Qin Jiaoxi was satisfied after eating and drinking.
But more importantly, she found that the regent's attitude towards her had improved.
At least he doesn't refuse to call her "Dad" anymore.
Qin Jiaoxi: "Dad!"
Meng Yinqin's eyes softened and he turned around and said, "What's the matter?"
Qin Jiaoxi smiled like a little fox: "Xi'er is so happy today!"
Meng Yinqin had a doting look on her face, and just as she was about to touch her little head, she heard mutterings coming from several tables on Prime Minister Qin's side.
"Speaking of it, how many years of hard work did it take for a legitimate daughter of the Qin Prime Minister's Mansion to become as accomplished as she is today? But with this imperial edict—oh!"
"Thank you, General, for still respecting him so much. What's the difference between this and robbing someone's children?"
"Otherwise, can Prime Minister Qin still be able to resist?"
"I'm afraid that child is also a white-eyed wolf. You see her chatting happily with the regent. How can she show any signs of sadness at leaving her parents?"
Amidst the singing and dancing, Qin Jiaoxi heard this discussion without lowering his voice.
She slowly turned her head and saw an old minister who had always had close contacts with Prime Minister Qin's Mansion said sternly:
"Hmph, I have known for a long time that the daughter-in-law of Prime Minister Qin's Mansion is a perverse and domineering person. She has made many mistakes since she was a child and was frequently grounded. Later, she probably became impatient with being locked up, so she looked for a way out!"
"That's right, I heard that I really went to the regent's palace to recognize my father, and I almost died there!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, isn't this just forcing her to die? Do you mean to say that the white-eyed wolf is forcing the regent to recognize her as his daughter?"
"..."
It was good to hear the first half of the discussion, Meng Yinqin's eyes were calm.
But when the second half of the discussion came up, his eyes were filled with ice.
At the table in Prime Minister Qin's Mansion, Mrs. Qin had regained her composure, and with a simple, elegant and cold face, Shi Shiran sat and watched the dance carefully.
But Meng Yinqin knew that this discussion must have something to do with her.
"Someone is coming!"
Meng Yinqin called his subordinates and whispered something.
Qin Jiaoxi on the side quickly pricked up his ears, but he didn't hear a word and couldn't help but feel discouraged.
She wasn't worried about what others would say about her. After all, she didn't have a good reputation after being grounded for so many years.
But if this affects her father's heroic image, wouldn't she bring her father into trouble?
The rare good mood just disappeared.
Qin Jiaoxi turned his eyes slightly gloomily and subconsciously looked towards the opposite side.
Bo Jiming, who was drinking with Shang Boyan, seemed to feel something, and suddenly turned his head and met Qin Jiaoxi's eyes.
He turned the cup towards Qin Jiaoxi and raised it:
"Girl, congratulations!"
Congratulations to her for finally taking the first step and leaving the Regent's Palace.
Qin Jiaoxi couldn't see clearly what he said, but his gesture of raising the glass was clear, and his face immediately turned red.
Meng Yinqin followed her gaze with sharp eyes and glanced in that direction, and suddenly his eyes flashed:
"Is it him?"
That day, the young man who helped him save Xi'er on the street at the back gate of the Regent's Palace - was actually from a merchant?
No, isn't your name Bo Jiming?
Merchant...surnamed Bo...
Mengyin Qin slapped his thigh fiercely: "Shang Yin?"
Qin Jiaoxi blinked: "Dad, what are you talking about?"
Meng Yinqin glanced at her and hesitated for two seconds: "The person who toasted with you just now is the young man who saved you a few days ago. You also recognized him, right?"
There was no need to hide this matter, Qin Jiaoxi nodded.
Meng Yinqin looked serious and said, "Jiaoxi, you have to stay away from him!"
