"In fact, there is no need to choose between 'son-in-law' and 'jealous woman'." After dinner, while holding hands and walking in Pu Xiuyuan, Shui Xiao asked Yuan Chun, "Why did you agree to your father?" ”

The people waiting were all far behind, and Yuan Chun spoke with confidence: "My father said that, can I still not agree?" Besides, you didn't say you couldn't say yes! You just say don't say yes easily! At this point, she remembered, "Why don't you say yes so easily?" ”

"So, didn't you really agree?" Shui Xiao first glared at her, then laughed again, and said softly, "If you promise too easily, my father will feel too false!" ”

"What do you mean by glaring at me? Didn't I really agree, you're still not happy? ”

Shui Xiao smiled, took her hand, put it on her lips and kissed it gently: "How come?" I was just a little surprised. I didn't expect Yuan Yuan to be so keen, this delaying tactic was used well! ”

Yuan Chun laughed: That's!

"Did you guess anything with this delaying tactic?" He asked with a smile as he looked sideways at her face.

Yuan Chun nodded slightly: "I'm thinking about what is the intention of my father?" There is no need to choose between 'son-in-law' and 'jealous woman' in this question, but my father seems to be bent on me sacrificing myself to fulfill your reputation, and I guess my father may want to test me. My father already knew what kind of person Jia Yingzhou was, but he didn't know what kind of person Princess Zhaohui was, so he might want to test me! And my father chose to test me today, firstly, because this matter is imminent, and a consensus must be reached as soon as possible; The second is that my father does not want to give us the opportunity to discuss this matter. ”

Shui Xiao nodded: "No matter what your background is, since you are married to me, my father hopes that you can be a virtuous lady who puts her husband first, and he wants to see how far you can sacrifice for me......"

Oh, yes! Yuan Chun felt a little emotional in his heart.

She remembered the story of Niu Lang and the Weaver Girl. Even if he is a fairy, and her husband is just a herd. The men of this era also hope that this immortal can serve the cowherd as an ancestor, right?!

Men in the age of patriarchy! The inferior nature that cannot be changed has soaked into the soul of the idea of male superiority and inferiority.

In such a comparison, Shui Xiao is really rare - of course, there is also his own credit for brainwashing him for many years.

"You just said: You don't have to choose between 'son-in-law' and 'jealous woman', do you have any other way?" Shui Xiao turned his head to look at her, "Tell me about it?" Let's discuss whether it is feasible or not. ”

"Isn't the prince? When I saw that the prince came to pick me up, his expression was very relaxed! Things should be settled? ”

Yuan Chun thought of the classic passage in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", in which Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang wrote a fire character in the palm of their hands at the same time: "It's a pity that there is no pen and ink here, otherwise we can write the method in the palm of our hands at the same time, and we can see if our thoughts are the same." ”

"That's a fun idea!" Shui Xiao smiled, "But why bother with pen and ink? ”

He broke off two branches from the flower tree next to him and handed one to Yuan Chun: "We are back to back, written on this ground, isn't it the same?" ”

Yuan Chun thinks: This method is good! He took a branch, squatted down, and wrote the word "fate" on the ground.

After she stood up, when she looked at the words written by Shui Xiao, it was also the word "fate"! And Shui Xiao also saw the words she wrote!

The two looked at each other and smiled, both of them had a sense of heart-to-heart, and they felt extremely close and intimate in an instant.

"Heroes see the same thing!" Shui Xiao tossed the two branches aside and regained his grip on Yuan Chun's hand.

Shui Xiao said: "As for how to explain this, I made up the story when I was in Jiangnan. Let's just say that I met a one-eyed Taoist priest in Jiangnan, and he said that I saved countless people in Jiangnan, and he came to give me a few words as a thank you gift. The one-eyed Taoist priest said, "In this life, I have a conflict with the Yin people, except for my own wife and mother, if I am a little closer to other women, I will be riddled with diseases and everything will not go well." If I dare to take concubines, dare to accept rooms, and dare to have skin-to-skin relations with women outside my wife's room, I will have a disaster of blood and light, and even my life will not be guaranteed. If I want to have a safe and smooth life, I must marry a noble man who was born on the New Year's Day. Therefore, after returning from Jiangnan, I told my father the words of this Taoist priest, and my father gave me Yingzhou to marry. Isn't Yingzhou born on New Year's Day? Isn't that the noble man of my life? ”

Whether it was to make Yuan Yuan bear the stigma or make him a laughing stock, it was definitely not what he wanted, and he believed that it was not what Yuan Yuan wanted.

If he can only rely on a woman to sacrifice herself and endure many reproaches and sufferings to complete his reputation, what qualifications does he have to compete for the crown prince? is so incompetent, so morally responsible, and being an emperor is also a faint king.

Yuan Chun thinks: Shui Xiao's story is so well written! not only perfectly embedded her "master's rules" and "heavenly punishment" in it, but also euphemistically explained the reason why he lingered on the sickbed for the previous ten years - the little prince has a large number of palace maids and grandmothers serving closely, how can there be anyone who is not close to women. The things before and after, they are tightly matched, and there are no flaws to be found.

With this statement, Shui Xiao can be justified in cleaning himself, and then yelling at those who want to persuade him to take a concubine: "You want me to die? "Unless the other party has a higher status than him, he can only kowtow and apologize.

Yuan Chun sighed slightly: "This is the best explanation!" But it's not a perfect explanation. Maybe someone will use the topic to play and say that you are a mother or something. Those who are in the know will definitely not keep it a secret for us, and may secretly spread some gossip and rumors, and stir up some right and wrong......"

Shui Xiao shook her hand: "You don't have to worry about this. Since I made it up like this, I naturally thought about all the pros and cons. As long as we have a reasonable explanation, those rumors can only be rumors after all. There may be some impact, but that impact won't hurt our muscles and bones, and it won't stop us. ”

As for the words of Kemu...... Shui Xiao thought to himself: If they say this, they don't mean that they have wronged me! If it weren't for me, how could my mother suffer those sins, how could she die, and how could she have lost her soul?!

He fell silent, and Yuan Chun looked sideways at him.

Seeing that his expression was a little depressed, thinking of the question he had deliberately avoided just now, Yuan Chun knew in his heart: it seemed that in Shui Xiao's heart, the weight of his biological mother was really heavy. In the future, when dealing with the Min family, I have to be more careful.

Min Guiren has a brother-in-law named Min Xiongfei, who is now a Taichang Temple Sicheng, an official of the sixth grade. In addition, Min Guiren also has a younger brother who donated an official, but he did not hold a real position.

Min Xiongfei looked at the official and the lowly position, but in fact, it was Shui Xiao's deliberate preservation of his achievements. It's safer to stay in that position.

After a while, Yuan Chun saw that Shui Xiao was still immersed in his own mind, so he tilted his head to look at him and joked with him: "In this matter, there is actually a better way - why don't you sacrifice a little of your reputation to say that you are not strong, and you have wronged your wife, and you can't bear to harm other women anymore?" ”

The water is jaw-dropping.

Yuan Chun laughed.

Shui Xiao came back to his senses and figured out that Yuan Chun was joking. He gritted his teeth and squeezed hard, pressing Yuan Chun into his arms heavily: "It seems that Yuan Yuan's 'work injury' has been cured!" Don't worry, tonight, my husband will behave well and won't disappoint Yuanyuan! ”

His gritted teeth and gloomy tone made Yuan Chun feel that he was looking for death.

Alas...... It seems that men in all eras are the same: they can endure everything, but they don't all endure others doubting their ability in some way!

"Alas...... Just kidding! Don't be so stingy! Yuan Chun hurriedly confessed himself, but his nature was unbearable, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and added, "Of course I can't really want to explain it like this!" If I explain it this way, when I have a child in the future, I won't be able to get rid of the suspicion of 'red apricots out of the wall'......"

As soon as she finished speaking, her mouth was sealed by his lips.

In an instant, the surroundings fell silent, and only the sound of the two exchanging saliva sounded from time to time.

After a long while, Shui Xiao let go of her with a pant, took her hand and walked back: "Let's go back!" ”

Yuan Chun didn't leave: "My 'work injury' is really not good yet!" ”

"I'll check it out for you!" Shui Xiao relied on his height and strength, and a princess picked up Yuan Chun and strode towards the main room.

Yuan Chun was startled, and hurriedly hooked Shui Xiao's neck: Forehead drops! Actually a princess hug!

The teaching activity of "Art in the Room" was once again carried out in the new house. Fortunately, Shui Xiao was considerate of the master tonight, and only reviewed the old homework once, and did not ask for new content.

Yuan Chun has to admit: Shui Xiao is a good student, not only has a good memory, but also can draw inferences. Not only can he slowly become proficient and use the things she has taught, but he can also learn some things she hasn't taught!

There's a future! She gave Shui Xiao a thumbs up!

At the same time, she also gave herself a thumbs up: she is really professional! During the period of recuperation from "work injury", you can also bring "injury" to battle, and you perform so well!

After rinsing, lying side by side on the bed, Shui Xiao took one of her hands, put it on the lips and kissed it, and asked her softly: "If there is no other solution, will you really bear the name of 'jealous woman' for me?" ”

Yuan Chun looked at him, and felt a little strange in his heart: Classmate Shui Xiao, is this asking for "sweet words"? Isn't sweet talk used by boys to coax girls? What do you think of his expression, he actually wants me to coax him with sweet words?!

She felt a little upside down in her heart.

All right! In marriage, no matter who says the sweet words, it's good for two people to be happy!

She half sat and half knelt on the bed, one elbow on his shoulder, and the other hand condescendingly stretched out a finger, hooked Shui Xiao's chin lightly, and the merry boy teased the woman of the good family: "Don't worry, little beauty!" If there is no other solution, I must bear the name of this 'jealous woman' as a wife, and I will not let you suffer the slightest grievance!" ”

After saying that, she regretted it again: it's over! I seem to have turned the confession moment of a very emotional literary film into a counter-flirtatious scene in a vulgar comedy film!

Shui Xiao's face suddenly became extremely strange, his cheeks flushed, and his eyes fluttered - this was not the first time he had experienced such a flirtatious scene.

He coughed and said, "Don't make trouble!" Let's talk well! His gaze slipped to her, "Can you still ...... Continue to bring 'injuries' into battle? ”

Yuan Chun also coughed, returned to his serious appearance, and half-lay back to his position. "No more! I'm just kidding! ”

The flush on Shui Xiao's face faded, and he looked at her and smiled, and after a while he said, "I found one thing: as soon as you are shy, you will start to be funny!" The daughter's family is shy, shouldn't she cover her face with a handkerchief, and then turn her head and leave? Or keep your head down and keep pulling the handkerchief in your hand? ”

Yuan Chun's eyebrows raised: "Have you ever seen a daughter cover her face with a handkerchief, turn her head and leave?" "Which little girl have you made so shy," who is the one with her head down and her handkerchief in her hand? "How many little girls are shy about you?

She really felt a little bit of a taste in her heart: she observed it very carefully! Shui Xiao? In a few words, the shy appearance of the little girl is described so vividly!

"It's all my cousin!" Shui Xiao blinked, looking innocent, "Every time she can't say three words to me, that's what she looks like." ”

Yuan Chun pondered in his heart: Queen Shen's maiden family is all in the Gusu area. The cousin that Shui Xiao said should be a relative of his biological mother, Min Guiren's mother.

"How many cousins do you have? What are their names? How old is it? Yuan Chun asked.

"Three. The eldest one is called Min Rou, who seems to be two or three years younger than you; The one in the middle is called Min Zhen, who is in her teens, and the younger one is the same year as Ying'er......" Shui Xiao said something about the cousin of the Min family and the Min family.

Yuan Chun listened to what he said, and felt that although Shui Xiao had no intention of his cousin, his cousin and the people of his cousin's family were obviously interested in him.

I want to kiss and kiss, and let Min Rou be a side concubine or something for Shui Xiao?

I'm sorry, you're going to be disappointed!

————————

In the palace at this time, Emperor Longzheng was resting on Empress Shen's lap and said to Empress Shen: "Alas...... I still think that Seventeen cares too much about Jia Yingzhou! There are some signs of sluggishness! He thought: This is not a good thing!

Empress Shen smiled and gave him a massage, and said: "Jia Yingzhou has the grace to save his life for Seventeen, and he has such a character and medical skills, and Seventeen cares a little more, which is also human nature." After a pause, he persuaded him euphemistically, "I looked at it coldly, Jia Yingzhou seemed to have a temperament that eats soft rather than hard." I don't know if it's right or wrong? ”

Emperor Longzheng gave her a thumbs up: "You said it very well! That girl, her nature is still pure and kind, and she has always said that she needs to cultivate virtue, and I am still relieved of her character. Although she had excuses today, she finally agreed, and she thought that she was also sincere to Seventeen. It's just that she has always been a little cold and self-controlled, and I'm afraid that it will take some effort to dig out her heart and lungs for Seventeen. In addition, today she refuses to sacrifice innocent women to live as widows; I don't think I will sacrifice the person next to the pillow on another day, which is a good thing for Jiangshan Sheji and Seventeen......"

He hoped that today's incident would move Jia Yingzhou and be better for Seventeen.

Empress Shen smiled and said, "Those two children are extremely smart people, and they won't be stupid!" The emperor doesn't have to worry too much. ”

Emperor Longzheng sighed: "I only hope that Jia Yingzhou can give birth to a son soon!" In this way, many things will be clear! ”

————————

Yuan Chun three dynasties back to the door.

Shui Xiao took the opportunity of playing chess with Dai Shan to have a secret conversation with Dai Shan.

Mrs. Wang also dismissed everyone and asked Yuan Chun: "Is the prince treating you well?" ”

"Good! Very good! Yuan Chun replied without being empty at all.

"It's good!" Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Then you have to hurry up and give birth to a son!" Heirs are a big deal, and you must not take it lightly! ”

Yuan Chun almost burst into tears.

I've only been married for two weeks, and I've been born by my mother-in-law and my own mother successively.

She also told Mrs. Wang the story of "Taoist Priest Dialing" made up by Shui Xiao: "If others don't ask, Mrs. Don't mention these words, I have my own opinions with the prince." If your wife is squeezed too much, tell them this directly, lest the long-tongued women be verbose! ”

Mrs. Wang was even happier: "It's best to say this!" I'm worried these days, thinking about how to answer if someone asks. I wanted to tell you a word today, so that you can ask the prince for an idea-since you have already thought of a statement, it couldn't be better! ”

After returning to the door, Yuan Chun met with the people of Zhaohui Palace, sent a bunch of rewards, and said a bunch of kind words.

Shui Xiao has half a month's marriage leave, so during this time, she is tired of being with Yuan Chun every day.

In addition to "bed knock", he successively taught Yuan Chun various new skills such as wall knock, door knock, chair knock, etc., and the art in the room improved by leaps and bounds.

Soon after the wedding, the Dragon Boat Festival arrived.

As the new housewife of Prince Zhaohui's mansion, Motoharu needs to deal with matters such as receiving and giving gifts.

Fortunately, the chief historian of the palace is very capable, and Mingse, the head of the palace, is also very conscientious and has helped Yuan Chun a lot.

Yuan Chun's job is basically to glance at various lists and say, "Well, that's it!" Of course, if she wants to find a little sense of existence, she can also pick out a little thorn and let the chief historian and Mingse change it. But Yuan Chun is really not the kind of person who has nothing to do.

Shui Xiao's marriage leave has not yet ended, the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, Yuan Chun asked him to make zongzi with him: "Wrap it yourself, eat it yourself, that's interesting!" How many do these girls and cooks pack? What's the fun of eating and being full? ”

"I'm not going to pack this! What should I do if I get stuffed? For this matter, Shui Xiao refused at first.

"Who is born with it?" Yuan Chun didn't give up and said, "Come on! Try? ”

Shui Xiao stood with a smile and refused to participate: "I'll look at your bag!" ”

Yuan Chun no longer forced him, so he asked someone to bring up all the things that were wrapped in zongzi, and asked Qiu Ningshuang and others to pack them too: "Everyone has made a mark, and they eat what they wrap themselves!" I don't have to eat if I don't pack it! ”

Shui Xiao was still unmoved, smiling and sitting next to him to watch the battle, sipping tea leisurely. He didn't believe anyone who dared to eat his dumplings short.

Yuanchun is actually not good at packing, he learned from the chef, and he didn't wrap it very well at the beginning. First, she didn't want the zongzi she wrapped for the first time to be too ugly, and second, she wanted to seduce Shui Xiao to participate, so she kept wrapping and dismantling, dismantling and wrapping, and she was always dissatisfied. Qiu Ningshuang and others have already wrapped seven or eight, and she is still struggling for the first zongzi she has made.

Shui Xiao looked interesting on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was anxious for Yuan Chun, so he finally couldn't sit still, rolled up his sleeves, washed his hands, and went into battle: "I didn't expect Yingzhou to be so clumsy!" Look at me! ”

His hands-on ability is very strong, and he has learned it long ago after watching it attentively for so long. Although the first zongzi is not very good-looking, it is much more efficient than Yuanchun!

Yuan Chun secretly snickered, and also sped up his speed.

Shui Xiao naturally quickly saw the clue, and couldn't help but lean into her ear, laughing and scolding in a low voice: "Little goblin! Cunning enough! ”

When eating zongzi, Shui Xiao wants to eat Yuanchun's zongzi and let Yuanchun eat his zongzi.

Yuan Chun said unconvinced: "Why? Obviously said yes, whoever wraps the zongzi will eat it! The dumplings you wrapped are so ugly, I can't eat them! ”

"Nonsense!" Shui Xiao Zhengse said, "The zongzi I wrapped are obviously better than yours." ”

Yuan Chun directly expressed his refusal with his actions, sandwiched a piece of zongzi he wrapped, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Shui Xiao glared angrily: "Okay! You actually snatched my zongzi to eat! ”

Yuan Chun shook his head proudly at Shui Xiao as he chewed. Meaning: What can you do to me?

The corners of Shui Xiao's mouth raised a wicked smile: "I'm going to snatch my zongzi back." ”

He put down his chopsticks, grabbed Yuan Chun's head with one hand, and kissed Yuan Chun's mouth deeply. Taking advantage of Yuan Chun's stunned moment, he opened Yuan Chun's lips with his tongue and snatched back a little zongzi from her mouth.

He chewed proudly and exclaimed, "It's really delicious!" ”

swallowed the zongzi in his mouth, but Shui Xiao seemed to be addicted to playing, and said with a smile: "I robbed Yingzhou's zongzi, and I will give you a sip of the bar!" ”

He took a sip of realgar wine, put it in his mouth, kissed Yuan Chun's lips again, and crossed the wine into Yuan Chun's mouth.

Yuan Chun had only one thought in his mind: Emma, this picture ...... It's just dirty! For the study of "the art in the room", Shui Xiao is really talented!

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, there was a palace banquet in the palace.

Shui Xiao and Yuan Chun dressed up neatly and entered the palace for a banquet together.

This is a family banquet of the emperor's family, which includes the emperor and queen, harem concubines and kings, princesses, princesses, princesses, eldest princesses and their concubines.

The location of the family banquet is in Yihe Palace, where the male guests are in one place and the female relatives are in one place, but they are not far away.

This is the first time that Yuan Chun has participated in the palace banquet as a princess, but he is no stranger to these maidens, aunts, concubines, eldest sisters, etc. - either they have dealt with the palace before, or they have been out of the palace for several years, and they have been invited to various mansions to check the pulse.

In addition, her skin is very thick, and she is not at all shy as a bride should be, so after she arrived at the palace banquet, although she was teased by everyone, she did not feel embarrassed or cramped.

She bowed generously, and made fun of her when she should have gone back, and she didn't suffer a loss!

After three rounds of drinking, Princess Yizhong suddenly stood up and said to the queen: "Queen Mother, the sons and daughters are going to complain on behalf of the seventeenth brother and the seventeenth brother and sister!" The seventeenth brother was sick before, and there was no intimate person in the house to wait. Now that the seventeenth brother and sister have passed the door, and the seventeenth brother is fine, why is he still so lonely around him? Not to mention the side concubine, there is not even a lady, and it looks too unseemly. It is better to take advantage of this festival and give two people to the seventeenth brother, one is to share the worries of the seventeenth brother and sister, and the other is to let the seventeenth brother serve many people. Although the seventeenth brother and sister are talented, how can they be thoughtful in everything? ”

After she finished speaking, she turned around and looked at Yuan Chun with a smile: "Seventeenth brother and sister, you say ...... Isn't that reasonable? ”
