Chapter 40: Concubine Heng
On the second day after Xia Man was brought back, Xiao Mo took her to King Qi's mansion, which was the first time the two brothers met since they ascended the throne.
In the mansion, there are only a few guards patrolling, and the maidservants are even less pitiful, such a regulation is really not like a prince's mansion.
Hearing the rumors, King Qi hurriedly tidied up his clothes and knelt down in the lobby to greet Xiao Mo, "See the emperor." ”
Xiao Mo helped Xiao Xun up, seeing that his eyes were dark and his face was tired, his heart was relieved, and he comforted: "The matter has passed, why should you be like this." ”
"Brother is guilty!" Xiao Xun lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Xiao Mo.
"What sin are you? Traitors provoke and cannot be prevented. Xiao Mo sat down by himself, and Xiao Xun also sat down, his face full of remorse.
Seeing this, Xiao Mo said again: "You are Prince Qixian, and you still need your help in the affairs of the court." ”
Xiao Xun was stunned for a moment, and then he arched his hand and said: "The younger brother will share the worries for the imperial brother, but it's just ......"
Xiao Mo saw that he was hesitant, so he asked, "What are your concerns?"
"Brother wants to be the princess of the Northern Dynasty" Xiao Xun seemed to have made a lot of determination before he said slowly.
"What!" Xia Man looked at Xiao Xun with a surprised face, the dignified prince actually wanted to join the family!
Xiao Mo was also a little surprised when he heard this, and only after being shocked did he ask, "Does the princess of the Northern Dynasty know your thoughts?"
Xiao Xun shook his head, "I don't know." ”
"This matter has to be considered in the long run." Xiao Mo privately hopes that Xiao Xun can be emotionally satisfied, but if he is rich, it is really not the husband's doing.
Xia Man saw that the two of them had different expressions, and the scene was embarrassing for a while, so he said: "Emotional matters, take your time, it's almost noon, aren't you hungry?"
"Pass the meal."
The three of them had their own concerns, and they had a meal in a hurry, and Xiao Mo Xia Man returned to the palace.
In the Xuanlin Palace, Xiao Mo was dealing with the twists and turns, while Xia Man lit a furnace of incense on the side, "How could King Qi want to get involved?"
"He hasn't come out yet, he won't forgive himself, and only if he escapes far away, will he feel better." Xiao Mo didn't stop the pen in his hand, his brothers have been together for many years, and he still understands Xiao Xun's thoughts.
Xia Man walked to Xiao Mo's side and dialed the charcoal fire in the furnace, making the fire burn vigorously, and Xiao Mo's cheeks were red, "Then what are you going to do?"
"It's up to them." Xiao Mo stretched his waist, called Xia Man to his side, and said with a smile on his face: "Don't talk about others, let's talk about our affairs." ”
Xiao Mo leaned closer, and when he spoke, Xia Man could even feel his breathing, and he couldn't help but panic, and he couldn't even speak, "I...... We have something. ”
Xiao Mo turned his face sideways, leaned close to Xia Man's ear, and said softly: "You forgot, I said I would give you a reward." ”
The warm breath fell on Xia Man's cold earlobes, making her blush, shrink her neck, and retreat a little before she said, "The emperor said that he laughed, where do I dare to ask for any reward." ”
Xiao Mo was slightly dissatisfied when he saw Xia Man's retreat, and pulled hard, Xia Man sat on Xiao Mo's lap, and was caught by a big hand in the next second, "Why don't you be my concubine." ”
Xia Man couldn't move, his face was tightly pressed against Xiao Mo's chest, such a close contact made Xia Man feel upset, seeing that the person in his arms had not spoken for a long time, Xiao Mo raised her face and said, "Speak." ”
"Say...... Say what. Xia Man's mind was blank at this time, especially the other party's face was in the millimeter, how could he still think about it under the beauty.
"Say you do." Xiao Mo's magnetic voice made Xia Man nod like a magic spell, "I would like to ......" Before the meaning of the word came out, Xia Man suddenly sobered up, raised his head suddenly, and touched Xiao Mo's lips, and the soft touch on his forehead made Xia Man stunned again.
"Why are you so wooden?" Xiao Mo moved his lips to Xia Man's cheek, down a little bit, until it was close to the corner of his mouth, Xia Man subconsciously dodged, and said, "That, if you have something to say." ”
"Hmm." Xiao Mo let go of his hand, let Xia Man face himself, and said: "It is said that two people are happy with each other, but now, are we happy with each other?"
Looking at Xiao Mo's handsome face, Xia Man couldn't refuse, so he had to nod blankly.
Xiao Mo smiled with satisfaction, stretched out his hand, and met Xia Man's lips, tasted it shallowly, and in a daze, Xia Man suddenly thought of something, pushed Xiao Mo away, and said, "You have a queen and five concubines, very affectionate, what am I?"
When Xiao Mo heard this, he hid his face and smiled, and said, "Who told you that you are very affectionate?"
"A point is also love." Xia Man's inexplicable jealousy and resentment were written straight on his face.
Xiao Mo gently hugged Xia Man, stroked her hair, and said behind her ear: "The power of the court must be balanced, marrying anyone is the same, it's just a routine, you and I have experienced life and death and difficulties, this relationship is unique, do you understand?"
"Have you ever calculated me?" Xia Man always wanted to ask clearly, Xiao Mo let himself enter the mansion at the beginning, but it was for the identity of the Qin family.
Xiao Mo sighed softly, kissed Xia Man's earlobe, and said, "I suspected your purpose of approaching me, and I also sent someone to explore your life experience, but I didn't calculate you. ”
Xia Man's earlobe was a little itchy when he was kissed, and he unconsciously dodged, but Xiao Mo moved his lips to Xia Man's neck and sucked it deeply, which made Xia Man's mind confused, and he couldn't ask any more questioning words, so he had to let Xiao Mo invade his heart little by little.
Xiao Mo's lips roamed around Xia Man's neck, his hands were not idle, and he untied Xia Man's belt in a moment, and his shirt slipped off, Xia Man was shocked to feel a little chilled, and leaned against Xiao Mo's chest, Xiao Mo saw this, picked up Xia Man horizontally and walked to the dragon couch, stretched out his hand, and covered the blanket on the couch over the two of them.
Xiao Mo hugged Xia Man's somewhat trembling body and kissed gently.
Xia Man didn't know how to respond, and when he was about to say something, Xiao Mo's lips were sealed, "Be attentive." ”
"Oh."
At that time, the hibiscus tent was warm for the spring night, and the spring night was bitter and short, and of course, the king still had to be early.
The next morning, Xiao Mo looked at the sleeping person on the couch, with a smile on his face, and gently pinched the corner of the quilt for her, before he went to the court satisfied.
After sleeping for a long time, Xia Man woke up leisurely, and as soon as he got together, he felt that his waist was sore, and he rubbed it and wanted to go to the ground, only to find that there was a little maid kneeling on the ground, and asked, "The emperor asked you to come?"
The maid put on Xia Man's shoes, tied her clothes again, and then said: "Back to the master, the slave maid is called Xin'er, and she was sent by the emperor to serve the master." ”
"Hmm." Xia Man looked at Xin'er, she was not very old, but she looked very calm, and said, "How old are you?"
"Back to the master, the servant girl is nineteen."
Xia Man stretched his waist and said, "Don't be too restrained in the future, help me comb my hair." ”
"Yes." Xin'er combed her hair in a bun according to Xia Man's clothes, and as soon as she combed it, a eunuch came in.
"The Divine Decree has arrived!"
Xin'er helped Xia Man and knelt to listen to the eunuch read the holy decree.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Qin's Xia Man, smart and agile, dignified and wise, respectful and cautious, sensitive and wise, and courteous. Immediately canonized as a concubine, given the number Heng, Juyan Liang Palace, admire!"
"Your Majesty." Xia Man thought that Xiao Mo was just saying it casually, but now that he was officially canonized, he was a little stunned.
The eunuch said some auspicious words and withdrew, but Xin'er knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Congratulations to Concubine Heng." ”
"I don't know the etiquette in the palace yet, so tell me carefully." Xia Man suddenly felt a headache, she used to be a maidservant, but she was casual, but now she has become a concubine, and she is afraid that she has to abide by many rules.
Xin'er helped Xia Man to the chair next to the charcoal stove and told Xia Man about the etiquette in the palace.
