All the Gold and Jade: Princess Consort

Chapter 13: The son-in-law with his own halo 【Do they still sleep in separate rooms now?】

Xu Heng has never studied such elegant things as bonsai flower arrangement, but the bonsai sent by Yongyan is extraordinarily unique. She couldn't think of any adjectives to praise it for a while, but she just thought it was beautiful.

Winter-weary flowers are not the flowers of great wealth and wealth, so this pot of bonsai did not deliberately look like a cluster of flowers, but sparse but well-organized. When Xu Heng approached and took a closer look, he saw that even the utensils for flower arrangement were A simple square blue and white porcelain, did not use the jade that the princess mansion always used.

The blue-and-white porcelain is surrounded by a layer of bamboo slices, which are wrapped with gold wires, and the layers are gradually increased, finally forming a trend of high mountains and flowing water. A few random strokes on the blue-and-white porcelain have already outlined a waterfall. As the valley poured down, Xu Heng seemed to be able to hear the sound of gurgling water, and the magnificent artistic conception of the world stayed on this small potted plant.

It was only then that Xu Heng noticed the plate of delicate snacks on the table. She casually put a glutinous rice dumpling in her mouth. It was soft and delicious, and the bean paste stuffing wrapped inside was only mixed with honey, which was sweet but not greasy. Xu Heng ate several of them in a row, and didn't stop until he burped.

Because Xu Heng had eaten too much, he felt that the room was a bit stuffy, so he turned his head and told the maid Lan Hao who was accompanying him: "Go and open the window, don't open it too much, or the heat will all escape."

"Good son-in-law."

Lan Hao responded casually, and hurried to the window, opened the small wooden vertical gate under the window, and stretched out his hand to push half of the window open. As soon as the window was opened, a gust of cold wind rushed in, and Xu Heng was blown suddenly. a shiver.

As soon as the wind came in, the fragrance of winter-weary flowers began to spread, and there were only six or seven flowers. The original fragrance was not strong, but Xu Heng has always been sensitive to smells, and he still felt that the room was full of fragrance.

Xu Heng stared at the undelicate small potted plant in front of him and thought for a while, but he couldn't figure out where to put this object, so he wandered around the room with this potted flower for a long time, but couldn't find a place to put it. Son.

"Tell me," Xu Heng raised his finger and pointed at the girl Lan Hao, and asked, "Where should I put this pot that is tired of winter? The princess gave me a bonsai even though she knew I couldn't do elegant things. It's not to embarrass me." Well, since everything has been delivered, I can’t feed them to death, can I? Besides, look at how well they grow, as if they are alive, no, no, they are already alive, bright red What a wonderful life."

Lan Hao: "...." So, do you like it or not, my son-in-law?

Xu Heng didn't notice the twitching expression at the corner of Lan Hao's mouth at all, and still said to himself: "This flower originally grew well, you said if I put it in the wrong place, or if I accidentally give it to you It was broken, or it was watered too much and it was waterlogged to death, or... oh, anyway...!"

Lan Hao smiled: "...Well, what do you think, my son-in-law?"

"In short!" Various possibilities quickly appeared in Xu Heng's mind, and he stomped his feet subconsciously, as if he had just rescued a delicate little girl from a human trafficker: "To choose a suitable place, call 12 Take care of it with great energy, it is best to find a place where the princess can see it at a glance!"

Lan Hao: "...." So is it more important to grow flowers or to show the princess?

"Lan Hao!" Seeing that Lan Hao never responded, Xu Heng raised his voice and shouted: "Are you listening to me?"

"Yes, my son-in-law." Lan Hao couldn't stand her master's thoughts, so she could only suggest with a smile: "My son-in-law, this flower is not like peony, lily or other delicate flowers. , Winter-weary flowers are tenacious and will not die easily, if you want to ask your servants for their opinions, it is best not to raise them expensively, but to raise them cheaply."

"Low raising?" Xu Heng's eyes widened, and he humbly asked for advice: "Then how should I raise it cheaply?".

"It's cheap to raise. Just put it by the window or in front of the door. It will be exposed to the wind and sun, and the rain will nourish it. Don't deliberately change anything. It will naturally live for a long time." Large tracts of winter-hating flowers, no one has ever taken care of them, grow more vigorously than weeds.

"So that's how it is! I understand, thank you, Lan Hao." Xu Heng thanked him sincerely, narrowing his eyes: "I will definitely take care of it, it's just a potted flower."

Lan Hao suddenly felt that her master's smile was so good-looking. She smiled purely like a Bodhisattva who does not disturb the dust, with a high nose bridge and handsome features.

At this time, Xu Heng seemed to have a halo on his body in Lan Hao's eyes. Xu Heng's eyebrows and eyes were crooked like the young scholar who came out of the "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" that Lan had read countless times. Kind-hearted, he randomly picked up an injured big white fox on the road and took it home to take care of him. Then the fox turned into a beautiful woman to marry him, a silly and handsome scholar who gave birth to a litter of little foxes.

However, Lan Hao still thought sadly that the son-in-law might not be able to give birth to a little fox. After all, he has been married to the princess for so long, and he has never seen any movement in the princess's stomach...

Lan Hao can't remember how many times she helped Xu Heng's sloppy eyes in front of Mrs. Zhao, that is, Xu Heng's grandmother. Every time Mrs. Zhao asked her, she always said: "Old lady, please be safe and don't be impatient. , the son-in-law is determined and strong, and everything will be fine."

Mrs. Zhao always sees through everything at a glance, and asks tremblingly: "Are the young couple still sleeping in separate rooms?"

"... Hehe, occasionally... we can't be together every day." Lan Hao always felt that he would go to hell eighteen times for lying to the old man many times.

But the princess and the son-in-law live in separate rooms, so what can she say as a servant?Could it be that he ran up to the two of them and said, "Why don't the two masters consider sharing the same bed for one night?"

Do you want to kill yourself!

This son-in-law has a good temper, so it's easy to talk about anything, but the princess's cold face and her daily demeanor with clear rewards and punishments made her feel guilty when she thought about it, and she was afraid that ten heads would not be enough to chop off!

However, since he took Zhao's money, if he keeps helping Xu Heng get away with it, it seems that he won't be able to make it through...

what should I do?Lan Hao had a problem, so why not go to the dark alley of Yong'an Lane to buy a pair of aphrodisiacs?

...! !It's really scary! !

Xu Heng was only focused on putting the potted plants on the wooden support in front of the window, and didn't notice the tangled look on Lan Hao's face at all. After the potted plants were put away, she was afraid of being blown down by the wind, so she hurriedly sent someone to find two yuan. I was relieved when the tile came back and fixed it.

When it was noon, Yongyan sent someone to call her to eat in the main hall. In the past, Xu Heng's meals were delivered by the west kitchen, while Yongyan and Ah Nuo's meals were prepared by the cooks in the east kitchen. Xi and Xi had no intersection at all, and Yongyan often went to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother, so the number of times they had meals together was very seldom.

And the reason why Yongyan asked her to eat together today, Xu Heng thought, was probably because he was going to the palace to have a banquet tonight, so Yongyan had to tell her some rules as a routine.
