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

Xiaobao: "..."

When she and her brother talked, they never agreed on anything.

Yuan Qing looked at the faces of the two children. A piece of information flashed through her mind quickly, but then disappeared.

The house in the neighboring yard was built by Aunt Fu when she married her son.

However, only one year after their marriage, the couple was forced to leave their hometown, leaving their child behind, and they have not returned yet.

There were big red wedding characters everywhere in the room, which made Yuan Qing feel like she was already married.

With her current status, getting married is probably something she can only dream about.

Just as I spread out the big red wedding quilt, I saw the little guard standing on the ground in a daze.

"Why don't you make your own bedding?"

Yuan Yi looked at the floor paved with blue bricks, then at the warm kang with a cotton mattress, and said hesitantly, "Can I not sleep on the floor tonight?"

Yuan Qing climbed to the edge of the kang and took a look.

She forgot that this was a farmhouse and there was no soft couch on the ground.

It's not summer yet, and the cold is unbearable even if you stand on the ground, let alone fall asleep.

But Aunt Fu only gave them a quilt, which was not enough for two people to share.

It should be fine for one night.

She took out half of the quilt that had been spread out and moved it inside, "Come up."

Yuan Yi quickly took off his shoes and coat and carefully squeezed into the empty space.

The two of them lay down together.

Then keep your eyes open and wait for the other person to speak first.

Yuan Qing's mind was full of plans for tomorrow, while Yuan Yi had forgotten everything he had thought of before because of his wandering thoughts.

"Tell me your solution first." Yuan Qing spoke first.

"……Fell asleep?"

Yuan Qing got up and moved closer to the little guard's face to take a closer look.

Yuan Yi turned his face away and said, "I'm not asleep. I'm just thinking about something."

"Yeah." Yuan Qing lay back down again, "Then tell me."

“Since Ah Qing wants to use the second method, then the beauty is the key to the plan.

There were a few women among the secret guards previously deployed, but they were not in Pingjin Mansion at all, and it would take two days to transfer them over.

Therefore, it can only be done by..."

"I'll go." Yuan Qing took over.

Since there are no people of his own available and he is not confident in others, Yuan Qing has to go himself.

Although Yuan Yi also thought so, no one could guarantee that tomorrow's plan would be foolproof. If...

Yuan Qing knew what he was worried about, so he comforted him, "Didn't you arrange for someone to follow me?"

I heard that the person arranged was an old acquaintance of Huo Zhengyang. With him around, Yuan Qing would have enough time to investigate the Huo Mansion.

……

Huo Zhengyang hosted a grand banquet for his guests in his own mansion.

Although everyone didn't know why, since Mr. Huo was so generous and generous, who could not give him this face?

Yuan Qing sat down at the table with a man named Wei Lin.

Wei Lin was also a playboy like Huo Zhengyang many years ago.

Later, his family property was seized and his clansmen were killed, so he went to work for Yuan Yi and sought revenge in the future.

Yuan Qing gathered up his coat which was about to slide down his arm.

Wei Lin quietly lowered his head and said, "Don't move. This is in line with your status."

She hid back, "Does it have to be this way? Can't it be a concubine or something?"

"Which decent girl would follow her man to the Huo Mansion? Women who come here are generally very open-minded," Wei Lin explained.

Thinking about the next situation, Yuan Qing was slightly surprised, "Does it mean I have to pretend again later..."

Wei Lin hugged her in his arms again. Although they were close, their bodies were always kept at a certain distance.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to hug, but that he doesn’t dare to hug.

If he dares to hug his master today, his right arm may not even survive tonight.

Who dares to mess with Yuan Yi, that jealous guy?

“Just follow my instructions later.

Huo Zhengyang is a cunning bastard. He will do whatever it takes to get the person he likes.

So don't leave my side unless necessary, and be careful if something happens, I may not be able to protect you." Wei Lin instructed seriously.

Yuan Qing frowned and took note.

Wei Lin held her in his arms and slowly walked into the banquet hall of the Huo Mansion.

The long and thin white veil covered Yuan Qing's face, and also made it convenient for her to take in the general layout of the Huo Mansion.

The two walked into the hall. Huo Zhengyang saw them and stood up and waved, "Brother Wei, here!"

Yuan Qing half leaned in Wei Lin's arms, her figure hidden under her dress was graceful and elegant, making the male guests present jealous.

Huo Zhengyang is no exception.

Although I couldn't see her beauty, I could tell from her figure that she was definitely not an ordinary person.

Seeing that Huo Zhengyang also showed great interest, the male guests had to retract their gazes and focus their attention on the beautiful concubines beside them.

"Brother Wei, may I ask who this person is..."

Huo Zhengyang's eyes were shining. If there weren't so many people watching, he would have probably taken off the veil on Yuan Qing's head long ago.

Wei Lin introduced generously: "This is a girl I rescued outside the Great Wall. Her name is Jiao Niang."

"Nice name, nice person, but how old is she?"

Yuan Qing pretended to be shy and leaned towards Wei Lin, and replied softly: "My lord, I am already sixteen years old."

The soft words sound like an oriole.

Meiji next to him immediately understood what Huo Zhengyang meant. She took out a package from her arms and poured it into the wine glass when no one was paying attention.

Yuan Qing was always on guard and naturally noticed her movements.

Are you so impatient?

Meiji twisted her waist and walked to Yuan Qing, handed her the glass of wine, took her hand affectionately and said, "Since you are here, don't be restrained and give me some face?"

Yuan Qing happily took the wine glass.

Seeing this, Meiji smiled even more charmingly and frequently cast flirtatious glances at Wei Lin behind her.

She had long been eyeing this handsome young man, and when they took turns playing together later, she would definitely ask Master Huo to give her to the young man.

But Wei Lin could only see the person in his arms and didn't notice Meiji's eyes at all.

Just when Yuan Qing was about to drink the spiked wine, the wine glass in his hand was suddenly snatched away by someone.

A few people looked up and saw a man they didn't know.

Although he is not very good-looking, he has a strong murderous aura, as if he had just crawled out of the palace of hell.

Huo Zhengyang was surprised. He had never seen this person before?

"Excuse me..."

Huo Zhengyang was halfway through his question when Wei Lin quickly let go of his arm and stood up, pulling the strange man over and introducing him, "Master Huo, this is a good friend of mine, from the capital. I think he's here to see me."

Hearing that he was from the capital, Huo Zhengyang no longer dared to look down on him. He hurriedly asked someone to bring a chair and asked, "What's your name, brother?"

"Jia."

The man only said one simple word in a cold voice.

Not only does he look cold, but even his voice is cold.

If he had not been sure that he had never made friends with this distinguished guest, he would have thought that he had offended this Mr. Jia, which was why he looked so grumpy.

The man surnamed Jia was arranged to sit between Yuan Qing and Huo Zhengyang, just blocking Huo Zhengyang's line of sight.

Yuan Qing approached him, shrugged his nose, and then rolled his eyes.
