palace wall

The next day, Qitang slept until noon before waking up. The newlywed mother was sore all over, but her heart was overflowing with sweetness.Turning her head to see the person beside the couch, she was thinking to herself, Qingming knocked on the door, and when she answered, she came in and served hot water.

Seeing her huddled in the brocade quilt, Qing Ming teased with a smile, "Ge Ge is sorry, but the prince has been waiting for you for a long time. The dining room has been prepared earlier, if you huddle up again, the servant will have to wait for you to get up." .”

She was so ashamed that she covered her face with the quilt, and said in a muffled voice, "Qingming, you bully me like this, I want to deduct your monthly payment!"

Qingming retorted and helped her test the water temperature, "Your servant is not afraid, the consort in the house is the best person, supporting our hard-working servants, not afraid of being arrogant and oppressive."

After washing her hair, Qingming combed her hair twice, put down the vermilion mahogany comb, looked at Qitang in the mirror who was becoming more and more vivid and charming, and smiled, "From now on, Gege will be a woman through and through, slaves are so lucky , watching Gege walk all the way, no matter how hard he worked, he has achieved a positive result."

She patted Qingming's hand and said with a consoling smile, "Qingming, you still want to see me give birth to a son, and my son will give birth to a grandson. The road ahead is still long, let's walk slowly together."

Qingming responded, and helped her to have breakfast, but she still hadn't seen her forehead.After breakfast, a maidservant came to report that the concubine invited the princess to the garden.

Accompanied by Qingming, Qitang stepped into the garden of her mansion for the first time, and there was a sea of ​​tender red or snow-white crabapple flowers in front of her eyes, which made Qitang stunned in place.

Qingming glanced at her, covered her lips and smiled, "My son-in-law planted this flower himself last year, Gege, go in and have a look, my son-in-law is waiting for you."

She nodded, and walked into the depths of the sea of ​​flowers without recovering from the bunches of flower branches. He was wearing a white gown, and stood under the tree with his back to her, looking at the petals on the tree. Zhenlong set up a game.Hearing her footsteps, he turned to look at her, with a smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to her.

Qitang stepped forward, put her hand on his palm lightly, and let him hold it tightly.

He helped her to sit at the table, "Since I heard your name for the first time, I have thought about it. One day, I will give you this gift."

Qitang seemed to be in a dream, touching the warm black and white chess pieces with his fingertips, his heart was full of emotion beyond words, thousands of words merged into eyes, and he smiled blindly, "Husband and I played a game, Whoever eats it, whoever says something that the other party doesn't know about."

He nodded in agreement, flicked up his clothes and sat still, stretched out his hand to ask her to take the black stones first, Qitang rolled up his sleeves with one hand, and started to fight with him with the other hand.

He intentionally let Qitang be eaten first, and looked at her with a smile in his eyes, "I met the lady before the banquet that night."

Qitang suddenly opened his eyes wide, with an expression of disbelief, "How could it be...?"

"At the banquet that night, do you still remember what I said when I gave you the plate of candied fruit?"

She lowered her head for a while to think, then suddenly raised her head to look at him, "You said...you want to thank me for making it so easy for you to meet me face-to-face?"

He smiled and nodded, "It's not just the lady who can't eat this marriage that I have never met before, but I also feel like you said, not upset. So I didn't go to the palace for the banquet that night, and walked around As soon as I walked away, I heard a little girl in front of the rockery acting coquettishly with others. After listening carefully, she took off her shoes and socks, and it was even more difficult for me to meet her."

Qitang parted her red lips slightly, regained her composure and muttered for a while, "Then you...haven't you heard all the words I said?"

He thought it was funny and nodded, Qitang blushed unbearably, and asked him annoyed and anxiously, "What else did I say back then? I can't even remember..."

He shook her hand and laughed, "You eat me again, and I'll tell you."

Qitang was dumbfounded, but he couldn't get any more advantage from him on the chessboard, and he sighed after he ate the chess pieces, "Is there anything you don't know about me...I told you everything...I have to say If so, at that time, when you ignored me, I felt so sad, I felt as if I couldn't hold on anymore, and I stood stupidly under the palace wall for two days."

Afraid that she would be sad, he hastily asked her to marry him a few times, and told her what happened that night as she wished, "At that time, you said, I am a hot-blooded man, and I am going to be a proton in Beijing. Maybe I will hate you and blame you, and I will not like you."

Qitang thought about it, covered her lips with her hands in shame, and asked him cautiously, "Then... what were you thinking at that time?"

He looked at her and smiled, and glanced at the chessboard. Qitang had no choice but to accept his fate, but he lost a few more pieces. He was so annoyed that he wanted to lift the chessboard, and said aggrievedly, "I really have nothing to tell you... ...I acted like a transparent person in front of you, and I didn't hide anything from you."

He covered his lips and coughed, and looked at her with a sly smile for a while, "It's okay if you don't say anything, I'll ask my wife, and she should answer truthfully."

Qitang was a little happy when he heard it, and nodded, and saw him standing up and walking to her side, leaning towards her ear with one hand on the chessboard, and said softly, "Young lady... was you happy last night?"

Her eyes widened suddenly, her face was red enough to bleed, she lowered her eyes in embarrassment for a while, and stammered out a few words from between her lips and teeth, "Happy... happy..."

He smiled lowly and put his arms around her shoulders. Qitang looked up at him, saw his serious expression, and listened to him say, "At that time, I felt that God treated me well. This is how my future wife understood me." People. She thinks for me, thinks for me, worries for me, and fears for me. Qitang, you are not only my lover, but also my confidant in this life. You don't have to be obedient or cautious, you are my wife , I will accept you as per the order if you are perverse and unruly, and I will let you pamper you if you are self-willed."

She was moved when she heard it, but she didn't know what to say. She just heard him continue to laugh, "Princess, before I met you, I didn't have any sweetheart, so in this life, I can only hope for the matter of being angry at the crown and becoming a beauty." It's on you."

Her heart was so soft that she raised her head and bent her eyebrows, and asked him with a gentle smile, "Did you start to like me since then, big brother?"

He didn't answer, leaned over and kissed her forehead piously, and said in a low voice, "Lady, there is one more thing that you may not know."

She wrapped her arms around his waist and asked softly, "Huh?"

Begonias were blooming on the temples of the two of them. In the intoxicating fragrance, she heard him say, "Qitang, I love you so much."
