Second-hand lady

Chapter 19

On the Queen Mother's birthday, Miss Rucui woke up early in the morning and started her day's work in high spirits.

But because of the Empress Dowager's birthday today, Wen Liang got a day off and lay lazily on the bed, refusing to move. Miss Rucui repeatedly urged her to refuse to get up, and lay lazily under the quilt, with her face Buried in a soft pillow, a head of long black hair was spread randomly on the dark red mattress, giving people a visual stimulus.

Within half a month of marrying him, Rucui clearly knew many bad habits of a beautiful man who was admired by the world, and this man didn't mind exposing those bad habits to her, completely subverting the wisdom and courage of the outside generation. The image of a military strategist with both skills.Of course, Miss Rucui didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Wen Liang with these bad habits seemed more real than the image of a perfect military adviser—the premise was that Miss Rucui didn't always respond to his bad habits. If you want to choke someone, okay?
Seeing him being lazy, Miss Rucui tugged at some strands of his hair, and stopped urging her, and said with a smile, "Okay, Mr. Wen, it's also good for you to sleep more, I heard that eating and sleeping will make you gain weight. It's better to hold him softly if you have more meat." With a contented expression on her face, she hoped that he would gain weight quickly so that she could comfortably hug him to sleep at night.

Wen Liang's laziness was instantly wiped out by her, she got up with black lines all over her face, pulled her over and bit her pretty cheek.

"Master Wen, are you hungry? You haven't rinsed your mouth yet, and I'm human, so it's not good to drink blood like this..."

Unfinished words were swallowed up by the ensuing kiss, someone's mouth finally serving another purpose.

Although today is the Empress Dowager's birthday, they are courtiers, so they don't have to gather in the Empress Dowager's Chonghua Palace early in the morning to pay homage to the old man like the concubines in the palace.However, although it is not necessary to enter the palace early in the morning, because today is the birthday of Da Chu's most honorable woman, firecrackers are lit in the streets and alleys early in the morning, and the crackling sound really has a festive atmosphere.

After breakfast, the couple went to the study together.

Miss Rucui asked Tsing Yi to bring over the account books from the mansion, and glanced at the man standing in front of the desk, holding a Langhao in his hand and writing with pen and ink on the rice paper.This was the first time she shared a study room with Wen Liang during the day, and it felt a bit fresh.Originally, she wanted to transform the room next to the master bedroom into her own small study, but because it hadn't been furnished yet, she shared a study with him after Wen Liang's consent.

Rucui poked her head to take a look, and saw the four unrestrained words on the bottom of the white paper: Tongcheng military strategy, she couldn't help being startled, Mr. Wen is going to write his own military strategy?But remembering that he has lived on the border for a long time, he has fought against the North Vietnamese for many years, and has a lot of experience. He has a set of military strategies in his mind, and it is not a problem to write a book by himself.

After thinking about it, Ru Cui smiled slightly, at this moment she clearly felt that this man was full of talent, with a chest full of hills and valleys, his perfection was unbelievable.

It was really her luck to marry him.

The day passed quickly, and at sunset, the couple both changed into formal attires, checked the prepared birthday gifts, and when there was nothing wrong, they entered the palace by car.

The carriage stopped in front of the Nangong Gate, and the palace is not allowed to enter the school on horseback without special reasons, unless there is an exception of grace.The two got out of the carriage, passed the inspection of the guards in front of the palace gate, and entered the palace together.

It's still early, but there are already a lot of people coming to the palace to pay their respects. It's better to hurry up early. No one has the courage to be late for the Queen Mother's birthday. Moreover, after entering the palace, the wives of each family will go to the Chonghua Palace to pay their respects to the Queen Mother. It can also give the empress dowager a good impression.

The banquet time is at Xu time, and there is still an hour and a half before the banquet time.During this time, Miss Rucui will stay in the Empress Dowager's palace, and Wen Liang will also wait in the palace where the courtiers gather, and communicate with those ministers by the way.So shortly after entering the palace, the two had to separate and go to their respective destinations.

Wen Liang was a little worried about what was going to happen next, but he was a foreign minister, and he couldn't step into the harem without a special invitation from above, so he could only worry about telling his second-hand girl a few words.

"Master Wen, don't worry, I will be very content!" Miss Rucui was a little unhappy about his worries, and said, "And there is Princess Su in the palace." People who are pleasing to the eye have to think about it.

Hearing this, Wen Liang became even more worried. Who knows if these two things will cause more trouble when they get together?No, in fact, they are very stable, but there are always people who don't like it and things will find them.

"Okay, I know you are very obedient, but occasionally you have to be sensible and don't fight against others casually."

"But what if that person bullies you to the door?" Miss Rucui asked humbly.

"...Then let the maids beat him until he can't even recognize his parents. I'll make the decision for you, my lord!"

"Know!"

Shangxi in Tsing Yi, who was standing beside him, listened to the conversation between the two in a dumb voice, feeling that both of them were unreliable.

After parting with Wen Liang, Miss Rucui took Tsing Yi and went to the Empress Dowager's Chonghua Palace under the leadership of a young eunuch.The birthday gifts had already been handed over to the eunuchs who were waiting there to receive them when they just entered the palace, and they would send all the gifts to the Chonghua Palace.

The palace is decorated with lanterns and festoons, creating a festive atmosphere.

When they came to Chonghua Palace, they could hear laughter from inside from afar.At this time, it was not only Miss Rucui who arrived at Chonghua Palace together, but also the two wives beside her.Seeing them, the maids guarding in front of the palace gave a salute and then went in to inform them, and soon came out to let them in.

When Miss Rucui came, there were not too many people, and it happened to be stuck at a certain time, and there were two companions by her side, so it should be considered inconspicuous.However, Wen Liang's reputation as the most beautiful man is too strong, coupled with her legendary status and gorgeous transformation, the palace concubines and wives present are very curious about her. The woman who came over stared at her like a stick, wanting to see what was so special about her, so that a peerless man like Wen Zixiu could overcome all difficulties to marry her.

Seeing so many gazes in the hall, the two ladies who came with Ru Cui suddenly became nervous, even their movements were a little stiff.Miss Rucui was also a little nervous by the people in the first hall. A lady who was walking beside her accidentally walked a little faster and stepped on her skirt.Miss Rucui paused slightly, stretched out her hand without thinking, and the lady fell in full view, and the gold jewelry on one end was crooked.

"..."

The hall was quiet, and for a while I didn't know who was laughing, and then it seemed like an infection, the faces of the people in the whole hall were covered with a sea of ​​smiles, but they didn't laugh out loud, and it was a blessing to the fallen lady. face.

Ru Cui was also taken aback, and hurriedly helped the lady up together with the maids.But the lady probably lost such a big face, she didn't appreciate it at all, secretly slapped her hand off, gave her a vicious look, her face was full of embarrassment.

At this time, the Queen Mother's concerned voice came: "Is Mrs. Zuo Shilang okay? Come, let Mrs. Zuo Shilang sit down and rest."

Mrs. Zuo Shilang frowned slightly, and with an extremely weak expression under the support of the maid, she forced a smile and said: "The empress dowager, my wife is fine, it's just that my heart hurts a little. Mrs. Wen is really good at giving birth to brave strength." Voice Li felt a little mocking.

Hearing this, the people present had changed the target of teasing, but seeing that Miss Rucui didn't seem to feel it, she smiled at Mrs. Zuo Shilang, and said crisply: "Thank you, Mrs. Zuo Shilang, for your compliment, I just have a little more strength. The doctor said that it is a good thing for a woman to be strong, so that she will not be blown away by the wind all of a sudden, isn't the autumn wind in October a little bit stronger." He said, showing a pretty smile, which is really flattering Hi.

"..."

This cheek is also very thick, didn't he turn a corner and mock her for being thin and rushing forward to ask for guilt.

Seeing that Mrs. Zuo Shilang had nothing to say, Miss Rucui said again: "Empress Dowager, please forgive me for being so shameless. I didn't know that Mrs. Zuo Shilang stepped on my wife's clothes and caused her to fall."

The people in the palace also saw this situation clearly. Although they don't know whether Mrs. Zuo Shilang did it unintentionally or intentionally at that time, it really makes people laugh and cry when this happened.Under normal circumstances, isn't it that people who are stepped on will fall down?Why is the situation reversed now, instead, the trampling stumbled?

After hearing this, the queen mother had no choice but to regard the matter as an accident and asked someone to help Mrs. Zuo Shilang to sit aside.

Mrs. Zuo Shilang blushed with embarrassment under the half-smiling eyes of everyone, but she couldn't use the excuse of being unwell to avoid it at this time, or she would lose face even more. I also had the idea of ​​eating someone, so I could only twist the handkerchief bitterly, cursing a certain lucky maid in my heart.

After this sudden accident, Miss Rucui was no longer so nervous, and went forward with another lady to greet the Queen Mother.

The queen mother didn't cry out, and looked at her lightly, with a sharp look in her eyes.

The two kept curtseying. Miss Rucui was well-trained and she didn't feel tired. On the contrary, the other Mrs. Dutong's calf trembled with the passage of time, and secretly regretted why she listened to Mrs. Zuo Shilang's words, etc. Seeing this Mrs. Wen come over together, it's better now, one fell down instead of trying to trip someone up, and the other is now accompanying him to salute and suffer, it's a bit of a loss outweighs the gain.

After looking at it enough, the empress dowager called Cizuo slowly, but seeing that the face of the person who wanted to suffer was normal and the other innocent was slightly pale, the empress dowager felt a little dissatisfied, as if she had punched the cotton, Very no sense of accomplishment.

"Empress Dowager, look, this Mrs. Wen looks tender, but she is also a lucky and smart person, no wonder..." As she spoke, the speaking lady covered her lips and smiled.

Everyone in the palace understands what she means, isn't it lucky, otherwise, can a woman who was born as a maid marry the son of Lord Zhen Guo?
For the irony of the people in the palace, Miss Rucui was already prepared in her heart, and she was not very angry. When she glanced away, she saw Su Wangfei, who was sitting among several concubines not far from the queen mother, and saw her worried face. Looking at himself, he quickly returned a smile.
