After the love affair, Shen Ziqiao was hugged by Qi Zheng to eat supper together, Hongyu and Mo Zhu came in with their heads down to serve dishes, without looking sideways, trying to ignore the ambiguous extravagant smell in the room.
"You guys go down." Shen Ziqiao said awkwardly, she was still wearing the crane cloak, but there was nothing inside except the bellyband, she didn't want to show her bare arms in front of the maid.
Hong Yu and Mo Zhu hurriedly retreated.
"It's all you!" Shen Ziqiao immediately glared at Qi Zheng who was smiling brightly, if he didn't have any restraint, why would it take midnight for the maid to deliver the supper.
Qi Zheng laughed and kissed her, his eyes fell on her slightly open neckline, the black fur collar of the crane cloak set off her tender and jade-like skin, thinking that there was nothing inside, Qi Zheng felt that the blood in his whole body was about to boil .
When he entered the door, he saw her wearing his crane cloak, and he thought that if it was like this... it must look good.
"Qi Zheng! What do you want to do!" Shen Ziqiao felt her chest warm up, only then did she realize that he was actually licking and kissing her chest, and pushed him away angrily.
Qi Zheng laughed in a low voice, and finally restrained his impulse, "Eat something?"
"What did you do today?" Shen Ziqiao drank red dates and snow clam soup, wondering why Qi Zheng left Shen's house in the afternoon and didn't come back until night.
"The emperor wants to leave the capital to go to the cave of Tianxuan Mountain to cultivate immortals. In fact, the emperor has no intention of governing the country." The smile on Qi Zheng's face faded, and he told Shen Ziqiao without any concealment.
Shen Ziqiao said, "Since the emperor is obsessed with refining alchemy and cultivating immortals, he should leave all the affairs of government to the prince. Anyway, His Royal Highness is young and promising, and he is stable and mature in handling affairs. He will definitely be a very good king of a country."
Qi Zheng pinched her earlobe, "It turns out that His Highness is so outstanding in your mind, huh?"
"The best man in my heart is Qi Zheng." Shen Ziqiao definitely admired the practice of knowing people according to the situation.
"My lady has a real vision." Qi Zheng smiled with satisfaction.
Shen Ziqiao glared at him. "So now... the emperor still refuses to abdicate?"
Qi Zheng nodded, "Okay, let's not talk about it, drink the soup quickly and go to bed early."
It seems that things are not simple! Shen Ziqiao thought to herself, and glanced at Qi Zheng with some worry, let's not talk about what happened at home today, so as not to add to his displeasure.
The husband and wife ate supper, and soon fell asleep without mentioning it.
The next day, Qi Zheng entered the palace early in the morning, and Shen Ziqiao got up after having breakfast with him. I went back to sleep and went back to the cage to sleep. When I woke up, it was already high in the sun.
"Young Madam, are you awake?" Mo Zhu walked in, holding a wax-sealed letter in his hand, "The servant outside sent it, saying that a nobleman named it to you."
Lu Zhu, who combed Shen Ziqiao's hair, put the last pearl earrings on, Shen Ziqiao turned around and took the letter from Mo Zhu. "My lord? Did you say who it was?"
Mo Zhu shook his head, "The sender didn't say anything."
Before opening the letter, Hongying walked in angrily, "Young Madam, Madam is too deceitful!"
"What's the matter? Did you give someone away to our Qianlin Academy again?" Shen Ziqiao asked with a smile, if the little Gu didn't look at her one day, she wouldn't be pleasing to the eye. She also felt awkward.
Hongying said angrily, "The family is distributing new clothes to the servants, and all the ones with good colors and standard sizes have been picked up. What we got back from the Qianlin Court are all the fabrics from the bottom of the box. The young lady, the lady is clearly trying to embarrass us .”
"Shut up!" Hongyu scolded her, "Don't tell me you want the eldest young lady to argue with the lady for the clothes of our servants?"
Xiao Gu's doing this naturally has her reasons. Maybe at that time, the fault will all be with the Young Madam.
"What does this have to do with Madam? Those women in charge are doing things." Shen Ziqiao glanced at Hongying, "It's fine to talk about this kind of thing here. No one is allowed to say anything about Madam outside."
Little Gu can't be allowed to find a chance to attack Qi Zheng.
Hong Ying hurriedly blushed and said yes.
Shen Ziqiao opened the letter in her hand, and when she saw the content, she frowned, her eyes fell on the name of the last letter writer, and she even wanted to throw the letter directly into the charcoal basin.
While thinking this way, she had already thrown the letter and the envelope into the charcoal basin, "Tell the people outside, don't bring in this person's letter to me in the future."
Mo Zhu was stunned, "Yes, young lady."
Then, Shen Ziqiao went to play leaf cards with Mrs. Qi.
Half an hour later, Shen Ziqiao's face was bleeding from the loss.
"The old lady has lived for so long, and I have never seen a person who can play leaf cards as badly as you." Mrs. Qi took the broken silver handed over by Shen Ziqiao, and said to Hongyu and Mo Zhu, "Today, young and old Madam will give us food expenses."
The two maids covered their mouths and sniggered, they didn't expect Shen Ziqiao to be able to play a good deck of cards like a bad one.
Shen Ziqiao snorted, and put on a serious look of a life-and-death battle, "Next, I will really exert my strength. Be careful, don't lose so much that you cry."
Mrs. Qi laughed loudly, "Just let the horse come here!"
Tian's mother added water to them, and when she heard the old lady's angry laughter, she couldn't help but also laughed.
The old lady... hasn't been this happy for a long time.
The eldest young lady seems to be fooling around with the old lady, but in fact she wants to make the old lady happy.
After another half an hour, Shen Ziqiao's face was covered in blood again.
Mrs. Qi proudly counted the total winnings with the two little maids.
Shen Ziqiao lay down on the table dejectedly, "Forget about making me stupid!"
She has never had much luck in gambling since she was a child, and she often loses when she gambles. She never thought that she would still be like this in a different place.
Mrs. Qi couldn't help laughing, "Don't cry if you lose."
"That's what the young lady said just now." Mo Zhu reminded Mrs. Qi with a smile, "Don't make our young lady cry."
"Mo Zhu!" Shen Ziqiao yelled with a blushing face, "I don't care, you guys want a treat!"
"Okay, what do you want to eat?" Mrs. Qi said generously.
Shen Ziqiao thought about it seriously, "It's the best weather to eat with a side stove. Let people buy a few catties of mutton and use the bones of the mutton to make the soup base. Everyone is eating around the stove. Grandma, how lively and fun it is. "
Mrs. Qi likes to be lively now, "I will listen to you."
Mother Tian said with a smile, "Your servant will send someone to buy mutton."
Shen Ziqiao helped Mrs. Qi to sit on the kang, while Hongyu and Mo Zhu packed the leaf cards.
At this time, the maid guarding outside came in hesitantly, "Old madam, young lady, there is a little maid outside who wants to see young lady."
"I'll talk about it later." Shen Ziqiao remembered the letter she received in the morning, and she didn't want to see this little girl at all.
After a while, another servant came back to report, saying that the eldest lady of the Luo family had come.
Luo Zhaohua? What's the matter with her
"Go and do your work, don't forget to turn on the side stove at night." Mrs. Qi said with a smile.
Shen Ziqiao had no choice but to bow and go out to meet Luo Zhaohua.
"...you are not at home waiting to be married, why did you run out?" Shen Ziqiao sat down with her arm in his arms, Luo Zhaohua's marriage was in February after the beginning of spring.
Luo Zhaohua stared, "You think I want to come out, it's freezing cold, I might as well stay warm at home, come out to your place, and you will arrange it, if you don't want to see me, then I can won't come."
"How dare I arrange you, isn't this a joke?" Shen Ziqiao quickly said flatteringly, "Did you come to see if I was bullied? Don't worry, there are people above me, Qi Zheng dare not bully me."
"Who told you this!" Luo Zhaohua said angrily, this woman really dared to say anything, "Actually... someone specially asked me to come to you."
Shen Ziqiao's eyes shrunk into needles, as if a cold light appeared suddenly, but she asked with a light smile on her face, "Who is it?"
Luo Zhaohua curled her lips and said angrily, "Ninth Prince! He said he wanted to see you."
"Zhaohua, do you know what you're doing?" Shen Ziqiao looked at her sternly with a gloomy face.
"I know it's against the rules. He just wants you to meet Sheng Peiyin..." Luo Zhaohua lowered her head guiltily. She knew that it would be bad for Shen Ziqiao to go out to meet the Ninth Prince in private. Sample.
But... Ke Jiaojiao used to have a special liking for the Ninth Prince, and didn't care about anything...
Shen Ziqiao sneered, "Why should I go to see Sheng Peiyin? What does she have to do with me? Zhaohua, the Ninth Prince is not afraid of being criticized, don't you think about me? Do you think I'm still the old Shen Ziqiao?"
Luo Zhaohua quickly said, "Of course I don't think so, it's just..."
"It's just that your future husband's family has a very good relationship with the Ninth Prince, so you think you should help him?" Shen Ziqiao asked coldly.
Luo Zhaohua's face turned white and red, and apologized in a low voice, "I was wrong, please don't be angry, okay?"
In fact, she felt that there was nothing wrong with going to see Sheng Peiyin. Instead, it would make the Ninth Prince owe him a favor. Besides, Shen Ziqiao didn't treat the Ninth Prince before... thinking that such a small matter would definitely be agreed.
Shen Ziqiao glared at her, and said in a low voice, "Zhaohua, you must remember that I am no longer the Shen Ziqiao I used to be."
She was no longer the stupid original owner who would risk her life for the Ninth Prince, and was no longer willing to sacrifice herself for the Ninth Prince.
Luo Zhaohua blushed with shame, "I know."
Shen Ziqiao shook her head, "Don't act like you owe me five hundred taels, I'm not angry anymore."
"Jiaojiao, you are the best." Luo Zhaohua finally breathed a sigh of relief, "What do you think Sheng Peiyin wants to see you for? You used to be so good with her, but she is not sincere to you."
"Probably... I want to see my old friend before I die." Shen Ziqiao said mockingly.
Luo Zhaohua didn't take it seriously, but she felt strange when she heard Shen Ziqiao say that Sheng Peiyin was going to die, "Don't you know? The emperor went to see Sheng Peiyin and released her..."
