Chapter 42: Behind Closed Doors
Yu Shumo was resting in the main hall, and he had been chatting with Xu Yi for a long time before he saw Yan Xiling come back. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yu Shumo leaned back on the rosewood chair and quipped: "Xiling, you've been there for a long time, wait a minute, and you will have a treat when you go to Yichun Courtyard." ”
Yan Xiling took the tea brought by the maid next to her: "The first thing I thought about when I came to the capital was Yichun Tower, which was still the same. ”
Yu Shumo patted him on the shoulder: "You don't pretend to be serious for me." ”
Putting down the cup in his hand, Yan Xiling said, "I just said how old you are, you should also have a family." ”
Yu Shumo is not young this year, two years older than Yan Xiling, twenty-five.
"Wait until your son is born." Yu Shumo glanced at him, he was on the frontier this year, fighting every day, he hadn't seen or touched a woman for a year, how could he get married?
Besides, how can a husband start a family first in order to start a business? The Yu family's family motto: Career first, loyalty to the monarch, first the world and private self.
So this is the reason why the Yu family has been civil officials for generations, civil officials can be promoted as long as they wait for the day, and military generals need to guard the frontier all the year round, whether they can establish a career is one thing, even if they come back, it will be decades later.
Yu Shumo was lucky, and he was recalled to the capital in a year.
Yan Xiling sneered: "Then I estimate that you will be able to start a family next year." ”
Yu Shumo couldn't help laughing: "You won't go to every courtyard tonight to toss around, I said Yan Xiling, even if you are so like me to get married, you don't have to work so hard, why do you have to go to Yichun Courtyard tonight......"
Yan Xiling smiled and said, "Believe it or not, all the young ladies in Yichun Courtyard will crowd into your room today, so that you won't be able to get out this week." ”
The corners of Yu Shumo's mouth twitched, Yan Xiling really did what she said.
He used to provoke him, he laughed like this, but every time he laughed like this, he didn't end well, either he was caught and beaten by him, or Miss Yichun Yuan blocked his room and didn't let him come out.
"That's still it......" Yu Shumo muttered.
"Lord Wang, who is here?" The curtain on the side of the main hall was lifted, and a woman approached from the side.
Liu Ruyan happened to be passing by the main hall, and he heard the sound inside, and remembered that there seemed to be a general entering the city today, so he came to take a look.
She protected her stomach, and after three months, her stomach still didn't show any ups and downs, and her lower abdomen was still very flat.
"The concubine is pregnant, so it's inconvenient to ask the general for peace." Liu Ruyan covered her stomach and said half-saluted.
Yu Shumo glanced at her twice, noticed the phoenix hairpin on her head, and then understood that this was Yan Xiling's concubine.
"The princess doesn't have to salute."
"Lord Wang, just now the concubine warmed up a bowl of chicken soup, wait a minute, will you put it in your room?" Liu Ruyan lowered her eyebrows and said.
Yan Xiling touched her head: "I guess I'll come back late tonight, so you don't have to wait for me, just go to bed." ”
"But the prince," Liu Ruyan said softly, "today you said that you would accompany your concubine at night." ”
Yan Xiling said: "I'll accompany you tomorrow, there is something to do tonight." ”
Liu Ruyan heard it at the door just now, she didn't know where Yichun Courtyard was? The largest green building in the capital, the land of fireworks, the sun and song lights are red and green, not to mention the rich people in the capital, even the emperor has been there.
Liu Ruyan was also afraid that Yan Xiling would be unwilling, so she went back to Qiu Siyuan very happily, and said to Qingchi beside her under the quilt: "Don't leave the light for the prince tonight, just lock the door in the courtyard and sleep." ”
Qingchi asked, "Master, what happened?" ”
Liu Ruyan sullenly told Qingchi what had just happened.
Qingchi is her maid in marriage, although she is a maid, she is sensitive, and she is usually a little arrogant, but many times she gives advice to Liu Ruyan.
Qingchi said: "Master, you are a little petty, and it is necessary for the prince to go out tonight, so don't be angry." ”
"But ......," Liu Ruyan said, "He clearly said that he would accompany me at night, I don't care, just lock the door today." ”
Qingchi patted his head, and the young lady was a little brainless about some things.
In the evening, Yan Xiling and Yu Shumo drank some wine outside and went to Yichun Courtyard.
Yu Shumo leaned on Yan Xiling's side a little drunk and said, "I said Yan Xiling, why am you not drunk when I'm a little drunk?" ”
That's a good question, the two of them actually drank about the same amount of alcohol, but as soon as Yu Shumo got the wine, he was the same as in the frontier, and Yan Xiling had already eaten a cup as soon as he took a sip.
Yan Xiling: "......"
The ancient wine was not as much water as it is now, it was pure wheat burning, and Yu Shumo had a few cups of stomach like this.
In Yichun Courtyard, the old bustard saw the two of them and said respectfully: "What kind of wind has blown Yu Gongzi and Yan Gongzi over, please two upstairs." ”
Speaking of which, Yan Xiling and Yu Shumo were really frequent visitors to Yichun Courtyard in the past.
………………
In the middle of the night, Yan Xiling carried Yu Shumo back to the palace.
He handed Yu Shumo to a maid beside him, and the maid helped Yu Shumo to the guest room on the side.
He remembered that he wanted to accompany Liu Ruyan at night, so he went to the study to wash off the smell of rouge and gouache and went to Qiu Siyuan.
This time, the lights of Qiu Siyuan were dark.
Yan'er was really angry with him.
Maybe he didn't do what he said, he thought that Yu Shumo would only arrive in the capital tomorrow, but he didn't expect the speed to be so fast, and he arrived a day earlier.
He was a little bored, he rubbed his temples, and was about to go back, but unfortunately, he met Huaiyang Er.
Huai Yang Er was holding a small lantern in her hand, emitting a slight fluorescence, wearing a thin light veil on her body, and she exclaimed with light makeup on her face and said, "Lord Wang, why are you at the door?" ”
Yan Xiling shook her head and said, "It's so late, what are you doing when you come out?" ”
Huai Yang Er pursed her lips and smiled: "I heard that the moon is very round today, so the concubine will come out for a walk, and besides, the concubine has the habit of taking a walk at night." ”
"That's right." Yan Xiling muttered, raised his head, the moon in the sky was really round.
Huai Yang Er thought for a while and said: "The prince might as well go to the courtyard of the concubine to admire the moon, today someone just gave the concubine a box of good tea, and the concubine's tea art has been a little longer in recent days, I want to ask the prince to try whether the tea made by the concubine is delicious." ”
"Let's go to your side." Yan Xiling approached Huaiyang Er and asked if there was a fragrance on her body, this smell was really good.
Huai Yang Er took his hand and said: "Then the prince will go, the incense in the account room is used up today, and the concubine has changed the incense, I don't know if the prince likes it or not." ”
Yan Xiling snorted, not noticing what she said at all.
