the first lady

Chapter 27

Zongzheng Yi was stunned at first, then shook his head, and said, "Seeing is believing is believing. I only believe what I see. I came here just to apologize to you."

"Apologize to me? Because of your maid?" Qiao Linger asked pretending not to know.

Zong Zhengyi didn't deny it, and said frankly: "I thought it was for her benefit that I told her to let her go to practice in the daytime, but I didn't expect that she would get angry with you because of it."

"You let her go?" Qiao Linger asked sensitively, and after getting his nod, she asked again: "Is she your concubine?" I heard that the maids around men in ancient times were basically tools for warming the bed. If you are favored, you may be promoted from a maid to a concubine, but the possibility of being a wife is relatively small.

Hearing this, Zongzheng Yi couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a broken smile, "Why do you think so?"

"Didn't she serve you since childhood?" With such a beautiful woman by his side, didn't he pick it up?

"So she is my concubine?" Although many ancient men were like this, he was not like others.

Qiao Linger blinked her eyes, as if she didn't quite believe what he said. "Then she treats you..." She could clearly see the way Yue Mei looked at Zong Zhengyi, which was beyond the look between master and servant.

"I used to regard her as my own younger sister, and I had no personal affection for her..." Zong Zhengyi said seriously.As for who he regards Yuemei as now, he just needs to be clear in his heart.

Such an explanation immediately made Qiao Ling'er raise her eyebrows high, "It doesn't matter to me what you say to her, and I don't want to bother, anyway, as long as she doesn't touch my bottom line, if she touches my bottom line, I won't forgive her so easily." She is not a competitive person, if people don't offend me, I won't offend others. In this world, one thing more is worse than one thing less, and she doesn't want to waste time for an insignificant woman !

"Tomorrow, I will find someone to protect you." After hesitating for a while, Zong Zhengyi said.

The next day.

"No, no, no!" Ning Xiang stood in front of the room door with her waist in her hands, yelling at a piece of ice wood, her cheeks flushed.

Lan Feng watched from the side, not saying a word, and couldn't get in the way.

"This subordinate is ordered by the prime minister to protect his wife." Bing Mumu had a cold face, his skin was slightly dark, but he was a man with handsome features.

"When did the Prime Minister say that someone should protect my young lady? You are a big man, why did the Prime Minister let you come?" Ning Xiang blushed and had a thick neck, and she got into a fight with this iceberg early in the morning.

Hearing this, Bing Mumu's eyes flashed with coldness and killing intent, and he took a step in front of Ningxiang.

Stared at by those cold eyes like March, Ningxiang's arrogance was quickly suppressed, and she retreated behind Lan Feng in two steps, grabbed Lan Feng's clothes and said: "Lan Feng, you drive him away!" Let's go, he must have no good intentions!"

"I..." Before Lan Feng could speak, the door opened with a "squeak", and the yawning woman walked out. "lady!"

Qiao Ling'er squinted her eyes slightly, her hair was a little messy, and she asked in an unfriendly manner, "What's the noise so early in the morning?"

"Little... Ma'am, this big ice cube said that the prime minister asked him to protect you, and he refused to leave here." Ning Xiang jumped to Qiao Ling'er's side and stared at the iceberg.

Qiao Ling'er's eyes also fell on the handsome man, and he said respectfully, "Your subordinate Qingye, I have seen Madam."

Qingye is good at judging people, and he can see at a glance that Qiao Linger's eyes are not cowardice as rumored, but shrewd and intelligent. Regarding the mistakes Yuemei made, he finally knows why Yueying said that she should grow up. Big words.

Although the women standing in front of me are a little lazy, they are definitely not waiting for nothing!
"Are you the one Zong Zhengyi told me about yesterday?!" Qiao Linger said doubtfully but with certainty.

"It's my subordinate." Aoba said loudly.

"Your name is Qingye?" Qiao Linger continued to ask.

"Yes!"

"Well, you can stay with me from now on. It's just that there are not so many rules here. Basically, you can help Zong Zhengyi when I have nothing to do here." Qiao Ling'er simply ordered.Yesterday Zong Zhengyi told her that he wanted to find someone to protect her, maybe it had something to do with being kidnapped when they got married, but he didn't specify, but she believed that Zong Zhengyi would not do something without reason.

It's just that he didn't expect that Zong Zhengyi only asked for someone to come yesterday, but he had already come this morning.

"What? Madam, you said he wants to follow us?" Ning Xiang's eyes widened suddenly, looking at it like that, she wished she could eat the green leaves.

Qiao Ling'er couldn't help but chuckled when she saw Ningxiang's sword-stretching appearance, "Ningxiang, you have to be obedient and don't bully others, you understand?"

"What? I bullied him???" A high-scoring voice screamed out from Ningxiang's mouth, making Qiao Ling'er's eardrums buzz.

"Okay, okay, don't bully him, come in and help me comb my hair!" Qiao Ling'er glanced over Lan Feng, saw the hesitation in her eyes, and naturally knew that she must be full of doubts now.

Ning Xiang glared at Qing Ye resentfully, but she didn't even look at her at all, so she stomped her feet and followed Qiao Ling'er in.Lan Feng followed behind without saying a word.

After washing her face and putting on clean clothes, Qiao Ling'er sat in front of the bronze mirror and Ning Xiang combed her hair.

Seeing Lan Feng standing behind holding a sword from the bronze mirror, Qiao Linger smiled lightly and said, "Lan Feng, if you have any questions, just ask!"

The movements of Ning Xiang's hands were also slightly stagnant, and her expression became tense, and she exchanged a glance with Lan Feng, expressing her surprise.

Lan Feng didn't beat around the bush, and asked indifferently, "Why is madam good at kung fu?"

"Is it strange that I know kung fu?" Qiao Linger asked with a smile.

"Is it strange that I know kung fu?" Qiao Linger asked with a smile.

Ning Xiang frowned and said: "But Miss, Ning Xiang has been by your side since childhood, how could you learn Kung Fu?" Twelve hours a day, except for eating and sleeping, she is almost always with Miss, how could Miss Kung fu and she doesn't know it?

"Ningxiang, you called me Miss again?" Qiao Linger reminded her of her title.

"Miss, I'm used to it. It's really hard to change it all at once!" Ning Xiang pouted angrily. She has been barking for more than ten years. How could she change it just as she said?
"Forget it, it's up to you!" Qiao Ling'er didn't bother to worry about it, and smiled when she saw Lan Feng still meticulous: "Lan Feng, sometimes the less you expose yourself, the less you expose yourself. To protect yourself and the people around you instead of making it public, you understand?"

Lan Feng frowned when he heard the words, and said: "Miss has been hiding herself all this time, just to prevent people from seeing the real lady?"

"You can say that." Qiao Linger smiled brilliantly. She couldn't say that she was not the original Qiao Linger, and putting on a mask for her original self was the best way to explain it.

"The young lady... is pretending to Mr. Feng?" Ning Xiang asked stupidly.

Qiao Ling'er couldn't help but black line, she almost forgot that Qiao Ling'er who was so devoted to Feng Qing back then!
Standing up and turning around, looking at Ningxiang and Lanfeng, she said calmly: "Ningxiang, Lanfeng, I want to tell you that nothing can be blinded by the outside. You can't look at things and people. You have to look at it from the essence and heart, often what you see with the naked eye is not the most real, so you must remember not to look at people or things from just one angle.”

Qiao Linger's words successfully diverted the attention of Lanfeng and Ningxiang, just like Qiao Linger before and Qiao Linger at this time, they need to look at it with new eyes.

"Yes, Miss, Lan Feng understands." Lan Feng clasped his fists like a chivalrous woman.

From the emotions shown by the young lady yesterday when she saw that Ningxiang would be hurt by Yuemei, she can be sure that the young lady cares about the people around her.

How about having kung fu?Only when you have kung fu can you not be bullied. Although she behaves very differently from the previous ladies, she is still a lady.

"Miss, Ning Xiang admires you so much." Ning Xiang hugged Qiao Ling'er's arm with stars in her eyes. She was pure-minded, and although she couldn't fully understand Qiao Ling'er's words, the feeling of being protected made her very happy. warmth.

Qiao Linger smiled happily, this stupid girl!
Lan Feng also showed a barely noticeable smile, and now this young lady caught her eyes even more than the young lady she had met several times in Qiao's mansion.At that time, the Fourth Miss was like an ethereal doll, every frown and smile was carefully decorated, because of her beauty and moving; but now the Fourth Miss, no, the Prime Minister's wife, is truly heartfelt. like.

"Miss, let me say that Mr. Feng abandoning you will definitely be the thing he regrets most in his life!" Ning Xiang said without thinking about it.

Lan Feng immediately gave Ning Xiang a wink, and Ning Xiang regretted it immediately, and couldn't help sticking out her tongue, what a rotten tongue, she actually said the wrong thing again.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Ling'er didn't care at all and said, "It has nothing to do with me whether he regrets later."

Feng Qing's proud man, as early as the first day she came here, she didn't have any affection for him. His life and death have nothing to do with her, let alone regret it or not?

Qiankun Palace.

Emperor Wu sat on the dragon chair and looked down at the courtiers. The eunuch shouted from the side, "If there is something to report, if there is nothing to do, we will retreat to the court—"

Your Highness, two lines of officials stand in awe. One is headed by Prime Minister Zong Zhengyi, and the other is headed by Crown Prince Helian Feiyan, who is regarded as the head of the group of officials.
