Fake concubine, real queen

Lan Shu was walking around in a hurry at the door of the bedroom, neither knocking nor not knocking, and she couldn't be at the door at the moment, shouting "My son-in-law, come out quickly".

She also had to wait anxiously at the door of the room, for fear that the next moment, the son-in-law would be thrown out by the third highness.

But when she thought about it carefully, she seemed to have nothing to worry about. After all, the Third Highness and the Prince Consort are both men. Although they are now husband and wife in name, two men are two men, no matter what happens, nothing serious will happen. , It's not like a lonely man and a widow living in the same room. If one is not good, the belly will become big and it will be difficult to clean up.

At most, the two of them would fight.

Thinking about it this way, Lan Shu was not in such a hurry anymore, but instead wondered which one would win if there was a real fight between the son-in-law and the third highness.

Although others don't know about it, Lan Shu knows that His Royal Highness has also practiced martial arts since childhood and has extraordinary martial arts skills. If she were to compare with others, she would bet on His Royal Highness to win without even thinking about it. However, when choosing a consort that day, He Xiaohou The cruel performance of the master really left a deep impression on Lan Shu——

It's really impossible not to stay, the big brother of the Wei family who has followed His Majesty for many years, what kind of skill is that?

He was beaten up by Lord He Xiaohou that day, and it was only a few days ago that he was able to get off the couch.

Although the bruises lasted a hundred days, it was obviously enough to show how ruthless He Gu was, no matter whether he was intentional or not.

...Fortunately, the son-in-law doesn't know His Highness's real identity at the moment, and he seems to like His Highness quite a bit. Even if they fight, the attack shouldn't be so heavy, right?

Lan Shu thought.

Lan Shu's worries are actually superfluous.

He Gu in the room was lying in front of the beauty's couch, his dishonest index finger was getting closer and closer to the eldest princess's lips, and his heartbeat was getting faster and faster. Finally, he couldn't help holding his breath, for fear that the eldest princess would be here. Wake up in a moment.

However, it does not.

Master He Xiaohou's index finger actually got his wish, and touched the two thin pale lips of the eldest princess.

The temperature of the eldest princess' lips is also slightly cool, just like her hands.

He Gu has never felt that the pulp of his index finger has such a sensitive sense of touch——

The lips of the eldest princess under her fingertips are cool, and the touch is far from her usual reticent and indifferent appearance, delicate and soft.

He Gu's heartbeat couldn't be faster, but when his fingertips touched the eldest princess's lips, the eldest princess suddenly opened her eyes in less than a breath.

She grabbed He Gu's rape hand with her left hand, raised her right hand and grabbed his shoulder blade suddenly, pulled He Gu with all her strength, rolled her whole body onto the beauty couch, and was pressed tightly by him under.

If it was someone else, it would definitely be impossible to hold He Gu like this, but at this very moment, he was just wandering and dreaming, and as soon as he got close to the eldest princess, his whole body became half brittle, and his strength was as strong as the one he was holding in his hand. Like quicksand, it disperses without knowing it.

Although he still instinctively wanted to fight back, but just before he was about to strike, he suddenly remembered that this was His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess and his sister Yu'er, so he had to stop abruptly, lest he might lose sight of it. Will it hurt her lightly or seriously.

But when He Gu was pulled down by her and pressed on the beauty's couch, he suddenly realized that the Eldest Princess obviously had martial arts in her body, and it wasn't bad.

For martial arts practitioners, the rhythm of breathing, the weight of walking, and the movement of hands and feet are all completely different from ordinary people, but before this, He Gu didn't realize that the eldest princess knew martial arts at all.

Not only has she been covering it up, but she has also covered it up seamlessly. If it wasn't for today, she would have managed to hide it from an expert like He Gu.

The eldest princess is obviously on weekdays when she is asleep, she is instinctively wary of others approaching her. This set of tricks is smooth and smooth. I really don't know why she is so uneasy even sleeping?

He Gu didn't mind that the eldest princess kept it from him. After all, he hadn't asked about her martial arts practice. He just looked at the expression in the eldest princess's eyes, but it was not very good.

She had already taken off the phoenix crown, and only wore a simple bun. After some movements just now, the bun might not be very secure, but it suddenly fell apart.

The eldest princess's satin-like hair was loose, not only did she not look embarrassed, but it even made her look cold and lofty.

After a fight, it only took a few breaths. Pei Zhaoheng's breathing was slightly rapid. Then he took a closer look and found that this sneaky person who appeared in front of his bed for no reason was actually He Gu. He couldn't help being startled, and said Said: "You...how are you?"

Maybe it was because she just woke up, her voice was slightly hoarse, very different from usual, it sounded in He Xiaohouye's ear, but it reminded him of something, He Gu's handsome face was slightly flushed, She whispered: "Sister, have you forgotten... Today is the day we get married... Who else could it be if it's not me?"

Pei Zhaoheng: "..."

Makes sense.

He let go of He Gu's hand, sat up, looked at him and said indifferently: "What did you want to do just now?"

He Gu choked, and said: "Sister Yu'er, you...you haven't wiped off your lip blush. I saw you fell asleep, and couldn't bear to wake you up, so I wanted to wipe it off for you."

Although he listened to the reasoning, he always felt weird, but Pei Zhaoheng didn't realize what was wrong for a while, so he was silent for a while, and said: "Thank you."

He Gu smiled, scratched the back of his head, and said, "Well, since sister is awake, shall we..."

He turned his eyes, looked at the pot of wine on the table of the Eight Immortals in the bedroom, swallowed, and said, "...is it time to drink the wine?"

Pei Zhaoheng: "..."

What happened today shouldn't have happened, as long as Lan Shu watched the door, there would be no troubles like this, but Lan Shu didn't watch the door, and let He Gu in.

It would be inconvenient to tell He Gu his identity for a while. Firstly, he didn't know whether He Gu was a trustworthy person who could keep a secret. Second, once his true identity was revealed to the world, it would have a lot of implications.

When he was in the world, it was definitely not just about him and his mother and queen, even the monarch and father who protected him would definitely suffer from the advice of all officials, and there would be endless troubles.

And once the mother's illness is known to all the officials, it will be a trivial matter whether the successor can't keep it. What's more, she will probably be asked by the courtiers to keep her away from the emperor's side on the grounds that the concubine is insane. , not to mention she is crazy?

Asking the queen mother to leave the father's side... This is killing her.

Pei Zhaoheng closed his eyes.

Right now, I can only appease He Gu first. If I can be sure that he is a trustworthy person in the future, I will find another opportunity to tell him.

However, He Gu didn't know how the person opposite him was going through all kinds of twists and turns in his mind. He had already got up, walked to the Eight Immortals' table, carefully poured two glasses of wine, and happily brought them back to the Eldest Princess——

Although he just decided not to wake up Sister Yuer if she fell asleep, but today is their wedding night, regardless of other things, he is naturally looking forward to it, and drinking this cup with her is very meaningful It is suitable for wine.

The eldest princess seemed to hesitate for a while, not knowing what to think, but in the end, she still took the small wine glass that He Gu handed over.

He Gu sat on the side of the couch and approached the eldest princess. He raised his eyes to look at the eldest princess, but saw that she lowered her eyes and looked shy, and couldn't help but smile slightly in her heart——

No matter how cold-tempered Sister Yu'er is, she is still her daughter's family after all, and she always has a shy side, and now he has finally seen it.

Only he can see this appearance, and the men next to him will definitely have no chance to catch a glimpse.

He Gu couldn't help feeling more and more happy in his heart, and when the two of them leaned closer and drank this cup of wine, He Gu was finally satisfied.

Today there was no Xi Po by my side, and when they finished drinking the good wine and said auspicious words, He Gu didn't feel regretful, so he opened his mouth to make up for Xi Po's work, saying: "Sister Yu'er, after drinking this Drink a glass of wine, in the future, you and I will be one body, sharing weal and woe, and sharing weal and woe. In this life, I will never let go of your hand, and I will never let you suffer any grievances or let others bully you. Be determined."

"Let's grow old together and raise our eyebrows together, okay?"

Under the warm yellow and blurred light, the face of the originally handsome and well-defined boy's face became a bit blurred, making him look more and more tender, but his eyes were as bright as stars, and Pei Zhaoheng's heartbeat suddenly stopped for no reason. for a moment.

Pei Zhaoheng was silent for a while, then said, "Yes."

He Gu smiled after hearing her response, he seemed to think of something again, fumbled from his sleeve, took out a small pouch for a long time, and handed it to the Eldest Princess.

He Gudao: "This pouch contains a talisman. Give it to Sister Yu'er, and ask it to be by my sister's side all the time, to bless my sister, to be safe, happy, and successful all my life."

What He Gu said came from the bottom of his heart. In the ten days and nights before the wedding, He Gu couldn't sleep more than once in the middle of the night, got up and looked at the moon, and made a wish sincerely——

If Guanghan really has a fairy who can fulfill the wishes of ordinary people, he only hopes that his highness the princess will marry him, marry the wrong person, and live a happy and smooth life.

The eldest princess took the purse, looked down, and saw a pair of mandarin ducks playing in water embroidered on the purse, very cute.

When He Gu chose this purse, he only thought it would be a good intention for mandarin ducks to come in pairs, but now that he gave it to the eldest princess, he suddenly realized that giving someone a bauble with such a pattern in the bridal chamber is really meaningful.

His face turned red involuntarily. He was full of confidence and confidence, but he was caught off guard so suddenly. His fair and handsome face was as red as warm jade, and the cinnabar auspicious mole on the center of his eyebrows was even more lovely. stand up.

He Gu stammered: "I... I, I, I, I just gave something away, there is no other meaning, sister, don't think too much about it, I... I will definitely not touch you today."

After saying that, as if to prove that he was really an upright gentleman, he suddenly stood up, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "I'll go to sleep in the main room next door, sister Yu'er should rest early too!"

Turn around and make a gesture to leave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, He Gu's hand was grabbed by someone.

The eldest princess's voice was a little low, she seemed a little helpless, and said: "Today...you don't have to go, it's getting late, and Lan Shu has also rested, so the son-in-law can rest here."

Before He Gu came, he was already mentally prepared to ask the eldest princess to leave the house, but he never expected that now that he took the initiative to leave, the eldest princess would keep him.

Sister Yu'er is not completely heartless towards him, is she?

Although she didn't like the contact of men, she still kept herself, and would rather wrong herself than wrong him.

Thinking of this, He Gu couldn't help but feel a little sour.

He only looked back at her and said, "Then...then I'll sleep on the couch, sister go to sleep on the bed?"

Pei Zhaoheng said, "No need, these days it's hot during the day, but cold at night. If you sleep on the couch, it won't be good if you catch a cold."

When He Gu heard this, he felt even more touched in his heart. If it wasn't for the conditions, he really wanted to hug Sister Yu'er and kiss her immediately.

Pei Zhaoheng said: "You sleep inside, I can sleep outside."

Naturally, He Gu would respond to everything.

Both of them coincidentally planned to sleep with their clothes on, and neither of them was going to take off half of their clothes. Sleeping like this should be quite tiring, but He Gu didn't mind at all, and only cared about the horse and the deer bumping into each other.

He said, "Then I'll make the bed."

Then he walked quickly to the bed, touched the quilt, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment——

No wonder Sister Yu'er was tired and didn't rest on the bed. The quilt was stuffed full of red dates, peanuts, longan, and lotus seeds. Let alone lying down, even sitting down made her feel disgusted.

Although everyone is well aware that after this son-in-law and the eldest princess get married, he may not even meet a hair of the eldest princess, but a wedding ceremony is a wedding ceremony, and no matter whether it is useful or not, good intentions must be paid. foot.

Otherwise, the queen empress will be the first one who can't agree, right?

He Gu knew in his heart that these things meant that the couple would have a baby early, so they didn't dare to look sideways at the eldest princess, so they just blushed and dusted all these things under the bed, and they were going to ask someone to clean them up at dawn.

After tidying up, I didn't think to ask why the Eldest Princess asked him to sleep in it. He just obeyed and took off his boots and climbed in. Then he turned to look at the Eldest Princess, patted the bed beside him with bright eyes, and said, "Sister Rest too."

The eldest princess gave a "hmm", and she was indeed beside him, lying down on her side with her back to him.

He Gu saw her wedding dress with a rather high neckline. It was the first time he had seen such a wedding dress. Although the eldest princess had a slender and beautiful neck, she looked even better in a high-necked dress, but it was still in June after all. God, it's so hot, it's really hard for her.

He intentionally reminded Sister Yu'er that if it was really hot, it would be okay to unbutton the neckline a little bit, and he wouldn't be so animalistic because of this.

But after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't know how to speak. Instead, after lying down, the tiredness and drowsiness from the day's torment surged up, and He Gu fell into a deep sleep before he even had time to be distracted for a long time.

A night without dreams.

When I woke up the next day, it was already high in the sun.

He Gu touched around in a daze, only to find that the place was already empty, and Sister Yu'er was gone——

Immediately jumped up from the bed, hurriedly climbed to the bedside to put on shoes and socks, looked around the whole wedding room, but still couldn't find the eldest princess.

He was about to go out, but a servant girl's obedient voice came from outside the door, saying: "Is the son-in-law awake?"

He Gu was stunned for a moment, but didn't answer.

"If you wake up, the servants will come in and wait for the master to change and wash. Master, are you awake?"

He Gu walked to the door and opened it. There was a big servant girl standing by the door, followed by a group of servants, some were carrying water basins, some were holding clothes. A group of people had obviously been waiting here for a long time, waiting for him Woke up in the house.

He Gu looked at the maid and said, "Are you...?"

The leading maid leaned over and bowed softly, and said softly: "The servant girl is Lan Xiao who came out with the eldest princess together with sister Lan Shu in the palace. In the future, sister Lan Shu will take care of His Royal Highness's daily life and food, and the servant girl will serve the Lord." gone."

He Gu inexplicably sensed something weird about her, but he didn't think too much about it, he just asked, "Where's Your Highness?"

Lan Xiao said: "If you come back to the Lord, His Highness got up early. His Highness has the habit of getting up and practicing sword every morning when he is in the palace. He should have gone now."

He Gu was about to walk out the door, and said, "I'll go find her."

But was stopped by Lan Xiao, said: "Master, since you want to find His Highness, you should change your clothes and go after packing up."

He Gu was stunned for a moment, and said that he really lost his head. He has slept like a chicken coop all night with his hair, and he is still wearing a wedding dress. .

He said: "Put the washbasin and clothes in the room, I can do it myself."

Although the Marquis of Changyang is also a lord's family, there is no shortage of maids and servants to serve him, but the grandfather of the He family also joined the army and made his fortune through military service.

For a general family, raising children is not like ordinary high-ranking families. They are pampered and pampered, surrounded by servants and maidservants all day long, fearing that their children and grandchildren will get too much fat and make them too effeminate. The knife, then the inheritance will be broken.

Therefore, apart from He Rong, the He family is a young lady after all, and there are more maids and servants in the courtyard.

And whether it's He Gu or He Cheng, there are servants serving in the courtyard, not a maidservant.

Right now, the group of maidservants at the door are all about the same age as fifteen or sixteen years old, and several of them are of good color. According to Lan Xiao, so many girls have to watch him change clothes and wash. Where has Master He Xiaohou seen this before? Like a battle, he immediately refused.

Lan Xiao looked distressed, and said: "This... If the master thinks there are too many people, how about just a servant and two maids to serve?"

He Gu finally knew what was wrong.

This Lan Xiao, every time he called him "Master", the ending sound was so dizzy that it made one's scalp tingle. He frowned and said, "If I say no, I don't need it. Bring in the washbasin and leave your clothes behind. Go yourself."

The servants looked at each other, and Lan Xiao had no choice but to agree.

He Gu closed the door, quickly changed his clothes, finished washing, opened the door and wanted to find the eldest princess, but Lan Xiao was still waiting at the door.

All the other maidservants left, and she was the only one left.

He Gu said: "Why are you still here?"

Lan Xiao said softly: "Master, aren't you going to find Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess? I just came to this princess mansion and I don't think I know the way. Should I take you there?"

He Gu was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, he really didn't know where Sister Yu'er was practicing swordsmanship, so he said, "Okay, then you lead the way."

He said again in his heart, he didn't know where this guy Zhengye went, could he still be awake?

He Gu knew for a long time that the Princess Mansion was built very large, but it was only at this moment that he intuitively felt how big it was. He followed Lan Xiao through the rockery corridor, through the colorful garden, and through one arch after another. After walking for an unknown amount of time, I finally saw a vast school field in front of me.

Lan Xiao said: "Master, this is here."

He Gu let out a "hmm" and was about to pass by, but stopped, turned his head and glanced at her, and suddenly said, "Don't call me master from now on."

Lan Xiao was taken aback, and said, "Ah? Then, then... what should I do with the servant..."

He Gu said coldly: "You can be called a son-in-law, or you can be called a son-in-law, but you can't call him a single word, do you understand?"

Although there were only a few short encounters, he was too familiar with the scent of Lan Xiao——

A smell of Wan Shu'er.

Lan Xiao didn't know why he had a sudden cold face, but felt flustered.

It is true that she has known for a long time that the princess and the son-in-law must have a bad relationship, and His Majesty has also allowed the son-in-law to take a concubine. She was originally an ordinary first-class court lady, and she could be released from the palace after two years, but this time she was arranged again. When she came to the princess mansion, she got the job of serving the son-in-law personally. Instead of giving this opportunity to others, she got the moon first, why didn't she take advantage of it?

Not to mention your Majesty's benevolence, the princess doesn't like concubines, and she is not an ordinary woman who would be jealous of concubines. After she becomes the concubine of the concubine, she will probably not be treated harshly, but will be able to live a life of luxury.

Even with the appearance and character of the son-in-law, countless officials and ladies in the capital are concerned about her, so she is naturally not immune to the vulgarity, and her heart flutters when she meets her.

It's just that I never expected that the son-in-law, who usually seems to be a rough and careless person, now seems to see through her thoughts at a glance, and is still so sarcastic to each other, almost telling her to calm down .

The son-in-law is too sharp-eyed, and he doesn't understand the style...

But in the end, her small thoughts were exposed, and even Lan Xiaodang felt ashamed, ashamed and indignant. Her two cherry lips were so tight that she couldn't speak a word, and her pretty face was instantly pale as paper.

But He Gu didn't give her another look, he just went into the school grounds to look for his eldest princess.

But on the school grounds, the eldest princess has already changed back to the usual plain red dress without any pattern, and it looks like a waist and narrow sleeves, which is obviously very convenient for sword practice.

At the end of the last pose, she carried the long sword behind her back with its tip up, and walked to the edge of the school grounds.

Pei Zhaoheng finished his sword practice all morning, but there was no trace of sweat on his face, and even his complexion didn't change a bit, his expression remained unchanged and his heartbeat remained unchanged.

It's as if he just went for a walk to enjoy the flowers, instead of practicing swords.

Seeing that he withdrew his sword, Lan Shu held the hilt in her arms, hurried forward with small steps, and offered the hilt respectfully.

Pei Zhaoheng's face was covered with the thin veil again, he took the hilt of the sword in Lan Shu's hand, and put the sword back into its sheath neatly.

Then, looking at the rising sun in the sky, he was suddenly stunned, not knowing what he was thinking.

Lan Shudao: "Your Highness, it's almost time to use the imperial food. Shall we go back?"

Pei Zhaoheng asked, "Where's He Zihuan?"

Lan Shu was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses, Zihuan seemed to be the son-in-law's name, and the third highness was asking about the son-in-law, and said: "If you go back to your highness, Lan Xiao has already gone to wait on you, but I don't know what is going on right now. Are you awake?"

She paused, thinking of something, she seemed hesitant to speak, but she never dared to speak out.

Pei Zhaoheng glanced at her lightly, and said, "Speak up if you have something to say."

Lan Shu choked up, thinking that every time he had something to say, he really couldn't hide it from His Highness, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty... I may be a bit superstitious in your words, but I don't know why Your Majesty chose Lan Xiao Serving at the side of the son-in-law, she was originally in Zhang Guiren's palace, so she is not a person of any duty...I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."

Pei Zhaoheng was silent for a while, and said, "What are you afraid of?"

Lan Shu paused, and said, "I'm afraid she won't be at peace with the son-in-law."

However, Pei Zhaoheng said indifferently: "If you are restless, be restless."

Lan Shu was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly recalled in her heart...

This... Lan Xiao, could it be that His Majesty and Third Highness deliberately arranged to be next to the son-in-law?

Also... If there is a beautiful concubine room, on the one hand, the son-in-law can have children normally and leave heirs for their He family;

Just as they were thinking about it, Master He Xiaohou's very excited cry came from far behind them——

"Yu-er-sister-sister--"

"You are here!"

Pei Zhaoheng: "..."

Lan Shu: "..."
