Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 269 True and False Murong Man (2)

The maids looked at each other, Mo Wu saw that all the maids looked at him, so he could only smile bitterly and stepped forward, saying, "Miss, I'm afraid we won't sleep today, and there will be no one to serve you tomorrow."

Shi Yiqing thought for a while, and felt that keeping everyone awake might not make it through the middle of the night: "Forget it, you girls will keep watch if you want to, and sleep if you want to. Punishment. Mo Wu, Zhu Xi, He Mu He Lu, the four of you will divide into twos and stay with me from the first half of the night to the second half of the night. I will not be allowed to sleep. If I fall asleep, you will be fined one year's salary."

Mother Xu persuaded: "Miss, this year's night watch is just for fun, and few people insist on watching until dawn. You are weak, so why bother yourself?"

Shi Yiqing made up his mind, and said, "Don't worry, mother, I have my own opinion. Alright, let's all go down and get ready."

In the new year, amidst the sound of firecrackers, the mysterious veil was slowly unveiled. Shi Yiqing rarely put on a festive red cotton dress, took the red envelopes from Mo Wu, and handed them out to the girls one by one. The mothers and children who cleaned up all received it, and the whole Yangliu Courtyard was full of joy.

Qi'er was wrapped into a fat man, and happily ran all the way back from the nunnery, and went straight to Shi Yiqing: "Sister, sister, sister! Grandma gave me ten taels of silver and told you to put it away for me. Use it to marry a daughter-in-law!"

Shi Yiqing took the money with a smile, scratched his nose and teased, "Okay, keep it for you to marry a wife later! Little baby, I know how to marry a wife all day long, and I don't know who I learned it from."

The Shi family hadn't been together for the New Year a few years ago. Although they haven't separated yet, it's almost time to do so now.

Seeing the hilarious Qi'er running rampant in the room, doing enough things that he didn't dare to do in the past, I let him go, after all, if he makes a fuss, this quiet room will be filled Sunny spirit.

After saying auspicious words and eating supper, it was late at night, and Shi Yiqing couldn't bear it anymore, pouring strong tea into his stomach, one bowl after another, making Zhu Xi very worried.

"Miss, don't drink, if you are tired, go to sleep."

She didn't know that Shi Yiqing's suffering was because she couldn't sleep, so she had to drink bowl after bowl.

Sitting on the edge of the bed waiting for the sunrise, Shi Yiqing leaned on his chin and stared at the whitening sky in a daze. The two girls, Zhuxi and Helu, who were supposed to accompany her to watch the second half of the night, had already fallen asleep in front of the table.

Seeing that they were sound asleep, Shi Yiqing didn't go to wake them up. He just put on a cloak and went out of the room. Seeing that the courtyard door was open, he wanted to go out for a walk.The mother at the door couldn't help being startled when she saw her, and it took a while to remember the rules, she bowed her head and waited by the door, and sent Shi Yiqing out.

Seeing the mother's expression, Shi Yiqing smiled wryly and raised her hand to touch her face. Although she didn't have a bronze mirror to look at, she could imagine what she looked like now.

Follow the path to the yard where Aunt Xiao lived. As Shi Yiqing expected, it has long been deserted. The cleaned yard in my memory has disappeared, leaving only endless loneliness and sadness.

Shi Yiqing burst into tears when he was touched by the scene, wiped it clean with a handkerchief, and didn't want to stay here any longer, so he retreated, carefully closed the door, and stood under a plum tree in a daze.

"Miss is easy to find for servants."

Shi Yiqing looked at He Mu who was walking quickly, and said with a smile: "But when you wake up, you see that I'm not here, are you in a hurry?"

He Mu pouted and said, "Miss is still as self-willed as before, if the mother at the door hadn't told me, I'm afraid even the nuns would not have guessed that Miss is here."

Following He Mu's line of sight and looking at the yard behind him, Shi Yiqing's smile faded a bit.

"It's cold here and the road is slippery. This servant helped the young lady back." Seeing that Shi Yiqing was hurt, He Mu intentionally advised her to go back and rest, and helped her to the direction of Yangliuyuan.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Mo Wu came out to greet him, and said anxiously: "Miss, you are back. Just now the Da Furen sent someone over to talk, saying that the emperor will hold a banquet in the palace tonight, calling the princes and princesses, and Several important ministers are going to go. Miss is on the list and will enter the palace with the Eldest Master and Eldest Madam."

He Mu was taken aback, and said in a panic, "But miss, she didn't sleep last night, how can she see people like this?"

"There is still a few hours before entering the palace. Miss, first change her clothes and wash her face, and sleep for a while in the car. It's okay if you think about it."

Seeing that the girls under his command were more nervous than the other, Shi Yiqing couldn't help laughing and told them what she was thinking.Relying on Shi Yiqing's love, the youngest Xing'er pouted and replied: "This is Miss, if it was someone else, I would be so nervous that I don't know what to do, how could I think of this."

Seeing that Shi Yiqing was speechless, Mo Wu covered the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "This is what Xing'er dares to say, if the servants are replaced, the lady will turn her face?"

Shi Yiqing let the maids make jokes, went to the big room with a smile, met the big lady, was held by the big lady and told her, then she saw that she looked bad, and asked with concern: "What happened yesterday?" Staying up late at night? Why is your face so haggard? If someone else sees it, they will think that our family has bullied you."

"What my aunt said is that Qing'er shouldn't have done it, and the family's reputation has been exhausted."

Mrs. Shi saw that Shi Yiqing was obedient and obedient, she couldn't help being startled, she said with a dazed smile: "When you came back from the outside, you still looked so proud at such a young age. "

Following the eldest lady, Shi Yiqing lamented the past, and heard that the ladies of several families had gone out, so she followed the eldest lady and boarded the carriage to the palace.

Seeing that Shi Yiqing's expression became paler, the eldest lady frowned and said: "The road is crowded, and you have to wait even if you arrive at the gate of the palace. You should rest in the carriage for a while, and I will naturally call you when you arrive."

The ginseng soup that he drank earlier had expired, Shi Yiqing said no need, but his body became more and more sleepy, and he still fell into sleep after all.

What Shi Yiqing didn't expect was that this sleep was a good sleep, no dream came in, and Murong Man's shadow didn't come in.When the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, when Mo Wu who came to wait on her helped her out of the carriage, the sun shone through the veil, and she felt refreshed, even Mo Wu said that her complexion was much better.

At this time, Shi Yiqing felt a little regretful, he had let down last night.
