pear blossoms fall to the end of the night

After the death of Emperor Deqing, there were only two concubines left in the harem, one was the current Empress Dowager, and the other was Zhaohua's biological mother, Concubine Jingwen.

Empress Zhaohua's attitude towards the two elders is also very subtle. Although Zhaohua was raised under her knees when Empress Hui was still the imperial concubine Huixian, Zhaohua also respected and loved her adoptive mother. One was sent to Empress Hui, but when Zhaohua looked at Empress Hui, there was no warmth in his eyes, as if the relationship between the two was just respectful. Not too much, not too little, Zhaohua did not have the intimacy of a daughter to a mother to her.

What makes the courtiers worry is that Concubine Jingwen is gentle and kind by nature. In the past few years of Zhaohua's reign, she has never had any conflicts with Empress Hui. On the contrary... Concubine Jingwen is very tolerant and respectful to Empress Hui. Jingwen's magnanimity and virtuousness also have a good reputation in the court.

Along the way, Wei Young was very curious about the imperial palace. She is the daughter of a petty official, and she never thought that she could go to the most honorable place in the entire capital and meet the most honorable people.

"Sir, what does the Empress Dowager look like? And Concubine Jingwen, by the way, do you think the emperor will come? When I listened to the play, the play said that accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger, and will ask for someone at every turn." Head, is it true?" After finishing speaking, Wei Young subconsciously covered her neck, as if her head would roll off her neck in the next second.

Jing Li laughed, "Don't you know later?"

Wei Young took Jing Li's hand and said coquettishly, "Just tell me."

Jing Li enjoyed the posture of a young girl like Wei Young, and she smiled even more, "Okay, let me tell you, the emperor is very majestic in the court, but the emperor is also an ordinary person, and he will not cut off people's heads for fun. So you don't need to be nervous, you are my wife, even if you say or do wrong things, I will naturally be with you, as for the queen mother and concubine, they are the same as your mother, as long as Wei Young is obedient, they will not embarrass you."

Wei Young nodded thoughtfully, and decided to talk less later and eat more snacks. Hearing that the dim sum in the palace is very good, she hugged her husband's thigh tightly.

……

"The minister and his wife have met the empress dowager, the empress dowager."

"My concubine, Ye Weiyang, has met the empress dowager, the empress dowager."

Queen Hui, who was sitting on the phoenix chair, nodded with a smile, "Quickly flatten your body. Come here, give me your seat."

Concubine Jingwen also looked at Jingli and Weiyang with a friendly smile, "Earlier I heard that Ziyuan invited a flower fairy to be a matchmaker and married a good wife, but now I see that the rumors are true, she is a beautiful child."

Wei Young blushed when she got the compliment, "Toffee is absurd."

Jing Li looked at his little lady with a gentle face.

"Ziyuan has dragged on for so long and refused to marry a wife. Ai's family had acted as a matchmaker for him earlier. Now it seems that he is really destined, and it is really different from before." Huihou smiled, her whole body was full of nobles. Pai, the eyebrows are also a bit more majestic than Concubine Jingwen.

Jing Li replied: "It is the minister who failed the empress dowager's kindness."

"You child... By the way, the Imperial Dining Room made some pine nut lily cakes today. They are very refreshing and fragrant. Serve them to Xiangye and his wife to taste."

The maid named Qin Xiang went away in response, Jing Li felt that Wei Young's eyes lit up when she heard that there was food.

Hui Hou looked at Wei Young and said: "Zi Yuan is Ai's nephew, this room is a family, so don't be restrained."

Concubine Jingwen also added: "Yes, my sister and I are the only ones in this palace now, if Wei Young doesn't think we two old ladies are bothersome, we should come to the palace more often."

After taking a bite of pastries, Wei Young quickly waved her hands, "How could it be that Wei Young is idle at home, thanks to the empress dowager and concubine for not giving up, this is Wei Young's blessing."

Don't forget to send a big smile when you finish speaking.

Wei Young's actions made Concubine Jing Wen laugh, "When Wei Young comes, the concubines feel much younger, right sister?"

Hui Hou nodded lightly, "Yes, Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, Aijia and younger sister also like this child Weiyang, Ziyuan can't bear to miss Madam."

"The empress dowager and concubine love her nephew, it's her blessing, how dare Ziyuan refuse to follow her."

Just as Jing Li finished speaking, a voice rang out from outside the door, "The empress mother and concubine have taken a fancy to Ziyuan's daughter-in-law, and they are complaining about me."

Before the person arrived, the sound came first, and a pair of shoes embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon stepped in.

"See Queen Mother, Toffee."

"You child, why didn't you notify me when you came here, but you listened to the corner first." Huihou scolded Zhaohua, but her face was full of smiles, but to everyone's surprise, Zhaohua behind Zhaohua unexpectedly Following Ouyang Feishuang, Ouyang Feishuang was dressed in a red costume, and the eunuch on the glamorous side hurriedly moved the seat for Zhaohua as usual.

Jing Li hurriedly brought Wei Young to salute again.

The corner of Zhaohua's mouth was smiling, and his hair wasn't overdressed. If it wasn't for the dragon robe that showed his identity, Wei Young would almost think that she was just a young lady raised by some family.

After Ouyang Feishuang bowed to the queen mother and concubine, she bowed to Jing Li again, "See Mr. Xiang, madam."

Jing Li looked at Ouyang Feishuang, there was no unnecessary expression on his face, he just nodded lightly, Wei Yang remembered that he was Mrs. Xiangye, her rank was higher than Ouyang Feishuang, and she was humiliated by her before , It really shouldn't be.

"Aiqing, you don't need to be polite. I just heard that the queen mother and the concubine are going to abduct your wife, so I came here to save you." After speaking, he glanced at Ouyang Feishuang again, "I met Miss Ouyang on the way to visit the queen mother, so we came together .”

Jing Li didn't speak, Wei Young obviously still remembered the grudge, and didn't take the initiative to talk to Ouyang Feishuang.

"This is Miss Ye who Ziyuan asked me to marry me back then, oh, it should be Madam Jing now. I heard that Madam Jing and Miss Ouyang are friends with handkerchiefs, and they have a good personal relationship?"

Without waiting for Wei Young to answer, Ouyang Feishuang said: "Your Majesty handles state affairs in the palace, so I don't know anything. The rumors in the market outside are the most powerful. White people can be said to be black."

The tone was full of contempt, obviously trying to distance itself from Wei Young.

"Miss Ouyang is right, the rumors in the market cannot be trusted." Jing Li glanced at Ouyang Feishuang meaningfully, with some teasing in her eyes.

Ouyang Feishuang didn't hear Jing Li's sarcasm. If you want to talk about the rumors in the market, isn't Miss Ouyang the most popular word of mouth among the people, she is unparalleled in the world.

Ouyang Feishuang didn't recall it, and neither did Weiyang, but Princess Jingwen and the others understood it. Zhaohua squinted his eyes and looked at Jingli who was sipping tea leisurely. He was a little shocked in his heart. In her eyes, Jing Li is such a deserted person, even though she is always smiling, but Jing Li is willing to blatantly satirize Ouyang Feishuang for Ye Weiyang, which shows that Ye Weiyang has a place in Jingli's heart.

Concubine Jingwen saw that the atmosphere was a bit weird, so she quickly changed the topic to Wei Young, and softly asked Wei Young about her age, how many people were in her family, and what fun things happened when she was a child, and then asked how Princess Fan Qing was doing recently and whether she was in good health. so wait.

It was already afternoon when we came out of the Shoukang Palace where the Empress Dowager lived. Although Wei Young ate a lot of snacks during the period, she still felt hungry and urged Jing Li to go home for dinner as soon as she went out.

"Master Jing, please wait a moment." Ouyang Feishuang, who was chasing from behind, stopped Jing Li.

Jing Li turned around, asking with a cold look in his eyes.

Ouyang Feishuang didn't check, and said, "Mr. Jing, can I talk to you alone?"

Jing Li frowned, and remembered the scene where Chu Huairou wanted to talk to her last time, she hated women crying so much, and when she was about to say no, Wei Young was not happy.

"He is my husband-in-law, I don't agree."

Ouyang Feishuang glared at Wei Young, "I'm asking Prime Minister Jing."

Jing Li looked at Wei Young's jealous look, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, "What the lady means is what I mean."

Ouyang Feishuang gritted her teeth and stomped her feet angrily, "Okay, I'll just say here, Prime Minister Jing, I'll ask you, why did you marry Ye Weiyang, she is not worthy of you at all, in terms of beauty, I am more beautiful than her." More than a thousand times more beautiful, in terms of family background, my father is the Minister of the Household Department, I have liked you for so long, why did you marry her?"

Even in front of Wei Young, Ouyang Feishuang spoke very bluntly. Not only Wei Young was embarrassed by such straightforwardness, but even Jing Li frowned.

"Since you want to know the answer so much, I'll tell you." Jing Li was no longer as gentle as before, "My mother is a princess and I am the prime minister. Who do you think has a better family background than me? Why do I need to marry someone from a better family background?" And... You said that my wife is not as beautiful as you, not worthy of me, so, do you think you can match me? With all due respect, Miss Ouyang, no matter how long you look at the bustling flowers, I It just feels tacky."

The same child who grew up pampered, Weiyang is innocent and kind, but Ouyang Feishuang is very domineering, and Jing Li has always protected her weaknesses, so she doesn't give Ouyang Feishuang any face at all.

Ouyang Feishuang was so angry at Jing Li's words that she burst into tears, Jing Li didn't take another look at the other party, and pulled Wei Young, ready to leave.

Although Jing Li vented her anger for herself, Wei Yang felt that Ouyang Feishuang was a little pitiful. She took two steps, turned around, and said hesitantly: "Feishuang...Miss Ouyang, you insulted me before, now we It's evened out, I am very grateful for your previous friendship, you...you can do it yourself."

Jing Li looked at Wei Young in surprise, but she didn't expect the little girl to be quite decisive, handling these matters without delay.

The author has something to say: Ouyang Feishuang: I am more beautiful than you, my waist is thinner than yours, and my legs are longer than yours

Wei Young: I have a husband.

Ouyang Feishuang: My father is Shangshu, my uncle is Da Sinong, and my whole family are officials.

Wei Young: My husband is the prime minister

Ouyang Feishuang: ...
