"
"Concubine Xian is here?" Qu Qing Ju looked away from her son and instructed the nurse to take a good look at the prince before she got up and said, "Let's go, go and have a look."
Jiang Yongxu was sitting on a chair drinking tea, but when he saw Qu Qingju coming out, he immediately put down the teacup, got up and gave her a salute.
"Concubine Xian doesn't need to be too polite," Qu Qing Ju smiled and sat down at the top, "please take a seat, as soon as this day enters June, it will be too hot, why are you here?"
"The concubine has nothing to do on weekdays, so I made some clothes for His Royal Highness, and I don't know if they are suitable or not," Jiang Yongxu took a stack of baby clothes from Ai Lu's hand, "I hope the empress will not dislike the concubine. Concubine's craftsmanship."
Qu Qing Ju took the clothes and looked at them, and said with admiration: "Concubine Xian's craftsmanship is really exquisite, and what Ben Gong makes can't compare to yours." She motioned Mujin to put it away, "It's really hard for you, it's so hot. I still do these things that boil my eyes."
Jiang Yongxu hurriedly said: "It's just something for a child, it doesn't take much effort. If you say something more polite, the concubine will like it when she sees His Royal Highness, and can make clothes for His Royal Highness, the concubine is very happy. "
"In the future, the clothes of the eldest prince will be a lot of trouble for your concubine," Qu Qingju said with a happy face, "This time this palace will be much more relaxed."
After Jiang Yongxu heard Qu Qingju's words, the smile on her face became more obvious, but she is a very measured person. Knowing that the emperor might be coming over at this time, she got up and retire. If you want to live with the queen, if you bump into the emperor, what will it be
After sending Concubine Xian back, Mujin and the people below checked the items sent by Concubine Xian one by one, and then said: "These materials are all the best used, and there is no problem."
"Well," Qu Qingju was not surprised, she knew that people like Jiang Yongxu would never do things that would be unfavorable to others, so she picked up a baby apron, and used high-quality silk and satin. It looks delicate and smooth, and it is very comfortable to wear even in the hot summer. I am afraid that Concubine Xian used all the best fabrics in her place to make these things. She stroked the tiger pattern on her bellyband and said with a smile, "Wait. After bathing Your Highness in a while, let's put it on."
Mujin hesitated for a moment and said, "Niangniang, why do you treat Concubine Xian so well?"
"She has never harmed me, and she has shown good intentions, so why should I embarrass her?" Qu Qing Ju looked at the pile of children's clothes, not knowing how long it would take to make these clothes with neatly cut ends. Do it well, "It's all women, why should I bother her."
Mujin was stunned for a moment, then she understood what the empress was thinking. Thinking of Concubine Xian's behavior, she said with some doubts: "Concubine Xian didn't take this opportunity to win the emperor's attention, which is a little surprising."
"She understands what she wants," Qu Qing Ju put down the apron in her hand and smiled, "She is a smart person, that's why I dare to treat her like this."
He Heng entered the inner room of the apse of Tianqi Palace, and saw Qing Ju playing with a pile of baby clothes. He walked up to her and picked up a small jacket, "The bat embroidery on it is quite good."
"Well, Concubine Xian embroidered for Huang'er," Qu Qing Ju glanced at him, "These clothes are well done."
Putting down the jacket in his hand, He Heng turned to ask, "Is the emperor still sleeping?"
"It's been an hour since I slept, I'm afraid I'm about to wake up," Qu Qing Ju dragged him to the side of the bed to see his son, and pointed at his son's open limbs, "Like a pig."
"My son's sleeping appearance is really domineering," He Heng looked at his son from top to bottom with a satisfied smile, and by the way pulled the little silk quilt on his son's stomach, "Look at his sleeping appearance, why don't you take it? A baby named Dolphin, a cheap name is easy to support."
When Qu Qingju heard the name, the first thing that came to her mind were cute things like finless porpoises, pufferfish and dolphins, but when she looked up and down, she didn't think her son's sleeping appearance was linked to these kinds of creatures. She glanced at the thin silk thread again. The round belly that was pushed up was almost like a little suckling pig.
"Don't like it?" Seeing her puzzled face, He Heng thought she was unhappy, so he pointed to his son's belly and said, "Look at this belly, it's almost like a pig."
It turned out that dolphin means pig, she laughed dryly: "It's good to call dolphin, I like it."
Maybe he was awakened by the voice of his unreliable parents. Doudou opened his eyes with a sullen mouth. After smelling his mother, he hummed twice and didn't cry. Just when He Heng picked him up, A warm bubble of piss from the boy spread on He Heng's robe.
The nanny next to her turned pale with fright, but Qu Qing Ju laughed when she saw this, pointing to He Heng's dripping robe, "Good luck, Your Majesty, boy urine is a good thing to ward off evil spirits, this year let's Dalong It must be a good year with good weather."
Doudou hummed on his father's body, as if agreeing with his mother's statement, He Heng reluctantly touched his son's butt, and handed the child to the nurses, asking them to take the child down to feed him. Turning around, he was about to sit beside Qu Qingju.
"Don't come here, you're all wet," Qu Qingju reached out to stop her, but He Heng pressed her on the bed and rubbed it several times.
"How can I enjoy my son's boy urine alone, and Qing Ju will also come to ward off evil spirits," He Heng pressed the man under him, and reached out to touch the well-recovered waist, "It is said that women's waist changes after giving birth. Thick, why is Qing Ju's waist still so soft?" As he spoke, he stole a scent from Qu Qing Ju's face.
Qu Qing Ju reached out to scratch his itch, but was stopped by one of his hands, and the other hand took the opportunity to get into her clothes.
Mujin Qian Changxin and others in the outer room waited for the laughter of the two masters to come from the room, and signaled the waiters to retreat to the door of the outer room, and then lowered their heads to look at the patterns on the floor.
About half an hour later, the emperor and the queen came out again. They both changed into new clothes and seemed to be in a good mood.
Qian Changxin and others were busy waiting for the lunch to be brought up. He looked at the diligent present of the emperor personally serving dishes to the empress, and thought to himself, the adults in the previous dynasty would never have thought that the emperor would have such a side.
Looking at the empress, who enjoys the emperor's service with peace of mind, it is hard to find a woman in the world who treats the emperor as an ordinary person, and the queen is also hard to find in the world.
As the sun went down, the Yuping Palace was very lively. It turned out that the emperor and the empress had come down with a lot of things, which made everyone in the palace full of joy.
Jiang Yongxu looked at these rare objects, smiled and rewarded some things to the people who were serving them, and then asked Ai Lu to collect all the things in his private vault, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
It seems that the Queen Mother really accepts herself, and she will have a solid support in the palace in the future.
"I didn't expect that the emperor would appreciate so many things," Ai Lu said with some joy, "It seems that the emperor still has a master in his heart."
"You stupid girl, the emperor is complimenting me for being funny," Jiang Yongxu raised the corner of his mouth, "Don't think about those useless things, go and spread the dinner."
The emperor even gave her a decree today to allow her to have her own small kitchen, which means that she is now the real lord of the house.
What's the point of fighting for the favor of the emperor who is destined to be unwinnable? It's better to fight for the favor of the queen. The days can be leisurely and comforting, so why not do it
☆、109·The problem of trust
Qu Qing Ju has been living a very comfortable life recently, teasing her son every day, tasting some delicious food, and living a comfortable and comfortable life.
When He Heng arrived at the apse that day, he saw his son wearing a bellyband on the bed with difficulty stroking his hands and feet, his neck lifted twice, and then slammed down again, causing his mother to laugh out loud. .
"What's this for?" He Heng sat down beside the bed and watched his son paddling his feet like a little turtle, but he didn't move at all, but he didn't make any trouble, he kept kicking his legs unremittingly. .
"It's fine, just let him exercise his legs and neck," Qu Qing Ju skillfully turned her son over, patted his ass, watched him grin at her, and leaned over to give him a sip , took a fragrant powder box from Hibiscus and began to give the child prickly heat powder.
"Nanny can do these things," He Heng poked his son's lotus-like arm, "This kid has a good temper."
"My son is following me," Qu Qingju pulled up Doudou's arm and threw it in his creaking nest twice, "What do I have to do with these things, my own child doesn't hurt, so what do I do to give birth to him
He Heng felt uncomfortable for a while. He looked at the grinning fat boy on the bed with complicated eyes, and instantly felt that his position in Qing Ju's heart was not as good as half of his son's finger, "Tomorrow will be a hundred years old. Li, what's your opinion on the process list I showed you earlier?"
"It's good," Qu Qing Ju held the dolphin to the nurse and asked him to leave the baby to feed the baby. After the nurses had retired, she said, "It's just that it's too grand, it's just a hundred-year-old gift. …”
"He is the eldest son of the emperor's direct descendant, and his status is precious. What's wrong with being grand," He Heng understood Qu Qingju's doubts, and he took the man into his arms, "When our future children come out, they will be bigger than their elder brothers. Two points lighter."
"Okay," Qu Qing Ju smiled. She didn't take He Heng's promise-like words to heart. She knew that what he said now was true, but that didn't mean she believed it was always valid.
The official start of the centenary ceremony of the eldest son was chosen by the officials of Qin Tianjian. It is said that it matched the horoscope of the eldest son of the emperor and the astrology of the day, and even referred to the decorations of the Hall of Luan Harmony, which ensured that this time was the best time of the day. It's best to benefit the eldest son of the emperor.
Qu Qing Ju didn't know much about such complicated things, but judging from the preparations for the Dolphin Centennial Ceremony, it was enough to show that He Heng attached great importance to this matter.
I personally changed the dolphin into the hundred-year-old clothes made by the Queen Mother herself. I heard that the fabric of the hundred-year-old clothes was found by the Queen Mother from many wealthy and well-off families. It is possible that hundreds of fabrics or needles were actually used.
Touching the gourd peanuts and other patterns embroidered on Baijia's clothes, Qu Qingju bent down and picked up the sleeping dolphin, "Let's go, go to Luanhe Palace."
The Hall of Luan Harmony was a place where large-scale banquets were held in the DPRK, such as the canonization of the queen, the canonization of the prince, etc. The centenary ceremony held in this place alone is enough to prove the status of the dolphin.
In the Hall of Luanhe, all the people who should come are here. Everyone looks at the door, waiting for the empress to bring the eldest son of the emperor to appear, but because the emperor and the two empress dowagers are present, everyone's actions are very subtle.
When the auspicious time was approaching, everyone finally heard the announcement from the eunuch at the door.
"The Empress is here, and His Royal Highness is here."
Everyone stood up and knelt down to greet them, and then saw a group of people walking across the red carpet. The pair of golden shoes in the front were embroidered with a phoenix spreading their wings, which was extraordinarily gorgeous.
"rise!"
When everyone got up, they saw the queen holding the prince and sitting down on the right side of the emperor, wearing a complicated phoenix robe, looking forward to Shenfei, which was indescribably beautiful.
Some people say that when a woman gives birth to a child, it is dried plums, sour and tasteless, but how does the Queen Mother look like she has given birth to a child
At the moment, some people sighed with emotion, no wonder the emperor loves so much, who is such a woman, that is also the kind that men like.
There is no complicated process in the centenary ceremony. After all, the child is still young, who would come up with a lot of rules to toss the child
However, the two empresses personally prayed to the sky for the child, and personally brought the child a longevity lock and longevity bracelet, indicating that the child's longevity and luck were tied, and the two empress dowagers put on the child's tiger-headed shoes and tigers. Put on the head cap, touch the top of the child's head and soles to express the blessing of the elders, and it's over.
After the process was over, Dou Pu let the wet nurse hug him, and the two queen mothers followed, leaving He Heng and Qu Qing Ju to have a feast with everyone.
The names of the dishes at the banquet were all auspicious and blessed, and the taste was second, but all the children felt that the emperor valued the queen and the eldest son of the emperor.
Although everyone did not dare to pour alcohol for the emperor, they also told the emperor a lot of auspicious words about the eldest son of the emperor, which made He Heng Longyan very happy, and couldn't help drinking several more glasses.
Seeing him like this, Qu Qing Ju was worried that he would get drunk, so he let him drink some soup to suppress the wine, but seeing He Heng's cheerfulness, she felt that the soup might not have much effect.
"My brother, I would like to offer a cup to the emperor. I wish the emperor and the queen to grow old. I wish His Royal Highness a long life and good health." At the end of the banquet, He Yuan raised his glass and stood up.
He Heng looked at He Yuan who was holding the wine glass high, stood up slowly with the wine glass up, and said with a light smile, "Thank you third brother."
The two brothers smiled in a similar way and drank the glass of wine with their heads raised.
Qu Qing Ju looked at the two of them, but did not see many smiles on their faces. She glanced at the people sitting far away below. She was separated from them by the height of nine steps, and the distance between them was nine steps. farther away.
After the banquet, He Heng was indeed a little drunk. Although his behavior was the same as usual, Qu Qing Ju felt from his eyes and words that the other party's consciousness was no longer so clear.
"Go back to the apse," He Heng didn't forget to tell Qian Changxin when he pulled Qu Qingju onto the imperial carriage, "Let the nurse take good care of the prince."
The speed of the Yujuan was neither fast nor slow, and it was also very stable. Qu Qingju could only feel it shaking slightly. She looked at the person beside her and raised two fingers: "Your Majesty, what time is this?"
He Heng held her two raised fingers in the palm of his hand and said with a smile, "I'm not drunk, don't worry."
The opponent's palm was a little hot, so Qu Qing Ju reached out and touched his forehead, but smiled helplessly: "It's fine if you're not drunk." Drunk people never say they're drunk, just like many people who make mistakes don't want to admit that they did it. wrong.
"You don't believe me?" He Heng looked up at her with burning eyes, inexplicably carrying a sense of grievance and dissatisfaction, "You always don't believe me."
"Why don't I believe you anymore," Qu Qing Ju laughed when she saw his aggrieved look, "You're not drunk, I didn't say I didn't believe you, right?"
"Many times you don't believe me," He Heng rested his head on Qu Qingju's chest, "I said I would always treat you well, but you don't believe it; I said that you will be the only woman in the future, and you don't believe it either; I said As long as you give birth to me alone in the future, you will still doubt me. Why don't you believe me?"
Qu Qing Ju lightly stroked He Heng's back hand for a while. She looked down at the man who was accusing her, and after a while, she said with a chuckle, "Your Majesty, you think too much."
"I didn't think too much, I know very well," He Heng wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her tightly, "We still have decades to come, and there will always be a point where you will believe what I say."
His voice was already a little vague, Qu Qing Ju knew that he was about to fall asleep, she patted his back like a dolphin, and said softly: "There is no reason in the world to believe that if the emperor is To convince me, it's always been good to me, only time will tell."
The man in her arms snorted something, but Qu Qing Ju didn't hear it clearly, she just patted the man's back lightly with a calm and serene expression on her face.
Qian Changxin and Minghe outside the imperial car seemed to have not heard the movement inside. The two didn't even exchange glances, but the expressions on their faces were much more cautious.
The weather in August was still very hot. After He Heng was helped to sleep on the bed, Qu Qing Ju had the ice bowls in the two rooms removed. If you are drunk and too cool, you will suffer when you wake up.
Taking the handkerchief handed by Mujin, he wiped He Heng's hands and face with his own hands, and Qu Qing Ju said, "Let the people below prepare the sobering tea, which the emperor will use if he wakes up."
Yin Liu silently retreated, and the others noticed that something was wrong with the Empress, but they didn't know what happened. However, no one dared to ask more questions, but it was more attentive to serve.
When He Heng woke up, the sun was already setting. He rubbed his aching forehead and sat up from the bed. He glanced at the house and recognized that this was the room where Qing Ju lived. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out how he was lying down to the bed.
"The emperor is awake?" A blue-and-white porcelain teacup was handed in front of him, "Drink the sober tea."
He raised his head to look at Qu Qing Ju, the setting sun was shining on her through the window, because of the backlight he couldn't see the expression on her face, but he was inexplicably sure that the other party had a smile on his face now.
Perhaps it was because of this inexplicable certainty that he obediently took the teacup, drank a whole cup of very unpleasant sober tea in one breath, and finally squeezed his throat and said, "It's so late?"
"No, you drank too much at the banquet just now," Qu Qing Ju took the empty bowl from his hand, "I asked the people in the kitchen to prepare light meals, you can use some when you get up."
He Heng put on his robes, but still felt a little dizzy. He frowned and glanced inside the room, dissatisfied, "Where are all the people serving you, why are you alone in the room, Qing Ju?"
"You're not human anymore?" Qu Qing Ju glared at him, "You slept right, so I'll let them all go out so as not to disturb you."
He Heng was completely relieved by Qu Qing Ju's staring at him, and now he wondered, as if there was something wrong, why did Qing Ju look at him with a softer look
Is it because he hasn't fully woken up or is it the wrong way to get up
☆、110 Dance
The hot summer gradually passed, and the distinguished masters in the palace changed their gauze clothes, lost the fans in their hands, and replaced the hairpin rings from jade to other types. There are also some palace maids with ulterior motives who want to attract the attention of the emperor. They work hard on clothes and jewelry, but they must abide by the rules of the palace. It makes these people take great pains. Unfortunately, because the emperor's whole heart is on the queen, no one attracts them. to the emperor's attention.
The Kuiyuan Palace has been renovated long ago, and the night pearl inlaid in the house was also removed because of His Royal Highness, and replaced it with a beautiful glazed lamp. This toss is only because a certain Ministry of Works official once said inadvertently, the night pearl may be Harmful to the body.
Everyone knows that Ye Mingzhu is a rare item. Many people do not understand why the Queen does not use Ye Mingzhu, so many people outside quickly praise the Queen for being frugal. This kind of beautiful misunderstanding He Heng thinks that it will continue to be beautiful.
Although some people know that the queen has been living in the Tianqi Palace, it is not in compliance with the rules, but the emperor has already said that the Kuiyuan Palace will be renovated soon, and it is not good for the newborn children. And because June has already passed, the good day to move will not be until February next year, so the date when the empress moved to Kuiyuan Palace was finally set on the twelfth day of the second month of the second year of Jiayou, which is the day of the Huachao Festival. , and now nature and the little highness live in the Tianqi Palace as usual.
Since the emperors of others have made such a decision, there is no one in the court who is not talkative, and the left and right emperors and empresses have a deep relationship. If they are outsiders who are meddling with these things, isn't it that the emperor hates them, not to mention that the empress dowagers have no opinion, why should they care? Worry about eating radishes lightly
Qu Qing Ju occasionally hears some rumors about her from the outside world, most of them say that she looks like a fairy, is kind-hearted, and is diligent and thrifty. Although she feels that the queen in these rumors has nothing to do with her, she also understands in her heart. , behind these rumors is the shadow of He Heng's manipulation.
He Heng used this method to protect her. She was very useful, so she couldn't bear to tear down He Heng's stage. Occasionally, she would also reward some famous and kind-hearted women in the Dalong Dynasty in the name of the queen. He even personally rewarded a remarried daughter who saved several children in the fire after his own death in September.
This woman was gossiped by some people in the same village because of her remarriage, but when the handkerchief embroidered with "Women Don't Allow Men" was rewarded by Qu Qingju, she became a respected woman in the whole county, and no one else was because of her. She had the experience of remarriage and looked down on her, but she was polite and polite to her.
Qu Qingju believes that she has no strength to be a promoter of history, but she wants to do something that she can do. Men in this world can still be praised for being romantic with multiple wives and concubines, so why can't they tolerate a woman who remarrys
Although some scholars in the Dalong Dynasty thought that it was the virtue of a woman not to marry two husbands, but they could not erase the village women's righteous deeds to save people, so not many people jumped out and said that the empress's actions were inappropriate, and even more so. What's more, the empress praised the village women's actions to save people, and did not praise the village women's good remarriage. They jumped out and made irresponsible remarks.
So this matter has passed so lightly, Qu Qing Ju is still the head of her harem. When she is bored, she listens to the music, listens to the interesting stories of Chaowai, and then picks one or two things to praise. Praise, reward some things, tease my son, this day is also very comfortable.
After the empress dowager and Qu Qingju passed away, it was He Heng's longevity festival. Because it was the first longevity ceremony that He Heng gave after he ascended the throne, this longevity would become grand even if it wasn't grand.
Not to mention the officials of the aristocratic families in Dalong's own country, even some of the surrounding small countries sent envoys to celebrate the new emperor's birthday to show respect and sincerity to the new emperor.
Because the Dalong Dynasty was a powerful and prosperous country, there were quite a few small affiliated countries that depended on Dalong. Qu Qingju looked at the customs of these affiliated countries and paid tribute to Dalong in recent years. In an instant, Dalong was very strong. Very bullshit feeling.
What makes Qu Qingju interesting is that there is a place called Jing Kingdom among these dependent countries. The current king of this country is a queen, and it is her sons and daughters who come to pay tribute to Dalong this time. The reason for the two of them to come is to let He Heng decree to choose one of them as the heir to the throne, and to express Jing Kingdom's loyalty to Dalong with this attitude.
This feeling of coming from all directions to congratulate you on coming to Korea is really refreshing.
When He Heng returned to the apse, he saw that Qu Qingju was still looking at the documents of the affiliated countries, and when he got closer, he saw that she was looking at some customs of the Jing country, and asked, "What's so special about this Jing country?"
Qu Qing Ju raised the paper in her hand: "I heard that the Princess Protector of Jing Kingdom has a stunning appearance. This time she comes to our Dalong. I don't know how many men she will be fascinated by."
"It's just that the people of Jing country are self-righteous," He Heng said with disapproval, "Jing country is high, so most people have dark skin, how can they be beautiful? Compared to my Dalong woman, I don't know how much worse, but It's just spreading rumors and fooling people who don't know."
Qu Qing Ju twitched the corners of her mouth. It seemed that the men of the Dalong Dynasty really preferred fair-skinned women. He Heng had such an attitude, it seemed... quite normal.
"Why, don't you like this princess?" He Heng thought that Qu Qing Ju was worried that he would like this Princess Jing, so he said, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in other women, not to mention this Princess Protector wants to It's the queen, not the concubine of our Dalong."
Qu Qing Ju put aside Jing Guo's information and cut it out: "Your Majesty, you think too much."
"Well, I think too much, don't be annoyed." He Heng smiled softly and picked up another stack of documents, "These dependent countries don't need to spend too much thought, such as this Duohan Kingdom, don't look at these years of honesty, a hundred years. In the past, they used to be bandits to the north of my Dalong and hurt my people, and in the end they were scared by my Dalong beating, and when they were timid, they obediently called themselves ministers."
Will you be beaten if you don't obey
Qu Qing Ju understood Dalong Dynasty's attitude towards these affiliated countries, the main idea is that you have to be more obedient to Lao Tzu, otherwise I will beat you all over the place.
"I just looked through it because I was bored," Qu Qing Ju pinched the back of her neck, "Our Dalong is really good."
He Heng smiled: "If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This is a lesson the previous dynasty taught us." He Heng stretched out his hand and squeezed lightly behind her neck, "However, did Qing Ju forget something that she promised me? ?"
"What's the matter?" Qu Qing Ju raised her eyebrows. She felt that she had a good memory recently, and she hadn't been pregnant for three years.
"For example... you once said that you wanted to show me dancing," He Heng stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around the soft waist, "I often wonder what Qing Ju's dancing looks like."
"Then I told you to watch your performance." Qu Qing Ju raised her lips and smiled, seeing He Heng's disappointed look, she said with a smile, "Okay, for the sake of your recent obedience, three days later Just let you see it, and honestly wait for this palace."
He Heng looked at her eyes that suddenly became more radiant, and all the disappointment turned into a smile, "Thank you for the grace of the Empress."
"What are these?" In the evening, Mujin saw that a palace maid came out with a stack of paper in her hand, and there were ink marks on it. She was worried that the palace maid had taken out the things that should not have been taken out, so she reached out and took the papers. I glanced at it casually, and saw what was written on it, saying that Princess Huguo is beautiful and good at dancing, and frowned, "Who told you to clean up?"
"Sister Mujin, this is what the mother-in-law asked her servants to clean up," the palace maid answered honestly.
Seeing that the palace maid was young, Mujin looked quite clever, and shredded the things in her hand into a ball, "Take it and burn it, there are some useless things left and right." No matter what it is, as long as it comes from the mother She likes to let the people below clean it up.
"Yes," the little palace maid took the paper ball as she said, carefully holding it in her hand and hurriedly retreating, apparently in a hurry to burn these things.
"It's still a little tender." Mujin sighed, and she was still clever, but her methods of doing things were not mature enough, and she needed more grinding.
When she entered the room and saw that the Queen's concubine was lowering her waist after practicing, she stepped forward as usual and said, "Niangniang, the maid and Jinzhan have already selected the fabric. Jinzhan's craftsmanship is better than that of the maid, so she and the hosta made the clothes together. What do you want? The slaves and servants are also ready, do you want to take a look?"
"I don't need to worry about it again," Qu Qing Ju said with a smile, "You just need to arrange the west side hall according to my instructions before tomorrow night."
"The servant understands," Mujin didn't ask the Empress why she prepared these things. As a servant, she knew her position very well and knew what to say and what not to say.
Qu Qing Ju returned to her standing position, instead of sitting down immediately, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Let some water come in, I want to take a bath."
After Mu Jinli exited, Qu Qing Ju walked to the window and looked at the plane trees outside, and sighed. It had been almost two months since He Heng was drunk, and whenever she thought of He Heng's aggrieved expression, she wondered if she had treated He Heng coldly.
But she is a person who is more rational than emotional, making her irrational to treat a man, this is not in line with her style, all she can do is when the other party treats her well, she also treats the other party well; if the other party is ruthless, then she also I won't be cheap to please, no matter who is gone in this world, the sun will rise as usual.
Autumn days and nights were as cold as water, but the moon was extraordinarily bright. He Heng hurried back to the apse after finishing his political affairs. After all, he was still thinking about Qu Qing Ju's promise to dance, but when he arrived at the apse, he only fluttered. After a while, Qu Qing Ju did not even see the shadow of Qu Qing Ju.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother invites you to the west hall of Kuiyuan Palace." Yin Liu, holding a beautiful lantern, stood at the door and bowed his knees, "Please."
He Heng was not annoyed, but followed Yin Liu in a very good mood. The Kuiyuan Palace in the apse was not far away, but what surprised He Heng was that the road was extremely bleak. The only thing that stood out was Yin Liu's hand The beautiful woman on the lantern was dressed in red and wanted to fly.
When he arrived at Kuiyuan Palace, He Heng saw that the West Hall with the door closed was brightly lit, and there were two palace maids guarding the door. Apart from these, he couldn't see anything.
Qian Changxin and others who followed behind He Heng were curious, what kind of mystery is the Empress playing
"Your Majesty, please." Yin Liu smiled and led people to the West Hall, and looked back at Qian Changxin and the others behind him.
"You are all waiting outside, you are not allowed to come in without my will," He Heng waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for Yin Liu to lead the way, and walked directly to the gate of the palace. After seeing the two palace ladies who were guarding the gate salute him, he retreated. Going down, the curiosity in my heart became more obvious. I wonder what kind of dance the queen will perform for herself
He took a breath, stretched out his hand and slowly pushed open the door of the hall, only to see the gauze curtains fluttering in the hall, in the pervading heat, like a fairyland. But all of this is not the most attractive, what makes him unable to take his eyes away is the white jade pond with countless lotus lanterns floating on the water, there is a large flower platform floating there, and in the middle of the flower platform, is lying on the side of a Qingdai Beauty in red dress.
☆、111 · Pian Ruo Jinghong
Suddenly, the candles around the West Hall suddenly went out, and only the light of the night pearl on the lotus platform floating on the hot spring and the blossoming lanterns reflected on the water surface, as if only the woman on the flower platform existed between heaven and earth.
When the soft guqin melody sounded, the people on the flower platform moved. The red sleeves of water seemed to open the night, swaying like water waves in the air. The flower platform trembled slightly. It seems that what you stand on is not a swaying flower stand floating on the water, but a down-to-earth one.
The bells on the fair-skinned ankles jingled in the dark night, like the sounds of nature knocking into the soul, knocking again and again for He Heng to appreciate.
Qu Qing Ju was wearing a red dress, which was pure vermilion. There were no gold ornaments or jade pendants. Except for a string of silver bells on her ankles, she had no ornaments on her body. The veil in the room also blew the hem of the scarlet skirt. The soft waist suddenly paused, flipped backwards, the red water sleeves opened an arc in the air, and in a blink of an eye, the person reclined on the flower table, and the red petals slowly fell, falling on the white air. The surface of the water is a little charming for the stunning dance.
At some point, a pipa was already held in Qu Qingju's hand, she slowly got up, her right foot was hooked up a little bit, her fingertips were slightly fiddling, her neck was slightly raised, like a fairy who was about to fly away, her face was clearly hanging. With a moving smile, it makes people afraid that she will leave suddenly.
He Heng couldn't help but take two steps forward, but saw Qu Qingju's eyes wandering, dancing and playing the pipa. After the song was over, a red ribbon suddenly fell from above. With a kick, it flew out from the flower bed in the rain of flowers.
"Qing Ju!" He Heng lifted the layers of veils, and after seeing the smiling man lying on his side on the couch, his heart skipped a beat, and he murmured, "The ancients' cloud and wind blowing the fairy robes are fluttering. It's like a dance in colorful clothes, and it's only today that I know how beautiful it is."
Qu Qing Ju turned around and changed to sit on the couch.
"One dance is all over the city," He Heng walked to the bed, stretched out his hand and pulled the white jade hairpin from her hair, and said in a hoarse voice, "With this beautiful woman, what else do you want from this husband?"
When the wind picked up, Luo Xiu moved slightly, as if it also touched He Heng's heart. He couldn't help but step forward and take the person into his arms. With such a beautiful moonlight, he was already in a state of turmoil. see other things.
The servants were all waiting around Kuiyuan Palace. No one knew what happened in Kuiyuan Palace. Some of the palace servants who danced with Qu Qingju also all withdrew when Qu Qingju finished dancing. For a moment, it also closed the empress's lingering night.
The moon is still the same, and the people are the same, but for the Hibiscus group waiting outside, the emperor has not left the West Hall now, which means that the emperor will not come out before dawn tomorrow morning.
Mujin looked back at the west hall, not to mention the emperor, even she, who was also a woman, was dumbfounded when she saw the empress put on the red dance clothes.
Perhaps, there are women in this world who don't necessarily have the beauty of the world, but they have the ability to charm people's hearts, just like the empress.
When Qu Qingju woke up in the morning, the sky had begun to turn white. She looked at the man beside her who was holding her in her arms, stretched out her hand to remove the hair in front of her forehead, and when her eyes met, she realized that the man had already woken up, his eyes widened. Incredibly gentle.
"Awake?" He Heng stretched out his hand and gently followed Qu Qingju's hair, and said with a chuckle, "Call someone in to serve you?"
Qu Qing Ju yawned, looked out the window through the layers of gauze, and laid her head lazily on He Heng's chest: "I don't want to get up."
"The beauty is in my arms, and I don't want to get up either," He Heng's hand slid lightly on Qu Qingju's back, and sighed unwillingly, "I
