274 The big fish takes the bait
The prince broke in all the way, Pei Hou looked at him in surprise, a trace of cold mockery crossed her eyes, and she said, "Why don't you report it?" The prince was shocked, then lowered his head, bowed and saluted: "See the queen mother!" ”
Ying Chu next to him just looked at the prince quietly, cleverly hiding the contempt in his eyes.
Yes, contempt, the prince obviously felt this, I don't know when he could faintly perceive Ying Chu's contempt for himself, this contempt is the look that only a superior person can have when he looks at a weak and incompetent person, a little Ying Chu actually looks down on the crown prince of the dynasty, but it is just relying on the queen mother's preference for him! The prince's heart swelled with endless anger, he looked at Ying Chu coldly, turned his head disdainfully and said, "If the queen mother has anything, she can discuss with me, why bother to find outsiders!" ”
Ying Chu is Empress Pei's henchman, it can be said that he is a staff member, and what cannot be discussed, what the prince said is just anger. Pei Hou smiled coldly: "Discuss with you?" Do I give you less chance? Trust again and again, but how do you repay me? Worse than useless! How can you still make me believe you? ”
A trace of anxiety passed over the prince's face, he quickly covered up this feeling, and said respectfully: "Queen Mother, the son knows that he is wrong, and he will definitely obey the persuasion of the Queen Mother in everything in the future, and he will never make a mistake again!" ”
Empress Pei was already tired of hearing these words, she knew that the prince was not incompetent, but she didn't have much experience in this kind of trickery, so she would always be caught by Li Weiyang's trap, so she recruited Ying Chu, and in this regard, Ying Chu would not disappoint her. As for the crown prince...... We should focus more on government affairs, and don't let King Jing take advantage of the loopholes. So, she just waved her hand and said, "No need! I'll discuss these things with Lord Ying, you can go back and think about how to please your father, and leave the rest to him! ”
The prince's face was even more ugly than just now, he knew that what Empress Pei said meant to let him retreat, but he stubbornly stood in place, not moving, and his lips were almost stretched into a straight line. Empress Pei's gaze gradually became more indifferent, she glanced at Ying Chu who was standing quietly and solemnly next to her, and said, "Ying Chu, you retreat first!" ”
Ying Chu smiled slightly, saluted Empress Pei and the prince again, and then slowly retreated. The moment he closed the door, his gaze fell on the prince's back again, and there was a strange mockery in his eyes, and then the door closed gently.
The prince was shocked, and subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of the door, and then turned his head and took two quick steps forward: "Queen Mother, why do you believe such a person?" ”
Pei Hou said coldly: "He can do things for me, so I believe him." ”
The crown prince's eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes were resentful: "Queen Mother, don't you know what people outside say about him?" He has done a lot for you over the years, but his methods are too vicious, and it will only ruin your reputation as a queen mother! ”
Empress Pei smiled faintly, but there was no concern in her expression: "Fame? Does the Pei family still have any reputation to speak of? ”
When the prince heard this, he was almost speechless for a while, only to hear Empress Pei say coldly: "I have already instructed you, just take care of your own affairs, and don't be embarrassed by Yingchu everywhere." ”
The prince's heart became more and more angry: "When will I be embarrassed by him? ”
Empress Pei shook her head, and a touching chill appeared at the corner of her mouth: "These days, haven't you done too much?" ”
The prince was shocked and raised his head suddenly: "Queen Mother, what do you mean by this?" ”
Empress Pei looked at the prince's gaze with obvious sarcasm: "In the past half a month, you have tried every possible way to set a trap to kill Ying Chu, but unfortunately they have failed, do you think you can hide it from me?" ”
The prince's eyes were extremely surprised: "Me? The son doesn't have a queen mother! ”
Pei Hou sneered: "You have always hated him, and you have been planning to kill him, this is not a day or two, why bother." ”
The prince was even more nervous and said, "This is really nonsense! Queen Mother, did you listen to the nonsense of this villain, how could I kill him for no reason? I'm willing to confront him face to face, let him look me in the eye and talk, I've hurt him! ”
Seeing that the prince was not verified, Empress Pei sighed: "Bring all the things up." ”
Hearing Empress Pei say this, the female official next to her immediately withdrew from the outer hall, quickly took a tray and came in, and knelt down respectfully at the feet of Empress Pei, Empress Pei lifted the silk covering the tray, the prince's eyes widened, and there was a very square folded bloody coat on the tray and a dagger that was shining with cold light but still stained with blood.
Empress Pei's tone was cold: "Look at it, what is this!" At this time, the female officer opened the bloody clothes, and only saw a hole in the chest, and there were dried blood spots on it. Pei Hou said: "The assassin is a master, he pierces the heart, and the direction is not bad at all. ”
The prince's eyes wandered, but he didn't dare to speak.
Seeing that he was so afraid, Empress Pei sneered: "This is the person you sent to assassinate Ying Chu ten days ago, but unfortunately you couldn't kill him in time, but killed his servant, this bloody clothes and dagger are physical evidence!" As she spoke, her face finally became gloomy, and she looked at her son coldly: "In addition to this incident, there is also five days ago that you ordered someone to poison the tea soup that Ying Chu used to quote, such a thing is not very glorious, if you still want to quibble, that bowl of tea soup is still there!" Do you want me to make it hot and you can drink it to me on the spot? ”
The prince's teeth chattered: "Queen Mother, is there really someone who wants to kill Ying Chu recently?" I can assure you that I definitely didn't do it! I just didn't like him, and I didn't want to kill him! ”
Empress Pei disagreed: "Killing Ying Chu is just a trivial matter, but you can't even kill people, what can you do?" Where did the confidence come from and come here to ask me to trust you? ”
The prince lowered his head, his body had already begun to tremble, and there was almost nothing to hide in Empress Pei's gaze, and when Empress Pei's eyes became fierce, it seemed to be a fire, and the person in front of him was burned into a ball. She took a deep breath, knowing that harshly reprimanding would only cause a fierce backlash and strong hatred from the other party, so she slowly exhaled her breath and said, "I know you have always disliked Ying Chu, but what did he do to make you insist on killing him, which also makes me really incomprehensible!" ”
The prince gritted his teeth and said: "That person is very cunning, he always slanders in front of the queen mother to alienate me!" ”
Empress Pei frowned and said, "What's wrong with you?" Ying Chu has never said such a thing! ”
The prince's teeth even gurgled: "Queen Mother, not only that, in addition to sowing discord and alienating the relationship between our mother and son, he even secretly hid your veil!" ”
As soon as he was halfway through his words, Pei's expression changed violently, and she said angrily: "Prince, you have to pay attention to your words and deeds!" ”
The prince also realized at this moment that he had said the wrong thing, and he lowered his head with a stiff face. Over the years, what he hated most about Ying Chu was the other party's inexplicable thoughts about Empress Pei. I still remember that he was only seven or eight years old at that time, one day when he entered the mother's harem but saw Ying Chu talking to his mother, he hid behind the curtain for a while and listened to what they said, Pei Hou just lightly instructed Ying Chu to get rid of a courtier next to the emperor, but after Ying Chu agreed, when Pei Hou left, he picked up a piece of cloth that Pei Hou inadvertently fell on the ground, sniffed it quietly, and then stuffed it into his arms. That disgusting, disgusting, and salivating expression, the prince still remembers to this day. Since that day, he has always been disgusted with Ying Chu, and later he learned that Ying Chu said in front of Empress Pei that he, the prince, was just a false appearance, and he couldn't bear the responsibility, and the prince couldn't tolerate the other party even more!
Every time he thought of this, he felt like a man's back. During the period when Ying Chu left Dadu, he also sent countless people to assassinate him, but unfortunately none of them succeeded! Now that he has finally returned to Dadu and returned to his mother, he now has more opportunities to do it himself, but he didn't expect to be sued by him to the queen mother. The more the prince thought about it, the more he hated, and he couldn't help but hang his head and say nothing.
Empress Pei looked at the prince, her eyes were quiet, so deep that she couldn't see the love clearly, and finally she just said, "Okay, you go out." ”
The prince raised his head and looked at his mother, the other party's expression was so indifferent, and he did not have the slightest care and love for his son from his mother, and he could not find any love that belonged to his mother in her for many years...... A flash of sadness flashed in the prince's eyes, and then he turned and gently retreated.
At this time, in the Guo Mansion, Leng Lian came to visit Li Weiyang, Zhao Yue greeted him and said with a smile: "Miss is choosing clothes." ”
Leng Lian walked in all the way, only to see that the room was full of luxurious and rich furnishings, and the demeanor of a generation of wealthy families was vividly displayed in the inconspicuous mountains, and even she, a lady who was favored by thousands of people in the Dali Palace, couldn't help but look staggering.
Li Weiyang was ordering people to take out all her clothes, and now these clothes are neither hung in a large cupboard, nor folded in a cabinet, but all contained in vermilion lacquered wooden plates, each wooden plate contains three sets, there are twenty or thirty wooden plates, all carefully held by the maidservants, one by one to Li Weiyang, like opening a silk shop, as if the clouds in the sky have fallen in this room.
When Leng Lian saw the clothes on the wooden plate, she only felt dizzy, and her eyes were dizzy, as if she had seen pieces of colorful clouds, and it was almost impossible to distinguish them carefully, because there were so many gorgeous materials like the glow, there were so many and too many beautiful, and the number was simply innumerable!
Li Weiyang smiled and beckoned to Leng Lian and said, "I'm worried about what I should wear today, come, you pick one for me." ”
Leng Lian walked forward with a calm smile, and she laughed softly: "Jia'er, you have a lot of clothes!" ”
When Leng Lian was in the palace, she would send someone to buy clothes every season, and most women in the world were always like this, and they would not dislike their own clothes. But at that time, there was a rule in the palace that she could not surpass the queen and other high-ranking concubines as a concubine. Those women are all old and decrepit, and their faces have decayed, so they have always liked light clothes, and Concubine Lian had no choice but to streamline her clothes and pretend to be simple to please the emperor. At this moment, seeing that Li Weiyang had so many clothes, she couldn't help but be taken aback, and then thought that this Guo family was really rich and rich, and it was no less than the pleasure in the palace.
Li Weiyang lowered his bright eyes and smiled slightly: "This is just a part of my clothes, in fact, now I don't know how many clothes, shoes, necklaces, and earrings I have, so every time I pick clothes, it gives people a headache!" ”
At this time, Zhao Yue said appropriately on the side: "Miss, your clothes are about a hundred, and your shoes are not much, only thirty or forty pairs." Li Weiyang smiled as if surprised: "Really? So many? ”
Zhao Yue smiled even sweeter and said: "This is just this season's clothes, Miss adds new ones every season, and she has to throw away the old ones, otherwise ten big houses won't fit it!" ”
Leng Lian had already looked along these trays, the robes of the silver mouse, then the gray squirrel, then the fox skin, and finally the sable, the sable skin was by no means something that ordinary people could use casually. In most of the capital, except for the female dependents of the ministers of the three grades, the rest of the official daughters are not allowed to abuse it, so when they wear mink fur for the daughters of famous families, the daughters of other ordinary officials can only wear fox skins, no matter how rich their families are, they can't boldly buy and wear them, this is the rule, and it is also a symbol of status.
Leng Lian looked at it from a distance, only to feel that these clothes were so delicate and delicate, and it took a long time to turn around, full of frustration under joy.
Li Weiyang saw Leng Lian's gaze fall on the sable dress, and said with a faint smile: "I remember that you also had a sable skin dress back then, but it was really gorgeous and beautiful!" ”
Leng Lian was touched to the sore spot, and hurriedly smiled and said, "It's all in the past, what are you doing with it." As she spoke, her beautiful fingers subconsciously stroked the sable fur cloak, and her expression showed a hint of envy, Li Weiyang saw it in her eyes, but she quietly chose a dress at random, and said, "It's time for dinner, let's go together." ”
The meal Li Weiyang said was not lunch, but just a tea in the afternoon. In addition to the three main meals, there are two snacks, which are snacks, naturally not as rich as the main meal, but the Guo family is not too casual, since Leng Lian arrived here, there are at least more than ten kinds of snacks served every time. There are so many colors of these things eaten in Guo's house that even Leng Lian's memory can't remember them one by one.
Because Li Weiyang was unwell during lunch today, she didn't eat much, and at this time, Mrs. Guo specially ordered the small kitchen to make stewed duck soup for her. Leng Lian smiled: "I also borrowed your light." She picked up the bowl, tasted it gently, and couldn't help but praise: "This duck tastes good, but I don't know how to make it?" ”
Li Weiyang smiled, looked at the lotus root next to him, and the lotus root smiled and said: "The method of this duck is very simple, first remove the hair, then wash the liver, add some condiments to load it in a porcelain jar, and then tightly cover the lid of the pot to prevent it from going out, so it is steamed with a simmer, steamed for three days, the duck is completely crispy, so crispy that you don't have to cut it with a knife, just use chopsticks to clip it, or you can clip it effortlessly. ”
When Leng Lian heard this, she only felt a little difficult to swallow, she couldn't imagine that Li Weiyang's life would be so luxurious! Li Weiyang smiled, but instead sandwiched a duck skin to her, and said, "Don't look at this duck skin, but it is the most exquisite and delicious part of this bowl of soup." If you don't believe me, try it! ”
Leng Lian reluctantly smiled: "Okay, I'll give it a try." As she spoke, her eyes slipped around the table, in fact, the Guo family's food can also be enjoyed in the restaurant outside, but the Guo family's practice is much more elaborate than outside. For example, the snow fungus used by the female relatives of the Guo family every day is by no means those ordinary things eaten outside, this kind of snow fungus lives on the cliffs, it is not easy to find a good one, and it often costs forty or fifty taels of silver to buy a small spoonful. Ordinary people or ordinary officials want to spend a lot of money to buy it, but they can't buy it, because the best snow fungus has been enshrined in the palace. And the snow fungus that Li Weiyang is eating now was specially sent to her by Concubine Guo Hui.
Leng Lian just felt that it was neither salty nor sweet, and there was no fragrance, but the sourness in her heart spread out for no reason, it was such a precious snow fungus, Li Weiyang just ordered people to put it in chicken juice or other fresh soup to taste.
Leng Lian put down the bowl and sighed lightly: "The so-called thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, probably Jia'er didn't expect that there would be such an opportunity in Dadu, right?" ”
When Leng Lian said this, she couldn't suppress the sourness in her words, in fact, she was originally an extremely smart person, and she should be able to see that Li Weiyang's actions today were clearly deliberately losing her appetite, but when people are down, they often expose the weakness in their temperament.
Li Weiyang had already seen that although Concubine Lian had just entered the palace for the hatred of the country and the family, but gradually she was nourished by the life of wealth, and she had long forgotten that piece of purity, and became a delicate flower that could only survive in the midst of wealth.
Thinking of this, she smiled lightly and said, "Yes, I didn't expect this qiē to be so easy to get!" I can only say that God treats me well! ”
After finishing the meal, the maidservants came up with melons and fruits, Leng Lian was a little surprised, it is winter now, where are the fresh melons and fruits? Li Weiyang smiled and ordered someone to send a handful of watermelon cups, and personally handed it to Leng Lian and said: "It was sent by Yuan Lie, this weather is really unusual, you can taste the difference from the watermelon we eat in summer!" ”
Hearing this, even if Leng Lian was reluctant, she could only take the watermelon cup, opened the lid, tasted it, and immediately stretched her brows and said: "It's really melt-in-the-mouth, very sweet, and the pure beauty of watermelon." I don't know how? ”
Li Weiyang said with a smile: "I heard him dig up the melon pulp in the watermelon together, and then put the diced chicken, ham, fresh lotus seeds, longan, walnuts, almonds, etc. into it and cover it, and stew it with a simmer through the water, and stew it for eight hours. ”
Leng Lian smiled slightly: "It's not just to think, it's not easy to find these things in this season, right?" ”
Li Weiyang just smiled calmly, but didn't say much.
Leng Lian looked at Li Weiyang and forcibly suppressed the envy and jealousy in her eyes, and then she lowered her eyes and said to herself: "It can be seen that everyone has their own life!" Look, in the past, you were just a concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, with nothing, and you were always framed by your mother, and later became the county lord with your own ingenuity, but so what, it's just a good reputation, and life is still not easy! I always thought that I was better than you, but I didn't expect that now it is a day, look at the life you are living now, and then think about me who is helpless, I can only sigh that my life is miserable! Jia'er, you can't forget the past and ignore me! ”
As she said this, her face was full of tears, looking pitiful. Li Weiyang personally took her hand and patted it: "Don't be so sad, according to your beauty, if you want to find someone to rely on to enjoy wealth again, it is also easy!" ”
Hearing Li Weiyang say this, Leng Lian was stunned, and soon showed a trace of vigilance in her eyes, she remembered Li Weiyang's calculations against others in the past, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened, and then carefully thought about Li Weiyang's behavior in the past few days, Leng Lian had a faint thought in her heart. She looked at the other party tentatively and said, "Jia'er, do you have any plans?" We're friends, don't hurt me on purpose! ”
Li Weiyang smiled, but just pushed the watermelon cup in front of Leng Lian, and said, "I naturally won't harm you, if I want to hurt you, why should I raise you with delicious food and drink, and treat you as a guest?" ”
Leng Lian glanced at the watermelon soup, but her smile was a little gloomy, she shook her head and said, "It's a pity that you are too smart, so smart that I am afraid." To tell you the truth, Tuoba Yu was infatuated with you in the past, and I thought you would support him to ascend to the throne and then sit in the position of the queen, but I didn't expect you to give up on him! That's it, you know that Your Majesty never wanted him to inherit the throne at all, but you have been hiding it, making him think that he is sure to ascend the throne, and finally vomited blood in anger, even I, an outsider, think that your methods are too powerful! ”
Li Weiyang shook his head and sighed softly: "Since ancient times, there has been nothing good or evil in the battle for the throne, whether it is Tuoba Zhen or Tuoba Yu, they all have to pay the price for their actions, if they have the ability, the throne is naturally his, if not, they can only give it up, am I obliged to help him ascend the throne?" We are nothing but a mutually beneficial relationship! His ending is in his own hands, and it has nothing to do with me. Concubine Lian, you are too worried! ”
Since arriving at Guo's Mansion, Li Weiyang has never called the four words "Concubine Lian Niangniang", Leng Lian couldn't help but be shocked when she heard this, and then looked around vigilantly, Li Weiyang smiled: "You don't have to be nervous, all the people in your house are my henchmen, and no one knows who you are." ”
Leng Lian breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and said softly: "Then the matter about Xu'er ......"
Li Weiyang said: "I have already sent someone to investigate, Yuan Lie said that there have been some eyebrows recently, but you still need to be patient and wait slowly." ”
Leng Lian nodded, and heard Li Weiyang say again: "In another month, it will be His Majesty's birthday feast, and at that time, the inventory of most capitals will be stricter than in the past, so I'm afraid you won't be able to go out for a long time." Presumably you are also bored in Guo's house, why don't I take you around for a while, otherwise I'm afraid you will really be bored in the house in another month. ”
When Leng Lian heard this, a glimmer of hope appeared on her face and said, "Can I leave the mansion?" ”
Li Weiyang's smile was even gentler, "As long as you are accompanied by me and the guards of the Guo Mansion, what can't you do?" Besides, you can put on a veil, and if others ask, I will say that you are a distant relative of your mother, who came from the countryside, who would have thought that you were the concubine of the Great Calendar? ”
Indeed, it seems like a fantasy to say it. Leng Lian was relieved when she heard this, Li Weiyang looked at her and said with a smile: "Zhao Yue, bring me the three skirts of Begonia Cloud Water Pattern, Pleated Ruyi, and Emerald Pattern Brocade." ”
Zhao Yue was stunned for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Yes." Then she turned around, and finally found the three pieces in a pile of beautiful clothes and brought them to the tray, Li Weiyang pushed the tray in front of Leng Lian and said: "You are new here, and you don't have time to buy clothes for you, take them and wear them first, and I will pick out ten more sets to send to you later, I hope you don't dislike it." ”
When Leng Lian heard this, she couldn't hold back her gratitude in her eyes, she got up and thanked herself: "Thank you for your kindness, I will keep it in my heart!" ”
Li Weiyang smiled, just patted her hand, but didn't say much.
When Leng Lian returned to her room and looked at the three sets of clothes and matching jewelry sent by Li Weiyang one by one, she sighed softly, the so-called Zhong Ming Ding Food House is nothing more than that, but I don't know how rich the royal family in Yuexi should be? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but be faint.
In Li Weiyang's room, he ordered outsiders to withdraw, and Zhao Yuecai said softly: "Miss, what are you thinking?" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of rustling, the window rang, and the two turned around and saw Xu Wang Yuanlie lifting his robe and jumping in from the window at once, with a bright smile as if even the sunshine in the sky was compared to him. He smiled and said, "Zhao Yue, don't you still understand?" Your lady is fishing! ”
Zhao Yue's face was even more puzzled when she heard this, and Yuan Lie's eyes slipped around the gorgeous clothes in the room: "I never see you take out these clothes and make up for them on weekdays, but as soon as Leng Lian came, you ordered someone to clean the warehouse, took out all the clothes that you never wore, ironed them one by one, and then specially displayed them in front of her......"
As he spoke, he walked to a tray next to him, took out a ruby brooch, looked at it carefully, and then threw it aside and said, "And these jewelry, Mrs. Guo and I have given you so much, but unfortunately all of them have been shelved, and you don't want to look at them, and you have taken them out together today, isn't it strange?" ”
Li Weiyang smiled and instructed the lotus root to put away these clothes and jewelry, and then said softly: "Since you all know, why do you still ask?" ”
Yuan Lie smiled: "I didn't ask, the person who asked was this girl of yours!" ”
Zhao Yue looked at the two of them more and more puzzled: "The two masters don't want to sell to the slave and maid, what do you want to do, can you let the slave and maid understand in their hearts?" ”
Li Weiyang smiled: "Zhao Yue, sometimes you can't look at things on the surface, don't you see through the essence of your master?" I invited Leng Lian to come, deliberately showed her these clothes and jewelry, and then asked her to stay and eat with her, of course, to let her know that I was doing well, and that it was a thousand times better than she imagined! ”
Miss is not a woman who likes to show off, Zhao Yue frowned: "Why did Miss do this?" ”
Li Weiyang sighed softly and said: "Leng Lian is very smart, but no matter how smart a person is, she will have weaknesses, especially she is a very beautiful woman, but every beautiful girl always wants to dress herself up beautifully, use her beauty to conquer everyone, and get a qiē." Leng Lian is no different, she was originally a princess on top, but because of the Jiang family, the country was ruined, so she married the emperor without hesitation, even if the other party was much older than her, she was willing to sacrifice herself. At that time, she may have been bent on revenge, but after the Jiang family fell, she could have left the palace, but she did not do so, because she had been moved by the rich life and power of Xuan He in the palace. Once a person has tasted such a day, she doesn't want to live a hard life anymore, so she stays. Even in the face of the threat of Tuoba Yu, she would rather suffer the enemy on her back than persevere to the end, but unfortunately she still lost a qiē in the end! For her at this moment, how to regain power and wealth is the most important thing she wants to consider. ”
Yuan Lie stared at Li Weiyang and said, "Have you ever wondered why she found you?" ”
Li Weiyang held the teacup in his hand, but smiled lightly: "I don't know why she found me, I just know that I should return this hot potato as much as possible." ”
Yuan Lie smiled deeper and said, "If you return it, how can you return it?" ”
Li Weiyang smiled lightly: "Then I have to borrow your restaurant!" When Yuan Lie heard this, he smiled and crooked: "You want to borrow?" Good! Just say a day, the whole restaurant will be given to you! ”
Li Weiyang shook his head and said, "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has often come to your restaurant to feast guests recently, but is it true?" ”
Yuan Lie nodded, and then seemed to think of something, a trace of mockery slipped through his smile, and said: "The threshold of my restaurant is high, the most luxurious, and the guests in the restaurant are even more noble and laughing, and there is no white ding, and it is not strange that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will target it!" I'll pick the right time, don't worry! ”
Two days later, as soon as the prince entered the restaurant, he was immediately welcomed into the private room on the top floor, and the people around him invited beautiful women to dance for him, and persuaded him diligently, the prince was not drunk, and he couldn't help but be extremely angry when he thought of the inexplicable relationship between Empress Pei and Ying Chu.
In recent days, because of Yingchu by his side, the queen didn't look at him, as if she didn't care about his son at all, thinking of this, he couldn't help but be resentful and jealous, it was difficult to describe the feeling in his heart.
The so-called drunk and lying on the knees of the beauty, the power of the world, now King Jing is eyeing him, his position as the crown prince is in jeopardy, and Empress Pei is very cold to him, he doesn't know how long he can enjoy the power and wealth, he can only drink today and get drunk today! At this moment, the entourage entered the private room and reported to the prince: "Your Highness, the queen is invited!" ”
The prince stood up, but he staggered, and said with drunken eyes: "She? What did she tell me to do? ”
The entourage hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, please sober up quickly and enter the palace as soon as possible." Before he finished speaking, he was slapped by the prince's thunderbolt, and the prince said angrily: "Get out!" After saying this, the prince had already opened the door and walked out.
Walked to the top of the stairs but unexpectedly a woman was walking up the stairs head-on, the woman was covered with a white veil, her figure was slender, the prince swept away only to feel like a willow facing the wind, and his posture was extremely beautiful, he was not a disciple, but he was stunned when he saw such a woman, and he couldn't help but have the idea of seeing each other's face. When the woman walked past him, he staggered as if drunk, and tore off the white veil from the woman's face, and the woman turned back in a panic, but the prince was taken aback.
To say that Concubine Lian's beauty is by no means very comparable, when she was presented to the Emperor of Dali, she was known as a fairy, and it can be said that except for Li Changle, who can barely match, no one can compare with her. When the prince looked at it, he only felt that a faint stream of light shone on her snow-colored skin, and the beauty was like jade, and she was absolutely charming. is not only beautiful, but also has a unique charm, even his cousin Pei Baoer, who is known as the first beauty in Yuexi, has no capital that can be compared with her, and he can't help but hold his breath at a glance.
The prince is not a pervert, he just has a unique hobby for beauties, but he has never had this feeling of trembling, and he can't help but be obsessed with it! Seeing a slight panic in the woman's eyes, the prince hurriedly said, "I'm sorry." ”
Seeing that he had no malicious intent, the woman just smiled shallowly, and for a while it was brilliant and flashy.
The servant girl who followed the woman hurriedly covered her with a veil, and hurried all the way to the private room, the prince saw this scene, and couldn't help but stare at her back for a long time, until the entourage hurriedly walked out, the prince whispered: "Go and find out who that woman is!" ”
The entourage was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth wide and said, "Which one is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince talking about?" ”
The prince glared at him coldly and said, "Didn't you see it? It was the woman in front of her who was covered with a white veil and had just entered the private room. ”
After hearing the prince say this, the entourage woke up and hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness the prince, the slave will do it, but you must enter the palace to see the queen!" ”
The prince sneered and said, "The matter between our mother and son, when will it be your turn to take care of the slave!" Just do what I tell you to do! Saying that, he had already turned around and was about to go downstairs, but he saw Xu Wang Yuanlie and Li Weiyang walking side by side, both of them were smiling, the prince's face was cold, and then he put on a gentle smile and walked up like a spring breeze.
"Did you two come to this restaurant too?" In fact, the prince already knew that this restaurant belonged to King Xu, but he didn't expose it in public, seeing King Xu's face change, the prince sneered in his heart, and he said in his heart I know this is your restaurant, but I have to disgust you!
Yuan Lie regained his calm expression after a while, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Prince, and he was disappointed!" ”
The prince only smiled back, his eyes turned to Li Weiyang, and saw that she was also pink, her eyes were like glass, her dress was light and elegant, and she had a touching attitude, but in the prince's opinion, this woman's appearance was really not superb, at least compared with the stunning beauty just now, it was still far behind, but he didn't know why this Yuan Lie was staring at her, and even the prince's delicate appearance couldn't be seen. The prince couldn't help but sigh softly, the so-called flowers into their own eyes, this is really not forced, thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced in the direction where the beauty disappeared.
Li Weiyang saw this scene, but said with a faint smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walks slowly." With that, she had already gone upstairs with Yuan Yeol.
The prince walked to the center of the stairs, but glanced suspiciously in their direction, and by this time the attendant who had gone to inquire had already come over and whispered back to the prince: "Your Highness, that woman...... The slave had already inquired, saying that it was Mrs. Guo's distant relative in the countryside who had come to take refuge on purpose. ”
The prince's eyes became deep and said: "Distant relative, who is she deceiving!" With such a look and appearance, how could he come from the countryside! There must be some reason for this! He thought about it, and suddenly showed a trace of excitement in his eyes, if this woman was really related to the Guo Mansion, then it would be more challenging for her to get into the Mansion, and maybe she could dig up many secrets...... Thinking of this, a sneer slipped across his lips, and he whispered to the entourage: "From today on, you will keep an eye on the Guo Mansion, if that woman goes out alone, come and report to me quickly." ”
When the entourage heard this, he couldn't help but be startled and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I'm afraid this is not appropriate!" ”
The prince slapped him mercilessly, and scolded him in a low voice: "Do as I say!" No one will know about it, and if it reaches the ears of the queen mother, I will be the first to cut off your dog's head!" ”
The attendant was very frightened, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
In the private room, Leng Lian was a little absent-minded, just now she saw a young and handsome son in the corridor, the boy in a brocade robe and jade belt, his eyes were bright, and he was not a mortal at first glance with a unique bearing, she thought about it carefully, and almost opened her mouth to ask about the identity of the other party, but after all, she just endured it. Li Weiyang is a very powerful person, if the other party perceives his thoughts, he is only afraid that he will be coerced by her......
Li Weiyang watched the singing and dancing, and looked at Leng Lian with the rest of his eyes, obviously seeing her uneasy, but he smiled faintly, as if he didn't notice it.
Yuan Lie just diligently prepared refreshments for Li Weiyang, and didn't take anything else to heart, but made Leng Lian suffer, she couldn't stand it at all when she sat there, until the song and dance stopped, and the dancers all withdrew, Li Weiyang asked softly: "Leng Lian, you are a dancer, did you see how well these people danced just now?" ”
Leng Lian was thinking nonsense just now, and she didn't go to see this song and dance at all, but when she heard Li Weiyang ask like this, she slurred a few words, and finally smiled: "This restaurant is really luxurious, there should be a lot of dignitaries and nobles coming and going." Although she asked Yuanlie what she said, her eyes were looking at Li Weiyang.
Li Weiyang smiled, naturally knowing who she was asking, but she just said to him: "Indeed, many people who come and go here are children of wealthy families. But he didn't say any more. Leng Lian was a little anxious, but she knew that Li Weiyang was a person who was good at observing words and feelings, and she should not show the slightest abnormality in front of the other party, otherwise she would fall into the handle and be caught by the other party. She is also very clear about Li Weiyang's reasons for taking her in, she knows a lot of things that are inconvenient for outsiders, Li Weiyang will never rest assured that she will be left outside, and pulling her into Guo's mansion is just a means of surveillance! The two of them said they were friends, but in fact, they were almost partners, and Concubine Lian had done bad things about Li Weiyang, so she must be three points wary of herself.
Thinking of this, Concubine Lian's smile became even more beautiful: "Yes, just now there was a gorgeously dressed boy in the corridor who accidentally knocked off my veil, I was really shocked!" She said this, but she lowered her eyes and lowered her head to arrange the hem of her skirt, and the smile was obviously absent-minded, as if it was just a casual mention.
Li Weiyang saw it in his eyes, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he slowly spoke: "The one just now, do you know who he is?" ”
Leng Lian raised her head involuntarily, but she felt that her expression was too eager, so she quickly restrained herself by two points, and just said lightly: "Oh, I know that it is a dignitary, but it has the bearing and demeanor that ordinary people never have, I don't know who it is?" ”
Li Weiyang glanced at Yuan Lie, and Yuan Lie immediately smiled and said, "It's His Royal Highness the Prince of Yuexi today!" It's just that he is light and obedient today, and he doesn't have any guards with him. ”
Hearing him say this, Leng Lian was stunned: "His Royal Highness the Prince, how is this possible?" ”
Li Weiyang personally poured a glass of wine for Leng Lian, the wine was bright and transparent, and the faint fragrance lingered on the nose, but Leng Lian's eyes were not vigilant. Li Weiyang smiled: "What's impossible!" ”
After floating in the palace for a few years, she is as cunning as a fox, and she can feel the slightest abnormal movement. Leng Lian suppressed her uneasiness, and said with some embarrassment: "I didn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so young. Before she finished her words, Li Weiyang automatically made up for her: "Not only is she young, but her appearance is also excellent, and I heard that she is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Wen Taowu strategy." ”
Leng Lian couldn't help sighing in her heart, such a person turned out to be the prince of the dynasty, thinking of the kind of hot eyes he looked at her just now, her heart was hot, and then it cooled down again, the other party is the prince, and what about herself? It's just a pawn that can't help itself.
Li Weiyang looked at her with a strange expression, but he just smiled and said: "Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is surrounded by beautiful women, there is one main concubine, and there are four side concubines, not to mention countless beautiful concubines, but they are not very favored. ”
When Leng Lian heard this, a trace of realization flashed in her eyes, she looked at Li Weiyang, and forced her expression to be cold: "Really?" ”
It was clear that she was encouraging Li Weiyang to continue to speak, but what kind of person Li Weiyang was, she knew that if the hook was deep, the other party would be suspicious, and if it was shallow, the other party would not take the bait, so she just turned her gaze to Yuan Lie and said, "Why don't you serve the food?" ”
Yuan Lie couldn't hold back a laugh, and immediately stood up and said, "I'll arrange it, and the two of you will wait." With that, he was already smiling and leaving.
Leng Lian couldn't help but feel anxious when she saw that this topic had diverged, Li Weiyang turned her head and said with a hint of regret in her smile: "It's a pity, I saw that the way he looked at you just now really seemed to be very intentional, but your identity ......" Li Weiyang said this, but he showed an unspeakable look.
Leng Lian was shocked, and said thoughtfully: "Yes, if he knows my identity, I'm afraid he will be surprised!" ”
