Qi Mansion

The next day, Shu Yi told Qi Anya that he had to see a noble person for the past few days, which made her a little bored, that is, Qi Mansion was looking for an old lady. There weren't many people they brought to Kyoto, and only Mother Wu was close to serve Qi Anya.

She asked Wu's mother to prepare a sedan chair and go to Qi Mansion. Every time she walked into the Qi Mansion, her expression was a little dignified, and her pace was much slower. When he arrived in the old lady's room, he no longer had a solemn expression, but a carefree expression.

When I entered the old lady's room, I saw that there were three people inside, and there was a woman dressed up outside the old lady and Mrs. Qi, and when she approached them, she saw that it was the lord of Shucheng, but with her current identity, she could not be recognized.

She saluted first before speaking: "Rusheng to grandmother, Aunt Qi please be safe." ”

The old lady had a kind smile on her face and bulging cheekbones. motioned to her to come to her side and waved his hand: "Sheng'er, come to me." ”

When she heard this, she pretended to go to Mrs. Qi's side, but she accidentally met the county lord Shucheng next to her. Seeing this, Mrs. Qi hurriedly said: "Rusheng, she is the wife of your brother Liansheng, and she is also the county lord of Shucheng."

She was a little shocked when she heard the word wife. But on the surface, it shows a picture of indifference. After Mrs. Qi finished speaking, she bowed and said, "Rusheng, I have seen His Royal Highness the County Lord." ”

Lord Shucheng slowly helped her up, and she didn't know her true self like anyone else. Xiao Yingying said: "My own family, I don't need those etiquette."

She looked around intently, and her mind resounded with a song of sadness. Some were shocked and relieved. Until Mrs. Qi said to the lord of Shucheng: "In the past few days, you don't want to go into the palace to see the queen mother, and welcome Sheng'er to the queen mother, I have written with the mother, and my sisters naturally want to know each other." ”

On the night I came to Kyoto, I heard Shu Yi say that the previous king had passed away and the new king had ascended the throne. And the new king is the second prince, that is, her cousin, and her sister Qi Anrong married him, which is the current queen Qi. The current Qi family, like the Shen family in the previous dynasty, also knows that the Shen family has already stepped down. When she announced her death as Qi Anya, Princess Shen of Muling didn't know what the reason was, so she removed the position of the main concubine and demoted her to a side concubine.

At this time, when she saw that the family had some power little by little, she thought not about how long these people could be, but whether this Qi family would be the same as the Shen family. She knew that in just a few years, the Shen family had disappeared into the officialdom of the Ling Dynasty like a bloodbath.

Old Madam Qi let them go out first, leaving her alone to accompany her. She asked her servant to bring a brocade box, took out a necklace inlaid with gold and jade, put it in her hand, and said, "Sheng'er, bring this." ”

She looked at the pendant, which was peach petal-like. Looking up at her old man, the wrinkles on her face were getting more and more. She held back her tears, shook her head and said, "This thing is so valuable, and my grandmother has only seen me a few times." ”

She picked up the pendant and was helping her put it on. "I don't like you to say that this was built a few years ago, and I was going to give my second granddaughter, but unfortunately I didn't give it to her, and she left me."

When she saw that Mrs. Qi was about to stand up, she helped her up and accompanied her to the center of the seat. The old lady looked around and said, "When I first met you, it was like when I first met my second granddaughter, although she has been away for three years, and it is you who have given me hope for the future." ”

She looked at her kind smile, although she was not often with her before, at that time, whether she was sad or lost her temper, she spoiled herself, but she didn't know that she was gone, which made her so sad. "Grandmother, you didn't say that I reminded you of that sister, then you took me for her. I don't have any relatives or acquaintances in Kyoto, Sheng'er, and I'm always with you. ”

Old Madam Qi took her hand and nodded: "Okay, my old man will bother you." ”

She nodded.

Qi Mansion

Shu Rusheng seems to have forgotten the purpose of her coming to Kyoto, in addition to chatting with Shu Yi every day, she goes to Qi's house to accompany the old lady, and she is content with such days. Seeing this, Shu Yi is also relieved to be busy outside every day.

Guarding Mrs. Qi's side as usual, when she was waiting for the old lady to drink tea, the lord of Shucheng came over, first saluted Mrs. Qi, and then said: "Grandmother, a few days ago, you asked me to enter the palace and take Rusheng to see the queen mother, and today it just so happens that the granddaughter-in-law is going to visit the imperial grandmother." ”

Rusheng was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the old lady. The old lady took Rusheng's hand and said: "Don't worry, I don't want you to do anything to let you go to see Niangniang, after all, it's your own family, and you don't have any familiar people in Kyoto, if you can follow the queen and Niangniang well, there will be more days to enter the palace in the future." ”

Rusheng nodded, she was happy and worried about entering the palace, she was afraid of seeing the Queen Mother show her feet, and she was surprised to see Qi Anrong. Seeing that her face was a little flustered, Lord Shucheng went over to comfort her: "Sister, don't worry, there is a sister-in-law, not to mention that Niangniang is our own family, so naturally there is no need to be nervous." ”

Rusheng looked up and saw her, and couldn't help sneering in his heart. She looked at it and said with a faint smile: "Then it's troublesome sister-in-law, Rusheng will go." ”

Old Madam Qi looked at the two of them with a kind smile, and said lightly: "Go, go early and come back early." ”

Lord Shucheng and Shu Rusheng both saluted to Mrs. Qi, and then slowly retreated together.

Shu Rusheng looked at the county lord Shucheng along the way, but he didn't say a word. Wait for them to enter the palace gate and get out of the carriage. Shucheng County mainly went to ask the Queen Mother to say goodbye first, and then asked the grandmother next to her to take Shu Rusheng to the queen's bedroom. Shu Rusheng slowly followed behind the grandmother according to the rules, and glanced at the county lord Shucheng before leaving.

Seeing that her figure was gradually disappearing, Lord Shucheng didn't mean to get up, but looked at Shu Rusheng's figure with a frown. The maid next to him auspiciously said, "County Lord, let's go." ’

Lord Shucheng came over in a panic when he heard the voice, and said to Yueru: "Jixiang, did you say that I have seen her before, I always feel familiar." ”

Ji Xiang watched the figure gradually disappear, and shook his head: "The slave has followed you since childhood, but Miss Rusheng, the slave has never seen her elsewhere, but I always feel that she is weird, different from the young ladies of other families, but she is cautious everywhere, probably because she is not an official eunuch"

Lord Shucheng listened to her, nodded and said, "That's right, I also think she's different." Every time she saw me, she seemed to be afraid of something, reserved and careful. Probably because I'm suspicious. ”

Jixiang dragged Shucheng County Master to the Empress Dowager's dormitory, and Shucheng County Lord took another look at the figure for the last time, and then went in the direction that Jixiang pulled.
