207 Deadly Threat
The day after Concubine Guo Hui returned to Guo's house, Princess Chen Liu held a grand banquet for her. Li Weiyang saw it in his eyes and understood it very well in his heart. This banquet, one is to celebrate Concubine Guo Hui's return to save her family, and the other is to show everyone an attitude. What kind of attitude is this? It's very simple, the two brothers Guo Ping and Guo Teng suffered one after another, one died and the other was exiled, both of which were unforgivable crimes. Everyone saw it in their eyes, although they didn't say it, they were all strange in their hearts. The Duke of Qi will use this banquet to explain to everyone that what those two people did was to blame, and it would not affect the status and influence of the Duke Mansion in the court.
Sure enough, on this day, all the major wealthy families sent special people to participate, and the whole banquet was full of joy, and no one mentioned Guo Ping and Guo Teng at all. Of course, there is only one person who is an exception, that is, Mrs. Qingping Hou who is full of frost, this time, she brought her daughter Wen Ge to sit next to her, but she looked like she was picking her nose and eyes, and she didn't like anything. Even when Mrs. Guo greeted her, her face was cold and expressionless. On the contrary, Wen Ge next to her was particularly gentle, and looked at Guo Cheng with tenderness.
That watery gaze made Guo Cheng get goosebumps all over his body, and while he looked at Director Guo, he thought of a way, and said that he was not strong enough to drink, and withdrew from the banquet. In fact, he followed Li Weiyang's instructions and went to Na Meilin to find Han Lin. In his opinion, Cousin Han Lin is much cuter than the fake Wen Ge, at least, she won't talk to you with a smile on her face, turn her face and beat the maidservant. Just from the character of Mrs. Qingping Hou, he could think about what kind of hell he would fall into if he married Wen Ge. Since this is the case, he still made a decision early and married Han Lin as soon as possible. Seeing that Guo Cheng had made an excuse to slip away, Guo Dun and Guo Dao couldn't sit still any longer, and the two of them stood up one after another and chatted with the familiar nobles on the side.
Throughout the banquet, Mrs. Guo was busy socializing and socializing, so she couldn't take care of Li Weiyang. Li Weiyang sat happily, from time to time, a lady greeted her, and she responded politely, not too cold, not too enthusiastic, with the bearing of a young lady. And Guo Guifei over there has long been surrounded by countless people, some of whom are stammering, some are flattering, and some have ulterior motives. Li Weiyang looked at this, but smiled silently.
At this moment, a young man appeared in front of Li Weiyang's eyes, about twenty-three or four years old. He looks delicate, his complexion is elegant, and there is a kind of otherworldly atmosphere between his demeanor, although he is young and noble, but his smile does not have a trace of arrogance, which makes people feel good at a glance.
Li Weiyang has seen this person once, he is Chen Bingbing's younger brother Chen Xuanhua. Speaking of which, the two families are still in-laws. In addition, the relationship between Guo Guifei and Chen Guifei in the palace is very friendly, so the Guo and Chen families have always been very close, and it is not surprising that Chen Xuanhua appears here.
Li Weiyang has long had a very clear understanding of the situation between the DPRK and China. Although the Chen family is also noble, it is just that everyone in the family is mainly civil officials, and it is a real noble family. Although Concubine Chen Guifei is the honor of the concubine in the palace, it seems to be higher than Concubine Hui, but in fact, the influence of the Chen family in the court is not as good as that of the Guo family, who is both civil and military. Coupled with the fact that for many years, the Pei family's deliberate suppression and suspicion of the Chen family made the Chen family have to look for strong foreign aid, and the Guo family is the best choice. Therefore, the marriage of the Chen family and the Guo family made the Pei family dare not act rashly, and it made the major families very awe of these two families, which is a strong alliance and a need.
Chen Xuanhua saw Li Weiyang sitting on the seat from a distance just now, and he wanted to talk to her early, especially when he looked at the other party's calm, gentle and indifferent temperament, which made him involuntarily feel a sense of closeness. He stepped forward and saluted, "Miss Guo, I haven't seen you for a long time." β
Li Weiyang's expression moved slightly, this Chen Gongzi was as humble as his appearance, and she also said politely: "Chen Gongzi, since the last goodbye, it is true that I haven't seen each other for many days, and the second sister-in-law also mentioned last time that she wanted to take me to Chen's house as a guest, but before she could make the trip, she met again." β
Chen Xuanhua had a hint of surprise, he understood very well that although there was a trace of enthusiasm in Li Weiyang's tone, it was only for the sake of her second sister-in-law Chen Bingbing, but despite this, he was already very content. Guo Cheng had already warned him that the Guo family would never trade Li Weiyang's marriage again. But in his heart, he left a deep impact on this gentle and beautiful woman, especially her faint smile, which made him unforgettable, so he couldn't help but lean over. Chen Xuanhua smiled and said, "Miss Guo has not been back to Dadu for a long time, are you still used to life here?" β
Li Weiyang smiled and said: "Although Guo Jia has been away from home for a long time, this is my hometown after all, there is nothing I am not used to, and everyone takes great care of me, so it is naturally a good thing and cares about Gongzi Lao." β
Chen Xuanhua nodded and said: "Miss is used to it, but the scenery of the capital is also very wonderful, if there is a chance, Xuanhua is willing to be a guide, take Miss around the streets and alleys, and read the customs." β
Soon, they were talking to each other, and I was talking one by one. This Chen Gongzi is a talented man who is both civil and military, and he deliberately curries favor with Li Weiyang, so he is also very speculative when he speaks.
At this moment, a person suddenly walked over next to him, sneered and said: "I have long heard that Miss Guo is kind, easy-going and popular, but now it seems that she is really comprehensive and does not fall behind." β
When Li Weiyang heard this, he turned his head, but it was a young man standing in front of her, very young, very handsome, and saw a slender figure, like a jade tree in the wind, but his face was cold, and the appearance of the whole person looked as delicate as a person made of ice.
Chen Xuanhua saw that Li Weiyang was stunned, and couldn't help but say: "Presumably Miss Guo doesn't know him yet, this is the son of the Marquis of Xiangyang, he has just come back from outside, and he rarely participates in such banquets, Miss Guo is afraid that he is unfamiliar." β
You Qingfeng smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Brother Chen, although I don't know Miss Guo, but her reputation has spread all over the capital, and now, she is very famous, but I didn't expect that even a smart person like you has become a minister under her skirt!" β
When he said this, he seemed to have ulterior motives, with a very mocking meaning, and now even Chen Xuanhua, who had always been elegant, changed his complexion. He glanced at the other party and said, "Brother You, what do you mean by this?" Why are you so aggressive? If Miss Guo offends you in any way, you might as well say it bluntly, why are you slandering her like this?! What kind of minister under the skirt, can these four words be used casually! β
You Qingfeng glanced at Li Weiyang coldly and said, "Miss Guo doesn't leave the house, we don't know each other, so where did you offend me?" Chen Gongzi thought about it a lot! With that, he turned and left.
Chen Xuanhua's face became very ugly, but in front of everyone, it was difficult for him to stop the other party and ask him clearly. He looked at Li Weiyang nervously, and couldn't help but say, "Miss Guo, don't be angry, he is talking nonsense......"
Li Weiyang looked calm, and said lightly: "Chen Gongzi doesn't have to mind, You Gongzi is a guest, I won't take it to heart." β
Chen Xuanhua was stunned and said: "Although You Qingfeng is cold on weekdays, he is not such a person who is sneering and slandering women at will, he must have been on a business trip there," he thought for a while, and couldn't help but explain for the other party, "It must be that the Marquis of Xiangyang has been seriously ill recently, so his mood is so bad." There are also people who don't choose to say anything under anxiety, just looking at his look, I'm afraid that Xiangyang Hou is not light this time. β
Li Weiyang glanced at You Qingfeng's back, and said thoughtfully: "You just said, is this You Gongzi the righteous son of the Marquis of Xiangyang?" β
Chen Xuanhua nodded and said, "Yes, the Marquis of Xiangyang is busy with state affairs and is unmarried, so he is very respectable." β
Li Weiyang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "I haven't married in my life?" β
Chen Xuanhua nodded and said: "When this Xiangyang Marquis was young, he was both civil and military, talented, and a famous beautiful man in most of the capital, but he seemed to have a crush on him, and when he was originally preparing to get married, his fiancΓ©e died of illness for no reason, so he made a promise to keep it for his beloved wife, and never talked about marriage again." This blink of an eye, it has been so many years, his knees are still empty, and no one inherits the title, so he brought this You Gongzi out of nowhere, raised him personally, taught him literary talents, and practiced his martial arts, and later sent him to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions, and now the title of Marquis of Xiangyang has long been confirmed, and one day it will be inherited by You Qingfeng, so everyone calls him the little marquis behind his back. β
When Li Weiyang heard this, he smiled and said, "Guo Jia has not long returned to Dadu, and he still doesn't know much about these things. β
In fact, she had seen the information of the Marquis of Xiangyang, but she didn't pay too much attention to it. For so many years, Xiangyang Hou's health has not been so good, he always calls himself sick at home, and he rarely even goes to Chaozhong. The so-called busy with state affairs and have no intention of marrying, I'm afraid it's for the fiancΓ©e who died of incense, but I didn't expect that there would be such an infatuated man now.
Li Weiyang couldn't help but glance at You Qingfeng again, but saw that the man's gaze didn't know where to stay, and there seemed to be a faint resentment and anger in his eyes. Li Weiyang followed his gaze, but what he saw was the direction of Concubine Guo Hui. She was shocked, and an inexplicable thought couldn't help but come to her mind.
Chen Xuanhua looked at Li Weiyang and said, "What, Miss Guo is still thinking about Gongzi You's rudeness to you just now?" β
Li Weiyang came back to his senses, glanced at Chen Xuanhua and said: "Chen Gongzi, don't get me wrong, I'm not that narrow-minded person, it's just that I admire the infatuation of Xiangyang Hou, if I have the opportunity, I really want to meet this senior." β
Chen Xuanhua sighed and said: "He is infatuated, but he is too infatuated, he is worried about illness, lingering on the sickbed, I heard, I'm afraid this is a matter of a month, and the little marquis is going to inherit this title." β
When Li Weiyang heard this, he glanced at You Qingfeng again, his gaze had turned away, but he just lowered his head, holding the wine glass in his hand, and his gloomy demeanor was not commensurate with his noble son's appearance at all. After dealing with Chen Xuanhua lightly, Li Weiyang walked over to Yuan Lie, who had been staring at her fiercely: "The information you gave me, it seems that there is not much to say about the Marquis of Xiangyang. β
Yuan Lie kept watching her and Chen Xuanhua talking, and when he heard the words, he couldn't help but sink his handsome face, as if he was a little displeased: "You only care about talking to that person, what are you doing with me now?" β
Li Weiyang looked at his eyes shining, but he was very dissatisfied, and couldn't help laughing: "When people come to talk to me, do I want to ignore him?" I am the master here, where does your anger come from? Okay, don't be weird, answer me honestly, why is there so little information about Xiangyang Hou? β
Yuan Lie saw that she explained clearly, but he didn't mind very much in his heart, with that Chen Xuanhua, he didn't put it in his eyes, he couldn't help but smile slightly at the moment: "An old man who has already retired from home sickly, why should I care about him?" β
Li Weiyang thought for a while and said in a low voice: "For some reason, I always feel that this You Qingfeng is a little hostile to me and the Guo family, can you notice it?" β
Yuan Lie thought for a while, and said thoughtfully: "There are many ministers under Princess Lin'an's skirt, could it be that You Qingfeng is also the one who pursues her, so he resents you?" His smile was very cute, as if he was deliberately joking with Li Weiyang again.
Li Weiyang quietly ran his foot under the table across the table: "Don't talk nonsense!" Then You Qingfeng and Princess Lin'an are still a little different in age, and they have always been in the army, how can they hook up? In my opinion, I'm afraid there is another mystery in this matter, you can help me pay attention to what is the reason why he is dissatisfied with the Guo family. β
Yuan Lie glanced at You Qingfeng, and sneered in his heart: "What is there to pay attention to such a reckless person?" "Obviously jealous.
Li Weiyang smiled and said: "I'm not for him, just for Concubine Guo Hui, of course, for the Guo family, I am now the daughter of the Guo family, if something happens to the Guo family, did I run away?" Only by taking precautions can you live forever and be invincible, and you don't understand this truth. You can collect as much as you can, the more the better, but not only him, but also about the Marquis of Xiangyang, you have to investigate it as much as possible. β
Yuan Lie couldn't help but wonder: "Xiangyang Hou? Why do you suddenly care about him? He has been sick at home for so many years, does not participate in the fight, and has no connection with the Guo family. β
Li Weiyang shook his head and said: "This You Qingfeng is hostile to the Guo family, but he will definitely not have a grudge with the Guo family at such an age, he is the righteous son of the Marquis of Xiangyang, could it be that the Marquis of Xiangyang had any resentment with the Guo family back then?" The more she thought about it, the more likely it became.
Yuan Lie couldn't help laughing, playing with the wine glass in his hand with one hand, but his sharp eyes had already swept in the direction of You Qingfeng: "If the Marquis of Xiangyang really has an enmity with the Guo family, why has he not been sick for so many years, and he can't move?" He wouldn't have counted on his son to take revenge. β
Li Weiyang smiled: "Maybe I'm thinking too much, or maybe he just looks at me unpleasantly, it's all possible." In her heart, she would rather the other party look at her unpleasantly, if not, I am afraid that this matter will become complicated.
You Qingfeng sat alone, looking absent-minded. The wine glass in his hand was held all the time, but he never took a sip, his eyes fell on Li Weiyang's body, and he sneered. The woman, sitting there faintly, as if all the light was focused on her, she had neither a very outstanding appearance nor a compelling demeanor, but she was miraculous, leaving a deep trace in everyone's hearts. It seems to be a green mountain and green water, no matter how dazzling the light of other people is, it can't hide her unique temperament. Or, she relied on this kind of demeanor to tempt King Xu and King Jing.
Soon, his eyes moved away from Li Weiyang's body and put it on Concubine Guo Hui, who was surrounded by everyone, and sneered in his heart, this woman was behaving again.
At this time, Director Guo next to him slowly walked over to him: "When will Brother You return to Dadu?" Don't say anything, I'll pick you up and wash the dust. β
Director Guo and You Qingfeng were classmates back then, so they still have some friendship. In the past, although You Qingfeng ignored the Guo family, he was still willing to say a few words to Director Guo. But today, he just glanced at Director Guo lightly and said, "I'm just a guest in the capital, I can't stay for many days, so I don't have to worry about Brother Guo." In his words, there was a coldness that rejected people thousands of miles away,
After listening to this, Director Guo couldn't help but be a little surprised. In his opinion, this You Gongzi, the future Marquis of Xiangyang, although he is indifferent and has a tough personality, he is really an upright and good person. Therefore, he does not reject being close to him. However, with his three-inch tongue, Director Guo, who can fight everywhere, has repeatedly hit a wall here in You Qingfeng. Especially every time he mentioned the matter of the Guo family, You Qingfeng looked at him with a very cold look, which made him suspicious. He is a very smart person, if he had changed others, he would have stopped being close to You Qingfeng a long time ago. But the more rude the other party is to himself, the more he wants to find out what is going on.
Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Doesn't Brother You feel bored here alone?" Shall I introduce you to a few friends? β
His attitude was very enthusiastic, but You Qingfeng just said indifferently: "I'm used to being alone, so I won't bother you, you should go and greet other guests." "A look of no appreciation at all.
Director Guo smiled even more, and said slowly: "Brother You is my classmate and my friend, of course I will do my best to take care of you, make you feel happy and at home, in this way, I will accompany you to drink." As he spoke, he took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for the other party and said, "Brother You, please." β
You Qingfeng glanced at him, it was not good to resist excessively, he only drank it casually, and then lit up the bottom of the cup and said: "I've finished drinking, Brother Guo should go, you don't have to sit here with me, a lonely person." β
Director Guo was even more puzzled in his heart, how You Qingfeng was in the army, he didn't know, but although he treated others indifferently, he never had this attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away, why is this? A hint of weirdness faintly appeared in Director Guo's heart, but he couldn't say where this weirdness came from, he glanced at You Qingfeng and turned to leave. If it weren't for the fact that the Marquis of Xiangyang didn't care about the world in the court, but the You family still had a pivotal position in the court, he wouldn't bother to pay attention to him.
At this time, You Qingfeng watched Director Guo leave, so he continued to sit here, looking at Concubine Guo Hui coldly. In his opinion, if it weren't for Concubine Guo Huifei's ruthlessness back then, his father would not have been so badly injured, no, if she hadn't held on to his father's heart, he wouldn't have been alone for so many years, let alone just over forty years old, and he would not have suffered from a serious illness. Thinking of what the imperial doctor said, my father was afraid that he would die in less than a month. You Qingfeng felt a slight pain in his heart, and when he looked at Concubine Guo Hui's gaze, he was even more full of hatred!
After his father fell ill, he sent people into the palace many times, hoping that Concubine Guo Hui could find an opportunity to go out of the palace to see his father for the last time, but to You Qingfeng's surprise, it was a basin of cold water, and Concubine Guo Hui refused! And it's a stern refusal!
You Qingfeng couldn't describe the feeling he felt at that time, in the past, although he complained about the goddess-like woman in his father's mouth, he had no hatred. However, since Concubine Guo Guihui rejected his request, his heart was full of hatred for this person, it was this woman who abandoned her father and entered the palace, and her father was heartbroken to death, but he waited for her with the last hope. For so many years, he was alone and never married a wife, even if the family desperately forced him to continue the cigarette, he just accepted his own righteous son to inherit his title, such a good man, but the woman did not cherish it at all, only thinking about the glory and wealth in her palace!
The wine glass in You Qingfeng's hand became tighter and tighter, and the force was so great that he almost crushed the wine glass! He hated Concubine Guo Hui deeply, and under his anger, even the people of the Guo family hated him. thought of that day, when he heard about the infighting of the Guo family, Guo Ping and Guo Teng were implicated. He couldn't help laughing, only slapped his face and said, this Guo family is really a dog eats a dog, they deserve this fate. Who knows, the father who has always been gentle and elegant is angry for the first time. Until now, he still remembers the appearance of Xiangyang Hou with an iron face and scolding him. He knew deeply that his father was not complaining for the Guo family, but for Concubine Guo Hui. He was reluctant to criticize the Guo family by himself, and the fundamental reason was that he had always loved that woman.
When he received Guo's post today, he didn't want to come, so he just made an excuse to excuse himself, but when he knew that Concubine Guo Hui also returned to his hometown to save his family, he changed his mind, he wanted to see this woman, he wanted to know how the woman who could make his father fascinated and haunted for so many years was born? What kind of person is it?
But when he saw the other party, he felt that it was nothing more than that, indeed, Concubine Guo Hui's appearance was not very beautiful, at most she was just beautiful, he really didn't understand, what was there about this woman worthy of his father's memory?
Listening to the people next to her talking about it, how respected Concubine Guo Hui is in the palace now, and how talented and personable Jingwang Yuanying is, You Qingfeng's heart is becoming more and more annoyed, that woman is living so beautifully now, she goes home to save her relatives but refuses to come to see her father for the last time, she is clearly a ruthless, heartless, unrighteous and vicious woman! The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became, so he suddenly stood up and walked towards Concubine Guo Hui.
At this moment, a figure blocked him, and You Qingfeng looked at her coldly and said, "I don't know what Miss Guo has to say?" β
Li Weiyang's smile was very kind, when she saw You Qingfeng walking towards Concubine Guo Hui, she subconsciously walked out and blocked in front of him, and now seeing him ask like this, she couldn't help but smile slightly: "You Gongzi is angry, where are you going?" But did the poor hospitality of the subordinates anger you? Although she didn't know what entanglement there was between him and Concubine Guo Hui, she couldn't let him make any trouble on such an occasion, so she stepped forward to stop him.
You Qingfeng's eyes were cold, he looked at her with contempt, and said lightly: "This is my business, Miss Guo still stands to the side, lest I accidentally bump into you." β
Li Weiyang hadn't spoken yet, but he heard someone next to him laughing: "Oh? I don't know what kind of collision method the little marquis is going to do? β
You Qingfeng looked at it, but it was the wind god like jade Xu Wang Yuanlie standing aside, and the brilliance seemed to suppress all the people at the banquet at once. You Qingfeng sneered and said: "To be able to let King Xu Yuanlie stand out for you, no wonder others say that Miss Guo's charm is great!" But I just don't believe it, if you don't have the slightest hint, how can you make a man swoon? This is really not in line with everyone's young lady's style, in my opinion, Miss Guo is still a little more restrained, don't be like your aunt to attract bees and butterflies, shameless. β
Yuan Lie looked at the other party coldly, suppressing his anger: "You Qingfeng, do you know who you are talking to!?" β
Although the Marquis of Xiangyang is the title of the marquis, but in his Yuanlie's eyes, it is nothing, this You Qingfeng relied on his military merits, and he dared to be rude in front of him, he turned his head and thought of cleaning him up, and made him bitter and unspeakable.
Li Weiyang smiled and said: "King Xu doesn't have to be angry, it's not strange that Gongzi You listens to those slanders, everyone in the world is like this, and they often don't know the truth, but no matter what Gongzi You thinks of me, today is the banquet of the Guo family, I will never allow anyone to make trouble at this banquet, if Gongzi You has anything, let's come back another day." β
You Qingfeng looked at the other party, but he didn't expect Li Weiyang to see through his mind to find fault, yes, he just wanted to question Concubine Guo Hui, he wanted to expose her false face in public, and ask her how she turned her head and forgot her father when she was obviously in love with the Marquis of Xiangyang? Even her father was critically ill and refused to go up to take a look, was she really so ruthless? I also know that if he does this, Concubine Guo Hui will be extremely ugly, and the old things about her and the Marquis of Xiangyang will also be known to everyone. You Qingfeng was just annoyed for a while, and was interrupted by Li Weiyang, and suddenly came to his senses.
Indeed, he couldn't do this, not for Concubine Guo Hui, but for his father Xiangyang Hou. He had a clear and respected life, and if he was impulsive and shook out those things back then, I am afraid that even his father's reputation would be affected. What's more, this matter now has a better use value, and it can retaliate against the Guo family, but it will not endanger the Xiangyang Hou Mansion. Thinking of this, he looked at Li Weiyang coldly and said, "What Miss Guo said is that such a grand banquet in your family will not welcome an uninvited guest like me. Then he turned and left.
But I heard Xu Wang Yuanlie slowly saying behind his back: "Little Marquis." β
You Qingfeng turned his head and glanced at the other party, but he heard Yuan Lie's eyes cold, and his eyes seemed to be as deep as if he was about to devour people: "Things in this world can't be solved by the word impulsive, if you have any troubles, you might as well say it directly, I can solve it for you, but if you see Jia'er next time, it's still so unreasonable!" Don't blame me for being rude to you. β
When he said this, he had a cold smile, and against that handsome face, it looked even more moving. You Qingfeng was shocked, and he couldn't help but be shocked by the cold light in Yuan Lie's eyes. It's just that after all, he has also been trained on the battlefield for a long time, and he did not lose his temper on the spot. His gaze wandered over the faces of Li Weiyang and Yuan Yeol, then lowered his eyes and turned to leave.
Li Weiyang looked at the other party's back, and his expression became a little more suspicious. What did he want to do just now, why did he walk towards Concubine Guo Hui so angrily? It was as if something to be announced in public.
Yuan Lie said lightly on the side: "Concubine Guo Hui has been in the palace for many years, presumably there will be no entanglement with this young man, this matter, in the end, still involves the Marquis of Xiangyang, Weiyang, what you said is right, it seems that I really want to investigate this father and son." β
Li Weiyang nodded and said softly, "Don't attract attention." After speaking, she returned to her seat, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of the superb cloud tea. This is the best in the tribute tea, even Concubine Guo Hui is only a few taels, but she deliberately gave half of it to her. This tea is very refreshing and pleasant, and it is full of fragrance. It was only in this rising cloud that Li Weiyang fell into deep thought. Her gaze involuntarily fell on Concubine Guo Hui again. What's going on here? Xiangyang Hou, Guo Huifei and You Qingfeng, what kind of entanglement is there between these three people?
Concubine Guo Hui finally sent away the people around her, and just sat down to take a sip of tea, but saw her sister, Mrs. Qingpinghou, who had always been arrogant and domineering, walking towards her. Concubine Guo Hui frowned lightly, but she still sat in place and did not move.
Mrs. Qingping Hou smiled, sat down next to Concubine Guo Hui and said, "Niangniang, don't mind talking about the old love." β
Concubine Guo Hui looked at her, with a hint of indifference in the depths of her eyes, and said lightly: "I don't know what Mrs. Qingping Marquis has to say." β
She is called "Mrs." and not "Sister", which is obviously very alienated. In her opinion, her eldest brother is only Guo Su, and Guo Ping and Guo Teng, as well as the Marquis of Qingping in front of her, have nothing to do with her Guo family.
Mrs. Qingping Hou smiled slightly and said: "I'm just here to reminisce about the past, why should my mother refuse people thousands of miles away?" β
"Renewing? I have something old to talk about with you. Concubine Guo Hui's eyes were cold.
Who knows, Mrs. Qingping Marquis suddenly laughed and said: "At today's banquet, there is also a young son who is very eye-catching, that is, the righteous son of Xiangyang Hou, I don't know if Niangniang still remembers?" Ah, how did I forget jì, no matter how forgetful Niangniang is, she won't forget jì Xiangyang Hou, right? When she said the words "Xiangyang Hou", she deliberately raised her voice, as if to let the people around her hear. Fortunately, there was a lot of noise around them, and everyone was busy talking and chatting, and they didn't even notice what they were saying.
Concubine Guo Hui's face changed slightly, she suddenly turned her head, stared at Mrs. Qingping Hou, and said in a low voice, "What do you want to say?" β
Mrs. Qingping Hou smiled faintly, with a hint of inexplicable ridicule in her expression: "Why should Niangniang panic, I'm just joking, reminiscing about the old people, isn't it something people of our age often do?" Thinking back then, that Xiangyang Hou was both civil and military, very handsome, and women would favor him, plus although he was good-looking, he was clean and self-conscious, and he never had any romantic affairs, so it was not surprising that his mother would like him. β
How could Mrs. Qingping Marquis know about this-Concubine Guo Hui's face was only faint: "I don't understand what you said." β
The elegant appearance of Mrs. Qingping Hou has a hint of sneer, and there is a kind of majesty unique to the Guo family. She sighed and said: "Why is Niang Niang so ruthless, even if you don't think about an old love, you have to think about Xiangyang Hou for so many years, guarding yourself like jade, a piece of infatuation, and even the continuation of the family incense refused, refused to marry a wife or take a concubine, just waited for you hard, I heard that he didn't have much time, Niang Niang was not ready to see him?" β
Concubine Guo Hui's hand clenched slowly, and Dai Mei frowned slightly: "You have been spying on me behind my back, what is the purpose." β
The other party smiled slightly, as if he didn't care at all: "Niangniang don't be nervous, I don't mean anything else, but I'm kind enough to remind you, don't forget the old love back then." As she spoke, she pulled out a piece of ropa from her sleeve and symbolically covered the corners of her mouth.
From the moment Naroopa appeared, Concubine Guo Huifei's gaze could no longer leave. She couldn't help but whisper angrily, "How can this Luopa be in your hands!" β
Mrs. Qingping Hou smiled: "I have always liked poetry, a few days ago I was fortunate to get a poem by Xiangyang Hou, it just so happened that it was written on this Luopa, there is a good saying, the so-called poetry is in words, Niangniang doesn't want to know what is written on this Luopa?" β
Guo Huifei's heart moved, but there were too many people around, so she couldn't ask too deeply, and she couldn't raise her voice. just looked at each other coldly and said, "What was written?" β
Mrs. Qingping Hou smiled meaningfully, "Of course, I wrote an infatuation with my mother, oh, I forgot, there is also the name of the mother embedded in this poem, do you want to see it with your own eyes?" β
Concubine Guo Hui subconsciously wanted to go to see Na Luopa, but the other party glanced at her and said, "If you want to see it, I will naturally offer it with both hands." As she spoke, she handed Luo Pa to Concubine Guo Hui, who lowered her head and glanced at it, and it was really that familiar handwriting. Her eyebrows moved, and her heart beat even harder. Immediately, she suddenly raised her eyes and looked at the other party and said, "Do you know what the crime of wronging Concubine Hui is?!" Where did you get this Ropa? β
Mrs. Qingping Hou smiled even more proudly: "Xiangyang Hou is romantic, but in the past few years he has been sick in bed, and there are indeed few poems circulating, and handwriting is even rarer, so I spent a lot of money to get this piece of Luopa, on that Luopa, the poetry is so affectionate, I am an outsider to read, I feel that there is a faint sadness rushing to the face, the poetry is elegant and timeless, it is really talented, the mother gave up this lover, it is really a pity." β
Concubine Guo Hui clenched Luo Pa, but Mrs. Qingping Hou didn't seem to care: "If Niang Niang likes it, this Luo Pa will be given to you, but I have other things there, Niang Niang is interested?" β
When she said this, Concubine Guo Hui was shocked, she already understood that the other party must have more evidence of her and Xiangyang Hou's old affairs in her hands. Yes, she did have an old relationship with him, but that was before she entered the palace. At that time, she was just a teenager, innocent. What's so strange about Xiangyang Hou, who likes Wen and Wu Shuangquan and is obsessed with himself. It's just that for the sake of the family, she finally gave up on this person and buried her feelings. Unexpectedly, after so many years, this matter became a handle and fell into the hands of Mrs. Qingping Hou. Although she was already angry to the extreme, Concubine Guo Hui's expression remained unchanged, and she said lightly: "What is your purpose, you might as well speak up." β
The other party smiled even more proudly, obviously complacent, and was sure that Concubine Guo Hui would agree. She looked at Li Weiyang's gentle face not far away, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, and she lowered her head close to Concubine Guo Hui's ear. In the eyes of others, she was just talking to her sister affectionately, in fact, she used a cold tone to pass that sentence into Concubine Guo Hui's ears: "I want Li Weiyang's life!" β
Concubine Guo Hui's color changed, she looked at the other party with extreme anger and said, "No, this is absolutely impossible!" β
Mrs. Qingping Hou smiled and said, "Concubine Hui, I think you should know the consequences of rejecting me, that girl is just a wild seed found from outside, so what if she is really Mrs. Guo's biological daughter?" At the beginning, you sacrificed a relationship for the Guo family, and even sacrificed your own lifelong happiness, but now, what is it about sacrificing a girl's life for the Guo family? Compared with a family and a daughter who has been exiled for many years, what is the most important, don't you know it? β
"Why should I believe you! Will you hand over the evidence after I have done what you say? β
"Of course, I don't have to lie to you, otherwise, I can make it public right away! I'm just putting forward the conditions on behalf of others, and you and I must know who is behind it, so whether you believe me or not, there is no choice. Mrs. Qingping said lightly, in fact, according to her, it would be better if this matter was publicized, although the Guo family was very powerful, the emperor would not take their lives because of this, but it could also make the entire Qi State Mansion fall into a catastrophe, and Concubine Guo Hui had no place to stand in the harem, but obviously, Princess Lin'an was not satisfied with this. Just to damage the reputation of the Guo family, she feels that it is far from enough! What she wants is Li Weiyang's life.
Concubine Guo Hui looked at her, her eyes revealed strong resentment, her hands were clenched into fists, her nails were sunk into her palms, and blood was dripping.
Mrs. Qingping stood up gently, got up and patted the dust on her skirt. Her smile was very beautiful and noble: "I've finished what I should say, it's up to you how to choose, but I will only give you one day, if I can't see Li Weiyang's head after a day, then I will be sorry for the Guo family." Also, the marriage of my daughter Wen Ge and Guo Cheng has ended here, I will not let my daughter marry into such a corrupt family! Leave! β
Originally, Mrs. Qingping Marquis wanted to let Wen Ge marry Guo Cheng, and her biggest purpose was to seek the Duke of Qi, but now it seems that the Guo family will end up one day, and Wen Ge will not have to marry her. Of course, because Wen Ge has been thinking about Guo Cheng for so many years, she didn't reveal this matter to Wen Ge before, and she must order her a little after she goes back, so that she doesn't think about marrying Guo Cheng anymore. Thinking of this, she smiled coldly and walked away.
Concubine Guo Hui looked at her back in a daze, but her mouth was full of dumbness. Above her chest, a flame went straight to her throat, and she couldn't say a word! Mrs. Qingping Hou is so vicious! He actually pinched her death hole and threatened her! Yes, she could sacrifice herself for the Guo family back then, and now she has to sacrifice Li Weiyang for the Guo family! This logic seems to be very clear, but when Concubine Guo Hui thought of Li Weiyang's gentle face, her heart was unbearable. The sister-in-law finally found this daughter, and she loved her like a heart. How could she have hurt her for her own sake? However, the threat of Mrs. Qingping Marquis is still vivid, if she does not do what she says, I am afraid that the entire Guo family will be in danger, not only will her reputation be damaged, but she may be ruined, and even the entire family will be ruined from now on...... What a blow this would be for a century-old family.
"Niangniang, do you have anything on your mind?" At this moment, a soft female voice suddenly sounded. Concubine Guo Hui was startled and raised her head, which was Li Weiyang's concerned face.
She hurriedly smiled in disguise: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm just a little tired." β
Li Weiyang looked at Concubine Guo Hui and said with a slight smile: "If Niangniang is tired, go and rest early, here I and my mother are here, and it will be fine." β
Concubine Guo Hui looked at the other party's beautiful face and soft temperament, but her heart seemed to sink into an endless abyss and could no longer touch the ground.

PS: A baby asked me, why did the Guo family say before that they would no longer trade their children's marriages, but later agreed to the Wen family's marriages, there is a concept to understand, parents order the words of the matchmaker, and take the children's marriage to do business and force him to give up his beloved These are two different things, and they cannot be confused. The Guo family is not reluctant to force Li Weiyang, and there is still a guilt in it. Some people also asked me, why is Concubine Guo Hui's rules wrong, yes, the whole family wants to kneel down to welcome her parents to meet her brothers and sisters, but you can't come to ask me, I have already said that this article is not written according to the rules of ancient Chinese society, it is pure nonsense and fiction, otherwise the heroine would have been immersed in the pig cage 500 times. Forget jì this, since PIA. The questions in this chapter can be answered in the following sections......
