daughter in power

Chapter 115 Reunion Dinner

Back at the palace, Qiqi finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw clearly the Imperial Forest Army standing on the wall of the yellow ocher palace.

She blinked, looked at King Xiaoyang who was sitting firmly opposite, and suddenly said: "You..."

She hesitated to speak, Xiaoyang Wang raised his head, casually picked up the tea-scented melon seeds on the table and gave her, raising his eyebrows: "What's the matter?"

She obediently stretched out her hand to take the melon seeds in her palm, and blinked: "Could it be that you deliberately put me in the palace as a maid?"

In the past, he put her in the plum garden and took good care of her. Later, he put her in the imperial dining room and made her do an idle job.

Anyway, it's better than putting her in Tingfenglou.

For example, if Nie Jiufeng and Huang Shan knew that she was in Tingfeng Tower, they would have come to her long ago.

So today, her corpse must be rotten like Ling'er.

King Xiaoyang said coldly: "Why do you want to ask this all of a sudden?"

Qiqi Wenwen: "I don't know, I just think you might do it on purpose."

She said seriously: "Because the palace is very safe, safer than any other place in Flowing Fire City."

I have never had such an awareness before, but today I met Huang Shan and Nie Jiufeng, and I realized it.

King Xiaoyang hooked his lips: "Dead wood can be carved."

She glared at him bitterly, and said displeasedly: "You are the rotten wood."

He smiled and handed me a handful of melon seeds.

She reached out to pick it up and found that the shells were all peeled off.

She raised her eyebrows and ate one by one into her mouth, waiting for him to speak.

Who knows, he has nothing to say at all.

She froze for a moment, and the carriage stopped.

The Imperial Forest Army said outside: "Miss Qiqi, please get out of the car and walk."

She is just a third-class palace lady, and she is not qualified to enter the palace by car.

The Great Emperor Wuwei received her carriage, naturally following the rules.

She raised her voice, "Okay." She hurriedly put the melon seeds in her hand back on the plate, and got out of the carriage with her skirt.

King Xiaoyang followed her.

The coachman drove away, Qiqi walked while receiving the eyes of the Imperial Forest Army.

It was obviously a carriage to pick her up, but when she came back, there was a person on it?

She lowered her head, knowing what everyone was thinking without having to think.

"Jiang Qiqi."

He stood behind and called her.

Qiqi warned: "Why?"

He stepped forward and walked side by side with her.

Walking side by side, Qiqi didn't speak, just walked with her head lowered in a muffled voice.

He didn't speak, and followed her pace at a leisurely pace.

Not too much, not too little, just right.

Along the way, the vegetation is luxuriant and sparkling.

The imperial palace in spring is full of lively greenery.

He said, "Are you still angry with me?"

Qiqi was taken aback for a moment: "No."

After blurting it out, she realized what he was asking, and she couldn't help but blushed.

He smiled lightly: "Are you really not angry anymore?" His voice was psychedelic and gentle, hazy and lazy.

There was no one around on the palace road, and the vegetation was deep, so Qiqi couldn't help being on guard: "How dare you!"

"Haha..." It was rare for him to be happy, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Shaking his head after laughing, he said in a deep voice, "Okay, I won't quarrel with you anymore. I caught Nie Jiufeng and Huang Shan today, and I have something to say to Xie Liancheng. You...don't have to worry about someone harming you."

Qiqi never makes enemies with others, so she won't be worried about someone harming her.

She muttered, "I'm not worried."

He nodded: "In the future, Tingfenglou can go for a walk. Jiang Maoyou has been busy with official duties since he took office, and Mrs. Jiang is bored at home alone."

But she is just a palace lady, she will go back wherever she can.

She didn't make a sound, but her eyes were slightly dimmed.

He smiled and said, "Anyway, you won't be able to live in this palace for a few days. From now on, you can go wherever you want."

She was taken aback for a moment, but instead of being overwhelmed by joy, she hesitated and said, "Why?"

King Xiaoyang didn't tell her.

Even after he sent her back to the imperial dining room, he never looked for her again.

It wasn't until Shuang'er returned home according to the etiquette that she got the chance to get in a carriage and go to Changhunhou's mansion to meet Shuang'er.

It is the second time to leave the palace freely.

Changhunhou's mansion is still the same as the day Shuang'er got married, and he entered Feiyu Pavilion all the way, and saw Shuang'er wiping his face with a sweat towel.

Qiqi blinked, but didn't see the man of King Guangdu, and said hesitantly: "I heard that you are going to bring your husband and son-in-law to visit Lord Hou when you return home, why are you here alone?"

Shuang'er smiled, and handed the sweat towel to the maid: "The lord is talking to his godfather, I'll take a break and come back to wash my face, it's so hot."

Three days into their marriage, Shuang'er is still as cunning as before.Qiqi smiled and felt relieved: "Going home today is considered a formal visit to my mother's house, did you inform your relatives outside the palace?"

Shuang'er was startled when she heard the words, and waved her hand to tell the servant girl to go out, walked to the window, looked at a pot of green leaf narcissus on the window sill, and said lightly: "I forgot to tell you, I have no father, no mother, and no relatives at all. Now, what are you doing?" Father and godmother are my relatives."

Unexpectedly, on the day when Shuang'er returned home, Shuang'er's sadness was touched, and Qiqi hurriedly said: "I don't know...you are in this situation, it's all because I didn't ask you."

Shuang'er turned her head back: "You have already asked, I just refused to tell you."

The two sat opposite each other, drank tea for a while, and ate a plate of snacks.

He didn't speak for a moment.

A servant girl called out from the door: "Princess, Lord Hou invites you to come over. The time has come, dinner is ready."

Shuang'er got up, and picked up a dark-colored thong and put it on carefully.

When she put on the thong like this, she really couldn't see her face clearly.

Qiqi didn't understand what it meant, Shuang'er curled her lips into a smile: "My lord hasn't seen me yet, I want to listen to you, I won't see him for a month."

It is inconvenient for Qiqi to accompany the Hou Mansion to entertain their daughter and son-in-law.

Marquis Chang Hun arranged another banquet for her, she waved her hand and said to the servant girl, "I'd better go back to the palace, it's still early anyway."

The maid kept her again and again, but she refused to rest, and hurried out of Changhunhou's mansion.

After leaving the palace, she had no intention of returning to the palace.

The coachman didn't seem to have any intention of forcing her back to the palace.

Qiqi raised the car curtain: "I want to go to the west of the city... that is the building opposite Nomura Martial Arts Hall."

She didn't know the exact address of the house, but she remembered Nomura Martial Arts.

The coachman said: "This subordinate understands that the prince has already explained that he wants to take you home."

Qiqi was stunned, staring at the coachman's back for a while, pulled down the curtain, and leaned against the carriage thinking about something.

Soon after arriving at Tingfeng Tower, it was still her maid who greeted her.

Chunlan, Xiahe, Qiuju, and Dongmei saluted in unison, and rushed forward with smiles.

Don't think about it, I've been waiting for a long time.

She brushed the flowers on her temples and couldn't help smiling.

After going up the steps and entering the door, the old concierge greeted her warmly: "Miss is back?"

She nodded and smiled: "I'm back."

All the way to the flower hall, Mrs. Jiang was watching the maid kicking the shuttlecock in the yard.Seeing Qiqi, he smiled and said: "Hurry up, kick two for my mother to see."

The words are intimate and familiar, probably because he got the news that she was going home early.

She walked over: "Mother, did he tell you that I want to come back?"

Mrs. Jiang blinked, and smiled from ear to ear: "Who is he?"

"It's King Xiaoyang!"

Unpleasant.

"Yo." Mrs. Jiang blinked: "It turns out that King Xiaoyang is the one!"

After saying a word, all the maids in the courtyard couldn't help laughing.

The atmosphere was lively, Yu'er ran out from the entrance of the hall, and said with a loud smile: "Miss, come and drink soup, Madam has been waiting for you to eat."

I really didn't expect that Mrs. Jiang could even predict that she didn't want to eat at Changhunhou's mansion.

Qiqi rubbed her belly and walked towards the flower hall: "I'm a little hungry."

Mrs. Jiang followed her, reaching out and patting her on the back: "My lord told me yesterday that you are going home for lunch today. Your father has already ordered his servants to cook your favorite dishes. Go quickly."

Qiqi rolled her eyes, lord, lord, in her mother's mouth, only King Xiaoyang was left.

The mother and daughter had a happy meal, and Jiang Maoyou came back from the yamen in time.

This is a reunion.

When he talked about the newly appointed job in the Ministry of Industry, he immediately introduced it endlessly.

From the Minister of the Ministry of Industry to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, from the Minister of the Ministry of Industry to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, from the Minister of the Ministry of Industry to himself, and from himself to the servant of the Ministry of Industry.

There are so many things, probably all of them are newer than what happened in Linshui County.

He sat unsteadily at the table, and said with a smile: "Master Shang Shu talked to me the day before yesterday, and said that as long as I work hard for a year or two, I will definitely be promoted to be a servant."

Qiqi blinked her eyes: "Is the servant a senior official?"

Jiang Maoyou hurriedly patted his heart: "Compared to Gao Shichong's official title, it is much larger."

After all, his mind was still in the tiny place of Lizhou Mansion.

Mrs. Jiang said: "After entering Liuhuo City and becoming a court official, you still think about Linshui County, the capital of Lizhou all day long. You don't dislike being tired. I really promoted you to be a servant, and you will only know Lizhou. The government has a little bit of cat scratching ability."

Jiang Maoyou refused, the husband and wife argued for a long time, and each laughed and ate, which was considered to be over.

The meal was good, but when the mention of Mr. Gao Shichong of Lizhou Mansion was mentioned during the dinner, several people couldn't help sighing.

Gao Shichong is not as lucky as Jiang Maoyou, and he is considered useless in this life.

Including the descendants of the Gao family, if they want to earn fame in the future, they have to start all over again.

Qiqi said: "If there is an opportunity in the future, I will also dispatch Gao Shichong. See if I can pull the Gao family's children."

Back then when Qiqi was selected as a draft pick, she protected the Gao and Jiang families, and she also had the power of Gao Shichong.

Besides, the two are godfather and goddaughter in name.

Jiang Maoyou nodded: "Don't worry, I have already edited a book for my father, and I should be able to go to the Gao family in a few days. If the son of the Gao family doesn't dislike it, I will guarantee him to study in Liuhuo City."

He is now a secretary of the Ministry of Industry. Although he is a low-level official, he is also a court official.

It is not difficult to keep a common people's children enrolled in school.

If the descendants of the Gao family can further study in the institutions of higher learning in Liuhuo City, it will also be a great help to obtain fame in the future.

Qiqi nodded: "Alright."

The family went on eating and talking about other insignificant things.

Today there is Qiqi's favorite dish, she inevitably eats a few more.

Jiang Maoyou and his wife were busy adding food to her, and they couldn't stop laughing during the meal.

After eating and drinking enough, Yu'er handed over tea to rinse her mouth, Qiqi reached out to take it, and rinsed her mouth warmly.

Mrs. Jiang suddenly said: "Qiqi, when are you going home, so mother can buy you a banquet to get rid of bad luck."

She was taken aback, puzzled.

Mrs. Jiang was calmer than her, and said suspiciously: "My lord said, you will leave the palace and return home in just a few days, do you still want to sneak out without telling mother?"
