For this little concubine, Yongruo, all the complicated ceremonies on Princess Longqing's wedding day had nothing to do with her.
She was only in charge of entering the palace to attend the wedding banquet, having a big meal, and by the way adding a little excitement and joy to the palace that had been silent for a long time.
At the last make-up ceremony, the princess looked at her with admiration.
At this palace banquet, many noble ladies also admired her, toasted each other, held hands and talked with her, as if they had been best friends for many years.
Therefore, Yongruo's plan to "make a fortune" through palace banquets went smoothly.
She absorbed all the sterilizing drugs in the women's bodies that she could touch, and her points increased by more than 20,000 points.
It can be expected that in the next period of time, those women who have been sterilized will be pregnant one after another in the capital.
Will those underground businesses that sell sterilization pills get bad reviews and ask for refunds from customers one after another
If there are too many such things, will they jump out and investigate the cause in order to maintain their business reputation
These people are doing illegal business.
If too many complaints are made, the likelihood that they will be tipped off increases. If they jump around by themselves, the chances of exposure will be greatly increased.
If it attracts the attention of the government, it may be possible to wipe out some evil forces while the current emperor is still in power.
It is said that before the current emperor came to the throne, he did such a thing mercilessly, destroying many illegal dens that produced and sold sterilization drugs.
After Princess Longqing's wedding, Feng Liao rested for another two days.
These two days, he concentrated on teaching Yong Ruo how to ride a horse.
The race track in the garden has not been sorted out yet.
Yong Ruo still can only ride on the horse and walk around like a walk. But for a beginner like her, it was enough.
Two days later, Feng Liao came back from the palace and told Yongruo that he had received the third mission entrusted to him by the emperor—worshiping the ancestral mausoleum.
It is said that the emperor recently dreamed of Tai`zu and Tai`zong. He guessed that the ancestors missed their descendants and sent Feng Liao to the ancestral mausoleum to offer sacrifices to show their filial piety.
"Don't worry! I'm just going to pay homage to a mausoleum and talk to my ancestors. Although I've been busy, it's not dangerous..." Feng Liao comforted Yong Ruo.
Yong Ruo didn't say anything, but felt that Feng Liao's expression was a little unnatural. She felt that it might be true that Feng Liao went to sacrifice the mausoleum, but he might not have told herself the whole truth.
"I see!" She smiled at Feng Liao, "You must be careful outside! Especially pay attention to the safety of food and drinking water. Do you still remember the disease prevention knowledge I told you before? "
Since he wants to hide it from her, why should she be too smart
"Of course I remember! I remember everything Ruoruo told me!"
"If you remember, you must do it! The water must be boiled before drinking, and the food must be cooked before eating..." After repeating the basic hygiene knowledge, she said in a low tone, "Actually, it doesn't matter what you are I will inevitably worry about errands at home. If you know that I am worried, you should take good care of yourself... "
After exhorting some precautions, Yong Ruo ordered the maids to pack Feng Liao's luggage.
In addition to a change of clothes and daily necessities, various emergency medicines must also be brought.
Yong Ruo really wanted to exchange some high-end medicine from Luluo, and bring Feng Liao with him for self-defense.
Ke Lulu told her: "The 'medicine' exchanged from me has a shelf life of only one day!"
"Are you kidding? How can there be medicine with a shelf life of only one day?"
Lulu said confidently: "My 'medicines' just look like pills, they are not real pills! Have you ever seen a pill that melts in the mouth and the person doesn't feel like taking it?"
Yong Ruo was speechless.
The night before departure, Feng Liao pulled Yong Ruo to the dressing table, just like the night of the wedding, untied her hair with his own hands, and combed her hair with a comb.
After Yong Ruo's hair was combed, he sat in front of the dressing table and asked Yong Ruo to untangle and comb his hair.
After the hair of both of them was combed smoothly, Feng Liao picked up a pair of scissors, cut off a small strand of hair from each of them, tied them together and tied them in a knot, and stuffed them into the hair that Yong Ruo gave to him when he went to the hot spring village. In the purse, the purse is fastened.
He put the purse on the dressing table for the time being, picked up the scissors again, and twisted a strand of their respective hair, still entangled and tied a knot, and handed it to Yong Ruo.
"Ruo Ruo, I really miss you..." He said bitterly, "Since I can't be by your side every day, let's tie our hair together and bring each of us by our side to relieve lovesickness." !"
Yong Ruo stretched out his hand slowly, and took over the strand of tangled hair, the words "couple with hair tied" suddenly flashed in his mind.
As a modern person who often cuts his hair, Yong Ruo originally did not have such a delicate and elegant mind to associate tangled hair with love.
But at this moment, her heart suddenly felt abnormally soft, and she felt that there was an indescribable tenderness in the strand of hair that could no longer be separated from each other.
She wrapped the lock of hair carefully with a handkerchief, pinched it in her hands, and said to Feng Liao with a smile: "I will also make a pouch later, pack it up, and carry it with me every day."
"Then you must make a purse that is a pair with me!" Feng Liao's eyes were slightly red.
He took the purse with the hair of two people on the dressing table, raised it to his nose, closed his eyes and sniffed.
It was a round purse the color of taupe, embroidered with a pattern of broken red plum blossoms.
Looking at his actions, Yong Ruo felt a stuffy and swollen feeling in his heart.
"Okay! Just make a couple!" She said with a smile.
When she had sex with Yong Ruo that night, Feng Liao was extremely gentle and considerate, extremely patient and delicate.
He put Yong Ruo who "comes and goes without any worries" on the bed, traced every point of her outline with his fingertips, and comforted every inch of her skin...
Yong Ruo had an unprecedented sense of comfort.
This kind of comfort comes from the surging passion, the pleasure produced by neurotransmitters, and the intimacy of the integration of body and mind, as if the souls of both parties had met for a short time.
The next day, Yong Ruo got up early in the morning and sent Feng Liao out.
Feng Liao held her in her arms and held her for a long time. Then he kissed her heavily on her lips, and said with a smile: "Stay well at home and wait for me to come back! If there is anything, go to the princess for help."
Yong Ruo nodded: "Don't worry! What can I do at home? You should always be careful outside!"
Feng Liao took a deep breath and showed a big smile: "Don't worry! I will be careful!" He whispered in her ear, "For you, I will be more careful!"
After kissing Yong Ruo again, he no longer hesitated, turned around and strode out the door.
Yong Ruo silently watched his leaving back, tightly pinching the veil that wrapped the lock of hair in his hand, suddenly felt a little empty in his heart, and wanted to cry.
I really don't like the feeling of saying goodbye!
She thought bitterly in her heart, and walked back to her yard and her room with heavy steps.
"Bring a needle and thread!" she said stiffly to the girls.
On the first day after Feng Liao left, Yong Ruo devoted himself to making purses.
Lunch was just a little casually. I was hungry at night, so I ate more and felt full. Continue to make purses after eating.
The girls urged her to go to bed several times, but she just pretended not to hear.
I was busy until the third watch, and the purse was finally ready. It is also a round purse with red plum blossoms embroidered in the color of lotus root, only the direction of the flowers is different from that of Fengliao.
She took out the lock of hair from the handkerchief, stuffed it into the purse, tied the mouth of the purse tightly, and held the purse tightly in her hands.
After a long time, she let out a long sigh, yawned and told the girls to put away the sewing boxes, wash up and go to bed.
Touching the vacant bed and pillow beside her, she thought with some melancholy in her heart: I don't know where Fengliao is at this time, but she fell asleep
On the second day after Feng Liao left, Yong Ruo rode a horse for a walk in the garden in the morning, read a book in the afternoon, and took another hour to practice drawing.
In the evening, she had a high-intensity workout, ran about three kilometers along the garden, and did fifty crunches, 20 sets of planks, and 20 push-ups, until she was exhausted.
Hua Rou, Yu Jing and the others were terrified when they saw it, and tried to persuade them again and again: "Madam, don't torment yourself like this anymore! The prince will be back soon!"
Yong Ruo collapsed on the carpet like a dead dog, and sneered disdainfully: "Who says I'm torturing myself? I'm clearly trying to strengthen my body!" Strictly order the girls not to talk nonsense, let alone gossip!
On the third day, she spent 20 points to let Zhuozhuo help her eliminate the soreness in her body, and continued to repeat the activities of the second day.
On the fourth day, she went to Prince Ying's Mansion to greet Dowager Shen. When she heard the sour words of Princess Xing'an, she didn't even bother to answer them.
On the fifth day, Princess Longqing invited her to visit the mansion. By the way, she checked the progress of her painting study, and highly affirmed Yongruo's seriousness and talent.
She told Yongruo about the next stage of the course, and assigned homework for Yongruo to go back and practice more.
On the sixth and seventh days, Yong Ruo continued to repeat the activities of the second day.
On the eighth day, Princess Longqing paid a return visit to Hengjun Palace.
"I heard that your family is building large-scale projects?" Princess Longqing asked.
Then she followed Yong Ruo, wandered around the garden of Hengjun Prince's Mansion, and saw the horse racing track that was already in seven or eight minutes, and couldn't help but be speechless.
"You should be more courageous! When I was young, I also wanted to learn to ride a horse. But my father put me on the horse's back for a while, and I was so scared that I couldn't stop crying. I never wanted to learn to ride a horse anymore. .”
Naturally, Yong Ruo would not encourage Princess Longqing to learn how to ride a horse again, otherwise, if something goes wrong, the Emperor and Empress would have to swallow her alive
She said lightly: "I am naturally bolder and stronger than other girls. When I was a child, I was raised by my parents as a son for several years! I envy the princess, she is gentle, looking at It's more like a daughter's house. How is it like me? If I don't restrain myself and pretend to be gentle, I will look like a tomboy, and I don't look like it."
Princess Longqing sized her up and down with great interest: "You look like this now, have you restrained yourself, or haven't you restrained yourself?"
"Naturally, it has been restrained."
"Then what did you look like when you never restrained yourself? Quickly show your true colors and let this princess take a look!"
Yong Ruo shook his head resolutely: "I'd better show it to the princess when I have a chance in the future! Otherwise, wouldn't all my pretentious efforts be wasted?"
When eating together at noon, Princess Longqing said slightly distressed: "I've only seen the son-in-law twice after being married for so many days! Sometimes I really want to see the son-in-law and talk to him, but I don't dare to summon him rashly, I'm afraid Others say that I can't live without men, that I'm not dignified enough, that I'm not royally dignified..."
In Yong Ruo's heart, she slightly sympathized with her.
The marriage between the princess and the consort is slightly different from that of ordinary couples.
The son-in-law does not live in his own house, but in the front yard of the princess mansion, and the princess herself lives in the inner courtyard.
If the son-in-law wants to see the princess, he must first apply to the princess, and only after getting approval can he enter the inner courtyard. If the princess wanted to summon her son-in-law, it would be more convenient, but young girls in this era are thin-skinned, who would have the nerve to summon her son-in-law every day
In the general environment where men are superior to women, such a relationship between husband and wife is easy to make men feel awkward. If there are fewer opportunities to meet each other, the relationship between husband and wife will be even weaker.
And this is normal.
If there are still those diabolical slaves obstructing and provoking one or two, the husband-wife relationship between the princess and the son-in-law will be even more difficult to describe.
What Princess Longqing is facing now is the common problem that her aunts and great-aunts have all encountered.
"Dignity is for outsiders to see. When a husband and wife get along with each other, if they say something so vulgar, they take off each other's clothes. What's the point of being dignified?"
Princess Longqing laughed when she heard this, her cheeks turned red immediately, she covered her face and giggled: "It really is so vulgar!"
"Although it is vulgar, it is also the most reasonable thing in the world. Otherwise, how did the princess think those children were born? From my humble opinion, when the princess and the concubine get along, you might as well forget each other's identities—you are just a little girl, and the concubine is also Just your husband. It might be more comfortable to talk and act more casually."
Princess Longqing nodded thoughtfully: "That makes sense! You just need to take care of the maids around you, and don't let them go outside to gossip. Who knows how I get along with my son-in-law?"
Seeing that she understood quickly, Yong Ruo didn't teach her how to find excuses.
According to Feng Liao: This son-in-law was selected by the emperor. The son-in-law and the princess have also seen each other, and they have a good impression of each other, so they made a marriage contract.
It can be said that the foundation of the relationship between Princess Longqing and her son-in-law is still very good. As long as they get along well with each other after marriage, the possibility of becoming a loving couple is very high.
On the twelfth day after Feng Liao left, the horse racing track in the back garden of the Prince Heng's Mansion was finally repaired.
The horse racing track built around the Humble Garden is about three meters wide and can easily accommodate two or three horses walking side by side. The ground was covered with loess and grass seeds were also scattered. Of course, whether these grasses can grow up depends on the frequency of use of this horse racing track.
Yong Ruo estimated that a lap along the horse path would take about two to three kilometers.
Yong Ruo began to practice riding on the horse racing track. Jiao Zhu had a bitter face, and led several young eunuchs who could ride horses, hugging and protecting her, lest something unexpected happen to her.
But Yong Ruo has exchanged for advanced physique optimization, and her skills are many times more flexible than them, and she is very careful, so her equestrian skills have improved rapidly, and there has been no mistake from the beginning to the end.
What surprised Yong Ruo was Hua Rou—she could also ride a horse.
It is said that the old lady she was with before entering Hengjun Palace was a person who loved horses very much. She was very good at riding when she was young, and she could still ride a horse for a walk when she was old.
In order to curry favor with the old lady and get her reuse, Huarou once practiced horse riding hard. It's just that after entering the Hengjun Prince's Mansion, she has never touched a horse again. She is a little unfamiliar and needs to practice again.
While Yong Ruo was admiring Hua Rou, he was also a little curious about the old lady who could ride a horse.
What kind of person is she
The 14th day after Feng Liao left is the Dragon Boat Festival.
Yongruo, on behalf of Hengjun Palace, entered the palace to receive the Dragon Boat Festival banquet.
This time, she was legally bound by Princess Longqing, greatly expanded her social circle, and absorbed a large number of sterilization drugs.
Her point balance is already more than 40,000 points. There was a very solid feeling in her heart.
Time soon entered June.
Feng Liao has been away for more than a month, and there is no news at all.
Yong Ruo felt that his guess at the time was correct: offering sacrifices to the mausoleum was just a cover, and Feng Liao actually went on other errands.
And that errand left him with no chance to send a letter back.
On the sixth day of June, the weather was fine.
Yong Ruozheng directs the maids to dry the quilts and books. Fengliao's personal eunuch, Xiaoguizi, returns in a hurry and brings back a very bad news.
