[Red Mansions] The Road to Empress Dowager

Xing Xiuyan put his hands on his chest, thinking completely illogically, and said, "You...kissed me just now."

"Zhen, it's not your uncle. Your habit of hugging your thighs needs to be corrected." His voice was mellow and determined.

"But if I hug my uncle's thigh, my uncle will treat me well."

"You still call me Uncle?" The phoenix eyes flashed brightly.

"Saint... saint?" She was coerced, her tongue began to tie up, she was very spineless, the pride and calmness of a modern woman facing an ancient emperor really existed in the novel.

But if you want to hold your life, death, wealth and honor alone, even your soul can't escape, there is no pride for modern people, and this person is someone she admires and has been close to for a hundred years.

Tu Yuanyi's phoenix eyes were imposing, and he had his own power. He ordered: "Be obedient and pass the ceremony, and learn basic etiquette from the female officials to prepare for the draft."

Xing Xiuyan flinched, thinking of a group of desire/seeking/dissatisfied women in the palace, would he want to fight in the future?What kind of cucumber is not shared with others? If it means that there is only one melon in the world, and you can’t get out after being locked up, then this melon is not the only belief?Tragedy, tragedy.

And she is still uncle/nephew/chaos/lun.

Xing Xiuyan thought about all these things, but on the other hand, she was worried about the food in the palace; also, what Xiao Yanzi said was right, she should take care of her knees.

But these problems can't be said to him now.

While she was thinking about it, her chin was suddenly lifted up, and his slender and experienced fingers swayed on her chin twice, her phoenix eyes shone with a faint color, her thin lips moved slightly, and she tilted her head.

Xing Xiuyan's body stiffened uncontrollably, her eyes widened, and she choked on her breath.

But when he felt that he was approaching, he opened his straight nose sideways, glanced at her eyes before covering her, and then aggressively bullied and pressed him down again.

Xing Xiuyan was overwhelmed by the faster pace than TVB, and she was kissed firmly.

Xing Xiuyan is not a lotus root and cannot be indifferent.He hugged her close to him, he tossed and lingered and kissed her for a while before leaving his lips.

The two looked at each other at close range, and Xing Xiuyan looked at his pair of romantic and affectionate phoenix eyes.

She still has a bit of ambivalence, unable to accept such a change in the relationship so quickly.But after being kissed just now, she still felt it, and she was dizzy.

Although it was a memory of more than 100 years ago, she had never slept with a man, but she had kissed a man. This is an instinct, and of course she knows that she has feelings for this kiss.

The most intimate red hot lips and tongues intertwined, sticking to his real body full of masculine strength.Every muscle and every inch of his texture seemed to hold a dangerous and seductive aggression, and the subtle tension and relaxation made her feel as she was tightly nestled in his arms.

This kind of men's strong hormonal hug without any relationship between "uncle and nephew" arouses a woman's instinctive desire to surrender.

Tu Yuanyi was already emotional/desire at this time, but he didn't know why he would be so tolerant towards her. Last time in the Lishan Palace, he clearly thought about it for many years and finally didn't touch it. .

Tu Yuanyi didn't know whether he wanted to cover up his body or his heart, but at this moment he said coldly: "If you dare to be presumptuous, I will not forgive you lightly!"

ha?Xing Xiuyan looked at his icy face in astonishment, and couldn't believe that a man who hugged her so tightly and kissed her just now said these words.

Wasn't he the one who hugged her, sucked her, bit her, and stuck out his tongue just now?

The thing pasted on her just now was also her hallucination?

Putting away the unbearable thoughts, she carefully left his embrace, knelt down and thanked him.

When her forehead touched the ground, she had mixed feelings. From now on, I'm afraid their relationship will not be as close as before.

A relative who was very important in her heart was killed by him with his own hands. She didn't know whether she should miss it, or it was also a sin to miss him.

……

On April [-], Mrs. Xing and Li received an invitation from Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Zhang Ying's family, the envoy of Tongzheng and a scholar of Zhaowenguan University, inviting their mother and daughter to Zhang's mansion to enjoy flowers.

Mrs. Sun liked Xing Xiuyan very much. When asked about Xing Xiuyan's age, he heard that he was old enough. When asked about etiquette, he didn't even invite the official guest.At that time, Shi Zhang's family was also present. Although Shi Zhang's natal family is not related to Wu Fu's family, but they are still of the same family.Shi Zhang took the opportunity to propose an invitation as a foster mother, and invited Zhang Ying's wife Sun to be the guest of honor.

Zhang Sun's family has both sons and daughters, her husband's family is noble, and her family style is strict, and Zhang Ying is ranked as the third-rank official envoy. She was only 50 years old at the time, and her official career was smooth.

Zhang Sun smiled and agreed, holding Xing Xiuyan's hand so much.

On April 26th, Xing Xiuyan and Ji, the Xing family was just a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.It is very prudent to invite guests outside, the Lin family, the Shi family, and the Jia family must be invited. Among them, the Shi Zhang family recruited people, and invited his natal brother and the previous few families who had good friends.

Among the women of the Jia family, only Madam Xing brought Yingchun here. Today is Baoyu's birthday, so people from the second room would naturally not come, and Wang Xifeng was actually left in the mansion to help Baoyu.

Naturally, Daiyu came to Xing's mansion, and only asked her family to prepare gifts to go to Jia's mansion, which made Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang unhappy for a while, so I won't go into details.

The Xing family extended the banquet, not only the Xingli family, Shi Zhang family and several capable nuns worked together, but even the master Chen Yan and his wife, who were always carefree, also actively helped entertain the guests.

As for the male guests, Lin Ruhai, Shi Bai, and Shi Rui took the name of foster father and naturally asked for leave to be present.The only male visitor to Jia's residence was Jia Lian, but Shi Bai told him to come, and asked him to abide by the rules in the Xing's house and not to have any evil thoughts.

The male guests are only these "insiders". Originally, Jiji was a daughter's show, and Dazhou was a dynasty established by the Ming Dynasty, with strict etiquette. It seems that outsiders who are not relatives should not be present.

According to the custom of paying attention to the daughters of rich and noble families, the Xing family held a grand banquet, and the audience was full of female relatives.

However, Yingchun was sitting with Shi Hui's cousin, Zhang Yunyun. Zhang Yunyun was already engaged, and her husband's family was the eldest son of a fourth-rank official. He is now 22 years old.I want to marry Zhang Yunyun after the spring next year, regardless of success or failure.

Yingchun had never participated in such activities outside the mansion, and Baochai was not as gifted as Ji, let alone her.

Today is so prosperous, although Yingchun is dull, the little girl's heart is still somewhat envious after all.In her opinion, Cousin Xing is not only a direct descendant, but also surpasses her in appearance, and is also deeply loved by her family. The people under her are also loyal, not like her nanny.

Shi Zhang was the host, Zhang Sun was the guest of honor, Dai Yu was the praiser, Shi Hui was the secretary, Ying Chun and other unmarried girls watched with wide eyes, but when they saw the three sisters appearing, they felt amazed for a long time.

After reading a long congratulatory speech, the guest of honor added a hairpin to Xing Xiuyan, and chanted loudly: "Etiquette is ready, and the moon is auspicious, and I will tell you the word. The word Kongjia is suitable for fashion scholars. It is suitable for fakes and will be accepted forever." Keep it."

Xing Xiuyan replied: "Although Xiuyan is not sensitive, I dare not only serve it late at night." After speaking, he bowed to Zhang Sun's family, and Zhang Sun's family also returned the salute.

Xing Xiuyan was accompanied by Lin and Shi, Zixue Qingjin's four maidservants, and Nanny Zhao back to the East House, where she changed into a luxurious undergarment, saluted her parents, and thanked her for her upbringing.

Mrs. Shi Zhang also inserted a pearl hairpin with hundreds of flowers, which was very luxurious. The sharp-eyed officials and family members looked at the pearl and craftsmanship on the hairpin and knew that there was no one that could not be bought for a few thousand taels.

The people who originally underestimated the official position of the Xing family were just faces of the Lin and Shi families.But at this time, they didn't dare to underestimate it. It seemed that the family was much richer than they thought.Mrs. Xing is even more determined to establish a good relationship with her brother and sister-in-law.

After reading another congratulatory speech, she went back to the room and changed into a luxurious dark dress, and then knelt down to the elders.Mrs. Shizhang painted orchid makeup for her again. After saying the auspicious words, she went back to the house and changed into a long skirt and a dress. Even the Japanese twelve single clothes of later generations are just the skin.

The female relatives with a little bit of status saw that this dress was even more luxurious than the ones worn by the princes and clan daughters they had participated in.It happens that the pattern is novel and not beyond the standard.This is supervised by Zhao Gui personally, and the eight best embroiderers in the palace were selected. The sages have seen the blueprints three times, and there is only one set in the world.

Xing Xiuyan was wrapped in layers of dress, with elegant etiquette, and bowed in the direction of the northwest palace, and then finished the congratulatory speech.

When Xing Xiuyan got up again, he thanked the guests, Shi Rui couldn't help but feel sour when he saw it.For such a smart person as him, he knew very well what his parents said at the beginning, what was waiting behind her was that person who no one in the world could compete with him.

He knew the background of the Xing family, but seeing this situation today confirmed what his parents had said.The Xing family's parents would definitely not be able to give her such a coming-of-age gift, but since the draft is imminent, since the man is so hardworking, she should be able to take good care of her after entering the palace, so she won't die in the palace.Forget it, no matter whether she is rich or poor, his fate ends with his elder brother.

The Xing family entertained the guests warmly, and the guests left after the banquet, without counting them in detail.

……

At night, Zhao Gui reported to Tu Yuanyi that Xing Xiuyan passed the hair smoothly and was decent, but Tu Yuanyi had no expression on his face, and only nodded slightly to make him retreat.

After Zhao Gui left the palace, he met Li Dequan, the superintendent of Xichang. Both of them were Tu Yuanyi's favored eunuchs, and they were in charge of Dongxichang.However, Xing Xiuyan's affair with Tu Yuanyi was mostly explained to Zhao Gui. Zhao Gui felt that the saint had more trust in him, so he was more or less proud in front of Li Dequan.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Zhao Gui left. Now that Li Dequan is on duty in front of the imperial court, he also needs to rest.
