"You have the best relationship with me. The Qin family also had a lot of dealings with my grandfather's family. This time, Qin Ge was wronged, and the Yue family contributed a lot to help me cover up your whereabouts after escaping from prison, even if my father didn't blame him, I was unhappy in my heart after all. ”

"If at this time, you choose to be a female official in the palace of diligence, my father will definitely not let you enter the palace."

"Because of this, it is equivalent to the two great families of the Qin family and the Yue family, and they have placed an eyeliner in front of the emperor."

"Emperor, how can you tolerate such a thing?"

Xiao Yue was cautious and made an analysis: "Over the years, my mother, in order to prevent the Yue family from being too conspicuous, has endured many things in the palace without fighting or grabbing. Therefore, the Changqing Palace also has this temperament, and never takes the initiative to compete for favor. ”

"If you go there, it seems to the outside world that at most, the Qin family sent you to the queen mother to be your own person in order to repay the kindness, and the father will not suspect the intentions of the Qin family, nor will he doubt whether the Yue family wants to cultivate a secret pile in the palace."

"As for Chonghua Palace... Lu Qiaoyu saw that you were by my mother's side, and she didn't dare to embarrass you on the surface. After all, although my father and my mother are no longer as affectionate as they were young, they are still husband and wife who support each other, and each respects each other and is willing to give respect. ”

Xiao Yuehuai sorted out these stakes and said, "Lingering." My mother happened to lack a first-class female official to manage all the affairs of the harem for her. You entered the Changqing Palace, with the care of my mother and the assistance of Aunt Wen, you will soon be able to establish a solid foundation. ”

"At that point, it will be much easier to secretly train people."

She went through it in great detail.

Qin E agreed: "You're right. Even if I am lucky enough to enter the Imperial Palace, Your Majesty will guard against me everywhere, which is not conducive to future planning. ”

Xiao Yuehuai got up, paced back and forth in the room, and finally thought of something, walked up to Qin E, pressed her shoulders with both hands, and said with a serious attitude: "Curly." Listen up. I am grateful that you are willing to accompany me on this thorny path. But at the same time, I want you to protect yourself whenever and wherever you want. If one day, others threaten me, don't do anything stupid for me. ”

"Please believe me, even if I am in prison, I will definitely fight back and protect myself."

Hearing this, Qin E was a little faintly uneasy. For some reason, she felt that Xiao Yue had a determination to see death as home.

She frowned, stopped talking, held Xiao Yuehuai's hand on her shoulder, looked deeply at the girl in front of her, and after hesitating again and again, she gave up asking.

She thought that no matter what the future holds, she would choose to walk side by side with the princess.

In that case, there is no need to say more.

She bowed solemnly, her eyes burning: "Okay." I promise you. ”

Qin E accompanied Xiao Yuehuai to stay in the princess's mansion for seven full days before leaving.

After packing up the belongings needed to enter the palace in the boudoir, she prepared to go to the royal palace to participate in the selection of female officials.

Before leaving the mansion, he heard a report from the porter, saying that the Lang Jun of the Qi family was blocking the alley and did not let her personal maid send the name card to the palace for review.

Qin E didn't want to see him, but Qi Yue wanted to play a scoundrel, forcing her to go out of the house and make a decision.

Lang Jun in the alley, wearing official uniforms, led a large number of officials to surround the Qin family's ox cart.

Qin E couldn't bear it anymore, stood on the steps, stared at Qi Yue not far away with cold eyes, and said loudly: "I don't know what Lord Qi means?" actually led the officials of the Criminal Department to the cold house? ”

Qi Yue strode up, looking anxious, and called softly: "Wrap up!" ”

Qin E immediately scolded: "Lord Qi! Please respect yourself! I'm not related to you, how can you call my little words in front of everyone's eyes? ”

Qi Yue's steps paused, his eyes surprised.

The girl's expression was so indifferent that she didn't even want to raise her eyes to look at him. Qi Yue took a step back with difficulty, with a bitter face, and asked cautiously, "Qin Niangzi, I'm here today... I want to give this to you. ”

He took out a roll of paperwork sealed with lacquer in a bamboo tube from his arms, held it in both hands and handed it to Qin E.

The girl took it and found that it was a letter. For a while, the five flavors were mixed, and the hand holding the bamboo slip trembled slightly.

This moment is long and suffocating.

After a moment of silence, Qin E smiled and threw the bamboo scroll back.

She said, "Qi Yue." I also really liked you for five whole years. But in the past five years, you have trampled on my dignity countless times, leaving me to live in your shadow, like a harlequin. ”

"Now that I've let you go, you're going to continue to humiliate me?"

Qi Yue shook his head vigorously and hurriedly explained: "I... I'm here today to propose. ”

Qin E sneered: "Propose? You brought so many people from the Criminal Department to besiege the car of my Qin Mansion... But you told me that you want to propose? Qi Yue, are you a fool to me? ”

Lang Jun was at a loss and stumbled: "No." I've heard... You have to participate in the selection of female officers. I... If you don't, you won't be seen. ”

Qin E was very bored: "If it's just to see me, Lord Qi's goal has been achieved, you can let my maid pass, right?" ”

Qi Yue refused, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't agree!" I won't let you enter the palace! ”

The girl seemed to have heard a big joke, stared at Qi Yue, and said with a cold look: "Who are you?" Do I need your consent? Qi Yue, do you think too highly of yourself? ”

Qi Yue hung his head and was stunned: "I... I'm not qualified. However, there are many things in the palace where there are open and secret battles, and you die and I die. I don't want you to get into that kind of danger. At least you're outside the palace, and I can protect you. ”

Qin E sneered: "I don't think you can protect me. For example, when the Qin family was in trouble, for example, when I was in distress in the palace, Ah Huai came to the rescue. In my opinion, she can protect me better than you do. ”

Qi Yue's anger swelled up, and she asked, "So, are you going to enter the palace and pay for your life to repay her kindness?" If you say so, it will be Your Majesty who will pardon the Qin family in the end! Do you still want to make a personal promise to Your Majesty?! ”

She looked at him in disbelief, and the pain that was eroding her bones spread in her heart: "Lord Qi thinks... I want to marry His Majesty as a concubine? ”

Qi Yue was stunned, reacted to what he said, and immediately clenched his fists in annoyance, and defended: "I, I didn't mean that." I just..."

Qin E interrupted him and said in extreme disappointment: "In your eyes, what kind of cheap person am I?" ”

"Qi Yue. I didn't want to embarrass you like that. I loved you vigorously, and I never regretted those years. But now, I'm going to make a line with you! I don't want to continue to entangle with people who look down on me. ”

Qi Yue panicked: "No, it's curling." We..."

Qin E shouted sharply: "Lord Qi! If you talk more nonsense, I don't mind letting the whole capital know about the ugly things your Qi family did back then! Don't force me to die! ”

Qi Yue's face was pale and shaky.

He knew that he had completely lost Qin E.
