Chapter Ninety-Seven: Why Are You Here?
An Mingchen lowered his head and pondered for a while, seeing that it was not early, he asked Wu Hu to go back first, and he stayed in the pavilion for a while before leaving, and returned to the room, Huangfu Xue was leaning against the window to read the account book, and little by little, he was obviously sleepy.
"When you're sleepy, you fall asleep, and it's uncomfortable to sit like this." An Mingchen picked her up and lay down on the bed, then took the account book on the bed and put it on the table. Huangfu Xue didn't sleep to death, he woke up at the slightest movement, and when he opened his eyes, he saw him at a glance, and felt safe and at ease for the first time in more than a month.
"Why are you looking at me like this, but you miss me?" An Mingchen stepped forward, and the two were so close that they could feel each other's breathing. After many days of separation, sharing the same bed again, Huangfu Xue was a little shy, pulling the quilt without looking at him, An Mingchen had never seen such a lovely her, held his hand with his backhand, and chuckled, "Lady, tell your husband, do you miss me?" ”
"I don't want to." Huang Fuxue turned to look to the side, her face becoming more and more ruddy. Seeing this, An Mingchen's smile deepened a little, "Really?" Is the lady sick, why is her face so red? ”
"No, it's just a little hot, you ......" I don't know when An Mingchen got closer to him, Huangfu Xue was a little uncomfortable, and reached out to push him, but he couldn't push away after trying a few times, "You stay away from me, and, don't look at me like that." "I can't help but be bewitched by beauty.
An Mingchen not only pushed away half a point, but also leaned forward, leaned over and kissed him, "Lady, do you really miss me?" But I miss you. I've missed you since the first day of separation, I've been thinking about you every day since we've been apart for so long, and I'm really happy to see you again. ”
Huang Fuxue didn't expect him to say this suddenly, and after being slightly stunned, she leaned up and kissed him with a red face, "When did you become so flamboyant." ”
"It's not flamboyant, it's true. Lady, you haven't said you missed me? An Mingchen stared at her, as if if he didn't say an answer today, she wouldn't let him go. Huangfu Xue is not the kind of person who twists, since he has already admitted it, she has nothing to hide, and she has generously admitted it.
"You are my husband, you have been away for so long, I naturally think about it......" Before the words fell, a dense kiss swept over, and Huangfu Xue was slightly stunned, and after a while, he was immersed in this kiss. The moon was silent, and the moon came in through the window and poured through the curtain into the veil......
This night, Huang Fuxue didn't know when she fell asleep, she only felt very tired and hated to be happy, the next day she opened her eyes and was the only one left on the bed, put on her clothes and got up, and when she came out of the back room, she saw An Mingchen sitting at the table reading a book, and turned around when she heard footsteps.
"Get up, hurry up and wash up, the time to worship your ancestors is coming soon."
Huangfu Xue almost forgot about this incident, and after being slightly stunned, she turned around and went back to the house to change her clothes, wash, and came out again Half an hour later.
"Come over for a bite to eat, Daddy said they were waiting for us at the ancestral hall." The ancestral hall of Huangfu's family is in the front yard, it is said that grandma has been guarding it before, and when grandma died, Huangfu Xue's mother has been taken care of by old slaves since she died, and the three sisters rarely go over there when they have nothing to do, so Huangfu Xue has never been there once.
It was the first time he had seen the ancient ancestral hall, Huangfu Xue was a little curious and a little excited, An Mingchen didn't know what he was thinking, but he felt that this girl was a little heartless, and she could be so happy when she came to this kind of place.
The ancestor worship is very grand, the rules are complicated, the female dependents can only wait at the door, Huangfu Zhengxiong personally led An Mingchen in, I don't know what they said inside, they waited for a long time before they came out, the two just came out, Huangfu Yue snorted coldly and was about to leave, the housekeeper hurriedly ran over.
"Master, second aunt, there are a lot of local business people from outside, as well as people from the government, who said that they are here to send congratulatory gifts to the second aunt."
An Mingchen knew early on that these people would come when he heard the news, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. Turning his head to look at Huangfu Zhengxiong, Huangfu Zhengxiong happened to look at this side, the two glanced at each other, sent the housekeeper to invite someone, and the two went directly to the front hall.
Huangfu Xue still had something to do, so she didn't go to join in the fun. On the way back, Huang Fuyun took out a brocade box from his cuffs and handed it to her, "Second sister, this is a little caution between me and Zhong Lin, I hope you don't dislike it." ”
"Where did the third sister say, it's just...... It's all my own family, why be so polite. Huang Fuxue didn't want to accept it, but Huang Fuyun seemed to have made up her mind, no matter what he said, she just didn't want to take it back, and in desperation, Huang Fuxue had no choice but to subordinate, "You thank the third sister." ”
"The second sister said that we are a family, why should the family be so polite." Huang Fuyun smiled, and glared at Huang Fuyue gloating when he left, Huang Fuyue didn't dare to show weakness, "Hypothetical, don't think I don't know what kind of calculation you are playing, but unfortunately, the second child is not the kind of superficial person to go, just a little gift just want to buy the second child, you really underestimate her." ”
"What did the eldest sister say, I just saw the second brother-in-law come back and was happy for the second sister in my heart, how could a good thing come to your mouth so ugly. If you want me to say that you are jealous of the second sister, who is the second brother-in-law, the important minister of the court, the emperor's henchman, and the eldest brother-in-law, but he is just a subordinate of our emperor's family......"
With a snap, Huang Fuyue stretched out her hand and gave Huang Fuyun a slap, what happened so suddenly Huang Fuxue was startled, she didn't expect the eldest sister to do it. Huang Fuyun is not a vegetarian either, seeing that he was beaten, he stretched out his hand to fight back, Huang Fuxue was worried about hurting her, so he reached out and pulled her back two steps.
"Third sister, don't be impulsive, think about the child in your belly, if you have three long and two short because of impulsiveness, you will regret it."
At the mention of the child, Huang Fuyun calmed down, but his eyes were full of unwillingness, "No, this matter can't be left like this, eldest sister, you wait, I will definitely let my father make the decision for me." ”
"Are you still a child, you know to sue when you encounter something, it's really useless." With a cold snort, he turned to leave. Huang Fuyun stared at her back and stomped her feet angrily, "Second sister, look at it, how did the eldest sister become like this, I also heard that the eldest brother-in-law hasn't been to the eldest sister's room for a long time......"
Huang Fuyun's face was full of schadenfreude, Huang Fuxue saw this, and was speechless for a while, she knew that the relationship between the two was not good, but was it really good to be so gloating?
She is not really Huangfu Xue, and she can't have a brotherhood with them, but he will never harm them, but he doesn't want to care about the things between them, after all, none of these two people is a fuel-efficient lamp, and she doesn't necessarily appreciate it if she kindly helps them.
"Third sister, go back early, I still have something to do, so I'll go and get busy first." Back in the room, An Mingchen had already returned, there were a lot of things on the table, An Mingchen was sitting at the table reading a book, and when he saw her coming in, he waved to her with a smile.
"Come and see if there's anything you like." Pulling her to his lap, Huang Fuxue pushed him embarrassedly, and when he saw that he couldn't push it, he was no longer hypocritical, he took a box casually, opened it and closed it again, "Such a valuable thing, let's just accept it, aren't you afraid of a copy of Yu Shishen?" ”
"Don't be afraid, these are all things that the emperor asked me to collect, saying that they are revenge for donating grain to the emperor's family." An Mingchen smiled and took out the jewelry inside, "These are all specially selected by me for you, you see if you like it or not, if you don't like it, let's go buy some more that you like." ”
"No, these are beautiful. I love it. "That woman doesn't love beauty, although Huangfuxue doesn't like to dress up, but she also loves beauty, just looking at these cleanups, her mood can be much better.
What's more, these things were picked by An Mingchen himself, so she naturally liked them more.
"If you like it, it's fine." An Mingchen put her on the stool, "Wait a minute, I have to go to the palace, and I may not come back for lunch." ”
"Okay." Huangfu Xue knew that she had just returned to Beijing and had a lot of things to do, so she sent An Mingchen away and got up and went to the study.
In the palace, the emperor sat in front of the desk to review the folds, I don't know why he was very irritable, and his mind recalled everything yesterday uncontrollably, he had obviously thought about giving up, but why was she still very uncomfortable every time she remembered the picture of them together?
Concubine Zheng Guifei had the lesson of yesterday, and she personally went to the kitchen early this morning to make a breakfast for the emperor, and brought the palace maid over, worried that the emperor was still minding yesterday's affairs, so she asked the palace maid to come forward to inquire with her father-in-law, who knew that the father-in-law didn't say anything, and sent them away.
"Niangniang, my father-in-law said that the emperor has an order, and I don't see anyone, let's go back first."
Concubine Zheng glanced at the plaque in the imperial dining room, a little unwilling, "No, this concubine can't just go back." "He has already offended the emperor last time, if the emperor still can't forgive him this time, her situation in the palace will become more and more difficult.
The whole harem knows about yesterday's events, and some of the things that fell into the well began to trouble her early this morning, she is not stupid, she knows that this is the beginning, if the emperor refuses to forgive him, there will be more bad things waiting for him after that.
That's why she's coming over early this morning. Concubine Zheng Guifei couldn't see the emperor, but she didn't want to leave just like that, so she took the food box in the palace maid's hand, "You go back first, Concubine Ben is waiting for the emperor here." ”
"Niangniang, the slave is here to accompany you." The palace maid wanted to persuade her, but he knew the mother's temperament, and as long as it was something she decided, it would not be easily changed. Since you can't persuade it, then you don't persuade it at all, and you can accompany your mother here.
"No need, you can go back first." Concubine Zheng insisted, and when the palace maid saw this, she had no choice but to leave first. The father-in-law stood at the door of the main hall and saw that his expression flashed slightly, I don't know if it was Zheng Guifei's bad luck, or the government was busy, the emperor did not go out of the door of the main hall all day, and at ten o'clock in the evening, the heavenly palace was not beautiful, and it actually rained. The rain in early autumn was cold and cold, hitting Zheng Guifei, every time it was like being tortured, it was extremely uncomfortable.
This whole day, she didn't want to leave all at once, but thinking of the future and the emperor's attitude, she suppressed this idea again and again. Secretly told himself that if he waited, wait for the emperor to come out, and then he would forgive him as long as he was sincere enough. But as time passed, she felt that her head was starting to get dizzy, and the emperor still didn't come out.
"Why are you here?"
