My wife has a secret

Chapter 125 Oral Oral
When the door of the Nie Mansion closed, everyone was puzzled by what the housekeeper of the Nie Mansion had just said.

But this confusion was soon overshadowed by the amazing content of the poem, and after a while, the crowd's discussion turned to the content of the poem.

Yang Caiyun was not interested in romantic poems. She returned to the tea stall where her elder sister was and told her what she had just heard.

"Sister, Xu Qing seems to be a very talented young man...even Master Nie took the initiative to promote his works."

"Ah."

Yang Xianning responded and drank the last cup of water in the teapot.

She picked up the knife covered with gauze on the table and handed the dark bamboo hat beside the table to Yang Caiyun.

"A person's character cannot be seen from his talent and knowledge. There are still a few days before the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony prepared by the Queen Mother. Let's observe him for a while longer."

Yang Caiyun nodded, fully agreeing with her elder sister's suggestion.

On the northern frontier, scholars and writers often visited Huangling Pass out of patriotism, wanting to witness the war with their own eyes.

But these famous talents would be scared to pee their pants when they saw the fighting scene.

Her future husband cannot be a weakling who can only talk. The man in her mind must be a hero who is brave enough to lead an army and has great talents and strategies.

……

When Xu Qing's carriage returned to the bedroom, he saw Lianhua Jun, who had not been seen for a day, waiting at the door with two palace maids.

One of the palace maids was holding a yellow book in both hands. When she saw Xu Qing returning, she took the initiative to greet him.

"Young Master, the Queen Mother has given an order."

When Lord Lianhua saw Xu Qing preparing to kneel down to receive the decree, he stopped him with a resounding voice, saying, "Your Majesty has granted your permission. Young Master may be exempted from the kneeling ceremony when receiving the decree."

Xu Qing, who was treated with privilege, nodded and said nothing more.

"I heard that the Falun Temple in the western suburbs of the capital has been blessed with good fortune recently and has become very popular, so the Queen ordered the young master to go and investigate whether the thunder and fire and the appearance of the golden Buddha are true."

Xu Qing's expression changed slightly. He never expected that his aunt would assign him to verify a rumor.

Because according to his idea, the timing of this thing's appearance was so coincidental, shouldn't it be something made by his aunt herself?

"In order to facilitate the young master's investigation, the queen has specially ordered Chengxuanfang to obey your orders for the next seventy-four hours. The token given to you earlier also has the right to draw troops from the Five Cities Military Department and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry."

After Lianhua-Jun finished speaking, the scene was silent for a moment.

Xu Qing took a moment to react, breaking the silence and asking, "Chengxuanfang? Is it the most secretive organization in Daqi, previously led by Shen Shuangxu, specializing in intelligence work?"

There was no expression on Lianhua Jun's handsome face, but there was a meaningful flame in his clear pupils.

"Chengxuanfang is the eyes and ears of the Queen Mother. It is of utmost importance. Intelligence gathering is just one of the many affairs of Chengxuanfang. When the young master completely takes over the power of the square, he will naturally understand what Lianhua means."

Xu Qing fell into deep thought and was speechless for a moment.

Chengxuanfang was an intelligence agency managed by Shen Shuangxu for many years. After the turmoil in the capital, Empress Dowager Xu took this important power away from the other party.

Now that she's handing it over to me, besides showing trust in him, does it also mean that... the Queen Mother is ready to give up the first wife?

"May I ask, Mr. Lianhua, does my aunt have time now?"

"Your Majesty has not been feeling well recently, so please be patient and wait for a few days."

After hearing Lian Huajun's answer, Xu Qing realized that the Queen Mother still had no intention of meeting him, so he replied calmly: "Xu Qing accepts the order."

After Lian Huajun left, Qin Shuying also took the initiative to open the door and walked out with her skirt lifted. She smiled gently, and her face, which was slightly made up, was as bright and moving as the bright moon. Although she did not make any charming movements, she was still charming and could attract all of Xu Qing's attention.

"Sister Lu didn't come back with her husband?"

"Ah."

Xu Qing was not worried about Lu Wanhe's affairs. After all, Master Nie's love for Wanhe was beyond words, and she would not be wronged there.

"She is not suitable for the environment in the palace. The atmosphere in Nie's mansion may be more suitable for her."

Qin Shuying showed some resentment on her face, and said softly: "My husband really loves Sister Lu very much, unlike me, who was so casual and abducted her to the palace without any explanation, and used her as a tool for my husband's entertainment every night."

Xu Qing glanced at Qin Shuying, and a surge of anger rose in his heart.

Even a fool could see that there was a hint of cunning in the woman's watery almond eyes, and she was obviously teasing him intentionally.

"Don't play dumb. You heard what Lianhua-kun said just now."

There was no sign of Cui'er, Yangliu or other palace maids in the bedroom, and Lord Lianhua did not want too many people to know the oral instructions he brought this time.

Therefore, the palace maids in the palace were very tactful and stayed indoors, and no one dared to go into the courtyard.

Qin Shuying was different. She was a martial arts expert with sharp ears and eyes. In addition, Lord Lianhua was reading the order in front of the bedroom door, so she would definitely hear what was said.

"What is it that my husband is referring to?"

Qin Shuying's tone was indifferent, even a little frivolous.

She raised her thick eyelashes and said softly, "Do you want me to congratulate you on successfully taking over Chengxuanfang and becoming the second owner of this capital city?"

Xu Qing looked at Qin Shuying, and the doubts in his heart became reality.

"You really know Chengxuanfang."

"So this is what my husband cares about."

Qin Shuying smiled and responded, "Who among the children who grew up in the capital has not heard about Chengxuanfang?"

Xu Qing shook his head and said, "Chengxuanfang serves my aunt. The original owner was Shen Shuangxu... I just don't understand why my aunt wants me to take over Chengxuanfang to investigate a rumor full of loopholes."

Even if there are such miraculous things as martial arts and true qi in this world, Xu Qing does not think that a true Buddha will appear in the Falun Temple.

If immortals and Buddhas were still alive, the White Lotus Sect would not need to use mandalas to control the minds of its followers. They could just ask real immortals to stand on their side.

"My husband, do you want to hear my guess?"

Qin Shuying was a little surprised that Xu Qing sought her advice. She thought that she was sent to the palace to be a vase that did nothing and was not to be seen by others.

During the time she had been in the palace, the Queen Mother had never summoned her, and Lianhua Jun, who represented the Queen Mother, had never even looked at her in the eye in the palace.

Everything shows that the Queen Mother is not fond of her. Perhaps this status will only change after she gives birth to a child for Xu Qing.

"Well, weren't you very good at understanding people's minds when you were in the Exiled Immortal Tower and the Moon-Watching Tower?"

Xu Qing always felt that Qin Shuying was extremely capable. Being able to deal with so many noble men in the capital while maintaining a clean reputation required a very high level of character and ability.

Because the young masters of the aristocratic families in the capital have extremely strong backgrounds, Wangyue Tower cannot even deal with a Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, so the protection it can provide to Qin Shuying is limited.
