Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 135 The Whereabouts of Shi Xuanfu
Gao Qichang smiled wryly, seeing Shi Yiqing's unforgiving mouth, he knew that he had offended her, but he didn't know where he offended, so he could only say: "I must always remember that you were not trained in the boudoir. Those ladies from famous families really dare to say anything and do anything!"

Shi Yiqing only thought he was teasing himself, couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and subconsciously counterattacked: "Although I was not born according to the rules, I am even a wild girl who was abandoned by the Shi family. One set of practices.”

After a pause, he felt that arguing with him like this was not the way to go, so he continued: "If you have nothing else to do, Mr. Senior Senior, please step aside. It's getting late, I should go back."

Gao Qichang didn't give in, and hurriedly said: "I'm stupid, I don't understand what you are angry about?! According to common sense, I should be the one who should be angry. You released me several times in a row, and made me wait. I have waited for several days, only hoping for you to show up. You finally showed up, but why are you so angry?!"

Shi Yiqing couldn't help being startled when he heard his slightly sad words, raised his eyes to see the sincerity of what he said, couldn't help blushing, subconsciously took a step back, and calmed down his emotions, then suddenly remembered what he meant by waiting. He hurriedly said: "If you think about it, it's not that you don't know. Many things have happened in the Shi family. I can't leave the house for a while, so I asked Uncle Zhong to find you and make it clear. You never brought me back. Now But come out with such a look, what are you doing?"

Gao Qichang hurriedly said: "Of course I know about you. The city was full of ups and downs a few days ago and everyone knew about it. How could I not be worried? I was restless all day long, hating Ouyang Xingchen so much that I gritted my teeth, If His Royal Highness Qi Wang didn't stop her, I'm afraid I would have killed her countless times!"

"You don't use me to say nice things." Shi Yiqing turned his body coldly, "Aren't you guys all alike? You are always greedy when you eat what's in the bowl and look at what's in the pot. People from the capital city I don't care how you arrange me, anyway, I am clear and bright, I have nothing to be afraid of, and I am not afraid of you all coming to slander me."

Gao Qichang blushed anxiously: "Where would I come to slander you?"

Shi Yiqing looked directly at Gao Qichang sideways, and said in a hoarse voice: "You still say you didn't come to slander me? Let me ask you, if you really have something to do, you can tell Uncle Zhong to know, and Uncle Zhong has his own way to tell me, but you are so unreasonable. I rashly followed my carriage, and got stuck here again at Fahua Temple, so that people could see it, just as if my daughter of the Shi family was a flirt, it was not enough to hook up with Ouyang Xingchen, but also to tease the third young master of the Gao family! "

Gao Qichang was taken aback for a moment, his face blushing because of Shi Yiqing's robbing him, and he said anxiously after a while: "If I really only did it for His Highness, for the sake of ascending the Immortal Pavilion, how could I be so reckless?! Shi Yiqing, could it be that you really don't want to?" Know what I mean?"

Seeing Gao Qichang's expression, Shi Yiqing calmed down for a moment, stepped back half a step with courtesy, maintained the airs that a famous lady should have, and said in a cold voice: "Master Gao, I understand what you mean, but you should also understand , I came from a humble background, and even more famous, I have been pointed out by others. I only hope to live a peaceful life, and I don't want to be involved in your emotional world. Do you understand me?"

Seeing Shi Yiqing say this, Gao Qichang knew that he had been completely rejected, he couldn't help feeling disheartened, turned pale and backed away, barely supporting himself and said: "You, you don't like me?"

Shi Yiqing pretended not to see his expression, and said in a deep voice: "Master Gao San, you should understand that even though I am high-ranking, I have also entered the list of the general election. I just wait for my grandmother to choose a rich and kind family to marry after I lose the election." Now, live your whole life in peace, and you don't have to worry about it all day long."

She paused, raised her eyes to look at Gao Qichang through the conical hat, and said slowly: "Master Gao San, you are right, I don't like you. At the same time, I also want to ask you, what do you like about me? My young man , my beauty, my family background? Or, because I am beneficial to your career?"

Gao Qichang stared back at Shi Yiqing in a daze, and after a while he smiled sadly: "It turns out that I am such a person in your heart. Could it be, could it be that I can't, can't I just like you?"

Shi Yiqing lowered his head and said slowly: "My lord, you and I were born in a family of officials. You should understand that the so-called marriage is just a connection between two families. If you tell me today that you like me, so what? You can make the Gao family disregard me. The emperor's decree, marry me? You can't do it, because the king of Qi still wants to use you, and he will never allow you to marry a worthless concubine, let alone let the Gao family contradict the emperor. I will never tolerate being someone else's concubine, and I don't want my children to be criticized and called concubines."

She hooked her lips into a smile without a smile, and said: "So, third son, please go back. I will pretend that you have not been here today, let alone said such a thing."

He Mu called from behind: "Miss, the abbot sent someone to invite Mr. Gao."

Shi Yiqing turned sideways to get out of the way, bowed his head and said, "Master Gao San, it's better not to make the abbot wait too anxiously."

Gao Qichang took a deep look at Shi Yiqing, then stepped into Abbot Baimei's meditation room, and disappeared from Shi Yiqing's sight.

He Mu walked up to Shi Yiqing with downcast eyes, and said softly, "Miss, Jian Liu and Hua Zhu haven't come back yet, is something going to happen?"

Shi Yiqing looked at the sky, frowned, turned around and walked out of the alley, went deep along the backyard of the meditation room, went around several times, and finally found the dilapidated meditation room that she was led to by the strange face's men before.

At this moment, the sky had already turned gloomy. Seeing that the place had been deserted for a long time, He Mu couldn't help feeling frightened. He pulled Shi Yiqing's sleeve and said, "Miss, let's, let's come back tomorrow morning."

Shi Yiqing said with cold eyes: "You and I can wait until tomorrow, I'm afraid that if someone can't wait, they will leave."

After finishing speaking, she broke free from He Mu's shackles, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Since you are so scared, then don't go in, let me outside, and don't let anyone come in to disturb you."

He Mu refused, although he was afraid in his heart, but he was also thinking about Shi Yiqing's safety.When Shi Yiqing saw her, she softened her face and said, "She never intended to harm me before, and she won't harm me now. You just wait outside."

Shi Yiqing decided to leave He Mu outside, and walked to the dark place without courage, picked up a candle from the ground, took out a fire from his arms and lit it, and dared to go forward with the light of the fire .

"You are quite courageous, but you are a little courageous and foolhardy."

Suddenly there was a sound coming from the darkness, Shi Yiqing was startled, and identified it with his ears, and confirmed that this person was the one who gave her the file before, and hurriedly responded: "I didn't come to you because I was brave, nor did I think of some scheme. , I just have some doubts in my heart, and I want to ask you clearly, but I don't know where to find you, so I have to use such a stupid way. I just didn't expect that you are really here. "

A strange face appeared in the darkness, looking at Shi Yiqing with a half-smile: "Why do you think that as long as you ask me, I will answer you honestly?"

Shi Yiqing barely held his courage and said, "Since you have no intention of answering me, then why did you show up?"

The strange face seemed to be hidden in the darkness, and she said in a cold voice: "Young girl, you want to ask for help, but you don't have the attitude to ask for help."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Shi Yiqing panicked, and blurted out: "Shi Xuanfu, stop!"

With a strange face in the darkness, he looked at Shi Yiqing with strange eyes, but did not speak.

Seeing that she had a reaction, Shi Yiqing acted as if he had guessed it right, and hurried forward two steps, trying to get close to the strange face. He was ecstatic and just about to speak when he heard gusts of air-conditioning from the surrounding darkness. She was so excited that she shuddered all over.

In the darkness, that strange face said in a deep voice as if about to get angry: "Presumptuous, how dare you call this name like that?!"

When Shi Yiqing heard this, she couldn't help being taken aback, her ecstatic mood was instantly frozen at the level of embarrassment, and immediately, disappointment, frustration, grief, and even despair surged like waves and tsunamis, making her feel mixed Chen, complex and indescribable.

"You, not her?"

She is not her.She's just a strange face, a strange person with inexplicable emotions, inexplicable behaviors, and inexplicable masks.

She is not her, not Shi Xuanfu, not the person she tried so hard to find.

So, where is Shi Xuanfu?
The strange face in the darkness closed his eyes calmly, and said calmly: "I never said that I am the person you imagined."

Shi Yiqing's complicated moods gathered and changed in an instant, and the sky filled with anger burst out from the bottom of his heart. He knew that it was not the fault of the person in front of him, but he still couldn't help but spit fire on the strange face in front of him.

She barely breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed the surging anger, and said: "Since you are not her, why did you react? Since you are not her, then who are you? Since you are not her, why did you give me the file? Since you are not her, why are you meeting me here?"

The expression on the strange face was complicated, and it took a while to reply: "I don't know who you are looking for, and it didn't change or react as you said. Also, let me say it again, I didn't say I am her."

"That's good. That's good. I thought I was wrong before. Then you can tell me why you handed over the dossier to me? And you, who are you and what purpose do you want to borrow from me? What are you doing with your hands?"

The strange face replied indifferently: "I am not the one who wants to give you the file, but a friend of yours who wants me to give it to you, that's all. As for who I am, I don't think you need to know. Originally, you and I should have separated after the last meeting, so I didn’t want you to do anything for me or achieve my purpose. I said this, do you understand? If you are enough It's clear, you can go."

But in just a short cup of tea, Shi Yiqing felt that his mood had fallen into a trough, and the anger in his heart was not only angry at his face and not Shi Xuanfu, but more at himself, angry at his whimsy, angry at his reckless behavior, I am even more angry that in front of this strange face, I will always expose my most vulnerable part.

After Shi Xuanxin flicked his sleeves out of the deserted meditation room and saw He Mu, he remembered that he forgot to ask about the whereabouts of Jianliu and Huazhu, and hurriedly led He Mu in, and the strange face really disappeared.Shi Yiqing was about to yell to vent his anger, but he was afraid that people outside would hear him coming over, so his breath was suffocating in his chest.

He Mu lit the candles on the ground and drove away the darkness with the faint candlelight. Seeing someone in the corner of the room, he hurried up to check, and saw that it was wrapped in cut streams and flower candles, so he turned around and said to Shi Yiqing: "Miss, they are here here."

Shi Yiqing walked quickly to the corner, woke up Jianliu and Huazhu, and was relieved to see that they were intact. He led them out of the courtyard in a hurry, and took a carriage back to Shi's house in the capital.

Shi Yiqing didn't see it, but when she left Fahua Temple in a hurry, a pair of cold eyes were staring at her, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on her strange face mask, casting a layer of warm luster.

A man in black walked behind the strange face and said coldly: "Miss, since she has already guessed it, why does she still deny it? Don't you want to see Miss Qing'er?"

Strange Face raised his left hand missing the little finger, and took off the mask that covered half of his face, only to see that the cheek that was supposed to be pretty and unparalleled, but half of his face seemed to be scalded by a horseshoe fire, and he could see it hidden in the darkness. , It seemed unusually frightening.

She smiled bitterly in a cold voice: "What should I say, what can I say? Say I am Shi Xuanfu, your sister, I have always been in the capital, I have always been in Fahua Temple? Or, sister , I miss you very much, I want to kiss you and hug you? After I become this ghost, do you think all this is possible?"

Looking at the man in black behind him, Shi Xuanfu smiled desperately, and said in a clear voice, "Zhiqin, you and I won't be able to go back a long time ago."

A pair of concerned eyes flashed on the usually expressionless face of the man in black, and he said in a deep voice, "But Miss Qing'er looks very disappointed."

"She is more than just lost." Shi Xuanfu breathed out lightly, turned his eyes and said, "By the way, you just said that Gao Qichang likes Qing'er, what's going on?"

But when Shi Yiqing rushed back to Shi's house, the sky was already as dark as thick ink, the groom knocked open the corner door, and entered the corner door with the carriage.She and He Mu waited for Shi Yiqing to get out of the carriage, walked quickly into the Erjiao Gate, walked around the garden and passed Chunhui Hall, seeing the lights of Chunhui Hall shaking in the wind, she was stunned, and asked Jianliu to go forward and ask.

Jianliu went to Chunhui Hall in response, and brought the little girl Xiaoling over after a while, and said: "My servant saw that Chunhui Hall was not locked, and there was only this little girl guarding the gate of the courtyard, so I brought her here. .”

Seeing that it was Shi Yiqing by the weak candlelight, Xiao Ling hurriedly saluted and said: "The old lady was a little anxious when she saw that the lady hadn't returned for a long time, and that the Baifang Garden was locked, so she ordered her servant to wait for the lady here, and said yes I'm afraid Ran Yuezhi won't be able to go back, and it's inconvenient to go to Aunt Xiao's place to stay overnight, let the young lady go to Chunhui Hall with the servants, and just rest in the side room."

Shi Yiqing didn't expect the old lady to have such a plan for him, so he couldn't help being moved a little, thanked the old lady for her kindness, and followed the little girl to the side room, washed and changed briefly, and then fell asleep.

Nothing to say all night.Before the dawn of the next day, Shi Yiqing got up and waited on the old lady after taking the medicine. In order to make the old lady happy, she went out of the kitchen and made a dish for the old lady.

The old lady Meng was hit by Yang's incident one after another, and her condition became more and more serious. The medicine was bitter and tasteless, so she didn't like to eat even more. Seeing Shi Yiqing cooking in person, the old lady was in a bad mood A little more cheerful.

When everyone in the room was laughing and waiting for Shi Yiqing's dishes, they suddenly felt a gust of fragrance blowing in, it was actually a wonderful smell of meat, even the old lady was very curious, waiting to see Shi Yiqing's own cooking.

When Ruonan put the dishes on the table with a smile, everyone looked up and sighed, "So it's boiled meat."

The old lady smiled without saying a word, and carefully looked at the bowl of boiled meat. She saw that the soup was bright red and thick, and there were neat red pork belly in the middle. Qianlong scooped up a piece with a spoon and tasted it. The fat meat was sweet, glutinous and soft. It is not greasy, the lean meat is crispy and delicious but not greasy, the soup is delicious but not greasy, and the whole dish has an indescribable mellow fragrance, but it does not conceal the fragrance of the pork itself.

The old lady couldn't help being amazed, she ate one piece after another, and finally remembered to ask Zhu Xi: "Where is Shi Yiqing?"

Shi Yiqing entered the room in response, leaned over and said with a smile: "Grandmother, how is Qing'er's craftsmanship?"

The old lady smiled from ear to ear, nodded repeatedly, and said, "Fat but not greasy, it's really good. How do you cook this meat?"

Shi Yiqing smiled and introduced: "It's just a secret soup made of old soup, cloves, cinnamon, hay, amomum, cinnamon, coix seed, cinnamon and other nine spices, and the best pork belly is added to it. Made by simmering over a slow fire. The nine spices are prepared in different quantities according to the different solar terms of spring, summer, autumn and winter, so as to cater to the seasons, so that grandma and you can eat them all year round."

When everyone in the room heard this, they all said yes.The Da Furen tasted a piece carefully, and after pondering it for a while, she asked: "I don't know if Qing Yatou has a scientific name?"

Shi Yiqing said with a smile: "It used to have a scientific name, Su Zaorou, but Qing'er didn't get it."

The old lady is too old, not to mention that she can't eat too much meat, even the food can't be eaten because of the soup. Now with this bowl of jujube meat, she ate half a bowl of millet rice. De Zhuxi hurried to stop him, but he didn't stop him. After eating a few more yuan, he stopped with his mouth shut.
