The Rich And Honorable Chang An

Chapter 12

Although the royal concubine's acceptance of the side concubine is not like the time of marrying the main concubine, and the master of the palace sent people to congratulate him, but Xiao Qingyan's two side concubines were from good backgrounds, and they were also married by imperial decree, so the day when the two newcomers entered the house , the palace is equally lively.

Xu Chang'an started preparations early in the morning. Although he looked calm, he was actually nervous. He didn't know how the two newcomers were and whether they would get along well. He couldn't imagine that he would be like the normal Like a woman in the back house, she tried her best to win the favor of a man, and lived a life of intrigue ever since.

On the day of his marriage, after covering the heavens and the earth with his head covered, he was taken to the wedding room. Xu Chang'an didn't know what kind of guests came outside. On this day, he came out to greet the guests as another master of the palace. It turns out that the wedding in the palace is really lively.

He generously greeted all the female family members who came, Xu Changan almost let Nanny Yang follow him every step of the way, only with Nanny Yang around can he be calm, and can't be scared away by all these women getting dizzy.

"I have never seen a princess in the past, and I never thought that the princess was born so handsome. I heard that the daughter of the Shangshu family is famous for her beauty, but this is one of the most beautiful women in the capital. Now that I see the princess, I think the daughter of the Shangshu cannot be more beautiful. That's it." A... woman about sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed like a man, looked at Xu Chang'an without any hesitation, made this remark and turned away with a smile. Chang'an was confused by this official lady who acted boldly and spoke even more wildly. She looked at Nanny Yang, and Nanny Yang was also shocked.

Which family's young lady is this? How could she be so bold that she would just wear men's clothing as a guest at the palace, and even comment on the princess's appearance, as if... admiring her?

Xu Changan was shocked, and the people around him were naturally the same, but just now it seemed that no one knew the woman, and everyone talked about it and passed away. Only Xu Changan couldn't recover for a long time, and he was very envious of that woman.

A woman behaves like this. When she arrives at Tianhuang Guihua's home, she still does not change her true nature. Compared with her parents, she must be very fond of her, and she has never been wronged. Only then can she understand the normality of this world, but herself...but Also chic.

In the homes of princes and grandchildren, there is no such thing as a bridal chamber. After the wedding banquet, everyone returns home, and it is dark and it is time for the couple's bridal chamber.

Today, Xu Chang'an was exhausted all day, and after everyone dispersed, he went back to his room and asked Nanny Yang to prepare a table of dishes and, rare, wine.

"Master, don't be sad, you are..."

"Chunyu! We should change our words in the future. You don't want to call this title, and you can't call it young master. From now on, we will call you young master and princess. Young master is the prince's official wife, the virtuous concubine appointed by the emperor, and the head of the palace. We are a natal family and we can't mess with the rules." The young master and the prince didn't consummate their marriage, and Madam Yang knew in her heart that now that the two side concubines came in, the young master's situation would only be more difficult!The only thing they can hold on to now is the title of wife. As long as they have this, the young master can live a good life in the palace.

Xu Chang'an also understands Nanny Yang's thoughts, this title is indeed a bit awkward, but he has to learn to get used to it.He was not loved by his father since he was a child. Although his mother is the head of the house and he is the eldest son and grandson, their mother and son's life is worse than that of a concubine.Xu Chang'an knew in his heart that without Xiao Qingyan's respect, his concubine was just a display with a false name, but he didn't want Nanny Yang to worry, so he simply didn't care about anything, let's take a step and see.

Then changing the excuse, Xu Changan asked Chunyu and Dongxue by the way, about the idea of ​​being Xiao Qingyan's concubine, if the two girls had ideas, he would not stop them, he would not blame them if everyone had their own ambitions.

"Master, I don't want to! I just want to serve you. In the future, you can just find an honest and reliable servant in the palace and marry me. After we get married, I will continue to serve you." After all, Chun Yu is a specially trained girl. , How can I not know the rules of this big family, they are the young master's companion girls, in fact, they are also the prince's women, but she really doesn't want to.It's fine if the prince treats the young master well, but now that the prince treats the young master like this, how can she still have such thoughts!

"It's up to you." Xu Changan knew that Chun Yu's words were what she thought in her heart. As for Dong Xue, she didn't talk much at first, but just seeing her frowning, she knew that she probably didn't like it, so she didn't ask any more questions. Let them all go down to eat without waiting, the palace has a lot of delicious food today.

"Mommy, you should go to rest too. You've been tired all day. You won't have to come over for a while. There are little maids in the yard now. I will tell them to do the little things in the room."

"Master, you should go to bed early. The side concubine will come over to serve tea tomorrow morning, so you have to be energetic." Nanny Yang knew that although his young master looked easy-going, he was actually more stubborn than anyone else, and no one could persuade him to make a decision. , can only leave a few words before leaving.

After everyone left, Xu Chang'an suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. He poured warm wine into his stomach glass after glass, and when the wine bottle couldn't pour out any more, he ordered the little maid to prepare bath water for him.

After bathing and sleeping on the bed, Xu Changan got up again. He walked to the unused dressing table, found a piece of jade pendant from a small wooden box, and stared at it for a long time after getting it in his hand.Taking a closer look, it was a piece of high-quality suet jade. After Xu Changan pinned it to his waist, he lay back on the bed again, closed his eyes and fell asleep slowly through the alcohol.

There was a happy event in the palace today, and the lights were still brightly lit at night. The two newlyweds were still waiting for their husbands in the room. They would go the next day, but Xiao Qingyan was still staying in his study at this time.

"My lord, which side concubine are you going to, you decide quickly, it's getting late." Zhu Cong is the only son of Steward Zhu, now six out of ten, and has been with Xiao Qingyan for three years, but he still Sometimes I don't understand what my master is thinking.

Although the natal families of the two side concubines supported the second prince and the third prince respectively, but now that they have become the master's people, the family can only be loyal to the master. This is a good opportunity to win over the two adults, but The master doesn't look happy at all.

"Has the princess rested yet?"

"Ah?" When is this, why did the prince ask about the princess again?Zhu Cong knew that on the day of the wedding between the prince and the concubine, although the prince went to the new house, he and the concubine did not consummate the marriage. These days, the relationship between the prince and the concubine has not been seen to ease. Why did the prince mention the concubine at this time?

"You go back and rest, let the little eunuch outside the house light the lamp and go back to the room."

"Master, which lady are you going to?" But the master's words don't sound like...

"I'm not going anywhere, I'm going back to my own room."

"..." Zhu Cong was puzzled in his heart, but he didn't expect his master to explain it directly, but this... this is a bit... um! "Master is wise! Since it's hard to choose which side concubine to go to, let's go back to the princess!" Zhu Cong thought he had guessed what the master was thinking, so he hurriedly called the little eunuch to send the master back to the room to rest, and he went back too. I went to sleep in my own room.

When Xiao Qingyan arrived at the main courtyard, even the little girl who kept vigil for Xu Changan fell asleep. Since there were more than a dozen little girls in the courtyard, the side room outside the bedroom in the main courtyard has always been guarded by a girl, so Xu Changan naturally fell asleep too. Arrived at the main room in the inner room.

The girl who is watching the night in the ear room cannot completely fall asleep. Xiao Qingyan is surrounded by people. Naturally, there are movements. After the little girl woke up, she was ready to wake up the princess after seeing Xiao Qingyan, but she didn't know that she didn't wake up after calling out a lot. .

"My lord, my princess..."

"Go down first, you don't need to serve here."

"Yes." The little girl wanted to explain to Xiao Qingyan that the concubine had just drank wine and fell into a deep sleep because she was probably drunk, but she was interrupted by Xiao Qingyan before she finished speaking, not daring to disobey the prince's words, The little girl quickly backed away.

Approaching the bed, Xiao Qingyan asked about the strong smell of alcohol, and he also said that he, the princess, is always calm and wears a mask, but she sometimes loses her composure.

Lie down on the bed with all his defenses off, kicked off the shoes on his feet, Xiao Qingyan closed his eyes, as if preparing to fall asleep.He didn't bother to pretend since he was a child. At that time, no matter what he was, his father would spoil him. Now he doesn't need to pretend anymore. Anyway, no matter what he is, no one will care.

Xu Changan never thought that one day, when he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was not a girl or a nanny, but His Royal Highness Xiao Qingyan, and he almost fell asleep hugging him.

Xiao Qingyan was lying on his back with his hands slightly open, while he was lying on his side, with half of his face leaning on his arm, one hand was even placed on his waist, and the hand he was resting on was just touching his own. Underbelly...

Gently raising his arms, Xu Changjian turned over slowly as if nothing had happened, and after ensuring that Xiao Qingyan beside him would never see his expression, he stretched out his hand and pinched his ears and face vigorously, he wanted to teach himself a lesson !Don't sleep so deeply in the future!Even if there is... it must be guaranteed to wake up before Xiao Qingyan!

"Come on."

"..." As soon as Xiao Qingyan comforted himself that Xiao Qingyan hadn't woken up yet, Xiao Qingyan's voice sounded in his ears, Xu Changan immediately closed his eyes tightly, feeling uncomfortable in his heart, as if his heart jumped into his throat, but suddenly thought The stupid thing I did last night, I quickly reached out and grabbed the thing around my waist.

Today the side concubine was coming to offer tea to the princess, and the maids outside were already ready to wait for the princess to wake up. As soon as Xiao Qingyan made a sound, the door opened, and the maids came in with toiletries.

I thought the concubine of the palace was not favored, but no one thought that the prince would sleep with the concubine on the day when he accepted the side concubine. While the girls were surprised, they were even more dedicated. The concubine has both the power of the palace and With the favor of the prince, although he can't give birth to an heir for the prince, heirs can be adopted, and he has to be careful in serving the princess in the future.

Xiao Qingyan didn't bother with the person next to her who was pretending to be sleeping. After she got up, dressed and washed, she only left one sentence, "I have something to do in court today, so I have to come back later and left."

As soon as Xiao Qingyan left, Xu Changan dared to stand up, but he didn't know why his cheeks were slightly red.This expression made Xu Changan feel ashamed and flustered, he could only pretend that nothing happened, but in the eyes of the girl, it turned out to be a good thing for the prince and concubine yesterday.

"My servant congratulates the princess."

"Servant congratulations to the princess." A girl said, and the girls naturally followed suit.

Xu Chang'an didn't know what they were congratulating him on, and he didn't want to ask. He was always the one who was embarrassed to ask about this kind of thing. Anyway, since they congratulated him, it must be a good thing, and it didn't matter what it was.

Xu Chang'an's acquiescence made the little girls who just came to the princess's yard happier. They thought they were going to serve a princess who fell out of favor and live a hard life, but they never thought that the relationship between the princess and the prince would be good!

The girls relied on their own brains to let their princess sit in the position of the favorite concubine of the palace. While everyone was happy, they didn't care about the two side concubines who were about to come to offer tea to pay their respects. , no matter what, on the first day they must know who the head of the palace is.
