In the afternoon, the sun was blazing, and the gatekeepers of the palace were idle, sitting together in the shade to eat tea and slap their teeth.
The sound of rolling wheels and horseshoes stomping on the quiet street, a few people looked back and saw that it was an ordinary blue horse carriage, and they didn't care much.
It didn't take a moment for the carriage to stop in front of the palace gate, and the handsome scholar sitting on the carriage jumped down, and then the dark blue curtain was picked up, and a maid in plain white and dark blue jacket got out of the carriage.
Isn't this Jiyun, the maid next to the princess
The doormen were shocked and quickly got up to meet them.
"Greetings to the princess."
Qin Yining helped Ji Yun's hand out of the car, and brushed a messy oath behind his ear, "No gift."
"Go in and speak back, the princess is back." Menzi whispered to the errand boy at the door.
The servant was a newcomer, and he hadn't seen what the princess looked like. He stretched his neck and glanced at the door, then agreed with "Ai", and Sa Yazi ran inside.
The doormen respectfully opened the corner door and invited Qin Yining to enter.
When he got the news, the long history of the palace brought the little servant by his side to greet him quickly, and saluted respectfully: "See the princess."
"Get up." Qin Yining asked as he walked towards the second door, "How is the house these days?"
"Back to the princess, everything is fine, there is nothing abnormal."
"That's good. I'll have to work harder for you when I'm not at home."
"It's not hard, it's not hard, this is the duty of a lowly position." Chang Shi smiled and handed over.
Qin Yining nodded and didn't ask more about the inner house.
"Will the princess go back to her room to rest, or go to Chunhui Hall?"
"Let's go to Chunhui Hall first."
"Yes."
After Chang Shi asked, he ordered someone to pass it on. It was really because the old lady's face was so swollen that it was impossible for the masters to meet each other, so they had to pass it on.
Qin Yining knew about Yao's business, so he understood it naturally, and didn't ask much, and deliberately slowed down.
In Chunhui Hall, Ma Shi was rubbing medicine on Yao Shi's face with a dark face.
"This is what Sister Yi gave me last time. She said that the ointment in the palace is specially used to relieve pain and reduce swelling."
Ma Shi gently rubbed the pale green ointment on Yao Shi's swollen cheeks. Although he was angry with Yao Shi for being an unrighteous person, she was her own daughter after all, and she felt distressed after the beating.
Yao Shi only felt that the wound was burning hot, and she couldn't help but take a deep breath, "Oh my mother, take it easy, take it easy!"
But Ma Shi deliberately added a little strength: "I'll let you have a crooked mind, it's time! I don't think you care about your relationship with Dafu anymore. Dafu is not at home, you are the one who abused his daughter-in-law today, you can do it. Sooner or later, if Dafu leaves your heart, you will be at ease!"
When Yao shi heard this, he became anxious, "What's wrong with me, what did I do that wasn't for him? People in the world hide too much when they see trouble, why can't they favor me? Do you know that the family is * Excuse me, why don't I keep my head under my arms? I'm a big blessing, I think he just married a daughter-in-law and forgot his mother, and he doesn't even think about how I feel as a mother!"
Ma was so angry at Yao's words that he wanted to use reason to tell the difference, but Yao's appearance of holding his neck and waiting for his eyes made Ma unable to open his mouth.
After a long while, Ma said: "I shouldn't have let you go out and work hard in a big family, look at what kind of bear you have learned!"
Ma covered the medicine box with anger, knowing that reasoning would be unreasonable, so he simply ordered: "You will come with me to Qin's house later, it was our in-laws who had the accident, and the family's father-in-law was a great blessing to us when he was alive. That’s right, Dafu can’t reach out when he goes out, don’t you, a mother, even refuse to worship?”
"But Dad said..."
"Listen to your father fart!"
Yao Chenggu just took a breath of dry cigarettes, but when he heard the words, he didn't catch his breath.
Mrs. Ma ignored it. Just as he was about to speak again, the maid who had sent word from outside arrived: "Mrs. Hui, old lady, old lady, the princess is back."
"What is she doing back here!" Yao shi's voice was sharp.
Ma's eyes stared: "This is the palace, and the girl Yi is the princess. What do you think she is doing when she comes back? This is her home, how sooner or later she wants to come back?"
Yao shi pointed to his face, "But how can I see people like this!" As he spoke, the ants on the hot pot turned around looking for hiding places.
Seeing Yao's appearance, Ma's anger didn't help, "What are you hiding? It's not ashamed of you to do something like that, but now you're caring about your identity as a mother-in-law."
Yao Shi gritted his teeth angrily, but he didn't dare to anger Ma Shi, so as not to be beaten again.
Ma was too lazy to pay attention to Yao's tossing and went out with his maid to greet him.
Yao Shi didn't want to be seen as a joke, and seeing that Ma Shi went out to pick up people, he hurriedly got behind the screen in the back room.
Only Yao Chenggu was sitting in the same position, leaning on the kang table and smoking dry cigarettes.
Qin Yining walked into the courtyard door and saw the smiling Ma Shi.
"grandmother."
"Ah! It's good to come back, it's good to come back, how is your mother's body?"
"Thank you grandma for your concern, my mother is getting better, and the doctor said that there will be no serious problem in raising her." Qin Yining bowed his knees while speaking.
Mrs. Ma stood up with Qin Yining's arm, and said with a sigh of relief: "It's fine if you're okay. This time, the incident was too sudden. Your mother was already in a hurry when she got the news in the south. When you go to the capital, your mother can only take a car, and she has to travel day and night all the way to come back, people are too sad, and you are tired on the road, so you are tired and sick after thinking about it.”
Qin Yining sighed and said, "I understand the pain of my mother. Grandma, this time you are tired from the journey."
what is this. Don't worry, my body is very tough. "Ma's took Qin Yining's hand into the house.
Seeing Yao Chenggu sitting on the edge of the kang smoking clouds and mist, Qin Yining bowed respectfully, "Old man is well, how are you all these days?"
The old man lowered his eyes, frowned, took a few puffs of cigarettes, and said lazily: "Fortunately, there is nothing in the house, I'm still the same."
"That's good." Qin Yining smiled and looked left and right. If he didn't see Yao Shi, he already had a guess in his heart, and said with a smile, "Why didn't you see my mother-in-law?"
"Oh, she..."
"She's not feeling well, she's sleeping."
Just as Ma was about to tell the truth, he was interrupted by Yao Chenggu's words. After all, they were old couples for decades, Ma Shi gritted his teeth, and he couldn't hit Yao Chenggu like a child. He could only give Yao Chenggu a blank look from an angle that Qin Yining didn't see, and then turned to Qin Yining and said, "Don't worry. , your mother-in-law is all right."
Qin Yining noticed that there seemed to be a very vicious gaze staring at her, as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake when she was living in the mountains.
She had a plan in her heart, and without saying much, she went straight to the business, told Ma Shi's decision of the Qin family, and said, "I think the capital is not a place to stay for a long time, it is too unsafe here, the Qin family this time Kai is also a big family, but with this funeral, the Qin family is not rude no matter how they act. Someone asked, and there is a secret statement. I just thought that the relationship between the Wangfu and Wangye is more intimate, if someone is staring at you. Well, so I think, those who want to leave our palace have to leave too."
