Night in the Cave House
The room was full of red, and I felt as if I had fallen into a big red dye vat. The red candle is printed with the red window flowers, and there seems to be a figure swaying outside the window.
Unexpectedly, the prince and the princess had a candle night in the cave room, and some people dared to listen to the room. Listen to it, and I promise you'll hear what you want to hear.
Someone listened, but no one took off my red hijab. Forget it, no one will reveal it, I'll reveal it myself.
Tearing off the hijab, the partner next to me was still sitting upright, and I took a closer look, and it turned out that our groom, the official prince, was napping with his eyes closed.
"Your Highness? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”
"Well, it's a chirp, it's a chirp."
"What is Your Highness eating?"
"I'm eating the braised pork trotters that Ah Jiu made for me."
Ah Jiu and braised pig's trotters really complement each other and are interesting to each other, Ah Jiu, that is, Xie Jiu, was originally the daughter of a butcher, she grew up making pig's trotters since she was a child. Probably because the pig's trotters have a very beautiful effect, the butcher's daughter was selected to enter the court with her outstanding beauty when she was fourteen years old, and became a talented person.
Because he was born in the market, he knows how to observe words and flattery better than the daughter of the official family, so he has won the favor of the queen. Just before the prince's wedding, he was personally sent to the East Palace by the queen to teach the stupid prince to perform the Dunlun ceremony.
Although the prince is dull, it is the brain that is dull, not anywhere else. Moreover, God created man, always destroying one thing and adding another, just as the blind eyes will have special ears. Our crown prince, it is said that this is the case, the brain is useless, but in some places it is particularly effective.
So Ah Jiu, who can burn pig's trotters, stayed in the East Palace and burned pig's trotters for three months, until last night, that is, on the eve of the wedding of I, the crown princess, I still burned pig's trotters with the prince in the prince's dormitory all night.
This morning, it was supposed to be the day she moved out of the prince's bedchamber. Her task was successfully completed, and the crown prince was officially married, so she should let the new crown princess enter the base, and the idle people avoided it.
But the master is always reluctant to let go of the apprentices she brought out, especially unwilling to become "idle people". Is it easy for people to work hard to bring out an apprentice? He had just been taught a little bit of skill by hand, and everything still needed to be further learned and improved, so he was going to serve others. When the master's heart is unwilling and sour, I can still understand a thing or two.
Fortunately, this is not an ordinary apprenticeship, which in itself is creative work. After a lot of hard work, there is likely to be a surprising harvest.
Xie Jiu and her apprentices also brought out surprises, but she kept her patience and didn't show her mouth, waiting for this time today.
Just as the palace maids had packed her clothes and urged her to go quickly, she lazily leaned on the soft floor, leisurely ate the grapes, and slowly declared that she had not arrived for three months, and that she was probably pregnant.
As soon as the news came out, the imperial doctor ran out of breath and rushed to it. Even the queen hurriedly put down the wedding matters at hand, and Feng Jia came to the scene of the pulse diagnosis, wanting to confirm the news of the imperial heir as soon as possible.
The result of the imperial doctor's pulse is: Xie Cai has the joy of the dragon vein!
At this time, the prince's bedroom was full of joy, and countless people knelt down in front of the queen. The queen was so happy that she didn't know anything else except to say: "There is a reward, there is a reward".
You know, the queen only has such a precious son. The queen is already a half-old, and the emperor has long stopped touching it, but has given birth to one prince after another with his endless new concubines. The queen hasn't given birth to a child for more than ten years, and every year she just watches other women give birth to her husband's child, what does it feel like in her heart?
Now, it doesn't matter if she can't give birth to a child, it's the same with her son's woman giving birth to a grandson. In this way, at least it can be guaranteed that the emperor's throne will not fall to those princes who are concubines.
As the mother of a silly prince, her psychological pressure is great. If this silly prince does not have a smart and normal male heir, even if he is the only concubine, his position as crown prince is likely to be lost.
It is said that Xie Jiu originally took the opportunity to be coquettish and wanted to continue to stay with the prince, but unfortunately she was mistaken by being smart, and it was for this reason that she was carried out of the East Palace in a soft sedan chair. Because, the queen said, pregnant women must have a quiet pregnancy, and they can't be like the crown prince anymore, otherwise they will endanger the safety of the precious emperor and grandson.
Xie Jiu was dumbfounded. But the words had been spoken, and the imperial doctor had also checked the pulse, and the queen stared at her stomach and waited for her to get up, and she had to leave if she didn't leave.
Although reluctantly, Xie Jiu still hugged the eunuchs and palace maids, proudly holding his stomach, and left in a gorgeous soft sedan chair. Leaving a listless prince who still eats her pig's trotters in his dreams.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you like to eat braised pig's trotters very much? I'll do it for you tomorrow. With a smile on my face, I tried my best to please him.
In any case, the night of candles in my cave can't just go by. If the eunuch in the Jingshi room can't reply to the queen tomorrow morning with the red silk cloth, I won't be in the palace in the future.
After several harassments, the prince finally opened his eyes, and after looking me up and down a few times, he pushed me and said, "You are so ugly! You are not allowed to sit on my bed! I want Ah Jiu. Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu, where are you? ”
Outside the window, there was a faint sound of eating and laughing. Maybe there wasn't laughter, it was just a hallucination.
"But I'm your crown princess, do you understand? It's your wife, and your wife is the one who has to sleep in the same bed with you. ”
Obviously, he didn't understand the princess or the meaning of his wife, he was still clamoring for Ah Jiu, and began to look for Ah Jiu all over the house. Finally, he ran to the door and wanted to open the door to look for Ah Jiu outside.
I hurriedly rushed over and blocked the door with my body, took out something and shook it in front of his eyes, and sure enough, his eyes lit up: "What a big cricket!" ”
Of course it's big! This is the cricket king that cost me five thousand taels of silver, "Then, does Your Highness want it?" ”
"I want to want", the prince stared at the cricket king in the small golden cage, and his eyes glowed with greed.
The pressure Xie Jiu brought to me suddenly disappeared, it turned out that it was so easy to get the crown prince. What if Xie Jiu really gave birth to the emperor's grandson? I'm afraid that in the eyes of the prince, her son is not as attractive as a cricket. It is useless for her to rely on her son to compete for favor, and it is even more impossible for her son to compete with my son for the future crown prince, she was born too lowly, and I am the daughter of the prime minister.
I went to bed with the golden cage in my hand, and the prince followed me to bed.
Using crickets as bait, I finally completed what I should have done on the night of candles in the cave room in the sound of crickets, and I did not become a laughing stock in the palace.
The prince touched the cricket cage next to the pillow and fell asleep contentedly. I dodged him from a distance, curled up in a ball, trying not to think about another wedding, another night of candles in another cave in another palace not far from here.
Someone else's paradise, my hell.
