Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

Xu Ying's intention is obviously to bring these women in Tongque Garden together for her own use.

However, none of the women in Tongque Garden are simple.

They are all people who have lived in the back house.

Especially Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Gan, they are both experts in "palace fighting". When King Huai was at the peak of his power, Mrs. Hui, Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Gan secretly fought for the position of the heir apparent.

So if Xu Ying wants to fart, they will know it as soon as they smell it.

And they don’t have to be afraid of Xu Ying.

Therefore, when she stood up and raised her wine glass, except for Princess Chu Ran of Zhaoqing who responded immediately, the other women ignored Xu Ying.

Xu Yingfeng frowned, seeing that the atmosphere was a bit cold, she said in a clear voice: "Why, don't you all hope that Duke An will go well and return safely?"

"Hmph." Mrs. Xiao snorted coldly, and then said: "It's just a glass of wine and blessing, how insincere. Tomorrow I plan to go to the temple with my sister to pray for An Guo Gong, copy the Peace Sutra for An Guo Gong, and eat and bathe until An Guo The Duke is back."

Mrs. Gan, who was sitting next to her, nodded as a response.

Xu Ying: "..."

Chu Ran: "..."

Xu Ying pursed her plump and round pink lips, narrowed her long and beautiful eyes into a single line, and then said: "Then it's the two sisters who have worked hard. When An Guogong comes back, I will tell you about the two sisters in front of An Guogong. of hard work.”

Xu Ying directly called Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Gan sister.

"Now I won't trouble the former empress. Moreover, these are what the slave family and my sister should do. As long as Duke An Guo can return safely, our hard work is nothing. It is not worthy of Duke An Guo's concern." Mrs. Xiao took it out of her sleeve. He lay down on his hands, then picked up the handkerchief as if holding an orchid finger with his hand, covered his mouth and said.

A hint of coldness flashed under Xu Ying's curved eyebrows, and she also knew that these two people were not easy to control.

Because Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Gan were not convinced by Xu Ying, the New Year's Eve dinner in Tongque Garden ended early.

It was already midnight in the room of Princess Zhaoqing Chu Ran.

The candle on the candlestick danced with a golden flame, dispelling the darkness in the room and bringing light.

The young woman Hua Xin, who has a graceful and quiet figure and a clear mind, is holding a bamboo heater and sitting behind the desk, looking at the "Stories of the Three Kingdoms" compiled by Fuze Restaurant.

Since this "Story of the Three Kingdoms" was written by Chen Mo to attract business for Fuze Restaurant, it appealed to male senses, so it was not in line with Chu Ran's reading interests.

But this was written by Chen Mo. Chu Rancai picked it up and read it many times in a row, and it was difficult to read it completely in one breath.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

On weekdays, no one came to Tongque Garden. The only ones who came to see her were the maid and Xiao Yunxi.

And this late at night, I'm afraid it's just the maid.

"It's such a cold day, go down and rest, you don't have to wait around here." Chu Ran said.

"Your Highness, it's me." A noble voice sounded.

"Why are you here?" Chu Ran raised his eyebrows.

In fact, Chu Ran really doesn't know how to call Xu Ying now.

Xu Ying's identity is the former queen, that is, the woman of her imperial brother.

And she was once the wife of Xu Ying's eldest brother.

She is both her sister-in-law and her eldest sister-in-law.

When you are in the capital, you can also use your status to match your status.

But after coming to Xiangyang, the status he once had no longer existed.

It is precisely for this reason that the two have been under the same roof for so long, but they have never been alone together, let alone talked well.

Chu Ran was puzzled that Xu Ying came so late.

When Xu Ying saw Chu Ran's response, she pushed the door open and walked in. She looked at the young woman Hua Xin who was reading a book at the desk and chuckled: "What are you looking at, Your Highness?"

"Go back to your Majesty, the words written by Duke An Guo to the restaurant." After thinking about it, Chu Ran still called Xu Ying her identity when she was in the capital.

Xu Ying did not act like an outsider. She came straight to Chu Ran and sat down in front of Chu Ran. She said, "I have also read this. Where did your Highness see it?"

"Zhuge Kongming borrows arrows from that straw boat." Chu Ran put down his storybook, stood up with the heater in his hand, poured Xu Ying a cup of tea, and suddenly said: "Is your Majesty looking for me so late?"

Xu Ying turned her graceful and pretty face, her bright eyes flashed, and she said softly: "Can't you come to see His Highness if you have nothing to do?"

Chu Ran hugged the heater with both hands and looked at Xu Ying quietly.

The two of them just looked at each other for a while. Xu Ying's beautiful face was full of sadness and she said quietly: "His Highness also saw it at the New Year's Eve dinner just now. They are not the same as us."

Chu Ran held the heater and sat with a few small tables separated from Xu Ying: "What do you want to say?"

Xu Ying sat close again, held Chu Ran's hand, and said, "Your Highness, we need to hug each other to keep warm."

Saying that, Xu Ying smiled and said: "Your Highness must have served Duke An."

Hearing this, Chu Ran blushed and hurriedly pulled her hand back, avoiding Xu Ying's gaze. Just as she was about to quibble, a faint voice suddenly came from her ears.

"I have also served Duke An Guo, more than once. I miss him so much now. I want him to kiss me and touch me."

The dim candlelight spread on Xu Ying's plump and white face, and her face painted with makeup was filled with traces of charm. She took Chu Ran's hand again and said: "In this courtyard, , Your Highness and I have the best relationship. Your Highness has to help me. Of course, I will help His Highness. "

Chu Ran was a little frightened by Xu Ying's "bold" words, and pulled her hand back again. She never expected that the once aloof queen would say such explicit words in front of him.

Chu Ran tilted his head and said with a blushing face: "My dear, you are drunk. You'd better go back and rest quickly."

"Your Highness, do you think I am too wanton, or am I shameless?"

"No."

"Really? Your Highness, don't feel embarrassed. Sometimes I feel shameless."

Xu Ying stood up, turned her back to Chu Ran, and said: "But now, she is no longer a high-ranking queen, nor is she the daughter of a prime minister who dominates the government. She is just a slave who has been demoted to slaves and lives in this Tongque Garden. It’s just a girl who lives with a disabled dog.”

Saying that, Xu Ying turned around, looked at Chu Ran, and then said: "If you have never climbed to the top of the mountain and seen the small scenery of the mountains, you will just live like this for the rest of your life.

But now I have to raise my head and look up at the top of the mountain that I once stepped on. How cruel this is, how could I be willing to do so. "

Xu Ying bent down, raised her hand to caress Chu Ran's face, and said seriously: "Since His Highness has served Lord An Guo, he must not be willing to spend his whole life as an outlaw with no status, and his children will be treated as bastards, right?"

On a whim, the emperor was blessed with a palace maid, and the next day he wanted to give her a husband's concubine. Are we worse than a palace maid? "

These words truly spoke to Chu Ran's heart.

Indeed, if he hadn't slept with Chen Mo, it would be fine if he had no name and no distinction in Tongque Garden for the rest of his life.

But after serving, if you still live your whole life with no status and no status, isn't your service in vain?

Seeing the change in Chu Ran's expression, Xu Ying continued: "To change this situation, it is nothing more than gaining the favor of Duke An.

But An Guogong has so many women, it’s not enough to accompany them, and the time to come to Tongqueyuan is even less. If by chance An Guogong comes, who of us will feel unwell without ventilation? , wouldn’t it be easier for Mrs. Xiao and the others?”

As she said that, Xu Ying suddenly leaned into Chu Ran's ear and said: "And the few times I have served An Guogong, I know what he likes, especially those who we used to be.

If An Guogong comes every time, your Highness and I will come together, and I still worry about not being able to capture An Guogong's heart. "

At this moment, Chu Ran's originally flawless face turned as red as the lanterns outside the house, and her voice trembled slightly: "Mother, stop talking."

Xu Ying suddenly hugged Chu Ran and whispered softly: "Your Highness, do you know? Every time An Guogong hugs me, he uses his hands."

Chu Ran wanted to push Xu Ying away, but felt that her body was a little weak.

Looking at Xu Ying's "affectionate" eyes, Chu Ranfang's heart was slightly lifted, feeling that if this situation continued, the two of them would hug each other and kiss.

"But I promised auntie." Chu Ran said.

Xu Ying was stunned for a moment, knowing that she was talking about Xiao Yunxi, and immediately her eyes lit up: "That would be better, then we..."

Chu Ran: "..."

She didn't dare to think about this scene.

The occupied Chongwang Mansion.

After she got used to it, the blush on Yue Ruyan's face gradually dissipated.

The quilt on the bed was cushioned high, and she was lying on the quilt. Her beautiful eyebrows frowned for a moment, and then they relaxed. Her eyes seemed to be open, and her eyes were charming. From time to time, she turned around and said, "What are you planning to do?" When will we march?"

"Let's go on the third day of the new year. Let the army rest for another two days and feel the atmosphere of the New Year." Chen Mo tidied up the sweaty hair stained by Yue Ruyan on his face, and said: "Fortunately, this time I went south to the King of Qin, let the logistics Bring your winter clothes, otherwise you’ll have to wait until spring.”

Yue Ruyan's delicate body trembled slightly, and she said softly, "Hmm," and said: "Didn't we also seize a batch of winter resources in Chongzhou?"

Chen Mo nodded.

"It's strange to say that the south is colder than the north." Yue Ruyan asked doubtfully.

"The south is wet and cold, the north is dry and cold." Chen Mo replied casually.

"?" Yue Ruyan didn't quite understand.

This was what Chen Mo heard from the elders in his previous life. As for the scientific principles, he had never understood it, so he couldn't explain it to Yue Ruyan in detail. He could only talk it over casually, and then said: "Ruyan, what do you want? Want a child?"

Yue Ruyan has been with him for a while, and there has been no movement in her stomach.

Xia Zhining, who was resting next to her but had not fallen asleep, turned sideways when she heard this, opened her eyes slightly, and pricked up her ears.

After Yue Ruyan thought for a while, she said, "I don't want to think about it yet."

After finishing speaking, fearing that Chen Mo would misunderstand, he explained: "The current situation is still very turbulent. The traitors in the imperial court have not been quelled, and there are Jinxia barbarians in the north. I still want to stay by your side to help you. If you are pregnant, you can Can't help."

However, even though they said this, when the two of them were together, they never took any contraceptive measures, and they just "acted as they pleased."

"In that case, let's do it as usual. If you get pregnant, then take good care of the baby." Chen Mo originally thought that if Yue Ruyan wanted a baby now, then let Nalan Yiren come and take a look. Since you don't want it for the time being, let's not let Nalanyi people participate in the diagnosis and treatment.

With that said, Chen Mo looked at Xia Zhining who was peeking and said with a smile: "Stop pretending, I know you are listening and you also want a child. I will ask Miss Nalan to come and take a look tomorrow."

After saying that, Chen Mo stopped talking and focused all his attention on Yue Ruyan.

…

New Year's Day.

January 1, the third year of Yong'an.

There are few people living in Prince Chong's Mansion.

Chen Mo called Nalan Yiren over and had breakfast together.

Nalanyi was not wearing the black robe. He was wearing a dark blue top and plain trousers underneath. There were some traces of wear and tear left by daily work. His long hair was tied up and a piece of wood was simply inserted. Hairpin, no bamboo cages and various bottles and jars on my body.

This "refreshing" appearance made Chen Mo and the other two people's eyes light up.

"Miss Nalan, you look much better like this than before." Chen Mo said with a smile.

But Nalan Yiren's eyes were a little dodgey, but she was relieved in her heart, glad that the other party didn't mention what happened last night.

Breakfast is meat porridge and white flour steamed buns.

It seems simple.

But in today's troubled times, it can be said to be very rich.

Nalanyi's half-face mask did not cover her mouth, so she ate her breakfast without taking off the mask.

Chen Mo didn't feel embarrassed and asked directly: "Miss Nalan, I have something to ask you."

Nalan Yi didn't even raise her head as she drank her meat porridge and said, "I'm listening."

"Zhining and I have had sex many times, but she has never been pregnant. Originally, I thought it was me or Zhining who was ill, but it turned out not to be the case. Some of my other wives and concubines were also pregnant. What's the reason? ?" Chen Mo said.

Nalan Yiren looked up and said: "Two reasons. One is that your level is too high and it is difficult to have children. But as long as you have sex more times, you still have a chance. So I think the reason lies in the skills. Conflict? This reason will lead to the fact that after you have sex with ordinary people, the chances of getting pregnant are greater for ordinary people than for warriors.

The solution is also very simple. Either you or your wife or concubine should stop practicing for a period of time. After your body has adapted to the tempering of qi and blood or innate spiritual energy caused by the practice, and then have sex again, the chance of pregnancy will be greatly increased.

If you want to increase the chance of pregnancy, then both parties should stop practicing. It is best if there is no trace of innate spiritual energy left in your body. "

Nalan Yiren picked up the handkerchief placed on the table and wiped her mouth, looked at Chen Mo and said: "I have observed your innate aura before, it is too domineering and too yang.

As the saying goes, "Yang cannot grow alone, and Yin alone cannot grow." I suggest that it is best for you to stop practicing for a while. "

Xia Zhining looked at Chen Mo quietly.

Chen Mo: "..."
