Chapter 102:

Looking at the other party's clothes, Qin Xin knew that this person is either noble or noble.
"Thank you, son." Qin Xin smiled slightly and was generous, without a slight twist.
The young man in blue released Qin Xin's arm, took a half step back, and asked gently, "Is this lady not hurt? It's because I was too reckless." His voice was as sweet as a jade collision.
"The son is so polite, I won't get in the way." Qin Xin smiled and secretly praised: What a handsome son!
For a moment, Qin Xin thought of the gentle and elegant Gu Jing in the past. The former Gu Jing was also such a graceful son, but now...
Thinking of the moody Gu Jing now, Qin Xin's eyes were filled with haze, and his heart became heavy.
The blue-clothed man took out a moon-white kerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Qin Xin, before saying, "Madam, your hand..."
Qin Xin followed the opponent's gaze, only to find that his right hand had just grabbed a handful of the rockery, stained with a little dust and moss.
"Thank you, son." Qin Xin took the veil and wiped it gently on her fingertips. The veil was still touching the other party's body temperature. It was warm. There was an indescribable ripple in her heart. Flirting.
She was about to return the veil to the other party, at this moment, Shuxiang hurriedly came over and shouted: "Girl..."
Qin Xin couldn't take care of the blue-clothed young man anymore. He turned to look towards the Great Hall of the Great Heroes, and saw Qin Jiu coming out of it with Mrs. Qin.
She hurriedly said "disaccompany" to the young man in blue, and quickly walked towards Mrs. Qin and the others, shouting excitedly: "Grandma!"
However, this time, Mrs. Qin Tai didn't even look at Qin Xin, and walked past her without squinting. Qin Xin wanted to get closer, so she was stopped by the wife of the Zhongyi Marquis, and could only watch Mrs. Qin Tai and Qin Jiu get into the carriage.
Soon, the Qin family's carriage drove away.
Only Qin Xin stood alone in the soothing autumn wind, soft and pitiful, tears could not shed on that delicate face, and the slender figure looked like a delicate flower, weak and easy to break, I felt pity.
"Are you okay?" At some point, the young man in blue walked to Qin Xin's side, his voice softer, "Don't be too sad, hurt your soul."
"Let the son laugh..." Qin Xin whispered, tightly grasping the moon white veil in her hand, her figure tensed, "My grandmother thinks I didn't get married well, so I was taken over by the third sister... But this marriage event, the orders of parents..."
Halfway through the conversation, Qin Xin bit his lip again and kept silent, seeming to feel that he was in a gaffe.
She blessed the boy in blue, and said straightforwardly: "The boy is gone."
With the support of scholars, she got on the carriage, and the carriage hurriedly left Jingxin Temple.
The blue-clothed man neatly opened the folding fan in his hand, slapped it slowly, and exclaimed: "Since ancient times, beauties have been either frustrated or ill-fated."
A young man in Tsing Yi quietly walked to the side of the young man in blue, and said in a low voice: "San Ye, that's the second girl from the second room of the Zhongyi Hou Mansion. The emperor gave her a marriage with the second prince, and later..."
Xiao Si said Qin Xin's identity.
The blue-clothed man called "San Ye" raised his eyebrows, and the folding fan in his hand stopped, and Jun Yi's face showed a bit of interest.
"It's interesting." San Ye sighed with a smile, and the folding fan moved again.
The carriage in front had already turned right on the fork of a few tens of feet away. Naturally, Qin Xin could not hear the other party's words, and returned to the Second Prince's Mansion with great concern.
When she stepped out of the carriage, she saw a little waiter a few steps away. The little waiter didn't even salute Qin Xin, and said with a shrill voice, "Aunt Qin, please come here."
Qin Xin's complexion changed slightly, and he hid the Yuebai Pazi in his hand in his sleeve pocket, responded, and followed the little servant to the outer study.
"How are things going?"
There was neither greetings nor concerns, Gu Jing's first words were questioning.
Qin Xin: "..."
Qin Xin was both worried and uneasy in her heart, and even more cool. He could only rely on Qin Jiu for all the reasons, and said: "His Royal Highness, because Qin Jiu is here, I can't tell my grandmother..."
"Snapped!"
Gu Jing grabbed a cup and threw it towards Qin Xin fiercely, rubbed it on the side of her sleeve, and fell heavily behind her, splashing tea and broken porcelain.
Qin Xin shrank in fright, did not dare to hide, and listened to Gu Jing coldly scolding in the next moment:
"It's useless!"
Qin Xin looked at the familiar but unfamiliar man in front of him, feeling cold.
Gu Jing has changed. He is no longer the noble and elegant second prince, nor the man she once admired.
Qin Xin couldn't help but touched the sleeve pocket on the left, remembering the gentle and noble blue-clothed man he met in front of the temple, and his eyes dropped slightly.
The more Gu Jing thought about it, the more irritable and upset she became.
Things have gone wrong with him recently.
This trip to Jinzhou to suppress bandits cost a total of 500,000 taels. In addition, as soon as Taipu Temple's deficiencies occurred, various accounts were involved. It can be said that the whole body was affected. Gu Jing is now afraid. This matter was implicated on himself, so even if he made merits in the suppression of the bandits this time, he did not dare to ask the emperor.
But Qin Xin couldn't help even a little bit of help. She used to have those predictive dreams. In the past, there was a loyal mansion behind her, but now Qin Xin will only hinder him!
Simply useless!
Gu Jing was extremely disappointed with Qin Xin and couldn't help but anger and said: "You can't handle this little thing!"
"Didn't your grandmother always love you the most? Wouldn't you beg her affectionately?"
As far as he knows, Mrs. Qin Tai has always been confused and soft-hearted. If Qin Xin can persuade her to embezzle the long house and fill in the hole, her plight will naturally be solved.
Don’t you? ! Qin Xin's hands were tightly clenched into fists in his sleeves, and his nails stuck in the tender palms, thinking of the humiliation Qin Jiu and Mrs. Qin Tai had put on her.
Suddenly, a burst of anger jumped.
She knelt, and begged, and put her face in front of Qin Jiu and Mrs. Qin Tai, letting them humiliate them. She did her best for him, but what did he give her back? !
Impulsively, Qin Xin couldn't help but replied: "Gu Jing, do you think you are still the former second prince with a breezy moon?! You look down on me, but what can you do? You still have to rely on me to cover up for you ..."
These words pointed to Gu Jing's pain point, reminding him of the threat Qin Xin made to him at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion that day.
Gu Jing only felt that the blood all over her body rushed to her head, and she raised her hand and fanned it out without thinking.
"Snapped!"
The crisp slaps echoed in the air, and the little servant in the corner shrank his neck and bowed his head as if he hadn't seen or heard.
"Get out!" Gu Jing pointed out the house angrily, "Get out of here!"
Gu Jing's heart beats a drum, and she feels that she was blindfolded in the past, and she would fall in love with such a woman.
"..." Qin Xin didn't say a word, clutching his face flushed and swollen by Gu Jing, turned around and left the study room.
This is not the first time Gu Jing has beaten her. Even if she had the last glimpse of blessing him before, she disappeared at this moment.
Such Gu Jing is not worthy of her nostalgia, not worthy of her sincerity!
Qin Xin, who came out of the foreign study room, met Shuxiang's worried eyes, and Shuxiang shouted with concern: "Girl!"
Qin Xin ran past the scholar, and ran in the direction outside the house, without turning his head, let alone a trace of nostalgia.
Qin Xin ran faster and faster, until he was out of breath before stopping.
The pedestrians around also saw the five-fingerprints on her face and pointed at her one by one, but Qin Xin didn't realize it.
She stood there blankly, wondering where she could go.
I don't know how long it took, she moved and walked forward. She walked three or four streets in a familiar way, and finally came to Zhongyihou's Mansion.
Qin Xin stood at the door for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage and knocked on the corner door.
The concierge looked at Qin Xin embarrassedly, "Second-aunt grandma, Madam Madam will not see you."
Qin Xin lowered his head and swallowed his breath: "Go tell your grandmother and say...I have nowhere to go."
As a person for two generations, except for Lingnan, this is the place she is most familiar with. Now she has nowhere to go and can only return here.
She deliberately revealed the blood-red five-fingerprints on her face, and wanted the concierge to tell Mrs. Qin Tai, to make Mrs. Qin feel soft.
The concierge was helpless, so he could only let people go to Ronghetang to report again. Qin Xin waited outside the door and waited until he refused again: "Second-aunt grandma, Mrs. Tai asked you to go back wherever you come from.
"Snapped!"
Qin Xin only felt that she was slapped fiercely on the face again, and the sympathetic eyes of the concierge made her ashamed and hated.
She can only go.
She was slender and thin, and the rustling autumn wind blew the fallen leaves on the ground as if it could blow her away.
She wandered on the road alone, lost her soul, unknowingly, the sky darkened, the sky was dark, and a faint meniscus was faintly visible.
Seeing that the curfew was approaching, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, and the houses and shops on the street lit up lanterns.
Qin Xin felt like she had been abandoned by the whole world, alone, her heart was sour, and a thin mist appeared in her eyes.
Suddenly, a black flat-top carriage stopped beside her.
Qin Xin subconsciously turned his head and looked, and saw that the curtain of the carriage was raised by a fan handle, and the window showed a handsome and elegant face. It was the man in blue that she had met in Jingxin Temple today.
Qin Xin: "..."
Qin Xin opened her eyes slightly and looked at each other in surprise. She did not expect that she would meet him twice in just one day.
Bang bang bang!
Qin Xin's heartbeat speeded up, and his heart that was originally stagnant water suddenly poured into a living spring, and his misty eyes shimmered with dim light.
"Madam, it's a coincidence." The third master smiled slightly, showing a more gentle style, which made people feel good when looking at them, "Can I give Madam a ride?"
Qin Xin looked at him blankly, wondering if he heard it.
As if afraid of Qin Xin, the third master said again: "Madam, don't get me wrong, I am not a bad person, my last name is Gu and my name is Xi."
Gu Xi? ! Qin Xin opened his eyes slightly. Isn't he the third son of Wang Yu? !
Gu Xi got out of the carriage and gracefully reached out to Qin Xin in petition.
As if being bewitched by some kind, Shao Qing, Qin Xin stretched out his hand to him, and put his hand on the carriage.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Xi also got into the carriage, the curtain fell, and the driver who drove the carriage threw his whip again.
The carriage galloped forward on the empty street and disappeared into the night.
The temperature in October night is comfortable, and the cool and comfortable night breeze blows into the house, which makes people feel refreshed.
However, Qin Jiu had no intention of appreciating the tranquil night, and was struggling with needlework.
As a bride to be married, Qin Jiu is happy, and she doesn't have to worry about the dowry beside her, because Gu Zezhi is the princess, and her wedding gown is also regulated and prepared by the clan family. Originally, she shouldn't have to do anything, but Queen Wei said, nothing else, let her embroider her mother-in-law's shoes when she embroidered her.
Qin Jiao's female red is terrible. She has embroidered forehead, hair band and veil at most, all of which are the simplest embroidery. She has been fighting for this pair of shoes for several days, and she can barely accept the soles. Embroidering the uppers really makes her eyes and hands numb.
Qin Jiao’s embroidering skills are not good enough, and she is far from being a female celebrity from elementary school in ancient times. Therefore, she uses cross stitch, appliqué embroidery and bead embroidery to complement each other.
The pattern was painted by Du Ruo, and the master was also Du Ruo. Even the embroidery thread was picked by Du Ruo and embroidered to the position designated by Du Ruo. Qin Jiu felt that he was a tool man, and he was dizzy by the embroidery.
Qin Jiu felt that these young ladies in ancient times were too difficult. Not only did they have to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and calligraphy, but also to learn female red. Not to mention making clothes, shoes and hats, there are so many stitches for light embroidery, just a red embroidery thread. There are more than a dozen kinds, forcing Qin Jiao to almost suspect that he is color blind.
After more than half a month of work, she finally finished embroidering the three red plums on one of the uppers. She felt that her female red was advancing by leaps and bounds. The time had come to the end of October and the weather was getting colder and colder.
On the first day of November, news came from the palace saying that Princess Fang was seriously ill and wanted to send her grandchildren to the Jiuya Garden in the suburbs of Beijing.
Originally, Qin Zening said this incident casually after returning, because Fang Taifei's illness was so troubled that the entire Jiuya Garden was disturbed.
Qin Zening was quite disdainful of Fang Taifei, saying that she only dared to make such a fuss because of the emperor's good temper.
The emperor accepted the invitation of Princess Fang and sent several imperial physicians to Jiuya Garden. As a result, brother and sister Gu Xi lived with Princess Fang.
On the winter solstice day, when Qin Jiu went to the palace, he heard the Queen Mother Liu complaining unhappily:
"This has been delicious and delicious for more than ten years, are they afraid that the Ai family and the emperor will treat her badly?!"
"Pretend to be so filial! Why didn't you come to the capital a few years ago to honor the ‘that one’ of Jiuyayuan!"
Although Empress Dowager Liu did not name her or her surname from beginning to end, all the people present knew who she was talking about just the three words "Jiu Ya Yuan". Probably only Princess Fang of Jiu Ya Yuan could let Liu The queen mother is so forgetful.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "the winter solstice is as big as the year". Today is the winter solstice. Empress Dowager Liu held a small banquet at Shouning Palace. Many people came, including Queen Wei, several high-ranking concubines, princes and princesses, and The ladies are here, and the hall is very lively, talking and laughing.
Empress Dowager Liu complained casually, and the concubine present at the scene couldn't wait to coerce her voice: "The empress dowager said yes. They, this is the heart of a gentleman!"
"There are a lot of empress dowagers, how can they be compared to some people!"
"..."
This room is full of golden branches and leaves, "Little Transparent" Qin Jiu basically shrank in the corner, peeling oranges to eat.
The tribute oranges are delicious, sweet and sour, plump and delicious.
Qin Jiao was eating and listening to gossip. She had been a female celebrity at home for a month. Now as long as she can go out, she feels that everything is good. Even the palace that used to be boring has become much more interesting.
Especially Empress Dowager Liu still keeps a few cats here. These cats are taken care of by palace officials on weekdays, so they are not afraid of people. They stay wherever they want. Xiaofang next to Qin Jiu lay down on one. Long-haired lion cat with mandarin duck eyes.
Every time Qin Jiu went to get the fruit from the fruit bowl behind him, it would sneak attack with the cat's paws and pat it on the back of her hand. Qin Jiu ate a few and was patted by it.
After Qin Jiu had enough, he harassed him, touched his head for a while, patted his paw, and raised his chin. He excited the originally lazy lion cat, and his eyes widened. Round, a fluffy cat's tail happily flicked back and forth behind him.
Qin Jiu was having fun, and suddenly heard a female voice next to him respectfully said: "The empress dowager, the second prince and the Qin family are here."
There was a subtle change in the atmosphere in the hall.
Everyone knows that the Empress Dowager Liu has been less affectionate to the second prince than before.
Empress Dowager Liu twisted her eyebrows in disgust. She was disappointed in Gu Jing again. After all, Gu Jing was a grandson, but that was not true for Qin Xin. Concubines are brought into the palace.
Queen Mother Liu didn't show any face to Gu Jing, and said directly: "Let them go back."
Concubine Liu's complexion changed, and she hurriedly said, "Mother, the second prince is also a filial piety. Today is the winter solstice, I am here to greet you.
Thinking that today is the winter solstice, Empress Dowager Liu didn't want to be upset, so she reluctantly nodded.
Queen Wei just watched indifferently, drinking tea to herself.
After a brief silence, the others in the hall started talking and laughing.
Soon, the court lady who came to the court went out and led Gu Jing and Qin Xin in.
Qin Xin was one step behind Gu Jing. Looking at her low eyebrows, she saw Qin Jiu and Qin Jiu also saw her.
Qin Xin's eyes flickered. After the last meeting in Jingxin Temple, they hadn't seen each other for more than a month. Qin Jiu looked even more beautiful, with bright eyes and white teeth, his complexion faintly, and cherry blossoms slightly raised. The lip curvature is extremely beautiful, plump and moist, like the ripe cherry, pure and delicate.
Obviously it is the winter solstice, but she seems to be standing in the splendid spring, and she...
Qin Xin's eyes dimmed and followed Gu Jing as if nothing had happened.
"See the emperor grandmother."
"See the Empress Dowager."
Gu Jing and Qin Xin both greeted Queen Mother Liu.
Queen Mother Liu was neither cold nor hot, and she didn't even look at them.
She took a sip of hot tea slowly, and then said, "No gift."
Gu Jing also knew that Queen Mother Liu was annoying Qin Xin, but he couldn't do without Qin Xin. Everyone knew that he loved Qin Xin.
Immediately a palace person brought a chair for Gu Jing, and Gu Jing sat down with her robe, and Qin Xin was no more than a concubine, just like her servant. Naturally, there was no place for her to sit here, and she could only stand with her head down. Gu Jing's rear right.
Concubine Liu Gui frowned slightly, feeling unhappy, thinking that Gu Jing was really the bigger and less obedient, how could she be so fascinated by the fox Meizi Qin Xin!
She had only one son, and she pointed out that this son could make her mother more expensive in the future. She could only help her son: "Mother, the concubine looked at the second prince who had lost weight since he came back from Jinzhou. The winter solstice is a festival of'safe and calm'. Second prince, you have to eat a few more dumplings at your grandmother's place to cure illness and cold, and be healthy and healthy in the coming year."
Empress Dowager Liu looked at Gu Jing and felt that he was thinner, thinking that he was stabbed by Yelv Luan this year and went to Minzhou to suppress bandits. It was also hard work, with a soft heart, and said: "Eat is a blessing. You should eat more dumplings."
Seeing this, Concubine Liu Gui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes fell on Qin Xin's lower abdomen, and asked: "Second prince, the Qin family has been in the mansion for some time, is there any good news?"
Concubine Liu Gui is really anxious. The age of the third prince and the second prince are not much different, only a few months later. The third prince was pointed out by the emperor as a side concubine last month. If the third prince is the eldest grandson of the emperor, the emperor may not be even worse. Will look at the second prince more.
I'm also to blame for the Qin family's fox-like appearance. It's been half a year, and there is no good news yet, so my stomach is so disappointed! ! Concubine Liu Gui had already wondered whether to send another concubine to the second prince since Fang Han's filial piety period had not passed.
Gu Jing's face suddenly became ugly, and she felt that other people around her looked strangely at him, or were suspicious, or scrutinized, or laughing, or whispering to each other.
Gu Jing said perfunctorily: "Mother concubine, don't worry, the Qin family has just passed the door."
In the ears of the Queen Mother Liu and Concubine Liu, I only felt that Gu Jing was helping Qin Xin to speak. The Queen Mother Liu was even more disappointed, while Concubine Liu Gui was angry and determined to pick another good maid to send to the Second Prince's Palace as soon as possible.
Gu Jing was almost sitting on pins and needles, annoyed and hated, wishing to throw his sleeves away immediately, but this is Shouning Palace, he can only bear it, can only suppress...
Qin Xin, who was on his right, felt the tightness of his left wrist, followed by a piercing pain.
Even if he didn’t look at it, Qin Xin knew that Gu Jing was pinching herself again. He gritted his teeth and endured it. She couldn’t help but looked at Qin Jiu who was diagonally opposite. Qin Xin was not looking at Qin Xin, she was teasing happily. The lion cat.
In less than a cup of tea, Qin Jiao successfully coaxed the lion cat to her lap. She was scratching the cat’s chin with her fingertips, and inexplicably thought of her going to Gu Ze. The touch on the chin, the eyes are overflowing with smiles.
She was in the spring, but before her eyes, it was pitch black.
Qin Xin only felt that something suddenly jumped up in her heart, flooding the top of her head, a flower was in front of her, and she fell backward...
Other people around also saw it, and some of the ladies whispered and forgot.
Gu Jing was also taken aback. After a daze, he quickly got up, made a nervous look, knelt down and hugged Qin Xin, who had fallen unconscious, in his arms, and shouted, "Xin'er. Xin'er, how are you? "
Empress Dowager Liu frowned and looked at Qin Xin with her eyes closed, regretting letting her in, and whispered: "Unlucky."
The day when the yin and yang alternate in the winter solstice is a blessing bestowed by God. Qin Xin insists on staying in his Shouning Palace today to make Empress Dowager Liu feel very happy.
Madam Feng knew the empress dowager Liu’s intentions, and she whispered: "Queen dowager, maidservant, send someone to get a doctor?"
You can't just throw people out, it's even more ugly and even worse.
Queen Mother Liu nodded slightly.
Madam Feng sent someone to the imperial physician, and at the same time ordered the maid to help Qin Xin next door.
Gu Jing hesitated whether to follow, Liu Guifei gave him a wink, and then he sat down.
The ladies also noticed, exchanged their eyes secretly, and said in their hearts: The second prince is still affectionate towards Qin Xin, as always. From now on, no matter who becomes the second prince and concubine, isn't this waiting for her to stay alone? !
Empress Wei was smiling from beginning to end, and didn't bother to care about what tricks Qin Xin and Gu Jing were playing. This is the Shouning Palace, where all her own queen mother is in charge, and it is not her turn to be nosy.
Empress Wei smiled and said to Empress Liu: "Mother, I heard Mrs. Xiao say a few days ago that in Jiangnan, there is a custom of eating red bean porridge during the winter solstice to drive away epidemic ghosts. Red bean porridge is also called winter solstice porridge. Fang also cooked some winter solstice porridge. Can the queen try it?"
Empress Dowager Liu is getting older, likes to eat sweets, and also likes this custom of seeking good luck and avoiding evil, and smiled.
So everyone at the scene had a share, and all of them ate the sweet winter solstice porridge. Before the winter solstice porridge was finished, the imperial doctor came. After seeing Qin Xin in the next room, he came to see Queen Mother Liu.
Qin Xin is okay. Empress Dowager Liu didn't care. She didn't want to. The doctor said: "Congratulations to the queen mother, Qin is happy, it's been about a month."
