Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 166 Full Moon Ceremony (2)

On the seventh day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, because it was the child's first birthday ceremony, Shi Yiqing dressed up for a rare occasion, led Mo Xian, and carried the child to the hall.None of the outside guests were invited, only Mrs. Qi, who was resting at the mansion yesterday, came over and gave a pair of small gold bracelets as a congratulatory gift.

Shi Yiqing saw that the middle hall was lit with candles, and a brocade mat was laid out in front of the hall. The nanny put the child in the middle and asked him to sit cross-legged. A few little maids placed fruits, gold and silver toys, the four treasures of the study, Daoist scriptures, rulers, and scissors around. , red thread for female workers, rouge pollen, Guanzhu Qianmo, daily necessities, etc. Madam Xu led a few mothers to clap their hands aside, drawing the child's attention and observing what kind of things he would grab.

Mrs. Qi saw the child going straight to Rouge Pollen, she held a round fan and said with a smile: "This is not good, if I choose that thing, my sister will have to worry."

Shi Yiqing smiled reservedly: "As long as he doesn't grab the commentary scroll and the female worker's red thread, I will already be Amitabha."

The one-year-old child is very curious. It is not fun to grab this thing and shake it twice, so he throws it aside. He pinches the thing and puts it in his mouth.He had a lot of fun going back and forth, but it was hard for the mothers and girls who followed him around and waited on him.

Shi Yiqing saw that the sun was rising, and she was scorching hot all over, so she couldn't help becoming impatient. Seeing that the child was still looking for things, not sure what to do, she asked the nanny to take him down.

Because this catch-up week was just for fun, and it could not be taken seriously, Shi Yiqing took Mrs. Qi to the shaded place in the backyard to enjoy the coolness, and drank the sour plum soup made by Jianliu himself, feeling very leisurely.

But who knew, when Shi Yiqing was talking to Madam Qi, a group of soldiers broke in and blocked the inside and outside of the house.

Madam Qi had never seen such a scene before, she was so frightened that her legs and feet were so weak on the spot, she fell on the back of the chair, staring blankly at the stern faces in front of her, almost fainting.

Madam Xu, who was serving outside, stood in front of those officers and soldiers, and shouted hoarsely: "How courageous! You are breaking into a private house, who gave you the right?!"

Under the scorching sun, the cold armor on the soldier's body was glowing coldly, and he didn't move a muscle under Madam Xu's exasperated shouts.After a while, the sound of metal rubbing against each other came from the corridor, Shi Yiqing looked up and couldn't help but sneer.

"Who am I supposed to be? It turned out to be General Liu of the Royal Forest Army. You and I are old acquaintances. Why, come to my place for a cup of tea and make such a big battle?"

Liu Keyun, who was dressed in the uniform of a seventh-rank military general, walked in front of Shi Yiqing with his hands behind his back, looked at the tea set on the stone table with a half-smile, and said in a deep voice: "How can I be so lucky as Miss Shi? Drink tea and rest here. I am a hard worker, and I have come all the way to this ghost place, and I am here to invite Miss Shi to return to Beijing."

Shi Yiqing said coldly with a slight smile: "Whose order did General Liu follow? The emperor? Go back, why waste your tongue here?"

"What does Miss Shi mean by that?"

"It's not interesting." Shi Yiqing suppressed the smile on his face, "Shi Yiqing is dead, and everyone in the Yan Dynasty knows that General Liu wants to invite Miss Shi back, so he should go to the witch, not me, and call me What Miss Shi."

Mother Xu snorted coldly: "My wife's surname is Gao, not the Miss Shi you mentioned. I hope the general will raise his hand and leave Lv'e Garden."

Seeing that Shi Yiqing was beaten to death and refused to admit that he was Shi Yiqing, Liu Keyun couldn't help being angry. He took out the set at the frontier of the battlefield and shouted angrily: "I don't care if your surname is Shi or Gao, take it for me!"

Seeing the officers and soldiers rushing forward like wolves and tigers, everyone put on a white face and was about to resist, but only heard a roar, which startled the crowd and stopped the officers and soldiers in their footsteps.

"I don't see who dares you!" Shi Yiqing roared, stood up and drew a short knife from his sleeve to lay across his neck, "Liu Keyun, if you don't want to bring my body back to Beijing to return to life, order your people to back off !"

Liu Keyun sneered again and again: "Shi Yiqing, you have already angered the emperor by cheating the sky and escaping by cheating your death. Are you going to arrest me? Come, take it down for me! No matter if you are alive or dead, you will be brought back to Beijing!"

Shi Yiqing said with cold eyes: "I don't dare any of you to take a step forward! Liu Keyun, you also said that Shi Yiqing's feigned death has offended the emperor. At this time, the emperor sent you out of Beijing, and it shouldn't be Shi Yiqing's body that you want to go back, right?" ? If you really force Shi Yiqing to commit suicide, I'm afraid the Shi family and the Xiao family will not spare you lightly when you reach the Jinluan Hall. If you really wait until that time, even if the emperor wants to protect you, he will not dare. Liu Keyun, Have you ever thought about the consequences?"

Liu Keyun said with a gloomy expression: "Don't argue! You faked your death and gave birth to a child. I'm afraid you have already become a disgrace to the Shi family and the Xiao family. They wish you could die!"

"Yes, I'm afraid that now I have become the laughing stock of the people in Beijing. The Shi family and the Xiao family will not tolerate me anymore. If you really kill me here, the Shi family and the Xiao family will naturally breathe a sigh of relief. , and your life can’t be kept.” Shi Yiqing paused, and continued, “Although I have a bad background and I have the name of an evil star, no matter what, I am the emperor’s canonized Yuan. And the princess, entered the imperial book, is a member of the royal family, how can you let me go forward and spoil my reputation and chastity?!"

Shi Yiqing raised his eyes and said coldly: "Liu Keyun, I can go back to Beijing with you, but you have to promise me one condition, you can't touch all the people in this Lv'e Garden. They have nothing to do with me or the capital, so naturally It won't spoil your good deed."

Liu Keyun snorted coldly: "This is impossible! The order I received is to bring everyone here, not just you, Shi Yiqing! Come, please get Miss Shi in the car!"

Madam Qi stood up with barely enough strength and said anxiously with a pale face, "I'm here as a guest, why did you take me away!"

"I'll say it again, as long as it is in Lv'e Garden, I, Liu Keyun, will take it back to the capital according to the order." Liu Keyun waved his hand behind him, and several soldiers with weapons trotted and stood in front of Shi Yiqing and the others, as if It's like escorting prisoners, and they have to be escorted into the carriage.

Some soldiers who searched everywhere ran to Liu Keyun and reported, "Report to the general, the child was not found!"

With a gloomy expression, Liu Keyun turned his head to stare at Shi Yiqing, gritted his teeth and said, "Very good!"
