Chapter 189: The henpecked Xia Jie
Time soon came to noon. Bi Yuntao got dressed neatly, said hello to Xiaolan, and then went to the palace to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother.
Bi Yuntao stopped and walked along the way, looking at this and that. "Isn't this Prince Qi's son? Hurry up and leave! What are you doing here?" Bi Yuntao, who was choosing jewelry for Xiaolan, raised his head when he heard this and saw General Xia, who was riding a horse and looking down at him.
"I have seen General Xia!" Bi Yuntao's mouth twitched slightly, why did he touch this hob meat. He quickly bowed and saluted, "I have nothing to do. I want to buy some jewelry for my maid. She doesn't have any jewelry at all. She is really shabby."
"You won't buy it next time? Seeing that the auspicious time for the Queen Mother's birthday is coming, you are still lingering here!" General Xia yelled, "I don't know how the Queen Mother educated you? All you can think about is women all day long! "
"What's wrong with the woman? Is the woman looking for you to mess with you?" Before Bi Yuntao could reply, the curtain of the carriage beside him opened, and an old woman walked out of it.
"Look at King Qi, he still knows how to buy jewelry for his maid. Look at you, an old man like you. When have you ever taken the initiative to buy something for me?"
With the help of the maid, the old woman got out of the carriage, picked up her crutch and hoeed the old general Xia Jie's back.
"Yeah!" Xia Jie groaned and remained silent.
"King Qi, please don't listen to this old guy. Just buy what you need. Do you want the old woman to help advise?" Mrs. Xia walked up to Bi Yuntao on crutches and said kindly.
The crutch made several heavy sounds on the ground, and anyone could tell that the crutch was extraordinary.
"No need!" Bi Yuntao shook his head crazily, "My son has already made his choice and is ready to leave for the palace."
Although Bi Yuntao was still frightened, he was also a little amused. General Xia was not afraid of heaven or earth when he was in the court, but he was unexpectedly afraid of henpecks. As expected, every thing descended upon him.
"Hehehe. Now that we have bought it, how about we go into the palace with the old woman?"
"This..." Bi Yuntao secretly glanced at General Xia, who was sitting silently on the horse. Seeing that he was not squinting and turning a blind eye to what happened just now, Bi Yuntao had no choice but to agree, "That boy is more respectful than obeying his orders! Then I’ll bother Mrs. Xia.”
But when I walked to the carriage, I ran into another difficulty. Men and women were not allowed to be intimate. This was the carriage that the female family members of General Xia's family were riding in. Wouldn't it make others gossip if he got on it so blatantly?
"Come up! The old woman happens to have something to ask King Qi." Mrs. Xia boarded the carriage and waved to Bi Yuntao.
"What kind of carriage are you taking? It's just a few steps, and you'll be too tired to walk along!" At this time, the old general Xia Jie said unhappily.
"How can I have any room for you, an old thing like me, to interrupt what I'm talking about?" Mrs. Xia glared at General Xia Jie viciously, "I see you, an old thing like you, need to be dealt with again!"
"You don't have to listen to this old thing. Just do whatever the old woman tells you to do."
"Okay!" Bi Yuntao nodded quickly without any hesitation. He was deeply afraid that he would offend Mrs. Xia if he promised slowly, so he gave himself a hoe. He didn't see when Mr. Xia was beaten just now. , are the veins on your forehead stretched? If you get a blow from this, you can bear it.
"Hurry up! You're taking your time!" Mrs. Xia waited for Bi Yuntao to get on the carriage, raised the curtain and shouted at General Xia Jie.
"Let's go!" Old General Xia's voice sounded outside the car, "You bastards, hurry up and move more quickly! I think you are in need of a slap!"
"You old thing, why are you venting your anger on the people under your command?" Old General Xia Jie's words were clearly heard by Mrs. Xia, "I'll take care of you, old thing, when I get back!"
Old General Xia Jie's soldiers had long been accustomed to this. They obeyed Old General Xia Jie's words and accelerated their pace.
"Hahaha! I made His Highness Prince Qi laugh." Mrs. Xia took Bi Yuntao's hand and said kindly, "Time is urgent, so the old woman won't beat around the bush and goes straight to the point."
"The old woman wants to ask His Highness King Qi what happened between my old man at Hanfeng Temple and that villain of the Right Prime Minister?"
"Nothing happened!" Bi Yuntao recalled everything that happened in Hanfeng Temple, but after thinking about it, he only knew that there was a conflict between General Xia and the left prime minister, and then the right prime minister came out to be the peacemaker, but Xia was The old general beat the right minister into a pig's head.
"Think about it again!" Seeing that Bi Yuntao didn't understand what he meant, he quickly reminded him, "The two of them have been in trouble for a while, and it was witnessed by Prime Minister Zuo."
"Uh!" Bi Yuntao racked his brains and couldn't figure out what Mrs. Xia wanted to ask. He smiled awkwardly and said awkwardly, "Well, Mrs. Xia, can you explain it in detail? Boy, I am really stupid. .”
"Oh! You kid, you look so smart, why are you so stupid!" Mrs. Xia complained as she opened the curtain of the car, exposing a crack, and peeked outside furtively, and saw that General Xia Jie was leading the way. , far away from the carriage, he felt relieved and whispered to Bi Yuntao, "According to the left prime minister, Xia Jie and the right prime minister have an ambiguous relationship, and they like Long Yang."
"Pfft! Cough cough cough!" Bi Yuntao almost choked on his own saliva. He beat his chest and scratched his back before swallowing. "So that's what you asked about!"
"What do you mean? You really know something!" Mrs. Xia grabbed Bi Yuntao's shoulders excitedly, "Let me tell you, you turned Hanfeng Temple upside down. The day you disappeared, the emperor almost didn't let Hanfeng be killed. The door of the temple was opened. How could you not know about these two old guys?"
"Hiss!" Bi Yuntao grinned and rubbed the shoulder that Mrs. Xia had slapped just now. It really hurt! I don’t know how General Xia Jie came here all these years.
"Hahaha! It hurts from the patting!" Mrs. Xia smiled awkwardly, "The old woman usually has strong hands, and she forgot about King Qi's delicate skin and tender flesh for a while, so she couldn't bear the strength of the old woman."
"Hehehe! It's okay. I'm young, my body can withstand these beatings." Seeing the embarrassed look on Mrs. Xia's face, Bi Yuntao quickly apologized. You also know that your hands are very strong! I know I have strong hands, but I don't know how to restrain myself. I'm not Xia Jie, I like leather whips and wax oil.
"Then tell me quickly, is it true that the old man Xia Jie likes Long Yangzhi as the Prime Minister Zuo said?"
"It should be true!" Bi Yuntao is not very sure about this. After all, he has never seen it with his own eyes, but his future father-in-law, Zuo Xiang, said that he saw it with his own eyes, and he also heard about it. So it should be true... right?
"It turns out it's all true!" Mrs. Xia sat aside dejectedly like a deflated rubber ball, muttering to herself.
"Uh!" Bi Yuntao was confused by what Mrs. Xia said, but in the current situation, he should say something, so he said, "Mrs. Xia, please forgive me!"
"Huh?" Mrs. Xia's eyes condensed and she stared at Bi Yuntao coldly, "Sorry about your legs, can you speak? Get out of here!" Before Bi Yuntao could react, Mrs. Xia raised her legs and said With his feet, Bi Yuntao was pushed out directly.
"Fuck! Help!" Bi Yuntao drew an arc in the air. Fortunately, General Xia Jie had quick eyesight and grabbed his collar, which prevented him from being run over by the carriage.
"Thank you, old general, for saving your life!" Bi Yuntao was like a little chicken, lifted up in the air by old general Xia Jie, and allowed to be slaughtered at will.
"Hmph!" Old General Xia Jie snorted coldly, lifting Bi Yuntao and placing him on his horse, "I shouldn't have said stop yelling, you know the consequences this time!"
"I know!" Bi Yuntao was about to cry without tears. It was obviously Mrs. Xia who asked him to say it, but why was he the one who got hurt after he said it?
"As long as you know! Drive!" Old General Xia Jie responded coldly, raised his whip and hit the horse's butt, speeding up.
"Well, General Xia, can you please let me get up!" Bi Yuntao, who was lying on top of the horse, was jolted so hard that he almost vomited. The little white porridge he drank in the morning had already reached the tip of his stomach. If he hadn't forced it If you endure it, General Xia will probably vomit all the way, and he will be able to leave a map of the route to the palace.
"Hey! Everyone, dismount!" When everyone came to the gate of the palace, General Xia Jie turned over and dismounted, grabbed Bi Yuntao's collar and pulled him off the horse.
Bi Yuntao's feet were weak at this time, his stomach was churning, and the strong feeling of vomiting became more intense. Without thinking, he rushed to the wall and held on to the wall to vomit.
"Hmph! That's all! What a soft-footed shrimp!" Looking at Bi Yuntao who was vomiting, Old General Xia Jie looked unhappy.
In fact, it’s not surprising that General Xia Jie was like this. Who made Bi Yuntao hit the muzzle of the gun?
I'm afraid no man can bear to have his wife humiliate him in front of outsiders, especially Xia Jie, who is a dignified general of a country. In front of so many people on the street, his wife came up to him and gave him a hoe. Son, it would be considered good if Bi Yuntao was not whipped to death. As for catching Bi Yuntao, it was because of the differences between the monarch and his subjects, otherwise he would have to let Bi Yuntao taste the feeling of being run over by a carriage.
"What are you looking at? Have you never seen me teach someone a lesson?" Old General Xia Jie scolded angrily as he looked at the guard looking this way.
The guards who were looking around all dwarfed and quickly withdrew their eyes, not daring to look around again. They knew the temper of old General Xia Jie, and if they offended him, they might not be able to bear the consequences and walk away.
"What are you yelling about! Does it sound like you have a loud voice?" Mrs. Xia stepped out of the carriage and saw Xia Jie showing off his power. She was furious, "Speak! You bully the weak and fear the strong!"
This was in front of the palace, and he was a dignified general of a country. How could he bear such an insult. Without saying a word, Old General Xia Jie rushed to Mrs. Xia's side and supported her flatteringly, "Oh! We are already in front of the palace, at least save some face for me."
"Hmph!" Mrs. Xia rolled her eyes at him, "I'll take care of you when I get home!" With the support of General Xia Jie, she slowly walked into the palace gate.
"King Qi, you kid, hurry up and follow me!" Xia Jie didn't see Bi Yuntao's figure, so he turned his head and shouted at him.
Bi Yuntao's scalp was numb from his yelling. He wiped the corners of his mouth and followed him step by step while holding on to the wall.
