Zhao Yue stared at her, quite oppressively.
Cui Wenxi chose to ignore it, not wanting to stay here too long, and said: "You guys continue to discuss chess, I will withdraw now."
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yue suddenly said: "Pingyang asked me to ask you something. I wonder if Yuanniang would be willing to delay the answer for a while?"
Cui Wenxi: "???"
Zhao Yue looked at the Cui family and his son, "Please stay away for now."
Cui Pingying didn't ask any more questions, but looked at her daughter in confusion.
Cui Wenxi said nothing.
The father and son stood up and left. It was difficult for the man and woman to be alone together. Faang Ling came in from outside and was considered the third person. Eunuch Wei was standing guard outside the courtyard of the main hall, as if no one was allowed to enter.
Zhao Yue picked up the tea cup and took a sip without saying anything.
Cui Wenxi stood motionless, while Fang Ling stood at the door feeling uneasy.
I don't know how long it took before Zhao Yue slowly said: "Why are you hiding from me?"
Cui Wenxi replied without changing his expression: "Your Highness is worrying too much. I am indeed unwell."
Zhao Yue snorted coldly, looked at her and said, "You got rid of the fetus behind my back. You, Mrs. Cui, are very capable."
As soon as these words came out, Fang Ling at the door knelt down in panic, not daring to express her anger.
Cui Wenxi, on the other hand, was extremely calm and argued: "Your Highness, what you said is wrong. I took some medicine last month to recuperate my body. The child came at the wrong time. I was afraid that it would be a deformity, so I took this step."
Zhao Yue narrowed her eyes and looked at her without saying anything.
Cui Wenxi continued to lie: "Your Highness also knows that I am suffering from infertility. It is not easy to get such a treasure. I wish that the mother is more valuable than the son, so why would she be willing to do something stupid?"
These words really made Zhao Yue laugh angrily. He stood up slowly, walked to her side with his hands behind his back, and asked condescendingly: "Is this true?"
Cui Wenxi nodded and said with great sincerity: "Of course it is true." He added, "His Royal Highness will be the monarch from now on. The child pregnant by me, regardless of male or female, must always have a status. It is very helpful to the mother's family. I am pregnant How could you be so ignorant?"
Zhao Yue didn't believe her nonsense at all, pointed at her and said: "If you have such ambition, why should I be so worried?"
Cui Wenxi bowed his head.
After all, that guy was engaged in politics. Although he usually pretended to be docile and well-behaved in front of her, his inner strength showed up when something happened, giving people a calm and oppressive force that made her very uncomfortable.
Fang Ling, who was kneeling at the door, was also worried, fearing that her master would touch the evil scale and cause trouble.
Zhao Yue was really upset, but he couldn't get angry at her. Firstly, she was hurting him and he had to be a man; secondly, he was afraid that she would rebel and go against him.
When Cui Wenxi was wondering how the day would end, he suddenly leaned over to her ear and grinned, "Look."
Cui Wenxi looked at him sideways with a straight face.
The guy pointed at his little tiger fangs and said, "Fangs, bite people."
Cui Wenxi: "..."
I don't know why, but at this serious juncture, she actually relaxed and stretched her neck to his mouth angrily, "Bite whatever you want."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Yue really opened his mouth and bit it.
Cui Wenxi said "ouch" and hit him twice.
Fang Ling, who was kneeling on the ground, took a sneak peek, and the tense atmosphere that was originally tense suddenly relaxed. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and felt more and more that the prince was very clever. If it were Prince Qing, he would probably have started arguing and shouting.
This is also the strength of Zhao Yue. He is very good at coaxing people. He knows that there is no point in pursuing blame, so he retreats and stabilizes her, "How long will you stay in the Duke's Mansion?"
Cui Wenxi did not answer.
Zhao Yue poked her arm, "What do you want me to ask you?"
Cui Wenxi thought for a long time and then said: "I can't serve His Highness personally."
Zhao Yue looked at her sideways, "Go back to Changlingfang, I won't touch you."
Cui Wenxi was silent.
Zhao Yue seemed to have guessed her hidden thoughts, and said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Do you think I can't do anything to you by hiding in the Duke's Mansion? You are so naive."
Cui Wenxi hurriedly said: "Your Highness is joking, I don't have any."
Zhao Yue tilted her head, "Then I ask you to go back to Changlingfang, why don't you reject me?"
Cui Wenxi made an excuse and said: "My mother-in-law has been having nightmares these days, and my mother-in-law is not in Beijing. I want to spend more time with her."
Zhao Yue said nothing.
Cui Wenxi was afraid of irritating him, so she hurriedly pulled his sleeves to act coquettishly, and said, "I'll stay for five more days, okay?"
Zhao Yue held her chin and examined her carefully: "Want to withdraw?"
Cui Wenxi: "..."
The guy leaned into her ear and whispered: "How can there be any reason for you to have sex for nothing?"
Cui Wenxi wanted to avoid him, but his waist was restrained. She stiffened her neck and didn't dare to move.
Zhao Yue sniffed the scent of powder on her body, and she tensed up her skin again.
As if he had a clear glimpse of her thoughts, he murmured: "You treated me like a young man, and acted unscrupulously just because you didn't have children. Now that you have my baby, you can't afford to play anymore and want to get out. I'm right." ?"
Cui Wenxi twitched the corner of her mouth and said forcefully: "I don't dare."
Zhao Yue snorted, "Don't you dare? Are you so brave? You tie me up and ride me like a horse. There are endless tricks. Have you ever annoyed me?"
Cui Wenxi: "..."
Zhao Yue glanced at her out of the corner of her eye, "Your father and brother are outside. If they knew you were so presumptuous, I don't know what they would think, huh?"
Cui Wenxi didn't like hearing this, and retorted: "Then I have to ask your highness, your nephew. He relies on his power to force me, my former aunt, to hang out with you. I wonder what Queen Ma feels about it, huh?"
The atmosphere became tense again, and Fang Ling, who was kneeling on the ground, fell into panic again.
The two stared at each other, and they didn't know how long the stalemate lasted. Zhao Yue said: "If I bully others, then I will follow my grandfather's example and snatch you into the East Palace when you were Princess Qing. Why did I wait until today to take action?"
Cui Wenxi was stunned.
Zhao Yue continued: "If I use my power to bully others, I will threaten the Cui family and send you to the bed the day after your reconciliation. Why bother to deal with you like this
"Cui Wenxi, there are many methods in front of me, and each of them is very easy. Why don't you think carefully about why I chose to use the most troublesome and inefficient method to lure you into the trap by selling my lust?"
These words frightened Cui Wenxi, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Zhao Yue approached her and said word by word: "Do you think I am just a novelty and want to have fun with you to relieve my boredom?"
Cui Wenxi took two steps back and said unconvinced: "I, Mrs. Cui, have been married for the first time and have no children, and I am His Highness's former aunt. Do you really want to bring me into the palace?"
Zhao Yue did not answer but asked: "Can you agree?"
Cui Wenxi refused: "No."
Zhao Yue took another step forward and said with sharp eyes: "Look, you have been playing with me from the beginning holding something to relieve my boredom, right?"
Cui Wenxi did not answer.
Zhao Yue laughed angrily, "You want to get out now, don't you?"
Cui Wenxi said bravely: "I want to preserve the dignity of both parties." He added, "His Highness is young and energetic, and ignores ethical principles. As an elder, I should correct him in time. What's wrong?"
Zhao Yue was once again angered by her nonsense, "Where is the ethical code?"
Cui Wenxi argued: "Prince Qing is still alive now, and he is your uncle. My ex-wife and my nephew are involved. How do you want me to deal with myself? How do you want the palace to treat me?"
Zhao Yue narrowed her eyes, "Since you care so much, then he won't have to breathe tomorrow."
Cui Wenxi's eyelids jumped wildly, and she grabbed his arm and said, "Don't do this!"
Zhao Yue's eyes fell on her hands, and her mood was uncertain.
Cui Wenxi was afraid of irritating him, so he hurriedly said: "I promise you, I will return to Changlingfang in two days, and I will not avoid you anymore."
Zhao Yue stared at her without speaking.
Cui Wenxi was horrified by that look, and it seemed that he had just realized that he had been restraining his fangs.
Now she was in the Duke's Mansion. Zhao Yue didn't want to make the matter a big deal, so she poked her forehead angrily, "I'll come find you another day. During these days, you can think about why I didn't use force on you, but I did." Use coaxing."
After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and left.
Cui Wenxi looked at the background where he was walking away. After he disappeared, Fang Ling, who was kneeling on the ground, let out a long breath and was finally relieved.
Cui Wenxi stepped forward to help her stand up. Her legs were weak and she said, "My wife is in great trouble."
Cui Wenxi was upset and said: "Cheer up, don't let your father and brother find out the clues."
Zhao Yue's expression was not good when she left the house. Cui Pingying obviously noticed something was wrong and immediately went into the yard to ask Cui Wenxi. She lied and said that Pingyang had a small problem with a certain husband and that she was the one who arranged it, and Zhao Yue came to her to accuse him.
Cui Pingying and his son believed it to be true and did not think about them at all because it was too ridiculous.
After the master and servant returned to Jinyuyuan, Cui Wenxi sat on the edge of the bed, looking very worried.
Like an ant on a hot pot, Fang Ling said anxiously: "Looking at the prince like that, he won't give up. Has the lady thought of a way out?"
Cui Wenxi didn't say anything, only thinking seriously about the words he left before leaving, and suddenly asked: "Is it possible that that kid is seriously planning to hang out with me?"
Fang Ling was stunned and asked in surprise: "Why are you so confused? How could the prince and you get together?"
Cui Wenxi nodded, "It is indeed unlikely that we will get together. He is the crown prince of a country and is six years younger than me. Although my background is not bad, I have married someone before and was his former aunt. With the reputation of being unable to have children, how could he possibly think about my future?"
Fang Ling: "This is exactly the reason. Previously, the lady was pregnant, and the servant was dazzled by the benefits and was happy for the lady. Later, it was the lady who woke the servant up. There are many obstacles between you and the prince, how could you get together?"
Cui Wenxi thought for a while, "However, what he said before leaving did have some truth. He could clearly use his power, but he still wanted to coax him. This shows that he put a lot of thought into it."
Fang Ling didn't take it seriously, "So what?" She added, "I don't believe that he can disobey the emperor and empress in the palace for the sake of my wife. I beg to marry you, my former aunt, as the empress of the palace. If the prince really does this, I will I am completely convinced that he has his wife at heart."
After hearing this, Cui Wenxi was stunned and said: "You are crazy."
Fang Ling probed: "If the prince really did this, would you dare to risk your life and fortune?"
Cui Wenxi was scared, "Don't be joking, I know how much I weigh."
Fang Ling also felt that it was impossible. After all, it required great courage for the prince. He had to contend with almost all secular ethics, and it was related to the judgment of the former court, the harem and the eyes of the world.
Cui Wenxi returned to Changlingfang a few days later. It was already winter, she was afraid of the cold, and the supply of silver carbon had already started in the house.
When she was bored, she would read the county annals to pass the time, and roast two taro kueh in the charcoal pot, which was very satisfying.
Last time Zhao Yue had some concerns at the Duke's Mansion and didn't say many things clearly. When he learned that she was back, he left again.
Cui Wenxi was eating persimmons in the side room. The current fire crystal persimmons are very popular among the people in the capital. They are rich in color, thin as paper, and sweet in taste. They are cold in nature and should not be eaten too much.
Suddenly hearing Fang Ling's footsteps outside, she opened the door curtain and walked in, saying, "Madam, the prince is here."
Cui Wenxi looked like she was lying on her back, and Fang Ling was waiting for her to rinse her mouth and wash her hands.
After finishing everything, she went to the side hall. Zhao Yue was sitting on the imperial chair, wearing a light gray cloak. She had changed her appearance and looked much older.
Cui Wenxi looked awkward, saluted him and said, "His Highness looks like this, and I feel terrified when I look at him."
Zhao Yue: "You didn't do anything wrong, what are you worried about?"
Cui Wenxi curled his lips and couldn't bear the unfamiliar face, so he ordered Fang Ling to get hot water to wash him off.
It was a bit cold in the side hall, so Cui Wenxi took him to the side room and twisted the handkerchief himself to wipe the grimace clean bit by bit.
Zhao Yue sat on the stool politely and let her use the handkerchief to clean the makeup on her face.
The fair skin was revealed bit by bit, and she patiently took off the fake beard. After cleaning the entire face, she used the facial oil in the makeup package to moisturize his skin.
The weather was dry in winter, so she put a little facial grease on his face with her fingertips and gently pushed it away with her fingertips.
At that time, the two of them were very close, their facial fat had a light fragrance, and their outlines were outlined little by little with their fingertips.
The atmosphere was suddenly ambiguous, and Zhao Yue felt a little moved. He held her waist and came close to him, raised his head and said, "Kiss me."
Cui Wenxi reminded: "His Highness said he would not touch me."
Zhao Yue: "I won't hurt you."
Cui Wenxi then kissed him lightly.
Who would have thought that that guy would be so passionate that he would grab her neck and not let go.
The room was already warm as spring, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Cui Wenxi resisted at first, fearing that something would go wrong. Unfortunately, the boy was very motivated and had a lot of skills in seducing people.
This temptation made Cui Wenxi crazy. He was afraid that he would be tempted by him, so he hurriedly pushed him away and said: "Don't do anything wrong!"
Zhao Yue had a blushing look on her face and said with a smile: "Yuan Niang is scared?"
Cui Wenxi ducked away as if he had seen a ghost, and said a little lost his temper: "Don't do anything wrong."
Zhao Yue snorted, "I said I won't touch you, why are you hiding from me?"
Cui Wenxi stared at him warily and said nothing.
Zhao Yue felt a little proud, "Look, you miss me a little, don't you?" After a moment, he said, "Maybe you miss my body a little."
Cui Wenxi: "..."
Zhao Yue pursed her lips and smiled, "Yuan Niang, have you ever thought about trying to get closer to me? Get closer to my East Palace?"
Cui Wenxi said angrily: "Do you think I'm stupid? I just crawled out of Prince Qing's pit of fire, and then I crawled into your impregnable golden cage?"
Zhao Yue didn't like hearing this, "Why did the East Palace become a golden cage?"
Cui Wenxi said without hesitation: "Are you trying to force me to death? Since you have coveted me for so many years, you naturally know what my temper is. I can't even tolerate Prince Qing's wife, how can I tolerate your harem?" "
Zhao Yue did not answer but asked: "If I make the so-called lifelong relationship with King Qing when he asked to marry you, will you be gullible again?"
Cui Wenxi was stunned.
Zhao Yue pointed at her and said: "Look, after experiencing it once, you won't be fooled a second time, right?"
Cui Wenxi was choked for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
Zhao Yue said rationally: "Yuan Niang is a person who has experienced things. Naturally, she also knows that many things require careful management. I, Zhao Yue, only believe in one thing, follow my heart." He added, "I covet you a lot. Nian, I want to stay with you, I want to keep you by my side and have fun every day, I only want you, can you trust me?"
Cui Wenxi said nothing.
Zhao Yue spread her hands and said: "You can't tell yet, are you crazy? Your kid is six years younger than me, and he is the crown prince of a country. He will be an emperor in the future. How would you abandon the harem for a second-married woman?" Are you ignoring Qian Jiali?"
Cui Wenxi: "..."
Zhao Yue: "Look, this is prejudice."
Cui Wenxi stared at him for a long time before saying, "Are you crazy? It's known throughout the city that I had no children for the past seven years. What's the benefit of provoking me?"
Zhao Yue did not avoid this topic, "But it is true that the Tai Hospital did not find anything wrong."
Cui Wenxi was silent.
Zhao Yue: "Things are dead, but people are alive. If I really want to think about it, there are hundreds of ways to solve it. Do you understand?" He added, "It is true that it is as you said, between you and me. There are many obstacles in the way, not only the ethics, but also the continuation of the heirs. Many problems need to be faced and solved by me, but it is good for you to deal with it directly for me without saying hello."
Cui Wenxi didn't want to hear this, so he just said: "Just let me go. I just want to live my life in peace and contentment. I don't have any ambitions."
Zhao Yue sneered, "If I let you go, who can let me go?"
Cui Wenxi: "..."
Zhao Yue: "You should never let me taste the taste of a woman. It's good. I want it again."
Cui Wenxi twitched the corner of his mouth, "Is there no solution?"
Zhao Yue said unceremoniously: "Fight to the end."
Cui Wenxi no longer wanted to deal with him, and ordered him to leave: "You can get out now."
Zhao Yue said shamelessly: "If you don't get out, I will feel unhappy."
The two of you looked at me and I looked at you, big eyes and small eyes.
Zhao Yue said very gracefully: "I'm not here to argue with you today. Arguing with women is of no use."
Cui Wenxi said angrily: "Then just sit here, Your Highness."
After saying that, he was about to get up and go out, but Zhao Yue said: "Bring me two fire crystal persimmons."
Cui Wenxi said angrily: "I'll hold you to death."
After a while, Fang Ling brought a plate of fire crystal persimmons. Zhao Yue poked one with a wheat straw and sucked it, and said: "Winter is the best time to eat hot pot. Prepare a snakehead pot at noon. Put a little Codonopsis pilosula in it for the best nourishment." "
Fangling: "..."
Are you planning to treat Cui Zhai as your own envoy
Seeing that she didn't move, Zhao Yue looked at her and said, "I can't take advantage of your master in vain. You go to Wei Shaozhong and ask him to provide money to buy it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Wenxi outside said angrily: "I can afford two snakeheads."
Zhao Yue grinned, and Fang Ling also laughed. She suddenly felt that the way the two of them got along was quite interesting, but it was much more interesting than getting along with Prince Qing.
She bowed out respectfully. Cui Wenxi outside saw her smiling and said unhappily: "Why are you laughing?"
Fang Ling pursed her lips, "It's cold outside, Madam, you'd better go inside. Your Highness has already used several Fire Crystal Persimmons, and I guess he doesn't intend to save any for Madam."
Cui Wenxi: "..."
This scoundrel really thinks he is his own nest!
