Chapter 15: The Heart of the Heart Separates the Belly (1)
His Royal Highness King Ning and Princess Pei Yuanchang had a very close relationship, but the princess was disgraced, leaving only one son, so she went early.
In the eighteenth year of Wu Yao, the first emperor was the master and gave the daughter of the Pan family as the step-concubine of King Ning, and after careful calculation, the two have lived together under the same roof for more than ten years.
"Uncle Ning Wang is a person with deep affection, in fact, according to me, if it weren't for the decree of the first emperor back then, Uncle Wang remarried the daughter of the Pan family as a stepconcubine, according to Uncle Wang's temperament, most of these years would not have been remarried."
Coming out of King Ning's courtyard, Wen Lian said, and couldn't help but sigh and make people, "It's also unjust, not long after Concubine Pan entered the door, Pei's and Pan's faces were torn, Ning Wang Shusu was close to Pei's family, and because of the old love of Aunt Wang, it was normal for people to look back at Pan's disgust." ”
Pei Yaowei listened silently, feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Wen Lian knew her too well, and when she saw her like this, she knew what she was thinking, "What, the old problem has been committed again, and I sympathize with Concubine Pan?" ”
Pei Yao was stunned, then shook her head and smiled, "I can't say sympathy, I just feel quite pathetic." ”
"What's pathetic?"
She sighed and looked at Wen Piet, "Unfortunately, there are only a few proud women like you in this world. ”
Wen was stunned.
She added: "Sadly, in this world, there are too few women like you who dare to hold their lives in their own hands, and are not influenced by the political situation and men. ”
A trace of loneliness flashed in Wen Lian's eyes, and after a while, he laughed: "There is only one Concubine Pan, how can you think of this?" ”
Pei Yaowei shook his head, didn't say anything more, and silently read 'Wuyao Eighteen Years' twice in his heart.
In the evening, when Xiao Di came back, he saw her sitting in front of the bookcase in a daze, and he stood there for a long time, but he didn't see her react. He narrowed, curled up his index finger, and tapped twice on the desk.
Pei Yaowei was frightened by the sudden sound, and as soon as her left hand was loosened, the pen that had been hanging in the air for a long time fell to the ground, staining the plain white paper.
When she looked up and saw that it was him, she caressed her heart, gave him a disgusted look, put her pen down, and threw the stained paper away.
"What do you think, so distracted?"
Pei Yao's mind turned, and she only said, Princess Tongqi went to visit King Ning during the day, but she didn't expect to bump into a scene of husband and wife.
"You said, this Pan woman, all of them are beauties, why did Uncle Ning Wang get such a beautiful wife, but he was willing to make the beauty cry?"
There was sarcasm in her words, Xiao Di glanced at her lightly, and only said, "You are not allowed to talk about elders behind your back." ”
Pei Yao raised her eyebrows and snorted absently.
She moved the scroll to one side, pointed her eyebrows with the pen, and Xiao Di's gaze fell on her waving right hand, and she didn't feel a trace of interest.
"It's funny that you're left-handed when you write, but you're right-handed when you paint?"
Pei Yao responded perfunctorily, without elaborating, in a blink of an eye, the painting was completed, she got up and walked over, Xiao Di did the case, and the moment she put this portrait in her eyes, her expression was wrong.
She took in his reaction, but her mouth was calm, telling him the causes and consequences of her robbery one by one, and finally said: "I listened to Xi Chudui talking to the eldest grandson and helped them rob my woman...... Seems to be surnamed Pan? But I don't know, will it be related to the majestic Wangchen Pan? ”
When her voice landed, she heard Xiao Di say in a deep voice: "No." ”
Pei Yao frowned.
He stood up and slapped his palm heavily on the painting, "It can't be her." ”
Pei Yao snorted, "What you said, could it be that His Highness knows better than me?" ”
Xiao Di looked at her fixedly.
"What do you mean by painting her?"
"Intentions?" She smiled and said briskly, "Didn't you ask knowingly!" As I said at the beginning, I will draw you a portrait of the person who assassinated me, and you can look for someone according to the portrait, and when you find it, you can give me anger! ”
As she spoke, she deliberately approached him, with a cunning coldness in her eyes, "What's the matter, isn't it that His Highness is confused by the beauty in this painting, wants to regret it, and is unwilling to help me get angry?" ”
Looking at her attitude, Xiao Di knew that this portrait was deliberately painted by her to test herself.
It's just that what he doesn't understand is that how can he know Pan Tian's appearance?
It stands to reason that until Pan Tian's death, Xiang Yu was still kept outside, and he had not yet entered the gate of the Jiyang County Mansion.
His gaze deepened, there were too many mysteries on this girl.
Looking at the portrait again, he calmed down and asked, "Is it really her that you saw?" ”
Pei Yao smiled innocently and nodded emphatically.
Heh, you want to play, right?
His Royal Highness the King of Chu smiled calmly, and the deep depression of Shicai seemed to disappear in an instant.
"Then what you see, what you forget." He sat down again, and said lightly: "Don't mention it again, don't think about it again, don't remember it again." ”
Pei Yao couldn't laugh anymore.
Xiao Di said so, but she never let go of her robbery. Wei Chaoyang led people to track down a Taoist temple before, but there were already people who went to the empty building, and asked about the nearby people, but they only inquired that there was a rich and noble family's daughter who had spent the Tao and practiced in the temple, as for which family's daughter, no one knew.
In this painting of hers, the woman's face is similar to Pan Tian, and she is dressed in a Taoist robe.
"What does Your Highness mean...... Check out the girls of the Pan family? ”
The next day, Wei Chaoyang was called to him by Xiao Di, and after listening to his words, he asked tentatively.
Xiao Di groaned: "It's not just the Pan family today. ”
Wei Chaoyang's mind moved, and he immediately understood what he meant: "Are you suspicious...... Pan Jie's lineage, there are still remnants? ”
Xiao Di didn't say yes or no, but the meaning was already very clear.
"Oh, that's right," Wei Chaoyang remembered something, and said, "When my subordinates just came over, I heard that Pan Xian sent his son Pan Cheng to visit His Royal Highness King Ning, and he was about to arrive. ”
Xiao Di's eyebrows moved, "Pan Cheng is here?" ”
Wei Chaoyang nodded, "Since Pan Guifei became pregnant, Pan Xian has become more and more unable to sit still recently, and even the army with the southeast line is a little ready to move, you see, should we do something to prevent accidents?" ”
"There's no hurry for anything else," after a while, Xiao Di said, "Concubine Pan Guifei's pregnancy is a few months now?" ”
This is what General Wei Chaoyang asked stunned, and said in his heart, I'm a big man, who is idle and has nothing to remember this?
Seeing his face, Xiao Di also reacted, and smiled unconsciously: "I asked the wrong person, but it's a pity that Instant Yu is not around......" After a pause, he said: "In this way, you send someone to deliver a letter to Instant Rain, let her hold the time, and look at it almost, so let Shuqing hand over the fold prepared in the morning, and add a fire to Pan's family." ”
"Yes, my subordinates understand."
Pan Quan, the son of the prince of Guan County, is the only son of Pan Xian and Mrs. Wen, and he was in the military in the early years.
As soon as Pei Yaowei heard him coming, she simply didn't bother to cover it up, and casually threw the teacup in her hand out, startling Qingchen on the side.
"...... What's wrong with you? ”
What's wrong? Pei Yao said in her heart, enemies live under the same roof, they don't have to see each other, and they are also very red-eyed.
"Nothing." She smiled faintly and said casually: "I don't like the Pan family, thinking that the prince of Guanjun is like this, he has to socialize again, which is annoying." ”
Qingchen listened and nodded similarly, "The slave doesn't like the Pan family either." I heard that this Pan Shizi's reputation is very bad, and people outside say that he is ruthless, and he looks like a vice smile, and he does things that make people laugh! Hate to death! ”
Pei Yaowei gave her a smile, "Tsk...... You said you were so young, where did you get so much 'heard'? Could it be that before you entered the Prime Minister's Mansion in the past, you were a performer? ”
Qingchen smiled and said: "It's boring to be in the courtyard of the deep house for a long time, if you don't turn around and ask about something interesting, how hard you have to live!" ”
After she finished speaking, she felt like she was speechless, "The slave has lost her words, don't be angry." ”
Yao Wei smiled: "You are telling the truth, Niangniang is not angry." ”
"That's right, mother!" After a while, Qingchen said again, "The slave maid also heard that this Pan Shizi is not here alone!" There's a girl with me! ”
"Girl?" She didn't take it seriously, and asked casually, "The maid or the concubine?" ”
"Hmm...... It seems to be the same as him, with the surname Pan. ”
Pei Yaowei raised her head.
Qingchen said again: "It seems to be his sister?" ”
Pan Cheng did not have a biological sister, but his mother, Mrs. Wen, selected several children from the Pan clan and raised them with him, just like Pan Ruohui, the noble concubine who is now taking the sixth palace, is the adopted daughter of Pan Xian and Mrs. Wen, soon after Xiao Zhu ascended the throne, Mrs. Wen sent her to the palace in order to stabilize the status of the Pan family.
Pei Yaowei has always felt that Pan Xian can have today, and his wife can be described as a hard worker. As for Pan Xian, even though Pei Yao hated him so much, he had to say that as a husband, he was blameless.
Not to mention anything else, just by virtue of the status of the prince of Guan County today, there is only one lady in the back house, which is enough to be the envy of many women.
"It's his sister, indeed." At lunchtime, Wen Lian came over to dine with Yao, and when she talked about it, she knew that there was more than Qingchen.
"I said it would be there almost tomorrow." Wen Lian sighed, full of disdain, "It's really unlucky, when I think of Pan Quan's face, I feel so disgusted that I want to vomit, Pan Xian is really bold, knowing that I am here, I dare to let his son come over, do I want to cut off my son and grandchildren?" ”
Pei Yao was funny, but it was also very strange in her heart, Pan Xian asked Pan to come over at this time, and what was her mind covered under the guise of visiting the patient?
