After five days of goose feather snow, it finally stopped invading the capital, and the sun was shining brightly.

When the sun was rising, Xue Hainiang got up early to wash up as usual, dressed by Mingxi, and went to Tanyuan at about Mochen.

Xue Hainiang also thought that Xue Qiaoling, who had always been like the Lin family, must be as late as the Lin family, but as soon as she stepped into the hall, she saw Xue Qiaoling wearing a dignified and delicate Tianshui blue sleeve long-sleeved fairy dress, and there was no excessive brocade embellishment on the skirt panel, and a bright and pretty face was only painted with green daisy, slightly applied with fat powder, and her plump lips were slightly crimson, which seemed to be very different from her with plain and heavy makeup.

She sat on the futon, smiling like a flower, and her gestures were not dignified and elegant, but there was a trace of her own agility and charm.

As soon as she saw Xue Hainiang walking over, she hurriedly got up and greeted her with a smile, and bowed, "Qiaoling has seen the eldest sister, the eldest sister is fine." ”

Xue Hainiang raised her lips and chuckled, "I have a heart." After that, Xue Hainiang saluted Mrs. Xue again, "Hainiang has seen grandmother, grandmother Wanfu Jin'an." ”

Old Madam Xue sighed lightly, "This back house is uneasy for a day, how can the old body come to Wanfu Jin'an." ”

When Xue Qiaoling heard this, her pretty face suddenly turned white, she hurriedly leaned over and knelt on the ground, and said in fear: "Qiaoling knows that her mother has lost her sense of proportion and bearing this time, Qiaoling is deeply saddened and disappointed, and now, her mother has been punished as she deserves, and she hopes that grandma will be angry, don't be angry because of her mother." ”

Old Madam Xue shook her head lightly, with a little disappointment and tiredness between her eyebrows, "The old body has always had high hopes for her, but unexpectedly, it is to raise her to be so arrogant and ruthless now, and the old body should not ...... It's you. After that, his eyes fell on the slender man kneeling on the white jade brick, "It's very gratifying that you can comprehend the old body like this, now that the Lin family has been demoted to a maid, she is no longer worthy of you to call her a mother, and in the future, the Li family will be your only mother-in-law." ”

The delicate back trembled, and Xue Qiaoling said, "Qiaoling knows." ”

Xue Hainiang smiled and said at the right time: "Grandmother, Qiaoling has also passed the age of the Emperor, so she will not lose her proportions." ”

Old Madam Xue lowered her eyes and sighed lightly, and said lightly: "It's cold on the ground, it's not good for your knees to knees after kneeling for a long time, get up quickly." ”

Xue Qiaoling secretly breathed a sigh of relief and stood up tremblingly.

At this time, the Li family came in a walk, and when he learned that he was late, the Li family hurriedly gave an apologetic salute, but Mrs. Xue was extremely tolerant this time and did not feel embarrassed.

The four of them sat in the Ming Hall, each with some thoughts, and finally the old lady sighed, "After all, it is empty", and on the grounds of tiredness, she ordered the Li family to retreat, leaving only Xue Hainiang and Xue Qiaoling.

As soon as Li left, Mrs. Xue made a gesture to the grandmother who was waiting behind her, and the grandmother immediately entered the inner room, and after a while, she saw her come out respectfully with a purple gold box in her hand, she followed Mrs. Xue's previous instructions, and held the purple gold box to Xue Hainiang and Xue Qiaoling, and said with a smile: "Please open the box for the eldest lady." ”

Xue Hainiang smiled and opened the box with her own hands, and what appeared inside was a silver gilt blood jade phoenix crown and a gold jewel fire phoenix crown.

Mrs. Xue smiled, her eyebrows were kind, "In a little half a month, it will be the time when the two of you enter the palace, the old body was born in the countryside, although Jing Zheng is angry, but the family background is really not richer than ordinary people, this phoenix crown is the old body gave you two sisters, I hope that in the future, your sisters will shine on the lintel as soon as possible, and the green clouds will go straight up." ”

Xue Hainiang and Xue Qiaoling both bowed to each other, and after taking the phoenix crown, they instructed the maid to put it away.

"The old body is tired, let's come here today, you two go back to rest and raise, don't disappoint the old body and your father when you enter the palace in the future. Old Madam Xue said solemnly.

"Hai Niang will not disappoint her grandmother and father. ”

"Qiao Ling will definitely be as her grandmother and father wished, and she will enter the palace in the future and do everything, be in the position of concubine, and soar. ”

——

The night is lonely, the stars are fragmented, a waning moon hangs high, and the moonlight shines brightly.

In the remote streets and alleys of Jingshi, a woman wearing a black cloak hides in a deep house.

The window lattice is half-hidden, and the faint light seeps into the inner room through the bright paper pasted on the window lattice, which makes it look particularly bright.

A woman dressed in a purple curl skirt sits in front of the embroidery frame, the slender hand holds the embroidery basket, and the slender and agile finger holds the silver needle and shuttles quickly on the embroidery basket.

The maid walked into the inner room, bowed slightly behind her and said, "The slave has seen the girl." ”

Mei Qi raised her eyes and smiled: "It's getting late, why don't you rest?"

The maid said softly: "There is a woman outside who says that she is your sister and wants to see you. ”

Mei Qi was apprehensive for a while, and only after a while did she see her and say, "Let her in." ”

After a while, the maid led the woman in the black cloak, and under the faint flame and candle, she slowly took off the cloak and hat on her head, revealing a delicate face, which was the green radish serving the Lin family.

Mei Qiwei wrinkled her eyebrows and told the maid to close the door and guard outside.

After the maid left, Qingluo sneered, "Didn't you expect that I would come to see you at this time?" ”

Mei Qi lowered her eyes and whispered, "I ......"

Before she could say anything, she saw Qingluo and said: "I never thought that my good sister is really a person who is very good at climbing dragons and phoenixes, seeing that Xu's power is strong, she didn't even let go of the dog under her hand, and climbed to Shangguan Yi so quickly." ”

Mei Qi was busy defending herself, "Eldest sister, Mei Qi knows that she is guilty of a lot of sin, which has caused Aunt Lin and her eldest sister to suffer, but Mei Qi has no way out...... "Before she could say anything, Qingluo was slapped on her face, and the strength was so great that it was a deep finger mark on the white and greasy skin.

"Do you know that your aunt was punished into the West Garden, and there is no place to turn over, you are not only guilty, you are simply dead. Qingluo was furious.

Mei Qi subconsciously covered her lower abdomen, her face was painful and resolute, "I am two months pregnant, please take a look at the child in my womb and give me a chance to atone for my sins." ”

Hearing this, Qingluo's expression on her face softened slightly, and a light arc rose slightly between her lips, "Okay, you and I are connected by blood, flesh and blood, I can't bear to blame you." You are pregnant now, and it is too cold on the green mud stone slab, so don't freeze. After that, he lowered her body and helped her up, smiling like a flower, "Since you have such an awareness, the eldest sister really has something to ask you for help, I don't know what you think, sister?"

Mei Qi recruited talents and said: "Mei Qi is going to the soup and fire, and he will not give up." ”

Qingluo smiled brightly and motioned for her to come over.

After Qingluo explained everything, she put on her cloak and walked away, the moment she opened the door, she saw that there was no one outside, she looked back at Mei Qi and asked, "I remember that you told the maid to stay outside, why is she gone?"

Mei Qi didn't pay attention, only twisted her eyebrows slightly, and said lightly: "Xu is tired, go back to the room to rest." "The maid was found by Shangguan Yi from the Xue Mansion, and she was used to serving the lady of the Xue Mansion, and now she came to serve a lowly woman like her at first glance, and it is normal to despise her.

Qingluo saw that it was getting late and stopped lingering, and left in a hurry.
