Chapter 28
Chapter 27:
Sunbathing together?
But these two beds are so close together, if you lie down on it and accidentally turn over, or the princess accidentally bumps into your arms?
No, no.
In just a short moment, Tang Yunian had already foreseen the possible outcome, and the final outcome was that her life would be at risk. The nightmare is already so terrifying, it must not become a reality!
The beauty rests on the couch to keep the eyes and hearts good, but Tang Yunian refused righteously, “Princess, today’s sunlight is so beautiful—”
“It’s very good.” Wei Yubing nodded and smiled, “That’s why I invited my husband to come over and enjoy the sun together.” She moved aside, “Husband, sit down.”
In Tang Yunian’s mind, “Are you still enjoying the sunshine here?” was stuck in his throat.
Wei Yubing didn’t realize it at all, she sat up straight and waved to her with a smile, “Husband, come here!”
Who can refuse a princess with all manner of appearances? At least Tang Yunian couldn’t. Walking over obediently, Tang Yunian sat on the soft side with a stiff body.
The two sides were very close to each other, but Tang Yunian couldn’t stand to choose the edge to sit on the edge.
“Is the concubine going to sit like this?” Wei Yubing asked with a smile.
“This way, it’s comfortable to sit.” Tang Yunian clasped his hands under his sleeves tightly, his feet touched the ground, and looked like he was going to run anytime, anywhere.
“So that’s how it is!” Wei Yubing laughed like a flower, then jumped off the soft land, then circled halfway, and walked to the soft land beside Tang Yunian, “Then I’ll try it too?”
Without asking whether Tang Yunian would agree, Wei Yubing sat directly next to Tang Yunian.
“Princess, princess…” Tang Yunian’s breathing became tense, his fingers were tightly curled under his sleeves, and his palms were sweating nervously.
“Didn’t your husband say call me Yubing when no one is there?” Wei Yubing asked.
She said it, but… isn’t this an outsider? Tang Yunian glanced at Yunxiang.
“Husband is referring to Yunxiang?” Wei Yubing also glanced casually. Tang Yunian didn’t speak, Yunxiang couldn’t hold back herself, she was ashamed, lowered her head, and stammered, “Slave, maid, let’s go.”
“Okay.” Wei Yubing turned to Tang Yunian triumphantly.
A small courtyard, two rattan chairs, two people.
This ambience…
Something seems wrong…
“Husband,” Wei Yubing was very skilled, as if it should be so, when he tilted his head, he was about to lean on Tang Yunian.
Terribly aware of Wei Yubing’s intentions, Tang Yunian jumped up from the soft slump.
“Husband, what’s wrong?” Wei Yubing rubbed his eyes, confused.
“No, nothing…” Tang Yunian also realized that his reaction was a little big, and quickly apologized, “I just, I just sat in the carriage for too long and wanted to stand.”
“That’s it.” Wei Yubing didn’t pierce Tang Yunian’s vulnerable lie, and smiled, “I thought my husband was very tired from the court, and now I will think about taking a good rest.”
“I was fine last time.” Tang Yunian remembered something as he said, “Does Yu Bing remember when we went shopping together last month and passed by Qili Street?”
“Qili Street?”
“Yes, this is the street.” Tang Yunian said. In fact, if it wasn’t for the name of the street named by the imperial censor of the city, Tang Yunian would not have known it at all.
“There was a man riding a horse on this street at the time, and thanks to Yubing for pulling me in time.” Tang Yunian tried his best to paint the picture of that day vividly, so that Wei Yubing could remember it quickly.
“Husband said so, I remembered.”
Fortunately, Wei Yubing’s memory is not bad. Tang Yunian was overjoyed and continued to ask, “Do you know Yubing who rode the horse that day?”
“Do you want to hear the truth? Or is it a lie?”
Is it true or false?
“The truth is,” Wei Yubing stood up, Tang Yunian’s eyes shifted with her every move, Wei Yubing was putting away the fan that had just fallen on the soft collapse, and after sitting down again, she motioned Tang Yunian to sit down .
Desperate to determine whether that person is a princess, Tang Yunian sat down without hesitation.
“The truth is that I know it,” Wei Yubing smiled, “The lie is that I don’t know it.”
“That day… was it Yu Bing who sent people to look for the imperial censor of the city?” Tang Yunian asked again.
“It’s Mu Qing.” Wei Yubing said with a smile, “He’s the head guard of the princess’ residence, so this kind of thing must be handed over to him.”
“Yu Bing…” Tang Yu Nian pursed his lips, clearly knowing that she has no position to say this, but she still asked, “Can Yu Bing do these things in the future, can you tell me first?”
Although she doesn’t understand anything now, she doesn’t want to stand in the court hall at a loss like today.
“But what happened?” Wei Yubing asked knowingly.
Tang Yunian became even more depressed when he mentioned this. He drooped his head and said in a low voice, “Today I have embarrassed the princess.” And if it wasn’t for the princess’ foresight, it is unknown whether she would be able to come back intact now.
“Bengong vaguely heard a little bit,” Wei Yubing said softly, “But the concubine regretted because she didn’t expect it that day, and felt guilty about what happened today?”
Tang Yunian nodded without hesitation.
“Could the concubine know why the Censor Station is just dissatisfied with your failure to report it?”
It’s just oneself, that is to say, others can see it as if they haven’t seen it?
“Because you are the concubine.” Wei Yubing smiled.
“Because of this?” Tang Yunian was surprised.
“Yes,” Wei Yubing nodded, “that’s why.”
“Zhang Shuming is not fake, but it did not cause any substantial damage. Others will not pay attention to this kind of thing, but you are different. You are a concubine, and you were born to face our royal family. This matter can be said to be big or not. Small, but no matter how big or small, as the concubine, you have to stand up.”
It turned out that being a concubine also had this responsibility, Tang Yunian was stunned.
After thinking about it again, it seems to make sense. If you compare Your Majesty to an ordinary father, then you are the son-in-law of the house. If there is a problem with the subordinates of the old man’s family, she, the son-in-law of the house, can’t be indifferent, right? It does make sense.
But… even if he doesn’t know anything else, Tang Yunian also understands the truth that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Could it be that he is a concubine, and whenever he encounters someone who does something bad, he must report it? Don’t tell me if Your Majesty is bothered or not, will she think she is framing others?
Also, the son-in-law is still like this, and the prince, as the son of His Majesty, is not more likely to be like this on weekdays. If everyone was like this, wouldn’t the court and the public avoid it, and no one would want to pay attention to himself and those princesses and princes?
“That’s another question.” Wei Yubing said with a smile, “How can other people know if you know or don’t know? But what happened that day was in full view, and Zhang Shuming was indeed my mother’s descendant, so the Censor Station had this guess. It’s not surprising.” In fact, favoritism from another angle would be untenable, so Wei Yubing didn’t say that.
Why is this relationship so lenient, that is to say, she is a cannon fodder here, but she just happened to see it at that point, and she happened to be attacked by the Censor Desk, saying that she is protecting Zhang Shuming, doesn’t it imply that Your Majesty should not favor Zhang Shuming for his own sake?
Therefore, if you don’t report it, the punishment is also a piggyback. Anyway, His Majesty will punish Zhang Shuming no matter what.
“The concubine doesn’t have to blame himself. What Zhang Shuming committed does not refer to these two things.”
“What else did he do?” Tang Yunian asked curiously.
“For example, embezzlement and bribery, or taking care of people’s lives?” Wei Yubing shook his head, “I don’t remember much of this palace.”
“Gong, Princess, won’t you report it to Your Majesty?” Tang Yunian was shocked, and even committed a life?
Wei Yubing smiled, as if she was laughing at her being too stupid. Tang Yunian touched his nose unnaturally, and looked away, Wei Yubing continued, “Reporting requires evidence, there is no evidence, Censor Desk It’s impossible, and now it’s just two small things to talk about.”
But even if these two trivial matters were dismissed from the official staff and held accountable for fifty, then if all major matters were revealed, His Majesty would not let him fall directly on the head? How dare he?
Wei Yubing glanced at her lightly again.
Well, she said the wrong thing again. Tang Yunian shut up wisely.
“It was about two years ago in the deep winter,” Wei Yubing recalled. “The fourth prince pestered the palace servants to go ice skating, but the mammy took him there. Although the fourth prince was only eight or nine years old, walking on ice was extremely difficult. Hurry up, in a quarter of an hour, Mammy won’t be able to catch up.”
“I didn’t know that there was a piece of ice in front of me that collapsed, and the fourth prince fell unnoticed. This palace also learned later that it was Zhang Shuming who jumped out of the ice cave and saved the fourth prince that day.”
“So he will be appreciated by the concubine from now on?” It shouldn’t be said that, it was his nephew that should always be like this, but it got deeper after this incident.
“Husband actually knew?” Wei Yubing seemed a little surprised.
“I just heard a little bit.” Tang Yunian scratched his head embarrassedly.
“It’s almost.” Wei Yubing said, “Zhang Shuming is a concubine who shouldn’t like the imperial concubine, but it will be different after that.”
It turns out that Zhang Shuming is a concubine. Tang Yunian, the concubines and concubines, has never seen them before, but he can see the clue from these few words. The concubines, even the aunts don’t like it.
“Yubing,” Tang Yunian asked softly, “you and Concubine Yuegui?” This is Wei Yubing’s younger brother and cousin, right? But speaking of them, they are all addressing the ice directly.
“If Concubine Yuegui doesn’t marry my father, she should be regarded as my aunt, and Zhang Shuming’s father and mother are not the same mother. My grandmother has only one daughter. Three months after her death, my grandfather married my current grandmother. , and gave birth to a pair of twins, Concubine Yuegui and her brother.”
“Three months?” Tang Yunian couldn’t believe it.
“It’s three months.”
This, this is too crap. Back then, how old was the queen’s concubine, and they all said that if you had a stepmother, you would have a stepfather, so it’s impossible to care about your daughter at this speed of marriage, right?
“Husband, is there anything else you want to ask?” Wei Yubing smiled at her.
“No.” Tang Yunian was too embarrassed to ask, no wonder the empress did not look down on Zhang Shuyu, no matter how good he was, it was impossible. Tang Yunian thought of His Majesty’s doting on Concubine Yue, and this can be seen from the children alone. Concubine has two sons and one daughter, while the Empress has only one daughter. Too, too miserable, right?
“Husband,” Wei Yubing seemed tired after talking too much, so she lay down holding Tang Yunian’s arm.
This time Tang Yunian didn’t refuse, and even adjusted, Wei Yubing found a comfortable position to lie down. As long as Tang Yunian lowered his head, he could see Wei Yubing’s charming profile, slightly trembling eyelashes, and tightly closed eyes.
In fact, Tang Yunian still had doubts in his heart. The empress’s attitude towards the imperial concubine was obvious, but what about the princess? The relationship between the princess and the princess Lian is so good, I think it is not mixed into the grievances of the previous generation.
Although she may be indoctrinated by the queen from time to time, the princess has her own judgment. What a good person the princess is, her idea is so simple, she just wants to find a concubine whose status is not too precious to spend her life well, but, she…
Tang Yunian was silent.
I don’t know how long it took, Yunxiang came in and saw such a warm and quiet picture. The princess was sleeping peacefully and contentedly on the arm of the concubine, while the concubine looked down at the princess and looked at her tenderly. Some envious.
Without hesitation, Yunxiang squeezed the invitation card in her hand and quietly withdrew. The relationship between the concubine and the princess is really good, which is naturally good, but the body of the concubine, Yunxiang feels that what Li mama said is very reasonable, and she will go to see it now.
Wei Yubing lay like this for half an hour half asleep and half awake. When she got up, she realized that she was really asleep on Tang Yunian’s arm.
Obviously at that time, she saw that Tang Yunian always wanted to escape, but she just wanted to leave her.
Wei Yubing noticed that it was difficult for Tang Yunian to lift his arm, so he rarely said sincerely, “It’s my fault, is your husband uncomfortable now?”
“It’s okay.” Tang Yunian said generously, as a husband, how could she be so squeamish, so Tang Yunian directly showed Wei Yubing that her arm was okay.
“Most of the sun has passed,” Tang Yunian said, “Yu Bing, shall we move the recliner back?”
“Husband doesn’t want to move by himself, right?” Wei Yubing said with a smile.
Right on my mind.
Wei Yubing pursed her lips and smiled, “Husband doesn’t have to fight like this even if he wants to prove that his arm is fine.”
It’s been seen through, damn, her face in front of the princess… Although there may not be much left.
“Husband, if you really want to prove it,” Wei Yubing gave her advice with a smile, “I’m a little tired, why don’t my husband take me back?”
Carry Wei Yubing back?
Tang Yunian’s expression cracked.
Sorry, goodbye, she doesn’t prove it.
“I was joking with my husband,” Wei Yubing laughed dumbly, “How can my husband take it seriously?”
Just kidding! Then it’s fine.
Fortunately not true.
“I’m very embarrassed to rest on my husband’s arm for so long. If I let my husband hold me back again, wouldn’t I be too rude.”
There is really no rudeness. The main reason is that she has a large possibility of not being able to carry the princess. Even if she does, she may fall down. In the end, there is a big trouble. What if the princess accidentally discovers her identity?
It is risky to hold someone, so prove to be cautious. At this time, face can be put aside for the time being. With this thought in my heart, I heard the princess say another sentence, “But my husband is really tired, I can take my husband back home.”
Tang Yunian: “…”
“My husband doesn’t believe me?” Wei Yubing said, “Looking at my husband’s body shape, I will never throw my husband to the ground, please rest assured.”
I won’t worry if you don’t throw me to the ground, okay?
She, who is now Wei Yubing’s husband in name, can’t hold her own wife, but should she be held instead? !
Tang Yunian didn’t take her too seriously. Anyway, she didn’t believe that the princess could pick her up. How could this be possible? The princess is weaker than herself. If you can’t hold such a weak princess, the princess will not even think about it.
“Husband, won’t the concubine enter the house?”
I didn’t understand why Wei Yubing suddenly changed his name. Tang Yunian turned around and saw that Mammy Li, Yunxiang, Baizhi, Dongxue, and Qiulan were standing in front of the courtyard, and Yunxiang had half of her foot already. stepped in.
Looking at each other, Li Ma, Yunxiang and others turned to the lush sycamore tree on the far right. Some people looked at the top of the tree, while others looked at the trunk.
Did they all listen. Tang Yunian thought desperately, at this moment, she could not wait to get into the cracks in the ground to relieve the embarrassment, and heard the princess behind her say warmly, “Consort, go in quickly.”
“Mmmm.” Tang Yunian stepped forward quickly, almost burst into tears with excitement, the princess was really kind to her. In addition to eating and sleeping, he also left the mess to the princess to clean up.
The most important thing is that she didn’t even fulfill her husband’s responsibilities, but the princess didn’t dislike it at all. Don’t laugh at her poor stamina. Woohoo, the princess is simply the best person in the world.
The princess and the concubine entered the room one after the other. After a long while, Yunxiang said, “Mammy, do you now know what the maid was worried about in the morning?”
It is false to hear others, but it is true to hear it with one’s own ears. Mammy Li couldn’t wait for a moment, dragged her aged body and hurried to the kitchen.
It seems that she is wrong to blame the concubine, just relying on the body and bones of the concubine, even if she really wants to, she is determined but powerless. It was also her fault that she only remembered that the princess was working hard yesterday, but she never thought that the concubine was also working hard.
So when it was time for dinner, Tang Yunian was surprised to find that there were many dishes on the table that she hadn’t seen before. At the same time, it is strange that Li Ma, who dismissed Qiulan Dongxue, was going to prepare food for herself.
How can she be? It’s okay to let Qiulan and Dongxue gouou serve vegetables in the past day, but how embarrassing is to ask a grandmother who is so many years older to serve her vegetables.
“Mammy Li,” seeing Wei Yubing’s expression, it seemed like he didn’t want to stop it, Tang Yunian got up and said, “You can go and have dinner, I can do it myself.”
“It’s not hard work, old slave.” Mammy Li pressed Tang Yunian back with her big rough hand, and continued to say attentively, “Consort, just sit down.”
The problem is that you are so wrong that you dare not move at all! Tang Yunian sat at the table with a stiff smile as she watched Mammy Li busy cooking vegetables and soup.
“Consort,” Wei Yubing finally said, “Mama Li just wants to serve you a meal, don’t be nervous.”
Is it really? For the first time in his life, Tang Yunian had some doubts about what Wei Yubing said, because Wei Yubing seemed to have the word “watching a play” written all over his face.
Here, Mammy Li has already prepared the dishes and put them in Tang Yunian’s bowl. Looking at Mama Li’s expectant eyes, Tang Yunian held up the bowl with trepidation, and nervously picked up chopsticks to pick up a small piece. Tang Yunian glanced at Take a look.
This delicacy that was eaten directly in the stomach on weekdays is now extremely difficult to deliver to the mouth.
“Prince-in-law, hurry up and eat!” Li Ma’s mouth became anxious, wishing to eat it for Tang Yunian.
Although it was slow, Tang Yunian still entered.
After eating it, Tang Yunian smacked his lips and looked happy. It turned out that she was not making fun of herself, but she was overhearted, “It’s delicious, mammy, what is this?”
“Eat more if the concubine likes it.” Mammy Li scooped another spoonful for her.
Since it was delicious, Tang Yunian took the spoon from Mammy Li, “Princess, you can try it too.”
“Princess, she doesn’t need it.” Wei Yubing didn’t speak, while Li Ma took the spoon directly, her voice very nervous.
Why? Tang Yunian wondered, “This dish is delicious.”
“Princess she…” Mammy Li struggled to spit out a few words.
“I don’t like to eat this.” Wei Yubing said.
“Don’t like it?” Tang Yunian was even more confused. She thought that the princess didn’t like to eat such a delicious food. Well, everyone’s taste is different, she didn’t force it.
“That’s right, that’s right,” Mammy Li found her voice now. “It’s because the princess doesn’t like to eat, so no one cooks in the kitchen.”
Tang Yunian nodded and understood, but she asked one more question, “Princess, do you not like to eat, or do you not even want to watch?” If it is the latter, she can go back to her yard alone for this dish next time. Eat it!
“No.” Wei Yubing smiled, “I just don’t eat it.”
In this way, Tang Yunian could eat with peace of mind.
“Consort Li,” Mammy Li’s attention was still on her side, “if you like it, just eat it.”
She liked it very much, although the dish didn’t seem that good-looking, Tang Yunian lowered his head and continued to taste it happily. I didn’t notice that Mammy Li breathed a sigh of relief.
After dinner, Mammy Li brought out another pot of soup. It looked dark and didn’t smell good. Tang Yunian asked, “Mama Li, what is this?”
How come today there are some things that have never been tasted before.
“This!” With the experience just now, Madam Li is already very skilled. “This is a special product of the old slave’s family. It was brought over by someone a few days ago. It was specially made today, just to give the concubine a taste of it.”
Mammy Li, she really can’t adapt to the sudden change in your style and character.
Quietly moving away from the soup, Tang Yunian smiled with difficulty, “Mama Li, if you have anything, just tell me directly?” You don’t need to go so hard to please yourself, what’s the problem? , If you can help, she will definitely make a move.
“Prince Consort,” said Madam Li, “what are you talking about? This old slave just remembers that there is delicious food at home, and Mrs. Consort, don’t you like it too?”
“Who would have known that this old slave’s intentions fell into your eyes and turned into this meaning.”
Can’t she eat?
Tang Yunian couldn’t hold back.
In the next instant, Mammy Li filled a large bowl and brought it to her.
“Mama Li,” Tang Yunian said, “I have eaten so much just now that I can’t drink it.”
“Prince Consort, it’s often said that you should drink soup after a meal. That’s how much. You, a big man, can’t have such a small appetite.”
She is not a big man. Besides, even if she is compared with men, her appetite is not low, right?
But the soup had already been brought to him, so Tang Yunian could only drink it bravely, stirring for a long time with a spoon, Tang Yunian found that Wei Yubing was staring at her to eat, with a subtle expression, Tang Yunian coughed, “Princess Lord. drink?”
“Princess, she doesn’t like drinking this.” Li Ma said hurriedly. Wei Yubing also nodded.
Then she should drink alone. It’s just this taste, pinching his nose and biting his head, Tang Yunian took a sip.
How bitter!
Tang Yunian stuck out his tongue, this is like the dishes just now, one is in the sky and the other is in the ground, it’s too bitter, right?
