Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 309 Regret
Hua Rong suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, and said loudly: "What's wrong with me? You ask me what's wrong? I'll tell you the truth. I've lived with you like an ascetic monk for these years, and I've had enough. Jin Yi Luxurious clothes and gourmet food are what people yearn for. I’m a woman, and I’m fine if I’m not rich, but my husband is a high-ranking official, and I have to live so frugally. I’ve already had enough..."

Yue Pengju was very sad when he heard his wife's words, and he couldn't help but let go of her waist, and said in a deep voice: "Sister Seventeen, you knew my temperament when you married me, not today! Willing to spend poverty with us..."

It was good that he didn't mention Li Qiaoniang. At this moment, Hua Rong almost completely collapsed, sneered, and said loudly: "So I regret it! I don't want to live like this anymore."

"!!!!!!"

Panting heavily, Yue Pengju looked at the burning flames in his wife's eyes, shook his head, sad and disappointed.It never occurred to me that a like-minded wife would have such an idea.

He stood up and went out, slamming the door behind him.

Hua Rong sat up sideways, and heard rustling sounds outside, it was Yue Pengju's coughing, and then Li Qiaoniang's gentle voice: "My husband is not fully recovered yet, drink a bowl of hot soup to rest..."

She could only hear Yue Pengju coughing, but not his response.I was worried about my husband's body, but when I heard Li Qiaoniang's gentle voice, I lay down slowly and said to myself, well, since there are other better women who are suitable for him, let him take care of him.

This night, tossing and turning, where can I sleep?At dawn, quietly got up and opened the door.Yue Pengju had already been exercising in the forest outside, and Li Qiaoniang followed him, serving tea and water, dressing and passing hats, and taking care of him meticulously.Under the early morning sun, Hua Rong saw that Pengju was at the best age for a man, and Li Qiaoniang was an eighteen-year-old girl. She was surprised that the two were so well-matched, a heroic beauty, and more importantly, Li Qiaoniang was in good health and could replace Pengju. Give birth to a son!It seems that the Empress Dowager really put a lot of thought into this!
She looked at it a few more times, only to feel that her body was broken, like a wilted flower and willow in the twilight, a surge of energy and blood, like touching an old scar, turned around quietly, and then went back to the bed to lie down, feeling dizzy for a while.

After Yue Pengju's morning exercise, he stood silently at his wife's door for a while, knocked on the door, but saw that she didn't respond at all. At this time, Li Ruoxu, the aide, had come to remind today's military meeting, saying that the imperial court sent the left minister Zhang Jun to supervise the division. Waiting to meet with various generals.He had to hurry to work.

After the change of Miao Liu, Zhao Deji did not use Qin Hui for various reasons, but used Zhang Jun who was originally released.Zhao Deji was very worried about the Dongting water bandits, the biggest worry in the country. After sending Yue Pengju, he asked Zhang Jun to supervise the teacher himself in order to show his importance.

Zhang Jun was born as a Jinshi, and he looked down on martial arts students. When he saw Yue Pengju, he didn't call him "Xianggong", but called him by his military rank: "Yue Taiwei has been stationed in Dongting for more than a month, how do you use troops?"

Yue Pengju recounted his deployment.Zhang Jun half understood, but it was inconvenient to show that he didn't understand in front of these "warriors", and it was inconvenient to ask more questions. He only asked Yue Pengju when he would defeat the enemy, but Yue Pengju didn't say the deadline.Zhang Jun talked freely about his views again, Yue Pengju just listened humbly, Zhang Jun was very proud to see his respectful attitude.

After the discussion was over and it was still early, Yue Pengju returned to his office, discussed with the deployment, and told about Supervisor Zhang Jun.Just as they were discussing, they heard a guard report: "I would like to inform Mr. Yue that there is a guest surnamed Qin asking to see me."

"please come in."

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of laughter: "Hahaha, Yue Pengju, have you broken the Dongting water bandits?"

................................................

Yue Pengju was overjoyed when he saw that it was King Qin, and immediately stood up and said, "King Qin, why are you here?"

Most of the people here are the generals who have followed Yue Pengju for a long time, especially Zhang Xian and others, who once fought against the Jin soldiers at sea with King Qin, have a deep relationship, and most of them got up to meet him.

King Qin took the guest seat arranged and said loudly: "Before I came, I went to inquire about the enemy's situation, but I saw that Yang Mo has many magnificent ships, and the scale of the battleship is larger than that of Lao Tzu, so I came to observe how you deal with it. he……"

"Okay. I was just looking to hear from you about water warfare, of which you are an expert."

King Qin was also polite, and sat down to discuss with everyone.But when Yue Pengju took out a stack of captured sketches of Yang Mo's unfinished battleship, the design was exquisite and the scale was huge, even he exclaimed: "Lao Tzu's five-toothed warship is not as large as Yang Mo's." , How much money does such a big ship cost? Why does Yang even say that the rich and the poor are equalized, and the rich and the poor are really equalized, so he can afford to build such a big ship?"

The crowd began to discuss in a hurry.After the meeting, Yue Pengju was very enthusiastic and invited him vigorously: "King Qin, come to my house for a casual meal."

King Qin hadn't seen Hua Rong for a long time, and he was eager to go, but thinking of her attitude, he didn't want to go to make fun of himself, so he refused, saying: "No, I have my own place."

Yue Pengju also thought of his wife's attitude at this time, and the relationship between him and his wife had become increasingly tense in recent days, and he was unwilling to conflict with her on this matter, so he stopped insisting.

King Qin turned around and left, Yue Pengju called him to stop.Seeing that he hesitated to speak, King Qin stared and said, "What else do you need?"

Yue Pengju shook his head and said nothing.He thought that his wife had been getting more and more abnormal recently, and King Qin was also his wife's old friend, and he was also her "righteous brother". ask.

As it was getting late, King Qin quietly stood behind a big tree, looking at the pale green shadow by the green grass lake in front of him.

At this time, the last rays of the setting sun had already set, and there was a bright red fire cloud in the sky.As the light green shadow got closer and closer, he felt his eyes were a bit blurred, as if he had returned to that summer day ten years ago. The first day we met was also such a dusk, and the same color of water and sky. On the boundless beach, that barefooted woman was dressed in strong clothes, so thin, with a dagger in her pocket, ready for the final blow at any time, either killing the enemy or committing suicide.

Terrible beginnings lead to ten years of wasted time.

In a blink of an eye, the beach turned into a lake, with green grass and rippling waves.Although not as majestic as the sea, it is also vast and boundless.

The woman with the green figure lowered her head, picked up the stones around her, threw one into the center of the lake from time to time, sighed occasionally, and looked very preoccupied.After a long time, she looked up at the sunset in the west, and then slowly stood up.

King Qin stood quietly behind the big tree, watching the pale green shadow approaching.She is wearing a light green silk gauze sweater, a moon-white skirt, which is finely cut and fit perfectly, especially the dark pattern embroidered on it, the craftsmanship is not inferior to that of the imperial palace.She wears a pair of calfskin boots with air holes on her feet, and she still carries a small bow on her back. Arrowheads with colorful feathers come out from behind, matching the sunset glow behind her.

More than ten years have passed in a hurry, and the years have left no trace.

His heart was beating like a drum, roaring endlessly. After a while, he calmed down, closed his eyes, opened them again, and then stepped out, shouting: "Girl!"

Hua Rong was stunned, his figure was a little stiff.She raised her head slowly, looked at the tall figure opposite in the dusk, and after a while, said lightly, "King Qin, what's the matter with you?"

Her attitude was cold and her voice was cold, but this did not stop King Qin's excitement at all. He couldn't help taking a step forward, but when he saw her bright eyes, there was a cluster of dangerous flames in them, he was startled, and stopped, He just said, "Lao Tzu came to see Yang Mo's warship."

I see.King Qin is the overlord of the sea, and he heard that Yang Mo's boats are powerful, so he is like a drunkard who comes to watch the battle after seeing good wine-this makes sense.

Seeing that she didn't speak anymore, Qin Dawang looked indifferent, as if saying that if you want to see it, you can see as much as you want, and it has nothing to do with me.Then, she was about to pass by.In desperation, he said again: "This boy Yue Pengju is very thoughtful and well-arranged. I never thought of this move. He is getting more and more powerful. I think he will win Yang soon in this battle." .”

"Oh."

"Today, I participated in a military meeting with Yue Pengju, only to realize that he is truly outstanding. In the past, I underestimated him. Looking at the Song Kingdom, he is definitely a well-deserved number one general. The plan he proposed... "

Hua Rong said coldly: "I'm not interested in these."

Not interested in?How could you not be interested?In the past, didn't the girl often discuss with Yue Pengju to make suggestions together?Didn't she also work as a "teacher" for Lao Shizi for a while?
King Qin was still in high spirits, he didn't care what she said, as long as she spoke, as long as he could talk to her, no matter what she said, he would be happy to hear her voice, and said loudly: " I found that most of his subordinates are upright and straightforward people, but lack of tactful people. The staff such as Li Ruoxu, Yu Peng, Sun Ge, Zhang Xian, etc. are all like this..."

"What about this?"

"Such a group of people, if they meet the Ming Lord, they will naturally become famous, but if they meet someone like Zhao Deji, they may not end well."

Hua Rong didn't feel too surprised, she was already used to Zhao Deji's flipping hands to cloud and rain.Especially this time, he and the queen mother traveled thousands of miles, and specially "gifted" Yue Pengju as a concubine, which made her very angry.The monarch, the minister, and the minister, the ruler wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. Does it mean that the ruler wants the minister to take concubines, and the minister has to take concubines?He keeps saying that he won't let Peng Ju die, but it's obviously trying to force him hard.

Hearing King Qin's words, she felt vaguely angry in her heart. This was also the reason why she was unwilling to participate in any military discussions since Li Qiaoniang came. She just thought, why would such a foolish king protect him?What does it matter if he kills Yang Mo or Yang Mo kills him?But she only kept these thoughts in her heart and didn't say them out loud. She said lightly, "When the Northern Expedition succeeds, my husband and I will retire naturally."

King Qin breathed a sigh of relief: "The two of you know how to retreat, but you are not too stupid."

Hua Rong said lightly, "Thank you for the reminder."

Seeing that she was about to leave again, King Qin immediately said, "I heard that Zhang Jun is here to supervise the teacher?"

"What about this?"

"I once heard Mr. Kang and others talking about government affairs. He said that Zhang Jun has great ambitions and talents. If he is in the cabinet, he will definitely introduce Qin Hui."

Hua Rong was startled: "How can I see that?"
