Concubine Wuning

The governor of Zhili and local officials vacated their residences.

Sibeile was in front of the emperor, and occasionally came to the Second Academy to see Sifu Jin and He Qing.Afraid that He Qing would have too much fun, when they met, You Qi repeatedly reminded He Qing not to be too presumptuous.

The adults of the government followed the emperor and managed the embankment tremblingly. I heard that there are always people who are punished and scolded every day.Inevitably, the emperor was so angry that he opened his mouth and scolded all the seven-foot men until he burst into tears, which was extremely ugly.

He Qing nodded fiercely, patted her chest, and answered seriously.

At this point, He Qing could only take the nurse in the courtyard out occasionally to buy some food and play for Chao Xi and Hong Yan.Seeing He Qing like this, Sifu Jin simply went out together, and spent a few days together in harmony.

Not to mention the grown-ups, without the constraints of the mansion, Hong Hui also let go and started making trouble.The three children played lingeringly all day. When they were tired and hungry, they asked Si Fujin to help them wash up.He Qing borrowed the cook and the kitchen from the mansion, gave pointers, and also cooked a table of delicacies by himself, which tasted extraordinarily delicious.

When I paid my respects to the Empress Dowager, and the Crown Princess advocated, these concubines in the palace, as well as the Fujin of the prince and elder brother, went to the West Lake together.Throughout the ages, the beauty of West Lake has been sought after by talented scholars, with countless stories and poems.Compared with Qinhuai's elegance, how many local girls would go boating on the lake.

He Qing looked at those veiled ladies, always followed closely by a group of servants.There are a few scholars sitting in a small boat on one side, facing the cold wind but still holding folding fans, uttering poems, looking happy and carefree.In addition to being elegant, he always eats wine in a sassy manner, with a bright atmosphere.

"Pu Chi, aren't these people cold?" San'er followed He Qing amusedly, and said from behind.

In the north, the wind and snow are heavy, and the courtyards of the buildings are like snow sculptures.It's not as if it's winter in the south, the emerald green fir leaves are swaying in the wind, and the willow branches hang down and fall to the river.The blue river flows quietly.When the wind blows, the willow leaves lightly tap the river surface to create circle after circle of ripples.He Qing was not used to the cold wind in the south, so he nodded, "This southerner is really powerful, the wind is blowing into his bones, yet he still feels hot?"

The queen mother turned her head and saw that someone had fallen behind, and told He Qing to go forward, "You two, master and servant, what are you talking about?"

He Qing explained it with a smile, and the laughing girl of the queen mother followed her to look over, "I'm afraid it's because she's too drunk and got hot."

"What kind of wine is that? It's so powerful!" He Qing's eyes were full of sparkle. From now on, I won’t be afraid of the cold weather.”

The Queen Mother slapped He Qing's hand twice, and pointed to Concubine De, "Come here, Concubine De, the drunk from your fourth family has an idea, pick it up quickly! Pick it up!"

He Qing carefully looked at the concubine De who came with a soft smile, and before she could be surprised, she pulled the queen mother to refuse, "How can you say such nonsense, I want to take the recipe, brew it and warm it, the queen mother eats it It's good to warm up."

Concubine De smiled and stretched out her hand, as if pulling a corner of the clothes on He Qing's shoulders, "Okay, I'll pick it up now."

"Queen Mother!" He Qing couldn't help but look at Concubine De, then turned around and called helplessly.

The queen mother had a headache and asked the princess to walk away with her arm.As soon as the Empress Dowager left, Concubine De took her hand back, and said lightly, "This chrysanthemum makes wine so deep that ordinary people would pour it down after eating it."

When He Qing heard this, she turned her head and was shocked to find that the expressions of those people were drunk, like a dream but not a dream.

"Master, Concubine De seems to be in good spirits." Seeing Concubine De's footsteps not slowing down, San'er followed the pace of the Empress Dowager.She sneaked forward and whispered into He Qing's ear.

He Qing nodded dully, not feeling anything about it.Concubine De is like this, one is that she is in a good mood to go out, and the most important thing is that the Queen Mother is in front of her.She also didn't want the queen mother to remember it, or the concubine to make fun of it.Concubine De is good at everything in the palace, the only rumor is that she treats four beiles and fourteen elder brothers favorably.If you treat her better, you can keep some of her.

San'er didn't take it seriously when she saw He Qing, and she didn't mind, anyway, she didn't have a good impression of Concubine De.He Qing didn't worry about it, lest she would get a hot face and a cold butt from time to time, which would be really hurtful.

After swimming in West Lake for only half a day, He Qing came back to pack his luggage, and after wandering around for two days, the group of people followed the emperor's itinerary, and drove to Jiangning again.Because of this, He Qing saw Mr. Cao weaving in Jiangning from afar.

This person is also well-known.He Qing had heard countless deeds of this person, and no one could match the closeness and trust that the emperor treated him with.What can be compared with it may be Nalan Xingde of the Yehenala clan.Nalan was capable of literary and martial arts, and was originally worthy of the emperor's brother, but it was a pity that he was not blessed enough.

He Qing glanced vaguely, and there was also Mrs. Cao.The following wives were given to the concubines, and the Fujins went down to their residences.During these days, Si Fujin and the others ate the delicate dishes of the south. After a long time, they were not used to it, and thought of the food in the capital.Food is very different from place to place, and even Chao Xi has become a little picky.He Qing had no choice but to knead the powder, fried scallion pancakes in the pan, and even Hong Hui enjoyed it.

"Hey, it's rare to have such craftsmanship as yours." Sifujin held the scallion pancakes in her hand, and she just took a bite, only to find that the scallions were fragrant and the pancakes were cooked just right, not too old and very chewy.

After Sifu Jin finished speaking, He Qing took another bite, He Qing smiled and sent a cup of tea over, "Drink some tea, you will get tired if you eat too much of this. I used to eat this too, just learning nonsense. I just went there In the kitchen, there is a cook from the north, let him do the lunch."

"So I heard that you are particular about eating, you eat more than one meal a day, and you told Honghui that your life in the East Courtyard is too much." Si Fujin put down the cake in her hand, she rarely ate cake in the past, just tasted it The taste, not to mention holding the hair oil in your hand, is very uncomfortable.

He Qing watched Si Fujin wash his hands, then turned his head towards Zhao Xi, holding half of the scallion pancake, his mouth glistening.Smiling and beckoning, he asked Zhao Xi to come closer and wiped his mouth, "Eat slowly. I won't be able to eat anymore after the real meal."

Sifujin smiled, lowered his head and asked Honghui, "Can you eat?"

Hong Hui glanced at He Qing shyly, looked down at the scallion pancake, and nodded fiercely.When he came in, he ate all kinds of flavors, such as sweet, bitter and spicy. He ate a simple scallion pancake all at once, but he ate it very tasty.

When it was time to cook, He Qing tore a piece and tasted it.It is very satisfying to see the children cheering.

It's just that at night, the whole house is preparing to receive the emperor, even they are not immune, and they met the local ladies.He Qing's identity is not conspicuous among them, it is just a toast as usual.He Qing always took a sip, or put on a show, but it was nothing.

Halfway through eating, the children were called over by the emperor.

He Qing didn't understand what it meant, and after eating, she waited for her two sons and daughters holding sugar bags.Hong Zhe didn't make a sound, stepped forward and gave the sugar bag to He Qing, and dropped it on the ground along the way.Zhao Xi smiled happily, "Erji, the old lady gave me a bitter gourd jade pendant, as well as sugar!"

Chao Xi wore a flower-carved round jade pendant around his waist, but He Qing didn't see clearly at a glance, so he glanced at Hong Zhe's waist and nodded, "Bitter melon is so good, the old lady gave you candy, so you can't eat it all at once. "

He Qing was afraid that Zhao Xi would not be able to stop when she opened her mouth with the candy in her hand.Hearing this, Zhao Xi reluctantly gave half of the candy to He Qing.He Qing's hand shook, Zhao Xi looked concerned, took half of the sugar bag from He Qing's hand, and gave He Qing the sugar bag.He Qing put all the scattered things in her hand into the bag, and then she was satisfied to let the two little ones wash up.

Hong Zhe was still a little unsteady when he was walking, so He Qing hugged her into the bed, sat on the edge of the bed and combed Zhao Xi's hair, watched the two children lie down under the quilt and closed their eyes, then got up and changed their clothes.

The emperor's southern tour, one is to survey the river engineering, and the other is to persuade the farmers to teach.It has been more than four months since I walked all the way, and I only saw local characteristics and performances after I finished the inspection of important things.The Queen Mother happily listened to the big show, and just took a rest, and with Si Fujin by her side, He Qing didn't expect Si Bei Le to take her out.When Tian Fang Fujin was free, the two met and went out.As for Chaoxi and Hongzhu, they went to play with those little elder brothers and little princesses.

The guards followed behind, and He Qing asked San'er to buy street snacks.I bought another freshly baked lotus leaf chicken, "I bought it in a local side street, and it's even better than those delicious dishes."

Tian Fang Fujin also bought it, and the two of them bought some delicately embroidered handkerchiefs and other items along the way.After returning home with a full load, it happened that Si Bei Le and Si Fujin came out of the courtyard.Not knowing where the two were going, Si Bei Le took a look at He Qing, nodded slightly, and left.

He Qing didn't speak, Tian Fang Fujin wanted to comfort him, but saw a little servant at the gate of the courtyard looking around.Seeing He Qing, he hurried forward, "I don't know if Wu Ze Fujin saw Si Bei Le?"

The little servant was the one who brought tea and water with He Qing in the yard, He Qing recognized him and nodded, "I've seen it."

"Why didn't Wu Ze Fujin go out with Si Bei Le?" The little slave looked anxious, with some sighs in his eyes.

Tian Fang Fujin couldn't help but feel a little strange, "Go out with Sibeile?" But what's the matter?

The little servant shook her head, she is a little maid, she knows not to say anything.It's just, "Sibeile waited for Wu Ze Fujin in the yard for a long time. After Si Fujin knew about it, he said that it was He Tian Ce Fujin who had gone out, so he went out and said he was walking."

He Qing pursed her lips, thinking that Sibei Le still had an unswerving expression when she saw her just now, and couldn't help but smile.In this way, his face became even more strange, "Okay, I understand."

Tian Fang Fujin knew some of He Qing's temperament, seeing her like this, he knew that he was in a happy mood, so he pursed his lips and said nothing.It's just that this slave, with a random temper and unruly manner, is fortunately not one who follows them.

At night, Sibeile came over with a slightly gloomy face.He Qing thought it was something during the day, so she sat on the side and explained, "I thought that Si Bei Le was busy with business and should take a rest. Seeing you accompany the emperor to the theater, I can't get past Si Fujin, right?" If two women go out together, they will inevitably be jealous and unhappy.

Si Bei Le shook his head, put his arms around He Qing, and whispered, "A letter from the palace, Mrs. Zhang Jia's respectful concubine is not good."
