Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 315 Why Did I Tell You

Yue Pengju said in a deep voice, "That's not necessary. I have other things to do, so I don't want to disturb you." After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for Hua Rong's answer.

Hua Rong watched him leave, she sat there for a long time, she didn't know how long it took, and opened the door to go out, only to see that there was a lot of traffic outside, and it turned out that Yue Pengju had sent someone to buy silk clothes and dowry.As well as the food, wine, and meat needed for the feast, a group of servants set up a temporary kitchen outside for preparation.Although it is not luxurious, it is also quite stylish.Yue Pengju was sweating profusely while commanding outside, but he was actually preparing for his own concubine day.

She remembered that her husband took the hundreds of coins back, because he was afraid that he would embezzle him and treat his concubine poorly.She sighed in her heart: Pengju, husband and wife, you actually look at me like this!
She stood in a daze at the door, and saw Li Qiaoniang quietly opening a door in the west wing to look around, with that kind of honored and expectant smile on her face, she couldn't bear it any longer, and went back to the room to lie down.

However, how can you sleep when you lie down?He only pricked up his ears to listen to the hustle and bustle outside.The husband and wife quarreled. It was late at night and the hustle and bustle stopped. She still couldn't see her husband returning to the room. She felt anxious and got up quietly to the door, but she heard footsteps. She was about to speak when the door of the west wing opened. It was Li Qiaoniang's expectation and surprise: "My husband..."

It turned out that her husband went to Li Qiaoniang's room!
She stayed at the door for a long while, but she didn't see her husband coming out. She just felt dizzy, moved her feet, and slowly went to bed and lay down.

That night, Yue Pengju never came back.She lay dizzy and dizzy until dawn before hearing the hurried footsteps.She quietly opened the door and went out, only to see Yue Pengju standing in the yard outside, and she didn't know if she just came in from outside or just came out of Li Qiaoniang's room.

When he saw Hua Rong, he greeted her with a smile, his expression was very proud and excited, like a child, he almost jumped for joy: "Sister Seventeen..."

Hua Rong felt that he was full of energy and proud of the spring breeze, and suddenly realized that maybe he had had a good time with Li Qiaoniang last night, otherwise, how could he be smiling so weirdly?She was completely stunned and gave him a cold look.Maybe it was because her eyes were too cold, Yue Pengju was taken aback, at this moment, a subordinate official came to report the matter, and he left in a hurry.

Hua Rong also turned around and closed the door with a bang.She is the head of the house, and her husband takes concubines. According to the custom, she has to put on airs and avoid it.

At this time, the mask of "good wife" can no longer be worn.There were voices outside the door one after another. She couldn't make out what the voices were, but felt that the voices were "Congratulations on the newly married" or something like that.There was the sound of laughter from the female relatives, who thought they were going to dress up the bride...

Yue Pengju's laughter, Li Qiaoniang's laughter, King Qin's laughter... Besieged on all sides, all enemies.The silk brocade dress from last night appeared in front of her eyes, and she took another look at the Jingchai sarong on her body, and the unused fifty pennies in the drawer. So far, it's a complete irony.

After a long time, she stood up, picked up the small bow and arrowhead she carried with her from the side, and carried them on her back solemnly.Suddenly, I saw a large package in the closet, and I don't know when it was put in.When I opened it, I found some brand new clothes inside, which I thought Pengju bought for Li Qiaoniang, but I didn't take them out because I didn't return last night.

She put the package back where it was, and only took a few old clothes of her own at random, and there was nothing else to do with it.Looking at her hand again, there is also a bracelet that Yue Pengju bought for her back then. She took it off gently, thought about it, and wrote a few lines with a pen, flattened it with a paperweight, and put the jade bracelet on it .

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

At this time, the "whole body is relaxed", even the package is so "relaxed" that it weighs nothing in the hand.Then she stood up slowly, walked to the door, put her hand on the door handle, and heard the endless laughter and laughter, the noise was overwhelming, and congratulations.She didn't dare to go out, let alone face it.After a long time, he withdrew his hand again, walked to the window, opened the window, and outside was a forest behind the bedroom.It was midsummer at this time, and the trees were covered with green onions, and it was silent.She saw the sharp contrast between the seclusion here and the bustling outside, and jumped out.

With both feet on the grass, a few birds were startled and sang by.

There was a faint sound of joyful drums in her ears, and she couldn't hold back her tears anymore. It was clear that the sky was clear and cloudless, but she felt that the world was vast, and the world was so big that there was no room for her.

She stepped out quickly, whistled, and heard the sound of the horse.These days, she has no horses in the stables and is tied to one place alone.At this time, she went quietly, untied the horse, and jumped on the horse's back, but no one found her trace.

As soon as she raised her whip, she galloped swiftly to the gate of the barracks. The veterans stationed naturally knew that this was Mrs. Yue. He saw her coming in and out almost every day, and he only saluted habitually and let her out.

Hua Rong walked onto the main road without hindrance, the area of ​​Dongting has been dry for a long time, and a lot of dust was raised along the way.Looking at Dongting Lake again, between the water and the sky, the misty mist in the distance still hasn't changed at all.

She ran for more than ten miles, but saw water villages lined up along the way, overgrown with weeds. The dry weather here and the scorching sun were obviously a good time for fire attack.Only then did she realize that Pengju's so-called "eight days" victory was not an exaggeration.According to the nearly 20-day time limit Zhang Jun gave him to go back and forth, he could enjoy the sweet "spring night moment" before going to the army.

A beautiful wife and concubine, a strategic victory, what a man expects, is perfect here.

Hua Rong couldn't think about it anymore, his heart was about to burst, suddenly he swung his whip and fell heavily, the horse was frightened and galloped desperately.Hua Rong was already in great chaos at this time, regardless of the direction, after running like this for two hours, he realized that he had left Tanzhou City for a hundred or two hundred miles and arrived at a fork in the road.

In the scorching sun, she was already drenched in sweat, her hair was almost dripping water, and her clothes were completely stuck to her body, so she was so wet that she felt uncomfortable.Only then did she rein in her horse in a daze, and stopped under a tall tree.The green shade blocks out the sun, but still can't feel the slightest coolness.

She raised her sleeve to wipe the sweat from her forehead, brushed away the messy hair wet with sweat, and looked in the direction.There are two roads ahead, one leads to Lin'an in the general direction, and the other leads to another direction.She calmed down a little, at this moment, in this world, she only wanted to see one person: that was Li Yi'an, and she wanted to confide in her with thousands of words in her heart.In the military camp, neither the fourth sister Gao nor other female relatives, or even old friends Wanwan and Tianwei, were not suitable objects to confide in.They didn't understand those words, and she couldn't communicate with them.Only Li Yi'an, only that strange woman who is like a grandmother and a friend.She wished she could see Li Yi'an right away, but she remembered that Li Yi'an was living in her own courtyard at this time, which was also within Yue Pengju's territory.He was desperate, so he still had no choice but to return to Yue Pengju's protection, but he was not reconciled.After thinking about it, he decided to take another path.

This determined the direction, and I never looked back, but I was no longer anxious. I stopped and stopped along the way, and it was the first time to relax and see this strange world.

Since the morning, the barracks has been boiling with excitement over the wedding.

Early in the morning, Zhang Xian saw his wife calling the two children out to play, so he hid in the house and did not go out, so he asked, "Aren't you going to help?"

Fourth Sister Gao naturally wouldn't hide her worries in front of her husband, so she said angrily: "You just came back, so naturally you don't know the situation. Alas, Li Qiaoniang has plenty of people to help, and there are many people who fawn on her, so I don't have to join in the fun .”

Zhang Xian frowned: "What do you mean?"

"The slave family thought that Mr. Yue had no heirs, so they also agreed with him to take concubines, but these days, the slave family sees Mr. Yue as a heartless and ungrateful person. It is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines. I'm sorry for the chaff. I only pity Mrs. Yue, who looks helplessly at her husband taking concubines, and has to live frugally so that Li Qiaoniang can eat well and dress well. At the beginning, Xianggong Yue once vowed not to have a second wife, but now the words are still in my ears, but it is another Make a face..."

Zhang Xian has been fighting outside these days, guarding one side alone, and came back only in the middle of the night last night, and fell asleep before talking to his wife. Now, listening to what his wife said, some monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out: "Fourth sister, what are you saying?" Where did you go? Li Qiaoniang is getting married, what is the matter with Mr. Guan Yue? If Gao Lin heard your words, wouldn’t he offend others? Don’t say too much, hurry up and help..."

"What's the matter with Guan Gaolin?"

"Because today's groom is Gao Lin."

Fourth Sister Gao was too surprised to speak.Gao Lin is her distant cousin. Five years ago, he joined the army with Zhang Xian. In the past few years, he has become more and more courageous in the battle, and has made some military achievements.Especially in the battle of Dongting, he was assigned to Ren Shi'an's first division, and made great contributions. He has been promoted to the third official, and now he is a general of the sixth rank.He is only 23 years old this year, and because he has been in the army for a long time, he is not married.Since Li Qiaoniang came to Daying, Gao Lin visited her home two or three times and met Li Qiaoniang.But she never noticed any abnormalities, so why did she want to marry Li Qiaoniang?
Fourth Sister Gao couldn't help but blamed her husband: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I only found out about Mr. Yue's military meeting in the middle of the night last night. How can I tell you? What's more, the military situation is tense now. The meeting just ended, and other generals deployed military operations overnight. I stayed for a drink because I was related to Gao Lin." Dinner."

"Ah? What is Mr. Yue doing? Really. No wonder, Mrs. Yue is still smiling every day these days. Fortunately, my family has been apologetic and dare not say hello to her."

"Yue Xianggong has his own arrangements, why worry about it?"

Fourth Sister Gao looked at her husband suspiciously, always feeling that her husband knew something and hadn't told her before.But she has a gentle temperament, and her husband doesn't ask if he doesn't talk about it.But full of curiosity, he couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and ran outside.

Going out and turning left, I saw laughter and laughter in the barracks. It turned out that Gao Lin, who had changed into a new outfit, was surrounded by everyone, and his face was full of joy.She looked at her cousin from a distance, but couldn't go to say hello, so she just ran to Yue Pengju's house.

The private house rented by the Yue family had been split into two earlier.The east chamber was lived by Yue Pengju and his wife, and the west chamber was lived by Li Qiaoniang. At this time, the west chamber was already full of female relatives.
