Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 229 Qi Wangfu (1)

Turn around the screen and enter the inner room. In the curtain made of high-quality bright moon gauze, you can vaguely see a young girl lying inside. The maids who serve are all hanging their heads and holding their breath. Can hear.

Princess Qi, who was sitting by the side, saw Cao Qingyun and Shi Yiqing coming in, hurriedly got up and greeted her: "Sister Cao, you are here, go and see Miss Fifth."

Cao Qingyun was concerned about Gao Miaoyu, hurriedly passed Princess Qi, stepped forward slowly, raised the curtain to enter the side of the bed, and softly called Gao Miaoyu's boudoir name: "Qiaoyu, Qiaoyu?"

Gao Miaoyu, the fifth young lady of the Gao family, opened her eyes and looked at Cao Qingyun in confusion, tears rolled down before she could open her mouth: "Cousin, you are here!"

Cao Qingyun has always loved this young lady from the Gao family, but seeing her full of grievances, her eyes turned red, and she said softly in a hoarse voice: "It's okay, my cousin is here, it's okay! The doctor said you just choked a few times. Kouhushui, I'll feed you a few bowls of soup and medicine, and you'll be fine."

Gao Miaoyu was regarded as the apple of the eye by Gao's family since she was a child. How could she have been wronged like this? She played petty temper and yelled: "I don't take medicine, I don't want to take medicine!"

Princess Qi, who was ashamed in her heart, stepped forward and said flatteringly: "Miss Wu, this is the ginseng chicken soup that I ordered the kitchen to cook. I have already asked the doctor, and it will help your typhoid symptoms."

"Thank you, Princess." Cao Qingyun took the white porcelain lotus bowl from the girl, and was about to feed it to Gao Miaoyu with a spoon, "Hurry up, don't disappoint the princess's heart!"

Gao Miaoyu yelled in a temper: "If it wasn't for that savage girl of her Zhou family who pushed me, how could I have fallen into the lake! Now I'm here to pretend to be a good person, I don't want to accept her favor!"

"Presumptuous!" Cao Qingyun sternly said, "Is this how the nurturing mother taught you to treat others?"

Princess Qi forced a smile with embarrassment on her face and said, "Sister Cao, what Miss Fifth said was that I didn't teach her well, and it was my fault that Miss Fifth suffered. You have an account."

Cao Qingyun hurriedly got up and got out of the curtain: "It's just two children's playfulness, the princess doesn't need to worry about it, I think when our sisters were young, who didn't stumble over here, don't say anything else, just say me and Sister Qing'er We even had a few quarrels, don't sisters get along well when they grow up?"

Concubine Qi implicitly went to see Shi Yiqing, and followed Cao Qingyun's words: "I hope it's as Sister Cao said."

"I see it's getting late today, so it's inconvenient to continue to bother me at the mansion. My sister, I'll go back with the witty words." Cao Qingyun leaned over and saluted, "Thank you, Princess, for your hospitality. I will bring her to the mansion when the witty words are better. Plead guilty."

Princess Qi took a step forward to help Cao Qingyun, and said apologetically: "Sister Cao is serious, I should bring my sister to the door to apologize."

As he said that, he called the big girl who was waiting outside to come in: "Go and get the carriage ready, and send Miss Gao Wu back home."

Cao Qingyun thanked Gao Miaoyu, and Princess Qi brought Shi Yiqing out.

Because of the matter of Gao Qiaoyu, the banquet at the mansion broke up in a quarrel, and after seeing off the wives and ladies of the families, Princess Qi had time to go back and forth to the Nuan Pavilion to talk to Shi Yiqing.

"Sister Cao left with Miss Gao?"

Concubine Qi nodded wearily: "It's considered to be gone. You haven't seen how powerful this girl is, and she won't give up when she is fished out of the water. I insisted on calling her cousin over to talk, but fortunately Her cousin has a good idea, otherwise she might not know how to ask her to blame her."

Shi Yiqing put down the tea bowl in his hand, and asked in thought: "Is this Miss Gao Wu a girl from the second room of the Gao family?"

"It's her." Princess Qi took a big sip of water with her teacup, "Because my elder brother is the hereditary Marquis of Qi Bian, not only is she domineering in the house, but everyone in the capital doesn't know the name of this pretty girl. Oh, I forgot not to speak ill of the Gao family in front of you."

Shi Yiqing smiled lightly: "If there is anything I can't say, I won't enter Gao's house, and I won't have anything to do with this Miss Gao."

Princess Qi looked at Shi Yiqing in astonishment: "How do you say that? You even gave the child..."

"Walls have ears, it's better for the princess to be cautious in her words and deeds."

Princess Qi covered the corners of her mouth in remorse, straightened her body while holding the teacup, and said, "You have nothing to do here, step back."

A group of maids came out in response, and there were only two or three maids who were waiting for them in the huge Nuan Pavilion. Princess Qi was relieved and said with a smile: "My sister is more careful. If it wasn't for my sister's advice, I'm afraid I will take care of you." Speak up."

Shi Yiqing lowered his eyes and smiled lightly: "The princess praised me, but I just don't want the princess to ask again."

Princess Qi looked at her with her eyes, and after a while she smiled and said: "Sister, you can fool him with such a small mind, but you can't fool me. Qing'er, I sincerely treat you as my sister. You don't have to hide it from me."

She paused, and continued softly: "I married from the frontier to this huge capital city. I lost the childhood and happiness I used to have when I was young, but what I got in return was heavy shackles. Outsiders only think you are beautiful, but Who knows the bitterness behind it. If I were you, I escaped through all kinds of hardships, thinking that I could live a peaceful life, but now I am forced to stay in this place, who would be willing."

Seeing that Shi Yiqing lowered her eyes so that no one could see what she was thinking, Princess Qi thought for a while and continued: "But my sister, you should also be worried about your six-year-old brother and your infant son For the sake of your children, is it possible that you want them to stick to that idea for the rest of their lives? Who can guarantee that they won’t complain about your failure to fight when they grow up?”

"Don't tell me that you lied to that idiot Gao Qichang," Princess Qi said more and more vigorously, "He is still a general, and he can't even see through your tricks. I know your thoughts, I'm afraid you will You have to prevaricate me like others, saying that your brother and your children don't care about these things. Don't say I don't believe it, think about it carefully, even you can't lie to yourself!"

Shi Yiqing looked up at her: "Is my sister here to help you be a lobbyist?"

Seeing her reaction, Princess Qi quickly said, "I'm not going to be a lobbyist for anyone, nor do I want to force you to be pushed into the pit of fire, I just want to tell you what I think. The Gao family is already in I'm looking for a wife for Gao Qichang. Not long ago, the emperor said that he would give him the owner of Shanghe County. He said in front of all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty that a man can't start a family before he establishes a career. Then something happened to you, Your Majesty. That’s why let it go.”

She thought for a while, and smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid I'm talking too much, but I'm making you think too much for no reason."

Shi Yiqing smiled, showing no emotional fluctuations: "It's okay, he mentioned it to me yesterday."

"Yes, you and your husband are very affectionate, and he will never hide anything from you."

Shi Yiqing saw that Princess Qi's expression was a bit sad, and then she thought that although King Qi Li Can and Princess Qi were on the same page, but in this deep palace compound, there might be too many obstacles between the two of them, so they would be unfamiliar: "What the princess said is true!" Are you envious? My friend, when he coaxed me, he said well, he settled the affairs in Beijing and then went back to Feishui Town with me. Now he has just put down the bandits in Qimen Mountain, and he is going to work hard on Yulin I haven't seen each other for three or four days when I got busy with military drills. I finally saw each other and was called away in the middle of the night. I am so dissatisfied, but I dare not show it in front of outsiders. , Tell me, I’ve already become so angry before I entered Gao’s house, if I enter Gao’s house, I don’t have a bright future.”

Princess Qi saw that it was rare for her to say so much to herself, and she smiled back at her: "This thousand-year-old daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law, and now your mother-in-law has raised the Gao family's son-in-law alone, and now he is promising again. Show off your power in front of you for a while, otherwise how can you be worthy of Gao Qichang's title of general."

Shi Yiqing smiled, but never complained about Gao Qichang's mother, the eldest lady of the Gao family, with Princess Qi.

Whether in the previous life or in the present life, Shi Yiqing had very little contact with the Gao family, and never thought that one day he would have any intersection with that staunch Mrs. Gao. that is.

The girl serving outside the door hurriedly came in to salute: "Princess, the third lady is clamoring to go back, but was stopped by the foster mother."

Concubine Qi frowned impatiently: "I know that I will cause trouble. Sister Qing'er, then I won't be with you for now."

"It's time for me to go back and see how Qi'er's homework is going." Shi Yiqing got up and followed Princess Qi out of the Nuan Pavilion.

Farewell to Princess Qi, walked along the corridor to the backyard, saw a stone bridge standing on the lake from a distance, pointed to the lake and asked the girl who led the way: "Is this the place where the two young ladies quarreled just now?"

The girl replied with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes: "If you go back to Miss Shi, it's here."

"Do you know why the two ladies are arguing?"

The girl lowered her head: "The servants don't know what Miss Hui said."

Seeing that she refused to speak, Shi Yiqing didn't ask any more, let her lead the way back to the yard, changed into his normal clothes, and then went to guide Qi'er to practice calligraphy.

At noon, the sun turned to the west, and the old lady of the Shi family, Mrs. Meng, sent two groups of people to come to ask for an interview. The first time, Princess Qi stopped her and said that there was an important matter in the house and she was not allowed to meet each other. See you again.However, Shi's family refused to come here again and again, insisting on seeing Shi Yiqing, Princess Qi had no choice but to lure people to look for Shi Yiqing.

When Qi'er heard that the Shi family had sent someone to pick her up, she resisted and yelled: "I don't want to go back with you!"

The old woman of the Shi family looked at Shi Yiqing in embarrassment: "Miss Nine, the old lady has said harsh words, if we can't bring Master Qi'er back, we will suffer a lot!"
