"What do you mean by this, did you misunderstand the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Xiao Concubine hurriedly explained, thinking about Qingle, so she hurriedly said, "Don't get me wrong, my father is not the kind who loses his temper Everyone may have some prejudice against the Prime Minister's Mansion, if you need help, you can go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I will say hello to them, the Prime Minister's Mansion will never make things difficult for you."
The man glanced back at Xiao Concubine, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes.
"Go back quickly, your friend is quite frightened."
Hearing this, Concubine Xiao hurriedly caught up with the servant girl, thinking about Qingle in her heart, with a face full of self-blame.
After Xiao Concubine left, Qin Yunting also came out. After walking a few steps, he met the man, his face changed slightly, "Why are you back?"
The man was none other than Qin Yu, the second young master of the Qin family, but he was a concubine, and he was no more favored than Qin Yunting, the eldest son.
Qin Yu raised his eyes and looked at Qin Yunting. Before he could open his mouth, he put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly. Because of the cough, his fair face was slightly flushed, and his thin body became even more slender.
Qin Yunting frowned, "You are not well and come back alone, what if something happens, I will take you to see the doctor."
A trace of sarcasm flashed across Qin Yu's eyes, and it took him a long time to regain his senses, "No need, my body has always been like this, so don't bother me."
After saying that, Qin Yu walked towards the Qin family step by step with his luggage on his back. He was dressed in common clothes and his figure was thin, but his back was unusually straight.
Qin Yunting took a look, then withdrew his expression, and quickly headed towards Zhen's house.
This concubine Xiao accompanied Qingle back to the princess mansion. After the imperial doctor hurriedly felt Qingle's pulse, "The princess is caused by extreme fright, and it's not a serious problem. Go back and take a good rest, and then take a few to soothe your nerves and replenish your energy." The decoction will be fine."
Miss Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, "Thank you, the imperial physician."
After a while, Qingle opened her eyes, bit her lips tightly, and tears flowed across the corners of her eyes, sobbing silently, and the maids in the room retreated tactfully.
Concubine Xiao sat in front of the bed, "Qingle, I'm sorry, it's all my fault and I shouldn't..."
"Xiao Jiu!" Qing Le choked up her voice, looked at Xiao Concubine with red eyes, "Is this what you wanted to mention to me yesterday?"
Concubine Xiao nodded, seeing that Qingle was so sad, her heart was also sore.
"My aunt and my cousin had a good impression of Zhen Yan, and they both wanted my cousin to marry Zhen Yan, but this was just my aunt's idea. I wanted to ask my cousin, but my cousin..."
As a result, Qin Yunting was very satisfied with Zhen Yan, she couldn't leave Zhen Yan's figure in her eyes for a moment, she remembered that in her previous life, Qin Yunting and Zhen Yan had an incompatible relationship.
In this life, how could the two make up a pair.
Qingle was even more desperate when he heard that, the scene outside the window was really an eyesore, and what Qin Yunting said in person, Qingle only felt very uncomfortable in his heart,
She was almost out of breath.
"Qingle, if you and your cousin want to be together, you will only suffer. My aunt is not easy to get along with. After a few days, I will go out with you to relax. Let's pick another good one later. , will it work?"
Xiao Yu kept comforting Qingle, Qingle closed her eyes and buried her head in the quilt, weeping in a low voice, without saying a word, her petite figure was hidden under the quilt, Xiao Yu's eyes were extremely sore.
It's all Zhen Yan!
Concubine Xiao suddenly felt that today's scene was calculated, and it happened to be such a coincidence that they saw it.
Concubine Xiao sat on the couch for two full hours, but Qingle didn't say a word, only her shoulders trembled slightly.
"Miss, it's getting dark, we should go back." Hongxiu walked in and said in a low voice.
"Qingle, I'll see you again tomorrow."
Xiao Concubine sighed, stood up and ordered a few maidservants to take care of Qingle, and then returned to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.
When returning to the courtyard, I happened to meet Prime Minister Right, Xiao Concubine walked over, "Father."
Prime Minister on the right looked up and saw Miss Xiao's eyes were slightly red, "What happened?"
Concubine Xiao shook her head, feeling aggrieved for Qingle. The reason why Mrs. Qin looked down on Qingle was because of Qingle's temperament, and it should be more related to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.
Xiao Concubine tried to test Mrs. Qin before, although Mrs. Qin did not say it clearly, but her eyes were full of displeasure, so Xiao Concubine stopped asking any more questions.
"Father, why was the Qin family suddenly demoted from the capital by the emperor?"
Xiao Concubine raised her eyes and asked, Xiao Concubine was a little curious about what happened back then, and always felt that Mrs. Qin had misunderstood the Xiangfu.
Prime Minister on the right raised his eyebrows, "Why did Hao Duanduan ask about this?"
Concubine Xiao hesitated for a moment, so she told the right minister everything about today's affairs. The right minister is not stubborn, but very open-minded. He is not harsh on matters between men and women. As long as the bottom line is not touched, he is always open-minded Close your eyes.
Otherwise, Zhao Zun would not tolerate Zhao Zun's frequent visits to Xiang's mansion and night visits to Xiang's boudoir.
Prime Minister Right and Xiao Concubine came to the pavilion and sat down. The breeze came, blowing softly on the face, mixed with a scent of flowers, Xiao Concubine sniffed, feeling depressed.
"Xiao Jiu, you have to know that twisted melons are not sweet. Qingle is a good boy, but he has too little experience and is persistent. It's hard to turn back if he doesn't get hurt."
It is rare for Prime Minister Right to have time to chat with Xiao Concubine, "It's a pity that my father doesn't have a son under his knees, otherwise the Qin family will be able to pick and choose. Compared with those twists and turns, and sweet swords, the truth is the pure love of Qingle." good."
Concubine Xiao nodded, "But such a good celebration, my cousin doesn't like it, and my aunt doesn't like it either."
The prime minister on the right smiled, "Once there is a comparison, it's just a matter of time. Yun Ting is not bad, but he lacks some experience in some aspects. You only know that Yun Ting and Mrs. If you want to marry Miss Zhen, you have to see if Miss Zhen is willing to marry the Qin family."
After the right words fell, Xiao Concubine's eyes immediately lit up three points, but they dimmed again after a while, "My cousin is gentle and martial, and he is also handsome, and his family background is not bad. Many girls in the capital love me. Will Miss Zhen not like it?"
Prime Minister Right glanced at Xiao Concubine thoughtfully, and said with a smile, "How did Miss Zhen get the title of county lord?"
"Of course it's Yuqian Yiwu."
"Then why did you step forward to dance knowing that your legs and feet are inconvenient, knowing that you want to dance, but just going out just happened to startle the horse in front of the gate of the Zhao Mansion, and why did rumors spread about you and Lord Zhao during the trip to the Jokhang Temple?" Prime Minister Right said indifferently. He spoke in a calm tone, as if he saw everything in his eyes.
Concubine Xiao frowned, "I heard from my cousin that it was Miss Zhen who used Miss Zhen's birthday horoscope. She originally wanted to pray for Miss Zhen's blessing. It is reasonable for Miss Zhen to be weak and sick."
The Prime Minister on the right suddenly smiled, "Then why didn't you explain it when the city was full of wind and rain? Second Miss Zhen is just a concubine. Isn't Miss Zhen's reputation as a concubine not as important as Miss Zhen's? I explained it again, wouldn’t it be better to simply conceal it?”
The mist in Xiao Concubine's heart was sorted out. What my father said was right. Zhen Yan didn't explain her life and death at first, but why did she explain it to Qin Yunting afterwards
Woolen cloth.
If Zhao Zun does not go to the Jokhang Temple to seek evidence, will he be misunderstood forever
That day in Liufang Pavilion, Zhen Yan didn't mention a single word, so Zhen Yan caused people to misunderstand her several times because of Zhao Zun
Concubine Xiao was stunned for a moment, "Why did Zhen Yan do this?"
Prime Minister Right glanced at Xiao Concubine, and slowly stood up, "Think about it for yourself, it's getting late, go back and rest earlier."
Before Xiao Concubine could open her mouth, Prime Minister Right lifted her foot and left, leaving only a back view.
Concubine Xiao fell into deep thought. She had always felt that Zhen Yan seemed to be related to everyone around her, and no one was dissatisfied with Zhen Yan. That's strange!
Since Zhen Yan doesn't like Qin Yunting, why would she want to get involved with Qin Yunting under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xiao Concubine is a little puzzled.
The next morning, Concubine Xiao went to visit Qingle, but unexpectedly, Qingle went out early in the morning.
Xiao Concubine waited for more than an hour, but there was no sign of anyone. Seeing that it was noon, Qingle hadn't come back yet.
"I'll go back first, and come back tomorrow." Xiao Yu said.
The servant girl nodded, "The servant girl must tell the princess."
Concubine Xiao hummed lightly, and returned to the mansion with her maid, Concubine Xiao was in vain for three days looking for Qingle, Concubine Xiao was a little puzzled.
"Miss, Second Miss Zhao is here."
Miss Xiao raised her eyes when she heard the words, only to see Zhao Xianer rushing over, "Sister Xiao."
"Sister Zhao is free today, please take a seat."
Zhao Xian'er is very busy these days, Mrs. Zhao is expecting to give birth, and Mrs. Zhao is too old to handle general affairs, so this heavy responsibility falls on Zhao Xian'er.
Not only that, but Zhao Xian'er often went to visit Lu Liyuan and the others. She was so busy that she couldn't bother Xiao Concubine, but Zhao Xian'er came to the door in person.
"Sister Xiao, when I went out to visit Lu's house the day before yesterday, I happened to run into Qingle. I called her several times but didn't hear her. I had a very pleasant chat with Miss Zhen."
Zhao Xian'er was sensitive, and she didn't have a good impression of Zhen Yan. She only felt that this person was scheming, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
Others said that she was still worried, so she took a while to visit the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.
Concubine Xiao frowned, "You mean that Qing Le and Zhen Yan chatted happily?"
Zhao Xian'er nodded, "Yeah, I thought I was wrong, but I made a point of seeing clearly that it was the two of them who came out of a jewelry store and walked into a restaurant together."
Concubine Xiao nodded, Zhao Xian'er stood up, "I've been very busy these days, I have to go back, let's have a good chat when I'm not busy."
"become!"
Zhao Xian'er came in a hurry and left in a hurry. The words left behind made Miss Xiao puzzled.
"Miss, the day after tomorrow will be Miss Qin's make-up, and I have invited many ladies from all over the world."
Qingyu handed the post to Concubine Xiao, but she didn't know that Zhao Xianer had been here.
Concubine Xiao took a look at the post, "Prepare the set of ruby red hairstyles in the storeroom, and the red pomegranate will also look festive."
"yes!"
Concubine Xiao pushed aside her thoughts, she just hoped that Qingle would not do something wrong in a moment of confusion.
Soon it was the day when Qin Yun added makeup, Xiao Yu went out early in the morning, there were many carriages parked in front of the Qin Mansion, Xiao Yu just got out of the carriage, and Qing Le was just in time.
"Qingle!" Xiao Concubine called Qingle, Qingle paused, looked back at Xiao Concubine and smiled, "Xiao Jiu!"
Concubine Xiao leaned over, but just as she was about to speak, she saw someone on the other end calling Xinling County Lord, Qing Le turned her head and smiled at Zhen Yan, "The County Lord is here too."
Zhen Yan smiled lightly, dressed in light yellow, elegant and generous, yet delicate, "Yes, the princess came very early, Miss Xiao."
Zhen Yan greeted the two of them with a well-balanced attitude, neither close nor distant, with a faint smile on her face, making people unconsciously close to three points.
"Miss Zhen." Xiao Concubine nodded slightly, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.
"Don't be dazed, let's go in and chat." Qing Le dragged Concubine Xiao and walked in, her eyes flicking wildly, full of expectation and shyness.
Zhen Yan smiled and followed into the door.
A room full of girls surrounded Qin Yun, and the table was full of gift boxes. I don't know which girl mentioned something, which made everyone cover their mouths and laugh, and the room was full of laughter.
Qin Yun looked up and saw Xiao Concubine and Zhen Yan standing up immediately, "Sister Zhen, Xiao Jiu, you are here."
Concubine Xiao nodded, and just about to say something, Zhen Yan said, "This is Princess Qingle, Princess, and this is Miss Qin, Qin Yun."
Qing Le took a step forward and smiled at Qin Yun, "Miss Qin, congratulations."
Qin Yun followed suit with a smile, "Thank you Princess, I've heard of the name of the princess a long time ago, and seeing her today really deserves her reputation, I'm so happy that the princess can come."
"Miss Qin, if you don't mind, you can call me Qingle." Qingle and Qin Yun have the same temperament, so they both have a feeling of resentment for seeing each other later, and they get on well with each other.
"The princess is so friendly, so I'll take care of you, Qingle." Qin Yun smiled, obviously having a good impression of Qingle.
The room was very lively, with endless laughter and laughter, Zhen Yan suddenly opened the brocade box, "I made this myself, you may like it, but don't dislike it."
Everyone looked at it after hearing the words, and saw that there was a set of exquisite ruby jewelry in the brocade box, including eight red hairpins, a necklace, and a pair of earrings. The beautiful peony flowers are swaying, and the beads made of drooping red tassels are luxurious and extravagant.
"Wow! So beautiful!"
Everyone couldn't move their eyes away, Qin Yun naturally liked it very much, "Thank you sister Zhen for your trouble, I like it very much."
Zhen Yan smiled, "As long as my sister likes it."
Someone mentioned, "Miss Xiao Jiu is Miss Qin's cousin, what kind of congratulatory gift did you give?"
When Xiao Concubine heard this, she looked away from the brocade box in Zhen Yan's hand, her gaze was somewhat complicated.
Everyone booed, Qin Yun smiled, "I like whatever Xiaojiu gives me, so you don't have to compare."
With the pearls and jade in front of them, everyone could probably guess what it was after looking at the brocade box, and they planned to make Xiao Concubine make a fool of herself.
At this time, Mrs. Qin also walked into the room, smiling all over her face, "Why are you so happy, ouch, this jewelry is really beautiful."
As soon as Mrs. Qin approached, she was attracted by the brocade box in Zhen Yan's hand, and praised her several times.
"Mrs. Qin, we all want to see what gift of makeup Miss Xiao Jiu gave us, to broaden our horizons."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qin turned her head and looked at Concubine Xiao with a smile, "Xiao Jiu, since everyone wants to see it, don't spoil everyone's interest, why don't you open it and have a look?"
Concubine Xiao smiled, "Since everyone wants to see it, then I'll make a fool of myself."
As soon as the brocade box was opened, twelve round fans inside were revealed, and each round fan was painted with a picture of beauties, lifelike and beautiful, all of which showed the same person, it was Qin Yun, with different postures.
The strange thing is that this fan exudes a faint fragrance, the tentacles are warm and delicate, the handle of the fan is made of excellent jade, warm in winter and cool in summer, the surface of the fan is made of several layers of brocade yarn, half-covered and half-covered. .
Those who know the goods immediately said, "Isn't this the Yuejiao fan? Miss Xiao Jiu is such a great handicraft. She sells twelve of them. It's hard for others to buy one. Miss Xiao Jiu and Miss Qin are very close. "
Qin Yun smiled when she heard the words, "Thank you Xiaojiu, I like this fan very much. It just so happens that I am very afraid of heat. It is best to hold it in my hand to cool off these days."
"As long as my cousin likes it." The gift Xiao Yu gave was ingenious. The Qin Yun on it was painted by Xiao Yu herself, and Qin Yun could see that Xiao Yu put a lot of effort into it.
Xiao Concubine originally planned to give her jewelry, but later thought it was too casual. After thinking about it for a long time, it happened that Zhao Zun sent someone to give her a big box, which contained the twelve round fans.
So Aunt Xiao borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and gave these twelve round fans to Qin Yun. Aunt Xiao was glad that she did not send ruby jewelry.
Zhen Yan glanced at the twelve round fans, clenched her fists tightly, and raised the corners of her mouth, "This month's dragon fan is exquisitely crafted and made of different materials. It is made in a small town in Bianzhou. The brocade yarn used for the fan surface usually only takes half a year to weave once." You can't buy a ruler even if you have money, Miss Xiao must have prepared it early, compared with Miss Xiao, I am inevitably stingy."
Zhen Yan said it half-jokingly, and everyone didn't take it seriously, but Mrs. Qin said, "In my opinion, Miss Zhen's jewelry is more to my liking. Although the round fan is good, I don't want to use a fan to show off in winter, right?" .”
When Qin Yun heard the words, she winked at Mrs. Qin, only then did Mrs. Qin realize, "Xiao Jiu also has a heart, these fans are enough for your cousin to fan for several years."
