After a few days, Su Wang's mansion completely restored the order of Xiangxi, as if the shadow of the death of the maid given by the Queen Mother had become a thing of the past.
Except for Chu Baning's gaffe that night, he quickly returned to his serious appearance the next day, and he was still the powerful King Su. When things were a little different, Chu Baning seemed to be enlightened, he knew how to care for her, and even got a little ink on her, and when he came back at night, he would stare at her silently for a long time with those chilling eyes , will go to the study to continue working.
Ananda was often confused by him, not knowing what he was thinking. Every time Ananda feels that he should care about Chu Baning's mood, he invites four confidant maids to discuss it together. Except for Rucui, a courageous second-hand maid who can say a few words, the other three maids are Looking at her with accusing eyes of "Are you really such an idiot?" made her feel stressed.
In addition, she had to eat medicinal food every day under the watchful eyes of the maid and nanny, which made her weak fire rise, and she felt that she was about to be exhausted. Also, Ananda also felt that she suddenly had a lot more free time every day. Apart from reading books and practicing calligraphy and wandering around the yard, she no longer had to worry about other things. Then take the booklet and show it to her. Even if she wanted to embroider a small purse with an embroidery frame, she would be stopped by the nuns, saying that there are professional embroiderers in the palace, so just tell me what you need, and don't worry about such a trivial matter.
Ananda: Why is it hurting to embroider a purse? Isn't it one of the basic skills that everyone knows~~
Such an obvious move, Ananda no longer understands the reason, it is a stick.
Ananda sighed inwardly, although the leisurely life of the princess was very attractive, but she would feel uneasy if she did not work for the salary of the princess.
At night, Chu Baning was busy again until the lights came on before stepping into the house.
Ananda had already prepared bath water with essential oils and dry and warm clothes that had been dried in the sun. After Chu Baning took a comfortable bath, the servants had already prepared hot meals for him to serve. up.
With delicious hot dishes and hot meals, coupled with a young and sweet little wife who is attentively serving, any man will feel very comfortable and caring after a tiring day.
The maids had disappeared automatically, Ananda pulled Chu Baning to sit down, and put his favorite dishes into his bowl with a smile, looking like a considerate and virtuous wife. Chu Baning was also hungry, and he didn't stop his chopsticks after eating several bowls of rice, which made Ananda's heart ache terribly.
This man is indeed a man who was appraised as "a good talent for the country and the people" by the emperor's master Gongsun Yaobai. Once he starts to do something, it is like putting his life on the line, doing his best and never resting. Every time she ordered Chu Baning's personal servant, Mu Yuan'er, to remind Chu Baning of his normal meals, but Mu Yuan'er always came back with a dejected face and told her that the prince didn't listen at all, and even told him to shut up, don't Talking like a bitch.
Ananda really fell on his back when he heard that, and really wanted to ask a certain prince, what's the matter with the girls? Girls also have glamorous, noble and quiet type!
After the meal, Chu Baning did not go to the study, but sat in meditation on the long couch by the window in their bedroom, clasping the table with his fingers.
Ananda is very familiar with this frequency, and it often makes her feel at ease at such times.
Unknowingly, it was late at night, and Chu Baning came back to his senses, and found that the little wife who was making the purse had already fallen asleep on the armrest of the long couch, and a purse that had already been made was lying quietly among the vines . Chu Baning reached out and took the purse. The purse was made of high-quality royal tribute cloth, and it was embroidered with two little people in red clothes that Chu Baning could not understand. The bride and groom in the same clothes are very cute and festive. Chu Baning remembered that it was something Ananda had spent several nights embroidering, and rubbed the two little figures on the purse with his fingertips, and Chu Baning put it into his arms unceremoniously.
Chu Baning bent down to pick up his little wife on the couch, walked steadily to the bed, and put Ananda on the bed.
Ananda woke up as soon as his body touched the bed, but he opened his eyes to look at him sleepily.
Chu Baning extinguished the candle with a wave of his hand, and stretched out his long arms after lying on the bed to hug Ananda.
"Ananda... I'm leaving the capital in a few days." Chu Baning hesitated for a while, and said softly to Ananda.
Ananda's drowsiness ran away all of a sudden, and he looked extremely awake, his eyes widened, "Leaving the capital? Why, why?" They had only been married for about a month, and they were still newlyweds. Are you planning to leave your new wife and run away alone
"Brother Huang asked me to escort the food and grass to Tongcheng." Chu Baning didn't want to say too much, he lowered his head and kissed the forehead of the girl in his arms, and said hoarsely: "You are at home alone, you must be careful, wait for me to come back..."
The man's voice was slightly hoarse, as if he was not sure about anything. Ananda felt a pain in his heart when he heard it. When he was about to say something, his lips were blocked, and then he was pressed and bitten by the man with super learning ability, and easily pried it open. Her teeth entangled with her tongue.
Ananda really wanted to thump his back to protest, but he didn't have the courage after all, so he could only make a whining sound.
Chu Baning slightly loosened his lips, and changed to gently nibbling her ear. Ananda trembled and almost screamed—the ear is her sensitive part. Ever since Chu Baning discovered this secret, she often made out with each other Sometimes, he likes to harass her ears in every possible way. And Ananda, who has no guts, has never had the guts to retaliate, for fear of making a certain prince more excited, and then it will be endless.
"... wait for me to come back, okay?"
Ananda gritted his teeth, and said to himself not to say such sad things in such a seductive voice while doing such erotic things! ! ! !
The two of them quickly took off their clothes. The darkness made people's senses more sensitive and full of ambiguous feelings.
...
After the passion, the two skin-to-skin, sweat dripping, but refused to leave each other's body, embracing and enjoying the aftertaste of passion.
Ananda leaned against Chu Baning's arms, lazily not wanting to move. After the relationship and the matter finally eased, Chu Baning got up and got out of bed to get a clean towel, thoughtfully cleaned Ananda's body, and then went to bed and hugged the girl who was lazy and refused to move on the bed.
Ananda leaned in his arms, feeling a little bit reluctant.
In just one month, she went from being cautious to accepting him openly, but she decided to accept him, and he was about to leave. Not to mention when he will come back, just going to a borderland like Tongcheng, the danger is unpredictable...
Ananda hugged him tightly and buried his head in his arms.
Chu Baning kissed her forehead, patted her back, and comforted her to sleep.
***********
On Concubine Shu's birthday, Ananda entered the palace early in the morning.
Ananda took Rucui to the Empress Dowager's Chonghua Palace first to pay her respects to her mother-in-law. On the way, she naturally met the Empress who also brought a group of harem beauties to pay her respects to her mother-in-law.
"Hey, it's been a long time since Princess Su, why did you come into the palace today?" The queen kindly held Ananda's hand, looking like a sister-in-law.
Ananda smiled shyly, and said in a sweet voice, "Ananda misses his mother, and wants to see her. Are the empress and all the empresses going to pay her respects?"
The queen covered her mouth and smiled: "That's not true! I heard that you entered the palace today, and I brought my sisters here to have a lively and lively time. There are so many happy people, and it makes the queen mother happier." Look at Princess Biansu, um, she still has the soft and waxy appearance of a child, she doesn't seem to have grown much, but her complexion is pretty good, ruddy, pink and tender, it looks like she has returned to the light.
Thinking of this, the queen remembered the palace lady who died a few days ago in Su Wang's mansion, and felt more and more that Su Wang's appearance looked like a flashback
In fact, there are not a few concubines who have such thoughts with the queen. Although they fight with each other non-stop, it is lonely to spend their time in the deep palace, and some gossip is needed to relieve the loneliness of the soul. The newly appointed Concubine Su is too unstable, allowing the concubines to dig a lot of fun, so every time Ananda enters the palace, there will be a bunch of concubines chatting with her and expressing all kinds of goodwill to her.
To be honest, although they all wanted to defeat Ananda's eldest sister Shufei, it didn't prevent them from getting close to Ananda.
If Ananda knew the thoughts of these women who were too idle to engage in palace fights, he would shoot them to death! My complexion is almost bad, but I may die at any time; if I am in good spirits, it will become the light in their eyes again - fall, I don't want to play with people like this!
A group of women talked and laughed, feasted on their sisters and sisters, praised each other and walked towards the Chonghua Palace.
After greeting the Queen Mother, and talking with the Queen Mother for a while, everyone dispersed. In the eyes of everyone, the queen mother did not even stay with the queen, leaving Ananda alone.
So, although the concubines were respectful on the surface, they returned to their bedroom with all kinds of ridicule in their hearts, probably they ran back to their bed directly to snicker.
Ananda's heart was bitter, but on his face he looked naive and lovely.
The Empress Dowager sat on the kang expressionlessly, with a calm expression on her face.
The maids served tea lightly and then left. Soon, only the empress dowager with a serious face and the blinking young daughter-in-law were left in the palace.
"Concubine Su, tell me, what's going on?" the queen mother asked while holding the round fan in her hand, her voice was faint, and no emotion could be heard.
Ananda pouted inwardly, thinking that she had never even met those beauties, so how could she know what was going on? Isn't it just that he contracted the cold and passed away.
Ananda felt that according to the queen mother's character of controlling and interfering with her son's backyard, she must have installed eyeliner in Su Wang's mansion. She asked herself, did she want to find fault with herself and make her feel uncomfortable
"Queen, what did you say?" Ananda muttered inwardly, with an innocent look on his face.
The queen mother glanced at her, not sure whether Ananda was pretending to be stupid or really stupid, but from the experience of the several meetings between the queen mother and Ananda, the queen mother believed that Ananda was a fool, and it was easy to handle and standard If you don't have the right to see a concubine, you can't get on the stage. Originally, this kind of daughter-in-law is the best, the mother-in-law will never say anything, and the mother-in-law will never say shit when she farts. However, the bad thing is that she has a son who is completely out of control. No matter how much pressure he puts on his daughter-in-law, the son will protect his daughter-in-law and slap her in the face, making her as a mother ashamed.
Thinking of her son Chu Baning, the queen mother felt blocked again.
"Concubine Su, the three maids given by Ai's family were originally to serve you and your husband. They are capable in the palace. I believe that in Su Wang's mansion, they will not have the guts to dare to steal and play tricks. The imperial doctor also said that they are all healthy. Yes. Aijia wants to know, okay, why did people disappear?"
Ananda looked at the Queen Mother sincerely, and said, "Queen Mother, this is the fault of my daughter-in-law. My daughter-in-law didn't know that they were so delicate. When it rained, it would hurt the spring and the autumn, so they went away immediately."
The queen mother felt that the breath in her chest was even more uncomfortable, and she couldn't get up or down.
"Mother, Miss Shiqing's dead daughter-in-law is also very sad." Ananda had a heavy expression on his face, his eyes were red, and he twisted his handkerchief as if he was about to cry, and said, "There was an autumn rain the night before. I heard that Miss Shiqing wanted to watch the rain, so she opened the window and watched for half the night... My daughter-in-law heard that Miss Shiqing did very well in poetry, she is a talented person, and she wanted to watch the rain and write poems casually. But who knew she would So what about the cold and fever? The daughter-in-law was really touched and sad when she heard the girl Shiqing's devotion to art..." As he spoke, he covered his face with a veil and let out a choked sound.
The corner of the queen mother's mouth twitched, thinking that her daughter-in-law, who was born in a low family background, was really good at talking, but her face was sincere, which made it hard to refute.
The empress dowager finally knew what it was like to have no eggs and it hurts.
It's really fucking painful!
