But it is one thing to be seen by him, and it is another thing to say it from my mouth, so I was speechless for a while and could only be silent.
Qi Sheng turned around, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said without thinking, "I met her at Zhang's house."
I was stunned for a moment, and then I realized that this "she" was referring to Jiang's.
I said "um" to indicate that I was listening. Seeing that Qi Sheng was silent again, I simply took a few steps back, wrapped my cloak and sat on the fence of the pavilion. I looked up at Qi Sheng's profile, Very enthusiastic, he asked, "Then what?"
Qi Sheng paused and continued: "She had just arrived at the Zhang family at that time, because there are very few daughters in the Zhang family's generation, Mrs. Zhang arranged her in the yard next door to the Zhang family and accompanies her on weekdays. Zhang’s family studied together, and Xi’s daughter was red. Once I accompanied Chengzu to play in the Zhang family’s garden, I saw her.”
I really don't think there is anything bizarre about this story. It's just a bit of a Cinderella tone, which is similar to the love legend of a poor boy and a rich girl that our compatriots yearn for all day long. It's just that in reality, most of the princes marry princesses, and the wealthy daughters also marry the second generation of officials. Therefore, the love between Qi Sheng and Jiang's family is destined to only blossom and not bear fruit.
I couldn't help but sighed and shook my head.
Qi Sheng glanced at me in surprise, but didn't say anything.
Although this story sounds nothing new, but in the principle of being a good listener, I still asked in a timely manner: "Then what?"
Finally, there was a sentence that caught Qi Sheng's mind, he paused, and then continued: "Although Zhang was already twelve or thirteen years old at that time, but since he was a acquaintance with me since he was a child, the Zhang family did not stick to it. She, she knew that I was gone, so she went to play with me again. Jiang Shi was right behind her, she looked dry and thin, and always lowered her head slightly, which was very different from Zhang Shi who likes to talk and laugh. I have always disliked Mrs. Zhang's arrogance. I looked at Mrs. Jiang a few more times without realizing it. When Mrs. Zhang saw her, she hated her, and from time to time I would go to trouble her. The more you return to protect the Jiang family."
I nodded knowingly and asked, "And then what?"
Qi Sheng replied, "I only thought that Jiang's family was more generous and reasonable than Zhang's. If she were my wife, she would definitely be a good queen in the future."
When I heard this, I couldn't help but be stunned. As soon as I asked for a "one-for-all" queen, can she be a good queen? However, I couldn't ask that, so I asked again, "And then what?"
Qi Sheng was silent for a moment, then smiled self-deprecatingly, "Then I made Mrs. Zhang the crown princess, and Mrs. Jiang chose to marry the fifth."
I asked cooperatively, "Why?"
Qi Sheng replied softly: "Because Chengzu was so fond of me when he was alive, he would take me with him every time he went to the army, so that the first emperor was quite afraid of me after he succeeded to the throne, and he liked Lao Jiu again, so Empress Song always thought about it. I want to change the old ninth as the prince. My situation is very difficult, and the relationship is too extravagant for me. The fifth and I have always had a close relationship, and the two of us have discussed it. Die and then live. Our relationship was first broken because of the Jiang Clan. First, I told Lao Jiu and the others to relax their vigilance against Lao Wu, and then Lao Wu would contact the lieutenant general for me."
I suddenly realized, and at the same time, I felt more sympathy for the unfortunate child of King Zhao. What's wrong with this, do you think it's not good to find an excuse, do you have to put a green hat on your head
"Because of the Jiang family, the Zhang family has been making trouble with me, and the late emperor called me over several times to reprimand me. But although he was angry, he felt relieved about me, because I was at odds with the Zhang family, and the Zhang family would I won't be in the same heart as me, and a prince who only cares about his children's personal feelings and doesn't care about his own morals at all has no threat to him, as long as he wants, he can seize this trick at any time and destroy me."
I didn't feel a little surprised, and without thinking about it, I asked, "He's your biological father, right?"
Qi Sheng was stunned for a moment, but his brows furrowed.
I thought about it for a while, and felt that something was wrong with what I said, so I quickly explained, "I mean he doesn't really look like your father."
Qi Sheng's brows furrowed even tighter. Under the moonlight, his face was pitch black.
When I was nervous, my tongue started to knot, and the more anxious I became, the more I couldn't tell, "The late emperor is your father! Absolutely! No! No! No! It's not like that, it should be..."
"Enough!" Qi Sheng suddenly shouted coldly.
Feeling guilty, I honestly shut my mouth. The two faced each other quietly for a while, and just as I was about to open my mouth, Qi Sheng frowned subconsciously. I hurriedly raised my hand and declared, "I want to ask what then? What then?"
I don't know what Qi Sheng was thinking, he suddenly looked at me and smiled, and after a while, the smile on his face disappeared, he turned his head and stopped looking at me, and said lightly: "I told Mrs. Zhang, I can't figure out what happened to Jiang's involvement. Since she is married to the fifth child, she is my sister-in-law, and I can't have an affair with her again. Then finally the incident of falling into the water happened. After that, you will know."
I didn't think much about it, and then asked, "Then what?"
He was slightly startled, thought for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "I later found out that because of me, the fifth child almost tortured her to death because of his love and hatred for Jiang Shi. She suffered a lot of crimes. , but he never complained to me." His voice became more and more low, and at the end he almost said to himself, "I'm sorry for her, she didn't care about life and death for me, but I can only give her food and clothing for the rest of my life. No worries."
Hearing this, there is really no need to tell the story, but I asked the question for a while, and without thinking, I asked again: "Then what?"
Qi Sheng turned to look at me, the corners of his mouth tensed down again.
I immediately reacted, and I couldn't wait to pat myself on the thigh. You said that this is a good thing. When you hear this story, you should either applaud or shake your head and sigh. How can you think that I will ask "and then" endlessly like this!
I was really sleepy, I just wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible and go back to sleep. Seeing his expression, I was busy trying to make up for it, shaking my head and sighing in a long voice: "Oh, it's obviously a good marriage. , but such a man marries another woman instead of marrying, it's a pity, good luck fooling people!"
As soon as the words are finished, it's okay now, Qi Sheng's face is really dark.
…
Qi Sheng looked at me silently for a long time, and then asked, "Pengpeng, are you really incomprehensible, or are you pretending to be confused?"
I was very annoyed by his habit of being reluctant to explain everything and asking you to understand it yourself. I lowered my head and thought about it, looked up at him, and asked straight to the point, "What do you want to express?"
Qi Sheng looked at me and said nothing.
I wondered if he didn't understand, so I changed the word again: "In other words, how far do you want me to be? For example, how many times do you want to meet? How many words do you need to say when you meet? Enthusiasm. Is it better to be cool or cool? If you smile, what degree of curvature of the corners of your mouth would you be most satisfied with?"
Qi Sheng still didn't speak, only his chest heaved violently.
I was really afraid that he would explode with rage like a toad, so he simply opened up and said, "Qi Sheng, I actually understand what you said, you are just trying to explain, whether it's your marriage for the sake of power. Regardless of whether you have the Zhang family or you are forced to abandon the Jiang family, you are all helpless. You are essentially a man who is affectionate, righteous and responsible. However, have you ever thought about the Zhang family you are worthy of? It's already dead, but the Jiang family you're sorry is still living in the palace, that's the truth! You're going to bring down the Zhang family now, so you're going to come to me again. Isn't that right?"
Qi Sheng clenched his fists tightly and stood there looking at me silently.
My legs were empty for a long time, I felt a little numb, I couldn't help but put one leg on the railing and looked up at Qi Sheng, "You can't blame me for thinking this way, you keep doing this, man! I said Qi Sheng Ah Qi Sheng, can you live without pointing at women in your life? After all, you have learned so many tricks of the emperor's mind to govern the country. Could it be that you have remembered a beauty trick? Don't bother, there are thirty-five tricks left. !"
Qi Sheng stared at me and just asked, "Pengpeng, you hate me, don't you?"
I think this question is very subtle and difficult to answer. I thought about it and decided to change my way of thinking to solve the problem, so I quickly replied: "I don't hate it, I understand you quite a bit. This is the truth. If I were to take your place, I would also have to cut off the wings of the Zhang family. I am the queen now, the queen from the Zhang family, if you cut off the Zhang family's power, you are plucking my hair, what can I do
Qi Sheng did not answer.
I smacking my lips, "Okay, even if I'm not afraid of pain, I don't want to be this scumbag, but the problem is if you pull me out into a bald chicken and then point at me and say it's a phoenix, who are you going to fool? Who believes it?"
Qi Sheng stood silently for a long time, then said softly, "You see so clearly..."
I sighed: "Everything is here, it's hard for me not to understand."
Qi Sheng laughed at himself and said, "I knew you were pretending to be stupid all the time."
I helplessly shrugged my shoulders, "It's actually really hard for me to pretend to be stupid."
Qi Sheng looked at me for a moment, and said lightly, "Lao Jiu is not a good friend, so you really believe him?"
I widened my eyes and looked at him in surprise, "No, I don't even believe you, can I believe him? After all, the two of us have slept in the same bed, what kind of friendship can I have with him?"
Qi Sheng was speechless, just looked at me and sighed.
I smiled and said frankly: "But now I understand that neither the Zhang family nor Lao Jiu can fall, and I'm still waiting for the two of them to carry my queen's sedan chair. Besides, the emperor doesn't have to rush. They have to be eradicated, don’t the monarchs pay attention to the technique of checks and balances? Wouldn’t it be nice to have them check and balance each other? How good are people to carry the sedan chair!”
Qi Sheng also smiled, "Pengpeng, you are a woman I have never seen before."
I nodded, "um", and secretly said that you have never seen a woman like me. If you wear it to Zhang's, I guess you have never seen a man like Zhang's...
Qi Sheng suddenly reached out to me.
I was stunned, not knowing what he meant.
Qi Sheng's hand stopped in mid-air and tickled me slightly. I hesitantly put my hand on his, he pulled me up, suddenly grabbed my waist with both hands and lifted me to the railing, then turned my body and told me to face the pavilion outside.
In the distance, looking up is the bright twinkling stars in the night sky, and looking down is the lights in the city.
I rub, although I am a man at heart, I have to admit that Qi Sheng's trick is really good!
I heard Qi Sheng whispering behind me: "Pengpeng, let's make a bet, okay?"
