Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 228 Meeting acquaintances (2)

Prince Qi's mansion was magnificently arranged by Princess Qi, and a banquet was held in a leeward place. There were many relatives and relatives in the capital. No matter what happened in the past, today they were all full of smiles, which gave Princess Qi enough face.

Shi Yiqing followed the girl leading the way and walked forward slowly to salute: "Shi Jiayiqing has met Wangfei, Wangfei Wan'an."

Princess Qi went forward to hold her hand with a smile, and came out with an affectionate look: "You and my sister, why should you be so polite. It's windy today, why don't you ask Jianliu to bring you some clothes. Xiang Er, Go and get my cloak and put it on Miss Jiu."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone and amidst the discussions, Xiang Er, the maid who served Princess Qi with her, came back with a cloak of gold and silver threads, and put it on for Shi Yiqing.

Princess Qi took Shi Yiqing's hand and said to the crowd: "Sisters, look quickly, she is not a fairy descending to the mortal world."

For the sake of Princess Qi's face, everyone said it was pretty, and there were one or two people who flattered Princess Qi and couldn't wait to come forward to talk to Shi Yiqing, either saying that the purse embroidered by the girl was beautiful, or that the ears of wheat played by the girl were beautiful .The conversation was so boring that Shi Yiqing almost kept silent.

Most of the people who came to the banquet today did not know Shi Yiqing and had a relationship with Shi Yiqing. For example, Princess Yan Shi Fuyu never came because she avoided Shi Yiqing. Except for a moment or two of fate before, the only ones who had met Shi Yiqing were Xianghe County Lord and Cao Qingyun. up.

Shi Yiqing finally made an excuse to go to the side to take a look, avoiding everyone and going to a quieter place, never thought, just led Jianliu into a secluded place, and saw Cao Qingyun standing in the yard.

"Why is Sister Cao here?" Seeing that she couldn't escape, Shi Yiqing stepped forward to salute her generously.

Seeing Shi Yiqing approaching, Cao Qingyun was stunned for a moment, then turned his eyes and smiled lightly: "Sister Shi's sister still talks about me, isn't she also hiding here?"

The girl accompanying Cao Qingyun stepped forward and reported: "Ma'am, the house has been cleaned, please go in and talk with Miss Shi."

Cao Qingyun nodded, turned to look at Shi Yiqing and smiled lightly: "If sister Qing'er doesn't mind, I brought some high-quality green tea over, you and I might as well simmer on the fire and drink some tea to keep warm."

"It's disrespectful, thank you sister for your hospitality."

In the room, musk and spices from the Western Regions were burning in the incense burner inlaid with animal heads inlaid with gold patterns. Willing to use it to smoke the house."

Cao Qingyun let the girl take off her cloak, washed her hands with a copper basin filled with petal water, and said with a smile: "It's just to pretend to be in front of others. This is all I have for this spice. I was reluctant to part with it in the past." to use."

The two sat down as host and guest, and the girl serving Cao Qingyun washed her hands and wiped her fingers carefully with a clean handkerchief, then knelt on the futon and began to make tea seriously and piously.

Seeing that she looked familiar, Shi Yiqing couldn't help but look twice more, and after a while he smiled and said, "I said why she looks so familiar. I only found out after I started making tea. Isn't this girl the tea master Dong Niangzi's beloved apprentice? Make my sister a girl?"

Cao Qingyun raised his eyebrows and smiled, with unstoppable pride in his eyes: "Sister Qing'er has good eyesight, she can actually spot her. Cough, I went to Mrs. Dong's place a few years ago, and I talked a lot about this girl, and the tea she made was delicious. She has half of her skills, so Mrs. Dong asked the girl to follow me, saying that she told me to cultivate this girl well. As a woman who was trapped in the boudoir since childhood, I don't know what I can teach this girl."

"Elder Sister Cao had a special liking for tea when she was young. No one in Beijing knows it. Madam Dong also loves this girl very much. Otherwise, why would she be asked to follow her elder sister?"

"If my sister likes it, why don't I borrow flowers to present Buddha and give this girl to my sister?"

Shi Yiqing lowered her eyes and smiled: "I want to ask her to follow me, but I don't have so much good tea for her to make."

Cao Qingyun held the teacup and sniffed the fragrance at the bottom of the cup. After all, she was reluctant to just give it to Shi Yiqing, so she followed her words: "If my sister is greedy in the future, she can come to my house. My sister will only call this girl. Brew the best tea for you."

Shi Yiqing thanked Cao Qingyun with a smile, seeing that the girl had already made a bowl of tea, she ate it along with Cao Qingyun, chatted some worldly jokes, and was very happy.

Just when the two were talking and laughing in the quiet courtyard, the girl who was waiting outside broke in and said: "Miss, Miss Shi, go ahead and have a look, Miss Gao has fallen into the water!"

Cao Qingyun was stunned: "Miss Gao's family? But Marquis Qi Bian's Gao family? In such a cold day, what should I do if I get frozen! Sister Qing'er, I think we should go and have a look!"

After finishing speaking, Cao Qingyun led Shi Yiqing out of the yard in a hurry, and followed the girl who came to report to the back garden.

"It's fine, why did it fall into the water?" Cao Qingyun asked anxiously, "Is there no one around to watch?"

Seeing that the girl was timid and dared not speak, Shi Yiqing hurriedly took Cao Qingyun's hand and said, "This girl is not serving by Miss Gao's side, and she doesn't know what she does if you ask her. I think we should hurry over and have a look. See if there's anything we can do to help."

The girl led Cao Qingyun and Shi Yiqing around the veranda and arrived at a spacious yard. As soon as they entered, they saw many nuns and maids making a mess of porridge, and they didn't know what to do.

The mother who was in charge of Prince Qi's mansion saw Cao Qingyun and Shi Yiqing approaching, hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects: "Madam, Miss Shi, the princess is not free right now, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you two, why don't you go down with the servants to rest first."

Cao Qingyun frowned impatiently: "I am so ignorant, I know there is something going on in the house, but I still want to disturb the princess? Let me ask you, but the fifth lady of the Gao family fell into the water? Where are you resting now? I haven't been in the cold for a long time. ?”

Shi Yiqing was not pretending to be nervous when she saw the details of her question, and couldn't help being taken aback for a while, before remembering that an aunt from the Cao family married a master from the Gao family, and that she would give birth to this Fifth Miss.

Seeing that Cao Qingyun insisted on going in, the mother in charge had no choice but to bite the bullet and go in to answer. After a while, she came out with the words of the princess to welcome Cao Qingyun and Shi Yiqing in.

The warmly scented room was twice as warm as a spring day. Shi Yiqing followed Cao Qingyun and turned around the screen, and everything he looked at was extremely luxurious, which made people speechless.Regardless of the preciousness of the porcelain next to it, the carpet on the ground was paid tribute from Persia, and the entire Dayan Dynasty was probably left alone.
