Chapter 251: Life is the same and death is the same
Liu Qingyan, who had always walked side by side with King Xian, took a step back slightly and stood diagonally behind Xuanyuan Yichen, which seemed to be able to slightly block the envious, jealous and hateful eyes of the concubines when they looked at him. Hearing the greetings of these concubines, she could naturally hear the reluctance and stiffness in their tones. But it's normal, just as they don't want to see them, they don't want to see themselves. In the past, the two sides seemed to be separated by a Chu River and Han border, and they did not interfere with each other. However, the idle king was about to leave, and this scene was also expected by her.
It's a pity that there is only one princess, and it is Liu Qingyan. Although there are many concubines, they can't compare to one Liu Qingyan! This is the consensus that Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan have already reached in their hearts, but these concubines still don't seem to understand and see through this.
The concubines are so carefully dressed, on the one hand, to show the idle king their beauty, if you can impress the idle king again by the way, of course it would be better. On the other hand, I also want to give Princess Xian a dismissal. It's a pity that they couldn't see Princess Xian's face, and Princess Xian obviously didn't take them seriously at all.
Xuanyuan Yichen squinted and secretly looked at Liu Qingyan beside him, knowing that although she was a little impatient, she was not angry or jealous, jealous or anything, he was also a little relieved, and said to the concubines: "I think everyone knows that I am about to leave the house tomorrow to go to the battlefield, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the family cannot be without an owner for a day." After the king leaves, all matters in the house will be handled by the steward. If there is anything that even the butler cannot decide, leave it to the princess to solve it with full authority. No one is allowed to object, do you hear that? ”
All the affairs in the house were basically handled by the housekeeper. The idle king and the idle princess bear the title of a prince and princess, which is almost idle, and will not manage all kinds of idle affairs in the palace. The only thing that even a housekeeper can't handle is probably the competition for favor between concubines. But the idle kings are not here, what else do they have to compete for? The only thing they could do was to unite against the princess. However, Xuanyuan Yichen stifled this possibility in the cradle with a word. Everything is left to the princess to settle at her discretion, and no one needs to do what she is told to do, without any objections!
The blue sky is white, behind him is the vast green and green bamboo forest, and in front of him is a delicate warbler Yanyan. Two completely different landscapes, the former is pleasing to the eye, and the latter can only increase in vain.
Although Xuanyuan Yichen's words were not explained, all the concubines were also smart people, and they naturally heard it clearly in their hearts. Everyone bowed their bodies, bowed their heads slightly, and secretly looked at me, I looked at you, and they couldn't answer the words of the idle king. There are also many people who simply look at Liu Ji, the last time she went out to find Liu Qingyan's trouble, but she returned and was punished. This time, let's see if she will stand up again and raise objections.
It's a pity that everyone can only be disappointed. Liu Ji has been holding a breath in her heart, but she wants to take advantage of this almost to sue Liu Qingyan in front of Xuanyuan Yichen. But just when she saw Liu Qingyan's cold eyes, she felt that her cheeks seemed to be still aching. Instead of stepping forward, she lifted her foot a little further, but stepped back a little.
Seeing that everyone didn't react, Xuanyuan Yichen said again: "All the affairs in the palace will be handled by the princess and the housekeeper, have you heard?" ”
The concubines withdrew their expectant and encouraging eyes, and could only whisper: "Yes!" ”
Xuanyuan Yichen didn't have the energy to talk to them anymore, and he was worried that Liu Qingyan would really be unhappy, so he said: "Since that's the case, let's all step down!" ”
"Lord Wang!" The concubines didn't agree now, they finally seized an opportunity to finally see Xuanyuan Yichen, and they were about to be driven away before they could say a word, so they didn't want it! One by one, they scrambled to shout, but as soon as they came into contact with Liu Qingyan's eyes, their voices unconsciously became a little low and shrunken. They are all weak women after all, and they can't help but shed tears while shouting. Some are afraid, some are aggrieved, and some are annoyed......
Xuanyuan Yichen didn't look at them much, so he said to the housekeeper: "Send them back!" Dropping these words, he took Liu Qingyan's hand, bypassed the dozen or so people, and continued to walk towards Xianting. The housekeeper stood in front of the concubines at the right time, and did not allow them to follow the prince and the princess anymore.
The sound of crying behind him was getting weaker and weaker, but it was getting closer and closer to the idle court in front of him, Liu Qingyan couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do with them in the future?" ”
Xuanyuan Yichen once said that in his life, he wanted to find the only person he liked to spend his life with. This kind of thought, in this ancient time when there were groups of wives and concubines, was simply fantastical, especially when a prince said it. But in the modern era from which Liu Qingyan came, it is necessary and basic. Liu Qingyan, who grew up accepting this kind of thinking since childhood, was able to put down many obstacles and become husband and wife with him precisely because of what Xuanyuan Yichen had told her.
There are so many concubines in the house, although Xuanyuan Yichen once told Liu Qingyan that he has nothing to do with them. But these concubines themselves didn't know, and because of this, Liu Qingyan was even a little hungry and sympathetic to them, so they were allowed to continue to stay in the Xianwang Mansion as Xuanyuan Yichen's concubines. However, this is definitely not a long-term solution, and he will definitely not allow them to stay in the Xianwang Mansion for the rest of their lives. This is his own selfishness, on the other hand, as a woman, Liu Qingyan still hopes that these poor women can find their true happiness!
Xuanyuan Yichen didn't seem to have thought about this question before, but now that Liu Qingyan had asked it, he had to start thinking about it carefully. There is one easiest way to drive them out of the palace directly, and just give them all more severance pay. However, these women are not ordinary women, and they all have their own interests behind them, and it is not that they can be driven out. At least, not yet.
Xuanyuan Yichen didn't want to lie to Liu Qingyan, so he could only tell her: "Qingyan, I can only keep them in the mansion for now." But believe me, in the near future, I will be able to figure out a proper way to accommodate them. ”
Liu Qingyan nodded, "I just said it casually, you just take this matter to heart, I don't need you to do anything right away." "It's not about believing it or not, it's just that everyone is a woman, and although I don't want them to snatch the same husband from me, I still hope that they can have a good ending. As long as they don't take the initiative to provoke themselves, they will definitely not go to their trouble. The two parties continue to live in the same world in peace and quiet, although it is not a long-term solution, but they can still tolerate it for a while. What's more, the most important thing at the moment is not how to settle these concubines, but that tomorrow, Xuanyuan Yichen will be ordered to set off......
At night, the leisurely moonlight shone in through the moonlight, Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan were lying on the same bed, covered with the same quilt, hugging each other and falling asleep, the clothes on their bodies superimposed. Feel each other's gentle and shallow breathing, and listen to each other's steady and powerful heartbeats. The cool breeze blew the hair of the two people, intertwined together, and Liu Qingyan suddenly thought of a sentence: Life is the same, death is the same hole, and the soul is also with you!
In the past, Liu Qingyan didn't believe in any ghosts and gods at all, but since she had her own living example, she had to believe it. They were "together" when they were born, and if there is no accident after death, they must be in the same cave, and their souls are also together, which seems to be a good idea!
