Prince Sui had fashionable beautiful sideburns, and when he was splashed with liquor, they immediately became flat, which was very funny!
Can Prince Sui allow people to pour wine on him? Seeing Miantang deliberately do it, his expression and tone of voice were even more irritating. Prince Sui suddenly reached out to push down Miantang, who was pregnant, using his own body to cover the scene. Didn’t she splash his face with wine? Just under the pretext that she knocked down the glass herself and slipped on the water on the ground!
But as soon as he raised his hand, there was a sharp pain in his wrist. It was someone who pinched his wrist.
Prince Sui suddenly turned around and saw Prince Huaiyang standing behind him with no expression on his face. The palm was as strong as a pair of pliers.
“Why is Prince Sui here and not drinking with the Duke of Qingguo, slipping into the crowd of women and chatting endlessly?” said Prince Huaiyang with a faint sneer on his lips.
Prince Sui dispersed the malice on his face and only smiled and said, “It’s just to say hello to your princess consort. Aren’t you too stingy, Prince Huaiyang?”
Prince Huaiyang smiled slightly, but his unreleased hand suddenly exerted itself. Prince Sui gave a muffled snort and his face turned purple and blue.
Seeing that Prince Sui was almost kneeling in pain, Prince Huaiyang said, “If you don’t mind, would you like me to chat with you for a while?”
Prince Sui was so sore that his veins were about to jump up, and he whispered, “Son of a turtle, is that all you have? If you have the ability, use more force!”
Prince Sui was deliberately provoking Prince Huaiyang. As long as this guy dares to crush the bones of his hand, he will make a big deal of it in the Qingguo Residence and drive this hick out of the capital!”
Miantang actually saw the provocative thoughts of Prince Sui. When men fight each other, sometimes they are not as good as three-year-olds!
She quickly smiled and said to Prince Huaiyang and Prince Sui, “Today is a great day for the relocation of the Duke of Qingguo. The two princes should not compete against each other. If you are willing to compete, then set a date to go to the martial arts arena to compete. When the time comes, it is agreed by both even if one party is beaten seriously, isn’t it?”
Prince Huaiyang naturally understood Miantang’s warning, which was to make him not fall victim to Prince Sui’s provocation.
So he slowly released his hand and smiled and asked Prince Sui, “Which day will we go for a walk in the martial arts field?”
In terms of martial arts alone, how can Prince Sui be the opponent of Prince Huaiyang, who was accustomed to fighting on the battlefield? Without saying a word, he glared at the handsome Prince Huaiyang with a smile like a banished fairy. When he turned his head and stared at Liu Miantang, he found that she was opening her palm to reveal a hairpin, and slowly reinserted it back into the bun behind her head.
It turned out that when he was unprepared, Miantang unexpectedly turned her hairpin upside down and hid it in her fingers. If Cui Xingzhou didn’t arrive in time just now, it would be said that the hairpin had stabbed the pig’s hoof and paw of Prince Sui.
Miantang has already thought about it. When the time comes, she will fall back and cries out to ask Prince Sui not to hurt her child. She will take preemptive action and see who will be the final winner!
Prince Sui also knew that if he pushed over just now, he would not be able to earn any advantage. He only sneered and said, “No wonder Prince Huaiyang is willing to marry a female bandit leader. Such a rude person who dares to pour wine on my face at a banquet like this can really roam the capital!”
In the opinion of Prince Sui, Cui Xingzhou should have known Liu Miantang’s identity. After all, he hid his identity and slept with Lu Wen in the North Street courtyard for so long, so naturally, he got to know her.
Although Liu Miantang was Lu Wen, she was assisting the current emperor in those days. Speaking at this time, it was not very threatening. He didn’t think much for a moment, so he angrily said it.
However, Liu Miantang’s heart shrank from hearing it. This son of a bitch actually knew her identity!
On second thought, it must be his adopted daughter Sun Yunniang who told him!
After Prince Sui finished speaking, he wiped his face with a brocade handkerchief and left angrily.
Prince Huaiyang listened to Prince Sui’s words and slowly turned his head to Miantang. Miantang’s heart was so flustered that she could bump into the wall, only blushing and saying, “He… Curses at me!”
Cui Xingzhou took her hand and said, “He cursed you as a female bandit. But you are not at a loss as you throw wine on him too. Don’t cry, otherwise, it won’t look good if your makeup ruin.”
Miantang felt that she had successfully fooled him, and her heart relaxed slowly.
However, she was feeling guilty and couldn’t help but ask in the end, “But what if the words he said are true, I’m really the female bandit leader… What should you do?”
Cui Xingzhou felt a bit funny and said, “Aren’t you look like a female bandit leader now too? Didn’t I also marry you? As long as it’s not the heinous villain like Lu Wen, I’ll charter a mountain to give you prestige in the future…”
What Cui Xingzhou said was naturally a joke, but unfortunately, Liu Miantang’s brain was buzzing a bit. During the rest of the banquet, she felt a little wilted, unable to even rouse herself at the sight of her favorite golden cookies. She only touched her stomach in a daze, and her eyes turned a bit red when she thought of secretly taking the child away from the royal residence and wandering around the world in the future.
After Prince Sui left, Cui Xingzhou had been standing by Miantang’s side, never leaving. Seeing her like this, he couldn’t help but reach out and touch her forehead. Feeling it wasn’t hot, he asked, “What’s the matter?”
Miantang slightly sniffed and wilted, saying, “I’m fine, I just ate a little too much, and I’m a bit sleepy.”
Cui Fu was sitting next to her sister-in-law, Liu Miantang when she heard her say this, she hurriedly said, “Why are you tolerating here when you’re sleepy? I ordered someone to arrange a bedroom for you. Take your servant girl and Servant Li to lie down and rest first, and then take the carriage back to the residence when you feel refreshed.”
So Cui Fu ordered the steward to lead the way and let Princess Consort Huaiyang take a nap in a secluded courtyard in her backyard.
As it was already the beginning of the banquet, and many of the arrangements had already been completed, Servant Li greeted Cui Fu and returned to serve her own princess consort.
Miantang wasn’t really sleepy. After lying down for a while and drinking some sweet tea, her previously gloomy mood dissipated somewhat.
She was not a person who was obsessed with everything, and since she had no solution at present, she simply just eat and drink like normal in the prince’s residence, and continue sleeping with the handsome prince. Anyway, Cui Xingzhou had severely deceived her before, and the way of a gentleman was to come and go.
However, Servant Li was not in a relaxed mood. After coming to Qingguo Residence for two days, she thoroughly knew how Cui Fu’s life had been, and couldn’t help but sigh with concern at Cui Fu.
Miantang calmed down and naturally noticed Servant Li’s discomfort, so she asked her what was wrong.
Mother Li whispered, “The eldest lady is living a hard life in Qingguo Residence…”
Liu Miantang thought for a moment and recalled seeing the situation of the Madam of the Duke’s Residence. That lady was the direct daughter of the capital aristocratic family Duangguo Residence, Gai-Shi. She was also considered to be married to a family in-match in that year.
However, the engagement of her son Guo Yi was set by the old Duke of Qing who rose after drinking with the old Prince Huaiyang and made a private engagement. The Lady of Qingguo did not know.
After knowing it, Madam Gai disliked the marriage from the bottom of her heart. Both the Duke of Duanguo and the Duke of Qingguo followed the path of civil officials, while the vassal kings with different surnames such as Prince Huaiyang were only weighed by the Imperial Court and entrusted with temporary important tasks, but their foundation could not be compared to their aristocratic families.
How long has it been since the Huaiyang Residence became the vassal king? Cui Fu was not brought up with the etiquette of a royal daughter. Madam Gai has always been used to being aloof and looking at this daughter-in-law, it’s hard to avoid being a bit picky.
Unfortunately, Cui Fu is not like Miantang, who was a cunning woman who was flexible, stretched, stared, and tell lies. Her temper has hardened a bit, making her increasingly incompatible with her mother-in-law.
When Cui Fu returned to her mother’s house to attend the ceremony for her younger brother, Madam Gai took the initiative and carried a concubine to her son Guo Yi, she was the daughter of a concubine of their state government and was also Guo Yi’s cousin.
After Cui Fu returned home, she found out that Madam Gai had carried such a concubine to her husband, and she wept bitterly. However, she had to make arrangements for the joy of moving to the new house, which made her feel much more depressed.
Miantang frowned upon hearing this and asked Servant Li, “Even in the home of a rural place, mother-in-law would be scolded for doing so. Why does Madam Gai act so arbitrarily and absurdly? Don’t the Duke of Qingguo stop her?”
Servant Li sighed, “I don’t know why, after the first lady married, she had the same difficulties as our Old Princess Consort. She only gave birth to Jin’er after so many years. Therefore, her mother-in-law also had an excuse to take people into the bed of the Duke of Qingguo, and this time the first lady really went off long enough. Madam Gai, on the pretext that the Duke didn’t have a considerate service around, carried Fang Guiqi into the family, which made sense. However, as a mother-in-law, she should inform her daughter-in-law first. But by picking a concubine without telling her daughter-in-law, if she encounters someone arrogant from the mother’s family, there will be a scene. Moreover, the Duke of Qingguo has always been obsessed with landscapes, calligraphy, and painting. Why would he care about things in the courtyard?”
Miantang felt ridiculous and raised her eyebrows and asked, “So Guo Yi agrees with his mother’s arrangements, and whoever she lets in will be accepted?”
Servant Li smiled and said, “His mother has spoken, he just has to accept. You thought the son of the world is just like the master in our residence? What’s more, that new concubine, Yu Rao, is seventeen years old and has perfect beauty. These days, the duke is resting in her room…”
Miantang’s heart was blocked by the sound, and she thought again that although her sister Cui Fu had been wearing heavy makeup on her face, she still couldn’t hide the haggard, red, and swollen corners of her eyes. Her heart immediately understood.
She and her sister are both pregnant now, and their hearts are drawn to each other. If Cui Xingzhou takes advantage of her pregnancy and holds a petite little cousin in her arms, it’s light to not use an eight-foot-long knife to chop them all.
Anyway, she couldn’t be like Cui fu, holding on to the appearance of a good wife and arranging for their family’s housewarming party!
Servant Li had originally told the truth, but unexpectedly, she made her princess consort feel unhappy and her face turned red with anger. She quickly patted her on the back and said, “My Lady, please calm down quickly. Why are you so angry? There are many things like this in deep houses and large courtyards. The Guo family has done this very well. However, the eldest lady also thought that it was a domestic disgrace and doesn’t want to be exposed. After a few private fights with the Duke of Qingguo, it ended with no results… Besides, our prince won’t be so outrageous! Please calm down quickly!”
Perhaps because of her pregnancy, Miantang’s mood fluctuated greatly. And in her opinion, since she married into the Cui family, then Cui Fu was also her sister.
Cui Fu was so rudely bullied by her husband’s family. Do they think that the Cui family in the State of Zhen are all dead?
