Chapter Thirty-Eight: Drying

"Say hello to my stepmother. Bai Xiyun shook Qi Miao's hand, and the two of them gave a big salute together.

Wan Guifei lazily propped up the table on the Luohan bed, glanced at it lightly, her eyes were cold, but it seemed to contain a lot of emotions. The opening was Su Mei's coquettishness: "Get up, sit down." ”

Bai Xiyun pulled Qi Miao and sat down in a circle chair on the side.

"Why did Brother Zhao come with you?"

"Thinking that Miao'er returned to the palace today, she was afraid of bumping into her stepmother, so she brought her here. ”

"What are you afraid of, this palace is not a flood beast, can you still eat her?" Wan Guifei smiled, as if she found Bai Xiyun learning to love her daughter-in-law very interesting, and when she looked at Qi Miao, she looked at her more: "You are the third girl of the Qi family?"

"Hui Niangniang's words, exactly. ”

"With Brother Zhao, let's call it the mother-in-law of this palace. ”

"Yes, thank you, stepmother. Qi Miao smiled and saluted.

Concubine Wan said: "It's a good place to be born, but how did this palace hear that you committed suicide before you left the palace?

Her tone was still faint, but the majesty revealed inadvertently had made Qi Miao nervous, secretly saying that it was never easy to mess around in the ancient court, and a woman who could be the emperor's favorite concubine would never be a simple woman.

Qi Miao was about to speak, but Bai Xiyun said, "Mother-in-law, there is something inside here." ”

Wan Guifei glanced at Bai Xiyun: "Let her say it herself, what do you say." ”

"I'm afraid that Miao'er won't say it well, won't it make you angry. Although Bai Xiyun's voice was not full of confidence, after the past few days of recuperation, he would no longer be out of breath at every turn.

Seeing that he had such a change, Concubine Wan's brows stretched a lot, and there was a gentle smile in her words, "Afraid of provoking the palace? I think you are a distressed daughter-in-law, and there is already a saying among the people that you forget your mother after marrying a daughter-in-law, but it is true." ”

If you look at Qi Miao, Wan Guifei's sentence is simply a pun on the stab.

But Bai Xiyun smiled calmly: "It's good for the stepmother to take her son, and the son won't forget it." ”

Wan Guifei Wan'er: "Okay, then you can tell the Qi clan what's going on." Anyway, whatever you say, this palace will believe it. ”

A sentence of "sweet words" put the original little arrogant concubine Niangniang to the table?

Qi Miao couldn't help but secretly sigh at Bai Xiyun's ability and Concubine Wan's favor for him.

When Bai Xiyun talked about those things, he actually replied to them in every detail, even the dirty agreement between Qi Yong and An Luhou.

Qi Miao's face burned red, and she quietly looked at Concubine Wan's expression, but saw that Concubine Niangniang was still dignified and elegant, as if she didn't feel that there was anything about it, and when Bai Xiyun finished speaking, she nodded and said, "This palace knows." ”

Qi Miao was even more embarrassed.

Although it is not her fault, she is the "curse" of the scarlet incident after all.

Wan Guifei turned to ask: "I see that your complexion is better than before." Is it really Miao'er's medical skills that work?"

The change in title flattered Qi Miao, knowing that the concubine believed Bai Xiyun's words, and she was not disgusted with her.

Bai Xiyun said with a smile: "My son has hired a doctor to live in the house permanently, and Miao'er takes care of me in every detail, and now the three meals a day are all the medicinal diets prepared by her, and my son does feel much better." ”

"That's good. And so as not to worry about the whole day. Wan Guifei turned to Qi Miao and smiled slightly, the smile was gentle and bright, and her tone was more gentle: "Miao'er, Brother Zhao will have to take care of it more in the future." ”

"That's what I have to do. Qi Miao smiled: "As long as Ah Zhao's body is better, there will be a rush in the future." ”

"Yes, he's well, and the days will be rushing. Wan Guifei muttered, and then ordered: "Sun Dequan, instruct the imperial dining room to prepare lunch." The palace wants to stay with the Hou Shizi and his wife. Prepare more light and warm supplements. ”

"Yes, slave and maid will do it. "Father-in-law Sun saluted and went.

Wan Guifei continued to talk to Qi Miao and Bai Xiyun gently.

Father-in-law Sun went down to order, specially passed by the outer room, stood in the courtyard and instructed the palace people: "Go to the imperial dining room to pass the meal, and the concubine Niangniang should leave Bai Shizi and his wife to eat." ”

Mrs. An Luhou sat on the side seat, and the tea soup in the enamel tea bowl in her hand had been injected into the four ways, and she had lost the taste of tea at all, and she didn't eat so much tea in one go, and she couldn't drink it until now, which shows how long Concubine Wan Guifei had dried her.

No matter how bad Mrs. An Luhou is, in addition to the old lady in the mansion, she is also a hostess, Bai Yongchun is ashamed of her, and she is too lazy to meddle in the affairs of the mansion, her status is needless to say, how can she have ever eaten this kind of hanging in her life?

Originally, he was already angry enough, and his grandson's father-in-law also shouted loudly for the imperial dining room to prepare lunch.

Mrs. An Luhou, who couldn't hold back any longer, stood up and put down the tea bowl with a little force.

Hearing the sound of the tea bowl touching the tabletop, Grandpa Sun came close with a smile on his face: "Oh, Mrs. An Luhou, what's the matter?

The words of reprimand had already reached his mouth, and Zhang still had some reason left, and asked with a temper: "Is the concubine Niangniang free at this time?"

Gonggong Sun said with a smile: "Please also ask Mrs. An Luhou to wait, you also know that the concubine is busy with affairs." ”

Busy with affairs? So busy, I met Bai Xiyun and Qi Miao first, and ordered Chuandian to look like she was going to eat together, why didn't she have time to see her? She didn't want to come by herself, and it wasn't Wan Guifei who sent her an edict to let her enter the palace? After entering the palace, she only gave some tea to dry here, and saw that the two juniors took the first step to speak, isn't this a slap in the face?

This time is such an obvious slow treatment, the Zhang family really can't suppress the anger, and the tone is a little sour: "If Concubine Wan is really not idle, I will go back today and come back another day." ”

Hearing this, Gonggong Sun smiled and said: "If Mrs. An Luhou is busy with affairs in the house, she can naturally go back, but let the slave maid say a word, the slave maid has served the concubine Niangniang for so long, and she has never seen the lady of any family who was ordered to enter the palace and go back first without waiting to see the mother's face." ”

In fact, what Grandpa Sun said about Zhang's family didn't know? It's just that she couldn't stand such obvious slow treatment and couldn't suppress this breath.

"Even if I wait, will my mother still see me?"

"If you think so, then please go back, and the slave will order someone to prepare your chariot. Father-in-law Sun didn't say anything, Zhang was entangled, and he kept talking with a smile, and when he turned around, he was going to order someone to prepare the car.

In the middle of his thoughts, Zhang hurriedly said something to stop him: "That's it, I'm waiting." The opportunity to see Wan Guifei is very rare, this is also to see the concubine Niangniang, if it is someone else, I will not wait. ”

Grandpa Sun was amused in his heart, and he was still very respectful: "Then the slave will go and order you to serve tea again." ”

Father-in-law Sun saluted, and then went to order someone to prepare tea.

In the side hall, Bai Xiyun and Qi Miao had lunch with Wan Guifei, and Wan Guifei said: "Brother Zhao'er is not in good health, he must be tired after lunch, why don't you take a nap here in the palace?"

Bai Xiyun hurriedly said: "My stepmother is full of thoughts, I shouldn't have shirked it, but you are also busy with affairs, besides, my son is a foreign man after all, it's okay to sit with my family, but it's not good to stay for a long time." ”

Wan Guifei sighed softly.

Her innate weak beauty makes people want to take care of it, and now with a sigh, it reminds Qi Miao of stories such as the princes of the Beacon Opera. For such a beauty, it is actually understandable.

Wan Guifei was not a sticky person in the end, so she instructed her grandfather-in-law Sun to prepare a carriage and send Qi Miao and his wife away.

When Qi Miao and Bai Xiyun came out hand in hand, they passed by the front and saw Mrs. An Luhou still sitting there eating tea.

Qi Miao couldn't help but laugh very unkindly. After waiting for so long, I am afraid that I have eaten so much tea, Gong Bucket doesn't know how many times, and if Mrs. An Luhou is not happy, she may not want to laugh so much. The point is that now Mrs. An Luhou has a look of eating Coptis chinensis and makes an unharmed expression, which is too interesting.

Qi Miao knew that with Bai Yongchun's old bastard, whether she was innocent or not, she was also a fox in front of Mrs. An Luhou. In addition, she was originally not good to Bai Xiyun, and she would not be very stupid and naΓ―ve to expect the Zhang family to treat her well.

Anyway, it's already like this, she doesn't have the leisure to think about repairing the relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she simply breaks the jar and breaks it, laughs when she wants to laugh, and satirizes when she wants to be sarcastic.

"Mother-in-law. Qi Miao saluted when he approached, and said with a smile: "Do you want to sit for a while?"

As soon as he saw Qi Miao coming, Zhang's heart was already beating suddenly, and after listening to her words, he really hated to slap her a few times to vent his anger, and said coldly: "I'm not better than you, so naturally I'm waiting for Niangniang to tell me when to meet me." ”

"Didn't we go to see us on the orders of our mother? The mother-in-law will sit down, and the daughter-in-law will not bother. If you eat more tea, you might be able to go hungry. Qi Miao curtsied, turned around and took Bai Xiyun's hand and went outside.

Grandpa Sun listened to their conversation, if it weren't for the skills he had cultivated in the palace over the years, he would almost laugh out loud, and secretly said that Mrs. Bai Shizi is also a wonderful person, and she will definitely return them to the concubine Niangniang when she turns around.

Qi Miao followed Bai Xiyun in the car, leaving Yongshou Palace and heading all the way to the palace gate.

And Mrs. An Luhou is still eating tea......

When the carriage arrived at the market, Bai Xiyun told the coachman to stop, and Guan Junyan rode his horse to the front and asked, "Second brother, why don't you leave?"

"Ah Yan, I want to take your sister-in-law to the silver building for a walk. ”

"I'm not going. I don't want jewelry. Qi Miao's protest came from the carriage, and Guan Junyan sneered.

Bai Xiyun turned his head and stared at his eyebrows and said: "Married to your husband, you haven't listened to your husband for a few days, you really want to go to the house to expose the tiles after three days?"

Qi Miaoqi's face flushed: "I don't have anything big to go out all day, and besides, there are enough jewelry for the dowry, what do you want to do, even if you have a lot of silver, don't waste it like this." ”

"Waste? Bai Xiyun said domineeringly: "Let's go to Yinlou instead, you don't have to listen to your sister-in-law." ”
