After the scheming is dressed into an innocent beauty
Chapter 43 Why Are You Not a Girl
After hearing Jing Yu's words, Bai Jinfu became more and more confused. What does it mean to just lie to him?Where did this "single" come from?
Bai Jinfu looked at Jing Yu with hesitant and puzzled eyes, and asked tentatively, "...you, why do you say that? When did I look down on you?"
Jing Yu didn't answer, but just quietly stared sideways at Bai Jinfu, his expression seemed to say silently, "How long are you going to lie to me?"
Bai Jinfu: "..." Why do you suddenly feel so guilty?Does Jing Yu know something?But how did he know?Who is that talkative who is talking nonsense in front of Jing Yu?
Bai Jinfu was so guilty that he didn't dare to look at Jing Yu or speak. He pretended to be attracted by Duan Heng and Zheng Yayun in the garden, and concentrated on "peeping".
In the garden, Duan Hengjiu stared at Zheng Yayun, with a hint of eagerness and obvious affection in his eyes, a faint blush appeared on his pale cheeks, and he closed his lips several times, as if he had prepared a lot. I want to say something to Zheng Yayun, but I don't know where to start.
In the end, Zheng Yayun felt uncomfortable being stared at by Duan Heng, so she couldn't help but ask, "His Royal Highness, what do you want to say to me?"
Duan Heng coughed, cleared his throat while sorting out his thoughts, and then slowly said: "Are you really willing to marry the Seventh Prince as a side concubine?"
"Is this something I want to do?" Zheng Yayun seemed to feel that it was absurd to be asked like this, she frowned lightly and said, "One or two of you come to ask me if I want to, but even if I don't want to, so what? Can you change your mind? Is the focus of this matter on me?"
"Don't worry, that's not what I mean." Duan Heng waved his hands quickly, stepped up to Zheng Yayun tentatively, and asked cautiously, "What I want to ask is, didn't you say before that you don't want to marry someone as a concubine? Why are you willing again?"
"I don't want to, let alone a prince, even if I enter the palace to be a concubine, I don't want to." Zheng Yayun lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly, "But is my opinion important? If I don't obey the emperor's will, I will be hurt. My family, what about my father, what about my aunt, do my other brothers and sisters still have a way out? So this matter is not up to me to be self-willed, and if I give a marriage order, I have to marry if I want to marry, or if I don’t want to marry You have to marry too, His Royal Highness Shen Wang, you were born in the royal family, and you should know better than me the four words "you can't help yourself."
Duan Heng nodded again and again, and said: "Yes, I understand, I know that you are a sensible and good girl, and you will never act recklessly for your own selfishness, but this matter has wronged you after all."
Zheng Yayun pulled her lips lightly, and said sarcastically: "His Royal Highness Shen is serious, it doesn't matter if I am wronged or not, I have been here since I was a child, if I complained about myself all day long, I would not be able to survive long ago."
As a concubine, Zheng Yayun has many brothers and sisters who are not valued by Kang Chengbo, and Mrs. Kang Chengbo is a shrewd person who can't rub her eyes. With so many concubines and concubines, of course she only prefers the few children she gave birth to. Zheng Yayun is in such a state. One can imagine how difficult it is for the aunt to make a living under the hands of the aunt. Lack of food and clothing, being excluded and wronged among the sisters has long been a common occurrence, and she has long been used to this kind of life of swallowing one's anger.
"Then..." Duan Heng hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind with his fists clenched. He strode up to Zheng Yayun, his voice trembling because of nervousness, and he asked the words buried in his heart, "What if I want to marry you as a concubine? Will you marry me?"
Zheng Yayun raised her eyebrows in surprise, surprise appeared on her delicate face, "What did you say?"
Duan Heng restrained his excitement, and quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I definitely don't want to belittle you, as long as you are willing to be my side concubine, I will definitely protect you well, and I will never let you be wronged in this life ! As long as you are willing, I will never let you down in this life!"
Zheng Yayun stared at Duan Heng, blinked, then suddenly took two steps back, distanced herself from Duan Heng, raised her chin, looked at Duan Heng with very strange eyes, and said coldly: "His Royal Highness, although I come from a humble background, , but also has a bit of backbone, and never thought of climbing the dragon and the phoenix, but you told me that His Highness the Seventh Prince wants to accept me as a side concubine, and then you tell me that you also want to accept me as a side concubine, so I can do whatever I want The goods that people change hands are not good? Even if you are the sons and grandsons of the princes, can you humiliate people like this? Is it too much to deceive people!"
Duan Heng didn't know what to say to dispel Zheng Yayun's misunderstanding of him, he scratched his hair on the sideburns in frustration, and defended himself: "I really didn't mean that, I didn't mean to insult you, the reason why I proposed that , because... Seventh Uncle can’t give you happiness, but I can, if you want, I’ll go to ask the emperor to make it right, if the emperor doesn’t agree, I’ll keep on kneeling, and he will definitely agree in the end. Yayun, I really... I really like you, please believe me!"
After hearing what Duan Heng said, Zheng Yayun didn't show surprise or emotion on her face, she turned her head and refused: "Thank you for your wrong love, His Royal Highness, but I don't want to. I will pretend that I didn't hear what you just said. If you take it seriously It’s really for my own good, so please don’t mention these words in the future.”
"Why?" Duan Heng felt very surprised. He and Zheng Yayun had had a good conversation several times before at the Polo Club of the Gathering Poetry Association in other provinces. He thought that Zheng Yayun should have some affection for him, but he couldn't figure it out. Why did Zheng Yayun reject him, suddenly thought of a possibility, looked suspiciously at Zheng Yayun and asked, "Do you like my seventh uncle? Yes, seventh uncle is indeed prettier than me, but you can't judge people only by their appearance..."
"That's enough, Your Highness Shen! Please speak carefully!" Zheng Yayun's almond eyes opened wide, with a slightly sullen look on her face, she interrupted Duan Heng dissatisfiedly, "I only met the Seventh Highness today, so why not talk about it?" like?"
Duan Heng didn't understand, "Then why are you willing to marry him but not me?"
Zheng Yayun said unceremoniously: "Is there any difference between marrying you and marrying him? Your Royal Highness, you are such an old man, how can you speak so naively and naively? You said you can protect me for the rest of my life, don't let me I am wronged, is it possible?"
"Why is it impossible?" Duan Heng raised a hand and vowed, "If you don't believe me, I can swear it!"
"I believe in your current intentions, but what about the future? You will marry the main concubine sooner or later, and the backyard has always been a battlefield for women. If you prefer me, the princess will not see me as a thorn in the side. If I marry the concubine in the future What should I do if there is a conflict? Even if you can protect me for a while, who can guarantee that you will not get bored one day, then how will I deal with myself?" Zheng Yayun said indifferently, "My father Kang Chengbo's backyard has Thirteen concubines, I have lived in that kind of place since I was a child, and I am used to seeing the intrigue among the women in the backyard. My father took in a beautiful aunt a few years ago, and doted on her in every possible way, making her pampered Even my aunt doesn't look down upon her, but my father has too many women around her, and as time goes by, her favor will be cut off, do you know what kind of life that aunt lived afterwards?"
Duan Heng thought for a moment after hearing Zheng Yayun's words, and said, "But I'm different from your father..."
Zheng Yayun interrupted indifferently: "What's the difference? As a concubine, you are doomed to be inferior. Even your life is in the hands of others. Sometimes the favor of the lord can become a knife that takes people's lives. So I can't bear His Royal Highness Shen's kindness, I would rather marry His Royal Highness Seven who doesn't like me, and live this life peacefully."
Duan Heng looked at Zheng Yayun steadily, opened and closed his mouth, closed and opened again, unable to think of any rebuttal words.
"You keep saying that you like me and you won't let me down, but if you really don't want to let me down, then you should marry me as the main concubine instead of the side concubine." Zheng Yayun looked at Duan Heng's hesitant look, and decided to marry me again. It would be a quick knife to cut through the mess, so he said firmly, "His Royal Highness, I understand your involuntary difficulties, and please don't embarrass me anymore. I just want to live a normal life. I only hate that I don't have any." Born as a man, otherwise why bother to stick to the acre and a half of the backyard, or study hard to gain fame and glory in the exam, or work hard to create a meritorious service in the battlefield and make a good living for yourself, but unfortunately I was born as a daughter. I can only accept my fate. If His Royal Highness Shen Wang has nothing else to do, then Yayun will leave first."
After finishing speaking, Zheng Yayun turned around without hesitation, returned from the original road and left the garden, leaving only Duan Heng standing there, recalling Zheng Yayun's words just now, feeling ashamed in her heart, hot and cold all over her body, she was ashamed.
No wonder Zheng Yayun looked down on him, he kept saying that he liked her, but he didn't even have the courage to ask Emperor Longqing to point Zheng Yayun to him as his concubine. Even Zheng Yayun had the consciousness to fight for herself as a man, but But he can only succumb to Duan Wuji's lust all his life, even a woman has more backbone than him, it's a joke that he lives so mediocrely.
"What's the matter? Did the girl agree to you?" Seeing Zheng Yayun leave, Bai Jinfu walked back slowly. He could tell the result from Duan Heng's dejected expression, but he wanted to ask on purpose.
Duan Heng drooped his head, looked lost, and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you Qishu for helping me today, I will remember this kindness in my heart, and I will retire in advance."
Bai Jinfu didn't try to persuade him to stay. He watched Duan Heng leave in a daze like he was watching a good show. When he was gone, he stretched out his hand to call Jing Yu, who was hiding in the corner outside, to come out, and said triumphantly, "How about it? I just said it." Well, the girl is very high-minded, she didn't even look at this silly boy, Miss Zheng San is still very discerning, she can see that Duan Heng is a person who can't be entrusted to."
There was no trace of a smile on Jing Yu's face, "Are you still very happy? If the girl doesn't want to marry Shen Wang, then she can only marry you."
Bai Jinfu raised his eyebrows, and said as a matter of course: "Why are you unhappy? That means I'm more reliable than Duan Heng."
Jing Yu: "..."
When Bai Jinfu saw Jing Yu's face turned dark, he held back a smile and said, "I'm just joking, don't worry, I still have a backup, and I won't really accept other girls."
"I have nothing to worry about," Jing Yu said lightly, "There are so many people around you who are giving advice to you, do you still need me to worry about it?"
"..." Bai Jin pinched the finger on his thumb, pressed down the corner of his lips, looked at Jing Yu solemnly and asked, "I actually wanted to ask just now, did you hear what someone said to you?" ?”
"So Han Xiang hasn't told you yet?" Jing Yu's face was as calm as water, "He has already told me everything you did."
Bai Jinfu: "..." It turned out that Han Yucheng was behind the scenes, your uncle dared to betray your father!
Seeing Bai Jinfu's blank expression, Jing Yu couldn't help but sneered, "You look like you don't know anything about it, so it seems that you are not completely open and honest."
Bai Jin moved his Adam's apple up and down, "Then you've heard what he said, why are you still...?"
Jing Yu interrupted Bai Jinfu: "It's up to him to say what he says, but I'm not so stupid that I believe whatever Han Yucheng says. I don't think he will be so kind as to give me advice, so I still want to Listen to me from your own mouth."
Bai Jinfu's heartbeat started to speed up uncontrollably, his throat tightened, and he asked with difficulty: "What do you want to hear from me?"
"It's understandable that you met Jiang Shuheng, but why did you go to such lengths to get to know Han Yucheng and Ji Fengyao?" Jing Yu looked into Bai Jinfu's eyes with burning eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "If you are really the Seventh Prince , It is easy to restore the identity of the prince, there is no need to provoke these two people, why are you doing this?"
Bai Jinfu scolded the talkative Han Yucheng a hundred times in his heart. Han Yucheng was telling stories in front of Jing Yu, thinking that this would make Jing Yu hate him, but Jing Yu is so smart, how could he not be angry about this? Suspected, the cheating Han Yucheng really ruined his plan!
Bai Jin pushed his lips together, "I..."
Jing Yu said coldly: "If you don't tell me the truth again, I'll bring the three of them here and confront you face to face."
Bai Jinfu was furious when he heard the words, obviously he did this to protect him, it's fine if he didn't appreciate it, and he was so aggressive, he gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "No matter what Han Yucheng told you is true or not, I'm still lying You, didn't you already made everything clear last time, why do you still want to take care of my affairs?"
"You think I don't want to let go?" Jing Yu lowered his eyelashes to hide the sadness in his eyes, and his voice hoarse, "I tried, but unfortunately I couldn't."
Bai Jin looked at the man in front of him who showed a dejected look, and felt a sharp pain in his heart, his Adam's apple rolled, and asked, "Why can't it be done?"
"I don't understand why you don't trust me so much? You'd rather be with wolves, tigers, and leopards than confess to me?" Jing Yu suddenly called Bai Jinfu, "Ah Fu, do you hate me or do you hate me?" Hiding from me on purpose?"
Hearing the familiar title, Bai Jinfu's heart beat like a drum, and he felt uneasy that the secret that he tried hard to hide in his heart that he didn't want to be known was about to be revealed. The female officer watching the wind came back, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, she pretended to be calm and winked at Jing Yu, and reminded in a low voice: "Someone is here, I have to go back first, and I will talk to you later."
After speaking, without waiting to see Jing Yu's reaction, he turned around and ran away.
Bai Jinfu hurried back to Concubine Shu's Palace, and stopped people before Zheng Yayun entered the apse, "Miss Zheng San, please stay."
Zheng Yayun stopped when she heard the words, turned around with a beautiful oval face, and asked bluntly, "Your Highness, is there anything else?"
Bai Jinfu stepped forward and said in a low voice: "That's right, if Miss Zheng San feels wronged by marrying me as a side concubine, I have a way to make you not have to marry."
Zheng Yayun stared at Bai Jinfu for a few seconds, her eyes turned red, she bit her lips and said angrily, "You said that the emperor will give you a marriage, so I accept my fate, and I will marry, but what do you think of me? Say you want to accept me as a side concubine, but then say you don’t want me to marry? Are you guys deceiving people too much! "
Seeing that the girl was about to cry, Bai Jinfu hurriedly handed over the handkerchief, and explained in a warm voice, "Don't be angry, it's because I didn't make it clear. It's not that I don't want to marry you, but I'm afraid that you will marry me." I was wronged, to be honest, I suffer from a hidden disease, marrying a wife and taking a concubine is harmful, I don't want you to marry me because I don't want to delay you."
Zheng Yayun opened her almond eyes in surprise when she heard the words, she felt embarrassed when she recovered, and hurriedly apologized to Bai Jinfu, "Your Highness, I was rude just now, I'm sorry, I didn't know you...but this is The emperor refers to marriage, if you don't want to marry me, what should you do?"
Seeing that Zheng Yayun was willing to cooperate, Bai Jinfu relaxed his heartstrings, looked around to confirm that there was no one around, and took Zheng Yayun to a remote place to discuss countermeasures: "Listen to me, just do this..."
Although Daliu's status as a woman is not low, it is only limited to the relationship between the main wife and her husband. Since ancient times, the etiquette and law have been that concubines are cheap, and concubines are sold. She hoped that if she married into an ordinary family, Zheng Yayun might still be able to resist, but this is the emperor's request for marriage, and no matter how unwilling she is, she can only succumb to fate.
But she is also a rare transparent person. Although Duan Heng swore in front of her that he would not betray her, Zheng Yayun still saw that Duan Heng was a cowardly and incompetent person, and was not moved by Duan Heng's sweet words.
Originally, Bai Jinfu wanted to give Duan Heng a chance. If he and Zheng Yayun were lovers and concubines, then he would be a good person and fulfill the two of them. This uncle didn't give him a chance.
After talking with Zheng Yayun, Bai Jinfu and her went back to Concubine Shu's palace as if nothing had happened, and talked for a while. Mrs. Kang Chengbo saw that it was almost time, so she bid farewell to Concubine Shu and left the palace with her two daughters.
As soon as Mrs. Kang Chengbo, mother and daughter left, Jing Yu followed closely behind to greet Concubine Shu.
"Concubine Shu, Empress Jin'an." Jing Yu saluted Concubine Shu, and according to the rules, he also greeted Bai Jinfu who was beside him, "His Highness Seventh is well."
Bai Jinfu also nodded slightly, "Hou Ning'an is good."
The two deliberately avoided suspicion in front of Concubine Shu, so as not to let Concubine Shu see the clues, and when they casually met their eyes, they both looked normal, as if what happened in the back garden just now had never happened at all.
Concubine Shu didn't doubt that she had him, so she asked Jing Yu to sit down, and asked Bai Jinfu with concern: "How was your chat with Miss Zheng San in the back just now? Are you satisfied with each other?"
Bai Jinfu nodded with a smile: "Satisfied, Miss Zheng San has a beautiful appearance, is knowledgeable and reasonable, and speaks elegantly. I had a very happy conversation with her."
Concubine Shu smiled and said: "That's good, that's good, since you are satisfied, then I will go back to the emperor and say that you are willing to accept Zheng Yayun as a side concubine?"
Bai Jinfu had no objection, and said indifferently: "Then I will trouble your empress."
When Jing Yu heard that Bai Jinfu actually agreed to accept Zheng Yayun as his side concubine, he couldn't help but cast a sideways glance at Bai Jinfu. Bai Jinfu felt Jing Yu's gaze, but pretended he didn't see it, and picked up the teacup by his hand without changing his expression. I took a sip of tea.
Concubine Shu didn't notice the turbulent waves hidden under the calm faces of the two people, and said to herself: "Just now, this palace has asked Mrs. Kang Chengbo for Miss Zheng San's birthday. The etiquette is so cumbersome, but the horoscopes always have to be combined, I have already had someone write down the horoscopes of Miss Zheng San, and I will send them to the Sitianjian to find the Sitianjian's envoy to combine them."
Bai Jin helped and said: "You don't need to bother your majesty with such a trivial matter. I just happen to have something to go to the Sitianjian. Your majesty might as well give me Miss Zheng San's horoscope, and I'll send it there."
Concubine Shu thought about it, so she agreed, and asked the female officer beside her to give the note with Zheng Yayun's birthday to Bai Jinfu. After Bai Jinfu accepted the note, she got up and left.
Before reaching the gate of the palace, Jing Yu chased up from behind, walked side by side with Bai Jinfu, and asked in a low voice, "Are you planning to make a fuss about the horoscope?"
Bai Jinfu was not surprised that Jing Yu would guess his purpose, and nodded, "But this is not enough, without Zheng Yayun, there will be Wang Yayun, Zhang Yayun, the emperor must give up the idea of giving me a marriage." .”
Jing Yu tilted his head and glanced at Bai Jinfu, his eyes moved, as if he felt that Bai Jinfu, who was good at planning, was a little strange, and he was completely different from the Ah Fu who had no city in his memory, but he still said: " I will go with you."
When we arrived at Sitianjian, the envoy of Sitianjian heard that the Seventh Prince and Marquis Ning An were visiting, so he came out to receive them in person. After hearing Bai Jinfu's explanation of his visit, he asked Bai Jinfu and Jing Yu to sit down and have a drink in the side hall. After a while of tea, because it is compatible with men and women, it is necessary to burn tortoise shells for divination, and it will take more than half an hour to produce results after burning.
The deputy envoy of the mission wrote down Bai Jinfu's birth date and took it out to join Zheng Yayun, while he stayed in the side hall to talk with Bai Jinfu and Jing Yu.
When Jing Yu read Bai Jinfu's horoscope written by the deputy envoy, he suddenly thought of something, and asked Bai Jinfu: "That day when we went to Lianhua Temple to worship, we asked the Taoist priest in the temple to tell your fortune. What you reported was not your real birthday. character?"
Bai Jinfu blinked and said: "That's right, I didn't know my real birth date at that time, so I just made up a nonsense."
"No wonder." Jing Yu lowered his eyes thoughtfully, "Then it's not that the Taoist miscalculated, but that you gave a false horoscope."
Bai Jinfu also remembered that the Taoist priest in Lianhua Temple swore that he and Jing Yu had a relationship as husband and wife that day, and his ears warmed up, and he pretended to be serious and said to Jing Yu: "So that day the Taoist priest did it for you. My fortune-telling is unbelievable, so don't be led astray by him."
Jing Yu raised his eyebrows, looked at Bai Jinfu strangely and asked, "When did I say I was thinking wildly? Do you know what I'm thinking?"
Bai Jin Fugan smiled twice, "...of course it's best if you don't, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Jing Yu withdrew his gaze, and said calmly: "You are also capable, and a random horoscope can be counted as marriage with me."
In fact, it's not completely nonsense. Except for the fake year, everything else is his original birthday. Bai Jin touched his nose and said in a sly way: "I didn't expect that either..."
Jing Yu said again: "I didn't believe it at first, how can there be marriage between two men."
Bai Jinfu followed his words and agreed, "That's to say, it's all a misunderstanding."
"So at that time, even if there was a predestined fate, I couldn't marry you, because you are a man."
Bai Jinfu nodded casually, "That's for sure, how did the two men get married."
"Why are you not a girl?"
"Yeah, why am I not?" Bai Jinfu acted as if he was flattering Jing Yu, but he just answered the words in his head, and then he realized that he opened his eyes wide and stared at Jing Yu as if he was frightened, "Hey ?”
The author has something to say:
Bai Bai: Young people talk about martial arts?The straight ball can be sent as soon as it is said, how do you ask me to catch it?
Kawen came late and kowtowed QAQ, commented and randomly received 20 red envelopes, asking for nutrient solution to feed~
Bai Jinfu looked at Jing Yu with hesitant and puzzled eyes, and asked tentatively, "...you, why do you say that? When did I look down on you?"
Jing Yu didn't answer, but just quietly stared sideways at Bai Jinfu, his expression seemed to say silently, "How long are you going to lie to me?"
Bai Jinfu: "..." Why do you suddenly feel so guilty?Does Jing Yu know something?But how did he know?Who is that talkative who is talking nonsense in front of Jing Yu?
Bai Jinfu was so guilty that he didn't dare to look at Jing Yu or speak. He pretended to be attracted by Duan Heng and Zheng Yayun in the garden, and concentrated on "peeping".
In the garden, Duan Hengjiu stared at Zheng Yayun, with a hint of eagerness and obvious affection in his eyes, a faint blush appeared on his pale cheeks, and he closed his lips several times, as if he had prepared a lot. I want to say something to Zheng Yayun, but I don't know where to start.
In the end, Zheng Yayun felt uncomfortable being stared at by Duan Heng, so she couldn't help but ask, "His Royal Highness, what do you want to say to me?"
Duan Heng coughed, cleared his throat while sorting out his thoughts, and then slowly said: "Are you really willing to marry the Seventh Prince as a side concubine?"
"Is this something I want to do?" Zheng Yayun seemed to feel that it was absurd to be asked like this, she frowned lightly and said, "One or two of you come to ask me if I want to, but even if I don't want to, so what? Can you change your mind? Is the focus of this matter on me?"
"Don't worry, that's not what I mean." Duan Heng waved his hands quickly, stepped up to Zheng Yayun tentatively, and asked cautiously, "What I want to ask is, didn't you say before that you don't want to marry someone as a concubine? Why are you willing again?"
"I don't want to, let alone a prince, even if I enter the palace to be a concubine, I don't want to." Zheng Yayun lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly, "But is my opinion important? If I don't obey the emperor's will, I will be hurt. My family, what about my father, what about my aunt, do my other brothers and sisters still have a way out? So this matter is not up to me to be self-willed, and if I give a marriage order, I have to marry if I want to marry, or if I don’t want to marry You have to marry too, His Royal Highness Shen Wang, you were born in the royal family, and you should know better than me the four words "you can't help yourself."
Duan Heng nodded again and again, and said: "Yes, I understand, I know that you are a sensible and good girl, and you will never act recklessly for your own selfishness, but this matter has wronged you after all."
Zheng Yayun pulled her lips lightly, and said sarcastically: "His Royal Highness Shen is serious, it doesn't matter if I am wronged or not, I have been here since I was a child, if I complained about myself all day long, I would not be able to survive long ago."
As a concubine, Zheng Yayun has many brothers and sisters who are not valued by Kang Chengbo, and Mrs. Kang Chengbo is a shrewd person who can't rub her eyes. With so many concubines and concubines, of course she only prefers the few children she gave birth to. Zheng Yayun is in such a state.

"Then..." Duan Heng hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind with his fists clenched. He strode up to Zheng Yayun, his voice trembling because of nervousness, and he asked the words buried in his heart, "What if I want to marry you as a concubine? Will you marry me?"
Zheng Yayun raised her eyebrows in surprise, surprise appeared on her delicate face, "What did you say?"
Duan Heng restrained his excitement, and quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I definitely don't want to belittle you, as long as you are willing to be my side concubine, I will definitely protect you well, and I will never let you be wronged in this life ! As long as you are willing, I will never let you down in this life!"
Zheng Yayun stared at Duan Heng, blinked, then suddenly took two steps back, distanced herself from Duan Heng, raised her chin, looked at Duan Heng with very strange eyes, and said coldly: "His Royal Highness, although I come from a humble background, , but also has a bit of backbone, and never thought of climbing the dragon and the phoenix, but you told me that His Highness the Seventh Prince wants to accept me as a side concubine, and then you tell me that you also want to accept me as a side concubine, so I can do whatever I want The goods that people change hands are not good? Even if you are the sons and grandsons of the princes, can you humiliate people like this? Is it too much to deceive people!"
Duan Heng didn't know what to say to dispel Zheng Yayun's misunderstanding of him, he scratched his hair on the sideburns in frustration, and defended himself: "I really didn't mean that, I didn't mean to insult you, the reason why I proposed that , because...

Yayun, I really... I really like you, please believe me!"
After hearing what Duan Heng said, Zheng Yayun didn't show surprise or emotion on her face, she turned her head and refused: "Thank you for your wrong love, His Royal Highness, but I don't want to. I will pretend that I didn't hear what you just said. If you take it seriously It’s really for my own good, so please don’t mention these words in the future.”
"Why?" Duan Heng felt very surprised. He and Zheng Yayun had had a good conversation several times before at the Polo Club of the Gathering Poetry Association in other provinces. He thought that Zheng Yayun should have some affection for him, but he couldn't figure it out. Why did Zheng Yayun reject him, suddenly thought of a possibility, looked suspiciously at Zheng Yayun and asked, "Do you like my seventh uncle? Yes, seventh uncle is indeed prettier than me, but you can't judge people only by their appearance..."
"That's enough, Your Highness Shen! Please speak carefully!" Zheng Yayun's almond eyes opened wide, with a slightly sullen look on her face, she interrupted Duan Heng dissatisfiedly, "I only met the Seventh Highness today, so why not talk about it?" like?"
Duan Heng didn't understand, "Then why are you willing to marry him but not me?"
Zheng Yayun said unceremoniously: "Is there any difference between marrying you and marrying him? Your Royal Highness, you are such an old man, how can you speak so naively and naively? You said you can protect me for the rest of my life, don't let me I am wronged, is it possible?"
"Why is it impossible?" Duan Heng raised a hand and vowed, "If you don't believe me, I can swear it!"
"I believe in your current intentions, but what about the future? You will marry the main concubine sooner or later, and the backyard has always been a battlefield for women. If you prefer me, the princess will not see me as a thorn in the side. If I marry the concubine in the future What should I do if there is a conflict?

Duan Heng thought for a moment after hearing Zheng Yayun's words, and said, "But I'm different from your father..."
Zheng Yayun interrupted indifferently: "What's the difference? As a concubine, you are doomed to be inferior. Even your life is in the hands of others. Sometimes the favor of the lord can become a knife that takes people's lives. So I can't bear His Royal Highness Shen's kindness, I would rather marry His Royal Highness Seven who doesn't like me, and live this life peacefully."
Duan Heng looked at Zheng Yayun steadily, opened and closed his mouth, closed and opened again, unable to think of any rebuttal words.
"You keep saying that you like me and you won't let me down, but if you really don't want to let me down, then you should marry me as the main concubine instead of the side concubine." Zheng Yayun looked at Duan Heng's hesitant look, and decided to marry me again. It would be a quick knife to cut through the mess, so he said firmly, "His Royal Highness, I understand your involuntary difficulties, and please don't embarrass me anymore. I just want to live a normal life. I only hate that I don't have any." Born as a man, otherwise why bother to stick to the acre and a half of the backyard, or study hard to gain fame and glory in the exam, or work hard to create a meritorious service in the battlefield and make a good living for yourself, but unfortunately I was born as a daughter. I can only accept my fate. If His Royal Highness Shen Wang has nothing else to do, then Yayun will leave first."
After finishing speaking, Zheng Yayun turned around without hesitation, returned from the original road and left the garden, leaving only Duan Heng standing there, recalling Zheng Yayun's words just now, feeling ashamed in her heart, hot and cold all over her body, she was ashamed.
No wonder Zheng Yayun looked down on him, he kept saying that he liked her, but he didn't even have the courage to ask Emperor Longqing to point Zheng Yayun to him as his concubine. Even Zheng Yayun had the consciousness to fight for herself as a man, but But he can only succumb to Duan Wuji's lust all his life, even a woman has more backbone than him, it's a joke that he lives so mediocrely.
"What's the matter? Did the girl agree to you?" Seeing Zheng Yayun leave, Bai Jinfu walked back slowly. He could tell the result from Duan Heng's dejected expression, but he wanted to ask on purpose.
Duan Heng drooped his head, looked lost, and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you Qishu for helping me today, I will remember this kindness in my heart, and I will retire in advance."
Bai Jinfu didn't try to persuade him to stay. He watched Duan Heng leave in a daze like he was watching a good show. When he was gone, he stretched out his hand to call Jing Yu, who was hiding in the corner outside, to come out, and said triumphantly, "How about it? I just said it." Well, the girl is very high-minded, she didn't even look at this silly boy, Miss Zheng San is still very discerning, she can see that Duan Heng is a person who can't be entrusted to."
There was no trace of a smile on Jing Yu's face, "Are you still very happy? If the girl doesn't want to marry Shen Wang, then she can only marry you."
Bai Jinfu raised his eyebrows, and said as a matter of course: "Why are you unhappy? That means I'm more reliable than Duan Heng."
Jing Yu: "..."
When Bai Jinfu saw Jing Yu's face turned dark, he held back a smile and said, "I'm just joking, don't worry, I still have a backup, and I won't really accept other girls."
"I have nothing to worry about," Jing Yu said lightly, "There are so many people around you who are giving advice to you, do you still need me to worry about it?"
"..." Bai Jin pinched the finger on his thumb, pressed down the corner of his lips, looked at Jing Yu solemnly and asked, "I actually wanted to ask just now, did you hear what someone said to you?" ?”
"So Han Xiang hasn't told you yet?" Jing Yu's face was as calm as water, "He has already told me everything you did."
Bai Jinfu: "..." It turned out that Han Yucheng was behind the scenes, your uncle dared to betray your father!
Seeing Bai Jinfu's blank expression, Jing Yu couldn't help but sneered, "You look like you don't know anything about it, so it seems that you are not completely open and honest."
Bai Jin moved his Adam's apple up and down, "Then you've heard what he said, why are you still...?"
Jing Yu interrupted Bai Jinfu: "It's up to him to say what he says, but I'm not so stupid that I believe whatever Han Yucheng says. I don't think he will be so kind as to give me advice, so I still want to Listen to me from your own mouth."
Bai Jinfu's heartbeat started to speed up uncontrollably, his throat tightened, and he asked with difficulty: "What do you want to hear from me?"
"It's understandable that you met Jiang Shuheng, but why did you go to such lengths to get to know Han Yucheng and Ji Fengyao?" Jing Yu looked into Bai Jinfu's eyes with burning eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "If you are really the Seventh Prince , It is easy to restore the identity of the prince, there is no need to provoke these two people, why are you doing this?"
Bai Jinfu scolded the talkative Han Yucheng a hundred times in his heart. Han Yucheng was telling stories in front of Jing Yu, thinking that this would make Jing Yu hate him, but Jing Yu is so smart, how could he not be angry about this? Suspected, the cheating Han Yucheng really ruined his plan!
Bai Jin pushed his lips together, "I..."
Jing Yu said coldly: "If you don't tell me the truth again, I'll bring the three of them here and confront you face to face."
Bai Jinfu was furious when he heard the words, obviously he did this to protect him, it's fine if he didn't appreciate it, and he was so aggressive, he gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "No matter what Han Yucheng told you is true or not, I'm still lying You, didn't you already made everything clear last time, why do you still want to take care of my affairs?"
"You think I don't want to let go?" Jing Yu lowered his eyelashes to hide the sadness in his eyes, and his voice hoarse, "I tried, but unfortunately I couldn't."
Bai Jin looked at the man in front of him who showed a dejected look, and felt a sharp pain in his heart, his Adam's apple rolled, and asked, "Why can't it be done?"
"I don't understand why you don't trust me so much? You'd rather be with wolves, tigers, and leopards than confess to me?" Jing Yu suddenly called Bai Jinfu, "Ah Fu, do you hate me or do you hate me?" Hiding from me on purpose?"
Hearing the familiar title, Bai Jinfu's heart beat like a drum, and he felt uneasy that the secret that he tried hard to hide in his heart that he didn't want to be known was about to be revealed. The female officer watching the wind came back, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, she pretended to be calm and winked at Jing Yu, and reminded in a low voice: "Someone is here, I have to go back first, and I will talk to you later."
After speaking, without waiting to see Jing Yu's reaction, he turned around and ran away.
Bai Jinfu hurried back to Concubine Shu's Palace, and stopped people before Zheng Yayun entered the apse, "Miss Zheng San, please stay."
Zheng Yayun stopped when she heard the words, turned around with a beautiful oval face, and asked bluntly, "Your Highness, is there anything else?"
Bai Jinfu stepped forward and said in a low voice: "That's right, if Miss Zheng San feels wronged by marrying me as a side concubine, I have a way to make you not have to marry."
Zheng Yayun stared at Bai Jinfu for a few seconds, her eyes turned red, she bit her lips and said angrily, "You said that the emperor will give you a marriage, so I accept my fate, and I will marry, but what do you think of me? Say you want to accept me as a side concubine, but then say you don’t want me to marry? Are you guys deceiving people too much! "
Seeing that the girl was about to cry, Bai Jinfu hurriedly handed over the handkerchief, and explained in a warm voice, "Don't be angry, it's because I didn't make it clear. It's not that I don't want to marry you, but I'm afraid that you will marry me." I was wronged, to be honest, I suffer from a hidden disease, marrying a wife and taking a concubine is harmful, I don't want you to marry me because I don't want to delay you."
Zheng Yayun opened her almond eyes in surprise when she heard the words, she felt embarrassed when she recovered, and hurriedly apologized to Bai Jinfu, "Your Highness, I was rude just now, I'm sorry, I didn't know you...but this is The emperor refers to marriage, if you don't want to marry me, what should you do?"
Seeing that Zheng Yayun was willing to cooperate, Bai Jinfu relaxed his heartstrings, looked around to confirm that there was no one around, and took Zheng Yayun to a remote place to discuss countermeasures: "Listen to me, just do this..."
Although Daliu's status as a woman is not low, it is only limited to the relationship between the main wife and her husband. Since ancient times, the etiquette and law have been that concubines are cheap, and concubines are sold. She hoped that if she married into an ordinary family, Zheng Yayun might still be able to resist, but this is the emperor's request for marriage, and no matter how unwilling she is, she can only succumb to fate.
But she is also a rare transparent person. Although Duan Heng swore in front of her that he would not betray her, Zheng Yayun still saw that Duan Heng was a cowardly and incompetent person, and was not moved by Duan Heng's sweet words.
Originally, Bai Jinfu wanted to give Duan Heng a chance. If he and Zheng Yayun were lovers and concubines, then he would be a good person and fulfill the two of them. This uncle didn't give him a chance.
After talking with Zheng Yayun, Bai Jinfu and her went back to Concubine Shu's palace as if nothing had happened, and talked for a while. Mrs. Kang Chengbo saw that it was almost time, so she bid farewell to Concubine Shu and left the palace with her two daughters.
As soon as Mrs. Kang Chengbo, mother and daughter left, Jing Yu followed closely behind to greet Concubine Shu.
"Concubine Shu, Empress Jin'an." Jing Yu saluted Concubine Shu, and according to the rules, he also greeted Bai Jinfu who was beside him, "His Highness Seventh is well."
Bai Jinfu also nodded slightly, "Hou Ning'an is good."
The two deliberately avoided suspicion in front of Concubine Shu, so as not to let Concubine Shu see the clues, and when they casually met their eyes, they both looked normal, as if what happened in the back garden just now had never happened at all.
Concubine Shu didn't doubt that she had him, so she asked Jing Yu to sit down, and asked Bai Jinfu with concern: "How was your chat with Miss Zheng San in the back just now? Are you satisfied with each other?"
Bai Jinfu nodded with a smile: "Satisfied, Miss Zheng San has a beautiful appearance, is knowledgeable and reasonable, and speaks elegantly. I had a very happy conversation with her."
Concubine Shu smiled and said: "That's good, that's good, since you are satisfied, then I will go back to the emperor and say that you are willing to accept Zheng Yayun as a side concubine?"
Bai Jinfu had no objection, and said indifferently: "Then I will trouble your empress."
When Jing Yu heard that Bai Jinfu actually agreed to accept Zheng Yayun as his side concubine, he couldn't help but cast a sideways glance at Bai Jinfu. Bai Jinfu felt Jing Yu's gaze, but pretended he didn't see it, and picked up the teacup by his hand without changing his expression. I took a sip of tea.
Concubine Shu didn't notice the turbulent waves hidden under the calm faces of the two people, and said to herself: "Just now, this palace has asked Mrs. Kang Chengbo for Miss Zheng San's birthday. The etiquette is so cumbersome, but the horoscopes always have to be combined, I have already had someone write down the horoscopes of Miss Zheng San, and I will send them to the Sitianjian to find the Sitianjian's envoy to combine them."
Bai Jin helped and said: "You don't need to bother your majesty with such a trivial matter. I just happen to have something to go to the Sitianjian. Your majesty might as well give me Miss Zheng San's horoscope, and I'll send it there."
Concubine Shu thought about it, so she agreed, and asked the female officer beside her to give the note with Zheng Yayun's birthday to Bai Jinfu. After Bai Jinfu accepted the note, she got up and left.
Before reaching the gate of the palace, Jing Yu chased up from behind, walked side by side with Bai Jinfu, and asked in a low voice, "Are you planning to make a fuss about the horoscope?"
Bai Jinfu was not surprised that Jing Yu would guess his purpose, and nodded, "But this is not enough, without Zheng Yayun, there will be Wang Yayun, Zhang Yayun, the emperor must give up the idea of giving me a marriage." .”
Jing Yu tilted his head and glanced at Bai Jinfu, his eyes moved, as if he felt that Bai Jinfu, who was good at planning, was a little strange, and he was completely different from the Ah Fu who had no city in his memory, but he still said: " I will go with you."
When we arrived at Sitianjian, the envoy of Sitianjian heard that the Seventh Prince and Marquis Ning An were visiting, so he came out to receive them in person. After hearing Bai Jinfu's explanation of his visit, he asked Bai Jinfu and Jing Yu to sit down and have a drink in the side hall. After a while of tea, because it is compatible with men and women, it is necessary to burn tortoise shells for divination, and it will take more than half an hour to produce results after burning.
The deputy envoy of the mission wrote down Bai Jinfu's birth date and took it out to join Zheng Yayun, while he stayed in the side hall to talk with Bai Jinfu and Jing Yu.
When Jing Yu read Bai Jinfu's horoscope written by the deputy envoy, he suddenly thought of something, and asked Bai Jinfu: "That day when we went to Lianhua Temple to worship, we asked the Taoist priest in the temple to tell your fortune. What you reported was not your real birthday. character?"
Bai Jinfu blinked and said: "That's right, I didn't know my real birth date at that time, so I just made up a nonsense."
"No wonder." Jing Yu lowered his eyes thoughtfully, "Then it's not that the Taoist miscalculated, but that you gave a false horoscope."
Bai Jinfu also remembered that the Taoist priest in Lianhua Temple swore that he and Jing Yu had a relationship as husband and wife that day, and his ears warmed up, and he pretended to be serious and said to Jing Yu: "So that day the Taoist priest did it for you. My fortune-telling is unbelievable, so don't be led astray by him."
Jing Yu raised his eyebrows, looked at Bai Jinfu strangely and asked, "When did I say I was thinking wildly? Do you know what I'm thinking?"
Bai Jin Fugan smiled twice, "...of course it's best if you don't, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Jing Yu withdrew his gaze, and said calmly: "You are also capable, and a random horoscope can be counted as marriage with me."
In fact, it's not completely nonsense. Except for the fake year, everything else is his original birthday. Bai Jin touched his nose and said in a sly way: "I didn't expect that either..."
Jing Yu said again: "I didn't believe it at first, how can there be marriage between two men."
Bai Jinfu followed his words and agreed, "That's to say, it's all a misunderstanding."
"So at that time, even if there was a predestined fate, I couldn't marry you, because you are a man."
Bai Jinfu nodded casually, "That's for sure, how did the two men get married."
"Why are you not a girl?"
"Yeah, why am I not?" Bai Jinfu acted as if he was flattering Jing Yu, but he just answered the words in his head, and then he realized that he opened his eyes wide and stared at Jing Yu as if he was frightened, "Hey ?”
