Chapter 113 – Qing Transmigration Tale (22)
No matter how gentle Eighth Prince was, his expression was very ugly right now. Even if he was just taking a concubine, it was good news. Why were they making such a fuss? For so many years, these brothers had princely ladies, and took concubines. Each family would have such an event each year. But he had been married almost ten years, and he only held the party once, but they were making trouble.
These brothers disliked him, and purposefully urging their wives to make trouble.
Eighth Prince could not help but think in this direction.
Ten’s princess consort was able to whip the willow branch like a real whip, and Ten, such a failure, only dared to hide behind his brothers, not even speaking to stop his princess consort. Fourteen was still in the water, and did not dare to come close. Fourteenth Princess Consort was crying and gritting her teeth. He likely was a bit afraid. Drunk women could not be reasoned with.
He, an older brother-in-law, could not control his sister-in-law. So he found his own princess consort in the crowd.
Eighth Princess Consort was leaning against the tree by the lake and did not come forward. Eighth Prince said, “Princess Consort, quick, stop Sister-in-law.” You are the female host, could you just watch? Where did your usual smoothness and cleverness go?
Eighth Princess Consort had drunk too much, and was leaning against the tree because she was unable to stand up. She also wanted to vomit. When Eighth Prince called her, she felt wronged.
She swayed as she slowly walked. Eighth Prince saw this and hurriedly went to reach to support Eighth Princess Consort. “How come you drank so much?” Just as he finished, Eighth Princess Consort felt an urge to vomit and vomited all over Eighth Prince’s chest. Eighth Prince unconsciously released Eighth Princess Consort’s hand. A drunk person was unable to stand up. Eighth Princess Consort felt down on her bottom.
Now it was bad. Eighth Princess Consort’s tears came down. “Yin Si! I followed you for so many years. Now a new person has just entered the family and you hit me. I will not live……”
Eighth Prince was thinking of cleaning up the mess on his clothing and was shocked by Eighth Princess Consort’s shout. Who had hit you? Who touched you? So many people were watching. You dare accuse people wrongly like this?
He could not think of how to explain when he heard Nine howl.
He turned back to look and saw Ten hiding behind Nine, and Tenth Princess Consort’s willow branch was whipping on Nine.
Nine could not shout at a sister-in-law, and he could not even hope to depend on Ten.
He heard Ten say, “Princess Consort, we return home. How about we return home? Do not embarrass ourselves here.”
“You disdain me for being embarrassing?” Tenth Princess Consort said and swung the willow branch again.
This was no way to reason with her.
Nine shouted, “Eighth Brother, where are the grannies of your establishment, call them to pull them apart.”
Fourteen shouted from below, “Do not call them, do you not find it embarrassing enough?”
Nine thought this was right. The men were pressured by women to this degree, it was not good for people to see. Otherwise, they would be too embarrassed to see other people. He wanted to hide too, but Ten did not dare to expose himself and did not let go of him. He had no place to hide.
The only one he could seek help from was his princess consort. He hurriedly said, “Princess Consort, you come here, pull Tenth Sister-in-law away.”
Ninth Princess Consort rolled her eyes. Would it not be good to hit him too? But she still walked over. As she walked, she said, “Ye, you get up there. If you get up, Tenth Prince is not able to hide, and Ye will not be hit as well. Tenth Sister-in-law is strong, and I am not able to pull her away……”
“Where do I go……” Ninth Prince turned and there were the stone benches built up from the pavilion’s inner walls. He decisively stepped up. Outside was the lake water. Ten had no place to hide. Ha-ha…… Ye‘s princess consort was very clever.
Ninth Princess Consort smiled and said, “Ye, I will help you.”
Look at this princess consort, so clever. In the establishment, she did not show it, but now, when she was out and compared to others, he gained face. He immediately decided that tonight, regardless, he would rest in Princess Consort’s room.
He held Princess Consort’s small hand. He had never felt that Princess Consort’s hand felt so different. Just as he was thinking so well, he felt Princess Consort fall towards him. He immediately lost his balance. He was standing on the stone bench, and Princess Consort blocked his way down. The banister on the other side reached his calf. If he fell, it would be the water below.
After swaying a few times, he finally caught hold of Princess Consort’s hand. But the hand suddenly released him, and he immediately fell in head first. The moment he fell down, he thought, Princess Consort did not do it on purpose, Princess Consort did not do it on purpose! She did not do it on purpose! Dang, she must have done this on purpose! Women’s hearts were the most poisonous.
This occurred in just a moment. Everyone thought that Nine managed to escape, but his princess consort got him to fall into the lake with a smile.
Fourteen saw his ninth brother appear, with mud on his head, and laughed. Finally, someone was as embarrassed as him. He immediately felt that this was nothing. Was this not just being tormented by their princess consort? Who would laugh at each other?
Ninth Prince wiped the mud from his face, and pointed at his princess consort. Before he could even start to curse, his princess consort was full of tears. “Ye, are you all right? It is this consort’s fault.” Then, she even wiped her eyes with a handkerchief.
He was about to erupt in anger, and then felt that this princess consort was not right. She usually was very aloof, but right now, when she was crying like this, it was very awkward. Suddenly, he realized. Was this not how his concubine Liu-shi looked like? Full of tears in her eyes, halting in speech and very bashful. Last time, she had damaged Princess Consort’s child seeking bodhisattva. She had been like this, crying that “it is this concubine’s fault”. Back then, what had he said? He seemed to have said that the princess consort was petty.
Thinking of this, he immediately felt guilty and did not dare to shout at the princess consort. “Nothing! It is cool down here. It is fine!”
He had been tripped down here, and he said it was fine. The brothers had learned something.
But him saying it was fine was not fine. His brother was watching from the side. Fifth Prince was immediately unhappy. Nine was a bit muddle headed, but his princess consort was lawless.
He looked back and saw his princess consort look at him with a faint smile. He did not dare to call his princess consort, afraid of being tripped up. “Fourth Brother, call Fourth Sister-in-law to settle them. This is not good.” Fourth Brother was always authoritative, and Fourth Sister-in-law would listen to Fourth Brother. He praised himself for his cleverness.
Si Ye was pondering right now, have I done anything bad recently? When Fifth Prince asked him this, he was a bit dazed.
Fourteen down there seemed to have remembered that he had his brother and sister-in-law.
Look at Fifth Brother, how much did he care for Ninth Brother? I do not hope to get the same treatment, just half would be good. His princess consort was watching from above like a hungry wolf. She was very frightening.
He hurriedly shouted, “Fourth Sister-in-law! Fourth Sister-in-law! Save me.”
Now you remember that I am your sister-in-law. Lin Yu Tong slowly walked into the pavilion. Tenth Princess Consort and Fourteenth Princess Consort looked over.
Fourteenth Princess Consort said, “Fourth Sister-in-law, you will try to soothe me?”
Lin Yu Tong did not speak and handed over a teacup from the table.
Fourteenth Princess Consort held it and said, “Fourth Sister-in-law, I am not thirsty.”
Lin Yu Tong said, “I know!” She raised her chin in the direction of Fourteen.”Get him!”
Everyone was stunned. Even Eighth Prince and his wife pulling around outside were shocked.
Would someone urge a couple to fight like this?
Everyone could not help but look at Si Ye. This was your wife. Are you not going to control her?
But before Si Ye could react, Fourteenth Princess Consort’s teacup was thrown down.
“Wanyan-shi, you want to kill your husband.” Fourteen burrowed into the water.
Si Ye hurriedly pulled Lin Yu Tong back. “We are going home. Ye sees that you drank too much and is confused.”
Lin Yu Tong nodded. In any case, they had started to fight. So she would return.
Si Ye thought, this was one who wanted to watch the spectacle.
“Four, do not go.” Third Prince watched the situation here and was at his wits end. If Four was gone, who will take care of this?
“Third Brother is here?” Si Ye shot back and said, “Third Brother, you can take care of this. You see it, my princess consort is drunk.”
Nonsense! How was she drunk? Fourth Sister-in-law was the most clear-headed. Her steps were not uncertain, and how calm she was when telling to hit Fourteen.
Third Prince immediately said, “This older brother cannot look after so many people on my own. My princess consort is not capable.”
Third Princess Consort was not far away and definitely heard the words. She leapt over with a shout, grabbing Third Prince’s clothing and then hitting him. “I am not capable. If I am capable, my Hong Qing would not have died! You see the evil spirits in the inner courtyard as beautiful, but I see them as painted skins who eat people. You return my son, return my Hong Qing……” Her voice was full of grief.
Third Prince originally wanted to break free and pull away, but when she cried, it hit him in the heart. Who did not hurt over the death of the eldest son? Princess Consort insisted that it was due to the women of the inner courtyard. But the people who would do this were concubines who had sons. Hong Qing was already dead. Would he have to pay with his other sons? On this matter, he was very guilty!
People felt sorrow at such cries. The princess consorts felt very bitter and the sobs rose.
Fifth Prince was struggling to pull Nine up. Fifth Princess Consort thought of how he did not come to her rooms, and disdained her for not being able to have children. She immediately had courage and evil intentions. She charged and raised one of Fifth Prince’s feet. Fifth Prince originally had been on his tiptoes. When he was pulled and his balance thrown off, it was not difficult at all to push Fifth Prince into the water, along with Ninth Prince who he had almost pulled out.
Lin Yu Tong turned her head away. The scene was so beautiful she did not dare to look.
But when she looked over this way, she saw Seventh Prince sitting there embarrassedly. He was about to stand up to see how the people who had fallen in were. Just as he took a step, Seventh Princess Consort stretched out a leg. Seventh Prince had a bad leg, and with this trip, he just fell down. He even dragged down Twelfth Prince who went to pull him. Twelfth Princess Consort virtuously said, “Ye, I will help you.”
She reached to help, and then pushed as well. Twelfth Prince fell on Seventh Prince.
Seventh Princess Consort laughed coldly, “You deserve it!”
Thirteen looked at his princess consort standing docilely at the side. For no reason, he felt a bit trepidatious. Thirteenth Princess Consort grabbed Thirteen’s sleeve. “Ye, I will not hit you.”
Thirteen saw that his princess consort was a bit tipsy and found it amusing. You will not hit Ye? You have to be able to hit.
But before he could laugh, his expression froze. Princess Consort’s hand felt to his waist, and she pinched and twisted around, first three hundred and sixty degrees to the left, and then three hundred and sixty degrees to the right. The soft flesh of his waist hurt.
She was so daring, she had grown in ability!
Si Ye looked around. The couples were all fighting. He could not manage them. Without a word, he put Lin Yu Tong on his shoulder, and walked away.
Stop embarrassing yourselves here. If you want to fight, close the door and fight at home.
The servants of Eighth Prince’s establishment watched from a distance, suppressing their smiles. These imperial princes were just the same as ordinary families.
Si Ye did not stop, carrying Lin Yu Tong out and shoving her into the sedan. He said to the servants with a black expression, “Return home.” Then he turned back and said to the servants of Eighth Prince, “Go invite Commandery Prince Zhi. Say that something has happened, and he needs to take charge.”
The imperial procession was still beyond the passes. The emperor did not plan to return to the capital and was going to stay in Rehe for a while. He had sent Commandery Prince Zhi and Thirteen back to pay respects to the empress dowager, and also to see the situation of the capital. So, Commandery Prince Zhi should be present. He was the big brother. If he did not take charge, who would?
At this time, Lin Yu Tong was bounced in the sedan. Her not-drunk mind grew even more clear. This matter had gone over the line.
So when they reached the establishment, she closed her eyes and did not wake up.
Si Ye saw her eyelashes tremble and knew everything. Now she knew regret.
She had ruined Eight’s good wedding banquet.
He could only carry Lin Yu Tong back. On the way, people were given a fright. What had happened?
Granny Yuan saw Lin Yu Tong being carried back and ordered the servant girls, “Call for Physician Su, see what is wrong with Princess Consort?”
Si Ye shook his head and said, “No need, she is just drunk.”
Then he carried her into the inner room and placed her on the bed. “No need to serve, all of you leave.”
When there was no one in the room, Si Ye laughed coldly. “Will you wake up on your own, or should I wake you up?”
Lin Yu Tong thought, I will not get up. Get up for what? To listen to you lecture me?
Thinking like this, she felt Si Ye’s hand come over and unbutton her clothes.
Lin Yu Tong rolled on the bed and hurriedly opened her eyes. “Ye, what are you doing?”
“I think that you do not learn, tomorrow, you will dare to hit Ye too?” Si Ye said and pressed down.
Lin Yu Tong was vicious and suddenly rolled up, pushing Si Ye down and sat on top of him. The challenge in her eyes was very clear. She took the chance to pull open his half buttoned robe, and reveal a fine chest.
“You want to go against the heavens!” Si Ye struggled to try to get up. Lin Yu Tong pressed down on him and he truly was helpless.
The two rolled around in the room, and did not do anything else except have fun. They forgot the matters of Eighth Prince’s Establishment.
They did not care, but someone had to take charge.
Commandery Prince Zhi got the message from Eighth Prince’s Establishment.He asked, “What do you mean it is chaos? How is it chaos? Who told you to come?”
The steward said, “They are fighting. Fourth Prince said that he cannot take charge, and to invite Your Highness.”
The men had gotten drunk and started to fight?
Not able to.
Three and Four could not control them. The emperor and the crown prince were absent. Who would control these imperial sons? Other than him, no one else was able to take charge, and no one would dare to.
He did not dare to delay, and rode his horse to Eight’s establishment.
On the way, he asked the steward, “Fourth Beile told you to get Ye, where is he?”
“He carried Fourth Princess Consort away,” the steward said in a whisper.
Commandery Prince Zhi was stunned. “Carry? What is with Fourth Princess Consort?” The women had been affected?
Had Eighth Sister-in-law made a fuss because Eight was taking a concubine? Fourth Sister-in-law had been accidentally wounded? It was not possible.
The steward’s mouth moved. He wanted to bury his head in his stomach. “If you enter and see, you will know.”
Commandery Prince Zhi walked with the steward, full of questions.
He almost thought he had went to the wrong place.
Eight and his wife were a mess, pulling at each other outside the pavilion.
Ten was crouching, almost climbing the tree, while Tenth Sister-in-law was swinging around a willow branch.
Seven and Twelve had fallen to the ground. Were their princess consorts helping them or pushing them down? In any case, they were not helped up.
Three and his wife were fighting and pulling at each other. Third Princess Consort was crying so hard she almost could not breathe. Three’s eyes were red. Was he sad? Or was he crying from the fight?
Five, Nine, and Fourteen were in the water. Nine and Fourteen’s princess consorts were throwing things, handed to them by Five’s princess consort.
Only Thirteen and his wife looked normal, but they kept on making little movements.
It was not the brothers fighting, but the couples fighting.
This group of failures!
“What are you doing?” Commandery Prince Zhi shouted. “What are you doing? Where is your decorum?”
Commandery Prince Zhi was the big brother. His younger brothers still feared him and all stopped.
“All of you, you are so accomplished? How can you hit women? And also your own princess consorts. No matter how angry you are, you cannot hit women. When you return, you can teach them. Have you not heard of the saying ‘teach your sons in public, and your wife in private?’ You are all so capable to hit your wives!” Commandery Prince Zhi lectured.
Who hit their wife? Was it not her hitting me? Big Brother, do you have eyes?
Ten said, feeling wronged, “Big Brother, I did not……”
Commandery Prince Zhi glared. “You dare to argue!” Idiot, hitting your wife and being hit by your wife, which sounded better?
If it spread that your wife whipped you, would people not laugh?
Ten was stupid, but Eight was not. He hurriedly nodded and said, “Big Brother is right. Us younger brothers drank a bit, and lost our composure.”
Ah! This was a clear minded person.
“All right, take your princess consorts back to your home. Do not make a fuss again. If Ye learns who dares to hit their princess consorts, careful that I will truly get a whip and beat you,” Commandery Prince Zhi left after speaking, suppressing his laughter.
When he returned to his establishment, he finally could laugh as he wished.
Eldest Princess Consort asked him what had happened. Commandery Prince Zhi told her. “This group of failures, unable to even control their wives.”
Eldest Princess Consort snorted coldly, flinging the curtain and entering the inner room.
“Where are you going?” Commandery Prince Zhi wanted to find a person to share in such a funny matter and asked when Eldest Princess Consort left.
Eldest Princess Consort’s voice came from inside. She said, “Finding wine?”
“You just ate, why find wine? Ye may laugh at their misfortune, but will not use wine to celebrate,” Commandery Prince Zhi responded.
“Ye will not drink, I will,” Eldest Princess Consort said.
“Why drink?” Commandery Prince Zhi said in puzzlement.
“If I am drunk, I can beat Ye.” Eldest Princess Consort’s voice came clearly out from the inner room.
Commandery Prince Zhi’s smile immediately froze. “Um……”
