Chapter 237: See!
Pass first, change later!
------Off topic------
In the cold and silent Qianqing Palace, Concubine Gong smiled lightly, lowered her head on Emperor Hongtai's chest, and smiled softly, "Guangji, you can sleep with confidence." Although I have given birth to you a silly daughter like me, I have also given you a son as smart as you, and they will all be fine. ”
At this time, the singing voice of the inner prison came from outside, "The eldest princess gets up in the sedan chair!" ”
There is a room of glory and wealth, but it is as cold as a suffocating ice cellar, and all the excitement outside has nothing to do with them. In the flickering candle flame, Concubine Gong looked at the gate of the palace where Zhao Ziyue left, and was silent for a long time. The lights cast her haggard shadow on the bright yellow tent, reflecting the boundless loneliness.
In the empty palace, only the two of them remained.
"Sleep well, I'll be with you."
In the huge Qianqing Palace, the sound of footsteps, Zhao Ziyue finally left.
patted Zhao Ziyue's shoulder, Concubine Gong smiled and shook his hand, "Guangji, our daughter is getting married." When will you wake up? Opening his closed eyes, she sighed faintly and smiled, "But it's good that you don't wake up, otherwise, you will definitely not look down on the man of the Yan family, and you will not let your daughter marry him." Wouldn't this be a mistake for his daughter's marriage? ”
These days, he had been well served by Concubine Gong, his beard was neatly trimmed, and his clothes were dry and dry, as if he had just fallen asleep. The only difference is that his daughter is like this, but he can't wake up, and he can't understand the feeling of being a father when his daughter is about to get married.
"Father, my daughter is getting married...... You're getting better. ”
Zhao Ziyue sobbed, knelt down in front of the bed, and knocked her head three times.
"My daughter is so good-looking." Concubine Gong smiled, meticulously inserted the hairpin into Zhao Ziyue's hair, and then, like every mother in the world who watched her daughter get married, looked at it for a moment with expectations and blessings, and smiled lightly, "Go, give your father a farewell." ”
Concubine Gong took the makeup box with a smile, looked at Zhao Ziyue's face left and right, and chuckled: "This is what the mother concubine has prepared for you a long time ago, and I will add a dowry to you." "When I opened the lid of the box, there was a golden hairpin of cranes with gold dots and emerald inlaid stones, which was carved into the shape of butterflies and flowers with precious stones, which was very delicate and beautiful.
"Mother, the slave and maid brought something."
Yue Yu quickly opened the curtain and came in, handing over a delicate rosewood makeup box.
After that, she shouted Yueyu.
As if her heart and liver were crushed by life, Zhao Ziyue whimpered, crying so tightly that her throat was tight, and she couldn't breathe, but Concubine Gong, who was always crying, didn't have half a tear, she smiled slightly, and while wiping her tears, she coaxed, "It's not early, be good, don't miss the time." ”
"Princess Ziyue, it's not too early."
Zhao Ziyue choked up and just shouted, and Cui Yingda's coughing sound came from outside the door.
"Mother, I'm not married, I'm not married, I'll stay in the palace and accompany you and Yaya......"
"Okay, I'm going to get married, I'll be an adult in the future, don't be so weak as my mother, I won't do anything but cry. You don't have to think too much, Yaya is still a child, they won't embarrass her, Grandpa Cui is a good person, I will beg him to take care of it...... Ziyue, you just have to go. ”
Like a child, Zhao Ziyue's tears were like a beaded curtain with broken threads, wetting Concubine Gong's knees. This time, Concubine Gong didn't comfort her, just watched her cry quietly, and when she cried so much that she finally stopped her tears, she took a silk to wipe her tears.
In the palace, even if Zhao Ziyue is simple, she can understand the meaning of Concubine Gong's words. She was shocked when she heard this, and pounced on her, hugged Concubine Gong's waist tightly, rested her head on her lap, and tears rained down, "Mother, we will definitely be able to leave." I'll be back with you, and ...... Yaya......, my maid, they won't let me take it away, woo......"
"Tell him that his mother will never be a stumbling block to him, and he doesn't have to take care of me and be controlled by others."
Her eyes were fixed on a palace lamp in the corner, as if caught in some sad thought.
But when it came to this, Concubine Gong hesitated for a long time and didn't say anything.
In the silence of the hall, Zhao Ziyue raised her head and listened quietly.
Concubine Gong shook her head slowly, restrained her, and then whispered, "Ziyue, they won't allow your brother to come to see me, Concubine Gong has no chance to talk to him, and some words can only be brought to him by you." You tell your brother that the mother concubine is a person who has no ability, and she can't give him ideas......"
"Mother!" Zhao Ziyue choked up.
"Mother concubine......" Ziyue looked at her with a pair of teary eyes, Concubine Gong still just smiled, "I have to guard him here, I can't take a step, if he wakes up and can't see me, how sad will it be?" After hesitating, she stroked Zhao Ziyue's head again, lowered her head and stared at her, her voice was full of love, "You obediently follow your husband, don't worry about your mother, do you understand?" ”
Concubine Gong smiled slightly, "Silly daughter, who said I was leaving?" ”
She didn't believe it, but seeing Concubine Gong's gray hair, she couldn't say anything to refute. She only held Concubine Gong's hand tightly and said softly, "Mother, I have seen the relationship between you and your father, and now in this situation, you don't have to be pessimistic, I came today to tell you ......" After that, she looked at the empty palace and lowered her voice, "Brother will find a way, he will take you out, let's leave this ghost place, let's leave Jingshi...... My brother will definitely have a way. You wait, wait. ”
Concubine Gong entered the palace for more than 20 years, and after that, Emperor Hongtai had no children, which is a well-known fact. But with the respect of an emperor, he can do this, except for Concubine Gong herself, it is estimated that no one will believe it. Even Zhao Ziyue, the daughter of Emperor Hongtai, who was favored like a jewel, was suspicious.
"Mother!" Zhao Ziyue almost shouted in surprise.
"After me, countless concubines have been included in the palace over the years, and none of them have any more children. In order to balance the harem and the courtiers, your father will also spend the night in their palace...... But Ziyue, although he never said anything to me, I have always guessed that he may not have spoiled them......"
Zhao Ziyue shook her head with tears in her eyes, but Concubine Gong laughed.
"They hate me. They are all women, I know their resentment, but I am not a good woman, I don't want any women's virtues, I am just jealous and petty, I don't allow him to go to other palaces......" She smiled, and stroked Zhao Ziyue's face, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes couldn't hide the happiness in her eyes, "Ziyue, your brother is your father's youngest son, and you are his youngest princess, do you know why?" ”
As if immersed in some of the good things of the past, the corners of Concubine Gong's lips carried a touch of girlish shyness, "When I first entered the palace, I was looking for death and life all day long, wanting to leave, wanting to leave, he always tried his best to please me, and he couldn't wait to bring all the good things in the world to me, hey, in the end, he gave me a notoriety of being spoiled and spoiled, and everyone hated me." ”
"That's good. If he is willing to tell you a story every day, it will not be a loss for you to marry him. Your father, the Emperor, also liked to speak to me at that time. But he doesn't tell stories, he only talks about his retribution, his ambitions, and his Jin Ge Iron Horse...... But I don't like to listen to it, and I don't understand that, but whether I understand it or not, he always speaks, and he can't finish it......"
Concubine Gong thought about it, looked at her with a smile, and stroked the bun on her head.
Such a stupid question, only the mother and daughter can say it. But Concubine Gong's second question had not yet been spoken, but Zhao Ziyue was full of tears and said something even more stupid, "But Mother, he promised me to tell me a story every day." ”
"I don't know, mother. Me and him...... Uncooked. ”
Hearing Concubine Gong's inquiry, Zhao Ziyue looked at her stunned and shook her head.
"Azusa, will he be nice to you?"
Concubine Gong kept babbling and saying a lot of things, most of which were explaining to Emperor Hong Tai that as a father, he couldn't settle family affairs for his daughter early. Her voice was soft and soft, and she sounded as if she was happy to be married to her daughter, but occasionally a trace of choking appeared in her throat, but she seemed to be enduring a certain emotion.
"Daughters are treasures in their father's eyes, no matter how good a man in the world is, he can't get into his eyes, and the princess next to him began to choose a horse in the thirteenth and fourteenth years, but why didn't your father choose it for you? Ziyue, it's not that he doesn't love you, and he loves you too much, he is reluctant to marry you......"
"Ziyue, don't blame your father." The smile on Concubine Gong's face was softer than ever, and it was calmer than ever, if it weren't for that fleeting apology, Zhao Ziyue would definitely mistakenly think that the predicament in front of them never existed, "He wants you to marry a good man, he said it a long time ago." Speaking of this, she tilted her head slightly, glanced at Emperor Hongtai who was lying on the bed silently, and smiled lightly from the beginning, "It is said that the emperor loves the eldest son, and the people love the youngest son." But your father loves your daughter the most. When you were very young, he was always worried, his daughter is so beautiful, so good, so stupid, what kind of colt should he choose, so that he can rest assured? ”
"Mother......" Zhao Ziyue's voice choked up.
She didn't say anything about her father or her mother, she just used an ordinary father and mother.
"My daughter is getting married." Concubine Gong didn't answer her words, just stroked her cheeks, her voice was soft, and her tone seemed to be smiling, "If you get married, you will serve your husband well, and don't worry about your mother and father." ”
In her mind, she was still her dazzling mother, the one who had made the palace concubines jealous all her life, not the middle-aged woman in front of her who had completely lost her color...... She didn't even dare to think about how uncomfortable her brother would be if he saw his mother like this.
With a sneer in her mouth, Zhao Ziyue only repeated the same sentence.
Concubine Gong came over to help her up, and the golden steps in front of her forehead swayed under the candlelight, reflecting her white hair and the smile on her face, making Zhao Ziyue's heart feel like a knife, "Mother, how did you change...... Is it like this? How are you...... It became like this...... What ......?"
With a choked mouth, her legs went limp, and she knelt on the ground, tears rolling down the corners of her eyes.
"The Mother ......"
Her appearance made Zhao Ziyue take a step back, almost daring to recognize her.
The years have messed up the rouge, and time has changed the face.
At this time, it was not yet dawn, and the candles were still burning in the house. In the dim light, Emperor Hong Taidi lay quietly on the bed, silent, and her mother, the once beautiful Concubine Gongniang, was only over forty years old, but in a short period of time, she was already full of gray hair, and there were so many wrinkles at the corners of her eyes that even if she was carefully dressed, she still couldn't cover her haggard and old.
Zhao Ziyue felt that Cui Yingda's voice was inexplicably strange and low, but she didn't say much, left Qingteng outside, and followed him into Emperor Hongtai's bedroom with her skirt.
She asked hurriedly, but Cui Yingda didn't answer, only glanced at Aunt Yu, frowned, and said, "Niangniang is waiting for the princess inside, and you are waiting here." After that, he bowed and sighed, "Princess Ziyue, will you go in with the old slave?" ”
"Father-in-law, how are my mother and father?"
Cui Yingda, who was used to the old name, did not change it, and came over to greet her with a smile. Zhao Ziyue found that after not seeing her for a few days, Grandpa Cui's face was even more weathered, and he seemed to be much older.
Soon, the curtain opened, "Princess Ziyue is here." ”
There seemed to be few people in the hall to serve, and it seemed empty and cold, and she shouted, as if there was an echo.
"Son-in-law Ziyue visits his father and mother."
Stepping on the threshold of the Qianqing Palace, she entered the hall and slowly knelt down through a screen.
Zhao Ziyue breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a lot happier in her heart. Thinking of her mother and father, who had not seen her for a long time, she couldn't care about wearing a complicated dress, and she wore a long skirt in the wind, and led the green vine to the sedan chair.
"You took the eldest princess to the Qianqing Palace, and you said that it meant to mourn the family."
When the Empress Dowager saw it, she coughed and rubbed her forehead, stroked her long nails, and sighed suddenly, "Idiot, then you can go, just go to see your mother, don't cry, today's wedding, it's unlucky to cry too much." With that, her eyes turned, and she called out to Aunt Yu.
In the end, her tears were falling uncontrollably.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager was frowning silently, Zhao Ziyue paused and kowtowed deeply again, "Queen Mother, this farewell, I don't know when I will be able to see my mother and father again." Ziyue was stupid by nature, her father was seriously ill, and she couldn't serve in front of the bed, and now she is about to get married, no matter what, she has to go to the ...... of resignation."
Now that her daughter is going to get married, if she still says that she doesn't want to see her, it is even more impossible.
But in this world, who is a mother who doesn't want to see her daughter? She didn't believe it.
Since the preparations for her marriage began, they have mentioned countless times that they want to see Concubine Gong and Emperor Hongtai in the Qianqing Palace, but every time they refuse on the grounds that the Emperor Tai is not cured and Concubine Gong is taking care of her in the palace.
"Mother, I want to ...... Go to the Qianqing Palace to see the mother and father. ”
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, she bowed deeply to the ground and exchanged another request.
Her every word is gentle and warm, and there is nothing like the mother of a beloved daughter, but these words fell on Zhao Ziyue's ears, but they were prickly, and every sentence was filed. She knew that even if she got married and left the palace, Yaya was left here, and her heart was left here. No matter where she went, she couldn't escape the cage.
The Empress Dowager looked at the top of her head and said: "You don't have to worry, the grandmothers in this palace have parenting experience, and the princess will definitely be taken care of, so you can rest assured that you will go to the Horse Mansion and give birth to a child in the future, and you will have your own support, and you can no longer take care of your sister who is not related to you." ”
Zhao Ziyue hung her head, her eyelids blinked, and she was so choked that she couldn't speak.
"Azusa!" The Empress Dowager coughed and interrupted her with a smile, "Yaya is my princess of Dayan, although she is not from a concubine, but the Empress Dowager has a canonization, and her identity is as noble. Where does the princess have the reason to marry with her sister? Isn't it a joke to spread like this? People will say that I am a royal family, and I often ...... in vain."
Zhao Ziyue glanced up at her, tugged at the hem of her clothes with Danko's fingers, and hesitated for a long time before she said softly, "Queen Mother, my mother concubine is now waiting for my father in the Qianqing Palace...... If I marry, the maid will be alone in the palace, can I let her ...... with me?"
"There's no one now, come on."
"Today you are going to get married, and it will be difficult to see the face of the queen mother in the future, if there is anything, just say it, there is no need to be bothered." After the Empress Dowager finished smiling, seeing that she still didn't move, she seemed to understand something, looked back at the people waiting in the hall, waved her hand, and asked them all to retreat, before she smiled kindly.
Zhao Ziyue knelt in the hall with low eyebrows, spoke in a thin voice, and did not raise her head.
"Queen Mother, the son-in-law has a request."
Probably didn't sleep well all night, the incense burner in the palace of the Empress Dowager still exuded a faint fragrance, and her body after illness was still not very good, since Zhao Ziyue entered the palace, she has been coughing non-stop.
The sky was not white, Zhao Ziyue got up early and dressed up, and went to the Zhanghe Hall where the Empress Dowager temporarily lived to bow down.
On the seventh day of the seventh month of July.
Because of the succession of Emperor Jianzhang Zhao Mianze, Zhao Runa became the eldest princess of Jinghua, and Zhao Ziyue, who is the aunt of Zhao Mianze, should be the "eldest princess" in terms of position, and because she is the favorite daughter of the emperor, the queen mother organized her wedding in a lively and solemn manner in order to show her grace.
On this day, it was the wedding of Zhao Ziyue and Yan Ergui.
In the blink of an eye, it was the seventh day of the seventh month of the twenty-seventh year of Hongtai.
In this world, everyone has their own role, playing their own role, they can never play others, and they can't walk the path of others, whether their road is full of thorns, sunshine, or traps, they have to take steps, keep moving forward, and wait for the end of life after tasting sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy. Since May, the days of Jingshi have completely entered the summer, and the people in Jingshi City have also been dragged by the giant wheel of history, and have entered another stage of life with an attitude of irresistibility and escape.

"Hey, how did Ah Qi become a puppy." He said the words of reproach, but the voice was as gentle as the spring breeze weeping willows, whispered, grabbed her waist and hugged her in his arms, bowed his head and kissed her warm lips, and kissed her until she itched, maybe he really waited for a long time, under the strong psychological effect, a single kiss is no longer enough, two men and women who are difficult to self-control, a kiss and a hug, but it seems to be eternal, every move, is to be turned over the red wave......
Xia Chuqi glanced at him, lowered his head and gnawed on his shoulder, "You deserve it!" ”
"Look at me......" he took her hand, "look how much I want you?" ”
"You're a person with no conscience, you know how to bully me."
Listening to his explanation, Xia Chuqi's mouth was already smiling.
God knows how much he thinks, the taste of abstinence is a torment for any man, but why he is so forbearing, it is nothing more than to hear the doctor say that pregnancy needs to be controlled, otherwise, it is not good for pregnant women and children. Usually he came over, hugged her in his arms, kissed and hugged her many times, and the anxiety was no less than hers, but he had to pretend to leave as if nothing happened, so as not to hurt her and the child, and lest she think that he only cared about himself and did not know how to understand her at all.
"Little conscienceless!" He sighed and pinched her nose.
"For me...... And Little Nineteen? Xia Chuqi was stunned, "Where does this start?" ”
"Silly Seven, isn't this for you and our children?"
Women have tempers, even if it is a woman like Xia Chuqi with a man-like heart, once she is arrogant, her small appearance can indeed make people have a headache. Zhao Jun looked at her with a smile and a smile, his eyes seemed to be a little apologetic, more like helplessness. He didn't like to explain, but when he opened his mouth, he still spoke.
"Go, go, go! You don't like me at all, why are you staying here? ”
He pondered slightly, pretending to be serious with a straight face, "On a big night, the little lady can't bear to drive people away?" ”
She looked resentful with red eyes, and directly killed His Royal Highness King Jin in seconds.
"Zhao Nineteen, you hurry up and get out of here."
She sat down abruptly, she stopped pinching him, and her face sank.
Xia Chuqi really wanted to cry. From Zhao Zhu's return to Beijing to the present, the two of them actually have countless opportunities, but he really has no substantive violations, although he takes the initiative to seek pleasure, he rarely crosses the minefield. If it weren't for the three days when she returned to Zhaolou, if it weren't for a little nineteen in her stomach, she would have wondered if Zhao Nineteen was sick. But are there any wolves in the world that don't eat meat when it reaches its mouth? There was only one explanation, he didn't want her at all.
"Men have always been more tired than women, doesn't Ah Qi understand?"
"Huh?" Xia Chuqi couldn't wait to pinch him to death, "Do you still want to share?" ”
The corners of Zhao Zhu's lips bent without a trace, and he said, "Two hundred points." ”
"Master...... Pregnant women are also in demand. ”
Looking at him at this time, he can still be light and light, Xia Chuqi couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart, his fingers pinched him viciously, he made a painful "um", and a trace of moaning floated out of his voice, vague, sexy, indescribably sultry, listening to her heart like a feather scratching, her face was hot, and she couldn't restrain herself.
Zhao Zhu let out a light "um" in his nose and nodded, "Master allows you to paste it upside down." ”
"Hey, hey, look at this posture, do you want me to post it upside down?"
She hated herself and sneered.
He said it seriously, but Xia Chuqi was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it. Her original intention of setting up the points system was originally to stifle him, but it turned out that she was obviously not as nervous as this master at all, and he didn't need to save as many points as he could, but she would drool when she saw his body, which was too uncompromising.
"Serve you, don't you have to give points?"
"What's the point?" The seventh day of the summer month was slightly puzzled.
"How many points is Ah Qi going to give to you?"
He still didn't move, she pressed a few times, grinding her teeth in displeasure, and her fingers went down his waist, but before her hand reached the umbilicus, he held it down. He chuckled and rolled over with his arms around her waist, a playful smile running across his lips.
"Hey, you're not really asleep, are you?"
Xia Chuqi glared at the back of his head fiercely and swallowed.
Zhao Zhu lay still, as if he was sleeping comfortably.
"Master, you have so many points...... Don't you want to use it? ”
said so, but the strength in her hand was extremely accurate. I pressed his head for a while, and when I saw him humming happily, I was interested, and I turned him over and lay on the bed, and gently pressed him down from his shoulders and back to his waist. She originally didn't have a "bad heart", but His Royal Highness King Jin is really very comparable, her waist is flexible and powerful, her muscles are solid but not cumbersome, and the color of light bronze is healthy and very masculine. Even if he doesn't move, that body will die. Slowly, she doesn't seem to be simply massaging, but like teasing beautiful men......
Xia Chuqi pouted, "Abuse pregnant women!" Dislike! ”
"Heavier."
Zhao Jun didn't argue, glanced at her high bulging lower abdomen, and sighed.
Xia Chuqi was slightly stunned, almost laughing, and her expression was distorted by the forbearance emotion, "Master, do you think that as a horse rider, you will obediently massage the horse, right?" ”
"Being ridden on your body...... Will the horse be comfortable? ”
Thinking like this in his heart, he forcibly suppressed an impulse, and the words that came out in a hoarse voice were extremely inadequate.
"Su Xi doesn't comb his hair, silk is draped on his shoulders, and he is tactful on his knees, where is not pitiful."
Zhao Jun opened her eyes slightly, looking at her face close at hand, as well as the flawless white skin on the face, she couldn't help but tighten her throat, and she didn't know it, she lowered her head, and a few hairs fell down his neck, itchy, crispy, mixed with that different daughter fragrance, which made him emotional, only to feel that her little hand on his forehead was like a soldering iron, cutting his nerves.
After thinking about it for a moment, she put a lot of strength on his massaging hands, "Is it comfortable?" ”
Especially emotionally, it is even more compelling.
Sometimes, you can't push a person too hard.
But Xia Chuqi knew that he didn't sleep. She wasn't sure about Zhao Shijiu's feelings for the Empress Dowager, and wanted to remind him not to be coaxed by the gentleness of a tigress in sheep's clothing. But even if she thinks so in her heart, she can understand that Zhao Shijiu left the Rouyi Palace to Kunning Palace at the age of six, and has been raised by Empress Zhang, for more than ten years, no matter what Empress Zhang thinks in her heart, but at least on the surface, she has given Zhao Shijiu enough maternal love, which is the only maternal love he can get after he leaves Concubine Gong.
Zhao Zhu's eyes were tightly closed, only his eyelids were blinking slightly, as if he was asleep.
"Zhao Nineteen, in fact, you know better than anyone else that the Empress Dowager, she has never really liked you. Not only did she never treat you as a son, but the fact that Concubine Gong secretly hid the portrait of the emperor of the previous dynasty must not be able to get rid of her. You wouldn't have thought about how much blood was contaminated under her virtuous name, right? ”
For the Empress Dowager who raised Zhao Shijiu, Xia Chuqi actually didn't know what kind of feelings he had. Seeing that he was silent, she smiled slightly, put her hands on his shoulders, and gently laid him flat on the bed, while she rode on his waist and massaged his temples with her hands.
Xia Chuqi nodded, "The Empress Dowager has been ignoring the affairs of the court for a long time, but the trip to Dongyuan asked me to go by name, and I didn't expect it to be right at that time." She made an appointment with me, and then with Amur, just to borrow a knife to kill someone. You know this very well, right? ”
"Ah Qi, you know everything."
A faint wave swept through his cold deep eyes, and his expression stroked her hair with a solemn expression.
She didn't directly say who it was, but Zhao Zhu had obviously thought of it.
Xia Chuqi stroked his delicate eyebrows, leaned over his lips and kissed him, and said with a smile, "Amur is not a brainless woman, she dares to disobey Dongfang Qingxuan, and dares to risk being discovered by you to do such a thing, she must have been plucked by others, or someone gave her a promise." Otherwise, how could she be so stupid? ”
Her sudden emotion made Zhao Zhu's brows jump slightly, "Ah Qi......"
"The matter of Dongyuan is not the work of Amr alone, right?"
After a while, when he pulled it away from his lips, Xia Chuqi half-closed his eyes and sighed.
"Zhao Nineteen!" Xia Chuqi hugged back, hugged his sturdy body tightly, and his nose was sore. In the face of adversity, affectionately hugging each other, hugging each other tightly, both of them were moved, hugging and kissing each other, only to feel that their hearts were closer, no matter how stormy the world was, they could no longer be separated.
"I know." He tightened her shoulders and gently stroked her palm, "In this world, there is no one who knows me better." Speaking of this, he lowered his gaze, his gaze fell on her lips, and pecked lightly, "With you, no matter whether you succeed or fail, this life is enough!" ”
"Zhao Shijiu, in fact, I joked with you, I don't blame you. If I really am embarrassed by you for such a small thing, how can I be your wife? How can I walk through the world side by side with you? ”
How could Xia Chuqi not understand? The two of them are currently in a difficult situation, and every step in the Beijing division is like walking on thin ice, and they can't afford to make any small mistakes, and they can't afford to lose. Zhao Nineteen has Zhao Nineteen's plan, and she believes that he will eventually turn things around and see the moon through the dark clouds. But before that storm came, it was not a good thing to make many enemies, especially an enemy like Dongfang Qingxuan, and it was not appropriate to fight hard.
"He said that if there is a next time, he will do it himself." Zhao Zhu said, seeing that she was silent, her expression was not distinguishing between joy and anger, her eyes slowly sank, and she gently lifted her chin, "Ah Qi, there is nothing more important than the safety of you and the child at the moment, do you understand?" ”
"So, when you accept the embroidered handkerchief, you agree?"
If that woman wasn't Dongfang Amur, Dongfang Qingxuan shouldn't frown and solve the matter directly. But at the end of the day, he still has to protect her sister...... So, he came over today, although he only handed over an embroidered handkerchief and didn't say anything, but the meaning was very clear - he was using the secret of the Ruhua wine shop to blackmail Zhao Zhu, so as to protect Amur.
When she was at the wine table, she had already guessed eight or nine. When she was in Dongyuan, Amur instructed the archers to shoot her, but Zhao Zun caught the arrow. Xia Chuqi can guess this matter, and Zhao Zhu and Dongfang Qingxuan will naturally know about it. Zhao Zhu knew whether she would retaliate or do something in the future, she couldn't completely expect it, but Dongfang Qingxuan obviously wanted to give him an explanation.
Xia Chuqi's eyebrows were raised lightly, and there was no accident, and his eyes looked at him for a moment.
"Ah Qi wanted me to say, so I said. Dongfang Qingxuan deliberately chose to come over today in order to trade with me. ”
Wide-eyed and small-eyed, the two looked at each other, Xia Chuqi finally held back a smile and rolled his eyes at him, revealing a wolf's tooth. Zhao Bottle sighed, knowing that she was a pregnant woman, so she had to stretch out her arms, wrap her over, and lean on her shoulder.
“…… I don't understand. ”
"Yes."
"I don't understand."
"You know." He stroked her hair.
"How do I know that if there is no reason for the handkerchief embroidered by the woman in love for the first time, how can you accept it?"
It is always pleasant to be complimented by others, especially by a beloved man. Xia Chuqi snorted, feeling a lot more comfortable, but he still didn't spare him easily, snorted, and pushed his hand.
"You're stupid! If you want to lose it, why take it? She pouted unhappily, and pinched his fingers towards him, this pinch, with ten percent of the force, made Zhao Zhu snort in pain, funny and angry, shook his head, gently hugged her over, and said in a low voice while giving her wide clothes, "Ah Qi is so smart, do you still need an explanation?" ”
"If you take off your master, you'll be gone! Are you stupid or not? ”
“…… Ah Qi, what are you doing in such a hurry? Zhao Zhu helplessly cooperated with her, took off her left sleeve, and then took off her right sleeve, seeing that her shirt was off, she was going to pull out her pants again, she couldn't help but choke her wrist with a smile, and turned over coldly, turned her around, and tightly strangled her in her arms.
"I don't believe you'll lose it. Say, where the hell are you hiding? ”
Lost? Xia Chuqi pounced in disbelief and touched his body everywhere. But even though she searched all over her body, she still couldn't find the embroidered handkerchief that Dongfang Qingxuan handed him when she was in the flower restaurant. She couldn't help but be annoyed, and pulled his middle coat down and took it off.
"How dare you keep that thing? I lost it before. ”
Seeing that she finally couldn't hold back and asked, Zhao Bottle chuckled and slapped her palm lightly.
"Where's the thing? Take it out and spare your life! ”
"Huh?" Zhao Zhu's cold brows furrowed slightly, as if he was still puzzled, his eyes were solemn, and he bent down slightly to hug her, "What the hell is going on?" Seeing him like this, Xia Chuqi spread his hands unhappily.
"I can't stand it! Zhao Nineteen, are you still pretending to be stupid with me? ”
Xia Chuqi rolled his eyes, sat up suddenly, and glared at him.
"Ah Qi seems to be unhappy?"
She didn't answer the horse's mouth, obviously not focusing on his question. Zhao Zhu glanced at her, pursed the corners of his mouth without making a sound, put down the scarf, got up to cut the flickering wick, and when he turned around, he happened to bump into her wide-eyed eyes, and couldn't help frowning.
"Hmm."
"What's wrong?" He hesitated slightly.
"Hmm."
"I've been delayed for so long today, are you sleepy?"
"Hmm." She was weak.
"Comfortable?"
When Xia Chuqi put on a "new maternity pajamas" specially made by Qinglan and walked into the inner room, Zhao Zhu was lying on the bed with her clothes half-open, flipping through a book she had read during the day. Seeing her coming, he got up and helped her to sit down, picked up a velvet towel, and twisted her hair.
"At least ......" dragged his voice, Xia Chuqi's eyes reflected in the lights, sinking slightly, "I have to wait for Xiao Nineteen to be born before I can let her leave." It's not that I don't trust, it's that I can't afford to gamble. ”
"That's good." Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief.
Xia Chuqi closed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his lips curled an arc, "No, I will tell her that the Beidi people have not left yet, and the relationship between Beidi and Nanyan is due to the matter of Dongyuan, and there is a suspicion, before the matter is resolved, it is not appropriate to renew the incident, let her stay in Chuci Courtyard with peace of mind." ”
"You want to promise her?" Qinglan also had the same worries as her.
After thinking about it for a long time, she sighed, "I'll talk to her tomorrow." ”
The last time Gu Gillian left in a hurry, she left when Lao Gu Tou was sick, so much time has passed, as a daughter, it is normal for her to want to go back to see, she has no reason not to let Gillian go home to see her father. But if she was allowed to leave the Chuci Courtyard with such a big secret, Xia Chuqi felt uneasy.
But now that she took the initiative to say that she wanted to leave to see her father, Xia Chuqi was a little embarrassed.
As long as people don't leave, there will be no stubble.
Since Gu Ajiao entered the Chu Ci Academy, she has lived very close to Xia Chuqi. The two of them always see each other day and night, plus the last time they rushed to make the Chiguli skirt, Xia Chuqi's pregnancy, there is no way to hide her anymore. However, the girl was delicate, she noticed it, but she knew how to avoid suspicion, and never took the initiative to ask, and Xia Chuqi did not make a special trip to explain the matter to her in order to avoid trouble. However, although she believes that Gillian will not do things that are wrong with her, she is also unwilling to hurt Xiao Nineteen because of some small negligence. Therefore, these days, she has asked her not to leave Chuci Courtyard for half a step on the grounds of Gu Ajiao's safety.
"Hmm", Xia Chuqi relaxed his frowning brows.
She didn't say anything more, and went straight away.
"And then?"
"I said you weren't feeling well, and you had already fallen asleep."
Xia Chuqi frowned slightly, "Then how did you tell her." ”
Qinglan hesitated for a moment and said, "I didn't say anything, I just asked to borrow a needle and thread, and before leaving, I said hesitantly, I want to ask you, I don't know if the news of her matter has passed these days?" She hasn't been back for so long, thinking about her sick father in bed, and wants to quit......"
Xia Chuqi was slightly stunned, "What did she say?" ”
Qinglan knew that she had always liked to joke, so she snorted lightly and smiled helplessly, but she didn't know what she thought, her mind turned around, and she condensed her voice, "Miss Seven, as soon as you leave tonight, Gu's Gillian will come over." ”
"That's what you don't understand, my father and I like the taste of cheating!"
This issue has already been discussed with Zhao Zhu on the seventh day of the summer month. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than a question between selfishness and responsibility, and people live not only to live for themselves, but also to live for dignity. However, she had never said these words to Qinglan, and at this time, naturally she didn't have to explain so much, she just shook her head and raised her chin happily.
Qinglan smiled, "If you really ran away with your master, then it would be good." After a pause, her soft face sank and sighed faintly, "Such a suffocating day, not only you, but I look uncomfortable for the two of you." Miss Seven, sometimes even I can't help but wonder, why don't you and Your Highness leave? The heavens and the earth are big, and there is no place for you? ”
"Are you afraid I'll run away with him?"
Xia Chuqi grinned and slapped a handful of water on his arm.
When Zheng Erbao tried his best to serve his grandfather to bathe, Qinglan also helped Xia Chuqi, who had lost his clothes, into the wooden barrel, and chuckled while plucking water for her, "You are not in the yard, but you can be regarded as worrying a few of me." ”
Seeing Zhao Jun sending Xia Chuqi back, he had been waiting for Qinglan and Zheng Erbao, who had not slept yet, and his hanging heart finally fell. The preparation of water for water, the auxiliary bed for auxiliary beds, and the pancreas for pancreas, the inner room of Chutz Hospital was busy.
When I returned to Chuci Courtyard, the wind and rain had dissipated, but on the eaves, occasionally a few drops of stagnant water slid down and landed on the stone steps, "ding dong" sounded, and a different night after the rain.
The dinner at the Flower Restaurant was dispersed at midnight.
~
"Poof", Xia Chuqi couldn't stop laughing.
"Come on, let's eat tofu together!"
With that, he pushed the plate forward and offered a piece of tofu to Zhao Zhu and Dongfang Qingxuan.
"I like to eat tofu, I'll cook a plate on the stove later, you don't have to be polite."
There was an undercurrent surging at the table, and Zhao Tuo and Dongfang Qingxuan didn't seem to know anything, drinking and talking by themselves. And Chen Daniu, a straightforward man, didn't know if he understood Xia Chuqi's words, he laughed and said happily.
He deliberately covered up a "truth" that everyone had already seen, just to avoid embarrassing Wuren. But as far as the temperament of Grandpa Yuan is concerned, this is really incredible. He himself was born as a demon king of the mixed world, the whole person, teasing people, playing people, and what he is good at, and now he is protecting Wuren Xiaoxiao everywhere, is it really as simple as he said to play, or is it moving?
But it was obvious that Yuan Yu was unwilling to do this.
In fact, sometimes the relationship between people is separated by a layer of window paper. If you don't pierce it, some people will never be able to get out, and she deliberately teased and joked, just because she wanted Wuren to face up to the matter between him and Yuanyu.
She deliberately teased Wuren before, naturally not casually teasing.
"My brother!" Xia Chuqi raised two fingers, made a gesture of surrender, promised to gesture at him, stopped the topic, and grinned and put a piece of tofu into his bowl, "Come!" Anyway, there is a lot of tofu in Brother Niu's house, so you can eat it. ”
"Who am I you?!" Yuan Yu kept a straight face and pretended to be angry.
"Hey, why do you keep interrupting?" At the beginning of the summer, the seventh glanced at him.
"Chu Qi!" Yuan You didn't wait for Wuren to speak, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and shouted, interrupting Xia Chuqi, and also took over the topic by the way, "I said what are you doing?" You and my brother and sister haven't seen each other for such a long time, why don't you say a few more words to me, but you catch Princess Wuren and don't let go? ”
"Could it be...... Not tasty? ”
With a light cough, she suppressed her expression, deliberately approached her for a few minutes, and smiled mysteriously.
Her blinking eyelids, her pleading tone, and her smile made Xia Chuqi close her mouth.
"Chu Qi ......"
Wuren Xiaoxiao was slightly embarrassed, and wanted to bury her head in the bowl.
Speaking of this, her little eyes shone brightly, as if she had just reacted, she looked down at Wuren Xiaoxiao, and smiled intentionally or unintentionally, "Wuren, is the tofu delicious?" Would you like another piece? ”
Xia Chuqi hooked the corners of his lips, and the meaning in his eyes was even worse, "The bereaved family mourns, there is a dish of tofu in the meal." Therefore, going to the mourner's house to eat a funeral meal is also called eating tofu rice. In order to fill their stomachs, some people often have the cheekiness to rub their meals. After a long time, the word 'eating tofu' has become the meaning of 'taking advantage'. With the evolution of time, the word 'eating tofu' has slowly been used by people in the affairs of men and women, taking advantage of each other, and it is called eating tofu ......"
Several men were drinking and chatting slowly, and when they heard her allusions, they couldn't help but look up and look interested.
Xia Chuqi held his forehead, and the smile on the corner of his lips expanded, "Hey! How can you go to a thatched house and lose your soul? After talking to herself, she put down her chopsticks, looked around at the crowd, and said with a smile: "Anyway, I'm idle and bored, I'll tell you an allusion to 'eating tofu'." ”
She sandwiched the same dish for the third time and said the same thing, even the sluggish Chen Daniu was amused, but Wuren Xiaoxiao seemed to be still immersed in her own thinking and didn't react, and still sent her away with a "good", obviously absent-minded, and didn't know what she was thinking.
"Wuren, come, eat a piece of tofu."
Wuren's eyelashes flickered wildly, and he hung his head again, "Okay." ”
"Wuren, come, eat another piece of tofu."
Seeing her chew and swallow slowly, Xia Chuqi smiled and raised her eyebrows and put a piece of tofu into her bowl.
Wu Ren seemed to be in a trance, and his hand holding the chopsticks shook slightly, "Okay." ”
She diligently served the dishes for the Uren and sandwiched a piece of white and tender tofu in her bowl.
"Wuren, come, eat a piece of tofu."
Watching him speak, Xia Chuqi glanced at Wuren's relaxed appearance and couldn't help laughing.
"Come on, come on, don't mention the things on the side, drinking is the right thing." As if to divert everyone's attention, Yuan Yu picked up the wine jug with a smile, filled the table full of people, and quickly switched to the topic between men.
"That's that, my cousin has always been like this, and I admire my cousin very much."
Even if two people go and return together, there is nothing in the first place, but after his explanation like this, it makes people have infinite reverie. Xia Chuqi glanced at him with a smile on his face, not knowing whether this guy was intentional or unintentional, and couldn't help but laugh twice.
What is called the darker and darker the depiction, that's what he is.
Looking at her embarrassment, Yuan Yu Danfeng's eyes slanted slightly, touched his chin and snorted, looking like a suave son, "Don't talk nonsense, Princess Wuren and I just met by chance under the corridor." The ground slipped after the rain, and when I saw that she almost slipped and fell, I have always taken pity on the jade, so I have to step forward to help her and bring her back......"
"I ...... Didn't go to the cellar. ”
Wu Ren Xiaoxiao's face turned red and explained in a panic.
"Didn't you two drink all the wine in the cellar? How did you come. ”
The atmosphere was slightly stagnant, Xia Chuqi glanced at Yuan You's eyes, let go of her hand clearly, and the corners of her lips rose, revealing a strange smile like a "flower".
"It's okay, thank you!"
"Be careful!" Xia Chuqi grabbed her arm in time, his eyes flickered with a hint of intent and suddenly lowered his head to her eyes. But Wuren didn't dare to look her in the eye as if he was deliberately avoiding her, so he quickly turned his head away and said in a low voice.
Yuan You carried a jar of wine in each hand, with a smug "cheap smile" on his face, and when he saw Zhao Zhu inside, he also threw an extremely "seductive" wink, which looked very weird. Compared with his calmness, Wuren Xiaoxiao's expression was a little timid. Her hair was slightly messy, her head drooped slightly, her eyelashes fluttered, and when she sat down, she almost tripped over the foot of her skirt and fell.
After half a cup of tea, Yuan Yu and Wu Ren Xiaoxiao walked into the room one after the other.
