"Oh, that's right, then I'll have to ask my aunt to wait a while," Su Qingmo turned around and motioned for two of the guards at the door to move the medicinal herbs from the carriage. He took out a list full of medicinal herbs from his sleeve pocket and handed it to them, and said, "You should check it according to the list above, and remember, you must check it carefully." If there is a lack of medicinal materials, or if there is a lack of portions, you have to record them one by one, and let this aunt take them back to the Queen Mother for a while, so that the Queen Mother will know which flavors of medicinal materials still need to be supplemented. ”

"Yes, Princess!" the two guards went.

Qiu'er on the side heard her command, and the corners of her bloodshot mouth couldn't help twitching a few times, her face changed from the original pale to red, and she didn't hold back, and spit out a mouthful of blood, she vomited blood this time purely because of Su Qingmo's words.

Half an hour passed, and the two guards counted all the medicinal materials against the above list one by one, and finally determined that none of them were missing, and the amount was enough.

When Su Qingmo heard this, she was slightly disappointed, so she could only order them to move all the medicinal materials into the inner hall, while she stood at the gate and watched Qiu'er and the others follow behind the carriage and leave.

After returning to the inner hall, she looked at the pile of medicinal materials in the house, carefully examined them, and found that the quality of these medicinal materials was of the highest level, and it seemed that the queen mother had not fooled her.

She expressed her satisfaction.

However, why did that man go to the Snow Moon Hall to stay?

Snow Moon Temple

Li Qing was playing against himself in a pavilion on the edge of the small lake, while Xia Lianyun was sitting on the sidelines drinking tea and watching his chess moves.

No one in the pavilion spoke, only the sound of Liqing occasionally dropping chess pieces.

and Xia Lianyun's eyes that implied tenderness and sweetness were following as Liqing moved.

When he heard the movement of the carriage coming back, Li Qing raised his eyes and saw that it was Qiu'er and those people who were following the carriage towards them.

Looking at the blood stains on the corners of the palace maid's mouth, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. Then he retracted his gaze and continued to play his chess.

But the Empress Dowager Xia on the side couldn't sit still.

Looking at Qiu'er, who was seriously injured, Tie Qing asked with a small face, "Qiu'er, what's going on? Who beat you like this?"

Qiu'er, who was originally able to stand firm on her own, immediately felt like she was about to lose her breath, collapsed at Xia Lianyun's feet, pulled the corner of her skirt, and complained intermittently: "Queen Mother, you have to be the master of the slave maid, the slave maid just said the wrong word, and was seriously injured by the guard of the national teacher." However, the slave and maid didn't think there was anything wrong with the slave's words, the queen mother, the slave and maid were wronged, ...... "After speaking, she secretly observed the reaction of the man in white next to her.

Xia Lianyun also glanced at Liqing at this time, and saw that he didn't react, so she reprimanded with a small face: "Shut up, A-Qing's guards are naturally much wiser than ordinary guards, it must be because you didn't speak well by yourself that provoked them......"

Qiu'er hurriedly shook her head and refused: "No, the Queen Mother, the slave ......"

Xia Lianyun waved her hand to interrupt her words: "Then tell me first, which sentence did you say wrong?"

"The slave maid just took the initiative to say hello to Miss Anyun when she saw her appear, but who knew that the guard suddenly ......" Speaking of this, Qiu'er shuddered and put on a scared look.

"Oh, that's not a big deal. Xia Lianyun chuckled, looked up at Li Qing, who was undecided, and said with a smile: "Ah Qing, it seems that you are really strict with your subordinates." ”

Liqing didn't look at her, but glanced at Qiu'er, and asked in a cold voice, "How did you say hello?"

"Slave maid......" Qiu'er was shocked by his unwavering eyes, and lowered her head and didn't dare to tell the truth. If the National Teacher knew that she was greeting Na Anyun as a peer, the National Teacher would definitely be very angry, and then his own little life would be ......

"Huh...... Ah Qing, it's just a greeting, and it's just those two sentences, what else can I do? There must be some misunderstanding here, don't take it too seriously. Xia Lianyun probably guessed a few points when she saw her appearance, so she smiled and interrupted.

Liqing still didn't pay attention to what she meant, stared at Qiu'er, and spit out a word expressionlessly: "Say." ”

Qiu'er couldn't help but shudder: "Go back...... When the teacher returned to China, the slave maid saw Miss An Yun, and just greeted her, Miss An Yun was good, and she was kicked out by the guard brother before she could say the second sentence. ”

"Is that so?" asked Liqing as he raised his eyes to the palace maids outside the pavilion.

It was obviously just a very plain sentence, but it made those palace maids suddenly feel a lot of pressure, and they all began to tremble.

"What? Are you all dumb? Even if you are dumb, it is useless to keep your tongue, it is better to pluck it clean and save yourself space. ”

When the palace maids heard this, they were all immediately frightened and knelt on the ground and began to beg for mercy: "The national teacher spares his life, the national teacher spares his life......"

Li Qing raised his eyebrows slightly: "Well, it turns out that I can speak." If she can speak, then repeat what she just said to this palace. ”

At this time, a bold palace maid hurriedly spoke: "Yes, Master Guoshi, Qiu'er used her own first person when she greeted Miss An Yun, which angered the two guard brothers." ”

Qiu'er's face turned pale when she heard this, Xia Lianyun's eyes flashed a few times, and she already knew a little, so she secretly glared at Qiu'er beside her, signaling her to be restless.

Li Qing nodded, raised his hand and rubbed his delicate chin: "Hmm, what else?"

Another palace maid said weakly: "Sister Qiu'er's attitude when she greeted us was not very good, as if she usually talked to us. ”

"Hmm, anything else?"

Sister Qiu'er also secretly glared at Miss An Yun several times. Another palace maid stood up and exposed Qiu'er's crime.

Liqing nodded again, turned to look at Xia Lianyun: "Okay, the specific situation has been clearly understood by the palace, and the queen mother has also understood it clearly?"

The smile on Xia Lianyun's face was a little stiff at this time, she raised her foot and kicked Qiu'er, who was crying on the hem of her skirt, and got up and came to Liqing: "I naturally understand it clearly, but Qiu'er, this girl is usually spoiled by me, A-Qing, if you want to punish you, then even I will be punished." ”

"Hehe, the Queen Mother is really joking, the so-called dog beating depends on the master, she is just a girl, how can this palace care about her. However, the girl An Yun in your mouth will become the princess of this palace in the near future. Remembering your ignorance of the first offense, this time I will forgive you. But the next time you meet the princess of this palace, you can give this palace a respectful and honorific title of her leaving the princess. Otherwise, if you are disrespectful to her, it will be as if you were disrespectful to the palace. Whoever is disrespectful to this palace, what will happen to them, you can ask your master a thing or two. When Li Qing said these words, he always had a cold smile on his face, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, his tone was very relaxed, but anyone could see that the national teacher was angry.

"Yes!

Listening to his words, Xia Lianyun's face became more and more ugly, but she couldn't help it, so she could only force a smile and persuade: "Ah Qing, why are you so angry? That girl An Yun hasn't married you after all, if you let these subordinates call her the princess now, if it reaches the ears of some well-intentioned people, wouldn't it be tantamount to ruining her reputation?"

Li Qing held a chess piece in his hand and slowly fell down in a vacant space on the chessboard, and said: "It's okay, as a woman in this palace, how can you mind such trivial matters." ”

Xia Lianyun's face stiffened again when she heard this, and she couldn't even maintain the last hint of laughter: "However, how can I say that this An Yun girl's identity background at this time is also relatively sensitive, if these rumors are added, it will also have some impact on your future status." ”

Li Qing observed the chess game with his eyes, and did not notice Xia Lianyun's stiff and tangled expression behind him: "It's okay, in the eyes of this palace, fame and fortune are just floating clouds, and they are never worth mentioning." ”

"But now you are the most honorable national teacher in the Celestial Empire, you can't care less......"

At this time, Li Qing had already dropped the last chess piece, raised his hand and shouted to the outside: "Qing San." I don't know if he did it on purpose, but in short, his call just interrupted Xia Lianyun's words.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Qing San had already appeared in front of Liqing, knelt down on one knee and said, "Master, my subordinates are here." ”

"Go and get ready for the carriage and go back to the Dust Palace. After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the pavilion.

"Yes!"

When Xia Lianyun heard this, she immediately stopped in front of him: "Ah Qing, you promised me ......"

Li Qing looked at the woman in front of him who was calculating all the time, there was a deep darkness hidden in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a wicked smile: "Are you sure that this palace promised you?"

Xia Lianyun looked slightly stunned, and when she came back to her senses, Li Qingzao had already avoided her and left directly.

"Ah Qing, how can you deceive me and deceive me like this?" Xia Lianyun turned her head to look at the back of the carriage that was about to disappear, the original tenderness in her eyes was gradually replaced by a touch of ruthlessness, and she whispered these two words: "An Yun, An Yun ......"

Green Dust Temple

Qing Yi ran to Su Qingmo, who was taking a leisurely walk in the garden, with a happy face, and said, "Princess, the master is back, the master is back." ”

Su Qingmo was originally pulling a flower and was about to bow her head to smell the fragrance, but because of Qingyi's words, the delicate flower was torn off by her and fell to the ground.

Looking at the bright red flowers that fell to the ground, Su Qingmo's brows furrowed slightly, and he reprimanded Qing Yi: "Your master didn't go to a place where there is no return, what is so strange that he will come back when he comes back?"

Qingyi scratched his head: "Princess, don't your subordinates want to surprise you." It's just that the princess's face doesn't seem to have the surprised expression he expected, why is that?

"Why are you in a daze? Hurry up and get out of the way, it's all in my way. Su Qingmo pushed Qingyi to the side, and he took the flower and continued to walk slowly along the road.

Qing Yi chased after him in a few steps: "Princess, the master is back, and he is waiting for you to go back in your room, why don't you go back?"

"The sun is so good today, I haven't had enough sun, what are I going to do when I go back?"

"But my lord, he's waiting for you to go back in his room. ”

Su Qingmo glanced at him and ignored him, he said it so clearly, he didn't understand it, who can blame him?

As soon as Qing saw that she ignored herself, she exerted her cheeky spirit and began to follow Su Qingmo's side and pestered her back and forth: "Princess, you can go back." ”

"Princess, you won't be angry with your master, your subordinates promise you that your master will never betray you!"

"Princess, the sun is about to set now, you should go back. ”

"Princess......" Qing saw that she still had no intention of going back, so she was ready to make persistent efforts, but who knew that Su Qingmo suddenly stopped her steps at this time and turned to look at him.

Qing Yi's heart was a little furious when she saw it, and his heartbeat was also a little accelerated, he raised his hand and touched his cheek, and then said a little unnaturally: "What is the princess doing when she looks at her subordinates like this, but what is there on her subordinates' faces that has not been washed?"

Su Qingmo nodded: "I saw two big characters written on your face." "Stupid!

"Words, what words?" Qing Yi obviously didn't believe it, but when he met Su Qingmo's serious eyes, he couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe both sides of his face.

Su Qingmo looked at the two sides of his face that was gradually reddened, looking like a monkey's buttocks, and seeing that his skin was thick enough, he couldn't help laughing.

"Alright, don't wipe it, I'm kidding you. ”

"Huh?" Qingyi wailed: "Princess, can you not use this kind of thing to tease your subordinates in the future? ”

"Just you, still a small heart, I look at you, the whole thing is a black-hearted radish, it's black!" Su Qingmo glanced at him, turned around and began to walk back.

"Ah, princess, you have wronged your subordinates, and your subordinates are obviously ...... Princess, you have finally decided to go back, great, as long as you are willing to go back, your subordinates will be willing even if they grow into a black-hearted radish. ”

Hearing this, Su Qingmo stopped again, turned to look at him, and said with a serious expression: "Qingyi, I hope you can understand that I am going back now, not because your master is waiting for me there, but because my walking task today has been completed, I have to go back to rest for a while, and then have dinner." ”

Qing Yi was amused by her serious look and smiled: "Princess, you can really laugh." "It's really interesting that I'm in a hurry to go back to see my master, but I want to find such a reason to convince him.

Su Qingmo looked at him expressionlessly and smiled, and when he couldn't laugh anymore, he continued: "Qingyi, you remember, when I'm not joking, I never laugh." ”

She still had the same serious look on her face as she had just now, but it made Qingyi's back chill a little.

"Uh......"

And this scene just made the Qing who came out to find her see it clearly.

I saw that his body suddenly froze in place, and the hand that had stretched forward to call her fell weakly. I watched the two figures drift away in a daze.

Su Qingmo returned to the room and saw that the dishes and chopsticks had been set up on the table, and he saw that the familiar dishes were still steaming, obviously not long after the pot was cooked.

After scanning the room, she didn't see Liqing's figure, and she didn't think there was anything strange, so she walked to the washing place and cleaned her hands, then sat down at the table and began to eat.

Well, with such a familiar taste, it seems that these dishes are all made by him. It seems that in the past few days since he left, his cooking skills have not been wasted, which is a good advantage.

As soon as Li Qing stepped into the door, he saw the fragrance of her food, and the satisfied look on her face when she ate the food she had made herself, and the depression that had just formed in his heart immediately dispersed.

With a smile on his face, he walked up to her and sat down, pretending to complain: "You woman, are you still a little polite, Bengong has worked hard to prepare a meal for you, and you don't wait for Bengong to start together, why did you eat it yourself." ”

Su Qingmo took the chopsticks in his hand, looked at him and said, "You mean that if you don't show up when you eat in the future, I will have to wait for you hungry, right?"

Li Qing listened to her serious words, and the smile on his face gradually retracted, and he sighed lightly: "This palace is just joking with you, why do you want to be so serious?"

"Joke?" Su Qingmo frowned, thought sideways for a while, and then nodded: "Oh, I understand, it turned out to be a joke." ”

"......" Liqing was blocked by the words behind her, he always felt that this woman was angry with himself, and there was something in his words. But I feel that I have thought too much, and I still remember that the old man once said that when a woman reaches the middle of pregnancy, her emotions will be a little unstable and she will be very insecure.

She should be going through this stage now, it doesn't matter, I will accompany her more during this time.

When Su Qingmo put down the chopsticks, Liqing was still eating.

She didn't sit at the table and wait for him to get off the table as usual, but got up and prepared to wash up first.

Li Qing saw that she was going to wash the place, so she hurriedly threw down her chopsticks and ran over: "You have just finished eating, you should take a walk around this house first, eliminate your food, and then go to wash after a while." ”

Su Qingmo nodded: "I know, you go to dinner." ”

Li Qing glanced at his own bowl of rice, which was still half a bowl left, and thought that the woman in front of him had said that she didn't like to waste food when others were eating.

He sat down at the table and began to cook again.

Su Qingmo walked into the washing place as usual, and Liqing thought she was taking a walk, so she didn't stop her.

When he put down the dishes and chopsticks, Su Qingmo had already cleaned himself up, and began to walk slowly in the house.

Li Qing came to her side, holding her waist with one hand, and his nose faintly smelled a touch of fragrance emanating from her. He frowned, "You've already washed?"

Su Qingmo nodded: "Well, you have to wash it sooner or later anyway, and it's the same to come for a walk after washing." ”

"How can this be the same? Hongu asked you to wash later, just thinking that Hongu would come to wash you up later. You are still pregnant with a child, it is best not to go into the water easily, even if it is hot water, it is not good for your health if you touch too much. ”

Su Qingmo smiled when she heard this: "How can it be as serious as you say, then according to what you say, if you are not by my side in the future, then I will not have to wash for a few days and nights?" After speaking, she looked down at her feet, and a touch of sarcasm flashed on her slightly drooping eyes.

Because it was cold outside, Li Qing took her back and forth in the house, and said a sentence or two from time to time: "What have you been busy with in the past few days when Bengong is away?

Su Qingmo glanced at him: "Yes." ”

Liqing's eyes lit up: "Oh, what do you miss about this palace?"

"Thinking about how much you're going to have to come back, I think I have a few days to be free. ”

Li Qing looked at her speechless for a while: "Su Qingmo, you really don't like people." ”

When Su Qingmo heard this, she was silent for a while: "If you like it, if you don't like it, if you don't like it, why should I deliberately please you and change your mind?"

Li Qing's steps froze, and he looked sideways at the woman snuggled in his arms, because Su Qingmo was hanging his head slightly at the moment, so he also deliberately lowered his head to see the look on her face at this time.

Su Qingmo noticed his move, looked up at him, and raised her eyebrows: "What's wrong?"

Li Qing looked directly into her eyes, quietly observing the changes in the expression on her face.

Su Qingmo saw that he didn't speak, just looked at himself, so he pushed him a little impatiently: "Okay, you go wash up." I'm sleepy, so go to bed first. ”

Liqing didn't move, still staring at her.

"Hey, what are you doing? Su Qingmo urged him again.
