That is the privacy of the Tian family. How can an ordinary petty official like me peep into it? If I am too curious, I am afraid that I will be the unlucky one. I am still honest and just be a good minister by His Highness's side. Although this man doesn't rub his eyes with sand, he is really a bit difficult to take care of. But a bowl of water is still fair. As long as you do your job well, he will see it.
Just when Liu Chang was full of doubts, Zheng Daoyuan over there had already reached the limit. He stood up. Although his body was already a little crooked, he still forced himself to be calm and saluted Huang Qiong: "I thank the prince for your love and the banquet. I drank too much today, which made me rude to you. Please invite me." Your Royal Highness, I apologize. I have to leave for Xining Prefecture tomorrow, so I can no longer drink this wine."
But at this time, Zheng Daoyuan was still sane. But his face felt like it was on fire, and it was frighteningly red. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he almost fell down. Fortunately, the two women waiting on the side had quick hands and eyes to support him, so that he did not make a fool of himself on the spot. Just looking at the two beautiful women supporting him, Zheng Daoyuan firmly pushed away after regaining his feet.
Seeing that Zheng Daoyuan had lost his composure, Huang Qiong, who knew that the time had come, took the opportunity to say: "Master Zheng has always been a steady man, and he lost his composure this time. It seems that Master Zheng is really drunk. Master Zheng is alone, with two people around him. There is no one to serve you. Even if you return to your own mansion, I will not feel at ease. In this way, Mr. Zheng will not go back for the time being and just stay in the palace to rest."
After that, he winked at the two women standing next to Zheng Daoyuan, who looked somewhat embarrassed because they were pushed away, and pretended to be angry: "What are you two doing there? Why don't you help Mr. Zheng quickly?" Going to rest? Mr. Zheng is a minister of the country, and he is also a capable official who I will rely on in the future. If you two do not serve me well today, I will definitely be severely punished."
After hearing Huang Qiong's instructions, the two women did not dare to neglect and hurriedly helped Zheng Daoyuan, who was already a little confused, to leave. Looking at Zheng Daoyuan being helped away by two women, Liu Chang looked thoughtful. After a moment of silence, he said to Huang Qiong: "Your Highness, Mr. Zheng is stubborn and aloof. He is the kind of person who may not drink water even if he holds his head under pressure. If you do this, it may be counterproductive."
Liu Chang's words made Huang Qiong slightly stunned. When I think of Zheng Daoyuan as a person, I already felt a little regretful, but now I feel even more regretful. This guy has been alone for so many years because of his eldest sister. Not to mention marrying a wife and having children, he didn't even take a concubine. When he was the prefect of Fengxiang, even the county prince's palace didn't pay attention to it, and he didn't give any face to the local clan.
These things are enough to show the tenacity of this person. A grown man, who has not had a woman by his side for so many years, is still waiting hard. Even though he had reached this position in the official position, he didn't even have a concubine by his side. Among the officials who had wives and concubines in the court, he really stood out. For such a noble man, to do this is to force the cow to drink water.
However, the fact that this guy can reach this point shows that he still has a sense of responsibility. No matter how bad it is, he is not the kind of person who, after eating cleanly and wiping his mouth, lifts his pants and refuses to acknowledge his fault. I actually didn't have much thought about giving him a concubine. It's just that when he goes to Xining Prefecture, it won't work without a woman by his side to take care of him. Today's Xining Prefecture is still a sparsely populated area.
When the imperial court set up Xining Prefecture, it was just a festival town set up to contain the Qingtang Tibetans. Although it is Zhili Prefecture under the Longyou Road, there are not many Han people, and most of them are from other ethnic groups. The number of troops stationed there far exceeds that of the local Han people. The high altitude, harsh climate, and relatively harsh living environment there are all unbearable for ordinary people.
After going to Xining Prefecture for three years, Huang Qiong was still a little worried about Zheng Daoyuan, a scholar who had lived in the plains all year round and had probably never even climbed mountains. After all, he is in his forties. In this era when life expectancy is generally low, Zheng Daoyuan is still in the prime of life in the mainland. But when it comes to Xining Prefecture, it may not be able to withstand the test.
Become a second-grade official, especially in the border areas. According to the imperial court's regulations, Zheng Daoyuan was assigned his own soldiers. He himself was surrounded by bookboys and servants. But these old men are not as delicate in their thoughts as women. Compared with women, they are still far behind in taking care of people. I want to arrange two concubines for him, just to take good care of his body and avoid any accidents.
Although Zheng Daoyuan had some messy things with his eldest sister. But after all, this person's talents and abilities are still very important to me, and I hope that he can go further. I sent him to Xining Prefecture to take on a heavy responsibility, not because he wanted anything to happen to him. Although the matter between him and his eldest sister was somewhat unpleasant to the Tian family, it was not to the point of killing someone and silencing them.
I even hope that he can take care of his health, and that there are two people around him who know both cold and heat, and can take good care of him in that remote place. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong became somewhat confident again. He put down his wine glass and said to Liu Chang: "You don't need to worry about Mr. Zheng's affairs. You should consider your own affairs first and do your own thing. During these days, you should go to Dr. Li for acupuncture once a day. "
"When you are cured, I will reward you in the same way. Now continue to drink your wine, but don't drink too much. In the future, you must drink in moderation and don't drink too much. Remember, you are an official of the imperial court. No matter what Whether he is out in the field or in the central government, he is still an official. As an official, he has certain rights, big or small, in his hands. If you don’t drink in moderation, it is easy for others to take advantage of you. "
Huang Qiong's words made Liu Chang's expression change slightly. Just thinking of his wife at home, he cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, I already have a good wife at home and have three children. I can't be sorry. I have suffered so much with you these years, but I have never left my good wife." . I have truly realized that I was wrong, and I will promise not to do that thing again. I really hope that His Highness will take back this fate."
Regarding this guy's words, Huang Qiong shook her head and said: "This matter was originally requested by your lady, and I just followed the trend. But after knowing the cause of your illness, I believe that your wife still has foresight in this matter. Don’t talk about this matter anymore. I have already made up my mind and will not make any changes. Regarding this matter, I think it is better to take some precautions in advance.”
Liu Chang was obviously embarrassed by Huang Qiong's reprimand. With Zheng Daoyuan leaving, Huang Qiong, who originally had no interest in wine, naturally had no interest in drinking anymore. Huang Qiong put down the wine glass, and Liu Chang naturally didn't dare to drink anymore. The farewell banquet ended here. When Huang Qiong got up early the next morning, she was shocked to find that Zheng Daoyuan had left at midnight last night.
Because it was midnight, according to the palace's customs, the palace door could not be opened after it was locked. Zheng Daoyuan could not leave the palace, so he squatted at the entrance of the palace for half the night. As soon as the palace door opened this morning, he left the palace. It wasn't until Huang Qiong found the two women that he realized that Zheng Daoyuan had entered the yard he had arranged for him last night and directly pushed the two women who were supporting him out.
Last night, he would rather drink water desperately, even pinching his legs blue, without touching the two women. After he barely woke up, he immediately left the residence he had arranged. He would rather stay at the gate of the palace, braving the cold wind for most of the night, than return to the residence he had arranged for him. After doing it for a long time last night, this guy put on a show for himself in front of him.
Yesterday, this guy was not drunk at all, but pretended to be drunk in front of him. He must have sensed that something was wrong in the wine, and acted out deliberately to avoid making a fool of himself. Last night's performance also shows that this person's self-control is really not very strong. And it shows that this guy's sense of smell is not particularly sensitive. No matter how far this person goes, it can make you feel at ease.
Standing up, Huang Qiong ordered people to invite Zheng Daoyuan immediately. It was just that the eunuch who was sent out to invite people came back to report but told Huang Qiong. Zheng Daoyuan left Xijing early this morning with his entourage. And according to the soldiers guarding the city gate, Zheng Daoyuan and his party were all riding fast horses. After the eunuch reported, he asked if he could send someone to recover Zheng Daoyuan.
Huang Qiong could only shake his head and smile bitterly when he heard that Zheng Daoyuan actually fled Chang'an City early in the morning as if he was on the run. He waved his hand and signaled the eunuch to step back. I am also a little depressed, feeling that I am now being avoided by Zheng Daoyuan like a plague. This guy left in such a hurry that he didn't even take away the three hundred soldiers he arranged for him.
Huang Qiong ordered the three hundred soldiers who had been prepared long ago to immediately prepare enough dry food and drinking water to catch up with Mr. Zheng who had fled. Although that guy ran fast, he was a civil servant after all, not a military commander who rode horses all year round. Although he rides a fast horse, where is his physical fitness? I guess I'll have to stop and rest after running for a while. It's too late to chase after him at this time.
The eunuch who was about to deliver the order ran all the way to deliver his order. Huang Qiong glanced at the two women still kneeling in front of him. He raised his hand to signal them to get up. This matter itself cannot be blamed on them, so why should I bother them? When Huang Qiong motioned for her to get up, and her tone did not want to hold them responsible, the two women breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, Huang Qiong ran away from Zheng Daoyuan in a hurry at this time. Although he didn't say anything on his lips, he was still full of anger in his heart. Being tricked by that guy twice in a row, no one would be happy. Not to mention, during this period of time, Huang Qiong, who was ruling alone in Xijing, could almost be said to be a man of one word in Xijing, had developed a somewhat arbitrary character.
And from yesterday to now, he had been tricked twice by Zheng Daoyuan, his de facto brother-in-law. With Huang Qiong's current status, how could he tolerate it. It was only because of face and cherishment of this guy's talent that Huang Qiong reluctantly endured it. Facing two beautiful women, Huang Qiong said he was not guilty. But in his heart, he still somewhat directed his resentment towards the two women.
Before the two women had time to react, they were pressed onto the desk. After three times, five times and two times, the clothes were torn clean. Huang Qiong didn't pay attention to the feelings of the two women and started tossing them directly. Dong Qianhong, who originally brought two women to reply, was somewhat shocked when he saw the scene in front of him. Before she could react, her head was pushed down.
Just when Huang Qiong was changing tricks and tossing these three women. Cai, who brought Zhang Qiaoer into the palace and came to see Huang Qiong, sighed slightly when he heard something was wrong inside the palace gate. He tugged Zhang Qiaoer, who was about to ask the eunuch Tongbing, and told her not to go in and disturb him at this time. Otherwise, she might get involved now that she has a body.
