Prince Consort

Chapter 26
Hearing Pei Jiu's tone, Bai Zhi laughed uncontrollably.She really liked when Pei Jiu called her a "whore".With a smile, she jokingly said: "The whore misses you. Look at how desperate I was, I sneaked in as a military prostitute in order to see you, and I almost..." Bai Zhi dismissed the terrifying scene last night , "In short, you can't let me down."

Pei Jiu blushed, instead of scolding her as before, she remained silent.

"Ah Jiu, do you still want to play this chess?" A deep and magnetic voice sounded from behind Pei Jiu.

Bai Zhi was startled, this voice...

Pei Jiu turned half her body, and said with a smile to the person behind her, "Ah, Susu, I'm sorry, it's all because of this whore."

Bai Zhi felt that this was the first time Mutusu looked at her like that, even in a dream, he had never had such a cold gaze, it was so cold, even filled with resentment.He asked word by word, "Who is she?"

He pretended not to know her.

Very good.

Pei Jiu didn't notice Bai Zhi's strangeness, and looked at Mu Tusu with a embarrassed face. He really didn't know how to introduce Bai Zhi, old friend?Sister?Or whore?Seeing Pei Jiu's troubled look, Mutusu's eyes darkened a bit: "Lover?"

Pei Jiu never thought of this definition.The number of times he met Bai Zhi can be counted on the fingers, she teased him in every possible way, but he couldn't hate her, even a little...

Pei Jiu glanced at Bai Zhi, only to see Bai Zhi smiled at him, and his face turned red.Pei Jiu neither denied nor admitted, in Mutusu's eyes, it was nothing more than acquiescence.Mu Tusu sneered, and looked at Bai Zhi's belly.It was only because Mutusu's eyes were too cold, Bai Zhi even felt the cold from his abdomen.She was a little afraid of Mutusu like this, so she dodged and hid in Pei Jiu's arms.

Pei Jiu was taken aback by Bai Zhi's embrace, but did not refuse. He leaned over and asked Bai Zhi, "What's the matter?"

Bai Zhi shook her head.

Mutusu got up suddenly, stroked the folds of his clothes: "I don't think there is any need to play this game of chess again. Ah Jiu, I won't bother you any more." When Mutusu passed by Bai Zhi, he glanced at her, his eyes widened. There is coldness and hatred in it.Bai Zhi should not be seen.

When Pei Jiu and Bai Zhi never saw Mu Tusu leaving the camp, their eyes were filled with loneliness and sadness.

Bai Zhi eats too much!Pei Jiu sat across from Bai Zhi in a daze, watching her gobble up the steamed stuffed bun with tears rolling in her eyes.Pei Jiu said, "You're so hungry?"

Bai Zhi nodded.Since she was arrested yesterday, until now, she has not eaten a grain of rice.

"Where are you going? It's not good to be a military prostitute. Fortunately, you met me, otherwise..." He didn't say anything later, but everyone understood what he wanted to say.Bai Zhi swallowed the steamed stuffed bun in her mouth, and said in disgust: "You don't treat military prostitutes as human beings, they serve your life, shouldn't you treat them kindly?"

Pei Jiu gave her a white look: "I don't need these military prostitutes, so what's the use of telling me?"

"You have some power anyway. Let me say hello." Actually, according to Bai Zhi's temperament, she doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, but what happened last night is vivid in her mind. She didn't fall asleep last night and hid far away. Now, she might be like those women who were raped, lying there lifeless and foolish.Chastity is really important for women.

Pei Jiu looked puzzled: "I don't have any power. I'm just bored. I went to the barracks to see my brothers. But you can mention this to Su Su. He is the biggest commander here besides my father."

Bai Zhi pretended to meet Mu Tusu for the first time: "You two have a good relationship?"

"fellow chess player."

It seems that the relationship is average.Bai Zhi felt relieved.Bai Zhi walked to the chessboard, looked at the unfinished game they had just played, with a look of approval on her face: "Wonderful." This chess game was played extremely well.Pei Jiu returned to her original seat: "Who can win?"

Bai Zhi suddenly leaned over and approached Pei Jiu, he hurriedly leaned back to distance himself, and said in a panic, "What do you want to do?"

"I'll finish this game with you. You continue to use your white stones. If I win..." Bai Zhi smiled charmingly, "Will you marry me?"

Pei Jiu was taken aback.He didn't agree, but asked instead: "You don't know that I'm notorious. I'm the number one playboy in the capital. Is it commonplace to visit brothels and drink flower wine? Besides, I'm not in good health. I've been soaked in medicine jars all year round, and I will die at any time?"

Bai Zhi pretended to be contemplative, her expression suddenly became solemn.Pei Jiu held her breath and looked at her seriously, with fear and anticipation in her heart.

"If you win me, you don't need to marry me again."

"..." Does this mean that he acquiesced in continuing to play tricks?But only if he wins.

Bai Zhi clearly sensed that Pei Jiu was giving way, and she was secretly delighted.Her temptation was answered, he liked her after all.

Bai Zhi secretly rejoiced, but said with a serious face: "Young Master Pei Jiu, if you want to marry me, just say it, it's your fault for letting me win the game." , the baizi that was about to drop in his hand was taken back again, he lowered his head in embarrassment, and dropped the baizi in the place where the world was turned around.

He really is a chess master.

Bai Zhi said aggrieved again: "If Mr. Pei Jiu doesn't want to marry me, he shouldn't kill them all like this. You don't need to express your eagerness so clearly."

Pei Jiu's hands trembled, and now he didn't know what to do.

At this moment, a young officer in military uniform came over with a saber in his hand: "Ninth brother."

Bai Zhi turned around to take a closer look, and was startled by this face...

"Brother Seven." Pei Jiu put Baizi back into the wooden bowl and got up to greet him.

Pei Qi glanced at Bai Zhi, his face immediately changed, and he scolded Pei Jiu angrily, "You're recruiting military prostitutes to serve you before it's night? Are you so anxious?"

Pei Jiu looked indifferent: "She clings to me for the romantic debts she made outside, and even pretends to be a military prostitute to get close to me. Seeing how well-intentioned she is, I will satisfy her."

At this time, Pei Jiu seemed to be a different person. Although she was still arrogant, her expression was a little more frivolous than a playboy.Is this the Pei Jiu in everyone's eyes?Why did he pretend to be so unbearable and decadent?
In front of her, did he show his true nature?

"Take the money and send her away." Pei Qi glanced impatiently at Bai Zhi, whose face was smeared with dirt. It was dirty and ugly.

"This..." Pei Jiu looked at Bai Zhi in embarrassment.Bai Zhi understood what he meant. Next, whether to go or stay, it was up to her.She didn't want to leave the Imperial Forest Army alone, die outside or be captured by human traffickers again, she didn't want to do it.

Bai Zhi took a deep breath, knelt on the ground, and walked to Pei Qi's feet: "Master Qi, I was born as Master Jiu's man, and died as Master Jiu's ghost. I love him to the death."

"There are as many people who love him as an army, let's go to cool off." Pei Qi kicked Bai Zhi away, and Bai Zhi fell to the ground.Pei Jiu was about to get up to help Bai Zhi, but the person behind him grabbed her first.Mu Tusu helped Bai Zhi up, without looking at her, he just looked at Pei Qi indifferently: "I said why is there so much noise here, it turns out that Master Qi is angry."

"It's just a crazy woman, let me send her away first." After saying that, Pei Qi got up and approached Bai Zhi.He has always been a man of action, he doesn't like to talk nonsense, and he has won the true biography of General Pei.Bai Zhi's heart tightened. There was no doubt that Pei Qi would carry her out and throw her out the door, letting the soldiers drag her away.

"Brother Seven." Pei Jiu called out in time, "She has it."

"..." Everyone was silent.

The corner of Bai Zhi's mouth trembled, last time he almost lost his life because of "having it", but this time because of "having it", can he get through the crisis?Sure enough, Pei Qi no longer approached her, but looked at Pei Jiu with a look of hatred: "You..."

"Follow me to see Dad." Holding Pei Jiu's clothes, Pei Qi led him straight to the door.Pei Jiu yelled behind her back: "Brother Seven, I have angina, my heart hurts, it hurts..." Pei Qi ignored it.

Bai Zhi was thinking, now, is there anything about her?Why did you leave her alone?

Suddenly, a pair of white mink boots stopped in front of her, and she looked up from the bottom, and saw Mu Tusu looking at her intently, with complexities in her eyes that she couldn't understand.He suddenly squatted down, Bai Zhi was startled, she shrank back, her back pressed against the corner of the table, there was no way to retreat.Bai Zhi gritted her teeth: "My son!"

Mutusu glanced at her with a fake smile: "You know me?"

"It was the son who pretended not to recognize me first."

"Isn't it just what you wanted?"

really.Bai Zhi acquiesced.Mu Tusu's eyes dimmed, and he sneered: "Pei Jiu is the adulterer you would rather die than recruit? The father of the child in your womb?"

"..." If Mutusu hadn't reminded her like this, she would have forgotten such a thing.He cared more about her "adulter" and her "evil son" than she did?
"Woman? How lewd are you on his bed?" Mutusu quickly pinched her thin chin, pinching his knuckles white.Bai Zhi looked at the always calm Mutusu in astonishment, her eyes were bloodshot, and there was hatred for her, unwillingness, and... pain and sadness in her eyes.

Bai Zhi looked at him in such a panic, her chin hurt a little from being pinched, which made her tear up.Mu Tusu raised his fist suddenly, Bai Zhi thought he was going to beat her up, so she quickly closed her eyes, waiting for the death penalty.She only felt a whoosh, and the wind swept past her ears and hit the table behind her.

Bai Zhi suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the table on one side, which was cracked and stained with blood.She moved her gaze to the back of his hand, which was red, swollen and bloody.He must have exerted great strength.Bai Zhi's eyes dimmed: "The prince will meet his true love in the future, and she will be a beautiful and kind princess. I am just a small passer-by in the prince's life, and the prince doesn't need to be like this."

Mu Tusu smiled: "Yes, how are you worthy of me? You are just a whore moaning lasciviously on the bed."

Bai Zhi took a deep breath and accepted his cynicism calmly.She just wanted to get up, but was caught by Mutusu's long arm and hugged her.Bai Zhi tried to break free, but because the medicine fed by the fat woman Abi was still effective, she couldn't exert any strength.Even with all her strength, she thought, he wouldn't budge.

Mu Tusu said: "Will you die if you love me once? Can't you just die once?"

Bai Zhi replied solemnly and earnestly: "Yes, General, I will die if I love you." She remembered the moment she fell from Wangsu Terrace, the sunset was setting and the orange sky was fascinating her eyes. For the first time, he forgot about Princess Nanzhao in his arms, and looked at her seriously and in astonishment.

She loved him, and it ended in death.Despair, hatred, and unwillingness are far better than death.She swore that she would never love him again, would not pay for him again, and would not even shed a single tear for him.

Mutusu's arm suddenly lost strength, Bai Zhi quietly withdrew from his embrace, got up and left.

Bai Zhi never thought that when he saw Pei Jiu again, his whole body would be scarred.She took the limp Pei Jiu from outside General Pei's tent, and helped him back to the tent to apply medicine.During the process of applying the medicine, Pei Jiu kept screaming, as if touching him, he felt that he was being cut into pieces.

Bai Zhi joked: "You are resting well, I don't want the child to be born without a father."

Pei Jiu said dissatisfied, "It's not because of you."

Bai Zhi grinned: "Isn't it your bad idea?"

"In an emergency, I only thought of this trick. My tenth younger sister liked the son of the Taifu, but my father refused to agree, so my tenth younger sister abducted her sweetheart and eloped for five months. Five months later, she came back with a big belly and looked at him arrogantly. My father, my father married my tenth younger sister sadly. I wanted to do the same thing, but before my arrogance came out, my father's anger came out, and he beat me up so badly that I was carried back by you sadly Yes. Why is there such a big difference between men and women?" Pei Jiu gritted her teeth and endured the pain while saying sadly.

Bai Zhi said: "Next time you ask the son of the Grand Tutor to see what happened to him by his father, I think you will be more balanced."

"Whore..." Pei Jiu suddenly lowered her voice and called out to Bai Zhi.

"Continue playing chess."

"..."

"The winner has not yet been decided."

"it is good."

Bai Zhi thought that Pei Jiu would deliberately lose to her, but he didn't realize that, he pressed on every step of the way without giving in, and finally her skills were inferior to others, and she lost to him by a mistake.Bai Zhi was a little frustrated: "It turned out that the ninth son had no intention of being interested in Bai Zhi. Bai Zhi gave up."

Pei Jiu couldn't help laughing: "It's true that rotten wood can't be carved."

Bai Zhi was startled, and raised her eyes to look at him curiously.

"Tonight's celebration banquet, my father asked me to take you there. You go and wash your face, look... your face is so dirty." He reached out his hand to help her wipe it off, but his hand hung in the air, but he stopped moving.Seeing that he was thinking about whether to wipe her face, Bai Zhi reached out to grab his hand, and touched his hand to her face.

Pei Jiu blushed.

"Yo, Master Jiu is blushing again? So shy? Have you ever touched a woman's face?" Bai Zhi deliberately took his hand and touched her face twice more.

Pei Jiu gritted her teeth and squeezed out two words: "Whore!"

"A traitor!" Bai Zhi retorted.

Pei Jiuna glared at her.

Outside the tent, stood Pei Qi and Mu Tusu, who had a bad face.They glimpsed what was going on inside through the curtains that had been blown away by the wind.Pei Qi saw the bruises on the back of Mutusu's hands, and then looked at Pei Jiu who was flirting inside and was beaten all over by General Pei, and said angrily, "This kid, you specially gave him the secret gold Created medicine, but he did such things, I saw this kid getting thinner and thinner, he must have been sucked dry by this vixen."

Mu Tusu clenched the Jinchuang medicine in his hand even more.

Bai Zhi can't be regarded as an out-and-out noble lady, at most she is a daughter of a small family.She has never participated in a large-scale banquet, the biggest one is the banquet for Bai Yuan's housewarming. Inviting neighbors to have a meal is considered a matter of course.

And tonight's night banquet seemed to be very grand. According to Pei Jiu, his father, General Pei, and at least one of the generals all participated. They were all officers from this battle.

"No, there are two uninvited guests who are eating and drinking." Bai Zhi pointed at herself and then at Pei Jiu.

Pei Jiu was not convinced: "I am the son of the oldest one, how can I be an uninvited guest who eats and drinks? It's you..." Pei Jiu squinted at her, his face full of contempt.Bai Zhi was not angry, instead she smiled and bent her eyebrows: "According to your calculations, I am the daughter-in-law of the oldest one, so I don't count as eating and drinking."

"You..." Pei Jiu was stunned. She had never seen such a "reasonable" woman, but it was hard to refute her words.

"What's wrong with me? Isn't it?" Bai Zhi looked at Pei Jiu's blushing face whether it was angry or ashamed, and became more and more proud.

Pei Jiu remained silent, recruited someone, and took Bai Zhi away...

Bai Zhi was taken to a tent by several soldiers, and there were three military prostitutes who were taken away by Mustache in the morning.The woman in the green shirt is reluctantly being manipulated by the mustache, and a woman in the yellow shirt is resisting while being forced to put on makeup by the mustache's men.Only Taohua herself "has enough food and clothing" happily clinging to the bronze mirror, looking at it from the left and looking from the right, for fear that she might not look good.

What a stark contrast!

A soldier who brought Bai Zhi said to Xiao Huzi: "Tiger, dress up Miss Bai beautifully."

tiger?Bai Zhi was stunned for a while, holding rouge in front of her eyes, pointing at the orchid, and the man with the distinctive mustache called Tiger?The name is not worthy of the name!

The tiger glanced at Bai Zhi, and was even more astonished than Bai Zhi. He hurriedly put down the rouge in his hand, walked up to Bai Zhi, and said with a playful smile, "Miss Bai, come, come, sit here." There is also a charcoal fire on the other side.Presumably he gave up his seat to her.Tiger's reaction caused the other three "military prostitutes" beauties to widen their eyes and open their mouths in surprise.Bai Zhi naturally understood why they were like this, they were not there when the incident happened in the morning.The reason why the tiger is so gracious should be informed by his subordinates.

Bai Zhi sat down under their watchful eyes. Tiger's men brought a wet wipe to Tiger, and Tiger handed it to Bai Zhi: "Miss Bai, wipe your face."

Bai Zhi nodded, and wiped her face with a wet towel.She has clear and fair skin like bone china, and her appearance is exquisite to the limit. When she returns to normal, she has the allure of disastrous to the country and the people.When the tiger saw Bai Zhi's true face, his eyes straightened.This thing is worth it!
Tiger was about to put rouge and powder on Baizhi, but she stopped him in time: "You help them, I will do it myself."

Tiger nodded regretfully, went back to the woman in the green shirt, and dressed her up.The woman in the green shirt looked at Bai Zhi hesitantly, but Bai Zhi understood what she wanted to say.Why is she here?And why is it respected?
