Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 2 Rebirth in Another World
Madam Shen's heart moved, she was not a fool, so she could naturally hear the implication of Madam Laiqiu's words.Especially that sentence, Mr. Shen is a fair official with a bright future, and he will definitely be able to move to the imperial court in the future.

The Qiu family is a century-old family, and Emperor Yongshun was seriously ill during this rebellion, so he might not be able to endure it for long.Then the prince will be on the Dabao logically. As the princeling's Master Qiu, he must be able to speak in front of the prince.Then in the future, the master's official career will naturally be limitless.Yu Shi is not that kind of vulgar woman with shallow eyelids, who only knows how to aspire to glory.She looked at her daughter, and saw that her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were shy, and she looked like a girl.I also saw that Qiu Zhongqing was very personable, like a bamboo like a jade, and he was a good husband-in-law.

She thought for a while, then nodded.

"Thanks to my sister's respect, how can my sister have no reason?" She said and took the jade pendant.

Mrs. Qiu was overjoyed, now, the old lady can no longer control Qing'er's marriage.

The story begins here.

In the spring of the 19th year of Emperor Xiaoren, March [-]th.The willows spit green, the flowers spit stamens, and the pink and green scenery is as unreal as a painting.

The setting sun is slanting to the west, and the orange-red sunset glow on the horizon dyes half of the sky, and the willows are drooping, but they are not half gorgeous.Which direction does the evening wind blow, bringing the sound of hooves.

The carriage is not luxurious, only light in color, with yellow tassels on the window sills.Occasionally, the breeze blows the brown curtains, and the faint fragrance of dew shows that the car must be a beautiful woman.

"Cough cough cough..."

The woman's suppressed and uncomfortable coughing sound came from time to time, and immediately the servant girl whispered.

"Stop quickly, Miss is afraid of motion sickness."

The carriage stopped immediately, and a maid with pink and green eyes and delicate eyebrows sitting in front of the carriage opened the curtain and walked in.Inside the car, a woman dressed in simple but elegant clothes was patted on the back of a girl in white with concern, her watery phoenix eyes filled with worry and distress.The ten-year-old boy next to her also looked at her worriedly.

"Mingyue, how are you?"

The girl put down her hand covering her lips, and raised her head slightly, revealing a pale but magnificent face, with picturesque eyebrows, even more so than that beautiful woman.Although he is only 13 years old, he has already begun to show his charm.

She smiled weakly, held the woman's hand, and shook her head.

"Mom, I'm fine. Cough, cough, cough..." Before she could finish her sentence, she covered her lips and coughed again.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan, who had just lifted the curtain of the car, hurried in and took out a small dish of sour plums from her bag.

"Miss, eat a sour plum."

"Yeah." The girl stretched out her slender pale hand, stuck a sour plum into her belly, and chewed it slowly.

"How long will it take to get to the capital?"

Lu Yuan frowned and said: "I'm afraid there are still two hours left, it's getting late now, I'm afraid the city gate is about to be unlocked."

The plain and elegant woman's complexion changed slightly, and there was a bit of eagerness in her eyes.

"That means we can't enter the city today?"

Qiu Mingyue leaned back, reached out and rubbed her tired temples, and said softly, "Ten miles ahead, there is Baohua Temple, a royal temple. Let's borrow a night there tonight." Her long eyelids drooped , to cover the fleeting emotions in the phoenix's eyes.

"This..." Chen hesitated a little, but after thinking about it for a while, there was no other way, knowing that her daughter had always had her own ideas, so she also acquiesced.

Lu Yuan got the order, nodded in response and walked out.

Only then did Qiu Mingrui step forward and ask concerned: "Sister, are you feeling unwell?"

Qiu Mingyue's eyes fell on her younger brother's face, which was somewhat similar to her own, and a soft color flashed across her indifferent eyes.She patted Qiu Mingrui's head and said, "Sister is fine, but she's a little tired after sitting in the carriage for too long."

She sighed slightly in her heart. In the 21st century with advanced technology, cars are everywhere in the city. Where is this ancient and dull means of transportation?It seems that she still has to learn to ride a horse someday.

Qiu Mingrui immediately said: "Then sister, you should rest first."

"En." Qiu Mingyue closed her eyes again and sighed deeply.

A year ago, she traveled to this ancient Chinese dynasty, the Jokhang Kingdom.This is a country with a strict feudal hierarchy and is very harsh on women.And her identity was even more embarrassing.Speaking of which, her father was the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, a second-rank member of the court, and her grandfather was a teacher of the Holy Master, and now a scholar of Longyuan Pavilion.However, her mother was the daughter of a criminal minister.According to the system of the Jokhang Kingdom, high officials in the DPRK are not allowed to privately accept the daughter of a criminal minister. In the lightest cases, they will be dismissed from office, and in severe cases, they will be distributed to the frontiers.Therefore, her mother, who was originally beautiful and talented, was reduced to an outsider, even worse than a concubine.Even with her and her brother, they became illegitimate children who could not see the light.

One month ago, when her grandfather's grievances were cleared up, her father sent someone to Yangzhou to pick them up, mother and son, back to Beijing.

In fact, Qiu Mingyue didn't want to go back to that big family. Since ancient times, there have been many dirty things in the compound of the wealthy family, and the fights can be described as fierce.The mother is weak and indisputable, how can she have a safe place to live in the autumn mansion where the tigers are looking around?However, the deep-rooted feudal thinking born in this era firmly imprisoned the mother.The education she has received since she was a child is the three obediences and the four virtues.Therefore, even the mother who was born in a noble family had to bear the humiliation and become one of the concubines of the father.

And in that strange Qiu Mansion, there is also Mrs. Qiu, Mrs. Lin, who has quite a wealth background.

Not only that, the entire Qiu Mansion has a population of hundreds of people, from the old master to the servant girls, and from the servant girls, brothers and sisters. There are many people and complex relationships.They have lived in Yangzhou all year round, and they don't know anything about the situation in the capital. How do they face unknown dangers?
Qiu Mingyue is not a person who complains about herself, nor is she a person who runs away from difficulties.She just didn't want to make herself too tired.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and she sighed slightly when she saw the fascinating scenery outside the window through the curtains blown by the wind from time to time.Forget it, since you can't avoid it, let's face it with a normal heart.

Half an hour later, the carriage finally stopped at the foot of the mountain.The journey was bumpy, Qiu Mingyue couldn't wait to lift the curtains, jumped out of the carriage without any demeanor, patted her chest, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Lu Yuan stood in front of the car door, maintaining the posture of opening the curtain with one hand, and stretched out the other hand in mid-air as if trying to help someone get off.A white shadow flickered in front of her eyes, and her outstretched hand fell in mid-air, and her eyes met with astonishment when she met Shen Shi who was also pressing the top of the car with one hand and was about to get off with a surprised face.

The boy driving the carriage had already widened his eyes, staring blankly at Qiu Mingyue who jumped out of the carriage.

After a long while, Shen came back to her senses and reprimanded lightly.

"Mingyue, you..."

"Mother, this is outside, so I don't need those etiquettes to restrain my daughter. I'm about to arrive in the capital. The Qiu family has strict etiquette and many rules. Only now is my son so free. Do you want to deprive them too?" Qiu Mingyue turned her head, helplessly met her mother's slightly harsh eyes, and said indifferently.
