Chapter 6: The First Wedding Night
Zhao Qingcheng was greeting the guests in the front hall, and left Li Wei alone in the cave room. This was also something she didn't expect, Li didn't expect Zhao Qingcheng to do all the etiquette, but she had to wait silently in the cave room.
At this time, Li Weixi, who had been tossing for a day, was already hungry, and his chest was pressed against his back.
"Is the prince here?" Li did not hesitate to ask the spring peach who was accompanying him.
Chun Tao looked outside the cave room for a moment and replied, "Not yet." He continued to comfort: "Xu is congratulatory guests are too many, and the prince can't get out for a while. ”
"Hmm." Li Wei was so hungry that he didn't even bother to speak.
"Miss, are you hungry?" Chun Tao suddenly realized that Li Wei regretted to sit in a sedan chair from the Zhongyi Hou Mansion, and so far he has basically not eaten a grain of rice.
"Yes, there are some."
Chun Tao looked at the red dates, lotus seeds, longan, and peanuts on the small table in the cave room, and shook her head, "Miss, you wait for me to find something to eat." "Those snacks on the small table have meanings, and they can't be eaten, Chun Tao understands this truth.
Li didn't hesitate to wait left and right, but Chun Tao went for a long time and didn't come back. Li had no choice but to remove the red hijab, planning to find something to cushion his hunger. But this prince's mansion is not ordinarily big, and he didn't hesitate to go around and look around but didn't find the kitchen. But seeing that there seemed to be an argument at the corner of the corridor, Li did not hesitate to turn around and leave in line with the principle that more things are better than less things, but he vaguely felt that one of the voices was like a spring peach, so he accelerated his steps.
Chun Tao on the other side of the corridor was being stopped by two maids, one tall and one short, one of the shorter maids supported her waist with one hand and pointed to Chun Tao's nose and scolded: "Shameless hooves, dare to steal in the palace!" See that I don't break your hand. ”
Chun Tao held two white-flour steamed buns in her hands, and her face flushed, "This sister, how can you spew blood!" My young lady is hungry, I see that everyone is busy, there are just two steamed buns in the small kitchen, so I want to take them to my young lady to cushion her stomach first, how can it be regarded as stealing! ”
"Dare to be hard-mouthed!" The short maid is about to get started as she speaks.
The tall maid stopped the short maid, but said angrily on the side: "How can it not be stolen if you take it without permission?!" Your Hou Mansion is really a good rule! ”
Chun Tao was angry, "My young lady is your princess now, can't she even eat two white-flour steamed buns?!" ”
The short maid pouted: "Joke! A fool is worthy of being our princess! It's my lord's kindness, just be an idler, you really kick your nose in the face. ”
The tall maid covered her mouth and chuckled: "What kind of master has what kind of subordinate, they are all brazen!" ”
"You ······" Chun Tao was so angry that she couldn't speak, tears rolling in her eyes.
The short maid snatched the steamed bun from Chun Tao's hand, "Anyway, the eldest lady of your Hou Mansion is a fool, it's okay to be hungry for one or two meals, just to save rations for our palace." After saying that, the two maids snickered and prepared to turn around.
Chun Tao was also angry, thinking that her young lady was still hungry, she immediately rushed over to grab the steamed bun.
Who knew that the tall maid had sharp eyes, and pushed hard, pushing Chun Tao to the ground, and the short maid reached out and slapped Chun Tao's face when she saw this.
didn't think that the slap didn't hit, because her wrist was forcibly restrained by Li Weixi.
Li didn't hesitate to help Chun Tao up in distress and carefully checked whether he was injured in the fall.
When Chun Tao saw her own young lady, she quickly got up and exclaimed, "Miss! Continuing to hold back tears, "Miss! Chun Tao just met a few familiar sisters, and after talking for a while, she was delayed. You go back to the room first, and Chun Tao will go get food. Chun Tao didn't want to make it difficult for her young lady, after all, they had just arrived in the palace, and she didn't want to offend people for her, even if it was just a subordinate.
Li didn't hesitate to pat Chun Tao's hand, and saw that the two maids were trying to take the opportunity to slip away, so he said with a cold face: "Stop!" "If you don't teach them a good lesson today, these subordinates really think she is a fool and is easy to bully!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the front hall, Zhao Qingcheng had just finished sending off the last batch of guests, when he saw Fu Bo hurrying forward and whispering a few words. Zhao Qingcheng immediately frowned slightly, and walked towards the backyard······
The two maids were stopped by Li and didn't dare to leave, and secretly thought to themselves: It is rumored that the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion is a fool, but the princess in front of her has a straight face and sharp eyes, and she doesn't look like a fool no matter how she looks at it. I didn't know what to do for a while, so I could only bow my head and look at each other.
Li Wei sneered, "I still don't salute when I see this princess, this is the rule of your palace?" ”
The tall maid reacted first, leaned over and saluted: "The slave maid has seen the princess." The short maid hesitated slightly, and quickly saluted Li Weihe.
Li didn't hesitate to catch a glimpse of Zhao Qingcheng, who was walking not far from her, but stopped abruptly about ten steps away from her, and the red wedding dress was particularly conspicuous in the moonlight.
Zhao Qingcheng stopped in a place where he could hear them talking, he had been acting for a day today, and he was tired, and now it was his turn to watch the play. Zhao Qingcheng's hands were unconsciously behind his back, and his slender figure was extremely scorching against the background of the bright moon.
"Say Chun Tao doesn't understand your rules? Of course, Chun Tao just entered the door with this princess today, so naturally she doesn't know the rules of your palace very well. Li did not hesitate to pretend to be humble and said: "Otherwise, which of the two of you has good rules, teach me, and I will do good things for her when I go back." ”
Only then did these two maids realize that this eldest lady of the Hou Mansion was not easy to bully, and hurriedly knelt down: "The slave maid doesn't dare." ”
"Don't dare? I don't see that. Li didn't regret that there was a burst of coldness in his starry eyes and threw himself at 'somewhere', "The world says that this Yan Wangfu is good!" Eat, there are endless mountain treasures; Wearing, the inexhaustible Ayara, although it is not as good as the palace, but it is also not worrying about eating and drinking, and wearing is worry-free. Li didn't hesitate to sigh lightly, "I never thought that this Yan Wangfu was in such a situation, and he actually asked the princess who had just entered the door to be hungry and just want to save the palace rations." From this point of view, this Yan Wangfu has long been unable to make ends meet, and it is strong on the outside. As a master, do this, in order to support the façade to feed so many of you and save the master's rations, I think your prince doesn't do it, at least he can eat a full meal. ”
Chun Tao wanted to laugh very much, but when she thought of the prince who was still standing not far away, she didn't dare to laugh, and she held it so hard.
Fu Bo, who was a few steps away, was also shocked, their prince was very face-saving. This lady of the Hou Mansion has no mercy at all. Fu Bo raised his eyes and secretly glanced at Zhao Qingcheng on the side, and then closed his eyes and sighed in his heart.
At this time, Zhao Qingcheng was still interested in watching the play, his handsome face was blue, and his eyebrows and eyes were cloudy.
Li did not hesitate to ignore Zhao Qingcheng's murderous eyes, and said to the two maids who were kneeling on the ground trembling: "But there is a sentence that you are right, this princess also thinks that 'what kind of master there is, what kind of subordinate there is'." Apricot eyes flowed, and sighed: "Hey, I have wronged you people." Look at you, and you will know that your prince is a ······."
Without waiting for Li to finish speaking, Zhao Qingcheng interrupted her words with a loud scolding: "Someone!" Pull these two nonsense and inferiority down and beat them with a rod and twenty, and they were dumb and blasted out of the house. ”
The two maids had always had their backs to Zhao Qingcheng from beginning to end, and when they heard his voice, they were already paralyzed in fright and let the family drag them out.
Li didn't hesitate to stand there indifferently, as if nothing had happened.
Zhao Qingcheng glanced at her with a dark face and dragged her in the direction of the cave room.
Li didn't hesitate to be dragged by him and pulled into the room, and just as he wanted to have a seizure, he saw noodles and a few side dishes on the table, both meat and vegetarian, and he had already forgotten his previous displeasure. She didn't move her chopsticks, turned around and asked, "Lord Wang, is this for me?" ”
"Hmm." Isn't that nonsense! He had already eaten it at the banquet just now, and it wasn't a pig who would be hungry so quickly.
"Lord Wang, are there still empty bowls? I want to give some points to Spring Peach. ”
"It's been delivered." She would feel sorry for her maid, Zhao Qingcheng thought.
Hearing this, Li did not hesitate to eat the noodles unceremoniously. Zhao Qingcheng looked at her little mouth and ate it very deliciously, and it looked very cute. I remembered the mean words that came out of this little mouth just now, and I suddenly felt angry. He simply couldn't see it, and just lay on the bed and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Li didn't hesitate to eat enough and put down the dishes and chopsticks. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Zhao Qingcheng lying on the bed with a big grin, his willow eyebrows frowning slightly.
"Lord Wang, do you want me to talk about the content of the agreement?" The reminder didn't seem to have had any effect.
I wanted to give the room to Zhao Qingcheng and go to squeeze with Chun Tao for one night. But now the night is deep, and in this huge palace, she doesn't know the way when the lights are blind. And with only such a bed in this room, she really couldn't do anything about it. After weighing it again, she could only reach out to pull Zhao Qingcheng up, wanting to pull him up and let him sleep elsewhere.
Zhao Qingcheng didn't even raise his eyelids, and said slowly: "This king's tolerance is limited, and it is easy for this king to kill one or two people in the palace." ”
Li didn't hesitate to hear from his indifferent words that he was telling the truth this time! Frightened, her outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.
"In this year, you will be the princess of this king, and this king will definitely fulfill the agreement and will not touch you at all."
didn't wait for a reaction for a while, Zhao Qingcheng couldn't help but open his eyes, only to see that Li Weixi still maintained the action just now and was on the side of the bed. This girl was really frightened, her heart softened, and she said: "There are many eyes and ears in the palace, today you married the king, but the king did not spend the night in the new house, do you think if this matter spreads out, what will happen if it accidentally enters the ears of the emperor or the queen mother?" ”
Li Wei regretted that she was relieved, she was not a fool, of course she understood the meaning of Zhao Qing's admit, and it seemed that his life as a prince was not easy.
Seeing that Li Weixi seemed to understand his words, Zhao Qingcheng closed his eyes with satisfaction, "After tomorrow, this king has his own way, you can find a comfortable place to sleep here tonight!" After speaking, he didn't pay attention to Li Weixi.
What do you mean by finding a comfortable place for yourself?! There is only one bed in this room, and there is still a comfortable place! Fortunately, Li is no longer as delicate as before. In that world, I didn't sleep anywhere when I was a stuntman in the crew. Li didn't hesitate to lie on the ground without saying a word, and fell asleep not long after.
On the contrary, Zhao Qingcheng tossed and turned overnight, he had never seen such an eldest lady, even ordinary women are rare. I saw that Li didn't hesitate to sleep directly on the ground, and he slept so peacefully. In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he got up and carried the sleeping pig-like woman to bed. I changed into court clothes and went to the palace.
Li Weixi is actually the kind of person who falls asleep easily and wakes up easily, and she was already awake the moment Zhao Qingcheng picked her up. But she didn't open her eyes and resist immediately, but was vigilant against Zhao Qingcheng's next move, and she would never be polite if something was wrong.
Zhao Qingcheng just gently put her on the bed, and then poured something on the mattress under her, and only after half a cup of tea did he help her cover the quilt.
After repeatedly making sure that Zhao Qingcheng had left the room, Li did not hesitate to sit up from the bed and lift the quilt. Whispering, "What the hell was he doing?" What caught her eye was "falling red"! Secretly glad that I didn't open my eyes just now, otherwise I would be embarrassed. Looking at the "falling red" like a blooming red plum on this pure white silk scarf, Li did not hesitate to begin to explore this prince······
Regardless of whether Zhao Qingcheng did this out of a man's self-esteem or to avoid arousing the suspicion of others, this move confirmed the fact that she was the princess of Zhao Qingcheng's name. Everything yesterday caught Li off guard, and he fell asleep tired at night. It's time for her to think things over and put her thoughts together so that she can plan for the future.
Li didn't hesitate to have thoughts churning in her head, her father's death made her haunted, and the root cause was to save Zhao Qingcheng, but she always felt that things didn't seem to be as simple as they seemed on the surface.
First of all, her "accident" in the palace was very strange. First, since her father was urgently summoned by the emperor to the palace to discuss the rescue of the prince, why would he take her with him, which would only increase the burden. Second, Li did not regret that because of the lack of memory of entering the palace with his father, he once asked Chun Tao what happened to him in the palace. Chun Tao said, "Even the old lady has asked the master many times, but the master didn't say a word." It can be seen that her "accident" in the palace alone has a lot to say.
Aside from these, Zhao Qingcheng was killed, the emperor abolished him when his life and death were uncertain, and he died shortly after the new crown prince was appointed······
