The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 134

When she woke up the next day, it was already broad daylight, and the curtain in front of the bed was drawn, Xie Yujiao could only hear someone talking outside.

"My lord is too menglang. I know that I'm going to enter the palace today, so how can I make such a fuss about the wangfei?" Mama Liu watched Zhou Tianhao grow up, and now seeing him getting married, she changed her name to her lord. .

"Don't talk about it, mother. The emperor will be free to meet us after the imperial court. Let her sleep for a while, so it won't delay the time." Zhou Tianhao's voice sounded energetic, not at all like after being overworked. .

Xie Yujiao was just thinking about it, when she lifted the quilt, she realized that she was not covered with any strands, so she had to cover it again, and opened her mouth to call for people.It doesn't matter if you don't speak, but when you speak, you are startled. Xie Yujiao's voice was originally clear and sweet, but now it is a bit hoarse, and there is still a bit of pain in the deep part of her throat. It must be because she was too intense last night. The sound broke.

Zhou Tianhao heard the voice inside and stood up hastily. Seeing that the maids were bringing water to go in, he stopped him, took the water himself and said, "You guys wait here, I'll go in."

The maid responded, and only opened the curtain to let Zhou Tianhao in. Xie Yujiao took a look at Zhou Tianhao, saw that he was already fully dressed, she only felt a little blushing, and pointed to the small clothes on the hanger and said: "Bring that for me." .”

Zhou Tianhao went forward to take the bellyband, put it under his nose and sniffed it, Xie Yujiao looked disgusted when he saw him like that, reached out and snatched it away and said, "Look at your wretched spirit..."

Zhou Tianhao was not angry either. Seeing her wearing a small coat with her back on her back, he helped her tie it up behind her. Looking at the strings of red and white intertwined marks on her neck, she still felt distressed, and her words softened a bit: " I'm just being obscene with you."

Xie Yujiao snorted, turning over as if she was about to fall to the ground, but she still felt weak, her waist was sore and she had no strength at all, so Zhou Tianhao stretched out his hand and gently squeezed her a few times.

"I must pay attention to restraint in the future, can't it be done once a night?"

Xie Yujiao's back felt cold when she heard this, is it called temperance once a night?
Seeing her little face change color, Zhou Tianhao laughed immediately, twisted the handkerchief and asked Xie Yujiao to wipe her face, and fetched obscene pants for her to put on, then went outside and called the servant girls to come in to serve her.

After Xie Yujiao had rinsed her mouth and put her clothes on neatly, Mother Liu led a young daughter-in-law in, and introduced to Xie Yujiao, "Ma'am, this is a lady who combs your hair specially for you, and she is by your side at [-] o'clock every day." wait."

In fact, magpies used to comb Xie Yujiao's hair. It's just that after the magpies passed through the house two months ago, they became ill within a few days. It is not too late to come back after the baby is born and sits for the confinement period.

Xie Yujiao saw that although the woman who combed her hair was ordinary in appearance, she had fair skin and looked energetic, so she nodded and said, "I don't like too complicated hairstyles, just choose a simple and convenient one for me."

After hearing this, Mother Liu said, "Madam can be more casual at home on weekdays, but it's better to be a little more formal when she enters the palace today."

Seeing that what she said made sense, Xie Yujiao nodded and said, "Then let's listen to Mama Liu today, just be a little more formal."

The lady who combed her hair nodded when she heard about it, and Ziyan opened the dowry on the table, asking her to choose a set to show off today.Xie Yujiao's heads were custom-made by her own jewelry shop, and the gemstones on them were specially picked out by Xu Yu when he was traveling to the West, and they were reserved for Xie Yujiao and Xu Huiru's future dowry, so everything is a fine product. The lady was dazzled by looking at it, and after choosing for a long time, she chose a set of red gold inlaid with rubies and five phoenix beads.

Xie Yujiao was already delicate and charming, and she usually dressed plainly when she was at home, but now that she was dressed like this, she immediately became radiant and radiant.Except for the slight bruises under her eyelids, which are a little bit of an eyesore, the whole person is like a gorgeous red rose.

Mama Liu looked very satisfied and said, "Madam is really pretty. Everyone says that Concubine He Gui in the palace is the most beautiful woman in Jinling. I look at Madam and she is a bit better than her!"

When Xie Yujiao heard Liu's mother mention He Guifei, she had some impressions in her heart. She seemed to be the well-protected daughter of the He family, but she never thought that she had been named a noble concubine within a few months of entering the palace. .

Ordinarily they used to be relatives, maybe this Yuanshenzi met him when he was a child, but he doesn't know each other now.

The lady who combed her hair combed her hair, and took a small mirror to look behind Xie Yujiao a few times. Xie Yujiao only nodded in satisfaction. meal."

This girl is a quick learner, yesterday she was acting like she was jumping out, but today she has learned to behave herself, even her speech seems to be three-pointed, Xie Yujiao smiled and got up, when she entered the hall , Zhou Tianhao was already sitting there waiting for her.

Seeing how weak Liu Fufeng was in her actions, Zhou Tianhao blamed himself more and more.He obviously told himself in every possible way that the future would be long, but when he saw her like this, he forgot all the mess, and only wanted to rub her into his arms and love her fiercely.

"Breakfast is made by the royal chef who specializes in dim sum in the palace. I don't know your taste, so I asked him to prepare a few." Zhou Tianhao said, then took the chopsticks to add something to Xie Yujiao, and just looked at the man. The things on the table are a bit at a loss.

Xie Yujiao looked at the table full of dim sum and porridge with a dazed expression, pinched the chopsticks and didn't know where to start, she just frowned and said, "If you don't know my taste, just ask, the imperial chef is too honest, there are so many Things, don’t they have to start preparing from the third watch?”

Listening to Xie Yujiao's words, Zhou Tianhao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, Xie Yujiao smiled too, called Ziyan to come over, asked her to pick up a crystal siu mai, a quicksand bag, and a small half of spring rolls for him, and added A bowl of purple rice porridge.

Zhou Tianhao saw that she only ate these few things, so he just said: "You eat more, you will enter the palace later, and you don't know when you will be able to eat, so don't be hungry."

Xie Yujiao lowered her head and didn't speak, just ate slowly mouthful by mouthful. She picked up a shrimp dumpling and put it on Zhou Tianhao's plate. Then she remembered that he was allergic to fish, so she put it on her own plate again, and put the quicksand bag into Zhou Tianhao's plate. delivered to his plate.

"Eat more, too." After Xie Yujiao said this, she suddenly felt that the roots of her teeth were a little sore. The maid was standing up, and the two of them were not sour.

Mother Liu saw it in her heart, she was happy in her heart, why didn't she smile from ear to ear.

Two people ate the food at this table, but only moved a few things, Xie Yujiao got up, invited Mama Liu to sit down to eat, and said with a smile: "Mom will reward the maids after eating."

Mama Liu was embarrassed at first, and Zhou Tianhao said again: "Mom, there are no other elders in this palace, you are always the oldest in our palace, you can sit down and eat." Mama Liu couldn't help but agree, He also ordered the little maid to go outside to prepare the car, so she couldn't miss the time to enter the palace.

After Xie Yujiao and Zhou Tianhao had breakfast, they went back to their room and sat for a while. The servant girl brought tea in and rinsed their mouths. The two sat at each other speechless for a while.

Zhou Tianhao stretched out his hand to hold her hand again, and leaned into her ear and said, "Jiaojiao, you are finally mine."

Xie Yujiao blushed and said nothing, pursed her lips, looked at him with slightly raised eyebrows, glared at him and said, "Why are you so nervous, looking at me like this, haven't you seen enough?"

"I can't get enough of it in a lifetime!" Zhou Tianhao couldn't help but rubbed the back of Xie Yujiao's delicate hand, his eyes straightened when he looked at her.

Outside, Mother Liu had had her breakfast, and when she went to Zhang Luo to enter the palace, she called a few maidservants to sit down and eat together.

After all, Yuanyang was young this year, so she ate two extra bites, and Ziyan tugged at her sleeve.Yuanyang only raised her head in doubt, and glanced at Ziyan. Ziyan winked at her, and then she lowered her head and looked in the direction of Hongyuan and Luyi opposite.I saw that the two of them ate food without making any noise, and their movements were like flowing water. What was even more depressing was that they only ate the food in front of them and did not touch anything else.

Yuanyang remembered the way she stretched out her arms to hold things just now, and suddenly felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and she lost her appetite.

After breakfast for a while, the little maid outside came in and answered, saying that the carriage was ready.At this time, Xie Yujiao had already been embraced by Zhou Tianhao, hugged her tightly and kissed her once. Hearing the reply from the little maid outside, Xie Yujiao was so angry that she pushed Zhou Tianhao away, and sat in front of the dressing table to touch up her makeup.

Zhou Tianhao stood behind her and waited for her. Xie Yujiao raised her head and looked into the mirror, only to see that Zhou Tianhao's lips were still stained with the lip balm she had just used. They were all wiped clean.

Zhou Tianhao swayed her arms around her, and rubbed her cheeks vigorously, making Xie Yujiao's heart itch, and he turned his body to hide, and finally had no choice but to raise his head and say: "You are like this, Go to sleep in the study tonight."

Zhou Tianhao was at the time when he was eating his marrow to know the taste, and he wished he could have a spring night every night. After hearing this, he immediately became honest, and he only let go of Xie Yujiao, and let her sit and touch up her makeup.

The maid outside urged her two or three times before Xie Yujiao tidied herself up again, and Zhou Tianhao dragged her outside.

Yuanyang followed behind, she was young and a little ignorant, so she asked: "Sister Ziyan, why does the prince walk with the girl's hand, is it possible that she is afraid that the girl will fall?"

Ziyan's eyeballs rolled, and she didn't bother to explain to her, so she said casually: "Aila just pulled it, where are there so many reasons!"

This was not the first time Xie Yujiao entered the palace, but she was a little more nervous than last time, always feeling like an ugly daughter-in-law seeing her in-laws.Zhou Tianhao held her hand all the way, only feeling that her palms were sweating slightly, so he hugged her a little tighter.

Unfortunately, the weather is hot, and both of them are dressed in formal attire, so after a while, the heat will become unbearably hot.Fortunately, Zhou Tianhao carried a folding fan with him, so he fanned Xie Yujiao along the way.Only then did Xie Yujiao calm down a little bit, but she couldn't help asking: "When I entered the palace last time, I contradicted the emperor, will he still remember?"

Seeing her frowning look, Zhou Tianhao couldn't help laughing and said, "Brother Huang has a lot of things to do every day, how can I remember these, I'm afraid I don't even remember what you look like." Zhou Tianhao just finished speaking, But seeing Xie Yujiao's eyes staring at him, he suddenly realized that he had said something wrong, so he hurriedly changed his words: "Young lady is so beautiful, brother Huang naturally remembers it, but so what, now you are my lady."

Xie Yujiao was delighted to hear his slick tongue smeared like honey, so she leaned against him again, and for a while, the golden hairpin on her head touched Zhou Tianhao's cheek again, and she only avoided it a little.Xie Yujiao just wanted to look up to see if he was scratched, but Zhou Tianhao supported her back and leaned back. Xie Yujiao only saw Zhou Tianhao's deep eyes bullying him, and he had already taken advantage of it in the next second.

The carriages in the Wangfu are quite strict and stable, even if you sleep in it, there is enough room, Xie Yujiao only grunted, fisted with both hands but couldn't push him away.Zhou Tianhao got a little excited about the kiss for a while, so he took her hand and moved it around, Xie Yujiao blushed, turned away, pulled back her hand vigorously, pushed her away and went to the corner alone.

Although Zhou Tianhao was thinking a lot, he also knew how inconvenient it would be, so he simply sat down, closed his eyes and adjusted his breath slightly.

After a while, Xie Yujiao saw that Zhou Tianhao hadn't moved any more, so she turned her head and saw that he was closing his eyes, as if he was resting his mind.Xie Yujiao let go of her heart a little bit, and unconsciously shifted her gaze downwards. Seeing that the tent set up there had become shorter, she sighed again, leaned against the wall of the carriage, and closed her eyes as well.

After tossing and tossing for most of the night last night, Xie Yujiao didn't get much sleep, and her body was sore, the carriage was driving smoothly, and she closed her eyes, but fell asleep in a moment.

Zhou Tianhao felt a little bit when she turned her head just now, and now seeing her leaning against the carriage, she seemed to be asleep, so he moved over and let her fall asleep in his arms.Xie Yujiao felt that she had fallen into a solid and reliable embrace, and her sleep became deeper and deeper.

The carriage traveled for about half an hour, and it had already arrived at the gate of the palace.This time is a formal audience, so naturally there is no need to go through the corner door.Seeing that Xie Yujiao was in a deep sleep, Zhou Tianhao ordered him to go down and wait at the door for a while, and the people who picked him up immediately waited outside in the hot sun.

Xie Yujiao yawned, only to realize that the carriage wasn't moving, she just stared sleepily and said, "Why isn't the carriage not moving?"

At this time, the people outside were already standing for a cup of tea, Zhou Tianhao smiled slightly and said, "I just arrived, and I was planning to call you up."

Xie Yujiao rubbed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief before getting out of the carriage with Zhou Tianhao.

Everyone watched the curtain of the car flash, and they all heaved a sigh of relief by coincidence, and rushed to meet them and said: "My lord and concubine, Your Majesty and Queen are already waiting for you two at the Ancestral Hall."

Zhou Tianhao nodded, and waved his hand to dismiss them. After entering the palace gate, the two got on the carriage again and went straight to the Nianzu Hall.

Just now when Zhou Tianhao arrived at the gate of the palace, an eunuch had already gone in to answer the question, and only said that he had already arrived at the gate, so the emperor and empress raised their spirits, just waiting for them to come in, who knew that no one came after waiting for a long time, so they came A eunuch was sent to ask questions, and the eunuch walked halfway, when he met someone who came in to pass the message, he came back with a smile and said: "The prince really loves the princess, just now the princess took a nap on the road. , I didn't wake up for a while, so I was delayed for some hours."

The emperor knew that Zhou Tianhao had always been unrestrained, and he didn't show any affection for women before.He has never seen a princess from a foreign country, a lady from a wealthy family, or a famous courtesan in the capital. He has always been among thousands of flowers without touching his body.This time, although she was thinking of marrying Xie Yujiao, she seemed to be a bit sympathetic to her, but she didn't expect to be spoiled to such a degree.

Seeing the wry smile on the emperor's face, the empress thought that he was going to be unhappy, so she comforted her and said, "The emperor forgot, last night was their bridal chamber wedding night, the prince is young and strong, I'm afraid the tossing is not light, the siblings can't bear it." There is also accommodation.”

The emperor just laughed when he heard the words, nodded and said: "It's true, it's true, when they come in, they have finished worshiping their ancestors early, so they can go back to the palace to rest."

While talking, the eunuch had already reported the singing at the door, saying that Prince Rui and Princess Rui were already waiting outside the hall.The emperor and empress greeted them personally in court clothes.Xie Yujiao was wearing the court dress of Princess Rui, which made her look more and more beautiful, even the emperor couldn't help but nodded slightly.

Zhou Tianhao took Xie Yujiao together to pay respects to the empress, and the formal sacrificial ceremony began only after the emperor excused himself from the ceremony.

Because the imperial court moved to the south, the sacrificial ceremony was much simpler than before. It was not like the Taimiao sacrifice to heaven, which took a whole day.Under the leadership of officials from the Ministry of Rites, Xie Yujiao and Zhou Tianhao knelt down to worship the emperors since Dayong's founding, and the emperor's imperial pen entered Xie Yujiao's name into the imperial jade spy, which was considered a ceremony.

But even so, it took more than an hour of tossing. Xie Yujiao's back was sore and her legs hurt. She almost couldn't stand up after kneeling down several times.It's just that even so, Xie Yujiao felt a little hot on his face.

After worshiping the ancestors, the emperor only called Zhou Tianhao to go to the imperial study.Xie Yujiao followed the empress to Fengyi Palace.

Inside Fengyi Palace, several noble concubines and Mrs. An Guogong, the mother of Empress Xu, were waiting there. Seeing Xie Yujiao coming in, Mrs. An Guogong greeted her with a smile on her face and said, "This is Princess Rui, right? It's no wonder Wang Ye Feiqing doesn't marry, I really like it just by looking at it."

Xie Yujiao saluted her respectfully, the man hurriedly supported her, and the two sat down for a while, and Mrs. An ordered the maid beside her to present a string of golden pearls.It doesn't matter that all the pearls are golden, what's more rare is that each pearl is full, each one is the size of a longan.

Xie Yujiao hurriedly thanked her again, and let the maid who followed into the palace accept it, and then the ladies gave gifts to each other.

Xie Yujiao is a newcomer, so there is no need to return the gifts at this time, but after returning, they have to register and register, so they will inevitably have to return the gifts one by one in the future.

What He Guifei gave to Xie Yujiao was a pair of jade bracelets inlaid with gold. Although the color of the jade is high-quality, Xie Yujiao's family also has a few like this, but where the gold is inlaid, it must be covered by flaws. .

Empress Xu took a look at this ceremony, although she smiled, her brows showed a bit of indifference, she said with a smile: "I heard that Xie's family and He's family are still relatives, I don't know if He Guipin and Princess Rui are old acquaintances? "

Xie Yujiao had never seen the eldest girl of the He family since she came, so naturally she didn't know her, but He Guifei just said indifferently: "I may have seen it when I was young, but I don't remember it now."

Xie Yujiao followed suit and said, "What a coincidence, but I can't remember."

Empress Xu seemed to be very satisfied with Xie Yujiao's attitude towards He Guibin, she just said, "It doesn't matter if you didn't know each other before, but you will get to know him later."

With Empress Xu present, everyone was very reserved. After sitting dryly for a while, some of them got up to leave after changing a cup of tea.Empress Xu was also happy and they left. For a while, there were only Mrs. An Guogong, Empress Xu and Xie Yujiao left in the hall.

Only then did Mrs. An Guogong warm up to Xie Yujiao, she just sat down on the seat beside her, and said, "I heard the empress empress mention that our An Guogong's mansion is still your maternal ancestor's house!"

Mrs. Xu's father was the third wife of Duke Anguo's mansion. Mrs. An Guogong's words are indeed reasonable, but her grandfather died too badly back then, so Xu Yuxing also cut off contact with Duke Anguo's mansion, so he has never been in touch for more than ten years pass.

"Grandpa left early, and uncle has been in the south all the time. In recent years, he has been walking less in the north. I don't know that the people in the house still don't remember the original third bedroom." Although Xie Yujiao didn't have the slightest tone of blame in her words, but Madam An Guo blushed a little after hearing this.If it hadn't been for the An Guo government's free rein on the third house, perhaps Xu's father would not have gone so early.

"I'm not very clear about these things. I was just a young daughter-in-law more than ten years ago, and I didn't understand many interests. We should respond to what the elders say. It's a pity to say..."

After hearing this, Xie Yujiao knew that Mrs. An Guogong was here to make friends, but she didn't show any sincerity in wanting to make friends, and only pushed her own faults to the ground. How much did Xie Yujiao still have in her heart? Not happy.

"It doesn't matter if you don't mention the past, madam, don't blame yourself too much."

Mrs. An Guogong saw that Xie Yujiao seemed to be a bit stubborn, so she didn't say anything after all.After a while, a little maid came from outside and said that Xie Yujiao was invited to have lunch at the imperial study.

When Empress Xu heard this, although she still had a faint smile on her face, she felt a little sad in her heart. She had never eaten in the imperial study, but instead let her go. Empress Xu smiled and said: "It must be Your Majesty. You have passed the wrong word, it is good for the princess to have lunch at Fengyi Palace."

The little eunuch smiled again and said, "It was the lord who let the princess go. The lord said that it is a long way from Fengyi Palace to the imperial study in front. After a while, when the princess finished her lunch, the weather happened to be the hottest, so I let the princess pass first." , I won’t come here to bid farewell to your empress in a while.”

After hearing this, Xie Yujiao raised the corners of her mouth slightly, got up and blessed Empress Xu and Mrs. An Guogong, and then said goodbye.
