You must know that the Marquis of Changping is fifty-two years old this year, and there are six concubines in the family. Not only that, because of the death of his previous wife, he only married a new step-room the year before last, and it is said that the step-room is only eighteen, and he is a concubine of a wealthy family.

Now that this beautiful wife and concubine are in her arms, this Changping Marquis is not enough, and he wants to marry Li Rumei again?

Seeing Shi Miaoyu asking, the subordinate shook his head and said: "Back to the princess, this subordinate didn't inquire about it, but I only knew that Marquis Changping went to Li's house last month, and it didn't take long for this matter to come out." ”

Hearing this, Shi Miaoyu sighed, only felt a little messy in his head, because he said, "I know, you go down first." ”

What Li Rumei said today, Shi Miaoyu didn't understand it at the time, but now she understands it all.

No wonder she is so disheartened, no matter who is allowed by her parents to be a concubine for a man in his fifties, she will not be able to think of it. What's more, the situation in Li Shilang's family is not bad, and Li Rumei is a dignified concubine, where did she end up like this?

You must know that in this family with some status in Beijing, they would rather marry their daughters to lower families as their main wives than allow them out to be concubines, shame!

This is also why, when Qiu Yingyao and Shi Qingsong insisted on entering the door to be concubines before marriage, the Qiu family was so angry that they wanted to cut off relations with her.

At that time, Shi Qingsong and Qiu Yingyao were still the same age.

And now, Li Rumei is married to a fifty-year-old man, and she is still the seventh concubine.

If you say that you are a concubine when you marry in the past, isn't that still a concubine?

In Western Chu, noble concubines will have a dowry and some status in the palace. But how much status there is at this point depends entirely on the mood of the housewife.

If the master mother is ruthless, then the concubine is also a plaything. In this world, how many people can be like Qiu Yingyao?

Not to mention that Changpinghou himself is not a good thing, with Li Rumei's heart, it is already obvious that he will go to the end.

Thinking of this, Shi Miaoyu was a little unbearable, she wanted to help Li Rumei.

But how can we help?

Although she is the princess of Anling, she has no relationship with the Li family, and she is just a friend in the boudoir.

And Li Rumei was married, it was the order of her parents, she is an outsider, and there is really no reason to interfere.

What's more, Li Rumei did not ask for help from herself.

In the end, Shi Miaoyu just sighed and ordered someone to come, if Miss Li came, she must bring someone over immediately.

If she comes to her for help, she will do her best to help her. But if you act rashly like this, it is not good.

Moreover, people always have to stand up, and when they are constantly broken, others can save a lifetime if they can save a lifetime.

......

It's just that Shi Miaoyu didn't wait for Li Rumei.

Until Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Rumei did not come to her, let alone ask someone to pass the word.

Because the Spring Festival is approaching and there are many things in the house, after Shi Miaoyu instructed the maid that day, he was soon stumped by other trivial matters, but he didn't have time to think about Li Rumei's affairs.

By the time she was idle, it was already Chinese New Year's Eve.

These days, there is a lot of turmoil in the court.

Since the prince married Princess Qingluan, his state has been much better than before, not only the trade-offs on both sides of the East Palace have played extraordinarily well, but even the court is obviously much calmer.

The emperor was naturally very happy about the prince's change, and praised the prince in his words.

The second prince is not angry with the prince's recent spring breeze, and he has also come out frequently these times, and he has attracted a group of courtiers in the court, so he gave the prince all kinds of stumbling blocks.

The two people in this compartment were hot, but Gu Qingchi in that compartment was watching coldly.

Since the emperor let him cultivate in the mansion, Gu Qingchi really didn't care about everything on the surface, which made the busy and anxious court even more chaotic.

They hugged theirs, while Gu Qingchi accompanied Shi Miaoyu in the mansion leisurely.

Even though she was so busy that it was just a trivial matter in Gu Qingchi's opinion, he was happy to do it beside him.

The husband and wife are happy with each other, like a paradise, isolated from all troubles.

However, in this paradise, there is always a moment to connect with the outside world.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, even Gu Qingchi was unwilling, and he also wanted to take Shi Miaoyu into the palace.

When I opened the window in the morning, I saw the wind and snow howling outside.

With just one glance, Shi Miaoyu quickly closed the window, and said, "It's starting to snow again this day." ”

At the beginning, the joy of seeing the snow has passed, if you don't have to go out at ordinary times, Shi Miaoyu is still interested in taking a few looks, but now to catch up with the day when you want to go out, and then see the snowy day, I feel that it is particularly unbeautiful.

Seeing her move, Gu Qingchi smiled slightly, walked over and grabbed her hand to warm her carefully.

There is a charcoal fire burning in this room, if you don't open the doors and windows, it's fine, this little open to breathe, people will shiver.

Gu Qingchi didn't care, but Shi Miaoyu was raised with a delicate temperament, and he couldn't stand it for a moment.

When his large hand reached out, he instantly wrapped his palm in a piece of warmth.

Shi Miaoyu squinted warmly, and asked with some hesitation: "Master, do you want to go over by yourself later?"

Although it was Chinese New Year's Eve, I didn't know what kind of wind the emperor was smoking, so he ordered several courtiers to go to the imperial study first, and among them, there was Gu Qingchi, who had been resting for almost a month.

Shi Miaoyu always felt that the emperor's stomach was full of bad water, but there was no reason to stop Gu Qingchi from going, so he had to tell him for a long time.

At this point, he was about to go out, but he was worried again: "Otherwise, the concubine will accompany you?"

Although this night is the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, those nobles only go to the palace in the afternoon. But if accompanying Gu Qingchi to go over in advance can play some role just in case, she doesn't mind going early.

Seeing Shi Miaoyu's cautious appearance, Gu Qingchi couldn't help laughing, reached out to hold her in his arms, kissed her in the hair, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this king knows it." ”

He's not so stupid that he doesn't know if he's calculated.

Besides, after today, he could probably guess what was going on, it was nothing more than the restlessness of the Northern Desert and the battle between the DPRK and China.

However, Gu Qingchi still felt very useful for Shi Miaoyu's concern, especially holding Wen Xiang Nuan Yu in his arms, which made him reluctant to go out.

Shi Miaoyu didn't know what he was thinking at the moment, he heard footsteps outside the door, sighed, pointed to the door and said, "Master, you should go." ”

Don't think about it, it must be Zhao Yang outside the door.

Originally, the things that followed Gu Qingchi out were all handed over to Zhou Jin, but now that the green branch is older, and it is inconvenient for her to travel in the cold and freezing weather in winter, Gu Qingchi changed his position, which is not only convenient for taking care of his little wife, but also able to help him do things.

Such errands that had to run around were handed over to Zhao Yang and them.

Seeing that Shi Miaoyu was about to push herself away, Gu Qingchi felt a little emotional, stretched out his hand to hug her, and sighed: "This king really doesn't want to leave." ”

For a moment, he just wanted to hold Shi Miaoyu in the house for a day, and he didn't care about any intrigues.

In the end, however, reason triumphed over emotion.

He let out a long breath, lowered his head and absorbed enough energy on Shi Miaoyu's lips, and then let go of her and said, "That's it, this king is gone." ”

As for Shi Miaoyu, she didn't speak at all.

Not because of anything else, but because the woman in his arms had already blushed and heartbeat from his sudden and strong kiss, and even began to breathe unsmoothly.

It wasn't until Gu Qingchi left that Shi Miaoyu took a deep breath, patted his somewhat hot face, and went out to tell the maid to come in and clean up.

......

Today's snow has been falling hard since the morning, beating on the screens, and by the afternoon, the snow still shows no sign of subsiding, and it is still tearing and tearing.

But even in such a battle, she still had to enter the palace, not for anything else, just for a palace banquet that was destined to be boring and boring this night.

The sky was not good, and the road was difficult to walk, so Shi Miaoyu went out half an hour early.

But Rao is like this, and when he arrived at the palace gate, it was already almost night.

Without him, it is just because such a road surface is too difficult to navigate, and not only that, but from time to time people will slide on the icy road.

When she arrived at the palace gate, the waiter who had been waiting for her welcomed her in, and the maid could only stay at the palace gate and wait.

Because Gu Qingchi entered the palace in the morning, Shi Miaoyu could only go to the banquet place alone under the leadership of the palace people.

In previous years, the palace banquet was presided over by the queen, but as soon as the queen died this year, the person who presided over the overall situation was replaced by Liu Guifei.

Since the death of the queen, she has become the most noble woman in the palace, and the emperor gave her the phoenix seal to take charge, and today's occasion is naturally more respectful to her.

When Shi Miaoyu arrived at Jiaolan Palace, she saw that many women were already sitting beside Concubine Liu, who were flattering and talking to her.

Seeing this situation, Shi Miaoyu looked at it quietly, and could only sigh secretly in his heart, it was really feng shui in turn.

The women who were still around the queen last year to please have brought their long-sleeved dancing skills into play to Liu Guifei this year.

Oh no, there's another one.

Wearing an alizarin red satin pinched placket palace dress, wearing a pair of two-color satin peacock thread beads and hibiscus soft-soled shoes on his feet, surrounded by beads and emeralds on his head, and wearing a dingdong on his body, when he spoke, the pearls and jade burst out, although his face was still charming, but the corners of his eyes already had lines, and he was no longer young.

It was the concubine who gave birth to the second prince.

She is almost forty years old this year, but she was only promoted to concubine this year.

Although she gave birth to a second prince, because her appearance is not top-notch, and she is not very favored, she has been suppressed by the queen in the palace over the years.

It wasn't until after the death of the queen that Emperor Xu was trying to balance the previous dynasty, and Xu finally discovered her goodness, which promoted her from the original nobleman to a concubine.

and is still one of the four concubines.

The queen's suppression over the years has failed to smooth out Concubine Shu's temper, and now that the queen is dead, she can come out, and she wants to make the people present notice her existence more and more.

The second prince told her before that he wanted her to help win over the wives of these courtiers, so today's concubine Shu is extraordinarily smiling and smiling, and she wants to talk to everyone.

Shi Miaoyu didn't take a few glances outside the hall, and saw that the lady concubine was trying her best to talk to those noblewomen.

It's a pity that except for the courtiers and families who followed the second prince, the other noblewomen didn't like her very much.

After all, the birth of this concubine is not very good, her father is just a small official, and she was only a palace maid when she was elected to the palace.
