As the winter solstice is approaching, Qingya's hip injury is gradually getting better, but she can still only lie on the bed every day.
In the evening, Cuihe applied medicine to her in the tent, straightened her skirt, packed the medicine box next to her, and helped her up: "Girl, please slow down! Cuihe saw that your wound is slightly scarred. , it should be fine soon!”
She smiled slightly and stretched out her arms: "I don't know which store I bought this medicine from. It is really good and has a faint fragrance. But speaking of it, my wound is not very big. Now I can do it." Slowly try to sit down."
Cui He lowered his head and smiled, and said: "Yes, the girl is in good health and she will be fine in just a few days. A few days ago, Cui He saw that the girl had difficulty moving, and she would also suffer from the pain when she came later. It was really distressing to her. !”
Qingya took her hands and nodded: "Yes, I know Cuihe is good to me!"
The two laughed, and after a while Qingya stood in front of the desk and read a book, and then gently leaned on the low chair covered with a velvet blanket. She suddenly remembered what Li Shizhang said to her mother when she scolded her that day - "This woman has many times Disobedience and unfilial piety have something to do with you. Do you want her to follow in your footsteps?"
She was puzzled and turned to ask: "Cuihe, do you know the past of my sister when she was a child?"
Cui He was sorting out her paintings. When she heard this question, she stopped: "How did Cui He know that the girl forgot that I didn't enter the house until I was five years old!"
Cui He rolled up the painting and put it in the basket. He took another look at her thoughtful look and asked, "Girl, what's wrong with you? Why do you ask these questions."
She put the book lightly on the desk and pinched the braids at her ears: "It's nothing wrong. I just heard that my father said that I would not follow in my sister's footsteps. I was thinking about my sister's story when she was young. ?”
Cuihe counted the paintings in the basket and said: "Young lady, you are overthinking it. The eldest lady is the consort's biological sister. Since she has cultivated good virtues since she was a child, she will not have any bad past events. The Lord may just say it casually!" "
"I always feel that my sister is hiding something from me. In fact, when I was young, I heard Qingru say that I was not my father's biological daughter. Think about it, the one who can say such words must be Cuitao Qizhi, and Cuitao is the previous wife. My personal maid, she will know something about it!"
"Girl, you are really overthinking it. The third girl's childish temper may have been made up at will just to annoy you."
Seeing how serious Cui He was, she also thought that what she said was reasonable, so she didn't ask any more questions and just answered: "Okay!"
Seeing that she picked up the book again with peace of mind, Cuihe smiled slightly.
She read for a while and felt her eyes were a little tired, so she walked to the bed, opened the wooden cabinet beside the bed and took out a wooden box. The wooden box contained many letters, which were a finger thick. She carefully opened the envelope, Smiling sweetly while reading.
Upon seeing this, Cuihe joked: "The girl reads these letters every day, which shows how deep the girl's affection for His Highness Prince Qi is!"
"He never forgets to write to me even in his busy schedule, so he is interested in me too!" She seemed to be addicted to a honey pot, her affection for Wan Yanliang was out of control. She tilted her head and read every sentence. Like more.
"Qingya, Qingya!" As Kyouto's voice gradually became clearer, she immediately collected the letters on the table one by one and put them back into the box.
Kyouto then came in with the help of Mo Ying. Seeing her panic, he asked: "Qingya, what did you just do?"
She pretended to be calm and nothing happened, and smiled and said: "It's nothing, my daughter has just been writing!"
Gongren looked at her carefully and then said: "In the evening, your father invites your cousin and sister-in-law to come over and have some wine together. They finally returned from Liaoyang, so you have to be more sensitive."
After hearing this, she had a flash of inspiration and was very happy: "Sister-in-law is coming too?"
"Yes, the imperial concubine is here too. Qingya, please listen carefully. Your cousin is thinking about you! Although I don't want you to enter the imperial family, your cousin treats you very well. He He is taciturn and has a clear temper. You must not be impulsive or disrespectful to him."
"I know, how could I do such a thing."
Kyouto straightened her clothes and held her hands: "Is the wound feeling better?"
She nodded: "It's much better, now you can slowly try to sit down!"
Gongren glanced at Cui He and answered with satisfaction: "That means He'er and Xiyi have taken good care of you. You must be frizzy."
"You are so happy, then change into something bright and cool. Your brother and sister-in-law will be happy to see you!"
"Yes!" She answered, holding her pigtails and looking at Kyouto quietly.
She suddenly remembered what Li Shi said and asked, "Sister, can you tell me a story about when you were a girl? Why did your father say that I must not follow in your footsteps?"
Kyouto's eyes dodge, fearing that she might think too much and get to the bottom of it. She raised her head and answered with a smile: "I don't even remember, your father just said something impulsively!"
"Yes! Girl, Cui He also told you so. My Lord, Xu was too impulsive that day!"
After hearing the advice from both of them, she asked again: "Sister, actually when I was young, I heard Qingru say that I was a wild child and not my father's biological child. She said that Cuitao told her personally, and Cuitao was the former eldest lady's personal bodyguard. Maid, Qingya wants to..."
Kyouto interrupted her immediately: "Qingya, what's going on? How can you take your childish words seriously!"
"But when I think about it, I feel strange. Why would you say such things to me? Maybe my sister has something to hide?"
Gongren arranged her clothes carefully: "Qingya, I gave birth to you after ten months of hard work. It is a fact that you are Li Shi's biological daughter. If you don't believe it, just ask your father."
"Then why is daddy so harsh on me? He and I are like stepfather and stepsons."
Gongren was thinking about it. He knew clearly that Li Shi was unkind to her, but he still wanted to comfort her: "What nonsense are you talking about? Your father is like this because he hopes that his daughter will become a phoenix. Otherwise, he wouldn't give her anything." You promised your cousin such a good family!"
She came with wide eyes: "Sister, do you think this is a good family?"
Gongren put his hand gently on her jade, gathered her servant girl and sat on the bed. After a moment of silence, she said: "Yongguo Mansion is the residence of the third prince of our ancestors. His family is rich and rich, and so is Lu'er. You are so talented, why don't you come from a good family? Although I, as a mother, hope that you will be a decent woman, but if you think about it, King Yong is famous for his good nature and good temper, so he is not bad. How many girls want to I want to go crazy to enter his house, but you don’t want to.”
But she shook her head and sighed: "If you like him, even if he is a commoner, I will dare to marry him. If you don't like him, even if he is the 95th, I will not marry him. Come to think of it, why doesn't dad let Qingru enter the house? ? In terms of appearance, she is much more outstanding than me."
"Look at what ridiculous things you said. If you marry a commoner, you don't know what the people in Ningcheng will think of our Li family! And! Qingru, your father will definitely choose for her. A person from a good family may be as good as you, how can you, as a sister, overpower your sister?"
"What's there to argue about? Everyone has his own blessings. I find it boring to fight over these things."
Kyouto stood up slowly and walked beside the wardrobe: "That's all, we'll talk about it later, just take a step and see what happens!"
"Anyway, dad and I, the relationship between father and daughter has broken down a long time ago, let's just wait and see if it will disappear one day!"
Kyouto knocked on the door of the closet and said, "I won't say anything anymore. Don't think too much. Come quickly and change your clothes. Your cousin will arrive from time to time."
Gongren gave two or three instructions and then walked out. Under Cuihe's service, she put on a plain thick waist-length short coat, with a layer of cloud shoulders on her shoulders and a white rat fur collar. Thick hair hangs down from the top, with small rings on the front hanging down the ears, and hairpins with fluffy beads in between.
She picked up her skirt and was walking to the banquet room with Cui He, but when she turned around, she saw Wanyan Yong Zili and the small pavilion on the corridor. He was wearing a plain-colored dress with large sleeves, and she was wearing the same color dress by chance.
