Qin Xiaoyan was surprised, but also felt ashamed and slowed down his tone, "That's it, why didn't King Lu even mention it to us, and Yin Yin..."
"Isn't that what the emperor meant?" the young man shrugged and said casually.
With just this sentence, Qin Xiaoyan was instantly enlightened and understood what Emperor Cheng De meant.
He smiled understandingly, stopped continuing the topic, and solemnly thanked the boy.
Wei Zhuling smiled wildly and secretly glanced at the little girl's peach blossom eyes, which were full of spring. The straight look in his eyes was very confusing, and the polite words in his mouth were justified, "Isn't this what it should be?"
Although the words were good, they sounded awkward to Qin Xiaoyan, his elder brother.
He was so awkward that a thought popped into his head - he had already finished thanking him, could he beat him up? The thank you gift should be made up for later.
Wei Zhuling suddenly felt a chill next to him, and turned to face Qin Xiaoyan's sharp eyes, which looked a bit like his second brother's.
The boy laughed dryly.
Just then reinforcements arrived, "General, someone from outside the tent said there is news about Hu Wanting, the leader of the rebels."
Wei Zhuling was being stared at by the prince's sudden sharp gaze, and his whole body was hairy. He quickly took the opportunity to apply oil on the soles of his feet, smiled and said,
"Let's take a break. The traitor in the Duke's Mansion has been captured and confessed. Nothing should happen to your Mansion. It's just that today Wei San is in the capital to arrest people involved in imperial examination fraud. The city gate has been closed. Wait until the city gate opens again. At that time, I will order someone to escort you back to the city."
When Qin Xiaoyan heard that nothing was wrong with him, he didn't continue to pursue the man's crime just now. He just ignored it and thanked him again.
The kind of smile that hides its edge.
Wei Zhuling knew that this person was not easy to fool, so his last peek was blocked by him moving sideways, so he had no choice but to run away angrily.
"Who?"
"Back to the general, we didn't see anyone in the carriage. He seemed to be a mute. After he came, he just handed over a piece of paper. If he didn't agree with him, he patted the carriage and asked the driver to turn around and go back. Brother Liang heard him patting twice and said There is only one person inside, he must be thin, he doesn’t look like someone who knows martial arts, and he must not be deceitful.”
"Oh, you pretender, let him in. I want to see what kind of monster he is."
…
In the room, Old Mrs. Qin listened to the sound that was gradually fading away. She closed her eyes and twirled the beads in her hand, twirling them, and suddenly said, "Xuan Yi, did you forget to return the dragon-patterned jade just now?"
Qin Xuanyi was stunned when asked, and said in a low voice, "...No, she's still here with me."
"Hurry up and return it. This is not an ordinary jade pendant. Just take it." The old lady urged with a serious face.
"...Oh, okay." Qin Xuanyi looked at her grandmother's serious look and quickly got up and chased Yuedie out.
Qin Xiaoyan stood at the door and was about to follow, but was called back by the Duke's wife.
"Yan'er, why are you going to join in the fun?"
Qin Xiaoyan was stunned when he heard this and looked at his mother in confusion.
The Duke's wife ignored him and turned to look at her daughter.
The little girl walked all the way out. There were not many people in the village. The general's office where Wei Zhuling worked was right next door. It could be seen through a short fence. It was actually very safe.
When the Duke's wife saw that her daughter had gone to the next door safely, she also looked away. She could no longer restrain her smile, covered her lips and shook her head.
Next to her, Mrs. Qin also smiled and shook her head helplessly, "It's unspeakable that women are lazy. This girl is starting to get confused."
The Duke's wife said, "If she is confused, let her do it. It happened once and her heart ached, and she finally woke up. It would be best if she could live without pain for the rest of her life."
Only then did Qin Xiaoyan understand what her mother meant, and asked in surprise, "Mom, that kid is very messy. He is so unscrupulous in front of us. How could you let Yi Mei..."
"You brat, what do you know?" Madam the Duke cast a sidelong glance at him, "You haven't met the one you like yet. Do you think your father -"
The Duke's wife almost let it slip. Under her son's astonished eyes, she coughed lightly and started talking about him again, "Tell me about you. You will be twenty-two next year, and your sister has reached the age to discuss marriage." , you’re not in a hurry!”
When Qin Xiaoyan heard this, he knew that this was not a place where he could stay any longer. He quickly made an excuse that the boy was back with the medicine jar and ran out as if he was running away.
The Duke's wife was so angry that she covered her head and felt sad.
Mrs. Qin asked, "Last time I asked you to ask the little girl from the Fu family if you can marry her. Have you asked?"
"I asked my mother, but the Fu family refused to let go. Later, I was interrupted when Jing Qing wandered off. I will ask again when I get back."
"Ask me again. If it drags on any longer, Dong Palace will have to think of Yan'er Shang Diji again, and then it will be another troublesome matter!"
"Yes, mother said yes! We can't delay it any longer!"
…
Next door, two playful little babies without adult supervision have climbed up the low fence, swaying their short legs and blinking their bright eyes, watching the show from the front row——
The carriage stopped in the courtyard of the general's residence, the curtains of the carriage were opened, and the fragrance greeted them.
The girl stepped out of the car, her head was decorated with beautiful jade, she was arrogant and gorgeous, her exquisite makeup was dazzling on the peony dimples, her charming eyes were full of silk, and her red lips were smiling charmingly, which made her soul enchanting.
"The mention of beauties in the capital is nothing more than me and the daughter of the Qin family. The daughter of Qin is known for her coldness and looks down on everything because of her superior family background. I am different. My name is Xiangrao, and I am the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Fengning. Sir, who is more beautiful, the slave or the Qin girl?"
Hu Xiangrao's waist is slender, her steps are graceful, and she looks at the handsome young man in front of her with eyes full of charm, and her smile becomes more charming and bright. (End of chapter)
