The whole family was wiped out?The treacherous minister turned around and cooed at me

Chapter 64

The two of them fell into a long silence, and no one spoke first. At this moment, the noise around them seemed to disappear in an instant.

Until the palace attendant's sharp voice rose up and summoned: "The Emperor has arrived!"

The weird atmosphere between the two was instantly broken. People around him stood up to greet him, and Zhao Yuhuai was surrounded by people and walked into the hall.

Everyone stood up to greet him, and when he sat down, the ministers gathered around to greet him. Yan Xu'an stood aside to look after the envoys who came forward to propose a toast.

Qin Shuangjiang and Qin Zhiyun turned around and sat down, and then heard Qin Zhiyun say softly: "I'm sorry..."

Her voice was very soft, and it was not easy to be heard in this slightly noisy environment, but Qin Shuangjiang had good ears.

Qin Shuangjiang raised his eyes and glanced at the person in front of him. According to Qin Zhiyun's character, her apology must be sincere, and the guilt in her heart must be genuine.

Qin Shuangjiang didn't say anything. He just picked up the jug beside him and helped her pour the wine. He said, "Sister, don't blame yourself. It's all over."

After pouring the wine, Qin Shuangjiang took the initiative to change the topic: "I heard that my sister has been practicing embroidery hard these days. I wonder how she feels?"

After hearing this, Qin Zhiyun looked grateful, and then smiled at her, and the two chatted warmly again. When they got up, they drank a few more drinks until she fell asleep and was taken away. The palace servants helped him go down to the side hall to rest.

Zhao Huaian, who was talking to others, saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to ask about the situation. After apologizing to the person he was talking to, he followed him worriedly.

At the end, Qin Shuangjiang also stood up, ready to go out for some air.

At this time, the sun had completely set, and inside the red palace wall, it was deathly silent. Only the sound of music and people talking could be heard in the hall.

Standing in front of the railing, the cool breeze blowing on his face caressed his face. Qin Shuangjiang suddenly felt that he had sobered up.

It suddenly occurred to me that I didn't see Xiao Rongce today. If he had nothing to do with such an important banquet, he would definitely attend. If he didn't come, something must have happened.

But I haven't heard of any troublesome things recently, and Qin Zhiyun suddenly mentioned that matter today, which made Qin Shuangjiang feel a little uncomfortable.

After standing outside for a while, thinking about it, Qin Shuangjiang suddenly felt a strong embrace coming from behind. Qin Shuangjiang was shaken all over, and he knew who the other person was without looking back.

Sure enough, Yan Xu'an hugged her completely, rubbed her fluffy hair with his chin, and asked softly with some drunkenness: "What's wrong? Why did you come out?"

Qin Shuangjiang shook his head, smiled and replied: "It's nothing, I just want to come out to have some fun, why are you here too? Don't you have to deal with those people?"

Qin Shuangjiang said, turning his head slightly to look at him, his eyes facing each other, he shook his head with a smile, raised his brows slightly, and said meaningfully: "With Duke Qin as the pillar of the country, what's the matter with me? ah."

There was some sarcasm in his words. Qin Shuangjiang didn't say anything. He just tilted his head and looked past Yan Xu'an and glanced inside.

I saw Qin Shu Yanzheng chatting happily with several envoys, while Zhao Yuhuai was sitting beside him, eating food and drinking wine, chatting with others from time to time, looking like a young adult.

Thinking of Yan Xu'an's smiling and kind look when he coaxed Zhao Yuhuai just now, Qin Shuangjiang felt a little funny in his heart. He never thought that such a resolute Yan Xu'an would be so accommodating.

As if aware of her suppressed laughter, Yan Xu'an's eyes narrowed slightly, and the hand around him couldn't help but fall on her waist, pinching her lightly, "Why are you laughing?" It didn't hurt, but it was uncomfortable. Qin Shuangjiang dodged subconsciously and glared at him coquettishly, as if to remind him that there was a large audience here.

Yan Xu'an, however, didn't seem to care at all. He pulled her body back, which she had subconsciously avoided, and pressed her tightly against him. Qin Shuangjiang said angrily, "Sir!"

But he just laughed mischievously and didn't say anything, but he didn't let go either, until a slight cough came from the side, as if to remind them, the two of them turned their heads in confusion and looked at the source of the sound.

It was Zhou Jinlin. He was standing not far away, looking away as if to avoid suspicion, but he did not leave. It was obvious at a glance that he was here to find Qin Shuangjiang.

Yan Xu'an's eyes were slightly cold, but Qin Shuangjiang raised his hand and pushed him, telling him to let go. Then he took back the realization and landed on Qin Shuangjiang, with a hint of grievance and undisguised jealousy in his eyes.

But considering that this was still a palace after all, Zhou Jinlin didn't dare to mess around. Before he let go of her, he lowered his head and kissed the corners of her eyes. He glanced at Zhou Jinlin coldly as if to declare his sovereignty, and then let go of her hand. .

Yan Xu'an didn't stay long, but held Qin Shuangjiang's hand ambiguously and whispered, "Then I'll go in and wait for you."

Qin Shuangjiang nodded, and naturally understood that this was for Zhou Jinlin, otherwise he would not have shown such a provocative look.

After watching Yan Xu walk into the hall, Zhou Jinlin looked away. When he looked at Qin Shuangjiang again, their eyes met.

He didn't beat around the bush, he went straight to the point and thanked her for helping her that day at the teahouse, and there was nothing else.

Qin Shuangjiang only smiled and said: "It's okay, it's just a little effort. What's more, the young marquis loves the people like a son. Wouldn't it be a pity if those people really succeeded?"

Listening to Qin Shuangjiang's compliments, he was obviously a little shy. He raised his hand and scratched his head, with an embarrassed smile on his face: "Girl, you are too serious."

As he spoke, he changed the topic slightly and said hurriedly: "I wonder if I can give you a favor, and ask you to treat me to a casual dinner as a token of my gratitude."

Qin Shuangjiang fell silent. When she met his expectant eyes, her mind changed slightly. She subconsciously turned her head and glanced at Yan Xu'an in the hall, and saw him sitting in his seat, staring melancholy.

She smiled and shook her head, refusing: "I accept the offer, so I don't need to eat. There is no need for the young Marquis to be upset about this. I didn't help much."

"No!" Seeing that she wanted to distance herself from the relationship so quickly, Zhou Jinlin frowned. As soon as she finished speaking, he said: "Girl, I, Zhou, am definitely not someone who refuses to repay a favor. Please don't refuse me." yes."

"..."

Qin Shuangjiang was silent. Before she could say her rejection this time, Zhou Jin suddenly cut off her worries and said, "Don't worry, girl. Zhou knows what the girl is worried about and will never embarrass her."

"At that time, it will definitely not be just you and me. Zhou will ask the eldest sister of the family to accompany him. It's all about making friends. Girl, don't refuse anymore!"

After he said that, he didn't give Qin Shuangjiang any chance to say anything more, bowed his hands in greeting, turned around and left, all at once.

Qin Shuangjiang stood there and watched. He didn't even have time to stop him, so he could only watch him walk into the banquet.

Qin Shuangjiang was a little helpless. Although she was not an expert in love, she was not incompatible with men and women. Although Zhou Jinlin had no dirty intentions, he did not necessarily come here just to make friends.
