Chapter 90

This is a war with great disparity in strength. There is no smoke, but there is murder at every step.

After the quarrel with Ling Buyi, Shao Shang was filled with confusion. He was thinking about how to get rid of those people who were following him, and then he felt soft. He thought that Ling Buyi also had good intentions. He shouldn’t be so powerful just now, and should be softer.

Unexpectedly, before it was time to get off work, Huang Menling, who was next to the emperor, came to deliver an oral message, asking the young merchant to live in the Changqiu Palace from now on, and there was no need to go home. One could become more familiar with etiquette, and the other could help prepare the queen’s Qianqiu Banquet.

All in all, accompanying the dignified and virtuous queen day and night can make the young businessman’s ears and eyes wet, and those who are close to red will be red – obviously the emperor did not consider that there are those who are close to black and black.

Shaoshang became weak at that moment, as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue, or as if a bucket of expired pickle water had been poured on his head. His whole body was stiff and dazed for a while before he came to his senses.If you quarrel in the front, you will be detained in the back. Is there anything unclear about the matter?!

She cursed Ling Buyi ten thousand times in her belly, this bastard of eighteen generations of ungrateful ancestors. First, I didn’t destroy your family property. Second, I didn’t destroy your future. Third, I didn’t let your head turn green into the Hulunbuir prairie. You are marrying a bright media, and you performed the post-modern behaviorist style of blocking roads and robbing. You have unique taste. In short, I will hate you as much as the sea!

“Your Excellency, I have received His Majesty’s decree and understand His Majesty’s good intentions, but…” Shao Shang said with a desperate struggle, “Can you tell me to go home today to pack up my belongings? I will go to the palace early tomorrow morning without any delay.” She wants to go home and ask Father Cheng and Director Xiao for advice on how to fix that bastard named Ling!

Unexpectedly, the Huangmenling was all smiles, “Ms. Cheng, don’t worry, Master Ling has already prepared it for you. The people around him will bring you what you need in a while. Don’t worry, Master Ling, he has been working for His Majesty since he was fourteen years old. Everything is done properly and without leakage.”

Shaoshang felt dizzy and felt possessed.

Sure enough, before dinner time, Liang Qiufei was seen leading a group of heavily-laden eunuchs and maids, one by one, moving all the living objects to the room newly designated by the queen to the young merchant. The young merchant could only watch the busy people arranging things indoors.

Four sets of lacquered wooden cabinets that are as tall as one person are placed against the wall; eight tall brass palace lanterns are located at the four corners – four in the shape of flying swallows, two in the shape of palace maids, and two in the shape of branches. The first six can hide smoke inside;

Six sets of brand-new embroidered brocade bed tents, two sets of soft silk, two sets of tulle, breathable ramie and heavy brocade;

There are three table tables, a square dressing table, a long book table, and a small round table for placing snacks and flowers;

There are two dowry utensils on the makeup table, one large and one small. The larger one is a double-layered painted jewelry box, and the smaller one is a nine-piece set of powder and ointment makeup boxes. Judging from their heavy appearance, both dowry utensils should be filled with things;

There are seven or eight instant noodles stacked side by side, made of bamboo, lacquered wood, and even ones stretched with damask…

When the young Shang turned around, he saw that the lacquered wooden cabinet had been filled with piles of silk, satin and fine linen of various colors, ranging from outer clothes and underwear to silk cloaks and even underwear.

She couldn’t help but sigh: “Fei Weiwei, your young master is really very fast in his actions.” It was all set up so quickly. It couldn’t have been stored at home early.Thinking about this, she felt a little soft in her heart and decided to forgive Ling Buyi a little bit.

Liang Qiufei stood far outside the corridor, his lips trembled a few times, and the little yellow doorman on the side rushed to answer with a smile: “Ms. Cheng doesn’t know something. Originally, Master Ling wanted to go back to the palace to get it, but later, Your Majesty directly opened the palace treasury and let you choose for yourself.”

Shao Shang swallowed the chaotic energy in his belly and forced a smile: “I mean, why did it get done so quickly?” Well, she was ignorant, and now she won’t forgive him even one bit!

“…but those clothes were sent back to the mansion by Master Ling to pick them up.” Xiao Huangmen continued.

Shaoshang: Can you finish it in one breath?

“Do you, sir, have anything else you want to convey?” She asked pretending to be arrogant when she saw Xiao Huangmen running to the house very diligently to direct the maids in their work.

Liang Qiufei seemed to know something, and said with a grimace: “My lord, as you wish, all personnel have been withdrawn. If you have anything, you can go find him yourself.”

Others could not understand these words, but Shao Shang knew it in his heart. He was surprised and said: “He agreed? Then, can I go home?” Knowing that mistakes can be corrected is a good thing, so she decided to forgive him a few times.

“…You can’t go home yet.” Liang Qiufei’s voice became lower and lower. “My lord said, either the manpower is here or the manpower has been withdrawn. You should think carefully about it these days.”

Shaoshang thought about these words several times before he understood it. He sneered and said, “You adults don’t think that I can’t survive in this palace without he, do you?”

Liang Qiufei didn’t even dare to raise his head, and it took him a while to summon up the courage: “Young master, everyone in my family is doing this for your own good, so…” Before he could speak, he was interrupted by the furious girl: “Am I not doing it for myself? Only he is doing it for me, okay!”

After shouting this, seeing that the eunuchs and maids were almost attracted, the young Shang could only stomp away.

Liang Qiufei didn’t dare to open his mouth anymore and fled out of the Changqiu Palace as fast as he could. As he ran, he vowed to ask his brother, who had four confidants, for advice on how to talk to the girl when he returned.

Shaoshang went straight back to his previous temporary room, wrote a few words on a bamboo slip, sealed it with fire paint in a cloth bag, and asked the palace maid to take it to the Cheng family outside the palace.Unexpectedly, the palace maid expressed her embarrassment. Without a “way”, the news in the palace could not be sent out. If she randomly approached the guards outside the palace to send a message, she would be beaten to death with a stick. The crime was “privately giving and receiving, and spreading forbidden internal affairs without permission”.

Shaoshang took a deep breath, protected his three inches of Dantian, took a photo of the case, and turned to the Queen to ask for help.

As a result, the queen seemed completely unaware and said with a hint of surprise: “Sending a message? No need. Zi Sheng said he would make arrangements with his family for you. Didn’t he tell you? I am very happy that you are willing to stay with me in the palace, but I am afraid that you will feel lonely.”

Shaoshang looked at the queen’s smiling and happy face, held back his internal injuries, and returned home defeated again.

In the next few days, Shaoshang seemed to be isolated from the real world. He only studied, ate, rested, walked with the queen and gossiped.Standing in the palace walls above your head, time passes extremely slowly. Even the dripping in the copper pot looks like a slow-motion shot in an old movie. It takes a long time for each drop to fall.

On the second day of staying in the palace, Shao Shang counted the whiskers and eyelashes of the civet cat raised by the palace maid. On the third day, she counted the number of blue stones from the Changqiu Palace gate to the corridor.Now she finally knows why the queen is so knowledgeable, because she has nothing to do every day except holding books and reading slowly to chat.

Ling Buyi still came every day, but Shaoshang was very determined not to talk to him or even look at him.However, it seems that Ling Buyi has no intention of talking to her and looking at her. He is still as polite and gentle, and his behavior is well-behaved, as bright as the moon on a spring night, and as refreshing as the autumn breeze. From the moment he stepped into the gate of Changqiu Palace, the eyes of the maids in the palace were filled with light of joy.

Shaoshang couldn’t tell anyone that they had a fight, so he could only hold it in until he died.

However, even if the two of them behaved as usual, the queen noticed the clues in just three days.

When the emperor stayed in the Changqiu Palace that night, she couldn’t help but ask the emperor her doubts.The emperor pretended to be ignorant at first and didn’t know anything about it. The queen beat Feng Tao and whispered: “…he pretended that nothing happened, but in words and deeds, we are no longer as intimate as before.”

“Zi Sheng actually made out with Shao Shang in front of you?” The emperor was a little excited.

The Queen stopped slapping Feng Tao and started slapping the Emperor: “I’m talking about intimacy, intimacy! Not intimacy! Your Majesty, where did you hear that? In the past, sometimes flowers and leaves would fall on Shaoshang’s head, and Zi Sheng would brush them away for her. When they walked, they would hold hands, talk and laugh, and the way they looked at each other… Alas, everything has changed in the past few days. Your Majesty, did you two have a fight?”

The emperor said: “It’s just a few words, nothing important.”

The queen lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said clearly: “Your Majesty, it is not her own intention that Shao Shang stays in the palace. Did Zi Sheng force her to stay?”

“You talk about coercion.” The emperor pretended to be indifferent. “The quarrels between young men and women are just for fun.”

The Queen said anxiously: “Your Majesty, the young Shang has been listless these past few days. She looks very pitiful. She has a temper that is used to being free. She cannot withstand the constraints of the palace. This is not good!”

“Zi Sheng is also very pitiful!” The emperor immediately retorted, “He has lost weight again in the past few days.”

“In your Majesty’s eyes, Zi Sheng is losing weight every day.” The Queen replied in a rare voice.

Seeing that the queen was angry, the emperor put his arms around her shoulders and lay down next to her, coaxing: “You don’t know, it is said that a couple can’t be a couple without grudges, and how can they get married without quarrels? He and I used to be harmonious, but I always feel that something is missing. It’s good to quarrel. It’s not a bad thing to quarrel from time to time. When they reconcile, there will be no barrier between the two. Besides, they are just arguing…”

The Queen was shocked: “A literary quarrel? Is there also a military quarrel? Could it be that fighting only counts!”

The emperor laughed out loud: “I know Mo Hai. If there is a fight, it is not a quarrel. It is called a ‘fight in the tent’. The quarrel is like the one between Uncle Wang and the old princess in Ruyang. Everyone knows about the quarrel and loses face. Where are you two now?”

Listening to the emperor’s words, it was pleasant and smooth, as if he was very familiar with it. The queen was a little depressed. After a while, she said softly: “Then what if they don’t reconcile. Are we just in a stalemate like this?”

The emperor seemed to be remembering the past and sighed: “How can there be a stalemate forever? Alas, there are no lovers in this world who are always stalemate. After the quarrel, they either reconcile or part ways. But…” He smiled again and said, “Don’t worry, Zisheng and Shaoshang will not be like this. With me, they will live happily together…”

The queen was silent for a long time, resting her head on the emperor’s arm, and asked seriously and tenderly: “Your Majesty, although Shao Shang is occasionally ignorant, he is honest and honest, and his heart is pure. She is very sincere and filial to my concubine. You can give me face by betraying me and let Shao Shang go home every day to breathe.”

The emperor smiled and sighed: “I have to say that this little girl has some ability to please people. Well, for the sake of understanding, it will be until your birthday party. After your birthday, I will let you go regardless of whether you are reconciled or not. But you can’t tell Shao Shang about this, otherwise she will not be in a hurry to count the days until she can go home!”

Seeing that the emperor had given in, the queen could only smile and nod in agreement.
