Chapter 179: It's Been a Few Years (2)
Changjue raised his hand, held the teacup in his hand, but didn't drink it, rubbed the pattern on it for a while, and then said: "Concubine Shu, you know, Lan Yi and I have been together for a few years?" ”
Qin Fang folded her fingers and calculated, "It's been five years?" ”
Chang Jue smiled, "Twenty-seven years of Xingjia, and now thirty-two years of Xingjia, you are right." How old were you then? ”
"Ten years old." Speaking of this, Qin Fang was quite excited, "At that time, I followed A-Niang and saw His Royal Highness riding on a high-headed horse to Pei's Mansion to greet my relatives, but I never thought that the majestic man who rode on the horse would become my husband." ”
"Majestic...... Chang Jue shook her head with a smile, she really didn't understand anything, she was really gentle, but she was too stupid, His Royal Highness King Gong at that time, the hat of "Plague God" had not been taken off, who could connect the words "majestic" with him?
After laughing, he looked at Qin Fang and said very seriously: "When I married Lan Yi, you were only ten years old, and when you came to me, Lan Yi and I have been walking hand in hand for five years, Concubine Shu, this time, you will never be able to pass." ”
Qin Fang was stunned, and the lively aura around her slowly calmed down, "Your Highness? You're here today...... Is it right to have something important to say to me? ”
Changjue "um", "Do you want to listen?" It may be very unfair to you, but I haven't said it, it's just that I have a husband and wife with you, and it's even more unfair to a woman like you. ”
Qin Fang lowered her head, her brows were twisted into one place, and her hands were even more twisted together, looking very entangled, but when she raised her head, her tone was particularly affirmative, "Then Your Highness, you can say it." ”
Changjue put the teacup on the table, "Okay." Concubine Shu, you may have met me when you were ten years old, but I only saw you for the first time after you got married, to be honest, I don't have the slightest affection for you, I think you have a strict family education, and you have never experienced the so-called spring heart sprout before, so between you and me, there is no emotion but you want to have children, it is really unnecessary. ”
Qin Fang opened her mouth and stopped talking, but Chang Jue seemed to see through her heart, and said bluntly: "I know, if you want to say that marriage is originally a blind marriage and a dumb marriage, it is all about having children without affection, in fact, before I met Lan Yi, I also thought so." ”
"It's bad that's bad, I met Lan Yi, and I don't blame her, I just blame me, so many years of affection have accumulated layer by layer, I know that there are so many people between heaven and earth, only she understands me best, so I really have no interest in other people. And the timing of your entry into the house makes me feel awkward. Chang Jue sighed, "Now Prince Gong's Mansion already has an heir; I am always busy with the affairs of the court, and I have to consume my energy; You're still an underage girl to me...... For all the reasons, I really don't want to have sex with you so early. ”
This is already too straightforward, and it is impossible for Qin Fang not to be a little disappointed in her heart when she is rejected by her husband so loudly, but after thinking about it carefully, she still said softly: "I understand, in fact, His Royal Highness wants to tell me that in this palace, no one can compare to the princess, and you, at least at this moment, don't want to do that thing with me." But Your Highness, those people outside, and my father and aunt, after a long time, they will ask. ”
Chang Jue only said coldly, "What happened in your house, you know, I know, the princess knows, it's enough." ”
Qin Fang was stunned, and after thinking for a while, she understood the meaning of this sentence.
Chang Jue felt that he was a little cruel, but for him, his sweetheart had only lost a child, and this side concubine was deliberately sent by the emperor to slap her in the face, if he accepted other women so early, it would be tantamount to a betrayal of Rong Huan and Lan Yi.
Seeing that Qin Fang hadn't spoken, he said again: "I wronged you." As a prince, it is indeed natural to have children, and I shouldn't have ......"
"Your Highness, don't say it." Qin Fang suddenly interrupted him, "Your Highness, I want to tell you that if you have a choice, I don't want to come to Prince Gong's Mansion." Your Royal Highness, not every woman wants to be rich and noble, and they all want to be a side concubine for the prince. I am a person who has read books, and I know that wives are righteous, and concubines can only stand aside. I used to want to be the one in the family, the one who was upright. ”
Chang Jue looked at her and felt a little sorry in her heart, why did such a good girl become his side concubine with a verbal message?
Jing Fang was still saying: "So if you continue to talk about it, it will seem that everything is what I begged for." I just want to tell you, it's not like this, I don't ask for it, I don't make trouble, I just want to live well, if I can have a son and a half daughter to pass the leisure time, it would be good, but if not, I will also think about being good to the princess, listen to the princess, and let the princess slowly accept me. Your Royal Highness, you don't have to worry about my affairs, instead of you pampering me on the one hand, and making me a thorn in the hearts of you and the princess, it is better to let it be, maybe one day, you feel that I am your pillow person, and you don't need to talk about the round house or not. ”
The words are more imposing than the paragraph Chang Jue just now, but in the end, she is a little girl, and she finally musters up the courage to say what is in her heart, which will make her already ashamed and want to get into the cracks in the ground.
In fact, even Changjue himself didn't expect that Shu Jingfang would be such a person, obviously the rumors of the world this time are not wrong, the daughter of the Shu family is gentle and kind, and she is really a beautiful girl.
Chang Jue finally let go of his heart, and his tone became more and more gentle, "Don't be shy, even if you haven't become a pillow person for the time being, we are still a family, and the family will talk like this, and say whatever you want in your heart." Tonight, I'll rest with you, and tomorrow there will be news that your parents won't be anxious, and those people won't have any more excuses to laugh at you. ”
This night, sure enough, the two of them each hugged a quilt and slept steadily, Qin Fang said what she said from the bottom of her heart, which was a big sigh of relief, and she didn't have any desire to compete for favor, and she didn't see much love for Changjue, there were no mixed thoughts, and she almost fell asleep with her eyes closed.
However, Chang Jue's time to fall asleep is always longer than others, and when he heard Shu Jingfang's steady breathing, he still had hidden worries in his heart that he couldn't let go of - can it be like this for a while, can it be like this for a lifetime? People's resentment never grows into a towering tree in a moment.
Of course, in the early morning of the second day, there was news that His Royal Highness King Gong had finally had a round room with Concubine Shu, although Lan Yi didn't know the inside story, but he still had breakfast very calmly, and accepted Concubine Shu's invitation to see him very calmly.
After ordering scenes such as "serving the husband and extending the heirs" as usual, Lan Yi asked Ning Fu to close the door and said very kindly: "Do you need any ointment?" I'm afraid that there is something uncomfortable on your body, don't feel shy and hide it, they are all women of His Royal Highness, and taking care of yourself is the most important thing. ”
Who knew that Qin Fang was a person who was too sincere, she immediately said: "Princess, in fact, last night, His Royal Highness didn't even touch one of my fingers. ”
Lan Yi was stunned, after listening to Qin Fang's story, she knew what Chang Jue was doing yesterday, she was warm and sad, obviously thinking of Chang Jue together: Qin Fang can endure a moment of grievances, but she may not be able to endure it for a lifetime, besides, such a good girl is always hundreds of times better than those babbling demons in King Yu's mansion, Chang Jue's identity, it is impossible to be accompanied by only one wife, sooner or later she still has to cherish her.
However, in front of the concubine, Lan Yi didn't need to be full of words, let alone say that he wanted to persuade Changjue to go to her, but said: "Good Qinfang, you must be blessed with a character like you." ”
Then she asked Ning Fu to turn over some good things from the warehouse, and let the little maid next to Shu Jingfang carry it back. When the master and servant came, they didn't show anything on their faces, but when they went back, they were full of spring breeze, anyway, that Bai'er didn't know anything, and they only thought that the young lady and His Royal Highness had already rounded up.
It is said that this kind of thing is left to others, but anyone who has a little desire to compete for fame and fortune will feel that he has lived too hard, but Shu Jingfang is really different, and I don't know if my mother taught her too well, or if she didn't open her mind, the princess was good to her, it was better than His Royal Highness was to her, and it could make her happy.
Ning Fu said: "I thought that a side concubine would be a bad person who would compete with you for favor, but I didn't expect to be so stupid, even more stupid than a slave." ”
"It's not stupid." Lan Yi thought for a while and said, "There are not so many bad people in this world, there are not so many good people, and there are not so many fools, in fact, they are just living people, there are advantages and disadvantages, it is very complicated. Concubine Shu...... At the moment, it can only be said that he has found his own position and can live a more relaxed life. ”
Let's say that Lan Yi's body is really as the Wen Po said, and he slowly recovered, so he began to take care of the affairs of the house, Concubine Chen moved to a more spacious and bright place, and occasionally interacted with Concubine Shu, and he really had some confidence, and he couldn't help but be very grateful to Lan Yi.
Five days later, Prince Gong's Mansion held a banquet, of course, the pomp was not big, but from the layout to the food, it should be exquisite, Wanyin is pregnant, it may be inconvenient to move, and her waist is also easy to sore, so she prepared soft cushions early and put them on the chair she was sitting on, and also prepared a pair of toys such as feather shuttlecocks and kites for Miaoyun's children, which obviously took a lot of thought.
Wan Yin came early in the morning with Yi Bin, but Miao Yun was late, holding the child's hand, and looking unhappy.
Lan Yi asked, "What's the matter?" In Prince Gong's Mansion, is there anything that doesn't suit your heart? ”
Miao Yun saluted, asked the children to follow suit, and only after getting up did she say: "Where, eldest sister's house, everything is fine, I am not happy for the fool in my family." ”
Lan Yi hurriedly asked, "What's wrong", Miaoyun crackled and said: "It's not that I said that I would come over together today, but because my father-in-law was sick and couldn't be thrown away in the private school, he had to go over to help, so he couldn't come." ”
