blue bird song

Chapter 34
Concubine Chen was so happy that she withdrew and went back to the room, laughing silently.Xinci was a little better than her, but she was also trembling with laughter.

Concubine Chen pushed Xinci, "Hey, let me be your little apprentice as my daughter-in-law." Xinci pursed her lips and smiled, "It's the first time we meet, so you miss my sweetheart?"

The two quietly looked outside again, the Fourth Prince and Qing Que were sitting face to face eating snacks, you pass me one, I'll pass you one, it's delicious and sweet.

"Give it to me." Concubine Chen chuckled, "My son has never had such a good relationship with any little girl since he was a child."

Sister, you haven't married yet, and you don't know when your little girl will be born, so I can't count on it.So, just your little apprentice.

"Succeed, here you are." With a kind heart, "Her, you have to coax her with nice words, and you have to hug her to sleep at night. When she is happy, she will stick to your arms obediently, like The kitten is still obedient. If you are upset, it will turn over and give you a little ass."

Concubine Chen's smiling eyebrows were crooked, sister Ganqing treated this little apprentice really differently, she even hugged her to sleep at night!So close, very good, very good.

After finishing their makeup, the two went out of the room.Seeing the two of them coming out, the Fourth Prince and Qing Que took a closer look, and said in unison, "Very good, I can't see that you have cried just now."

Two ghosts!Concubine Chen and Xinci looked at the golden boy and jade girl in front of them, with smiles overflowing from their eyes to their brows.

The female official of Weiyang Palace hurried in, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is coming to Weiyang Palace, and it will be here soon. Madams have already invited you to the side hall to take refuge, please go back and preside over the overall situation."

Concubine Chen's complexion changed, and she called Xinci and whispered, "Stay here, don't be seen by Your Majesty!" Busy to go out.

At the gate of Weiyang Palace, Concubine Chen greeted the emperor who came in casual clothes and light clothes. She greeted the ceremony with a smile, and teased, "Your Majesty came to see your daughter-in-law? You really care."

The emperor smiled softly, "How about these little girls, has anyone ever seen them? Nothing else matters, as long as we have a good temper with our A Yuan."

Concubine Chen smiled, "You'll know it when you look at it." As she spoke, she walked inside with the emperor.

Above a pool of clear water, there is an arched stone bridge with white marble railings, which is crystal clear and spotless.This arched bridge is beautifully built, looking from a distance, it looks like the first moon rising from the clouds, like a rainbow drinking from the stream.

A boy and a girl came gradually on the stone bridge, getting higher and closer.The boy is wearing the prince's costume, exquisite and beautiful, it is the emperor's favorite fourth prince, A Yuan.The girl was about the same age as him, wearing a light autumn-colored shirt and skirt, her skin was whiter than snow, her eyebrows were similar, and she was like a painting.

The two children had pleasant smiles on their faces, and they walked side by side, looking intimate.

"How?" Concubine Chen looked at the emperor with a smile.

"Very good." The emperor nodded movedly, "Very good."

A Yuan obviously liked this girl, very much.

When the two children approached, the fourth prince met the emperor and concubine Chen with a dignified expression, stretched out his hand to hold the blue sparrow, and told her comfortingly, "My father is very kind, you don't have to be afraid of him."

The emperor looked at the girl in front of him with a smile, and saw her nodding obediently, "Well, I'm not afraid, your father is a very good person at first glance!"

The emperor smiled, and Concubine Chen burst out laughing.

"Do you like it here?" The emperor called Qingque to him and asked her gently, "You can live here until you grow up."

Whether it is the crown princess or the prince concubine, there are precedents for them to be raised in the inner palace.

Qing Que shook her head seriously, "That's impossible! I'm a person who wants to do great things, and I want to lead troops to fight to protect the country and defend the people. How can I be confined to the deep palace."

Lead the army to fight and defend the country and the people?Here's where to start.The emperor looked at Concubine Chen in a daze, and Concubine Chen praised Qingque tenderly, "What a good boy with ambition! Heroines don't give way to men! Good boy, let's go out and play." Without any explanation, he sent the fourth prince and Qingque away gone.

The fourth prince took dignified steps, complaining to Qing Que in a low voice, "Why don't you listen to my father?" Qing Que retorted, "I don't necessarily listen to my father's words, why should I listen to your father's words?" ?”

"But, my father is the emperor!" The fourth prince stopped and reasoned with Qing Que solemnly.

"But, you told me not to be afraid of him!" Qing Que also stopped, blinking her big eyes innocently.

The fourth prince opened his mouth and had nothing to say.

"You really don't want to stay?" After a while, the fourth prince asked unwillingly.

"No!" Qing Que refused flatly, "I'm a little blue bird, I can't be kept in a cage, I want to spread my wings and fly high!"

Her eyebrows are proud, and the originally unparalleled beauty is even more heart-wrenching because of the addition of a touch of touching expression.

The fourth prince's star-like eyes were shining brightly, and he impulsively grabbed Qing Que's little hand, "Little Qing Bird, wait for me to grow up, I will take you with me when I grow up, we can fly high!"

Qing Que looked at the beautiful and delicate boy in front of him, and thought of his appearance with a pair of wings, and smiled briskly and joyfully.

The news of the emperor's arrival soon became known to everyone in Weiyang Palace.The wives present carefully examined their daughters, some were full of ambition, some were anxious.

Of course the emperor would not meet the wives of each family, but he did not meet the little girls of each family either.However, there were a few mature female officials coming and going, and the expressions and behaviors of the young girls fell into the eyes.

After the emperor arrived, the British princesses who were sitting in the main hall naturally avoided and came to the side hall.Shen Mo greeted the British lady courteously, and said hello with a happy face, looked behind the British lady, and asked with a smile: "Dare to ask Madam, where is my sister Yuan?"

The smile of the British Duchess was polite and distant, "Your Majesty is very happy, let her play in the palace."

Both Deng Zhiping and Deng Ziying's eyes showed disappointment, and Shen Mo gritted her teeth secretly.She didn't even have a surname, yet she actually entered the palace and got into the eyes of the nobleman.

Their conversation fell into the ears of everyone, and it was inevitable that they all fell in love with the girl who was favored by Concubine Chen.But it's a pity that the girl didn't enter the hall until the banquet was given and ended, so she couldn't see her.

At the end of the banquet, when they bid farewell and left the palace, many people looked at Qing Que.There was a picky look in his eyes, and even more shocking, "Hey, that's the one who follows the British lady, holding hands with Miss Zhang."

There was a wife whose husband's family name was Wang, who also joined in the fun and looked over, and secretly commented, "A beauty, indeed a beauty! This is as good-looking as my cousin Qi's."

"Which family's little girl is this?" she asked casually.

"It is rumored that she is a maid from Ningguo's mansion. She hasn't recognized her yet, so she doesn't have a surname, only a first name. Didn't you hear just now that Mrs. Shen from Ningguo's mansion said 'my sister Yuan'."

It's a pity, it's a pity that she looks like an outsider who can't be on the stage.

The banquet in Weiyang Palace was grand because of the emperor's personal presence.The wives who had the banquet lingered until Shenshi, when the feast was over, they left the palace one by one.

Mrs. Ying brought Zhang You, Qing Que and other talents back home, and Deng Qi was already restless waiting. "Niu Niu, is it going well in the palace? Did something happen to you?" Deng Qi asked worriedly when he saw Qing Que.

"It's nothing serious." Qing Que told Deng Qi one by one, "Madame took me to meet the concubine Chen and the fourth prince, and then the concubine Chen brought me to meet the emperor, and the emperor wanted to keep me in the palace, but I didn't agree. .”

As for the fact that Concubine Chen and Sister Xinci met each other, Qing Que kept it a secret.The Fairy Master has explained it, and the Fairy Aunt has also explained it. It is not allowed to tell others.

Deng Qi was stunned for a while, and when he slowly figured out what Qingque said, he felt proud.Who is Qingque?Yu'er's and I's pro-daughter, even in the palace, she stands out from the crowd and is different from others!No, after only entering the palace once, His Majesty the Emperor and Concubine Chen fell in love with each other.

"My daughter is right!" Deng Qi praised Qing Que affectionately, "My daughter will not live in the palace, my daughter will live in..."

The words "my own home" came to my lips, but I swallowed them sadly.Ever since Qingque was born, she either lived in the Mo family, or the Yang family, or the Zhang family, but never lived in the Deng family.

Deng Qi became depressed, reluctantly played with Qing Que for a while, then left and returned to Ningguo Mansion.He was so depressed that he went to Duke Ningguo's room, and asked, regardless of Duke Ningguo's face, "You don't think of a way, could it be that Niuniu can't go home for years and months?"

Ning Guogong was furious, took down the whip hanging on the wall, and whipped it over his face, "You still have the face to ask! If you weren't for your willful nonsense, would such an embarrassing thing happen? Niu Niu could be homeless at a young age ?”

As before, Deng Qi would run away in fright when his grandfather whipped the whip.Now, I have been beaten more times, and I have learned a lot of wisdom. I straightened my neck and confronted Ning Guogong, "I am worthless. If I go astray, you will not be much better! If you have the right idea and don't regret the marriage, I will He and Yu'er have been married in an open and honest way! The little days are sweet! I haven't complained about you yet, how dare you hit me?!"

As a grandfather, if he felt that his children and grandchildren had made a big mistake, he would definitely beat him to death with all his strength.However, if his old man is also at fault, he would have no face to do it.

Ning Guogong threw down his whip angrily, and sat on the grand master's chair panting for breath.

Deng Qi got even more excited, ran up to Ning Guogong and shouted, "Grandfather, you want my daughter back! My child is living in the British government with no one to rely on, and I feel uncomfortable!"

Ning Guogong raised his left leg and kicked him fiercely, "Why? What did you ask your grandfather to want? Without Wang Taishou, without Qingqueniang, do you think the British government can easily release him?"

Deng Qi was kicked down by him, and sat on the ground wiping tears.Ning Guogong had a splitting headache, "I...how can I have the face to see Wang Taishou?"

While wiping his tears, Deng Qi shabby Ning Guogong, "You don't have the face to see the prefect Wang, so you have the face of the British government? If you want to see your great-granddaughter, you have to go to the Zhang family. Does it sound nice?"

Ning Guogong was really embarrassed to go to the British government. Huihui pretended to meet him halfway while Qingque was out of the city to hunt, and met him in a hurry by the roadside, but he couldn't say a few words in total.

"Stop making trouble, let grandfather think about it, think about it carefully." Ning Guogong said weakly.

The next day Deng Qi went to the British government to see his daughter.At the gate of the mansion, Qing Que was following Zhang Hu back from hunting in the wild, her little face was flushed, and her forehead was covered with sweat.With a treasured sword across his waist and a treasured bow on his back, he is very proud.

"Girl, are you tired?" When Qing Que got off the horse, Deng Qi squatted in front of her distressedly, wiping her sweat.Girls should sit at home, reciting poems and painting, what is it to dance with knives and guns.

"I'm not tired." Qing Que didn't care, "I'm someone who wants to win battles and become a general. This idea is hard and tiring, and I can afford it."

Deng Qi was so distressed, he coaxed her softly, "Hey, we don't fight wars, wars are a man's business."

Qingque looked at him strangely, "But, there are no men in my grandfather's house, I'm the only one! When there are men, men fight the war; but all the men are gone, what should I do? Girls can't defend the country .”

At some point in front of the gate, there was an old man over [-] years old.He was wearing a green cloth Taoist robe, with a handsome appearance, elegant and elegant, and he was looking at the little blue bird.

He heard the bold words of Little Qingque, and his heart was agitated.

Zhang Hu had the most keen sense, and greeted him politely, saying hello politely, "What's your name, sir? If you don't mind, please come to the humble house for tea."

The old man smiled slightly, and arched his hands free and easy, "Jingxi Wang Tang respects you."

Deng Qi looked up in surprise and inexplicably, and was stunned.Yu'er's grandfather!Why is his old man here?

Deng Qi showed Mr. Wang a smile that could be seen better than crying, and hugged Qingque tightly in his arms.Is the old man here to snatch the child?No, I won't allow it.

Qingque nestled in Deng Qi's arms, looking curiously at Mr. Wang with big black and white eyes.Hey, this old grandpa looks very amiable and loving.

Wang Tangjing walked over slowly step by step, suppressed the excitement in his heart, bent down to look at Qingque, and said in a very gentle tone, "Little girl, who is your grandfather?"

"Qi Baoshan!" Qing Que raised her head high, her face full of pride.

Wang Tangjing's elegant and handsome face showed a look of relief and surprise, he reached out and snatched the bird from Deng Qi's arms, and looked at it carefully, "Like, really like!" Wang Tangjing muttered to himself.

Although Qing Que and him met for the first time, they felt very close and intimate, and smiled at the old man obediently, showing a mouthful of small white teeth like plaited shells.

Deng Qi saw that the situation was not going well, and shouted: "Old man, all the mistakes are my fault, I accept the punishment and accept the punishment, I just ask you not to separate our father and daughter!"

Wang Tangjing ignored him at all, looked down at Qingque, and looked at it again and again.Qingque didn't recognize him, and looked at him with wide eyes.The father and son looked at me and I looked at you, with novelty and joy in their eyes.

"Niuniu, I am your great-grandfather." Wang Tangjing smiled, "I just knew that there is another you in this world, so I came looking for you."

"Great-grandfather, what a mouthful." Qing Que giggled, "I'll call you Great-Grandpa, okay? Or it's Great-Grandpa."

"Up to you." Wang Tangjing pinched her little face and smiled dotingly.

Deng Qi stared closely at Wang Tangjing from the side, fearing that he might miss him, the old man took his daughter away directly - Wang Tangjing did such a thing, he has always been a maverick and contemptuous of the world.

Qing Que happily pulled Zhang Hu over, "Grandpa, this is my brother Hu, brother Hu and I are on good terms!" Zhang Hu thoughtfully greeted the old man Wang and invited him to sit down at the mansion.

Wang Tangjing was straightforward, and led Qingque's little hand into the British government.

Zhang Hu accompanied him, while Deng Qi still stared at Wang Tangjing closely.

When an elder like Mr. Wang came to the door, the British Duke and his wife received him attentively.When Mr. Wang proposed to take Xiao Qingque away, the British father-in-law and his wife hesitated for a moment and agreed.

Deng Qi was anxious, "Master, Qing Que is my daughter!"

Wang Tangjing glanced at him indifferently, and said slowly: "Niu Niu is my biological child, there is no doubt about it. You say that Niu Niu is your daughter, but what proof do you have?"

Deng Qi stared at Wang Tangjing dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.My daughter is my daughter, and if I become a father, I still need to show proof?

Wang Tangjing ignored him, took the little green sparrow, bid farewell to the British couple and Zhang Hu, and wanted to leave.

Deng Qi chased after anxiously, Wang Tangjing looked at him coolly, "If you want Niuniu, let your grandfather come to me!"

He took the little green sparrow and walked away.

How could Deng Qi watch his daughter being taken away by Mr. Wang, and he followed him to reason and beg for mercy, "Mr., Niuniu is still young, so it is very inconvenient to follow you suddenly."

Wang Tangjing ignored him at all, Qing Que walked forward in Grandpa Zeng's hand, and smiled at him, which made his heart feel sore and soft.This is clearly my daughter, why can't I keep her.

Zhang Hu stopped him and asked for advice modestly, "Qing Que is staying at Taishou Wang's house for a short stay. Do you have to bring all the daily necessities? Please help see what Qing Que should bring, and I will send it to Wang's house later."

stay?Qing Que came to Wang Taishou's house, just for a short stay?Deng Qi was a little anxious at first, but after hearing Zhang Hu's words, he felt relieved. Niuniu just stayed at Wang's house for a few days, and Mr. Wang couldn't take her away.

"Niu Niu is used to it all day, send it all over." Deng Qi settled down, and discussed with Zhang Hu what Qing Que should bring to Wang's house, "Besides clothes and utensils, she also brought her pony, bow, knives and swords. "

The two discussed together and walked back slowly.

Qing Que held Grandpa Zeng's hand, and asked him with a smile, "How do you know me?" Wang Tangjing looked down at her smooth and shiny face, with eyes full of expectation, and said with a smile: "Didn't you come in yesterday?" Are you in the palace, someone saw it."

Ning Guogong's maid, seven or eight years old, is temporarily fostered in the British government. "Beautiful and delicate, she looks a bit like Yu'er..." Wang Tangjing heard this, thinking about Yu'er's never mentioning her ex-husband, and also Deng Qi who had a marriage contract with her, he became suspicious.
