Chapter 231: Oil and Salt Don't Enter
Chu Yaocen was very speechless about his previous words, and originally wanted to refute him, but when he saw him ask like this later, he replied to him: "It's because I have some friendship with that Qinglou woman and believe in her personality." Does the prince want to see her before making a decision? ”
"Oh? I have a friendship with you, so you came to see this king for her? King Kang's eyes turned, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and said, "It seems that you have a good relationship with her." ”
Chu Yaocen propped his hand on the table and gently spared his hanging hair, he felt that King Kang's tone was a little wrong, so he didn't rashly answer King Kang's words.
"Yes, I can go to see the Qinglou woman, or I can take that child back and give him the name of a little prince, but the premise is that you will join the command of this king and do things for this king in the future," King Kang said, leaning slightly to Chu Yaocen's side, and asked, "How is it?" ”
Chu Yaocen smiled faintly and said: "Your Yin family's prince's method of asking for people is really winding, last time in order to establish friendship with my Chu family, Prince Jue deliberately arrested me and put me in prison for several days, but now Prince Kang wants to threaten me with such things, what do you want me to say?" ”
"Oh? So what way does the second young master think we should invite you? King Kang asked him.
Chu Yaocen sighed: "Even if I don't have Zhuge talent, I am also a useful person to you, as for where I am useful, I think King Kang also knows, so you should be polite to me, right?" ”
"Haha, the fourth brother locked you up, and later released you, maybe it was to sell a favor to your Chu family, the main purpose may be for your father, and I'm just for you." King Kang raised his hand and pointed at Chu Yaocen and asked, "Do you give a word, do you follow this king?" ”
Chu Yaocen naturally wouldn't make any promises so easily, but he couldn't explicitly refuse him. His slightly heterochromatic eyes flashed for a moment, and he flicked his sleeves and said to King Kang: "Lord, Yao Cen really has no interest in the affairs of the court, but if the prince really looks up to Yao Cen so much, Yao Cen is also willing to fight with the prince in the east and west, or strategize in the court." It's just that now the family business in Yaocen's hands has just started, and it's not good to explain to his father like this, so it's better for the prince to give Yaocen a few days to think about it, think about it clearly, and then come to the prince. ”
How could King Kang not know that Chu Yaocen was delaying the army? But whether he can win over Chu Yaocen this time depends on how much weight the Qinglou woman in his mouth has. And King Kang believes that this weight is very sufficient.
He nodded and said, "Yes, no matter how long it takes, this king is waiting for you." ”
Chu Yaocen also nodded, and then the two talked for a while, and Chu Yaocen got up and said goodbye.
Taking advantage of the time when he left the Chu family, Bai Qingqing also took advantage of this loophole to meet Qingdi. Qingdi heard some things about Bai Qingqing from Chu Yaocen last night, and now she doesn't hate her too much, so she is allowed to say more.
This time, Qingdi let Bai Qingqing enter the room and sit.
Qingdi's tone and attitude are not too good, but her face is much better-looking, and she asked, "You want to see me every day, what do you want to tell me?" ”
Bai Qing cleaned up his skirt, did it in a proper manner, smiled kindly, and said to Qingdi: "I'm here to apologize to you, I'm really sorry to add a blockage to your heart these days, but I can't help it, I'm all for the sake of the child......"
Qingdi looked at her appearance, whether in terms of posture or dress, she was a dignified and upright demeanor, and her speaking attitude was also kind, which made her more and more generous and lovable. Look at yourself again...... She really dumped her two streets, what a difficult opponent!
Qingdi hurriedly sat up straight, the meanness on her face disappeared, and said to her, "It's okay, I didn't take it to heart at all." ”
"That's good." Bai Qingqing seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, raised his handkerchief and smiled, and continued: "Regarding the purpose of my coming to the Chu family, Yao Cen should have told you too, right?" ”
Qingdi nodded: "Say, what do you want?" ”
Bai Qingqing hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, I don't want to do anything, it's just that Yao Cen shouldn't have helped me, but he still helped me, I feel very grateful, and I am willing to repay Yao Cen by being a cow and a horse in the future...... If you don't dislike it, how about letting me stay with you and be a servant? ”
When Qingdi heard this, the good impression she had for Bai Qingqing just now was gone, what did she have in mind? What does it mean to stay by Yaozen's side? And why does she keep calling "Yao Cen" and "Yao Cen"? Won't you call the second young master!
Qingdi frowned slightly, and said: "No need, we have a lot of maids, if His Royal Highness King Kang is really willing to come and pick you up and the child back, you go back, you don't have to keep Yao Cen's kindness in mind, Yao Cen has always been kind-hearted, even to the homeless cats and dogs seen on the side of the road, he will also throw two meat buns over, let alone a living person like you?" ”
Bai Qingqing couldn't help but squint her watery peach blossom eyes, this Qingdi is really powerful, not only to reject her, but also to slap her in the face, it's really interesting.
Bai Qingqing figured out Qingdi's temperament, and no longer continued to take this pathetic way, changed his face to be smarter than just now, and said to her: "However, if you stay with me, maybe it will help you." ”
Qingdi sneered and said, "What can you help a woman like you who can't hold your hands and can't resist your shoulders?" Help me eat? ”
"Second Young Lady, why are you so angry?" Bai Qingqing sighed and said: "You are also the daughter of a rich family in the imperial city, but with such a hot temper and cold face, you will not be able to call friends, and you will offend people." Do you know how terrible these upper-class women are? Let's pay attention. ”
Qingdi looked Bai Qingqing up and down, and sneered: "You seem to understand very well, have you been mixing among the upper-class women for a long time?" ”
"I ......" Bai Qingqing seemed to have something to say, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed again, and said: "That's not true, but I really want to help you." ”
"You want to help me?" Qingdi didn't believe her, and snorted coldly: "You want to kill me, and then you will be with Yao Cen, right?" ”
"That's really not the case...... Bai Qingqing said helplessly: "I really feel that I owe Yao Cen too much, so I want to do something for the two of you." If you stay with me, I can help you deal with the He family, so that you and Yao Cen can get the family property as soon as possible and separate out. ”
When Qingdi heard this, he slapped the table heavily and said coldly: "Who told you that Yao Cen and I were going to be separated?" We did a good job under our father, and we also cooperated well with our eldest brother, so why should we separate? ”
Bai Qingqing was startled, but after a while, he relieved himself and said helplessly: "Okay, it seems that you can't listen to what I said today." But it doesn't matter, you'll come to me in the future. ”
Qingdi only smiled and didn't speak, Bai Qingqing really had nothing to do with her, so she had to get up and say goodbye.
She was very disappointed in her heart, but she also became more and more interested in Qingdi, and it was a miracle that such a person could still live in the Chu family for so long......
Not long after she left the courtyard, the people of the He family came over, and after seeing Bai Qingqing, the man said, "Miss Bai, Madame, please come over." ”
Bai Qingqing stopped and thought for a moment, then smiled slightly and left with the man.
When he arrived at He's place, after Bai Qingqing saluted, He took Bai Qingqing's hand affectionately and said: "Qingqing, I sent someone to look for you in the morning, but I didn't find it, I heard that you went to Qingdi's place and asked to see her?" ”
Bai Qingqing had already heard about the relationship between He and Qingdi from the mouths of various people, and knew that the two of them were not in harmony, so she rolled her eyes and said to He: "Yes, I originally wanted to tell the second young grandmother the truth, and begged her to accept my child, I could leave the Chu family immediately, but she didn't give me the slightest chance to speak, so she kicked me out......"
"How could she do that!" He Shi was very angry, and comforted Bai Qingqing: "Don't be sad, she, she is such a person, she has a bad temper, she treats herself as the concubine of the prime minister's mansion every day, she has this attitude towards everyone, who in our house doesn't hate her?" ”
"But what should I do? If the second young grandmother doesn't accept my Sen'er, even if Yao Cen is willing to stay with Sen'er, the second young grandmother will still give him the guilt, how can I leave with confidence? As he spoke, Bai Qingqing's eyes were already moist, and he was about to cry.
"Don't cry child," He patted her on the back and said, "What you said is indeed reasonable, if Qingdi doesn't like your child, she, as the child's mother-in-law, will definitely not let the child have a good time in the future." ”
"What should I do then?" Bai Qingqing cried for a while, her pair of soft silkworm eyes were already like a pool full of tears, and she looked at He Shi pitifully.
"So what else can be done? Of course you're staying. He sighed and said: "Sen'er is also my grandson, I naturally don't want to see him bullied, if you are forced away by Qingdi, I can also take care of Sen'er, but I am not Qingdi after all, Sen'er is always in front of me, and he doesn't follow the rules, so I can't help you take care of him for a long time, so I advise you to stay too." ”
Bai Qingqing raised a sad face and said, "But Qingdi can't even tolerate my children, how can he tolerate me?" ”
"What you're saying is really the crux of the matter." He Shi also frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly said: "But ah, you are much better looking than Qingdi, more sensible than her, gentler than her, and now there are Yao Cen's children, how can you be more important than Qing Di in Yao Cen's heart, right?" ”
At the mention of Chu Yaocen, Bai Qingqing's face turned red subconsciously, and he said, "I don't know what Yaocen thinks. ”
"Listen to me, I know Yaocen, Yaocen must love you more than Qingdi." He patted her on the shoulder and persuaded: "So, if you squeeze Qingdi out of the position of the second young grandmother, become Yaocen's wife yourself, and call Qingdi a concubine, won't you take good care of your children?" ”
