Luo nine needles

Chapter 204
The maid felt that going to the banquet to appreciate the plum blossoms this time was like a nightmare.

Fortunately, apart from the one glance at each other on the platform and the two conversations, the young lady and that Qi Xing had no further contact.

The Merlin in the Princess House is very big, and the girls quickly dispersed, and they were accompanied by familiar sisters.

Miss Xiahou was with her friends, and Qixing was also with the girls of the Zhai family. During this period, Qixing stayed with the fifth princess to measure the size of her clothes. Because the West Mountain is far away, the ladies left in the afternoon.

It wasn't until she was sitting in her own carriage that the servant girl breathed a sigh of relief, but she was worried and raised the curtain to peek out.

Miss Xiahou sat crookedly and beat her legs and feet with a jade hammer. She was still very tired from walking around in the plum grove. Seeing the maidservant's movements, she scolded: "It's not a thief, what are you afraid of!"

The maid retracted her eyes and sat down: "Miss, you have to be careful, she might follow up on the road."

Miss Xia Hou said: "Then even if you go home, she can still knock on the door."

The maid was startled, yes.

Miss Xia Hou threw the jade hammer into her arms, and said with a smile: "Don't scare yourself, she is not a promiscuous person, she asked Xucheng Linglongfang to be willing to open a branch in the capital for her, and asked the Zhai family to trust her as a guest." Wait, the fifth son-in-law dares to recommend the building of the Royal Star Pavilion, and the fifth princess will personally invite the guests."

Her voice was light, and she looked at the maidservant.

"Don't worry, she can already stand in front of me and make puns and jokes, she won't come to have any unseemly entanglement with me."

The servant girl was in a trance. Is this kind of person the poor orphan girl that Mr. Lu San said was helpless in his foster home?

"Maybe she used to be." Miss Xiahou said, looking at the shaking car curtain, "but not now."

The maid clenched her hands, not only did she not feel at ease after hearing this, but her heart sank even more.

"Don't think too much, I don't want to be disrespectful." Miss Xiahou said, "She doesn't even want to, she won't embarrass me in front of others, it won't do her any good."

Just now in the princess's courtyard, Qi Xing didn't deliberately get along with her, and even she had a strange idea, Miss Qi Xing didn't even look at her...
She didn't seem to care about her at all.

……

……

"The princess's other courtyard is really beautiful."

Fourth Miss Zhai half-lyed on the leading pillow, and sighed again.

Ms. Zhai San hugged the plum blossom given by the princess in her arms, and said, "That is the royal courtyard. The emperor gave it to the princess when the princess got married."

Fourth Miss Zhai got up and hugged Qi Xing's arm, and said with a smile, "Thanks to Ah Qi, we can also enter and leave the Princess's Courtyard."

Originally, the Zhai family could only play with the concubines when they went to the Jiang family, but later they were able to hang out with Miss Jiang's main house, and now they can also enter and leave the princess mansion.

"Then I told Third Sister that the ones you can choose are much better than the original ones."

Ms. Zhai San snorted: "What are you talking about?"

It can be seen that now Qi Xing is really regarded as a close friend in the boudoir, and such things can be said freely.

Seven Star patted Miss Zhai Si on the arm: "In that case, if you sisters are close friends, come to Linglong Square for the dowry."

These words made even Miss Zhai bend over with a smile in her arms.

With laughter, the chariots and horses were brisk, and soon approached the city gate. As dusk fell, there were many people going in and out of the city gate, and the chariots and horses moved slowly.

"I'll come down here." Qixing said suddenly.

Ms. Zhai San was puzzled: "What? We picked you up and sent you home naturally."

Qixing said with a smile, "I'll make a plum blossom dress for the princess. I need to buy some needlework. I'm shopping on the street."

If they directly said which shop, they would send her there. She said she wanted to go shopping, so there was no way to send her off. She went to the banquet at the princess's house. The elders in the family were concerned, and they had to go back early.

The ladies of the Zhai family didn't push any further, they said goodbye some other day, and watched Qixing get off the carriage.

It was faster to walk through the city gate, but Qi Xing, who was shuttled among the chariots and horses, suddenly heard a shout.

"Stand."

Qixing stopped and followed the prestige. At this time, other people at the city gate were also looking, and even the soldiers and guards who were checking looked shocked and turned their heads...
Zhang Yuan, who was leaning against the city wall as if sleeping, stood up straight, opened his eyes and looked at Qixing.

Qixing looked at him without any fear or uneasiness, just puzzled: "Master, I..."

Zhang Yuan pointed aside: "Didn't you see the queue? Why are you walking around?"

Qixing snorted, lowered her head and took a step back, standing behind a carriage.

Still in line?The other pedestrians were a little puzzled.

Now entering and leaving the city except for carrying prohibited weapons, the others are not checked. The guards are more concerned with maintaining order and avoiding congestion at the city gate.

The city gate is wide and there is actually no congestion, but it seems that there are more people and cars.

To line up ah.

The guard was unshaven, his military robe was crooked, his eyes were red, and he stared frighteningly.

Other pedestrians who were about to pass through the carriages also quietly moved into the queue.

Seeing the woman standing behind the chariots and horses, followed the queue quickly through the city gate, Zhang Yuan didn't say anything, and closed his eyes again, it seemed that he was the only one suffering from hysteria.

"Old Zhang, what are you doing?" A military guard was a little amused, "I have never seen you so diligent before."

Since returning after running for a long time, Zhang Yuan did not run away from work, but he looked like a broken can, and he just leaned against the city wall to nap every day, and went to drink when he did not guard the city wall, and was drunk for half a day.

What is going crazy today, and even berated people to line up.

It doesn't matter if people line up or not.

Zhang Yuan lowered his eyelids and snorted from his nose: "Looking at her stupid appearance, she can't walk."

What stupid look?They also took a look just now, she was clearly a good-looking woman, and her features were well-behaved, Lao Zhang must have thought that she was easy to bully, really...

Zhang Yuan closed his eyes again, what do you know, a woman cheated by a man is not clear-headed, so she has to curse a few more words.

……

……

Qixing walked out of the city gate, looked back, seemed a little puzzled, and then continued to walk forward, walking along the street while shopping in various sewing and grocery stores.

When he didn't know which store he entered, the shop assistant said with a smile: "Girl, we have better needlework behind us. See if you like it."

Qixing glanced at him: "Okay." Sure enough, he walked back.

This shop is not big, with a shed and shelves in the yard. At this time, there is a table next to the shelves, and someone is sitting and drinking tea.

Qixing walked over and saluted, "Master Liu."

Liu Yan held the teacup and looked at her, and said, "You got out of the car halfway, did you notice that someone was following you?"

Qixing nodded, no matter around Linglongfang or her daily travels, there were spies following her, but she knew who they were, the rich man's people, and Duchasi's people.

But today there is more strangeness.

"In order to avoid implicating the innocent young lady, I got out of the car and walked to see what's the purpose." Qi Xing continued, "It turned out to be Lord Liu."

What's more, he didn't expect Master Liu to meet her directly after finding out that she was aware of it.

She looked at Liu Yan: "As expected, my lord has recognized my identity."

Liu Yan held the teacup and lowered his eyes, as if in a trance, suddenly asked: "Your name is Qixing?"

Seven Star said: "Yes."

What does the name mean?Didn't he already know?As in the habit of hearing cases in court?
Liu Yan looked up at her: "Is this the name your mother gave you?"

Also asked who gave it the name, Qixing frowned slightly, this was the first time he had seen such a question.

"No." She shook her head, "It was started by my father."

Liu Yan held the teacup in a daze: "So it was named by my father, so there is no use for the name Jiuzheng."

This sentence is not a question, but just talking to himself, but a woman's answer suddenly sounded in his ear.

"It's used." She said, "My sister's name is Jiuzheng."
