Rebirth of the Splendid Phoenix

Chapter 93 A Woman's Heart

There has never been a lack of excitement in the capital.

For example, someone's boy got his leg broken when he was competing with someone in a brothel, for example, someone's young lady yearned for a certain young talent and was seen through and ashamed to see others, or another example, a certain wife murdered a pregnant concubine because of jealousy. , These things happen every month, and they will never stop, so that the people in the capital have no novelty.

But recently there have been two strange incidents in the capital, which are very fresh compared to the previous ones.

Everyone in the capital has heard about what happened in Xuzhou, but it didn't happen to him. Although there was some uproar, it was only discussed for a few days.

But Xie Jinhua and his party brought the captives into Beijing, and the follow-up surprised everyone.

One is that the second young lady of Xie Shangshu's family is in the limelight again, but this time she is not only praised by the emperor as a female official, but is directly bestowed the title of county lord by the emperor.

Compared with those royal princesses, the princess of the prince's family is not very prominent, but she is a serious title, that is, the daughter of the princess' family of the county prince has the opportunity to be named. Xie Jinhua has not married yet, so she won it. A dignified title instantly became the focus of everyone's attention in the capital.

I don't know how many women are secretly envious and jealous, wishing to replace it.

The reputation of Xie Jin's paintings has also been thoroughly resounded throughout the capital.

The two are the third young master named Qin Zheng from Prince Rui's Mansion.

It is said that it was born of a concubine in the mansion. She has been in poor health since she was a child and has been recuperating from illnesses outside. Recently, her health has improved, and she directly joined the ranks of the emperor's side of the Vermilion Bird Guards. She has done great things for the emperor in the south and made great contributions.

The emperor rewarded him, not only to rectify his name, but also to directly promote him to the official position of Vermillion Bird Guard Hundred Households. He is only twelve years old. At this age, he has already officially obtained an official position and has a bright future.

Prince Rui's Mansion also followed suit.

I heard that Prince Rui is in a particularly good mood these days when he is having banquets with people.

After all, the two sons in his mansion didn't have any real skills. The eldest son was reluctant to guard Chengdu, let alone open up, guarding the position of a prince, that's all.

The second son said that he has achieved fame, that is, he is good in the eyes of those who have no background, but in fact he has long been far away from the center of power.

Qin Zheng's recognition by the emperor as the third son of Prince Rui's Mansion is really a very good thing for the Rui Palace, which is in decline and far away from the center of power.

Those who are not well-informed can only hear this, and those who are well-informed and those who know know that Qin Zheng is actually a prostitute. First, he just worked as a servant in Prince Rui's mansion. King Rui has no intention of admitting that his status is humble As a result, Xie Jinhua took him out of Prince Rui's Mansion and walked down step by step. It didn't take much time, but now he has really reached the sky in one step.

Those who really knew the inside story sighed that Qin Zheng was lucky, but those with a bad temper hated him terribly in their hearts.

King Qi is in this state of mind now.

He saw the entanglement between Xie Jinhua and Qin Zheng from the very beginning, and also believed that Xie Jinhua could help him more from the very beginning, but it turned out that Xie Jinhua was more important than he imagined. Excellence, but those excellences were all used to help Qin Zheng, who came from a humble background.

As for the matter in Xuzhou, if Xie Jinhua belonged to him, he would have benefited from it, and the opportunities would have been countless, but in the end, Qin Zheng was fulfilled.

The entire Prince Qi Mansion has been in a low pressure these days, all the servants and servants are very careful when they come and go to serve, for fear of accidentally sweeping the taboo of King Qi.

King Qi, who is always gentle and gentle, got angry several times in the mansion these days, and even got angry with the princess once. Although the anger was quickly subdued, it was enough to make everyone in the mansion of King Qi fear, worry and be careful.

King Qi knows that his current performance is not good, and it is easy to damage his usual image, but he can't help it, the less he can get, the better. For Xie Jinhua, he almost has some obsessions now. .

But Xie Jinhua would rather help the son of a singing girl than help him, and it made King Qi feel humiliated, how happy he was.

"My lord, this is the chrysanthemum tea that my concubine has just brewed with my own hands. It tastes good, my lord."

As soon as Princess Qi entered the study, she saw Prince Qi's lucky face, her heart ached, and she felt that she was not in a good mood.

King Qi's thoughts on Xie Jinhua were clearly revealed, she knew why King Qi was angry, and it was precisely because she knew that that made her feel more uncomfortable.

In the past, I felt that I loved Qi Wang deeply and would do anything for him, but now, Princess Qi suddenly regretted it.

There was a slight pain in the abdomen again, but Princess Qi ignored it this time. Shi Shiran came forward with the tray, put it down gently, and spoke softly.

The pain could wake her up.

King Qi put down the secret letter in his hand, looked up and saw Princess Qi, the coldness on his face dissipated: "Shu'er is here, you are inconvenient, how can you do it yourself, how do those girls serve you, I really should teach you a lesson Come on, come on, sit down."

King Qi got up and supported Princess Qi to let her sit in her seat.

That cautious look, coupled with those eyes full of affectionate concern, made Princess Qi's heart that was already cold, and couldn't help but warm it up again.

Princess Qi felt the temperature on her hands, raised her eyes to stare at King Qi, and smiled: "The imperial doctor also said that I should walk around occasionally, which is good for the fetus. Besides, I am not as weak as you imagined. If I can't even make a cup of tea for you If it doesn't work, won't I become a waste?"

Although she said this with a smile, the sourness inside could not be concealed.

King Qi sighed, and squeezed Princess Qi's hand: "Shu'er, what are you talking about, I know that my recent emotions have affected you, I apologize, I have some thoughts about Hua'er, but I don't like The most important thing she values ​​is her status as your direct sister and her ability. If you say who the person in my heart is, whoever is better than you, and don't belittle yourself, Hua'er's ability is outside and can help you I manage power, but if you don't help me run the palace, how can I fight without any worries?"

Princess Qi listened to King Qi's soft voice, her heart was beating uncontrollably.

He did disappoint her, but King Qi also had too many things that made her reluctant. Except for him, no man would be so gentle, loving, and soft-spoken to his wife.

Is she really willing to give up such a man?
Princess Qi placed her hand gently on King Qi's face, slowly tracing his outline.

"My lord, there is a message from the mansion that although the third sister is not yet of age, she has served the lord personally after all, and I am thinking whether to make an appointment with the lord first."

After a long while of silence, Princess Qi felt the momentary stiffness of the man who was very close to her, and her heart ached even more.

If it is Xie Jinhua who is talking about at this moment, has he already eagerly agreed?
"My lord, I know that you are looking for the second sister, and I also like the second sister, not to mention her ability and appearance, although her temper is a bit hard, she has no intention of harming others, she is a kind girl , the third sister searched farther than her, but"

Princess Qi looked helpless and bitter: "My mother hurts my third sister to the core. This time, my third sister came to this palace to serve you with sincerity, but it spread a bad reputation. My mother forced me to let you and my third sister... Set it down, if something happens to me in the future, I will let Sanmei replace me."

Princess Qi didn't finish this sentence, because King Qi reached out and covered her lips: "Shu'er, don't talk stupidly, even if those doctors say there is nothing they can do to your body, it is because those doctors are incompetent. I heard that the complete eradication of the plague in the south was due to the prescription of a divine doctor. Hua'er came from there. She should know the divine doctor. I will invite her into the mansion later, and I will definitely get the origin of the divine doctor. , Shu'er, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will definitely not give up."

He refused to mention Xie Jinyao.

King Qi became more and more disgusted with Xie Jinyao.

Apart from embarrassing him, there was nothing he could do to help him.

Princess Qi burst into tears when she heard King Qi's vow.

How could this man let her go? At that moment, she made up her mind.

This man is hers, even if he is no longer just her in his heart, she will not allow another woman to completely occupy him, no matter how many precautions and methods, after a long time, who can guarantee that everything is in her expectation? Where?

With a smile in her tears, and tears in her smile, she hugged King Qi tightly with one hand, and Princess Qi buried her head in King Qi's chest.

He gently covered his abdomen with one hand, child, child, don't blame the concubine mother.

-

Xie Jinhua doesn't know what happened in Prince Qi's mansion, and she doesn't have the mind to think about King Qi for the time being.

She had thought that the emperor would give her some rewards, and she also thought that the emperor would give Qin Zheng an official status. She guessed most of it, but still underestimated the emperor's courage. The other party actually conferred her the title of county lord.

The position of the county lord is not bad. To be honest, many women envy the position of a baroness, but she would rather have the emperor than the position of the county lord who has no real power and can attract many people's taboo. The previously sealed seat of the imperial court lady.

In the past few days, because of the county lord's title, Xie Jinhua was relentless in accepting some invitations and flower stickers, even in the mansion, he would not be free.

Xie Jinyao came here to find trouble when he got a chance, although Xie Jinhua always counterattacked and made the other party ashamed every time, but he couldn't bear to be annoying.

Huang's eyes on her have already begun to quench the poison.

And Xie Jinhua's gaze disgusted Xie Jinhua the most.

It was the look of looking at a treasured item.

He is weighing her current value.

This family, Xie Jinhua is really disgusted to the extreme.

Seeing Lily looking at those invitations happily, Xie Jinhua sighed, when will this kind of day be the end.

At this time, a little girl came in: "Second Miss, the third son of Prince Rui's Mansion is here to pay a visit."

Xie Jinhua was a little stunned at first, and then realized that it was Qin Zheng, and the boredom in his heart suddenly dissipated.

Qin Zheng was able to visit her in a dignified manner. This trip to the south is actually beneficial, isn't it?

Xie Jinhua's improved mood lasted until she entered the lobby.

Xie Jinyao's voice came from the lobby: "What kind of thing are you? Don't think that since you are now the third son of Prince Rui's Mansion, no one will know that you were a slave before, that is, the shameless second sister and you. !"

Xie Jinyao's voice was suddenly interrupted, and with a scream, Xie Jinhua hurriedly stepped into the hall, and saw a sharp knife on Xie Jinyao's neck at a glance, her face was pale, her legs trembled and she dared not move.

And the handle of the sharp blade is now held in Qin Zheng's hand.

Xie Jinhua couldn't help curling his lips.
