"I've always heard that Tiema Qiu Xia is a great hero. How could he be like a thief, hiding in a tree and listening to others?" Qiu Yilan narrowed her eyes and pointedly accused!
Qiu Feng did not deny it: "Qiu had indeed been hiding in the tree just now, but this was because in the evening, after his brother Ruan Qingyan heard rumors from outside, he was worried that the princess would be too worried and angry. In case she couldn't think about it... So he asked Qiu to come. Protect in secret.”
He said sternly, "After Qiu arrived, although he had been paying attention to the princess, he did not deliberately eavesdrop and spy. It was only in the dead of night that I heard a few words. Naturally, Qiu will never tell anyone."
Qiu Yilan snorted: "My cousin has always loved me. If he was worried about me, why didn't he come to visit himself? Why did he leave it to an outsider like you?"
"My brother was so drunk that he fell unconscious today. Even when he asked Qiu to be entrusted, he still spoke confusingly." Qiu Feng said with a smile, "By the way, this is your jade pendant. The princess must know it." He took out a piece of jasper. The pendant is exactly what Ruan Qingyan often wears.
With Ruan Qingyan's martial arts, it would not be easy to take away the jade pendant from him.
Even if he was drunk, there would always be someone around to take care of him.
Moreover, according to the Lian family, this Qiu Feng is not a villain. Qiu Yilan's doubts were slightly reduced, and she nodded and said: "It is indeed my cousin's object, but I wrongly blamed you just now. I'm really sorry."
"Brother Ling's request is that unless the princess does something unwise, Qiu doesn't have to reveal herself. This jade pendant is also for Qiu to use when she helps the princess." Qiu Feng muttered, "It's just that Qiu didn't expect the princess's words... So unique that he accidentally made a noise and alarmed the princess. "
Qiu Yilan sighed: "My cousin is really working hard, what can I do about a mere rumor? He has to worry about it too." Then she asked, "When did Qiu Daxia meet my cousin? I didn't listen to my cousin. Pass you."
Remember the last time I told Ruan Qingyan about Qiu Feng, he looked like he knew Qiu Feng but didn't recognize him at all? How many secrets does this cousin have
Qiu Feng did not mince words: "I had contact with him in the south in my early years. My brother is generous and generous, and I have experienced kindness from Qiu several times."
Generous and heroic
Qiu Yilan looked at him strangely for a moment - forget about generosity, where is the heroic look of Ruan Qingyan who is so deep and calculating at every step of the city
"I also heard that my cousin was the son of a wealthy businessman when he was in the south." Qiu Yilan couldn't say that he had to find out the real details of Ruan Qingyan, but he didn't want to let it go if he had the opportunity to understand. In the dead of night, Chunran, Xia Ran is not here yet, so of course he wants to use Qiu Feng's words, "But I don't know that he has known Qiu Daxia for a long time - I wonder if his former aunt and uncle are okay?"
Unexpectedly, Qiu Feng sighed: "At the beginning of the year, when Qiu was about to go north, the Pang family was infected with the epidemic, and the whole family was gone."
"...So this is how my cousin got his status as a VIP at the end of the world?" Qiu Yilan's mouth twitched.
Naturally, she didn't dare to say this in front of Qiu Feng, so she thought about it and said, "Huh? Such a thing could happen? This is really..." She vaguely said, "I heard from my cousin Lian family that Qiu Feng The hero has always been in the south. Is he going north this time for the imperial examination? "
Qiu Feng didn't seem to want to reveal the purpose of his trip north to her, so he answered the question unreasonably: "I think Ruan Qingyan should have been sobered up by now. Seeing that the princess was in good spirits, Qiu wanted to go back and report to him first, so as not to worry him, so he came in person. What does the Lord think?”
Qiu Yilan said angrily: "Master Qiu, just do whatever you want."
Watching the autumn wind blow through the house, Su He said in fear: "Princess, can he really keep secrets?" Although Su He had heard from the Lian family before that this iron-horse Qiu Xia promised thousands of gold, but Qiu Yilan's words just now were so arrogant...
Qiu Yilan didn't take it seriously: "Would the person my cousin sent me choose someone who is unreliable? You know, the last time Jiang Yashuang and I had a few words in the house, you guys were still standing guard at the door. I was watching from outside! He scolded me for nothing! Now he asked this person to sneak into our yard in the middle of the night, which shows how trustworthy this person is!"
Su Heyi thought so - but Qiu Yilan said again, "Besides, if he goes out and talks, am I going to admit it? There are so many people talking about me outside now, what kind of excuses are there? Anyone with a brain knows that those words are true or false. There’s so much pretense, you’re brainless, what do I care about this kind of person!”
"..." Su He secretly vomited a mouthful of blood and said weakly, "Then you really don't consider agreeing to General Jiang?"
Qiu Yilan waved her hand: "You go back to sleep. Don't tell Mama Zhou and the others about this. Otherwise, I won't bear to treat you badly, but I can find a good family for you in advance and allow you to go out!"
Su He immediately said: "My maid will definitely not tell you, please don't drive me away!"
After dismissing Su He, Qiu Yilan stretched and walked into the inner room to settle down: "There is a tough battle to be fought tomorrow! Jiang Yashuang, you have to work harder, don't really trick me to death!"
Early the next morning, after she had just finished washing her clothes and had only used half of the bowl of rice porridge, Shen Shui hurriedly ran in holding up her skirt: "The Deng family is here!"
He took a breath and added hastily, "The wife of the Prince of Guangyang personally accompanied Mrs. Gu here!"
Qiu Yilan put down her toothbrush, took a sip of the tea next to her, and then asked, "Are you in the front hall, or do you come directly to me?"
Shen Shui almost stamped his feet: "Princess Yang is waiting in the front hall to receive Princess Princess, what should we do now!?"
"I've been told to go see you, then go and see you!" Qiu Yilan said nonchalantly, "What else should I do?"
She was able to keep her composure, but none of Zhou's mother, Chunran and others were driven crazy by the anxiety. Although Da Rui is said to be open-minded and can't help but remarry, for things like climbing the wall with solid evidence, it's totally unacceptable!
Even though Qiu Yilan was the princess, Deng Yi was still the great-nephew of Empress Dowager Gu! Would the Gu family let their grandson be so embarrassed? !
While the servants were scratching their heads and almost vomiting blood, Qiu Yilan finished her breakfast, ordered another bowl of almond tea and drank it leisurely for a while, before Xiu Nong came to invite her: "The wife of the Prince of Guangyang and Mrs. Gu is here, Princess, please go to the front to speak."
Qiu Yilan ordered Su Huan to go. Halfway through, Xiu Nong looked around and saw that there was no one in front of him, and whispered: "The princess said that she believed that you are not the kind of person who has no rules. When she met the prince's wife and Mrs. Gu, , if you have any grievances, don’t say anything!”
When Su He heard this, he immediately looked at her suspiciously and warily.
Qiu Yilan smiled with understanding: "Don't worry, although I don't want to marry Deng Yi, I won't make fun of my reputation because of it." She had already calculated that Princess Yang would definitely try her best to speak for her this time - after all Not to mention that Princess Yang has a biological daughter, her only son Qiu Yinzhi is not yet old enough to marry. If her direct cousin is in trouble, how can she marry a famous lady in a few years
The marriage between Qiu Hongzhi and the Ding family has been decided for a long time. What happens to the Qiu family now? Unless the Ding family regrets the marriage completely shamelessly, they can only knock it out and swallow it! How could Princess Yang, who regarded Qiu Hongzhi as a serious enemy, allow Qiu Hongzhi to take such advantage
Sure enough, she arrived at the front hall and went up to the hall to meet everyone one by one. After the ceremony, Princess Yang said: "Look, as long as this child doesn't go out, she will always be dressed in mourning for her mother at home. Now when she goes out to meet guests, she doesn't see her at all. Red. How many girls at this age don't like to wear red and green? But she can bear it! It shows that she is a filial child. In this case, how can she be alone with her husband? she!"
Qiu Yilan remembered to maintain a cowardly appearance in front of Mrs. Gu, lowered her head and kept silent, only paying attention to the visitors from the corner of her eyes.
She had seen Mrs. Gu sitting in the first seat. Today, Mrs. Gu was still as beautiful as ever, but her face was covered with frost. She paid no attention to Princess Yang's soft cheeks and said bluntly: "Princess Yang, I know the six counties in my house. Lord, she is your own flesh and blood. So even if you hate this niece, you will definitely speak up for her! You just have to be conscientious! Please think about the wife that my son will hire in the future! No, your in-laws are helping to cover it up, how do you feel?"
Princess Yang, who had to go to great lengths to protect Qiu Yilan's reputation for the sake of her children, was secretly vomiting blood. When she heard Mrs. Gu's words again, she almost lost her breath and fainted: "Your son just hired a shameless person." Hu Meizi!”
However, although Mrs. Gu's official title was not high, she was only a fourth-rank person, but she was the Queen Mother's niece. Now she came to the house because Qiu Yilan was rumored to be in an uproar. How could Princess Yang dare to offend her
Before she could think of a way to defend Qiu Yilan without offending Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Tang, the wife of Prince Guangyang, after looking at Qiu Yilan, said, "What my aunt said is right, and the princess represents Ning Yijun." The good things the Lord said are too ridiculous. How many people wear red and green to observe mourning? Princess Ningyi came out to meet her in plain clothes today, but she was just doing what Xiaozhong should do. Go out! Princess Ningyi not only went to Yunyi Tower yesterday, but she also went to the Jiang Family Courtyard next door? "
Hearing this, Mrs. Gu's face stretched even longer, and murderous intent flashed in her eyes!
Princess Yang hurriedly said: "You two really misunderstood! I also knew that this child went out yesterday, but it was because Princess Chunfu said that there was a potted crabapple bonsai at the Ci Conference held in Yunyi Tower. It was the second brother's When he was alive, he congratulated Duke Qin’s wife on her birthday. Princess Chunfu thought that the child had never seen her father, so she sent a message asking her to come and see if it was something that had passed through her father’s hands. "
Mrs. Gu didn't buy it and said coldly: "Oh, is that so? It's just that the private room upstairs in Yunyi was really a speech party? What day was it yesterday? I don't think you don't know, Princess Yang? Even so? It’s not the days of being a courtesan... Don’t you know what kind of places are around Yunyi Tower? They’re dirty places where serious girls should go!”
Tang said calmly: "Princess Yang is really evading the important! Why only mention Princess Chunfu and not mention that the 19th Young Master of the Jiang family also went to Yunyi Tower yesterday? Princess Ningyi really went to Yunyi Tower to see the Begonia flowers? Not for a private meeting?”
"Absolutely impossible!" Princess Yang wanted to say more, but Mrs. Tang raised her hand, pointed at Qiu Yilan and said, "Since the princess is here, why doesn't the princess speak for herself?"
Qiu Yilan glanced at her and said softly: "What happened yesterday? Please ask the wife of the prince to ask the Duke of Qin next door!"
"Are you using the Duke of Qin's wife to oppress me?" Mrs. Tang smiled coldly - she is also a beauty, otherwise she would not be respected by Gu Yan. Her long face, with eyebrows like the moon and phoenix eyes shining brightly, was filled with anger and sarcasm. Looking over, she looked even more noble and inviolable, "Who is your wife, Duke of Qin? I asked you something, and you asked me to ask her?!"
Mrs. Gu was furious when she said one sentence: "Slut!"
"My wife, Mrs. Gu!" Princess Yang was shocked and secretly scolded Qiu Yilan for being dizzy. She never knew how to advance or retreat - only to see Qiu Yilan suddenly raise her head, revealing the despair and anger of being forced into a dead end: " Mrs. Gu also knew that yesterday was the day for the Oiran competition, and there was a huge crowd of people upstairs and downstairs in Yunyi! How stupid must I be to choose to interact with my foreign man on such a day, but I couldn’t see such an obvious frame-up? I doubt that the madam and the prince’s wife did this on purpose, right?”
