Chapter 130 - Mind
Zi Yuan came in from outside and whispered a few sentences into Qin Luofei's ears. Qin Luofei's expression slightly changed, nodded, and indicated for Zi Yuan to withdraw.
Qin Luofei got up from the bed of bed, waiting for her to put them on.
Because today, she accompanied Consort Shu out, and especially chose a dress that could be worn by the common folk.
Dressed in a dark green plum blossom dress train, its hair was gently tied up with a pink ribbon. The hairpin was lightly pulled up and the thin tassels drooped down.
The best material was as thin as a cicada's wing. As he walked, he drew a gentle arc in the air, resembling a plum flower that had just bloomed.
She wore a pure colored ribbon around her waist, making her seem extremely thin and fragile.
Her delicate face that was the size of a palm and skin that could be broken by the wind added a bit of beauty to her face. She looked much better than before, as if she was slowly opening her eyes, and also had some of the unparalleled beauty of a woman.
"Miss, are we really going back to the manor?" It had been two years since Daihua and Miss had entered the palace. She hadn't seen her parents, so she didn't think about it as a lie.
Qin Luofei nodded and said, "Naturally, it's to go back to the manor to take a look. "However, I'm afraid that I can't spread the news freely. I'm afraid that I can only sneak back."
Daisies nodded.
Just as he was speaking, Consort Shu's personal palace maid came over to urge him to hurry up.
Qin Luofei pouted in dissatisfaction, and said with hatred: "This Consort Shu, no matter what she does, she's always so impatient. Have I still not eaten?"
When the palace maids by the side of the Consort Shu saw that their mistress and Concubine Qin were getting better, they smiled and said, "Just now, the Empress said that the concubine could not help but complain. She has already prepared some pastries in the carriage."
"Your concubine knows what I'm thinking. Forget it, spare her." Feverfew, let's go! Zi Yuan will stay and watch the house. "
Zi Yuan was not originally a member of the Qin Manor, so there was no need for him to follow her back to the Qin Manor.
Walking out of the entrance of the palace, he saw a small palanquin waiting there. There were four young eunuchs standing by the side.
The four young eunuchs paid their respects first, and then the daisy lifted the curtain. Qin Luofei did as she was told.
This could be considered her third time out of the palace. The first time was when she went to the temple with the Consort Shu and Queen to enjoy the fragrance. The second time was when he returned to the Lin Family. Unfortunately, something bad had happened, but fortunately, Ling Jian had saved him at that time, so nothing had happened.
However, he didn't know if he would be safe from leaving the palace this time.
The sedan chair left the corridor and headed west. It passed through the side door of the imperial garden and arrived at the west gate of the palace.
Consort Shu was waiting there with two palace maids, and when they saw Qin Luofei's palanquin come over, they helped it into the carriage.
Qin Luofei alighted from the palanquin and was helped up the carriage by Sunflower. She and Consort Shu made the same car again.
Qin Luofei did not get on the carriage. She looked around and saw that other than her own personal palace maid, Sunflower, and the two servants from Consort Shu, there was also a young eunuch driving the carriage. There was no one else present.
He looked at the carriage he had made. Although the curtains were luxurious, it was only a carriage belonging to a noble family, not a carriage exclusive to the Imperial Palace.
Seeing that Qin Luofei was looking around curiously, the Consort Shu burst out laughing: "Little sister, what are you looking at? "Are you afraid that big sister will sell you out?"
"I'm not sure." Qin Luofei touched her neck and shrunk back to the side of the Consort Shu. Seeing that there were indeed many exquisite snacks prepared on the table, she took them and started eating without a care in the world.
"Could it be that little sister is afraid that I will sell you out and not be afraid of me poisoning you?"
Consort Shu covered her mouth and laughed like a fox.
Qin Luofei comfortably laid down on the thick cushion, lazily saying, "I believe Big Sister is not that stupid. What do you think?"
"At least you're smart. Sooner or later, you will know that I, your elder sister, am the one you can trust the most. "
Consort Shu also picked up a piece of pomegranate cake with a smile on her face, putting it into her mouth and chewing on it a little.
Qin Luofei pursed her lips helplessly. Every time he was faced with a disaster, he would not see her reaching out to help him. Whenever he had nothing to do, she would raise her head up to his lips every day.
Qin Luofei was also too lazy to bother with her.
Consort Shu was dressed differently from usual today.
She wore light smoke-colored clothes, a purple pomegranate chrysanthemum colored skirt, white clothes, and a cloak made of fine, light green silk. The corner of the cloak was embroidered with light, elegant white plum blossoms.
On her fair cheeks, there was a plum blossom design stuck to the center of her brows. Her hair was combed back, as well as a few extremely beautiful hairpins. The hairpins were all waterproof in color, and the gemstones on them were sparkling and translucent.
If they were a commoner, their clothes would be fine, but these hairpins were eye-catching.
"I heard that yesterday, the Emperor stayed at his sister's palace." Consort Shu's jade-like face revealed a smile, the smile causing Qin Luofei's face to turn slightly cold.
"That's right!" "Could it be that big sister is jealous?" Qin Luofei saw that she couldn't avoid it, so she admitted it generously.
Consort Shu snorted with laughter and said, "No wonder my sister's expression today was so bad, as if she wanted to eat someone. Presumably, the emperor doesn't really know how to serve his little sister, causing my little sister to be this angry."
"You … "You bad scoundrel, you dare to laugh at me. See how I'll treat you." Qin Luofei stretched out her hand to scratch Consort Shu's waist, but was dodged by him.
Consort Shu sat up straight and smiled: "I never thought that Your Majesty would love my sister so much. It is truly unexpected. However, no matter what decision little sister makes, big sister will support you. "
Qin Luofei was also unwilling to speak the truth with the Consort Shu, so she only moved her lips without saying a word. After a while, he said, "Elder sister's cooking skills are really good. It seems that I have to diligently walk around with elder sister from now on."
"It's better if you don't, in case the Imperial Consort Leng gets angry, Big Sis will be the sinner." When Consort Shu said these words, her beautiful eyes were slightly raised, her teeth were like a gourd, and her limpid eyes were like water. No one dared to look straight at her.
Qin Luofei was often together with the Consort Shu, but she was still bewitched by her beauty.
"Big sister, you're joking. Imperial Consort Leng only has the late emperor in her heart, unlike you and me, who roamed with the wind, and have no temper. "
Consort Shu smiled and did not say a word.
"Empress Dowager, your condition is better now." As he spoke of the Empress Dowager, a cold intent emerged in Qin Luofei's heart.
Don't look at how the current Empress Dowager looked like he was compassionate. In the past, when she was the Queen, the previous Emperor's son was very weak. His methods were much more astute than the empress dowager's, and it was not something Du Qingcheng could compare to.
The Han Family's woman had controlled the harem for hundreds of years, and it wasn't something that a casual woman could do.
"Still like that?" When Consort Shu talked about the empress dowager, her face turned ugly.
Seeing the Consort Shu's appearance, Qin Luofei was too lazy to say anymore.
The carriage continued on its way out of the palace, heading for South Street. It was not the busiest place in the capital.
People came and went, and shops were everywhere.
Qin Luofei lifted a corner of the curtain and looked outside.
The adults and children on the streets were all carrying things in their hands. Some of them were even holding freshly baked sweet potatoes, eating in a sweet and sweet manner.
This was the life of an ordinary commoner. Although it was hard, there was no needless conflict.
Qin Luofei saw the Qi Yi Pavilion that made the beautiful embroidery, and her mind raced. But then she thought about it, Consort Shu was too intelligent, and couldn't help but see through it. She didn't dare to move recklessly.
Qin Luofei closed the curtain, but heard from the Consort Shu, "I heard that the South Street side of the Qi Yi Pavilion, which was used to make the rich and embroidered cloth, is especially complete.
Little Sister, why don't we go down and take a look! "
Qin Luofei's heart stirred as she faintly nodded.
The young eunuch stopped the carriage at a corner and the two of them were helped down by maid.
Because Consort Shu's appearance was too gorgeous, she had already covered it with her veil.
As the two of them entered the shop, they saw that there was indeed a lot of cloth inside. The colors were extremely colorful, and it was even more sumptuous than the ones in the palace.
The shop assistant saw that both of them were dressed extravagantly, so he quickly came over and greeted them, "Ladies, please come in and take a look. We have a few fresh flowers, so our sales are quite good."
The Consort Shu nodded and the two of them walked inside.
Qin Luofei suddenly raised her head, and realized that Mo Ling Jian was actually conversing something with the shopkeeper at the counter. When he saw Qin Luofei, he was startled, but quickly lowered his head, yet his eyes still remained fixed on her body.
Qin Luofei's pupils moved slightly. Mo Ling Jian turned around and pretended not to see it.
"Little sister, these flowers are quite nice. Why don't we buy some and go back?" Consort Shu had not left the palace for a long time. Even in the past, she had grown up in the palace and rarely left the palace.
Qin Luofei also picked a few tricks, and let Xichi pick a few as well, going to the counter to pay the bill.
"Ladies and gentlemen, is there anything else I can help you with?" When Mo Ling Jian walked over, Qin Luofei was secretly shocked. Consort Shu did not know if she knew martial arts, so she thought that there was something wrong with him.
Consort Shu's beautiful eyes swept across Mo Ling Jian and smiled. That pair of watery eyes of her made Mo Ling Jian even more surprised.
He had seen countless beauties, but rarely had he seen such a peerless beauty like the girl in front of him.
Although she was wearing a veil, looking at her lovely body, one could tell that under the veil was definitely a beauty that could topple empires.
A woman who could be together with Qin Luofei, was not like a palace maid, but could she be a concubine?
But to his knowledge, only the Consort Shu and the Imperial Consort Leng had such an appearance.
There was only one possibility for the Imperial Consort Leng to not get along with Qin Luofei, and that was that the woman in front of him was the current Empress of the Consort Shu.
"I never would have thought that there would be such a beautiful man in such a small shop. This has really broadened my horizons." The Consort Shu playfully stretched out a finger and placed it on Mo Ling Jian's body.
Seeing that something was wrong, Qin Luofei immediately stretched out her hand to grab Consort Shu's fingers, laughing as she said, "Big sister, I still want to buy two pieces of cloak material. Why don't you choose between me and big sister?"
Qin Luofei shot a look at Mo Ling Jian and dragged Consort Shu to look at the silk fabric.
Consort Shu turned her head and smiled sweetly, "Wait for me. I'll come find you in a while."
Mo Ling Jian's face stiffened, he could not bear to doubt his previous guess.
The concubine of the emperor can't be this frivolous, right?
"Little sister, I never thought that there would be such a handsome man among the common folk. If I knew this earlier, I wouldn't have married the emperor. Marrying a common man is also a good thing. At the very least, we could be together day and night." Consort Shu's words became more frivolous.
