good wife

Chapter 22 Late Night Visitors
Seeing all the boxes of rewards being carried into Jingyi's yard, the old lady and Bai were naturally unwilling, but there was nothing they could do!After all, it is something that was bestowed by the royal family. If you lend them courage, they will not dare to embezzle it lightly.

The old man and Su Wei were very happy, obviously, Jingyi's unintentional act made the emperor feel at ease about Pingnan Hou Mansion.Even the queen's natal family dared to offend, the emperor was most at ease with these courtiers.

But why did the queen reward Jingyi?Thinking of this, Su Wei had a sad look on his face. I'm afraid the queen has not given up on wooing him to the Pingnan Houfu!I'm afraid this time, the empress is targeting her own daughter!And why was the carriage of the Duke Protector's Mansion suddenly frightened?What happened to be met by Jingyi?Su Wei's expression froze, he clenched his hands tightly, and raised his eyes to look in the direction of the palace, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

This morning, accompanied by Su Ming, Jingyi went to the other courtyard.The fact that He Daozi lived in another courtyard was known to everyone in the Houfu, so it was no secret.It's just that not many people know that Jingyi is a disciple of He Daozi.

Jingyi consulted a lot of medical questions in the other hospital. This time, she and Su Ming returned to the waiting mansion until the evening.

After entering the waiting mansion and the flower hall, I saw the whole family was there, even Su Jingwei, who was grounded.The whole family was talking and laughing, when they saw Jingyi and Su Ming, the old man smiled and said, "Yiyi, Minger, why did you come back so late?"

When the two saw the ceremony, Jingyi called out sweetly: "Grandpa!" and fell into the arms of the old man.

The old lady is wearing a black forehead today, with an emerald green gemstone inlaid in the middle of the forehead, which makes her already plump cheeks even more plump, without any tacky feeling.She looked at Jingyi with a smile on her face, "Yiyi, why don't you come back for lunch at noon? You missed the order."

Su Wei said with a smile: "The emperor issued a decree that tomorrow night a palace banquet will be held in the palace to clean up your uncle. The emperor also specifically mentioned you in the decree and asked you to enter the palace together."

Jingyi looked puzzled, why did the emperor let her little girl into the palace?Thinking like this, but didn't say anything, after all, it was an imperial decree, so there was no room for others to comment!

Jingyi's eyes swept over Bai Shi and Su Jingwei, seeing her lower their heads, she couldn't help feeling a little wary.These two have always been at odds with her and her mother, and now they are so quiet, maybe they are either really afraid, or they have a vicious plan!

Jingyi pretended to realize that Su Jingwei was normal, walked in front of her, and called out sweetly: "Sister, I haven't seen my sister for a few days, how is my sister?"

In this case, it is not wrong to hear it in the ears of others, after all, Jingyi is only a seven-year-old child.But to Su Jingwei's ears, it was extremely harsh.I thought to myself: Hmph!If you didn't deliberately lead me to take away those golden hairpins, how could I be grounded?Now come here to pretend to be cute again, think I'm stupid?

I think so, but in the public, Su Jingwei, a concubine, naturally dare not show any disrespect to Jingyi, she hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes, I haven't seen you for a few days, my sister seems to have grown taller again."

Jingyi smiled happily at her and said: "Since my sister is out, please go to the palace banquet with us." After finishing speaking, she turned to look at Gu Shi: "Mother, okay?"

Seeing that Jingyi was so happy, Mrs. Gu couldn't bear to brush her off, so she nodded with a smile.

After dinner, quietly practice calligraphy in the room as usual.He Nanny stood aside and rubbed ink for her, Liu Xing and Tao Tao gently fanned her on both sides, Haitang was doing female red on an embroidery bench, it seemed that she was embroidering a purse.

Jingyi put a table by the window, firstly to cool off, secondly because she was tired, so she could enjoy the outside scenery, and thirdly, to breathe some fresh air.

A little sparrow flew in chirping and landed beside Shi Yan.

This little sparrow came to visit several times almost every day, and everyone was no stranger to it.Jingyi heard it chirping non-stop, and frowned slightly.She stopped writing, took a deep breath, and said to everyone: "You all go down, you don't have to be on duty today." After speaking, she put the pen on the pen holder.

Everyone retreated until they could no longer hear footsteps, then Jing Yi turned to the window and said, "Since your Excellency is here, why don't you show your face?"

After the words fell, a black figure silently landed in the house.

Jingyi looked at the visitor calmly, with a tall and thin body, a handsome face, thick eyebrows that seemed to have been dyed with ink, and bright and deep eyes, which made people feel like a millennium Like the goblin, it has temptation and magic power, which makes people's eyes unable to move away.

Jingyi gently turned her head away, took the paperweight on the table with her right hand, and played with it lightly.

This is a piece of jade paperweight given to her by the old man. The shape of the jade rabbit is small and exquisite, the whole body is white, without any blemishes.The old man later gave it to his own grandmother, and after the death of his own grandmother, the old man kept it in his small warehouse.Once by accident, the old man saw Jingyi practicing calligraphy in the house, carefully, found out the paperweight, and gave it to her.

The man in black saw that Jingyi wasn't surprised or scared when he saw him, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "You really are very courageous! Are you not afraid of me?"

Jingyi didn't even look at him, and said softly: "If you were not courageous, I wouldn't have saved you back then. What are you doing here?"

The man grinned, he had all kinds of charms, but he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he was born with such a monstrosity!Jingyi looked at it, shook her head and thought to herself: With this face that fascinates all living beings, how many young girls will be harmed?Obviously, she forgot that she is also beautiful!
This man is exactly Yuan Xi who Jingyi rescued in the forest back then!
Yuan Xi was not surprised to see Jing Yi, but was puzzled, "Aren't you curious why I'm here?"

Jingyi shook her head and said, "What I'm curious about is why you sent someone to follow me secretly? Also, who are you?"

Yuan Xi raised his eyebrows, a little surprised on his face, obviously he didn't expect her to say that.

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Xi said lightly: "You can regard it as my repayment for saving your life, so I sent someone to protect you secretly."

Jingyi put down the paperweight in her hand, walked in front of him, looked up at him and said, "I don't need your protection, the protection of my brothers and uncle is enough."

Yuan Xi heard her childish voice, and said solemnly: "Do you really think that you can protect you just by relying on them? Let alone the outside, even the water in your residence is unfathomable. Are you sure they will always be by your side? Are you sure they can really protect you and your mother?"
