Chapter 168: Trade-offs

After the meal, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother went back to the house to drink medicine and take a nap, and Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng went back to Shutong Courtyard.

Jiang Ning was also clamoring to go, but was taken away by Jiang's mother.

The scorching sun was in the sky, and it was still very hot outside, but there was an ice in the middle of the house, which was cool and comfortable, and the two sat in the room to talk.

After sending a pot of tea, Yu consciously withdrew from the house.

Tan Yu and Chaiyun were talking under the corridor, and I don't know what to say, Tan Yu's face turned red.

It's okay to chase the wind, and when I saw Leng Xing standing under the tree in the corner of the courtyard to enjoy the shade, my eyes lit up and walked over.

Leng Xing leaned against the trunk of the tree and closed his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard the footsteps, he opened his eyes and saw that he was chasing the wind and frowned slightly.

Chafeng had already arrived under the tree, looked at Leng Xing carefully, and said: "Tsk, I didn't expect you to be so handsome except for the veil, but this dress is not very good, just like the Qingqi in the building." ”

Although Leng Xing changed from a dark guard to a bright guard, he was still dressed in tight black, with black hair tied up as a man's attire.

It was a sassy and cold dress, but when it fell into the wind, it was like a dog spitting out no ivory from its mouth.

Leng Xing casually plucked the leaves from the tree and used them as a hidden weapon to shoot towards the mouth of the chasing wind.

Chasing the wind was defenseless, and was hit by the leaves, and his lips immediately turned red and hurt.

"What do you do? Want to fight? Chasing the wind stared at Leng Xing in shock, and he was eager to try.

Leng Xing squinted at him, writing all his boredom on his face.

If it weren't for the fact that Chasing Wind's status was higher than her, and she was controlled by him and Chasing Cloud, she really wanted to beat him up.

Thinking of the words of chasing the wind, Leng Xing looked at him with strange eyes and said, "You often go to the building?" Do you know that the master has such a unique fetish? ”

Yu Zheng wants to know how far he will be thrown.

"What nonsense are you talking about, I'm a serious man, pure!" Chase the wind and pat your chest to prove.

Leng Xing didn't bother to pay attention, and one jumped into the tree.

But the wind is like a dog skin plaster, and it keeps up with the tree, and the noise is non-stop, which is more annoying than the cicadas on the tree.

Leng Xing really wants to beat him down!

The room was quiet, Yu Zheng took out a palm-sized brocade box from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Shu.

"What is this?" Jiang Shu took it and opened it curiously.

There is a white jade comb lying in the brocade box, and the edge is inlaid with gold entwined flowers, which is very delicate and beautiful. Jiang Shu took it in his hand and looked at it over and over again, and couldn't put it down.

Yu Zheng said: "This is a golden jade comb, and I will use it to comb my hair in the future." ”

Yu Zheng said, took the jade comb from Jiang Shu's hand, got up and walked behind Jiang Shu, and gently combed her satin hair.

This gentleness like flowing water made Jiang Shu's heart tremble and he was overjoyed.

This is Yu Zheng's third gift to her, what should she give in return?

Jiang Shu racked his brains, and he couldn't think of Yu Zheng leaving.

It's night, East Palace.

The full moon hangs high, and the clear light shines on the ground.

After Yu Cheng finished handling government affairs, he habitually went to the side concubine's courtyard.

The side concubine is Xie Wanruo, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who agrees with Yu Chengqing, and is willing to enter the palace as a side concubine for Yu Cheng.

When Yu Cheng entered the house, Xie Wanruo had just finished bathing, her hair was half dry, and she took a book to tell her three-year-old son a story to sleep.

"Your Highness." The maid in the house saluted and greeted him.

Xie Wanruo looked sideways when she heard the voice, and showed a gentle smile when she saw Yu Cheng, which seemed to be as comfortable as a romantic cloud.

"Father." The child on the soft couch got up and got out of the bed, and pounced on Yu Cheng without wearing shoes.

Yu Cheng bent down to pick him up, walked to the edge of the couch and sat down, and the family of three chuckled and spoke.

"I want to hear my father's story."

The soft and glutinous children's voice floated into Yu Cheng's ears, only to feel extremely pleasant, and the tiredness and boredom of the day were swept away.

"Okay, my father will tell you." Yu took the book in Xie Wanruo's hand and spoke slowly.

Xie Wanruo knew that Yu Cheng had been busy for a day, and his shoulders and arms were sore, and his ten fingers were rubbed and relaxed by Yu Cheng.

The family gets along happily, and the house is full of warmth.

The palace maid picked up the bead curtain and came in, and couldn't bear to break it: "Your Highness, the crown princess sent someone to ask when His Highness will come over to settle down." ”

Yu Cheng was stunned when he heard this, and his brows immediately furrowed: "It's fifteen today?" ”

Xie Wanruo nodded: "Yes, Your Highness should go over earlier." ”

Yu Cheng didn't like to stay in the princess's courtyard, but the fifteenth day of the first month was a rule, and he had to go.

Glancing at the child on the couch, Yu Cheng pursed his lips and said, "Tell the crown princess that the palace will go over to sleep." ”

"Yes." The palace maid stepped down and went to tell the princess's palace maid.

Yu continued to tell the story of Fang Cai, and after a quarter of an hour, the child on the couch slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Xie Wanruo called softly, and the palace maid in the outer room came in lightly, and carried Yu Haolin away with a gentle movement.

Yu Cheng put down the book, leaned back slightly and leaned his head into Xie Wanruo's arms, and let her press his head on him.

After touching the tea time, Yu Cheng opened his eyes and sat down, stretched out his hand to pull Xie Wanruo into his arms and sit on his lap.

"Your Highness." Xie Wanruo called coquettishly, and her lotus arm lightly hooked Yu Cheng's neck.

Yu Cheng hugged her, smelled the fragrance on her body, and didn't want to leave at all.

Looking at the moist red lips in front of him, Yu Cheng rolled in his throat and leaned over to kiss him.

The two had a deep affection, and after a kiss, they were moved.

But tonight, Yu Cheng was going to the courtyard of the crown princess, Xie Wanruo suppressed the heat in her heart, and said sensibly: "Your Highness, go quickly, otherwise the crown princess will be in a hurry." ”

The crown princess Cao Muxue knows how to be knowledgeable, and every time she is unhappy, she will not directly mess with Yu Cheng, but will go to Yongning Palace to complain, and toss Xie Wanruo openly and secretly.

Cao Muxue is very measured, she won't go too far, everything is reasonable, people can't make mistakes, and she is helpless.

Yu Cheng didn't want Xie Wanruo and Yu Haolin to be wronged, but he didn't want to, so he could only get up and leave.

After sending Yu Cheng away, Xie Wanruo sat down in front of the dressing table and asked the palace maid to rub her hair oil.

The palace maid is Xie Wanruo's maidservant Yingrong, Xie Wanruo is very close to her and has nothing to talk about.

"Does the mother feel wronged?" Ying Rong felt a little sorry for her own young lady.

is obviously the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, with both talent and appearance, and Yu Cheng's identity is equivalent, she should be the concubine, but she was forced to be stabbed by Cao Muxue, and she can only succumb to the side.

Even on the fifteenth day of the first month of the month, he must be reluctant to persuade Yu Cheng to go to Cao Muxue's courtyard.

"How can I be wronged, Your Highness's heart is with me." Xie Wanruo smiled lightly at the mirror and didn't care.

"But the crown princess relies on the support of the queen and often provokes and tosses her mother, which is really excessive." Ying Rong was indignant.

Xie Wanruo smiled: "Do you think Concubine Yu can be wronged?" ”

Ying Rong was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Concubine Yu is the only one who is favored by the saint, how can she be wronged." ”

Xie Wanruo said: "Then what do you think is the difference between me and Concubine Yu?" ”

Ying Rong was stunned.

Xie Wanruo continued: "His Royal Highness is now fledgling and will inevitably be constrained by others, but he will ascend the throne one day, and the queen will eventually grow old......"

At that time, Cao Muxue will be able to stay in the back position, but she will just be like the current queen, with an empty name.

Xie Wanruo has already thought through these years, women regard their husbands as the sky, their names are just empty appearances, and the husband's favor is the essence.

is like Concubine Yu, she has everything except for not getting the queen's position.

Things must be opposed, and people can't be too greedy.
