Huang Qiong's gift in return seemed to be a lot, but in reality it was worthless at all. It was given to King Yong. Compared with what King Yong sent, it was barely even close to 100%. Looking at He Yao who was a little unconvinced, Huang Qiong held the woman in his arms, kissed the beauty's mouth gently and said with a smile: "These things that Brother Seven gave us are not really gifts from us."
"What he wants is just an attitude from me that doesn't care about past grudges. Last time, he tried to interfere with me regarding the King of Shu's affairs, because he was afraid that I would deal with him in the future. He felt a little embarrassed to speak on his own. As the seventh brother, even though I He's a little thicker-skinned, but after all, he's not thick enough yet. That's why he gave me this so-called New Year's gift to test my current attitude towards him, and to please him and beg for mercy."
"If we send him back one-on-one, we will probably scare that guy half to death. One thousand catties of noodles and one thousand catties of eggs are a warning to him. I can pretend I didn't see some of his little actions. But in the big world, right and wrong Go on, if he can't tell the inside from the outside for me, I'll tell him to get away from me as soon as possible. The thousand kilograms of walnuts are just to tell him to grow more brainy and thoughtful in the future."
"There is nothing wrong with thinking about brotherhood, and I value him very much. But thinking about brotherhood also depends on the situation. People who are capable of killing brothers and destroying brothers still think about brothers. The sentiment is like feeding a tiger into trouble. To give him two words is to tell him that the matter last time has been revealed, and how to deal with it in the future. "
"Originally I was thinking of giving him a jade as a gift, but seeing that Sister Yao was so worried about returning the gift, I decided to forget it. That guy is so confused that there is no need to give him something too good. Three things It's enough for him to remember things. As for the other brothers, they are just expressing an attitude towards me, and it doesn't matter how much they return the favor."
"Anyway, the things they sent are just some delicacies and game, and they are not valuable. By the way, Prince Shen, except for walnuts, you don't want to send walnuts. When you return the gift, you go to my study and choose the set of Chen Fu's edition. "Shishuo Xinyu" and the Sui edition of "Book of Northern Qi" are also added. These two books allow me, my starling, to fully understand their meaning."
"Besides, my two sets of books were given to me by my mother before I left the palace. They are out-of-print books that cannot be found on the market. Although they are not valuable in the eyes of ordinary people, they are worth thousands of gold in the eyes of scholars. They are absolutely It’s no worse than the things that King Shen gave us. Since he likes reading, just give it to him.”
Hearing Huang Qiong's return gift, He Yao was still a little worried and said: "Isn't this not good? Otherwise, the jade Ruyi should be added to King Yong's return gift. Where is King Shen, I I'm considering some other things. Just sending those eggs, noodles and walnuts is a bit unethical. Anyway, your status is different now."
"If word gets out, don't make people laugh at us. We can only get in and out. Although we are all brothers, this is your first year out of the palace. It's not good to be too stingy. Don't make people laugh again. . If the money is not enough, didn’t the emperor also reward me with so much money? If it doesn’t work, just fill it in. Anyway, as long as you are here, we will not be so poor. "
Looking at He Yao who was taking out even the emperor's reward and putting it in, Huang Qiong sighed in his heart. He held her in his arms with some distress and kissed her fiercely. After kissing He Yao until she was a little confused and infatuated, he said: "Sister Yao, there is nothing wrong with the relationship between brothers, but sister Yao, don't forget Now, we are not an ordinary family, but a heavenly family."
"Now, the old man probably wants me to be a solitary minister rather than getting too close to the brothers. If there are too many gifts in return, it will be the New Year soon, so why bother the old man? Anyway, the relationship between brothers is not here. Once, there will be many opportunities in the future. Just keep the money that the old man rewarded you. From now on, don’t always be so stingy with yourself."
Huang Qiong's words made He Yao, who knew her previous thoughts, still a little naive, couldn't help but blush slightly, put her face against Huang Qiong's chest, and said with some self-blame: "I'm really useless, what?" None of them can help you. It would be great if Sister Duan and Sister Lin were here. They would definitely help you with some ideas on this kind of matter, at least they wouldn't be like me."
Listening to He Yao's somewhat guilty words, Huang Qiong said: "Sister Yao, you are the best in my heart. Everyone has their own different strengths due to their experiences growing up since childhood. Duan My sister is the eldest princess of Dali. Even if she is a small country, she is still a princess of a country. Naturally, she must be familiar with political affairs, and she is also no stranger to some intrigues."
"Sister Lin is the daughter of an official, and later she became the prince's concubine. Although this prince's concubine has always been a name, after all, she has been the prince's concubine for so many years, and has experienced so many things in the process. She must be familiar with some things. I am more familiar with you. And Sister Yao, you are frugal, kind and gentle by nature. You are a good housekeeper and a good eldest sister among your sisters."
"In a few months, I also believe that you will be an even better mother. As long as you are here, I will not worry about a fire in the backyard no matter how far I go. I feel most at ease leaving this home to you. And for me , I need a woman like you even more after my death. As for Sister Duan, although she is no stranger to intrigues, she may have been loved by her parents since she was a child, but her temper is a bit careless. "
"If we leave this family in charge of her, I'm afraid we will have to go begging for food in less than half a year. As for Wanqing and Xing'er, they are still young and what their temperaments are like, you know better than me. So, you Don't blame yourself so much. Just remember that taking care of this family is the greatest help to your husband-in-law."
"Sister Yao, I'm not trying to appease you. I'm telling the truth. Don't feel sorry for yourself in the future. Remember, each of you is unique in my heart. With you here, this Prince's Mansion can only It’s a family. So, each of you is the most important to me. But Sister Yao, I still hope you read more books and set an example for our children."
After Huang Qiong finished speaking, He Yao, who was nestling in his arms, raised her head and looked at Huang Qiong's sincere face, and nodded with some shame. Looking at the shy He Yao, he felt that some parts of the beautiful woman in his arms had been plumped up in preparation for breastfeeding. Since returning to the capital, he has been a little impulsive because he has not been on good terms with He Yao because of He Yao's pregnancy.
Just when Huang Qiong's hand was placed on He Yao's plumpness. He Yao, who had already sensed the changes in Huang Qiong, was a little emotional, but she still had reason in the end. She quickly held down his somewhat erratic hand and said in the same breathless voice: "After the child is born, I will stay with you, okay? Not now, we can't hurt the child."
Hearing He Yao mention the child, Huang Qiong, who immediately calmed down, quickly let go of his hand, just hugged He Yao quietly, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Sister Yao, I was a little out of control. It just took too long. I’m not close to you anymore, I really can’t control myself, and I almost hurt you and our children.”
Huang Qiong's somewhat apologetic words made He Yao shake her head. After hesitating for a moment, He Yao got off Huang Qiong, lowered her body and opened her mouth. However, her movement was stopped by Huang Qiong. Huang Qiong hugged her again, shook her head and said lovingly: "Sister Yao, don't force yourself to embarrass yourself for me. It's okay, just calm down for a while and you'll be fine."
In order to divert He Yao's attention, Huang Qiong said quickly: "Have you thought about what you should give Mrs. Liu? Brother Liu is staying in Zhengzhou and he will definitely not be able to come back during the New Year. Don't be stingy about this, prepare more. The rewards and money must not make Brother Liu's family feel cold. My wife and two children also need to make new clothes and use better leather."
In response to Huang Qiong's words, He Yao nodded and said: "Don't worry, not only are we prepared, but we are also prepared for two cents. On the surface are one thousand guan of money, two gold and silver ingots each. One mouth each for pigs and sheep, and three kilograms of fish for thirty There are ten chickens, ducks and geese each, one roe deer each, fifteen pieces of satin of various colors, and five hundred pounds of charcoal. They are all based on Mr. Sima’s family. They made five sets of new clothes for each of the children. .”
"But in private, I also prepared a set for Sister Duan and Hanyan alone. A set of gold and jade jewelry, ten pieces of silk and satin of various colors. Two gold ingots, five silver ingots, and a set of mink for her. Fur jackets, jewelry and mink fur jackets, I didn’t dare to prepare too much for fear that others would see it and become suspicious. So in terms of gold and silver, I gave more.”
Speaking of Wu Ziyu, He Yao rolled her eyes at Huang Qiong and said faintly: "I don't know what you are thinking about? Okay, don't worry, everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared. Just be careful and don't do some things. It's too arrogant. After all, sister-in-law is different from us. You can avoid the slaves in the yard. If something gets spread, people will be killed. "
After He Yao finished speaking, Huang Qiong couldn't help but feel a little stunned. I thought that going to Wu Ziyu's place was very secretive, but I didn't expect that He Yao would find out. Looking at He Yao's somewhat resentful eyes, Huang Qiong said with a guilty face: "Sister Yao, I'm sorry for making you worry about me. I never thought about hurting Liu Hu and Sister Yu."
Now that He Yao already knows, Huang Qiong is not hiding it. Liu Hu's injury, she and Liu Hu's real relationship as husband and wife. He also told He Yao everything about some of the changes that had occurred after he and Wu Ziyu had sex. Even when he went to Wu Ziyu's place several times, he said: "I never thought about taking her away, but there are some things that I can't control."
Before Huang Qiong finished speaking, He Yao covered his mouth and said softly: "Do you really think you can hide it from others? Don't forget, I am also a woman. During this time, sister-in-law, Although he is a little evasive when he sees us, his complexion seems to have been nourished and is much better than before. Who else in this family can be attracted by my sister-in-law, besides you? "
"Not only did I see it, but Duan Jin and Han Yan also saw it. There are some things you don't understand. Whether a woman has had a man or not, you can tell by her complexion. Before that happened, she looked very capable. But he looks a little haggard. Now he looks very good. Compared with the haggardness in the past, it can even be said that he looks like a different person."
"I thought she was because of something, but I didn't expect such a thing. Well, you should pay more attention to yourself. When you go, be secretive. Don't let Wanqing and Xing'er find out, let alone the people in the house. The servants found out. Three people become tigers, not to mention that you have an affair now. If word gets to Liu Hu’s ears, something might happen."
"As for why the situation happened after you had sex with her, I can guess a little bit. She should be the kind of woman with an extremely yin body. For those who practice martial arts, a woman with this kind of physique can have It’s a great help. You are relatively strong in that area, which means you have too much yang energy. And the internal strength you practice, Sister Duan told me, is originally from the Taoist lineage."
