concubines

After Qi Danxia got married, she came to the palace to look at Qi Niqun. Qi Niqun was still preparing for the birthday gift of the Empress.King Jing has not had any children so far, and the two sons were both born in the concubine, which made Qi Niqun more confident than Princess She, but the queen treated the concubines and the daughter-in-law equally, which made her puzzled.

King Qing was accused of marrying the daughter of the Marquis of Beichang. The Marquis of Beichang had relinquished his military power from the previous generation. Now the Marquis of Beichang is the Shaoqing of the Zongzheng Temple, and he works under the current emperor's uncle, King Li. Although the Zongzheng Temple is directly in charge of the royal family's affairs, Competing with the Ministry of Rites, but not as powerful as the Ministry of Rites, Zongzheng Siqing is only a third-rank official, that is to say, her status as the third younger sibling cannot catch up with her.

The future Princess Qing, Qi Niqun, had also seen it in her boudoir. With a temperament like Xiaojiao, marrying into the royal family may not be her luck.

Qi Danxia gets along well with Cheng Lingjun, son of Shangshu. Although Qi Danxia is a concubine, her mother is a concubine of a good family. Her grandfather and Cheng Wenjie are friends. Qi Danxia looks like her mother, charming and plump. Cheng Lingjun is a scholar. Qi Danxia kept smiling.

Qi Niqun carried Yan'er out to show Qi Danxia, ​​and said: "This girl is obedient and sensible, she never bothers me, I wish I had such a well-behaved girl."

Qi Danxia said: "Big sister said so, your little nephew will be annoyed."

Qi Niqun smiled and said, "Maybe she's a girl."

"Big sister is a blessed person. My mother-in-law said that day, I have half of your blessing, and our family is satisfied."

Qi Niqun knew it was a polite remark, but she still felt it in her heart.

Qi Danxia took a sip of tea and asked, "What's going on outside?"

The smile on Qi Niqun's face faded a bit, "It's unlucky for you to come, my little brother is about to move out."

Qi Danxia was taken aback, looked outside, and then smiled: "I even forgot that my little brother lives here too, and I haven't seen him for a long time, how is little brother?"

Qi Niqun glanced at the servant girl, Liu Bai hurried out, calling for someone to bring Qi Yunruo here.

It got hot all of a sudden, but it wasn't time to use ice. Qi Yunruo was wearing very thin clothes and was still sweating. When she walked in, she saw Qi Danxia and didn't recognize her right away. He thought it was Ji Danxia from some mansion. A concubine, but she was wearing Zhenghong clothes, so Qi Yunruo wanted to understand that she was Qi Danxia.

Qi Danxia is a few months younger than Qi Yunruo, but she looks bigger. She is wearing a peony bun, wearing a pair of butterflies, white jade pendant and gold chain Huasheng, and three small flower tines on each side. She looks even more grand than Qi's skirt. I can't remember anything.

A hint of disgust quickly flashed across Qi Danxia's eyes, and in a blink of an eye there was already a gentle smile. She waved her hands, showing a pair of white jade bracelets in her hands, and said, "Long time no see, little brother."

Qi Yunruo thought for a while, and said, "My sister is good, my sister looks good."

Qi Danxia covered her lips and smiled, and said to Qi Niqun: "The little brother is here with the big sister, and his demeanor is getting better and better. I really envy you. I have a caretaker in Yifu."

Qi Niqun said: "We are brothers and sisters, so naturally it is good."

Qi Danxia asked curiously: "It turns out that my little brother has always lived here, why did he suddenly want to move out?"

"My lord is sympathetic, I am afraid that the wangfei will be overcrowded." Qi Yunruo said.

Qi Niqun didn't speak, it was acquiescence.

Qi Danxia didn't want to talk much to Qi Yunruo either, she was just curious about how Qi Niqun and Qi Yunruo lived in the same room and how their relationship was. If it was her, there would be Qi Ruo in the room who looked cute but could not change his face and make people trip up Xue, she could vomit to death, she glanced at Qi Yunruo, and sneered in her heart, she might not be as good as Qi Ruxue.

What kind of mother, what kind of son.

Not long after Ziyangbo took over Mrs. Liu, he became infatuated with Shui Linglong, the oiran in Zhiya Building, and later redeemed her body as a golden house. Mrs. Liu wept every night, wishing to drink her blood and eat her flesh. Later, Mrs. Liu I asked someone to go to Qingzhi Hutong to see Shui Linglong's appearance, and followed suit in terms of dressing, and finally recruited Uncle Ziyang. That was the disgrace of Liu Shi's life, she will never forget the pain of needing to imitate a low-level prostitute!

When Qi Yunruo entered the mansion, the Liu family had already won the favor of Uncle Ziyang by her own ability. On the matter of not allowing Qi Yunruo to enter the family tree, she and Mrs. Zhao agreed surprisingly. Their influence was indeed not small. Qi Yunruo did not Naturalization.When Liu Shi gave birth to Qi Danxia, ​​her body was injured because of Uncle Ziyang's love for Shui Linglong, and she was unable to conceive a second child. Not having a son was also a great pain for her. Over the years, Uncle Ziyang pitied her more and more, and Qi Yunruo also grew more and more fond of her. further away.

So since she was a child, Qi Danxia knew that that person was not her elder brother, but a bitch who caused her biological mother's pain.He is a humble person in life, and he has ruined the reputation of the uncle's house. Many people know that there is a young master from a humble background in the uncle's house. Qi Danxia is afraid of being contaminated by him, hates him, and hates him. She tells herself repeatedly that she is nobler than him Although she is not a prostitute, she is the favorite daughter of Uncle Ziyang.

Qi Yunruo looked quite good now, Qi Danxia's heart was on fire, she wished that he would be bitten to death by the women of the palace, tortured to death by the prince, and killed by Qi Niqun.

He just can't live a good life, otherwise how can he be worthy of his mother's suffering.

Qi Danxia was newly married and was always wearing a bright red gauze dress. She thought coldly, what would a man be like if he was a man, a favorite, and had no children.

Qi Niqun looked at the time and told people to prepare lunch, Qi Danxia's face had changed into a gentle smile, Qi Niqun said: "My sister will bother my sister, and my brother will come too."

Qi Yunruo said: "I won't come, I have other things to do."

Qi Danxia didn't want to keep him anymore, after he left, she looked at Qi Niqun and said, "I don't know where my little brother will live when he moves out?"

"A yard with a nice view, facing the lake, a two-story building."

Qi Danxia said with a smile: "It seems that Wang Ye likes little brother very much."

Qi Niqun smiled with the corners of her mouth pulled, and Qi Danxia continued: "But after all, it's not something that can be put on the table. In ancient times, there was Mi Zixia, who was fading and loved, and Dong Xian committed suicide with his wife after the death of Emperor Ai. , and the powerful Han Zigao, who was granted death after the death of Emperor Chen Wen."

What Qi Danxia mentioned were all examples of miserable endings, but the three people she mentioned were all favored so much that they even made their regular wives aside.

Qi Niqun gave Qi Danxia a cold look, Qi Danxia smiled and stopped talking.

The place Qi Yunruo moved to was not considered a separate yard, with a fence on one side and a lake on the other. It took up a small area, with seven or eight rooms, and from the main house there was a second floor where fish could be fed directly.There are also a lot more people serving, the eldest maid Liusu, and another Lulan from the palace, four second-class maids, four third-class maids, and now there are six.Qing'er was also transferred here. He was arranged by Eunuch Gao in the front yard to study with other spare book boys. While reading, he learned how to serve the master, serving tea, grinding ink, washing pens, and tidying up the study room. Now It is also considered a teacher.

Lu Lan, like Lu Xuan next to Li Chen, came out of the palace, came from a good family, and was well educated, while Qi Yunruo also had a father-in-law in charge, named Yu Zhi, who looked very capable.

Qi Yunruo also has a small warehouse, which contains many congratulatory gifts from Ji Huan and rewards from Li Chen. Ji Huan probably thought that he would not be here next year, and moved to Qi Yunruo's place for many things that he didn't need. Happy, looking at and touching things one by one, and arranging how to arrange things by myself.

After Luxuan arrived, she was keenly aware that Qi Niqun was not close to Tassel, and she understood after thinking about it carefully, so she naturally put herself in the position of No. 1 maidservant in Hetingzhou, Qi Niqun Do your best, think things for him and think long term.

Lvxuan was inside, and Yu Zhi was outside. In a few days, the two of them managed Guanhe Tingzhou in an orderly manner. Even Ji Huan, who was used to elegance, came and praised: "Your place is well arranged."

Qi Yunruo said with a smile: "It's all their dedication. I like the bottle that brother Ji gave me. When I go to pick peony flowers, I will come back and put them in."

Ji Huan said: "As long as you like it."

Ji Huan had lunch here before leaving, and when he returned to Xiulin Courtyard, he saw a little eunuch waiting in the yard, Ji Huan walked into the room frowning, and the little eunuch hurriedly followed.

Yue Ya'er said: "Little Fuzi has been here for a while."

"Ah."

Xiao Fuzi greeted Ji Huan and said: "Our master has not seen you for a long time, and I miss you in my heart. Originally, I asked my servant to invite you to have a meal together, but you are not here."

"Well."

Seeing that his complexion was not good, Xiao Fuzi shuddered, rolled his eyes, and said, "You are going to see Mr. Qi, and our master said that he didn't know what to give Mr. Qi as a housewarming gift."

Ji Huan said indifferently: "What's the matter with her, let's talk about it."

"...Master wants to talk to you personally."

Ji Huan went to Ji Ru's place during the daytime, and he didn't stay for too long, one was to avoid suspicion, and the other was that the siblings didn't have much to say.

Ji Huan said: "You go back first, I'll go after my afternoon nap."

Xiao Fuzi looked embarrassed, Ji Huan had already gone back to the bedroom, Xiao Fuzi walked up to Yue Ya'er with a playful smile, and said with a smile: "My good sister, you love me, when our master wakes up, I can answer when the slave returns."

Yue Ya'er glanced at him and said: "Master has been drinking, I don't know how long he will sleep."

Xiao Fuzi had a bitter face, "Then when will our master wait?"

Yue Ya'er said coldly: "It's not that our master is in a hurry to see Concubine Ji."

Ji Huan had something in his heart, he didn't sleep well, he got up and changed his clothes soon after, Yue Ya'er waited for Ji Huan to get dressed, and went with Ji Huan.

Ji Huan is quite clear about what Ji Ru is anxious to know, now that the concubine is pregnant, concubine Wei is favored, and another Qi Yunruo is born, she can't sit still.

After entering Shuangqiu Courtyard, Ji Huan went into Ji Ru's room, Ji Ru was leaning on the couch in a daze, saw him and sneered and said, "Brother is so majestic, even if I want to see you, I would always push back."

Ji Huan didn't care, he sat on the side indifferently, and said directly: "What do you want to ask, just tell me."

Concubine Ji took a deep breath and asked, "What happened to that Qi Yun?"

"What's going on."

Concubine Ji slapped the kang table hard with her hand painted with big red Kodan, and said angrily, "We are brothers and sisters, and elder brother would rather support an outsider than help me."

Ji Huan said coldly: "Qi Yunruo has nothing to do with you."

Concubine Ji sneered: "Our family is not as shameless as Uncle Ziyang's mansion, send a man here! Uncle Ziyang has too many sons! Uncle Ziyang has been famous for several generations, and now he is not afraid to send his son to his son-in-law to warm the kang people joke."

Ji Huan smiled, "Do you think you want face? You are very frank? But one is in secret, and the other is in the open."

"Brother said this, as if we forced you to come."

Ji Huan said: "You didn't force me to come. Who told my father five years ago that I was afraid that I would not win the game at a young age? And why did my biological mother die two years ago and one month before I was going to play?"

Concubine Ji was silent, looking at him with dark eyes.

Ji Huan laughed and said: "Xiao Qi is different from you, you don't have to worry about anything, just keep an eye on those who can have children."

Concubine Ji looked at the hut on the left, where her son was sleeping peacefully, she said: "Jing'er is the prince's eldest son, you don't think about me, you should also think about him."

"Eldest son? Isn't King Jing the eldest son? I'm not the eldest son? The eldest son doesn't mean anything."

Concubine Ji's complexion is getting worse and worse. She conspired with her mother to let Ji Huan enter the palace, in order to control Ji Huan so that Ji Huan can be used by her and wear down Ji Huan's spirit, but Ji Huan is not the kind who will do things for her. The person who serves, Ji Huan is very trusted by the prince, she hopes that Ji Huan will transfer that trust to her before leaving, so that the prince will like her more, but obviously, the person Ji Huan decided to help is Qi Yunruo.

No matter if it's a man or a woman, with one more person, she will have one less prince.
