foster husband

Chapter 6

Concubine Xian bowed to Emperor Yuan Hui, and then stood beside him panting delicately.

"Your Majesty, the concubine's small kitchen made some Jingzhou snacks today, and the concubine specially left some for the emperor."

When Emperor Yuanhui was still Lin Qingluan, he feigned death and left, and the place where he settled was Wuling in Jingzhou.

Hearing the soft words of the people beside him, Emperor Yuan Hui smiled slightly and said, "Your concubine Xian." However, his eyes were always looking straight ahead, and there was no focal length.

Concubine Xian gritted her teeth secretly, and said softly: "The concubine knows that the emperor is remembering my sister. Presumably my sister, Youzhi Quanxia, ​​will also be grateful for the emperor's infatuation. It's just the emperor, a dead person cannot be resurrected. The concubine dares to implore the emperor to Wanmin take care of the dragon body."

Emperor Yuanhui chuckled: "Sister? Concubine Xian, who is your sister?"

"Could it be that in the emperor's heart, a concubine is not worthy of calling her elder sister?" Concubine Xian's voice trembled, as if crying.

Emperor Yuanhui turned his head, his calm eyes swept across her beautiful face full of unwillingness, and he still chuckled softly: "Concubine Xian, you are my concubine Xian. But she is the princess of the country."

What a princess, and a promiscuous princess!But Concubine Xian couldn't say these words, she bit her lips and wanted to cry, just now she opened her mouth, Emperor Yuan Hui seemed to have known her intentions, and said in a very soft voice: "Speaking. It's late at night, Concubine Xian, please kneel down!" As if afraid of waking someone up.

Concubine Xian's face turned white with anger, but she could only bow softly, "The concubine resigns."

She angrily went down the palace gate, Lu Zhuang came forward holding a thin crimson cloak, but she brushed it away.

Lu Zhuang knew that she was in a bad mood at the moment, so she cautiously persuaded her: "Your Majesty, don't be upset, the Emperor is only temporarily fascinated, and sooner or later you will understand your empress's sincerity."

"Don't say such words to coax me, what the emperor thinks in my heart can't be known without you! He has no heart for me at all."

Lu Zhuang cautiously replied "Yes", but then immediately explained: "Your Majesty is just saying something angry, if the Emperor has no heart for your Majesty, how can you let your Majesty take charge of the harem."

"The harem? Is there anyone else in his harem besides me?"

"Doesn't this just show that the emperor loves you."

"Fart, he's using me as a housekeeper."

Lu Zhuang's mind was spinning quickly, remembering the master's order, and whispered in Xianfei's ear: "Your Majesty, why don't you recruit some beauties for the emperor. If this can win back the emperor's heart, the queen's position will be greatly reduced." Why worry..."

Concubine Xian had a fit, the resentment in her heart calmed down a bit, she thought about it for a while, and felt that what Lu Zhuang said was reasonable, but it was better not to ask her to give this beauty.Right now, there is someone more suitable than her.

After thinking for a while, Concubine Xian looked at Luzhuang carefully, seeing that her head was lowered from beginning to end, and her appearance was ordinary, which was reassuring, so she said in a low voice: "You are a good..."

After Concubine Xian left, Emperor Yuan Hui stood still for a long time, and he heard the watchman knocking on the second watch from a distance, so he called out: "Liu Zheng."

"Consort." A man in black came out of the solemn night. He had been hiding here all this time, but when Concubine Xian came, she didn't notice him at all.

Liu Zheng summoned Yuanhui Emperor's consort because he came from the princess mansion and was originally the eldest princess's personal servant.When Emperor Yuanhui came to Luoyang City, he was the one who opened the gate of Luoyang City according to the princess' command.

And this "son-in-law" was obviously approved by Emperor Yuan Hui.

"I have no heirs with the eldest princess."

After a moment's pause, Emperor Yuanhui said again: "Today I looked at Changzhi's daughter, and the charm was somewhat similar to that of the princess when she was young, so I decided to recognize her as a righteous daughter."

Liu Zheng understood the meaning of these two sentences, it was for the eldest princess to recognize the daughter of the Pei family as a foster daughter.

He snorted coldly: "Don't you know the concubine's holiday with the Pei family! Yes, the Pei family also dared to do such a dirty thing because of the idea of ​​being a son-in-law."

Emperor Yuanhui's heart tightened after being stabbed, and after a while he murmured to himself, "I really look alike, you should go and have a look first, and then talk about it after you have seen it."

Liu Zheng didn't refute anymore, took a step back, and hid in the darkness again.

Dawn came quickly, and it was only one day away from Pei Jinyu's birthday.Fang, who hadn't prepared anything, kept her feet on the ground in a hurry, and she couldn't buy any of the snacks, dishes, and fruits for the banquet.She also wanted to be bedridden like the old lady, but Pei Tianheng said that if she dared to get sick, she would hand over the power of housekeeping to Mrs. Chu.

How miserable her life is!When she had time to explain things to the housekeeper and wife in the mansion, Fang also took time to tear up a few handkerchiefs.

Their family's embroiderer is also suffering, and she has to work hard to embroider a few more handkerchiefs, so that Fang can vent her anger.

It has to be said that apart from being a little bit narrow-minded and mighty, Fang's work is still extremely reliable, and he has a vigorous and resolute style.Although there was only one day, Pei Jinyu's Sunday banquet was held hastily.

The person in charge of receiving the male guests selected two brothers, Pei Tianheng and Pei Tianshu.The Fang family and the Chu family are naturally responsible for receiving the female guests.

Accompanying the young masters of each family to socialize are Fang's two legitimate sons, ten-year-old Pei Zhi and eight-year-old Pei You.It's just that it's a bit troublesome to choose the candidates to receive the young ladies from various families. The only prostitute of the Pei family, Pei Jinyu, is still a baby, and in the end, the burden falls on Pei Tianheng's eight-year-old concubine, Pei Xue.

It was only early in the morning, and the Pei family opened the door to welcome guests from all over the place, but it was very orderly.

The identities of the guests of the Pei family are extremely complicated, and the reason lies in which side they belong to.

For example, the royalists who have always been friends with Pei Tianshu, and the Qingliu who have always been friends with Chu's father, and because the emperor personally made Pei Jinyu a Hanshou lord, even the clan respectfully came here.

Take a closer look, who exactly came to the Pei family's daughter's Sunday banquet?
Well, just like when the emperor goes to court, there are many who should come and who should not come.

And as the master of the Pei family, they can relax in a moderate manner, neither humble nor overbearing, and greet anyone who comes with a smile.

Then someone secretly angered them in their hearts.

--Pooh!Wall grass.It is the local turtles who think so.

--Pooh!Smart words.It is Qingliu who think so.

The idea of ​​the clan is very simple, regardless of whether Pei Tianshu is a local turtle or a Qingliu, he is always a person in the eyes of the emperor.Even if he didn't become an official, he was always a man of grace.

A Sunday banquet was also full of romantic affairs. Pei Tianshu laughed because of his concentration, and Pei Tianheng laughed because he was innocent and cute, and he thought that his family's face was big enough. On behalf of the king.

Cheng Wang's son is the emperor's nephew, and his father is Cheng Wang, the only remaining younger brother of the emperor.The others either died in battle or were implicated, and the only one was extraordinarily honorable.

Therefore, it is a great honor for King Cheng not to come, but to send his son over.Although Shizi is only ten years old.

As for the acting king, it can be completely ignored.

Not only is he young, but he is also mentally ill.Well, why he became king at such a young age is because his father died in battle.

Compared to Lin Qianzhi, who was still the eldest son at the age of ten, and Lin Chi, who was crowned king at the age of five, I don't know whether it was luck or misfortune.

Although Lin Qianzhi and Lin Chisel were not very big people, the whole Pei family did not dare to treat them badly.

The two villains were invited to the table, and the highlight of the Sunday banquet finally began.

Pei Jinyu, who was dressed as a New Year's picture doll, made a grand debut.

She didn't want to come out at first, but she didn't have a substitute, so she couldn't do without catching Zhou!
Of course, this is nonsense, because no one asked her whether she would like to be watched by the crowd from the beginning to the end, as if she was a monkey show.

The necessary items for grasping Zhou, such as rouge, needle and thread, pen and ink, etc., have already been placed on the table one by one. Pei Tianshu put Pei Jinyu on one end of the table, pushed her little butt, and signaled her to crawl forward.

Pei Jinyu turned her head and glanced at Pei Tianshu, with endless sorrow in her eyes.

Climbing, she would never do something so out of place anyway, she simply sat cross-legged on the desk, and pointed to a gray-blue Yaoqin not far away.

Pei Tianshu didn't understand what he meant, and the Chu family on the side was a little anxious, "Jinyu, whatever you want, go and get it!"

Pei Jinyu ignored it, and pointed at Yaoqin again, afraid that Pei Tianshu would not understand, this time she moved her lips: "Father, take it." Then she patted herself.

Pei Tianshu smiled, "This kid can manipulate people." How lazy he must be!
In the end, he did as she wanted and put Yaoqin in front of her.

Someone next to him sang auspicious words about Weng Zhu's proficiency in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

No one dared to say anything bad, unless he wanted to die.You must know that Pei Tianshu is not a weak scholar. According to legend, when he was the emperor's military adviser, he killed three birds with one stone and severely damaged the anti-insurgency army sent by the former emperor. Wearing candied haws.

Do you want to be dressed as candied haws?
If you don't want to, please speak carefully and carefully.In addition to the soil point, the wood beetle has no serious shortcomings, the only one is that the ground beetle turns their faces slightly bloody.

Pei Jinyu plucked the Yaoqin with his little hand, and it sounded pretty good. He nodded, and pointed again with his little hand, this time referring to the seal.

After Pei Tianshu handed it over, the man sang that the Lord is a golden branch and jade leaf, etc. Anyway, the central idea is that she is honorable, she should get a seal, and she can continue to be honorable.

Pei Jinyu took the seal in his hand and studied it for a long time, but couldn't figure out what material it was, so he threw it on the Yaoqin without interest, and ordered a plate of hibiscus cake not far away.

Catch Zhou to catch food, doesn't it mean gluttony.

The Chu family kept giving Pei Tianshu flying eyes, signaling that he was not allowed to take that.

Pei Tianshu didn't care about these, and brought the whole plate of hibiscus cakes in front of Pei Jinyu.Unexpectedly, Pei Jinyu shook his hand.

"Don't want this?" Pei Tianshu asked puzzled.

Pei Jinyu shook his hand again, pointing at the cake, and then at him.

Pei Tianshu suddenly realized, and said happily: "Father does things for you, you reward him!"

Pei Jinyu nodded.

All the guests laughed.

So far, Pei Jinyu's task has been successfully completed, and she is carried to the inner courtyard by Jiarou.
