In July of the second year of Xihe, Zhao Teng, king of Changsha, died.The king of Changsha, Zhao Teng, was the elder brother of the first emperor. He was a peaceful and honest man, and his rule was peaceful and without any major mistakes. Therefore, he had no sense of existence among Zhao Yanzhi's group of fathers and brothers who jumped up and down.

The kingdom of Changsha is neither big nor small; the king of Changsha has three legitimate sons and five concubine sons, probably because he is too honest, and he has passed on all the courage and courage he should have to his sons.Before the dead empress of Changsha died, his three legitimate sons began to fight endlessly for the title.With this commotion, Changsha, which was originally unknown to the public, gave a strong sense of existence.

Bad things are always spread far and wide, but this matter quickly spread to the Guangming Palace, provoking the emperor's wrath.However, anger is anger, and leniency is a must.After a lot of brainstorming, Zhao Yanzhi divided the Changsha Kingdom into three big and five small ones, a total of eight parts. The three sons were all crowned kings, and the five sons were also named marquises.So far, among the original 28 princes and kings, 11 have been cut off from the county or even expelled from the country for various reasons.

During this period of time, Xie Qing lived a normal life of resting and bathing every five days, his health improved a bit, and he even gained a few taels of meat.Xie Qing would usually go home to have a look when he was resting, but Zhao Yanzhi never allowed him to stay overnight at home.In fact, Xie Qing didn't even think about it. Nan Ji's attitude became worse and worse every time. She often choked Xie Qing speechless with a few words, and even drove Xie Qing out of the house once.

Going to Xie Qing once and twice formed a fixed pattern of going home to have a cup of tea first on holidays, and then chatting with Yu Changqing until returning to Guangming Palace in the evening, but one day, something happened.

Nan Ji has a peculiar way of thinking.Although she looked down on Xie Qing and was unwilling to live a good life with him in every possible way, she also didn't want him to have other women.Every time Xie Qing was chased away by her, she would ask someone to follow him to see where he went.

After going back and forth, Xie Qing's small house was known to Nan Ji.Nan Ji was furious when she heard the words, she believed that Xie Qing had raised a woman outside against her.What's even more exasperating is that he didn't let the woman in, but set up a house for her outside, as if he wanted to fight her.

It's really unreasonable!The more Nan Ji thought about it, the angrier she became.

On this day Xie Qing went home, drank tea as usual, listened to the training and left.Nan Ji spoke so harshly today that Xie Qing ran away without even finishing his water.

Xie Qing went out the front foot, and Nan Ji followed behind in disguise.When Xie Qing chose the house back then, it was so quiet, so the location of the house was a bit remote.But Nan Ji felt that this was one of the evidences that Xie Qing was guilty of being a thief, and her anger grew even stronger.

Nan Ji saw that Xie Qing walked in the door familiarly, apparently she had been here many times, so she couldn't help gnashing her teeth even more.She had no intention of waiting by the door for Xie Qing to come out, but based on the principle of catching the rape in bed, she decided to wait a little longer before entering the door, lest the two of them have time to do nothing, and Xie Qing refused to admit it.

Yu Changqing was in a good mood today, and he got up early in the morning to collect water from the lotus leaves, which were boiling when Xie Qing came in.Yu Changqing was very happy to see Xie Qing, and greeted repeatedly: "Huaifang came just in time, my tea will be ready in a while."

The two entered the house hand in hand, a small clay pot was placed on a red clay stove, the water inside was boiling happily, Xie Qing could almost smell the faint fragrance of lotus leaves in the room.

Xie Qing loves to toss these things the most, and Yu Changqing just made this pot of water and it made him feel good, forgetting all the unpleasantness that happened with his wife just now.Xie Qing was very interested, and said that he wanted to play the piano himself for fun.

Yu Changqing felt a little funny.Xie Qing's piano skills are very good, Yu Changqing couldn't forget his piano once he heard it, but unfortunately his piano couldn't catch Xie Qing's eyes, so Xie Qing couldn't bear to play it.If Yu Changqing had known that a pot of lotus leaf water could coax Xie Qing to play the piano, so what if he picked a pot every day and waited for Xie Qing to come to his door.

The two of them played the piano, drank tea and chatted happily, and Nan Ji had already barged in aggressively.All the servants couldn't stop them, and before they had time to report, Nan Ji had already barged in.

"Xie Qing! I want to see how attractive your little vixen is today!" Xie Qing was so frightened by the voice that his hands trembled, and half a cup of boiling tea was directly splashed on his hands.

Xie Qing had never felt so ashamed.He didn't care about the pain in his hands, and hurriedly stood up and held Nan Ji: "Why are you here?" He said while trying to block Yu Changqing's sight.

It's a pity that his behavior fell into Nan Ji's eyes as a cover-up, as if he was trying to protect someone.Nan Ji shouted sharply: "What did you promise me before?! How about now, you don't take a concubine, but you have a concubine!"

As if to match Nan Ji's words, as soon as Yu Changqing realized it, he quickly stood up and ran away.While running, he was still thinking, why are the people in Chang'an so open?The women in the inner court could have come directly to other people's houses, but fortunately they didn't see clearly, otherwise it would be too rude.

Nan Ji was still holding on to Xie Qing's insistence, but she didn't listen to Xie Qing's explanation, why did she run away as soon as she saw her?Only then did Xie Qing realize that Yu Changqing had run away at some point.

Xie Qing had mixed feelings in his heart.On the one hand, he was grateful to Yu Changqing for his thoughtfulness, so that he would not be more rude; on the other hand, he felt faintly that the problem could be solved only by letting Nan Ji see Yu Changqing.

Yu Changqing hurriedly ran behind the screen, only to find that there was no way out.It's really inappropriate for him to go out now, the situation is really embarrassing; he swears, he really didn't mean to hear the quarrel between husband and wife...

Nan Ji cried and fussed for quite a while, Xie Qing's repeated "This is a friend of mine, it's really a man" was drowned in her tearful complaints.

The matter came to an end temporarily when Yu Changqing couldn't stand it and had to testify. Xie Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief.Yu Changqing was very helpless: It is rude to meet with friends and family members abruptly, but is it not rude to listen to the private conversation between husband and wife?

Nan Ji scanned the room for a week unwillingly, and found that there was indeed no one else except Yu Changqing.Only then did she feel a little impolite, bowed her head to Yu Changqing, and said in a low voice: "It's a misunderstanding, my lord is laughing at you."

Yu Changqing hurriedly returned the salute, saying that it was all right, then winked at Xie Qing, and went out through the front door in a fair manner.

Seeing that Yu Changqing had left, Nan Ji immediately changed her gentle expression, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Young Master Yu, does he look good?"

Xie Qing was not sure what she meant by mentioning Yu Changqing's appearance, so he nodded ignorantly.

After Nan Ji calmed down, she looked around the room for a week, nodded and said, "Is it carefully arranged? This yard belongs to you?"

Xie Qing nodded slightly to express his acquiescence.

Nan Ji gave a sour "Yo", looked sideways at Xie Qing and said, "I didn't know you still had such a house."

Xie Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and felt that this woman had a narrow mind.But no matter what, as long as she is willing to communicate with him well, Xie Qing is still willing to be kind to her.

Xie Qing smiled and said to Nan Ji: "A'nan, I lived in this yard before I got married. It's not worth anything, so I didn't tell you. Mr. Yu came back to Chang'an with me from Pingyuan, and there is no place to stay. I often If he is not at home, it is not appropriate for him to live in our house. So I took it upon myself to tidy up the yard and let him live in it."

Nan Ji let out a "hmm", and said eccentrically, "So you also know that you don't look good if you don't go home?"

Xie Qing had a premonition, he felt that this rare and normal conversation was going to return to the quarrel of the elders, so he smiled wryly and said, "Anan, believe it or not, I'm really busy."

It was rare for Nan Ji not to continue this topic, but just sneered, "Are you busy?" It was clear that she didn't believe it.She suddenly asked in a solemn voice: "You let him live here, do you know today?"

Xie Qing was stunned and didn't understand how this matter got involved in Zhao Yanzhi's head.He nodded and said frankly to Nan Ji, "I know."

Nan Ji didn't speak any more.She has been thinking about it since she saw Yu Changqing just now, and she can't get it back now.After she asked Xie Qing, she only thought about it in her heart, Xie Qing raised a man outside and the emperor didn't want to bother, so she had fallen out of favor; so she began to worry, what would she do with her life?

If Xie Qing knew what his wife was thinking, he would probably be pissed to death; but now he is just glad that there is no quarrel again.He didn't want to pursue today's matter anymore, anyway, even if he pursued it, he would not be able to blame Nan Ji, and maybe she would scold her again; so Xie Qing softly persuaded: "Anan, you saw it too, it was all a misunderstanding , can you rest assured now? If you are relieved, I will ask someone to take you home."

"Why, isn't this your yard? I can't see it?" Nan Ji was aggressive.She thought about it, and asked suspiciously: "Is there a maid here? Call all the maids and let me have a look."

Xie Qing didn't know how many times he was shocked today, he really couldn't keep up with his wife's jumping thinking.Xie Qing hesitated for a moment, making sure that he had never bought a maid before saying to his wife: "No..."

Nan Ji made it clear that she didn't believe her, she snorted coldly and said, "No? Then don't let me find you!" She was about to walk outside.

Xie Qing's head was as big as a bucket, thinking that although this is his yard, after all, another man lives there, and his wife is running around here, how decent it is.So he hastily stopped his wife and persuaded him, "Anan, don't make trouble."

Xie Qing's actions seemed to confirm her guess.Nan Ji was about to have a fit when she heard a woman's voice coming from outside the door, which was indescribably clear and sweet: "Oh, my lord, the servant girl has found you!"
