"The concubine has arrived!"

With Yahuan's announcement, Concubine Sheng walked out solemnly.

Hua Xiao and Li Qing stood up to greet them.

Li Qing hadn't seen the portrait of the concubine beforehand, but he also heard that she was once one of the most beautiful concubines in the palace, and before Hua Xiao was born, she once favored the harem.

Although she is now more than forty years old, she is still plump and graceful, her body shape is well-maintained, her skin is fair and delicate, her ten fingers are slender and white, even if her makeup is elegant, it is still difficult to hide her once beautiful and fragrant appearance.

Li Qing felt that when the concubine was young, she should be much more beautiful than Sheng Shan'er today, no wonder the son she gave birth to was as handsome as the dragon and phoenix among people. It's just that this senior beauty probably doesn't have a good impression of her now.

Waiting for Concubine Sheng to take her seat, Hua Xiao glanced at Li Qing slightly, and then knelt on the ground respectfully and kowtowed to Concubine Sheng: "My son asks my mother to say goodbye." ”

Li was stunned for a moment.

The social etiquette of the ancient dynasty was complicated, but Li Qing had been in the past for more than three years, and he had never knelt down to anyone.

If there are any disadvantages of surrogate marriage, it is that you have to kneel in front of a specific person.

is to experience acting, and she is now playing Princess Yi. Thinking about it like this, Li Qing felt much better, and learned from Hua Xiao's appearance, knelt next to him and kowtowed to Concubine Sheng: "Chengya asks for peace to the concubine." ”

On the side, Mama Autumn Leaves took the tray in Yahuan's hand and handed two cups of tea to Hua Xiao and Li Qing.

Hua Xiao toasted the tea first, and when it was Li Qing's turn, Concubine Sheng stared at her face lightly for a while, but she didn't reach out to take the teacup.

Li Qing was prepared that she might be troubled, and she had made up her mind to avoid it, so as not to spend too much energy on the battle in the back house and delay her business. Therefore, from the beginning of her kneeling, the expression on her face did not change at all, her eyebrows were lowered, and she looked docile and pampered, as if if the concubine had not taken the cup, she could have been kneeling here.

However, Hua Xiao was a little breathless, pretending to have a dry and itchy throat, and coughed lightly.

The corners of Concubine Sheng's mouth twitched slightly, glanced at her son, reached out and took the cup in Li Qing's hand, took a sip of tea, and put the cup back into the tray in Mama Akiba's hand.

"Mourning is tired, go down." Concubine Sheng sighed and waved her hand.

Hua Xiao saw that the first meeting between Concubine Sheng and Li Qing could pass so easily and peacefully, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately said: "The mother concubine is resting, and the son is retiring." ”

Li Qing was also a little surprised, but after thinking about it, this situation was reasonable, and the concubine should have let her go for the time being for Hua Xiao's sake.

Anyway, in the future, her main place of activity will not be in the back house of King Yi's mansion, as long as the concubine and the county lord do not make things difficult for her, she will not take the initiative to make trouble; Until she gets her business done, it would be nice if everyone could maintain a semblance of peace.

Li Qing still followed Hua Xiao with low eyebrows, and said goodbye to the concubine in a measured manner.

Walking out of Chunhui Garden, she exhaled a long breath towards the bright morning sun: Sure enough, the role of obedient little daughter-in-law is not suitable for her, it is too restrained.

She only cared about feeling the refreshment of not having to play the obedient little daughter-in-law, and Hua Xiao, who didn't notice it, had already noticed her small movements, and her handsome face showed a touch of helplessness and crying and laughing that he didn't realize himself, and in an instant, his slightly lonely and cold facial features were softened.

At the same time, in Chunhui Garden, there was also a person who was paying close attention to the situation after the two walked out.

After listening to Yahuan's description of Hua Xiao's face, Concubine Sheng frowned and said, "When the prince returns to the house in the evening, let him come over." ”

Mama Akiba said, "You want to ......"

Concubine Sheng's soft eyes flashed with a cold light: "He must know: for a person who is about to die, he must not be emotional!" ”
