6. Pampering
**005 is a couple for a lifetime
"Xiangguofu is a stumbling block to King Qin's ascension to the throne, so the person you hate shouldn't be me!" As his tone intensified, the force in his hand increased, and the bone of her jaw was almost cut under the skin.
"If you hate me and shoot you with an arrow in front of everyone" Heavy breath sprayed on her lips, intertwined with her snort, the jade wrench fingers were next to her snowy skin, and the power of his hands turned into thousands of fingers in an instant, and the coolness of the white jade, like a blood-devouring Gu worm, invaded her internal organs. There was a sudden silence in the air, and there was no follow-up to this sentence when he threw it out. The eyes that stared at her flashed like a blazing light, as bright as the eyes of a tiger and wolf in the night. "King Qin is violent, and he is lustful," he Huo Ran rubbed her head his chest, Zheng Yuan screamed in horror, her heart beat violently, and the force holding down her head became heavier and heavier, as if she wanted to rub her head into his chest: "So, why should I let other men touch your body!" ”
The door was opened with a bang, and the person who came was Chunxi, who had gone out to fetch hot water, and when he came back, he heard Zheng Yuan's voice outside the door, and ran in in a panic and shouted "Lady!" When he found out that Qu Boyao was also there, his legs weakened in fright, and he knelt on the ground to plead guilty.
Qu Boyao let go of his hand, turned around and strode away.
Chunxi hurriedly got up from the ground and asked, "Is the lady okay?" ”
Zheng Yuan was still in a daze and did not come back to her senses, looking at Chunxi in a daze and not speaking. Seeing that there seemed to be tears in her eyes, recalling the scene she had just bumped into by chance, Chunxi cautiously asked: "The slave maid just saw that Xiangye's eyes were red, as if she was angry, did the lady just disobey Xiangye, so she made him angry, Xiangye is really, knowing that the lady is seriously injured"
Zheng Yuan didn't answer, Chunxi was stunned, fetched water to wipe Zheng Yuan's face, and asked: "Did the lady know Xiang Ye a long time ago?" ”
"Why do you ask?"
"Xiangye is not a woman, but he is the only one who is so slave to the lady and has never seen it"
"Didn't he have a wife?"
Chunxi said: "Mrs. Lu's place has always been deserted, I have never seen Xiangye go, but Mrs. Wei occasionally goes to sit there." ”
"Oh" Zheng Yuan asked casually, "You are serving Mrs. Wei, does he have a good relationship with your Mrs. Wei?" ”
Chunxi thought for a while and said, "Mrs. Wei has always served Xiangye wholeheartedly, and everything related to Xiangye must be personally investigated. Xiangye, in front of the people, he and Mrs. Wei are in and out of pairs, and they are in love like a couple. People respect each other like guests, and if you are a guest, you are divided, isn't it? Speaking of this, Chunxi looked back at Zheng Yuan again, saw her eyebrows frowning slightly, and asked with a smile: "Is the lady worried that she will share the favor with her wife in the future, the lady doesn't have to worry, the slave maid thinks that Mrs. Wei and the Xiangye are inseparable, otherwise they will not be delayed." ”
"Hmph-" Zheng Yuan snorted coldly and blurted out, "How long can I survive?" Even if he can live for a hundred years, he will not be a concubine! ”
He was saving her from being punished as a military prostitute or being humiliated by the new emperor in the harem, and she just pretended not to know.
The sound of falling snow in the courtyard was heard.
In the winter of that year, it snowed heavily and froze three feet, and many people braved the wind and snow to come to the Xiangguo Mansion to seek jobs, and those people stood outside the mansion in a long line, stomping their feet and hands, anxiously waiting for their father to summon them. But his father picked him alone and asked, "Why do you only wear a thin brown coat on such a cold day?" ”
"Because my family is poor." When he answered, his voice was loud, and he humbly lowered his forehead slightly, and the crowned kudzu cloth hung on one side, and the dirty snow water slipped down the arc of his face, splashing drop by drop on the jade brick-paved ground. At the voice of his father, he slowly raised his head, revealing a resolute silhouette, his gaze passed through the crystal curtain, and fell firmly on her face as she watched, and his eyes were calm, and there was no inferiority complex.
No matter what his father tested him, he answered it fluently.
When his father asked him how old he was, he replied, "I've already reached the crown." The father laughed and saw through him and said, "You are cheating." He hurriedly changed his story and said that he was only seventeen years old, and that the deception was a last resort, because the list posted outside the Xiangguo Mansion clearly stated that only those who were crowned were eligible to enter the government and seek employment, thus finding an excusable excuse for his deception.
Afterwards, her father hugged her on his knees and asked, "Sister, you have been peeking behind the curtain for a long time, what do you think of that person?" ”
She said: "His clothes are so dirty and torn, but he is a wise and courageous man, and he is not afraid of the cold and his clothes are thin brown to make a splash. ”
Her father stroked her head and praised her for her intelligence. "You are still young and young, but you can know people like this, how about your father let him teach you to solve your doubts?"
So, his father didn't reuse him, and only left him in the house to be a teacher, and only taught her one.
Nine years have passed, and now at the age of twenty or sixteen, he should have married a wife a long time ago.
Midnight. Wei Yun walked through the porch, and found that there were still lights and shadows behind the Yu bamboo that was bent by the snow, so he approached with a lantern, and walked in when he saw the door open. Wei Yun couldn't help but be surprised: "It's so late, why didn't Xiangye sleep?" ”
Qu Boyao glanced up at her, and continued to wipe the dagger in his hand: "Didn't you sleep too?" ”
Wei Yun sighed, put down the lantern, sat down next to the sandalwood pestle, dialed the lamp on the case and said, "The slave family just went to visit Zheng Niangzi, and after standing outside her window for a long time, I found that Zheng Niangzi was not asleep." ”
"Her family is ruined, her sisters are separated, how can she sleep." Qu Boyao continued to make familiar movements.
"Yes, Mrs. Zheng is also pitiful." Wei Yun frowned at him again and said: "How will Xiang Ye settle Zheng Niangzi in the future, she is now the daughter of a criminal minister, it is not easy for Xiang Ye to leave her in the mansion without knowing if he can keep it secret, if Xiang Ye wants to stay with her in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to give her a name." ”
Qu Boyao put down the dagger in his hand: "I have my own opinions." ”
Wei Yun said again: "Today, when Zheng Niangzi knew that the slave family and Menghua were Xiangye's 'wife and concubine', she seemed to be even more unhappy, and the slave family thought that Zheng Niangzi had Xiangye in her heart." Xiangye will go and make it clear with her tomorrow, so as not to misunderstand Mrs. Zheng. ”
Qu Boyao smiled slightly, looked at her and said: "Wei Yun, let you and Menghuakong not marry under the identity of my wife and concubine, you have mistaken your youth, I have really wronged you, and when the time is ripe, I will find a good family for you." ”
When Wei Yun heard this, he hurriedly squatted down and beat his knees for him and said: "The slave family has known Xiangye for five years, and has served by Xiangye's side for three years, and I am used to it, and I can't repay Xiangye's kindness in taking me in three years ago, and the slave family is willing to serve Xiangye forever by Xiangye's side." ”
Qu Boyao wanted to speak and stopped.
Wei Yun knew his concerns, gradually paused the movements in his hand, suddenly knelt on the ground, looked up at him and said: "The slave family doesn't want to rely on Xiangye's side to ask for a name, Xiangye let the slave family and Menghua bear the identity of Xiangye's wife and concubine, just to hide people's eyes and ears, so that people outside think that Wei Yun is Xiangye's bad wife, Your Majesty Xià is not good to give Xiangye another marriage, and those nobles are not good to stuff their daughters over." Xiangye didn't want to marry her, it was for Mrs. Zheng. The slave family knew that Mrs. Zheng was the wife that Xiang Ye recognized in his heart. Even if Xiang Ye never said his life experience, the slave family can faintly guess that Xiang Ye has an extraordinary background, and the slave family knows that his background is not worthy of Xiang Ye, so he doesn't dare to ask for anything, he just hopes to stay by Xiang Ye's side for a long time, and he is already satisfied to be a maid, but he begs Xiang Ye not to drive the slave family away. ”
"You get up first." Qu Boyao stretched out his hand to pull her, "I don't want to drive you away, it's just that if I marry a wife in my life, I will only marry Zheng Yuan alone, I hope you can understand, go back and tell Menghua too, if she has someone she likes, you can tell me first." ”
Wei Yun nodded. In the eyes of outsiders, she and Menghua are his wives and concubines, but when outsiders envy them, they don't know that the name of this wife and concubine is just a disguise, there is no worship of heaven and earth, no wine, no ceremony, he said at that time: "I need you and Menghua to pretend to be my wife and concubine to hide people's eyes." She happily agreed, hoping that one day she might be able to enter his heart.
Later, I learned that what I was looking forward to was just a dream of Nanke.
Wei Yun said that he had known him for five years, but Qu Boyao thought of Zheng Yuan, he and Zheng Yuan had known each other for nine years, and had been together for six years, when he was seventeen years old, he saw the six-year-old Xiao Zheng Yuan for the first time through the crystal curtain, she had a delicate little face, she looked at him with big bright eyes, her eyes let him see her early wisdom, he knew at that time that this peeping little girl must be Zheng Jue's little sister Xiao Yuan, once in the army, Zheng Jue mentioned to him that when Zheng Jue left home from Rong, she just could walk and talk, so many years, Zheng Jue has never seen his own sister again. After thinking about it, Qu Boyao continued to wipe the dagger.
Wei Yunqi said: "It's so late, why does Xiangye keep wiping the dagger?" ”
"His Majesty summoned me to enter the palace tomorrow to discuss matters with me alone."
"Your Majesty has first ascended to the throne, the situation is not stable, the throne is not yet hot, and it is still inseparable from the right arm, according to the slave family, it should be an ordinary summons, why is Xiangye so vigilant? Could it be that he was afraid that His Majesty would suspect and discover something? ”
Qu Boyao replied: "His Majesty doesn't believe Li Conghe's words at all, he still suspects that Zheng Yuan is not dead, but now that the body has been burned, there is no conclusive evidence." Tomorrow, His Majesty will just want to test me from the dialogue, and if he thinks that I am a bully, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
Wei Yun was taken aback, and couldn't help but tighten her skirt: "However, the palace is strictly forbidden, how can Xiangye bring sharp weapons without being discovered?" ”
Qu Boyao's eyes froze. Wei Yun hurriedly lowered his head: "The slave family knows the mistake. "Xindao: I really don't think about it, there must be someone in the palace forbidden.
"Don't ask, don't ask. The more you know, the worse it is for you. ”
"Yes." Recalling his fierce eyes, Wei Yun's heart was still beating like a drum.
Qu Boyao took out a jade pendant from his sleeve, handed it to her palm, and advised: "Tomorrow afternoon, when the ten thousand households are cooking, if I can't come back, you will dismiss the people in the house, and then take her away, don't let Yafu find out, take this, go to the eldest princess, and the eldest princess will take you in." ”
Wei Yun took it with trembling hands, tears already flowing out of her eyes.
