Queen is the top

As soon as the old lady Meng and the wife of Shaoguo county got the letter, they hurriedly changed their clothes and came to the main hall. Shi Yuqing was very close to the old lady and her mother when she saw the old lady.

Shi Yuqing couldn't see Shi Qiao Huang, so she hurriedly asked, the old matriarch said: "Qiao Huang is my daughter's family after all, and he should not go in and out of the hall easily, after all, to avoid suspicion."

Shi Qiaohuang is six years older than Shi Yuqing. As the saying goes, an elder sister is like a mother. This saying is really true when applied to Shi Qiaohuang and Shi Yuqing.

There is unrest in Shaoguo County's mansion, Shaoguo County's wife is pure and kind-hearted, she is cowardly and incompetent, even if the old matriarch does her best to protect her, but she is old, and there are always things that are not thoughtful.

In order for Shi Yuqing to grow up safely, Shi Qiaohuang studied martial arts and medicine from an early age. Even when he reached the age of marriage, he was scolded by his father and humiliated by his younger siblings. He still insisted on not marrying, just to stay with Shi Yuqing and take care of him.

Although Shi Qiaohuang is always strict with Shi Yuqing, she is no match for her good intentions. Shi Yuqing loves to pester her sister since she was sensible, and she treats Shi Qiao Huang with great respect.

At this moment, he was naturally disappointed to hear that he couldn't see her. Seeing his expression, He Jingyi knew what he was thinking, and said, "Since she is the elder sister of Lan Jun, she is also the elder sister of this palace. Why should elder sister avoid suspicion when she sees her younger brother?"

What He Jingyi said made the old matriarch very considerate, she said respectfully: "If the prince doesn't dislike it, then let my granddaughter meet the prince and princess."

He Jingyi said politely: "Old Madam, please, we are all a family, how can you speak so nonsense."

The old lady Meng hurriedly got up and said she didn't dare, He Jingyi personally helped her sit down, "This is not a polite way, how the old lady, madam, and miss treats Lan Jun, and protects Lan Jun to grow up, I know it well, naturally They will be treated like family members."

What he said made the old lady Meng and the wife of Shaoguo county both panic and ironic. Seeing that his eyes did not seem to be hypocritical, they were even more happy, not for the honor of themselves or the family, but for the sake Shi Yuqing was deeply favored by the prince.

Shi Qiaohuang was led into the main hall by the butler, first stepped forward to salute He Jingyi in a proper manner, and then wanted to salute Shi Yuqing, but was immediately stopped by Shi Yuqing: "How can Yuqing afford big sister's big gift. "

Shi Qiaohuang said seriously: "Courtesy cannot be discarded, you are now a crown princess, how many eyes are staring at you, don't stop me, let me perform this ceremony."

Shi Yuqing held her arm but refused, He Jingyi said: "Don't worry, eldest sister, it doesn't matter how many eyes you have, I am naturally capable of protecting Lan Jun."

When Shi Qiaohuang heard this, he didn't insist on it. He straightened his skirt and sat down on the seat next to Mrs. Shao Guojun's wife. He lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows and said, "The prince's words are naturally believed by the daughters of the people. It's just that Yuqing was whipped last time. This matter, Minnv is really afraid, so she has to be careful."

After hearing this, He Jingyi appreciated Shi Qiao Huang even more in his heart. She behaved decently, spoke out, she was quite a heroine, especially for Shi Yuqing's heart.

He Jingyi's conflicts arose again. Shi Qiaohuang treated Shi Yuqing too well, and he actually lost by three points in the competition. The desire to win suddenly surged in his heart, and he reminded himself to be more kind to Shi Yuqing, and won Shi Qiao Huang It is only necessary to get the most important position in Shi Yuqing's heart.

At this moment, everyone in the hall saw He Jingyi's serious expression and didn't reply, thinking that Shi Qiaohuang's dissatisfaction had offended him. Except for Shi Qiaohuang, everyone felt uneasy, and it was unexpected that he had such childish thoughts in his heart.

Shi Yuqing was worried that he would blame her elder sister, so she cautiously called He Jingyi, "Jingyi."

He Jingyi came back to his senses and responded: "Huh?" Seeing his restless eyes, he remembered that he hadn't responded to Shi Qiao Huang's words, and hurriedly said: "What Eldest Sister said is that what happened last time was my fault, but this Gong promises, it will only happen once forever."

Shi Qiaohuang just nodded after getting his assurance, calmed down a little, and said again: "The meal in the empress's womb is too delicious. The last time a minnv tasted it was unforgettable. I don't know which imperial chef made it. Can my daughter invite him to come to the mansion to do it once?"

Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Shao Guojun were amazed that Qiao Huang, who is usually very sensible and polite, suddenly wanted to be so reckless as the royal chef in the palace today.

But Mrs. Meng understood Shi Qiao Huang's character, and knew that she must have been calculating. She carefully observed He Jingyi's expression, and if he was even slightly dissatisfied, she would intercede for his granddaughter.

The corners of He Jingyi's mouth twitched slightly: "The imperial cook in the palace accidentally spoiled his stomach that day, so he asked his cook to replace him once, but the cook's hands and feet were not clean, and Yun Donghai had already beaten him and sent him out of the palace."

Shi Qiao Huang raised his almond eyes, and cast a sidelong glance at He Jingyi, "Since this is the case, it's fine if it's a girl who doesn't have a good taste."

He Jingyi played charades with her for a while, knowing that she was afraid that the elders would be worried, so he didn't say much, he just said: "In this way, elder sister will be wronged."

The corner of Shi Qiao Huang's mouth curled up: "Where, where, the prince is polite."

Shi Yuqing listened to the conversation between the two in doubt, the more she listened, the more confused she became, she opened her mouth to ask what was going on, but the hand held by He Jingyi tightened, so she had no choice but to keep silent.

The old lady Meng is like a gentleman, and Shi Qiao Huang's temperament is also the most like her. She carefully recalled the lunch they had on the day they entered the palace, and soon understood, no wonder Shi Qiao Huang refused to let go that day. A few people ate that amaranth river duck soup, and when they left, they said to Zhutong: Today's river duck soup is delicious, but after all it is not as delicious as soft-shelled turtle.

She must have discovered something tricky to remind He Jingyi to pay attention to the diet in the palace.

And listening to He Jingyi's words, it was clear that something had happened, it seemed that it was the so-called cook who did the trick.

The old lady Meng sighed in her heart: the palace is not safe after all, such things have happened even in Donghua Palace, if Shi Yuqing is in other places, it may be even more dangerous.

The more Mrs. Meng thought about it, the more uneasy she became. She also thought of what her teacher Qiao Huang proposed to her a few days ago, but she never made up her mind to agree to it, so she began to think about it.

Mrs. Shao Guojun looked at her youngest son lovingly, pulled out a letter from her sleeve, and smiled happily: "Yuqing, this is a letter from your father who asked me to bring it to you. I will come to the mansion, but I happened to be invited by Qi Guogong to go out, otherwise I can hand it over to you in person."

Shi Yuqing was taken aback for a moment, then stood up suddenly, and said pleasantly, "Father wrote me a letter from home?"

Mrs. Shao Guojun looked extremely happy: "No, I asked the master, and he only said that he had some instructions for you."

The old matriarch Meng also knew about this, and only thought that his son was concerned about his grandson's situation in the palace, so he confessed a few personal words. The old matriarch seldom saw Shi Daoran caring about Shi Yuqing, and was happy for several days when he heard about it.

Shi Qiaohuang was not optimistic about this matter, but seeing that the old lady and mother were so happy, he couldn't bear to pour cold water on them, so he didn't say a word, and he didn't dare to open his father's letter privately, so he just turned a deaf ear to it.

Shi Yuqing took the letter from her mother with both hands, unable to hold back the joy on her face, she whispered: "I don't know what my father wants to tell me, Yuqing must listen to my father's words carefully."

Mrs. Meng saw that their mother and son were so happy and joyful just after receiving a letter from Shi Daoran, and felt even more pity in her heart. Then she saw that Shi Qiao Huang was thinking about something with lowered eyes, with a face that was different from her age. He is so mature, he sighed, he only blamed his son for being too soft-eared, he couldn't stand the wind around the pillow, he couldn't see who was good, and he always hang out with those charming and cunning people, and neglected the three of them.

Shi Yuqing happily held the letter in her hand, and wanted to stuff it into the left cuff for a while. After thinking about it, she was worried that it would be lost, so she stuffed it into the right cuff, still feeling uneasy. Overflowing with deep pity, his face darkened unconsciously, but he returned to normal in an instant, smiled slightly, took the letter in his hand, and personally helped him put it into his lapel.

Shi Yuqing's hand was held by him, she glanced at her skirt, smiled and stopped moving.

Several people chatted again, Li Si looked hurried, and bowed in and whispered a few words into Old Madam Meng's ear, which immediately made her face change.

The other four people all noticed her sudden change of expression, but seeing that Mrs. Meng hadn't spoken, it was inconvenient to ask more questions.

Old Madam Meng tried her best to restrain herself, but still showed some anger and annoyance.

Seeing her frowning, Shi Yuqing was worried, and asked softly: "Old Madam, what happened? Don't get angry."

Mrs. Meng relaxed her brows a little when she heard his words, and after holding back, she smiled and said, "It's nothing, Yuqing, don't worry."

Shi Qiaohuang hesitated to speak, but Mrs. Meng coughed, and Shi Qiaohuang immediately stopped talking.

Knowing that Mrs. Meng was concerned about his presence, He Jingyi got up and said, "It's getting late, and it's time for Mr. Lan and I to leave."

The old lady Meng was taken aback, and hurriedly stood up to persuade him to stay: "Your Highness, why don't you stay and finish your lunch before leaving?"

He Jingyi waved his hand slightly: "Today's schedule is in a hurry, so I'll come to the house to bother you another day, and..."

He Jingyi paused: "The old matriarch still has family affairs to deal with, so it's inconvenient for me to be with Mr. Lan."

Old Madam Meng paused for a moment with her hand holding the crested scepter, drooped her eyelids, and sighed: "The prince must have laughed."

He Jingyi smiled lightly: "No, it's just that people have to pay the price for what they do after all, doesn't the old lady say?"

The old lady Meng's heart trembled, and she sighed secretly: After all, nothing can be hidden from the prince.

"What the crown prince said is that the old man will remember, and if necessary, he has no choice but to be ruthless."

He Jingyi nodded slightly, and walked out holding Shi Yuqing's hand.

Shi Qiaohuang and Mrs. Meng looked at each other, each thinking of sending them out of the house.
