In the clear autumn and August, the weather in Guanzhong is still very hot.
Even at night, the hot smell could not be eliminated. The windows in Zou's palace were open, and the candlelight inside shone through the windows.
When Zhang Xiu entered the courtyard, he saw Mrs. Zou sitting in front of the candlelight, holding embroidery in her hand and staring at the work in her hands. The candlelight illuminated Mrs. Zou's perfect profile, which looked very soft and beautiful. Red gave her smooth face a layer of seductive beauty.
A pair of serious and cautious eyes carefully watched the work in his hands, as if he didn't know that such a natural movement was the most beautiful gesture in the eyes of others.
"Mei Niang!"
Due to the special relationship between the two, Zhang Xiu no longer calls her aunt, but instead calls her by her first name. Zou's original name is Zou Meiniang. "What are you busy with?"
Zou turned around and saw Zhang Xiu, her bright eyes lit up with joy: "Your Majesty, you are here! The maid next to me was spoiled by me and I didn't report it." After saying that, he stood up and held the purple silk cloth in his hand. , "I was thinking about the cold autumn, so I made you an autumn robe. It just happened to come. Let's see if it fits you."
When he said that, he came over with his robe.
Zhang Xiu greeted him with a smile: "Just leave these things to the servants, be careful not to get in bad shape."
Seeing Zhang Xiu cherishing her, Zou's heart felt as sweet as honey. Smiling sweetly: "This is what I want. I can leave it to my servant. You can try it on."
Under Zou's service, he put on his clothes.
The purple silk robe was embroidered with a five-clawed python. Zou's embroidery skills were excellent, and the python was embroidered so lifelike. Zhang Xiu praised: "Mei Niang's craftsmanship is so amazing, even just looking at it, I feel like this python is alive." coming."
Ms. Zou took a few steps back and looked at whether the clothes fit her with a smile in her eyes: "As long as you like it, my lord, I will embroider a brocade robe for you when winter is coming. Do you think it fits you?"
Zhang Xiu stretched his arms and said, "It fits very well and is comfortable to wear. But you don't need to do so much. Rui'er embroidered two pieces last year, and Xiao Qiao, Da Qiao and Shishi embroidered one piece. There are so many pieces that they can't even wear." ”
Zou gave him an angry look: "Others want to wear it, but they haven't got it yet!"
Zhang Xiu came over with a smile and hugged Zou: "Who dares to think about Gu Wang's woman? Looking at the whole world, who dares to touch Gu Wang's people."
Zou gave him a happy look, and then asked, "Does Yueying know if you are coming so late?"
Zhang Xiu smiled and said: "She is called Gu Yulu Junzhan. She is not allowed to go back tonight. Su Jin has already gone back to report her."
Mrs. Zou took off the python robe for Zhang Xiu, folded it and put it in the wooden wardrobe on the side of the kang. Zhang Xiu leaned on the kang with both hands and stared at Zou's back.
The candlelight illuminated Zou's slim figure and rosy skin.
After Mrs. Zou put away her clothes, she turned around and saw him staring at her, so she smiled and said, "Why is the prince staring at my concubine like this? Could it be..." Mrs. Zou touched her face, "...it belongs to my concubine. Is there something on your face?”
Zhang Xiu was amused, "That's not true, it's just..." Zhang Xiu sat up and his face became serious, "I just don't know what title I will give you. If I don't give it, I will feel bad."
Zou stood there blankly, looking at Zhang Xiu blankly.
Looking at it, my eyes were red.
If Zhang Xiu hadn't accepted her, she would have had only two endings in her life, either dying alone and alone, or being taken over by others and resigned to her fate.
Zhang Xiu accepted her remarriage without fear of words and was deeply loved. Zou was very satisfied with such a result and did not dare to have any more thoughts. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiu was thinking about his status. In an instant, Zou was so moved that he couldn't help himself.
Then he knelt down in front of Zhang Xiu and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine's success today is the repayment of her past life. I don't dare to have any more thoughts. I beg you not to worry about my concubine's affairs anymore."
Zhang Xiu stretched out his hand to take Mrs. Zou into his arms, turned around and lay down on the kang, looking into her watery eyes very close at hand, "Gu said, I will never treat you badly. What others have, you There will be.”
Zou's heart trembled violently.
The handsome face of Zhang Xiu, who was so close, was foggy, and crystal tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes. The emotion without words all turned into tears and rolled down.
Zhang Xiu wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes and gently stroked her tender face with his thumb, "Don't cry! These are the exact words Gu Zhan said, and I will never break my promise."
"Um!"
Zou bit her trembling lips, her voice trembling slightly.
Seeing how cute she looked, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but kiss her with a special kind of heartache. Unexpectedly, the kiss immediately received Zou's enthusiastic return to the camp, and she even took the initiative to put her arms around his neck.
So, it was out of control.
The autumn moon outside the window is like a landscape.
There is endless spring in the window.
…
The earth shook for half an hour, and Zou wrapped the spring light in a quilt, lying softly and happily on Zhang Xiu's chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat.
Like a war drum, steady and powerful.
Zhang Xiu put one hand behind her head and stroked her tender back with the other, "The three old guys in Shangcheng Pavilion did not agree with the position of the ten queens, and they talked to each other several times. They were as stubborn as the stones in the latrine. , smelly and hard.”
Zou made Zhang Xiu laugh at this metaphor.
This smile, illuminated by the red candlelight, is as charming as silk and full of charm.
It made his heart tremble when he saw it.
Just listen to what she said: "After all, they are the founding ministers of the country and my loyal ministers of Dajing. What they considered is right. After all, I am no longer..."
Zhang Xiu blocked her mouth: "I don't care about the past, I just want to have your place among the ten queens."
Zou turned over and looked at Zhang Xiu, her lower body pressed softly against hers, "You are the one who is stubborn now. The ten queens belong to Yueying, Shishi, Xiao Qiao and Rui'er. I won't follow and I don't want to compete with them. I just want you to come to my place a few times a month.”
Zhang Xiu couldn't help but look down.
Zou followed Zhang Xiu's gaze and blushed. She immediately threw herself on Zhang Xiu's chest and cursed with a smile: "I'm already yours, why are you still peeking?"
Zhang Xiu touched his nose awkwardly.
"Did you listen carefully to what I just said?" Zou asked lying down.
Zhang Xiu said: "If you do not have the title among the ten queens, then I will create a special title: Concubine Side, and I will give an order. In the future, the descendants of my Dajing Dynasty will no longer be able to appoint Side Emperor." As the concubine, from now on, you are the only concubine."
Hearing this, Mrs. Zou stood up regardless of the sudden appearance of spring, and knelt down in front of Zhang Xiu: "If the king gives this order, he will force me to die again."
Zhang Xiu was surprised for a moment, then suddenly realized.
Such a high reputation is higher than that of the Ten Queens, and she is also the most vulnerable to jealousy and hatred.
He took her into his arms, looked at the mortise and tenon structure of the roof, and said after a while: "Then I will make you the imperial concubine, but your status will be the same as that of the ten queens."
Zou nodded slightly.
