Married to the East Palace for the second time

Chapter 33: Leaving the house

Views:

Since the other party is determined to reconcile, Cui Wenxi will not embarrass him. Afraid that he would change his mind the next night, she ordered her maid to go to Tingxue Hall and ask Nanny Xue to come over as a witness.

After learning that Zhao Chengyan and the Cui family had reached a reconciliation, Nanny Xue came over quickly. As soon as she entered the wing, she said anxiously: "Madam, please think again!"

Cui Wenxi showed a helpless look and said slowly: "Mommy has served Si Lang for many years. Over the years, when I married into the Zhao family, I relied on her to persuade me when I had many things I didn't like. Now that I have come to an end, please understand me. difficulties."

Aunt Xue sighed heavily, looked at Zhao Chengyan and said, "Mr. Lang..."

Zhao Chengyan seemed to have made up his mind and said: "I have made up my mind, don't get in the way."

Nanny Xue was about to speak but stopped.

Cui Wenxi made a gesture to Fangling, and Zhao Chengyan wrote the letter himself.

In the past, the couple had quarrels, but today they are extremely calm. Zhao Chengyan is considered a gentleman for once. The words he wrote in the divorce letter did not slander the woman at all. First, he expressed his gratitude for the joy of the union of the couple, and then the joy and anger of seven years of getting along. Sadness and joy, and finally the peace and blessing of achieving reconciliation.

Every word is sincere and no tricks are played.

After writing the letter of separation, Cui Wenxi took it and looked at it carefully. There was nothing wrong with it.

With her approval, Zhao Chengyan copied a copy.

The two of them each hold one copy and sign it. Tomorrow they have to get it to the government for filing. Cui Wenxi's name on the jade certificate must also be removed. There are many complicated procedures to follow.

After the agreement with Lishu was finalized, Cui Wenxi unceremoniously asked for a village, dozens of acres of land, two shops, and a two-entry house.

Zhao Chengyan agreed very generously and included a box of cash.

It can be seen that he is eager to end this marriage.

The next day, the couple's divorce papers were sent to the government office for filing, and the procedures for changing the properties and fields were also completed. Once all procedures are completed, Cui Wenxi will move out of Prince Qing's Mansion.

While going through various formalities, Cui Wenxi returned to her parents' home and informed the Jin family of the news of their reconciliation with King Qing.

Jin was quite surprised and asked in shock: "Did Prince Qing agree to divorce?"

While Cui Wenxi peeled the lychees on the table, Fangling brought up the letter of Heli written by King Qing, along with a land contract for Cui Wenxi as a gift from Heli.

After seeing it, Mrs. Jin felt mixed emotions in her heart, not just a taste of pleasure: "I thought you would still cause trouble, but I never thought that we would leave so smoothly."

Cui Wenxi loved the sweetness of lychees, the rich juice, and they were really good. He joked: "If I hadn't ordered a coffin in the outer room and lay down in it to go on a hunger strike, how could I have escaped so quickly?"

Hearing this, Jin frowned and said, "It's simply unseemly."

Cui Wenxi pursed her lips and smiled, "Mom, it doesn't matter what the means are, as long as I can escape from that fire pit." He added, "Fortunately, that bastard has some conscience, and the land I asked for was quite generous. , it’s better to go through the name change procedures these days than to come out in despair.”

Jin sighed: "I will be very worried about your future."

Cui Wenxi said carelessly: "What are you worrying about? I have to invite Pingyang and Yongning to Changlingfang to celebrate in two days."

Kim: “…”

Cui Wenxi: "Let's set off two more firecrackers by the way."

Kim: “…”

I’m really convinced!

In this way, Cui Wenxi and Li's matter was accepted by default, and everyone was calm.

However, Queen Ma in the palace was still very sad to learn that King Qing wanted to change the jade certificate and remove her name. She said to the saint, "The fourth child has really reconciled with the Cui family."

Zhao Junqi didn't take it seriously and said: "With his behavior, it will happen sooner or later."

Queen Ma: "Think about the time when the two got married, and how could I have imagined that it would not come to an end?"

Zhao Junqi: "This is Cui's bad luck. If nothing happened to her, wouldn't the two of them be fine?"

When it came to this matter, Empress Ma also found it incomprehensible, "This is probably because God is jealous. She has a good family background, a good figure, a good mouth, and good knowledge, but he won't let her be a mother." After a pause, "It's too bad for the hospital. I've looked at it several times, but nothing has been found, which is really surprising."

Zhao Junqi commented: "In terms of family background and knowledge, he is quite good. Apart from being unable to have children, there is no other fault."

Queen Ma: "My character is also good, but this time it's the fourth child who has let me down."

After a while, Zhao Yue came over to report on the political affairs. When she heard the two talking about Prince Qing, she deliberately asked out of curiosity: "What are you talking about?"

Empress Ma: "Your uncle, the fourth emperor, sent a memorial to change the jade certificate and remove the Cui family."

Zhao Yue raised her eyebrows, "Leaving?"

Empress Ma nodded, "I heard that the foreign concubine was lying pregnant in the coffin and threatening her life. Your uncle, the Fourth Emperor, had no choice but to allow her to reconcile with the Cui family."

Zhao Yue pursed her lips and smiled, "Uncle Four Emperors are confused."

Queen Ma: "I am indeed confused, but benevolence will lead to benevolence. He has been looking forward to it for so many years and finally got a blood relative. It is reasonable to reconcile with Mr. Cui."

The two had a discussion about Prince Qing and his wife.

Zhao Yue presented political documents, and Zhao Junqi said impatiently: "Son, when can I become the Supreme Emperor and stop worrying about these trivial matters?"

Zhao Yue: "..."

Empress Ma couldn't help but interjected: "After all, let Erlang get married and have a family before you make any plans."

Zhao Junqi: "Then make arrangements as soon as possible." After a pause, "How did you become a mother? You don't even have snacks."

Queen Ma: "..."

Seeing that the two of them wanted to talk to each other again, Zhao Yue said wisely: "Since dad is worried, I won't bother you there." After that, he hurriedly left.

Halfway down the road, Zhao Junqi seemed to have remembered something and said: "Next month it will be the 60th birthday of the Duke of Zhen. If you go there for me, I won't be too lazy to join in the fun."

Zhao Yue paused and said dissatisfied: "Dad, can you be more presentable?"

Zhao Junqi said confidently: "Didn't you like to join in the fun a while ago?"

Zhao Yue: "..."

Afraid of being pissed off by his father, he left with his hands behind his back in frustration.

Cui Wenxi moved out of Prince Qing's Mansion within two days. After taking care of the house, he sent a message to Pingyang and Yongning, inviting them to come over to celebrate.

The two of them went to the door together.

Cui Wenxi led them around the courtyard, and the three of them walked on the veranda with assorted flower windows. She joked: "I will stay here from now on, but it is not as luxurious as Prince Qing's Mansion."

Pingyang held Yongning's arm and replied: "What should I call you in the future? How about I call you Aunt Four Emperors?"

Cui Wenxi: "No, I can't take advantage of your Fourth Emperor Uncle in vain."

Yongning praised: "Your yard is good, no worse than Yaoguang Garden."

Cui Wenxi was dubious, "Real or fake?" He paused, "Where's the young man I met at Changyin Pavilion last time? Why didn't I take him with me?"

Hearing this, Pingyang couldn't help but said: "Auntie is really stubborn, and is she playing with the young man again?"

Yong Ning rolled his eyes at her, poked her forehead and said, "You are just stubborn and don't know how to adapt. You are willing to live and die for the sake of your consort. There are so many men in the world, why waste your great youth?"

Cui Wenxi also said: "The eldest princess said it well. Life is only a few decades and passes by in the blink of an eye. You still have to love yourself more so that you will not leave this world in vain."

Pingyang pointed at the two of them, "You two have the same chemistry." He added, "Just wait, the Duke's wife may start arranging a blind date in a hurry again."

Cui Wenxi: "..."

Her mouth is simply poisonous!

After a few people visited the yard, they returned to the wing to have tea and chat.

It's hot now, so there's an ice cream in the room, which is cool.

Lychees in this season are the favorites of girls. Chilled almond syrup and cherry soup are the best for ironing clothes to relieve the heat.

However, it is cold and cold, so it is not advisable to eat too much.

Just now he mentioned the boy who was making tea in Changyin Pavilion. Yongning couldn't help but feel a little angry. He said unhappily: "That boy, I've been so angry that my liver hurts these days." , I won’t eat soft or hard food.”

These words made the two girls curious. Pingyang smiled and said: "What kind of husband have I never seen my aunt on weekdays? Is there meat that you can't eat?"

Yong Ning: "Don't I just want to be so clean? It's quite interesting to have sex with a young man who is as white as a piece of paper. But that boy, in a dirty place like Changyin Pavilion, has received many whips on his body. But he refuses to obey. I pity him for his poor background, but I also hate him for not knowing how to appreciate others. Since he has done such a job of selling flesh and blood, why do he pretend to be noble? "

Cui Wenxi picked up a lychee and said, "Looking at your tone, I've hit a snag."

Yongning said unhappily: "Unlucky." After a pause, "But that boy is really my favorite. He is good at tea art, proficient in arts and sciences, good conversationalist, and quite knowledgeable. He should have been brought up by a wealthy family. Later, his family declined. , reduced to this."

Cui Wenxi said "Ouch", "Since this is the case, I guess money and things outside of me can't shake it."

Yong Ning: "Come and give me some advice, I just want to have a taste."

Cui Wenxi smiled and waved his hand, "It sounds like a thorn in the side. You'd better not provoke others. Let's look for someone else. Isn't it better to find someone who won't cause trouble for you?"

Yongning raised his eyebrows and said, "I just want to have a taste."

Her attitude made Pingyang laugh, and he spat: "My aunt is trying to force her into prostitution."

The three of them joked with each other and talked about anything they could get along with. In the past, Cui Wenxi would have been more cautious. But now that she has taken off her identity as Princess Qing, she is unscrupulous and lets herself go completely.

Pingyang asked her what her plans were in the future. She was not anxious to find another marriage at all, and she didn't even have such plans in the future.

Speaking of which, she is the youngest among the three, but she lives a more transparent life than them. Yong Ning strongly agrees with her attitude and said: "It took me more than 40 years to be completely uncontrolled. It's a good life like this. "

Cui Wenxi held her chin with one hand, "What people say is terrible. I have been married to Prince Qing for seven years. Being idle for seven years was the biggest sin of my Cui family. Now I am finally free of it."

Yongning laughed at himself: "I am promising and have given birth to several sons, but they are useless. I care about this and that all day long. They have the shelter of me, the eldest princess, and they think I have embarrassed them."

These words made the two of them laugh.

Yongning waved his hand and said: "It's not good, it's better to be lovable than the little husband you raised. If you are unhappy, he will still wag his tail to make you happy."

Pingyang is relatively traditional and conservative, "You can't say that. After a hundred years, my aunt will have to be remembered by future generations. It would be too arrogant if there are no people to worship her."

Yongning: "Ouch, you're just thinking nonsense."

The three of them were having a heated fight when Fang Ling came to ask if they wanted to pass on the meal.

What we prepared today is the snakehead pot. The pottery pot on the small red clay stove is steaming. The snakehead soup is milky and fragrant, with a little wolfberry embellished in it, which is bright and eye-catching.

The meat of snakehead is tender and firm, so it is not suitable for making fish breasts. The best way to eat it is to slice it into thin slices and scald it.

Since there is an ice cooker indoors to cool off the heat, the heat from the small red clay stove is not a concern. Yongning likes hot and sour dipping sauces. He dips the blanched fish fillets into the dipping sauces and eats them. They are tender and smooth and very appetizing.

Pingyang likes the taste of clear soup.

A little bit of codonopsis pilosula and other substances are added to the snakehead soup, which gives it a somewhat fresh and sweet taste, which is really good.

The three of them were in a good mood and shared a bottle of wine.

Cui Wenxi feels that this little life is really good. She has a family who cares about her, and a few friends to hang out with. She doesn't have to worry about her livelihood, and there are no more worries about being urged to get married. It's really wonderful.

After spending the day peacefully, I never thought that when Jin came over the next day, Cui Wenxi hadn't gotten up yet.

Jin couldn't look straight and said disgustedly: "What time of the day are you still staying in bed?"

Fang Ling smiled and said, "Princess Pingyang and Princess Yongning came to have a drink yesterday. The lady drank a few more drinks when she was happy. She would not be like this on weekdays."

Jin said she was disgusted, but in the end she still felt sorry for her difficulty in managing the family business in the past, and said: "Let her sleep enough before waking her up. I have something serious to say."

Faang Ling responded "Hello".

It was about a quarter past three when Cui Wenxi got up to freshen up, put on plain white house clothes and went to the side hall. Seeing her coming, Mrs. Jin said angrily: "Have you had enough sleep?"

Cui Wenxi said "hmm" and sat down on the Grand Master's chair.

Jin couldn't help but poke her forehead and said disgustedly: "How many days have you been away from Prince Qing's Mansion and you are already so sloppy?"

Cui Wenxi looked at himself up and down, "Is it good?"

Jin curled her lips and said secretly: "When I came here, I heard that King Qing had taken a concubine and brought the outer chamber into the palace and made her a concubine."

Cui Wenxi said matter-of-factly: "I moved my position just for the outer room."

Mrs. Jin didn't like hearing this, and pinched her hard, "Can't you be more attentive, save some face, and seek advancement like that outsider?"

Cui Wenxi: "..."

Jin muttered: "I'm so worried. When you and Prince Qing were making peace, I was worried that you couldn't get away. Now that you're free, I'm worried that you won't take over."

Cui Wenxi: "..."

Jin kept mumbling, "I am a worried person, and I will never let Prince Qing take advantage of me. If you and Li Hou lead a worse life than him, I will not be happy even if I am in a coffin in the future."

Cui Wenxi couldn't hold it in any longer and said dissatisfiedly: "Mom, can we be reasonable? I don't need others to judge how I am living without Prince Qing's Mansion. As long as I feel comfortable."

Jin: "Having said that, I'm not convinced."

Cui Wenxi was completely lying on his back, "Do you still want me to suppress him again and find someone younger than him for the second marriage, who is handsome, has a high position, and is not married yet to earn face?"

Kim: “…”

Cui Wenxi said earnestly, "Auntie, let's be realistic. Prince Qing is a prince and has reached the top. You can't still expect me to climb into the palace and crush him?"

Jin: "Don't talk about this. I'm here today to tell you that your father and mother-in-law will return to Beijing on your father's birthday. Almost all the dignitaries in Beijing will come to support you that day. Then keep your eyes open and give me a good selection." A satisfactory husband is better than anything else."

Cui Wenxi said perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, I won't disappoint my mother."

Seeing her perfunctory attitude, Mrs. Jin was dissatisfied and said: "I'm telling you seriously, don't take it seriously."

At that time, Cui Wenxi did not take her words to heart. Who would have thought that his younger sister Cui Wenjiang was really fiery-eyed. At a glance, he could tell that the prince looked at his eldest sister in a strange way. He showed no restraint in the defense of men and women, and was presumptuous and arrogant.

Cui Wenxi said, this is simply poisonous!

Even if she wanted to have fun with the young man, she didn't have the guts to go whore to the prince!
