Although Wanrong said her life was difficult, she still did not have the courage of Wenxiu. She would rather live in seclusion in Zhang Yuan all day, living a life of being resented and scolded by her husband, than dare to break through the feudal ethics and walk out resolutely.
A queen's divorce not only means separation from her husband, but also a break with her natal family, which makes her truly lonely.
She cried for half the night and fell asleep just before dawn. When she woke up, it was already noon.
"Mother, it's time for lunch." Cui Huifu walked in and said.
Wanrong hesitated and asked: "Is he... okay?"
Cui Huifu said: "The emperor is still angry. He said he doesn't want to eat. I have asked my servants to bring him the food."
"Oh, when will this day end?" Wanrong sighed, "I am quite envious of Wenxiu. I heard that she is very comfortable being a teacher."
Cui Huifu was shocked and said: "My Lady, please don't imitate Concubine Shu, you are so rebellious!"
Wanrong asked miserably: "Then what do you think I should do?"
"It's better... we should obey the emperor and don't make him angry." Cui Huifu was also helpless. She was morally loyal to the Qing family, but emotionally she was attracted to Wanrong. The two were good sisters who talked about everything.
Wanrong smiled bitterly and said: "Why don't I want to follow him and make myself uncomfortable for nothing?"
Cui Huifu changed the subject and said, "My dear, your eyes are red from crying. Please dress up. I'm going down first."
Wanrong walked to the dressing table, looked at the person in the mirror carefully, and was in a daze for a long time before starting to dress up. She cried so sadly last night that she finally slept with her clothes on, and there were a lot of tears on her clothes.
After washing up, Wanrong went back to her room to change clothes, but she didn't notice that the window was open.
The house where Puyi lived was the residence of Zhang Biao, the former Qing admiral. Next door was the residence of Duan Qirui's brother-in-law Wu Guangxin (former army chief).
In Wu Guangxin's house, a male servant was cleaning the room when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the beautiful figure in the window next door.
The manservant forgot about the work at hand and couldn't help but walk to the window and stare at Wanrong opposite. Seeing Wanrong changing clothes, with both of her white arms exposed, the manservant's eyes shone and he drooled with greed.
Unfortunately, Wanrong only changed her coat and did not take off her clothes completely, which disappointed the male servant.
"Who?" Wanrong sensed the voyeuristic gaze and immediately turned her head to look.
The manservant was so frightened that he quickly ran away, but Wanrong still saw him wearing blue clothes.
Wanrong felt that she had suffered a great shame and humiliation, so she ran downstairs and said to Cui Huifu: "There is someone wearing a helmet in the Wu Mansion next door. Let me change my clothes!"
"That's unreasonable!"
Cui Huifu was loyal to the former Qing royal family, and Wanrong was part of the royal family. Someone peeping at Wanrong was tantamount to humiliating Cui Huifu.
Without reporting it to Puyi, Cui Huifu immediately summoned the eunuchs and guards and went straight to the door of Wu Guangxin's house to investigate.
"Bold slave, give me out immediately!" Cui Huifu shouted.
The people in the Wu Mansion didn't know when, but the male servant panicked and hurriedly discussed it with the servants he was close to.
Wu Guangxin's housekeeper came out and asked, "Miss Cui, what can I do for you?"
Cui Huimu said: "There is a guy in blue clothes in your house who is spying on my queen, please hand him over as soon as possible!"
"Haha, let me ask for you."
The butler smiled disapprovingly and went back to ask the servant: "Who was spying on the Queen just now?"
In fact, it is easy to trace. Whoever is cleaning the room opposite Wanrong is naturally doing it. The valet also knows this, and he kneels down and says: "Master Lin, help me!"
"What are you afraid of? Stand up!" Butler Lin ordered the other servants, "Let me all put on blue clothes."
After everyone had changed into blue clothes, Butler Lin took them to the door and said to Wanrong and Cui Huifu with a smile: "I have brought all the people in blue clothes in the house. Queen, please identify who they are."
Peeping."
Wanrong hesitated: "I...I didn't see clearly."
Butler Lin spread his hands: "Then there's nothing I can do."
"Be bold!"
The chief eunuch scolded angrily: "You slave, you dare to play tricks with our family! You even dare to deceive the emperor and queen."
A courageous servant said: "Now that we are in the Republic of China, there is no emperor or emperor. We are not afraid of you people, let alone your arrogance!"
Wanrong and Cui Huifu were trembling with anger, but they had no choice but to go back and report to Puyi.
Puyi was also angry. Even a few servants could bully him. He immediately slapped the table and stood up. Then he sat down in frustration and said in frustration: "Call the police."
The people from the patrol room came quickly. At Pu Yi's strong request, the patrol officers entered Wu's house to search for people. They were instantly dumbfounded. All the servants in the house were wearing blue clothes. They had no idea who to arrest, so they could only do it without success.
return.
Puyi was also very generous and rewarded each patrolman with a silver dollar. The patrolmen left laughing and discussed without hesitation:
"I heard that the queen's body was completely exposed. Why don't I have that kind of eyesight?"
"If you want to get addicted to your eyes, you can quit your job and work as a servant in the Wu Mansion."
"No, it's great to be a patrolman. After receiving the salary, you can go to the court lady. Isn't that more enjoyable than peeking at the queen?"
"That's right. Women are the same even when the lights are turned off."
"But if you let me sleep with the queen for one night, I will lose a few years of my life!"
"Hahaha……"
Listening to the chatter of the patrol officers, Wanrong was so angry that her whole body trembled. Not to mention the dirty words, they actually compared her to a prostitute, which was even more humiliating than being peeped at.
Puyi turned blue with anger and scolded Wanrong: "What are you doing standing here? Why don't you go back quickly? You haven't lost enough face!"
"You didn't go to those patrol officers to discuss it, and you still yelled at me?" Wanrong stood dumbfounded on the spot, in disbelief.
Pu Yi ignored her and said to the eunuchs and maids: "Close the windows from now on. If this happens again, I'm asking for you!"
"tie!"
The eunuchs and maids knelt down to receive orders.
"Haha," Wanrong was extremely disappointed and looked at Pu Yi and sneered, "You still want to be the emperor, but you don't even dare to mess with a few servants and police officers. What kind of emperor are you?"
"Shut up!" Pu Yi shouted. He didn't want to stay at home any longer, so he went to play with Duan Hongye. Although Mr. Duan only knew how to coax him, Pu Yi felt very comfortable. At least Duan Hongye gave him face.
Wanrong was sitting at the dinner table. She didn't cry, but her tears couldn't stop flowing down. Cui Huifu was beside her, helping to wipe away her tears. They wiped away the tears again and again, but they couldn't be wiped away.
After a long time, Wanrong said leisurely: "Sister Fu, if I leave Zhang Yuan, will you follow me?"
"Your Majesty, you don't want to..." Cui Huifu was horrified and advised, "My Majesty, Concubine Shu's divorce has already hit the emperor hard. If you leave again, he will go crazy!"
Wanrong smiled bitterly: "He has gone crazy, and we are two different people in the palace. Sister Fu, if I leave Zhang Yuan, you will still choose to follow him, right?"
Cui Huifu was silent.
Her father had no heirs, so she swore never to marry and took her sister to serve the Qing Dynasty. When she first came to Zhangyuan, she admired and respected Puyi, but as time went by, she only respected the title of emperor.
.
Puyi himself really has no personality charm. Cui Huifu is a talented woman from Tianjin who is as famous as Lu Bicheng. She has a quick mind, a photographic memory, and is proficient in poetry and songs. Such a smart woman has long seen through Puyi's true nature.
Cui Huifu stayed in Zhangyuan just to keep her promise. The sisterhood between her and Wanrong was real. Historically, Wanrong was under house arrest in the Northeast, and Cui Huifu was always with her.
With Cui Huifu's intelligence, she has already seen that Wanrong is unfaithful, and it is difficult for her to be caught in the middle. Morally, she does not want Wanrong to leave, and emotionally, she agrees with Wanrong to escape the sea of suffering.
After thinking for a long time, Cui Huifu said: "I can't leave. The emperor still needs someone to take care of him, otherwise he will not be able to survive."
Wanrong begged: "Sister Fu, I can't leave Zhang Yuan casually now. Please help me send a letter to Mr. Zhou at the "Ta Kung Pao" office, and then find a way to take me out!"
Cui Huifu did not agree or refuse, so she acquiesced.
