Chapter 248 Leaving the Palace
The prince looked at the seemingly timid woman with scrutiny in his eyes and sneered in his heart.
"Get up, I didn't say anything harsh, why are you so nervous?"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
After carefully standing up, Guo Liangdi smiled ingratiatingly.
"I'm not afraid, I respect Your Highness. It's just that I was born timid and can't express myself clearly."
"It's good to be timid. Only by being cautious can you protect yourself. There is no shortage of smart people in this world, but there is a shortage of smart people who are timid. Those who are bold and reckless will never have a good ending. What do you think?"
The hint of a smile on the prince's lips made Guo Liangdi's heart jump suddenly, but she quickly calmed herself down.
"Your Highness taught me this, and I will never forget it. In the future, I will work together with Sister Zhou to manage the affairs of the Eastern Palace and take good care of the emperor's grandchildren."
When the other party mentioned the child, the coldness between the prince's brows eased a little.
"Has the second child been crying a lot lately?"
Guo Liangdi's eyes lit up and she looked happy.
"He's already healed. The imperial physician prescribed a prescription. Xuan'er is now able to turn over! Do you want to go over and take a look?"
Their expressions and tones were extremely respectful, with the humility that a concubine should have towards her husband. The prince's eyelids moved slightly, and he felt that the women in front of him, who seemed to be extremely submissive to him, really looked a lot like the concubines in his father's palace.
Crawling humbly before the husband and asking for whatever he wants, this is the most correct attitude for a woman in the harem, right?
"Come on, I'll go sit with you."
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness!"
Guo Liangdi bowed with great joy and thanked him. The prince turned and walked away. The sunlight cast a small shadow under his eyelids, which was filled with cold sarcasm.
Look, I, Li Yanxiu, have finally become the person I hated the most when I was a child.
Inside the palace walls, a man and a woman stand in front and behind, strictly observing the hierarchy; outside the palace walls, a man and a woman stand on the left and right, supporting each other.
"Oh, my wife, please be gentle, it hurts!"
After being carried onto the carriage by his strong wife, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, who had been so brave in the palace just now, now cried and leaned his big head on her shoulder.
"The old man was too cruel. My whole back hurts so much that it feels like the skin is going to fall off!
My brother is not a good person at all. I traveled thousands of miles to bring him so many gifts. He has no regard for brotherhood at all and has no conscience!
My mother is also a cruel person. How could she just watch me get beaten? Am I still her biological son who she carried for ten months and raised with so much painstaking effort?
After chirping about crickets one and another, this guy was calling out his troops and making innuendos in his words, which made his wife smile.
"Don't make indirect accusations here. I've already carefully analyzed everything with you on the way, and this is the current situation.
If we don't want to pack up all the things we have worked so hard to get and give them to the court, then we will definitely be beaten!"
Jiang Wan touched her husband's head with her backhand, her face flushed and her voice smiling.
"We are the only two masters of the Qi Palace, and we were the ones who started this. Either I beat you, His Highness the Prince of Qi, or I, the Princess of Qi.
If you can't come out to support the situation, then I have to take over, right? You are such a great man and hero, how can you let a pregnant woman like me take the beating?"
"No, that's not what I meant!"
Li Chengxiu sat up straight suddenly, and then accidentally pulled the wound on his back, and he grimaced in pain.
"Don't even mention you're pregnant now. Even if you weren't, I wouldn't want you to get beaten! From childhood to adulthood, as long as I've been around, when have I ever been willing to let you suffer any injustice or hardship? Wife, we must speak with conscience!"
"I know, I know. I was just giving you an example. Even though we lost face after getting beaten up, at least we saved our dignity. Doesn't that make you feel better?"
Jiang Wan quickly and knowingly said a few words to comfort him, and the other party snorted with a hint of grievance.
"I'm not upset because I've lost face. I'm not someone who cares much about reputation."
This was really a polite thing to say. Frankly speaking, he didn't think he was shameless. In fact, he could barely be praised for being flexible.
"What's so painful now is that you, my wife, just watched me get beaten up!"
"Nonsense! Li Chengxiu, you've wronged me. I'm not that kind of person. How could I possibly watch you get beaten?"
Jiang Wan quickly tried to make amends for himself.
"I just turned my face away, I didn't see you getting beaten."
“………”
Li Chengxiu moved back twice dejectedly, with a hint of despair in his tone.
"That's very well said. Don't say that again."
His wife moved closer, held her face with her hands and continued to tease him.
"Are you angry?"
"No!"
"Are you really angry?"
"Really not!"
"You're still being stubborn. You're obviously angry."
"snort!"
The two of them play with each other every day.
"My husband, Jiang Wan, is a man of integrity and righteousness, a man of high character and esteem, one of the few worthy men in the world! How could he argue with his own wife? Don't you agree?"
"Yes, that's right. But no matter how good a man your husband is, he's still a man, not an animal. How can he be beaten so harshly without anyone feeling sorry for him? Don't you agree?"
"Of course I am, I feel sorry for you!"
"real?"
"More real than pearls!"
"Hmph, that's more like it."
The Prince of Qi, who was as soft-hearted as tofu pudding, was content to be won over by the Princess of Qi with just a few words. He touched the cricket and moved closer to his wife, then continued to lean his head on her shoulder and began to complain.
"Wife, have you noticed that my family has changed a lot since we came back this time?"
The smile in Jiang Wan's eyes quickly froze, while Li Chengxiu continued to chatter with a distressed look on his face.
“I won’t talk about how sick my mother is, but you also heard what Uncle Yunyue said just now.
The root cause of this disease was that her life was too hard and stressful in the past.
After all, I guess I will have to take good care of it in the future.
But the old man didn't look very well, and it was obvious that he was overworked.
But he is still so stubborn. I told him to have more rest. Isn't that just filial piety?
Look at how his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes just now. How annoying!
Oh, and my brother..."
He sighed deeply and shifted his sitting position slightly to make his injured area more comfortable.
"I can tell that the Crown Princess's departure has dealt a huge blow to my brother! He used to be such a talkative and cheerful person, but today he looks as gloomy as Li Lao Er.
It's not that I'm disrespectful to the deceased, but I'm still teasing her behind her back. My wife, what do the eldest and third brothers like about Song Ziying?
I've nearly scratched my head bald, but I still can't figure it out."
