Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 223: Getting Together (1)

The night was as deep as water, and the sky was still some time away from the dawn, as Gao Qichang's servant tapped on the door, the two people who were sleeping with their necks on the bed woke up.

"what happened?"

"It's okay, you go to sleep, the emperor called out today, I'm afraid it's to discuss the invasion of the puppet Chu." Gao Qichang got up and tucked the quilt for Shi Yiqing, and said in a low voice, "Wait for me to come back."

After several days of parting, Shi Yiqing had tasted the pain of lovesickness, and now he could no longer pretend to be arrogant, wrapping his arms around Gao Qichang's neck like water: "Then you have to come back quickly. If you don't come back, I will take a strange look with you." I will go back with Pan'er, and I will never see you again."

Gao Qichang's eyes were bright, he held the thin Shi Yiqing tightly in his arms with his backhand, and said in a hoarse voice: "Even if you run to the sky, I can still find you. Qing'er, if only you were a man. I will be able to take you by my side all the time!"

Shi Yiqing blushed, put his palm against Gao Qichang's burning chest, gently pushed him away, and jokingly said: "Why, General Gao has changed his sex and started to like Long Yang?"

Hearing her making fun of himself like this, Gao Qichang loved and hated him at the same time, and wanted to scratch her itch, but Shi Yiqing smiled and avoided her.

"Shh, don't make trouble!" Shi Yiqing hurriedly suppressed the smile on his cheeks, pointed at the figure standing outside the door, and whispered, "Don't ask others to listen."

Gao Qichang smiled fondly and shook his head: "I don't know what's going on in your little head."

Seeing that it was getting late, Shi Yiqing might not be able to catch up with the emperor's call if he delays any longer, so he hurriedly got up and went to the outside to call He Mu, who was on duty, to come over to serve him, but was stopped by Gao Qichang.

"I asked He Mu to go down to rest, she is not waiting outside." Gao Qichang opened his mouth with a half-smile.

Shi Yiqing was startled, his cheeks burned like a cloud of fire in an instant, but he pretended to be calm and stepped forward to pack his luggage.

"What? Are you shy?"

Even if he didn't look at Gao Qichang, Shi Yiqing could still feel the teasing and teasing in his gaze, he was ashamed and annoyed in his heart, and he put on a cheeky face so as not to make him look down: "Who is shy?"

"Then why are you blushing?"

Seeing Gao Qichang's reluctance, Shi Yiqing was still annoyed after all, and said angrily with a flushed face, "It's too hot in the room."

Gao Qichang lowered his head against her forehead, his gaze in the darkness was as gentle as water, staring straight at her, making her heart beat: "Qing'er, wait for me."

The remaining warmth was still lingering on her forehead, but the man who had just been bickering and playing with her, and was very affectionate, strode out the door in a cloak, led the servant straight away, and never turned around to look at her again .

Shi Yiqing couldn't help feeling a sense of loss and longing, and the parting was only a quarter of an hour away.

Outside the window, the moon was bright and the stars were thin, and occasionally the wind blew under the eaves, carrying the warm sandalwood scent from the room, filling Shi Yiqing's long night.

When the sky was bright, He Mu led He Lu and Xing'er in to serve him. He never saw Gao Qichang who was supposed to be sleeping soundly with Shi Yiqing. Come here, say that the banquet was changed to the day after tomorrow, and ask the lady to stay at the mansion for a few more days, the princess has already sent someone to the Shi family to tell, and the Shi family will come soon."

"Understood." Since the goal was to escape from the Shi family from the beginning, Shi Yiqing was not very interested in when the so-called banquet would be held.

He Mu saw that Shi Yiqing looked tired, as if he hadn't had a good rest: "Miss, didn't sleep well last night? I see it's still early today, why don't you sleep for a while?"

Shi Yiqing waved his hand and sighed softly: "Forget it, when Qi'er wakes up and makes noise again, how can I sleep."

After simply eating breakfast, Shi Yiqing was practicing calligraphy with Qi'er, when Helu came to report, saying that the old lady of the Shi family had sent scopolamine to talk.

"Call her in."

Scopol was led to step forward and replied: "I met Miss Nine."

Shi Yiqing smiled lightly: "But grandma sent you here?"

"Returning to Miss Jiu, the old lady heard that Princess Qi moved to hold a banquet, and she was afraid that Master Qi'er would not be used to living in Prince Qi's mansion, so she asked her servants to come over and talk to Miss Jiu, can she ask Master Qi'er to stay at the mansion for a few days? .”

Shi Yiqing pretended to be indifferent: "I'd like to ask Qi'er to go back home. After all, although the palace is good, it can still be regarded as living under someone else's roof. It's just that grandma doesn't know that Qi'er is stubborn. If he doesn't want to, I'm afraid that there will be no peace in the two houses."

Chopol looked embarrassed: "My dear lady, no one in the Shi family will say that you are a bodhisattva, so you should help Scopol and ask Master Qi'er to follow me back. The old lady said harsh words, if Master Qi'er doesn't If you are willing to go back with me, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to the house."

"You're really embarrassing me." Shi Yiqing seemed embarrassed, "If I don't ask Qi'er to go back with you, I'm afraid outsiders will think that I'm just playing tricks, and not only don't even listen to my grandmother's words. , I have to make things difficult for a girl. Take ten thousand steps back, even if I ask Qier to go back with you, Qier will probably refuse, if you don’t believe me, just go and ask yourself.”

Seeing that Shi Yiqing refused to eat, and that he had earned the reputation of a sinner for nothing, he went back empty-handed and was unwilling to give up. He walked up to Qi'er and said flatteringly, "Master Qi'er, the old lady misses you very much. I hope you can go back, why don't you go back with the servant and wait for a while, and wait for the servant to send you back later?"

Qi'er is a big kid, although he didn't understand the twists and turns, but Shi Yiqing didn't tell him to go, he said he didn't want to go with Scopolamine: "I don't want to go back, I almost can't breathe because of the choking Get angry."

Scopol had another bump in Qi'er's nose, and looked up to see Shi Yiqing drinking tea from a bowl as if he had nothing to do with it. There are a lot of delicious things at your grandmother's place, such as Suzhou candied fruit, sweet-scented osmanthus cake, all of which are delicious. Also, didn't you watch us kick the shuttlecock for fun before? If you come back with me, young master , I will teach you how to play, how about it?"

After all, Qi'er was a child, he was moved when he heard that there was something delicious and fun, he went to see Shi Yiqing hesitantly, neither saying yes nor saying no.

Seeing that Qi'er had lost his mind, Scopol hurriedly followed Qi'er to see Shi Yiqing: "Miss Jiu, Master Qi'er is willing to go back with me, so I will take Master Qi'er away first."

Saying that, that Scopol impatiently stepped forward and took Qi'er's hand and was about to go out, but at this moment, Qi'er repented, broke away from Scopol's hand, ran into Shi Yiqing's arms with small steps.

Shi Yiqing hugged Qi'er and said with a smile: "Qi'er, since you don't want to go back, why did you agree to your elder sister Chaoba just now? Since you agreed to her, you should let her go, why did you come back?"

Qi'er pouted and said, "I didn't promise her, she came up and forced me to leave."

Shi Yiqing looked at Scopol and said with a half-smile: " Scopol, as you can see, it's not that I'm stopping Qi'er from going with you, it's Qi'er's own wish and has nothing to do with me. I also hope that after Sister Scopol returns, Say a few good words for me in front of grandma, don't tell grandma to hate me."

Seeing that she couldn't ask Qi'er to go with her after exhausting all means, she couldn't help but feel disheartened, bid farewell to Shi Yiqing with a pale face, followed Xing'er who led the way out of the palace, and returned to Shi's house.

Qi'er, who was hiding in Shi Yiqing's arms, stretched his neck to watch Scopolamine disappear around the corner, pouted his lips unhappily and muttered, "What, he's a big liar at all."

Although Qi'er's voice was low, it was still heard by Shi Yiqing: "Qi'er, what are you mumbling about?"

"No, nothing."

Shi Yiqing collected his expression, and asked seriously: "I ask you, you always say that you are already a man, so have I ever told you what a man looks like?"

Qi'er lowered his head and buttoned up the corner of his clothes and remained silent. Shi Yiqing asked him anxiously, so he reluctantly opened his mouth: "Sister, I was wrong."

"Well, let me ask you, where did you go wrong?"

Seeing that Qi'er didn't speak again, Shi Yiqing got angry: "Qi'er, if you feel wronged, you can tell me. If what you said is right, I will apologize to you."

Qi'er raised his red eyes, blinked and said: "Sister, you are going to throw me to that old woman, you don't want me anymore, do you?"

"What old woman, that's your grandma!" Shi Yiqing said seriously, "I have no intention of throwing you here, Qi'er, I'm angry because of your actions just now! You always say you are a man, and a man must have a man If you have no intention of going with her from the beginning, you shouldn't have agreed to her. Since you promised her to go with her just now, then you shouldn't go back on your word! "

Qi'er was extremely aggrieved, and shouted with wet eyes: "I didn't, I didn't promise her, she made up her own mind and insisted on taking my hand back! Sister, I don't count if I don't say anything, really!"

Seeing Qi'er crying anxiously, Shi Yiqing felt pain in his heart, stretched out his hand to hold him in his arms, and said with a sigh and helplessness: "Qi'er, you have to know that this place is no better than our home, and there are some things and things I can't say. I always remind you and tell you that you know, so you have to be careful and careful. Remember, don’t let what happened just now happen again, or I won’t even be able to protect you, understand?"

Qi'er nodded ignorantly, and blinked at Shi Yiqing with a pair of wet eyes, which softened her heart.

He Lu, who was serving at the side, led him down to play, and Qi'er, who was crying just now with tears all over his face, hurriedly smiled brightly, and went happily.

Shi Yiqing sighed, "After all, he's just a six-year-old child."
