Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 311 Promise
Hua Rong stepped into the house stepping on the last bright color of the sky.

In the courtyard of the leased private house, several children were playing and playing, and Yue Pengju was teaching a child to use a wooden knife.Everyone was sweating profusely, at this moment, a gentle voice sounded: "Everyone is tired, drink some herbal tea..."

The children rushed up and surrounded her: "I want to drink, I want to drink..."

"Don't worry, take your time..."

Yue Pengju walked over with a child in his arms, Li Qiaoniang took out a handkerchief to wipe the child's sweat carefully, and said angrily, "Look, you sweat so much..."

Yue Pengju laughed heartily: "A man must sweat and bleed but not cry..."

Hua Rong looked at the family happiness, she knew that Pengju liked children, and she treated little Lu Wenlong like a treasure, as if she was her own.That made her experience the warmth of being a mother for quite a while.However, this short-lived happiness was quickly swept away by Jin Wushu like a gust of wind.In a man's life, there must always be a wife and children so that he can't regret it. Maybe, in the near future, Pengju will also have children?Li Qiaoniang will definitely give him many lively and intelligent children.She looked at Li Qiaoniang again, handing a large bowl of herbal tea to Pengju so tenderly, he tilted his neck and drank it all in one gulp, just like he used to serve him.

Yue Pengju put down the bowl, Li Qiaoniang immediately took it, and then called enthusiastically: "Madam, are you back? Do you want some herbal tea?"

Seeing his wife standing there like a wooden stake, Yue Pengju was in a trance. He froze for a moment, and took a step forward: "Sister Seventeen, you are back."

"Ah."

Li Qiaoniang said enthusiastically: "My family has already served my husband for dinner, and I left a copy for you, and I will bring it to you right away..."

It was only then that Hua Rong remembered that he hadn't had dinner with her husband for a long time, so he was used to not waiting for him anymore.

Yue Pengju also asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

Hua Rong could hear the two of them singing together, as if they were entertaining guests. In a blink of an eye, seeing the children in the yard, she realized that Li Qiaoniang had brought many children to play at home every day, and she had prepared a lot. Snacks, the children also like to come and play.What is she doing?Say you love children?Or should we strengthen and encourage Yue Pengju to love children?If Pengju loves the child—she dare not think about it, does it mean that the time is ripe for the two of them to consummate their marriage?

She waved her hand and said loudly to the group of children: "You all go back." Hearing her bad tone, the children ran away quickly when they saw that it was getting dark again.Yue Pengju saw that his wife's attitude was very different, he had gradually gotten used to it, so he didn't take it seriously, and just said to Li Qiaoniang: "You are tired today, go and rest first."

Li Qiaoniang gave a blessing: "The slave family will step down first."

"Wait a minute..."

Li Qiaoniang was taken aback, Hua Rong smiled: "Pengju, Qiaoniang, I have something to discuss with you."

Yue Pengju saw the smile on his wife's face that he hadn't seen for a long time, and subconsciously asked, "What's the matter?"

Hua Rong said nothing, just smiled and walked into the living room first.The two also followed in.Hua Rong sat down on the chair, the room was lit with lights, and it was very bright. She looked around and found that even though she left early and returned late for a long time, the house was tidy and spotless. It is more and more full of traces of Pengju, full of all kinds of details he likes, and, subconsciously, there are some mascots that are lucky in local customs.

Hire!

Everything related to this is pain, and she was shocked to see it.With a chill in my heart, I slowly realized that this house should really change its mistress.

Yue Pengju also sat down.Li Qiaoniang stood by.The house formed a very strange situation, Yue Pengju was the head of the family, next to the head of the house, Li Qiaoniang stood by, and on this day, she happened to be wearing a little peach red dress.A color like Xiao Taohong is exactly the color needed for a newly married concubine to meet the head mother.

Yue Pengju also felt that the atmosphere inside was a little weird, and asked, "Sister Seventeen, what do you want to say?"

Hua Rong took a deep breath, still smiling all over his face, and slowly said: "Qiao Niang has been in our house for so long, and being anonymous is not a solution after all. In my opinion, it's better to choose an auspicious day and hold a few banquets. The name has been decided. Qiao Niang, what do you think?..."

A look of joy flashed in Li Qiaoniang's eyes, but she blushed and said in a low voice, "But it's up to Madam to arrange."

Hua Rong nodded, and then looked at her husband, but saw his broad brows tightly furrowed and then stretched out, his eyes were very strange, and his tone was also very strange: "Sister Seventeen, what do you mean?"

Hua Rong's voice was very gentle, and his eyes were sincere: "Pengju, I am infertile, and I am really ashamed of you. Fortunately, the Queen Mother and His Majesty have thought about it, the emperor's grace is great, and Qiao Niang is smart, beautiful, virtuous and capable. She will share the burden for me. It is my blessing to serve you well. In this way, I can also reduce my guilt..." She pulled a hairpin from her head and handed it over as she spoke, "Qiao Niang, this is my heart. Thanks a lot……"

Li Qiaoniang was flattered, took the jade hairpin with both hands, and knelt down: "Thank you for your generosity, madam. From now on, my family will definitely serve my husband with all my heart..."

Yue Pengju could see clearly that the hairpin Hua Rong gave her was actually the first gift he gave her when he was humble.She gave such a gift without blinking.

Li Qiaoniang got up and was about to salute him, but he waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "You go down first."

Li Qiaoniang was a little apprehensive, so she had to go down first.

Yue Pengju stood up, closed the door himself, then turned back to his seat and sat down, staring at his wife closely.Hua Rong was very uncomfortable being looked at by him like this, coughed, and only said: "I'm sleepy, go and rest first."

"Sister Seventeen, is that why you leave early and return late?"

"No."

"Are you jealous, or do you want to fulfill Li Qiaoniang?"

Hua Rong narrowed his eyes: "I didn't!"

"Oh? Then you really want me to take a concubine?"

"Pengju, to be honest, I feel a lot of guilt in my heart because I can't have children, so I am uneasy in the end. If you really think about me, you might as well take a concubine and continue the incense for you. Only in this way can I feel at ease. "

Yue Pengju frowned and remained silent.

Hua Rong observed words and demeanor, and said softly: "People are not plants, how can you be ruthless? Li Qiaoniang is both talented and beautiful, diligent and virtuous, she is a rare good woman, she gets along day and night, and she serves you conscientiously, don't you have any feelings for her? "

Yue Pengju didn't make a sound.

"Pengju, don't worry, after she enters the house, she will definitely have her status in this family. The imperial court enlied that two women in the Yue family can be granted the title of married woman. As long as she gives birth to a son and a half daughter, you can apply for her." Rewards, I will never be jealous..."

"Sister Seventeen, you are really virtuous."

"Yes, I don't want to bear too much pressure. These days, everyone from the emperor, the queen mother, Tianwei to Gao Sijie and others have advised me to let you take a concubine. To be honest, I am under great psychological pressure. I seldom ask you anything. Now, I only ask you to marry a fertile woman to enter the family, at least to continue the incense of the Yue family. In the future, when I go to the Nine Springs, at least I will not be blamed by the ancestors of the Yue family..."

"What about you? What do you do?"

Hua Rong was stunned, and said slowly: "In the beginning, I didn't want to have other women in my family. But, look at this military camp, even if it was your deployment, how many concubines are there? Three wives and four concubines, they still live in harmony. In this world, many men have three wives and four concubines, if other women can tolerate it, so can I naturally..."

Yue Pengju stared into her eyes: "Is it because I have taken a concubine, so you won't leave early and return late?"

She laughed slowly: "That's not true. I go out early and come back late because I think there are many places worth visiting here, such as delicious food and drink. The first time I relax, I want to let go of the horse. Moreover, there is an extra woman to share the housework for me. I can’t even ask for it.”

Yue Pengju nodded bluntly: "Okay, since that's the case, I'll follow you!"

Hua Rong smiled sweetly: "Thank you Pengju for your understanding."

As soon as these words fell, I felt as if someone threw a stone heavily in my heart, knocking out a bottomless hole.Just like when he was hit by King Qin's palm, his internal organs were instantly shattered.

Yue Pengju just glanced at her, stood up and said calmly: "I got the news that Yang Mojun is about to have a military operation. What's the matter, I'll talk about it later. I have made my own arrangements for this matter, so you don't have to worry about it. Rest early Bar."

"Ah."

The husband and wife returned to their room to rest, and Yue Pengju was about to turn off the lights when he suddenly remembered something: "King Qin is here, he is here to watch the battle."

"Oh."

"I want to invite him to my house for a meal. After all, he is also your brother-in-law."

"I don't want to see him again! Don't ask him."

Yue Pengju didn't say anything, just fell asleep.

That night, the husband and wife had no more conversations.When he woke up the next day, Yue Pengju had already gone out to work. He left early, and even Li Qiaoniang didn't see him.Since she came, it was the first time she didn't serve Yue Pengju for breakfast, and she was a little uneasy.

Hua Rong got up and lingered for a while, worried that King Qin would come to the door, but didn't want to ask Yue Pengju about him, and was even more worried.Li Qiaoniang walked to her side, Fu Yifu: "Ma'am, I have prepared breakfast..."

Hua Rong said lightly: "In the future, you need to be more careful in serving your husband."

"Yes, the slave family has long admired the gentleman's name, and must serve him wholeheartedly. Madam, please rest assured."

Hua Rong nodded, turned around and left.

Entering May, the weather has begun to heat up.

Yang Mo saw that Qingcao Lake was besieged and the situation was becoming more and more difficult. In addition, there were people in the water village who surrendered from time to time, and rumors spread everywhere, so he couldn't sit still any longer.This military operation was divided into two attacks by land and water.General Yang Qin led 6000 people and six vehicles and boats to attack Qingcaohukou by water; Huang Cheng led 5000 people to attack Yong'an Village by land.To show prudence, Zhong Ziyi followed Huang Cheng to supervise the battle as prince for the first time.

Before the expedition, Yang Mo held a special swearing-in meeting in Baotai Shanzhai.A long yellow flag is inserted on the top of Baotai Mountain, and an incense table is set up under the yellow flag, and there are portraits of Zhong Xiang painted in white silk ink.

All over the mountains and fields are full of strong men who are going to war, and the navy stands at the bow.As the Great Sage and Heavenly King, Yang Mo wore the purple silk robe that Zhong Xiang often wore during his lifetime, and held a sharp sword in his hand.Facing the disciples, he held the sword in both hands and put it on the incense table, then knelt down to the portrait of Zhong Xiang and performed nine kowtows.The disciples also kowtowed nine times.
