Empress and concubine

In the morning of the next day, Chu Yao always felt short of breath, as if her chest was being overwhelmed by something, so she pushed in a daze, and couldn't move after a few pushes, but instead heard a familiar laughter, Chu Yao It felt like a pot of cold water had been poured, and he woke up immediately. He opened his eyes and saw that it wasn't Zhao Yi, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you so impatient to see me so early in the morning, as if you were frightened by me?" Zhao Yi became playful, and wanted to tease Chu Yao.

"No," Chu Yao hurriedly blushed, and explained, "I just forgot that we slept together yesterday, and I heard you laughing just now. I thought I was late," Chu Yao said, and saw Zhao Yi Looking at himself with a smile, he came to his senses, only gave Zhao Yi a few light hammers with his hand, and said angrily, "You will definitely bully me."

Seeing that she was annoyed, Zhao Yi hugged her into her arms, "How could I be willing to bully you, I just teased you when I saw that you had an interesting reaction." Seeing that Chu Yao was about to be annoyed again, Zhao Yi hurriedly changed the subject, "It's time to get up and wash up. You have to meet the people in the backyard today."

It was only then that Chu Yao showed great mercy. She didn't care about what she said just now, and just gave Zhao Yi a sideways glance, but it was three points of spring and six points of aura, just like the cat's paw, which scratched Zhao Yi's heart in a neither salty nor light way. It didn't hurt or itch, but it was so seductive that Zhao Yi twisted Chu Yao's waist, "What a little fairy."

"Ouch," Chu Yao just lifted the quilt and wanted to get up. Seeing that she had changed into another set of obscene clothes, she remembered that after worshiping heaven and earth last night, the two of them took a bath together. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yi came here suddenly .Chu Yao was already ticklish, but this time, her body became weaker and she fell on the bed, "You, you..."

Chu Yao pointed at Zhao Yi, not knowing whether to be angry or to laugh, so she snorted and ignored it, and then saw the box next to the pillow before going to bed last night, she took it over and opened it with a heartbeat, Inside were two bundles of hair tied together with a piece of red silk, which was neatly arranged, and the end of the hair was tied with a red wreath, with a red coral bead falling underneath.

When Zhao Yi saw it, she also came over, "You have to keep this one carefully. Others say that 'we are husband and wife, and there is no doubt about our love'. Although we are husband and wife, we don't need to be fooled by others."

Chu Yao glanced sideways at Zhao Yi, then looked at the hair in her hand, and then said, "I'll be free in a few days, I'll use this to weave a concentric knot and put it away, how about it?"

"Concentric Knot?" Zhao Yi read it again, with smiles on the corners of his eyes and brows, "Bai Shou Concentric, that's good, I just need to trouble Madam."

"Why am I my wife, aren't you also my wife?" Chu Yao liked it in her heart, pretending to refute it on her face, and carefully put the hair bundle back into the box with her hands, and then put it into the dressing table cabinet and locked it.

"Yes, yes, you are my wife, and I am your wife," Zhao Yi responded, but suddenly frowned and thought about something, muttering unconsciously, and waited until Chu Yao locked the cabinet again before clapping her hands He smiled and said, "Why don't you call me Mrs., I'll call you Mrs. Mrs. is more strict, but Mrs. is closer, just like husband and wife inside and outside, like you and me." Zhao Yi looked at Chu Yao, "Mrs. , I don't know what you want?"

Chu Yao stood up and bowed to Zhao Yi again, "Since Madam has said so, I will naturally listen to Madam."

Zhao Yi and Chu Yao looked at each other and smiled, but they stopped talking, and then heard someone knock on the door a few times, followed by Zi Yan's voice, "Princess, side concubine, it's getting late."

Only then did the two come back to their senses, Chu Yao looked away, and said, "Come in."

"Yes," Zi Yan agreed, then opened the door and brought in two teams of maidservants, one serving Zhao Yi and the other serving Chu Yao.

When Zi Yan came in, she saw Zhao Yi and Chu Yao standing on the ground with their shoes on, and said, "I thought the concubine and concubine hadn't gotten up yet, so I led the people to wait outside, who knew you two were silent Yes, don't call us."

"I just called you, so how can I whisper?" Zhao Yi asked the maids to help her change her clothes. When it was time to tie her belt, Chu Yao just finished wearing her clothes, so she went to wash her face first, and then twisted her handkerchief. Handed it to Zhao Yi, waved away the maids, and kicked Zhao Yi to tidy up.

Zhao Yi handed the handkerchief to the servant girl, enjoyed it quite a bit, and said, "Just ask them to do these things. You are a side concubine, so you should ask them to serve you."

"You like it in your heart, but you still want to use people as rafts." Chu Yao tidied up Zhao Yi's clothes, made a final inspection, and then said, "I'm going to make up, and see who will serve who."

Seeing Zhao Yi, she only pulled Chu Yao back and straightened the clothes on her shoulders, "Let's go together."

After hearing this, Chu Yao nodded in satisfaction.In front of the dressing table, the witty servant girl had already set up two stools. Zhao Yi and Chuyao sat down on the left and the right, and the lady who combed her hair and Yi Niang came forward.

When Zhao Yi saw her, she said, "Let's ask Yi Niang to do it for me today, and you can do it for your side concubine, the hair combing lady, and let her see your handiwork." Seeing that the hair combing lady and Yi Niang both agreed, Then he said, "today is her day, let's comb her a nice one, so that no one can take it lightly."

"With my sister here, who else can see me clearly?" Chu Yao smiled and said to the lady who combed her hair, "It doesn't need to be too complicated, just a little more solemn than usual."

The lady who combed her hair thought for a while, "Why don't you wear a cross bun? The side concubine is not very old, and it is most unsuitable for such an old-fashioned hair style. If you wear more wigs and press your head again, when you get older in the future, you will not be able to wear it." beautiful."

Hearing that the hair-combing lady said to wear a cross bun, Zhao Yi and Chu Yao couldn't help but look at each other, both of them were full of smiles, Zi Yan probably knew something, and seeing this situation, she blinked at Chu Yao, "Cross bun is good, cross bun is good , it would be even better if you can order a forehead yellow."

Chu Yao only acted as if she didn't hear it, but Zhao Yi gave Zi Yan a nonchalant look, told her to calm down immediately, and then ordered, "Then let's do a cross bun. You don't need to use any forehead, just choose a black hair." Decorate in Huasheng."

"The lotus root pink clothes worn by the concubine today, why don't you choose coral hair?" The lady who combed her hair gave Zi Yan a wink, and then started to tidy up for Chu Yao, because she had just put on magnolia flower hair oil, at this time It's much more convenient.

Yi Niang also often came to the palace with her. She was scared by the Zhao family's guards at home last time, so she didn't dare to joke with Zhao Yi. The peony pinched with gold silk is worn, and the peony stamen hangs down with garnets to the temples, which looks very gorgeous. On the top, two leaf-shaped gold hairpins are inserted obliquely, corresponding to the peony.

The lady combing her hair combed a cross bun for Chu Yao. First, she chose a hair comb with emerald flowers and grass patterns, and inserted it between her hair to fix it. A bunch of red coral Huasheng.That's how it's done.

Zhao Yi saw it, but she was a little dissatisfied, and put a string of tassels on each of the pink jade lily of the valley hairpin to make it better, "It's still too dull."

Chu Yao said, "I like it. I'm not at that age. Why do I have to dress up? What's more, in the eyes of others, I rely on you, my sister. That's why I'm at this moment. Dressing up like this is more suitable for them." What do you mean?"

"That's right," Zhao Yi said with a smile, "but I forgot that you just celebrated your fifteenth birthday." Then she looked at the lady who combed her hair, "Thinking of what I can't think of, I deserve it."

After Zhao Yi said that, a maid came to reward her, Chu Yao smiled, "Since that's the case, I should reward her too."

After hearing this, Jin Yi also stepped forward and gave the hair-combing lady a purse, and the hair-combing lady took it all, only to hear a maid outside come in to report that Xu Yushi and Qian Gongren Zheng Gong had arrived.

Zhao Yi and Chu Yao went to the main hall together, and Zhao Yi told Chu Yao about the Zheng Palace man.It turned out that the man from Gong Zheng was served by the prince's side in the early years. Later, he gave birth to a well-shaped male fetus because of the secret in the inner house, and his body collapsed.Later Zhao Yi married into the palace and never treated her badly, but she was discouraged and chanted scriptures in the small Buddhist hall every day and didn't go out easily. I don't know how many people in the palace have never seen her.I got sick again this spring, but it just dragged on.

Chu Yao was about to ask a few more questions, when she met Xia Yunjing at the door, and saluted with Zhao Yi, calling her the prince Changle.

Xia Yunjing helped one up with one hand, and seeing the two dressed up again, the smiles on their faces grew stronger, "You used to call sisters, but now you are really sisters, and it's good to be together," and then said, " Today's outfits are not bad, one is graceful and luxurious, the other is graceful and pure, it really complements each other."

"I also said that Yao'er's dress is too dull, but you like it, my lord," Zhao Yi laughed first.

Hearing this, Xia Yunjing said, "Yao'er is not very old, why do you dress so luxuriously? When we are at home, we naturally do as we like. What's more, Yao'er's dress has never lost his etiquette. He only goes out as a guest. I want you to be a princess. Take a second look."

"My lord should help me," Chu Yao held Xia Yunjing on the other side, and acted like a baby to Zhao Yi, "I will follow my sister on the fifteenth day of this month."

"It's really a ghost," Zhao Yi said angrily, "Let's go to the temple on the fifteenth day, so naturally we should be more clean, that's all, now that you have the support of the prince, I can't control you anymore."

Hearing this, Chu Yao hurriedly begged for mercy, and said something wrong, and Xia Yunjing assisted again.Zhao Yi didn't really blame her at all, so she put on airs for a while, so that's all.Thinking that Master Attendant Xu and the others had to wait impatiently, he reminded them a few times, and they all went in together.

Because of Xia Yunjing's presence, Qian Gong and Zheng Gong didn't speak much, even Xu Yushi only praised him.Chu Yao respected Zhao Yi for a cup of tea, and then sat next to Zhao Yi at the head, making Xu Yushi Qian Gong and the others a little jealous, but they couldn't say anything. Xia Yunjing was extremely satisfied with the meeting gift that seemed to be given to him with a full air of demeanor.

After a few people had breakfast together, Xia Yunjing gave a few instructions, and then went to the barracks. After this trip, he would not be able to return for ten or eight days.
