"Qingya!" A soft voice like a warbler came. After hearing this, Qingya turned her head and immediately freed Wanyanyong's hand.
At first glance, it turned out to be Wulin Mingxuan, the concubine of the Yong Kingdom. They had been separated for only a few years, but the years had not changed her peerless appearance. Now she was even more stable and graceful. She had a slender figure, wearing only a light green dress and a fur collar. , her hair was tied up with simple hairpins, and although she was dressed simply, it did not hide her stunning talent. Every move she made was better than that of the immortal.
Qingya suddenly recovered, and hurriedly ran forward and fell into Mingxuan's arms. With tears in her eyes, she called out: "Sister-in-law!"
Mingxuan stroked her long hair gently, with tears in his eyes: "Qingya, you have grown so tall now! Thinking of when I passed away six years ago, when you stood on the steps and hugged me with red eyes, It's not even close to my waist, but now it's like I'm taller!"
She quietly raised her eyes and looked up at this stunning beauty: "Sister-in-law, Qingya has grown up now, so she has naturally grown taller."
Mingxuan's tears instantly fell down and hit the palm of her hand. She wiped them with silk: "Sister-in-law, now we finally don't have to write each other to express the pain of missing each other."
"Yes! Now that I'm back, we need to have a good phone call."
After hearing this, Wanyan Yong strode over and said as he walked: "Letter? It turns out that your sister-in-law sent the letter from afar. The lonely king thought that the elegant and hard-hearted people never missed us!"
She lowered her head and whispered: "My cousin has a family. I am a woman who has not yet left the court. I exchange secret letters with you all day long. If others find out, it will bring bad reputation to my cousin, so I will hand over the letter to you." As for my sister-in-law, I can also greet my cousin."
"You are quite clever, you came up with this idea!"
Qingya said perfunctorily: "Well, yes!"
The three of them walked side by side on the corridor. Mingxuan took another closer look at her and asked, sizing up her figure: "Ya'er, I just met Ru'er. She is as beautiful as a flower and jade, with round and rosy beads. Why are you looking at her?" You've become so thin."
"But do you have any serious illness?"
She lowered her eyes and smiled: "Anyway, I am in good health! Although I am thin, I am very strong. Maybe I am practicing martial arts with my eldest brother, and I have lost weight since I exercised more."
"A girl must have more flesh to look better. She has a face like a silver plate and is plump and plump. After I gave birth to the child, I became a little fatter. I am not as slender as when I was a girl."
Qingya also looked at Mingxuan and said: "It seems that my sister-in-law is a little plumper, but she is a stunning beauty. It doesn't matter whether she is fat or thin."
Wanyanyong took her wrist and looked at it: "Qingya is too thin. You are growing taller. Wan should eat more. Your sister-in-law has become more radiant since she gave birth, and her skin has become fairer and rosier. Others are joking. , It is said that it is nourished by the love of the lonely king."
She put her wrist away and looked into Mingxuan's eyes: "That's inevitable. My sister-in-law was beautiful when she was a girl. After she got married, she was nourished by her brother's love, so she became even more beautiful."
"If you think about it, when you enter the palace, the lonely king will treat you like this."
When she heard such shameful words, she frowned and became silent. Mingxuan turned to Wanyanyong and said, "Okay, sir, don't scare her. Qingya is still young after all."
"That's all, the lonely king is making fun of you. I guess the banquet has been served. Let's go inside and eat something!"
Mingxuan walked faster: "I heard from my aunt that she has prepared some dishes from Sichuan and Shaanxi. They are sour, spicy and refreshing. You will need to eat more soon."
"Okay, they say those who love spicy food are beautiful. Now I want to eat more. Let's see if I will become as beautiful as my sister-in-law in the future."
Mingxuan smiled from ear to ear: "You are such a clever guy! Your mouth is still as sweet as ever."
The aunt and sister-in-law held hands and walked intimately to the main hall. After finishing Yan Yongju, they became more and more confused and said: "I don't know whose sister you are, Qingya. I see that you two are the same family."
She didn't look at him at all: "As my cousin said, be careful that my sister-in-law lets you sleep on a low bed."
"Your sister-in-law wouldn't do this!"
The three of them walked side by side, one tall and two short, just waiting for the sound of talking and laughing to fade away and disappear around the corner. Looking down at the corridor, the night was as cold as water, and it was clear that the snow was vast. Suddenly, the cold wind passed by, raising the strange crimson color. Flowers are piled up in the open space.
After the banquet, the male family members played chess outside the screen, while the female family members sat behind the screen around the two cauldron fires, chatting about homely matters. Mingxuan and Gongren sat on the couch around the corner, and Jiagu Tantan sat on an armchair, elegant and Qingru. They all sat on small piers.
Only Mingxuan's son Yungong, wearing a small fur hat and thick cotton clothes, dressed like a fur ball, walked between the two groups with small steps, holding a cloth tiger in his hand. , from time to time he would walk next to Xianke who was sitting far away reading, and play with Xianke's calligraphy brush and poetry book.
The maid served a Tang Pozi, and Gong Ren smiled kindly and handed it to Mingxuan: "Your Majesty is naturally cold, so warm your hands with the Tang Pozi."
Mingxuan's next words were like soft clouds: "Auntie, you're welcome. When we talk as a family, please don't be formal."
"Okay, okay."
Mingxuan glanced at Yungong, who was playing next to Xianke in the distance, and said: "Cousin Xianke is so hardworking. He is already like an adult at the age of five or six. It was his uncle and aunt who taught him good."
Kyouto nodded slightly and said, "He is a man of few words. He has not been active since he was a child and has no other interests. He only likes reading and writing. With his temperament, I am really worried."
"What's there to worry about? Only children like this know how to be educated and sensible. From now on! If he can enter an official career, he will be an honest person. On the other hand, Yun Gong's temperament follows that of his father, but he is still as active as I was when I was young." After she said this, she covered her face with her hands and smiled, her face glowing red.
"Xuan'er, you are tenacious, smart and beautiful. It is best for the county king to take into account the virtues of both you and your husband."
"That's what my aunt said!"
Mingxuan took a sip of milk tea and looked at Qingya again. Seeing that she was alone with her head lowered in thought, she told Gongren: "Ya'er and Ru'er have lost their cheerfulness and straightforwardness in the past. Now they are indifferent." They are really like sisters-in-law, like two quiet ladies of the family."
When she mentioned this, the two of them immediately turned their heads to look at her. Qingru replied with a smile: "What my cousin said is that when you grow up, you will naturally become calmer."
Qingya raised her mouth slightly and raised her head: "When I was young, I was smarter when I was with my cousin and sister-in-law. I didn't expect that I have become stupid now. I really can't keep my head silent by myself. I still need to move around more with my brothers and sister-in-law." .”
After hearing this, Jiagu Tantan took the maid's Tang Pozi and gave it to Gongren, and then said to Mingxuan: "Cousin, please take a look! As soon as my uncle saw you, he was willing to talk. In the past, he was alone Come with your head down."
Mingxuan held Qingya's hand: "I see the same thing."
Mingxuan looked at Jiagu Tantan's brows with a trace of haggardness when she put down the cup, and said: "Speaking of which, sister-in-law, your complexion is not very good, so you must adjust it well. Concubine Jiagu is deceased, I hope you will also express your condolences." .”
Jiagu Tantan suddenly became a little excited, and turned her head slightly and said: "I have nothing to be sorry for. It is the path she chose by herself. When she was a girl at home, I advised her, but she insisted on doing something royal. As for the concubines, the palace is a place of disputes, and the decline of favor will last for a while. Now that I am fine, I was killed by His Majesty himself, which can be regarded as a tragic ending."
It turns out that Concubine Jiagu, whom Your Majesty personally killed a few days ago, is the sister of Jiagu Tantan. As soon as she mentioned Concubine Jiagu, she became excited, her cheeks suddenly became dizzy, and a trace of water appeared in her eyes. Wu Wu, although she spoke those stubborn words, could not hide the sadness in her heart.
Gongren handed the snacks on the tea table to Tantan and said: "Xuan'er, don't make fun of her. Tantan is a smart-mouthed kid with a heart. She has been friends with Concubine Jiagu since she was a child, and she has always been considered her eldest sister." Sad news, this child has been crying for several nights."
Mingxuan sighed softly: "Brother-in-law, please express your condolences! The old friend has passed away, but the living still have to take care of themselves. Come to think of it, although we female relatives are not allowed to participate in politics, the story of the country is really inseparable from our women, aunt The Wugu Lun family is the most prominent among the married families, but compared with the Tushan family, my aunt's brother is Taizu's consort, and my niece can be His Majesty's concubine?"
Kyouto nodded: "Yes, yes!"
"Look at my memory. This clan has many marriages, and people are confused. Then the state affairs of the previous dynasty must be inseparable from our women. Your Majesty is also confused. Such indiscriminate killing of innocent people will make every family feel chilled. "
"With Empress Dowager De being favored in the palace, our Wu Gu Lun family can be at peace and at ease. Otherwise! I don't know what will happen. I don't know when the days of such worry will end."
Qingya nodded and lowered her eyebrows a little jokingly: "As the old saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world. Maybe one day in the future, there will really be a wise master who will save the common people?"
Her words actually made everyone stay silent for a long time. Mingxuan hugged Little Tang Pozi and looked at her. Kyouto's eyes were also moving on her. For a while, all he could hear was the faint sound of the charcoal fire burning in the furnace. Several people were speechless for a while.
It wasn't until Xiao Yungong staggered over with the little tiger in his hand, and shook the little tiger against Qing Ya's knees, that everyone's thoughts were brought back.
She glanced at Yungong's fleshy face and raised her head from her knees, then stretched out her hands to pinch his face, picked him up, and took the little tiger from his hand and said, "Call me aunt. If you don't call me, I won't do it." Here you go!”
But Na Yungong lowered his head, then turned to look at Mingxuan, his big watery eyes blinked and called: "Ma'am!"
"Child, what are you calling me for? Please call me cousin!"
That Yungong was so cute, he lowered his head and clasped his hands together, and cautiously called: "Cousin aunt!"
"Hey! Now I'm obedient and I'm here to give it to you." She was really sweetened by his appearance. She tickled the bridge of Yun Gong's nose lovingly and handed the cloth tiger to him.
