foxy charmer

This is the second time Qiu Baishao has returned to Qiu's house since she entered the palace.The first time was before meeting the Empress Dowager, she hurriedly glanced at her mother, and had to leave when the imperial doctor arrived.At that time, my mother was still in a coma, and the two of them couldn't even speak.

Before leaving the mansion this time, she dressed up, wrapped up all the gold and silver that she could use, and called two beautiful maids to let the housekeeper take her there in the carriage of the palace, accompanied by four guards. follow.

The feeling of returning home is roughly the same.

Concubine Side returned to the mansion, there was a young man in the mansion who went to the Qiu residence first to spread the word, when the car arrived, Master Qiu had brought everyone to greet him at the door.As soon as Qiu Baishao got out of the car, she saw familiar faces—faces that disgusted her.

"The princess is driving, Caomin and the whole family are waiting here."

"Get up." Qiu Baishao didn't go to help people in person. Before she got married, she had served enough, and now she must show some prestige to let them know that she is no longer the concubine who can be manipulated by others, but The princess who can destroy the Qiu family at will.

When Mrs. Qiu got up, she glanced at Qiu Baishao indiscriminately.Today's Qiu Baishao is radiant, and it is valuable from head to toe. It is even decorated with plump and round pearls, and the opal on the forehead is even more so in the sun, which makes the eyes hurt. Golden green thorns.

This is not like the little girl in rough clothes and wooden hairpins in the past, even the maids behind her are dressed better than her.

Mrs. Qiu was still able to smile, but the little girl behind her had already shown her displeasure on her face.

Seeing Qiu Baishao, she bent her lips.

As everyone entered the room, she sat down at the head seat without looking sideways, accompanied by Master Qiu, and said with a smile, "This is the new tea of ​​this year, Wangfei, try it."

Under his father's almost obsequious smile, Qiu Baishao picked up the tea lid with two fingers, and glanced inside.

Green Longjing is indeed the best tea that the family can produce temporarily.

She let go of her fingers, and the tea lid fell back on the rim of the cup, making a moderate and crisp sound.

Master Qiu was taken aback, "Isn't it to the concubine's taste?"

Qiu Baishao withdrew her hand and folded it on her lap. When the two bracelets on her wrists touched, there was another slight crisp sound, "I always drank black tea in the palace, but now I'm not used to green tea."

She usually doesn't like to drink tea, but during this time she is with Melo, and she will drink whatever Melo drinks.Compared with green tea, which is bitter and sweet, Qiu Baishao is indeed more acceptable to the taste of black tea, which is full-bodied and fruity.She doesn't know much about tea, but she thinks that the things used by Merlot from a famous family must be good.

"Oh oh, then hurry up and change the princess to black tea." Master Qiu said to the servant.

"It's rare for me to go home, and these outsiders don't have to be in the house, so as not to disturb our family reunion." Qiu Baishao moved her eyes to the younger sister on the lower right, and said with a smile, "Fourth sister, please change the cup for my sister." Tea."

The other party was startled, and after realizing it, he unhappily asked his mother for help with his eyes.Mrs. Qiu shook her head, frowning and urged her to go quickly.

The little girl went reluctantly, and someone had brewed tea outside and brought it in. She stepped forward, intending to put the tea on the table, but saw that Qiu Baishao had already stretched out her hand to take it, so she didn't Do give her the tea thoughtfully.

choke--

As soon as he let go, the teacup fell to the ground, splashing tea and ceramics all over the place.

The sudden change made Qiu Si stunned. She raised her eyes to look at Qiu Baishao, and saw the woman Shi Shiran withdrew her hand, raised her eyebrows, and said lightly, "It's hot."

Without waiting for everyone in the Qiu family to react, the servant girl behind the side concubine immediately took a step forward and slapped Qiu Si violently, "How dare you scald the concubine."

The little girl was beaten and fell to the ground, dazed and at a loss.

Mrs. Qiu's heart tightened, the scene was terribly familiar.Qiu Baishao's mother used to be a concubine, and she was taken home when Qiu Baishao was four years old. On the day when the concubine's room served tea to the main room, she sent her away on the first day for this reason. She knelt for two hours.

She turned her head to look at Qiu Baishao, and suddenly saw the woman looking at her.Those willow eyes were full of sarcasm, it was revenge that had been suppressed for 14 years, with resentment that would never let it go.

"I didn't burn her, she didn't connect it properly!" Qiu Si on the ground returned to his senses, glaring at Qiu Baishao.

There was no need for Qiu Baishao to speak, the servant girl of the palace had already slapped her face heavily.

The little girl has never been wronged like this since she was born, she is the pro's daughter, and only Qiu Baishao has been kneeling for her all this time, never has she ever experienced such humiliation.After all, she was still young, and she had never seen the outside world, so when she got up, she pointed at Qiu Baishao and scolded, "What princess, mother said, you are a side concubine, a concubine, and you are not a good thing like your mother. The third prince's concubine fell ill because of you, that's why their family sent someone to disrupt father's business, you evil spirit!"

"Shut up!" Mrs. Qiu's face turned pale, she immediately stood up and pulled her daughter behind her, then raised her knees and knelt down, "Princess, forgive me, your fourth sister is only seven years old, you girl doesn't understand anything, and you talk nonsense , you must not take it to heart."

Her two older daughters are married, and she can only talk to her younger daughter on weekdays. She doesn't want to be remembered by her daughter when she casually mentions it in the past, and even ran to Qiu Baishao and poured it out...

Qiu Baishao caressed the green bracelet on her wrist. Over the years, what she hated the most was hearing people talking about wives and concubines, and what about wives and concubines. She is the daughter of a singing prostitute in Qinhuai, and the concubine of a commoner, but now she Sitting here, who would dare to disrespect her.

"Of course the child is innocent." She still smiled calmly, "It's just that the adults didn't discipline her well. She is my princess's own younger sister. In order to prevent someone from taking my sister's younger sister into disrepair, I wronged my wife." Take those servants who serve Xiao Si, and go out and kneel for three hours together, let's improve our memory together, and if there is something, we will improve it if there is nothing else."

Mrs. Qiu suddenly raised her head, three hours...

"Why, Madam doesn't want to go?" Qiu Baishao lowered her tone.

Mrs. Qiu gritted her teeth, she was always afraid of the royal guards brought by Qiu Baishao, so she had to kowtow secretly, "Yes, I will go now."

Before she left, she glanced at Master Qiu's expression, and saw him drinking tea with his head down, as if he had never heard of it.The woman felt cold, so she took her little daughter by the hand and left in silence.

"Okay, it's getting late, I'll go see my mother first, father can take care of himself." Qiu Baishao didn't bother to drink tea anymore, she got up directly and went to her mother's courtyard.

"I'll go with you." Master Qiu quickly stood up, "I'll also drop by to see your mother."

Qiu Baishao paused in her footsteps. In the past, she wished so much to hear this sentence from her father, but now...she doesn't care about it anymore.

Raising her hand, the maidservant behind her handed Master Qiu a package, Qiu Baishao looked back slightly, "I heard that my mother is ill, this is the prince's kindness, please keep it, father, I can't come back often, I have to Please take care of me."

Master Qiu was holding a large heavy package. After hearing the word Wang Ye, the beard on his lips trembled, "Wang, Wang Wang?"

"Yes, the prince rewarded it." Qiu Baishao did not lie, these things were indeed rewarded by the prince, but only for her. "I will leave two maidservants to serve my mother, and I will leave the rest to my father."

"This, what an embarrassment," the man smiled, "I also asked the princess to thank the prince for me."

Qiu Baishao didn't want to look at his face any more, and went straight to her biological mother's residence.

Qiu Baishao's biological mother is a woman from the Qinhuai River. She met Qiu's father when he was taking medicine. At that time, Qiu's mother was too old to stay in the pavilion, so she redeemed her body at a low price and made it for Qiu's father. outer room.

This is undoubtedly the most humble background, no one would look down on a Qinhuai girl and her daughter.

Qiu Baishao stepped into her mother's small courtyard. Ever since she caught up with the third prince, she has always tried to make up for it, but this courtyard is still shabby and shabby, and needs to be completely overthrown and repaired again.Yi'er, who was guarding the entrance of the courtyard early in the morning, saw the master coming, and stepped forward happily, "My aunt heard that the princess is coming, and she cooked you meals. I have been waiting for a long time."

"Mother is still sick, how can I let her cook." She was taken aback and quickly walked inside.As soon as he entered the yard, he smelled a strong smell of medicine.She looked up, and saw a woman standing at the door of the house supported by someone, her face was covered with autumn frost, and her temples were slightly gray.

She was standing less than four feet away, but the woman squinted her eyes a few times before tentatively asking the person beside her, "Is the side concubine back?"

"Mother—" Qiu Baishao's eyes became hot, sore and moist.

All these years, in order to sell some embroidered things for a few pennies, my mother's eyes were burnt out.

Hearing her daughter's voice, the woman was stunned, she wiped her hands on the sides of the cloth, opened her mouth with a smile, wanted to go up to call her, and remembered that Qiu Baishao is not her daughter now, It was the prince's side concubine, so she lowered her head in embarrassment, looked left and right to see if she was all right, and after reacting for a while, she remembered to kneel down to pay her respects.

Qiu Baishao just stood there looking at her, watching her over forty-year-old mother who was so happy that she didn't know what to do, watching her kowtow to herself with her knees on the ground and her hands on the ground.Two wooden hairpins couldn't hold a woman's [-] long hair. When she kowtowed, two locks fell from the side of her face—eight parts black, two parts white, without brilliance, dull and loose.

Until she heard it, her mother sifted out a sentence in a trembling voice: "The concubine has seen the princess, and the princess is blessed and safe."

Qiu Baishao turned her face away, choked up and burst into tears.

She wants to live up to her spirit, not for herself, but for her mother.She is not afraid of the daughter of the general's family or the daughter of the Minister of the Household Department.

As long as mother is alive, she can continue to fight, and she is not afraid of anything.
