Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 114 Concubine
Many people in Luoyang still remember the grand occasion of Yuan Zhonghua marrying into the Bohai Palace.

Later, Gao Chengnar Zhu Ying'e, because she was a concubine of Emperor Xiaoming and empress of Emperor Xiaozhuang, was worried about being criticized, so she only started in a low-key way.

And Xiao Erzhu and Yuan Mingyue got married in Jinyang.

This time Mrs. Song entered the door, and finally had another lively time in Luoyang City.

It has been a year since the eclectic story about Mrs. Song has been passed on, but she was cast aside by many gossips behind her back: the former princess was reduced to a foreigner, and she didn't even get a title.

Gao Cheng comforted the three concubines in the family in advance, and after talking to Yuan Zhonghua at the Qinghe Palace, he decided to make a big deal of the marriage, and let Mrs. Song marry into the Bohai Palace.

On the 23rd of the first lunar month of the third year of Taichang, the Bohai Prince's Mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the guests were entertained.

Whether it was the members of the Gao Clan or the clan king, they all brought gifts to congratulate upon receiving the invitation, except for Duan Shao.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Duan Shao didn't receive a wedding invitation among all the dignitaries in Luoyang City.

The reason is naturally that Duan Shao took another beautiful concubine a few days ago, but he refused to let Gao Cheng see the bride. The narrow-minded little Gao Wang kept it in his heart, and deliberately sent wedding invitations to the rich and powerful in the city, but he missed Duan Shao, his cousin. .

There was no invitation card, and Duan Shao didn't see him, so he went to the door with a congratulatory gift.

'Could it be that Ah Hui can still drive me out! '

Duan Shao understood Gao Cheng's feelings for him very well, and when he was about to fall off a horse in a play that day, there were so many generals, but he only confessed that he and Hu Luguang stayed by his side.

Cousin can still take it seriously if he gets angry with himself for some trivial matter.

As soon as Duan Shao entered, Gao Cheng saw him and greeted him loudly:

"Cousin! Come here! Look at Cheng's bride!"

When Duan Shao came over, Gao Cheng put his arms around his shoulders, and with the other hand, he lifted Lady Song's round fan, and said with a smile:
"How can my bride be like a cousin, wife and concubine?"

Duan Shao can be considered to have a lot of experience, but in his opinion, only Yuan Mingyue is slightly better than Mrs. Song.

"My wife and concubine are ugly, how can I be as good as my son to benefit the bride."

He only glanced at it, then averted his gaze.

Only then did Gao Cheng return the fan to Lady Song, and smiled at Duan Shao:
"Cousin, do you think it's true that a cousin is not allowed to visit the bride when someone is newly married?"

'I knew I couldn't escape this. '

There was really nothing he could do about this narrow-minded cousin, so Duan Shao could only laugh and say:
"Of course not. Tomorrow I will bring my wife and concubine to meet Zihui's family."

Gao Cheng let him go.

With the verification that his reputation is not bad, the smile on Gao Cheng's face grew wider.

Just when he was laughing happily, his good brother Sima Xiaonan also came.

As soon as he saw Gao Cheng, he hurriedly pulled him to an empty corner, and said with a sad face:

"Zihui, I checked in the clan, and it turns out that I am really not the heir."

Gao Cheng thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be this, and was about to comfort him that it was his own wild imagination, but Sima Xiao couldn't make the next sentence so Gao Cheng couldn't hold back.

"Do you think I was conceived by my mother who went to the temple to beg for a child?"

Since the Buddha was extinct, scandals about monks have been publicized. Nowadays, it is not a good word to go to the temple to ask for a child.

"Dao Rong be careful! Don't think too much, although Uncle Sima has a violent temper, but you are really his son."

After Gao Cheng comforted him, he sent his good brother away.

Sima Xiao had difficulty leaving, Gao Cheng turned around and saw Sima Ziru coming out of the corner.

I don't know if it's the night, or the mood, but Sima Ziru's face is very dark.

Gao Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, thinking whether he should say a few more good words for his good brother.

Sima Ziru only said, "I don't believe in Buddhism."

So he hurriedly went to find Sima Xiao.

Gao Cheng didn't intend to get involved in the plot of Sima Ziru teaching his son today. Sima Xiaonan's actions were too much, and he actually put a label on Sima Ziru.

Of course, in history, this hat was put on by Sima Ziru himself. In order to save Gao Cheng, he slandered Sima Xiaonan for having an affair with his concubine.

As the night darkened, both the host and the guest enjoyed themselves, and after the banquet, everyone dispersed.

After going through many etiquettes, only Gao Cheng and Mrs. Song were left in the bridal chamber.

The candlelight was dim, and Mrs. Song called softly:
"Lang Jun."

Seeing that her eyes were blurred, Gao Cheng didn't dare to stay for a long time, for fear that he would not be able to control it.

After returning to her own room, she asked the maid to fetch two buckets of warm water. After taking a bath, she calmed down and slept together.

The next day Gao Cheng returned to Mrs. Song's room, she was doing her makeup in front of the mirror.

"Let me draw your eyebrows."

Gao Cheng laughed.

Lady Song obediently turned her plain face to Gao Cheng.

The boudoir fun of the thrush is Gao Cheng's specialty, he asked:

"Anu, do you want Yuanshan eyebrows, or Qingdai eyebrows?"

On weekdays, I often paint for big and small Erzhu and Yuan Mingyue.

"But according to your will."

Lady Song said softly.

Seeing her fresh and natural appearance, Gao Cheng approached Mrs. Song and said:
"You don't move yet."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and kissed the tear mole at the corner of her eye.

Lady Song also noticed that Gao Chengyou loved her tear mole, and she was very happy.

Gao Cheng drew distant mountain eyebrows for Mrs. Song, and laughed a little before Gao Cheng left.

He went to Xiao Erzhu's house and Yuan Mingyue's house one after another before going to see Erzhu Ying'e.

The maids and servants in the yard saw Gao Cheng approaching and knew that the two of them were going to play again, so they retreated one after another.

"Your Majesty pays homage to Her Majesty the Queen."

Gao Cheng knelt down and saluted.

Er Zhuying'e took a look, and it turned out that today it was the empress and the officials, not the nun and the pilgrim. Fortunately, she had asked someone to clean up the meditation room where Yuan Ziyou's spirit seat was enshrined.

But after working with Gao Cheng for a long time, changing roles is easy for her, she raised her chin slightly, and said coldly:

"It's hard for Aiqing to remember me today."

"Why did His Highness speak like this, and taught the officials to panic."

As he spoke, Gao Cheng bluntly remonstrated:
"Your Highness, my minister said that Yu Wentai set up a hypocrite arbitrarily, and He Liuhun harbored evil intentions. Your Highness, please be careful."

Er Zhu Ying'e held back a smile and asked:
"Ai Qing thinks how to deal with these two people?"

"The lower officials think that Yu Wentai deserves to be punished for his crimes. He Liuhun can be exempted from the death penalty, but he cannot escape the crime of living. He should be beaten with a hundred army sticks. I am willing to execute the sentence for Your Highness."

Gao Cheng said seriously.

"Yu Wentai has provoked the wrath of heaven and people, he should be punished, but Gao Wang has made great contributions to the country, how can he be punished with a stick."

Erzhu Ying'e refused to speak.

Gao Cheng argued:
"Your Highness must not be deceived by He Liuhun. He doesn't abide by the etiquette of emperors and ministers, and treats the emperor with contempt. If he is not punished, the lower officials will think that this person will be uncontrollable."

"In that case, deal with it according to Ai Qing's wishes."

Although a bit absurd, Er Zhu Ying'e followed Gao Cheng's wishes.

Gao Cheng immediately wrote the words He Liuhun on a piece of paper, pasted it on the pillow, and patted it a hundred times with his hands before he stopped.

"Look, your hands are red and swollen."

Er Zhu Ying'e held Gao Cheng's hand and said distressedly.

"It's okay."

Gao Cheng laughed.

The resentment in my heart for Gao Huan's missed opportunity also dissipated.

　Calvin is gone, there are still [-] words left, let’s write it during the day, my mind is a bit fuzzy now, and if I continue to write, it will really become a word count.
