Chapter 26 There is a spy in the palace

Qin Shu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Qin Xixi did not cause more trouble at the Jinke Banquet, and her son was safe.

She was still a little nervous when she saluted the emperor.

"Your Majesty, this Jinke Banquet is over, and I and my daughter have no face to stay in the palace anymore. You see..."

In fact, she wanted to take Qin Xixi away now, but it was not easy to ask the emperor directly for her.

After watching such a big drama, Qin Xixi herself was actually a little tired.

She was yawning at this time, and she also wanted to go with her mother.

"Xixi and I get along well. If I want her to stay in the palace, who dares to say no."

[Let's not do it. Xixi just wants to eat melon. Now that this big sweet melon has been eaten, Xixi is going home with her mother. 】

She did not forget to touch the emperor's beard and stretched her arm to her mother.

[Mother, let's go home!]

Qin Shu felt a warm feeling in her heart, but she couldn't make the decision. She had to see what the emperor wanted.

The emperor felt the comfort from little Xixi and was amazed at how smart this little girl was.

Although he was reluctant to let this mischievous little girl go home, he couldn't help but let her and her mother go home.

The emperor thought about it, took out a token from his waist, and stuffed it into Xixi's hand.

"Little Xixi, if you want to go to the palace to play in the future, just take this token in, and no one will dare to stop you."

Qin Xixi didn't understand, and just thought it was a toy, giggling and playing with it in her hand.

Qin Shu was indeed very surprised.

The emperor actually gave all the tokens for entering and leaving the palace to Xixi!

How many people in the world can have such an honor!

Qin Shu was both relieved and worried that her daughter was so loved by the emperor. She took Qin Xixi from the emperor with a lot of thoughts in her mind.

"This is the first time I have seen such an interesting child. Master Qin, please go back and take good care of Xixi. When you are free, bring her to the palace to see the princess."

The emperor exchanged pleasantries with Qin Shu and sent her away.

After leaving the palace, many people suddenly surrounded Qin Shu and talked to her.

"Madam Qin, my Erlang saw that your daughter is very cute today, and he wanted to arrange a marriage with her. I wonder if the Qin family has this intention."

"Madam Qin, my daughter and your daughter are of similar age. Why don't the two children be friends and interact more in the future!"

"Madam Qin, I bought some food that your daughter likes. Please don't dislike it, Madam Qin!"

"Your son is also very handsome. I wonder if he has any idea of ​​getting married!"

"..."

Qin Shu was speechless, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

Just because she was favored by the princess and the emperor, someone wanted to arrange a marriage with Xixi!

Her Xixi is so young that she can't even speak!

Among these flatterers, there are also sharp-tongued women who secretly scolded her for being fat before.

Seeing them afraid that the advantage would be snatched away by others, Qin Shu felt that she had let out a breath of anger.

"You are too enthusiastic, my daughter is still young, and I really have no plans in this regard. Qixuan's marriage is entirely up to him. As a parent, I will not interfere. Goodbye."

Qin Shu hurriedly got on the carriage and left the palace.

Finally returned to the mansion, before stepping into the door, she heard the enthusiastic voice of her scumbag father.

"Madam, you are back! Did His Majesty say anything to the new top three today?"

He seemed to have no memory of what happened at the palace gate, and turned around to be attentive to Qin Shu.

Qin Shu knew that he wanted to know how Zhou Fangze performed today?

Thinking of Zhou Fangze's loss of face today...

She didn't mind talking to Zhou Yiyang a little more.

"Today, His Majesty wants to choose a consort for the princess."

As expected, Zhou Yiyang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he seemed to have thought of something and cautiously tested.

"But was Qixuan chosen?"

Qin Shu shook her head with pretended regret.

Zhou Yiyang was ecstatic, and a smug expression appeared on his face.

So what if Qin Qixuan got the top spot in the imperial examination? He still couldn't get the favor of the nobles, and the position of consort would still belong to Fang Ze!

Thinking of this, he pretended to be regretful.

"Qixuan, please don't be too sad. I've seen Zhou Fangze before, he's really a handsome man. Although Qixuan passed the imperial examination and got the top score, he's still not as good as him. It's understandable that the princess is interested in Zhou Fangze!"

Qin Shu was speechless by his shameless remarks.

Zhou Fangze was indeed taught by Zhou Yiyang, and the inexplicable self-confidence of the two of them was exactly the same.

Qin Shu shook her head when she heard it.

"The prince consort is not Zhou Fangze either."

The expression on Zhou Yiyang's face was a little dull for a moment.

"Could it be Du Wenxun? How is it possible!"

Du Wenxun was the least noticeable of the three. Even if it was Qin Qixuan, it couldn't be him! How is this possible?

Qin Shu sneered. "Although your majesty said

that he wanted to find a consort for the princess, not everyone is qualified." "Zhou Fangze is a commoner, he just won the third place in the imperial examination, how could he have the courage to ask for the hand in marriage of Princess Zhaoyang? Your majesty is naturally furious. That third place has become a joke at this golden exam banquet." Zhou Yiyang's face turned pale in an instant. How could it be! How could his son, whom he was most proud of, be like this! Qin Shu was unwilling to continue to deal with him, turned around and went back to her room. ... I don't know if Zhou Fangze and Zhou Yiyang had a big fight in the past few days. Anyway, every time Zhou Yiyang came back home, his face was sullen and he didn't say a word. Qin Shu was happy that he would not cause trouble to her. But on this day, Zhou Yiyang actually came back with a smile, and Qin Shu immediately felt something was wrong.

He pretended to be very happy and put his arm around Qin Shu's shoulders.

"I received news that Daddy and father seem to be going back to the capital."

What did he say?

Are Daddy and father going to the capital soon?

Qin Shu was instantly horrified.

Obviously not many people knew that Daddy and Mom were going back to the capital, how did Zhou Yiyang know the whereabouts of his father at this time!

Zhou Yiyang did not feel Qin Shu's shock, but pretended to be considerate and continued.

"Since father and others are coming to the capital, we might as well send someone to pick them up."

[Grandfather and others are not coming to the capital so soon. ]

While Qin Shu was shocked, Qin Xixi licked her fingers and thought to herself.

[In the original book, Grandfather saved a woman on the road and delayed his arrival in the capital. 】

Qin Shu subconsciously held her breath and concentrated, thinking of how Xixi had told the story of her family's tragic persecution before.

Would Xixi tell the whole process of Zhou Yiyang's plan this time?

Qin Shu was really nervous.

Qin Xixi naturally did not let her down.

【Later, the scumbag father used a trick to kill the great grandfather, but acted in front of the woman, saying that it was actually the grandfather who killed him. In this way, the scumbag father took advantage of the woman's desire to avenge her benefactor and used her as a murder tool to kill grandpa and grandmother. 】

Qin Xixi couldn't help but feel that the scumbag father was so bad! After doing all the bad things, he still wanted to get himself out of it, which was really hateful.

Is it really like this?

Although Qin Shu was prepared, she was still a little shocked.

Zhou Yiyang's wolfish ambition should not be underestimated. This person has a sinister and vicious mind, so she has to be on guard.

However, it is inevitable that Dad and his friends will encounter some dangers along the way. They are all old, so some people need to be sent to pick them up.

"That makes some sense, so let's find someone to pick up Dad and his friends."

Zhou Yiyang was delighted when he heard this, and sneered in his heart.

Qin Shu really fell into the trap.

Without the support of her mother's family, how long can she be so proud!

He pretended to be casual and pointed at the servant next to him.

"Let Zhao Da go. If he is smart, I can feel relieved."

Zhou Yiyang's recommendation is naturally not a good person.

[Mom, be careful! This is someone from Dad's family! ]

Qin Xixi was worried that her mother was deceived by Dad, and she protested.

Qin Shu's face changed.

It seems that the accident happened to this man named Zhao Da. Could it be that he was ordered by Zhou Yiyang to kill his father?

Even if Zhao Da is not allowed to go, it is inevitable that Zhao Er and Zhao San will obey Zhou Yiyang. It is better to pretend to agree and see what they want to do.

Qin Shu nodded as if she knew nothing.

"In this case, then I will trouble this brother."

After turning around, her expression sank.

Since Zhou Yiyang knew that she was going to take her father back to Beijing, and she had not told many people, it can only mean...

there are spies in the mansion!
