C307 Awkward

King Qin took the medicine and shook his head: "I have to see the effect first."

"Alright."

King Qin turned around, took the bottle and left.

When he walked to the outside, Liu Wu had already been waiting for a long time. If he could avoid this critical point, perhaps he could become a tyrant.

Liu Wu probed: "Great King, you can just send someone to give this thing to Madame Yue."

King Qin stared at him: "That's all I owe in my life. After finding the medicine for her, she and laozi ended the relationship. "From today onwards, I will not have anything to do with her."

Liu Wu was overjoyed, "That's good."

These days, Yue Pengju realised that his wife's temper was getting weirder and weirder. Initially, he thought his wife was afraid that there would be another woman in the family, so he took the initiative to send Li Qiaoniang off. However, Hua Rong firmly opposed it. He saw that her wife and Li Qiaoniang were talking and laughing together, and knew that Li Qiaoniang had done nothing wrong, too.

At the beginning of April, the imperial government sent out Supreme Commander Zhang Jun. After the change in Miao Liu, for various reasons, Zhao Deji did not activate Qin Gui. Instead, he used Zhang Jun. He was extremely worried about the biggest threat to the s in the courtyard. After sending Yue Pengju out, in order to show how important he was, he asked Zhang Jun to personally supervise them.

Zhang Jun was born a scholar, so he looked down upon all martial arts students. When he saw Yue Pengju, he did not call him "Hubby", but called him by his rank, "Captain Yue Tai is stationed in Dong Ting Yue, how do you use troops?"

Yue Pengju explained his plan. Zhang Jun was very satisfied, and he began to freely share his views.

When Yue Pengju returned home, he told his wife about the situation of the meeting. Hua Rong frowned and said: "Zhang Jun is a man of great ambition and talent. If he was in the Cabinet, he would definitely bring Qin Gui in."

Yue Pengju asked: "How do you know?"

"He cannot be bothered by the opinions of others. Only Qin Gui will be able to see the wind and use it to its advantage, and be good at being welcoming, and will definitely give it what it wants. "

Yue Pengju's chill continued for a few days. Hua Rong had secretly asked the military doctor, and the military doctor said that there were no major issues. She was relieved, and seeing that Li Qiaoniang was deliberately taking care of Yue Pengju, she decided not to reveal herself, and only gave the chance to Li Qiaoniang.

On this day, Yue Pengju returned from his inspection of the military affairs. After a series of cold weather, his body was not feeling well, and his mood was not too good. When he returned home, it was already late, and seeing that his wife was still not home, he frowned.

Li Qiaoniang obediently came over to serve tea and pass the water. She sat down and asked with a frown, "Where has Madam been these days? Why are there no signs of life? "

Li Qiaoniang replied, "Reporting to Hubby, Madame Yue hasn't come back yet." Li Qiaoniang explained as she served the dishes to Yue Pengju. She specially prepared light dishes as food. Yue Pengju was a northerner and liked to eat pasta, so she specially added a kind of sour dumpling.

This was the first time Yue Pengju had eaten such a thing. His appetite was lifted as he asked curiously, "What is this thing?"

Seeing his appetite rise, Li Qiaoniang happily replied: "This is something that Servant learned recently."

Yue Pengju felt that it was delicious, seeing that she was standing at the side, he said: "You eat too."

Li Qiaoniang smiled and obediently sat beside him, she observed him while she ate, but when she saw that he had finished eating the big bowl, she stood up and placed the untouched dumplings in his bowl, and said: "Servant's appetite is small, you can't eat this much, please enjoy your meal, hubby."

Hua Rong quietly stood at the door and watched this "warm" scene, but she saw that Yue Pengju was completely drenched in sweat and was extremely happy, and she did not know what feeling he had in his heart. These days, she had seen too many scenes like this. She suddenly understood what it meant to be in love with each other over a long period of time. If this continued, it would only be natural for Pengju to fall in love with Li Qiaoniang.

After Yue Pengju finished eating the dumplings, he realized that his wife was standing at the door as if she had just returned. She said happily, "Sister Shi Qi, quickly come and have a taste.

Li Qiaoniang stood up anxiously with a respectful manner: "Madam, Servant has left some food for you, I will bring it over immediately."

The two of them sang the same tune, Hua Rong felt like she was an unfamiliar guest. She gave a faint smile and sat down by the side. She only said, "I've already eaten. You don't need to worry about me."

"Oh? Sister Shi Qi, where did you eat? "

Hua Rong glanced at the sour sauce and said flatly: "I ate it in Tan Zhou City. The drunk chicken there is very good. Pengju, you know, I don't really like pasta. "The cave mansion is truly a great place. The food and clothing that we have to eat is truly dazzling …"

Yue Pengju frowned, seeing that his wife had already changed into a light red robe, and had at some point stuck a crystal clear jade hairpin onto her head. Her clothes were bright, and formed a clear contrast with the simple Li Qiaoniang.

Seeing her husband's gaze, Hua Rong laughed disapprovingly: "In the past, when we battled everyday, we did not know that the world was happy. Everyday, I have been watching the beautiful scenery around the courtyard. Tasting all the delicacies here is one of the greatest joys of my life … "

When Yue Pengju heard this, it was even more ear-piercing. Only now did he remember that because of the "Wing Wang", Zhao Deji had once rewarded Hua Rong with two hundred gold taels. Other than helping Li Yian solve the problem with the hundred of gold coins, she had kept the rest of the gold coins and did not use them as military fees.

He had seen all the suffering his wife had gone through over the years. It was normal for his wife to eat and dress well, but when he saw her look at his favorite food with such disdain, especially when she looked at him like a nouveau riche looking at a poor man, he felt very uncomfortable. He didn't know how to reply, so he couldn't speak for a long time.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Qiaoniang obediently went to clean up the tableware, smiled and said, "If Master likes it, Servant will do it again tomorrow."

Yue Pengju said indifferently: "Alright, lower official is from the village. Since you have never seen such fine delicacies, you are fond of this kind of pasta. You've been doing this for the past few days. "

Hearing that, Hua Rong did not say anything, she slowly stood up and yawned: "I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep." With that, she went straight back to her room to sleep.

Yue Pengju saw her charming back figure flash past, and felt even worse. Usually, after dinner, the couple would read a book together and practice their swordsmanship together in the morning. However, in the past few days, Hua Rong had stopped reading and training in the sword. Just like those other rich and powerful generals' wives, she paid particular attention to food and clothing every day. After Yue Pengju joined the army, she came to share the hardships of the army with her soldiers, and his family members also had to lead the army by their bodies. Otherwise, how could high-ranking officials, who ate so much meat everyday and ate too much, lead people to go on a killing spree?

Feeling very uneasy, he got up and followed his wife in, wanting to talk to her.

When he entered the room, he saw that his wife had already undressed and was going to bed. He sat down beside her and held her hand. His voice was extremely gentle as he said, "Sister Shi Qi, the war has been tense for the past few days. I went out every day to check on the situation and convene a meeting. I didn't properly accompany you …"

Hua Rong turned her body slightly, and mumbled: "Pengju, what are you saying this for?"

"Sister Shi Qi, do you feel lonely?"

"No, I eat and drink out every day. I don't know how happy I am. Pengju, I'll take you when you're free. Alas, only now did he know that his past days had all gone to waste. Heh, Pengju, look at my clothes, they are the best tailor in the Tan Zhou City, they are made by the best.

Yue Pengju was completely speechless.

Hua Rong said in a daze: "Pengju, all these years fighting has been tough, look at the style and food of, Zhang Jun and the other generals, you are not inferior to them, you are also a skilful man, a first stage official, don't be too shabby …"

Liu Guang only knew of beautiful women's delicacies, and that he was one of the most famous of them all. Zhang Jun, on the other hand, was extremely rich. He used his authority to rob others and withheld their military pay. He had never fought a proper battle and was a classic example of fleeing after hearing the news. His family's gold and silver was like a mountain of gold and silver. Afraid that the thieves would miss it, he forged them into a silver ball of one thousand silver taels, which was called 'nothing'. It meant that even if the thieves broke in, they would not be able to move them away.

Yue Pengju had always despised the two of them, but when he heard that his wife actually yearned for their glory, he became even more unhappy. He felt it was strange, if his wife was not such a person, he would have slowly said, "Sister Shi Qi, what's wrong with you these days?"

Hua Rong was still in a daze: "After experiencing life and death, I have seen everything. One must enjoy life, not work hard. "

Yue Pengju was no longer able to speak. After a while, he looked at his wife again and heard that she was breathing heavily and had fallen asleep.

He got up and walked out of the room, but saw that the temporary study room had already been lit up with candles.

The current Li Qiaoniang was just like the Hua Rong of the past. How could the change in a human be so huge?

He silently sighed, and said to Li Qiaoniang: "You've worked hard, go rest."

After receiving his praise, Li Qiaoniang was very grateful. Standing with his hands crossed, she whispered: "Servant doesn't work hard. It is Servant's honor to be able to serve Madam and Hubby."

Yue Pengju sat down speechlessly at his desk, and saw that Li Qiaoniang had already laid out her favorite weapon manual. Beside him was a cup of tea, everything was just right.

Li Qiaoniang sheared the candle wick a little brighter before finally standing beside him: "Servant serves my husband and studies hard."

Yue Pengju was upset, he shook his head and said: "Go and rest, I don't need anyone to accompany me."

Li Qiaoniang left obediently, and closed the door carefully after she left the room.

When Hua Rong heard the minute sound of the door closing in his bedroom, she slowly sat up and looked around in the darkness for a while before falling asleep again. It was only until halfway through the night that Yue Pengju finally returned to his bedroom. Hua Rong still pretended not to know. When she opened her eyes in the morning, Yue Pengju had already woken up and went for his morning practice.

The next day was the birthday celebration for the local prefectures. The generals were invited to a simple banquet for their families. Because he had to rely on the State of Zhi Zun for his battle here, when Yue Pengju saw that the rules for the banquet was not too extravagant, he decided to let his wife attend. Because he was in the army, he went directly with the women.

After Hua Rong got up, she walked around outside and saw that in front of Sis GaoSi's door, there were already a lot of women who had changed their clothes. When the Sis GaoSi saw her, she greeted her warmly. As Hua Rong walked over, the gazes of all the female members of the family landed on her body. Since the Ladies's topic was usually only the matters of her children and her wife, Hua Rong had nothing in common with them on these two topics. Especially after Li Qiaoniang came, she avoided greeting these women. As a result, all of the female servants felt that she was too high up in the air, making it difficult for them to get close to her.

Sis GaoSi passionately asked: "Madame Yue, we are inviting you to the State of Zhi Zun's banquet today, are you going or not?"

Hua Rong shook her head: "There's something I have to do, I can't go."
