In June, the scenery is beautiful, the lake breeze blows, refreshing and pleasant. On the place where the blue waves are rippling on the beautiful lake, an exquisite painting boat sails. The doors and windows of the painting boat are wide open, and the lake wind mixed with cool water vapor blows in faintly. The young master was sitting cross-legged on the seat, plucking the strings with both hands, and a lingering melody flew out from his fingertips.
Opposite him, sat a beautiful woman who looked to be in her early twenties, with delicate makeup, a little cinnabar between her eyebrows, bright red lips, and soft eyes, but she exuded an irresistible Mei.
When the young master was playing the piano, the woman just leaned against the wall and looked at him lazily. After finishing the song, she stretched out her hand and wiped the sweat from the forehead for the young master.
Young Master just looked at her shyly at first, when her fingertips seemed to touch his face unintentionally, and she was so startled that she wanted to back away, he grabbed her weak and boneless hand, and looked at her infatuatedly: "Mei Niang ,you are so Beautiful."
The woman smiled shyly, and wanted to withdraw her hand, but was pulled by him vigorously, and the whole body was pulled into his arms. With a frightened face, she punched him with her fist, and said charmingly, "I'm not afraid of crushing you!" Your ancestral piano?"
The young master said softly: "Being able to spoil Mei Niang is its good fortune."
The woman stretched out her light white fingertips and pressed his lips: "You men, you will talk about making girls happy."
The young master hugged her and said foolishly: "I didn't coax you, I meant it sincerely, Mei Niang, shall I marry you?"
The woman wrapped her soft arms around his neck, and looked at him affectionately and worriedly: "Do you really want to marry me? I'm just an orphan girl in the rivers and lakes. If you marry me, will your parents agree?"
The young master said: "I will convince them."
The woman snorted, "Where's your wife? Where's your third concubine? I don't want to serve a husband with other women."
The young master said to his fingers: "Don't worry, Meiniang, since I met you, I have never touched them again. You are enough for me. From now on, I will only spoil you."
The woman smiled charmingly, and slowly approached his arms, rolling her eyes in disdain where he couldn't see.
The young master lowered his head, wanting to kiss Fangze, at this moment, a small boat bumped over violently, the boat was bumped, the piano fell, and the tea was spilled, the two of them paused and couldn't help but look towards the door. I went to see who was so short-sighted and bumped into their boat, but I saw a short-haired young man jumping in viciously with a big knife.
A flash of panic flashed across the woman's eyes, she grabbed the hollow folding fan on the table, opened it, and blocked her face.
Unexpectedly, the other party recognized her easily, mainly because the fan was useless to anyone but her, the little strong man roared angrily: "Feng Qingge! You're messing around with me again! Are you alive?" Impatient?!"
The young son frowned: "Who are you? Why did you come to my boat to make trouble? Come here! Get him out!"
Several guards ran over in a hurry, but before they touched a single hair of the little strong man, they were all thrown into the lake by the young strong man.
Feng Qingge quietly stood up from the young master's arms, and moved towards the side door.
"Meiniang, don't go!" The young master grabbed Feng Qingge's hand.
The little strong man's eyes turned red, he raised his hand, and slapped the young master into the water.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Feng Qingge ran away!
Feng Qingge's charming skills are superb, but her martial arts are definitely not good, especially against a super mighty little monk who successfully broke through the Shaolin Temple's Eighteen Bronze Soldiers, she will never be able to beat her. However.
The little strong man quickly caught up.
Feng Qingge jumped up and down in fright. I knew that monks were so difficult to deal with, so I shouldn't have run so cheaply to seduce others to break the precepts. Now it's all right, he's returned to vulgarity and entangled her. Her Feng Qingge's man has never For more than a month, this little monk has stayed by her side for more than half a year. If he is allowed to stay any longer, her reputation as Mrs. Meiyin will be ruined!
Just when Feng Qingge was almost captured by the little strong man, members of the Shaxue League appeared.
Feng Qingge seemed to see a life-saving straw, and jumped onto the opponent's boat: "Hurry up, hurry up! Go, go, go!"
The members of the Shaxue League took Feng Qingge away so easily. Feng Qingge didn't know why she was being taken away. If she knew, she would rather stay and be hunted down by the little monk.
The place Qiao Wei agreed on was in the courtyard on Qingfeng Street. After receiving Feng Qingge, the Shaxue League immediately sent people there, and then sent Qiao Wei a code. In the past few days, it took only one day to find him, so that's good, if you find Feng Qingge earlier, you can also deal with the little stepmother earlier.
Hearing that Qiao Wei was going out, the leader also clamored to go. Naturally, he was unwilling to go alone and coaxed Fu Xueyan to take him with him. So, after dinner, a group of people set off in a mighty way.
The courtyard hadn't been so lively for a long time, and Lu Zhu happily welcomed people in, made tea, served snacks, and went to the kitchen to help Master Yang make supper.
Qiao Wei met Feng Qingge in the East Chamber. Feng Qingge was wearing a tender pink corseted skirt and an unmarried girl's hair bun. She couldn't tell her actual age at all. Qiao Wei felt that even if it was another ten or eight years In the past few years, her appearance probably won't change much, which is called God's reward.
On the way here, Qiao Wei has already introduced Feng Qingge to everyone. Several people know that she is Ji Mingxiu's subordinate. People in the world call her Meiyin lady, but Feng Qingge doesn't know them yet. As a woman's instinct to repel the same kind, Feng Qingge Qingge automatically ignored Fu Xueyan, and walked up to the leader with a smile, and smiled charmingly, with a glint in her eyes: "Who is this?"
Without waiting for the leader to answer, Fu Xueyan grabbed her by the throat!
Feng Qingge's coquettish technique just unleashed suddenly withdrew, and it was swallowed back into her body, her tendons ached, and cold sweat oozed from her forehead.
Qiao Wei hurriedly said: "Miss Fu, calm down, calm down, one of my own."
Fu Xueyan let her go coldly.
Feng Qingge caught her breath, took a sharp breath, and then coughed. She was really careless just now, thinking that the other party was just a vase for show, but she didn't expect to be a hidden martial arts master, that is, Yan Feijue and Yi Qianyin, I'm afraid they can't do it so quickly, can they
"Who is she?" Feng Qingge walked to Qiao Wei's side and complained softly.
Qiao Wei whispered: "She is the future second young lady of the Ji family. If you have nothing to do, don't provoke her, and don't provoke Ming Ye."
"He's Ming Ye?" Feng Qingge looked at the leader. Regarding Ji Mingxiu's recognition of his younger brother, she had heard Yan Feijue and Ji Wushuang say something about it, but she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.
Qiao Wei nodded, pointed to the tables and chairs and said, "Sit down, don't worry about a little misunderstanding, just settle the business first."
Feng Qingge sat down, Fu Xueyan sat down opposite her, the leader stood next to Fu Xueyan, and smiled at Fu Xueyan, Fu Xueyan turned her face lightly.
Qiao Wei said: "Xiuqin, close the door."
"Okay." Xiuqin closed the door.
Qiao Wei poured tea for several people. Feng Qingge can be said to be Ji Mingxiu's dead soldier, there is nothing to hide from her. In the presence of the leader, Qiao Wei omitted the matter between Fu Xueyan and the future King Yeluo.
After Feng Qingge listened to it, she deeply felt that she had fallen into a big hole: "You asked the people from the Shaxue League to find me just to let me help you deal with the Yeluo people?"
The Yeluo people are so powerful, how could she deal with them
Qiao Wei said: "Leave the Yeluo people to us to deal with, you only need to settle the mess of the Ji family."
Feng Qingge breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't deal with the Yeluo people, there was nothing to be afraid of.
"What kind of mess?" she said casually.
Qiao Wei told her about Xun Lan's return home again.
Feng Qingge was dumbfounded, she can still do this kind of operation, is your father-in-law stupid? Is there something wrong with this femme-hearted woman? Still running to see her? And make her belly bigger again? Does he think it's not enough for his two sons to alienate him
Feng Qingge looked at the leader, she really wanted to know what the little son was thinking.
The leader held his chin and snorted: "Don't look at me, I'm not a stupid Ji family!"
The corner of Feng Qingge's mouth twitched, and she looked at Qiao Wei again: "You want me to kill Xun Lan for you?"
Qiao Wei said: "There are still many mysteries that have not been solved. It is too early to kill her now."
"Then what do you want?" Feng Qingge asked.
Qiao Wei didn't answer her, but smiled and said, "Have you not worn a human skin mask for a long time?"
Feng Qingge hugged her arms vigilantly: "Who do you want me to pretend to be?"
"Pretend to be her!" The leader grabbed Fu Xueyan's hand and said, "It's you who will be killed in this way, not her!"
Feng Qingge frowned: "Do you want to be so heartless?"
The leader looked at the sky: "Aren't you good at martial arts?"
Could it be that your careful master won't? Didn't you see that I was almost strangled to death by her just now
Feng Qingge's eyes swept across Fu Xueyan's stomach, and Fu Xueyan's hand always covered it intentionally or unintentionally, she immediately understood, suppressed her anger, and said helplessly: "Besides, I have never been pregnant again. , I'm afraid..."
Fu Xueyan shot over with a cold gaze!
Qiao Wei stuffed a piece of rose cake into her mouth: "This tastes good!"
Feng Qingge held the rose cake in her mouth, looked at Fu Xueyan, then at Qiao Wei, then at the bewildered Master Leader, and smiled hehehehe.
Master Hierarch felt a chill down his back inexplicably!
Feng Qingge ate snacks slowly, and asked gracefully and charmingly: "Since you don't want me to play this Yeluo woman, do you want me to play your little stepmother?"
Qiao Wei shook her head.
Feng Qingge asked: "Then who do you make me look like?"
Qiao Wei said lightly: "Yi Rongcheng is a person who, even if she has the gold medal for avoiding death, she will never be able to win in her life."
…
The sun was just right today, and Mama Gu spread all the damp books out to dry in the yard. In half an hour, there were twenty rows in the entire front yard. Mama Gu went to the box to get new ones. At this time, a Holding a book in her hand, Su handed it to her eyes.
She slowly moved up that white jade-like hand, and saw a slightly smiling face. She stood up and bowed lightly: "Young Madam."
Qiao Wei helped her up: "Mum Gu doesn't need to be polite."
Gu's mother gently withdrew her arm, and said respectfully and distantly: "Young Madam, what do you want to do at the Princess Mansion?"
Qiao Wei said seriously: "There is an important matter, I want to ask Mama Gu."
…
"What?" In the study, Mama Gu sat on the floor, looked at Qiao Wei, who was kneeling and standing upright, and said in disbelief, "This is ridiculous!"
Qiao Wei looked at her unchanged: "What's so ridiculous?"
Gu's mother said coldly: "I don't allow anyone to discredit the princess's reputation in any way! The princess has passed away, and I can't let her rest in peace under the nine springs!"
Qiao Wei said firmly: "Mother Gu, if the princess cannot rest in peace under the Nine Springs, it will only be because of one incident, and this incident is definitely not her own. I believe you understand this point better than me."
Mother Gu was silent.
Qiao Wei poured a cup of tea for Gu's mother: "The princess is Ye Luo's business, you must have known it for a long time, right?"
Mama Gu's eyelashes trembled.
"You were sent by the emperor to the princess. You should be loyal to the emperor, but you have never betrayed the princess. I thank you for the princess and meditation." Qiao Wei said, folding her hands and placing them on her forehead, He saluted greatly.
Mother Gu's eyes moved.
Qiao Wei said again: "The thing that the princess can't let go of is the early death of the two children. The elder brother has no way to recover, but Mingye came back alive. Mother Gu is also very happy for the princess, right?"
Mama Gu's eyes slowly turned red.
Qiao Wei lowered her eyes and sighed softly: "Mingye has suffered a lot. He has a strange poison in his body that has not been solved yet. He was abducted by human traffickers, domestically abused by his adoptive father, and bullied by local hooligans. He can return to Jiji alive." It's not easy at home, he's going to be a father soon..."
Mother Gu interrupted Qiao Wei: "What did you say? Mingye is going to be a father?"
Qiao Wei looked at her without hesitation: "Yes, the newly moved Miss Fu, she is pregnant with Ming Ye's flesh and blood, but her family does not agree with Ming Ye's marriage with her, and they try to get her Take her back, once she is taken back, the child will be lost, mother Gu, you don't want Mingye's child to have trouble, do you?"
The next day, Ms. Gu asked Mrs. Ji for leave, saying that her nephew was getting married, and she was invited to have a drink for a few days. For the Princess Mansion, I asked Mrs. Ji to be looked after. She is from the Princess Manor. There is no need to show Mrs. Ji, this is just to avoid suspicion.
Mrs. Ji told her to go at ease, and then called Qiao Wei, intending to let Qiao Wei take over the affairs of the princess mansion, but Qiao Wei said: "What a coincidence, grandma, Jing Yun and the three of them just came back, it seems a bit strange. They are not used to it, so I will stay there at noon and take them out for lunch."
Mrs. Ji loves the younger ones the most. Upon hearing this, she immediately entrusted Mrs. Li with the affairs of the Princess Mansion.
…
In the courtyard, Qiao Wei and Feng Qingge knelt obediently on the group mat and listened patiently to Mother Gu explaining the situation of the princess: "The princess has three joys and three dislikes. The three joys are flowers, tea, and characters. The princess's flower arrangement skills, tea ceremony and Calligraphy is the three best in Beijing, and no one can surpass it in those days; the three dislikes are riding, shooting, and playing."
Feng Qingge silently snapped her fingers. She likes listening to operas the most, is best at riding horses, and likes hunting the most...
Mama Gu said slowly, "Come on, show me a flower first."
Feng Qingge and Qiao Wei exchanged a look, Qiao Wei raised her eyebrows, and motioned for her to start, Feng Qingge picked up the scissors, and trimmed the flowers on the table, each plant was cut bare, skin It was also peeled off, leaving only a big flower on the top of the head, and then it was inserted into the bottle all at once.
Gu's mother looked up and almost lost her breath!
In the back row, Fu Xueyan was also arranging flowers. Qiao Wei didn't really understand this, but when she saw Fu Xueyan's flower arrangement, she felt that she saw a group of graceful, shy and timid girls. The aunt who came out of the bathhouse without any clothes on.
Qiao Wei couldn't see the difference.
Mother Gu asked Feng Qingge to make tea again.
Feng Qingge runs a brothel anyway, and she usually makes a few pots of tea when entertaining guests. This should not be bad. At least Qiao Wei sees her steps very professionally. Who knows that when Qiao Wei and Gu's mother When she took a sip of the tea she made, she spit it out twice!
The tea made by Fu Xueyan is delicious, with a pleasant fragrance, which leaves a fragrance on the lips and teeth.
Gu's mother drank five cups of tea made by Fu Xueyan in a row, and finally rescued the taste buds that had been poisoned by Feng Qingge.
Qiao Wei looked at Feng Qingge in puzzlement: "With your ability, where did you get the confidence to pretend to be me?"
Feng Qingge placed Qiao Wei's horrible flowers (the petals are gone, only the stamens), the horrible tea (the cups are cracked several times), and the horrible words on the table. in front of Qiao Wei.
Qiao Wei looked up at the sky.
The flower arrangement and the tea ceremony were so bad, Mother Gu no longer had any hope for Feng Qingge's calligraphy, but looked at Fu Xueyan's handwriting, and praised: "It has a bit of the character of a princess back then."
It was night, and Mother Gu brought Qiao Wei and Feng Qingge into the princess mansion through the back door.
"The princess read a lot of books during her lifetime. She knew astronomy first, geography second, and is proficient in six languages. She has read all the books in the bookstore one by one, and she is familiar with them." Mother Gu said, pushing open the door of the bookstore.
Feng Qingge looked at the dozens of rows of bookshelves filled to the brim, and fainted on the spot...
The princess's walk is also very different from Feng Qingge's.
"too fast!"
"It's too demonic!"
"Who made you twist?"
"The steps are too big!"
"The steps are too small!"
"Don't drag your shoes on the ground!"
"Straighten your back!"
"Don't let your eyes wander!"
Feng Qingge has a bowl of water on her head, two books on her shoulders, and a rope wrapped around her feet. She has been trained by Gu's mother to lose her temper. She swears that she has never been so tired before riding a horse!
She was lying on the steps of the courtyard, the moonlight was as cool as water, shining on her sweaty face, she said feebly: "Did the little Dolma in the Saintess Hall pretend to be you... did you spend so much effort..."
Qiao Wei said: "Of course not, the Yin people don't know what kind of habit I am, I am completely unfamiliar to them, so that Xibei guy can pretend to be me as much as he likes, but you are different, the princess is here The Ji family has lived for so long, and the difference is too big to make people see the flaws."
Feng Qingge rolled her eyes and said: "But if this goes on, even if I'm given ten years, I'll still have a flaw..."
This is true, hasn't the little stepmother only learned the gentle temperament of the princess after so many years? When it comes to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is not worthy of carrying shoes for a princess. Feng Qingge is a martial artist, so it is really hard for her to turn her into a high-ranking princess all of a sudden.
But what else can we do
…
In the quiet gazebo, Ji Shangqing was lying on the stone table and fell asleep. A figure came over and put a cloak on him.
"Zhaoming!" He shook his body and woke up from his sleep, looked at the cloak on his body, and then at Xun Lan who appeared here at some time, a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes, "Why is it you? "
Xun Lan said softly: "I just passed by here and found you asleep in the pavilion." As she spoke, she glanced at the jug on the table, "Have you been drinking?"
Ji Shangqing said: "Drink a little."
Xun Lan sat down beside him: "You were calling the princess' name just now, did you dream of her?"
Ji Shangqing responded vaguely.
There was no trace of jealousy on Xun Lan's face, she just said softly: "You miss the princess so much."
Ji Shangqing cleared her throat: "You... How are you?"
Xun Lan said softly: "I'm much better, the baby is moving, do you want to touch it?"
Ji Shangqing looked at her belly, his eyes moved, and he really wanted to reach out, but remembering the old lady's warning, he suppressed his thoughts again.
Xun Lan took his hand, and he wanted to pull it back, but Xun Lan held it tighter.
Ji Shangqing touched her belly, touched her once, and then retracted it like an electric shock.
Xun Lan said in a low voice: "The old lady said, after I give birth, let me go back to guard the mausoleum. Do you think so too?"
Ji Shangqing opened his mouth: "I..."
Xun Lan stood up in disappointment, it was not difficult for Ji Shangqing to catch the disappointment in her eyes from the corner of her eye, and he grabbed her hand by accident.
"Shang Qing."
A familiar and gentle voice sounded from the garden. Both Ji Shangqing and Xun Lan were shocked. They turned their heads and saw a woman in white standing against the wind among the flowers. They all froze, as if struck by lightning.
