Those years when I was Princess Yan

Xu Qingqing bathed with Zhu Di, and when she wiped his body with a handkerchief, she couldn't help poking the muscles on his arm.Zhu Di gave her a squinting look, and told her to go to rest, don't help.

"How can this be a disservice, it won't wipe the prince's back." Xu Qingqing dipped the handkerchief in water and put it on Zhu Di's back, but she made a big move and threw Zhu Di with water all over her face.

Xu Qingqing hastily took another clean handkerchief to wipe his face, with sword-like eyebrows and phoenix eyes, deep and flat eyes, straight nose bridge, thin lips, black hair hanging down like a cloud, and this figure, with a wasp waist ape arm...

Xu Qingqing wanted to look deeper, but her eyes were covered with her hands.

"Your look is exactly the same as before."

"When was it?" Xu Qingqing used her fingers to pry open the gap between Zhu Di's fingers, revealing a pair of dark eyes looking at him between Zhu Di's index finger and middle finger.

"When I climbed the wall to peep." After Zhu Di explained and answered in a low voice, he suddenly covered Xu Qingqing's face with the veil that Xu Qingqing wiped his face, and then got up.

Xu Qingqing lay beside the bathtub for a long time, for what, of course, for the scene of 'beautiful boy out of bath'.She hurriedly tore off the veil, but saw that Zhu Di had already put on his clothes.Hey, why are you moving so fast?

Xu Qingqing immediately approached Zhu Di, seeing that he had already put on his snow-white inner coat, she frowned and gave him a dissatisfied look.

Zhu Di was amused by her eyes, "Why?"

"Why don't you show it to me? Come back after a long journey."

After Xu Qingqing finished speaking, her fingers caught her belt.Zhu Di immediately grabbed her hand, not allowing her to make trouble.

Xu Qingqing guessed the reason for Zhu Di's restraint, so she just pursed her lips and smiled, but didn't point it out.

After the two of them returned to bed and lay down, Zhu Di put Xu Qingqing in his arms and fell asleep.It is not suitable to stay in the capital for a long time, he has to go back early tomorrow.

But Xu Qingqing turned over suddenly, lay on Zhu Di's shoulder, leaned into his ear, and asked in a low voice.

After hearing the words, Zhu Di frowned and glanced at Xu Qingqing, but didn't answer her, just pressed Xu Qingqing's head and let her sleep peacefully.

"The lord just answers whether he wants to or not?" Xu Qingqing's two slender fingers were bouncing and walking on Zhu Di's chest.

"What do you want?" Zhu Di's half-closed eyes were dim and vaguely ready to move.

"The lord came all the way to see this concubine, and I should repay the lord well."

After Xu Qingqing finished speaking, she covered her head with the quilt and went down...

Zhu Di closed his eyes, and after frowning slightly, his breathing became heavier.

After the incident, Xu Qingqing was held in Zhu Di's arms fiercely, as if to crush her.

"Where did you learn the trick?"

This man is done with himself, and he wants to torture you.

Xu Qingqing casually took out the two picture albums under her pillow and gave them to Zhu Di, "Isn't it easy, there are all in the picture albums. But, it's easy to understand on paper. Easy!"

Zhu Di took the booklet away, and tapped Xu Qingqing's head with his finger, "You are so bold to read this while pregnant."

"The prince is afraid that the child will learn badly? But if this matter is completely avoided, there will be no him." Xu Qingqing patted his belly, reassuring Zhu Di that this matter would definitely not affect the child.But if the parents are not loving enough, it will definitely affect the growth of the child.

Zhu Di chuckled, and tugged at Xu Qingqing's ear, "With a mother like you who makes a lot of fallacies every day, he will be affected."

"Then let's make an agreement. After the child is born, the prince will take care of him. There are too many fallacies about concubine status, so it's not suitable to take care of him, so as not to affect him."

Xu Qingqing went down the donkey along the slope, and handed over the responsibility of taking care of the children to Zhu Di smoothly.Strengthen Zhu Di's sense of responsibility as a father, so that Zhu Di can have a deep affection for his children.When the feudal nobles raised their children, their fathers almost let go of them except assigning tasks and homework for school examinations. This was not conducive to the development of parent-child relationship.

"it is good."

Zhu Di bowed his head and kissed Xu Qingqing's forehead, he naturally understood where her thoughts were, and naturally wanted to follow her wishes.After all, this clever ghost has been serving him very carefully just now.

Xu Qingqing closed her eyes for a while, and when she felt that Zhu Di seemed to be asleep, she opened her eyes and looked at him for a long, long time, until her eyelids couldn't hang anymore, then she closed her eyes and fell asleep leaning on Zhu Di's shoulder.

Only then did Zhu Di open his eyes, and pulled the quilt over Xu Qingqing's shoulders to ensure that she would not catch a cold, and then fell asleep with his arms around her again.

When Xu Qingqing woke up the next day, the seat beside her was already empty. If it wasn't for the traces of someone lying on the mattress, she would feel that she was just dreaming last night.

King Yan probably really isn't good at saying goodbye, so that's good, so as not to make people cry.

After Xu Qingqing got up, she stretched her waist, and inadvertently saw three things on the low table on the couch.In view of the fact that the prince had left a pack of crispy chicken wings on the table when he came back last time, so Xu Qingqing immediately knew that he had left something extra this time.

On the low table are three wooden figures carved out of red sandalwood, two big and one small.The man is taller, and at first glance it is Zhu Di in the prince's uniform, and the woman is wearing the Yanju crown, which is her.The child's round face looks cute, which must be referring to the one in her stomach.The three wooden figurines are all very exquisitely carved. After careful polishing, the surface is smooth and bright. One can tell that he has put a lot of thought into it.

Before Xu Qingqing fetched the scholar, she carved the little Taoist wooden figurine for her. Compared with the carving techniques, there are many similarities between the two sides, but there are slight differences.Especially when it comes to the way of sculpting her face and facial features, the scholar Zhu Di focuses on the gentle and graceful charm, while Yan Wang's is more witty and playful.

Xu Qingqing ordered Biluo to fetch the most exquisite treasure box, and put the four wooden figures in the treasure box for collection.

When Biluo took the box away, Xu Qingqing changed her mind again, called Biluo back, took out all the wooden figures, and placed them on the table.This way she can pick it up and look at it every day.

Biluo saw that her princess looked at the happy and contented face of the little wooden figure, and couldn't help laughing too.

"The prince really puts so much thought into the concubine." Biluo couldn't help urging Xu Qingqing to report back to the empress when she had time. It's time to go to Fengyang to accompany the prince. I can't let the prince come back secretly next month, it's too risky .

Xu Qingqing nodded, she was thinking the same.

When having breakfast, Xu Qingqing couldn't help thinking that Zhu Di had left so early, and wondered if she had breakfast now.

After changing clothes after dinner, Xu Qingqing was ready to enter the palace to meet Empress Ma, and then she went out, and someone from the other side reported that Princess Jin had arrived.

Xu Qingqing couldn't help frowning, she didn't know Mrs. Xie well, it was a little offensive that she didn't even follow the etiquette of notifying her of her worship in advance when she came to the door suddenly.

But since the person came, there was no reason for Xu Qingqing to disappear, but there was no need for Xu Qingqing to delay meeting Empress Ma just because she saw her.

Therefore, Xu Qingqing only had a face-to-face meeting with Mrs. Xie on the way away.

"I don't know that the third sister-in-law is coming today. I'm preparing to enter the palace to meet the empress. I'm afraid I won't have time to accompany the third sister-in-law."

"It's okay, I came here recklessly, but I do have some things I want to talk to my fourth sibling. Although the fourth sibling goes to the palace first, I will just wait here for the fourth sibling to come back." Xie said to Xu Qingqing smiled enthusiastically.

Xu Qingqing understood now that Mrs. Xie probably knew that she was going to enter the palace today, and deliberately picked this time to come here, because she wanted to stay alone in her mansion.

Naturally, the meeting with the queen cannot be delayed, and Xu Qingqing can't rudely drive Xie away, so Biluo and others can only keep Xie's close attention.

"Don't let go of every move she makes. If she pants loudly, I will write it down. And the maids around her, all of them are closely watched by me." Xu Qingqing instructed, before leaving.

When they arrived at Kunning Palace, Xu Qingqing met the princess Chang who hadn't shown up for a long time beside the queen.

Ever since Chang Mingzhu poisoned her last time, Chang has been avoiding seeing people, especially her because of her illness.This time he appeared suddenly, and it happened at this time, as if he was deliberately waiting for her to come.

"Today is a good day. Your sister-in-law is finally cured." Empress Ma laughed.

"My daughter-in-law is feeling depressed, but she's always lying in bed and taking medicine, but she can't do it. She has to go out for a walk, get some fresh air, and bask in the sun, so she can recover quickly." Chang said to Empress Ma with an easy-going smile.

Empress Ma nodded in agreement, "It happens that your fourth sibling is here, so let's go for a walk in the garden together."

In the imperial garden, the weeping willows are fresh green, and the peach blossoms are just in time, and it is a good spring everywhere.

Chang praised the beauty of the peach blossoms, and wrote a poem by the way.Empress Ma praised her very well, and praised her as a talented person.Xu Qingqing also responded with a few words of agreement.

"Siblings don't have to worry about it. You have your ability, but we can't." Chang said with a smile.

Xu Qingqing wondered: When did she care?When did this Chang start to learn to open his eyes and tell nonsense?

Xu Qingqing concluded in a flash of thought that Xie's and Chang's went out of order together today, how could there be such a coincidence, there must be a demon in it!

Empress Ma was looking up at the peach blossoms, not paying attention to Xu Qingqing and Chang's situation.Naturally, I didn't doubt Chang's words, I thought that Chang's found out that Xu Qingqing was ashamed because she couldn't write poetry, so she spoke to persuade her, and couldn't help praising Chang's worthy of being a princess, with a dignified appearance, which can be used as a gift for all princesses. example.

Although Chang failed to teach his younger sister Chang Mingzhu well, but this person's temperament is good or bad, but not everyone can grasp it casually.Just like the princes brought up in the palace, there are both good and bad, and they can be as good as the grown-ups want them to be.So this matter cannot be entirely blamed on Chang, not to mention that Chang has been sick for more than a month, even if there is a punishment, it is enough.After all, her father followed the emperor to conquer the world and made great contributions. He even almost lost his life trying to defend the emperor from arrows.

Xu Qingqing didn't answer the princess's words.Empress Ma just gave Chang's approval a glance, but didn't answer her words.

Seeing this, Mrs. Chang asked Xu Qingqing again, "It's a good day today, and it's just a matter of time to be free, so my brother and sister will tell us about your time as a Taoist nun in a Taoist temple. It must be interesting."

"Cultivation has always been hard work. I meditate and chant scriptures every day, and do some chores in the rest of the time. Most of the days are very monotonous. There is nothing special interesting, and some things have already been said."

Xu Qingqing didn't give Chang's face, because she could feel that the other party was obviously targeting her.Before she understands the opponent's purpose, she can't just accept the move.

Chang's did not expect that Xu Qingqing, who was always lively and talkative, would not give her face at this moment.

"My natal sister-in-law came to visit me two days ago. Her natal family is also in Fengyang. When relatives came to visit me, I accidentally told her about my younger siblings."

Empress Ma became interested when she heard the words, "Oh? What did you say, let's talk about it."

"It is said that when the younger siblings practiced Taoism in Fengyang, they were very famous. Many people in the local area called the younger siblings Xu Xianren. Every family rushed to go to the Ping'an Temple to offer incense because of the efficacious spells of the fourth younger siblings.

The fourth younger brother and younger sister are all sentient beings, exorcising evil and defilement for many local rich families who have run into evil in their homes.Some children benefited from this, and they have since reformed their evil ways.There is also an old woman who is haunted by ghosts every night, and her four younger siblings also drove away the demons. For this reason, the family specially built bridges and paved roads, and gave porridge relief to the people in order to be grateful. "

"It's so powerful?" Empress Ma was astonished, looked at Xu Qingqing in surprise, and asked her if all these things were true.I didn't expect her to hide her clumsiness, and she never showed off such a powerful ability.

Xu Qingqing was not dazzled by the compliments from the Crown Princess. Obviously, the other party's intentions were not pure, and she didn't even recover from her illness. She came here to find her, and it was absolutely impossible for her to simply praise her in front of Empress Ma. she.

The higher you praise her now, the worse she will fall when you turn around and fuck her.

"It's not that powerful. Thanks to my sister-in-law for helping me speak so many good things in order to please my mother. But those rituals are just following the method taught by the master, and they are just normal practices. Many Taoist priests know it. Maybe it's me I'm lucky, I meet good people, and it's not a big deal, and the benefactors are all kind and like to praise others, so they touted me as a fairy. What's the real situation? Look at me now!"

Xu Qingqing tried her best to jump, and then fell back to the original place.

Empress Ma and Chang didn't understand Xu Qingqing's jumping behavior.

"It doesn't look like a fairy, it doesn't even fly as high as a chicken, let alone soars like a fairy." Xu Qingqing shook her head and sighed helplessly.

Empress Ma immediately covered her mouth and laughed non-stop.

Xu Qingqing said to Empress Ma with a serious face: "Mother, do you know how boastful those people are? It's just a nice talk. Sometimes it's because the ordinary life is too monotonous and boring. If something happens, I exaggerate it, it’s so interesting that it’s worth spreading the word.”

Empress Ma has been a commoner, and she also knows that many stories among women become more and more evil as they spread.After Xu Qingqing's explanation, she didn't care about Chang's words.After all, Zhengzhuer is here, and Zhengzhuer explained that there is nothing wrong, so it is nothing, so it is naturally credible.

Mrs. Chang was not reconciled, and wanted to mention it again, "It is true that there is a son who likes to gamble, and goes to the gambling shop to gamble every day, because after the younger brother and sister practiced the method, they stopped gambling and began to earnestly seek progress at home."

Empress Ma looked at Xu Qingqing.

Xu Qingqing asked Chang's back: "Is the person the Crown Princess is talking about the son of a prince?"

After thinking for a while, Chang pretended to be uncertain and nodded, "It seems to be him."

Xu Qingqing told Empress Ma the evil deeds Wang Ao did when he was an official, and how the wife of Wang Ao had an affair with Wang Ao and was caught on the spot.

"When I finished my work, the people in the mansion were watching over Mr. Wang, so he naturally had to refrain from going to the gambling house for a few days. Not long after that, Wang Ao committed a crime, and Wang Yuanwai was also arrested as an accomplice. Into the prison. The family is destitute, so how can the prince have money to gamble?"

The reason why Xu Qingqing tried her best to get rid of her relationship with these things was because she had vaguely noticed Chang's purpose.Chang seems to want to try her best to prove that she knows magic, she is very powerful, and she is mysterious.Once she is framed, it is likely to say that the rituals she has done are weird, and then classify her as witchcraft.In the royal family, witchcraft is a taboo.She and the prince had realized this earlier, and were careful to guard against it.

Not everyone can understand things like good words and mantras in a good way.She should be thankful now that she was very cautious when she used the spell, and didn't leave any excuses for others.Every time she practiced the method, she and the person involved performed it alone. The other person was hypnotized and did not quite understand her process.And when she used the spell, she happened to use some magic tools as a way to deceive her eyes, which can now be explained as a normal practice.

Because Xu Qingqing told the story vividly and vividly, especially the part about Wang Ao's adultery with Wang Ao's wife, Empress Ma's focus now is not on Xu Qingqing's ability to act, but on the prefect Wang Ao's crimes.After hearing that the case was settled by Zhu Di, Empress Ma was very pleased.

Chang's wanted to say more, but Xu Qingqing spoke up before her.

"I don't know what kind of relatives my sister-in-law's natal sister-in-law is. I know so many things. Many things are almost forgotten by me, the person involved, but she can count them out. It's a rare good memory."

Xu Qingqing sighed, and Chang's face became embarrassed.Empress Ma immediately became suspicious and cast a suspicious look at Chang.

Chang hurriedly took a step forward, and the peach blossom hit her on the face, "Oh, look at this flower, I looked at it a few times, and it didn't like it!"

"Not really, I think this corresponds to the phrase 'human face peach blossom'." Xu Qingqing took Chang's words this time, helped Chang's change the subject, and helped her out.

Empress Ma was already suspicious, so naturally she wouldn't lose her train of thought just because of Chang's little move.However, Xu Qingqing's performance in answering the conversation later surprised her very much, and she also liked it very much.

This girl had obviously noticed that Mrs. Chang seemed to be trying to make things difficult for her, but she didn't pursue her closely.When Chang changed the subject, she graciously cooperated and let the matter pass.This kind of measurement is really rare, and even she herself may not be able to achieve this.

Empress Ma stayed with Xu Qingqing for a long time this time, until Mrs. Chang finally left, she took Xu Qingqing's hand and said a few words of comfort to her.Hearing Xu Qingqing euphemistically mention that she is now pregnant and wants to go to Fengyang, Empress Ma smiled and immediately agreed.

"But you want to be the fourth child?" Empress Ma asked teasingly.

Xu Qingqing nodded shyly, pursing her lips.

Empress Ma is even more happy to see her like this, the husband and wife are loving, and the sweetness is mixed with oil, which is the most enviable.The so-called family harmony can make everything prosper, and with a pregnant woman like her, only when she is in a good mood can she raise a good baby and give her a big white and fat grandson.

However, even though the journey from the capital to Fengyang was unwilling, she had to take a carriage, Empress Ma told Xu Qingqing to be cautious.Xu Qingqing immediately obediently agreed.

After Xu Qingqing left, Empress Ma was able to see the emperor, so she couldn't help but praise the fourth daughter-in-law to him, "Lively and dignified, kind and clever, it's rare to have a delicate heart, which is the most tolerant."

The emperor suddenly heard that Empress Ma praised Xu Qingqing so highly, and asked her if something happened today, which made her feel so emotional.

"It's just a small matter between women. It's not interesting to talk about it, but you can see the character of the children from these small things. Mrs. Xu is excellent!" After Empress Ma said, seeing that the emperor was only drinking tea and did not express his opinion , just kept looking at him.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, raised his eyebrows and said innocently: "Why do you keep looking at me like this, I have always looked good at my fourth daughter-in-law, can the person I choose be wrong?"

Empress Ma couldn't help laughing, but she thought in her heart that it's okay, Princess Qin was also chosen by him, look what's going on now.The last time Princess Qin wandered in front of the Kunning Palace, Empress Ma naturally got the news, and guessed that Princess Qin probably couldn't bear it after sending King Qin away that time, and wanted to come to her to complain.Later, it was the fourth daughter-in-law who persuaded her to leave, and then it stopped.Speaking of which, she is the fourth daughter-in-law again, so she should be given credit for this matter.

"Do you think that the children who practice Taoism are so well-behaved? Why don't the fifth daughter-in-law go to the Taoist temple for half a year before she gets married?" The emperor suddenly had a strange idea and asked Empress Ma.

Empress Ma quickly shook her head, urging her to stop quickly, "This can be divided into people, is it possible that every female crown can be like the fourth daughter-in-law?"

The emperor patted his leg regretfully, "Yes."

……

After Xu Qingqing left the palace, she ordered the coachman to rush back to the palace as soon as possible.Coincidentally, on the road, another carriage that was driving fast was Juan.

When the two carriages met, Juan's carriage naturally had to give way.When he got out of the car to pay respects, Xu Qingqing's carriage was passing by him.Xu Qingqing glanced at Juan through the window screen, and behaved very well, but the expression on his face was very complacent and rampant.

I'm afraid it wasn't a chance encounter this time, but Juan was deliberately showing off to her.It seems that the matter of his killing someone before has been settled, and there is nothing wrong with Juan.Probably because of this, the Hu family father and son became more and more rampant, making threats both openly and secretly.

After Xu Qingqing arrived at the mansion, she immediately asked her entourage where Princess Jin was.

"People left when they stayed here, saying, 'I guess the princess won't come back for a while, and I'll come back tomorrow when I'm really bored'."

"Where has she stayed and what has she done?"

When they arrived at the main hall, Biluo told her where Princess Jin was sitting and drank a cup of tea. There were 26 entourages in total, [-] stayed in the stable, and [-] followed her into the mansion.When tasting tea, those maidservants were all there, no one left, and they didn't make any small moves.When I left, there was nothing special, the whole process was normal.

He came to the door suddenly, claiming to wait for her to come back, but left after drinking a cup of tea.It is so abnormal, if it is normal, it is impossible.

Xu Qingqing pondered for a while, but she still couldn't figure out why Mrs. Xie came here.Just in case, Xu Qingqing asked Biluo and others to check the tables and chairs that Mrs. Xie had sat on, and even searched and cleaned the entire hall, and there was nothing abnormal.

Xu Qingqing closed her eyes and recalled again, then opened her eyes suddenly, and finally knew where the accident might have happened.

On the second day, Mrs. Xie came to see Xu Qingqing as promised.But this time she didn't come by herself, Crown Princess Chang and Princess Qin came together.

Xu Qingqing greeted them with a smile.

Qin Wangfei hurriedly told Xu Qingqing in a low voice: "I don't know what's going on, it was the Crown Princess who pulled me here."

Xu Qingqing nodded and told her to just watch the show.

Xu Qingqing then led them to the main hall.

Jin Wangfei Xie walked with the Crown Princess' arm, holding her head high, she was full of momentum, but after entering the main hall, she and the Crown Princess were stunned at the same time.

Xu Qingqing then followed into the door and said to them: "My father and fifth younger brother happen to be there too."

Xu Da immediately saluted the Crown Princess, Princess Qin and Princess Jin.

Wu Wang Zhu Wei smiled and greeted the sister-in-laws, "The sister-in-laws are very lively, if I knew I would call my eldest brother!"

"Who is Ben Gong?" As soon as the words fell, Prince Zhu Biao followed into the door.

Seeing that Zhu Biao had also come, Chang's face changed slightly, and he was stunned again.

Mrs. Xie was also very surprised, why is it so lively here today?

The author has something to say: My schedule, when will it not collapse, I am in the late stage of procrastination every day~ But my friend just said today that he admires my daily update of [-], so I am still amazing!
