Chapter 77: Haunting Dreams
Rong happily hummed a small song from the western frontier and entered the gate of the Chengwang Mansion, and when everyone in the palace saw her, they were still silent, and they could hide as far as they could.
Looking at the panicked looks of the people below, Rong felt a little relieved. Although she did not have the support of the women's army, Zhao Mingtao did not come to her for trouble during this time, and let it go, so relying on the former Yu Wei, she still lived a nourishing life in this palace.
"You go and rest, I don't want you to serve here."
Rong sent Lan Dai away, walked into the house, threw the horsewhip to the maid who greeted him, and dissolved the hair: "Prepare water for me to bathe." The expressions of the maids were a little strange, but Rong, who was in a very happy mood, didn't pay attention.
In the large vermilion lacquer bath, the hot water was full of fresh rose petals, and Rong lay with his eyes half-closed. The four maids were silent and worked together in an orderly manner, washing the hair for the hair, massaging for the massage, and manicure for the manicure.
Rong's mood is very good, the business of the tea house is good, she is doing exclusive business, basically it can be said that the wealth is rolling, Liu Lizi is also very polite to her, and takes care of her. The family heard that she had been quiet during this time, and her mother-in-law agreed that her birth mother had brought her her favorite beef jerky, and most importantly, her father and brother had done a great job. If life can go on like this, it will not be bad until the day when Zhao Mingtao hangs up.
"It's alright, sis." The maid at the head whispered.
Rong stood up with the wall of the basin, revealing a youthful and slender and beautiful **, a maid hurriedly wrapped a large piece of powder blue cotton satin on her, helped her out of the bathtub and sat on the brocade couch in front of the window, and the maids wiped their hair and poured water.
Half an hour later, Rong Shi, who had changed into a red silk shirt and combed his hair smoothly and shiny, yawned tiredly: "What kind of fragrance is this, it smells good." "The room was filled with a sweet scent, which made people feel refreshed and comfortable, and I wanted to lie down and get a good night's sleep.
The maid at the head hurriedly smiled: "It's the new incense sent by the shopkeeper Wen in the tea shop, which is called Haunting Dream." said that it has a calming effect, and the slave is worried that the mother will not like it. ”
In the pastel fish play lotus leaf incense burner on the case, the curling green smoke swirled and rose, Rong glanced at it, covered his mouth and yawned, and said with a smile: "It's hard for him to think thoughtfully." ”
The maid at the head is good at observing words and feelings: "Do you want to rest for a while?" After receiving Rong's affirmation, the maid made the bed and quietly withdrew with everyone.
Rong slowly got up and entered behind the screen.
The light behind the screen was dim, the red brocade tent hung low, and the red satin quilt of the mandarin ducks playing in the water faintly shone with a gorgeous and indifferent light. Rong Shi lay down and whispered comfortably: "What kind of broken quilt noodles for mandarin ducks playing in the water!" In exchange for this, it's still this! If it hadn't been embroidered by her biological mother, she would have hinged him to pieces.
"Isn't it good for mandarin ducks to play in the water? It's time for us to have a round house, don't you think, Princess? A dark shadow obscured all the light in front of her.
Rong's face turned white, and she pulled the quilt to sit up, but she found that her head was dizzy and her legs were weak, and she had no strength at all.
Zhao Mingtao playfully took the dagger in his hand and shook it at her: "Are you looking for this?" This is the murder weapon! Remember, you can't just appear in the bedroom, it's not in accordance with the rules! His hand was raised, and the dagger was nailed to the beam with a cold light.
Rong tightened the quilt and said in a dumb voice: "What are you going to do?" Shameless, if you have the ability, you can fight with your aunt and grandmother, what kind of incense do you order? ”
"You're wrong, I just want face, so I use this incense for the princess, this incense is not a fascination incense, it is an aphrodisiac incense, called a haunting dream, haunting dreams, entangled overnight. In the future, you won't have the face to see Liu Lizi, it's really unruly! Zhao Mingtao sneered, and his clothes fell off him one by one.
Rong Shi was shocked by something, and said in a dumb voice: "I don't, I don't." ”
Zhao Mingtao smiled fiercely: "Do you want to kill me with Liu Lizi, so you can marry him?" Although you are nothing in my eyes, I will not cheapen him for nothing. He wants to pick up, and he can only pick up a piece of junk that I throw away and don't want. ”
Recently, the disagreement between him and Liu Lizi has become bigger and bigger, and Liu Lizi sent people to secretly probe him, and sent his situation to the new emperor one after another in the form of secret music, and he knew everything. The hateful woman, arrogant and domineering, doesn't know how to advance or retreat, and wants to cuckold him?
He viciously tore off Rong's underwear: "If you want to blame, blame yourself for being too ignorant!" If you go about your days behind closed doors, and count your money, I may not touch you. The big red cotton tent hung down layer by layer, covering everything in the rosewood bed, and also hiding the tears in the corners of Rong's eyes, Zhao Mingtao's crazy and desperate eyes.
Xia Ruibei looked at the table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and only felt that the taste was the same as chewing wax, and she had no appetite at all. The girl of the cloth was a little panicked: "Madam, you can eat a little more, these are all carefully prepared for you by the master order the kitchen, and you should eat more for the little boy in your stomach." ”
Fang'er walked in and whispered in Xia Ruibei's ear: "I went over there, I heard that I won't be back tonight." That, that, got started. ”
Xia Ruibei said expressionlessly: "Got it." "God help her.
————————————————
In the small courtyard of Wenyuan Street, Da'er clenched her little fists and slept soundly on the side, Xia Ruixi spread her hair, fell on Ou Qingjin's knees, and talked about her experience today.
Ou Qingjin took a horn comb in his hand, combed her hair one by one, and asked and interjected in a low voice from time to time.
"I think it's a little strange that he's going to go to great lengths just to say those few words to me." Xia Ruixi played with the colorful jade parrot hanging from Ou Qingjin's waist, "I slowly became mature after hearing what he said, I was really angry." ”
"Don't pay attention to him, just be crazy when he's crazy." Ou Qing said softly. Zhao Mingtao has never been able to let go of Xia Ruixi, right? But Xia Ruixi, because he doesn't love it, the more entangled the other party is, the more annoying he is.
Xia Ruixi raised his head and looked at him: "Qingjin, why did you never ask me about the past?" ”
"Don't move." Ou Qingjin skillfully pulled up her hair, tied it into a bun, and fixed it with a golden hairpin: "Ask you what to do?" You used to love horseback riding, and you were naughty. He's uneasy and kind, it's normal to know you. Besides, didn't you forget it all after wrestling? ”
"yes." Xia Ruixi's favorite thing is Ou Qingjin's attitude, how tolerant! didn't chase and beat those bad things that some didn't. If he really asked her, she wouldn't have an answer to him.
Ou Qing lowered his eyes and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "As long as you don't suddenly remember the past one day, you don't think I'm good." ”
She remembered the past, and thought he was bad? Xia Ruixi tilted his head to look at him, he was calm and generous on the surface, but he was actually not comfortable in his heart, he was very worried, right? Also, some people are always thinking about their wives, which man will feel better? He's already doing pretty well.
Xia Ruixi smiled and hugged his head, and his tone was resolute: "No, never." Unless you disappoint me, I don't think I'm sorry for you even if I think about it 10,000 years ago. ”
Ou Qingjin hugged her waist tightly, buried his head in her chest and arched one by one, greedily enjoying her fragrance and softness, and asked vaguely: "What is it that disappoints you?" ”
Xia Ruixi fixed his restless head: "You know, why do you have to ask me again?" If you're going to change your mind, I'm disappointed. ”
Ou Qingjin finally smiled a little: "You won't, and neither will I." ”
Xia Ruixi said domineeringly: "Even if I will, you will not be allowed." ”
Liang'er knocked lightly on the door outside: "Fourth master, madam, otherwise the slave and maid will bring the food in and use it in the room, right?" ”
Ou Qing cleared his throat and looked at Xia Ruixi: "Madame has the final say, wherever it is." ”
"Let's eat in the house." Xia Ruixi grinned, went to open the door, and was speechless all night.
On the second day, because Ou Qingjin didn't need to go to the yamen, the two of them had a rare leisure, and they gossiped on the bed, until Liang'er came to urge, saying that Da'er was looking for his mother, and the two got up.
When Liang'er set up lunch, someone came to look for Ou Qingjin and said the latest news.
said that the Rong family killed two personal maids early in the morning, and went to Xia Ruibei's courtyard to make trouble, and fought with the people sent by Zhao Mingtao to guard there.
The people brought by the Rong clan were too small to be defeated, so they had to leave, and after only a few steps, they fell to the ground. The people around her were crying in fright, and Lan Dai ran to kneel in front of Xia Ruibei's door for help.
Xia Ruixi ordered someone to carry Rong in, and went to invite Zhao Mingtao and a doctor. Zhao Mingtao didn't go back at all, but only sent a carriage to send the Rong family back to Chengwangfu.
It was almost noon before Zhao Mingtao went to the palace and took the bad luck of Lan Dai and a few other people around the Rong family, saying that they were jealous of the princess and making trouble, which greatly lost the dignity of the palace. The board was beaten, and the board was played, but there was no emotion left, and Rong was stunned again.
Ou Qing only took two mouthfuls of food, and someone from the General's Mansion came to invite him over. Ou Qingjin went and came back when he was in charge of the lamp.
A few days later, it was the day of Mrs. Xia's funeral, Xia Ruixi had to go out again, and when she went out, she simply handed Da'er to Aunt Yu to watch.
This time, Xia Ruixi raised his vigilance and tightened his nerves, but he didn't see Zhao Mingtao appear, nor did he see Xia Ruibei, until the funeral procession was about to start, and he saw Xia Ruibei's carriage coming slowly, Fang'er came over and asked Xia Ruixi to come over: "Our lady said that she is a person, please ask the fourth lady to come over and be her companion and talk." ”
Xia Ruixi raised his eyes to look at Ou Qingjin, and Ou Qingjin nodded: "He went out of the city today, not here, you can go." ”
Xia Ruibei was half-lying and half-leaning in the carriage, and when she saw Xia Ruixi coming, she stood up and smiled at her: "I thought you didn't dare to come over." ”
"How so?" Xia Ruixi put his hand on her lower abdomen: "How is it?" There is no edema in the legs and feet, right? Why doesn't my face look good? ”
Xia Ruibei smiled bitterly: "Can you look good?" ”
Xia Ruixi was silent for a moment: "He likes this child, right?" ”
"It seems that I like it very much, the supply of good fish and good meat, I have been asking for pulse for three days and two days, and I must ensure that his cub lands safely." Xia Ruibei was a little absent-minded, "Rita didn't cry for too long that day, right?" ”
"Nope. Later, I will bring him to play with you. ”
"I wonder what day it is?" Xia Ruibei smiled self-deprecatingly and closed her eyes tiredly: "You go back." I'm really sorry, please come over, but I can't say a few words, I just, I want to see you. ”
Xia Ruixi saw that she seemed to be in a very bad mood, and originally wanted to comfort her a few words, but seeing her tired appearance, she had to say goodbye and leave.
After walking a short distance, he heard a neighing of the horse behind him, and someone exclaimed: "The horse is startled!" Fast! Hold the horse, steady the carriage! ”
Fang'er cried out in despair with tears: "Madam! Madam! ”
Xia Ruixi went from head to toe, and slowly turned around.
