readx; Sent Yang Yuhuan home, when Li Qingan returned to the palace, it was already very late, at this time Li Qingan was still immersed in the aftertaste of that kiss, although he could not take the last step, but Yang Yuhuan's heart had been pushed open a narrow gap, Li Qingan knew that the last step was only a matter of time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The new palace will officially move tomorrow, tonight he still lives in the old mansion, he got out of the carriage, walked into the mansion quickly, just Pan Xiaoliang ran head-on, he saw Li Qing'an at once, frightened, wanted to kneel and felt inappropriate, stunned for a long time before hurriedly bowing and saluting: "Slave, no!" Pan Xiaoliang gave the prince a salute. ”

Li Qingan glanced at him strangely, but he didn't ask more, 'Hmm! With a sound, he walked directly into the inner house.

"The prince is back!"

A maid had already rushed back to the inner house to report, Mingyue greeted her, and said with a smile: "Da Lang, are you back?" ”

"Hmm!" Li Qingan walked into the inner hall and didn't see the picturesque, so he asked, "What about the picturesque?" Slept? ”

"I didn't sleep!"

Mingyue took off her coat for him and said with a smile: "She went to my mother's place to clean up for Mingzhu, she made a day's iced sour plum soup today, you sit down first to cool off, I'll bring it to you." ”

Mingyue was in a good mood tonight, she lowered her head and kissed her husband on the face, and then went inside.

Li Qing'an was still thinking about Yang Yuhuan in his heart, he decided not to tell Mingyue about this matter for the time being, at this time Mingyue personally brought a bowl of iced sour plum soup in, and said with a smile: "Your fourth lady likes to drink this kind of iced sour plum soup, today she was looking for an ice cellar in Xinfu, and she searched for a morning, and almost didn't kill her, but then she found it, and jumped up with joy, just like a child." ”

"She's always been very boyish."

Li Qingan took the sour plum soup with a smile and drank a big sip happily, the cold and heartfelt feeling made him feel hot and relaxed, and he praised repeatedly: "Not bad!" Not bad! Sure enough, it was very painful. ”

Li Qing'an drank the sour plum soup in one go, then let out a long breath, and asked with a smile at Mingyue, "You just said that Zhu is going to move here?" ”

"She moved to our new house, I went to the new house today, the house is too big, our family has a small population, more people live, and the house is a little more lively."

Mingyue glanced at Li Qing'an, and said with a smile: "If you don't want Mingzhu to come over, then I'll send someone to say it." ”

"I didn't say I wouldn't let her come, you just have to decide these things, where can I take care of it."

Li Qing'an's heart was quite unquiet tonight, he saw that his wife's eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and her beauty was abnormal, and he couldn't help but think of it in his heart, so he got up and took Mingyue's hand, and said with a smile: "Lady, it's late at night, let's rest!"

Mingyue blushed, pushed him away and said, "Go!" I was uneasy again. ”

Why Li Qing'an had too much strength, so he pulled her and didn't let go, so Mingyue had to half-push and half-push him into the inner room.

．．．．．．． After a few rounds of affection, and finally the clouds and rain stopped, Li Qingan turned over and lay down from Mingyue tiredly, although it was hot outside, there were ice cubes placed in the wall of their bedroom, which made the temperature in the room comfortable, and it didn't feel a little stuffy.

Mingyue lazily snuggled in her husband's arms, her face had not faded, and her husband's strength made her feel extremely satisfied tonight, and she whispered coquettishly: "Da Lang, what's wrong with you today?" ”

"I don't know, maybe it's because of the coolness in the room!"

"Hmm!" Mingyue answered, and whispered, "Da Lang, I want to tell you something." ”

"What's the matter, you can tell it!"

Mingyue sighed low and said, "Da Lang, I'm under a lot of pressure!" ”

Li Qingan smiled ambiguously: "Is it because I put too much pressure on you just now?" ”

"Nothing serious!"

Mingyue pushed her husband away, got up and put on her clothes, the two were lying naked together, how could they be serious, Mingyue put on her underwear, and lay next to her husband and said, "Are you listening to me?" ”

Li Qingan was already sleepy and almost asleep, and said vaguely: "Lady, let's talk about it tomorrow...."

Before he finished speaking, he fell asleep, Mingyue had no choice but to get out of bed and turn off the lights, but she couldn't sleep when she lay down.

When decorating the new house today, that Pan Xiaoliang inadvertently said a word, which made Mingyue's heart very shaken, and Li Qingan's concubine was a little out of order.

Although Li Qing'an's title is a prince, in fact, his etiquette specifications are all in accordance with the standards of the East Palace, which is the special approval of the Queen Mother and the Political Affairs Hall.

If according to the concubine etiquette system of the East Palace, then the number of Li Qing'an's internal officials should now be two Liangdi, six Liangyuan, ten Chenghui, sixteen Zhaoxun, and twenty-four Fengyi, plus the main concubine, then he should have fifty-nine concubines.

But in fact, Li Qingan only has four people, and he can't even compare with an ordinary official, especially those frontier officials who hold military power, which one does not have hundreds of wives and concubines, but her husband is the first real power figure in the Tang Dynasty, and he has power all over the world, but there are only four people, which will make the world laugh at him, and will make her Dugu Mingyue bear the reputation of a jealous woman.

And what makes Mingyue feel more pressure is that Li Qingan has only one son and one daughter so far, which has made the officers and soldiers of the Anxi Army quite dissatisfied with her, and all the officers and soldiers in the army think that this is the responsibility of the princess, which makes Mingyue feel huge pressure and worry.

It can't go on like this, the husband is the only descendant of Prince Jiancheng, if his heirs are weak, he will ruin his inheritance in the future, and he will have no face to face his ancestors in the future.

．．．．．．． The next day, before dawn, Li Qingan went out of the city to the barracks, and Mingyue simply put on makeup and got up to Pei's mansion.

Mingyue also has a good reason to go to Pei's house, a few days ago, Li Qing'an's sister-in-law Xiaolian gave birth to a boy to the Pei family, so she made a special trip to visit, Li Qing'an is busy with affairs, and she, as Xiaolian's mother's family, naturally has to be more diligent.

Of course, Mingyue went to Pei's Mansion today for another purpose, that is, for Pei Wan'er's business, Pei Wan'er and Li Qing'an already had a marriage contract, but because Pei Kuan died, the marriage was temporarily stopped, generally speaking, if the direct elders died, the younger generations had to keep filial piety for a year, and the marriage naturally could not be done, but Pei Wan'er's grandfather was Pei Zunqing, not Pei Kuan, so she didn't need to keep filial piety for a year, she only needed to keep nine hundred and eighty-one days, and she could get married.

What's more important is that Pei Zunqing sent Pei Wan'er's eight characters the day before yesterday, and this is the second time that he has sent it, that is, to remind Li Qingan that this marriage should be done.

Today, Mingyue came to Pei's Mansion, on the one hand, to visit Xiaolian, and on the other hand, to discuss the specific details of the marriage.

Mingyue came to Pei's house, and immediately a family welcomed her into the inner house, the mansions of the Pei family brothers are all together, and the houses in each house are connected by sandwich roads, Pei Yu is the eldest grandson of Pei Kuan, and the official worships the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and he also has a single-courtyard residence in Pei's house.

Today is the third day after Xiaolian gave birth, all kinds of messy and busy things at home have come to an end, and there are many fewer families who come to see the children, and the yard is very quiet.

"Princess Zhao is here!" When a maid saw her coming, she immediately reported it loudly.

I saw several young women running out of the house, one was Pei Wan'er, the other was Pei Yu, and the other two Mingyue were stunned, one was her sister Mingzhu, and the other was picturesque.

"Why are you here?" Mingyue asked in surprise.

Mingzhu pointed to the picturesque and said with a smile: "She wants to come to see Xiaolian, so I came with her." ”

"Then have you packed up your things, and you're going to move in the afternoon."

"I've already packed it up, I've already cleaned it up once last time, I can leave at any time, maybe I'll move in first!"

Mingyue poked her sister on the forehead and said with a smile: "You! Wherever it is lively, you must be indispensable. ”

"Sister, it's hot outside! Get inside quickly. Mingzhu smiled and pulled Mingyue to the house, at this time, Mingyue's eyes fell on Pei Wan'er, Pei Wan'er blushed, and hurriedly saluted: "See the princess!" ”

Mingyue stepped forward and took her hand and said with a smile: "Don't be so polite, we are cousins, won't we see the princess when we call it?" ”

Pei Wan'er shouted in a low voice: "Cousin! ”

"That's right, we're moving to a new house in the afternoon, so you can go with us! Check it out. ”

Pei Wan'er nodded slightly, and Mingyue said to Pei Yu again: "Xiaoyu, you can go with you too!" ”

"I'm going to accompany my sister-in-law, let's go next time!"

At this time, Xiaolian's voice came from the house, "Is the sister-in-law here?" Come in, please. ”

Mingyue walked into the room, the room was dimly lit, the doors and windows were closed, it was very stuffy, Xiaolian was lying on the bed, her face was still very haggard, her head was full of sweat beads, a maid sat aside, and kept wiping the sweat beads on her face with a wet towel.

Mingyue couldn't help but sigh secretly, giving birth to a child in summer is the most painful, confinement is really a torment, she hurriedly stepped forward and sat down, held Xiaolian's hand and said softly: "How do you feel now?" ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law, it's good to have a baby, but the confinement is uncomfortable, it's too hot."

"There's no way, women have to go through this hurdle, just get through it."

Next to Mingzhu muttered: "I don't want to have children in the future!" ”

Mingyue glared at her and said, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person." ”

Mingzhu didn't dare to say anything, Pei Wan'er smiled on the side: "Although the confinement is very uncomfortable, thinking that my child can be born safely, I think that no matter how big the pain is, I will be willing." ”

Mingyue nodded secretly, this Pei Wan'er is very good at talking, and her sister Mingzhu is a little fool, but this Pei Wan'er is much smarter.

At this time, a maid at the door reported: "Princess Niangniang, please go to Mrs. Qu and sit down in a while." ”

Mrs. Qu is Pei Zunqing's wife, Mingyue knew it, so she smiled and said, "I'll go in a while." ”

Xiaolian knew that she had something to do, so she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you go first!" ”

"Oh well! You rest in peace, and I'll come back to see you. ”

Mingyue glanced at Pei Wan'er, and then got up after a few more words.

Several maids led Mingyue to, Pei Zunqing's mansion is next door to Pei Kuan's mansion, after a long sandwich road, and then enter a small door, it will arrive at the inner house of Pei Zunqing's mansion, at present, Pei Zunqing is still an official worship of the door, these days he is busy rebuilding Sikuang, it is difficult to see him at home, but Pei Zunqing has been thinking about his granddaughter Wan'er, and entrusted this matter to his wife Qu.

Pei Zunqing is over seventy years old, his original partner died ten years ago, and the current wife Qu is the later bride, only in her fifties, and she is a very shrewd and capable woman.

She heard that the moon was coming, and Mrs. Qu personally greeted her, "I didn't know that Princess Zhao would come today, I didn't prepare, I missed the welcome!" ”

Before Mingyue married Li Qing'an, she often came to Pei's Mansion, this Mrs. Qu she called her uncle and grandmother, and she has always been good to her, Mingyue hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her arm and smiled: "I don't know my uncle and grandmother anymore." ”

"You are a princess now, you can't be like before anymore, we can't lose our courtesy."

The two walked into the inner hall as they spoke, sat down with the guests, and Mrs. Qu ordered someone to serve tea, so she smiled and said, "I heard that you are moving today, how can you have time to come to Pei's mansion?" ”

"Brother Xiaolian told me early in the morning to see Xiaolian and talk to her."

"So that's the case, has His Royal Highness King Zhao been busy lately?" Mrs. Qu asked tentatively.

"It should be very busy, I go out early and return late every day, and I heard that I am going to recruit soldiers."

Mingyue understood what Mrs. Qu meant, and said with a smile: "Although I am busy, I can't delay Wan'er's marriage, I will do this matter as soon as possible, please rest assured that my uncle and grandmother will do it." ”

What Mrs. Qu wants is Mingyue's promise, in fact, the Tang people marry concubines, the attitude of the man is not important, the important thing is the attitude of the wife of the main house, although who she wants to marry is decided by the man, but whether she can marry into the house is the wife of the main house has the final say, and the ceremony of marrying a concubine is also very simple, that is, the new concubine toasts a cup of tea to the main mother, and the main mother is willing to accept her tea, then she can enter the house, if she does not take it, then this concubine will not want to be famous, and she will not be able to enter the room, and the man can only place her outside.

But if the officials of the Tang Dynasty did this, there would be a danger of losing their officials, and Li Longji once issued an edict prohibiting officials from raising other housewives, that is, officials were not allowed to raise mistresses outside the home, and those who violated the order were all dismissed.

This is to maintain the etiquette system of the Tang Dynasty and protect the power of the eldest woman, which is also the reason why Li Qingan could not marry Pei Wan'er at the beginning, Mingyue was still in Anxi at that time, if Mingyue didn't nod, then Pei Wan'er would not be able to enter Li Qing'an's door.

Of course, Mingyue's promise is only one aspect, Mrs. Qu also cares about Pei Wan'er's future reputation, Pei Wan'er is the concubine of the Pei family, and it is impossible to be a concubine, but with a concubine knighted, that is another matter, this is also the political investment of the Pei family.

Mrs. Qu asked euphemistically: "My lord still wants to ask, what will Wan'er's name be after passing the door?" ”

Li Qing'an is now canonized as an internal official in the palace according to the standard of the prince, except for the princess, that is, Liangdi and Liangyuan have a higher reputation, if Li Qingan ascends the throne in the future, then Liangdi and Liangyuan will be concubines, but Liangdi's name is a little higher, such as Yuan Concubine and Guifei, and Liangyuan can only be a concubine, Shufei, Hua Concubine and the like, which is slightly lower.

But this half-level, the Pei family attaches great importance to it, which is related to the status of the Pei family in the future, at present, Li Qing'an's Liangdi already has one, it is said that she is Li Linfu's niece, the daughter of the Jiang family, so there is still a vacancy in Liangdi's position, and the Pei family is bound to win this position.

Once Li Qing'an ascends the throne, then Pei Wan'er will be the second-ranked concubine in the palace, if Mingyue has any accidents, and Pei Wan'er has a son, then Pei Wan'er will also ascend to the throne of the queen, this is the long-term plan of the Pei family.

Mingyue knew all these in her heart, and she knew in her heart that Li Qing'an's ascension to the throne in the future would need the strong support of the Pei family, so she had to encircle the Pei family more, and she had already considered Pei Wan'er's name.

Mingyue smiled lightly and said, "Wan'er's future name is Liangdi, I don't know what my uncle and grandmother think?" ”
