Fair Lady

The moonlight is as clear as water, and Qi Haoning's heart is as cold as this bright moon.

The clear moonlight is full of a kind of moist sadness, like slow flowing water, a kind of silent flow, and there is a faint feeling of trembling. Such moonlight covers the entire yard of the post station and falls on the body. , caged in my heart, with a different kind of melancholy...

Yun Xiao took a black brocade cloak and put it on Qi Haoning's body: "Master, it's still very cold at night, you should go to bed early, you have to go on your way tomorrow."

Qi Haoning said "hmm": "You guys go to bed first, I'll stand for a while, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight."

Yun Xiao shook his head helplessly, helped Qi Haoning make the bed, and retreated to the outside room.The son of the world has been coaxed by Concubine Zhao for so many years, is he depressed?Concubine Zhao is still thinking about the Sai people coming over, really... so angry and funny!Grandpa is no longer that lonely boy who listens to her.

Three days ago, the night before Qi Haoning's departure, Concubine Zhao brought Qi Yuexin and Qi Haoxiang to Qi Haoning's yard, and staged a "Loving Mother".

Concubine Zhao said in a panic as soon as she entered the door: "Ning'er, are you going to the south? There are many pirates and bandits in Guangdong City, no, it's so dangerous, Ning'er, you can't go!"

Qi Haoning put down the pen in his hand, with a smile that was not a smile: "Dangerous? It's not like this son has never encountered it. Besides, this is the request of the father. Concubine Zhao, are you going to persuade the father?"

Concubine Zhao choked, how could she persuade the prince?The prince let her preside over the Zhongfu because she was the cousin of the former concubine and loved to take care of Qi Haoning, but he never mentioned the matter of rectification.He never took her "pillow sex" seriously, and even stared at her suspiciously when she talked too much, which made her feel guilty involuntarily.

After the lord went to the Southwest, the letters were all for Qi Haoning and Qi Yueling brothers and sisters, and occasionally a few words to her were just a hasty announcement that she was safe and asked her to take care of the house and take care of several children.

She figured it out years ago, even with her cousin dead.She can't take the place of her cousin either.Therefore, she had to rely on herself to plan for her mother and son.

She has been taking advantage of Qi Haoning's trust in her, preparing to raise him disabled, and at the same time, using his hand to push her children, when the time comes, Qi Haoxiang's throne and Prince Yong's mansion will all belong to Qi Haoxiang.People like Prince Yong would never pass on the position of prince to an incompetent, withdrawn and violent dude.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother was very alert.The order was issued to take away the contracts of sale from all the people in Qi Haoning's yard, and also handed over all the affairs in the yard to the former princess's personal maid, Mother Luo.Although she is in charge of the central government, the servants in Qi Haoning's yard don't agree with her, and she dare not withhold their monthly money, because the queen mother will call mother Luo into the palace from time to time.

As Qi Haoning grew up, she found that he no longer accepted all his "teachings" to her without any doubts.In addition, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor will never forget Qi Haoning, so they have to sneak away to ask questions and test them every now and then.Her "retirement plan" is getting harder and harder.

Concubine Zhao was afraid that Qi Haoning would become more and more uncontrollable when he grew up, so she became murderous, and took advantage of the opportunity of Qi Haoning's sneaking to the southwest to buy the murderer.As long as Qi Haoning is dead, and the Queen Mother looks down on the young master born to Concubine Tian, ​​how can she not value her Qi Haoxiang?

Unexpectedly, the so-called top killer didn't kill Qi Haoning, but he himself died.But Qi Haoning's attitude towards their mother and son has undergone an unexpected big change. He used to call her "Aunt Qian".Now it's the cold "Zhao side concubine", what else did the empress dowager say.He has grown up and is incorruptible...

She could almost feel that Qi Haoning knew the truth.

But Qi Haoning didn't act too aggressively, he just treated them indifferently, making it impossible for her to investigate.

Concubine Zhao didn't want Qi Haoning to go to the south, she didn't know if it wasn't under her nose, and Qi Haoning's father, son, brother and sister were not in the mansion, Prince Yong's mansion, she and her children really became a forgotten corner.

Of course, it's useless for her to talk, so Qi Haoning can only ask the queen mother, the emperor, and quarrel with the prince.Now... Qi Haoning asked her if she was going to persuade the prince?

"I..." If she could convince the prince, she would have killed this little bitch who blocked her son's way.

"Second brother, the emperor's grandmother loves you the most. Go beg the emperor's grandmother and the emperor's uncle. If they don't want you, you won't get up. Second brother, the father and king are so far away, there is nothing you can do if you don't go to him." Qi Yuexin pulled Holding Qi Haoning's sleeves and acting like a baby, the concubine mother said that only the second brother can help her ask the emperor's grandmother for a good marriage. The second brother went to the south and doesn't know when he will come back. What should she do?

Qi Haoning felt a pain in his heart, why did he think this younger sister was cute and close to him?

With one hand, he brushed off Qi Yuexin's hand that was grabbing her sleeve, and Qi Haoning's voice was icy incompatible with his age: "Zhao Concubine should spend a lot of time teaching the eldest sister. go out……"

Concubine Zhao was startled, she was thinking that Qi Yuexin was smart, and now she realized that if this word got out, would Qi Yuexin still want to marry?

Glancing at Mother Luo, Yun Xiao, and the two maids waiting in the room, Concubine Zhao ordered: "You all go out, and be strict with me, like..." Suddenly, she saw the corners of Qi Haoning's mouth curled up. Sarcasm, and...Mother Luo and the others remained motionless, with no trace of panic on their faces.

Concubine Zhao's body trembled, how could she have forgotten that the people in this courtyard did not obey her orders at all.

Qi Yuexin and Qi Haoxiang were also frightened by Qi Haoning's cold tone and the mockery on his face, and quietly hid behind their mother and concubine.The second brother has really changed, it was not like this before!In the past, he listened to his mother and concubine very much, and loved their siblings very much. As long as Qi Yuexin acted like a baby like before, the second elder brother would laugh and respond, and at most would say angrily: "You are the only girl with a lot of tricks!"

"Okay, Concubine Zhao, please go back. I have to leave early tomorrow morning, so I should rest early tonight." After all, Qi Haoning is only a 15-year-old boy, he is not good at acting, and for so many years he has really treated this mother and child three times. It is really difficult to restrain the anger facing them as close relatives, and this is one of the reasons why Prince Yong wanted him to leave the capital.

Concubine Zhao secretly took a few deep breaths.He stared at Qi Haoning closely, as if he wanted to see something on his face. The person who grew up in front of her for so many years suddenly became very strange. The childish but cold face at the moment made people Can't see through.

After finally forcing herself to regain her "loving, reluctant" smile, Concubine Zhao said, "Xin'er just doesn't want to part with you. How could she not know that her father's order cannot be violated? You go so far alone, no one knows what's cold and what's hot How can I take good care of you? Aunt Qian is really worried. Well, Aunt Qian has found you a flexible and sensible maid. Take her with you, and someone will take care of you. Rou'er, come in."

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl walked in the door, with bright eyes and white teeth, skin like a shelled egg, and a slender waist like a weak willow Fufeng.The well-developed chest stands tall.

"Rou'er has met the son of the world." The maid's voice is also beautiful, like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley, and her eyes are still "timidly" drifting towards Qi Haoning when saluting, infinitely seductive.

Mother Luo, with her head down halfway, glanced at Qi Haoning worriedly. The eldest son has just turned 15 years old. What is Zhao side concubine's intention in bringing a vicious girl to the eldest son's side?People entering this courtyard have to pass the empress dowager to nod.Concubine Zhao actually wanted to take advantage of this time to put people around her son?

Qi Haoning's face became even colder: "Father said, I'm going to exercise. Not to enjoy the blessings, and even Luo's mother won't let me take it. Not to mention the important military camp, how can such a maid appear? I heard General Haiyong As I said, only after a big victory will some young women be released into the soldiers' camp, and those are all military prostitutes registered by the government."

Rou'er's uneven body immediately trembled, and she looked at Concubine Zhao imploringly.This son is not very old, but his eyes are too scary.She doesn't want to be a military prostitute.

Concubine Zhao hurriedly said: "What's wrong with you? You are the son of Prince Yong, who would dare..."

Qi Haoning interrupted her with a wave of his hand: "Uncle Huang asked me to follow General Haiyong and start as a soldier, but he didn't give me any privileges. Should I listen to Uncle Huang or side concubine Zhao?"

"Of course..." According to the emperor, what is an unfavored prince and side concubine to her?

No, it's not that simple!She didn't believe that there were no maids in General Haiyong's mansion.

Even if Qi Haoning started as a soldier and often had to stay in the barracks, General Haiyong would definitely prepare another residence for him in his own general's mansion or outside, how could it be so harsh?

Qi Haoning's words, deeds, and reactions tonight were all to guard against her. What did he know?Concubine Zhao felt that she was going to go crazy if she kept guessing in a cloud like this.But she didn't dare to make a big fuss. If the incident really happened, would she still be alive?

No, it's impossible, Concubine Zhao reconsidered and firmly denied it.As for Qi Haoning's quick temper, if he really knew, he would have settled with her long ago.It should be just suspicion through some clues!The Queen Mother has always been on guard against her, always influencing Qi Haoning.

Concubine Zhao really hates her. My cousin is a prostitute, and she is also a prostitute. Is her appearance and temperament inferior to that of her cousin?Why is the cousin a treasure and a good daughter-in-law in the eyes of the prince and the queen mother, but she is a grass, and her children are not valued?Aren't they the flesh and blood of the prince?

Just as she was thinking about whether to ask "Why?" or "What's wrong with you?", Concubine Zhao heard Qi Haoning say coldly: "Mother Luo, after I leave, no one else is allowed except the people in this yard." Enter this courtyard, if you have any questions, you can go to the imperial grandmother."

Side Concubine Zhao wisely shut up, she knew that the suspicion in Qi Haoning's heart must be a big knot, and if the entanglement continued, if there was a big trouble, it might really prompt the Queen Mother and the Emperor to investigate the truth.It's better to let it go first, she still adopts the earliest strategy, caring more about him, so that he can restore his trust in her, and let time fade Qi Haoning's suspicion.Of course, it would be even better if Qi Haoning could die in Guangdong City.

……

After standing by the window for a long time, the moonlight was still like water. On this not-so-dark night, Qi Haoning, who had been turning back and forth in his heart, gradually calmed down. In fact, he should be lucky, right?Did not continue to be blinded.Even though that chase almost took his life, it made him wake up, hehe, he was able to wake up alive, I have to thank the little girl who winked at him.

The bright moonlight is smiling in the sky... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
