Chapter 345: The Lady of the Marquisate vs. the Younger Prince 88
Ah Qing came in from outside. He was also wearing a green dress with wide sleeves fluttering. He held a folding fan in his hand and saluted towards Ji Yunhuan and said, "My humble servant is here to greet you. Thank you Miss Ji for saving my life."
The voice was gentle and affectionate, with delicate tones, but it was obviously a man's voice.
Ji Yunhuan widened his eyes in surprise, "How did you become a man?"
On the day of the birthday banquet, Ah Qing tricked Zhao Baozhen away and drugged her. Ji Yunhuan rescued Zhao Baozhen, and Ah Qing was taken away by Jing Yu's men.
Ah Qing also took the Heart-Eating Pill, so Ji Yunhuan suggested that Ah Qing try the medicine. Ah Qing was lucky, as the development of the antidote had made some progress, so Ah Qing survived.
Ah Qing lifted his robe and sat down next to Wan Niang, smiling without saying a word.
Wan Niang poured a cup of tea for Ah Qing. Seeing Ji Yunhuan's loss of composure, Wan Niang couldn't help laughing, "It's not that she has become a man, Ah Qing is a man."
Ah Qing did not have any eyebrows or eye makeup, and his facial features were strong and masculine, but his movements when drinking tea were very elegant, not like a man's behavior, but more like a well-bred lady.
Wan Niang explained: "When Ah Qing was a child, she had red lips and white teeth, and it was difficult to tell whether she was a man or a woman. She was thrown into a yard where women were trained. The nobles had different tastes. Some liked women, some liked men, and some liked men dressed as women."
"Ah Qing learned to behave like a girl since she was little. As she grew older, her voice and appearance revealed a masculine appearance. She was only of average appearance and not as likable as she was when she was little. She was not considered a top-notch prostitute, so she was not sent to marry a noble lady."
"In the eyes of the Second Prince, useless pawns have only one way to go: death. The day Ah Qing was sent away, I thought he was dead for sure, but I didn't expect he was still alive."
Speaking of the past, Ah Qing was very calm. "The Second Prince said that since I couldn't be a man anyway, I might as well be castrated and enter the palace. I thought it was better than dying, so I entered the palace and became a eunuch."
"If Concubine Liang wants to do something bad, let me disguise myself as a palace maid. Even if the crime is exposed, it will be difficult to trace it back to me if it is a palace maid. In fact, I don't know the reasons for many things, but I can only do what Concubine Liang and the Second Prince say."
Ah Qing turned to look at Wan Niang, her eyes full of smiles, "Your Highness is merciful and spared my life. Wan Niang is not disgusted and is willing to follow me. I have learned to sing opera since I was a child, and I have established a small opera troupe. We are all poor people, and we are all here to make a living."
"From now on, wherever Wanniang wants to go, we will go there. The world is so big, there will always be a place for us to stay."
Ah Qing plucked up his courage and cautiously reached out a hand, feeling quite nervous.
He knew that Wan Niang respected Miss Ji in her heart. If Wan Niang agreed today, they would worship heaven and earth and become husband and wife. From then on, they would be each other's only relatives.
Wan Niang's hand covered Ah Qing's hand, and the two cold hands were tightly clasped together, "Silly boy, I have already agreed to go with you, what are you afraid of?"
Ah Qing's eyes were red, and he couldn't help but burst into tears. He was a little incoherent and stammered, "But...but I am a rootless man. If you...if you like another man in the future, you must not hide it from me. I won't restrict you...as long as you have me in your heart..."
"If you have a child, I will treat your child well and I will be the child's godfather..."
Wan Niang laughed, and then she started crying. "What a fool! I don't want to give birth to a child for a stinky man! There are so many miserable children in the world. The opera troupe has adopted a few of them. We can just raise them together."
Ah Qing uttered a heavy "hmm" and hugged Wan Niang tightly.
Others may think that Ah Qing is too feminine and lacks the masculinity of a man, but Wan Niang likes Ah Qing like this.
Wan Niang learned to please men since she was a child, and had seen many ugly and dirty men. No matter whether it was the Second Prince who forced himself on her, or Liang Wanzhou who bought her later, she hated them from the bottom of her heart!
She hates men! When Ah Qing dressed up as a woman and performed on stage, she thought Ah Qing was pretty good.
Every day from now on is earned by her. It is a pleasure to have such a caring person by my side.
Shiqin found a piece of red silk, quickly wrapped it into a red flower, and handed it to Wanniang.
"Don't accuse me of being stingy. You are too impatient and don't have time to prepare anything. I will give you this golden hairpin as a gift."
Shiqin took off the golden hairpin on her head and put it on Wanniang's head. There was a ruby on the hairpin. It was not a precious gem, but it was precious because it brought joy.
Wan Niang accepted it without hesitation, "After being scolded by you so much, this gift is your apology to me. Don't worry, I won't ask for your gift in vain. When you get married, no matter where I am, I will definitely send you a gift."
Shiqin spat and cursed, "Shameless! Am I wrong to scold you? Who wants to get married? I don't want to get married. I want to stay with my young lady for the rest of my life."
Shiqi found two sets of red ready-made clothes and asked the two of them to change into them, and also gave them a pair of gold bracelets.
It’s not that Shiqi can’t find jewelry with better meaning, but when going out, gold is easier to exchange for money and is more practical than other jewelry.
Wan Niang and A Qing were in a private room on the second floor, kneeling on cushions and bowing to heaven and earth outside the window.
Since they had no parents or relatives, they worshipped Ji Yunhuan.
Ji Yunhuan accepted it with peace of mind, then took out a stack of silver bills, put them in a red envelope, and handed it to Wan Niang.
"Since you have worshipped me, I am your sister. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come back to the capital to find me. Linglong Pavilion will also be opened all over Jingguo in the future. When you arrive at a place, remember to send a letter back, so that I can feel more at ease."
Wan Niang was in tears and choked with sobs, unable to speak.
Ah Qing's face flushed red, and she refused repeatedly, "No, no! How can you ask Miss for money? Miss saved us, and we are already very grateful."
Ji Yunhuan helped Wan Niang up, wiped her tears, and said with a smile: "Today is a happy day, don't cry, this is my dowry for you!"
"How can a girl live without a dowry? If Ah Qing treats you badly, you can kick him away and live alone. You can still live happily."
Ah Qing had been a eunuch in the palace for several years and was a favorite of Concubine Liang. He had quite a bit of private savings, otherwise he would not have been able to start a troupe.
He immediately pointed to the sky and swore, "I will definitely treat Wan Niang well. From now on, all the accounts of the opera troupe will be managed by Wan Niang. Since it is the dowry given to you by the eldest lady, you should accept it."
"Husband and wife bow to each other!" Shiqin shouted loudly.
Wanniang and Aqing bowed down.
They are already single, and as long as they are willing, a very simple wedding will be the best commitment to each other.
Jasmine ran up excitedly with Dujuan and also gave her a gift.
Many people in Linglong Pavilion were familiar with Wan Niang, and they came up to congratulate her and had already started preparing to set up two tables for the celebration.
Ji Yunhuan did not stay. With her here, these young girls and boys felt uncomfortable.
Ji Yunhuan got on the carriage and ordered, "Go to Penglai Restaurant."
She just didn't believe it. If she came to him in person, how could Jing Yu still avoid her?
