Yu Wenhao didn't notice her absence, but just turned over and pressed her over, "You can't help but control this. This is our fate with our child."
The curtains were drawn, and the candles were extinguished with a wave of sleeves.
"Can I have some rest today?" In the darkness, Yuan Qingling could only be heard begging for mercy.
"Take a break in two years." Yu Wenhao pressed his lips, not giving her any room to speak.
A beautiful house!
The next day, Prince Sun and his wife came to the palace as guests.
Yu Wenhao came back after finishing his business. He was talking to King Sun in the living room, while Yuan Qingling and Princess Sun were walking in the yard.
Princess Sun looked very worried.
"What's wrong with the second sister-in-law?" Yuan Qingling asked. She stretched out her hand and slapped her back. Her back hurt.
"It's okay." Princess Sun said calmly and glanced at her, "Is your waist okay? Why are you beating it so much?"
"It's okay!" Yuan Qingling took back her hand and replied calmly like her.
Princess Sun laughed. "Come on, who hasn't experienced this?"
Yuan Qing said: "Second sister-in-law thinks too much, I'm just tired."
"I understand." Princess Sun said, pointing to the stone bench in front of her. "Sit for a while. I don't want to leave. I can't walk."
Yuan Qingling accompanied her there.
After sitting down, Princess Sun suddenly asked Yuan Qingling, "I heard that you didn't allow Lao Wu to marry Chu Mingyang before."
It's simply unfair.
"Yes, I won't marry him."
Princess Sun looked at her in astonishment. "How dare you do this?"
Yuan Qingling remembered that she had heard that Princess Sun also wanted to serve as a concubine for King Sun Luo. She said: "That is something that can't be helped. Who wants to share a husband with another woman?"
"It's all like this!" Princess Sun murmured.
"But I don't want to."
Princess Sun looked at her, "What's the point of not wanting to do it? If you don't want to, someone will always do it for him. It's better to do it yourself."
Yuan Qingling looked at her, "So, you want to serve as a concubine for your second brother?"
Princess Sun nodded silently, "We're looking for someone."
She sighed sadly, "I have been married to Prince Sun for so many years, but I still haven't given birth to a son. If it had been anyone else, he would have had three wives and four concubines."
Yuan Qingling remembered that Princess Sun only gave birth to a daughter.
"Did the second brother ask for it?" Yuan Qingling asked.
Princess Sun shook her head, "No."
She looked at Yuan Qingling and said, "I heard that the emperor now only sees which prince can give birth to a son first, and then appoints him as the prince. I don't know what's going on. There are so many princes, but none of them has a son."
of."
Yuan Qingling thought of the emperor's words. What Princess Sun said must be somewhat true to the emperor's thoughts.
It's just that if you don't establish an elder, you don't establish a direct descendant, you don't establish a virtuous person, you just look at whether you can give birth to a son?
Doesn't the emperor think that the princes can't give birth to sons?
So what does the emperor mean by what he said to her alone?
It’s so hard to guess a man’s thoughts!
She said to Princess Sun: "If no one forces you to take a concubine for Prince Sun, don't make things difficult for yourself. The man is yours. Do you think you are giving away half of it if you marry a concubine? No, it's the whole thing.
Everyone is gone, not the only one, no need."
Princess Sun looked at her intently for a long time, then slowly said: "To be honest, I didn't like you very much before."
"I didn't like the old me either." Yuan Qingling said sincerely.
Princess Sun smiled and said, "But I like you lately. What you say makes sense. Although I can't do it, I feel very comfortable after hearing it."
Yuan Qingling knew that she could not be persuaded. Some of her thoughts were deeply ingrained and could not be changed overnight.
After seeing off King Sun and his wife, Yu Wenhao took Yuan Qingling to Prince Huai's Mansion.
As usual, check first, then administer medication, talk for a while, and then you can leave.
"Why don't we go shopping?" Yuan Qingling saw that it was still early, and he rarely had time to accompany him like this. He had been here for so long and passed through the streets several times, but he had never gone shopping.
Yu Wenhao was also in a good mood, and the two of them took a stroll.
Lu Ya and Xu Yi followed behind, walking slowly and slowly.
Yuan Qingling didn't know much about the Northern Tang Dynasty, but just looking at the prosperity in the capital, it must be that the Northern Tang Dynasty was prosperous.
We walked through one store after another, including a rice and grain store, a jewelry store, a silk and satin shop, a medical clinic, and even a paper-making shop. It made Lu Ya very scared. Why is the princess so crazy? That place sells everything.
Not something for living people to use.
Yuan Qingling was very happy and curious. This was her first real contact with the customs and customs of this place.
The paper-making shop was so luxuriously decorated. I asked about the price and found that the items inside were priceless.
"Does this paper-making shop have a business if it's so expensive? Ordinary people can't afford it, right?"
"I'm afraid they specialize in business for the rich. Some people may not be filial to the elderly when they were alive, but they are willing to spend money after death." Yu Wenhao said calmly.
Yuan Qingling thought so. When she saw the people coming and going, she said to Yu Wenhao: "The capital is really prosperous, there is not even a beggar."
Yu Wenhao shook his head slightly, "The people who come to this street to buy are all people from wealthy families."
"Is that so? Then let's go somewhere else."
"Don't go, just take a walk around here." Yu Wenhao said.
Yuan Qing Ling said: "I want to see it, let's go."
Xu Daodao: "Princess, this is the most prosperous area in Beijing. There is nothing else to go around."
"It doesn't matter, let's go for a walk. I want to see something different." Yuan Qingling said with great interest.
Yu Wenhao thought for a while, then asked her to get on the carriage and take her to a place.
The carriage drove for about half an hour before stopping.
Before getting off the carriage, Yu Wenhao said: "Follow me closely. There are many people here, including beggars, thieves and swindlers."
Yuan Qingling heard the bustle of people outside. It seemed that it was really lively here. She said, "Okay, I understand."
When the curtain was opened, Yuan Qingling expected to see a wide and accessible street.
but not.
Yu Wenhao helped her out of the carriage and stood at the street entrance, looking at the narrow and crowded street, with shops on one side and hawkers on the other.
There were really a lot of people, and they were crowded, just like the major scenic spots on May Day.
The people here are no longer single. Some are dressed in ordinary clothes, some are in rags, and some are in strange clothes. If you look carefully, they are not strange clothes, but they have many patches and various colors.
The vendors would shout at the top of their lungs, and the shop owners would stand at the door and shout. All the products highlighted one theme, that they were cheap.
There are many beggars squatting on the roadside, but they don't take the initiative to beg. They just sit there and watch the people passing by.
Occasionally, someone would drop a steamed bun and it would be robbed.
Yuan Qingling saw a little beggar, but he couldn't grab the other beggars. He hugged the beggar and stretched out his mouth to take a bite. In the end, he was slapped, but he smiled with satisfaction and ate with his mouth.
.
He slowly stepped back, and Yuan Qingling realized that he only had one leg. She took another look at the beggar, hoping that Xu Yi would give him some money.
Xu Yi had already consciously gone to buy steamed buns. He came back with a lot of buns and distributed two to each person.
Yuan Qingling was puzzled, "Why are they begging here? The people here don't look rich. On the street just now, I'm afraid I can still get a copper plate, right?"
Yu Wenhao said: "Firstly, drive them away without giving them anything. Secondly, not all rich people are sympathetic. They may give them a few steamed buns, but there are always some people who like to torture the people below them to death."
