From Qin's point of view, it doesn't matter even if she gets a bad reputation. But as a mother, she had to consider the child in her belly. As the woman next to Huang Qiong, she knew how poisonous those censors were, and she didn't want to bring any humiliation to this man, or cause any criticism for herself. Unlike Dong Qianhong, she has been indifferent to the world since she came to Huang Qiong's side.
There was even a period of time when he deliberately avoided sleeping with the prince. Even though her mentality changed, Huang Qiong believed in her and doted on her, but she still maintained a deliberately low profile. Even a few days ago, Huang Qiong was annoyed by Dong Qianhong's unauthorized assertion. Huang Qiong once wanted her to be more mature and considerate of issues more comprehensively, but she was also rejected by Qin.
She never competes with any other woman for Qin's favor. Even in terms of abilities and talents, they are above Dong Qianhong. But he always maintained a deliberately low profile, never showing his face, let alone any outsiders. Even if she knew clearly that among the family members of officials who came to visit the palace during this period, she would not come forward to meet anyone no matter how familiar she was.
Although during these days, there was an endless stream of officials and their families who came to the palace to see Dong Qianhong. But because she never appeared in public, even people who were familiar with her did not know that she was now Mrs. Qin beside the prince. But if he goes out with Huang Qiong, his reputation will be small once he is recognized by someone interested. But for Huang Qiong, the current prince, the impact would be too great.
Especially when it involves the extermination of her ex-husband's family. If anyone knew about this, I am afraid that some thoughtful people who are still looking for trouble would put that shit basin on the crown prince Huang Qiong. No one would believe that a fourth-grade prefect dared to exterminate the families of three dynasty senators for the sake of a woman. I'm afraid everyone will think that the prince Huang Qiong did this.
Even if they don’t think so, some people will use their imagination to make up countless topics. If someone sees him going out, rumors will spread immediately. Therefore, for the sake of her unborn child and Huang Qiong's reputation, Mrs. Qin's first reaction to Huang Qiong's invitation was to reject it directly. But because he was worried about Huang Qiong, he also knew his stubborn temper.
Knowing that this guy had a donkey-like temper when he came up, Qin just said that he was feeling uncomfortable. After seeing Huang Qiong and hearing that she was not feeling well, she gave up her original plan to go out and wanted to stay in the palace with her. Although Qin's heart was filled with joy and a little sweetness because Huang Qiong was so considerate.
But I also know that Huang Qiong has been busy with Tubo affairs and worshiping the ancestral temple these days. Now he has encountered troubles in the clan. All these things have exhausted him. Going out for shopping is a rare way for Huang Qiong to relax. She still refused Huang Qiong's company on the pretext that she couldn't get out, but that didn't mean the other sisters couldn't get out, so she took her sisters out to relax.
Dong Qianhong had the same idea. At least now, she didn't want her adoptive father's old subordinates to know that she was the concubine of the current prince. I don’t even want to be exposed as someone close to the prince on the street. Even because now she is by Huang Qiong's side, she is actually in a position within the Lord. Her name as Mrs. Dong, the official family in Xijing City, has actually been known to everyone for a long time.
After she came to Xijing, those who came to see her wanted to take the wife route. Among the family members of officials, big and small, there were quite a few former subordinates of her adoptive father or father-in-law. But Dong Qianhong. Moreover, the man behind the loss of his father-in-law and adoptive father's official positions and heads was also the prince. In the past, in the palace, even if everyone knew everything, everyone knew each other tacitly, but when they left the palace, it was immediately revealed to the world.
Therefore, Dong Qianhong, like Qin, is unwilling to show up at this time. If Dong Qianhong and Qin didn't come out, how could the Gu family's three daughters, who were originally from a small family, dare to come out casually? As for Wu, she has not yet recovered from her grief, so naturally she will not go shopping. Li's reasons were similar to those of Dong Qianhong and Qin, but the only difference was that she really couldn't get out.
Mrs. Li who had a body was different from Ms. Qin who basically had no reaction after having a body. Perhaps because she was older and had her first child, Li had a great reaction to this pregnancy. Not only was she vomiting every now and then, but she also felt uncomfortable all the time. Huang Qiong did not dare to take her out. However, neither Dong Qianhong nor Qin wanted to come out, but insisted that Huang Qiong take Erluo out to be his personal bodyguard.
Although Er Luo actually didn't want to come out either, it could be seen that Huang Qiong was a little less interested because the others were unwilling to come out. Now that the two girls were in love, they finally decided to accompany him out. Because Huang Qiong once told them that his martial arts skills must not be spread to outsiders. Therefore, even though he knew that Huang Qiong's kung fu was much better than his own, the two women still agreed to be his bodyguards.
As the Xijing of Da Qi Dynasty, Chang'an City itself is extremely prosperous. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year again, and the streets are even more lively. Many people are reluctant to spend money no matter how much they save on weekdays. But it’s the Chinese New Year, and I still need to buy some items for my family. For his wife, buy a hairpin even if it is extremely poorly made, and a little bit of cheap powder of poor quality.
Buying a candy cane or a rattle for your child also shows some comfort to your family. So even though today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, there are bustling crowds everywhere in the East and West markets. Huang Qiong had already visited the East Market last time, and this time he came to the West Market. Compared with the East Market, probably because it is the first day of the Lunar New Year, the West Market is more lively today, with many families traveling as a family.
Looking at the dazzling array of products along the way, the performers at the market were listening to the shouts with various accents from all over the world. It was obvious that even though it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, those businessmen still did not intend to let this day go. Huang Qiong nodded lightly: "As expected, no one is rich without business. Compared with Jingzhao, which seems more luxurious, although Xijing is now the capital, it is more down-to-earth."
Seeing Er Luo following him closely, Huang Qiong remembered that he had just given Er Luo 500 yuan of personal money to each of them years ago. Huang Qiong said to Er Luo: "Don't be reluctant to part with it. Just buy whatever you like." That's right. If I don't give you enough money, why don't you still have me? As a husband, although I don't like luxury, I won't prohibit my wife from buying the things I like. "
But no matter what Huang Qiong said, Erluo still didn't buy anything. He just lowered his head and moved forward with Huang Qiong. Huang Qiong discovered that not only did the two women not buy anything, they even looked a little nervous. Huang Qiong, who roughly knew what the two girls were worried about at this time, just patted the two girls' shoulders comfortingly and whispered: "Don't worry, we are here, no one dares to lay a finger on you."
However, some people seem to exist specifically for slaps in the face. As soon as Huang Qiong finished speaking, a disgusting voice came from the opposite side: "Hey, aren't these the two shopkeepers' wives of the Xilai Grain Store in Kaihuafang? Why was the Xilai Grain Store in the previous period ransacked and the clerks were all dead? , even the Chang'an Mansion has arrived. The whereabouts of the two shopkeepers are also unknown, why didn't these two ladies run away with them? "
"Tsk tsk, so many big things have happened to my husband's family, but the two ladies don't look haggard at all. They even hooked up with such a pretty boy, and they even have a feeling that their appearance is even better than before. It seems that this pretty boy, on the bed It's quite moisturizing. However, with this guy's small body and gloomy look, he can't feed you enough. This is the age when you two are like wolves and tigers.
"I advise you to stay away from these pretty boys. You should just follow me. I don't mind you being a widow. As long as I am comfortable serving you, there is no problem in giving me a title. I am not bad at all. The only thing missing about money is that the bed lacks a hot little widow like you. How about it? There are others here celebrating the New Year, and they don’t even have money to buy a piece of jewelry. "
After this guy finished speaking, he and the few henchmen behind him couldn't help but burst out laughing. That guy was even more ambitious, and he stretched his hand towards Erluo's round chin: "Little beauty, I have seen you every day in the past few years but haven't been able to eat, but I'm really greedy. You two shopkeepers Husband, you are so fucking stupid. You know how hard it is to guard a grain store."
"If you had listened to me a long time ago and let you two accompany me for a few days, wouldn't you have made a lot of money just by virtue of my family's status in Xijing City? Your family didn't even ask for permission. Who doesn't know that our Chu family is here? Xi Jincheng’s hands and eyes can reach the sky. These are the three departments of Shaanxi Road, the Chief Secretary, the Transportation Department, and the Inspection Department. That department is not walking sideways. Although the King of Shu is dead, our Chu family still has hands and eyes that can reach the sky."
"You two, if you were willing to sleep with me for a few days, not only would you get a lot of money, but you would also be in the situation where your family was confiscated and your family was exterminated. Now I will give you a chance to get rid of this pretty boy and follow me obediently. Let’s go. From now on, I will ensure that you two sisters wear gold and silver and live in prosperity for the rest of your lives. When the time comes, let’s see if your two pretty boys can still protect you.”
This guy is very arrogant. Even in this broad daylight, where people come and go, he actually dares to tease women without any scruples. As the guy said this, he was still thinking about doing something. Just when the two women couldn't restrain themselves and wanted to get angry, Huang Qiong pulled her behind her. Huang Qiong walked up to this guy and smiled lightly: "It seems that Master Chu has a close relationship with the King of Shu."
When Huang Qiong mentioned the King of Shu, Master Chu said arrogantly: "Why are you so pretty? You must be scared when I hear you mention the King of Shu. Let me tell you, the business of the King of Shu in Xijing is all dependent on our Chu family." Helping Zhang Luo. Even though the King of Shu is dead now, this romantic relationship has been forged. There are bureaus in Xijing, plus there are bureaus in Shaanxi Road, that one cannot give us the face of the Chu family. "
"You go to Manxijing and ask, ask, what official in Xijing City dares not to give our Chu family face? I will send a note to Chang'an Mansion, and you will never get out of prison in this life. I have taken a fancy to this Xijing City. I have never been able to get a woman. I tell you, get away as far as you want and stay away from these two women. How can these two women be touched by a pretty boy like you?"
Regarding this guy's words, Huang Qiong smiled: "So, Master Chu is a die-hard member of the King of Shu? But relying only on the power of the King of Shu, Master Chu will not be so public. If Shu The king is still alive, and I still believe that the governors are giving the Chu family face. But they all say that the dead magistrate is worse than a living rat. The King of Shu has been dead for more than a year now, and the governors are running sideways."
"I'm afraid you, Mr. Chu, are bragging. Besides, even if the King of Shu is alive, as a dignified prince, he should not allow his subordinates to rob other women. Even if the Chu family is rich, this Xijing city With four ministries and six temples, there shouldn’t be even a place for reasoning in a government. Is Mr. Chu really so smart that he can bribe all the officials from dozens of yamen, big and small, in Xijing City?”
