Qing Fu Jin

Chapter 137 Starting from washing feet

Li Fangcao has been ill for three days. To be precise, she has been feeling uncomfortable since everyone rumored that Kangxi was going to point her out to a certain prince.

Of course, when her father Li Weizhen brought her to Beijing, she had already guessed his intentions, and she also knew what the result of her visit to Beijing this time would be.But she fell in love with Bo Zhe on the first day she came, thinking that she could get the best of both worlds, and approached him with a very optimistic attitude.

However, after first discovering Ling Bo's tough bone, seeing Bo Zhe's indifference and firmness, and then being tricked by Guo Jiashi, one after another pouring cold water over him, no matter how enthusiastic and motivated a person is, he has to be discouraged up.

At this time, tell her that not only will Kangxi not help her achieve good things, but she is going to point her to another man. After all, Li Fangcao is only a young girl, so many blows really make her feel distressed and helpless up.

She was not reconciled, unwilling to give in, she went from coquettish crying to harsh words with her father, and finally got to the point of hunger strike, Li Weizhen still did not let go.He just arranged many maids to wait on her, invited an imperial doctor to treat her, and sent guards to guard her strictly to prevent her from running out again.

Li Fangcao felt that she had really become a canary in prison.

After much deliberation, the only people she knew here were Bo Zhe, Ling Bo and Wu Zhu.Wu Zhu has always been at odds with her. Hearing that she is about to marry soon, she must be very happy. If she sees her, it will only set off her distress and bleakness; and Bo Zhe, her father will never let her meet him ;In the end, there was only one Lingbo left.

That's why she secretly asked someone to deliver a message to Bo Zhe, asking him to call Ling Bo into the palace to see her.

With Bo Zhe's instruction, Ling Bo really quickly arranged to enter the palace.

Outside Li Fangcao's residence, there were really many guards guarding them. When Ling Bo entered with the embroidered books, everyone paid attention to them. Although it was not rude, it still made them feel uncomfortable.

When I entered the house, there was no one there, and the tea on the table was cold without any heat.

The master and the servant looked around, only to find that under the window sill over there, there was a person half lying sideways on the beauty couch with his back to the door.

"Princess Fangcao?"

Ling Bo called out tentatively.

The man turned his head slowly, with a listless face.

Both Ling Bo and Xiu Shu had seen her before, and when they saw her, they couldn't help but look at each other.

The two walked over.

"You guys are here, I have scolded all the maids out, there is no one to serve you, you can sit down wherever you want, if you want tea and snacks, you can call someone yourself."

Li Fangcao's eyes were a little dull, and her lips were dry.

Xiushu moved an embroidered pier to sit on for Ling Bo, and whispered: "My servant asked someone to bring in hot tea and fruit."

She backed away lightly.

Ling Bo took a closer look at Li Fangcao's face, and it turned out to be sallow, dry and dull, with big dark circles under the eyes, dry and white lips, haggard all over her hair, not like her usual energetic appearance.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Why did you make yourself like this? Bozhe said you haven't eaten for two days?"

Li Fangcao touched the braids hanging on her chest, her hair seemed a little dry, she smiled wryly, "I'm in a bad mood, I can't eat anything. I'm so happy that you can come to see me. I didn't expect that I would be here Only you as a friend."

Ling Bo sighed slightly.

"If you really don't want to marry, why didn't you tell your father?"

Li Fangcao said indifferently: "He only told me to think about An Nanguo, but he never thought about me."

Ling Bo remained silent. As a princess, her marriage is destined not to be a personal act.

"Then, are you letting the situation develop, or are you thinking of something? I see that you are now on a hunger strike with King Annan?"

Ling Bo was very worried.

Li Fangcao shook her head, said with lowered eyelids, "Actually, I have known for a long time that getting married is not something that I can decide on my own. I have known since my father brought me to Beijing."

"Then why are you still..."

"But!" She raised her head and interrupted Ling Bo's words, her eyes sparkled, "But I always think that maybe things will turn around, maybe the emperor of the Qing Dynasty will not necessarily agree to my father."

Ling Bo's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt that Li Fangcao was not as simple and reckless as he appeared on the surface.

"Especially when I saw Bo Zhe on the first day I came to Beijing, he looked like a proud hero. I thought, since he is also a son of your clan, he also meets the requirements for a son-in-law in my father's mind, and I And I like him so much, my father has spoiled me since I was a child, he will definitely fulfill my wish."

"It's a pity..." Her voice weakened again, "It's a pity that Bo Zhe is not the prince. It would be great if he was the prince."

Ling Bo was speechless for a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Advise her to recognize reality and succumb to political marriage?Or advise her to fight against the coercive evil forces to the end for true love and freedom?
The former is too cruel, the latter is too brainless.

Fortunately, at this time, Xiushu came in with hot tea and snacks.

"The servant brought some delicious snacks, let Shaofujin and the princess eat some."

Ling Bo nodded slightly at her, and persuaded Li Fangcao: "No matter what, you shouldn't spoil your body. Whether you accept your fate or resist, you must give yourself strength to deal with it."

She poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over, "Come on, drink some water first, your lips are already dry."

Li Fangcao sat up cross-legged, holding the teacup in her hand.

Looking at her sitting posture and demeanor, Ling Bo felt that she might not be in extreme pain as he imagined.This little girl has just experienced a failed love, and she will be forced to marry someone she doesn't like, so she has a strong psychological resistance.

"Actually, my marriage with Bo Zhe was also very bad at the beginning."

She said something suddenly, Li Fangcao looked at her a little puzzled.

"You definitely don't know that Bozhe was not my husband, but another woman, you know that person, Wuzhu."

kindness?
Li Fangcao really became interested in listening.

"What? You also snatched Bozhe from Wuzhu?"

Ling Bo coughed lightly, what is "also".

"Originally, Bo Zhe was the emperor's concubine to Wuzhu. At that time, I was still a humble concubine in my family. Because of some family conflicts, I was sent to the palace to be a court lady, and by accident, I became Princess Wuzhu's trial marriage. Grid..."

"What is Trial Marriage Gege?" Li Fangcao suddenly interrupted her.

Ling Bo was a little embarrassed.

The embroidered book was also quite speechless, so she leaned over to Li Fangcao's ear and explained.

Li Fangcao was surprised and said: "It's really strange that you have such rules, how can you make the maids hum..."

The embroidered book covered her mouth and said softly: "Princess, this is not the point of our master's words."

Ling Bo also looked at her unkindly.

"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore, you continue to talk, how did you snatch Bozhe?"

She already believed that Ling Bo had "robbed" Bo Zhe from Wu Zhu, and this act of "robbing" was just like her, which gave her a great sense of recognition.She didn't even realize it, because she was interested in this story, her attention had been diverted, and her mood was inexplicably more relaxed than before.

"At that time, I was drugged into a coma and sent to Prince Jane's mansion. The first time I saw Bo Zhe, he thought I was an ordinary trial marriage princess. However, although I was a court lady, I still had self-esteem and pride. Since I was forced Yes, of course such humiliation cannot be accepted. As you can see, Bozhe is a hero, he will not do things that force women."

"Oh, let me just say, he will definitely not abide by your strange rules, isn't it harmful." Li Fangcao praised Bo Zhe's "reining in the precipice".

"And then?"

"And then, he just made me do one thing."

"what's up?"

"Wash his feet."

"..."

"Our story begins with foot washing."

Ling Bo also seemed to be brought back memories. He and Bo Zhe started as a farce, progressed all the way, and then got married naturally, recalling bit by bit, stating sentence by sentence, the love process. This kind of sweetness seemed to return to her bit by bit.

Li Fangcao was very excited when she heard that, it turned out that Wu Zhu had a life-and-death duel with Ling Bo for Bo Zhe; it turned out that the third elder brother also pursued Ling Bo, but Ling Bo flatly rejected him.

She is from Annan, and she is used to being wild. When she arrived in Beijing, she felt the ubiquitous rules inside and outside the palace. This kind of restraint put her under a lot of pressure, so she ran out wholeheartedly, even for Bozhe. Chase to Songshan.

But at this time, she had already forgotten that Bo Zhe was the one she wanted to pursue. She heard that Ling Bo and Bo Zhe had done so many things that broke the rules, and even had a tryst in the middle of the night and was caught by the elders. She thought it was amazing.

In fact, when the situation happened, Ling Bo was very ashamed and embarrassed, but looking back now, he also admired himself, how dare he do such a bold thing in this era and society.

She started from washing her feet, and continued to talk about marrying Bo Zhe for an entire hour. When she finished talking, her mouth was really dry.

Xiushu hurriedly poured hot tea and handed it to her.

Li Fangcao sighed: "Bo Zhe is really amazing, for you, he even dared to beat the prince."

Ling Bo moistened his throat and said with a smile: "Yeah, you see, in fact, our marriage was very bad at the beginning, and it was not what we wanted. Both of us were forced, but later we achieved a very good result." As a result, things in life are often unpredictable, just like our old saying goes, good luck is followed by misfortune, and misfortune is followed by good fortune. You may feel very disgusted with marrying the prince now, but the princes are all excellent Yes, or you will fall in love with your future husband."

"Really?" Li Fangcao was dubious.

Ling Bo said with a little finger: "There is a sentence, you guessed the beginning right, but you may not guess the end right."
