Empress Pan didn't want any woman to share the emperor with her, and after so many years, she had long been accustomed to living a monogamous life with the emperor. Zhou Mingmu, who left the palace, sighed heavily, and in the end, the emperor played a round and let him out of the palace. The emperor put down his body and coaxed Qin Su, but Qin Su raised his eyebrows at him, he didn't have a good face, and said that the world was as black as a crow, which made the emperor angry.

This damn Zhou Mingmu is not shallow in harming people. For dinner, Lin Dongxian only drank a bowl of porridge, and she really had no appetite to eat, Xin Xia knelt in front of her bed distressedly, and said in a low voice: "Young lady, even if you are for the sake of the child in your womb, you have to eat a little more." Come, young lady, this is your favorite meat bun, can you eat two bites? Turning his head, he took a plate of meat buns from Xin Dong's hand and handed it to Lin Dongxian, as soon as the words fell, Lin Dongxian spit it out in a big gulp, and the bedding was full of filth.

Seeing this, Xin Dong hurriedly brought a basin and put it in front of Lin Dongxian, after Lin Dongxian vomited, she lay on the bed without strength, and waved her hand at them, "Let's all go out, I don't want to eat anything, no one is allowed to come in and disturb me, let me be quiet alone." ”

Xin Dong stood hesitantly beside her bed, and the next second she was pulled by Xin Qiu's clothes, signaled to her, and hurried out, since Lin Dongxian said so, they let her rest in the house and be quiet. When she heard the sound of the door slamming, Lin Dongxian's aggrieved tears flowed down silently, and she was looking forward to Zhou Mingmu's return, but now it is gone, replaced by resentment.

Zhou Mingmu's original oath was still in his ears, and then he betrayed his own oath and came back with a beautiful concubine. In the eyes of the world, a man should have three wives and four concubines, especially a man with a noble status. The emperor also has seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courts, not to mention them. Ordinary people live a good life as a monogamous person, support each other, and live a lifetime with each other.

Lin Dongxian married Zhou Mingmu for most of the reason because of his oath, and she was the only one in this life. It's only been a long time, and she forgot it, she couldn't help but laugh twice. Or did she have no beads, looking at Zhou Mingmu blindly, Lin Dongxian was holding the futon with both hands, and the child in her womb seemed to feel her discomfort, not moving, but sleeping obediently.

At this moment, Zhou Mingmu was sitting in the study angrily, Qin Su asked him to send Qinglian away, but before he could answer, he was torn off the topic by the emperor, and finally drove him out in a hurry. "Husband, can the concubine come in?" Qinglian's crisp voice sounded outside the door, disrupting Zhou Mingmu's thoughts, Zhou Mingmu came back to his senses and responded, Qinglian walked in with a bowl of white fungus soup, put it in front of Zhou Mingmu affectionately, and said softly: "Husband, you are tired of traveling these days, I asked the kitchen to prepare the white fungus soup for you, drink it while it's hot." ”

As he spoke, he scooped a spoonful and put it on Zhou Mingmu's lips, and Zhou Mingmu subconsciously frowned and turned his face away. His expression made the tears in Qinglian's eyes drip down on the spot, Zhou Mingmu heard her sobbing, turned around and took the white fungus soup in her hand and put it on the bookcase, and said lightly: "I'm not hungry, let's put it first!" Don't cry, hurt. ”

took out a silk handkerchief from her sleeve to help her wipe the tears on her cheeks, Qinglian suddenly raised her head and threw herself into Zhou Mingmu's arms, "Husband, do you regret bringing me back?" That's right, I'm just angry that the maid next to my wife is disrespectful to you, husband, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, are you good at beating me? Holding Zhou Mingmu's hand and hitting it on the head, how could Zhou Mingmu really do it to a woman.

"Okay, stop crying, I don't regret it." Zhou Mingmu opened his mouth and replied, Qinglian still had crystal tears in her eyes before she had time to wipe them, and asked directly: "Husband, are you serious, you really don't regret taking me back to the capital?" "What stupid things are you talking about, of course I don't regret it, don't think nonsense. I'll put this white fungus soup first, and I'll eat it later when I'm hungry. If you have nothing to do, go back and rest first, and I will read the book again. Zhou Mingmu said, his eyes fell on the "Art of War" on the bookcase.

Qinglian's hands were tightly wrapped around the silk handkerchief, and she murmured, "Husband, I still have something to say to you, but I don't know if you will be angry when you hear it?" What does this mean, I have something to say to him, I don't know if he will be angry, Zhou Mingmu has a bad premonition, what Qinglian wants to say to him doesn't seem to be a good thing. Zhou Mingmu pondered for a moment and said, "Say whatever you want!" ”

If you hold it in your heart for a long time, you are prone to depression. When Qinglian heard this, she said with a happy face: "Husband, I know that you are the best for me, husband, it is really a blessing that I have cultivated in my last life to meet you." Saying that, he unconsciously put his head on Zhou Mingmu's shoulders, took the opportunity to sit on his legs, and a pair of jade arms wrapped around Zhou Mingmu's neck, Zhou Mingmu didn't like such an ambiguous posture, so he hurriedly pulled her away and coughed lightly twice, "Qinglian, if you have anything to say, just say it quickly, I'm still waiting to read the book of soldiers." ”

Qinglian pouted aggrievedly and said, "Okay, I know." It's just that I heard the maids talking just now, saying that the lady instructed the maid Qingyan next to her to climb onto the bed of the county horse, and the county lord Yingxiu came to the door to make a fuss. She also relied on the support of the emperor and Concubine Su to teach the county lord of Yingxiu a hard lesson, and now I heard that the county lord of Yingxiu was given a leave of absence by the county horse and driven out of the Lang Mansion, I think the county lord is really pitiful. was robbed of her husband, and in the end, no one helped her get justice, and she had to face being abandoned. Husband, I'm not saying that Mrs. is not, but I feel sorry for the county lord. ”

Qinglian lowered her head and said, Zhou Mingmu didn't know about this, he had just returned to the capital, and no one dared to tell him about it, I was afraid that only Qinglian would tell him. In addition, the maids were still talking behind their backs that Mrs. had a great relationship with General Long Wei, and some even said that the child in Mrs. Longwei's womb belonged to General Long Wei! Husband, I'm not sowing discord between you and your wife, but I'm making my husband worthless.

You worked hard at the border pass with the soldiers to fight with the soldiers of Yueli Country day and night, but instead of understanding your hard work in the capital, Mrs. made trouble for you again. Ruining your reputation, husband, I am so angry that I really want to question my wife and vent my anger for my husband. Qinglian clenched her fists indignantly and said, her chest was uneven with anger, and her face turned red. Zhou Mingmu didn't expect Qinglian to say the next words, he had heard of the reputation of General Long Wei when he was on the border of Yueli Kingdom, and he led his troops to repel Wara.

He sent his entourage, the prince of Warat, to the capital to surrender to the emperor, and concluded a friendship alliance between the two countries. He made a great contribution to the peace of Da Viet and Warat, and the emperor rewarded him with great rewards. He was the son of Pingbohou, but he didn't know what made Pingbohou unhappy, so he expelled him from his house in a fit of anger and removed him from the family tree. These are just rumors from the people, and Zhou Mingmu didn't take it to heart.

Now that he heard these words from Qinglian's mouth, he said that he didn't care that it was false. Zhou Mingmu sat for a long time without moving, Qinglian knelt on the ground with a plop, her eyelashes like butterfly wings slightly lower her lip, casting a shadow under her eyes, and her expression was obscure.

"Husband, it's all my nonsense, I made my husband angry, I know it's wrong." snapped and slapped her in the face, and after two slaps in a row, Zhou Mingmu grabbed her hand and stopped her: "Qinglian, what are you doing, I don't blame you, on the contrary, I want to thank you, if you don't tell me, I'm afraid no one in the house will dare to tell you." Get up quickly, it's cold on the ground, be careful if you hurt your body, be obedient, get up quickly. ”

Stretched out her hand to help Qinglian up, Qinglian's eyes were glowing with a little fluorescence, her hands tightly wrapped around Zhou Mingmu's waist, against his broad chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat, she felt very peaceful. When the housekeeper saw this scene, he lowered his head heavily and coughed twice, Zhou Mingmu glanced up at him, only to see that he looked hurried, as if there was something big.

He was afraid of Qinglian's back, Qinglian let go of him knowingly, and the housekeeper stepped forward and said to Zhou Mingmu: "Young master, the county lord Yingxiu is here." "I just learned about the county lord of Yingxiu from Qinglian, and she came to the door, it's really fast! Afraid that the county lord Yingxiu was waiting for him to come back, Qinglian chased after Zhou Mingmu, "Husband, I'll go with you!" ”

"No need, you go back to the house and rest, obedient." Zhou Mingmu rarely stopped to comfort her, Qinglian shook her head reluctantly, "Husband, I'm worried that Lord Yingxiu will embarrass you." I'll go, I can make the county lord of Yingxiu have someone to get angry, husband, you can take me with you, I promise not to say anything. The pitiful look and the housekeeper's anxiety made Zhou Mingmu stop talking, turn around and stride away. The news quickly spread to the mouths of Xin Xia and several people, Zhou Mingmu took Qinglian to the hall to meet the county lord Yingxiu, whether to let Lin Dongxian know, this is a headache.

Xin Chun stomped his feet angrily: "What are you still hesitating about, the young master has brought that fox spirit away, and she can't tell how she slandered the young lady in front of the young master." There is also the county lord Yingxiu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, in case she talks nonsense in front of the young master, it is not bad for the young lady. I don't understand, what are you afraid of, why can't you go in and tell the young lady. Okay, if you don't go one by one, then I'll go to the general line! ”

In an instant, he turned around and entered the house to tell Lin Dongxian, but before he took two steps, he was pulled tightly by Xin Xia and Xin Dong, not letting her move, Xin Chun said with a puzzled face: "Why don't you let me go in and tell the young lady how good the young lady is to us, don't you know in your hearts." ”

"We didn't mean that, it's just that the young lady is pregnant, and we are worried that she will have fetal gas and hurt her body. It's not that you didn't see the young lady's appearance just now, and she was almost lost half her life by that fox spirit. If she knows that the county lord of Yingxiu is coming to the door, won't it block her? Xin Xia said worriedly, she didn't want Lin Dongxian to know, she didn't want her to be kept in the dark, but Lin Dongxian's body was not suitable to know these things.

"Then let's sit back and wait, let the county lord Yingxiu talk nonsense in front of the young master, and that vixen will also follow, I don't think it's good." Xin Chun puffed out his cheeks and said, a thought flashed in Xin Dong's mind, and he said in a low voice: "I'll go to the hall with Xin Xia to check the situation, if it really doesn't work, come back and tell the young lady, what do you think?" Xin Qiu nodded unconsciously: "This is okay." ”

It seems that there is no other way, and there is only that. Lord Yingxiu wore a lilac dress and reached the ground, and a butterfly on her feet danced in a cluster of flowers. Dressed in blue tulle, it looks clear and transparent, both real and illusory. A white brocade belt around the waist looks fresh and elegant. The eyebrows are like willow bends, the eyes are like lakes, the nose is small, high and straight, and the cherry lips are red without dotting. The skin is as white and tender as snow, and there is an elegant momentum in every gesture. The three-foot green silk on the head is black and shiny, and a wooden hairpin is obliquely suspended, the wooden hairpin is delicate but not luxurious, which complements this plain outfit.

Zhou Mingmu's gaze fell on her face, and she seemed to have a bad expression. Yingxiu County said: "Zhou Mingmu, you are back, the county lord has been waiting for you for a long time." "Wechen has seen the county lord, Chitose Chitose!" While Zhou Mingmu stepped forward to greet the county lord of Yingxiu, Qinglian followed behind him and bowed to the county lord Yingxiu. The county lord of Yingxiu snorted, "Zhou Mingmu, the county lord came to you today to ask for an explanation!" ”

These days, she was kicked out of Lang's mansion, but she didn't expect Lang Zhongming to hook up with the big girl Qingping next to her, and what made her even more distressed was that the relationship between husband and wife for so many years had no nostalgia in Lang Zhongming's heart. He actually went to the Zongren Mansion with the letter of resignation, and lost all her face as the county lord of the court. also ordered the housekeeper to drive her out of Lang's mansion, Lang Zhongming's actions towards her were all caused by Lin Dongxian, and she wanted to find the culprit.

The emperor and Qin Su favored Lin Dongxian, she didn't believe that Zhou Mingmu would also be such a person. Lord Yingxiu's words made Zhou Mingmu raise his eyebrows slightly, if he hadn't heard Qinglian tell him before, he wouldn't have been mentally prepared at all. Zhou Mingmu said respectfully: "The county lord, please calm your anger and drink a cup of tea to lower the fire." The emperor coaxed Qin Su in a low voice, but she ignored the emperor for a long time, let alone showed a smile.

The emperor spread his hands helplessly, "Su'er, I know that you and Lin Dongxian have a deep sisterhood, and I can't bear to see her being bullied by Yingxiu, didn't I help you get angry?" At present, Yingxiu was given a leave of absence by Lang Zhongming, and was forced to move out of Lang's Mansion and move back to the county lord's mansion. "According to what the saint said, the concubine and Dong Xian should be grateful to you!" Qin Su hooked his lips and smiled, the smile did not reach his eyes, and his tone did not hide the ridicule of the emperor.

The Emperor instantly: "......" Did he mean that? Not at all, why did Qin Su have to misinterpret his good intentions? "Su'er, although I am the king of a country, I still have many scruples. Zhou Mingmu made great achievements at the border at this moment and defeated the Yueli Kingdom. I heard that in the future, the regent of the Yueli Kingdom would come to the capital to deliver a war report, and would also discuss the conclusion of an alliance between the two countries.

Zhou Mingmu's contribution is indispensable, I can't condemn him because he took a concubine at the border, and I can't explain it to the courtiers. Since ancient times, men have three wives and four concubines, Lin Dongxian is pregnant, and Zhou Mingmu has accepted a concubine room, and there is nothing wrong with it. Su'er, you also have to be considerate of my difficulties. It's really not good, I decreed that Lin Dongxian be canonized as Mrs. Yipin, if she gives birth to a son, I will decree him to be canonized as the king of the county, what do you think? The emperor squatted down, held Qin Su's hand with both hands, and pleaded with a pleading face.
