In the blink of an eye, the long summer is gone, and it is late autumn.

Chu Xuan and Su Xintang have been husband and wife for a few months, the two are in their youth, and they are having their first taste of boudoir pleasure, as long as Chu Xuan is not entangled in miscellaneous things, the two can stick together almost all day long, and they are really envious of others.

Chu Xuan was very good to Su Xintang, so good that not only was Leng Er jealous in his heart, but even Su Xintang himself felt a little embarrassed. It can be said that now not only is the entire harem decided by Su Xintang alone, but there are many major events in the court, if she wants to interfere, Chu Xuan will most likely consider her opinion.

However, Su Xintang knew in his heart that the better Chu Xuan was to himself, the more he should cherish it. Therefore, in the military and political affairs of the imperial court, even if her father Su Haochen begged hard, hoping that she would blow the pillow wind, she would never mention it to Chu Xuan.

is also because of this, the two are very harmonious after marriage, but the fly in the ointment is that they have no children for the time being. But Chu Xuan is not in a hurry, Su Xintang is naturally not in a hurry, Chu Xuan is not even eighteen years old, she is only sixteen, and the days are still long.

...

The Imperial City, the lake in the back garden.

Su Xintang lazily leaned on the railing of the promenade, chatting with a few maids around him, and at the same time loosened the bait held in his palm little by little, causing the koi in the lake to compete for food.

"Miss Leng'er, what time is it? Has Your Majesty dispersed?"

Usually at this time, Chu Xuan was not by Su Xintang's side, but was in Fengtian Hall to deal with political affairs.

Originally, Chu Xuan didn't like going to the court, but he couldn't stand Su Xintang's persuasion, so he obediently went to the court every day. With Chu Xuan's efforts, Zhou's military and civilian affairs have gradually returned to normal, and even some places have done better than when Chu Mo was alive.

Leng Er on the side said respectfully: "Hui Niangniang, it's going to be time soon, do you want to let the people in the imperial dining room put out the lunch first?"

"Not necessarily. You've been waiting with me for a morning, so you're hungry at this time, so let's take the other palace people to eat first. I'll wait. Su Xintang said softly. Since becoming the queen, her eldest lady's temper has become more and more restrained, and she has become much gentler than before.

Leng Er hurriedly said: "How can this make it, how can there be slaves and maids who eat in front of their masters, let alone the palace, that is, the family of merchants in Kyoto, there is no such rule, how dare slaves and maids do this." ”

Su Xintang looked up at Leng Er and said with a slight smile: "Miss Leng Er, you are a few points younger than me, I regard you as a sister in my heart, and I have never been a slave." You are not only my sister, but also my and Your Majesty's housekeeper, if it weren't for you, this huge harem, where could I and Your Majesty manage it. ”

Leng Er hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in a low voice: "Leng Er doesn't dare, serving Your Majesty and Niang Niang is what Leng Er should do, where do you dare not know what to do, and have a relationship with Niang Niang." ”

I don't like to hear that at all. Su Xintang shook his head, suddenly stretched out his hand to grasp the other party's hand, and led her to sit down beside him. Leng Er naturally didn't dare to refuse.

"Miss Leng'er, you tell me the truth, do you like Your Majesty?" Su Xintang blinked his big eyes, stared at the other party's same big eyes, and asked quietly.

Leng Er was stared at by her uncomfortably, her face turned pale, she hurriedly got up and took a few steps back, knelt down again, and said in a panic: "Niangniang, Leng Er... Leng Er never has this kind of non-trivial thought, please be clear. ”

"Why did you kneel down again. Seeing her behaving like this, Su Xintang wanted to laugh in his heart, so he hurriedly helped her up and said, "Sister, if you really like that guy, sister will help you and let him give you a name." In the future, the harem of Zhou Guo will be decided by our sisters, and he will never be allowed to find other women to come in. ”

Leng Er didn't listen to her tone like a joke, and she froze in place for a while, not knowing what words to say to thank her, so she actually cried with a whimper.

"What's the matter, Sister Leng'er, are you unwilling? If you don't, then I won't tell him. Su Xintang saw her crying, and thought that she didn't want to marry Chu Xuan.

Leng Er shook her head desperately and explained: "No, no, Leng Er is just too happy and cried with joy." Niangniang's kindness to Leng Er will always be remembered in Leng Er. ”

Su Xintang was relieved and said with a smile: "Alas, you girl, it's so funny." By the way, Sister Leng'er, I don't know what your name is?"

When Leng Er heard this, she replied: "Niangniang, Leng Er has been an orphan since she was a child, and she only knows her surname Leng, but she doesn't know her name. ”

Su Xintang said: "In the future, you can call me sister, or Sister Su, don't call me Niangniang anymore, it's not close at all." ”

Leng Er nodded, Su Xintang turned around, and saw that there were still a few residual lotus flowers on the lake that had not yet withered, so he said: "Since you don't have a name, my sister will give you a name, and you will be called Leng Lotus in the future." ”

"Cold lotus. Leng Er read it a few times in her heart, and said happily: "Thank you, Sister Su, then I will be called Leng He in the future." ”

The two talked and laughed for a long time, and it happened that Chu Xuan also returned to the palace, so Su Xintang took her hand and asked her to dine together.

...

At night, after some lingering, Su Xintang took out the matter promised to Leng Er during the day and discussed it with Chu Xuan.

"What? I heard you right, do you want me to make Na Leng'er a concubine? I said Miss Su Er, are you giving your husband away, do you understand?"

On the couch, Chu Xuan hooked her neck with one hand and pulled the futon with the other, and asked in disbelief.

At this time, it was already autumn, and the weather was gradually getting cooler, and both of them were naked, so they were naturally a little afraid of the cold.

Su Xintang shrank his head into the quilt and said, "I'm not kidding, I can see that Leng Er has always liked you very much, before I married you, you were always in Kyoto and someone took care of you, I'm not wrong, right?"

"That's true, but because of this, am I going to marry her?And, my second miss, aren't you afraid that if I take her into the harem, will you fall out of favor because of this?" Chu Xuan said with a smile.

Su Xintang suddenly stopped talking, stretched out his hand to reach out to an indescribable place under Chu Xuan, sneered twice, and said, "I don't think you have the guts, you say, do you dare?"

Chu Xuan suddenly broke into a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, what do you say, Tang'er, I'll just listen to it." ”

Su Xintang only deliberately scared him, and when he saw that he softened, he said, "Ah, you stupid person, look at what scares you." Then it's decided, you will marry Miss Leng into the door before the New Year's Festival. ”

Chu Xuan saw that she insisted on marrying Leng Er as a concubine, so he didn't say anything more. Leng Er has been with her for so long, just a name, and it doesn't hurt to give it to her.
