Su Hezhan said tremblingly: "It was my own idea!"
"Why?" Qiu Yilan frowned.
"...Because my cousin is now focused on his future career." Su He bit his lip and said timidly, "I'm afraid that he's treating you well for the sake of the marriage arranged by the princess. So... I want to give him a try. ”
"Shouldn't I be the one to do this kind of thing?" Qiu Yilan thought, no wonder Mrs. Lu said that Ruan Qingyan might not have good intentions. No, even Su He doubted him!
Su He's eyes were filled with tears: "How can that be done? If your servant said something wrong, you can hit or scold him, and you can always explain it to your cousin. But if you and your cousin are at loggerheads, you are here now. !”
"Don't worry about this kind of thing anymore!" Qiu Yilan looked at the little girl who was not taller than herself and sighed, "I have a sense of propriety!" Seeing what Su He wanted to say, she simply slapped the table again, " Are you disobedient?"
Su He then said: "I don't dare, I will definitely be obedient in the future!"
"Go get water." Qiu Yilan sent her out, her face darkening:
What was before her now was the imminent threat from the people in Xihe Palace. After seeing the appearance of General Ruan, she had decided to kill Mrs. Lu no matter what when she went back to calm herself down, otherwise she would I really can't sleep - the other one is the engagement that seems to have a buffer of two or three years.
But the latter is far trickier than the former.
According to memory, her marriage to Deng Yi was proposed by the King of Guangyang on behalf of Deng Yi, and then agreed by Qiu Mengmin, the King of Xihe.
By the time Princess Ruan found out about it, both families had changed their gender stickers.
The backstage of Guangyang Palace is Queen Mother Gu, so it is almost impossible for her to regret this marriage. The only hope was that Deng Yi didn't want to get married and get into trouble with his maternal family... But the marriage was decided two years ago. If Deng Yi was willing to make trouble, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been delayed until now.
"Originally I wanted to keep that favor for later, but now it seems that it is better to settle the engagement first to avoid long nights and dreams - what if someone forgets me in a few days?" Qiu Yilan thought about it, although Ruan Qingyan was wholeheartedly in it. Help her, but this cousin has just arrived in Beijing. He is unfamiliar with the place and is still taking root.
Even if he got into high school in one fell swoop in Chunwei, even if he got the top prize in the exam, he was still far different from the Guangyang Palace.
And everyone in this dynasty knows that the only one who can challenge Queen Mother Gu is Queen Jiang.
"General Jiang is just one of the queen's nephews. Even if he is favored, he may not be able to make the queen obey him; even if he can, he may not be willing to return the favor to this extent." Qiu Yilan thought about how to ensure that Jiang Yashuang would meet Regardless, "But last time he tempted me into the fight between the two queens... maybe we can start from here?"
The next day Ruan Qingyan came to see her, and she asked: "What happened between the two empresses recently?"
Ruan Qingyan didn't know why she suddenly cared about this, and said: "Nothing, what's wrong?"
"Last time, cousin, you said that the Queen Mother ordered the death of four close female officials. What happened?" Qiu Yilan thought for a while and asked.
Ruan Qingyan glanced at her strangely, but still replied: "This matter is strange. Those four female officials have all been serving the Queen Mother for many years, and they are usually very popular with the Queen Mother. I listen deeply... I listen to Hua Shi He said that even if the prince and princess saw the four of them in the palace, they would not dare to neglect them. As a result, the Queen Mother would kill them if they wanted to. The crime was still stealing the property from the Queen Mother's palace!"
"The prime minister's family is a seventh-grade official, let alone the master who is the queen mother. How can he be short of property?" Qiu Yilan shook his head and said, "No matter how short-sighted you are, you can still be measured in serving the queen mother for many years. This reason must be fabricated."
"Why do you suddenly ask this?" Ruan Qingyan asked again.
"Yesterday, I suddenly remembered that Cousin Kang went to the palace for a banquet." Qiu Yilan responded calmly, "She is a commoner's daughter, but she only returned a cat, and she was invited to a New Year's Eve banquet? That's a fifth-grade woman. The above-mentioned occasions can only be attended by officials and their families. The Queen Mother and the Queen are not on good terms, so the Queen is not afraid that the Queen Mother will scold her for not knowing the rules? "
Ruan Qingyan muttered: "It's indeed suspicious... But this invitation was sent by Princess Yongfu. It is said that this princess is naive and young. Maybe it was her whim."
Qiu Yilan originally wanted to divert his attention, but when her goal was achieved, she went along with the situation and said, "What my cousin said is that I forgot that Princess Yongfu is not very old."
Then he said a few familiar words to Ruan Qingyan - because it was the Chinese New Year and he had a lot of busy things to do, Ruan Qingyan didn't sit in Green Rose Garden for long before he was asked to leave by Ruan An.
As soon as he left, Qiu Yilan called Su He to him alone and whispered in his ear.
After hearing a few words, Su He said happily: "Go and tell General Jiang the truth?" He also wondered, "Why do you want to make an appointment with him in private? If he doesn't believe it, he can come to visit your house during the day and ask your cousin to accompany you to explain the situation. !”
"I heard that my grandfather and the Duke of Qin didn't have much of a rivalry in the past. General Jiang came over openly. Who knows whether it would make the Duke of Qin unhappy?" Qiu Yilan frowned and said, "And you just said a few words at the back door of the General's Mansion. How dare you Are you afraid that I will suffer a loss? That young general has always had a good reputation. Besides, he is willing to thank Cousin Kang for being a lion cat. How can he treat me badly?"
Su He was worried: "What if he has preconceptions about the palace's remarks and thinks that the princess has something else... to lie to him?"
"If nothing else, are we going to let Cousin Kang take the credit?" Qiu Yilan pushed her, "Stop dragging your feet! Listen to me!"
