The Counterfeit Madam Hou

It's November and the weather is getting cooler.

Today the wind shouted in the lotus pavilion, and Shemu temporarily moved the venue of the proceedings to the courtyard by the lotus flower.

Slight footsteps came from afar and three people in the yard looked at the door at the same time. The courtyard door was closed, naturally I couldn't see who the visitor was. No-yeong listened quietly for a moment and said to Xue Mu: “Listening to footsteps doesn't sound like a lady. Today, the Lady of the book of Lu Shang came to visit, probably her daughter Lu Jiao. ”

Shemu didn't speak, but Twisted Tongue couldn't help it.

Footsteps came to the door, and the people outside didn't knock, pushing directly into the door. Seems like I didn't expect so many people in there. Lu Jiao stunned for a moment before walking up to Shemu with a smile. He gave him a humiliating gift: “Little girl Lu Jiao met Grandpa Hou. ”

Twisted Tong looked ridiculously at the cheerful person across the street, this Lu Jiao was really shameless, they all came to the Lotus Flower. If there was no one here, should we lie directly in the bed of the Marquis?

Much more exciting than the taunt of a twisted tongue, looking at the other person with interest. He has heard of Lu Jiao's fame. He looks like a rare beauty. Unfortunately, he is very proud of his character. In the previous days, he also humiliated those who went to the Sangshu Palace to propose a kiss. He was angry with others to let go of his mantra. He would rather marry a pig than marry her.

Shemu didn't have any expression, but he asked coldly, “Why is Miss Lui here? ”

It seemed that Shemu's attitude towards herself was too cold, Lu Jiaoxiao frowned, and then laughed even more delightfully than before: “The little girl was visiting Lotus Pond, and she inadvertently saw that there was a small courtyard here, so she built it very distinctively, and came to see it for a moment. ”

With a smile on her face, Shemu's black eyes did not stir up a slight flutter because of Lu Jiao's words. Even the tone of his speech did not fluctuate: “This is my private residential home, it is not convenient for outsiders to visit. Miss Lu, please return. ”

Such a delineation of the boundaries of the eviction order changed Lu Jiao's face. But looking at Shemu across the street, he pressed his temper and smiled slightly: “The Hou Fu Garden is too big, I don't really remember the road, I wonder if Grandpa Hou could give her a ride? ”

I can't help hearing this place anymore. I buried my head in my chest and laughed furiously. Master Hou might really give you a ride. Ha ha ha!

Shemu glanced slightly and his voice was cooler than it had just been: “Twisted tongue, send Miss Lui out. ”

“Yes, Grandpa.” With all due respect, Twisted Tongue made a gesture to Lu Jiao, “Come on, Miss Lu. ”

Lu Jiao clasped her lower lip and seemed unhappy. She silenced for a while and smiled at Shemu. “I won't bother this girl anymore, I'll just go back myself. ”

Lu Jiao walked out with the maid, knowing that she was unhappy, and couldn't even breathe a breath behind her. As he passed through the garden, Lu Jiao broke a branch with a white pear blossom and stepped on his feet.

Ever since she was a kid, she wanted what she wanted. She didn't believe it. She couldn't get Shemu!

In the shore of the lotus flower, Twisted Tong saw Lu Jiao walking away and went up and closed the courtyard door again. When he turned around, the ridicule in his eyes had not dispersed.

In Chang 'an City, I think of the number of Master Hou's thousand gold ladies, but as bold as Lu Jiao, other than Princess Yongfu, I really can't find anyone else. But Princess Yongfu is at least a princess. She has many years of friendship with Master Hou. What is she, Lu Jiao?

Liu Qinghuan did not dare to build it again, but she would not hide her full malice towards the other Inge Swallow.

“What a visit to Lotus Pond, I think she just knew Grandpa Hou was here and came on purpose. ”

After listening to the twisted tongue, she warped her head: “But Master Hou is already married. Is she still pointing to her as a concubine? ”

Twisted Tong's smile: “Even if Master Hou really wanted to take a concubine, she could not return Baba to run to Hou Fu as a concubine.” How shameless it must be.

Shemu glanced up at them and said, “Don't ever mention the word concubine in front of me again. ”

“At the same time the twisted tongue and twisted her head down. ”

On the other side of the main hall, Qing Qing also heard the wind, and the wind and fire came in: "Madam! ”

Liu Qinghuan saw her rushing in, curious: “What's the rush? ”

Qing Qing ran to her and gasped for a few moments: “The slave just heard from the maids in the other rooms that today Lady Lu from the Sangshu Mansion came to visit the old lady and took her daughter Lu Jiao with her. ”

Liu Qinghuan was stunned by the name Lu Jiao. When her elder sister first married into Sang Shu, she often heard her complain about her little aunt. Although she seemed to know Dali, she was the person who couldn't eat at all and couldn't afford to lose half his breath. Plus, the husband was there to protect her. The young lady should not have caught any cheap price at her place. Now she rarely mentioned this person.

She looked at him and asked curiously, "What's wrong with her? ”

Qingqing frowned when she asked, resentful look: “She actually went to the lotus flower! Ma'am, what do you think she's doing? ”

Liu Qinghuanhuanzheng, oh, I see.

She hasn't seen Lu Jiao, but in the words of the elder sister, if it wasn't for the fact that she had a big father and had a good leather bag, I'm afraid she wouldn't have married out in her life.

Qingtao listened to Qing Qing, as if he remembered something: “The slave heard that Lu Jiaqin had scolded the people who had come to the door to kiss her. Turns out she had a crush on the grandfather. ”

“Red peaches.” Green glanced at her. Red Peach hurriedly lowered his head: “The slave lost his word and asked the lady not to blame him. ”

“No problem.” Liu Qinghuan dropped the pastry in her hand and asked the two maids to prepare hot water for her bath.

As soon as Lu Jiao entered the courtyard, he saw Liu Qingya sitting beside him. Her abdomen had been slightly raised and the four springs next to her waited carefully.

Lu Jiao pretended not to see her and walked straight inside. Liu Qingya suddenly called her: “Jiao. ”

Lu Jiao stopped and looked back at her: “What is it?” She has always disliked this sister-in-law, but the big brother was there to protect her, and soon after she had a son, she was pregnant with another one, and now the whole monk shrine holds her in her hands like a baby.

Seems to see the impatience in her eyes, Liu Qingya doesn't intend to say more to her: “I heard you and your mother went to Yongning Hou Mansion today? ”

Lu Jiao slightly glanced: “So what? ”

Liu Qingya smiled: “Master Hou is indeed very good, not only handsome, but also wenwu Shuangquan, deeply loved by the Emperor. Unfortunately, such a good man is already someone else's son-in-law. ”

Lu Jiao's eyebrows wrinkled violently, and she knew that Liu Qingya had intentionally waited here to disgust her. She took a step forward and looked at her with disgrace: "How can your sister compare to me? If this marriage hadn't been decided in front of General Xue, do you think the Marquis would have married her? ”

Liu Qingya didn't bother to hear her say that. Instead, she agreed: “My sister is not as good as you, but Master Hou just likes her. What do you say? ”

“You!”

Lu Jiao just stepped forward and was stopped by the big maid behind Liu Qingya: “Madam is pregnant, don't be angry. ”

Lu Jiao glanced at Liu Qingya and quickly walked away. Liu Qingya looked at Lu Jiaoqiao's backflush and smiled. Little girl, you still want to dig her sister's corner? I can't kill you.

After the sun set, Shemu returned to his home. When I pushed the door, I saw Liu Qinghuan sitting inside only wearing a tuxedo. His eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle: “Qing Qing, it's getting cold now, why are you wearing so little? ”

Liu Qinghuan blinked at him, still sitting still. Shemu couldn't help but walk up and hold the person in her arms. When her hands covered her cold fingertips, her eyebrows became tighter: “Are you still sitting here with your hands so cold? Makes people worry, doesn't it? ”

He picked them up, put them on the bed, and wrapped them in a quilt. Liu Qinghuan ran into Shemu's arms with quilts: “Amu, how is the thousand gold in the monastery? ”

Shemu laughed softly and even held him in her arms: “I don't remember. ”

Liu Qing thought about it and reached out his hand from the quilt and hung it on Shemu's shoulder: “Amu, I'm not happy that so many people miss you. ”

Shemu shoved her hand back in and laughed low in her arms. Liu Qinghuan felt his slightly vibrating chest and looked up at him: "Amu, remember what I said? I don't mind your concubine, but you don't mind if they die suddenly. ”

Shemu smiled. “I don't want to hurt my girl if you're so overbearing. ”

“Humph.” Liu Qinghuan mumbled and worried a little, "Amu, why hasn't it moved for so long? ”

Of course she meant her stomach.

Shemu smiled and pressed him under his back and went into the nest: "It's okay, we just need to try a little harder.” He kissed her meticulously.

After this period of grinding, Shemu seemed to feel that Liu Qinghuan had adapted to himself, and was much more liberated than before when doing something intimate.

After a hard work, Shemu closed his eyes and held Liu Qinghuan in his arms. He seemed to enjoy this time that belonged only to them. Liu Qinghuan rubbed his plush head against him, slightly looking up at his beautiful arc jaw: “Amu, it's her birthday in the middle of this month, what can we give her? ”

Shemu kept her eyes closed and thought for a while: "What Mama wants most is a grandson. ”

Liu Qinghuan's eyes collapsed: “What then? ”

Shemu's lips gracefully held a smile and opened his eyes to the man in his arms: "Shall we do it again? ”

Liu Qinghuan's eyes sparkled. He drilled out of Shemu's arms and affixed his lips: “Do it again twice. ”

Shemu lowered her smile and gently embraced her shiny back: “Can you do it? ”

Liu Qinghuan's eyes blurred: “Of course I can, how about you? ”

“I can't?” The smile on the corner of Shemu's mouth suddenly deepened, demonstrating its viability directly through practical action.

Another ten days, when Shemu returned from the palace, Liu Qinghuan had fallen asleep. He frowned and asked the green guard outside: "Did you clean up your dinner? ”

"'My lord, Madam has already used it,' said Qingyun. 'I'm afraid I'm not feeling well, so I fell asleep early. ”

“Not feeling well?” Shemu's eyes sank, “Have you asked the doctor to come and see? ”

“In the afternoon, Miss Tsongtang went to Dongshi and invited Dr. Li Yuanbai. She diagnosed the pulse and said it was fine. ”

Shemu thought about it and nodded to her: "Yes, go ahead. ”

“Yes.”

After Qingzheng went out, Shemu walked to sit next to Liu Qinghuan and gently caressed his palms from her head. She has good hair and Shemu really has the illusion of touching herself on satin.

He bent down slightly and called softly: "Clear? ”

Liu Qinghuan's eyelashes moved and some unwillingly opened their eyes: “Amu...”

Shemu's eyebrows hung together unconsciously, and a pair of black eyes didn't look at her instantly: "Clear, what's wrong with you? What is wrong with you? ”

Liu Qinghuan's head rubbed twice on Shemu's palm and smiled at him: “No, it's just a little sleepy. ”

Shemu glanced slightly at the corner of his mouth and asked: "What did Li Yuanbai say? ”

“Well, he says I'm fine, maybe it's been a long time. ”

Liu Qinghuan spoke very lightly, like a fish playing in the mountain spring water, Shemu understood almost instantly what she meant by hard work. Smiling silently, he looked at Liu Qinghuan slightly tired and kissed her in the brow: “Go to sleep. ”

“Okay.” Liu Qinghuan answered obscurely and closed his eyes again. Shemu saw her fall asleep and went outside to summon her.

“Master, what can I do for you? ”

"'Go get Li Yuanbai,' said Shemu. ”

He stunned for a moment and blessed Shemufu: “Slaves are on their way. ”

Li Yuanbai was still nestled in his own den after eating, and was screwed into Hou Fu without saying anything. He looked at the quiet Master in front of him and rubbed his nose: "Master Huo, come to me at this time, are you inviting me to finish my dinner? ”

Shemu glanced up at him and Li Yuanbaitung took a step backwards: “Actually, I've had enough food. If you need anything, please let me know. ”

"'I'm asking you,' said Shemu. 'What's wrong with Qing's body? ”

Li Yuanbai said: "Madam is in good health, nothing wrong. ”

Shemu watched him not speak.

Li Yuanbai felt a little stressed and took another step backwards: “However, Madame is very ill and is not suitable for too much... labor.” Li Yuanbai answered the question carefully and with discretion. "Don't worry, I have prescribed the medicine for Lady Jiangshen. Drink two copies and she will be fine, but it may be easier to get stuck. ”

Shemu's eyebrow peak moved and seemed to be thinking about something. Li Yuanbai's palms are already covered in cold sweat.

“The best you can say is true. ”

Shemu's voice reminded Li Yuanbai of the beasts lurking in the forest. Though insensitive, they were full of danger.

He tried to lift his mouth and pull a smile at Shemu: “Really, of course, what am I doing with this kind of thing? ”

Shemu waved at him: "Come on, get down. ”

“Grandpa Xie Hou.” Li Yuanbai ran out like a monarch and took a long breath.

Over the next few days, Liu Qinghuan drank his medicine every day and, as Li Yuanbai said, was easily trapped. But there's nothing else.

Shemu hasn't even touched her these past few nights, just holding her to sleep every night and caring for her like a fragile baby.

Looking at those with their eyes closed in their arms, Shemu's voice was soft as warm water: "Qing Qing, tomorrow is Mother's birthday, can you go to luncheon? ”

“Yes.” Liu Qinghuan opened his eyes and moved into his arms, “I'm not seriously ill. ”

Shemu couldn't help but print a kiss on the corner of her mouth and intertwine her breath: "Tomorrow I'll be back for lunch, when I get back, okay? ”

“Okay...” Liu Qinghuan answered vaguely and suddenly asked, “Amu, you said you were preparing a gift for your mother. Are you ready? ”

Shemu smiled and kissed her on the tip of her nose, whispering: "Ready, don't worry. ”

“Well, that's good.” Liu Qinghuan seemed relieved and soon fell asleep in Shemu's arms.

When I woke up the next day, Shemu was gone. Liu Qinghuan was carefully waited for a change of clothes to eat, and took another bowl of Li Yuanbai's traditional Chinese medicine, and heard a slight speech coming from outside. Qing Qing walked up and said: "Madam, it seems that the ladies who came to the banquet have arrived. ”

“Mmm." Liu Qinghuan nodded, not to mention that the Ning family had made good friends with a number of Ladies in Chang 'an City. Even if she were isolated, many people would want to take advantage of her birthday to get online with Hou Fu. According to theory, as the only daughter-in-law of the Hou Mansion, she should go to the inner hall at this time to help the Ning family greet their wives, but yesterday Shemu told her to wait for him to come back. Liu Qinghuan also stayed in the main room.

A little while later, there was a hidden noise of women laughing. Liu Qinghuan's eyebrows moved and called Qinghuan to look outside. Not long later, he came back from the outside with a blue face. Liu Qing was happy to see her like that. She didn't find it funny: “Who pissed off the girl again? How dare you. ”

Qingqing looked at her and seemed somewhat dissatisfied with her laughter: “Madam, you still say that Miss Lu of the Shang Shufu is here again. ”

Peach frowned and asked Qing Qing: “Isn't she supposed to be in the inner hall? Why did she come to the main room again? ”

“Oh, no!” Green anger rushes to the tunnel, "the last time I went to look for Master Hou by the lotus flower, this time I came to the main room to look for Madame! ”

Liu Qinghuan raised his mouth and stood up from the bed: “In that case, we will go out and meet this Miss Lu. ”

Red peaches and green peaches walked up in a bit of a hurry: "Ma'am, leave her alone. If she bumped into Ma'am, then the grandfather would punish us if she came back. ”

Liu Qing smiled and soothed: “Don't be afraid, just because she can't hit me yet. ”

Red peaches and green peaches glanced at each other and quickly followed.

Outside the yard, Lu Jiaozheng stood with the other lady and talked about something. Her tone was very high. Even at a distance, Liu Qinghuan still heard what she had to say.

“I bought this silver incense bag from Hushang in West City on my birthday. This is the only one in Changan City. ”

Lu Jiao's bragging tone made Liu Qing Huanhuan soften his eyebrows, but looking at the official lady next to Lu Jiao, he didn't react much. Lu Jiao seemed to be a little uncomfortable because she didn't see the other party's envious expression. She turned her head and saw Liu Qinghuan walking towards herself.

Lu Jiao instantly straightened his spine, raised his head high and took a fighting stance. Liu Qinghuan walked up slowly with a smile in his mouth. The lady next to Lu Jiao also saw Liu Qinghuan and nodded politely at her place: “Mrs. Xue. ”

Liu Qinghuan looked at her twice and just wanted to talk, Lu Jiao shouted: “Sister He, we've been out for so long, Ma'am, they are afraid that they will worry, let's go to the inner hall first.” After that, I looked at Liu Qinghuan in a meaningful way. "Don't be like some people, Mother's birthday can't see anyone. ”

“You...” Qinghuan wanted to go forward and talk to Lu Jiao theory. Liu Qinghuan glanced back at him. Lu Jiaotoe grunted together, lifting his feet to the inner hall, and when he passed by Liu Qinghuan, he deliberately hit her severely.

Now you can frighten the peaches and green, hurrying forward to hold Liu Qinghuan: “Madam, are you all right?! ”

Liu Qinghuan smiled at them and shook his head: “I'm fine. ”

Qing Qing finally couldn't help but theorize to Lu Jiao: “Miss Lu, this is the Hou Dynasty, not the Sang Shu Dynasty, you can't mess with it! ”

“Oh, this is Hou Fu's foster descendant? How dare you talk to me like that? How dare you!” Lu Jiao raised his hand and tried to slap Qingqiao, but he was caught unexpectedly on the wrist. She looked back and was pulled out by herself.

Lu Jiao frowned and was about to get angry. Why should she say softly and calmly: “Sister Lu needn't get her hands dirty, let's go back to the inner hall earlier. ”

Her voice was thin and light, unspeakable and gentle, but with some irrefutable firmness.

Lu Jiaoqiao lips, drew back his wrist, glanced at the green and walked to the inner hall. Why Soft nodded at Liu Qinghuan again and walked with her.

Looking angrily at Lu Jiao's back, Liu Qinghuan knocked on her head and said: “Are you still angry? Why don't I give this to you? ”

Liu Qinghuan raised his right hand in front of Qinghuan's eyes and released his palm. A silver ball-like incense bag fell out of her hand. The upper end of the capsule is tied with a golden hinge, pinched by Liu Qinghuan, on a silver spherical surface, carved with complex and even blossoms.

Green's eyes lit up and he looked incredibly at Liu Qinghuan: “Madam, this is...”

“This is the only incense bag in Long Anjo.” Liu Qinghuan looked at her. The smile in the corner of her mouth was more cunning than a fox's.

Red Peach also looked at Liu Qinghuan with surprise: “It was just when she hit you...”

“Shh.” Liu Qinghuan made a loud finger and smiled at them, “we'll talk about it when we get back to the house. ”
