blue bird song

Chapter 73
Jia Shuning never thought that for some things, shelving means giving up.

Zhengzheng Xie Shidu probably didn't expect that because of his objection, the emperor delayed the establishment of concubines.After that, she never had a concubine in her life.Not to mention the lack of a concubine for a lifetime, and the return of children is not abundant.

If time could be turned back, I don't know if the upright Xie Shidu would still write that book and oppose the emperor's establishment of a concubine.

In September, when the autumn wind gradually picked up and the heat gradually subsided, the King of Jin went to Yangwuhou Mansion to ask Qi Yu to see him.Qi Yu had already learned from Wang Tangjing's mouth about the deep affection that King Jin had for Qing Que, so he came to the door in person, not at all surprised, and ordered someone to invite him to the study.

King Jin bowed respectfully, "Ma'am, I am here this time to propose to your love."

A beautiful girl's face protruded from behind the screen, blushing all over.

"Propose to Ling'ai", he said to my mother, it was clearly...

I am my mother's only daughter.

Although he already knew the purpose of King Jin's visit, Qi Yu was still quite moved when he saw the solemnity and importance of King Jin, and his voice was as warm as spring, "Your Highness came to the door in person, which shows sincerity. You and Qingque have known each other for a long time. I heard that Concubine Shao Gui also likes her very much, which is really gratifying."

The girl changed face.blue sparrow?How could it be Sister Qingque?

Suddenly there was a "bang" sound from behind the screen, accompanied by a woman's exclamation.King Jin still sat dignifiedly, as if he didn't hear it at all, Qi Yu frowned slightly.

"Your Highness has a noble status, a noble character, and is impeccable." Qi Yuwen said in a warm voice: "It will be her blessing if Qingque can serve and hold the towel."

King Jin bowed politely, "No, it's my honor."

Qi Yu smiled, "Qingque didn't grow up in front of me. I don't know what's on her mind. If Your Highness doesn't mind, why don't I ask her personally? She is different from ordinary women, and her life is a big deal, I think. Ask her first."

King Jin was in awe, "Yes, you are really thoughtful."

Originally, King Jin disliked Qi Yu very much.She gave birth to Qing Que, but she didn't love Qing Que very much. She never gave Qing Que affection and warmth since she was a child.Now hearing her reasonable and considerate words for Qingque, her view of Qi Yu was greatly changed.

After Jin Wang finished his business, he quickly left.

Sending off the King of Jin, Qi Yu sat on the official hat chair with four heads, holding a tea bowl in his hand, and slowly turned the tea stem, "Ayang, come out."

A twelve or thirteen-year-old girl in green clothes moved out step by step from behind the screen with tears in her eyes.She was in her cardamom years, with a delicate figure and a beautiful face. At this moment, there were tears on her face, which made her look even more pitiful.

Qi Yu glanced at her patiently, "Mother is entertaining guests and talking about serious business, what are you doing behind the screen, knocking things over, and screaming, it's really rude."

Qi Yu was too familiar with Xue Yang, so when he heard the exclamation just now, he knew that Xue Yang was behind.

Xue Yang endured and endured, but still couldn't help but burst into Qi Yu's arms with tears falling like rain, "Mother, how could he do this? How could you do this?" He cried and complained indistinctly, making Qi Yu confused .

Qi Yu was a little annoyed when she saw that she was still a child at the age of twelve or thirteen, and she was ignorant, but when she saw her crying like this, she couldn't help feeling distressed, so she coaxed her softly, "Ah Yang, don't cry, don't cry .”

Qi Yu coaxed Xue Yang for a long time, and then slowly realized something that made her back shiver: A Yang just started to hear King Jin's marriage proposal, thinking it was asking to marry her.I found out later that it wasn't, which was very sad.Ayang, she... probably likes King Jin a little bit.

"Ayang, put away your tears!" Qi Yu helped Xue Yang up, and his tone became severe, "Girls, be reserved and respectful, understand? Someone comes to ask your sister to marry, and it has nothing to do with you. Remember it clearly!"

"No way!" A Yang stamped his feet willfully and shouted: "He asked to marry his sister, so go to Qi's house, what are you doing at Xue's house? What are you doing to provoke me? He is bad, and so is mother!"

Qi Yu never had the courage to face the embarrassing scene before, and he never explained to Xue Yang that the blue bird was his own. Hearing Xue Yang's cry, his whole body went limp.

"Okay, stop arguing." Qi Yu said weakly: "It's useless for you to quarrel with me. He is asking to marry the daughter of the Qi family. Your surname is Xue. No matter what, I will not be next to you. Ayang, don't let your imagination run wild." , he is not yours."

Xue Yang stomped his feet and went to complain to Xue Neng.Qi Yu felt powerless and didn't want to bother her.

"...A Yang, good girl, the King of Jin wants to marry Qing Que, so he really should come to our house to propose." In the study, Xue Neng dismissed all the idlers and told Xue Yang carefully, "Qing Que belongs to your mother. My own daughter, if he wants to marry your sister Qingque, shouldn't he come to our house."

"He came to ask to marry Qingque, so he only asked to see your mother and refused to see me. If he wanted to...beg to marry you, he should tell me or your brother that there is no reason to ask to see your mother .”

Xue Yang made a small face, "I don't like Sister Qingque!" Xue Neng sighed, "My dear girl, she never grew up with her own parents, it's very pitiful. She is your own sister, please don't be like this."

Xue Yang was bored for a long time, "If she doesn't marry King Jin, I will like her." Seeing her childish appearance, Xue Neng felt distressed and amused at the same time, "How can it be so between sisters? She's all right now. , aren't you happy for her?"

"Anyway, I just don't like her!" Xue Yang felt heavy and uncomfortable, he threw a sentence at Xue Neng, and left with resentment.

Xue Neng followed her, saw her enter Xue Hu's study, shook his head and smiled, and ignored her.With Ah Hu around, I don't need to worry about being a father.

"Brother, sister Qingque, is that my real sister?" Xue Yang asked pitifully after sitting for a while.Xue Hu was startled, where did A Yang hear about it?However, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. Sooner or later, Ayang will know that Qing Que is not her cousin, but her half-sister.Xue Hu held A Yang's little hand, and slowly told her, "Father and mother got married later. Before father, there was me, and before mother, there was Qingque. Ayang, you and Qingque are just like you and brother. They are relatives whose blood is thicker than water.”

While the two brothers and sisters were talking, the young servant knocked on the door and reported cautiously, "My lord, Mr. Zhang from the British government has come and asked to see his wife alone."

Xue Neng said lightly: "Understood." The young man bowed, stepped back respectfully, and left the room.

"He came to propose to Sister Qingque?" Xue Yang asked curiously: "If it's something else, Mr. Zhang shouldn't ask to see his mother, he should see his father and brother."

"A Yang is really smart." Xue Hu praised his sister with a smile.

Xue Yang blushed.She has always been naive, how could she have thought of this, but she just heard what her father said.

"I don't think Jin Wang and Zhang Shizi are very good." Xue Yang curled his lips, "Those princes are very extravagant, and there are at least dozens of beauties in the mansion! Zhang Shizi, it's very strange, why his parents Not coming out?"

The king of Jin respected Qingque, and asked the wishes of the female family before the royal decree.What is Zhang Shizi?If the British husband and wife don't show up, it doesn't count if he says it.

"Your elder sister Qingque is a good girl who is upright and upright." Xue Hu was silent for a moment, then said gently: "King Jin and Prince Zhang, no matter who can marry her, it is a blessing."

There was indescribable melancholy in Xue Hu's tone.Xue Yang's heart moved, and he smiled and asked Mimi: "Brother, how about you? If you can marry Sister Qingque, wouldn't you be very blessed?"

Xue Hu was stunned by her sudden question.

Xue Yang looked at his dumbfounded look, and approached him with great interest, "Brother, you don't really miss my sister, do you?"

Xue Hu smiled bitterly, "Who am I worthy of? A Yang, I have married a wife, and your sister-in-law still has a son and a daughter. How can you be a good girl like Sister Qingque as your successor?"

"Brother, what are you talking about?" Xue Yang changed his face and jumped up, "Mother is also a step-wife, are you scolding her?"

"Of course not." Seeing his younger sister's angry face flushed, Xue Hu hurriedly explained: "Father and mother were married before, but elder brother was married before, and your elder sister Qingque is from a pure girl's family, so it's not a good match."

Xue Hu coaxed Xue Yang with kind words, and Xue Yang finally calmed down.

"I think you two are a good match." Xue Yang raised his face contentedly, with a sweet smile on his face, "Brother, if you marry Sister Qingque, I will wake up laughing from my dreams! She is an older sister and an older sister. My sister-in-law, I am so beautiful. If my sister comes to our house, the mother-in-law is my mother, how comfortable life will be."

Xue Hu's heart skipped a beat.If you rely on yourself alone, it's hard to get green birds and blue eyes, but if you add your stepmother... I'm afraid you may not be able to compete with Jin Wang and Zhang Shizi!
Jin Wang has his own pride and demeanor, even if he knows that he is competing with him, he will not be annoyed.

If I still want to continue, how can there be a more suitable girl than Qingque?She is frank and open-minded, and it is impossible for her to abuse the children left by her ex-wife.

Urged by Xue Yang, Xue Hu also went to ask to see Qi Yu, and stammered to explain why he came.

In one day, three men proposed to Qing Que, and Qi Yu couldn't tell what it was like.

The next day, she went back to Wang's house, and before she went, she wrote a letter to Wang Tangjing, asking her grandfather to pick up Qingque.Wang Tangjing thought she was missing Qingque, so he didn't think much about it.

Qingque also thought that Lady Fairy missed her, so she came excitedly.

Qing Que is just seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a fresh and elegant light green dress, with eyebrows like distant mountains, skin that is as radiant as snow, and long black and lustrous hair tied up with a golden headband, simple and lively.

She smiled and stood in front of Qi Yu, Qi Yu felt a blur in front of his eyes, as if he saw himself when he was young.Slim as jade, bright as clouds, full of vigor from top to bottom, making people feel warm at first glance.

"Qingque, you have grown up." Qi Yu sighed softly, "It's time to get married."

Qing Que sat down beside her slowly, and asked with a smile, "Who are you going to marry me to?"

Qi Yu smiled slightly, "Shouldn't you be shy when you mention marriage, even if you're just pretending."

Qingque smiled mischievously, "I was born by you! Do you still have to pretend to be with you?"

Qi Yu's heart was softened by her smile, and he gently grabbed her little hand, "Qing Que, if it's an ordinary girl, naturally her parents should worry about her marriage. You are different from them, but you have to make decisions about your marriage."

Qingque nodded, "Yes, everything has advantages and disadvantages. I see that I am a bit busy, but I can decide my own affairs, and I don't have to rely on others."

Qi Yu felt sad for some reason.You don't have to rely on others, Qingque, it's easier said than done.

Qi Yu calmed down, smiled and said: "Yesterday, there were three men who proposed to you. First, King Jin, then Zhang Hu, and finally Xue Hu. King Jin has a noble status. If you marry him, you will become a princess and live a prosperous and honorable life." Zhang Hu took care of you since childhood, I am very grateful to him, but his parents did not show up, I always feel uneasy; as for Xue Hu, he is the worst of the three, but you married him, We can get along day and night."

A dreamy smile appeared on Qi Yu's face, "If you marry Xue Hu, I can love you. Qingque, I can love you openly."

Qing Que looked at her fascinated, and there seemed to be brisk music in her ears, making people want to fly.She said "I can love you now", she said "Qing Que, I can love you openly".

What a beautiful voice she has.
