After waiting for me to take a bath. "

Seeing Wang Fei's expression as usual, Mujin smiled again and said, "This servant will ask someone to prepare."

Nodding her head, Qu Qing Ju lowered her eyelids and touched her earlobe. She felt a little shy about having a conversation with an unfamiliar person so soon.

☆、Qu Qingju: Hehe

The prince was about to come to the main courtyard, and the servants in the yard naturally all smiled and began to prepare for each other at a time.

On the contrary, Qu Qingju seemed to be relatively calm in the backyard. She had her wet hair loose and let Jinzhan wipe her hair, Yinliu did her hands, Yupin did her feet, and Mujin chose clothes and jewelry for herself.

"Princess's feet are so beautiful," the hosta said in admiration. The princess' feet were very fair, with rounded toes, which were very tender when pinched. After a long while, she sighed again, "Last time Banxia danced the interracial dance, the lord praised her for her beautiful ankles, and the servants saw that she was far worse than you, the princess."

"What kind of thing is she to compare with the princess?" Mujin picked out a red jade hairpin from the box, and when she heard the jade hairpin, she sneered: "It's just a lowly person, and it's worth bringing it up."

Only then did Yupin remember that Banxia was originally a servant girl beside the princess, and she seduced the prince to become a concubine, and immediately said, "Don't be annoyed, Sister Mujin, I don't think the princess's feet are so beautiful that my mind is stupid."

Hearing the two maids defending herself inside and out, Qu Qing Ju couldn't help but laugh: "If you say this, let others hear it, they think your princess is a fairy of the Nine Heavens, you can listen, I I can't stand it anymore, just help me up when I'm done, I can't listen anymore."

As soon as these words came out, several maids laughed out loud, but they were all relieved. The attitude of the princess showed that she did not take Banxia's affairs in her heart.

Qu Qingju prefers wide-sleeved skirts, so she chose a red wide-sleeved skirt in the end. The bright red skirt complemented her skin as crystal clear as snow. He asked Mujin to pull up a bun for himself at will, and fastened it with a red jade hairpin, then sat down on the chair and began to turn over a story of a talented woman and a beautiful woman.

It's not that she is very interested in these stories, it's just that there are too few ancient pastimes. After turning two pages, she was really not interested in reading the story of the ancient diao silk man YY Bai Fumei. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, she asked people to eat.

"Princess, the lord is still in the future. If you haven't eaten your meal when the lord comes, you have used it..." Mujin said worriedly, "If you are hungry, why don't the kitchen bring some porridge."

"It's been a while, where will the lord come to have dinner?" Qu Qingju waved her hand, "You can just order it." What's so good about that tasteless porridge? She doesn't like that soup. Soup water.

As soon as He Heng walked into the main courtyard, he saw a row of maids coming out with empty food boxes and shoving the maids who saluted him. He Heng was a little complicated, and there was a kind of feeling, "The princess didn't specially wait for me to eat, my status seems to be Not so high" sense of loss.

Entering the room, the first thing He Heng saw was the princess sitting by the round table washing her hands and preparing to eat. The red wide-sleeved dress was so eye-catching that he had to pay attention to the princess immediately. It's amazing to see this, this gorgeous woman in red, who is wiping her jade hand lazily, is her own princess? !

"Your Majesty is here?" Qu Qing Ju put down the silk cloth she was wiping her hands, and stood up with a smile and said, "The meal is available, if it's useless, let's have some together."

Although he had already used it, He Heng, who felt that he could still eat a little more, sat down and his eyes fell on the slightly swaying blue silk on Qu Qing Ju's cheeks until Qu Qing Ju placed a bowl of pearl white feather chicken soup in front of her with her own hands. Only then did he open his mouth and said, "Why did the princess have dinner just now?"

Qu Qing Ju twitched the corners of her mouth: "I wasn't too hungry just now, it's just a little bit late."

He Heng nodded, feeling that his heart was healed. Although the princess explained this, he felt that the princess had waited for him for a while before eating. Wang Ye, who thought that his self-esteem was satisfied, took a sip of the soup and suddenly felt that he was a little thirsty.

After finishing the meal, Qu Qing Ju washed her hands, drank tea and rinsed her mouth as usual. Then she found that the scent of the tea she rinsed today was stronger. Looking at He Heng who was sitting across from her, she knew in her heart that Jin was standing in front of her. What is the purpose of the lamp.

After the things on the table were put away, He Heng and Qu Qingju sat down on more comfortable chairs, while letting people handle the lamp.

"Except for the wedding night, I have never seen the princess in a red dress," He Heng smiled and looked at Qu Qing Ju from head to toe, "but this color is very suitable for the princess."

Qu Qing Ju smiled, seeing Mu Jin and the others lighting the candles in the house, and brushing the hair beside her cheeks with her hands, "People in the world say that a woman is a person who pleases herself, so my concubine must please the prince."

He Heng raised his brows slightly, stood up and walked in front of Qu Qingju, gently picking up the strands of blue silk: "Of course the princess pleases me, the princess has given me a big surprise in the past two days."

Qu Qing Ju raised her chin and smiled at He Heng: "Haha"

When the servants around saw this situation, Minghe and Hibiscus exchanged glances, and the two waved, and all the people in the room withdrew.

Ming He personally stretched out his hand to close the door, and saw that the maid next to the princess was still standing aside, he walked a few steps and saw her following, and then he lowered his voice and said, "We'll have to pay attention to whether the master needs anything else later." The maids used by the princess were all named after flowers, and he remembered that this seemed to be the most useful hibiscus.

Mujin nodded and said in a low voice, "Minghe, please rest assured." Who is not the proud person in front of the master, how to serve people is not understood by Minghe alone.

Seeing that she didn't talk much, Minghe stopped talking. Thinking about the appearance of the princess today, she couldn't help but think that if the princess didn't make a move, it would be amazing if she did. It's obviously a simple red dress and blue silk, how come it has that indescribable taste when you look at it

Rubbing his chin vigorously, Ming He quietly stood in the corner, paying attention to the movement in the room, for fear that he might not have noticed the master's instructions for a while and let others steal his current status.

In the room, the battle between He Heng and Qu Qingju had already reached the bed. At this time, both of them were in messy clothes. One was like a rainbow, and the other was winking like silk. They were just about to take the last step.

"Princess is really delicious," He Heng breathed softly behind Qu Qingju's ear, with a hoarseness in his voice, the tip of his tongue swept across the delicate neck, and he watched the person below him trembling with satisfaction.

Qu Qingju wrapped her arms around He Heng's neck with her backhand, her toes slid lightly over the instep of He Heng, with a smile that was not a smile: "Your Highness is also beautiful." Emma, this man's flirting skills are really high.

"This king wants to let the princess know who is beautiful and delicious." He Heng, who was appetizing by the princess' release, pulled away the only covering on Qu Qingju's chest, looking at the slightly undulating chest, he felt in his heart. The fire was burning like never before, and I wished I could take a bite on this woman's chest and leave my mark on this white and tender skin.

For a while, I don't know who lit whose fire, the two lips meet, the fire can no longer be suppressed, and now it is a wildfire, which is turned over by red waves, and the spring breeze blows again, and it is extremely enjoyable.

He Heng felt more refreshing than ever. After venting at the end, he took the sweet and soft woman into his arms and laughed in a hoarse voice: "Princess is really my treasure."

Although she couldn't believe the man's happy words, it didn't affect Qu Qingju's good mood after she was satisfied. She let this man of the highest quality hug her and yawned.

Seeing that the woman in his arms was sleepy, He Heng raised his voice: "Come here, prepare water."

Ming He, who was waiting outside, waved someone to carry the tub with hot water in, and counted the time, almost an hour had passed.

After lazily taking a shower, Qu Qing Ju didn't wear any clothes, she just walked to the bed wrapped in a layer of gauze.

He Heng looked at the red/naked jade feet, as well as the white legs and arms, his eyes changed, he bent down, picked up the person and threw them onto the bed, then pulled the quilt to cover the person, and said in a hoarse voice: " The princess is recruiting the king."

Qu Qing Ju laughed out loud, stretched out a hand from under the quilt, hooked her index finger and said, "This is Prince Zhao."

Seeing her gesture of beckoning cats and dogs, He Heng couldn't bear it any longer, he pulled the quilt and pressed the person under him again.

Ming He outside the door heard the movement in the house and stopped the minion who was going to carry the tub. He couldn't help but look at the moon in the sky. Isn't this spring already over

Early the next morning, the prince came out of the room full of energy, while the servant who was waiting outside waiting for the princess was standing still. Hearing that the prince ordered the servants not to disturb the princess to rest, Ming He, who followed behind the prince, couldn't help but admire, as expected of the prince.

Inside the house, Qu Qing Ju slept for another half an hour before asking someone to come in to serve her. Mujin Yinliu, who had been waiting, and the others walked in softly with the little maids.

"Princess," Mujin saw the extra mark beside the princess' collarbone, looked away slightly, quickly waited to put on her middle clothes, and picked out a flower-drawing dress with flying birds on the ground for Qu Qingju to put on.

After Qu Qingju had washed her face and sat in front of the bronze mirror to dress up, Mu Jin said, "Princess, the prince looked very good when he left today."

Qu Qingju handed her a pair of selected tassels on the temples, trying her best to show a shy red glow on her cheeks: "What nonsense, why don't you go and see if the meal is in the kitchen."

Seeing that the princess was shy, Mujin could only smile and say, "Okay, my servant will go and see, Jinzhan Yupin is waiting for me, and Yin Liu and I will have a look." Yupin has the most beautiful hair among several people, so she usually serves her. The princess combs her hair more.

After leaving the room, Mujin and Yinliu showed a happy look at each other. Now the princess has finally gained a firm foothold in the palace.

Yin Liu said with a smile: "On the birthday of Duke Changde next month, we will see who dares to be mad when the princess goes."

Mujin thought of the bad things and people in Changde's mansion, her expression faded a little, and sighed: "As long as the prince treats the princess like the past two days, who will disrespect the princess in Changde's mansion."

Can the Changde Palace be more honorable than the royal palace? I just hope that the princess won't be so stupid again, and let the people in that house become noble.

☆、Changde Gongfu

It was another day of greetings. The concubines and concubines waited early in the outer room of the main courtyard. This time, their behavior was much more cautious than last time, and the servants in the main courtyard were also a lot more polite.

Jinzhan brought a few little maids to serve tea to a few people, and then stood quietly on the side.

"Miss Jinzhan, we came a little early today. I wonder if we disturbed the princess' rest," Feng Zijin said apologetically and glanced in the direction of the main room, "The princess must have been very busy recently, but she is tired." Aren't you busy? Not only did you take the right to the backyard in your hands, but you also used the means to keep the prince in the main room every night. The princess' method is not low.

"Concubine Feng's words are serious," Jin Zhanfu said with a smile on his brows. "Recently, there is not much business in the mansion, and the prince loves the princess again. How can you be tired. Please don't worry about Concubine Feng, the princess will come over after a while."

Feng Zijin didn't expect that his words would be stabbed back, so he was slightly startled and said, "The princess is fine, it's our other sisters' greatest blessing."

When Qu Qing Ju walked to the door, she heard Feng Zijin's words, she smiled and entered the door without saying a word: "I will remember Feng Side Concubine's concern for now."

When the four of them heard the laughter, they all looked towards the door, and saw Qu Qingju walking in wearing a complicated Xiayun silver embroidered Luan bird dragging the floor, the long skirt was dragging on the ground, as if It dragged on their hearts, making them feel inexplicably suffocated.

Several people stood up immediately, and they all bowed to Qu Qingju, and saw the rosy skirt winding past their eyes, and the beautiful tail of the luan bird stabbed people's eyes.

"You don't need to be too polite, just sit down," Qu Qing Ju sat down at the top, waved her hand to let him sit down, glanced at the sky outside, and apologized slightly: "I got up a little late today, let me You've been waiting for a long time."

Naturally, the few people did not dare to accept the apology, they just smiled and said that they didn't wait long, and then waited for Qu Qing Ju to give a lesson.

"All of you are from the prince, and I have nothing to instruct, just serve the prince well," Qu Qing Ju held the tea cup in his left hand and lifted the tea lid slightly with his right, not to look at the faces of the people in the seat, "My prince. You handed over the backyard to me. I'm not a harsh person. I can only tolerate people who don't have rules. If there are mistakes in the rules, I don't need to look at anyone's face. Love, you can do it for yourself."

Unexpectedly, the princess spoke so straightforwardly, Feng Zijin was slightly taken aback, although she felt that the words were aimed at her, but she couldn't say a word. He also got up, and echoed a few words.

"Since everyone understands, I won't say more." Putting down the tea cup, Qu Qing Ju's expression softened, "I heard from Qian Changxin that the manor got a batch of ingredients a few days ago, and they will be distributed later. Go to your residence, the weather is getting colder, you can use these materials to make some new clothes." After speaking, he lifted the tea cup with one hand and slightly lifted it out.

Everyone winked, and when they saw this, they got up and said goodbye. After leaving the main courtyard, Feng Zijin snorted coldly: "Get a few pieces of cloth to be a good person, and you'll be sending beggars!"

Jiang Yongxu, who was walking behind her, heard this complaint and slowed down, pulling her distance further.

After the women left, Qu Qing Ju stood up, yawned, and said, "Chengchen." She was not a virtuous wife, and although she would not be harsh on innocent women for no reason, she couldn't do that kind of virtuous drama either. As for what Duan Wang will think, that is Duan Wang's business.

Shaking her wide sleeves, Qu Qing Ju smiled, but these ancient robes are really exquisite and beautiful.

After lunch alone, He Heng wiped his hands and said, "This king remembers that Duke Changde sent an invitation two days ago, saying it was Duke Changde's birthday?"

Ming He took the silk from the prince's hand, "The mansion of Changde did submit a post a few days ago. Except for our mansion, many people in Beijing got the post." It was just that the prince threw the post aside after reading it at that time. , why did you suddenly mention it again

"This king heard that the princess also got a post from the husband of Changde," He Heng frowned slightly, and his tone was a little displeased, "This generation of Changde's residence is not as good as the next generation, and this pomp is not seen that the generation is smaller than the next generation."

Ming He knew that this was the prince's dissatisfaction with Duke Chang De, so he bowed his head and stepped aside.

At this time, Qian Changxin, who was waiting outside the door, walked in, "Your Highness, the servant of Cuiyouyuan came to report that it was Miss Yunqing who hanged herself." .

"Where's the person?" He Heng asked coldly.

"I have been rescued, but I was out of breath for a while, and I have fallen asleep at the moment." Qian Chang scolded in confidence, this kiln woman just can't get on the stage, and it is not easy to find death, so she went around the beam in the middle of the night It's gone, but I chose this time to come to this play, and I don't know what to do if I really want to die.

"Let her stay with her if she has nothing to do, and tell her that if she wants to die again, go back to the original place and seek death, and don't dirty the land of my Duan Wangfu."

Seeing the lord pushing the tea cup in front of him, Qian Changxin immediately understood that the lord was fed up with the woman's routine of crying, making trouble and hanging himself.

He's just a little actor, but he wants to be that lofty person, and he has to compete with the princess, so he really forgets who he is. Miss's heart and maid's life, not all of their own!

"Since she lives in Cuiyouyuan, you want her to move to Qiuyizhai immediately," He Heng stood up, feeling a little tired, "That place is clean!"

Ming He watched Qian Changxin hurriedly withdrew, and raised his brows. Even with this method, he delusionally thought that the prince would take pity on him, which shows that this oiran still has a great reputation.

In the main courtyard, Qu Qing Ju was playing with the invitation card in her hand. For Duke Changde's birthday banquet, whether she liked it or not, she would go to the mansion for a short walk. She just remembered the grievances and dissatisfaction of this place in the original body in her memory. She looked a little cold.

In such feudal dynasties, men's loveliness may not be wrong in the eyes of the world, but it is a loss of virtue to let new people enter the door before the dead body is cold, and treat their daughters as nothing. A man who can't even be a dead husband for a year is really too chilling.

"Princess, if you don't want to go, have someone deliver the birthday gift on your behalf." Seeing that the princess' expression was wrong, Mu Jin had to persuade him, "No one is honorable in Changde's palace, but you go."

The princess is indeed more noble than the mansion of Changde, but her words are not necessarily pleasant, not to mention why she gave up such a good opportunity

Under this imperial power system, even though she is a daughter, Duke Changde still has to salute her. Wouldn't it be a waste of her status as Princess Duan to not use such a good "homecoming"

"It's not necessary, it's my good father's birthday, how can I, Princess Duan's daughter, not go," raised her lips and smiled, Qu Qing Ju threw the invitation aside, and saw Yin Liu walked in with anger on her face.

Mujin put the invitation aside and asked, "You have a blue face, who hired you?"

"It's not the one from Cuiyouyuan, it was a farce just now," Yin Liu gave Qu Qingju a blessing, "I heard that Yun Qing in Cuiyouyuan tried to hang herself, but the suicide note said something about the concubine's high mountain. Xue, in the quagmire of the quagmire, the inside and outside of the words imply that someone in the mansion treated her humiliatingly, this is accusing the princess that you have been slow to treat her!"

After saying this, Yin Liu's tone became more and more irritated: "A courtesan, what kind of high mountain snow, is it possible that no one is as noble as her!"

"The snow on the high mountain has melted, but it hides dirt and filth. She likes to make snow that is white on the surface and dirty on the inside. Who would argue with her?" Mujin snorted coldly, and then said: "Is there something to say from the lord? But be careful not to let people ruin the reputation of the princess."

"Sister Mujin, you don't have to worry about it. Just now, the news came out that the lord scolded the man who was not dirty in the Duan Wang Mansion, and even had people move it to Qiu Yi Zhai." Speaking of this, she felt that most of her anger had subsided. " What kind of place is Qiuyizhai, and the beauty has become a savage. It can be seen that the prince is also dissatisfied with her, and the princess does not need to be angry for such a person. "

After listening to Yin Liu's words, Qu Qing Ju said with a smile, "I'm not angry, but you are angry." He motioned Mujin to pour a cup of tea for Yin Liu and moisten her throat, "That Yun Qing is not a person worth mentioning, Why should I be angry for her." This Yun Qing is not a smart woman, if she is sensual and honest every day, she might get a face or two from Duan Wang, but now she is showing a high-minded look , but is the next best policy.

Perhaps ordinary whore clients will eat Yun Qing's tricks, but who is He Heng? He is the dignified Prince Duan of the Daxi Dynasty. What kind of woman has he never seen before? He Heng was willing to play with her.

"I asked someone to return to the post of Duke Changde's mansion, saying that on the day of the birthday banquet, I will be there to celebrate my father's birthday in person." Qu Qingju pursed her lips and chuckled, looking forward to the birthday banquet of Duke Changde soon. There is too little entertainment in this era, and you always have to find something to do, so as to not live up to this time.

Not long after, Mrs. Changde personally received the messenger from Duan Wangfu, and got the news that Duan Wangfei would come to the banquet on the day of her birthday banquet.

When the Chuan-chuan mammy left, Mrs. Liang, Mrs. Changde sneered, "I heard that the girl was not favored by the prince, but today the Chuan-chuan mammy pretended to be a princess who was used heavily. I really can't imagine that a dumb person would also Make a face for yourself."

Qu Yuesu, who was sitting next to her, sighed and said, "Madam, my sister is already married. No matter whether the prince loves her or not, she is always the princess."

Liang Shi looked at her daughter who was as beautiful as jade and knew what her daughter meant. She lowered her eyelids and said coldly, "No matter what she is, she will not be honored to you in the future."

Qu Yuesu smiled faintly when he heard the words, and stopped talking.

☆、VIP

It was already autumn, and the weather was getting colder. There was a lot of joy in the Changde Gongfu. The Changde Gongfu was full of carriages of various colors. Welcome to the door.

Outside the second gate, Duke Changde's only son and nephew warmly received the guests. Although the two were young, they were praised by many young people.

In recent years, although the palace of Changde has been declining more and more, who let the family have a good daughter and marry Duan Wang as the princess, no matter what they think in their hearts, they still do their job well. Don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, Duan Wang's face is always given.

Anyway, this Changde Gongfu is the Yue family of King Duan, and coming here to show a face and give a gift is always more pros than cons.

"The blessing of Duke Changde is like the East China Sea." It was Marquis Bao Rong who spoke, and this man was only a high-ranking person in Beijing, but Duke Changde didn't dare to offend him.

"Where, there is Lord Lao running this trip," Chang De Gong walked to the lobby with the other party's hand, and the other party didn't show any kindness to him. When I arrive, I will ask your father-in-law to lead me to find Wangye for two drinks."

When Duke Changde heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable. Duan Wangfu's reply stated that the princess would definitely come. As for whether the prince will come, this matter is uncertain. When Bao Ronghou said this, Duke Changde felt a little resentful. The married daughter is incompetent, so she can't win over the prince's heart, making him suffer from this embarrassment.

"Definitely," Chang Degong smiled and invited people into the house, concealing the embarrassment in his heart.

Bao Ronghou smiled and said: "Master is busy, I will go in by myself, don't be polite." After speaking, he entered the hall by himself, sneering in his heart, no one knew, but he knew that the Qu family The daughter who was married to Duan Wangfu was not liked by the prince at all. It was strange that the prince would come to attend the birthday banquet of Duke Changde.

Do you think that a daughter is a princess and a relative of the royal family? I bother!

In the garden of the inner courtyard, Mrs. Liang received the female relatives. Seeing the more lively scene this year than in previous years, Mrs. Liang felt a little complicated. In previous years, these people only gave gifts and did not show up, but today they are all free. It wasn't because that Qu Qing Ju became the princess, these people still mocked her for being bad to Qu Qing Ju, as if they could be noble by saying these things.

"According to what I said, Madam is really lucky. The eldest daughter is Princess Duan, and the third daughter looks like a flower and jade," Madam Bao Rong Hou said, and she deliberately stopped to look at Wei Chang who was standing in the corner. The second girl from Duke Degong's house said, "The second girl also looks like a sign. We can't envy such a blessing."

"Mrs. Wang, don't praise these girls," Liang Shi smiled coldly. "How can we have a few wild girls in your family who can match the young ladies of your house." In this capital, who does not know Bao Ronghou's eldest daughter I married a poor scholar, and now I go back to my parents' house every three days to fight the autumn wind.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Baorong, was not angry with Mrs. Liang, and only replied, "Where is it?"

Others watched with cold eyes on the two of them fighting. The feud between Mrs. Bao Ronghou and Mrs. Changde is a long time ago. The two fought each other before they left the cabinet. Now that they are married, they can still let others watch the excitement. .

Some of the ladies present who had known the two of them for a long time still remember that when Mrs. Wang married Marquis Bao Rong, Mrs. Liang was so angry that she did not attend the gathering of the daughters of the boudoir in Beijing for half a year, until Mrs. Liang married Chang, who was no less than Marquis Bao Rong. Duke De, once again confronted the Wang clan.

Although some people despised Wang's frivolous appearance, they even disliked Liang's style of doing things, so they did not speak from beginning to end, but decided not to bring young girls to Baorong Hou's mansion and Changde's mansion in the future.

At this time, it was not far from Changde Gongfu, and Duan Wangfu's support was slowly approaching. When other officials who came to celebrate the birthday saw the appearance of Duan Wangfu and his party, they all avoided it, and only continued to advance until the people from the Wangfu passed by.

"Why did the carriage stop?" A first-rank Mrs. Dayuan sat in the carriage, and when she noticed that the carriage stopped, she asked suspiciously. She was reluctant to come to Changde Gongfu, but now that the carriage has stopped, she is even more unhappy.

An old mama got on the carriage and said in a low voice, "Madam, the people from Duanwang's mansion are here, and everyone avoided it."

When she heard that it was Duanwang's mansion, the official's wife couldn't stop. She looked out through the gap, only to see the guards opening the way. Ordinary double carriages passed by, followed by some well-dressed long and easy-going eunuchs, although not extremely luxurious, but at a glance, people felt that this was the royal aura.

"It looks like the frame of Prince Duan." The official's wife was a little fortunate. Fortunately, she came in person today. Otherwise, when the prince arrived today, their family just followed the ceremony, wouldn't they offend the royal people? No matter which prince sits in that position in the future, the face of the royal family can never be lost by these people.

The concierge looked at the frame of Duan Wangfu from a distance, and hurriedly turned around and ran into the second door to report the matter to the master.

Chang De just greeted an adult, and saw a young servant hurriedly running, saying that the frame of the prince had arrived.

The adults who were chatting wisely expressed that there was no need for Duke Changde to specially entertain him. He watched Duke Changde hurriedly walk out and thoughtfully entered the inner hall.

In the large carriage, Qu Qing Ju sat side by side with He Heng. She looked at He Heng's normal expression and said, "The mansion of Changde is coming soon."

"Princess is thinking of her mother's family." He Heng didn't want to come, but remembered the anger that the princess felt before she left the court, and somehow wanted to come again. Seeing that the princess's tone was flat, she couldn't help laughing, "It can be seen that this husband of mine. If you don't do it well, the princess misses her father."

"My lord, don't make fun of my concubine," Qu Qingju squinted at He Heng. Early this morning, this bizarre wang ye had people bring all kinds of jewelry, and he told her to choose and wear whatever she wanted. Looking at the boxes of valuable jewelry, she thought that the prince was going to open a jewelry shop.

When she finally finished dressing up, the man wearing a moonlight soft silk and gold thread auspicious cloud robe rushed out and said that he wanted to accompany her to the Changde Gongfu. Seeing how handsome he was, Qu Qingju laughed. Followed him into the carriage, who knew that he would say strange things again at this time.

"The concubine is married to the prince, and the family is Duan Wang's mansion. The prince said this because he disliked the concubine's poor performance?" Qu Qing Ju tilted her head, acting as if she didn't want to deal with it.

The smile on He Heng's face became more obvious when he heard this. He reached out and put Qu Qingju's hand in his palm: "Don't worry, it's not me who hurts you when you're angry." After speaking, his expression became more serious, " Some things, I know in my heart, you don't have to worry."

Qu Qing Ju turned her head to look at He Heng. Seeing that the other party was still smiling, she didn't know what the other party meant by saying this, so she smiled and said, "My lord loves my concubine, and my concubine understands." If you really believe it, it will be a tragedy. .

"Prince, princess, Changde's mansion is here." The carriage slowly stopped, and Qian Changxin's voice came from outside.

"Xiaguan has seen Wang Ye, Wang Fei," Duke Changde saw that the carriage stopped, and hurriedly brought people forward to salute.

"Today, on the birthday of Duke Changde, this king is here to celebrate your birthday, so you don't need to be so gifted."

When Qian Changxin heard that the prince was born, he stepped forward and opened the curtain for the prince, then knelt down and let the prince step on his back.

Qu Qing Ju put on the gauze hat and just stepped out of the carriage when she saw a hand stretched out in front of her. She looked at the owner of the hand with a smile on her face, and lowered her head slightly to help He Heng's hand get off the carriage.

The sedan chair was prepared by the side, Mujin raised the sedan chair and let Qu Qingju go in. After putting down the sedan chair, she blessed Wang Ye and sat in the sedan chair behind with the other big girls.

Seeing Duan Wang coming to congratulate him on his birthday in person, Duke Chang De was overjoyed. Seeing the attitude of the prince towards his daughter, his face even bloomed with a smile, and he led He Heng into the mansion through the gate.

Duan Wang entered the door, and Mammy Dali, who was carrying the sedan chair, also hurriedly lifted the sedan chair and entered the door, but the direction was different from that of Duan Wang, but went towards the back garden.

He Heng was led by Duke Chang De to the inner hall. Seeing two teenagers under fifteen years old following behind, he asked, "Who are these two?"

"My lord, this is the dog, Quwangzhi, and his nephew, Liang Rong." Hearing that the lord mentioned his son, the Duke of Changde said happily, "You still don't show your respect to the lord."

The two of them were busy and bowed again, and He Heng lightly excused the two of them, "What books did the two read?"

"The dog doesn't live up to his expectations, he is still studying at Dongshan College, and his nephew was a scholar last year." Duke Changde saw that the prince's tone was flat, and he didn't dare to go too far, so he had to answer honestly.

This King Duan is only about twenty years old, but he is not to be underestimated. Duke Chang De has some emotions, he is worthy of being a prince.

"Your son is the only son of the grandfather. Now that he is young, the grandfather doesn't have to force him too hard," He Heng nodded, "The king of Dongshan Academy also heard about it, there are many famous people in it, and the king heard that it was rare for his wife to give birth back then. The twins of the dragon and the phoenix, your son will surely do something in the future."

"Where is it, the prince praised it." As a father, he naturally likes others to praise his son, not to mention that Wangzhi and Yosu are indeed rare twins in the capital. This is enough to make him proud for many years. It's just that he didn't see the coldness in He Heng's eyes.

Qu Wangzhi, who was walking in the back, listened to the conversation between the two, and remembered his mother's dislike for the eldest sister, and couldn't help but think, now that the eldest sister has become a princess, will they deliberately let people take revenge on them? If it was the third sister who became the princess, the mother didn't need to be angry with the eldest sister.

In the inner garden, Mrs. Liang was finishing arguing with Mrs. Bao Ronghou when she heard a maid hurried in: "Madam, Princess Duan is here."

Everyone present here is not as high as Princess Duan, and when they heard this, they all stood up. No matter how unwilling Liang's heart is, now he has to get up and walk to the Chuihuamen to greet him.

When she walked to the hanging flower gate, she saw a sedan covered with jewels parked outside the flower gate. Before she could stop smelling it, a group of maids and maids crowded up, each with a cautious and awe-inspiring expression.

She sneered a little, really, the pheasant has turned into a phoenix, and even the style has increased.

☆、10、Show affection

The dark sedan curtain was opened, and a white hand stretched out and placed it on the hibiscus hand bowed beside the sedan door, and then another foot wearing a jewel-encrusted gold shoe stepped out, faintly visible. A wavy skirt.

Liang Shi looked at the woman walking out of the sedan chair. Although the smile on her face did not diminish, the curvature of the corners of her mouth became quite stiff. The person in front of him, Qu Qing Ju, has changed a lot compared to the day he returned to the door.

Seeing her mother's unwell behavior, Qu Yuesu, who was following her, walked towards Qu Qing Ju with a smile. After she was blessed, she said affectionately, "Sister is coming, my wife and I have been looking forward to it."

Hearing this, Qu Qing Ju walked in the direction of Liang's family and said, "I was going to go out a long time ago, but the prince was going to come with me, so it was delayed for a while." At this point, people have already arrived at Liang. In front of Shi, she bowed slightly, "It's my fault to keep my wife waiting for a long time."

No matter how much Liang shi disliked Qu Qingju, but in front of so many people, she didn't dare to accept this bow, she immediately held Qu Qingju's hand, bowed in return, and said, "The concubine's mansion is busy with affairs. If you can come early, you can see that you are filial to the master, but don't say such things."

Everyone who had been waiting to greet the princess approached when they heard these words, and they all stepped forward to praise Qu Qingju. For the time being, regardless of whether Princess Duan was favored or not, only Xiang Qinghou's family attached great importance to Princess Duan. It is enough to make them value Princess Duan, not to mention the fact that Princess Duan is dressed up and Wang Duan personally accompanies her, which is enough to prove Princess Duan's status in King Duan's heart.

After the invitation to Qu Qing Ju was rejected, the Liang family no longer insisted. No matter how much Princess Duan respected her, she was still her mother in terms of human affection, and it was not wrong for her to sit in the upper seat.

When others saw Liang's behavior, they secretly laughed at her stupidity. It is reasonable that Princess Duan really wanted to call her a mother, but now they are from the royal family, and you are showing the money of being a mistress at this time. Annoy the prince and let her husband and children suffer when they go out. Princess Duan can respect you as your nominal mother, so is it possible that a grand prince will also give you face

No matter who you are, you should be two points lower in front of the royals, not to mention a stepmother.

It's no wonder that when the Liang family fell to the point of letting the daughter become the Duke of Changde to fill in the house, he smiled.
