box of hearts

Chapter 143 Congratulations to the Groom (13)
Qiao Yun changed his mind, he climbed out of bed, and climbed onto Zhang Ruijiao's bed at the other end.

Zhang Ruijiao woke up in pain in the dreamland. She knew it was her husband, but his rough behavior was completely different from the gentleness of the past.Shocked and frightened, she wanted to push him away, but her fingers touched a bit of coldness hanging from his neck.Qiao Yun pushed his wife's hand away and clamped her mouth.

It didn't take long for Qiao Yun to feel the wet and greasy touch in the palm of his hand. It was Zhang Ruijiao's tears and snot.He turned her face down and closed his eyes at the same time.He hadn't seen Qingtian for a long, long time, but he could still see her come to life effortlessly: her face of a holy goddess, her body of a filthy whore.The stone pendant she gave him was like a living heart, beating his chest constantly.

After all kinds of efforts, Qiao Yun failed to get off Zhang Ruijiao's back.He can't get out anyway.On the other hand, Zhang Ruijiao was groping for something coming out of her lower body in a daze, crying loudly.

8.
At that time, Zhang Ruijiao saw red, and before dawn, she had a miscarriage. The doctor diagnosed that the fetus was aroused due to intercourse.Zhang Yanshu was furious, but his daughter defended her son-in-law in every possible way, so she had no choice but to think that it was an unintentional mistake of a young man who was young and scolded Qiao Yunze severely, so he gave up.

After Shangshu Zhang Yanshu lost his grandson, within half a month, another bad news spread in the Ministry of Households: the left servant Zheng Zhi's family respect, Mrs. Zheng, died of a sudden illness in his hometown of Guangping, Hebei.As soon as Zheng Shilang heard the obituary, he put on sackcloth and filial piety and lived in the mansion for the funeral.The regent immediately issued a condolence order, which was immediately approved.

It was the [-]th day of the lunar month, and it was snowing from the sky.When the snow melts, many things that were once covered and overwhelmed will reappear.

In the value room of the main hall of Chongding Courtyard, there was a slight sound on the vermilion lacquer-filled and gold-carved door——

"My lord, the Qianqing Palace should ask Eunuch Xi to see you."

Qi She raised her head behind the desk, put down the ink brush in her hand, and nodded to Zhou Dun outside the door, "Please."

Zhou Dun turned around and led Ying Xi into the room. Ying Xi was still old-fashioned, but his movements were brisk.

"Zhou Dun helped father-in-law get up, watch the seats, and give tea." Qi She made a fake speech, showing great enthusiasm, "Why is father-in-law so free for a while?"

Ying Xi thanked him a few times, got up and sat down on the small stool that Zhou Dun had passed by, the wrinkles on his face were layered, and he was smiling even if he wasn't smiling. "Damn it, the lord promoted this old slave to be the supervisor of ceremonies last month, and the old slave hasn't come to the lord to kowtow to thank him."

Qi She smiled and waved his hands, "It was the emperor's decree to promote the father-in-law, and the father-in-law only thanked the emperor for his kindness. Besides, the father-in-law has worked hard all these years, but he has always been stuck in the seat of the internal supervisor's palm. , It is really injustice. The position of chief inspector of the inner palace should have belonged to father-in-law long ago, and this is what everyone expects. From then on, all the ten thousand eunuchs in the palace are your father-in-law's disciples and grandchildren."

Ying Xi shook the little python on his body, turned up to the sky, and knelt down on the ground again, "If the prince hadn't opened his mouth to ask the emperor for the old slave, the old slave might not be able to wait until he is in the coffin today." An honor."

"Get up, father-in-law, why are you so polite? In the dragon robe case two years ago, father-in-law assisted Concubine Shou to sneak into the forbidden palace, which saved me from a catastrophe. Now I can finally repay father-in-law, and I am very happy .But Eunuch personally went to Chongding Courtyard today, probably not only to thank the king, but what orders does the emperor have?"

Ying Xi put his hand over the jade belt around his waist, and bowed his back forward, "There is nothing in this world that can be hidden from the prince. It was the emperor who said that there was a secret matter. Now I invite the prince to go to the Buddhist temple Yinghua in the palace." Let's go to the temple."

Qi She was slightly surprised, "The Palace of Yinghua?"

"That's what the emperor said." Ying Xi raised his eyes and looked at Qi She, seeming to be a bit embarrassed, "Oh, the servants can't help themselves. If there is anything from the superior, the old slave can only pass it on to the prince. Please forgive me for any inconvenience caused to the prince."

Qi She listened to what he said, and after thinking for a moment, he just smiled, "There is no inconvenience, father-in-law, go first, and the king will come after changing his clothes."

Yinghua Hall is further north of Shouan Palace on the west road outside the Inner Court. The snow in the courtyard has been cleared away, but there is still some residual snow on the bodhisattva on both sides of the high platform corridor.

Qi She's warm sedan was parked outside the courtyard, he went straight up the steps, and first saw Quan Fu, the young eunuch of the Compassionate Ning Palace, in front of the main hall.

"Why are you? Where is Eunuch Ying?"

"Returning to the prince," Quanfu's fox face was full of hesitation, without a trace of faltering, "the emperor is not in good health when he got up early today, and the queen mother is worried, so she asked the servants to come and take care of her. Oh, Mr. Zhou, yes Don't stop, you can't follow, the emperor ordered that the prince should have an audience alone."

Qi She had doubts in his heart, but he also said solemnly: "That Zhou Dun, you wait outside." Then he walked into the hall alone.He knelt down outside the tightly closed door fan in the left ear room of the hall, "Chen Qishe kowtowed to the emperor. I don't know if the emperor secretly summoned the ministers here, what's the matter—" He stared at the pair of Su-like eyes exposed by the door. flower shoes.

Qi She understood instantly, no wonder Yingxi's face looked distressed just now, it turned out that Xi He ordered him to deceive him to come here by falsely preaching the imperial decree.But since he came, he will be at ease, instead, he put on an attitude of listening and respecting, greeted respectfully, got up and entered.

The empty room is as clean as a cemetery, lonely men, widowed women.The man was wearing fox armpits with arrow sleeves and a coat with fox legs, but he still felt slightly chilly.

The woman was even more afraid of the cold, wrapped tightly in a golden emerald crane cloak, standing upright, but let the other party say, "Third Master, don't be formal, sit down."

Qi She hooked his head with his hands up, thanked him, and sat down on a low chair by the Kang.He was very tired of this kind of tricks, and he didn't understand why Xi He still wanted to pester him after many hints.And he couldn't come and go with her like he did with other concubines.He hated rejecting a woman, and even more hated rejecting the same woman repeatedly, and especially hated rejecting the same woman repeatedly.Qi She was full of anxiety and boredom, but could only sit still.

After being speechless for a short time, Xi He took the lead to break the silence, and under the dark clouds, her face was swaying and ethereal.

"I married the first emperor as my concubine when I was Jiji, and I was promoted to the empress dowager when I was less than 25 years old. The title of No. [-] in the world just refers to the widow of the emperor. There is a story about a widow who is young. The woman lost her husband and was orphaned. Every night, she would scatter a bunch of copper coins in the empty boudoir, and then pick them up one by one from the ground and count them carefully. In the end, thousands of copper coins were polished until they were shiny and fuzzy. These folk widows, and this story, there are local chastity archways to show them that it is not easy to keep chastity, and even if the queen mother keeps guarding until the empress dowager, no one will praise her. This palace is red and green. In the Wahei gutter, everyone only knows to admire the glory of the queen mother, but no one thinks of the suffering of the widow. Whenever the key is released at the palace gate, the noble queen mother can only lean on the pillow to listen to the watch, and sit and watch the long night. In winter, facing the A map for relieving cold, a plain plum on the paper, nine plum blossoms, nine petals, each petal represents a day, every day, a petal is dyed with color, all nine plum blossoms are dyed red, the plum blooms in winter, nine It's deep in spring. But this spring to her is just for the next cold picture in the next winter.

"In fact, as soon as a woman enters the palace wall, she becomes a widow. I remember that after Hong'er was two years old, the late emperor rarely came to me, and could only occasionally look at the sky with the queen mother and empress. Later, when concubine Shu entered the palace, we I never got close again, the sheep and carts never arrived, and the phoenix pillow was always alone. Every night, I faced my own shadow in the empty palace, and passed night after night like this. And there are 3000 beauties in the harem, who’s night is not like this Who hasn't received favors from being the only one to no one cares about? Nothing in this world can change faster than a man's heart who has a lot of women who want to be spoiled and who is also spoiled by a lot of women."

Looking down at the hands lying flat on his knees, Qi She still felt the gaze projected directly on his side face, like a needle prick.But in fact, that gaze is not half sharp, only tired.

Xihe moved his eyes away, sighed, and fixed his body in front of Qi She, "Brother-in-law, I don't want you to treat me wholeheartedly, I just ask you to go back to the palace to accompany me when you are free." Say a few words of kindness and let me stay in your arms for a while. Don't be so hard-hearted, just take pity on me. You don't know that every night, the only one who can hug you is your own. Arms, what does it feel like. Xihe doesn’t know many words, but there is a poem I don’t know when and where I saw it, but I can never forget it: “It seems to add sea water to the palace, and the total dripping from Nagato lasts overnight.” [11 ]”

She uttered each word in a low voice, her eyes filled with a layer of tears, it seemed that with just a slight touch, these tears would fall down endlessly, endlessly like a copper pot dripping in the deep palace in the middle of the night. "Brother-in-law, I don't care who you want to be married to, I just want to be with you, and the pillow will be thick." With a small arm stretched upwards, she tore open the loop in front of her neck.

The white fox lizi's cloak slipped off, and Qi She stared blankly at the naked woman's body in front of her as if struck by lightning.The pair of streamlined bulges are vibrating due to intense ups and downs, and the two scarlet dots on it are the perfect combination of love and hunger.A whole desert rose from his mouth, and the Buddhist hall melted like an illusion. The only reality was the most noble and beautiful young woman in the world wearing only a pair of embroidered shoes.
