Chapter 283 Irony

Zhao Qian went to the front yard before going to see the beggar. Liu Caiying, the crown princess, greeted her in a hurry. When the maidservants heard the news, they also moved, combed their hair and tied their buns, adjusted their rouge and gouache, and their faces were even. Those who looked in the mirror and changed their clothes became a mess into a pot of porridge. When they heard Zhao Qian say, "Just a few words and leave", they were afraid that they would be one step late, and the prince had no time to see themselves, so they didn't care whether the makeup was neat or not. Some were wearing shoes, some had loose hair, some were loose clothes, some eye shadows were not outlined in shape, and some hairpins were piled with clouds... Regardless of it, he surrounded Zhao Qian tightly and could hardly penetrate the wind.

"Prince, it's not easy for you to show up, why are you leaving again?"

"I miss you so much, prince, can't you sit in Weng Yuge for a while?"

"Prince, where are you going? Can you take my concubine with you? Whether it's hard or tired, my concubines are willing to take care of the prince!" It was Silan who said this.

......

Si Luan's words were as crisp as a warbler and considerate as a hot spring. As soon as they came out, they caused a mixture of disdainful attacks: "I was born humble, and I don't have no shame to speak!"

"It's worthy of coming from Ganlinyuan! Humei's ability is extraordinary! Unfortunately, I only learned a fur and had the ability, just like the one in the Pearl Hall, which fascinated the prince and was pregnant with an emperor's heir!"

"Since you are willing to endure hardships and fatigue, why don't you serve the prince in Ganlinyuan and come here to make people hate?"

"I heard that there were two people who were favored by the prince in Ganlin Courtyard. One tried his best to squeeze into the front yard, but was left behind by the prince. The other was willing to live in Ganlin Courtyard but became the prince's heart and soul. Finally, he lived in the most pleasant water pavilion."

"Look at her bitch. I guess the prince likes her because of 'Xu Chuner'!"

Si Luan blushed and looked at the prince with tears in his eyes, as pitiful as a frightened deer.

The prince was upset. The joy he had won after a fierce defense with his father and mother just now was swept away. He frowned and said, "Don't shout! Wait two months at most, and the prince will lead the army to go on an expedition! You don't let me save money. What's the style of internal misery all day long? Looking at you like this, I want to kill the enemy all year round, and it's also clear in my ears!"

When the prince was angry, the women immediately silenced.

Liu Cai came slowly and said apologetically to Zhao Qian, "They are all my concubines who are not disciplined."

"It's good to know." The prince said, "You are the princess, and your words and deeds must be their example. You are dignified and steady, quiet and virtuous, and they naturally know the rules. Look at this situation, and you can see how it is edified on weekdays!"

Liu Caixian's face showed a sadness, biting his lips, and his eyes swept at the concubines one by one, which was as sharp as a knife. Those concubines and maidservants couldn't help shrinking their necks.

After a pause, Liu Cai asked Zhao Qian in a soft voice, "Why do you suddenly want to take troops to war?"

"I have always subdued the world with martial arts. As the only successor to the throne, how can I not let the ministers be convinced?" Zhao Qiandao.

Liu Cai asked with concern, "But what did those old thieves who rely on old and rotten tongues say about you?"

Zhao Qian hummed, "There is no need for them to say more. I have something in my heart."

Although Liu Caiting couldn't help but feel angry and jealous when he saw the beggar, at this time, when he heard the prince say that he was going to war, all the anger subsided, leaving only worry and reluctance. Imagine that soon after, Zhao Qian did not return from a long battle. She seemed to be waiting anxiously for a year. What a difficult situation it would be. Now the daughter of the Pearl Hall is favored. Even if she is widowed, she can still see the prince from time to time. If she can't see her, what should she do?

Liu Cai's eyes were a little wet and asked the prince in a low voice, "Then... that beggar... can you let her go to war?"

Zhao Qian remembered Liu Cai's wild words in the Shenzhu Hall half a day ago, and he looked like a vicious look of putting the beggar in a desperate situation and making the begler's belly tight. Geng Jie couldn't be relieved. He said coldly, "Didn't you say that the witnesses from Yanlan City came? Aren't they going to make up a ridiculous identity for the beggar and make the beggar desperate? What can I do if I can't let go of the beggar? Won't the princess collude with Jia's treacherous wives? The prince put it down, shouldn't the princess be happier? Finally, the beggar had no one to support her anymore. It's easy to pull out the thorns in her eyes, isn't it?"

Liu Caiyan's face was snow-white and her lips said, "Why do you blame my concubine? Checking the identity of the beggar is the idea of the father and mother. How can my concubine participate in half of the opinion? It's just to let the prince know in his heart, just in case he won't be deceived. The beggar is pregnant with a child, and my concubine can't bear her and the child's suffering, but the overall situation is important. I hope her identity will not be like the rumors, so as not to be unimaginable consequences.

Zhao Qian stared at her as if to penetrate her: "What's wrong with the identity of a beggar? But I'm afraid that those evil intentions and evil spirits will be embarrassed and give her a strong life!"

Liu Cai's chest was a little weak and a little stuffy. She said, "What did the mother say?"

Zhao Qianmomo looked at her and raised the corners of her mouth and said, "My mother followed my father's intention in this matter. My father has promised me to set up a military order and come back from a decisive battle with Ye Mo. In order to inspire me, my father said that he would no longer investigate the life of the beggar and keep their mother and son safe. I will see the child born and do my duty as a father for a month before leaving.

Liu Cai's eyes were dull and she could not believe it: "Really?"

Zhao Qian asked, "Why didn't I ask for a fight?"

"So that's it..." Liu Cai felt that his whole face was twitching and couldn't squeeze a smile. She said quietly, "It turns out that the prince fought for her. Unexpectedly, her safety is the top priority, regardless of her own safety.

"A man should risk it once for the sake of his beloved woman." Zhao Qian's eyebrows are hard and cold: "Since I have such an opportunity, I will be willing to put on a robe for her. In exchange for my father's non-pursuit and even favoritism protection, which is the most reassuring thing for me.

The sour and bitter taste, like a vinegar bottle and a medicine bottle turned over and mixed together. Liu Cai stood there, trying his best to keep it straight like a pine, but the inside was slowly empty by insects and collapsed at a touch.

Zhao Qian didn't say anything else. He strode away from the group and walked out of the courtyard.

Liu Caiping suddenly said, "Don't you count the evidence of Jia's in Yanlan City? If the beggar is really the daughter of the Xue family, will he let the tiger go back to the mountain and ignore the hidden dangers? How can her child be born!"

Zhao Qian walked and said, "I believe her! No matter what her origin is, she and her children belong to the prince! It will never cause any subversion or harm to my dynasty!"

Zhao Qian's back is getting farther and farther away. Liu Cai tightened the almost slippery hair on her shoulders and trembled. Her heart was full of coldness, which made her unbearable. The bean-sized sweat oozed out of her hot forehead. Her body was soft and crooked, and her whole body collapsed on the noble concubine's chair.

"Princess! Princess!" One after another shouted, and Zhao Qian, who walked to the hanging flower gate, left without looking back.

————————————————————————

The beggar was talking and laughing with Xiu Gu and Nangong Zhili, guessing who made the portrait from Yanlan City, and how old she was. Zhao Qian happened to be here.

The relaxed and harmonious atmosphere in the room infected him. He couldn't help laughing and asked, "What are you talking about? Is it so lively? The joy is steaming, and I can smell it with my nose!"

The beggar said, "I'm guessing what my birthday is on the portrait. I never know my real date of birth, and they also want to see what they looked like when I was a child.

Zhao Qian helped her and said pitifully, "Sleep more and rest more, and don't always look for trouble. Can perjury be believed? What can be beautiful when you are a child is nothing more than extracting the once green childhood images from your current appearance. I can even draw this kind of painting, not to mention that it is not difficult for them to find a smart painter.

"I'm curious!" The beggar looked left and right and said, "Where are they? Let me come with the portrait."

Zhao Qian said, "I just went to see my parents. They said that they would no longer question your identity, let you relax and give birth to the emperor's health, and make sure that the mother and son are safe.

The beggar opened his eyes wide and said, "Wouldn't this live up to the busyness of Yanlan City's parents and officials? I'm about to satisfy my curiosity, but you brought me such bad news. I won't. I don't want to pay attention to Mr. and Mrs. Jia, but can you steal the portrait to feast my eyes?

"Portrait..." Zhao Qian said helplessly, "I'm afraid my father is in the pile of books."

"Can't you find it?" The beggar said sadly, "In order to make this painting, Mr. and Mrs. Jia didn't have a good New Year. They can't disappoint people like this! At least it's their painstaking efforts. Can you remind your father that he trusts me? I'm very happy. Can you return the portrait to them? ...Then the prince only needs to make a small calculation, and the portrait can be in my hands!"

Zhao Qian thought for a moment and said, "Okay, don't worry. Just wait."

Walking close to the bed with his own hands, Zhao Qian said, "The Jia couple are too unreliable. I guess I won't lose my life this time, and the official position will be difficult to protect. It's a great blessing to be a civilian.

The beggar was anxious: "Without credit and hard work, how can you fail? Who dares to reveal my identity when dealing with them so severely? I really want to know who my biological parents are, otherwise how cold it will be in this world alone.

It was originally a sarcastic sentence of a beggar. Zhao Qian was very distressed to hear it. One arm wrapped around her waist, and his palm gently rubbed her stomach through her clothes. He affectionately fell on her face and said, "How can it be lonely? Isn't the one in your belly and me depend on you for the rest of your life? When you are old, why is it cold to snuggle on the left and lean on the right?
