Gu Qingci's eyes widened.
But the cheeks are still puffy.
She felt that her husband was very cold and incomprehensible, and she couldn't help but feel a little depressed and wronged in her heart.
So he said solemnly: "My husband, I am fifteen years old, and I have reached my age."
Li Cheng didn't take it to heart, and relentlessly evaded it. He couldn't help but sighed softly, he is now in his twenties, and his body is particularly vigorous.
I could only pinch and pull the person away, and said in a casual voice: "Don't make trouble, sleep well."
Can Gu Qingci sleep well? Tightening the pillow tightly, she was very annoyed.
Thinking about going on like this, the Li family will definitely have more opinions on her, not to mention the Li family, just because she has been married to the Li family for a long time, it is estimated that outsiders will gossip secretly when they look at her belly.
Even the last time I went back to the mansion, the second wife couldn't help asking, with an anxious look on her face, she asked Gu Qingci why she hadn't moved after so long, and said that she wanted to ask a doctor to look at it for her. Gu Qingci didn't have the nerve to say that her husband-in-law hadn't consummated the house with her, because she was afraid that her mother would faint immediately after hearing this.
But there are too many people to talk about, and she also has a lump in her heart. After all, she fell in love with someone and wanted to get close to him, so she couldn't help being flustered and thinking wildly.
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became, Gu Qingci kicked Li Chengze with his own legs, just like a child.
He turned around again all of a sudden, facing inward, sleeping with his back to Li Chengze, apparently about to vent his anger.
After being bored for a few minutes, seeing that she didn't intend to pay attention to her, she turned around again and hugged Li Chengze's waist.
Gritting his teeth, he was actually reluctant to vent his anger, and wanted to get bored with others for a while, so he surrendered first.
Li Cheng gave her the back, and the girl breathed slowly and slowly, and fell asleep in a short while.
The next day was another sunny day with bright sunshine. In summer, both of them woke up early, and the morning was cool, so they didn't stay in bed.
Gu Qingci slept soundly all night, didn't even have a dream, her face was pink and watery, which was painful.
Li Cheng couldn't help stretching out his hand to squeeze it, it was soft and foamy, and it felt very good.
As soon as the seasons change, the maids make new clothes early. The thin and smooth materials are beautiful and lightweight, and they are all fresh and tender colors that girls and women love.
The two were doing their own thing, suddenly Gu Qingci raised the post in his hand, and ran to whisper to Li Chengze, saying that it was a post for a palace banquet, and they were going there too.
Definitely going, Princess Yan probably wanted to meet Daye and these noble girls who were going to compete with them. The princess looked confident, she didn't feel that she would lose here at all, and she probably wanted to mock the noble lady of Daye.
After all, they knew very well that these women in Daye Dynasty were all delicate and weak, and they had never tried Cu Guoju before, so it was not a worry at all to make a team temporarily.
Li Cheng took a look at the beautiful and delicate post, smiled and said: "Master Hou has a heart, so he sent someone to give it to me early in the morning." a few.
Gu Qingci originally wanted Xiao Jiujiu in her heart, and wanted Li Cheng to accompany her to the welcome banquet, so she deliberately brought it out.
I was a little surprised to hear that he also had a post from his uncle.
So he said very stupidly, "Uncle is really nice to you."
Li Cheng didn't want to correct her, but said that Princess Yan would probably come back to mention the Cuju competition after the banquet, and asked her if she was worried or not.
With Gu Qingci's rough temper, there is nothing to worry about, but he is afraid that if he loses, he will make a fool of himself.
"There are so many people watching, if I lose, I'm afraid I will become the laughing stock of others." Gu Qingci said.
Li Chengze sighed again, he had no choice but to pinch her face in the end.
If you want to ask other girls, you must be worried that the emperor will be unhappy if you lose, it is best not to blame them, Gu Qingci only thinks about embarrassing issues.
The two of them and Feng Rusi had breakfast together.
I ate porridge, steamed eggs, shrimp dumplings, steamed buns, and a few dishes of refreshing side dishes.
Li Cheng checked Feng Rushi's homework in the morning, and went out after finishing it.
Because she had to run an errand, she didn't bring Gu Qingci with her.
The first one went to the book store to find the shopkeeper Fang, and he wrote another novel in his hand, which was still a series of articles from the previous one, with the same subject matter.
When I was in the academy, I wrote whenever I had time, and I have accumulated more than 100,000 words for such a long time. I still bring it here and serialize it in the weekly newspaper.
Boss Fang couldn't help being overjoyed, took the manuscript and read the first chapter, and kept asking for it. And this is exactly what he wanted. Li Cheng is good at writing this kind of subject matter, and he writes it with ease. He already has many people who like it. The second article will follow, so no one will read it. First post bonus.
This is not the first time we have cooperated, and both parties don't have to worry about being cheated and losing money. After submitting the manuscript, they signed the contract smoothly.
The two were also friends, and after finishing their business, Li Cheng went to the teahouse to drink tea with others. He knew that shopkeeper Fang had a lot of contacts, so he asked him about Mr. Xia.
Shopkeeper Fang was surprised for a moment. He knew that Li Chengze had no children, so he asked a lot.
Li Chengze didn't hide anything, he just said that he was a nephew from his hometown, his parents died unexpectedly, his background was poor, and he had nowhere to settle down, so he adopted someone and is now living at home. He also said that he was eight or nine years old, but the lack of a husband might delay the child's studies.
Shopkeeper Fang felt moved, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "I really have a suitable person here. He is a gentleman with good knowledge. He has taken in five or six students at home. They are all from acquaintances' homes, not counting opening a museum." Son. In this way, when you are free, I will take you to meet someone, and we will talk after meeting. If you think it is okay, how about sending that nephew there?"
Li Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, cupped his hands, and complied.
This can be regarded as an acceptance of Shopkeeper Fang's favor. In his situation, it is clear that ordinary students are not accepted.
Simply put, Li Cheng is not a entangled person, he just wants to find a chance to repay the favor in the future.
There will be no free time for these two days, and I will go to a banquet tomorrow, after which there will be a Cuju competition between Gu Qingci and the others. Li Cheng calculated the time, estimated the day, and asked shopkeeper Fang if he would be free that day, and shopkeeper Fang nodded, so he decided on that day, and Li Cheng would just come here directly when the time came.
The prince and princess of Yan Kingdom had met the emperor before and had a small royal banquet, and they were accompanied by important officials that day. Tomorrow's reception banquet is not in the palace, but in the palace in the outer city of Beijing. The palace is built next to the mountain, and the spring water is drawn from the mountain. There is also a large bamboo forest in the back. It is a good place to be warm in winter and cool in summer. Every year, the emperor would bring his concubines to live for half a month when he was free.
It just so happens that the weather is hot right now, and this place is just right. His Majesty the Emperor assigns the work, and the ministers will naturally handle it properly, and it is guaranteed that the country's style will not be lost.
The next day, Li Chengze and Gu Qingci woke up very early, the palace was outside the city, it was a long way from them, so naturally they had to hurry up.
The clothes ordered earlier at the embroidery workshop have been delivered, and they are ready to be worn today.
Gu Qingci dressed more expensively than usual, wearing gold and wearing jade, it looked like she was not a person that ordinary people could raise.
Her face was outstanding, very attractive, and very bright, and the two maids trembled when they saw it.
I thought to myself that there are not many people who can compare with my grandma in appearance.
Li Chengze was amazed at first glance, and couldn't help touching her face.
Gu Qingci smiled and refused to let him touch her, and said coquettishly that someone messed up her makeup.
In fact, she only had a thin layer of powder on her face, and her complexion was already tender and radiant, so it didn't depend on that. The main reason is that in hot weather, she is afraid that if she sweats at noon, she will get sticky, so she doesn't want to put on more makeup.
The carriage traveled for nearly two hours before reaching the other courtyard of the Xinggong Palace. I saw many carriages along the way and forgot to go in the direction of the Xinggong Palace.
Both the eldest wife and wife of Mingde Hou Mansion would go, but the second wife did not. Gu Qingci asked if he did not know if his brother would go or not.
The elder brother in her mouth naturally means Gu Xuan, but Li Cheng thinks he should go.
In fact, he guessed that this kind of formal battle was probably the emperor's intention, so he prepared a lot of posts, not to mention the royal family and many noble marquises, all ministers who only got a little face in the court had to have posts.
It is estimated that the emperor's intention is to make the banquet here bigger, and it happens that young talents and famous women go more, so that it will appear that the great Ye is a powerful country with a lot of talents.
Get off the carriage and enter the palace, and the palace servants will come forward to lead you.
A few days ago, the emperor brought the empress and a concubine in clothes to live in.
At this moment, there will be an endless stream of carriages and horses, and people who know each other will first nod and say hello to each other.
Then the palace people took the man to see the emperor, and the female relatives were brought to the queen's side by the maid.
Both sides paid respects to the emperor and queen, and soon the prince and princess of Yan arrived, and the banquet began, and everyone took their seats.
The garden of the Xinggong Palace is huge, and the emperor and empress sit tall at the top and the bottom left is the desk of Lord Yan, and the opposite right is the princess.
After congratulating the empress.
The emperor called the banquet to begin, and the dancers from below came out in a file, and the music sounded, and the people jumped up slowly.
Although Gu Qingci is the daughter of the Marquis Mansion, her family has long been deprived of grace, so she hasn't participated in the palace banquet much, and now she can't help but sneak a look at the emperor and queen above, feeling majestic.
As expected of a royal palace banquet, although everyone whispered below, they generally restrained themselves and would not make any jokes.
Gu Qingci heard that the emperor was probably talking to Lord Yan, so he also looked over.
Then I found that the prince was very handsome, handsome, personable, and extravagant.
So I couldn't help but look a few more times.
Unexpectedly, when Li Chengze found out, he pinched her earlobe with a big hand, and said in a low voice, "Why are officials so fascinated by watching?"
Gu Qingci blushed, looked away, embarrassed, and said, "No, no, I haven't seen the appearance of the emperor, so I just took a second look." He subconsciously picked up the wine on the table and drank to cover up .
She frowned immediately after drinking a cup, the girl's family usually only drank fruit wine at most, so she drank less of such strong ones.
"What's the hurry, this wine can't be drunk." Li Cheng held the chopsticks and added some vegetables to her bowl, saying, "Hurry up and eat."
Gu Qingci took several mouthfuls before feeling a little better in his stomach.
Some turned to look at Li Chengze pitifully.
Li Cheng laughed, because the occasion was wrong, otherwise he would tease her again.
While they were chatting here, a proud female voice sounded from the front.
"I've heard that the men of the Daye dynasty were all well-educated and talented, and that the daughter's family would never give up to a man. She can be called an eyebrow-sweeping talent. The emperor and I brought a treasure from Yan Kingdom. Today, I will dedicate it to Your Majesty. Let’s enjoy it together.”
Both Li Chengze and Gu Qingci looked up, but they saw that it was Princess Yan.
Her words clearly meant something,
Otherwise, if you offer a treasure, you will offer a treasure. What does the sudden bragging in front of you mean
