Chapter 246: Sister-in-law Talking
Early the next morning, Wang Qingyun put on a lot of makeup and went to Fengyi Palace early in the morning to meet her.
Xie Yanhe rarely got up early, and sat in front of the dresser at the moment, yawning again and again.
The mandarin duck looked a little unbearable, and couldn't help persuading: "Niangniang, Mrs. Hou is not an outsider, the slave maid will give you a cloud bun, and you don't have to wear jewelry, only a pink hibiscus flower on the hairpin, and wear a palace skirt that you often wear, what do you think?" ”
Xie Yanhe was extremely sleepy, and nodded helplessly.
Seeing this, the mandarin duck quickly tied her hair in a bun, rubbed a little pearl powder on her fingertips, wiped it on Xie Yanhe's face, and said with a smile: "Niangniang's complexion is very good, and the slave won't give you lipstick." ”
"My sister-in-law loves mutton dumplings, so I went to the imperial dining room and added this pasta dish to breakfast."
Xie Yanhe picked out a pair of drop-shaped earrings of red coral, motioned for the mandarin duck to help her put them on, and casually ordered: "This palace remembers that a few days ago, His Majesty sent a box of pigeon blood rubies, which can just set a pair of heads. Pearl, you go to the inner library of the main palace to find it, and ask your sister-in-law to bring it back. ”
When Xie Yanhe got married, the Hou Mansion had two hundred dowries on the surface alone, not counting the dowry sent by the Ministry of Rites, even the eldest princess of Ping An also prepared sixty-four additional makeup.
Xie Yan and his dowry are rich enough.
Not to mention, every time a rare tribute was offered from all over the place, Wei Zhao would send it to Xie Yanhe in one go, asking her to keep it for herself or to reward others. There were thirty or forty palace maids who took care of her inner library alone.
"Niangniang, Mrs. Hou entered the palace, do you see if you invited the county lord of Yunyang over?"
The mandarin duck helped Xie Yanhe to sit on the Luohan bed, and waited for Mrs. Hou to arrive, and then served breakfast.
"Not necessarily. If you let your sister-in-law know, Tao Tao beat the young lady of the Cui family, but I am afraid that she will have to be taught family law. Xie Yanhe rubbed his forehead and said with a headache.
She also felt that Tao Tao should be disciplined, this character of swinging a whip at every turn really doesn't look like a famous lady, but she really wants to give Tao Tao a hard time, Xie Yanhe is reluctant.
When the mandarin duck heard this, a pair of eyes bent, covered his mouth and smiled: "Niangniang, slave maid, remember that in the past, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dared to fight." ”
If you say that you are arrogant and arrogant, Mandarin Duck thinks that the county lord of Yunyang is the true inheritance of his master.
Xie Yanhe was stunned by the mandarin duck's words, recalled all kinds of nonsense in the past, shook his head, and laughed at himself: "It is because of the experience of this palace that this palace feels that it is necessary to correct her character." ”
While the master and servant were talking, Feng Ying entered the hall and said, "Back to the Marquis of Jingping, Mrs. Jingping Marquis has arrived." ”
"Announce quickly." Xie Yanhe adjusted his lazy sitting posture and looked at the hall gate expectantly.
Wang Qingyun was wearing a commanding costume, and when she entered the hall, she gave a big gift of three bows and nine knocks: "The courtiers greet the queen's mother, and the mother is a thousand years old." ”
Xie Yanhe understands that there are many people in the palace, unlike in the palace, where there is an iron bucket, and the sister-in-law is like this, which is also to avoid being truthful.
After Wang Qingyun finished the salute, Xie Yanhe hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, please get up." ”
The mandarin duck helped Wang Qingyun very cleverly and led her to sit on the Luohan bed.
"My sister-in-law came so early, didn't she have breakfast yet, just to accompany the palace to use some."
Xie Yan and his voice fell, and the palace maid with the food box rushed in, and put the breakfast in front of the two of them according to the preferences of the queen mother and Mrs. Jingpinghou.
"Thank you, mother." The smile on Wang Qingyun's face was a little reluctant, but in just a few days, she lost a lot of weight. In the past, she was weak and full of muscles, and her skin was moist and translucent, like a fairy concubine, radiant. But now not only is his face haggard, but he even feels a little weak.
Xie Yanhe was suddenly distressed, and she said softly: "Sister-in-law, has there been no news these days?" Let Yin Juanbai give you a pulse for a while, but don't burn your bones. ”
"Mother, I'm fine." Wang Qingyun shook her head, picked up the japonica porridge on the table, and ate it in small bites, her appetite was worse than that of Xie Yan and the pregnant person.
Xie Yanhe looked around.
Feng Hui received her eyes and immediately signaled the palace people to retreat, leaving only two people in the palace, Mandarin Duck and Onyx, both of whom were Xie Yan and his cronies who were brought to the palace from the Hou Mansion.
"Niangniang, this Manager Feng is really meticulous and proper." Wang Qingyun saw everything in her eyes, even if she was in a bad mood, she couldn't help but praise Feng Ying a few words.
"The apprentice that Feng Hui brought out single-handedly, and recognized his godson, but he is not a human spirit among human spirits."
Xie Yanhe scooped a spoonful of chicken soup, drank it with disgust, and said a few thoughtful words to his sister-in-law.
"Feng Ying is here with me, and it's a bit overkill. After Feng Hui left the palace to raise himself, I pushed him up. Compared with Kong Siquan, it is Feng Ying who is better. ”
"The grace of knowing the encounter, the grace of reconstruction. Just by virtue of your promotion of Feng Ying, presumably even if Feng Ying does not serve in front of Niangniang in the future, she will be grateful for your kindness. ”
Wang Qingyun's heart was very pleased. Since my sister-in-law married into the palace, she has become more and more sophisticated.
Xie Yanhe listened, and immediately said coquettishly: "There are no outsiders here, so my sister-in-law doesn't have to be a 'mother', it sounds like a lot of life." ”
"Yes, sister." Wang Qingyun did not refuse, and changed his words as well.
Xie Yanhe suddenly patted his forehead, and said in an extremely annoyed tone: "Look at me, I almost forgot such an important thing." I asked my sister-in-law to come over today because I have good news to tell you, and I am still happy to come to the door. ”
Hearing this, the sorrow in Wang Qingyun's eyebrows was swept away, and she asked in surprise and joy: "Is there news from your brother?" ”
Xie Yanhe motioned for the mandarin duck to present the letter to Wang Qingyun, and said with a light smile: "Sister-in-law, you can see for yourself, my brother wrote a letter back, and he is safe and sound except for a slight injury to his arm." ”
Since her husband's disappearance, Wang Qingyun has been frightened every day and woke up from nightmares several times, and the content of each nightmare is different.
Wang Qingyun dreamed that her husband Xie Han was floating on the water, shouting for help to herself, and in the blink of an eye, it was a cold corpse. When she woke up from her dream, she wet her pillow with tears, and on the second day, she had to pretend to be fine, take care of housekeeping, and receive the women who came to visit.
During this muddy and nightmare day, Wang Qingyun didn't dare to think back to how she survived. Now that she learned that her husband was safe and sound, Wang Qingyun was excited, and her fingers holding the envelope were trembling.
Her eyes were faintly red, and she read this letter word by word, word by word, and the familiar handwriting on it made her tears finally fall, from the silent tears at the beginning, to covering her mouth and choking, and then to crying bitterly, as if to vent the fear of the past few days!
"Go get a basin of water." Crying in the palace is a big taboo. But Xie Yanhe, as the master of the inner palace, even if Wang Qingyun went out and was found by the palace maid with swollen eyes, no one dared to say much.
Wang Qingyun pondered for a while before she silently stopped her tears, she curled the corners of her mouth embarrassedly, and whispered: "I lost my temper for a while, and let my sister see the joke." ”
"You and your brother have a deep relationship as husband and wife, and I am my sister, it's too late to be happy." Xie Yanhe waited until Wang Qingyun had cried enough, and personally twisted the warm sweat towel and handed it over.
She said softly: "Sister-in-law, wash your face and apply a compress to her eyes, so as not to be bumped into by those who have many mouths and tongues, and I don't know what gossip is going to be." ”
Wang Qingyun said "thank you", took the towel for washing his face, wiped his face, pressed his eyes again, and then handed the sweat towel to the agate who was serving on the side.
Looking at the breakfast on the table, where there were not a few chopsticks on the table, Wang Qingyun felt hungry for the first time in many days.
Seeing this, Xie Yanhe handed over a plate of crystal shrimp dumplings in front of him.
"This mutton is cold, there is always a bit of a smell, sister-in-law will make a cushion first, and I will let the imperial dining room prepare a new one."
"Sister doesn't have to bother." Although Wang Qingyun's eyes were a little red, the smile on her face was extremely bright.
"Now it's a sheep here, and I can eat it."
Xie Yanhe was amused by his sister-in-law, and pushed another plate of acacia flower buns that he hadn't used to move over together: "Now I can't eat fresh acacia flowers, this is made by the imperial dining room with dried locust flowers soaked in water, and there is always a little less fragrance." ”
The bun on the plate was no more than the size of a baby's fist, and after Wang Qingyun ate one, he commented: "It's mixed with acacia nectar, I think it's good." ”
A family like the Wang family has always paid attention to "not getting tired of eating, not getting tired of being fine", and the Xie family, which Wang Qingyun later married, has the same profound heritage as the Wang family. Although Wang Qingyun's cooking skills are average, she can distinguish the fillings clearly with her tongue.
"Tao Tao also likes to eat locust flower buns." Xie Yanhe felt that the blood relationship was really a magical thing, and Tao Tao's taste was very similar to that of his brother and sister-in-law.
Wang Qingyun had a flash of inspiration in her mind, and remembered that the second good news sister-in-law had not yet said. Looking at Xie Yan and his crystal clear skin, as well as his chin that was slightly rounder than before, he was blessed to the heart, and said excitedly: "Does my sister have good news?" ”
Xie Yan blinked with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and his sweet, soft voice was a little incredible, and he asked in disbelief, "How did my sister-in-law guess?" ”
The speculation in his heart was confirmed by Xie Yanhe himself, Wang Qingyun clasped his hands together, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Amitabha Buddha", and thanked all the gods and Buddhas again, and then said confidently: "I'm a person from the past, where can I not see the changes in you." When your brother returns, he doesn't know how to be happy. ”
Xie Yanhe pursed her lips a little shyly, a pair of soft breasts were held in her lower abdomen, and she said softly: "If you can give birth to a prince, it will be the best." ”
Although Wang Qingyun also had the same expectations, she didn't want to put pressure on Xie Yanhe, so she immediately said: "If you want me to say, it doesn't matter if it's a prince or a princess, it's okay." Isn't there an old saying that flowers bloom first, then bear fruit? ”
The comfort of relatives is the most useful, Xie Yanhe's heart was slightly relieved, and he said with a smile: "I listen to my sister-in-law." ”
"We are going to be mothers, and our father and mother know each other, and I don't know how happy we should be."
Wang Qingyun gently shook Xie Yanhe's fingers, and there was a sense of intimacy and love in her eyes.
Seeing this, Xie Yan and his other free left hand covered the back of Wang Qingyun's hand, and their fingers were slightly forced.
Xie Yanhe has been thinking about it for a long time in the past few days, and he doesn't know whether he should inform Wang Qingyun of the news he received. But thinking that his sister-in-law once said that the family should be honest with each other and work together when encountering things, Xie Yanhe struggled several times and finally made up his mind.
The different color on Xie Yanhe's face was seen by Wang Qingyun in his eyes, and his heart "chuckled" very quickly, and for some reason, there was a feeling of mountain rain coming in his heart.
Xie Yanhe handed over a thick envelope hidden in his sleeve to Wang Qingyun, she had read the contents of the envelope, there were a total of four secret letters inside, and the contents of them were shocking.
Wang Qingyun took the envelope and opened it quickly, and the letter contained in the envelope was poured on the table by her.
When she read the contents of the letter clearly, her face suddenly became snow-white, and her heart was even more cold, obviously it was a hot summer, but her whole person seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, and even her teeth were chattering.
"These letters were given to me by Cui Fuyao. The message is absolutely reliable. Xie Yanhe's face couldn't bear it, but she still had to explain what she should say.
After a while, Wang Qingyun returned to normal. Her whole body has calmed down, but there is still no trace of blood on her face.
"I remember my sister said that Cui Fuyao was selected into Qinglongwei, is this the news that Qinglongwei inquired?"
Xie Yanhe nodded, lowered his voice and said, "After Cui Fuyao told His Majesty, he gave me the news. The content on this was copied by Cui Fuyao himself after he was familiar with it. ”
Obviously he should feel angry and resentful, obviously he had been disappointed in them a long time ago, but Wang Qingyun still couldn't stop feeling sad in his heart.
It was as if everything in front of me had lost all its color, and the body and mind were trapped in the cold winter, leaving only the desolation and loneliness of all things.
How dare they? How dare you! ……
Wang Qingyun clenched her fingers, and even her fingertips trembled slightly.
At this moment, she seemed to have been stripped of all the flesh and muscles on her body, her expression was aggrieved, her eyes were dim, and she couldn't help but murmur: "Heaven has done evil, it is forgivable; You will not live! ”
