She immediately called Chun Late and Xia Yi in.

The two went to the clean room to serve Xu Lingyi to bathe, and Shi Niang put away some bits and pieces, then changed into obscene clothes and sat on the bed to wait for Xu Lingyi.

After a while, Xu Lingyi walked out with a slightly wet hair, pulled a quilt, and lay down on the bed upside down: "Sleep!" I'm going to the palace early tomorrow morning to thank you! ”

To the palace to thank you?

Eleven Niang was taken aback, but thinking that she had received so many gifts today, it seemed that she should also go and say thank you.

She said "um" and saw that Xu Lingyi had already lay down on her side.

Looking at the half of the bed he left for herself, Eleven Niang let out a long breath.

At least not a self-respecting person......

She arranged for Holly to be on duty in the east room, and after late spring and Xia Yi cleaned up the room, they tiptoed to the bedside.

A complete stranger who sleeps in a bed and spends the night together......

Eleven Niang couldn't help but hesitate.

Who knows what will happen?

The thought flashed, and his gaze fell on the man.

He turned his back to her, his body bowed slightly, one hand resting his head on his head, and the other hanging naturally on his waist, looking like he was sleeping deeply.

She calmed down and observed, and found that his breathing was long, but even.

Really asleep!

Eleven Niang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the person also relaxed.

But then she felt a little funny.

Although this man is a stranger, he has absolute power over her. Could he still scream when he pounced?

The thought flashed, and her little hesitation faded.

What does it mean to be married in two lives, don't you know it? Now that you are married, it is like having a handprint printed on the contract. Is it too late to regret it at this time? Isn't it a bit of a gesture?

Eleven Niang asked herself, and her mood slowly returned to peace.

She smiled and bent over, gently placing his arm around her waist into the covers. Then he turned around and blew out the lamp, pulled another quilt, and lay down lightly beside Xu Lingyi.

In the dark, a person's sense of hearing and smell will be more sensitive than usual.

The thin warmth emanating from Xu Lingyi's body and the faint aroma of wine overflowing between her breaths made her feel mellow and warm, and she suddenly fell asleep.

Tomorrow I will be thankful...... Can't go wrong...... You have to keep your spirits up......

In the haze, a strong arm grabbed her.

Eleven Niang woke up suddenly.

A pair of large, calloused hands had reached into the hem of her dress......

Shi Niang's eyes widened, trying to see clearly what style of sachets were hanging in the four corners of the tent.

But no matter how hard she tries, it's still pitch black.

There was a large, gentle hand that gently stroked her head.

Eleven Niang instinctively wanted to turn her face sideways to avoid those hands, but just such a small movement made her gasp.

She never knew it hurt so much to do such a thing......

"Can you call my maid in?" She whispered Xu Lingyi's consent.

Xu Lingyi's body stiffened visibly.

Eleven Niang is not in the mood to take care of other people's moods.

The experience just now was terrible.

One has no way to relax, the other is as eager as if to complete a task......

For a long time, Xu Lingyi didn't make a sound.

Never mind! Then wait until dawn......

Eleven Niang thought about it, but Xu Lingyi sat up staggeringly.

"I'll call your maid in!"

"Thank you!" Eleven Niang said softly.

After a while, Holly ran over nervously: "Miss, no, madam, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Fetch me water, I'll take a shower, and I'll change my clothes."

Holly looked at her in surprise.

Eleven Niang's patience ran out: "Isn't it okay? ”

No, Buqing's expression was flustered, "I'll go pour you water right away!" ”

The room lit up.

Eleven Niang soaked in the wooden barrel for a long time before her body gradually relaxed.

When she got dressed and returned to the inner room, Xu Lingyi sat on the edge of the bed and waited for her.

"Sleep!" He said in a light tone, "I have to get up early tomorrow." ”

Eleven Niang found that the bedding had been changed.

She nodded and got into the quilt that still exuded a faint *** scent.

Later, Eleven Niang had a dream.

She dreamed that she was being chased by a giant who had short calves and was caught up after barely a few steps...... No matter how much she begged for mercy, the giant would not let her go, and then opened his bloody mouth and swallowed her in one gulp.

Eleven Niang was sweating profusely when she was awakened.

Xu Lingyi beside her was alert, and immediately asked her, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's fine!" She let out a long sigh, "The quilt is too thick!" ”

Xu Lingyi didn't say anything, got up and called Holly to serve her.

What can be done?

Eleven Niang smiled bitterly, wiped her body with water again, changed her clothes and lay down again to sleep.

I just couldn't sleep anymore, and listened to the sound of the maids getting up and being washed outside.

Mother Du came out of the inner room, and her smile could not be concealed in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

She bent her knees and saluted Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang: "Congratulations to Master Hou, madam!" ”

Xu Lingyi nodded, and Eleven Niang lowered her eyelids a little uncomfortably.

Du Ma**'s smile deepened, and she put the white silk spread on the bed last night in the carved red lacquer box. Then I asked the kitchen to bring lotus seed soup.

Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang ate lotus seed soup, Xu Lingyi was "invited" to the hall by Du's mother, Mrs. Quanfu opened her face to Eleven Niang, and then combed the round bun of the woman's makeup, and inserted the Ruyi golden hairpin that the Xu family was destined to send.

Mother Du looked at the eleventh lady with delicate eyebrows and smiled in the depths of her eyes: "Let's go and say hello to Mrs. Tai." ”

Eleven Niang was surrounded by maids and followed Xu Lingyi to Mrs. Tai.

The third lady was serving Mrs. Tai to drink tea, and when she saw Eleven Niang, she greeted her with a smile: "Said that you want to go to the palace to thank you first, and then recognize your relatives in the afternoon?" ”

"yes!" Eleven Niang smiled and nodded.

The third lady showed an envious look in her eyes: "Then it's better to leave early, right?" so as not to delay the recognition of relatives in the afternoon. ”

Eleven Niang smiled slightly.

I saw that Mother Du handed over the carved red lacquered box to Mrs. Tai, and then whispered a few words in Mrs. Tai's ear, and Mrs. Tai's eyes stayed on Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang, revealing a gratifying smile.

Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang stepped forward to greet Mrs. Tai - because it was the first time and the second day of the wedding, the two respectfully kowtowed to Mrs. Tai three times.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Mrs. Tai smiled all over her face, and then took a carved red lacquer flower and bird box for Shi Niang as a meeting gift, "Some of the previous jewelry, you can take it and wear it!" ”

Because it was packed in a box, Eleven Niang didn't know what was inside, so she smiled and thanked her.

Mrs. Tai smiled and asked Du's mother to send them out: "Go early and come back early!" ”

Eleven Niang followed Xu Lingyi into the corner gate facing north and south, went to the courtyard where they received the holy decree yesterday, bypassed the halls of the seven rooms, and went directly to the Yimen of the outer courtyard, and then boarded the car and went to the palace.

The emperor was still in the early dynasty, and they went to the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace first.

The Queen Mother looks like she is only thirty-four or five years old, white and fat, and her appearance is very ordinary.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but be a little surprised by her image.

Xu Lingyi respectfully expressed her gratitude to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother said at length to Eleven Niang something similar to "If a woman is not virtuous, she will have nothing to do, and if a woman is not a husband, she will be righteous and ruined".

Eleven Niang stood respectfully, listened to her lesson, and kept secretly warning herself in her heart that she must look obedient and humble, so as not to provoke the eyes of the Queen Mother.

As he was talking, a palace maid came and said, "The queen is here!" ”

The Queen Mother stopped talking and said to Xu Lingyi with a smile: "It's just right, you don't have to go to the queen on purpose." ”

The queen looks about the same age as Xu Lingyi, with a medium build, delicate curves, a pair of phoenix eyes as big and long as Xu Lingyi, and a very sweet smile, she is a rare beauty!

There is no arrogance as expected, but it feels very kind and easy-going.

After greeting the Queen Mother, she looked at Eleven Niang with a smile: "This is the bride." "The sound is crisp.

Xu Lingyi respectfully replied "yes".

The queen smiled and said, "It's hard for you, come to the palace early in the morning to thank you." ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "This is not only the dignity of the royal family, but also the dignity of the Xu family." ”

The queen smiled and replied "yes".

Xu Lingyi was grateful for the ten tilts given by the emperor, and then the topic gradually turned to the queen mother's younger brother Shou Changbo: "...... Although the things in the kiln are good, the price is also expensive, not for ordinary people, and it has long become a genre of its own, and it is not easy to break in. I think it's better to find a place to open a kiln in Jingdezhen, the cost is low, and it comes quickly. ”

Shou Changbo was in the porcelain business of the inner house.

The Queen Mother was really interested: "...... Tell me about it! ”

Xu Lingyi talked about the shipping business during this time. How to buy low and sell high, how to hire a ship to run the sea, how to guarantee shares...... The Queen Mother was stunned when she heard it, and asked Xu Lingyi if she was also in the shipping business.

"I also listen to other people." Xu Lingyi said with a smile, "I've been in the northwest for a long time, and my knees hurt when it's windy and rainy. The doctor said that if he has foot paralysis, he must take care of it for a few years. So ask around and see if there's anything you can do to kill your days. ”

Eleven Niang glanced at Xu Lingyi thoughtfully.

The Queen Mother nodded with a straight face: "You have been fighting in the east and west all these years, and you are also going to rest for a few years." ”

As he was talking, the emperor came over in the morning.

Eleven Niang avoided the side hall with the female officials of Cining Palace.

Someone snooped on her. He also muttered in a low voice: "...... See, Yongping Hou's stepwife ......"

"It's so young......"

Eleven Niang sat there with a calm expression and let people look at her.

After about a pillar of incense, a female official came to lead her back to the Queen Mother: "...... The emperor is gone. ”

The queen also followed the emperor.

Xu Lingyi sat with Eleven Niang for a while, accompanied the Queen Mother to say a few gossips, and under the pretext that it was almost noon, she quit the palace and returned to the lotus.
