Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 147 The Beginning of the Birthday Banquet
After Shi Yiqing led Xiao Yongqi back to Yanyuezhi, when Qing Yan said that Aunt Mo had sent someone to tell her that the class had been suspended, she couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then turned her eyes to Xiao Yongqi and said with a smile: "I wanted Aunt Mo to discipline me." I'm going to discipline you crazy girl, but it happens that Aunt Mo stopped the class and let you avoid it."

Xiao Yongqi raised her chin and said proudly: "It's not that Xiaoqi is bragging. I'm afraid it's not her turn to be the one who can take care of me in this world. Cousin, I always heard you say how scary this Aunt Mo is. Let me see, hehe , it’s all because the young lady in your house is timid that she was given this chance! If she meets me, let’s see how I subdue her.”

Shi Yiqing hurriedly stopped her, smiled wryly, and said, "My grandma Qigu, when will you change your arrogant temper? If someone bumps into you and spreads the word, it will only be said that the seventh lady of the Xiao family is a tiger. A good marriage will also be broken."

Xiao Yongqi said impatiently: "As long as you don't get seen by Brother Mu, my cousin is too cautious. What's more, in my life, why should I live by looking at other people's eyes? I am who I am, whether it is barbaric or nonsense. Forget it, it’s not in the way of anyone’s eyes, why did you come to provoke me?!”

"Forget it, I offended you today." Shi Yiqing smiled ingratiatingly, and said, "I won't mention this from now on, and you are not allowed to play such a petty temper in front of me. "

Xiao Yongqi raised her eyes and looked at Shi Yiqing with a smile, and said coquettishly: "You are my most beloved cousin, how dare I play petty temper in front of you?"

Shi Yiqing looked at her flattering face, followed by her smiling face, the two chatted and laughed intimately for a while, the time passed in a hurry, and it was almost time for lunch.

Jianliu, who was serving at the side, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Miss, the fifth lady in front heard that Miss Biao is here, so she begged the old lady to let Miss Biao go to the star restaurant for dinner. The old lady has already ordered someone to bring the food Send it over, just now Miss Wu called someone over to ask Miss and Miss Biao to go over."

Shi Yiqing nodded with a smile, and said to Xiao Yongqi: "I didn't expect you to be so embarrassing, even Fifth Sister was alarmed."

Xiao Yongqi smiled along with Shi Yiqing indifferently, got up and changed her clothes, followed Shi Yiqing out of Ranyuezhi, bypassed the Ubisoft Pool, and walked to the star point hall opposite.

Zhixiu came out to meet her from a distance, with a sweet smile like honey on her round face, she leaned over and said: "My servant Zhixiu, I have seen Miss Jiu and Miss Xiao. Miss has been waiting for a long time, please Follow the servants to the west hall for dinner."

Shi Yiqing was about to lead Xiao Yongqi to the west hall, when a voice came in hastily, because her name was called, she raised her eyebrows and followed the voice, and seeing that it was Shi Zeqian, she pursed her lips and said with a faint smile: "Fourth sister, You are here too."

Shi Zeqian was wearing a light yellow gown with embroidered bamboo, and she was so charming and charming when she walked. When she came to Shi Yiqing, she saw that the person standing beside her was none other than Xiao Yongqi, her smile became more flattering, and she said softly: "Miss Xiao It's rare to come to our house once, how can you leave me behind?"

Shi Yiqing looked at the expressionless Xiao Yongqi with a faint smile, raised the folding fan in his hand to cover the light on his head, and said to Shi Zeqian: "It's hot today, I think we'd better go in first, and ask Fifth Sister for a drink." Sour plum soup to drink."

It turned out that Shi Zeqian said these flattering words, and waited for Xiao Yongqi to respond to her. You and I said a word, and the two of you are familiar with each other. What I didn't expect was that Xiao Yongqi didn't even put it in a perfunctory manner, but was just arrogant. Looking at her politely made her extremely embarrassed.

Due to the status of the Xiao family, Xiao Yongqi is also the apple of the head of the Xiao family's Yinshan county head. Shi Zeqian weighed the pros and cons and knew that she could not afford to offend her. She followed Shi Yiqing's words and smiled, pretending that she did not take this matter to heart, and put on a face The magnanimity of the children of the family comes out.

Shi Yiqing knew very well that Shi Zeqian was very small-minded, and would not let it go easily, but seeing Shi Zeqian pretending that no embarrassment had occurred, knowing that she was unwilling to offend the Xiao family easily, and she did not want to offend Xiao Yongqi, so she didn't take it to heart, and led Following Shi Zeqian, Xiao Yongqi entered the west hall.

Except for Shi Xuanxin, who was locked in the Buddhist hall and has not been released, only Shi Zejia, who likes to play around, has not come here yet.Because the Xiao family did not allow Xiao Yongqi to come out to make troubles in previous years, Shi Yiqing had no choice but to introduce Xiao Yongqi one by one, except for Shi Zejia who came late, everyone would call Xiao Yongqi sister according to their seniority.

Shi Zeqian sat on the round pier holding the etiquette, holding a teacup and said with a smile: "It stands to reason that when the younger sister of the Xiao family comes over, it should be me, the elder sister, who arranges a banquet for guests, and makes fifth younger sister spend money for no reason. I really feel sorry for her." I feel uneasy, but luckily the girls in my courtyard can cook a few dishes, so I brought them."

Shi Fu laughed and said: "The maids in my sister's yard are all capable, and the dishes they cook are probably not inferior to the ones in Gongzhong. I see that everyone is hungry, so let's eat some tea and snacks first to satisfy our hunger." , and wait for the old lady to serve dinner, let's try the delicious food brought by the fourth sister."

The sisters sat chatting together in twos and threes, Shi Zejia was making a fuss dishonestly, seeing Xiao Yongqi who was sitting next to Shi Yiqing playing with the purse tassel on her waist boredly, got up and walked to Xiao Yongqi to sit down, curious She probed her head and asked, "I heard that your nickname is Qi, and Sister Nine calls you Xiaoqi, but Qi is at home?"

Xiao Yongqi nodded, and asked casually: "What's your nickname?"

"Everyone calls me Ziwei."

Xiao Yongqi frowned: "What a strange name."

Shi Zejia snorted and said, "What's so strange? That's Ling Xiaohua's name, the most noble. Every woman in the Shi family must have a flower instead."

Xiao Yongqi asked with a rare smile: "This is very elegant, but I have never heard of it from my cousin. By the way, what is my cousin's nickname?"

Shi Zejia looked at Xiao Yongqi with an inexplicable expression, and asked back: "I heard from my sister that when you were young, you and Ninth Sister were at odds. If there was no big sister standing between you two, I'm afraid you would be beaten to death. Yes, after Ninth Sister came back, why are you so close? You actually went to call her cousin?"

Xiao Yongqi was startled, forced to suppress the impatience in her heart, and said in a deep voice: "Although I didn't admit it before, she is indeed my cousin, and this cannot be changed. What's more, when my cousin is over the New Year, she will be included in the family tree. At that time, it will be under the name of my aunt, and then it will be a serious birth, and I call her cousin, what's wrong? Besides, when I was young, I played and fought, it was because of good feelings, who do you think They are all like you, they are polite on the surface, but they don’t know what kind of vicious tricks they are going to play behind their backs.”

"What are you talking about?!" Shi Zejia let go of her voice and shouted, "Who is playing tricks?"

Shi Zejia let out a flat roar, startling the joyful atmosphere in the room, cast eyes on Xiao Yongqi, seeing that the two girls were going to make things serious, everyone hurriedly smiled and persuaded them.

Earlier when Shi Yiqing saw Yongqi Xiao talking to Shi Zejia, he went to find Mrs. Shi to have a heart-to-heart talk, but now that the situation was not right, he hurriedly walked between the two of them, smiling and jokingly said: "Look at you two, one is staring, the other is blowing his beard. Yes, what is this for? Playing a martial arts stage?"

Mrs. Shi said with a light smile: "I saw that the two of them could talk about getting together, who would have thought that without saying a few words, the two tempers would explode again."

Shi Zeqian got up and pulled Shi Zejia back to the seat, and said with a smirk: "After all, there are still two children, and they can quarrel in such a hot day."

Shi Zejia pointed at Xiao Yongqi unwillingly and said to Shi Zeqian: "Sister, you don't even know what she said!"

"Jia'er! No matter what Miss Xiao said, she is a guest of our house, and you shouldn't treat her like this."

Seeing that Shi Zeqian was smiling with indifferent eyes, Shi Yiqing subconsciously raised his eyebrows, turned his eyes to look at Xiao Yongqi who had a calm face, thought for a moment, then smiled and said to Jianliu beside him: " You go and send someone to grandma to have a look, if grandma hasn't served dinner yet, go to Ranyuejiao and bring some grape juice made by Mo Xian, and give it to all the sisters to try."

Shi Fuhao followed suit and said with a smile: "I would like to thank Eleventh Sister and Miss Xiao. If it weren't for the two of you playing around, I'm afraid Ninth Sister would be reluctant to take out the treasure."

Shi Yiqing sat down beside Xiao Yongqi, and said with a smile: "Fifth sister was joking, Qing'er is not that kind of stingy person, it's just that the juice was brewed yesterday, and she intends to send some to the sisters, but there are few things. Some of them were given away for fear of making my sister laugh at me. No, this is an opportunity, please try it out and show your face. If everyone thinks it is good, let Mo Xian make some more tomorrow."

While talking, Jianliu led the girl in, held a porcelain bowl and put it in front of all the ladies, and said with a smile: "It's hot today, and the lady ordered the servants to put some ice cubes to relieve the heat for the ladies. Appetizer."

Mrs. Shi took a sip from the porcelain bowl and said with a smile: "As expected, it is very good at relieving summer heat. If I had known that Mo Xian had this skill, I would have gone to my grandmother's place and asked her to come here. Make juice and drink it."

Everyone followed Mrs. Shi's words and made some jokes, forgetting the embarrassment Shi Zejia had with Xiao Yongqi just now.After the old lady delivered a bowl of braised pork, all the young ladies chatted and laughed after lunch, and after a brief wash in the star point restaurant, Shi Yiqing was going to lead Xiao Yongqi back to dye the moon.

Seeing that tomorrow is the old lady's birthday banquet, Xiao Yongqi naturally refused to go back to Xiao's house with Mrs. Xiao, and just wanted to sleep at the tip of the moon, so Mrs. Xiao had no choice but to let her stay. At Shi's house, he first drove back to Xiao's house in a carriage and informed Yinshan County Lord that he had gone.

As I said before, although Shi's family is not considered a famous queen in the capital, because of the current political affairs, Shi's family is valued by the emperor at this juncture, and the famous families in the capital also come to curry favor.Because it is unrealistic to come and talk on the day of the birthday banquet, after all, there are more people coming, so there is an unwritten rule in the capital, that is, to pray for the birthday in advance.

A few days ago, the Shi family was noisy and noisy, mostly in-laws or distant relatives came to talk, and it was common to live in the mansion for a few days, so Xiao Yongqi wanted to live in Ranyuezhi, and no one else could say anything.

It was night, Xiao Yongqi let He Mu and others take off their clothes, with a simple bun in their hair, and then got up and lay down next to Shi Yiqing, her face was flushed and said shyly, "Cousin, Tell me, will Brother Mu come to your house tomorrow?"

Shi Yiqing was reading this ancient book with complete interpretation of Quanzhou customs with great interest, when he suddenly saw Xiao Yongqi who had met like a peach blossom, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled helplessly: "The old lady in the family is celebrating her birthday, whether it is from King Wei's side or the Mu family , they will send people over, and to save trouble at that time, we can only let Mu Weidao come."

Xiao Yongqi held her red face, turned over and looked at the bed curtain with a sweet smile, and said softly: "Cousin, tell me, what will brother Mu look like when he sees me tomorrow?"

"Maybe, it's the same as my expression now." Shi Yiqing pointed to the helplessness on his face and said.

Xiao Yongqi pouted and became unhappy, and turned her back to Shi Yiqing angrily. After a while, seeing that Shi Yiqing didn't try to please or comfort her, she was curious, and secretly turned to look at Shi Yiqing.Seeing that Shi Yiqing was reading with great interest by the candlelight, he felt angry immediately, wrinkled his face and hummed loudly, but he never attracted Shi Yiqing's attention.

"What the hell are you reading?"

Still unable to bear the curiosity in her heart, Xiao Yongqi snatched the ancient book from Shi Yiqing's hand, glanced at it twice, twitched the corner of her mouth, threw it back to Shi Yiqing, and said with disgust: "You don't want to be the number one scholar, read these things to do what?"

Shi Yiqing shook his head and said like a poor scholar: "There is only Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is only the golden house in the book. You don't understand, this thing is a treasure, no less than your emerald flying phoenix ring."

Xiao Yongqi sneered, and said contemptuously: "I see, you are a freak! You are the only one who regards this kind of crap as a treasure."

Shi Yiqing turned her eyes and looked at her with a smile: "Yes, I treat this book as a treasure, but you treat a piece of rotten wood as a treasure. We are both freaks!"

Xiao Yongqi was taken aback for a moment, turned her eyes to think carefully, and then realized that Shi Yiqing was teasing herself with words, shy and angry, stretched out her hand to tickle her itch, and said anxiously: "I see if you still say it!"

The two rolled into a ball with coquettish smiles, Shi Yiqing laughed loudly and shouted: "There is only Yan Ruyu in the book, and only Big Brother Mu in the book! Xiao Qi, you should read more books, maybe you can read a Mu Weidao." !"

Xiao Yongqi's pretty face was blushing like water dripped out, and she insisted on asking Shi Yiqing to say something nice.When the two little girls were arguing inextricably, Yingluo who was waiting outside frowned and stood behind the screen, hesitated to speak again and again.

"Miss, there is a lot of noise in the front yard, saying, saying that the young master has suddenly developed a high fever and is about to invite a doctor into the mansion to show him."

Shi Yiqing was stunned, and hurriedly got up and walked in front of Yingluo: "What did you say? Qi'er has a high fever? What are the nurses and girls doing to eat? Go and ask those who are not asleep to come in and change clothes."

Seeing Shi Yiqing's anxious face, Xiao Yongqi hurriedly got up and pulled her shoes and moved forward: "Don't worry too much, it is common for children to have a high fever at night. When the doctor comes later, everything will be fine."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to come back until very late, so you should go to sleep first, and don't wait for me." Shi Yiqing briefly instructed the servant girl, and then led Yingluo out of Ranyuezhi, going through the gate of Baifang Garden to Tangtang. pear courtyard.

When they reached the gate of the garden, Shi Yiqing frowned when he saw that the gate that was supposed to be locked was open, and left Yingluo to call the gatekeeper to let her lock the gate. Hurriedly went to Tangli Courtyard.

The Tangli Courtyard should be brightly lit, but there are only dim candles lit in Gu Shi Congti's side room. Shi Yiqing barely suppresses the dissatisfaction in his heart, and walks into the door of the Tangli Courtyard, and is about to go to Shi Congti without stopping. Lift the house to go.

Seeing that it was Shi Yiqing, the woman watching the night hurriedly got up and stopped in front of her, and said with a smile, "How did the girl come here at this time? Ma'am has already fallen asleep, will the girl come back tomorrow?"

Shi Yiqing was full of anger on the woman, waved her aside, and said fiercely: "What kind of thing are you, dare to come and block my way? Get out of here, be careful I don't have to tell grandma and mother, I just took it!" Your life is coming!"

After finishing speaking, Shi Yiqing strode into the wing room. Shi Conghu, who was wrapped in swaddling clothes, was about the size of a cat, with a small face that was abnormally red. No matter how the nanny coaxed him, he still frowned and frowned. The voice cried out.

Hearing that his voice was slightly hoarse, Shi Yiqing knew that he had been crying for at least half the night, so she couldn't help feeling a pain in her heart, so she rushed forward in three steps at a time, touched his forehead, frowned and asked the nanny: "Odd My son's fever is so severe, why didn't he report to his mother earlier? Why did you wait until this time?"

The nanny held Shi Congti back tremblingly, hesitated and couldn't speak clearly, angrily Shi Yiqing grabbed Shi Congti and cursed: "Tomorrow is grandma's birthday, you have to do it at this time!" Are you willing to make things difficult for grandma if something goes wrong?"

There was a lot of noise, which alarmed Zisu, she lifted the curtain to come in and saw Shi Yiqing, pretending to be surprised and asked, "Why is Miss Jiu here?"

Shi Yiqing looked at Zisu with willow eyebrows counting down, and said in a cold voice: "I heard Qi'er crying in Baifangyuan, why can't sister Zisu hear it in Tangliyuan? Or is my sister deliberately trying to embarrass mother Do you want to smear her and let her be pointed at and called a mean bastard?"

Zisu panicked, and forced a smile to come forward and said, "Miss Nine, what did you say? The servant has been with Madam for many years, so how could she harm Madam? It's normal for a young lady to be concerned about her."
