First Marriage (III) (I)

The queen was a little surprised, she was still thinking about how to bring the words to this, arrange a palace banquet, and let Yiyi meet Shen Yaru in front of the queen mother justifiably, and make a family appointment. originally thought that it would take some talk, but I didn't expect the Queen Mother to make a detour and give her an accident directly. Did you really let my father say it? The Queen Mother is actually really planning for Yiyi? Don't need her to dig out the heart to calculate? Just thinking about it, I heard the Queen Mother say: "You can invite a few ladies in the capital who you look good at." The children have a companion and have a little fun. "This means that all the ladies selected by the queen are invited? The Queen Mother didn't mean to add another person? There is no intention of changing the candidate for the crown princess? Over the years, Yiyi has avoided talking about the crown princess, and the queen mother has not shown her intentions. Originally, it could be delayed, but now that the emperor's dragon body is not safe, once the throne is replaced, the new emperor ascends the throne, how can there be no queen? But even at this time, the Queen Mother didn't seem to be running the matter of the crown princess, could it really be handed over to her, the queen, just asking?

The queen still can't believe it, she has been dealing with this mother-in-law for decades, and she has never understood it. Although the surprise in the queen's eyes was only instantaneous, Chen mural did not ignore it, and just felt that this daughter-in-law was so stupid sometimes, and it was still very interesting to tease it from time to time.

Wanning lowered her head, with a smile on her lips, which could not be seen. After so many years, the Queen Mother sometimes still has this kind of childlike innocence. It's also a shame that the queen hasn't grown much in recent years. Sometimes she really doubts that the queen was chosen back then, in addition to the emperor's intention, Kang Ninghou happened to help the queen mother again, and whether the choice of the Lan family was intentional by the queen mother. Chen mural also guessed from the girl's bowing movement that the girl understood her little joke, and felt a little happy in her heart, or the girl understood her very well. She quickly glared at the girl, and the girl's smile deepened, and she smiled in her heart. This deep palace has been in the palace for many years, if it weren't for the company of a few confidants, it would be better to leave, and the happy rivers and lakes are more chic. She sometimes thanked God and felt that she was really lucky. Although it is a bit bad to entertain his daughter-in-law and children, but the deep palace is lonely, and if he doesn't find some happiness by himself, how can he get to where he is today.

The newly opened Aoki Tea House is different from the Aoki Tea House in the past, it is just a simple hall and a courtyard where guests can drink tea and chat. This Aoki Tea House in Xinzhang in the capital is a little far away from the trouble, but it is also a meal away from riding a horse and a car. It covers a wide area, except for the main courtyard that comes to the door with a cheerful atrium, a simple cloister, and a scattered café in the bamboo forest outside the cloister, the others are all small courtyards of different styles. Each small courtyard has its own series of flowers and trees, embellished calligraphy and paintings, birds and fish, etc. Some are Jiangnan style, and the people who shuttle back and forth and wait are Jiangnan girls; It is also about the big stone house in the east, and the people who go in and out are big men; There are bamboo curtains and bamboo chairs in the small courtyard of Xiangxi; There is a beam-piercing house with Bashu style; There are warm places surrounded by flowers and plants, and there are also cold and cold places carved in stone; There are luxurious carved beams and painted buildings, and there are also warm, simple and simple quaint courtyards without decoration; There are gentle towns with exquisite embroidery, and there are also tough guy decorations with hanging weapons; There is a courtyard surrounded by banana leaves and the incense of the guqin, and there is also a workshop where the stone carved thick bowl square bench is half polished. There are also one or two remote small courtyards, planting a field, building a small courtyard wall with a fence, raising a few chickens in the yard, a few geese running in the small pond, and planting a row of chrysanthemums under the corridor, which is quite idyllic.

Whether you like elegant, lively, or luxurious, you can always find a small courtyard that suits your heart. The small courtyard can not only drink tea, feast guests, but also live in a small house. Guests can invite their friends to a tea party here, or they can stay here alone for a few days to relax, or to write poems and paintings.

On the opening day of the Aoki Tea House, Lian'er did not plan to celebrate with any special grandeur and luxury. This kind of place is too prosperous and loses its true character. I just invited friends and colleagues of the Tang brothers, of course, the crown prince, and some of the original VIPs of Yuehuaxuan. Many of these dignitaries were also pen pals of Xinjie's original music and poetry, and naturally praised such an elegant place, and all admired the master's ingenuity and made use of the existing garden layout to achieve perfect results. Although there are not many people who come, these people are all the best in their own circles, and after their mouths, everyone wants to come and see them even out of curiosity, making the gathering of the Aoki Tea House a fashion and status symbol in the capital. On the day of the opening, many guests paid a deposit and booked some parties for their own hostile parties. There are also a few quaint and coarsely decorated houses, which were immediately asked by several friends to short-pack for a while, so that they can bring family and friends to take a walk. Some people even chartered several different courtyards at the same time, saying that they could take people to walk between different styles and find fun.

In fact, these people have various gardens in their homes, or have traveled to many places. It's just that no one has ever gathered these courtyards with different styles and moods, and even the people waiting for them are very well dressed, which makes people have to praise the designer for not only being ingenious, but also exquisite. Even Yiyi, who was accustomed to seeing all kinds of garden scenery in the palace, had to be secretly surprised by the layout of this new Aoki Tea House. He knew that she was talented, proficient in music and rhythm, knowledgeable in books and reasoning, and even more skilled in medicine, but he didn't know that she had such a hill in her heart.

Although Yiyi was very disappointed when he saw Xinjie and Ning Er leaving together in Chongyang Gate that day, he knew that he couldn't give Ning Er the life she wanted. Seeing her again today at the Aoki Tea House, and seeing everything Xinjie had planned for her, his heart stirred again. What he envies is not only the affection that his friends can have, but also the chic in which he can advance or retreat and freely dispose of his life. can create such a heaven for her own woman, so that she can freely use her talents.

Since Ning'er entered the palace at the age of six, he met her from his grandmother, and he began to care for this little sister with a pair of cute talking eyes, a sweet voice, and a particularly bright smile like a big brother. Their dealings were so frank and unbridled that they defended each other when he was still a weak child. Ning'er was his best friend and partner in the palace back then, when he was weak, when he was in pain and struggle, she stayed by his side and walked with him. When he first learned about the affairs of men and women, it was the palace maids who accompanied him to complete them, and in his heart, women were used to do that thing, and had nothing to do with his other affairs. And Ning'er is a partner and sister who he wants to discuss and share with her in addition to bed affairs. And she didn't seem to have any idea about it, and accepted him to have a room and a concubine.

As she grows, beauty and wisdom become more and more evident in her, although he sometimes flashes of confusion, but it is not until Yixiang maliciously wants to possess her that he clearly realizes that his feelings for Ning Er are not as simple as simple friends and siblings. However, it was too late, and the beautiful woman was lost, and he could not find it in the capital and Jiangnan. You can only occasionally grab those similar figures to release yourself.

Seeing her back again, she had become his best and closest brother's woman, and he could only face up to his and her situation in addition to regret and the pain of the night. As the prince, the crown prince and the future emperor, he can't really keep her, because the royal marriage is too complicated, there are more transactions than feelings, the balance of pros and cons is more than preferences, and the emperor's wife is not so much a wife as a position, there are too many conditions to set restrictions, there are too many competitions. And she is so mellow and sweet, if she is placed in the harem and competes for favor with a group of women who have nothing to do with the parents, it is a kind of poison to her. At that time, his grandmother asked him why he was looking for Ning'er. He never thought about why, he just wanted to find her. But now that he's found it, he really doesn't know what to do?!

Although the Queen Mother told him the day before yesterday that she had planned to place Ning'er in his mansion, but if she really kept Ning'er by her side, he really didn't know how he should face her and give her what kind of position she would have. If she did come, he would not be able to ignore his heart and his feelings. However, he already has his own crown prince and concubine, If he ascends to the throne, he will soon choose a concubine, and the queen already has a candidate for a concubine, only the queen mother agrees. The queen and the queen mother will not let his concubine fall on a woman with no family background. For him, although none of them can be talked about liking, but whether it is a concubine or a side concubine, there are all kinds of pros and cons to consider, and they are all tools. His current status and power are countless times stronger than back then, and his ability to defend himself is also very strong, but he has not yet reached the point where he can do whatever he wants.

Like the simplicity between Xinjie and Lian'er, raising his eyebrows together, it is still too luxurious for him at present. This is the sorrow of being a prince or even a prince. Maybe when he can one day become a great treasure and the government is stable and powerful, he will have some relative freedom, although maybe this day is not far away, but can he ask Ning'er to give up Xinjie and wait for him, and tell her what to wait? A concubine? The queen mother has promised to go out.

What if she wasn't willing to just be a concubine? Is it for him to watch her use all her wisdom and scheming in his harem, and finally go to the back position by herself? With her mind, he believed that she definitely had the ability to go to the back position. But to get to that position, it takes too much effort. Or did he keep her subservient to others in order to balance the previous dynasty and stabilize the harem, watching her depressed? He knew that what he liked was the current quiet and elegant her who did not seek fame and fortune. If she also loses her nature and innocence like those people in the harem, will he still love her?
