Born in the prestigious Jiang family, with charming eyes, Jiang Lao was born with wealth, beauty, and backing.
The Ninth Prince had disabled legs, had been sick for many years, with a distort...
Jiang Rao wanted to ask Hu Li, but her relationship with Hu Li was not as close as that with Hu Tang. When it came to this kind of thing, she was somewhat embarrassed to speak up. It would not even be more natural to ask the maid from the palace. Since they had only met a few times, she was not so shy to ask.
She thought about it and although she was a little confused, she didn't want Hu Li to misunderstand her, so she retracted her hand and said calmly, "I've always been delicate, and my wrists get bruised easily."
This explains the matter.
…
Hu Tang and Hu Li had a quarrel about marriage. Hu Li had been unable to win over her sister in the beginning, and even after she got married, she still couldn't win. In the end, she bowed her head and apologized to Hu Tang first. Hu Tang got a result that satisfied him, and smiled secretly with the corners of his lips curled.
Jiang Rao understood Hu Tang's thoughts and would not say anything to urge her to get married. She was just a little curious about whether Hu Tang would get married in the end. She was waiting to send Hu Li away. She asked Hu Tang to stay with her for a while, took Hu Tang's hand and asked, "You don't want to marry the young master of the Zhang family, do you have anyone else you like?"
If Hu Tang said yes, she would like to take a look for him to see if he is suitable or not.
After returning to Jinling, she didn't acquire any other skills, but she had more and more ways to get information.
Hu Tang shook his head. "I don't like those with ugly appearances. I think those with a lot of knowledge are pedantic. And few people can compare with me in using swords and guns. I don't like the good and the bad in the eyes of others. I might as well just live like an old maid. When I really can't get married, my mother may let me go to Mobei."
Jiang Rao gave up the idea of finding a marriage partner for Hu Tang.
Hu Tang glanced at Jiang Rao. Jiang Rao was not a very outgoing person, but she rarely hid her emotions. Her cheeks were rosy and her lips were red without any makeup. She looked very pretty and it was obvious that she was in a good mood. Seeing her like this, Hu Tang had a relieved expression, "You married well, so I am relieved too."
Jiang Rao burst out laughing. Hu Tang's tone was exactly the same as her mother's.
She saw Hu Tang off from the mansion, walking through the corridor and reaching the screen wall. Hu Tang stopped and looked back at the path they had walked.
The mansion is spacious, and because there are few people, it seems especially spacious.
Hu Tang suddenly became a little worried and said to Jiang Rao, "The young master of the Zhang family doesn't have much ability, but he has many concubines."
Hu Tang's sudden words made Jiang Rao raise her eyes.
I was a little confused and didn't understand why Hu Tang suddenly mentioned the young master of the Zhang family again.
Hu Tang nervously held Jiang Rao's hand and asked, "Will the King of Qi take a concubine in the future?"
Jiang Rao's eyes curved up, and she said firmly, "He won't."
She knew better than anyone that he didn't want to be touched by others.
Sometimes, it was because of this that she indulged him in his obsession with her.
"Even if he wants to..." Jiang Rao showed off her power in front of the little sisters. She raised her chin slightly and said in a self-important way, "That's not allowed."
She was holding a copy of the divorce papers in her hand.
…
Rong Ting was seeing Liao Qiubai off from the mansion. As he was walking to the screen wall, he heard Jiang Rao and Hu Tang talking. He stopped and the two of them listened to everything Jiang Rao said to Hu Tang.
A faint smile appeared on his lips. Liao Qiubai was a little surprised and said jokingly, "I didn't expect the lady to be so domineering."
Rong Ting didn't say anything in response, but just said "hmm" in a faint voice with a slight smile.
Liao Qiubai pondered his tone. It didn't seem like he was agreeing with what he said. Instead, he seemed to be happy with Jiang Rao's domineering behavior. The faint smile in his voice even sounded a bit like... indulgence?
How many men in the world want to marry a fierce wife? If you marry one, you can't tolerate others, otherwise you won't be able to live in peace in the backyard... Liao Qiubai suddenly realized something and looked at Rong Ting with a sidelong glance, a little surprised and surprised, "Your Highness, you are not really planning to take a concubine, right?"
Rong Ting glanced at him, knowing what he was thinking, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said as a warning: "Don't mention this again."
He said with his hands behind his back, "I already have my wife."
The famous Prince Qi was such a henpecked man. Liao Qiubai smiled dryly and said, "It's better not to take a concubine. It's better not to take a concubine."
…
Jiang Rao saw Hu Tang off and walked back. After going around the screen wall, she happened to see Rong Ting and Liao Qiubai.
She remembered that last time on the street, she misunderstood that Miss Shu, who was in love with Liao Qiubai, was in love with Rong Ting, and later she acted like a spoiled child towards Rong Ting... When she saw Liao Qiubai, she remembered how embarrassed she was. When she looked at Liao Qiubai, she blushed for a moment, bowed to Liao Qiubai, and quickly left.
Liao Qiubai returned the greeting to Jiang Rao, and then he felt a chill on his body. He looked around and saw only Rong Ting beside him. Rong Ting's eyes were on Jiang Rao, not on him. Liao Qiubai touched the back of his head in confusion, and had already started thinking about putting on more clothes when he returned.
Unexpectedly
It's already March and we're experiencing a late spring cold snap.
After Liao Qiubai left, Jiang Rao and Rong Ting returned to Sui'an Courtyard together.
Jiang Rao sent a maid to the kitchen to fetch the bowl of bird's nest soup that had been simmering on a low fire on the stove since noon.
Although she no longer believed that his body was so weak that he might die if he caught a cold, she was still worried about whether the things Rong Ting had experienced in his early years would cause him to have some illness. She went to the imperial physician to ask for suitable medicinal recipes, and the bird's nest soup was one of them, which could replenish qi and blood. Jiang Rao saw that Rong Ting looked pale. It was clearly his rest day allocated by the emperor these days, but he had already started discussing matters with others in the study. He must have been busy, so she thought of a way to ask the small kitchen to prepare these medicinal recipes.
She sent the maid away and wanted to go back to the house, but when she turned around, she saw Rong Ting sitting at the stone table in the yard, looking at her with deep and serious eyes.
Jiang Rao sat down next to him. Seeing that he looked like he had something to say, she remained silent and didn't speak first, as if waiting for him to speak first.
Rong Ting looked at Jiang Rao. She looked at him seriously with a rosy face.
She just looked at Liao Qiubai and saw his face blushing.
She was looking at him now, but she didn't blush.
Rong Ting narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice, "What do you think of Liao Qiubai?"
Jiang Rao was stunned.
Liao Qiubai?
She had no idea about the official style, but as for his character and appearance...
The last time her father was framed, Liao Qiubai ran around, and although he was working for Rong Ting, he was still helping her. Although his appearance is not as handsome as Pan An, he is handsome and generous, and he is also capable. Jiang Rao's eyes curved slightly, "Lord Liao has both good looks and talents."
She looked at Rong Ting with smiling eyes.
Such a powerful person is his staff.
Then he is the most powerful one.
Her eyes sparkled with admiration, "What did Lord Liao talk to you about just now?"
Rong Ting was upset by her gaze. After she finished asking, he was silent for a while and then slowly said, "He said that men should take concubines."
Jiang Rao was stunned.
Rong Ting said in a calm voice, "I want to change more than one."
He stretched out his hand, put his fingertips into Jiang Rao's palm, bent his finger bones, and held her hand in his palm, "I disagreed with him and had a dispute with him."
Liao Qiubai had not gone far from Prince Qi's Mansion. Just as he arrived at the entrance of Wuyi Lane, he touched his ear in the carriage and felt itchy. Considering the chilly feeling he had felt at Rong Ting's mansion, he suspected that he had caught a cold and went straight to the pharmacy.
…
Jiang Rao was a little disappointed when she heard Liao Qiubai say that men should take concubines. But then she listened to Rong Ting's words and realized that Liao Qiubai was actually trying to lead her husband astray?
So angry.
"Will the marriage between Lord Liao and Miss Shu be successful?" She asked Rong Ting with a frown.
"Why do you ask this?"
Rong Ting's hand tapped lightly on the stone table.
Jiang Rao paused, a little hesitant.
She didn't really want to bring up her misunderstanding of Miss Shu in front of him again.
It's so embarrassing.
But between husband and wife, there are always things that cannot be said and things that cannot be said...it may not be too depressing.
Jiang Rao lowered her eyelids, and was startled again, "I misunderstood that Miss Shu was interested in you."
Last time, he was drunk and said it like crazy, but this time he said it when he was sober. Jiang Rao stammered and spoke slowly, with a faint blush on her face. She covered her eyes, "When I saw Lord Liao just now, I remembered what happened back then, and I felt a little embarrassed. Besides... since he is your aide, I should take care of his relationship with his future wife, so I want to know who his future wife is."
