Qi Liansheng was relieved when he saw the seven of them come back together. Before it was dark, he instructed Lin Ge to prepare a dinner for nine people in the evening, and Lin Ge was at first puzzled that a guest was coming, so he went down to the kitchen to prepare it.

The seven of them entered the main hall together, and saw Qi Liansheng sitting on the main seat with a book and watching, and they didn't come back together at all. Shu Rusheng trotted forward and said, "Brother, you read like this and see this time." ”

Qi Liansheng flipped through the pages of the book and said casually: "Well, you are back, you can eat." ”

Shu Rusheng felt that he was a little casual when he heard his answer, and just looked at him blankly. At this time, Lin Ge walked in and said to the two above: "Young master, you asked Lin Ge to prepare the meal. ”

Qi Liansheng heard the voice, stood up, closed the book he had just flipped, looked at the six people below, and said to Lin Ge again: "Since everyone is here, let's eat." ”

At this time, Lin Ge suddenly realized that there were exactly nine people in the lower hall. Qi Liansheng walked to the door and found that no one had moved, so he said again: "Why, I am not satisfied with the dinner I prepared for you." ”

When Shu Rusheng heard Qi Liansheng's words, he felt a little strange in his heart, but he walked down to him, turned to a few of them and said, "Let's go, we all have to eat anyway, don't we?" ”

After Shu Rusheng finished speaking, he took Qi Liansheng's hand and walked forward, and several of them followed behind the two of them. When Lin Ge carefully prepared the meal in a room, Shu Rusheng and Qi Liansheng were seated. Shu Rusheng looked at the extremely rich food on the table, and knew that Qi Liansheng had carefully asked Lin Ge to prepare it, so he didn't speak. A few of them stood next to them, and they usually waited for Qi Liansheng and Shu Rusheng to finish eating before they ate in the kitchen.

Qi Liansheng didn't move his chopsticks, and looked at the few of them standing and said, "Sit down." ”

They were still hesitating, and no one made any moves. Shu Rusheng looked at the few of them, a little hungry, so he opened his mouth and said, "Yes, sit down." There's no one else here, so sit down. It can be regarded as a celebration, and our Qi family has one more person. ”

Qi Liansheng looked at a few of them, and knew that the four of them were okay, and no one had eaten together before, but they had grown up and understood the rules. He looked at the four of them and said, "To eat this meal or not." ”

Shu Rusheng knew that Qi Liansheng was pretending to be serious, so he helped with the acting on the side, and said with a playful look: "Hurry up, five brothers, take Ni'er and Aunt Ning to the table together, the young master and others are angry, I can't control it." Hurry up, I'm hungry. ”

Originally, no one moved, but I saw Qi Yuan sit down first with an expressionless face, and then follow one by one. When they sat down, Qi Liansheng stood up and personally poured wine in front of everyone, then sat down and raised his glass and said: "As Ya'er said just now, Aunt Ning is going to live with Shiyuan, so it will be the Qi family in the future, and Ni'er has been taking care of Ya'er for a long time, I salute you for this glass of wine, thank you for taking care of it these days." ”

Ni'er didn't think she would be called her name, so she stood up in surprise and lowered her head and touched her glass with Qi Liansheng, and said, "It's what Ni'er should do, Ni'er should thank the young master for helping his father pay off his debts and sending him to do a good errand." ”

Shu Rusheng saw that there would be a sensational plot in this meeting, so he stepped forward and said: "Okay, acquaintance is fate, everyone eats vegetables, there is no young lady here, as long as Qi Liansheng and Shu Rusheng." ”

Ning Lu and Ni'er didn't know why Shu Rusheng and Qi Liansheng had different surnames, but Qi Liansheng was Ya'er, but Shu Rusheng's name didn't have the word Ya, and they didn't care about the name at this time. There were no young masters and young ladies at the table such as Shu Rusheng, and Shu Rusheng opened some jokes about how they knew each other in Qi's house, which caused bursts of laughter in the house.

At this time, the difference with this small courtyard is the Yao Mansion in Jinzhou City, which is very quiet. In a small courtyard, I saw a young woman kneeling in front of a statue of Guanyin with a string of eighteen beads in her hand, muttering in a whisper.

There was someone around her, but the man walked out and closed the door. She opened her eyes at the sound of the door closing, quickly fiddled with the string of beads in her hand, and stood up. She first went to the window and looked, and there was no one in sight. Only then did he walk to the side of the statue of Guanyin, his hands folded as if he was praying with the statue of Guanyin, and then he gently turned the statue of Guanyin with his hands holding a jade bottle, and Guanyin sat down and opened a drawer with a lotus. She took a booklet from a drawer, and she flipped through it, her expression twitching.

She took advantage of the silence in this house to drop the needle like some heavy object, and heard the sound of someone coming. She immediately put the booklet back and closed the drawer. He picked up the string of beads again, knelt in front of the statue of Guanyin, and whispered something.

Someone won't push the door in, it's the maid Begonia next to her. She stood up at this time, went to light three pillars of incense, and inserted it into the incense burner. She turned around, pretending not to know the way Begonia walked in, and said, "When did you come, and you didn't make a sound." ”

Haitang Fuli said: "The slave has only come in for a short time, and it is not easy to disturb the young lady when he sees that she is lighting incense." The bird's nest that the young master asked him to bring, Miss eat it while it's hot. ”

The man first stopped thinking about something, and then said, "Okay, eat now." By the way, tomorrow I want to go to the temple to worship, you prepare something tomorrow, it's not good to go empty-handed. ”

After hearing this, Haitang nodded, brought the bowl of bird's nest, and said, "Yes, the slave will be ready tomorrow." By the way, would you like to ask Miss Biao to come with you? ”

The man stirred the bowl of bird's nest with a spoon and said, "No, she doesn't like clean places in the first place." If she goes, I'm afraid of disturbing the Bodhisattva's meditation, so it's good for the two of us to go. ”

Begonia Fuli nodded and walked out.

Kyoto Jingheden

Concubine Shu gave birth to Ling Hengyi's eldest son, which also prompted Ling Hengyi to often come to Jinghe Hall to see the children and accompany Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu has not yet done a good job of confinement, and the will of Jin Feng has been made but has not yet been officially canonized. Ling Hengyi asked Lin Zhenguo not to report before coming in, he was afraid that he would make a noise to the child. When he entered, he only saw Concubine Shu holding the child, amused.

When Ling Hengyi walked in, Concubine Shu only cared about teasing the child, but she didn't notice that Ling Hengyi was getting closer and closer to the child. The nurse didn't intend to look up and see Ling Hengyi kneeling, and then Concubine Shu found out that it was him, and when she was about to stay and salute, she saw Ling Hengyi step forward to stop her and said: "I didn't even have anyone to report, I was afraid of disturbing you and the emperor, so I didn't need to salute." ”

Concubine Shu was still holding the prince in her hand, nodded and saluted, and said, "Thank you, the king." ”

Ling Hengyi looked at the infant prince, sighed a little in his heart, and said: "The emperor is almost full moon, but it's a pity that he can't receive Ya'er's blessing at the full moon ceremony." However, she found a locksmith in Jinzhou City to make a pair of wishful locks for the emperor, Lin Zhenguo. ”

Lin Zhenguo heard his shout, took out a bag from his waist, walked to Ling Hengyi, and handed it to him. Ling Hengyi opened the bag and poured out a silver ruyi lock. The ruyi lock was hung with a red rope, and he put the ruyi lock around the prince's neck and said, "Come to the emperor, this is your aunt sending you." When you're older, you'll be able to see her. ”

Concubine Shu looked at Ling Hengyi hanging a wishful lock for him, and said with a smile: "Yes, I don't know how old it is to meet the county lord." When he was still in his stomach before, the county lord kept saying that he would hold him, accept this full moon ceremony, and participate in this name. It's just a pity that the county lord is still out on business. ”

Ling Hengyi took the prince, sat on the bed in his arms, and said: "She can't come back in time for this full moon ceremony, but I have already written the name of the Heavenly Altar to the emperor, and let them send it to Ya'er immediately, so that she can participate." She doesn't have to be so disappointed either. ”

Concubine Shu was still sitting and said: "Is the county lord Chang going to be out for a long time before he comes back, today Shu Yi entered the palace to check the pulse of the concubine, and he told the concubine that the two of them will go back to Jingzhou soon, I am afraid that the county lord will go to Jingzhou." ”

Ling Hengyi teased the child, nodded and said, "Yes, my uncle is old and doesn't like to come to Kyoto." It happened that they would pass through Jingzhou, and Ya'er thought about going to accompany her for a while, and that's fine, since she regained her name, she has been doing state affairs for me. Although Jingzhou is not the main city of the Ling Dynasty, because the eldest uncle is there, those people dare not do anything. Therefore, in Jingzhou, she can accompany her uncle well and rest for a while by the way. ”

Concubine Shu has never asked about state affairs, but only laughs with her.

Jinghedian gave birth to a child from Concubine Shu, and this harem was much more lively. It's not because she has a child that it's particularly lively, but the queen of this Ling Dynasty, Qi Anrong, can't stand it for everyone, and the eldest son of Ling Hengyi is not from her or a concubine, and she sells the servants in her own house every once in a while.

She learned from her subordinates that Ling Hengyi went to Jinghe Hall again today, and couldn't help but throw some porcelain pots on the ground at hand, and said openly: "What is this queen of me, she used to want to drag me into the water." Well, now his eldest son is not from me, or the damn Concubine Shu. ”

Her cronies were afraid that it would reach Ling Hengyi's ears again, and they had a bad impression of Qi Anrong, so they comforted: "Niangniang, don't say it, if the king hears it, it's not good." ”

When Qi Anrong heard her say this, he said angrily again: "You should let him hear it, doesn't he have a prince in his heart?" Now that he has, he should depose me, and then he can marry that woman as queen, hasn't he always wanted to marry her. ”

Everyone in the room knelt down, and the cronie said, "Mother, don't say that. The county lord is married, and she is your sister. ”

Qi Anrong sat down, laughed and said, "It was Shu Rusheng who married, not her Qi Anya." Hmph, sister. When did she become my sister, and who she was known to the whole country, I knew that she was still alive, and she was still alive. It was she who helped that slut conceive the prince step by step, but my sister is nothing in her eyes. ”

Everyone didn't dare to speak, Qi Anrong only laughed over there, as if he was crazy.
