female concubine

"Come here so late, Liang Lang is because of the New Year's Eve tomorrow?" Just as Liu Shi approached happily with plum wine, the man beside him sighed and shook his head.

Dressed in casual clothes, Liang Wenbo raised his head and choked with sobs, "King Chu... was punished by His Majesty in court today and taken into Zongzheng Temple!"

——Kuangdang! ——The lacquer plate slipped from the hand, the flagon was broken, and the plum wine was scattered all over the floor, and the fragrance of green plums overflowed immediately.

Liang Wenbo was not surprised when he saw this, he just squatted down calmly, and picked up the intact lacquered plate and an unbroken cup in the pair, leaving a broken cup and a broken wine jug on the ground.

"You..." Liu Shi turned around and asked Liang Wenbo with red eyes, "Did Liang Lang do anything to offend the lord?"

Liang Wenbo's bowed hands trembled when he placed the cup, Zheng turned his head to look at Liu Shi, and after looking at it for a while, he put down the cup in his hand, "How could that be!"

Immediately approaching Mrs. Liu, his eyes were moved and slightly bitter, "The king of Chu has a great favor for us, how could I do such a thing to repay my kindness, but there are too many involved in it, I was involved in it, some things, I don't know by yourself."

Liu Shi frowned and stared straight at him, "Since the Great Court Meeting, Liang Lang has kept something from me."

Liang Wenbo immediately raised his brows, and said bitterly: "Everyone is dealing with it, and I can't get away from it. There are some things that have nothing to do with you, so you don't need to get involved."

"Then will you be in danger?" As if hearing the seriousness of the situation, Liu Shi asked in surprise, "Where is King Chu?"

"Don't worry, I have my own comprehensive method, King Chu... When Lord Longde returns, he will return from Zongzheng Temple safely, and nothing will happen."

Hearing this, Liu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around to clean up the mess on the ground.

Liang Wenbo saw all this in his eyes, and looked at the woman's back, trembling his eyes, "If something happens to me and the King of Chu one day, Si Niang...who will I choose?"

Mrs. Liu stayed where she was, and immediately turned her head to meet Liang Wenbo's gaze, unable to answer.

Liang Wenbo smiled slightly, and walked up to her, "I'm just asking casually, don't take it seriously." He stretched out his hand to caress the hair beside her ear, "Don't worry, Si Niang, after the palace examination, if I win the first place, I will be third." There are also a lot of media recruiters who come to marry you." The words are extremely sincere, and it is also believed to be true.

It was not until late at night that the king of Chu woke up from the coma. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the furnishings in the small room were a bit old. The white curtain above her head was also slightly yellowed, and the dilapidated scene reminded her that this should be the courtyard of the Zongzheng Temple's imprisoned clan, and it would not be an exaggeration to say it was a prison.

She was lying on her stomach, and it was very difficult to move her head when she was weak. After her body gradually regained consciousness, there were waves of numb pain from her lower body. Just as she was about to pull her hands up, she found that there was something heavy beside her. I can't take my hands off.

In a blink of an eye, Xiao Youqing was lying in front of her couch with the lonely shadow of a candle, and the clouds on her temples were about to burn her cheeks. This was what she looked like in the King of Chu's heart. There was still water stained with blood in the copper basin on the old table beside her. Seeing this, she probably could also think of the previous scene, thinking in her heart, the pain turned into a burning heat in her ears, which made her feel shy, because since she was a child, no one has really replaced her except her mother. After all the clothes changed, no one actually saw her.

"My lord is awake!" Xiao Youqing noticed movement around him during his late sleep, and woke up from his fatigue. Seeing that the King of Chu had awakened and his face had recovered a bit, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief and rubbed his eyes. He got up and said: "My lord is hungry, I will go now..."

Before the joyful steps could be taken, the corner of the sleeve was gently pulled, and the faint voice of the king of Chu came from behind him.

"Sister, don't go." Wei Huan propped himself up with one hand, grabbed Xiao Youqing's sleeve corner with the other, and looked down at the edge of the bed.

She just twisted the corner of her sleeve a little bit, like a child, it didn't take much effort, if Xiao Youqing wanted to take a step forward, she could still do it.

Xiao Youqing was stunned by King Chu's words. Looking back at the weak state of King Chu, she hesitated to speak, but she felt endless sourness in her heart. She turned around and sat down, "I won't leave."

After the sourness passed, she stared at the King of Chu for a long time, and felt distressed for a long time, "The prince used this method to test His Majesty, it's really..." The rest of the words were in her mouth, and she was a little speechless.

The person on the bed then said: "It's really stupid, isn't it?"

Xiao Youqing was stunned, "Since the prince knows, he should also understand, if today's matter is replaced by King Zhao..."

It was very difficult to speak, so the voice was not loud, but Xiao Youqing's words were interrupted extremely fast, and he said decisively, "If it is Zhao Wang, there will be no such heavy punishment!"

At this point, Xiao Youqing didn't say anything anymore, as a son, she naturally knew better than her what the emperor was like.

Then I heard King Chu's weak voice, "After this incident, I will make peace with you and let you out of the mansion, but tonight, sister don't leave."

"Why?" Xiao Youqing didn't understand, but seemed to understand, "What did His Majesty tell you?"

When it hurts the most, nothing is more heartbroken, and the most difficult thing is when you don't understand, Wei Huan put down his hands, buried his head in the pillow and said nothing.

"The prince doesn't want to say it, so the concubine won't ask any more. The prince can rest well tonight."

"I...can't sleep." She raised her head from the pillow and stared blankly at Xiao Youqing.

The originally fair face has now turned pale, and what remains unchanged is the exquisite facial features, which makes Xiao Youqing couldn't help but reach out and touch, "The concubine...just talk to the prince." Back to the scene before the wedding. That night, it was Xiao Youqing who tried to open her heart for the first time. Perhaps, this person was just cold on the surface, "My lord sometimes calls his sister in his dreams. Is that calling Miss Liu?" Xiao Youqing knew it was the Liu family, But she still couldn't help but want to ask.

Wei Huan lowered his head, "Yes, I'm ashamed to say, when I saw her for the first time, I thought she was out of the world, quiet and beautiful, how could she be from that kind of place, the moment I approached her, I didn't know what to call her , so I called this word out of desperation, and later made up a bunch of reasons to prevaricate..."

Xiao Youqing seemed to understand something, "So, the lord doesn't know how to address concubines?"

She raised her head, then lowered it again. She wanted to ask something, but she was too ashamed to speak.

Xiao Youqing looked at her awkwardly, and said to himself: "The prince's name and characters are all from the "Book of Songs" and the concubine's name is from "Chu Songs". If the prince wants to call his concubine, he should call him Youqing."

"Youqing, what a good name... I'm really ashamed. I've known you for so long, but I don't even remember your name." Wei Huan said again: "You are older than me, and it's too rude to call you by your name. Looks unfamiliar, or else, call your sister." Chu Wang stared at it without blinking, seeing Xiao Youqing hesitated, she hurriedly added: "It has nothing to do with the Liu family."

She hesitated because she had never heard of a husband calling his wife's sister. She hesitated because there was more in it, only family affection. She smiled and said: "If the concubine hears it, the concubine will be embarrassed." bitter.

But the bitterness was not noticed by others, "Later, I got used to calling it, and felt that the word sounded very kind. Besides, the address is not predetermined, the elder is sister, and the word is intimate, but..." She Looking at Xiao Youqing, stared from top to bottom, "I called you like that today, and I won't allow others to call you like that in the future!"

To comfort herself, at least it is better than a cold face. Isn't her purpose just to get close to this person? The unfamiliarity has passed, and there is no rush for the rest. My lord, who would call me a concubine like that? I don't know, how many sisters does my lord have now?"

The smile came from the heart, against the faint light of the residual candle, the people on the couch were stunned.

Noticing the gaze, Xiao Youqing smiled again, "My lord, what are you looking at?" Xiao Youqing looked sideways at the window, "There is no girl from Lanyuelou here."

Xiao Youqing laughed jokingly, as if he was talking about a disciple, the King of Chu hurriedly turned his head, "This king... this king is not a lustful person, there is no one else except you and Miss Liu, if my sister cares, I will I only call you alone."

Xiao Youqing was stunned by King Chu's change of words, "Aren't you afraid that Miss Liu will be sad if you do this?"

Wei Huan suddenly darkened his eyes, "She won't."

"How does the prince know that she can't?"

She buried her head and leaned against Xiao Youqing's leg, "If she knows how, it will be fine."

"No matter how much I do, it's still not as good as a word from that person in her heart."

Xiao Youqing originally wanted to reach out and caress her back, but suddenly, the hands placed in front of her belly were covered by a white hand and then held, "Sister."

"Ok?"

"You said that the latecomer really can't walk into her heart and replace the original one?"

Xiao Youqing stared at the buried King Chu, her eyes were a little moist, and said tremblingly: "I also want to know."

Wei Huanxuan was about to pull his hand away, "After this matter is over, I will send my sister out of the house."

The warmth from the touch disappeared immediately, Xiao Youqing asked, "Why?"

"No why."

"If you want to avoid disaster, I will leave Chu Palace, but why do you want to scar yourself? Tell me, who told you about the theory, your father..."

"He's not my father!" King Chu suddenly raised his head, his red eyes bulging, shook his head and replied, "He's not my father."

Xiao Youqing was obviously frightened by the person who changed his face when he said that he would change his face, and then she also turned cold, "I am the concubine of Chu Wang Yuan, who was personally signed by His Majesty. Without His Majesty's decree, I will always be Princess Chu!"

Wei Huan was a little puzzled, "My sister wanted to leave earlier, but I refused, but now I agree, why doesn't my sister leave again, what exactly does my sister want?"

Xiao Youqing stretched out his hand to caress King Chu's face, and gently brushed the corner of his eyes with his thumb, "I don't want to do anything, I just want... the six kings can be fine."

The humiliation she suffered today, coupled with all the pain she suffered in the past, made her fear what will happen in the future, "My two elder brothers are not idle people, and the Chu Palace cannot protect my sister."

Ever since she plotted against the King of Chu, the King of Chu was just a bet placed by the Xiao family, and she never thought of letting her protect him, "Has the lord forgotten?"

"what?"

"It's my concubine who caused the prince to get involved in this dispute, but I didn't expect that it would come so early. It's my fault that I didn't protect the prince well."

Wei Huan wanted to go back to her very much. The dispute had already started from the moment she returned to Tokyo and stepped into the imperial city.

The original clean and penetrating eyes are now a little more deep and helpless.

Xiao Youqing knew what she lacked, and Liu Shi grasped this point, but she was a little later than Liu Shi.

When the eyes met, it was Wei Huan who was defeated first, and the moment he turned his head away from sight made Xiao Youqing feel that it wasn't too late.

A gentle person is too rational. Her gentleness will make people sink and sink, while the irreversible and restraint of reason will hurt people.
