Chapter 37: Cold Heart

After the candles in the hall were half-lit, Fu Qingjiao's body was delicate, and she looked tired and nested in Emperor Honghui's arms.

Emperor Honghui felt that this was the first time he had been so uncontrollable for so many years.

Surrounded by the delicate beauty curled up in his arms, he could feel the frenzy in his heart.

He still feels that he is pleasantly surprised that the beauty has him in her heart.

"Is the concubine willing to ...... tomorrow"

Before he finished speaking, he was replaced by a violent cough, but in a few moments, Emperor Honghui's face turned red.

Fu Qingjiao hurriedly helped Emperor Honghui to calm down, and Zhou Quan, who was guarding outside the hall, hurriedly walked in to feed Emperor Honghui medicine.

Fu Qingjiao was wearing a middle coat, and when she saw Zhou Quan coming in, although he was a eunuch, she still felt awkward.

After Emperor Honghui calmed down his breathing, Zhou Quan breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Quan asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to send Fu Cairen back?" ”

Emperor Honghui is reluctant to give up beauties, but according to the rules, concubines cannot spend the night by his side.

Even if there is a thousand reluctances, people can only send Fu Qingjiao back.

There have been many children in the harem over the years, but not many have really survived, and there are only three princesses and two princes.

It stands to reason that there is already a prince, and Emperor Honghui should no longer worry, but the prince born to the queen is only three years old this year, and it is impossible to predict how it will be in the future.

He needs more heirs to ensure the inheritance of the Great Chu River in the future.

But when he was only thirty years old, he could clearly feel that his mental strength was insufficient, and the closeness with Fu Qingjiao just now consumed his energy.

Another intention of sending Fu Qingjiao back was not to let her see his exhaustion.

After Fu Qingjiao returned to the palace where she lived, she immediately drank the decoction prepared by the palace maid.

This is a decoction that she deliberately searched for before entering the palace, and she knew the situation in the palace before, the princes are still young, if she gives birth to the prince, maybe she can still fight.

Originally, she wasn't so anxious, thinking that Emperor Honghui was only thirty years old after all, but tonight she could clearly see that Emperor Honghui's body was not as good as it looked.

Therefore, she must seize every opportunity and strive to give birth to the prince as soon as possible, so that she can fight for more voice for herself.

The bitter medicine filled her teeth, Fu Qingjiao's expression was indifferent, no matter how bitter the medicine was, it was less than one-ten-thousandth of her heart.

At sunset the next day, Fu Qingjiao frequently looked out of the window, waiting for the chamberlain to come and deliver a message and take her into Funing Palace.

But waiting and waiting, what I waited for was the news that Dong Meiren was summoned.

The hand hidden under the sleeve was tightly usurped, and Fu Qingjiao completely ignored the pain of her nails digging into the flesh.

She didn't have any expectations for Emperor Honghui from the beginning, but last night Emperor Honghui liked her far more than she expected.

So she thought that Emperor Honghui would let her go over to sleep tonight as he said yesterday.

Unexpectedly, even if she was in average health, Emperor Honghui would not treat her wholeheartedly.

Thinking of this, Fu Qingjiao couldn't help but laugh at herself.

She was deceived by a man's embrace, how could she expect a king of a country to have only her in his heart?

Fu Qingjiao put away her sadness and quickly regained the smile in her eyebrows.

What she didn't know was that Emperor Honghui summoned Dong Meiren to go over and didn't sleep, just because he didn't want people to know that he was not in good health now, so he summoned someone to go over to support the scene.

Emperor Honghui also misses Fu Qingjiao very much, but he is worried that he will not be able to control it anymore, and his body will be even more deficient.

On the third day, Emperor Honghui still couldn't help but miss it, and summoned Fu Qingjiao again.

Fu Qingjiao served her very gently, which made Emperor Honghui love her more and more.

And that's what Fu Qingjiao wants.

She did not hesitate to make herself the kind of person she looked down on the most before, and tried her best just to please a man, and this man was the most noble man in Da Chu.

A month has passed, and Fu Qingjiao has become the concubine with the most sleepers and the most favored.

Even the queen could not compare with her.

Fu Qingjiao was not proud of the pampering of the concubine, but had a respectful attitude towards the queen, and the queen had a good impression of her, when she was a kind and sensible little girl.

didn't know that Fu Qingjiao had quietly arranged her own people in the palace with the love of Emperor Honghui.

……

Xiao Xixi has been busy opening a teahouse for more than a month.

Of course, she is not satisfied with opening a teahouse, but wants to open a few more before she gets married.

A few days before the wedding, the fifth teahouse opened.

The teahouses are distributed in different locations in the capital, and the storytellers inside say the same thing, and there is a teahouse near each teahouse that belongs to the housekeeper.

In a short period of time after its opening, Qingmingju spread its fame in the capital.

Not only because of its excellent story, but also because of its unique taste and style of pastries.

I have to say that although He Xiu made some pastries that were quite scary, they were also very innovative, which also attracted many customers.

Because the nearby teahouses have more or less some influence.

Among them, the housekeeper teahouse is the most prosperous.

A discerning person can see that there are things in the housekeeper's teahouse, as if they were deliberately doing it.

However, the general guests don't care about these, the tea and snacks are good, and the storytelling is also interesting, so of course everyone is willing to go.

Guan Ruxue learned that the business of her own teahouse was affected, and only then did she understand why Xiao Xixi asked her where her teahouse was on the day she came, and she dared to have such a mind!

was about to teach Xiao Xi a lesson, but was stopped by Master Guan and sent her out of the capital to inspect the shop.

Xiao Xixi didn't know about this, and of course she was very pleased to learn that Qingmingju's business was good.

Although she used the original owner's private money and did not accept Gu's help, she also hoped that the money spent could be rewarded, so that she could open more teahouses and realize her dream of opening teahouses all over Dachu.

……

Before Xiao Xixi got married, the Xiao family sat down and had a meal together.

Unlike the usual, the atmosphere is dull.

Even Xiao Jinbao, who has always been lively and cheerful, didn't dare to speak, but just opened his eyes wide and looked at the adults around him.

Xiao Xixi didn't want to finish a meal like this, she was afraid that she would have indigestion, so she planned to liven up the atmosphere and took the initiative to raise her glass: "This should be the last time I eat with the whole family before I get married, I know that everyone is reluctant to let me go, but I still have to be happy, so that when I think about this meal in the future, I will be happy." “

Gu Shi felt that what his daughter said made sense, so he put away his sadness, and also raised his wine glass and said, "Xixi is right, we can't let her worry about us after she gets married." ”

The others followed suit, and the family shared a glass of wine.

Xiao Chongye put down his wine glass, his expression was heavy mixed with a little self-blame: "My father is incompetent, and I haven't been able to find out who caused the poison in the tea in the other courtyard for so long." ”

Xiao Xixi held the chopsticks and was about to pick up the vegetables, and it was not surprising that she couldn't find out, after all, after she learned that this matter was related to Caiyun, she took the initiative to help her erase the traces.

Caiyun is also a poor person, and the experience of her previous life is indeed that the original owner can't stand her, so Xiao Xixi doesn't want to worry about her, and she is afraid that the rest of the Xiao family will severely punish Caiyun when they learn the truth.
