MTL - The Crown Prince Chases His Wife-Chapter 112 bloodthirsty

In the capital city, the Minister of Industry and Commerce, the Qin Mansion.

Mr. Zhu was in the house picking out hunting clothes for Qin Xi to go hunting in winter. It was almost Xiaohan, and the weather was particularly gloomy and cold. Mrs. Zhu did not choose among the bells and whistles, but chose whichever one was warm and thick.

"Miss." Liu's mother at the door opened the curtain.

Qin Xi suddenly stopped, put down his left hand that was about to put melon seeds in his mouth, and squinted at the old mother who had just saluted her.

"Mother Liu, didn't you say you want to call me Miss Xi, my sister Miss Lin?"

"Yes, yes, it's the memory of being small." Liu's mother repeatedly bowed and said yes.

Qin Xi turned his head and saw Mrs Zhu standing in front of the round table looking up at her, Qin Xi grinned and walked over,

"Mother."

Zhu Shi gave Qin Xi a helpless look,

"It's about you."

Qin Xi sat down on the low stool opposite Zhu's while smashing the melon seeds.

"That's how the servants of the elder sister's house call me and Qin Lin, doesn't it sound good?"

Mr. Zhu ignored Qin Xi and continued to carefully check the lining, fabric and stitching of the clothes.

Qin Xi said to himself:

"If it wasn't for us and Qin Xiang's mansion, the second child in the Qin mansion would not be her Qin Nian, but this young lady."

Zhu Shi glanced at Qin Xi,

"Irrespective of the government, do you think that the three of us have suffered too little in the hands of the old lady and Song Mei and Qin Nian?"

Qin Xi got up with a smile, stuck to Zhu's side, shook Zhu's arms with both hands and said coquettishly:

"Yes... well-divided, well-divided..."

Qin Xi's eyes fell on the winter clothes in Zhu's hands, and she then remembered what she was originally here for.

"By the way, A-Niang, Qin Lin still has to go to the winter hunt and pick a few more sets for Qin Lin."

"Remember to choose something more beautiful for her. She always looks old-fashioned on weekdays. She doesn't look like a flower girl."

Mr. Zhu stopped his movements, turned to look at Qin Xi, and asked with a frown:

"She's not fully ill, what should she do?"

Qin Xi stuffed a melon seed into his mouth and muttered,

"Who knows, maybe she also wants to eat venison hot pot?"

Qin Xi suddenly raised his head to look at Zhu Shi, his eyes were bright,

"Mother, why don't we eat hot pot tonight?"

"Eat, eat, and eat." Mr. Zhu tapped Qin Xi's head.

"Aiya, I'm not here to get in your way..." Qin Xi covered his head and trotted out.

After Qin Xi went out, Liu's mother closed the curtain to keep the cold outside behind the curtain.

Zhu Shi frowned slightly, she sat down slowly on the low stool beside her, and thought secretly.

Yesterday, Qin Lin fell into the water in Taiye Pond and was rescued by the prince of Duanwangfu. The news spread quickly.

Since this morning, many of the officials' wives who don't look down on her on weekdays, don't even look at her directly, have come to inquire in person or through agents, asking them if something good is coming.

Zhu flatly denied it.

good thing?

The prince of Duanwang's mansion has a serious concubine, but Mrs. Zhu didn't think it was a good thing for her daughter to be associated with such a family man.

And the Zhu family is not so naive. How could the prince of Duanwangfu, the nobleman of the royal family, jump into the lake himself to save his daughter for no reason.

Zhu Shi was already a little suspicious, but just now according to Qin Xi, Qin Lin dragged the sick body to go to the winter hunt...

Qin Lin is not a girl who likes to play and play.

Mr. Zhu has also lived half his life, and this sign can still be pinched.

Qin Lin has a problem with the Prince of Duan Wangfu.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhu immediately got up and went out to Qin Lin's yard.

------

Qin Lin was leaning against the bedside with a book in her hand.

There were several knocks on the door,

"Linlin."

Qin Lin raised her head,

"Mom, please come in."

After Mr. Zhu pushed the door and came in, he frowned and glanced at the room,

"Where did the maid go?"

"I want to stay by myself for a while." Qin Lin put down the book in her hand and looked at Mrs. Zhu.

Zhu Shi didn't miss Qin Lin's actions and said helplessly:

"Read the book again, beware of bad eyes."

Then Mr. Zhu turned around and closed the door.

Qin Lin frowned slightly. Qin Xi and her mother always acted carelessly on weekdays. They closed the door. What did the mother want to say?

Mrs. Zhu walked to Qin Lin's embroidered couch, sat on the low stool Qin Xi had just moved over, glanced at Qin Lin's face, and nodded.

This action is exactly the same as Qin Xi just now.

"Well, it looks good."

Then there was silence.

Zhu Shi was also a lady of boudoir when she was young. When asked by elders about this kind of thing, it was easy to arouse the little girl's rebellious emotions.

Mr. Zhu came over on impulse, and really didn't know how to open this mouth.

Seeing that her mother seemed to be hesitating, Qin Lin said softly:

"Mother has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Mrs Zhu took a deep breath, then looked at Qin Lin and said:

"Linlin, you know that mother speaks straight and doesn't go around detours."

"Tell your mother, what happened to the prince of your Tongduan palace?"

"You are going to winter hunting, is it because of him?"

Zhu Shi kept asking questions, but Qin Lin just lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Seeing that Qin Lin didn't deny it, Zhu's heart was not good.

What is there really?

Zhu Shi's heart burst into flames, and he opened his mouth like a cannonball:

"Linlin, although you are more learned and smarter than your mother, you are only a sixteen-year-old girl."

"I tell you, no matter how smart people are, they are all fools when they fall in love. I see if you are just starting to become stupid."

"Do you know that the prince of Duan Wangfu married the prince's concubine?"

"You haven't heard anyone say that the prince has been in love with the prince's concubine for many years?"

"The prince of Duanwang's mansion has a serious concubine, and if he provokes other women, he can only be a side concubine, a concubine, or an outer chamber."

"Not all just a concubine."

"A man's temporary interest is enough to make you bend over to be a concubine?"

Zhu's chest heaved up and down, he said this in one breath, stopped to take a few breaths, and continued:

"I didn't let your father take a concubine all these years. It's not that I'm jealous, but that any good daughter from a clean family would be willing to be a concubine?"

"If it really exists, if it's not for the poor people of low birth who can't help themselves, then they have a lot of hearts."

"If it's a poor person and enters the mansion, I'm embarrassed to bully others; if it's a kind hearted person, then I can only play tricks and fight for men in the back house all day long, and I don't have to worry about it. Are you making money?"

Mrs Zhu reached out and took Qin Lin's hand, caressed gently:

"Linlin, although our family is not very rich, it is not difficult to find a clean family whose family is not as good as ours."

"Let's use power and money to oppress that person, even if he doesn't dare to take a concubine, if we really have the guts, we'll divorce him."

Qin Lin burst out laughing when she heard Zhu's words.

Zhu Shi glared at Qin Lin,

"What are you laughing at, I'm serious for you."

"I'm going to send a big gift to Duan Wang's mansion, and return the favor of the prince to save you."

After Mr. Zhu finished speaking, he got up and prepared to go out. Qin Lin grabbed Mr. Zhu's cuff.

"Mother…"

Mrs Zhu turned around and looked at Qin Lin, angrily,

"Are you in a hurry?"

"Child, mother won't hurt you. You read so many books, where have you read them? How can you not understand?"

"Mother." Qin Lin's face became solemn, her tone lowered, and Mrs. Zhu immediately stopped.

Qin Lin solemnly said to Mrs Zhu:

"Mother, what happened yesterday, maybe a lot of eyes are staring at our house at the moment."

"If you want to go to Duanwang's mansion to repay your love, you can't go in the name of our mansion."

"Mother has to entrust the Crown Princess, in the name of the Crown Princess, to give this gift and repay this love."

Zhu Shi also turned around immediately, how could she be confused.

"Yes, yes, if I go to Duanwangfu to give gifts, others may not know how to arrange us."

Zhu Shi looked at Qin Lin's eyes a little softer,

"Looks like you're not confused yet."

What did Mr. Zhu think of?

"Then winter hunt?"

Qin Lin turned her eyes back to the curtain, how could she not understand what her mother said.

Qin Lin replied softly:

"Mother, I have my measure."

Zhu Shi sighed lightly, tucked Qin Lin's quilt, and turned to go out.

When Mr. Zhu left the yard, he went straight to the warehouse.

You have to choose two gifts, but she is good at this.

University Shian House.

After An Yanxi entered the mansion, she was directly invited to her father An Shifeng's study.

After An Yanxi entered the study, seeing that in addition to her father, even her brother was here, An Yanxi was a little puzzled, what's the matter?

"Father, brother."

"Yan Xi."

After some greetings, An Yanxi took a seat.

"Father sent someone to let me go back to the manor, what's the matter?"

An Wenjing sat at a tea table to make tea, he glanced at An Yanxi, and then looked away.

An Shifeng, the scholar behind the book, was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke:

"Yan Xi, did you not go with the prince to the ice banquet in Xiyuan yesterday?"

An Yanxi's eyes drooped slightly, it was this...

Indeed, since Qin Yan's crowning ceremony as the crown prince, An Yanxi has not stayed home. Now, in her capacity, she will see Qin Yan on many occasions, and she must bow to Qin Yan and respectfully call "Prince Concubine."

An Yanxi didn't go to Xiyuan yesterday because of illness. She wanted to minimize herself facing that kind of embarrassing situation.

In the quiet study room, only the tea table in front of An Wenjing occasionally made a soft sound of making tea.

After a while, An Shifeng spoke again:

"Yan Xi, you know some of the knots in your past for your father."

"But let go of what should be put down. Life is still very long. You are a smart girl. You should come out as soon as possible and manage your own life."

An Shifeng's tone suddenly became serious:

"Yan Xi, remember that you are now the prince concubine of Duan Wangfu, a member of the royal family. You should attend the royal palace banquet with the prince, and you should not let others spread rumors."

An Yanxi paused for a moment, then nodded.

After An Wenjing and An Yanxi came out of the study, the brother and sister walked slowly in the courtyard until they reached a rockery, and they heard the cheers of several young ladies in front of them.

At this moment, in a pavilion next to a few plum trees in the garden, An Suyue, the second lady of An's House, and several young ladies from aristocratic families in Beijing were admiring the newly made hunting outfits by An Suyue for winter hunting.

"Second Miss's hunting outfit is really nice."

"This color makes Second Miss's complexion even more fair."

"It's just..."

"I don't know if after this year's winter hunt, the saint will be like in previous years, and he will enjoy a feast in the south palace of Xishan. The plum forest between the north and south palaces is the most spectacular and beautiful in Shangjing."

An Yanxi and An Wenjing didn't want to hear this corner, and were about to turn around and leave, but the next sentence in the garden stopped An Yanxi.

"I'm afraid not. The South Palace is now the main residence of Zhaoren County. I'm afraid we won't have that lucky."

An Wenjing frowned and turned around. Is Yan Xi so sensitive to the words "Zhaoren County Lord"?

Several young ladies in the garden continued to chat:

"I heard that after the ice banquet ended yesterday, Zhaoren County Master, the new crown princess, ordered several young ladies who offended her to be immersed in the ice water of Taiye Pond. I heard that one of the young ladies almost died because of it."

"Tsk tsk tsk, the Crown Princess will also have a good life. She is so ruthless, how can she fit in that position."

"that is…"

…

"Hey, Suyue, I heard that you met His Royal Highness the Prince in Xiyuan yesterday?"

An Suyue's face was flushed,

"I just accidentally sprained my foot, His Royal Highness helped me."

"Oh…"

Several young ladies looked at An Suyue and smiled meaningfully.

If Song Zhi heard An Suyue's words, she would definitely ask her,

"His Royal Highness, what have you done for you?"

------

Hearing this, An Wenjing and An Yanxi didn't look good, and they walked out from behind the rockery.

"Eldest son, Miss."

The servants in the garden immediately saluted, and several young ladies in the pavilion, including An Suyue, also stood up to salute immediately.

And the faces of several young ladies were a little red, and they were close to An Suyue, and they knew exactly what they were doing here.

An Wenjing, the eldest son of the Anfu, is a talented person with a promising future, and he has not yet discussed his marriage. There are many unmarried girls in Beijing who are interested.

An Yanxi looked at An Suyue behind a few people and said coldly:

"An Suyue, I have something to talk to you alone."

An Suyue tilted her head, her face a little innocent.

Several young ladies also had good eyesight, and Fu Li said goodbye immediately.

An Yanxi stepped into the pavilion and chose the low stool opposite An Suyue to sit down.

And An Suyue also sat back, she was waiting for the eldest sister, the prince concubine of Duan Wangfu, to teach her something.

And An Wenjing turned around and left, and just after walking to the rockery, the housekeeper hurried over:

"Eldest son, Lord Song from the Prince's Mansion is here, and he has been invited into the parlour."

An Wenjing frowned, remembering what An Suyue said just now, he felt a little bad, and immediately walked towards the living room.

------

In the pavilion, An Yanxi did not detour and went straight to the theme:

"I advise you, don't move if you shouldn't have thoughts."

An Suyue tilted her head suspiciously,

"What did my sister say, my sister is stupid and can't understand..."

An Suyue dragged her last tone, seemingly provocative.

An Yanxi looked at An Suyue with a cold tone:

"You're young, and you have a lot of insight. You know what I said."

"Don't play with the Prince's Mansion."

An Suyue laughed when she heard the words.

"In what capacity did my sister warn me?"

"Is it Miss An from the scholar's mansion? Or the prince concubine of the Duan mansion?"

An Suyue sarcastically hooked her lips towards An Yanxi,

"If my sister can't do it, do you think I can't do it?"

An Yanxi's complexion changed greatly, and she immediately stood up in anger.

And An Suyue was calm, raised her hand and looked at her nails stained with Dan Kou, and said leisurely:

"Sister, don't be in a hurry to get angry. If you have that idle heart, you should take care of yourself."

An Yanxi frowned.

An Suyue looked at An Yanxi and said:

"It seems that my sister doesn't know yet?"

"Yesterday, my sister's husband, the prince of Duanwangfu, was a heroic rescuer in Taiye Lake, and it was rumored to be a good talk."

"In such a cold pool, the brother-in-law of the prince said that he would jump. If he said that the two of them were nothing, I would not believe it."

"Sister, do you believe it?"

An Yanxi was on the carriage returning to the Duan Palace, and the words of An Suyue just now kept echoing in her mind.

Previously, the servants of the mansion had rumored that Feng Subei seemed to have an outer room...

Are the rumors not groundless?

------

After An Yanxi left, the proud expression on An Suyue's face didn't last long before she was invited to the study by her father An Shifeng's people.

In the study, An Suyue saluted An Shifeng and An Wenjing. Seeing that the faces of her father and brother were dark, An Suyue felt a little uneasy.

An Shifeng did not let An Suyue take the seat, but said in a serious tone:

"Your mother is not in the house all the year round. There are some things that can only be told to you by my father."

"Although marriage matters are the orders of the parents and the matchmaker's words, but for the father, I will make an exception. I will send you a few portraits of the sons of noble families tomorrow, and you will see if there is anything you like."

An Suyue widened her eyes,

"What? Father..."

An Shifeng added:

"Dongshou, you don't want to go, and you can marry in peace in the mansion."

An Suyue wanted to say something more, but seeing her father's cold and dignified eyes, An Suyue swallowed the unspoken words and left the study in a disheartened manner.

------

In the study, after An Suyue left, An Wenjing sat down with An Shifeng and his son to play chess.

After leaving a child, An Shifeng sighed deeply,

"The prince actually handled this kind of thing himself. Once, twice, there was no place for my old face."

"Prince should still read on the old man's slight side, and it didn't embarrass my two daughters too much."

An Shifeng sighed again,

"Fortunately, it didn't happen to the Crown Princess, otherwise they would have to peel off their skin if they didn't die."

An Wenjing looked up, a little puzzled by his father's statement.

An Shifeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and his hands stopped moving.

"Qin Yan, the lord of Zhaoren County, such a young woman was once the lord of Gucheng City. Wenjing, you know how shocked I was when I learned this news as a father."

How could An Wenjing not think of it, he was also extremely surprised at the beginning.

An Shifeng continued:

"I have gone through two dynasties as a father, and I have seen all kinds of people."

"City Lord Gucheng... Qin Yan will have less blood on his hands?"

"Prince Concubine always looks indifferent in front of people. Oh, I guess for my father, she is just because of her status and because of the imperial power, she has suppressed her nature in the capital."

After a moment of silence in the study, An Shifeng spoke slowly again:

"Since His Royal Highness has chosen the Crown Princess, it is a matter of state and a family matter of the royal family."

"As vassals, we only need to do our part well, and don't talk about things that we shouldn't be involved in."

An Shifeng looked at An Wenjing,

"It's not safe for everyone, and you, it's time to start thinking about marriage."

An Wenjing nodded:

"Yes, father."
