    Qinyao waited at home for several days, but she didn't expect Lin Xiao to come back, but she waited for Concubine Yi's birthday.

    Everyone in the court knew that Concubine Yi had a special status in the heart of the emperor. Over the years, she had been favored endlessly, and she had a son and a daughter who were even more sacred. Therefore, as early as a few days before the birthday banquet, many princes and ministers had already shown their family members.  She has magical powers and tries her best to give gifts to Concubine Yi.

    In order to see Lin Xiao as early as possible, Qinyao entered the palace early in the morning in the name of paying homage to Concubine Yi. When she arrived at Yongshou Palace, she saw that in addition to Kang Ping and Princess Derong, mother and daughter, there were many other wives and courtiers, all sitting around.  She bowed her head to Concubine Yi and said some compliments in a reserved or familiar way.

    Next to the emperor, Eunuch Mi was also there, smiling and showing Concubine Yi one by one the emperor's rewards in public.

    Qinyao bowed to Concubine Yi and presented a mutton-fat jade statue of Guanyin as a congratulatory gift.

    Concubine Yi smiled and asked her to sit next to her. She took a closer look at her, and saw that her skin was as smooth and fair as a pear, her bright eyes were naturally smiling, and her every move was indescribably bright. The more she looked at her, the more she fell in love with her.  Then he asked her warmly: "I haven't seen you these days. What are you busy with at home?"

    Qinyao said with a smile: "My brother got engaged a few days ago. I was afraid that my mother-in-law would be too busy, so I went back to my mother's house several times."

    Concubine Yi was startled, "Look at me, just knowing that Wang Shangshu promised Ying Ning to the talented scholar Qu, I almost forgot that Master Qu is your brother."

    As he spoke, he sighed with a smile and deliberately lowered his voice, not wanting to let the words fall into the ears of others, "Don't blame me, Wang Yingning is a good-looking child, and his temperament is nothing to say. If it weren't for the two marriages he made when he was young, he would suffer a lot.  After all the twists and turns, she has been burdened with the reputation of being a naughty husband for no reason, so how could she have wasted her time until now and still not be engaged. In my opinion, there are few women from aristocratic families in Manchang'an who can compare with Ying Ning. What kind of husband can't she deserve? It's a shame.  Your brother is also one of the best among men, otherwise Wang Shangshu would be reluctant to promise his daughter to your brother."

    Qin Yao saw that she showed a bit of regret from time to time when she spoke. She remembered that Lin Xiao had said that both the emperor and Concubine Yi preferred Wang Yingning as the crown princess. It seemed that this was true, so she pursed her lips and smiled and said: "It's really a coincidence that Ying Ning and Concubine Yi are both the crown prince.  We got along very well when we were classmates. At that time, I saw that she was very talented and beautiful, so I often wondered who would be lucky enough to ask her to be my wife in the future. I never thought that one day she would become my sister-in-law."

    Concubine Yi also laughed, "The friendship between classmates is the most rare thing. I think you two will get along very harmoniously after getting along. By the way, when is your brother's wedding date?"

    "Next May." Qin Yao replied.

    During the question and answer, Xia Qian sat aside with a slight smile and listened to the conversation between Concubine Yi and Qin Yao.

    Derong sat next to his daughter, looking at Qinyao indifferently. He only listened to a few words, then turned to talk to Mrs. Weiyuan Hou.

    Qin Yao had been expecting Lin Xiao to come to Yongshou Palace to find her, but it was not until the evening when the banquet was held in Taiye Pond that Lin Xiao handed over the affairs in his hands to his subordinates and came to the banquet.

    At that time, the emperor and the prince had already sat down at the banquet, laughing and drinking for a while.

    King Wu and Xia Qian kowtowed to Concubine Yi in the palace. Not to be outdone, Kang Ping also smiled and pulled Feng Boyu to pay his mother's birthday and gave him a carefully prepared congratulatory gift.

    Qinyao always paid attention to the movement at the palace door. After hearing the announcement from the palace people, she looked at the palace door and saw Lin Xiao coming in. He had changed out of the armor of the imperial guard and put on an ocher red uniform. He wore a sapphire crown on his head and a sapphire crown on his waist.  The black girdle is very noble and impeccable from head to toe. Only the pouch hanging with the unicorn jade pendant on the waist looks a bit crude.

    Qin Yao naturally knew that the purse was sewn by herself. Since she gave it to Lin Xiao, he has worn it on her body like a treasure all the time. She has never been willing to take it off, even when she wears regular clothes. Today, under his dress,  This purse seems a little out of place.

    She sighed slightly in embarrassment. She had already spent 120% of her efforts on making this pouch, but now it seemed that she had to put in more effort and make it more detailed for Lin Xiao.

    Lin Xiao saluted Concubine Yi and said a few words of birthday greetings. Concubine Yi smiled and said: "You are a child who knows the rules very well. You have been busy all day. I don't know how tired you are, but you are still so strict.  Sit down and have a rest, your wife is already here, let her serve you a glass of wine first to take away the chill from your body."

    Qinyao heard it from the side and hurriedly stood up and responded with a smile.  Lin Xiao sat down next to Qin Yao and saw that she only had a quilted half-arm piece outside her mattress skirt. Although the heater was lit in the hall, he was still afraid that she would catch a cold, so he squeezed her hand through the cover of the sleeves and asked in a low voice:  "Is it cold?"

    Qin Yao hadn't seen Lin Xiao for a few days, and she was thinking a lot. She couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at him carefully, and smiled softly: "I'm not cold."

    He poured a glass of wine that had already been warmed, handed it to him and said, "Drink a glass first to warm yourself up."

    Lin Xiao took the drink, glanced at Qin Yao, and saidThe voice that only one person could hear said: "I've been busy these days, so I'll go back home tonight."

    Qinyao¡¯s eyes flickered, she pursed her lips and smiled, ¡°Yeah.¡±

    Lin Xiao turned his head to look at her and saw that the corners of her mouth were raised, showing indescribable joy. His heart warmed up and he started laughing unconsciously.

    Sitting across from him were King Wu and Xia Qian. King Wu took a sip of wine and turned around to talk to his wife. Unexpectedly, Xia Qian looked at Qin Yao expressionlessly. After careful inspection, there was actually a hint of "no" in her eyes.  Unexplained hostility.

    He was secretly startled, and suddenly remembered that several times before, when he occasionally mentioned Qu Qinyao, Xia Qian always called Ayao directly, and never called "Eleventh Sister". It seemed that she was extremely unwilling to admit that Qu Qinyao was now  With his identity, doubts arise in his heart. Could it be that there was a disagreement between the two of them when they were in the academy?  Otherwise, why would his wife be so repulsive to Qu Qinyao?

    Xia Qian lost consciousness and caught a glimpse of King Wu looking at her from the corner of her eye. She suddenly realized that she had lost her composure. She covered her handkerchief and coughed, as if she just realized that King Wu was looking at her. She said softly: "Seventh brother, this  The wine is still a little cold, and I feel sick to my stomach after drinking it.¡±

    King Wu looked at Xia Qian thoughtfully. After a while, he nodded and said, "You should drink less. I will talk to my mother-in-law later and ask you to go back home and rest early."

    Xia Qian reached out to hold Wu Wang's hand, showed a soft smile, shook her head and said: "It's rare for my mother to be so happy today. How can I leave the table early? I have to let my mother enjoy herself before leaving. I'm not in the way. Come on.  I'll go back and Dr. Liu will prepare some pills for me, and I'll have Leng Xiang bring them to me to take."

    King Wu smiled and said, "You have always been sensible, I can't help you." Then he said nothing.

    After a while, Le Ji came in to perform and played a birthday message for Concubine Yi on the pipa. Qin Yao, covered by the laughter of silk and bamboo, asked Lin Xiao in a low voice, "Are we still going to Dali Temple tonight?"

    Lin Xiao squeezed her hand under the table and whispered: "Official Lu's body has been taken away by her relatives and is no longer in Dali Temple."

    After saying that, he saw a plate of golden chrysanthemum cakes on the small table in front of him, which Qinyao always liked, so he took a piece of it with chopsticks and put it to her mouth.

    Qin Yao's thoughts were still stuck on Lin Xiao's words of "being taken away by relatives". She forgot to refuse for a moment and ate from Lin Xiao's hand.

    Then I heard Concubine Yishou laugh and said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember what I told you? Although this kid Wei Jin doesn't like to talk, he is very caring. Look at how seriously he treats A Yao.  It hurts to the core.¡±

    As soon as he finished saying this, countless glances came from the hall, looking at the two of them with different expressions. After a moment of silence, they all followed Yi Fei's words and started laughing again, "This is exactly what young couples want to love.  That¡¯s good.¡±

    Qin Yao blushed, but Lin Xiao continued to eat calmly.

    Only Feng Boyu kept his head down and drank quietly, never looking in the direction of the two of them.

    Seeing him drinking one cup after another, Kang Ping was afraid that he was drunk, so he pressed his cup and advised, "If you drink any more, you'll get a headache again."

    Feng Boyu smiled and took the wine cup back from Kang Ping's hand, and whispered: "I know it in my heart. It's rare that I'm happy today. You might as well let me drink a few drinks. It doesn't matter if I'm drunk."

    Over there, Xia Qian saw it clearly. Her eyes lingered thoughtfully on Feng Boyu for a moment, then she smiled and advised Kang Ping: "The prince-in-law has always been measured. Instead of trying to stop him, why don't you join the prince-in-law in toasting your mother with a few more glasses of wine?"  ."

    Kangping had no choice but to give up.

    The crowd became more and more lively as they drank. Lin Xiao was afraid that Qin Yao would feel suffocated, so he temporarily retreated, put a cloak on her, and pulled her out.

    Qin Yao happened to have a lot of questions to ask Lin Xiao. She walked to the side of the terrace and saw that the closest palace attendants were all ten feet away. She leaned against the railing and raised her head and asked Lin Xiao: "The case of Ms. Lu has been delayed for so long, why is it so quiet?"  The case was closed quietly?"

    Lin Xiao tucked a strand of hair from her temples behind her ear and said: "Anyway, it was 'suicide'. No matter how much the investigation continued, Dali Temple could not find out the ugly Yinmao, so they had to close the case. However, in my opinion,  Even if Ms. Lu¡¯s body is still in Dali Temple, we shouldn¡¯t go to check it out, so as not to alert others, we might as well start from other aspects.¡±

    "Are you trying to scare the snake?" Qin Yao looked stern, "Why do you say that? Could it be that someone has been keeping an eye on Ms. Lu's case?"

    Lin Xiao sighed and said clearly: "That night we discovered that there was something wrong with the academy. Miss Lu did not hang herself with her front legs or her hind legs, but chose to hang herself that night. After this happened, the academy was banned. Wait until we go again  During the inspection, the evil spirits in the academy have been completely eliminated, please think carefully about the reason for this."

    Qin Yao pondered for a moment, then asked in shock: "You mean, someone intends to close the academy for a period of time by killing people?"

    Lin Xiao looked at Qin Yao solemnly and said: "If Miss Lu was really harmed, the person behind it obviously didn't want people to be suspicious of the academy, and they would not hesitate to kill people to create time and effort to cover up the evil in the academy again.  Chance, Ayao, I'm afraid your earlier guesses were right. Not only is there a problem in the academy, but for some unknown reason, this problem is gradually getting out of the control of the people behind it."

    Out of control?

    A chill ran across Qin Yao's back, and her heart started to beat wildly when she saw Lin Xiao's unprecedented serious expression.

Not only is there a problem in the academy, but for some unknown reason, this problem is gradually getting out of the control of the people behind it."
