14. The resentment after Xiao Zhou

Fourteen, Xiao Zhou's resentment

Zhou Xuan was too busy, and some things were vague. Qin Que, Renting Needle and others were bound to ask Zhou Xuan about his trip to the Southern Han Dynasty from Xiaoqian. The little girl was excited. She was already smart and had been with Zhou Xuan for a long time, and her eloquence improved. She spoke in a vivid way. Qin Que and his friends lifted up and let go of their hearts, were both scared and grateful, and they vowed to treat their husbands more gently.

Originally, Xiaoqian would not hide anything in front of Qin Que, but for some reason she did not mention that Zhou Xuan and Princess Qingle had already slept in the same bed. Xiaoqian was intentionally or unintentionally maintaining Zhou Xuan's image. She thought: "It is certain that the son-in-law wants to marry the princess. Why should Xiaoqian chew the tongue? Miss Queer and the others were unhappy."

Of course, Princess Qingle and Zhou Xuan danced and rode a horse together. Princess Qingle told the Empress to marry Zhou Xuan in Jingyang Palace in Guangling. All these things were said, and Xiaoqian also said about Xiahou Liusu.

As early as a month ago, Qin Que learned that Princess Qingle would not marry the Princess of the Southern Han and was going back to Beijing. She felt in her heart that this royal princess was probably going to marry into the Zhou Mansion. Now, when Xiao Xuxiang said this, she couldn't help but feel a little worried. Princess Qingle's bad temper is famous. If she enters the Zhou Mansion, wouldn't it be so noisy?

The needle doesn't matter, so he comforted Qin Que and said, "Sister Queer, don't worry. If she relies on the princess's aphor, we just ignore her. Every courtyard in this house is a single courtyard. What else can she do if we don't interact with her!"

Xiao Xun checked her eyes and said, "According to Xiao Xun's observation, the princess was not arrogant and unreasonable, and it was not very difficult to get along with. The son-in-law said that the princess had a bad temper in the past because she didn't want to marry the prince of Nanhan. Now she wants to marry my son-in-law. The princess is satisfied and has a much better temper."

Renzi smiled and said nothing. Qin Que's heart was slightly sore and said lightly: "That's good. I don't know when my husband married the princess. Isn't it better than Miss Lin Er?"

Renting Needle smiled and said, "Royal decent, how can it be so hasty!"

As he was talking, Zhou Xuan sent Yang Zongbao back and hugged Xiao Zhiruo for a while. Xiao Zhiruo was no longer afraid of him now, and would not cry as soon as he saw him. His eyes were staring at Zhou Xuan in a daze.

Sewing needle teased, "Baby, give dad a smile, be good."

Xiao Zhiruo's chubby round face was expressionless, very serious, with clear and transparent eyes. The child's eyes made people lose all the thoughts-

It was like a pond of quiet water suddenly pouring into a stone. Xiao Zhiruo's chubby little face suddenly showed a smile, her eyes were narrowed, and her face was wrinkled with flesh patterns, which was so cute.

"Oh, baby laughed!"

"Xiao Zhiruo smiled, Xiao Zhiruo smiled at her father."

Everyone cheered.

Zhou Xuan kissed his daughter on the face and asked Qin Que. Renting Needle said, "Do you think your daughter looks like me?"

Qin Que smiled and said, "Xiao Zhiruo is a girl, of course, there are more sisters like Zi Er. Xiao Zhiruo's eyes are so big, and her husband has slender eyes."

Renzhen said, "Don't Zhiruo smiled just now and looked very much like her husband?"

Zhou Xuan nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, I just smile charmingly."

It made Qin Que laugh, the sewing needle and those girls, and the servant lady laughed.

Zhou Xuan remembered that Qi Hong had three other naval generals waiting for his orders, and the formation of the navy could not be delayed, so he led the four of them to the Ministry of War, took the documents and seals, and then went to say goodbye to the East Palace. Li Jian was very excited and personally took Qi Hong and the four of them to Jinghai Construction Courtyard, asking Wang Delin to provide strong assistance. The Navy headquarters was temporarily located in Rugao.

Zhou Xuan naturally didn't go to these tedious things. He was too lazy to care about these tedious things. With Li Jian coming forward, it would be smooth sailing to form a navy. Zhou Qicha wanted to spend more time with his wife and children in the mansion.

However, there is no need to be idle. There are endless visitors every day. Although Zhou Xuan does not have to enter the ministers of the court every day, looking at Jinling, there is no more powerful minister than him. The officials who were originally swaying between King Jing and the Eastern Palace are now also active under Zhou Xuan's sect. They are not talking about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and do not like fighting insects and go. The vulgar face makes Zhou Xuan very annoyed, but in order to attract these people, they are also kind-hearted.

Zhou Xuan took the time to write "The Legend of Hua'e Tower". Now he has accumulated more than 20 articles, and he has compiled a book to present it to Xiao Zhouhou. Xiao Zhouhou has not summoned him to the palace in the past two days. He is a little nervous. He doesn't know what Xiao Zhouhou means. It is estimated that Xiao Zhouhou will kill him first and then play the story of pushing Princess Qingle down. It is normal for Xiao Zhouhou to be a little angry. Now it depends on how to make up for it.

On the afternoon of that day, Zhou Xuan asked someone to invite Wang Shizhang to come overnight and asked him to copy the sub-book and publish the second volume of "Hua'elou Zhiyi" as soon as possible. The manuscript will be returned early tomorrow morning. He will bring it into the palace to present it to Xiao Zhouhou.

Wang Shizhang received the manuscript and said happily: "The Duke of the State has been busy in the past two days, and his subordinates dare not disturb him. There is a small good news to report to the Duke of the State. Volume 1 of "Hua'e Lou Zhiyi" has sold 12,000 copies, and it is popular in both capitals. The price of paper in Jinling and Guangling is very expensive. The Duke of the State is known to everyone."

Zhou Xuan didn't expect that more than 10,000 copies could be sold. These days, there were no more than 100,000 people in the Tang Dynasty who read literacy, almost everyone had one copy. He laughed and said to himself: "It's great, my buddy has also written a bestseller."

Wang Shizhang said: "Ten thousand volumes make a profit of 3,300 taels, and the disciples have ordered people to send them to the office to check."

Zhou Xuan did not give in to him either. Knowing that the salt merchant was rich, he was uneasy if he was really petty with him.

Early in the morning of October 15, the palace sent an eunuch to summon Qin Que to the palace to mobilize Princess Qingle, saying that the princess had not recovered from the typhoid fever so far, so she asked the Qin Imperial Physician Order to treat it.

Zhou Xuan thought to himself: "What's going on? It's been five days since I returned to Beijing. It should have been cured long ago. I'm feeling cold again?" So he put in the book "Hua'e Tower's Ambition" and followed Qin Que to Jingxu Palace, but the guards of Jingxu Palace did not allow Zhou Xuan to go in, saying that this was the Queen's decree.

Qin Que looked at Zhou Xuan and smiled teasingly, saying, "Husband didn't coax the Empress, the first mother-in-law of the Tianzi. My mother didn't like my husband at the beginning at first. It would take a lot of effort to marry the princess."

Zhou Xuan said: "Qi'er, you and Xiaoqian go in. I'll go to Hua'e Xianghuilou to meet my aunt."

Qin Que and Xiao Xun entered Jingxu Palace, Feng Ajian and Yun Ajian came out, and led Qin Que and his servant to go to Princess Qingle's bedroom "Chu Xiu Pavilion".

Fangcha was very happy when he saw Xiaoqian and asked quietly: "Didn't Zhou Jungong come?"

Princess Qingle had heard it inside and asked delicately: "Is it the Imperial Doctor Qin?"

The palace maids leaned on the curtain, Qin Bird and Cennel entered the bedroom, the fire wall was warm, as warm as spring, purple gauze tent, and painted stone beds. The beautiful Princess Qingle leaned against the Qibao pillow, covered with a cluster of flowers and embroidered quilt, her face was pale and red, her eyes were filled with autumn water, and she didn't look sick.

Princess Qingle opened her eyes wide and asked, "Didn't Cousin Xuan come? Cousin Xuan knows that I'm sick and don't come to see me!" When she said the latter, she looked so aggrieved that she was about to shed.

Qin Que is a smart woman with excellent medical skills. He understood at a glance that Princess Qingle was not sick at all. She used this to send a message to Zhou Xuan to come to visit her. She immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness, Princess, my husband followed me to the palace gate, but was blocked by the palace guards and could not enter, so she went to Hua'e Xianghui Tower to see the Empress."

Princess Qingle immediately smiled, lifted the embroidered quilt and got out of bed, ordered Yun Ajian to serve the change of clothes, and she was going to see her mother, Qin Que didn't care about greeting her. How could this beautiful princess who was raised in the deep palace understand any human nature?

Qin Que saw that Princess Qingle was wearing a sable jacket and skirt, and the style was new. She knew that it was written by Zhou Xuan. This was so charming and noble when she wore it on the tall Princess Qingle. Even Qin Que had to admit that Princess Qingle, the number one beauty in the Tang Dynasty, was well-known, but Princess Qingle pretended to be sick and passed on her imperial physician order into the palace. When she heard that Zhou Xuan had gone to Xianghui Tower in Hua'e Tower and was anxious to rush there, which was too unfair to take her seriously.

Qin Que was quite unhappy and said to himself: "I am Zhou Xuan's wife!"

Xiao Xuxiang looked at Qin Que's face and said, "Princess, don't you let my lady go after seeing you for medical treatment?"

Princess Qingle woke up a little and smiled and said, "Don't blame Que'er's cousin sister-in-law. I had a few coughs before, but now I'm getting better - Que'er's cousin sister-in-law should I take my pulse?"

Since the prince was pretending, Qin Que naturally had to cooperate. He put three fingers on Princess Qingle's left wrist. His delicate willow eyebrows suddenly frowned, and his face showed a deep thoughtful look.

"Queer's cousin, what's wrong? Could it be that I'm really sick?" Princess Qingle was nervous. She knew that Qin Que's medical skills were very good.

Qin Que refused to answer, signaling Princess Qingle to change her hand, checking her right hand pulse, lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyebrows, and looked solemn, and Princess Qingle didn't dare to speak.

After a while, Qin Que raised his eyebrows, smiled, and said softly: "It's okay, Your Highness has a good physical condition. Jueyin typhoid fever has been cured. However, don't rush or ride a horse in the near future, don't be too tired. If you have any discomfort, I will immediately report to you for your Highness and don't bother other medical officials."

Princess Qingle was in a hurry to see Zhou Xuan and said, "Thank you, Que'er's cousin's wife, then I'll send her to the palace."

Qin Que said: "No need, I'll go back by myself."

Princess Qingle said, "Okay - Feng Ajian, you will send Que'er's cousin's wife out of the palace on my behalf, and then send a team of Jinwu Guards. No, let Yulin Guard send my cousin's wife back to the house."

When she arrived outside the Yudian Hall, Princess Qingle said goodbye to Qin Que. She took a few people on the palace car and went to Hua'e Xianghui Tower through the corridor connecting Daxing Palace.

Seeing Qin Que staring at Princess Qingle's back for a long time, Xiao Xuxiang said, "What's wrong with Miss Que'er? Your Highness--"

Qin Que hurriedly said, "It's nothing, Your Highness's beautiful shadow is so beautiful - let's go out of the palace now."

Xiao Xun followed Qin Que toward the palace gate and saw Qin Que frowning slightly. Xiao Xun said to herself, "Miss Queer must have something to worry about. What is it? It should be related to Princess Qingle."

At this time, Zhou Xuan, accompanied by Eunuch Bai, went to the Taiye Pool Equestrian Field west of Shanglinyuan. Xiao Zhou Hou was not in Hua'e Xianghui Tower, so he went to the equestrian field to ride a horse early in the morning.

Zhou Xuan came to the equestrian venue he designed, and saw that there was still frost falling from night on the grass blades of the field. The lawn was a little yellow. The shallow stream was dug by artificially and the water was gurgling. The barrier wall stood firm there. A big white horse galloped in the field, with a silk threaded golden saddle. The elegant rider wore a cutting-edge hat, a snow-white trouser tights, and a light blue tight breeches. He rode a horse like lightning in the wind and lightning. He ran very fast. When he encountered a low wall, he flew eight feet high and several feet away. The essence of riding and the beauty of his posture were amazing.

The horse is "Zhaoye Yuhua Conferencing". The horse rider is naturally the little Zhou Hou who loves riding. Xiao Zhou Hou had already seen Zhou Xuan and still controlled the horse to run two laps. Then he stopped several feet in front of Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan quickly bowed and said, "My nephew came to ask my aunt and aunt. It was cold and the ground was cold, but my aunt was still so excited!"

Xiao Zhouhou rode on a high-headed horse and looked down at Zhou Xuan. She had just rode the "Zhaoye Yuhua Cong" for ten laps, which was almost thirty miles. At first, the cold wind blew the face, which was very cold. But after running a few laps, she began to get hot. She had to lift her hips and hold her legs on her horse. It was also a laborious effort to control the reins with both hands. After ten laps, the thick nostrils of "Zhaoye Yuhua Cong" were spraying white air. Xiao Zhouhou was also warm all over, with charming and red cheeks on both sides of her cheeks, clear eyes, and charming temperament. The tight breeches outlined the graceful curves of the waist, hips and thighs, and there was no bloating like a middle-aged woman!

Zhou Xuan lowered his head and saw that Xiao Zhou didn't speak for a long time. He was nervous and knelt down and did not dare to get up.

When Xiao Zhou Hou saw Zhou Xuan as if he was guilty, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Get up, why haven't you come to see your aunt these days? Are you dissatisfied with your aunt?"

Zhou Xuangang stood up, and was shocked and knelt down again and said, "How dare I? I have not received the summons from my aunt and concubine, so I dare not enter the palace."
