The sun was about to set, and it was getting dark.

Du Hengshuang used all his strength to remove himself from Xiao Shiji's lips.

"It's getting dark, and the gates are going to be closed." Du Hengshuang took a step back.

Xiao Shiji looked at Du Hengshuang, lowered his head and kissed her smooth forehead, without any thoughts or desires, but simply kissed it comfortingly.

Du Hengshuang turned his head and said in a low voice: "Let's go, I want to go home." ”

Xiao Shihe said "um", turned around, carried Du Hengshuang on his back, and walked down the mountain step by step.

His horses were still grazing leisurely in the grass below the mountain.

Xiao Shiji took Du Hengshuang on the horse, galloped all the way, and finally entered the city before closing the city gate.

Back at the Du family's old house, Xiao Shihe was reluctant, but Du Hengshuang turned his head not to look at him, came to the corner gate alone, called to open the door and walked in.

The corner door closed in front of Xiao Shiji.

Xiao Shiji smiled, turned around and got on the horse, and went back to his home.

Ou Yangniang and Zhishu were waiting anxiously in the inner courtyard, and when they heard that Mrs. was back, they hurriedly greeted them.

Du Hengshuang walked to the courtyard and looked at the house here, still a little hesitant.

To be honest, she is not familiar with this old mansion of the Du family. She has lived in Chang'an, Jingzhao Yin Mansion, the Xiao family's old mansion, and the Zhu Guohou Mansion, which is the old residence of the Du family, which has always been just a place for her to rest.

Now it's her home.

It's a wonderful thing.

Du Hengshuang also smiled and walked into his room.

"Madame, do you want to have dinner?" Zhishu hurriedly asked.

Ou Yangniang also said: "The children have all eaten, and now they are taking a bath." ”

Du Hengshuang nodded. She was also exhausted, "Let's set up dinner, I'll take a shower after eating." ”

After Du Hengshuang finished eating dinner, he took a comfortable hot bath.

Lying on the bed, she fell asleep almost as soon as she touched the pillow, and there was no time to grieve.

When people are extremely tired, only the bed and pillow are the love of life.

After that, Xiao Shiji thought that Du Hengshuang had just returned to Chang'an, and there were many things to do, and they didn't push too hard. It's just that I come by every once in a while to take a look. Take Brother Ping and Sister An out for a walk.

Brother Yang was too young to take him out of the city together, so he was so anxious that he cried every time he saw Xiao Shi and his brothers and sisters go out. Later, Du Hengshuang couldn't do anything. I had to make it clear to Xiao Shihe. When he came, he would send a letter first, and she would take Brother Yang elsewhere first. Just don't let him see Xiao Shihe and take Brother Ping and Sister An away.

Xiao Shi responded, so he sent Xiao Yi to deliver a letter every time, and by the way, he saw if they needed help.

Xiao Yi is the head of the Xiao family, and it must be something else to ask him to run errands and deliver letters.

Du Hengshuang didn't know what to do, he had never seen Xiao Yi, and he didn't allow his family to have too much contact with Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi complained to Xiao Shiji, "Madame is really hard-hearted, no matter how you cover it, you can't cover it hot......"

Xiao Shiji scolded him, "It's just to send a letter, what else do you want?" Do you want her to meet her right away?! - You're more beautiful than I thought......"

Xiao Yi smiled and continued to be an errand runner between the two.

Du Hengshuang was busy buying New Year's goods, and at the same time handed a post to the palace, to thank Emperor Yongchang, of course, the implication was to receive the honor guard of Mrs. Qin.

When Emperor Yongchang heard that Du Hengshuang had returned to Chang'an, he was still a little angry, so he deliberately pressed her post and dragged it out.

Du Hengshuang waited for more than a month, and she was in the wax moon, but there was still no news in the palace, she couldn't sit still, so she handed a post to Concubine De and asked to see Concubine Yin De.

Concubine Yin De quickly let her enter the palace.

The two have not seen each other for a long time, and when they meet again, they are both a little emotional.

Concubine Yin De is now back to her exclusive life, but she is still not pregnant, so she can't help but be a little depressed.

Mu Guifei has a big belly and is becoming more and more arrogant in the palace. Because she was pregnant, her mother's family was also restored, and her eldest brother became the marquis, and specially took back Mu Guifei's mother-in-law, that is, the eldest lady of the old Mu Hou. The eldest lady Shi was originally redeemed by her brother, but now her concubine is the marquis, and this concubine is still brought up by her, of course, she is justifiably returning to Muhou Mansion to be the old feudal monarch.

Muhou Mansion is Concubine Yin De's sworn enemy, but now he is watching the other party make a comeback, not to mention Du Hengshuang, even Concubine Yin Defei is very depressed.

Of course, now that the two have been frustrated by men, and gradually the city is getting deeper, they have never spoken as frankly in front of each other as before.

Du Hengshuang persuaded Concubine Yin De: "Don't worry, as long as Mu Guifei can get pregnant, Niangniang is younger than her and has a better body, so she will definitely be able to conceive." ”

Concubine Yin De said worriedly: "You can't say that. In the palace for so many years, she is pregnant alone, which is a complete blessing, which is something that no one else can ask for. ”

"The same cannot be said. It's better to ask my sister to check the pulse of the mother and see what she can use to supplement her body, maybe there is a better chance. After Du Hengshuang finished speaking, he asked tentatively: "This time, I was gracious to His Majesty and sealed the Lady of Qin, and I specially gave His Majesty a Chen watch of thanks, it has been a month, and His Majesty still doesn't seem to have heard back, and I don't know if Lu Dao has seen my Chen Biao." ”

Concubine Yin De heard a little about this, so she said implicitly: "Your Majesty has been in a bad mood recently, I think it's delayed, Mrs. Qin don't worry, Lingnan Metropolitan Governor Feng Pei Dun just came to Chang'an a few days ago, and also sent a post into the palace, Your Majesty said that it will be sealed together, and then Mrs. will probably be sealed with the family of the Lingnan Metropolitan Governor." ”

Du Hengshuang was stunned for a moment, and she didn't know why Concubine Yin De deliberately talked about the governor of Lingnan, but she also knew that Concubine Yin De mentioned this person, and she definitely didn't say it casually.

"Lingnan Metropolitan Governor Feng Pei Dun? This man is rarely heard. Du Hengshuang smiled, "Is his family going to seal the fate?" ”

"Yes, he only returned to Daqi last year, and Madame hasn't sealed it yet. However, he is also powerful, this time, even his second room has to be sealed. As she spoke, Concubine Yin Defei glanced at Du Hengshuang meaningfully.

"Second room?" Du Hengshuang smiled and nodded: "It seems that only my son is good." Just make yourself a partial mother, please seal it, right? You have to seal your mother-in-law before you can ask your biological mother, and most of the governors have a deep affection for these two rooms, I don't know where these two rooms are sacred? ”

Concubine Yin De covered her sleeves and smiled: "Speaking of which, it is also an acquaintance of you and me, and a relative of the noble concubine......

Du Hengshuang's mind chuckled, and he suddenly remembered someone: "You mean, Mu Yelai?" ”

"Exactly." Concubine Yin Defei was full of smiles, "Your Majesty also told me in person yesterday that this Mu Ye came from the surname Zhao Mu Jiu. Now his mother's family is a marquis again. It's a pity that she succumbed to being a concubine, and said that she would raise her well and make up for her. ”

Du Hengshuang laughed along. While pondering how to respond.

In fact, as long as Mu Yelai is not entangled with Xiao Shihe. Du Hengshuang really didn't have any thoughts about her. Not to mention getting rid of her as soon as possible. In her opinion, the only contradiction between her and Mu Yelai is Xiao Shiji.

Now Mu Yelai has made someone else's second room. In addition, Du Hengshuang also treated Mu Yelai ruthlessly back then, so when she heard the news that Mu Yelai had returned to Chang'an, she didn't have much anxiety and resentment.

However, she knew that Concubine Yin De had no good impression of Mu Yelai, or even the entire Muhou Mansion. Because she was driven out of Lu by Mu Guifei during the primary election, and later after leaving the palace, Mu Hou Mansion continued to chase after her, and wanted to get rid of her quickly, if it wasn't for Du Hengshuang to save her, Concubine Yin De really didn't know where she would fall, let alone be a mother like this.

Therefore, Du Hengshuang couldn't show his disapproving thoughts in front of Concubine Yin De, so he was very surprised and said, "It's actually her?!" However, the prince ...... Didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once say that he would give it to Xiao Shi and make a second room? How did you become the second room of the Metropolitan Governor of Lingnan? ”

Concubine Yin Defei knew that Du Hengshuang begged to leave the court because of this matter, so she sneered and said, "You still don't understand this? Isn't it just that I dislike that Counselor Xiao was demoted at that time, and I was disappointed......"

When Du Hengshuang begged to leave the court, Xiao Shiji's position was already in jeopardy. In addition, Xiao Shiji refused to accept the order and join the heir, and also rejected the prince's proposal, and refused to accept Mu Ye to be the second room, which made Emperor Yongchang and the prince furious and demoted him to an unpopular city gate official.

Du Hengshuang thought of this turmoil, sighed and shook his head, "It's all a mistake, I can't blame others." However, now that she is married, it seems that the Governor of Feng Dadu is not bad to her, just live a good life, just don't come out and harm others again. ”

Concubine Yin Defei sneered and said, "If she knows how to do it, she can be regarded as an understanding person." But when she entered the palace yesterday and saw her sister Guifei Niangniang, the two of them drove everyone else away, and the sisters chirped crookedly and didn't know what good things they were talking about. When they see me, they are like black-eyed chickens, eager to eat me raw! ”

Du Hengshuang understood that it was not easy for Concubine Yin De to be alone in the palace, and persuaded her with a smile: "Niangniang, don't pay attention to that foolish person." To say something unpleasant, if she wants to be unrestrained, it will be really self-inflicted and she will not be able to live. The mother is bothered by that kind of person. ”

Concubine Yin De was angry, made a left-handed offense, gritted her teeth and whispered: "Mrs. Qin Guo, I will hand it over to you, I know that you also have a grudge against Mu Yelai, why don't we ......" made a gesture to Du Hengshuang.

Du Hengshuang was the only one with three children at the moment, and she didn't dare to act recklessly as before, so she hurriedly pressed Concubine Yin's hand and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, be careful that the wall has ears." Besides, she is the concubine of the foreign minister, and there are not many opportunities to enter the palace in the future. If the mother is unhappy, you can tell Prince Yi and Princess Yi, Princess Yi is more capable than me, and she will be able to help her vent her anger. ”

However, speaking of Prince Yi and Princess Murong Lanzhou, Concubine Yin De said with a somewhat envious tone: "You still don't know the way, right?" Princess Yi is pregnant again, and Prince Yi's baby is very good, and he has a baby at home every day. ”

Du Hengshuang was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Then I really have to go and congratulate." ”

Coming out of the palace, Du Hengshuang had a bottom in his heart, and first took a generous gift to Prince Yi's mansion.

When Prince Yi and Princess Murong Lanzhou saw her coming, they were very affectionate, came to see her in person, and pulled her to talk for a long time.

Du Hengshuang looked at Prince Yi's emaciated face and slightly bulging belly, and said with a smile: "The princess is really blessed, this second child, I think it's a kid again." ”

Prince Yi was a little disappointed and said, "I actually want a daughter more." "Now that she has a son, she wants to have both children.

Du Hengshuang followed: "Of course, it may also be a daughter." It is possible that the child is not born. "Prince Yi is happy again.

After the two exchanged pleasantries. Let's talk about the things in the palace.

Du Hengshuang said the addition, subtraction and subtraction of Yin Defei's complaints.

Princess Yi lowered her head to drink tea, and then said with a smile: "...... Actually, it's a blessing not to be able to conceive in the palace. ”

Du Hengshuang smacked his tongue, but he didn't dare to think about it, he just said: "That's what I said, but others can give birth, but I can't give birth to myself, this anger is quite uncomfortable." Concubine De and Mu Hou Mansion really seem to have a grudge in their previous life, so the concubine won't talk about it, even Mu Ye came. I also found a big backer for myself. ”

Prince and Princess Yi already knew what to do. Seeing that Du Hengshuang took the initiative to mention it, he secretly looked at her and deliberately asked, "Aren't you angry?" ”

Du Hengshuang snorted, "What am I angry about?" She became a concubine. And it's not Xiao Shiji's concubine. I'm going to send her a gift. Congratulations to her for getting what she wanted. "The person who is determined to be a little wife and climb high branches has finally achieved his wish, of course, he has to celebrate and celebrate......

"You're really a narrow ......," Princess Yi chuckled, mentioning Du Hengshuang. The original wife of the governor of Feng Dadu is the daughter of Lingnan Tusi, and it is said that she is noble at home, and she is no worse than the princess. She has a son who is only five years old. And Feng Dadu has a lot of favors, and the concubines and concubines are full, but this time, he only brought his original wife Shao Shi, the eldest son, and the second wife Mu Ye to come to Chang'an to face the saint together. I also heard that ......" Princess Yi paused, "Mu Yelai is already pregnant. The governor promised her that when she gave birth to a son, she would ask her to marry the Shaw family. ”

Du Hengshuang was not surprised by Mu Ye's means of entrapping men, but he was surprised that Prince Yi was well-informed.

"The prince is really powerful, he has been quiet all these years, and he has done a lot of things." Du Hengshuang is meaningful.

Princess Yi was overjoyed when she heard this, and couldn't help but take Du Hengshuang's hand and said, "Yes, his ability is only understood by those who really value him." Do you know that our prince ...... "couldn't hold it for a while, and said good things about Prince Yi to Du Hengshuang for almost half an hour.

Du Hengshuang listened quietly, very envious of the mutual affection between Prince Yi and Prince Yi, as well as the tacit understanding and trust between them.

However, the two of them are so good, but there are still side concubines at home.

Du Hengshuang couldn't help but ask: "Princess, why is there such a deep affection between the prince and you, why is there still ......?"

"You said those side concubines and concubines?" Prince Yi waved her hand disapplausively, "They are nothing. The two side concubines of our prince were personally accepted by me for him. ”

"Huh?" Du Hengshuang was very surprised, "Why is this?" She also thought that Prince Yi was more lustful......

"I won't tell you, I'm weak, I'm often sick, I can't serve the prince, I can't bear to let the prince drag me down, so I take the initiative to take a concubine for the prince."

"The prince is going to do it?" Du Hengshuang was surprised, she remembered that when she first got married, she was also reluctant to have sex with Xiao Shihe, and she also wanted to give Xiao Shihe a concubine, but Xiao Shiji would rather endure it than have a concubine.

They also had such a beautiful time......

"What's there to excuse this?" Prince Yi laughed, "I didn't mean to test him." If I didn't want to, I wouldn't have taken a concubine for him. While saying that she is willing to pretend to be generous, she complains that men don't have the same heart as you, what does it mean to be such a woman? ”

Du Hengshuang said curtly: "...... You can't blame women for that, right? Many people have to accept the fact that their husbands take concubines, and they are not willing. But not everyone has such a mind like the princess. Du Hengshuang knew that she had confidence, so she could leave. But many women are not as confident as her, so they have to compromise.

Men just know that most women will compromise, so they are getting more and more inches.

Murong Lanzhou thought for a while and said, "You have a point. Everyone's situation is different. Like me, I really don't think it's a big deal. No matter how many concubines Erlangna has, his heart is always with me. I absolutely believe in him. ”

Du Hengshuang looked at Murong Lanzhou silently and admired her courage. It was an all-or-nothing gamble, and luckily she won.

Coming out of Prince Yi's mansion, Du Hengshuang took the car home, passing by the Xiao family's mansion on the way, looking at a few big cars parked at the door, it didn't look like a car from Chang'an.

She glanced at it curiously, didn't ask more, and asked Chambers to drive back.

And the Xiao family's guest today is none other than Mu Yelai, the second room of the Lingnan Metropolitan Governor Feng Pei Dun.
