Don’t Learn Mandarin Ducks - Chapter 50

    Li Jingyun held an expression of hesitant to speak, and after a long time, he reluctantly said: “Why are the elders in the family happy? Naturally, it is the joy of adding a baby.”

    Oh Tim.

    Hua Yue took the brush next to her and wanted to write it down seriously, but just as the ink fell on the rice paper, she paused and raised her head in surprise: “Tian Ding?!”

    Li Jingyun waved his hand indifferently: “Master, you are not a concubine willingly, how can you give her any grandchildren? After Master enters the palace, you can live with her. The lady is.”

    The words were all spoken by him, and Huayue was at a loss for a while.

    He didn’t seem to think about it, but he just said this casually, or she didn’t have the eyesight, so she wanted someone to say it.

    She bowed her head in reproach, she said embarrassedly: “My concubine makes the son embarrassed.”

    “It’s okay.” Li Jingyun waved his hand generously, and thoughtfully took the hairbrush in her hand and put it in the empty wooden box, “Let’s go, Lord, I will accompany you to greet you.”

    Hua Yue is so touching. Compared with when she first came to the East Court, the young master is really gentle and sensible. He was misunderstood.

    The son also never explained anything to anyone, even if the whole general’s mansion said that he was the second-generation ancestor who didn’t make a fuss, he didn’t argue for half a sentence, and only secretly defended this big family. , If you are injured, you will hide in the east courtyard to deal with it.

    Remembering his scars, Huayue sighed melancholy.

    “What?” The people next to him looked over, “Didn’t you tell me to accompany you to the main courtyard, why are you not happy?”

    “No.” Rubbing her eyelids, she said apologetically, “I feel a little ashamed of my son.”

    Li Jingyun didn’t start, the corners of his mouth were greatly raised.

    So shameless, how could he be so shameless to the little girl?

    Keep it up!

    With a light cough, Li Jingyun turned around and laughed at himself: “What do you have to be sorry for, it is the Lord who is sorry for you, you are in charge of things well, and suddenly you Being dragged into the water by the Lord, the peaceful days turned into trouble for no reason.”

    “No no no.” Hua Yue quickly waved her hand, “Young master has helped a lot.”

    If it wasn’t for him, she wouldn’t be able to retaliate against Situ Feng.

    “You don’t have to console my lord.” Looking up at the clear sky, Li Jingyun sucked the tip of his nose, his eyes full of sadness, “Master knows that you must have resentments in your heart, you could have married a good family, married a husband and taught children, When you become the master’s concubine, you will end up as a widow.”

    My face was a little red, and Huayue stammered: “It’s… very good.”

    “Where is it?” He glared at her, “The books say that your daughter’s family likes children very much.”

    “…”

     scratching her ears and temples, Hua Yue couldn’t help but ask: “Master, what books do you read on the couch every day?”

    “The Book of War.” He answered confidently, then slightly weaker, “There are a few miscellaneous books.”

    Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, she shook her head, looked straight ahead, and said in a low voice, “Since you have become the son’s concubine, this is the fate of the concubine, and the son does not need to worry about the concubine.”

    The person next to her looked at her with distress and self-blame in her eyes, then sighed and shook her head.

    Hua Yue’s heart softened, she felt that the young master did not seem to be full of bad water, but also seemed to have a heart of compassion.

    The previous defenses, resistance, calculations and injuries seem to have faded away. Now the two are walking on the corridor of the General’s Mansion, and they are really close like a family. Her floating heart, It finally calmed down.

    This feeling of being cared for and loved by others is really long gone.

    The two entered the main courtyard. As soon as Huayue opened the door, she felt something was wrong.

    Something seems to stop crying.

    She called out, “Madam?”

    Shuang Jiang lifted the curtain of the partition and came out, and smiled apologetically: “Young Master and Young Concubine are here, Madam is inside.”

    Hua Yue pulled the curtains into the jade hooks on both sides suspiciously, and saw Mrs Zhuang smiled at the door with red eyes: “Jing Yun is here.”

    Li Jingyun followed and entered the door, gave her a salute with a faint “um”.

    “Shuangjiang just bought a peach candied fruit today, do you try it, see if you like it?” Mrs. Zhuang said softly, “If you like it, buy more for my mother, and in the future… You can take some with you wherever you go.”

     Huayue heard it, she knew the general’s arrangement.

    She turned around and gave Li Jingyun a silent bow. He was a little reluctant, but after glancing at her, he went into the inner room and sat on the low stool, and replied in a muffled voice, “Okay.”

    Hua Yue pulled Frostfall and ran to the door, frowned and asked in a low voice, “Who told Madam?”

    Frost is helpless: “The general himself.”

    “…” Hua Yue really didn’t understand why Zhuang liked the general so much, and the general seemed to have a grudge against her. .

    From the time she entered the mansion, she found that the Zhuang family had the intention of committing suicide. When she came, she used the third son to comfort and coax her every day, and then she reluctantly took a breath.

    As a result, now the third son is going to enter the palace, and he will not be able to return to the palace for several years.

    The roots of her teeth tightened, and Huayue stepped into the door again.

    Li Jingyun sat beside Zhuang, with a cold expression, but she answered her question patiently, and Zhuang smiled and whispered.

    Kayue watched quietly and thoughtfully.

    Every time he came out of the main courtyard, he was not in a good mood. Huayue looked at it and felt even more apologetic. She chased after him a few steps and took his hand.

    “Young Master.” She asked cautiously, “Do you really want to follow the general’s arrangement and go to the palace?”

    The man in front of him didn’t have any resistance, and nodded very naturally: “It’s nice to enjoy the shade under the big tree. Since he has arranged everything, why don’t you still disobey?”

    I usually have no disobedience, but now I am obedient? Hua Yue gritted her teeth, shouldn’t the average son-in-law be against the arrangement of his parents, and he must find his own way? He is so rebellious, why doesn’t he struggle?

    Considering the words, she softly persuaded: “The martial arts test is imminent, the son is very good at martial arts, don’t you want to try it? In case of high school…”

    Li Jingyun squinted his eyes and said unhappily: “What’s the point of being a champion in the middle? A player who plays Go can’t compare to a player who plays five sons in a row, and a hundred-move Chuan Yang is no better than someone who can’t draw a bow. It’s not as good as the Forbidden Palace’s order.”

    There was a sour smell for no reason, Huayue “hiss” covered her cheeks, grinned and said: “Isn’t that to make the fifth prince happy, so that he can save you once, how do you care? Now.”

    The skin smiled and didn’t smile, Li Jingyun fluttered his sleeves: “Yes, it doesn’t matter if you are happy or not, he is still a waste who needs to be saved by others, and what kind of martial arts test does he take? Shame.”

    Kayue was choked to the point of being speechless.

    How come there is no bickering champion in the imperial examination? If there is, this lord just go, and he is guaranteed to win the top spot.

    In the evening, Li Jingyun took her to the Qifeng Building, pointed to her and said to the shopkeeper: “If the master is not here in the future, the money will be managed by her, and she can use it as much as she wants. Use, as long as you keep enough silver taels for the operation of this Qifenglou, the rest will be left to her.”

    The shopkeeper’s eyes widened and looked at him as if he was looking at some monster.

    Hua Yue understood the shopkeeper very well, then she tugged at Li Jingyun’s sleeve and gritted her teeth: “Young master, I have seen the account of Qifenglou, no matter how much you lose, you can’t lose so much!”

    He rolled her eyes at her, and snorted coldly, “I will give it to you, can you handle it?”

    Flower Moon: “…”

    The words are weird, how can they be so irritating when they come out of his mouth?

    According to the general’s meaning, Li Jingyun will take office next month. Huayue can clearly feel that Li Jingyun is arranging various matters, so that she will not be bullied after he leaves, and she wants to give her Enough silver flowers, and even ordered the number of times Chaofeng and Mingshu came to the General’s Mansion to accompany her.

    Sitting on the soft couch, Huayue looked at the moonlight falling on the windowsill, very melancholy.

    Since she got angry and separated, she never went to share the bed with him again, Li Jingyun didn’t say anything, washed and went to bed as usual, and even came back late a few times, passing her soft By the couch, she will also tuck the quilt for her.

    In comparison, she felt like a naive child.

      He walked over and flicked her forehead.

    “Anything to worry about, eh?”

    Hua Yue returned to her senses and said vaguely, “No.”

    He nodded, walked to the bed and sat down, touched the half-dry hair, yawned and lay down: “Blow out the lamp.”

    In response, Huayue picked up the quilt, blew out the candle, then stepped on the embroidered shoes and ran to the big bed and put the quilt on it.

    Li Jingyun opened her eyes and looked at her, her eyebrows moved: “What?”

    However, the man on the bed didn’t feel anything wrong, he moved inward, and let her go up generously.

     She lay down beside him with a guilty conscience, she pulled the quilt over her head, and stared at him.

      A voice: “Can’t sleep?”

    Chicken nodded as if pecking at rice, Huayue’s eyes moved slightly, and she reached out to probe his forehead: “Is your son catching a cold and his voice is hoarse.”

    The man in front of him coughed twice, and said indifferently, “It took a while to blow the wind out of the bath.”

    “Even if it’s getting hot, it’s not good to blow the wind in the evening.” She frowned and got up angrily, “My concubine, I’ll go get you two Baofeng pills.”

    “No need.” He squeezed her wrist and coughed again, “Just get some sleep.”

    The cold water for washing is naturally like ice, otherwise it will be washed in vain.

    Li Jingyun smiled and did not answer, only shook the thin quilt on the bed.

    The person next to her really couldn’t stand it any longer, and generously shook off her quilt and covered it together.

    “Aren’t you cold?” He raised his eyebrows.

    Hua Yue shook her head: “There is still…”

    There is another ghost, he threw all the extra quilts into the room of eight buckets.

    The warm breath came from her, he rubbed it nostalgically, and moved away as if he had some scruples.

    The corners of her mouth twitched slightly towards her ears, Li Jingyun stretched out her hand and pressed her head on his shoulder, and asked with a smirk, “Aren’t you cold?”

    “No!” She answered righteously.

    Li Jingyun’s heart softened, he stroked her hair, and suddenly kissed her forehead.

     Touch gently, with a bit of forbearance.

    Hua Yue was stunned for a moment, but she didn’t resist like before, she only asked: “Why does the son always like it, he always likes things like this.”

    “Wait?” He joked.

    “That’s it.” Pointing to her forehead, cheeks and lips, she was a little embarrassed, “It’s too intimate.”

    Li Jingyun paused for a while, then suddenly smiled bitterly: “Master thought that you like to be close to Master, but I never thought of sharing the same bed for so long, so you still treat Master as an outsider. Well, when Master enters the palace, If you meet someone else you like, let Mrs. Zhuang write you a letter of divorce and remarry.”

    “No, no.” Hua Yue was taken aback, and quickly explained, “This is not what the concubine meant, it was just not used to it.”

    He smiled even more bitterly, raised his hand to cover his eyebrows, and said in a low voice: “You don’t need to say these words to make the scene, Lord knows in your heart that you were forced to come to the East Court, and The one who was forced to be with the Lord was the one who delayed you.”

    “Hey, it’s not.” Holding him at a loss, she said anxiously, “Young master is incomparable, even if you do it right by accident, the concubine is not at all reluctant. I was just heartbroken by the son’s few words, and I dare not think about it any longer. Now that the son is being honest, how can he expect to remarry.”

    He looked at her in disbelief.

    Kayue raised her hand to assure him: “Really.”

    Li Jingyun nodded reluctantly and closed his eyes sullenly.

    One, two, three.

    Counting silently to the third time, the man next to him came up and kissed him on the lips.

    “Be intimate, this is like a serious concubine.” She muttered to herself.

    He couldn’t hold back, turned his head to the side and let out a low laugh.

    “Young Master?” The person behind him raised his head suspiciously and looked at him.

    “No.” Li Jingyun coughed lightly, “I feel relieved, it’s not a waste of life to be able to be gentle these few days.”

     Huayue nodded and continued to nest in his arms full of guilt.

    A good night’s sleep.

    In the early morning of the second day, Su Miao came to the east courtyard, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw her little sister-in-law dressing her cousin.

    As she leaned towards the door, she shook her head, the little sister-in-law’s waist was so beautiful, like a slender bottle with branches wrapped around her waist. Cousin this wicked head is on the head.

    Just as she was sighing, she saw the little sister-in-law tidying up her cousin’s clothes, and then she tiptoed and pecked him on the lips.

    Li Jingyun enjoyed it very much, and gave a flat “um”, but didn’t start laughing like a proud big-tailed wolf.

    Su Miao: “???”

    Aware of the gaze at the door, he turned his head and looked over, his eyes narrowed, which was quite threatening.

    Su Miao was so angry, she stomped her feet and shouted, “little sister-in-law!”

    Hua Yue turned around and saw her coming, she smiled and said, “Miss Biao, the son is going out today, I will accompany him to eat first, and then go shopping with you.”

    Su Miao ran into the door, pulled her over, and asked very sadly, “Did cousin beat you?”

    “Huh?” Hua Yue was at a loss, “Why did you say this?”

    “If he didn’t hit you, how could you be so nice to him?”

    Being dumbfounded, Hua Yue whispered, “No, I’m just… being a concubine, isn’t it unusual for him?”

    It is very common to put it on others, but these two—she and Wen Guzhi were still making a bet yesterday, betting on when the cousin will be able to completely subdue the little sister-in-law. One hundred taels, three months after reviewing the old knowledge, one thousand taels.

    I thought it would be safe to make a profit, but who would have expected this to change.

    Su Miaozhi stomped her feet, coaxed her little sister-in-law out to serve breakfast, turned her head and grabbed Li Jingyun’s collar: “Did you use magic?”

    Li Jingyun slapped her hand away with a slap, smoothing the folds on the front of her clothes one by one: “Don’t talk nonsense early in the morning.”

    Aggrievedly covered her paws, Su Miao threw him something angrily: “If you start, focus on it, I won’t give you this thing.”

    He stretched out his hand to take it, Li Jingyun glanced at it, folded a few folds and put it in his sleeve pocket, waved his hand and said, “If you have merit, what you want to buy on the street today will be in your account.”

    The anger on her face suddenly turned into flattery, Su Miao hammered his arm with a smile: “It’s still cousin who will hurt people, I wish you success.”

    Flipping his face is faster than flipping a book, Li Jingyun shook his head and asked her again, “Is the fifth prince all right?”

    “The confinement has just ended, but according to the meaning of the sage, it seems that he will be sealed as a king and moved out of the palace.” Su Miao glanced outside the door and whispered carefully, “The prince helped him to say two things. A good word, it is estimated that the prince can be sealed.”

    “It’s not necessarily a bad thing for him.” Li Jingyun pursed his lips, “When he is 3 years old, Xu Shi will be able to take his mother-in-law out of the cold palace.”

    Su Miao sighed: “Cousin, you are not kind, they are riding horses on Luohua Street to save you. .”

     Bai her a note, Li Jingyun snorted coldly: “Master didn’t help, the prince said good things to him for no reason?”

     After a slight choking, Su Miao threw her cuffs and gave him a salute: “Little lie, don’t take it to your heart, just treat it as a small one and don’t say anything.”

     Huayue came back with breakfast, the conversation between the two ended without a trace, and they sat down to eat together.

    “You bought something in the afternoon, are you going to Yongqing Temple?” Huayue asked.

    Su Miao nodded with a smile: “I’m going to live for a while. If my sister-in-law misses me, she can also go and see it, and burn incense by the way, bless and bless my cousin.”

    Remembering who else was in Yongqing Temple, Li Jingyun quietly kicked her.

     Taking a breath, Su Miao immediately changed her mouth: “Of course, it’s okay if you don’t come.”

    Hua Yue nodded and served her vegetables: “If I have time, I will go upstairs for a walk.”

    Li Jingyun knocked on the bowl.

    She understood, and immediately brought him more dishes and stopped talking about it.

    This is too shameless, Su Miao shook her head again and again, thinking that Shen Zhiluo was not enough to see, the fifth prince had to step back a little, none of them was her cousin’s opponent.

    ***

    In the next few days, Li Jingyun seems to be very busy, getting up early every day to go out, and letting Huayue cover.

    Huayue has gone from being uneasy at the beginning to lying to the general without changing her face. Today, he said that the son had eaten a bad stomach and was resting in the mansion. government.

    The general never doubted.

    Yin Ru and the others have been eyeing Kang Zhenzhong recently, wanting Huayue to inquire about the news, but Huayue didn’t answer, but turned her head and secretly asked Shuangjiang.

    Shuang Jiang said that Kang Zhenzhong had recently been promoted, from the governor of the festival to the cabinet, in charge of the imperial examination next month, and there is no word on where it will be held.

    Hua Yue took time out of the house to meet someone.

    The teahouses next to the downtown were mixed with dragons and snakes, and the noisy discussions resounded throughout the second floor.

    She sat opposite the others in the innermost wing of the second floor, and under the cover of the lively, she asked in a low voice, “Can you find it on your head?”

        He was sipping tea, and laughed when he heard the sound: “How to investigate? Who would believe in the head of the arsenal, and would do that day-to-day murder? Even if they put Han Tianyong’s body in front of me, as long as I don’t recognize it, they will I can’t do anything about it.”

    After a pause, he put down the teacup and asked, “When can I kill Han Shuang?”

    Feng Zixi was the younger brother of the great Wei Liangchen Feng Zixu. Feng Zixu died at the hands of the eldest princess. Feng Zixi hated the Han family. The last time she was at the Fifth Prince’s birthday banquet, she sent a letter to him to kill him. After meeting Han Tianyong, Feng Zixi came to pay her respects after the event was completed.

    He doesn’t know what the little master of the West Palace is, he only knows that he can take revenge by following her.

    But Han Cream…

    Hua Yue has a complicated mood: “Since she was kidnapped once before, Miss Han is now surrounded by a lot of guards, and if she does it rashly, she might startle the snake. Now there is another person who killed him, Donggong There will be chaos, and you can do anything to the Han family when there is chaos, and you can retreat.”

    Feng Zixi thought about it for a moment, then smiled: “Kang Zhenzhong.”

    “How do you know him?” Hua Yue raised her eyebrows.

    “The national teacher also looked for me.” Feng Zixi said in a sullen voice, “I don’t want to follow them, I don’t have family and country in my heart, I just want to avenge my brother.”

    Hua Yue is very curious: “The national teacher came to you, not afraid of being known by the prince?”

    “How do you know? If I go to inform, the prince’s suspicious nature can let me, a Wei person, let go?” Feng Zixi shook his head, “Master Guo Shi is shrewd, even if it’s not a few years. If he is alive, he will not seek death in advance.”

    My heart jumped, Huayue raised her eyes: “What does it mean to live in a few years?”

    “You don’t know?” Feng Zixi sneered, “I also eavesdropped, the national teacher once came to talk to my brother, I hid behind the curtain and listened to what he said that there is destiny. At the end, it will be at most ten years, and counting the years, there are only two years left.”
