Concubine Sheng Chong

Chapter 255
The flowers in Luoyang bloomed and faded, and the peonies in the backyard of the palace grew more and more beautiful in spring and autumn.

Kang Jinyin sat on the steps with her chin resting, the water bottle in her hand was already empty, she stared at the peony flower without saying a word.

After Xia He came back from the spring banquet organized by Emperor Yongning for Ye Luo today, she changed into a normal dress, and even took off her bun, like an ordinary woman.

"Your Majesty, the Shizi is here again today."

Yu Zhu took the comb from Xia He's hand, straightened her hair, and said with a coquettish smile, "Your Majesty, you said that the Princess and the Elder Son would fight like hell when they met, and you're not willing to leave Luoyang... Does this servant believe that Luoyang is really so good?"

Xia He smiled and stared at Yuzhu in the bronze mirror, "You girl, you are becoming more and more unruly, Luoyang is not good?"

Yu Zhu nodded earnestly, "The empress doesn't like Luoyang, and neither do the servants."

Xia He looked sad for a moment, and stood up silently, "Today I saw that Concubine Lan didn't eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake when she brought the eldest prince. It's not yet autumn, and there are very few sweet-scented osmanthus. There is still a little here, you send someone to deliver it."

Yu Zhu nodded, pouted and said, "Why does your majesty send good things to Concubine Lan and Concubine Ye? Although His Royal Highness and Princess Changle are really likable, but Majesty and Your Majesty..."

She covered her mouth and said nothing.

Xia He pinched her cheek, "You...you are full of nonsense, I have no worries about food and clothing here, and the dignity given by the Holy Majesty, that's enough, I don't want anything extravagant, and I don't want anything else. .”

Yu Zhu still kept her mouth shut, as if she was not reconciled.

Xia He didn't say much, and walked outside the door, "Jinyin is still in the garden? I've been looking at her for the past few days, and those peonies have been upside down for a long time. Let's go and have a look."

In the garden, Kang Jinyin pouted and touched the peony at hand, "Everyone says you are the richest flower, why? If I don't like you, how can you pull it out?"

"Why did this flower bother you? My aunt, this flower was brought from Yangzhou, and I finally asked the King of Zhennan for this kind of flower."

Hearing this voice, Kang Jinyin immediately changed his face, straightened up and turned around, "Why are you here again? Didn't you just say that I am a villain who has gained power? What's the matter now... are you here to curry favor with the villain? This is not like your dignified Prince Pingnan's style."

Zhou Yiyuan was dressed in a gray brocade robe, very restrained but with red lips and bright teeth, his facial features were very handsome, and his smile was even more heroic.

"Master thought of an interesting thing, I wonder if the princess is interested."

He took a step forward and whispered in Kang Jinyin's ear, "Have you heard of the library behind the Jingxin Hall?"

Kang Jinyin pushed him away angrily, "Now that the Queen Mother is not well and is recuperating, you still want to make trouble with the Queen Mother?"

The library does have some origins. It is rumored that there is a luminous pearl hidden in a certain dynasty's favorite concubine, which is unparalleled in the world.

Zhou Yiyuan's eyes were clear, and he smiled lightly, "Shall we go take a look in the evening? I found a path that no one has noticed, so we should be gentle so that the Jingxin Hall won't be disturbed."

In the corridor not far away, Xia He looked at the expressions of the two people who were close to him, and smiled with relief. It seems that there will be another wedding soon, and Luoyang City has been deserted for too long.

As the setting sun slanted, Zhou Yiyuan, dressed in eunuch clothes, dragged Kang Jinyin, who was dressed as a palace servant, to the direction of the Jingxin Hall.

"Let's go, just turn over from here."

Kang Jinyin stood hesitantly outside a palace wall, feeling even more regretful, "Why would I agree to come here with you to mess around?"

Zhou Yiyuan looked back and smiled, as if the splendor of the sunset had also melted into his smile, "Come with me, you will never regret it."

As the sun went down, the library building became darker and darker. Zhou Yiyuan felt the fear of the little person beside him, so he moved closer, and gently put his arms around her shoulders, "Go up and have a look?"

Kang Jinyin paused, looking at the seemingly weak stairs, "No."

Zhou Yiyuan directly grabbed her little hand, "It's already here, what can I do if I don't go?"

On the bottom floor, Kang Jinyin was so tired that she forgot where she was, and sat on the ground directly, "There is nothing here, you are fooling me!"

Zhou Yiyuan smiled unfathomably, and pushed open the window, "Nothing?"

The sky was getting dark, but when the window was opened, the light flashed so that Kang Jinyin subconsciously covered her eyes, but then raised her eyes in disbelief.

"Oh my God……"

She stood up and walked to the window, only to realize that this extremely tall library building could actually see a very bright house. For some reason, the roof of a small building was as bright as a pearl.

"Ye Mingzhu...how is it?"

Zhou Yiyuan circled Kang Jinyin, lowered his head and said seriously: "I didn't lie to you, and I will never lie to you."

Kang Jinyin lowered her head like a frightened deer, "What are you doing?"

"That house was the forest garden you visited with Miss Wen's last time. I heard that you liked the swing there very much, so I bought it. The title deed is in your cuff."

Zhou Yiyuan pointed to that house, "I went to see it, the scenery is very good, it's not far from the palace, you can also come to see the queen or queen mother from time to time, it's not far from the Imperial Academy..."

"What's the matter with Guan Hanlin Institute?" Kang Jinyin's face was already flushed.

"If you have a child, you can go to the Hanlin Academy to choose a gentleman. You are very protective of your shortcomings, so it is better to hire a gentleman. I am afraid that sending it to a family school is not to your liking..."

"What nonsense?! Are you still afraid that I won't be able to afford the house?" Kang Jinyin lowered her head even more, and could hardly see her eyes.

Zhou Yiyuan stopped joking, and raised her chin very solemnly, "Jin Yin, I've prepared everything to marry you."

"You..." Kang Jinyin wanted to push him away, but found that he was blocking the window and couldn't move.

She frowned and said with a blushing face, "Are you plotting against me? Since you told me about the library a few days ago, you have been plotting against me?"

Zhou Yiyuan laughed, lowered his head, and could almost feel the breath of the person in his arms, "No, earlier, so early that I even forgot when I started to calculate, but I, Zhou Yiyuan, only want one person in this life, what do you think? Wherever you go, I will buy you a house there, no matter where you go, you can return to our home."

Kang Jinyin turned her face away, but the laughter and the breath that brushed her ears became more and more intense around her, almost swallowing herself, "You..." She pushed him hard, "Dengtuzi! "

Zhou Yiyuan took advantage of the situation and grabbed her hand, "From the beginning to the end, I only have Meng Lang to you alone."

Kang Jinyin raised her eyes, deeply caught in the throbbing of this moment, Zhou Yiyuan stretched out his hand to cover the corners of her eyes, and slowly approached her delicate lips, getting closer and closer, almost feeling the urgency of each other. breathing...

"who!"

A loud roar broke the tranquility at the moment, Zhou Yiyuan looked downstairs with a dark face, only to see a group of night guards with lamps surrounding the library.

"Damn it, didn't I agree with the Holy One?! Won't let me be safe for one night?"

Kang Jinyin blushed and slipped out from under his arm...

A month later, Kang Jinyin's marriage was very grand, Duke Hui also quarreled with King Pingnan because of this matter, drank good wine jar after jar, and finally became a confidant.

These two people either set up a few chess games or went to the hunting ground for several rounds every day. As a result, the preparations for the marriage had to fall into the hands of Princess Pingnan and Mrs. Kang.

The two also liked each other's children more and more, especially Mrs. Kang, who was so worried about Jin Yin's marriage that she found a son-in-law whom she wanted, and they were so happy from ear to ear.

In the house in the south of the city, Kang Jinyin looked at the tampered swing with folded arms, and said displeasedly to the man beside him, "Are you trying to fool me with a swing that is so short?"

Zhou Yiyuan hugged her flatteringly, "I don't worry if it's too tall, why don't you try this one?"

After finishing speaking, he hugged her and sat on the swing without waiting for Kang Jinyin's reply. Soon the swing became higher and higher, and he could even see a large piece of peonies beyond the wall.

"You planted so many peonies?!"

Taking advantage of her being unable to break free, Zhou Yiyuan planted a kiss on her forehead, "The rich and noble flower, I am willing to support you for the rest of my life, you are the rich and noble flower in my heart."

Two years later, the child's veil skirt carved in powder and jade on the swing frame was blowing in the wind. She shouted and cheered, "Daddy, get taller! Get taller!"

Zhou Yiyuan has also become more mature, and his court clothes look even more handsome, "Come on, fly high..."

Kang Jinyin, who was wearing a wishful bun, came to the garden with a bowl of sugar-steamed crispy cheese, and immediately panicked, "Zhou Yiyuan! What are you doing!"

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Zhou Yiyuan hugged his daughter off the swing, and leaned forward with a smile, "Ma'am..."

Kang Jinyin stuffed the crispy cheese in Zhou Yiyuan's arms, and then hugged the well-behaved daughter, "Come on, let's not play with dad, let's pick flowers, shall we?"

Zhou Yiyuan looked at his daughter who clapped his hands and applauded, and said aggrievedly, "Ma'am, I want to go too."

Kang Jinyin glanced at him, and said angrily, "Master Zhou is busy with government affairs today."

"Not busy, not busy..." Zhou Yiyuan's eyes lit up.

"Since I'm not busy, I'll just finish the year-end accounts. I'm dazzled." Kang Jinyin straightened the broken hair at the temples, and said slowly.

"husband……"

"The ledger has been sent to your study."

Before the words finished, Kang Jinyin smiled slightly, turned around and left with her daughter in her arms.

"Do it faster, and I will take Xiaoru to the Lantern Festival later." Kang Jinyin smiled back, her bright eyes and white teeth were very delicate, and she became more gentle and quiet, like a graceful peony, blooming quietly, but without the slightest vulgarity, Red is dazzling and unique.

"Yes! I would like to follow Madam's instruction..."
