Chapter 180: Lord Fuguo
Qin Sang is a man of few words, but he works very hard.
Princess Jingse was very satisfied with Concubine Cheng's understanding, and the Queen Mother also praised Concubine Cheng for her good way of disciplining servants.
Concubine Cheng won the favor of the princess and the empress dowager. Although the emperor still had some estrangement in his heart and never summoned her to sleep with him, her position in the palace became increasingly stable.
Qin Sang was about to leave with the empty bowl of medicine, but Jingse thought of something and stopped her.
"Qin Sang, Balzhuer will be here soon. Tell him that I am not feeling well and I will not see him today."
Qin Sang said yes obediently and stepped back.
The Baljur that Jingse mentioned was none other than Sebuteng Baljur of the Khorchin tribe.
He had been studying and practicing martial arts with the other princes in the palace since he was young. Although he was not handsome, Balzhuer was born in a noble family, was gentle, and seemed very honest.
The emperor just appointed him as Duke of Fuguo some time ago, so he will surely have a bright future.
Everyone in the palace knew that the emperor respected Mongolia and treated Balzhuer with courtesy and appreciation.
After the emperor returned from Songshan and Luoyang, he heard that Jingse had become more and more arrogant.
With the Queen Mother's repeated suggestions, the Emperor intends to find a husband for Jingse as soon as possible. When she reaches the age of marriage, he will send her to marry a good man, which can be regarded as Fu Cha Langya's last wish before her death.
And Balzhuer happened to be the best candidate.
The emperor intended to let Balzhuerduo and Jingse get in touch, but Jingse was unruly and would not give face to anyone.
Every time he met Baljur, there were some minor frictions between the two.
Last time, Jingse was bored in the Princess' Palace and insisted on competing in archery with Balzhuer.
Although Jingse also practiced martial arts, he was ultimately no match for the Mongolians on horseback.
Jingse lost and was furious, saying that Balzhuer won unfairly by defeating a woman like her.
Not satisfied with this, he even snatched Baljur's bow and arrow, broke it, and even threw it on the ground and stepped on it many times.
But even so, Balzhuer still smiled and never blamed Princess Jingse at all.
Even though he knew Jingse was angry, he still brought some gifts to the princess's palace every few days in an attempt to please Jingse.
Others said that Balzhuer really loved Princess Jingse, so he was willing to be so tolerant and doting on her.
Outside the princess' palace, Baljur came again today.
"Lord Fuguo, the princess is not feeling well today and is not convenient to see you. Please go back." Qin Sang's voice was soft, but his body was firmly blocking Balzhuer.
Balzhuer knew that Jingse did not welcome him, so he just smiled gently and said, "Okay, then I will come back when the princess is better."
Having said that, Balzhuer turned around and was about to leave.
Qin Sang suddenly gently grabbed Balzhuer's sleeve and said softly and timidly, "Master Fuguogong, I...I have something I want to return to you. Can you let me talk for a moment?"
Balzhuer became curious and followed Qin Sang to a remote place.
Qin Sang looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he reached out and took out a blue cloth package from the cracks in the rockery.
When the package was opened, a small bow and arrow was revealed inside.
It was during the competition between Baljur and Jingse that Jingse broke and crushed the bow and arrow in anger.
However, at this time, the bow and arrow had been carefully glued together and repaired. The traces of repair were very rough, and it was obvious that it was done by an amateur.
Qin Sang said shyly, "Sir, I don't know martial arts, my hands and feet are clumsy, and I can't stick well, please don't laugh at me."
Baljur didn't care about that. He touched the bow and arrows with surprise and relief, which had been repaired with all his efforts but were still covered with hideous cracks.
"I thought the bow and arrow had been thrown away by the princess. I didn't expect you to pick it up and repair it."
Qin Sang raised her eyes, mustered up the courage to look at Balzhuer, and said softly, "I learned by chance that this bow and arrow was given to you by your mother before you came to the palace.
Although it is not expensive, it is very meaningful to adults.
The princess asked me to throw away the bow and arrow, but I couldn't bear it, so I took the initiative to pick it up. Please don't blame me for taking the initiative. "
"How could that be? I should thank you more." Balzhuer stroked the bow and arrow lovingly, and there was a little more tenderness in his eyes when he looked at Qin Sang.
Qin Sang's appearance is not as bright as Jingse's, and can only be considered pretty.
But at this moment, her oval-like tender cheeks were faintly pink, making her look very delicate and graceful.
Balzhuer couldn't help but sigh in his heart, such a gentle, considerate and understanding woman, it's a pity that her status is of low status.
It would be great if Princess Jingse had the same personality.
In the princess' palace, Jingse shielded all the servants and then carefully opened the book.
Jingse was furious when he found that his painting had been blurred by ink.
She simply crumpled the entire painting into a ball and threw it aside.
A slender and powerful hand, with distinct yet smooth joints, picked up the piece of paper.
Unfolding the crumpled paper ball, the man chuckled as he looked at the vaguely visible figure beneath the ink.
"Who made you angry again?"
Seeing the person coming, the anger on Jingse's face instantly disappeared, and she became gentle and shy.
She stamped her feet lightly, turned her back in pretending to be angry, and said in a coquettish tone, "Who else could it be? It's that stinky bearded man from Mongolia.
He looks dull and honest all day long. No matter how you tease him, he looks stupid and dumb. He is not as interesting as the turtle I raise."
The man smiled dotingly and walked behind Jingse.
"What the princess said is quite biased. Although Lord Fuguogong is of Mongolian origin, he is very elegant and has an extraordinary temperament. How can he be considered a stinky man?
However, the princess is of noble status. For you, no man can be worthy of you. "
A few ambiguous sweet words successfully made Jingse laugh.
She smiled and turned around, looking at the man with bright eyes, "In the entire palace, the Imperial Grandmother is not kind to me. Although the Imperial Father used to dote on me, now I don't know if it's because I'm too old, I'm always bewitched by that bitch, the Imperial Concubine.
Apart from the late Empress Dowager, you are the only one who treats me well."
Jingse said, with nostalgia and remembrance in her eyes, "When my brother was on tour to the east that year, he fell into the water and died. The Empress Dowager couldn't bear the shock and suddenly passed away.
If you hadn't been there to guide me, comfort me, and accompany me, I would have died of excessive sadness."
The man's voice lowered a little, "Princess, don't be sad.
That day I saw you standing by the window. The boat was shaking slightly under the turbulence of the water. Your thin figure was like that, and your eyes looking towards the water were filled with despair.
You, the noble princess of the past, who should have been always radiant and dazzling, have become so pale and helpless. How can I not feel pity for you?
From then on, I swore that no matter what happened, I would always be with you."
