Chapter 148: The Feast is Frightened
"Xiao Qi, go back. Brother Rong'er's fever has almost subsided. You're bothered. Laiyang slowly woke up Ouyang Huaisen, who was about to fall asleep.
"Is my sister finally willing to ignore me?" Ouyang Huaisen rubbed his sleepy eyes. It's like a kitten who has just woken up and has been disturbed by a good dream.
"Let's go out and talk." After Laiyang explained to Brother Rong'er, the nurse finally came to the hall.
"Xiao Qi, it's only been a few days, and you've forgotten all about my words." Laiyang poured himself a cup of tea and brought it to his mouth. What she was angry about was what Ouyang Huaisen said in person that made Ouyang Huaiyu die, but now she regretted it, is everything just a show in front of her?
Before Ouyang Huaisen could speak, Lai Yang began to prepare again to prepare this younger brother. "If you really only do face-saving work in front of me, Xiao Qi, you shouldn't have promised me at that time, and you shouldn't have asked the emperor to ask Xia Zhixue to be your fiancΓ©e. Now this stage is really good, and it has even pulled in the relationship between Xiao Nineteen and Xia Zhixue. β
Before Ouyang Huaisen came, he had expected that Laiyang would give him a good lecture, but he still couldn't help but want to refute Laiyang.
"Sister, I promised you before that you don't know Xia Zhixue's personality. Before I really got to know her, I knew that she was very angry, and I always felt that one day I would hurt the people around her, which is why you always wanted Xiao Nineteen to stay away from her. β
"However, after really understanding, I began to gradually understand Xia Zhixue's anger. I also lost my mother at a very early age, although my sister and mother were very kind to me, and I have always regarded you as my own family in my heart, but in the dead of night, I always think of that miserable night. You and I both know my mother's grievances, but I don't have the ability to avenge her. How deep the water in the harem really is, you can only really understand it by experiencing it yourself. β
"Xia Zhixue is like another me, but she is completely different from me, she used her own anger to avenge her own mother, I just want to help me who has always been lonely and inferior when I help her." Ouyang Huaisen smiled bitterly. He knew that Laiyang didn't agree with Xia Zhixue. But the fact is that he can't give up helping Xia Zhixue, because that seems to be a straw in his heart. If he doesn't catch it, he may regret it for the rest of his life.
"Experiences are one thing, feelings are another. The people who lived in the deep palace had a sincere heart, but in the end they were all destroyed and left. Xia Zhixue's character is suitable for being an ordinary friend, as a woman, I appreciate her courage, but as the sister of you and Xiao Nineteen, I will never allow her to do anything to hurt you! β
"Brother Rong has been sick for two days, and I didn't dare to close my eyes for the past two days, for fear that something would go wrong. But when you were young, once the two of you fell from a tree, I took care of the two of you day and night. How important you two are to me, Xiao Qi, you can't understand. Laiyang closed his eyes, he was really tired.
"Anyway. If you continue to help Xiao Nineteen and Xia Zhixue get entangled like this, I will take action myself. Laiyang stood up and went back to the room, leaving only Ouyang Huaisen with an emaciated back.
On the way back to the palace, Ouyang Huaisen thought for a long time. He didn't know if he was doing the right thing. After listening to Laiyang's words, he forcibly dismantled a pair of lovers, and now even if he understands Xia Zhixue, he can't really ignore Laiyang, after all, Xia Zhixue is just a girl who has an eye for only a few months, and Laiyang is a good sister throughout his childhood life.
From Laiyang's point of view, Ouyang Huaisen thought for a long time, maybe he was really selfish. He just wanted to make up for the guilt caused by his previous behavior, but if Xiao Nineteen really did something extreme for Xia Zhixue, the guilt at that time would no longer be just a little bit like now.
Ouyang Huaisen felt that he might not help Xiao Nineteen and Xia Zhixue anymore.
It didn't take long for the daughter of Murong Hou's mansion to hold a tea party. The host of this tea party is the fifth lady of Murong Houfu. This fifth lady is a close friend of Princess Laiyang, although the two are more than ten years apart, they are almost a round. But the two talked happily. This tea party was also held by Princess Laiyang in private with Miss Murong Wu.
The tea party invited many daughters and young masters. After a round of tea tasting, everyone gathered in a pile and started chatting. 126 Chinese Net
Xia Zhixue and her dear sister Xia Zhiqiu are also on the list. Laiyang's eyes glanced at Xia Zhixue intentionally or unintentionally. She had heard a little about the Su family. Laiyang knew that the success of this matter was indispensable for his two younger brothers, Xia Zhixue, who secretly helped.
Lai Yang took a sip of tea, looking at Xia Zhixue's black hole-like eyes, but his mind was distracted. They are all black-eyed people who have no heart, and they are the easiest to coax, Laiyang smiled, this Xia Zhixue may be an exception.
Laiyang's eyes looked at his own brother again. Ouyang Huaiyu's eyes also have to look at Xia Zhixue from time to time, and he can't hide his eyes if he likes one, especially when Laiyang looks at his younger brother who has known him for so many years, this color is familiar. She was going to give Xia Zhixue a small warning at this tea party, so as not to continue to be so entangled with Xiao Nineteen, which was really head-scratching.
Ouyang Huaisen claimed that he was unwell and did not appear at this tea party, presumably what he said yesterday had an effect. Laiyang thought. Fortunately, without this brother's trouble, the plan might have gone more smoothly.
A group of people in the back mountain were already ready, waiting for the master's order to start attacking. Lai Yang turned the handkerchief in his hand, and then handed one of his jade pendants to a servant girl beside him. The maidservant quietly took the jade pendant and left the banquet in a hurry.
Halfway through the "Hongmen Banquet", a "poof" sound of falling water alarmed everyone present.
"What? Did someone fall overboard? β
"This is in the waiting house, how could this happen?"
"Listening to the sound should be in the back mountain, why don't you go and see it?"
Whispers began in the crowd. People are quite interested in this kind of gossip.
"Go see what's going on." The fifth lady waved her sleeves and instructed the mother-in-law next to her. After the mother-in-law got the order, she began to rush to the back mountain.
Before the mother-in-law could reach the back mountain, she saw a group of guards carrying an extremely beautiful woman who was soaked in water to the shore.
The crowd began to panic.
"Could it be that Hou Ye's daughter got into trouble, right? How could such a thing happen in broad daylight? β
"That seems to be the Oiran of the first two days of the Jade Tower? How did it end up in the back garden of the Houfu? β
There were some people in the crowd who felt sorry for this woman, and some who were panicked about falling into the water, and the banquet was not lively for a while. Xia Zhixue stepped forward to look at the woman, the woman's face was pale, but she seemed to be holding something tightly in her hand.
The next second, Xia Zhixue covered her mouth, it was the hairpin that Ouyang Huaisen gave her!
