Chapter 16: Return to the Palace
One
On the morning of the Khan's return to the palace, thin snowflakes floated in the sky, fluttering and dancing all over the sky, adding a bit of auspicious atmosphere to the already festive palace.
Ye Hu accompanied the dressed queen and led the ministers to wait outside the royal court, waiting for the sweat car to come slowly.
Princess Ning Guo was dressed up exceptionally beautifully today. She was wearing a bright red cloak, embroidered with the pattern of Danfeng Chaoyang, inlaid with gold-rimmed corners, rolling white fox hair, lined with a round and jade hibiscus powder, brighter than snow, brighter than flowers, which attracted the ministers to secretly look sideways, and even Ye Hu, who was used to seeing it on weekdays, couldn't help but be moved.
Such a beautiful woman, as soon as the old man returns, she will have no share of her own. Ye Hu was a little sad.
From afar, Khan saw the crowd waiting in the snow, and before the car could stop, he jumped out of the car.
Ye Hu hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said, "Father Khan has worked hard. ”
Khan laughed: "I said I wanted to ride a horse, but they refused to let me, and they had to let them go." It was so stuffy in the carriage. ”
The khan looked at Princess Ning Guo intently and said, "I haven't seen her for many days, but the queen is radiant and more beautiful." ”
Princess Ningguo stepped forward, bent down slightly, and said, "The Khan made fun of his concubines. The concubines just didn't suffer from the wind and frost, and they worked less. ”
Qingmei got out of the car and said, "See the queen." ”
Princess Ning Guo continued with a smile and said, "Sister Qingmei, it is hard to serve the Khan in place of the palace. ”
Qingmei is no longer dressed up in the old fashion at this time, she is lightly swept with moth eyebrows, flowers are blooming, and she is a noble lady with orderly manners, where is there still a hint of a girl.
Princess Ningguo was disdainful in her heart, this trip to the rich city made this girl favored, she really relied on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and when she dressed up, she looked like a dog.
In the eyes of the Khan, the green plum at this time, compared with the bright and radiant princess of Ningguo, is as plain as a dog's tail grass. Khan patted the snowflakes on Princess Ningguo's body with his hand and said, "The snow is getting heavier and heavier, let's go back to the palace and talk." ”
Princess Ningguo said softly: "The concubine has prepared a banquet to wash the dust for the khan. ”
Khan held the hand of Princess Ningguo with one hand and Prince Ye Hu with the other, and said with a smile: "Okay, our family hasn't eaten together for a long time, so let's have a drink today." Ladies and gentlemen, go back to the palace with Ben Khan. ”
The crowd gathered around the Khan, and hurried to catch up,
Qingmei looked at the lonely snow in a blink of an eye, and her heart was at a loss.
It is said that the love of kings is as short as a meteor, and it seems that since the moment he got off the car, the glory of his meteor has passed.
After the splendor, maybe it will be forever lonely.
After the meteor burns, it can fall silently, but as a living woman, it is difficult to endure the cold after thousands of favors.
Qingmei finally understood why, Princess Ningguo rejected herself like that at the beginning. No woman can endure that a man who once belonged to her would walk away with another woman in her arms.
Maybe I was wrong, this man didn't belong to him in the first place.
Gu Li stepped forward and said softly, "Sister Qingmei, let's go back." No one cares about our concubines. ”
Concubine? I'm not even a concubine yet. Ome thought.

On the main hall, the wine feast is listed, and the monarchs and ministers rejoice.
Ye Hu picked up a glass of wine and said: "The return of my father Khan's sacrifice coincides with the heavy snow and auspiciousness, which indicates that I will return to the country for a bumper harvest in the coming year, the country and the people will be safe, and the children will ask for all the people, may my father Khan be healthy and have a long and prosperous life." ”
The Khan was overjoyed and said, "What a filial child." "Raise a glass and drink it all.
Princess Ning Guo asked, "Didn't you say that you would come back in ten days and a half months?" How did you get around for so long? A month to come back. ”
The Khan said: "When I got there, I thought I would be back soon, but it rained for several days and washed away the altar, so I had to rebuild it, so it was delayed for some time. ”
Khan turned his face and asked Ye Hu: "For many days, is there any news from your brother ahead?" I am very worried about my father. ”
Ye Hu said: "Father Khan, rest assured, everything is fine in the war ahead, and the children have also distributed grain, grass and armaments on time, and made every effort to ensure military supplies." A few days ago, there was also a battle report, saying that we had already engaged the enemy once, and although our side had some casualties, it had retreated 100 miles from the enemy. ”
When Khan heard this, he relieved himself and smiled, "It seems that this kid in Dengli is not bad." ”
instructed Princess Ningguo: "Go back and reward some things and send them to Dengli Mansion, and the daughter-in-law is at home alone, so take care of it more." ”
Princess Ning Guo said, "Yes." The concubines have been taking care of it for a long time. ”
Ye Hu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
This Dengli's mother, who was originally Ye Hu's mother's maid, was favored by the Khan, and was lucky enough to give birth to Dengli, who was smart and wise since childhood, and was deeply loved by the Khan. For many years, Ye Hu's mother and son have been careful to guard against Dengli, for fear that Dengli will press on Ye Hu's head. When his mother was dying, Yin Yin still instructed Ye Hu: "Child, be careful of Dengli, this son is by no means a good type, you must not be surpassed by him, in case your father has the intention of replacing his concubine." ”
Ye Hu always remembered his mother's words, so every praise his father gave to Dengli was a stab in Ye Hu's heart. It was also the presence of Dengli that made Ye Hu feel threatened at all times.
Only by ascending to the throne as soon as possible can Ye Hu be relieved.
After three rounds of drinking, Khan was a little tired and said, "Feel free, I'm going to rest, I've been tired all the way, and I'm not mentally exhausted." ”
Princess Ningguo helped the Khan to retreat and went directly back to the palace.
The khan receded, and the crowd was a little tasteless, and gradually dispersed.
Ye Hu drank a few glasses of wine, returned home sullenly, fell into bed, and fell asleep.
Seeing that her husband didn't take off his clothes, Crown Princess Anya went to bed directly with her shoes on, and hurriedly came over to take off his shoes and undress him.
Not surprisingly, Crown Princess Anya found traces of different shades of purple red on Ye Hu's neck.
The crown princess's hand gradually hesitated.
This is not the first time.
The crown princess took off her coat for Ye Hu and slowly lifted his underwear.
Ye Hu's chest, shoulders, and waist were full of such marks.
The crown princess knew that this was the trace left by the love of men and women, and this was the kiss mark of a woman.
And this kiss mark is not from the crown princess.
As a woman, the crown princess is sensitive, and since a long time ago, one day, she sensed that something was wrong with her husband.
Every day when I came back from the palace, my husband looked tired and sleepy, and in bed, he lost his enthusiasm as before.
At first, the crown princess thought that her husband was worried about political affairs, but one day, when she found this kind of thing in him, she suddenly realized that her husband had a woman.
As the crown prince of a country, it is really common to have a woman, although the crown princess is lost, but she does not care. Perhaps, it is a palace maid who has fallen in love, and it is fresh once in a while, and it may fade after a few days, so why hurt the relationship between husband and wife.
The crown princess quietly hid her sadness in her heart, more considerate and gentler than before, hoping to win back her husband's heart.
However, she thought wrongly, and her husband became even more violent, and even didn't return home at night, and used the excuse that he was too busy with state affairs and needed to stay in the palace. The crown princess was deeply disappointed.
In the past month, the husband seems to have forgotten her as a wife and forgotten this home, and often does not come back for days and nights, and occasionally comes back, but he is also depressed and does not answer what he asked. The crown princess knew that in her husband's heart, there was no place for herself.
She began to wonder and became angry, and she wondered what kind of woman could have bewitched her husband so fascinated and carried away.
But her husband is tight-lipped, no matter how she seduces, he will not leak a trace of his mouth.
She had no choice but to pretend not to know and continued to pretend to be deaf and dumb. I hope that one day my husband will be able to get lost and return to change his mind.
In fact, in her heart, there was a faint fear that made her dare not pursue it carefully, and she didn't dare to imagine that kind of fear. She didn't want to know the answer.
Today, the Khan has returned, and her husband has returned home, hoping that this nightmare affair will be over, and that everything will return to its former state.
Ye Hu turned over and shouted, "Little goblin." Call how I can not love you. ”
The crown princess was taken aback.
Ye Hu just said a dream word and continued to sleep.
The crown princess silently shed tears. Will the goblin in his heart be able to let him go home? Even if he returns home, his heart will still stay with the little goblin.
The little goblin, that must be a beautiful and bewitching woman.
Every woman likes to be called like this, but her husband has never called herself like that.
The crown princess lay silently beside her husband and reached out to hug her husband. It still seems to be intimate, but between them, there is an invisible little goblin.
Three
The green garden is still the same, but it is white everywhere, covered in silver, clean as a fairyland.
The people who live here are fairies. Qingmei thought, hurrying in her steps.
Pushing open the door, Shu'er continued happily, looked at her in surprise and said: "I haven't seen you for a month, but it seems to be a different person, and I don't dare to recognize the beauty." ”
Qingmei was a little embarrassed and said, "It's okay for others, Miss, you also make fun of me." ”
Shu'er smiled: "Where to make fun of it?" You're a beauty now. No wonder Khan likes you. ”
Qingmei said gloomily: "I like it for a while, no, as soon as I come back, when I see the queen, I won't pay attention to me." ”
Shu'er said: "Be careful, learn to be jealous." The queen naturally has to pay attention to it, where can she compete with the queen for favor. The khan hadn't seen the queen for a long time, shouldn't he accompany her? You have dominated the khan for a month, and you have not seen the queen eat your jealousy, and you will not be even. ”
Seeing this, Qingmei said with a smile: "Miss taught me a lesson." ”
Qingmei took out a cloth bag from her baggage, opened it layer by layer, and said, "This is the medicine I was looking for a famous doctor to dispense for you in Fugui City, I don't know if it works, so try it." ”
Shu'er smiled bitterly: "It's hard for you to work hard." It's just that I tried many medicines, but they didn't work, and I was tired. ”
Qingmei said: "I don't know which medicine will work." Maybe it's this time. ”
Shu'er took it and said, "Okay, try it at night." Don't live up to your kindness. ”
Qingmei sat down, looked around, and said, "It's still comfortable to be with Miss." I don't go anywhere, I just live with the young lady. ”
Shu'er smiled: "Silly girl, your identity is different now." I heard that the Khan is going to take you as a concubine, and we are all the same people. ”
Qingmei hurriedly said: "Qingmei will always be Miss's girl." Miss will always be the master of the green plum, and this will never change. ”
Shu'er said movingly: "I am not your master, I am your sister." ”
took a bowl of porridge and said, "Knowing that you are coming back today, I specially boiled your favorite red bean porridge, you drink it, warm your body." ”
Qingmei took it with emotion and drank it in a few gulps.
Suddenly, there was a wave of nausea, and Qingmei opened her mouth to vomit.
Shu'er panicked for a while and said, "What's wrong?" Isn't that your favorite drink? It's snowing outside, are you cold? ”
Qingmei didn't care about speaking, only felt a burst of retching, and finally vomited.
It's about pregnant. Ome thought.
