Before entering the palace, Qiu Yan worked hard to make female celebrities, and her younger sister Qiu Min was depressed and her mother protected her eldest sister everywhere, which was inexplicably delicious. In the blink of an eye, on the day of the gift, the female relatives of the officials and their daughters visited Guo Guifei and presented treasures one after another. I never imagined that the gift that Qiu Yan had carefully prepared was unexpectedly packaged.
The exquisite embroidery scroll became a stubborn stone. This sudden change was really unexpected for Qiu Yan, but she quickly calmed down, and her clever mouth coaxed Concubine Guo into a smile, and she used this stone to praise the other party for being dignified and simple. Guo Guifei had already guessed that the loss of the embroidered scroll was not Qiu Yan's original intention. Besides, this woman was so smart and she was very popular. As for the matter of entering the palace, it still needs to be discussed again.
Qiu Yan accompanied Han to the outside of the palace, recalling the scene just now, she couldn't help but have lingering fears. In order to avoid provoking people's tongues and stop Qiu Yan from talking more, Han hurriedly returned to Qiu Mansion. But for a long time, Liang Yi was ordered to send a plaque of chastity to convey Guo Guifei's teaching on his behalf.
It must be a rare gift from the goddess to give the plaque. The Qiu family was overjoyed and instantly felt that their face was bright. Mrs. Qiu even decided to hold a grand banquet for three days. But in Qiu Yan's view, this honor symbolizes the cage, restraining her freedom for the rest of her life, and she has no hope of chastity archway.
In fact, Qiu Yan had already guessed eight or nine points long ago. After all, it would be disrespectful to exchange gifts. Ordinary palace servants have no courage at all. Only Liang Yi would rely on his favor and have no fear, because his mother, Mrs. Jin, was Guo. The personal maids of the imperial concubine have an extraordinary relationship with each other.
In the face of Qiu Yan's questioning, Liang Yi admitted without any disguise that the reason was that he couldn't get used to Qiu Yan's self-consciousness, and tried to confuse everyone with a clever tongue. However, Qiu Yan did everything for self-protection, accusing the woman that her life was as cheap as duckweed, but Liang Yi believed that in today's world, everyone is just living a life, and life and death are in the hands of the emperor, so she warned her that she should know what it means to "save virtue" Only by strengthening yourself first can you truly change the rules.
Qiu Mansion held a banquet to welcome guests, and the surrounding people and even literati came to hear the news. Qiu Yan felt more and more sad. Fortunately, Qin Xuan, the prince of the United Kingdom, came forward to save the siege, and the relationship between him and Qiu Yan is still a "cousin and sister" without blood relationship.
Because of Qin Xuan's righteous help, Qiu Yan was unsuspecting of him, and even told her experience of being abandoned by Aunt Liu because of her daughter's body, lamenting that there are too many in this world who can't help themselves. Qin Xuan wanted to fulfill Qiu Yan's wish before becoming a monk, but she asked for a kiss half-jokingly, and then she simply had a drink with the other party.
After the banquet was over, Qiu Yan packed up and wanted to send Qingdai away. After all, she was still young and couldn't accompany her to Jingyun Nunnery. During the conversation, Aunt Liu sent a package of silver taels, knowing that life at Jingyun Nunnery was difficult, and Qiu Yan refused to accept it.
But at this moment, Han shi had prepared silver and silver clothes for Qiu Yan, urging her to get on the carriage and leave the city as soon as possible. Thinking of Han's kindness to her, Qiu Yan cried on the spot and bowed in tears. Just as she led Qingdai out the back door, Qiu Min hurriedly chased after her to keep her, hoping that Qiu Yan could consider her mother's situation.
That night, the long street in the city exuded a sense of coldness and coldness. Seeing the carriage swaying out of the city, Qiu Yan felt relieved for a moment, but quickly frowned. In the early morning of the next day, news of Qiu Yan's disappearance spread throughout the mansion. Aunt Liu insisted that she had no knowledge of it and that she had not yet had time to punish her.
In fact, Qiu Yan thought about taking this opportunity to walk away, but she also remembered that the Han family had kindness first, and if she could sacrifice herself in exchange for abandoning the two families, it would not affect her parents and clansmen. Seeing that Qiu Yan sincerely repented, Mrs. He did not hold her accountable for her previous rudeness, and persuaded General He to let Qiu Yan live in the mansion and discuss it after her son's funeral.
Knowing that Qiu Yan's repentance must have something to do with Qiu Min, the Han family called her in for questioning. Qiu Min thought that her mother was unfair, and she was clearly her own biological son. Why couldn't she be as good as Qiu Yan, because she was not as smart and courageous as Qiu Yan, and she was not as good as her to please the Han family. Because of this, Qiu Min felt very sad and complained to Qiu Yan.
Qiu Yan was staying in the mourning hall wearing a linen and filial piety. How could she know that Liang Yi suddenly came to express her condolences, and offered to stay there for a few days, so that she would keep the spirit for He Feng. General He did not hesitate and arranged the guest room in person, but Qiu Yan was certain that he had other goals. But after a while, Qin Xuan came to visit the mansion as a classmate. He and Liang Yi met and ridiculed each other, each of which hid little-known thoughts.
At the second watch of the night, a group of people deliberately threw dozens of black cats into the He's house, and the black cats rushed into the mourning hall, causing everyone to panic. Qiu Yan asked the people to expel the black cat. After some confusion, she hurriedly closed the door of the mourning hall, leaving only her and Qin Xuan, who couldn't help but smile at each other.
