On this day, Duan Ruhao went to Zhao Lingyue's yard with a happy face after going to court, "Madam, madam, good thing."

Zhao Lingyue was lying on the recliner, with four maids waiting beside her. Two were beating their shoulders, and two were beating their legs. It felt very comfortable. When he heard Duan Ruhao's voice, he stood up quickly and waved. The maids each stepped back and stood respectfully.

"Master, what good thing makes you so happy?"

Duan Ruhao looked at the four maids behind him and said, "Stand back."

"Yes, sir." The four maids bowed respectfully and left.

"What's the matter, sir? Is it so secretive?" Zhao Lingyue went to the table to pour a cup of tea as he spoke, "Here, sir, moisten your throat." "Yes."

Duan Ruhao took a sip of tea and then said slowly, "This is not a confidential matter. After the court today, the emperor said that after the New Year, he would not get together with the ministers very much, and there would be a banquet in five days.

, so that everyone can get close to each other.”

"Banquet? This is nothing special. The Emperor doesn't do much. The Queen Mother and the Empress often hold flower-viewing parties and tea-tasting parties."

"Hahaha, madam, you really love to joke, so how can it be the same? Moreover, this time the emperor also specially said that all the legitimate daughters and concubines in the palace can be brought to see the world. Everything is free, and all the princes will come when the time comes.

"

"Really? Then this is a good opportunity." "Well, you tell Li'er and Ya'er to prepare well."

"Of course, based on the talents and beauty of my two daughters, few people in Ancheng can match them."

"I don't worry about Li'er and Ya'er. They're just that rebellious girl. You should discipline her and don't embarrass her. We usually don't bring her to banquets. Since the emperor mentioned it this time, we'll bring her along.

.”

"Yes, sir, I will ask a nanny to come over and discipline her properly."

After Duan Ruhao finished speaking, he left. Zhao Lingyue also hurriedly went to Lige and Yage. Both of them were the legitimate daughters of the house and had their own attic. Duan Qingqian was a concubine and could only live there.

My aunt's yard.

When Zhao Lingyue arrived at Li Ge, Duan Qingli was painting her nails there, "Mom, why are you here?" "Li'er, you are painting your nails?" Duan Qingli hummed and continued her work, "Okay, okay, my house

"Li'er is becoming more and more beautiful." "Mother." Duan Qingli just finished applying it at this time, stood up, hugged Zhao Lingyue and acted coquettishly.

Zhao Lingyue stroked Duan Qingli's arm with her hand and smiled kindly, "You kid, why are you still so dependent on your mother? Your father just said that there will be a palace banquet in five days, and he allows ministers to bring their children there. This palace banquet is very important, and maybe there will be a palace banquet."

The emperor fell in love with you and chose you directly when he chose his concubine. Dress up well and tell me if you need anything." "Really? That's great. I just fell in love with a piece of fabric yesterday when I left the palace. The price is

It’s too expensive to decide on. I’m thinking that the emperor will start choosing his concubine in a month, and we’ll see if there’s anything good later. In that case, I’ll decide on the fabric later.” “Okay, mother, wait a minute.”

I'll get the money for you soon. You can see if there's anything else you need to buy. Buy them all together. Mom, go over and tell Ya'er." "Okay, thank you, Mom."

Duan Qingli walked back and forth excitedly, "Lan'er, do you think this jewelry is good? Should I buy it again? And this hairpin? And this bracelet?"

"Miss, since Madam said you should dress up well, why don't you choose them all again. If there are good ones, use that good ones. If you don't choose from here, after all, I have brought these with me once or twice before. It won't be long before the emperor wants to ask for them.

Choosing a concubine, maybe there are newer styles now?"

"Yes, Lan'er, you are right. Let's pack up and leave the house quickly."

"Yes, miss."

Accord.

"Ya'er, what are you busy with?"

"Mom, you're here, what's the matter?"

Duan Qingya is writing at this time. She is just like her name, gentle and elegant, and every move is elegant. Zhao Lingyue is actually closer to Duan Qingli in her heart. Duan Qingli will occasionally act coquettishly with her and make mistakes. She is simpler than Duan Qingya.

Some times, Zhao Lingyue felt that she couldn't see through Duan Qingya. She was mostly obedient and well-behaved, but when she thought she was well-behaved, she would be a little willful. She would often play with her calligraphy and paintings, which she always felt were somewhat elegant.

, she is a bit out of place as a mother, unlike her Lil'er, who usually practices her singing and dancing the most.

Zhao Lingyue threw those thoughts away, "Your father just said that the emperor will hold a palace banquet in five days and asked all the ministers to bring their children in. Everyone is so lively and lively."

"Really? Did the Emperor go?"

Duan Qingya was standing gracefully just now, but now she completely lost her power. She walked up to Zhao Lingyue and looked at her mother and asked, "Mother, can I attend this time?"

"Well, yes, the emperor is hosting it this time. Not only will the emperor be there, but other princes will also be here."

"That's great." "Hurry up and pack up. Tell your mother what you need. Normally, Aunt Cui's daughter always gives up your place. She doesn't marry even though she's an older girl. She doesn't feel ashamed either, but she has wronged you.

You won’t blame your mother, will you?”

"Mom, Ya'er knows this, so you can't blame mom."

"Okay, my Ya'er is the most sensible, so you can take care of yourself and go shopping with your second sister."

"Yes, mother."

Compared to Duan Qingli and Duan Qingya's excitement and surprise, Duan Qingqian had no idea that she was still working on embroidery.

At this time, an old woman came outside the door. She was the only one in the whole house who often ran here. "Miss, how are you doing with my embroidery and fabrics? I will take them to Boss Cheng tomorrow."

"

Duan Qingqian kept moving her hands, lowered her head and said, "Mom Liu, you also know that I have to go out on a blind date in the next month or two, and I am a bit late. It will take another half a month."

Ma Liu's tone was a little fierce but not vicious, just a little anxious, "My eldest lady, you have to hurry up. I promised to give it to you early in the morning the day after tomorrow. I usually give you plenty of time, so you can

I still have time to write and draw, so you have to help me no matter what this time."

Mother Liu stepped forward and looked at the embroidery and fabrics that had not yet been embroidered. She frowned and said, "There are still more. Let's do this. I will work with you tonight. You should be faster. Boss Cheng said there will be one in five days."

He needs to use these embroideries and fabrics for the palace banquet." "I know." Duan Qingqian was still unhurried.

Mother Liu looked on anxiously, "Miss, can you hurry up?"

At this time, there was a maid outside calling Ma Liu, and Ma Liu responded in a long voice.

"Miss, there's something going on in the kitchen again. You hurry up and embroider. I found some scraps for you and put them in the kitchen. You hurry up and eat them. After you finish, help me embroider. I beg you."

After finishing speaking, Mother Liu walked out the door, "Hey, here it comes, why are you urging me?" "Mama Liu, you are the only one who keeps running to this useless concubine's yard now. I don't know what you are trying to do.

They are all current people, why don't you please the second lady, third lady and other legitimate daughters." "Hey, after all, she is the eldest lady in the house, she looks very pitiful." "You are the only one who is so kind." "I am like this.

Don't you think that there is no one to take care of the children in my family? You should stop teasing me." "Okay, let's go quickly, the madam is urging me." "Okay."

Liu Ma's voice became more and more distant. Duan Qingqian was embroidering the embroidery in her hands while recalling the past. At that time, she was only 10 years old. One night, a servant walked drunkenly and walked into her yard.

And he touched her room. Although she was young, her more than 20 years of experience in her previous life made her not let down her guard even in the three years since she came to this world. When she heard the sound, she got up immediately. She wanted to run to the side and stand.

She waited until he left before coming out. After all, as a child at that time, her body was weak and she had not been specially trained. But she didn't expect that she would be seen by the servant when she got up. He sped up a few steps and suddenly

Stepping over to her bed, she was small and could easily escape, but because of the huge difference in physical strength and his so-called kung fu in this world, he forced her into a blind corner every minute. She also deliberately bumped and bumped when she walked, causing

When the news came, she didn't have much hope, because no one lived near her yard, and none of the servants lived here. Just when she was about to risk her life, there was a movement outside.

The servant immediately stopped when he heard the sound, and wanted to step forward and hold Duan Qingqian. Duan Qingqian was not good at anything else, and her body was quite agile. The servant wanted to leave, but saw Duan Qingqian right in front of him.

Unable to catch her, she was anxious. She didn't care that someone outside was about to come in. She just wanted to catch her. Duan Qingqian deliberately dragged him. No matter who was coming from outside, there would be more chances of someone coming, regardless of his purpose.

Is it good or bad? The person outside the door is Liu Ma. She usually helps the fabric shop to make some embroidery to help support the family. She has no time during the day and only has some time at night. Who can get up in the servants' room?

It was not good to see the people coming and going, so she chose Cuiyuan, which was a little more remote, but she didn't expect to hear the sound. Although she was a little scared, she couldn't resist her curiosity, because Duan Qingqian was the only one in Cuiyuan.

Where I live, it's usually quiet on weekdays. There was such a big movement tonight, so I couldn't help my curiosity and went to see it.

Mother Liu carried a lantern and went to Duan Qingqian's room. Duan Qingqian had planned it. As soon as the person at the door opened the door, she would lead the servant to the door to see if the person recognized the servant.

Then she took the opportunity to hide. As soon as Liu Ma opened the door, she saw the servant in front of her. She was startled and shouted, "Ah." But her mouth was immediately covered. Liu Ma struggled, but just now

In an instant, Ma Liu saw clearly who it was and guessed what he wanted to do. She stepped on the servant's feet hard, and the servant let go of Ma Liu in pain. Ma Liu quickly backed away, but she also retreated into the house, "

You, Wang San, it’s you, why did you come to the eldest lady’s room?”

"Mama Liu? I advise you not to mind your own business. You'd better pretend you didn't see anything, otherwise..." As he said this, he wanted to go forward and catch Ma Liu. Ma Liu had never seen such a scene before, and she only

He was able to hide with all his strength, and he was still shouting to try to call more people over, "Wang San, are you immoral? The eldest lady is still a child, how can you be so cruel?" "Shut up, what a big deal."

Miss, she is just an unloved concubine, her mother is just a little more noble than us servants, and after all, she is just a servant who waits for others."

"You..., Wang San, you will be punished for doing this."

Wang San grinned wickedly, "Retribution, what kind of retribution, I don't believe it, Mother Liu, as long as you act like you haven't seen anything and walk out of here obediently, this money will be yours. I really did it today, uncle."

I just want to have a taste of this official lady."

Wang San weighed the money in his hand, which was at least ten taels. He won the money in gambling today. He was happy and drank some wine. In the middle of the night, he felt lonely and unbearable. Suddenly he thought of Duan Qingqian and came over while he was drunk.

Liu's mother stared at the silver in Wang San's hand and swallowed. Although she wanted the silver very much, she still had some conscience, and Duan Qingqian was still a child. Her motherly love overflowed, "I Liu

Mom is a conscientious person." Wang San said anxiously, "Okay, if you don't drink the toast, you'll have to drink the wine as a penalty."

After Wang San said this, he came up fiercely and rushed towards Liu Ma. Liu Ma was caught by him unprepared, and the two of them got entangled together. Although Liu Ma was a woman, she became crazy and wanted to kill her.

The defeat was a tie with Wang San. In the end, Wang San grabbed Liu Ma's hair with his hand and knocked Liu Ma's head to the side. It hit the corner of the table and her forehead started to bleed instantly. Wang San also

Scared.

Duan Qingqian saw that it was about the same, so she took the worn-out umbrella in the corner and hit Wang San's calf with all her strength. Wang San immediately fell to his knees. Duan Qingqian continued to hit him, using up every blow.

With great strength and precise acupoint manipulation, Wang San screamed in pain and woke up from his drunkenness, and rolled out of Cuiyuan.

Liu's mother was holding her forehead, screaming in pain, and she was also scared, fearing that her life would be lost if she died. Duan Qingqian took some ointment from the side and gave it to her. Liu's mother looked at Duan Qing doubtfully.

Qian said, "This is what Aunt Cui left behind. It can still be used. I'll help you apply it."
