Concubine can't do it

Chapter 46

The people at the same table have their own topics to talk about, but Jun Qingchen and Hua Zhengxuan started to eat their own things after a quick conversation.

"agreed?"

"agreed."

The dishes are all high-quality, and the wine is fragrant but not strong. Although the meal is not interesting, it is fortunate that it did not hurt my stomach.After King Yun passed the time of being absent-minded, he went to talk to someone Yan, Master Jun, Huo Bao, and two generals respectively.But I didn't look for Jun Qingchen again.

And from the beginning to the end, he didn't say a word to Princess Chengxuan.

"Didn't your parents and your uncle have a good relationship when they were young? How did it become what it is today?" Hua Zhengmai couldn't help asking Jun Qingchen who sent her back when he left the banquet and went back to Xiangfang .

Jun Qingchen shook his head: "I don't know either. I also heard from others that they had a good relationship when they were young. It seems that they have been like this since I was born. The three of them wish they could die forever and never get in touch with each other. They won’t be together when there’s something important or when the emperor invites them to catch up on the old days. Even my sister’s and I’s birthdays are celebrated separately.”

Hua Zhengxuan was silent, thinking of the strange looks of those three people, he always felt that something happened.

But it's not her business.

He closed his eyes and shook his head. When he opened his eyes, he happened to see Yan who was following up with his wife in his arms.Someone from Yan saw the two of them walking side by side, and squinted his eyes and asked, "Excuse me?"

Jun Qingchen looked natural: "It's nothing. It just so happens that our carriage is on the way, so let's go together."

"Okay." After Yan promised, he looked at his wife who was nestled in his arms, and muttered as if he wanted to take a bite: "Don't drink too much, are you drunk again?"

The love and pampering in those eyes makes people envious.

Hua Zhengxuan sized him up and asked curiously, "How long have Mr. Yan and Mrs. Yan been married?"

Someone Yan raised his face and looked forward: "It's been eight years."

Eight years.

This number not only surprised Hua Zhengxuan, but also made Jun Qingchen raise his eyebrows: "Those two have a deep relationship. I heard that brother Yan only has one wife and no concubines."

Someone Yan smiled heartily, and suddenly said in a low voice: "She deserves it."

Because it's worth it, I don't mind paying more.

I don't mind getting less because it's worth it.

Because she is worth everything, so he is satisfied and knows how to be content, and that's enough.

Jun Qingchen was almost blinded by the man's happy appearance, suddenly became a little unhappy, and grabbed Hua Zhengxuan's wrist.

"Sir?"

"Call me Qingchen."

"... Qingchen?"

"You are so good. I am in a good mood. I will reward you once and carry you to the carriage."

"..."

Obviously looks very bad mood ah!Want to carry her by force?Hua Zhengxie touched his full stomach, thinking that Jun Qingchen's mood would be even worse after carrying her on his back, right?
But being carried on his back by him, her inexplicable feeling of wanting to complain about him disappeared inexplicably.Just like when he hugged her that day, even more at ease than that day, she couldn't help but put her face on her back, close her eyes and take a nap.

Obviously her shoulders are not thick, and the movement of carrying people on her back is also very stiff and unfamiliar. She almost fell off several times, but for some reason along the way, she just couldn't stop being more and more happy.

"Chicken."

"Chicken!"

Jun Qingchen yelled several times in a row, and Hua Zhengxuan realized that he was calling her, and immediately replied: "What's wrong, Qingchen?"

This lifetime of "light dust" means that she finally has a long memory.Jun Qingchen hummed in satisfaction, "This is the first time I've carried someone back."

With a sudden jump in his heart, Hua Zhengxuan swallowed his saliva, looked at his neck and asked, "So?"

"So..." Jun Qingchen bumped her up suddenly, and then tightened her grip with his already sore hands, "So even if you feel uncomfortable, you have to endure it for me, you can't say it! You have to bring Stay on my back obediently with a grateful heart and don't move around!"

"..." Hua Zhengxie sighed quietly, wrapped his neck around his neck more vigorously and said, "I obey, I obey you, you have worked hard, and I am very grateful from the bottom of my heart."

Seeing this scene, Yan, who was easily hugging his pregnant wife, smiled knowingly.

It's everyone's, just get it if you like it.If you don't turn her into your own family sooner, you will sooner or later become someone else's family.

This point, if he has time before he goes back, it seems that he can teach this little brother.

At first, when Huo Bao transmitted a lot of knowledge about war, Hua Zhengxuan thought that King Yun would test her a bunch of questions about what to do on the battlefield.Unexpectedly, King Yun only asked some questions about Jun Qingchen's feelings, and he agreed to go after reading his palm for no reason.

Think about it, no matter what, she is the young master of the Jun family who controls Yunlai and even the entire Canglan country's important economic veins. There are two uncles, one emperor and one king. How could it be her turn, a helpless little girl? Protect?Seeing what King Yun meant, he just felt that Jun Qingchen was a big boss and had no family. He was originally in bad health and temper, and when he was away from home, he didn't have someone to take care of him personally. No matter how he thought about it, he was worried.

But... just because of this, she has to accompany Jun Qingchen to the screen door?Then how should she explain here?She already went out frequently enough, and now she goes out again, and it's a far away place. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for her to survive here when she comes back?
After staying in the Misty Rain Pavilion for a long time, someone opened the door and came in.Hua Zhengxuan immediately stood up, "Sister Xu."

Sister Xu nodded slightly, and walked slowly to the chair beside her, "Zhengxie, I heard that you are going to King Yun's banquet with Young Master Jun today?"

Hua Zhengxuan lowered his head: "Yes."

Sister Xu smiled slightly, "Why this look? Sit down and talk."

Hua Zhengxuan thought for a while, but still didn't dare to sit down, and spoke twice before asking, "What chance do Sister Xu think I have of winning the oiran contest in November?"

Sister Xu blinked when she heard the words, then smiled and said, "Since when did you care about such a false name?"

"I'm not doing it for fame." Hua Zhengxuan shook his head, a little anxiously: "I heard that there will be a reward of one thousand taels for being the oiran, and half a cent will not be deducted from the brothel. Only when I get the oiran can I redeem myself earlier. "The voice fell, there was a pause, and she said again, "Zhihong's condition doesn't look very good. I went back and looked at his face before, and it was clear that he hadn't been well nursed. I can't leave him alone at home like this. I will rest assured. I want to go out and take care of him sooner."

Sister Xu looked at her for a while, then lowered her eyes and analyzed: "The strength of Rouge Building cannot be underestimated every year. And the two new girls from Xiangxingfang are also very good-looking. Zhengxie, if I tell the truth If you don't, you probably won't be able to get the position of oiran. After all, your qualifications are still young, and your ability to treat guests is still lacking. We are a brothel, and the competition is the way to attract customers, not who is better at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting skills Gao Chao. A few days ago, Chun Xiao told me that the two who are most likely to win the championship in Luoxiangfang this year are Ling Luo and Ling Luo. If Wu Shuang didn't give up on himself, then Wu Shuang would be one of them."

Lingering, silky, unparalleled.These three people are good at singing, music, and dancing respectively. They can be regarded as the oldest three in the young group in Luoxiangfang. Their appearance and strength are not bad.However, after Hua Zhengxuan came, his piano skills and appearance surpassed Lingluo, which made Lingluo lose the title of the top player. Before the new selection, some people had already named Hua Zhengxuan as the "little top player".

Even so, Hua Zhengxuan was still no match for Lingluo in real terms.People who have been in the brothel for three years have more ways to deal with customers.

In Luoxiangfang, there are more than three people who are stronger than themselves, let alone all the brothel girls from all over the cloud to be compared together?

Hua Zhengxuan sighed lightly.Although she is not reconciled, but in all fairness, she really does not have the strength to be known as an oiran.It is probably very difficult to win a top spot in this selection.After all, there are many excellent girls among the girls who entered Luoxiangfang in the same year.

"Don't think too much, Zhengxiu." Sister Xu patted her forearm, "I feel relieved that you won't be able to win the position of oiran. You are a down-to-earth girl, and you are not suitable for rolling around in the name Struggling is more suitable for a stable life. You don’t have to think about money. What I have here and Shao Qing’s savings are enough to redeem you. But you have to wait for a while. After all, Shao Qing not only wants to redeem you , and save some dowry.”

After finishing speaking, elder sister Xu winked at her.

But Hua Zhengxuan couldn't laugh at all after hearing this.

bride price?What's the meaning?
At this moment, a sudden knock on the door disturbed the conversation between the two.Before getting approval, Mu Shaoqing pushed the door open and came in, with a hasty look on his face, he said: "Mother, I heard that Zhengxiu is back?" After speaking, he saw Hua Zhengxuan who was blocked by the door just now.

"Look at you child, you are in a hurry, afraid that your mother will not succeed if you eat it?" Sister Xu laughed.

Mu Shaoqing wiped the sweat from his forehead, swallowed his saliva and said, "I'm not, after hearing the news of Zhengxie's return, am I anxious to see her..."

Sister Xu understood. After all, these two children had misunderstood each other because of various things, and they almost never met each other. It is normal to be eager to see each other.It's good to be young.

"Then the two of you go out first. I'm going to talk to Chun Xiao about being listed in the oiran competition. If it doesn't work, I will cancel the quota for Zhengxiu, so that she won't worry about it all the time. Oiran This kind of false name is the same whether it is disputed or not."

"Hey...don't!" Hua Zhengxiu was in a hurry, "Sister Xu, please don't cancel my quota, even... even if I can't get it, I want to give it a try!"

Even if it's just for a top card position, there is still a reward of 300 taels of silver.She always relies on picking up guests at Luoxiangfang, and only gets [-]% of her income each time, plus the reward is only a few dozen taels, so she has to pick up a lot of guests before she can go out.

Mu Shaoqing looked at his mother, then at Hua Zhengxuan, and said, "Mother, since Zhengxuan wants to try, let her try. After all, after this year is over, she will not participate in these things again." gone."

Hua Zhengxuan glanced unexpectedly at Mu Shaoqing who was helping him speak, silently bit his lip and lowered his head.

"You child..." Sister Xu smiled helplessly and shook her head, "That's all, since you both mean the same thing, then I can't stop it. I just hope that no matter what happens, it won't affect the two of you Feelings are fine."

Mu Shaoqing's expression relaxed a little: "Thank you, mother! Then I'll take Zhengxi out first!"

"Go, go!" Sister Xu waved her hand, smiling all over her face.It's the same as seeing that his son has married a new wife.

Hua Zhengxiu was led out of the room by Mu Shaoqing.

As soon as they left the room, the holding hands were released immediately.Mu Shaoqing breathed a sigh of relief, looked at her peacefully and said, "Go to your room."

"……it is good."

The two walked towards the main building one after the other. Along the way, there were many beautiful girls who were busy passing by or laughing in twos and twos enjoying the shade under the shade of the trees, and some of them were holding the arms of the guests and singing ditty songs. However, if they change their places and identities, they are probably a group of favored women in the eyes of people, and it is uncertain how many people are willing to marry into the family.

After walking for a while, Mu Shaoqing suddenly said, "I haven't told anyone about you and me yet."

Hua Zhengxuan said in a low voice, "I can see it."

Mu Shaoqing paused, turned around to look at her who stopped in time, there was a smile in his eyes, but the smile was dull: "I want to find an excuse to put gold on my face, I hope that no matter what you will end up with Whoever is together can spend the time in Luoxiangfang safely, and then go out smoothly."

"..."

Mu Shaoqing looked at the subtle changes in her eyes, and shook his head: "Actually, it's just that I'm still a little bit reluctant. I hope you can change your mind before things happen to the point of no return."

"Shao Qing..." Hua Zhengxuan struggled in his heart, wanting to tell him all the truth.But this idea was withdrawn after Mu Shaoqing turned around in time and continued to walk forward.

"At least you're still willing to call me that. I'm very happy. That's enough."

For a moment, Hua Zhengxuan almost burst into tears.

But unfortunately, the Hua Zhirou in her body is no longer there.I don't know if he really died, or what, in short, he never appeared again.

So instead of crying, she just kept her mouth shut.

However, Mu Shaoqing took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, and said: "Ah, by the way, you were busy going to the banquet after you came back from visiting your brother, and there is something I haven't told you yet. It's just to talk to you The girl Lu'er who had a good relationship with her left, saying that she was taken in by Mrs. Jun's family as a righteous daughter. I don't know the reason very clearly, but since it was taken away by someone from the Jun's family, I think you should know the reason .”

"Well, I probably know about it." Hua Zhengxie leaned on the armrest, looked at the group of talking and laughing guests below the stage, and glanced at the seat where Jun Qingchen sat when she was playing on the stage, and found that there was someone sitting on it. A young man of about 20 years old.Although his face could not be seen clearly, his impression was very eye-catching.

Because he was wearing a gorgeous but heavy purple dress.

In this hot weather, wouldn't it be sweaty to wear a fleece-trimmed robe?The man leaned his face leisurely, pinched a peach and ate it with relish.

"Zheng Xi."

"Ah?" After being returned to his thoughts, Hua Zhengxie realized that she and Mu Shaoqing had distanced themselves, and hurried over.

"Don't act so unfamiliar. If someone finds out and bullies you." Mu Shaoqing said in a low voice.

Hua Zhengxuan wanted to say that she didn't stay away on purpose, but when she turned her head and saw that the young man had left her seat, she could only turn her head and curled up her mouth to express her thanks.

Guessing that she didn't hear what he said just now, Mu Shaoqing repeated it patiently: "Lu'er said before leaving that he would clean the house for you. , and agreed."

Hua Zhengxuan nodded and said: "Okay, then I'll go back to rest first. It's getting late, you should go to rest too."

Mu Shaoqing stayed at the door for a while before asking: "Why did he take you to see King Yun?"

Hua Zhengxi pursed his lips and remained silent.

Seeing this, Mu Shaoqing sighed softly: "Just don't lose you."

Said and stepped aside from the door.

After thinking about it, Hua Zhengxuan still said "thank you" to him seriously.Before entering the door, the wrist was grabbed.The boy's aura was close at hand, he tightened the strength of his palm as if wanting to possess it, but then loosened it again.

Mu Shaoqing closed his eyes and smiled softly.

"Take a good rest. No matter what, when you need it, call me, I'll be there anytime."

Hua Zhengxuan nodded at him, and slowly closed the door.

Shut the soft "I love you" at the door.

She never thought that one day, someone would treat her so affectionately.It's a pity that this affection does not belong to her, it is a weight that she cannot bear, she cannot afford it.

Walking to the dressing table and slowly sitting down, she looked at the blurred face in the mirror by the moonlight, and smiled bitterly.

"Hua Zhirou, do you hate me?"

"She doesn't hate you, but is very grateful to you for taking care of her brother."

The voice came from nowhere, lazily and with a smile.Hua Zhengxuan stood up immediately in fright.

"Who!?"

"Don't ask me who I am, I don't want to give my name." The voice continued, but it came from outside the window.

Hua Zhengxuan immediately lay down on the window to look, and found that there was a person lying on the thick tree outside her window, lying on a thick branch leisurely, with one leg dangling in the air, almost chewing root reed.

"You are..." As soon as the words came out, Hua Zhengxuan stopped talking again when he thought of what this person said, and stood at the window full of confusion and asked: "Young master is here late at night, what's the matter?"

The man whistled twice, turned to look at her, and laughed like a fox.

"I seem to be someone who peeps at the little girl with nothing to do?"

Hua Zhengxuan: "..."

The person outside the window is the purple-clothed man she saw downstairs just now.It was still the same thick purple robe with the collar open, exposing a white chest, making it impossible to guess whether he was hot or cold.

After looking at it twice, Hua Zhengxuan looked away and stared at the moon and asked, "What do you mean by what the young master said at the beginning?"

"Literally." The man in purple scratched his face, and raised his eyes to look at the bright full moon. "That girl didn't hate you, and was grateful that you took care of her brother."

The person who spoke was calm and casual, but the person who listened was shocked, "Master, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, the man interrupted her in the tone of someone who had experienced it: "Girl, let me advise you, before your oiran match, don't go anywhere, just stay in the room honestly." Just wait."

Not going anywhere, this is also her original intention.But from such a weird person, Hua Zhengxuan couldn't help asking: "Why?"

The man in purple glanced at her with his beautiful phoenix eyes, and then looked away.

"You follow, and the person you care about will die."

"..."

"Of course, if you don't go, he may die."

"..."

Who does she care about?who is it?

Hua Zhengxuan immediately thought of someone.

Jun Qingchen.

Apart from him, he couldn't think of anyone else.Probably because she knew that he had died six times, she was sure it was him.

Hua Zhengxuan held onto the window frame tightly: "Is there no way to keep him from dying?"

The man in purple gave a long hum.

"Have."

Hearing that there is a solution, Hua Zhengxuan immediately asked: "What is the solution?"

The man in purple stretched out his hand and grabbed it out of thin air, put it near his mouth, let go of his palm and blew gently.

"When he comes to you tomorrow, you warn him that he will die. Tell him not to go there."

"This..." Hua Zhengxuan hesitated, "Will he listen?"

"What do you think?" The man in purple asked her back.

Certainly not!No need to think about it!

After Hua Zhengxuan got the answer, he felt helpless, "Then what should I do?"

"You don't have to do anything. Just let him go with the flow and reject him. If something happens, you can take it easy and sacrifice yourself as a sacrifice for the country. Well, it's best not to struggle, and you can take the initiative to change Jia, then you don’t have to stop him if he wants to leave. If you pretend to be asleep when he leaves, you can get some better rewards.” The man in purple said intermittently while calculating.

Hua Zhengxuan was confused, "What does it mean to die for the country? Why don't you struggle? Why are you pretending to be asleep?"

"It's inconvenient to tell you this." The man in purple shook his legs twice, grabbed the hand that was blowing air before, and then threw the thing in his hand towards her.

Hua Zhengxuan subconsciously caught it and found it was a piece of soft and clean sheepskin.

"Take it, don't lose it before you don't want to lose it."

The voice of the man in purple fell, and a muffled thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.

"Ah, it's going to rain."

This was the last sentence Hua Zhengxuan heard, the man in purple said.Then she seemed to shake her head, and when she realized it, the other party had disappeared.Looking down, it was dark under the tree, and then it began to rain heavily.

Hurriedly closing the window, Hua Zhengxie held the clean sheepskin in his hand and stared at it for a while, really unable to figure out how to explain what happened just now.

She remembered clearly what the man in purple told her.It's just specific, she can't figure it out and dare not guess randomly.I have to say that since she died once, she has encountered too many strange things.Although there are many legends about gods and ghosts circulating in Canglan country, most people in Canglan country believe in these things.But when they really happened to him, Hua Zhengxuan still found it unbelievable.

Hearing the sound of raindrops hitting the window sill, Hua Zhengmai sighed heavily, and folded the sheepskin into a square and flat shape, and stuffed it into the small drawer where he kept his important things.
