Chapter 180 Someone Makes an Appointment
Unexpectedly, after Guo Xia finished speaking, she suddenly said: "I heard that you got into trouble with others in the palace?"

Liuli's scalp went numb, and she quickly stood up and knelt down, "Forgive me sir, I did chat with the sisters of the Yu family and the village owner of the Xue family."

Guo Xia groaned, and placed pieces on the chessboard without even asking for details. She raised her chin towards the other end of the classroom and said, "I will leave the cleaning in the classroom to you within three months."

Liuli took over the cleaning of the classroom for the past three months. Every day, she had to come to the Wutong courtyard early, and after school, she had to leave half an hour later than others, so she spent a lot less time in the long room.

Huanhua heard that she had been punished so severely for the sake of the Yu family sisters and Xue Chengyue, and thought she was very wronged, so she volunteered to explain the whole story to Guo Xia, but Guo Xia also stayed behind to receive the punishment, because Liuli was in the process of flirting with others. At the time of the dispute, as an older sister and from the same family, she didn't come out.
Face to dissuade.Huanhua is so sincere that he is willing to advance and retreat with Liuli every day.

It's really embarrassing to make Liuli feel embarrassed.

That day when the two of them finished cleaning, Liuli asked her to come to the small courtyard of the long house for dinner. She asked the big kitchen to add some dishes and heat up a pot of fruit wine. On the kang, have a drink.

Huanhua covered his mouth with his sleeve and took a sip of wine, then suddenly sighed: "In three or five days, the fourth sister will get married, and after the new year, the third sister will get married again, and then there will be only four of us left in the house." That's it. Sixth Sister will soon be engaged, and we will be even more deserted by then."

Liuli took some food for her, and said: "At the end of the year, the Fifth Young Mistress will also come to the mansion, and there will be more people added to the mansion. The man here went out, and the man at the other end came in again, isn't it the same?"

"How can it be the same?" Huanhua recognized the truth, "We played together for the sake of eating and playing together. They came later, so of course they are different. Ever since I came back from the palace, I have seen you and the third sister It's like there is something between them, even the pretended intimacy in the past is gone, we are all sisters, why is this so?"

Whenever Huanhua talked about the relationship between Liuli and Yuhua, he always blamed her with half-complaint.Hearing what she meant, even she could see that there was something wrong between them. Liuli had heard it before, but today she smiled half-truthfully, "I'm not afraid that you will know, even if I can tolerate her, She can't stand me either."

Liuli originally thought that she was going to retort naively, "How could that be?" She didn't want her to fall silent after hearing this, and sighed, "I know you too. Sometimes I'm just wishful thinking. It’s good to be peaceful and beautiful, but it’s always found out later that things are always counterproductive.”

Liuli instinctively felt that she had something on her mind, and when she thought about what Rui'er said this morning, Madam Wu by Qi's side had been running to the pharmacy frequently, but she never called Wu Yinzhong in, so she asked, "Is there something wrong with the third lady?"

Huanhua smiled wryly: "You saw it too?"

Liuli was stunned.Huanhua glanced at her, then smiled wryly: "I only trust you in the mansion. To tell you the truth, my mother has been preparing to conceive a child. As far as I know, it has been a year or two. The body seems to be well-raised, and it is being prepared secretly. You said, if a person like her has a biological child, whether it is male or female, will there still be a place for me in the future?"

Liuli was really frightened by this jump.

No wonder I always feel that Mrs. Qi has been sneaking around in the house for the past two years, always presuming that she is unwell, but never really diagnosed any illness, so it turned out to be this idea!In this way, it is worthy of deliberation that she did not choose Aunt Ning's two sons to adopt, but Huanhua, a girl, to raise.After all, if she raised Aunt Ning's son as the first son, then no matter how close her future son is, he can only be the second son at most. What about the son occupying the position of eldest son?
But it's different if she caresses a daughter. At her age, she doesn't have many chances of having two children, and adopting a daughter as the eldest daughter will not cause any irreversible impact. Huanhua knew this, and naturally felt Not happy.

However, after all, the Qi family gave her a talisman to use her to drive away the people from the Yu family in the big kitchen. Judging from Qi's attitude towards this adopted daughter, even if she can't give birth Even Huanhua couldn't be caring and considerate.

Huanhua himself knows this level of Liuli, so there is no need for her to say anything.In this world, birth is important and status is the most important.Everyone can't choose their origin, but they can fight for their status.

Liuli saw Qi Shi again on the auspicious day of Shuhua's marriage.This is the first happy event since the old lady came to the mansion due to her serious illness. Although the second room is a concubine, but because Shuhua married Song Pi's son, Song Pi was promoted to Pingzhang's political affairs not long ago, and his uncle Song Ziyu is the elder brother of the future emperor's eldest grandson. In addition, the He Mansion has a close relationship with the Dingbei Prince's Mansion. With these layers, it looks extra grand, and there are more visitors than before.

As the family head of the He Mansion, the Qi family, no matter how tough they are internally, has given the He Mansion a lot of face externally. Now that the old lady is gone, she tidies up the entire Begonia Courtyard to entertain the female guests. Naturally, there are male guests. He Pusong hosted the reception together with the old lady and others, and it was set up in the Yinsong Courtyard under the Erdao Gate.

Now that Liuli doesn't have to accompany the old lady, she has become more and more alone, sitting in Shuhua's room with the girls for a while, and when Yuhua came, she went back to the long room.At any rate, she and Shuhua had a bickering friendship, who knew if that lunatic Yuhua would take the opportunity to do something?She didn't want to make things difficult for Shuhua, so she avoided it for now.

Shuhua accepted her favor, and when she saw her get up, she nodded at her and kept Yuhua back.

Seeing Liuli strolling around, Guo Xia called her to be by her side, and went to pay her respects to the eldest concubine of Prince Yu's residence together.

Not only the heirs and his wife of Prince Yu's residence came to appreciate the meeting, but also the side concubine of Ning Wang because of her sister Luo Mingzhu's relationship. The Qi family was afraid of being neglected, so they invited Guo Xia to accompany the guests.Guo Xia used to be a teacher in Prince Yu's mansion, so he was acquainted with the prince and his wife. Although Concubine Luo was young, she was introduced by Prince Yu's concubine, and Chunyang was also there, so they naturally got to know each other very quickly.

"I heard that Mr. Guo made an exception to accept a disciple in the He Mansion. I think it is this nine girls." Concubine concubine called her awkward, and King Yu was a prince, so outsiders respectfully called her little concubine Qi.Concubine Concubine Qi looked at Liuli with a smile and nodded.

Guo Xia smiled and said, "Liuli is smart, witty, calm and decisive. I like it very much, so I took him as a disciple."

Chun Yang also said from the side: "It's rare to be very filial. When the old lady was still there, she was the one who waited on her inside and outside, taking care of everything."

Concubine Qi looked at Liuli, nodded more and more appreciatively, and said: "Smart people are easy to get in the world, but truly kind and filial people are rare." Then she took off a pair of filigree phoenix bracelets and gave her a reward.Side concubine Luo also rewarded a string of fragrant enamel beads.

After Liuli knelt down and thanked her, Guo Xia said, "Go find the girls to accompany the female guest." Send her out.

Liuli only regarded the greeting arranged by Guo Xia as an ordinary meeting, but she never expected that after sending Shuhua to the sedan chair and returning to the long room, Ruier suddenly handed her a post, it turned out that it was Concubine Qi who invited her Three days later, I went to Jinquan Temple to offer incense on the first day of the lunar new year!

As the most underrated concubine in the He Mansion, when did she become so important that even the Crown Princess of the Prince Yu's Mansion asked her to offer incense in person!

She instinctively felt that Guo Xia knew about this, so she went to Wutong Courtyard with a letter. Sure enough, after reading the post, Guo Xia smiled and said: "This little concubine Qi is very kind, so go if you have an appointment. Observe the rules, don't Just make a mistake."

Liuli was even more puzzled, but Guo Xia had already picked up the teacup to see off the guests, so she had no choice but to back out.

Rui'er didn't know what was written in the post, but when she saw that her face was very solemn after receiving the post, she thought something serious happened, so she wrung her handkerchief anxiously beside her.Liuli herself can't explain why, it is said that it is a great honor to be invited to meet by the prince and concubine, but people from all walks of life outside know that the nine girls of He Mansion have had conflicts with several noble women in Yonghe Palace, and now their reputation is not good Well, she didn't think it would be such a pleasant meeting.

But no matter what, she had to go, so she stubbornly showed the post to the old man. After the old man was amazed, he immediately ordered people to prepare chariots and horses, and asked Nine Girls to accompany Prince Yu to the temple to offer incense on the first day of the lunar new year.

This day came in a blink of an eye, before Liuli figured out what the relationship between Prince Yu's Mansion, Prime Minister You's Mansion and Uncle Fengyuan's mansion is, is it possible that sisters Yu Songru and Xue Chengyue will also go together, to take revenge or something, early in the morning Aunt Su asked Hengwei to wake her up from the bed, and began to dress up vigorously.

Because of her master's low-key temperament, Rui'er deliberately chooses Qingya when she sews clothes for her.So much so that I can't find any more gorgeous clothes if I want to pick them up now.Rui'er also regrets it very much, if she had known that her master would have today, she should have made several brightly colored sets for preparation.In the end, I only picked out a brocade with small light yellow and silver flowers among a pile of plain clothes, and as usual I took a light blue one to keep with me, and I put a single bun on my head, and inserted a few Zhizhuhua, although it is still very plain, is somewhat solemn after all.

"It's not right for you to go alone."

Aunt Su saw that Rui'er Yuegui was not sophisticated, she was afraid that she would be rude in front of the concubine, so after much deliberation, she pushed Hengwei to her.

Liu Liyin was also wary that this was some kind of idea of ​​Yu's sisters trying to persuade the concubine, in case of any unexpected accident, it would be better to have someone more mature by her side, so she didn't refuse.She secretly prepared two sharp golden hairpins in her sleeves, so that she would not be so passive if she encountered a crisis like the Royal Garden again.
