Returning to the present, Shi Qingqian lay by the window, looking at the moon that was getting mellower day by day.

In the past few months, she has lived a fairly peaceful life. The eldest brother Shi Nian has not yet returned home from going out, and Mu He of Shangshu Mansion also followed his father to the local government affairs at the beginning of the year. In addition, Shen Mi is not young, and the emperor is disheartened with the prince and intends to cultivate his political ability, so he is also very busy, and even with his brother Shi Ke, who is his companion, he also runs around the palace and the Hou Mansion all day long.

The noisy people around him suddenly performed their duties and followed their own life trajectory, but Shi Qingqian still felt a little lonely. Fortunately, there are five princesses and Zuo Shinian by her side at this time, so she doesn't seem too lonely.

Jing'an seems to be very busy these days, but judging from the occasional meeting when she goes to the school, she is getting better and better, and she is becoming more and more dignified. At least the people around me have been replaced, and these people follow the rules and only listen to Jing'an.

Hearing her brother Shi Ke talk about it once, Jing An gradually regained the power in the hands of Madame Zhong, and she began to take over the entire business of an iron factory, mainly responsible for building weapons and armor for the army. Because she had never been exposed to how to run a business, she also asked Shi Ke and Shen Mi for experience when she entered the palace to present her feelings.

"Wow, I didn't expect Jing'an to be so powerful!" Shi Qingqian, who heard the news, said in shock, and no longer complained that Jing'an hadn't contacted him for so long.

Shi Ke just touched Shi Qingqian's head, "The county lord of Jing'an has inherited the talent of Vice General Zhong, and he has an amazing talent for the improvement of armor and weapons. However, when it comes to business, there is still a little lack of heat, and I heard that now she has hired an outsider to manage the iron factory for herself. ”

"That's not bad, either." Shi Qingqian said sincerely, "How can anyone be wholly all-powerful, Jing'an has an outstanding feature, which is enough to impress the world." ”

Shi Qingqian sighed at the bright moon, as he grew older, it seemed that everyone around him had something worth busy and studying, but why was he the only one, or doing nothing like this?

She was in distress, when suddenly Xue Ying pushed the door in from outside, and said angrily as she walked: "Miss! When are you going to get that Yang Yi away! ”

Shi Qingqian couldn't be interested in any time at this time, she didn't move, just changed a hand supporting her head, and glanced at her listlessly, "Ying'er, what's wrong?" ”

Since the day Yang Yi came to the Hou Mansion, Xue Ying has never liked her.

The reason, Shi Qingqian can also guess.

Yang Yi has never studied, and he doesn't know some etiquette books. In addition, her temperament is somewhat similar to Sister Liu'er, she has always been arrogant, and she can't get along with the little maids in the Hou Mansion. And because Shi Qingqian felt guilty about her, he took special care of her and tolerated her everywhere, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the people below.

When Xue Ying and Shi Qingqian were alone, they had never been bound by etiquette, and at this time they had already sat down by themselves, still angry: "Then Yang Yitai has no one in his eyes!" When she was washing clothes today, her hands and feet were slowly delayed, and I just said a few words to her, and she directly put aside the things in her hand, and dared to throw her face at me! ”

"Ouch," Shi Qingqian was helpless, so he had to pat Xue Ying's shoulder twice, "She doesn't know etiquette, and she is Sister Liu'er's sister, my Ying'er is so sensible, I must be able to take care of her a little more." ”

Xue Ying was obviously dissatisfied with Shi Qingqian's answer, and still pouted, "Miss, you are here again, just because she is Sister Liu'er's sister, how much preferential treatment have you given her?" ”

"Anyway, there are a lot of people in the house, and my Hou family has a big business, and it is not more than enough to raise an idler." Shi Qingqian broke Xue Ying's tightly clenched fist, "Don't worry about her in the future, what she loves, just do it." ”

"Obviously, she can be regarded as Miss's personal girl, but she is even more idle than the idle people in the back house," Xue Ying muttered, "Miss, do you really plan to raise her for the rest of your life?" ”

In fact, Yang Yi's destination, Shi Qingqian had already thought about it. After she came to the Hou Mansion, she was not steady, and she also saw it in her eyes, "I can't say it for a lifetime, after she is married, my mother and I will naturally find a home for her, and then prepare some bride price." ”

Since Shi Qingqian has said everything to this point, Xue Ying is naturally not good at what to say. Originally, she was going to tell Shi Qingqian about the grievances in her heart, but she didn't expect to be able to ask her to drive Yang Yi out of the house.

The conversation between the two had just ended, and Xiaolian, who had gone out to get something from Houfu, came back. As soon as he entered the door, he smiled happily and shouted, "Miss! Miss, Miss! ”

"What's the matter, Xiaolian?" Seeing that Xiaolian didn't even have time to put down the flower tea she had just picked up in her hand, Shi Qingqian thought that something was wrong.

"The slave maid just went to get something, and when I passed through the main courtyard, I heard the eldest lady say to the master, I want to let the young lady go into the palace to play in a few days!" Xiaolian said excitedly, "Miss has been listless today, now it's okay, you can go to the palace to have fun and relax." ”

These days, Xiaolian looked at Shi Qingqian who had been holding in the house all day, and she felt distressed, and she had long been looking forward to having a reasonable reason to pull her out and turn around. So after knowing about this, I was naturally happy.

"Into the palace?" Shi Qingqian tilted her head and asked, speaking of which, she hadn't been to the palace for almost a year, and the pastries in the palace still made her forget.

Xiao Lian nodded, rolled his eyes and carefully recalled what he had just heard, "Ah, by the way, it is said that on August 15th, Concubine Shu invited the young masters and ladies of all families to enter the palace to enjoy the moon and eat moon cakes!" ”

Speaking of Concubine Shu, Shi Qingqian was still a little surprised.

Although Concubine Shu is Jiang Yuhua's sister, she doesn't seem to have targeted herself because of Jiang Yuhua.

Of course, Shi Qingqian knew that she was the emperor's favorite concubine after all, and it was impossible to casually help her sister participate in the competition of these children's families. Therefore, because of Jiang Yuhua, she has always been respectful of Concubine Shugui.

They have also seen it before, and they have the impression that Concubine Shu has nothing else except the national color and fragrance, she gives people the feeling that she is very shrewd, low-key, and knowledgeable, not like a person who will actively organize a reunion dinner.

I was puzzled, so I asked, "My mother kissed them, did you say why?" ”

"Hmm!" Xiaolian nodded, "It was because Concubine Shu was pregnant not long ago, and the emperor was overjoyed, so he invited the boys and girls of the Baiguan family in the name of Concubine Shu. ”

"I see......"

Since she was pregnant, it was understandable to invite the children to a banquet instead of inviting the beaters to go with her. probably wanted to use the breath of the children to infect the fetus in the womb of Concubine Shu to bless its healthy growth.

"By the way, after the eldest lady saw me, she asked the slave maid to tell the young lady that the father of the concubine was the same party of the master...... Hmm......" Xiaolian tried to recall the words of the eldest lady, "The officials of the same party have provided a lot of help to the lord on weekdays, and Miss Yao must be cautious in her words and deeds, and do not have any suspicion because of the matter of the sister of the concubine." ”

"In that case, we need to do some preparations." Shi Qingqian said to Xue Ying and Xiaolian. For the sake of her father's face, she had to have a good relationship with Concubine Shu, as for that Jiang Yuhua, she decided to treat it as non-existent first.

As for the congratulatory gift to Concubine Shu...... Shi Qingqian still needs to work harder......
