Seventy-eighth bowl of soup (6)
Qing Huan's so-called marriage was nothing more than moving from the palace to the princess mansion that had been built long ago. Her life is not much different except for the absence of the nagging brother Huang, but for the Qi family, their life has completely changed. The glory and wealth brought by the princess are something they have never had before. But once people get something they never had, they will be afraid of losing it and become more greedy.
When the group arrived in the house, Qing Huan was helped by Lu Yuanbai to sit down, he poured her a glass of milk and then stood there with his hands tied. Qing Huan looked around the crowd, except for her, they were all standing, "Yuan Bai, show the seat to the son-in-law."
"Yes." He pulled up a chair, "Sir-in-law, please sit down."
There was gratitude in the son-in-law's eyes, but Qing Huan didn't ask others to sit down anymore. She looked at the other Qi family members indifferently: "I thought I had made it very clear about the second brother of the Qi family. Didn't the son-in-law talk to the family?" What do you say?"
Of course he said it, but how could my mother buy it. She only felt that she had a princess daughter-in-law, even if she made a big mistake, she could be forgiven. "The son-in-law said it, but princess, we are a family, this is our family business—"
She was interrupted by Lu Yuanbai before she finished speaking: "The princess is a golden branch and jade leaf. Even if she marries a concubine, she is still a member of the royal family. The second brother of the Qi family broke the law, so he should deal with it as he should. Princesses who are embarrassed What is it?"
"You! I'm talking to the princess, how can you, a stray dog, have the right to speak up!" Mrs. Qi was the first to be annoyed. She had been holding back her breath for a long time, and it was fine to kneel down and salute to the princess' daughter-in-law, now even a eunuch can point and point at her! "With all due respect, the princess has such a eunuch who interrupts boldly regardless of the occasion, it's better to deal with it earlier, so as not to bully the master!"
Qing Huan was not angry when she heard this, but smiled slightly: "Madame Qi is right, the reason why the emperor sent Yuan Bai to me was indeed because he didn't learn the rules well, so I will send him back later and call him Brother Huang will send it after he has been trained."
Mrs. Qi felt cold, and looked up at the princess again, there was no smile on that hibiscus face, only the eyes were bent and seemed to be smiling, but there was clearly infinite coldness in it. This eunuch was sent by the emperor, and she said that he was not well-behaved, so she was talking about the emperor—that is a serious crime to kill the nine clans! Immediately, Mrs. Qi's legs trembled with fright, and she almost couldn't stand still.
Lu Yuanbai also smiled and said: "That's why I'm a slave. If I'm thinking about the princess, I'll be gobbled down by others. It's better for the princess to send the slave back. I'll change it to be dumb tomorrow. The princess is being bullied, so I don't say anything." No words."
This little eunuch! Sharp teeth and sharp mouth, grab a weak point and stop! Mrs. Qi was secretly annoyed, but she couldn't bear to apologize. Her heart is full of the idea that when a daughter-in-law gets married, she must marry and obey her husband. Wasn't it the same when she married into the Qi family? Why wouldn't the princess use it
Master Qi knows a lot. He knows better than anyone else where his family's glory comes from. He came to intercede today, but he just hoped that his wife with a pungent personality could persuade the princess. Seeing that things are about to develop in an uncontrollable direction now, this little eunuch is not sharp-tongued, he is clearly deep in the city, and every sentence is trying to induce his wife to say disrespectful words to the royal family. It will not be easy to find out the crime . So he apologized and said with a smile: "Grandpa Lu offended, Zhuo Jing said something indiscriminately for a while, please ask Mrs. Lu to have a lot, don't be offended by this woman."
Little did he know that what he said made the princess's impression of him even worse. What is a woman's family, is it true that all women's families are like this? Master Qi said that when he was right, did he ever think that she is also a so-called womanizer
She twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, her expression was not large, no one cared except Lu Yuanbai who had been paying attention to her. "Okay, about the matter of the second brother of the Qi family, I will not interfere if I say that I will not interfere. If you feel that he has been wronged, you can go to Dali Temple to discuss it. Master Qing Cheng of Dali Temple is known as Qingtian, and he will definitely not." An unjust, false and wrongly decided case. If the evidence is convincing, you should accept your fate early, this palace is not a place for you to come and go at will."
The son-in-law lowered his head, he was filled with humiliation. It's fine to bow down to the princess, why even the eunuch beside the princess has to be so careless to please her? He couldn't help but think of the beautiful woman he met a few days ago, with a gentle personality, charming to the bone, and obedient to him, taking care of his parents in every possible way. Compared with her, the princess is really far behind. How could he treat him back then? Such a spoiled princess fell in love at first sight
If Qing Huan learned that the son-in-law said that she was arrogant, she would really laugh out loud. If she was really arrogant, she would have kicked him out when she was annoyed by Qi's family, and had reconciled with him long ago, why would she have to think so much
However, Lu Yuanbai saw the expression of the son-in-law, and any change in the expression of the other party could not escape his eyes. Now he follows the princess, the princess trusts him, and has long since handed over the hidden guards around him to him, so he already knew that the son-in-law and that bitch fell in love with him again, and even secretly sent him to the Qi family without telling the princess, just like a That bitch looks like the authentic young wife of the Qi family.
It's a pity that I'm not brave enough, so I still have to hide it, and I'm not afraid of being ridiculed. He dared to bring the Qi family and his wife to come to accuse the princess, what a wolf-hearted person!
The son-in-law felt even more indignant, seeing the princess was about to leave, he didn't know where the courage came from, so he shouted loudly: "Stop!"
Lu Yuanbai supported the princess, the two of them didn't stop, the eyes of the son-in-law were flushed, and he was furious: "Did you ever consider me your husband!"
After hearing this, Qing Huan patted Lu Yuanbai's hand lightly, he stopped, she turned around slowly, and saw the anger on the son-in-law's face, "I told you before, although you and I are husband and wife, but the relationship between husband and wife Come on, there are more monarchs and ministers. Today is the palace that chose you to be the son-in-law, not you who chose the palace to be the wife. Don't treat the palace as a woman from an ordinary family. You should know where your glory today comes from. If I can lift your Qi family up, naturally I can also make you fall down, that's just a piece of cake."
"Is the son-in-law going to tear up his face with the princess for a useless son?" Lu Yuanbai smiled, "That's really a big loss."
In front of many servants, he did not give them any dignity. What qualifications does the Qi family have to say that dignity should be decent in front of the princess? In front of them is a princess who was born in the royal family. This is the era when imperial power is supreme, and the rules of their family are simply ridiculous. If it wasn't for the princess, they wouldn't even have the word dignity.
Seeing the son-in-law's complexion was blue and white, Lu Yuanbai made another stab: "The princess is kind-hearted and has never told the emperor, but the servant is different. For the sake of the princess, the servant will report everything to the emperor."
The Qi family doesn't understand, they simply understand too much! But it is because I understand that I dare to do so. Because they know that the princess is kind-hearted and won't argue with them, but the emperor is different. If the emperor knows that they talk to the princess like this, it will be their luck if they don't cut them off!
Sure enough, when the Qi family heard the word "emperor", they didn't dare to say anything.
Lu Yuanbai looked down on them from the bottom of his heart, and turned to the princess and said: "In the future, the princess doesn't need to talk to them, this group of people are like leeches—"
"What is a leech?"
He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "A kind of insect, after biting a person, it will burrow into the flesh, until only a piece of skin is left after sucking the person."
Qing Huan thought for a while, "That's quite appropriate. I think I've cared enough for them, but the Qi family always seems to be dissatisfied."
"How can greed be satisfied." Lu Yuanbai said flatly, "The next time these people come again, the princess will let the slaves handle it."
Hearing what he said, Qing Huan couldn't help but look at him. Under the sun, Lu Yuanbai's delicate and handsome profile shocked her. She used to think that the son-in-law was the most handsome man, but the son-in-law couldn't compare with Lu Yuanbai at all. Such a good-looking person, talented, tolerant and rational, but willing to stay by her side, is it really... just to repay her kindness
Thinking this way in my heart, I asked this way: "Yuan Bai, if it wasn't me who saved you back then, but an old woman in her sixties or seventies, or a lady from any other family, would you sacrifice yourself to repay your kindness?"
Lu Yuanbai didn't even think about it: "No." He will repay, thousands of times, but he will never dedicate his life to it.
But after answering, he realized what he said, and was about to redeem it, but saw a smile on the corner of the princess's mouth. He could always figure out what she was thinking, but now he didn't understand, and he was even confused for a moment, the princess Why are you laughing
Of course Qing Huan wanted to laugh, because she was finally sure that what she had felt all along was not wrong. Yuan Bai didn't stay here purely to repay his kindness, he would rather not make contributions to realize his ambition, simply because he likes her.
Seeing how he served her on weekdays, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as liking her.
Hate it
No.
angry
No.
are you happy
There is... a little bit.
Qing Huan has no love between men and women for her son-in-law, because of her body, she takes emotions very lightly. I don't want others to love her too much, and I don't want to love others, so I won't be too sad when we part. But Yuan Bai, his loyalty to her surprised even Qing Huan himself, he was serving her with his soul.
But Luyuan Bai saw that the princess didn't say anything more about this matter, so he didn't take it seriously, and the princess behaved the same as before in the next few days, which made him gradually let go of the problem of his own thoughts being exposed. But a few days later, the princess suddenly asked him to come in to serve her while she was taking a bath!
When Lu Yuanbai heard the princess calling his name, he froze. He couldn't believe what he heard, until the princess called again, and then walked in blankly.
