Chapter 275 Heart Change
A pair of emperor and his minister, two childhood friends, entered the Cining Palace to see the Empress Dowager. It took Moji a long time to come out. The emperor caught the culprit who angered the Empress Dowager and came to report to him. Xu Junying was good at both soft and hard tactics and listened to the Empress Dowager's scolding with his head down. No matter it was an angry accusation or a heartfelt persuasion, he listened honestly, but in the end he denied it all. The Empress Dowager had good intentions or bad intentions, and said a lot of reasons why he should marry A Yao, but he just didn't respond and firmly refused to marry A Yao as his concubine. The Empress Dowager was so angry that her face changed, but the Emperor sat idly by, drinking tea and eating fruits. Occasionally, under the instructions of the Empress Dowager, he weakly supported his mother, but he couldn't say a few words. No one knew Xu Junying better than him. If this guy made up his mind, he would admit it.
Seeing that the emperor and his ministers had such a tacit understanding, one refused to give in, and the other just watched from the sidelines, the queen mother gradually became depressed and knew that there was no point in talking any more. The emperor said last night that Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion was not an ordinary mansion. The east courtyard of Qinghua Courtyard was Xu Junying's study. He often took some confidential documents home to read and deal with them. That courtyard was equivalent to a military secret place, and guards were arranged. A Yao entered Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion without the owner's permission with a sword and threatened the wife of the marquis. If Xu Junying wanted to seriously argue, this would be a serious crime. The guards could arrest her, but it was good enough that they didn't throw her directly into jail. The queen mother felt that she couldn't get away with it, and insisted that the emperor summon Xu Junying. She was just relying on her age and pretending to be confused to use that excuse to scare Xu Junying, saying that A Yao was frightened and very sick, and wanted him to take responsibility, but Xu Junying didn't buy it and didn't even want to look at A Yao. In desperation, the queen mother had to wave her hand and drive them away angrily.
The two men felt relieved when they came out, and found a quiet place. Ji Qing asked the imperial kitchen to prepare fine wine and delicious food, and sent away the servants, putting aside the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects, sipping slowly, watching the beautiful girls singing and dancing on the steps, and chatting casually. They spent an afternoon before Xu Junying said goodbye and left the palace.
Before he left the palace, he was already drunk and his steps were a little unsteady. He couldn't ride a horse, so Baoju got a carriage for him to ride back to the mansion. But after he closed his eyes in the carriage, his legs went weak when he got out. Baoju and Baizhan carried him back to Tsinghua Courtyard. It was already dark, and Meimei and Heng'er were still waiting for him to have dinner. Xu Junying finally sobered up and said with a smile while embracing his wife and children:
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting... I've had dinner in the palace and I'm a little drunk. I just want to sleep!"
Meimei smelled alcohol on him. Baoju said that he drank with the emperor in the palace. How could two people drink like this without making any noise? She had to help him to the bedside, and asked Cuilian to immediately make a cup of honey water with warm water and teach him to drink it slowly. After drinking, rinse his mouth with warm water, take off his outer robe and let him lean against the head of the bed. Cuixi brought hot water. Meimei wrung out a hot towel to wipe Xu Junying's face and hands, took off his boots and washed his feet carefully, and then helped him lie down and covered him with a quilt. While she was doing this, Heng'er followed and watched, occasionally touching Xu Junying's hand by the bed, and whispering "Father" to the person with closed eyes. Xu Junying was dizzy, and only felt Meimei's hand stroking him, which was indescribably comfortable. He wanted Meimei to sleep with him, but he couldn't say it. His body was relaxed and his consciousness was gradually fading, and he failed to respond to Heng'er's call. Meimei settled him down, looked at his quiet and handsome sleeping face, sighed softly, took Heng'er out, and the mother and son had dinner together.
She guessed that he must be having trouble in the palace today. She knew what happened last night. As early as when Xu Junying did not return to Qinghua Courtyard after entering the mansion and went directly to Jinhua Hall, she sent a maid to inquire about the news. When Xu Junying dragged Wu Ziyao out of Jinhua Hall and stuffed her into the sedan chair, the maid hurried back to Qinghua Courtyard to report.
After Xu Junying came back, she didn't mention it, and she didn't mention it either. Why should she? They were a family, enjoying the warmth and happiness of the family, why did they mention irrelevant people?
During the day, the old lady sent someone to summon her, and she went. Facing the old lady's rebuke, she didn't say anything, nor did she defend herself, but remained silent. Yes, Wu Ziyao didn't do anything radical, she just wanted to show her a few sword dance moves, but so what? She was clearly and nakedly declaring that she questioned whether she was qualified as the wife of the marquis, and threatened to take away her husband. This was something she couldn't tolerate, and she didn't need to tolerate it, but she endured it. She found that since she made up her mind to follow Xu Junying, her biggest improvement was that she had improved her patience. She didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. She endured it here in order not to anger the old lady to death, but Xu Junying did what she wanted to do as soon as he came back, and drove Wu Ziyao out of the house. Of course, she was secretly happy in her heart. Her husband cared about her, loved and protected her. What could be more touching and comfortable than this? In a good mood, she made up her mind to maintain the happiness and stability in front of her. Heng'er needed it, and she also cherished it. What she could do in return to Xu Junying was to care for him more, and be careful to deal with the old lady who was not on good terms with her, so as not to really make her angry to death. Xu Junying said that, but who knows what he would do if something really happened? After all, she was her own grandmother, and anyone who angered her, Cen Meimei's own grandmother, could not be easily forgiven.
Faced with her pretending to be deaf and dumb, the old lady finally fainted again. Meimei knew that she was not fainting from anger. The old lady didn't want to see her again, so she just closed her eyes and fell down to recuperate. Alas, if he hated her so much, why did he find her to make him angry? If she were the old lady, her life would be so beautiful. She could have fun in this prosperous and magnificent mansion. It would be so nice to enjoy her old age happily. Why would she be so hard on her grandson? People live for a lifetime, and plants and trees only last for a few years. If she died of anger, she would miss a few years of prosperity in the world, which is really worth more.
After bathing, Meimei sat alone at the table, watching a warm light, thinking about this and that. Before she knew it, the next day had passed. Just as she was about to go to bed, she saw the pink gauze curtain move, and Xu Junying got up from the bed. She hurriedly supported him and asked, "My husband is feeling better now. Do you want some water?"
Xu Junying smiled at her: "I'm fine, just thirsty."
Meimei poured tea for him, and he drank three cups in a row. Then he went to the bathroom again. Meimei took the cotton slippers and put them on the mahogany footrest. Seeing that he didn't move, she squatted down to put on his shoes. Xu Junying pulled her into his arms and smiled softly, "Meimei, if I ask you to carry me, will you do it?"
"I can't carry you, but I can help you go!"
Xu Junying hugged her tightly, lowered his head and took a deep breath into her neck, and sighed:
"You're so nice to me, you've been waiting till now, just to wait for me to get up and have a cup of tea? Silly Meimei, you're going to spoil me!"
"I do!" Meimei hugged his waist, "You are my husband, you love and protect me, you are my treasure, so I will spoil you!"
Xu Junying's face flushed with excitement and he kissed her: "Meimei, I will love and protect you for the rest of my life. You will never regret marrying me! I am only yours - and you are only mine!"
His hand unexpectedly covered her plump chest. Meimei trembled a little. He gently rubbed it, and a little heart was beating wildly under his palm:
"Meimei, give it to me! I've given you mine, and you must give me yours completely too!"
Meimei leaned in his arms and closed her eyes: "Well, let's exchange, from now on you are me and I am you!"
Xu Junying had said this many times, but it felt so wonderful when Meimei said it. He whispered in her ear, "Then, shall we go in and take a shower?"
"Um... no! I already washed it!"
Meimei twisted her body, and Xu Junying pinched her face: "You say one thing and mean another! You said you are me and I am you, shouldn't we be inseparable? Then come on, keep warm, lie down, cover yourself and wait for your husband... Don't fall asleep!"
"My dear husband, there are two buckets of hot water and two buckets of fragrant soup. You can use whichever you like. The clothes are ready!"
Meimei lay down in the warm bed, watched him walk away with a smile, and closed her eyes and went to sleep.
Xu Junying came back very quickly, and Meimei asked in surprise: "Did you wash?"
The man blew out the light and returned to the bedroom. He took off his clothes, got into the quilt, hugged Meimei, and grabbed her hand to touch his body: "Of course I have washed it, I just moved very quickly, please check it, madam!"
Wherever Meimei's hands touched, they were completely naked: "You are not wearing any clothes!"
Xu Junying smiled evilly and moved his hands all over, and soon took off Meimei's clothes: "My dear Meimei, a night of love is worth a thousand gold, why are you wearing clothes..."
The two naked people hugged each other tightly, kissing passionately, caressing tenderly, like a gentle spring breeze. Meimei's body gradually softened and relaxed, blooming like a flower, and the pistil filled with fragrant dew catered to Xu Junying. Xu Junying's hungry lips lingered between the plump twin peaks on her chest. He thrust his waist forward and forcefully inserted his penis into her smooth and tight vagina. When they were closely connected, they both couldn't help but shout out, and then moaned and roared louder, and even screamed. With the unstoppable impact and the ecstasy of happiness again and again, the whole room was filled. The hazy light from the corridor outside illuminated the spring love in the room, the charming room, the rich and indissoluble fragrance of love, which could not be blocked by the heavy curtains and carved fans...
The spring breeze in February was warm but still cold, but it was like a pair of scissors that cut out tender buds on willow branches, and strings of new green hung over the pond. Before I could appreciate them carefully, the spring rain in March came as expected, and it seemed that overnight, the whole yard was full of green, and tender green and red could be seen everywhere. The fresh and refreshing spring passed by unknowingly.
On April 12, the last bunch of spring peonies in Changle Mansion were in full bloom under the warm early summer sunshine. The wife of the Marquis of Changle, who could not hide her treasure, held a second flower-viewing banquet and invited all the wealthy and famous people in the capital to come and enjoy the flower-viewing. The female family members loved this kind of event the most. It was an opportunity to go out and relax, and they could also wear gorgeous and luxurious clothes to show off in front of people and compete for wealth. It was also the beginning of summer, and the weather was sunny and bright. For a while, the ladies of honor came in droves, and the garden of the Marquis of Changle Mansion was crowded. The flowers were gorgeous and beautiful, but too many people came, and it became a place to see the heads of people. Fortunately, the ladies of honor were all dressed beautifully, with different styles of clothes. They sat upstairs to watch. Meimei just thought she was participating in a unique fashion show.
