Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 209 The Way Home (1)

It's been more than a month now that Qi'er and the child have not been seen, but Qi'er suddenly jumped up a lot, and he looks like a little adult.Seeing that it was really her elder sister Shi Yiqing and she didn't lie to him, Na Qi'er couldn't help but be ecstatic, hugged Shi Yiqing and refused to let go, causing the child to hug Shi Yiqing too.

Gao Qichang, who followed Shi Yiqing out, was jealous of Shi Yiqing's sister and brother's feelings, stepped forward to pull him away jealously, and shouted with a sullen expression: "How old are you, why are you still jumping on your sister!"

Seeing Gao Qichang pulling a face, Qi'er was not afraid, she made a face at him, and still surrounded Shi Yiqing and told anecdotes and strange things along the way, but the words did not match the words, making people unable to understand.

After finally sending Qi'er out to play and feed the child, Shi Yiqing had time to rest on the bed while holding Jianliu's hand, and listened to Jianliu briefly talk about the things along the way , Shi Yiqing clenched Jianliu's hand tightly with tears in his eyes, and only said one sentence in a thousand words: "You have suffered a lot on this journey."

Jian Liu said with a smile and tears: "Ma'am, you are serious, slaves are not bitter."

Shi Yiqing raised her hand distressedly to tuck her messy hair, and said softly: "From now on, don't say such words as slaves anymore, you are my benefactor, Shi Yiqing, the benefactor of Qi'er and the child. Yours I can't repay you for your great kindness. From now on, you will be my sister, Qier's sister, and my child's aunt. When we return to Feishui Town, I will take you to visit your mother, even if it is me. The surrogate has accepted you."

Shocked by these words, she hastily said in a panic, "Ma'am, I, I am just a slave, how can, how dare I be worthy of your sister!"

"Before I came back to the capital, I was also a lowly person, but now, I don't think I am so noble." Shi Yiqing continued with a faint smile, "Unless you think I am not worthy to be your sister, that's why you refuse me so much." .”

Jianliu panicked, and stammered hurriedly: "I, how could I despise you? I, no, madam, I can't, this sad honor is different, how can I go beyond it!"

Shi Yiqing said angrily and amusedly: "I just ask you, would you like to be my sister?"

"Willing is willing..."

"That's easy. When I get back to town, I'll take you to pay homage to my mother."

Seeing that Shi Yiqing was determined, Jianliu no longer refused, and agreed happily. At this time, the child who was still playing around had already fallen asleep, and the immature and unopened face was full of peace, as if the sky was falling Not even a trace of fear.

Shi Yiqing lay sideways beside the child, reaching out to pat the child to sleep, this kind of comfort and peace made her feel that time stood still.

Reminiscing about the past, Shi Yiqing had never felt such a peaceful day, and Shi Yiqing couldn't help but feel a little dazed, and his mind became unclear.

Seeing that Shi Yiqing was sleepy, Jianliu stepped forward to persuade him softly: "Madam, if you are sleepy, go to sleep, I will call you when I leave later."

Because Gao Qichang was called into the palace by an imperial decree just now, the originally scheduled itinerary could only be postponed, waiting for Gao Qichang to come out of the palace before leaving.Shi Yiqing knew that the emperor issued an order to summon him, and he was afraid that he might not be able to come back for a while. Although he felt a little uneasy, this place was safer than other places, so he laid down on the couch to rest for a while.

When the sun turned to the west, instead of Gao Qichang returning, he waited for the eunuch from the palace.The eunuch opened his mouth recklessly, his sharp voice pierced through Shi Yiqing's dream and woke her up.In a trance, I only heard the four words of the Queen Mother's imperial edict, and then I felt my ears buzzing, and I couldn't hear anything else.

It’s still like the red walls and green tiles deep in my memory, it’s still the courtyard where we can’t see each other deeply, it’s still the peaceful and peaceful Empress Dowager who reads Buddha’s name, and it’s still the Fulu Palace where cigarettes are as faint as falling into the Buddha’s realm.Everything is the same as in the previous life, but it made her sigh out of thin air.

The nanny who led her into the Fulu Palace from the front couldn't help but look back at her in surprise when she heard her sigh, but didn't say anything, just followed her duty and led her to the entrance of the Fulu Palace. Instead of looking at her, he said in a low voice: "Kneel here, when the Queen Mother summons, someone will lead you in."

Shi Yiqing knelt at the door of Fulu Palace as ordered, not daring to look around casually, and not daring to speak easily, just waiting for the Queen Mother to calm down and let her go in to answer.What Shi Yiqing didn't expect was that the empress dowager who was eating fast, chanting Buddha, and had a soft face in her previous life had also learned to be ruthless in this life, and she didn't call her in for half a day.

In autumn, the sun disappeared early, and there was still some warmth in the daytime. Now Shi Yiqing only feels icy cold, coupled with the worries and threats for many days. Tie, after a bout of dizziness, almost fainted.

Shi Yiqing held on to her consciousness to prevent herself from passing out, although she knew that as long as she passed out, someone would carry her in, and the queen mother would have nothing to do with her, but in this way, the beam would be closed, and there would be no more It's hard to understand.

The imperial palace at night is no longer as magnificent and magnificent as it was in the daytime. At this moment, it is silent like a monster crawling around her, just waiting for Shi Yiqing to be unable to hold on any longer and to expose her weakest point , this huge monster opened its mouth wide and swallowed Shi Yiqing in its entirety, leaving no bones left.

Here Shi Yiqing was thinking wildly in a daze, when she heard light footsteps approaching, she forced herself to look, but she didn't see clearly, but heard what someone said: "The Queen Mother has a will, Xuan Gao Shi Enter the palace."

Shi Yiqing moved his numb legs, followed into the main hall, then turned to the back side hall.Guided by the female officer into the side hall, I vaguely heard humming inside, and then walked inside, and could clearly smell the incense burning in front of the Buddha.

The female official walking in front bowed and said: "Go back to Lafayette, Mrs. Gao Shi has ordered to see you."

"Call her in."

Shi Yiqing was led to go forward and kneel in the main hall: "Ms. Gao Shi, a civilian woman, has an audience with the Empress Dowager Lafayette. My Buddha is merciful."

There was a little silence in the hall, and it took a while to hear a soft sigh: "I've been kneeling for a long time, don't kneel here, get up."

Shi Yiqing barely supported his sore and numb knees and stood aside with his head bowed, waiting for the Queen Mother to order.

The Empress Dowager was probably so angry that she pretended not to see Shi Yiqing's pale face, and continued to follow the masters to worship the Buddha and recite scriptures.

The aunt who was just sitting on the Arhat couch twisting Buddhist beads was very angry with Shi Yiqing, looked at her carefully, smiled and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, why does this poor lady look familiar, but an old acquaintance? "

The queen mother glanced at the aunt, and said with a half-smile: "This is not the former Miss Shi family, the girl who was born in February."

Shi Yiqing's eyelids twitched, feeling vaguely uneasy.

The aunt nodded with a smile and said: "So it's Miss Shi. I haven't seen you for many years, but I've grown up a little, so it's hard for poor nuns to recognize each other!"

The Empress Dowager pointed at Shi Yiqing and asked in surprise, "Master knows her?"

The aunt smiled and said: "In the early years, the poor nun traveled around and went to the Jing'an Temple in the neighboring county. He stayed there for a while, and we are old acquaintances with Miss Shi."

Shi Yiqing was dizzy at this moment, and he couldn't think of whether he and this sister-in-law were really old acquaintances, or if they were really enemies.But in front of the Empress Dowager, how could Shi Yiqing go up to ask her for his name without seeing, so he could only vaguely say that he had met her: "It's been a long time since my mistress is still the same."

"Xin Yi has grown up a lot."

Shi Yiqing was startled when she heard that the aunt could accurately tell her own alias, and couldn't help but look at her twice, and said with a vague impression: "I don't know if Mrs. Chen was better when she was injured back then?"

Then the aunt smiled happily, nodded and said: "It seems that Xin Yi just remembered me as an old woman. Thanks to the miss, it's okay. This is the root cause of the disease. Every time it is cloudy and rainy It will be sour and oxygen unbearable."

At this time, the queen mother believed that Shi Yiqing and Liaochen were old acquaintances, and couldn't help but glance at Shi Yiqing: "I never thought that you also have a dharma name? But have you been precepted?"

Shi Yiqing hurriedly bowed and lowered his hands and replied: "If you go back to the Queen Mother, the women grew up in the Buddhist monastery when they were young and never received precepts. The so-called dharma names are just a play of everyone, and they can't be taken seriously."

The queen mother waved her hand, smiled lightly, and said, "According to me, the name Xin Yi is really good, and the magnolia flower that grows out of mud without staining it is quite suitable for you."

Shi Yiqing was beating his heart, and hurriedly bent down and knelt down to thank the Queen Mother for her compliment.

The Empress Dowager raised her hand to wake her up, turned to Liao Chen and said, "Since this girl falls in love with the teacher, why don't you send her to the teacher's side for training, hoping to cultivate a good teacher like the teacher for the Dayan Dynasty. The eminent monk is."

Liao Chen glanced at the sickly Shi Yiqing, turned his eyes and smiled clearly: "Is the Queen Mother going to throw this hot potato to the poor nun?"

The empress dowager who said this panicked for a moment, and said with a forced smile: "What do you mean by the teacher?"

Liao Chen walked up to Shi Yiqing, stretched out his hand to lightly touch his forehead, turned around and said to the Queen Mother: "This girl has a high fever, coupled with the fright and panic for the past few days, and she has been thinking too much. Into the body, even if you use a good soup to revive her, I'm afraid she will be in this sick state in the future."

The Empress Dowager was startled when she said this, she hurriedly got up and walked in front of Shi Yiqing, stretched out her hand to touch Shi Yiqing's forehead, she felt that her fingers were burning hot, like boiling water, her heart skipped a beat, her secret thought was wrong, she looked at her fiercely The female officer who came in: "What's going on? Who told her to kneel?"
