366 Bright smiles
The two sisters looked at each other, if Concubine Shu didn't leave, what kind of situation would the queen mother face when she returned, would it be as calm as ever, or would it be stormy? For more than ten years, the powerful country and the peaceful harem have made them never know the hardships of wind, frost, rain and snow. However, their happiness is only because they were born in comfort, and once the comfort is broken, everything that has happened in the royal harem of all dynasties and dynasties will be repeated in front of their eyes.
Originally, for the joy of the parents' imminent return, it disappeared in an instant, and the palace people sent supper for the princess, Xiang Yuan only moved a few mouthfuls of excitement, and there was a cry in the house of the fifth prince, and the sister ran in response, she followed and stood by the door to watch, but saw Run'er also walked out of the door and went straight to her brother's house.
The younger brothers and sisters are so sensible and love each other, which makes Xiang Yuan have a firmer thought in his heart, she is the eldest sister, and she must protect her brothers and sisters.
And this night, the news of the emperor's imminent return spread all over the capital, the Beijing officials were temporarily free from the comfort of the court, and the people of the Ministry of Industry were glad that the four city gates were all repaired before the return of the holy car, but this is the second, the most lively topic, and the most anticipated picture, naturally the queen and the concubine Shu appeared in the same place again after more than ten years.
Early the next morning, Concubine Shu had already gotten up to dress up, Xia Chunyu was summoned, she stood behind Concubine Shu, and the third prince Xiang Hao followed in, causing Concubine Shu to blame: "Do you still have any chance, am I a tiger, will I eat her and kill her?" β
Xiang Hao was silent, and Concubine Shu got up and walked in front of him: "What did she teach you to be, your strange problem of infatuation is very similar to your father when he was young." Okay, I won't do what your woman does, what you should do, since your father hasn't let you get involved in the affairs of the court, you can only study hard, don't be compared to your young brother, you don't even look like an older brother. β
Xia Chunyu looked at the mother and son nervously, and just as Concubine Shugui had her back to her, she gave the third prince a look, Xiang Hao saw it, so he reluctantly responded, and left his mother's house one step at a time.
"You're really capable." Concubine Shu sneered, but in fact, she was envious. She wished that she could be like Xia Chunyu, so that she could firmly hook the emperor's soul, but unfortunately it was too late, she didn't even have a look.
Xia Chunyu lowered her head cautiously, nervously waiting for Concubine Shu to show off, but Concubine Shu said: "Follow me out of the palace to the prince's mansion, you should also see what the prince's mansion looks like, and you can take care of the family business for Hao'er in the future." β
"Yes."
"You deserve it, don't you think you have to be the princess?"
Xia Chunyu hurriedly bent his knees to confess, that kind of insignificance and humility without a bottom line can satisfy anyone's pride, and naturally it will also make Concubine Shu unconsciously give birth to a little light.
Concubine Shu said: "Don't kneel still, the child in your belly is important, if you have any mistakes, are you planning to instigate Hao'er and my mother-son relationship?" β
Xia Chunyu denied it again and again, stood up with the support of the palace people, and the concubine Shugui Erzhen changed her into more decent clothes, and after half an hour, she took Xia Chunyu in a carriage and went to the second prince's mansion.
Because there was no word in advance, Concubine Shu and her party came suddenly, Qiu Jingrou greeted the door in a panic, Concubine Shu didn't seem to find fault with her, but all the way into the door, all the questions were about her son's daily diet these days, seeing that her daughter-in-law answered like a stream, she suddenly stopped and said coldly: "I thought that you were recuperating these days and arranged for a young and beautiful maid to serve, and I ignored my husband." β
Qiu Jingrou's teeth were tight, so that she should not be afraid and frightened, but her mother-in-law was aggressive and asked her gloomily: "What are you planning, is it unwilling to serve my son, and it is troublesome to serve tea and water?" That's not what your brother said when he sent you, and how did you promise me? β
"Mother...... No, it's the sons who are infected with the wind and cold, and they are afraid that it will be passed on to His Highness. Qiu Jingrou tried to calm herself, but her legs under her skirt couldn't stop trembling. After all, her original purpose was that she didn't want to serve her husband anymore, she would rather Xiang Feng be surrounded by other women, and she would rather he have no more self in his eyes from now on, and she also wanted to have a moment of peace and ease.
Concubine Shu said coldly: "If he likes other women, of course you have to get out of the way, but if it is the other way around, you deliberately give women to him, then it is your immorality." How can you make the people of the world think that the second prince is fond of women and indulges in gentleness, so you want your husband to be embarrassed outside? β
Qiu Jingrou's originally trembling legs and stomach suddenly calmed down, her hands clenched into fists, and the pain from her nails made her sober. It turns out that the mother-in-law has nothing to fear, she is just a sad person, since she said so, the emperor only has the queen in his heart, of course she should also get out of the way and stay away.
Deserve!
Qiu Jingrou looked at Concubine Shugui, and in her seemingly timid and humble eyes, there were only these two words. Her mother-in-law will be sent to the palace for more than ten years, and she really deserves it.
"You're going to have to do it yourself." Concubine Shu put down these cold words and turned to leave.
Qiu Jingrou just wanted to follow, but she was scolded and didn't know what to do, but she was happy in her heart, she didn't want to stay by the mother and son at all.
Everyone was left outside the door, Xia Chunyu naturally too, she smiled at the princess kindly, Qiu Jingrou thought that they had the same fate, and also smiled kindly, and took the initiative to say, "I'll take you to rest, you are pregnant with a child, how hard it is to stand here." β
Xia Chunyu accepted the kindness of the princess, followed to the side of the room and sat down, and said a few polite words to each other, Qiu Jingrou had to wait in front of the door again because she was afraid that her mother-in-law would call her at any time, so she left Xia Chunyu to continue to rest here and left alone.
The hour passed little by little, I don't know what the mother and son were talking about in the house, they didn't quarrel loudly, and they couldn't hear a little laughter, Qiu Jingrou felt that it was her own heart, and she always felt that there was a gloomy atmosphere coming out of the house, and she had already received the news that the emperor was about to return from Pingshan, whether her mother-in-law would go or stay, and how the queen would treat the concubine, let her have something to look forward to.
"Madam, the nursing home in my uncle's house is here again." Suddenly, the maid beside her reminded Qiu Jingrou in her ear.
Hearing this, she was in high spirits, and looked towards the courtyard gate, only to see He Zhong walking in with his subordinates, Qiu Jingrou's irrepressible joy in her heart showed her face without any scruples, and He Zhong's appearance made the prince's mansion, which seemed to be shrouded in clouds, instantly become sunny.
However, at the same time of joy and happiness, vigilance and panic struck overwhelmingly, and the bright smile was fleeting, and when He Zhong walked in front of him, the princess had already regained her serious expression.
He Zhong bowed to Qiu Jingrou, and then went straight to the door, he seemed to have been specially summoned by the prince and Shu Guifei, at this moment, Qiu Jingrou suddenly began to worry, what kind of existence He Zhong had between her husband and brother. How can a person who is caught in the middle live peacefully?
But when the princess was entangled in this, she didn't know that there was another pair of eyes, and she saw the brightness and brilliance that had disappeared in an instant.
Xia Chunyu had been sitting for a long time and was also worried about being nagged by Concubine Shugui, so she wanted to come out and continue to wait outside the door, so coincidentally, she met a stranger who appeared in front of the courtyard gate, and her eyes unconsciously fell on the face of the princess, and all the changes in Qiu Jingrou were seen in her eyes.
Xia Chunyu came to her silently, but when she looked at the princess again, her thoughts were completely different.
On the same day, when Qiu Jingxuan left the Ministry of Works, he met the eldest princess who was waiting for him outside the door, such a familiar scene has not been seen for a long time, but the smile on Xiang Yuan's face is still the same sweet and cute.
Xiang Yuanxin said happily: "Father and mother have already left Pingshan, sooner tomorrow will be there, slower is the day after tomorrow, in the next few days I will be by the mother's side, probably not able to come to see you." β
Qiu Jing preached: "It doesn't matter, I will always wait for you, you can see me at any time when you want to come." β
Xiang Yuan said: "That's natural, it's only a few days, but I'm afraid you'll worry about me." She stretched out her hand and wanted to hold hands with Qiu Jingxuan, but this was in the capital, where officials came and went, Qiu Jingxuan hesitated slightly.
"In the future, you will become my colt, do you dare to hold my hand in the street?" The princess's smile is brighter than the sun, she has a light on her body wherever she goes, no matter day or night, no one can ignore her existence, and she is naturally domineering and proud, and ordered Qiu Jing to preach, "Forget it this time, no matter where you are next time, you have to take my hand and don't dodge." β
Qiu Jingxuan smiled and agreed: "I don't dare." β
Xiang Yuanwang looked at the lively streets and alleys and asked, "Where are you going today, no matter how big the capital is, it's just such a small place, and there is nothing new to walk around." β
Qiu Jingxuan thought for a while: "The people from the Ministry of Rites are here, mentioning the second princess's gift, the second princess's birthday is just around the corner, have you prepared a gift for your sister?" β
Xiang Yuan's eyes lit up: "That's right, I haven't prepared anything yet, it's better to go find a gift for Qin'er today, it just so happens that the queen mother is not there, so that the queen mother can't guess what I have prepared." β
But she touched her pocket and smiled, "I didn't bring any money." β
Qiu Jingxuan was pleased: "What's the trouble here, I'm here." β
These words made the princess so happy, she simply abandoned the carriage, and generously walked to the market with Qiu Jingxuan, talking and laughing along the way, no different from the past, at least in Qiu Jingxuan's eyes, Xiang Yuan was still the girl she met for the first time.
In this compartment, Shen Yun led people to pass by the roadside, the capital is indeed not big, and he can always meet him when he turns around, and he can't help frowning when he sees Yuan Yuan hanging out in the street market with Qiu Jingxuan like a girl from an ordinary people's family.
For all this, he has never been jealous, but he knows that Yuan Yuan's mind has changed, so he doesn't understand why Xiang Yuan is still so happy. , a better reading experience comes from.
