Chapter 031: The Winged King's Banquet
In the Luofeng Courtyard, Huaizhu whispered to Princess Zhuang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Princess, those two snakes didn't kill Wen Miao, but they scared her into the water, and it was really her fate. ”
"It's exactly what the princess wants," Zhuang Hanxue pinned a jade earring to her ear and said, "This time it's just a warning to their master and servant, don't get so close to the prince." By the way, I will give Concubine Long another 'little favor'. ”
"That ignorant Wen Miao must have thought that Concubine Long did it," Huaizhu said proudly: "In this way, she will definitely hate Concubine Long, and she will be able to become your sword in the future." ”
"Heh," Zhuang Hanxue put down the earrings in her hand and said faintly: "That Long Yu'er wants to fight with this princess when she has a good skin, I really don't know how many catties and taels I have." ”
"Find a box and send these earrings to Youlan Temple, and bring two more boxes of ginseng by the way. ”
Huaizhu took the earrings and stepped back.
After Wen Miao fell into the water, Cheng Jingjing felt that she seemed to be a different person, but she couldn't say anything wrong, just because she was too frightened and hadn't recovered.
I heard that Prince An had sent someone to investigate the matter, but there was no follow-up, and I don't know if I found out who the person who released the snake was.
On this day, King An's Mansion received an invitation, it turned out that the birthday of Prince Yi was approaching, and he wanted to invite Yang An and his wife to the mansion for a simple banquet.
Thinking that the two brothers hadn't seen each other for a while, Yang An asked his subordinates to prepare a few generous gifts and bring them over together.
In the Youlan Courtyard, Cheng Jingjing, Yuexi and Huabian were warming up by the stove, and Wen Miao next to him was busy preparing winter boots for Prince An.
"Hey, have you heard, there was a serial murder case in this capital recently, and there was a lot of panic outside!" Yue Xi suddenly whispered.
"So cruel?" Cheng Jingjing's eyes widened instantly, and she asked curiously: "What else have you heard, tell me about it." ”
"I heard that the murderer especially likes to attack women, as if because his wife ran away with the rich man, he picked on the young ladies and ladies of those rich families, and the three poor people were cut off when they died, and now everyone does not dare to go out at night. ”
After listening to what Yue Xi said, they couldn't help but tremble, but fortunately, there were many guards in this Anwang Mansion, and ordinary thieves couldn't break in.
"Ahem, don't be afraid," Cheng Jingjing patted her chest and said, "I've been learning martial arts with the prince for a while, if I run into that bad guy, I will definitely be able to protect you!"
"You are a girl, don't be in the limelight," Wen Miao glanced at her reproachfully, and said to everyone: "Since it is so dangerous outside, except for going to the Yiwang Mansion with the prince tomorrow night to celebrate his birthday, the three of you can't sneak out anymore." ”
"I won't go tomorrow night," Cheng Jingjing made the charcoal fire in the stove and said slowly: "I've been menstrual these days, and I don't feel well and don't want to move around more, so you can help me talk to the prince." ”
"However, Lord Wing asked you to come over by name. ”
After listening to Wen Miao's words, Cheng Jingjing stopped what she was doing and asked her, "Who said that?"
"The prince told me that day," Wen Miao said, "The prince of Yi is noble, you better not be petty, it's better to go with us." If you don't go, it will damage the prince's face. ”
Cheng Jingjing snorted before nodding reluctantly.
The next day, the people of Anwangfu came to Yiwangfu in a carriage, followed by a small car that carried congratulatory gifts, and five or six luxurious carriages drove on the street, attracting the attention of many passers-by.
This time, the Wing King only held a simple family banquet for his birthday, and there were no other guests except Yang An and his party.
"Although today is the birthday of this king, but next month is the death day of this queen mother, so I don't want to do a big deal, don't be weird about the second brother?"
In the lobby, Yang Yi sat in the master's seat and smiled at Yang An below.
"The third brother is too worried, this king has always disliked noisy banquets," Yang An said, "This kind of family banquet with only relatives is very good." I brought some light gifts today, I don't know if the third brother likes it or not, so I asked someone to buy it casually. ”
Hearing this, Cheng Jingjing couldn't help muttering in her heart, and bought it casually, just that red coral was enough for her to eat for a few lifetimes. These princes really like to speak modestly.
"Second brother, this king wants to ask you for a gift, I don't know if it's okay?" After drinking a glass of wine, Yang Yi suddenly asked.
"Although the third brother said, as long as it is within the power of this king, he will give it to you. ”
Seeing that Yang An readily agreed, Yang Yi looked at Cheng Jingjing, who was standing behind Wen Miao, and pointed at her and said, "Second brother, can you marry this girl to this king?"
Everyone looked at Cheng Jingjing for a while, and the whole lobby was extremely quiet.
At this time, Cheng Jingjing's face was red and green, she thought that she had no debt to Yang Yi, but she didn't expect that the other party was still obsessed with the previous things.
"Sister Wen, you girl is terrible," at this time, Long Yu'er, who was sitting opposite, said deliberately: "Being favored by the third prince is a good thing." In the future, you will be a princess, but don't forget to go back to our Anwangfu often, how can it be regarded as going back to your mother's house?"
At this time, no one dared to say much except her, and everyone held their breath and waited for Yang An to respond.
"Is the third brother serious?"
Hearing Yang An's words, Cheng Jingjing felt a panic in her heart, was she really going to be married to Yang Yi?
"This king likes this girl very much, is the second brother willing?" At this time, Yang Yi said half-jokingly, no one knew if what he said was true.
Yang An's answer was unexpected, and he said unhurriedly: "This king can't fulfill your wish." A gift is a gift, a man is a man, and if a person is given away as a gift, won't the world laugh at the cruelty and ignorance of this king?"
"Hahahaha!" Yang Yi suddenly burst out laughing, he raised a glass of wine and said to Yang An: "The younger brother just made a joke with the second brother, but I didn't expect you to take it seriously." Come on, come on, this king will punish himself with a glass first, you are free!"
Everyone looked at each other, thinking that these three princes liked to joke and tease people, but only Cheng Jingjing understood in her heart that what he said just now was true, and he was testing Prince An.
Fortunately, Prince An does not have any relationship between men and women, and he does not have to face him with emptiness.
Just when Cheng Jingjing thought she could breathe a sigh of relief, Yang Yi continued: "Second brother, you are a good girl who can sing and dance, and I heard that she is still dazzling at the emperor's birthday banquet, why don't you ask her to dance a song for this king, and it will be regarded as a birthday gift?"
never thought that Yang Yi would humiliate himself like this, Cheng Jingjing didn't wait for Yang An to speak, she stood up on her own and said, "Lord Yi looks down on slaves and maids so much, so I'll give you a sword dance." ”
