Qizheng looked at the Qin family who had no expression, and then turned his eyes to look at the Li family, who bowed his head and was silent, got up and walked to the woman's side, took her hand, smiled slightly, and said: "It turned out to be Sister Qiqin, my sister can go home, my sister is very happy, go in and sit down for a meal." With that, Qizheng bowed his head lightly and motioned for Qiqin to enter.

Qiqin calmly walked two steps into the Xuantai, stood in front of the table, no longer moved forward, and stood there silently.

Qishu pulled Qizheng and said, "Zheng'er, sit down, she is not a child, she knows if she has the face to sit here." As he spoke, he glanced at Qiqin.

"The concubine expected that today was a family banquet, so there should be a lot of family, a few days ago I asked someone to write a letter to Qin'er, saying that I have been unwell recently, let ...... Let her come back to see me today, I will have Qin'er a child left, and I hope that the old lady can understand the concubine's body and heart. Li suddenly spoke.

The Qin family was a little touched, thinking that he was about to separate from his daughter, why didn't he want his daughter to come back and see. Qin Shi looked at Fu Renxian and said, "Since the child is back, I don't want to do those things, tomorrow Zheng'er will enter the palace, and the family will have a good meal, just treat Qiqin as if she is here to send her sister." ”

"Since you're here, sit down." Fu Renxian said lightly. Qishu glanced at Qiqin, looked sideways at the people waiting on the side, and called: "Why don't you add a seat to the third lady of our family, can't you also treat her as a civilian." ”

Hearing this, Qiqin's face turned red, and the next person added a stool next to Li's side, and Qizheng looked at Qiqin: "Sister, sit down." ”

Qiqin Fang just walked to Li's side and sat down, glanced around, and whispered, "Why don't you see big brother." ”

"Ah Qi is going to serve in the Ministry of War, maybe there are many things today, and he will come back later." Lee's Road.

"The eldest brother went to the military department for the Fu family, and the fifth sister entered the palace tomorrow for the Fu family, do you think everyone is like you, ignoring the honor and disgrace of the family." Qishu scoffed.

Qin Shi looked at Qishu, frowned and said: "Qishu, my sister is back, don't mention those things again, you are the princess, you are already a relative of the emperor, you should know what to say on what occasions." ”

Qishu nodded and replied: "Yes, my daughter knows, although my daughter is a princess, she is always the daughter of the Fu family, and my mother's words must be kept in mind." ”

"Alright, let's eat." Qin's Dao. Li put the dishes in the Qiqin bowl: "Eat, my mother knows that you have a hard time on weekdays, so when you get home, you will have a good meal." ”

Qiqin looked at Li with tears in her eyes and nodded in response.

"Young Master." Hearing the voice of the subordinate, everyone looked up.

Fu Qi walked into the Xuantai and saw Qiqin sitting next to Li: "Why is the third sister here?" Then he sat down.

Qiqin got up and owed: "Big brother." "Sit down, and replied," I heard that the fifth sister will enter the palace tomorrow, so I will come back to see the fifth sister, and take a look at my father and Mrs. ”

Fu Qi nodded and did not speak. "Ah Qi, Qishu is already the princess, Qiqin is also married, Qizheng will enter the palace tomorrow, it's time to set a family affair for you." Qin looked at Fu Qi and said.

Fu Renxian immediately said: "Your mother's words are very true, now that you have entered the court as an official, you should ask for family affairs, can you have such a good match?" ”

Qin thought for a while: "A few days ago, Xia Mingxu's wife came to the door, as if she intended to promote her little daughter Xia Luanyi and Ah Qi, which is also very beneficial to Qi'er's future. ”

"Father, mother, can you let the child choose by himself, if the person who accompanies him for a lifetime is not his love, it is a big pity to benefit himself." Fu Qi said busily.

"The matter of marriage has been the order of the parents since ancient times, and the words of the matchmaker ......"

"Mother, you just rely on your brother, if your brother is unhappy, your mother is also worried, isn't it, and what kind of person Mrs. Xia is, Mother understands in her heart whether her daughter will be so ignorant in the future, but her daughter and Xia Luan will never become allies, so it doesn't matter if the Xia family doesn't pay it." Qi Zheng interrupted Qin's words.

Fu Renxian nodded and said: "Since Zheng'er said so, then forget it, but Qi'er, the person you pick will only respond to your father." ”

"Yes." Fu Qi said.

Qi Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, "I originally thought that my mother didn't put this matter at ease, but my mother really considered Xia Luanyi, if Xia Luanyi married the eldest brother, the Fu family would justifiably become Xia Luanyi's backer, wouldn't she have to do whatever she wanted?"

After the banquet, Qizheng followed Fu Renxian to the study.

Closing the door, Fu Renxian said: "Zheng'er, although my father was an official in the previous dynasty, I also know a little about the things in the palace, the emperor has been on the throne for six years, and there are few heirs, and the biological mother of the emperor's eldest son Ling Yu Yin is a mother who jumped from a concubine to a concubine by virtue of her son, of course, this is inseparable from the emperor's favor, Yin's father was originally a county order, and now he has become a governor. Zheng'er, Dad told you these not to ask you to compete for favor, the Fu family's status is enough now, and sending you into the palace is also a helpless move, Dad just wants you to understand that anyone who is favored by the emperor has a power that cannot be underestimated, officialdom is like this, and the palace is also like this, you have to know how to respect and stay away. ”

Qizheng nodded, and said, "Yes, my daughter knows." ”

"Chen Yi and I have always been at odds, and he has won the trust of the emperor, I heard that her daughter is also this show girl, in the future in the palace, you have to pay attention everywhere, in case she harms you, you have to cultivate henchmen after entering the palace, if there is something, send someone to tell your father after the early dynasty is dispersed, and your father will definitely protect you." Fu Renxian said.

"Yes, my daughter knows, Chen Yi's daughter is called Chen Xiying, I have already met it during the primary election, she doesn't seem to be hostile to me, but I can see that she is very thoughtful, and my daughter will be careful."

Qi Zheng thought for a moment and asked, "Dad said that the emperor trusts Chen Yi, and Chen Yi and Dad don't get along, so wouldn't the emperor be ......." ”

Fu Renxian walked to the window: "In officialdom, whoever knows how to flatter will be able to rise to the top." ”

"The daughter knows that her father will not, so the emperor will alienate her father in comparison, and her father is an honest official, so my grandfather appreciates my father, and after my daughter enters the palace, she will make suggestions to the emperor and listen to more advice." Qi Zheng stood in place and said.

Fu Renxian looked at the night sky, shook his head, and slowly turned around: "It doesn't matter if the emperor believes me or not, my father only hopes that you can live a safe life, and it is more dangerous to persuade the monarch than to accompany the monarch, if it is not to the point where the emperor is willing to believe you, you must not speak easily, otherwise there will be endless troubles." ”

Qizheng nodded and responded: "Yes, your father and daughter are not by your side, you have to take care of your body, don't worry too much about the affairs of the government and the opposition." ”

"Well, I'm going to enter the palace tomorrow, you can go back to your room and rest." Fu Renxian said lightly.

Qizheng bowed slightly, turned around and opened the door to leave, and looked up: "Mother, have the sisters left?" ”

Qin Shi stood outside the door, nodded, was silent for a moment, and said, "Zheng'er, you should go back to the room to rest earlier." ”

"Yes." Qi Zheng walked out of the study, glanced at the Qin clan and left.

Qin Shi walked into the study, covered the door, and walked behind Fu Renxian: "Master, why do you have to obey Qi'er's wishes, if Qi'er marries Xia Luanyi, it will be beneficial and harmless to him, the Fu family, and Qizheng." ”

Fu Renxian walked to the top of the hall and sat down, and the Qin family also sat aside.

After a while, Fu Renxian spoke: "Madam, how can you not understand what you are thinking about as a husband, it's just that Xia Luanyi is not the most suitable person, and Zheng'er doesn't seem to like the Xia family very much." ”

"Zheng'er doesn't like the Xia family because Mrs. Xia's temperament is a little ......." Qin Shi paused, and said, "And Xia Luan regretted that this morning I asked a show girl to wear white clothes to go to the palace and was bumped into by Zheng'er, but this matter can't be compared, if Xia Mingxu takes refuge in Chen Yi, then Qi'er's future ......." Qin frowned and looked at Fu Renxian.

"Madame doesn't need to worry, if Xia Mingxu really defects to Chen Yi, she will be able to deal with her husband freely." Fu Renxian said.

Seeing Fu Renxian like this, the Qin family didn't say anything more......

Qi Zheng left the study, did not return to the room, walked to the garden alone, sat on a slightly flat stone by the pool, and looked at the shadow of the moon reflected in the pool, the water slightly rippling.

There was a sobbing sound behind the rockery, I don't know who was crying, got up, approached, hid behind the rockery, and looked at it.

A woman crouched on the ground and wept, with a slight fire in front of her, as if she was burning something.

"It turned out to be Aunt Yu, it's so late, what is she doing here" Qizheng was puzzled, and he didn't dare to come forward to ask, so he had to hide behind the rockery and watch quietly.

"Yan'er, it's been ten years since you left, do you know how hard your mother has been in the past ten years? Although Mrs. Qin treats her mother well, and her master treats me well, her mother can't gain a foothold in the huge Fu family. Originally, I was looking forward to your third sister marrying a good family, and my mother could be regarded as having something to rely on, but Qiqin was not angry, and married a commoner privately, and others said that there was no way for the mother to teach her daughter, and her mother's face was lost. Today, my mother summoned your third sister back, hoping that the lord could forgive her, but your third sister has always humiliated the Fu family, and she can't live for her own sin. My mother finally gave birth to you, but you only accompanied your mother for ten years and went, my mother is really miserable. Today is your death day, I'm afraid that only my mother remembers, Qizheng is about to enter the palace as a concubine, Qishu is the princess, Qizheng is the imperial concubine, and your third sister is married to a peddler, and my mother has no place to stand, Yan'er, who else can my mother rely on in the future" Li cried while throwing paper money into the fire.

Although Aunt Yu is her father's concubine, in fact, her father does not like her and marries her, her father is a salt merchant, her father entered Beijing to catch the exam, and was helped by her family on the way, and then her family fell into the middle of the road, so she went to the Fu family to take refuge, and her father gave her a name to repay her kindness, so that she could stay in the Fu family justifiably. Aunt Yu is the mother of Sister Qiqin, and she gave birth to Fu Yan ten years ago, but he only lived for ten years before leaving. Today turned out to be Fu Yan's death day, and no one really mentioned it, although my father and mother didn't want me to enter the palace, but Fu Fu should have dealt with this matter ceremoniously, and was preparing to send me out of the house with a colorful lantern, and no one paid attention to her, I only knew that she was often looked down upon by the people in the house, and she was lonely on weekdays, but I didn't know that she was so miserable in her heart. Sister Qin was originally her dependence, but she fell in love with a commoner, and she married him desperately, losing the face of the Fu family, and Aunt Yu was not less blamed. Qizheng knew the misery in Li's heart, but she was powerless to help her, and turned away gently.

Qi Zheng returned to the room, closed the door and walked to the table and sat down, holding his forehead with his hand and closing his eyes slightly, "I am going to live another life tomorrow, whether it is fortunate or sad, I don't know, my brother still knows that it is a pity not to be able to spend a life with the person I love, and I am destined to regret." ’

There was a knock on the door......

"Come in." Qi Zheng said lightly.

Yun'er pushed the door in: "Miss, Madame saw that Madam hadn't eaten much just now, so she specially instructed the slave maid to prepare the bird's nest porridge for Miss, and Miss drank it while it was hot." ”

Qizheng put down his hand, raised his head and said, "Yun'er, I'm going to enter the palace tomorrow, without you by my side, I'm afraid I won't get used to it." ”

Yun'er walked to the table and put the porridge on the table: "The slave maid is reluctant to miss, but the palace maids in the palace are all carefully selected, and they are definitely not as stupid as the slave maid, Miss don't think so much, drink the porridge and go to bed early." ”

Qizheng smiled: "Let's put it here first, I want to be alone." ”

Yun'er answered, closed the door and went out.

Qizheng looked at the bird's nest porridge in front of her, but she didn't have the slightest appetite, thinking about Qiqin's embarrassment today, Li's helplessness, Fu Qi's persistence, she didn't have these, now she is resigned to fate, and then, one step at a time.

Qizheng shook his head, sighed lightly, and opened the door with porridge and went out......
