Chapter 60: This Prince Doesn’t Quite Understand Your Childhood Sweethearts...

"What did you say?" Yun Fenghuang struggled a few times but couldn't get out. Instead, he felt his thumb gently rubbing the skin on his wrist. He became furious, slapped him again with his backhand, and sneered, "You said you agreed to your oath and had no descendants. Are you sorry, come to beg me to let you go? Or Chao Jingyou made a special trip to Xie's Mansion to taunt you, but it was still not enough to vent the grievances of that wretched maid who was suppressed by me all those years. The wind blowing from your pillow made you, my newlywed husband, pursue you into the palace. Come and find a place for her?!"

Qi Jiulu wanted to hide this time, but in the middle of the evasive movement, he caught a glimpse of her face full of anger, and his heart softened. He subconsciously stopped and fought hard again. Fang frowned and said, "Did Chao Jingyou go to Xie Mansion to trouble you?"

When he mentioned his newlywed wife, his tone was cold and straightforward, without the slightest trace of affection. Yun Fenghuang noticed it, sneered in his heart, and said coldly: "It has never been a secret how jealous that bastard is towards me. How could she let go of the opportunity to add insult to injury?" Passed?! Why are you pretending to be confused!"

"I don't like her either..." Qi Jiulu quickly explained, but he was interrupted just as he started: "You said that in front of me, in front of that bitch, I'm afraid you will criticize me in every possible way. Do you want to please her? But after three years without seeing you, Qi Jiulu, you have become more capable, and you are becoming more and more coaxing..."

Qi Jiulu coughed dryly and said warmly: "I hope that my ability to coax people will really improve. I don't want to coax you right away, but give me a chance to explain."

Yunfeng Huanghan said in a cold voice: "Do you think I will still believe you now that things have happened? Why should I believe you!"

"Yungui people!" Gong Xiangxiao, who was watching, repeatedly told himself that this was a matter between his childhood sweethearts. As an outsider, especially one who had tried to have something to do with Yun Fenghuang, he should shut up and pretend that he didn't exist at all.

but!

He really felt that he couldn't stand it anymore, "If Brother Xinyun really doesn't have you in his heart, why would the newlywed Yan'er come all the way from the North to the Imperial Capital? Moreover, Brother Xinyun's name was his own insistence on it, Yun. The beauty of the bamboo skin, the bamboo in the noble lady's name is bamboo field... What is the meaning of the word "Xin Yun", the noble Bingxue is smart, how can you not know?"

Yun Fenghuang sneered and glanced at him sideways: "I know, of course I know! I am not talented, and I was praised by my teacher when I was young. Xinyun, my heart cares about the beauty of bamboo skin, which shows that this bastard has great influence on me. You can’t forget her beauty, right? But now I’m a concubine in the palace, is that what he wanted me to be?”

Gong Xiangxiao: "!!!"

He tried to help again, "It is said that Brother Xinyun's current wife is also very beautiful. In terms of beauty, she may not be inferior to nobles. If Brother Xinyun is a person who is greedy for beauty, how could he..."

"The prince is not yet married, and he doesn't look like an unscrupulous person who would pry into the wives' houses." In the end, it was okay if he didn't say that. As soon as he said that, Yun Fenghuang became even more furious and glared at Qi Jiulu, "In that case , how did the prince know that the humble maid Shumei is very beautiful?!"

She quickly came to the conclusion, "You must be very proud of marrying that bitch, and you are too flamboyant. Only then did the Crown Prince find out! Is that true?! Counting the days, you have only been in the Imperial Capital for a few days. You...you Qi Jiulu really has a deep love for that wretched maid! He couldn't help but praise her when we first came here these few days! Could it be that before you and I broke off our engagement, you were treating her..."

"It's nothing!" Qi Jiulu looked at the prince with accusing eyes, and his eyes clearly said, "I treat the prince with sincerity, why did the prince harm me like this?" "I have never mentioned Chao Jingyou in front of anyone, let alone She is said to be extremely beautiful, but how can she be worthy of comparing with you in terms of beauty, talent, and virtue?"

Seeing that Yun Fenghuang was unmoved, he sighed and said softly, "In my opinion, there is no one more virtuous and beautiful than you in this world!"

He said this categorically and naturally, while Gong Xiangxiao was stunned and dumbfounded. He retreated to the corner silently for a long time, thinking that a lonely person like me doesn't understand your childhood sweetheart... Yun Fenghuang, who has nothing but beauty, is prone to acting like a sweetheart. The master who wanted to murder his lover, how blind was Qi Jiulu to associate the word "virtuous" with her?

Doesn't your conscience hurt...

Originally, no matter whether it was the message sent last time or the one leading the way this time, with the dignity of Gong Xiangxiao, there was no need to go there in person.

But he still insisted on taking action. The reason why he did this was not only to close the relationship with Qi Jiulu, but also because he was curious about Yun Fenghuang, a woman who said frankly, "I am so good at sleeping clothes." How could Qi Jiulu still be obsessed with Qi Jiulu after they got married, even if he had nothing to do with being virtuous and virtuous, and would risk the world's disapproval to continue their relationship?

...Now he sees it, well, regardless of whether Yun Fenghuang's methods are clever or not, this Qi Jiulu is really unsatisfactory... Why should a man have no wife? No, you already have a wife, why do you need to be so humble to your former lover? It has completely disgraced the dignity of the noble men like me...

Gong Xiangxiao was thinking in confusion when he heard Yun Fenghuang sneer and say: "I don't need you to praise me to know how virtuous, graceful and beautiful I am! However, there are those kind of baseless people in this world who will let jade Ruanhuarou doesn’t want it, but she wants to find that bitchy maid to make out with her!”

"...I married her for you." Qi Jiulu was silent for a while and said slowly, "Aunt Jiang told me that you were sent to the palace by Duke Yi's Palace, but I came to the Imperial Capital from the Regent's Palace. Way. In order to prevent Concubine Yun Shu and others from suspecting that you are having an affair with the Prince Regent, I can only marry Chao Jingyou, who is at odds with you, to show that after we break off the engagement, we will no longer have anything to do with each other, or even turn against each other!"

The Qi family's previous generation had a legitimate daughter who married into Jiang's natal family, so she had some kind of indirect relationship. Before the two families got engaged, Qi Jiulu called Jiang's aunt.

When mentioning his own mother, Yun Fenghuang, who was originally furious, fell silent and said calmly: "My mother told you? My aunt came into the palace two days ago and said that she didn't dare to tell my mother about this matter. I didn't expect her Already know it.”

She actually understood that such a big thing could not be hidden by Xie without confessing to Jiang. Jiang was so meticulous in his work. Even if she knew that Xie was not a mean person, she would not treat her brother and sister-in-law poorly while taking the benefits given by her brother and sister-in-law. It was about the brother-in-law's only legitimate daughter, but it was absolutely impossible for her daughter to come all the way to the Imperial Capital to live under someone else's roof with just Nianxuan.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of transferring the dowry to the Imperial Capital, many cronies were placed in those shops.

Those people were inquiring about Yunju's family every now and then, and reported it to their mistress.

But she didn't expect Jiang to receive the news so early. Calculating the time, she was still learning the rules outside the palace, and her mother already knew about it.

...I wonder how sad she was when she heard the news?

Thinking of the scene after Xie Fenghuan's accident, when Jiang held herself and cried heartbrokenly, saying that she would only have this daughter from now on... Yun Fenghuang pinched his palms hard, held back his tears, and said coldly, "It's just you and me. The relationship has long been over, why is she telling you this?"

Qi Jiulu looked at her and said, "If you and I have no relationship, why do you hate me so much for marrying Chao Jingyou?"

Yun Fenghuang sneered: "I can't stand that bitch, can't I?"

"..." Qi Jiulu didn't dare to quarrel with her, thinking that it would be wrong to say more, so he decided to just talk about the topic. Yun Fenghuang was willing to see him tonight just for this reason, and it was always right to say this, "I will marry She also has a reason, your sister's death is related to the Chao family."

Yun Fenghuang glanced at him and said uninterestedly: "That's it?"

"You know?" Qi Jiulu was startled and said, "How about you didn't take Chao Jingyou when you left Beidi?"

This is not Yun Fenghuang!

His ex-fiancée has always wanted to retaliate for her grievances since she was a child. She has always preferred me to betray the world, rather than the world betraying me. When Xie Fenghuan Hongxing cheated on her, the entire Xie family was implicated in the disgraceful situation, not to mention Yun Fenghuang's own experience. Having said that...according to her nature, it's not surprising that the entire Chao family had cramps and skinned, but she actually came to the imperial capital quietly?

Yun Fenghuang sneered when he heard this: "Then what do you think I'm going to do to make you swear that you won't marry Chao Jingyou to anyone?!"

Qi Jiulu said sadly: "That's it! I just say that you don't like her..."

"What?!" Yun Fenghuang, who had just softened up a bit, immediately became angry again, "If it was just me who didn't like her and her family had nothing to do with my sister's death, you were going to marry her, right?! You bastard! Back then How did you promise me your promise? But it has only been three years, and you have forgotten all about it! You would rather marry her despite the oath of annihilation! You...you..."

In the middle of her attack, she suddenly couldn't bear it any longer. Tears fell one after another and she choked, "Why do you still have the nerve to come see me!!!"

Qi Jiulu was silent for a while and said softly: "After I came back from Kongquepo, I was imprisoned in the ancestral hall for half a year. My father was very cruel and said that I would not be allowed to come out until I admitted my mistake. At that time, I thought that you were no longer in Beidi. What else should I do out there? I could just live my whole life in the ancestral hall, but I would still be clean. But half a year later, Aunt Jiang sent someone a message to me, saying that the future is long, and the reason why we broke off the engagement in the first place was ultimately my fault. Just the eldest son cannot be the master of the Qi family. You and I are still young, so why not endure the anger for a while and pretend to follow the clan, and when the power is in hand, who do I want to marry, how can they have any say?!"

These words convinced Qi Jiulu, and he pretended to have figured it out, poured tea for the head of the Qi family, Chen family, and others to admit his mistake, and gained their trust with sweet words. Originally, the two generations of the Qi family had little interest, and Qi Jiulu's two younger brothers were not of much use. His position in the clan was stable. Even though he caused a lot of trouble over Yun Fenghuang, it is not surprising that a young man would be trapped by love for a while. .

Therefore, after changing his attitude, he immediately restored his previous status and treatment, and began to actively seize power.

However, just when he had gained a little, the head of the Qi family mentioned his marriage again, and this time Chen finally got his wish.

There are only a few families in Beidi who are qualified to match the Qi family. Of course, Xie Fenghuan's incident will bear the brunt of the impact on the Xie family's family, and the second one will be the nieces of the Jiang family, because it is known that she was raised by the Jiang family, and Jiang family naturally inherited the Jiang family's tutoring.

Excluding the girls from the Xie family and the Jiang family, although there is not only one Chao family to choose from, Yun Fenghuang was very popular in the Northland before and was recognized as a virtuous and virtuous woman with both talent and beauty... No matter what her nature was, Xie Fenghuan was still a girl before the accident. Everyone outside thinks so.

At that time, the only person who was qualified to compare with her was Chao Jingyou.

Mrs. Chen took advantage of the situation and said to the elders in the clan: "It is not my family's fault to break away from the marriage. How can my son be weaker than that woman from a family who does not abide by women's ethics now that he is marrying a woman?! Otherwise, if word spreads, it will be said that besides the Xie family, my son Girl, I can’t marry a good one!”

These words convinced everyone in the Qi family, because they knew that Qi Jiulu didn't like Chao Jingyou, and even because of Yun Fenghuang's domineering attitude, he was indifferent to the entire Chao family. It couldn't be said that he was overtly disgusted, but he was definitely not close to her. Mrs. Chen was worried that he would object to the marriage, so she cut the knot quickly and exchanged the marriage certificates. Then she called her son to inform him.

Yun Fenghuang's face fell like water when he heard this, but he sneered in his heart. The more Chen did this, the more Qi Jiulu hated Chao Jingyou, and even he no longer had any good impressions of Chen's own mother... Although When they were in the Northland, Yun Fenghuang teamed up with Jiang's mother and daughter, and frequently drove a wedge between mother and son.

But this time it can be said that it was Chen's own doing.

"If it were the past, I would probably make a big fuss and threaten death." When Qi Jiulu said this, his tone was calm, but there was a deep chill in his eyes, "But I already did this in order not to break off the engagement. It turned out to be useless. So this time, I decided to listen to Aunt Jiang."

He accepted the marriage calmly, at least on the surface.

Then he put forward the request to become an official in Beijing.

Yun Fenghuang frowned: "Will your family agree?"

"Why don't you agree?" Qi Jiulu smiled strangely, "Do you think the elders and my father would really agree to hand over the marriage of my eldest son just because of a few words from a woman of the Chen family?"

Yun Fenghuang's eyelids twitched. She always felt that some answer was about to come out but was still a little short of it. Her heartbeat gradually accelerated. She licked her lips and asked in a deep voice: "What?"

Qi Jiulu was about to answer, but when he saw her action, he couldn't help but stare for a moment, and finally turned to look at Gong Xiangxiao who was listening attentively: "Your Majesty, is there any water?"
