When standing in front of the gate of Cuihongzhuang, Ye Youqing was still somewhat on guard, after all, an anonymous note was like a trap.

It was noon at this time, the sun was a bit warm, hanging high above the head, and there was no one on the imperial street, only the locust trees covering the sky and the sun were left green.

"Big girl!" Someone shouted in the shop, and then a young man with messy hair ran over and stood in front of Ye Youqing in a few steps, "You are finally here!"

Ye Youqing nodded without saying a word, followed him into the door, and was enveloped in a shady shade, removing some of the heat from the outside world.

"Look at this." Ye Youqing handed a stack of paper full of words to the young man, "If you have no objection, then follow this."

Hearing this, the young man took the paper respectfully and put it away carefully.

"Who is waiting for me?" Ye Youqing asked.

"It's that crazy woman. She didn't wake up until yesterday. As soon as she woke up, she said she wanted to see you, but I refused, and she even threatened me." The young man said angrily, "Miss, be careful, this person is very skilled in martial arts, and his behavior is ruthless." It's very weird, and it doesn't look like a good person."

"When did you first see her?" Ye Youqing asked suddenly.

"I've seen him since I was a child. This person is always elusive. Sometimes he wanders around every day, and sometimes he doesn't see him for several months." The young man thought for a while and replied.

Ye Youqing nodded when he heard the words, then climbed up the shaky wooden stairs, stood in front of the door, and tapped with his index finger.

"Come in." Some hoarse female voices sounded, this voice is very magnetic, it sounds free and easy, lazy, and mixed with natural depression.

Ye Youqing opened the door cautiously, and the room was peaceful, with the smell of damp wood mixed with the residual aroma of wine, spreading along the walls.

The woman sat cross-legged on the couch, wearing old cloth clothes, but her face was very young. She had a tall and straight nose similar to that of a foreigner, and her eye sockets were deep-set. When she looked up at her, her eyes showed a lighter golden color than that of that day. yellow.

Ye Youqing was stunned for a moment, because the woman in front of her no longer looked like a lunatic.

"Ye Youqing." The woman read her name once, as if chewing three words, "Thank you a few days ago."

"You know me?" Ye Youqing stood still.

The woman didn't answer, she moved her eyes up and stared at Ye Youqing's bun for a while: "That willow leaf hairpin was left to you when you were young."

Hearing this, Ye Youqing stretched out his hand to touch his head a few times, and soon pulled out a long silver hairpin, the end of which was carved into the shape of a willow leaf.

Qin Xin inserted this silver hairpin for her every day, Ye Youqing thought it was just the original owner's beloved, and never cared about it.

She stared at the hairpin for a while, exerted light force with her fingers, and suddenly heard a snap, the original hairpin stick was suddenly extended, with a sharp tip, like a sharp knife.

Ye Youqing looked up suspiciously, looking at the woman up and down.

"When you were young, your body was weak. I went to Beijing with my father. Because I was a young girl, I didn't have to shy away from it. I was fortunate enough to be favored by King Sirong and I taught you for two years." The woman wrote lightly.

He weighed the willow-leaf hairpin in his hand a few times, and it seemed to be almost the same as Ci Ke's flower hairpin. Ye Youqing's mind suddenly lit up, and she suddenly understood her identity.

"Does the imperial concubine know?" Ye Youqing asked suddenly.

Hearing this, the woman raised her lowered eyes, as if she was surprised that Ye Youqing could guess her identity. After all, Ye Youqing should have been a rather dull woman in the past.

"I don't know." She answered.

Seeing Ye Youqing's questioning eyes, she suddenly sighed and said melancholy.

"You don't know what happened back then. Seven years have passed, things have changed, and now she is a noble concubine, not Zhou Ziqiu."

Half an hour later, Ye Youqing returned to the Duke's Mansion and walked slowly on the covered bridge covered by flowers.

Ye Youqing saw Shili's palpable pain when he mentioned this matter, so she kindly didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, she didn't want to have anything to do with those palace secrets.

But I still can't help but sigh for the stories I know.

"Big girl!" A clear and anxious cry suddenly sounded from the end of the covered bridge. Ye Youqing frowned, and just reached out his hand to hold Qin Xin who was about to trip over her face.

"What?" Ye Youqing asked.

"A servant came to the palace just now, saying that he is here to send invitations to the Queen Mother's birthday. All the family members in the mansion are going to go, and you are the only one missing!" Qin was sweating profusely, and grabbed Ye Youqing regardless of etiquette. sleeves, and dragged her to the front yard.

Queen Mother's birthday!Ye Youqing bit his lips while following Qin Xin, blaming himself for forgetting such an important plot.

Somebody with ulterior motives came up with an idea for the Empress Dowager to host a banquet for all the royal family and ministers in the capital, including the family members of the mansion, on the day of her 55th birthday.

On the day of the birthday banquet, everyone present had to send a gift to pray for the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager would go through them one by one and choose the most satisfying gift.

To be promoted and get rich, to be granted titles and titles, all at this time, so this is an absolute big event for the imperial relatives and relatives in the whole capital.

Finally running to the front yard, Liang Guozheng, dressed in a brown cloak, stood majestically in front of the eunuch, seeing Ye Youqing rushing towards him with his waist bent, his thick eyebrows knotted into knots, his thin lips moved, and he didn't yell at him.

Ye Youqing felt Liang Guogong's eyes full of anger, so he resisted not looking up, and stood beside Zhao Qingrou with lowered eyebrows. Zhao Qingrou moved his body to block Liang Guogong's gaze for her.

The back was finally not so scratchy, Ye Youqing raised his eyes, and met Ye Chengzhu's sarcastic eyes.

Ye Youqing came really late, the white-faced eunuch had already finished reading, and respectfully handed over the invitation to the boy beside him, and left.

Before Ye Youqing straightened up, he heard Liang Guogong's majestic and rough voice oppressing his head: "Ye Youqing, come here."

Ye Youqing has always had a bad impression of this Liang Guogong. Even in the original book, he is a typical prince and nobleman who always puts the interests of the family first.

He also didn't seem to reject the olive branch thrown by the Qin family, otherwise he would never have chosen to marry his daughter-in-law into the residence of a third-rank military general, and after marriage he would have ignored the original owner and allowed the original owner to suffer.

After comforting Zhao Qingrou in a low voice, Ye Youqing followed him to the lobby of the front hall. The door opened, and a figure from the back that she was already very familiar with appeared.

Qin Wang?Ye Youqing felt disgusted in his heart, and raised his eyes to look at Liang Guogong.

"What do you mean?" Ye Youqing asked, his brown eyes slightly narrowed.

"Little General Qin came here today to discuss affairs with China." Liang Guogong said harshly, "The reason why I called you here is because the two of you still have a marriage contract."

"Little General Qin lied about his birthday, so you forgot?" Ye Youqing looked directly at him and asked.

"Presumptuous." Liang Guogong's beard trembled slightly, obviously angered by Ye Youqing's rudeness, he wanted to say something more, when he suddenly heard footsteps approaching.

Qin Wang appeared next to the two of them. He was still dressed in black and looked very handsome. He bent down and saluted Liang Guogong, and said with a smile, "Guogong, I'm sorry, I have some private matters to talk to the eldest girl. Look... ..."

Liang Guogong stared at Ye Youqing for a while, his eyes were like a jack-of-all-trades, and he was so overwhelmed that he couldn't breathe.

Before Ye Youqing breathed a sigh of relief, she felt a big warm palm covering her arm, and she immediately shook her hand violently like an electric shock, pushing Qin Wang half a foot away.

"I won't marry you, don't waste your efforts." Ye Youqing looked at him coldly.

Qin Wang took a few steps back, and suddenly smiled, as if Ye Youqing was very overconfident, and didn't pay attention to her at all, and said softly: "Since ancient times, parents ordered matchmakers to say, this matter is out of your hands."

"Wait, Qingqing." Qin Wang said, and then blinked his left eye at Ye Youjian, and then disappeared outside the hall with big strides.

Ye Youqing had never seen such a nauseating blink, and almost retched, a catkin slowly touched the celadon vase beside him, and unconsciously crushed the flowers into mud, his eyes gradually deepened.

She remembered that Ci Ke said that day that Qin Wang was going to send the Queen Mother's favorite gift in exchange for the Queen Mother's personal marriage proposal.

The most terrible thing is that if it is based on the original book, it is indeed Qin Wang who won the first place.

Thinking of this, Ye Youqing's original anger suddenly dissipated, and turned into a thoughtful smile.She is not a person who likes to grab other people's things, but since Qin Wang is not benevolent.

Of course she can be unrighteous.
