General’s Tempest White Moonlight (Rebirth) - Chapter 71
When Liu Mingyue returned to the mansion, Steward Liu was instructing his servants to take off the red lanterns in front of the door.
The emperor died, and the whole country was mourned.
For such major events, it’s not enough for Liu Mingyue to go back and change into plain clothes. From top to bottom at home, from the master to the maid’s housekeeper, even the elderly woman in the kitchen, everyone has to wear their gorgeous colors. Changed.
At this moment, Chengde Hou’s Mansion didn’t know how many eyes were staring at him, and he couldn’t make any mistakes.
“You go in, I have to go.”
Pei Shen sent Liu Mingyue out of the carriage and watched her and Hanshuang Chunying walk into the Chengde Hou Mansion before turning around and walking outside. This time, instead of riding in a carriage, he took a horse again and rode to the Zhennan General’s Mansion.
Liu Mingyue had already walked into the courtyard, heard the neighing of horses, and glanced back.
But only saw a figure driving away, and it was too far away in the blink of an eye.
When Pei Shen left, he didn’t come back for several days.
Liu Mingyue did not return to the new mansion at all, and continued to live in the Chengde Hou Mansion.
But she has not been idle these days.
Because of the national funeral, every family stopped entertainment activities. The third wife used to love playing leaf cards and going out to the theater, but now she can’t play or watch, so she can only find other things to do.
She used to be the most kind girl when she was not married. Now the third girl has made a kiss with her natal nephew, so she called the third girl, stayed in the room, and personally instructed her to make some personal clothes and socks.
The third wife wanted to ask the fifth girl and the sixth girl to follow along, but the two clever ghosts could sit still, embroidering a few stitches indiscriminately and ran away.
They used to be accompanied by the grandmother to play with them. Now because of the national funeral, the subordinates have been beaten one by one. Naturally, they dare not take the two little ancestors to play. I went to find the big sister Liu Mingyue.
Liu Mingyue watched Gu Jue and the fifth prince for a year. Although the two children were smart and obedient, it was not a time when they were naughty. So she coped with Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu with ease.
“I just bought some books a few days ago. My fifth sister will pick out a few and have a look.”
Liu Mingyue held a stack of books and put it in front of Fifth Girl. There were biographical travel notes and storybooks in it. Anything Fifth Girl liked, he could always pick out a few books that he wanted to read.
As for Xiao Liu…
Liu Mingyue thought for a while, found a square table, spread the rice paper that he bought recently, and put Xiaoliu on the chair in front of the table.
“Little Liu and Big Sister write together.”
Just as Liu Mingyue was about to study ink, she saw Xiao Liu bulging and shook her head.
“I don’t like it,” she said and sat down on the chair, “Little Liu doesn’t want to write!”
Liu Mingyue didn’t get angry with her either. She just squatted down and asked her gently, “What does Xiaoliu want to do?” Her sixth sister was born in the twelfth lunar month. Although she is also called seven years old now, she actually Calculated according to the actual age, it is worth five and a half years old.
When speaking and doing things, there is always a bit of childishness that can only be found in children.
“Little Liu doesn’t write, Xiao Liu draws!” Seeing the brush on the square table, Miss Liu suddenly lit up, got up, stood on the stool, stretched out her hand to reach the brush.
She is only small and short, and she has grasped the brush in her hand, and even turned the inkstone with her.
“careful.”
Liu Mingyue didn’t feel sorry for the paper and ink. She was afraid that the inkstone was heavy and hit Xiao Liu’s hand, blocking her for a while, but was stained by the ink on her sleeve.
“Oh, big sister, your clothes!”
Seeing Liu Mingyue’s dirty sleeves, Miss Wu hurriedly jumped off the soft couch, put down the book in her hand, went forward to catch Xiao Liu, and seated her on a chair.
Ben was still preparing to make a violent sentence on Xiao Liu, even slap her on the ass, but Liu Mingyue waved her hand, “It’s okay, don’t blame Xiao Liu, I’ll just change my clothes.”
She did not worry about changing clothes. When she was choosing ready-made clothes at the ready-to-wear store that day, Liu Mingyue thought that the emperor’s body might not last long, so when she chose, besides choosing the clothes she likes, she also picked a few relatively simple ones. of.
I just didn’t expect it to come in handy so quickly.
Although the ready-to-wear shop did not dare to open a shop on the face of it, the orders placed by some of the previous customers had already been reorganized by the tailor ladies and quietly sent to the houses of the nobles.
Even if it is a national funeral, they do not dare to be lazy if they are doing business.
Liu Mingyue had soiled her sleeves at the moment. It was not very convenient to find new clothes in this dress. She was worried that the clean clothes in the cabinet would be soiled when she was rummaging, so she took off her coat first and threw it aside. Chair.
Now it’s May, and the weather is gradually getting hotter.
She took off her coat, and only a yellow belly with buds remained inside. But fortunately, she was the only one in the house with her fifth sister and Xiao Liu, so Liu Mingyue took off like this and didn’t feel uncomfortable. She went to the closet and searched for a new set of simpler clothes.
Only she found out, closed the cabinet, and heard a “creak”, the sound of the door being pushed open.
Liu Mingyue thought it was Hanshuang, and just wanted to tell her to take out her clothes stained with ink and wash her. She didn’t want to turn around and met Pei Shen, who had just stepped on the threshold, and then the two of them together. Frozen in place.
“I… go out now.”
Pei Shen moved his lips, stretched out his hand to close the door again, retracted the foot that had already stepped in, and retreated.
But he just backed out and closed the door.
Liu Mingyue looked at the figure faintly imprinted outside the door, feeling complicated. I don’t know if I should be grateful that I held the clothes in my hands to my chest and blocked it by a few points, or if I was depressed, even if it could block some, it was just a little bit, and it was almost the same as unblocking.
She shook her clothes indiscriminately and put them on, because she was upset, at this moment Liu Mingyue even tied the buttons up and down in the wrong position.
It happened that she hadn’t noticed it herself, it was discovered by the five girls.
“Big sister, why did you even tie the buttons wrong.” The fifth girl held the booklet in front of her face, showing only a pair of bright black eyes, and slyly smiled.
She smiled so obviously that Liu Mingyue couldn’t care about re-fastening the buttons, and threw herself directly on the soft couch, pressing her under her body, and scratching the flesh of her waist. It caused her to kick her shoes and roll on the soft couch, giggling itchy.
Xiao Liu didn’t understand anything. He opened his eyes wide to see the two sisters arguing, and then grabbed the pen and smeared two similar figures on the paper.
Because of the embarrassment that occurred when changing clothes, Liu Mingyue saw Pei Shen again today, always a little uncomfortable.
The old lady is almost recovered now. Seeing that Pei Shen came back after so long, she told the kitchen to put a lot of dishes in her yard, and called Liu Mingyue and Pei Shen to accompany her with dinner.
Nowadays, during the national funeral, there is no big fish and meat. Today, the kitchen replaces the meat dishes with river prawns, coupled with a few exquisite vegetarian dishes, and there is a small round table full of them.
“Ruyi, get an empty plate over, peel off the shell of the shrimp, put the shrimp in the plate, and bring it to Jiaojiao later.” The old lady stretched out her hand to greet Ruyi. Liu Mingyue was brought up by her since she was a child. She is closest to and knows her most among several granddaughters.
This girl likes to eat shrimps, but never peels one. Fortunately, with their identities, they are served by servants during meals without having to do it themselves.
“Pei Shen, you just came back from the palace, did you see the noble concubine? How is her state these days?”
Now that the fifth prince has ascended the throne, Concubine Liu Gui has naturally also been promoted to the next level. After the old lady cared about her granddaughter, she naturally cared about her only daughter.
Pei Shen’s eyes were originally on the clean and tender shrimps that Ruyi peeled off, and he didn’t know what he was thinking. Suddenly, the old lady asked, raised her eyebrows, and said: “Don’t worry, everything is fine for the noble concubine. Now the queen and the queen dare not trouble her.”
Yun Fei didn’t want to be reintroduced back into the palace wall. There was no queen mother in the palace. As the head of the toffee, the noble concubine naturally had a happy life.
Although the Fifth Prince had made his emperor grandmother the Queen Mother, when he was in Kunning Palace, he had witnessed her wanting to give Liu Mingyue to the burial of Prince Rong, so he couldn’t get close to her at all.
On the contrary, she often thinks about the friendship with Liu Mingyue and Jue, and treats the noble concubine with great respect.
Liu Mingyue has slept alone in recent days.
Today Pei Shen came back from the palace, and suddenly there was another person beside the bed, and she suddenly became a little uncomfortable.
And as long as you close your eyes, things of the day will appear in front of you, and you can’t sleep over and over again.
After turning for a long time, Liu Mingyue finally got a little annoyed, turned around, stretched his hand through the bed, pinched the flesh on Pei Shen’s arm, and asked him in a low voice: “What did you see during the day?”
Pei Shen didn’t sleep either.
At this moment, Liu Mingyue grabbed him to ask this question, opened her eyes, her lips moved slightly, and finally said a lie: “I didn’t see anything.”
