From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 522

Qu Ling is not a person who doesn't know the general situation. Her little willfulness is only within a reasonable range, and she can often make others happy.

Of course, this premise is that you'd better not force her to do something she doesn't want to do, otherwise she will be wild and don't care about anything.

Otherwise, how can the Southern Zhenfu Division open a bridal chamber?

The two girls were taken by Zhou Yuan to serve tea to Zhao Jianjia. Zhao Jianjia was at a loss. They were all legal wives, and even if she entered the house first, she was not worthy of this cup of tea.

So she quickly refused and waved her hand, saying, "Please stand up, sisters. We are all sisters, there is no need for such rules."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "It would be a shame if you don't drink the tea from them."

"Don't talk."

Zhao Jianjia rolled her eyes at him and said, "What are you, a grown man, doing to interfere in the affairs of the girls?"

She quickly helped Ningyue and Qu Ling up and whispered, "We are all daughters-in-law of the Zhou family, and we are all the main wives. There is no difference in status. I am very satisfied if you respect me for coming in early and call me sister. You really don't need to serve me tea."

Qu Ling smiled and said, "Sister Jianjia, don't refuse. It's not right for us to hold it like this. It will be easier if you drink it as soon as possible. Could it be that... you didn't prepare gifts for your sisters?"

I really didn't prepare any...

Zhao Jianjia was distressed and couldn't refuse, so she finally accepted the tea.

She quickly helped them up and said, "Ziyuan, go get my jewelry box, the one with gold plating."

Zhao Jianjia had no shortage of jewelry. The palace had sent her a lot of jewelry over the past year.

She picked out the two best ones and gave them to Ningyue and Qu Ling respectively.

With a flushed face, she held the hands of the two and said, "If I had known this, I should have prepared gifts in advance. I neglected my two sisters."

Xue Ningyue covered her mouth and laughed, "Sister Jianjia, please don't be polite. Sit down and be careful of the child."

Qu Ling also said, "Not bad, not bad. Give birth to the child first, then we can feel at ease."

Zhao Jianjia stroked her belly and laughed for a while, saying softly, "Yes, my husband is now a duke, but he still has no heirs. It will be a joke if we tell others about it."

"You should also hurry up and stop him from having affairs outside. You should get pregnant quickly."

"This family is so big and powerful that it must have branches and leaves."

For a while, the other two girls also felt a little oppressed.

But after all, the wedding was over, and everything that should be done was almost done. Zhou Yuan concentrated on accompanying his three wives these two days and spent a few days of leisure.

But he didn't forget Mo Xiang. On the morning of the third day, he found Mo Xiang and quietly handed her a jade pendant and a silver note.

"One, ten thousand taels?"

Mo Xiang's eyes widened, and she waved her hands quickly, saying, "No, no, I can't take it, it's too much. If the young lady knew, she would definitely scold me."

Zhou Yuan whispered, "Qu Ling is not that stingy. Although she always teases you, if she is not good to you, how can she let you spend the wedding night with me?"

"You are mine now, and I can't not explain to your family."

"This jade pendant is a token of love from the young master, and this banknote is used to honor your parents. Find a time to send it back and tell them about this happy event."

Mo Xiang's tears were about to come out, and she couldn't help hugging Zhou Yuan, sobbing, "Thank you for treating me so well, meeting you is the best thing in Mo Xiang's life."

Zhou Yuan touched her little face and whispered, "Then it's a deal, join my camp tonight."

"What?"

Mo Xiang blushed and lowered her head.

Zhou Yuan said: "Qu Ling has been too arrogant these two days. Tonight, you and I will join forces to discipline her. You should prepare some silk ribbons in advance and tie her up."

"Ah!"

Mo Xiang said quickly: "This is not good. The lady will punish me if she finds out."

Zhou Yuan took her hand and said with a smile: "Mo Xiang, the young master treats you so well, can you bear to refuse him?"

Mo Xiang pouted and finally said carefully: "I can't bear it."

But she soon thought of something and said quickly: "No, son-in-law, I have to go back home today."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "Today, the palace will come with an imperial edict to grant the imperial decree, so I will not go back home for the time being and postpone it for three days."

"Remember it, prepare the silk ribbons!"

At noon, the angels in the palace came.

It was the same process, but this time there were many more gifts. The eldest sister was very generous, giving away silk, cloth, porcelain, gold, silver and jewelry. She also conferred Qu Ling the title of a first-class imperial lady. So far, the three wives of the Zhou family have all been first-class imperial ladies, which can be regarded as redressing the grievances of the concubines.

Qu Ling was very proud. She wore a first-class imperial dress and walked around the mansion a few times before gritting her teeth and saying, "It's a pity that I can't go back today, otherwise...I must go back wearing this imperial robe, so that those sharp-tongued women in the mansion can see that the person I, Qu Ling, have chosen can be wrong. "

It seems that she has been criticized a lot before and suffered a lot of humiliation.

But she didn't feel proud for long. After all, at night, she was tied up with silk ribbons by her maid and her husband for no reason.

Seeing Zhou Yuan holding a special collar and scissors, she realized that something was wrong and hurriedly said, "Zhou Yuan, don't mess around. My clothes are very expensive. You have always been thrifty. You won't have the heart to cut them up!"

Zhou Yuan sneered, "Miss Qu! It's my turn to take revenge tonight. Don't worry, I won't cut too much."

Seeing that Zhou Yuan was going to do it for real, she was a little scared and said in a delicate voice, "Husband, I have only been married for three days, and you are going to bully me like this? "

Zhou Yuan took out a slender cane and squinted his eyes and said, "It's more than bullying, it's simply humiliation."

"Mo Xiang, is the golden medicine ready?"

Mo Xiang lowered her head and dared not speak, but just hummed softly.

Qu Ling's face turned pale, and she said anxiously, "Zhou Yuan, you...husband! Forgive me, I will never dare to do anything wrong again."

Of course, all this is meaningless, and tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

After all, even the maids in the yard were cleared out, just for revenge!

...

"Sister Qu Ling, what's wrong with you? Why is your neck red?"

At dinner the next day, Zhao Jianjia asked with some concern.

Qu Ling looked ashamed and angry, and gritted her teeth and said, "I was bitten by a dog!"

"What? "

Zhao Jianjia took a closer look and suddenly understood something.

She looked at Zhou Yuan and couldn't help saying, "Husband, you...you should be a little gentler. That girl's neck is very fragile. Can it withstand your pinching? I really don't know where you learned this."

Qu Ling's eyes lit up, and she immediately covered her face and cried softly, choking and saying, "Sister Jianjia, I...I'm fine...As long as my husband likes it, I will...I will do it."

Zhao Jianjia's face changed, and she looked at Zhou Yuan suddenly, saying loudly, "Look at what you have done! Sister Qu Ling doesn't like this, why do you have to bully her like this? Isn't it enough to play around with Qing Yuan like this! "

"Once you are free, you always do such stupid things. I want you to have branches and leaves as soon as possible, not to let you indulge in such things! "

Zhou Yuan was scolded and saw Qu Ling laughing secretly. He was really burning with anger for a moment.

Damn it, Qu girl, just wait for me. I have many tricks. Sooner or later, I will teach you a lesson.

"Sister Qu Ling, you take a rest first. I will scold him."

Zhao Jianjia stood up, glared at Zhou Yuan, and said coldly: "Follow me into the house!"

Zhou Yuan did not dare to refute a wife who was eight months pregnant, and followed him in obediently.

Seeing the two enter the house, Qu Ling burst into laughter and said in surprise: "I found a way to deal with Zhou Yuan! Haha! It turns out that he is afraid of Jianjia!"

Entered Jianjia's room, helped her sit down, and poured her a cup of tea.

Zhao Jianjia said: "Husband, sit down, you are the Duke, and you have to pour tea for me, I can't afford it! "

Zhou Yuan said seriously: "It's my duty to take care of my wife."

Zhao Jianjia said faintly: "But... you didn't take my words to heart."

Zhou Yuan said: "Listen to my wife! Don't play like this anymore!"

"Who said that?"

Zhao Jianjia glared at him unhappily and said: "Do you think I can't see that Qu Ling is also enjoying it? I don't want to care about your business, I mean Ziyuan."

Zhou Yuan was stunned.

Zhao Jianjia sighed: "Husband, you accepted Mo Xiang, and gave her a jade pendant and silver notes, what about Ziyuan? She is your personal maid, how do you want her to deal with it?"

"And Mo Xiang gave a jade pendant and silver notes, why didn't Ziyuan give them? Are you partial? Qingyuan is my personal maid, and she left as early as you. "

At the end, she felt a little aggrieved and whispered: "Does my husband not like the maids of the Zhao family?"

Zhou Yuan hurriedly said: "Jianjia, you must not think like that! Give Qingyuan too! Give Ziyuan too! My husband promises to treat them equally!"

Zhao Jianjia said: "The house is getting bigger and bigger. You are the master. The maids all rely on you. Your every move will determine their status and mood..."

"My husband, the Zhou family is not the same as before. You can't do anything wrong."

"I have already given the banknotes and jade pendants to Qingyuan. I said you gave them. Don't show it."

Zhou Yuan was stunned and said: "No wonder Qingyuan has been winking at me today, looking so delicate."

Zhao Jianjia said: "I also told Ziyuan that I want her to sleep with me tonight, and you have to come too. "

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath, kissed Jianjia on the face, and smiled."My dear wife, you are the most considerate to me."

Zhao Jianjia raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't compare us. We are both legal wives. If you say that, it will easily cause conflicts."

But she was clearly smiling, and the corners of her mouth could not be suppressed.

"I understand, I understand. Don't say anything that is not conducive to unity!"

Zhou Yuan hugged her and whispered, "I am just expressing my admiration for my wife."

Zhao Jianjia finally laughed out loud, blinking and saying, "Prepare a gift for Ziyuan. This girl is very disappointed and has been frowning. You have to comfort her."

Zhou Yuan patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, my wife. I have many ways to make her happy."

Zhao Jianjia said, "So you plan to marry a few more legal wives? The romantic Duke of Wei, are you going to move all the women of Dajin to your home?"

After being pointed out, Zhou Yuan was sweating profusely and said quickly, "How could that be? No, no .”

Zhao Jianjia said seriously: “Husband, there are only four wives in the Zhou family, no more.”

“Now that you have married the third wife, the fourth wife is left. I only recognize sister Cai Ni.”

“Although she is not often with you, she is also the first girl to follow you and has a lot of feelings for you.”

“We in the Zhou family cannot have sectarianism. We cannot wrong Cai Ni because of her background, and we will never step on Cai Ni because of other girls’ noble backgrounds.”

“Don’t think I don’t know. It’s spread outside that His Majesty wants to marry his sister to you.”

“I tell you, we only recognize Cai Ni, and we don’t recognize anyone else.”

Which bastard is spreading the rumor that I want to marry Guan Caixi! Damn it!

The fourth wife was originally meant for Cai Ni!

Thinking of this girl who is still outside the pass, Zhou Yuan felt extremely guilty and said quickly: “Don’t worry, my lady, I will never let Cai Ni down.”
