Chapter 174: Lantern Festival
Song Yixiao was embarrassed and angry when she heard this, and she didn't want to open her mouth and said, "I don't know who is more like wood?" It's been so long, and I'm staring at me dumbfounded! β
Jian Xubai was slightly stunned, and then laughed and ripped off the account with his backhand: "My beloved wife is so honest, how can my husband disappoint you?" β
The Eight Treasures tent fell, covering a room of spring.
The couch carefully built by the skillful craftsman with hundred-year-old rosewood only shook slightly, but Song Yixiao in the tent seemed to be in the stormy waves.
After the countless tides and tides, she was completely dazed and couldn't distinguish between north and south, east and west, and she was exhausted and climbed on her husband's shoulder and shouted to stop, but Jian Xubai bowed her head against her forehead, smiling: "Do you remember what I told you two days ago?" I told you not to regret it, did you? β
Song Yi smiled and recalled in a trance, embarrassed and angry, and pushed him weakly, but in exchange for his stormy kiss.
In the fierce intertwining of lips and teeth, the skin that is close to each other is extremely sensitive, like flames, like lava, hot to make people shudder, painful to make people dread, but also joyful to make people sink - time and space are forgotten at this moment, as if the whole world has only this six-foot brocade tent.
It's more like the whole world is just him and her.
Don't remember the past,
Regardless of the future,
In the present moment β
He's everything to her,
She is also his everything.
"That's it after all!" Although she said that she was prepared before leaving the cabinet, she really completed the transformation from a girl to a woman, and Song Yixiao was still uneasy.
He was her husband, she was his wife, and they were naturally attached to each other and had each other.
From the day she left the cabinet, she had been prepared for this.
It's just that the sadness of saying goodbye to her daughter's body, and the dust behind finally really getting married and sleeping together, make her still have an unknown fear of the future.
the helplessness of birth, old age, sickness and death; disagreements and conflicts between firewood, rice, oil and salt; Empathy and farewell to love after turning against each other......
The joys, sorrows, and sorrows of this life of Shaoguang are only a few lines written on paper, but they need to be engraved with each other's years of the morning and twilight of every spring, summer, autumn and winter.
From the moment they paid their respects in the main hall under the witness of their relatives and guests, until their souls returned to the Yellow Spring.
How can mortals who don't know the Ming Dynasty today see the ups and downs decades later at this moment?
So how can you not be afraid?
But because I don't know the Ming Dynasty today, there is also a faint expectation and imagination in the panic - in the sound of snow falling on the roof, the candles in the room are hazy and quiet, you are in the tent, I am also in the tent, you are by my side, I am in your arms.
At this time, no matter how much I am worried about the future, who can avoid vulgarity, not be confused, and change the pulse?
Compared with Song Yixiao's all kinds of tastes coming to his heart, Jian Xubai didn't have so many thoughts, he lowered his eyes slightly, quietly stared at his wife in his arms, and after his eyes swept over the distinct kiss marks on his cheeks, the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked up a touch of pleasure - yes, his mood at the moment was very simple, it was pleasure from the heart.
From the name to the substance, after having what you think, you are extremely satisfied.
Looking sideways at the outside of the tent, the original thick darkness has quietly dispersed, and a ray of morning light quietly shines through the window lattice, gently scattering all over the room.
Jian Xubai greeted its caress and closed his eyes comfortably.
β¦β¦ When Song Yixiao woke up, it was already the time to hold the lamp.
Compared with her at the moment, she is still sore and sluggish, looking listless, but Jian Xubai, who has already been neatly dressed, is full of energy, her eyes are blazing, the corners of her mouth are smiling, and her face is full of spring breeze.
"Hungry?" He was in a good mood and personally served his wife to freshen up, and said thoughtfully, "I asked the kitchen to stew chicken soup and bird's nest at noon, which will be just right!" β
"You got up at noon? Why don't you call me? Song Yixiao looked at the sky outside the window that had completely darkened, and had the urge to hide her face: as the housewife, she actually slept for a day without getting sick!
She could imagine what was going on in the house in private during the day!
Maybe even outside the house knows about it!
Will she be able to go out next?!
Jian Xubai saw her depression, smiled playfully, and said, "In the first month of the year, there is nothing to do, what are you doing to wake you up?" β
- He's going to be high-sounding!
After Song Yixiao cleaned up, the two of them went to the flower hall for dinner together, and said simply: "I have a few official tasks that were backlogged last year, and I have to go to the front study to dispose of them, and I will come back later." β
Although Song Yixiao slept all day, she still felt uncomfortable, and nodded when she heard this: "You go!" β
After he left, she was in no mood to pay attention to the snickering of the maids, so she roughly asked if there was anything going on in the backyard today, and told Jinxun to go to Zhiqin's place often, and then went back to the room.
After entering the inner room, she threw herself on the couch and continued to sleepβwhen she was sleeping soundly, she was awakened by her husband's kiss.
When he opened his eyes and saw that he was leaning over to be intimate with him, while quickly untying his clothes, Song Yixiao thought of last night's experience, and couldn't help but feel a little worried, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to push his shoulder, and said to him: "I'm too tired, how about two days?" β
"Good!" Jian Xubai lowered his head and bit her earlobe lightly, and said with a smile that he didn't call her up today, "If you're tired, even if you make up for sleep during the day, anyway, I don't have to go to the yamen - I can take care of things in the house inside and out!" β
Song Yi smiled: ".................."
That is, I don't expect to sleep at night?!
She didn't want to rely on herself, so she had no choice but to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and put down the tent by herself......
In the next two or three days, Song Yixiao was forced to faint in the morning - on the eve of the Lantern Festival, she finally couldn't bear to erupt: "Ming'er Lantern Festival banquet, if I lose face because I can't go, I won't be done with you!" β
Seeing that his wife was really angry, Jian Xubai reluctantly restrained herself: I finally let her sleep in the middle of the night.
On the morning of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Song Yixiao looked at the tired complexion in the mirror, and fiercely glanced at the culprit not far away, before he ordered with a wooden face in the laughter of Jinxun and others: "Apply more rouge!" β
It's just that she rarely wears heavy makeup, and after entering the palace on this day, it's just a matter of general friends, such as the county lord of Qingjiang, Xie Yiren and other acquaintances, all of whom saw the clues, and came up to care: "Why is the fat powder so heavy today?" But have you been tired lately? β
Song Yi smiled and prevaricated: "The maid's newly learned makeup, I have to try it!" But it's not good? I wouldn't have listened to them if I had known! β
This reason was so useful that everyone said, "Where?" It's the Bright Shine! It's just that I've never seen you dressed like this before, and I was a little surprised when I looked back. β
Song Yi smiled and said a few words humbly, and took the opportunity to lead the topic to the side - everyone had calculated the time when they came, and they didn't talk for a while, when an attendant came in and said that the phoenix was coming, everyone was busy and stopped talking, and they sorted out their appearances and prepared to welcome them.
After a while, the queen and Cui Guifei entered the palace with the queen mother on the left and right, Concubine Jiang Xian and Princess Yushan followed, and then there were other concubines and concubines.
After the queen mother's death, Song Yixiao swept it casually when she got up, and happened to see the warm lady - because of her position, although she was fortunate to be present today, she was not eye-catching in terms of dress or position.
It's just that she is really beautiful, and she shrunk in the corner with her head down, and still made many eyes look at her intentionally or unintentionally.
"Who's that?" Song Yixiao heard that many people from near and far were talking to each other, "When did there be such a stunning person in the palace?" Look at the dress position is not high, could it be from a humble background? β
"It has snowed heavily in the past few days, and many branches of the flowers and trees in the Mourning Palace have been broken, and it is extremely difficult to walk." The Empress Dowager didn't glance at the warm lady, and after sitting down, her eyes roamed around the hall, then she smiled slightly, and greeted the elder clan relatives who were close to Zuo, "Did you go well when you came over?" β
When the eldest princess of Zhenyang, the princess of Hengshan and other noblewomen of the same generation heard this, they hurriedly replied on behalf of everyone: "Thank you for your care!" Thanks to Niangniang and Your Majesty, I will wait for everything to go well! β
The eldest princess of Zhenyang said: "The snow has indeed been extremely heavy in the past two days, but since entering the palace, it has been sprinkled and cleaned everywhere, which is much easier than walking outside the palace!" β
"The queen is more thoughtful than the mourning family!" When the Queen Mother heard this, she smiled and praised Queen Su for being careful, "In the end, it is the emperor's wife, and she will share the emperor's worries!" β
Queen Su said respectfully: "The queen mother praised falsely, and the daughter-in-law also listened to the reminders of the concubines, but she didn't dare to take credit!" β
Everyone was busy saying that the Queen Mother was kind and amiable, the Queen was virtuous and generous, and the concubines were smart and clever - just in Song Yixiao's ears, the Queen Mother's sentence "Share worries for the emperor" seemed to have something in her words: The Queen Mother does not approve of King Zhao's struggle for the throne, this will say so, isn't it reminding Queen Su that she is considerate and considerate Emperor Jia, don't embarrass the emperor?
But Queen Su's answer was obviously not heard, or she didn't want to hear it.
"Also, if King Zhao hadn't shown his ambitions, it would have been fine, but Duke Ji Guo had even done the matter of forcing the palace as soon as His Majesty died, what else could he do except go to the dark?" Song Yixiao's response to the queen was not strange, "After all, Your Majesty is willing to miss the old love, but the prince may not!" Instead of counting on other people's compassion, it is better to seize the opportunity to win! β
She was thinking about it when she suddenly heard the queen mother order the princess and ask: "I heard that the side concubines in your palace are pregnant with twin sons?" β
The crown princess hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Back to the words of the emperor's grandmother: it is Sister Cui who is deeply blessed!" β
"A blessed child indeed!" The Queen Mother also smiled - but Cui Jianlian was obviously sitting under the crown princess, and her body had been significantly bulging for six months, but the queen mother only asked the princess, she didn't stand or sit for a while, she was very embarrassed - the queen mother didn't notice this scene, and only said to the princess leisurely, "It's no wonder that you have lost a lot of money these days, twins are rare, and it is indeed unusual to take care of ordinary pregnant women!" β
Before the words fell, Cui Guifei and Cui Jianlian's faces changed slightly!
When the Queen Mother said this, she was obviously dissatisfied with Cui Jianlian!
Fortunately, Queen Su and the crown princess hurriedly rounded the scene, and the former said that he asked the princess to help organize the palace banquet, so that the crown princess could clear it; The latter insisted that he accidentally blew a cold wind and lost weight after losing weight for several days without appetite - in short, it had nothing to do with Concubine Cui!
But regardless of whether their explanation is true or not, the Queen Mother's attitude is there, but tonight the Cui family's aunt and nephew are destined to sit on pins and needles!
"I heard that Ah Xuan was very busy for a long time before the year, and I want you to do it all by yourself, inside and out." After the queen mother gave the Cui family's aunt and nephew a look, she regained her kindness and kindness, and continued to shush and ask for warmth.
Song Yi smiled and dipped her husband's light, and received her kind condolences, "Are you tired these days?" β
"Empress Dowager Xie cares!" Song Yi smiled and said busily, "As a woman, it is within your duty to preside over the feed!" What's more, the husband runs around for business all day long, but it is even harder! β
β¦β¦ After this scene passed, the Lantern Festival banquet could be regarded as begins.
After three rounds of drinking, the scene gradually relaxed, Song Yixiao was playing with a white jade wine cup, watching His Royal Highness sing and dance, while laughing with his sister-in-law Nie Wuying, Jin Xun suddenly bent down and whispered in her ear: "Madam, the princess's maid just came over and said that the lady will meet at the changing place after you make an appointment, and you want to talk about things!" β
"Mother?" Song Yi smiled slightly, and subconsciously looked towards Wei Mengying's position - but saw that her mother was holding the wine bottle, smiling and talking to the noblewomen on the left and right, without even looking at her daughter, it didn't look like she was looking for her.
But this mother has always been good at acting - Song Yi smiled and groaned for a while, and said to Nie Wuying: "I'm a little drunk, go change your clothes, if you think it's boring, go play with Sister Xie and them!" β
