At the same time, Mrs. Yulan was also talking to her daughter in another magnificent courtyard of Duke Xu's mansion.
As Xu Guogong's favorite concubine for decades, Mrs. Yulan has her own beauty, so I don't need to elaborate. But now, although she is in her forties, she is still like a girl in her twenties,
Different from Princess Jin's secrecy, Concubine Xu can be much more frank. There is really no way, the road is chosen by oneself, and now he is beaten to death, and he can't blame others. No, as soon as she returned to Beijing, she hurried back to ask her mother for advice. In Xu Yueru's eyes, her mother is the most capable person, there is nothing she can't do.
"Say you're stupid, but you always argue with your mother. Even though you know what you're doing this trip, why do you fight with others? What did your mother teach you, when others are in the limelight, never With the idea of stealing the limelight, it will make your face covered in blood. Whenever a person is in the limelight, there must be a certain reason. Just like your father, if one day he goes to the main courtyard very frequently, mother will never give up. If you don't interfere, there must be a reason for him to go. If you go against him, you are looking for death.
"You need to know what men like in women? Appearance, body? Both! But what they like most is women's wit and suppleness, which will give them a great sense of accomplishment and vanity. Of course, it's not that you are not allowed to do it, It's about looking at the right timing, aiming at the opponent's loopholes, and hitting it with one blow. And you stupid bastard, instead of joining forces with the opponent, you fought with them, and you forgot about Xu Yanru's dog in the water. Hit the dog in the water You don’t even know how, what do you say you’re not stupid?!”
Concubine Xu was so scolded by Mrs. Yulan that she couldn't lift her head. Don't look at her mother's gentle and watery appearance on the outside, she is also flattering in front of her father, but it's not like that in private.
She whispered: "My daughter is also in a hurry..."
"Why are you in a hurry? Xu Yanru is not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry? Why did your mother tell you before you went that Jin Wang is not close to women, and is very indifferent to it. Now that you understand, you have to be patient. Now someone broke Mouth, you only need to wait for a while to enjoy the benefits, there is no rush."
"I..." Concubine Xu looked annoyed and knew that she had made a wrong move, "What should my daughter do now?"
"Wait!" After finishing speaking, Mrs. Yulan said again: "Everyone's firewood is high, so add a few more fires to her. Some people can't bear to be praised. If you praise her more, she will not know her name." Who, if you do it a few more times, men will naturally be discarded like trash."
This is Mrs. Yulan's experience. She has been with Xu Guogong for many years, and Xu Guogong didn't just spoil her alone.
"You have to remember that people must know how to follow the trend. If there is a trend, you follow it, and if it loses it, you step on it. Either you don't step on it, or you step on it, and you step on it to death."
Qianqing Palace, Imperial Study Room.
Emperor Hongjing looked at the tall and handsome son in front of him, and said: "You have entered the palace several times in a row, just to ask for a title for your concubine?"
King Jin stood under it, always as still as a mountain, calm and introverted, with a cold temperament on his body, but respectful.
"When she was in her boudoir, she had an affair with my minister. At that time, when the Tatars raided, my minister rushed to the frontier fortress after receiving the news, and neglected to arrange her. When I went to look for her again, I couldn't find her. When I met her again, She had already given birth to a child for her son, and was disgusted by her family, so she entered the palace as a servant to support herself and her children. Although she came from a low family background, her family background was clean, but the minister neglected her name for her own pleasure. Divide."
Emperor Hongjing pondered for a moment, then glanced at King Jin: "Father is very pleased that you can have a queen. But you should know about the impeachment of you by the imperial censor before. Don't do it again. Bring that child into the palace and let me have a look. .”
"yes."
The king of Jin left the Qianqing gate and walked all the way to the outside of the palace gate. When he reached the Jingyun gate, several people came to meet him.
The leader was dressed in the uniform of the prince of vermilion, tall and tall, walking like a dragon and walking like a tiger, very heroic, followed by two young eunuchs, who was the king of Lu who had just been punished for a few days.
King Lu was irritable by nature and had a violent temper. When he was enfeoffing the land, it was reported from time to time that he indulged in killing for money to serve the army and civilians, which aroused public resentment. Emperor Hongjing also sent orders to reprimand him from time to time, but within a few days, he would revert to his old ways. What people never expected was that this time he actually brought the same set in Luzhou to the capital, flogging the court officials at will.
It is true that no one dared to tell King Lu about his situation, but the two injured officials had both reported their leave. Now that Honglu Temple is short of manpower, this matter naturally reached the ears of Emperor Hongjing.
Emperor Hongjing was so angry that he rewarded him with ten lashes without even taking a picture with his son. Seeing that King Lu is like this, it seems that there is nothing wrong. This trip is probably to ask for another visit.
King Jin ranked fifth, and King Lu ranked sixth. Even if you want to pretend not to see it, this ceremony is indispensable.
"Fifth Brother." King Lu stopped and cupped his hands perfunctorily.
King Jin was never a talkative person, so he nodded and walked over.
King Lu snorted and continued to walk forward, talking to the little eunuch beside him: "I heard that my fifth brother seems to have a son?"
"Well, how does the slave know about this kind of thing."
King Lu kicked over, "Look at what use you have."
The eunuch was kicked on all fours, and King Lu had already walked away. The little eunuch pretended to lie there rubbing his stomach, and then got up when he was far away, and spat: "When I rarely serve you, it's because I didn't read the almanac when I went out today, and you ran into me!"
While grunting in his mouth, he ran away from the corner of the wall.
The morning light is twilight, and the east is pale, with a hint of orange.
A look at today is a good weather.
Yaoniang opened her eyes, and when she lowered her head, she saw the big slender palm on her stomach. There is a snort on the top of the head, but it is King Jin. Every time Yaoniang wakes up, she will find that the two of them are in such a posture. Before going to sleep, they are sleeping separately.
She was still in place, but King Jin squeezed in from the outside, so he took her place. He also blamed her for getting into his arms, and he didn't think about how he got into his arms with such a big belly.
Yaoniang lay there quietly, thinking for a while, until the top of her head moved, she didn't move.
King Jin sat up and shook the red gold rattle on the head of the bed. Yuchan quickly brought someone in and helped them wash and change their clothes. King Jin cleaned up first, and went to morning exercises as a routine, while Yaoniang had to dawdle for a while.
The red silk brought some clothes, Yao Niang always looked dissatisfied, not because she was picky, but because this was her first time entering the palace, she always hoped that everything would be done properly. It's too ostentatious, and it's not good if it's too plain, because it will damage King Jin's face.
In the end, she chose a snow-blue double-breasted double-breasted jacket with cloud and water patterns and a light blue twelve-panel skirt, and asked Yuchan to help her put them on.
Yaoniang is pregnant now, but overall she is not fat. The six-month-old belly was on her body, like a small basin, because the clothes were placed on the waist, but the waist was not bloated, but the face and breasts were plump than before when she was not pregnant. But the complexion is better than that time, the pink light is greasy, rosy in the white.
The red silk helped her comb the butterfly bun loosely. At the end of the bun, a red gold dotted emerald ruyi hairpin was inserted obliquely, and a gold silk butterfly love flower inlaid with green emerald beads was picked out.
Here, Hongdie came with a large box of foreign lacquer and inlaid mother-of-pearl peonies, and opened the same color of purses, jade pendants, and skirt pendants inside, two of which were hung on Yaoniang's waist with red silk. Hongfei holds a square box with the same color pattern, which contains bracelets of various colors, and asks Yaoniang to choose.
Yaoniang picked out a green jade bracelet, it was originally a pair, but she only brought one. She never wears these things, she is afraid of breaking them, and she is too lazy to wear them.
After Yaoniang tidied up and dressed up, breakfast was also set up.
King Jin walked in from the outside, sat down beside her, and glanced at her: "It's too plain."
really!
Yaoniang sighed in her heart. Only when she is dressed up in golden light and is gorgeous, he will feel that she is not plain.
"It's not plain, don't you think it looks good?"
King Jin looked at it carefully, his eyes darkened a little, and he nodded after a long time.
"Since it looks good, it's fine."
After breakfast, Yaoniang went to clean up Xiaobao again.
This is also Xiaobao's first time entering the palace, so naturally he has to dress up properly.
After dawdling all the way to the main courtyard, people came to urge her, so Yaoniang hurriedly brought people to meet in the main courtyard, while King Jin went to the front courtyard.
Today is the day when the female relatives of the Prince Jin's Mansion meet with the Queen, and the sign has already been handed over, but Queen Wei has been busy with palace affairs recently, so it was decided for today. Not only the Prince Jin's Mansion, but also all the family members of the vassal prince's family who came to Beijing will be here. Yaoniang learned the news yesterday, so she was very nervous.
King Jin rode a horse, and all the female relatives divided into three carts, surrounded by many guards, and headed for the palace.
When they arrived at Xuanwu Gate, everyone got off the carriage one by one, and King Jin also got off his horse.
Passing through the imperial garden and approaching Kunning Palace, King Jin took Xiaobao from Yuchan, and he wanted to take Xiaobao to Qianqing Palace first.
He didn't speak, but just glanced at Yaoniang and Yuchan next to him.
Yuchan barely nodded her head.
It stands to reason that women with foreign orders cannot bring personal maids when they enter the palace, but Yaoniang's situation is different from hers, she is pregnant with Liujia, and it is the first time to enter the palace, so she brought Yuchan here.
King Jin left soon, and Princess Jin, headed by Princess Jin, entered the Kunning Gate, waiting to be summoned inside.
Soon a court lady came to welcome them in, and they were led to the main hall by the maids all the way. The eyes were full of royal style and majesty.
On the first phoenix seat is Empress Wei.
The queen was dressed in a bright yellow Yanju uniform and a crown of six dragons and three phoenixes on her head. She was a little old, but it could be seen that she was beautiful when she was young. Accompanied by the Crown Princess Wu Shi, and several other noble ladies, all of different ages, some are dignified and graceful, some are generous, some are delicate and beautiful, but the one who attracts the most attention is one of them. woman.
This woman had a jade face and vermilion lips, and slender crescent eyebrows. Her eyebrows and eyes were as delicate and colorful as those painted in ink. They were bright and radiant, with an aggressive aura that made people dare not look directly at them.
Especially at this time when she was talking to the queen, she suddenly raised her eyebrows and smiled, like a hundred flowers blooming, or a hundred birds coming, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Princess Jin's delicate body shook.
And Yaoniang kept her head down, afraid that she would make a mistake, but she didn't notice this scene.
At this time, the people in the palace also saw the female relatives of Jin Wang's family, and they were about to cast their eyes on everyone, and the noble lady looked over, first narrowing her red phoenix eyes, and then raising her brows lightly, but her eyes were fixed on Jin Wangfei body, curling his lips into a smile.
"Mother, the fifth brother's family is here." Her voice was not soft or soft like ordinary women, but had a strange hoarseness. It's so special, you won't forget it.
Yaoniang looked up subconsciously, and happened to see the other party's face.
What a beautiful woman, she sighed inwardly.
