The third prince looked at the carriage going further away and felt it was a pity, "Why doesn't such a person appear in our Daliao? Ah Cheng, I heard that you have some issues with the wife of the military commander?"
The man with the sword following the third prince was none other than the former Qi Lianzheng.
However, he is no longer the little Qianhu he used to be. He is now a popular figure around the third prince and one of the envoys to Daqi this time.
Fu Tingye recognized him and was naturally very alert. Not only had a lot of secret guards been placed around Hua Qingxue these days, but even the third prince Xiao Han and Qi Lianzheng were probably being watched secretly.
Qi Lianzheng pressed his thumb on the handle of the knife and rubbed it slowly, with no expression on his face.
"Your Highness, you don't know, but this Si Bing's wife once lived in Renqiu City, and I was kind to her... to save her life." He raised the corners of his mouth, showing ridicule, "But in the end, my kindness was avenged."
Xiao Han asked him with interest: "How do you repay kindness with hatred?"
Qi Lianzheng told Xiao Han about that past incident.
He felt sorry for Hua Qingxue's hard life, and gave her the laundry work in the general camp. However, she used those clothes, colluded with everyone, disguised herself as a Liao soldier and sneaked out of the city, letting go of the little girl who was originally in her pocket. Prince!
Afterwards, Qi Lianzheng was dismissed from his post and was ridiculed. And what he couldn't bear the most was that all the humiliation was brought about by a woman!
The third prince Xiao Han laughed, "I didn't expect that A Zheng would also be sympathetic to her. It seems that Mrs. Si Bing is indeed very charming. I want to meet her more and more."
Having said that, he had a headache again, "It's just that Fu Tingye is very guarded. I'm afraid it won't be easy to catch a glimpse of his beauty."
"What's so difficult about this?" Qi Lianzheng smiled coldly, "Your Highness is so noble. If you want to see Si Bing's wife, just come and visit her. Is it possible that she dares to refuse to see the visitor?"
Xiao Han suddenly understood and said with a smile: "Wonderful! No matter how tight Fu Tingye's defense is, I will go there openly! Can he still stop me?"
Qi Lianzheng lowered his eyes slightly, pursed his lips and said nothing. His thumb holding the handle of the knife was still slowly stroking it, one after another...
…
The next day, Hua Qingxue was proofreading teaching materials with Lu Zhengqing and others in the room, when Huan'er came running in with a look of surprise on her face.
"Madam, this is incredible!"
Hua Qingxue was frightened by Huan'er's expression, stood up and asked, "What's wrong?... Mrs. Fu is here again?"
She was really afraid of the old lady, not only because of her mouth, but also because she was afraid of getting sick when she was angry.
"No, no!..." Huan'er's breath was messy, and she shook her head while panting, "Yes, they are flowers... many, many flowers!"
Lu Zhengqing asked suspiciously: "Where do the flowers come from in this winter?"
"I don't know, there are so many!" Huan'er raised her hands and made big gestures, "They are all displayed at the door, they are very beautiful!"
Hua Qingxue felt strange, put on a fox fur cloak and walked outside, "I'll go take a look."
Lu Zhengqing, Liang Wensheng, and Su Shaowen also followed.
When the group of people came to the gate of the villa, they saw countless colorful flowers lined up on both sides of the road. It was so spectacular that they could not be seen to the end.
Because the sight was so amazing, many people came here after hearing the news and kept looking at it in the streets and alleys.
Hua Qingxue summoned a guard and asked what was going on.
The guard said that several carriages loaded with flowers had just arrived. The carriages stopped when they arrived here. The people in the carriages left the flowers and left.
Because the flowers were placed on the road and did not affect other courtyards, it was difficult for the guards to interfere.
But they didn't expect that there would be so many flowers...
In this kind of weather, getting so many flowers is definitely a big deal, and not something ordinary people can do.
Huan'er held her cheek and said happily: "It must be sent by the General!"
… Fu Tingye
Hua Qingxue silently shook her head.
She didn't think Fu Tingye was so sentimental...
It can be seen from the fact that he gave gems in the past.
When others give gems, they will be carefully packaged and placed in an expensive brocade box. Once opened, a delicate fragrance will come out. The sparkling gems are placed in the center of the brocade box, exuding beautiful light.
What about Fu Tingye? A box of gems was thrown at me! The box was just an ordinary wooden box, even with the paint peeling off. How pure and real!
"Since you don't know who it's for, just leave it alone and leave it outside."
Although Hua Qingxue was shocked, she didn't take it to heart.
As he turned around and was about to go back, a rickety sedan came not far away.
"Madam." Huan'er called her and pointed towards the sedan with a wink.
The sedan was obviously headed here.
Hua Qingxue stopped and looked over doubtfully. Who could come to find her? Li Jingnan? Romani language? Or someone else... someone
However, it is neither.
The sedan stopped at the door, and a middle-aged woman walked out of it. She had an unfamiliar face and was very elegantly dressed.
Hua Qingxue didn't recognize it, but some of the people watching did, and they started talking in whispers -
"It's the official media lady Qin!"
"The official media is here, who will propose marriage to Si Bing's wife?"
"Who else could it be! Of course it's General Fu!"
When the woman saw Hua Qingxue standing at the door, she thought she had come out specially to greet her, and said with a smile: "How dare you trouble Mrs. Si Bing to greet her in person? The Nujia Tan family is here today for the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. "
As soon as the four words "Weiyuan Houfu" were said, the crowd became noisy again.
"Did you hear that? It's from Weiyuan Hou Mansion!"
"It's really General Fu who came to propose marriage!"
"Come and see! General Fu proposes marriage to Mrs. Si Bing!"
"General Fu proposed marriage to Mrs. Si Bing!..."
The discussion around her was too loud, and Mrs. Qin looked a little embarrassed. She bowed and said, "Madam, can we go in and talk later?"
Hua Qingxue noticed, however, that she was talking about Weiyuan Hou Mansion, not General Fu.
Although Fu Tingye was indeed the owner of the Weiyuan Hou Mansion, Hua Qingxue knew that if Fu Tingye proposed marriage to her, he would never mention the Hou Mansion, but use his own identity openly.
Hua Qingxue looked at her strangely and said in a soft voice, "What's the matter with you coming here?"
She didn't let the other party in. It was actually the trouble that Mrs. Fu had made a few days ago that left her with a shadow.
Moreover, the room is now full of teaching materials. For the future running of the school, those things are considered secrets among secrets, and Hua Qingxue has to treat them with caution.
When Mrs. Qin saw that Hua Qingxue didn't invite her in, she hurriedly said, "The Nu family was entrusted by Mrs. Fu of Weiyuan Marquis Mansion."
The implication is that I am not a suspicious person.
But the person Hua Qingxue was most nervous about was Mrs. Fu. When she heard this name, her expression changed!
"Mrs. Fu?... What's wrong with her? She's looking for me?" Hua Qingxue stuttered because of her nervousness.
Mrs. Qin's eyebrows showed a smile, "Mrs. Si Bing, this is a good thing, a huge good thing!"
She took out a hard leather book with a gold edge and a red background from her arms, handed it to Hua Qingxue, and said, "Mrs. Si Bing is both talented and beautiful. Mrs. Fu likes it very much. There will be a good time next month, and I want to bring my wife in. Become General Fu’s side chamber and spread the branches and leaves of the Hou Mansion!”
She spoke a lot quickly, but before Hua Qingxue could understand it, Huan'er beside her suddenly became angry.
"You want our wife to be a concubine?!" Huan'er was shocked and angry, "Our wife is a soldier's wife given by the emperor! She is in charge of the world's weapon forging! You want her to enter the Marquis's mansion as a concubine?!"
Mrs. Qin was startled by Huan'er's reaction and hurriedly defended with a pale face: "Ms. Si Bing is of course of noble status, but General Fu is not an ordinary man! General Fu has been granted the title of king, even if he is a concubine, The position of concubine does not aggrieve Madam!"
It's like being a concubine to an ordinary family, and being a concubine to an emperor, is it the same
The people around him exploded.
"...This is different from the comic book!"
"General Fu really wants Si Bing's wife to be his concubine? No way!"
"General Fu has a distinguished status, so it's not surprising to do this..."
"But that's Mrs. Si Bing, it's Sirius descending to earth..."
Everyone was talking about it. Hua Qingxue stood at the gate of the other courtyard, her face turning pale and then red again.
This is the Achilles' heel in her heart!
At first, she was hesitant about whether to be with Fu Tingye because she couldn't accept the marriage system of this era.
Concubine can be bought and sold!
Even if she is the general's concubine, she is still a concubine! A concubine with no human rights at all!
Hua Qingxue believed that Fu Tingye would not humiliate her like this.
But she was still heartbroken. It turned out that in Mrs. Fu's eyes, she was so unbearable that she was only worthy of being a concubine!
Lu Zhengqing couldn't see it, stood up and cupped his hands towards Mr. Tan and said, "Mrs. Tan, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding here. General Fu has never mentioned this matter. Mrs. Tan might as well go back first and ask clearly."
When Qin saw that Hua Qingxue was silent, Huan'er had an angry look on her face, and everyone else had ugly expressions, she knew that her trip today might have been in vain, and she might have offended someone.
She complained in her heart that Mrs. Fu didn't explain the reason clearly, and put on an attentive smile on her face, "In that case... I will go back first..."
As a result, before the carriage could turn around, several fast horses suddenly galloped over!
"How can Mrs. Si Bing be such an extraordinary person and commit herself to being a concubine?! The people of Qi are too wasteful of natural resources! Why don't you follow me back to Daliao and be the princess of that master?"
Xiao Han reined in the reins and spoke in an arrogant and arrogant tone!
Hua Qingxue was startled and looked at the man wearing a gorgeous sword on the horse. She couldn't figure out the identity of the man for a moment.
At this time, someone next to the man said: "Is Mrs. Si Bing's way of treating guests just to make her guests wait outside the door for a long time?"
The voice sounded familiar, and when she saw the man's face clearly, her eyes widened! Shocked and speechless!
—It’s Qi Lianzheng!
"Hua Qingxue, you're fine." The man opened his mouth and mouthed this sentence silently with a strange smile.
Hua Qing stood frozen in place, her hands and feet were cold!
"You... you are..." Why didn't she understand that the person in front of her was the envoy from Daliao who visited recently!
Xiao Han laughed: "Why doesn't Madam Si Bing invite me in? Daliao and Da Qi have signed an alliance and have ceased war and made good friends. Shouldn't Madam Si Bing treat us... as friends?"
Invite them in
What's the difference between that and inviting the wolf into the sheepfold? !
However, Hua Qingxue seriously couldn't find a reason to refuse!
As Xiao Han said, Daliao and Daqi have already been on good terms, and if she shows hostility, it will mean that Daqi has failed and lost its sincerity in signing the alliance!
