Chapter 344: Beauty Scheming
The night was dark, but the heat in the air did not decrease much, and the guards in King Ji's mansion were far away at this time. The voices of men and women in the distance, although they are a little far away, can still be heard if you listen carefully.
Zheng Yan stood in the night with a thin anger on her face, and her heart was full of grief. This Lang Jun seemed to be dedicated in the past, but now he seems to be a prodigal son who is happy when he sees color.
However, the patriarch's wife of Tuyuhun is also a lowly embryo, and she came to seduce Lang Jun, I really don't know how Lang Jun can fall in love with that woman.
Qinglan looked at her lady Tieqing's face, she was anxious and didn't know how to comfort Zheng Yan's wounded heart. But as a sister who grew up with Zheng Yan since childhood, she has the responsibility to comfort Zheng Yan.
"Lady, you also understand that men in this world are the same, even men from ordinary people's families, and if they have some spare money at home, they will also think about buying a concubine. And our Ah Lang is a rare strange man in the world, and it is normal for these women to be attracted to Ah Lang. The lady is still more relieved, don't be angry. ”
"I'm angry because Liulang is looking for a concubine, not because that woman is not an ordinary woman, she is the wife of the patriarch of the Tuyuhun people, if this matter spreads, then how can the alliance between our Weizhou and Tuyuhun people be maintained?"
When Qinglan heard this, she immediately understood that she would be wrong, the lady deserved to be a lady from the Zheng family, and the problem was not ordinary, what she said was naturally the focus of the problem.
But it is not easy to spread this matter, after all, Weizhou here, and this is still the Jiwang Mansion. As long as it is well controlled, there will be no mistakes.
After Zheng Yan glanced at Li Bao's study, she stomped hatefully, then turned around and walked towards the lobby.
Qinglan chased after her and said carefully: "Ah Lang is so nonsense, the lady must not let him go." ”
"It's easy to say that you can't let it go, what can I do, do you want me to tell Rokuro directly that you can't associate with that patriarch's wife, or do you want to ask Rokuro to refrain for the time being? Qinglan, it's too simple for you to think like this, this matter can't be said by me, do you know that although I am a princess, if I dissuade Rokuro on this matter, it will only make Rokuro dissatisfied with me, won't we gain more than we lose at that time? ”
"What is the lady going to do, you can't let Ah Lang do that." Qinglan said with a depressed face.
Zheng Yan stopped her steps, and Qinglan behind didn't notice it, and suddenly touched Zheng Yan's body. Zheng Yan didn't care about Qinglan's collision, she said to Qinglan who looked apologetic: "Come here with your ears." ”
Qinglan immediately came to Zheng Yan's side, and when Zheng Yan finished whispering, she was curious: "What's the use of calling Cui Niang over at this time?" However, seeing Zheng Yan's stern eyes, she had no choice but to suffocate the next words into her stomach.
……
The west courtyard of King Ji's mansion is the residence of the king's favorite widow Ling Niangzi, Cui Niang's face was sweating, and she hurriedly came to the west cross courtyard, regardless of the greetings of the servants everywhere, her abnormal behavior caused many servants to be very curious, what is the urgent matter of Cui Niang at this time?
Ling'er was breastfeeding her son Li Sheng, and Cui Niang broke in in a hurry. She was startled, and after finding out that it was Cui Niang who came in, she immediately reassured herself and said to Cui Niang: "What's wrong with Cui Niang's anxious appearance, what happened?" ”
Cui Niang looked at Li Sheng in Ling'er's arms, the little prince was not frightened by her intrusion, she wiped the sweat on her head with her hand, and then sat next to Ling'er, picked up a bowl of mung bean soup that was cold on the side and drank it all regardless of the dignity of the upper and lower levels.
When Ling'er saw this scene, she couldn't help but blame Cui Niang, but giggled. "Cui Niang, you have no rules, you drink all the mung bean soup of the slave family, it's really against you."
Cui Niang finished drinking the mung bean soup, wiped the soup stains on her mouth, and then said to several servants in the house: "You all go down, the concubine has something to tell the lady." ”
When Ling'er saw Cui Niang so solemn, she couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart, "What's wrong?" Hurry up and stop selling off. ”
Cui Niang waited until the servants had gone out, and she immediately attached herself to Ling'er's ear and whispered a narrative.
When Cui Niang finished speaking, Ling'er was immediately speechless in shock, this matter was too important. After a while, she reacted, looked at Cui Niang and said, "Is this true?" You really didn't coax the slaves? ”
"Such a big thing, even if you give the concubine a hundred guts, you don't dare to talk nonsense."
Ling'er's heart was in turmoil, how could this Langjun be so nonsense, how could he get involved with the patriarch's wife, but why did the princess only call Cui Niang to go?
Thinking of this, Ling'er was full of doubts. So she said to Cui Niang: "Cui Niang's slave family will ask you again, is it really the princess's maid Qinglan who called you there?" ”
"It's true, the concubine body is still wondering, this matter is the ugliness of our palace, Qinglan lady knows, the princess can't know, but why did she only call the concubine over, and the concubine doesn't know what's going on."
As the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized, and the princess did not deal with this matter in time, but called Cui Niang away. Is it because Cui Niang and the slave family have the closest relationship? ”
Thinking of this, Ling'er suddenly blessed her heart, and she immediately understood Zheng Yan's intentions, this princess is not simple.
Cui Niang was still anxious, but Ling'er was already confident. She said to Cui Niang: "Okay, you must keep your mouth shut about this matter and can't pass it on anymore; In addition, if you go and spread the word to the guards on duty in our palace tonight, it will be said that the slave family said, 'You can't see what you shouldn't see, you can't listen to what you shouldn't hear, if there are any rumors that are unfavorable to the palace from the outside world, be careful of their heads'." ”
Cui Niang got the order, and her heart was awe-inspiring, it has always been rare for Ling Niangzi to speak so fiercely. But at this time, she didn't care about anything else, and immediately nodded in agreement.
Then Ling'er continued to instruct: "You go to the lobby to wait, and as soon as the dinner is over, you will go to the king's place to spread the word, and let the king come to the slave house tonight." ”
Cui Niang got the order and immediately nodded and walked out of the West Courtyard, walking away through the night.
Ling'er looked at Li Sheng in her arms, at this time this kid was still sucking/sucking hard, she looked at her son lovingly, and murmured: "Good son grow up quickly, but don't learn from you in the future, you see that he is so attentive and let his mother worry about him." ”
Xiao Li Sheng didn't know whether he understood or not, he still sucked/sucked milk vigorously as always, unaware that his baby teeth would sting his mother from time to time.
…………
The dinner was over, and the guests from all sides said goodbye. Li Bao was very comfortable, tonight's friendship with Ouyang Qingshuang was very comfortable, and he hadn't experienced it for a long time, which made his spirits very uplifted.
When he was parting, Ouyang Qingshuang had a strong sense of regret in his eyes, but this was only a temporary parting, and there would always be a time when they would stay together in the future.
After bidding farewell to Ouyang Qingshuang, Li Bao found that Zheng Yan had left early. He muttered in his heart, Zheng Yan has been a little bit wrong recently, and she is a little sullen about everything.
But before Li Bao could figure out a clue, Cui Niang came to pass the word. Li Bao heard Ling'er invite him to go to the West Cross Courtyard, he thought that he had been a little busy recently, and he hadn't been there for a long time, so he happily went.
The summer evening breeze caressed, and the wine on Li Bao's body gradually emanated under the breeze, and he was a little smoky. If it weren't for Hu Sanbao supporting him, he would have been a little shaky.
By the time she arrived at the West Cross Courtyard, Ling'er had already put Li Xinyue and Li Sheng to sleep, and she was waiting for Li Bao's arrival.
As Li Bao's most affectionate favorite concubine, her taste is also second only to the princess, and the other sisters are only named concubines, and even Yunfang's sister, who has given birth to the county lord for Lang Jun, has not been named a widow, which shows her status in Lang Jun's heart.
Of course, the princess's role in it is also very important, after all, she is the mother of a house, Lang Jun is kind and willing to delegate power, tonight's matter, the princess asked Qinglan to call Cui Niang, just to tell herself through Cui Niang.
This kind of thing, as the main wife, the princess persuaded Lang Jun is understandable, but it will definitely affect the relationship between their husband and wife, and after letting herself know through Cui Niang, let herself persuade Lang Jun so that she will avoid embarrassment, and in addition, she grew up with Lang Jun since she was a child, even if Lang Jun doesn't like it, she won't blame herself.
Ling'er figured this out, she didn't blame Zheng Yan for using herself, Ling'er was also happy to do it, Biji and they were all a family, and they were all for Langjun's good.
After the servants reported that Li Bao had arrived, Ling'er immediately sent all the servants in the room out. She greeted the door of the room and nodded to Hu Sanbao, and then helped Li Bao to sit down in the house.
After Li Bao sat down, he pulled Ling'er into his arms, kissed Ling'er's delicate face, and then smiled: "My good Ling'er, I haven't come to you for a few days, I miss me!" ”
Ling'er saw that Li Bao's mouth was full of wine, and she knew that it was not appropriate to persuade Lang Jun at this time, so she broke free of Li Bao's hand, and then brought the warm water that had already been prepared, and handed it to Li Bao, "Lang Jun will drink some honey to hydrolyze the bar first." ”
Li Bao took the warm water and drank it in one gulp, and the sweet juice went straight into his intestines, making his throat and esophagus burnt by heavy drinking much more comfortable.
Ling'er took the teacup, then went to bring the copper basin, then carefully wiped Li Bao's body, and finally brought Li Bao a large basin of foot washing water.
Even though it's summer, it's still nice to soak your feet in the warm water. Ling'er helped Li Bao massage the soles of her feet while washing her feet, and she just wanted to call Li Bao comfortably.
As the alcohol in Li Bao's eyes slowly dissipated, he immediately found that Ling'er was still serving him hard, and he immediately stopped Ling'er and pulled her over and let her sit in his arms again.
"Didn't you say that these servants' work should be left to the servants? You're already my wife, don't do it anymore, you know? ”
"The slave family has always served Lang Jun, and they have been used to it over the years, although the slave family has been a widow, but the slave family has always remembered in their hearts that they are just a little maid by Lang Jun's side, which is nothing."
Li Bao listened to Ling'er's words, his heart warmed, he hugged Ling'er tightly and kissed her on the lips. "Ling'er, you're so nice, okay, I don't even know how to love you."
Ling'er listened to Li Bao's words and felt sweet, but she had something to say today, so she didn't hesitate anymore, and when Lang Jun was in a good mood, she finished what she wanted to say at once, and she was uncomfortable in her heart.
"Lang Jun has something, the slave family doesn't know whether to talk about it or not."
"What's the matter, we still have something to say, let's talk about it."
"The slave family said it, Lang Jun is not allowed to be angry."
"Well, I promise you, I won't be angry, just say it."
When Ling'er saw Li Bao who was close at hand, she groaned for a while, and then said, "Does Lang Jun have something important to discuss with the patriarch's wife of Tuyuhun tonight?" ”
Li Bao's heart tightened when he heard this, how could Ling'er know about this matter so quickly. But sooner or later, they would know about it, but they didn't expect it to be so soon.
It was Li Bao who groaned for a while, and then said astringently: "Well, I had a secret conversation with Ouyang Niangzi in the study." ”
"However, I'm afraid that the 'secret talk' between Lang Jun and the patriarch's wife is not quite right, because someone heard an abnormal voice......."
When Ling'er said this, her pretty face was already red, and Li Bao couldn't help but be a little hung up on her old face, alas, she blamed Ouyang Qingshuang for being too good. He had stopped her several times, but he was still arrested by his wife and concubine.
"Ahem, ahem, this ......" Li Bao didn't know how to say it.
"The slave family said that this matter is not to accuse Lang Jun of messing with flowers, but that this Mrs. Ouyang is the leader of Tuyuhun's side, if this matter leaks out, I am afraid that the alliance between our Weizhou and Tuyuhun will only collapse immediately, and there will be one more strong enemy in the sky."
Li Bao was ashamed when he heard this, he didn't think too much about it at that time, Ling'er is his wife and concubine persuaded him to think about himself, and he didn't know how to explain it to Ling'er.
Ling'er saw Li Bao's face full of shame, she knew that Lang Jun had listened to her persuasion, so she continued: "Lang Jun rest assured, the guards and servants on duty tonight have already been warned by the slave family. But Tuyuhun still needs Lang Jun to pay more attention. ”
Li Bao nodded, and then praised Ling'er: "My good Ling'er is the most thoughtful." I know, I'll take care of this. Alright, it's time for us to rest. ”
When Ling'er heard this, she immediately refused, "The slave family is in confinement, and if you can't serve Lang Jun, Lang Jun should go to the princess." ”
Li Bao knew that Ling'er was during her confinement, but he felt that Ling'er was very virtuous tonight, so he wanted to accompany her for one night. So he smiled and said, "I'm here tonight to inspect our son's canteen, I don't know how big it has grown after a long time ...... I haven't massaged."
