In the middle of the night, Chen Qing was woken up by his wife Lu Xiu. He opened his eyes in confusion and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Amei, tell me what's going on!"
Standing in front of the bed, Yao Mei hurriedly said: "It's the Imperial Guard King Dutong. He said there is an emergency and he wants to report it to the prince."
Chen Qing turned over and sat up and asked, "What time is it now?"
"Replying to the prince, the fourth watch has just passed."
Chen Qing nodded and said to Lu Xiu: "It's still early, Madam, please sleep a little longer! I'll be back as soon as I go."
Lu Xiu quickly handed over her husband's clothes, "Amei, put your clothes on for the prince quickly, it's cold outside!"
Yao Mei lit the lamp and helped Chen Qing put on her clothes. When she lowered her head to tie the belt, Chen Qing suddenly saw the scenery inside her bellyband. It was as plump as a peach, and she was indeed very mature.
Lu Xiu also saw it. She coughed quickly and said, "Amei, go and get the prince's hat first."
Yao Mei hurried over to get the gauze hat for Chen Qing to put on. She was very skilled in dressing Chen Qing. In just a moment, she arranged Chen Qing's clothes properly without any mess, and even combed his hair neatly.
.
Lian Luxiu couldn't help but secretly praise, this little lady is really a smart and beautiful person.
Tonight is Yao Mei's first night watch, that is, she sleeps outside. Chun Xi, who was on night watch before, was a bit rough and hurt Chen Qing while waiting for Chen Qing to wake up. Chen Qing didn't like it very much, so Lu Xiu asked Yao Mei to do it.
It's night time.
Night watch is a must for wealthy families. The master must have a maid to serve him when he wakes up at night and in the morning. However, sexual intercourse between husband and wife is also unavoidable. If you are a modern person, it may be difficult to accept it, but it has been like this since ancient times. The average wealthy lady
They are all accustomed to it.
Chen Qing put on his cotton robe and went out. It was now two o'clock in the morning on the fifth day of the first lunar month, and the weather was very cold. Five female guards were guarding Chen Qing from left to right. After a while, Chen Qing came to the central hall.
In the middle hall, Wang Hao was pacing back and forth anxiously. At this moment, footsteps came from outside. Chen Qing walked into the middle hall. Wang Hao quickly stepped forward and saluted, "See you all!"
"What's the emergency?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, the late emperor has passed away."
Chen Qing was shocked, Zhao Huan died?
"When did it happen?" Chen Qing asked anxiously.
"Just an hour ago, he took the elixir he had just made, and soon he bled to death from his orifices. The internal guards who were monitoring him discovered the situation and immediately came to report to his humble position."
Chen Qing was speechless. Although Zhao Huan had been living in a Taoist temple, he had not become a Taoist priest, but he was obsessed with refining elixirs. He never thought that just after the New Year, he would be poisoned to death by the elixirs he refined.
"How many people know about this now?"
"Except for the inner guards, only the former prince knows that he discovered that his father was in bad condition and ran to the inner guards for help. Now the inner guards have taken control of the courtyard and are tightly blocking the news."
"Well done!" Chen Qing praised.
Chen Qing walked a few steps with his hands behind his back and said: "Immediately move them from the Taoist temple to Qujiang Courtyard, and bury Zhao Huan's body secretly tonight. Find a good coffin and bury it in Qujiang Courtyard."
We must strictly block the news, appease the former prince, allow him to build a house to guard his father's tomb, and then move to Bianliang for a grand burial."
"Your Highness, I suggest you find someone with similar looks as soon as possible in case you need it!"
Chen Qing nodded, "You can do it, but again, keep it strictly confidential!"
"I understand the humble position!"
Chen Qing explained a few more words, and Wang Hao left in a hurry.
Chen Qing was no longer sleepy at this time. He asked the female guard to inform the princess, and then he returned to the study.
Chen Qing sat at the table and meditated. He had his own plan to replace the Song Dynasty. He needed to implement it step by step, like a slowly tightening noose, and like a little bit of boiling warm water. When everyone hates the Lin'an court, all that will happen.
It just fell into place.
He couldn't act too hastily on this matter, he wanted to take advantage of both his reputation and moral integrity.
On the Jin side, he needs to take some refreshments. Capturing Hebei is this year's task. Wanyanchang has been left alive for so many years, so it's time to deal with him.
At this time, a delicate snow-white hand placed a cup of hot tea in front of his eyes. Chen Qing looked up and saw that it was Yao Mei. Her black waterfall-like hair was spread over her shoulders, giving her beautiful face a hint of femininity.
of charming.
Chen Qing held her hand and held her in his arms, asking: "It's still early, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"My wife asked me to serve the prince!"
She raised her head and stared at Chen Qing with a pair of bright beautiful eyes. Her eyes were moving and her red lips were moving slightly. She was so beautiful that Chen Qing couldn't help it anymore and lowered his head to kiss her.
Yao Mei hugged Chen Qing's neck and kissed her back passionately. Chen Qing's hands began to roam around her body. Yao Mei gradually became short of breath and felt hot all over.
Chen Qing picked her up and walked to the second floor.
That night, Yao Mei desperately catered to her master and gave her body and soul without reservation.
At dawn, Chen Qing slowly woke up from a deep sleep, only to find that the beauty beside him was missing, and the peach blossoms on the bed sheets had also been taken away by her.
Thinking of the scene last night, Chen Qing felt that it was a bit absurd. He had promised to take her in next year, but he still made a mistake. Although it was a bit absurd, after thinking about it, he still felt happy.
At this time, the voice of his wife Lu Xiu came from downstairs, "The prince hasn't gotten up yet!"
"You haven't gotten up yet, please light the brazier and make a pot of milk tea."
"Cook more and give me a cup too."
"Slave, please obey!"
"Amei, did you sleep with the prince last night?"
Yao Mei didn't say anything. For a moment, Lu Xiu sighed, "I knew this would happen. It's my fault. If I let you serve the prince in the middle of the night, something will happen. Forget it, you must be restrained in the future. Don't mess around during the day. You must take care of yourself.
Do you remember the prince’s body?”
"Slave, I remember!"
"Go and wake up the prince! Today is the fifth day of the first lunar month. There is a New Year's court gathering and a New Year's banquet for all officials. Then you will make milk tea for me later and we can talk together."
Yao Mei quickly turned around and went upstairs. Lu Xiu glanced at her back and saw that she was walking a little unnaturally, so he knew that she had been severely beaten last night. It was the first time that she didn't know how high the sky was. Alas! The prince didn't know how to show mercy to women.
Lu Xiu shook her head and left. Yao Mei saw Chen Qing getting up. She stuck out her tongue and hugged the back of Chen Qing's neck with joy, "My lord, the princess agreed and she didn't punish me!"
Of course Chen Qing knew that his wife had deliberately arranged it. She knew her physiological habits in the middle of the night, otherwise she would have asked Yu Ying or Yu Lian to serve him. She asked Yao Mei to come in the middle of the night, which was actually her acquiescence.
The two were affectionate for a while, and then Chen Qing got up to wash up. He had a New Year's meeting today and had to entertain hundreds of officials. Things were really busy.
After a quick breakfast, Chen Qing set off.
At noon, Lu Xiu was chatting with the Zhao sisters. When it came to jewelry, Lu Xiu smiled and said: "The official gave me a luminous pearl the day before yesterday. It is really magical. It will shine by itself at night. Let me show you."
Zhao Qiaoyun smiled and said: "There were a few night-light pearls in the palace before, but they were snatched away by the Kingdom of Jin. We haven't seen them yet! Sister, please show us."
Lu Xiu turned around and ordered: "Chunxi, go to my dormitory and get the rosewood box beside the bed."
Chunxi agreed and hurried away.
Zhao Yingluo looked at Chunxi's back and said, "Sister, you didn't let Chunxi stay on night watch?"
Lu Xiu shook her head, "The officials don't like her. They say she has too many thoughts and nothing serious. I replaced her with Amei last night."
Zhao Yingluo smiled and said: "It seems that Amei is going to take over."
"I have been observing her for a year. This little lady is not bad. She has a good nature and is not a scheming woman. I can accept her."
At this time, Chunxi ran over in a panic, "Madam, I've been looking for a long time, but I can't see that box!"
Lu Xiu was startled, "No way! I saw it this morning, right next to my pillow."
"I've looked for it, but there really isn't one next to the pillow!"
"Strange!"
Lu Xiu thought for a while and said, "Go find the two little princesses!"
