The cold wind passed by outside the house, and half of the plum blossoms fell with the wind. The white snow mixed with red plums was as beautiful as a painting.
By lunch time, Li Shi had already returned home. He took off his three-beam crown and entered Weilan Garden. He patted the crimson robe and skirt again and watched Gongren teaching Xian Ke how to read and write by the desk. He walked lightly. After a while, he quietly sat on the high chair.
Xianke walked up to him with the book and presented it to him, and said respectfully: "Dad, you are back. Today I read Mr. Muzhi's poems and I will recite them to you immediately!"
He remained silent, flipped through the book, held his forehead and said, "Father, I'm a little tired today, so you can go find my second sister!"
How could Xianke know the pros and cons? He said bluntly: "Second sister is not here, so she went to be with Princess Jiaxiang..."
Gongren was afraid that he would continue talking, so he immediately interrupted the childish words: "Xianke, come here, I'll watch your back!"
Although he hadn't finished speaking, Li Shi was already half displeased, and he turned to ask: "How did the lady discipline the girl? Why did she let her run around again!"
Gongren Zhengzheng stood upright in front of Li Shi: "Today Princess Jiaxiang came and asked her to study painting, so I let her go!"
"My wife just thought that the girl's painting practice was just a cover for a secret meeting with King Naqi!"
Gongren immediately came over and sat next to him: "Officials, please don't be angry, Qingya will never be like this!"
"Why!"
As he shook his head and sighed, Qing Ya walked in with a bright face, and Cui He followed behind with a bag of pastries in her hand. As soon as she stepped into the door, she saw Li Shiju sitting there. She immediately stopped smiling and stepped forward: "Dad, You are in court!"
When Li Shi saw her coming back, he suppressed his anger and said to Gongren: "Madam, please take Xian'er down!"
"Sir, Qingya is back, let her go back to the embroidery building!"
Li Shi waved her hand to let her go down, but she refused to leave: "Official..."
"Madam, get down!" Following the stern voice, Gongren couldn't say anything. She paused on the spot and looked at Qingya.
She paused and said, "Sister, please take the fourth brother back to his room first!"
Gongren frowned and was in a dilemma. She pulled Xianke out of the house and watched anxiously in the corridor outside the house.
When the two of them walked out, Li Shi immediately became furious and smashed the tea cup on the table to pieces. The sound of shattering frightened Cui He and immediately fell to the ground.
Kyouto saw something was wrong and wanted to go in, but was stopped by Mo Ying, the maid beside him.
"Madam, if you try to persuade me, you will add fuel to the fire."
Li Shi walked up to her, pointed at the flower between her eyebrows, and his saliva was about to splash all over her: "You are a rebellious girl, even if your father's words are ignored, look what you are like, a girl's family, you actually secretly Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and embarrass my Li family!"
She said softly: "Dad, my Jurchen children are not as rigid as the Han people. Women are relatively free. Besides, I have never done anything out of the ordinary."
"What you said is absolutely true, but didn't you go to Qi State Mansion just to have a private meeting with Prince Qi? My father said that your cousin will come back, how can you behave like this?"
When she mentioned the old incident again, she was filled with sadness, and there was some energy in her chest: "Dad, my cousin and I are just brother and sister. There is no other meaning. My cousin has a cousin-in-law and two wives. I'm going to What’s the matter!”
"King Qi is not just a concubine, what's the difference between the two?"
"It's different..., I thought about it, so I made it clear to my father today. My daughter has admired King Qi for a long time and hopes that her father will let go of the past."
Qingya, at such a young age, spoke of the love between children, which was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
As expected, Li Shi was so angry that he pointed his finger at her: "Where is this blue sky and white sun? Look at all the ridiculous words in your mouth. You are going to make your father angry to death."
"Dad, Wan Yanliang is the prince and prime minister, so he is more noble than his cousin. Why is dad willing to accept his cousin but not him?"
"The girl's family is not about marrying well, but marrying the right one. Who is Wan Yanliang? He is full of tricks, knows all the tricks, and likes to play with women. If you join his family, you will have endless things to eat. Trouble. Take a look at your cousin again. He has a calm and sensible personality. He has been acquainted with foreign affairs for a long time, knows how to be frugal despite troubles, and keeps Liaoyang in order all by himself. Only if you marry him will you be truly happy!"
She sneered: "My cousin is naturally excellent, but dad has never been in contact with King Qi. How do you know that he is not good, so he listened to different opinions and used this to define him?"
Li Shi scolded: "Yes, he is not good. If my father takes care of you, it will be whatever he says! Have you come into contact with him? To what extent? Did you privately promise to live with him for the rest of your life?" Have you offered your innocent body?"
She suddenly felt that Li Shi was really misinterpreting people's opinions and even a little unreasonable, so she frowned again: "Dad, what do you mean? Don't you know what my nature has been like since I was a child? How could I do such a shameful thing? Things? Now I think I can choose life-long events by myself, why should dad get involved in other things?"
Li Shi sneered and mocked her ignorance: "You choose? How old are you? Not to mention that since ancient times, women have followed their fathers when they get married. You have read many poems and books, but you don't even understand this?"
"It's because I've read books that I understand what I want better. Now, even if my father is in the way, I will find a way. If I want to marry, I will marry the person of my choice."
Li Shi withdrew his hand and turned his back to her with his hands on his waist. He was so angry that he said in a trembling voice: "You are such a rebellious girl, you are so courageous... Are you going to resist your father as your master now?"
He shouted sternly: "Come here, please tell me the law! Let me see if you still dare to think like this. My Li family is upright and upright. Even if I beat you to death, I can't let you be like this." Destroy the family tradition."
Cui He was frightened and turned pale: "Master, please calm down!"
In contrast, Qingya was extremely calm: "Hit me, just beat me to death! I have been accustomed to whips and boards since I was a child. If you beat me to death earlier, I will meet the shaman empress sooner."
"I told the Shaman Queen early on how my father gave his own daughter as a gift to others."
When she said this, she gradually choked up and couldn't control herself.
"Okay, now you are in trouble. Give me a beating and don't stop!"
Li Shi waved with trembling hands, and all the other people standing there went out and closed the door tightly. The two maids lifted her onto a bench, held her down, and lifted up her outer skirt, leaving only an inner train.
Hearing this, Gongren immediately broke away from Mo Ying's support, opened the door and walked in. He stood in front of Li Shi and said cautiously: "My lord, Qingya is still young and can't bear the punishment of the rod, so you can punish her with imprisonment." You can eat anything.”
Xianke also ran in and fell to the ground: "Dad, please calm down, my second sister is so fragile. If she does this again, I'm afraid it will be broken."
"This girl has been disobedient and unfilial many times, and she has a close relationship with my wife. Do you want her to follow in your footsteps?"
Hearing this, the veins on Kyouto's forehead popped out, and she immediately tried to catch her. However, several maids with good eyesight nearby grabbed Kyouto with their hands, and no matter how hard she tried to break away, it was of no avail.
The room was filled with light smoke. Under the dim light, Qingya endured the falling of the maid's wooden staff. She raised her head with all her strength. The beaded hairpin and pendant in front of her forehead were scattered on the ground. She could only hear the sound of breaking beads and the sound of the staff being scolded.
Kyouto was sobbing on the side, and Xianke shed big tears.
Xianke fell to the ground and burst into tears, slapping his forehead: "Daddy, please beg daddy, please beg daddy! Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu."
Her yellowish hair was scattered, entangled around her eyes and neck, her face was flushed, bloodshot eyes accumulated into tears, and sweat dripped down her forehead.
After a while, bright red blood stains gradually appeared on the elegant inner skirt. After seeing this, the maid did not dare to do anything anymore and looked at each other.
Dimly, she heard Li Shi ask: "Can you change it?"
Her weak voice still refused, and she gritted her teeth and remained silent for a moment.
When Li Shi heard that she was so stubborn and refused to beg for mercy, he waved to the maid to hit her again. The wooden stick fell harder, and the blood from the buttocks stuck to her dress and dripped with blood.
I could only hear something in her mouth: "Li Qingya, you don't want any gifts, no."
The maid's hand was so severe that her whole body was paralyzed, and her nails were embedded in the wooden bench. She lay on the wooden bench like a dead person, with her hands and head hanging down helplessly.
Kyouto felt as if her heart was piercing her bones, and immediately rushed forward, holding her tear-stained face in his hands, crying tearfully. Only then did the two muscular maids stop their hands, and they looked at each other.
"Qingya, Qingya, my son!"
The elegant and weak voice called out: "Sister."
"I'm here, I'm here, let's go see the doctor, go see the doctor."
With tears in her eyes, Gongren called the maid: "Cuihe, please call Xiyi. Send the girl back to the Xiu Pavilion first, and call the female doctor to take a look at her."
After saying that, Kyouto walked up to the two maids and slapped them hard, making them retreat, and then turned to Li Shi.
She stood up angrily and pushed Li Shi with her hand, crying again and again: "Li Shi, Qing Ya is so old, you beat her like this, aren't you just holding on to my past memories? If you can't see I'm used to it, so I brought a piece of paper and Li Shu, and I immediately took Qingya back to my Wugu Lun home."
"What do you want..., do you think you still have the face to look back now?"
"How shameless, my brother certainly feels sorry for me. It's better than enduring the humiliation in your Li family!"
"absurd……"
While the two were arguing, Liang Xiyi hurried over and saw that she had a fair complexion and a slender figure. She was wearing a narrow-sleeved skirt with a waist and a pair of velvet boots. The dark red embroidered skirt had a long sword at the waist, and two small There is a red scarf wrapped around the bun, which looks like a martial arts practitioner.
She quickly walked into the house and looked at the tragic scene, her eyes suddenly turned red. She immediately stepped forward to help Qing Yalai up with both hands, and then took her back to the embroidery building with Cui He's support.
Xiao Xianke, with tears in her eyes, picked up Qingya's scattered pearl hairpins and followed them away.
Gongren watched the few people walk out with tears in his eyes, and turned to face Li Shi: "Qingya was born after ten months of hard work during my pregnancy, and you abused her like this. You have been extremely harsh on her since she was a child, either with a board or a whip, and now Are you going to beat her to death? Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
