Concubine can't do it

Chapter 44 How bad is it in your heart

Su Ling patiently listened to her, then stroked the armrest of the seat and said, "You are so timid, it's not suitable for you to stay by Chen'er's side."

Hua Zhengxuan was silent.

Su Ling faced his direction and didn't speak.

After a while, Hua Zhengxuan took a deep breath, and said slowly, "Minister has no delusional desire to stay by Mr. Jun's side. She just wants to do her best to help him once. Or more times. This kind of mood is consistent with the famous Points don't matter."

But it's about money!

She felt like she could still struggle a bit!
"It has nothing to do with status?" King Yun chuckled, "I heard that Miss Hua came from a brothel, right?"

Hua Zhengxuan frankly admitted: "The folk girl is from Luoxiangfang, she is a qin girl."

"Qin Ji? How are you playing?"

"Aptitude is average, but if you practice diligently, it's probably not bad."

"Since you are diligent in practicing the piano, how can you know about the battlefield?" Su Ling shook his head, "The screen door is currently at war, and it may break out at any time. Even if there are two wolves around, there is still no guarantee that Chen'er will be safe. What's more You? Chen'er was young, and thought that the king didn't agree with him because he didn't have a woman around him who could take care of him, but in fact, the king was more worried about how he could take care of himself when he was alone; Is he capable of taking care of others when the one he loves is by his side?"

Hua Zhengxuan squeezed his fist again, thinking about what Yan's wife, Huo Qiannian, said in the teahouse.

"If a man wants to fight, just accompany him. The worst thing is to die, and there is nothing wrong with dying together."

Closing his eyes, Hua Zhengxuan said: "Minnv cannot guarantee to take good care of him. But she can guarantee that she will not be taken care of by him. If there is a problem, Minnv will try her best to solve it for him. But Minnv, it is absolutely impossible Become his problem. Even if life and death are at stake, Minnv can sacrifice herself first, so that he has no worries."

Su Ling's voice was very gentle, but there was a hint of persuasion, "Then you haven't thought about how your death will affect him?"

Unprepared, her heart twitched suddenly, and she shivered from the pain.Hua Zhengxuan was puzzled, but he still dared to answer after careful consideration: "He will remember that there was a woman who died for him in his life."

Su Ling touched his mask, "Don't you think he will be distraught, lose his mind, and act irrationally?"

Knowing that he couldn't see, she still shook her head slowly.

"If you lose your lover, King Yun's description is correct. But Mr. Jun has something else in his heart, and Minnv is just someone he thinks is suitable to stay by his side. The loss of such a person is the same as losing one of his subordinates, or even worse. How can there be too much grief for the subordinates who have followed him for so many years?"

"You mean he doesn't have much affection for you?" King Yun suddenly raised his voice, sounding a little disappointed.

Hua Zhengxuan insisted on his own statement: "At least in Minnv's eyes, Mr. Jun is treating Princess Mingxi wholeheartedly."

Su Ling's hand gripping the armrest had veins.

"Two months."

"What?" Hua Zhengxuan didn't hear clearly.

Su Ling stood up and stood on the high platform with his hands behind his back, holding his head upright like a king.

"Give you two months, let him give up the idea of ​​being with Mingxi, and put his feelings on you wholeheartedly."

"This..." Hua Zhengxuan hesitated.

Su Ling said coldly: "Chen'er, you can't be with Mingxi."

"I don't know, what's the reason?"

"You have no right to know."

"..."

Has she heard similar words more than once?Why are people with power and money so overbearing?
But I can probably guess that Jun Qingchen and Su Mingxi, cousins, will always feel inappropriate when they are together.Even if Jun Qingchen "doesn't work", the mundane is the mundane.

There was a knock on the door, but it was Su Qinglian.Su Ling sat back again, the previous aura was wiped away, and he calmed down, "Come in."

Su Qinglian walked in first, followed by Jun Qingchen.

"Father, Lord Jun and Mrs. Jun, General Liu and General Chen, businessmen and couples from Jinhuai State, and Marshal Huo who fought against Xiao State before have all arrived. Please also move to the banquet hall."

Su Ling nodded, raised a hand and said, "Lian'er, help me out."

Su Qinglian hurried up the steps, helped Su Ling to go outside.

When Hua Zhengxiu heard Su Qinglian say that Mr. Yan, his wife and Marshal Huo had arrived, he was a little excited and relieved.After getting along for half an afternoon, she found that the three of them were very easy to talk to.

But seeing Jun Qingchen's complexion, she quietly suppressed her joy.

Jun Qingchen looked very unhappy.

"Did something happen?" Hua Zhengxuan asked with concern.

"Uncle's attitude was always vague before, so I thought he was against it, but I didn't expect him to use you to replace Mingxi..." Jun Qingchen gritted his teeth.

Hua Zhengxuan looked at him for a while, then raised his hand to touch his tight jaw.

"If the young master is angry about this matter, then there is no need. I have self-knowledge and will not do anything to hinder the relationship between the young master and the princess."

Jun Qingchen loosened his teeth, "Then how will you explain when the time comes?"

"Isn't it easy to give an explanation?" Hua Zhengxie withdrew his finger, "The concubine said that she had empathized with her, what else can King Yun do to us? A woman in a brothel with no name and no distinction, seeing more For a good man, empathy can be justified."

Jun Qingchen: "..."

He had never seen such a brazen woman, and it was very easy to talk about empathy and separation.

But on second thought, what she said really made sense.She was just here to help, and she had crossed paths with him a few times but never had a romantic relationship.Although he has saved her once, it seems that he doesn't want to promise her with his body every time he is saved, right?

Besides, now, he is asking her for help.She owed him nothing, never asked him for anything.Whether it's money or pets, he gave her everything on his own initiative, and it doesn't add up to much.Only her bracelet...she didn't know the meaning of it.

What's the matter, under normal circumstances, wouldn't it be as long as he smiles, hugs her, and kisses her cheeks twice, and the soul of a woman can be seduced by him?They said every day that he was not a good person, but when they really met him, there were no exceptions.

What's more, he even hugged her up, that's a treat that Mingxi didn't even have!

Jun Qingchen self-criticized in grief and indignation what he did not do well enough, but Hua Zhengxuan was ready to go out to accept the next test.

It's just that Master Jun and Mrs. Jun were there, thinking that Master Jun was my guest when I came here on the first day, I still felt a little awkward.

The two of them walked to the banquet hall one after another without delaying too long.When approaching the door, Jun Qingchen grabbed Hua Zhengxuan's hand.She whispered: "No matter whether you will empathize with others in the future, at least you have to have a soft spot for me now!"

"Understood." Hua Zhengxuan smiled slightly, "I only have Mr. Jun in my heart."

"This is not Luoxiangfang, don't call yourself a concubine to others."

"I know, the concubine's body is just the concubine's body of Mr. Jun. To others, I am me."

"Don't call me Mr. Jun, if you look born, just call me Qingchen."

Hua Zhengxuan continued to smile, her eyes narrowed: "Yes, sir..." After a pause, she suddenly tightened her arms and pulled his arm tightly, pressing her face against it, using sweet and greasy business to soften her Nuo shouted: "Qingchen!"

Jun Qingchen shuddered.

"You're not going to pick up customers. Are you making me uncomfortable or making yourself uncomfortable by sending me this tune here?"

With a serious look on his face, Hua Zhengxuan said, "I thought you men like such scumbags."

"..." This attitude, this tone, can change several times in a short while, and now she seems to have returned to the time when he bumped into her to pick up customers, she is not at all weak, not gentle, and not at all like the girl in the brothel woman.

That's right, she was also fierce.What he saw was that although he was drenched like a drenched chicken, he didn't cry or curse. Instead, he took the dirty clothes and stuffed them into the mouth, and successfully resisted.

It's really different from the timid little head card before...

There is something inexplicably weird in my heart, and I can't explain why.Jun Qingchen told her again: "Be normal", and then led her into the banquet hall through the side door.

The banquet hall is very large, even if seven guests are invited, plus Yun Wang's own father and son and Jun Qingchen Hua Zhengxiu, it still looks very empty, there is a distance of four or five feet between every two square tables.

These people are hardly familiar with each other, and three of them even come from foreign countries, and it is normal to be far away.

However, when Jun Qingchen shifted his gaze to his mother, his face immediately darkened.

Where is his father?How could the little girl he hated be sitting where his father was sitting?
Seeing that her son's expression was not very good, Su Xuan'er looked over, the guilty look flashed away, and she changed into a smile and beckoned.

Jun Qingchen dragged Hua Zhengxuan and walked over.

Su Xuan'er hastily poked the deer beside him.

Lu'er was probably taken care of by her, and changed into an exquisite dress, a water-blue snow gauze with a dark blue shawl, a small face with makeup and a maid's head removed, and changed into a dress commonly used by ladies and gentlemen. Hair style, it almost looks like a maid.

Except for the humble look when she saw Jun Qingchen and was urged to stand up.

"Slave...have met the young master."

However, Jun Qingchen acted as if he hadn't seen her, his eyes never swept over her, but settled on Su Xuan'er's face, with a little impatience, "Mother, is my sister not free today? Let you Bringing a maid from a brothel to attend uncle's banquet? Do you think this is a place where you can play around?"

"This... Chen'er," Su Xuan'er avoided his eyes in embarrassment, "Nian Bai is coming back soon, Yan'er is restless all day, how can she care to be with mother? Mother is alone , this deer likes my mother again, and my mother came here to take her just to have a companion."

"What about my dad? Where did you put my dad?!" Jun Qingchen growled.It was supposed to be a mandarin duck seat for the husband and wife, but the male host was pushed to another place. It was really because the people present had no intention of having fun, otherwise they would have laughed at this matter.

Su Xuan'er knew she was wrong, bit her lips and remained silent.

In the end, Jun Qingchen was more inclined to his mother, and after being depressed for a while, he stopped holding on to this matter.

In fact, needless to say, they could also see Master Jun sitting with Yan, as if they were discussing something.Mrs. Yan, who was supposed to sit with Yan, sat with her younger brother Huo Bao.The two generals, Liu and Chen, were talking with Prince Yun and his son, and what they were talking about at this time was bound to be some important content.

In the face of a great enemy, no one cares about the trivial matter of who is not sitting with whom.

Hua Zhengxuan took Qianjun Qingchen's sleeve, "Qingchen, it's important."

Jun Qingchen pursed his lips when he heard the words, turned around and walked towards King Yun.

Hua Zhengxuan let go of her, and stayed at Mrs. Jun's desk.

Jun Qingchen turned around and glanced at her unexpectedly.

"Leave it to me here." Hua Zhengxuan said to his lips.

The peaceful gaze, without righteousness or starlight, the corners of the mouth slightly curled up like a wife waiting for her husband to come home from errands, plain but with a little tenderness, made his heartstrings twitch slightly.

Also a little relieved.

Seeing that he continued to walk, Hua Zhengxuan turned around and saluted Su Xuan'er.

"I was rude just now, I hope Mrs. Jun will not blame me."

Su Xuan'er looked her up and down, "The girl is..."

Lu'er turned his eyes, knelt back, and said first: "Mother, this is the elder sister Zhengxie that Lu'er often mentioned. She was the best person to Lu'er when she was in Luoxiangfang."

Goddamn?

Hua Zhengxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, then smiled and remained silent.Su Xuan'er was slightly surprised after hearing this, "Chen'er's favorite person is her?"

Lu'er smiled delicately, with a look of loneliness in her eyes, "Yes. I was the one who pretended to be affectionate before, thinking that my brother liked me..."

"It's okay, isn't there a godmother who likes you? The godmother treats you no worse than Chen'er treats others, right?" Su Xuan'er comforted her while asking Hua Zhengxuan: "Since it's someone brought by Chen'er, then why not?" Is he the one that Chen'er is going to take away?"

Hearing this tone, Mrs. Jun already knew about Jun Qingchen's going to the screen door, she didn't look very happy, and there was a little reproach in her tone, as if she was messing with Jun Qingchen to go to the screen door.

But Hua Zhengxuan had long been used to being harsh and mean, and although he was sensitive to this kind of vague reproach, he didn't feel much about it.

Then he laughed and said, "Master Jun is indeed going to take the girls to the screen door."

Su Xuan'er glanced at her up and down, and sighed leisurely: "Look at this fragile appearance, I don't know where Chen'er's brain is wrong, he thinks it's too many to have ten guards for him, let him take Lu'er with him I think it's a drag. Lu'er is also good at washing and cooking, so it's better than bringing such a flimsy and useless woman."

"Godmother, don't say that. Sister Zhengxiu is very good at playing the piano. I don't know how many senior executives and wealthy businessmen in Luoxiangfang have thrown thousands of taels of gold and silver out for her service!"

"What's the use of being good at playing the piano! Can you also bring the dead back to life and cook raw rice?"

The two girls were talking one sentence at a time, and Lu'er still gave Hua Zhengxuan two apologetic looks from time to time.Hua Zhengxuan stood quietly where Mrs. Jun disliked her, and listened to Lu'er paint her darker and darker.

She seemed to understand right away, why Lu'er refused to let her redeem her, and wanted to go to Jun's house even if she broke her head.

It's a pity that it's a child after all, and the fox's tail was exposed too early.

I thought men couldn't believe it, and sisterhood could maintain a person's life.But now, Hua Zhengxuan feels that apart from relying on himself, everything is empty.

"Madam Jun."

Su Xuan'er, who had been commenting with Lu'er, heard that she was being called, and then turned to look at Hua Zhengmao after a pause, "What's wrong?"

"Master Jun often mentioned to Minnv that Mrs. Jun is beautiful and kind-hearted, and she is indeed so. Minnv's younger sister Lu'er is fortunate to be Mrs. Jun's adoptive daughter, and Minnv is also happy for her."

Su Xuan'er was stunned, not understanding what Hua Zhengxuan said.

But I heard Hua Zhengxuan continue: "Originally, the daughter of the people thought that if Master Jun didn't want to marry Lu'er, Lu'er might be kicked out if she married another family. Now that there is Mrs. Jun, Lu'er probably I can stay with you for the rest of my life. From now on, sister Lu'er will have no worries about food and clothing, and Minnv can rest assured."

Lu'er's face turned pale when she said it, and he stood up suddenly and said, "Why did my sister say that to me all of a sudden!"

Su Xuan'er on the side was surprised after hearing this, but when she saw Lu'er's reaction, she asked in confusion, "Lu'er, why did you get kicked out when you married into another family?"

Lu'er bit her lip, glanced at Su Xuan'er, then at Madam Jun, hesitant to speak.

This problem is not easily evaded.

Hua Zhengxuan lowered his eyes, and his voice suddenly lowered two tunes: "After all, we are both born in a brothel, even if we are just a maidservant, we will inevitably be gossiped about. Madam is kind, regardless of her status, but not everyone is kind. Not long ago One of Minnv's friends who is a dancer was finally abandoned by someone who had been in love for many years because of her status, and she almost threw her life into it on impulse."

Su Xuan'er was taken aback for a moment, and after thinking about it, it was true that what the other party said made sense.In this way, Lu'er deserves more sympathy.Their backgrounds are not good, unlike her, she was born as a princess and was loved all the time. She didn't know that there are difficult things in the world until she joined the Jun's family. Since then, she has lived in the deep house compound for a long time, and she doesn't hear anything outside the window. , I have hardly heard of these cruel things Hua Zhengxuan said.

Everyone despises the status of a prostitute, so naturally she also detests her.But because the meal Lu'er gave her really liked her, and the man looked pleasing, well-behaved and not thoughtful, so she liked it, and thought that if her son liked it too, she would let Lu'er marry him.After all, she is an experienced person, and she hopes that her son can marry someone she likes.

It's a pity that by mistake, the son has another place in his heart.This is indeed a beautiful person.What's the use of being beautiful?She looks more complicated than Lu'er, such a girl, she is afraid that she will be hurt.

For example, if she wasn't there, maybe Qingchen wouldn't go to the screen door?There is a war going on, how dangerous!She didn't want her son to risk his death!

After thinking and thinking, Su Xuan'er first comforted Lu'er: "It's okay, the godmother won't dislike you. The godmother will redeem you from that ghostly place and become the godmother's daughter! Yan'er is also well-behaved and sensible Yes, the two of you will definitely get along! It's a pity that Yan'er is about to get married... Alas, Godmother wishes you could stay with Godmother for the rest of her life!" Lu'er persuaded and sat down.

Lu'er's face also softened a little, and he looked at Hua Zhengmai tentatively, his anger had not yet dissipated, he was a little wary, but also a little puzzled and grateful.

Then Su Xuan'er fixed his gaze on Hua Zhengxuan again.

"Although I sympathize with you when you say that, you are different from Lu'er. Lu'er is just doing odd jobs, but you take customers. My Jun family will not accept a prostitute as a daughter-in-law. If you know the general idea, you will leave the world." Go farther away."

Hua Zhengxuan lowered his eyes, "Forgive Minnv's bluntness, Minnv has never taken the initiative to provoke Master Jun. It is Young Master Jun who has repeatedly taken the initiative to find Minnv, not only interfering with Minnv's livelihood, but also wants to take Minnv to the screen door. The Oiran Contest is just around the corner. Leaving at this time will not only cause Minnv to miss the opportunity, but also make Minnv and her younger brother unable to see each other for a long time, seriously affecting Minnv's life. If possible, Minnv hopes that Mrs. Jun can take care of it Young Master Jun, let him stop interfering in the lives of the girls."

"This..." Su Xuan'er didn't expect that the other party would fight against her.She asked people to leave her son, but they said that her son had stuck to her face and it was not easy to drive him away. He wanted to ask if he could help him drive him away.

She wanted to refute, but judging from her son's attitude before, it seemed that this was the truth.

Su Xuan'er was secretly sad.Her son has been filial since he was a child, but he is even more disobedient!They are all weak, and there is no woman in the backyard. Even if they can't have children, they have to find some old ones to accompany them!

At this time, Jun Qingchen went to listen to the conversation and the conversation was over, so he walked over.Seeing that her son was here, Su Xuan'er couldn't say anything ugly, so she had to let Hua Zhengxie be taken away by her son.

"What did you and my mother say?" Jun Qingchen led Hua Zhengxuan to their table and asked in a low voice.

"I didn't say anything, but I saw another person clearly." Hua Zhengxuan sighed softly, "You were right at the time, Lu'er did have some problems."

It is a bit too much to move people with one's miserable life experience, and then use the emotional card to pave the way for oneself, and blackmail others to show one's innocence.

"Why, see clearly?" Jun Qingchen snorted, "This little girl has always been very considerate."

Hua Zhengxuan asked, "How did you find out, Young Master?"

"Just because I was tired from standing and wanted to change my posture, she used it to perform a good show of flopping as soon as I stretched out my feet."

"Eh!?" Hua Zhengxuan's eyes widened in surprise, and then he covered his mouth, but he was still astonished, "Didn't you do it that time, my lord?"

Jun Qingchen looked at the steaming teacup in front of him, "No matter how bastard I am, I can't afford to bully a little girl. I don't know whether she fell on purpose or not, but I'm sure she didn't trip over me. As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, "The taste is average. The fruit tea I didn't drink at your place was delicious."

"Fruit tea is delicious, but it's a pity that I can't drink it myself." Hua Zhengxie let go of his hand covering his mouth, sat up straight, and quietly watched the maids shuttle back and forth to set up dishes at several tables .

"Is it because of the Screen Door War?"

"My son actually knows."

Although he is stubborn, he still takes care of his family's business, and he still has these few sources of news in his hands. How can he continue to mess around without knowing it?Jun Qingchen curled his lips and turned to look at her: "How bad am I in your heart?"
