Chapter 70: The Voice of the Warbler
Xiao Moheng just chuckled and didn't answer, and then pulled one in one hand and walked into the house. When he stepped into the mansion, he glanced at Dongfang Zhan who was standing on the side with a smile on his face, nodded his head, and then hugged the two side concubines into the hall to eat.
After the meal, Xiao Moheng rested in Shi Qingzao's courtyard, and at the same time handed over the things brought from Jingkou and Guangling to her to collect. Shi Xiaozhuang is also smart, and when he saw the two of them entering the courtyard, he took the maid to play elsewhere.
"Xiaozhuang's habit of living in the house?" Xiao Moheng asked softly.
Shi Qingzao poured him a cup of tea, knelt beside him, and said with a soft smile: "Her temperament can adapt to wherever she goes, and the palace is about to be overturned by her, but fortunately my sister tolerates it." ”
Xiao Moheng smiled, "Although Izumi's temperament is a little cold, she is actually kind in her heart, she doesn't like to take care of some chores, so you can take care of it more on weekdays." Xiao Moheng took her into his arms, his face resting on her hair, and his voice was a little hoarse.
"Qingzao is saved, rest assured!" Shi Qingzao gently snuggled in his arms, and after many days, she didn't necessarily miss her and let her involuntarily wrap around his waist. As the eldest daughter in the family, she has shared her parents' worries since she was a child, and never let her father and mother be tired.
After entering the palace, she was very adaptable, Xie Yuanxiu asked her to help with the cooking, she was also able to get started quickly, and was even more skilled than her, and then Xie Yuanxiu simply ignored many things, but because she entered the palace early, she had to call the shots for many major things.
But what makes Shi Qingzao most happy is her husband, she has never been a person who clings to the powerful, and she never thought that she would marry into the palace one day, but what is really difficult is to get such a handsome and elegant man as her husband, she was so strong and open-minded before, and she turned into a finger twister in front of Xiao Moheng.
Leaning on his arms at this moment made her feel more comfortable and at ease.
"You can take her out to play more, your father wants her to stay by his side, I'm afraid it will be rare to be so free in the future!" Xiao Moheng swept away the green silk hanging on her face, and said loudly.
"Well, she has gone out for a walk many times, she has been to the teahouse and music workshop on the bank of the Qinhuai River, Mr. Dongfang has also taken her to listen to music, and even Xiaoyue Tower She has also come back from a tour." Shi Qingzao replied with a chuckle. didn't notice at all that when she mentioned Xiaoyue Tower, Xiao Moheng's expression froze.
"Don't restrain her, are the people in my Lingwang Mansion still afraid of being bullied?" Xiao Moheng immediately bowed, with a hint of arrogance in his expression. Now that he has a heavy army in his hands, and his advisers and cronies are all strong, he has enough capital to compete for the world. Just thinking of how the situation in Jingzhou has been going on since he left Beijing for many days, I can't help but cheer up.
Xiao Moheng slowly helped her up, looked at her and said gently: "I still have some things to deal with tonight, you will rest sooner!" ”
Shi Qingzao nodded, got up and helped him tidy up his clothes, and sent him out. She knew in her heart that Xiao Moheng had just returned home, and there should be a lot of things waiting for him to deal with. Xiao Moheng also values her decency and generosity the most.
However, Xie Yuanxiu is not as clear as Shi Qingzao.
At this time, in Xie Yuanxiu's residence, her maid looked at the weeping young lady and frowned.
"Miss, the prince is resting on Concubine Shi's side tonight, Miss should rest early!" Xie Yuanxiu's maid persuaded loudly.
Xie Yuanxiu didn't respond to her, just leaned against the window alone and was sad, since she knew that Xiao Moheng had gone to Shi Qingzao's residence, she couldn't stop tears from flowing in her eyes. Before Shi Qingzao married into the palace, although there were some concubines in the palace, Xiao Moheng rested in her courtyard almost every night except for being alone. Such days went on for many years.
But since Shi Qingzao came, the prince has been on her side at least ten days a month. was originally the pet of the special room, but now she has been divided in half, how can she not feel uncomfortable. What's more, Xiao Moheng has been in Jingkou for a while, and he will rest there when he comes back, and Xie Yuanxiu's heart is even more jealous. The more I thought about the tears, the more they kept cutting and sorting out.
When Xiao Moheng stepped into the Pianruo Xuan where Xie Yuanxiu lived, what he saw was the scene of a beautiful woman crying and sad autumn alone.
Mingwu is like him, how can he not know why Xie Yuanxiu is sad. When he was in the house, he didn't like to take his entourage with him, so he stepped into the courtyard door alone and was not discovered by Xie Yuanxiu. It wasn't until he slowly walked into the room that Xie Yuanxiu's girl was surprised and surprised to find him, and hurriedly saluted: "Lord Wang!" Then he quietly withdrew.
Xie Yuanxiu turned around and found Xiao Moheng, who was looking at her with a chuckle in a white shirt, she couldn't hold back any longer, and threw herself straight into his arms.
Even crying and laughing, she said coquettishly: "Lord Wang, Xiu'er thought you wouldn't be here tonight!" These days are outside, and the prince must have suffered! As soon as she remembered that he was going to Jingkou to appease the homeless, she was worried that he would not eat or sleep well.
"Silly girl, you see I'm not good!" Xiao Moheng smiled dotingly, then looked a little stern, and continued: "Out of Xiu, you are the earliest concubine in my mansion, you and Qingzao take care of the affairs in the mansion together, the two help each other, she doesn't understand you teach more, I don't want anything bad in the house, do you understand?" ”
Xie Yuanxiu got up from his arms when he heard this, looked at him softly, understood the meaning of Xiao Moheng's words, nodded and said: "Don't worry, Xiu'er still understands things, and she will not be so petty in the future, so that the prince will be distracted." Sister Zao'er is generous, steady and decent, and the whole house likes her very much, Xiu'er will definitely work together with her to share the prince's worries! ”
Xie Yuanxiu is very well-behaved, she has been by Xiao Moheng's side for many years, and she knows very well in her heart that what he wants is a peaceful and worry-free palace, only by making him feel at ease and comfortable, and only by doing what he wants her to do, can she firmly grasp his heart.
Xiao Moheng listened to her words, and his heart softened a little, fortunately, the women around him were knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous. In this way, he can worry less about dim sum and deal with court affairs with peace of mind.
"Xiu'er, I'm going to the study tonight to deal with important matters, you rest first, and come to see you tomorrow." Xiao Moheng gently stroked away her tears with her hand, and her tenderness was infinite.
Xie Yuanxiu finally held back her tears, and just looked at him affectionately, "Xiu'er understands, the prince should be careful of his body!" Then he took a dark cloak and helped him tie it. Ready to send him out.
Xiao Moheng stopped her steps, "The night is heavy, you don't have to send it!" Go and rest! Then he turned and left. Xie Yuanxiu still couldn't help but lean against the door and look at his back, until his dark back disappeared, and then went back to the room to rest.
However, Xiao Moheng did not go to the study, but went out through the side door, got into a carriage that had been waiting outside, and hurried to the city with the people in the car.
