Chapter 87

Fu Gui came in with another basin of water, and saw that the uncle was lying down, and his master was still standing on the ground, with the cold air from head to toe like a lump of ice.

Fugui lowered his head even lower, put the copper basin in front of a stool, and backed out.

Chen Jingzong sat on the stool and took off two boots one after another.

These boots have been worn all day, and the military officer who is busy training soldiers is sweating profusely. It is basically impossible for him to have no smell at all.

Chen Bozong: "...let's open the window for a while."

Chen Jingzong washed his feet with a sullen face, as if he didn't hear.

Chen Bozong endured it for a while, then got out of bed, put on his shoes and robe, and went to the south to open the window.

The cold wind of early October was blowing in.

With the window to be closed later, Chen Bozong walked to a place sheltered from the wind. From this angle, he could only see his brother's broad back and stern profile.

While he was observing, Chen Jingzong suddenly sneered: "A gentleman never loses his looks to others, nor loses his words to others. You pretend to be a real gentleman on the outside, but you come here to deceive people."

Chen Bozong looked calm: "Really, how did I deceive you?"

Chen Jingzong: "The princess has always respected the old man's mother. How could she rashly move back to the princess mansion and let the two elders go to the palace to plead guilty? She won't move at this time, and mother can't see it. You are using those words to fool meof."

Chen Bozong: "It's true that the princess respects the elders, but if you make her angry, the elders' face won't matter."

Chen Jingzong: "I'm angry with her? You really think highly of me."

Chen Bozong: "That's because some words and deeds of the princess offended you, and you moved out in a fit of anger, deliberately ignoring the princess."

Chen Jingzong: ...

Only now did he realize that he had fallen into the trap of his elder brother's words. If his elder brother asked him why he didn't go back when they met, he would definitely not say it. Now, with a few words, his elder brother guessed half of the truth.

He stopped talking.

Chen Bozong: "You are really bold, even the princess dares to be snubbed, do you want to follow the example of the emperor who bestowed four beauties on Meng Yanqing?"

It is impossible for Chen Jingzong to hit his aggressive method again.

Chen Bozong: "On August 16th, when you went out with the princess, your sister-in-law told me quietly that she felt that the relationship between you and the princess was getting better and better. At that time, I admired your ability to make the princess fall in love with you. Now I am moreI admire you, even the love of a princess can be underestimated, if you say you are indifferent, you can be indifferent, probably only a fairy that really falls from the sky will make you cherish and care for her."

Chen Jingzong: "Stop talking nonsense, you know nothing."

Chen Bozong: "Of course I don't understand princesses, I only understand you, my younger brother."

Chen Jingzong: ...

He grabbed the towel and wiped his feet, calling Fugui.

Fugui came in stooping, and the two brothers, who were standing still, didn't dare to interrupt, picked up the basin and came out again.

Chen Jingzong took off his outer robe and got into bed first.

Chen Bozong walked around the room and found that there was no smell, so he also closed the window, turned off the copper lamp, and lay down on his bed.

The quilts of the two brothers were spread very close to each other, but Chen Jingzong deliberately slept on the side with his back to his elder brother.

Chen Bozong sighed, and said to the dark roof: "I still remember that before we came to Beijing, you were only three years old, and sometimes you would come to my room and insist on sleeping with me."

Chen Jingzong: "Shut up, why didn't you say that you still liked to gnaw your own feet when you were three years old."

Chen Bozong: "Maybe it's as you said, but I don't remember, I only remember what happened when you were a child."

Chen Jingzong: "Just keep nagging, believe it or not, I'll go to sleep with Fugui?"

Chen Bozong: "I am here to persuade you by the order of my mother. If you don't go back for a day, I will come for a day. There will only be more nagging, unless you are so cruel that you don't see me every time, and you have the heart to make your sister-in-law worry at home.Ask Wan Yi Da Lang to worry if something happened to me. It’s dark and the road is far away, and I’m not as good as you, so I might accidentally fall off my horse..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Jingzong threw the pillow over and hit him on the face.

Chen Bozong moved the pillow away: "Tell me, why is the princess angry with you? Did she accuse you of being rude, or did she dislike you for not being clean?"

Chen Jingzong: "You two seem to be saying that I have to blame myself for being angry, and she is not at fault at all."

Chen Bozong: "Forgive me for my limited knowledge, I really can't imagine how the princess will offend you."

Chen Jingzong snorted heavily.

He was angry, but no matter how angry Princess Nan Kang was, it was related to the reputation of the other party, and Chen Jingzong couldn't tell his brother Nankang's stupid words.

Chen Bozong: "Don't mention that, you and the princess have been married for almost three years, and you have a little affection for each other. Now that you have directly ignored the princess for more than half a month, are you afraid of losing that little affection?"

Chen Jingzong: "I didn't neglect her, and I don't have that ability. If you are anxious with your mother, she might wish that I didn't go back."

The husband of an ordinary family ignores his wife for half a month, that's called neglect, he's just a son-in-law...

Chen Bozong: "I understand. You were hurt by the princess. If you run back to your mother's house in a fit of anger, you have to wait for the princess to pick you up before you calm down, right?"

Chen Jingzong: "... Seeing that you are a literati, I don't bother to beat you."

Chen Bozong: "Okay, you are my younger brother after all, I still prefer you, I will tell my mother tomorrow and let her coax the princess to come to the guard to pick you up in person."

Chen Jingzong: ...

He clenched his fists tightly, hesitating whether to punch his brother.

When he was hesitant, Chen Bozong fell asleep, and the errands in Dali Temple were not idle, and after riding so long on a hungry stomach, Chen Bozong was really tired.

Although tired, the next day it was still pitch black outside, Chen Bozong woke up, went down to the kang in the dark, lit the copper lamp, and took a look before mentioning the omission.

Fortunately, there is no early morning today, he is leaving now, and he can rush to Dali Temple in time to be on errand.

When Chen Bozong got dressed and was about to go out, Chen Jingzong who seemed to be sleeping in the bed suddenly said: "I will go back tonight, you don't need to come again."

The days are getting colder and getting dark earlier.

After dinner, Hua Yang was ready to go to bed.

The four maidservants silently waited for the princess to change her clothes.

In the past, the son-in-law would go back to the mansion almost every day, and the princess would either read a book after dinner, or ask them to play chess. When the son-in-law came back, they would sleep with him.

Now that the son-in-law is not coming back, there is no need for the princess to purposely find something to pass the time. When winter comes, of course she should get into bed early to feel comfortable.

"What is the son-in-law angry about?"

Tonight it was time for Chaoyun's vigil. After the princess fell asleep, Chaoyue, Chaolu, and Chao Lan went back to their small courtyard together. Although Chaoyue lived in another room, she also brought the footbath to the next door. The three sisters gathered together.Talk together.

"Who knows? I tested the princess twice, and the princess acted as if nothing had happened. She didn't seem to care much if she didn't say anything."

"It's better if you don't care. If the princess cares, the princess will be so sad if the son-in-law doesn't come back for so long!"

"Yes, as long as the princess is happy, it doesn't matter where the son-in-law lives. If he doesn't come back, the princess can go to bed early!"

After washing their feet and talking, Chaoyue went to the next door, Chaolu and Chao Lan also took off their clothes and got into bed.

Before the bed was warmed up, there was a rush of footsteps, followed by Zhen'er's eager voice: "Sisters, are you asleep? The son-in-law is back!"

The little maids do rough work, and the real errands of serving the masters have to be done by the big maids!

After a period of turmoil, Chaolu, Chao Lan, and Chaoyue checked each other's appearance, made sure that they were correct, and hurried to the main courtyard together.

On the backyard side, the son-in-law hadn't come yet, and the inner room, the second room, and the main room were not lit. Chaoyun was standing under the eaves holding a lantern.

Chaolu breathed out a cloud of white mist, and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you light the lamp?"

Chao Yun snorted and said, "Princess is already asleep, what to order, since the son-in-law is coming back, he should say hello in advance, you should not expect him to come back when he wants, the princess will treat him with a good temper."

This was right, and the three maids thought it was true, but Chaolu still asked curiously, "Have you reported it to the princess?"

Chaoyun nodded.

Chaolu: "The princess told you not to light the lamp?"

Chao Yun: "The princess only hummed, but didn't say anything else."

The four maidservants have been with the princess since they were seven or eight years old, and they understand that the princess's "hmm" is actually a chance for the son-in-law. If the son-in-law is in a hurry or wants to see the princess, the princess is also willing to see her.

After waiting for a while, a lamp appeared in the corridor, and the person carrying the lamp was naturally the son-in-law.

They couldn't see clearly from a distance, but when the son-in-law approached, the four maidservants realized that the son-in-law must have bathed and his temple hair was still wet.

Chen Jingzong looked at the four big maids standing in a row with different expressions, then looked at the dark rooms behind, and asked, "Is the princess asleep?"

Chaoyue: "Yes, the son-in-law is back at this time, but what happened?"

This was a bit ironic, if the son-in-law was just busy with military training, it would be fine to say hello in advance and live outside for half a year or a year, but they all knew that the son-in-law would leave with anger, and living outside would mean losing his temper with the princess.Fortunately, the status of the princess is different. If she is an ordinary woman, her husband will not come back for more than half a month out of anger. This woman will be sympathized with.

Chen Jingzong: "Prepare the meal."

After speaking, he walked directly to the main room.

The four maidservants had a lot of momentum, and when they met the tall figure of the son-in-law who was approaching gradually, with a chilly air all over their body, the four maidservants subconsciously moved out of the way and watched the son-in-law enter.

Of course, it was because the princess didn't signal them to stop the son-in-law, otherwise they would have to protect the princess even if they were beaten by the son-in-law.

After looking at each other for a moment, Chaoyue went to the kitchen.

Chao Lan went to prepare hot tea for the son-in-law, Chao Yun and Chaolu walked in, and found that the son-in-law had actually lit the lamp in the second room, and the man was already sitting on it, and made it clear that he wanted to eat in the second room as before.

A quarter of an hour later, Chaoyue came over with a steaming bowl of noodles, and said in a low voice, "The kitchen didn't know that the son-in-law was coming back, and there was no food left. Eunuch Feng cooked a bowl of noodles first. If the son-in-law wants to eat something else, I'll eat it later."Let Eunuch Feng do it again."

Chen Jingzong: "Just eat noodles, you don't need to serve here."

None of the four maidservants moved.

Chen Jingzong sneered: "Don't worry, I don't have the courage to do anything to the princess yet."

The four maidservants temporarily retreated to the main room.

Chen Jingzong glanced at the door of the inner room, lowered his head and ate the noodles.

He ate in a hurry, but he didn't make much noise, but the night was too quiet, even though there was a door, a screen, and a veil, Hua Yang who was sleeping on Ba Bu's bed could still hear it.

She was already a little drowsy, but when she learned that Chen Jingzong had returned to the mansion, she regained her energy. She didn't know if something happened, and she didn't know what he was angry about these days.

If it's just for Nan Kang, his temper is really big enough.

After Chen Jingzong finished eating a bowl of noodles and drinking the soup, he rinsed his mouth and asked the servant girls to come in to clean up.

Chaoyun entered the door first, and saw that the son-in-law had already pushed open the door of the inner room, leaving only a glimpse of her back.

The four maidservants guarded the room silently, and if there was anything wrong inside, they would rush in to protect the lord.

inner room.

Chen Jingzong did not light the lamp, walked to the special cage for quilts, and pulled out a quilt.

He entered the Babu bed, spread the quilt skillfully on the ground, and then took off the empty quilt on the bed, regardless of whether the princess on the bed was awake or not, he just lay down.

Hua Yang heard his breathing, like the wind outside the window, heavy.

She lay silent.

But it's winter now, and it's winter in Capital City. Even if the ground dragon is burned and people sleep on the ground, people are prone to catch cold and get sick.

Hua Yang suddenly sneered.

The man on the ground took a breath.

Hua Yang: "Either you don't come back, or you sleep in the front yard, and come to my side to make a bed on the floor. You know that I am a fairy who has descended to the earth, and you tend to soften your heart. You want me to sleep on purpose, don't you?"

No matter how beautiful she is, she has never regarded herself as a fairy. These words were said by Chen Jingzong himself at the beginning, to ridicule her for being so kind.

Chen Jingzong: "I don't want to come back either, my mother insists on urging me, what can I do."

Hua Yang: "You can sleep in the front yard."

Chen Jingzong: "I can go back to the front yard, but I'm afraid that after a long time, if you can't see my people, you will blame me for sleeping in front of you as a maid., that’s really indisputable.”

Hua Yang: ...

"Just because I stabbed you to be interested in Nan Kang, are you so angry?"

Chen Jingzong: "Scholars can be killed, but not humiliated."

Hua Yang: "You still insult me for being interested in big brother and third brother, what did I say?"

Chen Jingzong: "You are not angry because you know that I just said it casually, and I don't really suspect that you will have anything with them."

Hua Yang: "I just said casually, you are my son-in-law now, how could you covet other women."

Chen Jingzong: "What you mean is that if I am not your son-in-law, if you give me a white and beautiful woman, I will jump on it."

Hua Yang snorted: "You will. When you and I were newly married, I was just a white and beautiful woman to you. If you treated me as a princess, I wouldn't be so vulgar."

She never thought that her handsome son-in-law would hug her and call him ancestor on the first night, he was neither gentle nor elegant.

Chen Jingzong: "...You also said that you are newly married, and it is only natural for me to rush to you."

Hua Yang pulled up the quilt and covered his ears.

Chen Jingzong sat up, his vision was blurred, and he could only see an indistinct figure raised up by the bed.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I rushed at you because you are white and beautiful, but I don't just come to anyone who is white and beautiful, I will treat him as my ancestor."

The cover of the quilt made Hua Yang's voice muffled: "That's, it's not the princess's. You can sleep if you want, so there's no need to accommodate the other party. Don't tell me, if I'm not the princess, I can do it on the first night."kill me."

Chen Jingzong: "... dare I say so many things, you only remember this?"

Hua Yang: "What other serious things did you say?"

Chen Jingzong was silent.

Just when Hua Yang thought he was speechless, the quilt on his head was suddenly lifted by him.

Before Hua Yang took two breaths of fresh air, someone pinched his earlobe suddenly.

Chen Jingzong twitched slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I said, I only want you, not to mention every other night, every month, every other year, as long as you are willing to give it. I also said that even if youOne day you divorce me, I won't look for anyone else, but I will go to the princess mansion to look for you. You can't remember these, can you? "

Hua Yang: "You call these serious?"

Chen Jingzong: "If I think so in my heart, they are all serious words. Some people swear to you forever, but they may not really think so in their hearts."

Hua Yang was speechless.

Chen Jingzong: "Remember anyway, it doesn't matter if you say anything about me, if you treat me like a pig who can sleep with any woman and is willing to serve, I..."

Hua Yang is listening, but to see what harsh words he will say.

Chen Jingzong pinched her earlobe, thought for a while, and only thought of a feasible family that would not interfere: "I will sleep on the ground every night, not even touching you, a fairy, to prove my innocence."

Hua Yang: ...
