Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 227 Meeting acquaintances (1)

Winter hadn't come yet, but it was getting colder and colder day and night, fortunately Madam Xu asked Uncle Zhong to prepare winter clothes for Shi Yiqing a few days ago, and Princess Qi specially ordered someone to send some high-quality silver charcoal over, It's actually warm.

He Lu was most afraid of the cold, so she gathered around the small stove and said joyfully, "Miss, Princess Qi is really a good person, everything in the house is complicated, and we only stay at her house for a few days, she can still be so considerate, it can be seen It's because of the respect for Miss."

He Mu, who was waiting on Shi Yiqing's hair, heard this, and hurriedly said: "Miss is a guest invited by the princess, so of course you can't neglect it. Today is a good day for the princess to entertain ladies and ladies from famous families in the capital. If you don't come here to help, steal What a lazy!"

He Lu was reprimanded by her sister, her face was displeased, but she didn't dare to refute, she reluctantly left beside the small stove, and followed He Mu to help Shi Yiqing's hair and make up.It's just that this girl is still a child after all, so she forgot what happened just now.

Shi Yiqing was impatient to do her makeup in front of the mirror, if Princess Qi hadn't posted the post, she might have found some excuse to push it down.Shi Yiqing saw that the woman in the Linghua mirror described her as delicate and charming, with impatience undisguised from her brows, so she pushed the mirror away in surprise for a moment, and stopped looking at it.

Jianliu has been by Shi Yiqing's side since he was a child, and he is the one who can understand Shi Yiqing's expression the most. Seeing her like this now, he can guess at least seven or eight points, so he smiled and stepped forward to persuade: "Miss, no matter how you don't like it, just look at her." Princess Qi's face shouldn't be like this."

Shi Yiqing withdrew her expression, and said with a blank expression: "If I didn't owe Princess Qi a huge favor, why would I do this?"

Princess Qi's people came to remind her, Shi Yiqing led Jianliu and He Mu to the reception hall with the visitors.

Qi Wang Li Can's biological mother is the current queen, not only of noble birth, but also deeply loved by the emperor.It is said that Li Can, king of Qi, could write at the age of three, recite poems at the age of five, and had already been enlightened with a bachelor of the Imperial Academy at the age of seven. In the evening, I am afraid that the position of prince should belong to King Qi.

The girl who led the way smiled and brought Shi Yiqing to the side hall, and said in a soft voice: "Miss Shi, please stay here for a while, the princess is waiting in front to welcome guests, I'm afraid she will come over later."

Seeing the girl bring tea over, Jianliu backed out, and said to Shi Yiqing in a low voice: "Miss, things are a bit strange."

Shi Yiqing took a sip of the tea, and said in a cold voice: "Since it's here, it's safe. Anyway, you and I are here, why don't you see what happens."

"County lord, let me just say, you can't scare the younger sister of the Shi family with this move." Cao Qingyun, who was wearing a maroon purple lotus root dress, lifted the curtain from the back of the hall and looked at Shi Yiqing with a half-smile.

"As my sister said, the younger sister of the Shi family can be so calm, I really admire my elder sister." Xiang He obviously came out, walked up to Shi Yiqing and said with a smile, "I just wanted to give my sister a surprise. It would be reckless if I didn't think about it, I shocked my sister, and I still have to ask my sister to forgive me."

Shi Yiqing smiled lightly and went forward to meet the two of them: "We haven't seen each other for many years, the two elder sisters are like when they were teenagers, they haven't changed at all, and my younger sister is really jealous."

Cao Qingyun held a handkerchief and smiled: "Sister Shi's mouth is still as sweet as before."

The head of Xianghe County nodded and said: "I saw my younger sister once in the Empress Dowager's Fulu Palace. At that time, my younger sister was following the Empress Dowager to listen to Master Chen's lecture, but she didn't dare to disturb her. It is a pity that she left the palace. I also thought that if I have time in the future, I must find my sister to talk to, and now I really see my sister at the place of Princess Qi."

"I think this is also the fate of our sisters. We can meet again after many years." Cao Qingyun sighed deliberately, "It's a pity that the Xiao family sister is missing."

"Sister Cao, today is a good day for Princess Qi's banquet, and our sisters will reunite after a long absence. You should bring up something that makes my sister sad, so you shouldn't slap me!" One singing and one harmony, full of tacit understanding.

Cao Qingyun pretended to be remorseful, covered the corner of his mouth and said apologetically: "Look at my mouth, it's useless to say something, what the county lord said is true, I really should slap my mouth!"

Shi Yiqing lowered his eyes to cover the sneer in his eyes, and put on a delicate look of looking at things and thinking about others: "County Master, Qing'er thinks that Sister Cao is right, now you and I are the three of us, and Xiao Jiaqi will be missing." Sister."

The Lord of Xianghe County and Cao Qingyun looked at each other, and opened their mouth tentatively: "Sister Shi, this matter has been going on for so many years, and the deceased has passed away, so don't be sad anymore. I think the seventh sister of the Xiao family will know about it underground. I will also feel sorry for you. By the way, I wonder if the bandits who robbed you were ever caught? I remember that the emperor was furious and insisted on giving the Xiao family and the Shi family an explanation!"

"I don't know if the bandits caught me or not," Shi Yiqing said calmly, "Back then I fled separately from the Xiao family's seventh sister, and I was hidden in the farmhouse by the foster mother and a few girls. You are safe and in exile with me. Later, I wanted to try my best to return home. Suddenly, I heard that the Xiao family and the Shi family had brought the matter to the emperor. The emperor comforted the two families with mourning after death. He was already dead in the middle of the capital, so he gave up the idea of ​​going back, took the gem from his grandmother, found a quiet place to live, and managed to do some work to support himself."

Cao Qingyun didn't find out what he wanted to know, so he was not discouraged, and he seemed to speak sympathetically: "Sister Shi's family has been living abroad for many years, and she must have suffered a lot."

"It's not bad." Shi Yiqing saw the trick, "After all, I was fostered in the countryside when I was young, and I can adapt there."

The magistrate of Xianghe quickly interrupted and said: "I heard that you were kidnapped when you came back this time? It is said that the queen mother was very angry when she heard about it, and said that she wanted to investigate to the end and severely punish you? It can be seen that the queen mother takes pity on you. "

Shi Yiqing replied with a strange smile, "The Empress Dowager is kind."

Cao Qingyun saw that Xianghe county master was bumping into walls everywhere, so he just looked at himself with his eyes, and smiled with downcast eyes: "The Queen Mother has been with the Buddha for many years, and there is an eminent monk like Master Chen preaching scriptures and chanting Buddha by her side. It’s unknown if his heart can save all sentient beings.” He paused for a moment, then carefully scrutinized Shi Yiqing’s expression, “I only heard rumors from people in the palace that Mrs. Chen looked at my younger sister very highly, and intends to lead her to become a monk?”

The head of Xianghe County smiled comfortably: "If my younger sister has become a monk with Master Chen, what should I do with the child who has just been born?"

Cao Qingyun was startled, turned to look at the Xianghe county magistrate, forced a smile and said: "The county magistrate should ask the younger sister of the Shi family to answer her words. Could it be that this child has only a mother and no father?"

Shi Yiqing sneered repeatedly in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. Seeing Cao Qingyun and Xianghe county magistrate looking at him, he covered the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, "You two sisters, I think we should not ask Princess Qi to wait for a long time. Now, you have to get seated quickly."

After speaking, she stood up and greeted her: "My sister is not feeling well and needs to change clothes, so I won't sit with the two sisters. I will take my leave first."

After sending Shi Yiqing away, the Xianghe county magistrate revealed a smile on his face, and said with a snort, "You're just a girl from a filthy family, and she's showing off in front of me."

Cao Qingyun sneered, "Let me just say, among the girls in the Shi family, she is the most monkey spirit. You just don't believe me, so you insist on mentioning some child."

"Are you blaming me for this?"

Cao Qingyun sat low on the back of the chair, slowly sipping tea with a cup of tea: "The county magistrate thinks too much, sister, I never said that I complained about my sister."

The county magistrate of Xianghe turned her head and sat beside her with a cold snort: "It's all right now, then Shi Yiqing is troubled, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get something out of her innermost part."

Cao Qingyun looked calm: "I have a way to tell her to speak out. It's just..."

"Just what?"

Cao Qingyun leaned forward and approached Xianghe County Lord, and said in a low voice: "If you think about it, my sister also knows my temperament, so I can't afford it early. If this is done, then I will take your valuable things, sister But don't feel bad."

The county magistrate of Xianghe put on a stern face unwillingly: "I don't think that Shi Yiqing is someone who can let you find out the news of Shi's family easily. Don't talk big, it won't work, and it will hurt me instead."

"My sister just said whether she would like to give it or not."

The Lord of Xianghe County hesitated again and again, then sighed, and said, "Forget it, don't you just like the night pearl that the Nanhai County King seized from the Japanese pirates, and I will give it to you."

Cao Qingyun was overjoyed: "Sister, is it a deal?"

The magistrate of Xianghe County snorted and said: "As long as you do things well, let alone a night pearl, when the time comes, I will go to His Royal Highness to ask for credit for you, and I will give you more than just a night pearl! Sister Yun'er, as long as you can Telling who the father of the child is from Shi Yiqing's mouth, you have made great achievements. When the big thing is done, let alone your wimpy husband, even your Cao family is full of glory, and I am proud of you what!"

"Sister, as long as you mean what you say, I don't expect the deposed prince hiding in the false Chu to give me any promises. I only want Ye Mingzhu." Cao Qingyun fiddled with the silk scarf in his hand, "Also, my sister advises the county magistrate, I know that the deposed prince promised my sister a huge benefit, but the matter is of great importance, the county lord, you should think about it. At that time, even if you are the county head, I am afraid that you will die."

The Xianghe county magistrate was startled, and smiled reluctantly: "My sister's words are becoming more and more incomprehensible, and I am terrified to hear my sister. I think it's getting late, Princess Qi is still waiting, it's time to go out."
