Childhood Sweethearts of a Family: The Delicate Girl

Chapter 112

When Lin Yuan returned to the Hou's Mansion from the Princess Mansion, she greeted Zhu Bicong, told her what she had heard at the Princess Mansion today, and then returned to Nanxi Courtyard.When Gu's mother saw her coming back, she sent an invitation card. This invitation card was sent by the Pingyang Palace.Lin Yuan was not familiar with Princess Pingyang, nor was she familiar with the ladies of the county prince's mansion, or should be said to have had little contact with them in the past, so it was a bit strange to get this invitation.

King Pingyang is the emperor's nephew, and the status of the clan is much more noble than that of ordinary officials. It is impossible for Lin Yuan, the daughter of a minister, to have much contact with members of the clan.It's just that she wondered if she might have something to do with Qi Haoran. After all, his current status is different and he is working for the second prince. It is entirely possible that Prince Pingyang might be involved.

If the second prince wanted to fight for that position for himself, it would not only be as simple as suppressing the prince, but also the support of the court ministers and the clan.In this way, the chances of success are greater, and the position can be held more securely after success.At the same time, in exchange, it is natural to give these people enough benefits after the event is completed.

Lin Yuan thought about it carefully, but still felt something was wrong.Even though they are not very familiar with the people in Pingyang Palace, they have heard of some things.King Pingyang and the crown prince are about the same age, and they grew up together with the crown prince. Princess Pingyang... If she remembers correctly, she and the crown prince should be cousins.

With such a relationship, would King Pingyang choose to support the second prince instead of the prince?
Thoughts come and go, the odds are small.Since there is such an involvement, then they and the prince are almost in solidarity in all aspects.If King Pingyang chose the path of defection, abandoning the prince and defecting to the second prince, the second prince would most likely not reuse King Pingyang.

Because it is obvious that King Pingyang can betray the prince and how impossible it is to betray the second prince, not to mention the relationship between King Pingyang and the prince.Although the second prince is not much different in age from the prince and King Pingyang, he is not close to them. From this point of view, this may be an invitation that has no good things to do.

Lin Yuan didn't dare to jump to conclusions about anything that might involve the court.She also felt that maybe she should know more about things, otherwise she would not know anything, and she might not be sure if she accidentally fell into someone else's trap.

She didn't interfere much with Qi Haoran's affairs before. Usually, Qi Haoran would listen to what he told her, but if the other party didn't tell her, she would basically not take the initiative to understand it. Now it seems that this is completely unworkable.

After Qi Haoran returned home, Lin Yuan told Qi Haoran about the invitation and also expressed her thoughts to Qi Haoran.Lin Yuan talked for a long time before realizing that Qi Haoran was listening carefully at first, but then he just looked at her leisurely, and he didn't seem to care much about the whole text.

Lin Yuan hasn't finished what she wants to say, but with Qi Haoran's appearance, she really has no way to continue.After all, she was unhappy that Qi Haoran didn't listen carefully to her words, so Lin Yuan simply closed her mouth and ignored her, holding the teacup and slowly drinking the sweet-scented osmanthus tea brewed with osmanthus honey that she brewed herself.

Qi Haoran saw Lin Yuan's unhappy expression from talking with gusto before to now with her mouth closed, and for some reason, she remembered the kitten with macula and white body that she saw at a friend's house at the border.

My friend is obviously a big man with a strong physique, but he just likes to tease the kitten. He often makes the kitten go crazy... Well, although Lin Yuan's appearance is not that far, it is indeed very similar.

So Qi Haoran stretched out his hand, not at all unhappy, but rubbed Lin Yuan's hair with a smile.

"Why don't you talk? I'm listening."

Then Lin Yuan...

"Oh."

Reluctant to continue talking.

During this period, Qi Haoran either rubbed Lin Yuan's hair or pinched her face, or played with her fingers, only scratching his chin!
"I think..." Lin Yuan finally finished speaking, Qi Haoran was still playing with her fingers, she couldn't help but spoke again weakly, "Brother Qi, you seem to be playing with some small animal?"

Qi Haoran put down Lin Yuan's finger decisively, stretched his "magic claw" towards Lin Yuan's chin, scratched it successfully, and asked Lin Yuan, "Is this more similar?"

Lin Yuan: "..."

It is indeed more like it!

"If you don't want to hear it, I'll just not talk to you in the future!" Lin Yuan complained silently, pushing Qi Haoran's hand away.

So Qi Haoran said with a smile while thinking, "Sure enough, it's blown up." I didn't want to hear it, and I didn't want to hear it. Originally, I thought it would be better not to involve you in these things. Since you are not idle, you are not afraid of causing trouble. , I just want to let you know more about things. After two days, I will take you to meet someone."

Lin Yuan couldn't help pouting her mouth to express her dissatisfaction, Qi Haoran continued, "I will send Yanyan and Mingxing to talk to you about anything in the future. If you want to know anything, just shout They came to ask questions. They are all people who have been with me all the time, and most of them know what you want to know. If they don’t know, then just wait and ask me.”

It wasn't that she really wanted to get angry with Qi Haoran, so Lin Yuan soon lost her dissatisfaction and said "yes".Qi Haoran smiled and pecked her lips, and said, "Can someone pass on the dinner? After talking to you for a long time, I'm so hungry."

"Obviously I was the one talking, but you were the one who complained that you were tired first. Anyway, since you have been out all day working hard to earn money, I just forced them to bring you dinner." Lin Yuan stood up with a smile I went outside to order, thinking that I still had to go to Pingyang Palace, but I had to be more careful.

Thinking about it this way, I feel that it is not much better than entering the palace.

The next day, thinking that it would be unnecessary to call Ming Yan and Ming Xing together, Lin Yuan told Bi Yi that if both Ming Yan and Ming Xing were there, only one person should be called, otherwise it would be someone who called who come over.Unexpectedly, Bi Yi went, and when she came back, both Ming Yan and Ming Xing came.

Lin Yuan sat on the porch to meet the two of them. Except for Biyi and Bisha, the other maids were pushed back and stood in the distance.Lin Yuan had also seen Ming Yan and Ming Xing, Qi Haoran's capable servants, before. Both of them were tall and big, and they looked like martial arts practitioners.Qi Haoran is always with him, and he must be alert, otherwise it will delay the matter.

"sit down."

After Ming Yan and Ming Xing said hello to Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan nodded for them to sit down, and then ordered the servant girl to bring tea.After hearing what Mingyan and Mingxing said, Lin Yuan realized that it was Qi Haoran who ordered the two of them. If she sent someone to look for them in the study, they would come and kowtow to her together.

"I called you over because I wanted to ask you something. If you know something, just say it. If you don't know it, then you don't know it. It's okay." Lin Yuan didn't smile at Ming Yan and Ming Xing, but put on airs and said There is also the demeanor of a young lady.It's just that for Ming Yan and Ming Xing who have followed Qi Haoran into and out of the battlefield, this can't scare them after all.

Fortunately, they respected this young lady very much, and they didn't show any arrogance or contempt just because they were capable people around Qi Haoran, they all showed respect.They didn't sit down, they just stood and said, "Young Madam, if you have any orders, you should do your best."

Ming Yan and Ming Xing received Qi Haoran's orders earlier, and they also knew that their young wife probably wanted to know something about the court, so they were already mentally prepared.He only waited for Lin Yuan to ask a question, and then told Lin Yuan everything he knew.Precisely because they are people who are by Qi Haoran's side, and they also know that their young wives have different meanings to their young masters, they respect Qi Haoran, and naturally they also respect Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan raised her eyes and glanced at the two of them, seeming to hesitate, and then asked the first question——

"Did the uncle ever have any pets?"

Ming Yan and Ming Xing, who were eagerly waiting for Lin Yuan's question, both said, "..."

There seems to be something wrong with this question...

"Never." Mingyan came to his senses first, and replied immediately.

Lin Yuan murmured to herself that she didn't treat her like yesterday, and then asked about serious matters.

When Ming Yan and Ming Xing heard that Lin Yuan's second question was finally on the right track and did not develop in a strange direction, they immediately felt a sense of relief. They almost thought for a moment that the young lady would be next When the young master was at the border, did many people like this question!
Lin Yuan listened to Mingyan and Mingxing answering her questions one after another, and then felt that these two young men were really good.They know many things in detail, and treat her as a young lady with respect. Whatever she asks, they will often extend it based on this question.Many things involved will be explained together.

It's just that Lin Yuan knows that to be able to gain their respect is due to Qi Haoran's credit.But in fact, it is precisely because they are highly valued by Qi Haoran and her young wife is really not a powerful person, it is not impossible to disapprove of her or despise her.

From Mingyan and Mingxing, Lin Yuan successfully learned about the Pingyang Palace.There are three young masters and three young ladies under King Pingyang's knees. Among them, the eldest young master and eldest young lady are from Princess Pingyang.

The princess of Pingyang is the cousin of the crown prince, and the biological mother of the princess of Pingyang is the aunt of the crown prince, and the wives of the princes and brothers in the palace of Pingyang are now the prince's people, and the young ladies who married are all supporting the prince. portal.From this point of view, there is no doubt that this banquet is no different from the Hongmen Banquet.

It is worth mentioning that the relationship between Princess Pingyang, the eldest princess and the third princess is very good.This is conceivable. With the relationship between Princess Pingyang and the Crown Princess, the eldest princess and the third princess, the younger sisters of the two princes, probably have a good relationship with Princess Pingyang.

Hearing this, Lin Yuan remembered that when she entered the palace with her mother in the past, she was almost made things difficult by His Highness the Empress and escaped because of His Majesty's sudden appearance.If the other party has been brooding over that matter, it would make sense to do anything now.

Probably because of Her Royal Highness's noble status, the less she can tolerate someone making her unhappy.
