Chapter 74: Small-Minded
Qin Tang and Qin Xun felt relieved in their hearts, and Yan Yan Huwei Yan and others were stunned for a moment.
Jiang Shi poked her head from the door. Jiao Ran covered her face with an astonished expression, unable to accept being slapped by a strategist for a moment. Lin Yao, as a strategist, had always been gentle and smiling.
Lin Yao, as a scholar, paid attention to the scholar's style, and getting a concubine's name was simply a humiliation.
Was the Heir Apparent Consort joking? Obviously not.
"Why hit me?" Jiao Ran cried.
"Causing trouble," Lin Yao said: "Implicating us."
Lin Yao changed from his usual scholar's weakness, his face ugly. Jiao Ran, however, had a blank face, not understanding what these words meant. Jiao Ran thought from the bottom of her heart that Qin Bi was joking by pulling the strategists and others, deliberately doing it for her to see.
Rong Yan also stopped laughing, feeling it was somewhat difficult to end.
Qin Bi watched Lin Yao hit Jiao Ran, not caring, and said: "He He Shizi Apparent is not here, no need to compete for favor in front of me. I don't take concubines. When the Heir Apparent comes, you can do it for him to see."
Rong Yan couldn't help but laugh again. It was true, if these were all women, it was highly likely to be a play of competing for favor, but the problem was only Jiao Ran was a woman, and only she wanted to be a concubine.
Lin Yao and others were so angry they were about to explode, their faces ugly.
Qin Bi didn't care, and had the look that as long as Jiao Ran entered the back house, Qin Bi would take Lin Yao and Yan Yan Huwei Yan and others as concubines. Was she joking? Qin Tang looked at Qin Bi's expression and gasped, not joking.
Qin Lang held the child Little Tuanzi, looking from the door of the inner room of the side hall.
"My mother cannot be angry," Little Tuanzi worried.
Qin Lang stopped the child: "Rest assured, your mother is not angry; the one who is angry is someone else."
Little Tuanzi looked, and it was true; the strategists were all about to be angry.
At this time, the atmosphere in the room was very interesting. Qin Lang was so excited he wanted to run out to watch the fun. Qin Tang and Qin Xun were raised by the Marquis Manor since childhood, and it wasn't that they hadn't heard of the back house's means.
A female general like Jiao Ran who had a life-saving grace was the most difficult to deal with, but Qin Bi didn't play according to common sense, doing this, which stunned everyone. Blankness wasn't enough to describe everyone's mood now.
Rong Yan was worried, but couldn't help laughing.
Jiang Xu retreated to the side to watch the fun. The most angry person present was the scholar Lin Yao, and the big and thick guards, the former deputy generals in the army. Putting them in the same position as a concubine who climbed into bed, it would be strange if the men weren't angry.
Qin Bi looked, and one of them wasn't so excited. He had the appearance of a weak scholar, and looking at it, he wasn't a strategist, but also a person with a lot of city government, not as temperamental as the rough man.
Qin Bi caught this one, looked at him and said: "I see you don't look anxious, not as emotionally excited as others. Do you really have thoughts?"
Go, Qin Lang's eyes widened.
Others looked over in unison. This person was stunned, then looked at Jiao Ran. This woman was looking at him with a scrutinizing look, with a guarded expression on her face, obviously worried that a man would snatch the Heir Apparent from her.
Very good, this weak scholar was extremely angry and raised his hand to slap Jiao Ran again.
Jiao Ran covered her cheek and was immediately stupid: "Why hit me?"
Qin Bi was disappointed. This was to end. She hadn't vented yet. She wasn't joking with anyone. There were many people like Jiao Ran. As long as there was such a person around a man, she would jump out sooner or later.
Regardless of whether Jiao Ran's appearance was calculated by others, Jiao Ran didn't appear today, and she would jump out to ask for a concubine position in a few years. Qin Bi had no patience and had to solve it now.
Actually, it wasn't solving, mainly because she hadn't heard of anyone who had to marry someone after paying for them?
In Qin Bi's place, this point couldn't be justified.
Besides, Qin Bi was small-minded. At first, Lin Yao and others indulged Jiao Ran, and she saw it in her eyes, so she definitely couldn't let Lin Yao and others feel better. Regardless of what affection the strategists and guards who had been together at the border had, Qin Bi wouldn't maliciously destroy their relationship.
The affection was different, so if one wanted to be a concubine, everyone could be a concubine.
Jiao Ran felt she was different, but she felt she did a lot for the Heir Apparent, and others didn't do less. If you count the things Jiao Ran did, Lin Yao and Yan Yan Huwei Yan and others were the ones who paid the most.
So, Jiao Ran was last to be a concubine, and running to the front was useless.
Jiao Ran could jump, but Qin Bi wouldn't let her jump the queue.
"Heir Apparent Consort," the thin scholar explained: "I have no thoughts."
Did Qin Bi believe it? She looked at Jiao Ran: "Staying by the Heir Apparent's side, she has thoughts, and you don't? You are no different from Jiao Ran. She looks down on back-house women and prides herself on being able to endure the hardships of the border like you men. Then I will only treat you as soldiers. She wants to be a concubine, and you tell me you have no thoughts?"
Qin Bi didn't laugh, nor did she have the intention to clean up Jiao Ran by borrowing the topic. She was just very fairly rewarding the people around the Heir Apparent, and the reward was the concubine position in the back house.
This person had no way to deal with it, coldly glared at Jiao Ran, and looked at Lin Yao.
Lin Yao also saw it. This Heir Apparent Consort was not an ordinary person. This means he couldn't figure it out as a strategist. It would be fine if taking a concubine was a joke, but he was afraid it would be real.
He gave Yan Yan Huwei Yan and others a look, didn't even eat, Lin Yao said goodbye, and the guards carried Jiao Ran, who didn't want to leave, away.
Lin Yao was behind, bowing to the Heir Apparent Consort: "Heir Apparent Consort, rest assured, women with the same status as us will never be concubines in the back house in their lifetime, and they won't be legitimate wives either."
So, Jiao Ran had to die, and in the future, there would be others who couldn't jump in front of Qin Bi.
Lin Yao was afraid, and Yan Yan Huwei Yan was also afraid. In the future, looking at which female guard had impure thoughts, they would solve it nimbly, lest the Heir Apparent Consort be determined to anger them to death.
This was a cultivation world dominated by fortune and luck. Qin Bi was pregnant, and she said: "Let her return to the border; that place is suitable for her."
Lin Yao was puzzled for a moment and withdrew.
Everyone was gone, Qin Bi laughed, turned to everyone and said: "Everyone is gone, let's eat, the dishes are cold."
The maidservants and nannies took them down to heat the food. Qin Tang and others had enough fun, but became worried. Lin Yao was a strategist and had a high status among scholars. Qin Bi had angered people not lightly.
"Will the Heir Apparent be angry?" Qin Tang asked.
"No," Qin Bi laughed: "Even if Rong Juan is angry, I won't return to my maiden family."
Qin Tang put down the worry for the time being. When the food was served again, he invited Lin Yao to eat. Lin Yao found an excuse not to come. He was full of anger and had to slow down before saying anything. Who was in the mood to eat.
Qin Bi didn't care, greeting her brother and sister-in-law and others to eat.
Little Tuanzi wobbled out and was held by Qin Bi to eat.
Qin Bi was indeed not worried about Rong Juan being angry. Since they were married and had Little Tuanzi, Qin Bi had a count in her heart about how much Rong Juan loved her and Little Tuanzi, but Rong Juan didn't treat her well before, and Qin Bi remembered it.
Being able to anger Rong Juan, Qin Bi was in a good mood. ===== CHAPTER 75 =====
