The Protagonist’s Halo - Chapter 121

After Qi Lingyan returned to Fuhuayuan a few days ago, she stayed in the house and never went out. Even three meals were prepared by the small kitchen in the yard. She knew that she was not suitable to go out to dazzle at the moment, so as not to disturb the joyous atmosphere of Fuzhong Princess’s return.

The princess may not care, but Wei Guohou will definitely be upset. Although the princess mansion is the master of the eldest princess, it is impossible for the eldest princess to hurt her relationship with Princess Hou Ye for her righteous daughter.

She is an orphan, and only the princess’s feelings for her can be counted on. She doesn’t know where else to go after leaving the princess mansion.

Qi Lingyan continued to embroider the hibiscus koi picture, even more attentively than before, although occasionally a bit of bitterness flashed in her heart, if she is the biological daughter of Princess Zhaohua, she would need to work hard to prepare this embroidered picture.

Changing to Princess Pearl, even if nothing is prepared, the princess and Lord Hou will not blame it. But she is different, now the situation is more difficult, and she is not allowed to take the wrong step. The news of the return of the princess will soon spread throughout Beijing. At that time, the value of her patriarchal woman in the eyes of outsiders will only plummet. If she is disgusted again, she is afraid that there will be no way out.

Qi Lingyan even secretly regretted that she did not decide a good marriage when the eldest princess spoiled herself the most. Instead, the eldest princess made repeated selections for her, and it has not been decided yet. She was also beloved by the eldest princess at that time, and everyone was fascinated by the flattery. She really dreamed of flying on a branch to become a phoenix and marrying a happy man.

Now the dream is so lightly broken, the eldest princess’s biological daughter is back, and how can she care for her marriage.

Even if you think about it, I’m afraid you won’t be able to find those high-ranking clans before.

In the midst of such a psychological gap, the maid Lan Xin brought back news that the found Pearl Princess had stayed in the countryside in the past and had not tied his feet.

Qi Lingyan was really shocked. She only had time to meet that day, so she retired in a daze, only remembering that the princess’s appearance was indeed similar to that of the princess, but other places didn’t care much.

“More than that, the princess who just recognized lives in Qingyiyuan, but he doesn’t want to be served by slaves and maidservants. I really don’t even know how to enjoy the blessings.” Maid Lan Xin deliberately ran against the princess. She was not hostile to the princess. Little, everyone in this mansion has been swayed by the wind. In the past few days, the treatment of Fuhuayuan has been reduced a lot, not to mention the neglect, and many people have privately ridiculed and belittled her lady.

Qi Lingyan didn’t know what it was like. She had always tried to read poetry and books, mastered piano, chess, calligraphy and calligraphy. The etiquette and rules of the family’s ladies never made any mistakes. She knew that the eldest princess was extremely satisfied with her, and she also liked social banquets in Beijing Take her with you.

The princess who now recognizes knows nothing, and Jingzhong has never heard of a noble lady who has no feet bound. Maybe the eldest princess will be a little disappointed.

In that case, would the eldest princess think of her?

Qi Lingyan doesn’t ask her position in the heart of the princess to be better than her own princess, but she asks the princess to remember her from time to time and use her. After all, the communication of the princess mansion still needs someone to support the scene, right?

…

The words of Xiao letter that day made Zhao Huaiting feel inexplicably uneasy, but it seemed that it was only a casual mention. After that, there was nothing wrong with him. After his persuasion, it seemed that he would no longer reject the servants and maidservants of Qingyi Court, right. The mother also accepted all the arrangements.

This actually made Zhao Huaiting a little guilty. He was too strange and didn’t understand this little girl who had been separated for more than ten years. Her past life experience, they had never participated as relatives, and the hobbies they generated, he should not rush to attack.

After all, the younger sister is not always raised by her mother, even if she is raised by a kind and generous parent, many etiquette rules, as well as the things they should learn from this background, do not know, everything needs to be taken slowly. Zhao Huaiting believes that when the younger sister Yinghuan adapts to life in Beijing, she will get better.

The only thing he was a little worried about was his mother, Princess Zhaohua, who would want to immediately turn the little girl into the noble lady she hoped, and arouse the little sister’s resentment.

Zhao Huaiting always feels that his sister, who is connected by blood, is not a docile temperament that can be flattened at the mercy of her mercy.

It’s not surprising to think about it. He was trained as a heir to take over the family business at a young age, and he was so bold that he ran out to travel for more than a year, even in the face of his biological parents. , The calm atmosphere is appreciated.

Zhao Huaiting actually doesn’t mind the younger sister. There are more ladies in Beijing who are gentle, frugal and frugal. It doesn’t hurt to have one less. Ying Huangui is the princess, even if he is brave and full of vigor, no one dared to criticize anything in person.

Zhao Huaiting doesn’t live in the Long Princess Mansion. He usually comes to accompany his mother with meals. It’s okay for the younger sister to live in the Long Princess Mansion, but as men, especially when he is still the son of Xiejue, they can’t do that. Wei Guohou Mansion No matter how low-key, you can’t go out to meet people in the limelight of the eldest princess, and you will be easily laughed at.

The Hou Mansion and the Long Princess Mansion were close together, and the mother wouldn’t say anything, but occasionally dismissed them as not caring enough.

When Zhao Huaiting passed the garden and was about to return to the Hou Mansion, he happened to meet Qi Lingyan.

When his mother accepted Qi Lingyan as a righteous daughter, he had already entered the country’s imprisonment for study. Even the second younger brother was sensible and sensible. He knew that Qi Lingyan had no blood relationship with them, but his mother pityed her and wanted to alleviate some of the suffering of child loss. Raised in the house.

If they really changed their surnames into the genealogy, Zhao Huaiting and Zhao Yanqi would still treat Qi Lingyan as their own family members and get close. But she was only liked by her mother, and had nothing to do with Weiguohou’s mansion. Both of them were brought up by their father Wei Guohou, and they rarely went to the inner courtyard of the long princess mansion, let alone any emotions.

“Shizi.” Qi Lingyan saw Zhao Huaiting and took the initiative to bow down and give a salute.

The other party is the son of the eldest princess, the eldest son of the Hou Mansion. She is just a righteous woman, and she should also salute if she is in love with reason. It is precisely because of her always respectful and humble attitude that although Zhao Huaiting is not close to her, she does not feel any disgust. And over the years, my mother has indeed changed a lot because of her company by her side.

He also knew that Qi Lingyan was given a high look outside because of her identity as a patriarchal woman, but it didn’t matter. Zhao Huaiting had similar ideas with his father, but it was a matter of accompanying the assistant dowry.

When I suddenly recognized my younger sister Yinghuan this time,

Zhao Huaiting also thought that the younger sister might feel grudged after hearing about her mother’s adoption of her righteous daughter. When going to Qingyiyuan, in addition to apologizing for his second brother, he also thought about releasing Qi Lingyan. He didn’t want an outsider to hurt the feelings between their relatives.

But the little sister’s open-mindedness and generosity seem to be treated equally.

She doesn’t mind the second brother’s scrutiny and suspicion, and she doesn’t mind that she has had a righteous daughter in her family during her absence for more than ten years, and she has been favored by her mother.

She didn’t seem to care much about the people and affairs of the Hou Mansion or the Long Princess Mansion.

Zhao Huaiting wandered slightly, so that he was quiet for a while, Qi Lingyan hesitated and said, “Is this my son just coming from the princess?”

Qi Lingyan has been in the princess mansion for so long, and she is equivalent to half the master. She also knows the huge princess mansion very well. She also knows that the princess will rest in Qingyi courtyard after returning, presumably the new residence has not been cleaned up. Looking at the direction of Shi Zi’s arrival, Qi Lingyan guessed that she came from Qingyi Courtyard.

Sure enough, she was a close family member. She had been in the princess mansion for so many years, and she hadn’t gotten a few straight eyes from her deceased son. But when the younger sister came back, the elder son rushed over and asked for warmth.

Qi Lingyan felt more uncomfortable.

To Zhao Huaiting, Qi Lingyan didn’t have a lot of thoughts. The two sons were both jewels and jade-like figures, but they were quickly dismissed. Even if she had not changed her surname to Zhao, she still bears the title of a righteous daughter. There must not be a half-point overstep, otherwise it will damage the reputation of the Hou Mansion and the Long Princess Mansion.

Zhao Huaiting hummed softly, without saying much, only looked at the things the maid behind her was holding, “Where are you going?”

Qi Lingyan whispered softly, “The birthday of the eldest princess is coming soon, I have prepared an embroidery picture that has been embroidered in advance, and I am going to give it to the eldest princess.”

“You have your heart.” Zhao Huaiting said indifferently, but what he thought was that the little girl had just returned. I was afraid that I didn’t know about it yet, let alone preparing gifts. Of course, their family members didn’t care about it, and they were afraid that they would be rude to others. . If he prepares one more for the little girl, his gift has already been prepared. Even if he doesn’t remember this kind of thing, his attendants will remind him, but a good gift is not easy to prepare, not to mention the time is so tight.

Thinking of this, Zhao Huaiting had no interest in staying any longer, and left in a hurry.

…

Qi Lingyan came outside the residence of Princess Mansion. Although the princess’s situation was a bit awkward after the return of the princess, she was the most proud person in front of the princess in the past, and she was very good at dealing with others on weekdays. The people in the princess mansion were very lenient. Therefore, the mother who I know on weekdays is about to pass on for her.

However, Qi Lingyan stopped her, and she whispered softly, “Mother, your Royal Highness the eldest princess should still be busy with the princess.”

The mother nodded, “His Royal Highness is buying materials for the princess and making some new clothes.”

Qi Lingyan smiled softly, her face a little sad, “The eldest princess is reunited with the princess mother and daughter, and the love is deep. Ling Yan still doesn’t bother. It is good for the troubled mother to send in the birthday embroidery that Ling Yan prepared for the eldest princess. “

Mother said, “Well, that’s all right.”

After asking the maid to give the embroidered picture to the mother, Qi Lingyan did not stay long, so she went back.

Inside the bead curtain, the princess Zhaohua is enthusiastically choosing the most suitable clothes and materials for her daughter, as well as jewelry and headpieces. The daughter she gave birth to in October has such a good-looking appearance and outstanding temperament, that is, the dress and dress, how can she look like a noble lady in Beijing.

She knew that her daughter had been wronged in those rural places in the past, and it didn’t matter that it wouldn’t be the case in the future.

Princess Zhaohua wouldn’t be inexperienced. In the past, this was the treatment of her righteous daughter Qi Lingyan. In those years, she felt heartbroken when she thought of her daughter kidnapped by the gangsters. If she had brought her daughter by her side, maybe that wouldn’t happen.

Fortunately, there is Lingyan, so she can talk about comfort, make up for one or two, and do her best to be a mother.

At this time, the mother outside came in with a box in her arms. After the maid opened the box, she took out the embroidered and vivid picture of hibiscus koi. Princess Zhaohua liked it when she saw it, and listened to her recount Those words of Qi Lingyan.

The princess Zhaohua couldn’t help but feel reluctant. In the past two days, she found her biological daughter. She was so happy that she ignored Ling Yan. Seeing this embroidered picture that took me so much effort, after all, is the relationship of eleven or twelve years together, it instantly came to my heart.

The eldest princess sighed with pity, “Ling Yan is too sensible.”

It’s no wonder that I didn’t see her to please peace in the past few days. It turned out to be so careful, understanding, and dislike not to disturb her and Mingzhu’s meeting.

However, Mother Wu, who had always spoken to Qi Lingyan on weekdays, spoke at this time, “Your Majesty, don’t blame the slaves for talking too much. Now that the princess is back, you shouldn’t spoil Ms. Lingyan like you did in the past. It’s better to see some of them rarely. Lest it hurt the heart of the princess.”

In the past, I thought that the princess had already been killed. It was the princess no matter how good Qi Lingyan treated Qi Lingyan. The clothes and jewelry were the best. Others wouldn’t say anything, because they would poke the princess’s sore spot.

Now it’s different. If you don’t remind the eldest princess, Qi Lingyan gave birth to something that shouldn’t have thoughts, or caused the princess and the eldest princess to have a share, then it was their sin. After all, Mother Wu was sent by the Queen Mother in the palace to take care of the eldest princess, and she served royal masters such as the Queen Mother and the princess.

The eldest princess frowned upon hearing this, and said disapprovingly, “Mingzhu and Lingyan are both good children, and they will definitely get along well.”

Sister Wu stunned. What is Qi Lingyan? She was lucky to have been loved by the eldest princess for a while, and she was not the decent master of the princess mansion. The princess was of royal blood, and had a title and title. People get along well.

Princess Zhaohua smiled again, “Ling Yan is a gentle and meticulous child. If she is there to take care of her, Mingzhu will be able to integrate into the circle of noble ladies in Beijing as soon as possible.”

Madam Wu is not easy to refute. She is just a slave and cannot really teach her master. That is the following crime. Anyway, if there is something wrong with what the eldest princess did, Lord Hou will promptly persuade her to stop her.

Sister Wu has also become accustomed to seeing more these years.

The eldest princess remembered Qi Lingyan because of this birthday embroidery, and she had the desire to let Mingzhu meet her. She believed that her daughter would definitely like Lingyan as much as she did.

As for what Madam Wu said, the eldest princess does not care. She is not stupid, and she doesn’t know which one is more important. Naturally, Lingyan cannot be compared with her biological daughter Mingzhu, but she has been raised for many years. Gentle and sensible, the eldest princess still hopes that the two will get along well and be sisters.
