The atmosphere in the carriage condensed, and Qingtong pondered for a long time before he spoke, and said, "Why don't you send me home directly?" ”

Xu Jing glanced at her lightly, but she didn't hear it. In this way, Qingtong didn't bother to pay attention to him, sat up straight, and cooperated without speaking. waited until the carriage entered the palace, and stopped at the imperial study. Qingtong still followed Xu Jing down and entered the imperial study.

Feng Zuo followed into the house and listened to Xu Jing's instructions. Xu Jing sat down at the desk and said, "If you are tired, fetch some water to serve me and freshen up." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Feng Zuo responded and ordered his little eunuch to fetch water.

Qing Tong stood aside, a little helpless. She didn't know what Xu Jing was doing when she brought her into the palace, so she had to pretend to be a transparent person and stand aside.

When the palace maid and eunuch came in and served Xu Jing to freshen up, she was still standing in the room.

Xu Jing got up and instructed Feng Zuo again: "Fetch some more water, so that Lord Qing can purify his face and spirit together." There are still many things to discuss with the young adults. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Feng Zuo was ordered to go down again.

It's just that this time the water came, and the eunuchs and palace maids were not asked to serve. Qing Tong freshened up by herself, and then let the minions come in and splash water.

Xu Jing has been sitting on the kang since he freshened up, with the crown hair on his head removed, draped casually, and a few books in his hand to read.

When Qingtong finished grooming, his head was not too much, so he only said, "Come and sit." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." In this atmosphere, Qing Tong automatically put himself in the position of a courtier, went to sit down on a chair under the kang, and waited for him to discuss something with him.

Xu Jing raised his hand to look at her at this time, and said lightly: "Come and sit on my side." ”

"Oh." Qing Tong got up again, intending to sit down on the kang opposite him. But before he walked over, he was pulled onto the kang and dragged into his arms.

Qingtong didn't have time to react at all, and Xu Jing's kiss was suppressed. She didn't even have the slightest preparation, so she let him put his hand into his shirt. A burst of affection like a storm made Qing Tong soften most of it, and he twisted his body in his arms and gasped.

"Zhao Yan likes you?" Xu Jing's hand kept moving, gnawing from the lips of the green pupil to his ears, and there was no emotion in his tone.

Because lying on his back was completely passive, Qing Tong could only grab Xu Jing's arm with his backhand and watch his clothes scattered. The white skin gradually flushed red, making the already flushed face even heavier.

Hearing Xu Jing ask Zhao Yan, his brain, which was not very bright at the moment, reacted for a moment before he bit his lower lip, and then said, "Empress Sun and Concubine Kong...... Like you......"

Xu Jing didn't expect her to be able to fight against herself in such a confused state, opened her mouth and bit her earlobe, didn't speak again, and only did what she had endured for more than 20 days......

+++

**Cease.

Qingtong put on her clothes and sat on the edge of the kang to pull her hair. Loosely tied up a ponytail, looking for a headband to tie it at will. But as soon as he tied it, he was pulled down by Xu Jing on the side, and his long hair was scattered.

Xu Jing still took her into his arms, and circled her into the crook of his arm like a kitten, and naturally lost the love he had when he first came back after the fire was extinguished. He didn't speak, as if he was deeply recalling something.

Qing Tong's body was tired and sore, and she squinted when she leaned on his arms, calming her body and mind after the agitation.

At such a moment, mentioning Zhao Yan and then mentioning Concubine Kong is obviously destroying the atmosphere. Zhao Yan hugged her for a while, but still didn't say anything, suddenly hugged her up, and said under the kang: "Go to sleep." ”

Blue Hitomi reached out and hooked his neck to balance his body. His eyes were fixed on him, and he waited until he put himself on the bed before he spoke: "Not angry? "Sure enough, there is no contradiction between men and women that can't be solved?

Xu Jing went to lie down next to her, pulled the quilt, hugged her in his arms as usual, closed his eyes and said softly: "No, I will care when I wake up." ”

Blue Eyes: ......

After shopping at night, I came back and tossed fiercely, my body almost fell apart, and the green pupils were tired and slept deeply. Although I didn't think about getting a bed in this imperial study, I didn't expect to be woken up by the person next to me before I slept until mid-dawn. The hazy drowsiness is still pressed on the eyelids, and the brain is also foggy, but the body is very cooperative and extremely sensitive.

Because it is in a semi-confused state, reason does not control the brain, let alone the body. In the dark, the primitive ** in the body is outlined very smoothly and thoroughly. Following her heart, Qingtong didn't consciously hide a trace of her own needs and desires, and was so relaxed and graceful that Xu Jing couldn't bear it for a few minutes, so she went straight to the point.

The two of them are ** again, forgetful and selfless, more harmonious than last night, and have climbed to the top.

They hugged each other and lay down, covered in sweat, panting and blushing and speechless. Xu Jing hugged her tightly in his arms and whispered in her ear: "Don't leave again." "A plea.

Hearing this, Qing Tong slowly opened his eyes to look at him, and when he also opened his eyes to look at himself, Fang bit his lip and replied in a muffled voice: "Hmm." ”

Xu Jing had tenderness in his eyes, imprinted a pure kiss on her lips, and then raised his hand to remove all the messy hair that was attached to her face, and kissed her on the forehead.

Qingtong's heart was sweet, and she couldn't help but smile at the corners of her mouth. The kiss on his forehead hadn't left yet, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was thick, but he suddenly heard Feng Zuo outside say loudly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Kong sent someone to spread the news, the eldest prince had a high fever in the middle of the night, let the emperor go over and take a look." I don't know, is the emperor awake? ”

The smile on the corner of his mouth froze, and Xu Jing also loosened the kiss on his forehead. He held the face of the green pupil, rubbed his fingers, and said loudly: "If you are sick, you will find a doctor, what is the role of me in the past?" It was late last night, and I can't open my eyes now. ”

"The slave knows." Feng Zuo responded, went over to tell the palace maid who came to pass the word, and said: "The emperor has all the opportunities every day, and he is worried about his work, so you let the mother take care of it first." ”

"Grandpa Xie." The maid of the palace answered and went no longer to stay.

returned to the Zichen Hall where Kong Dai was, and sent a message to the palace maid to tell Kong Dai the truth. Kong Dai didn't have a temper, and while taking care of the eldest prince, he answered: "Got it." "No more words.

And here in the imperial study, Qingtong was about to get up and get dressed after Feng Zuo passed the news. How could Xu Jing hold her all the time and not let her get up. Qingtong had no choice but to lie still, looked at him for a long time, and suddenly said, "We are stealing/love." didn't give Xu Jing a chance to react, she followed up and asked: "Isn't the emperor early in court?" ”

"It's not too early to come." Xu Jing said.

"Doesn't the king reign sooner?" Qingtong smiled very fakely: "Otherwise, the emperor will build a palace for me again." ”

"I'm willing to build, are you willing to go?"

Qing Tong smiled and stopped talking. She buried her head in Xu Jing's chest, but she didn't close her eyes, her eyes were empty.

said so, but in the end, Xu Jing couldn't make the ministers get up early and wait in the palace. But he lay down for a while, got up and got dressed, and still looked like he had not slept all night. Another palace maid fetched water to wash Xu Jing, and the green pupils were still cleaned.

Thinking that there was nothing to do, Qing Tong resigned and returned to his post. Xu Jing didn't stay long, and rewarded her with some snacks for breakfast. Qingtong took the snack and said before leaving: "The emperor should hurry up and see the eldest prince." ”

Xu Jing was stunned when she heard this, but just looked at her.

Qing Tong lowered her head, did not meet his gaze, and retreated out of the imperial study. I went back to the Hanlin Courtyard and put aside the dim sum, but I still went out of the palace by myself and found a small restaurant to sit down and eat. It's hard to chew a mouthful of buns. I always think of Kong Dai and the eldest prince in my mind, and I can't taste the stuffing of buns in my mouth.

After eating the buns, my stomach is full, and I don't want to think about it. After settling the account and entering the palace, he only took care of the affairs of his office, and did not mention anything else. After a short time of being busy in the morning, the eunuch who delivered the decree came to the courtyard. The object of the decree is naturally Qingtong, and it finally makes people envious of her - she has been promoted! From the six-rank Hanlin Academy to the five-grade Hanlin Academy, the position is very different from before.

Qingtong received the holy decree, and her heart was uncontrollable with joy. Everyone else was envious, and she came up to congratulate sincerely or pretendedly, and she accepted it all. When it was Zhou Rui's turn, Qingtong pushed his hand and said, "Brother Zhou, don't ask me to invite me to eat and drink anymore." ”

Zhou Rui's eyes glared like copper bells: "Such a happy event, shouldn't you have a drink to celebrate?" How can you be so stingy when you are promoted? You remember, I gave you an aunt! ”

Qingtong didn't listen to him, and insisted on smiling and said, "No matter what, don't invite me today, let me go home and have a happy event with the old and young in the family." ”

"Cut~" Zhou Rui said that she was not, so she left reluctantly.

On the afternoon of this day, Xu Jing did not come to the Hanlin Academy, and Qingtong was immersed in the joy of his promotion. I brought the snacks I got in the early morning in the imperial study, and I brought such good news, and went home happily.

The servant pulling the horse, and He Sheng followed. Seeing that her red face was just happy, she couldn't help but ask: "What is the master laughing at?" ”

Qingtong didn't smile, straightened his waist, looked ahead, and said, "Master, I've been promoted." ”

He Sheng's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Congratulations!" ”

"How do you celebrate?" Qing Tong asked casually.

He Sheng also smiled, and said without thinking: "Go out to eat and drink, and have a good time." ”

Qingtong heard that this was wrong, so she set her eyes on He Sheng and asked, "Have you forgotten that you still have a wife and children at home?" ”

He Sheng saw that he had said the wrong thing and was picked out again, so he hurriedly changed his tone and said: "I've been with the master for a long time, and it's all a way for the master to celebrate." If you talk about the old and young in the family, it is to change the place, surround the wall in the yard, eat, drink, and have a good time. ”

Qingtong ignored his words, held the master's shelf, and asked the little guy who led the horse: "It's been a while since I came out, and I will report everything I do on weekdays." ”

The little guy tilted his head back slightly, and when he heard He Sheng clear his throat, he said, "It's nothing, but I'm just waiting for the master everywhere." ”

"Where are they?" Qing Tong asked again.

The little guy was sweating on the door of his head, but his mouth was still steady: "Master is going to eat and drink, let's stay outside the restaurant." If you enter the palace, you are guarding outside the palace. I'm afraid that if the master has something, he won't find anyone. ”

"There's no place like a brothel?" Qing Tong said and stretched out her foot and kicked the little guy.

The little guy panicked, led the horse and did not speak. It was He Sheng who hurriedly answered: "The master has taught me a lesson, where do you dare to go to a place like that." ”

Qingtong glanced at him: "It's best not to dare, you both remember, if someone else ventilates me again, you will have no good fruit to eat." ”

He Sheng and Xiao Wu only agreed, and didn't dare to say anything else.

All the way to the house, Qingtong went to Qingyan's small study, He Sheng and Xiaowu went to the stable to tie the horses, and Xiaowu whispered: "The master is not like a joke, if he is caught, I am afraid that there is really no good fruit." At first, he asked me to go out with me, and one of them was to supervise you, big brother, but I didn't have the strength to ......"

"Coaxed by me?" He Sheng tied up the horse and went out of the stable with him.

"It's not coaxing." The little guy hurriedly said: "The eldest brother took me to see the world, and it's too late to be grateful." Otherwise, let's not go back and serve the master with peace of mind. ”

He Sheng said: "You have the guts of a mouse, you just don't tell him that we will go." For the rest, what are you afraid of with me? Serving the lord is the first priority, and we don't fail to serve, aren't we everywhere? You've also seen other minions with heads and faces, which one isn't a waste of time? Let's do this, at best! ”

He Sheng stretched out a little thumb to the little girl, accepted it and continued: "Although we are slaves, but aside from the master, we are also a man, aren't we?" Why can't you be like a man once in a while? How many of the prostitutes/pavilions are not dignitaries? Go to a drink and listen to a storyteller, do you have to be rich? They recognize only the money, and not the identity. ”

The little guy listened to this, thinking that they didn't do anything harmful, and they spent their hard-earned monthly money. With peace of mind, he didn't mention it.

Qing Tong was in the small study at this time, and he had already asked Qing Yan to stop writing. She took out the snacks she brought in the palace, put them on the table, and said, "Keep a few and bring them back for Sister Qing to eat later." ”

Qing Yan looked at the dim sum and was happy, hurriedly took two of them in his hand, and said, "I'm going to call Sister Qing and ask her to come over and eat together." These two, I brought them to my aunt, can it be done? ”

Qingtong glanced at her, straightened up, and asked curiously, "Do you really like your aunt so much?" ”

"My aunt has always been very good, and I liked it from the first meeting." Qing Yan said seriously.

Qingtong raised his hand and pinched his little face: "Take it, bring a message to Mrs. again, I took a break and went to her room." ”

"Huh." Qing Yan happily agreed, took the two snacks and ran out.

ran all the way to Gong Qiu's courtyard, drilled into the wing, sent the dim sum directly to the plate on Feng Yu's table, and brought it to the kang, saying, "Auntie, rest for a while, see I brought you something delicious." ”

Feng Yu put down the work in his hand, glanced at the snacks, and said, "Such a precious thing, the second master can eat it himself." ”

"I kept it for myself, and this is for my aunt. Auntie eat quickly, I still have to go beforehand, and I will come to play with my aunt tomorrow. Without waiting for Feng Yu to speak, he ran away again.

ran to the door of the main house, stretched out his head and poked in, and said before entering the door: "Madam, can I go in?" ”

Inside, Qingyun heard that it was Qingyan, and hurriedly came out to welcome him in. Bringing him to Gong Qiu, he saluted first, and then said, "Dad asked me to pass on a message, and he will come to you later." ”

"Got it." Gong Qiu looked at the well-behaved villain, and only responded simply.

Qing Yan brought the words and took his leave. As soon as he left, he returned to the house lightly, and said to Gong Qiu: "The wife doesn't want to get close to people, and the slave knows that only this second master showed favor like before, so he shouldn't refuse." ”

Gong Qiuyuan doesn't like to listen to this, and she doesn't understand people's feelings? What's the use of asking for favors?

Qingyun saw that she was silent, and knew that it was not good to say anything, but she still couldn't help but chatter: "Don't think about it, you should also think about the position of our serious master." Does Mrs. still want to live the days of being lonely every day in the palace family? Now Aunt Feng and the second master are so close, they are only about to become mother and son. It turns out that he had an old relationship with the old man again, but how do you know that there is no day of resurgence? The wife doesn't have a round house with the old man, and there will never be children, and it can be regarded as a crime. If that aunt has it, how do you know that the mother will not be more expensive than the son......"

The rest of the words were said lightly, and only glanced at Gong Qiu. Seeing that she lowered her eyebrows, there was no vision on her face, and she didn't know whether she heard it or not, so she simply didn't say anything.

went out and was busy in the yard for a while, and suddenly saw Qingtong enter the yard, hurriedly greeted him, and said: "Madam, the master is here." ”

Feng Yu in the wing room listened to it, but he didn't hear half of it. Ling'er, when she went to the door, she opened the bead curtain on the door, took a sneak look, and went back again, without saying anything to Feng Yu.

Qingtong entered the main room and sat opposite Gong Qiu, explaining his intention. It turned out that he was promoted, and he wanted to celebrate it tonight, so he was in his own family, and there was nothing else. This matter has to be Gong Qiu Zhang Luo.

Gong Qiu responded, remained silent, and suddenly asked again: "The contract I signed with the master is valid for life?" ”

Qing Tong was stunned for a moment, not understanding what she meant. Gong Qiu moved his body, still looking calm, and said word by word: "Won't it be invalid because of something, seeing that I have no use value?" ”

Qing Tong understood the meaning of her words at this time, no matter how indestructible and strong she was on the surface, she still had her own insecurity in her heart. In such an era, women mostly depended on men to live. Without a man, I don't know what value there is.

Qingtong looked at Gong Qiu's face, and didn't know how much unease there was under the cold appearance, so he just nodded promisefully: "Valid for life, you will always be my Qingtong's wife." ”

Gong Qiu looked at Qing Tong's face, and his eyes suddenly shook. After only a moment, he stabilized and moved away: "Master Xie." ”

And this moment also completely erased the wavering thoughts of Qingtong in the morning. In bed in the morning, the moment she heard the eldest prince of Concubine Kong, her heart was sour, and she even thought of whether to give up everything she has now, and be his Xu Jing's woman.

Now that I think about it, I still can't.

After explaining, Gong Qiu went to work on the celebration. It's just a matter of instructing the kitchen to cook some dishes and then arrange them. The place where eating and drinking is lively is still set up in the courtyard of the main hall, and the lights and candles are lit.

When the banquet was about to start, the little guy guarding the door in the front yard suddenly came to pass the word: "There are two masters who come to the door and ask to see the master, one surnamed Xu and the other surnamed Xing." ”
