Chapter 325: The Qi Palace
Yuan Qingling looked back and saw that no one had come in, so he said, "Then you tell me about them back then." β
"What is there to say about them? Green Sprouts, this fool. Yu Wenhao reached out and wiped her cheeks, she lightly applied fat powder today, but obviously the green buds didn't care, and the fat powder didn't fade.
"I put on my own makeup." Yuan Qingling looked at herself and felt that she was very shabby today, but a woman with a big belly was nothing to look at, "You say, I want to hear it." β
Yu Wenhao sat cross-legged on the Luohan bed, picked up the walnuts on the small table and pinched them, picked the walnut meat for Yuan Qingling, and said: "The third sister-in-law originally said that the third sister-in-law had said that she was a person, but when the third brother saw her, she was fascinated, and she had to pester Concubine Jing to beg her father, saying that she wanted to marry Miss Cui as his wife, and the Cui family was also a prestigious family in Beijing, and the future husband of the third sister-in-law was from the Anjun Palace, how could she make a matter of regretting marriage, the matter was deadlocked for a long time, and the third brother went to the third sister-in-law's fiancΓ© to challenge, saying that only if he won could he marry the third sister-in-law, for the sake of the competition, The third brother trained day and night, and I also accompanied the third brother to compete at that time, and I have never seen him so serious in my life. In the end, he won, but this was just a private agreement between him and the prince of Anjun, and the two families did not agree with this result, so the third brother was busy in vain. β
Yuan Qingling asked, "Then what?" β
Yu Wenhao smiled, "Then the third brother actually went on a hunger strike, he really didn't eat anything for five days, only drank water, but his father didn't relent, what do you think, what did he do in the end?" β
"How?" Yuan Qingling asked in a daze.
Yu Wenhao said: "He actually went directly to Cui's Mansion and took his third sister-in-law to elope." β
Yuan Qing Ling smacked his tongue and eloped?
"The three ships actually agreed to elope?" In this era, it is not easy for women to take this step, especially women from families.
"I don't know." Yuwen Hao shrugged, "Anyway, after being chased back by my father, I beat him thirty boards, locked him in the prison for the first three months, and after he came out, he married his third sister-in-law as he wished." β
"Does the Anjun family agree?"
Yu Wenhao said: "Can you disagree?" The third sister-in-law eloped with the third brother for half a month before chasing them back, and they didn't want to marry, although the father was angry, he couldn't let Miss Cui lose her reputation and ignore it in vain, so he asked them to get married. β
"How long have they been married?" Yuan Qingling asked.
"It's been four or five years."
Yuan Qingling smiled bitterly, "Four or five years? Such an unforgettable love, but it will be unrecognizable in just four or five years, it is really unimaginable. β
Yu Wenhao fed walnut meat to her mouth, stared at her and said firmly: "We won't be like them." β
Yuan Qingling looked at him and was about to speak, when he saw Ah Si running in quickly, his face was pale with shock, "Lord, princess, come out and have a look." β
Yu Wenhao asked, "What's wrong?" β
"You go up to the attic, quick, see if the Qi Wangfu is out of the water?" Ah Sidao.
When Yu Wenhao heard this, his face changed slightly, and he strode out.
As soon as he came out, he smelled that there seemed to be some fire in the air, and he didn't climb the stairs, but flew up directly, standing at the top of the attic and looking at the Qi Palace.
The Mansion of King Qi and the Mansion of King Sun are not far apart, a few streets apart, so standing on the attic, you can overlook the Mansion of King Qi.
Sure enough, a layer of black smoke rolled up in the direction of the Qi Palace, and open flames could be seen.
Ah Si also flew up and said in shock: "I've been staring around here, but I didn't expect to find a fire in the direction of the Qi Palace, and I haven't told my sister yet." β
Yu Wenhao's face turned pale, and he hurriedly called Xu Yi: "Quickly call someone to go to the Qi Palace's mansion to help put out the fire, and then order someone to notify the yamen and call the army patrol shop to rush over." β
He jumped down, just as Yuan Qingling also came out, and asked anxiously, "How is it?" β
"It's out of the water, the fire is very big, and the smoke is rolling up, don't walk around, stay in King Sun's mansion," he turned back to Ah Si, "Ah Si, you must guard the princess, you can't let her be alone." β
Ah Sidao: "I know, lord, I will always guard the princess." β
Yu Wenhao rushed out and went directly to find King Sun.
King Sun heard that the palace of the king of Qi was running water, and the fire was very big, and he didn't care about the birthday banquet, so he beat gongs and drums to gather people, and all the men present followed him to extinguish the fire.
Yuan Yongyi heard that the Qi Wangfu was going to the water, and before King Sun finished speaking, he had already rushed out of the door.
The palace of King Qi caught fire, and King Sun's mansion became a mess first.
Princes, horses, officials, and men all came with what they could use.
There were a bunch of ladies left, very worried, especially, several princesses couldn't sit still and wanted to go over to have a look.
Princess Sun had to appease everyone first and tell everyone to go in and sit down for a while.
She entered the inner hall and was slightly surprised to see that Chu Mingcui had not left and was still here.
Chu Mingcui stood next to the hollow three-legged beast incense burner, and said lightly: "I don't have to go back and hinder them." β
Princess Sun thought, she is a person who wants to leave, and it is normal if she doesn't go back, is it possible that she still expects her to care about the seventh child?
She told everyone to sit down in the inner hall and ordered tea and snacks to be served.
After the king of Wei passed, the old girl also stayed in the palace, but she did not come in to sit, but stood outside.
Chu Mingcui walked to Yuan Qingling's side and sat down slowly, looking at Yuan Qingling with a sideways face, revealing a strange expression, "Are you afraid?" β
Yuan Qingling felt that she was inexplicable, "What are you afraid of?" β
"Fire!" Chu Mingcui laughed, "Aren't you afraid of fire?" As soon as the fire burned, everything was extinguished. β
Yuan Qingling stared at her and slowly frowned, this fire, shouldn't she have ordered someone to put it?
When Yu Wenling heard this, she glared at her angrily, "What are you scaring my fifth sister-in-law for?" Shut up. β
Chu Mingcui laughed, "Fifth sister-in-law, I should have been your fifth sister-in-law." β
Princess Wen Jing was furious, "Chu Mingcui, you are cautious, although you are not a royal wife immediately, but the Chu family discipline is very strict, and you can't tolerate such nonsense." β
Chu Mingcui shrugged, "Okay, whatever the princess says, you are all princesses on top." β
Princess Sun felt that something was wrong, she glanced at Yuan Qingling worriedly, and said, "Princess Chu, you come and sit here with me." β
Who knows if the woman will pull out the hairpin and stab Princess Chu when she goes crazy?
Yuan Qingling stood up, and Ah Si immediately followed to block the distance between her and Chu Mingcui, lest Chu Mingcui suddenly make a move.
Chu Mingcui laughed, "It's really funny to see you so jealous of me, are you still afraid of me when there are so many of you?" β
Princess Sun said lightly: "Princess Qi is too careful, I just have something to ask Princess Chu." β
She stepped forward, pulled Yuan Qingling over with one hand, and sat down beside her.
Chu Mingcui changed her past, and her hippie smile rose, "Yes, be on guard, if you don't do it, I will set a fire and burn all of you." β
As she spoke, she stood up, supported her waist with both hands, and sighed: "What a good wind, when this wind blows, maybe there will really be sparks blowing, and when the time comes, this Sun Wangfu will burn like the Qi Wangfu, then it will be beautiful." β
A weird laugh came out of her throat and she walked out slowly, as if she had changed.
