blue bird song

Chapter 37
Shen Mo smiled, "Ping'er, since you can't forget it, then remember it." Deng Zhiping nodded shyly.

The wheels moved forward slowly, and Shen Mo swayed along with the carriage, her thoughts wandering.Did he win Yu'er?Although Deng Qi was snatched away and Yu'er was forced to go away, Yu'er not only did not lose her strength, she even got married, gave birth to a son, and became Mrs. Yipin Hou!If she is like this, can she be called a loser?

lost.Shen Mo thought about it all the way, and finally decided that Yu'er lost.why?Firstly, her husband and son-in-law are just a Marquis who has no real power, has a false name, and is not handsome enough, too ordinary, far inferior to Deng Qi.Second, she has a wild girl!As long as that wild girl lives for a day, she will not be able to cover up that experience, how shameless and painful it was.As long as that wild girl lives for a day, she will have a hostage in Deng's house, in her hands, unable to straighten her back.Qi Yu, do you want to hold your head high and feel proud?Don't you think about your daughter, she still depends on the Deng family to live!
"Yu'er, you gave birth to that wild girl to give me a clue." Shen Mo smiled at Mimi, "The trick for a lifetime."

In Yangwuhou's Mansion, Qi Yu's life was flat and warm, passing by quickly, and before she knew it, her son was already full moon.Xue Neng wrote it with great interest. The second son's full moon banquet was very grand and full of guests.

After the full moon, Qi Yu's grandfather came to see her.When Qi Yu heard that his grandfather was coming, he was overjoyed, and rushed to welcome him in, making tea for the old man himself.

The grandfather waved away the maid, and told the story of the Deng family and Qingque with a calm expression, "... Now Niuniu is the eldest daughter of the Deng family, temporarily living in the British government, and everything is in order."

The smile on Qi Yu's face froze, very embarrassed.It was too embarrassing for my grandfather to know how stupid he was back then, and it made people want to dig into the ground.

"I know you blame me, blame me for hiding it from you." Qi Yu was stunned, with a sad face, "Grandfather, you were not in good health back then, and I can only be filial to you, how can I take the wrong things I have done?" To trouble you? Even if I bite the bullet and tell you, what can I do?"

"If Qingque is a boy, even if I risk my life, I will fight for him to be the eldest son, so that he will become the master of the Deng family one day. But Qingque is a girl, and you are the replacement What's the use of her fighting for fame? Girls, they just grow up and get married."

Qi Yu talked about the past desolately, with tears streaming down his face.At first, I couldn't bear to say it, didn't dare to say it, then I didn't want to say it, and then I refused to say it, so I kept it from my relatives and my grandfather.

"Confused!" Wang Tangjing reprimanded: "What's the use of blindly concealing it? Niu Niu has no serious identity, how embarrassing, you are her mother, don't you know how to think about her? What about you? If you go out, maybe One day, you will be squeezed, humiliated, and ridiculed by the Deng family, and your reputation will be ruined. Yu'er, you turned a blind eye to such a big hidden danger."

Qi Yu shed tears, bowed her head and was speechless.

Wang Tangjing sighed, and said gently: "Yu'er, now that your status has been confirmed, you were only once married to Deng Qi, and then divorced. No one can pour dirty water on you."

Qi Yu whimpered, "Grandfather saved me again..."

What is saved is reputation and life.

Wang Tangjing gently ordered, "When Yu'er returns to Ning, send someone to tell her grandfather in advance. My grandfather will go and pick up Niuniu, and your mother and daughter will have a small gathering for half a day."

Qi Yu opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.Finally, a silent nod.

On the day of Laba, Qingque was picked up by Wang Tangjing and drank Laba porridge.

There are two large braziers in the upper room, which are warm and cozy.The large kang facing the window is covered with orangutan felt, and there are stone blue backrests and pillows.A small baby was lying on the kang, and his mother sat beside him, gazing tenderly at his sleeping face.

Qing Que was smiling happily. When she entered the house, she was stunned when she saw the woman sitting on the kang.The fairy lady, really the fairy lady, the fairy lady who misses day and night.

Qi Yu looked up and saw her, his eyes fixed.

Qingque was stunned for a while, trembling slightly, walking slowly towards Qi Yu step by step.

He walked to the Kang and stopped.

Qing Que looked expectantly at Fairy Lady, as if saying, "Love me, hug me, I'm your own daughter."

Qi Yu avoided her gaze and looked at the sleeping baby.

"This is your brother." Qi Yu said politely, pointing at the baby.

Qing Que followed her fingers and looked at the baby fascinated, "Brother is so small."

The face is about the size of a pear, except for one face, everything is covered tightly, which is really interesting.

Qi Yu said calmly, "My brother will protect you when he grows up."

Qing Que raised her small face, her big eyes gleamed with joy and pride, "I am older than my younger brother, I will protect my younger brother!"

Qingque's eyes were sincere, her tone was sincere, and what she said obviously came from her heart.Although Qi Yu felt that she was bragging like a child, she was also touched in the bottom of her heart, and smiled slightly, "That's it, thank you very much."

The tone is not affectionate, very distant.

It was rare for Qing Que to be so close to her fairy-like mother, and she couldn't control her excitement. Sometimes she looked up at Qi Yu in admiration, and sometimes she looked down at the baby in fascination, with a sweet smile on her face.

This is my mother, this is my brother, that's great.

Qi Yu had been married to Xue Neng for four or five years, and gradually got used to the identity of Mrs. Xue, the husband-in-law and children of the Xue family.As Mrs. Xue, her life is warm and comfortable, leisurely.She is not used to facing Qing Que, who is already a half-grown child, and tried several times to be more intimate with Qing Que, but in the end she failed.

Great-grandfather drank Laba porridge with Qi Yu and Qing Que.Laba porridge is boiled with glutinous rice, with ginkgo, walnut kernels, and chestnuts added. Red dates, raisins, longan, melon seeds, and green red silk are sprinkled on the porridge surface. It is fragrant, glutinous, and very delicious.

"The Laba porridge I've been drinking for so many years is the best this year!" Qing Que put down the small bowl with a satisfied smile on her face.

Great-grandfather couldn't help laughing, and Qi Yu smiled too.How old are you? How many years have you been drinking Laba porridge?

Before parting, Qingque smiled and Mimi looked at the baby in the swaddle, "Good brother, grow up quickly! When you grow up, sister's pony will be for you to ride, treasure bow for you to use, and all fun things will be for you." you play!"

The great-grandfather caressed her little head, "Niu Niu is really a good sister and a friendly brother."

The great-grandfather brought the blue sparrows back to the British government, and Qi Yu sent them to the Chuihua Gate.The great-grandfather got into the sedan chair first, leaving only Qi Yu and Qingque in front of the hanging flower gate.

Qi Yu is wearing a luxurious sable cloak with a jacquard satin face, and a snow-white white fox collar around his neck. His beautiful face is more beautiful than frost and snow.Qingque looked at her with nostalgia, unable to move.

"That, I always carry the dagger." Qing Que took out the dagger that Qi Yu handed her back then, "If I see Shen Mo, I will definitely kill her!"

Qi Yu's body trembled, and she fixed her gaze on Qing Que.Qing Que held a small dagger in her hand, her eyes were warm, as if she was waiting for her praise.

Qi Yu squatted down, and the snow-white cloak fell to the ground, but she ignored it, "Qingque, if she bullies you, you can't sit still. If she doesn't provoke you first, you can't act rashly."

Qingque listened carefully, nodded, "I listen to you."

Qi Yu stood up slowly, her eyes were full of autumn water, and her expression was complicated.She wanted to love Qing Que very much, but Qing Que's surname was Deng, and she was a child of the Deng family. When she saw Qing Que, she always thought of Deng Qi as a heartless person, and felt disgusted.

Qing Que returned to the British government, her eyes sparkling with excitement, "Grandpa Zeng's Laba porridge is delicious, it's so delicious!"

The British princess teased her, "It's so delicious, Niuniu didn't bring back a bowl for auntie?" Qing Que said proudly, "It's so delicious, there's not even a bowl left!" That smug look amused everyone all laugh.

Zhang Hu approached her slowly, smiled lightly, and looked around above her head.Qing Que stretched out her hands to cover her head vigilantly, her eyes widened, "Brother Hu, what are you staring at?"

"It's nothing." Zhang Hu said slowly, "I just want to see if your braids are up to the sky."

The British father-in-law sprayed the tea, and the British father-in-law's smile trembled wildly. Zhang You took the nanny's hand and asked the nanny to rub her belly.Qing Que stared at Zhang Hu, and asked angrily, "Where do I have pigtails? How can I have pigtails? I wear a bun, okay?"

Zhang Hu quickly changed his words, "Let's see if your Baotou is up to the sky." Qing Que yelled loudly, and a "vicious tiger pounced on its prey", fiercely pounced on Zhang Hu.Zhang Hu reached out to pick her up, and the two went to the yard to fight.

Zhang You hurriedly went out to watch the excitement, cheering loudly from the sidelines, "Niu Niu is amazing! Niu Niu, his foot is not stable, attack him!"

The British prince sighed in the room, "Why is she only eight years old? If Niu Niu is twelve or thirteen years old, I am happy for this marriage!"

The expression of the British Duke's wife darkened, "There is a six-year difference between Ahu and Ahu. It is really impossible. Ahu is our eldest son, and he is also the eldest son of the British government. He must get married as soon as possible to make a contribution to the British government."

Apart from age, the others are also inappropriate.Qingque is really likable, but she has such a background, she is always different from ordinary children, and she is not suitable to be the future British princess.

The Duke and Duchess of England are very happy to love Qingque as a relative's child.Married into the door as a daughter-in-law, the British lady-in-law never thought about it.Even if Qing Que has an identity and becomes the eldest daughter of Duke Ning's mansion, she can't change the past.Her father and mother had concluded a marriage full of loopholes. With such parents, people dare not be optimistic about their children.If a wealthy family wants to marry a wife, Qing Que is not a suitable candidate.

In the twelfth lunar month, at the invitation of the imperial concubine of Weiyang Palace, the Duke and Duchess of England brought Zhang You and Qing Que into the palace once.The Duke and Duchess of England brought Zhang You to visit the Queen Mother and Empress, while Qing Que was accompanied by Xin Ci and played in Weiyang Palace.In Weiyang Palace, what Qingque is most interested in is the Eighth Prince, he is only two years old, he is chubby and very attractive.

Accompanied by a group of palace officials, the eighth prince played ball in the side hall.A small round ball took all his attention, he laughed and ran after the ball, having a great time playing.

Qing Que stared at the Eighth Prince with great concentration.

"Do you like Xiaoba?" The fourth prince asked her softly.

"Well, I like it." Qingque nodded, but felt a little pity, "Actually, the Eighth Prince is a little bit older, and he needs to be a little smaller to be cute. For example, a baby who was born just one month ago is really cute."

The fourth prince didn't quite understand, his big eyes were full of confusion, and the long eyelashes flickered on and off. They were very beautiful and charming.Qing Que gave him a displeased look, her eyelashes are longer than mine!Boys are so good-looking, it's a waste, you know that?

"You don't understand?" Qingque deliberately annoyed him, "The baby who was only a month old is only a little big, very cute! Have you ever seen it?"

The fourth prince shook his head.

Qing Que was very proud, "My little brother, it's been over a month, and his face is only this small." He stretched out his small hand and gestured very hard, "It's only this big, do you understand? It's very small and tender, but it's fun. "

The fourth prince was very moved when he heard that, "Concubine Zhang De of Yongshou Palace has a new little princess who seems to be three months old. How about we go and see her?"

"I don't want it." Qingque snorted, "Three months, it's no fun! Only babies over one month old are interesting, like my brother."

The fourth prince is gone.There is really no baby in the palace for more than one month old, and there is nowhere to get it for a while, so I have to stop looking at it.

The fourth prince and Qingque were talking about children here, Concubine Chen asked Xinci, "Sister, take a look at the portraits of these young talents, which one do you like?"

There are a few portraits of young men on the desk case, with wonderful brushstrokes and vivid colors, both in form and spirit.Under the portrait, name, age, place of origin, family background, official position, etc. are indicated.If you plan to choose a son-in-law, this method is somewhat reliable.

Xinci didn't even want to look at it.

Concubine Chen pursed her lips and smiled, "Sister, could it be that you already have someone you like?" Xinci blushed, "Where is it?" Although she was denying it, her expression had already betrayed her.

"The emperor is here—" the eunuch's shrill voice sounded outside the door.Concubine Chen froze, at this hour, shouldn't His Majesty meet the ministers in Qianqing Palace?Why did you come to Weiyang Palace?
"Sister, hide here, don't wander around casually." Concubine Chen confessed to her kindness, and hurried out.

Xinci smiled, and casually picked up the portrait of the man on the table to look at.Naturally, she is not interested in these men at all, she is just looking at them casually.Turning to the last portrait, Xinci was stunned.This... This person's appearance and figure are quite similar to his senior brother.At first glance, I thought it was a portrait of my brother.

Xinci unconsciously looked under the portrait, "Lin Yuchi, 20 years old, ancestral home in Hangzhou, the second son of Uncle Jingcheng, a hundred households of the Jinwu Guard..."

Xin Ci was so fascinated that she didn't notice that a figure in a black dragon robe entered the room, looking at her back tenderly.

A real beauty is exquisite in every way, and beautiful in every way.Xinci is a real beauty, just looking at her back, she is already graceful, like a fairy.

Concubine Chen walked over lightly, with a bright smile on her face.However, if you look closely, there is a touch of anxiety and worry that cannot be concealed between her brows.

"Your Majesty, you made it easy for me to find you." Concubine Chen suppressed the anger in her heart when she saw the emperor here, and walked to the emperor with a smile, "Ah Yuan is clamoring to see you, and I don't know what is important about this child. "

The emperor smiled slightly, said nothing, and walked out side by side with Concubine Chen.Concubine Chen was worried all the way, lest he would show mercy, but he never spoke.

Seeing A Yuan, the emperor was gentle and loving, just like in the past.

Concubine Chen was worried all the time, but luckily the emperor was just tired of dealing with government affairs and went out to relax, and returned to Qianqing Palace not long after.Sending off the emperor, Concubine Chen let out a long sigh.

"Sister, do you have someone in mind, right? Get married immediately." Concubine Chen confessed her kindness with a pale face.Xinci saw that her expression was wrong, and she was not acting like a child, so she solemnly agreed.

It was not easy for the two sisters to meet each other, so they cherished this rare opportunity very much and looked forward to being reunited for a while longer.But ever since the emperor's sudden visit, Concubine Chen has had ominous thoughts, wishing that the Duke and Duchess of England would come back soon and bring Xinci out of the palace safely.

"I should let Xue Hu bring the message out, and I shouldn't let my sister take the risk to come here!" Concubine Chen regretted endlessly.Knowing that my younger sister was born with a natural beauty, and knowing that my younger sister is still unmarried, why let her enter the palace?Is it not enough to see it once?Alas, I'm too greedy, I just want to see my sister again and again, and I'm not careful enough to consider the facts.

I hope His Majesty didn't see it!Concubine Chen prayed in her heart.

It was so easy for the Duke and Duchess of England to return to Weiyang Palace, Concubine Chen didn't stay much, and sent them away almost quickly.The British Duchess felt strange in her heart, but her expression remained calm, and she left with a smile.

The fourth prince sent them to the gate of Weiyang Palace very politely, and bid farewell to each other.Qing Que got along very well with this handsome boy, smiled and waved to him, promised to play in Weiyang Palace again with a good temper.

How sensitive the British princess is, the fourth prince's gentle and shy eyes when he looked at Qing Que naturally did not escape her eyes.Perhaps, a quiet and respectful prince like the fourth prince will indeed be moved by a lively girl.

The fourth prince stood at the gate of the palace and watched them go away.It was cold winter, and there was light snow in the sky. He was wearing a soft and warm sable cloak and standing in the slightly whitish open space. His face was like creamy fat, his eyes were like spots of lacquer, elegant and beautiful, like a fairy.

He didn't stand long at the gate of Weiyang Palace before he was summoned to Qianqing Palace by the emperor's servants.The fourth prince went to Qianqing Palace, greeted the emperor, and stood with his hands down.

The emperor waved to him and asked gently, "What's the matter? Are you reluctant to let her go? If A Yuan wants to keep her, it will be very easy."

A Yuan shook her head seriously, "No. There are strict rules in the palace. She likes to be free and doesn't like to be restrained."

The emperor smiled, "Silly Ah Yuan, she is too kind-hearted. She has been afraid of restraint all her life. Could it be that you let her go far away? Silly child."

A Yuan asked with some twists, "Father, how long can I have a palace?" The emperor smiled and said, "It's still early, it's still early. A Yuan, you are only ten years old this year, and there are at least six more years left."
