What Yang Yanzong said was absolutely right. Kun really had no intention of caring about him and Ji Yuanhao right now. There was another person who attracted the attention of Empress Dowager Kun and Uncle Kun, and that was Prince Qian.
To be precise, it was King Qian and the little emperor.
Although the little emperor was not raised by his father since childhood, the relationship between this pair of father and son who look similar is very good. Although the palace is rich in fine clothes and delicious food, to be honest, it is not a very good place. After the birth of Prince Zhao, the little emperor was in a very embarrassing situation for many years.
Although Empress Dowager Kun treated him very well and tried her best to be gentle, she was not his biological parent and had a strong personality, so she was caring but not close enough. Therefore, his parents coming to the palace to visit him every month became the thing the little boy looked forward to most, especially his father.
King Qian truly loved his children. His remarriage with Xiao Kun was an imperial decree and not his own wish, so he had no choice. The subsequent situation had turned out to be like this, and it was no longer something he could change alone. The only thing he could do was to take his eldest son Duoduo to visit his youngest son, to give the child warmth, care, and fatherly love, and to tell him that he was not alone.
The relationship between father and son is very good.
"Mother, mother, can I speak to father today?"
This is what Queen Mother Kun has heard most often in the past few months. For the young emperor, the best thing after ascending the throne was that he could meet with his father frequently. King Qian also missed him and went to the palace to meet with his son almost every day.
Queen Mother Kun smiled and said, "Of course, Your Majesty, please go."
The little emperor broke free from Empress Dowager Kun's hand and, rarely without imitating the behavior of a little adult, skipped and ran back to Shangyang Palace excitedly.
The Shangyang Palace has been newly renovated without any trace of its previous owner. Although the little emperor does not live there often, the warm room in the Shangyang Palace is his favorite place. It is not only where he does his homework, but also where he and his father often meet.
"Father! Let me tell you, today I have finished writing thirty pieces of big characters. Yesterday, I caught a bug in the Imperial Garden. Xiao Mingzi said it was a watermelon bug. What does a watermelon bug do?..."
Queen Mother Kun did not leave, she stood there, through the beads of the curtain, she could see the little emperor nestling in Prince Qian's arms, his hands around his neck, while Prince Qian squatted down, holding the little emperor on his knees, smiling at his son and chattering: "Wen'er is so amazing!"
"Watermelon worm?..."
The father and son embraced each other warmly, and the atmosphere was so harmonious that it seemed as if no one could get in.
Mrs. Kun looked at him expressionlessly for a long while before leaving silently.
Prince Qian and the little emperor have such a good relationship! The young emperor trusted and relied on Prince Qian extremely, but Empress Dowager Kun was not so happy about this.
The little emperor is too important to her and to Kun!
What Empress Dowager Kun hoped most was that the young emperor would only be close to and trust her, but obviously, the reality was not as she wished.
And with the little emperor's behavior and what he sees in daily life, this silent grudge is actually deepening.
All that's missing is a tipping point.
…
Su Ci didn’t know what was going on in the palace as she was busy at the moment.
After playing in Changyi Hot Spring Villa for several days, the couple returned home and Yang Yanzong handed over all his private accounts to her.
He had wanted to give it to her before, but Su Ci refused and kept dragging her feet for half a year, so in the end the job fell on her.
There were many private accounts one by one, with figures so large that even Su Ci was shocked. Where did he get so much money? ! But after reading through the old accounts, she found a clue. Yang Yanzong would have a fixed number of large sums of money deposited into his account every once in a while, and some of them were small amounts. When she asked him, Yang Yanzong said casually, "I have several caravans under my command."
Some travel domestically, but more travel to countries such as Beirong, Annan and the Western Regions. In cross-border trade, scarcity makes goods valuable, which goes without saying.
But even with such a large business account, it is still not enough compared to the huge expenditure. It is worth mentioning that there is another part of the account that is recorded in very neat numbers every time, with a huge amount, the largest amount is as high as one million. Su Ci was frightened and whispered: "Are you digging for silver?"
Yang Yanzong couldn't help laughing, he laughed loudly, kissed her lips hard, and told her straightforwardly: "Yes! Do you still remember brother Liu Ying?"
Su Ci blinked, and Yang Yanzong whispered in her ear: "Brother Liu Ying has a pair of illegitimate children."
The Liu Ying brothers were doing a business that could get them killed, so they had some reservations. This pair of children was their last resort in case something went wrong and their family line became extinct.
It took seven or eight days from the time Liu Ying brothers fell into his hands to the time they were transferred back to Suiping. For Yang Yanzong, this was enough time.
The Liu Ying brothers are indeed capable people. They have discovered more than one mining site. In addition to the large silver mine in Shang County, they have also found traces of mineral deposits in two other places in the southwest. However, silver mining is not an easy task. One large mine in Shang County is enough to keep them busy, so the other two mines were not touched.
Su Ci's eyes widened. Her heart trembled when she heard it. She didn't dare to speak for a long time, "...You are so brave!"
How many things happened and how many people died just for a big silver mine in Shang County? Especially the Liu Ying brothers who were at the center of the storm, who were finally sentenced to death by slicing. What if...
Yang Yanzong glanced at her sideways, and finally said calmly: "If you do nothing, you may not end up well."
He has long passed the passionate years of youth.
No matter what you do, you need money. Without capital, sooner or later you will end up being at the mercy of others.
Now that you have the money, it depends on whether you dare to spend it.
Yang Yanzong took action.
He comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, it's not a big mine. It's almost mined out and will be closed next year."
He touched her face and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect you." He would never let this girl get stabbed with him.
What else could Su Ci do? She had to carefully help him sort out the accounts.
She looked through the account books and saw that in the past few years, large expenditures had flowed to the southwest and northwest. She didn't ask, as it was enough for him to know the number.
What she needs to do now is to calculate the pension and allocate the money.
Sometimes it is no wonder that Yang Yanzong was so bold. At his level, the expenses were really too much. Just to take the forced abdication as an example, the pensions and long-term living subsidies for the deaths and injuries of his subordinates and those in the future all belonged to him. Compared with these added figures, the rewards of gold, silver and treasures given by Empress Dowager Kun and Uncle Kun, most of which could not be converted into cash, were really not enough.
There is also another booklet, which is the registration booklet that Akang's family had been in. All the names on the booklet are either elderly and lonely, or widows and orphans. Some even have children who have been forced to live with their relatives and be abused. We need to do our best to arrange for all of them, help them to make a living, and get by.
No wonder Yang Yanzong's personal soldiers were so loyal to him, there was a reason for it.
Let's not talk about all that and get back to the work at Su Ci's hands, especially the last two items. If she made a mistake in calculating one or was not thoughtful in the arrangement, it would have a huge impact on the people below, so she was extremely careful and considered every line, making sure there were no mistakes or omissions.
She worked late into the night, and Yang Yanzong was not happy about it. He came home late enough, but she was even busier than him?
On the third day, when he pushed the door open and entered the room, she didn't react, but just buried her head in concentration. He went straight over to take the account book, and picked up Su Ci, who looked up at him blankly without reacting for a moment, and said angrily: "I didn't give you this to let you work hard!"
He turned around and told Ah Zheng, and stipulated, "She is only allowed to work during the day, and for three or four hours a day, no more! You keep an eye on her."
"But the compensation is still waiting?"
He was annoyed: "What do the people below do for food? They will take care of it. It doesn't matter if we spend a few days doing it!"
Yang Yanzong glared at her, and Su Ci had no choice but to raise her hands in surrender, "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say."
Yang Yanzong was satisfied. The two hugged each other and rolled into the bed. After playing and kissing for a while, Su Ci put her arms around his neck and said, "Have you eaten?"
"Yes, I ate it in the camp."
Ever since what happened a few days ago, Yang Yanzong has formed the habit of reporting to the authorities on his own accord, for fear that Su Ci would misunderstand him.
He kissed her hard and asked, "What about you? Do you like me a little more today?"
He took off his hair crown, letting his long hair down, and played in the bed with his black hair a little messy. His sharp eyes with thick eyeliner looked dark and bright. He kissed her chest and looked up and asked.
Su Ci: “…”
Yang Yanzong was very concerned about this issue and asked about the progress almost every two days.
I didn't know and thought he was doing engineering.
It's really stressful.
She could only nod randomly and fool around, then quickly put her arms around his neck and kissed him back, blocking his mouth.
Yang Yanzong's attention was successfully diverted. He panted and was reluctant to let go as if he was holding honey. He tilted his head back and entangled his lips and tongue with her for a while, then he couldn't wait to push back!
Soon, rapid breathing and panting sounds were heard in the tent.
…
Just when Su Ci was busy with the account books, the conflict between King Qian and Kun quietly reached its peak.
The cause of the incident was the selection of a tutor for the young emperor.
The little emperor is only nine years old this year, and his age is in lunar years. The importance of his education is self-evident. So after the old emperor was buried, the task of selecting an imperial teacher was put on the agenda.
Finally, Empress Dowager Kun and Uncle Kun selected cabinet minister Chen Wenru, Wenyuan Pavilion Grand Secretary Lu Shiping, Wenhua Pavilion Grand Secretary Zhang Guangying, Zhongji Grand Secretaries Feng Sixin and Jia Wendong, as well as the cabinet's second assistant Uncle Kun himself, and a group of Shujishi and Bachelors who served as lecturers and readers for the old emperor.
The lineup is luxurious and the knowledge is profound, but unfortunately these people have one characteristic, that is, they are generally old, have moderate stances, and most of them come from humble backgrounds without any aristocratic family background.
The little emperor wants to study. Is his focus on studying?
Of course not. The books and principles he reads today are all preparations for his future rule, for ruling the world, and for governing the country.
His focus is not on reading, but on learning the art of being an emperor through reading.
Obviously, this group of mediocre and poor people are not capable of doing this. Firstly, they would not dare to face the Kun family's covetous eyes and teach the little emperor the ability to sit in the court independently. In addition, whether they can do this is also a problem.
Secondly, it was obvious that the young emperor could not get any help from the Taifu Group.
That’s right, Empress Dowager Kun and Uncle Kun didn’t really want to return the throne to the little emperor! I don't want to make the little emperor's wings too strong, for fear that he might backfire in the future.
As soon as King Qian saw the lineup of the tutors, he refused to do it! On that day, a fierce dispute broke out between Prince Qian and Queen Mother Kun. Other princes would give in, but this one wouldn’t. Even if you give him a medium lineup, this wouldn’t work. How could this be possible? !
He threw the list of tutors directly. This usually gentle and elegant man slammed the table in anger for the first time and firmly expressed his disagreement. He said that the imperial tutor must choose at least one person from each of the six ministers and vice ministers, who would take turns to explain the tricks of each ministry to the little emperor. In addition, the chief tutor of the cabinet, the left prime minister, Feng Taishi, must also be included!
Although Grand Tutor Feng usually looks like an old grey-haired tumbler and doesn't care about anything, he knows everything in his heart and is experienced. If you can convince him to teach the little emperor sincerely, he alone can be worth an entire group of luxurious tutors.
Naturally, Empress Dowager Kun was unwilling to do so. The brother and sister had argued with Prince Qian many times and had even given in somewhat. But this time, as it concerned the future of the young emperor, Prince Qian refused to give in, which made the two of them very angry.
Queen Mother Kun: "Brother, we can't go on like this."
She said coldly.
Originally, their quarrel was carried out behind the little emperor's back, and neither side showed any discord in front of him. However, as the tug-of-war became more and more prolonged, the little emperor waited for the tutor for a long time but still hadn't made a decision, so he became sensitive and realized something and began to ask questions.
"Prince Qian has too much influence on the emperor, which is not a good thing."
Empress Dowager Kun said calmly that she didn’t need it, and neither did Kun, for the little emperor to have another “imperial father”!
The little emperor is still young now, but he will grow up in the future.
Uncle Kun's eyes were filled with cruelty: "Since you don't want to drink my toast, then drink the penalty wine!"
The brother and sister looked at each other, murderous intent revealed! It's not that they are cruel, but that King Qian is really too ignorant. If they want to cut the weeds and eradicate them completely, it's better to do it as soon as possible!
In June, it rained continuously and the south bank of the river was threatening to flood. Prince Qian, together with the Minister of Works Liao Guitang and a group of officials from the Ministry of Works, inspected the dam and water conditions in Min, Ping and other counties in the north of Prince Qian's Yangdu, as well as in Quzhou and Liangzhou. During their visit, the old dam collapsed and Prince Qian, who happened to be standing on the base, fell into the river and disappeared.
When the news reached back to Yangdu, the little emperor was writing big characters. The child wrote stroke by stroke, and just when he reached the last page of the day, the sound of hurried footsteps rushed in with the rain!
"It's bad! Your Majesty, the riverbank in Ping County suddenly collapsed, and His Royal Highness Prince Qian fell into the water and is nowhere to be found!!"
The last stroke of a piece of official script written with full concentration suddenly stopped, "What did you say?!"
The little emperor stood up suddenly, his face pale!
…
The incident of Prince Qian falling into the water and disappearing was neither a small nor a big matter for the court. After all, although Prince Qian was the emperor's father, he had never held any important position in the court. He only had a job in the Ministry of Works, a lukewarm government office.
But Su Ci felt something was wrong when she heard it. She didn't care about feeling sorry for the poetic and beautiful man. The first thing she thought of was, damn, Empress Dowager Kun and Uncle Kun are so cruel!
So, now that they have dealt with King Qian, the next target won’t be Yang Yanzong and his men, right?
She guessed right!
Sure enough, when she entered the palace next time, she and Ren were very sensitive to this subtle change.
They entered the palace to attend a banquet hosted by Empress Dowager Kun.
Men have their own banquets, which are hosted by Uncle Kun. As for the female members of the family, most of them go to the palace. Although Empress Dowager Kun was the regent, she could not invite a large group of civil and military officials to the palace for banquets every few days, so the men were left to Uncle Kun. She mainly set up various small banquets in the inner palace and invited women from the royal family and the new and old powerful families to the palace for gatherings.
Ren and Su Ci have attended this kind of royal tea party many times in the past month. The Empress Dowager Kun has always been quite amiable, and the palace maids and eunuchs in Changqiu Palace are extremely warm and considerate. So although this tea party was a bit boring, it was not really sad.
But today, as soon as she entered Changqiu Palace, Su Ci immediately noticed the changes. The maid who led the way had become Bai Mei, a second-class palace maid beside Empress Dowager Kun, and her smile had become much more formal. After leading Su Ci and Ren to sit down, Bai Mei leaned forward slightly and took her leave.
Su Ci took the teacup offered by the little palace maid and scraped it twice, then looked at Ren. Both of them became extremely alert at the same time.
——Just a few days ago, Yang Yanzong and Ji Yuanhao had refused to leave the capital to become provincial governors.
The situation between the two of them and Kun suddenly became delicate.
Su Ci was very worried that she would become part of the signal to scare the enemy, but the Queen Mother summoned her, so she had to come.
However, no matter how careful and attentive the two of them were, there were some things they could not avoid just because they wanted to.
After the banquet, Queen Mother Kun took the crying little Kun into the inner hall to comfort her. The other women stood up and left. When the two wanted to get away quickly, the palace maid Bai Mei came out of the inner hall and bowed: "Madams, please stay. The Queen Mother has something to say to you."
Su Ci: “…”
There was nothing Su Ci could do but stand still.
The two stood there for about a quarter of an hour. Everyone else had left long ago, but the cups and tables in the hall were still there but empty. Bai Mei came back and saw them, "Eh? Madams, please sit down for a while. I'm afraid the Queen Mother will have some time to talk to the Princess."
She then signaled to the palace maid to serve tea to Su Ci and Ren again.
Su Ci had no choice but to sit back down with Ren.
Who knew that sitting like this would cause such a big trouble!
Su Ci and Ren's seats were next to each other. The palace was not big, and their seats were just near the door to the back hall. They carefully checked their feet and the stool, and when they were sure there was nothing wrong, they sat back with their heavy skirts lifted. But as soon as they moved, they suddenly felt something hit their backs!
With a "ping bang" sound!
There was the sudden sound of porcelain breaking into pieces.
Su Ci and Ren turned around quickly. When did these people behind them appear?
That's right, just when the two of them carefully lifted their skirts and sat down, the curtain in the back hall was lifted, and two young eunuchs came in carrying a long table. On the table, there was an exquisite blue and white beauty vase that was more than a foot high.
This blue and white beauty vase has a thin base and a slender and graceful neck. It broke into pieces with a clang when it was touched!
The ground was covered with broken porcelain, and everyone was instantly shocked. Bai Shuang, the first-class maid beside Queen Kun, was furious: "This was bestowed by the late emperor to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother gave it to our Queen Mother before her death!!"
A gift from the late emperor!
It was bestowed by the emperor on the former Empress Kun, and the Great Empress Kun bestowed it on the current Empress Dowager Kun!
Damn, this is a serious charge!
Su Ci's heart sank, and she had to grit her teeth, and she and Ren knelt on the ground with a "bang".
There was no carpet here, and the smooth water-polished gold tiles were cold and hard. After a while, my knees became numb and painful.
They knelt for half an hour but did not see Queen Mother Kun. It is said that Queen Mother Kun was furious. Finally, under the consolation of Aunt Liang, Aunt Liang came out and reprimanded the two of them before allowing them to leave.
Damn, it hurts so much!
Su Ci had never suffered such a loss in her life. She was so angry that her leg was sore and numb. When she lifted her leg, she saw a large bruise. It was a pity that Yang Yanzong was not at home. She was not the only one who was trying to scare Yang Yanzong these days. Uncle Kun began to slightly reduce the military power in the hands of Yang Yanzong and Ji Yuanhao. He stayed in the camp yesterday and today.
Ah Zheng and Mrs. Zhang talked about sending a letter to Yang Yanzong. Su Ci thought about it and shook his head: "No need for now." He was still busy. Besides, the vase was indeed broken. As a subject, he could only swallow this little loss.
She asked someone to bring hot and cold water, applied hot and cold compresses alternately, applied medicated wine to rub the bruises, and climbed into bed to sleep.
But what Su Ci didn't expect was that it came again within two days!
This time, it was a "slip of the tongue".
God knows! She and Ren basically didn't talk to each other, but when others started the conversation, Empress Dowager Kun asked for their opinions, and the two of them answered very cautiously. Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Kun suddenly turned hostile and punished them again.
However, the others were called in for admonition, and they were supposed to leave after the admonition, but she and Ren were the only ones kneeling there in misery.
Well, no matter what they say, they are just here to find trouble. If this one is gone, there will be the next one. After all, she is the mother of the country and the empress dowager!
After two times in a row, Su Ci was exhausted physically and mentally. When she was helped to climb into the car, she said to Ren: "I can't do it anymore. I won't come next time."
She was frequently summoned to the palace for banquets, and people thought it was some kind of favor. Yan was jealous a few times, so she deserved to be asked to come in and kneel down!
Damn it, Su Ci said she would never come again!
"Sister Ren, what about you?"
Ren rubbed her knees and smiled gently at Su Ci, but shook her head: “You can still say that the old injury recurred, what about me?”
Everyone knew that Su Ci was seriously injured last year, but she couldn't.
"Besides, it's already very difficult for my husband to deal with the Kun family now. I can't help him in any way. It's always better not to cause trouble."
The most Empress Dowager Kun could do was to ask them to kneel, nothing else was possible.
After returning home, Ren endured the pain and applied hot compress for a long time. Finally, she felt a little better. Ji Zimu was so distressed that he wanted to stay and complain to his father, but was finally driven away by her.
Ji Yuanhao was also very busy, extremely busy. His power was no less than Yang Yanzong's, but he became independent later than the other. He was so busy dealing with Kun's small moves and taking care of his own affairs that he did not return home until after three o'clock in the morning.
Ren left a light on for him. She prepared hot water in the kitchen and cooked a bowl of steaming thin silver noodles. After eating it, he felt comfortable all over.
Ji Yuanhao took Ren's hand and asked with concern: "What happened when you entered the palace today? Did the Queen Mother make things difficult for you?"
Ren smiled gently: "It's nothing serious, just a few scoldings, don't worry about it." She touched the bruises under his eyes with concern, "You'd better get some rest quickly, you have to get up early tomorrow."
Ji Yuanhao was indeed very tired, and he believed what Ren said, but he couldn't rest yet, as he still had some secret affairs to deal with, so he patted Ren's hand and said, "You go to sleep first, I'll go to the study in the front and rest there tonight, don't wait for me."
After saying this, he got up and left in a hurry.
Ren held the lamp and walked him all the way to the door of the room. Her watery eyes followed his back into the darkness. After a long time, she withdrew her gaze, carefully walked back to the bed, and slowly lay down with the help of the maid.
…
Ren chose to give silently and love her husband. She never held Ji Yuanhao back and would rather endure it silently.
Su Ci won't do that!
She won't keep it to herself. No matter whether she suffered a loss or made a contribution, she has to tell the person involved immediately, otherwise who will know? !
Not long after she returned home, Yang Yanzong came back. She immediately showed him her legs and said bitterly, "It hurts so much. I knelt for almost an hour. I won't go next time, even if you kill me!"
Yang Yanzong pulled up her legs, revealing two very obvious and huge bruises on her porcelain-white and delicate skin. The former had not faded completely, and the latter was new, blue and purple, and blue and bruised, covering her entire knees and even extending to the edges of her thighs and calves.
Yang Yanzong's face changed immediately, and he looked so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip out of it. He was furious: "What a Kun family member!!!"
He uttered these words through gritted teeth, and he almost wanted to kill someone.
Without Su Ci saying anything, he said coldly, "I won't go. You can claim to be sick later and say that your old illness has relapsed."
Yang Yanzong was filled with hatred and sneered.
He would never allow Su Ci to enter the palace again no matter what. As for the conflict between him and Kun, it would break out sooner or later, and it wouldn't make much difference if it was earlier or later.
He personally applied medicated oil to her and rubbed the bruises away. After coaxing her to sleep, he got out of bed and scolded A Zheng, Mrs. Zhang and the others.
Why didn't you tell him the first time!
What are you eating! Don’t you want to quit mixing with the gang? !
Ah Zheng grunted and said, "…Madam has forbidden it."
It was a good thing that Su Ci had strict discipline for the people around her. Yang Yanzong had no intention of offending her authority, and in the end, he was so angry that he only ordered A Zheng and other personal soldiers to go down and receive twenty lashes of the cane.
So, Su Ci started to claim to be sick and said she would not go to the palace no matter what. When the eunuchs came to summon people, she lay down and pretended to be sick. The eunuchs could not force her to go, and after a while, she finally passed away.
Came here a few times, but never again.
So, Su Ci became happy again. When her knees hurt, she didn't stand up, but sat down to do the accounts and study allicin.
Allicin is relatively easy to prepare and the raw materials are readily available, making it a rare sterilizing drug that is relatively suitable for promotion.
She was thinking about giving it a try, and has recently been working on standardizing the preparation steps and trying out a promotion plan.
She was not in a hurry at first, but after seeing the difficult livelihoods of so many soldiers and their families who became disabled or even died due to inadequate post-traumatic treatment on her private account, she couldn't help but become anxious.
During this period, Ren came to visit her at home.
Ren's knees were swollen and she needed help getting in and out of the car, but she begged Su Ci not to tell Ji Yuanhao.
Ren smiled bitterly: "What can we do if we tell him, Sister Aci? Our family is a royal family."
Su Ci couldn't help but be speechless.
It's very realistic. Su Ci is the wife of an external official, so there is a layer of distance between them. She claimed to be sick and refused to enter the palace, and Empress Dowager Kun could do nothing about it for a while.
But it was different for Ren. Don’t forget that Ji Yuanhao was a member of the royal family. As a woman of the royal family, Empress Dowager Kun could summon Ren into the palace at any time without any reason! She scolded Ren and punished her. Even if Ren refused to go, she would send a nanny to the house to scold her, and Ren would have no choice but to kneel down and listen to the scolding.
Ren's situation is actually more difficult than Su Ci's. When she said this, Ji Yuanhao could do nothing but feel angry.
Just like Yang Yanzong, he was so furious, but with the pressure of the relationship between the emperor and his subject on his head, he could only let Su Ci claim to be sick and stay away to avoid his attack.
Ji Yuanhao was already busy and tired enough, and most importantly, she understood from his words that he had no plans to turn against Kun for the time being. Ren was unwilling to add psychological pressure to him, and even more unwilling to hold him back in his plan.
Ren begged Su Ci: "Don't tell him, okay? Sister A Ci, I beg you."
There was nothing Su Ci could do but nodded and agreed.
She gave Ren several bottles of medicine, all of which were carefully found for her by Yang Yanzong. Ren was not ostentatious, so she probably didn't have any good medicine, right?
Su Ci was a little unhappy, and came back to ask Yang Yanzong: "Sister Ren asked me not to tell Ji Yuanhao, do you agree?"
Yang Yanzong disagreed: "Why do you care so much about their affairs?"
He rolled up Su Ci's trouser legs skillfully, and saw that the bruises had faded and her knees were white again. He was very satisfied, bent down and kissed her, and said with a smile: "You should pay more attention to your man!"
He was thinking about her and took time out of his busy schedule to go home to see her, not to listen to the gossip between Ren and Ji Yuanhao. Yang Yanzong held her in his arms, leaned close to kiss her, and sucked her lips for a while.
"Wait until tomorrow, then go to Changyi and stay at the hot spring resort for a while."
The two of them were intimate for a while, and Yang Yanzong narrowed his eyes. The conflict between him and Queen Kun was about to escalate. Before that, he had to send his wife away first, to prevent Queen Kun from causing trouble for her again.
Thinking of this, his brows turned cold.
"oh."
Su Ci agreed, but was a little worried: "Are you afraid?" She was talking about Kun.
Yang Yanzong patted her back soothingly, "Don't worry about it. The important thing is to take good care of your body."
After finishing the business, he came over to kiss her again. Su Ci quickly pushed his face away and said, "Go, wash up!" He smelled of sweat and she found it smelly.
Su Ci fanned herself and wrinkled her nose cutely. Yang Yanzong pretended to be furious and said, "Okay, you little girl dare to despise him!" He rushed over and hugged her tightly, rubbing his head in her arms, "Let's take a shower together!"
"No! You wish."
Su Ci hugged the bedpost tightly. She had just taken a full shower in the afternoon and was not going to do it anymore. Yang Yanzong pulled twice but couldn't move it. She laughed and kicked him a few times. He grabbed her feet and bounced them a few times. Su Ci almost laughed to death.
The two of them laughed and played for a while. Yang Yanzong saw that she was really unhappy, so he pinched the tip of her nose, and then he went to wash it himself.
…
Su Ci lay on the bed with her feet up, listening to the sound of water in the bathroom and laughing for a while.
The room was quiet. In the distance, maids, servants, and bodyguards were walking around quietly and talking in low voices. She stayed alone for a while and couldn't help thinking of Ren again.
Thinking of Ren, I thought of myself.
Isn’t Ren the typical good wife and virtuous mother today?
She roughly understood Ren's thoughts and difficulties. Since there was no other way, why should she let her husband know and make him worried? He's already busy and hard enough.
It is said that Ren was the daughter of Ji Yuanhao's retainer.
Devoted love, wholehearted commitment.
Su Ci couldn't help but shook her head. She couldn't understand this kind of mentality. She was afraid that she would never be able to do the latter in her lifetime!
Impossible.
She is not that kind of person.
In fact, using Ren as a mirror, Su Ci has already sorted out her thoughts and she has thought it through!
Yang Yanzong is really good to her now, so she also treats him wholeheartedly and tries to be a good wife, give back to him, live up to his love, and have a clear conscience.
As for the rest, don't force it and don't make it difficult for yourself. Men in ancient times had too many conveniences, so let them suffer a little!
Just treat it as a test.
If he really loves her enough, I think he won't be able to break up with her.
If not, forget it!
If he never changed, then... maybe she would really fall in love with him in the future.
Anyway, don’t push yourself, be nicer to yourself! The living environment of women in ancient times was already very bad.
In the end, Su Ci decided to follow her heart, be nicer to him and to herself.
Once I figured it out, I felt at ease, no longer felt guilty, and felt relieved.
She laughed happily.
