Chapter 821 Feeling Misunderstood, Don't Mess Around

Qi Qiaoqiao and Qi Yuan sent Baili Duan away. They went back to their residences and glanced at each other. Qi Yuan wanted to ask this sister a lot in his heart, and finally he only sighed and said, "What's the matter?" Let’s talk about it tomorrow, you have been tired all day today, it’s getting late, go to rest early!”

Qi Qiaoqiao nodded, said a few words to Qi Yuan, told him to rest earlier, and then went back to the room.

Qi Yuan had already prepared a servant girl for Qi Qiaoqiao before. Even though the Duke of Ling’s family had a great business in the past, after such an incident, Qi Yuan returned to Beijing and was appreciated by the emperor, so it can only be regarded as a new start. These servants who waited and managed the house did not know where to find them.

At the beginning, Qi Yuan was always alone, living in a huge mansion of the Duke of Ling with the old servant who came back from the northwest and the servant who followed him in the northwest.

Later, when the old servant heard that Qi Qiaoqiao was back, he tried to find some servants for Qi Qiaoqiao. After all, a few men were enough, and the little girl couldn't live without maids.

The person who escorted Qi Yuan away back then was also a competent person around Duke Ling. Although he didn't take care of housework for many years, he got started quickly, and arranged the people around Qi Qiaoqiao in just a few days.

Although they are all newly purchased girls, they have also served in rich families, so they don't need to spend a lot of time teaching them, and they are all sensible and clever.

Qi Qiaoqiao saw that the maidservants were very clever, so he asked them what their names were.

These people are almost all the officials who committed crimes and ransacked their homes. They were not hired as servants, and they were bought into the Lingguo mansion. Their previous names are not allowed to be called again. The current names are new after they arrived in the Lingguo mansion. Name: "Zhilan, Baiting, Furong, Qiangwei."

After Qi Qiaoqiao heard this, he pursed his lips and smiled and said, "So it was changed after Hua's name, not bad...it's just your original names, do you still remember them?"

The two named Zhilan and Bai Ting said: "The first master changed the names of the servants to Hongdou and Xiangsi."

Qi Qiaoqiao frowned and looked at the two of them, they were also pretty and smart, and such a name sounded a bit poetic, so he nodded and said, "Then let's call it the original name." Nanguo', 'This thing is the most lovesick', you two names are a good match, so you are together?"

The two nodded, Qi Qiaoqiao looked at Furong and Qiangwei again and said, "What about you? Do you still remember your old name?"

Fu Rong and Qiang Wei nodded and said, "The slaves are called Nan Zhi and Jun Luo."

After hearing this, Qi Qiaoqiao burst out laughing, looked at the two of them and said, "The names of the four of you match quite well, that's all, let's call them the original ones. You don't need to change them, it sounds better on the contrary."

The four bowed down and said, "Yes."

Qi Qiaoqiao's first night as the eldest lady in Linguogong's mansion passed like this.

Early the next morning, Qi Qiaoqiao was woken up by Hongdou.

"Miss Qiaoqiao, the Duke told you to wake up and go see him."

Qi Qiaoqiao had already developed a biological clock in the palace, and would wake up on time when the time came. Who knew that he slept soundly on the first night in the Duke's Mansion, and the sky was already pale when he was woken up by Hongdou.

Qi Qiaoqiao rubbed his eyes and said, "What time is it?"

Hongdou's face was not very good-looking, he hesitated and said: "The Duke has already returned from court..."

Qi Qiaoqiao gave a soft "ah", then lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and said to Hongdou, "Why didn't brother wake me up earlier if he wanted to see me, where is he now?"

Everyone in the Great Chu Dynasty liked to get up early, especially the noble officials. The women in the family woke up earlier than the other. If a girl could not afford to pay three poles a day, she would be laughed at and uneducated, and she would not be able to marry.

Qi Qiaoqiao knew this unwritten custom, so when he heard that Qi Yuan had already fallen to court, he hurriedly asked someone to dress and tidy up, and went to see his third brother.

Qi Yuan grew up in the army, and he has a strong sense of time and rules. Qi Qiaoqiao felt that he had just met his brother, and he was afraid that being scolded on the first day would be inevitable, and he had already thought of many reasons to escape. This training session.

Who knew that after seeing Qi Qiaoqiao, Qi Yuan just smiled and said: "Why did you get up so late, but because you didn't have a good rest last night?"

Qi Qiaoqiao looked at the breakfast on Qi Yuan's table, porridge and side dishes, which looked very delicious, so he stuck out his tongue and said, "No, probably because I slept soundly, so I didn't wake up, but my brother was very early. "

Qi Yuan nodded and signaled Qi Qiaoqiao to sit down, seemingly inadvertently, and also as if he was deliberately testing Qi Qiaoqiao, and said to her: "Although His Royal Highness Qi loves you, if you marry into his family, I'm afraid you can't." So tired."

Only then did Qi Qiaoqiao's eyes widen, and Qi Yuan said, "What did brother say?!"

Qi Yuan glanced at Qi Qiaoqiao, and said calmly, "Isn't it? I remember hearing someone mention it in Beijing before. If this girl came to her mother-in-law's house to sleep in every day, she would be looked down upon by her mother-in-law. Although Concubine Luo Shu You are in the palace, but it is inevitable that someone will be sent to the house to watch you, so you can't slack off..."

Hearing that Qi Yuan seemed to have misunderstood what he meant, Qi Qiaoqiao hurriedly raised his hand to stop his chattering, and said to Qi Yuan, "Brother, you are thinking wrong, who wants to marry His Royal Highness King Qi?"

Qi Yuan looked at Qi Qiaoqiao and said as it should: "Of course it's you, could it be me, brother?"

Qi Qiaoqiao was left speechless by Qi Yuan's words, but still resisted fiercely: "I, I didn't say that I would marry His Highness Qi Wang, there is nothing between me and His Highness Qi Wang..."

Qi Yuan glanced at the servant girl who was waiting by his side, raised his hand to tell them to go out, and then said to Qi Qiaoqiao: "No? King Qi and elder brother fought together in the frontier. I don't know how many times I've heard him mention you." What’s the matter? Don’t you two love each other, but I clearly remember King Qi mentioned that we will get married when we return to Beijing.”

Qi Qiaoqiao shook his head and said: "No, His Royal Highness Qi Wang misunderstood, and I didn't mean that in my heart."

Qi Yuan nodded, glanced at Qi Qiaoqiao and said, "You're almost eighteen, and when you're at the age to marry, if you don't like King Qi, then you have your own heart?"

Qi Qiaoqiao lowered her head and did not speak. She wanted to tell Qi Yuan, but for some reason, she lowered her head after thinking about it.

Seeing that Qi Qiaoqiao didn't speak, Qi Yuan thought she was shy. Girls in the capital are reserved, and they are slightly different from the folk customs in the northwest where Qi Yuan grew up. Therefore, Qi Yuan didn't ask any more questions, just Qi Qiaoqiao said: "His Royal Highness Qi has a deep affection for your sister. If you don't have a heart, you can still consider it."

Qi Qiaoqiao didn't answer his words, but just nodded. The two were silent for a while, and then talked about the years of separation.
