Chapter 136: Entering the Palace?
After Liu Ke listened to Shi's words, he was suddenly a little apprehensive, and asked with a puzzled face: "I don't know what kind of happy event my uncle and grandmother are talking about?" β
Shi Shi held Liu Ke's hand and said, "Let's go in first!" β
Liu Feng was angry, and bowed to the Shi clan and said, "Uncle and grandmother, the slave next to Ke'er left her alone in the shop outside, do you know about this?" β
The expression on Shi's face froze, and then he smiled: "If you have anything to say, let's go and say it first," after she said this, she glanced sideways at Liu Feng and continued: "After all, it is about Ke'er's reputation, how can you, as a brother, talk nonsense like this at the gate." β
After Liu Feng heard this, he bowed his head and was silent.
Seeing this, Shi Shi smiled slightly, stopped talking, and just took Liu Ke's hand and walked forward.
She figured out Liu Feng's mind for Liu Ke, so it was easy to handle Liu Feng.
After arriving at the main room, Shi pulled Liu Ke to sit on the Xiangfei couch in the middle hall, and said with a smile: "Today's incident, Yuxiang told me after he came back, it was the carriage that had an accident, so they were separated from you, after they came back, my uncle and grandmother immediately sent someone out to find you, I knew that you are a blessed person, and nothing will happen." β
Liu Ke listened to these high-sounding words, and rolled her eyes in her heart, now that she is back safe and sound, what if she has any trouble outside? She is the only one who bears the consequences.
After Shi finished speaking, he looked at Liu Feng again, and said with disgust on his face: "It's Mu Qing, why don't you tell Uncle SΓΉ and grandmother about your sister's whereabouts, let me worry." β
When Liu Feng heard this, he just lowered his head angrily and did not speak.
"My brother met me by chance on the street, and if he had known about it, he wouldn't have picked me up alone without telling my uncle and grandmother. It was my uncle and grandmother who said, I am really a blessed person, I saw my brother when I was separated from the house slaves just now, if it weren't for this, how could I stand here and talk to my uncle and grandmother unharmed. Liu Keqiang held back the anger in his heart. With a light smile on his face, he said to Shi.
Shi smiled, "In the end, it's my brother and sister, I didn't blame Mu Qing, you just protected it, okay, let's not talk about it." Let's talk about entering the palace in a few days. β
Enter the palace!
As soon as he heard these two words, Liu Ke's head suddenly became a little bigger, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
When Shi saw Liu Ke's appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, but he smiled on his face: "March 25 is the birthday of the Queen Mother. Every year her old man's birthday is quiet, this year I don't know why, but I want to invite the lady of the Lord in Beijing to bring her family into the palace for a lively day, you say it's a happy event, isn't it? β
When Liu Ke heard this, his hanging heart let go: "Sure enough, it's a happy event, it's just the Queen Mother's birthday, so naturally she has to prepare a congratulatory gift, and there are still more than 20 days to go." Don't know what to prepare? β
"It's not expensive or cheap, just respect, girls. It's nothing more than sending some self-made needlework and the like, you don't have to care about this, it's just that the etiquette in this palace is a big deal, I will ask someone to find a grandmother who used to serve in the palace tomorrow to teach you, you and Wan'er have to study hard. Seeing that Liu Ke had no resistance on his face, Shi couldn't help but smile.
Liu Ke nodded and stopped talking.
Although she knew that the Shi family would definitely take advantage of the Queen Mother's birthday celebration to make ghosts. But at this time, she couldn't refuse to enter the palace, otherwise it would seem that she was too hypocritical. It is also unreasonable and easy to arouse the suspicion of others.
Now she can only take one step at a time. The soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth.
After sitting in the main room for a while, she went back to her Qinlan Courtyard.
When she walked to the door, she saw Yuye and Liu Qing anxiously walking around the gate of the courtyard, and when they saw Liu Ke coming from a distance, the two ran to meet them regardless of it.
"Miss, you're back, we're all dying." Yuye stepped forward and hugged Liu Ke's arm and said with a crying voice.
Liu Ke patted her hand for comfort, and after arriving in the courtyard, Fang said to Yuye, "Why did you come back first?" β
Before she could finish her words, she saw Liu Wan running out of her room.
Liu Wan heard that after Liu Ke went out, she was separated from the house slave, so she wanted to go out to look for it, but Shi ordered people to watch her and not allow her to run around, afraid that she would not find anyone when she went out, but would cause trouble, so she had to wait in Qinlan Courtyard.
As soon as he heard Liu Ke's voice just now, he hurriedly ran out.
She held the door frame with both hands, and when she saw Liu Ke standing in the courtyard, her eyes turned a little red.
"What's the matter with you, why don't you call me when you go out, what do you let me do if something happens?"
Seeing Liu Wan's true feelings, Liu Ke couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart, stepped forward, reached out and touched her head and said, "Not next time." β
"Who did you meet, and why did Yuye say that they were forced to come back after Yuye came back?" Liu Wan pulled Liu Ke into the door.
After Liu Ke entered the door, he didn't see Yuxiang's shadow, so he asked, "Where is Yuxiang?" β
Tamaha replied, "There was no one after she came back, and we don't know where she went. β
Liu Ke listened and nodded, this Yuxiang had to find a way to get it away from himself.
She took a deep breath and said to Liu Yun: "I met the prince again on the road, but fortunately, I met my brother, and my brother brought me back." β
She didn't mention the incident of meeting Qingyi, and she didn't know how to explain it to Liu Wan.
"Sister, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have listened to my uncle and grandmother's instigation and tricked you out to meet the prince. At that time, my uncle and grandmother did not tell me that the man was the prince, but only asked me if the person was compatible with my sister, and I saw that the man was popular and luxuriously dressed, and he must be the noble son of a family, and if my sister could marry such a family, it would be very good, so I agreed to her. Sister, I'm sorry, you hit me! Liu Wan looked guilty.
Liu Ke smiled: "If you have something to do, you always have to come, even if you don't lead me out, my uncle and grandmother will let someone else lead me out, just think about why she let me enter Beijing." β
When she said this, she paused slightly, and the smile on her face slowly converged. His eyes became sharp, and he said firmly: "However, without my mother, I still have a father and a brother." It was never my uncle's and grandmother's turn to decide my fate. β
"Sister, you're right, let's go and tell my father about this, we don't live here." Liu Wan said angrily.
Liu Ke shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's just that I met the prince twice, and the prince didn't say anything." If you move out at this time, it seems that something really happened, and even if my father mentions it, there is no reason. β
Liu Wan stomped his feet and said, "Then what should I do?" You can't just watch your aunt and uncle give you to someone else as a gift. After she said this, she immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly changed her words. But I didn't know how to go on, "Sister, I didn't mean that......"
Liu Ke pursed his lips slightly, "You're right, my uncle and grandmother just treat me as a gift, a gift that can benefit the family." β
In fact, Liu Ke also knows that their approach is nothing, and now many big families use this method for the benefit of the family.
But. If it was Liu Ke in the past, she might have obeyed the arrangement of fate, but the current Liu Ke has gone through the tribulations of the previous life. If she comes back here, she will definitely not be at the mercy of others, not to mention that she still holds the things left to her by her mother Su in her hands.
It was not so easy for the people of the Liu family to get her out in a daze.
Liu Ke saw Liu Wan's bitter and hateful look, and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, you have to believe me, any problem can be solved." Well, don't think about all these troublesome things. I went to Shi's house on the sixth day of junior high school, are your gifts ready? Gifts were prepared for whom. β
After Liu Wan listened to Liu Ke's words. Immediately smiled, blushed and bowed his head, and said, "It's just for the old lady of the Shi family and a few sisters, who else can I prepare a gift for." β
Liu Ke smiled slightly and said, "The two old ladies of the Shi family, are you ready?" Or is it just for the big old lady? β
At this time, the smile on Liu Wan's face slowly retracted, and said, "It's only for the eldest old lady, the second old lady of the Shi family shouldn't attend the party on the sixth day of junior high school." β
The Shi family was divided into two families, civil and military, decades ago.
Shi Yan's grandfather, Shi Yu, was born as a military general, and almost broke with his family because he abandoned literature and joined the military.
Now the big house of the Shi family lives in Wanzi Jietaining Lane, and the second room lives in South Grits Seed Lane, Jiaoxi Street, and the two families are separated by two streets.
Liu Ke didn't know much about the affairs of the two Shi families, but Liu Xuan knew that the old lady Liu in the big room had always been a scholarly family, and she was very disdainful of the martial arts in the second room, so every time she saw the old lady Xie in the second room, she would speak coldly.
And the old lady Xie in the second room was born in Chen Liuxie's family, and she was born with everyone's beautiful temperament and mind, and she didn't like to make friends with Liu's family, who was born in a small family, so except for the New Year's holiday, the two rarely had contact.
This time, it was the old lady of the Shi family who picked up the Shi family, and the Xie family naturally wouldn't go, and I don't know if Shi Yan would not participate.
Thinking of this, Liu Wan was a little embarrassed.
I don't have the same excitement as I did the other day.
However, on the sixth day of junior high school, Liu Wan still groomed and dressed up with hope.
What puzzled Liu Wan was that Shi personally checked her clothes and accessories.
replaced the jade hairpin on her head with a red gold and ruby-inlaid head, and let her wear a water-red gown with ten brocade makeup flowers before saying: "In this way, I look like a daughter-in-law, and pass on those plain colors, although they are elegant and chic, they inevitably look like a small jasper." β
After Shi finished speaking, he took Liu Wan's hand and went to Liu Ke's Qinlan Courtyard.
Seeing that Liu Ke was wearing a long gown with a red and gold branch line leaf pattern, and gold ornaments were also used on his head, he smiled with satisfaction: "Look at your sister's outfit, it is very decent." β
Liu Ke actually said that red was not the best, but she deliberately wore it this way in order to bring out Liu Wan, but she didn't expect Liu Wan to wear red too.
"My sister has always disliked big red, why did she wear a red dress today?" After Liu Ke saluted Shi, he asked Liu Wan with a smile.
After listening to Liu Ke's words, Shi said with a smile: "Although it is said that it is to catch the wind today, but the eldest lady of the Shi family specially instructed me to call you, I think I want to meet you, especially Wan'er, so it is better for you to dress formally." β
Liu Ke saw that the smile on Shi's face was a little meaningful, so he immediately understood Shi's words, and couldn't help but look at Liu Wan in surprise - (To be continued)
