Qin Qingdong and his subordinates hurriedly followed him out, "Sit for a while, son. Miss Baoyue hasn't even had a few sips of the new tea she served."
"Didn't you say that Guanzhou doesn't allow me to go out and hang out? Hurry up." At the same time, he asked Alu to present the silver and money. Zhu Baoyue wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Pei An's eyes.
She bowed to see the guest off, and Qin Qingdong chased after her with laughter, "Ji Zhang, now I don't quite understand you." He wanted to talk about Pei An's tolerance of Jin Fuyun, but he felt that it was not as he saw.
"I am still me."
"That's right. Let's go quickly. I won't be going back to the Qin Mansion today."
Chun Ge heard this and said, "No, my aunt said she would wait for you to watch the moon in the evening." The old aunt was lively and wanted to try every possible way to bring Qin Qingdong and Wen Si together. They cooked wine around the stove, drank tea, and watched flowers and birds several times.
But every time I just can't bring these two enemies together.
Qin Qingdong didn't want to listen to Chun Ge's crying anymore and kicked him away, "Just go back with Ji An Jirui." He actually didn't want him anymore. When Chun Ge heard this, he couldn't accept it!
He wiped away the tears that had not yet fallen and climbed onto the carriage.
Seeing the fourth young master also got on the carriage, Alu had no choice but to get on his pony and lead Feibai back. Ji Anjirui went forward to report the matter to Qin Qingdong, and Qin Er sent them back home.
"If Miss Wen Si asks...?"
"Just say that I was invited by Silang to have a candlelit night chat with him."
...Second Young Master, you are so shameless!
The carriage disappeared into the night. I asked the maids and servants to close the gate of Manyue Tower and returned to the guest room, only to see Zhu Baoyue sitting in front of the window with her hands on the musical instrument.
"My son, you'd better go to bed. You stayed up late yesterday and didn't sleep well to begin with. Go to bed early because you have to entertain guests tomorrow."
The results have not yet been announced, and many scholars and officials are still lingering in the capital.
The reputation of Manyue Tower spread far and wide, and it was packed with guests for days on end, making it difficult for everyone in Manyue Tower to cope with the guests. My mother tried to persuade him gently, but Zhu Baoyue seemed to be possessed by someone.
"girl……"
Zhu Baoyue came back to her senses, pursed her lips and said softly, "The young lady today is different from the past." The old lady leaned over and whispered, "Young lady, the young lady also handed this thing to me."
She lifted her sleeves and revealed a palm-sized gold and jade plate.
It's called a gold and jade plate, but in reality the jade is only the size of a copper plate in the center, and the outside is solid gold. Zhu Baoyue was puzzled, "Did the eldest lady give it to you personally?"
The old lady handed it to Zhu Baoyue and said, "Send the subordinate to me, the girl with the round face."
"Panlan?"
"Yes!" the old lady sighed, "I can't refuse my mother. She said she would come to find me later. I..."
Zhu Baoyue looked at the exquisite item in her hand. If it were placed outside, it would be enough for an ordinary family to eat for three to five years. She stroked it for a few times and sighed slightly, "... Miss, I hope you won't embarrass me."
The old lady sat down beside him and whispered, "The eldest girl mentioned it during the day. I thought that the young lady treats you differently now, maybe——"
"Mom, shut up!"
I swallowed my words immediately and a look of regret appeared on my face.
Zhu Baoyue knew what the old lady was thinking. She calmed herself down before calling in a few maids to get close to her. "The young lady has been very kind to me and has never looked down on me. You are following me to make a living, so be tough and don't let others provoke you into having thoughts that you shouldn't have."
It is hard to be respected by others in a lifetime for an old man like me.
Why bother climbing up the pole and ignoring the young lady's high regard for her?
The old lady sighed, "What if the fourth young master has this idea? Will the young lady also refuse such a good thing?"
This is a great blessing.
The maids and the old women heard this clearly. Zhu Baoyue sneered, "Don't have such an illusion. The Fourth Young Master is a noble man. He has been to my Full Moon Tower many times. Have you ever seen him being too intimate with me or other prostitutes? What's more -"
She lowered her voice and hid the light in her eyes, "With a fairy like the young lady, there is no room for others in his heart."
The old lady sighed, "My son, please don't be so lazy--"
"mom!"
The old lady lost her temper and said, "Son, this is also for your own good."
"I'll say it again, don't be provoked. It's not easy to live in this world. Don't lose your sense of proportion for these empty words. If you make a mistake, you might lose your life."
Zhu Baoyue reminded him again and again, and his subordinates immediately agreed.
I am unwilling to accept this and always feel that the young lady is being too cautious. In this world today, what capable man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? It doesn't mean that she must follow the Fourth Young Master into the mansion, but even if she is kept outside, it is better than living a life of selling smiles like this.
Zhu Baoyue concealed her tiredness, returned to her room and rested.
Qin Qingdong and Pei An rode in the same carriage. There was a lotus-shaped table lamp on the small table inside. As the carriage swayed, the interior of the carriage was sometimes dim and sometimes bright.
"Can you tell me more about the East Palace?"
Qin Qingdong shook his head and sighed, "It's not something that can't be said. As time goes by, the Duan family can't cover it up anymore, and it will get out sooner or later. A few days ago, my eldest sister had a miscarriage."
"…Who did this?"
Qin Qingdong chuckled, "My eldest sister is frail, and Kang'er is already this big, but she has never been pregnant. Now she is lucky enough to have a baby, but it is less than two months old. Because she accidentally ate a lot of cold food, she couldn't keep the pregnancy—"
This baby was extremely important to the Eastern Palace, the Crown Princess and even the Qin family, but it miscarried before the third month.
The prince was furious and investigated inside and outside.
The East Palace has been in a bloody storm these days, and even the emperor's harem has been involved. Qin Qingdong did not give the details, but only pointed out the result, "There are several precious medicines, which are rare in ordinary mansions. The fourth girl of the Jin family took them in and presented them to several nobles in the harem. Among them, the third princess took a lot. She found an excuse and gave them to Duan Liangyuan, saying that they were for nourishing the body, but they were mistakenly put into the eldest sister's pregnancy-preserving medicine-"
"It's a bit of a coincidence."
Pei An asked with a puzzled look, while Qin Qingdong lazily leaned on the carriage, "I told you, I picked up the important ones, and you think it's a coincidence, but it took a lot of effort to verify it."
"What does your Majesty mean?"
"Your Majesty has punished the Third Princess and her mother, and Jin Si has been dismissed from his position as a tutor and sent back home to be confined. As for Jin Fuyun, who presented so many treasures -" Qin Er's sneer disappeared in an instant, "The Queen Mother has approved her marriage with Prince Yong. I'm afraid General Jin will have to personally come to the palace to plead guilty in the near future. What else can Your Majesty do? He just swallowed his anger."
In the past, the emperor valued this late bloomer general very much, but now he is very wary of him.
The emperor and his ministers looked at each other from afar. Jin Meng disobeyed orders several times and the emperor was angry but could do nothing about it.
Dongqiao has now made a comeback, invading the border from time to time, causing friction. If His Majesty wants to give up his military power over a toast, now is not a good time.
Qin Qingdong closed his eyes and sighed, "However, Duan Liangyuan, who was on good terms with Jin Fuyun, was destroyed yesterday."
