The carriage stopped in front of the Hou Mansion, and Fu Ling jumped down first.
"Miss, slow down—"
Qin Wan supported Fu Ling's hand and went down, and Fu Ling took down the prepared gift box. As soon as the two of them walked up the steps of the Hou's Mansion, someone from the concierge went in to inform, and the familiar guards of the Hou's Mansion saluted familiarly. Walked in without hindrance.
Going inward along the main road in the mansion, Yue Ning walked over in a white dress before she walked too far.
Her black hair stood up with white silk ribbons, hanging down her head in a heroic manner, her clothes fluttered as she walked, and a warm sun seemed to hang in her bright eyes, "Hey... what do you mean you brought something? "
Yue Ning strode up to Qin Wan's side, her tone was a bit surprised, "It's not a new year's day..."
Qin Wan blessed Fushen, Yue Ning helped her up carelessly, and still looked at Qin Wan with doubts, although Yue Ning was not as good-sighted as Qin Wan, but she still had an intuition today that Qin Wan was here for something ,"What happened?"
"Don't worry, princess, there is indeed something to tell you and Princess Taichang."
Yue Ning frowned, and asked first, "Is it a good thing or a bad thing..."
Qin Wan's eyes brightened for a moment, "It should be a good thing, but it's not necessarily true."
Qin Wan didn't know what was waiting for her on the way back to Beijing, let alone when would be the best time, so she couldn't be sure, so she came up with the word "not sure". What the hell is going on?"
"People from the Hou's Mansion of the capital are here to take our three sisters to the capital."
Qin Wan's voice was calm, but Yue Ning stopped abruptly, "Pick you up to the capital?"
Qin Wan nodded, "I arrived yesterday, and we will leave in four days."
A sudden flash of light flashed in Yue Ning's eyes, "It's the same way, it's strange that you have prepared a gift, so you are here to say goodbye to us..." Yue Ning sighed, with a depressed face, "I will be here in four days. It's too hasty to go."
Yue Ning slowed down, and Qin Wan also walked slower, "Winter is coming soon, and there is still a short month before going to the capital. If it snows on the road, it will delay the trip, so the time is very fast. Urgent, I want to go to the capital before the twelfth lunar month."
Yue Ning pursed her lips, and didn't know what to say for a moment. Qin Wan grew up in the capital before, and now that something happened to Qin's residence in Jinzhou, it was reasonable for them to be taken back to the capital, but it was too sudden. Thinking of Qin Wan To leave, Yue Ning still felt a little unhappy in her heart, "You will never come back to Jinzhou after you go, right?"
Qin Wan lowered her eyes and smiled, "I don't know..."
Yue Ning snorted softly, "You have gone to the capital, and you will get married in a few years, so where will you come back?"
Qin Wan laughed and shook his head, "The princess may also go back to the capital, and we will see you again."
Yue Ning snorted again, she looked like a sulky little daughter who was always neat and cheerful, Qin Wan felt sad when she saw her like this, and said, "I didn't expect to come to pick us up suddenly. "
Yue Ning sighed as she thought about it, "Forget it, let's go see grandma first—"
The two walked slowly for a moment, then quickened their pace, and when they arrived at Taichang Princess' courtyard, Taichang Princess and Jiang Shi were both present, Qin Wan stepped forward to salute, and asked Fu Ling to bring up the gift, Jiang Shi As surprised as Princess Taichang and Yue Ning were, Qin Wan hurriedly explained the purpose of coming, and Princess Taichang and Jiang Shi were even more surprised when they heard that Zhongyonghou's people wanted to pick Qin Wan up.
"Why are you suddenly taking your sisters to the capital?"
Jiang's brows were slightly frowned, "Is it just because of this incident in the Qin family?"
Qin Wan nodded, "It's the third brother who is here, the son of the Zhongyong Houfu, that's what he said."
Jiang Shi looked at Princess Taichang, although Princess Taichang didn't speak, she was a little thoughtful on her face, and said after a while, "In the current situation of the Qin family, it is indeed better to go back to the capital."
After a slight pause, Princess Taichang worried again, "It's just that you have been away from the capital for many years, and you may not be used to it when you go back now. The situation in the capital is also much more complicated than Jinzhou, and you may have more difficulties. "
The corners of Qin Wan's lips curved slightly, "Don't worry, Princess Taichang, you know my temperament, so you will naturally take good care of yourself."
Princess Taichang listened and nodded, "Of course I'm relieved of your temper, but it's hard for us to see each other after you leave Jinzhou, and we seldom take care of each other on a daily basis. Your parents are gone, although your uncle and aunt will be there when you go back, but From my point of view, you are still going back to the capital alone, so naturally I am concerned."
Qin Wan's heart warmed when she heard that, although she was the one who saved the Taichang Princess first, but that time it was just a little effort on the street, but the Taigong Princess still remembered it in her mind. Although she also helped the Houfu later, But all of this stems from the fact that Princess Taichang invited her to Yue Jia's big wedding with a heart of gratitude. Without that invitation, her situation would be far from what it is.
Qin Wan's heart was moved, and her eyes were wet and clear, "I know that Princess Taichang and his wife miss me, but people have come to the Hou's Mansion in the capital, so they have to go back. Princess Taichang is getting better and better, and she plans to go back in the future." Capital?"
Princess Taichang sighed, "When I left there, I said I would never go back. I don't know what will happen in the future, so I am worried. Now that you have left, I don't know if we will see you again."
When Qin Wan heard this, a wave of sadness welled up in her heart. Unlike Yue Ning's Jinlan friendship, the concern of Princess Taichang and the Jiang family is the concern of her elders. Many times it reminds her of her parents. Princess Taichang Although she is in good health, she is old after all. At this age, she is bound to be sick. If there is an accident, maybe she really won't be able to see her.
"Naturally we will see you again." Qin Wan couldn't say so many good words, but turned around and took a box from Fu Ling, "This is the prescription I prepared for Taichang Princess, and it is all good for Taichang Princess' body. According to these Fang Zi, will definitely be able to gradually dispel the evil wind in the body of the Taichang Princess. On weekdays, the Taichang Princess needs to move around more, and the diet can be supplemented properly. I have also written some taboos in it, the most important thing The most important thing is that the Taichang Princess should keep her mood happy, so as not to catch the cold easily, and the weather will be cold in two days, so she should light up the earth dragon in the house earlier... "
As Qin Wan said, her heart felt sore. The gifts she bought were nothing more than jade and ritual vessels, and the Hou Mansion naturally had all of them. After getting it down, there was even a secret recipe learned from the Medicine King Valley in the box, she couldn't copy it, and only replaced it with very similar medicinal materials, all of which are good recipes for nourishing the elderly's body.
When she made these plans, she was only worried that after she left Jinzhou, Princess Taichang would have to hire another doctor even if she had a headache. Taking Princess Taichang's health as her own responsibility, these prescriptions can be used for at least half a year. After half a year, Princess Taichang's body has undergone more changes, and then the prescription must be changed.
However, as soon as she said such a plan, it seemed that they were really hard to see in the future, and they were making farewell confessions. Not only Qin Wan, but also Jiang's nose was slightly sour. Qin Wan seemed to be confessing to the future All the things were explained with great care, so Jiang felt a little sorry for Qin Wanlai. Although she didn't say it clearly, she understood from the bottom of her heart that when the Zhongyonghou Mansion in the capital city sent her to Jinzhou, it must not have treated her as her own niece. Beloved.
And when we got along day by day, we didn't have multiple feelings. Now that we have to take her back after three years, the previous meager feelings have long faded away. Even if there is superficial politeness, it is by no means like a family. Get along like that.
And the Jiang family is also from a famous family in the capital. They are used to the open and secret fights in the circle of noble women in the capital, and they also know the intrigues in the deep house compound. They are only worried that Qin Wan will be bullied when he returns to the capital...
"Guan'er's heart is incomparable to Ning'er's. It's just that you say it like this, which makes me feel that it will be difficult to see you in the future. When you return to the capital, you will get married in less than two years. It will be difficult when the time comes. Come back to Jinzhou."
Jiang's voice was slightly hoarse, Yue Ning hurried over and hugged Jiang's arm.
Yue Ning can think of it, Jiang Shi can think of it naturally, Qin Wan listened to Jiang Shi's words and said hurriedly, "I will come back to see Taichang Princess and Madam at that time, and I can't go out without getting married reason."
Although Qin Wan said so, he knew that it was extremely difficult. There were many rich households in Jinzhou City, but most of them would never go as far as the capital in their lifetime. Qin Wan was just comforting himself The Jiang family understands the words of comfort to everyone, and so does the Taichang princess. After hearing this, the Taichang princess sighed again, "Speaking of marriage, I don't know how to arrange it for you."
Having said that, Qin Wan's heart sank again.
After the new year, she will be seventeen years old. In Dazhou, marriage can be discussed at the age of fourteen or fifteen. For ordinary girls, they will marry one after another from the age of fifteen, and the latest will be nineteen years old. When you are young and you are not married, you have to be criticized.
At the age of seventeen, the Houfu in the capital would probably start to think about this issue, but this time Qin Shuang and Qin Xiang were taken to the capital together. Qin Wan suspected that it was probably due to the Houfu's own considerations, after all, the Houfu only had one daughter.
After all, Princess Taichang has seen many times, and the words from her mouth confirmed Qin Wan's conjecture even more. She twitched the corners of her lips, "Don't worry about Princess Taichang, everyone has their own destiny. Law… "
Princess Taichang shook her head, "That's not the case. Your parents are gone. Originally, the loyal and brave Marquis is the one who decides in your clan, and your marriage is even more so. If he arranges it, I'm afraid he won't care about your thoughts."
Qin Wan lowered her eyes, and Princess Taichang always hit the nail on the head.
The Jiang family seemed to see that Qin Wan's heart sank at what Princess Taichang said, so she couldn't help persuading, "But that will happen in a year or two, and we'll just be there to help."
When Jiang shi said that, Princess Taichang didn't respond, she only showed deep thought in her eyes.
"Princess Taichang and his wife really don't have to worry about it. I won't force this matter."
Qin Wan really didn't force her marriage. Both of her parents were dead and she had no one to rely on. She had fallen into the bottom line in her life. She never thought about her own marriage, nor did she think about what kind of person she would marry. Well, she wanted to go back to the capital just to avenge her father, and for the rest of her life, she might only have this one thing in mind.
The Jiang family hesitated to speak, but Princess Taichang said, "It's extremely important for a daughter's family to marry. Although it depends on fate, you can't fully answer the word 'fate'. Sometimes God is unfair. You have to fight for it." Just fight."
Qin Wan bent her lips, she just didn't want Princess Taichang to worry too much about her own affairs, "Okay, don't worry, I will think about this matter carefully in the future, and with my temperament, others can't just force me to go .”
Saying so, Princess Taichang showed a bit of a smile, "That's well said, you have a temperament that looks gentle and gentle on the outside, but the tenacity in your heart is extremely strong. This is really like me, and you Remember, no matter what troubles you encounter in the future, just ask someone to send a letter to me, and I will ask someone to help you no matter what."
Qin Wan nodded hurriedly when she heard the words, "Yes, thank you, Your Highness Taichang Princess."
The Taichang princess waved her hand slightly to blame, Xu also felt that the topic was too heavy, so she turned around and said, "Leave in four days? Is the carriage performance ready? Is the little son of the Qin family with you? "
Qin Wan nodded hurriedly, "We are preparing, you don't have to worry about Xingyi. We are the three sisters who are going back together this time. There is a daughter's family traveling with us. Naturally, it is well-arranged. The third brother is with us. I heard that he brought the guards of the Houfu. It's extremely safe."
Princess Taichang breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good—"
Qin Wan came to bid farewell, but he didn't want to make everyone worry about her. Seeing that the weather outside was clear, he said, "Princess Taichang, do you want to go for a walk? Today I will walk with you for a while."
Princess Taichang smiled and stood up, "Then I have to hurry, you won't be able to accompany me in a few days."
Qin Wan hurriedly helped Princess Taichang up, and Yue Ning helped Princess Taichang on the other side, and they walked out together. Seeing that, Jiang was happy, so he also walked out, and walked outside for a while in the flower garden. Shi went to the kitchen to prepare lunch, and after a while, Yue Qing suddenly walked over from the east with a look of anxiety—
"Grandmother—nine girls—"
Yue Qing yelled from afar, Qin Wan and the others paused, and as soon as they stopped, Yue Qing walked up to him. Yue Qing looked at Qin Wan with concern, "Miss Nine, are you going back to the capital?"
Qin Wan blessed the body, and then he was slightly surprised, "How does the second son know?"
Yue Qing clenched his fists slightly anxiously, "I saw Lu Yun just now, and Lu Yun said so."
Luyun is Jiang's servant, who was waiting in the inner room just now, so she naturally knew that Qin Wan was leaving.
Qin Wan suddenly nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle Jingcheng sent his third brother to pick him up. Not only me, but also two older sisters are going back to the capital together—"
Yue Qing pursed his lips and frowned slightly, seeming a little anxious.
Qin Wan looked at Yue Qing and said with bent lips, "What's wrong, Your Highness?"
"If you leave, won't you come back to Jinzhou?"
Qin Wan glanced at Yue Ning and said hesitantly, "I'm not sure, but—"
Seeing Qin Wan's hesitant tone, Yue Qing understood Qin Wan's meaning. He looked at Qin Wan's hesitant words, but seemed not to know what to say. Yue Ning frowned slightly, and Princess Taichang narrowed her eyes slightly. , "Where did you come from? Where are Xiao Qi and the prefect?"
Qin Wan's heart moved slightly when she heard this, she had not seen Yan Chi in the Hou Mansion for so long, and the investigation of the case had not yet been completed, Qin Wan only thought that Yan Chi had left the mansion, did she not
Thinking about it this way, Yue Qing said, "We are discussing in the study—"
Princess Taichang said, "Okay, go over and say, dinner is coming soon, let them come to the back."
Yue Qing was still frowning, and didn't move immediately when she heard the words, but she couldn't speak when she looked at Qin Wan, so she nodded angrily and walked towards the study, Yue Ning blinked, "Second brother, what's wrong? "
Qin Wan also turned her head to think for a while, but didn't answer. Princess Taichang pointed to the flower hall not far away as if nothing happened, "Come on, let's go and sit down, and we will have dinner together later."
…
…
"This case has been investigated by so many people so far. At present, all the staff of the Inspectorate have been mobilized to draft files and verify the facts of the case. Once everything is clarified, it can be reported to the court."
Huo Huaixin took a sip of tea, although he looked tired, his eyes were shining.
At the end of the year, there was such a case in Jinzhou. If the case was not handled well, or barely managed, it would be his fault. Adding a touch of brilliance on top of it will at least allow him to be promoted to the rank of fourth rank one year in advance.
As he said that, Huo Huaixin looked at Yan Chi again, "This time, it is thanks to His Highness Shizi's help. If it weren't for this, I'm afraid that the lower officials will waste their minds on this case. Oh, and Miss Nine—"
Huo Huaixin looked at Yan Chi, and he didn't know if it was his illusion when he said the word "Nine Girls". He noticed that Yan Chi's eyes lit up, and Yan Chi's face remained calm, "Prefect Huo is the main force." , I'm just helping from the side."
The smile on Huo Huaixin's face was even wider, "I don't dare to do this, His Highness is indeed the one who took the lead in this case."
Seeing the two of them arguing back and forth, Yue Qiong laughed and said, "There is no need for you two to quarrel. It is the joint efforts of the two of you to expose such a big cancer in Jinzhou this time."
Huo Huaixin bowed his hands to Yue Qiong, "Your Majesty praised me—"
After saying this, Huo Huaixin turned to look at Yan Chi again, "This case is almost over, when will His Royal Highness return to Beijing?"
Yan Chi's eyes were pensive when he heard the words, and Huo Huaixin's heart skipped a beat when he saw Yan Chi's face like this, he was afraid that he had asked the wrong question, and Yue Qiong smiled and said, "I'm afraid I have to go back soon, I can't be true This is a solid proof of the name of the procurator for the punishment."
Huo Huaixin rolled his eyes, although he was not an official in the capital, he had a lot of experience in the court after all, he knew more about the movements in the court than Yue Qiong, he understood the deep meaning of Yue Qiong's words, so he didn't intervene now.
Yan Chi raised his brows and shook his head, "Don't worry, I think it's not a bad idea to punish me."
Yue Qiong was slightly surprised, "What does this mean? Now it is the end of the year, and it is the time when the government has undergone the greatest changes. After all, this envoy is just an idle job. After the Chinese New Year, what if the Holy Admiral gives you this idle job?"
Yan Chi bent his lips, but his expression calmed down, "Shuo Xi's army has a father, and the war is not going to be serious now, it would be just right for me to stay in the Ministry of Punishment." After a slight pause, Yan Chi said again, "What's more, when I go back to the capital at this time, I'm afraid there will be many troubles waiting for me. King Yong has more thoughts when he sits on the crown prince."
Yue Qiong understood clearly, "Yes, there have been quite a lot of changes in the court recently."
Yue Qiong is a duke, and Yan Chi is a serious royal relative. When they talk about court, even the current emperor can comment on it, but Huo Huaixin can't. His status is indeed the number one in Jinzhou , but in front of Yue Qiong and Yan Chi, it was still a little low, so when they heard the two talking about the imperial court and the establishment of the reserve, Huo Huaixin immediately stopped talking.
"So, I will decide when to return to Beijing after this case is completely cleared."
Yan Chi made a decision in one word, and Huo Huaixin said aside, "Yes, I'm afraid it will take half a month for the Inspectorate to clarify this case."
As soon as the words fell, Yang Xi said outside the door, "Master Hou, the second young master is here."
What Yue Qiong and the three said were mostly court affairs, and Yue Qing had almost never been involved in political party disputes, so Yang Xi reminded him outside that the three of them fell silent when the words fell, and soon, footsteps came to the door.
As soon as the door opened, Yue Qing strode in, nodded to Yan Chi and Huo Huaixin first, and then Yue Qing looked at Yue Qiong, "Father, grandma asked you to eat in the inner courtyard with His Highness Chi and Master Huo."
Yue Qing came to deliver a message, but he was upset because of Qin Wan's matter, and his expression had already shown.
Yue Qiong looked at him and asked directly, "What happened in the inner courtyard?"
Yue Qing subconsciously wanted to say it's okay, but on another thought, he simply said, "Ninth girl is here—"
Yan Chi's eyebrows moved, and Huo Huaixin subconsciously glanced at Yan Chi, while Yue Qiong's lips curved slightly, "It's a good thing that Miss Nine is here, why do you have such an expression, those who don't know think something bad happened."
Yue Qing pursed his lips, "The Zhongyonghou Mansion in the capital sent people here, first to help deal with the current crisis in the Qin Mansion, and second, to pick up the three sisters of the Qin Mansion to the capital, the nine girls came to say goodbye today , she will leave in four days."
As soon as these words came out, both Yue Qiong and Huo Huaixin raised their brows in surprise.
And Yan Chi's brows were slightly clustered, and then a bright light appeared in his eyes—
Before that, he was worried that they would be thousands of miles away after he returned to the capital, but now...she is going back to the capital too!
Yan Chi's heart surged with joy, could it be that God is helping him
"So suddenly? Are you going to leave in four days?"
Yue Qiong asked, and Yue Qing also nodded in frustration, "No, the people from Zhongyonghou's mansion arrived yesterday, and the person who arrived was Zhongyonghou Shizi, because he was afraid that the road would be unsafe if it snowed later, so he had to rush in." Arriving in the capital at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, and with the current situation of the Qin Mansion, I am afraid that they will not want to stay in Jinzhou for longer."
Yue Qiong nodded, "That's the truth. If you arrive in the capital early, you can still have a good New Year's Eve, and it's snowing in the north, and the mountains are often closed and the roads are closed. It's really dangerous for a few girls to travel together."
Having said that, Yue Qiong was a little worried again, "The Zhongyonghou Mansion took all three girls back to the capital at once?"
When he said this, he glanced at Yan Chi and Huo Huaixin. They are both men in the field of power. Naturally, they immediately thought of things related to power. The three of them almost simultaneously thought of marriage with a woman as a bargaining chip. .
Huo Huaixin frowned slightly, "The two ladies in the Qin family are alright, at least they still have their mother and elder brother, but Miss Nine's parents are gone, I'm afraid the situation won't be too good when they return to the capital."
Huo Huaixin wanted to follow Yue Qiong's words, and he was really worried about Qin Wan. Qin Wan helped him over and over again, and he was still grateful from the bottom of his heart.
"That's not true." Yue Qiong sighed, "When the time comes, we will be far away, and we will be beyond reach."
When Yue Qing heard what Yue Qiong and Huo Huaixin said, he felt that he had come to the right place, "That's right, father, my son also thinks the same way. If Miss Nine returns to the capital alone, if there is any trouble, we won't even be able to help."
Yue Qiong sighed, "But the Zhongyonghou Mansion must have made up their minds. People are here. After all, we are outsiders and it is not easy to intervene." Then, Yue Qiong said, "First prepare something she can use, and turn around I'll discuss it with your mother."
Yue Qing hesitated to speak, his worries were not limited to these, he was also worried that Qin Wan would leave, they would never see each other again, in a year or two, Qin Wan would probably be accepted by others, and his thoughts She doesn't know yet.
Yue Qiong was often in the outer courtyard, and felt that his son cared about Qin Wan very much, but he didn't think of going anywhere else. Anyway, he was going to have dinner at the back. He should meet Qin Wan and discuss it with his mother and wife.
Thinking like this, Yue Qiong stood up, "Okay, let's go eat first."
Yue Qiong greeted Huo Huaixin and delayed, and Huo Huaixin hurriedly raised his hand to greet, "You are welcome, Lord Hou, you are all on your own, please first—"
Yan Chi is a junior, so he let Yue Qiong go first, Yue Qiong grabbed Yue Qing's shoulders, and walked out first, Yue Qing followed Yue Qiong two steps, and couldn't help talking to Yue Qiong, "Father, Can Miss Nine really have to leave?"
Yue Qiong sighed, "This is the Qin family's business after all. Everyone's family is here, so how can we interfere?"
Yue Qing wrinkled his anxious face, "But...but..."
Yue Qing in the front lowered his voice to talk to Yue Qiong. Huo Huaixin and Yan Chi took a step behind when they saw it. Huo Huaixin, who was walking behind, glanced at Yan Chi. Seeing that Yan Chi seemed to be in a good mood, he was sure of it in his heart. It is guessed that Yan Chi will definitely go back to the capital. If Qin Wan stays in Jinzhou, it will be difficult to see each other often in the future. Now that Qin Wan is going back to the capital, the relationship between the two of them will be very cheap, and the corners of Huo Huaixin's lips are slightly Luckily, he caught Yan Chi's mind in time and didn't let Huo Ning mess around.
"I didn't expect Nine Girls to be taken back. Although Nine Girls are currently under the care of the Marquis Mansion in Jinzhou, the Qin Mansion in Jinzhou is notorious right now. Nine Girls will inevitably be affected if they stay here."
Huo Huaixin knew what Yan Chi was thinking, and it would be much easier to say something that catered to Yan Chi's thoughts. Sure enough, Yan Chi nodded slightly as soon as the words came out, and Huo Huaixin continued, "Speaking of which, Miss Nine helped us a lot this time. , Your Highness must also know about Nine Girls' temperament and behavior, and after His Highness returns to the capital, please take care of Nine Girls one or two."
The corners of Yan Chi's lips were slightly loose, and there seemed to be a shallow smile on his face, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhifu, this is what it should be."
Huo Huaixin then laughed, "Speaking of which, Miss Nine is going to leave, I really don't want her to leave, she has helped a lot, and the official even said that she would have a banquet, but she will leave in a few days, I'm afraid I don't have time Then go to the banquet, and when I return from the official position later, I will ask Jiannei to prepare some food for Nine Girls to bring, on the way north, the weather is so cold that it is really worrying."
As soon as these words came out, Yan Chi's complexion became a little better, but his faint eyes kept falling on Yue Qing's back in front of him. Looking from his direction, Yue Qing had been talking to Yue Qiong, no need Guessing that Yan Chi also knew that Yue Qing must also be worried about Qin Wan, and he understood his worry even more, Yan Chi suddenly narrowed his eyes.
Yue Qing is young, righteous and heroic, and also has a youthful spirit. Yan Chi looked at his anxious look, and he was afraid that he would suddenly muster up the courage to plead with the Taichang Princess. If the Taichang Princess speaks first, He lost the opportunity.
Thinking of this, Yan Chi suddenly said, "Ninth Miss is kind and kind, not only has the magistrate cared about her, but also made the Houye family treat her as one of her own. You see, the second son is so anxious, I don't know how the Taichang princess is worried. .”
Huo Huaixin looked over and saw that Yue Qiong and his son had been saying that he knew Qin Wan's status in the hearts of the Yue family, but he understood it very well, and hurriedly echoed, "Exactly, Princess Taichang loves Miss Jiu very much, and Madam also loves Miss Jiu. The girl loves her a lot, now that Miss Nine wants to go to the capital in such a desperate way, they must be worried, but all the people from the Zhongyonghou Mansion have come, as Lord Hou said, no matter how much you care, the Hou Mansion is still a foreigner. It’s really not good to intervene.”
Yan Chi narrowed his eyes for a moment, "Actually, it's not impossible."
Upon hearing this, Huo Huaixin's eyes lit up immediately, "Is there a way, Your Highness?"
Yan Chi raised his chin, although his tone was still indifferent and kind, but the gaze he looked at Yue Qing's back was a bit cool, he was silent, and he said in a low voice, "Nine girls will return to the capital sooner or later, she is worrying The best part is that she has nothing to rely on."
Huo Huaixin said anxiously, "Then... what does Your Highness mean?"
The corners of Yan Chi's lips twitched slightly, "Princess Taichang and his wife like Jiu Miss so much, and the princess also loves Jiu Miss as sisters, since that's the case, why not make this relationship closer, so that the Hou Mansion will also have trouble with Jiu Miss in the future power over things."
Huo Huaixin looked at Yan Chi in a daze for a moment, "Your Highness means...means to ask Lord Hou and his wife to accept Nine Girls..."
Yan Chi nodded, and looked at Huo Huaixin again, "But this matter requires a witness. After all, I am young, and my seniority is a generation behind Mrs. Hou Ye. In my opinion, only the magistrate is suitable."
Huo Huaixin's eyes flashed brightly, "I'm... Is it suitable for me to be an official?"
Yan Chi smiled brightly, "Prefect Huo is the parent official of Jinzhou, and he has known Mrs. Hou Ye for many years, and he also knows the situation of Qin Mansion very well. It can be said that it is very suitable. must."
Huo Huaixin's breathing tightened immediately, he knew, he knew what Yan Chi meant, if what Yan Chi said really came true, then his weight in the hearts of Hou Fu and Qin Wan would be even heavier!
"Okay, then this afternoon... I will tell Lord Hou later—"
Huo Huaixin figured out what Yan Chi meant, and his mood immediately became excited. He wanted to say that he would find time to talk to Yue Qiong in the afternoon, but he thought of Qin Wan's leaving soon, so he naturally didn't intend to waste any more time.
After speaking, Huo Huaixin raised his eyes and looked at Yue Qiong. After talking for so long, Yue Qiong and Yue Qing seemed to have finished talking. He walked towards Yue Qiong and Yue Qing with a quick pace. Huo Huaixin knew this very well. Princess Taichang and the Jiang family needed to discuss it together, and before it was confirmed, he could only speak with Yue Qiong alone, so he waited until he was alone with Yue Qiong before speaking.
Bystanders saw the two of them standing outside the dining hall and whispering something, but no one knew exactly what they said, and at this moment, not far away, Qin Wan walked slowly with the help of Princess Taichang come over-
When the Taichang Princess stood still, Qin Wan immediately stepped forward to salute Yue Qiong and the others. Yue Qiong looked at Qin Wan with a complicated expression for a few moments, and when he saw that the meal was not ready, he suddenly walked over to support the Taichang Princess, "Mother , my son will walk with you again."
Princess Taichang is so thoughtful, upon hearing this, she knew that Yue Qiong had something to say, she nodded immediately, "Ning'er, take Wan girl in for a rest, Xiao Qi and Qing'er will accompany Huo Zhifu."
Huo Huaixin repeatedly apologized, and Yue Qiong helped the Taichang Princess to the east corridor.
Seeing this, Yue Qing and Yue Ning thought that Yue Qiong was going to discuss with Princess Taichang how to arrange for Qin Wan to go to Beijing, so they didn't care. Yue Ning looked at Yan Chi on the side, and took Qin Wan's hand into the small hall on the side .
On this side, Jiang came over with the servants from the kitchen carrying the lunch dishes. From a distance, he saw Yue Qiong and Princess Taichang talking together, doubts appeared in Jiang's eyes, and he also walked away Looking over, "Mother, Lord Hou, what's the matter?"
Seeing Jiang's sudden appearance, Yue Qiong immediately waved, "Come here, I have something to discuss with you."
Jiang Shi was slightly surprised, and hurried over, "What happened?"
Yue Qiong thought for a moment, and then told Jiang Shi again what she said to Princess Taichang just now, Jiang Shi was startled for a moment, and then she was overjoyed, "Ah, why didn't I think that Master Hou is really wise—"
Yue Qiong laughed, "Brother Huo mentioned it to me and I remembered this. Our family has never acted like this before, so I didn't think of it. When Brother Huo mentioned it, I thought it was very reasonable. I didn't say anything else, just said that Nine Girls rescued me." It's worthwhile for us to break the rules at the cost of mother's life, not to mention that you like the temperament of Miss Nine, and it's the first time that Ning'er is so friendly with other girls."
Jiang Shi nodded, "Of course that's the reason. I see that the sisters Ning'er and Guan'er are doing very well. Recently, Ning'er's temperament has become much more lively and gentle. I'm finally relieved. Master Hou, if you want to do this matter, you can do it." Hurry up, Guan'er is leaving!"
Yue Qiong also nodded, "My mother and I are talking—"
Jiang's brows were filled with joy when she heard the words, but Princess Taichang looked in the direction of the side hall with dark eyes. She looked at Huo Huaixin, then at Yan Chi, and finally her eyes fell on Yue Qing, "It's just I'm afraid that Qing'er will suffer."
Having said that, Jiang's smile faltered, "Yeah, Qing'er seems to be treating Guan'er—"
Yue Qiong was slightly surprised, "Is that so? Then..."
Princess Taichang's eyes suddenly became serious, as if she had made up her mind, "Qing'er and Guan'er are not suitable, it's better to stop his thoughts earlier, so as not to mistake himself, this matter is settled like this."
Thinking of Yue Qing's hesitation, Yue Qiong said, "But mother, will Nine Girls disagree..."
The Taichang Princess snorted softly, her eyes were full of determination, "The little girl is tenacious, but I also understand that she has nothing to do with whoever treats her well. I have the final say on this matter." !"
As she spoke, Princess Taichang raised her jaw, "Go, sit down and talk."
When the words fell, Princess Taichang went to the side hall first. When she reached the front of the hall, she saw that the desks were already full. Princess Taichang went to sit at the main seat. Sighing, he glanced at Yue Qing, and beckoned the others to sit down. Qin Wan still sat on the left hand side of Princess Taichang.
As soon as everyone was seated, Princess Taichang said in a solemn voice, "There is one thing that Qiong'er, Jing Shu and I just decided on."
As soon as these words came out, except for Yan Chi and Huo Huaixin, everyone else was curious.
The Princess Taichang looked at Qin Wan and said, "I want Qiong'er and Jing Shu to adopt Wan girl as a righteous daughter. From now on, she will be my own granddaughter, and the sister of Ning'er's three brothers and sisters. It is the same inheritance with our Hou Mansion."
