Chapter 52: Marriage (Part II)

Qiu Yue and Liuli waited for Li Qing to take a simple bath, changed their clothes, and returned to the house, there was already a mother-in-law who changed the bedding on the bed, took out the white silk that I didn't know what to put on the bed, placed it in a red box, opened it and put it on the low table next to the bed, Li Qing stepped forward with a little shame, and covered the box with a "snap", and there was a gentle laugh from King Ping behind him, Li Qing's back was a little stiff, and he didn't look back, he went straight to bed and fell asleep, King Ping followed behind and also slept on the bed, stretched out his hand to circle her from behind, Li Qing moved inside, and King Ping's arm dragged her back with a slight force, and whispered close to her ear:

"Stay in the house for a few more days and then go to Zhuangzi, it's far away, I can't go to see you often."

"I'm tired."

Li Qing said tiredly, closed her eyes, the embrace behind her made her warm and safe, and after a while, she fell asleep.

King Ping frowned, but when he heard Li Qing's breathing soften, he looked up at Li Qing with some surprise, and saw that she had closed her eyes, and she really fell asleep immediately, and couldn't help but smile a little dumbly, and with a slight force on his hand, he hugged her tighter, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

The next day, Li Qing was gently pushed awake by Mama Zheng, Mama Zheng was full of smiles, saw Li Qing open her eyes, and urged with a smile:

"Madame has to get up, don't miss the time to go to the temple."

Li Qing turned her head and looked at the other side of the bed, Mama Zheng pursed her lips and said with a smile:

"Ye Mao got up at the beginning of his year to practice, and told Mao Zheng to call Mrs. again, saying that you are tired, let you sleep more."

Li Qing smiled slightly unnaturally, and waited for the little girl to finish washing with Liuli, sat in front of the dresser and let the combing woman curl her hair, and Mama Zheng brought a bowl of bird's nest porridge over.

"Madam, I'll wait for you to eat, you have to wear a big dress to the temple, it's not early at this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up."

Li Qing nodded, Mama Zheng stood next to Li Qing, and sent the bird's nest porridge into Li Qing's mouth with a spoon, just half of it, there was a sound of footsteps outside, the ups and downs were stable and consistent, Li Qing turned his head, and saw King Ping with a tense face, turned the curtain, and walked in, the room was immediately silent, the atmosphere suddenly became a little tense, Mama Zheng's hand trembled slightly, Li Qing raised her head, looked at her with a smile, and gently commanded:

"I'm done, Mama take it down."

Mama Zheng immediately bent her knees and put the bowl back lightly, Li Qing turned her head to look at King Ping, and asked softly:

"Do you want to change your clothes? The concubine called someone to wait for the master to bathe and change clothes? ”

King Ping was stunned, frowned, his face tightened, and only nodded after a while, and the mother-in-law immediately went out and called someone to wait for King Ping to bathe and change clothes.

Seeing that King Ping had gone out, Mama Zheng walked up to Li Qing and reminded in a low voice:

"Madame should personally wait for the master to change his clothes."

The mother-in-law next to her was also busy nodding, Li Qing raised her eyebrows,

"I'm too late myself, how can I wait for him?!"

Mama Zheng and her mother-in-law looked at each other and did not speak again. Not long after, King Ping wore a grand dress and entered the house, and Li Qing also dressed and stood in the middle of the room waiting for him.

Li Qing followed closely behind King Ping, went out of the door, the sky in the distance had already revealed the dawn, Li Qing followed into the car, the car shook slightly, and went forward, the car was warm and dark, King Ping stretched out his hand and gently wrapped it around Li Qing's waist, Li Qing stiffened and lowered his eyes.

Not long after, the car stopped at the gate of the temple, King Ping got out of the car, stretched out his hand to help Li Qing down, there were many guards and servants outside, and the chief of the palace had already bowed and waited outside, leading King Ping and Li Qing into the temple.

After the sacrifice came out of the temple, it was already after Chenzheng, Li Qing returned to Chunxi Courtyard, hurriedly changed into a big dress, ate a few bites of snacks, drank a cup of red fruit soup, Qiuyue and Liuli waited for her to change into a red background colorful silk waist shirt, a red soft silk long skirt, re-rolled a concentric bun, chose a Chaoyang single phoenix bead hairpin to insert, and put a pair of lotus seeds and rice-sized Nanzhu on her earlobe, Li Qing looked at the red figure in the mirror, frowned, Qiuyue said with a smile:

"It's the rule, these days, aunt...... The ladies are to wear red. Just be patient. ”

Li Qing pouted, King Ping had already changed into a dark cyan moire regular clothes, strode into the room, and stared at Li Qing for a while, this flamboyant red actually made her wear a quiet and gentle taste, the waist of the short shirt was just right, and the waist was slender and ...... Soft, King Ping took two steps closer, in the past half a year, it seems to have grown taller, it has reached his chin, King Ping lowered his head, looked at her, there was a southern pearl hanging on his white earlobe, and the faint pearl light was reflected on his fair and moist cheeks, which made people... Dazzling, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, she was nervous?! King Ping was suddenly in a good mood, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he asked in a soft voice:

"All ready?"

Li Qing lowered his eyes, nodded hurriedly, and no longer found fault with his gorgeous red,

"Well, let's go."

After King Ping finished speaking, he turned around and walked out, Li Qing was half a step behind, followed King Ping, walked out of Chunxi Courtyard, and walked towards Chunhui Courtyard.

Li Qing took three steps and made two steps, followed King Ping as quickly as a trot, gradually panted a little, and simply stopped, King Ping also stopped, turned to look at her, Li Qing gasped and said:

"Ye is walking too fast!"

King Ping was stunned, no one had ever said that he walked too fast! No matter how fast or slow he walked, they or they were always following closely behind, and she complained that he was walking too fast! King Ping was surprised, seeing the flush on Li Qing's face, a smile came up from the bottom of his heart, turned around, and slowly paced forward.

After walking for nearly two quarters of an hour, the two of them entered Chunhui Courtyard surrounded by the girl's mother-in-law, and there were more than a dozen girl-in-law standing at the door of the main hall of Chunhui Courtyard like goose wings, lifting the curtain high, Li Qing followed King Ping with low eyebrows and entered the main hall.

On the right side of the main hall sat the old lady Wen, there was a girl on the ground put two brand new mats, Li Qing was a little behind King Ping, knelt on the ground, and bowed two times and six times, and a mother-in-law used a red lacquer gold tray to hold a cup of tea and sent it to Li Qing, Li Qing took the tray, held it in both hands and presented it to the old lady Wen, and said respectfully:

"Daughter-in-law Li Qing invited her mother to tea."

Old Concubine Wen laughed, picked up the cup, took a sip, and Mama Huang immediately put the pair of jade pendants in the tea tray. Qiuyue helped Li Qing up, and Li Qing followed behind King Ping, recognizing his relatives one by one:

"This is the sixth uncle", "This is the fifth uncle, the fifth aunt", "This is the seventh uncle, the seventh aunt"......

After a while, I recognized Uncle Lin Yuntao and his wife, Lin Yuntao's wife Wang was slightly chubby, her round face was full of smiles, she looked amiable and hearty, took Li Qing's hand and looked at it with a smile,

"Madame, what an extraordinary bearing! It's the first time I've seen such a smart person! ”

Li Qing lowered his eyes a little shyly, Lin Yuntao laughed, and looked at Li Qing carefully and quietly, King Ping still had a stiff face, but the corners of his mouth turned up.

Lin Yunbo's wife Su is beautiful and refined, her eyes are a little high, and Wang introduced with a smile next to her:

"The third brother and sister are well-known talented girls in our Korean land!"

Li Qing smiled slightly, and Lin Yunbo respectfully pulled his wife and bowed.

It wasn't until the beginning of the afternoon that the confession meeting ended, and King Ping didn't even eat, so he went to the front yard, and countless things and countless people were waiting for him to deal with and summon.

Li Qing stayed in Chunhui Courtyard, waited for Mrs. Wen to eat with the Wang family and the Su family, and talked with Mrs. Wen until she was not right, and Mrs. Wen rested, and then returned to Chunxi Courtyard with Qiuyue and others exhausted.

Mama Zheng took everyone to the gate of the courtyard, Li Qing entered the house, bathed again, changed into a red shirt and red skirt, Liuli took a white chrysanthemum short top, a light yellow pleated Ruyi moon skirt, Li Qing was satisfied with the change, Qiuyue helped her loosely curl a simple bun, found a topaz hairpin head hairpin and plugged it in, Li Qing leaned on the east chamber rosewood arhat couch, pineapple soaked a cup of Lao Jun's eyebrows and brought it up, Li Qing took it, drank a few sips, sighed comfortably, Mama Zheng smiled and reported:

"Madam, Aunt Wen has sent someone to ask several times, saying that she wants to come to serve tea to Madame. There are also young ladies and young masters, and the ladies haven't seen them yet. ”

Li Qing frowned, and commanded with some impatience:

"The prince said, I'll see them tomorrow."

Mama Zheng's eyes flashed, she sat sideways on the couch, and asked in a low voice:

"Then is the prince going to accompany his wife to meet them tomorrow?"

Li Qing nodded,

"That's what he said."

Mama Zheng's eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles,

"Girl, I have seen it this day, the prince treats the girl so well! I'm still worried, the girl is young, that Aunt Wen gave birth to two sons, and has been a family in the palace for so many years, I am afraid that the girl will not be able to suppress her for the first time they meet, and it will be even more difficult to ambush her in the future, but I didn't expect that the prince was willing to accompany his wife to take this cup of tea, with the prince sitting in the array, and the identity of the girl is here, and that Aunt Wen will not be able to make any tricks! ”

Li Qing looked at Mama Zheng's smiling face a little speechlessly,

"Mama, after a few days, we will move to live in Zhuangzi outside the city, what are we going to do to ambush her?"

"If you move to Zhuangzi, can you still live for a lifetime? Always have to come back to the mansion, the girl is the princess's concubine, the mistress of this palace, this palace is the girl's sooner or later, where can these concubines not be accepted? ! ”

Li Qing hung her head helplessly, she didn't want to ambush anyone, in the past ten years, she has accepted almost everything in this world, but the only thing she can't accept is that a teapot has to match a few teacups, she is also a pot, for her, one can only be one. Before Li Yunsheng returned to the capital, she once wanted to find a little scholar she liked to marry, in this world, she lived the rest of her life as a couple, but Li Yunsheng returned to the capital, she knew that she couldn't get out of the hatred between the eldest lady of the Li family and her, so she thought about retreating to the end and simply going to be a surviving person, but now, she is trapped in Han Di, in the hands of the most powerful man in the world, she can't ask for the only one, and she can't get out, but at least, she asked for the right to escape, and she can hang the name of the princess, Live the life of the undead. What are you fighting with those concubines? It's not them who are the problem, it's the men.

"Mama, I don't plan to go back to this palace, I'm going to live in Zhuangzi outside the city for the rest of my life!"

Li Qing said indifferently, Mama Zheng squinted at her for a while,

"Good, good, good, the girl wants to live in the Zhuangzi for a lifetime, just live for a lifetime, the girl has this idea, how good it is to be with Yuejing in Hangu Temple at the beginning, why bother for more than half a year?!"

Li Qing looked at Mama Zheng in amazement, Mama Zheng was right, what is the difference between her future life and being a Dharma protector in Hangu Temple? Why didn't you understand this layer in the first place? Li Qing was stunned for a long time, unable to say a word.
