Chapter 168: The First Scheming

But at sunset, the clouds took on a crimson color, reflected in the rushing stream. The stream seemed to be covered with a deep and sacred veil, and it set off the solemnity of the sunset.

At dusk, the peasants who were farming in the fields also began to put away their hoes, carry them on their shoulders, and sing their wild songs, and gather in twos and threes to return home and eat.

And Xiao Wanyin was fine, she chose to run out directly under such a sky. No one will control her freedom anyway, she can go wherever she likes, she is really like an eagle in the sky, she is used to it.

At this hour, she was sitting under a tree with a crooked neck, looking at the sun like the red yolk of Grandma's boiled eggs, and humming a little song softly.

It wasn't until rhythmic footsteps sounded behind him that Xiao Wanyin's singing came to an abrupt end. Hearing the sound of footsteps standing behind her, Xiao Wanyin didn't say much, but comfortably tidied up her robe, allowing her beauty to be fully revealed.

"What I explained to you, you did a good job, the spread is sprinkled, and my ears are about to grind out of cocoons when I listen to it." Xiao Wanyin said half proudly, half coquettishly. If it was a man opposite, he would definitely be fascinated by Xiao Wanyin's flattering gestures, and he wouldn't know what it was.

It's a pity that standing in front of Xiao Wanyin at this moment is the maidservant girl she instructed that day, and this also makes Xiao Wanyin's heart really dissatisfied.

Hmph, the old lady's posture is all blind in vain, and no one appreciates it!

"It's all the girl's plan." Anyway, even if the maid really doesn't like Xiao Wanyin in her heart, the maid has to say some scenes for her own livelihood.

"Hmph, isn't this inevitable, after all, it's a clever plan I came up with, wouldn't it be a pity if it was useless!" However, even though it is a scene, there are always a few people who have the cheekiness to take full credit for themselves.

The maidservant was even more disdainful of Xiao Wanyin's behavior in her heart, but Xiao Wanyin continued to ask: "I heard that the eldest prince is here today, did you find out anything?" ”

The maidservant who had to continue to answer the question could only briefly let go of her prejudice against Xiao Wanyin, and said respectfully: "Back to the girl's words, I heard that the eldest prince called the Xiao Lixiao girl away today, and also turned General Hui Shao around in a hurry, but there was nothing to do. ”

is worthy of being a servant girl who knows how to observe words and feelings, and knows what Xiao Wanyin likes to listen to the most, which is to accentuate what Xiao Wanyin likes to say. is so scheming, I'm afraid that Xiao Wanyin will be too late.

It's a pity that Xiao Wanyin didn't realize that the handmaid in front of her was so powerful, she was just immersed in her own short little victory. I saw her clapping her hands, surrounding the crooked neck tree, and shouting loudly.

"I didn't expect this girl's strategy to be so successful."

A hint of cunning flashed in Xiao Wanyin's eyes, and when she knew that her plan was beginning to work, she planned to roll up her sleeves and move on to the next step.

Because she knew that since the eldest prince had come here, Hui Shangyi naturally couldn't be like a dead man and do nothing. He will set up a banquet in the military tent to welcome the arrival of the great prince.

The previous meeting between the eldest prince and Xiao Li could be described as a private meeting in name, because the captain of the guard beside the eldest prince did not expect that Xiao Li would be with Hui Shangyi. As a result, Hui Shangyi and the eldest prince both had a very tacit understanding and did not mention Xiao Li's affairs.

The former is hoping that more things are better than less, while the latter is trying to wait and see what the timing is and choose the best time to start.

Although the two of them have their own careful thoughts about each other, when the two of them met, their enthusiasm almost made the people next to them mistakenly think that it was not an old friend who had not seen each other for many years, and they were able to meet today.

Obviously, if the acting skills of the two people are placed in modern times, they can go home with an Oscar award every minute, and they all have to give way to the side.

"General Hui Shao has been heartbroken for the important things of the country in recent days, and this prince has come to the army to encourage the fighting spirit of our soldiers and generals with his father's expectations and entrustment to General Hui Shao."

The eldest prince smiled and raised his glass. The daughter red that has been brewed for many years has a unique and mellow fragrance, even if you haven't drunk it yet, just a gentle smell is enough to make people swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva in a row.

The eldest prince raised his wine glass high, as if he was drunk, and said loudly: "And now, our soldiers and generals must know that the emperor has never abandoned us, and the country has never abandoned us. Even if you are at the border, your safety is still a concern in our hearts. When you are about to leave, our hearts will be with you anytime and anywhere! ”

At this time, Hui Shangyi had to admire, it was really the emperor's eldest prince, so eloquent, in the future in the battle for the heir, how much benefit would that mouth bring to the eldest prince. 17

At least Hui Shangyi can see now that all the soldiers and generals present are all moved by the eldest prince.

"Come, generals, let us all dry this wine, swallow it in our stomachs, and keep in mind the expectations of our people!" The eldest prince shouted again, he replaced the cup with a small wine jar, and called him three seven twenty-one, that is, poured it into his mouth.

But this practice really made Hui Shangyi feel a little distressed, and he wanted to dissuade him, maybe it would cause others to criticize him if he thought about it.

But this is a century-old wine, and it needs to be savored. If you drink it recklessly like the Great Prince, what kind of taste can you drink, only spicy taste!

Even if his heart was hurting, Hui Shangyi had to accompany the already ossified smiling face and look at the "nonsense" of the eldest prince.

After the great prince's impassioned speech, it should be quite a relaxed singing and dancing, so that everyone present can let go of the restraint that has come from afar because of the distinguished guests and immerse themselves in the world of joy.

So, a group of dancing girls dressed as Hu girls came on the stage with bare white feet. The eldest prince was swept unintentionally, but his eyes paused for a long time for one of the bearded girls. It was there that the eldest prince poured wine for himself, wanting to have a drink with Hui Shangyi, but now, the wine had already overflowed the glass.

Hui Shangyi hurriedly reminded loudly, this seemed to recall the eldest prince's fluttering consciousness. The eldest prince, whose eyes became clear and no longer confused, continued to talk and laugh with Hui Shangyi as if nothing had happened.

And seeing that the eldest prince avoided talking about it, where would Hui Shangyi come up and force the eldest prince to speak. He could only pretend to be stupid while observing what was going on in this scene, which made the eldest prince so fascinated.

Until he saw Xiao Wanyin's figure......

After the banquet, everyone present drank crookedly, and some even held wine glasses and muttered in their mouths. If you listen carefully, it is not difficult to see that the drunken man is saying, "Come, continue, go, have a drink!" ”

"Ouch, it's really the god of wine who has descended, and continue to have a drink, I'm really not afraid to drink myself to death in the drunken country." After receiving the silver taels, the mothers-in-law who were ordered to come to clean were the ones who swept away all the food residues with a light car, and Mrs. Li was one of them.

She complained and cleaned up diligently, and although she frowned, there was not the slightest displeasure on her face. She was still happy after all, because she knew that these soldiers and generals were here for their safety, and how could they throw their faces.

It was halfway through the clean-up that Mrs. Li came to the door, but she saw two figures with her spare eyes.

Looking closely, it turned out to be Hui Shangyi and Xiao Wanyin.

As early as at the banquet, when I saw Xiao Wanyin dressed as a dancing girl, Hui Shangyi's thought flashed that this woman must have other thoughts, otherwise she would not have been so scheming to get involved and do such a thing that made her identity cheaper.

So, after the banquet, Hui Shangyi deliberately found Xiao Wanyin and asked her, "What are you pretending to be a dancing girl for at the banquet?" ”

Where would Hui Shangyi have thought that Xiao Wanyin glanced at Hui Shangyi timidly, and his wet eyes seemed to have been wronged, so he could only hear Xiao Wanyin whisper: "I, I just want to share my worries for Major General Hui, and I have no other thoughts." Wan Yin has changed her ways! ”

The words were so moving, and there was no flaw in the slightest, so that Hui Shangyi had no idea where to start. Hui Shangyi knew that this was clearly an excuse, but in the end he waved his hand and let Xiao Wanyin leave.

Just when Mrs. Li thought that the matter was over, a clear and cold voice suddenly came, which startled Mrs. Li.

I only heard Mrs. Li complaining in a low voice: "Really, when is there still a person standing over there, it's really scary to death!" ”

And Xie Yunxiu didn't think so, he also attended the banquet, and he also saw Xiao Wanyin's figure under Hui Shangyi's signal. is as smart as him, he just analyzed Xiao Wanyin's mind almost thoroughly at that time.

"I think she's just trying to get the attention of the eldest prince." Xie Yunxiu looked at Xiao Wanyin's departing back and said so.

"However, even if we guess her mind, we can only temporarily snoop because there is no evidence." Seeing Hui Shangyi's vain shining eyes, Xie Yunxiu didn't know Hui Shangyi's thoughts. I saw that Xie Yunxiu immediately shook his head and vetoed Hui Shangyi's idea.

As a result, Hui Shangyi's figure fell again.
