Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

When Qi Qingxi rushed to the lake, the girl who fell into the water had just been rescued, and she looked extremely wet and pitiful.

On the way here, she had ordered the maids of the Hou Mansion to fetch clean towels and clothes, and she immediately handed the clothes and towels to the maids beside the girl.

A maid in blue clothes took the clothes and towels and walked towards the girl who fell into the water. The girl kept shrinking back when she saw the maid approaching.

Seeing this, Qi Qingxi immediately stepped forward to take the things from the maid: "I'll do it."

She put the cloak on the girl and wiped off the water on the girl's face with a towel, and called a strong woman to carry the girl to a warm room with charcoal fire. The girl's family is coming.

Of course, Qi Qingxi noticed that the girl treated the maid differently, and specially ordered people to keep an eye on the maid, and let his family take care of it when the girl's family came.

Soon a luxuriously dressed woman walked into the room anxiously, and when she saw the girl lying on the bed, she immediately went to the bed to check, and was relieved to see that the girl was fine.

Not long after, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Ning Guohou, who was waiting for the new couple in the hall, also rushed over.

Seeing Mrs. Wang, the woman hurried forward: "It's time to be busy now, why are you here?"

Wang said: "I heard that the princess fell into the water, let's take a look."

Naturally, Mrs. Wang received the news of the accident in the backyard immediately, and knew that Qi Qingxi had handled the matter well. There were not many people watching, and the people were settled properly in time.

Wang had liked Qi Qingxi very much before, and knew that she was a proper girl. At that time, she thought that it would be good to be Zi Cong's wife, but she did not expect it to be.

What happened today also shows that this girl is indeed a sharp one, she didn't miss her.

Wang nodded to Qi Qingxi with satisfaction, walked to the side of the woman, looked at the girl on the bed and said, "How is it? Are you okay?"

"It's okay, you don't think she's doing well, but you should hurry back and do your work, don't delay the business of marrying a daughter-in-law."

Mrs. Wang was indeed busy at first, and if the one who fell into the water was another lady, it would be fine for her to send the nanny next to her to come and see, but the one lying on the bed was the younger brother of the current emperor, Princess Xinping, the direct daughter of Lord Rui.

Princess Xinping, who was lying on the bed, had recovered and couldn't wait to talk to her mother: "My concubine, I..."

Princess Rui patted her daughter's hand and told her not to speak for the time being, then she looked at Wang and Qi Qingxi with a smile: "Thanks to this girl for making such a good arrangement, this silly girl in my family has been spared a lot of suffering. , if there is a happy event in the house today, I will not delay the business."

Mrs. Wang also smiled at Princess Rui: "That's fine, if you have anything to do, tell the maids in the mansion, and we will go to work first."

Concubine Rui is well-known in the capital for her vengeful temper. At this time, instead of looking for her to investigate the incident of the princess falling into the water, she wanted to send them away. It seemed that she was a family scandal and didn't want outsiders to know.

That's fine, she was indeed very busy and didn't have the time to deal with these things, so Wang also took Qi Qingxi's hand and left.

Wang patted the back of Qi Qingxi's hand: "Qingxi, thank you for your hard work."

"Ma'am, you're being polite, and besides, I can't help you much."

She only moved her mouth a few times, and other things were done by others, she didn't work hard at all.

"Good boy."

She is not very young, but she handles things in an orderly manner. Even the second girl of her natal family, who has always been praised for her calmness, does not have such a heart at her age.

If Qi Qingxi knew that Wang praised her so much in her heart, she would be ashamed. After all, she can be regarded as a person who has lived two lifetimes, so she is naturally better at handling things than those little girls.

The more Wang looks at Qi Qingxi, the more she feels satisfied. From now on, she no longer has to worry that Zi Cong can't take good care of herself.

After such a delay in time, the procession to pick up the bride had almost returned, and a servant girl beside Wang walked quickly.

"Ma'am, everyone is waiting in the front hall, Lord Hou told you to hurry over as well."

*

When Wang returned to the front hall, Qi Qingxi also prepared to return to the waterside pavilion, but when she arrived, there was no one in the waterside pavilion.

There were only two maids cleaning up, and the maids told her that all the young ladies went up to watch the fun.

Suddenly there was a burst of crackling firecrackers outside, followed by the sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums, presumably the team for picking up the bride had returned.

Ginkgo heard the sound and stretched her neck to look outside.

Seeing her very curious look, Qi Qingxi complied with her and said, "Let's go ahead and have a look."

The hall of the Hou Mansion was already crowded with people, and Qi Qingxi and the others could only stand outside the courtyard and listen to the commotion inside.

"A worship of heaven and earth..."

The voice reached Qi Qingxi's ears, and she suddenly felt a little dazed.

"What are you in a daze for?"

A voice was caught off guard by her ear, and she was startled and at the same time came back to her senses. She turned her head and saw Gu Yu standing beside her, and the two maids, Ginkgo and Sequoia, had disappeared.

"Don't you need to accompany the guests?" Qi Qingxi smiled.

Gu Yu took her hand and walked towards the backyard: "I'll go back and change my clothes first, and I'll just keep Shen Zheng from drinking while entertaining guests later."

It was only then that Qi Qingxi realized that Gu Yu's clothes were covered with dust, especially the hem, with dots of mud sticking to it.

She chuckled lightly: "Picking up a kiss is like walking in a mud pit."

Gu Yu squeezed her palms: "The Zhao family put many water basins in front of the bride's yard, and if you want to get in, you have to step on the water basins, and in the end the yard is full of water. Clothes are dirty."

Compared to how Gu Yu's clothes were soiled, Qi Qingxi was more curious about how they picked up the bride from the courtyard full of water basins.

"Then how did you get in there?"

Gu Yu stretched out his hand and rubbed her head, and said with a smile: "Shen Zheng has a few petites, all of whom are not stingy, and somehow found a few wine bottles and grabbed them in their hands to pretend to be drunk, and poured a lot of water from the yard. The pots were kicked over three or two times."

Qi Qingxi couldn't help laughing out: "Those young ones are smart."

Gu Yu couldn't help but sighed lightly.

Qi Qingxi wondered, "What's wrong?"

Gu Yu smiled: "I was thinking about the day we got married, I would marry you home even if it was a dragon's lake or a tiger's den."

Qi Qingxi pretended to be angry and said, "What, why did my house become a dragon's pond and a tiger's den."

Gu Yu took her hand and put it on her chest, coaxing with a light smile: "No, it's my fault, I made a mistake, please forgive me, madam."

Qi Qingxi blushed slightly and said: "Who is your wife, we are not married yet."

Suddenly a male voice came from a distance: "Hey, isn't this Gu Zicong? What kind of girl is this? She's still flirting here."

Then came the sound of a group of men laughing.
