Heartburn - Chapter 76
Because of my knighthood, even though Fu Yunchong’s proud look of leaning and selling the old can hardly be concealed, he did not dare to be disrespectful to me on the bright side, so I could easily withdraw from the dull party of these women. The machine left the house.
Walking along the corridor, looking at the courtyards of other Gonghou residences without a trace, while searching for Jiang Zhuo’s whereabouts.
It would be misleading to misunderstand Jiang Zhuo, because she was dissatisfied with her as a guard, so I couldn’t ask her whereabouts directly. I can only use the most stupid way, aimlessly wandering around in this strange house, hoping to have a chance encounter with someone in a movie.
Unexpectedly, I went around for a while, just when I felt that the time was too long. Not far from lunch, the people in Fu’s House were afraid that before they could find it, they suddenly saw the familiar, tall and straight figure slowly walking through the stone arch. The other side came over.
“Where did you go? You can teach me to find it. Hungry? Let’s go back to the house soon after lunch.” The moment I saw her, my empty heart suddenly settled down, and there was still a lot of misunderstanding in my heart. I wanted to talk to her, but I really came closer, taught her to take her hand naturally, and lead her to lean close to her side. Those questions couldn’t be said.
I bit my lip, a little annoyed by myself, but unconsciously melted under her deep and focused gaze, and heard her smile unhurriedly: “I just went to change clothes, the Fu family is in front, it is inconvenient to tell you, then It took a few more detours to find land, and it took a lot of time…I am not good.”
She glanced sideways at the attendant who followed, covering my body by standing, and then quickly stretched her hand across my auricle, squeezed it affectionately and flatteringly, and saw me staring at her. Then he took it back casually, squinted at me and smiled.
Even if she was so angry, she couldn’t get angry anymore when she touched and smiled like this.
Back in the Fu’s living room, I had lunch and drank a cup of tea. Today’s task of returning to the door is considered complete. I couldn’t bear to get up and leave, and took the rather reluctant Fu Zhenzhen into the carriage.
Sitting in the carriage, resting on the mat, I unconsciously recalled the scene that I had just met Jiang Zhuo in my mind. When the ambiguity at that time was gone, after calming down, my heart gradually became a shadow: Jiang Zhuo’s direction when he came back. , And the dressing place mentioned by the attendant, but on the contrary, even if it is a detour, it is a bit far-fetched… But, what reason does she have to lie to me?
Compared to the reason she deceived me, I am afraid that the fact that she deceived me is even more difficult for me to accept.
“His Royal Highness, please use tea.” Fu Zhenzhen, who was sitting opposite me, pushed the cup and saucer in front of him with a low eyebrow and said softly to me.
“Well, thank you.” I picked up a piece of mung bean cake and put it in my mouth. There was a rustle of sweetness in the soft glutinous rice cake, and the aftertaste seemed to be a bit astringent. In other words, how can we be honest with each other?
Who lied to who, who lost who was destined for a long time, but it is their own reincarnation.
When I got married, the wedding room was set up in the Ningxiang Hall on the opposite corner of Lanyue Hall, and later it became the king’s husband’s bedroom. That place was very close to the other servants and the beauties bestowed by Kuang Xiqing. It is convenient for the servants to come and greet him every day, and it also saves the manpower to put in the surveillance-Yan Ke arranged him here can be regarded as a painstaking effort.
Every day I take time to sit in the Ningxiang Hall, or to have a cup of tea, or have dinner with him. It is my promise to not leave him in the cold, and I also teach the outsiders to know that Ling Wang and Wang Fuzhi Harmony between the piano and piano-when I go to bed at night, I return to my bedroom to rest, but this is my bottom line.
Sometimes I just didn’t know the expression of Shang Yan Ke’s hesitation, and it was a while.
After a few days, the wedding leave has arrived, and it is time to take the royal husband to the palace to pay respect to the emperor and the royal husband.
Early that morning, after getting dressed, he thought about giving a few words to Fu Zhenzhen, who entered the palace for the first time. Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, he saw that he had everything ready. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing his indifferent and calm appearance, I presumably didn’t need my reminder, so I stopped talking, and got in the carriage to the palace with him.
Under the guidance of the palace attendant, I followed her to Kwong Xiqing’s bedroom, Chaolu Hall, and Fu Zhenzhen was invited to the imperial husband’s palace. Because it was a consistent tradition, I didn’t think much about it. I only sent two guards to follow. Dispatched.
I haven’t seen Kuang Xiqing for many days. I’m not sure what attitude I should use to face her, but she smiled calmly at me, not unfamiliar or embarrassed, as if the gaffe at my wedding had never appeared at that time— -In response to her smile, I also calmly nodded and silently left the incident behind me, as if it had never happened before.
Sitting next to her, taking a sip of tea, letting her look at me, Shi Shiran said: “I see you look good, you seem to be satisfied with this marriage?”
I saw that although the corners of her mouth were upturned, there was no smile in her eyes. The fingertips resting on the armrest lightly tapped unconsciously, revealing a trace of tension.
I thought about it, put aside the tea cup, and smiled, “The emperor’s remark is wrong. Since it is an imperial decree, I can only accept it. Don’t you dare to be dissatisfied?”
She smiled, but the coldness in her eyes disappeared a lot. Hearing this, she just shook her head helplessly, pointed her finger on me, and said with a smile: “You…”
With a unavoidable smile, I lowered my head and continued to drink tea. With the help of the tea cup, I drew away the stunnedness in my eyes–sometimes I really sympathized with Kuang Xiqing, and obviously didn’t want to do so, but had to force myself, It hurts others and hurts myself; but I feel more sympathetic to myself, and I have no choice but to accept myself.
“By the way, due to this year’s floods, I have waived taxes in several cities, and have also suspended the three-year general election and the once-a-year minor election. However, the Ministry of Rites still sent a batch of portraits of Liangjiazi. You see It doesn’t matter if you choose two, you can be a side husband, or you can only take in the servants.” After a moment of silence, Kuang Xiqing suddenly pointed to a pile of scrolls on the table and motioned me to take a look.
I walked obediently, drew out a volume at random, and halfway through it, I heard her say so, shaking my hand, and using a little more energy, I accidentally tore the scroll open a hole. Shocked, I refused without thinking about it. He said: “I don’t want it!”
Seeing her frown, I didn’t care about the ruined half of the painting, and I was even less interested in seeing the whole picture. I just said to Kuang Xiqing, “Wang Fu has just entered the door, so I asked the husband to teach the world what to do.” Look at him, and teach you how to put the face of the emperor master?”
——The most important thing is that Jiang Zhuo’s thousand-year-old vinegar jar is about to be overturned again.
“It’s okay,” she raised her eyebrows indifferently, and explained in a low voice, “It was the royal husband and two nobles who entered the door when I was married. It was to open branches and leaves for the royal family. In terms of the supreme kindness, the world will only admire the man you choose. How dare to make irresponsible remarks?”
She was so arrogant, but she taught me to be speechless and had to resist with a passive attitude.
“…Why, you are so affectionate for the son of the Fu family, and would rather refuse my good intentions for him?” Kuang Xiqing asked with squinting eyes, but the cold light in her eyes made people shiver. .
——She is angry.
“No, I just promised him that I will give him the honor he deserves,” I forced myself to straighten my waist calmly under her gaze, and replied word by word, “After all, he is me. Masao in name, isn’t it?”
“…Oh, Han’er made sense, I was abrupt.” Kuang Xiqing kept staring at my eyes, as if to see some clues from it, just when I was about to be defeated, I took the lead to look away. Before this, he smiled and returned to that gentle and elegant appearance.
“Fine, let me eat at the royal husband’s place with me, and by the way, also teach me to see how good son Pian Pian is the royal husband guarded by you.” She got up and walked out. I was relieved and took steps. Followed up.
At the gate of the imperial husband’s palace, I saw the palace attendant hula la and knelt on the ground, and the two guards I sent to follow Fu Zhenzhen were particularly conspicuous. One of them kept winking me.
——Why, could it be that something happened to Fu Zhenzhen?
I followed Kwong Xiqing into the inner hall quickly, and heard a crisp sound, the sound of the tea cup smashing accompanied by a sharp scolding, causing people to frown fiercely.
“If you remember correctly, this is the third time you made a mistake? According to the servant, you have to relax a little bit, Ling Wangfu. It doesn’t matter if the servant is scalded. The servant is just a mere servant, with thick skin and thick skin. Don’t be afraid of being scalded. If you burn our Royal Highness, the sin will be serious, and the Lord Ling will be down, and you won’t be able to save you…” Turning around the sheltered screen, he saw a middle-aged man wearing general-grade clothing. He was akimbo, holding the kerchief in the other to count what was lying on his back, his acrimonious look made people boring.
Sitting behind him was Lu Xiuzhu, who was tasting tea with An Ran, as if he didn’t care about everything in front of him, but there was a mocking smile on his lips.
And my husband, whom I vowed to protect with Kuang Xiqing just now, knelt tremblingly in front of a piece of broken porcelain, his face pale, and only promises.
“I have seen the imperial husband.” Enduring the anger from the bottom of my heart, smiled and met with Lu Xiuzhu.
“Your Majesty? Han…Ling King?” The happy smile on his face suddenly changed when he saw Kuang Xiqing and I. After saluting rather unnaturally, he gave Kuang Xiqing to the seat, while calling the palace attendant to us. While serving the tea, someone pulled the kneeling Fu Zhenzhen up.
I glanced at it. Kwong Xiqing was sipping tea leisurely without any intention of intervening. I sank and glanced at Fu Zhenzhen, who bowed his head and said nothing. Turning to Lu Xiuzhu, he smiled and said, “I don’t know the king’s king. What mistake did your husband make that made you so angry? This king, the wife-owner, should make a payment on his behalf.”
“It’s not a big deal…” Lu Xiuzhu paused, then smiled in disguise.
“Since it’s nothing serious, from the face of the king, I’ll expose the matter, how about it?” I don’t want to conflict with Lu Xiuzhu-although I don’t want him to deliberately make the stumbling block to bully Fu Zhenzhen, what is he? The lord of the harem, it’s not easy to tear his face with him; as my husband, there will still be opportunities to deal with him in the future. .
“Ling Wang is serious, it’s all his own family, where can I care about it?” Lu Xiuzhu glanced lightly at Fu Zhenzhen who was silent, then followed the steps I gave him, and ordered the palace attendant to pass on. meal.
This meal was extremely depressing. I patiently ate the dishes that Kwong Xiqing and Lu Xiuzhu kept sending people out, and it finally came to an end.
After drank the tea that was gargle hastily, Kuang Xiqing and I were guilty of the crime and were about to take Fu Zhenzhen away, but when Kuang Xiqing stopped me, he said quietly: “In three days, the mission of Linzhi Kingdom will arrive in Guanlan City. , I hope you will have a good reception, do your best as a landlord, and maintain the diplomatic relations between the two countries.”
——The people of the Ministry of Rites and Hongho Temple worry about this diplomatic matter. I am an idle prince, what am I going to join in the fun?
It wasn’t until three days later that the envoy of Linzhi Kingdom was greeted outside the city, and I didn’t understand Kuang Xiqing’s intention.
The little prince who led the team was only fifteen or six years old. He was still an innocent and innocent boy. He has never made a marriage appointment; and his purpose in coming to Dawu is…
