Wang Yanqing couldn't be fooled by him, and said angrily, "I won't choose!"
"Then do it all over again." Lu Heng picked up a handful of water from the tub, and the mist of water wrapped in red petals flowed from his fingers. His fingers were slender, with distinct joints, looking clean and strong, and he always held a knife on weekdays. There is a forbidden wind flu in doing this movement of the hand.
Following Lu Heng's movements, the water swayed gently, and the petals touched her looming ups and downs. Snow skin and bright red complement each other, and the beauty is amazing. Lu Heng kept staring at that place, and suddenly, regardless of the clothes on her body, leaned over, grabbed her slender waist from the water with precision, and tightened it forcefully.
Wang Yanqing exclaimed, the sound of breaking water came from behind the screen, and the crimson petals splashed. The screen shows a silhouette of a woman, with a slender waist and a slender neck, plump and slender, her waist is imprisoned by a pair of arms, and it bends down in a flexible arc, like a flower falling from the moon.
Water drops fell from Bingying's skin, and before Wang Yanqing could feel the cold, Lu Heng leaned over and kissed the petal. Lu Heng had broad shoulders and strong arms, which almost completely wrapped Wang Yanqing when he circled his arms. She felt the coolness of rolling water droplets and the warmth of tearing and grinding, and her body trembled, not knowing if it was cold or something else.
When Lu Heng let go, Wang Yanqing was too breathless to speak. Lu Heng put her back in the warm water, grabbed the collar with his fingers, and pulled the button off at will.
"I prefer the front position. But that's okay, we'll take it slow."
The turbulent water flow is both resistance and momentum. When Lu Heng came out of the clean room holding Wang Yanqing, the water was already cold. And Lu Heng took her back to the bedroom not because it was over, but because of another place.
When he finally had enough tossing, Wang Yanqing's old youth was not healed, and new traces were added. No matter how good Wang Yanqing's physical strength was, Lu Heng saw that she was struggling to stand upright, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to help her take a bath. Wang Yanqing dared to let him in again, and resolutely refused.
After cleaning again, Wang Yanqing was so tired that she just wanted to sleep with her eyes closed. She put on a snow-white tunic and leaned sideways on the pillow. Until there was a shadow around him and the bed beside him sank slightly, Lu Heng did not expect that she was still awake and asked, "Why didn't you sleep?"
Wang Yanqing closed his eyes halfway, and his voice was thin and sweet: "Wait for you."
Lu Heng's heart was instantly seized by these words, a small ball of warmth and softness, he was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes, but he said that he was waiting for him, why didn't he feel relieved? Lu Heng pulled her quilt up and said warmly, "Okay, I'm back. Go to sleep."
Wang Yanqing's whole body was soft, but he still insisted on beating his arm: "It's all your fault, I have to wash it again."
Lu Heng laughed, wrapped her fist, and sincerely admitted her mistake: "Okay, it's all my fault."
The maids have already left, leaving only a dim light in front of the bed. Lu Heng blew out the light and put down the bed tent, and the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness. Wang Yanqing heard the voice beside her, she strained to open her eyes, recognized Lu Heng's position, and naturally leaned towards him.
Lu Heng also smiled, letting her lotus arm wrap around his neck and the other hand around her waist.
Husbands and wives share the same bed, so they should sleep on two quilts, but since the wedding night, the other quilt on their bed has never been used.
At first, Lu Heng went too far, she was completely unconscious, Lu Heng hugged her to sleep, and the two slept together. But after that, this method was tacitly accepted. Who knows the feeling of holding the warm and fragrant nephrite in his arms, Lu Heng is reluctant to sleep alone after tasting it, and Wang Yanqing also likes to hold him.
Lu Heng had broad shoulders and a hot body temperature, and leaning against him was extremely reliable. Lu Heng also felt that, compared to real swords and spears, she preferred to simply hold him.
The love in bed comes from primitive desires. Even men and women who have no feelings can mingle intensely, but embracing afterwards is the real continuation of the relationship.
Lu Heng tightened his fingers, hugged her deeper into his arms, and fell asleep satisfied.
The recovery of all things in March is the beginning of a year's livelihood. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, agricultural affairs have been paid great attention to. Even now the rituals are broken and the merchants are rampant, farming and mulberry is still the most important foundation of a country.
After the change of the Renyin Palace, the emperor has not been to the morning court for more than a month, but he still went to the Temple of Heaven to preside over the worship ceremony, and prayed to the god of agriculture to bless the weather this year. The emperor attached so much importance to the farming season, and Empress Fang did not dare to slack off. The supervisor Qin Tian chose an auspicious day and led the women from inside and outside to hold the ceremony of kissing silkworms at the first silkworm altar.
Wang Yanqing, as the commander's wife of the second rank, also has to participate in the silkworm pro-sericulture ceremony. On this day, the powerful and dignitaries gathered, and the women inside and outside the capital wore high-grade gowns.
After the whole set of red tape was over, everyone from the concubine to the concubine breathed a sigh of relief. In addition to a young man like Wang Yanqing who entered the palace today, there are also many old princes in their 70s and 80s, and their bodies can't stand the toss. Empress Fang understood the importance, and once the ceremony of kissing the silkworm was completed, she let everyone go to rest.
The old Fengjuns breathed a sigh of relief, and with the help of their daughter-in-law and grandson-in-law, went to the palace to rest. Except for those who couldn't hold on physically, the rest were more willing to stay in the hall to communicate as long as they still had a breath.
Queen Fang took the attendants to the back to organize their appearance. The rest of the people were scattered in the hall, each finding a place to talk, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed. Hong Wanqing is now Mrs. Zhenyuan Hou, sitting with her aunt in the pile of honorable ladies. She looked at the team of military attaches across from her from a distance, and saw Wang Yanqing effortlessly.
Jin Yiwei is an existence that no one dares to offend or make friends with. Everyone agreed to let Wang Yanqing sit in the first place, but they did not dare to speak to Wang Yanqing rashly. Wang Yanqing also happened to find peace and quietness.
Even if no one is around, she can easily become the focus of the audience. The women in the hall were all wearing crowns and big shirts, but those heavy colors fell on Wang Yanqing, which was more eye-catching than others.
She sat upright on the pear wood chair, her back straight. She wears a luxurious Zhai crown on her bun, and four Zhai wings hang down behind her neck, and the pearls and gems on it sway indistinctly. The hair crown is grand, but her neck is slender and white, almost making people suspect that it will break. Viewed from the side, her neck line is extremely beautiful, and the soft lines naturally transition to the shoulders. The snow-white skin is covered with layers of neat and crisp collars. The outermost is a big red shirt with wide sleeves hanging down symmetrically. The dark blue Xia Pi pressed the straight collar of the big shirt and covered it straight on her knees. The sun fell from behind her, and the golden embroidered clouds and Zhai patterns on the robes fluttered, emitting a hazy golden light.
Bright eyes and white teeth, snow-skinned red lips, quite a kind of refreshing feeling of snow but losing Mei Duanxiang.
All the wives were looking at her more or less, and the lawsuits came and went, and they were all discussing this mysterious Mrs. Lu.
The Marquis of Wu Ding believed in her seniority and had been waiting for Wang Yanqing to take the initiative to say hello, but she sat on the top of the honorable chief for a long time, but she never saw Wang Yanqing cast her eyes here. Mrs. Wudinghou couldn't hold back her anger, and she took the initiative to say: "I heard that Mrs. Lu was attacked some time ago and accidentally hurt her head. Is Mrs. Lu better?"
Wang Yanqing heard the voice and finally looked towards them. Hong Wanqing straightened her waist unconsciously, but Wang Yanqing's gaze fell on Mrs. Wuding Hou, and she did not look at Hong Wanqing next to her.
Wang Yanqing spoke in a low voice and said, "I'm much better, thank Mrs. Wuding Hou for your concern."
"It's fine." Mrs. Wuding Hou nodded slightly, and sighed in confusion, "It really is a young man."
The words of Mrs. Wudinghou are intriguing. Does she want to say that young people are in good health, or that young people do not understand etiquette? Wang Yanqing smiled softly, as if she didn't understand what Mrs. Wuding Hou said, she still didn't answer.
The Marquis of Wuding was suffocated, Lu Heng was a smiling tiger with a slippery hand, how could his wife keep her mouth shut like a gourd? In this world, you are not afraid to talk too much, but you are afraid of not talking, because if you don’t talk, you won’t make mistakes.
Mrs. Wudinghou was about to try again, but she was suddenly snatched by Hong Wanqing who was sitting behind her: "Mrs. Lu lives in a secluded place, I think she is a natural cold beauty, and doesn't like to joke? Madam Lu's appearance is such that it is no wonder that the governor of Lu's daughter buys a beauty with a smile. , Nanjing Weaving has only two pieces of snow satin, and is willing to use it to please Mrs. Lu."
Wang Yanqing paused, and finally took a closer look at Hong Wanqing. It is normal for a man to be jealous and spend a lot of money for the sake of a woman, but if you put it on the table, it means that the woman is wrong. Only Bao Si is not born to laugh. Hong Wanqing's words seem to be explaining for Wang Yanqing, but they are actually giving her the name of An Hongyan.
Moreover, weaving in Nanjing is government-run. In theory, everything woven by the official workshop belongs to the state treasury. Now the world is not as good as the founding of the country, the collusion between officials and businessmen, and many government-run things have fallen into the hands of private businessmen, silk is especially the hardest hit area. Nanjing weaving and weaving new things are sent to the capital to curry favor with high-ranking officials before the tribute palace. This is an unspoken rule in the officialdom, but it is taboo to take it out.
Grab in front of the emperor to enjoy the tribute, this kind of crime can be big or small. Hong Wanqing raised the snow satin in front of many palace concubines at the silkworm kissing ceremony, and her intentions were a bit sinister.
Wang Yanqing had been under the spell of Lu Heng for a long time, and he understood these words very well. She did not follow Hong Wanqing's option, but smiled softly and asked with a confused look, "What is Xueguang Satin?"
Wang Yanqing's move made a lot of money, and it was Hong Wanqing's turn to come to Taiwan in an instant. That's right, Wang Yanqing was wearing a court-grade dress today, and she didn't wear Xueguang Satin.
Hong Wanqing didn't expect this kind of development, and suddenly got stuck and couldn't speak. Wang Guifei sat on the second seat next to the back seat, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Lu is such a beautiful woman, who doesn't like it? Dudu Lu and Mrs. Lu are in love with each other. There are some Shu brocades, if Madam Lu is short of seasonal clothes, go and get some from me."
Who is Lu Heng? Will there be a shortage of seasonal clothes in his house? What Wang Guifei said was just to relieve Wang Yanqing. Wang Yanqing also smiled and replied, "Thank you for your concubine. The brocade of Shu is a tribute, and I use it to overstep."
Concubine Wang put her hands on her knees, noble and calm, and said, "Dudu Lu is the backbone of the country, and Mrs. Lu has also made extraordinary achievements. Clothes are woven for wearing. Instead of leaving them in dust, it is better to give them to ministers who have merit. Is there anything that is arrogant and not arrogant?"
As soon as Concubine Wang opened her mouth, she faintly revealed the posture of the head of the concubines. Her son is the eldest son. Although the emperor has not shown his inclination yet, in every application, the second prince comes first. The people in the palace are speculating that perhaps, the emperor intends to make the second prince the crown prince, and he will be canonized when the age is up.
Concubine Wang was even more proud of this, even though she was still a concubine, she dared to show her master bearing in public, and her momentum was even close to Empress Fang.
Wang Guifei relieved Wang Yanqing from the siege, and secretly wanted to win over the Lu family. After hearing this, Concubine Du Kang was not to be outdone, and said, "My concubine is not as delicate as a noble concubine, but there is a palace maid by her side who is very good at embroidery, even double-sided embroidery. If Mrs. Lu has time, she might as well come to Xianfu Palace. Talk, let's pick some tricks together."
Concubine Lu Jing also said a few words, and Wang Yanqing answered them one by one, thanking them with a smile. She will definitely not go after the event, but she must give her face, and everyone looks good.
Concubine Shen is also here today. Originally, it was not her turn to appear as a concubine on occasions like the Silkworm Ceremony, but since Shen Xibi adopted the eldest princess, she quickly became favored. In this respect, the emperor is the same as Lu Heng. They play with power and don't care about morality, but they like pure and kind souls.
Shen Xibi was not too aggressive and really liked children, but in front of the emperor, it became an advantage.
When Shen Xibi saw this, Ruan Nuo said, "I'm not as good as Concubine Gui, Concubine Kang, Concubine Jing, but recently I made clothes for the eldest princess and sewed a lot of tiger head clothes. Madam Lu and Governor Lu got married. , I have nothing to give, only some clothes made by myself, I wish the governor and his wife an early birth of a precious son."
This blessing was too practical, Wang Yanqing's cheeks were flushed, and she whispered, "Thank you Xibi."
Hong Wanqing mentioned Xueguang Satin to stir up the flames. After all, the silk satin that had never been seen in the palace was worn on Wang Yanqing's body. How could the concubines be happy when they found out? As a result, all the concubines scrambled to help Wang Yanqing step down, especially when Wang Guifei's heroic words came out, Hong Wanqing lost all face, and was so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl into the ground.
Hong Wanqing said something wrong, and Mrs. Wuding Hou's face was dull. She glared at Hong Wanqing secretly, her displeasure was clear. Hong Wanqing was frightened by her aunt and didn't dare to speak any more, so she lowered her head angrily.
A pass of the bloodless Ji Feng passed by, Wang Yanqing was unscathed, and whoever blamed the rest was ugly. Concubine Wang glanced at Hong Wanqing lightly, and recognized that this was the hottest Mrs. Zhenyuan Hou in Beijing recently. The Marquis of Zhenyuan was passed on to the second generation. Let’s not talk about it for the time being. Marquis of Wuding married the royal family for three generations. Some time ago, he was enthroned as Duke Guogong. 's niece
Wang Guifei was able to survive in the ever-changing harem and gave birth to the emperor of Jiajing Emperor, and her mind was not bad. Of course she could hear that Hong Wanqing's words just now wanted to provoke the concubine of the harem and went to the emperor to say that Wang Yanqing was not. If it weren't for her manners, Concubine Wang would simply want to go up and give Hong Wanqing a blow.
When they are stupid? Wang Yanqing is good at knowing lies, and has become the heart disease of everyone in the harem. Wang Guifei was afraid of offending Wang Yanqing, but Hong Wanqing wanted to use them to blow the pillow wind. Is the emperor the one who listens to the pillow wind? In the emperor's heart, is Lu Heng more important or the concubine
Wang Yanqing's words can make Shen Xibi favor, and the same sentence can ruin the future of Wang Guifei and the second prince. If Concubine Wang really dared to make trouble with Wang Yanqing over a piece of silk, she would definitely be dead.
Concubine Wang Gui was very angry, including Concubine Du Kang and Concubine Lu Jing, no matter how infighting they usually fought, they were surprisingly unified at this moment.
The atmosphere in the palace became subtle. At this time, Empress Fang came back. As soon as she came in, she noticed that the atmosphere was different. She glanced calmly and asked, "What's the matter, why don't you speak?"
Concubine Wang gave a generous and decent smile, and said, "It's nothing, the Empress has been worrying too much."
This episode is like a pebble, lightly tapped in the harem, it sank without any ripples. But beneath the calm surface, the waves continued to spread, and somehow, even the emperor heard it.
After listening to the eunuch's words, the emperor thought about something, and immediately gave the Lu residence five brocades. Coincidentally, these horses are also tribute from Nanjing weaving.
For the emperor, the women of the ministers are subordinates, and of course they cannot surpass his women, but once they serve him and become subordinates, it is another matter. Wang Yanqing's lie detection skills are sometimes very convenient to use as a shortcut. According to Lu Heng, she sorted out the information some time ago.
Serving for Daming, not to mention using a few satin, even embezzling the emperor would feel nothing. The emperor did not criticize the morals of his subjects, he only criticized the trash.
When the emperor's reward was sent to the Lu Mansion, the capital was silent again. The Xueguang Duan incident seems to be a petty fight between the female relatives, but the attitude of the palace reflected behind it is very intriguing. The emperor was undoubtedly announcing to the ministers that he trusted Lu Heng, and even if Lu Heng did something out of the ordinary, the emperor would not care.
After the emperor's beating, the various houses settled down at once, and they no longer dared to impeach Lu Heng. Hong Wanqing was originally unhappy that Fu Tingzhou had neglected her, so she ran to make things difficult for Wang Yanqing, and ended up in such a fate.
In her experience, she should be punished for asking for things that don't match her identity, such as the concubine's clothes surpassing that of the first daughter's, and the concubine's doting more than the wife's. She has seen her mother use many tricks such as using a knife to kill, using force to fight, and the effect is very good. How could the concubines not be jealous, but instead help Wang Yanqing to speak
Hong Wanqing didn't know that after getting married, what she faced was not the back house, but the court.
After this incident, the Fu family blamed her, and her mother's family also sent someone to tell her that she cried several times in the room and had no face to go out for a long time.
In the Lu Mansion, Wang Yanqing also mentioned this to Lu Heng. Wang Yanqing put the lantern on the table and asked, "Did you do things outside?"
In his own home, Lu Heng did not shy away. He motioned for Wang Yanqing to come over, hugged the person on his lap, and said casually, "She's not worthy. I'm just adding a little more to the fire."
Otherwise, how did the emperor hear what Hong Wanqing said in the harem
For Lu Heng, he didn't even have to come out in person to clean up the person, he only needed to pinch the other's family's neck, and then someone would naturally clean up her.
Dare to embarrass Wang Yanqing, where did Hong Wanqing have the courage? Lu Heng was not willing to embarrass his own Qingqing.
Except in bed.
Wang Yanqing sat in his arms as usual, and leaned on Lu Heng's shoulder naturally: "Why?"
Lu Heng was a little amused by this question, and said casually, "It's just that she offended you."
Seeing Wang Yanqing's expression, Lu Heng raised his eyebrows: "Why, don't you believe me?"
Wang Yanqing felt that it was inevitable, but she definitely couldn't say the same to Lu Heng. She took the initiative to wrap her arms around Lu Heng's waist and shook it coquettishly: "Of course I believe it. But, is it just because of such a trivial matter?"
"Your business is not a trivial matter." Lu Heng took advantage of Wang Yanqing's initiative, and casually replied, "By the way, take care of a few flies."
Wang Yanqing understood as soon as he heard it: "Is someone impeaching you again?"
Lu Heng smiled and corrected his wife in his arms: "Someone has been impeaching me."
At the most exaggerated time, Lu Heng received more than fifty impeachments in two days. It can be seen that he has done a good job in the affairs of Jinyiwei.
Wang Yanqing thought of something, but quickly suppressed it and did not reveal it. Seeing it, Lu Heng said, "What do you want to ask? There's no need to hide it with me."
Being seen through, Wang Yanqing felt a little embarrassed and defended himself: "I didn't."
"Something must have crossed your mind just now." Lu Heng nodded her eyebrows with a smile, and said calmly, "What do you want to ask?"
Wang Yanqing was really curious. She was afraid that he would get angry, so she leaned on him, raised her head and asked, "Is it true that they impeached?"
Lu Heng's eyes were smiling, and when he looked down at her, his expression was strong and calm: "What do you think?"
Wang Yanqing didn't speak, even if she was with her day and night, she didn't fully understand the man beside her. But Wang Yanqing felt that at least the corruption part of the impeachment might be true.
Her voice became smaller unconsciously, and her fingers unconsciously buckled Lu Heng's girdle: "How much industry do you have under your name?"
Looking at her appearance, Lu Heng couldn't help laughing: "It's useless. You want to check husband's account, but you're still so weak?"
Wang Yanqing rarely asks for things from others. After being tapped by him, her face turned red. She hurriedly said, "I didn't doubt you..."
"No need to explain." Lu Heng stopped her, looked her in the eyes and said, "You are my wife and have the same power as me. Next time you want to see what you want to see, just tell the housekeeper directly."
Wang Yanqing sat quietly in Lu Heng's arms. After a while, he raised his eyes stubbornly and said, "I don't doubt you."
Lu Heng looked at the pair of deer-like pupils and wanted to kiss her eyes: "I know."
He understood Wang Yanqing's thoughts. It turned out that she thought she was his adopted sister, and she had no involvement in the affairs of the mansion. She trusted and avoided suspicion. Now that she's his wife, it's hard not to worry when she sees him being impeached.
She wanted to get to know him, at least to know which of those infamous names were true and which were false.
Lu Heng didn't mind. From the moment he decided to marry Wang Yanqing, he made the biggest gamble in his life. He shared his safety and life with Wang Yanqing, as well as his wealth and power.
Change her to get along day and night, and spend the rest of her life with her. She was able to ask these words today, indicating that he was lucky and won another bet.
The next day, the butler really brought the account book of the Lu House and said, "Madam, this is the property of the governor in the capital. The accounts from other places have not been paid yet, so the old slave asked them to sort them out and send them as soon as possible."
Wang Yanqing looked at the hill-like account book on the table, and hurriedly said, "No. I just asked casually, not to check the account. You can just follow the normal account settlement process."
The housekeeper should be, bowing his hands and standing aside, in case his wife asks. Wang Yanqing didn't expect that she casually mentioned that Lu Heng really brought the ledger. She looked at it for a long time, and finally pulled out the simplest book from the hill.
Wang Yanqing seems to understand, but many have to ask the housekeeper to get a general idea. She didn't want to check accounts, she just wanted to estimate Lu Heng's flow. After she flipped through a few books, she became more and more frightened in her heart.
Silk, restaurants, pawnshops, and water transportation, Lu Heng, a well-known businessman, has all been involved. Some of these were given to him by others, some were taken over by officials at a low price after they ransacked their homes, some were invested by Lu Heng to run them, and some were put on by other people's names and actually returned to Lu Heng.
Wang Yanqing couldn't count even if she only knew the names. She looked at the remaining half of the ledger and silently gave up the estimation.
After Lu Heng came back, he saw Wang Yanqing being gloomy, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Madam is not in high spirits after checking the account. It seems that I am in danger?"
Lu Heng actually knew what Wang Yanqing was worried about. He grew up in such an environment and felt that it didn't matter, but in the eyes of Wang Yanqing, who had been educated in etiquette and law since childhood, his actions were too dangerous.
Lu Heng didn't take it to heart. As long as he had real power in his hands, these things couldn't shake him in the slightest. If he lost real power and his life was gone, what would he do with his wealth
Life is full of joy, and a life without risk is too boring.
Lu Heng was reluctant to mention this heavy topic, and deliberately teased Wang Yanqing with a joke. Wang Yanqing understood Lu Heng's intentions, but he was still furious when he saw him laughing and rambling.
Wang Yanqing said angrily, "I didn't know about it before, but when I saw it today, I realized that the governor is really good at making money. Even if you hide a dozen petites in a golden house outside, I'm afraid I won't be able to see it. "
Hearing this, Lu Heng smiled and hugged Wang Yanqing, pressing his thumb meaningfully on her back: "Is there anyone outside me, don't you know?"
He was very suggestive, she had a good conversation with him, and he thought about it again. Wang Yanqing wanted to have a cold face, but his fingers were full of strength and skill, causing a large spark on her back. Wang Yanqing's slender back muscles trembled, and her spine climbed to the numb soreness. Her face quickly turned red, "I don't know."
"Then I have to work harder tonight." Lu Heng said solemnly, "Otherwise, Madam doubts my loyalty."
It's okay to question his character, but it's not okay to question the other side of him.
Lu Heng wrapped his arms around Wang Yanqing's waist, his chin resting on her neck, and his breath scratched at Wang Yanqing's ears like a feather: "Just right, the custom-made chair has arrived. Let's go and have a look?"
Wang Yanqing's ears instantly turned red.
