He Shaoqing and the bell were discussing taking out some of the insect-bitten fabrics in the warehouse and disposing of them, and when they were talking about a few countermeasures, they saw Hongfang angrily walking in from outside, slamming one hand on the door, and there was a loud noise, which startled everyone.

Bell looked back at Hongfang's face was extremely ugly, and he was also timid in his heart, and heard He Shaoqing calmly order: "Bell, you go and see what has been done in the sewing room recently, and draw two hands out." Everyone else go down, I have something to say to the prince. Hearing He Shaoqing's order, everyone was relieved, bowed one after another, and hurriedly fled from the scene of the impending disaster.

The maids all retreated one by one, Hongfang's expressions and movements remained unchanged, He Shaoqing walked over as if she had nothing to do, and smiled softly at Hongfang: "The prince came back early today, and let people stew corn and lily and red date soup, originally thought that you would have to come back at night, or I will let people, ah!" Before He Shaoqing finished speaking, she was grabbed by Hongfang's wrist violently, and her strength was so great that she couldn't help but exclaim.

"What are you going to provoke her for?" Hongfang looked at her little face that was wrinkled in pain, and he didn't mean to let go.

He Shaoqing was sweating in pain, Hongfang's strength was so great that she couldn't break free, for fear that if he didn't let go, he would break her hand, so she hurriedly used her other hand to break Hongfang's big palm, "Shiziye, my hand is going to be broken." ”

Hearing her say this, Hongfang let go of his hand, and a circle of crimson strangulation marks appeared on He Shaoqing's white wrist, lining her skin, which was very shocking.

She rubbed her wrists, knowing in her heart where Hongfang's anger came from, but she also had anger in her heart. It's just that I invited a guest to my house, but my husband was so nervous that she was like she could eat people, and they both knew what the identity of this guest was.

Seeing the red marks on her hands, Hongfang felt a little unreasonable, turned around, walked to the chair on the side, and sat without saying a word.

In the past, it was a monthly practice for Hongfang to come to her house, and the time was as accurate as if a devout believer went to the temple to offer incense, except for those days, it was difficult to see him at other times. Although such a day was expected for He Shaoqing, it was a lie to see him say cold words to her every time like a routine, but he cared for the concubine gently, saying that it would be a lie not to be jealous. It's just that Hongfang is too good at covering up, and in front of outsiders, he and her are like a couple of Qin Se and Ming.

He Shaoqing saw him tearing his face, and he didn't bother to put on a smiling face to greet him, walked to the seat next to him and sat down, and said lightly: "The prince is too worried, I just have long admired the name of Mrs. Xingyong Marquis, and I just want to get acquainted." Hongfang glared at him, and He Shaoqing still said calmly: "Besides, the palace sent so many things to her before, so she has to come to the door to thank her." ”

Hongfang said unhappily: "Who told you that it was sent by the palace." ”

He Shaoqing looked at him lightly, looking at his inexplicable anger, "Didn't the prince send it over in my name, am I not from the palace?" I have no objection to giving people this gift, but I have to know who this person is and what he looks like, otherwise people will ask me how to answer. Hongfang was stopped by what she said, knowing in his heart that he was impulsive, for fear that He Shaoqing would find trouble with Shaohua, so he would come over so angrily, hoping to take the lead, but he didn't expect to be restrained.

He Shaoqing naturally knew that Hongfang was at a loss, but she was also glad that Hongfang was not an unreasonable person, but the more she knew about Hongfang, the more complicated her feelings became.

"You'd better not try anything against her." After a while, Hong Fang spit out.

He Shaoqing laughed angrily, "What do you think I have any intentions for her, she is the wife of the Marquis of Xingyong, and the righteous daughter of the Marquis of Dingxi, even her son can be named by the emperor, I can't get such a nobleman." However, the prince of the world has overstepped his bounds, as the saying goes, he is not attentive when he has nothing to do, and he gives gifts and medicines to other people's wives and children for no reason, and outsiders know what to think, what will Xingyong Marquis think. To put it bluntly, He Shaoqing spit out the resentment in her heart at once, "Others don't want to accept gifts, but it's better for the prince to send them over in a different name, and let people return the gifts as they are, and I, the client, are still in the dark." I want to know, what is the intention of the prince, he is still in a hurry to give gifts when he is rejected to such an extent, if the prince is so concerned about Mrs. Xingyonghou, why didn't he marry her as the princess in the first place. ”

Perhaps accustomed to He Shaoqing's quiet and gentleness, Hongfang didn't expect that the angry cat was also a little powerful, this sneer was like hot oil, pouring his anger, especially the last sentence, which hit Hongfang's pain, and he immediately jumped up from the chair.

"He Shaoqing, shut up for me!" Hongfang was so angry that he scolded her by name, "What I do is my business, you don't have to worry about it." ”

Taking advantage of the anger, He Shaoqing didn't care about being reserved, and said sarcastically one after another: "Of course I can't control what the prince wants to do, and I don't want to care, but please be self-disciplined, not to mention Li Wuniang's family identity, just rush that she is someone else's wife, and the prince should stop in moderation." ”

He Shaoqing was speaking fiercely, but she didn't expect a slap in the sky, which made her a little starry.

"Master!" The bell, who had been hiding outside and eavesdropping, heard the sound of the slap, and hurriedly ran in in fright, just in time to see He Shaoqing's red and swollen face, and was stunned in place.

"Get out of here!" Hongfang glared at the bell angrily, and actually scared her legs weak, and she fell to the ground, he turned his head to look at He Shaoqing, "Just remember your identity, and I'm not welcome next time!" ”

After speaking, he didn't even look at He Shaoqing, turned around and walked out.

It wasn't until he walked away that the bell got up from the ground tremblingly and trotted towards He Shaoqing. Seeing her sitting on the chair in a daze in despair, the bell was so distressed that tears fell, "Master, does it hurt?" The prince is like this, I will call someone to ask for a doctor. ”

He Shaoqing grabbed her and shook her head: "It's okay, don't ask a doctor, just find some medicine." ”

She didn't know how hot she was just now, she thought that she could endure it, even if she couldn't sing with her husband and wife, she could at least be respectful and old, and she should do her duty. The pregnancy of the concubines and the turnip soup after the fact, the difference in treatment made her feel a little cold, and the appearance of Shaohua made her feel sour. But He Shaoqing still knows in her heart that all this is just a man's sad sustenance for his sweetheart who can't get it.

Looking at the concubines in the backyard, He Shaoqing told herself not to expect to be favored by Hongfang, and not to be tempted by him, this man is just her reliance for the rest of her life. She only needs to do a good job of a main room, the magnanimity and scenery that a princess should have, and don't expect anything else.

But when he heard that Hongfang was angry with her because he was worried that she would be unfavorable to Shaohua, his heart was like knocking over a five-flavor bottle, it was resentment, anger, and unwillingness and sourness. When she nakedly broke through Hongfang's cover-up and pointed directly at his feelings for Shaohua, Hongfang's reaction was like adding fuel to the fire, stirring out her jealousy from the bottom of her heart. For a while, she really hated Shaohua, obviously she had a husband and children, why could she still occupy another man's heart, and even let her see her everywhere.

He Shaoqing doesn't understand how deep Hongfang's feelings for Shaohua are, and she doesn't know what past they have, she is just unwilling, even a woman with the same figure as Shaohua can be favored by Hongfang, and as his wife, she has to pretend to be generous.

By the time she vented her grievances, Hongfang had already become angry and woke up the two of them with a slap. He Shaoqing found that she couldn't ignore Hongfang at all, and she couldn't be as tolerant and generous as she thought, almost every time Hongfang arrived, she dressed up carefully, just expecting him to have a compliment, and taking care of the concubine just hoped that she could see Hongfang more than one opportunity.

Before today, except for love, Hongfang gave her everything he could. His talent, his appearance, and his temperament have all been deeply imprinted in her heart at the same time as the red hijab was lifted. What He Shaoqing didn't dare to tell herself was that she actually liked him, but she was afraid of disappointment, so she tried to pretend not to care.

Bell wiped away her tears with her backhand, hurriedly found the ointment, and gently applied it to He Shaoqing's face, the hot feeling made her frown, and Bell asked nervously: "Master, did I hurt you?" ”

He Shaoqing saw her cry again in a blink of an eye, shook her head and said, "Don't cry, I said it's okay." This matter must be suppressed for me, and no one can spread it, otherwise they will be driven out of the palace. ”

Although the bell was unwilling, he had to nod his head and said distressedly: "Master, the prince treats you like this, why do you still protect him." ”

She didn't know if she was worried about being embarrassed or if she was afraid that someone would slander Hirokata's reputation, after all, it was extremely dishonorable to like a married woman.

He Shaoqing's expression suddenly became serious, and he said to the bell seriously: "Bell, you remember, the future master of this palace is the prince of the world, if he is told something outside, we will not get good." When she realized that she liked Hongfang, He Shaoqing immediately seemed to be a different person. Go and tell all the aunts that from tomorrow onwards, all of them will start to make rules. ”

If she said that she just wanted to calm things down, be a magnanimous main room, and spend the rest of her life in peace. But when she knows her feelings, she is no longer willing to just give in, she can't get her husband's heart, she at least has to pinch his people. There are so many rivals in love, she can't beat the main one, at least she can make Shaohua's shadow disappear in front of her eyes.

Far away in the Xingyong Marquis Mansion, Shaohua sneezed for no reason, Bidie hurriedly went to find the cloak, and Chu He poured a cup of hot tea over, "Madam, what's wrong, don't you feel cold, can't it be a cold?" "I looked back at the door, and there was not even a bit of wind.

Shaohua also felt inexplicable, held the teacup, smiled and said, "How can it be so easy to catch a cold, my body is very strong." "If it weren't for the fact that she was going to carry the dough, she would have wanted to sneak out for a run, and after staying at home for a long time, her body would be lazy." By the way, you just went to Xu Erlang to find the door, and then? ”

Chu He quickly recovered his tone just now, and continued the interrupted topic: "He said that he wanted to take Shui Ling back, so I told him that Madame had already let Shui Ling out of the house, and I don't know where she went." Chu He swallowed, with a strange expression on his face, "I saw that he was gray-headed, his clothes were torn, and he looked like he had been beaten, and I wanted to ask him what was going on, but he refused to answer." He also muttered in his mouth, why did he let go of the water spirit. I think it's strange, let's kindly let Shui Ling out, he is not happy, doesn't he say that he is interested in Shui Ling, why do you still want her to be a slave in the house. ”

Shaohua didn't know what was going on, and probably guessed that Shui Ling was either captured or abandoned Xu Zixiang and left. After Xu Xinru died, she asked her to tidy up her things, and found that a lot of jewelry was missing, thinking that it might have been taken away by Shui Ling.

"Madam, did you say that the princess came to you because of Pingzhou?" Chu He woke up Shaohua softly, "I heard that the princess's brother is also involved." ”

"What's my business, I can't help." Shaohua frowned. Theoretically, the power of the palace is greater than that of a Hou Mansion, and Yan Kaizhi did not participate in this incident because of his illness.

"Who doesn't know that our Hou Ye is a celebrity in front of Long Live Lord." Hatsuho pouted.

Shaohua glanced at her, "It's still a red person, as soon as King Doro died, he wanted to ask for his life to pick up Lanzhi and was scolded so much that he was bloody." Yan Kaizhi once told her that Hongyi patted his chest and promised to take Laneige back. Dora has a terrible custom that when a king dies, the harem is either martyred or married to the next king. Laneige, as a princess of harmony, should not be as good as a funeral, but marrying the future King of Doro is not necessarily a good thing, so Yan Kaizhi is anxious to take Laneige back.

However, there have been too many headaches for Hongyi recently, and it is not surprising that Yan Kaizhi will be scolded.
