Qin Zheng's daily schedule is very regular. He gets up early for a walk, has breakfast, then goes to the study, and then stays in the study all day. Sometimes Ye Zhen will also send some refreshments. He would come to her yard to be with her during dinner, because Ye Zhen would walk in the garden with him in the morning and evening. He always remembered this. Except for those who were unable to go out due to physical reasons, he never missed a day.
Ye Zhen took the candied haws to find Qin Zheng. At that time, he was standing in front of the case, holding a brush and walking like a dragon. His face was like a crown jewel, and his figure was thin. Even though he was ill, he was also a commendable romantic young man.
When he saw her coming back, he put down his pen and asked her with a smile how she was enjoying playing outside.
Ye Zhen said yes, saying that the Kaishi Street was very lively and she saw a lot of strange things: "I bought a candied haws for you to try."
She walked to the desk and saw Qin Zheng writing a scripture.
His handwriting is as thin as the person himself, and very impressive.
Qin Zheng stretched out his palm, and Ye Zhen put her little hand into his palm, and was led by him to sit next to him: "You can eat more if you like. If it's not enough, you can ask the kitchen to cook it."
Ye Zhen held two bunches of candied haws on her lips and smiled. She looked at him seriously and said, "Master Hou treats me so well." She handed a bunch of candied haws to his mouth and smiled innocently, "Master Hou." Try it, it’s very sweet.”
Qin Zheng looked at the candied haws that was handed to his mouth. The candied haws were red and round, and covered with a layer of sugar coating. Even before he tasted it, he could tell that it was really sweet.
However, Qin Zheng didn't eat. He held Ye Zhen's hand with one hand and covered her face with the other. His thumb rubbed the wound on her lip and his eyes deepened: "Why is it hurt?"
As soon as Ye Zhen walked in, he saw the wound on her lip.
Because her appearance is so outstanding, her hands are like catkins, her skin is like gelatin, her collar is like a caterpillar, her teeth are like a rhinoceros, her head is like a rhinoceros, she has a charming smile, and her beautiful eyes are full of hope. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the most beautiful woman in the world.
It's just a little injury, but it's hard for people to ignore it on such a charming face.
His cold fingertips gently pressed her lips, and he saw that her cheeks were slightly red, her eyes were lowered, and she pursed her lips as she seemed a little nervous and a little embarrassed to speak.
"Um?"
She finally raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes full of shyness and coquettishness: "... I accidentally knocked it while eating outside."
Qin Zheng chuckled silently: "What makes it so delicious?"
"Husband, please stop laughing at me."
"You were so careless, but it still hurts?"
Ye Zhen shook her head and said, "It doesn't seem to hurt that much anymore."
Qin Zheng looked at her beautiful and clean eyes, the corner of his eye fell on the wound on her lip, and gently pressed her full lips with his thumb: "Be careful in the future."
She nodded and hummed slightly.
Seeing her serious nod, Qin Zheng lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. She blushed slightly. He licked the wound with the tip of his tongue, lightly and softly, and gradually became heavier. It was numb and slightly painful. Zhen groaned and frowned, pushing him: "Husband, please don't mess around in the holy place of the study."
Qin Zheng hummed and squeezed her waist.
A few days later, Qin Zheng pestered her for a long time at night. He seemed to especially like to kiss her lips that day, and kept sucking the wound on her lips, sometimes lightly and sometimes heavily, and his breathing was intertwined, which was unbearable. Want to cry.
His kiss was as clean as his person, with the faint fragrance of tea, which was fascinating.
Ye Zhen was in a daze. She still remembered that she wanted to catch him a few times to vent her anger. He found out in time and held her little hand, interlocking their fingers and pressing it against the pillow. He kissed her ear and entangled her more deeply. , after a few moments she was begging for mercy, softly calling him "husband, husband"...
Qin Zheng has never been obsessed with lust, and when he meets her, he can always burn countless flames.
When Ye Zhen woke up in the morning, she found that her lips were a little red and swollen. Xiao Xi blushed and felt distressed, and she still felt a little guilty. She thought of the noise that had been going on for half the night... It had always been there, so why was her young lady still pregnant? Not getting up
"Miss, would you like to ask the imperial doctor to take your pulse?"
"Need not."
She didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning. After getting up and washing herself, she lazily sat by the window with her chin in her hands. During lunch, Qin Zheng came over. Ye Zhen stood up to greet him. He shook his hand and stood up. She seemed to feel uncomfortable somewhere. When she looked up at him, she couldn't help but stare at him. Her beautiful face was blushing and slightly annoyed, she was innocent, clean and most charming.
Qin Zheng coughed lightly, turned around and ordered someone to prepare the meal.
The next few days were uneventful, and Ye Zhen did not go out of the house anymore. The wound on her lip had already healed, and there was nothing strange about it. Ye Zhen had nothing to do in the house every day, either walking in the garden. , or ask the kitchen to make some pastries, soups, and medicines to send to the study. She would also go over and watch Qin Zheng copy one scripture after another.
Ye Zhen once asked him why he liked to copy scriptures. Qin Zheng smiled helplessly and shook his head, saying that he was used to it and it didn't mean anything special.
Ye Zhen said, her arms holding him full of dependence and trust.
At the end of May, Qin Zheng got up a little early that day and woke her up from bed. He looked at her tenderly and said, "You used to go to the street alone. This time I will accompany you for a walk."
Ye Zhen buried herself under the quilt and said, "But I'm so tired. I still want to sleep and don't want to move around."
He touched her cheek: "How about tomorrow?"
Ye Zhen smiled and nodded and said okay, then took his hand and said, "Master Hou, please stay with me again."
Qin Zheng lay next to her, patted her back and said, "Go to sleep. I'll get up when you fall asleep."
Ye Zhen hummed, closed her eyes and buried herself in his chest, and quickly fell asleep again.
…
Wei Ziyu had not received news from there for nearly half a month. Since that day, she had not appeared again, let alone in the teahouse.
Anyone who knows Wei Ziyu knows that he has been in a bad mood recently, and no one who is smart will get close to him. Li Wen can guess why Wei Ziyu is in a bad mood. Isn't it because of that vain woman
But she was already married, and his prince didn't know about it, so why did he still miss her
Miss Li is indeed as beautiful as a fairy daughter, but what is the identity of the prince and what kind of woman he wants? Isn't it just a matter of words
He had been cursing in his heart for a long time, but he happened to receive news from outside the palace that Miss Li appeared on the street again and went to the teahouse. Wei Ziyu was overjoyed immediately. Her going there meant that she still had him in her heart. She was thinking of him, but he was not too happy too soon, and heard again: only this time there was a man beside her, and the two of them behaved even intimately.
Wei Ziyu smashed the desk with a slap: "This bastard!"
The people in the hall were so frightened that they all knelt down and shouted at His Highness to calm down, holding their breaths and not daring to come out.
Li Wen also knelt on the ground, thinking that this girl Li was too courageous. She actually dared to bring a wild man to his master. Was it because she thought her life was too long? He still knew Wei Ziyu's thoughts well and said cautiously: "Your Highness, it is said that there are many new things brought by overseas visitors on the market during this period. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Wei Ziyu shook his robe and shouted: "Shut up!"
Li Wen shut his mouth knowingly and hit his head on the ground.
Wei Ziyu's appearance is extremely handsome, with a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows flying into his temples, dark pupils, a high nose, slightly thin lips, and a deep jawline.
Now that he is angry, he is even more heroic. The cold light in his eyes can make people freeze three feet, and his awe-inspiring aura makes people dare not look directly at him.
He took out a piece of letter paper from the desk. The handwriting on the paper was beautiful and neat. He read it word by word and felt the woman's ruthless indifference. The pain and depression in his heart turned into hatred.
She is just a vain woman, why should he still care about her
He held the letter tightly in his palm and sneered.
In half a month it will be His Majesty's birthday. If she really marries a high-ranking official, prince or general, they will definitely meet again.
He didn't believe that she would do nothing by then.
He tried not to think about that heartless woman, but he couldn't help but ask, "What did they do?"
Li Wen shook his legs and said: "In the market, I bought a lot of snacks and three bunches of candied haws. Then I went to the teahouse to rest when I was tired... The two of them were talking and laughing, and their relationship seemed to be very good... "
Wei Ziyu waved down the tea cup on the table: "Shut up!"
Li Wen: "..."
In the next few days, Wei Ziyu's mood became worse and worse day by day. Many people offended his anger and were driven away. Even Li Wen was careful not to be affected.
At this time, Ye Min was still trying his best to get close to Wei Ziyu. Taking advantage of the opportunity to enter the palace to pay respects to the Queen Mother, she always wanted to see him more, and dressed herself up like a flower every day. It's a pity that Wei Ziyu didn't even look back.
Ye Min was extremely angry. Ever since she was little, Wei Ziyu had never given her a chance. She was obviously not ugly, and she was a famous and talented girl in the capital. Her father was in a high position, so why couldn't she get a look back from Wei Ziyu
If she had the same face as Ye Zhen, who would bring disaster to the country and the people, would he see her
Ye Min was a little discouraged. Mrs. Liu said: "The Holy Emperor's birthday will be in a few days. You want to give him a unique gift. If the Holy Emperor is impressed by you, His Royal Highness will naturally not despise you anymore, not to mention that the Crown Prince has reached the age of marriage. , if His Majesty is pleased..."
Ye Min was moved and said: "Is this possible? Last time for the Queen Mother's birthday, I spent half a year copying a scripture, and the prince brother didn't look at me twice because of it. Mom, do you think the prince brother likes me? A woman?"
Mrs. Liu said: "How is this possible? I have never heard of this. Don't be suspicious. Besides, the prince doesn't even have a concubine by his side. How can he have a woman he likes? He's just not enlightened yet."
Ye Min bit her lip. She didn't know why this feeling was getting stronger and stronger. She just felt that Wei Ziyu might have a woman he liked. But when Mrs. Liu said it, she also thought that it might be her imagination. If the prince had a woman he liked, how could he not make any move? With his status, isn't it easy to catch him? Maybe she really had gone astray.
She calmed down and thought about what kind of original gift she should give to the current saint
Recently, the Hou Mansion was also worried about the birthday of the Holy Lord. Ye Zhen went to the warehouse to look at the warehouse. There were gold, silver, jewelry, and precious calligraphy and paintings. Unfortunately, this was not worth mentioning in the eyes of a wealthy country. Ye Zhen didn't think about it. It's too brilliant, it's quite satisfactory but it's just good.
She worried about it for several days, and finally chose a picture to celebrate her birthday. Qin Zhengcai said: "In previous years, all the gifts were handwritten scriptures by me."
Ye Zhen squeezed his hand angrily and said, "Master Hou didn't tell you earlier. If he had known it earlier, I wouldn't have bothered. See if I haven't eaten well or slept well these days, and my hair has fallen out."
Qin Zheng smiled and let her pinch him for a long time: "I think you have nothing to do all day long, so it can relieve boredom."
Ye Zhen said: "I have to serve the Marquis every day, why are you bored?"
He coughed, tapped her forehead, and feigned anger: "Don't talk nonsense."
She blushed: "Master Hou, don't think too much..."
"Well, I didn't think much about it."
“…”
She buried herself directly in his chest and held on to his clothes. Soon the man held her little hand and played with it. She was very happy to hear the hoarse chuckle coming from his throat.
On the day of the Holy Emperor's birthday, Ye Zhen and Qin Zheng got up early, packed up, got on the carriage and rushed to the palace.
Very few people in Beijing have seen Ye Zhen. When she appeared with Qin Zheng, she immediately attracted a wave of admiration and jealousy. Of course, there were also people who sympathized with her because she would soon be a widow. The beauty actually married Qin Zheng who had one foot in the coffin? Ye Xiang is really willing.
Ye Min squeezed her handkerchief tightly when she saw Ye Zhen, who had caused a small sensation, and then she smiled coldly, so what if she is beautiful? Can you still make trouble if you are married? Even if the prince's brother sees Ye Zhen, she is not afraid. Ye Zhen, who has been married before, is not even worthy of being the prince's concubine.
Wei Ziyu put on a black robe, tied her hair with a jade crown, and hung a jade pendant around her waist. She had a pair of sword eyebrows flying into her temples, and her dark eyes were as sharp as knives. The whole person stood there with boundless momentum.
His face was cold, and when he saw that it was almost time, he walked to Linde Hall.
Now the courtiers and family members have all arrived and are waiting. As soon as the prince arrives, the palace where there were many voices falls silent, and they all stand up to salute.
Ye Zhen was sitting next to Qin Zheng, talking to him in a low voice. When she heard the movement, she stood up immediately. She only had time to see a tall and upright black figure walking from the outside of the palace and then knelt on the ground to welcome the prince!
"Come on, please. Today is my father's birthday, so there is no need to be too polite."
This unusually familiar voice almost immediately made Ye Zhen raise her head. She looked at him suddenly, and he was actually looking at her, with a cold light in his eyes and a deep expression that made it impossible to see any strange emotions. The shock and surprise on her face were undisguised, her red lips were slightly open, and her face was slightly pale.
Soon, she lowered her head hastily, and Wei Ziyu could only see the top of her dark hair.
Wei Ziyu clenched his fists and looked away without trace.
Even though there were so many people, he still recognized her at a glance. He finally saw a different look in her eyes. It was no longer as gentle and calm as before. She looked at him like a stranger, thinking that In this way, the friendship that once existed can be completely wiped out
And she was sitting next to Qin Zheng, Ye Xiang’s eldest daughter, Ye Zhen? Li Zhen
He endured it again and again, and finally restrained himself from losing his temper and taking her away from here.
Ye Zhen was helped up by the maid beside her. She sat back down next to Qin Zheng and saw him smiling gently, seemingly not noticing anything strange.
She sat aside, quietly lowering her eyes and saying nothing. She never raised her head to look at Wei Ziyu, but she could clearly hear his voice, listen to his eloquent talk, and receive compliments.
In fact, in the memory of the host, she has never been to this banquet. Her relationship with Qin Zheng is not too bad, but it is not good either. She always has a man in her heart and is worried about him. Over time, her body has become... It was getting worse. She happened to be ill in bed during those few days, otherwise she would have known in advance that the man she was thinking of had a noble status and was not a little scholar.
She and he might have another ending.
He would not refuse anyone who proposed a toast to Wei Ziyu. After drinking several glasses of wine, his eyes always seemed to glance over the woman opposite him.
Wei Ziyu had heard some rumors about Ye Zhen. She was the eldest daughter of the Ye family but did not grow up in the Prime Minister's Mansion because she had a bad fate. A Taoist monk once predicted that she would die young if she continued to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Ye Xiang's beloved daughter was so eager that she could only be sent away. She was not taken back until she reached fifteen years old and got engaged half a year ago. She married into the Hou Mansion half a year after returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Over there, Qin Zheng suddenly held Ye Zhen's hand and asked her warmly: "Are you feeling unwell?"
Ye Zhen smiled and shook her head and said, "It's okay, I'm just too nervous. I'm afraid I'll make a mistake and cause trouble for the Marquis."
Qin Zheng said: "Don't worry, you have done a good job."
Ye Zhen: "Thank you, Mr. Hou."
Qin Zheng stroked the hair that fell around her cheek, and she lowered her head with a smile.
Wei Ziyu picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. The bottom of the glass hit the table with a loud bang.
Li Wen, who was waiting on the side, had his eyes widened. Although he guessed that Miss Li might appear at the Holy Lord's birthday, he never thought that Miss Li would become Miss Ye, and her husband was still the sick Qin Zheng. !
These two people were affectionate and affectionate in front of his prince openly...
He looked down at the prince's smiling but sinister face and couldn't help but shudder.
During this period, Ye Zhen went out, and the maid accompanied her to the dressing room. When she came out again, the maid was not there. She looked in the corridor and was about to go back. Her wrist tightened, and then she was staggered away. Seeing the tall and condensed back of the man, he shook him a few times but failed to shake him off. He could only say respectfully: "Prince, please let go."
She heard him squeal, and squeezed her wrist harder. His steps were so fast that she had to trot to keep up, until he pulled her around the complex corridor and reached a rockery in the garden. He pushed her against On the stone wall, his body pressed against her, and his fingers pinched her chin, "Miss Li, who are you?"
Ye Zhen looked up at him: "Then who are you? Are you Mr. Wei or His Royal Highness?"
"We are each other." Wei Ziyu hooked her lower lip and said, "So your so-called wishful man is Qin Zheng, the sick man. Are you so eager to be a widow?"
Ye Zhen: "Don't curse my husband, I believe he will live a long time - ugh!"
"Shut up!" He suddenly pinched her chin, and she was speechless. His eyes looked very evil, "Don't call him husband in front of me, he is nothing!"
She looked at him with her eyes wide open, her eyes bright and unwilling to be outdone. Wei Ziyu was in a daze for a while. A long time ago, she also liked to look at him with such beautiful eyes, but then she looked at him with joy and attachment. , unlike now, which is all confrontation and indifference.
He felt a pain in his heart and suddenly lowered his head and kissed her lips.
This time was different from the last time. Last time he bit her, this time he was really kissing her, ferociously and passionately, as if he had poured all the confusion and pain he had felt during this time into it. His lips and tongues were entangled, and even the hug was... It was so tight that it seemed to break her back.
As he kissed, he suddenly tasted a hint of bitterness. He opened his eyes and saw her eyes were covered with tears, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes. He was stunned for a moment, and finally relaxed, and the kiss became gentle and lingering, and his fingers touched the corners of her eyes. .
"Zhen Zhen..."
"Your Highness, I am married, and now I am Madam Hou."
