Chapter 181: The Washboard King
The new emperor of Southern Chu ascended the throne, and the emperor ordered King Chen to bring the princess to congratulate. As soon as this will came out, Chu Lixue had no choice but to return to Cloud City, and the original plan to lure out the people behind it had to be suspended.
Chenwang's Mansion, Chu Lixue has been away from the palace for half a month, and the Xiaoxiang Pavilion is clean, not at all like no one has lived in it for half a month.
"Princess, you can be regarded as coming back, the prince is in a hurry, every time he says that he wants to find you, but you also know that this court is inseparable from the prince." Guo Qilan snorted.
Hearing this, Chu Lixue raised her eyebrows slightly, is this a provocation? Or do you want to show off that King Chen is different from her? How could Chu Lixue be angry with her for such a little trick, wouldn't she be too underestimated?
"When the concubine came back, she received a letter from the prince of Dingnan, saying that the third prince of Nanchu had ascended the throne and claimed the emperor, and the emperor was going to send me and the prince as envoys to congratulate him. If not, wouldn't this concubine plan to come back? ”
"Oh? It turned out that the king of Dingnan told the princess, and the concubine said, why did the princess go for more than half a month, and the prince was not worried, it turned out that someone had reported to the princess. However, Princess, the prince has been very fond of eating eight-treasure duck lately, and if the prince goes to your room to eat, remember to let the kitchen cook this dish. Guo Qilan said lightly.
At this moment, King Chen walked over, saw Chu Lixue looking up and down, and saw that there was nothing wrong with her, and his hanging heart was relaxed.
"Lord Wang, you have come back from the next dynasty." Guo Qilan hurriedly greeted her with a smile.
Chu Lixue raised her eyes and glanced at them, looking at the two of them, it seemed that she was really a little redundant. thought that he would be worried after more than half a month of walking, but after listening to Guo Qilan just now, he didn't care if he was doing well. This man is really unlucky.
Chu Lixue secretly slandered here, and King Chen's side kept sneezing, "Lord Wang, what's wrong with you?" But kicked the quilt last night and caught a cold? Guo Qilan took a handkerchief and helped King Chen wipe his mouth and said.
"It's okay, it's okay, just let the kitchen cook me a bowl of ginger soup and drink it later." King Chen said lightly.
While the two were talking, Chu Lixue had already returned to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion with the three girls, "Princess, don't be angry, then Concubine Guo is acting for us to see, she just wants to make you angry so that you can leave the prince, in this case, isn't she the only one in the palace?" So, don't fall for her. Ning Xiang softly reassured.
"Angry? I'm not angry, since he did a fake show with Guo Qilan that day, I have been very disappointed in him, I don't give him some color, it's already because of his identity as a prince. Chu Lixue pouted.
originally thought that his eyesight was still very good, but he didn't expect that this King Chen couldn't withstand the temptation of beauty, so Guo Qilan was really a good means, and she could become a veritable husband and wife with the prince on the night she entered the mansion, but after all, she was despised.
"Princess, in fact, it is normal for this man to have three wives and four concubines, let alone the prince. Especially the white concubine to Concubine Guo is all given by the emperor, and the prince must at least make a bowl of water even. Ning Xiang softly reassured.
"Hmph, a bowl of water? Ning Xiang went to fetch the washboard, remnant snow, you go and fetch a bucket of water. ”
Hearing this, Ning Xiang and Remnant Xue glanced at each other, what does the princess want these things for? Do you have to do laundry? "Princess, if you have any clothes to wash, give them to the slave maid, how can you let the princess do these rough work." Ning Xiang said softly.
Wash clothes? What are these two girls thinking, maybe they don't know how modern women punish cheating men, from the kneeling washboard in the past, by extension, the kneeling keyboard is not allowed to type, and kneeling instant noodles are not allowed to drop slag, but Chu Lixue still has a trick, which is to stuff the durian that the other party hates the most into his mouth and prevent him from spitting it out.
"Don't wash your clothes, prepare the washboard, and when the prince comes, let him kneel on the washboard, hold the bucket of water high above his head, and kneel in the courtyard for an hour." Chu Lixue gritted her teeth and said.
Hearing Chu Lixue say this, the three girls were dumbfounded, this has always been the husband as the wife, and the wife must obey her husband, why did it turn around when she arrived at King Chen's Mansion?
"Princess...... This ......," Ning Xiang said with some hesitation. Let's not talk about whether King Chen will do what the princess said, even if he does, isn't that equivalent to pushing the prince out of the door? Bai Ruyan and Guo Qilan are both looking at it with blank eyes, I wish the prince and the princess would break up, doesn't the princess do this to make others happy?
"Needless to say, go ahead and prepare."
Seeing that Chu Lixue was so determined, the two of them also hurried out of the house, and after a while, they walked back with the things Chu Lixue requested.
Just when Ning Xiang and Remnant Xue had just put down their things, King Chen also stepped into the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
"See the prince." The maids and ladies at the door respectfully ask for peace.
Hearing that someone was asking for peace, Chu Lixue straightened her face, sat on the edge of the bed, and waited for King Chen to come in. King Chen stepped in, saw Ning Xiang and Remnant Snow, and Remnant Moon's face was abnormal, and he saw a washboard and a bucket of water on the ground. Blinked her eyes and said, "Is the lady going to do laundry?" It's okay to hand it over to the rough girl, so why do it yourself. ”
"Phew, laundry? Don't pretend to be crazy and stupid with me, you know what you did yourself. ”
"What did I do? Aren't they all acting? ”
"Acting? Or is it a fake show? Are you when I was a three-year-old? So easy to deceive? You went to Guo Qilan's house for four days in a row to spend the night, am I blind? ”
"What should I have done, it's because of this, didn't I tell you? She was also forced, and the emperor also sent the grandmother in the palace, saying that it was necessary to drive away the evil spirit. King Chen said softly.
He thinks that what he is doing is seamless, and the fact that he and Guo Qilan are already a de facto husband and wife will not be passed on, but how did Lixue know, maybe she listened to the little maids chewing the root of their tongues. Thinking of this, King Chen stepped forward and grabbed Chu Lixue's hand.
Unexpectedly, Chu Lixue shook it vigorously and shook King Chen's hand away, "Don't touch me, I think you're dirty." ”
"Dirty? Hm, it's dirty, I just came back from horseback riding, and I haven't washed my hands yet, so you have a bucket of water here, I'll wash my hands now. After finishing speaking, King Chen squatted down and prepared to wash his hands in the wooden barrel, Chu Lixue looked at him pretending to be crazy and stupid, kicked the wooden barrel over, and a bucket of water was poured on the hem of King Chen's robe.
No matter how good-tempered a man is, it is difficult to suppress the anger in his heart under such circumstances, if he doesn't tell her, he is all acting on the spot, why does it not make sense? For men, women should be like Bai Ruyan and Guo Qilan, looking forward to his arrival all day long.
But Chu Lixue's otherness is cherished by King Chen, she is not hypocritical like those women, but is willing to show her joy and anger in front of her.
Ning Xiang and Rean Xue saw the soaked hem of King Chen's robe, and hurriedly stepped forward to wipe it with a dry towel, "Lord, don't be angry, the princess also cares too much about you in her heart, the princess has been away from home for a while, and you don't care, the princess naturally feels wronged in her heart." Ning Xiang said softly.
"Didn't you say yes? It's all a scene, how can you still take it seriously? King Chen said angrily.
"Acting? Do you really think I'm blind? You and Guo Qilan have been secretly Chen Cang for a long time, and you still want to lie to me. You get out of here, I don't want to see you again, you guy, get out. Chu Lixue picked up the washboard on the wall and hit King Chen's back, scolding while beating, until King Chen was knocked out of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and this matter quickly spread, when Guo Qilan heard the news, she was shocked, "What? The princess actually used a washboard to knock the prince out of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion? It's so presumptuous, how can you beat the prince? Where is this the way to be a wife, how can such a person be a princess? ”
"Miss, do you want us to help the prince get this face back?" Qiuhe proposed.
"No, she is the princess, I am just a side concubine, I have no right to take care of her affairs, not to mention that there are two girls who can do martial arts by her side, we can't bargain for anything."
"Then let her beat the prince like this?" Qiu He wondered. Her young lady has liked King Chen since she was a child, and even if she is married to the emperor, her heart has always been on King Chen. Her young lady has not been easy these years, she can see it very clearly, if it weren't for the county lord of Qinghe, the current princess would be her young lady, which can be seen from the prince's kindness to her young lady.
"Of course not, doesn't Bai Ruyan also like the prince? It depends on whether she knows this matter, as long as she is hinted to enter the palace to tell the queen mother, then the queen mother will definitely deal with the county lord of Qinghe, if this matter is spread through Bai Ruyan again, the prince will certainly lose some face, but the name of the poisonous woman of the county lord of Qinghe will be confirmed. ”
"Miss, don't the people say that Princess Chen is fierce and the number one jealous woman in the world? This time, she dared to beat the prince, it was not as simple as a jealous woman, it was a capital crime to beat the royal family. Qiu He said flatteringly.
"Well, isn't it? Go, pass this matter on to Bai Ruyan, she will know what to do, let's just sit and watch the show. Guo Qilan said lightly.
"Yes, Miss, as long as we put on a generous appearance in front of the prince and everyone, if the Queen Mother decrees the abolition of the position of Princess Chen, the lord of Qinghe County, then the position of the concubine must be in my pocket." Guo Qilan said proudly. It's just like she's a princess now.
The next day, the emperor mentioned this matter as a laughing stock, and the ministers were surprised that Princess Chen was fierce, and at the same time, they also sympathized with King Chen.
"King Chen, your princess is so jealous that she dares to hit you with a washboard, you might as well divorce her, anyway, there are two side concubines in your house, I think Guo side concubine is very good, you live in her room after you get married, and she is the eldest daughter of Guo Junhou, it is more than enough to be your concubine."
"Your Majesty, the minister is indeed sorry for the princess, the manly husband should have spoken, but I broke my promise first, and it is understandable for her to beat me, besides, the minister is a person who practices martial arts, and the princess is just a woman, even if she beats the minister with a washboard, how much strength she can have, it is nothing more than scratching the itch." King Chen said with a smile.
The little Jiujiu in the emperor's heart, King Chen naturally knew, whether Princess Chen was Chu Lixue or the county lord of Qinghe, he wanted to take it away from him, but there was no good excuse, and now he seized every opportunity to find ways to separate their husband and wife, how could such a mind be as he wished.
