The Eldest Princess had suddenly returned to Jing. As Qu Qing Ju had predicted, something had happened in between. In reality, it wasn't anything unexpected. It was just that the Count of Bei Lu, who had always been a good man, suddenly fell in love with the daughter of a minor official and even took the person back to his fu. What kind of person was the Eldest Princess? She didn't argue with him and directly sent the woman home. Who knew that the Count of Bei Lu was so angry he placed the person in as a mistress.
After the Eldest Princess learned of the matter, she took people and smashed the residence of the Count of Bei Lu before taking her children back to Jing. As to what happened to the Count of Bei Lu, the Eldest Princess didn't care at all.
After Qu Qing Ju finished listening to the events, she sighed: "The so-called deep love between husband and wife, it's just so." The reason the Eldest Princess could have such boldness was largely because she was the daughter of the Emperor, the Eldest Princess of noble birth. If other women encountered such a thing and left, who would get justice for them?
After Jin Zhan finished narrating the events, she said in a small voice: "Nubi also heard that the Emperor and Empress already know of this matter. The Emperor is very angry and has already decreed for the Count of Bei Lu to come to Jing."
A man like the Count of Bei Lu, he wasn't truly deeply in love. He was only hindered by the status of the Eldest Princess and hadn't met a woman that moved him. Now that he met a young and tender girl, he forgot his wife, forgot his children, and forgot his own identity. Actually, this kind of man, what difference was there between him and those men who flirted with other women?
After He Heng came down from court, his expression wasn't good. It seemed that he knew what had happened at the Eldest Princess's fu.
"The day after tomorrow, go to the Eldest Princess's fu. Spend more time with her," When He Heng said this, he sighed, "This Count of Bei Lu is really too outrageous."
Qu Qing Ju pretended not to know: "What is it?"
He Heng paused for a moment before replying: "He failed to live up to the Eldest Princess's intentions. Fuhuang has already summoned him back to Jing."
Knowing that he didn't want to talk about this matter in detail, Qu Qing Ju smiled and said: "It's getting late, let's eat dinner."
He Heng looked outside and nodded: "It's getting late. After eating, I'll take you to see the lanterns." He was still thinking about this matter, and he didn't want to use other people's matters to affect the mood between the two of them, so he said, "There are many people at night, so I had someone prepare a veil for you. It's good to go out for a walk."
Qu Qing Ju gave a smile: "Then let's hurry and use it. I still need to go change." The one she was wearing was beautiful, but it was a floor-length dress. It wasn't very suitable for going out.
Knowing that she wanted to go out, He Heng smiled and said: "Alright." He turned to wash his hands and prepared to eat.
The meal started with a small bowl of yuanxiao. Qu Qing Ju ate half a bowl and then ate something else. She started to rinse her mouth and wash her hands. When He Heng put down his chopsticks, she stood to go to the inner room to change.
Holding a cup of digestive tea, the smile on He Heng's face deepened. Looking at the darkening sky outside, He Heng ordered Qian Chang Xin to bring people to set up the carriage.
Qu Qing Ju changed into a jade-green girdled dress, and tied her hair into a bun. Walking out, she saw He Heng sitting at the side drinking tea. She went forward and asked: "What does wang ye think of me like this?"
He Heng saw that she was wearing a jade-green girdled dress. It was different from her usual indolence. This time, she had more of a youthful charm, like a tender flower bud, water would come out with a pinch.
"Very good," He Heng went forward to hold her hand. Let's go, it's about to start. "
After sitting on the carriage for a while, they found that the noise on the street increased, as though they had entered a crowded area. However, no one blocked the carriage. Even though the carriage they were sitting on didn't have the insignia of the wang fu, but to be able to sit on a two-horse carriage, how could the status be low?
After the carriage moved forward for a while, it stopped. He Heng handed the veil to Qu Qing Ju, "We're almost at the riverside. Come off with me." Finishing, he got off the carriage first and held out a hand to her.
Qu Qing Ju gave her hand to him and allowed him to help her down the carriage. She didn't know what the veil was made of. Even though the things outside seemed to be separated by a thin layer of mist, they could still see clearly. Her hand was held by He Heng, tucked into the other's wide sleeve. There was a bit of the feeling of first love coming out for a stroll. But Qu Qing Ju was very clear that she wasn't a pure little girl, and the other wasn't a youth still in love.
At this time, the two sides of the riverside were filled with beautiful lanterns. There were also some stall owners that hung lanterns for people to spend some money to guess character riddles. Those who guessed correctly would receive a lantern as a gift.
Behind the two of them were taijian and guards in plain clothes. They didn't let the two of them be squeezed. Walking through the bustling crowd, Qu Qing Ju saw people holding lanterns and releasing them by the riverside. She also saw some children running around with animal lanterns. In this instant, her mood became very good.
"What is it that always says it's coming, but never actually arrives?"
"Wind?"
"Clouds?"
Qu Qing Ju heard the conversation and couldn't help but laugh. He Heng saw her laugh happily and asked, "What, does Qing Ju know?"
If this was in her previous life, it would be a brain teaser question on a primary school student's winter vacation homework.
"Of course I know," She turned back to look at the person still guessing, "It's tomorrow."
Hearing this answer, He Heng couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, "It really is tomorrow." Behind him, he pulled on the gauze hat for Qu Qing Ju to wear it more securely before commenting, "Qing Ju is very intelligent." Finishing, he pulled her in front of a stall.
"Which one do you like?" He pointed at the lanterns that were hung.
Qu Qing Ju looked over and pointed at the moon rabbit lantern, commenting: "That rabbit is very cute."
He Heng motioned for the stall owner to take down the moon rabbit lantern. He examined the sign hanging on the lantern. It was the first half of a couplet and asked for the second half.
Seeing this, Qian Chang Xin hurriedly gave money to the stall owner so that his mistress could match this couplet.
"The rabbit's soul connects to the silver sea … …" Qu Qing Ju recited the first half. She wasn't skilled at this and didn't know if He Heng could match it. She prepared to look at the other lanterns that were hung.
"Ao Shan receives Zi Wei." Who knew that before Qu Qing Ju could clearly see what was hanging on the nearest lantern, she heard He Heng say the second half. She raised an eyebrow and then smiled, commenting: "So strong."
"It's just a simple couplet," He Heng took the moon rabbit lantern from the stall owner's hands and gave it to Qu Qing Ju, "For you."
Taking the lantern, Qu Qing Ju lifted it up to examine it closely before replying: "Thank you wang ye."
Seeing that Qu Qing Ju liked the lantern, the smile on He Heng's face became even more obvious. But after he walked a few steps, the smile on his face became unnatural.
Because he saw He Yuan walking in this direction. There was a woman beside him. But she was wearing a gauze hat so people couldn't see her appearance.
Clearly, He Yuan also saw him. The two brothers paused in their steps before they walked closer to each other.
"Er ge." He Yuan's gaze swept to the side beside He Heng. He took his gaze back and said: "Er ge is in a good mood today."
"San di is the same," He Heng carelessly moved to the side and managed to cover half of Qu Qing Ju's body behind him.
"Greetings to Duan Wang, Duan Wang Fei." At this time, the woman beside He Yuan spoke.
Qu Qing Ju's eyebrow that was hidden behind the gauze hat rose. She paused before asking: "San mei?"
Why was Qu Yue Su walking together with He Yuan? What did the people of Chang De Gong Fu want to do?!
