The bride of an ordinary family, three days after the wedding, the bride wants to go back to her mother's house to visit her parents, this said: "Go back to the door." "The palace can also be regarded as the emperor's house, so there is no return to the door. However, Prince Rong felt sorry for Wanying and missed her parents, so he specially allowed Master Shi and Mrs. Shi to visit Wanying at the beginning of the second month of the second month of their wedding.

Before Master Shi left, Mrs. Shi said that the headache was unbearable, so she asked Aunt Lin to come to see Wanying instead of herself.

When the three of them meet, there is an endless length of family affection. Of course, Aunt Lin cried with joy, and she was also very relieved to see the graceful spring breeze.

Master Shi's marriage between Wanying and Prince Rong was originally satisfactory, and now he sees Wanying's overflowing happiness, of course, he is also indescribably satisfied.

"The prince still has a business trip today?" Aunt Lin asked softly.

Master Shi heard Aunt Lin's question, closed the lid of the teacup, and looked at Wanying with both eyes, as if he was also waiting for Wanying's answer.

"The plague has finally come to an eyebrow, and the prince has been busy for several days. Because it was a business trip, Wanying was inconvenient to ask. It's just that recently, there seem to be frequent rumors in the palace that Prince Rong has entered the palace. ”

When Daddy heard this, his eyebrows were shocked, and he calmed down in an instant. After taking a sip of tea, he asked long, "Do you know what's going on?" ”

"Didn't Wanying say it, it's inconvenient for the woman to ask in detail." Wan Ying said with a little coquettishness.

The Great Zhou Dynasty has always forbidden harem concubines to interfere in politics, since Taizu's Concubine Chen was beaten into the cold palace in order to seek officials for her father, Empress Taizong was abolished for personal gain; and then to the first emperor's Concubine Xiao Shu, who sold the official mantle, was given to death. The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, like a tight spell, on the head of every concubine.

Master Shi felt speechless, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, what Niangniang said is very right." ”

Looking at the embarrassed smiling face of Master Shi, Wanying suddenly felt an indescribable depression and loss welling up in her heart. Wanying and her father are already different from monarchs and ministers after all.

If she was always coquettish, Daddy would laugh at most and enjoy it. But in front of him, he seemed to be afraid of something, and he was respectful to Wanying. This made Wanying feel that her tone was a little inappropriate.

"It doesn't seem to be all for the sake of the plague, the plague is certainly heavier than Mount Tai, and it is not only our Great Zhou Dynasty, there have been plague emergencies in all dynasties. There must be rules to follow in the imperial court's management of the plague. As long as we actively deal with it and find a cure for the plague as soon as possible, I believe that the plague will end one day. What's more, the plague in Beijing has now been controlled and will no longer spread, and I believe that everything is only a matter of time. It's just that every time Qing'er pays attention, she always feels that the prince exudes the pain and sorrow of despair from time to time. Because it was a business matter, Wanying didn't dare to ask more, and the prince naturally didn't tell him. ”

Wanying said leisurely, not knowing what she said wrong. Father's smiling face became cold and piercing with Wanying's words.

"Father, but did Qing'er say something wrong?"

"No, no, Daddy asked you, has anyone come to visit the prince recently?" Master Shi asked Wanying nervously.

"Because it is a newlywed, there are a lot of people who come and go to give gifts, and the front yard of the house is full of people almost every day. The prince has been in the palace mostly recently, as if he is avoiding seeing people, and he enters the palace from the side door before dawn every day, and only comes back from the side door late at night. Qing'er is also annoyed, the prince can enter the palace to hide, but Qing'er is unavoidable, and she is dizzy by those fateful ladies. ”

"Oh, who are the relatives who have come to see you?" Master Shi asked.

"The first-grade and second-grade ladies in the capital who have names and surnames have all handed over posts in the past few days. It's just that Qing'er has been tired lately, and she hasn't bothered to see them yet. Many Beijing officials below the third grade, as well as several governors' wives in the following places, also sent congratulatory gifts, and the gift list has been transferred to Qing'er."

"Where are the posts and gift lists, can I let my dad see them?"

Because there was no one to serve in the hall, Wanying got up and opened the door in the rosewood cabinet, and Daddy took out the wooden box inside, which was full of a box, about a hundred or so sheets.

Daddy looked through them one by one, and at the end, he said gloomily: "It doesn't matter if these people see or not, listen to Daddy, you don't want to see anyone at present." Then he gave Wanying a few famous posts in his hand and said, "If these ladies hand over the posts again, you send someone to inform your father, it is best to send Hongfu or Yunniang." ”

Wan Ying nodded, and Master Shi handed the stack on the lid of the box to Wan Ying, and said earnestly: "No matter how many times these people are handed over, they will not be seen." ”

Wanying saw that the top one of this stack was Zhou Baicheng, the coach of the Jingxi camp, who was a close friend of his father for many years, and the two families had a very close relationship. I couldn't help asking: "Daddy, Lord Zhou and Daddy are close friends, wouldn't it be inappropriate not to see Mrs. Zhou?" ”

Daddy waved his hand and said: "Daddy and Master Zhou are good friends, officialdom is different from the vegetable market, and you have to take care of everything." I believe that Lord Zhou will also understand this truth. Yu Gong, we are ministers of the same court, and we are still friends for many years. He clearly distinguishes between public and private. ”

Then he threw the rest of the pile into the box, and said with a sigh of relief: "These people don't have to bother, you can notify the door, these people's posts don't have to come in." After speaking, she suddenly coughed urgently, and Aunt Lin immediately came over and handed tea to Master Shi: "Drink some tea and press it." ”

"Daddy, can you take care of your body lately?" Wanying asked rhetorically with a little solemnity.

The father smoothed his breath and said: "Daddy is old, no matter how much maintenance he has, he can't rejuvenate himself." ”

"Although I can't rejuvenate myself, at least my father is in good health, and Qing'er doesn't have to worry about it."

"Daddy knows, Daddy must take good care of it, okay?" Master Shi said with a loving face.

"It's getting late, and we should go back." Aunt Lin said.

"The palace is not as good as the family, let's talk alone for so long, it's not good to get out. That's all for today, I'll go back with your mother. I'll see you later when we have a chance. ”

The three of them walked outside the hall, and a large group of little girls bent down to dig a pit in front of the hall, gouging out the newly planted osmanthus and throwing it aside. Aunt Lin asked with a puzzled face, "What is this?" Good osmanthus, how can it all be ruined? ”

Wanying smiled and said shyly: "It's getting hotter and hotter, Chunhuatai sits in the north and faces south, and the sun is abundant." There is no shady place, although the osmanthus tree is fragrant, but it is a pity that it cannot be cooled in summer. ”

"It's a pity, I think these are the best golden cinnamon." After Aunt Lin finished speaking, she followed Master Shi down the steps.

Reluctantly bidding farewell to her father, Wanying leaned on the window railing alone, the wisteria in front of the hall was flourishing, and the bees were buzzing so lively. A few young maids took flower hoes next to the wisteria pavilion, planting a row of phalaenopsis, in front of the west hall, the florists had already planted a row of peonies, the warm wind blew, fell red mottled and turned, and fell to the ground.

Wanying watched the little girls planting trees in full swing, and she had already imagined: many years later, the green trees in front of the palace will be cool and pleasant. Wanying holds a book alone, or drops a few pieces with Prince Rong, which makes people feel refreshed when they think about it.

At noon, Xu was happy, ate two more bites, and chatted so much after the meal, Wanying only felt a little tired and sleepy inside. lowered the curtain and called Yun Niang to come over and clean up the rest of the tea bureau. After a while, he fell asleep in a mess.

The sunset was shining, and I got up lazily, only to see Prince Rong sleeping in his clothes next to him, with only a quilt on his body. Wan Ying gently covered him with a quilt.

Prince Rong fell asleep and ran all night, and now like a baby, his nose fell with his breathing. There is also a tail with a sweet smile hanging from the corner of his mouth.

Wanying stood on tiptoe, got up and sat in front of the bronze mirror, green silk like a waterfall, herself in the mirror, her cheeks were slightly red, and the shyness of the boudoir was also different. The sweetness and shame of being a first-time wife are hidden in the shallow atrium, as if you can see it by pushing open the window.

The benzoin in the incense burner is mixed with the sour smell of burning vinegar, and the most tired breath is now as gentle and amiable as the sunset outside the window, and I want to be drunk.

Wearing a homely lotus gauze dress, he took a peony hanging bead on the dressing table and shook it with a skillful bun, and cut a new pink peony with scissors and inserted it diagonally into the bun. Gently close the door of the dormitory and walk lightly to the outside of the hall.

The little maid with the curtain at the door, when she saw Wanying coming out of the hall, walked over quickly, and served Wanying to put on her usual cloth shoes. Leisurely walked to Yun Niang's room and gently knocked on the window.

"What to do?"

Yun Niang was weaving cloth in the house, stopped the shuttle in her hand, and lifted the curtain to welcome Wanying into the room.

"The weather is warm these days, so let's go for a walk in the garden."

"Niangniang is interested, of course she accompanies you."

"The prince is sleeping heavily now, let him sleep a little longer."

“……”

The two went to the back garden, the garden is full of flowers, plants, bamboos and stones, not far away from a delicate lake, facing the rockery in the west, the strange stones in the lake are numerous, the flowers and plants on the lakeside are fragrant, the two of them can't help but walk to the lake.

Bypass the rockery on the side, a few steps away is a pavilion, this pavilion is built according to the lake, leaning on the beauty of the waterfront side, leaning down and looking down, only to see hundreds of koi swaying and swimming in the lake. On the stone table in the pavilion, there was just a box of fish food, and Yun Niang took it and handed it to Wanying.

A few handfuls of fish food were sprinkled into the lake, and all the fish swam over. However, after a while, a small box of fish food was fed, and there was no fish food, and the fish that had been gathered together swam away again.

Not far away, a peony is blooming, get up and walk down the pavilion, follow the peony, along the rugged flower path, bypass a few rockeries, only hear a laughter, it turns out that after the rockery, there is a Fang Pavilion hidden next to the peony garden.

Everyone was originally laughing and laughing, but they were silent when they saw Wanying coming over. Concubine Liu got up, blessed slightly, and said coquettishly: "Niangniang Jin'an." ”

The three lovers who were originally stunned also hurriedly got up and luggage. In the afternoon, the birds sang and the flowers were fragrant, and Yun Niang helped Wanying into the pavilion, which turned out to be the Qushui Liuzhen Pavilion.

Liu's mountain peak swayed and walked to Wanying, and then said to Wanying with a coquettish face: "This year, the Shangsi Festival Mansion is very busy, and the concubines and sisters have never come here to play. ”

"That's right, last year's Shangsi Festival, Sister Meng invited the three of us to set up a Simei Society, where everyone drank tea and sang poems. It's so much fun. This year's princess's wedding, we will move to today, if the mother is interested, enjoy a face, and enjoy it with us? The speaker looked childish, and it was the youngest of the four, the Li family.

Wan Ying didn't speak, and Meng Shi also said slowly: "I have heard that Niangniang is talented, if Niangniang is willing to give us a guide or two, it is also something that the concubines can't ask for." ”

"It is this truth, Sister Meng is worthy of being a descendant of the Meng family, and she even speaks more eloquently than us." Liu said.

He on the side never said a word, and stood there silently. Wanying thought to herself: If you brush off their kindness, not only will they not be able to get over it, but I am afraid that the originally happy poetry meeting will also end in a hurry.

Thinking of this, Yanran smiled: "In this way, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

Liu, who was on the side, turned his head and said to his maid, "Go and fetch the clove tea I received." ”

Li said innocently: "Sister Liu is so partial, I have begged you a few times, but you refuse to give me some, and today you took it out before she opened her mouth." ”

When Liu Shi heard this, his eyebrows flew up, and he said with a smile: "I am happy when I see Niangniang, and I naturally want to give good things to Niangniang." ”
