When
my dog Chunchun was waiting for delivery, her husband Dongdong moved on and fell in love with another dog.
Dongdong is the dog of Shoufu’s family.
The first auxiliary adult Chu Qi protects the short, does not admit that Dongdong has the fault at all.
Dongdong felt guilty and hid behind Chu Qi, not daring to show his head.
I dare not rob the dog with Chu Qi.
But I am so angry that I want to teach Dongdong a lesson for my Chunchun.
Finally, when Chu Qi took Dongdong out, I followed him. Holding a long knife, I shouted to Dongdong, the dog behind Wang Yeh, “You are a male dog who has been abandoned all the time. I’m going to castrate you!”
Dongdong was scared away. I stepped on a melon skin and fell down while running, pressing Chu Qi under my body.
As a result, it spread in the capital that
the first assistant Chu Qi abandoned Zhou Luan, the first daughter of the Shangshu family, and was chased by Zhou Luan in the street, calling him a male dog!
I What I
chase is a dog, what I scold is a dog, why doesn’t anyone believe me? Chu Ge Lao, who had
left the court to visit the mountains and rivers, rushed back to the capital overnight and came to my house with Chu Qi’s ear to apologize. Old
Chu Ge took my father by the hand and said earnestly, “I came here in a hurry today. The betrothal gift will be delivered to your house tomorrow. Please rest assured. If you dare not marry Chou Luan, I’ll break his leg!”
“No, no, no. Lord Chu really doesn’t need to marry me.”
Chu Ge Lao turned his head and called Chu Qi a slap, that strength, I all for Chu Qi pain panic. Son of a bitch
, you see how good a girl Chou Luan is. If she hadn’t been forced by you, would she have chased you in the street with a knife? What are you waiting for! Get down on your knees!
Chu Qi knelt on his knees with a splash. “I was wrong. I won’t dare any more.” Old
Chu turned to us with a smile and said, “The dog promises to treat Chou Luan like a pearl and a treasure after marriage, and never let Chou Luan suffer any grievance.”
I called Chu Chi to the backyard. “Why don’t you explain it to the elder?”
I explained, but he didn’t believe me. You see..
He pulled back his collar to reveal a chest covered with welts.
My God, I couldn’t bear to look at him again. I pulled up his collar with guilt. “I’m sorry..”
I sighed that I was no better than him.
Mother asked me when I fell in love with Chu Qi, the year before last at the old birthday banquet, or last year on the Lantern Festival.
I said, “No, it’s never been better.”
Mother: “It’s no use being angry with a man. Holding his heart is the right thing to do.”
I didn’t want to scratch his heart, I just wanted to scratch his dog!
I was speechless and choked, and my mouth was full of words. People who eat melons in
this world are too crazy. If a man and a woman have something to do with each other, people are only willing to believe that there is something fishy about them and never believe that they are innocent.
I was thinking about how to return the marriage, and the emperor summoned me to the palace.
The Chamberlain led me into the main hall. When I entered, I saw the emperor standing in the hall and Chu Qi standing opposite him. When
the emperor saw me come in, his eyes were kind. “How did Chu Aiqing bully you?”
I glanced at Chu Qi next to me and waved my hand. “No, no, Lord Chu is very good. He didn’t bully my daughter.”
The emperor laughed and pointed at Chu Qi, saying, “I will make the decision for you. Just tell the truth. Don’t be afraid of him.”
I’m not afraid of him.
I frowned and said, “Lord Chu really didn’t bully me..” “Look at Chu Aiqing,”
the emperor exhorted. “Chou Luan defends you everywhere. How can you have the heart to be sorry for her?”
No wonder Chu Aiqing has repeatedly refused my permission to marry Xiyue for you. It turns out that she has already had an affair with the Chou family’s first daughter. All right, then I’ll tell you two to get married, and I won’t have the queen whispering in my ear every day.
Don’t bring such a mess of Mandarin duck spectrum, the emperor, you have a good memorial to the throne, what melon to eat!
I motioned to Chu Qi with my eyes to refuse the emperor. Chu Qi seemed to be suffering from blindness and turned a blind eye to my crazy blinking.
Chu Qi shuts his sleeves and kneels. “I thank Lord Long for his kindness.”
He reached out and pulled the corner of my clothes, and I knelt down after him.
I was about to open my mouth when Chu Qi covered my mouth.
The emperor laughed. “What does Chou Luan have to say?”
Chu Qi said, “She asked me to ask you for more rewards. I am deeply indebted to the emperor. I must not have such thoughts.”
Chu Qi turned to me and said, “What do you want? The white jade Goddess of Mercy is a tribute from the Kingdom of Sheng. How can I give it to you?”
I opened my eyes wide, this Chu Qi is talking nonsense!
The emperor laughed and said, “Ha ha..” When the
emperor had finished laughing, he said generously, “It’s just a white jade Avalokitesvara. It’s a big deal. I’ll give you a reward. Tomorrow I’ll send it to the Chou Mansion together with the marriage edict.”
I’m ***ing..
I was dragged out of the palace by Chu Qilian.
At the gate of the palace, he released me. “Why did you say that to the emperor?”
I cried.
He straightened up with an inscrutable look. “I just saved your family.”
“You don’t understand the Sacred Heart. The emperor didn’t approve of my marriage to the Lord of Hsiyue County. After all, Hsiyue is the queen’s sister. If she marries me, the queen’s family will be even more powerful, which is not good for the emperor to balance the situation in the court.”
He has made up his mind to marry you and me, and if you refuse it to your face, the emperor will be very unhappy. Keeping company with you is like keeping company with a tiger. Compared to my ability to read words and expressions, you’re still young!
I looked back at the palace gate with a lingering fear.
Chu Qi can be the first assistant, must be good at trying to figure out the holy meaning.
I was fooled by him.
I sighed. “We can’t do anything about this, don’t you understand?”
He nodded. “Yes.”
“Don’t worry, when you get married, you can just go to the house and take in someone, and Luan Er won’t tell anyone.”
Chu Chi’s face grew cold. “In your eyes, is this officer so addicted to women?”
I think of him everywhere. Why is he still angry?
It’s not married yet? And you threw a face at me?
Think of the whip marks on his body, forget it, who told me to hurt him? It is understandable that he is in a bad mood
if he is not upset by this kind of thing. The wedding of Chu Qi and
I caused a sensation in half of the capital, and everyone wanted to see what I looked like, the daughter of a minister who was going to castrate her lover with a machete.
I lifted the curtain of the bridal sedan chair and looked out. Both sides of the official road were crowded with people.
A father said to his son, “When you grow up and look for a wife, you can’t look for such a tough one. You won’t even know when your destiny is gone.”. Chu Shou-fu is miserable, and he is sure to be a hen-pecked husband after marriage. “The bride is as beautiful as a fairy,” said the yellow-mouthed child, who
was gnawing at the ice-sugar gourds. “How can she be the cause of human life? Father, you can talk nonsense.” “What Dad saw with his own eyes, how could it be fake?”
…… I haven’t worshipped
yet, and I have become a shrew in people’s mouth. Alas, I was badly hurt by Dongdong’s dog. After
entering the ancestral temple, worshipping the high hall, thanking heaven and earth, and a set of tedious procedures, my legs are numb. After entering the bridal chamber, I lifted the veil and lay on the bed, looking at the festive red, red candles flickering, like a beautiful scene.
I closed my eyes to rest, heard the sound of footsteps suddenly sat up, the door opened, Chu Qi came in, a wedding robe to dilute the majesty and cold in his eyes, it seems that he is warm and dignified.
I put the hijab back on my head and sat upright. His
long fingers lifted the veil, and his eyebrows and eyes curved. “Tired?”
I nodded and looked around. “How are we going to sleep tonight?”
I mean, just a bed.
He reached for my arm. “Get up.” I
don’t know why I was pulled aside by him and saw him bending over the head of the bed for a while.
I didn’t see what mechanism he had touched. One bed stretched out into two beds, and there was a fence between them.
“How about having it made to order at the Lingyun Pavilion, an institution family?”
I held out my thumb and said, “Awesome!”
Chu Qi is really thoughtful.
I happily slept on the bed near the inside.
The next morning, I woke up from Chu Qi’s arms, and his middle clothes were soaked with saliva.
I sat up. “Why did I come outside?”
Chu Chi stretches. “You can turn over such a tall fence. Were you born in the year of the monkey?”
I
I married to Chu House and took Chunchun and her litter with me. Dongdong hugged her left and right. It turned out that she was the biggest winner!
My father-in-law Chu Ge went to travel again on the second day after I got married with Chu Qi. Chu Qi’s mother died early, and Chu Qi was an only child. There was no such messy relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law or sister-in-law in the Chu family.
I walk the dog and sing songs every day, and the days are similar to those at my mother’s home. On the night of
the Mid-Autumn Festival, all the people in your house enjoy the moon and eat moon cakes together. “Would you like to sing a song, madam?” Said
Chu Chi. How does
he know I love to sing?
I am tone-deaf, but I am addicted to singing. Every time I sing, I go to the woods in the suburbs where there is no one. Just
sing. Anyway, they are all from the mansion.
“Then my concubine made a fool of herself.”
He chimed in with me on the piano.
I sang a cheerful tune, and every sentence was out of tune, but I sang happily.
The maids raised their arms and shouted, “Well done, well done!”
I raised my hand and said, “Let’s sing together!” Huan-erh,
my maidservant, hummed along with me, and the others, who were eager to try, began to sing along.
I sang and danced, and had a lot of fun until late at night, when the crowd dispersed.
Chu Qi Xiu Mu, we took gifts back to my mother’s home to visit relatives. On the way, we met Li Bing of the Hanlin Academy next to Chu Mansion.
Last night I faintly heard the music of an adult. I’ve been a classmate of an adult for many years, and the music of an adult is a must. I haven’t heard an adult play the piano for many years. Yesterday I wanted to go into the mansion to listen to it, but a group of people were crying and howling, and I was scared out of my wits? The sound of your piano is mixed up in the noise, and I can’t hear it clearly. It really makes me very angry!
I blushed, what a howl, this Lord Li is too exaggerated, right? Is
my singing so bad? Compared
with Chu Qi’s piano sound, it really spoils his piano skills.
Li Bing went on to say, “During the Mid-Autumn Festival, most of the big families in the capital invite opera troupes to sing, or let the singing girls and dancers raised in the house sing and dance. Only the Chu family is noisy. I said, My Lord, why didn’t you watch the moon and listen to the opera last night?”.
Chu Qi glanced back at me and said with a smile, “You don’t understand the happiness of this officer.”
“What is the happiness of an adult?”
Chu Qi glanced at me again. “The harp and the harp are singing in harmony.”
Li Bing now understood, and his eyes wandered around Chu Qi and me, smiling stiffly at the corners of his mouth. “He, too much..”
I went to burn incense in the temple and met a half-dead scholar at the foot of the mountain. The scholar broke his leg. In the
spring of next year, many students will go to Beijing early to catch up with the examination. This scholar is white and clean. He has not eaten for a long time, and he has no breath.
I asked someone to carry the scholar back to Chu Mansion and asked the herbalist to come and see. When
the scholar woke up, he told me that his name was Wen Xi. He was running out of money in the capital. He picked roadside fruits to satisfy his hunger. The servant who looked after the orchard broke his leg with a stick. He fainted on the roadside.
The servant was probably afraid of a human life lawsuit, so he dragged the man to the foot of the mountain and left him alone.
Wen Xi’s body is weak, although temporarily saved life, still need to drink medicine to recuperate.
I asked Chu Qi if I could let Wen Xi stay in the Chu Mansion.
Chu Qi said that it was up to me to decide everything at home, so I decided to put Wen Xi in the side courtyard and ordered the young fellow to take good care of Wen Childe.
I often go to see Wen Xi. Although he is thin, his face is beautiful and his temperament is elegant. Because of my timely treatment, his legs are not disabled, but he is still inconvenient to walk.
Wen Xi comes from the south of the Yangtze River. There are many melodious songs in the south. Wen Xi knows a few folk ditties. I asked Wen Xi to sing them to me.
His voice is clear and pure, and his gentle and delicate singing is like a spring, which makes people forget themselves.
Wen Xi taught me to sing sentence by sentence. The warm light came in from the window in the afternoon, and the green bricks reflected a piece of light and shadow.
I stepped on the broken steps in the light and shadow, pinched the orchid fingers, and sang the soft language of Wu Nong in the south of the Yangtze River.
The door was open, and when Chu Qi came in, I didn’t notice it, and I was still practicing my figure.
“Cough..”
Chu Qiqing coughed twice, which startled me, and I fell to one side with my tiptoe and unstable body.
Chu Qi quickly stepped forward and embraced my waist.
When I stood firm, Chu Qi slowly pulled back his hand.
Wen Xi stood up and saluted. “Lord Chu.”
Chu Qi looked pale, with a faint sense of tiredness between his eyebrows, and his eyes seemed to be black and blue.
He looked at Wen Xi and said, “There’s no need for Mr. Wen to be too polite.”
In the middle of winter, the cabinet had a lot of things to do. The emperor left Chu Qi in the palace. I haven’t seen Chu Qi back for many days.
Chu Qi looked at me and said in a soft voice, “I brought some strange things from the palace for my husband. Madam, go and have a look. Do you like anything?”
I was in high spirits, and my voice rose. “Where?”? Take me there quickly.
I followed Chu Qi outside the door with my skirt.
When I got to the front hall, I saw my father standing in the middle with his hands on his back. Together with Chu Qi,
he has been working day and night in the palace recently, and his white hair has increased.
I ran up to my father and said sadly, “Dad is exhausted. His eye sockets are sunken.”
My father patted me on the shoulder and said in all earnestness, “When it comes to tiredness, the son-in-law is really tired. As a wife, you haven’t been to the palace to see your son-in-law for ten days and a half months. The emperor suspects that you two have a bad relationship.”. I came to see, you and your son-in-law? Did you quarrel?
I turned my head and looked at Chu Qi. I took two steps back and hugged his arm. The bird leaned into his arms like a man. “Dad worries too much. Our relationship is very good.”? I’m afraid of disturbing my husband’s work.
My father still looked at us doubtfully. I threw caution to the wind. I whispered in Chu Qi’s ear, “Act, understand..”
I put my foot on Chu Qi’s cheek and kissed her with tears in my eyes. I haven’t seen my husband for a long time. I miss you so much. Are you tired? There’s bird’s nest porridge in the kitchen, and I’m going to bring it.. Just as
I was about to turn around, Chu Chi stretched out his long arm and hugged my waist. “It doesn’t matter whether I eat the bird’s nest or not. When I see Luan Er, I’m satisfied.”
His deep eyes fixed on me and disturbed my mood.
Dad finally smiled and stroked his beard. “Dad will go first.”. My son-in-law is taking a rest these two days. Luan’er, please accompany your son-in-law. After
Dad left, I apologetically wiped the lipstick on Chu Qi’s cheek with my handkerchief. “I’m sorry..”
His eyes, which had been bright just now, had cooled down. “It doesn’t matter.”
Chu Qi Xiu Mu two days not in the house, do not know where to go wild, came back with a young woman.
As the mother of the house, I naturally want to settle Chu Qi’s first woman.
I warmly took the girl’s hand and asked her to move her things into Chu Qi’s room.
Chu Qi was noncommittal, and the light in his eyes moved darkly. He hesitated for a moment. “I’ll go to the palace right away, and Miss Lilac will ask her wife to take care of her. She’s not very healthy..”
I patted my chest and said, “Don’t worry, my husband. I promise to raise her to be white and fat, so that she can have a good life.”
Chu Qi’s eyes gave a “hum” without any waves.
The lilac girl is about the same age as me. She has bright eyes and white teeth. Her nose is tall and straight. She often smiles. She is very pleasant. The most pleasant thing is that she can also sing.
Anyway, Chu Qi was not in the house, so I let her live in the same room with me. The two women hung their voices when they were free. I moved Chu Qi’s piano out of the warehouse and put it in my room. I asked Wen Xi to play the piano to accompany us. I had a very happy life.
A few days later, Chu Qi went back to Chu Fu.
He came to my room before he had changed his official clothes. I used to stand up to meet him, but he walked over me to the lilac and said softly, “Didn’t you say you liked luminous pearls last time? The emperor just rewarded me with one and gave it to you.”
Chu Qi took out a red sandalwood box from his long sleeve. Lilac opened it with a smile and said, “Thank you, Lord.”
Chu Qi smiled more and more deeply, and walked out of my room side by side with Lilac, two people completely ignored my existence.
At that moment, I felt very uncomfortable.
On weekdays, Chu Qi came back with gifts for me, whether they were objects in the palace or gadgets bought on the street, but now he only had cloves in his eyes.
I thought our marriage was a play, and I wouldn’t care about it.
A few days ago, when Lilac came in, I didn’t feel anything, but when I saw them loving each other with my own eyes, a faint unhappiness still lurked in my heart.
Lilac went into Chu Qi’s room and didn’t come out for a long time. I ran to the backyard to feed the dog with the sadness in my heart.
Chunchun ran over to rub my leg, and I squatted down and touched its head.
Dongdong also came over to be intimate with me, but I pushed him away in disgust. I began to dislike Dongdong because of Chu Qi. Had it not been for his love for someone else, I would not have chased the dog in the street, and there would not have been a series of things behind.
The dog is spiritual. Dongdong seemed to feel my hostility. He gave a cry of grievance and lowered his head.
Chunchun could not bear to see Dongdong being wronged, so he ran over to comfort him.
I laughed at myself and curled my lips. What’s wrong with me? Why are you angry with the dog?
It’s just a luminous pearl. I can afford it. I’ll buy it myself.
I kicked the silver ticket to the jewelry shop on the street and picked out a big and round luminous pearl. Before the
luminous pearl was hot, I saw Chu Qi and Lilac in the street. Lilac followed Chu Qi with a blush of happiness on his face. Chu Qi stood in the pastry shop and bought a piece of osmanthus cake.
He opened the white cake in the middle of the yellow oil paper and turned to hand it to the clove.
I hid on the street corner and waited for them to leave. I went to the pastry shop and bought a big bag of osmanthus cakes to take home.
Feed the dog!
Chu Qi stayed at home for a day and then lived in the palace again. He didn’t say hello to me as usual before he left. Do you still have my wife
in your eyes?
I crumbled a piece of sweet osmanthus cake.
I didn’t take my anger out on Lilac. Women don’t embarrass women. Besides, she’s just a miserable person.
It’s just that I don’t have Lilac in my room anymore.
I didn’t expect that there would be trouble. I didn’t see Wen Xi and Lilac
that day. I basked in the sun with my dogs in the backyard.
Dongdong went out for a walk and came back to bite the corner of my clothes and motioned me to go with it. Although
this guy is a playboy, he is really a good dog to guard the house, and his vigilance is extremely high.
I followed Dongdong to see what suspicious person he found. Although
the Chu family mansion is not luxurious, it is quite large, surrounded by brocade and bamboo, small bridges and flowing water, elegant and quiet, and unique. There is a group of rockeries at the end of the
flowing water, which is very remote and few people go there on weekdays.
Dongdong took me to the front of the rockery. From the back of the rockery came the sound of ringing. I crept close to the mountain. When I saw the overlapping men and women in the small cave, my blood surged and my feet were unstable. I fell into the frozen stream and broke the ice.
The stream was shallow, ankle-deep, and bitterly cold. On
a cold day, two people are having an affair here, and they don’t feel cold.
Wen Xi saw me before I fell into the stream, and his flushed face turned pale in an instant.
Lilac crouched on Wen Xi and looked back when she heard me fall into the water.
I glanced at her figure, and she was really plump!
I did not live up to the promise with Chu Qi, really raised people white and fat.
But can this make up for the fault of letting Chu Qi wear a cuckold?
Unable.
Dongdong bit my trouser leg and pulled me to the shore, and I stepped on the shore.
After a while, the two men in the cave were already dressed.
Lilac knelt down in front of me with a splash. Her voice trembled and she cried, “Madam, spare my life. Lilac knows she’s wrong..”
Wen Xi’s complexion was complicated, and he lowered his head and dared not look at me.
My mind was in a mess. “You two think about how to deal with Lord Chu.”
I didn’t look back at them and walked back to the house with a heavy step. Huan-er,
my dowry maid, saw that my trouser legs were wet and hurried to bring hot water. While soaking my feet,
I rubbed my eyebrows. Big
head!
This Wen Xi was taken in by me. He slept with Chu Qi’s woman. I feel very sorry for Chu Qi.
The porter announced the return of Monseigneur.
I was so scared, “What should I do?”? What to do? Chu Chi is back!
Huan-erh brought a cloth to wipe her feet. “Why are you so scared, Miss?”? Those who don’t know think you’re stealing, and you’re afraid your son-in-law will find out.
Huan-erh didn’t know that I had discovered Wen Xi and Lilac.
I sighed faintly, “Oh, if it had been me, maybe Chu Qi wouldn’t have been angry.”
Anyway, Chu Qi and I are nominal, but Lilac is Chu Qi’s favorite woman in the heart! I
don’t know if Lilac is in Wenxi’s room at the moment, so I quickly changed into clean clothes and went to the front hall to drag Chu Qi.
Chu Qi wears an official robe, long and graceful, dignified and upright. The head of
the cabinet has always been decisive in killing those who betray him, and I believe he will not show mercy.
I took a breath, walked up to him, and saluted. “Husband.”
Chu Qi’s eyes were bright and he seemed to be in a good mood.
He lifted his robe and sat down, and immediately an attendant served tea. I took the cup halfway and personally cooled it and handed it to Chu Qi.
Chu Chi’s eyes flashed. He wasn’t used to my sudden attentions. He smiled faintly. “Madam, you’ve worked hard.”
I pulled the corners of my mouth with a guilty conscience. “That’s what I’m supposed to do.”
“What else does your excellency need to do?”
Chu Qi looked around. “Where are the lilacs?”
My heart is tight, these days can not let him see cloves, cloves on the body of the hickey, not three or five days can not disappear. My
mind whirled as I thought, “As soon as my husband comes back, I’ll look for Lilac. Where is my concubine?”
He was stunned. For a moment, he put down his cup, stood up and looked down at me.
I felt guilty again and my eyes sank. I straightened up. I couldn’t give the game away in front of him.
He narrowed his eyes and half-smiled. “Are you jealous, madam?”
I looked up. “Huh?”
Jealous? I
recalled that I had just covered for Lilac, and I was really jealous.
He said that if he was jealous, he would be jealous and get through it for the clove first. I
swallowed. I didn’t deny it.
He smiled in silence and encircled me in his arms. “Why is my husband wrong? Why should he spend more time with his wife?” My
body was stiff and I didn’t dare to move. I didn’t know where to put my hands. I carefully put my hands on his waist. “Shall we go out and play?”
“Good.”
Near the end of the year, the street is very lively, Chu Qi changed into regular clothes, holding my hand walking in the crowd, it is really like an ordinary couple. The dazzling array of goods
on the street attracted my attention, and I looked left and right, jumping for joy, forgetting the lilacs for a moment.
When I saw that there was a stall with rings, I bought ten rings, but none of them was set. I was a little unwilling.
Chu Qi smiled at the corners of his mouth and bought ten more circles from his boss.
He threw a circle out and caught a sculpture of Guanyin. He handed me the
remaining nine laps. There was a lot of noise in
the street, and he leaned into my ear and said, “Which one do you want?”? Come and teach you for your husband.
He stood behind me in a hugging position, holding my hand and teaching me to throw the hoop with controlled force.
His breath was so hot that it swirled around my ears, and I was so numb that I didn’t even see where the circle fell. There
was a round of applause, and I got a unique wooden box, which I had just used ten circles but failed to get. There were still eight circles in
his hand, and his long fingers were still holding my hand, the joints were prominent, and his beautiful wrists were exposed by the posture of stretching his arms, which attracted people’s imagination.
“Anything else you want?”
“No, no..”
“The rest of the circle?”
I looked left and right. Next to
me was a little boy of seven or eight who had been eyeing me greedily for a long time. I crouched down and handed the remaining eight circles to the little boy.
The boy’s eyes lit up. “Thank you, sister!”
I touched the boy’s head. “You’re welcome.” After
walking around for a while, it was time for dinner.
Chu Qi took me to a restaurant and ordered a table of dishes.
This is our first time to eat out.
The dishes were rich and full of color, flavor, and taste. I picked up a dish for Chu Qi and said, “Husband, eat more.”
Alas, to think of him is also poor, the color of his head has changed, and he knows nothing about it.
I said, “I want to go back to my mother’s home for one night. Can my husband accompany me?”
Chu Chi put down his chopsticks and said, “It’s a great honor.” I can only sleep in the same bed with Chu Qi
in my mother’s home, and the bed in my boudoir is just an ordinary bed, unlike the bed in Chu Qi and my new house.
Chu Qi and I covered two quilts. He slept peacefully and did not cross. In the middle of the night, I kicked the quilt and tucked it in the corner. He was more careful than maid beside me.
I thought to myself, this lilac really doesn’t know how lucky she is!
While Chu Qi went to court, I went back to Chu Mansion.
“Miss Lilac and Mr. Wen, you can’t stay in the Chu Mansion any longer. You can pack up and leave.”
Lilac frowned. “If I leave without permission, I’m afraid I’ll anger your excellency.” What
she said is what I’m worried about. With
tears in her eyes, she said, “Please do something to save me.”
I thought about it. “Just pack your bags and I’ll take care of the rest.” When
Chu Qi went to court, I went to meet him at the gate of the palace.
The vast expanse of snow is accompanied by the warm winter sun, and the people walking on the snow are as tall and straight as pine, with a smile on their faces. Several people in official clothes beside
him cast envious smiles, and Dad had a happy smile on his face.
They all thought I had come to pick up my husband from court, but in fact I was only gallant because I had something to do.
Chu Chi clasped my hand and exhaled, “Madam shouldn’t have gone out on such a cold day. Look, my hands are red with cold.”
His palms were dry and warm, his breath was hot and soft, and although I knew he was acting, my heart was still stirred.
He took me by the waist and got into the carriage. After the
carriage had gone for a while, I said, “My husband, I want the clove to leave.”
Chu Qi took off his cloak and put it on me. His voice was calm and restrained. “Why?”
“I don’t like her, and I want to get rid of her.”
Chu Chi was still rubbing his hands for me. “Didn’t Madame have no problem with Lilac?”
“I don’t like it now, can I?”
“What has she done to make her ladyship so angry?”
“She didn’t do anything wrong. I just don’t like her.”
“Madam is really jealous..”
I want to explain, the mind came up with cloves eager to look forward to the eyes, forget it, or wait for cloves to leave after explaining to him!
“If you say so, I don’t want to see her again anyway.”
Chu Chi pondered for a moment and then said, “All right, listen to your ladyship.”
On the same day, Ding Xiang and Wen Xi left Chu Mansion.
Chu Qi shut himself up in his room. When I went to see him, he was already drinking until his eyes were red. “It’s going to snow in the evening. Can you drink a cup?”? Would you like to have a drink with me, madam?
I looked at him like a very poor, very not easy to find a lover, was sent away by me, drink a cup of it! When I woke up, I was held tightly by
a broad chest, and my whole body was sore.
I collected myself, and the memory in my mind returned to the furnace.
Last night, Chu Qi drank to drown his sorrows. I accompanied him to drink. Later, we fell into the warm Furong tent. Does
he think I’m a lilac?
I quickly picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on my body.
Chu Chi opened his eyes and said, “Madam, are you awake?” My
throat was so dry that I couldn’t pronounce a complete syllable. “Last night, we..” You..
He sat up, with ambiguous red marks on his tight muscles and broad shoulders, presumably my masterpiece.
I looked away. “We agreed to get married before we got married. Why did you..”
Chu Chi put on his tunic and came over, holding my face in his hands. Before marriage, the saying was that we hadn’t fallen in love with each other yet. Since Madam was jealous of Lilac, naturally she loved me. Then what’s wrong with me making out with my wife? Where am
I jealous? I suffered a loss, and I lost a lot.
Wen Xi and clove have not gone far, I can not tell him the truth, can only eat this dumb loss, oh, my waist!
Chu Qi decided that I fell in love with him and slept with me every day. I went back to my mother’s home to hide from him.
Not hiding for a few days, to the Lunar New Year’s Eve, Dad sent me back to Chu Fu, said the first year of marriage must be with Chu Qi.
On New Year’s Eve, a banquet was held in the palace. As soon as I returned to Chu Mansion, I was picked up by the people from the palace. Sitting in the
main hall were the emperor, the empress Dowager, the empress, the concubines, the princesses, the princes, and some officials above the fourth grade. For the first time,
I came to the banquet as the first assistant’s wife, and the Chamberlain arranged for me to sit beside Chu Qi.
Since the last time I was honest with him, I felt a little uncomfortable seeing him again. Instead,
he grinned and grabbed my hand and rubbed it. In full view of the
crowd, I couldn’t pull my hand back and let him knead my palm.
The queen’s sister Xiyue County Lord was dancing, but in the magnificent palace, the skirts of the Iraqi people were flying, like startled swans, spinning and dancing, as light as swallows, and the long sound of the piano was extending at her feet.
She looked like spring water and looked at Chu Qi.
Chu Qi avoided her sight and looked down at me.
Xiyue County Lord’s eyes became sad, revealing his sad and moving feelings for his lover. I
really feel sorry for you.
I subconsciously shook Chu Qi’s hand back.
Anyway, I am still Chu Qi’s wife, in front of everyone, Xiyue County Lord, do you still want this face? At the end of the
dance, Yingying, the Lord of Xiyue County, knelt down to worship the emperor.
The emperor rewarded her, and after thanking the Lord for his kindness, she raised her eyes and said, “I’ve heard that Lady Chu can sing. Why don’t you let her wish her happiness?”
The emperor narrowed his eyes? Chu Aiqing was very good at playing the piano, and she married a lady who could sing, which was a good match. Chu ai-ching, how about letting your wife sing a song?
I stood up blankly, stirred my handkerchief in a panic, and looked sideways at Chu Qi.
I have self-knowledge, at home casually sing a song, how dare I sing on such an occasion?
Chu Qi shook my hand and said softly, “Don’t be afraid. Sing the folk tune Wen Xi taught you. I’ll dub it for you.”
The palace people moved the harp, and Chu Qi pulled me to the middle of the hall.
That tune is popular among the people. The tune is simple and catchy. I don’t sing well, but it’s still in tune. With the melodious sound of Chu Qi’s piano, the melody echoing in the hall is unexpectedly harmonious and pleasant.
The emperor was used to listening to the music composed by the masters in the palace, and when he happened to listen to the folk ditties, he felt strange and listened attentively.
An official from the south listened to the familiar tune and unconsciously beat to it. A certain official, who was drunk, even left two lines of muddy tears: “I haven’t heard this song for many years. It sounds good, it sounds very good..” The scene that the Lord
of Xiyue County expected me to lose face did not appear, and her eyes were dark and cruel.
At night, the emperor asked me to stay with Chu Qi in the palace, and inevitably, I slept in the same bed with him.
Chu Qi drank some wine, with black eyes like water and long eyelashes like wings.
I grabbed my collar and hid in the corner of the bed. “Chu Qi, you can’t take advantage of me again tonight.”
Chu Qi took off his boots and went up to the couch. “Don’t you even call your husband?”
I pursed my lips. “I’m not a lilac..”
He leaned close to me and said in a hoarse voice, “I’ve never treated you like a lilac, Chou Luan. Look me in the eye. I love you. It’s always been you.”
I have nothing to do with Ding Xiang. Ding Xiang is an actor I sent to the south of the Yangtze River to pick up. She once had a love affair with Wen Xi, but because of her identity as an actor, she couldn’t live with Wen Xi. I was acting with her for you to see. I know that you secretly went to buy luminous pearls and sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. It was because I saw your jealous behavior that I decided that you were in love with me.
My behavior is not open and aboveboard, because I am afraid you will fall in love with Wen Xi, so I let clove into the house with Wen Xi to renew the relationship. Chou Luan, ever since you were 15 years old, I’ve had a crush on you, but I’ve been so busy with my official duties that I haven’t had time to cultivate a relationship with you.
“Because of the dog farce, we were married by the emperor by mistake. I thought that if you came to me, I would have more opportunities to contact you, so I pushed the boat to marry you.”
I admit that I was presumptuous that night. I apologize to you. I’m sorry. Don’t avoid me. I promise you I won’t touch you if you don’t agree.
His eyes were sincere, and I gradually relaxed my guard.
Hearing him say that he was just acting with Lilac, I had some secret joy in my heart.
I was fifteen years old. That was four years ago. Chu Qi liked me at that time!
My father and Lao Ge are old acquaintances. Chu Qi and I met occasionally on some occasions, but there was not much intersection. Chu Qi became famous when he was young. At the age of eight or nine, he went to the palace to accompany the prince. The number of times I saw Chu Qi could be counted on one’s fingers, and even did not say more than ten words together.
I asked in a low voice, “How did you like me?”? Four years ago, it didn’t seem like anything special had happened either.
“I don’t know. I used to just think you were cute. Four years ago, when I won the first prize in the autumn, my father-in-law took you to a banquet at the Chu Mansion. I found that you, who used to hold a puppy in your arms, seemed to be slim and graceful all of a sudden, and your every move caught my eyes.”
At that time, the court was in turmoil, and the emperor and my father had high hopes for me. After I became an official, I carried out a new policy, and I was on the cusp of the storm. I had no time for love, and I was even more afraid of implicating you, so I could only watch you silently. Now that the court is stable, even though I’m still very busy, I can always find time to accompany you. I’m afraid I’ve wronged you, but for the rest of my life I’ll do my best to protect you from the wind and rain and keep your nature.
The first time someone told me he liked me, I was so dull that I didn’t know what to do in response. After a while, I blurted out, “Oh, all the people who have come to my house to propose marriage over the years have been rejected by my father. Did you ask my father to do that?”.
“Although I am my father-in-law’s superior, I have never coerced my father-in-law. It is my father-in-law who feels that, compared to me, those who come to ask for marriage are all crooked and cracked.” “No wonder my parents agreed so readily,”
I muttered. “They all knew you coveted me, but I didn’t.”
Chu Chi giggled and rubbed his hands over my face. “Yes, I’ve been coveting you for a long time.”
I blushed and avoided him.
He laid out the bedding, smiled back in the candlelight, and said, “Go to sleep.”
I held the quilt and looked at Chu Qi’s side face under the candlelight, which was both sweet and unbelievable.
He always slept in a regular manner, with his hands on his chest, like a jade carving.
“Jade Carving” opened his mouth and said, “If you look at me again, I can’t guarantee that I can hold back.”
I was so frightened that I closed my eyes. On the third day of the
Lunar New Year, I slept until three in the morning. When I got up, Chu Qi’s entourage announced outside the door, “Your excellency is going out to socialize. Let the younger one tell you.”
To be an official is to have a lot of things to do, not to work hard, but to socialize, just like my father.
But like my mother, I’m not too clingy to men. They do their thing, and we have our fun.
Today, I made an appointment with my mother to listen to the opera. I dressed up. When I opened the door, Dongdong ran in quickly, biting my trouser leg and dragging it out. He was more anxious
than last time he found out that Wen Xi and Ding Xiang had an affair.
I followed Dongdong for half a block and came to the door of Cuizhen Building. During
the Chinese New Year, Cuizhen Building was overcrowded. The waiter didn’t notice me coming in. I followed Dongdong to the second floor. Dongdong stopped in front of a closed door and motioned me to go in. There were voices of men and women
inside, and I leaned over the door to listen.
Man: “I’m already married.”
Woman: When you were sick and unconscious in the palace, I took care of you all night. Where was your wife then? She doesn’t love you at all, so why are you so stubborn?
Man: “I’m here to thank the county magistrate for taking care of him. It’s just..”
I wanted to continue listening, but Dongdong couldn’t listen any more. It slammed into the door. In a moment, the door opened, and Chu Qi’s slightly surprised face appeared in front of me.
In fact, I have already judged who is inside by listening to the voice.
My line of sight crossed Chu Qi to look inside the door, and sure enough, I saw the Lord of Xiyue County.
I give a thumbs-up to Dongdong. A little expert in
catching adulterers! Reward you with big bones tonight.
Chu Chi looked rather uncomfortable. “What are you doing here?”
I hugged Chu Qi’s arm. Why didn’t my husband call me in the morning? I was tired last night, but I really wanted to go out with my husband!
As for how tired, I don’t have to say it clearly, I have to look at Xiyue County Lord. The bitter and jealous eyes
of Xiyue County Lord fell on me like a sharp knife.
I’m not afraid. On the way
back to the Chu Mansion, Chu Qi explained, “Today I had a small get-together with General Zhenyuan. He is my old friend and Xiyue’s elder brother. We haven’t seen each other for many years, so we had a few more drinks. While I was resting in the wing to relieve my hangover, Xiyue came..” In the narrow space of the
carriage, the smell of alcohol on his body was very strong, but there was no obvious smell of powder.
The first time, when there were no outsiders, I took the initiative to grab his hand and said, “Lord Hsiyue said you were ill when you were on duty in the palace, right?”
Chu Chi nodded. “Yes, I told my father-in-law not to tell you.”
I sniffed my sour nose. “At that time, I was taking care of Mr. Wen, wasn’t I?”
“Yes.”
My eyes were moist. “I will never let another woman have the chance to take care of you when you are sick.”
Chu Qi looked at me quietly, with flowing eyes and a glimmer of affection. “Luan Er..” You don’t have to. I didn’t marry you to be taken care of. As for the Lord of Xiyue County, because of the queen, it was easy for her to get in and out of the palace. That night I burned so much that I didn’t know anything about it, which gave her an opportunity to take advantage of it. In the future, I will be more on guard against her.
I leaned on his shoulder and said, “Husband and wife need to support each other. When you are sick, I should be with you. When I need you, you should be with me.”
He hugged me tightly. “What Luan Er means is that we are really husband and wife?”
I raised my face and kissed him on the chin. “We are husband and wife.”
Encouraged, his eyes darkened, and he bowed his head and kissed me, gently and warmly. At the end of
the first lunar month, Lilac wrote to say that she was pregnant and thanked me for helping them. She missed me very much and asked me if I was free to get together with them.
I took the tonic to Dingxiang and Wenxi’s residence on the outskirts of the city. When
they left Chu Mansion, I gave them enough to live until next year. Wen Xi was about to join Chunwei, but they didn’t leave the capital.
Lilac made a table of dishes to entertain me, and the three of us put Buddha in the Chu mansion to talk and laugh.
I threw a bone to Dongdong who was lying in the doorway. Dongdong smelled it, but instead of eating it, he stood up and barked, and even jumped on the table and harmed a table of dishes. The faces
of Lilac and Wenxi changed. There is poison in the
dish.
I glared at Lilac and Wen Xi, “You..” Ungrateful!
Lilac stood in tears behind Wen Xi, “I’m sorry, madam, if we don’t do this, they will kill us..”
When Lord Xiyue came in from the outside, she sneered, “How could Chu Qi like such a stupid woman like you?”
I whistled, and the dark guards hiding behind the house came up from all sides to control Xiyue and her men, as well as Lilac and Wenxi.
It was Chu Qi who taught me that the intention of harming people is not allowed, and the intention of preventing people is not allowed. Xiyue, who
was tied up, stared at me with frightened and vicious eyes.
I put the poisonous dish into Xiyue’s mouth and forced her to swallow it.
As for Ding Xiang and Wen Xi, it’s better to live together in prison.
That day, when I was returning to the Chu Mansion with the secret guards, I met Chu Qi on the way. He looked nervous, and when he saw me, he was angry and pitying me. “I wish I could tie you to my side, so that you wouldn’t run around, and your life would be almost lost!”
Think is really afraid, if not for the winter, even if there is a dark guard, I will be poisoned.
I hugged him and said coquettishly, “I won’t dare next time.”
Dongdong wagged his tail around us, and this time he made a great contribution and asked us for a reward!
Reward, should reward.
Come to think of it, the red line between Chu Qi and me is still led by it!
Later, I heard that Xiyue County Lord had been poisoned and forced several of her men to have sex with her. When her family found her, she was disheveled and dissolute. Many
local villagers heard the sound of the waves in the house and saw the owner of Xiyue County go out of the house with their own eyes. At the foot of
the son of heaven, the queen did not dare to kill, failed to block the rumors, spread to the ears of the emperor, the emperor took the title of the past month, even the queen was cold-shouldered.
