Love on the Pillow: Pampering the Unscrupulous Queen

Chapter 5

"Sister-in-law's absurd." Su Qing chuckled, but she didn't see anyone else in the room when she turned her head. She couldn't help asking, "Where are mother, brother and father?"

Mrs. Su smiled, and pulled her to sit beside her: "The old master told them to go to the study, but they should be back soon. Second daughter-in-law, come and sit down too."

Xia Yi nodded with a smile, and walked over with her two daughters, one hand at a time, and sat down beside her.

Su Qing's sister-in-law saw the two little guys, and she liked them too, so she played with them beside her.

Although she has been married to Su Qing's eldest brother for many years, she has never had any children.Su Qing's elder brother was very firm and said that he would not take concubines, so Mrs. Su could only endure it.She knew that if she wanted to hold her grandson, she had to look at Su He's family. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seemed to be harmonious on the surface.

"I just saw the peony flower on Li'er's head. I didn't see it clearly. I thought it was a real flower on her. I was still wondering why there were peony flowers in March. I only saw it under the lamp at this moment. It's clear, it turned out to be a jade flower. If it wasn't a craftsman in the palace, how could he have such skill?" Xia Yi looked at the peony on Su Qing's head before laughing.

Mrs. Su smiled slightly: "Second Aunt has a good eye, this is what the Empress Dowager bestowed on Li'er when I entered the palace today."

Xia Yi followed Mrs. Su and said, "The Empress Dowager really loves Li'er."

"Speaking of which, I remembered that there was a little white dog at my mother's place." Su He covered her lips and smiled lightly, "That little dog is also spiritual, and it is very funny that it can learn how to bow like a human. I heard that it is the prince. His Highness sent someone to give it to Li'er?"

Su Qing pursed her lips slightly, and was about to speak when she saw Su Xuerou walking into the room with her little girl, still with a timid expression on her face, as if she was used to being bullied and standing in the corner next to her.

She secretly looked at Su Qing with her eyes open, hoping that she could pull herself to sit in the crowd as before.But Su Qing kept talking to Mrs. Su and the two little guys, without even looking at her.

At this time, a large group of people walked in unhurriedly.

A seventy-year-old man in his seventies, wearing a soap-colored golden brocade leather jacket and a belt with Buddha's head and green dragon and phoenix pattern around his waist, walked in front of the crowd.It was Su Guogong, the elder brother of the Empress Dowager Su.On Su Guogong's left is a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue brocade gown. The man has a resolute face. He is Su Qing's father, Su Fuguo.

Behind Su Fuguo was a young man in a Chu color ten-pattern brocade jacket. The young man was handsome and handsome, and his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Su Qing. It was her eldest brother Su Lang.

Su Lang saw Su Qing who was also outstanding in the crowd at a glance, and couldn't help laughing: "I haven't seen you in the past two or three months, but it's an eighteenth female college student. Li'er has become a big brother and I can't even recognize her."

Su Qing felt her throat was a little choked, she sniffed her nose lightly, then turned around and grabbed Madam Su's sleeve and said coquettishly: "Mother, look at my brother, he will talk about me as soon as he comes home! Hurry up and hit him a few times!" I vent."

Su Lang immediately begged for mercy: "My good sister, I was wrong. You must not invite mother. Mother is too skilled, I can't beat her."

Immediately, everyone laughed.

Su Langchong's own sister is also well-known in the capital, because he is ten years older than Su Qing, and Su Qing can almost be said to be brought up by him alone, so the bond between siblings is naturally no different than others.

When the old man saw that everyone had arrived, he ordered everyone to sit down and start the banquet.The men sat at a table, and the women sat at a table.I don't know if it was intentional, but Su Xuerou happened to have an empty seat on the left and right, making it even more pitiful to watch.

"Li'er, my brother shot and killed this venison in the hunting ground today, you have to taste more later." Su Lang smiled and said to Su Qing, "I also hunted a few roe deer and roe deer as a gift. In your small kitchen, you order someone to make it for you to eat. If you like it, brother will hunt it down for you next time."

Mrs. Su cast a reproachful look at her son: "It's the beginning of spring, and it's easy to get angry, and you still hunt for these."

Su Qing tasted the venison, and it was really tender and delicious, and she smiled unconsciously: "The taste of this venison is really good."

"Eldest sister and brother have such a good relationship." Su Xuerou suddenly put down her chopsticks and said something without thinking.

The atmosphere on the table suddenly froze.

"Girl Xue is getting jealous. I'll send some wild game to your yard tomorrow." Su Qing glanced at her and said calmly.

Su Xuerou blushed immediately, but was speechless.Su Qing said this as if her eyelids were so shallow that she could only see the game, but in front of everyone, she didn't have the courage to refute Su Qing's words.After all, there was a Mrs. Su sitting next to her at the main seat!

The old lady of the Su family left early, and now in the main house of the Su family, Mrs. Su, as the eldest daughter-in-law, although she can't decide everything, she can still be half of the master.

Although Su Xuerou had the guts to say a few harsh words, she didn't have the guts to provoke Su Qing directly.

Mrs. Su seemed not to have heard Su Xuerou's words, she turned her head to Su Qing and said, "Li'er, when the Queen Mother invites you into the palace tomorrow, Mother will not accompany you. You have to be careful in everything, you understand?"

Su Qing froze for a moment, then nodded, lowering her beautiful eyes: "Li'er knows."

Su Xuerou next to her heard this, and her fingers holding the ivory chopsticks turned white with so much jealousy.The people at the table were almost all good people, and everyone could see the unconcealed jealousy on Su Xuerou's face, and couldn't help shaking their heads slightly.

People like her can grow up in the General's Mansion smoothly, it can only be said that Mrs. Su really doesn't take her seriously.

Otherwise, there would be an untold number of young ladies from such backgrounds dying every year in the compound of the deep house.

After the dinner, it was already five o'clock.

On a night in early spring, the wind and frost were heavy.

The servant took a black cloak and put it on Su Qing's shoulders, and helped her into the sedan chair.

"It's dark at night, the people who carry the sedan chair walk slowly, and be careful not to bump the eldest lady." Mrs. Su rushed out and told the women who carried the sedan chair.

Su Qing lifted the curtain beside the sedan chair, and said with a smile: "The people around me are all carefully selected by you, mother, so how could it be unsafe? Go back and take care of father, and don't let him drink too much again."

Mrs. Su nodded, and then returned to the room after a few more instructions.

Su Qing drank two glasses of sake at the banquet, and at this moment, being blown by the night wind, she felt drunk, and her mind was a bit dazed.She didn't know that those wives carried her back to Chu Fengyuan, let Shi Shu and Shi Qin take her back to the bedroom, and went to sleep after a simple grooming.

Shi Qin carefully tucked the brocade quilt, exited the room and closed the door gently, then frowned and asked: "Miss never likes to drink, why are you drunk today?"

The waiter also looked puzzled: "Speaking of which, I always feel that Miss is acting weird today. It seems that she has been in a bad mood since she came back in the afternoon. Didn't you go out with Miss in the afternoon? You don't know why Miss is in a bad mood ?”

Shi Qin shook her head and lit a glazed lantern: "In the afternoon, there was a little girl who bumped into Miss, and was punished by Miss. In the evening, Miss asked me to visit that girl again, and also invited a doctor to take medicine."

Both of them were at a loss, and finally Shiqin said: "Forget it, I'll be on duty at night. If Miss is thirsty, I can also pour tea. You go back and rest first."

The servant yawned and nodded: "I'll replace you in the second half of the night." Then he turned and walked towards the corridor.

Shi Qin carefully switched the two lights at the door to make them brighter.Then he entered the room by himself, sat down on the couch outside, lit a small lamp, found out his sewing basket and began to do some sewing.
