Hualiuzang disease
Seeing that she was reluctant to give in and Qi Heng only had eyes for her, Zhao Qingrui quickly added, "No, no, no, cousin, can I be your co-wife?" Zhao Qingrui's tone was almost pleading.
"Ah Li is kind and would not dare to disobey her elders. Zhao Qingrui's every word puts her in an unjust position. Talking about her being a concubine is so hypocritical. Even if I had never met Chi Li in this life, I would not like the pampered canary."
Facing Qi Heng's look of disgust and contempt, Zhao Qingrui could no longer hold back the tears she had been trying to hold back. She turned away and wiped her tears with her embroidered handkerchief.
"Mother, you forgot that the emperor has already written the imperial decree granting the marriage. All he needs to do is to fill in the name of my first wife, and then the imperial decree will be announced to the world. My marriage is no longer just a matter decided by the Qi family alone."
After these words were spoken, the old lady had no more words to say. She gave up and stood up, saying sadly, "Heng'er has grown up and learned to use the emperor to interrupt your parents. Do whatever you want. I can't control you anymore."
After saying that, the old lady stood up and left the Qi Mansion with the crying Zhao Qingrui.
After taking care of the matter, the two were about to leave when they realized that Xiang Yao had been waiting outside for a long time.
When Xiang Yao arrived, he happened to arrive at the same time as the old lady. Seeing that she was furious and unhappy, he was afraid that innocent people would be affected by the disaster, so he had to call a maid to pass on the message. However, the maid couldn't even touch the door of the main hall.
Qi Heng knew his mother's temper best. When she got angry, she would scold anyone she met and never blamed Xiang Yao at all.
"There's an incense burner on the table in my study. Cover it up a bit so it's out of sight. Give it to Chu Xiao for inspection. Once he's done, have him come to my study immediately."
After Xiang Yao received the order and left, Qi Heng suddenly changed his mind and stayed in the mansion. Although they had finally gotten to spend time together closely, Yuanli always felt uncomfortable.
While having dinner at night, there was a sudden noise from the beam. She turned her head to look and saw two bamboo chopsticks flying quickly towards the beam.
Qi Heng reacted calmly. Chu Xiao suddenly appeared on the beam, holding a chicken and a duck tied with a big red flower in each hand, and smiling in an extremely obscene manner.
"With a beautiful woman by your side and a happy event just around the corner, why are you so angry? You almost killed the chicken and duck I brought you with your chopsticks."
"Have you thoroughly investigated what I told you?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiao jumped down from the beam and landed steadily. The chickens and ducks were suddenly frightened and kept struggling, but fortunately their mouths were wrapped with red paper so they didn't make too much noise.
"The ingredients in the incense burner are truly extraordinary. Not only does it contain spring... but it also contains Datura pollen from the Kingdom of Gujia. The first ingredient is a low-level, common one, but the second, Datura pollen, has hallucinogenic and stimulating effects. Plus, it's truly..."
As he answered, his expression became more and more obscene. Qi Heng put his fist in front of his mouth and coughed lightly. Seeing this, Chu Xiao consciously restrained himself a little.
Chu Xiao put on a serious face and said, "Have you offended that powerful family again recently? It's a bit unethical to retaliate this time. The woman you threw out of the room last night got sycophantic."
"Flowers and willows..." Qi Heng repeated this sentence in his mouth, thinking and recalling in his mind. After sitting for a while, Qi Heng suddenly said: "Chu Xiao, let's go again."
"Can I come with you?"
As soon as Yuanli said this, the two men turned around and looked at her, each one looking more embarrassed than the other.
"You can't even get into a brothel." Chu Xiao joked to Qi Heng, "If a woman goes to a brothel, people will think she's some lady out to catch her husband, and they're afraid you'll catch her and make trouble."
