Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 141 Interest Implications
But Mu Weidao was robbed and ridiculed by Shi Yiqing, his face turned blue and purple, he was so ashamed, he barely suppressed the anger in his chest, walked quickly to the front hall, and found Li Chi who was chatting with Yan Wang Li Yu, He didn't dare to go forward to beg for mercy, so he had to stand on the porch with his hands down, waiting for the opportunity to go forward.

Li Chi saw Mu Weidao's face turn from red to blue early on, and he was suspicious, but he still pretended to be nonchalant, and talked with Li Yu about the few scriptures he had read in the past few days, and seeing that it was getting late, he went Someone called Wei Wangfei to come out, put on the carriage and drove back to Wei Wangfu.

Mu Weidao followed Li Chi on horseback: "Master, she didn't agree."

Li Chi, who was dressed in dark blue court clothes, nodded calmly, and said nothing along the way.After returning to Wei Wangfu, Li Chi led Mu Weidao and was about to return to the study to discuss matters, then Wei Wangfei hurriedly called: "My lord."

Li Chi glanced at Princess Wei expressionlessly: "What's the matter, Princess?"

Concubine Wei lowered her eyes timidly: "Today is the full moon, I prepared Lantern Festival and waited for the prince."

"Princess Princess is tired today, let's rest earlier." Li Chi ignored Princess Wei's embarrassment and complaints, and left with a shake of his sleeves.

After going to the study room and changing into his regular clothes, Li Chi asked the servant who was serving him to call Mu Weidao in, took a sip of tea, and asked seemingly unintentionally: "You told her everything I wanted? How did she reply?" ?”

Mu Weidao replied with a look of embarrassment: "I have already told Miss Shi exactly what the master said. After Miss Shi heard about it, she turned around and left."

Li Chi placed the tea bowl in his hand on the table and stared at Mu Weidao with more ferocious eyes: "Turn around and leave?! Who are you fooling with your words?! What did you say to her? What did she reply, you have to tell me exactly what she said, and make it clear!"

Mu Weidao knew that he couldn't hide it, so he picked and picked what Shi Yiqing said to him, and concealed the harsh words, and then he was willing to tell Li Chi.After finishing speaking, Mu Weidao saw Li Chi holding his chin in thought with no expression on his face, so he couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "Master, you are born as a prince, the master of those ministers, don't say that you just want to marry the Shi family, and marry a minister. A concubine, even a concubine is not an exaggeration! Why do you waste time on her?"

Li Chi said in a deep voice, "What do you know? Although Shi Yiqing's background is not good, he is still Shi Jingran's daughter. Even if Shi Jingran doesn't want to get on my boat, he will not be good with this kind of in-law relationship." Get away. What's more, Shi Yiqing's biological mother came from the Xiao family, and years ago, she put her name under the name of the late wife of the Shi family, and according to the name list, she is a descendant."

After a pause, he moistened his throat with a teacup, and continued: "If she can be brought into the mansion, then she will be related to the Shi family and the Xiao family, and even the county owner of Yinshan will be worried about Xiao Jin." Help me with her reputation! Now you know why I put so much effort into her."

Although Mu Weidao was disdainful in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on his face, he stood aside with his hands down, and said worriedly: "I'm just afraid, if Shi Yiqing is not so important in Shi's and Xiao's families, what should I do. "

Li Chi rubbed his temples with a headache, and couldn't help scolding: "If you are willing to marry that little overlord of the Xiao family, will I still have such a headache?"

When Xiao Yongqi was mentioned, Mu Weidao couldn't help but feel awkward, and waited at the door to wait.

As the days faded away, Shi Yiqing accompanied Shi Fuyu for dinner, and the two of them embroidered flowers by candlelight and chatted. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, the King of Yan came to invite Shi Fuyu again and again, and Shi Fuyu followed With a flushed face, she bid farewell to Shi Yiqing reluctantly, and followed the visitors to the Upper Court.

Shi Yiqing changed her clothes and was about to go to bed. Seeing that He Mu had sent Fang Fei and others outside to serve her, she couldn't help but look at her a few times. Knowing that she had something to say, she asked, "Tell me, what do you want to say to me privately?" of?"

He Mujiu walked to the bed and said in a low voice: "Miss should not have easily followed Mr. Mu's wish and talked with you alone in the afternoon. If this matter is spread, it will be harmful to the reputation of the lady." !"

Shi Yiqing smiled lightly and said: "Don't worry, that Xia'er is Seventh Sister's confidant, how could she not report this to her after seeing such a thing? Didn't you find out that my servants who came to serve me early in the morning were all changed?" Is anyone involved? Presumably it is to be sealed, and no one is allowed to speak out."

He Mu looked at Shi Yiqing with surprise: "It turns out that Miss has long known that Miss Seven intends to protect her, so she is so relieved."

Shi Yiqing suppressed the smile on her face: "Seventh Sister has never experienced such a thing, how can she have any intention of protecting her, all of this is probably done by others. It's not for me or the Shi family's good, it's all because she can't Let this scandal happen in Prince Yan's mansion."

"Since it's not Miss Seven, who could it be?"

Shi Yiqing smiled and looked sideways at He Mu: "He was so shrewd in the past, why is he so confused here?"

He Mu had a sudden realization, and said softly in surprise: "Miss, are you saying that King Yan did all of this?"

Seeing that she refused to believe it, Shi Yiqing couldn't help but whispered: "Yes, such a clear and handsome person who has read the Four Books and Five Classics should be an elegant and frail scholar, and he doesn't look like he can play tricks. But in this mansion, who else would there be besides him? It's just..."

It's just that this method was played too fast, so fast that people couldn't see it clearly, it was more like someone had been waiting by the side, waiting for this kind of thing to happen, and then sealed everyone's mouths.

"Just what?"

Shi Yiqing smiled lightly, and said: "It's nothing. It's getting late, let's go to bed quickly, and we have to go to worship our mother tomorrow."

Seeing that Shi Yiqing kept silent, He Mu had no choice but to give up, put Shi Yiqing to sleep, got up by himself, went to the outside room, and fell asleep with his clothes on.

There was a warm wind and moonlight pouring in, Shi Yiqing was surrounded by a distant view, his sleepy mind became clearer, and he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

Shi Yiqing was angrily pushed and sat up, following the strong smell of lilac outside the window, he stood in the moonlight.

What a beautiful night, but unfortunately, it was mixed with too many desires and entanglements, mixed with thick plots and tricks, and she was almost out of breath.

Everyone said that a person lives one life, but she has lived two lives, but the joy of these two lives combined is very little.She died because of hatred, but now she lives because of resentment, what is this for?

Yang Lianxiang murdered Aunt Xiao on the unwarranted charge of adultery. The child lost his mother before he was born. What's more, he was weak and might not be able to support him.Shi Yiqing pointed to heaven and earth, how could she, Shi Yiqing, not avenge such a deep hatred? !
In the current situation, the emperor is old and frail, and the several princes are all harboring ulterior motives. The important officials in the court are wooing each other to seek refuge. They are afraid that they will be on the wrong team and become the enemy of the new emperor. A little girl's vengeance in my heart?
Not to mention the top of the court, it is the Shi family.The old lady originally wanted to take advantage of these major events to take care of the affairs of the mansion, but she wished that there would be infighting between the rooms and reap the benefits for herself, and in the end she would be devastated and sick.Besides, Shi Jingran, a typical official, although he also looks forward to having a beautiful wife and beautiful family and children and grandchildren around his knees, but he wholeheartedly wants to become a master. The glory of being under one person and above ten thousand people.

No one, no one would take a woman's grievances to heart, just want to treat Aunt Xiao's death, and treat it indifferently, as if there had never been such an unlucky person in the Shi family.

Shi Yiqing stared angrily at the lilac tree hidden in the darkness, and swore secretly: "I, Shi Yiqing, have lived two lifetimes, and I am so tired that my mother lost her reputation, and even died tragically of Shi's family, and my younger brother lost his mother. She took revenge and let her die in peace, and I, Shi Yiqing, don't want to live one more day in this world, and follow my mother into hell as soon as possible, and never be human again!"

The soft moonlight passed through the lilac tree and hit Shi Yiqing's face. Shi Yiqing looked along the moonlight and murmured: "Mother, after dawn, it will be your life sacrifice. Please help me under the nine springs. To avenge you, to return your innocence!"

In the early morning of the second day, He Mu and others waited for Shi Yiqing to change his clothes. While he was pulling his hair, Xia Er was ushered in with a smile, greeted her, and said, "Princess Wang said, there were a lot of things to do yesterday. I didn't have time to talk to Miss Jiu, and I want to have breakfast with Miss Jiu today, so I invited Miss to go to the Upper Court with my servants."

Shi Yiqing responded with a smile, tidied up his clothes, followed Xia'er to Yuanhe Zhai in the upper courtyard, and had a simple breakfast with Shi Fuyu, then said: "Sister, Qing'er has something to ask, I hope my sister can help me."

Shi Fuyu smiled and said, "You and my sister, why do you still use this word of begging. Tell me, as long as I can do it, I will help you."

Shi Yiqing forced a smile, and said: "Today is not another day, it is my mother's birthday sacrifice. I didn't fulfill my filial piety when she was alive, but now that she is gone, I should also go and see her."

Speaking of Aunt Xiao, Shi Fuyu's eyes were also red, she nodded with tears in her eyes and said: "It should be so. Qing'er, you go, if someone from the Xiao family comes to ask, I will stop you from staying here longer Half a day."

"Thank you, sister." Shi Yiqing leaned over to pass Shi Fuyu, was led to the corner gate, exited the gate of Prince Yan's mansion, and went all the way to the west of the city.

As soon as the carriage of Prince Yan's Mansion arrived at the gate of the city, Uncle Zhong, who was dressed as a farmer, looked for him. When he saw Shi Yiqing, he bowed his hands and said, "Miss, are you going to worship now?"

Shi Yiqing nodded, and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you here alone? Where's the nanny?"

"Miss Hui, Madam Xu went to the Shi family's ancestral grave early in the morning, so she should talk to Auntie now."

Shi Yiqing was slightly taken aback, and after a long silence, he sighed softly, took Uncle Zhong with him, and hurried all the way to the Shi family's ancestral grave, where he really saw Mother Xu.

Helped by Fang Fei to get off the carriage, Shi Yiqing took the sacrifice brought by He Mu and others, waved his hands and left Uncle Zhong, He Mu and others where they were, and searched for it by himself.Seeing someone coming, Mother Xu, who was crying, hurriedly wiped her tears with her sleeve, and when she saw that it was Shi Yiqing, she sniffled in embarrassment, rubbed her hands uneasily, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Miss, miss Why are you here?"

Shi Yiqing saw that Aunt Xiao's grave was full of sacrifices, and couldn't help feeling warm in her heart. When she raised her eyes to look at Madam Xu again, tears filled her eyes: "Mother and people have loved each other all their lives, and in the end, there will only be you, Madam Xu." , still remembering her birthday."

Speaking of this, she paused, seeing Madam Xu crying sadly, but only wiping her tears with her cuff, she took out a handkerchief and handed it over, and continued: "Why have Mama Xu's rules changed?"

Mother Xu subconsciously took the handkerchief, wiped away her tears, and sighed, "I forgot to bring it today."

Shi Yiqing lowered his eyes and smiled, but did not refute her.Seeing wine in front of the grave, he knelt down in front of Aunt Xiao's grave, poured a glass of wine for her, spilled it on the ground, poured a glass for himself, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Madam Xu looked at Shi Yiqing in surprise, and stepped forward to stop her intentionally, but she stretched out her hand with painful eyes, caressed the words on the tombstone, and said softly: "Mother, Qing'er has come to see you."

Shi Yiqing smiled wryly, held a glass full of wine and said to the tombstone: "In the past at Shi's family, you were my mother, but I couldn't call you mother in a fair manner. Now that you have gone, the grave will be buried in the ancestral hall." , I will call you mother in front of our ancestors!" After finishing speaking, he drank another glass of wine.

Mother Xu hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "Miss, miss, you don't drink much, you must stop drinking."

Shi Yiqing let Nanny Xu snatch the wine glass away, just stared at the words on the tombstone, and said softly: "Mother, today is your birthday, but I can't even see you or pay homage to you." Those who are upright and upright have to use their heads to cover up, for fear of being seen by others. But here," Shi Yiqing pointed at the many archways of the Shi family presumptuously, "but here are all the spirits of the Shi family. They have seen it. Not only did they see me coming to worship you, but they also saw me calling your mother over and over again!"

"Miss, you are drunk!"

"I'm not drunk!" Shi Yiqing waved his hand away from Nanny Xu's outstretched palm, "I'm very sober."

Shi Yiqing staggered to his feet from the ground, shouted angrily with a pale face: "I'm not drunk, it's the world that's drunk, they're ridiculously drunk!" Sitting on the ground, Mother Xu screamed in fright, and people waiting outside rushed in in fright.

Madam Xu asked anxiously: "He Mu, did you bring the medicine to sober up? Take it quickly for Miss!"

He Mu said with a pale face: "Miss has never drunk a drop of alcohol, and besides, I came to pay homage to my aunt, how could I have thought that I would bring sober medicine."

Uncle Zhong looked at Shi Yiqing worriedly, and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid you won't be able to go back to Shi's house in this state, I think we'd better send her back to Prince Yan's mansion as soon as possible, so as not to leak the news of her coming here in time, and ruin the house." Miss's honor!"

Mother Xu frowned and vetoed: "Miss can't go back anywhere like this, I'm afraid she will be chewed on. I think so, let's arrange Miss to rest at the inn for a night, Fang Fei, you go to Yan Wang Mansion and tell the princess here He Mu, when you go back to Shi's house, just say that the concubine will keep the young lady for one more day, and go back early tomorrow morning."

The crowd clamored, thinking that this method was good, and was about to carry Shi Yiqing away, when the drunk Shi Yiqing waved away the crowd impatiently, and stood up staggeringly.

"I can stand up by myself without your support." Shi Yiqing reached out and rubbed his tight temples, "What are you all arguing about?"

Mother Xu had no choice but to say what she had just discussed with everyone: "Miss, you are drunk, you should go to the inn with your slaves to rest."

Shi Yiqing raised his gaze to look at Madam Xu who looked worried, and said softly, "I'm not drunk. It's just that the smell of alcohol around me is indecent after all, and it's another thing to spread it. Just follow your method." , go find a quieter inn to rest, and we will go back to Shi's house tomorrow morning."

She paused, waved He Mu's hand to help her, and continued: "Just now, I don't want to leave, I want to say a few sweet words to my mother, you all go out and wait, you are not allowed to come in without my order." .”

When there was no one around, Shi Yiqing couldn't hold back the tears that kept spreading from his eyes after all, and cried for a while, then fell down in front of Aunt Xiao's tombstone, and said with deep pain: "Mother, I don't know where you lived." Is it good? Did the ancestors of the Shi family make things difficult for you? I don’t know if you have confiscated the dowry that accompanied you. Are those things enough? If not, you asked Meng to talk to me. "

Carefully wiping away tears with a handkerchief, Shi Yiqing said in a babbling voice, "You don't even know, that kid is growing up so fast, the apron I sewed for him can't fit anymore, so I should sew him up again." By the way, mother, do you know that his father gave him a name with a single character, and his grandmother gave him a small character, calling him Qi'er. I think when Qi'er grows up, no one will dare to bully him. .”

Shi Yiqing drank another glass of wine to relieve his worries, and said with a full face: "Mother, don't worry, I will take good care of Qiqier, and I will never let others hurt him. I will also avenge you , you are under the Nine Springs, wait for me to send her to you, and let you personally avenge her, okay?"

There was the sound of birds chirping, Shi Yiqing smiled and wept against the cold tombstone, and murmured: "Mother, Qing'er misses you, can you come and see Qing'er? Qing'er knows, mother is She loves Qing'er the most, so Mother will definitely come to see Qing'er, right?"

Nanny Xu approached slowly, and interrupted softly with tears in her eyes: "Miss, someone should be here in a while, let's get out of here quickly."

Shi Yiqing pretended to be innocent and wiped the tears from his cheeks, got up staggeringly, followed Madam Xu into the carriage, and returned to the capital half drunk.
