Because it was a snowy day, even though the sedan carriers were very careful, Qu Qing Ju still felt the sedan under her swaying slightly. She wanted to raise the curtain to look outside, but she remembered that He Heng was still sitting next to her. In the end, she only smiled and asked, "Why did wang ye come?"
"I took care of some matters in the morning and happened to pass by. Thinking that you were at san di's fu, I decided to wait to go back with you," He Heng raised a hand to lift the curtain to look outside. The snow was heavy and there weren't many people on the road, "The snow is getting heavier. In the future, don't go out in this kind of weather."
"Who wants to waste time in this kind of weather," Qu Qing Ju smiled as she glanced at him, "But because it was the first time san dimei sent an invitation, it wasn't good to reject her so I had to make this trip."
He Heng saw that her expression was slightly unhappy and smiled. He patted the back of her hand: "What unhappy matter was there at the banquet?" He Yuan's wang fei, Qin shi, she should have come from a scholarly family, right?
Would it make you happy if I said it? Qu Qing Ju slapped his hand: "Don't mention it. Our good dimei laughed at qie for not being filial to her stepmother."
Surprised by Qu Qing Ju's slap, He Heng looked at the back of his hand that had been hit. He felt that place was slightly itchy. He moved his finger and raised an eyebrow: "Her dimei is saying such things, you don't have to pay attention to it. That Liang shi isn't worthy of your filial piety. As a stepmother, she isn't benevolent and wants people to be filial to her. She doesn't even look at herself in the mirror. "He looked down on the family of Chang De Gong Fu and didn't have any good feelings towards Liang shi. Right now, Qu Qing Ju was his di wife, the wang fei of a dynasty. She was just a little duke's furen, did she want to show off in front of wang fei?
This Chang De Gong Fu had slighted Qu Qing Ju, that was looking down on him. He, a wang ye, couldn't be looked down on by this family. Who was she!
Sensing the other's emotions, the smile on Qu Qing Ju's face became slightly better: "Wang ye, don't be angry. You care for me, I understand."
Hearing Qu Qing Ju use "I" in front of him, He Heng didn't feel disrespected. He felt that Qu Qing Ju was becoming closer to him. He raised his head and saw the starry eyes of the other party, as well as the touched expression on her face.
His heart stirred slightly. He suddenly felt that they seemed to be on good terms before. This woman was his wife, a woman who would accompany him to the end of his life. If they were to treat each other with respect, it would be too boring.
"That's enough to hurt you?" He Heng's smile softened, "I know you don't like going to that Chang De Gong Fu. In the future, you don't have to worry about the people in that fu. I'm here for everything."
Qu Qing Ju tilted her head to look at him. Then as he was stunned, she suddenly buried her head into his embrace: "Wang ye, you will make me bad like this."
"As long as this prince's woman is good to me, it's fine. If she treats others badly, so be it." The corner of He Heng's mouth rose slightly. He unconsciously reached out to carefully hold her waist to prevent Qu Qing Ju from accidentally falling.
Lying on He Heng's chest, Qu Qing Ju thought, it was fortunate that she had seen many men coax women. Otherwise, with He Heng's methods, she would have jumped into the pit a long time ago. Look at this behavior, this speech, it was the representative of the affectionate faction.
Just at this time, the sedan suddenly swayed. He Heng hurriedly reached out with both hands to protect Qu Qing Ju. His body leaned back, avoiding the window where it would be easy to attack. Then he pushed the other down onto his knees and asked in a deep voice: "What happened?"
"Wang ye, there are people blocking the road ahead," Outside the curtain, Qian Chang Xin watched the spectacle of a hoodlum chasing a beauty. He bowed and reported, "There are several people chasing a woman in front." His tone was relaxed but the position he was standing in was blocking the entrance of the sedan. The other guards also had their hands on the hilts of their swords.
Hearing this, Qu Qing Ju twisted her body. He Heng reached out with two fingers to poke at her head.
Seeing Qu Qing Ju stare with wide eyes at him, He Heng smiled at her before looking at the curtain, ordering: "Clear the road."
The large men chasing saw the situation and had already stopped and retreated to one side. They hated the bad luck of the brothers to encounter a noble on an eight-person sedan in such a snowy day.
Hearing the noble speak, they obediently knelt at one side, afraid that the noble would make trouble for them because of their actions.
The woman running at the front saw the situation and her eyes lit up. With a bang, she knelt two zhang away from the sedan, "Daren, please, daren, save this common girl. These bad people want to capture this common girl to be a concubine of a member of the house. Please, daren, save this common girl. "
How could they encounter something as stupid as kidnapping a common girl? Qu Qing Ju changed to a more comfortable position to lean against He Heng's thigh. She smiled lightly, asking: "In the icy snow, a helpless and pitiful woman begging for help. Does wang ye want to be the hero that saves the beauty?"
He Heng saw her smile mischievously and reached out with a forefinger to stroke the corner of her lips: "The beauty is already in my arms, where else would there be a beauty?"
Opening her mouth to bite that forefinger, Qu Qing Ju used her teeth to grind before snorting: "Who knows if that little beauty's pitiful appearance would move someone?"
He Heng very enjoyed Qu Qing Ju's petite appearance and laughed lightly, "This jealousy is really endless. A strange commoner girl, I wouldn't even want her to come to the wang fu to be a servant, how can I serve?"
Standing outside, Qian Chang Xin silently turned his head to the other side, pretending that he couldn't hear the movements inside the sedan. He glanced at the girl who was kneeling on the ground. She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. Her hair was a little messy from running, but when matched with her fair and delicate face, she really looked delicate and pitiful. She was wearing a water-blue cotton dress that wasn't too thick. She looked quite pretty. When his gaze swept across the hand that was half hidden in the sleeve, his face darkened as he ordered: "Retreat. In front of wang ye, you can't be disrespectful." Finishing, he gave a look to the two guards beside him. The two guards directly walked forward, dragging the woman and throwing her to one side.
Not even looking at the woman covered in snow, Qian Chang Xin flicked his sleeve: "Lift the sedan!"
She had the nerve to use such an old-fashioned trick. Her clothes were normal but the workmanship was slightly more exquisite. And those fingers that were like spring onions, which normal girl didn't do some housework and could keep her hands so delicate? Did she think his grandpa Qian was blind?
After the sedan continued to travel a certain distance, He Heng finally allowed Qu Qing Ju to sit up. He smiled wryly as he commented: "I don't know who gave me such a good gift, but this gift doesn't look good."
Hearing the meaning in He Heng's words, Qu Qing Ju asked in return: "How can you be sure that it was someone else who gave the gift, and not this girl who wanted to give it to herself?"
"Too well prepared. There can't be such coincidences in the world. If it was a normal person, they would have hidden to one side. They wouldn't be so close to the sedan, "He Heng's smile was slightly cold.
"This person underestimates wang ye too much." Qu Qing Ju understood that there weren't that many scenes of a hero saving a beauty in this world. It wasn't a television drama. No wonder He Heng would be on his guard. He wasn't a lecher. This person that suddenly charged out, naturally he had to be careful.
"Oh?" Looking at Qu Qing Ju's disdainful expression, He Heng smiled again. Turning his head, he opened the curtain. Looking at the fluttering snow outside, he suddenly felt that this fluttering snow had some flavor.
The two returned to the wang fu. After eating the evening meal, they slept early. As to this little interlude, Qu Qing Ju was too lazy to care about it. He Heng didn't mention it again.
On the morning of the second day, the snow had stopped but the accumulated snow hadn't melted. It was even colder than when it had snowed. He Heng stood in the Great Hall, listening to the officials of the court argue about the examinations next spring. There wasn't any expression on his face.
The subordinates of He Qi and He Yuan all wanted to recommend people on their side to be the examiner. Spittle flew, quoting from the classics. It could be seen how nimble the mouth of the literati was.
Sitting at the front, Qing De Emperor had a headache from the arguing of the people below. Seeing that He Heng hadn't spoken, he asked: "Duan Wang, what do you think?"
Being called out by the Emperor, He Heng stepped forward, raising his hands in a fist as he replied: "Fuhuang, the daren's words are all reasonable. But er chen feels that there are two other people who can take on this heavy responsibility."
"There's no harm in speaking." Qing De Emperor looked at his eldest son and third son before returning his gaze to He Heng.
"Based on er chen's view, the Minister of War Luo daren and Great Scholar Lu can take on this heavy responsibility. Both daren were ranked first in the past. Their conduct is also upright, steady and magnanimous. If the two daren can be examiners, it would be perfect." He Heng wouldn't be so dumb as to fight for the position of examiner at this time. Right now, fuhuang was old and was wary of his young sons. It was better for him to recommend two of fuhuang's old officials to avoid trouble.
When He Qi and He Yuan heard this, they both looked at He Heng. What did lao er mean?
Qing De Emperor's expression softened slightly, as though he had heard the answer he wanted. His finger tapped the armrest of the dragon chair: "This matter will be discussed later. Court dismissed."
Everyone knew that the Emperor had made a decision. They all shouted "Long Live the Emperor" three times as they sent him off. After the Emperor left, they slowly stood and left in groups.
"Er ge has good intentions," He Yuan had already understood He Heng's intentions. He smiled wryly as he walked next to He Heng and walked shoulder to shoulder with him, "But didi heard that Luo daren's daughter is er sao's jiumu. Er sao and this jiumu have a deep relationship. Is that true?"
He Heng's steps paused. He smiled at He Yuan: "Yu xiong doesn't know, when did didi become interested in the affairs of the family. Matters of women's families, let the women worry about them. Yu xiong doesn't care about that."
Hearing the disdain in He Heng's words, He Yuan's expression became slightly ugly. He had always looked down on He Heng's fake smile. He sneered: "Er ge's words are wrong. Husband and wife are one, caring for each other is the right thing to do. There's no need to differentiate between male and female."
"Yu xiong naturally knows this," He Heng's smile became even gentler, "But didi, you don't know."
He Yuan snorted. He turned his head and saw lao da walking towards them. Instantly, his face darkened.
