Chapter 101 Returning to the Mansion (1)

The next day, at the end of noon, Li Qing's convoy slowly entered the palace. Sun Yi and Ding Yi accompanied him to the second gate. The second gate was full of girls and women who were greeting him. Li Qing held Qiuyue's hand, stepped on the pedal and got out of the car, then got on a two-wheeled car and went straight to Chunxiyuan.

After entering Chunxiyuan, I saw that the whole courtyard was painted freshly. The bright red in the house had been removed. The curtains and curtains were all light yellow, with some bright red in the middle, warm and bright. Li Qing entered the house and slowly looked at the various places. The house was carefully arranged and was always taking good care of it. The fire wall and the kang were burning very well. The room was extremely warm, dry and comfortable. However, the whole house was always filled with a faint alienation.

Madam Zheng checked everywhere, directed the maids to place items, and assigned missions. Qiuyue was busy directing bamboo leaves, bamboo branches and other maids to take out the daily things Li Qing used in the box and put them everywhere. Liuli served Li Qing to sit on the kang on the east wing, and brought a few half-old pillows from outside, and served Li Qing half-lying on the kang, brewed a cup of tea and carried it on a tray. Li Qing took the cup, took a sip of tea and ordered:

"Let Mama Zheng send a proper woman to Chunhuiyuan to see if the old concubine has rested. If anyone asks, she will say that I am back and want to come to pay my respects. She will send someone to report to the prince and say that I am back."

Liuli agreed to go out. Soon, the woman came in and reported:

"Madam, the old concubine has already had a rest. The prince left the city yesterday and has not come back yet."

Li Qing nodded, Zhu Yu led a few mothers in to have lunch, bent her knees and made a blessing, and reported with a smile:

"Madam, it's already late afternoon. I'm afraid my wife will be hungry when she cooks. The kitchen has already prepared lunch. I just looked at it and picked up a few things that my wife likes and took them over. Is it okay for her to put them on?"

Liuli served Li Qing off the kang and sat in front of the table. Li Qing looked at the dishes and rice on the table, and said with a smile:

"This is great. No need to do it anymore. You can pack up and take a rest. Tonight, I will have dinner at Chunhuiyuan."

"Yes, I just saw rice soaked in the kitchen. Tonight, I will make walnut cheese as the method my wife said last time, and make late-night snacks for her."

Li Qing nodded with a hurry with a smile.

After lunch, Qiuyue had already taken the room with her men. Liuli called hot water and waited for Li Qing to take a shower. After sleeping for more than an hour, she got up to wash up. She changed into a small silk jacket with white background, a bright yellow golden cloud satin skirt, carefully tied her hair, and inserted a red gold-carrying pearl-carrying step, preparing to go to Chunhuiyuan to pay homage.

The white fox came with a golden silk and brocade woven white silk cloak. Li Qing was about to go out when Zhuzhi came in to report:

"Madam, Aunt Gu and Aunt Zhang are here to pay tribute to you, and they are waiting in the yard now."

Li Qing was stunned, frowned and ordered:

"Let them go back, don't come here to pay your respects today."

Zhuzhi agreed to go out, Liuli served Li Qing and put on a cloak. Li Qing turned around and looked at Madam Zheng, lowered her head and thought for a while, walked to Madam Zheng, and explained in a low voice:

"Madam, we have to live in this yard for a month or two, so Madam has to worry about the people inside and outside the yard. Don't use any people in the inner courtyard. People from the outer courtyard are not summoned and are not allowed to step into the inner courtyard for half a step. After setting rules, they can't speak in their own words and not speak in their own words."

Madam Zheng nodded solemnly,

"Don't worry, madam, I thought of it too. This is another time between the years and the years, but it's not careless."

Li Qing nodded, Xiao Ju lifted the curtain, Li Qing took Liuli and Zhuye out of the main house door, Aunt Gu and Aunt Zhang were walking out of the yard, and seeing Li Qing come out, he stood aside, Aunt Gu smiled, lowered his eyebrows, lowered his eyes and bent his knees slightly, and Aunt Zhang looked directly at Li Qing with a confident smile on his lips. Li Qing nodded slightly to Aunt Gu with her smile, as if she didn't see Aunt Zhang, and she took Liuli and Bamboo Branches and went straight out of the yard and headed to Chunhui Courtyard.

Liuli followed Li Qing and said hatefully:

"This Aunt Zhang is too much!"

Li Qing stopped, turned to look at Liuli, with a calm and distant face on her face, and said in a light voice:

"She was too much because she relied on something. The right and wrong in this inner courtyard came one after another, but because men's favor, dislike, likes and dislikes changed."

Liuli frowned and thought for a moment, then leaned over to Li Qing, and said in a low voice:

"Madam, I didn't go back to the mansion last night. Why don't I go and inquire where I spent the night the night before yesterday."

"Inquiry about what this is done? Make yourself up?"

Li Qing walked forward slowly, said with a chuckle, paused, turned his head and looked at Liuli, and said with a smile in his eyes:

"For someone... jealous, your wife can't let go of her posture and do such things. You should also pay attention to your identity and not be underestimated by others."

Liuli smiled and pulled the bamboo branches and sighed:

"I told you that the wife's behavior is unique in this world, so you believe it."

The bamboo branch smiled and nodded,

"Anyway, the lady treats us alone."

Li Qing smiled and tightened his cloak and headed towards Chunhuiyuan.

The old lady Wen took Li Qing's hand and sat on the kang, asking questions carefully. Li Qing smiled gently and talked about gossip with the old lady Wen. Soon, the old lady came in to report:

"Old ancestors, madams, young masters and ladies come to pay their respects."

The old concubine Wen quickly stood up and said with a smile:

"Let them in."

Lin Hongmin walked in with a light red dress and smiled and shouted:

"Old ancestor!"

He bent his knees slightly and threw himself into the arms of the old concubine Wen. The old concubine Wen stroked her head and face, and smiled and said angrily:

"Min'er, your mother is back. If you don't hurry up and pay your mother a favor, you will know that you're going to make trouble for your grandmother."

Lin Hongmin turned his head and stared at Li Qing disdainfully. Li Qing looked at Lin Hongxu and Lin Hongqiang who were paying respects with gentle eyes. Both of them were wearing big red kesi arrow sleeves and steadily invited Mr. Wen to the old concubine. Turning his head and looking at Li Qing curiously. The nanny behind hurriedly reminded:

"Please pay my respects to my mother."

Lin Hongxu and Lin Hongqiang knelt down again, and asked An in a slight voice:

"Please my mother."

Li Qing stood up, pulled up with one hand, and said with a smile:

"As I grow much taller, is it cold on the road?"

Lin Hongqiang shook his head, Lin Hongxu raised his head, held Li Qing's hand, looked at Li Qing and said:

"It's not cold, I want to go out and play. Mama doesn't let me go, mother, tell them, let me go out and play."

"What does Brother Xu want to play?"

Seeing that Li Qing didn't seem to see her, Lin Hongmin's face turned red and rose. Old Concubine Wen gently pushed her. Lin Hongmin stood up with a daze, bent her knees and said quickly:

"Please my mother."

Li Qing turned his head, smiled gently, and then turned around and continued to speak patiently with Lin Hongqiang and Lin Hongxu.

The wet nurse came in to greet her with Lin Hongzhi in her arms. Li Qing signaled the wet nurse to approach her and looked at Lin Hongzhi who was still coughing constantly. She was almost three years old and thin as if she was only one year old. Li Qing stretched out her hand, gently stroked Lin Hongzhi's hair, and asked with a smile:

"Can Hongzhe walk by himself?"

"No! She doesn't walk! Mother, mother, I can walk one year old, I can, she won't!"

Lin Hongxu pulled Li Qing's sleeve, raised his head and shouted. Li Qing squatted down, touched Lin Hongxu's head, and said with a smile:

"You are so awesome, then you have to teach your sister."

Lin Hongxu nodded heavily, Lin Hongqiang squeezed over and pulled Li Qing's other sleeve.

"Mother, mother, and me, I will, and I will teach you."

Li Qing turned his head and pinched Lin Hongqiang's fleshy cheeks with a smile.

"Okay, let's teach my sister to walk together, okay?"

The wet nurse explained in a little confusion:

"Madam, the third lady has been sick all the time, I am..."

Li Qing raised his hand to stop her, stood up, looked at Lin Hongzhi with a smile and said:

"Hongzhe, let my mother hug you, okay?"

Lin Hongzhe coughed gently, looked at Li Qing hesitantly, then looked down at Lin Hongxu and Lin Hongqiang who were pulling Li Qing's sleeves, raised their faces to look at her. Li Qing gently took Lin Hongzhe and hugged her in his arms. The child wrapped in silk and satin was as light as a leaf. Li Qing felt moved and pity in his heart. Lin Hongzhe turned to look at the wet nurse, Li Qing gently stroked her back and comforted her with a smile:

"Hong-san, are we going to play with my brother, okay?"

Lin Hongzi lowered her head and looked at Lin Hongqiang and Lin Hongxu with bright eyes. Li Qing hugged Lin Hongzi, turned her head to look at Old Concubine Wen, and said with a smile:

"Hongjian and Hongxiu have not come here yet?"

"Hongjian started to learn kung fu with his master, saying that he was in seclusion and Hongxiu was sick. Otherwise, it would be lively!"

Old Concubine Wen hugged Lin Hongmin and said with a smile. Li Qing nodded with a smile, hugged Lin Hongqian and sat on the kang. Lin Hongqiang and Lin Hongxu also crawled onto the kang. The woman followed quickly took off her shoes for the two of them and carried them onto the kang. The two children surrounded Li Qing and made faces at Lin Hongqian. Li Qing lowered her head and hugged Lin Hongqian, and said with a smile:

"My sister is a little girl, she is timid. You two are brothers. You must coax your sister to play, so you can't scare her sister!"

Lin Hongqiang and Lin Hongxu nodded quickly. The woman next to him handed over a few puppets. They took the puppets, held them in their hands and shook their heads, teasing Lin Hongzi. Li Qing hugged the thin redzi in his arms, coughing through the clothes and coughed straight into Li Qing's heart. Li Qing sighed secretly, took out his hand, took a pill the size of a white lotus seed from it, and sent it to Lin Hongzi's mouth, lowered his head to coax her:

"Does Hongzhai like to eat candy? Try this candy and see if it tastes good."
