First Class Concubine

Chapter 171

On the second day after Taoist Priest Tianbei came, Qijing and Lechen sent him outside the city together at the dawn of the sun.

He didn't say where he was going or when he would return.Just like, just like Lechen's master back then.He popped up suddenly, gave them some inheritance books, and then left freely.

"Go back!" Daoist Tian Bei couldn't see the back, Le Chen hugged Qi Jing in his arms, and said softly: "If there is fate, we will see you again in the future."

"En." It's just, is there a fate?Although there is no sadness in what the master said, every sentence is like a last word.She really can't give birth to many good expectations.

"If we do well, they will feel at ease." Le Chen probably felt more deeply than she did.From the very beginning, he could see that whether it was the master or the Taoist priest, the time limit was approaching.

His master is not like Taoist priest Tianbei, there are many Taoist priests who have not told Qijing, but his master has nothing to hide.These people pursue a different way from ordinary people.Their lives and deaths have always been counted.When the time comes, there will naturally be a reaction.

When you die, you don't need to be like ordinary people.They have their own home.This place, can't tell, the way is unknown.But when they sensed it, they naturally knew how to go.They don't grieve themselves, and others don't have to grieve for them.

After seeing off Daoist Tianbei, the two returned to the city, and those sad emotions were forgotten by the two of them.

Lechen continued to be busy with his official business. Regarding the construction and management of Xiyi, he still had a meeting to discuss with the people below.

Seeing that he was unable to solve the problem for a long time, Qi Jing continued to talk again because the meeting was going on day by day, but there was no progress.

"The people in your meeting today are all military generals, and they don't understand what you said at all. Letting a group of laymen discuss these things is as ridiculous as asking military generals to take the exam for the number one scholar. Why don't you find those, The patriarchs of the big families who support you, although they have selfish motives, are very experienced in this area... Besides, they have supported you until now, so it's time for them to taste some sweetness."

Le Chen is definitely a smart person, so he immediately drew inferences from one instance.

On the same day, he made a list with only six people on it.Early the next morning, these six people came to him to report.

The seven of them closed the door to resume the meeting, and at night, Qijing saw a rough development plan.Simple management system, appointment of officials, division of power...

And these six people, plus Lechen seven people.Now there is a very famous name called: the cabinet.

Now, Lechen wants to have a meeting, mostly with them.Make those rough things a little bit finer.And Le Chen also notified those families who supported him to divide the forces.

After all, they will be needed for the next construction, and they will contribute money, materials and people!
…………

When Lechen was busy, Qijing went to study the cold jade bed.

Hanyu is very rare in itself, and it is not an exaggeration to say that such a large piece can be used as a bed, it is priceless.Especially this piece of cold jade, which is crystal clear and flawless.

Qijing itself has two abilities of ice and water, and this cold jade bed is of ice attribute, which is of great benefit to her.

It's just that she has no interest in letting her lie on such a bone-chilling jade bed all day long.

When you sleep, you sleep. Naturally, you come as you feel comfortable.No matter what kind of supernatural power she has, the pursuit of warmth is a desire in the bones and soul of human beings.

As for healing?That's something that doesn't exist at all.

"This thing is of no use to my body. If it is for cultivation, it has some effect. So, let's put it in the practice room." Qi Jing immediately made a decision.

"Listen to you." Since it doesn't work for her physical recovery, she can only think of other ways.Thinking of what Taoist priest Tianbei said, he felt that it was good to be useless.Therefore, there is not much regret.

When Qijing is going to practice next, he will use the aura of the cold jade bed to practice.The cultivation of supernatural powers really got twice the result with half the effort, and the improvement of supernatural powers also made her discover that this aura is also beneficial to her body.

It's just been two days.She stopped this absorption again.

The attribute of ice is different from the attribute of water. Water is the source of all things. However, although ice is also formed from water, it is very different from water.Under the effect of ice spirit power, her body has indeed improved.But the ice attribute is overbearing, and it lacks the warming effect of water.

In just two days, she could feel that her blood and spiritual power were tinged with ice-cold air.Even the eyes are less emotional.She even has a sense of the absurd.If things go on like this, she will become an iceman without humanity.

She didn't want to become a goddess of ice and snow, so she decisively stopped the intake of a large amount of ice-type spiritual power and turned to focus on water-based.Then work on converting the ice spiritual power into water...

This decision of hers made Le Chen quietly heave a sigh of relief.

…………

This day, it was another heavy rain.After the rain, the seven sceneries are in front of the window, absorbing the very active water aura between the heaven and the earth.

But suddenly Su Li said lightly: "The osmanthus flowers are blooming in the front yard. I heard that many people have received His Highness's favor to pick osmanthus flowers!"

Qijing's heart moved slightly, Su Li never talked nonsense. "Then go and have a look."

Osmanthus?
Before she moved, her mental power had already flown over.Soon found the sweet-scented osmanthus.

Sure enough, several osmanthus trees were all in bloom.

Under the flower tree, several beautiful girls were holding delicate baskets in their hands, and with their slender hands, they reached into the yellow and green flowers and leaves from time to time to pick a few flowers.Put it into the white jade cup placed in the basket.

The movements are elegant and the scenery is beautiful.Especially one of them, the color is better than others, and the tenderness is also unmatched by others.

It's just that the woman's eyes always turn to the meeting hall from time to time.Full of expectations, then turned to disappointment.Occasionally chat with other people, but also appear arrogant.

Qijing raised his eyebrows, "Which family are those who want to pick flowers?" Qijing asked Su Li as he walked, with a murderous look in his eyes.It's better that the flowers she wants to pick are not hers, otherwise, she will let them know why the flowers are so red.

"Probably the original servants in this mansion, there is only one, the daughter of the original city lord. The city lord was wiped out by His Highness, but his family's female relatives were all detained in Xicui Garden. Recently, with the help of this sweet-scented osmanthus, many Run outside." After a pause, he said again: "Coincidentally, every time His Highness comes and goes, he doesn't go through the main entrance. I have never encountered it, and I don't know about it. Those who walk through the main entrance are disturbed .Because this is a woman's business, I reported it to my subordinates. After all, the master is the mistress of this mansion, and these matters should be handled by the master."

Qijing smiled: "That's right, I should take care of this matter."

Go through the main entrance and go to the backyard where she lives, and you have to go around the boss.Le Chen has always come and gone, but also straight.It is not necessary, and absolutely do not go through the front door.

Qijing smiled: "Alright, I'm also very interested in that sweet-scented osmanthus, so I just went to discuss it with this young lady."

The sweet-scented osmanthus is only a hundred meters away from the meeting hall, surrounded by a small garden made of blue bricks.In a rare loss of dignity, the girls climbed onto the green bricks and stretched out their hands to pull the branches.

Qijing stood in the distance for a while, especially observing the former city lord's daughter.

Beautiful is beautiful, but not to the point where people fall in love at first sight.Of course, those men who have never seen a woman are not included.

After scanning around, he was not interested, and asked Su Li directly: "Who is the manager here, call him over." Turning around, he wanted to go to the meeting hall.

Her mental strength has been swept away a long time ago, and Lechen didn't invite anyone to discuss matters today.Inside, he was the only one with his personal attendant, reading official documents.

Moreover, at this time Le Chen already knew that she was coming, and had asked the boy to prepare her favorite tea, waiting for her to come.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked to the meeting hall, the daughter of the city lord who was picking flowers suddenly let go of the branch in her hand and hit another girl.She ignored it and rushed straight over.

Filled with righteous indignation, he said: "Stop, who are you? Do you know where this is, just dare to rush in, and be careful that I will have your head chopped off."

Qijing was surprised and stopped with great interest.He looked at this little girl who was blushing, confident and proud.Taking time to ask back: "Who are you?"

"I am the hostess here." The girl raised her head high, "This is my home."

Qijing smiled, "Then do you know who I am?"

The girl snorted proudly: "I don't care who you are, this is not where you came from, so leave quickly."

"As expected, the ignorant are fearless." Qi Jing turned her head directly, just in time to see the big housekeeper coming. "Let someone arrange for the original city owner's family to be sent to No. [-] Village. There is no need for special care, and everything will follow our rules."

The girl finally changed her expression: "Uncle Steward, you wouldn't do this, would you? My uncle is the chief steward of the Third Prince's mansion. His daughter is the Third Prince's concubine. If you dare to ask us so much, the Third Prince will not I will let you go. If you want me to say, it is best to drive this woman away. She actually wants to enter the meeting hall and disturb the work of the Fourth Highness. Such a shameless woman, with a vicious look, just looks like she wants to go Seduce the Fourth Highness. This kind of woman is the same as my father's concubines, so she should be thrown directly into the red curtain."

For a moment, the faces of the housekeeper and Su Li changed.Even the face of the guard at the entrance of the meeting hall changed.Qiqi knelt down: "Master, forgive me."

Le Chen was already rushing out furiously, but at the moment when he was about to move, he was stopped by Qijing.If even such a small person wants him to stand out, wouldn't she be too useless.

"Red tent? It seems that you know it very well." Qi Jing didn't even blink: "In that case, then send her, and her family's female relatives, to the red tent. After all, going to a familiar place, It's better than a strange place. Remember, tell her family clearly, this is the result of this young lady's hard-won pleading."

The butler stood up: "Yes. The servant will send her and all her family members there."

"Housekeeper, you are so courageous, you actually listen to this fox... huh huh!" The next words were covered by the butler.Extremely rude and dragged people away.

The remaining girls all came over with pale faces and knelt down in a row.

Qijing frowned and thought about it.Probably because she is too low-key here, so the people in this mansion don't know her yet.

"'Dark, light yellow, soft in nature, and only fragrant in the distance. Why do you need light blue and dark red, it is the first-class flower.' I also like this flower. It’s just that it grows on the branches, why do you want it? Pick it up?"

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, and someone immediately stepped forward: "Go back, go back to this lady. The servants just want to pick sweet-scented osmanthus and make some snacks, so that they can be presented to the master and ask for some rewards."

Qijing smiled, she was quite clever.Sure enough, the one who is more miserable than the Qianjin lady is more able to read eyes and know current affairs.

"Since that's the case, give me sweet-scented osmanthus snacks in a while. If you dissatisfy me, you can go and be with the previous companion."

"Don't dare, the servant must do his best."

Qijing rubbed his head, and glanced at Su Li: "From now on, you don't need to report to me about this kind of person." Then he glanced at the flower pickers: "From now on, as long as you disturb His Highness's work , Those who disturb His Highness and his subordinates will be sent away directly."

He flicked his sleeves and went straight into the meeting room.When she comes, no one will stop her!
