Chapter Eighty-Five: Cold Shoulder
For Huang Qiong's explanation, what else can King Yong say. pointed at him, and could only continue to shake his head speechlessly: "You kid too, it stands to reason that you should be a prince now." Although it is only a county king now, it is only a matter of time before it is done. It's a trivial matter, why should you be so serious? Wait a little bit and I'll see how you get back. ”
Regarding King Yong's words of concern, Huang Qiong turned his head and looked at Li Hai behind him, there were still two guards who were still some distance away from him, and it was difficult to hear himself clearly. Only then did he point to a few people behind him with his chin, and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "That being said, it's better to be careful now, after all, I'm not as good as a few brothers and younger brothers." ”
"Now in the palace and in the court, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at me, waiting to find my fault. The slightest mistake will give people a tongue. It's not a serious thing, it may not matter to others, but it's a big deal if you don't get it with me. ”
Seeing the few people behind Huang Qiong, and also knowing the current situation in his mansion, King Yong's face was a little gloomy and sighed slightly: "It's better to be careful, don't find any truth for others at this very time." Now the old man is fighting like black-eyed chickens one by one. When the old man is gone, this will not be a big mess in the world? ”
Speaking of which, King Yong was somewhat melancholy. But after all, he is still an open-minded person, and King Yong's dissatisfaction will be for a while. Although this guy said that he was dressed as a scholar and walked over like this, he was already here anyway. The scholar pretends to be a scholar, what else can he do if he is willing to pretend to be himself?
I was worried that this guy who studied in his house all day long, didn't even go out of the door when he was free, and made it clear that he was avoiding trouble, would not give himself face this time. In fact, King Yong and Huang Qiong's inner thoughts at this time coincided a little, and they both thought that others were pretending. It's just that one thinks Huang Qiong is pretending, and the other thinks everyone else is pretending.
It wasn't until Huang Qiong followed King Yong into King Yong's Mansion that he found that what surprised him even more was still to come. Because the six brothers who were invited were all dressed in red princely clothes. Although they did not wear a foot banner on their heads, they all wore the prince's regular clothes and black wingless black gauze hats.
The prince's clothing of the Great Qi Dynasty is divided into ceremonial dress, court dress, and regular dress, and there is strict customization in use. Dresses are not allowed to be worn outside of the canonization ceremony, ancestor worship, marrying a concubine and other major ceremonies. Although these princes did not need to go to court, they were also issued court clothes in case the emperor summoned them. As for some small things on weekdays, there are big red and five dragons.
One by one, these princes not only wore a full set of princely clothes, but were followed by a large group of eunuchs and servants, and their nostrils were even more uplifting. When King Yong introduced Huang Qiong, their brother, to them, except for King Shen, who was ranked eighth, nodded to Huang Qiong, and came over to drag Huang Qiong and said a few words.
The rest of the princes didn't even bother to raise their eyelids. Especially the King of Song, he turned his body around and put on a posture of not wanting to be with his ninth brother. Seeing that this group of guys was so faceless, King Yong, who was very embarrassed, opened his mouth and wanted to scold. But before he could come out, he was dragged by Huang Qiong.
turned his head and saw Huang Qiong facing him, shaking his head slightly. King Yong also said a little dejectedly: "This group of bastards, are they still fucking alone?" When I saw my own brother, I didn't even say hello, what the fuck was it. I really don't know who taught it. A bunch of guys with dogs looking down on people. ”
"Forget it, don't deal with these bastards in the future. After a while, the king of Shu arrived, and he came back from Shu this time, but he brought me a lot of good wine in Shu. You kid can drink, and his alcohol consumption is not bad, so let's not get drunk today. Don't be in a hurry to leave today, and send those bastards away in a while, leaving the three of us to get together. ”
Speaking of this, King Yong squeezed his eyes at Huang Qiong, and said with ulterior motives: "Tonight, I will arrange a special program for you, and I will ensure that you will open your eyes when the time comes." Let's talk about it first, you are not allowed to pretend to me when the time comes. If you give it to me, I'll turn my face. ”
Looking at the strange smile on this guy's face, Huang Qiong immediately knew that this guy's so-called show was definitely not a good show. It's just that if he had to leave now, this guy would definitely have turned his face on the spot. Forget it, if you come here, you will be safe. No matter what the hell this guy does, just control yourself.
Just when the two of them were arguing here, the steward eunuch of Yongwang's Mansion trotted in all the way, and when he saw Yongwang, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "The King of Shu is about to go outside the mansion, do you want to go out to greet him?" ”
"Greeting a fart, doesn't he have long legs himself? Tell him that love doesn't come in or not, and I'm not going to pick him up anyway. "It is precisely because the brothers did not give themselves face that they were not generally cold to Huang Qiong. wanted to have a seizure, but was stopped by Huang Qiong, and King Yong, who was sulking with himself here, heard that the King of Shu was about to arrive, and some were angry and pouted back directly.
Regarding King Yong's obvious words, Huang Qiong smiled, gave him an indifferent look and said, "Let's go, King Shu is our brother in the end, it's not too much for us to go out to greet him." Besides, you are still the host today, how can you be the host, and the guests will not go out to greet them? ”
Huang Qiong's words, because he heard that the King of Shu had arrived, he was just about to go out to greet him, but because King Yong was inexplicably angry, the kings who stopped couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They all walked out quickly, but the host of King Yong was still behind.
Seeing the scene in front of him, King Yong, who had just been ridiculed by these brothers, was really angry: "What the fuck are a bunch of things, they learned so snobbery one by one at a young age." It's all fucking brothers, and if you have to separate a three, six, nine, etc., it's really a bunch of bastards. Those born in the middle palace are superior, don't they want to be a vassal like us? . ”
Speaking of this, King Yong pointed to King Song, who was walking in the front, with his chin and said, "That King Song's mother is the most favored concubine who has come to the palace this year. In recent years, the middle palace has not been in good health, and the affairs in the palace have always been taken care of by the concubine. That concubine doesn't look at the word "de" on the title, in fact, it is not a thing at all, and the son who taught her is also a bastard. ”
Hearing the rather angry swear words in King Yong's mouth, although he was also very dissatisfied with the previous actions of these people in his heart, Huang Qiong could only pretend to be serious and said: "Seventh brother, this is a bit too much." They're all brothers, they're bastards, so what have we become? ”
"According to what you say, hasn't the father also become that? If this is heard by someone with a heart, and when the time comes, won't you be unlucky again? Be careful, you will lose your words. Besides, people are also more precious than their mothers, and there is nothing to find fault with. ”
As soon as Huang Qiong said this, King Yong reacted. Although he and those guys are not a mother, they are also a father anyway. scolded them bastards by himself, didn't he even scold himself as well? Thinking of this, King Yong could only smile bitterly: "You're right, I scolded them, and I scolded myself, and I was really dizzy by them." ”
"Let's go, let's go out to pick up our fifth brother, don't let these snobs steal the limelight. Our fifth brother will know when you see him in a while, and he is still a good person. is better than his own brother, I don't know how strong it is. But this guy is good, it's just a little crooked. If we go out late, we'll have to complain again. ”
Regarding King Yong's explanation, Huang Qiong just smiled and didn't say anything, and followed King Yong out of King Yong's mansion. Just when they arrived outside the door, the King of Shu also arrived at almost the same time. It's just that this King of Shu came to Yongwang's Mansion this time, and he also didn't take a sedan chair, but rode a white horse.
When I saw this freshly dressed angry horse, he looked extremely chic, and his own handsome appearance was dressed in white civilian clothes and the white horse under him, and the king of Shu with a jade-like face was even more lined up. Even Huang Qiong had to praise in her heart: "What a handsome and chic beautiful man." ”
It's just that seeing the white horse ridden by the king of Shu, Huang Qiong suddenly remembered the joke in his previous life, the one riding the white horse may not be the prince, maybe it may be Tang Seng. Thinking of this joke, the corners of Huang Qiong's mouth couldn't help twitching a few times unnaturally. But a joke is a joke after all, and people are not only really princes, but also sons-in-law.
Since leaving the mansion, he has been standing beside Huang Qiong, not like other brothers, and when he saw the arrival of the King of Shu, he stepped forward, and he was very hypocritical and asked for warmth. Seeing that the corners of Huang Qiong's mouth twitched slightly, he thought that the scene in front of him had touched some of Huang Qiong's hearts, so he patted his hand without a trace to show comfort.
Sensing King Yong's actions, Huang Qiong immediately reacted, because he remembered the joke, he couldn't laugh out loud, and his unnatural expression must have made King Yong misunderstand. However, although Huang Qiong knew that King Yong had some misunderstanding, he didn't open his mouth to explain. Because in his opinion, there is nothing to explain it.
I can't blame King Yong for thinking wrong, ordinary people still have the heart to compare, not to mention the children of their heavenly family. In King Yong's opinion, Huang Qiong was already a little aggrieved in the title. Those who are younger than Huang Qiong are now crowned princes, but he is only a county king, and if he is replaced, he will have to kill himself.
What's more, Huang Qiong's background is also a son-in-law, and among these princes in her heart, she is the most noble, so isn't her heart even more cowardly. In addition to the coldness he suffered just now, it would be strange that King Yong didn't want to deviate. If it had been King Yong himself, he would have gone long ago.
However, Huang Qiong himself did not explain, and King Yong couldn't ask more questions on this occasion. King Yong, who thought that Huang Qiong had suffered a lot of grievances, made up his mind to send these bastards away, and then make up for his ninth brother. Make up for the grievances suffered today because of my ninth brother. Thinking of this, the corners of King Yong's mouth showed a strange smile.
It's just that this guy who is bent on compensating Huang Qiong doesn't know where to put his mind at this time. His smile was the same as the faint smile that appeared at the corner of Huang Qiong's mouth, although the corners of his mouth were drawn in the same arc. But Huang Qiong's faint smile looks like an inexplicable sense of mystery. And his smile seems not ordinary obscene to outsiders.
