Chapter 102: The Black-bellied Rui Wangye
Jiao Niang's heart trembled slightly, and many memories of her previous life rushed up, as if he had said the same thing to her in the previous life, but at that time he also added a sentence at the end of this sentence - if you can't give it to you, don't think about it.
In this life, he didn't say the last words, but Jiao Niang added a sentence to herself in her heart as a warning.
The corners of her mouth unconsciously had a light smile, and her hand stroked the smooth brocade on the collar, "Then what if I let His Highness pamper Jiao Niang for the rest of his life?"
Ying Che grabbed Jiao Niang's hand, and the hot breath sprayed into her ears, hot and itchy, "Then it depends on your ability." ”
Jiao Niang's smart eyes flashed slyly, hugged Ying Che, and kissed him lightly on the cheek, "So what?"
Ying Che was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and when she slowly stopped, she pinched her chin, and her lips slowly approached.
"Your Highness!" An untimely voice broke the ambiguous atmosphere, and if Wu Yan knew that he had delayed the opportunity for the prince to kiss Fang Ze, he would not come in if he was killed.
Jiao Niang hurriedly pushed Ying Che away, and turned her face away, "Someone." Then he broke free from his arms and sat down on his side.
Ying Che took a deep breath, his face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his voice was as cold as ice, "Come in." ”
When Wuya heard this voice, he secretly said that it was not good, but at this time, he could only bite the bullet. He strode around the screen, holding a four-inch square wooden box with red lacquer depicting gold dragons and phoenixes in auspicious patterns.
Ying Che glanced at it lightly, her eyebrows unfurled, "What is this?"
Wuya looked at his face cautiously, "Your Highness, this is sent by the people of He Zhi Pinto to honor His Highness." He opened the box, and inside were five small boxes of coloured lockets, and one by one, each containing a gem the size of a pigeon's egg, in five colors: red, yellow, blue, green, and purple, with a crystal clear texture and brilliant luster.
Jiao Niang couldn't help but take a few more looks, and she saw a lot of gems, but it was rare to see them as big and with such a good color. Especially that purple gem, I'm afraid there is no one in the palace.
Ying Che was commonplace, only glanced at it lightly, and said in a disdainful tone, "Before he was about to hug Buddha's feet, he only surrendered to this king at this time, didn't he think it was too late?"
Wuya did not shy away from Jiao Niang, and said bluntly: "He Zhiping is the prince's person, and he has been supported by the prince over the years, and he has been rampant and domineering in Qizhou, accumulating wealth everywhere. It is reported that half of Qizhou's taxes over the years went into his pocket, and the remaining half was given to the crown prince, and in the end, only a small part of the taxes were handed over to the state treasury. At present, he saw that His Highness found out about him, so he gave gifts to His Highness again and again. "Your Highness, do you accept this gift?"
"Naturally, take it. Ying Che said it as a matter of course, he picked up the box and put it in front of Jiao Niang, "Do you like it?"
There is no woman who doesn't love jewelry, Jiao Niang nodded.
Ying Che smiled, "Then I'll give it to you." ”
Jiao Niang was shocked in her heart, and hurriedly excused herself, "How can Jiao Niang want such a valuable thing?" Her clear eyes went straight into his eyes, calm and clear, "And it's not good for His Highness to accept it, isn't this tantamount to accepting bribes and giving people a handle? ”
Ying Che's laughter was like a jade bead, and his palm stroked her face, "Okay, now I know that I am thinking about this king." However, this king teaches you a saying, don't be in vain. Moreover, it was not delivered to the king by his own hands, and the king never confiscated anything from him. ”
Jiao Niang choked suddenly, and then laughed silently, she was really black.
After eating, Ying Che personally sent Jiao Niang to the door of Hua Niang, but did not go in, but just told Jiao Niang that he would come to see her before leaving.
The lady smiled as she watched his carriage depart until it was gone, and the smile on her face disappeared with it.
"Girl, His Royal Highness King Rui is gone, let's go in too. Qing Huan said softly.
Jiao Niang faintly "um", turned around and walked towards the door, her steps were very slow, there was a decadent tiredness on her body, she didn't know how long it would take for such a forced smile to pass, maybe it would be a lifetime.
After entering the door, Jiao Niang did not go back to her first, but turned around and went to the old lady. When she came back, the old lady must have asked, so she simply went to reply directly, saving herself another trip in vain.
There is also on the way back, passing by the dim sum shop, Yingche stopped the car and bought her several boxes of dim sum, which were still hot when they were just baked, and Jiao Niang was worried about giving them to Brother An.
Jiao Niang entered Fushouju all the way from the door, and as soon as she entered the second gate and bypassed the shadow wall, she heard intermittent whimpering and crying coming from the house.
"The old lady is meeting a guest?" asked the lady.
Bai Zhi said: "It's the fourth lady from Beifu who is here, the girl will go to the ear room and wait for a while." ”
Although the You family came over on the old lady's birthday, the knot between the two families was not solved at all, and they still did not get along with each other, how could they suddenly come today?
Jiao Niang looked angrily into the house, "What's the matter?"
Bai Zhi said in her ear: "It is said that Miss Zhu Niang is pregnant, and she was poured with fetal medicine by Mrs. Zhengfang, and Miss Zhu Niang is weak, and she doesn't want to drink a bowl, and her blood will not stop." Bai Zhi sighed again and again, "Now there is only one breath left, I'm afraid it won't be able to drag on for three or five days." ”
Jiao Niang's hairs stood on end when she listened, and the bead girl was even smaller than Qiao Niang, she thought for a while and asked, "What did the Guo family say?"
"What is there to say, Guo Yuanwai's early career relied on his wife's maiden family, how dare he say anything. No, the fourth lady came to our Dongfu and begged the old lady to make her the decision. "The disgusting thing that Sifang did a few years ago, even the house slaves with Dongfu couldn't look down on it, Bai Zhi was talking, and her mouth was about to go to the sky.
Jiao Niang didn't comment on this, and followed Bai Zhi from the root of the window to the ear room, and heard the old lady's voice coming from the window paper through a layer of window paper, "Isn't your family always close to Nanfu? Why did you come to our Dongfu instead?" ”
Then there was a crying voice, "Don't mention it when you are old, I went to Nanfu, but people shirked me and said that there was something at home, and it was inconvenient to meet guests, so I was sent away without entering the gate." Now I can see that this Nanfu is not thinking about family affection at all, not talking about conscience, when it is good, it is long and short, and when it is bad, it is faster than a rabbit. ”
After a moment of silence, the old lady said, "Then what are you doing with me?" ”
You Shi's crying gradually stopped, "Didn't King Rui live in your mansion for a while, no matter how you say it, you have affection. I thought about asking you to ask him to come forward and suppress that Guo family. The doctor said that Zhu Niang's life cannot be saved, but it can't be lost, and there is nothing else, so no matter what, you have to let the Guo family fill in Zhu Niang's life with money. ”
For the rest, Jiao Niang no longer listened.
