At the banquet, Princess Lin'an attended with Jiang Nan, attracting everyone's attention. If Jiang Nan sat down like everyone else, maybe everyone wouldn't have so much criticism, but he sat next to the princess, very close to her, so close that his skin touched and his body was close to each other. Not only that, but as if he was afraid that others would not know about their relationship, he leaned over next to her and whispered a few words, and the princess suddenly chuckled. The guests looked at it in their eyes, their faces were silent, but in private they whispered.

Mrs. Guo shook her head and said, "This princess is really getting more and more unpleasant. ”

Li Weiyang glanced at it, and said with a smile on his face: "Mother, has the princess always been like this?" ”

Mrs. Guo is a very gentle and cheerful person, and never gossip about others, but for Princess Lin'an, she is obviously a little dismissive: "Not long after she got married, she fell in love with the younger brother of the concubine Duwei, and the two openly went in and out of the city, and the concubine did not dare to meddle in the management, which was all connived at by Empress Pei." ”

Li Weiyang glanced at Princess Lin'an, with a thoughtful face.

Queen Pei has a total of three children, one is Prince Yongwen, the other is Princess Lin'an, and the youngest daughter is Princess Anguo, all her thoughts are on her son's body, and it is not surprising that her daughter is laissez-faire, but from a certain point of view, the emperor is also indispensable to raising the dignified princess into such a wanton character. Li Weiyang really wanted to know what kind of person Emperor Yuexi was, and why did he still turn a blind eye to Empress Pei's actions......

Mrs. Guo thought that her daughter was interested in these news, so she couldn't help sighing, and said: "However, Princess Lin'an has no qualification, and the men around her have changed like a marquee, but she has never seen anyone she took to such a banquet, which shows that this person has an extraordinary status in her heart." ”

Li Weiyang smiled and said nothing, Jiang Nan was handsome and upright, not to mention, his mind was also very smart, and he had a cold arrogance, he was already very popular with women in the Great Calendar, no matter how indifferent he was, there were still people who put it up regardless of it. This probably also has a mentality that the more he is rejected, the more he wants to get it, he has been hanging on to Princess Lin'an's appetite, and has never surrendered to her, until she is completely infatuated with him, and the means are not high. Just thinking of the scene just now, Li Weiyang's smile still added a hint of mockery, reduced to relying on a woman to take revenge, which in itself was an extremely painful thing for Jiang Nan.

After what happened just now, Princess Lin'an deliberately went to change her clothes, and the red background was even more like snow. When he raised his glass to drink, the wide sleeves of his coat slipped down his elbows, revealing a piece of mutton fat and white jade-like arms, and his already gorgeous face drank the wine, adding three points of color. Jiang Nan lowered his head and teased her again, but a pair of eyes swept lightly across Li Weiyang's face.

Li Weiyang sighed in his heart, as far as it seems at present, Jiang Nan has become distorted in this pain.

On the male side, it was a different scene. Zhou Jing, the youngest son of Chengting Hou Zhou Zhen, was born with a good skin, and he also likes beauties, since the appearance of Princess Lin'an, a pair of eyes stared at her non-stop, and said regretfully: "That man is Princess Lin'an's new favorite, I don't think it's very good, why does the princess just guard him alone!" ”

He spoke with envy. You must know that although Princess Lin'an has been married, she has always been the object of competition by most celebrities because she was extremely beautiful, has a variety of charms, and has a noble status. It's just that his aunt Concubine Zhou Shufei has repeatedly warned him not to get close to the merry Princess Lin'an, let alone to marry into the door, so he suppressed those thoughts. Princess Lin'an was fine when she passed in the grass, he didn't feel anything, but now seeing that she actually gave up other pets for a "Nan Gongzi" who came out of nowhere, Zhou Jing's heart couldn't help but feel bad.

There was a lot of sarcasm in his words, and all the nobles in the room laughed heartily. Guo Cheng smiled slightly, and said: "You can't just look at the surface of everything, I heard that there are many people in the princess's mansion who are jealous of him, and even many people openly provoke and secretly make stumbling blocks, but they all died at his hands, but Princess Lin'an turned a blind eye to this, and proudly said to others that this Nangongzi is both civil and military, which is extraordinary." Although there is an element of preference in this statement, it is not far from the truth. ”

Zhou Jing's mouth widened in surprise, "Is this guy really such an evil sect?" ”

Guo Cheng's smile was full of insight: "The masters of the princess's mansion are like clouds, but they are all defeated under his men one by one, and no one is left alive." It can be seen that this person is ruthless and poisonous, of course, if Zhou Gongzi doesn't believe it, he can try the other party's martial arts-

What he said was actually very pertinent and not exaggerated. Men will also be jealous of each other, especially in order to please a great beauty like Princess Lin'an, who is also a parent of food and clothing, so they naturally have to spend a lot of effort to fight. Moreover, these people who were taken in by Princess Lin'an's mansion, either literary or martial arts, were all real leaders, but now they are all gone, and they dare not compete with Jiang Nan, which shows that this person is not an ordinary embroidered pillow, but has a lot of outstanding features.

Guo Cheng's gaze fell on Jiang Nan, who had a cold face, and he couldn't help but think of his own investigations after confirming the identity of the other party, every word and sentence was a compliment to this young man's great achievements, his bravery was by no means comparable to ordinary people, it was natural that he would stand out, and, as far as the current situation was concerned, he also hid most of his strength.

Guo Cheng despised such a man who climbed up by nepotism from the bottom of his bones, but if he was in Jiang Nan's position and was forced to the end of the mountain, he would never be able to do this kind of thing, because he was raised by the Guo family in his bones, and he would rather die with the enemy than endure humiliation and steal his life. But what he couldn't do, Jiang Nan did. Such a person is not without fear.

Zhou Jing gritted his teeth jealously, looking at Jiang Nan more and more unpleasantly, but he said recklessly: "What's this, wait for me to have the spirit next time, and have a good competition with him!" “

Although the Zhou family has invited countless famous teachers to teach, this Zhou Jing is still an embroidered pillow, which is also a well-known thing, saying this is just to hide the envy in their hearts, everyone is drinking to cover up, in fact, they all laugh secretly.

Of course, some people also noticed Li Weiyang. Present is Chen Xuanhua, the son of the Chen family, one of the top ten families. The Chen family is a family of officials for generations, and the number of people seen in the history of Yuexi is 12 generations and more than 100 people. Most of the Chen family members have entered the official career, all over the political and military circles, giving orders, and ranking high above others, and the Guo family is generally a century-old family. However, the prosperity must decline, the first emperor a flying disaster - the rebel rebellion swept across the south of the Yangtze River, even affected the Chen family, coupled with the first emperor's suspicion of the Chen family, the Chen family declined sharply, once died down, avoiding the limelight. Fortunately, to this day, the Chen family first supported meritorious service, and there was another Chen Guifei in the family, and soon re-entered the ranks of first-class famous families.

The Chen family is a well-known noble family, and their daughters are all real famous ladies, talented and beautiful, so when they reach age, the threshold of the Chen family will be broken by the matchmaker. However, the Chen family thought about it again, but rejected all the suitors, and instead took the initiative to send someone to the Guo family to talk about it, and married Chen Bingbing, the daughter of the long house, into the Guo family, who was the wife of Guo Yan, the second eldest of the Guo family.

Of course, this is only an external statement, and many people know the inside story. Chen Bingbing once went out by chance, and fell in love at first sight with Guo Yan, an auxiliary general riding a tall horse and a long sword. The Chen family thought about it, anyway, the daughter was not a prodigal child, but a young and promising young general, so she immediately found someone to come to the door to say that Xiang went, and in the end, Miss Chen happily entered Guo's house and became the wife of the auxiliary general.

Chen Xuanhua is Chen Bingbing's brother-in-law, the sister-in-law of the Chen family, a real child of the family, plus he was born gentle and handsome, and he is amiable, and has always had a good reputation among Miss Qianjin. He listened to the crowd talk about Princess Lin'an, his face was careless, but his eyes fell on Li Weiyang. From just now, he noticed the young lady of the Guo family, who was suddenly found. She sat quietly beside Mrs. Guo, her black and white eyes, and the smile at the corner of her eyes was very strong, like a bouquet of elegant and indescribable flowers.

In the final analysis, although the gorgeous and dazzling Princess Lin'an is eye-catching, not everyone likes the peony, and what Chen Xuanhua admires happens to be a gentle beauty like Li Weiyang. Such a woman has a unique power to move people's hearts.

He whispered to Guo Cheng: "After the banquet, can you introduce your sister to me?" “

Guo Cheng glanced at him, a little surprised on his face, and said, "Xuanhua, don't tell me, you are interested in my sister." “

Chen Xuanhua's eyebrows are very delicate and timeless, and his eyes look like Mingchuan, indescribably elegant, he just smiled shyly and said: "My Fair Lady, good gentleman, I hope you will make it convenient for the sake of the goodwill of our two families." “

Guo Cheng felt that his braincase hurt, he pressed the corner of his forehead, and then said, "This ...... I'm afraid I can't be the master, my sister is my mother's lifeblood, if she knows that I take you to meet, it will definitely break my leg, the risk is too great, it's not worth it. He was embarrassed to say that his brothers were bandits, especially Guo Dun, who wished that his sister would stay at home for the rest of his life to make his mother happy, and did everything possible to block many suitors. Others are just fine, but the Chen family and the Guo family have two surnames, so it's not easy to do.

Chen Xuanhua glanced at Li Weiyang, and felt more and more that elegant smile was moving, and couldn't help but say: "It's for the sake of our classmates for many years-" Let him take a shortcut.

Guo Cheng shook his head and said: "I persuade you to die of this heart, my family has already married the daughter of the Chen family, and I will definitely not send another one to your door." “

Chen Xuanhua couldn't help but be anxious, and said, "Why can't you kiss and kiss?" “

What he said was already overdue, Guo Cheng could not answer, but because Chen Xuanhua came to ask this sincerely, for the sake of his classmates and friends for many years, Guo Cheng pondered for a moment before lowering his voice and saying slowly: "Xuanhua, to tell you the truth, my family has already lost a second brother, isn't it enough?" “

Chen Xuanhua was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of sadness slowly appeared in those handsome eyes. He stopped talking, and looked down at the wine in his glass.

Guo Cheng sighed, everything has to be investigated, this is Chen Xuanhua's personality, he is a good man, responsible, responsible, and gentle and elegant, both civil and military, if he marries Li Weiyang, he will definitely love her well, but Li Weiyang will not be willing, heh, don't say that she is not the real Guo Jia, even if she is, Mrs. Guo will respect her personal wishes at any cost.

Tearing off the veil of warmth and affection, the marriage of Guo and Chen's two families is certainly happy and fulfilled for Chen Bingbing, but what about his second brother Guo Yan? He already has a girl he likes, and he is just waiting for him to get married when he returns to Dadu. However, the marriage between the Guo family and the Chen family is a real alliance. Guo Cheng still remembers the expression on his father's face when the Chen family sent someone...... They know that their son already has a woman in love, but in the same way, the Guo family needs the Chen family to fight against Queen Pei together, and only by forming an in-law can they truly form a permanent alliance and deter the Pei family, who is about to move. But unlike other parents, they gave Guo Yan the power to choose.

Guo Yan has the right to choose, he can squander this power willfully, do what he wants, and marry the wife he wants, but he grew up in the Guo family and is destined to be the pride of the Guo family. So, he finally nodded. Guo Cheng has always pitied this second brother, he is an excellent general, a filial son, but he has never been able to be a man who keeps his promises. He finally married Chen Bingbing, and in the face of his new wife who admired him, he couldn't express his inner feelings, and could only lick his wounds alone in the dark night. Despite this, Chen Bingbing has always lived happily, because Guo Yan used the greatest strength to protect her and care for her. Because of the needs of politics, Guo Yan must choose to hide it, but out of conscience, he must take good care of her and make her happy. Guo Chen's two families have a consensus, and she will be so happy for the rest of her life.

However, there will never be another Guo Yan in the Guo family, my father once said. It is conceivable that if the Chen family proposed to marry Guo Jia, their parents would never agree.

Guo Cheng wanted to comfort the lost Chen Xuanhua with a few words, but when he looked up, he saw Yuan Lie looking over, only to see his eyes mocking and ridiculing, the corners of his lips slightly hooked, as if smiling but not smiling, and he was shocked at the moment. However, Won Yeol only glanced at them, and then he had already turned his head, as if he had not seen this place at all. Guo Cheng was frightened in his heart, and at that glance, he realized now that the smile in those beautiful phoenix eyes was even more vicious than a poisoned knife.

There was a faint chill on his back, Xu Wang Yuanlie, you are patiently fighting and playing with us, do you want to make that person happy, if you are angry, what will you do?

In the midst of everyone's laughter, Xu Wang Yuanyu's sparkling eyes fell on Li Weiyang's body, he just thought, just saw him and Princess Lin'an in the same room just now, did she misunderstand? The servant girl pouring wine next to him looked at him quietly, and her face turned red. At this moment, King Xu's expression was not at all indifferent and ruthless in the past, the cold and ruthless thin lips that he usually saw were slightly pursed, as if he was a little distressed, with amber-like crystal clear eyes, a high nose bridge and a toned posture, as if all the edges had been hidden, revealing a hazy and bewildering beauty.

The princess's banquet is naturally luxurious, which of these cheesy wealthy nobles has not been seen, the princess's mansion is not used, and all the dishes served are the most fashionable, even Li Weiyang is a noble-born, and there are even three or five things that cannot be named.

After a while, everyone only heard the sound of drums, but saw a group of mermaids rushing in, dancing slowly to the beat, all of them with slender feet and lotus, Luo shirt and cloud sleeves, everyone suddenly felt a burst of dark fragrance, and the wine was drunk before the lips were touched. However, for Li Weiyang, these singing and dancing performances did not arouse her interest, so she just spoke softly to Mrs. Guo with a faint smile on her face.

Princess Lin'an saw the smile on Li Weiyang's face from a distance, thinking of the shame just now, her heart became resentful, and she threw the chopsticks in her hand on the ground, making a gentle sound, although it was not big, but it alarmed many people, and everyone looked at her a little puzzled, not knowing what the princess was going to do. Princess Lin'an's face sank, and she said, "Why are there always these clichés, can't you change some new things?" “

The dancers quickly fell to their knees, all trembling. Who doesn't know that the Kabuki in the princess's mansion is the most difficult to do, the princess has a changeable mind and likes freshness, so she even asks these dancers to have new tunes and dances every day, and if they can't dance, they use very cruel means to deal with them...... Now it looks like it's about to have another seizure.

Jiang Nan smiled and said, "Why should Her Royal Highness the princess be angry? There's just an interesting person in the house, why don't you let her perform for the princess? “

Princess Lin'an glanced at him and said, "Really? “

Jiang Nan's smile was perfect: "If it's not fresh enough, the princess will cut off my head." “

Princess Lin'an glared at him with disgust and said, "Then what are you waiting for?" Let's get people to perform. “

The housekeeper on the side had already prepared, clapped his hands when he heard this, and said loudly, "You can come in." “

When everyone heard this, they became curious, but they saw a tall and beautiful woman slowly walking in from outside. She wears huge gold earrings on her ears, and her clothes are also very bright, and she has gold bells on her hands and feet.

Everyone saw that although her appearance was good, she was still slightly inferior to the dancers just now, so they all lost interest. Li Weiyang glanced at the woman, but he vaguely felt a little strange in his heart, at this moment, he saw four servants carrying an object covered with a large piece of red silk to the middle of the garden and put it down, and then saluted before slowly withdrawing. Everyone wondered what this was doing, but when they saw the woman walk up to the thing, she suddenly lifted the red silk on it, and then a young lady exclaimed, "God, it's a snake, it's a snake!" Then everyone was surprised to find that the box contained five or six snakes, large and small, and the middle one was clearly a giant python, which was hissing and confiding red letters to people.

Mrs. Guo's face turned pale and said, "What is this for!" "Princess, this woman will perform a snake dance for you, these snakes have all their teeth pulled out, and they have gone to the venom, so they can't hurt people, and they are all raised from childhood, they are very obedient and well-behaved, don't be afraid, you can rest assured to appreciate them."

As soon as the butler said this, the big stone in everyone's hearts relaxed. Princess Lin'an smiled and said: "The masters in my house are like clouds, but they are just a few snakes, what are you afraid of?" Since you're going to put on a show, let's get started!

The woman who performed smiled slightly, raised the flute to her lips, and a string of flowing notes floated out of the flute, but it was completely different from the beautiful sound of the dancers just now, with a strong sense of rhythm and very exciting. By this time, one of the servants had opened the chest, and the snakes swam out at once, and the smaller snakes circled around the woman, their tails moving as if they were dancing, and changing their postures with the change of flute. And the original huge python actually climbed on the woman's shoulders and wrapped around her neck, the woman laughed, and danced quickly while playing the flute, as if there were no bones, and the snake began to spin and coil rapidly on her body. Everyone had never seen such a scene before, and they all watched this scene in amazement. This scene was so wonderful that the people who were originally very reluctant to snake dance also applauded!

Li Weiyang looked at the huge python, it was also raising its head, and the tongue in its mouth was spit in and out from time to time, it looked very terrifying, but it was so obediently entrenched on the woman's body, and it fell down with the music.

At this moment, the snake suddenly wrapped around the woman's neck, the woman screamed, the flute stopped abruptly, in the frightened eyes of everyone, the snake dancer who was still dancing just now rolled his eyes, and fell down, and all the snakes that were originally around her swam away, and the direction of swimming was the guest seat! One of the servants screamed, threw the tray and ran backwards, and the other guests were awakened by this scream, and they all left their seats, looking for a place to hide, and for a moment, the banquet was a mess.

Li Weiyang was the first to react, she pulled Mrs. Guo and stepped back, but the leading python seemed to have spirituality, and quickly swam towards her, a thought flashed in her heart, and she suddenly pushed Mrs. Guo to Zhao Yue on the side: "Protect her!" ”

Just when the giant python pounced, Li Weiyang suddenly realized that today's scene was all played for himself! What a snake dancer, what a snake dance, is simply a weapon to attack oneself. Princess Lin'an clearly wanted to die on the spot!

The giant python's body was bulky, but the speed of the parade was extremely fast, and its body on the ground occupied at least five or six square meters, and when it stood up, it was half an adult high, and it stood up straight and pounced on Li Weiyang! Mrs. Guo screamed: "Jia'er! ”

Zhao Yue had already pulled out the long sword, but a sword was thrown into the air, the speed of the python's movement should not be fast, but at this moment it seemed to be crazy, Zhao Yue slashed over with a sword, but it flicked its tail even more frantically, Zhao Yue was not prepared for it, a long sword was thrown out by the python's tail, Li Weiyang had fallen to the ground at the moment, the python saw that it pounced on her skirt again, and the blood basin opened its mouth as if it was going to swallow her.

Li Weiyang didn't expect the giant python to move so fast, so that she didn't even have a chance to react, no matter how calm she was, seeing the bloody mouth and smelling the fishy smell that was close at hand, she couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat, frowned suddenly, the whole person stepped back, and subconsciously pulled out the short dagger that had been hidden from her waist-

Mrs. Guo almost fainted, and ran towards Li Weiyang without thinking about it, trying to block this for her, Zhao Yue's heart also sank suddenly, but at the critical moment, she saw that the python suddenly raised its body, and the action that was originally going to attack Li Weiyang stopped abruptly, but it seemed to wriggle violently on the ground as if in infinite pain. At this time, a pair of hands had already pulled Li Weiyang over, and she turned back in shock, but crashed into Yuan Lie's eyes.

Guo Cheng and Chen Xuanhua hurried to arrive, but the giant python had already writhed and died on the ground, seven inches away, it was like a pair of ivory chopsticks, and blood was gurgling out. Something not sharp enough to try to make a hole in the python's body is simply ...... Guo Cheng stood there in shock, looking at Yuan Lie in disbelief.

Yuan Lie was also beating with a heartbeat, he was the farthest away from Li Weiyang just now, and he almost thought it was too late! But Li Weiyang in his arms, a pair of beautiful eyes had already looked in the direction of the main seat, and unexpectedly, when she saw Jiang Nan's expression, there was a sneer in her expression, and she was even more disappointed.

disappointed that he didn't die, Li Weiyang sneered in his heart.

Yuan Yeol walked to the python and observed it carefully, his eyes were full of cold coldness: "This snake's teeth have not been pulled out at all......

The servants had already beaten the other little snakes to death, and the people who had fled in all directions just now gathered again, looking at the huge python, with a palpitating look on their faces. Mrs. Guo was the most annoyed, and rushed up and down to inspect Li Weiyang, but tears had already fallen: "You stupid boy, why did you push your mother aside!" ”

Li Weiyang gently brushed the dust off her skirt, and comforted her calmly: "Mother, aren't I very good?" Don't worry about me. In fact, she had a strange premonition when the python strangled the snake dancer who was performing, and when she saw the python leave the others behind and only run after her, this premonition had already come true. If she dragged Mrs. Guo away, it would only affect the innocent her, so why bother? So she didn't think about it, so she pushed Mrs. Guo away.

"There's something wrong with this snake!" Yuan Lie's voice was cold, and he turned his head sharply to look at Princess Lin'an.

Princess Lin'an stood up suddenly, and said with infinite surprise on her face: "What the hell is going on?!" How could such a thing happen with a good show! ”

Her expression pretended to be ten percent innocent, as if she hadn't planned it. Jiang Nan's face was very cold, as early as when Princess Lin'an came up with this idea, he felt that it was difficult to succeed, because on such an occasion, if he wanted Li Weiyang's life, he had to subdue Yuan Lie and Zhao Yue first! But it is also an interesting thing to be able to shatter Li Weiyang's calm face, and if it can take her life, it will be extremely happy. It's a pity that Yuan Lie's movements are too fast and his martial arts are too high, which is also unexpected by Jiang Nan.

"Good show?" Yuan Lie sneered and said, "I said clearly just now, all snakes have their teeth pulled out and their venom removed, but their snake teeth are still there. Besides, most pythons are not poisonous, but you can take a look. He picked up the dead snake's head and snapped his teeth to show everyone, "I don't know who wiped something on the python's teeth—"

Everyone saw that the python had four rows of teeth, the outer two rows were obviously used for biting, and the inner two rows were used for swallowing food, but on the outer teeth, there was some light blue powder, which emitted a strange light in the sun......

------Off topic------

Writing this paragraph today, I suddenly thought of a good idea, let the python swallow Li Weiyang in one bite, and then mark the full text with three words, hahahaha
