In front of the stage on the lake, Li Weiyang and Sun Yanjun are leisurely listening to the play, and the small tea table in front of them is full of fruit plates, containing preserved plum fruits, rose cakes, hibiscus cakes, bean sugar, and some fresh melon seeds and dried fruits from Kyoto's most famous dim sum shop, all of which are rare flavors.

Sun Yanjun loves to eat very much, and couldn't help but praise it secretly, and said with a smile: "Weiyang, you are comfortable these days, but there is a mess outside, you have brocade clothes and jade food, Xiaoqu food, even the golden branches and jade leaves in the palace are not so comfortable as you." ”

Li Weiyang smiled when he heard this, leaned lightly on the cushion, and said: "People, when you are tired, you should be tired, and when you are happy, you should be happy, why follow so many rules and regulations to make yourself uncomfortable." In fact, she doesn't like to listen to the play, she just thinks that the play is sour, but Sun Yanjun likes it, especially as a daughter-in-law who has just married, she is always called by the second lady to make rules, and her life is miserable, since Li Weiyang asked her to come, she naturally wants to make her happy.

"Jiang Yuelan is still kneeling in the ancestral hall, do you really care?" Sun Yanjun smiled and glanced at Hua Dan on the stage, and asked softly.

Li Weiyang held the stove in his hand, smiled slightly, and said: "This is my father telling her to kneel, he refuses to forgive her, what can I do, I have to wronged her to continue kneeling." ”

Sun Yanjun shook his head, sighing and sighing: "It's not easy to kneel on the cold floor for three days and three nights just after giving birth, and still survive." ”

Li Weiyang's smile looked very kind: "Well, my father is reluctant to give her up." ”

Sun Yanjun didn't have as many eyes as Li Weiyang, so he couldn't help but say: "Reluctant? The eldest uncle is really crazy, a woman with red apricots out of the wall, but she has just kept her reputation on the surface, who doesn't know the details?! Although Sun Yanjun didn't know what exactly happened, she also faintly heard some rumors, and added colorful descriptions and speculations, so she sketched out another version, a version that Li Weiyang has been inducing everyone to believe.

Li Weiyang just smiled when he heard this: "Naturally, this is not what you meant, you misunderstood." "It's not that Li Xiaoran doesn't want to execute Jiang Yuelan, he just doesn't want to die another wife, plus the marriage of Li Changxiao and others is about to be put on the agenda, if Jiang Yuelan dies at this time, the marriage will have to wait for another three years, and after three years, they will all become old girls, and the life of the Li family is really impossible. This man will never forgive Jiang Yuelan's "betrayal", so he didn't say anything on the surface, but ordered Jiang Yuelan to kneel in the ancestral hall for ten days and ten nights, not to let her die, but not to let her be happy. Kneeling for ten days, for a woman who has just had a miscarriage, is equivalent to taking half of her life. Of course, he also ordered people to take turns guarding there, if Jiang Yuelan couldn't hold on, he would hang her life with ginseng soup, and he couldn't let her die anyway.

At this point, Li Weiyang admires Li Xiaoran very much, his ability to torture people is more vicious than himself, and more importantly, he kills without seeing blood, and even his reputation will not be delayed. On the surface, Jiang Yuelan was punished for setting up a plan to frame others, but in fact, he was punishing her for infidelity in disguise.

"But will the eldest uncle regret it? In case Jiang Yuelan said a few words-"

Li Weiyang just smiled and said, "Naturally not, if I were a man and my wife cuckolded me, I would never forgive her again." Although this green hat was forcibly added by Li Weiyang, the Jiang family made a move on the snuffbox, Li Weiyang already knew about it, but she has always been optimistic, Li Xiaoran can't have children for Li Minzhi, but it is a great thing, and no one will threaten her brother's status anymore. Human nature is selfish, and she Li Weiyang only thinks about herself and her relatives, as for Li Xiaoran, his father has never taken care of her, so why should she care about him living or dead. can't have children, which means that he has to protect Li Minzhi well, and he has to fight for the strength of qiē, which is ridiculous when you think about it.

"What about Mother Rong?" Sun Yanjun said curiously, "I heard that the eldest uncle handed over Mother Rong to you that day, and when she pulled it out all the way, she scolded endlessly!" ”

"She can't speak anymore." Li Weiyang smiled faintly.

Sun Yanjun showed a surprised look on his face: "Are you dead?" ”

Li Weiyang glanced at Sun Yanjun, who was full of innocence, and felt that it was necessary to let her receive a cruel education, so he said lightly: "Zhao Yue, say it." ”

Zhao Yue said expressionlessly: "Miss thought that old woman was too noisy, so she directly ordered someone to cut her tongue." ”

Sun Yanjun was shocked, she didn't expect Li Weiyang to be so powerful. If it was her, it would just be a few boards to drive out, this shot was to cut out the tongue, it seemed too cruel, thinking of this, she said softly: "She is just loyal to her master, strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with it-"

"Yes, but ask Liu's mother for a painting, let Dr. He prescribe medicine for Aunt Seven, and even lay out for Jiang Yuelan, everything is indispensable to her, I have never said that she is wrong, but they have different positions, but since she is a loser, she must be willing to gamble and lose, life and death without resentment, what is the reason for scolding and scolding? If I had been in her position and had wiped my neck with scissors, why would I have fallen into the hands of the enemy and been tortured? This qiē is all her own fault, and she has nothing to do with others. Li Weiyang plucked a piece of candy and gently put it in his mouth.

Bai Zhi said with a smile: "Second young lady, Miss is also a good opportunity to make an example of the monkey." ”

Li Weiyang saw that Sun Yanjun still had an unbearable look in his eyes, and couldn't help but say slowly: "Others treat me well, I will naturally return the respect a hundred times, if I take the initiative to provoke, I will not be ...... wonder" She glanced at the courtyard not far away, and said coldly: "Not only Mother Rong, but also Mother Liu, who betrayed me, I can't tolerate her!" This time, I am teaching them a lesson, and I am also a warning to everyone, lest they will not be confused and think that I am soft-hearted, tolerant and merciful. ”

Sun Yanjun was young after all, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but bow his head and think for a long time, and finally had to admit that Li Weiyang was right, if anyone could design her, her life would be really difficult. People are like this, bullying the good and fearing the evil, Li Weiyang is so fierce that he can protect himself and his family. After the play was finished, Sun Yanjun followed Li Weiyang to her courtyard to sit, but found that even outside the open courtyard gate, many girls had gathered to probe their brains and whisper.

Sun Yanjun looked curious: "What's wrong?" What was you doing in your yard just now? ”

Li Weiyang smiled lightly, and there was no trace on his delicate face, but he said lightly: "I just ordered someone to beat Mother Liu out with fifty boards, as for Mother Rong, I threw her into a bag full of poisonous snakes, and then had someone hit the sack with a wooden plank——"

The courtyard was as quiet as if no one was there, and a few timid girls had already collapsed to the ground in fright, shivering like chaff. As soon as they saw Li Weiyang coming back, a look of fear suddenly appeared on their faces. Li Weiyang didn't say a word, and walked lightly among them. Among these people, there are also Jiang Yuelan or other masters who have been bought to keep an eye on her, and now let them know what the end of betraying the master will be, which is Li Weiyang's purpose.

"Did you hear the screams of Mother Rong just now!"

"What's more, my ears are going to be deaf, it's so scary! I have never seen the third lady make such a big fire, a person who is so kind on weekdays, it is really poisonous to launch a ruthless attack! ”

"That's it, I see that there is no one when I drag it out!"

"Blame herself for being bad, who is not good at calculating the third miss, is she easy to provoke? I didn't see that even Mrs. is being punished now, kneeling in the ancestral hall! The girl in the yard whispered.

Bai Zhi followed Li Weiyang to the steps, suddenly turned around, stared at the people with different expressions in the courtyard, and said, "You have all seen it, anyone who is bad behind his back will definitely not end well." Don't expect the people behind you to save people, once you are caught, you will die with no place to bury! Remind me to stop making mistakes! ”

Bai Zhi is the most trusted big girl by Li Weiyang's side, and everyone is so frightened that they immediately knelt down, their faces were like earth: "The slaves and maids dare not betray Miss, please rest assured, please rest assured Sister Bai Zhi." ”

Bai Zhi said coldly: "That's good." Otherwise, today's Rong mother will be you in the future. ”

Sun Yanjun couldn't help but be stunned when she saw it, when did even the girls around Li Weiyang become so powerful, looking at the appearance of the chilling cicada under the steps, she had a premonition that no one in this courtyard would dare to betray Li Weiyang in the future, because today they have endured a lifetime of fright, and no one will take the initiative to send them to find death.

Coincidentally, Jiang Yuelan had a miscarriage here, but there was good news from Concubine Lian in the palace. Now the most beautiful concubine in the palace is Concubine Lian, and the most favored by the emperor, as soon as he heard that the concubine was pregnant, the emperor was immediately very happy, and actually ordered a feast, inviting all the courtiers and women to the palace to celebrate. As the county lord of Erpin, Li Weiyang was also invited.

In the lotus courtyard, the old lady sat on the big kang leaning on the peony flower butterfly rich pillow, with a smile on her face, and said: "At this banquet, there is also a rumor in the palace that His Majesty wants to choose a concubine for the three princes and the seventh prince. As she spoke, she looked at Li Weiyang and said tentatively, "Weiyang, what do you think in your heart?" ”

Li Weiyang pretended not to be aware and said with a smile: "Presumably, Your Majesty wants to choose a suitable family background, appearance, and talent for the two princes, it seems that the tailor shops in Kyoto will be busy again in the past two days." ”

Seeing that she seemed to be very ignorant, Mrs. Li couldn't help sighing: "You don't have to pretend to be confused, I know your mind, and I have the heart to fulfill you, but it's a pity that I went to the palace last time, I mentioned this marriage to Concubine De, she actually refused, and said that she wanted to protect the media for you, it was really too deceitful, thinking that my child couldn't get married?" It's just a seventh prince, even if it's the future emperor, my family can't be there, and it doesn't matter if you don't enter the royal family, so as not to give birth to a lot of right and wrong. "The old lady has always been cautious, she has never said such things, and when she said this today, it was obvious that Concubine De was angry with her.

Li Weiyang knew in her heart that the old lady had always been proud, and she took the initiative to mention this matter to Concubine De, she was thinking about herself wholeheartedly, but she didn't know that she didn't mean that at all, she said softly at the moment: "Thank you for the old lady's compassion, it's just that people look down on us, and we don't have to cling to it, just don't have this matter." ”

Old Madam Li looked at her seriously, and saw that there was no trace of worry or regret on her face, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that you can think about it, otherwise you will feel sad when you see something you don't want to see at the banquet, and I will be wronged for you." I know Concubine De's thoughts, but I look down on you as a concubine, so we don't have to pay attention to her, and after a while, I'll find a good one for you. ”

Li Weiyang said with a smile: "Weiyang understands the importance of it, thank you for the old lady's concern." ”

The old lady nodded, but at this moment, she saw Luo's mother walking in quickly from outside, bowed down head-on, and said, "Old lady, big lady, she-she hanged herself...... Just been rescued. ”

The old lady stood up at once, and then—but sat down slowly. In the past ten days, although the truth of the matter has not been disseminated, there has always been more gossip than snakes, insects, rats and ants scurrying around in the dark corners. Although the girls were kicked out at the time, they didn't know the real situation, and they were also banned from talking nonsense afterwards, but they still hid in the corners of the wall in groups of three and five, and whenever no one saw them, they began to sneak around, talk to each other, and talk about things that add fuel and vinegar...... Although Li Xiaoran has made great efforts to rectify it and specially disposed of a few leaders, the gossip has not been cut off for a day, but it is like an endless spring grass, growing endlessly.

"Weiyang, you go on my behalf, see your mother." Old Madam Li was silent for a while, and finally said.

Li Weiyang raised his eyes, glanced at the old lady, didn't ask anything, just smiled slightly, and said, "Yes." ”

Li Wei retired from the central bank and walked out of the Lotus Courtyard unhurriedly. The garden in front of me was winter, much more deserted than before, the tiles were cold, the flowers and leaves were haggard, the grass was only sporadically dotted with gray wilted flowers, and the courtyard was extremely quiet, except for one or two bird chirps. Such an environment always makes people feel cold inexplicably, but Li Weiyang obviously doesn't care, she just walks through the decadent scene all the way, looking thoughtful.

"Miss, the old lady just said that you should go and see the eldest lady, what does this mean?" Bai Zhi whispered. Why did the old lady finish talking about the banquet in the palace, and then talked about letting the young lady go to visit Jiang Yuelan, this is something that has never happened before, "This is because of the hanging thing, forgive her?" ”

Li Weiyang just smiled and didn't answer.

The two came all the way to the courtyard where Jiang Yuelan lived, and since the incident, Jiang Yuelan was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, and knelt for ten days before being carried back to this courtyard and never came out again.

Seeing the third young lady, the girls in the yard looked at each other. Ah Luo came out of the house with a basin of water, and when she saw Li Weiyang coldly, her heart was shocked, her hand slipped, the basin of hot water was spilled, and her eyes were full of horror: "Miss...... Miss, why are you here—" A look of horror, a look of hell.

Li Weiyang smiled: "The old lady asked me to come to visit my mother. ”

Ah Luo was still dumbfounded, standing there without moving. Li Weiyang walked past her and walked straight to the house.

The door is half-hidden, there is sunlight walking in, it is very quiet inside, almost making people think that no one, Li Weiyang walked straight over, and saw Jiang Yuelan sitting on the big kang at a glance, wearing only a plain white underwear with plum blossoms, not even an outer robe, the more it seems that the face is bloodless, only the dark purple strangulation marks on the snow-white neck are particularly obvious, as if telling everyone that she has just been dragged back from the ghost door.

"Mother, how are you doing?" Li Weiyang's voice was pleasant, in a silent room, like the knocking of an ice bell in the wind, but it was gentle, and outsiders would never have thought that these two people in the room had such a great hatred.

Jiang Yuelan was suddenly stunned, and then turned her head suddenly, staring at Li Weiyang with vicious eyes. At this moment, in her eyes, Li Weiyang's cheeks seem to be carefully carved with white jade, a pair of eyes as deep as an ancient well, and with a slight blink, the long and slender eyelashes will give people a delicate and lovely feeling. A water-blue dress, with a sapphire butterfly, is just right, it looks extremely beautiful, and youthful! She is obviously a person of the same age as herself, why is she decaying and dying here day by day, but she is becoming more and more vivid? Why is God so unfair?

Jiang Yuelan looked at herself again, and she almost wanted to cry in annoyance. In just ten days, she seemed to be a teenager old, and when she looked in the mirror, the corners of her eyes were covered with fine lines, although they were as thin as spider silk, but she could still see them at a glance - desperately applying grease and powder, but still couldn't hide the haggard on her face. Before she was pregnant, she needed to keep replenishing, and her body was propped up like a balloon, but now although she had a miscarriage, her body could not recover immediately, and her waist seemed to have become a broken pocket, and she could only tightly tie the loose fat with a ribbon. She hadn't noticed how many shortcomings she had before, but now she did. It was because of the sudden discovery that I felt extremely unbearable.

Jiang Yuelan stared at Li Weiyang deadly, so depressed that she just wanted to cry, and her resentment and anger towards the other party became even stronger. If she has the opportunity, she will definitely avenge herself - in fact, she and Li Weiyang do not have a deep hatred, but because she fell in love with Li Minde, and then looked down on Li Weiyang's identity as a concubine who was more nourishing than her, so she formed a so-called enmity with Li Weiyang. Women are such strange things, even a little jealousy, at a critical moment, will turn into a prairie fire.

"Why are you here? Is it up to me to see how down? Jiang Yuelan looked at Li Weiyang, trying her best to suppress her hatred, saying word by word, but something like fangs loomed in her eyes.

"Mother said something, I just came to see you." Seeing Jiang Yuelan looking behind her, Li Weiyang smiled and said, "Mother doesn't have to wait, my father won't come, and neither will the old lady." ”

Jiang Yuelan's eyes were obviously disappointed, she thought that Li Xiaoran would have some feelings for her husband and wife for a hundred days, who would have thought that he would be so ruthless and unrighteous, so she believed Li Weiyang's words so credulously, thinking that her child was not his. Who could it be if it wasn't his? Jiang Yuelan wanted to sneer, but found that when the smile came to her mouth, it turned bitter.

Glancing at the cold food next to the table, but it was just cold steamed buns and half a bowl of coarse rice that even the inferior servants refused to touch, Li Weiyang smiled slightly: "My mother married into the Li family, and I am afraid that the food she eats on weekdays is all delicacies from the mountains and seas, and it is really wronged to treat you with such food." ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Jiang Yuelan's mouth, and the fangs in her eyes had gradually become clear. Li Weiyang's words aroused all kinds of grievances in her, she couldn't help gritting her teeth, and the sneer on her lips completely bloomed: "Becoming a king and losing a king, I will lose to you, but I am not as cunning as you." When I turn over one day, you may not fall into my hands, and you will definitely be worse than me at that time. ”

Li Weiyang smiled and said, "No one even cares about the trick of suicide, do you think it is still possible to turn over?" ”

Jiang Yuelan suddenly paused, and a chill covered her heart: she wanted to say that she would definitely be able to win Li Xiaoran back, but Li Weiyang's smile reminded her that now that Li Xiaoran was so contemptuous of her, would she believe her words? Even kneeling at his feet and pleading, it may only bring shame on oneself.

Yes, suicide to win sympathy is her last resort, if the other party doesn't even care about her life, can she still have a chance to turn over? Jiang Yuelan gritted her teeth and said, "I still have-"

"Oh, you mean, you still have your own maiden family and Jiang family. Since the accident, no one has come to visit you. Li Weiyang said slowly but cruelly. To them, you are just an outcast, who cares if you live or die? I heard that your mother's family is already plotting to marry your second sister into your father's wife, saying that she wants to find you a foil, you don't know yet. ”

This sentence pierced Jiang Yuelan's heart like a blood-red knife, and at that moment, she immediately realized that her miscarriage had disappointed her mother's family, and she hadn't even been able to give birth to a child for more than a year after being married, and they couldn't wait to send another daughter over to consolidate their position...... How can it be so incorruptible and shameful! She is still alive, and she is still the upright lady of the Li family! couldn't hold it, a cold tear flowed down from the corner of her eye, but Jiang Yuelan didn't look over, refused to let people see it, and spit out coldly for a long time: "I did lose, and I lost completely." But even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go! I will haunt you forever, so that you will not have a good day and night! ”

Li Weiyang heard this, but suddenly laughed, the smile on her face was very contemptuous, obviously not taking the other party in her eyes at all.

Jiang Yuelan felt that this laughter was like three scoops of ice water splashing directly into her heart, and she couldn't help but shiver, and her momentum was involuntarily thwarted. "I ...... I...... I ......" She suddenly lost the strength to fight, became extremely discouraged, and cried out loudly and dejectedly, and then threw herself under Li Weiyang's feet: "Third Miss, I don't dare to go against you anymore, let me go!" Would you like to give me a way out? ”

Li Weiyang looked at her with half pity and half mockery: "I never meant to put you to death, so why should my mother be so afraid?" As she spoke, she instructed Arlo, "Lift your lady up, what does this look like?" ”

A Luo hurriedly went to help Jiang Yuelan, but she pushed her away, and she said loudly: "I know that if you are willing to come, it means that I am still valuable, right?" As long as I am in one day, Li Xiaoran will not marry a wife, and no one else will come in to threaten the status of Aunt Seven and Minzhi, now he will not have any more children, and I will not be able to get pregnant again, in this way, Minzhi will be the only son in this family, and this situation is also beneficial to you, isn't it? Let me go, I will never go against you again, if there is any situation in the Jiang family, I will also sue you, no, I can even help you deal with them, as long as you let me continue to sit in this position, as long as you can help me not let my sister enter the door, I will depend on you for everything! Just now, she has figured it out, what Li Minde, what mother's family, she is the most important, Li Weiyang, she doesn't dare to provoke anymore, all enemies who can't win should become friends, this is her way of survival for so many years, instead of letting her mother's family send someone to tear down the stage for herself, it is better to turn against Li Weiyang, and there will be a turnaround......

Li Weiyang smiled slightly and said, "Ah Luo, wipe away your tears for your wife, her current body can't bear to cry like this." ”

That's the promise! Jiang Yuelan wiped away her tears and stood up, but she stumbled and fell to the ground, Ah Luo hurriedly went to help her, she immediately said: "I will not live up to your affection for helping me, if there is any movement in the Jiang family in the future, I will be the first to sue you!" ”

Li Weiyang's smile was a little cold, and he said, "I hope so." "She kept Jiang Yuelan, but because it could be of great use in the future, for the enemy, her heart had already turned into ice and snow, and she had no sympathy.

A Luo reluctantly helped Jiang Yuelan to lie down, Li Weiyang looked at her unsteady steps, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, she had just had a miscarriage and knelt in the ice and snow for so long, seeing that her legs and feet were no longer very flexible, and I heard that she occasionally vomited blood...... How long can such a person live, he should still hurry up. Thinking of this, Li Weiyang stopped looking at the people in the room, turned around and walked out.

In the room, Ah Luo asked in a low voice, "Madam, do you really want to take refuge in the third lady?" ”

Jiang Yuelan's face was dejected, although her eyes still had hatred, she was already exhausted, she glanced at A Luo, and said, "It's not that I want to take refuge, but I have to take refuge in her." Now that I'm alive, I'm still somewhat useful to her, so she keeps me. If one day I'm useless, no one will pay attention to me. Li Weiyang is certainly angry, but what I hate most is Li Xiaoran, a wolf-hearted thing, I am pregnant with his child, but he didn't ask me to punish me for kneeling, I will leave the root of the disease for the rest of my life, I will never forgive him, even if I go to hell, I will drag him with me! ”

Jiang Yuelan's hatred has gradually shifted to Li Xiaoran, who ruined her life, A Luo saw her gritting her teeth, she couldn't help but tremble, and persuaded her: "Madam, the master just can't think about it for a while - don't take it to heart." ”

Jiang Yuelan snorted coldly, but stopped talking.

On the fifteenth of February, a feast in the palace. The emperor sat on the throne, the empress sat beside him, the concubine lotus wore precious jewels on her head, and in the moonlight, she flashed a luxurious fluorescence, and her position was close to the emperor, but she looked more noble than the empress. Concubine De was at the bottom, and this time, her whole person seemed very quiet, making people seem to be unable to feel that she was also one of the four concubines in the harem. However, this is not surprising, after Concubine Wu Xian was given death, Concubine Mei Guifei was unlucky because of the rebellion of the five princes, and now among the four concubines, only Concubine Zhang De and Concubine Rou remain, and Concubine Rou's health has always been not very good, and she was unable to attend this banquet, so Concubine Zhang Defei became more and more low-key.

The palace maids shuttled back and forth, serving plates of delicacies, the emperor smiled and kept talking to the lotus concubine next to him in a low voice, obviously very favored, and the important ministers in the audience saw it in their eyes, and their hearts were all different.

When Concubine Lian was proud, other women in the harem were also worried, such as the most noble woman in the harem, the queen. She sat aside, looking at the shy Concubine Lian, and was extremely jealous in her heart, this child ...... If it's a princess, everyone is happy, but if it's a prince, it means too many problems.

In the royal family, the heir to the throne is generally the eldest son, and the crown prince meets this requirement today, but if the emperor likes it, it is not a big problem to change people in battle, such as when the prince makes a mistake. Originally, there were many people around the crown prince, but now there is another little prince who is favored by the emperor, and this day is even more sad.

In the final analysis, even if this child was born a boy, he was just a baby, and what could he turn over, but the queen felt that since Zhou Dashou improved the original elixir, the emperor's health was not bad, and it would not be a problem to live for more than ten years...... After all, now the emperor looks at the prince more and more unpleasantly! If the position of the crown prince is robbed, even if the emperor will not treat her for the sake of many years of husband and wife, when the new emperor who has no blood relationship with her ascends the throne one day, she is afraid that the queen mother will only be a decoration. Therefore, this child cannot be a prince in any way, otherwise, she does not dare to imagine what the future will be......

Although Li Weiyang sat at the bottom of the steps, he keenly saw the queen's expression, but lowered his head and smiled slightly, at this time, she suddenly noticed that a fiery gaze was fleeting on her, Li Weiyang raised his head slightly, but saw Tuoba Zhen sitting not far away, and his meaningful eyes collided with her.

Li Weiyang's expression froze for a moment, Tuoba Zhen looked at her deeply, then raised the wine glass, smiled slightly, and drank it all. In Li Weiyang's heart, a strange feeling suddenly appeared. This person, as if he is determined to win her, is he really so confident?

"Weiyang, what's wrong with you?"

Sun Yanjun's concerned words drifted into his ears, Li Weiyang came back to his senses, saw her worried eyes, smiled slightly, and lowered his head, "I just looked at the beautiful scenery tonight, and I lost my mind for a while." ”

"That's good." I saw Li Weiyang in a daze just now...... I thought she had something on her mind, Sun Yanjun thought in his heart. However, Li Weiyang's expression has recovered as before, and people can't see the slightest clue.

Jiang Hua, who was not far away, saw this qiē in his eyes, and couldn't help sneering, but it was accompanied by a violent cough, he covered the bloodshot on his lips, pretended to be nothing, and drank a glass of wine. Since the last time he was angry with Li Weiyang, he has been sick in bed for three months, and he couldn't even get out of bed just before he came to the banquet. But he still came, because he knew that Li Weiyang would definitely come, and if he didn't come, he would show weakness.

originally thought that Li Weiyang would notice him, but the other party's eyes were not looking at him for a moment, and they didn't even notice that he was coming. Even when they met occasionally, he didn't see a trace of human feelings in Li Weiyang's eyes. The woman on the opposite side had the willpower and action that were not inferior to his, so strong that people were scared and trembled. Because of this, he can't afford to lose to her! This is absolutely not possible! Jiang Hua's fingers pinching the wine glass were faintly white, although there were braziers around him and hot wine in his hands, he still felt that nothing could dispel the cold in his body.

Grandfather obviously said that he was the smartest person in the calendar, the bravest strategist, and the soul of the entire army, but why would he lose to a little-known little girl, this is not fair at all! Erasing his own viciousness and selfishness, Jiang Hua at this moment put all the faults on others, and didn't want to fail, but the fact that he had failed could not be changed. Especially when he saw Li Weiyang's delicate and calm face, it was as if a nerve in his head had suddenly broken, and something kept shouting in his head: Defeat her, kill her!

Jiang Xu reminded in a low voice: "Hua'er, can you still hold on?" ”

Father's worry made Jiang Hua sober up all of a sudden, he smiled, suppressed the violent factor in his body, and said: "Father, rest assured, my illness has fully recovered, and there will be no problem on an occasion like today." ”

Jiang Xu glanced at him worriedly, Jiang Hai is dead, Jiang Nan will never see the light, he has lost two sons in succession, even his nephew has disappeared, he doesn't want to lose Jiang Hua anymore: "Your grandfather is about to return to Beijing, and your second brother has already gone to greet him, so relax." Jiang Xu comforted.

Of course, Jiang Hua knew that his grandfather Jiang Guogong was coming back soon, but he didn't want his grandfather, who had always regarded himself as proud, to see him look so depressed now. Thinking of this, his fists clenched involuntarily, and now he believed that he might really be sick. He grew up in the army with his grandfather, and others praised him for his intelligence and strategy, but few people knew that he was actually the most violent of the five boys in the Jiang family. When he was six years old, he once injured a playmate and lay in bed for half a year, but the reason was that someone else said that you are as delicate as a little girl! Angry on the spot and ignoring his usual friendship, he rushed up and punched the boy, breaking the bridge of his nose and three ribs, and finally two adults were dispatched to pull him away. He regretted seeing his playmate hurt like that, but the most difficult thing for him to accept was that he had no restraint in the angry situation at that time.

Afterwards, his grandfather saw that he was depressed and closed all day, so he invited a famous doctor for him, and the doctor once suggested that he should learn self-restraint, and also suggested that he might be suffering from some kind of aggressive disease, so over the years, he cultivated his mind and cultivated his temperament, and tried his best to suppress the violent anger in his heart, but Li Weiyang easily let him release the beast in his heart, and he was going to be driven crazy by her little by little.

Fortunately, this situation will soon change...... Jiang Hua thought so in his heart, and a sneer appeared on his face.

Li Minde saw the surging dark tide of everyone in his eyes, but raised his eyebrows lightly. Tuoba Yu, Tuoba Zhen, and the Jiang family, one by one, have bad intentions towards Weiyang, should he do something to warn them? A smile curled up on his lips, and Li Minde showed a habitual smile.

Li Weiyang's eyes inadvertently fell on Li Minde's face, and he couldn't help but pause slightly, every time this kind of smile appeared on his handsome face, it meant that he began to calculate others. She wondered who would be unlucky this time?

At this moment, the crown prince suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Father, the son has something to do." ”

The emperor raised his eyes, glanced at him, and said, "Say it." The attitude was a little lukewarm, and the queen next to her felt a little uncomfortable, but she could only suppress herself.

The crown prince didn't seem to care, and said with a smile: "The envoy of Mobei has arrived in Kyoto today, and he wants to present a gift to his father tonight." ”

Mobei is a vast and sparsely populated country in the north of the Great Calendar, the people live on horseback and shooting, the folk customs are very strong, for many years and the Great Calendar are in the open and secret fighting, conflicts and disputes continue, but there has been no major war in the past ten years, and the relationship between the two countries is very delicate. Seeing this situation, the third prince Tuoba Zhen offered to divide seven cities between the two countries for trade, so that the Mobei people could use their special products, such as horses, sheep, camels, mink skins and other things to exchange silk fabrics, porcelain, gold and silverware, tea and ironware of the Great Calendar Dynasty, and set up special officials to control the prices of goods on both sides, so as to make the transaction as fair as possible, so that the relationship between the two countries was quickly eased, and the Mobei envoy came to the Great Calendar, which was not an uncommon thing.

The Emperor nodded, and said with a smile on his face: "In that case, please invite the messenger to the palace." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw the palace maids who were originally dancing softly retreated, and in a blink of an eye, I saw the figures gathering on the empty ground in front of the hall and the drums sounding. After a while, I saw the musicians and drummers come out and start playing. The tall masked drummer raised a peculiar shape of the drum on his head, and then the drumstick fell lightly on the drum surface, and the sound was like a sudden burst of a mountain stream, or like the vibration of a stone suddenly falling into the abyss, and soon, one after the other, became more and more intense and urgent. The musicians next to the drummer also began to play the instruments in their hands, and for a while, the sound of the pipa joined the drum, but it did not weaken the momentum of the drum at all, but made the whole instrument show an impassioned state. At this moment, the drums became more and more urgent, and everyone seemed to see the scene of thousands of troops rushing to kill in front of them. By now, the drummer is already sweating, his face is solemn, and his whole body is moving!

Li Weiyang frowned, such an impassioned song, and the artistic conception is so peculiar, it is definitely not something that ordinary craftsmen can manipulate! This drummer --

At this moment, the drummer suddenly dropped the mallet, stroked the drum with his hand, and beat desperately, but it was more intense and clear than the original drum sound! All the instruments seemed to stop for a while, and everyone who was accustomed to seeing the soft song and dance performance of the Great Calendar looked at the people in front of them in a daze, and was speechless for a while, until a moment later, when the drumming stopped abruptly, and everyone woke up.

The prince, who had been sitting in his seat, suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Good! The four princes have good skills! ”

The drummer laughed loudly, walked forward quickly, took off his mask, bowed to the Emperor of Dali, and said, "Li Yuanheng, the fourth prince of Mobei, has seen His Majesty the Emperor of Dali. ”

The man who called himself Li Yuanheng is not very old, with a knife-like angular face, the contours of his face are very deep, two thick black sword eyebrows pressed against the deep eye sockets, a tall and straight nose bridge and resolute lips all show a vigorous heroic spirit. He wore a high fur hat on his head, inlaid with gold and silver ornaments and jewels and jade—long black hair was exposed under the felt hat, which was braided according to the custom of Mobei, and decorated with crimson or dark green jade beads.

As if feeling the attention of the female dependents, after he finished saying this, he suddenly turned his head to look at the female dependents, and his gaze suddenly stopped in one of the places.
