Bend Over [ 折腰 ] - Chapter 113

[Chapter 111 28]

The next day, Xiao Qiao received a letter of greeting from Emperor Su’e. Saying that she went south to Luoyang, passing through Jinyang, learning that Xiao Qiao was also here, surprised, and specially posted to come to visit.

ChunNiang said, “Lady Junyou don’t have to pay attention to it.”

Little Joe said, “I’m fine too.” Since she came and voted for the prayer, it would not hurt to meet.

ChunNiang was stunned, quietly looked at Xiao Qiao, saw her smiling, looked as usual, and turned around and went out to talk back.

After Chunniang left, Xiao Qiao abandoned yesterday’s half-written reply. After rewriting a letter, after talking about his recent situation in the letter, he also said in a ridiculous tone, Meng Fujun had me in his dreams every night, and he was very honored, and in his barbaric dreams, how dare there be other Lang Jun?

At the end of the letter, she added another stroke: Wen Liu Su’s Zuo Feng Yi Duchess Yu also arrived in Jinyang not long ago. Coming from afar, and knowing that Fujun and Liu Sushi have old friendships, they dare not be sloppy, and I wish to do my best to receive fujun. The husband can rest assured that he does not have to worry about it.

After writing the letter, when the ink was dry, she rolled it up and put it in the letterbox, and asked the messenger who came yesterday to take her on the road.

……

Xiao Qiao met Emperor Su’e, who had come to visit, in a side hall in the back of the mansion.

After the Luli Conference at the end of last year, Emperor Su’e left Yuyang, and nearly a year later, she still looked like Xiao Qiao’s memory, dressed in beautiful clothes, very stylish, and her demeanor also looked excellent.

As soon as I saw Little Joe, I first praised Little Joe’s beauty and style better than before. Laughing, he said, “Why do you know why I keep calling Lady Junjun my sister?” In addition to my relatives with the old lady, hours and Zhonglin have contacts, is the reason why you are close, but also I grew up to see other people’s homes, A sister A sister out of the same tour, into the inner copa, intimate, has been yearning, but I am the only daughter in my family, inevitably regret. Seeing my sister so out of the ordinary, I was envious, and I was a few years older than my sister, so I raised myself and screamed, my sister wouldn’t laugh at me, right?

Little Joe invited her to sit down and smiled, “Why does Madame have to be so humble?” The beautiful name of Lady Yulou, who in the world does not know? I was no more than a housewife, who had been in Yuyang before, and was busy feeding trivialities and serving the old lady and my mother-in-law all day. When I arrived here, I only knew that I was dedicated to serving my husband, and I didn’t know anything next to me, so how could I afford to be so overflowing with the lady? As for calling me why, some small things, as the lady wishes, but a title, why a joke?
Emperor
Su’e looked at Xiao Qiao, still with a smile on her face, but her smile was slightly delayed.

……

Last year, in ZhongshanGuo, she met Qiao Nu for the first time. Although the two have met several times so far, every time there is Lady Xu nearby.

Emperor Su’e noticed that Qiao Nu was silent most of the time, and there was very little dialogue with herself.

It was in these few brief encounters that Emperor Su’e secretly estimated Wei Shao, the wife who had married the Qiao family in Yanzhou.

Young, beautiful, Mrs. Xu likes her, which is the biggest advantage of Qiao Nu.

Wei Shao had a bitter hatred for the Qiao family and had another purpose for marrying her. Qiao Nu herself has no sharpness to speak of, and her temperament is as warm as white water. She was like a shadow behind Madame Xu—these were all disadvantages for Qiao Nu.

Young and beautiful, Lady Xu liked her, which might allow Wei Shao to stay in Qiao Girl’s bed for a few more nights. But such a woman, Emperor Su’e did not believe that she could contain Wei Shao’s heart.

Besides, compared with the disadvantages of Qiao Nu, how many of her advantages could be weighed in Wei Shao’s mind?

Therefore, Emperor Su’e has always been very confident about his return.

From a few years ago, when she began to slowly refocus her gaze back on the late Wei Shao of her teenage years, she had also analyzed her strengths and weaknesses.

When she was a teenager, she abandoned him to marry another woman, and this year she is getting older, which is her disadvantage.

But she also had an advantage, and this advantage was unique and could not be possessed by others: how Wei Shao’s temperament was, what he liked, what he hated, no one knew better than her.

In the eyes of the world, Wei Shao’s cruel treatment of the enemy family was chilling.

But Emperor Su’e knew how sincere he was to the people who had entered his heart, and could not be separated.

No one knew better than she did the pain that his father’s death had brought him. It was because of the hurt of his dear love that he would cut his teeth to the point of the enemy.

Therefore, Emperor Su’e’s self-confidence is not without reason.

During the period when Wei Shao was twelve years old and experienced the change of her father and brother, and she herself was seriously injured and bedridden for half a year, it was she who had been taking care of him with all her heart and comforting him in every way.

With this kind of affection, the ten Joe girls cannot be compared with themselves.

What’s more, Emperor Su’e still remembers it clearly, and later she married Luoyang, and before leaving, she wanted to find an opportunity to say goodbye to him.

She had someone send him a message and ask him to come out to meet him.

Although Wei Shao did not attend the appointment at that time. But the fifteen-year-old boy asked her messenger to convey a word from him.

He said that only the blessings of man were endless.

Although there was only such a simple sentence, Emperor Su’e tasted countless juvenile thoughts from it.

Therefore, for this meeting with Qiao Nu today, Emperor Su’e has actually been preparing for a long time and has been looking forward to it for a long time.

Mrs. Xu, since she couldn’t hit a blow, she naturally wouldn’t be stupid enough to touch it again.

She could change course.

After waiting patiently for so long, she felt that the time was almost up and she had finally arrived here.

This time, she was going to face Wei Shao face to face. This time, it was also the first time that the Qiao daughter she and Wei Shao had married had met without Lady Xu’s presence.

It’s a battlefield. Like the battlefield of men, the final result is also the blood of the corpse, but the weapon is an invisible knife.

As soon as the opening scene, Emperor Su’e knew that she had hit a wall. Her opening remarks, which sounded kind but actually implied provocative, seemed ridiculous under the response of Qiao Nu.

What made Emperor Su’e feel even more wary was that for a moment, she couldn’t even see whether Qiao Nu’s response was a needle hidden in the cotton, or whether it was her natural thoughts.

For the first time, she felt that when she was called “sister” as Qiao Nu, she actually seemed a little stupid.

But now we can’t change our mouths.

Emperor Su’e’s heart flashed through countless thoughts, but his face did not show anything, and he continued to talk and laugh. After some gossip, he suddenly said, “Yesterday I also mentioned a sentence in my sister’s prayer post. I wanted to go south to Luoyang, passing through here, and I was very surprised to learn that my sister was also there. Thinking of not seeing it is inevitably rude, so it is disturbed by posting. I heard that Zhonglin is now in Pingxi. Yuyang arrived here, thousands of miles away, and her sister actually followed all the way to serve, and it was really Zhonglin’s blessing to be virtuous to this point. He was too busy with his own business to leave his sister here alone, which was inevitable to be lonely. It’s just that men are no better than our women’s Taoist families, and they can only see the sky above such a yard in their eyes. Moreover, Zhonglin I have known since I was a child, and I can also be regarded as a grown-up, knowing that he has high ambitions and is very accessible to people, and I am afraid that I have neglected the woman’s heart. Sister don’t blame him.

Chunniang smiled and said, “Madame is really sweet.” Originally, these things about the female and male monarchs in my family were not easy for the maid to tell outsiders. Since madame is not an outsider, the maid will say two more words, so that madame can rest assured. The lady probably did not know that my lady was different from the woman next to me. sideWomen, all eager to stick to the side of their own men at all times, are afraid that the fence at home is not well tied, and a wrong eye will call some shameless wild dog to drill in. My lady never wanted this. At the beginning of the year, the male monarch came to Jinyang, at first the female monarch was not willing to come with him, the male monarch had been on the road for a few days, and even rushed back in the middle of the night, and the female monarch was determined to accompany him. The female monarch then came with the male monarch. At this point, although the male prince was busy with the war, the messenger was constantly coming and going. Just yesterday, the male prince sent another letter. It is also funny to say that every time the messenger sends a letter, he must wait here, if there is no reply from the female monarch, he will not dare to go back, lest he return empty-handed and be reprimanded by the male monarch…”

“Chunniang! In front of Madame, what nonsense are you talking about!

Xiao Qiao frowned slightly, interrupting ChunNiang.

ChunNiang said busily: “The maid is afraid that Lady Liu is worried, so she has spoken more.” The didn’t say it. He closed his mouth.

Xiao Qiao looked at Emperor Su’e and smiled apologetically: “My nursing mother has a lot of mouths, so that My wife can see and laugh.”
Emperor
Su’e’s gaze slowly moved back from Chunniang’s face and smiled, “Where! Zhonglin and his sister are so affectionate that they envy others…”

…

When Emperor Su’e was sent out of the gate of the palace and got on the carriage back to the inn, his heart was pounding, and he was a little out of rhythm.

Her hands were also a little cold.

Although she was still smiling and smiling with Lady Qiao, her heart was a little confused.

The words that came out of that Chunniang’s mouth disturbed her mind.

Her original intention was to explore the reality of Qiao Nu again.

But I didn’t expect to get such a result.

The “wild dog” in Chunniang’s mouth alludes to her.

If there is no qiao girl to support, a subordinate person, even if she is the nursing mother of qiao girl, will never dare to say such a thing to herself.

It can be seen that Qiao Nu did not exist in the Wei family as she originally imagined, but only as the shadow of Lady Xu. She should also be aware of her desire to get close to Wei Shao.

That’s nothing. Emperor Su’e didn’t mind, and he knew that it was impossible to keep his purpose hidden.

What made her feel distracted was what came out of the nursing mother’s mouth about Wei Shao and Qiao Nu’s daily life.

Wei Shao might live in the same room with this Qiao girl and sleep in the same bed. But Emperor Su’e did not believe that Wei Shao would be so good as the daughter of the Enemy Family.

It must have been the nursing mother who had been instructed by her housewife to deliberately fabricate it in front of herself in order to make herself retreat.

On the way back, Emperor Su’e told herself this over and over again in her heart.

When the carriage stopped outside the gate of the inn, her original chaotic mood had gradually calmed down again.

As long as she could get close to Wei Shao, she would definitely have the opportunity to awaken the teenager in Wei Shao’s heart who had wished her endless blessings, and she was very confident.

“Tell the coach that I have a head attack and that I have to stay and recuperate.”

After entering the inn, Emperor Su’e coldly ordered the maid.

……

Three days ago, Wei Shao received a reply from Xiao Qiao.

Every time I read her letter, it was a very pleasant experience for Wei Shao, who was experiencing one sword and light blood shadow war after another. To this end, he even specifically referred to a messenger, which was used only to transmit private letters between himself and her.

This is the secret of the prince, and even Gongsun Yang does not know it.

Wei Shao always felt that her letters were too short. It didn’t take a few looks. So I can’t bear to read it every time. Always read one paragraph, reminisce about it, and then look at the next paragraph.

The same is true this time.

At that time, he carried people on his back, paragraph by paragraph, and slowly read it, reading that Xiao Qiao said, “Meng Fujun has me in his dreams every night, and he is very honored, and in his barbaric dreams, how dare there be other Lang Jun?” At that time, Wei Shao was quite proud, and the playful appearance of when she said this seemed to appear in front of her eyes, and the corners of her lips were slightly ticked.

He continued to look, and when he saw the end, his eyes suddenly froze.

Su Shi came to Jinyang? What does she want to do? Brute should not be cranky, right?

In his mind, three thoughts immediately popped up in succession.
