Rebirth of Yijia

Chapter 191

"Shopkeeper, it's snowing, it looks like there are no customers coming, let's close the door!" Xiaoer rubbed his hands and said to me who was sitting at the door of the small restaurant.

This is the fourth snow that I have seen here.

I stretched out my hand, and the fluttering snowflakes fell on my palm, and the snowflakes melted in an instant, leaving only cold water marks on my palm.It was so cold, it made me feel as if someone had sprinkled a handful of fine needles in my heart, which made me suffocate in pain.

"Okay, close the door!" I clapped my hands and stood up.

The small restaurant is a veritable small restaurant.

It covers an area of ​​only about [-] square meters. The counter is on the right side of the entrance, the kitchen is connected to the back, and there are only six tables in the hall on the left.At this moment, the tables and chairs were neatly arranged, and there was no one eating. I sighed and walked over.

When Xiao Er heard that I was going to close the door, she was very happy and smiled.

"Shopkeeper, the Chinese New Year will be tomorrow, do you want to come to my house for dinner?" Xiaoer warmly invited: "My mother said, you have to bother to cook for the New Year alone, why not come to our house, people More fun."

"No need, I'm going out tomorrow." I said with a smile, rejecting Xiaoer's invitation.

I have been here to open this small restaurant for half a year, and Xiao Er's mother, Aunt Zhang, treats me as affectionately as my own daughter.In the past six months, whenever there is a festival, Mrs. Zhang will definitely take me to their house for dinner.But tomorrow is Chinese New Year, a day for family reunion, I don't want to disturb them.

Xiao Er was surprised, but then smiled happily, "I thought you had no family or relatives, are you going to a relative's house for the New Year? That's really great, I'll go back and tell my mother later go!"

Are you a relative?
There are many relatives, but I don't know many.

As for family, well, there is no family in this world.

Chinese New Year is approaching, and there are few things going on in the store, so I simply asked Xiao Er to go back early.He tidied up the tables and chairs by himself, washed the dishes long ago, drained the water and put them in the small kitchen at the back, and then walked over to close the door.

The door had just closed, and before I could turn around, there was a knock on the door.

Could it be that Xiao Er forgot something?

He is always so sloppy, I smiled helplessly and opened the door.

Outside the door was not a simple and honest Xiaoer, but a man wearing a big fur coat. The snow outside fell on his head, face, and the collar of the fur coat, making him look extremely embarrassed.I was very surprised, "Kang Qikun? Why are you here?"

Kang Qikun smiled, and pointed to the inside, "In such a cold day, the snow is getting bigger and bigger, don't you invite me in to sit?"

I hesitated for a moment, but finally got out of the way.I have been "dead" for half a year, and even the most honorable man in the world doesn't know where I am, how could Kang Qikun know?But to know the answer, I had to let him in.

He was not polite, he pulled the bench and sat down.

I poured him a cup of still hot water, put it on the table, and asked him, "How do you know I'm here? How do you know I'm still alive? How could you come to me?"

"Cousin." Kang Qikun said: "You also allow me to take a breath, asking so many questions at once, how should I answer?"

I was full of doubts in my heart, and I pursed my mouth and didn't speak.But there was a faint hope in my heart, could it be him?He was worried about me, so he asked Kang Qikun to come to me to see if I was doing well?He always treats me differently from others, right?
I was looking forward to Kang Qikun's answer in my heart, but I felt sad and uncomfortable for no reason.

"It's the empress, she doesn't trust you, that's why she asked me to come to you." Kang Qikun said, looking at my forehead.

I touched it subconsciously, and I was relieved when I touched the cloth strip that was still tied there.Immediately, the tone came up again, it wasn't him, it was Le Chengmin, it turned out to be her.I touched my forehead again, but didn't speak. I couldn't say anything to Le Chengmin.

Kang Qikun continued: "The empress didn't say anything to me, she just said that you opened a small restaurant here, and told me to come and see you often if it's convenient. A woman opens a restaurant here, and there are many people from all walks of life. She also told me to watch it for you, lest someone come to provoke you. And..." He smiled and continued: "Although I don't know what's going on between you, the emperor and the queen, but I can tell that the Empress really cares about you and hopes that you will live well. Cousin, you are still young, if you meet the right person, you should marry early. "

He is a very smart person. He has already noticed that something is wrong, but he can still restrain his curiosity and ask nothing.

But I felt resentment and hatred in my heart.

Touching my forehead, I asked unwillingly: "How are the emperor and queen doing?"

I regretted it when I asked.

It's really stupid to ask this question, in Daqi, no one knows how well the current emperor treats the queen.When I was still in the palace earlier, he did not hesitate to design ministers for her, so that those ministers who Baba sent their daughters to the palace lost their money, and in the end their daughters all married people they didn't like.As for after I "died", I also heard that the empress dowager saw that his knees were empty and took his natal family's daughter into the palace, but he was lucky, for her, even his own mother was disobedient.

Thinking of that unruly and willful empress who doesn't understand anything, I want to laugh, but I also want to cry.People really have different fates. I am smarter than her, more polite than her, more considerate than her, more sensible than her, and even, I may love him more than her... Unfortunately, the truth is that he only has eyes for her , from beginning to end, without me.

I touched my forehead again, and there was a long ugly scar covered by a cloth strip on the forehead.This scar was caused by Le Chengmin, but it was also the only trace I left behind him in the palace.So I don't complain, and I don't hate, even if this scar will never fade away.

However, Kang Qikun only said one sentence, and all my pretended calmness and pretense disappeared.

He said, "The queen is pregnant."

My heart was suffocated, and my eyes were sour and wet.However, I could only raise my head, touch the scar on my forehead, and sigh with a smile, "That's great." The reason why I entered the palace was because he wanted to set up a target for Le Chengmin in advance, and I stood in front, blocking it, The person he misses so much, so that he can live a comfortable life comfortably in the future.He accepted me, in order to stop everyone's mouths about his childlessness, but in the end, the one who conceived his child was still the one he missed.

What am I, I'm not even a double, I'm just a shield.When the arrow is gone, I, the shield, should be laid off.

"Yes, that's great." Kang Qikun also sighed and said softly: "He Lian, come to my house for the Chinese New Year tomorrow!"

I finally couldn't help but shed tears, and there was resentment in the eyes of Kang Qikun, "Is it because of her? It's because the queen empress feels guilty, so you want to take me back to have a lively reunion just to please her." Years? Kang Qikun, why are you? Who are you to me? If you call me cousin, will I really be your cousin? If I go back with you, you won’t be afraid that your aunt will find out my true identity ? Are you not afraid that your wife will misunderstand what kind of existence I am to you? Are you not afraid that because of me, your house will be disturbed and your life will not go smoothly? "

Whether it's for love or power, is everything you do because of her?
Kang Qikun was slightly stunned, and then a wry smile reminiscing about the past appeared on his face, "He Lian, I don't deny that there is a reason for the queen's reason for my visit today. But more, I still remember that year in the Kang family. You didn’t want to be entangled with me even after gaining a reputation. At that time, I was ashamed and repented for you, but when I thought about it later, I respected and admired you.”

"You are not willing to be used as a marriage tool by your uncle and aunt, and you are not willing to be manipulated and used. You don't know that the reason why I dared to fight against my parents all these years was that I didn't even care about my reputation in order to get rid of the entanglement with me. How courageous you have given me!"

"He Lian, although you and I are not cousins, I have always treated you as my sister. I don't know how you are doing in the palace these years, but I do know that you are a beautiful lady, but you are not as good as you. Your elder sister is favored, and after all, she grew up with gold and jade. As your elder brother, I can't just watch you live such a life outside..."

Kang Qikun said a lot, but I only heard those eight words: shame and repentance, respect and admiration!
My tears flowed more and more, these eight words, these eight words, he also said!
When he knew what I did in the Kang family, and when he knew the reason why I did that, he also said these eight words.However, "respect and admiration" refers to what I did in the Kang family.Ashamed and repentant, it means that he clearly knew that I fell in love with him, but he couldn't respond to me.He clearly knew that I was not wrong, it was Le Chengmin who was impulsive and lost his mind, but he still drove me out of the palace three years in advance because of Le Chengmin.

Back then, Mrs. He and Mrs. He were demoted to Lingnan, and He Wan, who had never been married, followed along.But in less than a month, she fled back to the capital because she was not used to living there.When the He family was prominent, there were relatives and old friends everywhere.But the He family was defeated, and He Wan returned to the capital, except for my so-called younger sister, she had nowhere to go, no one to go to.So she begged someone and brought her to the palace to meet me. The proud and arrogant Miss He appeared in front of me in such a mess. I was not her real sister, but after all I took her sister's place. body, I had no choice but to take her in temporarily.

Unexpectedly, after taking in, something went wrong.

He Wan is very smart, the secrets that the maids and eunuchs in my palace did not discover, she discovered within a few days after arriving in the palace.She knows that since I married Qi Zhan, I haven't consummated the house with him. She doesn't think about the reasons and secrets. What she thinks is that if she can have something with Qi Zhan.She took the medicine, but she didn't dare to put it on Qi Zhan and herself, so she set her mind on me.

When Qi Zhan came to my palace, he drank a whole cup of tea, but I only took a sip.

There was an aphrodisiac in the tea that He Wan specially found, he lost his mind, and shouted Cheng Min at me repeatedly.As for me, although I only took a sip, I was in a worse condition than him.I was fascinated by ghosts, I was completely blind, I thought that I like him so much, if he wants me, I will give it to him.What third party, what deal, what should not be, what is impossible, I don't care about them all!I'm going to be selfish once, I'm going to be unreasonable once, since I'm already his legitimate concubine, his wife, why can't I get him?

I was crazy, when he hugged me, not only did I not push him away, but I hugged him back...

"He Lian." Kang Qikun's voice sounded.

I smiled slightly, looked at him and said, "Thank you, but there's no need, I'm doing well, and I don't need to go back with you."

Kang Qikun wanted to persuade me again, but I stood up first, "Kang Qikun, you should go. The road is slippery at night, and the way back is difficult. If you return too late, your wife and son will miss you."

Kang Qikun sighed, and stood up, "If you have any problems, you can come to Kang's house and tell me the name of your restaurant."

I hummed and sent him out personally.

As soon as he left, I couldn't hold on any longer and my legs went limp and I fell to the ground.Embarrassment flooded over like a tide, just like that day in the palace, before the door was kicked open by Le Chengmin, Qi Zhan grabbed me and let me out.So when Le Chengmin opened the door and brought the maids and eunuchs into the room one after another, I instinctively pretended that I was also poisoned like Qi Zhan, so I couldn't control myself.Le Chengmin, who was furious, didn't notice this, she only thought that I had seduced Qi Zhan shamelessly, abandoned our agreement and left it alone, regretting that I seduced Qi Zhan in the first place.

In a fit of rage, she slapped me across the face, and then swung the big red whip.

I subconsciously covered my face, but there was a burning pain in my forehead.

Later, when she found out that He Wan did all of this, she came to my palace several times to apologize to me.The majestic queen, the once proud Princess Cheng Min, looked at the scar on my forehead and shed tears like a child, apologizing aloud.Why are you so stupid, stupid, looking at their husband and wife's guilt towards me, I have no sense of revenge in my heart.

That's right, a person like me is not only ugly in appearance, but also ugly in heart, how can I be worthy of Qi Zhan.

Saying yes is an agreement.But I fell in love with him first, and then I was jealous of Le Chengmin, I deliberately made her sad, obviously I was greedy, and followed He Wan's poisonous plan by mistake.But in the end, I became the one who was owed.

With my appearance, let alone a whip, a few more whips will not affect anything.But she remembered that I had been away from the palace for more than half a year, but she was still letting people see if I was doing well, asking Kang Qikun to take care of me.Why should I?I am such a shameless person, why should I?
I suddenly gained strength, got up, stumbled and ran to the backyard, found out the paper and pen, and wrote a letter on the desk.
