My wife has a secret

Chapter 254 Drinking Together
When Xu Qing came to Feishuang Palace, he had already bathed, changed clothes, and smoked incense with the help of the palace maids.

Now, he is dressed in fine clothes and a magnificent crown, and with his young and handsome appearance, he really has the temperament of a distinguished man.

"well."

Queen Mother Xu pursed her red lips, as if she saw the shadow of her sister in this nephew, and nodded in praise.

After the palace maids served all the dishes, Xu Qing took the initiative to step forward and put the things his aunt liked to eat in order according to his memories of his previous life and introduced them to her.

Empress Dowager Xu, who often eats vegetarian food, would also taste delicacies at state banquets and festivals, but the hot pot recommended by Xu Qing was different from her previous way of eating, which gave her a complete sense of novelty.

In addition, the peppers shipped from Sichuan and Chongqing are spicy and delicious, with bright colors and full flavor, making the meal delicious.

"When you were little, I was worried that you were dull and slow, and would be easily bullied. Now it seems that Qing'er is full of clever ideas, and she will not make others suffer but herself."

Queen Mother Xu finished her comment with a smile, and then passed on the order, "Lord Lianhua, a few days ago during the Cold Food Festival, officials from all over the country offered tribute of local wine. Take it out and let Qing'er have a taste."

"Yes."

After Lianhuajun bowed his head and responded, Xu Qing quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "Aunt, Qing'er is not good at drinking and can't drink."

"When Qing'er was in Suzhou, didn't he love to go out for a walk and drink? When did he lose his ability to drink?"

When Xu Qing heard her aunt mention it, she remembered that the previous incarnation of this body often lingered in red-light districts, and his behavior would be reported to her aunt by Chengxuanfang.

No one would believe that this playboy doesn't like drinking.

Therefore, Xu Qing had no choice but to agree and promised to have a few drinks with his aunt.

……

Because he had promised his aunt to drink wine during the day, Xu Qing still stayed in Feishuang Palace.

However, the tribute wines from various places are not like the food that has been prepared in advance, and are quite troublesome to prepare.

The palace maids were busy running around, reporting to the higher authorities in the kitchen, taking out more than 20 kinds of tribute wine stored in the cellars, arranging the cups and mixing them together. It was already night.

After drinking with my aunt, it was already late.

"Aunt, it's getting late. Qing'er will go back first."

Seeing a blush on his aunt's beautiful face, Xu Qing knew that the time was almost up.

The strength of these tribute wines varies. For some of them, you won't feel much when you first drink them, but after eating some side dishes, you can feel a strong burning sensation in your lower abdomen.

Although there are various desserts and sweet soups in the palace to relieve greasiness, the amount of tribute wine is so large that no one can resist mixing them together.

But what was a little strange was that Xu Qing didn't feel drunk even though he drank so much. Instead, his aunt, who had only drunk a few glasses of wine, became a little abnormal.

She seemed to be in a half-drunk state, as if a sunset glow was reflected on her face, along with her blood-pumping body, showing her moving charm.

My aunt, who is usually dignified and majestic, and always acts like an elder, is also like this in private.

"The wine on the table hasn't been finished yet."

"Aunt, you are drunk."

"I am drunk?"

Empress Dowager Xu looked at Xu Qing with hazy eyes and her slightly drunk face seemed to be embedded in the candlelight.

She half-lay on the table in front of her and spoke word by word: "Qing'er, do you also feel that my aunt is different from ordinary women? She only thinks about herself and values ​​power over status."

Xu Qing also didn't expect that his aunt would take the initiative to express her true feelings to him.

He had no choice but to give the standard answer: "The achievements made by my aunt will last for thousands of years and cannot be evaluated by people in this world today."

"For thousands of years?"

Empress Dowager Xu stood up from the table and walked a little closer to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing could see from the other person's palm that his aunt's delicate palm had turned red and seemed to be very drunk.

Moreover, when his aunt was close to him, the distance between them was very close, and a fragrance with a slight sweat came from the opposite side, like fresh fruit picked from a sweet place, which made Xu Qing feel embarrassed.

Not only was my aunt drunk, her body was also burning hot. It seemed that she seldom drank alcohol.

"It's fine if those people fooled my aunt, but Qing'er, you also want to fool me... When my aunt first entered the palace, she was only sixteen years old. At that time, because of her beautiful face, she was often bullied in the palace."

Queen Mother Xu recalled the past in a bitter voice.

"Many old palace maids were jealous of me and hated me, so they sent my aunt to do odd jobs and carry urinals for the least favored concubines and nobles. The concubines I served were sensible and generous on the surface, but they spoke ill of my aunt in secret and even plotted to harm me."

Xu Qing remained silent and just listened quietly.

"Because that old man is obsessed with elixirs and often travels back and forth between the harems. They were afraid that he would see me by chance, so they set up a trap to accuse me of stealing, let the eunuchs in the palace scratch my face, and then drive me out."

When Empress Dowager Xu said this, the distressed tone in her voice disappeared, leaving only a faint cruelty.

Her current state is like a female snake eyeing its prey, with sharp eyes.

"How can I sit and wait for death? My purpose of entering the palace was for you. How can I become a superior person without suffering?"

Empress Dowager Xu suddenly smiled, her cheeks rippled with spring waves, and her sharp almond-shaped eyes curved into two curves as she looked at Xu Qing with loving care.

"So my aunt took the initiative and used the trick on the maid who had designed it. She also made a big fuss about the matter and summoned the old man to sit in. From then on, my aunt would compete with others for everything."

"Thank you for your hard work, aunt."

Xu Qing didn't know what to say, so he had to deal with the other party for the time being so that the empress could calm her mind and fall asleep early.

"Silly boy."

Queen Mother Xu gently stroked Xu Qing's cheek, and the love in her heart surged like a tide.

For some reason, she suddenly boldly spoke out what was in her mind, "Qing'er, do you know that Emperor Qi Heng had ruined his body long before your aunt entered the palace? The reason he sought elixirs was to cure his impotence."

"I do not know."

This incident was considered a strange anecdote at the time and was forbidden to be spread within the imperial palace. Perhaps only Emperor Qi Heng himself and those around him knew about it.

"So until now, my aunt is still a virgin, has never had sex, and doesn't know what it feels like to be a woman..."

Empress Dowager Xu moved slightly, and her delicate body moved closer to Xu Qing.

The outer cloak of the imperial robe slipped halfway off her body, inadvertently exposing most of her slender, snow-white neck. The lines of her collarbone from top to bottom were graceful, and her skin was smooth and shiny, truly a sight to behold.

"Qing'er, the bad things you did that day while I was asleep...I know it all in my heart, but I was struggling so hard at that time that I didn't know how to face you."

Xu Qing still had some sense left, and hurriedly advised: "Auntie..."

However, before he could finish his words, Empress Dowager Xu blocked his throat with a slender jade finger.

"After drinking today, I mustered up the courage to do things that I wouldn't normally do. Anyway, aunt has just figured it out. The person I love most in this world is Qing'er. Giving my body to you is also aunt's own wish." Empress Dowager Xu stroked Xu Qing's cheek and whispered, "Qing'er should also do this for aunt, helping aunt realize this dream of being a woman."

Although Empress Dowager Xu was a little naughty when she was young, she learned etiquette before entering the palace and had already become an excellent woman with good upbringing, knowledge and manners.

Naturally, she was also well versed in the Four Books and Five Classics, and knew how bold and unconventional her current actions were.

"aunt."

Xu Qing's last call was an answer.

In fact, what Empress Dowager Xu did not know was that even though she loved Xu Qing the most, the predecessor of this body had disappeared before falling into the water.

Physically and mentally, I am no longer the nephew that Empress Dowager Xu has been thinking about all the time.

Therefore, the idea of ​​violating moral principles does not seem to exist.

"Qing'er, do you think your aunt is beautiful?"

Queen Mother Xu opened her cloak, closed her eyes, and trembled slightly.
Now, she is still wearing clothes, shoes and socks, but her front is completely naked, revealing every detail and all the beauties.

Everything is perfect.

The empress, who was once high and mighty, looked like a simple, honest, and lovely young girl after taking off her clothes.

Xu Qing gently pushed him down on the table in the hall.

……

"The maid helped her up, weak and feeble, and it was the beginning of her new grace. With her hair like clouds and her face like flowers, and her golden hairpins, she spent the night in the warm lotus tent."

……

When Xu Qing was sent out of the palace by Lianhua Jun, he still felt that the experience of the past month was too strange and like a dream.

If Xu Qing had not heard from the palace maid beside him that his aunt had missed the morning court for two days since that day, he would have realized that the drunkenness that night was not a dream, but something he had experienced personally.

But he was still deeply shocked for the next few days, until Lord Lianhua came to tell him that the saint's confinement time had expired and he could go home.

To be honest, Xu Qing really wanted to see his aunt again before leaving the palace.

But the other party obviously didn't know how to face him. From the hint from Lord Lianhua, he learned that the saint had no intention of summoning him.

Xu Qing knew her aunt's temper well, so she packed her things and took some specialties from the palace back home.

When we arrived at the Guangping Marquis' Mansion in a carriage, we saw that the people of the capital had surrounded the mansion so tightly that no one could get in or out. Some people even stood on the walls and tree trunks, looking towards the gate of the mansion.

Xu Qing asked Lian Huajun who was driving the car and found out that three days before he was to leave the palace, the news that he was about to leave had already spread on the streets.

Naturally, all the wives and concubines of the four rooms of the Xu family came out in full force and waited at the gate of the mansion in advance to welcome him.

The reason why the people gathered together was very simple. Many high-ranking officials who had been under house arrest in the past were released. The reason why they did not come to see others but to come to the Mansion of Marquis Guangping was because Marquis Guangping's wives and concubines were young and beautiful, each of them had an unparalleled appearance, like fairies from heaven.

Not to mention the most famous and powerful first wife Shen and second wife Yang, even fourth wife Qin was a very popular courtesan in the capital a few years ago, and it would cost a thousand taels of gold just to see her once.

And it's not just men who are lustful, even women have a love for the beauty of these women.

Normally, when they heard what kind of clothes the young ladies of the Xu family wore, all the girls would take it as a fashion trend and scramble to imitate it. Not to mention the four beauties living together now, how splendid and beautiful they were, it was a feast for the eyes.

"So that's it."

After listening to Lianhua Jun's explanation, Xu Qing felt a little amused.

He didn't expect that his wives and concubines could cause such a big disturbance. He suddenly felt that no one in the Marquis' Mansion would have to worry about their livelihood.

As long as he puts on a catwalk show and lets these four take turns walking the runway, he can support his family with the ticket money.

Of course, this idea is just a joke.

If he simply expressed this idea to others, he would be met with the cold stares and disgust of his wives and concubines, and would feel terrified by their looks.

“Make way!”

The imperial guards were still protecting Xu Qing.

The onlookers had already prepared for this, and before the carriage drove in, no matter how crowded the surrounding alleys and street corners were, they would not occupy the road in front of the mansion.

Because the imperial guards had received the order, the cavalrymen who cleared the way in advance would regard any vendors or passers-by who blocked the road as treason and robbery, and would trample on them with their horses' hooves.

Therefore, there was enough space left on the main road and no one dared to stand.

Seeing that the people around them were so tactful, the Imperial Guards knights did not say anything and acquiesced to the onlookers standing on both sides.

After Xu Qing got off the carriage, his four wives and concubines standing in front of the mansion gate, along with their personal maids, bowed and saluted at the same time.

For a moment, this beautiful scene appeared before everyone's eyes, causing Xu Qing to become jealous and envied by countless men.

"Damn! What kind of life is this! It's so infuriating!"

"Yeah! Comparing yourself to others makes you feel pissed off!"

Many loud and angry voices were heard in the field, causing Xu Qing to smile bitterly and shake his head.

These people only see the pigs running but not the pigs eating meat. They have come here through many hardships, and it is not as easy as outsiders think.

Not to mention, these four wives and concubines... each have their own ideas and opinions, and it is not like what the rumors say, that they can entertain whomever they want.

"Husband, thank you for your hard work."

Qin Shuying from the fourth room was originally standing at the end of the rooms.

However, because she was eloquent and had a lively mind, and because she was often involved in various matters in the mansion, she was nominated by the other families to speak in front of the mansion gate to express each family's longing for their husband.

Hearing Qin Shuying's sweet voice that sounded like the sound of nature, the people around her felt hatred flaring up in anger.

"I heard from the palace maids that my husband has been following the Buddhist teachings these days and has not had breakfast... Let's go to the mansion to eat something first, and then we'll welcome him later."

"it is good."

Xu Qing responded simply, because he was too embarrassed to say that he often slept in in the palace and had long lost the habit of eating breakfast.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace are quite good at covering up for themselves and even know how to make up excuses.

Qin Shuying smiled slightly, and signaled the servants at the door to make way for her family to enter the house.

The crowd watching outside the mansion stood on tiptoe, trying their best to look inside, until the figures of the people in the Xu Mansion gradually faded away and the servants closed the heavy door. Only then did everything end.

Even so, many people who came to join in the fun gathered outside the mansion and commented on the looks of the four wives and concubines of the Xu family.
