As a concubine, what kind of idea are you making when you are so concerned about the affairs of the previous dynasty? "
Wen Guibi looked at him angrily, but couldn't say a word. She shook her shoulders slightly and lowered her head slowly.
Qu Qing Ju looked at He Yuan's appearance and remembered the Jiangnan case. Was this case on hold like this? Is there nothing wrong with the old emperor's mind
As an emperor, because he is partial to his son, he disregards the life and death of the people, loan sharks, salt administration, buying and selling officials, which is not a big deal. They don't care about such things, they can do whatever they want
Thinking of this, she felt an inexplicable feeling of disgust in her heart. When such a person becomes an emperor, it really hurts the people of the world. If the previous emperor gave birth to one more son, I am afraid that the throne would not fall on such a person.
At this time, a eunuch came out in a hurry, saying that the emperor had summoned King Rui to visit him.
Qu Qing Ju watched the little eunuch nodded and bowed to welcome He Yuan in. She looked away and followed He Heng down the white marble steps. She didn't look at He Heng until after she sat on the carriage back to Duanwangfu and walked for a while. "My lord, it's not easy for the common people in this world." After she finished speaking, she reached out and raised the curtain. The common people in linen clothes on the side of the road were retreating from their carriages, with a look of awe and caution on their faces.
She is not a real lady of aristocratic family. Although she likes Chinese clothing and food, she doesn't feel that bullying others and sacrificing a lot of people to satisfy her own small desires is a matter of course.
He Heng did not expect that Qu Qing Ju would say such a sentence to him. He quietly looked at this woman. At this moment, her face was not charming, there was no smile, and he didn't even look at him, but he had never seen it before. I think she is so worthy of respect.
He followed her hand and looked at the crowd on the street, his eyes gradually calmed down, and after a while he lowered his eyelids and said, "It's because they are not easy, that the higher-ups need to be more diligent and strict."
Qu Qing Ju put down the curtain, tilted her head to look at He Heng, and suddenly laughed, as if she had decided something, she nodded, "Your Highness, I believe in you."
He Heng looked at her silently, reached out to hold her hand, and sighed, "You."
Qu Qing Ju looked down at the hand she was holding, the person in front of her might not be a good man, but he could be a good emperor. Originally, she didn't care who was the emperor, but after today, she wanted this man to become the emperor.
She is not the Virgin, but she is still a person, so she can't accept the actions of Emperor Qingde and He Yuan, and she can't agree that what they do is justified.
So... if He Heng wanted to be the emperor, she wouldn't cheat him.
Cheng Wangfu and Duan Wangfu are separated by a street. When He Ming said goodbye to his second brother and second sister-in-law, he inexplicably felt that the atmosphere between the two was different. Although they were still intimate, there was something more incomprehensible. .
After he returned to Prince Cheng’s mansion, he received a list from the Ministry of Rites. The list was written on the dowry gift from the Ministry of Rites to Luo Shangshu’s mansion, which meant that these were all things from the royal family. If they didn’t want to add anything, they would So ready.
Putting the list aside, He Ming recalled the relationship between the second brother and the second sister-in-law. He called Sun Hai and added a lot of things in. Although he was not favored, he was still the prince, and he was not so desolate that he couldn't take it out. Half the good stuff.
The next day, the officials of the Ministry of Rites received the return list from Prince Cheng’s mansion. After reading it, they couldn’t help but sigh. This Prince Cheng is a generous man, and Luo Shangshu is also blessed.
A few days later, Chun Wei's list came out. Most of the people on the list were disciples of aristocratic families. Some smart people found that the top few people on the list this time were not recommended by King Ning's faction, King Rui. There are not many people in the faction, and most of these people who are at the top of the list are the second sons and concubines who are not very famous in the family.
King Ning has been imprisoned now, and it is normal for people without him, but there are not many people in King Rui, does this make some sense
Soon someone inquired about the quarrel between King Rui and his concubine at the gate of Tianqi Palace a few days ago. Some conservative officials couldn't help sighing in their hearts. This King Rui is too arrogant. Even if the identity of the concubine is not high, it is still King Ning's biological mother, King Rui's behavior is too conspicuous.
The palace exam was held shortly after the ranking was released. At this time, He Heng was still recovering from his injuries in the mansion. The mansion could receive rewards from the emperor, empress, and concubine Jing every three or five minutes. All these things Qu Qing Ju were locked in the warehouse.
She remembered that when she went to the palace to see the emperor, the emperor hinted that He Heng would recover from his injuries and go to court, but looking at He Heng's leisurely appearance, it was obvious that he wanted to delay the imperial examination before going to court.
"My lord, see how I trim my potted plants?" Qu Qing Ju put down the scissors in her hand, and when He Heng walked in, she beckoned him to come over to appreciate her new work.
Glancing at the bonsai, He Heng couldn't find a suitable word to describe it for a while, because bonsai pays attention to an artistic conception, but his princess pruned out an ingot abruptly.
"This shape is quite unique," He Heng smiled and stretched out his hand to touch the middle of the ingot. He didn't dislike seeing the broken leaves and twigs on the table, and sat directly next to the table. Luo Shangshu's office has hired up and down, and Mrs. Luo asked about you."
"Old Mrs. Luo has taken care of me a lot. I think she remembered me when she saw the prince." Qu Qingju smiled, turned around and washed her hands in the basin brought by Jinzhan, and said while wiping, "I am Even the things to add makeup to Miss Luo are ready."
He Heng was not interested in women's affairs, so he just smiled when he heard this. For a man who trusts his own woman, the backyard is left to the woman, and he doesn't have to care too much.
"Fourth younger brother will get married soon," he said with a frown. "This year, there are a lot of selected women in the palace, and I don't know what the royal father's plan is."
Qu Qingju wiped her hands for a while, and then handed the cloth to the maid behind her, her brows moved slightly, "Your Highness, does the manor mean that there will be new people coming in?"
He Heng took a careful look at her face. It seemed normal at first glance, but somehow felt that something was wrong. He hesitated before saying, "I'm not sure about this, but don't worry, I won't look at them."
"Who cares who you like, anyway, there will be more beauties in the future," Qu Qing Ju stood up, gave him a sideways glance, and held her forehead. He turned around with Hibiscus and left.
He Heng touched his nose and smiled helplessly, got up and followed behind her and walked into the room, inexplicably felt that he was being stared at by Qu Qingju's gaze and felt at ease.
☆、66 · Mind
Qu Qing Ju entered the inner room and didn't really sleep, but sat by the window with a book in her hand. Seeing He Heng came in, she ignored him and looked at the book in her hand.
He Heng rubbed behind her step by step and glanced at the book in her hand: "This book of 'Qian San Ji' is not as innovative as 'The Biography of Graceful Na', so it's better to read it instead."
"What is graceful and not graceful? It is said that beautiful women are graceful and graceful, but what does Wang Ye mean?" Qu Qing Ju squinted at him and put the book in her hand aside, "I think that Wang Ye will definitely like "The Biography of Wanhong" and "The Palace of Harmony". Books like this." Both books are about how a man got the favor of several beauties.
"This is a big injustice. With a beautiful wife in my arms, why should I look at this?" He Heng smiled and squatted down in front of her, her peach blossom eyes slightly raised with a different kind of seriousness, "What do I think? "Qing Ju, don't you know?"
Qu Qing Ju looked at the man who was half-squatting in front of her, her face gradually calmed down, she looked away slightly: "Your Highness knows that people's hearts are unpredictable, and no one in the world completely knows another person's mind."
He Heng smiled, stretched out his hand and dragged the round stool beside him to sit, and then put Qu Qing Ju's hand around his palm, "I don't need someone to really understand me completely, but I know you understand me. Mind, knowing what I want and who I am, that's enough."
For the first time, Qu Qing Ju really felt that the man in front of her was so pleasing to the eye, she and his eyes met for a while before she said, "My lord, I'm just a layman, what other people say doesn't matter, what matters is what you do. "
"I understand," He Heng stood up and kissed her on the forehead, "The royal family is born to think more than others, but apart from these, they are no different from ordinary people."
Qu Qing Ju took a deep look at him, and suddenly burst into laughter. She didn't say she believed it or said she didn't believe it. She just got up and went to the bedside to get a purse and hand it to He Heng, pointing to his waist: "I'll go ahead. The purse sewn in the days is old, so let's change it."
He Heng took the purse with a smile. After carefully changing it, he held the old purse in his hand. He stood up and said, "I have to go to the fourth brother's house later, and come back as early as possible in the evening."
Qu Qing Ju nodded, seeing him walking out of the door of the inner room in a hurry, the expression on his face gradually disappeared without a trace. She got up and walked to the window, watching He Heng walk into the yard and put the old purse in her arms as she walked, she frowned, her eyes a little complicated.
"Princess, the lord is so kind to you. When I went out just now, I specifically ordered my servants to serve you well," Yin Liu walked in from the outer room and saw Qu Qingju standing by the window, "Just now the steward of the kitchen handed over to you. Here comes the list, can you order something?"
Qu Qing Ju looked back at her, walked to the bed and sat down, took the menu in Yin Liu's hand, and ordered a few dishes that were pleasing to the eye, "That's all, let them have other desserts. Look up."
"Yes," Yin Liu put away the menu. Seeing that the princess looked a little strange, she said, "Princess, what's wrong with you?"
Qu Qing Ju waved her hand: "It's nothing, it's just a surprising little discovery."
Yin Liu didn't quite understand it, but he couldn't keep asking, so he had to retreat honestly.
Qu Qing Ju sighed. In fact, the truth of the matter is that He Heng's acting skills have returned to their original state.
In Prince Cheng's mansion, He Heng sat opposite He Ming, He Ming raised his glass and said, "Second brother, younger brother toasts you."
He Heng raised his glass, raised his head and drank all the wine in it. After putting down the glass, he said, "I heard that you sent away the two general rooms in the house?"
He Ming smiled when he heard the words: "So you already know about the second brother." Two days ago, he sent away the general room in the mansion, and it was rumored that his princess hadn't entered the door, so he started to be afraid of his daughter-in-law. He didn't expect this to happen. It was passed to the second brother, "I just wanted to live a small life in peace. When I have the princess, I will treat her with sincerity. Besides making the princess feel uncomfortable, what's the use of keeping those concubines?"
"The fourth brother is considerate," he recalled the wedding night when Qu Qingju married him. At that time, he felt that the Qu family was too troublesome, and that Qu Qingju was too timid, so he was not so sympathetic, and the two reluctantly stayed together. After the three days of the newlyweds together, after she returned home, they didn't spend much time together. Although she specifically told her not to be slow, she still didn't have much affection.
In his first impression, Qu Qing Ju either lowered her head or kept her face silent, not saying a word, not wearing a single accessory. At that time, he felt a little bit sympathetic to her being sparred by Changde's palace. It looks like, I feel that the life of the husband and wife is a bit boring.
He didn't know when Qu Qing Ju became alive in his eyes, and he gradually didn't like going to the side room, and when he heard He Ming's words, he couldn't help but nodded: "If the two of you have a good life, Those side concubines and concubines are just icing on the cake, and there is not much difference between them."
"Young brother thought that the second brother would understand," He Ming laughed, "It was because I saw your love for the second sister-in-law that the younger brother made up his mind to take this step."
He Heng was stunned for a moment, shook the wine glass and smiled: "My princess, naturally, you need to love more." After speaking, she raised the wine glass, "Come, have a drink."
The slightly cool wine slid into the stomach, but it turned into a scalding heat.
The night was cold as water, He Heng walked into the main courtyard lightly, waving his hand to avoid the salute of the night watch maid, and went straight into the inner room, where he saw Qu Qingju rolled up the quilt and slept soundly, he thought about it and went out. After washing hands, face, feet and feet outside, he walked in lightly, undressed and lay on the bed.
Qu Qing Ju felt in a daze that someone was lying next to her, twisted her body, and did not open her eyes: "My lord, did you come back just now?"
Seeing her confused look, He Heng didn't say much. He reached out and patted her on the back lightly: "Sleep." Sure enough, the people around him fell asleep again.
Qian Changxin and others withdrew after serving the prince. After he and Minghe left the main courtyard side by side, he whispered, "It's so late that the prince is also thinking about the princess, which shows how much you value the princess."
Minghe knew the meaning of his words, so he said softly: "Now in this mansion, the other side rooms can't get into the eyes of the prince at all, so the two of us just need to serve the prince and princess well."
"Who knows what will happen in the future, let's take a step by step, we are left and right to serve the prince," Qian Changxin put his hands behind his back, "Who the prince wants us to respect, let's respect it, the rest is not something we can manage. "
Minghe smiled: "Brother said yes."
"What a good day today, it's so lively?" Qu Qingju found that the street was very lively, and there were even many people standing in the teahouses and restaurants on both sides of the street. She had just returned from visiting Princess Jin'an. In such a situation, he signaled the bearer to stop.
"Princess, today are the three jinshi who have won the first place, and they are parading horses," Huang Yang replied from outside the sedan chair.
Qu Qingju suddenly understood that this was the champion, the second place, and the horses on the street. Dalong's folk customs were more open, so at this time, many women threw handkerchiefs, sachets, flowers and other objects at the three of them. Although Qu Qingju I can't see people, but I can see things flying in the air.
This road leads to the imperial palace. The three of them must have gone to attend the Qionglin banquet in the palace after their parade through the streets. He Heng will also appear at the Qionglin banquet at this time.
After waiting for a stick of incense, the crowd gradually dispersed. Qu Qingju's sedan chair continued to move forward. She sat in the sedan chair and listened to passers-by talking about how handsome Tanhua Lang was and how elegant the champion was. She couldn't help but smile. Fortunately, this The times have not yet perverted to the point where women are required to stay out of the gate, otherwise the life will be hard enough.
The folk customs of the Dalong Dynasty are quite similar to the Tang and Song Dynasties in history, and even some cultural habits are similar, but the institutions set up by the imperial court are a hodgepodge of various dynasties. Although it is a bit complicated, it will not blind her. It is precisely because of this that Qu Qing Ju has an interest in being able to live on.
People on both sides of the street found a dark yellow and red eight-handed sedan chair with a green luan pattern on it and a bead on it, and they all backed away. Who would dare to sit in such a sedan chair except the royal family
"Master, there are noble people passing by in front of us, let's avoid it." Qu Yuesu sat in the sedan chair. Hearing these words, he said, "Which mansion is it?" Looking outside, she saw a large sedan chair coming over, she frowned, "Get out of the way."
Feeling that the sedan chair under her was swaying back a certain distance, Qu Yuesu felt a little bitter in her heart. Unless she can sit in the position of the Queen Mother in this life, she will not be able to use red in her life.
After the group of people who sat in the big sedan chair walked away, Qu Yuesu's sedan chair was lifted up again, and the eunuch who was guarding outside the sedan chair said, "Master, look at the little one who is sitting in the sedan chair may be Princess Duan. ."
Princess Duan? Qu Yuesu was taken aback, isn't that Qu Qingju
Thinking of the other party's scenery and her current appearance, she sneered, "Okay, I get it."
The speaker was too listening to see that the tone was wrong, so he pouted and lowered his head.
At the Qionglin Banquet, the jinshi in the middle class were all beaming and smiling.
Emperor Qingde sat down for a while and then left. The rest was handled by the Ministry of Rites. Some scholars wrote poems or got to know each other, which made the Qionglin banquet very lively.
However, there are also many people who are very prudent, do not speak casually, do not show off their literary talent casually, and do not drink casually, so as not to lose their temper when drunk.
He Heng sat in the first position on the left, looking at the various forms of beings below, so many students, only a few were needed.
This is the cruelty of officialdom.
