In the blink of an eye, the time has entered winter, these days the three princes are quite peaceful, except for sending the princess and side concubine to visit the door from time to time, they have never acted rashly.

Since the empress has informed the three sons that Qiu Jinning is a phoenix girl, she will send someone to watch her. Whoever takes the lead at this time is a fool.

There is a saying that only by shooting at the head of the bird can success be achieved. The three princes are much more honest.

On the day of the Laba Festival, Qiu Jinning rarely planned to relax for a day, and accepted Qin Chu's invitation to serve porridge in front of the Qin Family Wine Pavilion.

The two of them stirred the cooked Laba porridge and added it into the bowl spoon by spoon.

From time to time, Qin Chu looked at the people around him with affection in his eyes.

But seeing the spoon in Qiu Jinning's hand paused, he stared in one direction and became dazed.

Qin Chu followed her line of sight and saw a woman in a red cotton dress, who was also looking at this side, her brows and eyes were indifferent, and her expression was a little strange.

What is so strange about it?

Qin Chu frowned, and suddenly realized that it was because the expression of the woman in red was too similar to Qiu Jinning, if not for her different looks, her every move would be like another Qiu Jinning.

Qiu Jinning looked at the woman from a distance, and was patted lightly on the shoulder.

"Don't look at me, look at me."

Qiu Jinning turned her head to look at Qin Chu, and then looked away at the woman for a moment, but the place where people were standing just now was already empty.

She subconsciously dropped the spoon, got up and chased after her, and walked to the place where the woman in red was standing just now, but she couldn't see anyone when she looked around.

Qin Chu Yuyu followed: "You know her? An old acquaintance?"

Otherwise, why are you always staring at him intently, and chasing him out in such a hurry.

Qiu Jinning looked at Qin Chu, and said in a daze, "Red Shao, it's Hong Shao."

Her two maidservants are Hongshao and Luyao. Hongshao is stable and loves to read poetry and books. She always loves to imitate her.

So on the boat on the night of the Shangyuan Festival, she took Hong Shao to the banquet, drank the glass of wine with love gu, the wine was poured by Hong Shao, and then Hong Shao disappeared.

After Qin Mo broke his leg and fled back to Jiuqu County, Qiu Jinning once asked his father to ask Hong Shao's whereabouts.

At that time, Qin Mo was really out of his mind and didn't ask anything.

But just now, she saw her eldest maid, Hong Shao, who had been missing for nearly a year, appeared in the capital dressed in red.

Qin Chu was taken aback for a moment, Hong Shao?Such a familiar name, remembered it!

"Your missing maid?"

Qiu Jinning looked around, her eyes shivering slightly: "It's her."

"Could I have read it wrong? How could she be in the capital?" She was still dressed so luxuriously, with pearls and jade hairpins, her demeanor was not like ordinary people, and she did not look like an ordinary maid.

Qin Chu also looked around, but he didn't see the red figure again, as if it was just their illusion.

Qiu Jinning's expression turned serious, and she shook her head firmly, "I can't see it wrong." That person was her big maid, Hong Shao.

Lu Yao was bought into the mansion when she was ten years old, and Hong Shao was a year later when she entered the mansion at eleven years old, the same age as Qiu Jinning.

She asked the county magistrate spontaneously, claiming that both her parents had died and had nowhere to go, so she asked the county magistrate to take her in.

County magistrate Qiu is kind-hearted, and seeing Hongshao's handsome appearance and clever speech, he thought of finding more companions for his daughter.

Therefore, Qiu Jinning had two maids by her side, one named Hongshao and the other named Luyao, both of whom were named by her, and accompanied her to grow up.

Qin Chu's expression became more serious. If Qiu Jinning read correctly, Hong Shao saw why her own lady didn't come to recognize her, and why she had been missing for so long.

She took Qiu Jinning's hand: "Don't think about it, as long as you are fine, I will send someone to inquire more."

Qiu Jinning nodded, but she felt uneasy in her heart for no reason. It's good that people are fine, but she still has doubts. Did the red spoon know about the glass of wine? If not, why couldn't they find anyone afterwards?

She had something to worry about, so she didn't want to give any more porridge, and went back to the house early.

As soon as got off the carriage, saw Lu Yao guarding the door and looking around.

"Miss, guess who came just now, it's Sister Hongshao, she also invited you to go to the Qingshi Temple outside the city to offer incense."

The little maid handed Qiu Jinning an invitation while talking, her face full of excitement.

Sister Hongshao has been missing for so long, so she came to the capital and met a nobleman, the heavens really have eyes, and she has prayed so many times.

Qiu Jinning's heart skipped a beat, she opened the invitation silently, folded it forcefully after reading it, and said in a condensed tone, "Go to Princess Anguo's Mansion."

Because the post came from Anguo Princess Mansion, Hong Shao has been renamed: Bai Hong Shao.

Surname Bai!And live in Anguo Princess Mansion!

Qiu Jinning turned around, and was about to find Princess Anguo to ask for clarification, when she saw the carriage of the Princess' Mansion parked by the side of the road, followed by Qin Chu's carriage.

Princess Anguo and Qin Chu got out of the carriage one after the other, they looked at each other and walked towards Qiu Jinning.

"My daughter Qiu Jinning pays her respects to Princess Anguo."

"Get up and go in and talk."

Princess Anguo waved her hand and walked in first, with a little haste.

Behind him, Qin Chu hurriedly supported Qiu Jinning to get up, and followed each other.

Princess Anguo came to the Qin Mansion, and went to the study in Dongkua courtyard on the way.

Qin Chu and Qiu Jinning looked at each other, but they didn't stop them. In fact, they had a study room and main hall for entertaining guests, and the study room in Dongkua courtyard was for Qiu Jinning to study alone.

But Princess Anguo is not an outsider, but also an elder, and she is also a woman, so there is nothing wrong with it.

After entering the door, Princess Anguo sat down on a chair: "Sit down quickly, I have something important to discuss with you."

There were only two chairs in the study, Princess Anguo sat on one, and Qiu Jinning sat on the other. Qin Chu simply leaned against Qiu Jinning and stood there without saying to get another chair.

Princess Anguo didn't care about this trivial matter, and showed them a portrait: "This girl came to the princess' mansion yesterday, claiming to be a child of the royal family, and her biological mother is Bailuo. Her name is Bai Hongshao, and she is also from Jiuqu County.Madam's painting is not bad, and the painting has an eight-point charm, quickly see if you recognize it."

White and red peony?

Qiu Jinning took out the folded invitation card and handed it to Princess Anguo, and then went to see the portrait with Qin Chu.

The woman in the portrait has delicate features, graceful demeanor, and is dressed in red. It is the person they saw when they were serving porridge outside the wine pavilion. It is Qiu Jinning's big maid, Hong Shao.

Qiu Jinning frowned slightly, and told about Hong Shao's story: "After the night of Shangyuan Festival, she didn't hear from her, and I just saw her outside the wine pavilion today."

Princess Anguo read the contents of the invitation, and frowned after listening to Qiu Jinning's words: "This woman is not kind, my wife and I plan to recognize her, firstly, it can be used as a pathfinding stone, and secondly, it can be used as a shield. Do you agree?"how."

A servant girl who has been missing for many days, once entered the princess's mansion, she pretended to be a royal, and said that she wanted to recognize her ancestor and return to her clan, and even sent an invitation to Qiu Jinning in such a hurry, what was her intention?

Qiu Jinning thought more: "There is nothing wrong with the princess's move. I'm afraid it will be difficult to reveal her identity after the incident is over."

Princess Anguo said calmly, "With my wife and I as witnesses, why is it so difficult?"

Under the scrutinizing eyes of Princess Anguo, Qiu Jinning said generously: "What if she said that the two of you were deceived? But is there any evidence to prove Qin Chu's identity?"

Princess Anguo paused and frowned. Qiu Jinning's words were not unreasonable. No matter which step she took, she had to be sure that nothing would go wrong, lest she rush around and end up making a wedding dress for someone else.

Qiu Jinning was also pondering and remained silent. It was a good move to let Hong Shao replace Qin Chu's identity first, and it was also a dangerous move.

Another point, she thought of Hong Shao imitating her behavior everywhere in the past, and showing up in red clothes. Now that she thinks about it, there is something strange everywhere, maybe Hong Shao has a bigger plan.

Seeing that both of them were silent, Qin Chu coughed lightly and took out half of the jade pendant: "If it proves your identity, this jade pendant may be useful. It was specially left by my mother before she was alive.In case of disaster, you can take this half of the jade pendant to find the owner upstairs."

Princess Anguo glanced at the jade pendant, and her eyes lit up: "The boss upstairs! Yes, my mother and concubine had a close relationship with the boss upstairs in the early years, and they escaped from the palace only under the protection of Shanglou.It has been in business for many years, when Bai Luo promised not to expose Zhou Xie's identity, and voluntarily left Beijing incognito, she must have exchanged something with her mother and concubine, and this half of the jade pendant may be the key."

Back then, Bai Luo was still unwilling to leave the capital, and she had a secret talk with her mother and concubine before leaving on her own. With Bai Luo's temperament, she must have left her hole card to protect her children without worry.the hole card.

Seeing Princess Anguo's expression excited, Qiu Jinning said calmly: "You can let Qin Chu go upstairs first to confirm the usefulness of the jade pendant, and then decide whether to recognize Hong Shao's false identity, and one more thing, to find out the identity of Hong Shao.Which side."

Behind her is one of the three princes, or other forces, and even the current empress Zhou Xie.

Princess Anguo lowered her voice when she heard the words: "What is certain is that she is definitely not Queen Zhou Xie's person, because Zhou Xie's affairs were hidden from Zhou Xie. Although the Queen is suspicious now, she is also upright.A dark game."

And it took twenty years to be buried. Based on her understanding of Zhou Xie, she shouldn't do such a thing.

The three of them discussed again, and Princess Anguo told Qin Chu to send her a message in time if she had been upstairs before leaving in a hurry.

Qiu Jinning looked at Qin Chu, and said solemnly: "It's better not to delay this matter. I'll go to the boss upstairs after lunch, and I'll go with you."

"Okay." Qin Chu responded, walked over and rubbed Qiu Jinning's brows, "Don't frown, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, and nothing will happen. Isn't our Huangnu Miss Qiu here?"

Qiu Jinning curled her lips and smiled lightly: "I just love to be poor, then you got a big deal. The one who wins the Phoenix girl wins the world. If Miss Qin is in charge of the world in the future, don't forget the old man."

Qin Chu put his arms around her and squeezed her to sit down. The chair was spacious, and it was just enough for two people to sit next to each other.

She put her arms around Qiu Jinning's waist, leaned close to her ear, and said softly, "I'll tell you a secret, I already own the world, and you are my world."

The low voice, with a hint of a smile, fell on his ears, arousing a slight itch.

Qiu Jinning turned her head to the side, and poked Qin Chu's collar with her finger: "It's best, otherwise your world will run away."

"Run? Where do you want to go, I'll see where you run." Qin Chu grabbed Qiu Jinning's hands and pressed her against the back of the chair, his eyes were dark and his breathing was familiar.

"Let go, don't mess around-"

"Okay, let go-" Qin Chu raised his eyebrows, and said let go, but he lowered his head and pressed the corner of Qiu Jinning's lips.

"to speak"

See you at noon tomorrow~?
