After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Seeing that the young guard didn't say anything, she asked again: "Why didn't you answer the question just now?"

"I'm trying to figure out how to respond."

Away from other people's sight, Yuan Yi seemed much more relaxed, and his words were not so restrained.

The young man had a broad back, and the afterglow of the sun shone on him, as if he was coated with a layer of soft golden light.

It feels great to have a son growing up in my family.

There is another one in the capital. According to An'er's appearance and status, when he grows up, won't the girls chasing him fill up most of the capital?

Her eyes slowly lit up with a smile.

Without hearing her reply, Yuan Yi gripped the reins tightly, turned slightly and glanced back, meeting Yuan Qing's smiling eyes.

He quickly turned around and continued driving.

Although I was very happy to see Aqing's smile, the more I looked at it, the more I felt that there was something wrong with it.

It's like... the look that elders give to younger people...

Then he quickly shook his head to get rid of this absurd idea.

Aqing is only a little over seventeen years old this year, how can he look like an elder?

He must have been thinking about her too much these days and had hallucinations.

Having thought enough and seen enough, Yuan Qing put away his smile and continued the previous topic, saying, "What's so difficult to answer? Just tell me what you have found and what you have seen."

The atmosphere changed and Yuan Yi was stunned for a moment.

"According to my observations over the past few days, although Huo Zhengyang doesn't have any great abilities, he is very good at playing tricks.

Moreover, he kept nearly thirty concubines in his mansion, and all the wealthy officials he associated with had the same special habits as him. "

It was almost the same as the information in her head.

I'm not afraid that he is special, I'm just afraid that he has no place to start.

If it's like an iron wall that can't be cut by a knife or penetrated by a needle, that would be a headache.

"What are this person's conditions for making friends? Have you found out?"

"I can't say for sure, but according to my inference, the requirements for making friends with him don't need to be too high. It's enough to have similar interests with him." Yuan Yi replied.

“We share similar interests…”

Yuan Qing studied these words carefully.

As everyone knows, Huo Zhengyang was a playboy in his early years. Even after he became an official, he did not change his extravagant and licentious lifestyle.

He only loved two things in his life: one was money, the other was beauty.

If you want to please him and get close to Huo Zhengyang to find evidence, you have to choose one of these two.

Either pay money or offer a beautiful woman.

They couldn't get that much money at the moment, so they could only use the second method.

As if sensing Yuan Qing's thoughts, Yuan Yi hurriedly stopped her, "Aqing is a precious body, you must not put yourself in danger!"

Even for the sake of a big plan, he would never allow anyone to touch her.

Yuan Qing glanced at him.

Is she the kind of person who devotes herself to the mission?

If she is not the person you accept from the bottom of your heart, how can others get close to her?

"Don't worry about that. I have a plan. Let's find an inconspicuous place to stay tonight. I'll talk to you about the specific plan later."

Since we are in the countryside, we can only find a farmer's house to stay at.

They did not go to the village where Xiaoyun originally lived, but found another farming area closer to the city.

The farmers here generally have a high quality of life, but even in such a wealthy village, there are not many green areas.

This shows how serious this drought is.

Putting aside the mission and the merit, just for the sake of the people of Pingjin Prefecture, she must help Shang Ming to overcome this disaster.

Although the book only briefly explains the cause of the tragedy in a few sentences, in her eyes now, they are just living people.

What happened in the previous life cannot happen again...

Yuan Yi found a relatively well-off family, and an old man over fifty years old came out.

Yuan Qing asked kindly, "My daughter and my brother are returning to their hometown to look for relatives. It's already dark when we get here. Could you please let me and my brother rest in a room for the night?"

As she spoke, she stuffed some change into the old lady's hand as accommodation fee.

The old lady didn't care about the amount of silver. She just looked at the brother and sister with a little surprise and said, "There are houses, are you sure you only want one, little girl?"

When the old lady asked this, Yuan Qing really thought about it carefully and said, "Indeed, I only need one room. Thank you very much."

In the evening she still had to discuss tomorrow's plans with the young guard, so naturally she couldn't stay in two rooms.

The little girl was quite frank, but the young man who turned sideways had red ears.

After thinking about it, the old lady had already figured out the relationship between the two. She looked at them with an "I know" expression and led them into the house.

Although the house is not big, it has two courtyards next to each other, with flowers and plants planted in the courtyards. It is kept clean and tidy everywhere, making people feel comfortable just looking at it.

“My surname is Fu, and the yard next door is where my late son and daughter-in-law lived.

If you mind, I'll go clean up the other room.

It’s just that no one has lived here for a long time, so it will take some time.” The old lady said with a smile.

"No need, Aunt Fu. We are happy as long as we have a place to live."

It’s already hard to disturb someone so late at night, so how can I trouble an old man even more?

"Grandma, who is this?" Two little heads outside the door asked with their heads tilted.

Two little babies who looked exactly the same looked timidly at the strangers who came to their house.

Aunt Fu smiled and waved at them, "Come here, these two are..."

At this point, Aunt Fu remembered that she had not yet asked the two young men's names.

Yuan Qing followed suit and said, "My last name is Lu, and this is my brother."

"My sister's surname is Lu, so this big brother's surname is also Lu?" The little girl is braver than the little boy.

Seeing Yuan Qing take the initiative to introduce herself, she followed suit and said, "We have the same last name as grandma. My name is Xiaobao, and this is my stupid brother Dabao."

Hearing the word "idiot", the little boy was instantly unhappy and immediately retorted: "I'm not an idiot!"

The little girl ignored her brother's roar, but walked to the side, stood in front of the silent Yuan Yi, and looked at him for a long time.

Then he asked doubtfully: "Is Sister Lu's brother also a fool?"

Yuan Qing really couldn't hold it back, and the water that had just entered his mouth sprayed all over Yuan Yi.

Aunt Fu quickly took her little granddaughter into her arms and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry..."

Yuan Qing wiped the water stains from his mouth and said, "It's okay."

Realizing that he had said something wrong, Xiaobao hurried to Yuanyi, lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, big brother. Xiaobao shouldn't have said that to you."

Yuan Yi was about to shake his head when he heard her next sentence: "If you are not stupid, then why is Big Brother as quiet as my brother?"

Dabao pretended to be mysterious and stepped forward, puffing out his chest and proudly saying, "What do you know? This is called maturity. Who would scream like you every day? Childish!"
