Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 186 Going to the Market
Hua Rong spoke slowly: "Pengju..."

"Um……"

"Pengju, I'm really sorry for you..." Pengju was at the time when he was young, and he had just married, and people said that Xiaobie was better than a newlywed, and it was time to make out with his wife. Wouldn't it be uncomfortable?
Yue Pengju naturally understood what she meant, he laughed, his voice was so low, and he pressed it against her ear, as if he was kissing: "The future is long, believe me, we have plenty of time..."

Her voice was a bit bleak: "But..."

"Sister, let me tell you something... a few days ago, Mr. Wu sent me a beautiful woman to be my concubine..."

"what?"

Seeing that her attention was immediately diverted, Yue Pengju smiled inwardly, but remained serious: "Many people persuaded me to accept it, saying that Mr. Wu had good intentions. Besides, I have always wanted to befriend Mr. Wu..."

Without thinking, she asked, "Who advised you?"

"Guess what?"

"Yu Peng? Wang Gui? Or the guards? Who are they?! Tell me honestly...Hmph, let me know, I will definitely pull out their skins..."

Yue Pengju was terrified: "They really instigated me. I have never participated in this matter at all..."

Hua Rong was dubious, and suddenly grabbed his ear: "You are the culprit, and you still blame others..."

Her hand gently twisted his ear, as if it was a gentle touch.The itchy feeling was very comfortable, Yue Pengju laughed, and Hua Rong also laughed: "Hehe, Pengju, how did you deal with it?"

Yue Pengju recounted his "threat" to Yongxu, and then he was very proud: "How do you think I did?"

"great."

With his wife's approval, Yue Pengju was really elated: "Haha, the ancients said, to cultivate one's morality and regulate one's family, one can govern the country first. I found that I can manage a family and fight at the same time, hahaha..."

Hua Rong listened to him boasting triumphantly and snuggled into his arms, she was really overjoyed.

A burst of tiredness struck, and before going to sleep, there was still a smile on my face, thinking, it's good to be alive.

cloudy day.

It's just that there is no sun, but the sky is neither low nor oppressive, and the cool breeze is blowing, which is Hua Rong's favorite weather.

Around Elong Town, there are verdant forests and towering old trees, some of which can cover an acre of land.

The two wandered around for a while, and Yue Pengju suddenly remembered something: "Today is the day for the market in Elong Town, let's go and have a look."

Elong Town only catches a fair every half a month, which is a rare opportunity.Hua Rong immediately agreed enthusiastically.Yue Pengju hugged her and left.

In his arms, she whispered, "Pengju, isn't this bad?"

"What's wrong? It's so close, there's no need to take a carriage. It's just right for me to hold you."

At that time, although the folk customs were open, it was still a bit shocking to walk around like this alone.Hua Rong is a woman after all, blushing, but Yue Pengju didn't care: "What does it matter if I hug my wife?"

He said it's okay, then it's okay.

Hua Rong chuckled and hugged his neck lightly: "Then, let's go."

Since the wounds of the war are far from healed, Elong Town does not appear to be very lively even though there are fairs.In a short and narrow street, there are a few small shops selling mountain products, fruits and vegetables, as well as some clothes and jewelry.

Pedestrians looked at Yue Pengju in amazement, but he acted like no one else was there. In the war years, people were not surprised at anything, and death didn't matter, so after a few glances, they stopped looking at him, thinking, maybe, this man's Wife, what kind of injury has she suffered? She won't live long.

Yue Pengju seldom went shopping. No matter what he saw, he was very curious and interested. He looked at one by one, and finally stopped in front of a small jewelry vendor.

On the shelves, there are colorful and cheap jewelry, glass beads, silver, wood, everything that one expects to find.

He took off a red hairpin: "What do you think of this hairpin?"

"Oh, I already have one. I keep it all the time."

"Then change to this bracelet? Look, how beautiful this red bracelet is..."

The peddler courteously took a small wooden stool: "Brother, sit and choose slowly for the lady..."

"Thank you."

Yue Pengju took five or six bracelets in a row and compared them one by one.

"This color is not good..."

"It's just a little flawed..."

"This one doesn't work either, it looks so bleak..."

"..."

After trying almost all the bracelets on the stall, he chose a green one and happily put it on her hand.

The impatient peddler was still polite: "Thank you for your patronage, fifty dollars."

Yue Pengju gave him fifty iron coins, and immediately turned his head to admire the bracelet, but saw her white arm and the green bracelet, forming a stark contrast, crystal clear and jade.

"Haha, I really have a good eye, how pretty... Sister, from now on, I will choose your clothes for you..."

"Oh Well."

……

The two leisurely walked around the small street door to door, and then ate badly burned noodles in a small shop.Yue Pengju was even more happy to see that Hua Rong actually ate half a bowl of white noodles. As long as he can eat, there will always be a way.

The two wandered around until almost dusk before walking slowly towards the barracks.

At the gate, I saw two people wandering outside the gate from a long distance away.

Yue Pengju stopped in his tracks.

Hua Rong raised his head from his arms and looked in front of him, it turned out to be Xu Caizhi and Eunuch Kang.

At this time, the two also spotted them and rushed over, especially Xu Caizhi, who was incoherent: "Mrs. Yue, you... I heard that you were seriously injured..."

Eunuch Kang also stepped forward: "The government misses Madam very much, so they sent their own family to express condolences..."

"Thank you for the kindness of the officials. Mr. Xu, Mr. Kang... I also thank you for coming to see me..."

As early as when Hua Rong and others were attacked in the Kingdom of Jin, the peace talks failed, members of the envoys were detained, and Zhang Xian and others sent news back to the Kingdom of Song, there were special messengers who quickly sent it to the temporary palace and reported it to Zhao Deji.Especially when Hua Rong was injured and missing, he even reported it to the court.

Meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the two are also happy, but at the same time, they are also slightly uneasy.

Everyone exchanged greetings and walked in, Xu Caizhi said again: "By the way, this time, the officials have also sent the royal doctor Wang Sir from the palace, hoping to treat the girl..."

Royal Physician Mr. Wang, called Wang Jixian, is a very famous doctor among the people.After Zhao Deji suffered from impotence, he secretly visited famous doctors, and someone recommended Wang Jixian.It is unknown to outsiders whether Wang Jixian has cured the official family, but it is known that within a short period of time, Wang Jixian has gained a high degree of trust from the official family, and has been given extremely generous rewards, and even promoted him to rank. grade.

This is already at the top level among medical officers.Moreover, it seems that it is not difficult for everyone to predict that Wang Jixian will get a bigger promotion.Therefore, even Eunuch Kang is very flattering to him.

At this time, Wang Jixian was sitting on the simple white wooden stool in the barracks lobby, frowning. In front of him was a cup of very weak tea, which was already the best hospitality offered by the guards.

Yue Pengju went in with Hua Rong in his arms, and saw a scribe-like official, wearing a Dongpo scarf on his head and a Confucian uniform on his body.

Eunuch Kang hastily introduced: "Master Wang, Lord Yue is back... This is the medical officer, Master Wang..."

Yue Pengju put Hua Rong on the chair, and hastily saluted respectfully, "Master Wang has come from a long way, I am very grateful..."

Wang Jixian bowed his hands and returned the salute, with a very arrogant expression: "I have heard of Master Yue's reputation for a long time, and I am very honored to be an official."

Yue Pengju was of a higher rank than him, so even though he saw him being rude, he didn't take it seriously. In the past, he valued culture over martial arts, and Yue Pengju had always respected Confucian scholars.Immediately ordered the guards to exchange for hot tea.

As soon as the hot tea was served, Wang Jixian saw that the tea was still crude, so he realized that it wasn't the guards who were being contemptuous just now, but that the military camp of Elong Town, the Xuanfu envoy of the Song Dynasty, Yue Pengju, was so cold.

Wang Jixian lives a luxurious life and likes to enjoy himself, so naturally he doesn't drink this tea, and walks slowly to Hua Rong's side.

Although Hua Rong never saluted and greeted him, he saw Hua Rong's smiling face and gentle eyes, as if greeting people silently, and because he had Zhao Deji's secret order to heal Hua Rong, he guessed that she had a lot to do with the current officials, so However, his attitude towards Hua Rong was extremely polite: "Mrs. Yue, I have come here to treat Madam at the order of His Majesty..."

"Thank you sir, you have worked so hard, Hua Rong is really grateful."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Wang Jixian frowned, and immediately heard that her internal organs had suffered great damage, he hurriedly said: "Girl, please stretch out your hand..."

Hua Rong stretched out his hand.

He felt Hua Rong's pulse, and Xu Caizhi and Eunuch Kang looked at each other.The two of them had just met Hua Rong and Yue Pengju at the door, but when they saw their brows smiling and their expressions relaxed, as if they had returned from an outing, they thought Hua Rong's injury was not serious.Suddenly seeing Wang Jixian's face getting more and more ugly, the two of them knew that Hua Rong was seriously injured, and what they said was true.

Wang Jixian was still feeling for her pulse, with a surprised expression on his face: "Who palmed the girl?"

Yue Pengju answered for her: "It was injured by the Jin army in the melee..."

Hua Rong's eyelashes lifted slightly, then drooped again, showing a hint of a smile involuntarily.

Seeing her expression like this, Wang Jixian was even more surprised, and he let go of her hand after a while, and sighed, "Alas!"

Xu Caizhi and Mr. Kang asked in unison: "Lord Wang, what is this?"

"Mrs. Yue is so seriously injured that even the Great Luo Immortal cannot save her..."

The two looked at each other.After a while, Xu Caizhi looked at Hua Rong, but saw that her expression did not change at all, even the smile on the brows did not change, and Yue Pengju's expression did not change, so he understood that her husband and wife must have known about it for a long time. got the truth.

He looked at Yue Pengju carefully, remembering how he was hugging Hua Rong, and felt very uncomfortable, unable to say any words of comfort, but Eunuch Kang reluctantly said: "You two don't need to be too sad..."

Yue Pengju shook his head, feeling extremely disappointed in his heart, even Wang Jixian thought there was no cure, wife, is it really dead?
Wang Jixian was very confiding: "You two don't need to be sad. Mrs. Yue can survive for a while, but she can't have another child. If you like children..."

Yue Pengju said lightly: "During the war, there are countless orphans. If we like children, we will naturally adopt one."

Wang Jixian didn't think so: "Master Yue, why is this so? After all, the opposite sex is not as good as your own, Mrs. Yue is also a virtuous person, as long as you open your heart and let Master Yue take a few more concubines, a aunt is always better than an adoptive mother..."

Yue Pengju's complexion changed, and he felt bad for Wang Jixian. He was about to speak, but Hua Rong said softly, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your reminder."

Yue Pengju was full of anger and couldn't speak, but when he saw his wife looking at him softly, it was obvious that he was signaling to himself not to be impulsive. After a second thought, he suddenly calmed down. Taking concubines or not is his own business, and his wife can handle it calmly. Why bother to be idle with outsiders?
