Houmen Yixiang

Chapter 273 Wu Sheng Leng Xun Meets (Happy New Year's Eve!)

Imperial Palace, Oasis Palace.

The past few days Xiao Qing has been very restless.

In the past, apart from the maids and eunuchs who had been serving her all the time in Ganquan Palace, few other people moved around.

Now because of the poisoning of Emperor Longde, the queen mother came up with the method of the previous emperor's dream, and repaired it extensively. The palaces of several concubines who had princes were arranged to be repaired first.

The reason is that the emperor's heir has merit.

In fact, the Empress Dowager felt that the poison on Emperor Longde was inseparable from the fight for the throne, so she took the opportunity to investigate first from the concubines who had the most reason and opportunity to attack.

The empress and Xiao Qing set an example for the Six Palaces, and they should be ranked first.

There are too many people walking around in the palace, and life will inevitably be somewhat inconvenient. The queen mother suggested that they can move to another palace for a temporary stay.

The queen did not agree, because the middle palace is a status symbol.

Xiao Qing didn't agree either, the reason was that she was used to it here and didn't want to move it.

In fact, he was afraid that Leng Xun would sneak in again one day.

In case someone hits you...

Xiao Qing couldn't imagine it!

It was late at night, Xiao Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, another night passed safely.

Jian Jia had already been sent to rest by her, and there was no one to serve her, so Xiao Qing got up, and was about to blow out the candles when a gust of wind suddenly blew.

She subconsciously turned around, almost screaming.

"You... why are you here again? Go away! Right now the palace is on guard and there are people everywhere, you should leave quickly!" Xiao Qing caressed her chest and growled.

Leng Xun took two steps closer to her and locked her tightly within reach.

The strong masculine aura made it difficult for Xiao Qing to breathe.

"Go away!" Xiao Qing almost begged, "If someone sees you, we will all die!"

Leng Xun lightly sneered, "You can't have the same acupuncture points in life, but it's not bad to share the same quilt after death."

Xiao Qing's heart beat violently, "Are you crazy? You are alive and well, why are you dying!?"

"The only one who lives well is you! Under the harem alone, the prince is highly respected, and he aspires to the throne, you are the No. 1 in the harem! For the rest of your life, you will be free and unrestrained, happy and unrestrained, loved by all people, the most beautiful woman in this world." , who can cross you?"

His voice was somewhat indignant, but Xiao Qing's voice sounded desolate, it was just a beautiful canary in a gorgeous birdcage, what happiness could there be?

"What about you? How have you been these years?"

Xiao Qing really wanted to ask him if he was married and had children. For the sake of his wife and children, he should end the fate that shouldn't have happened!
But she couldn't ask, the thought of him having a wife and children made her heartbroken!
"Me?" Leng Xun sneered, the laughter was sad, "Thanks to you, I didn't die."

Xiao Qing didn't know what he meant, but she had to say something.

"Brother Leng Xun, before, it was a fulfillment of the regrets we had when we were young! Now that we each have our own lives, it's for ourselves, and our respective...family, everything, please stop here? I beg you!"

She is not only Xiao Qing, but also Concubine Xiao Gui, the mother concubine of the third prince, and the eldest lady of the Duke of Zhen.

Something happened to her, and it affected her whole body.

She cannot lead everyone into the abyss for her own selfish desires.

Xiao Qing's earnest persuasion did not get a response from Leng Xun.

"I have the final say in this game. I can stop whenever I want to! You have no right to say no!"

"Leng Xun, you can be so selfish, but I can't!" Xiao Qing resolutely said: "I won't let you touch me again! If you don't want to force me to death, you go away immediately!"

"Exactly, if you die, I will accompany you to go to Huangquan to be a pair of fateful mandarin ducks!"

Xiao Qing was shocked, "You...are you really crazy!?"

Leng Xun said nothing, and with a big hand, he directly hugged Xiao Qing.

"Put me down!"

Xiao Qing struggled in his arms, and was instantly overwhelmed by him on the bed.

There was a sound of the clothes being ripped, and Xiao Qing's round and white shoulders were exposed in front of her eyes, as beautiful as a young girl.

Leng Xun's eyes were dark, and he bent down...

The door was kicked open without warning!

"Let go of my concubine mother!"

Wu Sheng rushed in with scarlet eyes.

Seeing his noble mother and concubine being pressed down by a strange man, wanton and frivolous, Wu Sheng's blood flowed backwards, and his eyes were about to split.

Before he rushed to the bed, Leng Xun raised his hand lightly, and Wu Sheng flew out like a kite with a broken string.

The moment his body hit the wall and slid to the ground, a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Cheng'er!" Xiao Qing turned pale with shock, she didn't know where the strength came from, she pushed Leng Xun away and rushed to Wu Sheng's side.

"Are you okay? Cheng'er, don't scare the concubine mother!" Seeing Wu Sheng's face as white as paper, Xiao Qing almost cried.

In Wu Sheng's memory, it seemed that it was the first time he had seen Xiao Qing so emotionally exposed.

Wu Sheng was a little overwhelmed.

The dazed appearance, as if she had lost consciousness, caused Xiao Qing to feel great pain in her heart.

Back then, she chose to abandon Leng Xun and enter the palace as a concubine for the Duke of Zhen. In order to gain a firm foothold in the palace, she devoted herself to the man she didn't love, tactfully Cheng Huan, conceived a dragon heir, and gave birth to Wu Sheng.

The child is a pawn she can't help but she doesn't want to see him. When she sees him, she thinks of her betrayal to Leng Xun and the shame of having to have sex.

She ignored him and ignored him, but when he saw her, he was like a flower seeing the sun, with a bright smile on his face and admiration in his eyes.

He loves her and respects her, even if she faces him, she will never smile!
After all, it was the flesh that fell from her body, and Xiao Qing's indifferent heart slowly melted away.

It's just that the long-term estrangement between mother and child made her not know how to get along with him normally!
At this moment, when Wu Sheng, who was close to a coma, leaned against her weakly, she remembered that she had never hugged him once since he was born!
Now, she finally hugged him, but he was dying.

The turbulent grief, guilt, self-blame, and regret almost overwhelmed Xiao Qing, and she said desperately:
"Leng Xun! Why did you kill my Sheng'er, why!? I betrayed you back then, I betrayed the promise between us, and chose to enter the palace as a concubine! But why I did this, don't you know!? My father died in the palace, my eldest brother was paralyzed, and Yichen was only two years old. If I don’t stand up, the Zhenguo government will collapse, and the Xiao family will be finished! It’s going to disappear! I grew up under the shade of my ancestors, and the Xiao family is in trouble, how can I take care of myself!?”

Xiao Qing roared hysterically, "But even so, I thought about disregarding everything and being with you selfishly! The night before entering the palace, I went to look for you, why did you push me away, why didn't you want me? ? The choice you made yourself, how can you blame me now!?"

Leng Xun also growled sadly, "My Leng family has followed your Xiao family patriarch for several generations. If you can't bear the Xiao family's disaster, how can I bear it? Back then, the emperor's decree had been made. If you resisted the decree, Even if the Xiao family is put to death, if you enter the palace according to the order but are not chastity, the Xiao family will also be doomed! What do you want me to do? What can I do?"

Back when he watched the woman he loved had to enter the palace, how many people could understand the helpless pain?

"Since we didn't have a choice back then, what do you mean by pursuing it now? Could it be that if you secretly met with me in such a way, if you were discovered, wouldn't you implicate the Duke of Zhen?"

After Xiao Qing yelled hoarsely, the room was silent for a moment.

Leng Xun slowly calmed down, and he didn't know what to think of. When he spoke again, there was indifference and hatred in his voice, "I have made my wish, and I have no attachment to this world anymore! All of my people will be wiped out!"

Xiao Qing was stunned, "What do you mean by that? Who is sorry for you? Didn't I understand what I just said? Obviously everyone had no choice but to..."

Leng Xun sneered, but remained silent.

The meaning of destruction in that laughter made Xiao Qing involuntarily shudder, "Did something happen later? How can my elder brother and the Xiao family feel sorry for you? You hate it so much that you insist on destroying the town. The government can't?"

"You should ask your good brother!" Leng Xun sarcastically said.

"So, you came to me again and again, not because you couldn't forget me, but because you used me as a pawn for revenge?" Xiao Qing stared at him blankly, feeling cold all over.

Seeing that he didn't deny it, she closed her eyes and growled in grief and anger, "Get out! Get out! I don't want to see you again! Forever!"

After Leng Xun left, Xiao Qing hugged Wu Sheng and cried silently for a long time, not only for Wu Sheng, but also for herself.

Her hands were a bit strong, "Mother Concubine," Wu Sheng in his arms suddenly said lightly, "You hurt my son."

Xiao Qing was stunned for a moment, and then burst into tears of joy, "Cheng'er, are you okay? Is there any pain? Mother Concubine sent someone to call the imperial doctor! Concubine Mother was excited just now..."

"No need for mother and concubine, the imperial physician is here, how can I explain it?" Wu Sheng said calmly: "It's unreasonable for my son to come here late at night. If I disturb the imperial physician again, I'm afraid..."

Wu Sheng didn't go further, but Xiao Qing understood that now everyone in the palace is in danger whether they know it or not.

If the imperial doctor came and caused gossip, I'm afraid that what she wanted to hide would be exposed.

"Cheng'er," Xiao Qing bit her lip, "The man just now was an old acquaintance of my concubine's mother. Because of some past, he misunderstood her concubine's mother, but it's not what you imagined."

As a woman, she lived with others, and she didn't feel sorry for Emperor Longde in her heart!

But as a mother, she was ashamed to be seen by her own son.

Xiao Qing thought that Wu Sheng hadn't heard their conversation just now, so she couldn't help defending herself and Leng Xun.

It's a pity that her torn clothes and messy bun made her defense pale and powerless.

Wu Sheng lowered his eyes, no one could see the expression in those eyes, he only heard him say: "I understand, mother concubine, I will take my leave first, you can rest well."

"Then be careful, if you feel unwell, see the imperial physician immediately tomorrow."

Xiao Qing reminded her earnestly that this was a mother's instinctive worry when she saw her son get hurt.

Hearing this in Wu Sheng's ears, he felt extremely ironic.

Enduring the double pain of body and mind, he left Ganquan Palace.

Ganquan Palace is located in a remote place, during the day due to repairs, people come and go, but at night it is extremely quiet.

When Wu Sheng came here on a whim tonight for some reason, he found that the night guards of Ganquan Palace were much looser than he had imagined.

almost none.

He didn't know what emotion was in his heart at the time, and he walked involuntarily into the Ganquan Palace.

The more you go in, the more strange you feel.

It's okay that there is no one outside, why is there no one in the court ladies and eunuchs who are on duty at night?

Until he stood outside Xiao Qing's sleeping hall, heard a voice inside, broke in, and saw that shameful scene that he will never forget in this life!
Really ironic, huh, huh.

Wu Sheng didn't know how he got back to his bedroom, how he lay down, and when he fell asleep.

There was chaos in the mind.

Don't want to know anything, and don't know anything.

Until noon the next day, the little eunuch announced that the imperial concubine had sent Jian Jia to visit him.

Only then did Wu Sheng let out a low laugh, which was desolate.

He grew up so big, even though he was attacked by wolves when he was a child and was almost killed by wolves, his mother and concubine did not send anyone to greet him.

Instead, he took the palace servants and the imperial physician to the Duke of Zhen's mansion to visit his cousin Xiao Yichen who rescued him from the wolf mouth!

He was young at the time, and after escaping from the dead, he cried for his mother and concubine.

The queen mother coaxed him for a long time, "Cheng'er, your cousin risked his life to save you, you were frightened, and the imperial doctor ordered you to rest, so your mother and concubine went to see him instead of you, thank you very much."

A child without a mother's love is always so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

Wu Sheng accepted this explanation.

Thinking about it now, there is only the cruel and cold truth: his concubine mother knew how to love, but she just didn't love him, because he was born by her and a man she didn't love!He is just a useful item for the government of the town!

Now she sent someone to condolences, acting like a mother, just because she was afraid that he would find trouble with that person, right?
Funny, really funny.

His efforts over the years are like a joke.

Wu Sheng laughed again.

The little eunuch outside didn't know why, thinking that Wu Sheng was overjoyed.

After all, in the past, Concubine Xiao Gui just smiled at Wu Sheng, and Wu Sheng could be silly for days!
Now that someone actually sent over to express condolences, no wonder the master was so happy that he could only smile!
The little eunuch felt that his master had finally made it through.

"My prince is fine, thank you mother and concubine for your love."

After receiving these words, Jian Jia returned to Ganquan Palace.

The commotion last night was a bit noisy, but fortunately, the people who were close to her were her own people, so Jian Jia made up a reason and gave a stern warning, and managed to get away with it.

But Xiao Qing was lying on the bed, in a very bad condition.

She wanted to go in several times, but was rejected by Xiao Qing, and then asked her to see Wu Sheng.

"Imperial Concubine, the servants are back."

Xiao Qing's powerless voice came from inside, "Cheng'er, how are you doing now?"

"Go back to your mother, the third prince said it's okay, but you should get up. There are so many people in our palace now, if there are any rumors, it will be bad for you and the third prince, as well as the Zhenguo government."

After a while of silence, Xiao Qing said: "Come in."

Jian Jia felt relieved, and hurriedly opened the door and entered.

In the house, it's a little messy.

Jian Jia hastily closed the door, and tidied up the room quickly.

Xiao Qing on the bed had a very bad complexion, her eyes were dull, and she was depressed, as if she had been hit hard.

Jian Jia applied a thick layer of powder for her, but it couldn't cover the black and blue under her eyes.

"Forget it, that's it."

Xiao Qing lazily raised her hand.

Jian Jia put down the powder box, "Your Majesty, this servant will pass on the food for you, it's almost noon, and you haven't even eaten a single grain of rice."

"No appetite, let's go later."

"Ma'am, Xiao Lingzi sent some hot and sour snacks from his hometown yesterday, why don't you just have some porridge?"

Like Xiao Yichen, Xiao Qing likes spicy food, but most of the royal meals in the palace are light and healthy.

A few days ago, Jian Jia encountered the big eunuch bullying the young eunuch in the palace, she spoke a few words of defense.

The little eunuch who was rescued, Xiao Lingzi, thanked her and privately gave her some hot and sour snacks from his hometown, just right for Xiao Qing's taste.

Xiao Qing didn't have much appetite at first, when Jian Jia mentioned it, she salivated and swallowed, thinking of the sour taste, "Then let's have some."

...

Today is the day when Suyifang reopens.

A few days ago, the three high-end items of Nishang Pavilion, no matter the style or price, all attracted enough attention and topics, and aroused heated discussions among the wives of wealthy families.

Immediately afterwards, the Yao Mansion personally revealed that the Miss Yao who had been recognized earlier was a fake, and that the real Yao Xue was brought back by Princess Zhuzhu Lu Xinyan, whom she met on the way to visit relatives in Jianglin.

Although the Yao family did not clearly state that Yao Xue's disappearance had nothing to do with Lu Xinyan, but the rumors in the market tended to have nothing to do with it.

The simplest truth: if Yao Xue's disappearance is related to Lu Xinyan, why should she bring her back, just kill her!
Because of these two incidents, the reopening of Suyifang has attracted much attention.

However, when Suyifang reopened its doors, it disappointed all the ladies and ladies.

The style, as always, continues the style of Suyifang, unique and chic.

But what about the rough texture?What happened to the price of [-] Wen?

Why not replace it with fine silk and satin! ?Why not sell it for a few taels of silver! ?

With their identities, how can they wear such rough linen, inferior silk and satin, and a hundred cents a piece of clothing! ?
The wives and ladies of the high-ranking families were very aggrieved, and some ordinary women, as well as the low-ranking maids of the high-ranking families, were overjoyed.

Such beautiful clothes and novel styles can be bought for only a hundred or a few hundred cash, which is really a bargain!

Su Yifang was taken away by Yixiang Pavilion, and now there are only two branches. As soon as new products are launched, they are immediately overcrowded.

Some styles were sold out within half an hour after they came out.

Although the price is not expensive, it wins with small profits but quick turnover.

Calculated after half a day, it is not worse than before!
Ye Shuang didn't expect the effect to be so good, but what gave her a headache was that there were more books.

Lu Xinyan looked at her rarely worried look, and said with a smile: "Aunt Ye, don't worry, I have already found a suitable accountant, and you can just check the accounts from now on."

"Really?" Ye Shuang was overjoyed.

Just as Lu Xinyan nodded, cheers came from the door, "Sister Zhuzhu, Aunt Ye! I'm here to see you!"

Yan Qing flew in like a butterfly, and was about to fall into Lu Xinyan's arms when a stern female voice sounded from behind, "Qing Ruo!"

Yan Qingruo stuck out her tongue, stood upright, and saluted, "Hello, sister Zhuzhu, hello, auntie Ye!"

Lu Xinyan looked behind Yan Qingruo curiously, but she was shocked!
She thought it was Yan Qingruo's cousin who came, but she didn't expect it to be Yan Qingruo's mother, Mrs. Yan.

"Hello Madam Yan!" Lu Xinyan and Ye Shuang saluted quickly.

"Hello Princess Zhuzhu, Master Ye Da!" Mrs. Yan replied, "This little monkey has caused trouble for you."

"Qing Ruo is very cute, pure and lively, with a real temperament. We not only like her, but also envy her!" Lu Xinyan smiled and said, "She must have grown up in a happy family. Her parents are loving, her family is harmonious, and her brothers are friendly, so she can teach such kindness. Lovely daughter!"

Mrs. Yan had always had a serious face, but she rarely showed a smile. Who would be upset when she heard such a compliment about her daughter and herself?
"Princess Zhuzhu's honor, it's because of your generosity that you tolerated this monkey's temper!"

"Mrs. Yan is modest,..."

Yan Qingruo listened to the politeness of several people, and interrupted unbearably: "Sister Zhuzhu, Auntie is here today, and she wants to order a dress for the birthday party on the third day of next month."

Lu Xinyan smiled and said: "Since Madam Yan's birthday, I will give Madam a gift."

Mrs. Yan glared at Yan Qingruo, and said with an unnatural expression: "No need! In fact, I came today to accompany the princess! I believed the previous rumors without verification, and I kept Qing Ruo locked up. It's because I'm superficial that she associates with you, please don't take it to heart, princess!"

Before Lu Xinyan answered, Yan Qingruo complained and cried: "Sister Zhuzhu, I'm miserable. My mother locked me up for more than half a month and didn't allow me to come out. She also threatened that I would sneak out, so she interrupted me." Legs! Sister Zhuzhu, you want to avenge me and kill Aniang severely! If the clothes are worth 2000 taels, you will accept 5000 taels from Aniang!"

Eat the white-eyed wolf!If there were no outsiders around, Mrs. Yan would definitely grab Yan Qingruo's ears and teach her the three principles and five constant principles!

"Sister Zhuzhu, look, Auntie is still staring at me, obviously she is wrong, why is she staring at me?"

Yan Qingruo hid behind Lu Xinyan aggrieved.

Mrs. Yan was annoyed and funny by her.

"All right, all right, I can't teach you any more. I'll tell you about my in-law's family tomorrow. I'll marry you early, and let your future mother-in-law take care of you!"

Yan Qingruo glanced at Lu Xinyan, blushing for some reason, "Then I will choose by myself, I will choose a family with sister Zhuzhu in the family, and I will definitely not be bullied."

She was young, and everyone thought she was joking.

Mrs. Yan shouted: "Princess, Master Ye, you see, this damn girl actually said that she wants to choose by herself, she is really not ashamed!"

Lu Xinyan smiled happily, Madam Yan said that if Yan Qing was right or left, she was really very spoiled, which made her very envious.

After a few people talked for a while, Lu Xinyan asked Madam Yan about her preferences in detail, and drew a sketch on the spot.

Mrs. Yan came here today mainly because she wrongly blamed Lu Xinyan, she mainly apologized, and the order was just to sell her favor as an apology.

When Lu Xinyan's sketch came out, Madam Yan knew that it wasn't that she sold it well to others, but that she took advantage of others!
If this dress is made, wearing it at the birthday banquet will definitely amaze everyone!

Therefore, Mrs. Yan insisted on buying it at the original price, but Lu Xinyan refused and insisted on giving it away.

Finally, under the coordination of Yan Qingruo and Ye Shuang, they reached an agreement: only charge the cost.

When Mrs. Yan was leaving, she solemnly invited Lu Xinyan and Ye Shuang to visit Yan's Mansion on the third day of next lunar month, and said that they would send someone to formally post invitations tomorrow.

Lu Xinyan and Ye Shuang agreed.

On the way back, Lu Xinyan suddenly thought of a question, she didn't seem to know Xiao Yichen's birthday yet.

It has been almost a year since the cave realized it last year.

The real familiarity is after Lanying Villa last year. If his birthday is after the familiarity, that uncle will definitely ask her for a gift shamelessly!

Since he didn't want it, Lu Xinyan guessed that Xiao Yichen's birthday should be between June and September.

It seems that I have to ask him carefully when I go back, and prepare a birthday present for him in advance.

Otherwise, if you can't get it out at that time, then uncle, you might be very angry!

In the evening, while someone was dragging her to bed eagerly, Lu Xinyan said: "Xiao Shizi, I met Mrs. Yan today."

"Oh." Stripping clothes off.

"Her birthday is on the third day of next month, and she invited me over."

"Oh." Continue to undress.

"Xiao Shizi, when is your birthday?" Lu Xinyan asked with a guilty conscience.

He had known her birthday a long time ago, but she only remembered to ask about his birthday now.

After the clothes were cleaned, someone's eyes darkened, and his tall and strong body fell on top of him.

He said absent-mindedly: "The eighth day of the sixth lunar month."

"The eighth day of June?" Lu Xinyan's eyes widened: "Isn't that only ten days?"

"Yeah." He lowered his head and began to concentrate on enjoying the food.

Lu Xinyan's body softened, and she pressed his head, "Then what kind of birthday gift do you want, I will prepare it in advance!"

Xiao Yichen propped up his upper body, but his hands didn't stop, watching the woman's eyes gradually blurred like spring water, her breathing getting heavier, he said lazily and meaningfully: "Are you willing to prepare anything I want?"

"Except for staying in the yard all day!"

Lu Xinyan thought with her toes, she knew what he would ask, so she blocked his words first.

But this time she was wrong.

"Not in the yard, I've made arrangements, just follow me when the time comes."

Lu Xinyan wanted to ask again, but the man had already bent down and blocked her red mouth...
