July 23rd, Yun Buhui’s birthday has arrived again.
She is not a person who likes to be extravagant. Last year, the prince and the princess were not in the palace, leaving Cheng Mubai to do the work, so there was a beautiful scene full of lotus lanterns. This year, there are many things, the palace has been in turmoil, and Yun Buhui has been in a bad mood recently. The princess proposed to help her
A big birthday party was held to celebrate Yun Buhui's excuse that he needed to take care of his health and was unwilling to work hard, so the princess stopped mentioning it.
On his birthday, gifts were sent from every room in the house.
The princess sent a pair of bracelets, and Concubine Yun and Lou Yanran gave them separately. Concubine Yun gave a pair of jade Ruyi, Lou Yanran gave a piece of fine Yun brocade, Nanyuan gave a bottle of fragrant powder, and Beiyuan gave
A Jade Guanyin. Yuzhi, Yuwu, Yurong, and Yumei also sent some small gifts. They all sent them over early in the morning. Yun Buhui asked Lingxi and Lingxin to each hold a jar of Biluochun to thank them for their kindness.
.
Bingyue recorded the things delivered and put them in the warehouse. She asked Yun Buhui with a smile, "Miss, what did the prince give you?"
She didn't pay attention to the environment when she asked, and didn't realize that Cheng Mubai was behind her. She just heard Cheng Mubai smile and reply, "The prince belongs to your young lady, what else do you need to give?"
Yun Buhui smiled slightly, Bingyue stamped her feet, collected the things and went to the warehouse. Cheng Mubai sat next to her and said, "Madam, you are one year older."
She touched her face and said with emotion, "Yes, I am one year older and I am getting older."
"How could it be? My husband looks so supple and tender." Cheng Mubai pinched her cheeks, his fingers were smooth, he smiled like a picture, and her mood also became more relaxed. Yun Buhui tilted his head and asked with a smile, "Husband,
Where’s the gift?”
"I've given you my whole life." He lied, and Yun Buhui gave him a look. She knew that Cheng Mubai had been busy recently and had no time to prepare gifts. She was also considerate. She was not a newlywed, so she just wanted to be considerate. As Cheng Mubai said,
His whole being belongs to her, and it doesn't matter what he gives him.
The two had breakfast, and Cheng Mubai took her to the backyard. Lingxi, Lingxin and others were about to follow, but he sent her away. Seeing that he was mysterious, Bingyue asked Jingnan what surprises the prince had prepared.
Jing Nan was the most silent one, not saying a word. Bingyue stepped on him and was about to follow her quietly. Lingxi held her back and shook her head with a smile. Bingyue then gave up.
There is a green grassland not far from the North Garden of the palace, full of greenery, and across the river is the spring crabapple forest. Although he has said goodbye, the scenery is still charming. He pulled her to stop in the middle of the grass, "Close your eyes."
Yun Buhui was confused, so he kissed her forehead and coaxed her and said, "Close your eyes and wait until I ask you to open them, then you can open them again."
"Okay." She said with a smile, lowered her voice, and closed her eyes obediently. She heard his footsteps walking away, and after a while she heard him coming back. Yun Buhui thought to himself, what else would he give her?
Such a surprise.
"Can you open your eyes?"
"Wait a little longer." Cheng Mubai said. He seemed a little angry and cursed something in a low voice. Yun Buhui couldn't laugh or cry. After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, she heard Cheng Mubai's high-spirited voice, "That's it."
Yun Buhui opened his eyes and saw Cheng Mubai flying a kite string. Cheng Mubai motioned for her to look up. Yun Buhui looked up and saw a very big kite. The kite was made into a human shape, which was very unique. The face was painted.
Yes, those eyebrows were very familiar, and the hairstyle was even more familiar. Yun Buhui's heart palpitated, it was her. The kite was her in human form, with a line of words on the side of the wings.
I wish to have the person of my heart, and we will never be apart from each other until we grow old together.
The character was written with flying dragons and phoenixes, vigorous and powerful.
She wishes to find the person she loves and stay together forever. This is what she has always hoped for. She hopes that someone can accompany her through this period of life and never leave her.
"Xiao Bai..." She was so moved that he could always easily see her uneasiness, always easily give her the promise she wanted most, and always tell her with actions that he would be there in the unknown future.
Let's walk together without fear.
"Silly girl, come here and give it a try." Cheng Mubai said with a smile. Yun Buhui went over, took his place, and ran with the kite. Cheng Mubai taught her how to take up the line, release the line, and how to fly the kite so that it would not fall.
"Did you do it yourself?"
"Of course, how's the craftsmanship?"
Yun Buhui smiled, "It's good, but why did you paint me so ugly?"
Cheng Mubai was confused and stared at the sky, "I think I painted you well."
Yun Buhui was angry and hit him with his free hand. The two of them laughed and laughed. Cheng Mubai said, "I originally planned to draw another one and put it on top, but then I felt that the technique was too difficult, so I just drew one person."
"That's great!" She smiled, her eyebrows turned into moons, and the most beautiful smile bloomed on her face. Cheng Mubai was also happy, hugging her from behind, and they flew the kite together. Yun Buhui's face heated up and his eyes turned.
Just let him go if there is no one around.
"Xiaobai, you are so kind." Yun Buhui turned around, pecked him on the lips, and smiled like a flower, "You always give me so many surprises."
"That's who I am. It's only natural to make my wife happy." Cheng Mubai accepted her praise without humility, and countless little flowers of happiness bloomed in his heart. Yun Buhui said, "I wish to have the same person, Bai
We will never leave each other, Xiaobai, don’t betray me in this life.”
Cheng Mubai held her hand and said in a deep voice, "If I let myself down, I won't let you down either."
"Wrong, don't let anyone down." She said seriously. Cheng Mubai smiled and rubbed the top of her head lovingly, "My wife has your destiny, I dare not disobey it."
Yun Buhui looked at the kite in the sky and thought that this gift was really unique. She was just like the kite and Cheng Mubai was the thread. He would hold her forever. He would show her more scenery and a broader world.
The sky, but when she is tired, she can return to his arms without restraint. She is the kite and he is the string.
Even if the line is cut off one day, she believes that he can pick it up.
I wish to have the person of my heart, and we will never be apart from each other until we grow old together.
The most profound promise in her life was nothing more than this, and she was content.
"Xiao Bai, I came back late a few days ago and was mysterious, just to make this kite." Yun Buhui asked with a smile, Cheng Mubai nodded, she smiled, this thought is the most important, nothing else is important.
"I find that I like you more and more, what should I do?" Yun Buhui asked, how can a person have no bottom line when he likes another person? It seems that no matter how much he likes him, he is not enough, no matter how good he is to him, he can't get enough, and he wants to lose his soul.
Bring them all up.
This is such a scary feeling.
But there are so many of them, but I enjoy them like glutinous rice.
"Then I'll always like it. I like it to the extreme." Cheng Mubai said.
Yun Buhui said, "I feel worthless."
"Madam, your mouth is so sweet today." Cheng Mubai smiled angrily, making her happy. Yun Buhui glared at him with a charming look, which made his heart flutter. After Cheng Mubai was satisfied, he felt a little dissatisfied.
I asked a question very seriously, "No regrets, I think you are a bit perfunctory with me."
Yun Buhui asked, "Why did I perfuse you?"
"When it was your birthday, I prepared so well for you. Last time it was a lotus lantern, but this time it's something unique. It's not good for you to just buy a jade pendant to deal with it." Cheng Mubai said seriously, Yun Buhui blinked and looked at it.
He, Cheng Mubai, nodded heavily again, "Well, this is not good."
Yun Buhui looked at the jade pendant he wore on his waist. This blood jade was hard to find. She had spent a lot of time looking for it, but he was still not satisfied? Cheng Mubai chuckled and said, "Madam, I will also give it to my husband this year."
Order a unique gift.”
"How vulgar is this?" Yun Buhui asked while flying the kite. Cheng Mubai blinked. To be honest, he really liked this jade pendant. He wore it everywhere and was inseparable. It was given to him by Buhui. He
He also knew that such a blood jade was hard to find, and he couldn't be happier. However, didn't he just want this year's gift to be more unique?
Yun Buhui glared at him, "You're kicking your nose in the face, wait."
With such a big kite rising in the mansion, everyone can see it, including the princess. Yu Zhi and Yu Wu are accompanying her to enjoy the flowers on the Blue Moon Corridor. Concubine Li, Concubine Yu, and Lou Yanran are all there.
, everyone felt very strange when they saw such a big and colorful kite.
Concubine Jade pointed to the words on the kite and said, "I wish to have the person of my heart, and we will never be apart until we grow old together. Haha, these are the words of the Crown Prince, right?"
Yuzhi nodded heavily, looking a little excited, "It's my brother's calligraphy. The portrait must be of my sister-in-law. My brother must have made the kite. Today is my sister-in-law's birthday."
Concubine Li said, "No wonder, I wonder why the prince has the heart to fly a kite. The prince and the prince have been married for almost two years, and they are still inseparable. Their relationship is really good."
Yuzhi said, "My brother and his sister-in-law have a very good relationship, and the eldest brother and his sister-in-law are also very close to each other. Recently, the eldest brother has been staying with his sister-in-law in the house, and the business has been left to the third brother, but he is very busy."
Lou Yanran's face turned slightly red, a little shy.
Yu Wu smiled sweetly, and everyone talked and laughed. The princess raised her head and looked at the kite in the sky, thoughtfully. Lou Yanran's body was broken, and she became tired after not being able to sit for a long time. She got up and said goodbye and went back to rest. Concubine Li said, "Yanran
This baby is probably a boy. I heard that boys are very troublesome. I haven’t seen the last baby for two months, so why bother. This baby is incredible. I see that her complexion has been very poor recently. I heard from Concubine Yun that she is always unhappy at night.
OK, palpitations and night sweats."
Concubine Yu said, "Pregnant women are like this. Just take good supplements."
The princess's mind was far away, she only looked at the kite and remained silent.
In the blink of an eye, it was the beginning of August. Lou Yanran was two months old and her belly had not yet been seen. She looked no different than usual. Cheng Youtian felt sorry for her hard pregnancy and specially hired a doctor to take care of her body. All the good and expensive sperm were sent to Xiyuan.
Lou Yanran's complexion looks much better.
Yun Buhui recently helped the princess take care of the daily affairs of the house. A few months had passed since Lou Yanran's incident, and now she had a miscarriage. The incident was slowly forgotten. The prince was reluctant to let the princess work too hard, so he acquiesced to Yun Buhui's return.
Participate in all matters of the government at once.
On this day, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were looking at the purchasing accounts in the pavilion in Xiyuan, and found that 800 taels were missing. This was not a small amount. Concubine Li was doing the daily purchasing, and Concubine Yun was doing the other purchases.
She is not regretful and attentive, and reads the accounts very seriously. She doesn't care about some minor mistakes, but eight hundred taels is not a small amount. What did Concubine Yun do with the money?
This amount of money started to be owed in the middle of last month. The government usually checks the accounts at the beginning of the month, but she didn't make up for it. Eight hundred taels is not a small amount, but for Concubine Yun, having to come up with eight hundred taels is not a small problem.
The princess said, "I will go to Xiyuan later and ask. She is usually greedy for a small amount of money. It is unreasonable for her to move such a large amount of money and not make up for it."
Yun Buhui said, "Mother, don't get angry yet. I'll go ask Aunt Yun later."
When Yun Buhui went to Xiyuan, Concubine Yun went out. Lou Yanran happened to take a nap and was eating snacks in the pavilion. Seeing Yun Buhui, he invited her to come over to keep her company. After becoming pregnant, Lou Yanran's mood was obviously much calmer.
I don't know whether she still has any resentment in her heart, but at least she seems to be at peace with her on the surface.
The doctor told her not to drink too much tea, but the milk she drank had a strong aroma. Yun Buhui sat down and took a bite of the hibiscus cake, which was particularly refreshing and delicious. It was a good snack to relieve the heat in the hot summer.
"What do you want from your mother?" Lou Yanran asked. Yun Buhui glanced at Qiu Shuang. Lou Yanran asked Qiu Shuang to go about her business. She poured Yun Buhui a glass of milk lotion. Yun Buhui said, "In the middle of last month, Yun Buhui said
My aunt moved eight hundred taels and failed to make up for it, so my mother asked me to come over and ask, do you know about this?"
Lou Yanran did not show any panic, she looked calm, and just smiled lightly. Yun Buhui knew in her heart that she knew the situation. Yun Buhui asked, "What's going on? There are no expenses in the house, yours
The supplements were all sent by my mother, and Aunt Yun had nowhere to ask for money, so why did she take so much money and keep it for herself?"
The cool breeze was blowing slowly, with a hint of heat. Lou Yanran fanned slightly. Without hesitation, she said, "There is something you may not know. Recently, my mother pawned most of her jewelry and valuable belongings. That day I heard
Jixiang came back in a hurry and let it slip. There must be something wrong with her natal family and they needed to raise money urgently. She couldn't do anything about it. You know that the mother's natal family has become more and more difficult to live in in the past few years, and they have to rely on their laurels to maintain their appearance. There is nothing that the mother can do.
It's up to her, she has to find a way to raise money. In the past twenty years of living in the palace, she has saved a lot of private money and a lot of jewelry, and she has taken it all out. I thought she wanted to ask me to borrow money, but I
After the pregnancy, she was sarcastic and sarcastic to me, and probably didn't want to ask me for it at the moment, so she didn't ask me for it. Her natal family was in trouble, and she had to rely on her pawns to support it, so it would be embarrassing to tell her, and she was so proud, so she didn't
I didn’t tell Youtian that the eight hundred taels should be used as supplies to her parents’ family.”
"As for that?" Yun Buhui frowned, "I remember that the Yun family also sells silk. The business has been sluggish recently and no one's funds can be transferred. The palace also has a silk business. She can just say hello to Cheng Youtian and let Cheng Youtian
She was taking care of the Yun family's business, which was his maternal uncle's house. She couldn't just sit idly by as there was no need for her to raise money. She could just use her private money to support her parents' family, but her mother was very taboo about misappropriating her own money. If she knew
, the consequences would be disastrous. It wouldn’t be that difficult for Cheng Youtian’s son to speak."
Lou Yanran smiled slightly, "Didn't we have a fight a few months ago? My mother also beat Youtian, and the two have not reconciled yet. I thought that after having a child, the mother and son could reconcile. Who knew that there would be another one?
Sample."
"Concubine Yun side beat him, why?" Yun Buhui asked. Lou Yanran didn't seem to want to say anything, and she didn't continue to ask, but she was confused. It had been a few months, and Lou Yanran had another child. She needed to take care of it.
The conflict between Concubine Yun and Cheng Youtian is not difficult. Why doesn't she reconcile?
Yun Buhui's eyes were sharp, but Lou Yanran was very calm, "I know what you want to say, yes, I did it on purpose. I was pregnant at that time, and you didn't hear what she said about me, the sarcastic words, the sarcastic remarks, from childhood to adulthood,
My mother has never said that to me, so why should she? Youtian used to listen to her in everything, but now he rarely listens to me, coaxing me, doting on me, so why should I give half of him to his mother."
Yun Buhui was shocked and gave half of it to his mother? What does this mean? Yun Buhui had a headache. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is indeed the greatest knowledge in the world, so his son only had a sandwich cake.
"Your idea is not good. Without Aunt Yun, where would Cheng Youtian be? The family is harmonious and peaceful. This is more important than anything else." Yun Buhui said that it was rare for her to say such thoughtful words to Lou Yanran.
Lou Yanran sneered, "Princess treats you like a daughter, so naturally you can't feel my pain."
"You can't see my pain either." Yun Buhui thought of the child, and his heart ached. Lou Yanran was surprised and asked, "Isn't the princess treating you very well?"
Yun Buhui smiled bitterly, "Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite."
Lou Yanran stopped talking, and Yun Buhui came back to her senses, "What should we do about this? Why don't you make up the money for her?"
"Why should I make up for her?" Lou Yanran sneered.
Yun Buhui said, "I listen to my mother. If the money is made up, it won't be a big problem. She won't pursue it. If Aunt Yun is punished, Xiyuan's life will not be easy, so why should you? If she
Seeing me fill it up for her and then misappropriating it next month, I can’t even fill this bottomless pit.”
Lou Yanran was unwilling and unwilling, and her considerations were not unreasonable. Yun Buhui hit the snake seven inches, "Think about it, if you make up for this money for Aunt Yun, when you talk to Cheng Youtian later, Cheng Youtian will get
Think about it, my daughter-in-law is so considerate and lovely. Her mother treats her so well, and she can repay her with kindness. Now that you are pregnant again, doesn’t he treat you even more like a jewel? She is afraid that it will melt even if she holds it in her mouth, Yun
My aunt is not a hard-hearted person, so she will be moved. If she does not repent and still misappropriates money next month, you tell Cheng Youtian and ask Cheng Youtian to come forward. You have picked up a good person for nothing, and it can also enhance the relationship between husband and wife.
Feelings, why not do it?"
Lou Yanran frowned. She had never thought about what Yun Buhui said, but she was always unwilling to do so. Yun Buhui said, "Think about the child, and accumulate blessings for the child."
Her eyes flashed, and she clenched her hands slightly. Her child was her biggest weakness. Yun Buhui knew that her words meant everything, so he had nothing to say and just waited for Lou Yanran to make a decision. Lou Yanran ate slowly.
After taking a bite of snacks, she called Qiu Shuang and asked her to go to the warehouse to get eight hundred taels of silver notes. Qiu Shuang went down and brought the banknotes over after a while, and Lou Yanran gave them to Yun Buhui.
"Just this once." Lou Yanran said.
Yun Buhui was relieved to see that the matter was resolved, "Of course it's just once, you'll know what to do next time."
Lou Yanran hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing and watched Yun Buhui leave.
Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite, and Yun Buhui's life seems not to be easy either.
Forget it, maybe she just said it casually, what could she be in trouble for? Her mother-in-law loves her, her husband dotes on her, and her sister-in-law respects her. What a perfect home. Lou Yanran calmed down and caressed her gently.
She is no longer envious of her bulging belly, nor is she jealous, because she has it, but Yun Bu regrets not having it.
Yun Buhui returned to Dongyuan, gave the banknote to the princess, and passed it on lightly. The princess didn't want to cause more trouble, so she didn't pursue it. Yun Buhui breathed a sigh of relief. The princess asked, "Have you met Lou Yanran?"
"Well, I'm looking good lately." Yun Buhui said. The princess hummed and asked her to sit down. Yun Buhui sat down obediently. The princess stepped back and slowly turned the lid of the cup. The fragrance of tea lingered, and Yun Buhui was inexplicable.
became nervous.
"Buhui, there is something I want to discuss with you to see what you mean." The princess spoke very slowly, looking at Yun Buhui with a heavy look in her eyes. Yun Buhui became more and more nervous, but with a smile on her face.
Get up and say, "Mother, please speak."
The princess said, "Du Juan, remember, the one who committed suicide after getting pregnant."
"Of course I remember." Yun Buhui said.
The princess nodded, "Several young masters in the mansion, Mu Bai, Youtian and Mu Dong, all have two personal maids. They are actually the maids. Du Juan was originally Cheng Youtian's maid. Later, when she got pregnant, she did not want to become a maid.
Concubine?"
Yun Buhui's face turned pale, and he slowly retracted his hands into his sleeves, clenching them tightly, and his nails pricked his hands, "Yes, but it's a pity that before it was too late, she had a miscarriage and committed suicide."
"Yes, it's a pity." The princess said slowly and took a sip of tea. Yun Buhui's heart felt like it was being squeezed. The slower she went, the more nervous she became. She knew what the princess was going to say. The princess said
, "That's what I think. I have watched these two girls, Lingxi and Lingxin, grow up since I was a child. They have been waiting in Mubai's room. Mubai also said in the early years that he likes these two girls very much and intends to take them as side wives.
, I felt at that time that it was only in line with the rules to accept a side wife if there was a main wife. The two girls also knew about this. Now that you have been married for almost two years, Mu Bai should take care of this matter and accept two people at once.
I think you're not happy either, so let's go with Lingxi. This girl is smart, steady and generous. I think she gets along well with you, what do you think?"
