Rebirth of the fairy in the painting

After returning to the mansion, An Xining pulled Zihua closer to the room and closed the door tightly. Although Zihua was curious about why he had to close the door after eating candied haws, he obediently kept his mouth shut out of trust.

With a wretched smile in his heart, An Xining pulled Zi Hua to sit beside him, and held a candied haws to Zi Hua's mouth: "Hold it first, and I'll teach you how to eat it."

Zihua held it according to the words, and then heard An Xining say: "First lick the rock sugar on the outside, slowly and gently, yes, that's it, then take the top one in your mouth, roll it with your tongue... "

An Xining's eyes became darker and darker, staring closely at Zi Hua's bright red lips and the candied haws in and out of his mouth, but his face still had a look of innocence and innocence, which was even more so under the strong contrast. It makes people feel unbearable.

Thinking that if the candied haws were replaced by something else... that would only come true in a dream, An Xining was about to be driven crazy by her own imagination, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was burnt to death, but Zihua spit out at this time After picking up the candied haws, he frowned and said, "This way of eating is not good at all. The sugar on the outside is gone, and the sour teeth inside are almost falling. An Xining, are you kidding me?"

An Xining changed his sitting position, and said awkwardly: "How come...Zi Hua, if you don't like this way of eating, I have another way to teach you."

Zi Hua turned his head in doubt, and saw An Xining took a bite of the candied haws with sugar and flesh, and then kissed him under his surprised eyes.The rock sugar turned into sugar water as you pushed and squeezed. Because it was too late to swallow, it flowed down from the corners of the lips. The pulp lingered in the mouths of the two of them. The soft tongue brought a strange pleasure to the hard pulp.

With a smile in his eyes, An Xining licked the candy off Zi Hua's lips after parting, hugged him and asked, "Is Zi Hua satisfied with this way of eating?"

Zi Hua stretched out a finger to point at the tip of his nose and slid it down, stopping at his lower lip: "I only know that you really have bad intentions."

An Xining grabbed his troublesome hand, put it into his mouth and sucked it lightly: "This is the most authentic reaction to liking someone."

Zihua broke free and walked to the door, looking back at him with a little smile in his eyes: "Do you need me to go to the kitchen and order you to mend it? I'm afraid...you won't be able to bear it."

An Xining gritted his teeth: "No need, Your Highness has always been a dragon and a tiger. I'm only worried that Zi Hua will not be able to keep up with you."

It was night, in the Hui'an Palace, the empress specially invited Emperor Mingde to come over for dinner. Looking at the steaming food on the table and the empress who was talking and laughing beside him, Emperor Mingde finally had a face that had been tense all day. Smiling.

Seeing Emperor Mingde's relaxed expression, the queen put a chopsticks of vegetables into his bowl, pretending to be casual and said: "This morning, my concubine went to Ning'er's other courtyard outside the palace."

Emperor Mingde snorted coldly: "Why do you go to this unfilial son? The older you are, the more you don't understand the rules, you dare to disobey the elders, and even do such a disgraceful thing. Now he doesn't come to admit his mistakes to us, but you go to him instead. Is it possible? Do you still want us to bow our heads to him?"

The queen pinched the handkerchief to cover her lips and smiled, supported his shoulders and said: "Your Majesty, please don't get angry, just let the concubine finish speaking. Although Ning'er has his faults, we parents can't just criticize him blindly." Instead of blaming him, he should be guided, Ning'er was born by a concubine, the concubine's heart aches when he leaves."

Emperor Mingde retorted in a low voice: "What you say, it seems that Ning'er was not born to me, so I don't know how distressed I am."

The queen gave him a sharp look and continued: "Your Majesty, you always say that Ning'er is stubborn, but you don't even know who this looks like. If both of you, father and son, don't bow your heads, then you can only make peace between the courtiers and concubines, and you can't. It's really because of a little disagreement that the relationship between father and son was broken, and then both of them will regret it."

Emperor Mingde put down the chopsticks in his hand: "I didn't say that I would break the relationship between father and son. As long as the rebellious son doesn't associate with a man, I can pretend that this has never happened."

The queen sighed: "Speaking of the person Ning'er likes, he is also a poor child, without father or mother. Although there is Lin Shicheng as a adoptive father, after all, it is still separated by a layer. The concubine looks like he is also a top-notch boy." , no wonder Ning'er is obsessed with him, and the concubine has also chatted with him, her demeanor and conversation are not bad, if she is a daughter, with Ning'er's frizzy temper, it would be perfect."

Emperor Mingde didn't think so: "Zitong also said that it would be great if he was a daughter, but he happened to be born with the wrong gender."

"That's right, otherwise Ning'er wouldn't be caught between him and me and suffer so much. Seeing his haggard appearance this morning, I really forced my tears to flow."

Emperor Mingde's face was shaken, his eyes struggled a little, his fingers holding the cup turned white, but in the end he couldn't resist Aizi's eagerness, and asked, "Is he really emaciated?"

The queen dabbed her eyes with a veil: "That's right, my face is sallow and I can't stand upright. I heard that I have caught a cold, but from my concubine's point of view, there is something wrong with my heart. Your Majesty, both of you and I have experienced emotional pain." How can I bear to see my son follow in our footsteps."

Emperor Mingde looked at the empress with red eyes, feeling agitated in his heart: "I can't bear his pain, but I can't bear him to have no one to die."

The Queen said: "Your Majesty, the courtiers and concubines have also thought about this issue, but children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so why should we care so much? Besides, if Ning'er is really with the same man, he can still adopt the children of the clan. The incense is lit."

"It's different, there will always be some differences if it's not your own."

The queen nodded, then thought about clapping her hands and said: "You and I are confused, how could I forget that even if Ning'er is with a man, he can have a few more concubines, and incense and so on will not be a problem at all."

Emperor Mingde also suddenly became enlightened: "Yes, Zitong is still smart, but of course it is better not to marry a man, so as not to ruin the reputation of the royal family. That's good, Zitong, you can arrange a palace banquet in a few days As the Spring Festival is approaching, I specially invite the wives and daughters of the ministers of the court to come to the palace to enjoy the plum blossoms. I can guarantee that once your invitation comes out, those old foxes will be able to smell that you are here to choose a concubine for Ning Er. Are you going to bring your sister-in-law to you? At that time, you brought Ning'er and the others with you. There are so many beautiful women here, how can he not be tempted when he sees them."

The queen hesitated: "Can your majesty do this?"

Emperor Mingde bluffed: "Why not? Let me tell you that the whole capital is now discussing Ning'er's marriage. You have confirmed the rumors by holding a palace banquet. If Zitong is afraid that you will not have enough candidates, you can send some of them." The concubines also brought in to make up the numbers, and there were so many people that it was lively."

"No, no, no," the Queen waved her hand, "Since it is for the purpose of choosing a concubine, how can we let some concubines come here and mess up their identities. If Ning'er really likes it, how will it end?"

Emperor Ming De laughed happily: "Zi Tong is thoughtful, that's all I mentioned. I want to make the battle bigger and let Ning'er have more choices. If you have concerns, then don't invite her."

"The concubine knows, let someone go down to make arrangements tomorrow. As for the time, let's set it in the middle of this month."

The next day, the news spread that the queen was going to hold a banquet in the palace and invited the wives and daughters of the princes and ministers. Everyone was guessing that the emperor and the queen were going to choose a concubine for the fifth prince. They all moved their minds. Although it is difficult for the five highnesses to become great treasures, they are the empress's sons and are deeply favored by the emperor. The elder brother of the sons is still the prince. The future is limitless. In addition, I have just returned from victory and will soon be crowned king. He was young and handsome, and he was the one who couldn't even ask for a quick son-in-law.

So all of a sudden, the whole capital was talking about it, and all the ladies and ladies were trying their best to dress up their own daughters, and they had to inquire about the situation of other people's homes from time to time, and discuss with their own when they came back, how can they be better than others, To win the favor of the Queen Empress.

In the general's mansion, a little girl in pink hurriedly walked towards the backyard. Just as she pushed open the carved wooden door, the words came out of her mouth: "Miss, something serious happened."

The beautiful woman who was leaning against the window to make flowers turned her head, and it was Li Simi, her brows were frowning slightly, her red lips were slightly parted, and she reprimanded: "What's the fuss, there is no need to break the rules."

The little servant girl stuck out her tongue and begged for mercy: "Fei'er knows she's wrong, miss, don't be angry."

Li Simi put down her hand that was fiddling with the petals, sat down on the red embroidered squat, and said lazily, "Tell me what happened?"

The little maid called Fei'er immediately became radiant, stood beside her and said: "Your servant just left the palace and heard people outside saying that the queen will hold a banquet in the palace in the middle of the month and ask all the wives of the ministers Women are required to participate, as if they want to choose a concubine for His Highness the Fifth Highness."

Li Simi changed her casualness just now, stood up and grabbed Fei'er's wrist and asked urgently: "Is what you said true?"

Fei'er was in pain but didn't dare to struggle, she kept saying that it was true, although Li Simi was a boudoir girl, she had also learned a few kung fu from her father Li Weiyuan, and she was stronger than ordinary women, now she was even more anxious because of her eagerness A little bit of strength.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Li Simi let go of her hand freely. Although she is the daughter of a general, outsiders seem to have a great scenery and enjoy boundless wealth, but they don't know her inner frustration.

Although her biological mother is the head of the house, she has no real power in front of his father. She has always been submissive and dare not go beyond the slightest. That's why she was angry, she didn't want to be like her mother who would have no status in the family after marriage, and only her husband would follow her lead, not to mention that she had to show her father that she was the one person he could rely on in this mansion.

Therefore, if she wants power and the approval of the mansion, she must find a man with a detached status. Who is more suitable than the fifth prince who has won the favor and is about to be crowned king without a concubine?

Just as she was thinking about it, a servant girl's voice came from outside the door: "Miss, Master and Madam asked this servant to invite you to the study to discuss matters."
