After saying goodbye to my cousin Shen Furong and coming out of the main hall.
Xia Qinghe took Ziyi for a walk in the back garden.
"Miss, is the person temporarily staying in the Shen Mansion really the Regent?" Zi Yi asked curiously.
"That's right, Xiao is the national surname. Judging from Furong's description of his age and appearance, it must be him."
Zi Yi was puzzled: "How did that girl know that he was in the Shen Mansion?"
"It's a long story."
Xia Qinghe looked at the small pond in the yard with deep eyes.
She knew this because she was reborn.
She was reborn at the age of seventeen, when the nightmare began. This was the third day after her rebirth.
In her previous life, she returned to the capital with great anticipation, but was plotted against by her biological father and stepmother and sent to the bed of the old man, Prince Ning.
Prince Ning was extremely cruel. Not only did he torture her in every way, but he even pressed her down on the bed and suffocated her to death.
Her body ended up being pushed off a cliff.
But when she died, her cousin Shen Furong was carried into the Regent's Palace in great splendor.
Prince Regent Xiao Qingyun is young and promising. He is the only biological brother of the late emperor and the uncle of the current young emperor.
This person is not only powerful, but also of noble status.
The late emperor died young, leaving behind a will for the regent to assist in governing the country.
The prince is only seven years old, and the country is in doubt.
Xiao Qingyun supported the young prince to ascend the throne and quelled the unrest in the court, so now the regent is a powerful figure in the court.
She had also secretly witnessed the regent's elegance, handsome face and upright figure.
He is the object of admiration of countless girls in the capital, and also the perfect match in her heart.
This time she will defy fate and replace her cousin to enter the Regent's Palace!
"girl……"
The voice of the maid Zi Yi brought Xia Qinghe back to reality.
She looked at Zi Yi.
Zi Yi said, “No wonder the young lady begged Madam Shen to return home early, it turns out she had planned this long ago.”
Xia Qinghe couldn't help but curl her lips and smiled sarcastically.
Her aunt is as stupid as her daughter.
She said that she would let her daughter marry into the same merchant family in the future. With the foundation and status of the Shen family, her daughter would naturally be the legitimate wife.
How can merchants be compared with the Regent's Palace?
If she could enter the Regent's Palace, she would be willing to do so even as a concubine.
At this moment, she looked unwilling.
Why?
She learned to read at the age of three, could write poems at the age of seven, and could compose essays at the age of nine. She was truly a genius.
In addition, she inherited the beauty of her beautiful mother and the family background of the Xia family. In which way is she not better than her cousin Shen Furong?
God is so unfair!
"Girl, look!"
Xia Qinghe looked in the direction Zi Yi pointed, and a young man came into her sight.
The man had a handsome face, long eyebrows and eyes like shooting stars.
It was exactly the same as she remembered.
Xia Qinghe looked at the man and felt a myriad of emotions surging in her heart. She was stunned for a moment.
It’s him—Regent Xiao Qingyun!
Xiao Qingyun also looked at her for a long time, so long that Xia Qinghe felt a secret joy in her heart.
She took a deep breath, encouraged herself, and then walked closer to Xiao Qingyun: "Greetings to the young master."
Xiao Qingyun looked at Xia Qinghe deeply and nodded.
Xia Qinghe seemed to be encouraged, and smiled as she said to Xiao Qingyun, "I came to the Shen Mansion with my aunt to visit relatives. I am new here and didn't know my place well, so I offended you, young master. I hope you won't blame me."
Xiao Qingyun still had no expression on his face. He just nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.
Xia Qinghe sighed in her heart, bowed silently and left.
After she left, Xiao Qingyun shouted to a big tree behind her: "Come out, don't hide!"
Lingzhi, who was lying on the tree pretending to be invisible, trembled and realized that he was exposed.
She jumped down from the tree obediently.
I looked up and wow!
Xiao Qingyun was intimidating without even getting angry. Wearing a black silk coat made of smooth fabric, he looked like a giant bat staring at people in the dark night.
"Come here." Xiao Qingyun waved at Lingzhi.
Lingzhi imitated Xia Qinghe's previous behavior, twisting her little butt and taking small steps forward in a pretentious manner, and bowed to Xiao Qingyun: "Greetings to the young master."
Xiao Qingyun looked at her with a playful look in his eyes: "What a parrot imitating the beauty!"
Lingzhi snorted, "Aren't you just trying to say that I'm far inferior to Miss Xia? Indeed, how can I, a lowly servant, compare to a rich lady?"
For some reason, in front of Xiao Qingyun, she never called herself a slave and only said "I".
He didn't care at all, as if it was supposed to be so.
After hearing Lingzhi's words, Xiao Qingyun's eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You are so shameless, invulnerable to swords and guns, how can Miss Xia compare to you?"
Lingzhi said, "Thank you, thank you."
She was still happy in her heart, at least he did not admit to her face that she was inferior to others.
"Have you been worried these past two days? Why do I feel like you've lost some weight?"
The way Xiao Qingyun looked at her was like the way he looked at the chicks in the cage, picking out the fat ones and disliking the skinny ones, just waiting to raise them strong enough to be slaughtered and eaten.
Lingzhi couldn't help but shiver.
I complained in my heart: It’s because you refuse to leave that I worry every day that the young lady will hang herself on this crooked tree of yours again. Otherwise, I have a good life and don’t have any worries.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Xiao Qingyun say again: "To be honest, I live in the capital. Now that my injury has almost healed, it's time for me to go back. I wonder... are you willing to go back to the capital with me to enjoy the good life?"
What?
Lingzhi thought she was hallucinating and blurted out, "You don't want to take my daughter back to Beijing? You want to take me with you?"
