Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Master, Wulijigege is heading towards this...
Not long after Lin Changqing left, Su Peisheng came again with something in his hands. After Baozhu and the others warmly welcomed him, they stood below and winked at each other, thinking that their worries in the morning were completely unnecessary.
As expected, Fu Jin is worthy of being Fu Jin, she is smart and generous.
Su Peisheng was not stupid. Although he did not know what Lin Changqing had said to his master, based on their performance and Yinzhen's final instructions, combined with his daily experience of palace fighting, he had guessed most of it, so his words sounded particularly beautiful.
"Replying to the Madam, since Wuli Jigege presented the fragrant dew and the address of Huaao this morning, which was a great service, although it was originally intended as a token of gratitude, the Master believes that meritorious service must be rewarded, so I have drafted this reward list. However, the Master feels that Wuli Jigege is a female relative after all, so it is best to bestow this reward in the Madam's name."
After saying this, Su Peisheng smiled in a nonsensical way: "I'm not afraid of your Madam's blame, but it's true that no one around the master is attentive enough. I just prepared this reward list according to the old rules, and I don't know if it's appropriate. I hope your Madam will give me your opinion."
After he finished speaking, everyone in the room, including Qi Buchen, rolled their eyes inwardly. Come on, isn't there anyone around Yinzhen who's thoughtful and considerate? Just you, Su Peisheng, and Lin Changqing, have more cunning thoughts than all the servants in the Fourth Prince's mansion combined.
"Eunuch Su is being modest. Everyone knows that the Eunuch Su beside my master is the most thoughtful and considerate." Qi Buchen teased lightly, and said nothing more. "I know about the reward. I was the one who benefited from it, so I should be the one to express my gratitude."
After saying that, he gestured to Baozhu to take the bill.
Su Peisheng handed the list to Baozhu and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Madam. Besides, the master has also instructed that since you haven't been out for a while, he is worried that you might be bored. So, please go out for a walk with me after lunch."
As soon as he said this, Baozhu and others showed irrepressible joy on their faces, looking at Qi Buchen with anticipation. It looked like if they were not concerned about the hierarchy, they would have been eager to agree to it on her behalf at the first opportunity.
Although he didn't feel the need to go out, but thinking about the various little thoughts and commotions of his subordinates in the past few days, Qi Buchen still agreed: "I understand. After lunch, I will take a short nap, and I will send someone to let you know when I wake up."
Having successfully completed his task, Su Peisheng was in a good mood. He said with a smile, "Then I will not bother you any more. I will take my leave."
After instructing Baozhu to send the people out, Qi Buchen sent for Nanny Yue: "Nanny, please take a look at this list and make some adjustments. Then send it to Wuli Jigege and express my gratitude to her for me."
Nanny Yue had already learned about Wuliji's situation from Baozhu and the others. Unlike the other girls, she did not lose her composure. This time, she calmly took on the task: "I understand, Madam, don't worry."
This gift will definitely reflect the wife's generosity and grace!
Qi Buchen didn't care after giving the instructions. After being here for more than a year, the best thing she learned was to know people and assign them to the right positions.
After lunch, she took a nap for quarter of an hour as was her custom, and was then woken up by Baozhu.
Several maids were obviously overly excited. Fuyun and Songying took out several sets of clothes. Although they were all riding clothes with little difference in style, the colors were so colorful, tender and bright.
"These are all made by me recently. Do you like them, Madam?" Fuyun asked expectantly, blinking her eyes.
Although she knew her current body was only eleven years old, which was the perfect age for these colors, Qi Buchen, who was already older in her mind, still found them eye-catching. Honestly, even as a teenager in her previous life, she rarely wore such bright colors; she had always preferred black, white, and gray.
But seeing the little girl's joyful face, she didn't want to hurt her feelings. After all, she had worked so hard all night to make this. In the end, she could only choose the more refreshing light green color: "Let's go with this set."
Fuyun was a little dissatisfied. In fact, she wanted Fu Jin to wear the bright red dress the most, so that some people with bad intentions could see the majesty of being the main wife.
But since Fu Jin had chosen, she couldn't object.
Forget it, light green is fine too. Fu Jin is young and this color is just right for her. It also makes some people have some self-awareness and not look at how old they are.
In fact, Wuliji, who is only one year older than Yinzhen and only fifteen this year: "..."
Soon, Qi Buchen packed up and led his men out of the camp. Yinzhen was waiting for her at the old place.
"Have you been waiting long?" Qi Buchen greeted Yinzhen with a smile.
Yinzhen frowned slightly at the sight of his wife, dressed in a vibrant green, feeling a pang of self-blame. He felt he had been too petty earlier, forgetting how young she was and actually getting so angry. Looking at her, she looked like she was only eight or nine.
He was still a child, entering the palace alone, unfamiliar with everyone, so how could he ignore her? The young concubine must have been terrified recently, and now she had to force herself to act like nothing was wrong.
Thinking of this, he felt a surge of pity, and his voice became subconsciously soft. "No, I just arrived too." Then he changed the subject, "You must be bored these past few days. Where do you want to go? Take a walk."
Qi Buchen tilted his head slightly to glance at him, feeling that his voice was a little strange today. "It's not that boring, though. There are people visiting every day, and chatting with them about life on the grassland is quite interesting."
After explaining it a bit, Qi Buchen continued with a smile, "It doesn't matter where we go. The scenery here is mostly the same anyway, so just wander around."
As he was about to mount his horse, he said, "Today, I'll do whatever you say. Wherever you say, we'll go."
Unexpectedly, Yinzhen felt even more pity for her after hearing her words. This was unlike Fu Jin's personality. She used to be so opinionated that she dared to interfere with his food right after entering the palace. She even lost her temper with him a while ago over that matter. Now she said she would do whatever he wanted. It was obvious that his recent neglect had hurt Fu Jin's feelings.
The more Yinzhen thought about it, the more he felt guilty. His wife treated him so sincerely, yet he repaid her like this. This was really not what a real man should do.
Qi Buchen mounted his horse and turned around to see Yinzhen still standing there in a daze. "What's wrong?"
"Ah?" Yinzhen came back to his senses. He couldn't say what he was thinking about, so he said, "Nothing. I was just thinking about where to go."
Qi Buchen thought so. It was indeed difficult to make any choices on this vast grassland. It would be unfair to blame others for his own indecisiveness. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Didn't you say you found a flower valley? Why not go there and take a look?"
Lin Changqing, who was accompanying him, felt a pang in his heart when he heard the words. Was Fu Jin going to settle the score later?
Yinzhen, still immersed in his own thoughts, didn't react. What was wrong with coming to this place? He just agreed to Fu Jin's words out of habit: "Okay, but it's a bit far." He glanced at the people Fu Jin brought with him, "If you can't ride a horse, don't follow."
Yinzhen also mounted his horse and pulled the reins, saying, "Let's go, it's in the southeast direction."
Qi Buchen had no idea which directions were which in this place with no reference points. He just followed Yinzhen and turned his horse's head. He hadn't ridden a horse for a few days, so he was not used to it at first and couldn't speed up.
"What's wrong?" Yinzhen ran beside her calmly, feeling a little strange. "Are you feeling unwell?"
"No." Qi Buchen smiled carefreely, "It's just that I haven't ridden a horse for a few days, so I'm a little rusty." After all, he is a beginner.
Yinzhen nodded when he heard this. This was a normal phenomenon. There was no need to worry too much about it. He just had to adapt to it.
Sure enough, after jogging for a while, Qi Buchen gradually regained his feeling, cracked the whip, and accelerated his sprint. This feeling of running at lightning speed is actually quite addictive.
Yinzhen caught up with her speed almost in real time. He turned his head to look at Fu Jin's increasingly cheerful expression, and he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and feel happy.
As they were running, they saw a group of people gradually approaching from a distance. Judging from the direction they were heading, it was clear that they were their target.
The guard who had been on guard at the periphery noticed the group and ran a few steps towards them. After seeing who they were, he came back and replied to the eunuch in the inner circle.
The eunuch rode closer and reported to Yinzhen, "Master, Wuli Jigege is coming this way."
