Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 173: A Distinguished Guest (1)

Seeing that He Lu was so nostalgic, Shi Yiqing sighed softly, and said slowly: "Back then, I wanted you to come here too, because you were serving by the Lord of Yinshan County, and the contract of prostitution was at Xiao's house. I was afraid that if I forcibly brought you back to the Shi family, the Xiao family would be dissatisfied and the county lord would be displeased, so I gave up my thoughts. Fortunately, Miss Seven treats you well, which also relieves my guilt."

He Lu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said in a hoarse voice: "Speaking of which, I still have to thank Madam. In the final analysis, Miss Seven was willing to ask the county magistrate for me because of Madam's face." Serving in the past, going to Miss Seven's side never troubled me, she cherishes me very much, even every time I go to Shi's house, I must be there."

Thinking of the past, Shi Yiqing became more and more embarrassing: "Time is easy to throw people away. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Qi has been gone for many years, and even I have become the mother of the child."

Thinking of Xiao Yongqi's passing away and the passing of time, Shi Yiqing couldn't help feeling sad from his heart. He stood under the parasol tree for a long time, saw tears dripping, and smiled wryly: "When did I become so sad. Cough, really, I said I was going to Madam Qi, just waste time in this garden."

Saying that, Shi Yiqing turned and left the garden, shaking off the grief and sorrow that fell all over the ground, and hurriedly left to go to the other courtyard where Mrs. Qi was.

Because of Li Chi's care for Shi Yiqing, even Mrs. Qi's treatment has been improved a lot. Apart from not being able to enter and leave the farmhouse at will, other things are free.

Ever since she bumped all the way from Feishui Town, Mrs. Qi's body became weaker and weaker. After taking some decoctions, she barely recovered, but her face was still pale, and she had to stay in bed to recuperate.

The girl below led Shi Yiqing in, Madam Qi smiled when she saw it, "Why did you come to play with me today?"

Shi Yiqing took the tea from Xing'er, sighed and said, "Isn't it because I'm bored and suffocated, thinking that I have nothing to do, so I came to see you."

Mrs. Qi put away the needlework in her hand, and said: "You said this is really strange. You said that you were going to be escorted to Beijing, but you were imprisoned in such a farmhouse outside the capital. It is not right to say that you are a prisoner. There are prisoners who are treated so well! Sister, tell me the truth, who is the owner of this farmhouse, and why did he treat you like this?"

Shi Yiqing covered the thoughts in his eyes, and said slowly: "Speaking of which, my sister may not believe it. Since I came here, I have never seen anyone who claims to be the master come to talk to me. If it is kidnapping and blackmailing, there is no need to go to such trouble. , but if not, I really can't guess what they want."

The lie came so easily, Shi Yiqing pretended not to know what was going on, but he got away with it, and Mrs. Qi was full of questions but could not get an answer.

Shi Yiqing knew that there were only a few reasons why Li Chi did this.First, if he wants to win over Gao Qichang and subdue the Gao family, he must have bargaining chips, but for Gao Qichang, no bargaining chip is more effective than his wife and children.The second thing is, if Li Chi really picks up the memories of his previous life as he said, he will find out that there are too many changes in this life. Going according to the memories of the previous life may not work. He wants an alliance. A ally who understands him.No one knows this wolf-like man better than Shi Yiqing.

"...Sister...Sister!"

Shi Yiqing looked at Mrs. Qi in astonishment: "Sister, what's wrong?"

Mrs. Qi said with a half-smile, "I still want to ask you what's the matter. I'm talking here, but I don't know where your soul has gone. Why, miss your family?"

Shi Yiqing pretended to be shy and responded: "What did my sister say, no one misses him."

Mrs. Qi looked at Shi Yiqing's blushing face, and joked with a smile: "What's there to be shy about, Xiaobie is better than a newlywed! You have only been married for a little over two years, and you are so sweet together. Here It’s hard to separate for some time, so naturally I want to miss it.”

Shi Yiqing smiled without saying a word.

More than four years ago, she chose to escape by feigning death and went to Feishui Town, where she bought Lv'e Garden.What Shi Yiqing didn't expect was that within a few months, Gao Qichang would follow him. At that time, he had received an official position in front of the emperor, saying that he wanted to protect his family and the country, so he invited him to come to Yumen Pass to guard.

Yumen Pass is an important frontier fortress, and it is also a dangerous city. If the Xiongnu came to invade, Yumen Pass would be the first place to hit. Countless generals have died here over the years, and no one is willing to come here to die.Therefore, when Gao Qichang asked himself to be stationed at Yumen Pass in the hall, it can be seen how much trouble was caused.Originally, the emperor thought about the old man who died in the battle of the Gao family, and rejected it many times, but Gao Qichang recognized this matter, and wrote letters again and again, no one could dissuade him, so the emperor had no choice but to agree. .

Gao Qichang has been stationed at Yumen Pass for four years. During these four years, he has never left the border while stationed at Yumen Pass. He has done his duty with dedication and achieved the image of a soldier that Shi Yiqing admires.Because of this, in the second year when he was stationed at Yumen Pass, Shi Yiqing guarded Gao Qichang's daily love note, and his heart fell. Afterwards, the official media came to propose marriage, Shi Yiqing agreed in this way, and married Gao Qichang. Husband and wife, now they love each other as before, and they even have a son.

Shi Yiqing thought, maybe this is the love in common sayings and novels. Although there is no gifted man or beautiful woman, and no vows under the full moon and flowers, she is willing to follow this man for the rest of her life, and is willing to have children and grandchildren for him, Gao Qichang, and die without complaint or regret.

Perhaps after experiencing the hatred and resentment in the previous life, Shi Yiqing will understand what she really wants in this life. There is no sweet talk, and there is no need for unrealistic promises. What she really wants is to be able to guard her for the rest of her life A husband, a family of her own, a group of happy children.In this way, there is no need to intrigue, no need to live in fear all the time, live peacefully and peacefully, with hope and longing for tomorrow, quiet and peaceful.

Mrs. Qi looked curiously at the smiling Shi Yiqing: "By the way, I forgot to ask you, how did you meet him?"

The river of memory rewinds in an instant, and the pictures hidden in the depths of his mind emerge one by one, and Shi Yiqing can't help but smile sweetly: "How did you know it? It's a long story."

Yes, time flies like an arrow. I think back then, that naughty girl who disguised herself as a woman is now a mother. Time is not forgiving!

After Shi Yiqing concealed his and Gao Qichang's background status, he only said that many years ago, he disguised himself as a woman and escaped from the mansion privately to buy family sisters and congratulatory gifts. , the story of love at first sight came out, which made Madam Qi laugh heartily.

Mrs. Qi said with a smile: "I don't know, so you and your master have such a strange thing, it is really a secular book, a typical backyard of a gifted scholar and a beautiful woman! But, how could you two run away?" How about leaving the capital and settling down in Feishui Town?"

Shi Yiqing continued to make arrangements and said: "As I said before, my father deliberately asked me to go to a big family to be a young man. At that time, I had a master in my heart, so how could I go? , and it became what it is today.”

Mrs. Qi couldn't help sighing twice when she heard this, and said: "Sister, sister, you are so brave, just follow him away like this, so nameless, when people talk about it, look at your face. where!"

Shi Yiqing smiled indifferently: "Life in the world is a word of joy, I am happy with myself, no matter what others say about me."

Just as Shi Yiqing was talking about all kinds of surprises or jokes in Beijing, Mo Wu, who was supposed to be with Mother Xu in the pavilion, barged in and said to Shi Yiqing with a pale face, "Ma'am, I have a guest." arrive."

Shi Yiqing frowned and thought, and said in a deep voice, "Mo Wu, don't forget, we are the guests here." After a pause, seeing Mo Wu's panicked expression, he said, "Let's go, take me to see them."

Mrs. Qi hurriedly got up, and seeing Mo Wu's panicked expression turned pale, she said, "Why don't I go with you!"

Shi Yiqing hurriedly stopped her, she didn't want Mrs. Qi to know what kind of dispute she was involved in.Thinking like this, he said: "Don't worry, the master who wants to come here has never tried to kill you or me. If they want you and me to die, they will do it early in the morning. Sister, you can rest here at ease, and I will go to meet them and come back." .”

After finishing speaking, Shi Yiqing ordered Xing'er and the others to take good care of Mrs. Qi, and followed Mo Wu back into the pavilion.When they reached the pavilion, a soldier in iron armor stopped Shi Yiqing with a sword, and said in a calm voice: "The master has an order, only Miss Shi is allowed to enter alone, and the others are waiting outside!"

Mo Wu was worried that Shi Yiqing was alone, and shouted eagerly: "Who knows what you will do to Miss! Get out of the way, otherwise, I will die in front of you and see how you explain to your master!"

Shi Yiqing could see that the man in front of him was dressed like a guard in the capital, so the so-called master sitting there was probably more powerful than Li Chi.Thinking of this, a person appeared in Shi Yiqing's mind, he said badly in his heart, and stopped Mo Wu.

Shi Yiqing said: "Mo Wu, you stay on guard outside, and don't fight with them without my order!"

"But ma'am..."

"But what, you don't even listen to me, do you?" Shi Yiqing rolled his eyes coldly, and after a while he said slowly, "Mo Wu, help me take care of my mother, I believe I will return safely! "

After finishing speaking, Shi Yiqing was surrounded into the attic and disappeared from Mo Wu's sight.
