Queen of Arms

Chapter 36 Trap ([-])

I thought that this day would pass like this, after eating, I should do what I should do, but it just didn't make people go so smoothly!The queen raised her head, her voice was not too loud, just enough for everyone to hear clearly, "There is still a happy event to be announced today."

Everyone raised their heads one after another. Everyone was taken aback by what the queen said, and they all secretly guessed in their hearts what would be a good thing?Bu Ziyan put down the chopsticks in her hand, suddenly felt that the food was tasteless, and raised her head to look directly at the face that made her dumbfounded.

"The emperor and I are discussing about marrying the side concubine to King Ling Xiao. There are two candidates for the side concubine, one is Bu Zilin, the eldest lady of the general's mansion, and the other is Jixiang Gege. Both of them are very good, with outstanding talents and looks. One can play the qin well, and the other was watched by us when we were young. We couldn’t decide which one was better. In the end, the emperor said that good things come in pairs, so why don’t you marry two concubines together? Do you think this is a great happy event? Ah! Hehe." After the queen finished speaking, everyone congratulated, but the person concerned, King Ling Xiao, had a frosty face.The queen's face was slightly troubled, "What? Does King Ling Xiao not appreciate the emperor's kindness?"

"Don't dare." Huangfu Aofeng's face became more and more ugly, and he grabbed Bu Ziyan's hand more and more forcefully.

"Then why are you unhappy? Could it be that your concubine disagrees? Don't all the women in the General's Mansion think that a man will marry a woman for the rest of his life?" Nangong Die looked at Bu Ziyan with a smile on her face. It must be a bit like Zhi Ning back then, that crazy woman who made her jealous!Men can do everything for her, but now her daughter also wants to be favored alone?She hasn't put Bu Ziyan in her eyes yet, how can a meek woman who only knows how to eat and laugh stop her Nangong Die's plan?

When Bu Ziyan heard her question about herself, she glanced at Bu Chengfeng's worried eyes from the corner of her eye. He was quietly shaking his head at her, signaling her not to act foolishly. She smiled brighter, with soft red lips opening and closing, bright big eyes Blinking innocently, all the people present were excited, who doesn't like to see beautiful women? "Your Majesty is joking, how can I be so ignorant! Your Majesty's kindness, I still want to learn from you and find some beauties for the prince. In this way, it will save my heart."

Under the table, Huangfu Aofeng, pinched by Bu Ziyan's little hand, endured very hard.He knew that she had always been a stingy guy emotionally, but it was good for her, she threw this hot potato to him directly, and she became a good person.

"I also think that Zi Yan is not a stingy woman. Besides, my elder sister also married into the palace, so the two sisters will not feel bored together. Now that it is decided, we will get married in three days."

"I object." Huangfu Aofeng stood up, and Ji Xiang and Bu Zilin who were present were worried at the same time.

"Why?" The emperor really couldn't see it anymore, "The royal family needs blood. You have been married to Ziyan for two years, but she hasn't had anything. Now that you are twenty, you must marry a side concubine to continue the incense."

"Father, in this life, it is enough for me to have a purple face." Huangfu Aofeng's eyes were firm, "I don't want other women."

"Shut up! Beast! Where are you going to put all my painstaking efforts! Don't mention this matter again, there is no room for discussion! You go back to the mansion and prepare to marry the side concubine in three days! Cough cough." The emperor coughed violently due to emotion, He waved his hand, and went back to the palace to rest with the help of Eunuch Li.

The people left behind looked embarrassed, wondering whether they should congratulate King Ling Xiao, it seemed that he was not happy.

"Don't worry, I will never forget our oath, side concubine, I will definitely not marry!" Huangfu Aofeng held Bu Ziyan's hand tightly, and looked at her seriously.

The atmosphere was a bit dull, and Bu Ziyan sat in the carriage returning home silently, until she returned to her room, she did not let Wan'er and Huarong wait on her, she took off her clothes and got into the quilt, breathing evenly, as if Fell asleep.Huangfu Aofeng came in after him and found that she was already in bed, he sighed and sat on the side of the bed, "I know you are not asleep, talk to me?"

The only answer to him was silence. "What do you want to make you happy? I'm going to find my father right now and let him withdraw the imperial decree overnight, okay?" He lay down in front of Bu Ziyan, looking at her beautiful face.

A teardrop slid down her cheek. She never knew that Huangfu Aofeng was so important in her heart. When she heard that he wanted to marry another woman, her heart was so painful that she couldn't breathe. God knows how she endured it just now. Yes, with a heart torn apart and a smile on your face at the same time!

Seeing the tears streaming down Bu Ziyan's face, Huangfu Aofeng panicked for a moment. She was very strong since she was a child, and she almost never saw her shed a tear. Even when she was injured in martial arts, she never shed a tear.He held her in his arms and kissed her forehead, "Don't cry, okay? I feel sorry for you."

"Go away! I don't want you to care! No man is a good thing! You see one and love the other. When your concubine arrives in a few days, you won't care about me!" Bu Ziyan cried like a child Shouting, no matter how he comforted her, she couldn't stop her, crying out of strength, curled up in Huangfu Aofeng's arms trembling and sobbing softly, he patted her on the back lightly like coaxing a child.She fell asleep after a while, and he fetched warm water, wiped off the sweat from crying for her, held her in his arms again, rested his chin on the top of her head, and was very preoccupied.

The crisp and melodious chirping of the birds disturbed Bu Ziyan in her sleep. She was dreaming that Huangfu Aofeng was holding another woman in his arms and smiling provocatively at her. She sat up from the bed and habitually looked at the other half Bed, empty!

"Wan'er!" She sat on the bed and yelled angrily, she hadn't fully woken up from her sleep.

Soon, Wan'er opened the gauze curtain and walked in. Seeing Bu Ziyan's disheveled face and red and swollen eyes, she immediately became nervous, "Miss, what's wrong with you? Why are your eyes so red?" Wan'er hurried over to observe her carefully. There is no injury to the eyes, maybe he got angry in the palace last night and didn't sleep well at night?

"Where is the prince?" Bu Ziyan asked anxiously, not bothering to pay attention to Wan'er's eyes.

"Oh, my lord called the people in the palace early in the morning. He didn't let me wake you up, but let you sleep a little longer." Wan'er replied truthfully, her eyes moved down, and she saw the white hair on Bu Ziyan's half-exposed chest. The still purple hickey, the expression was puzzled at first, and then smiled clearly.

Bu Ziyan naturally knew what she was laughing at, pulled up the pure white underwear, pursed her lips and muttered, "Damn girl, you don't have good eyes! How long has the prince been away?"

Wan'er chuckled, and then turned to worry again, "Miss, you slept soundly today, it's almost noon now, so the lord has been out for a long time!"

"Get dressed for me, I'm going to the palace to find him!" Last night, he seemed to be in a daze as if he said that he was going to go to the emperor to withdraw his order. Did he really go?Was punished by the emperor?Was he tortured?That stubborn donkey-like man will definitely not speak soft words even if he is beaten to death!Thinking about it this way, I became even more anxious, why did I sleep until this hour?Xu Shi had never cried so happily in these years. After crying, he felt a lot more relaxed and open-minded.
