Chapter 10: In a Dream (10)

"Cousin..."Crescent Moon felt thirsty in her throat, picked up the tea in her cup, took a sip, and continued, "Cousin, do you remember the last time I called you that, when was it? ”

"Remember, it was the night we got married, and we were going to... But as soon as I heard you call me cousin, I left. After the new moon finished speaking, she also smiled, "Yes, I was scared, I curled up in a ball, you put your coat on me, and left." ”

"Why do you say that all of a sudden?" Rong Xu asked.

"Cousin, you and I only have the friendship of brother and sister. But being a husband and wife is not just like brother and sister, and the two of us are really different, to put it bluntly, we may not even be as good as brothers and sisters. But you and Xiao, you have a deep love for Xiao, and I don't want to get involved in such a thing. ”

"A man has three wives and four concubines, as a wife, can't you tolerate a concubine?"

"I naturally tolerate it, but if it comes time for her to tolerate me, I am more difficult than letting me die."

"Wives and concubines are like Jingwei, and their status is clear."

"Status? Cousin, what is my status with this Yu Palace, I think the prince has already made it clear to you. As she spoke, Crescent Moon smiled coldly.

"In this case, it can't be used as a reason for you to blackmail your husband."

"No, but if I'm really the life-saver of your family, I shouldn't be treated like this, you, you're not..." said the excitement, Crescent Moon stood up suddenly, but seeing that she was about to say nonsense, Xinyue could only endure the exposure in her heart, reached out and waved off the cup on the table, and then sat back where she had been sitting.

Fei'er and Feng'er immediately ran in from outside, and when they saw the two arguing, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak, and Feng'er even blocked in front of Xinyue, for fear that Rong Xu would push Xinyue again.

Rong Xu glanced at it so carefully, trembling with fear, but he still stood in front of Xinyue, and then looked at the crescent moon behind Feng'er, the ribbon on his forehead, and remembered that when several grandmothers carried Xinyue back that day, his head was covered with blood, and he realized that the girl who Xinyue was carrying with him was afraid that he would beat her again, but he was still angry in his heart, but he had already taken a step back, "Look at the way you are now, behaving abnormally, irritable and uncontrollable, and there is still deference as a wife..."

Xinyue regained her original restrained and calm appearance, pulled Feng'er aside, stretched out her jade-like arm, and pointed her palm up at Rong Xu, "If you are dissatisfied, please also ask the little prince to give a letter of resignation, and the concubine can go down to the court." ”

"You know it's..."

"Yes, the concubine knows, the little prince, you have the name of the little prince of the Yu Palace, you can't be your own master if you marry a wife or divorce your wife, so if the little prince can't be the master, you should still ask the little prince to sit down, or, ask the little prince to send a competent bookkeeper to the concubine, and let the concubine calculate with him."

"If you really invite the account room, what should I do if Yao'er and the reputation of our Yuwang Mansion are called."

"Naturally," she said, Xinyue closed the account book, and said to Feng'er, "Let Fei'er make the bed, and then make the bed in the west wing, and spread the cloud quilt I made during the New Year, and then burn the charcoal basin, let the wing room warm up first, and the little prince will go there to live in a while." ”

"Yes" said that, Fei'er was almost frightened, and the two of them walked out according to Xinyue's instructions.

Crescent closed the ledger box and reached out to drink tea, but found that the cup and teacup had been thrown to the ground by herself, and Crescent reached out and stroked the bandage on her forehead, feeling that her head hurt again.

At this time, Fei'er brought two new cups of tea, put them on the table, squatted down to clean up the teacup that Xinyue had just broken, and cleaned it up.

Crescent Moon stood up and said to Fei'er, "Pack all these things"

"Yes," she said, and Fei'er packed up the account box and the fragments of the teacup, and there were only two people in the room again.

"Crescent, how did you change?" Saying that, Rong Xu sat in the position just now with some weakness.

"Little prince, I haven't changed, but I've always been such a character." As she spoke, Xinyue looked at Rong Xu for the first time.

The men of the Rong family are extremely handsome, the prince is like this, the king of Jin is like this, and Rong Xu is also like this.

Rong Xu stands like jade, practicing martial arts in the school all the year round, his skin is tanned to wheat, his back is slender, and his arms are strong. At the age of Double Ten, the silver crown brocade clothes are a little more heroic than those idle sons in Jinling.

Rong Xu found that the new moon was looking at him, and he also looked at the new moon. When he was young, every time he saw his mother, there was always a little girl, hiding behind the screen, the little girl with red cheeks, is now the new moon, this is also before the two got married, his only two impressions of the new moon, and another time, it was at the palace banquet, the little girl who hid behind the screen, standing beside the prince, that day was her birthday, the prince gave her a jade pendant, she was very happy, on the way home, the two of them sat in a carriage with their mother, and the mother asked her, "Do you like it so much?" ”

"This is the prince's brother's favorite jade pendant" Xinyue handed the jade ring that he had been playing with in his hand to Xu, Xu took it, looked at the Ruyi ornament on it, and said to Xinyue, "Although this style is not a kind of arrogance, but this is the love of His Royal Highness the Prince, and it should not be worn on the bright face in the future." As he spoke, he handed the jade ring to the new moon.

At this time, Rong Xu looked at Xinyue's waist, and saw that there was a purse on her waist, and outside the purse, there was also a jade pendant with excellent color, which was Rong Xu, the first time he saw Xinyue wearing this jade pendant since he was in the carriage.

Since that day, although Rong Xu is not a person who cares much about these things, he vaguely felt that Xinyue would become the crown princess, but he didn't expect that in the end she would become his wife.

Xinyue stretched out her hand and touched the jade pendant on her waist, and after a while, she suddenly inadvertently touched a few words, which she didn't really touch with her hands, but she had a hunch in her heart and grabbed the jade pendant under her hand.

Rong Xu frowned, "I never understood you, that's it, that's it." ”

With that, Rong Xu stood up, turned around and walked out, leaving the courtyard of the new moon.

As soon as Rong Xu left, Xinyue immediately put his waist, Feng'er had just changed the jade pendant of the tape for himself, and lifted it up to take a look, from the back of the jade pendant, engraved with a few words, deeply carved like marrow, just between the strokes, a little trembling, at first glance it was a novice, Xinyue carefully looked at the words on it "I have this heart, looking at the moon"

Xinyue looked at the three words "Mochizuki Ming" in the back, and her heart sank, recalling some previous things.

The prince's name is not good, just by looking at the name, he knows His Majesty, and has high hopes for him, and the prince is indeed as His Majesty expects, he is the most conspicuous and excellent one among the younger generations of the children of the clan.

Liang also has a crown prince, and there are many comparisons between the princes of the two countries, but on the bright side, the prince of Liang only won over him in terms of women and heirs, and the rest, whether it is literature or martial arts, are not comparable.

The crown prince is five years older than Xinyue, and when he was eleven years old, the queen mother and the queen called him into the palace, and the two ladies in the palace asked Xinyue if she would like to come into the palace, talk to them, and live with the prince's brother.

Xinyue forgot how she answered, but when she left the palace, she met the prince and looked at her with a little red eyes.

A year later, Xinyue went to the East Palace to attend the wedding banquet, the prince's brother married the granddaughter of the prince's family, and the crown princess Wang has been serving as an official with her father until the marriage with the prince is decided, and then she enters Beijing to be married. Wang Taishi is the emperor's teacher, the family rules are strict, the daughter of the clan, is also a generous and decent upbringing, Xinyue and the clan sisters, went to the new house together, accompanied her to wait for the prince, it was the first time to see the Wang family.

Wang sat on the marriage bed, led by the grandmother in the palace with smiling eyes, and saw these princes and girls from the eldest princess's family one by one. Xinyue lined up behind Shan'er and bowed to the Wang family, "Say hello to the princess and sister-in-law." ”

"This is the daughter of the eldest princess of Yining, whose maiden name is Xinyue."

Wang looked at the new moon, smiling decently, but there was an inquiring look in his eyes, but the new moon at that time was just a yellow-haired girl, and she really couldn't see anything wrong, Wang rewarded her with a jade pendant, but Shan'er looked good, and then on the carriage back to the house, she took it away.

Crescent Moon drank a glass of fruit wine at the feast.

It was Shan'er who lied to her, saying that this was a flower juice, sweet and sour and delicious, very delicious, who knew that she had a very shallow amount of alcohol, just drank a little, she was dizzy, and it was very hot, and when she came out to enjoy the cold, she met the prince who was also drunk.

Xinyue wanted to remember what the prince had told him that day, but she was so drunk that she couldn't remember it at all.

After the palace banquet, Xinyue hadn't seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a long time, and after goodbye, it was him and the Crown Princess Wang's pair, Xinyue watched while the two of them were very affectionate, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also indifferent to himself, but that gentle smile has never changed.

After that, until he proposed marriage, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to see him again, he and Chang Sui rode horses, visited his aunt, and went straight to the courtyard of the new moon, and said to the new moon, "If you don't want to, I can go and talk to the queen mother and the queen mother, and welcome you as my side concubine." ”

Crescent Moon remembered her answer, and looking at the words on the jade ring, Crescent Moon smiled, and then sighed.

After Feng'er came in, she looked at the new moon and looked at the jade pendant in a daze, and Feng'er asked, "Madam, you also saw the words on this jade pendant." ”

Crescent Moon nodded, "I just saw it." ”

"Madam, in fact, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been to you..."Feng'er didn't dare to speak, but she knew that Xinyue understood.

"He's justβ€”" Xinyue said this, and looked at the words carved by the prince himself on the jade ring, "He, the position to sit is too high, and..." The new moon wanted to say it, but it couldn't come out of her mouth.

Thinking about it, Xinyue handed the jade pendant in her hand to Feng'er, "Come to think of it, my aunt also saw these words back then, you find a brocade box and put this in place, there's no need, don't take it out again." ”

"Yes" said, Feng'er looked at the silk on the jade ring, it was her new type, if it was put into the box, I am afraid that it would be the same as the previous one, broken in the box.

After the arrangement, Xinyue felt a little tired, and suddenly remembered something again, "Tomorrow, let Mama Li come to visit." ”

"Yes" As she spoke, she put the jade pendant in her sleeve and said to Xinyue, "Madame, settle it, it's not too early." ”

"And Mama Da, when you go to invite Mama Da, talk to the prince."

"Yes," replied Feng'er, and after waiting for the new moon to rest, she went out.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, Mama Dao Da arrived in front, Xinyue looked at Mama Li who had just sat down, and said to Fei'er who came to pass the word, "Let Mama Da go to the side hall to drink tea, and say that I have something to tell Yao'er's Mama, and I will see her in a while." ”

"Yes" Xinyue watched Fei'er walk out, then turned her face and said to Mama Li, "Mama, drink tea, I heard that it is snowing in Jinling this year, this is the snow tea, taste if it is the taste we often drink in Jinling." As she spoke, Xinyue also picked up her teacup.

Mama Li looked at the steaming fragrant tea, and looked at the posture of the new moon, to chat with herself for a while, and Mama Da had to dry it for a while.

Mama Li picked up the teacup, took a sip of the fragrant tea in the teacup, and said, "This tea is good, but I heard that the snow in Jinling is not big, and the flavor is worse." ”

Crescent Moon took another sip and nodded, "That's true." It's just that this snow tea is rare, even if it lacks a bad flavor, it is also good. ”

"Madam..."Mama Li put down the cup in her hand and said something to Xinyue.

"Mama, you have something to say." Xinyue also put down the teacup, and had breakfast for a while, but when it came to lunch, there was still some time, Xinyue was really a little hungry, and reached out and twisted a red bean cake and put it in her lips and teeth.

Rice flour is ground into rice flour, rice flour is mixed with milk, and honey red beans are steamed together. The taste is sweet and fluffy, and when I took a bite, I liked it.

Mama Li looked at the rare appearance of the new moon, like a child's look, and when it came to her mouth, she endured it, "The slave maid just wants to ask, what does the lady mean by calling the slave maid." ”

"Oh, forgot to get down to business. I called Mama because of Yao'er's matter. I thought that after arriving in Jinling, Yao'er would not be as comfortable as in the Eastern Capital, so I also explained to Mama and asked Mama to let her loosen and loose. But, Mama, you also know that we are about to go to Jinling, and seeing that Yao'er's wedding date is getting closer and closer, it really can't go out at all, so I called Mama to let Mama control Yao'er more, although it is not allowed to go out of the room. But inside and outside the courtyard, send more people to follow, and don't let her out of the mansion. and her dowry, all of which are prepared quickly, the embroidery that should be embroidered, and the appearance that should be depicted, are all prepared and prepared. "Xinyue saw the fifteenth day of the first month, Yao'er had to go out to see the lights, but Xinyue vaguely felt that the lights would seem to have something happening, so she still didn't let Yao'er go out.

"What Madame said, the slave maid knows, even if Madame doesn't say it, the slave and maid have already sent more people to serve Miss Yao'er, but, in two days, it will be the Lantern Festival, Miss Yao's side..."
