The prince's family is harmonious and happy, but the Jingwang Mansion is a different scene.

Nangong Fei, who stayed alone on the first day of marriage, stayed awake all night, and lasted until dawn in a daze. Before the hour arrived, Mianyi knocked lightly on the door of Nangong Fei's room: "Is the girl awake?" The slave maid made hot water and waited for the girl to wash. ”

"Come in." Nangong Fei yawned tiredly, and she pushed open the window, trying to take advantage of the coolness of the morning to make herself more sober. Unexpectedly, as soon as the scenery outside the window came into view, it almost aroused her sadness. "The autumn wind is bleak and the weather is cold, and the grass and trees are shaken and the dew is frost" [from Cao Pi's "Yan Ge Xing"] What a scene of late autumn depression! On the second day of her wedding, she saw such a decadent color when she opened her eyes, and she inevitably felt unlucky, so she immediately closed the window again.

Mianyi took the other two little maids into the house and put down the basin and cloth towel, and saw that Nangong Fei's face was not good, so she condoled with concern: "The girl's face is terrible, did she not sleep well last night?" "The newlywed prince did not return overnight, and it must be impossible for any bride to fall asleep soundly.

"It's fine. Is the prince back? "King Jing entered the palace last night and didn't send a little servant back to report the news, so Nangong Fei sat stupidly all night. It's not that she's not sad, but she's confident that the night won't go on like this!

"It's back! The prince is also a house that has just arrived. Does the girl want to see the prince? Slave maid to report? Mianyi handed the soaked cloth towel to Nangong Fei, who took it and carefully scrubbed his face and hands.

Nangong Fei thought for a while and shook his head: "There is no need to report. The prince must have not had breakfast when he returned home at this time, you can help me put on makeup and change clothes, and I will personally serve the prince for dinner. Without waiting for Mianyi to agree, Nangong Fei sat down in front of the dressing mirror and brushed his hair with a comb.

"Yes." Mianyi selected a set of pale pink smoky cloud butterfly snowflake dresses, a pair of long tassels of large eastern pearls and two high-quality pink pearl rings from the newly made costume jewelry, and a crystal pendant in the shape of a water drop hanging from the forehead is the finishing touch. Ling matched a pair of orchid bud-shaped earrings for Nangong Fei to wear. Dressed up like this, Nangong Fei is also a beautiful woman.

Nangong Fei, who had sorted out his appearance, swept away the decline of last night, and his whole person became radiant again. The master and servant hurried to the main courtyard where King Jing was.

When Nangong Fei arrived, Duan Yuhua was already having breakfast, and the personal little tiger stripes were waiting on the side.

"The concubine asks for peace to the prince." Nangong Feishi Shi Ran saluted.

When Duan Yuhua heard the word "concubine", the hand holding the spoon trembled slightly, and he immediately adjusted his state and said, "No need to be polite." You haven't eaten it yet, have you? Let's use some together. Tiger stripes, serve a bowl of porridge to the Nangong girl. The tiger stripes did everything neatly, and Mianyi helped Nangong Fei to sit down.

Nangong Fei was happy in her heart, thinking that the prince was finally willing to face her, and invited her to eat at the same table! But I heard Duan Yuhua immediately say: "This king has eaten well, and he will serve your girl well." Tiger stripes, prepare horses, this king wants to go out. Duan Yuhua deliberately avoided Nangong Fei, and the more he faced her, the more guilt he felt in his heart.

Nangong Fei's heart immediately fell to the bottom again: "Is the prince going out again when he comes back?" Does the prince plan to hide from his concubine for the rest of his life? Nangong Fei threw down the spoon in his hand, and the sound of the porcelain spoon hitting the table was particularly crisp in this quiet early dynasty.

Duan Yuhua was stopped by her questioning, he turned around and said in a calm tone: "Nangong, if you are still the king of Nangong who is dedicated to dancing in the Man Dance Division, he will naturally not hide from you. But what have you done now? You asked this king to borrow the piano and stiffen the jade pendant to this king, right? It's just to let this king accompany you to play a good show at the dinner. How dare you use your own marriage events to design this king? ”

"Is it wrong for a concubine to love the prince?" Nangong Fei asked with tears in her eyes, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her. Duan Yuhua has been widowed for many years and has not married, and she is also Yunying unmarried, why can't such two people be together? It's just that she didn't calculate it thoroughly, Duan Yuhua didn't like her at all!

"There is nothing wrong with loving someone, but it is wrong to possess someone by trickery." Duan Yuhua exposed his love bottom line to her.

"If the concubine doesn't do this, will the prince marry me?" Nangong Fei's tears finally couldn't be hung back, falling like pearls, looking very sad and pitiful. It's a pity that this kind of attitude is just a good show to win sympathy in Duan Yuhua's eyes.

"Nope! Even if you are now the king's concubine, the king will not really be married to you. After eating, go back to your Feiyan Courtyard, don't come to the main courtyard if you have nothing to do. Tiger stripes, go to the study with this king. Now that he had said that, there was no need for him to hide from her. He still has business to deal with, and he can't always worry about his children's personal affairs.

"Lord Wang, don't have a horse? Aren't you going out? "Tiger Stripes still wonder how the master changed his hexagram so quickly?

"What a lot of words!" Duan Yuhua glared at Tiger Stripes, who stuck out his tongue and followed behind his master in a gray manner.

After Duan Yuhua's back disappeared from sight, Nangong Fei cried and collapsed on the chair and overturned the pots and bowls on the table, venting all the grievances that had been held all night.

Recently, the Jingwang Mansion has been shrouded in low pressure, but the happy events in the palace are one after another.

On the third day after Duan Xin's birth, Duan Yingting held a small baptism ceremony for her daughter in Lintoe Palace. It is a very important ritual in ancient Chinese birth ceremonies. On the third day after the baby is born, a bathing ceremony is held, and relatives and friends are gathered to wish good luck for the baby, which is called "washing the three days", also known as "three times washing". The intention of "washing three" is, first, to wash away filth and eliminate disasters; The second is to pray for auspiciousness and seek good fortune. And this day happened to be the first birthday of the lord of the Thai royal family, so the brothers decided to hold the ceremony of the two babies together.

So just after lunch on the twenty-fifth day of August, the Thai king's family gathered in the Lintoe Palace; Amber's old master, Li Jingxi, carries the glass; Luo Zixiao and Wen Hao, who were friends of Yang Yiqing's boudoir, also brought Yingzhe and Xue Ning to Lintoe Palace to congratulate.

Li Jingxi and Caisheng's Wen Po washed Xiaoduan Xin together, which made the prince's family feel honored. Although Duan Xin is the eldest daughter of the crown prince, because she is a concubine, her status is not as good as Duan Mingzhu, so the emperor does not pay much attention to it and does not give her a title. Of course, this embarrassment will only last until the crown prince ascends the throne, and once Duan Yingting succeeds to the throne, Duan Xin will naturally become a princess, so no one cares about this temporary grievance.

After the three baptismal ceremonies, the Duanyingting brothers went to the main hall to count the congratulatory gifts and chat about current affairs, waiting for the dinner in the evening; And a group of women and children gathered in the inner sanctum to drink tea and talk.

"Amber, Hongu is really happy for you. Look at her, how soft and cute! Li Jingxi touched Duan Xin's little hand that was held in Amber's arms.

"All this is not thanks to the blessing of the mother. If it weren't for the mother's hard work, there would be no concubines today. Amber will never forget Lee's kindness to her.

"Don't say that, you are a blessed person who does not fall into the land of unblessed people." The Lintoe Palace will definitely be Amber's blessed land, and she doesn't know where her own blessed land is, but it is certainly not in this palace.

"If you want to say that you are blessed, no one can compare to Concubine Ke!" Wen Feng continued with his graceful words.

"How?" Seeing that Luo Zixiao shyly pulled Wen Feng's sleeve as if she didn't want her to talk too much, she was even more curious.

"Sister Luo, she was diagnosed with pregnancy again yesterday, and it has been more than a month! Do you think she's the most blessed? It's no wonder that Wen Hao said this, Luo Zixiao's favor has not been as good as before in the past year, and the emperor is rarely lucky. On the twelfth day of last month, I caught up with Luo Zixiao's birthday emperor and stayed overnight, and I got pregnant again in one night, which is really a blessing!

"Really? Can Concubine Ke inform the emperor? If this is the case, she has to be amazed at her good luck.

"Not yet, I'm planning to report to the saint." Although Luo Zixiao is already a mother, she is still shy when she talks about these private words.

"This is a good thing, what is there to hide, congratulations to Sister Ke Concubine." Only when you have your own children in the harem can you rely on her, Luo Zixiao has many sons and many blessings, and her curvaceous concubine is also happy for her.

"Thank you, Concubine Zhuang." Zixiao hugged his son and thanked him, his face was full of maternal brilliance.

"Concubine Ke is very happy, such a blessing can make me wait for it." Saying that, Xia Yunxi handed a cup of cheese to Luo Zixiao, she knew that pregnant women should not drink tea, and this happened to be the most suitable.

"What, the crown princess is envious? It's good to get the pregnant gas of the concubine and add another piece to the Lintoe Palace? Yang Yiqing, who has been with Duan Yingbi for a long time, has changed from being cold in the past, and now he has learned to make fun of people.

"Okay, you girl, how did you learn the same flamboyant tongue as your husband? Don't think I don't know that every time the King of Thailand comes to the prince, he complains that Yiqing refuses to give him another boy, and he is in a hurry to die! "The King of Thailand is the most fond of jokes, and as soon as Xia Yunxi said it, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

"Yikes! This idiot, how dare you talk nonsense outside! Look at me when I go back and don't teach him a good lesson! Yang Yiqing's cheeks flushed.

"My good princess, who made you angry again? Who are you going to teach this lesson? Duan Yingbi and the prince happened to come to invite the ladies to the dining room in person, and they happened to hear Yang Yiqing say that they wanted to teach people.

All the female relatives leaned forward and closed their backs with laughter, but Yang Yiqing glared at him several times with hatred, which made Duan Yingbi confused.

"She's amazing! She wants to go home and teach her husband a lesson! Xia Yun was quick to talk and joked with her brother-in-law and sister-in-law.

Duan Yingbi was neither embarrassed nor ashamed, and cheekily wrapped her arms around his beloved wife's shoulders and said, "It's easy to say, let's eat first, and wait until we go back to the palace for our husband and let the princess dispose of it!" ”

Duan Yingbi's witty words caused everyone to laugh again, and Yang Yiqing was so embarrassed that he couldn't avoid it, so he immediately twisted it towards her husband's waist. Duan Yingbi didn't cry out in pain, and hugged Yiqing tighter. Li Jingxi watched the interaction between the young couple and understood that this was a sign that the King of Thailand loved his wife very much, and she suddenly envied the King of Thailand and his wife.
