The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 83
When King An rushed over, Zhao Chen and his wife had already left, and only Tang Ying was standing in the garden.

The winter garden was bleak and desolate, and he was dressed in a crimson brocade robe, the color of dried blood from a distance, like the killing spirit in his bones.

King An stopped in his tracks, staring blankly at his eldest son, he couldn't figure out, why did his eldest son become like this after he left everything to him?When Tang Ying was a child, how much she liked to laugh.

"Aying, what did you play today?" Wang An walked to Tang Ying's side and asked with a frown.He had already heard about the matter here, probably, Tang Ju might look down on Zhao Chen's background, but he was not smart enough to humiliate people in this way, it must be instigated by Tang Ying.

Tang Ying turned around slowly, and looked at Wang An puzzledly: "What do you mean by this, King Father? I was fascinated by reading in the study today, and when I remembered that they were about to come, I hurried over here, and I happened to bump into my second brother making a fuss. I reprimanded him. Father, don't worry, I have already apologized to Zhao Chen, but unfortunately he has a bad temper, so he led his wife away."

"Do you think I'm old-fashioned?" An Chaotang Tangying took a step closer, his eyes were sharp, and he seemed to be able to see through his mind.

Tang Ying was unmoved, and still had that questioning expression, "Why did the father say such a thing?"

King An clenched his fists, glanced around, and made sure that the father and son's conversation would not be heard, and warned in a deep voice: "Don't pretend to be confused with me, I know what you are thinking, it is nothing more than fear of reconciliation between the Zhao family and the princess. In the future, the princess and your second brother will be backed by the Zhao family. Ah Ying, you are the son of the royal family and the future King An. Your second brother will not be able to overwhelm you no matter what, let alone he has been disabled by you. You know but you don’t care, isn’t it just to make you feel at ease?”

Tang Ying was expressionless, "Father is overthinking, I haven't thought about it."

Wang An smiled wryly. How long has it been since you had a heart-to-heart relationship with this son?Seems like it started after his mother passed away?

He softened his voice slightly, and said with his hands behind his back: "Aying, the father invited them here, do you think it is because of the princess? The princess hates the Zhao family in her heart, and it can't be resolved by a few words. At most, she can do some superficial work. Your second brother has a temperament like that." If you don’t offend anyone, it’s fine, who else can you win? I’m all here to make friends with Marquis Yanping, if you cause trouble in the future, more than one person can speak for you in front of the emperor.”

"When did I get into trouble? Those people are all to blame, and my son is still justified in front of the emperor, why should others talk too much?" Tang Ying said lightly.

Wang An felt a headache when he refused to enter, and lowered his voice again: "Okay, okay, you are right, those who were beaten to death by you deserved their crimes, but what about today? You want to provoke the relationship between your second brother and the Zhao family Just teach him to say some nasty things. Why humiliate Zhao Chen and his wife so much? Don’t you know what kind of person Zhao Yunting is? Don’t talk about whether Zhao Yunting will take revenge on you if this matter gets to Zhao Yunting’s ears. Just talk about Zhao Chen. I heard that he is a good-looking talent with a bright future, why do you have to set up such two enemies for yourself?"

Tang Ying smiled, quite innocently: "Why doesn't my father understand? It's my second younger brother who caused trouble today, and it has nothing to do with me. When did I become such a vicious person in my father's heart? Besides, Zhao No matter how much your family is valued by the emperor, it is still a courtier, but our palace is a royal family, so my father doesn't have to think so lowly of himself. If my father put down his dignity to make friends with the Zhao family because of me, then I hope my father will stop here , my son would rather be scolded by the emperor than see his father condescend to please his courtiers."

"you……"

"Second brother was injured, I don't know what's going on, father, would you like to go over with me to have a look?" Tang Ying asked worriedly, interrupting the long speech that Wang An had not spoken, and then, without waiting for Wang An to reply, he went go forward.

Wang An stopped in place for a moment to calm down the depression in his chest, and then followed.

Before the father and son arrived at Princess An's yard, they had already heard Tang Ju's swearing, and they raised each other in the countryside.

Wang An's face was gloomy, and he strode in. After entering the room, he saw Tang Ju wearing a white underwear and lying on the bed pressed down by the princess. Although his face was pale, he was full of anger. , He is your uncle, what should you say? The sentence is vulgar, you ask others, who is more like a country boy?"

Tang Ju didn't have Tang Ying's confidence. He was scared to shut up by King An's stern voice. When he was silent, he caught a glimpse of his elder brother winking at him from behind his father, and raised his hand to touch his chest. Clothes hem, weeping dryly: "Who told him to hit me? Father, look, look, I was almost kicked to death by him!"

Wang An's eyes were fixed, and he saw a red footprint on the fair chest of his youngest son Tender Tofu, which was particularly glaring.

How could he not feel sorry for his own son?That Zhao Chen actually made such a heavy hand?

Since he entered the house, Princess An has been pressing the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and she couldn't help crying at this moment: "My lord, you have to make the decision for Ah Ju. He has never suffered from being pampered and spoiled in the palace. When he goes outside, others know him. He is the prince's son, and he gave way to him everywhere, how could he almost be kicked and killed half his life today?" If she had known that Zhao Chen was so cruel, she would rather annoy the prince than agree to invite them over, so she just If something happens to this son, how can she survive?

King An was silent, and Tang Ying stepped forward to make amends: "Mother, I did not take good care of my second brother. If mother wants to blame me, please blame me. In the morning, my second brother asked me if I could play with the maids. I thought I would see my father and mother in the front yard. Guest, it’s okay for the second brother to play in the garden. Who would have thought that their husband and wife would go to the garden? It must be that the country people have never seen the world and were fascinated by the scenery of our palace... Anyway, as the elder brother, I let the second brother suffer. I ask my mother to punish me for this suffering."

"Don't blame yourself, son. It's my mother who didn't teach your second brother well. It's been hard for you to discipline him for me. How can you keep an eye on him all the time?" Princess An wiped her tears with her back to Tang Ying. He clenched the handkerchief tightly.

What happened today, it was Zhao Chen who hurt others, and it was Tang Ying who pushed her son out to offend others, but so what if she knew?The prince dotes on Tang Ying, and Tang Ying is good at superficiality. If she really dares to hold on to Tang Ying's faults, the prince will immediately feel that she can't tolerate others, and the fault is all her in the end.

Who is she to blame?

The Zhao family, if it wasn't for them, the Ning family would be fine. She has her mother's family behind her, and her son has his grandfather and uncle to help him, so he would never have fallen to where he is today.Tang Ying was helpless, the Zhao family...

"My lord, you have to make the decision for Ah Ju!" Princess An cried and stood up, throwing herself on Wang An.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Tang Ying's mouth, and she turned and left the room.

King An patted his wife on the back, signaled to the maids to take good care of Tang Ju, and helped his wife go elsewhere to appease him.

For three days in a row, King An rested in Princess An's room, showing all kinds of tenderness, but he did not mention Zhao Chen's wounding that day.

In a blink of an eye, it is New Year's Eve.

Before dawn, the sound of firecrackers was heard one after another in the street.

The sound of firecrackers was so loud that it almost drowned out the movement of the couple in the bed.

Ah Ju folded her hands on the pillow, only in this way the pillow would not fall off during the man's attack again and again, her arms were exposed in the cool air outside, but she still felt hot.The forehead was pressed against the pillow, and through the gap between the pillow and the quilt, they could see the bodies of the two of them in the dark. They tilted their heads, but they didn't want Zhao Chen to see her appearance at this time.

"It's about to start..." She urged him vaguely.

Ah Ju wanted to cover her face with the corner of the quilt, Zhao Chen pressed her hand to help her cover the corner of the quilt under her chin, so that her charming little face that had just been moisturized was exposed, and kissed her from time to time.Ah Ju's heart is sweet, but also very shy.Since that night, Zhao Chen's tossing became more and more serious at night. She couldn't bear it last night and was determined not to ask for it anymore, so he stayed until this morning.

How can this be so?

Although the two of them haven't been in the same room for a long time, and he is full of vitality, but it's not good to have too many times, right?
"It's time for you to get up and practice martial arts." Ah Ju reminded in a low voice.He was abandoned on the boat for half a month, and he didn't pick it up again after he came to the capital.

Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment, a smile flashed quickly in his eyes, he put his arms around humanity and said: "Why, do you think my fighting power is not good enough?"

Ah Ju didn't react for a while, and realized that her neck was red, and hurriedly defended: "No, I, I just watched you practice martial arts every morning when you were in Tongwan, and you haven't practiced recently, I'm afraid you are unfamiliar." I really hope his combat power is a few percent weaker.

In fact, he wanted him to get up early to practice martial arts and not pester her, right?

Zhao Chen knew it well, and deliberately teased her: "Ah Ju, if I persist in practicing martial arts, I will be more heroic at night. Can you take on the challenge? How about you practice with me, and then we will draw, like now you are not me at all. My opponent, every time I was in the middle of a fight, you were so eager to surrender that I had to stop and wait for you to regain morale before I could continue."

The more he talked, the more nasty he was, Ah Ju didn't want to talk to him anymore, and couldn't hide under the covers, so she turned her head and buried her in the pillow.

Zhao Chen fell in love with his wife's delicate appearance, leaned up and chased her ear to kiss, the two of them tossed and turned in circles under the covers, and in the end, it was Ah Ju who noticed that General Zhao seemed to be reviving, so he hurriedly stopped, hugged her The man begged for mercy: "Stop making trouble, get up quickly, there are too many things to do today!"

"Then you promise to practice martial arts with me." Zhao Chen pressed her to make a condition.

Ah Ju frowned: "What kind of martial arts do I practice?"

"I'll teach you to squat." Zhao Chen said with a smile.

Ah Ju saw her younger brother squatting, but she was not interested at all. Zhao Chen went to her ear and explained in time: "Don't worry, men and women squat differently, you will know tonight."

at night?

Ah Ju pushed him hard, already realizing that he must have thought of something bad again.

Zhao Chen chuckled, pulled off the clothes and helped her put them on.

After tidying up, the couple went to Rongshou Hall to pay their respects to Mrs. Tai.

Ah Ju didn't know what Zhao Chen told Mrs. Tai last time. Now Mrs. Tai still doesn't like her. She didn't even pretend to be the loving grandmother at the beginning, but she didn't do anything against her, and occasionally said something. After a few stabs, Ah Ju didn't take it to heart.

On the way, I met Zhao Qing and Zhao Han and came together.

Zhao Qing stopped in the distance, with a gentle smile in the morning light, Zhao Han looked at Ah Ju a little lonely, turned and left first.

Ah Ju looked at Zhao Han's back, feeling a little complicated.

After coming to the Hou Mansion for so long, Jinmo Cuiyu and the others have already inquired clearly about many things, so Aju knew that Zhao Qing and Zhao Han brothers were taught by Zhao Yunting himself, and the number of times they met with their biological mother every month can be counted on the fingers.Zhao Han was slightly better than Zhao Qing. He usually saw Qin Shi when he came to Rongshou Hall to pay his respects, but he didn't talk much.

That's why Zhao Han appears to be well-behaved and sensible?
Every time I saw Zhao Han clearly wanted to call them but Zhao Chen didn't dare to speak, Ah Ju felt that this child was a bit pitiful.

But she never thought of persuading Zhao Chen to accept this younger brother.She is not Zhao Chen, she has never experienced his suffering, and cannot understand his hatred, but looking at Zhao Han, thinking that he can make her feel sympathetic just because he is neglected by his half-brother, what about the former Zhao Chen?At the age of seven, he didn't know that his mother was still alive, his father married the stepmother who killed his mother, and the stepmother wanted to harm him. When he was walking alone in this yard, could anyone feel sympathy for his back?

Compared with Zhao Chen, Zhao Han is already very happy. Zhao Chen can grow into an indomitable man. As long as Zhao Han works hard, he can do it if he wants to.

"Second brother." She greeted Zhao Qing with a smile.

Her cheeks are white and rosy, like peach blossoms blooming in spring, adding warmth to this festive but still cold winter morning.Zhao Qing's mood lightened unconsciously, and after exchanging pleasantries, he turned to Zhao Chen's other side and walked with him.

"Second brother is going to take the college exam in April?" Zhao Chen asked casually.Unlike him, his father was going to let Zhao Qing take the imperial examination.

Zhao Qing smiled: "Yes, my father said that I don't have the talent to practice martial arts, and I can only study. I will try first this year, and I will be the best in the exam. If I fail the exam, I will see the world."

Zhao Chen had seen Zhao Qing's handwriting, it was elegant and handsome, and his handwriting was like his own, so he must have some talent to learn it, so he said: "You are the best at reading, but elder brother believes that you can get in the list, so don't worry too much."

"Borrowing my elder brother's good words." Zhao Qing said modestly.

Zhao Chen looked at him again, patted him on the shoulder and said: "But you should also pay attention to rest, usually go out for a walk, and build up your body. Can you ride a horse? When the spring is warm, let's go for a couple of runs outside the city together. lock up."

Zhao Qing's eyes lit up: "Okay, big brother meets, I will definitely accompany you, but I am not good at equestrian skills, so don't laugh when big brother sees you."

Zhao Chen shook his head with a smile, and said something else.

Ah Ju was listening on the sidelines, looking at Zhao Chen quietly from time to time, seeing that he and Zhao Qing had a happy conversation, she couldn't help feeling that her husband was quite open-minded, and didn't look down on Zhao Qing or ignore him just because Zhao Qing's mother was an aunt .

Being peeked by his wife, Zhao Chen noticed it, and when Ah Ju looked over again, he turned his head to look at her, with a gentle smile in his star-like phoenix eyes.

Ah Ju quickly turned her eyes away, her pretty face flushed slightly.

Zhao Qing saw the little warmth between his brother and sister-in-law, his youthful feelings were touched, and he turned his eyes to the distant sky.

He has also reached the age of marriage, and he does not know what kind of person his father will choose for him.He doesn't ask for looks and family background, he just wants to meet a girl who can smile knowingly just like his elder brother.

Plain and happy.
