Miantang lowered her head and was engrossed in his writing until Cui Xingzhou turned around and pinched her nose before regaining consciousness.
“What are you writing about? When will someone be promoted or demoted? Why do you even have monthsary banquet or housewarming dinner?”
After Cui Xingzhou returned from the government, he didn’t want to talk about his official affairs with Miantang, let alone the fact that he was given a cold shoulder in the government office today.
He has always been the person who solves any difficult matters on his own, not to mention that Miantang was still pregnant, let alone letting her feel troubled.
“When arriving at a new place, I naturally need to be familiar with the personnel in the lower government. I’m afraid that I will forget it for a moment, so I write it down.”
Seeing that he didn’t want to say anything, Miantang tacitly didn’t ask and only served him sweet soup to drink.
Although Cui Xingzhou received a cold reception in the Military Division’s government office, when he returned home, he had hot soup to drink, and his beloved wife was in his arms. He felt that his luck was quite good.
Miantang has been feeling a bit pregnant lately, with a slightly swollen belly, but still has slender limbs. If she wears a looser dress, she doesn’t look pregnant.
Cui Xingzhou hugged her and kissed her, saying in a low voice, “The doctor said that you are stable now. Can you let me have a good taste tonight?”
Miantang’s ears were tickled by him, and she couldn’t help but sneer. She also hugged him and whispered, “Then you should put more strength in it and make it smooth…'”
Cui Xingzhou raised his eyebrows, only feeling that if such a woman meets a serious husband, he should tighten her skin and teach her what was called women’s virtue.
However, he was not a gentleman, and he likes such spirits. He was not tired of eating them.
So that night, after nearly three months of vegetarianism, Cui Xingzhou was finally able to have a good taste. When the willow was hanging on top in the middle of the night, he was then able to let go of her soft and tender body.
Miantang was in his arms, tired and ready to take a good sleep. However, before going to bed, she remembered one thing and vaguely said, “Is tomorrow the day for taking a rest in court? Our sister said, the new house of the Qingguo Mansion has just been repaired, and tomorrow we could go and congratulate them. It seems that the Qingguo Residence is about to make a grand invitation. Can you come with me tomorrow?'”
Although the sister has been married to the Duke of Qingguo for a long time, Cui Xingzhou and the Duke of Qingguo are not very familiar. It was just that the Duke of Qingguo and his father are old friends, and the two families have made marriage arrangements since young, which only facilitated the marriage.
Now that the Huaiyang Residence and the Qingguo Residence are in the capital, it was natural to come and go frequently, and there was a need to take care of each other.
So Cui Xingzhou fed some warm water to Miantang, who was about to fall asleep and said, “Of course, I need to accompany you. Otherwise, although you have been to the capital before, you don’t know several acquaintances. If you go alone, and if your sister is too busy to take care of you, wouldn’t it be a cold shoulder?”
Miantang has never been afraid of being left out by others. She only whispered, “No one will pay attention to me. I will just go and give the gift, a plaque, and eat and drink. It’s easy and comfortable.”
Cui Xingzhou knew that what she was saying was actually from the bottom of her heart, and after a moment of silence, he said, “Life in the capital city is indeed not as pleasant as in the State of Zhen. It’s really bad to make you suffer with me. Tomorrow, I’ll buy you more shops in the capital city, so that you can have some fun.”
Miantang didn’t expect him to turn to the topic that had dragged her into suffering with him, and she just felt sweet in her heart. Although Cui Jiu on North Street was a liar at the beginning, the thoughtful husband who touched her heart has always been there.
However, when he said he wanted to buy a shop for herself, he was too ambitious, “The tenant farmers in the State of Zhen Manor haven’t been paid yet, and the cattle and sheep haven’t gone out of the pen. The warehouse in the residence is now empty. They are all waiting for your salary to be put into storage. What can you buy a shop for? The expenses of the residence now are from my pocket!”
Cui Xingzhou raised his eyebrows and said, “So, are you raising me again?”
Miantang smiled and pinched his handsome face with a high nose, saying, “You look so good, and the bed skills are also served properly. People like you, I can raise a few more!”
Cui Xingzhou was not afraid that he was someone who rely on women. After all, he rewarded her with most of the fields and shops. Moreover, a man who has been raised from a pile of wealth and was able to eat on his own merits, even if he was not fortunate enough to be raised by others, he does not have the sensitive inferiority complex of a poor man.
But it’s not worth volunteering with a few more beautiful men. If she had the guts, he would have crushed it.
So it is necessary to bring this bold woman to trial again in his den.
For a moment, there were bursts of laughter in the curtain of the bedroom.
The next day, because Miantang had instructed Fangxie to remember waking her up in the morning, she woke up in time despite her bleary eyes.
Cui Xingzhou took her hand and said, “The Qingguo Residence is not far away, so why get up so early?”
Miantang simply reached out and hold onto his hand to get up, saying kindly, “Our sister is pregnant, and seems to be reacting very big recently. She has to manage both inside and outside when she moves to her new house. She’s a bit tired. Yesterday morning, when she came to our residence, she was quite embarrassed to ask me to help her check her accounts… I’ll go earlier and take care of her and see where she needs help.'”
In Miantang’s opinion, Cui Fu was a strong person. If she didn’t really can’t handle it, she wouldn’t show weakness and ask for help.
Miantang heard from Cui Fu that the legitimate son of the Duke of Qingguo was not someone who would favor his wife. However, there are too many connections between the couple, which means that outsiders should not interfere blindly.
Looking at Cui Fu’s face yesterday, Miantang was a bit worried. However, it was not easy to speak clearly to Cui Xingzhou to avoid provoking the relationship between the Prince and the Qingguo Residence.
So today, she only said that she was afraid that her sister would not be able to cope. If she could go over earlier to help, it can lessen her stress. Else, she was also afraid that Cui Fu would be too busy to breathe and accidentally move her fetal pressure.
Although she didn’t point it out, Cui Xingzhou listened and nodded. He didn’t lie in bed anymore, and followed her up.”.
However, while washing and dressing, Cui Xingzhou said, “You are both pregnant and an outsider. When you arrive at the Qingguo Residence, don’t rush to find work. Take Servant Li with you. Servant Li also took care of our sister when she was a child. She is also experienced in managing internal residence affairs. The old servant helping the old master, and no one can pick a fault.”
Miantang smiled and said, “Great mind thinks alike. Yesterday, I asked Servant Li to follow our sister back to the Qingguo Residence. At that time, I was still thinking about whether I might have done it too much. Now, hearing what you said, I’m relieved.”
When she smiled, her big eyes were slightly charming, as charming and cunning as a little fox.
Cui Xingzhou tied a golden crown to his bun and smiled at his little fox.
Speaking of it, the Duke of Qingguo was from a well-established aristocratic family. His ancestors were the founding fathers of the country. Several generations ago, two prime ministers emerged.
In this generation, Cui Fu’s father-in-law merely inherited the rank of her ancestors and made no achievements. Fortunately, Cui Fu’s husband, Guo Yi, was very competitive. He studied hard, and not only did he achieve fame in the exam, but also made steady progress. He entered the Capital and became an official in the court.
The reputation of Qingguo Residence has been revitalized again, and the front door of this new house is also quite lively.
When Miantang was helped off the carriage by Cui Xingzhou, many noblewomen in the capital recognized the Huaisang County Mayor.
She doesn’t know whether the soil and water in the State of Zhen were taken care of by whom. Whether men or women, they are increasingly bearing an extraordinary spirit of immortality.
“Princess Consort Huaiyang, long time no see, how are you?”
Just as Miantang took her seat in the Hall of the Duke of Qingguo, she heard a gentle greeting coming from the side. Miantang turned her head and saw that Princess Consort Sui, whom she had not seen for a long time, was smiling at her.
Miantang was slightly stunned and didn’t expect to meet Princess Consort Sui again here.
In the battle between the two princes, Prince Huaiyang’s chess pieces defeated the face of Prince Sui, allowing Princess Consort Sui’s carriage to be left in the downtown area, which damaged her reputation.
Prince Sui was also a cruel person. Not only did he not dislike Princess Consort Sui, but he also frequently traveled with her, making his love even stronger than before.
Such a young man’s mind of disregarding the gains and losses of beauty was not comparable to that of ordinary people. However, in this way, the rumor that Princess Consort Sui had lost her virtue and suffered losses was somewhat self-defeating.
Now that they have entered the capital, the rumors of the State of Hui have dissipated almost unheard of. At least in front of others, it’s not easy for anyone to pick up the secret scandal of Princess Consort Sui.
Although Prince Sui and Cui Xingzhou have already choked each other off, the way to socialize in the backyard still requires a walk through the scenes.
So Princess Consort Sui treated each other with courtesy, and Miantang naturally greeted each other with a smile. She only pretended not to see the fine lines that had suddenly appeared in the corners of Princess Consort Sui’s eyes, as well as the sadness that could not be hidden from her eyes, and only boasted that Princess Consort Sui was more glorious than before.
Princess Consort Sui smiled sheepishly and said, “Princess Consort Huaiyang praised me so much. If compared to color, it would naturally be your young and radiant… You and I are both new to the capital. I am not used to socializing, and my heart is full of fear. Seeing you, a familiar person, gives me some confidence.”
Miantang smiled slightly and didn’t want to be too friendly with Princess Consort Sui. She just casually said, “I heard that Prince Sui is the emperor’s uncle, and he has lived in the capital for much longer than my family. If Princess Consort Sui doesn’t have the confidence, outsiders like me wouldn’t dare to speak to anyone.”
“If Princess Consort Huaiyang is not familiar with the capital city, just speak up. We are both idle people. In the future, we will hold a tea banquet and give you a hot spot.” Just then, a heroic male voice came.
Miantang turned her head and saw that it was the returning leader, Prince Sui, who had arrived.
Liu Miantang has always been disgusted with this fake monk. If she was still somewhat hypocritical and polite with Princess Consort Sui, she doesn’t even bother pretending to be nice to this guy.
She only slowly gathered her smile and sarcastically said, “Prince Sui has recently been implicated in the case of your nephew and has not received an assignment. It is a pity that you indeed had some leisure compared to my husband. However, it can also be used to read classics and history to see what loyalty, integrity, and shame are, and it is also worth living up to time. As a woman, I dare not occupy the time of your study.”
Prince Sui didn’t seem to mind if his princess consort was on his side but deflected his body to block other people’s eyes and smiled like a tiger or a wolf at Liu Miantang, saying, “The eloquence of the Mayor of Huaisang County is really attractive. It would be even better if you could personally teach me what it means to be ashamed!”
He was a tall man with a tiger’s back and a bear’s waist. When he deliberately bends down towards Miantang, he has far exceeded the distance of politeness and is full of threat.
With a smile, Miantang suddenly reached out and pulled aside Princess Consort Sui, shaking her wrist.
As a result, Princess Consort Sui was unprepared, and the glass of wine in the glass was spilled on Prince Sui’s face.
Miantang then calmly called out and said, “Princess Consort Sui, I’m sorry, I accidentally bumped into you, causing you to pour wine all over Prince Sui’s face!'”
