Chapter 30: Celebrating the Birthday in Place of the Princess
"Hehe, Lord Wang, do you still know that I am now in the name of Princess Qi? So, Leng Qinglang, as a side concubine, but she made something out of nothing and sowed discord, can I follow the rules and punish the big one?
Since you have asked me to fulfill my obligations, then please also show your respect, husband and wife are one, and you listen to other people's slander and insult me, and you are also insulting yourself,"
"Sharp teeth! The woman with the long tongue! β
Murong Qi's well-proportioned and slender fingers slowly tightened, clenched tightly into fists, the back of his hand had green tendons bulging, and his cheeks tightened, with a surging and terrifying aura of slaughter.
Leng Qinghuan did not retreat, but stubbornly raised his face and glared at him with provocation.
"A gentleman doesn't use his words, I just uphold the ancient precepts."
Actually, I also like to be simple and rude, but heroes don't suffer immediate losses, I can't beat you, otherwise I would have beaten you so badly in the mouth, and I would have beaten you a long time ago.
"Leng Qinghuan, don't think that if this king doesn't do anything to women, you can do whatever you want."
Leng Qinghuan seemed to have heard the funniest words, and actually laughed "poof": "Since the first day I entered the palace, I have not suffered less from your slap, and I will not die in a catastrophe, do I still want to be grateful to the prince for your grace of not killing?" β
She didn't know what to do, which made Murong Qi's face turn green.
"From tomorrow onwards, the king will send guards to protect you every step of the way. Without the permission of this king, except for the Qiwang Mansion and the Guogong Mansion, you are not allowed to go anywhere! And before leaving, please ask yourself to have a little face. β
Is this to find someone to spy on you and restrict your personal freedom?
Leng Qinghuan nodded happily: "Okay, remember to arrange two handsome little brothers, otherwise I will give a bad review." β
Murong Qi's thin lips pursed, he held back his anger, and brushed his sleeves away angrily.
Leng Qinghuan thinks that he, the prince, is too idle, and he has been waiting for himself for so long, just to scold himself for a while, don't you say it's boring?
I was scared in a cold sweat on the side, and my face was sad: "Miss, can't you be soft with the prince?" Why bother? β
Leng Qinghuan sneered lightly: "What am I doing to please him?" I don't know what kind of nonsense Leng Qinglang is talking in front of him, he just explodes at one point like a cannonball. Brutal, mediocre, lustful, and soft-eared, he has the potential to be a tyrant of business. β
Doudou was frightened: "Why do you dare to say anything, you scared me to death." β
"You are cowardly, the next time we quarrel, stay away, don't be here like a wooden stake."
Doudou really wants to say, the other two people quarrel with their mouths, you and the prince are hands-on, you almost use the knife, violence and blood, who rarely sees it.
Murong Qi walked out of the main courtyard in a huff and met Leng Qinglang in the backyard water pavilion.
Dressed in dusty white clothes and a shawl with long hair, she sat sideways on a wooden chair, stretched out her slender white fingers, and fed the fish food in her hand into the koi pond.
The koi fish crowded into the water beneath her feet, contrasting with each other.
Murong Qi thought indignantly, this is what she calls a woman, pleasing to the eye, tender like water, simple and gentle. Leng Qinghuan stinks and is hard, like a stone in a dung pit.
Leng Qinglang heard his footsteps, turned around and smiled, then pulled the hem of his skirt, walked towards him happily, threw himself into his arms, and stretched out his fingertips to caress his frowning brow.
"Did my sister make the prince angry again?"
Murong Qi said coldly: "Don't mention her." β
Leng Qinglang lowered his head: "It's all to blame Zhiqiu's girl for being so talkative, I have already reprimanded her." The prince doesn't have to take it to heart, the concubine believes that between her sister and Shen Shizi, there should be innocence. β
Murong Qi was irritable, and only said "um": "Are you waiting for me?" β
Leng Qinglang took out a few invitations from his sleeve: "Just now, the steward of the mansion came to you, saying that it was the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Earl's Mansion tomorrow, and the wedding of the eldest prince of the Lin Mansion in five days, and there are several invitations from the other mansions, please show the prince." β
Some trivial things, Murong Qi never bothered.
"The congratulatory gifts are all prepared and sent to the house in accordance with the previous rules, and the stewards have their own proportions, just weigh it yourself, and you don't have to report it to me."
Leng Qinglang's eyes flashed: "What about the old lady's birthday banquet in this earl's mansion?" Guogong Mansion specially came to remind him today, saying that if the prince and his sister have time, they will enjoy their faces and eat a glass of wine and go through the motions. β
The old lady in the Earl's Mansion is the sister of Murong Qi's maternal grandmother, and according to her seniority, that is, Murong Qi's aunt, can be regarded as a relative.
Murong Qi, who had just fought with Leng Qinghuan, snorted lightly: "What is she going to do when she goes out?" Is it embarrassing? But this kind of entertainment can just be taken back, saying that she is ill and inconvenient for the time being. I'm also not available. β
"If the prince is busy with official business, the concubine can go in person and send a birthday ceremony to express the prince's importance to the earl's palace."
There are many occasions that are not suitable for Leng Qinglang's identity to show up. Although the difference between the main concubine and the side concubine is only one word, there is a world of difference. It is an honor for Leng Qinghuan to come, and when she goes, the main family may not appreciate it.
"If you want to go out and walk around, you can ask acquaintances to enjoy flowers and eat tea, this kind of birthday banquet is the most boring."
Leng Qinglang took all the invitations into his arms: "The prince is busy with official business, and Qinglang is willing to share your worries about these trivial matters in the future." Among them, the sense of proportion and rules are still understood. β
Murong Qi has always been absent-minded, and he only gave a shallow "um" to her eager self-recommendation, said a perfunctory word, and left her and went directly to the study.
When Leng Qinghuan went out again the next day, the donkey cart was gone, replaced by a horse-drawn carriage that looked quite pleasing to the eye.
There were two guards standing in front of the car, tall and strong, with a grimace mask on their faces, and they didn't say a word when they saw Leng Qinghuan, and they stayed away, not knowing what Murong Qi had explained to them.
Leng Qinghuan just wants to say that he is naΓ―ve, how can Murong Qi be like a child, he always likes to do such childish things. I'm pregnant now, are you so?
Speaking of pregnancy, Leng Qinghuan has been hesitating for the past two days: to stay, or not to stay.
Leaving this child, sooner or later, the East Window incident will happen, and it is absolutely impossible for the royal family to leave this unknown child, and he will be a corpse and two lives.
In order to save your life, it is wisest to have an abortion as soon as possible.
But he has just come back from the ghost gate, and now he is weak, and he has internal and external troubles, and he is staring at him coldly, and his brother is also in crisis, and it is really not a good time to have a miscarriage.
The body is the capital of the revolution, and this sentence is the truth.
Just thinking about it, someone behind him sneered coldly: "The prince actually sent two guards to protect my sister closely, is this worried about your safety, or is it not worried about your whereabouts?" β
There is no need to look back, just listen to this yin and yang strange voice, Leng Qinghuan also knows that it is Leng Qinglang.
"A woman who took the initiative to jump into the water, stripped naked and seduced someone else's fiancΓ©, the prince is relieved, what am I worried about." Leng Qinghuan asked coldly.
"This is called ability, if you can't get angry, you can also jump into the water and see if the prince can save you?"
Leng Qinghuan turned his face and glanced at her up and down: "My sister is indeed capable, she took the initiative to give her arms so many times, but she didn't sell herself." It seems that the prince is not very satisfied with you either. β
The words just hit Leng Qinglang's sore spot, she gritted her teeth, changed to a swaggering posture again, and walked down the steps leisurely, the skirt embroidered with gold silk entwined branches and peonies dragged on the ground.
"Even if the prince is not satisfied, it is better than getting angry and disgusted at the mention of you. It's like today's birthday banquet for the old lady in the Earl's Palace, the prince dislikes you for being embarrassed, and asks his sister to take his place and go to congratulate the old lady on her birthday instead of her sister. β
Leng Qinghuan looked at her again, no wonder she was dressed so carefully today, it turned out that she was going to show up.
Murong Qi's arrangement had been expected for a long time, and there was nothing strange about it. He put on a green hat for him, and on the day of his wedding, he would let himself show up and bring up the old things.
Therefore, she didn't have any sense of loss about Leng Qinglang's show-off: "It's just right, you go to your Earl's Palace, and I'll go to my Guogong Mansion, and go their own way." β
It is said that the speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Leng Qinghuan just didn't want to have a senseless verbal dispute with her on this crowded street, and planned to turn off the fire and leave. But these words changed their flavor in Leng Qinglang's ears.
After all, the Earl's Mansion was always two levels lower than the Guogong Mansion, and she thought that Leng Qinghuan was showing off in the red fruit land.
