As soon as Gong Xiangxiao walked away, Yun Fenghuang quickly retracted his hand, pushed Qi Jiulu, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped his fingertips with a look of disgust, sneered: "Is Chao Jingyou very proud? She has been there since she was a child. I just like to pretend to be good and move towards you. Now I can be regarded as a serious young lady of the Qi family, so congratulations!"
"You told me not to pay attention to her since she was a child. When did I not listen to you?" Qi Jiulu straightened his clothes, and Shi Shiran came up to hug her and kissed her, "You are so cruel, in front of the regent prince, The attack was so heavy, I almost..."
Yun Fenghuang glanced at him sideways, whether to smile or not: "You almost fought back? You still looked at me!"
"How is that possible?" Qi Jiulu hugged her and whispered softly, "Since you have been chasing me all over the house to vent your anger, when would I dare to lay a finger on you? I mean, I almost knelt down in fear. !”
Yun Fenghuang grabbed his arm around her waist and said angrily: "You don't dare to touch a finger of mine? Let me see how hard you move your hands and feet!"
Qi Jiulu took advantage of the situation and kissed her again, and said softly: "We haven't seen each other for three years...can't you pity me?"
"Why are you pitiful?" Yun Fenghuang snorted, his tone still cold, but he rubbed the place where his nails had just been scratched, and said, "I feel sorry for you as a newlywed, and I still feel sorry for your wife. The eldest son is a new guest in the regent's palace, and even the prince thinks highly of him, so he doesn't hesitate to help you have an affair with the palace?"
Without waiting for Qi Jiulu to answer, she tapped the back of the man's hand and said sternly, "I don't care what agreement your family has with the Chao family. Back then you promised me that if I married that wretched maid Chao Jingyou, I would have no descendants! Now you have broken your promise. , thinking that you still know how to come to the palace to see me, I won’t care about this with you, but! If you dare to let Chao Jingyou give birth to an heir, then don’t worry about the thousand and ten thousand difficulties you have, from now on we will be Enemy for all eternity, either you will die! Or I will live!"
"Giving birth to an heir? Does she deserve it?" Qi Jiulu said scornfully, "If they hadn't caused trouble, it would have been our wedding day! These people have harmed us for a lifetime, even if they are all cramped, skinned, broken and ashes thrown away , it’s hard to eliminate the hatred in my heart!”
His tone turned gloomy, "I didn't expect you to enter the palace... I originally thought of marrying Chao Jingyou according to my family, to dispel their suspicions, and then come to the Imperial Capital instead of Jiuzhang. After meeting you, I would return Chao Jingyou." All her dowry people will be handed over to you, and it will be said to the outside world that I caught her having an affair with her dowry servant, and I killed her in a rage! It is to treat the person in his own way! When the time comes, the Qi family will be together The Chao family cannot be reconciled no matter what, and we are far away in the Imperial Capital, beyond the reach of the clan, so the old immortals cannot make the final decision on all kinds of things!"
Next, he and Yun Fenghuang would look for opportunities in the Imperial Capital, taking advantage of the complicated situation to turn against the guests, so that the Sangzi clan members could not only no longer dictate to them, but even had to take the resources of the clan with both hands... This plan was secretly planned by him and the Jiang family. It was finalized after the first discussion, and it originally went very smoothly.
Unexpectedly, just when he was about to leave, Yun Fenghuang suddenly entered the palace.
Words cannot describe the despair and anger in Qi Jiulu's heart at that moment.
Because of the Jiang family, he never considered coming to the Imperial Capital and Yun Fenghuang was already famous and had his wife.
He always felt that Yun Fenghuang was waiting for him in the Imperial Capital.
Over the past three years, he had lived through more than a thousand days of suffering, living with patience, and living with full of expectations. Finally, he managed to coax his clansmen, suppressed his anger and disgust, and married someone whom he and Yun Fenghuang both loathed and even hated. Chao Jingyou... was about to embark on the journey to reunite with his sweetheart, when fate gave him an incredible blow!
"... You know that I have already entered the palace, why are you here?" Yun Fenghuang listened, was silent for a moment, and sighed, "Actually, I have always found this strange. So, it was also Chao who did it? What is behind them? Is this the Duke of Yi State? Yes, Chao Jingyou and the Chao family's children suffered a lot in my hands back then. Now that they know that I am in the Imperial Capital and you want to come to the Imperial Capital, they will either stop you or not, so what? Did you think of starting from me? It’s also my fault that I lost my vigilance while living at my aunt’s house. When my aunt told me about this that day, I was stunned for a long time and didn’t come back to my senses.”
Qi Jiulu lowered his head, hugged her tighter, and said in a cold voice: "How can I blame you? No matter how good your aunt is, she can't be compared with her biological parents. She has been living under the shelter of others for three years. I don't know how cautious she is in her words and deeds. … When I first arrived in the Imperial Capital, I bribed the servants of your aunt’s family to find out. They all said that you were gentle and courteous, well-informed and sensible, and that you were generous to your servants…”
These were originally good words, but Qi Jiulu felt heartbroken when he heard them.
He grew up with Yun Fenghuang and knew very well how unscrupulous, indulgent and unruly his fiancée's nature was.
Her reputation in the imperial capital for being docile and sensible, in Qi Jiulu's opinion, was a reflection of how much she had been wronged and depressed.
Originally, they were supposed to grow up pampered step by step in the Northland, then get married with the blessings of the two families, and live a life of love and affection.
Qi Jiulu even named his eldest son or daughter...
Therefore, he will never be able to forgive those people forever and ever.
After calming down, Qi Jiulu said word by word, "When you came out of the carriage to drive me away, I said that I was not able to accompany you to the Imperial Capital at that time, but one day, I will be where you are! Even if you enter the palace now... so what?"
Yun Fenghuang was silent for a while, then suddenly relaxed and leaned towards him.
Qi Jiulu lowered his head and kissed her temples gently.
Neither of them spoke for a moment.
"Back then, Mrs. Wang did everything she could to show her kindness to my sister." Yun Fenghuang looked at the cold stars in the sky and spoke slowly, "At that time, because of my mother, I always favored my sister and gave her good clothes. My sister picks the good jewelry first, as well as food, clothing, housing, and transportation. My sister chooses everything before it’s my turn... Although my sister always watches my words and says she doesn’t like what I like, I still feel unhappy.”
"So my mother privately said that Mrs. Wang is not a good match, and I also echoed her words, saying that my sister has no discernment and no price. So why did many well-matched young men choose someone who did not live up to expectations?"
"But I also feel in my heart that Wang Shizi is very good to my sister."
"When my mother found out, she was very angry. She called my sister and me to knock on the door, saying that the lintel of the Wang family was much lower than that of the Xie family. The Wang family was too slow to say that she wanted to marry a daughter of the main branch like my sister, even if she wanted to marry a side branch of the Xie family. Women, you also need to consider whether their parents are easy to talk to and whether they are willing to give them some dignity when they refuse? So what right do you have to treat your sister badly? "
"Perhaps because my sister was not convinced, my mother pointed at me and gave us an example, saying that you are the eldest son of the Qi family, and you were taught by the court at a young age. You have very heavy homework. What do you do every time I go to play with you, no matter how busy you are No matter how tired you are, you still want to stay with me for a while, and you won't get angry with me? Isn't this just the friendship we have grown up together since childhood? Isn't it also because I am the legitimate daughter of the Xie family, and I am your equal, so no matter what you want in your heart If you don't want to, you must give me this face because of Mr. Xie? If you are a servant, who dares to disturb your rest, will you forgive me?"
"I didn't really listen to what I said at the time, because if you listen to me, you won't be so polite to the Chao family's children!"
"Then something happened to my sister, and I thought, you really can see people's hearts in times of crisis."
"From that moment on, I no longer trust the people around me, even you. You said at that time that you would never marry Chao Jingyou, but I actually didn't quite believe it... I learned from Ningbi Palace that you did marry her two days ago. , when I was angry, I felt that men in the world are all the same, and the eternal vows of eternal love are just impulsive!"
When she was in the Northland, she had an out-of-character temperament, and it was rare for her to speak calmly like this. Now, while talking, she pushed Qi Jiulu away and said calmly, "But you came tonight and said these words, which I like to hear. I am very happy."
Qi Jiulu felt an inexplicable fear in his heart. He couldn't help but hug her again and said hoarsely: "Well, why are you saying this? I know you have been wronged these two days. Don't worry, I have entered the Regent's Palace now. From now on..."
"My mother lied to you." Yun Fenghuang shook his head, pushed his hand away again, and said calmly, "Half a year after I came to the Imperial Capital, she wrote to my aunt, asking her to help me find a good husband. In fact, she wanted to find a good husband for me. It’s not that I’m entering the palace now, my aunt has almost arranged for me to start seeing each other.”
Qi Jiulu was startled, and then said: "Really? But it doesn't matter. Aunt Jiang is your mother, and she must think about you. At that time, I couldn't see any hope of coming to the Imperial Capital to reunite with you. Of course she would I’m worried that you’ll be missed from the flowering period.”
As for the blind date, he thought, "Although the only wife in my heart is you, I married Chao Jingyou after all. Aunt Jiang's move is probably because she is afraid that I will underestimate you. If you want me to know, I am hesitant." I don’t dare to renew my relationship with you anymore... You don’t need people to marry you. These are all the painstaking efforts of mothers, why should I care? If we have a daughter in the future, you and I will definitely do the same. She calculated it."
Yun Fenghuang looked at him, chuckled, and said: "My mother... Of course she is very good to me. But to you... "
She pondered for a moment, and finally made up her mind to speak out, "My mother actually didn't really expect that we could renew our relationship. She said and did that just for revenge... One was to take revenge on Chao Jingyou, and the second, It’s to take revenge on your mother!”
There is no need to explain why Chao Jingyou is taking revenge on Chao Jingyou. Not to mention the taunting Chao Jingyou did. Even if she didn't do it, given Jiang's personality, the concubine she raised with her own hands was ruined. Her own daughter was forced to leave her hometown. She had been following her before. A girl whose own daughter is not good at all takes advantage of the situation and steps on her two daughters to get the upper hand. How can she bear this? !
As for taking revenge on Mrs. Chen, Yun Fenghuang said quietly, "My mother has always felt that your mother is indifferent to me and prefers Chao Jingyou's style, which fuels Chao's ambition. Your mother is your own flesh and blood, so my mother hopes that you Grow farther away from her and let her taste the feeling of separation... So you don't have to take what my mother has said to you in the past two years too seriously. She did it all on purpose."
Qi Jiulu opened his mouth, feeling a little at a loss. After a while, he said quietly: "Do you... want to break up with me? Otherwise, why would you say such a thing?!"
Before Yun Fenghuang could speak, he had already said hastily, "I'm not a three-year-old, so I don't know who has good intentions and who has bad intentions? Aunt Jiang does not like Chao Jingyou, but so what? Do you and I Do you like Chao Jingyou? But Aunt Jiang has never said a bad word about my mother. She even often advises me to spend more time with her and be more considerate to her... But you know what my mother is, and I have nothing to say to her! "
He recalled his interactions with Mrs. Chen when he was a child, with a hint of irritation on his brows, "Not every mother is as kind and amiable as Aunt Jiang, who does her best to care for her children."
If you talk to your mother-in-law very much, do you think my mother-in-law will still be such a good person
She was determined that the more she persuaded you to get along with Mrs. Chen, the more conflicts you and your son would have, so she put on a kind and amiable face and tried to persuade others to do good... Yun Fenghuang sighed in his heart, saying that Mrs. Chen was the only one who didn't feel sorry for her. Of course it's impossible for a son, but not every mother is as good at coaxing others as Jiang, especially those who coax her own children and those of other people's children.
"You know my mother is trying her best to care about me, so she can't be devoted to you." She calmed down, raised her eyes and said, "I don't know what she has said and done to you in the past two years... If you If you didn't come tonight, if you said something tonight that made me unhappy, I would just let you be deceived by her. That's just the way I am. But you came, and you made me very happy. I… "
Yun Fenghuang was silent, and under Qi Jiulu's almost pleading gaze, he said calmly, "So I will tell you the truth... My mother is only sincere to her own children and the children she raised. Others This kid, no matter how warm she looks on the outside, she actually has no feelings at all in her heart. She is just using you."
"As for me… "
"We're already like this, so what's the point of being entangled anymore? I don't mind cuckolding Your Majesty. Your Majesty actually doesn't care if his concubines other than Yue Jieyu are devoted to him... But you shouldn't continue to hang around me. .”
"In the past, I wanted you to think about me all the time. That was because I thought we would get married and become husband and wife. If you don't revolve around me, who do you want to revolve around?"
"Back then, when you were young and full of energy and ignorant, I made you swear that you would marry Chao Jingyou and cut off your descendants. Now just think it's nonsense. It doesn't matter who you marry, and it doesn't matter who you have children with... In fact, from the moment we broke off the engagement, I I should stop interfering in your affairs..."
Qi Jiulu's face was pale, and he stared at her blankly. He felt that his heart was getting colder, and he murmured: "Back then, I heard that your family sent you to the north, injured your uncle, and robbed your clan brother's horse to chase you. , Braving the heavy snow, I finally caught up with the carriage at Peacock Slope, and wanted to take you away... But you... At that time, I thought, there is probably no one more cruel than you in the world!"
There seemed to be a glimmer of water in his eyes gradually, but Yun Fenghuang's face seemed to be carved by ice and snow, without any fluctuation. Qi Jiulu finally smiled sadly and said, "Three years later, you are still as cruel as expected."
Yun Fenghuang said calmly: "Go away and don't come to see me again. We should have stopped having anything to do with each other a long time ago!"
"There shouldn't be anything to do with it?!" Qi Jiulu stared at her for a moment, then suddenly pushed her into his arms!
He was so strong that he almost wanted to embed the person completely into his body. Yun Fenghuang was in pain, and he frowned and wanted to push, but he seemed to be pushed against a thick wall, making it difficult to break away. Qi Jiulu ignored him and lowered his head to kiss her hard. Seize her lips!
The two were childhood sweethearts who had often been together since childhood. As they grew older, their feelings for each other grew quietly, and they had some intimate behaviors in private. It's just that after all, when you come out of the big family, you still have to be affectionate and polite, and you don't dare to go too far. In the past, when they were most gluey, it was just a touch of a dragonfly.
At this moment, Qi Jiulu felt a mixture of love and hate in his heart, but he was attacking the city and sucking it for a long time before letting go of Yun Fenghuang with a cold face.
After this entanglement, Yun Fenghuang had already loosened his hair and hairpins. He grabbed his arm and took a deep breath for a moment before standing still. Then he became furious and raised his hand to hit him!
"Back then, you were the one who pestered me and clung to me all day long. Even if I accidentally glanced at someone else, you would get angry. Now you just want to break it off. How could such a cheap thing be possible?" Qi Jiulu remained unmoved, his brows furrowing. There was a hint of evil in the room, and he laughed and said, "If you want to hit me, you can hit me, or remember to bring a sharper knife next time and stab me to death. Otherwise, if I don't die for a day, it will be the end for both of us!!!"
Yun Fenghuang suddenly stopped her hand, her chest heaved violently, as if she was extremely angry. After a moment, she suddenly took out a silver dagger from her sleeve. Said: "What kind of thing are you! You are worthy of letting me kill you with my own hands... Don't get my hands dirty! If you want to die, you must die!"
Immediately he flicked his sleeves and left angrily!
"..." Qi Jiulu stood there without moving, watching her figure disappear quickly under the night. For a moment, Fang slowly raised his eyes to look at the few stars in the sky. The long night was about to pass. If he didn't leave, would it be dawn
He suddenly laughed to himself.
