Chapter 680: Isn't it a disappointment
"Husband!"
After smelling that the unpleasant and pungent smell was the smell of wine, Zheng Huarui was very surprised.
In the past few days since she got married, she has never seen her husband drink alcohol, even the night in the cave room only smelled of wine.
Zheng Huarui once asked him the reason, he said that he didn't like alcohol, he used to be afraid of drinking and making mistakes, but now he is afraid that the smell of wine will smoke her and make her unhappy.
This love and thoughtfulness filled her with sweetness, and he did it.
How to ...... today
Zheng Huarui stepped forward and lit the oil lamp, only then did she see that there was an empty wine jar on the case, and her husband was already flushed from face to neck, and he was already slightly drunk.
"Why do you remember to drink today? Be...... What's bothering? โ
Kou Changqing stood up with one hand, staring at her with bloodshot eyes, but he didn't focus and didn't speak.
"But a headache? The concubine rubs it for you. โ
Zheng Huarui held back her worries, walked around to the back of the circle chair, put her slender hands on both sides of his forehead, and began to gently rub them.
Kou Changqing leaned back in the chair, tilted his face and closed his eyes, as if enjoying himself.
After a while, he suddenly spoke: "Concubine Zheng Guifei summoned you to the palace, what happened?" โ
Zheng Huarui froze for a moment, but it was just like that, and then continued as if nothing happened.
"What's the matter where? It's just that he was bored in the palace, and he summoned the concubine into the palace to talk. โ
"You're lying." Kou Changqing shook his head slightly and said, "It's for Liaodong's business." โ
Zheng Huarui lowered her eyes and looked at her husband's jade-like face, her expression was very complicated.
That's right, she did lie, the third sister summoned her to the palace, it was indeed for the sake of Liaodong.
Speaking of which, it was just that there was no one available in the court, and the emperor thought of the invincible General Kou in the past. But he forced him to negotiate peace with Beiliang at the beginning, he paid for the military power, and he also said what he said to let Jujing be raised, and now he goes back and begs for someone - he can't pull this face, so naturally he has to come forward by the empathetic Zheng Guifei.
Zheng Huarui directly refused, and the reason given was that the old problem had not been cured, but in fact, there was a past incident involved.
When she was not married, she overheard her father and second brother fighting the idea of Liaodong military power, and she was shocked at that time, so she wrote a letter to remind Kou Changqing.
It's a pity that before the letter was delivered, she was called to Jingyang Palace.
It turned out that the eavesdropping that she thought was hidden that day had already been noticed by her father and brother, and it was inconvenient for her father and brother to teach her, so he handed her over to the third sister who had always been close to her.
Concubine Zheng Guifei's favorite thing is her sister, from childhood to adulthood, no matter what mistakes she makes, she will never punish her, and this time she didn't.
She first said that the matter of Liaodong was the emperor's intention, and it was imperative. The Zheng family is just a knife in the hands of the emperor, there is no Zheng family and there are others, it is better to be the Zheng family than others. At least in the future, everyone will be a family, and the Zheng family will never let Kou Changqing suffer too much.
Then he asked Zheng Huarui, do you want Kou Changqing to marry her as soon as possible?
Zheng Huarui thought, of course she did. Although she has been married, she has never been at the door for a day, and her heart has always been unstable.
Zheng Guifei asked, the monk did say that it was not appropriate to start a family before the age of twenty-five, but twenty-five has already passed, and Kou Changqing still has no intention of marrying, what is the reason? A woman's flowering period is already short, and who knows what variables will occur if it drags on any longer? Kou Changqing handed over the power, so he didn't have to fight everywhere, wouldn't it be better to be a rich idler and accompany her in Beijing all day long.
When Zheng Huarui heard this, she was actually already moved.
She fell in love with a brave and warlike general, but she couldn't imagine that after getting married, she would not only have to endure the loneliness of staying alone in an empty house, but also have to face the possibility of losing her husband and widow at any time...... That's horrible.
How good it is to be like an ordinary husband and wife, staying together all day long, turning eyebrows at the window, cooking tea and wine, and only seeing each other in their eyes.
But what really convinced her was Zheng Guifei's last words.
"The emperor originally wanted to get rid of Kou Changqing, but I was afraid that you would be widowed and have a bad reputation, so I interceded with him, and the emperor was willing to give up. Lose power or lose your life, you choose. โ
Zheng Huarui's choice was to burn the letter and sit back and watch a series of things happen after that.
Finally, she married into the Kou family as she wished and became the wife of General Shenwu.
But every time she faced her husband, she always had a sense of emptiness, feeling that she had harmed him with her family......
But if it weren't for her, how could Kou Changqing still have his life?
So, it was she who saved his life, and she didn't feel sorry for him - it was repeated over and over again, and the heart was calm.
Not long after it calmed down, today's incident happened again.
This time, the reason given by Zheng Guifei is still very sufficient.
She asked Zheng Huarui, was Kou Changqing happy in the past two years of living in Beijing?
Zheng Huarui naturally said that she was happy, except for the occasional thoughts......
Zheng Guifei said That's right, the tiger is trapped in a cage, how can it be that there is no concern?
These words made Zheng Huarui feel uncomfortable - it was the cage door of Zheng's family at the beginning.
Zheng Guifei said, at this time and that time, the military power is not in the Kou family, it is in the Zheng family, and if it is not in the Zheng family, it has to be in the Kou family, this is a matter of glory, and it is also an excellent opportunity for Kou Changqing to return to the battlefield and regain power.
Zheng Huarui asked Zheng Guifei rhetorically, why aren't you afraid of her widowhood now?
Zheng Guifei only smiled and asked two irrelevant questions, and successfully gagged her.
She asked, what the people in Beijing thought of Kou Changqing before, and what they think of him nowโaside from those envious words of envy that he climbed to the noble concubine's house, what they really think about him.
I asked again, do you want to marry the Shenwu general who is the mighty world, or Kou Changqing, who is infamous all over the world?
"Husband......
Zheng Huarui's hand slowly moved down, brought his left shoulder bone, and gently pinched it.
"Husband's injuries here, are they all healed?"
"The injury to the left shoulder has long been healed, but the old disease of the right handโ"
Kou Changqing opened his eyes, raised his right hand and shook it at her, his expression was a little gloomy.
"Still can't do it."
Zheng Huarui's heart was distressed, and she was about to say words of comfort, but Kou Changqing brushed away her hand and stood up.
The eyes that should have been gentle and smiling, there was no emotion at all.
"My right hand is useless, Concubine Zheng, your Zheng family, and you, are you disappointed?"
Zheng Huarui couldn't help but regret mentioning this matter a little.
"Husband, don't think about it, the mother just asks casually, and she never means to blame."
"Of course she won't blame!"
Kou Changqing suddenly raised his voice, startling Zheng Huarui.
"I have today, it's all thanks to your Zheng family, do you really think I don't know?"
Zheng Huarui's face turned pale.
"Husband, husband, where did you hear this? Something that has no roots......"
A hint of mockery flashed in Kou Changqing's eyes: "You know best whether there is a foundation or not." โ
Zheng Huarui panicked for a moment.
As she was thinking about how to explain that it had nothing to do with her, her jaw was suddenly grabbed.
The smell of wine sprayed on her face, and Zheng Huarui subconsciously held her breath.
