Jingxiu palace!
The beautiful embroidered shoes of Lin'an princess, stepping on the soft lichen and holding the arm of the prince's brother, enter Jingxiu palace.
The room is warm as spring, and the floor heating dispels the cold of December. The princess in luxurious clothes sits at the table, and has already arranged the delicious food, waiting for a pair of children with a smile on her face.
In her early 40s, Princess Chen was already over the prime of a woman's life and was in the most plump stage of a woman's life.
Her skin is still tight, her eyes are still rippling with the light of water, her well maintained figure is not out of shape, and the years have precipitated a woman's mature charm on her body.
Apart from the empress, among all the beauties in the harem, Princess Chen is the best.
So among the four princesses, only Lin'an can compete with the eldest princess... No, one is superior.
"It's too hot. Let the slave outside bring down the charcoal fire." The energetic Princess Lin'an frowned.
She usually as long as the charcoal fire is enough, the floor heating is too hot, giving people the feeling like in a steamer.
"Listen to Princess Lin'an and bring down the charcoal fire," said Princess Chen with a gentle smile
Lin'an happily threw herself into her mother's arms, smiling like a little girl: "mother Princess, my child sleeps here at night, how about sleeping with you?"
Princess Chen nodded with a gentle smile.
Although this is not in accordance with the rules, after all, the concubines may have to wait on the emperor at night, but in the reign of emperor Jingdi of Yuan Dynasty, because the emperor practiced Taoism all the year round, many rules in the back palace were already in the form of decorations.
If the emperor cares about women, the rules will be strict, but the emperor doesn't care about the beauties in his harem. On the premise of not making mistakes in principle, he likes what he likes.
The so-called mistakes of principle... Hehe hehe.
However, such a state as yuanjingdi is not good for nothing. At least the harem is very harmonious, and the concubines can't fight.
The prince accompanies his mother and concubine to have a family life, and Princess Lin'an also jabbers in.
"Today, the spirit dragon suddenly crazy, almost hurt Lin'an, father emperor and bodyguards less than rescue." The prince mentioned what happened in the afternoon.
The imperial concubine of the Buddhism department was shocked. She quickly took Princess Lin'an's hand and looked at it in fear: "is there any injury? Show it to my mother. "
Second princess is a love coquettish mount, take advantage of the situation as aggrieved poor expression: "the child almost can't see the mother Princess."
After a while, the imperial concubine was afraid and said angrily, "what's the matter with these slaves? A beast can't accept them. It almost hurt my son."
After losing her temper, she held Princess Lin'an's catkin: "later, the prince saved you?"
The status of the prince is quite different from that of other princes. Apart from the queen, all the other concubines in the harem should be called the prince, not "my son" or "emperor's son".
Lin'an wrinkled his nose toward the prince and complained: "the prince's brother has no such ability. Every time Huaiqing bullies me, he only talks and doesn't help me beat Huaiqing."
The prince shook his head with a bitter smile.
The imperial concubine became more and more curious. She looked at the prince and held her daughter's hand: "talk to my mother?"
Lin'an's charming peach blossom eyes all of a sudden bloomed: "I received a small Gong today... Well, the day before yesterday, today I was taking it with me to be sent. It happened that he saved me."
"Gong..." Chen Guifei frowned: "is it a watchman?"
"Well." Lin'an said: "I know that my mother's wife doesn't like watchmen because they are all Wei Yuan's people, but he is my people."
Princess Chen nodded with a smile: "does your majesty have a reward?"
"There is." The prince answers.
"The palace has to be rewarded here too," said Princess Chen solemnly. "I'll send someone to the storeroom to pick up some jewelry and send it to me later."
Of course, the object of the imperial concubine's reward should not be the minister's son, but the female family members of the minister's son's family.
Hearing this, the prince suddenly frowned, "when did Xu Qi'an become your man?"
Princess Lin'an raised her white chin and said with pride, "I snatched it from Huaiqing."
"Huaiqing knows."
"I know."
"And she didn't teach you?"
"She dares to teach me... I... I'll take Xu Qi'an back to see her. It's not only protective, but also irritating." At this point, Princess Lin'an is happy for her wit.
In December, it's dark when it's dark.
Starting from yamen, the sun was still hanging in the western sky, stubbornly dyeing the clouds into its own shape and color.
When Xu Fu arrived, the sky was completely dark, and lanterns lit up, reflecting the late comers, attics and tile roofed houses.
Every time Xu Qi'an saw this scene, he hated that he didn't learn to draw.
At this point, Xu's house is closed. The porter Lao Zhang knows that Dalao never goes through the door.
So when Xu Qian knocked on the door, Lao Zhang was surprised."Call the people in the house to move things." Xu Qi'an said.
Moving things?
Lao Zhang glanced over Xu Dalang's shoulder and looked at the three carriages behind him, as well as the watchmen.
...
in the front hall, a family of four is having a meal. Today, Xu Lingyue still didn't wait for his elder brother to have a meal together. She thinks about him strangely, bows her head and asks, "elder brother hasn't been home on time for many days."
As the candle flickered, her long eyelashes held the light, and her sharp melon face was shining with a warm jade like luster.
White and beautiful melon face, pure and soft posture, if put on the sailor uniform, is in line with the public aesthetic school flower.
Well, it's a school flower of mixed blood. Xu Lingyue's facial features are more profound and three-dimensional than those of ordinary women.
"I'll have a la carte left for my brother." Xu Lingyin and her sister are two extremes. When her elder brother is away, no one grabs food with her.
The short and thick hands hold the chopsticks. They are very talented.
"How many days is the salary due?" My aunt took a look at the second uncle.
Xu Er Shu bowed his head to eat, "um.".
In fact, he has already overdrawn his monthly salary for this month. As the new year draws near, the entertainment and gift giving among his colleagues are all white money.
Anyway, Ningyan didn't marry a daughter-in-law. I'll borrow his salary first. Uncle Xu thought.
"At the end of the year, we have to make clothes for Lingyue Lingyin and Dalang Erlang. There is not enough money." My aunt sighed.
Before I went to Yunlu Academy last month, my family still had several tens of taels of silver in savings, but as soon as I came back, it was empty....
my aunt had to tear my second uncle on the spot to say if he was going out to fool around.
It's Xu Dalang and Xu Erlang who guarantee their personality. The silver is used to run the relationship and do business. It's not a fool.
My aunt believed it.
Although Xu Dalang is an obnoxious man, he is stubborn and never tells lies. Xu Erlang is a scholar, from childhood to adulthood, is a sensible child.
"It's just a matter of a few liang of silver." Uncle Xu didn't care.
My aunt looked at him and said, "I want to buy a cloud brocade."
Xu Er Shu raised his head in surprise. He didn't think the family's current economic situation could afford a foot or two of Yunjin.
His aunt calculated for him, saying that after Erlang Chunwei, if he could win, his status would be different. He couldn't wear the same robe as before. No matter how precious it was, none of it could hold up the stage.
Ling Yue is old enough to get married. The clothes in the cupboard should be renovated.
Xu Ershu listened absently, and he was perfunctory.
Pop!
Aunt patted the chopsticks on the table.
Aunt and expressionless picked up chopsticks, "eat."
Xu Er Shu said helplessly: "when we were in the tax case, we emptied our family. I asked my colleagues to borrow the rice noodles for the first month. I'll buy them next year."
The aunt bowed her head and did not show him her reddish eyes.
"Be careful, be careful... Don't touch the wall. I'll see if I don't cut you."
There was a shout from the porter Lao Zhang.
Xu Er Shu was in a bad mood. He frowned and saw that the people in the house came in carefully under the command of the porter Lao Zhang, holding a piece of silk.
Aunt opened her eyes wide and watched in disbelief as the bright satins moved in.
"So beautiful..." Xu Lingyue exclaimed.
Green e's eyes widened and she was salivating.
Only Xu Lingyin is devoted to food. Her face is buried in the bowl, and her cheeks are bulging.
"Where, where did they come from?" Xu Er Shu asked blankly.
The porter Lao Zhang spread out a piece of coarse cloth and spread it on the ground. As he instructed his servants to put down the silk, he replied, "Dalao brought it back. He said it was given to him by his majesty."
From your majesty? Uncle Xu's first reaction was that the Sangpo case was solved?
As a member of the imperial sword guard, he is on duty in the outer city on weekdays, but he doesn't know what happened in the inner city. The Sangbo case is full of troubles in the inner city, but people with insufficient identity have no access to relevant information.
Thinking that he had been stuck in Qi training for nearly 20 years, the second uncle felt gloomy. But soon, this sense of sadness was dissipated by joy: "what about Ningyan people?"
"Outside the door... Your majesty has bestowed a total of five hundred silks." The porter Lao Zhang said happily.
"PATA!"
My aunt's chopsticks fell on the table.
PS: there's another chapter at 12 o'clock. For my sake, I'll ask for a monthly ticket.
