334: Killing chickens and making an example of monkeys
"We are here today to exchange experiences with our husbands, and everyone has a lot of complaints about Princess Xian, since this is the case, Princess Xian will talk about it first!" Qiao Zhen smiled gently, and only Li Xishuang could see the sharpness in her eyes: "This is good to block everyone's mouths." ”
"Since the queen mother said so, it is better to be respectful than to obey her fate." Li Xishuang didn't know what to think of, and a faint flush appeared on her face.
Qiao Zhen looked at her shy look in her eyes, huh...... She also pretended to be decent, like a woman living in happiness.
"Once, Xishuang once pulled the prince to accompany me to the pig's trotter shop in the north of the city, that day, the sky was drizzling, we sat in the shop, while eating delicious, while looking at the pedestrians outside the window, unexpectedly, guess who I saw?"
Seeing that no one answered, Li Xishuang continued: "I saw Miss Wei Er, she was standing outside Wang Er's pig's trotter shop, and the drizzle covered her hair with a layer of mist, making her look exceptionally beautiful. ”
Qiao Zhen couldn't help but sigh that this Li Xishuang was a strong opponent, openly and secretly, she could always find an opportunity to win back Yicheng, and when she was at a loss for how to answer her words, she suddenly heard the daughter-in-law next to her snort coldly. Qiao Zhen turned her face slightly, looking at Zhang Wan'er, who was full of joy, anger and sorrow on her face, and unconsciously hooked the corners of her lips.
Zhang Wan'er grinned, this Li Xishuang was praising Ziyu on the surface, but in fact, she wanted to use this matter to respond to the fact that King Xian's favorite person was Ziyu. She really thought how popular King Xian was, and he was the ideal husband of all the girls in the boudoir who left the city. It's a pity that Ziyu doesn't have a virtuous king in his eyes now, so he dares to say that Ziyu sticks to the virtuous king upside down, and see how she refutes Li Xishuang.
"What Princess Xian said, Wan'er understands. That day, Wan'er happened to go to the Weifu as a guest, and heard Ziyu mention King Xian and Princess Xian, she originally wanted to eat Wang Er's pig's trotters, stood outside the shop and watched for a long time, the shopkeeper felt her sight, and personally packed the pig's trotters for her, Ziyu is a frequent customer of Wang Er's pig's trotter shop in the north of the city, and the shopkeeper knows her preferences. Ziyu handed the silver to the shopkeeper, saying that the reason why she didn't go into the shop to buy pig's trotters was just because her brother disliked her and gained weight. ”
Zhang Wan'er glanced at Li Xishuang not far away, she can make up nonsense to slander Wei Ziyu, why can't she make up nonsense to save her respect? It's just that I pity Ziyu, obviously I wasn't there, but I was implicated for no reason.
"What about the others?" Qiao Zhen saw that Zhang Wan'er refuted Li Xishuang, so she moved her gaze to the others. She has done so much, Li Xishuang should also be able to feel her hostility, and next, it depends on whether she chooses to be silent or choose to be impatient after she goes back.
If Li Xishuang can bear today's humiliation, then she really has to be impressed with her.
Finally survived until the end of the banquet, Li Xishuang returned to the Xianwang Mansion physically and mentally exhausted, she just participated in the queen's banquet today, and she knew so many things that she didn't know before. The prince's obsession with Wei Ziyu is not understandable to ordinary people.
Although Li Xishuang understands, she doesn't want to let this matter develop like this, if the prince becomes the emperor in the future, and he takes Wei Ziyu as a concubine, sooner or later one day will threaten her status, and this matter must not be resigned.
Back at King Xian's Mansion, it was getting late, and Li Xishuang raised his feet and walked towards Qingning Courtyard. She knocked on the door of the study, and Zhongli Bojun heard the voice, holding the book on the table in one hand, and replied, "Come in." ”
Li Xishuang pushed open the door and walked in, Zhongli Bojun raised his eyes and saw someone coming, and his originally plain face was instantly clouded: "What are you doing?" ”
"Lord Wang."
"The king asked you what you were doing? Please leave if you have nothing to do. ”
"Lord, the concubine is just a ......"
"Get out." Zhongli Bojun's voice was still calm, and there was still no warmth in his tone.
"Lord, the concubine has something to say." Li Xishuang gritted her teeth, quickly walked to the bookcase, and sat opposite Zhongli Bojun.
Zhong Li's hand on the bookcase curled up slightly, suppressed his imminent anger, and asked, "What's the matter?" Say it. ”
"Today, the queen invited the concubine into the palace to participate in the banquet."
"That's your business, what does this king have to do with it?" Zhongli Bojun lowered his head, his eyes on the books, and no longer looked at him.
"Does the prince know how the queen mother bullied the concubine?"
"I don't know, and I don't want to know. Do you want this king to stand up for you and enter the palace to blame the queen? ”
"Concubine ......"
"Li Xishuang, you're enough, don't take yourself too seriously. Not to mention what you are to me, why should this king offend the queen for you? ”
"What about Wei Ziyu?" Li Xishuang's eyes were slightly red, seeing that Zhong Li Bojun still refused to look at her, the grievances that had been accumulated in his heart instantly came to his heart, so it was okay to comfort him, why was he so indifferent? Why is a person who looks so gentle on the outside so resolute?
"You can't compare to her, so stop asking such stupid questions. This king doesn't want to waste time listening to you talk nonsense, so leave quickly if you have nothing to do, and don't disturb this king. ”
"Lord, isn't it because the queen is making things so difficult for her concubine today?" Li Xishuang's voice was crying, and she finally couldn't help but burst out of the long-accumulated grievances: "The queen would not treat the concubine like this before. ”
"If you feel wronged, this king will write a letter of separation, if you feel that you can't get over the face, this king will also accept your proposal to divorce." Zhongli Bojun said, took out a piece of rice paper, picked up the pen and began to write the book.
Seeing this, Li Xishuang couldn't stop tears from rolling down her cheeks, she grabbed the rice paper on the case, crumpled it into a ball in three or two strokes, and threw it into the distance. Seeing that Zhongli Bojun was stunned for a moment, she reached out and picked up Zhongli Bojun's face and stepped forward. Before he could touch Zhongli Bojun's lips, he was pushed to the ground by Zhongli Bojun.
"Please respect yourself." Zhongli Bojun stood up angrily, it was really worthy of Li Xishuang, he could easily provoke him.
"Lord, the concubine is the princess's concubine, and she is intimate with the prince, how can she not be called self-respecting?" Li Xishuang sat on the floor and shouted hysterically.
"In the eyes of everyone, you are indeed a virtuous princess, but in the heart of this king, you are just the daughter of the left minister, don't forget your identity." Zhongli Bojun looked at her with disgust, and always felt that the face that had been touched by Li Xishuang was a little weird, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
The first woman he kissed was Wei Ziyu, and since then, he will not accept other women easily. At least, he won't accept another woman until his hopes are dashed.
"Lord Wang, haven't you seen the queen's intentions? She is provoking the prince, and in today's matter, she is killing chickens and making an example of monkeys. ”
"So what?" Zhongli Bojun opened the door of the study and shouted: "Come, send the princess back, clean the study by the way, prepare hot water for this king, and this king will take a bath." ”
"Yes."
"Lord Wang......" Li Xishuang, who was taken away by the maids, looked at Zhongli Bojun with her back to her, but never saw him look back.
Zhongli Bojun has a kind and gentle face, but he has an indifferent temperament. He will not put a little thought into the person who is not recognized by him, even if he is the person who is recognized by him, when he encounters a choice, he will choose the choice that is most beneficial to him.
He may be such a hot person on the outside and cold on the inside, he wants the country, so he gave up his lover. Or perhaps, he has never given up on his lover, but time has passed, and the heart that has been hurt by him can no longer get close to him.
If he says that his choice is a last resort, will anyone forgive him?
"Bojun, you have to promise your mother ......"
"Bojun, you have to promise your mother ......"
"Bojun, you have to promise your mother ......"
……
"Uh~" This sentence kept echoing in his head, making him have a splitting headache. Stress, guilt, and pain mingled as he reached out to cover his head, telling himself over and over again to calm down.
"Lord Wang." Shangguan heard the cold and rushed to see him like this: "What's wrong with you, Lord Wang?" ”
"No problem."
Lie in the bath with your bare arms and rest the back of your head against the edge of the bath. Thinking back to what he had experienced with Yu Ziyu before, his eyes were a little moist from the heat. Thinking of Li Xishuang touching his face just now, he simply shrank into the bath and soaked himself in the bath, and after a while, the surface of the bath was calm.
He really wanted to indulge in the water of this pool, but his task was not yet complete, and at this thought, he poked his head out of the bath again, and the water beaded across his cheeks.
……
Li Xishuang returned to the hospital, and after crying a lot, she lost her temper again. Since Zhongli Bojun refused to make decisions for her, she could only find her father.
Thinking that such an embarrassed appearance would be seen by his father now, Li Xishuang couldn't help but redden.
The next day, taking advantage of Zhongli Bojun's ascension to the court, Li Xishuang returned to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion by carriage. Li Zi went down to the early dynasty and saw Li Xishuang standing in front of the mansion to greet him. When Li Zi saw this situation, he couldn't help but think of the days when she was not married.
"Shuang'er doesn't stay in King Xian's Mansion, what are you doing in Zuo Xiang's Mansion?" Li Zi walked up to her, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"What? Didn't even her father welcome Frost? ”
"Is Frost having a good time?"
"Didn't my father always know about Frost's embarrassment? Why do you knowingly ask, how hurtful! ”
Li Zi stretched out his hand and stroked the back of Li Xishuang's head, and asked softly, "If Shuang'er doesn't want to stay in the Xianwang Mansion, you can leave at any time." ”
"The prince said the same...... Li Xishuang lowered her head and smiled: "But Shuang'er is not the kind of person who gives up easily, even if she dies, she has to be tied to the prince." ”
"Frost."
"Father, we and the prince are grasshoppers on the same rope, one is prosperous, and the other is lost, and my father must recognize this."
"Haha......" Li Ziwang looked forward and smiled soullessly: "Shuang'er wants to be a grasshopper, but she doesn't want to be a father, and His Royal Highness King Xian may not want to." ”
"Father, yesterday the queen invited Shuang'er into the palace."
"Oh? What happened? Said to the father. ”
Li Xishuang heard Li Zi's answer, her nose was sour, and tears couldn't help but burst out of her eyes.
