Chapter 222: Qi Kite
I don't know what my father is thinking, but he suddenly remembered to hand over an invitation to the Changping General's Mansion, if the two girls are to fight each other, then wouldn't their Qingping County Palace, Anjia and the General's Mansion just turn their faces?
Qi Yuan fiddled with the jewelry she was going to wear tomorrow, her fingers stopped in front of the crested hairpin, her eyes lit up, she turned her head and asked happily towards the county lord of Qingping: "Mother, tomorrow is my eleventh birthday, will the prince's cousin come?" β
The county lord of Qingping trembled, and he didn't know why this little ancestor suddenly mentioned His Royal Highness the Prince.
She didn't need to send someone to invite at all, knowing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been helping His Majesty deal with state affairs recently, where can she have time to attend a little girl's birthday ceremony?
But he didn't say this directly to Qi Kite, just because this daughter was too disobedient, if she said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not come at this time, then I don't know what trouble she would make tomorrow, so it was better to coax people first, at least wait until after tomorrow.
So, she said: "Mother doesn't know, but I have sent the invitation to the prince's mansion, and if His Royal Highness the prince is free, he will definitely come to attend my kite's birthday." β
Of course, if she is not free, then she has no choice, even if her daughter is angry again, she can't blame her as a mother.
Now use His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to suppress her first.
"Got it."
Sure enough, after listening to the words of the county lord of Qingping, Qi Kite's fingers immediately moved away from the crested hairpin, and his eyes were reluctant to stare at it several times, even if he liked it, he also pulled it into tomorrow's blacklist.
This phoenix hairpin was specially rewarded to her by the current Emperor Guifei Niangniang when she entered the palace once, and I heard that it was a new thing specially researched by the famous craftsmen in the palace, and she was the only one in Kyoto who had received this kind of gift, even if it was a royal noblewoman.
She had wanted to go out tomorrow with the crested hairpin and walk in front of everyone so that they would envy her favor, but now he had to put this thought behind him, and he could no longer afford to hurt it.
Forget it, there are still many opportunities to show off to them in the future, but the prince's cousin hates swaggering the most.
Kicking the crested hairpin out of the choice, the county lord of Qingping made a difficulty between the peony hair ornament and the peony hair ornament, her heart is biased towards the peony hair, but the meaning of the peony hair ornament makes her feel compassion and can't refuse.
She had a difficult choice, and without hesitation, she handed over this choice question to the county lord of Qingping, who was sorting out the clothes he would wear tomorrow for him: "Mother, you said that these two hairstyles, which one should I bring tomorrow to be beautiful?" β
She compares the two hairstyles to the sides of her head.
Glamorous?
The county lord of Qingping couldn't cry or laugh, most of the people who came to her birthday tomorrow were eleven or twelve-year-old girls, where could they say that they were glamorous.
But looking at Qi Kite's expectant look, she couldn't directly pour a basin of cold water on her daughter, so she pretended to groan, frowned lightly and cautiously chose among the two hair accessories, and finally pointed to the peony on Qi Kite's right hand.
"Just peonies, only peonies can bring out my daughter's beauty and moving, and people are more delicate than flowers."
The meaning of the peony is too complicated, and she doesn't want her daughter to be trapped in the peony that is out of reach at a young age.
Qi Yuan was dissatisfied: "Why, my daughter thinks the peony is also very good-looking." β
She has been an arrogant character since she was a child, to change to the past, she doesn't have to choose between two hair accessories, she will hold both tightly in the palm of her hand, she likes peony on the one hand, but also feels that Peony can't give up.
The county lord of Qingping still replied before: "His Royal Highness the prince does not like to swagger the most, there is no master of the middle palace in the harem palace now, you listen to your mother, this peony flower is more suitable for you than peony." β
The king of Qingping has been confused and unhappy for a lifetime, but the only good thing he has done in his life is to give birth to a daughter who is knowledgeable and interesting.
Qi Yuan thought about it, it seemed that it was the same thing, in order not to violate the taboo of some people in the palace, no matter how reluctant she was, she had to put down the peony first.
Once you've chosen your jewelry and clothes, you'll have more than half of what you can do tomorrow.
Because Qi Yuan was still young, the county lord of Qingping couldn't dress her up too brightly, so he tried to dress people up in a normal direction.
From a distance, she looks like a beautiful little girl, although she doesn't stand out, but she also feels that people can't find anything wrong.
The county lord of Qingping withdrew her hand with satisfaction, looking at the joy that the corners of her daughter's eyes and eyebrows were rising, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she only hoped that this dress could reduce the attack under her daughter's eyes, so as not to cause discord between famous and noble women.
"Okay daughter, mother still has things to do today, for your birthday tomorrow, I can't make a mistake today, I'm going to keep an eye on the people below, you stay in the room and write down what Mama taught you." Before leaving, the county lord of Qingping gave two more instructions, and seeing that the time could not be delayed any longer, she hurriedly left from her daughter's yard.
Originally, according to Qi Kite's age, he was not qualified to hold such a grand birthday ceremony, but who made Qi Kite too popular with the king of Qingping County, and now the saint cherishes the royal brother who is close in front of him, so he opens one eye and closes one eye and lets them make trouble.
As soon as the county lord of Qingping left, who in the room could still suppress Qi Kite, seeing that the grandmother next to her looked embarrassed, she waved her hand directly in annoyance and said: "You go down, I don't need you here, if my mother blames, you will say that it is my idea." β
The old lady who came to teach the county lord breathed a sigh of relief, confessed her guilt, and hurriedly withdrew.
Without the old mother chattering in her ear, Qi Kite's mood gradually improved, even if she had chosen jewelry and clothes, she still couldn't hold the peony hair ornament put aside and compared it in her hair, and asked the girl next to her: "Do you think I look good wearing this peony?" β
Ula smiled: "Naturally, it is good-looking, according to the slave maid, at your age, there is no better girl in the whole of Kyoto than you." β
As for the little girls in the Dingking's Mansion and the General's Mansion, they were subconsciously kicked out of the list by Ula, who made them a year younger than the county lord.
Knowing that there was a lot of flattery in this remark, Qi Yuan was still very happy, she casually took out a silver indigo from her sleeve, not to mention two or three taels, and gave it to Ula generously.
"I love to hear you say this, do things by my side, I won't treat you badly."
Ula was naturally happy, and took the silver with both hands: "The slave will not disappoint the county lord." β
Because the Qi family is a well-known wealthy family in Kyoto, although there is no title inheritance, but because the sister-in-law of the family married the only daughter of today's holy brother, the lord of Qingping County, and became famous in Kyoto.
Every ornament used in the birthday ceremony, every dim sum made, was personally selected by the county lord of Qingping, in order to be able to hold up his daughter's faΓ§ade.
When he returned home, Qi Shi saw his wife, who had been busy all day, with her eyes slightly closed, half-leaning on the beauty couch and sleeping soundly.
Their Qi family is a merchant, and they will never wronged their families in terms of money, but in terms of identity, they are far lower than the Qingping County Palace.
If it weren't for the fact that he and the county lord of Qingping were in love with each other, the county lord of Qingping would not have risked the majesty of today's saint to marry him.
Therefore, Qi Shi always felt a little ashamed of his wife, originally she could have married a man with a higher status.
Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he didn't have the idea of disturbing, just lightly took the blanket next to her and covered her, and then turned back to the study to deal with the account book sent by Zhuangzi today.
On the way to the study, Qi Shi met an extremely beautiful girl, who was still holding a tonic soup specially boiled for her, and looking at the direction of the person, she came from his mother's side.
"Eldest son, this is the old lady's medicinal food specially boiled for you, and I specially asked the slave maid to send it while it is hot."
This maid's name is Lu Yi, she is the most beautiful girl in the entire Qi family, originally she was just a subordinate who did hard work in the outer courtyard, and then she didn't know how to climb up to the oldest old lady of the Qi family, and she turned over like a pheasant flying on a branch.
Lu Yi's heart was like a deer, her face was slightly red, her eyes were slightly shining, she lifted her eyelids and secretly observed Qi Shi's expression, and her eyes immediately shifted her gaze when she touched the person with a crown like jade.
She has come to deliver medicinal food for the fifth time this month, and she is by the old lady's side every day, so she naturally knows what the old lady means.
The old lady saw that she was in good shape, so she wanted to send her to the uncle as a waiter, so as to spread the branches and leaves for the Qi family.
If it were someone else, she didn't want to do it in her heart, thinking that the reason why she chose the old lady as a support was that she didn't want to be a concubine for those masters who only had gangsterism.
But if the object is changed to an uncle, she is willing to ...... a thousand and ten thousand in her heart
Just when her heart was beating slightly fast and her mind was cranky, Qi Shi in front of her didn't look at her, and left after throwing down a sentence elsewhere.
He said, "Even if the toxins in the medicinal diet are not removed, you go back and tell your mother that she doesn't have to send you again, and she doesn't have to let anyone come." β
"The old lady is also worried about the uncle's body, the slave ......"
Lu Yi couldn't help but stay, so she saw Qi Shi striding away, not looking at her from beginning to end, she couldn't help but feel aggrieved in her heart, and she freed up a hand to caress her tender face, and for a while her heart was even more bitter.
It doesn't matter what kind of medicine the county lord of Qingping gave the uncle, in the past ten years, even if the county lord has only one daughter under his knees, he has not seen the uncle say a word.
Only the old lady was in a hurry, for fear that the county lord of Qingping would be injured because he gave birth to a big girl ten years ago, and he would not be able to have children from now on, so he tried his best to stuff people in the courtyard of his home.
But looking at the uncle's cold temperament, she thought that the old lady's idea would definitely not be realized, as long as the county lord of Qingping did not let go, the uncle would not have the idea of taking a concubine.
