Rebirth of the original wife

Chapter 52

She doesn't know how to massage, but when she was at home, Li Zhongqing got up and went home and couldn't sleep all night. Liu Shi didn't know where she learned the massage method and gave her a massage. At that time, Li Zhongqing always praised with a smile, "Yu Niang , Fortunately, I have you, otherwise I would be the same as Lord Shangshu, and Lord Shangshu was too busy to go home and couldn't sleep, and the dark circles under his eyes have never disappeared!"

Li Wan dismissed it at the time, thinking that Li Zhongqing's sweet words made Mrs. Liu happy. In her opinion, there is no one who can't sleep when he is tired. But later she realized that Li Zhongqing and the others are sorting out files and interrogating prisoners. , Neck, shoulders, and waist problems, it is common to be unable to sleep.

For this reason, the wife of Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice also asked Mrs. Liu to learn massage. At that time, Mrs. Liu called her, asked her to sit, and put her hands on her shoulders to explain to Mrs. Shangshu. She was very curious, so she learned some. Thinking of it, it came in handy at this time.

It was already dawn, Li Wan was worried that a servant girl would come, so she withdrew her hand, and Qin Muyin immediately opened her eyes.

Li Wan's hands were hanging by her sides, trembling involuntarily, she shook her left and right twice, seeing him get up, his eyes fell on her hands on both sides, Li Wan nodded and changed the subject, "Master Hou, I'm done with work later Do you want to go back home together?"

Qin Muyin withdrew his gaze and nodded. Sure enough, he heard footsteps coming from far to near. The two turned around the corridor and met the maids sweeping the snow. There was a thick layer of snow piled up here. They thought that no one would come to such a place, so they dragged it until today to clean it.

There is one more thing in Li Wan's heart, "Your Majesty, the invitation says to arrive at the Sangong Gate at Maoshi, did you make a mistake about the time?"

Woke up early by Zi Lan to get dressed, Li Wan's eyes were swollen badly, and it took a while to relieve them. The invitation card should have been sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The requested time is too early.

"The emperor ordered people to create many styles of palace lanterns. Concubine De asked you to come earlier to enjoy the palace lanterns!" Qin Muyin went to Wenning Palace with Li Wan along with her clothes that were wrinkled from sitting for a long time.

They went late, and most of the fire in the palace lanterns was extinguished. Various styles of palace lanterns were placed along the corridor, and the plants were placed, making people dazzled. There are branch-shaped ones, which contrast well with the clean branches in the garden, and Li Wan also likes them when she sees them. In the corridor, there are court ladies standing on tiptoe, holding palace lanterns in their hands, lifting the lampshade, and extinguishing the fire inside, Li Wan He and Qin Muyin went to the main hall of Wenning Palace, talking and laughing happily inside, Li Wan felt guilty and short of breath, and didn't want to go in, Qin Muyin paused, "Go in, I'm still busy!"

Concubine De invited the women's relatives, and Qin Muyin had to take someone to investigate the Plum Garden, in case something went wrong, and he had to return to the emperor before he could do other things.

Li Wan nodded, remembering to check her makeup, lowered her head, and looked at her clothes carefully, Qin Muyin spoke softly, Li Wan waved his hand to say goodbye to him, and couldn't help but blush under the gaze of the maids.

Concubine De is the host today, and the Empress sat at the head with her. Many tables were placed in the hall. Li Wan lowered her head, trying to minimize her presence, and sat down at the table closest to the gate.

This table is the farthest from the main table, and there are few people there. Li Wan smiled at the two of them. There were many delicate pastries on the table, all in the shape of plum blossoms. Depending on the color, there were sweet-scented osmanthus, rose, grape, and walnut flavors. ...

Li Wan subconsciously took a look inside, everyone was chatting, an old woman was holding cakes with chopsticks, gobbling her mouth full of cakes, it was particularly eye-catching, Li Wan thought that it was really what she thought, the Lin family was greedy and loves to take advantage of small things, This temperament will not change even after the palace.

His gaze shifted to Fang Shi who was dressed in light green. She was talking to the woman next to her, her face was half joyful and half nervous. Li Wan guessed that Fang Shi would become bitter and mean when she clings to power. , and found a lady opposite was staring at her with piercing eyes, half looking at her and half puzzled, she raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and smiled back.

The two met each other with a smile, and then turned their eyes away.

Li Wan remembered Qin Muyin's words, avoiding the eldest princess, she found that the woman who was at the same table with her before seemed to be the same, and walked around after hearing the voice of the eldest princess.

Li Wan walked around the garden slowly, she didn't want to meet Lin Shi and Fang Shi, so she walked to a plum blossom tree with a stone table and bench next to it, Li Wan sat down and looked up at the golden plum blossoms, she couldn't help but think of Qin Muyin To send her plum blossoms, at that time, when she returned to the Hou Mansion, she placed two vases on the edge of the bed in the room, put the wintersweet picked by Qin Muyin on the bedside, and picked a red plum blossom and put it in the vase at the end of the bed. The wintersweet was gone, Qin Muyin said to change to another one, but she was reluctant, so the moldy wintersweet was left shriveled in the vase by the withered branches.

Seeing the eldest princess surrounded by a group of people from a distance, Li Wan hurriedly walked to an inconspicuous place to avoid it. If she read correctly, the two following the eldest princess were Lin and Fang, with fawning faces The flattering appearance, especially the thick layer of makeup on Lin's face, and the deep wrinkles hanging in the corners of the eyes, unlike Fang's mother-in-law, more like the old lady serving behind Fang, Li Wan turned to the other side, seeing Yong The Zhou family, the second roommate of Pinghou Mansion, was whispering to the little girl beside her with an angry look on her face. Li Wan's mouth flashed an inexplicable smile, she stepped forward and said, "Second Madam Qiao, I didn't expect it to be you!"

Zhou Qin turned around, the annoyance on his face subsided slightly, his tone was still not very good, "What's the matter?"

Li Wan pretended to be acquainted, and did not answer Zhou Qin. Her face was not flattering, as if an ordinary friend first praised Zhou Qin's daughter after meeting. Zhou Qin, as the second wife, did not like the old lady Qiao. Son, all the young masters and ladies who are popular in the Hou Mansion come from the belly of the wife of the eldest son. Zhou Qin didn't intend to compete with the wife of the eldest son in his life. She gave birth to a daughter and lost her health. She is not obsessed with having a son. There are two sons under the grandfather's knees, and he adopted one under his body. Among them, the second young master Qiao has now reached the age of marriage. This matter can be deeply remembered by Li Wan, and it still depends on the encouragement of the second wife Qiao who has been docile all his life in his previous life. Second Master Qiao split up the family for the sake of the eldest son's marriage.
