Fair Lady

Qi Haoning continued to change clothes happily, while shaking his head to himself amusedly, did he get scared by those women outside, and his nerves were too tense?Chun Shi and the others have been waiting by her side since they were young, and they have always behaved well, so why would they have those out-of-the-ordinary thoughts?

The breakfast is simple, but exquisite and delicious, with minced meat porridge, three fresh buns, fried dumplings, fried eggs, and a pot of Michelle soy milk.

I don't know if it was because he was in a good mood, but Qi Haoning felt that today's breakfast was very delicious, and obviously used a lot more than before.

Dong Yi and the two little maidservants who were standing by the side had joyful expressions on their faces. The master liked to eat, which meant that they prepared well and were naturally happy.Suddenly, Dong Yi noticed that her family's son stopped his chopsticks, glanced thoughtfully at the dishes on the table, and frowned slightly.

Dong Yi's heart skipped a beat: what's wrong, which dish is wrong?

Just as she was carefully preparing to ask, Dongyi heard Qi Haoning muttering to herself: "Yao'er likes light food, and there are green vegetables."

Dong Yi almost couldn't hold back her laughter, took a deep breath, and said with a soft laugh: "Don't worry, when the concubine enters the door, the servants will definitely prepare meals according to the concubine's taste."

Now Zhiyuanyuan is the only master of the Shizi, and he has developed a dining habit in the army that does not like to be arranged, so there are not many dishes, but they are all the dishes that the Shizi likes.When the concubine Shizi enters the door, it is good to add the food that concubine Shizi likes, and put it on a table, just like the grandeur that should be in the courtyard of Prince Yong's mansion, isn't it?

Just go to another big family to see, which one doesn't have a dozen or twenty tricks on the breakfast table?Qi Yuexin and Qi Haoxiang were also in the palace.It's not the master who saves money and worry, the life of the concubine and concubine is even more luxurious than that of the real master, the son of the world, which makes Dong Yi really unhappy.

"Well," Qi Haoning smiled "suddenly", "When Yao'er gets married, everything will be arranged according to Yao'er's preferences. I like whatever Yao'er likes."

Qi Haoning's words made Dong Yi and the other three maids who had just walked in the door startled slightly. This concubine, who has not met yet, really wins the heart of the prince!Too.I heard from Luo's mother that the marriage was bestowed by the Shizi himself from the Queen Mother himself.

The three of Chunshi saluted Qi Haoning and stood aside. Since many years ago, Qi Haoning didn't like them getting too close, and even said that he didn't like the smell of makeup.Therefore, all the maids and maids in Zhiyuanyuan put on very light makeup, and they had to choose the one with the lightest taste, for fear of offending the prince.And generally.They tried not to go to Shizi's side together as few people as possible, in case the smell of makeup and powder was added together, and Shizi didn't like it.

Except in the morning before Shizi leaves the house and when Shizi returns home, the four maids usually come together to listen to orders.

Qi Haoning saw that the four maidservants had come, and said with a smile: "Have you all heard? You don't need to order me anymore, as soon as the concubine Shi Zi enters the door. If you have anything to do, you can ask the concubine Shi Zi, and everything is closely related to the needs of the concubine Shi Zi. No need I'm asking you, the concubine is your real master." The more Qi Haoning talked, the happier he became, as if tomorrow was the wedding day, and Shuyao was about to enter the house.

"Yes," the four maidservants quickly agreed in unison.

Qi Haoning suddenly thought of a joke a cousin made with him one day, and realized that the four maids who had been by his side since childhood were not too young, and the oldest Qiu Hua was as old as her.It seems to be seventeen or eighteen, and the smallest Dongyi should be sixteen.Wait for Shuyao to enter the door later.It happened to point them out about their marriage, which was not something he did alone.

"Hehe," Qi Haoning was in an unusually good mood today, and even joked about the four maidservants: "You have to curry favor with the concubine, so that I can show you a good marriage in the future, don't you? Don't worry, you have been serving the master for so many years. The Lord will ask the Crown Princess to prepare a dowry for each of you, and I will never treat you badly."

Dong Yi was the youngest, with tender skin, and said angrily with a flushed face: "My lord doesn't bring such a thing, you are in a hurry to welcome the concubine into the door, so you make fun of the servants."

Qiu Hua was secretly happy, she was going to be soon, and her parents were still nagging about her marriage a few days ago, although most of the maids were married when they were around 22 or [-] years old, but the son of the world has not yet settled on a marriage, and he looks displeased. You don't seem to be in a hurry, and you don't know when you are going to delay?Without a mistress, who is in charge of her marriage?Her whole family is slaves, parents don't have the qualifications, you can't expect the Queen Mother to think of them lowly slaves, right?

It's all right now, as long as the concubine Shizi enters the door, they will have the backbone, right?I heard that the girls in the Yongping Hou Mansion are kind-hearted and treat their servants well, and they are very lucky. With the words of the eldest son, they will definitely not treat them badly in the future, and will definitely point out a good marriage for them. Now Parents can rest assured, and they can wait with peace of mind. It is best to stay in the palace to be a mother.As Qiu Hua thought about it, her face became hotter and hotter.

Chun Shi and Xia Qing's hearts trembled, and their faces turned pale. They always thought that they would be the wife of the Shi Ziye sooner or later, but the Shi Ziye said that he obviously didn't intend to accept them.

Chun Shi kept shouting in her heart: Impossible, impossible, just now she was still thinking about how to please the Shi Ziye and Shi Zifei in the future, and gain a foothold in the palace. It is less than half an hour, how can...

No, that's not the case. The master just said this to the other three sisters, excluding her, she is different.

Right, that is it.The master respects the rules, and he values ​​the concubine so much. He definitely doesn't want so many concubines raised by the maids to hit the concubine in the face. The concubine will bring the maidservant over then, won't he?

Chunshi recalled the "gentle" explanation given to her by Shi Ziye in the morning, and she became more certain about her speculation. She slowly settled down, quickly regained her self-confidence, and began to look sympathetically at the three sisters who grew up with her. .

Xia Qing is the most depressed one. Her father used to be the steward of the dowry shop of the former princess. He accidentally broke a leg two years ago and was transferred to Zhuangzi to take care of the grain storehouse. An older brother and a younger brother are now following their parents in Zhuangzi. I did odd jobs here and never got a good job.

Now, the whole family pins their hopes on Xia Qing. As long as she really becomes the wife of the Shizi, their family's status in Zhuangzi will be different.Maybe the whole family can go back to the palace to work as errands, maybe the eldest brother and younger brother can get a big steward.

But now, Shi Ziye said that he would let Shi Zifei marry them off... Xia Qing seemed to see the disappointed expressions of his parents and brothers.

Qi Haoning was just joking casually. After he finished another steamed stuffed bun, he raised his head and wiped his mouth with his hands, only to see the faces of the four maidservants with different colors, and laughed loudly: "It's true that girls don't want to be kept, do you want to be so excited? Okay, I'll talk to Yao'er in a while. Let her pay attention to you in the future, hahaha, Yunxiao, you have to remember to remind me." After speaking, he turned and went out, and joked to Yunxiao who was waiting at the door.

Yun Xiao curled his lips, thinking that everyone was as eager to get engaged as he was as he had made his wish.He had just glanced back.Just seeing Xia Qing's pale face, how could she be "excited"?There is also that Chun Shi, who has always regarded herself as "the woman of the eldest son", and kept talking about "our palace" and "our Zhiyuan garden". How could she want to marry another marriage?

After leaving Zhiyuan Garden, the master is still very wary of women.But once you get back to your own yard, why are you "stupid"?Wouldn't the maid who had been serving her since she was a child have unreasonable thoughts?In fact, in ordinary big families.Many concubines are raised from the close-fitting maids, and the moon is the first to be close to the water.It's just that Prince Yong's side concubine and Ji concubine were either political marriages or gifts from the elders, and they were not lifted up from the maids, so the son of the world did not have this awareness.

Qi Haoning was really right by Yun Xiao, in his mind, a maid is a maid.The master is the master.For those who have served him since childhood, he can treat them better.You can also arrange a good marriage for them and give them a decent dowry, but you never thought of turning them into your own women, otherwise it would be strange?

But right now he really doesn't have time to think about any women other than his own Yao'er, so he rushed to Yongping Hou Mansion excitedly, but he didn't see Shuyao in Mrs. Jin's yard.

Shujie smiled and said: "Yao'er finished her breakfast and went back to Mingyue Garden to wash and change clothes, and she will be here in a while, Ning'er, wait for a while."

When Hao Ning heard that Shujie called him Ning'er affectionately instead of "Ning Shizi", he really felt comfortable all over his body, and he was at ease everywhere. Does this mean that he regards him as his own family?

"Yes, brother, it's still early, don't worry." Hao Ning replied respectfully.

Nangong Miao saw that these two people looked eager to recognize their relatives, it was really funny, there is no need to change the lipstick bag!

Because she was going to enter the palace to thank her, Shuyao also started preparations early on, and did not make Qi Haoning wait too long.When Shuyao appeared at the entrance of the hall, everyone's eyes lit up.

Today Shuyao is wearing a long cherry red dress with wide sleeves, the cuffs are embroidered with dense cloud patterns, the waist is pinched and the jade belt is floating, and the flying fairy bun is high, revealing the beautiful jade neck. Emerald Ruyi hairpin is also donated a delicate rose flower, the willow eyebrows are graceful and agile, the cherry mouth is lightly sipped, it is as bright as the rose flower on her hair bun, and like a fairy falling into the mortal world.

Most of Shuyao's clothes are light on weekdays, and occasionally she is a little "gorgeous" like today, which makes people very surprised. Shujie and Nangong Miao are proud of their praise, and Mrs. Jin is also proud of "I have a girl who has grown up in my family". .

Qi Haoning's eyes couldn't bear to leave his fiancée a few steps away for a moment, and secretly sighed: Yao'er is so beautiful!Moreover, her temperament is ever-changing. She wears plain clothes on weekdays, showing a noble and elegant posture, while a slightly brighter dress is another kind of charming and noble demeanor...

"Ahem," Shujie looked at his brother-in-law-to-be who was already "as if no one was around" with a funny face, and had to remind him, "It's almost time, let's go."

Qi Haoning, who came back to his senses, blushed in embarrassment, and secretly scolded himself for being too out of control.He hurriedly said: "Yes, grandma, eldest brother and sister-in-law, we are leaving, and I will send Yao'er back later."

Shujie smiled and nodded: "Go."

Shuyao brought Liu Mama, Lan Jin and Zi Jin, and the two new maids, Mei Jin and Zhu Jin, were studying palace rules, so they didn't go with her this time.

Of course, Xiaoguai and Huohuo are indispensable "followers" every time they enter the palace. Not only the fourth princess and Princess Yue are worried about it, but the queen mother will also talk about it, and even the emperor will "pass on" when he happens to be free. These two guys are going to the royal study.

Haoning and Shuyao walked in front, and the others consciously fell a certain distance.

"Yao'er," Qi Haoning called softly.

"Huh?" Shu Yao also responded softly.

"You are so pretty"

"..."

"Yaoer,"

"Ok?"

"We're finally engaged, haha"

"..." Shuyao's hair was full of black lines, and she bestowed a marriage order. Has this son become stupid?

"Yaoer,"

"Huh?" Shuyao replied helplessly, thinking "If you keep barking, I really won't pay attention to you".

"I will treat you well, forever." Every time Qi Haoning said "forever", Shuyao could feel his tone was particularly firm, and could not help but be infected by his emotions.

Shuyao was stunned for a moment, then said softly but firmly: "The gentleman is the rock, and the concubine is the puwei."

Qi Haoning's voice was warm and powerful: "Pampas grass is like silk, and rocks can't be moved."

The two looked at each other, seeing sweetness and firmness in each other's eyes.

Shuyao said in her heart: Brother Ning, I will trust you, if you never leave, I will depend on you for life and death.I hope that because of you, I will not repeat the sorrow of my previous life.

Qi Haoning personally helped Shuyao into the carriage, got on the horse by himself, and guarded the carriage.Looking at his master who was full of happiness and tenderness on his face, and his brows and eyes full of spring, the corners of Yun Xiao's mouth twitched again: The son has a fiancée and everything is full!He really doubted, would you still be willing to leave the capital and go to Guangdong?

After traveling for half an hour, the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace.Qi Haoning handed the horse to Yunxiao, and rushed over to help Shuyao get off the carriage.In fact, he wanted to hug Shuyao very much, but he was afraid that his beloved little person would be abrupt, Yaoer seemed to be very shy and thin-skinned.

After getting off the carriage, Shuyao saw two sedan chairs coming up, and a cart with a green canopy, which was sent by the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and the leading maid, Qi Haoning, and Shuyao both knew each other.

The maid bowed her knees and saluted: "Greetings to Ning Shizi and Miss Xia, the Empress Dowager is worried about the heat, so she asked the slaves to wait here."

Shu Yao quickly thanked her, Qi Haoning watched Xiao Guai and Huo Huo "consciously" climbed onto the green scooter, lazily nestled there, and laughed loudly: "These two are smart, they know that the car is prepared for them."

Shu Yao also laughed softly: "Now everyone knows that they are afraid of the heat, and they want to stay still when summer comes. It is very rare to be willing to enter the palace. Hehe, only the emperor and the empress dowager can let them move. "

Xiaoguai and Huohuo are "visited guests", and they still swagger and play big names when they enter the palace. If people see the jade plaques on their necks at a glance, how can they dare to stop them?It deserves to be bitten to death, and killing them in self-defense is a capital offense.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the two of them arrived at the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and Shuyao saw the Fourth Princess and Princess Yue who were waiting with their necks outstretched, and smiled.There is another unexpected harvest in this life, which is to become best friends with these two noble guests.The longer the contact time, the more Shuyao likes them, they are not overbearing at all, and they don't have a heart with twists and turns.

The three girls happily walked towards the main hall, completely forgetting that there was another Qi Haoning.

Qi Haoning shook his head amusedly, and was about to follow when he heard a timid call: "Shizi Ning, stay a step."

Looking back, it was Sima Yan who was dressed in delicate pink, and said curiously: "Master Yan, what's the matter?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is My biggest motivation.)
