Don’t Learn Mandarin Ducks

    The time is approaching, and the moon is in the sky.

    Huayue was like a well-ripened shrimp, rolled up with clothes and bedding, and carried to the bathing pavilion in the mansion. Slave, she buried her head in the quilt and listened to the voice, she was very embarrassed and angry.

    "You can wash up tomorrow."

    Li Jingyun smiled: "Didn't you say it's uncomfortable?"

    "It's not so bad now," she said annoyed.

    My heart was filled to the brim, Li Jingyun hugged the mass in his arms and whispered: "Don't be ridiculous, you won't be able to sleep well later, arguing It's still Grandpa."

    Take a deep breath, Huayue gritted her teeth, think about it for a few days, bear it, endure it again.

    She reached out her hand to cover her hot face, she tilted her head to his chest and decided to play dead.

    Li Jingyun carried her into the bath, the man in his arms tried to resist with courtesy and integrity, but it was useless, and finally sat by the bath and let him give her shampoo.

    "Husband." She reminded him kindly, "This work is always done by maids."

    Pour the warm water down and watch the three thousand silks pour out like a waterfall. "How can the maid know how to appreciate this beauty?"

    There are only two pieces of white mist in the bathtub, what is there to reward and not reward? Hua Yue wanted to give him a blank look, but suddenly realized what he was talking about.

    “…”

& nbsp;

    The people on the bank were half-kneeling on the black marble, stared at the water where their heads were not exposed for a while, and suddenly laughed: "Don't hold back."

    Hua Yue is an uncomfortable feeling. It's uncomfortable to hold in the water, but she feels embarrassed when she goes up. She would rather hold back for a while.

    From childhood to adulthood, who would dare to treat her like this? People in the palace often say that she has a quirky temper and is not easy to get along with.

    The days are long, and Huayue really feels like a heartless freak.

    As a result, now, she was hooked up with emotions and desires by an even stranger.

    Li Jingyun really did what she said, what Shen Zhiluo didn't teach her, he taught everything. Not only teach it once, but also take her to review it again.

    

    It's only a few days, or-

    Forget it, it's only been a few days anyway.

    A sullen breath made a bubble in the pool, Huayue opened her eyes and watched it rise to the surface, and planned to follow it to take a breath.

    As a result, before she got up, there was a sudden sound of water next to her.

    Someone followed her into the water, and a broad hand ran through her arm to fish.

    Brightness in front of her eyes, Huayue spat and narrowed her eyes slightly.

& nbsp; He wiped it on her face, "If you were someone else, just like you, you've already been driven out of the house, and you still want to be the madam."

    Hua Yue hid twice, frowned and said, "Why do you suddenly want to stand upright? My concubine is not a person who is afraid of grievances, she is used to being a maid. , you don't have to have a good title to live."

    Li Jingyun hummed: "I am happy."

    Looking at him with a complicated look, she couldn't help but whisper: "You really don't need to spoil your concubine so much."

    She is used to smack her nose and face, whoever spoils her will make her easy to be lawless and strict with her, but she can be calm and self-controlled.

    In the current situation, lawlessness is not a good thing.

    There seemed to be a hint of shame on his face, but it was fleeting: "Which eye do you see that Lord spoils you? This is just what Lord's people should have. Pretend, last time you went to Zhou Hemin's birthday banquet, didn't you still suffer grievances, Lord will find a place for you."

    Last birthday party? Hua Yue thought for a while and wondered, "How did you know that?"

    "What Mrs. Xu Changyi said."

    Ming Shu, Hua Yue nodded, she still kept the peanut cake she gave her last time, she is indeed a good person.

    The water was a little cold, Li Jingyun washed her and took her back to the east courtyard. Accidentally, her waist bumped into the open wooden drawer in the bed, causing her to let out an "um" in pain.

    Li Jingyun heard the sound and looked back, slightly angry: "Can't you look at it?"

    She felt wronged: "Who knows how this thing is on."

    Looking up at the drawer, Li Jingyun was startled, and then his face changed.

    The drawer was hidden deep, and it was locked, but now it is open and the inside is clean.

    The pile of things wrapped in yellow brocade was gone.

    Hua Yue saw that his expression was not right, she stared at the drawer for a while, and then she came to her senses: "Here, the ones that are placed here are still the ones from before?"

    "No." Li Jingyun lowered his eyes and his expression quickly returned to normal.

    He took a handkerchief to wipe her hair, and said nonchalantly: "Before those things were elsewhere, and I changed the banknotes inside."

    He was relieved, Huayue hurriedly looked at the rest of the cabinets in the room, and found that only the drawer in the bed was passive, so she couldn't help but pouted: "I really know how to steal. , know where the money is."

    "You go to sleep first." He hummed, "Yinzi Ye won't take this to heart, so I'll let someone report to the official tomorrow."

    "Okay." Huayue herself was also sleepy, yawned heavily, and gradually fell asleep against the pillow.

    Li Jingyun stood by her bed for a while, until she was breathing long and evenly, and then quietly withdrew.

    There was a happy event in the house, Su Miao did not rush back to Yongqing Temple, and even left Shen Zhiluo in the guest room. Some of the guests who came from afar today also lived in the mansion, so it was decent, but... Li Jingyun didn't know why Su Miao was standing outside Shen Zhiluo's guest room.

    "What?"

    Su Miao rolled her eyes at him: "Zhiluo is drunk, has been making a fuss, and just rested. I am also a wife who has never been in the house, Shouldn't you come and see?"

    's eyes flickered slightly, Li Jingyun asked, "You have been guarding by his side?"

    "Yeah."

    "He didn't talk to anyone alone?"

    "No, just drinking."

    Su Miao looked at her cousin and felt that something was wrong: "Why are you here?"

    "Something happened in the east courtyard." Li Jingyun pondered, "I thought it was Shen Zhiluo's sudden thoughts, but now I look at him, but I'm wrong to blame him. "

    Su Miao was stunned when she heard this, and then she was a little angry: "Why do you suspect him when something happens, he is not a bad person."

    Li Jingyun looked at her silently.

    In the calm line of sight, Su Miao finally weakened her tone: "Although the positions are different, sometimes conflicts are inevitable, but they are not related to the bad, tonight is over I'll go back to the temple with him."

    "If there is anything wrong, you must remember to tell me." Li Jingyun told her, "Don't hide it, it will only hurt him."

    Su Miao nodded, not to mention, she has always trusted her cousin when it comes to thinking.

    Li Jingyun checked the guest list and asked the servants in the east courtyard, but found nothing. Obviously, this thing cannot be looked for as a real reporter, and he is curious now , who stole that package, and what would it be used for?

    Flower Moon slept sweetly, not knowing what happened.

    The moon is bright, and it is a dream.

    In the next few days, a couple in the east courtyard were like glue, and they basically never left the main house.

    Hua Yue really wanted to get angry, this person is really outrageous, how can there be such a... such a shameless person, full of bedside affairs, she couldn't resist .

    But the third son is really good at coaxing people. Seeing that she is unhappy, he will take her to see the gathering in Jinghua. Whenever she frowns, she can get him Half a day of thinking, clothes, jewelry, pampering, she has everything, how can she really get angry?

    It's still the same sentence, it's been a few days anyway, just be patient.

    The beginning of June is when Lee Kyung Yoon will take office.

    A light rain fell in Jinghua, Huayue stared at the rain curtain falling from the eaves outside, and sighed long.

    Shuang asked her in a low voice, "Are you reluctant to give up the third son?"

    "No." She replied, "The relatives who have been there for more than ten years are willing to give up, what is the love these days."

    That said, when she was packing her clothes in the room at night, she still couldn't smile.

    Li Jingyun came in from the door and picked her up with her clothes without looking at it: "It's raining so hard outside, why are you still stepping on the ground with your bare feet on the ground? ."

    Hua Yue looked up at him, suddenly tossed her clothes and hooked his hands around his neck.

    "Husband." She called softly as he taught her.

    Holding her hand froze, Li Jingyun's eyes swept down, his throat moved slightly: "Huh?"

    She seemed to have nothing to say, just hugged him and stared at him without blinking.

    Li Jingyun chuckled, sat down with her on the soft couch, and said in a low voice, "You haven't eaten much in the past two days, and you didn't sleep well last night. , but what's on your mind?"

    Hua Yue shook her head, thought about it, got up and brought a box over.

    Li Jingyun recognized the box, but he couldn't show any flaws. Even if he laughed wildly, he could only ask curiously, "What is this?"

    "I saw it on the street a few days ago and thought it looked good, so I bought it back." She said vaguely, opened the box, and took out the pair of silver wires. Boots embroidered with animal patterns, "Do you like it?"

    He has always been picky about clothes, and the blue carp snow brocade robe with excellent workmanship will be disgusted by him, not to mention her craftsmanship is not very good Good brocade boots.

    However, after waiting for a while, she did not wait for this person's sarcasm.

    Looking up suspiciously, Huayue saw the man in front of him leaning on the soft pillow, looking at the boots in her arms, her fist against the corner of her mouth, eyes full of smile.

    “Like it,” he said.

    Hua Yue was surprised, she turned over a stitch that was not well received and showed him: "Slightly flawed, not very valuable."

    "Yeah." He smiled even more.

    Looking at him suspiciously, Hua Yuequan thought he liked the pattern of the boots, so he wanted to take them and put them in his luggage.

    As soon as she stretched out her hand, the man quickly pressed her hand down: "Just put it here."

    "Put it here?"

    Li Jingyun nodded seriously, took her hand away, and stared at it happily with her chin supported. After seeing it, I felt that it was not enough, so I got up and placed it in the middle of the Bogu frame.

    Flower Moon: "…"

    "You let go." He squinted.

    She was dumbfounded: "It's the concubine's words, how can I put my boots here!"

     "Master's house, Master's boots, where do you like to put them?" After brushing the ashes, put it back solemnly.

    I was about to put a censer in front of me, burn incense sooner or later and kowtow.

    Is it not!

    Huayue held her forehead: "The boots are for wearing, you are leaving tomorrow, what are you doing in the house?"

    "That's what you don't understand." Li Jingyun said mysteriously, "Daliang has a saying that newly bought boots can be used as a half if they are placed on the shelf. Revered Bodhisattva, if you worship sincerely, you will be able to achieve what you want. Anyway, you can visit once after the Lord takes office. At that time, the boots are not new, you can bring them to the Lord. "

    He said it very seriously, and there was no hint of teasing in his eyes, which made Huayue want to scold him for nonsense.

    Isn't this really just a joke? She looked at Bo Gujia suspiciously, and then at Li Jingyun.

    Lee Kyung-yoon stood reverently with eyes full of reverence, without the slightest hint of amusing.

    Hesitantly retracted her gaze, Huayue thought, the customs of Daliang have nothing to do with her, she can't do something stupid like worshiping boots anyway.

    It rained all night, and the next morning there was a cool mist outside.

    Li Jingyun bid farewell to her parents to go to office. Before leaving, he pulled her and asked in a low voice, "Why aren't you sad?"

     Huayue crossed hands and smiled at him: "My concubine is also very sad, husband be careful."

    Glancing at her with dissatisfaction, Li Jingyun got in the car and left, the wheels squeaked, ran over the uneven bluestone slab, all the way to the palace go to the door.

     Mrs. Zhuang was sobbing, the maid and the maid were comforting in a low voice.

    Kayue looked at the two ruts on the ground and couldn't tell what she was feeling.

    Xu Shi expected this day early in the morning. It is impossible to cry like Zhuang, but it is also a relationship with Li Jingyun. Years, I don't know when it will be goodbye.

    But it's okay, she can accompany the lady for a long time, no one will be angry with the lady again, and no one will ask her to help the general every day; no Someone will buy her snacks from the market, and no one will tease her to make her face red.

    She told Frostfall that she would move back to the main courtyard in two days.

    As for why it took two days, Frostfall did not ask, nor did she say.

    She is the only master left in the huge east courtyard, and she can't hear any noise in daily life, but Huayue feels at ease, clearing the accounts every day, feeding the white deer , and then accompany the lady to talk, life is not impossible.

    However, she seems to be starting to sleep poorly again, and wakes up within two hours, then puts on her clothes and gets up, lights the lamp to check the accounts, and just passes the hours until dawn .

    According to his previous arrangement, Chaofeng came to the house to accompany her on the second day, Huayue brought her snacks, sat on the soft couch and said: "It's not a big deal. The women in the back house, who don't come over day by day."

    Chao Feng chuckled lightly: "You are more open than anyone else, the third master spoiled you so much before, but now you are the only one left in the yard, and you are not alone. Feel uncomfortable?"

    "No." Hua Yue smiled, "He was overthinking."

    In the past, it might have been a delicate flower, but now many things have passed, and no matter how beautiful the flower is, she will not still think of relying on people to live, one more person and one less person, not much differences.

    It's just that Zhuang Shi was really sad, Hua Yue coaxed her in a different way, and she didn't cheer up until she lied that she had a child in her stomach.

    It's only been a few days, it's impossible to have a child in her stomach, but Wen Guzhi helped her to lie, and she helped her to be dutiful, not to mention Mrs. , even she almost believed his nonsense.

    So the lady was very careful with her, as long as she went to the main courtyard, the lady must be happy.

    This is also very good, Huayue thought.

    Something happened in the middle of the court. On the day of the sacrifice of hundreds of officials, someone tried to assassinate the prime minister of the dynasty, but was captured by the imperial guards and involved several ministers. When Hua Yue heard the wind, she had someone bring a letter to Feng Zixi, telling him not to act rashly.

    In the end, Yin Ru came to send a message and asked her to help save Zheng Yu who was in prison, saying that she was already the wife of the general, and she could have some connections.

    Zheng Yu was also a minister of Wei, and now he is a minor official in the Liang Dynasty. He was implicated in the assassination of the prime minister and was also in prison.

    Hua Yue thought it was funny, couldn't help, didn't help.

    She and them have long been different, why does Yin Ru think she should be dispatched by them?

    Yin Ru scolded her as a wolf-hearted, her former wet nurse in the West Palace, dressed in silk and satin, stood in front of her and pointed at her nose, scolding: "There is no big Wei The royal family, where did you come from, you don’t know the slightest bit of affection, raising a dog is better than wagging your tail!”

    Hua Yue didn't feel angry, but rather distracted.

    She went to the west side gate, Wang Fu obediently nestled in the corner, wagging her tail happily at her.

    "Why do you think I look like you?" Hua Yue touched Wang Fu's ear suspiciously.

    Wang Fu couldn't understand, just stuck her tongue out at her.

    Huayue fed it, got up and went back to the east courtyard.

    ***

    Shen Zhiluo was recalled to Jinghua. He did not return to the East Palace, but moved to the altar to live there. Zhou Heshuo ran to him for several days in a row. happiness.

    Su Miao looked curious: "What happened to the DPRK?"

    Draped in a robe, Shen Zhiluo coughed twice: "What can be the matter? Some people want to attack Kang Zhenzhong, but they accidentally stabbed him to be the Prime Minister of the Dynasty. I am quite worried about the fact that the guards of the East Palace have been lacking talents for a long time, and this incident happened under the watchful eyes of the guards of the East Palace, so His Majesty asked the prince to rectify the guards and select talents."

    Su Miao blinked: "This is a good thing, why is the prince not happy?"

    Only her brain would think it was a good thing, Shen Zhiluo shook his head. After Xue Ji died, there was no one to replace the guard commander. The prince wanted to train his own person to sit in this position, but there was no one to choose. If the emperor asked him to pick, the person who picked it would not necessarily be under his orders.

    But there are advantages, that is, the prince can go to inspect the imperial army, which is under the power of the middle palace, the emperor speaks, but the middle palace does not dare to stop.

    Zhou Heshuo came over and over again, just to ask him what to do.

    Evidently he had lost more than half of his trust, but he would still come to him when he panicked. Shen Zhiluo shook his head with mockery in his eyes.

    "Ah, I asked you something, why did you show this look again without answering?"

    Shen Zhiluo returned to his senses and said displeasedly, "Didn't your cousin tell you everything? Ask him."

    "He doesn't have time to tell me this." Su Miao curled her lips, rolled her eyes, suddenly hugged his arm and asked, "Isn't the imperial examination in the middle? What? How's it going?"

    Brows jumped, Shen Zhiluo knocked on the tea table in front of him: "Miss Su, the third son sent you to live with me to ask for news, it's already unsatisfactory. Rules, can you cover up properly when you inquire about news, don't ask so confidently?"

    The long fox eyes narrowed, Su Miao pinched him impatiently: "Where are so many twists and turns, I want to know, you Tell me."

    “…”

    Someone's house is a spy, and this is a bandit next to him?

    Shen Zhiluo sighed and coughed again: "Daliang is full of talents, and scientific examinations are naturally heroic, but your Majesty took bribes before last year's top three entrance examinations. The matter is quite apprehensive, and there will be no news to disclose before the list is released."

    Su Miao regretfully retracted her arms and supported her chin: "You can't figure it out?"

    Two blue veins protruded on her forehead, Shen Zhiluo gritted her teeth and reminded her: "Miss Su, I'm a fortune teller, not a fortune teller on the street."

    "Oh." She nodded, seeing him coughing badly, slightly displeased, "let you go to bed early, what constellations are you watching every day, it's better People who tell fortunes on the street can get a good night’s sleep.”

    Shen Zhiluo don't start, she's too lazy to care about her.

    "I'll stay with you tonight." Su Miao suddenly clenched her fists, "The husband and wife have to be in the same forest, although the ceremony is not over yet, but it is this month's It's okay, it's not a big problem to go to the same forest in advance."

    The man in front of him sneered: "You can't stand it."

    "Who do you underestimate?" She akimbo, her flaming sleeves almost slammed into his face, "I'll show you tonight!"

    

    The fire lay on his shoulder and fell asleep just after the fruit.

    Shen Zhiluo pinched the compass and looked at the sky full of stars. Hearing her muttering, he shook his head helplessly.

    A woman's words cannot be trusted, especially the one around him.

    "Sir." Xing Nu came over, glanced at Su Miao, and said in a very soft voice, "How long do we have to stay at the altar?"

    "What?" he asked, "Is there something in the palace?"

    "No, the slave is only worried about your body." Xingnu took a cloak for him and whispered, "The altar is deserted and the humidity is heavy, where is it? Compared to the East Palace, you live here and you always have a cough."

    The head of the person on the shoulder slipped, Shen Zhiluo responded very quickly and reached out to catch it, and slowly put it back.

    Looking from the side, this man slept like a pig and couldn't wake up.

    A smile flashed across her eyes, Shen Zhiluo turned her head to look at Xingnu and said, "It's okay, it's not peaceful in the palace."

    Is it not peaceful in the palace, or is the palace guarded so tightly that Miss Su is not allowed to come and go at will?

    Xingnu wanted to ask and stop, but shut up and stepped back.

    Shen Zhiluo continued stargazing, her purple pupils shining brightly.

    The next afternoon, when he woke up, he saw a man sitting beside the bed.

    "I want to go back for a few days." Su Miao was black at the moment, and yawned and said to him, "The wedding is coming soon, there are many rules to learn. , and my cousin ordered me to accompany my sister-in-law more before he left."

    's eyes drooped, Shen Zhiluo brushed her away to wash up, and muttered: "You didn't ask me if I wanted it when you came, and you don't have to ask when you left. ."

    Su Miao giggled: "I'm not afraid that you will be reluctant?"

    "No." He wiped his face and looked out, "It doesn't matter."
