The air seemed to be condensed.
The two of them looked at me and I looked at you, with unknown expressions on their faces.
I don't know how long it took, but Zhao Yue tensed up her face, tried hard to resist the urge to dig her toes on the ground in embarrassment, and uttered two words from her throat, "Ah, what a coincidence."
Cui Wenxi twitched the corner of his mouth and gave an awkward yet polite smile, "What a coincidence."
The two of them didn't seem to expect to meet each other here, and they looked away at the same time.
Zhao Yue wanted to explain, but she was afraid that the more she explained, the harder it would be to explain the situation, so she kept silent.
Cui Wenxi was even more tormented and crazy. Afraid of losing her composure, she forced herself to hold on to the stone and retreated. Unexpectedly, Prince Qing's voice sounded nearby, "Yuan Niang?"
The sound of "Yuan Niang" frightened Zhao Yue to the point of feeling guilty, and even frightened Cui Wenxi to the point of losing her wits. She couldn't help but make a decisive decision and retreated into the rockery, burrowing into the cracks in the rocks.
The terrible thing is that Zhao Yue drills faster than her!
Hearing the footsteps approaching, the two of them squeezed into the crack in the stone as if they were seeing ghosts, regardless of whether it could accommodate them.
At that time, Cui Wenxi didn't care about the defense of men and women, and had only one thought in his mind: he must not fall into the hands of King Qing, otherwise he would not be safe!
Zhao Yue thought with a guilty conscience, she couldn't let Uncle Four Emperors notice his ridiculous thoughts!
The two of them each had their own secrets, and it was very difficult to squeeze in the stone.
Zhao Yue was much taller than her, her back was pressed against the cold stone wall, her face was tense and she did not dare to express her anger.
However, the faint scent of powder from the other party's body lingered in his nose from time to time, disturbing him. He tried hard to maintain restraint. Although his expression was calm, his heart was beating extremely hard.
Little did she know that Cui Wenxi was suffering even more than him. She felt as if her whole body had been thrown into a frying pan, and she wanted to have her skin and bones peeled off to get some air.
Her nails dug deeply into her flesh, fearing that she would breathe heavily, so she bit her lip with all her heart, not daring to let go even though she tasted the fishy sweetness.
Zhao Chengyan outside had just seen the master and servant here, but he didn't expect them to be there when they came over.
He couldn't help but feel irritable. When he passed by the rockery, he couldn't help but come in and take a look. The two people hiding in the cracks of the rocks squeezed in again.
Zhao Yue really couldn't squeeze in, so she could only block it with her hands in embarrassment.
His hand touched her shoulder. The two of them were obviously close to each other, but he quickly retracted it as if he had been burned.
Cui Wenxi instinctively turned her head to look at him, her eyes met each other, and the two of them awkwardly looked away at the same time, as if they were not crowded together without seeing each other.
Zhao Yue had something in her heart and blushed because she was hopeless. He had never been in such close contact with a girl. Today was the first time, but he was so embarrassed and ashamed.
Zhao Chengyan didn't notice anything unusual outside, he only took a quick glance and left.
After hearing the footsteps walking away, the two of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Cui Wenxi's heart dropped slightly as he raised his voice. He supported the rockery with his hands and moved feebly outside.
Little did I know that I was squeezed so hard just now that I couldn't move out.
At that moment, Cui Wenxi was so frustrated that she wanted to strangle Yongning to death, not knowing what she was doing.
Zhao Yue pushed her understandingly. She felt hot all over, and he retracted his hand again as if it was burned.
Cui Wenxi endured a frenzied temper and squeezed out of the crack in the stone. Her feet were swaying, and she fell to the ground without being able to stand firmly. She was breathing heavily and her mind was a little confused.
Zhao Yue realized that something was wrong with her, and regardless of the defense between men and women, she quickly asked: "What's wrong with Aunt Four Emperors?"
Cui Wenxi endured the irritation, and hummed intermittently in his throat, "I seem... to have been hit."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yue was confused.
Afterwards, he realized that he had been squeezed into the crevices of the rocks, and his face suddenly turned red, feeling ashamed and embarrassed.
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, he hurriedly explained: "At first I saw your expression was different and felt something was wrong, so I followed you. I never thought that Uncle Four Emperors would also come over. I was afraid of causing him to misunderstand, so I hid in In the rockery, who knows, who knows..."
Cui Wenxi once again cursed the eighteenth generation of Yongning's ancestors. He almost cried in anger and said: "It's better now. Even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won't be able to wash away it."
Zhao Yue: "..."
At this moment, the girl's cry suddenly came from Feng Yi Pavilion, interrupting their chaotic thoughts.
The two of them were shocked and looked over at the same time.
This crying sound was caused by King Qing.
At first, he was chatting with his brothers in the side room, but when he came out to go to the latrine, he overheard the house slave whispering that Li Nu was restless. After hearing that Prince Qing and his wife were having a divorce, he secretly went to Changle Hall to inquire about it. .
Zhao Chengyan was angry at that time.
That raccoon slave was Liu Sheng's nickname. He was raised by Yong Ning. He had the appearance of a boy and a girl, was a wild man, and was very good at coaxing women.
Zhao Chengyan naturally looked down on such lowly maids who betrayed their appearance, but Ms. Cui was a living beauty, and it would be reasonable for an unscrupulous rogue like Li Nu to secretly covet her.
Zhao Chengyan immediately went to Changle Hall to check without thinking too much.
Just now he saw Cui's master and servant at the rockery from a distance, but there was no trace when he found them. He was even more angry and annoyed, and went to catch the person with a serious face.
Unexpectedly, when passing by Fengyi Pavilion, he heard something like a noise in the bamboo forest over there. Zhao Chengyan couldn't help but have wild thoughts. He thought that Mrs. Cui was really seduced by Liu Sheng, so he rolled up his sleeves and went to investigate.
As a result, a pair of wild mandarin ducks were frightened!
The men and women who were caught and raped by him were naked. He didn't recognize the girl, but he recognized the husband. Who was Liu Sheng, the raccoon slave? !
Zhao Chengyan was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment.
Yong Ningyang's face actually had sex behind her back, and was even caught and raped by him, Prince Qing.
This is absolutely ridiculous.
The commotion was so loud that Cui Wenxi and the two people on the rockery side also heard it. She was afraid of being misunderstood, so she quickly told Zhao Yue to leave quickly.
Zhao Yue also knew that it would be hard to tell if this matter got out, so she immediately left the scene, but turned back after a while because she met Eunuch Wei on the road looking for someone.
The master and servant hurriedly came over to deal with it. As long as a third person was present, there would be no groundless speculation.
Not long after, Fang Ling also came over with her maid and mother-in-law. She was quite surprised to see Master Zhao Yue.
Zhao Yue was not as at a loss as she was just now, and said, "I was passing by here just now and saw that the Fourth Emperor's aunt was in something strange. What on earth is going on?"
The maids and ladies hurried forward to help Cui Wenxi, and Fang Ling replied: "There is something wrong at Shi'an Garden. Princess Su and Princess Duan also drank the Hehuan wine by mistake like the lady, and there is a commotion right now!"
Zhao Yue frowned and said, "It's inappropriate!"
Afraid that Cui Wenxi would lose her dignity, he immediately ordered his mother-in-law to take her to a nearby yard to rest.
After they left, the master and servant heard the commotion in Fengyiting and hurried over to check, only to see that Yongning's lungs were filled with anger.
That Liu Sheng was originally her child, but ended up cuckolding her and getting together with the maid in the mansion, which she couldn't bear.
In anger, Yongning whipped the two of them to vent his anger. The maid cried and begged for mercy, and a bloody drama was staged.
Zhao Yue couldn't bear to look directly at her and advised her: "Auntie, please put this matter aside for now. I just heard that several royal aunts accidentally drank dirty things. You should go and have a look."
After he reminded him, Yongning said "ouch", slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my memory!" Then he said to the slave, "Tie up these two cheap slaves first and throw them into the woodshed!"
Hearing that Cui Wenxi was in the yard near the rockery, the group hurried over to see her.
Now her condition was dire, her mind was out of control, and her whole body was unbearably hot.
In order to relieve her condition, the mother-in-law gave her a bath in cold water.
The coldness stimulated the hot skin, making her confused mind slightly clearer.
Fang Ling hurriedly applied a wet handkerchief to her face to cool her down. She endured the discomfort and even spoke in a slurred tone, "Remember, don't throw me to Prince Qing."
Fang Ling nodded repeatedly, knowing that she was afraid that Prince Qing would take advantage of her, so she hurriedly said: "Madam, don't worry, I will find a way to keep you in Yongning Mansion and prevent Prince Qing from getting close to you."
After a while, Yongning and others came over, and she hurried into the locker room to see Cui Wenxi's condition.
When Fang Ling saw her coming, she felt like a savior and asked quickly, "I wonder if the eldest princess has any antidote?"
Yong Ning was silent, looked at Cui Wenxi and said, "Yes, the old man outside can help."
These words made Cui Wenxi angry. He lay on the edge of the tub and said angrily: "Yongning, are you going to make me mad to death?!"
Seeing that she was angry, Yongning quickly comforted her and said, "Don't be angry. I don't know which bastard made the drink instead of the acacia wine, but the strength of the wine is only temporary, just get over it." "
Cui Wenxi breathed heavily. He couldn't imagine what he looked like at this moment. He was angry and annoyed: "My ancestor! My dignity today has been completely ruined by you. Don't let King Qing take me away later." gone."
Yongning nodded, "It depends on you, it depends on you, it all depends on you!"
Cui Wenxi was afraid that she would be unreliable, so he gave up after a few more words of advice.
Zhao Chengyan outside saw her coming out of the dressing room and asked, "How is Yuanniang doing now?"
Yongning said absently: "It's nothing serious at the moment, just soak in cold water for a while and it'll be fine."
Zhao Chengyan couldn't look straight at her and pointed at her with a disgusted expression on his face, "Sister, you are getting more and more ridiculous. Your house is full of chaos. If word gets out, where will you put your face?"
Yongning said irritably: "Don't say anything anymore, Fourth Brother."
At this moment, Princess Su and Princess Duan in Shi'an Garden were also tortured. This time, it was a female family member who was recruited, and the drink was not on the table. It was really outrageous.
No, the Wenxuan King Zhou Jun, who had long been unable to stand his old mother, was furious and immediately sat down to find out the origin of the Hehuan Wine.
After a lot of interrogation, I finally found out from the mother-in-law that it was another face Zhang Yun who had secretly replaced him, intending to frame Liu Sheng.
Zhou Jun was so angry that he was half-dead. The two men acted so boldly that they even started such a fight out of jealousy. It was really outrageous and unjust, so they immediately ordered the people involved to be executed with sticks.
Zhang Yun was not convinced and was beaten with a stick until he screamed and screamed that he was wronged.
Yong Ning looked heartbroken. It would be a pity if this boy who was only seventeen or eighteen years old was killed with a cane.
Zhou Jun hated the fact that iron could not become steel, so he got angry at his mother and said: "My mother is stupid! Today I almost caused a disaster, how can I spare his life?!"
Yong Ning sat on the Grand Master's chair and said with an unhappy expression: "Isn't he just a young boy with a strong temper, who created..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Jun interrupted: "My mother-in-law will continue to indulge me! If the acacia wine is replaced by poisonous wine, how will you end up today?!"
These words frightened Yongning.
Zhou Jun had blue veins on his forehead, and he said furiously: "My mother is usually negligent, but today Erlang is also here. He is the prince of the East Palace, and will become the king of Datong in the future. If something goes wrong in Yongning Mansion, Our whole family doesn’t have enough heads to chop off!”
Yongning lowered his head and said nothing.
Zhou Jun said angrily: "Your house is in a mess, I'll ask my second mother to stay in the house to sort it out for you." He added, "If these bastard things were spread out today, where would I put my face? "
Yongning was upset and said: "Okay, okay, I will stick to you if you kill me with a stick, I will rely on you in everything."
While mother and son were tugging at each other, the voice of a servant came from outside, saying that King Duan was going back to his mansion.
The two of them hurried over.
At present, Princess Duan's situation is slightly better than before. She was originally happy, but after such a commotion, she was in a terrible mood. She just wanted to go back quickly and not be embarrassed here.
Zhou Jun was in embarrassment and kept apologizing to King Duan.
King Duan pointed at Yongning helplessly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
After all, she is his eldest sister, and she usually gets along harmoniously, so she lowered her voice and said, "Sister, please be more restrained in the future. Don't be as ridiculous as our father."
Yongning said awkwardly: "Lao Wu is right, there will be no next time."
Prince Duan: "How dare there be a next time? If nothing happens to the Crown Prince today, just burn some incense!"
Yongning shut up and said nothing.
After the couple left, the sixth King Huai didn't want to get involved in these nonsense, so he also went back.
Zhao Chengyan on the other side heard that they were gone and didn't want to stay here any longer and wanted to take Cui Wenxi back. But she was unwilling and insisted on staying in Yongning Mansion.
The two had a disagreement, and Zhao Chengyan said through the screen: "This place is a mess, what else is Yuan Niang doing?"
Cui Wenxi had already put on clean clothes, which belonged to Yongning. Her complexion is still a little flushed, her skin is stained with bright colors, and her pair of almond-shaped eyes are moist and charming, making people think.
Knowing her current situation, she said stubbornly: "Shiro, please go back first. I will come back later."
Zhao Chengyan frowned. The Yongning Mansion was really in chaos. He was worried about leaving her here. He said authoritatively: "Let's talk about anything when we get back."
Even if he had to take her away by force.
Seeing that something was not going well, Fang Ling quickly stopped her and said, "Please be patient, sir. Even if you want to leave, you have to say hello to Princess Yongning first."
Immediately order someone to report to Yongning.
Zhao Chengyan walked behind the screen and stared at Cui Wenxi on the beauty's couch.
The girl's whole body was glowing with the beauty of peach blossoms, a kind of beauty that she had never seen before, and there was a bit of charm in her elegance, which made people want to move.
Zhao Chengyan's eyes were glued to her, and he couldn't help but smile, and asked deliberately: "Why doesn't Yuanniang go back to the house with me?"
Cui Wenxi said nothing.
Zhao Chengyan walked towards her with interest. Cui Wenxi tried to avoid him, but he caught his wrist. He gently sniffed the sweet fragrance on her body and said ambiguously, "I'll see where you run away today."
Cui Wenxi broke away in disgust.
At this time, Yongning came over. She was an outsider after all. If Zhao Chengyan insisted on taking Cui Wenxi away, she would not be able to stop him by force.
Although the two were making peace with each other, they had not officially separated yet, so she could not force her to stay.
When the two sides were in a stalemate, Zhao Yue, who was about to return to the palace, heard that Yongning was here, saying goodbye, but actually wanted to spy on Cui Wenxi.
Hearing the argument in the wing, he deliberately coughed and called, "Aunt?"
When Yongning came out of the house, Zhao Yue bowed to her and said, "It's getting late, so I won't disturb my aunt too much. If I go back late, I might make my mother nag."
Cui Wenxi in the room heard his voice and pinched Fang Ling smartly. Fang Ling hurriedly helped her out.
Seeing the master and servant, Zhao Yue bowed.
At that time, Cui Wenxi had a pink face, wet eyes, and no strength in her body. Almost half of her body was leaning on Fang Ling.
Zhao Yue glanced at it and didn't dare to look again, but she couldn't choose to ignore it, so she asked casually: "Is the Fourth Emperor's wife okay now?"
Cui Wenxi did not answer.
At this time, Zhao Chengyan came out of the room, and Zhao Yue called Uncle Four Emperors.
Zhao Chengyan looked at him and said, "Is Erlang going back to the palace?"
Zhao Yue replied: "I plan to go back." After a pause, "Is the Fourth Emperor's Uncle also going back?"
Zhao Chengyan glanced at Cui Wenxi and said, "I'll be back soon."
Cui Wenxi suddenly said: "I am in Yongning Mansion today and will not go back with Shiro."
Zhao Chengyan was not surprised at all, but Zhao Yue deliberately showed a surprised expression. He had already understood something in his heart, but pretended not to understand and asked curiously: "Why doesn't the Fourth Emperor Aunt go back with the Fourth Emperor Uncle?"
Zhao Chengyan: "Your Fourth Emperor's aunt is having a childish temper. Just calm her down later. It's getting late now. I might worry my sister-in-law if Erlang returns to the palace late, so let's go first."
Now that the conversation has come to this point, Zhao Yue can't continue to delay here.
Before leaving, he couldn't help but glance at Cui Wenxi secretly. After all, it was a family matter between the couple. If she hadn't spoken, it would be difficult for him, an outsider, to interfere.
Yongning sent him away, and when he was about to step out of the threshold, Cui Wenxi finally spoke, "Erlang, please stay."
Zhao Yue paused, suppressing the surging undercurrent in his heart, and turned to look at her in confusion.
This time he looked at her openly and without any evasion.
Those eyes were clear and penetrating, as if they had already seen through her difficulties.
Maybe it was his calmness that had some kind of magic power to strengthen people's hearts. She actually felt a little at ease and said slowly: "I would like to trouble Erlang to go to Pingyang Mansion for me."
Zhao Yue said nothing and only glanced at his fourth uncle with his peripheral vision.
As expected, Zhao Chengyan frowned and said, "What are you looking for Pingyang for?"
Cui Wenxi said calmly: "Since Silang won't let me stay in Yongning Mansion, let Pingyang come and pick me up and stay overnight. It won't be too late to come back tomorrow."
These words made Zhao Chengyan angry, "Yuanniang, did you deliberately make trouble with me today?"
Yongning was afraid that the two of them would quarrel, so he quickly smoothed things over and said, "Silang, don't be angry. If you have anything to say, sit down and talk it over."
Zhao Chengyan said angrily: "Sister, it's not that I'm unreasonable, it's that she is being unreasonable!"
Cui Wenxi ignored his anger and asked himself: "Erlang, are you willing to help me with this?"
Zhao Yue did not answer, but looked at Eunuch Wei outside the door. He understood and immediately retreated.
Zhao Chengyan said dissatisfied: "Erlang, this is my husband and wife's family matter, don't interfere!"
Zhao Yue deliberately showed a embarrassed expression.
Cui Wenxi said at the right time: "When Silang asked his sister-in-law to persuade me, she told me that she would respect my wishes in everything. Now that I don't want to go back, and Silang doesn't want to stay in Yongning Mansion, then go to Pingyang Mansion. If you If you still want to stop it, why did you move the Central Palace out to persuade it to make peace in the first place?"
"Yuan Niang!"
"Erlang is also here today. Pingyang will come to pick me up later. You should rest assured. If you insist on making things difficult, won't you be disrespecting the palace?"
These words made Zhao Chengyan angry. He once used the Zhonggong to persuade him, but now she turned against him and used Zhao Yue to move the Zhonggong out to uphold justice.
Now Eunuch Wei has gone to Pingyang Mansion to invite someone over. If he still insists on not letting him go, it will be a slap in Zhao Yue's face. If he goes back to talk to Queen Ma, he will be left behind.
Yongning tried to smooth things over again and persuaded: "Silang, just agree. If you don't worry about the chaos in my house, you should rest assured that Pingyang is there. She is on Wenhua Street and will be there soon. We will send Chang Yue back unscathed tomorrow." That’s why it’s so unpleasant?”
"Sister..."
"Chang Yue has suffered a lot from me today, so please comply with her wishes. Don't make her angry, so as not to hurt the harmony between the couple."
Yongning persuaded him with kind words.
In the end, Zhao Chengyan had no choice but to give up and glared at Cui Wenxi in annoyance before throwing away his sleeves.
After he left, Cui Wenxi seemed to have had his bones removed, and his whole body was leaning against Fang Ling.
Yongning quickly stepped forward to support her and found that her palms were sweating a lot.
Zhao Yue was a man and could not stay any longer, so he said: "I'm going out first. If Aunt Four Emperors orders, you can ask Fang Ling to come over."
Cui Wenxi: "Thank you."
Zhao Yue walked out of the yard on her own.
Yongning still has other things to deal with, so he should deal with them in Anyuan first.
Fang Ling helped Cui Wenxi into the side room and lay down, and said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, the prince is here. Otherwise, I don't know how today would have ended."
Cui Wenxi said nothing.
In the past, she rarely interacted with the prince. As a woman, she never had contact with men except her parents, brothers and husband, so she naturally didn't know Zhao Yue's temperament.
The boy gave her an almost vague impression. He acted in a low-key manner and didn't like to join in the fun. She rarely paid attention to him.
Then again, she had actually heard a lot of rumors about him. She knew that he was raised by Emperor Wu in his early years, and she also knew that he was childlike.
The former Dong Palace must have had some real ability to turn things around. This shows that this person is very deep.
But these two times he impressed her so much that it was hard not to remember.
At the spring banquet, she came to the rescue at the right time and walked Prince Qing like a dog, which really made her happy. And the helping hand just now was just right.
The two attacks saved her from embarrassment. She was silent on weekdays, but she was a reliable person at critical moments.
This was Cui Wenxi's initial impression of him, which was considered positive.
Not long after, the carriage from Pingyang Mansion arrived, and Pingyang came to pick him up in person. Seeing Cui Wenxi's condition, she smiled and joked: "She's so good, why did Aunt Four Emperors become like this?"
Cui Wenxi said angrily: "Don't say anything anymore, I almost lost my life today."
Fangling gave a rough description of the situation in the house, which made Pingyang dumbfounded and said helplessly: "My aunt is as ridiculous as my grandfather."
Cui Wenxi couldn't stay any longer. Pingyang hurriedly called the rough messenger's wife to bring up the chariot. Fangling helped her up, and the group walked to the door of the mansion.
The carriage was already waiting at the door, and Yongning saw them off.
The carriage in the palace was also nearby, and Zhao Yue was sitting in it at the time. When he saw Cui Wenxi getting on the carriage in Pingyang Mansion, he returned to the palace with confidence.
On the road, Cui Wenxi seemed to have no bones, leaning against Pingyang. Her face was still pink and her skin was hot, which showed that she was very energetic after drinking.
Pingyang couldn't bear her breath, and he felt her breath tickling his neck. He couldn't help but said, "Cui Changyue, are you trying to seduce me on purpose?"
The two of them usually have a good personal relationship, and they talk to each other privately, and they don't have so many worries. Now that Cui Wenxi felt safe, he relaxed a lot and deliberately nuzzled her neck.
Pingyang was tickled and chuckled, "It's so restless!"
She went to pinch her waist, but Cui Wenxi refused to let her take advantage and attacked her breasts.
The two of them were not serious in the carriage, and they did not have the dignity of a noble lady at all.
After returning to Pingyang Mansion, Fang Ling gave Cui Wenxi a lot of warm water and wringed a wet handkerchief to wipe her body to cool down.
After repeated tossing like this until the evening, Cui Wenxi's alcoholism completely dissipated. Although his body was still weak, he felt much more relaxed and not as crazy as before.
Pingyang came over to see her.
Thinking of today's situation, Cui Wenxi was still frightened and said to her: "It's not easy for me to escape smoothly today."
Pingyang said seriously: "When you go back tomorrow, have you thought of a plan to deal with it?"
Cui Wenxi snorted coldly, "In the past, we ignored each other, and we'll leave it like that when we go back tomorrow."
Pingyang sighed and said sadly: "It's such a pity that a good couple ended up like this."
Cui Wenxi didn't speak. He just looked at the darkening sky outside the window, wondering what he was thinking.
Pingyang added: "Don't tell me, I went to Putuo Temple to offer incense in the morning, and when I came back in the afternoon, I heard that Eunuch Wei was looking for me. I was quite surprised at the time that Erlang would intervene in the family affairs of you and your wife."
Cui Wenxi came back to his senses, "Thanks to him for taking action. Otherwise, I don't know what the trouble would have been."
Thinking of that handsome and young face, she simply ignored the embarrassing scene on the rockery and commented: "The prince is quite warm-hearted."
These words made Pingyang laugh, and he covered his mouth and said: "Are you drunk and blind? If Erlang is a warm-hearted person, then I will be the living Guanyin."
Cui Wenxi: "???"
Pingyang couldn't help but talk to her about his younger brother, and said: "Don't look at that boy, he knows etiquette, but he is actually mean and cold at heart." He added, "In the early years, my father raised Erlang under his grandfather's knees, and my mother-in-law also He complained to me, saying that he is not close to Dong Gong. In fact, Erlang is indeed not close to us brothers and sisters."
Cui Wenxi was dubious.
Pingyang continued: "You also know the situation of our family. When my father was still the prince, life was difficult. Later, Erlang was born and his grandfather liked him, and things gradually improved.
"My grandfather was arrogant and unruly, and he had a lot of reputations and reputations throughout his life. Erlang was raised under his knees, and he was somewhat tainted with his habits. At that time, my mother was very worried, fearing that he would be as ridiculous as my grandfather. Fortunately, the great scholar Chen Ping advised and guided Erlang, and Erlang did not grow up. crooked.
"However, he has been raised in the hands of his grandfather and has little contact with us. On the surface, he is kind and pleasant, but in fact he is cold and distant. Once, King Su told me that he was afraid of Erlang. When he saw him, he didn't even know where to go. Where to put it.”
These words made Cui Wenxi laugh, "Don't try to fool me."
Pingyang: "What am I trying to do to fool you? Erlang was only nine years old at the time." He paused and said, "It's no wonder that Prince Su has done this. After all, Erlang rarely gets along with us, and he was raised by his grandfather as his heir. He must have some aura and majesty." .”
This surprised Cui Wenxi. The young man looked gentle on the surface, but he had never thought of being cold-tempered.
However, Pingyang still spoke highly of him and said: "Although Erlang has a weird temper, he acts steadily and is an extremely reliable person. If a girl from any family wins his favor in the future, her life will be good."
Cui Wenxi didn't agree with this, "You can't say that. Which emperor doesn't have three thousand beauties in his harem?"
Pingyang did not refute.
Cui Wenxi continued: "The girl's family is just looking forward to monogamy. They don't covet the glory of the husband's family, but they just want to find someone who knows how to be hot and cold. But such a simple thing is extremely difficult."
Knowing that she was feeling this, Pingyang said: "This is probably because we are deeply in love and will not live long." He added, "Xu Lang Qinse and I were in harmony, but God was jealous and took him away early. You and the Four Emperors My uncle and I are a couple made in heaven, but we have difficulties in producing heirs. It has led to such a quarrel, and each of us has his own dissatisfaction."
Cui Wenxi said: "There are chicken feathers on the ground, so don't mention it."
When the two were lamenting that their marriages were not going well, Zhao Yue in the palace had already bathed and freshened up, and the chamberlain was wringing his hair for him.
He wore a plain white cross-collar robe, which was soft and loose, with large cuffs. He looked quite modest and elegant like a scholar.
There was a slight scratch on her arm, which she got on the rockery during the day. Zhao Yue took some ointment to treat it.
After wringing his hair, the chamberlain took a hairpin and tied it up for him.
Zhao Yue got up and went to the desk. She had delayed a lot of things while going out today, so she sat down in front of the desk to handle official duties for a while.
Seeing the official documents being reviewed under his lamp, Aunt Yu frowned and said, "If the official business is not too urgent, Your Highness will handle it tomorrow. Getting up early is better than hurting your eyes under the lamp."
Zhao Yue turned a deaf ear and said without raising his head: "I've been greedy and greedy today. Don't nag me. There's not much work here. I'll finish it in a while."
Aunt Yu was helpless, fearing that he would hurt her eyes, so she turned the candle wick brighter.
This time he kept his word and gave up after only processing five official documents.
He didn't eat anything for dinner, fearing that he would be hungry, so Grandma Yu came to ask him if he wanted some midnight snack.
Zhao Yue replied: "Just make half a bowl of buns."
Aunt Yu immediately ordered to go down.
Zhao Yue remembered Cui Wenxi's unwillingness to return to the palace with Prince Qing during the day, and tentatively asked: "Mommy, I have something to ask, can you help me clear up my confusion?"
Aunt Yu made a "please" gesture. Zhao Yue thought for a while and said, "If a girl is tired of a husband, does it mean she dislikes everything he does?"
This question made Aunt Yu stunned and asked: "Why did Your Highness say this?"
Zhao Yue was a little embarrassed, "I'm just curious."
Aunt Yu pursed her lips and smiled. She had been there and knew that he must be hiding someone in his heart, so she answered: "It depends on what kind of person that girl is."
Zhao Yue: "???"
Aunt Yu: "Usually there are two types of girls. One is just a show-off. This type of girl has no sincerity and can be separated from body and mind. The other is an ordinary good-natured girl who only cares about her husband. You, love, hate, anger, and ignorance can be seen at a glance."
Zhao Yue said softly "Oh" and seemed to be deep in thought.
Aunt Yu was quite curious and asked tentatively: "Does Your Highness have a girl in mind?"
Zhao Yue came back to her senses and said vaguely: "Not sure."
Aunt Yu laughed again.
A while ago, Queen Ma was worried about whether her cubs were bad, but now it seems that there is no big problem, but the requirements for women are a bit high, and ordinary girls are not willing to touch them.
After a while, the buns were delivered, but Zhao Yue didn't take a few bites. He had something on his mind and went to bed early.
All the things that happened during the day lingered in my mind, including the embarrassing guilt in the rockery, the soft fragrance of powder that I touched, and the restraint full of taboos.
Many complex emotions are like cat scratching.
He lay upright on the bed, staring at the curtain with wide eyes, wondering whether she could successfully divorce this year.
After waiting for so many years, there is no harm in waiting any longer. He, Zhao Yue, has a lot of patience.
As for her status as a second wife, it is not a problem in his eyes. He is not obsessed with a woman's chastity. As long as he is willing, he can have dozens or hundreds of virgins for him to pick.
But none of those things were worth a Cui Wenxi, so he was paranoid and only wanted Mrs. Cui and wanted to get her. She has almost become an obsession in his heart, he wants to take that bright moon into his arms and take it as his own.
But what he wants to do now is to keep building a good impression on her, embellishing his face, and making up a bigger cage for her to trick her into getting in.
When Cui Wenxi returned to Prince Qing's Mansion the next morning, Zhao Chengyan had already gone on duty, and the two did not meet.
She took care of some daily affairs in the house.
Fang Ling heard that the maid said that Prince Qing did not return to the house last night. Cui Wenxi was not surprised at all. Anyway, both of them were already in trouble. It just depends on who bows his head first to say goodbye.
But what surprised her was that the girl from the other courtyard was really motivated and came to her door.
I don’t know whether it was Zhao Chengyan who gave her the courage, or whether her ex-child Cui Wenxi was so kind and asked Dr. Qin to go to another hospital. In the afternoon, Yanlan came to visit with a full belly!
At that time, Cui Wenxi was taking a lunch break, and her mother-in-law came to inform Fangling that Yan Lan from another courtyard came into the house to express her gratitude to her mistress.
Hearing this, Fang Ling suddenly became furious, raised her eyebrows, and said fiercely: "What the hell, a nameless outsider has the nerve to enter the house?!"
The mother-in-law said awkwardly: "The girl is pregnant, and the people below don't know how to deal with it. Please ask Madam Fang for an idea."
Fang Ling was so angry that she shook her face and said, "Just wait."
Cui Wenxi was sleeping deeply in the wing room. Fangling opened the door curtain and took a look. After hesitating for a long time, she left. She said to her mother-in-law: "Let the fox girl settle down first, and then we will talk about it after the lady wakes up."
The mother-in-law said hello and hurried down to do errands.
Fang Ling stood at the door, feeling increasingly angry the more she thought about it.
What the hell is this? It’s actually hitting your face!
Cui Wenxi slept for nearly an hour before waking up. Hearing some movement in the house, Fang Ling came in to check and said, "Madam, are you awake?"
Cui Wenxi said "Oh", "I'm thirsty."
Fang Ling hurriedly stepped forward to pour her water, and Cui Wenxi drank half a cup to soothe her throat.
Fang Ling was silent for a while, then she stopped talking and said, "Just now the mother-in-law came from the Xing'anfang Courtyard."
Cui Wenxi was stunned and looked up at her, "What?"
Fang Ling whispered: "That shameless fox actually came to visit, saying he came to say thank you."
Hearing this, Cui Wenxi lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Fang Ling said angrily: "This person has evil thoughts and commits crimes. He just opened a dyeing workshop after giving him some color. Today, I have to teach her a lesson and let her know what the rules are."
Cui Wenxi handed the cup to her. Instead of being annoyed, she even laughed. Her face was very charming and kind. She said kindly: "It's not easy for me to come here on a hot day when I'm pregnant. Please pass on the message." Go down and ask her to come to Yaoguang Garden and let me see her."
"Lady?"
"Go on, I'm getting up."
Fang Ling's head was as big as a bucket when she saw it, and she said in bewilderment: "What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd? Why can't this slave understand it?"
