As soon as he walked out of the golden silk nanmu gate of the main hall, Qi Ling jumped over, pulled Su Qi and asked, "What's the matter?" Have you made it all clear? What did the imperial grandmother say? ”
Su Qi patted her hand comfortingly, and said, "I've said everything, I don't know what the Queen Mother thinks in her heart, but I at least made everything I should say clearly."
"Huh?" Qi Ling frowned and said, "What did the imperial grandmother say?"
Su Qi thought for a while, and then said, "...... The Queen Mother only said that she knew, and nothing else...... Didn't say anything. ”
"How...... How so? Qi Ling jumped to his feet and said eagerly: "How could the imperial grandmother not say a word about such a big thing?"
"You wait, I'll go and tell her old man, I'm going to ask you a clear question!"
As he spoke, Qi Ling flicked his sleeves and rushed towards the main hall with his legs.
Su Qishou quickly grabbed Qi Ling's hand, and said eagerly: "The Queen Mother has already rested, don't go, I have already explained everything, the Queen Mother's exquisite mind is naturally understood, Qi Ling, let's go back first."
"But...... But if we don't get a word from the imperial grandmother, won't we run away in vain today? Qi Ling was so anxious that he jumped to his feet.
Su Qi smiled and said, "Don't worry, we won't run in vain today!"
Hearing this, Qi Ling was stunned.
Su Qi looked at the gate of the main hall of Shouren Palace, and the three big words of "Shouren Palace" were reflected in Su Qiqiu's watery eyes, as if they were sparkling with light, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. Such a determined look......
Qi Ling nodded stupidly.
The smile instantly rose to Su Qi's eyebrows, like a long-awaited night ink epiphany, blooming brilliantly at that moment, even if Qi Ling was a woman, she was dumbfounded for a while.
Qi Niangmei, she already knew it, but it was so bewildering, and it was the first time she had seen it for the county lord of Qiling.
That night, Qi Ling squeezed Su Qi's carved tooth bed, hugged the silk quilt and asked sullenly, "...... You just talk and laugh like that. Why did I nod so obediently? When you dragged me out of the palace, my mind was like a pot of porridge, and it was not enough to call. ”
"Su Qi, what do you say happened to me?"
Qi Niang leaned on the plain soft pillow and chuckled, "Fool." Because you believe in me. ”
Qi Ling frowned at first. Then he muttered, "Like...... That's right......"
Su Qi looked at Qi Ling's stupid and confused appearance, which was very interesting. However, she was frightened by the Queen Mother today, and she was so tired that she didn't even have the heart to tease Qi Ling, so she turned over. changed his comfortable posture and said, "It's late at night, let's go to bed early."
Qi Ling was still in a state of confusion that half understood and half understood, and didn't want to take advantage of the fact that no outsiders were asking Su Qi properly, but looking at the girl's tired eyebrows, her heart softened, and she turned over and blew out the candle.
A dreamless night.
On the second day, when Qi Ling smiled and pulled Su Qi to Mrs. Su's Changfeng Hall for breakfast, Su Sanniang was seriously arranging the dishes and chopsticks, and Su Siniang was sitting crookedly in front of Mrs. Su, smiling delicately.
Qi Ling's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he attached it to Su Qi's ear and said, "Your Su Siniang is really hypocritical!"
Su Qi crooked his lips, smiled disappretently, and said, "The fourth sister is also filial piety......"
Qi Ling pursed his lips, glanced at the flowery Su Siniang again, and said in a sullen voice: "It's right for you to be careful in the future."
Since Qi Niang was assassinated repeatedly, especially when she was pushed into the water in the eldest princess's mansion, Qi Ling has emphasized in front of her to be careful, be careful, to be precise, as long as Qi Ling looks at which one around her is not pleasing to the eye, he will definitely pick up the thorn and say to her, and then repeatedly emphasize the word "careful".
Su Qi's ears were already calloused when she heard it, and she thought that maybe the posture of falling into the sunny and rainy hibiscus pool at the birthday banquet that day was wrong, or her expression was too good, so that it left a shadow in the heart of a kind-hearted little girl like Qi Ling.
She sighed helplessly, and casually agreed: "Got it, got it, my good county lord."
Qi Ling listened to the nagging.
When Mrs. Su saw the two of them, her eyebrows lit up, and she didn't care about listening to Su Siniang's nagging carefully, so she hurriedly excused them from greeting them, and said with a smile: "Sit down, sit down quickly, Mrs. Wang, bring the rose bird's nest porridge." smiled and said to Qi Ling and Su Qi: "Yesterday, I heard the Queen Mother say that roses are the most nourishing for blood, and you young girls should make up more for your blood."
Qi Ling said obediently: "The Duchess is right, the imperial grandmother is the favorite rose, when the rose is the most prosperous, the imperial grandmother always asks the palace maids to pick some fresh petals, dry them into dried flowers, even in the severe winter of heavy snowfall, you can still drink rose dew every day."
Old Madam Su was interested, and asked, "I don't know if the county lord can tell me about the recipe for hiding the roses?" The old woman is also worried about the roses in winter. ”
Enthusiastic as Qi Ling, he immediately said with great interest, how to choose roses, how to pick, how long to dry, how much hot sunlight is best, to what extent is the most suitable sun, and finally to choose a jade jar of that size.
“…… The imperial grandmother said that the mouth of the jade jar must not be too large, even if it is sealed well, it will leak the fragrance of roses, and the imperial grandmother said that even if it is an ordinary small flower, it is also spiritual, and only by sealing the essence of the roses can you taste the roses in the warm spring in the cold winter...... There is also the best jade of the sealed altar to choose the Yanbing jade in the northwest, the ink jade of our Dayue country is naturally the upper layer of the material, but the ink jade is soft, and it is longer than the rain in the south......
"And such a magical thing, the old woman is really the first time I have heard of it, the Queen Mother is really knowledgeable and talented......" Mrs. Su put down the silver chopsticks and listened more and more seriously.
Qi Ling was even more energetic, even Su Sanniang and Su Siniang who were present also listened to it with relish.
Su Qi sat on the side, listening to the old and the young talking. But he couldn't hold back and didn't laugh.
Talking to my grandmother about how to pickle, isn't this a naked class axe?
In the previous life, my grandmother pickled tofu milk, capers, crispy radish, as well as dried various kinds of flower tea and green tea are countless.
It's also thanks to my grandmother's performance that she is so good, if she is afraid that she will laugh if she only listens to one or two sentences.
Looking at Qi Ling's eyebrows dancing proudly, Qi Niang only felt that this scene was so joyful.
But when I think about it a little deeper, my heart is sour.
If she didn't understand her grandmother's purpose of pandering to Qi Ling to please the Queen Mother, then she would be stupid.
To gain a foothold, to live well in this watery and fiery imperial capital city according to your heart, my grandmother had to do this.
For her, and for them to come.
Su VII. Nature understands.
Until Mrs. Mu came happily with Mu Jiu. Fang just interrupted Qi Ling's tirade "Theory of Dried Roses".
Su Qi's eyes were sharp, and he saw his grandmother sighing secretly.
The more she felt a bad feeling in her heart.
Grandmother has worked so hard, there is no reason for her to be tired.
She looked down and stepped forward with a big smile.
A salute. Mrs. Mu only then made her intentions clear. “…… The old man's birthday. It's not a whole year old, and the old man doesn't want to disturb you too much...... The seventh lady of the Su family has a life-saving kindness to our Mu family, and the old man specially explained. The invitation must be personally delivered to the Duchess and the Seven Ladies of the Su family as my daughter-in-law, and I hope that the Duchess will come with the Seven Ladies tomorrow no matter what. ”
Mrs. Mu looked at the other two beautiful ladies standing behind the Duchess in the hall, and said exquisitely: "Naturally, the two charming ladies of the Su family also want to come together."
Su Sanniang saluted again and again and said softly, "Don't dare", although Siniang's face was delicate and well-behaved, the action of saluting was half a minute slower.
She felt very uncomfortable in her heart, she was also a lady from the General's Mansion, why did Mrs. Mu flatter Su Qi so much, and treat her and Su Sanniang so perfunctory, if it weren't for the fact that their sisters happened to have breakfast in their grandmother's house today, I was afraid that this Mrs. Mu would definitely not mention them!
Su Sanniang is still so happy!
But thinking about Su Sanniang's real life, she is even more shameless.
Why do these people in the imperial capital regard her and Su Sanniang, who was born halfway, as a level, what kind of person Su Sanniang is, outsiders don't know, she, the Su family, knows very well, a girl who came out of the house has been blessed by misfortune and has taken the position of a short-lived ghost, look at the low-eyed and pleasing lowly appearance, even if she jumps on the branch, she can't change the true color of the crow. She Su Qingluan is a real concubine, why should she be regarded as a fake by Su Sanniang by these individuals?
The more Su Siniang thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved, she only felt that she was sullen in her heart, her grandmother was smiling charitantly, and she was chatting with Mrs. Mu about family life, Su Qi's girl had long been surrounded by the county lord of Qiling and Mu Jiuniang, you said it so well, and then glanced at Su Sanniang, still half-hanging eyelids, the corners of her mouth always had that shallow smile, and her eyebrows were low like a little daughter-in-law.
Su Siniang retracted her gaze, and the anger in her heart became thicker and thicker.
No, she Su Siniang has to take action!
Su Qi starts?
This is undoubtedly the best way, and now the ladies and ladies of their general's mansion, half of them are for the name of their grandmother, the duchess of the country, and the other half is the name of Su Qi, the general of Changfeng and the granddaughter of the palace, if she can be inseparable from Su Qi, needless to say, get rid of Su Sanniang's burden, if she behaves more well-behaved and says something nice, she will be able to coax the queen mother to be convinced, and then there will be nothing to do without her Su Muli.
It's just that...... Su Qi has a noble but extremely clingy Qiling County Lord by his side, and now looking at the excitement of Mu Jiu Niangzi, I am afraid that he is also deliberately flattering...... Su Qi is here...... No way.
Lord of Qiling?
To be honest, she had this intention at first, but since she saw the bleak scene of the second lady of the Wang family being left out in the cold, she just didn't dare to think of this thought! What's more, the Qiling County Lord trusted Su Qi so much, but he was afraid that she would use all her resources to no avail. Lord of Qiling...... No, she still shouldn't be delusional in the future.
Then only the nine ladies of the Mu family remained.
Su Siniang swept from Mu Jiu's innocent face, and naturally fell on Mrs. Mu's graceful and luxurious silhouette.
Her mind moved, and she heard that although this Mrs. Mu was born noble, she was not the original match, because she admired the demeanor of the eldest master of the Mu family, and was willing to continue the strings in twenty-eight years, naturally this Mu Jiu lady is not a real concubine.
The identity is embarrassing, and it is naturally difficult to really integrate into this imperial capital city of gods, ghosts, snakes and demons, and it is very clear to look at the perfunctory face of the county lord of Qiling.
However, Mu Jiuniang has an enviable relationship circle.
As the grandmother of the queen mother, as the grandfather of the old emperor Mu, and a father who controls the second grade, more importantly, the Mu Mansion has produced eight sons and daughters one after another, and it is not easy to look forward to such a little lady, and the partial birth of this Mu Jiu lady is the upper class, and the temperament is no more delicate, I heard that it is very similar to the old lady Mu who passed away early, so it is very loved by the old emperor Mu and the queen mother, especially the old emperor Mu, since he was a child, he was afraid of melting in his mouth and holding it in his hand for fear of breaking......
has an identity and background, and is not embarrassed or embarrassed, just right!
Su Siniang's eyebrows lit up, and even the stuffiness in her chest was half gone.
So when she went to Ziyun Mountain Stream the next day, Su Siniang quietly prepared a small gift and gave it to Mu Jiu privately.
It is a bracelet made of pearls, pearls the size of mung beans, each smooth and smooth, and the beaded thread is actually a colorful silk thread with a bow.
Mu Jiu smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth and eyes, and thanked him vigorously.
Since the last time she saw the Mickey Mouse doll that Su Qi gave to the county lord of Qiling, she has been fascinated by the shiny bow on the head of the Mickey Mouse, and she asked Su Qi to weave a bow headdress for her, and her baby is hidden in the top layer of the jewelry treasure box, and she has to take it out every morning to make up, and only today is such an important day, she Mu Jiu is willing to take it on her sideburns.
Su Siniang put her mind at ease.
She carefully brought it to Mu Jiu, naturally grabbed her, and said with an amiable smile: "The banquet is about to start, let's hurry up, don't let the Queen Mother wait."
It's just an ordinary birthday, I can't imagine that the Queen Mother doesn't invite nature, and the accompanying nature is indispensable to the much-pampered Xuanwu Yicheng, but everyone can't imagine that Murong Qin also came together.
Seeing the light cyan figure, Su Qi involuntarily curled the corners of his mouth.
Of course, in addition to Su Qi, there is also Emperor Mu.
Especially when he saw the marble chessboard sent by Murong Qin, he was even more happy. He patted Murong Qin's back with concern, and said happily to the Queen Mother: "This child is here, very good!"
Entering the table, having a banquet, and then listening to books and watching plays, the lively way of the ancients is nothing more than these, and Emperor Mu was unwilling to publicize it, so the link of the birthday gift was naturally saved.
It's a bit boring for a while.
Qi Niang inexplicably misses the entertainment activities of her previous life, the birthdays of the Cheng family are particularly lively every year, the eldest uncle is often busy taking care of the family business, and it is rare to be at home several times a year, and the cousins study and travel all over the world, and rarely go home, so the birthday of the family members has become a festival.
Homemade cakes, the family made dumplings around the big round table, fishing, swimming competitions, designing the garden by hand, and when it came to the uncle's birthday, it was in the late summer and early autumn, when the grapes were vigorous, so the family made their own wines, and in the following Chinese New Year, they opened the family one by one to vote for the best grape wines......
Now that I think about it, it's like a world away......
Yes, it's already a lifetime away......
Qi Niang's heart was sour, and her ink-like autumn eyes turned red......
Separated by a few ladies in the middle, Xuanwu Yicheng couldn't help but look over at the moment when Su Qi's expression was gloomy.
After all, he couldn't ...... The heart is like stopping water.
He couldn't do it...... I don't want to do it...... (To be continued.) )
