Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 40

Bai Zhi patted her chest in shock, and said in a hoarse voice: "Mom, you are so anxious to find me, but what's the matter with Madam?"

Gao Mama, who was serving by the third lady's side, asked with a gloomy face: "Didn't you agree to come out after dark? Why is it so late? Let me tell you, you went out by our wife's side. Don’t know your identity, you know? I warn you, you’d better not play tricks on me, Mama Gao won’t let you go!”

"Mom, what kind of person am I? I have served Madam for many years, how could I betray Madam Gao and you because of a Fourth Miss?"

Bai Zhi's words made Gao's mother calm down a little. Thinking about her mission, she hurriedly said to Bai Zhi: "If you think about it, you also know that your inaction these days has made Madam very dissatisfied. I think you should know what to do, right?"

Bai Zhi in the darkness was silent for a moment, then nodded firmly and agreed, discussed with Gao Mama what to do, seeing that it was getting late, she hurried back, never seeing Yin Xiu who was following behind her .

Three days later, the Seventh Miss of Dafang couldn't wait to put on her new clothes. On the gorse brocade shirt, there was an auspicious cloud phoenix embroidered on it, which looked more and more proud against the background of the green and blue-gold flickering luster below. , everyone watched her color change when she moved around, knocked on it from a distance, and unexpectedly formed a graceful beauty of five colors at the same time, more beautiful than usual, which made everyone's eyes bright.

Shi Xuanxin led her pug dog to the old lady's yard, and when she saw Miss Seven coming out, her face darkened.

Shi Yiqing, who was sitting on the side, took a sip while holding the teacup. She looked at Shi Xuan's darkened face coldly, and smiled to herself.What Shi Xuanxin is most proud of is her appearance. Being held up in the sky by everyone, she always thinks that she is the most beautiful woman in the world, and stubbornly believes that all beautiful things in this world should belong to her. Hers, even if she doesn't want it, others can't just pick it up.Therefore, when the seventh lady of the big house was wearing the beautiful dress made of silk that was taken away from her, Shi Xuanxin's face was distorted for a moment. Her image of a kind and generous fairy in the past is quite different.

Shi Yiqing knows Shi Xuanxin too well, and she will never make life easier for women who are more beautiful than her in this world.

Gently put down the teacup in her hand, she went straight to the porch, the old lady doesn't like the excitement of people coming and going, on the contrary, she loves keeping animals very much, whether it's the colorful parrot in front of the door, or her doting white Persian cat , are fond of putting it down.

Logically speaking, this cat and parrot cannot be raised together, but this parrot has a long history. It is said that the former emperor came to Shi's house during a private visit in disguise, but he didn't know why the news leaked for no reason, attracting a group of people. The dead men risked to surround Shi's family, but fortunately this parrot came forward to inform the late emperor, and gave Mrs. Shi the status of a first-rank imperial lady, which was enough honor for her.Because of this affection, the old lady regards this parrot as more important than her own life.

If you say that the old lady values ​​the parrot so much, she shouldn't have kept the cat in her arms earlier, but this cat with precious blood has one eye blue and the other green eye, which is very similar to the parrot. I remembered the cat that played with the grandson who died in the early years. The original cat went on hunger strike after the death of the grandson and buried him with him. The old lady was very sad. She was sad for many years. The cub's cat, ecstatically, took it into his arms and held it for half a day.

Fortunately, the girl who served the parrot was very meticulous, she didn't need to do anything other than take care of this parrot that brought Mrs. Shi old honor and favor.

Shi Yiqing walked up to the colorful parrot, looked at the parrot in a boxwood carved wood cage, and watched Shi Yiqing slowly approaching from a distance, not afraid of strangers, just tilted his head to look at her, chirping non-stop.

The girl serving on the side quickly smiled and said: "It seems that Xiao Qi likes Miss Si very much."

Shi Yiqing smiled at her, took a pointed-footed cup to give the parrot some water, and said inducingly, "Miss Seven is so beautiful! Miss Seven is so beautiful!"

The girl looked at Miss Qi of the big house in the distance, nodded and said: "Yes, Miss Qi was originally handsome, but now she is dressed up like this, she looks even more beautiful."

The parrot flapped its wings cleverly and said, "So beautiful! So beautiful! Seventh Miss is so beautiful!"

Shi Yiqing smiled slightly, returned the food cup to the girl, and walked into the room with the curtain lifted.

Shi Xuanxin stood at the door holding the pug dog and hesitated for a while, thinking of the old lady's expression, he didn't dare to take the risk of being scolded, and was about to lead the dog to the maid beside him, when Qi The young lady pushed her up, cast a disdainful glance at the starling on the ground with a wretched face, snorted coldly, and walked in through the curtain.

Because of the relationship between the front and rear feet, Shi Xuanxin was displeased, but he followed Miss Seven to go in, when suddenly there was a rattling sound above his head, followed by a sharp voice: "Miss Seven is so beautiful! Seventh Miss is so beautiful!" The voice was sharp and soft, and in such a silence, it spread in an instant, so clearly audible, Shi Xuanxin was unhappy at first, but now hearing the parrot's cry, he just felt that it was so beautiful. The sound cut her heart like a blunt knife, and the pain made her twist her cheeks involuntarily.

Unexpectedly, that parrot is also a ignorant person, and it just wanted to scream again and again in front of Shi Xuanxin, fluttering its wings, restless up and down, and the starling who was held by Shi Xuanxin suddenly screamed and pulled. Holding the rope, he was about to bite the cage, and Shi Xuanxin almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, several brave and strong mothers pulled the pug away from Chunhui Hall.

The barking of the pug was far away from the yard, but the voice of the parrot was still sharp and immature: "Miss Seven is so beautiful! Miss Seven is so beautiful!"

The girl who was protecting the parrot hurried forward and said threateningly: "Stop arguing, if you keep arguing, the dog will come and eat your tongue!"

The parrot was very psychic, seeing the girl talking like this, it was so frightened that it didn't dare to speak anymore, it squatted on the wood with its wings tucked up, trembling, and whenever there was a sound, it screamed and flapped its wings.

Shi Xuanxin tidied up his face, as if nothing had happened, walked in through the curtain with a calm complexion, greeted the old lady steadily, made fun of everyone, and then retreated to the side.

When paying her respects, the old lady's expression was as usual, as if she didn't know what happened, but Shi Yiqing knew that if she didn't say anything, it didn't mean that the old lady didn't know what happened in the yard just now, and if she didn't reveal it, it didn't mean she didn't care.On the contrary, she cared so much that she remained calm.

After inviting Ann back from the old lady's yard, Shi Yiqing looked at Jianliu: "Did something happen in the yard?"

Jian Liu lowered her eyelashes and said slowly, "Except for Bai Zhi who went to get the tea, no one else has ever gone out." Hesitating for a while, she then added, "I went out for about half an hour and came back."

Shi Yiqing nodded, let Jianliu go down first, and replaced Yinxiu to serve.Na Yinxiu had heard that Shi Yiqing had come back a long time ago, and he was in a state of anxiety when he heard Jianliu let him in to serve him, so he knew it was time for her to make a choice.

Yinxiu bowed his head and frowned and walked to Shi Yiqing's side, helped her change her clothes, and packed everything before she went to the desk to grind ink for her. Seeing that Shi Yiqing didn't ask her, he couldn't hold back his words, so he hesitated , and told Shi Yiqing the truth: "Miss, last night, Bai Zhi went out, and she seemed to meet someone."

Shi Yiqing held a pen with a calm expression: "Do you know who you met?"

Yinxiu hurriedly replied: "It's too late, so I can't see it very clearly, but sneaky, looking at it from a distance, it looks like a woman's description, and her figure is not slender."

Shi Yiqing stopped writing, looked at her with cold eyes, and said in a cold voice: "There are countless women in the mansion who are not slender. I see you in front of me, and I agree with your description. If you don't see clearly what you look like , so don't say what you speculate. Forget it, what else do you know?"

"Slave, I'm a little far away... Slave, I just heard that the man seemed to be threatening to warn her, but what he said later, I really don't know."

Shi Yiqing let out a heavy breath, frowned slightly and looked at the generous but not euphemistic word "forbearance" in the pen. Losing interest, he put the pen aside, looked at Yinxiu who was trembling beside him, and said slowly: "You don't have to." I'm afraid, I'm not blaming you. You did a good job, at least in the last sentence, you didn't fool me, and you didn't tell me what you speculated to mislead my analysis."

She walked to the rose table, held the hot tea that had dried, and said in thought: "Go and see, have Madam Xu and Mo Xian come back, if they come back, tell them and Bai Zhi to come to me, I have something to order .”

Yinxiu stood at the door with his hands down, and hesitantly took a step forward, but he turned and walked in front of Shi Yiqing, leaned over and said, "Miss, if you have any orders, let the maidservant do it, don't let this girl spoil you!" It's your big business."

Shi Yiqing looked at Yinxiu in a little surprise, with a smile in his rare eyes, got up and sat on the matching rose chair, smiled slightly, and said slowly: "You can't, I'm going to sing a song today. How can we not invite the best actress in our yard to present a beautiful drama? Go and call her together, I will be in front of everyone, lest you all say that I am partial to someone. "

In desperation, Yinxiu had no choice but to back out, found Xu Nanny and Jianliu, was a little worried, and wanted to speak to Xu Nanny in advance, but noticed that Bai Zhi was walking quickly, so he stopped talking and led everyone Go in the direction of the main house.

Bai Zhi has always been guarded by shearing, and now she has been targeted by Yin Xiu recently, and she rarely has the opportunity to enter the inner room. Now that she is called suddenly, although she is with everyone, she still feels a drum in her heart. Know what to do.

Originally, she was not afraid of Shi Yiqing. After all, she had served the third wife, Yang Shi, for many years. Relying on the kindness of the third lady, she became a first-class girl, and with the support of the third lady behind her back, even if Shi Yiqing didn't like her, there was nothing she could do about it.However, since the incident that provoked her identity as an evil star last time, every time she saw Shi Yiqing, she felt that her bright black and white eyes became more and more breathtaking, which made her terrified.

Shi Yiqing watched Nanny Xu and Jianliu step into the inner room one after another, shifted his gaze to Bai Zhi who came after him, smiled slightly, and said, "Bai Zhi, from today onwards, help me keep my jewelry and clothes."
