"Whoa whoa whoa-!"
The child was so frightened that he burst into tears.
Cheng Wanwan was talking to someone when he heard the cry of a child and hurriedly followed it.
I saw the little granddaughter of Mr. Zhao’s family standing in front of King Qin and crying loudly. King Qin’s guards stared at the child with a fierce look on their faces. Their hands were still on the hilt of the sword at their waist, as if they wanted to take out the sword and put it on it. on the child's neck.
She rushed over, shielding the crying child behind her, and looked at the person opposite her with cold eyes: "What is your prince doing?"
Her eyes were full of condemnation and caution, which made King Qin feel inexplicably depressed.
He said in a cold voice: "Zi Zi Wu Zhi has collided with my king. How should I deal with it?"
Only then did Cheng Wanwan notice that King Qin's moon-white brocade robe was stained with a huge oil mark. Although soap could wash off the oil mark, it would cause wrinkles. How could such a flaw be found in exquisite clothes? For King Qin, , this piece of clothing was ruined, no wonder he was so angry.
"This is a high-grade Yunshui brocade robe. The queen rewarded me with some last time, but I have never used it. Why not use it to compensate the prince." Cheng Wanwan turned around and said, "Ninglan, go to the warehouse to get the cloth."
Ninglan took the order and hurried forward.
Cheng Wanwan continued, "It is true that the child bumped into the prince. No matter what, she must bear the mistakes she made. But the child is too young and is indeed ignorant. She has been frightened to this point. It is really hard for her to apologize. It's a bit embarrassing. I am also considered the child's elder, so let me apologize to the prince on behalf of the child."
She bent her knees slightly and made an apology, "Please give me a lot, Your Majesty."
King Qin didn't say anything, so she kept maintaining this posture. No matter what, she had to have an apologetic attitude when she apologized.
The workers in the yard did not dare to express their anger. They were all frightened and had no idea what to do.
Only the child who caused the trouble was sobbing softly, his eyes full of panic.
King Qin pursed his lips and looked at the top of her head.
This woman always handles things in such a flawless manner. She was also like this last time at the Dahe Banquet in Huzhou. She calmed down his anger in a few words.
Why did he care about her? Maybe it was because she was different.
He wanted to get his hands on anyone and anything that was different.
He reached out and held Cheng's curved upper arm, and said in a very gentle tone: "I will naturally not care about a three-year-old child. Suigong people don't have to do this. Please get up."
Cheng Wanwan pulled out his arm as if reflexively.
She quickly took a step back, raised her head and showed an awkward yet polite smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your magnanimity."
After saying that, she immediately turned around and picked up the sobbing girl, "Good boy, stop crying. I'll take you home."
The child hugged Cheng Wanwan's neck tightly, as if this would make him feel safe.
Cheng Wanwan nodded politely to King Qin, and quickly disappeared from the door of the workshop.
After she sent the child to Mr. Zhao's home, she did not go to the workshop or go home. Instead, she went to Cheng Yuanyuan's home.
This is a yard she personally participated in designing. It feels safe here and allows her to calm down and think about things.
Seeing the solemn look on her face, Da Ya and Er Ya didn't dare to disturb her. They brought hot tea, lit the stove, and then went back to do their own business.
Cheng Wanwan took a sip of tea and quietly looked at the snowy scene outside the house.
She is not a stupid person. She has probably figured out what King Qin means by staying in Dahe Town.
She is not a narcissistic person. She does not think that King Qin loves her or likes her. So far, it should be due to interest.
Her behavior was quite different from that of women of this era, which attracted the attention of King Qin. King Qin, a bachelor with a romantic temperament, naturally set his sights on her. He stayed in Dahe Town probably just to satisfy his needs for a while. aroused interest.
How should she respond?
The cup of tea was quickly drank, but Cheng Wanwan still couldn't figure out the reason.
The main reason is that the status of King Qin is too special. How can he offend a fourth-grade Gongren?
If she refuses forcefully and angers King Qin, she will not be able to bear the consequences.
If Quyi wanted to please her and the fourth-grade Gongren got entangled with the King of Qin, her official career would have ended here.
"Wanwan, it turns out you are really here." Cheng Yuanyuan opened the curtain and walked in, "Da Ya said you looked worried. What happened?"
Cheng Wanwan sighed: "That King Qin is really a big trouble."
What a prince, he doesn't stay in the capital or go to his own fiefdom, but comes to this small town to do ridiculous things. It's really speechless.
"I heard that early this morning, King Qin asked several women in the village about Dashan Dad, and also asked the county magistrate about his previous proposal for marriage." Cheng Yuanyuan thought of something and lowered his voice. "Wanwan, tell me the truth, is this King Qin treating you..."
Cheng Wanwan shook his head: "This King of Qin is probably just asking around casually. When I say he is troublesome, I mean that he has an unusual status. He wanders around the town every day. There are so many children in the town. If another child collides with him, I will I’m afraid that he can’t help but bully a child..."
It wasn't that she didn't want to tell Cheng Yuanyuan what King Qin was thinking. The main thing was that it was her own guess. If she told it, wouldn't it make Cheng Yuanyuan worry about it?
That's all, let's go and find out what King Qin thinks first.
Cheng Wanwan and Cheng Yuanyuan talked about some other things before getting up and going home.
It was already evening now, and it got dark relatively early. Many lanterns were lit on the way back, illuminating the road ahead.
When I got home, it was time for dinner.
As soon as she entered the flower hall, she saw King Qin sitting in her usual eating position, with a group of maids and women waiting on him tremblingly beside him.
Seeing her return, Mrs. Qi and others breathed a sigh of relief.
King Qin raised his eyes and looked at her: "Sui Gong is back at the right time, let's have a meal together."
Cheng Wanwan smiled but said: "The book says that men and women do not sit at the same table when they are seven years old, so my wife will not eat at the same table with the prince. Please use it slowly, prince."
"Sui Gong." King Qin's voice was a little tougher, "What I just said is an order."
"Since it is an order, I will obey it."
Cheng Wanwan walked over and sat at the seat furthest away from King Qin, his expression very calm.
King Qin raised his hand and waved: "You all go down."
Mrs. Qi's heart skipped a beat. She was still thinking before why the noble prince stayed in Dahe Town... What else doesn't she understand now? It turns out that King Qin fell in love with Gongren...
The women that King Qin likes basically enter the King of Qin's palace and become concubines. Concubines are equivalent to slaves and are not even qualified to give birth to children for King Qin...
She couldn't imagine the scene of Sui Gongren being imprisoned in Prince Qin's Mansion. It was really terrible...
Her eyes fell worriedly on Cheng Wanwan, unwilling to step back.
Cheng Wanwan said softly: "Maybe King Qin has something to say to me. You all can go down. Don't come in unless ordered."
After she said so, Mrs. Qi had no choice but to take all the maids and leave the flower hall.
Soon, only Cheng Wanwan and King Qin were left in the flower hall.
