Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

"Concubine Zhang, when His Royal Highness Prince Kang set out to return to the capital that day, you stayed in the courtyard of the government office. I talked to His Royal Highness Prince Duan about it, and then I sent a carriage to take you to chase Prince Kang. But I was busy and couldn't see you off in person..."

Liu Rusi rarely used her green tea skills and asked in confusion, "Is it because of this? Are you blaming me?"

Sure enough, Concubine Zhang's face turned green. This was clearly saying that she was not favored and that Prince Kang would not remember returning to Kyoto! She gritted her teeth for a long time before she said through her teeth: "His Royal Highness Prince Kang is just anxious to return to the capital to clear himself of the frame-up!"

"Haha, if I remember correctly, the one who sued Prince Kang was your own sister Zhang Rujin." Chu Shiyu was in a good and bad mood. The bad thing was that these people actually targeted Liu Rusi, but the good thing was that they worked together with Liu Rusi to squeeze out others.

"She's been bewitched!" Concubine Zhang gritted her teeth, and suddenly realized something and said, "Oh, right! My sister also met you alone before!"

Concubine Zhang said to the princess as if she had found evidence: "She must be able to cast a spell! And her son Qin Hao! He has only met His Royal Highness Prince Kang for two days, and yet he wants His Royal Highness to teach him! Prince Kang has never taught his own children!"

This is really out of line! Even her son has become a charlatan!

Liu Rusi said to the princess with a smile, "That's because my son is smart. Not only His Royal Highness Prince Kang, but even the Emperor praised him for his natural intelligence and conferred him the title of Marquis of Chaoyang. I can't say..."

"Enough!" The eldest princess interrupted hastily, saying that no one can guess who is sitting on the dragon throne. If her royal brother had been poisoned, the world would have been in chaos long ago!

"After some discussion, I also temporarily believe that it is not Madam Liu who can use Gu."

The princess looked at Chu Shiyu seriously and said, "It's just that your change is really unusual. It's not Madam Liu's intention. It may be caused by some other reasons. "

Since he had given up on targeting Liu Rusi, Chu Shiyu also let go of his hostility a little, and asked coldly and casually: "Aunt, do you have any solution?"

He also wanted to know if there was any special reason why his emotions were so overwhelming...

The princess lowered her eyes slightly and said, "For such mysterious matters, people usually look to Buddhism and Taoism. You can go and have a look at any famous temples and shrines in and outside the capital."

"Nephew, why don't you just become a monk?" Chu Shiyu asked sarcastically.

"Don't, Brother Prince Duan! I don't object to you and Liu...but you can't be so obsessed with her!"

Princess Changning stood up excitedly. Her mother had told her that if she wanted to marry Prince Duan, she would have to accept that he would not have only one woman...so, she just wanted to make sure that she would be the legal wife, Princess Duan!

"What if my heart and eyes are filled with you?" Chu Shiyu asked with a sneer.

Princess Changning thought about it seriously and pursed her lips. Who wouldn't want her husband to be obsessed with her? !

"Which woman doesn't want to grow old with someone and have her in her heart and eyes?" Chu Shiyu's eyes swept across the women in the hall. Without exception, everyone had a puzzled look on their face, including the eldest princess.

"This king just wants to give her what everyone wants."

Rui Feng's eyes finally fell on the face of the person next to him, full of sincerity. He was only worried that she didn't want to be wholeheartedly devoted to someone other than Qin Lie.

While Liu Rusi was unable to accept the deep affection, she was screaming in her heart, why did he suddenly confess his love in public when they were all against the same enemy?!

"You should ask the princess where you should go for treatment." Liu Rusi smiled awkwardly. Who knows, maybe there is really something wrong with you, and it will be gone after being cured...

Chu Shiyu suddenly felt a little discouraged and looked at Liu Rusi helplessly. He didn't want to cure her, he just wanted to know the reason.

The eldest princess grinned in disgust. Some people have never been sincere to her even after so many encounters, while others are sincere to her but she is still picky. She just didn't expect that people like them, the Chu family, would actually be picked over.

"You can ask the Buddhist or Taoist priests about this matter, or..." The princess laughed mockingly, "Go to the Imperial Observatory for treatment."

The Qifeng banquet ended after dinner, but after Chu Shiyu got the direction of "seeing a doctor", he didn't want to stay with these people any longer.

Liu Rusi also felt tired of the verbal sparring here, so she pinched back and agreed to leave.

"There is something going on at home. My nephew and Madam Liu have to go back first."

"Well, I won't see you off when you leave." The eldest princess said in a cold voice.

Chu Shiyu didn't take it seriously, and Liu Rusi bowed with a polite smile.

The Qifeng Banquet was held in the back house of the princess's mansion, but their carriage stopped at the main gate. The two men, accompanied by two maids, walked leisurely out of the princess's mansion.

Although they were fighting fiercely and seemed to be doing their best, Chu Shiyu's mind was always on the two words at the beginning, deceased husband? How could she call Qin Lie her deceased husband? !

He was both happy and surprised, and was afraid that asking would scare her away, but if he didn't ask, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight!

The voice was so gentle that it seemed like someone was trying to coax her to sleep: "Rusi, how could you call Qin Lie dead..."

"Qin Lie!"

Liu Rusi suddenly shouted excitedly and ran forward quickly!

Chu Shiyu was startled and immediately followed her, but then he saw her stop and stand still.

"cousin?"

In the distance was a young man in red. He first looked at the pale woman in surprise, then walked quickly towards Chu Shiyu and asked with a hearty smile, "Why are you here, cousin? Are you here to see me?"

"Qin Tao..." Chu Shiyu whispered the boy's name.

The handsome young man had a puzzled look on his face. He looked around with his bright eyes and asked curiously, "Is there another Qin Tao?"

"No, I have something to do. I'll come see you later."

Chu Shiyu stepped forward and pulled Liu Rusi over! He walked out with big strides! How could such a thing happen at this critical moment? !

Liu Rusi got into the carriage in a daze, not even realizing that she was carried up by Chu Shiyu...

In my heart, I cursed the malice of heaven countless times. Many questions and pleas were stuck in my chest. In the end, I said a jealous joke: "He is only seventeen years old! Don't you like older ones?"

This sentence really woke Liu Rusi up. A tear fell from her eyes. She smiled like crying and said, "He and the seventeen-year-old Qin Lie seem..."

Tears burst out of her eyes and she looked down at the hand she had proudly displayed before, tears falling into her palms one by one.

"If Qin Lie were alive... this year... um... he would be 25 years old..."

Her voice was trembling so much that she couldn't utter a complete sentence. Liu Rusi closed her eyes, but couldn't stop crying. She pursed her lips but still let out a broken sob...

"Come on! He's just a lookalike!"

Chu Shiyu hugged her in his arms, took out his handkerchief, and wiped her tears carefully, but those tears could not be wiped away...

"I look alike too! I'm almost the same height as Qin Lie! Didn't everyone think I was Qin Lie before?! That guy is even half a head shorter than me!"

Liu Rusi kept shaking her head in his arms, and after trying to swallow several times, she finally said incoherently: "Qin Lie's...father...well...went to serve in the army when he was six years old...well...never came back!"

After saying this, she finally stopped restraining herself and burst into tears, unconsciously and powerlessly, leaning on the strong chest that was holding her tightly.

After wetting a handkerchief and replacing it with a dry one, Chu Shiyu finally understood why she said that.

She didn't want to find a replacement for Qin Lie. The one she loved and thought about was always Qin Lie himself. No matter how similar he was, she didn't want anyone who was not the real him... and now, she felt heartache because of the Qin Lie in her heart.

Gently wiping away the endless tears, Chu Shiyu felt a little distressed and helpless. When she saw a face that looked like the one she loved, she could actually think of so many things in an instant...

His imitation of others must have been ridiculous at the time.

As the carriage approached the palace, the tears finally stopped flowing, and except for a pair of red and swollen almond-shaped eyes, everything seemed to have returned to normal.

"I thought at least his deceased family members loved him."

Liu Rusi gently pushed the hand that was hugging her and tried to turn around, as if she wanted to look him in the eye.

Chu Shiyu hesitated for a moment and made some space for her, his arms still around her, but it was enough for her to turn around.

With red and swollen eyes filled with unspeakable sadness, she whispered, "But I didn't expect that the love I gave him was fake."

He had a bad feeling and quickly tightened his arms, ending his eye contact with her and trying to stop her from saying anything.

After a moment of silence, she spoke again.

"I can't be sure if the others are true or not."

Chu Shiyu was in a panic, and felt that the carriage had stopped, and hurriedly said: "Don't talk about it for now, we are home, let's go back to Ruliuyuan first!"

"I can only guarantee myself."

With red eyes full of apology, she looked at the person who wanted to carry her out of the car and said softly but firmly, "I'm sorry."

Ruifeng's eyes also became moist. Chu Shiyu took a few deep breaths. He really wanted to accuse!

This is unfair! He doesn't have it either! He doesn't even have the ability to tell the real from the fake! Why can't he get it just because Qin Lie is dead? !

But he also knew that love itself was unfair...

After adjusting for a long time, Chu Shiyu pleaded, "Qin Lie's father is dead. He died when he loved him the most."

Liu Rusi said nothing, but just curled the corners of her mouth slightly and sighed, "Get off the car. After dinner, I want to go to bed early."

"it is good…"

Chu Shiyu carefully supported the already strong and delicate body as he stepped down from the carriage.

"Mom! I don't like that gentleman..."

Little Qin Hao ran closer to see his mother's face clearly, and immediately forgot what he was going to say. He frowned, looked at Chu Shiyu angrily and asked: "Father made mother cry?!"

It would be good if it was him. Liu Rusi had never cried for him until now. Although he didn't want her to cry, it also meant that he couldn't control her emotions too much.

Liu Rusi squatted down in front of Qin Hao, looked him in the eye and said seriously, "It's not godfather, it's mother who suddenly misses your father again. Haohao can't suspect and blame others without any basis like this, apologize to godfather."

Little Qin Hao walked forward with a distressed look on his face, wrapped his arms around his mother's neck, and rested his head on her shoulder. He turned his head to look at his adoptive father and said softly, "I'm sorry, adoptive father. I wronged you."

"fine."

Qin Hao has been very good. Recently, he has told him many of Liu Rusi's little habits in private, supporting his idea of ​​"bells and drums" with actions. Now he is just concerned about her. Qin Hao's position of putting his mother first has never changed.

Dinner is still eaten without talking.

Even though everyone could see that Liu Rusi had no appetite, she still slowly ate the minimum amount of food before getting up, going back to her room to wash up, and going to bed early.

The two men, one big and one small, looked at the closed door for a long time.

Chu Shiyu was so upset that he was hit hard just when he saw the light at the end of the tunnel! But it seemed wrong to blame anyone, he could only blame the sick God!

"If you don't like any gentleman, your godfather will help you change it."

"No, I need to ask my mother's opinion before deciding whether to change it or not."

After Xiao Qinhao expressed his opinion, he turned around and looked up at Chu Shiyu, and asked solemnly: "Did something happen today? Mother hasn't cried because of missing Daddy recently, and her eyes are so swollen, she must have cried very sadly!"

The child in front of him was small, but his face showed a seriousness that could not be taken lightly. Many things flashed through Chu Shiyu's mind, but he did not dare to make a decision easily about Qin Hao's matter.

After pondering for a while, he whispered, "Go to your room and show your foster father the martial arts manual you brought from home. I will tell you something slowly."

In the imperial city, the topics that people talk about most are about the high-ranking officials and dignitaries.

The lower-class people can't explain the struggles in the officialdom, and only some people who are concerned about the country or like to point fingers will discuss it. But those bloody love affairs and ethical entanglements are different. Isn't the matter between men and women the same for everyone from the emperor to the common people?

Although the more distinguished a person is, the more taboo it is to talk about it, the more taboo it is, the more people want to discuss it. However, if you talk about the most taboo thing, you may lose your head, so people dare not talk about it in the streets.

So people can only settle for the second best, which will not bring about the disaster of death, but who are the most noble people? Of course, the most taboo is the son of that person, and who is the most eye-catching among the many sons of that person?

Of course it's Prince Duan! He's extremely noble, but if you're a little careful with your words when you talk about him, nothing serious will happen. He's always ranked first on the list of ideal husbands circulated in the streets!

Recently, there is a bloody love story full of ethical issues! The protagonists of the story are handsome men and beautiful women, and the people are eager to discuss it!

I walked into a winery and heard people talking loudly inside.

"I'm telling you, that widow is a witch from Miaojiang! When she was treating the leader's injuries, she saw that he was strong and healthy, and when she was feeling amorous, she put a love poison in his wounds! Then she used her seductive tricks to make the leader fall in love with her!"

A man dressed in gray, whose appearance was so plain that I could hardly remember it, had a face full of indignation!

But the people sitting in the wine shop are all men, and most of them are ordinary people with emotions and desires. How many men have ever fantasized about a beautiful woman falling in love with them inexplicably and getting entangled with them...

"It's true that she saved my life, and the love poison won't harm anyone. I heard that the widow is as beautiful as a fairy... The leader is so smart, he must know this. I'm afraid she is willing to fight and be beaten, and the hibiscus tent is warm, so she is very happy, right?"

The person who was speaking sipped his wine with relish, a look of fascination on his face.

The people around understood what he meant, with a mischievous look on their faces. Someone jokingly said, "If I can have a beautiful woman whispering in my ear, I'd be willing to eat a pound of bugs, not to mention having bugs grow on my body ~ hehehe..."

"That's for the handsome man with a jade face. As for your meanness, the beauty who eats a pound of bugs will probably run even further away!"

"Hahaha!" Everyone roared with laughter.

The man in gray who mentioned the love poison saw that no one was as angry as he was, and said impatiently: "But she is a country widow, and she has a son who can run and jump!"

Everyone's faces changed slightly. Men would want other women to fall in love with them, but they hope their own women will always be loyal. If women no longer believe in being faithful to one man, then the first to be affected will be the ordinary men like the majority of people in the wine shop.
