Without mentioning it, Qiao Yuyan almost forgot that Qiao Yuning was still in charge of her backyard. She rested her head on her arm and thought for a while, "Tell her to be more peaceful. I will not break my promise to her. I just need her to wait patiently for a few more days."
moon."
Qixi was still dissatisfied with herself, "Madam, do we really have to let her go like this?"
In the yard, Pinlan and Shi Ye were talking together. I don't know what they said. Shi Ye's face showed a rare hint of annoyance, but Pinlan's face flashed a hint of amusement.
Although the expressions on the two young faces were different, the expressions on their faces were so lively. When they turned to look at Qixi Festival, although there was a bit of resentment on their faces, their faces were rosy and their brows were clear.
Qiao Yuyan sighed in her heart, this is the life she wants, where everyone around her is safe and happy.
Seeing that Qixi was still looking at her, Qiao Yuyan smiled and said, "What should I do to not let her go? Does it mean I won't let her go if I take her life?"
Qixi didn't understand what she said, so she raised her eyebrows slightly, "What do you mean, madam..."
Qiao Yuyan took her hand and said, "Based on what she did to me, I really wanted to kill her, and she was the one to blame. It's reasonable."
"Then Mrs....can't do it?"
Facing Qixi's eyes, Qiao Yuyan couldn't help but hesitate a little as she thought about the ending of their master and servant in the previous life.
After thinking for a while, Qiao Yuyan said frankly: "I don't know."
She spoke very sincerely, "Qixi, we grew up together, and no one knows me better than you. I am often indecisive, always looking forward and backward, often hesitant and soft-hearted, but Qixi, this is who I am.
I'm not prepared to take her life, partly because I promised her, and partly because I don't want to get my hands dirty for this, not to mention..."
Qiao Yuyan paused, "For someone like her, death is actually not the biggest punishment."
As she said, Qixi grew up with Qiao Yuyan, knows Qiao Yuyan best, and is most loyal to her.
At the same time, he is also the one who least conceals his emotions in front of her.
So after hearing Qiao Yuyan's words, Qixi put away her anger and asked, "What are your ideas, madam?"
"I'm going to persuade the eldest master to let Wen Liang sit down and take the exam."
"Ah?" Qixi became even more puzzled, "Why?"
From Qixi's point of view, Wen Liang and Qiao Yuning are just a couple, and they should never be complacent in their lives.
Qiao Yuyan patted her hand, "In his current state, it is impossible for him to get a good ranking in the examination. There is a high probability that he will fail. Even if he does not fail, at most he will be a fellow Jinshi.
I'm afraid that after the world is settled, the eldest master will take a step forward. At this time, it is absolutely impossible for Wen Liang to enter the Hanlin Academy, so it is better to simply find him a foreign post."
Seeing that Qixi still didn't understand, Qiao Yuyan said with a smile: "Why don't you just wait and see."
Qixi was puzzled, but she was willing to believe that her wife had a plan in mind, so she smiled and said: "Anyway, my wife is aware of this matter. What else can I say? I just serve the good wife and the master, and then wait to serve the young masters."
.”
Hearing this, Qiao Yuyan's heart skipped a beat and she suddenly became more alert, "But...is there someone you like?"
When Qixi heard this, she suddenly blushed and rolled her eyes at Qiao Yuyan, "Madam is really... a bad learner. I'm talking to you properly. What's going on?"
That's what she said, but the look on her face clearly indicated something.
It was just that the girl was so embarrassed that Qiao Yuyan stopped asking any more questions. She only called Pinlan over at night and asked a few questions, and she felt confident.
The late emperor passed away a few years ago, and according to the ritual, the Yuan Dynasty should be changed this year.
However, there was a national mourning first, and then there was the funeral of Princess Danyu. In addition, two concubines died in the harem, Princess Jiahe and the fifth prince passed away, and Princess Jinghe became a monk. All things in the palace became hectic.
Even the coronation ceremony was postponed to mid-March.
Although most people don't know how the third prince, who has disappeared for many years, suddenly returned, and they don't know how much political insider information there is behind it, but everyone has the same thing on their mind - the seventh prince!
Since the death of the fifth prince, most people both inside and outside the court have identified him as the only remaining heir. Now that the last fruit has been stolen for no reason, how can he accept it willingly?
Therefore, although the capital has always been calm, everyone's hearts are hanging on. As the agenda of the enthronement ceremony is proposed by the Ministry of Rites, the hanging thread seems to be getting tighter.
It seems that with just a slight touch, the peace in front of you will immediately fall apart.
Qiao Yuyan is no exception. Her current relationship with Wen Tingyuan is extraordinary. If the Seventh Prince comes back, Wen Tingyuan will not sit idly by and ignore him.
Probably because he saw that she was always on tenterhooks but still pretending to be calm, Wen Tingyuan couldn't hold it back and said, "He won't come."
"What?" Qiao Yuyan was sitting in front of the dressing table combing her hair. She seemed not to understand what he said for a moment.
Wen Tingyuan took the mahogany comb from her hand and shaved her hair, "Ten days ago, an uprising broke out in Runing Mansion. It was so violent that it numbered 20,000 people. General Chang, who was in front of the emperor, brought 3,000 troops to put down the uprising.
, in just two days, the opponent was beaten to the point of fleeing."
Qiao Yuyan didn't know how to say this, so when she was about to speak, she suddenly realized, "Last year was quite smooth, how was Runing Mansion..."
At this point, she stopped talking, suddenly opened her eyes wide, and met Wen Tingyuan's smiling eyes in the mirror.
"yes……"
"It's him. General Chang saw him with his own eyes. It was just that he was disguised so well that he couldn't intercept him in time. However, this contact battle also let the other party know his current strength. Now he has fled towards Anqing. I'm afraid it won't be long.
I won’t dare to go north again for a while.”
When Qiao Yuyan heard this, she gently put down the stone in her heart, but she still didn't quite understand, "If this is the case, why doesn't the palace say anything about it?"
Logically speaking, seeing that the enthronement ceremony was approaching, in order to stabilize people's hearts, even if there was no news about the seventh prince, he should directly announce his sudden death.
As long as this statement is publicized, any time the name of the Seventh Prince is mentioned in the future, it will always be to use the story to cause trouble, and it will be a famous example.
At the same time, it can also help people at this time, up and down, inside and outside, to welcome the reform of the Yuan Dynasty with peace of mind.
Wen Tingyuan gathered all her long hair, took the hairband to tie it up for her, and then said with a smile: "If not so, how could we see clearly what those people standing in the court are wearing now?
Skin?"
After saying this, Qiao Yuyan understood. After all, the current succession was different from other emperors. Before that, even most of the courtiers had forgotten that he existed.
The implementation of government affairs will inevitably be more difficult.
"I have one more thing to tell you. You can go back and tell the good news."
