All the Gold and Jade: Princess Consort

Chapter 44: Invitation from the princess [Can't the son-in-law? 】

"Princess Qi, the son-in-law has opened the gift and read the letter written by you."

With a cold face, Yongyan was sitting on the main seat in the main hall, listening to Liuying's report.

When Liuying said this, she kept observing Yongyan's face, and saw the corners of the princess's lips twitch slightly, and the tense atmosphere around her finally eased a little.

Yongyan asked: "How did the son-in-law react?"

"Back to the princess, the son-in-law seems to be..." Liuying deliberately looked embarrassed.

Yongyan paused for a moment, but his face was calm but he lost his sense of proportion in his heart, he hurriedly asked, "How?"

Liu Ying burst out laughing: "The servant came to report that the son-in-law seemed very happy after reading the letter, and he looked like a baby in his arms."

After hearing Liuying's words, Yongyan's heart was hanging, and finally fell to the ground.

When writing a love letter for the first time, it is inevitable that I will feel uneasy.

However, if you are born once and familiar with it twice, you will probably be more proficient next time.

Yongyan said: "Liuying..."

Liuying bowed her head: "The servant is here, princess, please give me your orders."

Yong Yan put the little jade fan he was playing with on the mahogany table, and ordered: "Send someone to call the son-in-law."

Liu Ying covered her mouth, looked at the increasingly dark sky outside the door, and couldn't help asking: "What time?"

Yongyan raised his eyebrows and didn't speak again.

Liu Ying covered her mouth, afraid that she would blurt out the next sentence "Princess wants to stay the son-in-law for the night", so she quickly saluted and said, "Your maidservant will do it right away!"

On the other side of the princess mansion, Xu Heng just stuffed the love letter that made her teary eyes back into the delicate wooden box.Of course she didn't go to Yongyan right away, she felt that as a girl, she should be more proud and more reserved.

Furthermore, Yongyan just wrote her a love letter, that's right, it's just a love letter plus some small gifts, and she's not a young girl with a spring heart, so she deserves to be coaxed like that Just get close to others.

Xu Heng pressed his little thumping heart, thinking, it's just a love letter...it's not something important.

don't go!Absolutely not!

So she finally got a big appetite and took the initiative to order the kitchen to cook, because she was angry for too long, and finally felt hungry on her own initiative.

The serving girls wept with joy, the son-in-law was finally willing to take the initiative to eat, which surprised them so much.As long as the son-in-law doesn't quarrel with the princess anymore, their lives will be saved for the time being.

The food came out quickly. Xu Heng drank a bowl of sour plum juice in advance. Once his appetite was whetted, he ate a bowl and a half of rice, and then he ate a whole chicken leg. The big white and yellow chicken leg was first fried and then steamed. The lightness is just right, and the soup mixed with it is also full of flavor. At the end, I ordered a few drops of sesame oil and garnished with shallots, which is not greasy at all.

She ate a chicken leg and felt it wasn't enough, picked up another one and put it in a bowl, mashed it with chopsticks and ate half a bowl of rice, and then burped while clutching her stomach.

As soon as the stone in Xu Heng's heart fell, her mood improved, and her appetite improved as soon as she was in a better mood.

Xu Heng's mood and appetite are always complementary and can automatically achieve a virtuous circle.

Xu Heng ate a few sesame honey dumplings, and felt that the red bean paste filling inside was extra sweet, and every bite could be sweet to the heart.

The sky has already darkened unconsciously, a few sparse stars are scattered around the bright moon, the shadows of the branches falling on the ground are clearly visible, new buds have sprouted on the branches, and the atmosphere of spring is everywhere in the air.

Seeing that she was full, the little girl reminded her tremblingly from the sidelines, carefully choosing her words, fearing that her words would hurt her self-esteem if she spoke too nakedly: "My lord, the princess sent a message from the princess to ask you, Do you want to go over tonight..."

Although she spoke carefully, Xu Heng was taken aback. She opened her mouth, feeling a little confused and unable to react.

Xu Heng blushed: "Uh, the princess... has someone come from the princess's side? It's so fast."

"Yes, Prince Consort, are you going?"

"..." Uh, how should she answer this kind of question? ?

At this time, the night wind passed through the house, and the wind outside the window was blowing in with the breath of soil, which was a little cool. Xu Heng took a deep breath, feeling that his mind was finally cleared up.

The little girl who hung her head and waited for Xu Heng's reply waited for a long time, but she couldn't wait for Xu Heng's answer, so she couldn't help but raised her head and asked again, this time the question was more direct than the last time: "The son-in-law is going tonight Do you want to spend the night with the princess? The servant is ready to go back to the steward and let him take care of everything in advance."

Xu Heng couldn't avoid it, pointing his index finger at the little girl: "You..."

"Huh? Prince Consort, just tell me."

Xu Heng withdrew his hand, patted his small chest, took a few breaths, and then said, "Let me take it easy..."

"..."

Now it was the little girl's turn to be confused, the princess took the initiative to ask the son-in-law to spend the night, why did the son-in-law need to slow down?Is it true that the concubine can't do what the servants say?

This news exploded in the little girl's mind in an instant, undoubtedly confirming some kind of ambiguous guess...

So in the eyes of the little girl who said "it is so", I saw the son-in-law holding the small wooden box sent by the princess, and went back to his room as if fleeing, and shut it tightly with a "clang". .

The little girl quickly ran to the steward Yongyan sent, and said truthfully: "My son-in-law said that she needs to slow down."

Guan was taken aback for a moment, and asked back, "Is the son-in-law not in good health?"

"I don't know." The little girl shook her head, but she didn't dare to answer, but she muttered in her heart: Isn't it always bad?

The steward had no choice but to go back angrily. This time, no one was invited. I don’t know how the princess should blame her, but the son-in-law suddenly contracted an illness today, so it’s good to report the truth and ask the imperial doctor. The princess can’t blame herself...

Thinking of this, the steward sighed and walked away.

Xu Heng went back to the room, took off his boots and stuffed himself under the quilt, then got out when he felt too hot, and rolled back and forth on the bed a few times.

Ahhhhhhhhh why did the princess ask me to spend the night! ! !
