Chapter 62: Duanyang Festival

Li Yu stopped, looked back at her, and his eyes burned: "He is Xu Weiguang, Xu Weiguang, the former Xuanwu captain of the Liangzhou Army." ”

Hearing this name, her heartbeat fluctuated violently, and an inexplicable sadness and sadness passed through her heart, which took a while to ease.

After two or three laps, she gradually adapted to the horse under her, and Li Yu began to teach her how to exert force and move her hands and feet, extremely gentle and patient.

An hour later, Shen Yining was already sweating profusely, his legs were very sore, and he staggered several steps before he stood firm when he dismounted.

"Rokuro, can I come back tomorrow?"

Li Yu took the sweat towel and wiped the fragrant sweat on her forehead and jade neck, her little face was flushed, very cute.

"Well, I'll come with you tomorrow."

However, in the past few days, Shen Yining has become more and more comfortable with horseback riding, and even Li Yu praised her for her talent. Shen Yining was terrified in her heart, her proficiency was likely to be the reason for the muscle memory of this body, and the original owner of this body must also be good at riding horses. Soon she was able to ride the horse on her own and gallop freely on the racecourse.

A few days later, Shen Yining went to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion again to visit He Yijing.

This time, Zhuo's family was much kinder, took her hand and entered the Hou Mansion with a smile, and enthusiastically led her to the courtyard of Jing Niang: "Master Hou has repeatedly explained, I will treat you well, Mrs., you are sisters, and you must have a lot of thoughtful things to say......"

It turned out that Xuanpinghou knew about this, and it was thought that Li Yu had already written to Xuanpinghou to inform Xuanpinghou of this.

Aunt Qiu Ci is very good at reading her face, and led Bai Zhi out of the house, leaving the two alone to say some intimate words.

He Yijing was relocated to the original courtyard, and the house was completely new, the charcoal fire burned a lot, and the house was warm. She saw that it was the concubine of King Qi, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "Thank you Madame for helping you and saving Jing Niang's life." Madam, you are the reborn parents of Jing Niang, and Jing Niang will definitely ...... for you."

Shen Yining hurriedly pulled her up, and seeing that she was still stubbornly kneeling on the ground and refused to get up, she pretended to be annoyed and said, "If Jing Niang refuses to get up, I won't come to see you anymore." ”

He Yijing finally got up, his face worried: "Madam, Jing Niang is wrong, don't annoy me." ”

Shen Yining pulled her to sit down on the chaise longue, with a smile on her face: "I'm joking with you, why panic, come and sit down." ”

He Yixing's face was still a little pale, staring at the charcoal basin on the floor in a daze, hollow, like a beautiful puppet doll without blood. Now she is only about twenty years old, and she estimates the days, she should have married into the Hou Mansion as a concubine at the age of fourteen, and she has been married to the Hou Mansion for seven years. I heard that Xuanping Hou Liao Chun has always doted on her, but unfortunately Zhuo's is not a good lady.

"Jing Niang, you relax, now that your ninth brother has returned to Beijing to take up his post, with him supporting you and me here, life will be better in the future."

Jing Niang Mu Ne nodded, her eyes gradually blurred, and she said intermittently: "Madam, I understand, I just want to live well, if so, if I can have a child, it will not be too lonely." When I conceived that child, I was full of joy, not for anything else, not for great wealth, but for myself to have a sustenance. He'sβ€”he's six months old, and his mother-in-law says he'sβ€”he's a baby boy in human form......"

Being a concubine is involuntary, and there are many sufferings, all depending on the wishes of the master and the master's mother. She is weak, and she has nothing to do, and she has no children to live by, so she is indeed a desolate and miserable person.

Jing Niang suddenly remembered something, and looked at her sympathetically: "Madam, Jing Niang heard Jiu Ge mention and mention you before, and he didn't dare to rush to ask you for help." Mrs. and Brother Jiu are also fated. It would be nice if you were my sister-in-law, madam. ”

Shen Yining was stunned for a moment, glanced out of the door inadvertently, and said in a low voice: "Jing Niang, the past cannot be admonished, and the comer can still be chased." In fact, you and I are no different, we are both concubines and Israel, and now we still have a little bit of love and grace from our husbands. However, those who use sex to do things will love the love of the color decay, and the love of the love will be gracious. We always have to plan for ourselves so that we can live freely and freely in the future. ”

He Yijing raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes lit up slightly, and the anger on his body seemed to have returned.

Shen Yining put her hand on her wrist, her pulse was gloomy, she was cold and weak, she must have been anxious and depressed in the past few years, if she wanted to conceive a child again, I was afraid that it would take a lot of hard work.

"Jing Niang, don't worry, you are still young, I will help you take good care of your body, over time, you will be able to get your wish."

Shen Yining didn't want to comfort her so much, in her opinion, children are not the most important thing in life. But in this day and age, children, especially sons, are indeed the most useful and effective bargaining chips.

It's May, midsummer is approaching, and the weather is getting hotter.

Hearing that the civil strife in the Nanzhao Kingdom is intensifying, the eldest prince and the third prince of the Nanzhao Kingdom have openly started a war. Moreover, the barbarians on the southwest border also had a faint intention of rebelling against the imperial court, and the Tuozhou Assassin Shi wrote to the imperial court twice in a row, requesting the opening of the Jishantang in Tuozhou to relieve and manage some of the displaced people who poured in from the southwest border. Li Yu had been summoned to the palace a few days ago to discuss matters, thinking that the situation in the southwest was not very peaceful.

And Chang'an, the imperial capital far to the north, is still peaceful, laughter, and everyone is preparing for the festival lively.

Aunt Qiuci led the maids in the house to get busy and began to make longevity threads and Baisuo zongzi. Longevity thread, also known as five-color thread, is a ribbon made of five-color silk thread, during the Duanyang Festival, the lady Langjun will wear it on the body, drive away bad luck, prolong life. The so-called "Baisuo zongzi" is to wrap various colorful silk threads and woven grass ropes on the zongzi to pray for good luck and smooth sailing.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the Duanyang Festival, the saint will summon the elegant ministers in the Liangyi Hall and feast on a large scale. The queen will also feast on the officials and their daughters in the Linchuan Courtyard, and gather together to have fun in the garden. A large group of people will also gather on the banks of the Qushui River to enjoy the dragon boat races hosted by the royal family.

Early in the morning, Shen Yining had been woken up by Bai Zhi and Poria Cocos. She sat in front of the makeup box, half-asleep and half-awake, as the two of them fiddled with her makeup and bun. Today, she wore a carmine straight-sleeved double-finch print blouse and a smoky purple ruyi embroidered satin silk skirt, a thin shawl, her hair was curled in a bun, and her delicate temples were dotted with white fat hairpin flower tassels. dignified and steady, not stealing the limelight, and also revealing a bit of cleverness and delicateness.

As soon as she got out of the carriage, the grandmother in front of her led her and Bai Zhi to walk forward slowly. Not far away, there are already scattered officials and ladies chatting.

Halfway through, a bright and generous woman's voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Lady, lady, please wait a moment, may I ask if the lady is the side concubine of His Royal Highness King Qi?"
