The little lady in the dining room

Chapter 174 Flattery
After the banquet was over, the emperor sent his younger brother and nephews away, went to the bedroom hall, drank emetics and vomited violently, and ate a small bowl of sour bamboo shoot and chicken skin soup to sober up.After lying down for a while, he sat up and said, "Go to Jiugeyuan."

In the Jiuge courtyard, Xue Li was too bored in the room and dared not come out, and drove all the maids out.

The newly delivered pajamas are too...too...too enchanting and charming!
The material is light and soft, and the streamer will turn slightly as the light changes. The key is that it is half as thin as ordinary materials.It's okay for her to lie still, let's stand up...all the lines that shouldn't be shown are very, very clear, obvious!

The part of the heart garment is still made quite low, and it is gathered tightly, forming a gully on the chest, and the thin outer coat can only cover it into a "disguised" effect, and it is impossible to completely block it.

What does the person in front of the imperial court mean!
Now she really wants to bring back Xiaocheng who just sent the message and beat him up!
After waiting and waiting, seeing that he hadn't come yet, Xueli hesitated and got off the bed, intending to find another set of pajamas from the cabinet to change into.

This outfit is really out of place.If she hadn't always had a good relationship with Yuqian, she would have wondered if they were trying to trick her!
Therefore, as soon as Xie Zhao entered the door, what he saw was Xueli sitting in front of the cabinet and rummaging through clothes...

Under the thin pajamas, the fair skin is looming, hidden, looming, and revealing!

He took a deep breath, feeling that the smell of alcohol that had just subsided rushed to his brain again.He stopped to maintain his sobriety and stood there for a while, then walked towards her with big strides.

"Sydney." The voice behind her startled her, and her hands froze, "Wait, wait for me... I, I, I..."

The armpit was suddenly lifted, and another just-right force turned her around. Xie Zhao helped her shoulders to stabilize her, and lowered her gaze inadvertently...

The crisp breasts were so close in front of his eyes that he really froze for a moment.It stands to reason that the two of them don't know how many times they have had sex in bed, so they shouldn't feel so shy anymore, but right now...

Seemingly dressed is even more sultry than revealingly dressed!
"Cough..." Xie Zhao turned his head away after coughing lightly, swallowed forcefully, and said in his heart that he had done it to himself.

This material was originally brought in by Hu Rengong from the west, where the climate is dry and hot, and this light and thin material is often used in clothes.But when you come to Luo’an, it’s not suitable to do anything. The main reason is the difference in style. It’s too transparent to make an upper skirt, and it’s more transparent to make a lower skirt. Let’s make it the outer layer of the lower skirt or apron...with other clothes inside. At first glance, the material with the pattern of the Central Plains is very strange.

At that time, he was thinking of giving this thing to her. After thinking about various styles and finding it inappropriate, he suddenly dreamed of something wrong, so he ordered, "Make pajamas according to the size of Sydney."

The Bureau of Shangfu naturally did as he ordered, and after it was done, it was presented to him for a look... Only then did he realize that it was really inappropriate for her to wear this!
It doesn't matter if he has some "evil thoughts" when he looks at the material, if he wears it for her, he doesn't know if she will be unhappy.

Xie Zhao knew very well that Sydney was indeed very delicate and soft in front of him, but in the final analysis she was still a decent girl.This pajamas are so thorough... I'm afraid they could compete with a brothel, doesn't it seem like he intends to belittle her?
In this way, after the clothes were made, he was put away.

But why is she wearing it now? !

Xie Zhao looked at the ground beside him, who was relieved for a long time, and the burning in his heart was slowly suppressed.

His restrained voice was a little heavy: "Your clothes..."

"Xiaocheng sent it just now!" Xue Li hurriedly explained, with a look of "I didn't want to seduce" your sincerity.

Xiaocheng?

Xie Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, and gritted his back teeth: It must be Chen Jijiang or Xu Shishui's idea!
"Cough..." He coughed again, and turned to say, "This is for you, but if you don't like it, don't wear it in the future. I don't treat you as that kind of person."

Really not, it's just that he is a big man, so he will inevitably think about the girl he likes dressed...attractively!
He was justifying himself, but Xueli heard it, and the point was indeed another matter—it was your idea? !
Made her feel embarrassed for a long time!My heart is so complicated!
She gritted her teeth, looked around to make sure that the doors and windows were closed, brewing up her emotions, walked around him with catwalks: "Oh, my lord, you can't leave the slave's house behind when you see this at night, no, Tube, ah."

The last three words clearly feel a bit gnashing of teeth.

Xie Zhao: "..." She is revenge!

When Xueli saw his face stiffen, she became more excited to be around him - anyway, she had already been caught by him dressed like this, so let her dress like this again in the future. She didn't have the courage, so she had to make the best of it this time!
So she cheekily tried her best to tease him, put her jade arm on his shoulder, and brought her face so close to him that her eyelashes could scrape his chin.She breathed lightly, and said with a slight smile: "The servant of the slave family is going to wash?"

Xie Zhao bent down and hugged her horizontally, and the skirt of the enclosing style fell down his body after such a movement, Xue Li still couldn't help her blushing, and buried her head in his arms.

Xie Zhao raised his eyebrows: It's too late to look cute now.

Was it because he drank too much or did she tease him?Why is he acting like he won't let her get out of bed the next day!
The direct result was that the next day was full of sun, and Sydney was still lying on the couch and couldn't get up.

My back hurts, my back hurts, and I can't exert myself!

So she just lay on the couch to wash and eat breakfast. After breakfast, she wanted to see A Yao who was studying, and A Yuan who was reading poetry. After a while, he decided to bring A Cong and A Ling over to play.

Hey, twins are so fun—every time Sydney sees the two of them, that's the first thing she reacts to.

The two children are small and soft. Putting them together, there is no big difference for the time being. We can only judge which is the son and which is the daughter through the clothes.

Now more than six months old, both children can sit up.When she asked someone to bring them over, they were just awake, and the nanny put them directly on the inside of the bed and sat there.

Ah Cong stared at her with big eyes for a while, then suddenly smiled, "Hee..."

"What are you laughing at?" Xueli maintained her prone position, not daring to move too much, and touched Ah Cong's forehead with her fingers, "My mother!"

Ah Cong: "Hee hee!"

A Ling opened her mouth: "Yi...mother!"

"Hey, look at how many sisters..." Before Xue Li could say "good", Ah Ling, who couldn't sit still, tilted to the side and fell on Ah Cong.How could Ah Cong bear her weight?Follow it upside down.

Sydney: "..."

The two children half-stretched their bodies and lay on their sides, looking at her, still in a daze, not knowing what was going on.

Xueli and the two of them stared at each other for a while, but couldn't hold back: "Hahahaha!"

She buried her head in the pillow and laughed, Ah Cong's nose twitched: "Woo..."

Then the siblings cried together!
Now it's all right, Sydney can stand up even if she doesn't have any strength.She has always felt that although there are maids in the palace who take care of the child very meticulously, if the child cries in front of her and is still taken away by the nurse...the child deserves not to kiss the mother in the future!

Xueli rubbed against her, raised half of her body, and hugged Ah Ling who was lying on Ah Cong's body to the pillow. After a while, she finally gritted her teeth and turned herself to lie down.

Then he hugged Ah Ling to the left, and Ah Cong to the right, and in the middle, across her body—don't move anyone, you two should be good!

When the emperor entered the door, he saw her "carrying" a child on each side.The two children were still sleeping staggeringly, the one inside, Ah Cong, was lying on her chest, not knowing whether he was sleeping or quietly dazed, but Ah Ling was clearly awake, and when she saw him coming in, she raised her little hand: "Yi——!"

I just said a few simple words, but these two have been babbling like this most of the time recently.

Xie Zhao walked over to pick up Ah Ling, sat down on the side of the couch, and saw Xue Li staring at him with sinister eyes.

Xie Zhaodui laughed silently, knowing that he had tossed her hard at night, so...so he intentionally got down and came to see her right away!

Xue Li clenched her back molars, let out a cold "hum" in her nose, and then turned her head to look at Ah Cong.

ignore him!Ah Cong is much prettier than him!

"Okay Lizi, let's not be angry." Xie Zhao coaxed her, thought for a while, put Ah Ling on the tight side of the bed, moved Ah Cong over there, and then turned over her.

Xueli immediately turned pale with backache and back pain: "Hey hey...don't!"

"Hey, turn it over, I'll rub it for you." He said and turned her back to lying on her stomach, pressing her back with his hands, "Where does it hurt?"

Sydney sobbed: "It hurts everywhere..."

Last night's poses were too rich, she felt that every inch of her back had been strained, and she woke up this morning in a bad mood.

Xie Zhao snorted, and pressed her down seriously.He has been practicing martial arts for a long time, and his hands are strong enough to press Xue Li very happily.

Chen Jijiang, who was waiting by the door, took a look, and with a wave of his hand, the wet nurses, palace maids and even the people who came with the imperial court all left the room.

Xueli yawned comfortably: "Yesterday I forgot to inform Your Majesty. The Third Princess said that she would send Princess Xianning from her mansion to read with Ayao. I didn't dare to answer directly. How about His Majesty?"

Xie Zhao laughed, and only said: "The age is about the same as A Yao Jinshu."

Sydney waited, did you have another sentence?

She turned to look at him: "Your Majesty thinks it's inappropriate?"

"That's not true. They are all clan girls, and their identities are appropriate." Xie Zhaoyuan put a little more force on her waist, and seeing her bared her teeth, she hurriedly slowed down, and continued, "The third princess will I took the initiative to mention this because I wanted to have a relationship with you. This is because I am sure and tacitly agree that you will be the queen in the future. There will be many similar things in the future. It is a good thing, and you can make up your own mind."

What Xie Zhao meant was that since they are all A Yao’s cousins ​​anyway, it doesn’t matter if she finds someone to come in and read with her. It’s important for her to win the hearts of the sisters-in-law together at the moment, lest something go wrong and let him decide, It would be wrong to push the benefits of being popular with him.

Xueli thought for a while and said, "I met Princess Xianning yesterday. The little girl looks pretty good, so let her in."

Anyway, I can live well.After it was promoted from "Six Frame Courtyard" to "Nine Frame Courtyard", the North Courtyard all belonged to Ayao Ayuan, and it was still spacious after adding a brocade book, and it would be no problem to add a Xianning Princess.

Outside the palace, the threshold of the Five Princes' Mansion was almost broken.

He probably guessed what was going on, and avoided for a few days, and finally had to open the door to invite people in.

As soon as the few people were seated, the Sixth Princess spoke first: "Sister-in-law, did you see it, or is our third sister-in-law the fastest? We are still thinking about the filial piety here, so we dare not make too much of a move. She is so good. Called 'Sister-in-law of the Emperor', and then sent the princess of the mansion in to accompany Di Ji, we are too slow after all."

The second princess always spoke straightforwardly, and sneered: "It's not that we are slow, it's that the third child is not authentic."

Several people were silent for a while.

There is also unavoidable distance between brothers.Let’s take these highnesses in the imperial city as an example. It’s one thing to respect the eldest brother, the current sage, but it’s another thing to have a different level in private.Among them, the two, three, four and three princes are relatively close, the fifth king is closer to the seven kings, and the rest are friends with each other.

As soon as this was discussed, the second princess became angry.Previously, because I was not sure whether to post the matter of the Ruan family now, the three His Royal Highnesses had discussed it-this matter cannot be resolved without discussion. Although it was not a big problem before without a queen, but in the future when there is a queen, at least I will do it. A married woman has influence, and it is always a good thing to get to know her well in advance—but that time, His Royal Highness made a decision and said: "I think it's too urgent to discuss this now, and we have to wait until the filial piety period passes. Your Majesty even copied the scriptures for the Empress Dowager, and the brothers know who the Empress is in private, isn't this the same as saying that Your Majesty is thinking about things that should not be thought about during the filial piety period?"

Just like that, all the prefectures became quiet.The oldest of the three of them didn't move, and the bottom also stopped.

Oh, and not long after that, you called out "Sister-in-law Huang" one by one, and even sent your daughter in directly. Are you cheating brothers to grab opportunities without turning corners?
The second princess got a headache after thinking about it, and pressed her temples: "If you want me to say, let's hurry up. We can almost prepare the gifts and interviews. We can't let the third one kiss. Our family For the matter of Amin's conferment, I guess I will have to rely on the Empress Empress in the future."

When I said this, everyone was a little bit embarrassed.

The "Amin" that the second concubine said was actually the eldest daughter born to Xie Yun by the concubine of the mansion. At that time, Xie Yun asked for the seal at an inappropriate time. He didn't care, so he was named the last county head.At that time, all the houses thought that the second princess had to laugh behind her back.After all, that concubine is notoriously domineering, and it is reasonable for the Second Princess to want to see her daughter being suppressed.

But I didn’t expect it. After more than eight years, the second princess is really good to Xie Min. It is said that Xie Min turned against his mother in order to help the second princess—whether it is the result of the second princess’s good intentions or The wrist is too good to prove it, in short, it can be seen that she did not wear small shoes for Xie Min.

After a while of sighing, everyone also knew what the second princess meant by mentioning Xie Min.

——In the past, the titles of women from the clan and foreign wives were determined by His Majesty, and he would hand it over to the Ministry of Rites when His Majesty was free.In the future, if the empress is named, whoever can speak on this matter will add another person.

The impact of this is not small in theory, not only the title, but also the gift of marriage, after the gift of marriage, it can more or less involve the title of the husband's family.Think about disrespect again, in case the national strength is not as good as it is now in a few years, when you have to send the princess to Fanbang to get married or to appease the courtiers... most of them will be selected from the clan daughters, and when the time comes and the queen Get closer, maybe this doom will not reach your own daughter.

In this way, there are more quiet times in the main hall and less movement time. The princesses sit upright and think about each other, and the number of ways they think is similar.

After a while, the Sixth Princess said: "We usually don't move around with Mrs. Ruan, it would be too abrupt to rush up suddenly. How about... let Yi Liangyuan from Seventh Brother's house help me with the conversation first?"

"Isn't it rude to let Yi Liangyuan go? Do you walk around with Yi Liangyuan on weekdays?" The Fifth Princess He Shixuan glanced at her, displeased with the way she usually looks down on Yi Shi as a concubine, but now she has something to ask for help .

The sixth concubine looked at the fifth sister-in-law and dared not say a word.After a while, the fifth princess breathed a sigh of relief: "How about this, when I send the brocade book in a few days later, I will mention it casually, saying that I want their cousins ​​to get together more, and I want to pick a day to invite children from various prefectures to come and play together." , if she is free, please come along."

It is still appropriate to borrow the name of the child, and everyone nodded after thinking about it.As long as Mrs. Ruan is here, it doesn't matter whether they come in person or not, anyway, an opening is opened, and the reason for asking to see you later is ready.

A few days later, in Jiuge Courtyard, Xueli was frying rice cakes while thinking about what the fifth princess said, and always felt that she was going to a Hongmen banquet.

I don't know where this feeling came from, anyway, it just made her feel weird-"the visitor is not kind" shouldn't be counted, but there must be something else!

"Mother, it's muddy!" A Yao tugged at her sleeve to remind, Xue Li was a little startled, and then noticed that the three round rice cakes in the pot were all blackened in the oil.

"Wait, mother do it again." As she said that, she took out the three fried ones and put them aside, then threw new ones into the pot.

This thing is easy to make and delicious. Throw the finished yellow rice noodle rice cake into the oil pan and fry until golden.She likes to make bean paste stuffing. After frying, the outermost layer tastes crispy, the innermost one is soft and warm, and the innermost bean paste is smooth and sweet.

However, if you eat too much fried rice cakes, you will feel uncomfortable in your stomach, so at first she secretly made them to satisfy her cravings, and then ate them directly in the kitchen.Later...

Later, that little villain A Yuan watched her and saw that she had cooked for herself and refused to give them.He cried and went to complain to his sister, and A Yao took A Yuan's hand and angrily asked her for rice cakes.

When she was caught, she still had some red bean paste on her lips, she couldn't admit it!

After the three rice cakes were fried, they were placed on three plates, one each for A Yao, A Yuan, and Jin Shu. Sydney told them, "Eat slowly, don't lie down." Then she turned around and asked someone to wash the pot. He changed the pot and poured in new oil, and said with a smile, "I'll fry some meatballs for Yuxiang, and you'll feed it later when you're done eating."

The three children applauded.Sydney asked the kitchen staff to cut up the minced meat, and made two each of pork balls, beef balls, fish balls, and chicken balls. The smell made her hungry.

Then I heard Ah Yuan say: "I want to eat meatballs too!"

Well, let’s add winter melon meatball soup at night, and add Jiaoliu meatballs.

After finishing all this work, Xue Li returned to her room and began to think about going to the Fifth Prince's Mansion.

She nodded and agreed to this matter at the time, and now she can't say she regrets it, but she just doesn't understand why she made such a suggestion suddenly - I haven't heard the fifth princess say that cousins ​​should get together more!

Moreover, "children from all prefectures" will go.

She clicked her lips, is this purely for flirting, or is there some other hidden secret?

That's all, I answered everything anyway, so what's there to be afraid of?When the time comes, something will really happen, that is, soldiers will come to cover up the water and earth!
As soon as this sentence passed through her mind, Xue Li blushed while holding her forehead: I am really brave!
Why not just show off your courage and let the princesses see it?
She called Lai Fugui: "The following arrangements are my ideas, but don't just spread the word, ask Mr. Chen carefully to see if it is suitable."

Fugui nodded: "My lady, tell me."

Xueli weighed it and said: "In a few days, I will take Ah Yao to the Five Princes' Mansion to play. Please send a message to Master Chen to order the imperial guards to prepare the guard of honor for the emperor. Please arrange the escort. The places that should be cleaned along the way should be cleaned at least in advance. Clean the streets for an hour, and if there are any intruders, they will be charged first."

There's nothing inappropriate about it.Fugui listened with peace of mind, Xue Li paused, and then said: "According to what the fifth princess said, all the daughters of the mansions will go when they reach the age of walking. I thought, it's not interesting to just let them play in the mansion, it's better to take them with you." Go outside and climb the mountain."

"Mountain climbing?" Fugui was startled.

Sydney nodded: "Jinshan on the outskirts of the city is the closest, and the mountain will be closed three days in advance. Let the hotel at the foot of the mountain prepare tea and snacks, waiting to welcome you."

This movement can be big enough.

Fugui knew that Xueli was trying to stand up recently, so he didn't dare to say anything, and went directly to Chen Jijiang.Chen Jijiang also felt in his heart, would this movement be too loud?But he weighed his weight and thought about recent events, so he didn't dare to deny it without authorization, so he went into the palace and returned to the emperor.

Xie Zhao was reading the scriptures that the seventh brother had just sent in, and did not delay listening to Chen Jijiang's report.Chen Jijiang spoke sentence by sentence. After waiting for a while, he didn't hear His Majesty's meaning, so he felt a little drummed in his heart, and he hesitated and added another sentence: "Your Majesty...?"

The emperor put together the scriptures: "No."
