C305 Relaxation

The couple laid down on the bed. Tonight, even Hua Rong could not fall asleep even after tossing and turning. These days, she had been brainwashed by the empress dowager, Tian Wei, Sis GaoSi and the others. Although there were those who had heard of Li Yian's shocking "descendants", but even if it was Li Yian, her husband still wanted to take her in as a concubine. The defense in her heart had gradually fallen, and she faintly felt that not letting her husband take in his concubines was like a great sin. Now, seeing that Zhao Deji had personally picked a concubine to send over, not only was it the Son of Heaven trying to intimidate her, but there was also the empress dowager who berated her.

However, no matter how much he was brainwashed, he could only feel a faint pain in his heart. He didn't know where the pain was coming from, so he only opened his eyes wide until daybreak.

Although he was confused, he did not want to sleep anymore. Yue Pengju immediately got up. Just as she got up and went to the door, she heard a gentle voice. "Madam, the washing water and breakfast are ready. Servant serves Madam and Hubby's meals … "

Hua Rong was startled, seeing a new girl suddenly appear in her house. At this time, Li Qiaoniang had already personally brought water, and walked over, and gently said: "Madam, please, Yue Xiang Gong, please …."

Yue Pengju went to work, while Hua Rong stayed at home. Seeing that Li Qiaoniang was extremely capable, she organized everything in a neat and orderly manner, both inside and outside. Hua Rong only looked at her coldly, coldly looking at the woman who appeared in her house.

But Li Qiaoniang seemed to be unaware of it, she was still busy doing her best to please others, as though she was very familiar with the place as soon as she arrived.

It was almost noon, so Li Qiaoniang finished her work and came out carrying a pot of hot tea, he was extremely attentive: "Madam, please have a cup of hot tea."

Like her, Hua Rong was at a loss of what to do, as if she was a guest at someone else's home. She felt even worse, but before she could say anything, Sis GaoSi walked over with the child in her arms. Li Qiaoniang hastily welcomed her and gave the child a piece of candy.

The two of them met yesterday, and Li Qiaoniang was clever and obedient, quickly winning over the Sis GaoSi. Sis GaoSi was familiar with Yue Pengju and her wife's habits and habits, so she explained the situation between the two of them in detail, which was why she could understand the situation so quickly.

Hua Rong called out to them as well. Li Qiaoniang was extremely obedient, "Ladies, let's chat for now. Servant will go get some refreshments."

When she retreated, Sis GaoSi spoke in a hushed tone, "Madame Yue, why don't you relax." She was familiar with Hua Rong, and had arranged the marriage for the two of them without restraint. Hua Rong had a very good relationship with her, but hearing her words, although she was uncomfortable, she knew that she had good intentions, and only said: "Thank you, Sis GaoSi, for your concern."

Sis GaoSi continued: "Servant sees this Li as a woman with a docile personality, diligent and virtuous, as she crouches down to act as a small child. Madam is only thinking for the future generations of Peng. As long as the child was born, it would be under the Madam's name. "You also know Pengju's personality. He values love and righteousness, there's no way he would forget his old love after he fell in love …"

How can you talk about old and new love?

Hua Rong spoke slowly: "It's just that with Peng Quan's personality, I don't know if he's willing to …"

Sis GaoSi chuckled. "Last night, Servant and Zhang Xian had a discussion, saying that Yue Xiang Gong was infatuated with one another. But the children are related to human justice, have to consider for their ancestors. "Yue Xiang Gong is a solemn person and has experienced many hardships with Madam. I believe he would not easily accept another woman, so I will have to trouble myself a lot …"

"How can I bother?"

"Madam must create more opportunities for them to increase Yue Xiang Gong's goodwill towards Madam Qiao. Otherwise, with his temper, how long will it take for him to get back to normal? "

Hua Rong's heart was in a mess, she thought, was this going to be a round house for Pengju and Li Qiaoniang? Only then did she remember a very important question. If this woman lived in her own home, the round room would become a very urgent problem. If she didn't, how would she give birth to a child? It was impossible for a woman to give birth to a child while doing housework.

But, how could he make Peng Gao consummate her marriage? How could he just watch as Pengju made love with another girl?

Seeing that she was silent, Sis GaoSi sighed: "Yue Xiang Gong is a man of his word, he will definitely not allow it. "If Madam can have a man and a woman, the two of you would be considered goddesses …"

However, there wasn't a man or a woman, so they were a couple.

Hua Rong muttered to herself: "Don't tell me that I have to help him consummate his marriage with another woman?" She only thought about this and didn't say it out loud. When she looked at the Sis GaoSi again, she saw the gentleness in her back and suddenly felt that her face was extremely loathsome. When she thought of the empress dowager, Tianwei, and the others, she couldn't help but feel disgusted.

She didn't know why she had such a terrible thought, but she felt like she was surrounded by enemies. She even had to force herself to smile and think about how she could make her husband fall in love with that woman, marry her, and have children. Only by doing so could she become a good wife of her own.

Seeing the passionate look in Sis GaoSi's eyes, she nodded and said, "I will think about it."

When Sis GaoSi heard this, she was overjoyed and sincerely said: "Servant has a good relationship with you two. The only regret is that you worry about being loyal to the future. "Now that I see how virtuous he is, I know that the heavens have protected his and she is loyal. In the end, he is no longer a descendant of the heavens …"

With such a big hat on her head, Hua Rong found it hard to breathe and could not say a thing. At this point, Li Qiaoniang had already brought out the tea leaves and was teasing the children.

Day after day, Hua Rong realised that there was an additional woman in her family, bringing about a huge change. Li Qiaoniang was a good cook, she could cook different dishes everyday, and would not repeat them for 3 to 5 days. She was good at communication and communication, and in less than half a month, she had a very close relationship with the families of the surrounding generals, especially those that Yue Pengju was extremely close to. She was skillful, could embroider, and made footwear that women imitated. The other family members had all privately confirmed that she was Yue Pengju's Madam Ru and knew that Hua Rong had never given birth to a child. In the future, if she gave birth to a son, given the status of a mother, although she might not be able to replace Hua Rong, it was inevitable for her to be doted on by her husband. At that time, it was very normal for a general to have three wives, and even some of the generals who had great achievements in the army had concubine s, thus, everyone favored Li Qiaoniang.

Li Qiaoniang didn't have such arrogance in herself, but rather, she had decided to serve Hua Rong and her wife as she had done on the first day. She had been careful in trying to please them and had never taken more than half a step, putting herself in the position of a slave.

At first, Yue Pengju often went out to settle things, but when he returned home with his wife at night, he did not realize how big of a change his family had encountered. Until one day he returned early and heard the sound of a zither. He was attracted by the sound of the zither and when he walked closer, he found Li Qiaoniang playing the pipa.

Seeing him, Li Qiaoniang immediately put down her pipa and bowed, "Master has returned."

Yue Pengju asked: "Where's the Madam?"

"Madam has gone out and has not returned. Was my husband going to eat? Servant will send it over immediately. "

"No, I'll wait for the madame to dine together."

A man and a woman alone, Yue Pengju rarely and unwillingly spent time with women, so he didn't want to talk much, so he returned to the living room and sat down. Li Qiaoniang had already brought a cup of fragrant tea in time, and took out a plate of refreshments, "This was personally made by Servant, please have a taste.

Yue Pengju tasted it, but felt that it was extremely delicious, and praised: "Very good."

Li Qiaoniang smiled, "Thank you for your praise, Hubby."

Seeing that Yue Pengju was holding onto a scroll and wanted to read, she immediately went to light it. Yue Pengju frowned, and immediately explained: "Servant saw that the light was dim, and was afraid that Hubby would hurt his eyes."

Yue Pengju then said: "Thank you Young Wife for your consideration."

He thought for a moment and continued, "Young Wife is still young, it's a waste in my family. In the future, lower official will personally choose a different marriage for you … "

Li Qiaoniang's tears fell: "Does Yue Xiang Gong dislike Servant?"

Yue Pengju saw that her face was covered in tears, it was delicate and touching, he anxiously asked: "Why do you say that, Young Wife?"

Li Qiaoniang sobbed, "Although Servant was sent here by the empress dowager, he was still alive. But after being treated so well by her husband and wife these days, she finally felt at home. Especially the Madame, who is extremely grateful to the Servant for treating her as her own sister … "

However, when Yue Pengju heard her call him "wife" and saw that she was extremely pitiful, he could only say: "You can stay behind. In the future, ask his wife to keep an eye out for your beloved husband …"

Seeing Li Qiaoniang replacing her, it made it seem as if Yue Pengju was passing through the ranks of the families like a lady. Since that was the case, she was even more unwilling to show her face, as she heard them talking about their children's experiences and the struggles of three wives and four concubines. Since she had nothing to do, she would often go to the Dongting Lake to check on the situation.

After dusk, a touch of the setting sun reflected in the water, but the vast Dongting Lake suddenly remembered Du Fu's poem, "Wu Chu in the southeast, the heaven and earth floating night and day". Only then did he exclaim in admiration, Du Fu's words were so exquisite.

She was so immersed in such beauty that she completely forgot her worries. It was only when the sky darkened that she remembered that she had to go home — to face the endless troubles of being a woman — and not be able to have children.

She rode her horse and did not increase her speed. She only slowly walked forward, feeling even more frustrated when she thought of Lu Wenlong.

"Home" was placed horizontally in front of her. She dismounted the horse, handed the horse over to the coachman, and slowly walked in. She heard laughter coming from the house, and she lowered her step. Li Qiaoniang slowly walked to the door and discovered that it was open. She was wearing a light red robe and reached out with her bare hands to pick at the wick of the candle with her scissors. Beside her, Yue Pengju was holding onto a book on weapons.

What a good picture of a red-shirted book to read at night.

Suddenly, he remembered that when he returned late like this, it was unknown whether or not he had come out to pick him up, but he did not know that it was from a certain day.

Perhaps, he thought this was an army camp and was very safe, so he didn't need to come out to pick them up?

She stood silently in the doorway, her heart aching as if she had just torn a gallbladder.

After a long while, Yue Pengju raised his head, seeing his wife standing at the door, he immediately stood up and laughed: "Sister Shi Qi is back? "I'm waiting for you to eat, I'm so hungry …"

He immediately went out and pulled his wife's hand before sitting down at the table. Li Qiaoniang anxiously said: "Servant, prepare the dishes immediately."

Hua Rong forced a smile and sat opposite her husband.

Yue Pengju saw her smile and asked: "Where did you go today?"

"I went to see the beautiful scenery of the cave. If not for Yang Me and the other water squid, it would really be a Immortal's cave.
