Ananda spent the first year after getting married in Tongcheng, which was icy and snowy and lacked supplies.
However, although the new year has passed, Tongcheng still snows from time to time before the first month of the month. It is normal to have a little snow in three days and a heavy snow in five days, so she can only stay at home and work as a house girl embroidering and embroidering. Take a look at those two little foxes—oh, that’s wrong, after a few months of milk, goat’s milk, and vegetables and radishes, the little foxes have grown into two big foxes like adult cats.
But Chu Baning is still busy every day, and General Zhao's condition needs to be concealed, so he has resisted all the things that belonged to General Zhao before. People say that the Chinese New Year is the most relaxing day, and most people will gain a few pounds during the Chinese New Year, but her prince lost weight.
In the dead of night, the snow outside the window fell silently.
After the cloud and rain passed, she panted, and the person who was on top of her turned over and let her lie on top of him.
After the aftertaste of passion passed, she stretched out her hand to touch the chest under her body, and slid up from the chest to the shoulder blades to the back of the neck. When she wanted to change the place again, her hand had already been caught, and the man's passion- desire A disappearing voice sounded from above: "Ananda, don't make trouble..."
Ananda looked up at him, and in the darkness, he could only vaguely see his outline.
Ananda sensed that something under her was showing signs of raising its head, so she was obedient and didn't touch it any more, just smiled and explained her perverted behavior: "My lord, you seem to have lost weight." If the Queen Mother saw it, Bao Zhun had to take her to talk about her non-stop, saying that she was not good enough. Ananda is now very glad that they came to Tongcheng, she is the biggest in the mansion, and she doesn't need to enter the palace on the 15th day of the lunar new year to pay her respects to her mother-in-law. This kind of life is really an ideal nourishing life.
"Really?" Chu Ba Ning responded and then fell silent.
Ananda curled his lips, thinking that men don't care about such things, and they don't have the sensibility of women. Maybe they still think that women care about small things. I should be a virtuous wife and mother at this time, and persuade him to pay attention to his body when he is busy with work, and pay attention to the combination of work and rest is the kingly way...
Ananda thought about it, and was planning to do some of his wife's duties to increase the relationship between husband and wife, and let him know that she is a good wife who will always care about him, but when he saw him hugging her, he rolled over and pressed her under him.
Ananda's eyes widened: Do you want to come again? Are you so tired from working during the day and still have to roll the sheets at night? Can he take it
However, what he did next let Ananda know that he was thinking too much. =__=!
The man's warm hands moved over her body, from the neck to the collarbone to the chest to the waist to the lower abdomen... Ananda blushed, he almost touched her whole body, but it was not the kind of flirtatious touch. It's a movement that seems to be measuring something.
"My lord, what are you doing?" Ananda shrank his body to hide.
After Chu Baning had touched her enough, he returned his hands to her waist and massaged her with a gentle force to relieve her discomfort.
"You seem to have lost weight too." Chu Baning kissed her lips and said, "Well, you've grown taller too."
"Really?" Ananda was overjoyed.
Ananda has always been dissatisfied with his body and height in this life, but he also knows the reason why he has just turned sixteen and has not yet fully developed. Have you been sadly wearing a lolita figure for the rest of your life? Who knows that a few days ago, Rucui suddenly told her that it seemed that after the new year, her apple face became thinner, and her figure also became thinner, and she was no longer as round and round as before... Her heart was blossoming. in full bloom.
Since ancient times, which woman does not love beauty? Ananda has always yearned for the slenderness of a skinny beauty, and has always fantasized about being taller and thinner, and then wearing a complicated, beautiful and light green gauze skirt, leaning on the fence against the wind and looking at the distant mountains and fine waters, the artistic conception is really beautiful ! o(≧v≦)o
It's a pity that God is cruel, she has the figure and appearance of a loli, and she was forced to marry before she grew into a slender beauty. After getting married, it is even more difficult to do some bed exercises to suppress growth... Thinking about the things since getting married, Ananda really wanted to cry with noodles. tat
However, God is also fair. Fortunately, her small body has been devastated so much, and she still develops normally.
When Ananda was still imagining how elegant she would be in the future, someone's next words hit her directly.
"It's not good to be thin, hold your hands! You eat more in the future, I don't want to hold your bones. Well, it's good to grow taller, so you can give birth..."
"..."
Ananda heard that a certain prince rarely expressed his opinion on her figure and height, but it was this kind of direct attack on people, and his heart was full of inner feelings! She wants to be a slender and elegant skinny beauty, but her prince doesn't love Zhao Feiyan and prefers Concubine Yang Gui, how embarrassing it is for her! tat
A certain prince is still saying: "Nurse Zhang will make some nourishing medicinal meals, and I will eat more in the future, um, look at what you want to eat, and don't wrong yourself, let the kitchen staff do it if you want to eat. I heard that you like the scallion pancakes made by a cook in Chengshou's mansion, so I will ask Guan Zhi (He Chengshou's name) to come here instead..."
Anan couldn't listen anymore, and if she continued to listen to her, he would really be nagging her so badly, she would develop into the way of Concubine Yang in the future, and resolutely put an end to such tragic things! ! !
Ananda stood up, stretched out his hand and hugged his head directly, pulled the head down to meet it, blocked the mouth that was designed to poke people's heart, and bit it down very viciously. Chu Baning was taken aback, although he didn't know someone was suddenly so "enthusiasm" and "bold" for Mao, but he still readily accepted her initiative, thinking that she still had the strength to fight another battle, so he no longer felt sorry for her, and stood on her legs In between, spread her legs apart, and directly penetrate the hard and hot male thing...
Ananda shuddered, and finally he knew that his actions had made him wrong, and his heart burst into tears again.
"Ananda, relax..." He gasped and coaxed softly, the thick man was hard to move by her tightening force, and he was afraid that he would hurt her by indulging himself, so he could only coax him patiently.
"I'm very tired..." She flattened her mouth, making herself look aggrieved.
Hearing that, a deep laugh came from his throat, but the force of the impact under his body didn't decrease a bit, and he felt more and more fierce. She could only hug him with both hands, and let him take over her more and more domineeringly. …
***************
The next day, Ananda struggled to get out of bed with his waist supported, cursing some intemperate prince in his heart.
Seeing her sitting on the pit and rubbing her waist from time to time, Ru Cui said with sympathy: "Miss, do you want your servant to let Madam Zhang make some nourishing medicinal meals for you to nourish your body? Well, Miss is really better than you." I used to be much thinner, and my apple face will turn into a small pointed face."
Ananda gave her a blank look, this girl's aesthetics was the same as Chu Baning's, and she thought she was only beautiful when she was round and round, which made her very sad to hear that. In fact, Rucui's appearance and figure are very in line with the aesthetics of this era. She is slender and graceful, and her face is also the oval face of a classical beauty. When she smiles, her eyes will bend into crescent buds. She is very cute and lovable, not inferior to ordinary young ladies. . It's just that this girl has a good looks for nothing, and her temper is too two. As long as she speaks, she can make her angry. No matter how beautiful she is, no one will be jealous.
After watching Ru Cui, Ananda looked at Ru Lan who was giving her warm goat's milk. This girl is also a Xiaojiabiyu-type beauty. The two pretty maids standing together are really pleasing to the eye! Watching them, Ananda suddenly remembered their life events. The two girls have grown up too, and they will have to be married in two years... However, Ru Lan is okay, but Ru Cui is such a second girl, which normal ancient man can bear it
"Miss, what are you doing watching us?" Ru Cui tilted her head and asked, "You're not still thinking about you wanting to lose weight and have a smaller pointed face, are you?"
"Small pointed faces are good-looking, don't you understand?" Ananda stared at Ru Cui's melon-seeded face, envious and jealous, seeing how innocent this small pointed face looks, no matter what clothes he wears.
"Miss, your idea is wrong! Little pointed faces and everything are goblins, it's not worth it..." A certain girl began to mutter righteously.
Ananda: =__=! Obviously, the small pointy face is a classic oval face, who said it was a goblin face
Ru Lan: =__=! Someone will shut up this girl!
*************
In the following days, Ananda began to be stuffed like a pig by a certain prince and a certain girl. She must not only develop upwards—height, but also develop horizontally—area. Ananda carefully prepared for the cooks. The food is full of all kinds. Especially thinking of the cook who was poached by her prince from the city guard's mansion to make scallion pancakes for her, she immediately felt sorry for He Xiaoniu, who also loves to eat scallion pancakes, so she had to come to the mansion if she wanted to eat it. .
You ask her, how can this princess eat so well in winter
There is no need to worry about this. Although the food in places like Tongcheng in the north is not abundant in winter, Chu Baning has an emperor brother who loves him so much that he will send people to the capital in ten days and a half months. There will be no shortage of fresh fruit thinning foods, supplements and medicinal materials. They were all sent by the emperor to reward her hard-working younger brother, but his imperial brother stuffed her into her stomach like a sow.
At the end of January, the imperial court's secret decree finally arrived, and the court also made arrangements for General Zhao's illness. It was heard that the emperor asked General Zhao to rest and recuperate. He will appoint a new general to replace General Zhao in the near future. During this period, all matters in the army were handed over to King Su for decision-making.
As a military fortress, Tongcheng is like a natural gate separating Dachu and North Vietnam. As long as Tongcheng is not broken, the North Yue people will dare to go south to plunder Dachu. Because Tongcheng is such an important checkpoint, Emperor Chongde also has his own considerations. The generals stationed in Tongcheng must be his confidants and most trusted people. King Su is the most trusted younger brother of Emperor Chongde, so Emperor Chongde is very relieved to hand over Tongcheng to him. In addition, King Su was guided by General Zhao and assisted by Wen Liang, a talented military adviser, so he didn't have to worry about anything for a while.
Of course, if Chu Ba Ning wants to take over all of this, some people with status in the army will naturally not accept it, and he needs to use his strength to convince them. This made Chu Baning busy again recently.
Also, it is worth mentioning that at the end of the month, Zhang Tiejiang's murder case was finally closed, and the murderer was finally arrested by the city's yamen.
Ananda also heard that the murderer turned out to be a North Vietnamese hiding in the house of a blanket seller in the city. Of course, a big living man lurking in the city to kill people must have an accomplice, and the accomplice is the shopkeeper who sells woolen blankets.
"I heard that the owner of the shop selling blankets has half of North Vietnamese blood. His mother is from Dachu, and his father is a businessman in North Vietnam. After marrying his mother more than 40 years ago, he returned to North Vietnam to live. The shopkeeper was born Later, because their father failed in business, the mother and son were driven out of North Vietnam and returned to Dachu, where they settled down in Tongcheng. The shop owner has lived here for more than twenty years, and his identity is well concealed. People suspected him, so we never thought that he would hide a North Vietnamese man and hide the North Vietnamese man in the underground kiln. It is said that the reason why the North Vietnamese man killed people was that Zhang Blacksmith in the blacksmith shop next door discovered his identity , I can only kill it in a hurry."
Mrs. He was quite clear about this matter, and she talked with Ananda who came to visit.
"Sister of the Chu family, how many examples are there of mixed races?" Ananda asked.
Mrs. He was taken aback, and suddenly felt that the three words Ananda said "hybrid" completely summarized the identities of people with the blood of the two countries. They were neither pure North Vietnamese nor pure Chu people, nor mixed blood. what
Mrs. He sighed softly, and said: "Since the royal court of Beiyue established the kingship, Great Chu and Beiyue have fallen into an endless situation. Beiyue has poor mountains and rivers, harsh climate, and it is difficult to grow crops. In addition, the population is small, and women's lives are fragile. It is not easy to survive there, so the North Vietnamese go to our border every year to kidnap some women..."
Although Mrs. He didn't finish her sentence, Ananda also understood the meaning.
However, this matter finally came to light, the security in the city was finally lifted, and the guards in the mansion were not as strict as before.
***
In a blink of an eye, it was February.
When the beams of the house are hit on February 2, the scorpions and worms (centipedes) cannot go down the wall.
There is a folk saying that on February 2nd, the dragon raises its head, which is called the Spring Dragon Festival.
On the second day of the second month, Ananda asked the kitchen to make dragon beard noodles to eat. Entering February, Tongcheng has less frequent snowfall, but the weather is still cold, dry and cold, which is really uncomfortable.
And in this weather, the North Vietnamese came alive again. I heard that there were North Vietnamese activities outside the city from time to time. Although the North Vietnamese soldiers did not move, it was very annoying to see them running around like mice. Wen Liang discussed with Chu Baning and sent several teams to the city. Hunting and patrolling outside the city, I encountered North Vietnamese people who would kill without mercy!
In March, we entered the rainy and lingering spring.
March is the time when the peach blossoms are in full bloom. Ladies and nobles in the capital will go to the Baitao Garden to enjoy the flowers and spring outings, or participate in the Taolin Poetry Appreciation Club. Poetry will meet and get acquainted, and then this year, there will be good news from several families.
However, Ananda is not in the capital now, and there are only a few officials and wives in Tongcheng, no one has the leisure to hold a flower appreciation party for poetry, only Mrs. He asked Ananda to go to the Zhusheng Niangniang Temple in the south of the city to offer incense .
Although Chu Baning would sometimes talk about letting Ananda have a child, Wen Liang also looked at Ananda from time to time to want to be a foster father, and even the empress dowager and emperor in the capital stared at Ananda's belly from afar, but Ananda only needed to think of himself. It's really hard to rush at this age. Therefore, the emperor killed the eunuch in a hurry, and even Mrs. He was in a hurry to help Ananda, so there was a matter of asking Ananda to go to the temple to offer incense.
Although Tongcheng is a border city, its scale is not comparable to other inland places, but the city area is not small, and the resident population is also large. Just by looking at the ladies and wives going to and from Zhusheng Niangniang Temple, one can know the population of this border town.
Ananda and Mrs. He went to burn incense and gave money for the sesame oil. Mrs. He left because she had something to do. Ananda heard that there was a peach grove in the backyard of the temple and wanted to see the peach blossoms, so he said goodbye to Mrs. He. Afterwards, she walked to the backyard with her maid Rucui. Since only male guests were allowed in the backyard of the temple, Ananda had no choice but to leave the two guards he brought with him at the gate of the courtyard to guard.
The sunshine in spring is faint, although it is not warm enough, but after a few rains, it is still gratifying. There is a small peach blossom grove in the backyard. The pink peach blossoms are in full bloom. Some girls who have not left the pavilion walk slowly with their maids to enjoy the flowers. Occasionally, there are a few shy calls, which make people sigh and laugh. poetic feelings.
Ananda took Rucui to stand in front of the veranda to watch for a while, and then went with her to the place specially prepared by the abbot inside the temple to rest and drink fragrant tea.
The rest rooms prepared for pilgrims in the temple are very simple, with a bed, a cabinet, a screen, a table and a few stools, which really have the characteristics of ancient temples. Probably because this is a resting place for the female relatives, there is an extra screen.
"Miss, this place is even cruder than the capital." Ru Cui turned and closed the door while talking.
Ananda didn't care, went to the table and picked a stool to sit down, said with a smile: "Of course it's not as good as the capital here... Who is it?" Ananda suddenly exclaimed.
Hearing this, Rucui didn't care what Ananda found, and immediately rushed over to protect Ananda.
The next moment the two saw a tall man coming out from behind the screen, they couldn't help being shocked. The Zhusheng Niangniang Temple, as the name suggests, was built for the needs of female compatriots. The pilgrims who come here are all female pilgrims. There is also a rule that male guests are not allowed in the backyard. I really did not expect to see a tall man here. One can imagine how surprised a tough man would be.
The man probably didn't expect to be discovered, he just felt that the woman who discovered him was definitely a delicate person, but he didn't know that Ananda looked over from the angle where he was sitting, just happened to see a pair of shoes under the screen, and just called out tentatively. That's all, but I didn't expect to call people out.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Ru Cui asked defensively, her tall figure completely blocked Ananda behind her, so that the man didn't even see a hair.
The man rolled his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, he pulled out a mild smile and said, "You two ladies, I'm really sorry, next time..."
His accent was a bit strange, it was obviously a normal Da Chu language, but it sounded like an indescribable charm. Ananda listened to the man's explanation of the reason why he broke in by mistake, and looked over Rucui's shoulder to size up the man. He was a very manly man, with a sturdy physique, a handsome face, radiant eyes, and a bronze complexion. Although he was wearing ordinary clothes of the people of Dachu, he couldn't hide his violent aura. The whole person looks like an eagle soaring on the grassland, full of wild and unruly breath.
Suddenly, Ananda's eyes rested on the man's right ear...
The man was obviously also aware of her gaze, and he yelled in his heart. He stepped forward with a sword, and in an instant, he had already passed Rucui, grabbed Ananda behind her, pulled him into his arms, and imprisoned him. With a flick of his sleeve, a dagger inlaid with blue agate was pressed against Ananda's neck.
"Don't call, or I'll kill her!" The man's pretended gentle smile receded, and his whole body exuded a sturdy and domineering aura.
"Miss!" Ru Cui's face turned pale.
Ananda's face also turned pale, and if someone put a sharp weapon against his neck, everyone would be afraid. But she knew that she had better listen to him, otherwise what was waiting for her might be murder.
"Hmph, the girls of Dachu are pretty smart too..." the man suppressed his voice and said, ignoring the glaring eyes of the maid beside him, he leaned closer to the girl in his arms, and sprayed his warm breath on her face. When he got closer, the man realized that the skin of the girl imprisoned in his arms was as delicate and flawless as snow, and the healthy pink was like the peach blossoms in this temple, which made people want to touch a few.
Ananda was directly pressed on him with one arm around his waist and upper body, and he was holding a sharp weapon against his neck with one hand, feeling very uncomfortable. Hearing his words, Ananda regretted it very much. She should have known that she should not have stared at him just now.
"Let go of my lady! We promise not to tell anyone that you are here!" Rucui was also afraid that he would hurt Ananda with a shaking hand, so she whispered, moving her eyes around.
The man frowned, and brought the dagger close to the neck of the girl in his arms, successfully making Ru Cui dare not speak out.
There are hostages in hand, and this is a wing room prepared for some dignified female relatives, so no one will come to disturb easily, the man becomes more at ease, he doesn't pay attention to the maid at the side at all, and has interest in observing the situation in his arms. girl. It was she who found herself hiding behind the screen just now, and it was she who discovered her secret that made him decide to take the risk.
"Woman, you seem to be quite familiar with our national customs, aren't you?"
The man leaned closer to the girl in his arms, admiring her ceramic-like delicate skin, which made him more and more amazed. Although she was not as beautiful as the maid over there, her flawless skin alone was enough to make up for everything. Even the most beautiful concubine in the royal court did not have such a flawless and beautiful complexion. And she is as soft and sticky as a doll, which makes men want to hold her in their hands and ravage her. When he got closer, he could still smell a faint fragrance from her... Suddenly, the man frowned, with some surprise and displeasure on his face, and asked, "Are you married?"
A man smells a smell that belongs to another man in her. Only when he shares the bed with a man and lingers with his limbs can a man leave his scent on a woman. This woman is very clean, and the body fragrance is also light and near-none, letting him know that she is not used to using powder and the like. This is also the case, so it is easy to get the smell of other men.
The man looked at her thoughtfully, knowing that the man must love her very much to leave such a strong smell on her domineeringly.
A taste that represents exclusive possession.
Ananda didn't know whether he got married or not had nothing to do with him, so he kept his mouth shut.
He is North Vietnamese.
And he was a high-status North Vietnamese.
Ananda was sure, because he had two pierced ears in his right ear, perhaps because he had to disguise himself and took off the earrings soon after, so the skin color around the two pierced ears on the earlobe was different from the color around the earlobe, and was whiter.
Ananda recognized his identity because he had heard from the prime minister's father that after the birth of a man from the royal family of North Vietnam, the female elders in the family would have more than two piercings in his right ear, with a representative identity. earrings. The men in Dachu follow the way of the sages and engrave in their hearts that "the body is hair and skin, and the parents dare not hurt them", and they will not do anything like ear piercing.
Ananda felt his hands and feet were cold.
Why did people from the North Vietnamese royal court appear here
