"Prince."

The maids and mothers around him saluted one after another, making Su Yiqing come to her senses.

Lian Yufeng strode in, unbuttoned his robe while walking. The little maid Fangyan next to him immediately walked over cleverly to help him. He glanced at Fangyan coldly, and Fangyan's cheeks suddenly turned a faint blush. She lowered her head slightly, bit her red lips lightly, and looked infinitely shy.

Seeing this, Su Yiqing immediately frowned.

The next second, Lian Yufeng's outer robe fell. Because he took a look, the slightly flashing robe could not be caught, and the gorgeous robe fell to the ground.

Fangyan hurriedly picked it up and knelt in Lian Yufeng's footsteps, shy and timidly: "I deserve to die, the prince forgives me."

Although she was kneeling down, Fangyan's beautiful eyes slowly turned, and tears suddenly rose. I felt pity for her. Su Yiqing's mouth suddenly bent and sneered. This day was not short. Finally, she saw someone who could not help but seduce her in front of her. She was really unpretentious. She was the first to be the one who was always inconspicuous.

After thinking about it, I can't blame Fangyan. She was not serving in the house. If Lu Teng had something to do today, and the other two maids were slightly ill and there were not enough people to serve in the house, she temporarily transferred Fangyan, who was serving outside, to serve her. She would not have the chance to approach Lian Yufeng. In two days, the two maids would have been ready. Fangyan would have to return to her previous seat. If she didn't seize the opportunity at this time, she might not have the chance in the future. Perhaps there was also the news that the maid in the mansion was stimulated by the news of getting married today, for fear that someone would be promised that day, and she would be a life of a servant. No wonder this little maid was anxious.

Lian Yufeng's face changed instantly, and he said furiously: "Bitch, this is the robe given by the emperor. How dare you throw it to the ground."

"Prince forgive me, I didn't mean it." If Fangyan's timidity just now was a bit pretentious, this time, she was really scared and kept kowtowing to beg for mercy.

"Come here, drag it out forty, and blame me forty." Lian Yufeng said coldly, without any sympathy for the fragrance and jade.

Immediately, two strong women came in and wanted to pull Fangyan out.

"Prince, please spare me." Fangyan kept begging for mercy. Seeing Lian Yufeng unmoved, the old lady was forced to pull her back. Then she remembered Su Yiqing and hurriedly struggled to shout to Su Yiqing: "Princess..."

Su Yiqing couldn't bear to see it anymore, so she walked over. She picked up her robe and said lightly: "Prince, why bother with the little maid? The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and it's unlucky to see blood. Just deduct her three-month monthly money and a small punishment and great warning. I think she will not dare to be frustrated again next time."

Lian Yufeng has always used all means to achieve his goal. Perhaps this time he was determined to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, saying that he would never cut corners when he was thrusting his stick. A little maid would kill him forty, which would cause death.

"There's another time?" Lian Yufeng snorted coldly, watching Su Yiqing's expression ease, "Well, since the princess has spoken. This is the princess' dowry maid again. Today I will give the princess a face. Just give ten boards a little punishment, but this maid must be driven out, whatever, in short, don't let me see her again."

"I'm not thanking you, Prince." Su Yiqing glanced at Fangyan coldly.

"Thank you, Princess, thank you, Princess." Fangyan, who escaped the disaster, finally became smarter this time and knew how to thank Su Yiqing.

"Get out, you all retreat." Lian Yufeng tensed his face and gave a cold order.

Madam Qing quickly helped to pull Fangyan, who was so scared that she was scattered. Seeing this, no matter who dared to stay inside, she retreated as quickly as possible.

After everyone left, Su Yiqing said: "Why do you have to? You can't help but have such things. There are always people who don't know each other. Just ignore them. You can only have a few charming eyes, as long as you don't have that heart."

"That's why I want to kill you to warn you. At least in a short time, no more maids will come to me with nothing to do." Lian Yufeng said with a smile, no trace of anger on his face.

Su Yiqing shook her head: "Accompanying the king is like a tiger. As soon as the news of the royal talent show came out, folk women were looking for someone to marry for fear of being elected, but many noble girls from powerful families cut their heads into the land where the sun was gone."

"That's because once you are favored, the benefits you get are too great, and those noble girls are not all for themselves." Lian Yufeng said lightly, "I still remember your maid's name was Shuangxi, an inconspicuous little maid who bites someone very cruelly..."

"Stop." Su Yiqing interrupted Lian Yufeng's words, "It is not a pleasant thing for me to talk about the past. Given that we have been together quite happily during this period, I think we should keep this pleasure and avoid all the topics mentioned in the past. What do you think?"

Lian Yufeng spread his hands: "I think escaping is a coward's behavior, but women are different from men. It's okay for women to be more weak. OK, unless necessary, I won't mention it again."

"Thank you." Su Yiqing whispered,

"No need to say thank you between you and me." Lian Yufeng said softly.

Su Yiqing's eyes were slightly dim, "But I can't think of anything else except this."

"Follower." Lian Yufeng touched her hair, "As a man, I'm not that little."

Su Yiqing smiled sadly, her tone was a little depressed: "But I feel sorry for you."

"Why do you say that?" Lian Yufeng was a little surprised, "I always thought that I was sorry for you between you and me. After all, what I did back then... was like letting go."

Su Yiqing lowered her eyes slightly, without saying anything, and was a little confused. Who failed the past? If it were even when we met again, she could just say with confidence that he was sorry for him. He destroyed her marriage, he liked beauty and was romantic, and he pursued power with conspiracies and tricks.

Different eras have different moral standards. This era only requires women to end together, but men can have three wives and four concubines. He is also doing his best to treat her well. She has not given him a chance and has never been willing to open up to try to understand that his scriptures are beyond the general scope of benevolence and righteousness, and can be called affectionate. In this way, she failed him. So much so that they missed each other for so many years, but now they are full of trouble and hope that he can protect him, and even have many requirements.

"Oh! I forgot. You said you don't want to mention it, just change the topic." Seeing that her mood was a little wrong, Lian Yufeng changed the topic.

Su Yiqing sighed, "No, this is not the past. What I don't want to mention is my past... I don't mind anything else. I think you can actually find a perfect woman to be your wife. You have no flaws and are deeply in love with you. After all, you have such good conditions. If you take out one tenth of me, they should be very content with other women. And I... are not good enough."

In the eyes of others, she is not worthy of him. Not to mention others, she even feels that even though he has all kinds of shortcomings.

"More perfect. Flawless wife." Lian Yufeng sneered slightly, but a trace of pain flashed in his eyes. "Everyone wants such a wife, it depends on whether she can afford it."

Su Yiqing looked at Lian Yufeng in confusion. Did she touch his heart?

"Put yourself to others..." Lian Yufeng stared at Su Yiqing's face, looked up and down for a long time, and asked back, "Your conditions were not bad back then, a lady from a wealthy family. She is smart and smart, with a pretty and charming appearance. She must be the best among all the noble girls. Why haven't you ever thought about finding a perfect husband?"

Su Yiqing was stunned for a moment and said quietly: "You think I have good conditions. In fact, before meeting you, I had been kissed several times. Even when I proposed marriage to me, it was not because I thought I had good conditions... It's not that I didn't want to find it, but when I was in the boudoir, I almost didn't go out of the door. Where can I find a perfect person to marry me? There are so many such people that good girls are rushing to marry. There are far fewer good men in the world than good women."

Zhao Boyang is one of the few good men in the world, but they are not destined to be together. But thinking about it, even if they really married Zhao Boyang back then, it might not be a blessing. I didn’t experience so much back then, and I couldn’t show my happiness without comparison. I would feel wronged if I had a little trivial matter. The words "contentment" are simple, but how many people can do it?

Now in the eyes of the world, she has married a rich husband. Many people envied and hated her. She also feels happy at the moment...but this kind of happiness is really like walking on thin ice, and I don’t know when it may fall into the abyss.

Even Yufeng's eyes were a little confused and said a little melancholy: "I guess you have heard of my second princess."

Su Yiqing nodded: "The one who died of illness before crossing the door. I heard that it is your cousin. You childhood sweethearts must have a deep relationship, right?"

There is really no emotion. This man would not look like this when he mentioned this cousin.

Lian Yufeng sighed long: "That's right, she is very good, smart, kind, beautiful and gentle, and knows everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. As you said just now, in the eyes of ordinary people, she is a flawless and perfect woman, a good wife that all men in the world dream of. What's even more rare is that she has deep affection for me and has no regrets."

Su Yiqing lowered her head slightly and said to herself, but you have let her down. Since there is such a flawless and affectionate childhood sweetheart, you shouldn't marry someone else.

Even Yufeng knew what Su Yiqing was thinking and said lightly: "I was not thinking about some things back then. I was also a normal man. I had such a gentle and beautiful cousin who was deeply in love with me. If I didn't feel moved at all, it would be fake, but it was more touching. My situation was very difficult. It was rare to have such a true person who loved me so wholeheartedly. But I didn't want such a wife. Such a woman had a fatal weakness.

, gentle and kind, from a certain perspective, is weak and innocent. In my situation at that time, how could I have such a weak wife to harm others and myself? But no matter how she said that, she didn't understand, she was in poor health, and was very thoughtful, and she could get sick if she had anything to do. I didn't dare to stimulate her too much, so I just dragged it on. At that time, there were already many women around me. I dare not say that I deliberately made myself famous for her, but I hope she could give up because of this."

Su Yiqing could imagine that this was probably a girl like Lin Daiyu, but Lian Yufeng was not as innocent as Jia Baoyu. Later, she probably thought that Lian Yufeng went on a mission to Dajing and married her. I wonder if he had a moment of hesitation in his heart for the weak and affectionate cousin when he decided to marry her.

Lian Yufeng sighed: "After I came back from Dajing, I thought she should marry her. After all, she is not young anymore and the girl's family can't hold her back. But who expected that she was still waiting for me, and she would die if she said she was forcing her to marry her. Who would dare to force her to marry her? Unless she really wanted her daughter to die, who would dare to force her? In this case, no one dared to marry her, so she would just wait until I came back."

Su Yiqing didn't know how to evaluate this woman she had never met. Is it a love-infatuated woman to say that she was unfaithful? Obviously, she was not fair to even Yufeng. After all, his situation was very dangerous at that time. If he hadn't planned everything, he would have been a hostage in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even the Yunzhou Rebellion would have been killed by the Great Zhou court. As he said, marrying would only harm others and oneself, and only they were not suitable. Marriage cannot be survived by falling in love, she knew this more than anyone else.

Lian Yufeng stopped for a long time and continued, "Human hearts are made of flesh. In that case, I feel soft, and of course I am not that noble. I have to carry such a burden on my body, and her father said. Her body is really not good. I beg me to give her a title or a way out for her family because of the friendship between the two families and their childhood relationship. Even if she is a concubine, she only wants to stay by my side. Maybe she will be happy after she gets her wish. Maybe her heart will be cured, and if she can't stand it... it won't hinder me or something.

What can I say when I get to this point? Just think about it, there is no need for a concubine. Just marry her. If she can't stand it, it doesn't matter. If she can really stand it, I'm happy. After all, the relationship between the Ning family is also a prominent family. Marriage has many benefits for me. I don't want to marry her just because she is not suitable to be the Princess. I think it's appropriate and... I lose my favorite one, so it's the same for anyone to marry. It's not bad to do it, but I never expected that this would become her death talisman."

When Su Yiqing saw Lian Yufeng's shameful look, she immediately guessed that this cousin Ning must have not fulfilled her wish. She was extremely happy and grabbed his hand and gently snatched it to comfort her.

Lian Yufeng glanced at her and said, "Can you guess what's going on?"

Su Yiqing nodded, "I have experienced a lot of this kind of thing. In order to grab a good marriage, the big family has used strange tricks and will fight to the death. They are not like family members. After you come back from Dajing, you are no longer the idle prince who was despised by others. Otherwise, Ning's father would not have said that he would let his daughter be a concubine. I believe that many people want to grab the position of the princess."

Lian Yufeng smiled bitterly, "Yes, I think it's easy to think that the Ning family is famous, but the inside is dirty. Even if she is loved by her father, what if she is loved by her biological mother? Her biological mother died early, and the backyard is not a place for men to interfere in everything. I also investigated your family background back then. I also know a little about some of the things about Yuanping Bo Mansion. The battles in the mansion may have taken strange tricks, but the purpose is the same. For money and for the benefit, the unmarried girl is just for a good kiss... She died, and her own sister's hands, palms and backs, and those who shouldn't die were dead. She had to take care of the living and family reputation first. Her father wanted to cover up this matter, or wanted to climb this marriage, and wanted to marry her sister."

The beauty was desperate, Su Yiqing sighed and continued to hold Lian Yufeng's hand, "You must be very sad, right?"

"Yes, I'm very sad." Lian Yufeng looked at Su Yiqing's eyes and said to himself, "Everyone knows that I am sad and rejected the Ning family's proposal to marry another daughter, and married her tablet."

Everyone knows that Su Yiqing's eyes moved and she unconsciously let go of Lian Yufeng's hand.

Lian Yufeng smiled faintly and said self-deprecatingly: "Have you guessed it again?"

Su Yiqing was silent. Yes, Lian Yufeng was not a person who suffered a loss. He was very good at taking advantage of the situation. Since he knew about this and did not make a fuss, he must have gained great benefits from it. He used the death of a girl who was deeply in love with him... It was really despicable.

But how can I say this? He also has his difficulties. He did nothing and for no reason he was borne a debt of conscience. If I don’t kill Boren, Boren will die because of me.

Being loved is happy, but being loved blindly without caring about it is wrong to accept it or not.

Since the harm has been caused, it is still a smart person to seek benefits as compensation. If you feel guilty, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but this is too dark.

"Do you think I'm despicable?" Lian Yufeng laughed at himself again, "It's okay, I think so myself, let alone outsiders."

"It's a bit, but..." Su Yiqing murmured, "Actually, I've done something similar."

Su Jinming's incident involved several lives. Although she did not take the initiative to seek benefits, she knew the truth and concealed it, as if nothing had happened. In order to protect people related to her or to maintain a peaceful life, in a certain way, she could also gain benefits from it.

After saying this, she saw Lian Yufeng's slightly surprised gaze.

Su Yiqing showed a self-deprecating that was exactly the same as Lian Yufeng's previous one: "Is it a surprise?"

"No, I just... I just didn't expect that someone like you could be forced to such a point." Lian Yufeng replied sincerely. "I always thought that the dispute over the inner house was not that big, and if I had a broad mind, I wouldn't have any problems. It seems that I was wrong."

Su Yiqing smiled faintly, "Because of the small, a single conflict can be enlarged to ten, and the smallest result is a lot. Those small conflicts accumulate, resentment is no less than the hatred of killing the father. Many things are trivial in the eyes of outsiders or men, but not for women. Even some trivial things that seem insignificant in a few years are unbearable at the time. In such an environment, people will inevitably become selfish, and the more serious it is their distorted personality."

Su Jinming is really innocent. Just because Xu is not at a loss at all, he is so destructive. It is obviously an avoidable tragedy. Su Jinming is a gentle person and he gets along well with Su Jinxu. People like Su Jinxu cannot have any jealousy. She is a girl's family. If her husband's brother is promising, she will make her husband's family value it even more when she gets married.

If Xu could see it openly. If he calculated the benefits that Su Jinming would bring after his prospects, he would not express so much unwillingness, Mrs. Zhou would not... Her path would be easier.

"Little conflict? For example?" Lian Yufeng noticed Su Yiqing's sadness, but did not open up the topic and asked seriously.

Su Yiqing whispered: "The man is looking for flowers and willows outside, thinking that he is just a show. As long as he doesn't take it home, it's okay, but it's very sad for the woman. He hates the fireworks woman who has never been masked, thinking that it is a vixen, they seduced their husbands... It can't be said that women are stingy. Men are unhappy. They can have various ways to relieve themselves, find brothers to drink, ride horses, and devote themselves to work. Women can only ignore random thoughts in a narrow yard. People they don't want to see are swaying in front of themselves like unfair souls, enduring the provocations of their parents-in-law and sisters-in-law, concubines and other people, and even those servants pointing their fingers behind their backs. How can they bear it?"

"Is this why you wanted to escape?" Lian Yufeng asked softly.

Su Yiqing nodded and then said sadly: "At that time, I was too naive and I thought that the life of the Duke and Marquis' Family was too terrible. Generally, small families would never have such a thing. I thought it would be fine if I left... Destiny is really strange."

If they didn't leave, they might have had fewer twists and turns, but it's hard to say that after all, it would be embarrassing if she came back with him. Empress Xu and others would not let her go easily. The most important thing is that if she didn't leave, she wouldn't meet Zhao Boyang again. In any case, she still hopes to pull him when Zhao Boyang is in a downturn. Even if they are not successful, she doesn't want him to be so depressed and die in a small place in a downturn.

Seeing that her expression was a little wrong, even Yufeng changed the subject and said, "Don't go too far. Going back to the topic just now, do you still think I deserve a flawless good wife?"

"It's okay." Su Yiqing looked at Lian Yufeng's extremely handsome face and said, "The prodigal son turned around and was not exchanged for gold. The world's standards for men and women are different. Women cannot take a wrong step. As long as men do not make mistakes in major festivals, they can be tolerated. Even if you act absurdly before, as long as you want to repent, there is still a flawless good girl who is willing to marry."

But the woman couldn't do it. She added in her heart that she and Zhao Boyang could not be together because she felt that she was not worthy of him. She, a modern person, should not think so, but even in modern times, divorced women still have to be discriminated against. When asked Zhao Boyang, he would definitely say he didn't mind, but which man really doesn't mind, but sometimes love can tolerate everything, plus he feels guilty. (To be continued.
