Qingle covered her mouth with a smile, "I've only been in the house for a day, and I've played this temper three times, and I don't usually get so angry. The maids in the yard looked at me, and they all hid from other people's houses like a mouse seeing a cat. It's all about persuasion, but you are fine, you are not afraid that I will make things worse."
Qin Yu shrugged when he heard the words, "Just like what you said to persuade the elder sister today, if you don't show some ruthlessness, when will this day stop."
Qing Le nodded when she heard the words, "That's true."
Seeing that the dishes were set on the table, Qin Yu washed his hands aside, and led Qing Le to walk towards the table. There were eight dishes and one soup.
Both of them were in a good mood, and the atmosphere was great. Qing Le ate very slowly because of the injury on his face, and Qin Yu didn't rush to slow down to accommodate her. It took more than an hour for a meal before he put down his chopsticks.
Qingle rubbed her face, frowned and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to go out for a few days."
Looking at the red and swollen face in the mirror, Qingle couldn't laugh or cry, and even regretted fighting with Mrs. Qin and hurting herself.
"The queen mother has been devoting herself to cultivating Buddhism for the past few days. I don't see any guests. The emperor still has a lot of government affairs to deal with, and I don't have time to see you. Tomorrow's three courts will be cancelled. You can take care of it in the yard for a few days. As for the housekeeper, don't worry about it." Don’t worry, you just learn how to do it on the other end.”
Qin Yu was so angry and helpless that he asked someone to prepare an egg, peeled the shell and wrapped it in a towel and rubbed it on Qingle's face.
"Understood." Qingle nodded, her eyes bent into crescents.
After a while, Qin Yu let go of her hand and asked the servant girl to wait for Qingle to wash up.
Qin Yu took advantage of the time to write a few more family rules, Qingle changed into a loose white undershirt and walked over, "What's the hurry, isn't there still a month left?"
Qin Yu raised his eyes, "You forgot, I should go to court in five days."
Qing Le was even more moved when she heard the words. She stood aside and rubbed ink for Qin Yu, "Husband, there are a few short articles, and I can add them myself."
Qin Yu snorted with his nose, Qingle's little head was lowered, and she helped grind the ink with a sly smile. Qin Yu accidentally raised his eyes and saw her eyes were slightly squinted, her hands were still circling, and her hands were stained with ink. A lot of ink, a very tired look.
Qin Yu put down the nib, sighed helplessly, helped Qingle onto the bed, and wiped Qingle's hands with a towel.
Qingle opened her eyes, "Hey, I haven't finished grinding..."
Qin Yu laughed, "No need, it's time to rest."
The next moment, Qin Yu swept Qingle into his arms with a big palm. Qingle tightened his body and did not dare to struggle. The sleepiness dissipated a lot, but he felt a little different.
But Qingle couldn't say exactly what was missing.
Qin Yu tightly held Qingle's slender and tender hands in his cool palms, absorbing her warmth bit by bit. In the end, Qin Yu's whole body was on fire, and he rolled over and pressed against Qingle's body, sniffing lightly with the tip of his nose.
"Wow, you smell so good."
Qing Le chuckled when she heard the words, her eyes were particularly surprised, "Hey, why don't you cough anymore?"
Qingle seemed to have discovered some new continent. She always felt that something was missing in her ears, and suddenly remembered that from yesterday until now, she hadn't heard Qin Yu cough.
Qin Yu smiled slightly, and lowered his head to seal the chattering red lips. The smile in his eyes was sly and wanton. Qingle forgot to struggle all of a sudden, and even threw his own problems out of the blue.
When Qingle remembered it, it was already early morning the next day. Qingle resisted the soreness between her legs, and couldn't help but tugged at Qin Yu and asked, "The question from last night hasn't been answered yet?"
"Then I'll tell you tonight!" Qin Yu replied with a serious face, causing Qing Le to blush, and cursed shamelessly in a low voice!
"Princess, just now Miss Xiao wrote a letter, and she will come to the Duke's mansion to visit you later," Qing Fei said.
Qingle's little face turned even redder upon hearing this, and she felt ashamed to see anyone, so she glared at Qin Yu coquettishly, "You must have known that Xiaojiu would come, didn't you?"
Qin Yu spread his hands, "Miss misunderstood, I don't know if Xiao Jiu will come or not, I only know that Master Zhao Hou invited me to drink with Jiuxiang this morning, could it be that these two people have an appointment?"
Qingle hastily had breakfast, and asked the servant girl to clean up and dress up. There was no time to argue with Qin Yu, which made Qin Yu frown, "You guys meet every day, it's not that you don't know each other, and you're not outsiders, why should you be so nervous? "
Qingle put on a high-necked dress to cover up the bruises on her neck, and glanced at Qin Yu angrily. Qin Yu shrugged, and then said nothing.
Xiao Concubine first went to visit the Duke's wife, and after talking with her, she left and went straight to the west courtyard.
On the way, I happened to meet Qin Yun who was looking melancholy and sitting in a daze in the pavilion. Now that I met her, Xiao Yu sighed and raised her foot to say hello.
"Cousin Yun." Xiao Yu smiled slightly.
Qin Yun looked back and saw Xiao Concubine, she quickly lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes, "Xiao Jiu is here, have you been to see grandma?"
"I've seen it."
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Qin Yun's mouth, "I'm here to visit Qingle today, you two have such a good relationship."
Seeing her sad face, Miss Xiao recalled what happened yesterday, so she said, "Xiao Jiu and Qing Le have known each other for ten years, and Xiao Jiu knows her temperament best. She has absolutely no bad intentions, and Cousin Yun doesn't have to make things difficult for Qing Le." .”
Qin Yun smiled, and Xiao Concubine said again, "Cousin Yun, if you think about something, your mood will be more open-minded. What you think is important may not be equally important in the eyes of others. My father often persuades Xiaojiu, compared to those There is nothing difficult for a dying person, it doesn't matter what the outside world tells you, what matters is what you think."
Qin Yun smiled, "You are supported by a good father like the Right Prime Minister, how can you understand the mood of an ordinary woman?"
"So what about the daughter of the right prime minister, who still got divorced by the third prince and spread her notoriety far and wide?" Concubine Xiao smiled, "I can't even convince myself, let alone others."
Qin Yun was stunned for a moment, and pondered Xiao Concubine's words carefully.
Before leaving, Concubine Xiao glanced at Qin Yun again, "Cousin Yun, if one day my aunt can fulfill her wish, the premise is that the family will be ruined and the Qin family will be completely destroyed, would you be willing?"
"How is this possible?" Qin Yun looked at Xiao Concubine a little strangely, "Grandfather fought all his life and made great achievements in battle. How could the emperor let the Qin family be destroyed?"
Xiao Yu raised her lips and smiled lightly, "Once the emperor and the courtiers, victory or defeat is just a matter of day and night, if someone takes advantage of it, is it worthwhile to gamble with the whole Qin family?"
Qin Yun was shocked by these words, and it was not until Xiao Concubine left for a long time that she came back to her senses.
"Miss, can Miss Biao understand what you said?" Hong Xiu couldn't help asking.
In Hongxiu's eyes, Qin Yun has changed, she is no longer that heroic cousin, she has become selfish, she puts her own interests first, and in the end she suffers the consequences.
"I hope that after this time, my cousin can see clearly that it will be of no benefit to anyone to continue pestering. Some people are not suitable for that position at all."
Xiao Yu believed that Qin Yun would wake up.
When I walked to the door, I saw Qingle waiting eagerly, looking around.
"You're here." Qing Le stepped forward to greet her, putting her arms around Concubine Xiao, "Let's go into the room and talk."
Concubine Xiao glanced at the scars on Qingle's face, "The beating was serious. I brought you ointment, and you can apply it a few times to reduce the swelling."
"Oh, I'm not so delicate, it doesn't hurt anymore." Qingle waved his hand, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Concubine Xiao covered her mouth and smiled, "It's different after getting married, it seems that a lot has changed overnight."
"That's right, the servant girl was about to say something, the Princess has never stopped laughing since entering the door." Hong Xiu also joked.
Qingle blushed, and glanced at Hongxiu, "I haven't seen you for a few days and learned from your master, but I haven't seen you for three days. What's different, I can have an extra horn on my head!"
Concubine Xiao laughed, and the room burst into laughter, and the maid couldn't help laughing after her.
"Princess, the eldest young lady said that some account books are not clear, I invite you to go and have a look, and now I am waiting for you to pass by the gazebo."
Bi Ling, who was beside Zhen Qin, came over in person, with a humble attitude.
Qingle raised her eyebrows, "What a disappointment, I chose this time to come."
"It's all right, she's my cousin after all, I'll go and have a look with you."
Concubine Xiao blinked, not having a good impression of the Zhen family. These days, Concubine Xiao has been investigating the matter of the Fan family in the Jokhang Temple. But it is like a mirror in the dark.
If Zhen Qin could choose this time to send a maid, he must know that he was here, and the possibility of deliberate intentions could not be ruled out.
Qingle's eyes rolled slightly, "It's okay, it just so happens that the room is a bit stuffy, so it's not bad to go to the gazebo to cool off."
So the two went to the gazebo together, Xiao Concubine's guess was really good, Zhen Qin was not surprised to see her coming, and smiled slightly, "Cousin Xiao is here, it's a coincidence, I didn't disturb the two of you."
Concubine Xiao chuckled, "Why bother me, the Princess and I are already familiar with each other, so I'm not in a hurry, but it's better for my cousin to not delay."
The three of them sat on the stool, and Zhen Qin spread out one of the account books, "Although my grandfather said that he gave the account book to me and my second sibling, there must be some clues. Why don't I take care of the kitchen, purchases, and accounts? How about the second brother and sister taking care of the slaves."
Qingle covered her mouth and smiled lightly, "Sister-in-law is not asking me to hand over the account books to you?"
Zhen Qin nodded directly, "I don't see the completeness of this account book. You still have half of it. I'm also afraid of making mistakes. Don't get me wrong. My mother won't be able to come out for a while, but sooner or later this family will still be in trouble." If I want to give it to my mother, I can't mess around."
Taking care of the money and shopping is equivalent to taking Qingle out of the picture. Qingle just came to the house, and none of the maids would listen to Qingle. Zhen Qin had a good plan and monopolized the power.
"Sister-in-law is pregnant now, I don't dare to make sister-in-law tired, and I have nothing to do around me, so it's okay to share more for sister-in-law."
Now that Zhenqin has become a smiling tiger, Qingle is here to accompany her.
The smile on Zhen Qin's face almost didn't stop, and he glanced at the maids, "You guys, go get some refreshments and melons and fruits, don't just stand here, these things are not just for you maids to listen to casually."
Zhen Qin dismissed the maid first, and Xiao Concubine waved her hand, "Retire."
Soon there were only three people left in the gazebo, and Xiao Concubine was not afraid at all, she wanted to see what tricks Zhen Qin could come up with.
As soon as Zhen Qin changed his previous gentleness, he glanced at Qingle with a cold face, "Second brother and sister, this is the Duke's mansion after all, and according to the rules, they are the housekeepers of the eldest son and daughter-in-law, and the grandfather asked you to be the housekeeper just because of your status as the princess." That's all."
Qing Le smiled calmly, "Then I can't help it, who told me that I was born to be a princess."
"Don't play tricks on me!" Zhen Qin said with a straight face, "You still want to fight with me! Hand over the account book obediently, do your part, don't worry about what you shouldn't, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Qingle was not afraid at all, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
Zhen Qin bent her red lips, put one hand on her stomach, and murmured in a low voice, "I know that the person you like in your heart is not the second younger brother at all. The Lord is unrestrained, and he confessed his heart to him without shame, and now he is trying his best to marry his second brother, just to take over his husband, Qingle, Qingle, why are you humiliating yourself? If you open your mouth, you and I will do it A pair of sisters regardless of size is better than seeing me and my husband being together every day."
Qingle's face changed slightly when she heard the words, Xiao Concubine smiled lightly, "Cousin is really affectionate, did the cousin tell you that the cousin's favorite is Miss Zhen, who is the eldest sister of the cousin, who married her cousin? It is also imperative."
Zhen Qin turned pale when he heard the words, glanced at Concubine Xiao, and clenched his fists tightly.
"The cousin also said that at the Jokhang Temple, he always thought it was Miss Zhen, and he wanted to marry even more than you. It would be better to go out to do business every day if he was with you. If Miss Zhen didn't intercede, how could my cousin marry her? And you."
Concubine Xiao's long and narrow brows raised slightly, "You are considered lucky, you will be pregnant after that day, otherwise, according to my cousin's intention, it will be delayed until three years later, when Miss Zhen becomes filial piety and marries your sisters together Let’s be a pair of sisters regardless of size, but it’s not too late, just marry after three years, cousin sister-in-law must seize the opportunity to catch cousin.”
Zhen Qin was angry and furious, Qin Yunting actually told Concubine Xiao about such a secret matter, how dare she despise herself, it's too much!
Zhen Qin almost cried out of anger, stared at Xiao Concubine fiercely, and blurted out, "Absolutely impossible, Eldest Sister doesn't like her husband at all, if Eldest Sister had this heart, she would have married long ago, why bother procrastinating, if it wasn't for Elder Sister's design , it is impossible for me to marry my husband smoothly, so don't sow discord here, I won't believe a word!"
Qingle was startled, what did she hear just now
Concubine Xiao continued to provoke again, "If my cousin hadn't told me, how would I know these things? You are mean and shameless who drugged your cousin, and refused to take the medicine when you were pregnant with a child. You couldn't wait to get married because you were afraid that your elder sister would steal your position." Well, your elder sister clearly loves Brother Yi, you still dare to argue!"
"Nonsense! My eldest sister likes Lord Zhao. She and Lord Zhao are a natural match. It was you who played tricks to break them up. You are the one who is despicable and shameless!"
Zhen Qin was so angry that he said everything without knowing what he said wrong, and glanced at Xiao Concubine triumphantly, "Just wait, sooner or later Lord Zhao Hou will abandon you, you can't even touch my elder sister's finger. It’s not as good as that, so why fight with her?”
Qingle was already speechless in astonishment, and her mind was a little messed up.
Concubine Xiao smiled angrily, "Does my cousin marry into the Duke's mansion because she loves her cousin or is she greedy for the power of the Duke's mansion? The matter of the eldest aunt was also planned by you, right?"
Zhen Qin would be pissed off by Concubine Xiao if he continued talking, and glanced at Qingle, "Are you going to hand in the account book or not?"
Qingle raised her lips, "If sister-in-law wants power, just go to grandpa. If grandpa says a word, I'll send someone to send it to you immediately."
Zhen Qin saw that the two were full of oil and salt, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a wicked smile, then his face turned pale, and he sat on the ground and started yelling.
"Ah! Help, my stomach hurts so much, second brother and sister, cousin, why did you push me? How did I offend you?" Zhen Qin wailed in pain, with a flash of pride in his eyes.
Qing Le was taken aback, and looked at Zhen Qin's pretending with a gloomy and displeased face, and was very annoyed. Zhen Qin really did not hesitate to use any means to achieve his goal, and this kind of means can be used!
"Stop yelling, you make a fuss about an unborn child, do you feel sorry for your conscience?"
Zhen Qin didn't care about it, and shouted louder and louder, which soon attracted the attention of many people and rushed towards this side.
There were only three people in the gazebo, and there was no maidservant to serve them, and Xiao Yu was also involved, so it was unreasonable. Qingle looked at Xiao Yu anxiously, "You should leave here first, someone should come later. .”
Xiao Concubine smiled, stretched out her foot and tripped Qingle, and said quickly, "I'll kill Zhen Qin in a while."
Before he could react, Qingle was pushed into the water with a plop by Miss Xiao, and a lot of water splashed immediately, Qingle struggled non-stop.
"Help! Help me!"
Zhen Qin was stunned for a moment, and then started to yell again, Xiao Yu was not to be outdone.
"Why did you push the princess into the water? The princess has already said that she will hand over all the account books to you for safekeeping. You are so cruel!"
Xiao Concubine spoke before Zhen Qin said, "Hurry up and save the princess!"
Qingle was rescued soon, with a look of fear on her face, "Sister-in-law, my mother's house arrest really has nothing to do with me, why do you want to make things difficult for me?"
"You're talking nonsense, obviously you pushed me, you jumped off yourself, no, you pushed me." Zhen Qin pointed at Xiao Concubine with one hand.
Xiao Yu sneered, "Who doesn't know that I have a very good relationship with the princess, why did you push her into the water?"
"You!" Zhen Qin choked for a moment, trying to find a plausible reason, just when he raised his eyes, he saw a figure striding towards him, and he was overjoyed at once.
"Husband, save me!"
Qin Yunting's expression was extremely embarrassing, just now he was standing on the other side of the bridge, and there happened to be a pillar blocking his figure, every move in the gazebo fell into Qin Yunting's eyes, including those words!
