Those years when I was Princess Yan
Chapter 25 Raising Goose
"Then I'll go and see alone, you wait here for me."
Xu Qingqing pulled out the veil from her sleeves to cover her face, and strode straight to the Tongfu Inn.
"Guest officer staying in the store?" The shopkeeper immediately came forward with a smile.
"Open an upper room." Xu Qingqing said bluntly.
"Three hundred Wen a night." The shopkeeper smiled and raised three fingers.
Xu Qingqing went to touch her purse, only then did she realize that she left the mansion in a hurry and didn't bring any money with her.
"Miss, are you kidding around?" The shopkeeper looked at Xu Qingqing suspiciously, thinking that she might be someone sent by his wife's proprietress to find trouble.
Just as Xu Qingqing was about to explain, a piece of Daming Treasure banknote floated on the counter.
The shopkeeper immediately smiled when he saw Qian, and looked at the visitor with bright eyes. He is really a handsome and extraordinary gentleman.
"My lord, can I open a room for you?"
Zhu Di ignored the shopkeeper, but looked sideways at Xu Qingqing, but his complexion couldn't be darker.
The shopkeeper immediately understood that these two were together, and he quickly apologized to Xu Qingqing, "You are vulgar and impatient, and you don't know Taishan with your eyes, please don't take it wrong, girl."
The shopkeeper quickly led the two of them to room No. [-], Tianzi.
"Shopkeeper, is there a girl about my age living in your store, with narrow shoulders and thin waist, slender figure, and a very pretty appearance. She should have just worn a light green dress recently." Xu Qingqing wondered The shopkeeper was skeptical and refused to speak out, so he told the shopkeeper that the person was her good sister, and they got separated on the way to Beijing together.
The shopkeeper thought about it carefully, "You seem to be talking about Miss Liu, who stayed here four days ago, but she left this morning. It's a pity that I happened to miss it with the girl."
"Then she said, where will she go?" Xu Qingqing asked again.
The shopkeeper shook his head.
After Zhu Di heard the conversation between the two, he understood that Xu Qingqing came here to investigate Liu Lingxiu, and his expression finally eased.
Xu Qingqing heard from the shopkeeper that Liu Lingxiu used to live in Tianzi No. [-] room, so she wanted that room too.
"But the room hasn't been tidied up yet."
"My sisters, don't dislike them." After Xu Qingqing finished speaking, she turned her head and said to Zhu Di with a smile, "Right, fourth brother?"
Fourth brother?
Zhu Di couldn't help but sneered, she still knows how to play tricks after all.Which girl would only share a room with her fourth brother...
"It turns out that this young man is the girl's fourth brother. The girl's fourth brother is really handsome. I wonder if he is married?" The shopkeeper asked Xu Qingqing in a low voice while leading the way.
"He, he's already married."
After hearing the words, Zhu Di's expression was as usual.
Indeed married.
"...and eighteen concubines, one of whom is prettier than the other, and they are very noisy." Xu Qingqing told the shopkeeper in a low voice.
A normal person in Zhu Di's position really couldn't hear Xu Qingqing's words clearly.But Zhu Di is a martial arts practitioner, his kung fu is very good, and his ears are extremely keen, so Xu Qingqing's words naturally fell into his ears verbatim.
The shopkeeper was amazed, he clicked his tongue twice secretly, and couldn't help turning his head to look at the handsome young man again.Sure enough, he is a young man with a strong body and can withstand tossing. Back then, he was as energetic as a cow, but now... I hope this handsome young man's kidneys can always be as good as this.
The shopkeeper suddenly lost all wrong thoughts, and left in a hurry after opening the door.
Xu Qingqing looked around the room. The quilt on the couch was in a mess and hadn't been folded in time. The handkerchief was thrown in the sink. There were half-eaten snacks on the table, and a small amount of snack residue on the ground near the door.
It can be seen that people left in a hurry this morning.
Xu Qingqing rummaged through the closet, quilt and pillow, and found a little straw doll under the pillow. This doll was wearing a blue Taoist robe, and its chest was pierced by three needles.Xu Qingqing flipped over to the back of the doll and pulled out a white cloth from the back of the doll, on which was written "February 22, [-] years to Zhengzheng".
Zhu Di had been standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back and waiting quietly. At this moment, he came over and took the cloth strip from Xu Qingqing.
"It's not your birthday."
"But she thought it was my birthday."
Since she is Xu Da's daughter, her birthday should not be the twelfth day of February when Master picked her up, but the ninth day of February.
Xu Qingqing thought of Liu Lingxiu's strong hatred for her in the court last time, and now it seems that she has put that hatred into practice.Even when she went to Beijing to stay in an inn, she never forgot to bring the voodoo doll that cursed her with her.Obviously Liu Lingxiu hated her to the bone, and hoped that she would die early.But using this superstitious way to count people, the heroine is really weak.
"My lord, someone is going to kill your concubine! I'm so scared!" Xu Qingqing tugged on Zhu Di's sleeve, blinking her clear eyes, looking up at Zhu Di eagerly, "Your lord, you must protect her!"
"It's good to talk." Zhu Di frowned, and the expression of impatience on his face became stronger.
"My lord, if I die, there will be no one to treat your illness, so my lord must protect me—" Xu Qingqing failed to 'act like a baby', so she started playing 'threat'.
Zhu Di felt that Xu Qingqing's temperament was really a bit like Xu Da's, even though this guy had never been raised by Xu Da himself.Xu Da on the battlefield is not tired of deceit, able to stretch and bend, and unscrupulous, shameless and shameless, exactly the same as Xu Qingqing now.
Xu Qingqing always felt that it was a little strange for Zhu Di to look at her eyes, and her eyes shifted, and suddenly found a note between the high table by the window and the wall, which seemed to be caused by the wind blowing in.
Xu Qingqing took out a note, which was only as wide as a thumb and as long as a thumb, with only two words written on it: Quickly return.
Xu Qingqing put the note on the table and found traces of natural curls.After she rolled up the note, she found that the size and length of the note looked like a message delivered by a carrier pigeon.
Now it can be confirmed that the person Xu Qingqing saw that day was none other than Liu Lingxiu.
Zhu Di asked Xu Qingqing: "Does she have tattoos on her face?"
"Of course not. If there was, she would have been pointed at on the street." Xu Qingqing pondered, "Either she used some method to remove it, or she disguised it to cover it up."
In view of the good luck of the heroine, Xu Qingqing believes that the former possibility is more likely.
"In Fengyang City, there is a strange person who can remove tattoos." Zhu Di said.
Xu Qingqing immediately asked Zhu Di, "Who?"
"We'll talk about it when we get back to Fengyang." After Zhu Di finished speaking, he let Xu Qingqing go shopping by himself, but he had to go back home before dinner, so he turned around and left.
Xu Qingqing stared at Zhu Di's back and hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"
"See if the eighteen concubines at home are safe."
Xu Qingqing: "..."
This living king of Hades will not succeed if he grows up!
Qiu Fu was left to accompany Xu Qingqing.
Xu Qingqing continued to investigate in peace of mind, and asked the waiter in the shop to inquire about the details of Liu Lingxiu's stay.According to one of the store waiters, Liu Lingxiu once asked him how to get to the Datong blacksmith shop.
Xu Qingqing found blacksmith Wang from this Datong blacksmith shop.
As soon as Blacksmith Wang heard Xu Qingqing's description, he immediately said impatiently: "I haven't seen it before, get out, don't delay my work!"
Xu Qingqing was not annoyed, and repeatedly emphasized that she came to find her sister and asked Blacksmith Wang for help, and even wanted to thank him with money.
"I told you I don't know the person you mentioned, how can I help you, don't waste your time here!" Blacksmith Wang didn't buy it at all, and sent Xu Qingqing to get out of here again.
Xu Qingqing looked around the blacksmith's shop. It was located in a remote place. The furnace for making iron was huge. There was a big haystack at the back of the house, which was so high that it was almost level with the eaves.
Xu Qingqing also saw a few swords beside the stove, which seemed to have just been refined.
Seeing that Xu Qingqing still didn't leave, Blacksmith Wang glanced around blindly, picked up the big hammer and raised it high, while staring at Xu Qingqing, he slammed the red-hot iron in his hand, the threat was obvious.
At this moment, Qiu Fu couldn't bear it any longer, and wanted to step forward to teach Blacksmith Wang a lesson.Xu Qingqing hurriedly waved her hands, took Qiu Fu with her, and retreated immediately.
There must be something wrong with this Datong iron shop. When she first asked about Liu Lingxiu, she only mentioned one of Liu Lingxiu's characteristics, and Blacksmith Wang immediately rejected it without even thinking about it.Apparently he hadn't seen it, or he had seen it and deliberately concealed his denial.
Even though she explained that she was Liu Lingxiu's good sister, Tiejiang Wang still refused to reveal.It can be seen that what Liu Lingxiu asked him to do cannot be announced, so Wang Tiejiang seemed to have been poked at some pain point, and tried his best to drive people away, for fear of being found out.
Xu Qingqing asked Qiu Fu to help keep an eye on the Datong Iron Shop.
"My concubine, you are being polite. You must never dare to use the word 'help'. You are the master of the palace. If you need anything, just ask, and your subordinates will definitely do it."
After Qiu Fu returned to the mansion, he sent the account book and roster of the mansion.Because the prince has not yet entered the feudal domain, the temporary residence, everything and personnel arrangement are very simple.
Xu Qingqing can be regarded as seeing how thick Qiu Fu's so-called "simple" is. The densely packed words on the booklet are annoying to read. Of course, she was already upset because of her pervert.She persevered through a few pages of the roster, after all, the family she brought with her was limited, and she had to choose from the palace if she wanted to find useful people for future affairs.
It was getting dark, Xu Qingqing looked out of the window, pretending to look at the stars and the moon, but in fact her eyes kept sneaking at the gate of the courtyard.Waiting for the night to get darker and darker, but King Yan still didn't come.
Normally, she doesn't care if King Yan comes or not, but now she can't control it, she misses beauty so much.
She has not seen King Yan for one afternoon and half night, a total of six hours and three quarters, the time is as long as a century.Miss him, miss him, still miss him.
"Where's the prince?" Xu Qingqing finally couldn't hold back, and asked Biluo.
When Biluo heard that the girl was interested in the prince, she was very happy. She was really afraid that the girl would lose her temper and dislike King Yan like she did before the wedding.Excited, she immediately went to inquire, and didn't dare to take a breath, so she hurried back to report to Xu Qingqing.
"The lord is in the study room, and ordinary servants are not allowed to approach that place, and the guards are heavily guarded. The slaves have asked several people, but they can't find out what the lord is doing in there."
"You can't inquire about this kind of thing in the future." Xu Qingqing was not afraid of anything else, but she was afraid that Biluo would touch the taboo of the living Hades without restraint.If she was turned into a hedgehog by King Yan's men in the future, she would not have time to save her.
"Slaves save it."
"Is the light in the study still on?" Seeing Biluo nodding, Xu Qingqing immediately got up and went straight to the kitchen.
Most of the people in the kitchen are resting now, only the two women are packing up their things. When they suddenly saw the new concubine coming, they were all shocked, and hurriedly knelt down to pay respects.
Xu Qingqing asked them to get up and asked them for rice, millet, peanuts, wolfberries, tenderloin and coriander.
Of course, before using small coriander, I asked the old lady if it was edible, after all, some people don't like it.
"When the servant sees the cook cooking for the prince, he occasionally sprinkles some coriander, which should be edible." The woman replied honestly.
Xu Qingqing asked Biluo to grind the rice and peanuts, then set up a casserole to boil water, sprinkle the broken rice into the boiling water, add wolfberry, a small amount of lean meat that had been boiled for a while, add salt and add A little coriander.
The reason why broken rice is used is because it cooks quickly.It was late at night, King Yan didn't wait for anyone, if he suddenly rested, Xu Qingqing would have no way to find an excuse to appreciate his beauty.
Xu Qingqing took a sip of the porridge and thought it tasted okay, at least it was cooked and not salty, anyway King Yan might not know how to eat it.
Xu Qingqing quickly put the porridge into a bowl, put it in a food box, and Biluo carried it to Zhu Di's study in a hurry.
The two women in the kitchen couldn't help laughing happily when they saw the new princess cooking and delivering porridge to the prince late at night.
The new concubine is so virtuous, Prince Yan is so lucky, the young couple are so sweet and envious of others!As long as the prince and concubine are in harmony, the whole family will definitely take advantage of it.
Xu Qingqing walked to the door of the study, but was stopped by the guards unexpectedly.
"I won't go in, you just help me to give the porridge to the prince. It's late at night, let the prince drink something to warm his stomach."
After Xu Qingqing finished speaking with a dignified and virtuous face, she reluctantly looked in the direction of the study, and then turned around and walked back slowly.
She deliberately controlled the volume just now, neither high nor low, nor artificial.He spoke completely according to Zhu Di's hearing ability during the day. Zhu Di should be able to hear clearly in the room, so why didn't he come out?
Xu Qingqing was not stopped after all, it seems that King Yan was not moved at all after seeing the porridge she made.Thinking about it, he is a pampered prince, what he wants to eat is immediately prepared and delivered to his mouth, a bowl of porridge is nothing.
Xu Qingqing walked back dejectedly, intending to force herself to sleep to get over the trouble.However, she couldn't fall asleep at all, and the face of King Yan floated in her mind over and over again.I have been in contact with him a lot recently, and it seems that I have formed a habit. Whenever I think of male sex, it is equivalent to his face, and I don't even think about the little carpenter.
Xu Qingqing got up again, put on some clothes and prepared to go to the back garden to blow the night breeze and calm down.
A team of guards was patrolling by not far away, and Xu Qingqing found that the man carrying the lantern in front was very young, only about twenty, with a long face, and his facial features were not too outstanding alone, but together they had a kind of saying no. The clear taste is more attractive the more you look at it.
Xu Qingqing thought that if she just took a look from a distance, there should be no problem.She took Biluo and followed the guards not far or near.
There is a lotus pond in the garden, and not far from the other side of the pond is a place called Zhenbao Pavilion, which belongs to the boundary of the front yard, and people in the backyard are not allowed to set foot in it.After the team of guards crossed the arch bridge, they changed shifts with the guards who were originally guarding the Zhenbao Pavilion.
I don't know how many treasures there are in this Treasure Pavilion, and so many guards are required to guard them day and night.
God will help her, the long-faced little Qingjun happened to be standing under the lantern at the main entrance of Zhenbao Pavilion, although the distance was a little far away, fortunately the light was good, so he could still see him clearly.
The night wind was blowing slowly, and the coolness swept over the willow branches, silently attacking the bare skin.
Xu Qingqing shrank her neck, pulled up her collar, and still stared intently at the other side of the pond.
Suddenly a warmth enveloped her neck, and the wind seemed to stop.
Xu Qingqing looked in surprise at the cloak that suddenly wrapped around her neck, the black gold embroidered auspicious cloud pattern, and a faint sweet woody fragrance, all of which clearly showed who its owner was.
Xu Qingqing was so frightened that she turned around and saw that it was really Zhu Di, she immediately stood up and asked with a guilty smile, "Why is the prince here?"
If King Yan knew, she actually secretly peeped at his bodyguard behind his back in the middle of the night...
"What are you doing here?" Zhu Di stared at Xu Qingqing darkly, as if his eyes were stained with ink.
Xu Qingqing was afraid that King Yan would find out that she was looking at the little guard, so she pretended to move her body inadvertently, so that Zhu Di's eyes would stay away from the direction of Zhenbao Pavilion.
"I can't sleep alone, so I come out for a walk when I have nothing to do."
After Xu Qingqing finished explaining, she realized that Zhu Di wanted to look elsewhere, so she immediately grabbed his arm.
Zhu Di withdrew his gaze and landed on Xu Qingqing again.
"Are you done?"
"Ah."
"Being a prince is really tiring, to be so busy until late, hehe..."
Xu Qingqing didn't know what to talk to the Living Hades, so she laughed dryly.
"This, thank you!"
Xu Qingqing tugged at the cloak on her body, thanked Zhu Di happily, she didn't expect that the king of Hades cared about others, it was very good.
"Doctors should respect themselves, otherwise there is no talk of helping the world and saving people."
Xu Qingqing: "..."
She knew that Huo Hades was not that kind. It turned out that she was afraid that she would not be able to take care of herself, and would freeze to death, so that no one would treat his schizophrenia.
What a ruthless, indifferent, living Hades man with no human feelings at all!
"go back."
Zhu Di looked at Xu Qingqing's thin clothes with distaste, turned around and left first.
Xu Qingqing followed immediately, and couldn't help but peek at Zhu Di's face as he walked. Sure enough, this face was more beautiful, and it would be more perfect if he could smile.
Xu Qingqing followed Zhu Di all the way back to the room, and Zhu Di turned his head and gave Xu Qingqing a cold look.
"Haven't seen enough yet?"
Xu Qingqing also knew that it was inappropriate for her to look at people this way, so she flattered her very apologetically, "I'm wondering about one thing."
"What's the matter?" Zhu Di sat down and took a sip of tea.
"The prince is so handsome and elegant, as bright as a jade tree, he must not be a man in the dust."
If you take a picture like this, the Living Hades should be happy, right?
Zhu Di's hand holding the tea paused, and his throat moved slightly for a long time before he swallowed the tea in his mouth.
"It's time for the princess to learn etiquette."
Xu Qingqing was very surprised, why?These learning rules are even more exhausting than doing a hundred sets of "Five-Year College Entrance Examination and Three-Year Simulation".Besides, she has already learned the basic etiquette rules, so no matter how many rules she learns, she won't be able to stop her from committing a sexual disorder, so why waste time.
"Is it wrong to praise your husband?" Xu Qingqing retorted.
"The nominal husband." Zhu Di corrected.
"It's also a cooperative relationship. Complimenting each other is the proper etiquette. Besides, I always praise the prince, but I haven't seen him praise me. I don't mind. Why does the prince mind?"
It's really heartless for the Living Hades to despise her for not having the restraint of a woman.She got into this situation just to help his sister.
After Xu Qingqing finished speaking, she found that Zhu Di's eyes were getting colder and colder, and she thought that she might really be cold.This proud prince must be very angry when he encounters very few people who dare to refute him, especially women who refute him.
Sure enough, Xu Qingqing saw that Zhu Di was about to leave.
Xu Qingqing hesitated for a moment, but her legs were faster than her mind, and hurried to him.
"I was wrong, I owe you." Xu Qingqing stretched out her arms and blocked his way.After waiting for a while, I didn't hear the Living Hades speak, nor did I hear his leaving footsteps.Xu Qingqing quietly raised her head and peeked at him, facing a pair of indifferent eyes.
Xu Qingqing lowered her head again.
The top of the jet-black hair is clean, with well-defined roots and a natural luster. It is not like many aristocratic women who brush their hair with oil.The forehead is white and full, and the eyelashes are like fans. Because she blinks frequently, she is trembling at the moment.
Since he didn't leave immediately and didn't get angry, did he soften?Xu Qingqing secretly pondered the thoughts of this living Hades,
"Don't go, okay?" Xu Qingqing tried to mutter in a low voice, her voice was soft and waxy, like a well-behaved little white rabbit.
After a while, Zhu Difang said, "What are you doing here?"
"Uh--"
"I just got married, and the surroundings are unfamiliar and a bit scary. I will manage the inner courtyard of the palace in the future, and I don't know what the prince is taboo, so I want to talk to the prince, and talk about it by the way."
"At a time like this?"
Xu Qing saw that Zhu Di's expression became very subtle, and knew that it was late at night, and it seemed that the time was not right, so she hurriedly added an explanation: "Actually, it doesn't take long, can the prince just say a few words with me before leaving?"
Zhu Di stared at Xu Qingqing silently, without responding.
King Yan must have felt that she was talking nonsense and looking for trouble.It seems that the idea of chatting with him for a while is difficult to realize, it is better to take a second look now.Xu Qingqing, who had already decided to give up on herself, suddenly heard a chuckle from above her ear.
"A bowl of porridge for the princess is really precious."
Where did this come from?Xu Qingqing looked at Zhu Di in puzzlement, but saw that Zhu Di had already summoned a maid to wait for him to change clothes.
Xu Qingqing hurriedly turned around, pretending not to look, and waited for a while.She quietly turned her head to glance over, only to find that he was changing clothes behind a screen, so she couldn't see it at all, which made her think so much in vain.
After Zhu Di came out of the clean room, he had already finished bathing, his black hair was loose and still a little wet.It is said that a beauty is like Furong when she comes out of the bath, and this handsome man seems to be the same when he comes out of the bath. His skin is as white as jade, with a little bit of red. Get more and more eye-catching like a bright star, and your tolerance is impressive.
Seeing that the maid was going to serve Zhu Di to comb his hair, Xu Qingqing immediately rushed over to indicate that she was coming.Zhu Di glanced at Xu Qingqing, but didn't make a sound to stop her.
This is a good opportunity to appreciate the beauty at close range. Every time Xu Qingqing brushes her hair, she looks at Zhu Di's face through the bronze mirror.In this way, it took nearly a stick of incense to burn slowly, before Xu Qingqing combed enough, the wooden comb in her hand was snatched by Zhu Di.
But Xu Qingqing's wrist held by him has not been let go, Xu Qingqing was stunned, looking at King Yan who was getting closer to her body, suddenly felt that something was wrong with the development of the situation.
Xu Qingqing was about to speak out to make amends, and just about to utter a word, she was replaced by an exclamation of "ah", and she was hugged by Zhu Di.
Xu Qingqing wants to cry but has no tears, this development is wrong.She just wanted the Living Hades to simply chat with her. She didn't have any traditional Chinese medicine this time, so she could pass by simply admiring the beauty!
However, it was too late.
Once it's easy to have a second time...
After all, people have to pay for their own stupidity!Waking up early in the morning with a sore waist and leg pain, Xu Qingqing thought of it as if she had been run over by a carriage.
King Yan is going in the wrong direction. Didn't he promise to be a nominal husband and wife?On the wedding night, everyone took traditional Chinese medicine, and it was unavoidable.They were all sober last night...
Xu Qingqing suddenly trembled, remembering what he said last night, 'a bowl of porridge from the princess is really precious', could it be that King Yan thought that she deliberately gave him porridge to please him?Thinking about it, it was exasperating. Literally, it seemed to praise her that a bowl of porridge was expensive, but in reality, he was praising him for being valuable.
What about men and women, from the point of view of popular concepts, don't all women suffer, he is precious!
But then he thought about it, he is the majestic King Yan of the Ming Dynasty, and he actually thanked him with his body just because the woman gave him a bowl of porridge.What about his noble integrity as a prince?They were all eaten by dogs.
She actually still dislikes her lack of restraint, and should learn etiquette, Xu Qingqing thinks that he should be the one who should learn etiquette the most.Anyway, before having sex with a girl, you should politely ask if you have the same intentions, instead of suddenly picking up the girl and coming!
Xu Qingqing frowned while rubbing her waist, some of them thought about it a lot, in short, she was determined not to go to Yan Wang desperately because of lust.It would be safer for her to go and see that long-faced Qingjuan little guard.
I've been twice and I don't know if I'm pregnant or not.
Today is the third day after the big wedding, the day of returning home.
Xu Qingqing had written the prescription of Bizitang in advance, and when she arrived at Duke Wei's mansion, she sent Biluo to take the opportunity to grab the medicine.
When the prince and his wife came, Xu Da, Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Cai and other big family members all had to greet them solemnly, and all the servants in the mansion who had no rank or imperial order would kneel down and kowtow to see them according to the etiquette.
Not only the sisters in the family became respectful to Xu Qingqing, but even Mrs. Cai wanted to talk to Xu Qingqing respectfully, and she didn't dare to raise her eyelids casually when speaking.
After Xu Da invited King Yan to the front hall to talk to each other, the female relatives relaxed a little bit, but after Xu Qingqing repeatedly asked 'don't be polite', everyone dared to be more casual.
Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Cai hurriedly took Xu Qingqing's hand and asked how her situation was after marriage. Both of them had been there, and when they saw Xu Qingqing's eyebrows and eyes, there was a charm that the girl's family didn't have, and they knew that King Yan was not as rumored. Cold people.Let's see that when he returned home today, the gifts he brought were all extremely precious and thoughtful, but they were not the gift list randomly drawn up by the internal officials according to the regulations.
"Looking at King Yan's talent, I treat you very well." Mrs. Cai couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear. This marriage is afraid of enmity. It would be great if the eldest granddaughter could be loved by King Yan. Even if she is a concubine, if she loses her family A man's love will sooner or later dry up into a dry well.A loving husband and wife with deep affection is the best result.
Xu Qingqing smirked and agreed, "My lord really treats me very well, hehehe..."
He thought that whoever married would know, just trying to figure out his thoughts could drain a person's brain capacity and torture a person to death.
Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Cai were satisfied when they heard the answer, and they all came up with the housekeeping methods they knew to pass on to Xu Qingqing.Xu Qingqing took it seriously for a while, and only made a conclusion: It's all life experience, and it's a good way, enough to deal with ordinary men.It is useless to deal with King Yan.
So listening is tantamount to listening to it for nothing, it is better to drink tea.
On that side, Xu Da suddenly sent someone to summon Xu Qingqing, as if there was a big emergency.
As soon as Xu Qingqing entered the door, she found that the servants in the room had all withdrawn and closed the door.So, only she and Xu Da were left in the room.
"Father, what's the big deal?"
"Evil! What are you doing!" Xu Da slapped the prescription on the table.
Xu Qingqing glanced at it, it was the recipe of Bizitang she had given to Biluo before.
Seeing that Xu Qingqing didn't speak, Xu Da hurriedly walked up to her with his hands behind his back, "Even if you look down on King Yan, he is now your husband, and your status has been enshrined in the emperor's gold book, which cannot be changed in this lifetime. Yan Wang is honored, you are honored; Yan Wang is damaged, you are damaged, do you understand this truth?"
"My daughter understands."
"Then what's going on?" Xu Da pointed at the prescription.
Xu Qingqing suddenly rolled her eyes, trying to understand one thing, that was the problematic wedding wine on the wedding night.Her drug didn't work, which means that someone poured the wine and added aphrodisiacs and medicines to the newly changed wine. Even King Yan didn't know, so who could it be?And the prescription she gave to Biluo, why did it get into Xu Da's hands so easily?
"Why didn't you explain it?"
"The reason why I took this prescription was to see if my father would come to me."
Xu Da was puzzled and asked Xu Qingqing what he meant.
"Dad told Biluo to change the drugged Hejin wine, right?" Xu Qingqing asked.
Xu Da was stunned, and suddenly changed from a fierce wolf to a ungrateful little sheep, "Ahaha, I also prepared those medicines for my father, so I can help you."
"If you keep a dagger with you for self-defense, do you have to use the dagger to kill people? I don't have to use the medicines I prepared, nor are they aimed at King Yan. It depends on the specific situation. Dad doesn't distinguish between indiscriminate and casual medicines. The servant girls spy on me and betray me."
Xu Da hurriedly explained that he didn't mean that, he was only worried about Xu Qingqing's life after marriage.Xu Da repeatedly apologized to Xu Qingqing, saying that he really cared too much, and promised not to do so in the future.
"Then Biluo—" Xu Qingqing knew that Biluo's first loyal person so far was Xu Da. She didn't think there was any problem with this before, but now she finds that there is a big problem.
"Father, go and explain to her that she will only listen to you alone in the future. Even if father uses a knife to force her, she will not be allowed to listen to half a word of father."
"it is good."
"However, you have to agree to one condition for your father, and you will live a good life with King Yan in the future, but you are not allowed to make such a thing happen." Xu Da picked up the prescription on the table and tore it into pieces.
The next day, Xu Qingqing and Zhu Di were called into the palace again.
It turned out that the prince who was away on business came back and specially congratulated the two on their wedding and gave them gifts.
What makes Xu Qingqing feel a little weird is that brothers send congratulatory gifts and meet in private to get close casually.Now, in front of the empress especially formally, he said his congratulatory speech in a serious manner, and introduced the sources of several gifts he gave with a smile, which made Xu Qingqing feel that it was too ceremonial.
However, the emperor and empress liked this very much. They looked at their brothers and brothers with a smile, and admired the prince's simple and diligent performance.
Zhu Di didn't speak much, and even thanked him lightly, but this did not delay the prince's enthusiasm and kindness in the slightest.
In the end, the Crown Princess Chang gave Xu Qingqing the sandalwood beads she polished and stringed as an extra congratulatory gift.I wish her and King Yan a long life and be blessed by the Buddha.
"Thank you sister-in-law." Xu Qingqing also didn't say much, and after accepting the gift obediently, she thanked her and said nothing more.
"Fourth brother should return to Fengyang in a few days, right? It's only been a few days since we got married, so I've wronged my siblings." The princess sighed.
When Xu Qingqing heard that Zhu Di was going to leave, and she was the only one staying in the mansion, she almost couldn't hold back her laughter.She pretended to be sad, lowered her eyebrows and said pleasantly: "You should put the prince's business first, and if you are not wronged, you will not be wronged at all."
Empress Ma couldn't help feeling distressed when she saw this, and said to the emperor: "The eldest daughter-in-law is right. The fourth child is just newly married, so he should go to Fengyang as well. It just so happens that the second and third children have not met their siblings yet, why don't you let them go?" The fourth daughter-in-law will follow?"
"You princes are serious about practicing in Fengyang. How can my daughter-in-law follow her to make trouble? Besides, when my daughter-in-law was in Fengyang, she was lucky enough to meet the third brother once." Xu Qingqing immediately blocked Queen Ma's idea.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that Xu Qingqing had met King Jin, he asked him to talk about it.
Xu Qingqing told about meeting King Jin for dinner at Shengque Tower, "I didn't recognize him at the time, but I found out the identity of the third brother later."
When mentioning this matter, Xu Qingqing didn't want to go back to Fengyang ostentatiously, because she completely offended King Jin that day.Even if Fengyang wants to go back, he should go back quietly.
"I remember Shengquelou. It's an old shop. The sweet-scented osmanthus cake there is the best, but it's also the most expensive. It costs one or two silver a catty." Empress Ma mentioned the price and looked at the emperor with an unhappy expression.
The emperor naturally understood what Empress Ma meant, and agreed to go to Fengyang to practice and experience the hard work of their Zhu family ancestors in their ancestral land. As a result, the child actually went to a place like Shengquelou to eat and enjoy.How can this work!
The emperor immediately clapped the table and made a final decision, ordering Xu Qingqing to go to Fengyang with King Yan.
"Good boy, you grew up in Fengyang through hard work, and now you take their brothers to live in the Taoist temple, no matter whether you grow radishes, herd cattle or raise geese, in short, let them endure hardships and experience, and they must not live in extravagance. wind."
When Xu Qingqing heard this, she felt a huge thunderbolt "slap" loudly on her head.
Emperor, what does this mean?She actually wanted her to be a disciplinary committee member for the three arrogant princes!
"Your Majesty Father, how can a daughter-in-law have such ability, how can she casually lecture her brothers." Xu Qingqing looked at Zhu Di with a bitter face, asking him for help.This guy actually looked at the ground in front of him without squinting, as if he didn't feel her hint.
"'A sage has no permanent teacher, so disciples don't have to be inferior to teachers, and teachers don't have to be better than disciples'. Although you are a sister-in-law, you have learned the truth before them in terms of hard work and farming. They should take you as their teacher and learn from you .”
The emperor was very satisfied with his arrangement, and patted his thigh with a smile while talking, feeling that his decision was very wise.
Empress Ma, the prince, and the concubine consorted with each other and supported the emperor's decision very much.
Xu Qingqing had no choice but to accept his fate, and promised the emperor that he would seriously lead the three princes to raise geese, herd cattle, and grow radishes.
In order to show his determination, the emperor was also afraid that Xu Qingqing, a woman, would not be able to control the scene, so he sent a team of pro-army at Xu Qingqing's disposal.It's just that during this experience, only the deeds of the three princes can be recorded, and Xu Qingqing as a female family member will not be mentioned.
Xu Qingqing had to be mentioned, and she really didn't want to show the limelight of bringing three princes to raise geese.
After coming out of the palace, Xu Qingqing took off the prayer beads given by the princess and ordered Biluo to keep them away.
"Don't like it?" Zhu Di asked.
"This string of beads has been enshrined in front of the Buddha for a long time, and there are eminent monks chanting scriptures to bless them. It is also made by my sister-in-law. Naturally, it is full of new ideas and very precious. It must be preserved carefully."
Zhu Di looked at her speechlessly.
"I still prefer things that are really expensive." Xu Qingqing stopped pretending and simply told the truth, "Besides, my sister-in-law didn't know the truth before I married the prince, right? Why didn't you give me Buddhist beads?"
"Don't bother."
Zhu Di ordered Qiu Fu to bring a box of agate strings from the Zhenbao Pavilion to Xu Qingqing, and let her play with it at will.
Three days later.
Xu Qingqing bid farewell to Xu Da's family, and under the escort of a group of pro-military troops, she went to Fengyang with King Yan to raise geese.
Xu Qingqing pulled out the veil from her sleeves to cover her face, and strode straight to the Tongfu Inn.
"Guest officer staying in the store?" The shopkeeper immediately came forward with a smile.
"Open an upper room." Xu Qingqing said bluntly.
"Three hundred Wen a night." The shopkeeper smiled and raised three fingers.
Xu Qingqing went to touch her purse, only then did she realize that she left the mansion in a hurry and didn't bring any money with her.
"Miss, are you kidding around?" The shopkeeper looked at Xu Qingqing suspiciously, thinking that she might be someone sent by his wife's proprietress to find trouble.
Just as Xu Qingqing was about to explain, a piece of Daming Treasure banknote floated on the counter.
The shopkeeper immediately smiled when he saw Qian, and looked at the visitor with bright eyes. He is really a handsome and extraordinary gentleman.
"My lord, can I open a room for you?"
Zhu Di ignored the shopkeeper, but looked sideways at Xu Qingqing, but his complexion couldn't be darker.
The shopkeeper immediately understood that these two were together, and he quickly apologized to Xu Qingqing, "You are vulgar and impatient, and you don't know Taishan with your eyes, please don't take it wrong, girl."
The shopkeeper quickly led the two of them to room No. [-], Tianzi.
"Shopkeeper, is there a girl about my age living in your store, with narrow shoulders and thin waist, slender figure, and a very pretty appearance. She should have just worn a light green dress recently." Xu Qingqing wondered The shopkeeper was skeptical and refused to speak out, so he told the shopkeeper that the person was her good sister, and they got separated on the way to Beijing together.
The shopkeeper thought about it carefully, "You seem to be talking about Miss Liu, who stayed here four days ago, but she left this morning. It's a pity that I happened to miss it with the girl."
"Then she said, where will she go?" Xu Qingqing asked again.
The shopkeeper shook his head.
After Zhu Di heard the conversation between the two, he understood that Xu Qingqing came here to investigate Liu Lingxiu, and his expression finally eased.
Xu Qingqing heard from the shopkeeper that Liu Lingxiu used to live in Tianzi No. [-] room, so she wanted that room too.
"But the room hasn't been tidied up yet."
"My sisters, don't dislike them." After Xu Qingqing finished speaking, she turned her head and said to Zhu Di with a smile, "Right, fourth brother?"
Fourth brother?
Zhu Di couldn't help but sneered, she still knows how to play tricks after all.Which girl would only share a room with her fourth brother...
"It turns out that this young man is the girl's fourth brother. The girl's fourth brother is really handsome. I wonder if he is married?" The shopkeeper asked Xu Qingqing in a low voice while leading the way.
"He, he's already married."
After hearing the words, Zhu Di's expression was as usual.
Indeed married.
"...and eighteen concubines, one of whom is prettier than the other, and they are very noisy." Xu Qingqing told the shopkeeper in a low voice.
A normal person in Zhu Di's position really couldn't hear Xu Qingqing's words clearly.But Zhu Di is a martial arts practitioner, his kung fu is very good, and his ears are extremely keen, so Xu Qingqing's words naturally fell into his ears verbatim.
The shopkeeper was amazed, he clicked his tongue twice secretly, and couldn't help turning his head to look at the handsome young man again.Sure enough, he is a young man with a strong body and can withstand tossing. Back then, he was as energetic as a cow, but now... I hope this handsome young man's kidneys can always be as good as this.
The shopkeeper suddenly lost all wrong thoughts, and left in a hurry after opening the door.
Xu Qingqing looked around the room. The quilt on the couch was in a mess and hadn't been folded in time. The handkerchief was thrown in the sink. There were half-eaten snacks on the table, and a small amount of snack residue on the ground near the door.
It can be seen that people left in a hurry this morning.
Xu Qingqing rummaged through the closet, quilt and pillow, and found a little straw doll under the pillow. This doll was wearing a blue Taoist robe, and its chest was pierced by three needles.Xu Qingqing flipped over to the back of the doll and pulled out a white cloth from the back of the doll, on which was written "February 22, [-] years to Zhengzheng".
Zhu Di had been standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back and waiting quietly. At this moment, he came over and took the cloth strip from Xu Qingqing.
"It's not your birthday."
"But she thought it was my birthday."
Since she is Xu Da's daughter, her birthday should not be the twelfth day of February when Master picked her up, but the ninth day of February.
Xu Qingqing thought of Liu Lingxiu's strong hatred for her in the court last time, and now it seems that she has put that hatred into practice.Even when she went to Beijing to stay in an inn, she never forgot to bring the voodoo doll that cursed her with her.Obviously Liu Lingxiu hated her to the bone, and hoped that she would die early.But using this superstitious way to count people, the heroine is really weak.
"My lord, someone is going to kill your concubine! I'm so scared!" Xu Qingqing tugged on Zhu Di's sleeve, blinking her clear eyes, looking up at Zhu Di eagerly, "Your lord, you must protect her!"
"It's good to talk." Zhu Di frowned, and the expression of impatience on his face became stronger.
"My lord, if I die, there will be no one to treat your illness, so my lord must protect me—" Xu Qingqing failed to 'act like a baby', so she started playing 'threat'.
Zhu Di felt that Xu Qingqing's temperament was really a bit like Xu Da's, even though this guy had never been raised by Xu Da himself.Xu Da on the battlefield is not tired of deceit, able to stretch and bend, and unscrupulous, shameless and shameless, exactly the same as Xu Qingqing now.
Xu Qingqing always felt that it was a little strange for Zhu Di to look at her eyes, and her eyes shifted, and suddenly found a note between the high table by the window and the wall, which seemed to be caused by the wind blowing in.
Xu Qingqing took out a note, which was only as wide as a thumb and as long as a thumb, with only two words written on it: Quickly return.
Xu Qingqing put the note on the table and found traces of natural curls.After she rolled up the note, she found that the size and length of the note looked like a message delivered by a carrier pigeon.
Now it can be confirmed that the person Xu Qingqing saw that day was none other than Liu Lingxiu.
Zhu Di asked Xu Qingqing: "Does she have tattoos on her face?"
"Of course not. If there was, she would have been pointed at on the street." Xu Qingqing pondered, "Either she used some method to remove it, or she disguised it to cover it up."
In view of the good luck of the heroine, Xu Qingqing believes that the former possibility is more likely.
"In Fengyang City, there is a strange person who can remove tattoos." Zhu Di said.
Xu Qingqing immediately asked Zhu Di, "Who?"
"We'll talk about it when we get back to Fengyang." After Zhu Di finished speaking, he let Xu Qingqing go shopping by himself, but he had to go back home before dinner, so he turned around and left.
Xu Qingqing stared at Zhu Di's back and hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"
"See if the eighteen concubines at home are safe."
Xu Qingqing: "..."
This living king of Hades will not succeed if he grows up!
Qiu Fu was left to accompany Xu Qingqing.
Xu Qingqing continued to investigate in peace of mind, and asked the waiter in the shop to inquire about the details of Liu Lingxiu's stay.According to one of the store waiters, Liu Lingxiu once asked him how to get to the Datong blacksmith shop.
Xu Qingqing found blacksmith Wang from this Datong blacksmith shop.
As soon as Blacksmith Wang heard Xu Qingqing's description, he immediately said impatiently: "I haven't seen it before, get out, don't delay my work!"
Xu Qingqing was not annoyed, and repeatedly emphasized that she came to find her sister and asked Blacksmith Wang for help, and even wanted to thank him with money.
"I told you I don't know the person you mentioned, how can I help you, don't waste your time here!" Blacksmith Wang didn't buy it at all, and sent Xu Qingqing to get out of here again.
Xu Qingqing looked around the blacksmith's shop. It was located in a remote place. The furnace for making iron was huge. There was a big haystack at the back of the house, which was so high that it was almost level with the eaves.
Xu Qingqing also saw a few swords beside the stove, which seemed to have just been refined.
Seeing that Xu Qingqing still didn't leave, Blacksmith Wang glanced around blindly, picked up the big hammer and raised it high, while staring at Xu Qingqing, he slammed the red-hot iron in his hand, the threat was obvious.
At this moment, Qiu Fu couldn't bear it any longer, and wanted to step forward to teach Blacksmith Wang a lesson.Xu Qingqing hurriedly waved her hands, took Qiu Fu with her, and retreated immediately.
There must be something wrong with this Datong iron shop. When she first asked about Liu Lingxiu, she only mentioned one of Liu Lingxiu's characteristics, and Blacksmith Wang immediately rejected it without even thinking about it.Apparently he hadn't seen it, or he had seen it and deliberately concealed his denial.
Even though she explained that she was Liu Lingxiu's good sister, Tiejiang Wang still refused to reveal.It can be seen that what Liu Lingxiu asked him to do cannot be announced, so Wang Tiejiang seemed to have been poked at some pain point, and tried his best to drive people away, for fear of being found out.
Xu Qingqing asked Qiu Fu to help keep an eye on the Datong Iron Shop.
"My concubine, you are being polite. You must never dare to use the word 'help'. You are the master of the palace. If you need anything, just ask, and your subordinates will definitely do it."
After Qiu Fu returned to the mansion, he sent the account book and roster of the mansion.Because the prince has not yet entered the feudal domain, the temporary residence, everything and personnel arrangement are very simple.
Xu Qingqing can be regarded as seeing how thick Qiu Fu's so-called "simple" is. The densely packed words on the booklet are annoying to read. Of course, she was already upset because of her pervert.She persevered through a few pages of the roster, after all, the family she brought with her was limited, and she had to choose from the palace if she wanted to find useful people for future affairs.
It was getting dark, Xu Qingqing looked out of the window, pretending to look at the stars and the moon, but in fact her eyes kept sneaking at the gate of the courtyard.Waiting for the night to get darker and darker, but King Yan still didn't come.
Normally, she doesn't care if King Yan comes or not, but now she can't control it, she misses beauty so much.
She has not seen King Yan for one afternoon and half night, a total of six hours and three quarters, the time is as long as a century.Miss him, miss him, still miss him.
"Where's the prince?" Xu Qingqing finally couldn't hold back, and asked Biluo.
When Biluo heard that the girl was interested in the prince, she was very happy. She was really afraid that the girl would lose her temper and dislike King Yan like she did before the wedding.Excited, she immediately went to inquire, and didn't dare to take a breath, so she hurried back to report to Xu Qingqing.
"The lord is in the study room, and ordinary servants are not allowed to approach that place, and the guards are heavily guarded. The slaves have asked several people, but they can't find out what the lord is doing in there."
"You can't inquire about this kind of thing in the future." Xu Qingqing was not afraid of anything else, but she was afraid that Biluo would touch the taboo of the living Hades without restraint.If she was turned into a hedgehog by King Yan's men in the future, she would not have time to save her.
"Slaves save it."
"Is the light in the study still on?" Seeing Biluo nodding, Xu Qingqing immediately got up and went straight to the kitchen.
Most of the people in the kitchen are resting now, only the two women are packing up their things. When they suddenly saw the new concubine coming, they were all shocked, and hurriedly knelt down to pay respects.
Xu Qingqing asked them to get up and asked them for rice, millet, peanuts, wolfberries, tenderloin and coriander.
Of course, before using small coriander, I asked the old lady if it was edible, after all, some people don't like it.
"When the servant sees the cook cooking for the prince, he occasionally sprinkles some coriander, which should be edible." The woman replied honestly.
Xu Qingqing asked Biluo to grind the rice and peanuts, then set up a casserole to boil water, sprinkle the broken rice into the boiling water, add wolfberry, a small amount of lean meat that had been boiled for a while, add salt and add A little coriander.
The reason why broken rice is used is because it cooks quickly.It was late at night, King Yan didn't wait for anyone, if he suddenly rested, Xu Qingqing would have no way to find an excuse to appreciate his beauty.
Xu Qingqing took a sip of the porridge and thought it tasted okay, at least it was cooked and not salty, anyway King Yan might not know how to eat it.
Xu Qingqing quickly put the porridge into a bowl, put it in a food box, and Biluo carried it to Zhu Di's study in a hurry.
The two women in the kitchen couldn't help laughing happily when they saw the new princess cooking and delivering porridge to the prince late at night.
The new concubine is so virtuous, Prince Yan is so lucky, the young couple are so sweet and envious of others!As long as the prince and concubine are in harmony, the whole family will definitely take advantage of it.
Xu Qingqing walked to the door of the study, but was stopped by the guards unexpectedly.
"I won't go in, you just help me to give the porridge to the prince. It's late at night, let the prince drink something to warm his stomach."
After Xu Qingqing finished speaking with a dignified and virtuous face, she reluctantly looked in the direction of the study, and then turned around and walked back slowly.
She deliberately controlled the volume just now, neither high nor low, nor artificial.He spoke completely according to Zhu Di's hearing ability during the day. Zhu Di should be able to hear clearly in the room, so why didn't he come out?
Xu Qingqing was not stopped after all, it seems that King Yan was not moved at all after seeing the porridge she made.Thinking about it, he is a pampered prince, what he wants to eat is immediately prepared and delivered to his mouth, a bowl of porridge is nothing.
Xu Qingqing walked back dejectedly, intending to force herself to sleep to get over the trouble.However, she couldn't fall asleep at all, and the face of King Yan floated in her mind over and over again.I have been in contact with him a lot recently, and it seems that I have formed a habit. Whenever I think of male sex, it is equivalent to his face, and I don't even think about the little carpenter.
Xu Qingqing got up again, put on some clothes and prepared to go to the back garden to blow the night breeze and calm down.
A team of guards was patrolling by not far away, and Xu Qingqing found that the man carrying the lantern in front was very young, only about twenty, with a long face, and his facial features were not too outstanding alone, but together they had a kind of saying no. The clear taste is more attractive the more you look at it.
Xu Qingqing thought that if she just took a look from a distance, there should be no problem.She took Biluo and followed the guards not far or near.
There is a lotus pond in the garden, and not far from the other side of the pond is a place called Zhenbao Pavilion, which belongs to the boundary of the front yard, and people in the backyard are not allowed to set foot in it.After the team of guards crossed the arch bridge, they changed shifts with the guards who were originally guarding the Zhenbao Pavilion.
I don't know how many treasures there are in this Treasure Pavilion, and so many guards are required to guard them day and night.
God will help her, the long-faced little Qingjun happened to be standing under the lantern at the main entrance of Zhenbao Pavilion, although the distance was a little far away, fortunately the light was good, so he could still see him clearly.
The night wind was blowing slowly, and the coolness swept over the willow branches, silently attacking the bare skin.
Xu Qingqing shrank her neck, pulled up her collar, and still stared intently at the other side of the pond.
Suddenly a warmth enveloped her neck, and the wind seemed to stop.
Xu Qingqing looked in surprise at the cloak that suddenly wrapped around her neck, the black gold embroidered auspicious cloud pattern, and a faint sweet woody fragrance, all of which clearly showed who its owner was.
Xu Qingqing was so frightened that she turned around and saw that it was really Zhu Di, she immediately stood up and asked with a guilty smile, "Why is the prince here?"
If King Yan knew, she actually secretly peeped at his bodyguard behind his back in the middle of the night...
"What are you doing here?" Zhu Di stared at Xu Qingqing darkly, as if his eyes were stained with ink.
Xu Qingqing was afraid that King Yan would find out that she was looking at the little guard, so she pretended to move her body inadvertently, so that Zhu Di's eyes would stay away from the direction of Zhenbao Pavilion.
"I can't sleep alone, so I come out for a walk when I have nothing to do."
After Xu Qingqing finished explaining, she realized that Zhu Di wanted to look elsewhere, so she immediately grabbed his arm.
Zhu Di withdrew his gaze and landed on Xu Qingqing again.
"Are you done?"
"Ah."
"Being a prince is really tiring, to be so busy until late, hehe..."
Xu Qingqing didn't know what to talk to the Living Hades, so she laughed dryly.
"This, thank you!"
Xu Qingqing tugged at the cloak on her body, thanked Zhu Di happily, she didn't expect that the king of Hades cared about others, it was very good.
"Doctors should respect themselves, otherwise there is no talk of helping the world and saving people."
Xu Qingqing: "..."
She knew that Huo Hades was not that kind. It turned out that she was afraid that she would not be able to take care of herself, and would freeze to death, so that no one would treat his schizophrenia.
What a ruthless, indifferent, living Hades man with no human feelings at all!
"go back."
Zhu Di looked at Xu Qingqing's thin clothes with distaste, turned around and left first.
Xu Qingqing followed immediately, and couldn't help but peek at Zhu Di's face as he walked. Sure enough, this face was more beautiful, and it would be more perfect if he could smile.
Xu Qingqing followed Zhu Di all the way back to the room, and Zhu Di turned his head and gave Xu Qingqing a cold look.
"Haven't seen enough yet?"
Xu Qingqing also knew that it was inappropriate for her to look at people this way, so she flattered her very apologetically, "I'm wondering about one thing."
"What's the matter?" Zhu Di sat down and took a sip of tea.
"The prince is so handsome and elegant, as bright as a jade tree, he must not be a man in the dust."
If you take a picture like this, the Living Hades should be happy, right?
Zhu Di's hand holding the tea paused, and his throat moved slightly for a long time before he swallowed the tea in his mouth.
"It's time for the princess to learn etiquette."
Xu Qingqing was very surprised, why?These learning rules are even more exhausting than doing a hundred sets of "Five-Year College Entrance Examination and Three-Year Simulation".Besides, she has already learned the basic etiquette rules, so no matter how many rules she learns, she won't be able to stop her from committing a sexual disorder, so why waste time.
"Is it wrong to praise your husband?" Xu Qingqing retorted.
"The nominal husband." Zhu Di corrected.
"It's also a cooperative relationship. Complimenting each other is the proper etiquette. Besides, I always praise the prince, but I haven't seen him praise me. I don't mind. Why does the prince mind?"
It's really heartless for the Living Hades to despise her for not having the restraint of a woman.She got into this situation just to help his sister.
After Xu Qingqing finished speaking, she found that Zhu Di's eyes were getting colder and colder, and she thought that she might really be cold.This proud prince must be very angry when he encounters very few people who dare to refute him, especially women who refute him.
Sure enough, Xu Qingqing saw that Zhu Di was about to leave.
Xu Qingqing hesitated for a moment, but her legs were faster than her mind, and hurried to him.
"I was wrong, I owe you." Xu Qingqing stretched out her arms and blocked his way.After waiting for a while, I didn't hear the Living Hades speak, nor did I hear his leaving footsteps.Xu Qingqing quietly raised her head and peeked at him, facing a pair of indifferent eyes.
Xu Qingqing lowered her head again.
The top of the jet-black hair is clean, with well-defined roots and a natural luster. It is not like many aristocratic women who brush their hair with oil.The forehead is white and full, and the eyelashes are like fans. Because she blinks frequently, she is trembling at the moment.
Since he didn't leave immediately and didn't get angry, did he soften?Xu Qingqing secretly pondered the thoughts of this living Hades,
"Don't go, okay?" Xu Qingqing tried to mutter in a low voice, her voice was soft and waxy, like a well-behaved little white rabbit.
After a while, Zhu Difang said, "What are you doing here?"
"Uh--"
"I just got married, and the surroundings are unfamiliar and a bit scary. I will manage the inner courtyard of the palace in the future, and I don't know what the prince is taboo, so I want to talk to the prince, and talk about it by the way."
"At a time like this?"
Xu Qing saw that Zhu Di's expression became very subtle, and knew that it was late at night, and it seemed that the time was not right, so she hurriedly added an explanation: "Actually, it doesn't take long, can the prince just say a few words with me before leaving?"
Zhu Di stared at Xu Qingqing silently, without responding.
King Yan must have felt that she was talking nonsense and looking for trouble.It seems that the idea of chatting with him for a while is difficult to realize, it is better to take a second look now.Xu Qingqing, who had already decided to give up on herself, suddenly heard a chuckle from above her ear.
"A bowl of porridge for the princess is really precious."
Where did this come from?Xu Qingqing looked at Zhu Di in puzzlement, but saw that Zhu Di had already summoned a maid to wait for him to change clothes.
Xu Qingqing hurriedly turned around, pretending not to look, and waited for a while.She quietly turned her head to glance over, only to find that he was changing clothes behind a screen, so she couldn't see it at all, which made her think so much in vain.
After Zhu Di came out of the clean room, he had already finished bathing, his black hair was loose and still a little wet.It is said that a beauty is like Furong when she comes out of the bath, and this handsome man seems to be the same when he comes out of the bath. His skin is as white as jade, with a little bit of red. Get more and more eye-catching like a bright star, and your tolerance is impressive.
Seeing that the maid was going to serve Zhu Di to comb his hair, Xu Qingqing immediately rushed over to indicate that she was coming.Zhu Di glanced at Xu Qingqing, but didn't make a sound to stop her.
This is a good opportunity to appreciate the beauty at close range. Every time Xu Qingqing brushes her hair, she looks at Zhu Di's face through the bronze mirror.In this way, it took nearly a stick of incense to burn slowly, before Xu Qingqing combed enough, the wooden comb in her hand was snatched by Zhu Di.
But Xu Qingqing's wrist held by him has not been let go, Xu Qingqing was stunned, looking at King Yan who was getting closer to her body, suddenly felt that something was wrong with the development of the situation.
Xu Qingqing was about to speak out to make amends, and just about to utter a word, she was replaced by an exclamation of "ah", and she was hugged by Zhu Di.
Xu Qingqing wants to cry but has no tears, this development is wrong.She just wanted the Living Hades to simply chat with her. She didn't have any traditional Chinese medicine this time, so she could pass by simply admiring the beauty!
However, it was too late.
Once it's easy to have a second time...
After all, people have to pay for their own stupidity!Waking up early in the morning with a sore waist and leg pain, Xu Qingqing thought of it as if she had been run over by a carriage.
King Yan is going in the wrong direction. Didn't he promise to be a nominal husband and wife?On the wedding night, everyone took traditional Chinese medicine, and it was unavoidable.They were all sober last night...
Xu Qingqing suddenly trembled, remembering what he said last night, 'a bowl of porridge from the princess is really precious', could it be that King Yan thought that she deliberately gave him porridge to please him?Thinking about it, it was exasperating. Literally, it seemed to praise her that a bowl of porridge was expensive, but in reality, he was praising him for being valuable.
What about men and women, from the point of view of popular concepts, don't all women suffer, he is precious!
But then he thought about it, he is the majestic King Yan of the Ming Dynasty, and he actually thanked him with his body just because the woman gave him a bowl of porridge.What about his noble integrity as a prince?They were all eaten by dogs.
She actually still dislikes her lack of restraint, and should learn etiquette, Xu Qingqing thinks that he should be the one who should learn etiquette the most.Anyway, before having sex with a girl, you should politely ask if you have the same intentions, instead of suddenly picking up the girl and coming!
Xu Qingqing frowned while rubbing her waist, some of them thought about it a lot, in short, she was determined not to go to Yan Wang desperately because of lust.It would be safer for her to go and see that long-faced Qingjuan little guard.
I've been twice and I don't know if I'm pregnant or not.
Today is the third day after the big wedding, the day of returning home.
Xu Qingqing had written the prescription of Bizitang in advance, and when she arrived at Duke Wei's mansion, she sent Biluo to take the opportunity to grab the medicine.
When the prince and his wife came, Xu Da, Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Cai and other big family members all had to greet them solemnly, and all the servants in the mansion who had no rank or imperial order would kneel down and kowtow to see them according to the etiquette.
Not only the sisters in the family became respectful to Xu Qingqing, but even Mrs. Cai wanted to talk to Xu Qingqing respectfully, and she didn't dare to raise her eyelids casually when speaking.
After Xu Da invited King Yan to the front hall to talk to each other, the female relatives relaxed a little bit, but after Xu Qingqing repeatedly asked 'don't be polite', everyone dared to be more casual.
Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Cai hurriedly took Xu Qingqing's hand and asked how her situation was after marriage. Both of them had been there, and when they saw Xu Qingqing's eyebrows and eyes, there was a charm that the girl's family didn't have, and they knew that King Yan was not as rumored. Cold people.Let's see that when he returned home today, the gifts he brought were all extremely precious and thoughtful, but they were not the gift list randomly drawn up by the internal officials according to the regulations.
"Looking at King Yan's talent, I treat you very well." Mrs. Cai couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear. This marriage is afraid of enmity. It would be great if the eldest granddaughter could be loved by King Yan. Even if she is a concubine, if she loses her family A man's love will sooner or later dry up into a dry well.A loving husband and wife with deep affection is the best result.
Xu Qingqing smirked and agreed, "My lord really treats me very well, hehehe..."
He thought that whoever married would know, just trying to figure out his thoughts could drain a person's brain capacity and torture a person to death.
Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Cai were satisfied when they heard the answer, and they all came up with the housekeeping methods they knew to pass on to Xu Qingqing.Xu Qingqing took it seriously for a while, and only made a conclusion: It's all life experience, and it's a good way, enough to deal with ordinary men.It is useless to deal with King Yan.
So listening is tantamount to listening to it for nothing, it is better to drink tea.
On that side, Xu Da suddenly sent someone to summon Xu Qingqing, as if there was a big emergency.
As soon as Xu Qingqing entered the door, she found that the servants in the room had all withdrawn and closed the door.So, only she and Xu Da were left in the room.
"Father, what's the big deal?"
"Evil! What are you doing!" Xu Da slapped the prescription on the table.
Xu Qingqing glanced at it, it was the recipe of Bizitang she had given to Biluo before.
Seeing that Xu Qingqing didn't speak, Xu Da hurriedly walked up to her with his hands behind his back, "Even if you look down on King Yan, he is now your husband, and your status has been enshrined in the emperor's gold book, which cannot be changed in this lifetime. Yan Wang is honored, you are honored; Yan Wang is damaged, you are damaged, do you understand this truth?"
"My daughter understands."
"Then what's going on?" Xu Da pointed at the prescription.
Xu Qingqing suddenly rolled her eyes, trying to understand one thing, that was the problematic wedding wine on the wedding night.Her drug didn't work, which means that someone poured the wine and added aphrodisiacs and medicines to the newly changed wine. Even King Yan didn't know, so who could it be?And the prescription she gave to Biluo, why did it get into Xu Da's hands so easily?
"Why didn't you explain it?"
"The reason why I took this prescription was to see if my father would come to me."
Xu Da was puzzled and asked Xu Qingqing what he meant.
"Dad told Biluo to change the drugged Hejin wine, right?" Xu Qingqing asked.
Xu Da was stunned, and suddenly changed from a fierce wolf to a ungrateful little sheep, "Ahaha, I also prepared those medicines for my father, so I can help you."
"If you keep a dagger with you for self-defense, do you have to use the dagger to kill people? I don't have to use the medicines I prepared, nor are they aimed at King Yan. It depends on the specific situation. Dad doesn't distinguish between indiscriminate and casual medicines. The servant girls spy on me and betray me."
Xu Da hurriedly explained that he didn't mean that, he was only worried about Xu Qingqing's life after marriage.Xu Da repeatedly apologized to Xu Qingqing, saying that he really cared too much, and promised not to do so in the future.
"Then Biluo—" Xu Qingqing knew that Biluo's first loyal person so far was Xu Da. She didn't think there was any problem with this before, but now she finds that there is a big problem.
"Father, go and explain to her that she will only listen to you alone in the future. Even if father uses a knife to force her, she will not be allowed to listen to half a word of father."
"it is good."
"However, you have to agree to one condition for your father, and you will live a good life with King Yan in the future, but you are not allowed to make such a thing happen." Xu Da picked up the prescription on the table and tore it into pieces.
The next day, Xu Qingqing and Zhu Di were called into the palace again.
It turned out that the prince who was away on business came back and specially congratulated the two on their wedding and gave them gifts.
What makes Xu Qingqing feel a little weird is that brothers send congratulatory gifts and meet in private to get close casually.Now, in front of the empress especially formally, he said his congratulatory speech in a serious manner, and introduced the sources of several gifts he gave with a smile, which made Xu Qingqing feel that it was too ceremonial.
However, the emperor and empress liked this very much. They looked at their brothers and brothers with a smile, and admired the prince's simple and diligent performance.
Zhu Di didn't speak much, and even thanked him lightly, but this did not delay the prince's enthusiasm and kindness in the slightest.
In the end, the Crown Princess Chang gave Xu Qingqing the sandalwood beads she polished and stringed as an extra congratulatory gift.I wish her and King Yan a long life and be blessed by the Buddha.
"Thank you sister-in-law." Xu Qingqing also didn't say much, and after accepting the gift obediently, she thanked her and said nothing more.
"Fourth brother should return to Fengyang in a few days, right? It's only been a few days since we got married, so I've wronged my siblings." The princess sighed.
When Xu Qingqing heard that Zhu Di was going to leave, and she was the only one staying in the mansion, she almost couldn't hold back her laughter.She pretended to be sad, lowered her eyebrows and said pleasantly: "You should put the prince's business first, and if you are not wronged, you will not be wronged at all."
Empress Ma couldn't help feeling distressed when she saw this, and said to the emperor: "The eldest daughter-in-law is right. The fourth child is just newly married, so he should go to Fengyang as well. It just so happens that the second and third children have not met their siblings yet, why don't you let them go?" The fourth daughter-in-law will follow?"
"You princes are serious about practicing in Fengyang. How can my daughter-in-law follow her to make trouble? Besides, when my daughter-in-law was in Fengyang, she was lucky enough to meet the third brother once." Xu Qingqing immediately blocked Queen Ma's idea.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that Xu Qingqing had met King Jin, he asked him to talk about it.
Xu Qingqing told about meeting King Jin for dinner at Shengque Tower, "I didn't recognize him at the time, but I found out the identity of the third brother later."
When mentioning this matter, Xu Qingqing didn't want to go back to Fengyang ostentatiously, because she completely offended King Jin that day.Even if Fengyang wants to go back, he should go back quietly.
"I remember Shengquelou. It's an old shop. The sweet-scented osmanthus cake there is the best, but it's also the most expensive. It costs one or two silver a catty." Empress Ma mentioned the price and looked at the emperor with an unhappy expression.
The emperor naturally understood what Empress Ma meant, and agreed to go to Fengyang to practice and experience the hard work of their Zhu family ancestors in their ancestral land. As a result, the child actually went to a place like Shengquelou to eat and enjoy.How can this work!
The emperor immediately clapped the table and made a final decision, ordering Xu Qingqing to go to Fengyang with King Yan.
"Good boy, you grew up in Fengyang through hard work, and now you take their brothers to live in the Taoist temple, no matter whether you grow radishes, herd cattle or raise geese, in short, let them endure hardships and experience, and they must not live in extravagance. wind."
When Xu Qingqing heard this, she felt a huge thunderbolt "slap" loudly on her head.
Emperor, what does this mean?She actually wanted her to be a disciplinary committee member for the three arrogant princes!
"Your Majesty Father, how can a daughter-in-law have such ability, how can she casually lecture her brothers." Xu Qingqing looked at Zhu Di with a bitter face, asking him for help.This guy actually looked at the ground in front of him without squinting, as if he didn't feel her hint.
"'A sage has no permanent teacher, so disciples don't have to be inferior to teachers, and teachers don't have to be better than disciples'. Although you are a sister-in-law, you have learned the truth before them in terms of hard work and farming. They should take you as their teacher and learn from you .”
The emperor was very satisfied with his arrangement, and patted his thigh with a smile while talking, feeling that his decision was very wise.
Empress Ma, the prince, and the concubine consorted with each other and supported the emperor's decision very much.
Xu Qingqing had no choice but to accept his fate, and promised the emperor that he would seriously lead the three princes to raise geese, herd cattle, and grow radishes.
In order to show his determination, the emperor was also afraid that Xu Qingqing, a woman, would not be able to control the scene, so he sent a team of pro-army at Xu Qingqing's disposal.It's just that during this experience, only the deeds of the three princes can be recorded, and Xu Qingqing as a female family member will not be mentioned.
Xu Qingqing had to be mentioned, and she really didn't want to show the limelight of bringing three princes to raise geese.
After coming out of the palace, Xu Qingqing took off the prayer beads given by the princess and ordered Biluo to keep them away.
"Don't like it?" Zhu Di asked.
"This string of beads has been enshrined in front of the Buddha for a long time, and there are eminent monks chanting scriptures to bless them. It is also made by my sister-in-law. Naturally, it is full of new ideas and very precious. It must be preserved carefully."
Zhu Di looked at her speechlessly.
"I still prefer things that are really expensive." Xu Qingqing stopped pretending and simply told the truth, "Besides, my sister-in-law didn't know the truth before I married the prince, right? Why didn't you give me Buddhist beads?"
"Don't bother."
Zhu Di ordered Qiu Fu to bring a box of agate strings from the Zhenbao Pavilion to Xu Qingqing, and let her play with it at will.
Three days later.
Xu Qingqing bid farewell to Xu Da's family, and under the escort of a group of pro-military troops, she went to Fengyang with King Yan to raise geese.
