Because there are lanterns hanging high in the corridors and pavilions of Ningguo Mansion, and the bright moon is bright and bright today.
Qin Keqing did not carry a lantern, but used the lantern hanging on the corridor to illuminate. While talking, he came to the southwest attic that Sister You mentioned, climbed up the steps, stood in front of the window, facing the west. Looking towards the study room.
As Sanjie You said, from a high position, one can see a window opening to the flower wall through a leafy sycamore tree.
The window opens towards the flower wall. Thorns and vines are planted in the wall. Farther away is the cornice gatehouse, so ordinary people will not peek inside. At this moment, half of the carved glass lets light through, and behind the front hall is In the cabin, the lights are brightly lit and the figures are looking forward to it.
Qin Keqing's beautiful eyebrows were condensed, and she looked around. Her watery gaze first swept to the front hall, where she saw a figure sitting by the window, holding a round embroidery hoop in his hand, and stretching his arms. This is sewing.
"Looking at the shadow, it looks like Sister Xue's maid Ying'er." Qin Keqing's beautiful eyes flashed and she guessed who she was, without stopping, her gaze glanced to the left.
"Well, this is the inner room, without the curtain?"
Qin Keqing looked at the inner compartment, as if she felt powerless, so she put her feet up and looked at it. At this moment, she couldn't help but clenched the handkerchief tightly, and felt her heart rising to her throat.
Although the lights were brightly lit at this moment, no human figures were seen reflected in the windows.
"Husband, he and Sister Xue... maybe they went out for something, right?" Qin Keqing thought.
But this thought had not stayed in her heart for long. After a while, Qin Keqing raised her eyes and saw two shadows reflected on the window. Her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, and she couldn't help but reach out to cover her mouth as if struck by thunder.
I saw the two figures hugging each other, and the shadow of Zhen's head, which was obviously wearing a bun, seemed to be raised high, while the figure of the man was buried under the neck of the figure with a bun, holding a small moon in his mouth.
"Husband, he and Sister Xue..." Qin Keqing saw this scene, her delicate body swayed, and she couldn't help but cover her heart with her hands. She didn't know when her face had become as pale as paper, but the light in the attic was slightly dim, so she couldn't see clearly.
Feelings of mixed emotions, shock, sourness, relief?
As for the relief, it was nothing more than the last boot landing, but there was actually a hint of relief in my heart.
The husband and Sister Xue were in such secret communication that it was definitely not just a day or two. I am afraid that when Xue Pan was sent to the Wucheng Army and Horses Division, the two of them kept coming and going, a man and a woman living together in the same room, and then the two Just hooked up.
Well, why did she say hookup?
No, my husband likes Sister Xue so much, he should tell her. She is not a jealous person, right? But now my hands and feet are cold, and my heart aches...
It's just that she... suffered so much from being kept secret.
If the third sister hadn't told her, maybe she would have been kept in the dark until the two of them became pregnant.
When that day comes, she won't be the last to know, right?
Thinking of this, I was startled and began to recall whether the eyes of those mothers, Third Sister You and Second Sister You had a different meaning in the past.
But when I think about it, there is no special meaning.
"No wonder Sister Xue has looked at me with such complicated eyes these past two days. It turns out..." Qin Keqing's beautiful eyes lowered slightly. At this moment, she realized with hindsight that the girl had peeked at her with complicated eyes from time to time during the day. Doubts, now have answers.
Qin Keqing took a deep breath, forced down the sourness in her heart, and left the attic.
Ningguo Mansion, West Wing Study Room
The wind and shadow outside the window are swaying, candles are clustered in the house, and the warm fragrance in the smoke cage floats silently in the room with the curls of light smoke, refreshing the heart and mind.
The bed surrounded by curtains was covered with a quilt embroidered with hibiscus flowers, but there were two people sitting on it at this moment. Zhen's head, with her bun in a bun, was slightly raised. Her face was as white and plump as a white begonia, as bright as the clouds. Two soft, soft jade hands were holding the young man's shoulders, and the golden lock hanging around his neck looked aggrievedly. The swing was swinging back and forth, and every time the golden lock swayed, it dazzled with light that gradually changed from light to dark circles.
The tassels on the skirt had already been rubbed into a mess by one hand.
Baochai's delicate body trembled and she hummed softly. Suddenly she felt something strange. She opened her bright eyes with a hint of moistness and moistened her lips as if she was murmuring in shame: "Brother Heng, what's wrong? (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 523 Qin Keqing: This smell of cold scented pills...
…”
Jia Heng stood up, stared at Baochai, who had her head lowered and her face was blushing, and whispered: "It's nothing."
I don’t know what’s going on, but I feel vaguely uncomfortable.
It felt like I was being watched.
This feeling is actually like being targeted by a sniper scope in later generations.
He lowered some of the curtains and carried Baochai to the bed in the back room. The feeling of being spied on became less severe.
Probably not Yinger.
Jia Heng thought so.
Baochai felt the discomfort in her skirt, and her cheeks were as red as fire, extending to her earlobes. Her voice was already trembling, and she whispered: "Brother Heng...it's getting late, otherwise...I'll go back first. , it’s too late to go back, mom should be suspicious.”
She was worried that if things continued like this, it would really lead to chaos.
Jia Heng hugged her plump figure and whispered: "Sister, the rain and dew are so heavy now...don't catch a cold."
"Brother Heng? Ah..." Baochai's heart trembled slightly, and he was stunned for a moment, then understood, and then suddenly fell into Jia Heng's arms, his moist apricot eyes lowered, hiding a hint of panic.
Jia Heng said softly: "How about I serve my sister for once?"
"Ah?" Baochai's jade face showed a trace of confusion, as if she was a little confused.
Jia Heng thought for a while, then gave up the idea and whispered: "When we pick up Wenlong tomorrow, let's go out for a walk."
I always feel that something is vaguely wrong.
Baochai said "hmm", bit her cherry lips with her white teeth, and her apricot eyes were softly wavy.
As the two of them talked, they cleaned up and left the inner compartment. Only the blush remaining on Baochai's face, as bright as rouge, seemed to remind them of the thrill just now.
Ying'er quickly put down the needle and thread in her hand, pretending not to notice Baochai's strange behavior, and whispered: "Girl, shall we go back?"
"It's getting late, it's time to go back." Baochai said softly, then turned to look at Jia Heng and said, "Brother Heng, there is no need to send me off, I can just go back by myself."
She was worried that she might no longer be able to stop his frivolity.
While Jia Heng was talking, he also sent Baochai out of the study, walked to the eaves of the corridor, and said, "Then I won't send Sister Xue away. Wenlong's side... huh?"
As he was talking, he suddenly felt startled, and saw a slim and beautiful girl standing at the Moon Gate. Under the clouds and green bun, her hibiscus and jade face was covered with frost, and there were even people beside her. He didn't take his maid with him, he just stood there by himself.
"Husband, it's getting so late, why don't you take Sister Xue back?" Qin Keqing asked with a smile in her bright eyes under her willow-leaf eyebrows.
She had just figured it out, she was the first imperial eunuch, and she was the wife that her husband was marrying. She couldn't pretend not to know, but let her husband do whatever he wanted.
When Baochai heard Qin Keqing's voice at this moment, she couldn't help but startled. The remaining blush on her face disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a pale, green-feathered eyebrow with apricot eyes in shock.
The lanterns that Ying'er was holding fell down.
Jia Heng asked: "Ke Qing, it's so late, why aren't you asleep?"
Qin Keqing was wearing a red dress. Under the reflection of a string of red lanterns on both sides of the corridor, the golden steps on her bun shone brightly. She walked closer and said with a smile: "Just come and take a look, sister, the sky is still dark at this time." Morning, why don't you go in and sit down and talk for a while, since I haven't been able to talk to my sister properly."
Just now, it was getting late, but now it was still early, but for the girl, it was for the two of them. After Baochai heard this, Yurong paused, bit her pink lips with her teeth, looked at the girl opposite with her almond-shaped eyes, and vaguely understood something.
It seems... discovered?
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said softly: "Ke Qing, Sister Xue, tomorrow..."
Qin Keqing glanced at Jia Heng and said softly: "Husband, I'll talk to Sister Xue. You should go back and rest first."
When Jia Heng's words came to his lips, he quickly paused because when he looked closer, he noticed that Ke Qing's eyes seemed to have marks.
"Brother Heng, I'm just chatting with...Sister Qin." Baochai calmed down and whispered.
"That's fine." Jia Heng said softly, looked at Qin Keqing and said, "I'll go back to the room and wait for you."
He really doesn't fit in here.
(This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 523 Qin Keqing: This smell of cold scented pills...
With that said, he headed towards the backyard room.
After Jia Heng left, Qin Keqing walked towards the anxious Baochai, took Su's hand and said softly: "Sister."
Ying'er glanced at her young lady worriedly, and she nodded and said softly: "Ying'er, just wait here and I'll say a few words."
Then, Baochai and Qin Keqing entered the study room in the west wing arm in arm, sat down on the chairs across a small table from each other. In this side room where the two of them had secretly communicated, Baochai frowned slightly and felt a little strange in her heart.
Qin Keqing picked up the teapot at this time, then picked up several tea cups, as if he wanted to pour tea for Baochai.
When Baochai saw this, her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly took the teapot and said in a trembling voice: "Sister Qin, I'll just do it." Qin Keqing's expression paused, but she didn't insist. In other words, it was just a test, so it was true. If you let her serve you, don't blame her.
At this time, the beautiful eyes under Liu Ye's eyebrows looked at the girl who lifted the teapot and poured tea. She was plump and elegant, with smooth muscles and bones. No wonder her husband liked her so much and kept it secret from her for so long. Thinking of this, her heart felt sour.
Baochai was also a little uneasy. She poured the tea cup, endured a strange feeling in her heart, held it over with both hands, and said in a trembling voice: "Sister, drink tea."
At this moment, he almost walked over to offer tea to the doctor.
Qin Keqing reached out and took the tea cup. Looking at the fair-skinned girl opposite, she felt a little better. She took the tea cup, took a sip, and suddenly looked at Baochai with burning eyes and asked, "Sister and him... …When did it start?”
When Baochai heard this, her cheeks turned red, she lowered her head slightly and muttered: "I..."
How should she answer this?
Qin Keqing sighed quietly and asked: "But when the Xue brothers went to the Five Cities Military and Horse Division?" Baochai whispered: "...that was that time.
Qin Keqing paused and murmured, "It's so early."
This sentence instantly made Baochai's heart hang in his throat.
Qin Keqing looked at Baochai, who was bowing his head silently, and said softly: "It seems that he really likes his sister." Last year, she and him had only been married for a short time, and the Xue family had only been in Beijing for a long time, and they hooked up like this.
Moreover, through Xue Pan's incident, the two had the opportunity to get together. After that, they fell in love for a long time. Why didn't she notice it at the time?
What was she doing at that time?
Let her think about it? Well, touch dominoes?
This is really...
No wonder he invented mahjong later?
Qin Keqing suddenly felt a sense of absurdity in his heart, but when he thought about it, it seemed very reasonable.
"Sister, I..." Seeing that the girl opposite was silent, Baochai became more and more uneasy, opened her mouth, and called out in a low voice.
In fact, if we really talk about it, she was the one who asked Brother Heng to look at Jin Suo that day...
Qin Keqing retracted her thoughts, took a deep breath, looked at the girl opposite, and said: "Sister, I will go and tell my aunt tomorrow that I will accept my sister on an auspicious day."
Na rather than marry, of course I never thought of marrying for a moment.
When Baochai heard this, her jade face changed slightly, she considered her words carefully and said, "Sister...he said to wait a little longer."
Speaking of the latter part, I felt even more frightened.
"What are you waiting for? If others see it, it will not be good for my sister's reputation. He doesn't know the honor of our daughter's family.
There shouldn't be any stains. "Qin Keqing picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said softly.
Baochai didn't know how to explain it.
Could it be that he also married her as his wife? I'm afraid Sister Qin...
But this failure to explain the truth is obviously not a problem.
Baochai hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "He said he would marry someone close to me in a few years."
When Qin Keqing heard this, he paused in his hand and made a "click" sound from the teacup. His face instantly turned pale without a trace of blood.
Married?
What about her?
Are you going to divorce her? And then marry a girl from the Xue family?
Impossible, she was granted a first-grade imperial title by the imperial court.
Yes, if you have no children, you have violated the rule of seven outings. Divorcing your wife has its own reputation, so you are waiting for her here?
No, it doesn't make sense. With my husband's temperament, as long as he explains it clearly to her, there is no need to go to such trouble. And he has been saying it before (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 523 Qin Keqing: This smell of cold scented pills...
Be on good terms with her.
Seeing the ugly face of the beauty opposite, Baochai knew that there was an ambiguity in his words, so he quickly explained: "Sister misunderstood. He said that he would wait a few years to make meritorious service before asking for marriage from the palace. Only then would he It’s the best of both worlds, not the other way around.”
She sighed secretly in her heart, if she hadn't heard about getting married just now, she wouldn't have said anything about getting married.
When Qin Keqing heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She stared at the girl opposite who was clutching a handkerchief with a look of annoyance, and said in a daze, "It seems he really likes Sister Xue."
This time, his heart felt even more sour. He even said the promise of marriage based on meritorious service. How much love would this bring?
This is to prevent her from being a little wronged and treat her with the courtesy of a true wife. No wonder I kept it from her.
"My husband always means what he says. If he says so, he will definitely do it in the future. Congratulations to my sister." Qin Keqing said softly.
Baochai said quickly: "Sister has misunderstood. Brother Heng likes her and he has always loved and protected her."
Just as he was talking, he gradually felt that his words to defend him were inappropriate, and he said softly: "Sister Qin, it's me...it's my fault."
When she spoke for him, where did she put the person opposite? On the contrary, it seemed that she and he were one and the same as husband and wife.
That's not what he said.
Just when I was distracted, I suddenly felt my hand being held, and heard a soft voice like water ringing in my ears. I raised my eyes to meet the bright and clear eyes, and my heart moved slightly.
Qin Keqing said softly: "I know my sister's heart, so I don't need to explain it. As for him, he and I are both husband and wife. In fact, I told him a few days ago that Sister Xue has such a good appearance. When we are about to get married, it would be nice to take them over as sisters together, but I didn’t think about it..."
Unexpectedly, he hid it and pretended, but his tone was really tight. Was he afraid that she would bully Sister Xue if he got through?
Besides, the second and third sisters in the room were all waiting for food. He had told him early that she was not a jealous woman, so he had to tell her.
Hearing this, Baochai stared at Qin Keqing for a moment with her watery apricot eyes, sighed, and called, "Sister Qin."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about my sister. Does aunt know about this?" Qin Keqing asked with concern.
Baochai shook Zhen's head gently and whispered: "I haven't told mom yet."
Qin Keqing thought for a while and said in a delicate voice: "You can't hide it for too long. Even if your husband wants to achieve military merit and then ask the palace to grant a marriage, what should I do if my aunt arranges a marriage for my sister during this time? ?”
"What do you mean, sister?" Baochai heard this, raised his jade face as crystal clear as snow, pursed his lips, and said anxiously.
Qin Keqing said: "When my sister thinks the time is right, she can talk to her aunt. If she has any difficulties at that time, she can come to me and I will talk to my aunt. Then it will be better to spread the word."
No matter what, she needs to think about her husband's reputation.
When Baochai heard this, he looked at the girl with gentle eyes across from him, and felt warm currents in his heart.
Because no one knows better than her, if the woman in front of her helps her tell it, the kind of gossip that will last a lifetime will not be spread by others. She said gratefully: "I listen to my sister."
Qin Keqing took Baochai's jade hand, sat on the soft couch beside him, smiled and said: "Sister, I can come over often to talk. If we pass the door, not only him, but we will also live under the same roof." It’s a lifelong thing.”
It's easy to say what princesses and princesses are there in front of me, and I don't know how many princesses and princesses there are outside. This is really tricky.
Hearing this, Baochai's cheeks turned red with embarrassment. She nodded her head gently and said softly, "Sister knows more than me. I'll have to trouble her to remind her in the future."
"I also like my sister's character." Qin Keqing said with a sweet smile.
The two of them talked and didn't realize that time passed.
"I can't say anything else." Qin Keqing said softly, swallowing the words that before the two of them get married, it would be best not to bring out the child. It sounded like she had a guilty conscience, and she smiled and said: "Okay, my husband is probably impatient, so I'll take you there."
Baochai responded calmly, feeling a little dizzy.
But talk about the other side (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 523 Qin Keqing: This smell of cold scented pills...
, in the backyard, in the wing room, Jia Heng was sitting on the bed, picking up a book and reading by the candlelight on the table. After being surprised just now, he calmed down now.
Although what happened was slightly beyond his expectation, it actually didn't lead to a fire in the backyard.
After a while, I heard familiar footsteps coming from outside the bamboo-patterned embroidered screen. Not long after, I saw a beautiful woman with a graceful appearance and gorgeous clothes slowly coming in from the outside.
"Come back?" Jia Heng put down the book in his hand and asked.
Qin Keqing said "hmm" and silently came to the dressing table, shaking the golden hairpin on her temples in front of the bronze mirror.
Jia Heng put down the book, walked up to the beauty, looked at the hibiscus jade face in the bronze mirror, and said softly: "Today, my father-in-law and I went to see Mr. Shi from the Ministry of War. I think it will be here in the next few days."
"Just go and see me. You don't need to tell me about these external things." Qin Keqing put the removed gold hairpin into a brocade box and said softly.
Jia Heng gently squeezed the beauty's shoulder and whispered, "I just want to tell you, you should know."
"I haven't seen you say anything about what I want to know." Qin Keqing said quietly.
Jia Heng: "..."
"Are you jealous?" When the beauty stood up, Jia Heng hugged her slender waist from behind and whispered.
Qin Keqing turned around, with a smile on her beautiful face, and said: "I wipe dominoes every day, and I have the third sister and the others to accompany me. How can I be jealous? Well, I can still play mahjong now. , listening to the play, compared with the old lady of Xifu, she is just short of a family full of children and grandchildren."
"You said you're not jealous? I'm afraid the entire Ningrong Street can smell the jealousy." Jia Heng leaned close to his cheek and joked in a low voice.
But Qing has always been obedient and obedient. Could he be led astray by... Sister Feng for his sudden debut? Qin Keqing gently broke away from Jia Heng's arm, bit her lips with her teeth, and said angrily: "I'm afraid the whole Ningrong Street can smell the smell of cold scented pills on my body. Don't hug me right now."
Jia Heng: "???"
Seeing that the young man behind her was speechless, Qin Keqing also felt that these words were a bit offensive, but she was really unhappy if she didn't stab him a few words.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said softly: "I didn't tell you in advance."
But what Qing was angry about all the time was that he hid it from her. This was the crux of the problem, but how could he not hide it?
"There's no need to say anything now. Sister Xue has told me everything." Qin Keqing said with a self-deprecating smile. She thought to herself that she had seen everything anyway. After thinking about it, she said softly: "I think Sister Xue is a good person." , Luo Luo is generous, and he is also a knowledgeable person. I asked the question the day before yesterday, but my husband still gave me a careless look... My husband's family has only three generations. Even if it is to extend the heir plan, it doesn't matter if I have more houses. I won't stop it. of."
She couldn't even ask if she had to hide it from her and outside.
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said: "Things are a bit complicated. You know the situation of her family. I want to wait for a year or two and find a way to give her a status, otherwise..."
Otherwise, as soon as he got his brother in, he would take his sister. Aunt Xue might have thought that he was trying to seize the Xue family's property.
Qin Keqing sighed softly and said: "It's good that your husband is aware of it. Sister Xue is okay. She can also perform military exploits. Please give me a marriage title. If she is a princess, princess or something, I will give her a title. I don't think so." Is it easy? At that time, my husband also told me in advance that I would pack up and go back to my parents’ house without causing any trouble to my husband.”
Jia Heng: “???
How should he answer the call at this time? Just pretend you didn't hear me, but it's normal for you to be angry. If you're not angry... you'll be in big trouble.
But once you're angry, it's over.
"Madam, the hot water is ready." At this time, Baozhu called from outside.
When Jia Heng heard this voice, he felt relieved and said quickly: "Help me prepare my clothes, I will also take a bath."
With that said, he took Qin Keqing's hand and said warmly: "Okay, don't be angry. Let's take a bath and rest early. There are still a lot of things to do these days."
"Yeah." Qin Keqing said softly, and rolled her eyes at the young man, before the sourness in her heart gradually dissipated.
She wasn't too jealous at first, but... she had to hide it from her.
(This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 523 Qin Keqing: This smell of cold scented pills...
Also, don’t touch the ones that are close to you in Dongfu. You have to go to Xifu to search for them. No wonder Miss You San is so angry that she secretly stumbles you.
Well, she still has to help the third sister hide it, otherwise she will be kept in the dark again in the future, without even an informant to report the news.
It's just that Sister Xue is also a scheming person. She can see that how to get along with each other in the future will take a lot of effort.
