Chapter 268: Persecution
As the sun sets, the palace is extremely lively.
The two princes rushed back to the capital without knowing the destination, but the emperor issued an order and happily held a big game.
Gu Shenwan also received an invitation letter, but the invitation did not reveal any unnecessary information, only that it was to wash the dust for the two princes and bring thousands of people to celebrate together.
"Recently, there has been a storm in the shadows, and there is nothing to celebrate." Gu Shendui hesitated for a moment, but decided to dress up and go to attend.
But in terms of dressing, he kept his own thoughts, and deliberately chose clothes that were more convenient for movement, even if he was dressed up, he would abandon those cumbersome skirts as soon as possible.
There are constantly people coming and going at the banquet, and this time the emperor really used the largest venue to invite, and as many people as possible looked extremely grand.
After everyone arrived, there was a series of dancing girls standing in the middle and dancing, the long water sleeves fluttering gracefully in the air, the slender posture of the dancing girls and the sound of silk and bamboo not far away, everyone was immersed in this wonderful enjoyment.
Gu Shendu's position was not very inconspicuous, but the distance from the Gu family was not very far, this distance was enough for the big lady to notice her, but she just swept over coldly, just as if she didn't see it.
Slightly relieved, he poured himself a glass of sweet fruit wine to quench his thirst, and continued to watch the gorgeous dance and listen to the pleasant sound of silk and bamboo.
"It's good, it's beautiful, and it deserves to be commended."
"Li Yanhai, how do you say it's better to reward them, whether to add some gold and silver treasures or reward glory and wealth."
Li Yanhai smiled, looking at the group of apprehensive girls, the oldest of whom was only twenty-eight years old, "Weichen feels that he is as beautiful as a flower, and he is naturally suitable for pampering in the future." ”
"At such a good age, you shouldn't be tired every day."
The emperor curled the corners of his lips and applauded, and his eyes fell on the group of dancing girls in front of him with interest, "Since you pity the jade so much, then these dancing girls will be sent to your mansion, and I think you will definitely treat each of them well." ”
Li Yanhai's face changed slightly, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate, these people are the emperor's yours, if these little girls go to my mansion, they can only wait for their faces to disappear in the end, it's a pity, it's better to send it to a few princes' mansions, it's a good story of a village with red sleeves and a talented and beautiful woman." ”
As soon as these words came out, many people stared at him.
Now that several princes are clean and self-conscious, the positions of the princess and the side concubine have not yet been decided, if such a group of young girls are sent first, will it be idle or some kind of signal if they are sent over.
After all, the princes are handsome and very capable, and they have the opportunity to be honored in the future, only the king of Bei'an now has a princess, but the remaining princes and even the crown prince have not determined the candidate for the main wife.
Without waiting for the emperor to speak, Ye Wangqing first rejected these people with a cynical attitude, "My mansion is idle all the year round, and I really can't accommodate these beauties, and Nancheng is even worse, there are too many enemies, maybe someone will break in and kill." ”
When it came to the last four words, the tone was slightly lengthened, and several young dancers couldn't help but tremble.
I really don't want to keep up with such a evil god, and I don't know when I will die without a place to bury.
The emperor seemed to be a little helpless, and slowly fell his gaze on Ye Wuya, "You ......"
"Erchen doesn't want to delay these young women, and in the future, he just wants to be accompanied by a loved one."
Gu Shendui clearly saw that the dancers on the stage were about to shed tears, even if they were covered by the light veil, but the amorous eyes had already turned red, and it seemed that they could fall bean-sized tears at any time, hidden under the light veil.
She didn't continue to look more, but she only listened with her ears, but she also heard that Li Yan finally agreed to take these young girls into her home, saying that she wanted to eat and drink to provide for them.
Although they are just some dancing girls, after all, they are signed by the saints, and they can be regarded as royal gifts that cannot be easily destroyed, and the offerings of good food and drink are the most basic, and they must not be easily damaged.
Ye Qianli suddenly chuckled, although this voice was faint, it was still enough for everyone else to hear.
Playing with the small and delicate wine glass in his hand, his eyes did not fall anywhere, and he said casually: "Lord Li really pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and if the real person meets him, he should not go over to salute, after all, he has been face-to-face." ”
A very thin looking maid beside him raised her head timidly to reveal a face the size of a palm, with a slender and thin chin, and a pair of watery eyes that made people can't help but feel pity when they look at it.
She looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a little helplessly, and finally bit her lower lip and moved two steps forward, looking like she was about to walk over.
Li Yanhai's pupils constricted as early as when he saw her appearance, and he unconsciously clenched the wine glass tightly, almost crushing the porcelain glass in his hand into pieces.
"My lord, slave...... I've seen adults! The maid was trembling all over, and there was a shocking scar on the slender neck that was exposed from the underground skull.
The fact that this scar was only a little visible today was enough to arouse reverie, for it was evident that it was only a small part, and under the cover of the clothes, there were many such deep scars that could be seen in the bone.
Li Yanhai didn't see the little girl on the first place, but approached the prince, "What do you mean by this?" Weichen really didn't understand, she did work as a house slave in my house, but she had already run away, and I hadn't seen her for several years. ”
"Yes, I don't know, there is such a reason for this, because this person was picked up by this king at the back door of Li's mansion a few days ago, and he was covered with dirt at that time, and he could only make inarticulate whimpers, as if he was often accompanied by animals."
"At that time, I looked really pitiful, so I took it back for treatment, only to find that there were many wounds on my body, most of them were traces of whipping, and most of the wounds were old, and I wanted to ask Master Li if he knew about this."
How can everyone not know what this means, there will inevitably be some unsightly things in the major families, but no one wants to be so dark about the affairs of the original Li family.
Only one of these people did not pay attention to Li Yanhai, who was forced to come to the stage, but stared closely at the girl who was paralyzed on the ground and couldn't stop shaking.
This time has been pulled out, and every gaze of others, especially when the culprit is in front of her, is a great suffering for a girl who has already been traumatized.
