Chapter 206: Cheng Rui was scratched by Princess Changping
"Hey, hey, hey! Stop, stop, stop! Lord Li, Lord Zhang, I, Old Ghost Wu, have a bad mouth. I drank a few cups of horse urine and started talking nonsense. Don't blame me, don't blame me. I will go to Prince Consort Zhou's place to drink more tonight. Then you can punish me by making me drink a few more cups!"
The chat group of three people turned into a chat group of more than ten people in a short while.
Only Cheng Rui was alone, standing in the wind...
The guards at Minister Zeng's mansion threw the three men and the three large boxes out of the door.
Princess Changping was so angry that her face turned green. Cheng Rui came and just stood there stupidly. His wife was bullied, but he didn't even say a word to help her, let alone help her throw the person back.
What a waste! Fortunately, she came prepared today, with many guards behind her. Even if this bitch wanted to throw her out, it would be hard for her to do it.
The guards of Shangshu Zeng's mansion did not dare to throw the princess out directly, so they could only force her out with swords. However, they never expected that the guards behind Princess Changping would rush up and stab her with swords without any hesitation.
Shangguan Yue's face darkened instantly, and she glanced at Xiaobai. Xiaobai activated his inner strength and swept the folding fan in his hand. The guards who rushed up fell one after another, and Princess Changping was also pressed to the ground.
Princess Changping howled in pain and shouted loudly for Cheng Rui. Cheng Rui seemed to have just come to his senses and reluctantly went over to help up Changping, who was in tears and snot.
He felt a little nauseous about Princess Changping's ugliness. He didn't care much about the beauty or ugliness of women before, but with the comparison of the previous examples, he had a deeper understanding of beauty and ugliness, because he never knew that he would be so disgusted by a woman.
After helping Princess Changping up, Princess Changping just stood firm when she pushed Cheng Rui to the ground and slapped him twice in the face. Cheng Rui had not yet reacted to the sudden slaps.
The cheek that was hit was burning with pain, and the people around were stunned by Changping's sudden action. But when they saw Changping's messy hair and tears on his face, and Lord Cheng with five fingerprints on his face, they were lying on the ground.
He couldn't help but burst out laughing again. The lower-ranking official didn't dare to laugh, but covered his mouth with his hands tightly. His face turned red and veins bulged from trying so hard to hold it back.
"Get out! If you don't get out, I will go to the palace and ask your emperor why he sent his daughter to ruin the wedding of our Purple Flame Princess. I want to know clearly whether the emperor is dissatisfied with our Purple Flame Country."
Xiaobai flicked his sleeves, put away his folding fan, and exuded a cold air. When the officials heard the young prince's words, their laughter stopped abruptly. The young princes of the Zi Yan Kingdom must not be offended.
Although Princess Changping cannot be offended, but compared with the two, the relationship between the two countries cannot be destroyed. Changping has no effect on Nanyue, and the emperor's favor is not worth mentioning compared with state affairs.
Now everyone tried their best to persuade Princess Changping and Prince Consort Cheng to go back.
The auspicious time had arrived, and Shangguan Yue would not waste time on such trivial matters, because they still had to go out and return to Zhou Mansion. The people brought by Jin Feiyun and Shangnan grabbed Princess Changping and her group by the collar and threw them out of the gate.
A path was cleared to allow the sedan chair to leave smoothly. People on the street knew that Princess Yongle was getting married today, and they lined the streets to watch the fun.
Zhou Huaizhi ordered his men to prepare ten baskets of copper coins and half a pound of silver, and kept scattering the silver behind the sedan chair. The people rushed to pick up the silver on the ground.
Some of them couldn't pick up the silver and wanted to rob it, but were beaten up by the guards who followed behind. After that, they were thrown behind the sedan chair, and all the scattered silver fell on that person.
The man couldn't pick up the silver, couldn't rob the silver, and was beaten. He was already angry enough to go crazy. This time, he was almost knocked unconscious by the silver and got a bump on his head. He didn't care at all and smiled like a fool while holding a handful of silver.
Zhou Huaizhi finally married the beauty, and after marriage he and Zeng Qianer were in love with each other. Zeng Qianer deeply felt the darkness in the officialdom, and she did not want Zhou Huaizhi to enter the officialdom.
It's good to be a wealthy businessman. Her status is high enough and others dare not bully her. And with Zhou Huaizhi as her husband, others dare not offend or bully her.
Cheng Rui was slapped in the face by Princess Changping in public, and he lost all his dignity. He no longer had the same playfulness towards Princess Changping as before.
In particular, he knew that Princess Changping had had countless lovers before she married him, and he had only just arrived in the capital and was not clear about Princess Changping's past.
Moreover, Princess Changping always pestered him and pursued him relentlessly, appearing gentle and virtuous. He thought that although she looked ordinary, she had a good temper, high status, and would be of great help to his career.
Therefore, he was usually very respectful and permissive towards her. He did not expect that his permissiveness would make her unscrupulous. She blatantly went to Fufeng Pavilion to find young prostitutes and looked for handsome men everywhere to bring back to the princess's mansion.
In the past, he didn't understand why others looked at him strangely and smiled at him implicitly. But today, when he saw those looks and smiles again, he realized how embarrassing and disgraceful they were.
Now he doesn't want to see Changping for a moment. He feels nauseous and wants to vomit when he sees her. No wonder they have no children after three years of marriage. He doesn't know whether she doesn't want to have a child or she simply can't have a child.
Even if he married a princess, a poor boy with no background like him could not take a concubine. Fortunately, he already had a pair of children, otherwise he would have no descendants in this life, and he would not have been able to face his ancestors during the ancestral worship.
He would never be able to enter Changping's room again in his life, looking at the inkstone, wolf hair brush, paperweight, and nanmu bookshelf in the study...
All of these things were bought for him by Qian'er. The bookshelf was made from good wood that had been found in many wood stores. She watched the craftsman work on it every day, fearing that it would not be polished smooth enough or that the roughness would scratch the rice paper.
She said that she bought the inkstone from another wealthy businessman at a high price, and the businessman intended to keep it as a family heirloom. She begged for several days and told the businessman that it was a gift for her lover, hoping that her lover could pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi.
Seeing how infatuated she was with him, the rich businessman had to give up on her with reluctance. He still remembered that she came to him skipping and jumping with the inkstone in her hand, with a smile on her face as bright and warm as the spring sunshine.
Since when did they become like this? Why did she have to leave? Since she was already a princess, why couldn't she live in peace with Changping?
Even though they already have a child, she still wants to leave him and the child, abandoning them. How heartless and disloyal she is. Thinking of this, Cheng Rui felt a dull pain in his heart.
Even if she left him, he would laugh at her for wanting to marry again. Why did she have to marry someone with the surname Zhou? Didn't she know that he hated that person with the surname Zhou the most?
He passed the imperial examination at the age of sixteen. Among all the students, the one named Zhou was the most dazzling one. He was good-looking, had a good personality, was well-educated, and had a good family background. The only thing that made him happy was that he had a stepmother who wanted to kill him.
This is also something that the other students are all happy about. They all think that such a perfect person should not live in this world. Sure enough, God is fair!
