56. Chapter 56

However, a few days passed, and Feng Xiao did not take Zhou Qingqing to see his younger brother Zhou Xun. Northern Zhao has just moved the capital, and the emperor has just passed away, and Feng Xiao, as the superintendent of the king, is busy with official business.

Zhou Qingqing had only seen him a few times, coming and going in a hurry, resolutely, with a decisive appearance, and the Feng Xiao she knew was like two people.

But she knew that this was Feng Xiao's true face, or this was Luo Nianzhi she didn't know.

Although Zhou Qingqing is free to move in the house, she is actually under house arrest, and her every move is monitored by subordinates.

It wasn't until half a month later that Feng Xiao, who returned home in the evening, suddenly came to her and said, "Qingqing, mother asked me to take you to the palace to have dinner together in the evening, you prepare, and we will leave." ”

The so-called preparation is a new set of clothes he gave her. Due to the cold of the Northland, this new dress is a velvet collar cardigan brocade jacket, paired with a lake blue Qiluo skirt, which is beautiful, generous and warm. When she went out, Feng Xiao also took a cloak and put it on her.

If you don't know what he's done, this man can still give people the most ordinary warmth.

This is the second time Zhou Qingqing has seen Queen Luo, she is still dressed gracefully and luxuriously, but she does not have the slightest queen frame, and she can't tell that she is a female woman who has personally conquered.

Zhou Qingqing didn't salute, she didn't care, just like an ordinary elder, she greeted the two with a faint smile: "Nian Zhiqingqing, you sit down quickly, the food will come up immediately." ”

The three of them sat around the table, but it was just an ordinary round table, as if in an ordinary house.

The dishes are all ordinary Southern Zhou home-cooked dishes, and there are several flavors in Shuzhong and Jinling.

Queen Luo smiled and said: "Qingqing just treat this place as her own home, and you don't have to be restrained." ”

Zhou Qingqing smiled unnaturally with chopsticks, although the delicacy was in the front, she tasted the same as chewing wax, and a dinner that looked like an ordinary dinner was a Hongmen banquet in her opinion. The mother and son seem to be a model of mother and son filial piety, not much to talk about, but the atmosphere is harmonious. It's just that Zhou Qingqing knows that these two people are deep-minded, and they are not harmless to humans and animals as they seem on the surface.

Feng Xiao saw that Zhou Qingqing rarely moved his chopsticks, so he put some vegetables in his bowl from time to time. Seeing this, Queen Luo only pursed her lips and smiled.

After eating, Zhou Qingqing said: "Queen Luo, I want to go around this palace to eliminate food, I don't know if the queen minds?" ”

She didn't eat much, but she just didn't feel comfortable in her stomach.

Queen Luo smiled and waved her hand to call the maid: "Take the Qingqing girl to the palace for a walk." ”

Zhou Qingqing didn't want her to be so generous, thanked her with her chin, and followed the maid out of the door.

Outside, as if she had endured it for a long time, she walked to a tree and retched a few times with her hands.

Seeing this, the maid asked, "Miss Zhou, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zhou Qingqing waved his hand: "It's okay, I just ate a little too much, and I was a little panicked." ”

She took a few deep breaths, suppressed the bad habit in her chest, and followed the maid in a small circle.

This palace was renovated by the palace of Zhou Li, the king of Yan, and it was not as good as the palace of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and it was even worse than that of the Western Qin. Zhou Qingqing was not interested in shopping for a while, so he walked to the queen's palace by himself.

She remembered the way back, and walked very fast, followed by two little maids a few steps behind. When they arrived outside the hospital, the two maids had been thrown off by her for a short time.

She was about to step inside, when she heard the voices of two people talking inside.

Queen Luo said: "Your adoptive father inherited the throne from the unfavored concubine, and then unified the sixteen kingdoms of Yanbei and became the emperor of Northern Zhao, all because of the efforts of our mother and son over the years. You have been smart since you were a child, and before you were ten years old, you helped your adoptive father lead troops to fight, and at the age of twelve, you asked Ying to go to Western Qin to be a manu. I know that in the past ten years, you have suffered a lot in Xiqin, just the meridians are damaged, the martial arts are exhausted, and you are very capable of practicing from scratch. The reason why you have endured these pains is because you have always remembered that our mother and son have been lying on the salary for eighteen years, that is, to avenge your father, to avenge thousands of people, and to revive our Luo clan. ”

Feng Xiao said: "Children always remember. Now that Northern Zhao is strong enough, Southern Zhou is already in the bag, and although Western Qin is powerful, I have spent ten years understanding them just to trample the powerful Western Qin under my feet. ”

Queen Luo said: "It's good that you remember your mission, my mother is now getting old, and her energy is not as good as before, and these things will depend on you in the future." Don't let me down, and don't let down your father. ”

Feng Xiao said: "The child doesn't dare. ”

Queen Luo said again: "Zhou Hao's daughter is a good girl, I can see your mind if you don't say it, but you must remember not to make a mistake because of women." At the beginning, on the road of Qin Zhou and his relatives, because she was Zhou Hao's daughter, Yi Nianzhiren saved her, but killed your righteous uncle. And I know that you have been hesitant in the subsequent assassinations, including that she was stabbed to death by Xi Qin and you took the risk to rescue her, not because she was the daughter of our mother and son's life-saving benefactor, but because you had a heart for her. She paused, "It's okay for men and women to love each other, but don't delay our big things because of her." If you encounter another dilemma, you must make up your mind. Although she is the daughter of a benefactor, I am happy to see how good you are to her when we do not hinder us. But if it'......"

Before she finished speaking, Feng Xiao had already interrupted: "The child understands." ”

Zhou Qingqing pursed her lips, and when she heard the maid behind her catching up, she pretended to go in quickly.

Empress Luo looked over and said with a smile: "Qingqing, how is our palace in Beizhao in your eyes?" ”

Zhou Qingqing smiled secretly, this Queen Luo is really a smiling tiger, just mentioned her, and in a ruthless tone, she turned her face and became a kind and amiable elder again.

She also smiled: "I heard that Yanwang Zhou Li's taste has always been poor, if this is the case, it seems that you Beizhao will have to spend some effort to transform it." ”

Queen Luo nodded: "The capital was moved in a hurry, and these are all complicated and trivial, and it will take a long time to come." ”

The corners of Zhou Qingqing's lips pursed, and she looked at her with a puzzled expression, but did not speak.

Feng Xiao stood up from the stone bench and arched her hand towards Queen Luo: "Mother, it's getting late, Qingqing and I will go back to the house first, and you can rest early." ”

Queen Luo smiled and waved her hand: "Let's go, let's go, I'm tired too." ”

The two of them left the palace together, and when they got to the carriage, the disgusting taste in Zhou Qingqing's stomach came up again, especially when the carriage was bumpy, the feeling was even stronger. She has been suffering from a poor appetite for the past two days, but she is under house arrest in a strange place, and she is depressed, but now it seems that this is not the case.

She secretly pinched her fingers and counted the days of her menstruation, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. The hand is involuntarily placed on the lower abdomen.

Feng Xiao, who was in the dark, saw that she was half silent, and said, "I see that when you just ate, you seemed to be a little uncomfortable, what's wrong?" ”

Zhou Qingqing hurriedly shook his head: "No, no!" After saying that, he remembered something and said as if he didn't have a good air, "How much appetite can you have if you try to be placed under house arrest?" ”

Feng Xiao chuckled lowly, with a little obvious gentleness: "You were in the heavenly prison before, and I see that you have a good appetite." ”

Zhou Qingqing was a little speechless, only stalked his neck, and said with some anger: "Heavenly prison is better than being under house arrest." ”
