The King's Concubine_The Masked Feast【Complete】(206)
Brother Yan, Xiaobao, Zhuzhu and Yueyue were playing in the flower garden in front of the theater, followed by several maids and women. Seeing Yu Chan watching from the side, Yao Niang left with great relief.
Princess He Qing chose a path to walk, and Yao Niang asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? I think you seem to be in a bad mood these few times?"
Princess Qing wanted to hide it at first, but she was probably depressed. She opened her lips, lowered her head and looked at the hem of her skirt: "She is pregnant again."
Pregnant? Yao Niang was surprised, until she saw the lonely look on Princess Qing's face, she hurriedly put it away.
"How long has it been, and that matter is over?" Yao Niang simply didn't know what to say. Prince Qing seemed to be a wise and powerful man, so why did he mess around like this?
Princess Qing smiled bitterly: "This is her usual method, pretending to be pitiful. She always has a way to win his sympathy. I used to lie to myself, the prince just sympathized with her and pitied her, not that he liked her. Now I Suddenly unsure..."
Yao Niang didn't know how to persuade her, so she could only say: "Don't overthink it."
"Fifth sister-in-law, I didn't think too much. I thought very clearly during this period. You probably don't know that I can't sleep all night long these days. I think about this every day. I wonder where I lost. What's wrong with me? But I gradually realized that I was thinking too much. It's natural for a man to have three wives and four concubines. The problem is that I was jealous before. Really, I was too. I want to be like you said, win over and refuse to give in, but I find it very difficult, especially after going through all the things before, and suddenly it is beyond recognition, and I feel so strange and cold..."
Yao Niang had the urge to cry.
She wished Princess Qing could cry rather than murmuring her thoughts in despair. What kind of disappointment can make a woman like a begonia suddenly wither and wither?
Yao Niang couldn't think of it. She tried to think about what if King Jin suddenly changed one day and was no longer what he was now. His cold tenderness was given to another woman. He and that woman did the most intimate thing she had ever done with him, and while saying the same words, that woman gave him a child...
She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and she could not help but shiver. She tried to let herself think about it and imagine what would happen to her. She felt that she would definitely go crazy, she would definitely go crazy.
After all, she was so fond of him that she wanted to dominate him and would not let anyone else.
Does she like King Jin?
Yes, she liked it, very early on.
"Seventh younger brother and sister, if you don't think about anything else, you should also think about Brother Yan and Zhuzhu." Yaoniang felt that her comfort was particularly weak. She even felt that she was shameless, because she couldn't be indifferent herself, so how could she ask for it? other people.
But other than this, is there any other way to go?
This world treats women so harshly. If an ordinary citizen's daughter-in-law takes a concubine, she can only watch helplessly, let alone the royal family. For the royal family, this is a matter of course and should be given priority to the reproduction of children. Even if there are fewer women around the prince, the superiors will take the initiative to reward a few.
Yao Niang has not forgotten that there are many women in the back house of Prince Jin's Mansion. Even if Prince Jin has never touched them, they are his concubines in name only.
This is a life-and-death war without a sword. She dominates, and others are destined to be left alone. If others don't want to be left alone, they have to fight. If she is defeated, others will come forward. After living two lifetimes, Yao Niang had a thorough understanding of the dispute over the back house for the first time.
Yao Niang was so flustered that she didn't want to think about it anymore.
After Princess Qing smiled faintly, she said, "I was just thinking about Brother Yan and Zhuzhu, otherwise I would have asked for them by now."
Just as he was talking, a maid suddenly came over hurriedly: "Princess, something happened to the young master, the young master."
Princess Qing's face suddenly turned pale.
Xiaobao and Brother Yan were playing with the little native dog named Doudou with their two little girls.
We were having a good time, but Brother Xuan, that skinny monkey, called a few people around his age to come here to play, and they played a game of officers and soldiers catching robbers. They roared in and roared away, each holding soft branches as swords in their hands. The bandits and the officers and soldiers were fighting in full swing.
When Xiaobao saw that it was getting more and more noisy, he wanted to move. After talking to Brother Yan and the others, the four of them took Doudou and planned to stay away.
Brother Xuan, the bandit who was walking to avoid the officers and soldiers, accidentally bumped into Brother Yan.
The two are about the same size, but brother Xuan is stronger and brother Yan is weaker. Brother Yan was knocked to the ground, and Brother Xuan was caught by the officers and soldiers behind him because he blocked him.
Brother Xuan is the last person in the bandit group. Catching him is considered a victory. Several brothers who were playing the role of officers and soldiers burst into cheers, while the bandit group complained that Brother Xuan was caught because he couldn't run. He was obviously the fastest runner.
Brother Xuan saw that he had lost and was being complained about like this again. At the same time, he remembered the revenge of being beaten in his previous life. His face turned red with anger. He dropped the branch in his hand and rushed towards Brother Yan.
"It's all your fault!"
As soon as they saw Brother Xuan fighting with someone, the bandit group, as well as the officers and soldiers nearby all clapped their hands in applause.
The maid next to her immediately wanted to come forward, but was scolded by one of the 'robbers': "Stand away, this is a battle that belongs to us men." Hey, he is a little kid, his hair has not even grown yet, but he knows how to do it. Fighting.
It was obvious that Brother Yan couldn't defeat Brother Xuan, so Xiaobao wanted to go up and help. Before he could go over, someone said that he was too weak to win with more and less. Xiaobao was too lazy to pay attention to these little brats and still wanted to step forward. Brother Xuan's accomplices in the bandit group rushed forward.
"Fight me if you want."
Boys seem to be particularly enthusiastic, especially when there are people nearby who are cheering and slapping them. They dare to do things that they usually didn't dare to do now. Yueyue and Zhuzhu were circling around anxiously, asking the maids to step forward to stop them. Several maids also wanted to step forward, but were deliberately blocked by the bandits and officers and soldiers, and while doing so, they scolded the slaves for disturbing the situation.
Yuchan was also watching, but it was not convenient for her to take action in this situation. If she did, her slaves would help beat the young master. And from what she saw, the little one who was fighting Xiaobao, the shortest and the fastest, was not the young master's hand.
The noise outside attracted attention inside, and the second floor where the men were sitting happened to be closest to here. An Wang and others came to the window together and looked down.
King An chuckled and said: "Lao Liu, your son is actually a demon king. Why is he fighting with others again?"
King Lu not only did not feel embarrassed, but instead looked proud: "This boy is very energetic. I plan to teach him martial arts in another year. But second brother, your statement is wrong. We fought like this when we were children. How can we take turns? Will my son become a demon king?"
This is true. These princes often fought together when they were young. As long as they didn't use weapons, no one would stop them. Emperor Hongjing would not let anyone stop him. If he could win, he would fight. If he could not win, he would be beaten. Because of this, several princes have good martial arts skills when they grow up.
Of course, except Yongwang, but Yongwang has been a thief since he was a child. He never takes the initiative to provoke his brothers and usually uses Yin.
So when An Wang and the others saw such a scene, instead of stopping them, they stood by the window and watched.
King Lu said to King Jin: "Fifth brother, the one in your family is still young, but he can fight with the one in fourth brother's family."
King Jin was too lazy to pay attention to King Lu.
King Lu was also used to King Jin's dead face, so he turned to provoke King Qing: "Lao Qi, I think your boy is no match for my boy."
No, Brother Yan is thin and Brother Xuan is strong. It seems that Brother Yan is several months older than Brother Xuan, but he is no match for Brother Xuan. Brother Xuan pinned him down, but Brother Yan could still fight back, but it was a bit difficult.
But Brother Yan was also stubborn, so he didn't cry.
Prince Qing smiled reluctantly, "This child has been thin and weak since he was a child. He is not as strong as Sixth Brother's family."
King Lu laughed and said, "Just be strong. You won't suffer any loss when fighting with others in the future."
King Lu's smile reminded King Qing of some things from his childhood. He and King Lu were the closest, and when he was young, King Lu pinned him down and beat him the most. My father didn't want anyone to interfere with him, so if my fifth brother wanted to help him, he could only watch from the sidelines.
He had been beaten many times, and each time he went back, he studied Kung Fu more diligently. Unfortunately, King Lu was extremely talented and was the most powerful martial arts among the princes except King Jin. While he was learning, the other party was also learning. Because he was not favored in the palace, the martial arts master did not teach him carefully, so he could never defeat King Lu.
Now his son can't beat King Lu's son. Brother Yan is obviously older than Brother Xuan.
Prince Qing felt disappointed. Brother Yan has been weak since he was a child. This is something he is born with and cannot be changed at all. He would like to have another son with Jirou, but unfortunately Jirou has been silent since giving birth to Zhuzhu.
Somehow he thought of Brother Sheng. That child was very strong since he was born. He's big and strong, he's only a little over a year old, and he's so skinny all day long that he can barely lift the roof of the house.
Concubine Han said that when Brother Sheng gets older, she will let him learn martial arts from her. Although Prince Qing did not respond, he was actually willing in his heart. He even thought about how to carefully train Brother Sheng more than once.
He knew that Jirou would definitely be unhappy again, but if Brother Yan hadn't failed to live up to his expectations...
Just when King Qing fell into a trance, a sudden sound of horror came from downstairs.
"Seeing blood..."
"The young master's head was smashed..."
Chapter 158
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Brother Yan finally turned over and pressed Brother Xuan under him, but he was not as strong as the other party and was knocked over. Brother Xuan's strength was too strong, but Brother Yan was not careful and fell down while hitting his head on the ground.
