The Possession of My Beloved

    However, Liu Miantang has always been a kind person, and if it is not necessary, she will not say anything false.

    At this time, Miss He San was speaking to her in private.

    So she thought about it for a while, and said bluntly: "I don't know what Miss Lian is thinking, but she hits the spot with you, so good that she wants to be with you... Forgive my ignorance and don't understand what it means. ."

    He Zhen went out with her father when she was a child, and her knowledge was not short. But once there is greed in people's hearts, it is inevitable that there will be a time when one will obstruct one's purpose.

    She fell in love with King Huaiyang at first sight, and since then, she has only adored him. Originally, because of the barrier of identity, I thought that I would miss this life. But God took pity on her and suddenly opened a window for her.

    This is enough to make people ecstatic, how can I care if the abyss in Gu window is not?

    She originally intended to show off to Lady Liu, and her original obsession was not a mirage. But after listening to Miantang pouring a basin of cold water over it, she didn't feel that it was a bit of a disappointment, and she just scolded: "Miss Lian and other family members, their vision and knowledge are not the women in the streets. They were born to be the mistresses of the house. , how can you just blindly care about the relationship between the children? Maintaining the harmony of the palace, so that the prince can dedicate himself to the affairs of the country is the most important thing..."

    Mian Tang also felt that she had too much to say, so she just smiled and said: "No, a vulgar woman like me is not a mistress. Fortunately, my husband is a People with flat heads, I don't have to search for my sister's soulmate in a radius of a hundred miles for the world's major events, and then change the way to put him in front of him... Well, this is the list I sorted out in the past two days. The shortcomings you mentioned to me last time have already been There are improvements, if there are still things that need to be changed, you can send someone to pass the message to my cabinet."

    The words were not speculative, and after speaking, she expressed that it was not good to delay Miss He San's time, and went straight to the carriage.

    Leaving Miss He San in the carriage, she was angry and anxious for a while, but she couldn't help feeling that Liu Miantang's words were reasonable... , just thinking about his own thoughts.

    Besides Liu Miantang, after a busy day, at night, everything in the North Street house was as usual.

    Mother Li bought delicious venison from the hunter, sliced ​​thinly, and smoked the venison with fruit wood to eat. The soup head is boiled beef bone and deer tendon soup, boiled into a white milk-colored soup head, sprinkled with chopped green onion and delicious.

    Because of the soup, Mama Li baked another eight-inch flatbread today, with layers of crispy, just right to eat it with fresh soup.

    During dinner, the two little maids stood at the master's table with books on their heads to serve.

    This is a new method that Li mother disliked that they could not stand upright.

    Miantang looked pitiful as the two maids were crumbling, so she asked them to take out the books and go to the small table next to them to eat.

    The two maids carefully looked at Mama Li's face. Li's mother looked at Wang Ye's face.

    In the end, it was Cui Jiu who spoke: "This is not a deep palace, just learn the rules like they are."

    After these words, Mama Li finally relaxed her face, and the two little maids went to dinner with a look of relief.

    During the meal, Miantang remembered that in the daytime, He Zhen talked about the anecdote of the carriage where the two sisters served a husband together, so she casually told her husband.

    Cui Xingzhou listened to each other at first, but the more he heard it, the more solemn his face became, and his appearance was faintly dark, which had the potential to be a true inheritance of Li's mother.

    Miantang was concentrating on eating the venison with the side dishes, and didn't pay attention to her husband's face at all, she just said, "I was happy at the time, but I regret it when I come back. You said If this Miss He San really entered the palace, then the He family would be a noble relative of Zhenzhou. I ran on the He family before, but I didn't want his family to soar so fast. Husband, look, do I want to be better with the He family? Repair the relationship?"

    "Absurd! How could Miss Lian act like this? Could it be that He San has hysteria and is full of delusions?" Cui Jiu put down his chopsticks and said in an unhappy tone.

    Liu Miantang took a large piece of venison for her husband and said, "Have hysteria? That's not the case. I think Miss He Zhen is normal. But I wonder what all the ladies think. Yes? Even if you want to stabilize your position in the main room, is it too urgent?"

      It must have been the last time he went back to ask He Zhen, but somehow it reached his cousin, she misunderstood what he meant, and eagerly wanted to take a concubine for him...

    Liu Miantang still said to herself: "But that prince is also pitiful. People say that he and his cousin were childhood sweethearts. I thought they were two little friends, and they were deeply affectionate. It's just a marriage of trade-offs."

    Cui Jiu said in a long voice: "You are not from the palace, how do you know?"

    Liu Miantang drank the soup and said, "She is not married yet, so she went to her husband to take a concubine. This kind of behavior is similar to the flattering little officials under the high officials. What's the difference, I can't see the truth, I just think that the prince is being flattered every day, doesn't his **** hurt?"

    Before she finished speaking, Cui Jiu slammed and smashed the bowl in her hand.

    Miantang was stunned, looked up at her husband's livid face, a little dazed. It was just a private chat between husband and wife, why did he suddenly get angry?

    Cui Xingzhou was in a hurry and broke the bowl in his hand, his face was normal, but he spoke in a strong tone: "The voice of drinking soup is so loud, I think you should talk to Mama Li too. Learn the rules!"

    After he finished speaking, he straightened up and walked out.

    Mo Ru could not care that she was choked by the cake again, so she ran all the way to chase the prince away.

    Leaving Miantang holding the bowl speechless, staring blankly and turning to look at Mama Li aside.

     Mother Li, who had been in the Asura fire for a long time, is now very good at adapting to the situation. She only sighed and said to Liu Miantang, "Madam, the sound of your soup just now... is indeed a little loud..."

    …

    Besides the King of Huaiyang, he was fed up with being scolded by the ignorant little woman in front of him.

      The maids and wives filed in and out of the yard, preparing water and changing clothes for the prince, making beds and incense.

    However, the prince waved his hand and told all the people to retreat, leaving the senior management alone.

    The senior executives have been working in the mansion for a long time. Seeing that the prince looked a little wrong tonight, he was very uneasy for a while, and only listened to the prince's slow questioning.

    In the end, the prince asked, but it was some daily life in the house. For example, Miss Lian can hold a tea party recently, who will come, and so on.

    The senior executives answered truthfully one by one, thinking that the prince seemed to have paid attention to the matter of the third lady of the royal merchant He family, and specially emphasized that Miss Lian and Miss Na He had a good conversation.

    Unexpectedly, the prince's face became more and more expressionless, and finally he tapped the table and the executives at the same time: "Since my father, you have been the steward of this palace, you know why ?"

      Biography. I know who the master of this palace is, and will never be in the company of a villain who tends to be inflamed."

    Senior executives are afraid of cold sweats after hearing this. He knew that the prince was talking about the old prince, and that many people in the palace were bullying the current concubine and prince. Fortunately, he was reminded by his old father at that time, and did not follow him to do evil. Therefore, when the prince was in charge, the palace cleaned out a group of servants, but he was promoted and became the steward of the palace.

    Seeing his expression, Cui Xingzhou understood that he understood what he meant, and then said lightly: "Check it out when I go down, when I talked to you last time, someone was in front of me. Go ahead with the message."

    After the senior executive got the prince's order, he immediately withdrew, and his mind quickly turned. Thinking about these two conversations, his heart suddenly became clear.

    After thinking about it carefully, the back of the senior executive began to sweat again.

    Your Majesty asks, why should others think about it? Besides, Miss Lian is very good-natured. These words... Did it come out of him that made the prince unhappy?

    I figured this out, the senior executives didn't sleep that night, and immediately interrogated the little servants in front of him individually. These things are usually staring at each other, stepping on each other's upper positions, and in less than two hours, they have checked the bottom.

    On the order of the senior executive, only the minions who dared to go to the inner court were tied up.

    This night, the sound of boards in the outer courtyard, far away from the inner courtyard, continued. Because they were afraid of disturbing the masters, the minions who leaked the air and loved to spread the word were all gagged with rags. After being beaten, they were all sent out.

    The next morning, when Cui Xingzhou came to greet her mother, Concubine Chu learned about the annoyance last night from the mother-in-law beside her.

      !" While serving her son's food, Concubine Chu scolded the senior executives standing by.

      : "Although it's not a yamen, there must be some people who don't know the importance of spying on the son's situation. If it is some daily favorite food, it's fine, but if people with ulterior motives use the people around the son to spy on the military situation, it will be a big problem. It is also good to constrain the little servants to be strict and understand the rules."

    Cui Xingzhou's face has not been smiling since yesterday. It's only now that I look at my mother, it eases a little bit. When he said this, he stared at the dishes in the bowl without squinting.

    But my cousin Lian Lilan, who was sitting at the table eating, couldn't help but look up at him.

    But she was calm, after a quick glance, she only lowered her head to eat and did not speak, but her face seemed to be a little paler.

    The concubine didn't know the lawsuit inside, but she listened to whatever her son said, and she didn't bother to train the stewards anymore. She only talked about the pleasures of visiting the garden a few days ago.

    Cui Xingzhou also listened with a smile. After finishing breakfast with his mother, he had time to go out of the dining room with his cousin Lian Lilan.

    This cousin of his is a well-behaved, although yesterday when the outer courtyard was playing the board, someone saw the maid next to her listening to the voice under the outer courtyard wall, but today she didn't ask a word, as if she really didn't Just curious.

    Cui Xingzhou originally wanted to beat his cousin. As his future princess, her mind should be used on the right path. She has not yet passed the door, but she wants to draw people into the mansion and let the concubine take her favor. What is it like?

    I didn't expect that he didn't say anything, but my cousin spoke first: "I've been bored these days, and I'm rushing to get married with porcelain at home, so I followed my family to Lingquan Town for a walk..."

    Cui Xingzhou gave a dry "um", and she continued: "I didn't mean anything to him, but I met some handkerchiefs, and I felt like they were friends, so I invited them to come to the mansion... I don't know. Did you quarrel with the concubine?"

      , don't have to be too friendly, make some irrelevant."

    Lian Lilan understood her cousin's beating, and became more and more certain that Cui Xingzhou had a personal relationship with that Miss He. Otherwise, how could this word spread so quickly and suddenly reached the ears of my cousin?

    "Cousin, my mother has always taught me to respect my husband, I just want you to be alone and no one to take care of you. Taking care of me, I lost my sense of proportion for a while, and I also ask my cousin to forgive me."

    Speaking of these words, Lian Lilan's eyes were already moist, but they didn't fall out, but she was very weak and helpless, very much like Concubine Chu's appearance when she was young.

    If it was before, Cui Xingzhou would not have bothered with his cousin in these matters.

      To the "pop" sound.

    For a time, when the cousin was completely moved, he just felt bored and didn't want to say a word.

    However, he never considered himself a saint.

    Since I have moved my mind to set up a foreign house and house Lady Liu, it is unreasonable to be harsh on my cousin and scold her for taking a concubine for myself. Since the senior executives are frightening, it is enough to prevent anyone from secretly listening to their preferences in the future.

    My cousin is also a smart person. After today's beating, she should think about it and stop worrying.

    Thinking of this, he replied lightly: "You haven't done anything wrong, there's nothing you can't forgive, cousin don't have to think about it."

    So the two of them were separated by a few steps, silently walked for a while, and then said goodbye to each other.

    Lian Lilan looked at the back of King Huaiyang, and felt a sudden burst of sadness in her heart. She asked herself to do her best, but she didn't know where to offend that He Zhen, and even instructed her cousin to slap her in the face!

    So when Lian Xiang was holding Miss He San's salutation letter and carefully seeing Lian Lilan, Lian Lilan grabbed the post, tore it to pieces, and said coldly, "Tell me I'm sick, see you!"

    …

    The imperial court's order to ban troops has been issued, and each place must present its own soldiers' weapons to the imperial court. Except for the necessary defense forces, the rest of the soldiers must be disarmed and returned to the fields, and they must not be illegally stationed.

    The reduction of troops in Zhenzhou is also imminent. As long as Yangshan's rebels start to recruit security, then the elite soldiers he has carefully raised for many years will not be able to stay.

    However, Cui Xingzhou now has a bottom line in his heart, and only let the civilian officials below him report the preparation of weapons step by step, but it is a situation that is very cooperative with the court.

    After finishing the routine work in the military camp, Cui Xingzhou thought about going back to North Street for a lunch break.

    But as soon as he returned to the gate of North Street, Cui Xingzhou felt that the atmosphere was wrong.

      But only Miss Liu, who greets her warmly every time, is missing.

    Cui Xingzhou looked up at Mama Li, and was about to ask Liu Miantang if she was going out when the maid Bicao came out of the house. When she saw Cui Xingzhou, she immediately shouted into the room, "Madam, the boss is back!"

    But after this sound, no one came out to greet him.

    Cui Xingzhou only walked into the house and found Miantang practicing calligraphy by the window in the house.

      Because inside the house, she only wore a narrow-waisted top with short sleeves, a home wide skirt, and a jacket over her shoulders. A slender arm stretched out, holding a pen and writing slowly. There is a sloppy scent of tiredness and laziness dressing up and down.

    But she looks so good, she never feels too sloppy, but she feels so casual, so she doesn't have a sense of style.

    Cui Xingzhou admired the beauty of the beautiful woman sitting on the side for a while, and then walked over.

    Miantang is tracing large characters on a thin copy paper. The copybook used was not Li Quanming written by Cui Xingzhou a few days ago, but a post from a popular commodity bought in a calligraphy and painting shop.

    Cui Xingzhou looked down for a while, and felt that although the font was trembling, but when he saw it, he praised: "The writing is good, there is some progress..."

    If he complimented like this on weekdays, Lady Liu would have raised her head lightly, raised her eyebrows, and said with a look of surprise: "Master, are you telling the truth?"

    But today's Liu Miantang is like a jade statue carved by frost, and he didn't even look at Cui Xingzhou.

    Cui Xingzhou naturally noticed the difference, and stood for a while, seeing that she was ignoring others, he frowned, and said, "What's wrong? Don't speak?"

    He always speaks and does things according to his own wishes. In the past, when he got angry at someone in the palace, who didn't wait for his anger to dissipate, and then quickly complimented and flattered him. Who dares to show a face to the prince?

    After Cui Xingzhou went out for a day, he had long forgotten about throwing a bowl in the courtyard of North Street.

    So after Cui Xingzhou left, she closed the door and shed tears silently for a while. He felt that what Xianggong sent should be Xie Huo, and he refused to forgive himself for the things he had previously had with Mr. Ziyu.

    If it is anything else, it is better to ask for forgiveness. But she couldn't do anything about the knot that this class of men couldn't solve by herself. It's better to face it calmly, so as not to have bumps when the two get along in the future.

    So husband Cui Jiu dissipated her anger and came back as if nothing had happened, but she didn't want to see him throw bowls and scold others in the future, so she just ignored him and went about her own business.

    How could King Huaiyang bear this, he quietly stood behind Miantang for a while, then went out with a sullen expression.

    Mother Li was waiting at the door at this time. Seeing the prince come out with an unhappy face, she quickly straightened her face and waited for the prince's orders.

    "What's wrong with her?" Cui Xingzhou asked unhappily with his thick eyebrows raised.

    Mama Li can understand the forgetfulness of the prince, so she cautiously said: "Since you left, Madam Xu was frightened by your anger and cried for a while, but she didn't like to talk much. ."

    Cui Xingzhou paused for a moment, then remembered the situation when he left the yard. To be honest, now that I think about it, Shen scolds Miantang for not eating well in front of the servants, but which woman can have a decent face?

    She is also the hostess on the surface of the North Street house. Li's mother said that she was crying, and just now she saw that the circles of her eyes were indeed a little red...

    Cui Xingzhou frowned. He originally wanted to turn back to the barracks, but when he reached the door of the house, he paused, and then walked back into the house again.

    He didn't want to coax that woman. In fact, Cui Xingzhou was so grown up that he had never coaxed any woman except his mother.

    But he can't stand her not speaking. And... the matter of Yangshan is over now, he still has to use her - after finding a sufficient reason, Cui Jiu's turning steps are naturally lighter.

    How to coax and persuade Miantang is also very tricky, he raised the curtain again and came into the house, after thinking about it, he stretched out his hand to grab Miantang's slender wrist and pulled her into his arms , said in a low voice, "Have you cried?"

    Miantang didn't speak, just pursed her pink lips, like petals after rain, red and attractive...

    Mian Tang raised her big eyes and looked at him at this time: "Xianggong, you have always been gentle and polite, and you have never spoken loudly to me, yesterday's incident, I ... I think Xianggong gave birth to me. I'm angry. But I don't know what I did wrong and how to correct it. You didn't go home all night, and I didn't sleep all night. I was always worried that you could have a warm and peaceful place to sleep when you were outside. So..."

    Mian Tang said this, paused, and then said thoughtfully: "Next time my husband doesn't like me again, let me go out and you stay at home. It also saves me from worrying. You are cold and warm, and you have less concern..."

    Cui Xingzhou thought she was funny, where is she going to be a lonely woman from a foreign country? Are you staying at an inn?
