Ajiu

Chapter 222
After Empress Zhang came out of Qianqing Palace, she suppressed her excitement, thought carefully for a long time, and made up her mind.Although His Majesty has no objection to this matter, it depends on Xiao Shi's intentions, but it is inappropriate to ask Xiao Shi directly.Xiao Ten was under the control of Ajiu, she was the only one by her side, how could she suddenly change her mind?What's more, he just got a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, and he and Ajiu are in love with each other right now.If you ask him directly, if you can't guarantee it, he will say something to evade it, which will make it difficult for you as a mother.You can't ask Xiao Shi directly about this matter, you should call Ah Jiu over, shock her, and order her to handle it herself.As a result, Xiao Shi had nothing to say.

"Whoever is a concubine or a queen has no experience in choosing a woman for her husband?" Queen Zhang's eyes became cold.

In her life, Empress Zhang, whether she was a princess or a queen, had personally selected concubines and concubines for her husband more than once, and presented them to his dragon bed.

"Why can't Ajiu do what I can do." Queen Zhang thought for granted.

With the same identity, why is Ajiu so blessed to occupy the crown prince alone and become the only one in the East Palace.

Empress Zhang went to the East Palace in person in the name of visiting Ah Shen and Ah Xie.

In the inner hall of the East Palace, Ajiu was lying comfortably on the beauty couch, with tender cucumber slices on her face.She is very leisurely at the moment, Ah Shen and Ah Xie are sleeping, the crown prince is in Wenhua Palace, Xiao Zheng is going to class, Xiao Pingping and A Ruo Ayi have gone to kindergarten, so she has time and mood to do beauty treatment.First patted milk on the face, then put cucumbers on it, and lay down on the beauty bed to fall asleep.

"Put off the cucumber slices later, your face will be as delicate as a baby's." Ajiu was complacent.

Even though he already had little Ah Xie, he stole all the limelight from him.However, a mother should love beauty, or she should love beauty, right?

"Your Highness, what song do you want to hear?" The female officer walked over softly, knelt in front of the couch, and asked for instructions in a soft voice.

This is the idea that the crown prince came up with: when the younger junior sister is having a beauty treatment, the band plays leisurely music in the side hall, and the faint sound of the music comes over, wouldn't the younger junior sister be in a happier mood?Ajiu thought it made sense and accepted it.

"Let's be high mountains and flowing water." Ah Jiu had a smile on his lips.

"Yes, Your Highness." The female officer agreed, stood up, and retreated lightly.

After a while, the melodious sound of Guqin came from the side hall.The sound of the piano is beautiful, listen to it quietly, and the feeling of joy arises spontaneously.

Ajiu was listening to Guqin music and doing her beauty treatment. She seemed to be sleeping but not sleeping very comfortably. The female officer hurried in and knelt in front of the couch to report, "Your Highness, the empress is here."

"Is it okay for you to come late for an old man, so let me enjoy it anyway? I am a mother of five sons and one daughter, and I am usually very busy, so it is rare for me to be free." Ajiu complained in her heart when she heard that Queen Zhang had arrived.

Ajiu sat up, and a few cucumber slices fell off her face.She glanced resentfully, "It's such a waste, I didn't have enough time to post it."

The maid came over to wash Ajiu's face, and Ajiu took a look in the mirror and cast critical glances several times.Well, very tender, you can see people without makeup.

Instructing nurses, nanny and others to watch Ah Shen and Ah Xie sleep, Ah Jiu brought many court ladies out to meet Queen Zhang.Empress Zhang has always been "loving" to her in the past two years. When she met her, she smiled kindly, "How are you, Ah Shen and Xie? I haven't seen these two babies for two days. It's weird." Ah Jiu smiled, "It's fine. It's just that I'm very sleepy. I've been sleeping all day long." As he spoke, he invited Queen Zhang into the inner hall.

Empress Zhang went to see Ah Shen and Ah Xie who were sleeping soundly, and said a few words of praise before she came out to sit down in the inner hall, and the palace servants brought tea.Empress Zhang has always liked Longjing, and what the palace people brought up was the Mingqian Lion Peak with bright green color and orchid fragrance. It is green in color, rich in fragrance, mellow in taste and beautiful in shape.

Pieces of tender green tea leaves are slowly unfolded in the hot water, with a charming and full posture.

"When you take a sip of this tea, you will feel bitter at first, and then you will have an endless aftertaste of sweetness." Empress Zhang said gently: "Tea can soothe the heart, precisely because of the bitterness and astringency. People will always taste bitterness and astringency in their whole life." No matter how noble and delicate, it cannot be avoided."

How to cook chicken soup for the soul?Ajiu looked at Queen Zhang with a smile, thinking it was very interesting.

After Empress Zhang talked about the truth that life is bitter before it is sweet, and that a woman must go through hardships to be considered complete, she euphemistically proposed that Ajiu personally select a few newcomers for the East Palace, "...you are too old, and you are not willing to let the newcomers Come in, I know it. But the heir is important."

"Success." Without thinking about it, Ah Jiu agreed with a smile, "Listen to you, pick a few more beauties for His Royal Highness."

Empress Zhang was still suffocating the truth and wanted to tell Ajiu earnestly, but she agreed when she saw that Ajiu was so happy, but she didn't react for a while.After being stunned for a moment, Empress Zhang smiled slightly, "This is a good boy."

Queen Zhang looked at Ajiu with pity.Without makeup, she is as beautiful as a hibiscus in water. She already has six children, and she still has such beauty, which is really rare.But so what?As long as there are newcomers, maybe which one will win Xiao Ten's favor, the situation will be quite different.

Not to mention the crown princess, even the queen, without her husband's favor, would have difficulty gaining a foothold in the palace.

Among the women in the harem, even if they are empresses, which one didn't go to great lengths to win the favor of the emperor, for the status, life, and interests of themselves and their children?Ajiu, you have to have this experience too.

Ah Jiu agreed very readily. Empress Zhang couldn't believe it at first, then she was happy, and then she became suspicious again.Ajiu, don't you want to learn from Emperor Wu of Jin's empress Yang Yan?Promise to a beauty pageant, but only pick white and tall ones, but don't want any real beauties?

During the Western Jin Dynasty, Empress Yang Yan held a beauty pageant for Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty. All the beauties who attracted attention were discarded with various excuses, as long as they were tall and fair-skinned.According to her selection method, if no real beauties can be selected, of course no one will be able to deprive her of her favor and endanger her status.

"Xiao Shi is busy with state affairs and has worked very hard. When he returns to the East Palace, he should be accompanied by a considerate and real beauty." Empress Zhang worriedly reminded, "It must be a real beauty."

"Of course." Ajiu smiled, "That is necessary."

Not only is she considerate, she is not only a real beauty, but she is also a childhood sweetheart with him, don't worry.

Ajiu sent Queen Zhang away smoothly.

After that, Ajiu lay down again, "High mountains and flowing water, continue."

Guqin sounded again, clear and lively, with melodious rhyme.

In the afternoon, when the kindergarten was over, Second Master Pei sent Xiao Pingping and Aruo Ayi back in person.Of course, he would also drop by to see little Ah Shen and little Ah Xie.Little Axie is only two months old, and he still can't laugh, but he is already his grandfather's sweetheart.

The three children were very happy to see Ajiu, and cheered loudly, "Mom, we are back!" Ajiu smiled Mimi, kissed Xiaopingping, Aruo, and Ayi one by one, and ordered Fu Mu to take them back to change clothes and freshen up.Xiao Zhengzheng had a lot of homework, and before he came back from school, Xiao Pingping temporarily became the boss, and he greeted A Ruo and A Yi in a grand manner, "Come on, brother, let's go clean up and change our clothes so that we can play with our younger brothers and sisters." " A Ruo and A Yi Dian'er agreed, and the three children left together.

Ajiu smiled and thanked Second Master Pei, "Daddy, with your help, I am much more relaxed. Ah Shen and Ah Xie sleep most of the day, they are very well-behaved, and they are not noisy at all. The little ones are not noisy. You took the big one away, I am very free."

Second Master Pei smiled, "Father is not helping you, but he likes grandsons and granddaughters."

It's not because of you, Ajiu, it's because the children are cute.

"I fell out of favor." Ajiu smiled mischievously.

Ajiu picked up a piece of honeydew melon and handed it to Second Master Pei graciously, "Father, I will curry favor with you quickly, so as not to forget about my daughter immediately when you see your grandson." Second Master Pei took the honeydew melon and said with a smile: " After my daughter's hands, this melon is even sweeter." Ajiu smiled.

While eating honeydew melons, Ajiu told about Queen Zhang's visit today, "...Father, she asked me to pick it myself, and she was afraid that I wouldn't pick something for Brother Ten."

Second Master Pei put down the melon in his hand, took the towel, and slowly wiped his hands, "The Queen should also ask this question."

Second Master Pei's voice was slow, but he was extremely angry in his heart.That's right, if the Crown Princess has difficulty in bearing children in the future and the Empress wants to add new people to the East Palace, it is not her fault.However, Ah Jiu gave birth to twins more than two months ago, Empress Zhang, are you in a hurry.

It's not that my daughter doesn't feel bad.

Ajiu smiled, "Father, your daughter is so smart, I agreed immediately without even thinking about what she said."

Second Master Pei turned his head to look at Ah Jiu, and the father and daughter smiled knowingly.

Yes, promise her, promise her without hesitation.Then, just hand it over to the crown prince.That's his own mother, let him deal with it.

Although Lin Youhui and Mrs. Fang get along like mother and daughter, she knows how to treat her mother-in-law.Before Ah Jiu got married, she taught, "If the mother-in-law is provocative, let the husband deal with it. You don't have to stand out. If the husband has you in his heart, he will naturally know how to deal with his own mother; if the husband doesn't have you in his heart (of course this is impossible, Mother said what if), and you don't have to confront your mother-in-law stupidly."

Ajiu thinks so.

The father and daughter talked for a while, Xiao Pingping and Ah Ruo Yi came out after changing their clothes, Ah Shen and Ah Xie also woke up.Second Master Pei hugged his little grandson and granddaughter, feeling infinitely satisfied.

"Marry little Axie back to our family." Second Master Pei said with a smile.

"It's not good, the blood relationship is too close." Ajiu objected casually.

Second Master Pei glared at her.

"I'll talk about it later, I'll talk about it later." Ajiu was guilty of being stared at by her father, and she changed her words with a smile all over her face.

Xiao Pingping, A Ruo, and A Yi all had winks, "Mother is afraid of grandpa!" The three younger brothers looked at each other, with a tacit understanding, and ran to Second Master Pei together, smiling brightly at grandpa.

The crown prince deliberately picked a queen who was present when the emperor and Empress Zhang were present, and politely rejected Empress Zhang's proposal for a beauty pageant, "...I appreciate the empress's kindness. Ajiu is very filial and virtuous, and she took her mother's will as a truth as soon as she heard it." , I really pay attention to choosing a lady from a famous family. However, apart from being filial to my father and mother, I am busy with business and taking care of my wife and children. There is no other energy. It is unnecessary to choose a beautiful woman for me. Allow Xiao Ten not to take part in beauty contests, and not to add newcomers to the East Palace."

The fat emperor smiled, "You already have five sons and one daughter, and you have both children. Since you don't have to worry about offspring, whether you add people to the East Palace depends entirely on your preferences. If you don't like it, no one can force you."

As the fat emperor spoke, he glanced at Empress Zhang with dissatisfaction.Didn't I say that it all depends on Xiao Ten's wishes?Just ask Xiao Ten directly and it's over, what are you messing about.Forcing Ajiu, forcing Xiao Ten to explain things so solemnly and carefully, it seemed like he had done something wrong.Xiao Shi likes to pamper women, of course no one can stop him.If he doesn't like it, no one can force it on him.He is the crown prince, the future emperor, and he doesn't have to sell himself.

If you don't like it, you have to enrich the harem. Are you free?

Those beautiful and colorful girls in the harem are here to add pleasure to him, not to add to his troubles. You don't even understand such a simple truth.

Queen Zhang was very upset.Why didn't Ajiu come to this trick?In front of her own face, she agreed very readily, turned around and let Xiao Shilai refuse in person!Ajiu, she...is really disgusting.
