The newlywed Yan'er is in love.

For nearly two months, although Song Chen was busy with government affairs during the day, he came to Wantang Garden every night, even if there was no lingering night, he gently hugged her to sleep, this thoughtfulness actually surprised Chu Xue herself.

In the past few days, she has always been cold, so she is even more uncomfortable, probably because of taking child avoidance medicine one after another, and by the next night, she has a particularly sore back, and she really can't wait for Song Chen to lie down early.

The abdomen was like a snake twisting, she was uncomfortable in her sleep, she was in a fog, and suddenly felt a familiar warmth on her back, and her lower abdomen was immediately covered with warmth, and the spasms inside were immediately relieved. After enjoying it for a while, she turned over comfortably and fell head-on into someone's arms.

A slow snort came to her face, and she paused, opened her eyes, which were still a little blurry, and saw the handsome face.

Song Chen was lying on her side, looking at her gently, and the hand that had just warmed her lower abdomen slid to her lower back as she turned over.

She blinked her misty eyes, looked at him for a while, and then said softly, "When did the prince come?" "Because he had just woken up from his sleep, his questioning was full of nasal voices, and he sounded like a child waiting for someone to take care of him.

"Just came here for a while, how uncomfortable? Did you send a doctor to take a look? Song Chen straightened her forehead hair wet with cold sweat, and her voice became softer.

She smiled and shook her head, "The habitual illness of my daughter's family, how can I use the doctor to see it, the concubine has always been like this, the prince doesn't have to worry, it will be fine in two days." ”

"Then why didn't you let them prepare a soup girl?" He frowned.

"The concubine is not honest when she sleeps, and she can't find the soup when she turns over a few times, and she is still sick when it is cold in the middle of the night." She whispered back as she reached out to caress his furrowed brow.

A smile appeared in his eyes, his warm hand took her fingers, and he lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "Sleep dishonestly?" Why are you so well-behaved in my arms? How about I come to be your soup lady in the future? ”

When only the two of them are alone, he is used to calling himself "I", rather than "this king" in front of others.

She smiled, the corners of her raised mouth were full of sweetness, but she also deliberately said the opposite, "Such a valuable Tang Yuan, the concubine can't afford it." ”

The beauty smiled the most moving, he looked at her for a while, the hand that was caressing her back suddenly increased the force, and without waiting for her to react, he lowered his head and took her lips, sucking gently.

The two were lying next to each other at the moment, kissing and kissing, Chu Xue felt the obvious changes in his body, although through the thin quilt in the summer night, the object against the root of her thigh was already as hard as the handle of a knife. After all, she was still a one-month-old bride, she blushed, and when he finally let go of herself, she said softly: "The concubine has been inconvenient these days, so the prince might as well accompany the princess." ”

"What, you want to drive me away?" He stared at her, but his voice was hoarse.

She was caressing his clothes, knowing that he was on fire at this time, so she deliberately didn't look at his eyes, only looked at his throat, and said softly and slyly, "The concubine doesn't dare, I'm just afraid that the prince will be uncomfortable." ”

He slammed her into his arms again, and waited for her to exclaim in a low voice, and then put it in her ear and teased in a deep voice, "Bear with the discomfort, and leave it to you when you get better." ”

"Lord ......"

The face of the beauty in her arms is even crimson, just like the color of the begonias in the garden outside the window when they bloom in early summer.

The Wantang Garden is full of affection, but the Danwei Garden, where Princess Heng lives, is extraordinarily quiet.

"The prince has passed again today?" Xu Jinhe, who was removing his makeup, looked at the bronze mirror in front of him and asked.

"Yes." Qiuxiang, the personal maid who was removing the hairpin for her, replied.

Inadvertently seeing the coldness on the face of the master in the mirror, Lilac hurriedly comforted, "But the princess doesn't have to worry too much, I heard from the people in Wantang Garden that Mrs. Xue is in the moon these days, and she has not served the prince." ”

Xu Jinhe's gaze froze for a moment, and then it was dyed with a heavier gloom.

"I'm going to ...... when I have a moon"

Lilac shook her hand, and immediately realized that the sentence she added made her master even more unhappy.

In the end, it was the personal maid brought from her mother's house, realizing her master's displeasure, Qiu Xiang immediately moved her hand to Xu Jinhe's temple, pressed it softly, and considered it, "The prince also takes a fancy to her maiden family, and now it is on the rise, and it will definitely not be like this when the freshness is over." ”

"If you go like this night and night, I'm afraid that before the freshness passes, your body will suffer first." Xu Jinhe closed his eyes and sighed.

"But according to the temper of the prince, we can't persuade it...... Otherwise, the princess mentioned that there was a little bit of Wantang Garden? This Snow Lady seems to be a smart person, and she should know something good and bad. ”

The technique of kneading the cloves is soothing, Xu Jinhe didn't say anything, and closed his eyes and enjoyed it for a while: "Tomorrow's Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, and it will be the emperor's birthday in ten days, Concubine Jing must be very busy. ”

Lilac shook her hand, looked at the master in the mirror who closed her eyes and recuperated, and smiled slightly, "Yes." ”

On the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, just after Shen, Princess Heng came to Funing Palace.

After asking for peace, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law gossiped a few words, and Concubine Jing asked casually: "How about the new side concubine, does Ji Ting like it?" ”

Xu Jinhe lowered his eyebrows and smiled gently: "The prince is very fond of her, and it has been two months since she entered the door, and every night has passed." ”

Concubine Jing smiled lightly, took a cup of tea, and took a sip.

Qiu Xiang behind Xu Jinhe waited for an opportunity to interject, "This kind of special pet is really the first time in our palace, I'm afraid that the prince's body will ......."

"Shut up, how can you talk too much in front of the concubine!" Xu Jinhe immediately blocked the maid's words in a low voice.

Qiu Xiang immediately knelt down, lowered her head and said in fear: "Please forgive the mother, the slave and maid are also anxious for the princess to talk more, the princess is worried about the princess, and she is afraid that the princess will be unhappy, so she has been holding it in her heart......"

"And ......"

"That's it, that's it, get up." Concubine Jing raised her hand and interrupted the double reed of the master and servant.

Seeing that Xu Jinhe finally expressed her intentions, Concubine Jing also gave her a step along the way, "Qiu Xiang is also kind, Ji Ting's temper is known to the palace, you have been wronged, go back to the palace and talk about him." ”

Speaking of being a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for more than ten years, although Xu Jinhe's appearance was not enough to respect the concubine's mind at the beginning, but Nian is prominent in her mother's family, and can help her son, plus she has added two grandchildren one after another, and her personality is not bad, and she can't find any shortcomings in her as a mother-in-law.

I haven't seen her complain in the past few years, and that's mostly because she hasn't really encountered any problems. But this time she was able to come to the door to complain, which shows that her son is indeed interested in this new side concubine, which makes her feel a sense of crisis.

Although Concubine Jing is reluctant to meddle in the affairs of her son's house, it is not a good thing if he is really obsessed with women, not to mention that now that the genuine daughter-in-law has come to the door, she naturally wants to apply the family law of the elders.

"It's almost time, let's go to the queen's palace."

Seeing that Xu Jinhe didn't say anything anymore, Concubine Jing got up and ordered.

Xu Jinhe hurriedly stepped forward and personally supported the concubine Jing for the female officials of Funing Palace.

~~

Halfway through the hour, King Heng and his wife, who participated in the palace banquet, returned to the palace.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Chu Xue standing there, and when she saw them getting off the carriage, she immediately stepped forward and saluted, "Concubine waiting for the princess." ”

Before Song Chen could speak, Xu Jinhe helped her up, with a gentle and concerned expression, "Sister Lao has been waiting for a long time, has my sister been able to eat?" ”

"I used it." She replied softly.

As a concubine, she is not qualified to go to the palace banquet with King Heng, so she naturally wants to stay in the mansion, and it just so happens that the other two female dependents of King Heng's mansion did not return to Beijing this time, so this Mid-Autumn Festival night was spent in Wantang Garden with Yanling Ruyue.

"Then, it's not too early, my sister should rest early." When Song Chen was present, Xu Jinhe had always been quite kind and polite to her.

"Yes."

She saluted again and stepped aside for them to go first.

Unexpectedly, I heard Song Chen say to Xu Jinhe, "This king will go to Wantang Garden tonight, and the princess will go back first." ”

Chu Xue was taken aback, you must know that before she got married, she had heard that whenever it was Chinese New Year's Eve, Shangyuan, Mid-Autumn Festival and other important festivals, no matter the royal nobles had to spend the night with their wives.

Just as she was stunned, Xu Jinhe, who was also stunned, reacted first, and immediately softened: "So there is Sister Lao to serve the prince, concubine, send the prince." ”

After speaking, he also bowed properly.

Chu Xue was stunned for a while, and when she met Song Chen's smiling gaze, Fang gave Xu Jinhe an apologetic salute and followed him back to Wantang Garden.

In the dead of night, I could hear the rhino autumn insects chirping in the yard outside the window. In the curtain, Chu Xue pillowed on Song Chen's shoulder, a little distracted, "Lord, you should go to accompany the princess tonight, the concubine can't serve you, you broke the rules for the concubine, it's really ......"

"I can't accompany you to the reunion dinner, this king is ashamed, how can he snub you again tonight? It's the first time I've been in the house for the holidays, are you still adapting?" he interrupted her softly and said his original intention.

The soft words made people's hearts warm, and she nodded, "Well, it's okay, the prince doesn't have to worry about it." ”

The mid-autumn night was cold, he put her in his arms again, and Ren Wen surrounded her before saying, "That's good, go to bed early."

She smiled and buried her head in his chest.

The man's breathing in her ears gradually grew, but she couldn't sleep for a long time. Since she entered the mansion, Xu Jinhe, as the main wife, has been more tolerant than she expected, to be honest, if it were herself, seeing her husband doting on other women so much, she probably wouldn't be able to do this at all.

How can a woman in this world endure this?

Xu Jinhe is so extraordinary, it is really difficult to deal with.

She was a little unsettled.

However, early the next morning, Chu Xue received an edict from the palace, saying that Concubine Jing invited her into the palace to speak. Although she couldn't guess the intention of this summoning, she didn't dare to slack off, cleaned up a little, and immediately entered the palace.

After seeing Concubine Jing and greeting her, she finally understood the purpose of the sudden summons of Funing Palace.

Concubine Jing still had her usual smile, and there was kindness between her words, and she said to her: "Recently, there is a matter here in this palace that has caused a lot of headaches......

She had been worried for a long time, but when she heard such words, she was a little relieved, so she immediately answered sincerely, "The concubine is willing to share her worries for her mother." ”

Concubine Jing smiled, "It's not a big deal, it's best if you have this heart." In a few days it will be the emperor's birthday, but the prayer for the sacrifice has not yet been written, your Chu Mansion is a scholarly family, your words should be good, are you willing to help the palace? ”

She immediately nodded and smiled: "Of course the concubine is willing, but I'm afraid that the handwriting will be too ugly to enter the eyes of the gods." ”

"It doesn't matter, sincerity is spiritual."

Concubine Jing raised her hand as she spoke, and the female official on the side had already taken out the prepared prayer and placed it on the low table beside her.

"As long as fifty articles are enough, you write slowly, and stay for dinner at noon, don't worry." Concubine Jing still had a gentle smile on her face, but the words she said made her heart tremble.

The prayers need to be written carefully one stroke at a time, and they must kneel to show their sincerity, and the number of fifty psalms will probably require her to kneel for two hours.

This is clearly a form of punishment.

Why did the respectable concubine punish her, she thought about it secretly and had some epiphany.

Since entering the palace, the most outrageous thing she has ever done is that Song Chen went to his own Wantang Garden every night, although it was his own idea, but who wants to find fault with his own children when he is a mother in the world?

That's why I want to take her as a scourge, so I will punish her.

Thinking about Xu Jinhe's early entry into the palace yesterday afternoon, she immediately understood.

Although the punishment was in front of her, fortunately, she saw Xu Jinhe's resentment, and she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Thinking clearly before and after, she nodded and replied to the concubine's words, "The concubine is going now, it will be completed today, please rest assured." ”

Concubine Jing was satisfied, and left first, leaving her alone in the side hall and began to kneel and write.

She was already in time for the moon and was weak, and now she has only been kneeling for an hour, and she has a little backache and numbness, but she can't cry out for grievances, otherwise Concubine Jing will really look down on her. Thinking about this clearly, she took out her mental strength to endure a little bit and slowly endured it.

Coincidentally, King Heng stayed in the palace for a while after dispersing the dynasty today, and when he went out of the palace gate, he ran into his own carriage that sent Chu Xue, with Gao Li's reminder, he picked up the curtain and asked, and Yan Ling, who came with Chu Xue, reported the summons of Concubine Jing today.

"When did you come?" He was a little surprised.

The clever Yan Ling immediately deepened the worry on her face a little, and said tremblingly: "Back to the prince, it's been almost an hour and a half." ”

Song Chen frowned, and immediately motioned to the coachman to turn the head of the car and drive towards Funing Palace.
