Part One: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter Two: The Spiritual Stone of Fate
Chapter 255 Princess Yongjing (2)
After taking everyone into the room and walking around, Yue Qing sighed: "There are still some familiar things."
Seeing her like this, the madam said, "There is no reason why she is not familiar with it. You have lived here for a long time. The furnishings in this house have not changed at all. They are just waiting for you to come back and live here."
Yue Qing nodded, "Mother, you are really thoughtful."
The lady smiled and said: "I don't mean it. Although I have arranged for people to come, Chunxiu and the others said that they don't like people coming in the princess's room. So only the four of them come in to clean up the room every day, and no one else comes in." Don’t let anything be touched.”
Yue Qing smiled: "They are interested."
Yue Ke said: "She is a loyal girl."
Yue Qing looked at him: "That's what I picked. Since you're in my room, of course you have to face me." Just as he was talking, he saw Qi Jiao and the others looking around, their eyes not even looking at the corners of the house. Passed.
"Hey, Qi Jiao, what are you looking at? This courtyard isn't big, and it's basically finished. Look, where do you want to live? Oh, those two rooms to the east are where Cai'er and the others live, so we can't give them to them. You live in. And the house on the west side is basically a place where you go to play on weekdays. It doesn't even have a decent door. Apart from these, it is the small room at the entrance of the courtyard. No one lives there. It is supposed to be for the gatekeeper. Just live there. There are only a few houses, you can decide which one is suitable for you."
Qi Jiao said: "I think that small room will be enough. The house to the west is still for the young lady to have fun. The small house at the door is enough for the three of us."
Yue Qing smiled and said: "It's a bit crowded for just one person. Can the three of you live together?"
Chang Ge said: "There's nothing wrong with it. Just live in that small room."
The lady looked at the three of them and said, "How can three deacons live in that kind of house? Although there is not much yard in the backyard of the palace, there are still many empty rooms in the front yard. It is better for a few adults to live in the front yard directly. ."
Chang Ge said: "No. There must be someone in the young lady's courtyard."
Madam wondered: "Deacon Ge, I know this too, but Li country has its own customs. If there are men living in Yuqing Courtyard, I'm afraid they will be criticized."
Chang Ge looked at her and said, "Madam, you probably don't know yet, but Miss is the most qualified spiritual girl in the Villa."
The lady was stunned for a moment: "The most qualified spirit girl? Then..."
Chang Ge said: "Outsiders don't understand the relationship here, but Madam should understand. The lady is not only the most qualified spiritual girl, but also the saint of the villa. The former Red Jade Pavilion where she lived was later renamed Qingyue Pavilion by the lady. , is the dean of Qingyue Pavilion."
The lady frowned: "This..."
Chang Ge continued: "There cannot be only a few Zhu Wei in the courtyard master's room."
The lady stopped talking. Yue Qing looked at her and then at Chang Ge, cleared her throat and said, "Okay, mother, let them live if they want to. I'm used to it."
The madam looked at her, was stunned for a while and said: "I have already had a question, Yu Qing, the spirit girl cannot leave the villa, how did you get out."
Yue Qing blinked, "I thought my mother was married, so I came back to see you. You saw me too. I didn't come alone. There were a lot of people following me."
The lady smiled, "Forget it, in that case, why not just choose a place in the nearby yard that is closer for a few deacons to live in. Yuqing's yard is really too small. I originally thought that Yuqing is still young, so there is no need to be too big. The big yard, now it seems that, as a human being, this yard is indeed too small."
Chang Ge said: "No need to go to such trouble, we won't be able to stay for long, just the small room."
"Oh, let's not discuss it. Let's do this. I think I won't stay in the yard all the time. The room on the west side is not interesting. Let's renovate it and let Chang Ge and Mo Xue live in it. Qi Jiao can live in the small room. The room is spacious enough.”
Yue Ke nodded, "Okay, I don't think the lady will stay in the courtyard all the time."
The lady said: "If you don't stay in the courtyard, where else do you want to go? There is no place where girls can run around and play. Even if you are the owner of the courtyard, the elders should not agree to let you come out to play."
Yue Ke smiled: "Madam, what you said is wrong. The elders don't dare to lock her up. If they don't let her out, they will have to demolish the elder's house."
Madam glared at Yue Qing again.
Yue Ke said: "I've finished walking around this courtyard. I believe Madam and Miss still have a lot to say, so we won't disturb you." He patted Chang Ge on the shoulder and said, "Two adults, please clean up your residence. Really? Come on, I’ll accompany you to pick things up.”
Qi Jiao said, "You can just go. I have nothing to deal with, so I will just stay at the entrance of the courtyard. Just don't disturb the young lady and madam."
The lady nodded, "Thank you to the deacons. Although the palace is not big, there are several gardens for viewing. I will let Xiaoye accompany you around."
Yue Ke said: "What a great idea, then I'll give it to Miss Lao Xiaoye."
Xiaoye looked at his wife, who said, "You can go, it will be fine if Hong'er and Yuqing are with me."
"Yes, Xiaoye will come over right away."
After seeing a few people leaving, Madam breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Yue Qing towards the back room, "Come, Yuqing, let mother take a good look."
Yue Qing followed her into the back room and sat down.
The lady held her hand, looked at her for a long time, and said with tears in her eyes: "You have really grown up. I think you were so young when you left, and you have grown so big in the blink of an eye."
Yue Qing smiled: "Mom, of course, children will always grow up. Isn't mother happy when her daughter grows up?"
"I'm happy. Of course mother is happy. It's just a little regretful that I couldn't personally participate in your growth."
"Mother misses me, so look, I'm not back now, just to show my mother."
The lady nodded. "Yu Qing, please tell me how your life has been over the past few years."
"Mom, I'm a spiritual girl. Can anyone treat me badly in the villa? I get what I want. The people around me do everything they want. The only thing that doesn't go well is that I have some friction with the other two deans. ."
Madam originally listened with a smile, but when she heard about the friction with the other two deans, she became worried.
"The other two courtyard masters?"
"Um."
"Which two courtyard masters?"
"That's the Master of the Peony Courtyard and the Master of the Wutong Courtyard."
"Wutong Courtyard? Mother heard that the master of Wutong Courtyard is the strongest spiritual girl in the villa. How dare you have a dispute with her."
"Then why don't you dare? She provoked me first. Mother, don't you still trust your daughter? I'm not someone who would take the initiative to cause trouble for others."
"No, Yu Qing, you listen to your mother. Although you are a spiritual girl, you cannot be too willful, especially those house masters. Although the Chang family has a distinguished status in the villa, it is not without any restrictions."
Yue Qing rolled her eyes, "What restrictions, mother, didn't you hear what Deacon Ge said? I am now a more qualified spirit girl than the master of Wutong Academy, who dares to restrict me?"
"Just to put it bluntly, the spirit girl can't do whatever she wants? Will she also be subject to certain restrictions?"
"I heard from the Seventh Elder that you can't marry the royal family."
"This is just one of them, there are others, the most important of which is not to leave the villa."
"Ah? Then why did I come out."
"Mom is a little strange too. I thought it would be difficult to see you again."
"What did mom say? When I left, didn't you say that my father could pick me up?"
"That's what you'll do if you're unhappy at the Villa and there's nothing you can do. Mother doesn't want to do this unless it's a last resort. It will make your father and the Villa lose face."
"Oh, then you can also go back to the villa to see me."
The lady sighed: "How can it be so easy? It is not easy to go back. The journey is long and a round trip always consumes a lot of manpower and material resources."
"Hey, mother is right to be worried."
"So I'm so happy that you can come back this time." The lady said, touching her hair.
"Hehe. Mom, I heard something else and I wanted to ask you."
"what is the matter?"
Yue Qing thought for a while, "Well, there is an altar in the villa, did you know?"
"Of course I know. I heard that is where the spirit girls take the test. Mom has heard of it, but I've never been there."
"Not that, there is an altar."
"One more place?"
"Well, have you heard of it?"
The lady shook her head, "I've never heard of it. What happened to the altar?"
Yue Qing smiled and said, "Nothing much, I just heard that the altar is quite mysterious. I'm a little curious about what's inside."
"There are many mysterious places in the villa. Although my mother has never heard of any other altars, she has heard that there are forbidden areas in the villa. People are not allowed to enter those places casually. Don't always be curious about everything. Be careful of the elders. angry."
Yue Qing made a face, "Okay, I understand, mother, don't talk about me, talk about you, why are you sick?"
"Mom, this is an old problem."
"Where did this old problem come from? Why didn't I feel it before I left?"
"It wasn't so heavy then."
"Humph, it must be something wrong with my father that made you angry."
"You're just talking nonsense again. Is there ever a time when a daughter would put her father's fault out of the way? You can't do that again."
"Why can't you say it's wrong? Mother, I have stayed in the villa for so long. I still understand some things about our villa, but I have never taken in such a concubine like my father. It was okay at first, there were only two, It's better now. With five concubines, plus you, he has six women. Aren't you angry?"
The lady frowned, "How do you know so much at such a young age?"
"Mom, don't think of me as a child. I understand everything now. If you are wronged in the palace, then I will take you away. We will not stay in the palace anymore."
"If mother has not been wronged, I will not go anywhere."
"Why, mother, why can you tolerate my father having so many aunts? If you want heirs, my father already has one."
"Yu Qing, don't ask these questions. You are still young. What do you do for your mother? Most men in Li country are like this. Your mother's son is not very well, and your father always needs someone to take care of him in the room."
"Don't you have two aunts?"
"Okay, you're just a kid, what do you do with adults' business?"
Yue Qing sighed, "Huh, mother is too kind. If I see someone making you unhappy, I will definitely deal with them."
The lady said angrily, "You kid, they are all elders, how can you talk like this?"
"Okay, mother, don't be angry. Don't worry, my daughter is also a reasonable person."
The madam looked at her angrily, "I'm not a big person, but I have a lot of ideas. Speaking of which, mother would also like to ask you, since you are the master of the courtyard, are there people in your room?"
Yueqing looked at her face and asked tentatively: "Mom, if there is someone in my room, would you be happy or unhappy?"
The lady was funny: "How to ask like that?"
"My daughter is afraid that you will worry."
"As a woman of the Chang family, offspring are the most important thing. Since you are a spirit girl, offspring are even more important. Of course my mother understands this truth. But your father may not think so."
"Then what does your father want me to do?"
"He probably hopes that you will find a good family in Li country and marry him."
"Mother, do you think the Villa will agree?"
The lady lowered her head, crying and laughing: "Of course I won't agree."
Yue Qing sighed: "Mother, don't worry about what he thinks. I just want to know what mother thinks. Do you want me to be in Li Country or do you want me to return to the Villa?"
The madam was stunned for a while, "Mother hopes that you will return to the villa, and you will leave in a few days."
Yue Qing smiled: "I just came back, mother, just let me go."
The madam was a little disappointed, "Mother doesn't want you to leave, but she also doesn't want to make things difficult for you. As a spirit girl, the safest place for you is the Villa. Mother has nothing else to ask for, I just hope that you can be healthy and safe. of growing up.”
