Chapter 105 I Will Teach My Wife
Chunzhi and everyone else in the hall turned around and saw Huo Zheng, who was as tall as a jade tree, coming against the light, passing through a group of eunuchs and palace servants, and walking straight to Chunzhi's side.
He stood beside Chunzhi, bowed to Queen Wang, Concubine De, and Concubine Li, then took Chunzhi's hand.
Chunzhi felt a little embarrassed to entwine her hands in public like this.
But more of it is peace of mind.
From the moment Huo Zheng appeared, the fear and uneasiness in her heart disappeared.
It seemed as if as long as he was around, I had nothing to worry about.
"Qilang is here." Lady Li was a little scared when she saw Huo Zheng.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Chang'an usually abides by the rules and is very polite to his concubines. However, such a man personally killed the Prince of Ning and his son in Nanzhou. It can be seen that in his eyes, royal relatives and nobles are no different from ordinary people. As long as they break the law, they can be killed.
Seeing this, Concubine De also wanted to leave first.
But Queen Wang didn't say anything, so Concubine Li and Concubine De didn't dare to run away.
Huo Zheng held Chunzhi's hand, looked at the mess on the ground, and asked in a deep voice, "Excuse me, mother, what are you doing?"
"When the Queen Mother learned that your father had arranged a marriage for you, she was delighted and anxious to meet her future daughter-in-law, so she summoned her. She had wanted to have a cup of tea with her daughter-in-law beforehand, but she was reluctant and even threw the cup."
Queen Wang sighed as she spoke.
Without waiting for Chunzhi to speak, Huo Zheng said, "Chunzhi has always been thrifty with money. She wouldn't want to throw away such a fine teacup."
He said, "There must be a reason. Do you want to tell me, or do you want me to examine them one by one?"
"Your Highness, please forgive me!"
Upon hearing this, the eunuchs and palace servants present all knelt down, especially the one who had just pulled the tray and refused to give it to Chunzhi, who was now shaking with fear.
"What are you kneeling for? Stand up!" Queen Wang felt displeased at being humiliated by her adopted son. "Your Highness Prince Chang'an is used to being so arrogant outside, and now he's acting so arrogant in front of me too."
Huo Zheng said, "I dare not."
Queen Wang said, "You say you don't dare, but your face shows no fear at all. Qilang, Qilang, you married a merchant's daughter who doesn't know the rules. Your mother will help you teach her, and it's for your own good..."
Huo Zheng said, "I will take care of my wife myself, so there's no need for my mother to worry."
"You..." Queen Wang was so angry that she couldn't speak for a moment.
Neither Concubine Li nor Concubine De dared to interrupt for a moment.
Wang Yiyue called out "cousin" tenderly, "Auntie is devoted to you, how can you speak to me like this?"
"I know exactly why your mother summoned Chunzhi. There's no need to elaborate on the rest." Huo Zheng said, "I will never marry anyone other than Chunzhi. Forget about a concubine, even a concubine. Never mind the thought of entering my Chang'an Palace."
"Shichiro!"
Queen Wang didn't know who Huo Zheng inherited his personality from. It wasn't like her, nor like the emperor, but like...
"Don't think I will agree just because you force Chunzhi to agree. Even if she agrees under duress, I won't acknowledge it."
Huo Zheng knew exactly what Queen Wang was thinking and what these people wanted to do.
He was originally discussing matters in the Imperial Study today and took a short break. When he heard that the Queen had summoned Chunzhi to the palace, he immediately came to Qiwu Palace.
As soon as I arrived outside the hall, I heard the sound of porcelain breaking.
Huo Zheng didn't even wait for the palace servants to inform him and rushed in directly.
Fortunately, he arrived in time.
"Qilang..." Queen Wang wanted to say something else.
Huo Zheng said, "I have something important to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."
After he said that, he took Chunzhi and left.
Before leaving, Chunzhi did not forget the etiquette she had learned before. She bowed to Queen Wang before turning around and leaving.
Huo Zheng walked very fast. He held Chunzhi's hand so tightly that Chunzhi felt a little pain.
Chunzhi could still hold on in front of Queen Wang and the others, but after leaving Qiwu Palace, she relaxed and felt a little weak in the legs.
"What's wrong?"
Huo Zheng noticed that Chunzhi could not keep up with him, so he stopped and turned to look at him.
Chunzhi said a little embarrassedly: "I feel a little weak in the knees."
She had never seen the ladies in the palace before. When she watched a play, she thought the actors looked so majestic in their phoenix coronet and bridal gown.
Huo Zheng couldn't help but feel sorry for Chunzhi, so he picked her up and carried her sideways.
Chunzhi was startled. "What are you doing? This is not proper. Be careful if someone sees us. Put me down now."
Huo Zheng said, "Aren't you weak in the knees? I'll carry you."
Chunzhi wanted to say something else.
Huo Zheng said, "You and I are a couple made a reality by the Emperor's decree. Who dares to say that you and I are not decent?"
Seeing that he refused to let her go, Chunzhi could only put her arms around Huo Zheng's neck and bury her face in his arms.
Huo Zheng took Chunzhi out of the palace and sent her back to the Song residence.
The carriage of the Chang'an Palace stopped in front of the palace gate. Huo Zheng carried Chunzhi into the carriage and poured her a cup of tea. "Have a sip of tea to calm your nerves."
Chunzhi took a big sip, calmed herself down, and then said to Huo Zheng, "That was a close call. I almost drank your cousin's concubine's tea."
The carriage was driving on the street, and the sound of horse hooves could be heard.
Huo Zheng frowned slightly and asked, "What concubine tea?"
Chunzhi said, "The Empress said that you and Miss Wang were already engaged. It was because of my life-saving grace that the Emperor granted the marriage and allowed Miss Wang to step down and become a concubine. She came up to me and served me tea, calling me sister. If this isn't concubine tea, what is it?"
Huo Zheng said seriously, "Wang Yiyue and I are not engaged, let alone have any romantic feelings for each other."
"I know." Chunzhi said, "That's why I told Miss Wang that you shouldn't call me sister, you should call me cousin."
Huo Zheng raised his thin lips slightly when he heard this, "She should call you cousin-in-law."
Chunzhi said, "I already have sisters Yuzhu and Wan'er. I don't need any sisters. Why would I want to take on a sister for no reason? And if she wants to steal my husband, that's even worse."
Chunzhi has always been of the opinion that if she wants something, she either doesn’t want it or not. But once she wants something, it all belongs to her.
Previously, because of her low status, she was unwilling to get entangled with Huo Zheng and even left her hometown.
Now that she has come to the capital and agreed to continue with Huo Zheng, there is absolutely no reason for her to retreat halfway.
Huo Zheng asked her, "What's with those broken porcelain pieces on the ground?"
Chunzhi said, "The Empress asked me to serve her tea. The maid brought a cup of boiling hot tea. The steam was so hot that it burned my hands. I definitely couldn't just hold the teacup with my hands, so I thought about taking the tray with me. But the maid refused to let go. I pulled and then let go..."
Who knew that the palace maid would use so much force that both she and the teacup fell to the ground.
Chunzhi said it very casually, with an expression that said, "I haven't suffered any loss, don't worry."
Huo Zheng held her hand and whispered, "I'm sorry for putting you through this."
"I'm not wronged." Chunzhi said, "There are many ordinary mothers-in-law who treat their daughters-in-law harshly, let alone the Queen. She hoped that you would marry a noble lady, but you married a country girl like me..."
Before she could finish her words, Chunzhi's lips were kissed by Huo Zheng.
