654 The Delicate Relationship Between Mother-in-Law and Daughter-in-law
In the room, Chu Yiqing asked someone to prepare water and prepare for a pleasant bath.
When she gave birth to A Bao, she did not shy away from these things and took a bath during the confinement period. But this time, with Xu Zhi and Yingqian watching, and later Mrs. Huangfu, the whole confinement period was complete.
Son, he was not allowed to bathe until the end of the month.
During confinement, Li Huang was also busy, but after returning home, he still shared a bed with her and ignored the so-called taboos. However, even Chu Yiqing couldn't bear not taking a shower for a month, let alone others, so in the end
, it was Chu Yiqing who took the initiative to drive Li Huang out of the room. From that day on, Li Huang has been living in the study temporarily.
Chu Yiqing was lying comfortably in the tub, with Yingrun washing her hair carefully behind her. There were rose petals floating on the water, which were brought by Lady Ling Dang when she came to have a bath that day, and were kept in the greenhouse.
, it has not withered yet.
Looking at the rose petals, Chu Yiqing thought of the matter between Hua Qi and Lu Ningxin. He had not been able to take care of it these days. It seemed that he had to find a day to explain it clearly to Hua Qi.[
While she was washing, Dangui hurriedly walked in and said, "Madam, Miss Lu is here, but she's not here to see Madam. She said she was looking for Mr. Hua, and now Mr. Hua is accompanying her in the flower hall!"
When Cao Cao arrived, Chu Yiqing lay lazily on the tub. Dangui quickly took some loofah pulp and Chu Yiqing rubbed her back.
"Come on, come on, Hua Qi is not young anymore, he has something important in his heart!" Chu Yiqing squinted his eyes slightly.
Dangui responded and said nothing more. After a while, Chu Yiqing became a little drowsy. Just when he was about to tell Yingrun to get a change of clothes, he felt something was wrong with the person behind him.
, she turned around quickly, picked up a splash of water with her slender white arms, and struck at the man.
"Yiqing, it's me!" Li Huang shouted quickly, raising his hand to catch Yiqing's attack, but his body was splashed with water.
"Why did you come back early today? Seriously, you didn't let anyone inform you when you came back!" Chu Yiqing looked at him with a smile, seeing that the court clothes on his body had been splashed with water, and said: "Go and change your clothes quickly.
Come on, it’s all wet!”
"It's going to get wet sooner or later, it doesn't matter!" Li Huang ignored it at all, lying next to the tub, putting his arms deep into the tub, and rubbing Chu Yiqing's important parts.
Chu Yiqing blushed with embarrassment and whispered: "What did you do? Yingrun and Dangui went out? It seems that confinement made me dull, and I didn't even notice when they went out!"
"Isn't this better? At least it's not that tiring!" Li Huang smiled, his eyes dark, he touched the smooth skin under the water, and whispered, "It seems that I have gained some weight and gained some meat.
It feels more comfortable to ‘touch’!”
Chu Yiqing was embarrassed, and also knew that since she was pregnant, Li Huang would hold her to sleep every night, and there would be times when he was affectionate, but he was very strict and never refused to touch her. At most, he would take a cold shower, and
Today she is full of confinement...
"You go to bed and wait for me, so that I can dry myself off!" Chu Yiqing blushed with embarrassment and whispered.
Looking at the woman's rosy little face, Li Huang felt even more emotional. He took the bath towel beside him and gently wiped Chu Yiqing's hair. Then after Chu Yiqing stood up, he draped the bath towel over her body.
, he picked her up and walked to the bed.
Chu Yiqing said angrily: "Why are you so anxious? My body is still wet..."
Before he finished speaking, his lips were filled with tears.
Li Huang placed Chu Yiqing on the bed, and his movements were a little eager. Chu Yiqing suppressed a smile and let him kiss and touch him, and then suddenly asked in his ear: "These guys
Are you feeling suffocated? Have you ever thought about finding another woman?"
Li Huang did not answer, but punished Chu Yiqing with practical actions. It was not gentle but it was so passionate that Chu Yiqing hummed softly.
After a long time, the two bodies separated, but only gasping and no one could speak.
Li Huang let Chu Yiqing rest on his chest, then covered her with a quilt and just lay there quietly, playing with her hair.
Chu Yiqing is also a little sleepy. She hasn't practiced Kung Fu for a long time and her body is also lazy. It seems that tomorrow she will climb a mountain to practice Kung Fu with A Bao! [
"Today my concubine went to the palace to see my father!" Finally, Li Huang spoke in a low voice.
Chu Yiqing was startled and raised her eyes to look at him, "Has the mother-in-law entered the palace?"
Li Huang nodded, "I'm afraid my father's illness is getting worse. Xiao Fuzi said that he always wakes up calling his mother's name in the middle of the night..."
Chu Yiqing sighed, "If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place! How is your mother and concubine? Are you willing to return to the palace?"
Li Huang shook his head and whispered: "The mother-in-law requested a secret edict from the emperor to give her a new identity. Zheng Ji, the concubine of the Zheng family. With that secret edict, even if the mother-in-law's identity is exposed in the future, the emperor's concubine will be
"There's nothing you can do about your mother-in-law and the imperial uncles!"
When Chu Yiqing heard the name Zheng Ji, his heart moved. He quickly stood up and asked, "So, your mother and concubine are going to enter the house?"
Li Huang nodded, but was afraid that Chu Yiqing would be unhappy, so he quickly said: "You have done so much for her, don't worry, the mother and concubine know it in her heart, not to mention she just wants to see her two children!"
Chu Yiqing couldn't express her feelings. She respected Concubine Qing, but since the last incident, her relationship with Concubine Qing seemed to have returned to the past. There was a grudge, but this was her son's home after all...
After all, Chu Yiqing felt that maybe the reason why he grew up in an angel organization was because he didn't know how to run a family, let alone how to maintain a relationship with this ancient concubine and mother-in-law!
"You don't want to?" Li Huang stroked her back and asked in a low voice.
"No, I just didn't expect..." Chu Yiqing whispered, "Originally, I wanted to go to Bieyuan to see my mother and concubine tomorrow with my blessings!"
"Actually, my mother-in-law will not be able to live with you in the future. My father has agreed to abdicate!" Li Huang said in a low voice.
Chu Yiqing turned to look at him, "So fast?"
Li Huang couldn't help but laugh, "I said give me some more time and I will give you a satisfactory answer! But your reaction seems...don't you want me to sit in that seat?"
"No, I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly!" Chu Yiqing whispered, "Your father doesn't seem to be someone who would compromise so easily!"
"He doesn't want to compromise, but his body is useless!" Li Huang raised his eyebrows slightly, "Besides, I am following the path he paved for me!"
Chu Yiqing recalled what Li had done over the years and couldn't help but smile. Although Li was the leader of a country, his personality was a bit strange, and the things he did were often hard to see through.
If he is really willing to abdicate this time, it will be settled once and for all. When Li Huang ascends the throne, she will no longer have these worries. She can also raise her children and farm at home. She just thinks about entering the palace and the rules in the palace.
, Chu Yiqing is a bit over-the-top.
As a concubine, she entered the capital. Fortunately, Li Huang had a mansion outside the palace. In addition, Li Youqiu was with her at the time, but he didn't make it difficult for her. However, when she really entered the palace, even if Li Huang was the emperor, the palace was still the palace after all.
, there are a lot of huge rules, and the Queen Mother and the concubines in the harem are not easy to deal with if they really cause trouble!
"What are you thinking about?" Li Huang saw Chu Yiqing's frown and couldn't help but hug her in his arms and asked in a low voice.
Chu Yiqing shook his head and whispered: "I'm just worried that you'll be too busy to come back!"
Li Huang laughed: "It is true that I have been a little busy these days, but now the overall situation has been decided. I don't have to stay in the palace every day. I will come back to accompany you every night in the future. How about that?"
As Li Huang said that, his hands became dishonest again.
Chu Yiqing was aroused by him and became interested. This night, he struggled several times and didn't fall asleep until dawn.[
Although he went to bed late, Li Huang still entered the palace before dawn and came back after the morning court. He said he was going to take Chu Yiqing and A Bao to give him blessings and go out for an outing. He said he hadn't gone out to breathe fresh air in a long time!
Chu Yiqing has not left home for a long time, and this trip is to a villa on the outskirts of the city. Chu Yiqing should be happy, but because he knew that Concubine Qing had a new identity as Zheng Ji, Chu Yiqing felt faintly in his heart.
Feeling a little uncomfortable, I immediately called Mrs. Huangfu to go with me.
Before reaching the gate of Bieyuan, Abao saw Concubine Qing and had already called out loudly.
When Concubine Qing heard A Bao's call, her face was naturally excited and she quickly took two steps forward.
Qing Fei was followed by Lu Ping.
"Grandma, I miss you so much!" Abao jumped down before the carriage stopped and rushed towards Concubine Qing. Concubine Qing's eyelids jumped and she kept complaining: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry."
, "Milk" and "Milk" are here, you said that as a child, if you want to "Milk" or "Milk", you have to wait for the carriage to stop, did you fall? "
Abao quickly shook his head and said with a smile: "My Qinggong is so good, how could I fall!"
Concubine Qing looked at A Bao's little face and couldn't help but kiss her. She kept saying, "A Bao and Nai Nai are the closest, and Nai Nai misses A Bao the most!"
Abao giggled, pulled Concubine Qing to see the blessing, and said, "In the future, 'grandma' will have a grandson to kiss!"
At this moment, Chu Yiqing had already got off the carriage, then took the blessing from Mrs. Huangfu's hand, walked up to Concubine Qing, blessed her and called her "Mother Concubine".
"Hurry and show me the blessing, my little sweetheart, but I miss you so much!" Concubine Qing quickly took the blessing from Chu Yiqing's hand, carefully opened the swaddling clothes, and took a look inside, the expression on her face was
The folds of his face burst into laughter.
"Come in quickly, the weather is still a bit cold here, especially the little blessing, don't let my eldest grandson get cold!" Concubine Qing said, and hurriedly walked towards the garden.
Concubine Qing walked in front, and Chu Yiqing followed behind and entered the garden.
There was a floor heater in the garden, but Concubine Qing was afraid of the cold, so she kept it on, but the room was warm. Concubine Qing sat on the bed holding her blessings, teasing her, laughing, and couldn't put it down.
"The concubine has been here for so many days, but I haven't come to pay her respects. It's not like she is the daughter-in-law!" Chu Yiqing took the opportunity to say.
"How can I pick on you when you are in confinement? It's because of my status that I can't go to the Prince's Mansion. If I could go, I would have gone there long ago. Do you know that I have A Bao and Blessing deeply in my heart?"
!" Concubine Qing said with a smile, but she didn't seem to be angry.
Chu Yiqing nodded, but there was nothing to say to Concubine Qing.
"When I came here, I heard from my parents that the child had accepted his birth. Did you suffer?" Concubine Qing had had enough teasing, so she smiled and asked Qing Qing.
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "I hope this child is as spiritual as A Bao when he was a child. Maybe he knows that I am tired and has stopped recognizing people for a long time. Now he is used to following the nanny!"
"That's good, that's good! This way I can rest assured!" As Concubine Qing said, she took out a pair of small gold bracelets from her arms, put them on carefully for the blessing, and whispered: "Little blessing
, this is a gift from "Mirror", "Mirror", you must wear it well and grow up in peace!"
Chu Yiqing hurriedly said: "Why does the mother-in-law spend so much money!"
Concubine Qing raised her face and smiled: "Yiqing, I want to thank you very much for giving birth to two big fat boys for Huang'er. I also know how much you care for me..."
Chu Yiqing was startled and said quickly: "Mother, you are welcome, we are all a family, why bother so much!"
Concubine Qing nodded, then turned to Mrs. Huangfu and said, "My family has been working hard these days!"
Old Mrs. Huangfu was also a hard-spoken and soft-hearted person. Before, she was angry when she saw that Concubine Qing only cared about the child in her belly and ignored her. But now she saw Concubine Qing taking the initiative to say nice things. She also knew that Concubine Qing
Naturally, he didn't dare to overestimate his identity and status, so he said: "Look at what the in-laws said, it's all for the sake of the children. Why don't you work hard?"
Concubine Qing nodded and said with a smile: "Now that I have asked the emperor for a secret decree, I can keep an eye on the two children from now on, so I won't bother my in-laws!"
Mrs. Huangfu was happy when she didn't expect Concubine Qing to say this suddenly. She was startled and immediately asked: "What do you mean by in-laws?"
"I know that my in-laws are not worried about the truth, so they came all the way from Chuhan, but this married daughter is just thrown away. How can there be a mother who lives with her daughter in her son-in-law's house, especially this royal family?
No! In-laws, now that Yiqing is a person with status, everything needs to be paid more attention to. Now I can also go out and walk around. From now on, I will be by Yiqing's side to guide her, so don't worry!" Concubine Qing said with a smile.
.
Although Concubine Qing said this with a smile, it sounded different to Mrs. Huangfu. She was worried about her daughter, so she came all the way to Chu Han. After Concubine Qing said this, she, her godmother,
, which makes Chu Yiqing embarrassed. He can't be by her side to help her, can he?
Chu Yiqing also frowned slightly, but Concubine Qing was an elder, so she couldn't directly contradict her, so he smiled and said: "A'bao is the one who looks after me for me. Besides, even if there is a nanny, then nanny
As an outsider, with my mother watching, I feel more at ease!"
Concubine Qing said with a smile: "That was in the past. At that time, you were raising a child alone and had to make a living. It was naturally harder. It was human nature to have relatives to help you take care of A Bao. But it is different now. Now you are the prince.
Concubine, there are many maids and women around you, so you don’t have to show your face every day. You just need to help manage the inner room and take care of the children. Plus, I can help you..."
Concubine Qing wants Chu Yiqing to be a good wife and mother who takes care of her husband and raises her children!
Chu Yiqing smiled slightly and raised his eyes to look at Concubine Qing: "Concubine Mother said just now that I worked hard and gave birth to two big fat boys for the Li family. Now she started to blame my daughter-in-law, but she didn't think so.
, women are born just to be wives and good wives and mothers!”
Concubine Qing was startled. She didn't seem to expect that Chu Yiqing would guard Mrs. Huangfu and contradict her. Her face looked a little ugly.
"Mom is tired too, so let me hug her!" Chu Yiqing stepped forward and gave her a blessing.
Seeing that Blessing was also taken away, Qing Fei was a little unhappy, but she still said: "Yiqing, I know you were unwilling to come back with Huang'er at the beginning, but now that you are back and you are living outside, do you know that this
The place where the prince lives should be the East Palace, and it should be in that palace. Now Huang'er runs back and forth every day. Not to mention the hard work, it is not easy to take care of anything in this palace! Now Huang'er is about to ascend the throne.
Emperor, please tell me, are you still living outside the palace?"
Chu Yiqing sneered. Concubine Qing might have been holding these words in her heart for too long, but now she finally found a chance to say them out.
Mrs. Huangfu's face was also dark, but if she got involved now, the relationship between Yiqing and Concubine Qing might become even more tense. The three of them were in a stalemate when they saw Li Huang bringing A Bao in. As soon as they entered
Wu Wu smelled an unusual atmosphere in the room and asked, "What's going on? Why are you all so serious?"
Abao also widened his eyes, looking at this and that.
"Huang'er, you came just in time. I was discussing with Yiqing about moving to the palace. You have to go to the palace early in the morning to attend court. You are really tired from running back and forth. Look at your face.
I even have dark circles under my eyes!" Concubine Qing quickly stepped forward and pulled Ah Bao into her arms, then raised her eyes and smiled at Li Huang.
Chu Yiqing looked back and glared at Li Huang. The dark circles under his eyes were not caused by rushing to the morning meeting. They were caused by Li Huang's hard work last night!
Li Huang chuckled and said: "Concubine, don't worry about this matter. I will arrange it naturally. Besides, it was my intention to live outside the palace in the first place. In that palace, it is easy to hide from hidden arrows.
By the way, I had just returned to the palace, and Yiqing was pregnant again. It would be safer to live outside the palace! After I ascend the throne, Yiqing will naturally move to the palace. The empress of the mother-in-law world does not live in the palace, she has to live in the palace.
Where?"
Li Huang said, then handed the blessing from Chu Yiqing's arms to Concubine Qing and said: "Concubine, you kiss your eldest grandson. Today, Yiqing and I will be lazy and let's go out for a walk.
, Yiqing hasn’t gone out for more than a month, so I just want to accompany her to relax!"
Before Concubine Qing could agree, Li Huang winked at Chu Yiqing and led Chu Yiqing out of the room.
"You are really good at making jokes!" Chu Yiqing smiled lightly, teasing Li Huang.
"I also know the mother-in-law's personality. The palace has made her suffer for so many years, but she just can't change her mind. I also know that you like freedom and don't like the restraint of the palace, but..." Li Huang shook his hand
He tightened Chu Yiqing's hand.
"I said, now that I'm married to you, I'm married to your family. Besides, if I want to leave, you won't be able to stay anywhere, and your little palace won't be able to trap me, so don't worry!
"Chu Yiqing smiled.
After saying this, Li Huang was relieved and looked at the river with thin ice floating on it and said, "If you get bored in the future, I will accompany you to stay here for a while!"
Chu Yiqing nodded, but added: "After entering the palace, you have to allow me to leave the palace at any time. If I want to walk around, you have to allow me! As for Yan Guan, you can handle it yourself, how about it?"
Li Huang smiled and said: "I know you can't sit still, don't worry, I promise you!"
Only then did Chu Yiqing become happy. The two of them stood by the river. Although the wind was still a bit cold, the knot in his heart was somewhat relieved.
In the evening, Concubine Qing insisted on letting A Bao and Blessing stay in the villa for a few days. Before Chu Yiqing could say anything, Li Huang said, "Concubine Qing, if Yi Qing stays, I will stay too. It's just that I won't leave tomorrow."
To go to the palace here, I’m afraid I’ll have to get up an hour early again!”
When Concubine Qing heard this, she quickly said: "Then go back quickly. It's not a day away anyway. I will pack my things tomorrow and move to the Prince's Mansion first!"
Li Huang had no choice but to respond.
Seeing Chu Yiqing going out with her blessings, Concubine Qing grabbed Li Huang and whispered: "Do you really want to make Yiqing the queen?"
Li Huang turned to look at Concubine Qing and whispered: "Concubine, what do you mean by asking like this?"
Concubine Qing hurriedly said: "As soon as you ascend the throne, the matter of establishing a queen will naturally come up. Now you only have one concubine, but you also know Chu Yiqing's identity. If you insist on making her your queen, the ministers in the DPRK may be afraid that
There will be criticism, which will be detrimental to you!"
"Then what the Queen Mother means is..." Li Huang sneered, "Has the Mother Queen forgotten the scene when the father ascended the throne and the harem was filled with beautiful women? How did the Mother Queen feel at that time?"
Concubine Qing was speechless for a moment.
"Besides, I don't think my father is a successful emperor. I firmly believe that even without relying on the connections in the harem, I can develop the Li Kingdom!" Li Huang raised the corners of his lips and looked firmly.
