Chapter 12 Broken Plans

Li Qing sighed and suddenly felt relaxed. King Ping wanted to do big things, so he would not take her little medical skills seriously. Lian Qing also showed relaxation, looked at Li Qing's complexion carefully, and said with a smile:

"Miss looks pretty good. She hasn't been sick for a while, right?"

"Uncle Qing, those problems have been cured two years ago. Why do you keep remembering them?!"

"After all, my foundation is weak, and I have a lot of things this year. The lady is too smart and can easily think too much and hurt her body."

Li Qing laughed,

"Uncle Qing is too much thinking. I'm stupid. I don't want to think so much. I'm too smart and don't live long!"

"The master said that the lady is a person protected by the Medicine King Bodhisattva, and no matter how smart she is, she will be fine."

Li Qing was stunned,

"Uncle Qing has asked the old monk?"

"oh……"

Lian Qing nodded awkwardly.

"When a lady was so smart that it was scary, so I went to ask the master."

"What else does the master say?"

Li Qing stared at Lian Qing and asked:

"The master asked for a signature in front of the Bodhisattva's seat, and the signature said that the lady was a person from his previous life and later life, and had a fate with the Medicine King Bodhisattva. The master said that this signature was the second time in hundreds of years, and the first time it was Master Mulian raised it. The master had instructed that this matter, except for the lady asking, you can't mention a word from anyone."

Lian Qing said in a low voice, Li Qing stared at him in amazement. At that time, he was careful that he could not be careful anymore, but he still saw something strange. If it weren't for that signature, would she have been burned to death as a monster?! Li Qing only felt a chill on his back, slowly rolled his eyes, and said with a dry smile:

"The old monk is talking nonsense about the eight ways to deceive you! Buddhism talks about reincarnation. Since reincarnation is naturally everyone has their past lives and future lives. What is fate? When the disease is cured, it is fate with the Medicine King Bodhisattva, and when the disease dies, it is fate with the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!"

"Miss! Don't talk nonsense!"

Lian Qing hurriedly stopped him, and Li Qing felt a stern, if there was such a strange sign... She suddenly felt chill in her heart, and she really didn't dare to continue talking.

After a moment of silence, Li Qing took a breath and solemnly explained:

"Uncle Qing, forget him about this matter! I forgot it all!"

Lian Qing nodded,

"Don't worry, Miss."

"Is it all right to get rid of the family?"

Lian Qing nodded, Li Qing sighed, everything he should have arranged, and the matters in Han were considered to be settled. Just wait for the news with peace of mind.

Back at the Xieyue Pavilion, wiped his body with water, changed his clothes, and Li Qing fell on the couch and fell asleep.

A few days later, Brother Shanhu accompanied his mother to Li's mansion to ask for the second party manager, and wanted to redeem his daughter and go back. The man in charge found Madam Wen. Madam Wen went in for a moment and came out and sent the two to Li's mansion.

Madam Zhong from Li's Mansion returned to her wife and now received 150 taels of silver, and took the person out and handed it over to her mother and brother.

A few days later, Madam Zhong went to the Xieyue Pavilion and passed on the words of her wife: Tingxue is old and has no suitable servant now. She gave her grace and took her to leave the family and let her get married on her own. Madam Zhong was in the inner room and left everyone behind. She kowtowed to Li Qing three times before taking Tingxue out.

There was only Qiuyue left in the bare yard of Xieyue Pavilion, Liuli and Mama Zheng. Li Qing still sat under the window every day and slowly wrote the scriptures. Her books had long been torn clean by Li Minhua.

One afternoon, Liuli hurried in and said with a smile:

"Girl, I'm in the big kitchen today. I heard from Mrs. Zhao at the second door that after breakfast today, an official media came to propose marriage!"

Li Qing put down the pen in his hand, sighed a long sigh, and his face relaxed. Madam Zheng clasped her hands and recited the Buddha's words. Qiu Yue's eyes were a little wet. She wiped her eyes with the handkerchief in her hand and said with a smile:

"I'm finally here! The girl has lost weight these gods!"

Looking back at Liuli, he asked anxiously:

"I heard that which family came to propose marriage?"

Liuli shook her head, Li Qing stood up with a smile and said:

"Every family is the same. Liuli still has to go to the big kitchen to help in the middle of a while. Qiuyue took out some silver notes of five or ten taels, and you three put a few in your purse. You should not be stingy when you should be generous. Now, there is too little news about us. Madam Zheng has quietly looked for Madam Zhong these two days to see if she can find out what she can do."

Two days later, Liuli went to the big kitchen to return the food box, and came back and reported to Li Qing:

"Madam Zhong went to the big kitchen and said that she would check the night tonight, and we should check this place too. Let's wait until the night to close the door."

Li Qing frowned slightly.

In the evening, it was not until the end of Xu that Madam Zhong and several mothers found out about the Xieyue Pavilion. Madam Zheng and Qiuyue were at the door of the main room. Madam Zhong heard that Li Qing had already fallen asleep, so she turned around and ordered the mother who followed her to say:

"You guys are waiting here, I'll go and invite a lady to the lady."

The whole woman agreed, Madam Zhong turned around and entered the inner room, Li Qing sat on the bed wearing clothes and said with a smile:

"Thank you for your hard work, but Qing'er is disrespectful."

Madam Zhong hurriedly stepped forward to give a gift, but there was no smile on her face. Li Qing was slightly surprised and waved her hand to signal Liuli to retreat. Madam Zhong sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Li Qing, and said softly:

"Miss, this morning, I heard from the master and his wife that I would report to the lady to run for the female official, and said that the Ministry of Rites came to pick up the person the day after tomorrow."

Li Qing stared at Madam Zhong in a daze. Seeing that she was just dazed, Madam Zhong sighed and stood up to go out. Li Qing grabbed her and asked in a dry voice:

"Which official media?"

"It's the third son of the Wang family in Huaiyang."

"Madam didn't agree?"

Madam Zhong looked at her with some pity.

"Madam, Miss Second Miss."

Li Qing let go of his hand in surprise, and Madam Zhong turned around and walked away quickly.

Madam Zheng and Qiuyue, Liuli sent Madam Zhong and his group out, closed the courtyard gate, and entered the inner room. Li Qing was already dressed up and was standing in front of the window and looking out blankly. Madam Zheng hurried forward,

"girl?"

Li Qing turned around with some difficulty, pulled the corner of his mouth, and said as if he was crying and laughing:

"Madam, they're going to send me to be a female official."

Madam Zheng was stunned for a moment, Qiuyue asked:

"Mum, what is a female official?"

Madam Zheng swallowed and explained with some difficulty:

"The court chose girls over 14 years old and under 20 years old from the third rank of officials, and gave them to adult princes, King Han Diping, King Di'an of Jin and King Xi Difu. They said they were female officials, but in fact they were concubines and maids. The last time they chose female officials was twenty years ago. Why did they suddenly choose female officials this year?"

Yes, why did he suddenly choose a female official? Li Qing thought in a daze, Han Di, that King Ping must be because of him. The court wanted to appease him and give him kindness. It was the only way to give a woman! She saved him, but he hurt her! Li Qing leaned his head against the window frame and said with a wry smile:

"Mum, I'm going to do it all. After all, human calculations are not as good as God's calculations. I've counted myself."

Madam Zheng hugged her in her arms, patted her gently, and comforted her with a warm and anxious voice:

"Girl, if you think it's easier, there will always be a way."

Li Qing leaned silently in Mama Zheng's arms for a while, raised her head, looked at Qiuyue and Liuli who were wiping their tears while staying aside, said:

"You guys go down and rest first."

As he said that, he earned it from Mama Zheng's arms,

"Madam, go and rest too, I want to be alone."

"girl!"

Madam Zheng looked at her worriedly, but Qiuyue and Liuli didn't move either, but only looked at her. She lowered her head to sort out her mind, raised her head, and smiled calmly:

"You guys go down and rest. It's okay. Let me be quiet. I have to think about it."

Madam Zheng hesitated for a moment, Qiuyue pulled Madam Zheng's sleeve.

"I'm in the warm room outside, listening carefully to the movement."

Madam Zheng nodded and the three of them gently retreated.

Li Qing walked back to the window, leaned her head against the window frame, and looked at the cold and bright moonlight outside the window, and felt cold. Her careful plan was wiped out by the words of others! Half a year ago, Li Yunsheng's return to Beijing destroyed her wish to marry a good man to live a stable and happy life. Now, sending her to be a female official has shattered her arrangement of living a quiet life. It cannot always be like this! She must not be a maid and concubine, and she will hand over everything in her life to others. Think about it carefully, and think about it carefully...

Li Qing lowered his head and leaned against the window frame. Qiuyue stood quietly at the door of the warm pavilion, looking at her silhouette-like side under the moonlight, her long and dense eyelashes flashed slightly, casting a shadow to cover her eyes. Her skin was as white as if it was a little transparent, her figure was thin and weak, and her long, thick and black hair drooped to her waist. The moonlight flowed between her hair with a slight shaking. Her girl was the smartest person in the world and would definitely come up with a solution.

Li Qing raised his head and looked at the bright and cold moon. Did Mu Lian go back? Is the cold moon shining like this in that world now? She lowered her head and murmured:

"I don't know what year it will be tonight?"

The thick shadow at the corner outside the window swayed rapidly for a few times, and the shadow seemed to fade a lot.
