Chapter 79 Qi Che's Choice
If this is what you want, I will give it to you, and I can compensate you, that's all.
---Qi Che
Nothing in the world spreads faster and more widely than gossip. In addition, its power is also unbearable, especially some big people with face, who are afraid to avoid it, but these are not something they can avoid if they want to avoid, just like the current Hanlin Academy.
Since the last time Princess Li invited Cheng Shishi to the palace and Qi Che, all kinds of speculations have spread in the palace and even the whole capital at a strange speed like a plague. For such a thing, everyone went from initial surprise to later calmness. In fact, such a situation in the harem has long been not surprising. It's just that gossip is human nature, especially about palace secrets. Of course, it will be more attractive. As soon as the news comes out, there are different opinions.
Of course, the target objects are different, and the comments are naturally biased. For Qi Che, who has been famous for a long time, I don't think it has any impact. Not only that, but also more envious jokes. It's a matter of saying that once you accept the favor of the beauty, you will be blessed.
Shishi will not be so lucky without the process. First, she is not a romantic and unruly man, but a deep boudoir who is familiar with the three principles and five ordinary things. Such a matter of losing fame is related to a woman's innocence in life. Especially in such a family background, she is not afraid, but it must be difficult to live. The second is women's jealousy. Regardless of whether Cheng Shishi's move is forced or voluntary, regardless of what Cheng Shishi thinks, it is also a fact that his innocence is lost to Qi Che. Rice has become a cook and a royal family, and the future soaring Huang Tengda has aroused the jealousy of many young ladies. They can't say things like "climbing dragons and phoenixes" and "shameless"? Some points are indispensable.
In the current capital, the hot topic that has been hyped is Miss Shicheng, the daughter of the Hanlin bachelor's family. It seemed that he knew that rumors were going to flood this usually quiet mansion. After Cheng Shishi came back from work, he had been behind closed doors to thank guests, as if this really isolated everything in the outside world.
Besides, this usually elegant-faced bachelor, after hearing about his daughter, the old scholar, who has always been gentle, was furious and even more angry. In the past few days, he hasn't even gone to the early morning. Maybe at this time, he has no face to see his colleague. Cheng Shishi felt speechless to face his father, and his boudoir did not want to go out, and washed his face with tears all day long.
The huge mansion has fallen into a more secluded and quiet weirdness than usual. However, there are some things that some people can't be safe if you hide. Just because you don't look for him doesn't mean they won't take the initiative to pester you.

Cheng Shishi's face was quiet in the lily flowers. This slimming figure was without the demeanor of the past in this flower. Her face was haggard, and her eyes were pale. Even the flower was a little more delicate than her. It's not about color, it's about being angry.
"Miss, here are some cousins." Xi'er hurried over and looked at the stiff woman anxiously, full of worry. The young lady is like this. The group of young ladies don't let her go, and looking at their aggressive appearance, they are obviously here to pick the young lady's thorn. The young lady is hard enough. Why don't you let her go? However, she is a little girl. After all, she is humble in front of the group of unkind masters.
Unfortunately, Cheng Shishi looked at the lily in front of him, and his eyes were empty and godless, as if standing here was a soulless body. No sadness, no joy, no indifference.
"Yo, my cousin is still enjoying flowers with such a good interest. Fortunately, our sisters came all the way to think that you couldn't help comfort you."
"That's it."
The woman in pink makeup covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled. What she said just now was the first to provoke, and the subsequent women with heavy makeup also echoed. After saying that, I really couldn't see where to comfort him.
Cheng Shishi's stiff body has been slightly touched, but she still maintained her posture just now. She didn't even face them, let alone pay attention to them.
"Huh," the leading woman saw that Cheng Shishi did not pay attention to her at all, and her arrogant posture hummed disdain from her nose. The slightly raised Danfeng's eyes had a shrewdness, which flashed by in a flash.
He reached out and stroked the messy bun and approached leisurely. "Look at my cousin's appearance, I must not know what's going on outside." Slowly leaning down, he smelled the fragrance of flowers, and pulled his lips slightly. "Cousin, I don't know that in addition to being famous in Beijing, there is another one." Youyou said, looking extremely lazy, and the afterglow glanced at Cheng Shishi, who had not said anything from the beginning.
"Miss, how can you say that!" Xi'er beside him couldn't stand it anymore, and for a moment, he didn't care about his superiority and inferiority and retorted with one breath.
"Where did the unbred girl come from! The master speaks, do you, a bitch? Come on, give me a slap!" Since she can't help it, then take it out on her girl. She wants to see if she is really so tolerant!
"Bang!" The maid received the order from her master and simply took a sharp slap. Xi'er's left face had been raised. She stroked her cheeks, and her eyes were just stubborn to prevent it from falling, and she stared at the so-called cousin.
"Presumptuous, how dare you stare at me! Fight, keep fighting for me. I'm going to teach this wild girl a good lesson today!" The cousin was probably used to being good when she was a child. How could she tolerate the presumptuousness of a subordinate? In addition, she ate a closed door from Cheng Shishi, and even vented her anger on Xi'er.
In contrast, the other ladies present looked like they were watching a good show. It seemed that they were in the same camp as her. Of course, they had never thought of starting out for a girl.
Xi'er retreated in fear and shook her head.
"Did my cousin forget that this is my mansion?"
At this moment, Cheng Shishi, who had been silent, finally rescued Xi'er.
"Yo, my cousin used to be able to speak. I thought you had been hit and lost the ability to speak." Tang Wuyan turned around and smiled, saying how harsh it was.
"The girl is ignorant, her cousin can discipline herself, and her sister is worried." Cheng Shishi looked at her with a fearless face, with a faint expression, as if nothing could attract her waves.
After Cheng Shishi's words, the group of girls shrank back one by one. There was no other reason, and the Lord spoke. If she went on strong, the young lady would be fine. I'm afraid it was themselves who would suffer.
"If it's okay, cousin, please come back. I'm tired and want to rest." Cheng Shishi's expression was very cold, and her words were cold. The expulsion order was not polite at all, and it faintly emitted a chill, which seemed to make people not believe that there was only a delicate woman standing in front of them.
Tang Wuyan was stunned for a moment. She didn't seem to see the anger in the process. Then she raised her eyebrows and looked even more contemptuous. "My cousin has a bad temper," she laughed back and said, "I'm really curious. My cousin, you can still be at ease here when you have such a corrupt thing. Fortunately, my uncle is lying on the sick bed. If I see you so unrepentant..." As she spoke, her tone rose uncontrollably, as if she was very angry. "If I were you, I would have been ashamed to die, and I still survive until now? My cousin's courage is really commendable.
Xi'er, who was beside her, had been so angry that she trembling all over and almost fainted.
She accused Cheng Shishi of not loving herself and pulled her father in. Why doesn't she make people angry?
"Bang!"
The whole audience is silent. I looked at the scene in front of me incredulously.
Tang Wuyan's head twisted to one side due to external force, and between them, Qi Che, dressed in purple, hugged Cheng Shishi, but her eyes looked directly at the arrogant woman who had just been slapped by him.
"It is unrighteous to be his sister, but to be aggressive to his sister; it is disrespectful to speak out wildly and have no respect for his eyes; in the face of you, it is unfaithful to repeatedly provoke and be rude for ministers. How many heads do you have?
Qi Che's voice brought back everyone's thoughts. Everyone hurriedly knelt down. Tang Wuyan didn't care about the pain and saluted urgently, "See the Seventh Prince." Intermittently, I thought I was scared by Qi Che's palm and words.
"Your Highness misunderstood, the people's daughter is just--just to the poem--" After saying the word "poetry", she was immediately interrupted by Li Wei beside her, "Bold, how can the maiden name of the seven imperial concubines be called by you, a commoner!" He shouted harshly, and everyone was shocked again. Not afraid, but shocked: the seven imperial concubines?!
There have been a series of gasps off the field, and the eyes are focused on the beautiful man in purple. Even Cheng Shishi beside Qi Che is unbelievable. Looking at the consternation and puzzlement in Qi Che's eyes, it has long been in tears at that moment.
It seemed to feel the stiffness of the woman in her arms. Qi Che hugged her and added a little more strength. He didn't look at her, but Qi Che continued to look at Tang Wuyan, who was already trembling on her knees and said, "I offend the seven imperial concubines and speak rudely. What kind of punishment do you think it will be?" The tone was full of majesty and oppression unique to the royal family, and she didn't even dare to breathe.
"The people's women know their mistakes, the people's women know their mistakes, ask Your Highness for forgiveness, and ask the seven imperial concubines for forgiveness..." There were a series of lamentations, screaming sadly, and the head kowtowed more diligently. There is no arrogance just now!
"Get out!" It seems to be disgusted to take one more look.
"Yes, yes, I get out, I get out." It was also a kind of gratitude, with no image, and he hurriedly retreated like a homeless dog.
On the side, Xi'er, Li Wei also retreated together, leaving time and space to the men and women in the flowers.
For a moment, the silence after the noise is actually more embarrassing, because it is so caught off guard...
