Part One: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter Two: The Spiritual Stone of Fate
Chapter 251 Returning Home (1)
We were still talking about Chang Rong and Qiao'er last night. As soon as she woke up and opened her eyes in the morning, Yue Qing saw Qiao'er.
Qiao'er was sitting beside Yue Qing's bed, packing something.
Jian Yueqing opened her eyes and immediately laughed: "Miss, are you awake?"
"Qiao'er?" Yue Qing rubbed her eyes.
"Yes, Miss, Qiao'er hasn't been here to see Miss for a few days, and she misses me so much."
Yueqing sat up and Qiaoer quickly helped her.
"When did you come back?"
"We arrived last night, when the lady was sleeping soundly."
Qing'er walked in with hot water, "Ah, get up, don't lift the quilt yet, it's still a bit cold this morning."
Qiao'er said: "It's indeed a bit cold. Miss, it's better to cover her up." Then she covered Yue Qing with a quilt.
"Miss, this little coat is really useful. Yesterday I heard from Sister Qing'er that Miss Qing'er had her menstruation. She was still sleeping so soundly. I heard that yesterday she was wandering around in the woods looking for things to play with."
Yue Qing smiled, "Of course, I told you not to worry."
Qiaoer took a box from one side and said, "We just happened to be back. Here are the clothes that the young lady asked Mrs. Wan to make. They are all made of the materials that the young lady likes. This menstrual belt has been specially made wider by Mrs. Wan. , and there are a few more layers of water-absorbent material inside, which will definitely be more useful than the ones in between."
Yue Qing stretched out her hand and touched it: "Well, this material is very soft and feels comfortable against the skin. Wow, I didn't realize it at the time, but it's so much to see it."
Qiao'er said: "It's better to have more than too little. Young ladies always have to use it."
Yue Qing nodded and noticed that there were knife marks on the outside of the box, only one of which was particularly obvious on the delicate box. Touched it, "What is this?"
Qiaoer took one look and said, "Oh, this is specially engraved for easy recognition."
"Oh. What a shame for such a beautiful box."
Qing'er said: "Okay, Miss, please change out of those dirty clothes as soon as you get up. It will be uncomfortable if you keep wearing them."
Qiaoer nodded: "Yes, miss, come on, Qiaoer will help you change it."
Yue Qing waved her hand quickly: "No, I'll change it myself. I can do this little thing myself."
Qing'er said with a smile: "Qiao'er, let the lady change it by herself. I haven't done this even once since yesterday. If you say too much, the lady won't let you get close."
Qiaoer smiled: "Okay, miss, change it yourself, and Qiaoer will help you clean it later."
Yue Qing twitched her eyebrows. He didn't say much, and it was useless no matter how much he said. The villa took care of the spirit girl's daily life too meticulously, and simply treated the spirit girl as a toddler who couldn't do anything.
After yesterday's game, and Yue Qing's energetic appearance this morning, no one finally objected to her suggestion of setting off immediately.
So the group embarked on the journey again, and there was no problem in the last stretch of the journey. After resting for a night in a city near the capital, we finally arrived in the capital in the afternoon of the next day.
The Kyoto of Li State was originally called Langdu. It turned out to be a very wealthy city rich in jade. It is the richest city in the Li Kingdom. Later, after it was used as an imperial city, it was changed to Langjing.
The city is heavily guarded and extremely prosperous. In addition to the royal family, there are also four very prominent and powerful families. Three of them hold important positions in the palace. In recent years, the situation in the capital of Li Kingdom has not changed. Many small families have emerged, such as the Shi family and the Qiu family. They are all newcomers. Of course, they can't compare to those wealthy and prosperous families with big trees and deep roots.
Before entering Beijing, Qiaoer gossiped to Yueqing on the carriage, and Yueqing listened with great interest.
"Qiao'er, where do you know so much?"
"Of course I asked about it from everywhere. I also learned a lot about their Li country. I think the most important thing to pay attention to in their Li country is that there are so many powerful people, and most of them are arrogant and domineering. Also, miss, I heard There are hundreds of concubines in the harem of Emperor Li, and Emperor Li also holds a talent show every year. The most favored one now is Concubine Shi, guess who she is."
"How can I guess? I don't know her."
"Miss, she is King Bowei's sister."
Yue Qing coughed: "What? King Bowei's sister? Isn't King Bowei the brother of Emperor Li? Emperor Li marries his own sister?"
"Miss, King Bowei is not the emperor's brother. He was originally from a wealthy family and received a reward for his military merits. And this Concubine Shi is his cousin."
"oh."
"By the way, Shi Rong and the others are also related to this Concubine Shi."
"That's easy to guess."
"Hey, most of the aristocratic children of the Li Kingdom are uneducated and idle. I heard that there are quite a few with bad conduct. Miss, if you want to go out, be careful, don't let someone without eyes bump into you."
Yue Qing smiled and said, "I don't know how to go out by myself, so what should I be afraid of?"
"It's best not to go out. Women in Li country generally don't go out. Those who are outside are those who are making a living, or middle-aged women, and some maids and women who work for wealthy families. Serious If ladies of other countries have to go out in carriages all the way, to go out to visit a friend or something, then they have to use fans to cover themselves when getting in and out of the carriage."
"Okay, I understand, little housekeeper. I'll try to go out as little as possible."
"It would be great if Miss could listen."
Qing'er laughed at the side and said: "Okay, Qiao'er, if the lady can completely obey you and not go out, she will no longer be a lady. If you are worried, just follow her every day."
Qiao'er said: "Yes, if you don't go out, you won't be a young lady. You will be worried when you go out, and you will be worried if you don't go out."
Yueqing heard the two of them teasing here, opened the car curtain and looked outside, "What are you doing outside? Why did you stop for so long?"
Qiaoer glanced outside and said, "Probably making arrangements to go into the city."
"Do you need to arrange anything else before entering the city?"
"I don't know about this, I'll ask."
Qiao'er opened the curtain and asked, "Commander Jiao, why don't you leave from the front?"
Commander Jiao said: "There are people in the capital greeting us from the front, saying that a rest building has been arranged. Deacon Xue and the others are talking, and the lady is waiting impatiently."
Yue Qing said: "Why do we have to live in the residence? Aren't we going back to the palace directly?"
San Yuxiao said: "There are quite a few of us, including Mo Xue Changge and several deacons, plus the lady has a distinguished status. I probably want to show the etiquette and goodwill of the Li country, and on the other hand, it is also easier to understand our situation."
Yue Qing smiled and said, "What does this mean? Are you treating us as foreign guests? I just want to go home for a visit. Do you want to make it so grand? There won't be any reception banquet or something like that to attend, right? ."
"Looking at the situation, it's probably possible. If the young lady doesn't want to participate, just leave it to Mo Xue."
"Oh, that's good. It's best if you don't bother me."
After waiting for a while, Mo Xue and Yue Chi came to the car.
"Miss, Emperor Li has arranged a hotel for us. Miss, do you want to stay?" Mo Xue asked.
"I don't want to go."
Mo Xue said: "I don't want to go even if I want to. We have already agreed that the young lady will go back to the palace with us directly. Mo Wei will take some people to live in the palace with the head of the Yue family."
"good."
Mo Xue said, "As long as the young lady agrees, we can talk about other things when we get to the palace."
