Queen's scheming

Chapter 42 Meeting Again ([-])

One autumn rain and one cold.Shen Qingyi Yingying stood alone under the vermilion lacquer-carved porch, holding Su Zhai's ledger, flipping through the pages. It not only recorded the daily money in and out, but the most important thing was who went to Su Zhai to tailor clothes with whom. .Basically, all the Gaomen Hou Mansions in the capital patronized Shen Qingyi's shop, of course they didn't know that behind Su Zhai, the real master belonged to Shen Qingyi.

When she saw the page of Duke Feng's Mansion, Shen Qingyi frowned slightly, and her fingertips lightly slid over the days when Shen Ye went in and out of the vegetarian restaurant. She bought ten sets of clothes in a month, which really didn't suit Shen Ye. His handwriting.Shen Qingyi looked carefully, and there was Yu Zhu's small script on the side, which said that Shen Ye brought a young and beautiful woman to Su Zhai, claiming to be her natal niece.

Now Mother Su, Eunuch Chen, and Yu Zhuyin were originally servants of Ningsu Palace. In order to avoid being recognized and implicate Shen Qingyi, they all observe people in the back hall. The bamboo will be marked on the ledger.

"Yu Lian, how are the two aunts in this Palace?" Shen Qingyi looked at Yu Lian who was fiddling with the bronze lotus incense burner and asked.Every few days Yu Lian goes out of the palace, and will go to Feng Guogong in person.

Yu Lian handed the spoon of spices in her hand to the little maids at the side, waved them to retreat, and replied beside Shen Qingyi, "The two aunts are very popular with the Duke, and they stay with them on weekdays. Madam can only see Mr. Feng Guogong at dinner time.” Yu Lian laughed as she spoke, she was taught by Yu Lian herself, not to mention just dealing with Feng Guo Gong, she is a popular person. The top card is also made.

"Did they mention Madam's niece?" Shen Qingyi didn't remember who else was in Shen Ye's natal family, and the origin of this woman was really suspicious.

Yu Lian was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said, "I don't have this one, otherwise I should go out of the palace to take a look. Anyway, there is nothing to do today." Looking at Shen Qingyi's expression, Yu Lian felt that this Shen Ye family's natal family There must be something wrong with the niece.

"Well, go and have a look. If you can't find anything, then let those two aunts be more careful, don't wait until one day they are taken away from favors, and come to ask this palace to be the master." Looking for a beautiful woman, buying clothes at a high price, if it is said that Shen Yeshi is not planning anything, Shen Qingyi will not believe it.

Yu Lian responded and left.It would be too embarrassing for the person she trained to be taken away by others.

Citrus and mint spices were mixed and burned, and wisps of winding smoke drifted out. Shen Qingyi stared at the smoke for a long time without speaking.

Yuhe carried a small box containing tranquilizing incense, and when she walked to the corridor, she was watching this scene.Shen Qing Yigui is a queen, but she has never really smiled.Sometimes she didn't understand why Shen Qingyi was so worried. Although she had to face other concubines' tricks and schemes, which Gaomenhou's mansion didn't have this, let alone the intrigue between the concubine and the wife. Even Miss Boudoir, sisters and brothers also fight openly and secretly, as long as one's husband treats oneself well, it is the best.

Based on Yuhe's observations these days, the emperor Li Tianyou treated Shen Qingyi not so well. It can be said that he kept it in his mouth for fear of melting, and held it in his hand for fear of falling. Yuhe has grown so big, and he has never seen anyone Treat another person as well as Li Tianyou treats Shen Qingyi, but because of a woman's intuition, Yu He always feels that Shen Qingyi treats Li Tianyou as if she is not at arm's length. There is a sense of distance, which really puzzles Yu He.

Shen Qingyi used this tranquilizing incense every day, but even so, Shen Qingyi still couldn't sleep well, and often woke up crying at night, calling for the emperor's son, the voice was like the cold wind blowing through a cave in winter, it made people feel icy cold.The empress is probably feeling sorry for the unborn little prince, but always doing this will not help, the little prince has already gone, Shen Qingyi can't let it go like this, it will only hurt her body.The imperial doctor said that Shen Qingyi had postpartum disorders, her liver qi was stagnant, she could no longer get angry, she had to let go of her mind, but even if Li Tianyou was by her side every day, there was no improvement.

"Your Majesty." Yu He stepped forward to remind her softly, Shen Qingyi turned her head, she was at a loss for a moment, then lost her mind again, as always like this recently.

Yuhe looked at the drizzle outside the corridor, and said with a smile, "My lady loves rainy days the most, so I have free time today, why don't my lady accompany us to play hide-and-seek?"

"Hide and seek? Is it raining?" Shen Qingyi raised her eyebrows and asked. "How to hide people in this rainy day?"

Yuhe was also in a hurry, and wanted to arouse Shen Qingyi's interest. Originally, shuttlecock kicking was a common game among court ladies, but she couldn't play it in this rainy day, so she casually mentioned hide-and-seek. When Shen Qingyi asked, Yuhe hurriedly found a countermeasure. We can’t hide it in Ningsu Palace on rainy days, but the Imperial Garden can. There are so many rockery pavilions in the Imperial Garden, you can hide them anywhere, and the place is so big, it’s not easy to find. I don’t know if the empress has the confidence to find the servants ?”

Shen Qingyi was grateful for Yuhe's thoughts, but it was just to make her happy, since she had nothing to do anyway, so she nodded her head in agreement.

Seeing Shen Qingyi's answer, Yuhe hurriedly got up and changed into a red brocade slanted lapel jacket with narrow sleeves and pinched the waist for Shen Qingyi, which was easy to move around. The cuffs were covered with a wide moon-white bottom snow forging, on which was embroidered with complicated lace. The neckline is trimmed with white fox fur, and under the bright red Shu brocade pomegranate skirt is a pair of cherry-colored shoes embroidered with oriental beads.The hair is tied in a small lily bun, and a pair of earrings with silver threads and onyx are worn on only one ear, which is simple and elegant.Yu He sized it up and down, but still felt that something was wrong, turned around and found a cloak with dark patterns of red peony and tied it for Shen Qingyi, then nodded in satisfaction, "Master, let's go?"

Shen Qingyi laughed at herself, "I really don't know if you are the master or I am the master, that's all, I will follow you all today, if someone deliberately lets me find it later, I will be the first to find it, but I will be punished." .”

Shen Qingyi brought Yuhe and other four court ladies, and ran for the imperial garden with oil-paper umbrellas of various colors. They deliberately found an area that people don't often come to. Shen Qingyi was tied up by a frost-colored veil , smiled and said, "I will untie the veil to find you when I count to twenty. Remember, I have clear rewards and punishments. I deliberately give way to me. The first one found will be punished." People clean the main hall, and the last one found will be rewarded with a three-day rest, don't miss this opportunity." Yu He and the others heard this, and before Shen Qingyi could count, they scattered in all directions and waited. When Shen Qingyi counted to five, no one was there.
