Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 265 Old Year New Year (1)

Cao Qingyun is very smart, when he heard the meaning of Shi Yi Qingming's words, his heart tightened, he hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and said: "Sister, be careful that walls have ears, if this word gets out, I'm afraid it will be bad for my sister."

As soon as the words fell, Cao Qingyun approached Shi Yiqing and asked in a low voice: "I think my sister has great powers, so she naturally knows what's going on in the battlefield ahead? But General Huangfu's troops defeated the puppet Chu Dynasty?"

"I didn't say that." Shi Yiqing smiled relaxedly, moistened his throat with a tea bowl, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is a seldom-seen emperor who is both civil and military. People who can stand side by side with the emperor, Wen Tao and Wu Lue, are you and me who are raised in the boudoir and can spy a little? If the emperor wants to use General Huangfu, General Huangfu will naturally win face for the emperor and beat the fake Chu Dynasty. It's like falling flowers and flowing water!"

Shi Yiqing looked at Cao Qingyun with a smile on his lips, and said: "But this is just the wild imagination of Qing'er, a little girl. I dare not speculate on the royal will, and I can't speculate on it."

Seeing that Cao Qingyun turned pale with anger from being blocked by him, Shi Yiqing felt secretly refreshed, and carefully concealed the pride in his eyes.

She hates people like Cao Qingyun who pretend to be smart, and now relying on her sister to be promoted to a nobleman, if she wants to ask someone to do something, she must ask others to speak up, it seems that this is giving her face.

Cao Qingyun tidied up his disheveled look, forced a smile and said, "What my sister said is that our Dayan Dynasty was strong and strong since the time of our ancestors, and now it is getting stronger and stronger in the hands of the current sage, and we will definitely be able to defeat the puppet Chu Dynasty, call General Huangfu to return to the court!"

The two of you praised each other one by one, and the Emperor Minggan came. After eating a bowl of tea, Cao Qingyun changed the subject: "Sister, Beijing and China have not been peaceful these two days, and there are many rumors about my sister. People don’t know which one to believe.”

"A smart person like my sister should know that the villain Zuo just wanted to use my affairs to ruin the reputation of the Shi family. I have done the right thing, so why should I be afraid of lies fabricated by others? Woolen cloth?"

Cao Qingyun saw that Shi Yiqing responded calmly, lowered his eyes to straighten the tassels on his waist, and said with a smile: "My sister is doing right, I know about it, but you also know about it, my sister, this rumor is an invisible sword that can kill people. Don't talk about anything else, just talk about the younger sister's child, and then you will offend Mr. Shi, and drive your younger sister out to live indiscriminately. If it were me, I would like to call the father of the child out, and the two families will discuss it. Fan, make a wedding for others to see, so as to silence others, right?"

Shi Yiqing raised his eyebrows: "Who is the father of the child? Doesn't everyone in the capital know? Sister, don't you also know? Why are you asking me?"

Seeing that Shi Yiqing's eyes were angry, Cao Qingyun wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a smile, "It's not that I don't believe my sister's words, it's just that there is no movement from the Gao family. Don't talk about my sister's house, just talk about my sister." If the child of the Shi family really belongs to the Gao family, how could the Gao family remain indifferent? To put it bluntly, if the three masters of the Shi family knew that the child belonged to the Gao family, even if the Gao family did not come to beg their sister to go back, they would not Why not send someone to confirm with the Gao family?"

"Sister, why don't you believe me?" Shi Yiqing looked at Cao Qingyun and smiled slightly. "You should ask me this way. Sister Cao tried every means to find out who the father of the child is. Why? I just want to take it." Make a bargaining chip so that it can be sent to the waste prince? But my sister already knows that the waste prince is a grasshopper after autumn. She is as smart as her sister, so why would she work for him? Or is there another backer behind her? ?”

"Then my sister thinks, who is my backer?"

Shi Yiqing stared at Cao Qingyun coldly, saw her looking back at him calmly, and replied softly: "Sister, sister, I want to persuade you, the current emperor is in his prime, and several princes under his knees, such as King Wei and King Yan, follow him The king and the others are all grown-ups, even if the person behind my sister wants to join the army to fight and establish himself as a king, he must have the right time, place and people, but it won't work."

Cao Qingyun's downcast eyes were icy cold, but the corners of his mouth smiled charmingly: "Sister, sister, I am timid, don't scare me."

Shi Yiqing suddenly sneered, covered his stomach and said, "I still think of my sister as if I was a child, and I'm not afraid of anything? Are these two jokes making my sister afraid?"

As if the tension just now was just a joke, Shi Yiqing smiled heartily, Cao Qingyun smiled shyly, the two of them talked about the dessert for a while, then heard a girl in the corridor tell that it was someone from the Xiao family who wanted to meet See Shi Yiqing.

Shi Yiqing nodded and stood up, and said apologetically, "Sister, Qing'er excuse me, come as soon as you go."

As the girl entered the side room, she saw that the Xiao family had sent a young boy who was brought in by the girl, so he didn't dare to look up. Miss Biao sent a letter."

Seeing outsiders, Shi Yiqing asked through the curtain: "I haven't seen the county magistrate and aunt for a long time, I don't know if they are okay now?"

The boy replied: "Return to Miss Biao, the boy only waits at the door, and doesn't know about the county magistrate and his wife."

Shi Yiqing took the envelope from Xing'er, saw that the wax on the seal was intact, and said to Mo Wu who was standing behind him, "Go to Uncle Zhong and give some copper coins to this kid."

The boy thanked Shi Yiqing, and followed the girl outside the door to bow and retreat.

Shi Yiqing carefully opened the letter, shook the letter paper, and saw that the handwriting on it was Mrs. Xiao's, so she read it carefully. When she looked up again, her face was heavy, and she seemed to be in a daze for a while, worried.

Everything is like a spider's web waiting to be caught, and the roots are so intertwined that even people who are in it may find it difficult to peek into one of them.

Such as the authorities, Murong Man.He only thought that he was the one who was reaping the benefits of the fisherman, but he never realized that his power was swallowed up bit by bit, and when he realized it, he had already become the top meat of others and was at the mercy of others.

Shi Yiqing couldn't help but think of Master Chen, a person who was supposed to be chanting scriptures and chanting Buddha all day long, a spotless person who fell into power disputes in the world, left Buddhist precepts behind, and followed behind an ambitious person like Murong Man , I am afraid that humans and gods will be disgusted, and in the end they can only fall into Avici Hell and become demons.

"Miss." Mo Wu stepped forward and called softly, "The lady from the Cao family is still waiting in the Nuan Pavilion."

After Shi Yiqing came to his senses, he folded the letter according to the original traces, put it back into the envelope, asked Xing'er to find a copper basin, lit the envelope, and then threw it in the copper basin, looking at the flickering The fire completely burned the letter paper, and then she felt relieved and asked Xing'er to throw it away behind her back.

The days have not changed because of Murong Man's disturbance, the sun is still hot, the snowflakes are still flying in winter, Qi'er's illness is getting better, Shi Yiqing took him back to Shi's house to see the old lady, and occasionally bumped into her Shi Jingran who spoke in the nunnery.Cao Qingyun had been visiting Shi Yiqing recently, and the two of them couldn't speak a few words, so she just left, which made Shi Yiqing even more astonished, and asked someone to inquire about the Cao family's affairs, but they didn't find anything.

In this way, Shi Yiqing took the whole family to leave the old year safely and welcome the new year.

The winter in the capital city is very cold compared to Feishui Town in the south where the climate is mild. Shi Yiqing and Mo Wu are already used to this kind of weather, but there is a strange child in the house who has never seen snow since he was a child. At first, he felt a little fresh , Later, the snow fell harder and the house became colder and colder. Wrapped up like a cotton ball, he didn't bother to go outside to play, and spent every day around the stove to tease Pan'er.

Seeing that it will be the last day of the end of the year in two days, Shi Yiqing ordered Mo Wu to prepare the holiday things early in the morning, so that Mammy Xu could see it, but somehow made her unhappy all day.

When Shi Yiqing went to ask, Nanny Xu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief, and said after a while, "Miss, I have never begged you for anything in my life, so today I am bold enough to beg Miss. "

"Nurse, what's wrong with you?" Shi Yiqing forced a smile, "You're here to annoy me, aren't you?"

Mother Xu cried and said: "I know that tomorrow is the end of the year, and it is a day for everyone to reunite. If anyone cries today, he is looking for bad luck. But the old slave can't help it, my lady, the old slave Knowing that you are not happy staying in the capital, and you don’t even want to go back to Shi’s house to be angry, you wish to be as far away from there as possible! The old slave has been serving the young lady for at least 20 years. The old servant knows the temperament of the young lady. But miss should also think about Aunt Xiao!"

She sobbed and continued: "Although the third master does not want to see the young lady, and has no affection for Aunt Xiao, but the young lady and the young master are descendants of the Shi family. That is a fact that has been entered into the genealogy and no one can change it! This big During the Chinese New Year, you spend the time outside with Master Qi'er alone, what does it look like?"

Seeing Shi Yiqing's expressionless face, Madam Xu said eagerly: "People in the capital have bad mouths and say bad things, so let's forget about it in the past, do you want them to come and chew on them now? The root of the tongue?"

"Nurse, don't talk about it." Jianliu stepped forward and persuaded in a low voice, "Miss is already suffering enough, but you will always add fuel to the fire and make Miss feel sad!"

Mother Xu sighed with tears all over her face, "I'm old, and I'm not as good as Jianliu who can take care of children, Mo Wu who can manage housework, and Zhuxi who can do things. This girl is also better than me. What I am is just a slave who relies on the old lady to sell the old lady because I stay with the young lady for a few more days. The young lady is smart, and she makes her own decisions about everything, so she won't listen to me. "
