Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 251 Entering the palace and facing the saint (1)

Shi Yiqing joked with a smile: "It will be a long night for a while, and there will be plenty of time to talk in detail."

Zhu Xi was about to open his mouth in a daze, but when he saw Xing'er came back, he stopped, and heard Xing'er say: "Master said that the vegetarian meal has been prepared, please come and eat."

Because it was in the Buddhist temple, all the clothes were kept simple, so Shi Yiqing didn't need to change clothes, and led Zhu Xi and Xing'er to the front.

Shi Yiqing clasped his hands together: "I see Mrs. Huixin."

Master Huixin returned the salute, looked Shi Yiqing up and down, and said with a smile: "I said goodbye to Miss Jiu many years ago, and I just thought that I would never see each other again. Like yesterday."

Shi Yiqing thanked Mrs. Huixin with a smile: "It's been a long time since we've seen each other, and now we meet, we should first congratulate Mrs. Huixin on being promoted to abbot."

Master Huixin pointed at Shi Yiqing and said to Yinshan County Lord: "Miss Nine is as sweet as she was many years ago. I feel very relieved to hear that poor nun!"

The Lord Yinshan took Shi Yiqing's hand with a smile, and said, "Isn't it? Talking to me made me get two more wrinkles."

After everyone laughed, they sat down as guests and hosts. Shi Yiqing served the Lord Yinshan after dinner, and then stood aside to listen to Mrs. Huixin and the Lord Yinshan speak to Mrs. Xiao. Come out with great interest.

When it was getting late, Shi Yiqing followed Mrs. Xiao and sent Mrs. Huixin out of the backyard. She was about to wait for the Yinshan County Lord to rest when she heard Mrs. Xiao say: "You have worked hard these two days, and the county owner doesn't need it." You wait, go down and rest."

Hearing this, Shi Yiqing was a little surprised, and said goodbye to Mrs. Xiao calmly, and led the girl down to rest.

Although Yi Qing didn't fully understand the thoughts of Yinshan county lord and Madam Xiao, she did know that they brought her from Xiao's house to Fahua Temple to make her suffer.She knew that since the Xiao family had formed an alliance with her, they would not do anything that would harm her, but if she let it go, I am afraid that the Lord of Yinshan County would not let it go, so he had to enslave a little bit more. .

"Miss, it's getting late, it's time to rest."

Shi Yiqing came back to his senses in a daze, saw Zhu Xi serving the mattress and sighed softly: "Zhu Xi, come here, let's talk."

Zhu Xi obediently sat on the footrest: "I see that the young lady's complexion is not very good, but are you tired?"

Shi Yiqing raised his hand to touch his cheek, and said with a wry smile: "It's nothing to be tired of being able to make the county head and his wife happy."

Zhu Xi lowered his eyes thoughtfully: "Actually, miss, you can ignore the Xiao family. Now you are a serious princess, a nobleman of the royal family, who dares to show you face."

"A princess without a backing, I'm afraid anyone would dare to show me face." Shi Yiqing raised his hand and leaned on his head, and sighed, "Zhuxi, do you know that there are so many maids in the house, why did I call you?" You and Xing'er come out with me?"

"The slave does not know."

Shi Yiqing smiled and said, "I don't know, or don't dare to know?"

Seeing that Zhu Xi lowered his eyes and did not answer, Shi Yiqing smiled and said, "You are really a smart person. I like smart people."

Shi Yiqing straightened his body, leaned on the back of the chair and continued: "If I had just returned to Beijing, as long as I tried my best to get out of the gate of the Shi family, I would have a way to leave the capital, so that no one can find me. But now, I'm trapped here by a title issued by the emperor, and I'm afraid I won't be able to leave if I want to."

"Miss doesn't want to stay in Beijing, stay in Shi's house?"

Shi Yiqing's expression was dull: "What's so good here? All day long, I think about who has fought whom, and who has the upper hand. Even my own sisters have to fight, let alone others. This kind of I have had enough days, where is my manor to be at ease."

Zhu Xi went to look at Shi Yiqing with a complicated expression: "But Miss is the princess now, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's just like what Miss said, I can't leave even if I want to."

Shi Yiqing sighed softly and said, "You are right. This is why I want to form an alliance with the Xiao family."

She paused, and continued: "Although the Lord of Yinshan County is only a county leader, he has a huge power behind him. If he uses it well, he can bless me and Qi'er Pan'er for a safe life."

"But miss, have you ever thought that forming an alliance with Mrs. Xiao is nothing more than seeking skin from a tiger!"

Shi Yiqing tilted his head to look at Zhu Xi: "It seems that you are more thorough than me. Zhu Xi, I did not misunderstand you, you are a secretive person. Unfortunately, you are a woman. I'm afraid I'm going to make a mistake."

Zhu Xi lowered his gaze inexplicably: "As long as the young lady fulfills Zhu Xi, maybe Zhu Xi's thought is not a mistake."

"what do you want?"

Zhu Xi gave a wry smile and said: "I am just a woman, what can I want, I just want a safe place to live and no longer be enslaved by others. Miss, I defected from the old lady to you, I am I will follow you, no matter where you go, I, Zhu Xi, will follow faithfully and never betray you!"

Shi Yiqing stared into Zhu Xi's eyes and asked, "Are you willing to follow me? Why?"

Zhu Xi opened his mouth with a sad expression: "Didn't the lady ask me earlier that the old lady pointed me at a boy in the house many years ago? Does the lady know that when I heard what the old lady said, I secretly Happy for a while, with the old lady behind my back, I even prepared the wedding dress, just waiting for him to come to the old lady to ask me to go there. But who knows, I offended too many people, told him to marry someone else, and paid him back Let people come and talk to me and tell me to congratulate them."

Thinking about the past, Zhu Xi's expression was indifferent, but his words contained grief and indignation: "If I never had this thing with him, or if he made it clear to me that he doesn't like me and doesn't want to marry me, I will definitely marry the old lady." If I make it clear, I will bless them even more. But with this matter, how can I still bless them!"

Shi Yiqing stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder in relief: "So, you were delayed? Didn't grandma think about others?"

Referring to the old lady Meng, Zhu Xi's expression was very complicated, it seemed to be fearful, but also with some hatred: "The old lady was very angry when she heard about this, and asked the old lady to send the newlyweds to their hometown in Hangzhou. They are not allowed to come back to the capital. Because of this incident, the people in the family dared not show their anger towards the old lady, but they complained about me, who had never done anything before. I usually have a good relationship. They gradually lost contact with each other, and finally became more and more strange and polite. Perhaps from then on, the Shi family has become my cage. I want to break free from it, but I can't escape its clutches. I can only do it day after day. Accompanying the old lady to chant Buddha in the nunnery, but she is just a living dead."

"So, in fact, you didn't want to leave just because you wanted to get rid of the control of the eldest lady?"

Zhu Xi lowered his eyes in a panic, and said hesitantly: "Yes, I was hiding something before, I didn't know how to tell the truth, and I didn't dare to say it. Miss, you don't blame me, do you?"

Shi Yiqing smiled reassuringly: "Don't worry, since you have entered my door, you are my man, no matter what your motives are, I will protect you."

She thought for a while, and continued: "Does grandma know what's on her mind?"

Zhu Xi thought about it and said: "The old lady's thoughts are not in these places, she probably doesn't know what I'm thinking. If she knew, she probably couldn't have sent me to look after Master Qier before."

Shi Yiqing nodded, and said with a smile: "I still don't know where I am now, I'm afraid I can't guarantee your safety and security, but I believe that as long as I'm here, I will be able to take good care of you, don't call me You are wronged."

"I don't need to worry about this. When Miss left Beijing, even the little girls who followed her before, the lady arranged them very well. Based on this, the servant believes in Miss."

"Just as long as you believe me, I'm afraid you won't believe me." Shi Yiqing rubbed his swollen forehead, "It's getting late, and I have to get up early tomorrow to serve the county magistrate, I think the two of us should rest early. "

Zhu Xi hurriedly got up and waited for Shi Yiqing to fall asleep, and fixed all the things, then sat down on the couch beside him, stared blankly at Shi Yiqing for a while, and finally fell into a light sleep unbearable.

Shi Yiqing was always sensitive, and with the bamboo breath sleeping next to her, it was even more difficult to sleep. She managed to sleep for a while until the middle of the night, when she was woken up by Xing'er.

When Shi Yiqing was about to follow the Xiao family back to Xiao's house after serving the county master of Yinshan, an eunuch and guards came from the palace: "By the Queen Mother's order, Xuan Yuan and the county master will enter the palace."

Shi Yiqing had no choice but to get into the carriage and followed the eunuch into the palace. On the way back to Beijing from Fahua Temple, she didn't have the heart to think about why the queen mother was so eager to recruit her into the palace. She was sleepy with her eyes closed After a while, the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace.

Xing'er who was following behind said in a trembling voice: "Miss, miss, this is the first time this servant enters the palace, so nervous!"

Zhu Xi smiled and went to look at Xing'er: "Not everyone can enter the inner courtyard of the palace, the two of us can't."

Xing'er was startled when she heard this, and hurriedly asked Shi Yiqing: "Miss, is it true? You really don't want to take me in?"

Shi Yiqing, who was sleepy and irritable, said impatiently: "If the guard at the door lets you in, I will take you in."

Xing'er saw that Shi Yiqing's expression was not very good-looking, so she stopped talking, losing the joy she had just now.

The eunuch outside the carriage invited Shi Yiqing to get off the carriage with a shrill voice, and said to Zhu Xi and Xing'er, "You guys wait here."

After speaking, he led Shi Yiqing into the palace.

Xing'er, who was waiting outside, held her mouth and muttered: "What's the air, I'm just a eunuch!"

Zhu Xi hurriedly took a step forward and grabbed Xing'er's sleeve, yelling in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, be careful, someone will hear you!"
