Zhong Li bit her red lips nervously, the man's slightly calloused hand held the back of her head, and her cool lips pressed against her teeth, coaxing her to open her mouth.

When she was smugly kissed, she only felt a chill on her body, and her clothes had slipped off her shoulders. Zhong Li's palms were hot, and her heartbeat was so fast that it almost jumped out of her chest.

The next morning, when Zhong Li woke up, her cheeks were still a little hot, and she felt tired again after a long absence.

Aoba ran for a few days before finding a suitable shop on Yongan Street. On the same day, Zhongli asked Qiuyue to leave the palace. She was also very satisfied with the shop. She and Aoba came forward and bought the shop. down.

Qiuyue also officially left the palace. As soon as she left, Zhong Li was not used to it. For the next few days, her mood was a little low. When calling the name of the palace maid, she would always call Qiuyue subconsciously.

In the evening, seeing that she was still unable to adjust, Pei Xing said: "Since you can't bear it, why not keep her by your side? If you lack someone to manage the shop, I'll help you find one."

Zhong Li shook her head and said, "I can't keep her in the palace because I can't bear it. She should pursue the life she wants."

Qiuyue is different from Xia He. Xia He has a temperament of taking things with you. She is idle and calm. When she rests on weekdays, she stays in the house to do needlework, read books, and seldom go out. Qiuyue is different. She likes to travel south and north. Like myself, yearning for freedom.

Pei Xing didn't persuade her any more. Fortunately, she was accompanied by Cheng'er, Rui'er and others. After a few days, she gradually got used to the days when Qiuyue was not around.

After Qiuyue left, Zhong Li promoted Shuanghua and Chuxue. These two palace maids also went to the Cold Palace with Zhong Li at the beginning. They were not only loyal, but also smart and smart. When Qiuyue was there before, they served in Kunning Palace. Zhong Li used it with ease.

In February, the weather gradually warmed up, the willow trees also sprouted green shoots, and the clothes on everyone's body became thinner day by day.

On February 15th, Li Mingqian made an appointment with her cousin to go shopping together. In a few days, it was Mother An's birthday. Before she could decide what gift to give her, she called her cousin and wanted her to help her. own staff.

Li Mingqian's cousin's name is Li Mingxin. She is only fourteen years old this year. The two had an appointment to meet at Ruyizhai. When Li Mingqian came over, Li Mingxin had already arrived. The little girl said a goose-yellow dress. When she saw her cousin, her eyes were filled with tears. Laughing and waving his hand vigorously, "Sister, here."

Li Mingqian walked over with a smile, "Why are you here so early?"

Li Mingxin laughed, "It's rare to have an excuse to leave the house, of course I have to come out earlier, don't you know, I'm being held in the house by my mother every day, and I'm so annoying, thanks to my cousin who invited me, my mother let me go Come out, I'm going shopping with my cousin today, she wants to invite me to a restaurant for dinner, let's go back later."

Li Mingqian naturally responded readily, and after the two walked around for a long time, Li Mingqian finally bought a gift that he liked.

The two girls had average physical strength and were already a little tired at the moment. Li Mingqian took her to the restaurant and planned to have a big meal. Unexpectedly, when entering the restaurant, Li Mingqian heard a young man and said with a smile: "Have you heard? Miss Iris was redeemed yesterday."

"Why haven't I heard of such a beautiful woman, if the ransom wasn't too high, I would also want to hide her in a golden house. I don't know which young master is lucky enough to hold the beauty back."

The young man who spoke first lowered his voice slightly, "I heard that a servant helped to redeem it, and it is said that this price was paid."

He said with a gesture.

Li Mingqian didn't look carefully at how much money it was. When she heard the word "internal servant", she was stunned and stopped.

Li Mingxin took two steps forward, only to realize that she was standing there stupidly. Li Mingxin pulled her, "Sister?"

Li Mingqian shuddered, and then recovered. She has a deep memory of Iris. At this moment, seeing her being redeemed by an eunuch, Li Mingqian felt a little uneasy in her heart, and immediately thought of Pei Xing, so that she had a tasteless meal.

Li Mingxin only felt that she was weird, and she even waved her hand in front of her, "Why does my sister look like she lost her soul?"

Li Mingqian smiled and perfunctory, and after the meal was over and separated from her cousin, she said to Xiaodie, her personal maid, "Go and find out about the redemption of Iris, be sure to inquire clearly and see who redeemed it. leave her."

In order to inquire about news on weekdays, it is usually enough to put in a few pieces of silver. Afraid that Xiaodie would not be able to find out, Li Mingqian specially gave her one hundred taels of silver notes, "If the people below don't want to disclose it, you can go directly to the madam, and be sure to ask."

When Li Mingqian returned to the mansion, she was still a little restless. After nearly an hour, Xiaodie came back.

Xiaodie was dejected and a little ashamed. She handed the silver note to Li Mingqian and whispered, "Master, the slaves and servants couldn't find out. The turtle masters have seen it, but they only said that he was a servant, and he looked very imposing. I don't know who is the servant next to me."

"According to what you said, the servant took the one hundred taels of silver and found the old maid. The old maid's mouth was very strict. Looking at the hundred taels, his eyelids didn't move, and he sent the servant away and warned the servant, If you don’t want to lose your head, don’t ask if you shouldn’t ask.”

When she said this, Li Mingqian's heart sank even more. She didn't even earn any money. How could her identity be so simple that she could make the madam so taboo? Could she really be the emperor?

Li Mingqian couldn't sit still.

The Empress had just worked so hard to give birth to a little prince, how long has it been before he is going to hide in a golden house?A woman in the land of hooks, is it worth him thinking about for so long?Is it really like what others say, a man can't forget his first woman at all?

The more Li Mingqian thought about it, the more uneasy she became. Although a dusty woman would not pose a threat to the Empress, who knows if she was touched by others while she was in the brothel, and was she clean?I heard that there are many women who get sick in such places.

Li Mingqian couldn't help shivering, the more she thought about it, the more frightening she felt.She thought about it, she couldn't ignore it, she simply handed Zhong Li a greeting card.
