Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 61
Shi Yiqing frowned and lowered her eyes, and lightly swept across the swaying bead curtain, her cold voice was like the cool autumn wind: "Mo Xian, you go with me."

Madam Xu clenched her sleeves tightly, but stopped talking.Mo Xian was given by the old lady. Although the old lady is so nice to Shi Yiqing now, who can know that the old lady has other thoughts?Maybe this Mo Xian was appointed by the old lady to make eyeliner.

When she came out of Fahua Temple today, Shi Yiqing didn't want the girl to follow her. Madam Xu thought that since the Lord of Yinshan County said that she wanted to see Shi Yiqing, she wanted to keep Shi Yiqing to stay at the mansion for a while. A few days.If you don't bring your own maid, I'm afraid it's not polite.

But it seems that none of the people around Shi Yiqing can be trusted now.That Yinxiu was the first unreliable person, Madam Xu let Yinxiu stay in Fahua Temple because of her own selfishness, and brought Mo Xian and Jianliu with her.But now, Nanny Xu actually began to regret what she had done.

If Mo Xian was really the old lady's eyeliner, Shi Yiqing's contacts with the Xiao family would definitely not be able to escape the old lady's eyes.

"Miss, it's better for the old slave to go with the lady. After all..."

"After all, Mammy used to be from the Xiao family, so she is more familiar with every plant and tree in the Xiao family, isn't she?" Shi Yiqing had already stood up, and casually cast a glance at Mammy Xu. As if trapped in a world of ice and snow, an invisible pressure forced her not to raise her eyes to meet Shi Yiqing.

Seeing Madam Xu's trembling appearance, Shi Yiqing's heart softened a little.In the past and present, in her most difficult days, Madam Xu has always been by her side, never leaving her.Even though Madam Xu has too many secrets, and Mama Xu has inextricably linked with the Xiao family, Mama Xu's heart for her is always the same.Why did she have to be so harsh on Mother Xu?
"It is precisely because Mammy was an old man of the Xiao family that Miss intentionally let Mammy stay. This is also for the convenience of Mammy, so that Mammy can catch up with the old sisters in the past. Mammy should be grateful to Miss It is."

Jian Liu, who had been lowering his head to tidy up Shi Yiqing's clothes, had a brisk tone, as if what Shi Yiqing and Madam Xu said were the most commonplace.

Shi Yiqing glanced at Jianliu appreciatively, this girl is getting more and more winking.Jianliu and Yinxiu, one is intelligent and introverted, the other is straightforward and simple. In her previous life, she was too eager for quick success and ignored the feelings of people around her, which prompted both Jianliu and Yinxiu to betray her.In this life, he must not be so careless, he must completely win over the hearts of these people.

Compared with Shi Yiqing, Mother Xu looked at Jianliu with much more complicated eyes.Jian Liu didn't care, just smiled and said to Mo Xian: "Hurry up and help the young lady to go, the county master is waiting."

Mo Xian agreed briskly, then supported Shi Yiqing and followed the little girl out, with a pure and innocent expression on her face.

Shi Yiqing smiled slightly, this girl looked heartless.

Following the little girl through the Moon Cave Gate, she passed through several courtyards in a row, and then walked through a hand-painted veranda, before arriving at a Hanging Flower Gate.

Shi Yiqing was a little surprised. In her previous life, although she often came to Xiao's mansion with her eldest sister Shi Xuanfu as a guest, and often met with Yinshan county lord, she was in the main courtyard of Xiao's mansion and had never traveled such a long way.Based on the memory of his previous life, Shi Yiqing knew that this was not the way to the main courtyard, so he couldn't help but secretly became vigilant.

The little girl seemed to have seen Shi Yiqing's thoughts, and said with a light smile: "If Miss Biao is tired, just walk slowly, the county master is not in a hurry."

Shi Yiqing saw that this little girl was only seven or eight years old, but she had an extremely delicate face, with big watery eyes, and two shallow dimples revealed when she smiled. , "Are you the girl next to the county lord? What's your name? How old are you this year?"

The little girl nodded and said with a smile: "In the words of Miss Biao, the servant girl is called He Lu. She is eight years old this year. She is a third-class girl in the county lord's courtyard. She only does some errand work. Fortunately, she is not stupid. Finally I haven't done any errands assigned by the county lord."

While talking, the two of them had already passed the Hanging Flower Gate.

Shi Yiqing pointed to the door behind him again, and asked: "I just remembered that when I came here with my little sister, they obviously went to the main courtyard to visit the county lord, why did you go to the front courtyard?"

He Lu glanced at Shi Yiqing timidly, looked around, and then said in a low voice, "Miss Biao doesn't know, this is not the hanging flower gate leading to the front yard, but the hanging flower gate of our Xiao Mansion and the county lord's mansion."

Shi Yiqing let out an "oh", and understood a little bit in his heart.Although the Xiao Mansion is nominally headed by Yinshan county lord, Mrs. Xiao is actually in charge.Presumably because of the premature death of the aunt, the granddaughter of the aunt has married far away, and the health of the County Lord Yinshan is not very good when she comes here, she may have gradually lost her desire for power, so she moved from the main courtyard of the Xiao Mansion. Let's go back to the county lord's mansion which is separated by a wall from Xiao's mansion.

Seeing that the expression on Shi Yiqing's face remained unchanged, He Lu stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "Miss Biao doesn't know how much the county lord loves our seventh lady. She is recuperating in bed, but when she heard that Miss Seven came back from Fahua Temple, she refused to listen to anyone's advice and insisted on going to the main courtyard, no, she couldn't hold on..."

He Lu didn't continue her words, but her palm-sized face was full of worry.

Shi Yiqing was even more surprised. Is Lord Yinshan's health already so bad?That being the case, why are you in such a hurry to see her?

Compared with Xiao's mansion, the county lord's mansion does not appear to be small, on the contrary, it is even more luxurious.Turning around the majestic rockery in the garden, you can see a large area of ​​black chrysanthemums.Shi Yiqing was taken aback, the type of black chrysanthemum is not common, and now a single plant in the world is priceless, and there are so many in the Yinshan county lord's mansion, which shows that the Yinshan county lord was favored and generous back then.

Because of Shi Yiqing and Mo Xian, He Lu entered a water pavilion next to the black chrysanthemum bushes.

The location of this water pavilion is very good. It is built near the water, and it can have a panoramic view of the black chrysanthemums in front of you. It can be said to be a good place for viewing.It's just that now that County Lord Yinshan is suffering from the wind and cold, he deliberately chooses such a place to meet her, which is even more strange.

He Lu only led Shi Yiqing to the door, and a pretty girl came to draw up the curtain for Shi Yiqing.

Shi Yiqing didn't look sideways, and walked steadily into the water pavilion while supporting Mo Xian's hand.This water pavilion looks huge from the outside, but it is actually just a small and exquisite room.Carved trap doors are made all around. If it is summer, all the doors and windows can be opened to escape the heat.Now it was almost mid-autumn, the doors and windows were tightly closed, and a cauldron of silver frost charcoal was still burning in the middle of the room, and some unknown incense was lit, which made people feel a little dizzy.

The Lord of Yinshan County is leaning on the imperial concubine's bed at the moment, with his eyes slightly closed, as if he is taking a nap. A girl is beating her legs and feet lightly with a beauty hammer. The lord whispered in his ear: "County lord, Miss Biao is here."

The county magistrate heard the words, slowly opened his eyes, and two stern eyes fell on Shi Yiqing.Even though Shi Yiqing was calm, he couldn't help but secretly tense up in his heart.If she hadn't already had the experience of her previous life, she might be really shocked by the Lord Yinshan at this moment.

"Qing'er has met the county magistrate." Shi Yiqing calmed down, supported Mo Xian's hand, then knelt down and gave a big gift to the county magistrate of Yinshan.Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the girl's movement when she was about to get up but was held down by Lord Yinshan, and sneered secretly.

If Shi Yiqing's predictions were correct, then the girl might get up and bring her a brocade mat so that she could kneel down and salute the Lord Yinshan.Unexpectedly, the county lord of Yinshan held the girl tightly, just because he wanted to give Shi Yiqing a blow.

Shi Yiqing would not get angry over such a trivial matter.Now he knelt on the cold marble floor without hesitation, and straightened up after kowtowing his head, his expression was neither humble nor overbearing, his eyes were half-downcast, extremely respectful.

Shi Yiqing understood very well that on the one hand, County Lord Yinshan wanted to use the coercion of the County Lord to suppress her, a little concubine, and on the other hand, he also intended to test her.What's more, in terms of law, Shi Yiqing is just a little concubine, and she should kneel down when she sees the county lord. In terms of reason, the Yinshan county lord is Shi Yiqing's grandmother who turned around. What does Shi Yiqing say about this? It is also to be smashed.

Sure enough, Shi Yiqing's respectful attitude won the goodwill of Lord Yinshan, and Lord Yinshan squeezed the hand of the girl next to him. The girl understood, hurried forward, and helped Shi Yiqing up with both hands.

Only then did the county magistrate of Yinshan chuckle and said: "My good boy, you are here with grandma, what are you doing seeing me like this? Come here quickly, come to grandma and let grandma take a closer look." His eyes were calm, no Every bit of a smile.

But it's just a joke.Shi Yiqing understood, so she held onto the girl's hand, caught up with the girl in a few steps, and held the hand of the county magistrate of Yinshan, two lines of tears dripped down her cheeks: "Grandmother, Qing'er can see that you are old I haven't seen you for many years, and Qing'er really misses her grandmother in her heart!"

County Lord Yinshan was taken aback for a moment, she just said a few words casually, just to save face, but Shi Yiqing climbed up the pole, and really started to talk about love with her.

"Good boy, don't cry, you're crying and breaking grandma's heart." As expected of a member of the royal family, the county magistrate of Yinshan did not reveal anything in his performances, and at this moment he even brought Shi Yiqing along He took a handkerchief and wiped his eyes silently.People who don't know, seeing this scene, thought how close Shi Yiqing was to the Lord Yinshan County.
