Chapter 137: Difficult to Settle

Qi Zhen is a very arrogant person, it's not that he has a bad temperament, he is talented, and naturally he will inevitably be taller by relying on his talents.

However, Qi Zhen has one benefit, he still attaches great importance to the truly talented.

He saw that Qi Jing was very good today, whether it was poetry, lyrics and songs, or strategies and scriptures, and the most important thing was that he was also very good at painting, although he was not as good as him, but he was much stronger than ordinary painters, so he had a heart of love.

What's more, the painting that improved his painting skills was made by Mrs. Qi Jing, and Qi Zhenai Wu and Qi Jing under the house were more pleasant.

"I have limited talent in painting, where do I dare to compare with a horse." Qi Jing smiled: "Not to mention that I want to surpass you, I dare not quit if I love you, but I can't be cheeky to get this praise." ”

Qi Zhen was also very useful for Qi Jing's modesty and praise, and he smiled and ignored the matter of painting, but talked to Qi Jing about this scientific expedition.

After talking for a while, Qi Zhen promised Qi Jing to help him recommend, and said that there were several literary meetings a few years ago, all of which were run by people who were known as scholars in Chang'an City.

After hearing this, Qi Jing got up and thanked him, and sat down for a while to say goodbye, Qi Zhen was chatting happily, and he was a little reluctant, so he wanted to keep Qi Jing, and he heard the maid come over and say that Princess Chang'an invited the horse over, Qi Zhen could only watch Qi Jing say goodbye and leave, and then turn to the back house to see Princess Changle.

Qi Zhen went to Princess Changle's room, and as soon as he entered the door, he felt a hot smell mixed with medicine. He couldn't help frowning, took off his coat and handed it to the maid, opened the curtain and went into the back room.

Before I lifted the curtain, I heard a burst of crying, and heard the voice of Princess Changle: "You are bold, crying like this in front of the palace, this is clearly cursing the palace." ”

There was another woman's voice, which sounded soft and pitiful: "Princess, slave doesn't mean that, slave is not intentional, slave ...... Ask the princess for forgiveness. ”

"What's going on?" Qi Zhen was confused when he heard it. I couldn't help but ask.

He hurried into the inner room. I saw Princess Changle half-lying on the bed, because she had been sick for many days, her body was thin and her face was pale, and she had an indescribable morbid beauty.

Princess Changle stretched out her slender jade fingers and pressed her forehead, her brows furrowed. It looks extremely uncomfortable.

And Princess Changle knelt under the bed a slender woman in green. The woman saw Qi Zhen. Jumped over and hugged his leg and cried: "Help, help, the princess wants to kill the slave." Ask the horse to save the slave. ”

"What the hell is going on?" Qi Zhen looked at the woman who was crying with his leg and recognized it, this is a geisha he has been very fond of recently, this kabuki has a good appearance, an extremely sweet voice, and some talents, the most important thing is that her temperament is extremely soft and gentle, Qi Zhen likes her suppleness, and prefers her admiration, so he takes care of her a lot these days.

Bending over, Qi Zhen pulled the singer up, and said while helping her wipe her tears: "Chun Niang, what's wrong?" Don't cry yet, talk to yourself. ”

The singer's face was flushed with shame, and he lowered his head to wipe his tears, but he secretly gave Princess Changle a provocative look, and the angry Princess Changle coughed again.

Princess Changle coughed for a long time, and Chun Niang took this opportunity to say softly to Qi Zhen: "The slave heard that the princess was sick, so she wanted to visit the princess, but it was a discord, the princess, the princess was angry, and wanted to beat the slave to death, the slave cried and begged the princess to spare her life, and the princess said that the slave was crying and wanted to kill the slave immediately." ”

A line said, Chun Niang and his party leaned on Qi Zhen: "If you hadn't come over, I'm afraid the slave would have died by now, the slave knew that he was wrong, and asked the princess to forgive the sins, the slave must be obedient in the future, and the princess will do whatever the slave asks him to do, and he will never dare to complain." ”

Chun Niang's words seem to be admitting her mistake and apologizing and begging for mercy, showing that the whole person is extremely soft and pitiful, but secretly she is relying on it, especially the last sentence, repeatedly telling Princess Qi Zhen Changle to tell Chun Niang to do an extremely difficult thing, Chun Niang is not happy, Princess Changle is going to kill her.

Qi Zhen was furious when he heard this: "Princess, you are the lady of the sky, Jin Zun and Yugui, but you can't take people's lives so hastily, if Chun Niang is wrong, she will be punished one or two, and if you don't do a little thing, you have to kill someone." ”

This is obviously to protect Chun Niang.

Chun Niang raised her lips and showed a cheerful smile, just so that Princess Changle saw it, Princess Changle was even more angry, coughed a few times and stretched out her hand to point at Chun Niang: "Do you have to think I'm wrong based on her words?" Okay, okay, in that case, you can quickly take her out of me, save me, save me...... Angry, angry to death. ”

Princess Changle was talking angrily, but Qi Zhen was more sensitive, and when he heard this, he was also angry, and he snorted coldly, and took Chun Niang Zhen out of Princess Changle's house.

As soon as he left, Princess Changle fell on the bed angrily, and several maids next to her hurriedly helped her, and some maids helped to ask for a doctor.

Princess Changle waved her hand: "Let's go, let's go, what's the fun of living, it's better to be dead." ”

"The princess must not think so." Several maids hurriedly persuaded each other: "What is your identity, what is her identity, you can be angry for a cheap maid, no matter how proud she is, she is just a sparrow, no matter how she is, she can't fly to the branches......"

Where is Princess Changle willing to listen, she coughed again and again, clutching her chest and panting: "The horse is confused, confused, ......"

As she spoke, tears fell from the corners of Princess Changle's eyes.

She is full of resentment, blame the horse, blame the spring girl, and blame the current Emperor Chengping.

If it weren't for Emperor Chengping, where would she marry such a romantic and affectionate person who is respectful and inferior, and is angry with her colt everywhere, Emperor Chengping thinks that he likes her the most among many children, so he wants to find her the best colt, Emperor Chengping in his heart, all those who are good and talented are good, he likes calligraphy and painting, so he found a person who called calligraphy and painting a must to be her Changle concubine.

However, how did Emperor Chengping know that Changle didn't like calligraphy and painting, she was just good-looking, but she was not too smart, at most she was a little smarter than ordinary people, in the end she was still an ordinary person, how could she be in harmony with the talented and amazing concubine Qinse.

In addition, Princess Changle is an extremely pragmatic person, and the concubine she needs is a person who can live a down-to-earth life, not a merry man like Qi Zhen.

The marriage of Emperor Chengping has been doomed to be a tragedy since the beginning.

Princess Changle and Qi Zhencai were able to respect each other when they got married, but unfortunately the good times didn't last long, and the two of them had a lot of complaints, and in the end, they had no love between husband and wife, and there were more grievances.

Princess Changle covered her chest and coughed for a while, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, only to feel a fishy sweetness in her throat, and when she took away the handkerchief, she saw a blood-red patch on the snow-colored handkerchief.

Several of the maids were frightened and at a loss.

Princess Changle swept away coldly: "Throw away the veil, don't mention this matter, whoever wants to mention it, this palace will not be spared." ”

She is known for her majesty, and when she speaks, the naturally frightened maid does not dare to speak.

Princess Changle sneered a few times, and sighed a few times: "I shouldn't complain, how can I complain, I am a good princess of the royal family, at least I eat well and dress well, and I still have my life, compared to Princess Pingyang, I should be content." ”

It's not like that, Princess Pingyang and Qin Beiliang are now ending up with no corpses, compared with her, any princess should be content.

However, Princess Changle is still unwilling, and when it comes to it, it is still difficult to calm down.

Zhenting Mansion Xiao family

Master Xiao took the letter brought by Xiao Zhi into the main mansion, Mrs. Xiao's house.

As soon as he entered the door, Mr. Xiao gave the letter to Mrs. Xiao: "Zhi'er wrote that he had decided on a family affair in Chang'an, and told us to prepare something for him to marry." ”

Mrs. Xiao was teaching her little daughter with a needle and thread, and when she heard this, she sneered: "Doesn't he have the ability, doesn't he look down on the person I show him?" Then he asked me to prepare something for him, he made his own decisions and got married, and what kind of letter did he bring, phew, he didn't want to ask for benefits from his family. ”

Master Xiao's face sank like water when he heard this, and he immediately shouted: "Enough, he is my son in the end, call you a mother." ”

"I don't dare to be." Mrs. Xiao was angry when she mentioned Xiao Zhilai: "He is a dignified man, how can I be worthy of his mother, my son is stupid, and he is not as good as him." ”

Master Xiao became more and more angry, but when he thought that his sister-in-law was pressed by his concubine and couldn't raise his head, he also felt a little pitiful, and said patiently: "No matter what you say, we won't suffer if Zhi'er is out of business, no matter how big he is in the future and his reputation will be revealed, he will not still be our son, and he will have to provide for our old age." ”

Mrs. Xiao knew that she couldn't help Master Xiao in this matter, although she was angry, she still took the letter and looked at it, and asked Master Xiao: "This letter only says that you have seen each other, what kind of person is it, and why didn't you write about the daughter-in-law's character?" ”

Master Xiao smiled when he heard her ask: "It's a good family, Zhi'er went to someone to ask for a kiss before, but the girl didn't know why she didn't agree, this time I met again in Chang'an, the girl looked at Zhi'er in all aspects, and it should be, that family is also our Zhenting Mansion, the girl's brother is the first name of this year's township test Qi Jieyuan, that is a famous talent in Zhenting Mansion, there is a great talent, the girl's sister said that the grandson of the Xie family of the protector of the country, you think about it, don't say Qi Jieyuan's name, It's worth it to be in-laws with the Xie family. ”

"Ahh Mrs. Xiao was so elated when she heard what Master Xiao said, thinking that her son is just a talent now, this year's township test name fell to Sun Shan, and Xiao Zhi was admitted three years earlier, this time, Xiao Zhi's family is much more than his own daughter-in-law, so he is even more angry, he didn't notice it for a while, the needle pricked his finger, and the blood beads rolled down: "This daughter-in-law is not good, I bled after the master finished speaking, this is obvious...... No, I don't agree. ”

As soon as Master Xiao heard this, his original joy disappeared, and he was replaced by a look of anger on his face: "What do you say, don't agree?" Why don't you agree to such a good family affair? Do you still want Zhi'er to marry the daughter of the merchant you fancy who is not four or six, you, you, are simply hateful. (To be continued.) )
