Seeing some good luck, Qu Qingju was not interested, and asked Mujin to take a snack for her to pass the time.
"Old everyone, why didn't you see Zhong'er from your family today?" Concubine Shu looked at Wei Qing'e, who was sitting upright, with a pity, "There are few children in the palace, so it always looks a little deserted."
"Back to the concubine, Zhong'er has been suffering from a cold these two days. My daughter-in-law was worried that he would enter the palace and spread the disease to the nobles, so she left him in the mansion." He Zhong is Wei Qing'e's child. Hearing Concubine Shu's mention of the child, her heart tightened, but a gentle smile appeared on her face, and she said in a respectful tone, "wait for him, my daughter-in-law will bring him in to greet the empress."
"So that's the case," Concubine Shu nodded when she heard the words, and after instructing the people around her to get the tonic for Wei Qing'e, she smiled, "This child should always be careful, the weather is cold these days, you are a mother. , you have to put more effort into it." This attitude was like that of a mistress.
Wen Guiconcubine, who was sitting next to Wei Qing'e, didn't say a word and kept a soft smile on her face.
Wei Qing'e replied yes, but tilted her head and put a thousand-layer cake for Wen Guiconcubine herself, "Mother concubine, try this cake."
"Sweet but not greasy, it's very good," Wen Guiconi's face became more and more gentle, and after taking two bites of the mille crepe, "you don't have to take care of me all the time, you can also bring in some things yourself."
"It's a blessing for my daughter-in-law to be able to use it well." Wei Qing'e put down her chopsticks and poured a glass of plum wine for Wen Guibi with a smile, "This wine is not intoxicating, and it goes well with the thousand-layer cake."
"The old people are really virtuous," Concubine Shu's smile softened a bit. She glanced at Qin Bailu, who was holding a wine glass beside her, and felt a little uncomfortable, so she turned to Concubine Jing and said, "Sister, what do you say? is not it?"
Concubine Jing glanced at Concubine Shu and said with a smile, "These daughters-in-law are all filial and good children. Sister, don't envy Wen Guiconcubine, and forget about your own good daughter-in-law." When she goes into the water, when she has no brain
Knowing that her mother-in-law was unhappy, Qin Bailu put down the wine glass in her hand, and instead personally made a piece of crab meat for Concubine Shu and put it into her bowl.
Concubine Shu Gui took a sip and said lightly, "The crabs in winter are not as tender as those in autumn. Such big crabs are just good looking."
Qin Bailu's hand holding the chopsticks clenched tightly, and finally he could only laugh and say: "Mother-in-law's words are reasonable, it's better to try this bad duck tongue, daughter-in-law tastes fine."
"No need," Concubine Shu said with a smile, "You can use it yourself, I don't have much appetite."
"Bengong looks good," Concubine Jing Gui looked at Qu Qingju, "Daughter-in-law, bring it to Bengong to taste."
Seeing that the other party wanted to show off her appearance, Qu Qing Ju had no choice but to pick two for Concubine Jing with a smile on her sleeves, and she thoughtfully pinched the brittle bone at the base of her tongue.
"You honest child, don't patronize me," Concubine Jing finished eating the duck tongue, smiled and asked the maid behind him to serve Qu Qingju a bowl of soup, "We women drink more soup, there are many benefits."
Qu Qing Ju raised the bowl with a smile, and said affectionately, "Thank you, Mother Concubine." Then she buried her head and drank honestly.
Concubine Shu Gui looked at this scene of a mother's kindness and filial piety, and snorted coldly, but the anger in her heart was even more unsatisfactory.
In a good mood, Concubine Jing wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and the stupid woman embarrassed her daughter-in-law in front of others.
There is something to go back to my own room to make trouble, after all, my daughter-in-law is also a dignified princess. This place is full of clansmen’s orders, and my daughter-in-law has lost her face. It’s hard to be a mother-in-law. , and let others see jokes.
On the men's table, the four brothers of the He family and several old princes of the clan were sitting at the table on the right, but the old princes were very knowledgeable and very polite to the four of them.
He Heng sat between He Yuan and He Qi, talking to everyone present with a smile on his face, with a graceful and dignified manner.
"Fourth brother's good things are coming, and today we should have two more drinks with the brothers," He Qi held up the glass and said to He Ming, "Come!"
He Ming's face was already stained with drunkenness, but he couldn't refuse the request of the eldest brother, so he had to hold the glass with a bitter face: "Thank you eldest brother, my brother will do it first as a respect."
He Yuan's fair fingers rubbed the rim of the glass, watching the boss toast to a table of people with a bold look, he raised his eyebrows and flicked the glass, "Brother is good at drinking."
"Haha, eldest brother can't do anything else, this amount of alcohol is acceptable," He Qi reached out and patted He Yuan's shoulder, so that the wine in He Yuan's cup spilled out, "You can't drink as delicately as you are. "
Looking at the back of his hand that had been spilled, He Yuan put down the wine glass in disgust, took out a handkerchief and wiped the back of his hand, before sneering: "Brother is not as good as eldest brother who often goes to restaurants and teahouses, and his alcohol intake is naturally not as bold as eldest brother."
As if he didn't hear the sarcasm in those words, He Qi smiled and said, "It's okay for a man not to drink, second brother, do you think that's the truth?"
"It's not necessarily men who can drink, and men don't necessarily like to drink," He Heng smiled and raised his glass to He Qi, "Occasionally drinking two glasses of wine alone is a pleasure, but if good wine is life-threatening, thank you for not being sensitive. It's okay. My brother is not as good at drinking as my elder brother, and this cup is for my elder brother." After speaking, regardless of He Qi's reaction, he raised his head and drank it all.
He Yuan looked at it coldly, sneered disdainfully, and took the wine glass that the eunuch had replaced.
"Second brother's words also make sense," He Qi smiled straightforwardly and drank a glass of wine, but instead of continuing to toast, he sat in his seat and had a feast.
He Heng lowered his head and shook the empty wine glass in his hand with a chuckle.
☆、33、The first day of the palace
After the wine and vegetables were removed, all the affiliated countries came forward to pay tribute. Qu Qing Ju looked at these honest envoys and the attitude of the people around them for granted, and suddenly understood that what constitutes power is the truth.
As the eunuch read out the lists sent by the envoys one by one, the payers of the tribute were brightened, and the payers of the lesser looked like they were in poverty. .
After these envoys retired, another half an hour had passed. Qu Qingju held the tea cup and gained a new understanding of the Dalong Dynasty. This was a powerful dynasty, and it was even a place of pilgrimage in the eyes of other small countries. In this case, the possibility of foreign wars in the Dalong Dynasty in recent decades is very small, so it is no wonder that Emperor Qingde has such a soft temper.
At this moment, a heavy drum sounded suddenly, and Qu Qing Ju saw the emperor and the queen leave the hall and knelt down on the white jade stone platform outside the hall. She was stunned for a moment as she followed the crowd out, then knelt down with Concubine Jing, listening to Emperor Qing De reciting a prayer to the heaven, as if begging for a good weather and a prosperous life for the people in the coming year.
After the fireworks exploded above Qu Qingju's head, she woke up with a start. At this time, the emperor just finished praying. She helped Concubine Jing to stand up and step aside. Then the singer's singing sounded in her ears, and some laughter came into her ears. She raised her head and saw the colorful fireworks explode. She couldn't help blinking, her eyes seemed a little uncomfortable.
Concubine Jing stared at the fireworks for a while, then lowered her head and said: "The emperor and the queen have already returned to the palace, it's getting late, you should go back too." After speaking, she held the hand of the palace maid, "This palace is also sleepy. ."
"Mother-in-law, daughter-in-law will take you back." Qu Qingju held Concubine Jing's hand, and seeing that her brow was a little tired, she took the cloak that Mujin had prepared for her and put it on Concubine Jing.
"No need," Concubine Jing glanced at the long red dress on Qu Qingju's body, and gently tied the cape to the front knot, "It's cold at night, you and Heng'er go back to the house earlier, this place is not far from Zhongjing Palace. , Ben Gong will go back in a chariot." After saying that, he waved his hand, and stopped talking to Qu Qing Ju, and walked away with the hand of the palace maid.
Qu Qing Ju stood on the spot for a while, and then supported Mu Hibiscus down the high white marble stone steps.
At the foot of the stone steps, the four brothers of the He family stood a few steps away from each other. He Yuan's face was icy cold. Behind him was Qin Bailu, who was expressionless. The relationship between the two was not deep. Still looking aggrieved, He Yuan turned his face even more, and the two stood with a stiff face and an arm's distance from each other.
Qin Bailu resented her mother-in-law for not showing her face, and complained that He Yuan was not gentle enough with her. Originally, he had already suffered grievances, and he had to look at He Yuan's face. The anger in his heart was even worse, and he didn't care what others thought, he just stood with a sullen face.
Looking at her appearance, He Yuan looked away impatiently, and when he looked up, he saw a red figure descending from the white jade steps, white and red in the flickering fireworks, looking a little indescribably coquettish. He calmed down, and when he was approached, he realized that it was He Heng's princess. Seeing that it was his brother's woman, he didn't even bother to look at it, he looked away lightly, turned around and left without saying a word, obviously not intending to say goodbye to his brothers.
He Ming wanted to speak and walk slowly, but seeing that the eldest brother and the second brother didn't seem to see this scene, he hesitated for a while, but lowered his head.
"Hands are a little cold," He Heng walked down the stone steps, and when Qu Qingju stepped down the last white jade step, he took her hand, took off his cloak, and wrapped Qu Qingju tightly. When it was real, he bowed to He Qi and He Ming and said, "Big brother and fourth brother, I'll take one step first."
"Second brother, please," He Qi glanced at the second brother and sister who were wrapped tightly, and waved his hand with a smile: "It's getting late, the second brother and the second brother and sister should come back earlier." No wonder the second brother was protected Like an eyeball, there is also a not very good purse hanging on his body. He looked at He Heng with some teasing eyes, these two younger siblings were indeed pretty.
He Ming honestly did not glance at him, he respectfully bowed and said, "Second brother, walk slowly."
The fox fur was itchy on the tip of her nose, Qu Qingju stretched out her hand and lifted it away, just in time to see He Ming's orderly bowing gesture.
"Fourth brother stay," He Heng grabbed Qu Qingju's hand and smiled at He Ming, "My brother, you don't have to be so polite." After speaking, he turned around and left.
He Ming looked at the back of the second brother striding away in puzzlement, and the steps he took have not yet recovered.
"You'll understand when you get married," He Qi reached out and patted his shoulder. Just as Wei Qing'e came out, he said, "Brother is back, so you should go back to the house earlier." After speaking, he walked away carelessly. .
He Ming looked at He Qi in confusion as he walked away, and when his sister-in-law came over, he saluted again. In such a short time, several brothers walked cleanly, but he felt that they were even more difficult to understand.
It was rare that there was no curfew in the palace tonight, so He Ming treated others almost well before walking to An Guiconcubine's palace.
Concubine Angui's bedroom is not big, and the furnishings are not expensive, but because she has a prince, the servants in the palace do not dare to be slow. Compared with other concubines who are not favored, her life has been very good, at least there should be things are never missing.
The mother and son were afraid of being suspicious of others, so they didn't have much time to see each other on weekdays, but when they met, they talked more. When An Guibi heard her son mention what happened before and after the dinner party, she couldn't help but smile: "How are they none of our business? As for what King Ning said..." Seeing her son's confused expression, she smiled The smile became more obvious, "It's just a few jokes, you don't have to think about it."
Duan Wang's daughter-in-law is indeed exquisite, and the royal family is not short of such beautiful women, but Duan Wang's daughter-in-law has some other flavors in it. She has been in the harem for many years, and she naturally understands how attractive such a woman is to men.
As a princess, with such a beauty, I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. Thinking of the way Princess Duan accompanies Concubine Jing to eat tea and snacks, An Guicon shakes her head, it's not easy to respect Concubine Jing.
Recalling that she was the same age when she first entered the palace, she wanted the princess to live comfortably in the future, thinking of this, she said earnestly: "Morning, treat your daughter-in-law better in the future, this woman will not be easy. "
He Ming filially responded, but he still didn't understand how the matter involved his daughter-in-law who had not entered the door. Perhaps, he was too stupid, Prince Xiao Ming thought helplessly.
After the New Year's Day, it is the first day of the first month of the new year. Qu Qingju and He Heng were sitting in the main hall of the palace, and the people in the palace were in charge of each other.
Listening to the auspicious words that people were constantly changing patterns, Qu Qingju motioned for Hibiscus and Hollyhock to reward these people. Seeing the smiling faces of these people, she remembered how she felt when she received dividends from the brokerage company in her previous life, and she was probably similar to these people now. .
"The servant kowtows to the prince and princess. May the prince and princess have a prosperous new year and everything goes well in the coming year." Qian Changxin and Minghe are the proud people around He Heng. The blessings they said were very plain, but the loyalty on their faces more obvious than anyone.
Qu Qing Ju glanced at the two of them, then looked at He Heng and said, "My lord, it's not easy for them to follow you around every day, you have to reward them well."
He Heng said with a smile: "Our family is the princess, you call the shots, and it is up to you to decide how to reward."
All the stewards present held their breaths when they heard what the prince said. The princess has been controlling the backyard these days, but some people still want to find a way to take advantage of it, but today the prince has said it so clearly that some people have cold sweats on their foreheads. .
"If that's the case, then the concubine will take the place of the concubine." When there were many people, Qu Qingju still called herself "concubine" according to the rules, although she was extremely displeased with this self-proclaimed, "Mujin, give two purses to the two father-in-laws. "
The two of them took the purse, without pinching or looking, they kowtowed and thanked, with an extremely respectful attitude.
As expected of someone who can serve by He Heng's side, there is nothing wrong with it. She glanced at everyone and said, "Today's first day, everyone doesn't have to be so cautious, let's all retire."
The servants kowtowed again before bowing and backing out. When they left the main hall, some people envied the two chief stewards who got the green eyes of the two masters, and they were all carefully flattering them. Some people also took the opportunity to want to know what was in the purse, but they were casually dismissed.
After the two sent the people around, they opened the purse. There was nothing rare in the purse, but a silver note of fifty taels. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief. If the princess really gave something rare, it would be a trouble.
The two exchanged glances, and Qian Changxin sighed: "Our princess is not easy, we two brothers will have to work hard in the future." Fifty taels of silver is a lot of money for ordinary people, but for them, it is not a big deal. How rare. When the princess gave them this number, it showed that the princess did not intend to win over them. She also told them that she looked up to them, but she didn't want them to do things they shouldn't do.
Fifty-two days, just in line with their identities, isn't it just to tell them to keep their duties
Not long after the stewards left, the women from He Heng came. Among these women, in addition to the four famous concubines, there is also a concubine named Bai Zhi.
He Heng originally had three rooms, but Yun Qing was assigned to someone from Zhuangzi, and Ban Xia was punished by Qu Qing Ju as a rough laundry maid, so the only thing left was Bai Zhi, whom Qu Qing Ju had never seen before.
After these women bowed to him, Qu Qing Ju didn't have any virtuous words to say, she turned her head to He Heng and said, "Do you have anything to say, my lord?"
He Heng was puzzled, but he really had nothing to say about the concubine, so he shook his head.
"Since the lord has nothing to say, you all step back," Qu Qingju held up the tea cup, "Mujin, take out the red envelopes I prepared for you, and send a few out."
The concubines were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect to be kicked out so soon. What kind of admonitions should be given in other houses? Shouldn't it be said to serve the prince well, obey the rules of the palace, etc.
Holding the red envelopes one by one, they left the main hall and did not respond. Luo Yinxiu was stunned: "Let's just go back like this?"
"What are you keeping if you don't go back?" Han Qinghe closed the cloak on his body and walked away without looking back.
Bai Zhi looked back at the main hall with some reluctance, and then slowly raised her steps and walked away.
Inside the hall, Qu Qing Ju stood up and moved, "How many beauties are you reluctant to bear, Your Highness?"
He Heng put down the tea cup in his hand, then got up and smiled helplessly: "It's almost noon, let's go to dinner together." After that, he took Qu Qingju's hand and said softly, "Don't think too much."
When Qu Qing Ju heard this, she raised her lips and smiled, but there was not much smile in her eyes.
☆、34
"I thought the New Year's Eve would be easier, but I'd be busier than usual," Qu Qing Ju held a thick stack of New Year's gift lists from various governments, rubbed her forehead and put the list aside, "Wait. After these things are cleared up, the year is almost over."
"This New Year is not just for a lively and festive New Year, there are naturally more gifts." Mujin squeezed her shoulders for her, while persuading, "It's really tiring to go to the palaces of the princes these days, and you will go to the palace of Xiangqinghou tomorrow. , I can finally relax."
Qu Qing Ju was very satisfied with Mujin's craftsmanship, she squinted her eyes and said, "It's not that simple, it's not just me who will go to Xiangqinghou Mansion tomorrow, but also the other ladies in the mansion, it's not the same lively. ."
The custom of visiting each other after New Year's Eve has not changed much. Qu Qing Ju has been annoyed when she hears the drama these days, and she is disgusting when she sees the meat. leg.
"Princess," Yu Hairpin walked in, and seeing Qu Qingju's soothing expression, he said, "Princess, the Marquis of Baorong has sent you a message."
"Marquis Bao Rong Mansion?" Qu Qing Ju recalled that Mrs. Marquis Bao Rong was extremely disrespectful to the Liang family, and she was a member of He Yuan's faction, she waved her hand, "Put it down, let someone reply that I don't have time. ." Bao Ronghou's family is so embarrassed to post to her, it is really funny that she thinks that if she doesn't like Liang's family, she will give face to his family.
The hosta put away the post and turned to say: "I heard that a lot of beauties have been selected from various places to enter the palace this year, and I don't know if our mansion will enter."
Qu Qing Ju moved her neck to ease the soreness in her neck and said lightly: "This kind of thing that didn't happen, don't worry about it. Instead, let Huang Yang keep an eye on the house, and if someone makes trouble, just tell me directly. I."
The jade hairpin listened to the indifferent tone of the princess, and thought that the princess had a good mind, so she stopped the topic and said, "There has been nothing in the house for the past two days, but the concubine Han and the concubine Feng were arguing a few words in the garden a few days ago. "
Qu Qingju smiled when she heard the words, "Don't worry about them, wait a few days." Han Qinghe is a good player at seeing the wind. When Feng Zijin was favored, he always followed Feng Zijin's lead. Now that her own princess is in charge of power, she naturally has to take a stand.
This kind of person is not interesting, Qu Qing Ju was too lazy to watch her act, and sighed: "You took someone to count all the gifts sent from outside, and put them in the warehouse with Qian Changxin and the others."
After hearing the words, the hosta was blessed and retired.
Mujin hesitated and said: "Princess, concubine Han's personality is fickle, and this servant is worried about her thoughts in the future."
"No matter how much she thinks," Qu Qing Ju chuckled, "She is the oldest woman around the lord, and the lord has already despised her, so she naturally wants to find someone to take refuge in, and I don't have to stare at such a woman every day. people."
Mujin immediately understood what the princess meant, no matter how powerful this flea was, it was nothing but a flea and could not become a tiger. If you spend too much energy on fleas, you will lose watermelon and pick up sesame seeds.
In the afternoon, He Heng came back from a banquet and drank half a cup of tea before covering up his drinking. After someone brought water in, he saw a few girls follow him, and waved his hand: "Go back, I don't need you to serve me. ."
The people in the room retreated. He took off his clothes and soaked in the tub for a while before getting up to dry his body. After putting on his coat, he called someone in and said, "In the future, this king will not need anyone to take a bath." Fang Cai At the banquet, I heard a joke. The son of a certain noble family moved his hands and feet while the servant girl was serving him, but he was caught by his powerful direct wife. During this quarrel and negotiation, the man's life was injured, and I heard that it was already abolished.
This matter made the male guests at the table feel a faint pain in the lower half of their body, and also made He Heng lose his interest in letting the maid serve the bath, at least for a while. He Heng felt a little itchy in his throat when he recalled the delicious bath with Qu Qingju.
After getting dressed, He Heng straightened the azure blue purse around his waist: "Go to the princess."
Ming He, who was waiting on the side, had already become accustomed to it. He took off the prince's cloak and followed, signaling that the little eunuchs who were waiting behind him would all follow. Qian Changxin has deposited the New Year's gifts for the various governments into the treasury, and he needs to cheer up now.
It was not early for He Heng to return to the mansion. After taking a bath, it was already dinner time. Qu Qingju saw him coming, and the two happened to have dinner together. Although there were many vegetarian dishes on the table, the two of them ate relatively happily.
After the meal, it was still early and He Heng had a great chess game, so he insisted on playing chess with Qu Qing Ju, so Qu Qing Ju, who only knew the rules of chess, gave up his life to accompany the gentleman in desperation.
If God gave He Heng another chance, he would definitely not let Qu Qing Ju play chess with him. Looking at the messy chess game in front of him, and Qu Qing Ju's excited eyes, he reluctantly made a move.
"Oh, my lord, why did you get down here!" Qu Qing Ju saw that her chess pieces were blocked, and couldn't help but pull back the pieces she played before, "Then I won't get down here, change place, change place."
"The gentleman has no regrets, how many moves have you ruined tonight?" He Heng couldn't help sighing, this was the worst chess game he had ever played in his life, no one. Even when he first learned to play chess, it didn't bother him now.
"I am a woman and have the right to regret it. The gentleman was made by your men, so it doesn't matter if you tell me," Qu Qing Ju put Bai Zi back into He Heng's hand, picked up the black piece and put it in another place, "Just Here it is."
He Heng pretended not to see the loophole, and moved to a random place. After seeing Qu Qingju happily eating his piece, he said, "Didn't you just say that women also have great wisdom?"
"What does a woman's great wisdom have to do with me regretting chess?" Qu Qing Ju raised her eyebrows, looking surprised, "Your Highness, you must have misunderstood." After speaking, she made another move.
He Heng wanted to say that it was time for him to play, but when he saw the other party's delighted expression, he couldn't say a word. His chess skills, which he was proud of, were a complete defeat in front of his princess.
When people are just learning something, their interest is often the greatest, and Qu Qing Ju is now in the mood for it.
After playing chess for nearly an hour, He Heng looked at the messy chess game, ignoring Qu Qing Ju's still interested face, got up and walked in front of Qu Qing Ju, bent down and picked him up, "It's getting late. , Qing Ju should rest in peace with me."
Qu Qing Ju stretched out her arms and wrapped her arms around his neck: "Then you will accompany me tomorrow."
He Heng felt that his throat was blocked, but the smile on his face was still gentle: "We'll talk about it when we get up tomorrow." After speaking, he hugged the person and walked into the inner room.
Seeing this, Minghe, Mujin and others hurriedly took them out. However, when the two of them retired, they both thought to themselves that the princess's level of chess was indeed stinky, and it was rare that the prince could endure it for so long.
I don't know if I was holding too much breath while playing chess, but after finishing with Qu Qingju, He Heng felt very happy. By the light of the night pearl, he saw her looking into his eyes. Seeing this, he couldn't help but caress the tender skin with his hand, the touch under his hand was so comfortable that he couldn't bear to remove his hand.
"Itchy!" When He Heng's hand moved to her waist, Qu Qing Ju couldn't help but gently pushed her knees against the other person, who knew she was in the wrong place, and let the hand move directly from her waist to the bottom.
The evil hand made Qu Qing Ju move, but He Heng held her down. He rubbed against her chest and said, "Is it itchy here?" But the hand reached a warm place.
"Well..." Qu Qing Ju felt a little soft under her body. He Heng was considered a top-quality man when it came to bed matters, at least when the other party was enjoying it, Qu Qing Ju could also enjoy it herself. She stretched her arms around the other's back, her moist lips brushed against his cold auricle, and exhaled a breath of heat, "It's itchy too."
This action ignited a fire, and He Heng lightly bit her broken bone: "I'll relieve the itch for you."
It was another fiery sport. After the two of them both felt refreshed, Qu Qing Ju leaned against He Heng, rubbing against the warmth of each other and fell asleep.
He Heng put his hand on Qu Qing Ju's waist, and seeing her sleeping appearance, he also closed his eyes and saw that she fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Qu Qing Ju was sitting on the bedside, looking at the man who wiped his face with a jinpa, and said with some surprise, "Your Highness wants to accompany me to the Hou residence?"
"Isn't it normal for my husband to accompany his first-married daughter to the elders to pay New Year's greetings?" He Heng threw the handkerchief back into the basin and motioned for the maid who was kneeling and holding the basin to step down. He walked up to Qu Qingju and squeezed Qu Qing with his hand. Ju's cheeks, the smooth feeling made him feel good, "Get up and eat quickly, you'll have to dress up and change clothes later." After speaking, no matter what Qu Qing Ju thought, she threw her hands out of the inner room.
Qu Qing Ju was stunned for a while, a little speechless, a man who is satisfied in a certain way is indeed gentler.
After breakfast, while Qu Qingju was putting on her makeup, He Heng sat beside him with great interest, and watched the maids come up with boxes of jewelry, and said, "Put on the buoy that I gave. "
Hearing these words, Qu Qingju's daring hand turned a corner and picked up the jade hairpin that Qingluan Buyao handed to Wanfa. Seeing that this unique Buyao was just worn in her hair, Qu Qingju took it. Qing Ju curved the corners of her mouth and said, "This step is so beautiful that I can't bear to wear it."
"No matter how beautiful you are, someone needs to wear it," He Heng walked behind her, stroked the step, reached out and took the forehead pendant on the jade hairpin, put it on for Qu Qingju himself, and bent over to look at the pendant in the mirror. She, "As long as you like it, what are these vulgar things?"
Qu Qing Ju touched the pendant on her forehead and raised her head to look at He Heng. There was a gentle smile on the other party's face, as if an infatuated man was looking at his beloved woman.
She smiled and lowered her head, picked up Meidai to make Liu Yemei more beautiful, and after drawing flowers between her eyebrows, she raised her head again and smiled shyly, "How about this?"
He Heng felt that he was amazed by this smile, the smile on his face was so gentle that it almost dripped with water: "Very good." Reaching out his hand to pull up the person in front of the mirror, he sighed, "The so-called 'hu rhinoceros have white teeth, double moths' Frowning and green eyebrows. The red face is like a lotus flower, and the plain skin is like condensed fat.' That's all, but unfortunately there are too few poems in the world to describe my mood at this time."
"In the eyes of the lord, am I so good?" Qu Qing Ju tilted her head, "I don't believe it."
"Have you heard of Qing Ju that there is Xi Shi in the eyes of lovers?" He Heng smiled and reached out and stroked the blue silk on her temples, "Forget it, you will understand later, it's getting late, we should leave."
The hosta, who was waiting for the dressing, and other girls, all stood shyly at the moment, all feeling that the relationship between the prince and the princess was deep.
On the other hand, Qian Changxin, Minghe, and Mujin, who were waiting behind the door, looked calmer. They all bowed their heads honestly, as if they couldn't hear what the prince and princess were saying, and they were puppets who couldn't hear or speak. .
☆、35 · Tian Family
Xiangqing Hou Tian Jinke is not yet fifty years old. Although he is upright but flexible, he is quite famous in the capital. In the entire capital, he clearly did not give face to Changde Gongfu. Many people in the capital were obstructing his face and alienated him from Changde Gongfu. Nowadays, no one in the capital does not know that Princess Duan is close to the uncle's house of Xiangqinghoufu, and she treats Xiangqinghoufu as her own family.
In view of the fact that Changde's actions are not kind, there are many people who praise Tian Jinke for his love for friendship, otherwise who would care about his niece who doesn't even have a mother. Is not estrangement also retribution,
Today is the day when the Tian family entertains guests. Soon after the morning, guests began to arrive intermittently. Tian Jinke brought his two sons, Tian Kun and Tian Jun, to greet the male guests. When he was busy talking with the guests, he heard the housekeeper rushing over. Said, Duan Wangye is here.
"King Duan?" Tian Kun looked at the housekeeper in surprise, realizing that the guests around him were looking towards him, so he lowered his voice and said, "Father, why did King Duan come?"
Tian Jinke waved his hand: "The boss and I will go to the middle gate to meet the prince, and the second child will stay here to accompany the guests." After speaking, he strode out in a hurry.
Tian Jun looked at the backs of his father and brother, and turned around to see the curious faces of the guests. He laughed and fought with these people. He was also a little surprised. Their family didn't have much contact with Duan Wang, so it must have been a success. Did the lord really condescend for his sister
"Tian Er Gongzi, is this a distinguished guest?" A guest of the same age bowed to him, "I don't know who it is?"
Tian Jun returned the salute with a smile: "You are all distinguished guests in the mansion. When you arrive, everyone should have a few more drinks."
"Definitely, definitely." The man replied with a smile. Although he didn't hear anything, at least what Tian Jun said made him look good, and he didn't feel any resentment.
The others saw that there was no drama, and they all retracted their minds, no matter what, they will see it later. This person is noble, and he can't always be the emperor.
Tian Kun stood behind his father and watched the palanquin with the name of Duan Wangfu parked at the door of the residence.
Qian Changxin stepped forward and gave Tian Kun a bow, then bowed and opened the curtain. Tian Kun saw He Heng and Qu Qingju sitting side by side, there seemed to be some kind of intimacy between the two, he hurriedly lowered his head and didn't look any further.
"Cousin, you don't need to be too polite," He Heng took Qu Qingju's hand out of the sedan chair, and smiled, "It's all a family, so you can be so polite." After speaking, he stretched out his hand to ask Tian Kun to stand up straight, before talking to him. Qu Qing Ju walked into the gate of the Hou residence together.
"Uncle." Qu Qing Ju was deeply blessed, she looked at the middle-aged man in front of her, with a straight face and a tall figure, a man who could easily make people feel good.
As an uncle, Tian Jinke didn't see Qu Qingju very often. He gave Qu Qingju a virtual support and glanced at her quickly. Seeing that his niece seemed to be doing well, he bowed: "My lord, my princess."
"Please don't be too polite. You are the princess' uncle, and you are also the king's uncle." He Heng returned the ceremony, "Please don't be so polite."
Tian Jinke stood up straight with a smile, and said in a gentle tone, "If that's the case, I will have to go over the ceremony. Your Highness, please come with me." Although the smile on his face was much kinder, his words and deeds still abide by respect. humble. But even so, it still makes people feel that his attitude is indeed a lot closer.
Qu Qing Ju looked at her uncle, no wonder he was able to get along well in the capital, who wouldn't praise him for doing something like this, it shows how important something like emotional intelligence is.
The male guests and female relatives had separate banquets. After He Heng left with Tian Jinke, Qu Qing Ju smiled at Tian Kun, who was five steps away from her, and then turned to the sedan chair that had been prepared earlier.
Seeing the sedan chair being lifted away by Mammy Dali, Tian Kun had a smile on his face. Seeing that his sister seemed to be doing well, the family felt relieved. With his hands behind his back, he walked in slowly, and then the smile on his face faded a little, but this royal man's mind was changeable, and he didn't know if Duan Wang would treat his sister as well as he is now.
He is a man himself, so he naturally understands the thoughts of men, not to mention a man like Duan Wang who is used to seeing beauty
The sedan chair stopped after it entered the second door. Qu Qing Ju got off the sedan chair, and saw Luo Shi and a young girl standing not far away, she hurried a few steps to Luo Shi, and blessedly said, "I have seen my aunt. "
Luo Shi took the girl behind him and hurriedly returned a salute before reaching out and grabbing her hand and said, "You look thinner, come in with me quickly, the cold spring that has just started is terrible."
The elders all over the world are the same. When you see a younger generation who haven't seen each other for a long time, you always feel that the other person is thin. Hearing this, Qu Qing Ju smiled and held Luo Shi's hand affectionately: "Wherever you lose weight, the entire palace is under my control, and the people below don't dare to treat me slowly."
Luo Shi regarded her as a half-daughter, and when he saw her getting close to himself, he was naturally happy, and patted her hand lovingly and said, "You are not tired of taking care of such a big palace.
