The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 673

Once women have a common secret, their feelings for each other tend to heat up quickly.

This is the case with the Queen and Concubine Wu.

Since accepting the 'exercise' suggestion that day, the frequency of Concubine Wu's visits to Chuxiu Palace has increased significantly, and the Empress also goes to Zhongcui Palace from time to time.

After the two met, they didn't discuss the two memorials every time, but from time to time they would test each other a few words.

However, these temptations are only at the level of mutual tacit understanding, like superficial water, they will not and dare not touch the real taboo, but they are just right, and they can cause ripples in each other's hearts.

Just the right heartbeat speed up, the satisfaction brought by peeping into the secret, the infinite association of pushing yourself and others...

Although it was absurd to say it, but this incident gradually became a rare adjustment in the boring daily life of two people locked in the palace.

By the end of June, this small adjustment was fixed and became a repertoire of the two of them in their spare time.

Every afternoon, the Empress and Concubine Wu would sit solemnly or lazily on both sides of the coffee table with a pot of tribute tea of ​​appropriate strength, enjoying the mutual testing and tacit fun.

On the afternoon of June 23, the tea party at Chuxiu Palace was held as usual, but Concubine Wu Guifei seemed a little absent-minded.

The queen was not surprised by this, after all, Concubine Wu Gui was on duty tomorrow, and it happened that Jiao Shun was going to the palace to give a lecture—that is to say, Concubine Wu Gui was about to face someone Jiao in front of the king.

Although there had been drills before, Concubine Wu Gui was obviously in a state of confusion because of this.

"If my sister is not at ease."

The queen leaned her tall body forward slightly, and said with a smile: "How about taking that Ding Hai Shen Zhen back now, with it here, naturally there is no need to be afraid of anything."

"What Dinghai Shenzhen?"

Concubine Wu Gui was confused.

"Hey~"

The queen immediately pouted at the wooden box in the corner, and said with a smile: "With it, Jiao Shun's wealth and life are all controlled by his younger sister, isn't it the same as Dinghai Shenzhen?"

What she was talking about was obviously the two secret books.

Only then did Concubine Wu realize that she was teasing herself again, she spit out angrily, and retorted: "I don't dare to touch my mother's words. Want to overturn the river and the sea?"

It's a bit funny to say, but every time she thinks of the dignified and graceful queen reading the memorial carefully, she is even more unable to extricate herself from imagining the content written in the memorial.

But the queen thought of herself and others, thinking that she also thought of the repertoire in the memorial, and couldn't help sighing quietly: "I don't know what novel and interesting things that Jiao Changqing will prepare for Brother Yao this time."

"Yeah, it's really curious."

Concubine Wu Gui also nodded curiously in agreement.

The two of them coincidentally wandered away, but what they thought about each other had nothing to do with Jiao's class preparation.

…………

At the same time, Jiao's backyard.

Xiangling walked into the living room of the main room with a small jar in her hand, and saw Qingwen cleaning the Duobao Pavilion with a feather duster, so she hurriedly stepped forward to show it to her and said, "Sister, the old lady just sent another jar of plums, Said it was for the wife's appetizer."

"Let's put it in the small kitchen first."

Qingwen stopped what she was doing, cast her eyes at the plum jar, and sighed helplessly: "These sour things can almost fill the whole room, even if my wife can eat sour, it's okay to eat like this." It's off-putting."

Xiangling agreed, and was about to send the jar of Huamei to the small kitchen first. She didn't want to bump into Yuchuan just as she was going out, and she couldn't help but drag her into a corner, directly lifted the lid, squeezed two pieces and threw them into her mouth.

Seeing that her facial features were all wrinkled by the sourness, but she was still chewing desperately, Xiangling couldn't help but said speechlessly: "You are not pregnant, so is it useful to eat so much sourness?"

Yu Chuan finally swallowed the flesh, bared his white teeth and said, "What do you know, it's called being prepared! Besides, this is not an ordinary plum, it was specially enshrined in the Empress Temple!"

"Then, if the old lady finds out..."

"If you don't tell me or I don't tell you, who would know? Besides, my wife can't afford it alone!"

As Yuchuan said, she gritted her teeth and twisted a few more, and was about to stuff them into her mouth when she suddenly saw Hongyu trotting back from the outside. Afraid of being bumped into, she quickly wrapped her hand in a handkerchief and stuffed it into her sleeve, as a guilty conscience slipped into the East Wing.

Seeing this, Xiangling puffed out her cheeks and sighed, then walked towards the small kitchen with the jar in her arms.

When she arrived at the door of the small kitchen, she suddenly remembered something, looked around and shook the jar vigorously, and waited until no one could see that it was missing, and then brought it into the small kitchen.

the other side.

Hongyu walked quickly into the main room, and was about to pass the news inside, when she saw Qingwen present, she hurriedly stopped and reported carefully: "Sister, the third girl from Rongguo Mansion is here."

"The third girl is here?"

Qingwen frowned slightly when she heard the words, and subconsciously wanted to ask if Baoyu had come, but she held back immediately, waved her hand lightly and said, "Quickly go and report to your wife."

If she had been in Yihong Courtyard back then, she would definitely have taken over as a substitute, but now she has long since lost her desire to be competitive.

Only then did Hongyu enter the inner room, and reported the news of Tanchun's visit to Shi Xiangyun.

"The third sister is here?"

Shi Xiangyun was about to jump up subconsciously, but was quickly held down by Cuilu's hands and eyes.

Only then did she remember that she was having an abortion, so she made a grimace at Cuilu, stood up cautiously, and asked Hongyu, "Is it just the third sister? Where are the second brother Bao, the second sister, and the fourth sister?"

"Only one of the three girls."

"That……"

Shi Xiangyun originally wanted to go out to meet him in person, but seeing Cui Yun's attitude as if he was facing a formidable enemy, it was obviously impossible to agree, so he had no choice but to say: "Cui Lu, go and meet him for me."

Cui Ling responded, and was about to tell Hong Yu to stay and take care of her, when she suddenly remembered something, so she hurriedly waved her hand at Hong Yu, signaling her to step back for now.

After Hongyu left, Cuihui approached Shi Xiangyun's puzzled gaze, and whispered, "Should we take precautions?"

"Beware? Beware of what?"

Shi Xiangyun just felt baffled.

"Naturally..."

Seeing that her own girl is going to be a mother, Cuihui still doesn't understand, she stamped her feet anxiously: "Didn't you forget? The third girl will also marry in the future, in case she doesn't want you to give birth to an eldest son..."

"Haha~"

Before she finished speaking, Shi Xiangyun leaned back and forth with a smile, and when Cui Yu hurried to help her, she heard her scolding with a smile: "I'm afraid you have read too many stories, you little hoof? Why don't you rush to meet the third sister, and dare to talk nonsense , be careful, I will tell the master!"

Seeing that she didn't believe her at all, Cui Hui could only go out angrily.

Not long after, Jia Tanchun was invited into the room, and as soon as he entered, he smiled and said: "I haven't been here for more than half a month. I don't want you to change the layout again."

"No way."

Shi Xiangyun pulled her to sit down, motioned for Cui Ling to serve tea, and said with a smile: "It's just that there is a small kitchen in the courtyard, so how can it be called a change of layout?"

As he spoke, he shook his head and smiled wryly: "I'm not afraid of making fun of you when I say it out. I'm acting like I'm deliberately trying to make things difficult for others. I'm greedy when I think of anything, and I feel sick to my stomach when I do it."

"What's this?"

Jia Tanchun said indifferently: "I think when Sister Feng was upset, she wanted to eat fish in the middle of the night, but she felt disgusted when it was brought in. She didn't want to eat it herself, but she insisted on stopping others from eating it, saying yes. It’s not good if you get the smell on your body—in the end, all the fish in the big pot went bad.”

"This seems like something that Sister Feng can do!"

Shi Xiangyun laughed straight after hearing this, and then asked why no one else came.

"Second elder sister has been ill since returning home at the beginning of the month; second elder brother was arguing with the master for several days about whether to go to the Yamen, and finally got so angry that he almost suffered from sunstroke. The old lady sent a message to ask him to take care of him at home—— As for the fourth younger sister, she used to believe in being quiet and doing nothing, but now she is even more reluctant to move around."

Tanchun briefly explained a few words, and while Cuilu was going outside to get some snacks, he leaned forward slightly and asked in a low voice, "By the way, does Brother Jiao have any countermeasures for the Lin family's affairs?"

"This……"

Shi Xiangyun frowned, Lin Daiyu's matter has not been settled yet, so naturally she would not disclose it to Tanchun casually.

As for whether Lin Ruhai will be held accountable...

"Master said, I'm afraid he won't be able to intervene in this matter. If he really wants to count on it, he still has to count on the empress to think the same way in the palace."

"So, the empress already knows?"

"Of course I know, it was only when the master entered the palace ten days ago..."

At this point, Shi Xiangyun suddenly woke up, stopped talking and asked tentatively: "Could it be that uncle and aunt didn't mention this to the third sister?"

Jia Tanchun shook his head helplessly: "I only know that my mother sent the family letter back—it was my idea to bring that family letter to Brother Jiao for review, but I kept it from me when we discussed it afterwards."

After a pause, she added: "But I guessed a lot in private."

"Ah~"

Shi Xiangyun also sighed helplessly, intending to complain a few words about the Rongguo Mansion's way of life, but in line with the rules of taboo for the venerable, it is inconvenient to speak - after all, Tanchun is Jia Zheng's daughter anyway.

At this moment, Cui Ling came back again, and said to the two with a smile: "Miss Lin said that Miss San is here, so she hurried over from the guest house."

While speaking, Lin Daiyu picked up the curtain and walked in.

When the three of them met, it was natural for them to be affectionate again.

After she was seated again, Lin Daiyu covered her mouth with a round fan and jokingly said, "I don't know if the third younger sister is here to visit her today, or to seek her scriptures. If she is here to learn scriptures, I dare not disturb her here."

Jia Tanchun was not easy to get along with, so he smiled and said: "This sutra is no better than the Shurangama Sutra or the Lotus Sutra. My sister can use it in the future after listening to it, so what do you say to disturb me?" .”

The two bickered for a while, but in the end Tanchun, who had seen and eaten before, prevailed.

Shi Xiangyun was about to be a peacemaker, when he suddenly heard some noise outside, he signaled Cuilu to go out and ask, only to find out that Jiao Shun sent someone to send a box back.

"Mostly it's another toy for children."

Shi Xiangyun held his belly full of happiness, and Tanchun felt slightly sour just looking at it.

Lin Daiyu asked curiously, "What is it this time? Come on, let's take a look."

Saying that, he got up first and walked out.

Shi Xiangyun also hurriedly got up to follow, but before going out, Tanchun gently grabbed him, and asked in his ear, "What will Sister Lin do when the Lin family's affairs break out?"

"This……"

Shi Xiangyun hesitated for a moment, and finally let it out a little bit: "With Master here, I can always protect Sister Lin one or two."

Tanchun is so smart, she guessed a bit right away, and she couldn't help sighing secretly, before she was worried that once she became the daughter of a prisoner, she would be replaced by Lin Daiyu. The odds of being a woman are actually before and above her own!
I don't know if sister Yuanchun in the palace has a way to get Rongguo Mansion out of this matter.

When Tanchun came to the outside room full of thoughts, he saw Qingwen and Hongyu carrying a wooden horse out of the box.

"Just a Trojan horse?"

Lin Daiyu was a little surprised, she stretched out her hand to press the wooden horse's ear, and said, "I'm still Brother Jiao, what have I prepared..."

Just as she was speaking, the wooden horse that she was shaking suddenly made faint music.

Lin Daiyu let out a 'huh', and shook it vigorously again. This time, she used a lot more force, and the sound of the music became clearer.

Shi Xiangyun and Tanchun came up curiously, and tried to shake the wooden horse, and found that the music played was different with different strengths. Although there were only three tunes in total, it was amazing enough.

Lin Daiyu pulled Shi Xiangyun, and pointedly said: "How many people can be like Brother Jiao, who can't forget these thoughts when they are busy with official duties? You should stop those messy thoughts as soon as possible, and just calm down and raise your baby." It's serious!"

Hearing this, it was obvious that she still felt that Xiangyun's proposal at that time was caused by emotional instability after pregnancy.

Shi Xiangyun sighed secretly, but he didn't know how to explain it.

Afterwards, the three of them went back to gossiping in the room, and it wasn't until late in the evening that Tanchun declined Shi Xiangyun's persuasion and returned to the Rongguo Mansion.

When I returned to Qiushuangzhai, I saw that Wang Xifeng had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as he saw Tanchun, he hurriedly pulled her to sit down at the table, and asked her about what she had seen and heard in Jiao's residence.

The main focus is what did Shi Xiangyun buy around him, and what special treatment did he get.

After asking all the details clearly, Wang Xifeng held her lower abdomen with a sour face, and said: "Huh~ That friend treats Yun girl very attentively, and when I get pregnant, he must do it one by one——No, It has to be doubled!"

Tanchun was speechless for a while.

After a while, he couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said, "Why is my sister-in-law still thinking about these things? Don't you worry at all that the Lin family's affairs will be implicated in our house?"

"Didn't you just say it all, did you depend on your empress for this matter?"

Wang Xifeng held her belly unmoved, and said with a sneer, "If the sky falls, there will be a tall one to support it, so what can we do no matter how much we worry about it? Besides, when I get pregnant, the enemy will never be able to Just watch me fall into trouble, don’t you?”
