The eldest princess came back to the capital suddenly, and as expected by Qu Qing Ju, something happened in the middle. In fact, it is not an accident, it is just that Bei Lubo, who has always been a good man, suddenly fell in love with the daughter of a small official family, and even brought her back to the mansion. What kind of person is the eldest princess, and she doesn't make a noise with him, and directly asks the woman to be sent home. Who knows that Bei Lubo is so angry that he has made her an outer room.
After the eldest princess knew about this, she took someone to smash the house outside Beilubo, and then returned to Beijing with her children. As for Beilubo, the eldest princess didn't care about it at all.
After listening to what happened, Qu Qing Ju said with emotion: "The so-called love between husband and wife is nothing more than that." The big reason why the eldest princess can have such courage is that she is the daughter of the emperor and the eldest princess who was born with dignity. When other women encounter such a thing, they just leave like this, who will seek justice for her
After Jinzhan finished the story from the beginning to the end, he whispered: "The servant also heard that the emperor and the empress knew about this matter. The emperor was very angry, and he had already issued a decree to let Bei Lubo go to Beijing."
A man like Bei Lubo is not really affectionate. He is just because of his identity as the eldest princess and has not met a tempting woman. Now that he met a young and tender girl, he forgot to send his wife, his children, and his daughter. own identity. In fact, what is the difference between such a man and those men who mess with flowers
He Heng went down to the back, his face was a little bad, it seemed that he also knew what happened in the palace of the eldest princess.
"Go to the eldest princess' mansion the day after tomorrow, please accompany her more," He Heng said, sighing, "This Bei Lubo is really outrageous."
When Qu Qing Ju heard the words, she pretended not to know: "What's wrong?"
He Heng paused for a moment before saying, "He has let down the eldest princess' heart, and the royal father has already called him back to Beijing in a rage."
Knowing that he didn't want to talk about such things in detail, Qu Qing Ju smiled and said, "It's getting late, let's have dinner."
He Heng glanced out, nodded and said, "It's getting late, I'll take you to see the lanterns after finishing the meal." He was still thinking about this, and he didn't want to use other people's affairs to affect the mood between the two, so he said , "There are a lot of people at night, I have someone prepare a gauze hat for you, it's better to go out for a walk."
Qu Qing Ju showed a smile: "Then let's use it quickly, I have to change clothes." Although she was wearing a beautiful dress, it was a floor-length dress, which was not suitable for going out.
Knowing that she wanted to go out, He Heng smiled and said, "Okay." Then he turned around to clean his hands and prepared to eat.
The meal was served with a small bowl of Lantern Festival first. Qu Qing Ju used half of the bowl, and then ate something casually, then began to rinse her mouth and wash her hands. When He Heng put down her chopsticks, she got up and went to the inner room to change.
Holding a cup of Xiaoshi tea, the smile on He Heng's face thickened a bit. Looking at the darkening sky outside, He Heng instructed Qian Changxin to bring someone to the carriage.
Qu Qingju changed into a green tunic skirt, and twisted her hair into a bun, and walked out to see He Heng sitting next to him drinking tea, she stepped forward and said, "My lord, what do you think of me like this?"
He Heng saw that she was wearing a delicate corset skirt, which was different from her usual laziness. In this way, she was a little more girlish, like a tender flower bud, which could come out of the water with a pinch.
"Very good," He Heng stepped forward and held her hand, let's go, it's about to start now. "
After sitting in the carriage for a while, I found that there were more and more noises on the street, as if entering a crowded place, but no one blocked the carriage. Although the carriage they are riding now does not have the logo of the palace, how can someone who can afford a double horse carriage have a low status
After the carriage went on for a while, it stopped. He Heng handed the gauze cap to Qu Qingju, "It's almost time for the river, get off with me." After speaking, he got off the carriage and extended his hand to her.
Qu Qing Ju handed over his hand to him and let him help himself out of the carriage. The gauze hat was made of unknown material. Although he looked at things outside through a thin layer of fog, he could still see them clearly. He Heng's hand was held by He Heng and tucked into the other's wide sleeves. She felt a little like a man and a woman in first love going out for a walk, but Qu Qing Ju knew very well that she was not an innocent girl, and the other party was not a young boy who was still in first love.
At this time, there were already beautiful lamps hanging on both sides of the river, and some stall owners hung a lot of lamps for people to spend some money to guess word puzzles, and those who guessed correctly were presented with Shangyuan lamps.
Behind the two were the eunuchs and guards in plain clothes, but they didn't let anyone squeeze them. They walked through the bustling crowd. Qu Qing Ju saw someone holding a river lantern and let them go by the river. Running around with the animal light, at this moment, she was in a good mood.
"What always says it's coming, but never really arrives?"
"wind?"
"cloud?"
When Qu Qing Ju heard this conversation, she couldn't help laughing. Seeing her smiling happily, He Heng said, "Why, Qing Ju knows?"
In her previous life, it was a brain teaser question on the winter vacation homework book for elementary school students.
"Of course I know," she looked back at the person who was still guessing, "it's tomorrow."
Hearing this answer, He Heng couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, "It is indeed tomorrow." He pulled the gauze cap behind him to make Qu Qingju wear more tightly before saying, "Qingju is so smart." , dragged her to a stall.
"Which one do you like?" He pointed to the hanging lamps.
Qu Qing Ju looked at it, pointed at the moon rabbit lamp and said, "That rabbit is quite cute."
He Heng motioned the stall owner to take down the Moon Rabbit Lamp, and checked the sign hanging on the lamp. It turned out to be the first couplet of a couplet, and asked for the second couplet.
Seeing this, Qian Changxin hurriedly gave money to the stall owner so that his master could respond to this couplet.
"Rabbit Soul even Yinhai..." Qu Qingju read out the first couplet. She was not good at this, and she didn't know if He Heng could answer it, so she was going to look at the other hanging Yuan lamps.
"Aoshan picks up Ziwei." Who knew that before Qu Qingju could see what was hanging on the nearest Shangyuan lantern, she heard He Heng pick up the next couplet, she raised her eyebrows, and then smiled: "It's amazing. "
"It's just a simple couplet," He Heng took the moon rabbit lantern from the stall owner and brought it to Qu Qing Ju, "Here it is."
After taking the lamp, Qu Qing Ju lifted it up and looked at it carefully before saying, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Seeing that Qu Qing Ju liked this lamp, the smile on He Heng's face became more and more obvious, but after walking a few steps, the smile on his face became less natural.
Because he saw that He Yuan was walking towards this side, and there was a woman next to him, just wearing a gauze hat, making it difficult to see her appearance.
Apparently, He Yuan, who was on the opposite side, also saw him, and after the two brothers had a meal, they approached each other.
"Second brother." He Yuan glanced at He Heng's side, retracted his gaze and said, "Second brother is in good spirits today."
"The same is true for the third brother," He Heng inadvertently turned to the side, just covering half of Qu Qingju's body behind him.
"I have seen King Duan, Princess Duan." At this moment, the woman beside He Yuan spoke up.
Qu Qing Ju raised her eyebrows hidden behind the gauze hat, she paused and said, "Third sister?"
How could Qu Yuesu and He Yuan go together? What are the people in Changde's manor going to do? !
☆、40
Qu Qing Ju felt that she didn't understand the situation in front of her. Although this era was not as harsh on women as it was in the past, Qu Yuesu, a young woman who had just reached her robe, just walked down the street with the prince who already had a second wife. , is it not so appropriate
Glancing at the gauze hat the other party was wearing, he could vaguely see his face, but it was even more fascinating. She was too lazy to care about the matter of Changde Gongfu, and in the end she didn't say much.
"It's my sister," Qu Yuesu's voice was as sweet as ever, even a little softer. She bowed slightly to Qu Qingju, "I never thought I would meet my sister here."
Originally, I called myself Duan Wangfei, but I said the third sister, but I changed the name to Convenience. I couldn't tell if I was dissatisfied with the filth between Qu Qingju and Changde's mansion. general.
"It's such a festive season, I'll come out for a walk," Qu Qing Ju didn't have the heart to talk more in front of the two princes and a woman she didn't know well, she opened her mouth like this, and stopped talking.
Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Qu Yuesu responded casually, and then she stopped talking. She was obviously a woman who knew how to advance and retreat. This move made Qu Qingju feel that Liang's family could raise such a daughter. Also a miracle.
The four-person room suddenly became quiet, and no one spoke. Suddenly, a splendid firework exploded in the sky. Qu Qing Ju looked up, only to see the dazzling fireworks when they dispersed, and the cheers of many people could be heard in her ears.
Qu Yuesu also raised her head, but only saw the dimness of the fireworks disappearing. She was looking at it unintentionally, and lowered her head to look at King Rui next to her. The handsome face of the other party made her cheeks slightly red.
"My brother has a painting boat by the river, it's better for the second brother and the second sister-in-law to go to the painting boat to enjoy the river lanterns," He Yuan said calmly, "I heard that there will be fireworks for half an hour tonight, so it won't be too noisy to watch on the painting boat. "Second brother, don't despise your younger brother's rudimentary painting boat." After speaking, there was a hint of an arrogant smile on his face.
Hearing the other party mentioning the painting boat, He Heng knew that the painting boat was made for the third child by someone from the Father's Special Work Department. Although he had never been there, he had heard others say that this boat with carved railings and paintings is extremely beautiful. . Since the other party intends to show off, he can't directly refuse.
"It's so good, the second brother hasn't had a chance to watch the younger brother's painting boat yet. It's rare to meet him tonight, but I'm going to bother you a lot." After speaking, he turned around to hold Qu Qingju's hand, and said with a small smile: "The river reward Lights, but they don't have any flavor."
Qu Qing Ju scratched his palm with her index finger and nodded lightly.
He Yuan looked at the loving looks of the two of them, put his hands behind him with a bit of greasy crookedness, and looked away.
Qu Yuesu next to her was a little emotional. The eldest sister, who is so dull-tempered, has gained Duan Wang's friendship, and even her temperament is much stronger than before, which shows how much Duan Wang has influenced her. A feeling of envy rose in my heart, some sour and some bitter.
Changde's mansion is getting worse day by day, so she wants her to enter Rui Wangfu. Even if she can't be a concubine now, she can at least be an imperial concubine when Ruiwang ascends the throne. If she gives birth to a son, there may be a bigger Good luck is behind.
Obviously she had already accepted this way, but she still felt uncomfortable seeing the eldest sister and Duan Wangxiang walking together.
Which woman in the world doesn't want to get married with a phoenix crown and a robe, why wear that waist skirt to become another man's concubine, and the man himself can't call him husband.
The guards on both sides quickly pushed aside the surrounding crowd, leaving enough space for the master to walk. Qu Qingju and He Heng walked in front, quite a bit like a big man going out, squatting and other people avoiding.
There were people selling snacks on both sides of the road, such as Lantern Festival, Ma Wan, Ma Tang, etc., which attracted many people to buy them. She even saw a chubby child holding a bowl of warm sesame paste and eating it with relish.
Such a vivid scene made her smile. She pointed to a stall selling glutinous rice cakes, and said to He Heng, "My lord, the glutinous rice cakes are covered with crushed sesame and peanuts. It looks very interesting."
He Heng glanced at the inconspicuous stall. The sellers were an ordinary couple. The two were over sixty years old, but they looked very energetic.
"The things outside are not very clean, you can't eat more," he said, motioning for Qian Changxin to buy them.
Qian Changxin hurriedly walked to the stall, gave a handful of copper to the stall owner, and even bought a bowl and spoon, he carefully carried the glutinous rice cake to He Heng, "My lord, the servant asked them to add more crushed peanuts. "
He Heng nodded, took the bowl and tasted it first. Although the taste was normal, it really had to be a little more interesting. He handed the bowl to Qu Qingju, "Well, don't blame me for a stomach upset at night."
"You're not so squeamish," Qu Qing Ju didn't go to pick up the bowl, instead she stretched out her left hand to scoop up a spoon to eat the cake, and her right hand slightly lifted the veil at the front of the gauze hat, as if taking He Heng as someone who served her.
Seeing that the two masters were walking slower and slower, Qian Changxin lowered his head silently, but he did not see that the prince was enjoying it.
After eating a few pieces of glutinous rice cake, Qu Qingju put down the spoon, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corner of her mouth: "The taste is not bad, I just saw someone selling tofu brains, but unfortunately eating on the road is really indecent."
"Let the cook in the house do it for you," He Heng threw the bowl to Qian Changxin, wiped his hands and said, "Although these little things are just an early taste, they should be made more elaborate."
Qu Qing Ju nodded obediently, "Your Highness, you are right, I will listen to you.
He Yuan, who was behind the two of them, was silent all the way. When he saw He Heng serving a bowl to the Qu family, he was a little surprised. How could these princes and grandsons ever serve others. This Qu family has the ability to make the second brother so happy even in serving people.
No wonder the mother-in-law would say that she is charming, and that she can hook the second child into three ways, which shows that the means are extraordinary.
People say to marry a wife and a virtuous one, and the second child married such a direct wife, I'm afraid I can't worry too much. Thinking of this, he raised his head and glanced at the backs of the two of them. It would be good for such a woman to be a concubine.
After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, they walked to the side of the painting boat. There was only one painting boat in He Yuan, and there were even guards watching over it. The other painting boats were parked far away.
He Yuan ignored all the guards who saluted him, and led He Heng and his wife to the boat.
Qu Qingju found that even the handrails of the stairs were engraved with landscape paintings. The stairs under her feet were made of high-quality mahogany, and they were as smooth as stepping on flat ground.
He Heng walked in front, carefully pulling Qu Qingju's hand up, and when he got upstairs, he let go of her hand.
The window in the painting boat was open, and a set of tables and chairs was placed near the window. He Yuan led the two of them to sit down, and he sat on the side, before he said to Qu Yuesu, who was still standing, "Miss Qu San, please take a seat too. "He knew what the Marquis of Changde was thinking, and he didn't have much interest in this third young lady, but if he took Princess Duan's sister as his concubine, how would the second child's face look
Isn't his good second brother deeply affectionate to the princess, and he will not take anger on her for this.
Qu Qingju was sitting by the window, watching the river was almost reddened by the Lantern Festival lights on both sides of the river, so she rested her chin with her hands to enjoy the view. From time to time, lotus lamps floated over. Alternative beauty.
"The cold night guests come to tea as wine, and the bamboo stove soup is boiling red." He Yuan held up the tea cup, "Second brother and second sister-in-law, why don't you taste the tea on this ship?"
When Qu Qingju heard this, she felt that King Rui, the husband and wife, both had a hobby of making people taste tea. People like her who didn't have much research on the tea ceremony would be the most impatient to hear such questions. Lifting the veil, revealing her fair chin, Qu Qing Ju smiled and took a sip, then put down the veil, and put the cup back on the table gracefully.
"Quiet and elegant, with fragrant lips and teeth," He Heng put down the teacup and said with a smile, "The third brother has a good life, the second brother I can't find such a good thing."
"I don't need to go to court recently, so I naturally put a lot of thought into these things," He Yuan said with a half-smile, "Second brother is busy with business, so why don't you think about these mundane things."
When the other party mentioned the court, He Heng tilted his head and glanced out the window, then looked back at He Yuandao, "The third brother is joking, the royal father is only angry for a while, after the fourth brother finds out the truth, the third brother is afraid Busy with court affairs."
"I hope that the fourth brother can return to Beijing sooner, to wash away the grievances of my brother," He Yuan sighed helplessly, and turned to Qu Yuesu, who was silent next to him, "I heard that the third lady is very good at piano, I don't know if Xiao Wang has it. An honor?"
Qu Yuesu's face froze under the veil, he paused slightly, put down the teacup in his hand, and said with a smile: "I'm a humble song, I hope you don't make jokes." After speaking, he got up and went to sit in front of the piano. Down, a tinkling sound is heard when the strings are plucked.
The smile on He Heng's face did not change, and he despised the people in Changde's mansion even more. Now Qing Ju is Princess Duan, and Qu Yuesu, as her sister, is actually willing to compose music for King Rui, a man of the mansion. The daughter-in-law of Shang was actually rushing to be a concubine. I really don't know if it was Qing Ju's face or the facade of Changde's palace.
Qu Yuesu's piano skills are really good. Qu Qingju listened carefully and had a deeper understanding of He Yuan's arrogance. He was able to ask Qu Yuesu to play the piano for him in front of his second sister-in-law. He didn't take He Heng and his second sister-in-law into his eyes.
Arrogant people tend to die early, Qu Qing Ju sneered, and it was a dream to still want to be an emperor just by this means. And this Changde Gongfu is really shameless. Fortunately, everyone in the capital knows that this Princess Duan is not close to Changde Gongfu, otherwise they can afford to lose people, and she can't afford to lose them.
Qu Yuesu played "Xiaoxiang Shuiyun", which is a very famous piece. Some people think that it is a piece that nostalgizes the past and hurts the present, but some people think that it is just a piece that depicts landscapes. The requirements for piano skills are very strict.
Qing Ju is not an expert in guqin music, but as a dancer, she is somewhat sensitive to the music. At least she can hear that when Qu Yuesu plays this music, her mood is not as good as she imagined.
"Miss San's piano skills are really extraordinary," He Yuan continued to drink tea after listening to it for a while, and suddenly said, "Second sister-in-law's piano skills must be extraordinary."
These words were overstepped, Qu Qingju laughed instead of anger, she put down the teacup a little more than before, she said coldly: "Third uncle is really very leisurely, otherwise why would he care about such trivial matters."
These words were extremely rude, and they didn't even give He Yuan half the face. He Heng, who was sitting next to her, didn't say a word. Obviously, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Qu Qingju's words.
There was a hint of stunned emotion on He Yuan's face. In fact, when the words were out of his mouth, he already realized that something was wrong, but he was used to being arrogant, and he didn't expect this second sister-in-law to be so rude.
With a sigh of relief in his heart, he glanced at He Heng and saw that the other party was not looking very well, so he had to raise his teacup, "It was my brother who overstepped, second sister-in-law, please forgive me."
Qu Qing Ju lazily held the tea cup, "Third Uncle, you're welcome." However, she didn't drink the tea.
A smile appeared on He Heng's face, and he raised the teacup and said to He Yuan, "Third brother, this tea is not wine, but don't drink it if it is not intoxicating." He Heng's woman should have such a temperament. If this kind of thing has to be endured, why should he be a husband
He Yuan forced a smile and took a sip, but felt that the tea in his mouth was unbearable, and he couldn't hold back his anger.
