Qi Zheng returned to Fu Mansion and walked into the front hall, where Fu Renxian and Qin were waiting for Qi Zheng to come back in the hall. Seeing Qizheng, Qishu, who was standing on the side, hurriedly greeted him. "Fifth sister, you're tired, rest and rest, come here, bring the ginseng soup." Qishu pulled Qizheng and walked to the hall and sat down.

Qizheng looked at her father and mother and nodded slightly. The subordinate brought ginseng soup, and Qi Zheng drank two sips, and then ordered to withdraw.

Qishu looked at Qizheng without saying a word, and said with a smile: "Mother, since the fifth sister is back, let's go to the garden and sit."

Fu Renxian turned his head, looked at the silent Qin clan, and said lightly: "Go ahead." ”

Qin nodded: "It's okay." ”

Qishu stepped forward to help the Qin family, and Qizheng led Yun'er to follow behind.

Walking out of the front hall, through the cloister, and walking to the garden, Qishu looked up and saw the pavilion on the rockery: "Let's go sit there." ”

The group walked to the pavilion and sat down, and the maids served tea and retreated to the side to serve. Qi Zheng recalls that a month ago, she sat here alone, and the peach tree. Looking back, the tree was still there, but the wind was blowing, the branches were swaying, and the fallen flowers were flying. Qi Zheng shook his head and sighed lightly: "Unfortunately, the spring days are short, and the wind is shaking and the flowers are falling." ”

"Fifth sister, you are now a righteous and beautiful girl, you have to learn the rules of the palace at home these days, although you will learn it in the Chuhui Palace in the future, but you learn it now, and when you enter the palace, it also seems that our Fu family has etiquette." Qishu picked up the teacup, looked at Qizheng and said, let's go, open the tea lid, and take a sip. Qi Zheng answered and did not speak again.

Steward Li hurriedly ran over and stood at the foot of the rockery: "Madam, the wife and daughter of Lord Wailang Xia, a member of the military department, have come to visit Madame." ”

Qin Shi also had some doubts, and said: "Ah Qi has just entered the military department, and she is working under her husband Xia Mingxu, she has been here twice on weekdays, for Qi'er's sake, I also dealt with it hastily, today, she brought her daughter too, please." The butler was busy passing the word.

Qi Zheng is also full of curiosity, there are very few people who come to visit the Qin family on weekdays, and there are also a few very familiar Mrs. Xu, and most of the others feel that the Fu family can climb high by themselves, so they avoid it from afar.

Waited for a moment. "Oh, the Fu family is really a big family, and even a garden has to go for a long time, and my sister has been waiting for a long time." A clear woman's voice came.

Qi Zheng frowned, only to feel that this person didn't know the etiquette, looking sideways, a woman, followed by a young woman, the same age as Qi Zheng, under the leadership of the housekeeper towards the rockery, but, Qi Zheng looked at that Miss Xia, 'She is a little familiar, as if she has seen it somewhere'.

Qi Zheng got up and stood beside Qin.

Mrs. Xia boarded the pavilion, the housekeeper left, Mrs. Xia stood in front of the table, her daughter followed behind, Qizheng raised her eyes, the daughter of the Xia family, turned out to be the show girl who tried to frame Wenyue, although Qizheng was angry, but she didn't dare to say much on this occasion.

Xia glanced back at his daughter and said with a smile: "I haven't come to visit my sister for a long time, it's good recently, the little girl has been drafted recently, and the family is very busy. ”

Luan Xi also recognized Qi Zheng, his face was slightly red, he smiled lightly at Qi Zheng, seemed to be a little embarrassed, calmed his head, did not look at Qi Zheng again, and asked Qin Shi for peace.

Qin Shi took a sip of the teacup, tilted his head, and did not raise his eyes, "Qizheng, Qishu." ”

Qi Zheng bowed slightly. Mrs. Xia was pleasantly surprised: "Qishu is Prince Yu's princess." "Anyway, prepare to be blessed.

Qishu got up and hugged Mrs. Xia, who was about to salute, and said with a smile: "Madame is such a big gift, how can Qishu bear it, Madame is Qishu's elder, how can there be a reason to ask us for peace." ”

Luan Xi understood the meaning of Qishu's words, and bowed and said, "The princess is fine, Sister Qizheng is good." ”

Qishu nodded: "Madame, sit down." ”

Mrs. Xia just sat down, and as soon as she sat down, she said with a smile: "Sister doesn't know, Luan Xi is the pearl of our master's palm, and now that she is participating in the draft, she has passed the primary election, and she will enter the palace in the future, and she will definitely be favored by the emperor." As soon as Mrs. Xia said this, Luan Xi blushed unusually and pulled Mrs. Laxia's sleeve.

Mrs. Xia didn't understand what her daughter meant, but covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Look, she's shy, okay, okay, I won't say it, my sister also knows." ”

Luan Xi was even more embarrassed and lowered his head.

Qi Zheng didn't speak, but from Mrs. Xia's words, it was not difficult to hear her intentions.

Qishu looked at Luan's shy expression, took out a silk scarf from her sleeve to cover her mouth and smiled, and said: "Mrs. Xia is embarrassed to say this, Luan Xi's sister, Luan Xi's sister, when she enters the palace in the future, she has to take care of each other with our family Qizheng." ”

Mrs. Xia also smiled at first, and then heard something from the words, and was shocked: "Qi...... Miss Qizheng is also a show girl this year. ”

"Exactly, didn't this just participate in the primary election this morning?" Qin said.

Mrs. Xia was speechless for a while, and then said: "My second daughter Luan Yi is very similar to her sister, and now the people who come to propose marriage have broken the threshold, but the master refuses to agree to anything, and says that he wants to find a talent like Young Master Fu Qi, and only talented people are willing to marry his daughter." ”

The Qin clan just smiled and did not speak, and the Xia clan said some flattering words before leaving with a pity.

Qizheng shook her head and said, "Mrs. Xia's mind is not bad, but it's a pity that her words are not at the right time. ”

Qishu looked at Qizheng: "Sister knows the purpose of her coming today?" ”

"It's for me." Qin's Dao.

Qizheng saw that Qishu was puzzled, and continued: "She brought her daughter today, just to tell her mother that her daughter will be the imperial concubine in the future, and she wants to make a friendship with the Fu family, one is to let her daughter have a backer, and the other is to hope that her father will help Xia Mingxu more, and she also wants to marry Xia Luanyi into the Fu family." ”

"And how did she know we'd do it?" Qishu asked.

Qin's eyes stared at the table, and he smiled slightly: "She thinks that the Fu family also needs her own people in the palace, and we hope that Xia Mingxu will promote Ah Qi more, but she doesn't know, Zheng'er is also a show girl, and the purpose of coming today is in vain, as for Ah Qi's marriage cannot be compared with it, Xia Luanyi is indeed worth considering." ”

"I see, but the fifth sister can see through other people's minds, which is extremely beneficial to you." Qishu smiled.

"It's just that I don't understand, my sister knows what Xia Luan did this morning, why should she be so polite to her." Qi Zheng asked.

Qin Shi turned his eyes to look at Qishu: "What did Luan Xi do?" ”

Qishu had already guessed that Qizheng would ask like this, and replied: "Because I appreciate her, in the palace, she can strike first, eradicate dissidents, have the courage and resourcefulness, which you can't do, fifth sister." ”

"I can't do anything harmful, mother, as soon as I arrived at the Internal Affairs Office today, I saw a good show performed by Xia Luanxi, first staining other people's clothes, and then giving others a white coat to change into, isn't this going to kill people."

"Is there such a thing?" Qin was a little surprised.

"Well, however, that show girl must be fine, the matter has passed, so there is no need to mention it again, after all, Ah Qi is still working under her father." Qishu said lightly.

Qizheng listened to Qishu's words, but did not put the matter in her heart, talked to her mother and sister about some common things, and went back to the room to rest.

In the past few days, Qizheng has been learning the etiquette of the palace, from greeting to words.

On the third day, in the morning, tomorrow is the day when Qi Zheng enters the palace, and tonight the Fu family set up a family banquet, and the whole house is dressed in red and hung colors, and it is a grand response.

Qi Zheng got up early, after a freshening up, she withdrew all the waiting rings, sat alone at the desk, picked up the piano score that had been written, walked to the piano, sat down, picked the strings with her fingers, and the tactful music came out, winding around the beam.

"Fifth sister, get up so early." Qishu entered the room and said with a smile.

Qizheng stopped stroking the piano and turned her head to look at Qishu: "Why is my sister here?" ”

"I'm attracted by the sound of your piano, what kind of tune was I playing just now, it's very pleasant, why have I never heard you play."

Qi Zheng turned his eyes to look at the piano score again: "I played it out of idle and boring, and it is called "Hua Kite""

Qishu smiled again: "You will be the imperial concubine soon, why envy the mandarin ducks." ”

Qizheng shook her head and said lightly: "My sister must have heard that only mandarin ducks are not envious of immortals." ”

Qishu said helplessly: "I can't say you, I'll go to see if my father and mother are up, you continue to play." ”

Qizheng nodded, and Qishu turned around and left.

From early morning to dusk, the sound of the piano is intermittent, perhaps only when the Qi Zheng picks the strings, can you forget the sadness of leaving home and step into the helplessness of **.

"Miss, dinner is ready, the master called Miss over." Yun'er came in and said.

Qizheng answered and took Yun'er over.

The dinner was set on the platform near the water, surrounded by water on three sides, and several red lanterns hung on the top of the pavilion, illuminating the platform and reflecting in the rippling water, which looked particularly festive.

Qizheng walked into the Xuantai, Qishu pulled her to sit beside her, and when she saw that everyone had arrived, Qishu smiled and said: "The fifth sister has entered the palace, and in the future, if you want to sit together as a family and have a meal like today, I'm afraid it will be difficult." ”

Fu Renxian said: "Zheng'er, wait for dinner, you come to the study, my father has something to explain to you, okay, let's have a banquet." ”

"Yes." Qizheng nodded in reply.

After the maids finished serving the dishes, they stood aside and waited.

Suddenly, a family member came to pass the word and whispered a few words to Fu Renxian, Fu Renxian glanced at Li, Li lowered his head, and Fu Renxian said lightly: "Call her in." So he ran to deliver the news. Others wondered who was coming.

When Li heard this, he raised his head in anticipation. Qin, who was sitting on the side, seemed to have guessed, but he just picked up the teacup, carried the tea lid in one hand, and blew the tea in the cup.

After a while, a woman stood outside the platform, her head bowed, she did not speak, but stood quietly, with a wooden hairpin on her head, wearing a simple blue skirt, with a white face, and dark gray cloth shoes under her feet.

"Yo, I'm still guessing who came, it turns out that it's really our Fu family's honored guest." Qishu said.

The inside of the platform suddenly became silent......
