Chapter 129
The banquet is over.
Wei Shao saw that Wei Quan seemed to have something to say. He waved his hands hastily, said to go to the toilet, and strode away.
Wei Quan chased Wei Shao all the way, and finally chased him outside Ximing, admonishing: “The lord plans to decide the world, just to recruit heroes and bring people together. Guo Quan took the initiative to send his daughter, in addition to marrying the lord, but also for the sake of the lord. Ask for stability. The lord accepts it, but I don’t know why? I saw Guo Xing’s eyes at that time, and I must have been unsure. I was afraid of his doubts. After a few words of relief, I saw that he was barely at ease.
Wei Shao said, “I’ve pushed everything, you told me to go back? Needless to say, I just ate too much wine and was in a hurry to go to the toilet.”
Say it and step inside.
Wei Quan is upright, but he doesn’t want to act in the eyes of others. If you decide what you should do, you must say something ugly before giving up.
Once, in order to persuade Wei Shao to accept his advice, he chased him for three days. In the end, Wei Shao was helpless and gave up after agreeing.
Wei Shao also knew that he had just rejected Guo Nu, and his behavior was unexpected. Therefore, as soon as the banquet saw Wei Quan approaching him, he immediately went to the toilet.
Unexpectedly, he chased after him all the way.
Wei Shao held his breath inside and dawdled for a while, until he couldn’t hear any movement outside, thinking that Wei Quan had left, and then came out.
I don’t think he was still standing by the door. One turned around to enter again, but Wei Quan blocked the way.
“My lord! The lords have one wife and eight concubines! The lord now has only one female monarch, and he has to take several concubines and concubines. It is only natural. The lord should accept it!”
Wei Shao didn’t seem to hear it, and he raised his feet to leave, but Wei Quan firmly grabbed his sleeves from behind.
Wei Shao was annoyed and turned around and said, “Guo Quan is sending a daughter off today. If I accept it, I will have another one tomorrow, and you want me to accept it again? How can I be covered with endless essence, water, rain and dew? Don’t talk more!”
Wei Quan was stunned. He hurriedly argued: “My lord misunderstood my intention. My original intention was that this time the Guo family showed goodwill, and the lord refused to accept it. Guo Quan was afraid of doubts, which would not be conducive to a strong relationship.”
Wei Shao threw off his sleeves and said angrily, “I seek the world, but rely on women’s crony?” After that, he strode forward.
Wei Quan felt that Junhou’s remarks seemed reasonable, but they seemed to be contrary to common sense.
Ding hesitated outside the toilet door, looked up and saw Gongsun Yang coming on the opposite side, and hurriedly chased after him to say hello: “Military teacher! You came just in time!”
Gongsun Yang also came here anxiously after drinking. I glimpsed Junhou and Wei Quan outside the toilet from a distance, and immediately stopped and turned to leave in a hurry.
Nai He has been seen by Wei Quan. Hearing him calling him from behind, he had to stop and walk over with a smile on his face.
Wei Quan repeated what he had just said.
“Does the military advisor think what I said is reasonable? Should the lord accept it?”
Gongsun Yang glanced at the monarch, whose face was gloomy and hazy, and coughed: “Cough…cough…the lord should have his own thoughts on this matter…the Minister of the Guard can do his duty…the rest…cough…cough… The lord himself should think about it…”
Wei Quan originally thought that Gongsun Yang, like himself, would persuade him.
I don’t want him to cough for a long time and come out with such a sentence.
Fu was stunned again: “Why didn’t the military adviser persuade him? I didn’t force the lord to accept the beauty. I also know that the lord is not a person who covets beauty. It’s just that the behavior of the lord at today’s banquet is really not appropriate, so I dare to speak. I really don’t understand why the lord doesn’t accept it…”
“I’m scared, how?”
After Wei Shao finished speaking, he raised his foot in anger and walked away.
Wei Quan was stunned, opened his mouth, and stared blankly at the back of Junhou Yang, who was walking away, until he could no longer see anyone, and then slowly turned to Gongsun Yang.
Gongsun Yang waved his hand: “Chief Guard Shi Mo asked me, I don’t know more than you. I’m going to the toilet too.”
…
Wei Shao went back to his room. Xu Zhong.
It’s late.
But because of the banquet at the beginning of the evening, it is not too late to come back at this o’clock.
In the few days that Xiao Qiao was picked up from the post house, she always felt down during the day.
After preparing for the banquet tonight, and she has nothing to do with her, she just lay down.
People lie down, but can’t sleep.
Closing his eyes, the scene of Wei Shao appearing in front of him on that thunderstorm night appeared in his mind like a chicken in soup.
That night, her mood was indescribable.
At first, she married into the Wei family, and the only mission she shouldered was also her own sole purpose, which was to resolve the hatred between the Qiao and Wei families due to the previous generation.
Compared with the Qiao family, Xiao Qiao’s own wish was actually more urgent.
Because she knew what Wei Shao, the founding emperor of Dayan, who was full of hatred in her previous life, had done to the Qiao family.
Two years have passed.
She married when she was fourteen and is now sixteen.
In the past two years, from the very beginning, she was afraid of taking the wrong step and saying the wrong word, and finally she gradually became a little integrated into the Wei family, and even got the favor of her husband Wei Shao, and now she can even rely on his favor. What is it like to lose your temper in front of you?
But she never dared to think that she would be able to get the assurance from Wei Shao that he would not move Qiao’s family.
She knew exactly how deep Wei Shao’s revenge obsession was buried in his heart because of the death of his father and brother.
How arrogant and cruel he is, and Xiao Qiao knows it well.
So, at that moment, when his bloodshot eyes stimulated by the rain stared at her, she was shocked when he suddenly said such a paragraph when she was unprepared.
It was strange that at that moment, she was not as relieved as she should have been.
Not relieved, but wanted to cry.
For him and for myself.
He was willing to make such a promise to her in order to make her “please me as I please you”, and she knew how difficult it was for him. Therefore, he is also eligible to attach conditions like naked transactions. It is right and proper. Even in this way, she will inevitably have a feeling that she is a sacrifice on the altar.
But maybe, in the end, he just wanted her heart and let her love his heart completely.
Joe understands this.
But Xiao Qiao knew that he couldn’t do it.
The “yes” she should have said at the time was deceiving him.
She likes Wei Shao, this man whose teeth are itchy when he’s bad, but also makes her fleshy and soul-swept when he’s good.
But she couldn’t be completely relieved about the future because of his promise.
The floating clouds are like white clothes, and the whiskers have turned into grey dogs. There are too many variables in the world.
Ten or twenty years is too far away, so I don’t think about it.
How can I know what I was thinking today at this moment last year?
She believed that Wei Shao’s promise at that moment was from his sincerity.
But she also knew that the man-devouring beast in his heart was now only forcibly locked in a cage by himself with an iron chain.
I don’t know what day I will get out of here because of what.
She was willing to do her best to repay the promise Wei Shao made to her.
But she was still waiting for her father to strengthen the Qiao family, just as she had thought.
Hatred may be restrained by the love of a woman alone, and even children.
But it can never be eliminated.
Joey knows this.
…
Chunniang knew that Xiao Qiao hadn’t fallen asleep yet, so she entered the room to accompany her. Seeing that Xiao Qiao was thoughtful, he explained again: “Young lady, don’t think too much. The Guo family…”
Xiao Qiao sat up and interrupted her with a smile: “I see that Chunniang thinks more than me!”
Chunniang sighed and shook her head in a self-deprecating manner: “What the lady said is true. I won’t talk anymore.”
Xiao Qiao said, “Chunniang can rest assured. Your husband will not accept Guo’s daughter.”
As for the two beauties, she didn’t even care about them.
In a few more years, if Wei Shao encounters the same situation, she can’t guarantee what she will do.
But this time, she didn’t have to think about it, she intuitively told him that Wei Shao would never accept it.
Chunniang was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of joy, and shook Xiao Qiao’s hand, feeling her fingertips get cold, and hurriedly told her to lie down and helped her tuck the quilt. He turned around to clean up the bowl of cold chicken soup that Xiao Qiao only ate a few mouthfuls of.
Suddenly, footsteps approached, and when he turned around, he saw Wei Shao coming in.
Chunniang called Sheng Nanjun, took the remnant lamp to go out, but was stopped by Wei Shao.
“what?”
“Black Chicken Soup.”
Chunniang said: “It’s for the lady. The lady can’t eat it, it’s cold, and she’s about to take it out…”
“I’ll eat and see.”
Wei Shao took the bowl from the tray. Before Chunniang could stop her, she saw him snoring a few times, put the bowl back on the tray, and burped.
“It tastes weird!” He smacked his lips and commented.
“No wonder Manman doesn’t eat it. Next time, make it better. If the cook can’t do it, change it!”
Chunniang was speechless. Glancing at Xiao Qiao, he left the room with a tray in hand.
In the past few days, Xiao Qiao’s mood was a little floating.
He suddenly wanted to laugh at this scene.
He couldn’t help pulling up the quilt, covering his face, shaking his shoulders and chuckling.
Suddenly, the bedside seemed to sink, and someone pulled his head off.
Wei Shao was already lying beside her, staring at her, his eyebrows jumped.
“What are you laughing at?”
Joe shook his head.
“Speak!” He made the appearance of a bully.
Joe still shook his head.
There were a few locks of hair on the pink cheeks, which were beautiful and playful.
Wei Shaoding stared at it for a while, then stretched out his fingers to help her remove the hair on her face, and said, “Manman, today Guo Quan gave me two beauties. Very beautiful, very beautiful. One will Sing with a voice like a lark. One can dance, as light as flying…”
He stopped.
“But I didn’t even look at it.”
Xiao Qiao glanced at him and smiled: “How did you know she could fly if you didn’t look?”
Wei Shao paused: “Just one glance.”
Busy then continued: “Not only that, Guo Quan actually wants to send his daughter to be my concubine!”
He looked indignant.
“I thought to myself at the time, I have a savage, not to mention that the mortal daughter of Guo Quan’s family is the goddess of Yaochi, and I decided not to take a second look! I refused on the spot. Chasing me, I have to admit Guo Nv! In the end, I scolded him sharply, and he retreated in shame!”
After he finished speaking, he closed his mouth and stared at her with two dark eyes.
…
In the past few days since I came back, I probably noticed that her mood was not high, plus she was sullen.
Xiao Qiao could also see that Wei Shao was in front of him, as if to please him cautiously.
For the past few nights, I only slept with her. Seeing that she didn’t seem to be in high spirits, she didn’t want her anymore.
At this moment, Xiao Qiao read something in his eyes.
She stared at him. He stretched out two snow-white lotus roots towards him, wrapped his arms around his neck, put his lips to his ear and said, “Manman knows that your husband is kind to me.”
Two soft lips kissed his cheek.
Wei Shao closed his eyes, took a deep breath of her fragrance, and pressed down to kiss her lips.
Xiao Qiao smelled the smell of his chicken soup mixed with alcohol.
My stomach suddenly twitched again.
After holding back for a while, he couldn’t bear it any longer. He pushed him away, got up and lay on his lap, spitting out a mouthful of filth in his stomach.
