Fu Mingyu carefully took the kitten over. The kitten sniffed Fu Mingyu's hand and narrowed its eyes in her arms, snoring.
"Oh, it likes you!" Xia Pingting said with a smile, "It shows that we are destined!"
"This kitten has mandarin duck eyes, just call it a mandarin duck!" Fu Mingyu hugged the furry little thing, her heart melted, "I saw the cute kitten you brought in before in the palace, and I have long wanted to raise one.
But I’m afraid that it will end up like Concubine Rou’s little white cat, so I don’t dare to raise it.”
"Talking about this! After asking about the gossip, did you finally find the person who killed the kitten?" Xia Pingting asked.
"I found it. It's a maid from Concubine Rou's Palace. She's not very noticeable on weekdays." Fu Mingyu thought about it and said, it's been so long since Xia Pingting asked about it today, so she told her.
"It is said that I was holding a grudge because I was punished by Concubine Rou, and Concubine Rou's pet came to vent her anger."
"Does the palace lady hate Concubine Rou that much?" Xia Pingting was slightly surprised, "Can she hate her so much that she skinned the cat and threw it under Concubine Rou's bed?"
"I don't know about this. It was the Queen who investigated it," Fu Mingyu said. "Poor Concubine Rou was so frightened that she not only lost her child, but she has also been sick ever since."
At that time, Concubine Rou had been pregnant for several months, and the fetus had already been firmly seated. However, when this incident happened, she was frightened, angry and sad, and the child could not be saved... Later
The miscarriage of this child also laid the root of the disease, and she has never been well.
"The Queen Mother should be asked to investigate at that time!" Xia Pingting said bitterly, "I don't believe that a palace maid can have that courage!"
"You can forget about it here!" Fu Mingyu said with a smile, "I only told you this matter after so long ago. You must not say anything when you go outside. At that time, there was a big quarrel between the Queen and the Queen Mother.
Your Majesty also wants the Queen to manage the harem, so
It was decreed that this matter be handed over to the Queen for thorough investigation, and no one else is allowed to interfere. In this case, the Queen Mother will naturally not be able to investigate! So we don’t know whether this is the truth of the matter, and the case has been closed. Only
You can take this as real!"
Xia Pingting understood the meaning of Fu Mingyu's words as soon as she heard it.
It is possible for the Queen to cry out to catch the thief. After all, if Concubine Rou gives birth to a prince...
"Of course I understand, so I just gossiped. I just feel that Concubine Rou is pitiful, and that cat is pitiful!" Xia Pingting said.
"Well, since this incident, Concubine Rou has invited herself to the palace to recuperate. She only returns to the palace every year during the Chinese New Year. I'm afraid she is also heartbroken!" Fu Mingyu said.
"Yes. Concubine Rou treated me very well before. Every year she came back, she never forgot to bring me some specialties from the hot spring palace. When she comes back this year, we will go and see her together," Xia Pingting said.
"Okay. She treats me the same way. She deserves to visit." Fu Mingyu nodded.
"By the way, our Dingguo Palace has morning exercises every morning in order to keep fit. If you are willing, you can get up earlier and come to the back garden! Our family is different from other people's families. There is no rule about morning and evening. Do you want to do morning exercises in the morning?
see mother
To say hello to her, just come to the back garden!" Xia Pingting said, "I used to catch cold and cough frequently in winter. Since I got married to the Duke of Dingguo, I have been taking good care of myself and exercising every day. It has been two years now.
I haven’t been exposed to the cold yet!”
"Is it so magical?" Fu Mingyu asked curiously.
"No, the female relatives of Duke Dingguo all practice martial arts. Although I have never learned it, I have practiced with my mother in the past few years, and I have become quite good at it! Are you willing to come?" Xia Pingting said with a smile. Then she pulled
He lifted up his sleeves and showed his arms to Fu Mingyu, "Did you see that I have a lot more strength here!"
As soon as she exerted force, the muscle lines on her arms swelled. Fu Mingyu was so surprised that she raised her hand to poke it, and sure enough!
"It's really amazing!" Fu Mingyu felt like a fool for just praising... She clapped her hands and said, "What have you learned?"
"I'm not very good at practicing the Qin family's ancestral marksmanship, but my sister-in-law and my third and fourth younger siblings are good at practicing it. They have a foundation in martial arts after all!" Xia Pingting said this with great envy. "I knew it earlier.
, I should have practiced martial arts since I was a child!"
"Then can I do it?" Fu Mingyu suddenly felt like she couldn't fit in with this family! Even Xia Pingting had learned the Qin family's marksmanship, but she didn't know anything! This was really worrying her!
"Why not? I didn't know anything when I first came here!" Xia Pingting said, "My mother encouraged us to practice martial arts. She said that practicing martial arts is not only to exercise our bodies, but also to exercise our will! Women should not just
We are tinkering in the backyard, and if there is a chance, our daughter's family can also make a contribution! Mother has a good idea, but even if we have this opportunity, the court will not give it to us."
"I knew my mother was good even before I got married!" Fu Mingyu said with envy, "Now I admire my mother even more! Don't worry, I'll be there for morning sex tomorrow."
"That's a good relationship. Later I will give you a set of clothes that you can use for practice. I have worn them, but they have been washed. Don't be dissatisfied. Just wear them first. I see that you don't have any suitable clothes for morning exercises. I'll wait until later.
Make a few sets yourself." Xia Pingting said.
"What the second sister-in-law said is really out of line. How could I dislike it? It's too late to be happy!" Fu Mingyu said with a smile.
The more the two of them chatted, the more they became interested in each other. Xia Pingting simply stayed here to have dinner in the evening.
Ci'an Palace
Grandma Sun walked in quickly.
"Your Majesty." She bowed to the Queen Mother, "I heard that a sedan was carried into the palace from the northwest corner gate."
The Queen Mother had finished her dinner and was flipping through a book boredly.
After spending a day at Fu's house yesterday, the Queen Mother felt lonely as soon as she returned to the palace today!
She didn't feel that the Ci'an Palace was deserted before, after all, Fu Mingyu was still with her. Now that she has returned to the Fu family once and met so many relatives and friends, and her beloved Fu Mingyu got married again, the Queen Mother felt that she suddenly felt a little missing.
What's wrong, I feel so empty! Even the food in the palace doesn't taste good anymore!
"Did it be arranged by His Majesty or the Queen?" The Queen Mother was flipping through a book without even wanting to raise her head.
Anyway, these two are the only ones who have the guts to carry people to the palace, and no one else!
"His Majesty sent King Chen to pick him up. King Chen personally escorted him," said Grandma Sun.
"Oh? King Chen is very busy! When did you start helping His Majesty find beauties?" the Queen Mother said sarcastically.
"As for the Queen Mother, this sedan was carried all the way from Cihang Nunnery to the palace!" Grandma Sun said.
The Queen Mother closed the book with a snap, "Really? Our Queen may have to give up her ethics for King Chen!"
