"No!" Wei Qinglin suddenly raised his head, with a hint of panic in his determined eyes.
Wen Qingzhu had a clear view of her expression, but why was Wei Qinglin flustered, or rather scared.
Is she afraid of Jiang Yuanhan
After a long silence, Wen Qingzhu finally told her: "I have no objection to your liking Mingxuan. If Mingxuan also likes you, even if the Wei family insists on sending you to the palace, I will stop you."
"Really!?" Wei Qinglin grabbed her sleeve excitedly, his eyes were shining, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
Seeing how happy she was, Wen Qingzhu also laughed and touched her head.
Not long after, Wen Mingxuan came back, and Wen Qingzhu handed Linlin directly to him.
As for what he wanted to ask, Wen Qingzhu didn't give him a chance to speak at all. He turned to look at the west courtyard and walked away: "I'm going to see Ming Liang and Qing Xin."
When they arrived at the house, the brother and sister were chatting. Wen Qingxin couldn't help wiping her tears as she didn't know what they were talking about.
Seeing Wen Qingzhu coming, the two people stopped immediately.
Wen Qingzhu walked over and said to them: "If Qingxin is worried about Huixin, you can go back to Fengguo Temple first. I will take Mingliang into the palace tomorrow."
"Why are you taking me into the palace?" Wen Mingliang felt a little strange. Couldn't he just be sent to the Medicine God Valley directly
Wen Qingzhu now knew Wen Mingliang's temperament and decided not to hide it from him: "Actually, I wanted to leave, but Huixin advised me not to leave. But now that you are like this, I decided to send you Medicine God Valley in person. There are some things that need to be verified."
"Are you really going to leave?!" Wen Qingxin began to get nervous. Although she didn't have the dream spirit, she could vaguely feel how things would develop.
Wen Mingliang also noticed clues from Wen Qingxin's expression, and suggested: "You can just send someone to take me there. If that doesn't work, tell me how to get there and I will go there myself."
Wen Qingzhu shook his head: "Mingliang, the reason why I told you is to use you as an excuse. If something really happens here in the capital, I will rush back."
The remaining two people were silent, they understood what Wen Qingzhu meant.
So I can only agree.
The sky was getting dark and Wen Qingzhu had just finished his meal when Xi'er came in and said, "Miss, Mr. Hu wants to see you."
Wen Qingzhu raised the corner of his mouth and pointed to the front hall: "Take me there."
Arriving at the front hall, Wen Qingzhu saw Hu Yingzhuo's humble expression as soon as he stepped in.
As soon as he saw someone coming, he quickly stepped forward and bowed to apologize: "It's all because of the poor stewardship of the official, which has caused trouble to the madam. Madam, don't worry, the official has sent someone to escort Ruoxin back home, and we will get married on another day. "
Wen Qingzhu asked him to sit down: "Master Hu, there is no need to apologize. This is all the fault of the juniors. You elders just missed it."
How could Hu Yingzhuo dare to sit down? His back arched even deeper: "I'm sorry, madam, but this will never happen next time!"
"Master Hu, do you really want to be so polite? I treat things right and people the same way. As long as you are not involved, how can I blame you!"
He didn't sit down, but Wen Qingzhu was a little tired, so he sat on the main seat.
Hu Yingzhuo felt slightly relieved and raised his head: "Thank you, madam, for understanding everything."
"Master Hu, please sit down. I happen to have something to discuss with Master Hu." Wen Qingzhu asked him to sit down again, his eyes firm.
Hu Yingzhuo took a look and finally swallowed his polite refusal.
After a while, Lu Tao brought refreshments and left immediately after setting them up.
In the huge hall, the lights swayed slightly, illuminating the entire hall.
Wen Qingzhu said straight to the point: "I admire Master Hu very much. He is a person who can see the situation clearly. Now the prince is in a difficult situation and needs help. Once I leave the capital in a few days, I hope that you will take care of him secretly."
"Madam!" Hu Yingzhuo stood up, feeling very frightened.
Wen Qingzhu tilted his head and smiled: "Although you are just a doctor in the household department, you are a practical person. Your Lord He, the minister in the household department, is also a capable and ambitious person, but I don't trust him."
Hearing her unabashed judgment of the court ministers, Hu Yingzhuo thought of the recent impeachment of Wen Qingzhu when he went to court, and his whole heart was hanging on the cliff.
He swallowed his saliva and said dryly: "Madam, I'm a low-ranking official, but now there are Lord Wei Ziying and Lord Lei Xiao in the capital. With ministers like this, I really don't need a low-ranking official."
Hu Yingzhuo didn't know that if he agreed, he might be rich and wealthy in the future.
It's just that he knows very well that being rich and powerful is not easy to come by.
The Lei family has always been neutral and not involved in party disputes, but now they are still forced to get involved.
The Hu family didn't have any talented people. It took several generations of careful management to reach its current status. He didn't dare to take risks.
So he knelt down and said, "Madam, I really don't dare to lower my rank."
Wen Qingzhu didn't force him, he just said quietly: "I know you don't dare, so I found someone."
Hu Yingzhuo didn't understand even more and raised his head again to ask for advice.
"I don't dare to teach you." Wen Qingzhu shook his head, "Master Hu is a smart man, but he doesn't have the arrogance of a smart man. That's why we are here today. I'm not afraid to tell you that Master He is not the prince, let alone Pei Yu, so I What you have to do is very simple, once he wants to add fuel to the flames, you can just fish in the troubled waters and mess up the situation so that Wei Ziying and the others can have a chance, do you understand?"
Hu Yingzhuo is now one head and two big, this is indeed not a difficult task.
But it is too difficult to leave no trace.
He raised his head and glanced at Wen Qingzhu, fearing that he wouldn't agree to her and couldn't leave Pingguohou Mansion today.
But after agreeing, he was afraid that he would drag the Hu family into trouble.
In the entire Hu family, there were few people who could worry about it, and Hu Yingzhuo was struggling in his heart.
Time passed slowly, Wen Qingzhu was not in a hurry and waited quietly.
However, Hu Yingzhuo's knees were a little sore from kneeling for too long, and his body began to shake.
Lu Tao from behind the curtain came in and helped Hu Yingzhuo up.
He wanted to be polite, but his body swayed unsatisfactorily, so he could only stand up and sit down.
Lu Tao brought two more hot water bottles and tied them to Hu Yingzhuo's knees before retreating.
Hu Yingzhuo was still feeling very uncomfortable at first, but the pain in his knees gradually subsided and his heart calmed down.
Start thinking about this matter carefully.
In fact, for Wen Qingzhu, it was not that he was incompetent, but what Wen Qingzhu wanted was his caution.
Finally, the pull behind him reached the bottom, and Hu Yingzhuo stood up: "I am willing to follow my wife."
Wen Qingzhu corrected with a smile: "You are not following me, you are following the prince. You are doing a good job. Although you are not as meticulous as an adult, you always think about the people. When the time comes, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue can only be yours."
"Madam, you are overly complimentary." Hu Yingzhuo lowered his head and felt a surge in his heart.
Wen Qingzhu said it so lightly, could she still interfere in the appointment and dismissal of officials
The matter had been settled, and Wen Qingzhu didn't want to keep him much longer, so he accepted his apology and let him go.
Back in the main courtyard, Wen Qingzhu was lying in the tub, with Lu Tao massaging her back.
After pressing and pressing, Wen Qingzhu actually fell asleep.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already dawn.
She asked Lu Tao to take out Madam Gaoming's court clothes, dress herself up, and go to the main room.
Seeing that Wen Mingliang was already in the room, Wen Qingxin was not there, and there was a familiar inkstone washer.
"I've met Madam." Xi Yan looked a little nervous, and his face was a lot rougher, but he looked pretty good.
Wen Mingliang explained: "I made a mistake with Xi Yan in the Yang family earlier. The second room of the Yang family wanted to sell him. I made the decision in advance to let him out. I was working on the farm while writing letters to people. Xin'er went to Xin'er early this morning. Got him back."
"It's good to come back. After all, it's an old man by your side, so you can rest assured." Wen Qingzhu nodded and turned to greet him to start eating.
They ate quickly and were out the door in less than two quarters of an hour.
All the way into the palace, I met the Pei family's carriage at the gate of the palace.
According to Jiang Yuanhan's instructions, Wen Qingzhu's carriage could drive straight in, but what happened at the palace gate and Pei Zhixuan's voice suddenly appeared outside forced her to stop the carriage.
He opened the curtain and saw that there was not only Pei Zhixuan standing outside the car, but also another very pretty little girl.
She looked to be no more than twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a light blue dress, with silver jewelry on her head and neck, and no other jewelry.
At first glance, there are two similarities with Zhao'er.
Wen Qingzhu immediately laughed: "Miss Pei."
Pei Zhixuan said with some confusion: "Aren't you going to get out of the car?"
"No, if the prince says it's me, you can go in directly." Wen Qingzhu explained with a smile.
Pei Zhixuan looked as usual, even with a hint of apology on her face: "Then I'm really sorry for calling Madam so hastily."
"It's okay, I'll leave first." Wen Qingzhu put down the curtain, and the smile on his face slowly dissipated.
Wen Mingliang, who was sitting inside, asked thoughtfully: "Is that the granddaughter Pei Zhixuan who is the most valued by Prime Minister Pei just now?"
"Well, you probably didn't see her just now, right?" Wen Qingzhu was a little surprised why Wen Mingliang asked about this.
He pondered for a long time, and then slowly said: "Didn't I often go to Fengguo Temple to see Xin'er before? I have met her several times. She is as old as the seventh sister, why is she not married yet?"
"Oh? How many times did you meet her at Fengguo Temple?" Wen Qingzhu felt that things were a bit interesting.
What was Pei Zhixuan doing at Fengguo Temple
Wen Mingliang replied: "One time I was calculating her own marriage. I knocked it and kept it nearby to calculate the core."
"Then who is she looking for?" Wen Qingzhu became curious. It was normal for Pei Zhixuan to let go of Su Huo calmly.
But she actually took the initiative to calculate her own marriage.
Wen Mingliang recalled: "I was looking for the marriage master in the temple, but she found an old man who was leaning against a tree and drinking, and he looked very respectful."
"Wait! When did she calculate her marriage?" Wen Qingzhu knew very well that Pei Zhixuan was a person that ordinary people could not catch her eye.
After a moment of silence, he replied: "On the third day after King Ning's army entered the palace."
"Isn't that just last month?"
Wen Qingzhu still wanted to ask, but the carriage stopped and Xiao Fangzi's voice came from outside.
"Madam, the prince is waiting for you inside."
After getting off the carriage, Wen Qingzhu asked Xi Yan to carry Wen Mingliang off his back, then turned around and went under the carriage to disassemble the wheelchair.
After quick assembly, Wen Mingliang sat in a wheelchair.
Wen Qingzhu then said to the stunned Xiao Fangzi, "Let's go."
When they arrived at the palace, Wen Qingzhu was surprised that Fu Yu was there, and beside him stood a pretty girl of thirteen or fourteen years old in brocade clothes.
