As a simple green cloth carriage drove out of the regent palace and went in the direction of the imperial mausoleum in the northern suburbs, the turmoil at the Zhongyuan Festival finally came to an end quietly.

According to Qi Heng's meaning, the Liu family should have died with a foot of white silk or a cup of poisonous wine, but it was only said that he died of a violent illness, which is not surprising.

It's just that Pei Bao'er thought in her heart that Jin Qiao and the others who were said to have been beaten to a bloody point that day, and she always felt frightened, and she didn't want to kill again, not to mention that this was still in July, and she always felt uncomfortable.

Qi Heng didn't want to agree, but she persuaded Qi Heng on the grounds that she couldn't make any waves for her son Jifu and Liu's family, so Qi Heng took a step back and sent Liu's family to guard the tomb. The imperial tomb is bitter, and it is very far away from the capital, this Liu family is just an ordinary small family, so it is naturally impossible to make any more trouble.

As soon as this incident was over, people who were a little more well-informed in Beijing knew about it, or rather, guessed the general situation.

Oh, it turned out to be the little thing in the inner house.,Understand and understand.。 sighed for the fateful Princess Pei again, and went to visit the patients one after another to express her heart.

Pei Baoer still went her own way, and gave most of the people back, only a few people.

Among them, there is naturally the eldest princess Jinghe, who is close to her age and can say a few words of truth. She didn't go to the Zhongyuan Festival that day because of illness, and she couldn't see it with her own eyes, and in addition to visiting the sick on this day, she also had the meaning of solving the gossip, which made Pei Baoer a little speechless. It's just that she saw that the eldest princess Jinghe had a radiant face this time, and it was not like she was too sick to get out of bed a few days ago, so she had some suspicions in her heart, or the two princesses Kangning came to solve her confusion.

Princess Ning has a straightforward temperament, and she said in one sentence: "The eldest princess is afraid that because her identity is not suitable, she is afraid of embarrassing the princess, so she pretends to be sick." ”

It stands to reason that all royal clansmen are qualified to participate in this kind of ceremony, especially those who are at the bottom of the line, and it is a great honor to be able to stand on the side and stand in the last row. Although the princesses are female dependents, because of the aura of the royal family, even if they are married, they are said to be declining, not marrying into a certain family, so they can still come.

But the problem is that Jinghe is a widow, a ruthless widow who is suspected of killing her husband, and she is the queen mother of a neighboring country. The New Year's festival of the year when the eldest princess Jinghe just came back, the Ministry of Rites had already made a lot of noise about whether she could attend, and in the end, Jinghe took a step back, saying that she was sick and didn't go. This time it is estimated that it is the same routine.

It's just that Pei Bao'er looked at it, and when Princess Ning was talking the truth, Princess Kang, who was silent on the side, seemed to have other opinions, but she didn't say anything.

Later, when Medea came to visit the patient with Liu Yun's concern, she actually told Pei Baoer an ominous big gossip.

It's still related to Jing and the eldest princess.

"What? The eldest princess and her house will ......"

Pei Bao'er couldn't believe her ears.

"Yes, it is said that on the night of Qixi Festival, someone saw the eldest princess and a man changing into civilian clothes and putting river lanterns at the ferry on the other side of Dongcheng. He also said that the man looked a little familiar, but it was not the son and brother of any family, but someone from the eldest princess's mansion......"

Pei Bao'er said in her heart, it was such a coincidence, she walked around the market with Qi Heng and the little fat man that night, and she didn't even touch them, presumably because the time was staggered.

If it weren't for the fact that there were many people who knew, the fake princess who was born as a spy in Medea really didn't dare to tell Pei Baoer about it. When she mentioned this, it was also to let Pei Baoer have a psychological preparation in advance, and there would be no turmoil in the future.

Moreover, from Medea's own point of view, she felt that there was nothing wrong with Jing and this matter. Isn't it just that the widow is looking for a second spring, and the tribe in the north of them is open, and it doesn't matter at all. Not to mention that the royal princess remarried, it was the wife and concubine of King Beidi, and when the old king died, there were not a few who remarried the new king.

In addition to these few, the ladies of the Anhou family naturally want to see them, after all, they are just dirty things in the palace, and they can't fight with the eight poles of the Anhou Mansion, and the sachet of Mrs. Anhou Shizi can be regarded as saving her life.

Again, there is the Pei family.

Pei Baoer actually wanted to pretend to be sick and fool the past, but Beiyan chattered for a long time, and bothered her with Pei Zimeng's transfer, saying that it was an eventful time now, and the master had better see his mother's family, so as to calm their hearts, Yunyun. She had to reluctantly see it, and said a few polite words to the Yang family, who had given her a lot of faces when Pei Shu was a child, "inadvertently" mentioned Pei Zimeng, and said a few words of homely things, and then sent the person away under the excuse of "sudden dizziness".

I have to say that the Pei family did mean that it was a bit of a frightened bird.

Since Pei Zimeng's transfer came, Pei Shangshu immediately began to reflect on whether he was provoking the cold-faced son-in-law again, and then, in connection with Liu Guogong's impeachment, he began to wonder if the son-in-law had pitted his brother-in-law in order to appease Liu Guogong, and whether his daughter had fallen out of favor, and so on. After that, it was Pei Baoer's "violent illness", on the day of the Midyear Festival, the news in the palace came out, and when Pei Baoer didn't know whether he was alive or dead, almost everyone in the Pei family broke out in a cold sweat.

When leaving the palace, Ke Shi said to himself: "Look at the princess's complexion, it will not be long before she recovers." That's it. ”

Yang echoed twice, but he remembered his daughter Pei Yan, who was still grounded, and the crazy appearance of laughing in the room after she learned about it. Yang was so frightened that he almost ordered someone to tie her up and stuff a piece of cloth into her mouth, only worried that this daughter was crazy. It seems that the family affairs have to be hurried.

Just like Miss Pei Si, in addition to these people who care about Pei Baoer on the surface or really care about them, there are many people who see jokes in their hearts.

There are also charges such as the imperial history when the court participates in Qi Heng's lax housekeeping, but he was suddenly reprimanded by the little emperor who is only a mascot on weekdays, and just rightly performed a deep relationship between uncle and nephew in the court, which made many adults look very embarrassed, and sighed that the little emperor has grown up, sensible, and prosperous family and everything.

After the next dynasty, the little emperor even went out of the palace and went to the regent palace to visit the sick.

No matter how willful Pei Baoer is, no one dares to stop this distinguished guest, not to mention, people still follow Xiao Shizi into the door.

Pei Bao'er, who had already moved back to the main hospital to recuperate, was startled when she heard the news, and hurriedly asked people to change her clothes to meet the guests, not daring to hold it up, and she wanted to give a big salute to the little emperor in a proper manner, but was quickly helped up by the latter.

"Aunt Wang is unwell, why do you need to be so polite?"

The little emperor is still early from the voice change period, and his voice is brittle, but he has to work hard to reflect stability, and he has the appearance of a little adult.

After Pei Bao'er thanked her according to the rules, she didn't know what topic to find, so she had to bite the bullet and say: "At this point, shouldn't the emperor be in class?" Why did you suddenly leave the palace? All brought a few people......"

Qi Tan's little fat man grabbed the words and said: "Mr. Yan is not feeling well today, let us take a holiday~ I will invite the emperor to come to our house to play~"

Pei Baoer almost broke out in a cold sweat.

My stupid son, you can do this kind of thing by inviting the emperor to play at home.

The little emperor Qi Yu said solemnly: "Aunt Wang had an accident in the palace, and I was also uneasy, and I had been thinking about visiting Aunt Wang. ”

Then he said: "That day the incident happened suddenly, I shouldn't have moved the tired aunt, just rest in the palace." It's a pity that Uncle Wang didn't allow this. If I want to say it, Uncle Wang is too stubborn. ”

This is even more difficult to accept, Pei Baoer can only continue to deal with it with the routine of "panic" and "don't dare".

Before meeting the guests, Pei Baoer happened to instruct Beiyan and others to make a walnut and jujube mud cake, most of which were almost steamed at this time, in order to warm up the scene, she ordered someone to serve the cake and other refreshments together, and gave these two large and small diced radishes each a cup of roselle tea to match the snacks.

Qi Yu didn't plan to eat it, and the tea was just put down after dipping his lips, but the little fat man was very enthusiastic, and he was stunned to hand him a piece of cake, he was stunned for a moment, and made a decision in his heart, and he had to reluctantly bite half of it. After taking this bite, he was surprised to find that the taste was mellow and long, and it was not too sweet, which was just right for his taste.

Under the earnest gaze of the round-faced maid and the little fat man next to him, he couldn't help but finish a whole piece of cake, and then felt sweet and greasy, and couldn't help but stretch out his little hand and touch the slightly sweet flower tea that was still steaming.

When Qi Heng rushed back to the palace when he heard the news, he saw two diced radishes eating and drinking, one sitting like a clock, and the other like a sloth.

"The son of a daughter, he can't sit down. How could the emperor be so careless and leave the palace without permission with only one or two people? If you are a little careless, where will the emperor put the hundred officials, and where will you put your father and mother in the spirit of heaven? ”

For the first time, Pei Bao'er saw Qi Heng's really angry appearance, that face was like a thousand years of ice, but those eyes were on fire, like a swaying fire under the frozen cold pool, making the people who saw it feel inexplicably dangerous.

She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately the object of his anger was not herself, otherwise, she might not have the usual confidence to face it.

The little emperor was obviously a little at a loss, his little face was still stubborn, but when he heard the last sentence, his eyes were inexplicably red, and a trace of strange emotions seemed to pass quickly on his tense face, and then he blinked quickly, as if nothing had happened.

Qi Yu froze for a moment, but still arched his hand to Qi Heng, admitting his mistake and making amends: "What Uncle Wang taught is that he will not be like this in the future." ”

Pei Baoer felt that it didn't seem appropriate to say anything, so she had to quietly give her fat son a look and motioned for him to go up and warm up. Unexpectedly, this kid probably knew that he had done something wrong, and he was a thief, and when he saw Qi Heng today, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, and he didn't dare to step forward and interject.

The uncle and nephew stared at each other with ugly eyes for a moment, and Pei Baoer could only forcibly talk awkwardly: "Lord, the emperor came to visit the sick with good intentions, if there is a mistake, I am also half responsible." ”

Qi Heng gave her a look of "go away without you", of course, this was made up by Pei Bao'er herself, Qi Yu looked at her a little strangely when she heard it.

She was pondering, it seems that it is almost time for dinner at this time, should she take advantage of the situation to leave the little emperor down for a meal? Ordinary people come to the guests do this, but the guests are replaced by the noble son of heaven, or a ten-year-old little son, this meal always feels unspeakable, weird.

Qi Yu suddenly proposed, "Uncle Wang, I have a hard time getting out of the palace today, I wonder if I can take advantage of the situation to go to the Yongning Marquis Mansion to have a look?" I heard that my grandmother has not been in good health recently, if Uncle Wang can borrow a few guards......"

Seeing that the little emperor asked him to borrow an escort, he was not a fool, Qi Heng didn't think about it for long before agreeing, ordered Lei Ming and a few others to send Qi Yu over, and sent another person to the palace to deliver the letter.

After Qi Yu left, the little fat man was also reprimanded by Qi Heng with a black face, and he also doubled his big-character homework. He was very sad, and he was very envious that Qi Yu didn't need to be punished by his father for doing his homework at the moment, and he could go to his relatives' house to play, but he didn't have this kind of treatment.

However, at this time, Qi Yu, who was in the Yongning Marquis Mansion, was not as happy as the little fat man imagined.

He sat on the top with a solemn face, and the next middle-aged man said something carefully, and then, after a long silence, he spit out a sentence: "In this case, let it be according to my uncle's wishes." I am now walking on thin ice in the palace, and the only person I can rely on is my uncle. ”
