Jun Qianche and Mo Qiqi only slept for half an hour, and then the palace people came in to help them bathe and change clothes, have breakfast, and then go to worship their ancestors.
The royal family's ancestor worship is very grand. Since the ancestors of the Huachen Kingdom are being worshiped, the officials will also attend to let the ancestors see the achievements of the current emperor.
The ancestor worship activity lasted from morning to noon. There were many rules and etiquette, but Mo Qiqi didn't dare to say anything, for fear of saying the wrong thing, she kept kneeling down, feeling that her knees were no longer hers.
Fortunately, the ancestor worship activity ended before lunch.
Mo Qiqi rushed back to the palace immediately, had lunch, and then fell asleep. There was a palace banquet in the evening! He had to stay up late, so he didn't go anywhere in the afternoon and just slept in the palace. Before going to bed, he told Ban Xiang that no one was allowed to come in. It’s not easy to be a queen! When it comes to such a special day, I am exhausted. Fortunately, I have good physical strength, otherwise I would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago. When Chen'er grows up and gets married in the future, I must find him a wife who is in good health. Otherwise, I really can’t cope with these tiring rules. It turns out that not only modern women have to socialize, but ancient queens also have to socialize with the emperor on special days. This socialization involves more than just eating and drinking. It takes a long time. My head feels so heavy and my knees hurt.
Banxiang nodded in agreement. But there was doubt in my heart. Although the empress and the emperor came back late last night, it was not too late! As for being so sleepy? Could it be that the emperor was tired after pampering his empress for too long last night
Thinking of this, Banxiang covered her mouth and smiled.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. On this day, the younger generation wants to pay New Year greetings to their elders. The earlier the better.
But because the palace has to worship ancestors, the royal family members have to go to worship their ancestors early in the morning, and then they can go to pay New Year greetings to the elders and say auspicious words, and then the elders will give lucky money to the younger ones.
There are two elders in the palace, the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother.
So on this day, the descendants of the royal family in Kyoto will come to the palace to pay New Year's greetings, and the concubines in the harem will also pay New Year's greetings to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.
It stands to reason that Mo Qiqi is a queen, and she must set an example and go after the ancestor worship. But Mo Qiqi was too sleepy and didn't know the rules, so she lay down in the palace to rest.
Banxiang thought that the empress came back after visiting the palace of the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother, so she did not mention it.
Yang Shihan made it clear to Mo Chengxuan last night about her affairs with the emperor and that they fell in love with each other, so she was in a good mood. After the ancestor worship was over, she went to pay New Year's greetings to the Queen Mother.
After coming out of the Queen Mother's residence, I learned that Mo Qiqi hadn't left yet! She didn't want to ask about Mo Qiqi's affairs, but thinking that she was Mo Chengxuan's sister, if anything happened to her, Mo Chengxuan would be very worried. In order not to worry the man she loved, she decided to pass by Fengyang Palace. Tell Mo Qiqi to prevent the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother from causing trouble to her.
So not long after Mo Qiqi fell asleep, Yang Shihan came.
Seeing this, Banxiang immediately saluted: "See you, Your Majesty."
"Where is your queen? I want to see her." Yang Shihan asked arrogantly.
Banxiang replied respectfully: "Back to the imperial concubine, our empress is a little tired and has gone to bed. The empress has previously ordered that no one is allowed to disturb her rest, so - the imperial concubine, please come back later!" Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, Banxiang thought that Concubine Yang was here to pay her respects to the empress!
Yang Shihan snorted coldly and said: "You think I have nothing to do to see her, don't you? I came here to remind her that today is the beginning of the new year. As a junior, you should go to pay respects to your elders, the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother Shang Zai, all the concubines in each palace have gone to pay their respects to the two elders. She is the only one sleeping in the palace. How unbecoming is this? If you don’t want your master to be scolded, you should let her do what she needs to do quickly. !”
Banxiang looked surprised: "Your Majesty did not go to greet the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. I thought your Majesty came back after greeting you!"
"Hurry up and call someone." Yang Shihan urged, but she didn't leave immediately. She didn't see Mo Qiqi getting up, so she was still a little worried. She wouldn't worry about Mo Qiqi, it was for Mo Chengxuan.
Mo Qiqi was fast asleep at this time, sleeping soundly! Banxiang rushed in, came to the edge of the bed and called her: "Mother, get up, get up quickly."
"Oops! Banxiang, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you! Don't disturb my sleep." Mo Qiqi muttered, turned over and continued to sleep.
Banxiang shook Mo Qiqi's arm vigorously and said, "My queen, get up quickly. I'm going to pay my respects to the Grand Emperor and the Queen Mother."
"Oh! I won't go." Mo Qiqi replied impatiently and continued to sleep.
But Banxiang didn't give up and continued to call: "My queen, you have to go, this is the rule. My queen, get up quickly! Go to sleep after you go! Go to say hello today, and you will get some lucky money."
"I don't want the new year's money, I just want to sleep." Mo Qiqi muttered impatiently.
Yang Shihan didn't see anyone coming out of the outer hall for a long time. Knowing that Banxiang must be unable to scream, she immediately walked towards the inner room.
"Mother, get up, don't sleep."
Sure enough, Banxiang was still shouting from the side, but Mo Qiqi was still sound asleep, with no intention of getting up.
Yang Shihan walked towards the big bed, came to the edge of the bed, and sneered unhappily: "Mo Qiqi, you are a pig! When are you going to sleep now?"
Hearing Yang Shihan's voice, Mo Qiqi, who was half asleep and half awake, was stunned for a moment. She thought she was dreaming and had auditory hallucinations, so she didn't move.
Seeing this, Yang Shihan stepped forward angrily and lifted off Mo Qiqi's quilt: "Get up."
The quilt on her body was lifted, and Yang Shihan's voice was so clear. Mo Qiqi knew that this was not a dream, but real. She turned around and saw Yang Shihan standing in front of her bed, glaring at her angrily.
Mo Qiqi also felt angry in her heart. She was tired and sleepy now, and just wanted to have a good sleep. If she was provoked, what would she do? He was really his nemesis. He sat up unhappily and fired back: "Yang Shihan, you must be sick!"
Yang Shihan raised her eyebrows and said, "That's right, I'm sick, I've been infected with the cold, and I'm not recovered yet!"
"If you are sick, go to your own palace and go crazy. Why are you here with me? I want to sleep, please go out, otherwise don't blame me for being rude. You clearly mean to make me angry on the first day of the new year. "Yes." Mo Qiqi scolded him angrily. She hated it when unscrupulous people came in and disturbed her while she was sleeping.
Seeing this, Banxiang reminded her kindly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I'm not here to make you angry. I'm here to remind you."
Mo Qiqi saw Banxiang speaking for Yang Shihan and said displeasedly: "Banxiang, whose maid are you? How can you speak for her? I told you that no matter who comes, you are not allowed to disturb me. "
Banxiang looked aggrieved and said, "My dear, the matter is urgent."
"What's the emergency? Is Yang Shihan going to return to the West? Even if she is going to return to the West, it has nothing to do with me. There is no need to notify me." Mo Qiqi said angrily.
Yang Shihan's anger rose when she heard what she said, and she retorted: "Mo Qiqi, who do you think is going to return to the west? Don't think that you are the queen, so I won't dare to do anything to you. If you speak so unpleasantly again, Believe it or not, I will give you some medicine and let you return to the west now."
"Okay! If you have the ability, use it! I have to eat what you give me! If you want to poison me, there's no way." Mo Qiqi said disdainfully.
Yang Shihan mocked: "Mo Qiqi, you are really ignorant. Haven't you heard that some poisons don't need to be eaten at all? Just smelling them can kill people."
"Hmph! Stop being alarmist here. Even if there is such a poison, do you dare to use it? If I am poisoned to death, not to mention that the emperor will not let you go, and the people of the Mo family will not let you go. My brother will definitely Aren't you afraid of my brother who wants to settle accounts with you?"
"You-" Yang Shihan was speechless. If it weren't for Mo Chengxuan's face, she wouldn't care so much! She must be poisoned. Even if she doesn't die, it will make her life worse than death. Teach her a lesson.
Seeing this, Banxiang quickly interjected: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please stop arguing. Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here today to remind you that you have to pay your respects to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. This is the rule of the palace. On New Year's Day One day, you must go to pay New Year greetings to your elders, otherwise the elders will be unhappy."
Mo Qiqi glared at Yang Shihan and said coldly: "She is so kind. I think she is clearly here to cause trouble. When can't we go to pay New Year greetings? It's early in the day! Why do we have to go now?"
Banxiang explained: "The earlier the New Year's greetings are, the better. Some concubines get up early in the morning and run away. Madam, you are going to accompany the emperor to worship ancestors today, so you don't need to go to pay New Year's greetings so early, but to worship ancestors After it was over, you must first go to pay New Year greetings to your elders. I thought your Majesty came back after you went there! So I didn’t remind your Majesty. It’s all my fault, I forgot to tell your Majesty this.” I’m too busy with things to do during the New Year. Much, she can't think of everything, and everyone knows this kind of thing, but she didn't expect the master to forget even this matter. It seems that the master has lost his memory and has really forgotten everything.
Yang Shihan said arrogantly: "It's true that your kindness is not rewarded. If I had known it, I wouldn't have come, and you would have been reprimanded by the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager." After saying that, he left arrogantly. She believed that Mo Qiqi would go. Even if she didn't want to go, she would definitely go for the sake of the emperor. Cousin and Mo Qiqi may seem at odds and hostile to outsiders, but in fact she knows that they are very affectionate. This love is already very deep, but they didn't realize it before, but after revealing their feelings, this love will become clearer. It quickly escalates, heats up, and becomes very intense. She puts herself in each other's shoes. Her purpose has been achieved, so she can leave.
After listening to Banxiang's words, Mo Qiqi slumped her shoulders helplessly and said feebly: "Why don't the royal family have so many rules? There are still many more to come! Even wanting to sleep peacefully is a luxury.
Banxiang comforted her with a warm voice: "Empress, please go quickly! Although the Empress Dowager is usually very nice and doesn't ask about the affairs of the harem, she cares about the rules of such an important festival. If the Empress does not go, she will The Empress Dowager will definitely be angry and punish her. I heard that when the late Emperor was still alive, one of the late Emperor's favorite concubines did not go to greet the Empress Dowager because she was not feeling well. As a result, The Empress Dowager was so angry that she banished the concubine to the cold palace. From then on, no concubine dared not to pay her respects on the first day of the new year."
"Ah! It's so serious!" Mo Qiqi was surprised. Didn’t the Queen Mother always pretend to be kind in front of others? There are also times when her true nature is exposed. Something must have touched her sore spot! Beloved concubine? What the Empress Dowager wished most in her life was to be favored by her husband, but the Emperor's grandfather only had his departed wife in his heart and never loved her, so the Empress Dowager must have hated those favored concubines! So when some beloved concubines were a little disrespectful in front of her, she would punish them severely.
She didn't want to say hello at all, she just wanted to have a good sleep, but in order not to embarrass Jun Qianche and add unnecessary trouble to him, she decided to get up.
"Change your clothes!" Mo Qiqi stretched.
Banxiang happily stepped forward to change her master's clothes.
After getting dressed, Mo Qiqi left the palace and went to the palace of the Queen Mother. At this time, important things were being plotted in the palace of the Queen Mother.
Everyone in the palace was evacuated, and there were only the Empress Dowager, Gong Yaxian, and Jun Yuehen who came to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager.
Jun Yuehen asked: "I heard that Prince Lu and Princess Lu lived in Qiqi's Fengyang Palace with their children last night?"
The Queen Mother nodded: "Yes, it was arranged by the Queen Mother. She felt that the Queen had lost her child and wanted Princess Lu to take the child to accompany the Queen. It seemed that she was thinking of the Queen. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Queen Mother was mentioning it on purpose. The Queen is sad, this is just adding salt to the Queen’s wounds.”
Jun Yuehen said with some worry: "Does the Queen Mother really think this is just the Queen Mother who wants to be angry? But Erchen is a little uneasy."
When her son said this, the Empress Dowager became a little worried and asked, "What are Hen'er worried about?"
"Mother, do you think the emperor is really the kind of person who can be cruel enough to throw his own son to death with his own hands? Although you saw the emperor throwing the child from the observation tower at the time, you heard that the child She didn’t cry when she threw her down, and Yang Shihan directly asked someone to carry the baby down, so it’s not certain whether there was a baby in the swaddle, and it’s not sure whether the baby actually fell to death.”
The Empress Dowager nodded in agreement: "Hen'er's suspicion is justified."
Seeing this, Gong Yaxian said: "Grandma, the Seventh Emperor's Uncle, Yaxian has something to say. Regarding the Seventh Emperor's uncle's worries, Yaxian had thought about it before, and was worried that something would happen. All the secrets were hidden from her grandmother and Seventh Emperor's Uncle. He sent someone to find the guard who took the little prince away that day, and questioned him. He said that the child was really thrown to death, and that he personally took him out of the palace and buried him. The child was thrown so hard that his stoma bleeded, and he died on the spot. She didn't have a chance to cry. Later, Yaxian was still worried, so she asked the palace maid to follow the guard to see the place where the little prince was buried. She gave the guard some silver coins and asked the guard to dig out the child and take a look. After the palace maid looked at it, , it was confirmed that the child was the little prince, so the little prince was really dead. When people are angry, they can really do anything. The emperor was so angry at the time that he didn't think too much and actually killed the little prince with his own hands. Prince, grandma and uncle seven emperors don’t have to worry.”
When the Queen Mother heard what Gong Yaxian said, she took her hand and said happily: "Yaxian, I didn't expect you did so much behind the scenes. Why didn't you tell grandma?"
Gong Yaxian looked at the Empress Dowager distressedly and said: "Grandma, ever since you saw the emperor throwing the little prince down from the observation tower that day, you have always had trouble sleeping and had nightmares. Ya Xian knows that you already worry a lot every day, how can you let grandma worry about such a small thing! So Yaxian let someone do it secretly, and grandma doesn’t blame Yaxian for being good at making decisions, Yaxian is already very happy. "
The Empress Dowager said happily: "You are so thoughtful, how can grandma blame you? You are indeed a good granddaughter of grandma. Grandma did not train you in vain."
Jun Yuehen looked at Gong Yaxian with shrewd eyes.
Gong Yaxian looked at the Queen Mother, with a calm and indifferent smile on her lips, and could not see anything wrong.
Jun Yuehen was very suspicious and cautious. Although Gong Yaxian had already spoken very carefully, he still asked some questions in a reproachful tone: "Yaxian, since you are so thoughtful, why don't you do this?" It's a good thing, and the results of the investigation are also what we want. The queen mother was not sleeping well at the time. If you told her about this, she would be in a good mood and maybe her sleep would improve. Why didn't you tell her? "
Gong Yaxian said worriedly: "Uncle Seventh Emperor, it's like this. It was Yaxian who was good at making claims when she asked the guards to investigate whether the little prince was really dead. In fact, Yaxian's starting point was just because of her own selfishness. Yaxian has always been I am very jealous of Mo Qiqi. It is because she snatched away Brother Che that I have no fate with him. So I hate her, including the child she gave birth to. Since Brother Che threw the child down from the observation tower, I I didn't feel relieved that I didn't let someone I trusted see it with my own eyes, so I asked someone to go find the guard to investigate. At that time, I was very worried that people would know about it and suspect it, which would ruin the important matter of my grandmother and the Seventh Emperor's uncle, so I didn't dare to say anything. I just wanted to Just ask for peace of mind. I saw my grandmother and Uncle Seventh Emperor were so worried today, so I dared to speak out boldly."
Seeing that her son's tone towards Yaxian was somewhat reproachful, the Queen Mother spoke up for Gong Yaxian: "Hen'er, don't blame her. Yaxian is not an easy child either. She lost her parents when she was young and grew up beside her mother. I don’t know how many people I have suffered from. I have liked the emperor since I was a child. However, Mo Qiqi insisted on marrying the emperor. After entering the palace, Yaxian was not allowed to meet the emperor. How could Yaxian not resent this bullying? !So I learned that something happened to her son, and wanted to ask for confirmation to reassure my heart. It’s normal. Although she was selfish, she was really helping us, wasn’t she! Yaxian has helped us a lot in these years , as an uncle, you should feel sorry for her, how can you blame her!" In any case, Gong Yaxian likes the emperor. If her son's words are harsh, she will be sad and switch to the emperor, wouldn't it be detrimental to them? .
Jun Yuehen stopped looking at her and smiled gently: "Yaxian, uncle doesn't want to reprimand you, but our plan does not allow for any mistakes, otherwise everyone will be in catastrophe, so uncle is worried. "
Gong Yaxian nodded: "Uncle Seventh Emperor, Yaxian understands it. Yaxian will not ruin the great things of Uncle Seventh Emperor, but Uncle Seventh Emperor also promised Yaxian that once he completes his great cause, he will immediately help Yaxian The family took revenge and killed the whole family of the Duke of Zhenguo. I hope Uncle Seven Emperors will not forget it."
"Don't worry! I will always remember what my uncle promised you."
Gong Yaxian was still a little worried: "Will Uncle Seventh Emperor waver in agreeing to Yaxian for Mo Qiqi?"
Jun Yuehen smiled: "No poison, no husband, don't worry, Uncle Seventh Emperor will not tolerate the Mo family again and again for a woman like Jun Qianche. The power of the Mo family has long reached the point where it has to be eliminated. Once the Seven Emperors When my uncle completes his great cause, he will definitely get rid of the Mo family. Keeping the Mo family is a hidden danger, otherwise the Seventh Emperor's uncle will be controlled by the Mo family like Jun Qianche now, which is not what the Seventh Emperor's uncle wants."
Gong Yaxian smiled softly: "With Uncle Seventh Emperor's words, Yaxian can rest assured. Yaxian will definitely help Uncle Seventh Emperor and her grandmother. Please also ask Uncle Seventh Emperor not to harm brother Che's life after he has completed his great cause. , let Yaxian accompany him away from the palace."
Jun Yuehen promised: "Don't worry, your uncle the Seventh Emperor understands your thoughts. Maybe you don't have to wait until the great cause is completed to satisfy you and the emperor, you can do it now."
Gong Yaxian looked surprised.
The Queen Mother was also puzzled: "What does Hen'er mean by this?"
Worry flashed in Jun Yuehen's eyes, and she said calmly: "I must not let Jun Qianche and Qiqi get back together again, so I want Qiqi to completely give up on Jun Qianche."
The Empress Dowager said optimistically: "Hen'er, don't worry, Mo Qiqi saw Jun Qianche throw her child to death with her own eyes, how could she forgive Jun Qianche! Jun Qianche has already chilled Qiqi's heart."
But Jun Yuehen shook his head: "Mother, I am not so optimistic. I know Qiqi's love for Jun Qianche very well. She did not hesitate to threaten her parents with her life to marry Jun Qianche in the palace. , Her love for Jun Qianche has already reached the point of madness, and her obsession is hopeless. If her love had been even less at that time, I would not have watched her marry another man. These days, After doing so much, he just hoped that she would give up on Jun Qianche, so that child would die innocently and tragically, but even so, it might not make Qiqi completely give up on him.
Jun Qianche knew that Qiqi loved him madly, so he took advantage of this to capture Qiqi's heart again and told Qiqi that someone had deliberately framed the child's matter. He was so angry that he lost judgment. He also said that he would give Qiqi a pair of love for the rest of his life, which shook Qiqi's resentful heart. Jun Qianche was so powerful that Qiqi was no match for him. He knew what Qiqi wanted, even if He was the one who killed Qiqi's child. As long as he is willing to dote on Qiqi alone, Qiqi will still change his mind. I met Qiqi years ago, and Qiqi has hesitated to leave, so I must be here At that time, she completely gave up on Jun Qianche. If Qiqi and Qiqi reconcile, she will definitely speak for Jun Qianche in front of Duke Zhen. There is no guarantee that she will not affect Duke Zhen's decision. "
"Then what are you going to do?" The Queen Mother felt that her son's analysis was reasonable.
Jun Yuehen's eyes fell on Gong Yaxian and said seriously: "If you want Qiqi to completely give up on Jun Qianche, the only way is to let her see with her own eyes that what Jun Qianche said to her was a lie. This may require Yaxian helps."
"I—" Gong Yaxian looked confused: "Yaxian doesn't understand what the seventh emperor uncle means."
Jun Yuehen smiled gently and said: "Yaxian, haven't you always wanted to marry the emperor? Now is the best opportunity. As long as you have a relationship with the emperor, with the emperor's character, he will definitely take responsibility. I will give you a status."
Gong Yaxian lowered her head in embarrassment and humiliation, and murmured: "Although Yaxian wants to be brother Che's woman, brother Che doesn't like me at all. How could he have a relationship with me?"
Jun Yuehen continued to say warmly: "With Uncle Seventh Emperor here, he will naturally help you. Uncle Seventh Emperor has a very powerful bottle of love potion here. As long as it is used on the emperor, he will appear like he likes women, and he will If you treat him as the woman he likes, he will definitely favor you. As long as you and the emperor cook rice, he will be responsible for you."
"This -" Gong Yaxian felt embarrassed: "Uncle Seventh Emperor wants Yaxian to be a substitute for another woman?"
"Yaxian, you can think about it from another angle. If you can be with the man you love, why should you care about how to get it! Maybe the woman he likes in his heart is you! He has been hiding this love just for the sake of the throne. , if that's the case, after taking this medicine, wouldn't it allow both of you to get what you want? Even if the person he loves in his heart is not you, he will feel a debt to you if he has you. With this debt, you can It will be a good thing for you to get close to him and develop a relationship with him." Jun Yuehen persuaded warmly.
The Queen Mother took Yaxian's hand, patted it and said distressedly: "Yaxian, grandma knows that you are also a child who wants to save face, but in the face of love, sometimes you have to put down your face. In this regard, you should talk to Mo Qi Qixue, you see, the emperor didn't like her at first, but she fought hard to marry him, and she got her wish! Don't be too rigid in love. Do your uncle the seventh emperor a favor, and he will be able to marry her in the future. I won’t treat you badly.”
Gong Yaxian hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Yaxian is willing to listen to the arrangements of grandma and the Seventh Emperor."
The Empress Dowager and Jun Yuehen raised the corners of their lips in satisfaction.
The corners of Gong Yaxian's lips raised slightly.
Mo Qiqi brought Banxiang to Yongshou Palace, and the palace people saluted respectfully: "See the Queen."
The three people in the dormitory heard the salute outside and looked at each other.
Jun Yuehen stood up and said, "I don't want Qiqi to see me at this time. Mother, I will leave first."
The Queen Mother nodded: "Go and get busy!"
Jun Yuehen left through the door on the side.
Mo Qiqi stepped in, with a faint smile on her lips, and saluted the Empress Dowager: "Qiqi, see the Empress Dowager."
The Empress Dowager smiled kindly: "Qiqi, hurry up and forgive me. When you come to the Ai family, you don't need so many rules."
"Thank you, Grandma Huang." Mo Qiqi stood up and looked at Gong Yaxian.
Gong Yaxian bowed and said, "Yaxian, see you, the Queen."
"Yaxian doesn't have to be polite," Mo Qiqi said friendlyly.
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Gong Yaxian was as respectful as ever. She was very different from Yang Shihan. Although she was very favored by the Queen Mother, she was friendly and gentle to everyone and would never take advantage of the Queen Mother's favor. Arrogant and domineering, perhaps because he was brought to the Queen Mother since childhood and has no relatives! I always feel like I'm dependent on others, so I have to learn to be versatile in order not to be disliked or disliked by others.
Gong Yaxian looked at Mo Qiqi with envy and jealousy in her heart: What is so good about her? Brother Che loves her so much, Uncle Seventh Emperor loves her so much, and she has a happy natal family. It seems that all the good things have been taken care of by her alone. She has everything that all women envy, and she has it! Having nothing, even love is a luxury.
"Qiqi, hurry up and sit down." The Empress Dowager greeted warmly.
Mo Qiqi raised her lips and smiled and said: "Grandma Huang, Qiqi won't sit down. Qiqi is here to pay New Year greetings to Grandma Huang. She's late. I hope Grandma Huang won't blame her."
The Empress Dowager smiled: "How could it be! The Imperial Grandmother knows that it is very hard for you to accompany the Emperor to worship your ancestors today. You can still have the heart to pay tribute to the Imperial Grandmother. The Imperial Grandmother is already very happy. This is what the Imperial Grandmother has done for you." The red envelope you prepared, I hope the queen will have everything go well in the new year." He took out a red envelope with a phoenix painted on it and handed it to Mo Qiqi.
Mo Qiqi took it with both hands, saluted and thanked her again: "Thank you, Grandma Emperor."
"No thank you, no thank you." The Empress Dowager smiled kindly. When Mo Qiqi saw it, he really wanted to rush forward and tear her mask apart. She was so hypocritical and ridiculous. She secretly tried her best to harm you while pretending to be kind to you. How could there be such a perverted person in the world? Where are the people! In the past, my world was too simple. After learning the true face of the Empress Dowager, I realized that people can be so divided. If she could, she really didn't want to step foot here. Whenever she saw her, she would think of her children who could not be reunited with her, and she would hate the Empress Dowager.
Mo Qiqi spoke again: "Emperor Grandma, Qiqi left before she went to pay her respects to the Queen Mother."
The Empress Dowager nodded: "Go quickly! Don't let the Empress Dowager make the choice." A simple sentence, but full of provocation.
Mo Qiqi walked away.
After walking out of Yongshou Palace, he looked at the red envelope in his hand with a look of disgust on his face, threw it to Banxiang and said, "I reward you."
Banxiang looked surprised: "My Lady, you gave it to this slave without even looking at it?"
"Is there anything good to see? I am the mother of a country, what else is missing! You try your best to follow me every day and you are loyal. I am very touched, so I reward you."
Banxiang said happily: "Thank you, Queen."
Mo Qiqi smiled and walked towards the Queen Mother's palace.
Ciyue Palace, the Queen Mother's bedroom. Although she has a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, this is a place she rarely comes to. She knows that the Queen Mother doesn't like her, so she won't come when there is nothing wrong, so as not to make each other unhappy, but think about it. It was quite interesting to live here for a period of time. I knew that the Queen Mother didn't like me, but I still ran to her every day, ate with her, and cooked food for her. And the Queen Mother, although she was strict on the surface, was actually not bad-hearted, even though she didn't like her. She was pregnant with Jun Qianche's child, but when she did something dangerous, she would still be the first to rush over and scold him. Although it was a scolding, she knew very well in her heart that it was out of worry, fearing that something would happen to her. Only then will he be scolded angrily.
At first, you may feel that you dislike the Queen Mother because no one likes someone who hates them. But as time goes by and you get to know the Queen Mother's temper, you no longer dislike her so much, because the Queen Mother is the kind of person who has a sharp mouth and a heart. No, if she were a cruel woman like the Empress Dowager, she would have died long ago.
So instead of being with someone like the Empress Dowager who is kind on the outside but vicious on the inside, she would rather get along with the Queen Mother who is stern on the outside but soft on the inside.
However, when I think about the fact that the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother have been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for so many years, their relationship has always been very good. Even though they knew what kind of person the Queen Mother was, they never broke up with each other. Even after knowing that she had harmed her son again and again, she still remained She can endure to be a good daughter-in-law. This endurance is unmatched and admirable. The Queen Mother seems to listen to everything the Queen Mother says, but in fact she is just acting to protect herself! Otherwise, after so many years, I am afraid that the Queen Mother would have had murderous intentions towards her. In fact, if you think about it, it is really not easy for the Queen Mother. She has been enduring the Queen Mother for the sake of her son. This is not something ordinary people can do. He obviously knows everything in his heart, but he still pretends to know nothing. If it were him, facing someone who wanted to get rid of his son, he wouldn't be able to bear it for so many years, and he still pretended to be filial and a good wife to the Empress Dowager. At this point Above, the Queen Mother is really not an ordinary person. To be able to sit next to such a vicious Queen Mother and reach her current position must have been a lot of sadness along the way. The late Emperor loved her very much when he was still there. After the First Emperor left, no one will do it again. Holding up a protective umbrella for her, she could only protect herself, be a good daughter-in-law for the sake of her husband, and still tolerate the Queen Mother for the sake of her son. She suddenly felt more sorry for the Queen Mother.
Walk into Ciyue Palace and go straight to the Queen Mother's bedroom.
The Queen Mother was sitting in the palace, enjoying tea leisurely. In fact, sometimes the Queen Mother gives people the impression that she is very indifferent, as if she has seen everything in the world clearly, so she can face the Queen Mother with such a peaceful attitude. Taking pleasure in suffering is not a very high practice.
Mo Qiqi walked in with a sweet smile on her lips: "My son, please see the Queen Mother." He understood the difficulty of the Queen Mother, so he treated her with more respect.
The Queen Mother glanced at her, put down the delicate teacup in her hand and said, "The Queen still knows how to come to pay her respects to the Ai family!"
Mo Qiqi still smiled: "I'm sorry, Queen Mother. I was too tired from going to worship my ancestors in the morning, so I forgot about it. I'm late. Please forgive me, Queen Mother." Even though the Queen Mother looked at her coldly, she was still happy. She can laugh out loud and tell the truth to her, because she is her husband’s mother and his son’s grandmother, so she will not be disrespectful to her. Ever since she fell in love with Jun Qianche, her attitude towards the Queen Mother has changed a lot. She She is Jun Qianche's mother, her relative.
"How dare you find it tiring to worship ancestors? If the ancestors heard about it, what would they think of you as a daughter-in-law?" the Queen Mother scolded displeasedly.
Mo Qiqi still smiled and said: "The Queen Mother taught me that I must pay attention to what I say in the future."
The Queen Mother sighed helplessly and said coldly: "You all go down! The Ai family has something to say to the Queen."
"Yes!" The palace people all retreated.
The Queen Mother and Mo Qiqi were the only ones left in the palace.
Mo Qiqi blinked her clear and bright eyes and looked at the Queen Mother and asked: "Queen Mother, do you have anything to say to me?"
The Queen Mother glared at her, pretending to be displeased and said: "We have been married to the Emperor for three years, but why are we still called the Queen Mother? You should follow the Emperor and call yourself Queen Mother."
Mo Qiqi was startled, then smiled happily, without being pretentious, and quickly shouted: "Mother."
The Queen Mother smiled: "You are quite clever, kid. Sit down!"
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Mo Qiqi sat down on the chair next to the Queen Mother, looked at the Queen Mother, and asked with a smile: "Queen Mother, my son and I have come to wish you a happy New Year. Didn't you prepare a red envelope?" Although I and Jun Qianche She has been married for three years, but she has only been with Jun Qianche for one year. This is her first year with Jun Qianche, so she still hopes to receive a red envelope from her mother-in-law and gain her approval. .
The Queen Mother didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You child, you are really unbearable. Fortunately, the Ai family is prepared, otherwise it would be extremely embarrassing to be asked like this by you."
Mo Qiqi stuck out his tongue.
The Queen Mother took out a red envelope and handed it to her: "Take it!"
Mo Qiqi immediately stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Queen Mother." She couldn't wait to open it and poured out the contents. She was shocked when she saw what was inside. There were two things in the red envelope, a very exquisite hosta with carved The phoenix wears the peony, which is green, and seems to be a pair with the pair of dragon and phoenix jade bracelets, the other one is a longevity lock.
"Mother, this-" Mo Qiqi looked at the Queen Mother with a puzzled expression.
The Queen Mother smiled lightly and said: "This jade hairpin is a pair of the dragon and phoenix jade bracelets. The one you have is a phoenix pierced with peonies. It was worn by the queen. There is also a hairpin engraved with a flying dragon that is with the emperor. It is for a man. You are wearing a pair. This hairpin was supposed to be given to the Queen by the Queen Mother herself after your wedding to the Emperor. However, at first, the Ai family really did not recognize you as a daughter-in-law, so they never gave it to you. "
"Now that the queen mother has given this hairpin to Erchen, does she approve of Erchen as his wife?" Mo Qiqi quickly asked.
The Queen Mother glanced at her and said: "We have become a real couple with the Emperor, and we have children. If the Ai family doesn't admit it, I'm afraid even the son will blame me as the mother."
Mo Qiqi smiled, shook her head and said, "No, the emperor is the most filial to his mother."
The Queen Mother shook her head and smiled: "You don't need to comfort the Ai family. The Queen Mother also came from a daughter-in-law. She knows that once a man marries a daughter-in-law, he only loves her."
Mo Qiqi smiled sweetly and said sweetly: "Don't worry, mother, I will be filial to you together with the emperor in the future."
The Queen Mother was very happy after hearing this, but she said calmly: "No wonder you can steal my son's heart. Who wouldn't like it with such a sweet mouth? Your temperament has really changed, and you have become more generous and optimistic than before. , This is very good. The emperor is already very tired from working on state affairs. He will indeed be tired of listening to your nagging and complaining after he comes back. It will only push him further. He is the man who least needs women, but he is also the most Men who need women to understand, the men in the Jun family all have a fatal weakness, either they don’t love a woman, but once they do, they will definitely treat you well for the rest of their lives. Women who can enter their hearts are the happiest. Fortunately, you realized it in time. Only when my personality was at odds with his and I corrected it in time did I get into Che'er's heart. Once he falls in love with you, he will definitely treat you well for the rest of his life, you can rest assured on this."
Mo Qiqi nodded in agreement: "My son and I understand what the Queen Mother said. Don't worry, Mother, my son and I will never make unreasonable troubles and cause unnecessary troubles to him."
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction.
Mo Qiqi looked at the longevity lock in her hand.
The Queen Mother spoke again: "The Ai family saw the boy that Princess Lu had brought. He was very lovable. The Ai family liked it very much. They originally wanted to put this longevity lock on him, but he was afraid that others would suspect it, so he didn't take it out. It is grandma’s wish that the Aijia give this to you now and wear it on your children in the future.”
Mo Qiqi's eyes were red with emotion, and she was even happier than she had been recognized by the Queen Mother. Because the child had the blood of the Mo family, the Queen Mother did not agree with the emperor keeping the child from the beginning. Now the Queen Mother gave the child this long life Suo recognized the child, so how could she be unhappy! My son is also loved by his grandma.
Mo Qiqi stood up and saluted and said, "Thank you very much, Queen Mother. I will definitely put it on for him."
The Queen Mother nodded: "Okay. You didn't rest last night, okay? Go back and have a rest! You are really haggard, and the Emperor will feel distressed when he sees it."
Mo Qiqi smiled shyly, said goodbye to the Queen Mother, and returned to Fengyang Palace in a good mood.
After returning to Fengyang Palace, a palace official immediately came forward to salute, and then whispered to Mo Qiqi: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is here and is waiting for Your Majesty in the palace!"
Mo Qiqi nodded in understanding, her smiling face immediately turned cold, she looked at Banxiang and said, "Let everyone go down and rest!"
"Yes!" Banxiang asked the palace people to leave.
Mo Qiqi walked towards the bedroom, a smile immediately appeared on her cold face, she walked into the bedroom, closed the door and walked towards the inner room.
Jun Qianche stood in the bedroom waiting for her to come in.
When Mo Qiqi saw him, she happily ran towards him and threw herself into his arms, with a happy smile on her face. Jun Qianche looked surprised, because she had never been so passionate about him. When they were not together, she would always deliberately distance herself from him. After they were together, she became very shy. Every time he came near, she would Turning around shyly, he was flattered that he had pounced on her so proactively today. His curiosity was aroused and he asked, "What makes my queen so happy?"
Mo Qiqi put her arms around his neck and looked at him, with a charming smile on her lips: "Your Majesty, thank you for the gift last night. I loved it so much. Thank you Your Majesty for allowing me to spend the first time with my son." This New Year, let me leave no regrets."
Jun Qianche lowered his head and pressed it against her forehead. He smiled evilly and said, "Is that all I need to say thank you? Shouldn't the queen be more practical?"
Mo Qiqi blushed with embarrassment, pushed him away, turned her back, and muttered: "Your Majesty, can you stop thinking about that kind of thing all the time!" Is this man really not tired? He didn't sleep last night and was busy all morning today. He still had the energy to think about that kind of thing. He was really convinced.
Jun Qianche hugged her from behind, leaned close to her ear and whispered: "You are my wife. I see my wife thinking about that kind of thing. Is there anything wrong with her?"
"Jun Qianche, you are just a sultry man. You are serious, cold and stern in front of outsiders. But in front of my concubines, you immediately changed into a big pervert." Mo Qiqi complained.
Jun Qianche smiled and said frankly: "A man who is serious outside and only lusts after his wife in bed is a good man."
Mo Qiqi turned back and rolled her eyes at him, mockingly saying: "You're so thick-skinned. You can praise yourself without blushing. You feel like you can reach heaven, don't you?"
Jun Qianche was amused by her words and bit her ear.
Mo Qiqi was so teased that she felt numb all over and said shyly: "Don't make trouble. Your Majesty, I have gone to pay my respects to the Queen Mother. Aren't you worried that the Queen Mother will make things difficult for me?"
Jun Qianche smiled lightly, smelled her body fragrance, and said confidently: "I don't have to worry, my mother will not make things difficult for you."
"Is the Emperor so sure?" Mo Qiqi looked at him.
Jun Qianche pinched the tip of her nose and said, "Ever since I met my son on the day you gave birth, my mother's attitude towards you has changed. Because she loves her grandson, she naturally agrees with you.
Later, I also told my mother that I have recognized you in my life and do not want anyone to hurt you. Therefore, my mother will not make things difficult for you for the sake of her sons and grandchildren. "
Mo Qiqi smiled movedly: "It turns out that the emperor has done so much for my concubine."
But Jun Qianche said sincerely: "It's not that I have done much, but that the queen deserves to be liked. The queen mother has really given up her past grudges against you. Otherwise, even if I say, if the queen mother doesn't like you, even if she doesn't make things difficult for you, she will I treat you coldly, I believe your mother didn’t treat you like that when you went to Ciyue Palace today!"
Mo Qiqi pouted and said, "The emperor should really become a fortune teller. He understands other people so well, as if he has seen them with his own eyes."
Jun Qianche smiled slightly and whispered in her ear: "I am so awesome, will the queen reward me?" He bit her cute earlobe.
Mo Qiqi was itching to hide, and said shyly: "Your Majesty, wait a moment! I have two things to show you."
"What?" Jun Qianche asked casually. He was not interested in the things in her hands now, he was only interested in looking at her.
Mo Qiqi took out the hosta and longevity lock and said happily: "Your Majesty, look, this is the red envelope gift that the queen gave to my concubine today."
"Fengchai, longevity lock, is this why the queen is so happy to come back?" Jun Qianche said in a disapproving tone.
But Mo Qiqi nodded happily: "Yes! Fengchai, it means that the queen recognizes me as my daughter-in-law. The longevity lock is the queen's recognition of Chen'er. We, mother and son, are recognized by the queen. Do you think this is worth being happy about?" "
Jun Qianche shook his head and smiled: "Is the Queen Mother's approval so important to you? Isn't it enough to have my approval, and others care so much?"
"It's different! The emperor recognizes my concubine because we have feelings for each other. It's natural. He recognizes his son because he has your blood on him. He is your son. It's natural for you to recognize him. The Queen's approval makes me happy because she is a relative of the Emperor. It is natural to be happy to be recognized by your closest relatives!" Mo Qiqi couldn't hide her joy.
Jun Qianche felt very warm after hearing this. It turned out that she cared so much about her relatives' approval of her. She had done so well and was recognized by her mother, but what about herself? The Duke of Zhen Guo does not recognize his son-in-law. Should he also learn from her and work hard to be a good son-in-law and gain his approval
I'm afraid it won't be easy! If one day the Mo family and I really become enemies, she will be the most difficult person. I should do something for her!
"Your Majesty, why are you in a daze? What are you thinking about?" Seeing that Jun Qianche was silent, Mo Qiqi reached out and touched him.
Jun Qianche was brought back from his thoughts, took the things in her hands and put them on the table, picked her up and walked towards the big bed.
Mo Qiqi protested: "Your Majesty, I'm very sleepy now! I want to sleep, can I not do it?"
"Just do it once and let you sleep. I will sleep with you until the palace banquet in the evening." He rolled her into the big bed and couldn't wait to start their love affair.
Mo Qiqi knew that she couldn't believe what he said in bed. What did he mean by letting her sleep once, but in the end he still wanted her twice, which made her exhausted.
Jun Qianche hugged her tightly and hugged her to sleep.
The palace banquet in the evening was lively. Ministers brought their families to the palace to participate in the banquet and bond with each other. Some ladies also prepared performances, which were beautiful and displayed various talents on the stage. Taking this opportunity to gain the emperor's favor, he will be chosen to join the emperor's side and flourish.
But Jun Qianche only regarded it as a performance and did not remember any woman's face in his heart, because his heart had already been filled up except for Mo Qiqi.
Mo Qiqi felt displeased when she saw the hard-working performances of these wealthy ladies. They were clearly trying to seduce Jun Qianche on purpose!
She had not accepted Jun Qianche before. If a woman took the initiative to seduce Jun Qianche, she would definitely be there to help beat the drum, agree, and then introduce her to Jun Qianche vigorously.
But now that she is with him, love is selfish, and she is no exception, so when she sees another woman trying to seduce him, she feels very unhappy, but as the mother of a country, she cannot show it, and she has to Pretending to be generous, Mo Qiqi really felt that if she sat in this position for a long time, people would become divided, so she had to find an opportunity to find a way to make those women give up on Jun Qianche.
Yang Shihan also came to see tonight's banquet. She came because Mo Chengxuan was here.
Among the many people, Yang Shihan and Mo Chengxuan occasionally looked at each other, and when they met each other's eyes, they felt joyful in their hearts.
Tonight's banquet went smoothly without any accidents. After the banquet, everyone left Changle Palace and went home.
As military generals, Han Yixiao and Bai Jiu also came today. After the banquet, Han Yixiao walked out of the palace and walked to Bai Jiu and said: "General Bai, my mother learned that you are an orphan and is afraid that you will celebrate the New Year alone. I’m too lonely, so I want to invite you to Han Mansion to celebrate the New Year. Is it convenient for you?”
Before entering the palace, Mother Han specifically told her son that he must invite General Bai to the Han Mansion, otherwise he would be asked to accompany General Bai to General Bai's Mansion to celebrate the New Year.
Han Yixiao really didn't understand why his mother favored Bai Jiu so much. She was so fond of Bai Jiu that even his son was jealous. His mother said it was because Bai Jiu had no parents, and he felt sorry for him. But among the soldiers, Bai Jiu was not the only one without parents. I have never seen my mother care so much about them! Maybe Bai Jiu has this charm! Make people like it uncontrollably.
Bai Jiu was a little surprised when he heard Han Yixiao's words: "The old lady invited me to the Han Mansion to celebrate the New Year? Wouldn't this be too intrusive?" He guessed that the old lady must be deliberately bringing him and Han Yixiao together.
"To be honest, General Bai, my mother asked me to invite you to the Han Mansion to celebrate the New Year a few years ago. I heard that you went back to see Master during the New Year and spend the New Year with him, so I told my mother. She said that she would wait until you come back with Master to invite you. Go. Mother really likes General Bai." Han Yixiao said truthfully.
Bai Jiu smiled lightly. Years ago, the soldiers discussed how to celebrate the New Year this year. She said that she was an orphan and had no relatives. Her only relative was her master, so she wanted to spend the New Year with her. In fact, that was what she thought in her heart. She took advantage of a few days of free time during the New Year to go there first. See Master, stay with Master for two days, and then come back to spend the New Year with my parents.
But this year, master and uncle? We went traveling around the world together, and since we were not at home, she could only stay in Kyoto and secretly return to the Mo family. Everyone in General Bai's mansion thought she had gone to accompany her master, but in fact she was at the Mo family.
She made an agreement with her parents tonight not to go back to the Duke's Mansion, but to the General's Mansion. She didn't expect that Han Yixiao would invite her to the Han Mansion.
"It is the general's blessing to be liked by the old lady." Bai Jiu said sensibly.
Han Yixiao asked: "I wonder if General Bai would appreciate it?"
Bai Jiu nodded immediately: "General, you are so polite. It is my honor to be invited by the old lady. I will definitely go."
"Then please!" Han Yixiao breathed a sigh of relief. The task assigned by his mother was finally completed.
Bai Jiu and Han Yixiao got on the carriage together and drove towards the Han Mansion.
The Duke Zhen and his wife, Mo Chengxuan, who came out later, saw this scene. The Duke's wife worried: "Why did Jiujiu leave with General Han? There must be nothing between them!"
Duke Zhenguo said optimistically: "Madam, don't worry, Jiujiu is Han Yixiao's general. It's normal for the two of them to leave together. They must be discussing matters in the military camp!"
Men and women often have different ideas. In the eyes of Duke Zhen, the relationship between his daughter and Han Yixiao is just a simple superior-subordinate relationship.
But the mother had more things on her mind. After all, Jiujiu was a girl, and she was somewhat uneasy about leaving with a man. She was worried that something other than the military camp incident would be revealed.
But he couldn't call his daughter. After all, it was a crime for a woman to disguise herself as a man and enter the military camp. If the truth was exposed, not only would her daughter's life be in danger, but it would also bring trouble to the town government.
When Bai Jiu came to the Han Mansion, he first sent someone to the Bai Mansion to inform him that she would go back later tonight. After all, people knew that she would go to the palace to attend the palace banquet tonight, and they would be worried if he went back too late. In fact, there are not many servants left in the White House. Those who stay in the house are all without relatives. Those who have family members are given a holiday and let them go home to celebrate the New Year.
Although it is getting late, Mrs. Han has not rested yet! She was waiting for her son to come back. If her son couldn't invite Bai Jiu, she would give her son a good scolding.
Such a good girl must be caught by her son. If she runs away, her son's marriage may be far away. She must take advantage of tonight to deepen the relationship between the two, at least let her rigid son know. , Bai Jiu is a girl.
When Mrs. Han saw Bai Jiu coming, she immediately got up and walked over: "General Bai, it's great that you are here. I was worried that Xiao'er was too clumsy to invite you!"
Han Yixiao stood aside speechlessly and did not speak.
Bai Jiu smiled and said: "How dare Bai Jiu not come when the old lady invites me? It is Bai Jiu's blessing that the old lady invites Bai Jiu to come to Han Mansion for the festival."
"You kid, aren't you too outspoken to say this? From now on, you will treat this place as your own home, and you can come whenever you want."
Bai Jiu nodded: "Okay, as long as the old lady doesn't bother Bai Jiu."
"How could it be! I wish you could come every day! Xiao'er is too busy to come home every day. Even when he comes back, he has many things to do and doesn't have time to accompany me, an old man. If you come, you can still accompany me and say Talk!"
"Okay, Bai Jiu will definitely come here often in the future." Bai Jiu smiled brightly.
The old lady invited: "General Bai, I asked my servants to prepare some side dishes and good wine. Let's sit down and eat and chat."
Han Yixiao said: "Mother, we have already had a palace banquet in the palace."
"How can we eat well when there are so many people in the palace? It's been a while since we got home from the palace, so I'm a little hungry! Eat some more and talk to an old man like me. It's rare to be happy during the New Year, and I also want to drink. After a few drinks, you can treat it as a midnight snack!"
Han Yixiao was really speechless, feeling that his mother was a little unusual tonight.
Bai Jiu smiled and said, "Since the old lady wants to have a few drinks, Bai Jiu will definitely accompany her."
Mrs. Han smiled happily: "General Bai is still sensible and considerate. It would be great if I could have a daughter-in-law like you. I wouldn't be lonely every day."
As soon as he said this, Bai Jiu lowered his head shyly.
Han Yixiao was a little embarrassed.
Upon seeing this, the old lady said: "Okay, stop standing and go inside to have a drink."
Han Yixiao and Bai Jiu accompanied the old lady into the room.
There was a large table of dishes on the table. Bai Jiu helped the old lady sit down and said, "The old lady said it was just a few simple side dishes! This is too rich!"
The old lady pulled her to sit down and said: "I heard that you lost your parents when you were a child and you live with the master. You must feel lonely during the Chinese New Year! I wanted Xiao'er to invite you over yesterday, and Xiao'er said you should go and accompany her. You are now master, and it feels like a pity that I can’t have a reunion dinner with you, so I’ll make up for the reunion dinner for you tonight.”
Bai Jiu was very moved after hearing this: "Old madam, you are so considerate, Bai Jiu really doesn't know what to say."
"No need to say anything. If you are happy, just have a few more drinks with me." The old lady said kindly.
Bai Jiu nodded: "Okay." He took the wine bottle, helped the old lady and Han Yixiao fill up the wine, then poured it for himself, raised the glass and said: "Old lady, general, thank you for your warm hospitality, Bai Jiu will do it first Out of respect."
The old lady smiled and drank the wine in the glass.
Han Yixiao also drank.
The old lady took the jug and poured wine for Bai Jiu and said, "Come, let me have two more drinks with you."
Han Yixiao saw this and stopped him: "Mother, General Bai already drank a lot of wine at the palace banquet. If he drinks any more, he will get drunk."
"Don't worry about getting drunk. General Bai will stay in Han Mansion tonight, so you don't have to worry about getting drunk." The old lady said happily.
Han Yixiao disagreed with his mother's statement: "Mom, even if General Bai doesn't leave tonight, you can't get her drunk. It will be very uncomfortable if she is drunk." Bai Jiu is so weak, and it will be very uncomfortable if she is drunk. He felt distressed. Although this feeling was strange and made me despise him, my concern for Bai Jiu was uncontrollable.
Mrs. Han smiled and joked: "Xiao'er, this is the first time I've seen you care so much about someone! If Bai Jiu were a girl, would you like her?"
Bai Jiu glanced at Han Yixiao and quickly lowered his head, shyness creeping onto his cheeks.
Han Yixiao said awkwardly: "Mother, what are you talking about!"
The mother smiled: "Okay, okay, mother won't tease you anymore. Since you feel so sorry for General Bai, why don't you drink a few drinks for General Bai!" She pushed the wine in front of Bai Jiu to Han Yixiao.
Seeing this, Bai Jiu said: "Old madam, I'm fine, I can drink."
Reach for it.
Han Yixiao quickly picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. I really don't want her to get drunk.
Mrs. Han winked at Bai Jiu and smiled.
Bai Jiu blushed with embarrassment.
Next, Mrs. Han made various excuses to make Bai Jiu drink.
Han Yixiao remained silent and helped Bai Jiu drink all the wine. He wanted to see what his mother was going to do tonight and what the purpose was of getting Bai Jiu drunk.
In fact, Han Yixiao misunderstood. His mother did not insist on getting Bai Jiu drunk, but wanted to get him drunk.
It's just that Han Yixiao underestimated the pot of wine prepared by his mother. Although he didn't drink often, he had a good capacity for drinking. He thought he wouldn't get drunk after drinking this pot of wine, but he didn't expect to get drunk after only half of it.
Han Yixiao stretched out his hand and pressed his temples, and asked with a strong hint of drunkenness in his voice: "Mother, what kind of wine is this? Why is it so, so strong?"
The old lady smiled and said: "Of course it's a good wine! Xiao'er, would you like to have two more drinks?"
Han Yixiao nodded, then shook his head: "No, the child can't drink anymore. The child is dizzy. I want to go back to the room to rest first." He stood up with his hands on his body, swaying.
When Bai Jiu saw this, he immediately stood up and helped him.
When the old lady saw this, she said, "General Bai, thank you for taking Xiao'er back to her room." She leaned closer to Bai Jiu and whispered, "Auntie, I don't mind if you guys cook the rice first."
Bai Jiu's shy cheeks turned red.
Han Yixiao didn't hear what his mother said clearly and asked: "Mom, what do you want to eat? Do you still want to eat?"
Mrs. Han smiled and said, "Mother said this is the end of the meal! Let Bai Jiu take you back to your room."
Han Yixiao shook his head and said, "No, it's okay, kid. You can go back by yourself." He pulled back the arm held by Bai Jiu and walked away, swaying so much that he almost fell down.
Bai Jiu quickly ran forward to help him: "General, I'd better take you back to your room!" The old lady said that she couldn't do it yet, but she wanted to visit his room. , take a look at what the place where he lives is like. I have been to Han Mansion several times, and I have always been to his study, but I have never been to his room!
The old lady looked at her son and sighed: "You kid, you still show off when you are drunk. General Bai, thank you for your hard work."
Bai Jiu shook his head and helped Han Yixiao out.
Bai Jiu has known Han Yixiao for almost a year, and this is the first time she has seen him drunk. Although he is drunk, he does not have any bad taste in alcohol. Apart from being unable to walk properly, he still looks like a Just like when he was not drunk, he was very quiet and spoke very little.
Bai Jiu helped him to the room, helped him lie down on the bed, took off his shoes, and covered him with the quilt.
Han Yixiao frowned, it must be because the strong alcohol was burning in his stomach.
Tonight at the palace banquet, many ministers and rich ladies toasted to him. He had already drank a lot, and now the old lady poured so much strong wine on him, wouldn't he feel uncomfortable!
It’s true, the old lady, even if you want to bring us together, you don’t have to get your son drunk so cruelly! How uncomfortable! Thinking about what the old lady said about uncooked rice and cooked rice, I thought it was funny. Didn’t she understand her son? Even if Han Yixiao was drunk, I'm afraid he wouldn't do that kind of thing!
But she was very grateful to the old lady for her kindness.
But Bai Jiu doesn't understand drunk men. Under the control of alcohol, anything can happen. Even if Han Yixiao is usually calm and composed, he may do unexpected things now when he is drunk. Of course, the prerequisite The condition is that he likes that person.
Bai Jiu looked at the room where Han Yixiao lived. It was simple and clear, just like his character. Except for some daily necessities, some books on the art of war, and a sword on the weapons rack, there were no valuable or luxurious furnishings. It's the men's room. The colors are also darker. Bai Jiu thought in his heart that if he could really be with him one day, he would definitely help him renovate his room and make it warm and cozy. It felt too deserted now.
Thinking like this, my little face couldn't help but turn red.
"It's so hot -" Han Yixiao muttered, reaching out to grab the clothes on his chest.
Bai Jiu's eyes shifted to Han Yixiao. Seeing that he was in pain, she felt sorry for him. She immediately walked towards the washstand, took a towel, dipped it in cold water, walked back to the edge of the bed, and wiped his face and neck, hoping that Help him cool down. The wine is burning in his body, which must be very hot.
Han Yixiao hotly tore off the clothes on his chest.
Bai Jiu looked at it and felt a little embarrassed, but because the wine was burning in his body, his skin was red. Thinking that he must be very uncomfortable, Bai Jiu couldn't care less about being shy or not, and wiped his chest with the towel in his hand. Go, hoping to help him cool down.
The coolness that came to his chest made Han Yixiao very comfortable. When Bai Jiu wanted to pick up the towel and wet it with some water.
Han Yixiao suddenly grabbed her hand, pressed it on his chest, and murmured: "Don't leave."
Bai Jiu's hand was suddenly held by him. She was shy and wanted to take it out, but he held it tighter.
Bai Jiu said: "General, you must be feeling very uncomfortable! I will help you wet yourself with some water and wipe your body."
Not sure whether Han Yixiao heard her words or acted unintentionally, he removed the towel from her hand with one hand and threw it to the ground.
Seeing this, Bai Jiu took out his hand and stood up to pick up the towel on the ground. However, the drunk Han Yixiao reached out and grabbed her wrist accurately. He pulled hard and Bai Jiu followed the wave. With such force, she fell into his arms.
Han Yixiao wrapped his arms around her, hugging her in his arms.
Bai Jiu was startled, his heart beat faster, and he became worried: Could it be that a drunk man would really, really do that kind of thing without knowing what he was doing? A stable man like Han Yixiao would not do such a thing!
"General, do you know who I am?" Bai Jiu raised his face and looked at him bravely.
I saw Han Yixiao narrowing his eyes slightly and looking at her in front of him in a distracted manner. The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he said in a hoarse voice stained with drunkenness: "Of course I know who you are. You are, you are Bai Jiu, The smell on your body is very, very special, and very, very good, I, I can smell it."
"Since the general knows that he is the junior general, and the junior general is a man, it is not good for the general to hold the junior general like this!" Bai Jiu said warmly.
Han Yixiao frowned slightly, his expression was a little painful, and he said in a complaining tone: "You, why are you a man? Why-"
"General, what's wrong with me being a man?" Bai Jiu asked tentatively, wanting to know what he felt and how he felt about himself.
"Bai Jiu, it would be great if you were a woman, then I could like you." Han Yixiao murmured.
Bai Jiu was lying in his arms. Although his voice was very low, she still heard it. She couldn't hide the joy in her heart. She raised her little face and looked at him. She stretched out her hand to touch his cheek and asked gently: "General, if I’m a woman, will you really like me?”
Han Yixiao tried his best to see her clearly in front of him, but no matter how he looked, there were two of her. He shook his head and murmured: "If you were a woman, me, I would go to your house to propose marriage, I want to marry you. "
Bai Jiu smiled happily: "General, I will remember your words."
Han Yixiao smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that you are not a woman, so you and I are destined not to have this fate."
Bai Jiu lay on top of him, admiring him seriously and said, "Who says men can't fall in love with each other! As long as it's true love, it can transcend gender."
Han Yixiao shook his head: "The world will not accept it. Rumors will drive people to death."
Bai Jiu said disdainfully: "Why should people care about worldly opinions when they are alive? People should live for themselves, not for others to see."
Han Yixiao suddenly held up Bai Jiu's face, raised the corners of his lips and said, "Bai Jiu, do you know that I really envy you? You live such a free and willful life. As long as it is something you like, you will move forward bravely."
"Actually, you can do it too!" Bai Jiu looked at him and smiled.
Han Yixiao shook his head, looked at her, and tried his best to open his eyes, trying to imprint her deeply in his mind. Even if he had no luck in this life, he could like and love her silently in his heart.
Bai Jiu kept looking at him and smiling, very beautiful and charming.
Perhaps because there was too much bitterness and regret in his heart, coupled with the prompting of alcohol, Han Yixiao suddenly turned over, pressed her under him, covered his lips with hers, kissed her lips, and kissed her hard.
This was the third time they kissed. The first time was when they bumped into each other accidentally, and the second time was when Bai Jiu took the initiative to kiss him.
Although there was one time when he wanted to kiss her, his reason finally defeated his impulse and he did not dare to do so.
This time, he was drunk and took the initiative to kiss her under the influence of alcohol.
Perhaps it was because this love was so hard to hide, but when he touched her lips, he was out of control. His reason had long been destroyed by alcohol, and he had long been immersed in her beauty. Her lips were very soft and delicate. It has a light sweetness that makes you addictive with just a touch.
At this moment, Han Yixiao had long forgotten that the person under him was a man in his heart. He obviously liked her very much, but he had to work hard to endure it. He saw her hanging in front of him every day, but he had to keep a distance from her. Her voice and appearance His smile was so charming, but he deliberately distanced himself from her. He was afraid that he would misunderstand her and miss her life. He could only endure the love in his heart. But at this moment, he couldn't think about anything else and only wanted to be with her. Having more, I just want to satisfy the needs and desires in my heart at this moment.
His kiss was crazy and urgent, completely different from his usual personality. I didn't expect him to be so impulsive and lose his mind.
But his kiss was so fascinating and addictive. Bai Jiu had already fallen into his kiss and couldn't extricate herself.
They hugged each other and kissed each other passionately, their lips and teeth intertwined, and their breathing became more and more rapid.
When both of them are in love, how can a man be satisfied with just this one kiss
Han Yixiao's hands wandered down her body uncontrollably. Her body was so soft, not as strong and strong as a man's. It was as soft as water, stroking her beautiful shoulders, little by little. Looking down, her curves are very attractive. When she is pressed under her, she does not feel like she is pressing down on a man. It feels like she is a woman under her, with a soft body, a nice fragrance, and that white and tender body. Her skin, her seductive breathing, all look like that of a woman. Why is God teasing people like this? Why not let her be born as a girl
Han Yixiao didn't want to think about this. He just wanted to follow his heart. He was really controlled by the wine in his body and couldn't extricate himself. They said that wine makes people cowardly. Maybe he is not a coward on the battlefield. But when it comes to Bai Jiu's feelings, he is a coward. Normally, he doesn't dare to express his feelings and can only try his best to hide and suppress them. But at this moment, he can't control himself and doesn't want to suppress it.
The kiss didn't stop, getting more and more intense, as if he wanted to swallow her into his belly. The big palm touching her body became slightly stronger, as if to punish her for not having a male body. When the big palm came At her waist, the fingers hesitated for a moment before reaching out to untie her belt.
