190 Princes

Concubine Guo Hui obviously didn't take Queen Pei's words to heart, she glanced at her niece and daughter, and said with a smile: "What Niang Niang said is, it's just that this child in my family is beautiful and dignified, even if it is another two or three years, everyone is rushing to ask for it, if Niang Niang doesn't believe it, you can wait and see." ”

This was said softly, but with very hard bones, if others heard it, they would definitely be half angry, but Queen Pei smiled faintly, looked at her with a tea cup and said, "It seems that my sister is confident." ”

Concubine Guo Hui smiled idly, looked down at the emerald armor in her hand, and said, "I don't have any confidence at all, isn't my Guo family's daughter looked down on by others." ”

Mrs. Guo and Li Weiyang glanced at each other, but they were just smiling at the moment, and their expressions were calm.

The female officer Xin beside the queen raised her eyelids and looked at the three people opposite, Concubine Guo Hui's words were prickly, Mrs. Guo's face was calm, but the youngest Miss Guo was smiling, and it was really more difficult to deal with one by one. Between the eye waves, she collided with Li Weiyang's eyes, she seemed to have suddenly fallen into a cold pool, her heart was shocked, and she looked for that gaze again, but she couldn't see it. Female Officer Xin was secretly frightened, how could a ten-year-old girl have such a cold gaze. That look is not an exaggeration to say that it is cold.

The queen took a sip of tea gently, and Fang Xu said: "My sister's words are naturally reasonable, the daughters of the Guo family are thousands of gold, didn't someone say it in the past, the women of the Guo family can't even climb the royal family's children, and Miss Guo really doesn't know where to find a Chenglong fast son-in-law in the future." ”

These words are very weighty, Rao is Concubine Guo Huifei has a tough personality, and her complexion has to change. In fact, the Guo family did have the most glorious era, and it did refuse the marriage of the royal family, and because of this, it has also been guarded against by the royal family and major families for so many years. In order to make the family prosperous for a long time, the Guo family has reached this generation, mainly Taoguang and obscurity, and will not take the initiative in everything, but this does not mean that the Guo family will be bullied. Therefore, in the face of Queen Pei's aggressiveness, Concubine Guo Hui will not hesitate to fight back. But once Queen Pei's words just now spread, others don't know how to talk about Guo Jiagong's high shock.

Seeing that Concubine Guo Hui was speechless for a while, Mrs. Guo smiled and said lightly: "Niang Niang is really holding up Jia'er, but His Majesty understands that we have just recognized our daughter, so I will not mention the marriage for the time being." Whoever is promised in the future is the grace of His Majesty, and the Guo family will gladly obey his fate. ”

"Oh, I see." Empress Pei was not in a hurry, changed the topic and said: "There is a banquet in the palace tomorrow, Mrs. Guo and Miss Guo should also come to participate." ”

Concubine Guo Hui had already come to her senses, and when she heard this, she frowned, but said with a smile on her face: "This ...... I'm afraid it's not appropriate. Jia'er has just entered the palace, and she still doesn't understand the rules of the palace, in case she collides with a nobleman, the queen will blame her, and we really can't afford it. "There are often banquets in the palace, and it doesn't hurt to participate in them ordinarily, but when Queen Pei mentions it herself, it has to make people suspicious. She was willing to offend Empress Pei, and she didn't want to put her sister-in-law and Jia'er in danger.

The female official Xin on the side smiled kindly: "Concubine Hui, there are many guests invited to tomorrow's banquet, even Miss Pei is coming." She has always said that she and Miss Guo are familiar at first sight, and she has to say goodbye to her. ”

Miss Pei said by the female official Xin, naturally she was talking about the beautiful Pei Baoer. Li Weiyang smiled, when did he meet her at first sight? However, if it weren't for Li Weiyang's already understanding Pei Baoer, she would really think that there was a Miss Pei who was familiar with her at first sight.

Concubine Guo Hui wanted to refuse, but Empress Pei had already lowered her face slightly, and the smile of the female official Xin was gone: "Concubine Hui, the queen mother personally invited Mrs. Guo and Miss, such an opportunity and glory have never been there." Although there was no anger on his face, there was a threat in his tone. It means that you don't know how to lift up, not everyone can refuse the queen.

The queen is the queen after all, even though Concubine Guo Hui hates her very much, she has to maintain a superficial peace with her in front of people. When Concubine Guo Hui heard what Lady Xin said, she knew that if she refused again, she would not be able to say anything, which was equivalent to giving Queen Pei an excuse to have a seizure. She glanced at Queen Pei's exquisite face coldly, and sneered in her heart, just go, can you still do anything to the Guo family in public? Then, he smiled: "Since the queen is gracious, we are disrespectful." ”

Empress Pei didn't care what she said, but looked at Li Weiyang, her dark eyes calm: "Since that's the case, I won't disturb you to talk about the family." With that, she stood up and walked out with the support of the female officer beside her, without the slightest movement between her actions, only the swing of her skirt was like the clouds floating in the sky, and there were countless splendor left.

When Empress Pei completely disappeared into the courtyard, Concubine Guo Hui didn't have the heart to listen to the play anymore, she waved everyone to retreat, and returned to the house with Mrs. Guo, before she whispered: "I am getting more and more incomprehensible about her actions, so decent, why do you want to hold a banquet?" ”

Mrs. Guo also had a trace of worry on her face, and said, "Yes, it seems to be coming for Jia'er." Li Weiyang has already mentioned to her about Princess Anguo, Mrs. Guo knows very well in her heart that although Princess Anguo was born very charming, she is a willful and shameless woman in her bones, according to her daughter's personality, if the other party didn't go too far and touched her bottom line, she wouldn't punish her. Mrs. Guo turned her head, looked at Li Weiyang, and said, "Jia'er, what do you think?" ”

Li Weiyang seemed to be still distracted, and only raised his head when he heard Mrs. Guo speak, and saw that the two of them looked a little uneasy, so he smiled and said: "The soldiers are coming, and the water is flooding, if you don't participate because you are afraid, isn't it giving the other party a tongue?" ”

Concubine Guo Hui saw that she was not very old, she spoke very organized, and she thought of going with herself, so she couldn't help but like it more and more, so she nodded and said: "That's the case, since I have already agreed, I want to participate, and I have to dress up beautifully, I can't let others underestimate the Guo family!" ”

On the second day, Concubine Guo Hui, as she said yesterday, took Mrs. Guo and Li Weiyang to the Xingchen Palace. Concubine Guo Hui was not happy about what Queen Pei had done, so she took a lot of time to take a bath and change clothes in the morning, and arrived at the main hall when it was almost noon. It was half an hour late before the actual banquet began. The close princes and ministers, all the princes and princesses, have all arrived, but there is no emperor on the throne, only Pei Hou is sitting.

On the VIP seat, Pei Bao'er was dressed in gorgeous clothes and radiant, she saw Li Weiyang at a glance, as if innocently said: "Ah, isn't this Miss Guo?" ”

This voice immediately interrupted everyone's conversation, and the singing and dancing in the hall also stopped, and everyone looked at them. Li Weiyang sneered, this Miss Pei, for fear that others will not notice her, she is really embarrassed by herself everywhere, just because of the words she said last time? It can be seen that the stomach is small, stupid and selfish.

Concubine Guo Hui smiled and said, "I'm sorry everyone, it's too late. Then he naturally walked inward, obviously not taking the words of people like Pei Baoer to heart.

Li Weiyang was behind her, silent, but silently paying attention to the situation of the entire hall. This large hall that can accommodate 100 people is very magnificent, at this time it has long been arranged with flowers, full of the most noble people of the Yuexi royal family, several cases of two people are lined up on the east and west sides in turn, and there are beautiful and moving palace maids standing with their hands down. Li Weiyang knows very well that the Yuan family, an extremely honorable royal family, is not talked about most about their political achievements, but about the appearance of the royal family members, not to mention the beauty and handsomeness, what is even more amazing is that although they are brothers, they also have their own unique charm. Now, except for the absence of the emperor, the pride of the sky gathers, and the entire hall is full of light, which makes people can't help but praise in their hearts. Of course, it was an ordinary person, but Li Weiyang turned a blind eye to everyone's gaze, and her eyes only stayed for a moment when they fell on the face of Xu Wang Yuanlie, who was also present.

Wonyeol winked at her with a hint of a smile. Li Weiyang lowered his eyes, as if he hadn't seen it, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

A concubine sitting at the head of the queen was born with willow eyebrows, thin eyes and melon seed face, very charming and amorous appearance, and her voice was as pleasant as a yellow bird: "Sister Concubine Hui is such a big shelf, the queen is holding a banquet, but you are late, don't you even give the mother face?" ”

This was said so viciously that Li Weiyang couldn't help but raise his head, carefully looked at the concubine's appearance, and then guessed her identity.

Concubine Guo Hui calmly saluted Empress Pei, then walked to her seat and sat down, glanced at the concubine condescendingly, and then said slowly: "Sister Shun, the queen mother is generous and tolerant, she has never blamed me, when did you represent her, don't you feel that you are overstepping?" Oh, how did I forget it, my sister is worried about her pampering is deeper than us old people, so I got carried away. "At such a banquet, each other must be harmonious, but Concubine Hu Shun has something to say, so don't blame her for not saving face for each other.

There were already palace people leading Mrs. Guo and Li Weiyang to take their seats, and when Li Weiyang sat down, he happened to hear this sentence and couldn't help laughing. Concubine Guo Hui is really very strong, three or two sentences, one says that Concubine Hu Shun is a substitute for Yue Ling, and the other says that she is spoiled and spoiled, and she has not left her any affection.

Concubine Hu Shun's face changed slightly, and her smile stiffened: "Sister Concubine Hui is really able to speak, no matter what you say, you are polite." The queen must know that I definitely didn't mean that......"

Chen Guifei was born very beautiful, but she had a faint bookish atmosphere, and she was particularly conspicuous when she sat among a group of flowery concubines. When she heard this, she smiled and said: "Concubine Shun, Concubine Hui is just late by chance, and the queen doesn't say anything, so why do you bother, it seems that you are very stingy." ”

Guo and Chen's two families are in-laws, Chen Guifei has a gentle temperament, and Guo Huifei has a strong temperament, the two of them are far from each other, but they can always talk about going together. In fact, because of her stubborn personality, Concubine Guo suffered a lot when she first entered the palace, and Concubine Chen secretly helped her, so the two have been almost inseparable from Meng for many years, and when she heard Concubine Hu Shun's sarcasm, Concubine Chen naturally had to say a few words. Concubine Hu Shun said that there were only two people, and her heart was even more annoyed, she subconsciously clenched the handle of the chair, and the gold bracelet in her hand suddenly slammed on the chair, making a crisp sound, and she said angrily: "Chen Guifei, you-"

Empress Pei just smiled reservedly, glanced at everyone, and interrupted: "Okay, okay, today is just a small banquet, it's good that Sister Concubine Hui is here." ”

The queen mother said this, but she didn't care about Concubine Guo Hui's faux pas, and a trace of jealousy and hatred flashed on Concubine Hu Shun's face, and she didn't dare to say more. In terms of power, her Hu family is just an upstart, and she is always looked down upon by those century-old wealthy families, saying that her Hu family is an upstart, so she also has a vicious mentality in her bones, Queen Pei has powerful means She dare not provoke, why does Concubine Guo Hui also have such a special status in the palace? She claimed to be the emperor's favorite concubine, and gave birth to the prince Yuansheng, of course, she would be disgruntled, and look for opportunities to embarrass Concubine Guo Hui everywhere.

When the other concubines saw this scene, a faint sneer crossed their faces. The relationship between the four major families of Pei, Chen, Guo, and Hu has always been very delicate, and such a dialogue has to be staged several times a day, but no one can help anyone, whether it is for the country or the harem, such a balance is the best.

The silk and bamboo orchestra sounded again, and fifteen pairs of beautiful women danced in the field, and the dancing posture was very beautiful.

Li Weiyang glanced at Yuan Lie not far away, at this moment he was wearing an ordinary brocade robe, his eyes were quiet, showing unparalleled leisure, sitting quietly and completely out of place with the people around him, he was smiling at her as if no one was around. Although all the princes are handsome, none of them have such a peerless demeanor as him. She was distracted, but she heard Mrs. Guo say softly: "You haven't been in Dadu for a long time, and you haven't seen these royal children yet." ”

Li Weiyang smiled slightly and said, "Yes, although I often hear my brother talk about it, most of them have never seen it." Mrs. Guo laughed, and while the others were immersed in singing and dancing, she introduced Li Weiyang one by one. She was the first to talk about the crown prince, and Li Weiyang was familiar with the prince, so Mrs. Guo only said a few words, and then turned to introduce other princes.

Mrs. Guo pointed to a man with a resolute face in a dark robe and said, "This is His Royal Highness the King of Qin. ”

Qin Wang Yuanhong was born to Concubine Zhou Shu, at the age of twenty-three, his uncle was in charge of the 100,000 forbidden army, and several other people in the family served in the court, and he was one of the most powerful contenders for the throne. Li Weiyang sorted out the information provided by Yuan Lie and Guo Cheng before, and he had a general impression of this person.

At this moment, he heard Yuan Hong smile at a young man sitting at the bottom of him: "Third brother, I heard that you recently brought back a beautiful concubine, who was born with a peerless appearance and is good at group fan dance, I don't know when to invite me to enjoy it?" ”

The young man who was questioned was born very well, with starry eyes and a bright nose, and at first glance his eyebrows were already picturesque, and when he looked at it again, he felt even more extraordinary, and his smile and smile were full of grace. When he heard this, he just smiled and said, "Is the second brother talking about Tao Yao?" ”

Mrs. Guo said softly: "That's Yuanyong, the king of Jin, who was born only one month later than the second prince, ranking third. ”

Li Weiyang's gaze swept over King Jin's face, and King Jin raised his head consciously, glanced at her, and gave her a friendly smile back. Li Weiyang remembered that Yuan Lie once said that His Royal Highness the King of Jin was not from a high background, and his biological mother was a singer from other countries, and he was once very favored by the emperor, but unfortunately he died of a serious illness. King Jin doesn't like power schemes, he takes crane raising as pleasure every day, and never refuses to approach the royal family, so he has always been very popular. Now, seeing King Jin's eyes as light as water, that kind of indifferent look to a qiΔ“, made Li Weiyang feel a strange feeling in his heart.

King Qin laughed and said, "Yes, it's Miss Taoyao, I'm very interested in her fan dance." ”

Who knew that the next sentence of King Jin was: "Tao Yao is indeed good at group fan dance, since you want to see it, I will give her to you as a concubine, are you willing?" ”

King Qin looked at him in surprise, and his voice was loud for a while: "What? Give me a concubine? Immediately, he realized his gaffe, and looked around to the left and right, and everyone heard it, but he pretended to watch the song and dance as if nothing had happened, and he turned his head, and his eyes shone brightly, and he said with great surprise: "Are you really willing to cut love?" ”

"Naturally, yes." King Jin sighed softly, and when King Qin saw that he looked lonely, he immediately said, "What, still reluctant?" ”

King Jin smiled and said, "What's reluctant?" It's just a singer, how can I displease the princess for her? ”

The princess of King Jin is Pei Mian, the only daughter of Pei Yuan, the eldest brother of Queen Pei, and she is Pei Baoer's cousin. Since she is the daughter of the long house, she is naturally favored by thousands of people. Marrying the King of Jin, of course, you have to provide for it. When Li Weiyang heard this, he subconsciously glanced at Empress Pei on the high seat, and couldn't help but smile. She vaguely felt that after the conversation between the two brothers, there was something more profound, which everyone present knew in their hearts, but no one debunked it. But what is it?

Mrs. Guo said lightly: "I heard that this Taoyao girl is pregnant. ”

Li Weiyang's face flashed with surprise, pregnant? King Jin is giving his pregnant concubine to someone else?

Mrs. Guo sneered and said, "I heard that King Jin doted on this concubine too much, and Princess Jin came to Queen Pei to cry. ”

So that's it...... Li Weiyang thought carefully for a moment and then understood. Empress Pei married her niece to the King of Jin, so she completely controlled him, and it can even be said that she monitored him all the time and forced him to serve the prince. And King Jin obviously understands his own situation very well, and obviously favors that Taoyao, but because the princess is dissatisfied, he gives it to King Qin. The most interesting thing is that they said it like this, obviously to let Queen Pei know. Obviously, King Jin is revealing a signal of respect for the Pei family to Pei Hou.

It's just that a man will always have three wives and four concubines, and in the calendar, even if he is a concubine, sometimes he will take a concubine without guilt, which is beyond reproach. However, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, who is dignified in Yuexi, is so afraid of his princess that he doesn't even dare to leave a pregnant dancing girl around, and wants to give it to King Qin in front of so many people, which shows where Empress Pei's power has gone.

"He is not afraid of being ridiculed by others when he does this." Mrs. Guo looked at King Jin's face and sighed.

Laughing? Shame is more important than life, right? Li Weiyang curled his lips and gave his concubine to someone, this woman is still pregnant, which in a sense is naturally because the Pei family is too powerful, on the other hand, King Jin knows what the price of sending Tao Yao away is, but he also has to pretend to be nothing, which shows how forgiving he is. What is the difference between such a person and Tuoba Zhen back then? Li Weiyang glanced at King Jin again, but saw a trace of helplessness and sadness in those eyes.

No, they are distinctly different. If Tuoba is true, he will definitely kill Tao Yao to curry favor with the princess and Queen Pei. What is a concubine and a child, as long as necessary, he is this kind of person who does not recognize his six relatives. However, King Jin chose to give his beloved to others, which may not be an invisible protection for her and her children. Thinking like this, Li Weiyang's gaze wandered between the King of Jin and the King of Qin. King Qin accepted it so gladly, was it already a designed play? It turns out that the Yuexi royal family is so complicated, if this is the case, there will be a good show.

At this time, the prince took the lead in standing up and said to Empress Pei: "Queen Mother, this glass of wine, the son respects you." Empress Pei smiled and drank the wine, and the princes also stood up to toast the queen. Pei Bao'er saw that everyone had saluted one by one, so she stood up with a smile and said, "Your Highnesses are all going to toast, and I shouldn't lose my courtesy." As she spoke, she raised her glass and asked Empress Pei to help her. Empress Pei smiled and beckoned to her.

Pei Bao'er was overjoyed and immediately left her seat, but when she passed by Li Weiyang's table, she didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and suddenly she stumbled under her feet, and the wine glass spilled all of a sudden, Mrs. Guo saw that the wine was spilled, and exclaimed, before she could block it, she saw that Li Weiyang's gorgeous brocade clothes were suddenly wet, Mrs. Guo's face changed, and she quickly wiped it with a handkerchief, and turned around and said, "Miss Pei, what do you mean by this!" ”

Pei Bao'er looked like she was about to cry, looked at Li Weiyang very apologetically, and quickly explained: "Miss Guo, I didn't mean to, are you okay!" ”

Mrs. Guo's voice was almost frozen: "Do you think she looks like she's fine?!" "All the banquet dresses that I prepared for meditation have been ruined, this is an extremely unceremonious thing, how can it be okay?! Seeing that her daughter's good clothes were ruined, Mrs. Guo was very angry.

Pei Bao'er glanced at Li Weiyang with tears in her eyes, then at the others, and said, "I...... I'm sorry, but I didn't mean to......"

Seeing this scene, the prince smiled and said, "It's just a misunderstanding, why should Mrs. Guo be angry?" His expression was very natural, as if he was mediating a dispute, but everyone knew that he and Pei Baoer were cousins, and the relationship was naturally extraordinary.

This incident was originally Pei Baoer's fault, she didn't wrestle originally, but she deliberately wanted to make Li Weiyang ugly. Although she has to be polite in every move in the palace, her skirt is long, and she must maintain her demeanor when walking, and it is very normal to accidentally step on the skirt, so it is good to wish that Li Weiyang would be angry. So that she can get everyone on her side...... Pei Bao'er's eyes quickly accumulated tears, and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, it's all mine, don't blame Mrs. Guo - she also feels sorry for her daughter." ”

This is very decent, and it has won the favor of many people at the moment. Zhou Wang Yuanqi was born very gently, he was the most beautiful one among all the princes, and he was the second son of Zhou Shufei, and the mother of Qin Wang Yuanhong, seeing this scene at this moment, he couldn't help but sympathize with the beautiful Pei Bao'er, and took the initiative to speak: "Mrs. Guo, it's just a little thing, don't embarrass Miss Pei." ”

No matter what kind of man he is, he has the heart of pity and cherishing jade, and he can't stand the weak woman the most, especially Pei Bao'er is still so beautiful, the men here are more or less moved, only Yuan Lie sneered, in his eyes, Pei Bao'er is the same as Li Changle back then, she is a real femme fatale. In his life, he hated this kind of woman the most...... In other words, he doesn't like anyone who is not on good terms with Li Weiyang. He said coldly: "Your Royal Highness King Zhou, if I run in front of you now and fall and spill all the wine, will you be happy?" What's more, this is a matter between young ladies, so don't say more. ”

When everyone heard this, they all showed a look of ridicule on their faces. His Royal Highness King Xu has such a vicious mouth, does this mean that King Zhou is a sissy and runs to take care of the gossip between women? This is not wrong, King Zhou was born beautiful, and his personality is completely different from the strong Qin Wang Yuanhong, not like a mother at all, many people say behind his back that he is too soft-hearted and nosy.

When King Zhou heard this, his whole face immediately turned red: "King Xu, I just can't see it and say a few words, what do you mean?!" ”

Yuan Ying watched this scene silently, and there were rumors outside his heart that King Xu fell in love with the young lady of the Guo family at first sight, and he also thought it was a rumor, because King Xu definitely did not look like such a superficial person, not to mention that when it came to appearance, Guo Jia was not stunning, and it was not enough to fall in love at first sight and immediately fall in love with her......

But, my fair lady, gentleman. Li Weiyang's appearance is considered beautiful, his personality is very calm, and coupled with the power of the Guo family, he has long been targeted by many people, but looking at the current situation, others are watching the development of the situation, but King Xu opened his mouth without scruples, which is too obvious, it is simply a deliberate swear to everyone that he likes Guo Jia.

This...... It's amazing. Yuan Ying thought this in his heart, and an imperceptible smile appeared on his face.

Yuan Lie glanced at King Zhou, his face seemed to be smiling, and his expression became more and more meaningful: "Oh? I can't see it, so what's the point? If His Royal Highness King Zhou is really reluctant to let Miss Pei suffer, why don't you pay for this skirt for her? ”

King Zhou couldn't get off the stage, and glanced at the second brother Yuanhong not far away, but the other party looked like he was strange for his troubles, obviously not ready to help him, he couldn't help but be even more annoyed, and said in his heart that a weak woman like Pei Bao'er was going to be bullied by the Guo family and King Xu, how could he stand by and watch?

Pei Bao'er hurriedly said: "No, it's better for me to wet Miss Guo's clothes, or for me to compensate." It's just a skirt, but Li Weiyang can be seen embarrassed, Pei Baoer thinks it's a good deal.

King Zhou sneered and said, "But a skirt, what is it worth?" Tomorrow, I will order someone to send a hundred to Guo's mansion. ”

Yuan Lie sighed and said, "For the sake of Miss Pei, His Royal Highness King Zhou has to compensate for the bankruptcy, which is really a deep feeling." ”

King Zhou was inexplicably said by him, how could he be said to be bankrupt with a single dress? Kang Wang Yuansong on the side was born to Concubine Ge Li, born with a baby face, but he is very handsome facial features, the youngest among the princes, ranked ninth, and therefore very favored by everyone. ”

He has a lively temperament and is a little naΓ―ve, but this is exactly what everyone thinks. The crown prince frowned slightly, he didn't know what was going on, he felt more and more wrong now. Because of Xu Wang Yuanlie's moody personality, he couldn't figure out what the other party would do next, let alone be on guard in advance.

Yuan Lie smiled, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his amber eyes, but his mouth was ordinary: "Oh, doesn't King Zhou know that Miss Guo's neck is a heirloom treasure of the Guo family?" ”

Everyone's eyes suddenly looked at Li Weiyang's body, and really saw a very beautiful necklace hanging around her neck, the necklace seems ordinary, but there is a jade cabbage, green leaves and white hearts, and there is a green grasshopper on the white cabbage heart, and there is a bee next to the green cabbage leaves, the color is just right, and it is unique. Take a closer look, this color and shape are all rare treasures.

Mrs. Guo was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses, and a sneer appeared on her face. However, she was also very surprised in her heart, this His Royal Highness King Xu did not help the Guo family once or twice. What the hell is he trying to do? Do you really like Jia'er?! Mrs. Guo suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart, as a mother, she would look for a stable son-in-law for her daughter, the son-in-law she knew, Yuan Lie and the Guo family had no contact before, and in terms of friendship, it was definitely not as good as Yuan Ying. After all, Won Young was grown up with her own eyes, not as elusive as Won Yeol.

At this time, a shallow smile appeared on Yuan Lie's lips, and he said evilly: "This jade cabbage has been passed down in the Guo family for a hundred years, and today, the preliminary estimate is also worth 10,000 taels of gold. ”

10,000 taels of gold?! King Zhou's face instantly became ugly, blue and white, white and blue, and he struggled to ask, "Mrs. Guo, His Royal Highness King Xu is joking." ”

Mrs. Guo glanced at the jade cabbage stained with wine, sighed deliberately, and said: "This jade cabbage is a treasure that my Guo family has treasured for many years, and it can bless the safety of the whole family......

In fact, this jade cabbage Mrs. Guo has always been worn close to her neck, and she was specially put on it in order not to let Li Weiyang be looked down upon. In the eyes of others, now it's just a little wine stain, what does it matter, but the powerful like to play with jade too much, many people even a piece of jade from the grandfather, has been passed down to the grandson's generation, everyone is close to the store, one to ward off evil and the other to raise jade. You know, jade is such a thing, spirituality is the most important, the longer it is raised, the more useful it is, if it is polluted by wine, how can you bless the Guo family? That's what Mrs. Guo meant.

King Zhou's eyebrows were furrowed, and his eyes and face seemed to have a thick shadow, and he said unwillingly: "This ...... How is this possible! "Is he going to fall into an unpredictable situation for the sake of a hero to save beauty, he now deeply regrets how good it would have been if he hadn't spoken much at that time.

Concubine Guo Hui looked at it, but her lips curled. Heroes have to pay a price for saving beauty, and King Zhou obviously doesn't know who he has offended.

At this moment, Li Weiyang, who had been silent, opened his mouth and said, "His Royal Highness King Xu is wrong. ”

Everyone looked at Li Weiyang, but King Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, that is, it was just a jade pendant, why was it so expensive! What is the concept of 10,000 taels of gold, does he really want him to go bankrupt for a trivial matter?

Who knew that Li Weiyang had a thin smile on his face, and the smile should have been warm, but with a faint apology: "His Royal Highness King Zhou, I'm really embarrassed, someone once offered 100,000 taels of gold to buy this piece of jade......

She looked gentle and gentle, but she spoke very seriously, not like she was joking at all. The meaning is clear, this piece of jade is worth 100,000 taels of gold, if you want to stand up for Pei Bao'er, you can pay for it obediently. But if King Zhou said that he wouldn't help, this face would still be lost.

If you hadn't heard it with your own ears, no one would have imagined that the young lady of the Guo family was such a wonderful person without saying a word. is obviously squeezing King Zhou, but he has such a gentle face, a pleasant voice, and his demeanor is so serious that people can't help laughing.

Won Young burst out laughing, and then everyone else laughed along. Kang Wang Yuansong was young, his smile was exaggerated, he almost ignored the royal manners, patted the table as if he was beating the beat, danced vigorously, and looked at Li Weiyang's expression was also full of novelty. In their opinion, it is rare in this world to have such an interesting girl who dares to stumble His Royal Highness King Zhou in public.

King Zhou's face was pale, his eyes looked at Li Weiyang in a daze, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Pei Baoer's whole face changed, she looked at King Xu in shock, looked at Mrs. Guo, and finally her eyes fell on Li Weiyang, who was lying seriously, and her heart was on fire, these people were clearly united to set a trap for King Zhou! She immediately said: "It's all my fault, why do you criticize His Royal Highness King Zhou so harshly......"

Li Weiyang stood up suddenly, Pei Baoer was startled, thinking that she was going to do something, she subconsciously took a step back, and then she really stepped on the skirt unintentionally, and suddenly fell on her back, sitting on the ground very wolfly. Li Weiyang showed a surprised look, and hurriedly came over to help her: "Miss Pei, what's wrong?" ”

Her expression was very caring, and her movements seemed to be about to pull Pei Bao'er, but in fact, she stepped on Pei Bao'er's feet and crushed them heavily, Pei Bao'er screamed, and Queen Pei said coldly: "The court is so noisy, what kind of system!" "It's clear that I'm already displeased.

I was sitting and watching the play just now, and now I saw Pei Baoer suffering a loss before I spoke, where is there such an easy thing in the world? Li Weiyang smiled faintly and said, "Miss Pei, have you ever fallen and injured yourself?" ”

Pei Bao'er felt a pain in one foot, but she didn't dare to speak out in public, and after being helped up by the palace maid, she looked at Li Weiyang with a pair of watery eyes: "Miss Guo, it's all my fault, I wet your clothes......"

Li Weiyang said with a warm smile: "A piece of clothing is really not worth anything, but the family heirloom treasure is really precious, and it is a pity to be spoiled by this glass of wine." Since Miss Pei is truly repentant...... It's not difficult, and you don't need to compensate for any silver, I heard that Pei Mansion has a delicate treasure box that has been heirloom for many years, which was left by the Buddha back then, and it is very Buddha-like, and it is the most suitable for raising jadeβ€”β€”"

Pei Bao'er's entire face didn't even have a trace of blood. She didn't expect that she just wanted to make Li Weiyang ugly, and by the way, she played a set of old tricks in front of everyone, and she had never been unsuccessful in dealing with those young ladies in the past, but here in Li Weiyang, how could she be beaten upside down all of a sudden! Now the other party even fell in love with the treasure box at her house, which has been passed down for many years, with fifty of the most precious gems embedded on it, one hundred and twenty deep-sea shark tears, which is not unusual, and the most important thing is that the box is also engraved with 25,000 words of Dharani scriptures, which is a treasure that has been worshiped for generations, and I don't know how long it took my father to agree to give it to him as a dowry......

"You...... You...... I...... No......" Pei Bao'er was dumbfounded, almost speechless.

Yuan Lie's smile could hardly be hidden, this Weiyang is even more ruthless than his Royal Highness King Xu, the value of the exquisite treasure box is far more than the jade cabbage, if Pei Bao'er compensates, there will be no good fruit to eat when he goes back, but if he doesn't compensate, he will be cheating, which is a bad reputation...... It's wrong to do anything, it's unlucky to lose or not, ha, it's really vicious.

Li Weiyang lowered his eyes and smiled slightly: "Miss Pei, isn't she reluctant?" In that case, then I can't help it. I don't know if this 100,000 taels of gold, will I go to Pei's Mansion tomorrow to get it, or will I go to King Zhou's Mansion? ”
