Chapter 38: Lang Loves Concubines
After sending the queen to the imperial temple, Jiuyu sat in the room and had a long talk with the queen, and the king of Changping was arranging big and small matters. Jiuyu let out a long sigh, "Niangniang, Jiuyu has something to say, but she doesn't know how to speak." ”
"I guess you don't say that I know, but for the sake of the prince?"
"I'm afraid it's hard for me to have an heir in my life, but the prince can't be without a queen."
"It's true that you say this, but how could the prince be willing to let other women give birth to an heir for him? You think about the prince, and the prince will naturally take care of your mind. ”
"I naturally know, that's why I want to discuss with my mother."
"What can you discuss with me, it's just that I want me to give you an idea, since you want the prince to have a queen, then the only way is to let the prince take a concubine, but the prince will definitely refuse. The emperor can't force the prince to take a concubine. Now the only way to do that is ...... You give way, and then ask the emperor to give the prince a concubine. ”
Jiuyu lowered her eyes, "I don't know, it's just ...... If I go to ask the emperor, the emperor will answer! ”
"With my understanding of the emperor, the emperor will agree, after all, you saved our lives, but the emperor is now fascinated by the Confucian nobleman, and I don't know what kind of disaster will happen."
"The nobles won't interfere with me anyway."
"Now that you've made up your mind, what else can you say?"
Jiuyu looked at the queen mother in front of her, and the two looked at each other and smiled, so Jiuyu made an extraordinary decision in her heart.
After Su Zisheng arranged the big and small matters, he returned to the room, "Queen Mother, everything has been arranged, when do you want to go back to the palace, squeak, someone will send you back to the palace immediately." ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang."
Jiuyu returned to the house with the king of Changping, and returned to the mansion, Jiuyu was tired all day long, and it was difficult to sleep and eat, she just kept thinking about how to talk to the emperor, and it was not too difficult to talk to the emperor, but how to talk to the prince was really difficult.
Xiran walked in with tea, "Niangniang, why is your face so bad?" ”
Jiuyu shook her head, "It's nothing, it's just a little tired." ”
"Then Niangniang should rest early, this is soothing tea, Niangniang is resting after drinking."
"You wait first, I want to talk to you."
Xiran was stunned for a moment, and never thought that the master wanted to chat with the slave. In fact, from childhood to adulthood, as long as Jiuyu has something on her mind, she will chat with Red Sleeves and Bixiang.
Xiran didn't say anything but smiled slightly, and sat aside, she and Jiuyu were more like sisters, and the two of them opened their hearts under the candlelight.
"You say, do I look like a good match with the prince?
"Niangniang, you are really worried, the prince is dignified, and the mother is the most suitable for the country and the city."
"If we had a son, wouldn't it look more compatible?"
"Is the mother still worried about the things of the children in the past?"
"If I say yes, doesn't it look a little petty?"
"Xi Ran thinks,It's not so much a little family.,It's more about affection.,If someone can forget their children.,I think this person is ruthless.,No matter what,Friendship is the most important.。 But the mother is really worried, whether there are children or not, the prince treats the mother really well. ”
"How could I not know, the better the prince treats me, the more I will not be able to bear it."
"Xiran can understand Niangniang's feelings, and I can't bear to have no heirs in my life."
"You know, but what about me...... But I can't give him an heir, seeing that the prince likes Yu'er so much, I really don't feel good in my heart. ”
Xiran let out a long sigh, looked at the worried Jiuyu in front of him, and said, "What did the prince say?" ”
"The prince didn't say anything, but I think I should give up my position."
"Give way? Mother, are you talking nonsense? ”
Jiuyu smiled slightly, "I think I've made up my mind." ”
After coming out of Jiuyu's room, Xiran has been coming to the kitchen with a sad face to prepare tomorrow's breakfast for Jiuyu, Changsheng is preparing refreshments for the prince, and Xiran feels very strange when she sees Xiran, she is happy on weekdays, why does she look sad today?
"What's wrong with you? But tired? ”
Xiran sighed, "I went to bring soothing tea to Miss just now, and Niangniang chatted with me for a while. ”
"The princess is chatting with you?"
"Yes, I didn't expect it either, but depending on the meaning of the mother, I'm afraid it's ......"
"What are you afraid of?"
"It's nothing, maybe I'm overthinking. I'll go first. ”
Changsheng frowned, looking at the back of Xiran leaving, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong, could it be that there was something wrong with the princess?
If there was no red silk that day, Su Zisheng and Murong Jiuyu would definitely be a pair praised by the world, how could they fall to such a point, the prince treated Jiuyu so well, but ...... After all, no one will have smooth sailing all their lives, let alone in the palace?
Early the next morning, Jiuyu dressed up in front of the copper mirror, the long black hair like a spring slid between the snow-white fingers, a coiled bun, the jade hairpin was loose and loose, and then inserted a branch of gold step, the long beads trembled and drooped, swaying between the temples, the eyebrows were not described, the skin was white and greasy like fat without powder, the lips were pursed, Yan was like a danguo, the coral chain and the red jade bracelet were compared between the wrists, and finally the crimson bead chain was worn on the wrist, white as snow, red as fire, terrifying and bright, bright yellow Luo skirt was worn, and the emerald ribbon was tied around the waist. Suddenly show that Na Na's figure, wandering in front of the mirror, all kinds of styles.
The eyes are like water, but with the coldness of talking, it seems to be able to see through everything, the ten fingers are slender, the skin is like clotted fat, the snow white is pink, it seems to be able to wring out the water, a pair of red lips, and a smile. Beautiful eyes flowed, like a pale butterfly that had lost its breath in the dark, her expression was indifferent, like a fairy who did not eat fireworks in the world, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile, like fireworks ethereal and gorgeous.
The moment he left the pavilion, Xiran's eyes widened, and the other little girls were stunned, and stopped what they were doing, today's Jiuyu was so different, Jiuyu just smiled faintly, "What's wrong?" So surprised? ”
"This is the first time Shizome has seen Niang Niang dressed up so exquisitely, is it a special day today?"
Jiuyu smiled, "Yes, yes, no, no, no." With that, he raised his hand, and Xiran gently helped Jiuyu to Su Zisheng's study.
Jiuyu came to the prince's study, without squeaking, walked in gently, and waved her sleeves to let Xiran retreat. Holding the stewed honey in his hand, he practiced loquat, "Lord Wang, rest for a while." Su Zisheng put down the brush in his hand, slowly raised his head, looked at Jiuyu in front of him who was as shy as a green lotus, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, slowly got up, and took the stew pot in her hand.
"Changsheng, you go down first."
With a wicked smile on the corner of Changsheng's mouth, he closed the door and walked out, and when he got to the door, he saw the accompanying Shizome.
"Miss Xiran, you don't have to wait here, your mother, I'm afraid I won't go back to the room today."
"You know again?"
"How long have I been in this mansion, I can see it clearly when I look at the eyes of the prince. Look at your mother's dress today, it's called a beautiful, and it's a man who has to be excited. ”
"When is my mother not pretty?"
"Yo, Miss Xiran is so protective of the princess, it's okay, let's withdraw quickly. We don't need it anymore. ”
Shizome smiled slightly, "I think what you said is also right, so let's step down." ”
Jiu Yu in the room sat on the chair next to him, gently picked up the stew pot in his hand, opened the lid, and the aroma of loquat leaves wafted out, "The prince was infected with wind and cold two days ago, although he was already well, but he still coughed at night, and I stewed honey loquat." Moisten your throat. ”
"Or you're more caring, that Changsheng doesn't care about anything."
"Jiuyu is the prince's pillow person, of course I want to think more, Changsheng can't think that it is the prince's education, or maybe he wants to give me a chance to perform."
"Jiuyu, it seems that you have changed since you returned home."
Jiuyu smiled and put the stew pot in Su Zisheng's hand, and then said, "Yes, people will always change, after experiencing something, it will become very different from before, I don't know why, the longer it is, the more I cherish it, you don't know how much I miss the life in the house when I am outside." ”
"It's all my fault."
"No, you're here to protect me, I don't blame you, so to speak, I used to blame, and now it's long gone."
"Jiuyu, you are beautiful today."
"Dress up like this, just for your husband."
Su Zisheng ate all the honey practice loquats, put the stew pot on the table, and then gently lifted the broken hair in front of Jiuyu's forehead, "Today's makeup and hair are so beautiful, let the husband paint your eyebrows for you." ”
"Lord Wang...... This ......"
"How?"
"It's nothing, the prince painted my eyebrows, and I was happy in my heart."
Jiuyu sat in front of the bronze mirror, Su Zisheng picked up the Yuanshan Dai on the table, and gently traced his eyebrows little by little, "Jiuyu's eyebrows are black without painting, and after a few strokes, it has become an embellishment." ”
"The prince is making fun, are you making fun of Jiuyu?"
"You are a martial artist, how dare I make a joke of you? If you don't say anything well, isn't it going to cause death? ”
Jiu Yu put her hand on the prince's shoulder, "The prince said so, but I don't look like a woman?" ”
"When did I say that?"
"What does the prince mean?"
"I mean...... No matter how great you are, you will be something in my pool. ”
Jiuyu was blushed by Su Zisheng's sudden words, Su Zisheng took the opportunity to hold Jiuyu in his arms, kissed her lips gently, Jiuyu slowly closed her eyes, at this moment, there was a light snow outside the window, such a cold winter, it made people feel a warmth in their hearts.
Xiran returned to the palace, and the little girl Shuang'er, who was cleaning up the table, asked strangely, "Sister Xiran is back, hey?" Why don't you see the mother? ”
"Niangniang should be sweet and tight this time."
"Niangniang thinks about the prince in her heart, the prince takes more care of the mother, the two of them are so affectionate, looking at the appearance of the mother today, she is really envious of others."
Fran, who was standing on the side, slowly raised his head, looking at Shizome's complicated expression, not only frowned, but then slowly lowered his head, and kept rubbing the corners of his clothes in his hands.
