Chapter 223 The Embarrassment of the Concubine
Seeing him nodding, Liuli asked Haitang to invite him to the backyard.

Ningshuang heard that the general was in the grandma's room, and grandma called for someone to invite her. Even though she was a little unhappy, she had to go because of the things she had to do.Immediately dress up and change clothes, and arrived at the main room after a while.

Liuli was having tea with Qi Yunhao in the small flower hall, Haitang brought Ningshuang in, and before Liuli could speak, she cried when she saw Qi Yunhao Ningshuang. "The general decides for the servants!" As he spoke, his legs softened and he knelt on the ground, helping Qi Yunhao's knees to wipe away his tears.

Seeing that she entered the scene very quickly, Liuli simply stopped talking.Let Haitang serve a cup of tea, then pick up a copybook on the desk and read it.

Qi Yunhao frowned, staring at his feet and weeping into tears.Thinking about it, he was a little surprised. After all, he knew about Liuli taking his brand to the palace to seek medical treatment, but he hadn't had time to listen to the report of what happened in the middle.

Liuli didn't interrupt, didn't even look at it, and concentrated on studying the copybook above.The slave didn't take her seriously, and didn't even say hello when he came in, so why should she give her face?If she wants to find her general, let her find it!She has this leisurely mind, so it is much better to study what to do with the shopkeeper of Shangpin Study Room this month!

"What's the trouble?"

Qi Yunhao finally couldn't bear it any longer, and yelled at him in a low voice.

"General!" Ningshuang sat beside her face and said sadly: "Ningshuang has no face to live! Yesterday, yesterday Ningshuang was unwell, and then, there was a wild doctor who didn't know where he invited, he took Ningshuang I was insulted!"

Qi Yunhao made a rule not to bring anyone into the inner house when he is not around, not only to make Liuli suspect that he is possessive of the two in Lanxin Garden, no one who knows this admonition thinks otherwise.Of course, Ningshuang thought so too.That's why she came up with a plan to force Liuli to go out to invite a doctor while Qi Yunhao was not around, and let her take the blame.In her opinion, as long as Qi Yunhao heard that she was being touched by someone, he would definitely ask Liuli about it!So this time she came here, she was full of confidence, no matter what, she had to play a game for herself.

However, she would never have imagined that Liuli hired an imperial physician for her, and not only the imperial physician, but also explained the history of the imperial physician to Qi Yunhao, and even showed him the list.Then even Qi Yunhao would suspect that it was Liulibu who let Ningshuang come in. When she explained it so frankly, she made it clear that I am not afraid that you will doubt me. If you are suspicious, you can go to the palace to investigate.Qi Yunhao is not a fool, how could he doubt her again?

With a smile on the corner of Liuli's lips, she was calm, as if she didn't hear anything.

Qi Yunhao looked at Ningshuang who was kneeling on her knees and staring at her eagerly.

Ningshuang was born with a delicate and lovely appearance, but now she cries again, she looks like a poor little girl who has been bullied by the world.But this appearance was carefully designed by her before she went out. Qi Yunhao's intentions were unpredictable, so she had to put in extra effort.

He turned his head away, frowned and said, "Get up."

Unexpectedly by this result, Ningshuang was stunned, but her legs couldn't help getting up.

He took out the prescription written by Wu Zixin from under the tea tray, handed it to her, and said, "Grandma invited you an imperial doctor from the palace. You are also literate. This is the prescription. Take it to someone to get the medicine." .”

The grievance on Ningshuang's face suddenly collapsed, she had stayed in Prince Qing's Mansion for a long time, how could she not recognize the special emblem on the prescription prescribed by the Imperial Hospital!

"Give grandma a treat, and then go back to take care of her. Don't leave the room for a month."

Qi Yunhao frowned more and more tightly, and said.

Ningshuang didn't know what to do.Do not go out of the room for a month, this is not what a foot ban is!Liuli hired an imperial doctor for her, why didn't she know!The imperial physicians in the palace need to have special and detailed records every time they go out of the palace to see a doctor. How could they offend the wife and family of a minister?She said that Wu Zixin offended her, not to mention that Qi Yunhao would not believe it, even a three-year-old child would not believe it!
Looking at Liuli who ignored her at all, she felt that she had become a joke in an instant.This woman looks like she's doing nothing, but she's doing everything.She gritted her teeth, but couldn't help shivering.Although Qi Yunhao didn't ask her where she went, but there is no need to ask, there is nothing else he doesn't know.Right now he is lucky not to pursue what he did in front of the imperial physician, what face can she get back?
If he really wanted to pursue it, even if she insisted on killing him, he would go to the palace to ask the imperial doctor.

She bit her lower lip and walked up to Liuli, knelt down and bowed down.

"My maidservant pays respects to Grandma! This servant mistakenly blamed Grandma, and please forgive me."

Liuli seemed to be taken aback, jumped up quickly, helped her up with both hands, and said, "Oh, it's Miss Ningshuang. When did you come? Don't worry, the bruise on her forehead hasn't healed yet. The ground here is pretty hard, I said earlier that I should not kowtow, and this mark will never go away, and if it leaves a scar later, what good would it be?"

She said it with a smile on the one hand, with a cold expression.

Of course it is impossible for Qi Yunhao not to hear, nor is it impossible not to know that she did it on purpose.But so what?This is his concubine, if you don't take her as a regular wife seriously, then you don't take him seriously!Seeing her here, he didn't even know how to greet her. Doesn't this show that pampers are arrogant?The people in the room have no rules, and he is also responsible!Although this time she plotted against him and borrowed him to punish Ningshuang, but if he can lose face because of this, then she will obey him!

They can do whatever they like in front of him, but when they come to her, they must obey the rules.

Qi Yunhao glanced at her, then turned her head again.

Liuli felt very comfortable, she didn't feel that Ningshuang was pitiful at this time, it was kind enough to not treat her into a madman.

But since she was fined for a month of grounding, then let's accept it as soon as it's good.

"Haitang, send Miss Ningshuang back. What's missing, let people go back and forth."

Liuli gave orders, then turned to face the person in the room, paused, and said virtuously: "It's getting late, the general is going to rest in the study room or Lanxin Garden tonight?"

Qi Yunhao got up with a gloomy face, stood there for a while, walked to the door with big strides, suddenly turned back, walked in front of her a few steps, and tapped her on the head lightly.

Liuli's neck immediately shrank, and she raised her hand to cover her head.He glared at her angrily before turning around and stepping out again.

Seeing his leaving back, Liuli laughed.

She knew that he was blaming her for plotting against him, but she did design the dignified General Zhen Guo to punish his concubine, and it was not wrong to suffer this.As long as the goal is achieved, what's the point of suffering this painless one?
Qi Yunhao still lives in the study.Although he knew that it would be bad for him to spread such things, but Liuli's leg injury was not healed, and there was no way to change the status quo for a while.But no one dared to doubt her innocence, and everyone thought they had consummated their marriage, so in fact there was nothing to worry about.This kind of thing, let it take its course.

When she woke up the next morning, Qi Yunhao had already gone out.Ling Lan said, the general has gone to court early.It was only then that Liuli remembered that after being married for so many days, he should have had no vacations, and it was time for him to go to court early every day.And as usual, he had to go to the camp to handle official duties after the morning court, which meant that he spent less and less time in the mansion.

If he is not in the mansion, then he should close the door and live his own life.

The news of Ningshuang's punishment was naturally heard by everyone in and out of the courtyard. Unavoidably, some uninformed people thought that Liuli was running on them, like this phenomenon where there were concubines in the house before the mistress got married. She had a premonition that there would be some storms after passing through the door. Of course, there were various rumors in private, and she believed even more that there is no woman in the world who is not jealous, let alone a first-time wife who cannot tolerate a concubine. For Ningshuang, there is actually A little bit of sympathy.

Liuli really didn't think deeply about the issues between wives and concubines, because although she is now a regular wife, Aunt Su is a concubine. If one looks at it from Aunt Su's point of view, then there is really nothing to criticize from people's views. I just can't tolerate Aunt Su.But she is not Mrs. Yu, and she is not any of the four wives of the He Mansion. She really doesn't take Ningshuang and the others to heart. Their existence is an indelible fact before her. If she competes with them again, Are you competing with yourself?

Of course, if they competed with her, the nature would be different.

These two days without those two troublemakers, it was much quieter, Hanxue still came to pay her respects every day, but she didn't dare to say anything.She is honest, so Liuli is polite to her, and every time she comes back to talk about flowers and pinks, she gradually becomes less restrained, and sometimes she will talk to Liuli about things in the house, of course they are not related to sensitive topics .

The content of sensitive topics, such as the property in the mansion, the relationship between Qi Yunhao and Dingbei Wang and his wife, etc.Other than that, you can talk about it.

For example, when we happened to be talking about the current weather, we brought up such a topic. "A few days ago, the ice cellar in the palace was broken, and the several jars of wine hidden in it were also broken. Otherwise, in such a hot day, grandma could go and bring a jar to relieve the heat."

Wine is a kind of thing that came from the Western Regions. It is rare and difficult to store, so it can only be seen in the homes of the rich and powerful in Beijing.Liuli tasted it once when she was in front of the old lady, and it may have been many years now.Hearing this, he said, "The ice cellar is fine, why is it broken?"

Hanxue shook her fan, glanced at her, and said: "The ice cellar is set up in the back garden. The second master was entertaining guests in the back garden that day, and he also brought out wine to entertain guests. It melted and turned into a well.”

Liuli didn't understand the meaning, so she hummed and listened to it as gossip.

Hanxue sighed, and said: "It's a pity that our general has contributed a lot. In retrospect, he brought these wines all the way back from the northwest. There was no place to store them, so we had to store them in the ice cellar. In the past two years, he was often away from the mansion, so he probably forgot about this floor."
