"Xiaohuan, what's wrong? Is someone bullying you?"
Xiaohuan has always been listless these past two days. In half a day today, Li Yi found her in a daze three times. When she was sitting alone at the stone table in the courtyard, Li Yi walked over and sat down opposite her and asked with concern.
"No……"
Xiaohuan shook her head. She couldn't say that it was because the maid named Xiaoqing was too diligent and took away all the work that was supposed to be done by her...
Moreover, my uncle seemed to have some differences towards that young girl.
This was the first time that he allowed other maids to polish ink for him, and it was also the first time that he allowed other maids to rub his shoulders while he was taking a bath... She had done these things before.
Li Yi looked at her and said in disbelief: "Really not?"
The little maid twisted her fingers together, looked at him pitifully, and asked: "Uncle, do you not like Xiao Huan anymore..."
Li Yi didn't know what the little maid was thinking. He was stunned when he heard this, stood up and sat next to her, pinched her face, and asked: "Who said that? Who said that my uncle doesn't like Xiao Huan?"
The little maid said pitifully: "But I no longer need a small ring to polish ink, nor do I need a small ring to take a bath..."
Only then did Li Yi realize that she was actually jealous of Ruo Qing. The identity of Ruo Qing's empress had been exposed. Although Li Xuan did not let those people investigate further, there would still be some trouble if she appeared in Kyoto with her true colors.
That's why she ordered most of the followers of the Holy Sect to leave Kyoto, creating the illusion that the Queen of Heaven had left the capital, and then came back disguised as a maid, without anyone noticing.
Not to mention anything else about the Holy Religion, Li Yi himself was deeply aware of the level of disguise. Even his parents would not be able to recognize him if he put a mask on.
Of course, he couldn't be more familiar with Ruo Qing. This familiarity was not just through facial recognition. He had already recognized her when he saw her on the first day he entered the mansion.
Knowing that she was Ruo Qing, he naturally couldn't treat her like an ordinary maid, so he specially arranged her to be with him and arranged a separate room for her. Unexpectedly, such a "little" difference would lead to Xiao Huan being treated as such.
Found.
Li Yi pulled her over and asked with a smile: "Are you jealous of Xiao Qing?"
The little maid sniffed, "No..."
Li Yi leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words.
Xiaohuan's eyes suddenly widened and he said in disbelief: "How is this possible? How could Xiaoqing be..."
"You forgot, my uncle also has a mask like that..."
Xiaohuan was stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise on his face, and then he became a little embarrassed.
If Xiaoqing was Miss Ruoqing, then it would be nothing - why would it be nothing if she was Miss Ruoqing?
Even she herself couldn't figure it out.
If Xiaohuan doesn't explain it clearly, I don't know where she will go. The huge Li family has many people, and Li Yi didn't even rush to tell Ruyi about this matter. If anything unusual happens, if
Your hard work will be in vain.
…
"Second Madam, what's the matter?"
The new maid of the Li family walked into a certain room, looked at the woman in the room and asked.
Zui Mo looked up at her and said, "There's nothing wrong. I heard that Xiao Qing is good at sharpening ink. I was about to write a few words, so I wanted your help."
Xiaoqing walked to the desk and said with a smile: "This is what I should do."
There were more than just the two of them in the room. While she was sharpening the ink, Xiaozhu was sitting on the other side of the desk with her chin in one hand, muttering: "Where did Sister Ruoqing go?"
Xiaocui shouted from the side: "Sister Ruoqing must think you are too annoying and don't want you anymore..."
"Can you say that again……"
"Tell me again, you are just annoying..."
The two little maids quickly started fighting. Zui Mo ignored them, looked at Xiao Qing who was polishing his ink, and asked, "Where is Xiao Qing from?"
"I grew up in Kyoto since I was a child."
Ruoqing shook her head and said: "Xiaoqing is very similar to a good friend of mine, but she grew up in Qing'an Mansion and only came to Kyoto two years ago..."
Xiaoqing smiled and said nothing.
Zui Mo asked again: "Who else is at home?"
Xiaoqing replied: "I am the only one left."
The two of them were chatting about daily life like this. After a while, Xiaoqing put down the ink stick and said: "Second Madam, the ink is polished. If there is nothing else, I will go down first."
Zui Mo crossed his arms, looked at her, and asked, "How long will you continue to pretend?"
Xiao Qing looked surprised and asked: "Second Madam, what are you talking about?"
Zui Mo suddenly hugged her, put his hands on her chest, and said, "It feels like this, do you still want to pretend?"
Ruo Qing's face turned red and she said hurriedly: "Zui Mo, what are you doing? Why don't you let go..."
At this moment, her voice had changed a lot from just now.
"You won't call me Second Madam anymore?" Zui Mo looked at her with a proud look on his face and said, "Xiao Cui, close the door!"
After hearing the young lady's instructions, Xiao Cui immediately ran over and closed the door.
Ruo Qing finally became panicked and said hurriedly: "Zui Mo, what are you going to do? Don't do anything random!"
Zui Mo looked at her, snorted and said, "You dare to lie to me, of course you have to take care of me!"
Hearing the word "family law", Ruoqing's face turned even redder. She looked at Xiaozhu and said anxiously: "Yuzhu, why don't you come and help me..."
Xiaozhu rolled up her sleeves and ran over, asking excitedly: "Sister Zui Mo, how do you want me to help you?"
…
Ever since Li Duan could walk safely, he fell in love with walking, and Ruyi no longer had to look at him all the time.
Now that the Lantern Festival is approaching, for the Li family, the most important day of this month is not the Lantern Festival, but the happy event of welcoming Zui Mo into the house at the end of the month.
Ruyi handed over a booklet and said, "This is the guest list written by the old lady. Let me see if anyone has been missed. It's time for someone to write invitations."
"The old lady is familiar with this kind of thing, so she shouldn't miss anyone." Li Yi looked at it and put it aside.
Ruyi looked at him and asked: "If Miss Qing leaves, will your husband really not look for her?"
Li Yi was actually about to tell her about this matter, but he didn't expect Ruyi to speak first and said with some embarrassment: "I don't know something, actually... Xiaoqing is Miss Ruoqing."
Unlike Li Yi's imagination, Ruyi's face did not show much surprise.
She looked at Li Yi, smiled and said, "I thought my husband would keep this matter a secret for a few more days."
Li Yi was surprised and said: "Does the lady already know?"
"In addition to appearance, there are many ways to identify a person, such as body shape, behavior, breath..." Ruyi looked at him and said, "Recognizing people by appearance is the lowest method."
Li Yi explained: "Ruo Qing's identity is special. If people know about it, there will be some trouble."
"I'm not blaming my husband, I know these things." Ruyi leaned on his shoulder and asked softly: "I just don't know, how many good sisters do I have?"
Li Yi was surprised and said, "Don't you, Madam, only have one sister, Ruyi? Counting Xiaohuan, there are only two..."
Ruyi shook her head and said: "In addition to Ruyi and Xiaohuan, there are also sisters Zui Mo, sister Ruoqing, sister Mingzhu, and whether there is sister Lin from Qi State, we have to see our husband..."
Li Yi had a cold war. He thought spring was coming, but now he felt that the weather was getting colder and colder recently.
The weather is getting colder, keep warm and prevent colds...
