The Possession of My Beloved

    However, such rare chess records can be found but not sought after. Cui Xingzhou didn't know if he could find the remnants of the second half, but the long-cherished wish of lay Buddhist Dongquan was fulfilled.

    Cui Xingzhou got his favorite chess score, and the trip was a success.

    Mother's birthday banquet is two days away. In the past few days, distant relatives and friends in the palace have come to the palace, so he has to go back to welcome the guests.

    So after leaving the mountain villa of Jushi Dongxi, he and Zhao Quan, the Marquis of Zhennan, went down the mountain to transfer to the canopy horse with the famous brand of the palace, and returned to the palace together.

    Huaiyang Prince’s Mansion is not far from Lingquan Town, and is separated by a water in Zhenzhou County.

    Although the old princess' birthday banquet has not yet begun, it is already night, but there are still people in front of the palace gate.

    The prince finally returned home, and everyone in the palace was full of energy and came to greet the prince.

    The first thing Cui Xingzhou did was to see his mother.

    Because she knew her son was back, Princess Chu, who always went to bed early, also sat in the hall, accompanied by Lian Lilan and her mother, waiting for Cui Xingzhou to come to greet him.

      , the eyebrows are more handsome and compelling.

    Lian Lilan shyly and timidly looked at her future husband, pursed her lips slightly, and waited for her cousin to come over.

    However, Cui Xingzhou didn't look sideways, and didn't look at his cousin.

    From childhood to adulthood, he was not familiar with this cousin who was four years apart.

    Fortunately, the way of husband and wife is to treat each other as guests. Just like that Liu Miantang, as long as she is respectful to her husband, even if she has nothing to say, she can get along smoothly and safely.

    Cui Xingzhou has no interest in the "thrush" after marriage, but thinks that his wife's respect is the first and foremost important.

    On this point, a lady like Lian Lilan will definitely do better than a fallen daughter like Liu Miantang.

    After greeting her mother, Concubine Chu said warmly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, why do you seem to be thin? If you are not busy with official business this time, you should stay in the palace for a few more days. Lan's craftsmanship, the tonic soup she simmered for me is very healthy."

    Li Lan listened to her aunt Chu's praise, she smiled and said softly: "It's the concubine, you don't dislike Li Lan's hands and feet, I know my cooking skills are not good, how dare I dare to face my cousin Ugly?"

    Concubine Chu looked at Li Lan's modesty, and smiled at Li Lan's mother and sister Lian Chu who was sitting beside her, "Look at how this child Li Lan is so humble, But it doesn't look like you at all!"

     Concubine Chu is telling the truth. When her younger sister Lian Chu was at home, she was always biting her nose and fighting for the best in everything, even after marrying and raising children. No convergence. However, the younger sister's daughter, Lian Lilan, was an elegant and gentle girl who matched her son Cui Xingzhou very well.

    Cui Xingzhou didn't come home for a long time. After greeting his mother, he sat for a while, gossiping with his mother and aunt.

      , but it won't last for a long time. He and Li Lan are still married for a year, so let's let Li Lan's maid Lianxiang go to the prince's side first to serve him, at least he can take care of everything, right?"

    The number of ways the maid will go first is beyond expectation. Listening to my aunt Lian Chu's intention is to send Lianxiang first to be Cui Xingzhou's maid.

     Concubine Chu glanced at Lian Lilan who was sitting beside her. She didn't seem to be surprised, just bowed her head slightly and didn't speak. Then she glanced at Lianxiang again.

    This girl's appearance is also correct, but compared to Lian Lilan, it is a little worse, and she doesn't look like a coquettish way...

    At this time, Cui Xingzhou said: "I often walk around the barracks, it is really inconvenient to bring a maid, and the servants around me are also dedicated, and my aunt doesn't have to worry about me."

    Hearing the prince's refusal, Lian Chu did not let go: "Lianxiang is not one of those servants who are pampered in the mansion and become the master, the prince can rest assured and order, in the future, you and Lilan will become relatives. , she also served well, just to help Li Lan and take care of your daily life, right?"

    Taifei Chu was soft-hearted, so she listened, she felt it made sense, so she also persuaded her son: "Since it's your aunt's kindness, let's agree."

    But Cui Xingzhou didn't seem to want to let go, he just held up the tea cup on the side, lightly rubbed the tea lid, and seemingly inadvertently changed the topic and said: "A few days ago, my soldiers followed I said, I saw Uncle Lian's servant in Lingquan Town, and I thought I was going to buy china, but I don't know if I can buy something I like? Would you like me to choose a few for me?"

      The only thing is that they were all taught by the concubine herself, how can style and carefulness be compared to a frizzy person like Lianxiang?"

    Speaking, she softly talked about the incident where she accompanied the concubine to the temple for fasting yesterday. When it came to the funny place, the concubine Chu was so happy that she couldn't help laughing. As for sending off the maid, it was interrupted just like that.

    When Cui Xingzhou got up, he said goodbye to his mother and returned to the study. Lian Chu also took her daughter to say goodbye and returned to the courtyard where Lian Lilan lived.

    After entering the inner room, when there were no other people around, Lian Chu suddenly became annoyed, stared at her daughter and said, "It wasn't agreed in the morning, first send Lianxiang to Xingzhou, It's good to know what's going on over there, so my sister was relieved at last, why did you stop it later?"

      Knowing that the old prince, Cui Xie, had a disposition, he insisted on not marrying, and his parents had no way to do it, so I exchanged the marriage certificate with my sister, let her marry Cui Xie, and let me marry your father. You Look at your aunt, if it wasn't for the maintenance of her parents' family, she would have been dragged and eaten by those foxes for a long time, where would there be a comfortable life for the concubine now? Her bad things in the past can't be compared to the quietness of our house and life. If you don't have a good heart, you will repeat the mistakes of your aunt, and at that time, your father's official position will not be able to help you!"

    Listening to her mother's boast, Lian Lilan, who has always been gentle in front of others, gave Lian Chu a light look in disapproval.

    Lian Chu didn't notice her daughter's meaningful glance, and said to herself: "Now I see her only son's good temperament in boating, not his father's rambunctious appearance. You got married. How did you know that Xingzhou's child quietly set up a house in Lingquan Town and raised an outer room! Isn't this... the old prince who passed away? If you don't take precautions early, you will be the one who suffers. It's gone!"

    Lian Lilan let Lianxiang remove the hairpin for her, and said softly: "Mother, how many times has my daughter told you, don't be too explicit. Today you listen to cousin's words, Obviously, he noticed that his father's servant Shumo was inspecting the outer house in Lingquan Town. If you are eager to shove people into his place, wouldn't it be obvious that you want to put eyeliner? According to your cousin's temperament, how can you tolerate this? "

    Lian Chu knew that what her daughter said was reasonable, but she was not reconciled: "Then let him keep the outer room? Where should our Lian family's face go?"

    Lian Lilan said calmly, "Didn't Shumo find out about Shi Yinzi? She said that the little woman was a business woman who was robbed by bandits, and somehow got her cousin's eyes. This kind of smeared name is just to tease and tease the elder brother to relieve the boredom. According to the identity of the cousin, no matter how much you dote on it, it will not be on the stage. Since it is something that is boring in private, why bother Annoying your cousin and making him annoyed?"

    Lian Chu actually wondered why her daughter was not like her impatient, so calm! But Li Lan was right. Today, the prince suddenly mentioned her husband Lian Hanshan's servant Shumo, and he was beating her.

    This nephew of hers looks warm and polite, but she is not as soft as her sister's temperament.

    When the little servant went to inquire again a few days ago, the soldier whom he had bought had disappeared. Now that I think about it, according to Cui Xingzhou's temperament, the soldier must have been punished, and it is impossible to say anything more.

    Lian Lilan, when she was jealous at first, also wanted to understand: she will be the mistress of the palace, the concubine of the house, and some ways to deal with the little woman in the outer room, Why did he make his cousin unhappy before the ceremony was done?

    In this case, she should not know. With such a filthy reputation, it would be better for a woman to serve his cousin, but it would be better for him to be like the old Huaiyang King who had provoked the daughters of other families and carried a few concubines who could not be beaten and scolded.

    Thinking of this, Lian Lilan gently advised her mother to go to sleep. And she also covered her face with pearl ointment, tied her hair with a veil, and fell asleep.

    In the past few days, Lian Lilan has been taking extra care of her. Just because the soldier said that the business woman was very beautiful, it was inevitable that people felt a little uncomfortable and aroused the heart of comparison.

    However, no matter how beautiful it is, it will fade away. As the head lady, she should be more open-minded and not short-sighted like her mother.

    Although the mother just now scolded the old prince for being fussy, he must not marry. But in her family's mansion, her mother cried and regretted how many times, nagging about her father's mediocrity, and only said that she was obsessed with her mind, why did she have to marry her sister easily?

    When my father chose a husband for their sisters, he also saw that Chu's temperament was soft, so he looked for Lian Hanshan, a straightforward and honest son-in-law.

      The smooth and flattering in the officialdom will never be the case. For many years, he has been guarding the place without moving or rising.

    Cui Xie, on the other hand, was originally just a military envoy to guard one side, but he made extraordinary achievements and was awarded the king by the emperor. expand.

    Lian Chu's bowels were regretful in private, and always said that if she didn't change at the beginning, she would be the head mistress of the palace now.
