The two of them helped Qin Ming enter the room, and Xiao Changxi asked Qin Ming to go back to the house.
She helped Qin Ming lie down, and then helped him take off his coat and shoes.
Xiao Changxi saw that Qin Ming's forehead and face were stained with sweat, so she took out her handkerchief from her arms and wiped Qin Ming carefully.
Seeing Qin Ming drunk, Xiao Changxi felt very sad. She knew that the reason why Qin Ming went to drink with others was because of herself.
If it weren't for himself, he wouldn't offend the son of the uncle of the current dynasty.
Xiao Changxi was standing next to Qin Ming at that time.
She clearly felt Qin Ming's anger, and knew that even if Cheng Chumo didn't show up at that time, he would not send her out.
Before Cheng Chumo appeared, she saw the murderous intent in Qin Ming's eyes, and his slightly raised hand, obviously calling Qin Da to go up and take care of the second son of the eldest grandson.
Seeing Qin Mingwei and himself drunk, Xiao Changxi's heart that had been calm for many years suddenly became turbulent.
She slowly put her hand on the veil, then slowly took off the veil and put it in her arms.
Xiao Changxi slowly leaned down, and when her lips touched Qin Ming's lips.
She secretly told herself that this time, this kiss was just to repay him for saving her and Zijun.
But what Xiao Changxi didn't expect was that Qin Ming opened his eyes because of this kiss.
Qin Ming was drunk and confused. Looking at Ke'er in front of him, he thought Qingwan was here.
So one hand naturally hugged the person in front of her, letting her lie on top of him.
The other hand grasped the mountain with familiarity, holding the person in his arms.
Qin Ming turned over and pressed her under him, and put his mouth on her again.
Xiao Changxi was a little stunned by this sudden change.
When he reacted, T was already pinned down by Qin Ming and his mouth was blocked. He couldn't get free even if he tried to struggle.
His body was also becoming weaker and weaker due to the movements of Qin Ming's hands.
She could only let Qin Ming invade her. At this time, she had already accepted her fate. Looking at the drunken Qin Ming, she thought about it as repaying her kindness.
So he began to respond to Qin Ming's actions.
At this moment, Qin Ming only felt that his body was floating on a soft surface, and the panda and Tingqiao in his hands were much softer than usual.
Gradually, he got lost in it, and was no longer satisfied with scratching his clothes. In a daze, he roughly tore off the clothes of himself and the person beneath him.
After a while, with a squeak, the whole bed began to shake.
Qin Ming only felt that he was in a warm place, constantly exploring and groping, until a long time later, he lay down on a slippery surface and fell into a deep sleep.
....
In the fifth year of Zhenguan, on October 20, at Sishi, in Anrenfang, Chang'an City, there was the residence of Wang Gui, the official in charge.
In the living room, Wang Gui sat on the main seat, looked at the people in the living room and said:
"Everyone is here, so I won't go into details. The main reason for asking everyone to come to the mansion this time is for the imperial court to erect a merit monument outside Chang'an City."
"This matter is of great importance to us and other members of the aristocratic family. Everyone should share their opinions."
Zheng Wendao, the person in charge of the Zheng family in Xingyang in Chang'an:
"What is there to discuss? If we don't donate, what can Li Shimin do to us?"
Cui Cheng, the person in charge of the Qinghe Cui family, said:
"Hey, what Brother Zheng said is wrong. This is obviously Li Shimin's conspiracy. If we don't donate money, then when the merit monument is erected, people all over the world will see it."
"If there are no names of our families on the merit monument, or if we don't donate much money, how will people in the world think of us wealthy families?"
"What Brother Cui said is absolutely true, but are we going to suffer the loss of being dumb like this?"
Lu Hong from the Fan Yang Lu family said.
Sitting opposite Lu Hong, Cui Xiu, the head of the Boling Cui family, stood up and said angrily:
"It's all thanks to that traitor Changsun Wuji to come up with such a trick. It's really hateful."
Suddenly the hall was filled with all kinds of abuse directed at Changsun Wuji, and Changsun Wuji became the only target for everyone to vent their anger.
Wang Gui, who was sitting in the main seat, saw that everyone who was polite just now turned into a group of scolding shrews in the market. He patted the table helplessly and said:
"Okay, don't yell for now. I've called you here to agree on a consensus, not to scold others. Now that everyone is clear about this matter."
"Then let me talk about the decision of our Taiyuan Wang family. Our idea is that we must donate, and we can only donate the most money, not less than merchants or ministers."
"I have just arranged for someone to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs after going to court. The largest donation now is from the royal family, who donated 10,000 guan, and then Changsun Wuji, who donated 2,000 guan."
"What I mean is that each of our families can donate 2,500 yuan, which is more than Changsun Wuji."
"What do you think?"
Cui Cheng of the Cui clan of Qinghe was the first to stand up and express his support. Seeing this, everyone else also responded.
Only Zheng Wendao of the Zheng family in Xingyang said:
"Hey, two thousand five hundred guan is not a small amount. I really don't know how to explain it to the family."
Next to Zheng Wen, Cui Cheng from the Cui family in Qinghe said:
"Brother Zheng, don't worry. When the refugees arrive, the price of food in Chang'an City will definitely rise. How much we donated today will be sent back to us by the court several times or dozens of times later."
Everyone laughed when they heard this. Only Wang Gui, who was sitting on the main seat, showed displeasure.
However, there was nothing he could do about the five surnames and seven hopes that were linked to each other. When the interests of the family and the country conflict, he can only choose to side with the family.
After seeing everyone discuss it, Wang Gui asked everyone to go back and prepare.
....
In the fifth year of Zhenguan, on October 20th, at noon, Taiji Palace and Ganlu Palace
Li Shimin was sitting in the main hall and was about to have lunch when he saw Queen Changsun and Princess Changle walking into the main hall. Li Shimin said doubtfully:
"Guanyin maid, why are you back from Dongshi so soon?"
Queen Changsun said:
"Erlang, we have something more important to tell you. There is a piece of clothing here given by Qin Ming. How about you try it on first?"
As he spoke, he took the down jacket from the palace maid behind him and handed it to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin took the clothes and looked them over again. There was nothing special about them except for the style and lightness. However, he still wore them under the service of his eldest grandson.
The eldest grandson arranged Li Shimin's collar, and then she discovered that Li Shimin's dark blue clothes were embroidered with two red carps.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the eldest grandson asked, "Erlang, what do you think? Do you feel warm?"
Li Shimin moved his arms, felt his body again, looked at Changsun and said:
"It's indeed warm. I even feel a little hot while I'm talking.
Hey, what are the clothes of Guanyin Maid made of? Why is it so warm? "
Changsun smiled, helped Li Shimin take off his clothes, and said:
"Qin Ming heard you tell me last time that I was sick and worried about catching cold. In the past few days, I found someone to make it specially for my concubine. I also made one for each of you and Changle, Your Majesty. .”
"I heard from him that each piece of clothing needs to be stuffed with the down of a hundred geese to achieve this kind of thermal insulation effect."
