Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 99

    Before the imperial decree was sent to the Duke of Lu, Qin Shi was talking to Feng Guifei.

     Qin Shi was not young, and the whole house was terrified after he passed out that day.

    Feng Yuan asked Zheng’s mother to deliver Qin’s waist card into the palace, and gave Feng Guifei the news.

    Feng Guifei begged to be in front of Emperor Zhengyuan and wanted to go out of the palace to visit her mother.

    At that time, Emperor Zhengyuan was busy with the ceremony and took Gu Ye to the Hall of Mental Cultivation every day. He had no time to deal with her, nor did he want her to see Gu Ye in the palace. The news, thinking about whether she was out of the palace during this time, agreed to Feng Guifei’s request and allowed her to stay at her parents’ house for a few days.

    The concubines in the palace can leave the palace and return to Ning, it is really a very respectable thing.

    On the sickbed, Mrs. Qin heard Feng Yuan say that Concubine Feng was going back, so she immediately recovered, and ordered Mother Zheng to quickly clean up the courtyard and decorate the lintel.

    When Concubine Feng returned to Duke Lu with more than a dozen boxes of gifts and the imperial doctor, the Qin family ate the precious medicinal herbs in the palace and got better again in the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial doctor, Can be helped to sit up on the bed.

    Feng Guifei persuaded her later: “Why should mother be angry with these unworthy people? Can the brothers in this palace still lack a daughter-in-law?”

    The Qin shi gritted his teeth and said: “The niangniang is right, a Geshi is naturally not worth anything, but the British government is so arrogant that people pretend to be servants to deceive me… Then Even if the family doesn’t look at our family, who are also the princes, they should look at the face of the empress!”

    Concubine Feng prepared to show Gu Yin and Wang Shi’s face at the palace banquet last time, but she was stabbed by Queen Zhou and failed.

    This time, the British government obviously did not take her seriously.

    Concubine Feng squinted and said: “Our family affairs, the British government has to intervene, and resorted to such abusive tactics, really hateful. But my mother still cares about her body. That reckless husband surnamed Wu is very strong, no matter how much we hate it, we can only swallow this breath first.”

    Speaking of this, Concubine Feng gave Qin Shi a meaningful look, “The mountains are high and the rivers are long, and our family’s good days are ahead, mother and watch.”

     Qin Shi naturally reacted.

    There are only two Queen Zhou and Concubine Feng in the harem of Emperor Zhengyuan.

    Although Empress Zhou also has a prince, but the little Lu Zhao she gave birth to is sick every three days, she is really sick. And at this age, he still can’t talk and walk very much, like a swaddle baby, he has to be held every day.

    On the other hand, Feng Guifei’s son Lu Xu was born in the same year as Lu Zhao, although he was thinner than ordinary children due to the relationship between the dragon and the phoenix. But under the careful care of Concubine Feng, she can run, dance, talk and laugh.

    Queen Zhou is no longer young and is unlikely to be pregnant again.

    Emperor Zheng Yuan was also born from the grassroots. And because Lu Xu was more affectionate with him, the father and son looked more affectionate.

    Even if there are other concubines and concubines who enter the palace later, and they are happy, they are still several years younger than Lu Xu, who was born to Feng Guifei, and cannot be compared.

    There was only a smile on Qin’s face, she took her hand and patted, “Fortunately, God has mercy on our family, not only your brother is a promising one, but also let me I have a daughter like you, and I have a unicorn like your Highness!”

    The Qin shi added: “It’s a pity that our highness cannot leave the palace. As a grandmother, I don’t see him a few times a year.”

    Hearing him mention Xiao Lu Xu, Concubine Feng turned and asked, “Where is Ayu? I sent a message to my brother earlier, saying that His Majesty the first month will choose a companion for the prince, he will Don’t know how to come out to greet me? It’s my aunt who wants to mention him.”

    Qin sternly said again: “It’s fine if you don’t say it, but if you say it, you will get angry. Your brother told him about this earlier, but he said he had promised to accompany some friends outside to study… Your brother got angry and beat him up. Later, his worry-free mother asked me to be locked at home and couldn’t communicate with the outside world. How could her street vendor parents know the news and even asked the British The one from the Gongfu came to the door? Don’t think about it, you know that he sent a letter to the outside… I had him locked up and beat the servants beside him to half to death, so he was honest.”

    Feng Yu is the eldest son of the family, and Feng Yuan’s only son, Qin Shi finished his scolding, and helped him with two good words, “I’m still a child in the end, it used to be Let his mother teach him bad, I will teach him personally in the future, and then he will be sent to the palace. With the guidance of your aunt, this child will distinguish between good and bad. He is really good, and I found a few gentlemen for him. , no one said he was bad at all, it will definitely be a great help to our highness in the future!”

    Concubine Feng was a little unhappy when she heard that Feng Yu was not willing to enter the palace to read as a companion to her son because of a friend. But after selling her mother’s face, Concubine Feng still said: “Then let him go, I’ll have a good talk with him.”

    The Qin family called Feng Yu out.

    Feng Guifei looked like a loving elder. First of all, he said that he had grown up a lot and lost a lot of weight. He had a lot of fun, and Feng Yu respectfully responded one by one.

    Feng Guifei mentioned it again, and said, “Your Majesty has recently found several people of insight to enter the Wenhua Palace. The weather has been warm these few days. It happened that you came to the palace to join your cousin. Enter Wenhuadian to study. It’s good for you, you should understand, right?”

    Feng Yu bowed and saluted, “My aunt is kind, I can save it. But I did promise others to come first. My cousin can enter the Wenhua Palace, and I don’t need a company like me. read.”

    The smile on Feng Guifei’s face faded immediately, Qin Shi let Feng Yu go down when she saw it, and winked at Zheng’s mother.

    Mother Zheng immediately understood, and already thought about turning back and waiting for Feng Guifei to leave, and killing the servants around Feng Yu on the spot!

    If you want to talk about the affairs of the family of the Duke of Lu, it is definitely not Feng Yu’s turn to call the shots.

    But when I go to the palace to read with the prince, naturally I can meet Emperor Zhengyuan from time to time. If Feng Yu is reluctant and behaves badly in front of Emperor Zhengyuan, it will affect the whole family. .

    So Qin Shi and Feng Guifei were useless, and wanted to persuade him.

    But after spending so much time talking, Feng Yu still stuck his neck and refused to answer.

    Feng Guifei persuaded the Qin family not to get angry because of family matters, and to take a longer view.

    At this time, her face was also full of anger, and she said resentfully: “Mother is right, this Ayu really made his mother’s upbringing bad. Things that can’t be on the table!”

    Speaking of which, Concubine Feng began to persuade the Qin family to re-marry Feng Yuan.

    After the re-marriage, of course, it will add a child to the family. Without him, Feng Yu, naturally there will be other cousins ​​and brothers to support his son.

    On this stall, the imperial decree from the palace came.

    On the second day after Concubine Feng came out, someone came from the palace, Qin Shi got up and dressed and said with a smile, “It must be that Your Majesty loves Empress Chong and bestows you grace.”

    Feng Guifei was in a good mood immediately, holding her hair in a bun and holding her maid’s hand, she stood up with a smile and said, “Your Majesty, too, the gift of grace, give me a message before I leave the palace, and bring it back in private. That’s it. Why did you issue an imperial edict? It’s too eye-catching.”

    The mother and daughter laughed like flowers and went out to receive the order, and then they were dumbfounded.

      the one.

    Because Feng Yuan has not come back, the news has not been revealed, and there is an extra eldest son out of thin air, and it is the child raised in the British public mansion before, Qin Shi is completely stunned and asks indifferently Concubine Feng said: “This is the grace given by Your Majesty? My son, it’s so hard for you to lie to me!”

    Even if the opposite is her own mother, Feng Guifei is embarrassed to say that she only knew about it today. It’s a pity that she boasted about how she was favored before, but she was kept secret for so long in the palace like a deaf and blind person.

    Recalling how smoothly this trip went out of the palace, the more I think about it, the more I feel that Emperor Zhengyuan was sending her away!

    After she left, Qin shi lied back on the bed in a daze, and finally understood why she was reprimanded by the Queen Mother in the first month-because she cursed the British prince in the theater that day The child of the government is the current King Lie.

    The more Qin Shi thought about it, the more frightened he became, the more he sweated.

    Later, I waited until Mother Zheng came over, only to find that Qin Shi was unconscious again!

    …

    Emperor Zheng Yuan took Gu Ye to the court in the morning, issued the imperial decree up and down the court, and immediately arranged the Taimiao sacrifice ceremony.

    The grand ceremony ended at noon in the afternoon, because it was busy from early in the morning until this time, Zhengyuan Emperor did not leave any more people, let the ministers go back to rest, and invite the ministers the next day Entering the palace with a foreign wife for a banquet.

    Gu Ye must stay in the palace very late this day, so Wu Qingyi went back early.

    Gu Yinzheng and her family invited Wang to watch the rehearsal of the play.

    Master Wen’s speed in changing the book is really fast. Gu Yin gave him a reference template before, and he wrote part of it within two days. At that time, the stage on the fifth floor, which was repaired first, was built.

    Gu Yin immediately took the book and gave it to Brother Xiaofeng and the others for rehearsal.

    This work is a bit boring, but fortunately there is such an old drama fan as Wang.

    There is not much ink in Wang’s stomach, and she does not understand what she is talking about after listening to some difficult dramas.

    Although the story of “Kindness” is already well-known, Wang is still willing to go to the rehearsal.

    The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were about to go out, and Wu Qingyi just came back.

    Wang suddenly said: “Oh, why am I so dizzy for no reason. Da Ya, I’m afraid I can’t accompany you, otherwise I will accompany you as Qingyi.”

    Wang’s body is always in good shape. Anyway, Gu Yin has never seen her have any headaches until now.

    And her eyes were ruddy, and she didn’t look sick at all. While saying that she was uncomfortable, she had a smile on her lips, and she secretly looked at them both at the end of her eyes.

    The fool also knew that she was deliberately creating a space for Gu Yin and Wu Qingyi to be alone.

    Gu Yin glanced at her with a smile, then turned to ask Wu Qing if she wanted to go.

    Wu Qingyi couldn’t remember the last time she was alone with Gu Yin, and it seemed that it was the same day that Light Food Yashe opened a few years ago. He went to pick up Gu Yin to work. The weather was freezing at that time.

    Although the two still meet and talk from time to time, but every time there is something serious to talk about, and they are also at home, I don’t know when Gu Ye or Wang will come to find someone, put the two of them together The few alone spaces are occupied.

    Wu Qingyi got up immediately and said, “It just happens that it’s early today, I’ll change clothes and go with you.”

    He put down the tea cup that had not touched his lips, and quickly went to the study to change his clothes.

    When he changed into his casual clothes, Mr. Wang, who had just said that he had a headache, had already set up the car.

    Wu Qingyi came over while arranging his rotator cuff, and when he saw it, he said, “I can drive without a driver.”

    Wang’s hand raised when he said this. If the driver was not beside him, the slap would have reached the back of Wu Qingyi’s head.

    My son, my own! Mrs Wang recited it silently several times in her heart, then pulled him aside and said in a low voice, “Are you stupid? If you let the driver drive, you and Da Ya can hold hands and talk in the carriage. If you drive in the cab , Da Ya is in the carriage, what can you two say?”

    Wu Qingyi thinks it is true.

    In the past several times when he went to pick up Gu Yin from work, he always asked the driver to go home by himself, and he came to drive.

    Although Gu Yin almost always sat with him on the carriage, but when the carriage was moving, it was windy and dusty outside, and no one would keep talking with their mouths open at that moment, not enough Drink the wind and eat the soil!

    So usually two people sit quietly.

    He didn’t dare to say this to Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang went to pick up Gu Yin when he saw that he was free, and even praised him for being enlightened.

    Let my mother know what happened in the past. It is estimated that whether the driver is around or not, she will be angry.

    Fearing that her mother would come back, Wu Qingyi immediately got into the carriage.

    Gu Yin had already stepped into the carriage ahead of him, and sat firmly.

    Seeing that he was in a hurry, he smiled and said, “If you are not in a hurry, it is still early, so it is okay to slow down.”

    As he spoke, he handed over the tea cup, “I asked the maid to make it fresh, and you didn’t drink any water when you came back from outside.”

    Wu Qingyi took it with a smile, opened the tea lid, and found that it was not ordinary tea, but a scented tea that ordinary women only drink.

    The scent of the flower tea is fragrant, but it does not suit his taste very much, but since Gu Yin handed it over, he still took it and drank it.

    Gu Yin followed: “Seeing that you have been busy these few days, you are thinking that you should get angry. In this scented tea, there are wolfberry and chrysanthemum flowers, which are soothing and clearing heat.”

    Gu Yin took the tea cup he had finished and put it on the small table, “Why do you get back so early today? Although His Majesty said that there will be a banquet only tomorrow, but the civil and military officials are very busy today. For a long time, it is the big day of the eldest son of the emperor, and everyone should still be in the palace.”

    Wu Qingyi nodded and said yes, “It is true that I am the only one to leave first. The rest are still there.”

    Afterwards, he went on to explain: “We Ono have regained his identity, and we all know that he was raised in our family. If my adoptive father stays until the end, he will naturally be in the limelight. After all, Ono is His Majesty’s parent and son, I I’m afraid that Your Majesty will be grumpy.”

    Gu Yin nodded and said: “I also told Xiaoye privately before, let him remember to mention me less in front of the empress. Never say ‘my mother’ like when you are outside. What’s the matter. No need to hurt their mother-son friendship.”

    If this kind of errand falls on the head of someone who is obsessed with power, as long as the person does not die, it is impossible to hand this errand to someone else.

    Gu Yin looked at him in surprise.

    Wu Qingyi was a little embarrassed by her, and asked her what she was looking at?

    Gu Yin shook her head and smiled, “I only knew that you were heroic, but I didn’t expect you to be rough and meticulous, and you thought very thoughtfully. And the courage to delegate power… I used to underestimate it. is you.”

    Wu Qingyi’s current identity has been praised by others a lot, but it was the first time that Gu Yin praised herself face to face.

    He blushed, clenched his fists to his lips and coughed lightly, “I don’t really have big ambitions. I followed King Yi at the beginning, but I was forced by the old dynasty. If you commit a treason, then stick to it until the end, and get to where you are now. Now the world is at peace, Your Majesty is wise and martial, whether it’s ordinary people or our family, life will definitely get better. What do I want those powers to do? A wealthy and idle person, like today, accompanies you to go to work every day, and picks you up at night. It’s good.”

    Gu Yin said with a smile: “Even if you don’t want to gain power, it’s not easy to be such an idler. You are circling around me all day, what are you talking about? Others want to talk.”

    Wu Qingyi raised her eyebrows: “What will others say?”

    Gu Yin thought about it for a while, and said, “Probably say that you don’t want to make progress, and that I have a bad face?”

    The two were talking across the small table on the carriage. Since there were no outsiders present, they didn’t pay attention to their manners. When they spoke, they got closer and closer.

    Gu Yin now walks outside with her bangs combed and her black hair tied into a snake bun. This will make her look more mature, more similar to the age of Mrs. Lu and other female guests.

    But in the bumpy way of the carriage, her soft bangs had fallen to her forehead disobediently.

    Seeing that he suddenly stopped talking, Gu Yin only looked at herself.

     Her face was hot, and she lowered her eyes and asked, “Is it because I don’t look good when I dress like this?”

    Wu Qingyi immediately shook her head and said no, “It’s here, it’s messed up.”

    While speaking, he finally reached out and combed the broken hair behind Gu Yin’s ear.

    His rough and warm fingers brushed against her forehead and fell behind her ear.

    Gu Yin’s ear piercing was pierced after she arrived in the capital, because Wang said that she had a lot of gold and silver jewelry at home.

    But Gu Yin was not used to wearing the kind of hanging earrings, so she made earrings with the most pearls in the storeroom.

    The white and round pearls adorn her lustrous and plump earlobes.

    Wu Qingyi lost her strength unconsciously, knocked the pearl crooked, and subconsciously tried to make up—

    When he came back to his senses, his fingers had been stroked.

    Gu Yin’s earlobes were warm and soft, but Wu Qingyi only felt that her fingertips seemed to be playing with the clouds in the sky. A little bit of force can break it.

    The temperature of his fingertips rose suddenly, and Gu Yin only felt that the earlobe was also infected with the scorching heat.

    Gu Yin’s cheeks were flushed, her eyes were shining, her usually clear voice became soft and waxy unconsciously, “I’ll do it myself.”

    Wu Qingyi refused to let go, and even bullied her into approaching, and said in a low voice: “No, it will be fine soon.”

    The pearl earrings were finally reinserted and put back in their original positions on his fingertips.

    Gu Yin’s ears were already bleeding red, and she didn’t know if she was playing with him or was ashamed.

    The carriage stopped behind, Gu Yin didn’t need him to help, she quickly got out of the car, and then went to her restaurant.

    Wu Qingyi naturally followed quickly.

    Gu Yinkuai seemed to be chasing her, and headed to the fifth floor.

    Seeing Brother Xiaofeng and others, the redness on his face subsided.

    After her rehearsal, Brother Xiaofeng and others have already achieved the essentials.

    And some other members of his troupe are now assigned by Gu Yin as field workers. It is said that the stage effects have been made according to Gu Yin’s requirements.

    Gu Yin calmed down and made everyone move.

      The tripod lights illuminate the stage very brightly.

    Brother Xiaofeng and others have already started the performance, except for the sound of their lines, the room is so quiet that you can hear needles falling.

    In such a quiet and dim environment, Wu Qingyi followed.

    He came from the outside, and he suddenly arrived in such an environment, and it took a while to get used to it before he could see.

    He found Gu Yin’s place, walked to her side and sat down.

    The mellow and low voice rang in Gu Yin’s ear, and he asked her, “What are you running for? I can’t eat people.”

    It’s not an environment where the two of them are alone. Gu Yin is not afraid of him anymore. Looking at the side of his ear, his eyes were as deep as water, and the ends of his eyes were faintly red.

    Is this not known to eat people? I wish I could eat her apart!

    Gu Yinwu scolded herself, Wu Qingyi didn’t get an answer, thinking she was fascinated by watching the rehearsal, and didn’t hear her own words, so she leaned closer to her ear.

    “Huh?”

    A “hmm” with a lazy ending sent the heat to Gu Yin’s ears.

    Although he did nothing right now, the numbness in his ears immediately rose, and Gu Yin trembled unconsciously.
