The Possession of My Beloved (Hidden Charm) - Chapter 144
Liu Miantang didn’t expect her mother-in-law’s lip-smacking skills to be very good, and suddenly clicked on her seven inches.
She immediately became short-tempered and said with a guilty conscience: “I…Isn’t this the first marriage? Naturally, it is the little girl’s short-sighted thinking, just look at her appearance. And you only know when you meet your mother, I was proud of you. When I saw you, I couldn’t help feeling close to you. Later, when I went back to see the prince, I suddenly realized that the prince looked like you and was really likable… So even if he deceived me for a while, later forget it.”
This flattery was shot into the heart of Concubine Chu.
She forgot the sorrow of her son’s long journey, and said with a smile: “Everyone says that Xingzhou looks very much like his father, but although his father is handsome, he is less It’s because he has a bit of my appearance between his eyebrows, which is more handsome than his father… But it’s really not enough to look at people’s appearance. I think that Li Guangcai is quite honest, our family Cui Fu There is nothing missing, if you find a stable son-in-law with a promising future, it will be more useful than good looks.”
Miantang tilted her head and said: “Isn’t that the truth? Mother, you are a past person, and you can see things clearly. I watched the pulse, and most of the symptoms of mother’s food accumulation a few days ago have disappeared. It can be seen that I The formula that I used for the food is still effective, I will make more this time, mother, you have to think about drinking it…”
Concubine Chu patted her hand back and said: “Xingzhou also said that you are a poor man, drinking your medicine can pull out your whole intestines, but according to me, you are too It’s no worse than Master Zhao’s medical skills.”
Mian Tang said sincerely: “That’s how lucky you are, mother, you have caught up with the good times. When I was a first-time medical student, I was in the northwest, and I was too embarrassed to say hello to the neighbors who had pulled out. Now I touched the doorway, but I didn’t dare to see any serious illness, but I just learned some recipes to regulate my stomach.”
Concubine Chu couldn’t help laughing because of her teasing, and she wanted to cry again: “You guys go, big and small, I miss it, it’s not good, I’ll go with you too Got it.”
Liu Miantang didn’t dare to joke about her mother-in-law’s body.
When the time comes, their family will be reunited in Zhenzhou, wouldn’t it be fun?
In short, the topic of Li Guangcai’s not being handsome enough was finally fooled by Liu Miantang.
These two marriages were mostly based on the wishes of their daughters. They also don’t expect to be attached to the lintel of any wealth and glory to them in the Huaiyang Palace. Li Guangcai was considered to be the confidant of King Huaiyang after all.
In the end, Princess Chu finally nodded her head.
Although Cui Fu agreed to get married, she was inexplicably angry when she saw Li Guangcai, and she didn’t give a good face when she saw him coming to the door to sign the marriage certificate with a happy face.
It was Jin’er who turned around Li Guangcai and asked him if he brought any toys for him.
Li Guangcai asked the servant to bring a pony, with a black body, snow-white hooves, a sniffling nose and a trembling mane, very majestic.
Jin’er didn’t expect Uncle Li to give him a pony, and immediately shouted excitedly, calling the old woman to carry him up and ride.
Cui Fuli was looking down from the embroidered building, looking at Li Guangcai holding Jin’er on a horse, he couldn’t help laughing.
Mian Tang poked her neck beside Cui Fu and secretly thought that Mr. Li had made another blood.
After discussing with Li Guangcai, Cui Xingzhou decided that this time the troops and horses were not moved, and the food and grass should go first.
And unlike when he went to the northwest for the expedition, the people said goodbye, Cui Xingzhou politely declined this time to hold a ceremony for him.
Cui Xingzhou knew that he had a high reputation among the people. He didn’t want to go out on an expedition and make a fuss about the situation, and give Shi Dang and Yangshan’s old team a handle.
At that time, the brigade will be assembled outside the capital, and will only start quietly, which also saves a lot of fuss.
Although the lord thought so, but Liu Miantang did not say such words when he entered the palace and said goodbye to the queen: “The lord does not wish to go to great lengths, but he really thinks that the treasury is not rich, and he has no strength. It must be used on the edge of the knife. If it is due to the holy will, and if it is really sent by Long Live, this ceremony of expedition and practice must not include a large vat of wine, piles of beef and mutton! Which one must not spend a lot of money! With that kind of money, Prepare more food and grass, more military shoes, knives and guns, it is more economical than eating a big meal, Queen, do you think this is the truth?”
Empress Shi heard what Miantang meant by wanting to cash in the money, so she just smiled and said, “You husband and wife are really good people, unlike those who seek fame and reputation, you have to get some Lao Shizi’s pomp. Okay, this palace will turn around and talk to the sage, and the money saved for practice will also be allocated to the army’s pay.”
This clear-headed person speaks freely, and Liu Miantang is naturally thankful for the grace of the second sage.
However, Queen Shi heard that Miantang was going to go to Beihai with King Huaiyang, but she warmly discouraged: “Long live, I heard Cui Aiqing say, princess, you have to bring the baby back with the concubine. The state, he only agreed. But now you are ignoring the fatigue of the boat and the car, and follow the prince to that place where the sons are full of maladies, I’m afraid… long live… you won’t agree.”
A while ago, the rumors about Yangshan Lu Wen and Mr. Ziyu were so violent, Miantang guessed that Queen Shi must have heard something.
However, this wide-hearted and fat queen is a person who can hold things in her heart and never shows a trace. But what he said just now clearly revealed something.
Miantang just pretended she didn’t understand, smiled and said: “Actually, the concubine knows that when the generals are released, they should keep their family members in Beijing. Putting it back in Zhenzhou, only the king of Wancheng, the virtuous king, has such a mind that he does not use. It’s just that the courtier and concubine made a poisonous oath. Since marrying a military general, no matter the mountain of swords or the sea of fire, it will be related to his life and death. Follow me, I hope the queen asks her majesty to fulfill this stupid wish of the concubine.”
Queen Shi listened quietly and smiled slightly: “Huaiyang King is really a blessing from his previous life, to be able to have a woman like you who values love and righteousness with you in life and death. It’s probably an unforgettable taste in a lifetime…”
Miantang raised her head slightly, looked at Empress Shi’s peaceful face, and said, “Whoever does not envy the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty can marry a virtuous queen like you. The so-called high place is too cold, but long live Only because of you, the Queen, can you go through all the storms and revive the Great Yan Dynasty. This is the great love of the dragon and the phoenix that helps each other in the same boat. How can I compare with a firework couple like Wang Ye?”
A person with a clear mind not only speaks freely, but sometimes does not need to speak too much.
Queen Shi understood the meaning of Miantang’s words, got up with a smile and helped Miantang get up and said, “Since the princess said it like this, it’s not good for your husband and wife to be separated.”
Just as Miantang told her to leave the palace, Empress Shi seemed to have just remembered, and while walking with her in the imperial garden, she said: “Qingzhou and Zhenzhou are not far apart, princess, you too You are a person who knows everything about this palace, so you don’t have to talk to you like you would with those hereditary princes and wives. As for her young age, she always thinks about unrealistic things. Since she was a child, she has always wanted the wind and the rain. Now, I am the queen, and the Shi family has become a foreign relative, sometimes relying on the grace of Long Live , I don’t pay much attention to what I say. Although Ben Gong is my elder sister, but she also listens to her persuasion. My father spoils his daughter, and seems to have offended the prince a few days ago… He also please support this The palace generation is to accompany the prince.”
What Queen Shi said, Miantang is not what is going on, she can only agree first. Queen Shi finally sighed and said, “When Ben Gong was not married, she was just a concubine of Shi’s house, and she was not very close to her father. The princess told the prince that Ben Gong is Ben Gong and Shi family is Shi family. .”
Mian Tang seemed to have something to say when she heard these words, but Queen Shi did not continue to speak, and she was inconvenient to ask.
Because the opening is imminent, Cui Xingzhou is usually busy in the army and seldom returns to the house. Today, it is rare to return to the house early to hug his son.
When Miantang returned to the inner courtyard, he saw him holding Xiao Yier and playing with the branches under the peach blossom tree.
She didn’t rush to change her clothes, so she came to Cui Xingzhou, and while teasing her son, she talked about what Queen Shi said today.
Cui Xingzhou was not surprised when he heard it, so he explained: “Guo Zhang Shi Yikuan talked to me a few days ago, saying that my trip to Beihai this time is overkill, and the Guo Zhang is also a little unhappy about this. Speaking of this appointment, it is not without room for manoeuvre. But this time, Yangshan’s old clan made it hard, and he is not easy to open his mouth to manoeuvre for me. He has a young daughter, and he admires me for a long time, and he is reluctant to marry him. If the two families are married by marriage , he became my elder, so he can help me deal with it justifiably… In the future, in the courtroom, they will take care of each other, and they will be able to do things with ease.”
Listening to Cui Xingzhou’s words, Miantang immediately understood, pulled off her cloak and stared, “Should the surnamed Shi be shameless? Knowing that you are married, you are so shameless to recommend his girl. , is he willing to let his daughter be a concubine?” Speaking of this, Liu Miantang paused, and immediately said, “No! How can the queen’s sister be a concubine, is he trying to force you to divorce your wife, or to surrender your wife to be a concubine? concubine?”
Cui Xingzhou sent Xiao Yi’er, who was blowing bubbles, to Miantang’s arms, and said: “Shi Laoer was not finished, I drove him out of the military camp. My words to him. I have no interest at all, so why should you mind?”
Xu Shi felt that her mother was unhappy, Yi’er’s chubby hand kept grabbing her mother’s face, and her wet mouth nibbled around her neck.
