Wei Ran Shuang sat on the blue cloth carriage, holding a package in a trance, and the shaking of the carriage did not make her much awake.
After waiting for the carriage to travel for a while, it suddenly stopped. She was stunned for a while before asking, "What happened?"
"Girl, the frame of Duanwang's mansion is coming, we have to get out of the way." The person outside replied.
Duan Wangfu? Wei Ranshuang's complexion changed, she lifted the curtain on the car window, and saw the front guard clearing the way, guarding a carriage of Four Horses and Eight Treasures. Behind the incense cart were several delicate carriages, probably the maids next to Princess Duan.
Wei Ran Shuang bit her lower lip, feeling a little uncomfortable, even the carriage that the maid next to Princess Duan sat in was better than her own. Putting down the curtain, she listened to the pedestrians outside talking about Duanwangfu's frame in a surprised tone, and her eyes gradually became firmer.
After Princess Duan's carriage passed, the blue cloth carriage that Wei Ranshuang was sitting on staggered forward again, and after getting off the carriage, Wei Ranshuang looked at the shabby gate of her house, and there was no sedan chair, so she directly supported her. She walked in with the little maid's hand, her home was such a big place, and there were no high-ranking officials at home, so she couldn't be so particular about it.
When Wei Qin saw her daughter came back, and there were many people holding things, he smiled and said: "Looking to be a little fatter, the noble concubine really supports people there."
Wei RanShuang smiled reluctantly, and asked her mother to put away the things that Imperial Concubine Jing had rewarded, and then said, "Aunt said you should miss me, so she asked me to come back."
Hearing this, Wei Qin's complexion changed slightly, and after signaling the others in the room to step back, he was a little worried: "But the imperial concubine doesn't like you?"
Wei Ranshuang shook her head, and said with a grievance: "The concubine said that Duan Wangfei is very good."
"What do you mean by this, is it possible that she still dislikes you to be her son's side room?" Wei Qin said angrily, "She is a girl from our Wei family, and when she became a noble concubine, she forgot her family. "In any case, her father-in-law and Concubine Jing's father are also brothers of the same mother, and now their lineage is seeing their downfall, and Concubine Jing has no help, not to mention her own girl, which is really annoying.
But thinking that her husband, a small five-ranked state, was transferred back to the capital, and that her husband and her children would have to rely on the concubine Jing in the future, she had to suppress her dissatisfaction and sighed: "The maiden can reward so many things, at least It shows that she still misses you, as for His Royal Highness Duan... I'll think of a way for you."
Wei RanShuang's cheeks flushed, and she lowered her voice: "His Royal Highness Duan Wang is a very good person."
Wei Qin looked at her daughter's shy expression, and made up her mind to see the Princess Duan first. Although her parents' father and brother were not very capable, they were still in the Qin family, and there were always people who could talk.
If the daughter goes to Duan Wang's mansion, it is also a good way. At least there is the concubine Jinggui. Duan Wangfei will not treat her daughter harshly. Duan Wang and her daughter are cousins, so why not take care of them more because of this relationship. It is better to enter the palace than to marry a petty official who will never make his mark.
The long princess' mansion was very lively at this time, and the clothes and temples were fluttering with fairy music. When Qu Qingju walked to the backyard, if it wasn't for these people wearing classic clothes, she almost thought it was a modern party.
As soon as she came in, a well-dressed mama carefully led her to a pavilion. She saw a beautiful woman in splendid clothes sitting next to Wei Qing'e, and she thought that this person might be Princess Jin'an. Fushen: "I want to come here to be my elder sister, hello elder sister."
Princess Jin'an stood up to hold her hand, and Fushen returned a salute: "Second brother and sister, don't be so rude. I called the big guy here for the sake of fun, not to be so polite." After speaking, he pulled her Sit down beside him and let the next person serve tea.
Qu Qing Ju immediately smiled and said, "That's good, I usually don't tolerate these rules." After speaking, she looked around, "Why don't you see your nephew and niece?"
"I told the two of them to play with the little guests from other homes," Princess Jin'an waved her hand. "The adults and children can't play together. Isn't it a blessing that they don't come to quarrel with us?"
Qu Qing Ju smiled, but did not answer this sentence, even though a child of a few years old was really noisy. But as an aunt, she can listen but can't answer such words.
"How can this child not be noisy," Wei Qing'e continued with a smile, she herself has a son, and when she talks about children, she is always a little more enthusiastic, "The child loves to run and make trouble, and the body is stronger. ."
Princess Jin An nodded: "No, it's not easy for this woman to have children." After speaking, she smiled and looked at Qu Qing Ju, "My younger brother and sister don't have any children yet, but they can relax for a while."
Qu Qing Ju took a sip of tea with a smile, "It would be nice to have a child." She noticed Princess Jin'an's vague kindness. If she was an ordinary person, she would definitely ask her when she would have a child. Princess An, however, spoke her words in a joking way.
"Looking at the liveliness of other people's homes, it's not easy to bring up children," Princess Jin'an did not intend to continue talking about children, but instead said, "When my second brother and younger sister got married, I was not in the capital, so I didn't have the chance to meet you. When I saw him today, I was glad for my younger brother, it is a great blessing for such a good person to be married to him."
Trying to make herself appear shy, Qu Qing Ju lowered her head.
Princess Jin An saw Qu Qing Ju's blushing cheeks, she knew she was shy, she smiled and said, "I forgot that you are a bride, I'm shy now." When she first glanced at the other party, she felt really amazing. , but the shy look of the little daughter made her agree with the empress's words, this Princess Duan is very suitable for the second brother.
Wei Qing'e saw that Princess Jin'an had closeness to Qu Qing Ju, so she glanced at Qu Qing Ju unexpectedly. Today, her second younger brother and sister is still very well-dressed, and her nine-pointed face has also become very beautiful. , She knew in her heart that men love such beautiful women, but she knew better that it was impossible for a woman to keep a man with just one face.
"Princess, Princess Rui is here."
When Princess Jinan heard the report from the people below, the smile on her face faded a bit, but if she didn't look closely, she wouldn't be noticed, "Please come soon." She didn't have much contact with King Rui, but Rui Wang's arrogant behavior had already spread to her ears. As a married princess, she never said much about these things, but she didn't like Rui Wang's family so much. People with such a temperament will not have a good life even if they become their brothers and sisters.
Qin Bailu's spirit was not good, but the smile on her face was not much. She walked into the pavilion, and after greeting Princess Jin An, she sat down beside Qu Qingju.
Sitting close, Qu Qing Ju noticed that her cheeks seemed to be a little swollen, and Qin Bailu's makeup today was also a little thick, and she seemed to have matured a lot.
Wei Qing'e held the teacup and blew the tea leaves on the water. She took a slow sip and said to Qin Bailu with a smile, "The third younger brother and sister came a little late today."
"I encountered something when I went out today, which made the eldest sister and the two sisters-in-law laugh." Qin Bailu squeezed out a two-point smile, holding the teacup with some force, "It's my sister-in-law, isn't it?"
"Your sister-in-law is joking with you, it's too late," Princess Jin'an also saw what was wrong on her cheek, and her tone softened, "Since you guys are all here, just chat with others with me, and so on. I don't know the female relatives in the capital very well."
Since the eldest sister-in-law opened this mouth, the three sisters-in-law naturally got up to accompany Jinan to go out to chat with the female relatives. The three sat with Princess Jinan in the upper seat, and found that there were many young girls sitting in the garden. Knowing what Princess Jin'an's intention was, they all smiled and said nothing.
Qu Qing Ju found that Liang's family was also in the garden with Qu Yuesu and Qu Huixue, so she turned her head to look at Qin Bailu, and she saw that her face was ugly.
Seeing this scene, she couldn't help sighing. Mrs. Liang was too eager for quick success. Today, knowing that Princess Rui will come, why bother to join in the fun? Is it possible that Princess Jin'an can still value Qu Yuesu because of this
"There are a lot of charming guests today. This palace has always been a lively person. Why don't you enjoy a few paintings and write a few poems to open your eyes," Princess Jin'an said in a negotiating tone, but her voice fell as soon as she finished speaking. , someone took the painting and the pen and ink up.
Many people are willing to show their faces in front of the princess and the princess, so these young girls began to study the painting in order to make a good poem.
Qu Qing Ju looked at these young girls who were eager to try, and instantly felt that Princess Jin An was looking for fun, and that these young girls had little interest in her, so it was good to be lively.
These people were admiring the paintings, so Qu Qing Ju and the others naturally wouldn't join in the fun, so they drank tea and chatted.
"I heard that the Shangyuan lanterns by the river the night before yesterday were very beautiful, but unfortunately I couldn't get out of my body, otherwise I would definitely go and see," Princess Ning Wei Qing'e said regretfully, "Although the lanterns in the mansion are beautiful, they still lack a bit of fun. ."
Qu Qing Ju saw Qin Bailu's face even more ugly.
"Can the second brother and sister go to see it?" Wei Qing'e brought the words to Qu Qingju's head.
Now who doesn't know that Duan Wang took Duan Wang Fei to enjoy the lanterns, and he also went to Rui Wang's painting boat to enjoy the fireworks? Qu Qing Ju raised her eyebrows, Wei Qing'e asked this, just to stir up trouble between her and Qin Bailu. After all, Qu Yuesu, like her, has the surname Qu.
At this time, in Duan Wang's mansion, He Heng heard unsurprising news.
"The third child wants the three daughters of Duke Changde to be the concubine?" He Heng looked at Wang Changming calmly, "Is this matter?"
"Prince Rui's Mansion has already sent the Nashu Nali to the Mansion of Changde. It must have been close to ten." Wang Chang said, "I just don't know if the Mansion of Changde will respond."
"Of course they will agree," He Heng said while playing with a root carving, with a half-smiling smile, "The third child is also happy to show my face, and he doesn't even think about the relationship between the third Miss Qu family and the princess."
Wang Changming didn't dare to mention the princess, so he could only say: "There is also news from Dai Duo that Prince Rui is very angry about the assassination of the imperial envoy, and he suspects that Prince Ning deliberately framed it."
He Heng lowered his eyelids, put the root carving down, and flicked the bottom of the root carving: "Let him be angry."
I saw that the bottom of the root carving was a hollowed-out pavilion, which looked beautiful, but was actually not solid.

Most women prefer graceful poems. Qu Qingju took over the poems that Wei Qing'e handed over, glanced at random, and saw some words like Qingfeng, Light Smoke, etc. She casually flipped through the poems and handed them to Qin Bailu next to them. "I think these girls are very talented. It's just that I'm not good at poetry, so I might as well show the three younger siblings."
Qin Bailu took over these relatively outstanding poems selected by Princess Jin'an, and the ones at the beginning were the poems of the three girls in the palace of Changde. A sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she turned it down again, and said to Qu Qingju. : "Second sister-in-law comes from an aristocratic family, and even the three girls in your house are so talented, why do you want to belittle yourself?"
This is a bit mean. Even if King Rui is favored by the emperor, he is still a younger brother. You, a younger brother and sister, speak to your sister-in-law in such a tone. Such an upbringing woman
Princess Jin An raised her eyebrows, looked up at Qin Bailu, and then lowered her head to drink tea.
"Your mansion?" Qu Qingju smiled and took out the handkerchief and wiped the corner of her mouth, and said in a gentle tone, "Third siblings, it's not that my sister-in-law likes to preach, but your words are too unruly. When we women get married, they are married to their husbands. My mansion is the mansion of the prince, doesn't the third siblings say that they don't treat me as a royal person?"
Even the empress can't say this, let alone Qin Bailu's sister-in-law
After Qin Bailu heard this, he hated Qu Qingju for not giving her face, but he could only smile apologetically: "Second sister-in-law forgive me, I was about to say something wrong for a while, I also ask sister-in-law to forgive me. "After that, I got up.
Qu Qingju didn't get up to return the salute, but just nodded and said, "You don't need to be too polite, my sister-in-law doesn't have so many rules, but I have to say something today, now I am Princess Duan, and my mother is the Qutian family. Don't get confused."
The smile on Qin Bailu's face almost solidified. She did not expect that Qu Qingju would put away Duke Changde so bluntly. She remembered the rumors in the capital about the relationship between Duke Changde and Princess Duan. Unruly, he married a bride within a hundred days of his wife's death; why Tian Liang was so unkind as a mother, treating the daughter of the former wife of Duke Changde harshly, and even ignoring the concubine, and only being good to his own children and maiden's family .
No wonder there were rumors about the scandal about Changde's mansion in the capital recently. It turned out that she was waiting here. Qu Qingju wanted to clearly express her attitude towards Changde's mansion.
A lot of people came today, Qin Bailu lost his face in front of so many people, but he couldn't have a seizure, so he could only sit back with anger, and handed the poem back to Princess Jin An: "I don't know if the princess thinks that song is better. ?"
Qu Qing Ju looked at the way she was holding back her anger, and thought a little unhappily, Rui Wang and his wife were really a natural couple, and they were so unpleasant when they spoke, she felt that they were sorry for each other if they didn't choke on them. That crazy attitude.
"Bengong thinks that Qu and Lu are both good girls," Princess Jin An raised her head, "I don't know which two girls they are, come forward and let Bengong take a look."
Qu Qing Ju looked at the girl who stepped forward to give a blessing and salute. Qu Yuesu had a soft and beautiful appearance, while the girl from the Lu family was slender and graceful, and she was indeed an eye-catching figure. If she guessed correctly, this girl from the Lu family should be Yurong, the daughter of the senior scholar Lu Jinghong.
"Ben Gong sees that the two of you's poems are equally divided. It is said that there is no first place in the text. It is better for the two of you to win the title." Princess Jin An heard about Qu Yuesu and King Rui, so she gave Qu Yuesu one more look. , This woman does have the appearance of spring flowers, her eyebrows and eyes can almost be painted.
At this time, she couldn't help but glance at Princess Duan who was smiling and drinking tea. Although the two were of the same father and sister, their appearance and temperament were different. On the contrary, although Princess Duan's appearance is not unparalleled in the world, she is indescribably good-looking, and her words and deeds are full of beauty.
This is probably her personal charm. Princess Jinan asked someone to present a set of fine calligraphy and head to Qu and Lu. After complimenting a few more words, she smiled and let the two sit down. Not a word was mentioned about the relationship between Qu Yuesu and Qu Qing Ju.
Soon, some servants presented new cakes and fruits. Everyone saw that these were all good things. It was obvious that the emperor was very fond of Princess Jin An. No wonder the princesses were so kind to Princess Jin An. An aloof person like Princess Rui is also polite.
Wei Qing'e, who didn't talk much from beginning to end, felt that Qu Qingju and Qin Bailu seemed to be at odds with each other, but Qu Qingju always had the upper hand.
Qu Qing Ju dared to show face to Qin Bai so confidently, she must have relied on Duan Wang's favor for her. Otherwise, how could she dare to speak so recklessly, she thought sarcastically, when Duan Wang did not favor her, she would How should I deal with myself, even the concubine who can't look up and look down is offended, and will have two points of pity for her in the future
If it was her, she would definitely be able to speak more beautifully, so as not to let people down. She sighed and raised her teacup to hide her emotions. Sometimes only the cruelty of reality can make women learn to grow up.
"The painting appreciation is almost there. If you don't dislike it, why don't you listen to the music with Ben Gong?" Princess Jin An supported the maid's hand and stood up. As soon as she said this, everyone said yes, why would they dislike Yunyun.
The stage was set up a long time ago, and after everyone sat down, the play began, to the effect that a ruthless man fell in love with a woman, and finally the woman became an old man and the prodigal son turned back.
Qu Qing Ju felt uncomfortable when she saw this kind of plot. Why would a woman care for the elderly and raise children at home, while a man spends his time outside, and when the woman is old and youth is gone, the man is so bored that he wants to go home to retire, and then Was praised by the prodigal son back for money
Who has seen the blood and tears of a woman's youth? When she is old and can no longer enjoy the beauty of youth, what is the use of a man's prodigal son
From her point of view, these operas are all wretched and useless by scholars to satisfy their own desires. They always hope that their wives are virtuous and taciturn, and they also hope that other people's wives will be dissolute. In fact, they didn't even ask for their wives, the only thing they could do was to eat the last meal without the next meal, crouching in the shabby room with air leaks, imagining that there was a snail girl or a lady who was going to marry him.
Seeing that the master's face was not good, Mujin replaced her with a cup of hot tea and whispered, "Master, are you unwell?"
Qu Qing Ju held the teacup and said lightly, "It's okay, I just don't think such a man has such a virtuous and virtuous woman."
She said these words in a low voice, but Princess Jin An heard her, Princess Jin An nodded and said with a sneer, "No, such a man is worthy of living with children and grandchildren. People retire, this palace doesn't like this kind of play."
Several actors hurriedly retreated, not understanding how they made Her Royal Highness angry.
"I listened to "The Story of Climbing" a few days ago, but it's still interesting, why don't you listen to my sister?" Qu Qing Ju said with a light smile, "In this world, men and women should always pay attention to a good and evil always rewarded, how can Are you taking all the cheap?"
Princess Jin An felt that Princess Duan became more and more pleasing to the eye. After she clicked on "Changshu Ji", she said to Qu Qing Ju, "Brother and sister said this well, and I am the same."
This Princess Jin'an is indeed a bit of a temperament, Qu Qing Ju smiled and held up the teacup, "Your Highness, the Princess."
Qin Bailu watched Qu Qingju talk to Princess Jin'an with cold eyes, then turned to look at Qu Yuesu, who was sitting in the corner, the Qu family's women were all long-sleeved fox spirits who were good at dancing. There is nothing good about what a fox does.
"Changshu Ji" is probably about a landing scholar who fell in love with a young lady, and tried all kinds of ideas to win the lady's favor. After being known by the young lady and childhood sweethearts about what he did, he was rejected by both of them, and he ended up living in poverty all his life.
The one who wants to climb is the young lady, and the one who wants to break is the little green plum who grew up together. In the end, the climb was unsuccessful. This is a satire on the greed of the destitute scholar. This play was not highly regarded, after all, for men, who wants to watch this kind of play? And women who are raised in a boudoir naturally don't know there is such a play.
So as soon as the play was staged, many people watched it with relish. After the play was over, a group of people started to discuss how shameless this storyteller was, and the one who said that Miss and Qingmei did a good job.
"To say that this scholar is really hateful, but this young lady shouldn't have secretly met with the scholar before, and almost ruined the reputation," Qin Bailu said with a half-smile, "In this world, we still pay attention to the words of the parents' life matchmaker, be a good one. It's not a good thing for a girl to mess with an adult man."
This is a hint. There are many people present who have heard about the Shangyuan Festival, so it is not easy to answer for a while. After all, this is a matter of Prince Rui's mansion. Prince Rui has always been arrogant, so it is better not to provoke it. .
After listening to Qin Bailu's words, Liang's complexion changed, but Qu Yuesu's expression remained the same, with a smile on her face from beginning to end, as if Qin Bailu pointed out that Sang scolded Huai against herself.
Wei Qing'e and Qu Qing Ju both smiled and said nothing, as if they didn't hear Qin Bailu's words.
"Fortunately, this young lady didn't make a big mistake. It's a good thing to be able to get lost instead of going her own way." Princess Jin'an's words broke the deadlock, and a sharp smile appeared on her face, "Such a man can't be tolerated. You can't get used to it, or you'll forget who you are."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's heart was full of mixed feelings, which man in the world does not steal, and which man does not like to be pretty
Qu Qing Ju looked at Princess Jin An, and seemed to see some kind of firmness on her face.
☆、45
After watching the two scenes, it was already past noon. After Princess Jin An invited everyone to have a meal, she let the girls who were not out of the cabinet chat together at will. She chatted with some married wives about anecdotes in the capital.
Qu Qingju heard these people mention the real Xuanling of Wuzhuangguan again. It seems that this real Xuanling really has some skills. No matter whether there are ghosts or gods in this world, but one person can make so many people get involved in complicated circles. The respect of the noble ladies is enough to show that he has extraordinary ability. As for which aspect, the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees the wisdom.
When Princess Jin An heard this, she was unexpectedly calm. She smiled indifferently: "Since she is a strange person, I will have a chance to see you in the future." Having said that, Qu Qing Ju could see that she didn't like it at all. care about such things.
Qu Qingju helped Mujin's hand to get up to change clothes, but on the way back, she met Qu Yuesu with a maid, she stopped, and looked at Qu Yuesu calmly, and gave her a very polite gift of blessing.
"I've seen Princess Duan," Qu Yuesu is now very clear, the eldest sister in front of her doesn't want to have anything to do with Changde's mansion, she can even see the indifference to Changde's mansion in her eldest sister, she heard the rumors from the outside world Quite a few, she wanted to refute but found that these rumors were completely true, and some things that happened in the past were more unbearable than the rumors, so she didn't even have the face to call her big sister.
The reputation of the mansion is getting worse and worse, which has affected her marriage with the second sister. She is not willing to be an ordinary official wife, but now the direct son of the big family is unwilling to marry her. Therefore, she would rather rely on her talent to fight, at least it is better than mediocre living a life.
"Third miss, please get up," Mu Jin saw that her princess was not moving, she stepped forward and gave a hand with a smile, before retreating behind Qu Qing Ju again.
Qu Qing Ju glanced at the sky: "Why did you come here alone? I just saw the Yao family girls and the Lu family girls chatting together. Why don't you go and play with them?"
Qu Yue looked a little embarrassed, and forced a smile: "I just want to walk around."
Nodding her head, Qu Qing Ju said no more, "I'll go first, be careful yourself."
"Congratulations to see the princess." Qu Yuesu was blessed again, she watched Qu Qingju being led by several maids to the direction of Princess Jin'an, biting the corner of her lips to suppress the sourness in her heart, now Those young ladies from aristocratic families are also unwilling to walk with her. They think they are noble and do not want to associate with someone who is willing to be a concubine. In fact, they are just ordinary people. In the future, when they get married, they will also have to work hard to win over the husband's heart, and even more. Take care of the favored side room, and by then they'll be nothing more than cheesy fish-eyes.
This kind of thinking may just be Qu Yuesu's self-comfort, but now she can only think like this to suppress her inexplicable jealousy of Qu Qing Ju and her undeserved delusions. She, it should be her who is being held and respected now.
When Wei Qing'e and the others saw Qu Qingju coming back, they smiled and said, "You're finally back, and I talked about you just now."
"What about me?" Qu Qing Ju smiled and sat down on the spot, took a peeled orange and put it in her mouth.
"Say you're lucky, the side rooms in the mansion are honest and don't have so many hearts." Wei Qing'e smiled, "It's not like our mansion has many beauties."
Qu Qing Ju coughed dryly, swallowed the orange, wiped the corners of her mouth, and said, "Sister-in-law is just joking." Recently, Duan Wang's mansion has demoted his concubine as a concubine, and another passer-by passed away. With the people from Zhuangzi, this can be called honest, is this Wei Qing'e deliberately saying that to embarrass her
"I'm not as virtuous as my sister-in-law. I take care of the house well, and my sister-in-law should stop laughing at me." Qu Qing Ju knew that the only people who dared to talk about Duan Wang's mansion were Princess Jin An, Wei and Qin. She smiled at Jin Princess An said, "Sister, I don't know. Sister-in-law has always been a virtuous person, but she always praises me for being so incompetent. Sister, you have to judge me."
"Alright, alright, the younger brothers of this palace took you to be their princesses, that's their blessing," Princess Jin'an smiled and put a plate of red jujube cake in the middle, "you just eat two more cakes, don't let each other go. boasted."
Wei Qing'e smiled and lifted the topic. She knew that Duan Wang's mansion was now under the control of Qu Qing Ju, and the backyard was surrounded by iron buckets. The other day, the prince died because of an illness in a certain room. Is the king's people.
The people who accompany them are all high-ranking officials and wives, but it's a pity that Qu Qingju's aunt Tian Luoshi is not here, otherwise Qu Qingju wouldn't feel a little bored.
Princess Jin'an held a painting banquet today, just to let these ladies know that her Princess Jin'an is mainly in the capital, and at the same time, she asked them to go back and tell her husband that she was going to clean up her concubine Bei Lubo. These people have more eyes. Don't be too busy.
This move has the taste of overwhelming others, but who made her the eldest princess proclaimed by the emperor, and there are no other princesses in the Dalong Dynasty, but only she was named the eldest princess, which is enough to prove her status.
Qu Qingju felt that Princess Jin'an was a smart woman who saw reality clearly. She had a noble identity and would not compromise for the so-called feelings. She gave birth to children of Bei Lubo, and it stands to reason that Bei Lubo could not take a concubine. But Bei Lubo did such a thing, not only hitting Princess Jin'an's face, but also hitting the royal family's face. If this kind of thing happened to Princess Jin An today, then the concubines of other princesses will follow suit in the future.
After the banquet was over, after coming out of the Princess Mansion, Qu Qing Ju saw Liang Shi and Qu Yuesu at the gate, and opposite them was Qin Bailu, who was condescending. She is willing to act in a bloody drama, but she is not willing to be splashed with blood.
When the carriage started to move, Qu Qingju opened the car window, just in time to see Qin Bailu showing a sarcastic smile at Liang Shi and Qu Yuesu, Liang Shi was full of anger that she did not dare to burst out, and she bent the corner of her mouth. , lowered the curtain.
Back at Duanwang's mansion, Qu Qingju saw Hollyhock and Ruixiang guarding the gate of the main courtyard. Knowing that He Heng might be inside, he asked, "Is the prince in the house?"
Hollyhock bowed her knees and replied, "Back to the princess, the prince has been here for a while."
Nodding her head to indicate she understood, Qu Qing Ju passed through the gate, traversed the garden in the main courtyard, and reached the outer room of the room, where she saw He Heng looking at the picture of a beautiful woman dancing under the moon that she had asked to hang on the wall.
"Your Highness," Qu Qing Ju walked up to him with a smile and stood beside him, "What's wrong with this painting?"
"I remember, you also have a long dress like this," He Heng always felt that the painting had some shadow of Qu Qing Ju.
"Why didn't Wangye think that the person in this painting is me." Qu Qing Ju smiled.
He Heng looked at the inscription under the scroll. It was actually a painting by Qu Qingju. The painting was done just a few days ago. No wonder I hadn't seen it yesterday.
"Qing Ju can dance?" He Heng was a little surprised. There were quite a few women from aristocratic families who learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but not many of them.
"It's just self-taught without a teacher," Qu Qing Ju raised her eyebrows, seeming to be a little complacent and helpless, "I didn't have anything in the past, I just wanted to pass the time when I was in the room, and learned randomly from books."
He Heng knew that Qu Liang's family treated Qu Qing Ju well, and he didn't think he would bother to let Qu Qing Ju learn too many things that every lady should know. When am I lucky enough to be rewarded?"
Qu Qing Ju raised her smooth and beautiful chin, like a proud queen, "When the prince does something to please the concubine, the concubine will think about it again."
He Heng clearly claimed to be a concubine, but He Heng could hear a hint of arrogance, but he also felt that the other person's appearance made him feel unbearable, he couldn't help reaching out and touched Qu Qingju's waist, "Qingju's waist is now Slim and soft, it will definitely be able to dance a very beautiful dance."
The corner of Qu Qing Ju's mouth twitched: "My lord, is this a concubine making fun of a dancer?"
He Heng could not understand why women were making trouble out of nowhere, but for some reason he felt that it would be impossible not to explain a few words. He had no choice but to take the person into his arms, "How can those women be compared with you, Qing Ju, the dance you dance is only for me. Look, no one can see anyone else, this is a matter between our husband and wife, I am happy, not a joke." After speaking, he added, "If you want me to please you in the future, you must condescend to dance a song. Show me."
Qu Qing Ju hummed, "Since you are looking forward to it so much, when the spring flowers bloom, I will dance a song for you to see." This body is indeed very soft, and it won't look stiff or beautiful when dancing, but she But I didn't want to just show it to He Heng. Men are strange creatures. They like to play with random women, but they look down on women for being too casual. From a certain point of view, men are sometimes more contradictory than women.
But if she turned this matter into an interest between the two, and even made the other party look forward to it, but not easily let the other party see it at will, it would only give He Heng a sense of intimacy that "belongs to the secret of the two".
Sometimes a good secret can help to narrow the distance between men and women.
He Heng looked at Qu Qingju's proud appearance, but felt that the cat in his heart was getting more and more itchy. He sniffed the fragrance in her hair, and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay." But he seemed to be able to feel the delicateness under his clothes, which made him want to put someone on the bed.
Qu Qing Ju didn't want to play games of pressure before dinner, so she put her head on He Heng's chest and said, "I saw that Princess Jin An seemed to want to make peace with Bei Lubo."
After a moment of silence, she heard He Heng's disdainful and somewhat angry voice.
"He Li is inevitable, the royal princess is something he can wait for? It won't be so cheap for him!"
Qu Qing Ju smiled incredulously, look, this is a member of the royal family, no matter if he is arrogant, gentle or simple and honest, he has a natural aloofness in his bones.
☆、46 Kuiyuan Palace
Bei Lubo arrived in the capital on the 26th of the first month of the first month. The first place he went was the Princess Chang's mansion, but before he entered the door, he was driven out by the servants of the Princess Chang's mansion. He didn't expect the servants to be so embarrassed. He was about to have a seizure when Princess Jin An stood at the gate with the hand of the maid.
Because Bei Lubo was thinking about the outer room every day, the husband and wife seldom got together in recent months. Bei Lubo stood under the gate and looked at the princess in costume, his anger like fire was quenched by cold water. Na Na said: "Princess."
"What is the concubine doing?" Princess Jin'an glanced behind him with a half-smiling smile, "Why don't you see someone so sweet?"
Bei Lubo was embarrassed. The gate was covered with servants and guards of the Princess Mansion. He didn't want to put down his face in front of these people, but he had to put down his face, otherwise their entire Cao family would be implicated, let alone Said to protect the outer room he loved.
"The princess misunderstood, it's just a plaything, how can it be because she affects the relationship between our husband and wife," Bei Lubo forced a smile and gave a deep bow, "I also ask the princess to forgive my husband, and I will not do it for my husband in the future. Such a stupid thing."
Princess Jin An looked at the man in front of her scornfully. He was still handsome and gentle. He was still the same person he used to be, but his heart has changed. For a man who has changed his heart, she is just guarding a stinky skin. Don't feel bad about yourself.
For some reason, she wanted to laugh, and she also laughed out loud: "The joke of the concubine is really interesting, why didn't Ben Gong know that the concubine would lose her mind because of a plaything, and you know it in your own heart if you are confused or not. It’s not uncommon for this palace to listen to you, since it was the imperial edict calling you to the capital, you should go to the palace and explain to the emperor.”
Bei Lubo panicked, he heard the dislike of him in the words of the princess, but if the princess did not turn the matter around, the emperor would punish him severely, and the Cao clan would be finished. Originally, their Cao clan was already a family with no real power and no title, and this matter became a big one, and I was afraid that even the title could not be kept.
Thinking of this, Bei Lubo had to continue to say: "Princess, you and I have been married for many years, how can you
