blue bird song

Chapter 40
There was brilliance in Old Master Yun's eyes, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Really?"

The heavenly direction pays attention to "regarding death as life", and after death, it is the same as alive, to enjoy the offerings of children and grandchildren.If you can't be buried in the ancestral grave and become a lonely ghost, it will be starving and freezing for thousands of years, and you will never be reborn.

The patriarch gritted his teeth and said, "For the children's sake, let her be buried in the ancestral grave!"

The dust settled.

When Uncle Jingcheng ordered someone to bring the white silk and the poisoned wine to Xiaoyun, she looked at Uncle Jingcheng sadly, struggling to survive, "You know, I didn't do anything to him. He is my sister's son, How could I be with him...?"

"What did you ask Xiaoping to do?" Jing Chengbo raised her chin and asked her slowly, "Yes, I know you were wronged, and nothing happened between you and my son, of course I know .However, what happened back then, how my son ran away from home, and what are you going to do after he finally comes back. "

Xiao Yun's face was ashen.He knew that such a careless man like him actually knew how to interrogate Xiaoping.

However, even if I wanted to frame Juechi, I would not be guilty of death!Xiaoyun looked at Bai Ling and poisoned wine reluctantly, and didn't want to choose either.I don't want to die, I'm living a good life, I really don't want to die.The desire to survive grew wildly in Xiao Yun's heart, and she caught Uncle Jing Cheng frantically in her eyes, "I don't want to die, let's be a husband and wife, please save me, please save me!"

Uncle Jingcheng smiled sadly, "I'll save you, who will save my son?" He closed his eyes tiredly, "Do it!"

In the end, Xiaoyun did not escape the fate of death, and was held down by two strong women, who forcibly drank the poisoned wine.

Black blood slowly flowed from the corner of Xiaoyun's mouth, and he fell down powerlessly.Before dying, she cursed that her father didn't come to save her, her children didn't come to save her, her husband refused to forgive her, she cursed that Jue Chi hadn't died silently in the past ten years, and she even cursed that little girl who fainted her, that The little girl who caused her death, "Little girl, you are so cruel and merciless, you will die!"

The cursed little girl is currently discussing her major issues with Zhang Hu with great interest, "My mother is protected by Grandpa Zeng, she is safe. Then I should go back to Yangji to accompany Grandpa, and go to war with you in two years ,OK?"

"Not good." Zhang Hu smiled, "You're just getting started in kung fu, how can you succeed without master's guidance? Internal kung fu has its own dangers, and Lishan school's kung fu naturally has its own dangers. Little Qingque, you still live at your brother's house , brother can practice with you, or you can invite a master of the Lishan school to come and give you advice."

"Success." Qing Que agrees heartlessly, "You might as well ask a Lishan School master for me to accompany me back to Yangji. Grandpa is getting old, I miss him, and I want to go back and see. "

Zhang Hu didn't object, "Okay, I'll give it a try. Little Qingque, before leaving, your master and mother left the residences of two fellow disciples in Beijing. In the past few days, I will visit them one by one and invite you to master."

Qing Que's eyes lit up, and she got excited, "Brother Hu, I'll go together!" Zhang Hu agreed with a smile, and sure enough, he took her to visit Master Li who lived in Huqiao Hutong.Master Li is alone and works as an instructor in a martial arts gym. If he is willing to come and teach Qing Que, it can be in the capital or in Yangji.However, Master Li still has housework to deal with in the capital. If he wants to go to Yangji, he will have to wait until March next year.Zhang Hu made the decision for Qingque, "So, how about you live in the humble house for now, and then go to Yangji after March next year?" Master Li readily agreed.

Master Li is about 30 years old, with a medium build, good facial features, and a simple and honest face.He is not considered a talented person, but he can endure hardships by virtue of his diligence and inquiring, and he has also practiced martial arts well.

"This, it can only be Master." Qing Que looked at Master Li's face that he couldn't find when he threw it into the crowd, with a simple and honest expression, and shook his head regretfully.

Master, Fairy, I miss you so much.

Grandpa Zeng often came to visit Xiaoqingque.From basic necessities of life, to what books he has read, what kung fu he has practiced, who he has met, and what he has encountered, he will ask in detail.Qing Que always frowned when she saw him, "You are just like my great-grandfather." He chatted with him in childish language, very at ease.

Great-grandfather was embarrassed to come to the British government, but Deng Qi often came.In fact, he also felt awkward and boring, but he really wanted to see his daughter and couldn't care less.Deng Qi is very indulgent towards Qing Que, and when we meet again, he always plays wildly with her, doesn't restrain her at all, and doesn't mention people and things that make her unhappy.

Every time I see Deng Qi, Qingque is very happy and wants to fly happily.

"It's good that Niu Niu has a father who loves you so much." The British princess saw it, and was very happy for Qing Que, since her father loved her so much, Xiao Qing Que could be counted on.

"It's nothing good." Qingque giggled nonchalantly, "My father is a man who treats you well and treats you well. When it comes to a critical moment, he is unreliable. Auntie, my father just plays with me. not on."

The British Duchess looked at this flower-like little girl, feeling pity and weirdness at the same time.This kid looks innocent, but he is actually quite scheming.It is obvious that she is so close to her father, but she also said that her father is unreliable and does not count on her.

Girls, it shouldn't be like this.The British Duchess sighed and shook her head.

"If there is no father's protection, Niu Niu will be wronged." The British princess told Qing Que gently.

Qing Que shook her head proudly, "No! My mother said that if a person is self-improvement and self-love, no one can make you wronged!"

The British Duchess frowned slightly.

It's the end of the year, and it's almost New Year's Eve.The British princess is a bit embarrassed, let Qingque accompany her to worship the ancestors and keep the year old?She is not the Zhang family, nor is she a relative of the Zhang family, and her name is not right.

The Duke of Ningguo sent someone to pick it up, but Qing Que refused to go, "My great-grandfather told me that the Deng family cannot go back." The British Duke personally came forward and sent the visitor away.

Grandpa Zeng also came to pick it up, and the British lord said euphemistically, "Look, Duke Ningguo came to pick it up, but I rejected it. If I let you pick it up..." Grandpa Zeng was speechless.

Grandpa Zeng sent Qing Que's new clothes for the Chinese New Year. They were all carefully made by Wang's sewing room, and they were very beautiful.Among them was a brocade-faced black fox cloak sprinkled with black magnolia flowers in full bloom on a red background, which was particularly gorgeous and pleasing to the eye. Grandpa Zeng put it on Qing Que specially, "Niuniu, your mother ordered someone to make this for you."

Qingque was too excited to speak.

After Grandpa Zeng left, Qing Que wore this cloak, her head held high, and she proudly showed off, "Uncle, Aunt, Brother Hu, Sister Ayou, does this dress look good? Is it unique?"

Zhang Hu walked over with a smile, Qing Que stretched out her hand to cover her little head with great foresight, and glared at Zhang Hu, "Brother Hu, I don't have braids! No!"

The British father-in-law and his wife laughed, Zhang You ran over to help Qingque, "Brother, don't bully Niuniu!" After finishing speaking, he hugged Qingque and laughed together.

At this moment, the Duke and Duchess of England are very fond of the little blue sparrow.This child is so cute, lively and smart, and everyone wants to see him!

Years ago, Qing Que was taken into the palace by concubine Chen.

"Auntie is so kind, do you want me to celebrate the New Year in Weiyang Palace?" Qing Que smiled happily.

Qing Que was not taken to Weiyang Palace, but to Cishou Palace where Empress Dowager Zhou lived.The Cishou Palace was full of flowers, the emperor, empress, imperial concubine, concubine Chen, concubine De, princes and princesses were all there, it was very lively.

The Empress Dowager Zhou was very satisfied with Qing Que's appearance, "This child was born well, flirtatious but not voluptuous. She is beautiful and upright. It is not the kind of voluptuous and enchanting. It is pleasing to the eye and comfortable to look at."

Qingque smiled sweetly, looking even more cute.

The emperor repeated the old saying, "Do you want to stay in the palace? You can live in Weiyang Palace."

The empress dowager and concubines looked at Qingque with great interest, wanting to see how she would reply to the emperor.What's the matter?Do you want more beauties in the palace, fourth prince, how beautiful you are.

Qing Que's voice was clear and crisp, her eyes were pure, and she was full of innocence, "If I live in Weiyang Palace, Concubine Chen will hug me to sleep, and everyone else will be driven away!"

The emperor was startled and laughed out loud.The rest of the people also wanted to be happy. Seeing the emperor like this, they laughed along with confidence, and the atmosphere in the hall was very cheerful.Concubine Chen bent down and scratched her little nose, "Naughty girl!" The fourth prince complained quietly, "You are more domineering than Xiao Ba!"

"Then, how about following her?" The emperor smiled and pointed at a resplendent and well-dressed imperial concubine, "Look at her, how is she?"

This concubine looks quite old, she must be... 50 years old?The skin is fair, but the figure is fat, and the facial features are not beautiful.Among the many young and beautiful concubines, she is very conspicuous.

Qing Que tilted her head and thought for a while, "She... is very real, look at An Xin!"

You should praise her for being beautiful, but I really can't say it out of my will.You can praise her for being smart, but she's not written on her forehead, so she can't see it.Alas, the only way to praise her is to be honest, she looks really weighty and down-to-earth.

The emperor was overwhelmed with emotion, "This child has excellent eyesight!"

My Zhen'er, the Queen Mother doesn't like her, the courtiers oppose her, and the concubines in the harem don't understand her. These people don't understand Zhen'er's goodness.Zhen'er is a real warmth and a real support. When I was the most lonely and helpless, she was the one who accompanied me day by day, never leaving.

Zhen'er, I feel at ease when I see her.

"Are you following her?" The emperor bent down and asked Qing Que gently.

Qingque rolled her eyes, stood on tiptoe, covered her mouth with her hand, and tried hard to reach the emperor's ear.Seeing her urchin-like appearance, the emperor smiled slightly and lowered his head so that she could sleep.

"I look at her with peace of mind, but I don't want to sleep with her!" Qing Que whispered in his ear.

The emperor was shocked.What happened to this child, she knows everything in my heart!
After Qingque finished speaking, she stood up steadily, and smiled at him sweetly and flatteringly, showing a mouthful of cute little white teeth.

The fourth prince walked over worriedly, and stood beside Qing Que with a solemn expression.This is a pair of golden boy and jade girl, the two small faces are beautiful, exquisite and impeccable, the ordinary skin is more radiant than the snow, and the ordinary style is beautiful.

The difference is that girls look at the emperor with flattering eyes, while boys look at the emperor with condemning eyes.

A Yuan, you... the emperor is helpless.Father wants to keep her for you, so you don't have to look at him like that.

If you fancy something, do it quickly, don't wait for nothing to break the branches.A Yuan, father will teach you this truth in the future.

Concubine Chen praised Empress Dowager Zhou's clothes, and the rest of the concubines didn't wink, they all gathered in front of Empress Dowager Zhou and scrambled to say compliments, and the flattering Empress Dowager Zhou was very happy.Seeing this, Concubine Chen slipped out quietly and walked to the emperor's side.

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking?" Chen Fei asked with a smile.

The emperor rubbed his nose, "Whose girl is this child? Go to Minger and call her father into the palace, and give her a good lesson."

"It should be!" Concubine Chen trembled with a smile, "Shouldn't you be reprimanded for teaching such a naughty little girl?"

Qingque smiled even sweeter.

The fourth prince couldn't bear it anymore, stood up in front of Qingque, and looked at the emperor and concubine Chen with reproachful eyes.His eyes were very clear and pure, the emperor felt guilty when he looked at him, and the concubine Chen felt soft-hearted when he looked at her.

"A Yuan, go out and play, go out and play." The emperor waved his hand and sent A Yuan and Qing Que away.Don't stand in front of your father. If you do this again, your father will think that you have become a foolish king.

The fourth prince walked out with Qingque, and the two discussed how to play while walking, "For Chinese New Year, let's set off firecrackers, let's blow up firecrackers." "Success, let's set off firecrackers, and fireworks. , the variety is complete, very beautiful.”

This naughty and active little girl made the gentle and quiet A Yuan playful.The emperor and concubine Chen heard it in their ears, so how could they rest assured that they hurriedly ordered the old palace officials to follow them so that they could serve them well.

Qingque wants to set off the firecrackers with her own hands, but no one stops her, so she is allowed to play.The fourth prince wanted to set off the firecracker himself, but he couldn't do it. The court ladies and eunuchs knelt down on the ground, and no one dared to give him the firecracker.

"Hey, you are so pitiful." Qing Que looked at him sympathetically, "In my own home, even a firecracker is not allowed."

"My family has always been like this." The fourth prince was a little embarrassed, "the rules are relatively strict, there are many taboos, and there is no freedom in eating and drinking."

Qing Que sympathized with him even more, she was very loyal and stopped setting off firecrackers, and sat in the warm pavilion with the fourth prince, drinking tea and eating snacks.The dim sum tastes very good, it is crispy and soft, and it is small and beautiful in appearance. The Qingque is very satisfying to eat.

"It's nothing else in your family, you really pay attention to food." Qing Que patted her belly and spoke highly of the food in the palace.

The fourth prince asked with concern: "How is your family's food? Qingque, you are still so young, you can't eat well, you can't do it."

Qing Que's clear Xingzi's eyes dimmed, and she said dejectedly, "Where do I have a home? When I was a child, I was fostered in my adoptive parents' house, then my great-grandfather's house, and now I am fostered in the British government."

The fourth prince panicked, "Well, my mother and your fairy master are sisters, and we are very close. Little Qingque, my home is your home."

Qingque laughed happily, "No! Your house is big and beautiful, but there are too many rules!" The fourth prince smiled embarrassedly when he heard her say that.

After the sky darkened, the two went out to watch the fireworks.These fireworks are new tributes from the south of the Yangtze River. They are various in color and delicately made. The vast night sky hall is full of beautiful pictures, "It's so beautiful." Qing Que and the fourth prince looked up at the fireworks and cheered happily.

Keep the New Year's Eve, the next day is New Year's Day.New Year's Day is a big day, and everyone in the palace is busy. On the first day of the new year, not only the officials have to congratulate the emperor, but also married women and wives also pay homage to the empress dowager and empress. The etiquette is complicated and grand.

For the wives, entering the palace to congratulate them is both a responsibility and an honor.Having the qualifications to enter the palace to congratulate them means that their husband or son is promising, and brings them a dignified status and favorable treatment.

On this day, all the foreign-born women wear heavy make-up according to their tastes, and they must dress carefully and in line with their own identities.The wearing of jewelry should also be well-regulated, neither too simple nor too extravagant.

On such an occasion, what they care about is etiquette and rules, and what they compare is reputation and status. Usually, no one pays attention to the appearance of foreign wives.What difference does it make if you are born beautiful or born ordinary?

This year, there was an exception.Because, this year's New Year's Day, it was the first time that Yangwuhou's wife, Mrs. Qi, entered the palace, and appeared in the eyes of the queen mother, empress and noble ladies for the first time.

When the Qi family was named Mrs. Yang Wuhou, according to the etiquette, she should enter the palace to pay her respects.At that time, she was pregnant with Liujia and had difficulty moving. Concubine Chen personally asked Queen Mother Zhou and Queen Wang to ask for leave for her.Both Queen Mother Zhou and Queen Wang knew that Xue Hu had saved the fourth prince, so they agreed with a smile.It was just a routine matter for foreign wives to enter the palace to pay their respects after receiving the imperial seal, and they never took it to heart.

This New Year's Day celebration, the Empress Dowager Zhou, Queen Wang, and many other noble ladies were stunned by the beauty of Mrs. Yang Wuhou.She was obviously wearing the clothes of Mrs. Yipin Hou, and her clothes and jewelry were all quite standard, but she had a beautiful face, a graceful figure, and she was as graceful as a fairy.Looking around, whether it's the noble lady Shuyuan or the concubines in the palace, no one can compare.

With a calm expression and a person like a beautiful jade, when she stood among the wives, she really looked like a wild crane standing among the chickens, she was unparalleled in beauty and beauty, all the noble ladies were overshadowed by her, and their faces were dull.

The Empress Dowager Zhou was dazzled, her face fluctuating.There is such a stunning beauty in the world!Those draft officials are all idiots and idiots. If Mrs. Yang Wuhou can be selected into the palace early, how can the emperor...

If such a beauty was in the past, how could it not be Wan Zhener's opponent!The Empress Dowager Zhou recalled the years when Wan Zhen'er ruled the harem, her heart was ups and downs, and she was full of regrets.

The Empress Dowager Zhou specially summoned Mrs. Yangwuhou to ask a few words, and Mrs. Yangwuhou answered in a dignified and respectful manner, with a soft and hoarse voice, which was very pleasant.
