Chapter 102: Rival

Perhaps, people like Yan Yu have always been like this, it is difficult to really like someone. No matter what his feelings for Su Wanxiang, she has no time to care about his feelings.
After she finished dressing up, the sky was bright, and Cui's mother sent someone to bring breakfast. The two had breakfast together, Yan Yu went back home, Qin Jiu went to visit Lan She again.
Ever since Qin Jiu took the Lanshe, he didn't need to pick up other guests. But Lan She knew in his heart that Qin Jiu was there to protect him, but if he stayed free of worries every day, waiting for Qin Jiu's guest, Cui's mother would be dissatisfied sooner or later. Regardless of this, he also needs to contact his guests more to get more news. Therefore, Lan She continued to dance and play the piano for the guests.
Lan She was also aware of Qin Jiu's actions yesterday. He was worried about the whole night last night. At this time, seeing that Qin Jiu was all right, he was relieved.
"Lan'er, has King Kangyang ever been to Wuyouju?" Qin Jiu asked.
Lan She shook his head, "People in the official position of Dayu State usually don't come to the brothel. They just want to listen to the music, and usually invite Le Ji to play in the mansion. As the prince of Kangyang, even if he has a romantic nature, I would not come to such a place rashly."
Qin Jiu nodded. Yan Min is indeed prosperous by nature, but with the guidance of Concubine Hui and Li Yunxiao, the counsellor of the Tianchen Sect, he seldom does anything wrong.
"Lan'er, I asked you to find a person proficient in play in the Suyi Bureau to be by the side of King Kangyang. Can he get the favor of King Kangyang?" Soon after arriving in the capital, Qin Jiu asked Lan She to follow The Suyi Bureau sent a person into the Kangyang Palace.
Lan She smiled slightly: "An Wu has also been in the brothel. He is more proficient in eating, drinking and having fun than I am. He was originally just waiting at the courtyard gate because he is extremely clever and knows a lot. Now, he has done it. The attendants of King Kangyang can only wait for the orders of the adults."
Qin Jiu frowned, "Let him do nothing, just stay with King Kangyang, and don't need him to spy on intelligence, as long as he can get Yan Min's complete trust and induce Yan Min to indulge in accordance with his nature. You can do it yourself." In the past few years, Tianchenzong has always supported Yan Min, but Yan Min has a romantic nature. As his counselor, Li Yunxiao must supervise everything. I am afraid Yan Min is not without grievances. If a person suppresses his own nature for a long time and accumulates it for a certain period of time, it will definitely explode.
"After passing the message this time, you two should never contact again, so as not to be seen through." Qin Jiu ordered again.
Lan She nodded and agreed.
Qin Jiu finished his explanation and said with a smile: "It's rare to live in Wuyou once. Anyway, I also spent a lot of money on your wallet. Why don't you give me a piece of Fuqin."
Lan She understood what Qin Jiu meant. If they only talked, they would be suspicious if worry-free. So, he ordered people to hug the piano and stroke it.
When Qin Jiu arrived in the Lanshe House, Fang took the loquat and left.
A few days later, at the fifteenth hour, Qin Jiu ordered the loquat to go to Linglong Pavilion again and asked Mu Yufei to arrange the exercises in the hot springs. The night she entered the imperial mausoleum, she was really angry, but was temporarily suppressed by Yan Yu's internal force, so she must try to clear it again, otherwise it would be difficult for her to fight with internal force during this time.
Loquat did not know what happened to Qin Jiu's devil, Qin Jiu also deliberately concealed it, did not tell him, only said that he needed to practice again.
Because of Yan Su’s first practice in hot springs, he was hit by Yan Su and went to the court. Later, Qin Jiu did not go to Zhaoping’s other palace, but asked Mu Yufei to search Jiuman Mountain to see if there were any secrets that had not been taken by the royal family. Discover the hot springs. With good luck, I found a hot spring in a hidden small col on the north foot of Jiuman Mountain. The mountains here are steep and inaccessible, so this hot spring was not discovered by the royal family.
On the night of the fifteenth, Qin Jiu, Loquat and Mu Yufei quietly went up to Jiuman Mountain. She had already practiced the "Mending Heaven and Heart Sutra" here once, and this time she had just experienced a delusion, so she asked Mu Yufei to find several teenagers. That night, she practiced all night and finally unblocked the Zhen Qi suppressed by Yan Yu.
Regarding the imperial tomb, Emperor Qing was extremely furious when he discovered that someone had sneaked into the imperial tomb, but in the end he was left with no clues to investigate. Emperor Qing severely punished Yuan Ba ​​for his dereliction of duty, but he did not suspect that he had committed theft.
These days, Beijing is very peaceful, but North Korea is not calm.
After several days of deliberation, Emperor Qing unexpectedly promoted durian as the official book of the criminal ministry due to the recommendation of many officials, and gave him a mansion. Durian moved out with cherries. Qin Jiu was not relieved, and secretly sent someone from the plain clothes bureau to protect the safety of the durian.
After Liu Li, the official secretary, was dismissed, Emperor Qing never sent someone to succeed him. This time, Han Jidao, a junior official from the official department, was admitted exceptionally. This person was a pure minister and was not involved in the dispute between Yan Min and Yan Su.
Qin Jiu successfully weakened Yan Min's influence in the official ministry, and also succeeded in changing the situation where Yan Su was overwhelmingly in the criminal ministry.
These days, Sizhifang is very busy, because at the beginning of May, it is Dayu's annual farming and weaving festival.
Dayu Kingdom re-cultivation and weaving. Every year at this festival, the emperor will personally lead the officials to work on the farmland for a day, while the concubines will lead the families of the officials in the DPRK to cut cloth and make clothes into new robes and donate them to poor areas. In the hands of the people, to show the court's closeness to the people. This festival is very grand because of the emperor’s attention. At the call of the royal family, the people of Lijingcheng will also make new clothes from every household and donate them together.
Over time, this has become a tradition of Dayuguo.
Skillful girls will embroider flowers on the new robe, so this festival has also evolved into a festival of women's competition embroidery.
Cao Fushun, the supervisor of the Purchasing Bureau of Sizhifang, has been busy buying cloth recently, and Li Xiangrong, the supervisor of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, led the people in the bureau to dye the fabric day and night so that it can be distributed to the concubine on the sixth day of May. The new clothes made by the concubines are all uniform fabrics issued by Si Zhifang. Naturally, it is also easy to distinguish who has the higher embroidery skills. The concubines are more serious than the folk girls in this matter.
Qin Jiu spent more and more time in Sizhifang in the daytime. At noon this day, after the last batch of fabrics of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau was dyed, she was about to return home, and she saw the two princesses of Yunshao State Shangsi. Sihe Shang Chuchu took his attendants to Sizhifang.
With a smile, Qin Jiu let the two princesses into the house and sent someone to pour the tea.
"Why did the two princesses come to Sizhifang today?" Qin Jiu smiled slightly.
Shang Chuchu looked at Qin Jiu's house with a pair of smart eyes, "Sister Qin, we can't miss you, so shall we come to see you?"
Qin Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, "Really, it's better to go out and have fun, here, but there is really nothing to play with."
Shang Chuchu said enviously: "Sister Qin's position is really good. She is not very busy every day. She can play whenever she wants to. I heard that Sister Qin has also included a clean lady from Wuyouju. I really admire it. Tight."
Qin Jiu smiled politely. I didn’t expect that in the eyes of others, she was so relaxed, "The third princess laughed. If someone like Lian'er treats me sincerely, I won’t be like that. The third princess should cherish what she has right now, I This kind of day is just drunk and dreaming of death."
Shang Chuchu blinked when he heard the words and stopped talking.
The second princess, Shang Sisi, has not spoken since she first came. She is wearing a pure blue dress today, sitting there lightly, her skin radiant and snowy, her eyes are picturesque, the whole person is like a piece of beautiful jade, exuding a dazzling light.
Qin Jiu felt that Shang Sisi seemed to have something on his mind, and her expression was a little lonely, which made Qin Jiu very puzzled. She won the wishful man in Dayuguo, so she should be pleased. But Shang Chuchu liked Yan Su, but he didn't achieve his wish, so he should be lonely. Of course, Shang Chuchu seemed to be fine, but Shang Sisi was worried.
Shang Sisi noticed that Qin Jiu was looking at her, Liu eyebrows frowned, "Jiuye, we are here today, in fact we have something to ask for. I heard that after a few days, it will be the annual farming and weaving festival in your country. Chu Chu also wanted to participate, and came to fetch fabrics today."
Qin Jiu stunned, "It turns out that the two princesses also want to participate in the farming and weaving festival. How difficult is this? The first batch of fabrics here have been dyed and the two princesses just choose. In fact, send someone to say, I send someone Just send them to the post house, and I have to take the two of them to go there in person." After saying that, he ordered Li Guan from the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau to come and lead the two to select fabrics.
Shang Sisi strolled along with Li Xiangrong, but Shang Chuchu was not in a hurry to leave, but leaned in front of Qin Jiu, blinked, and whispered, "Sister Qin, I heard that Su Wanxiang’s embroidery skills are excellent. Does Si Zhifang have her embroidery?"
Qin Jiu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why, what do you want Miss Su's embroidery for?"
Shang Chuchu whispered: "Don’t hide from Sister Qin, my second sister wants to participate in the farming and weaving festival, in fact, to win Su Wanxiang. I heard that every year at the farming and weaving festival, three new robes with the best embroidery will be selected. Sister just wants to win Su Wanxiang. So, I want to find an embroidery by Su Wanxiang in advance to help my second sister."
Qin Jiu didn't know that in the past two years, new patterns have been added to the ploughing and weaving festival, and he has to choose the best embroidered robe. She shook her head, "We don't have Miss Su's embroidery here, but maybe they will be in the hands of King Anling and King Yan."
Shang Chuchu looked disappointed after hearing this.
Qin Jiu understood why Shang Chuchu was like this, because she would never go if she wanted her to ask for embroidery from Yan Su. However, she would not go to King Anling, but she should have no scruples about Yan Yu.
"Second princess, why don't you ask Yan Wang for Miss Su's embroidery?" Qin Jiu said lightly.
"Second sister won't let me go." Shang Chuchu frowned.
Qin Jiu was puzzled, "Why is this?" What is even more puzzled is why Shang Sisi wants to win Su Wanxiang?
