The fragrance of osmanthus in August fills the whole yard with the fragrance of osmanthus.
Cui Wenxi had not seen her since her last trip to Pingyang due to the cold. Today she came to visit and talked about opening a medical clinic and came to collect donations.
Cui Wenxi felt curious and asked: "You are so good, why are you thinking about opening a medical clinic?"
Pingyang picked up the tea bowl and said, "Since I went back that day, I have thought for a long time that I could no longer be so depressed and wanted to find something to do.
“The lives of those in Changnanfang are indeed not easy, but if we don’t help the poor, I won’t be able to save them for a long time. But it would be good to open a free clinic to solve their daily problem of seeing a doctor.”
Cui Wenxi agreed with this statement, "Those people don't dare to get sick. Once they get sick, they will be completely destroyed."
Pingyang: "I've thought about it. The free clinic can diagnose and treat daily ailments such as headaches, brain fever, bruises, scalds, and burns. As for difficult and complicated diseases, it cannot be cured. Although it is a drop in the bucket, it can at least treat the usual illnesses. The pain is taken care of."
Cui Wenxi nodded, "That's not bad." After a pause, "How many medical clinics like this do you plan to open?"
Pingyang: "Initially we will open three stores, and renting a small shop is enough. I also asked my mother-in-law to do it a while ago. After it is completed, I will take turns to select one of the doctors from the Tai Hospital to go to the clinic. On the first day of every month On the first and fifteenth day, I will pay you the salary, and I will only prescribe the medicine but not fill it up."
Cui Wenxi was happy, "That's good, I guess there will be many people queuing up to ask for prescriptions."
Pingyang also laughed, "I'm not asking for donations from every family. Let's start with the clan. So far, we have collected more than 800 coins." He added, "As for you, please collect some for me too."
Cui Wenxi: "I have just divorced and many accounts have not been sorted out, so I will collect fifty guan for you first. If your medical center can really implement it, I will continue to collect it for you later."
Pingyang was very happy, patted her hand and said: "Fifty guan is not a small amount, thank you for being willing to give it up."
Cui Wenxi gave her an idea and said: "You can ask for more from Prince Qing's Mansion. I made a lot of money for your Uncle Fourth Emperor in the past. He is not short of money."
Pingyang covered his mouth and smiled.
Cui Wenxi gave Fang Ling a jade token and asked her to go to the accounting room to get fifty coins.
For poor people, fifty guan is not a small sum of money. It can already cover a family's expenses for several years. After all, a bucket of rice only costs 6 cents.
Pingyang had lunch here at noon, and continued to collect donations in the afternoon.
After seeing her off, the master and servant returned to the courtyard. Fang Ling said with a smile: "Princess Pingyang's energy is much better today, and there is light in her eyes. She is not as confused as before, and her whole body is full of energy."
Cui Wenxi said happily: "It's great that she can do good deeds. I hope that the days to come will be smoother and happier."
Fang Ling: "It's a good thing that my wife was able to do it and was so cruel that she was able to wake her up."
Cui Wenxi stroked his sleeves and said, "If it were someone else, I wouldn't bother to worry so much about wishing them well."
As soon as the two of them entered the wing, they saw an invitation sent by the servant. It was originally a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet sent by the palace.
Zhao Yue had mentioned this before, so Cui Wenxi was not surprised. Fang Ling said: "The King Qing is probably here at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet. My wife is gone, will you feel uncomfortable?"
Cui Wenxi smiled and lowered his voice: "Wouldn't it be more interesting this way? Isn't it interesting to be unclear with the prince in private in front of so many people?"
Fangling: "..."
Really good at seeking death!
Cui Wenxi put the invitation on the table and said, "If this matter comes out, Prince Qing will probably be angry to death."
Fang Ling: "Queen Ma will probably bring misfortune to her family."
Cui Wenxi: "..."
Fangling, you are so funny.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for family reunion. Cui Wenxi could not return to her parents' home on August 15th, so she went back to visit her mother-in-law a day early, bringing cloth, bird's nests and other items.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the house, Jin grabbed her hand and entered the wing room, gossiping: "Did Yuanniang hear about it?"
Cui Wenxi: "???"
Jin said: "I heard yesterday that Prince Qing's concubine gave birth."
Cui Wenxi was stunned and said in surprise: "You gave birth so soon?"
Kim: "???"
Cui Wenxi explained: "I remember Dr. Qin once said that the due date is around the end of autumn and early winter. It is only the Mid-Autumn Festival now, more than a month early, so it should be premature." He asked again, "Are mother and child safe?"
Jin nodded and said sourly: "I heard that she was born prematurely and gave birth to a big fat boy, which made Prince Qing extremely happy."
Cui Wenxi didn't like it and said happily: "He should be congratulated. He got what he wanted. It will be a great joy for Prince Qing's palace to continue to be popular in the future."
Jin curled his lips and pinched her, "You don't like it either."
Cui Wenxi: "How can I care about the past?" He added, "If I really couldn't let him go, why did I jump out of Prince Qing's Mansion in the first place? Now we are parting ways. He goes his way, and I go my way." The single-plank bridge is pretty good.”
Jin said unhappily: "It makes me unhappy to think about it, and it always feels like a lump in my throat."
Cui Wenxi was not in the mood to mention Prince Qing, so he changed the topic and said, "There will be a family dinner in the palace tomorrow. The invitations have been sent. I will not go back to my parents' house for the reunion. I will come over today to accompany my grandma."
Jin frowned, "Did the palace send you a message?"
Cui Wenxi nodded.
Jin worriedly said, "Prince Qing will definitely go too. Now that he is so proud of himself, how will you deal with it then?"
Cui Wenxi smiled and said, "Why should I care about him?" He added, "Yongning and Pingyang will take care of my face and will not embarrass me."
"Having said that, but..."
"Don't worry, Mom, I will take care of it myself."
Afraid of upsetting her, Jin had no choice but to give up.
Cui Wenxi stayed overnight at the Duke's Mansion that night, and did not return to Changlingfang until the afternoon of the next day.
The house slave prepared hot water for her to bathe and wash herself. Now that the weather is dry, she needs to use balm to nourish her skin. When Cui Wenxi applied it, she couldn't help pinching her white and smooth calves. She couldn't help but think of the feeling of touching Zhao Yue's body. Feeling a little jealous.
It's really strange that she can be jealous of a man.
That guy was only six years younger than her, but he felt really good to the touch. His abdominal muscles were firm, strong and elastic. The hair on his body was not heavy. He felt slippery to the touch, just like a small stove. He was simply warm in winter. Excellent bed.
She didn't have any love for him, but she was really greedy for his body.
After all, who would reject such a young man who is full of vitality
After putting on her undergarment, Fang Ling wrung her hair, which was as smooth as black silk and spread out. The crane-patterned robe covered her body loosely. She had a tall figure, graceful and graceful, and her whole body was full of charm.
The weather is getting cold now, so you need to wear jackets. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Cui Wenxi chose a red robe with peony patterns. The collar and cuffs were embroidered with luxurious gold threads. The material was thick and of good quality.
A bun is thrown on the bun, with a velvet flower inserted on each side of the bun, and a cloud-patterned jade comb pinned to the center of the bun. The makeup is also slightly richer than before, making the face look peach-shaped.
After everything was ready, it was getting late, so Fang Ling helped Cui Wenxi get into the carriage and went to the imperial city.
Many relatives of the clan have gathered in the Chaoyang Palace. The Qing Wang family has a happy event. They are refreshed and smiling all the time. It can be seen that they are happy from the bottom of their hearts.
He didn't have a child until so many years after his marriage. Naturally, the other clan members talked about the same topic. Empress Ma was also discussing this matter. Pingyang said to Yongning with some worry: "I don't know if Chang Yue will come later." how to think."
Yong Ning: "It's a waste of worry. If she feels shameless, she probably won't even come."
In fact, Zhao Chengyan did not expect to see Cui Wenxi at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet. After all, they had reconciled, and the Cui family had been removed from the genealogy. It was said that they no longer belonged to the Zhao family at all. Who would have thought that Queen Ma would also remove her? Invited.
No, Zhao Chengyan was quite surprised when he learned that Cui Wenxi had come to Chaoyang Palace. She arrived very late. She first met Empress Ma and other elders before entering the main hall.
The girl was as dignified and elegant as ever. She looked decent wherever she went and always attracted attention.
Zhao Chengyan couldn't help but cast his eyes on her.
The two of them had not seen each other for a long time since they divorced. He couldn't understand how a woman who had left the Zhao family could have the dignity to hold such a family dinner again, and on top of the fact that he was blessed with a son. It was not that she was unhappy. What
I thought she would avoid it, but Cui Wenxi didn't feel embarrassed at all. She bowed to him generously and said, "I heard that Shiro was blessed with a son two days ago. It is indeed a great joy. Yuanniang congratulates her here." ”
Xu Shi had already separated, but he treated the other party more tolerantly and never had a falling out when they reconciled. Zhao Chengyan said with a pleasant smile, "We can't talk about your son. It's a good thing that our long-cherished wish has come true." He paused and said, "I don't know about this. Is the Japanese girl okay?"
Cui Wenxi replied: "Everything is fine."
I don’t know if it was the man’s pride or other reasons, but he felt a sense of superiority and ridicule, and deliberately asked: “I heard that the Yushitai Gao family once came to propose marriage?”
Cui Wenxi narrowed his eyes and replied, "That's true."
Zhao Chengyan asked shamelessly: "Does Yuan Niang like her?"
Cui Wenxi couldn't help but feel happy, and joked in a half-truthful tone: "Look at Shiro's little thoughts. If I say you can take a look at it, you will definitely say that I have poor eyesight. I can even catch a small fifth-grade product. If I say take a look at it, If not, you must advise me to be more realistic, after all, my situation is there, right?"
Zhao Chengyan coughed twice and defended: "Yuan Niang has thought too much, I just asked casually."
Cui Wenxi said "Oh", touched her pretty face, and said narcissistically: "I'm not interested in old men. I only like young men. It's better if they are under the crown, but they are much more interesting than old men." ”
Zhao Chengyan pointed at her helplessly, "I was probably led astray by my sister."
Cui Wenxi curled his lips.
Just at this time, Zhao Yue and the saint came over together.
Zhao Junqi was dressed in red and yellow regular clothes, while Zhao Yue behind him was dressed in a luxurious purple robe. The traditional cross-collar robe was covered with a large cloak, and he wore a futou on his head, looking old and steady.
The first thing he looked at when he entered the palace was Cui Wenxi. Seeing that she was having a heated fight with her ex-husband, he felt a little bit disgusted.
Seeing that the two of them were talking and laughing, they didn't take him seriously at all, and couldn't help but stare at Cui Wenxi twice, which was full of warning.
Cui Wenxi was blind and chose to ignore it.
Everyone bowed to the saint.
Now everyone is here and everyone is sitting down.
Since Cui Wenxi was once the emperor's aunt, even though they had reconciled, Empress Ma was still very considerate and allowed her to sit next to Yongning, which was obviously a compliment.
Yongning secretly lowered his head and asked, "What were you and the Fourth talking about just now, fighting so fiercely?"
Cui Wenxi laughed at her words, covered her mouth and said, "He asked me if I admired the Gao family."
Yongning said "ouch" and whispered: "What a thief." Then curiously asked, "How did you answer?"
Cui Wenxi replied: "I told him that I like a young man, preferably one who has not yet reached the crown."
Yongning grinned, slapped her quietly, and spat: "You're shameless."
Cui Wenxi also pinched her, "He said I was led astray by you."
Yongning said coquettishly: "You still blame me, am I wronged?"
The empress sat at the top, and the prince sat below them, sitting alone at a table. He couldn't help but secretly glance at Yongning and Zhao Chengyan, who was opposite them.
As if aware of someone's gaze, Cui Wenxi suddenly raised his head and glanced, and his eyes met Zhao Yue's. She turned away without showing any trace, and Zhao Yue asked deliberately: "What are you talking about, so happy?"
Yongning replied: "Erlang is not interested in what the girl said."
Zhao Yue snorted and said with ulterior motives: "I heard that the Fourth Emperor's uncle is happy to have a son. My nephew is here to congratulate me."
Zhao Chengyan responded that Zhao Yue had no intention of listening to what he said. He focused his peripheral vision on Cui Wenxi, trying to pry out her attitude.
As usual, this kind of family banquet has the same process, which is long and boring, but Zhao Yue is very interested because he wants to keep Cui secretly in the palace and prevent her from going back.
Every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival and Lantern Festival, the curfew is lifted in the capital, and all streets can travel unimpeded throughout the night. His courage becomes more and more arrogant. Even though the royal family and relatives are all present, he can't help but make a move, and commits crimes under their noses. die.
If people at the family banquet knew that Cui was related to him, they would all explode.
The kind of relationship full of taboos and dangers is fascinating, secretive and irresistible, exciting and exciting.
At the family banquet, the strings and bamboos were melodious, the people were drinking and drinking, and everyone was saying their blessings, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
Zhao Yue peeked at Cui Wenxi from time to time while watching the dance.
The woman might have deliberately made him unhappy. Although she and Prince Qing had already reconciled, she didn't shy away from each other at all, and she looked pleasant.
Prince Qing was also mean. Even though they had already reconciled, he would still say a few innocuous words to the other party from time to time, which made him unhappy.
Cui Wenxi had actually seen through his thoughts a long time ago. He was a very possessive guy and a young boy after all. Considering that he didn't dare to cause trouble at the family banquet, Cui Wenxi chose to ignore it.
She never thought that that guy was more willing to commit suicide than she was. On a family reunion day like today, the palace would naturally set off fireworks to celebrate.
After watching the unchanging palace dance, the chamberlain came into the palace and said that the fireworks show was going to start outside, and people got up one after another and went out to watch.
Everyone gathered in the stands. At that time, Queen Ma and the saint were standing together, Zhao Yue stood beside Queen Ma, Yongning, Cui Wenxi and others stood behind them, and the other clan members gathered around.
As a rapid sound of breaking wind sounded, the dark sky was exploded by colorful fireworks, and then countless fireworks rushed into the clouds and bloomed one after another.
Fireworks all over the sky lit up the night sky, making the cold full moon noisy until it was covered by a black cloud, as if it felt that the world was too noisy and disturbed its dormancy.
The entire imperial city was deafened, and people were laughing and joking.
The shops in the distance seemed to be responding to this, and they also set off fireworks.
In an instant, explosions were heard everywhere, and colorful colors spread across the sky, clamoring for this peaceful feast on earth.
Cui Wenxi raised his head and watched, loving those short-lived splendors.
However, just as everyone was looking up at the gorgeous fireworks in the distance, a little finger hooked onto her sleeve at some point.
She was stunned, and glanced down, only to see Zhao Yue's back to her, his hands restlessly trying to seduce him.
Cui Wenxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He got angry and slapped Zhao Yue back.
Afraid that someone would notice her little move, she raised her head again and looked up, but she didn't know that after a while, the guy's hand sneakily reached out to flirt with him.
Cui Wenxi felt that that boy was really better at seeking death than she was. He deserved to be beaten for being so dishonest in public.
She bounced out of anger, and Zhao Yue retracted again in pain.
As a result, the guy looked at the thatched cottage three times, and his little finger reached over again and cleverly hooked hers.
Cui Wenxi wanted to withdraw his hand, but he was afraid that the movement would be too big and attract others' attention, so he deliberately retracted it.
So Zhao Yue stood next to Queen Ma and acted like a demon with her hands behind her back, and even scratched Cui Wenxi's fingertips, which was full of provocation.
Cui Wenxi endured the panic and did not dare to make any big move.
There are clans all around her, men, women, old and young, and her ex-husband Prince Qing is also with her. Once her actions attract their attention, I am afraid that all the members around her will become a crowd tonight.
That grandson of Zhao Yue is really good at playing!
