Chapter 225: Precursor (2)

No matter how much the concubine slandered Qi Jiao in her heart, she didn't dare to slack off in terms of etiquette, after all, this was a celebrity in front of the emperor. Although she is already a noble concubine and has nothing to compete for, if she says something in front of the emperor, she will also be sad. So she ordered Xiuyun to hurry out to greet her, and Lian and Shi had already stood up and waited.

It turned out that Qi Jiao's status in the palace was not as good as before, and she was clear about what was going on, and someone reported to Qi Jiao as soon as Lian and Shi entered the door. She has always regarded the Kunigong Mansion and Saitama as a thorn in her side, and always wants to find an opportunity to take revenge. But Saitama always refused to enter the palace, unwilling to get too close to her, and even the emperor acquiesced to such behavior, so she was a little anxious. On this day, I heard that the Duchess of Qi and Saitama's mother-in-law brought the child into the palace, so I wanted to come and see what was going on.

When Lian heard that the concubine was coming, he thought of his son, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and thought that if he hadn't broken the contract at that time, his son would not have gone to the battlefield if he married Qi Jiao, and he would not have died, and he couldn't help sighing. Qi Jiao was surrounded by everyone and walked in, she was dressed very luxuriously today, with a crimson Shu brocade jacket embroidered with peonies embroidered with gold thread on it, and a white satin skirt below. There is a ring bun on the head, a five-phoenix bead hairpin with silk entwined, a pearl ring tied around the neck, and a pair of emerald green jasper rings tied around the waist, which jingle between walking.

"Why is the concubine free today, come to me for a walk. The concubine said.

"I thought that I had little contact with my mother all the time, but now I just happened to be free, so I thought about talking to my mother. I didn't expect Niangniang to have a guest here, but it's really unfortunate. Qi Jiao said with a smile.

"What's the misfortune, the concubine can come to me, it's really unbelievable. The concubine said jokingly, in fact, she didn't want to touch Qijiao at all, lest the queen know that it was not beautiful. Although the queen is now at a disadvantage, the battle in the harem has always been thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, who can say for sure?

"Meet the concubine. Lian and Shi saluted Qi Jiao.

"Two ladies, please get up quickly. How can I afford it?" Qi Jiao deliberately pretended not to dare to stand it, but she didn't order anyone to help her up, so she still accepted Lian's salute.

"Madame, is this always good?" Qi Jiao asked Lian with concern.

"Thank you Niangniang for your concern, everything is fine with the concubine. ”

"Brother Shi's business. I also heard about it, it's really a pity, I also persuaded the emperor, but it's also soft-spoken......" Qi Jiao deliberately mentioned Li Duan, and sure enough, Lian's face became unpleasant.

"Thank you, mother. Lian said reluctantly. Qi Jiao smiled secretly in her heart, looking at Lian's sad appearance, she felt happy. Suddenly she saw the baby beside her,

"Whose child is this?"

"This is my nephew, and I have to call my aunt when it comes to it. The concubine said.

"So this is my sister's child, I haven't seen it yet. Saying that, Qi Jiao walked to the side of the nurse.

"Let me see my little nephew. "As he spoke, he was going to hug Brother Tong. Shi was afraid that something was wrong, so he said:

"The concubine Niangniang's phoenix body is precious, I'm afraid I can't hold it. ”

"Second Mrs. Li, don't worry, I still have this little strength, and I have children myself. Qi Jiao said and glanced at Shi. So that Shi did not dare to speak again.

The nurse had no choice but to hand over the child to the female officer beside Qi Jiao, and Qi Jiao took the child from the female official's hands, and sure enough, her hand sank. This child is a few months younger than his own, but he is much heavier. She lowered her head to look at the child again, and she was even more indignant. Her child was so weak that he had to take medicine since he knew how to feed, and he didn't even have the strength to cry. Originally, the emperor still had high hopes for this child, and sent people everywhere to look for famous doctors to nourish the child, and all kinds of rare things did not know how much to eat, but there was no improvement. Even the emperor's heart gradually faded. Qi Jiao was secretly anxious and had no choice, but fortunately, there were no other princes in the palace.

But Qi Jiao looked at the child in her hand, with thick black hair and a white and red face. The fleshy little hands and a pair of sparkling black eyes show people everywhere what a healthy and lovely child this is. Looking at the similarity between the child's eyebrows and Saitama, Qi Jiao felt that she wanted to strangle the child directly, why couldn't she compare to Saitama in anything? She resisted this impulse, and forced a smile on her face. Xiang Shi said:

"What a lovely child, you can't tell who it looks like?"

"I see that this is a child who will grow up, and he has taken the advantages of his father. The concubine said with a smile, her eyes full of love.

"Well, that's true. Qi Jiao's mood has returned to calm, the experience in the palace in the past few years has not come in vain, she promised to hand over the child to the nurse, but there is a new plan in her heart.

"Duchess Guo, why didn't my sister come? I haven't seen her for a long time, and I still miss her. Qi Jiao asked.

"Back to Niangniang, because Duan'er's daughter Sister Lian went to the nunnery to pray for her father, Sister Ling went to visit, so she didn't come together. Lian said.

"Yes, it's amazing that the daughter of the world brother is so careful, the emperor must be Longyan Dayue when he knows it. ”

As soon as Lian heard Qi Jiao's words, his heart became alive again, if Qi Jiao spoke for Duan'er in front of the emperor, wouldn't it be more effective than the noble concubine, so he became closer to Qi Jiao at the moment. The concubine saw it in her eyes, and she looked down on her sister-in-law's behavior, but she only smiled slightly, and ordered someone to serve tea and snacks. Shi found out from Qi Jiao's words that her relationship with Saitama was not as good as he imagined, so he also had a close mind. A few people chatted very harmoniously, but each had their own thoughts.

Lian and Shi didn't dare to bother for too long, and after staying for a while, they took their leave. When leaving, Qi Jiao repeatedly told him to enter the palace more in the future, and said that he liked Brother Tong very much, and he must take him into the palace more in the future, so that he could be closer to the eldest prince, and the Lian family and the Shi family naturally agreed.

Besides, Saitama rushed home in a hurry along the way, but was told by Qiushuang and others that Shi had brought Tongge'er into the palace and locked Liang'er up, Saitama felt weak all over her when she heard the news, but fortunately, Qiushuang and Chunying supported her by the side.

"**Milk, don't worry, drink saliva first!" Qiushuang and Chunying helped Saitama to lie down on the bed, and took a glass of water handed over by Que'er.

"Go, go and bring Liang'er over, I'm going to ask her. Saitama gasped.

The maids didn't dare to delay, and hurried to pass on Liang'er. (To be continued.) )
