Stepping on the soft lichen on the exquisitely embroidered shoes of Princess Lin'an, she entered the Jingxiu Palace holding the arm of the prince's elder brother.
The room was as warm as spring, and the floor heating dispelled the coldness of December. The luxuriously dressed imperial concubine was sitting at the table, having prepared a sumptuous meal, waiting for her son and daughter with a smile on her face.
Concubine Chen Guifei is in her early forties, she has already passed the age of a woman in her prime, and is at the most plump and plump stage of a woman.
Her skin is still firm, her eyes are still radiant with watery light, her well-maintained figure is not out of shape, and the years have precipitated a woman's mature charm on her body.
Leaving aside the alluring empress, among the many beauties in the harem, Concubine Chen is the most capable.
Therefore, among the four imperial daughters, only Lin'an can compete with the eldest princess no, compete.
"It's too hot, ask the servants outside to lower the charcoal fire." The energetic Princess Lin'an frowned.
She usually only needs to burn a charcoal fire, but the floor heating is so hot that it feels like being in a steamer.
Concubine Chen Guifei with a gentle smile immediately ordered: "Listen to Princess Lin'an, and send down the charcoal fire."
Lin'an threw himself into his mother's arms happily, and smiled like a little girl: "Mother Concubine, my child will sleep here at night, can I sleep with you?"
Chen Guifei nodded with a gentle smile.
Although this is not in accordance with the rules, after all, the concubines may serve the emperor at night, but in the reign of Emperor Yuan Jing, because the emperor practiced Taoism all the year round, female sex had already been banned, and many rules in the harem were no more than decorations.
The emperor cares about women, so the rules will be strict, but the emperor doesn't care about the beauties in his harem anymore. On the premise of not making mistakes in principle, he loves what he likes.
The so-called error of principle Hehehe.
However, a state like Emperor Yuan Jing's is not useless, at least the harem is very harmonious, and the concubines can't fight if they want to.
The prince accompanied his mother and concubine to do daily chores, and Princess Lin'an also chirped in on the sidelines.
"Today, the Linglong suddenly went mad and almost injured Lin'an. The emperor and the guards were unable to rescue him in time." The prince mentioned what happened in the afternoon.
The noble concubine of the Buddhist family turned pale with shock, and hurriedly took Princess Lin'an's hand, and looked at it in fear: "Is there any injury? Show the concubine mother."
The second princess is a coquettish girl, so she took advantage of the situation to make a pitiful expression: "The child almost won't see the concubine mother."
The imperial concubine was afraid for a while, and said angrily: "What's the matter with these slaves, even a beast can't tame them, they almost hurt my son."
After she lost her temper, she held Princess Lin'an's catkin and said, "What happened later, was the prince who saved you?"
The status of the prince is completely different from that of other princes. Except for the queen, all the concubines in the harem must be called princes, and cannot be called "my son" or "emperor".
Lin'an wrinkled his nose to the prince, and complained: "The prince's elder brother has no such ability, every time Huaiqing bullies me, he just uses his words and doesn't help me beat Huaiqing."
The prince smiled wryly and shook his head.
The imperial concubine became more and more curious, glanced at the prince, and held her daughter's hand: "Tell me about it?"
Lin'an's charming peach blossom eyes suddenly bloomed: "I took a small gong today Well, it was the day before yesterday, and I brought it with me today to send it away. me."
"Tonggong" Concubine Chen Gui frowned, "Is it a beating?"
"Yeah." Lin'an said: "I know that my concubine doesn't like beating people, because those are Wei Yuan's people, but he is mine."
Concubine Chen Gui smiled and nodded: "Does Your Majesty have any rewards?"
"Of course there are." The prince answered.
"I also have to reward you here," Concubine Chen Gui said solemnly, "I'll send someone to the storeroom to pick up some jewelry and send them over."
The reward from the imperial concubine, of course, cannot be a courtier, but should be a female family member of the courtier's family.
When the prince heard this, he suddenly frowned, "Then when did Xu Qi'an become yours?"
Princess Lin'an immediately raised her snow-white chin, and said proudly: "I snatched it from Huaiqing."
"Does Huaiqing know?"
"I know."
"Then she didn't teach you a lesson?"
"She dared to teach me a lessonII will take Xu Qi'an to see her when I turn around, so that I can not only protect her, but also anger her." Speaking of this, Princess Lin'an was happy for her wit
In the season of December, it is dark when it is dark.
When we set off from Yamen, the sun was still hanging in the western sky, stubbornly dyeing the clouds into its own shape andcolor.
When we arrived at Xu's Mansion, the sky was completely dark, and the lanterns were lit up, reflecting the pedestrians returning late, the attics and tile houses.
The blue sky, the bamboo lanterns, the antique buildings Every time Xu Qi'an sees this scene, he hates himself for not learning to draw.
At this point, Xu's Mansion has closed, and Lao Zhang, the concierge, knows that Da Lang never leaves the door.
So when Xu Qi'an knocked on the door, Lao Zhang's face was full of surprise.
"Call the mansion to come and move things." Xu Qi'an ordered.
Moving things?
Lao Zhang glanced over Xu Dalang's shoulder, looked at the three carriages behind him, and the watchmen who were traveling with him
In the front hall, a family of four was having dinner. Xu Lingyue still didn't wait for her elder brother to have dinner together today. It was strange to think of him. She lowered her head and asked, "Elder brother hasn't been home for dinner on time for many days."
The candle was flickering, her long eyelashes caught the light, and her sharp oval face shone with a luster like warm jade.
With a fair and beautiful oval face and a pure and weak posture, if you put on a sailor suit, it is a school flower that conforms to the public's aesthetics.
Well, she is still a mixed-race school girl, Xu Lingyue's facial features are deeper and more three-dimensional than ordinary girls.
"I'll leave some food for my elder brother." Xu Lingyin and her sister are completely different extremes. If her elder brother is not around, no one will compete with her for food.
Holding the chopsticks in the stubby little hands, the chopsticks are flying like flying, and the talent is amazing.
"Isn't it time for a monthly salary in a few days?" Auntie glanced at Second Uncle.
Second Uncle Xu bowed his head to eat, and said "um".
In fact, he has already overdrawn his monthly salary for this month. As the year approaches, the entertainment and gifts among his colleagues are all wasted money
Anyway, Ning Yan didn't marry a wife, so let's borrow his salary to deal with it first. Uncle Xu thought to himself.
"At the end of the year, I have to make clothes for Lingyue Lingyin and Dalang Erlang, and I don't have enough money." My aunt sighed.
Before I went to Yunlu Academy last month, my family still had savings of dozens of taels of silver, but when I came back, it was empty
My aunt wanted to tear my second uncle up on the spot, asking if he was out fooling around.
It was Xu Dalang and Xu Erlang who guaranteed their personalities, and all the money was used to run relationships and do business, and they were definitely not fooling around.
Aunt believed it.
Although Xu Dalang is annoying, he has a stubborn personality and never tells lies. Xu Erlang is a scholar. He has been strict since he was a child, and he is a sensible child.
"It's just a matter of a few taels of silver." Second Uncle Xu didn't care.
Auntie glanced at him: "I want to buy a brocade."
Second Uncle Xu raised his head in surprise. He didn't think that the family's current financial situation could afford a piece of brocade a foot or two.
Auntie would count on him, saying that after Erlang Chunwei, if he wins, his status will be different, and he can't keep wearing the previous robe, no matter how precious it is, it won't be able to hold up.
Lingyue has reached the age of marriage, and the dresses in the closet should be refurbished.
Second Uncle Xu listened absent-mindedly, humming and perfunctory casually.
Snapped!
Aunt slapped the chopsticks on the table, and everyone looked over together.
Auntie picked up the chopsticks expressionlessly again, "Eat."
Uncle Xu said helplessly: "During the tax and bank case, we all emptied our homes. I asked my colleagues to borrow the rice noodles for the first month. Let's wait until next year, and I will definitely buy them next year."
Aunt lowered her head, not showing him her reddish eye sockets.
"Be careful, be careful Don't touch the wall, if it gets dirty, I won't cut you."
The concierge Lao Zhang's scolding sound came.
Second Uncle Xu was in a bad mood, frowning and looking, the servants of the mansion came in cautiously under the command of the gatekeeper Lao Zhang, carrying bundles of silks and satins.
Auntie widened Kazilan's big eyes, and watched in disbelief as bolts of bright and beautiful satin moved in.
"It's so beautiful" Xu Lingyue exclaimed.
Lu'e also widened her eyes, salivating.
Only Xu Lingyin loved food faithfully, with her face buried in the bowl, her cheeks bulging.
"Where, where did you get these?" Second Uncle Xu asked blankly.
The concierge Lao Zhang spread out a piece of coarse cloth, spread it on the ground, ordered his servants to put down the silk, and replied: "Da Lang brought it back, and said it was given to him by His Majesty."
His Majesty bestowed it? Uncle Xu's first reaction was that the Sangbo case was solved?
?As an imperial sword guard, he is usually on duty in the outer city, but he doesn't even know who is in the inner city. The Sangbo case has caused a lot of trouble in the inner city, but people with insufficient status cannot get access to relevant information.
Thinking that he had been stuck in the Qi training state for nearly twenty years, Second Uncle felt gloomy. But soon, this sense of melancholy was washed away by joy: "Where is Ning Yan?"
"Outside the door Your Majesty rewarded a total of five hundred bolts of silk." The porter Lao Zhang said happily.
"Click!"
The chopsticks in my aunt's hand fell on the table.
ps: There is still a chapter at 12 o'clock. For the sake of my hard work, please ask for a monthly pass. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)??But people with insufficient identities have no access to relevant information.
