Chapter 63: Shi Yuqing's Quest
Mingfeng has five princes and three princesses, the eldest prince Wan Qide, and his biological mother is the daughter of the Qi family, one of the four great families. The second prince, Wan Qihao, is seventeen years old, and his biological mother is the second daughter of the prime minister, who is the current queen; The third prince, Wan Qifeng, is fifteen years old, and his biological mother is Concubine Dong, the daughter of the Taishi; The fourth prince, Wan Qiping, is twelve years old, and his biological mother is Concubine Li, the daughter of General Qiao; The fifth prince, Wan Qiyi, was nine years old, his biological mother was a palace maid, who died of hemorrhage during childbirth, and is now fostered under the name of Concubine De, one of the four concubines; The eldest princess Wan Qiqin, sixteen years old, married Ming Guo three years ago; The second princess, Wan Qixue, is only eleven years old and is born of a virtuous concubine; The third princess, Wan Qiting, is five years old and is born by Concubine Li.
Wan Qihao, the second prince of Mingfeng Kingdom, is handsome and gentle, only seventeen years old, he is already an intermediate illusionist, and he is studying in Lingfeng Academy, he is the most outstanding prince of the royal family, and he is also the most likely person to inherit Mingfeng Kingdom.
Such a person is the one who is worthy of her Shi Yuyao!
Hearing Shi Yuyao being so confident, Duan Xianghe's face showed a satisfied smile: "My daughter is naturally beautiful, but you can't take it lightly from other families, after all, no woman doesn't want to get glory, wealth and power, not to mention that the second prince is so good, those noble ladies will not give up." ”
"Mother." Thinking of those women who wanted to cling to the second prince, Shi Yuyao pursed her lips disdainfully, with disdain in her eyes, "Just with those low-cultivation rouge gouaches, they can't be compared with me at all, let alone be with the second prince, even Your Majesty will not allow a lowly woman to marry the second prince, the second prince is the prince that His Majesty values the most." ”
Even if it's those noblewomen who are higher than her, what if they have! The cultivation talent is not comparable to her at all.
As long as you know her Shi Yuyao, you should know that she is a rare genius in Mingfeng Kingdom, with outstanding cultivation and appearance, and she is still a noble daughter in this Shi Mansion.
Only she is the best choice for a wife.
If anyone dares to rob her, she will definitely make that person regret it!
The corners of Shi Yuyao's red lips rose slightly, dyed with a touch of gloom, especially the ground under her eyes was clearly visible.
"Mother, sister." Just as the two of them were enjoying themselves, a crisp voice came, and Shi Yuqing and the slave Fluttershy walked slowly towards them.
"What are you going to do?" Shi Yuyao frowned slightly, with some displeasure in her eyes.
"Yao'er." Duan Xianghe glared at Shi Yuyao dotingly, and then looked at Shi Yuqing with a smile, "Qing'er is here, is there anything wrong with it so late?" ”
Shi Yuqing nodded at Shi Yuyao and smiled gently, "Mother, I heard that you are back, Qing'er came to visit, Mother, I have worked hard for you along the way." ”
She didn't care about Shi Yuyao's dislike of her, although she was by Shi Yuyao's side, it was more often because of Duan Xianghe, so she wouldn't go to Shi Yuyao's side when it wasn't necessary.
"Qing'er is really filial, and she didn't let her mother hurt you in vain." Duan Xianghe smiled with satisfaction, but she didn't mean to be close, but instead looked at Mama Liu, who was waiting on the side.
"Mama Liu, go and bring one of the sachets I asked for from Xiangye Temple to the third lady."
"Yes, ma'am." Mama Liu nodded, took out a delicate sachet from the inner room and handed it to Shi Yuqing.
"Third Miss, this is specially requested for you."
"Qing'er, this is a unique sachet of Xiangye Temple, and the spices in it have a calming effect, you can take one back." Duan Xianghe added.
Shi Yuqing was flattered, and hurriedly took it, with emotion in her eyes, "Thank you mother, Qing'er will definitely wear it on her body from time to time." He carefully put the sachet in his arms.
"If you like it." Duan Xianghe smiled, and then seemed to think of something, "By the way, Qing'er, there will be a palace banquet in a few days, although your father can't take you into the palace, but your mother can let you go to the palace banquet as a slave and maid by Yao'er's side, and then you can go and see it, I'm afraid that Shi will wronged you, what do you think?" Duan Xianghe looked at Shi Yuqing inquiringly, but her attitude was like she couldn't refuse.
Hearing this, a smile bloomed on Shi Yuqing's face, and she owed to Duan Xianghe, and said gratefully: "Thank you, mother, Qing'er is very willing." It's just that the moment he lowered his head, a flash of light flashed in his eyes.
"That's good, it's not too early, you can go back and rest first." Duan Xianghe nodded and waved his hand in satisfaction.
"Yes, mother, sister, Qing'er will go back first." After saluting the two of them again, Shi Yuqing turned around and left the room.
"Mother, why do you want me to take her into the palace?" Looking at Shi Yuqing's back as she left, Shi Yuyao asked puzzled.
She didn't like Shi Yuqing, if it weren't for her mother saying that Shi Yuqing still had an effect on her, and at the same time she could do a good job for her image, she wouldn't have let Shi Yuqing follow her! A concubine who has no effect on her, what qualifications does she have to stand with her, isn't that lowering her status!
Besides, every time Shi Yuqing is in front of her mother when she is there, she will lean in front of her mother, for fear that her mother will not notice her, for such a person who wants to grab her mother's attention with her, having that Shi Yulin is already annoying enough, and she has to take Shi Yuqing with her!
Besides, there are requirements for this palace banquet, only officials above the fourth rank can bring their daughters and sons-in-law or Mrs. Decree to participate, and no one else can participate, what does this mean by mother?
Duan Xianghe sighed and said, "Yao'er! I'm also for your good, since I was a child, I told you, to manage a good image, not only to maintain gentleness and dignity in front of outsiders, but also to treat the people around you, give some small favors, then it becomes more convenient when you need it, although you are a teenager to become famous, but it is inevitable that some people will be jealous of you, and find fault with you in other aspects, but you are in unlimited scenery at the same time, but also to be able to be so friendly and harmonious to your younger brothers and sisters, then your reputation will be better, so, this is a good thing. ”
Seeing that Shi Yuyao listened to it, Duan Xianghe continued: "And for you, it's just one more minion, it doesn't have any impact, it's a big deal that after you get to the palace, you don't have to worry about her, so you don't have to care too much, you know?" "This daughter is good at everything, and she is also very smart, but she is too dependent on herself and does not like to think about things before and after, and now she has to educate her more, so that when she grows up in the future, she will not waste her efforts over the years.
She has been watching Yao'er for the rest of her life.
Feeling that what Duan Xianghe said was not wrong, Shi Yuyao nodded reluctantly: "Got it, mother." ”
On this side, after Shi Yuqing left the main courtyard of Zhuxiang Courtyard, the smile on her face completely disappeared.
"Miss, Madame is a servant girl who can let you pretend to be the second lady, obviously you are also the daughter of the master! Isn't this a loss of face for you! Fluttershy looks at her young lady with some concern, feeling dissatisfied with her.
Miss is obviously such a good person, but because of her status, she has to succumb to the second miss and her wife, and she has to be treated unfairly by her wife and second miss.
And the third aunt is a person who doesn't care about things, every day is to eat fast and chant Buddha in the ancestral hall, completely ignoring the third lady and the fourth young master, if it weren't for the young lady herself to find a way to survive tenaciously in the house, then the current young lady may be similar to the previous eldest lady.
"Fluttershy, that's a good thing, isn't it?" Compared to Fluttershy's ugly face, Shi Yuqing didn't care, this matter was only good for her, there was no harm, she could go and see those people from the family, and some people who usually didn't have the opportunity to meet at all, but she was Shi Yuyao's slave, but who would pay attention to her! So don't worry about it.
And Duan Xianghe did this just to win herself over, and wanted her to thank their mother and daughter, which she also knew, but as long as she could get better things, then what was the little grievance!
"Miss......" Fluttershy's eyes flashed with distress, but she didn't know what to say.
"Fourth Young Master, be careful!" Just as Fluttershy tries to continue convincing her young lady, a nervous voice rings out from where they don't want to.
Looking for the sound, they saw that in front of them, a small boy hurriedly ran in front, followed by a nervous slave.
"Miss, it's the fourth young master." Looking at the boy, Fluttershy looks at Shi Yuqing with some surprise.
Miss and the fourth young master are from the same mother, the fourth young master is still the only male in the Shi Mansion, and it is very likely that he will be the person in charge of the Shi Mansion in the future, if the relationship with the fourth young master is good, then after the young lady gets married in the future, she will be able to rely on her mother's family, but since the fourth young master was fostered by the master under the name of the lady, there is a lady who lives in the bamboo incense courtyard, that is, the young lady wants to see the fourth young master, it is not easy, and the fourth young master has never come to find the young lady.
"Fluttershy, stop pinning your hopes on the impossible." In contrast to Fluttershy's excitement, Shih appears calm, even looking away after just glancing at the boy in the distance.
Although this Shi Yulin is her younger brother, he actually has no effect, so what if he is the only male in Shifu? Heh~ Since birth, she has been fostered under Duan Xianghe's name, what kind of good upbringing, not to mention Duan Xianghe's intentional behavior, for this younger brother, she no longer pinned her hopes after that time.
Thinking of that situation, the corners of Shi Yuqing's mouth hooked up a bitter arc.
A year ago, she went to see the third aunt, but she was directly ignored, and later mentioned Shi Yulin, she secretly went to see him, but she didn't want to, this look was a heartache.
