Seventeen, the waist is so thick
Zhou Xuan is a modern person's thinking, it doesn't matter if she is pregnant before marriage, but for the people of the Tang Dynasty, especially in the Tang Dynasty's palace, it would be a huge scandal for an unmarried princess to be fucked by someone. Fortunately, Princess Qingle wanted to marry Zhou Xuan. Otherwise, as Princess Qingle's personal female official, Feng Ajian's crime of dereliction of duty would have been sentenced to death by Bai Ling.
Feng Ajian said nervously: "Duke, please find a way. You must marry the princess before the New Year."
Zhou Xuan said: "It's not very certain whether he is really pregnant. It's hard to say whether the Empress is there."
Feng Ajian said anxiously: "No matter what, you always get married early and get a stable relationship. If the princess' belly is so big, it will not be concealed. Moreover, if this matter is leaked, it will have a great impact on the princess and the prince's reputation."
Zhou Xuan was furious and nodded, "Okay, I'll ask Qin Que to take a pulse for the princess again. If the princess is really pregnant, I will tell the Queen to the truth and try to make the Queen scold her."
Zhou Xuan called Qin Que and said, "Since Feng Ajian said that, then you are sure. No need to take your pulse. Husband quickly find a way."
Feng Ajian reminded Zhou Xuan a few words, and then took a little palace maid back to the palace first.
Qin Que looked at Zhou Xuan with a smile and half teasing, and said, "Husband, think of a solution. After the New Year, the princess' belly will be significantly bigger, and the delivery time is too short to get married will make people criticized. If you get married next month, premature delivery in July is reasonable."
Zhou Xuan's face turned red, and he looked at the clouds in the sky. It was already Shenchu time. It was not convenient to go into the palace to meet Xiao Zhou. Let's talk about it tomorrow, so he went out to drink with Lin Heishan. Judge Fan continued to drink. Speaking of the things needed to marry Lin Hanyun, Judge Fan said: "This is not something that the Duke needs to worry about. The lower official brought 20,000 taels of silver this time, and all the things are handled by the Protectorate's Office."
Zhou Xuan knew that Lin Dai believed that although he had reached a high position, his foundation was shallow and he had no land. He would probably have to be short of money to support the expenses of Zhou's mansion with the salary of Duke and Jixian Hall. If he married the daughter of a lady of a Protectorate, the money would be like a flowing water. He was afraid that Zhou Xuan would not be able to afford so much money, so he asked Judge Fan to bring 20,000 taels of silver to Beijing. One was to arrange a new house for the Duke's mansion "Bongque Pavilion" after marrying Zhou Xuan. Lin Hanyun designated that he would live in the "Bongque Pavilion" after marrying Zhou Xuan. The last time their sisters lived here, and they bought all the new items; the other was to buy wedding items. There were many shops in Jinling and Guangling, unlike Jiangzhou, and they had no place to spend money if they wanted to do it.
Zhou Xuan said: "How can all the money be paid by the Protectorate? This way, Miss Hanyun likes the fun, so this time it will be very lively. I will also pay 20,000 taels of silver here, and all the things needed are purchased in the two capitals."
Judge Fan said in surprise: "The country's public sales are large, so keep the money. Miss Second will live in Beijing in the future."
Zhou Xuan said: "Mr. Fan doesn't have to worry about money, I have the right to make money."
Zhou Xuan returned from Nanhan this time, in addition to the rare treasures given by Chen Yanshou and others, there were more than 10,000 taels of gold, equivalent to 100,000 taels of silver, which was enough to squander. The day before yesterday, Emperor Li Yu rewarded him with another 500 taels of gold and 2,000 pieces of silk.
He hurriedly agreed on the purchase of the goods, and Judge Fan decided to go to Guangling to purchase them tomorrow. Wang Shizhang learned that Duke Zhou and the governor of Fenghua were going to get married, so he was not willing to fall behind. He personally accompanied Judge Fan to Guangling. As long as the goods purchased by Judge Fan were owned by his Wang store, they would be sold and half-given. This time he saved at least two or three thousand taels of silver.
That night, the north wind was howling and the temperature dropped sharply. Early in the morning of November 16, Zhou Xuan was still lying high with Qin Que, and he heard Xiaodi in the yard cheering: "Oh—oh—It's snowing, brother-in-law, sister, get up and watch the snow, it's so thick."
Zhou Xuan and Qin Que both woke up. Zhou Xuan played with Qin Que Ruliang Ruo's chest with big hands and asked, "Did Xiaodi hire a teacher? Oh, not yet. After that year, I found a bachelor's degree in Jixian Palace to teach him. Xiaodi is eight years old and it's time to enlighten him."
Qin Que pressed his face against Zhou Xuan's chest and rubbed it together, "Husband, Xiao Zhiruo is two months old, and Princess Qingle, who has not passed by, is also pregnant. Why haven't I moved yet?"
Zhou Xuan said: "I will continue to work hard on this."
Qin Que'er's face was red and said, "Actually, I know when I'm prone to conception-"
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Okay, I will spend all day with you in those days. Hehe, Que'er is also anxious."
Qin Que buried his face in Zhou Xuan's arms and laughed and said, "I'm not in a hurry. My mother is in a hurry. She asked me in the letter."
Zhou Xuan said: "I will return to Jiangzhou in the first month of next year and bring her two old men to Beijing. They have never seen Zhiruo before."
Xiaodi in the yard screamed louder and louder. Seeing that his brother-in-law and his sister had not yet got up, she came to slap the door. Xiaomei and Xiaoqian, who were sleeping in the wing outside, opened the door.
Xiao Xun lowered his voice and said, "Master Xiaodi, don't quarrel with your brother-in-law. My sister is sleeping. The little county lord Zhiruo hasn't woken up yet."
Xiaodi said, "Zhiruo wakes up and is crying."
Zhou Xuan came out wearing his clothes and saw a piece of white under the stairs below the door. It was snowing in the middle of the night and it had accumulated a few inches of thick.
Zhou Xuanxi said: "It's so heavy snow, Xiaodi, my brother-in-law will take you to build a snowman." After washing up quickly, he took Xiaodi's hand to the yard and saw several servants sweeping the snow. He quickly said: "No need to sweep, no need to sweep, just sweep the corridor in front of the yard. We want to play with the snow here."
There is a large hibiscus tree in the "Hirong Garden". At this time, the snow is covered with white and the jade trees are beautiful.
Yang Xiaopin also got up, stood in the corridor and watched Zhou Xuan and Xiaodi rolling snowballs quietly. Their eyes were as dark as vaguely painted and cut water.
Zhou Xuan greeted, "Pin'er, don't be afraid of the cold, come and play together." He pinched a small snow ball and threw it gently, hitting Yang Xiaofen's bulging chest and couldn't help laughing.
The white cheeks turned red. When she walked to the snow with her skirt, she also pinched a small snow ball and threw Zhou Xuan. She accidentally slipped under her feet and sat down on the snow.
Zhou Xuan hurried over to help her and said, "I'll ask the carpenter to make a sled later and go to the Cuju field in the backyard to ski."
A few little girls also came to snowball together. After a while, they piled up seven or eight snowmen, standing under the lotus tree, with different heights and sizes. Xiaodi clapped and shouted happily.
The sewing needle opened the door and came out. Behind him was Ying Cainu who was holding Xiao Zhiruo. Ying Cainu loved Xiao Zhiruo very much and she usually took care of her.
Xiaodi shouted, "Xiao Zhiruo, is this snowman good looking at my uncle?"
Lenzi responded with a smile: "It looks good! When it snows next year, Zhiruo can play with Xiaodi. Xiaodi is not allowed to bully Zhiruo."
Xiaodi said: "Xiaodi is my uncle, how could he bully Zhiruo!"
There was a lot of laughter in the "Furong Garden".
At the beginning of the Chen Shi, Zhou Xuan rushed to Jingxu Palace under the escort of Sanchi. Princess Qingle was commanding Fangcha and other palace maids to build snowmen under the rose in front of the Yudian Hall. Seeing Zhou Xuan coming so early, she was overjoyed and ran over on the snow.
Zhou Xuan shouted: "Don't run, stand and don't move!" The loud voice scared Princess Qingle, and she pouted and became unhappy.
Zhou Xuan smiled and nodded at Feng Ajian on the side, walked over to Princess Qingle and said, "I'm afraid you will fall." He stared at Princess Qingle's abdomen, reached out to help her marten coat close up, and said, "Huozhu, I have something to say to you, let's walk around this ring corridor."
Princess Qingle said happily: "Okay." Holding Zhou Xuan's arms, the two walked slowly along the corridor surrounding the Yudian Hall.
Zhou Xuan asked: "Huzhu, have you felt uncomfortable somewhere in the past few days?"
Princess Qingle said: "No, it's very comfortable. Yesterday, it was more comfortable with Cousin Xuan."
Zhou Xuan said with a "uh" and said, "I'm afraid I can't do that anymore during this period--"
"Why?" Princess Qingle was just having fun and stopped obeying, "I'm afraid my mother blames you? Anyway, my mother already knows that I've had sex with you."
Zhou Xuan was speechless and said for a while: "Do you know that you may be pregnant?"
Princess Qingle was stunned now and couldn't speak for a long time.
Zhou Xuan leaned against the hall pillar, put his hands on Princess Qingle's waist, and whispered: "It's good, you can marry me early."
Zhou Xuan originally thought that Princess Qingle was afraid that she would become ugly before she knew that she was pregnant, but Princess Qingle said, "When you are pregnant, wouldn't it be that your waist is so thick and your face is spotty, like the last time you sew a needle, it looks so ugly."
Zhou Xuan glared at her and threatened, "Don't worry about whether it looks good or not. Think about it when you get married next year, what kind of criticism will be there between the government and the country?"
After saying this, Princess Qingle was a little scared and asked, "What should I do? Cousin Xuan quickly find a solution."
Zhou Xuan said: "What's the point of thinking about this? I'm going to ask the Queen to let us get married before the New Year."
Princess Qingle immediately realized that she was embarrassed and said, "Cousin Xuan, go and tell my mother, "I am a girl's house, so why can I talk about this? I am so embarrassed."
Zhou Xuan said: "Then let's go together. I said to my aunt, just cheer on the side. Now it's a few days before the Chinese New Year, so hurry up."
Zhou Xuan and Princess Qingle each took a palace car to Huayou Xianghui Tower of Daxing Palace. The wheels were crushing ice and snow. Following several eunuchs on the street next to the car, the palace maids were stumbled.
When I arrived downstairs of Huaye Xianghui, I met Xiao Zhouhou who returned from a horse. He was so beautiful and radiant that he was so handsome that he asked Zhou Xuan and Princess Qingle to wait. After about two quarters of an hour, he came out. He had already bathed and walked, the fragrance was pleasant.
Princess Qingle is shy and doesn't speak much.
Zhou Xuanxian presented the second manuscript of "Hua'elou Zhiyi" and said, "This is when my nephew returned from the Southern Han Dynasty, he had time on the boat and wrote thirty-seven articles. The words were crude. Please ask my aunt and lady to be elegant and upright."
Xiao Zhouhou smiled and said, "It's great. I heard that the volume of "Hua'e Lou's Ambition" is popular in both capitals, and even the paper in Jinling is expensive. Xuan's nephew is a talented man. My second aunt wants to take a look at this volume." She glanced at Princess Qingle and asked, "Why didn't Huozhu talk? Is there a quarrel with your cousin Xuan?"
Princess Qingle hurriedly said, "No, no—" and glanced at Zhou Xuan, Qiubo was waving and her delicate face was blushing.
Zhou Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "I have something important to report, please ask my aunt to take her back."
Xiao Zhouhou frowned slightly, then stretched out, waved his hand to let the strong men and the female officials withdraw, and then asked, "What's the matter with Nephew Xuan?"
Zhou Xuan knelt down and replied: "Yesterday, Qin Que took the vein for the princess, but the princess was found--"
"What's wrong with the princess?"
"Princess--"
Xiao Zhouhou stood up, feeling shocked and confused. He walked to Zhou Xuan and tried his best to calm down and said, "But it's okay."
Zhou Xuan lowered his head and said, "The princess is pregnant."
Xiao Zhouhou stood still. After a while, he walked back and sat back on the big chair covered with an embroidered cushion. His thoughts were chaotic. She didn't blame Zhou Xuan for having an affair with Princess Qingle. After all, she had a private meeting with her brother-in-law Li Yu in the back garden at the age of fourteen. Li Yu Youque's erotic lyrics in "Bodhisattva Man" were written about the scene at that time - "The flowers and moon are dark and the light fog, and it's better to go to the side of the husband. The socks are on the fragrant steps, and the gold-stringed shoes are in hand. I saw it on the south side of the painting hall, and I always snuggled. It's hard for the slave to come out, so I can teach you to pity you." - Princess Qingle is very maternal, but it's troublesome to get pregnant before marriage.
Princess Qingle stumbled and said, "Mother--"
Xiao Zhou Hou ignored her and asked Zhou Xuan: "How do you plan to cover up if you do something like this?"
Zhou Xuan said: "My nephew will go and prepare to marry the princess."
Xiao Zhou said nothing for a while, and Zhou Xuan and Princess Qingle knelt side by side and did not dare to move.
"Forget it, what else can I do now!" Xiao Zhouhou said helplessly: "Zhou Xuan, hurry up and prepare for the naming of the emperor, ask for the name of the king of Wei, Huozhu, and go with me to see your father."
Since Xiao Zhouhou agreed, things will be easy to handle. From November 18th to 26th, Nacai, asked for names, Naji, Nazheng, and asked for appointments. All five rituals were held in a grand and grand place. When asked for appointments, Sitianjian asked for divination, saying that the 26th of next month is a good day for marriage once in a decade. Therefore, the wedding date of Duke Zhou and Princess Qingle was set on December 26th.
