After the noon meal, the procession once again returned to the pear blossom forest. After playing the game of throwing the pot, and calling for two more scenes, everyone started to bid their farewells.
Qu Qing Ju and Qin Bai Lu were naturally at odds with each other and naturally took this chance to bid farewell. Even Jin An Princess and Tian Luo shi also bid farewell.
Qin Bai Lu pretended to urge them to stay. Seeing that she didn't succeed, she followed a few steps. Who knew that after she took a few steps, she saw Duan Wang walk over. She slightly lowered her head and only saw the corner of Duan Wang's robe embroidered with cloud patterns and the dark boots of an official.
"Want to go home?" He Heng saw Qu Qing Ju walk out and knew that she wanted to return to the fu. He saw that Jin An Princess was also present and raised his hands to her.
Jin An Princess smiled and said: "Alright, alright, you don't have to be so courteous in front of me. I'll leave first, you don't have to send me off."
"Jiejie, take care." Qu Qing Ju bowed slightly. Jin An Princess returned the bow before holding her yahuan's hand to leave. She didn't want to be a third wheel.
Tian Luo shi naturally wouldn't stand there. After giving Qu Qing Ju a few words, she followed. Only Qu Qing Ju, He Heng, and He Yuan were left.
"It's still early, er ge and er sao should sit a while longer," He Yuan put his hands behind his back as he suggested, "Don't waste this beautiful spring scenery."
"I'm still here, how can it be a waste," He Heng held Qu Qing Ju's hand, "san di and san dimei don't have to send us off, we will bid farewell."
"If that's the case, we won't force you to stay. Take care." He Yuan raised his hands. Qin Bai Lu, who had been silent at the side, also bowed. She raised her head and saw that Qu Qing Ju's hand was being held by Duan Wang as they walked away step by step.
She suddenly remembered the first time she saw Qu Qing Ju, it was at the gates of the Imperial Palace. At that time, it had been like this. Duan Wang and Qu Qing Ju's fingers were intertwined, but she and He Yuan could never walk together.
It wasn't until the backs of the two could no longer be seen that she took her gaze away. Looking at the man two steps away from her, she suddenly felt tired. Rubbing her forehead, she said: "Wang ye, I'm slightly tired. I want to return to zhengyuan to rest."
He Yuan nodded expressionlessly. Thinking of what had happened at the banquet, his mood was not good. He didn't want to see Qin Bai Lu like this. "Go, don't wait for me tonight."
Qin Bai Lu sneered. She had not waited for him since a long time ago. A man who was destined to never come, why should she seek trouble for herself?
The news of Duan Wang politely rejecting the beauty was spread out. Many people praised the deep love between Duan Wang and Duan Wang Fei. Duan Wang's reputation among the womenfolk rose by a large amount. He almost became the standard for noble women to choose husbands.
Qu Qing Ju heard the discussion outside and couldn't help but find it funny. She listened as Huang Yang and Jin Zhan vividly acted out the rumors outside. She couldn't help but open: "Based on what you guys are saying, I'm not a person. It's just a rumor, but you guys took it seriously."
"Wang fei, let the two of them have fun. Otherwise, they will suffocate," Mu Jin took out a cushion and put it behind Qu Qing Ju so she could sit more comfortably, "This time, when wang fei left, Rui Wang Fei's expression wasn't very good. Nubi saw that she was very dissatisfied with you."
"Our positions are different. No matter what I do, she will be dissatisfied," Qu Qing Ju thought of Qin Bai Lu's actions and actions at the banquet and furrowed her brows, "Maybe it's because Qu Yue Su entered Rui Wang Fu. She has hatred and even hates me."
Mu Jin heard this and thought of the path san xiaojie had chosen. She couldn't help but sigh: "No one would have thought san xiaojie would do this. Nubi thinks that Rui Wang Fu isn't a good place to go." When she finished speaking, she instantly reacted. She shouldn't have said that. She bowed and apologized, "Nubi spoke nonsense, wang fei, please forgive me."
"You don't have to be so formal," Qu Qing Ju said, "You have a steady personality. I believe that it was just a slip of the tongue."
Mu Jin heard wang fei say this and became even more wary. She reminded herself to not slip of the tongue in the future. It was fine if there wasn't anyone else here. If there was someone else, wouldn't it mean that wang fei didn't teach her well?
"Wang fei, Luo yiniang asks for an audience." Yu Zan walked in. Seeing Mu Jin jiejie's expression wasn't right, she lowered her voice to say, "Nubi sees that Luo yiniang's mood isn't very good."
"Let her come in," Qu Qing Ju thought. She didn't plan on changing places to receive Luo shi. A short while later, she saw Luo shi obediently walk in.
When Luo Yin Xiu entered the room, she knelt before speaking. Qu Qing Ju hurriedly let the servants help her up, "What are you doing, Mu Jin, quickly help Luo yiniang sit."
"Nubi shouldn't have come to see wang fei like this. But nubi is grateful for wang fei's benevolence," Luo Yin Xiu's eyes were red, "nubi really has nothing to repay you with and can only bow to express my gratitude."
"It is already a great pain for a child to want to be raised but his parents are not present. We, as females, cannot serve in front of the elders who raised us. If we can't even see them one last time, how can we face them in a hundred years?" Qu Qing Ju sighed. Even though the status of men and women here was like the Han and Tang, but in the end, men were the heavens and women were the vassals of men. Occasionally, women were strong, but they relied on the power of their paternal family. It was fine for a princess to not want a fuma, but would an empress dare not want an emperor?
In this world, men and women were always unfair. She stood and patted the back of Luo Yin Xiu's hand, "You don't have to think too much right now. Go back and have a good sleep. I already understand your intentions." She saw that the color of Luo Yin Xiu's clothing was very light and knew that she wanted to observe mourning for her jiujiu. She didn't have any objections.
Luo Yin Xiu wiped away her tears. She stood and bowed to her: "Nubi thanks wang fei." Originally, she had thought that the present wang fei was arrogant and wouldn't pay attention to a useless person like her. She hadn't thought that she would help her and even say such comforting words.
She was just a shiqie that could be sent away at will. For wang fei to treat her like this, it was her good fortune to have married into this wang fu. If she met a slightly more powerful woman, she wouldn't even be able to wear plain clothing, much less go back to her jiujiu's home for the funeral.
Coming out of zhengyuan, Luo Yin Xiu held a yahuan's hand. Wiping her tears, she said: "Shu Wen, remember wang fei's favor today. Even if I can't repay it in this lifetime, I will remember it well."
The yahuan called Shu Wen carefully supported her and said in a low voice: "Zhuzi, I feel that wang fei treats people very well, not like what Feng yiniang said."
"Feng yiniang was asking for it," Luo Yin Xiu's expression had recovered. Crying in a place like this, it was just letting others laugh at her.
"How can a qie go and shake the dignity of the mistress?" Luo Yin Xiu thought about what Feng Zi Jin had done in the past, "Three years ago, she was chosen to enter the palace as a female candidate. Because her status wasn't high enough, she was bestowed by Jing guifei to His Highness to be a servant. His Highness was able to give her a title, so she should treasure it. Now that it has become like this, even His Highness' affection has been lost. This is not worth it."
Shu Wen nodded. She looked around. Seeing no one else, she carefully said: "Nubi feels that wang fei is prettier than Feng yiniang. Wang ye is right to like wang fei and not Feng yiniang."
"What does a yahuan like you know? In the future, you can't mention these words," Luo Yin Xiu's face darkened, "Go, go back and help me change."
"Yes," Shu Wen embarrassedly lowered her head and didn't dare to speak again.
He Heng had already returned to the Royal Court but after he heard the decree fuhuang had just given, he couldn't help but furrow his brows. Letting lao san take the decree to reprimand lao da. What was the meaning of this decree? Was it resentment of lao da for not living up to expectations, or was it to let lao san vent?
This conduct was too preposterous. He raised his head to look at Qing De Emperor. Stepping forward, he raised his hands and asked: "Fuhuang, er chen thinks that since da ge has already regretted his actions in Bright Moon Tower, it means that da ge knows his wrongs. Fuhuang, why don't you give da ge a chance?"
"Heng'er, lao da tried to assassinate you. You're still pleading for him?" Qing De Emperor looked at his second son, his face surprised and displeased.
Thinking about the letter that lao da had sent to him, explaining that he hadn't tried to assassinate him, and that he seemed to have intentions of surrendering, He Heng knew that even though lao da was imprisoned, he and lao san were in a state where one of them had to die.
"It's not that er chen wants to plead for da ge, but since it has happened, da ge has always admired fuhuang. If fuhuang continues to scold him, er chen is worried that da ge's body won't be able to endure it. Your eldest grandson is only three years old, how can he lose his father?" He Heng's tone was sincere, "Fuhuang, how can you bear the pain of losing a son?"
I said you couldn't bear for your son to die, can you say you could bear it?
It was clear that Qing De Emperor was very happy with these words. His eldest son wouldn't be able to eat or sleep because of his scolding. If he really died because of this, as a father, he would feel heartache. So he nodded, replying: "If that's the case, then as you say, I won't send another decree to scold him. Zhen will send a few more books over so he can read and write, cultivate his body and mind."
"Fuhuang is benevolent and wise." He Heng's face was moved and filled with admiration as he knelt down.
He Yuan tilted his head to look at this scene, his face dark as he thought, when would He Heng's mouth become more clumsy?
The court officials standing at the back also knelt down and shouted for the Emperor's benevolence, causing Qing De Emperor to smile. He praised He Heng a few more times, showing his benevolent fatherly side before the court dismissed.
After the court, He Heng coincidentally walked together with Minister Luo Chang Qing. After Luo Chang Qing bowed, He Heng said: "In a few days, it will be your daughter's wedding day. Ben wang congratulates Luo daren first."
Luo Chang Qing raised his hands and smiled, replying: "Wang ye is too polite. Many thanks, wang ye."
This form of address, even the title in front was omitted. It was much more intimate than before.
