At this time, it was almost dusk, and the wind and snow were getting heavier.

Zhao Guangyi recalled the sweetness of being with Mrs. Hua Rui, and always felt that it was not enjoyable, but Madame Hua Rui returned to the dormitory and never came out again, and I was afraid that I would not see her for a month or two, so I couldn't help but feel very lost, so I thought of Leng Yi's portrait, and called Leng Yi at the moment and asked, "Have you ever drawn the scene where I and Madame Hua Rui are together?" ”

Leng Yi bowed and said: "I didn't make arrangements in advance, so Weichen didn't paint it." ”

Zhao Guangyi didn't expect that Mrs. Hua Rui didn't refuse his intimacy when he went to the back garden with Mrs. Hua Rui, and later he didn't expect that Madame Hua Rui would offer to talk to him in the Buddhist hall, nor did he refuse his intimacy, so neither of these places arranged for Leng Yi to peep at the portrait in secret, and now, Madame Hua Rui will not come again, and she is very annoyed that she miscalculated and did not arrange it in time. After hearing Leng Yi say this, he could only sigh and said, "Give me the painting tools, maybe you won't need them in a month or two." ”

"Yes!" Leng Yi took out his mobile phone from his arms and handed it to Zhao Guangyi with both hands.

Zhao Guangyi pulled up the photo of Mrs. Hua Rui and looked at it blankly.

At this time, I heard the voice of the child at the door: "Father! Concubine De and I came to see you! ”

When Zhao Guangyi heard it, it was the voice of his youngest son Zhao Yuanjie, who was only six years old (his name was Zhao Dehe at the time, and he later changed his name to his current name, for the convenience of narration, he used the later name, and other people who changed their names were also treated in the same way), and hurriedly put the mobile phone into his arms and said to Leng Yi: "You step down!" ”

Leng Yi hurriedly bowed and bowed, and withdrew. When I got to the door, I saw Concubine Li Dejie coming in with Zhao Yuanjie's little hand, and hurriedly bowed down: "Weichen meets Concubine De Niangniang and meets the five princes!" ”

Concubine Li Defei bowed slightly and returned the salute, but the fifth prince Zhao Yuanjie was so stabbed that he didn't seem to see him, let go of Concubine Li De's hand, and trotted over and threw himself into Zhao Guangyi's arms: "Father!" Concubine De took her retainers to build a snowman, which was fun! ”

Zhao Guangyi stroked his little head lovingly, and touched his little hand again: "It's so cold, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?" ”

"It's okay!"

Zhao Guangyi held his son Zhao Yuanjie's small hand in his thick palm, and said to Concubine Li De: "Look at your nose is red from the cold." ”

Concubine Li Defei smiled: "It's a heavy snowfall, it looks like it's going to be bigger at night." Now it's windy, and it might turn into a blizzard. ”

Zhao Guangyi nodded: "With such a snowstorm, I don't know how many people are going to freeze again." - Wang Jien! ”

Wang Jien, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "The old slave is here." ”

"Spread my will, let Kaifeng Mansion Yin Zhao Tingmei immediately inspect the capital, and give homeless and poor families, each household will send a bed of cotton wool and a bucket of white noodles. Let the Home for the Elderly immediately adopt all the homeless and lonely elderly people in the city into the hospital, and treat the sick in time. ”

"The old slave obeys!" Wang Jien bowed down and took the order.

Concubine Li Defei smiled and said: "The official family loves the people like sons, and the people feel the same holy grace." ”

Zhao Guangyi smiled: "It should be." ”

Zhao Yuanjie looked up and said: "Today, my father seems to be very happy, I have never seen my father so happy before." ”

Concubine Li Defei also looked at Zhao Guangyi with a smile: "Yes, the official family is saying that Buze is kind today, which must be the reason for the good mood." ”

Zhao Guangyi said: "Yes, today I can send the portrait of the first emperor to Nanke Temple for worship, which can be regarded as understanding a matter of my heart." ”

"Nanke Temple is a royal temple, the concubine Niangniang and the eldest princess of Yongguo are here to lead the practice, it is time to repair it, and now I see it, the flowers and trees in the backyard are also luxuriant, but there is a lack of people who trim it. Presumably, the mother and the princess are diligent in cultivation and have no time to take care of these. ”

"Exactly, it's time to find a good florist to take care of it."

Zhao Yuanjie pouted and said, "It's not fun here at all, it's suffocating." Father, when are we going back? ”

Concubine De hurriedly said: "Your father still has something to do, so he can only go back tomorrow." ”

Zhao Yuanjie said to Concubine De: "Then let my father accompany the concubine here, let's go back?" ”

Zhao Guangyi was very embarrassed and had a calm face. Concubine De hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

Concubine De's words were a little harsh, Zhao Yuanjie was a little scared, and he wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry.

At this time, the attendant outside the door came in and reported: "Qi Qi official's house, Da Ji beauty Niangniang asks to see." ”

Zhao Guangyi frowned and said, "What is she here for?" ”

Concubine Li Defei said: "Maybe there's something, right?" ”

"Isn't she getting into trouble enough? Still bothered? Missing! ”

"Yes!" The squire went out to reply.

Zhao Yuanjie looked at Zhao Guangyi and said, "Don't be angry with your father, Da Ji Niangniang will upset your father, and your sons will be angry for your father!" ”

Concubine Li Defei hurriedly said: "You are not allowed to mess around!" ”

"I'm not messing around! I wanted to go out and play, and I was suffocated. ”

Concubine De asked the palace maid next to her: "Go and call the second prince and take the fifth prince to play for a while." ”

"Yes!" The palace maid agreed to go out and left.

After a while, the second prince, Zhao Yuanxi, came in slowly. Years ago, he was almost pinched by Xiao Zhouhou, and he lay in bed for more than a month, and sat in a wheelchair for two months before he could barely move.

After coming in, he bowed and saluted: "Erchen to meet his father, meet Concubine De Niangniang!" ”

Zhao Guangyi frowned and looked at him: "Where have you been all this day?" ”

"Erchen was unwell and didn't go out, only studying in the house."

Zhao Guangyi's expression eased slightly: "That's very good, you can take your fifth brother to play for a while." I spoke to Concubine De. ”

"Son-in-law! - Yuan Jie, let's go, let's go build a snowman! ”

Zhao Yuanjie twisted his body: "I don't, it's been piled up all afternoon, and I'm cold to death." It's not fun, I want to go back. ”

Zhao Yuanxi came over, took his hand and said, "Then let's go find the eldest princess of the Lu Kingdom, she has a lot of fun bugs or something." ”

Zhao Yuanjie's eyes immediately lit up: "Okay!" "I followed Zhao Yuanxi out.

Concubine Li Defei smiled, turned her head to the palace maids and said, "You all stand down!" ”

Several palace maids agreed and withdrew. Close the door.

Concubine Li De said to Zhao Guangyi: "The official family stays in Nanke Temple, but I am afraid that the courtiers will know about it and there will be some discussions." ”

Zhao Guangyi snorted and said, "What are you afraid of?" When I succeeded to the throne, was there less discussion? I've sent him a dozen, and there's nothing to talk about now? ”

Concubine Li Defei smiled reluctantly: "That is different from the current thing. The official family of the heir to the throne was inherited in accordance with the decree of the Empress Dowager's Jinkui Covenant, although the Jinkui Covenant was lost, at least Zhao Dezhao himself knew about it. There are also Tingmei and Zhao Pu, and they all know it. The official family is justified. But now, Hua Rui Niangniang is the concubine of the first emperor, and it is okay to send the portrait of the first emperor, but it is not appropriate to stay in the temple. If the official family wants to plant flowers and plants, they can also come after dawn. This also avoids gossip. ”

Of course, Zhao Guangyi knew that this would avoid gossip, but what he was worried about was that once he left the temple, it would be difficult to come in again, because Madame Hua Rui had already made it clear that he could not kiss her unless Jin Mingchi started construction. In other words, it will be at least two months before you see Madame Blossom again. Of course, Mrs. Hua Rui also said that if she asked Zhao Guangyi to do something, and the matter was done, she could let Zhao Guangyi make love to her once. But who knows when Madame Blossom will have something to ask him for? Therefore, he must take every opportunity to get close to Madame Blossom, which is why he insists on staying.

Zhao Guangyi turned his head to look at Concubine Li De, "I'm not afraid of gossip, if I'm afraid, I won't come." "You didn't use this as an excuse to persuade me because you weren't happy with me taking care of the flower lady, right?"

Jealousy is against women's morality, when Concubine Li De heard this, she quickly got up and gave a blessing: "The concubine doesn't dare, the concubine is just thinking about the official family." Please be wise! ”

"Besides, aren't you there? So many concubines are accompanying me in this temple, and it's not just me and Hua Rui Niangniang, who can say anything gossip? ”

"What the official family said is that the concubines are too worried."

"Sit down! I know you're thinking about me, and I'm just a joke. ”

Concubine Li Defei was blessed again, and then sat down.

Zhao Guangyi said: "I know the identity of Concubine Hua Rui, and I will not do anything against the norm." It is precisely because Hua Rui is the concubine of the first emperor, and the first emperor is gone, that I have to care for her more. She loves peonies and red gardenias, so I must wait until the weather is warm and I will plant these flowers myself. ”

Concubine Li Defei naturally knew what her husband was thinking, so she smiled reluctantly and said, "The official family loves the flower stamen and concubine, and the first emperor will be very pleased with the spirit of the sky." ”

Zhao Guangyi grinned: "That's as it should be." The first emperor's beauty Da Ji mutilated the palace maids around her, and threw more than a dozen palace maids alive into the Tiger Mountain to feed the tigers. She was not even punished in any way, nor did she let outsiders know that she had done evil. This is all because of her love for serving the first emperor for many years! ”

"The official family treats people kindly, which is also her blessing. It's just that this Daji beauty is flying and domineering, and she doesn't get along well with the concubines in the palace, if she doesn't punish her at all, I'm afraid that other concubines will know about it and there will be discussions. ”

Zhao Guangyi frowned: "Why do you always care what others say?" I am the king of a country, and if I always care about what others say, then how can I do things? You must know that everything cannot satisfy everyone, and there will be gossip. Those who achieve great things are not informal! ”

Concubine Li Defei hurriedly bowed and said: "The official family has learned a lesson." The concubine is a woman's opinion, disturbing the thoughts of the official, and asking for forgiveness. ”

Zhao Guangyi said: "What you said is not unreasonable. Da Ji beauty is very domineering, some time ago, I received a report, saying that she beat the palace maid and beat two of them to death. Another palace maid named Dai Qin, who was beaten to death by her, said that she was dead, and fortunately woke up in time when she was sent out to prepare for burial. When Da Ji learned about it, she asked the palace maid to go back. said that since she pretended to be dead, he would fulfill her and beat her to death. After I learned about it, I sent Wang Jien to pass on my message and let her cherish the surname of the palace people. Only then did she let go of the palace maid. ”

"The official family is doing well, and if necessary, you must let her know the severity."

"Yes, she also obeyed me, not only spared this palace maid, but also asked the imperial doctor to treat her injuries. This time, she brought it to the temple on purpose, just to let me know that she had changed. ”

Concubine Li Defei said: "The country is easy to change, and the surname is difficult to change. She's just putting on a show for the officials. ”

"I know." Zhao Guangyi turned his face to look out the window, it was already dusk, "I still have something to do, you go back and rest first!" ”

Concubine Li Defei hurriedly bowed down and agreed, got up and said goodbye and left.

Zhao Guangyi called Wang Jien in and asked him to invite Mrs. Hua Rui to accompany him to dinner. Wang Jien went out, and came back after a long time, bowed down and said, "Back to the official's house, Hua Rui Niangniang refused to come." ”

Zhao Guangyi was very disappointed: "What did she say?" ”

Niangniang said that she had already told the official family, unless the good things told the official family were done, otherwise, please don't disturb her Qing Xiu. Don't tell her about such things as accompanying you to dinner, she won't come. ”

Zhao Guangyi was very frustrated.

Wang Jien smiled and said, "Official, do you want to invite Lord Leng Yileng to try it?" He may have a way to persuade the concubine to come to dinner with the official's house. ”

"That's right!" Zhao Guangyi said: "Call Leng Yi in!" ”

Wang Jien went out and called Leng Yi, who was waiting under the corridor, in.

Zhao Guangyi smiled and said: "Leng Aiqing, Wang Jien went to invite Hua Rui Niangniang to come over to talk to me or have dinner on behalf of me, but Niangniang didn't come, you can talk in front of Niangniang, and then invite her for me, how about it?" ”

Leng Yi bowed and said, "Weichen obeys the order." ”

Leng Yi came to Mrs. Hua Rui's bedroom and said to the big fool who was guarding the door: "As soon as the troublesome girl reported, she said that Weichen wanted to meet Niangniang and had important matters to discuss." ”

Dasha nodded, pushed the door and entered. After a while, he came out and said, "Niangniang, please let me in." ”

Leng Yi stepped in, and Dasha closed the courtyard door.

Leng Yi walked through the patio and came to the main hall. A door in the main hall was open, and Leng Yi stepped in, and saw Mrs. Hua Rui sitting on the soft collapse in the middle and looking at him.

Leng Yi turned around and closed the door and walked to Mrs. Hua Rui, who was still looking at him with a blank face.

Leng Yi said: "Hua Rui, the official family wants to invite you to ......"

"Wait!" Madame Hua Rui took out a bag from behind her, pulled it open, took out a human skin mask, and handed it to Leng Yi: "Put it on!" ”

This human skin mask is naturally Meng Chang's. After the two of them got together last time, they discussed putting this human skin mask here with Mrs. Hua Rui, and when Leng Yi came to meet her, she could wear this mask.

Leng Yi knew that what Mrs. Hua Rui liked was actually herself wearing a mask, that is, her dead husband Meng Chang, not her real self. Wearing a mask versus not wearing a mask is a very different attitude. I took it and put it on my face, without glue glue, because I was about to go out.

After Leng Yi put on the mask, the look in Mrs. Hua Rui's eyes immediately brightened, she patted the soft collapse, and said with affection: "Meng Lang, sit next to me." ”
