Chapter 1183 [The Glory of Tang Dynasty 10]
An Lushan imprisoned his son An Qingxu in his home prison and tortured him until he was tortured to the point of being bruised and dying. An Lushan forced An Qingxu to immediately leave for the capital to meet with his informant there, and to obey the informant's orders and fully assist Zhenzhu in finding Shen An. However, An Lushan made it clear that he would not allow An Qingxu to interfere in how to place Shen An after finding him.
Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Zhenzhu and Cui Caiping married into the Guangping Palace together. Cui Caiping was arranged to live in the Liuli Pavilion, while Zhenzhu lived in the Wenjin Pavilion.
On the wedding day, as soon as Cui Caiping stepped into the bridal chamber, she could not wait to take off the red veil on her head, and then ordered the maid Ziyuan beside her: "Ziyuan, go and get me some food!"
Seeing this, Zi Yuan tried to dissuade him with difficulty: "Master, it seems inappropriate for you to lift the veil so soon, right?"
Cui Caiping waved her hands nonchalantly and said coquettishly, "Oh, what does it matter? It doesn't matter whether you open it early or late. Good Ziyuan, your master is starving now. He hasn't eaten anything all day!"
Zi Yuan had no choice but to respond, "Okay, Master. I've just asked Zi Han to prepare food, it should be delivered soon."
Before she finished speaking, Zi Han came in with a basket of food. She complained angrily, "Master, you don't know how bad the people in the kitchen are! I went to ask them for some food, but they said they didn't have any. I was so angry! In the end, I had to buy it myself."
Seeing this, Cui Caiping quickly asked with concern: "Zi Han, did someone bully you?"
Zi Han shook her head and said indignantly, "Master, no one bullied me, but I just can't stand the faces of those people. You have already married into the Guangping Palace, and they are still looking down on you. It's really too much! I really feel sorry for you."
Cui Caiping smiled and consoled him, "Okay, Zihan, this is not the Cui residence after all. We are new here, so it is inevitable that we will encounter some unpleasant things. After a few days, when I am familiar with the environment here, I will help you vent your anger."
Zi Han looked at Cui Caiping gratefully and said, "Thank you, Master. Your words make me feel much better."
At this time, Zi Yuan placed the dishes on the table one by one. As it was late, she specially prepared some easily digestible noodles and a few refreshing side dishes.
Cui Caiping was already starving, and when she saw the food, she couldn't wait to sit down and wolf down the noodles. The noodles tasted delicious and the aroma was fragrant, so she couldn't help but praise: "Delicious... This must be your cooking, Zihan?"
"Yes, because they refused to do it, I did it myself, it just took some time." Zi Han said.
After hearing this, Cui Caiping smiled slightly and said softly: "It's okay, I'm not that anxious."
However, at this moment, a servant beside him suddenly said, "Your Highness, you look drunk. Why don't you go to the Glazed Pavilion and rest for a while?"
As soon as these words came out, the originally calm scene suddenly became tense. Li Chu's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and he stared at the servant with a flash of anger in his eyes.
Obviously, this servant must have been bribed by Cui Caiping to make such a suggestion at this time. Li Chu's anger was instantly ignited, and he shouted angrily: "Does this king need you to say anything more?"
The servant was so frightened that he trembled all over and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy, muttering: "Please spare my life, my lord. I know I was wrong!"
At this moment, He Lingyi hurried over. Seeing this scene, she quickly said to Li Chu, "Your Majesty, calm down. This servant is also kind-hearted. Please don't bother with him."
Li Chu snorted coldly and ordered the guards around him: "Drag this ignorant person out, give him forty strokes of the cane, and then drive him out of the palace!"
After receiving the order, the guards dragged the servant out without mercy, leaving only the servant's miserable cry for mercy echoing in the air.
After dealing with the servants, Li Chu was still in a bad mood. He turned around and looked at the Glazed Pavilion, only to see Cui Caiping sitting there leisurely eating noodles, as if she didn't see Li Chu.
Li Chu walked into the Glazed Pavilion, waved his hand and said to the others in the room: "You all go down."
Zi Yuan and Zi Han looked at each other, but did not act immediately. Instead, they stood there quietly, their eyes fixed on Cui Caiping.
Li Chu's face became even uglier when he saw this. He said in a more serious tone, "Why, no one listens to my orders?"
However, Cui Caiping seemed not to have heard Li Chu's words at all. She continued to eat noodles by herself, ignoring Li Chu's presence. She waved her hand and asked Ziyuan and Zihan to go out first.
"Master, we'll take our leave now." Zi Yuan and Zi Han said, then pushed the door open and went out.
"Why, is this how you control Lady Cui? I have been standing here for a long time, didn't you notice? Such an unruly servant should be sold off, why keep her as an eyesore!" Li Chu's face was as gloomy as water, and he said in a cold voice.
Cui Caiping raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and angrily retorted: "They are members of my Cui family, how can you, Your Majesty, sell them at will!"
Li Chu sneered and said, "Is Lady Cui trying to play hard to get with me? She first sent someone to invite me here, and then poisoned the wine. Is this how the Cui family teaches their children? Or is Lady Cui relying on the power of your uncle and aunt to bully others?"
Faced with Li Chu's questioning, Cui Caiping simply stopped defending herself. She raised her jade hand lightly, fiddled with her hair nonchalantly, and said casually: "Your Highness, you may think whatever you want." After that, she was too lazy to even look at Li Chu again. She turned around and sat down beside the dressing table and began to take off the pearl and jade headdress on her head.
"You..." Li Chu was a little angry. What was wrong with Cui Caiping in front of him? Was she coming up with a new way to attract him? But he would not be fooled. After all, she was Yang Guozhong's niece, and he would never like her.
