Chapter 17 The plan to divert the tiger from the mountain

Qingchen asked her, at the banquet last night, His Royal Highness King Ning, as the host, refused to attend, so he didn't give Princess Pan face, isn't Niangniang curious about the relationship between the husband and wife?

Pei Yao put a white jade hairpin on her hairpin, and said with a casual smile: "King Ning and his wife are not harmonious, this is a matter in front of them, where do you need to be curious?" She turned around and looked up at the light dust, "You, don't you know that His Royal Highness the King of Chu has the strictest family education, and people in the palace are not allowed to talk about others behind their backs?" ”

Qingchen smiled: "Didn't the slave maid say it in front of His Highness!" ”

Yao Wei shook her head and smiled, and then listened to Qingchen continue: "Niangniang, this King Ning and the princess are not in harmony, naturally everyone can see it, but there is one thing you may not know——"

"The slave maid heard that His Royal Highness King Ning and the princess were also respectful in the first two years of their marriage, and later, it seems that the prince of Ning was seriously injured, and it is said that after that, the prince suddenly cooled down when he treated the princess. In the past ten years, the noisy noise in King Ning's mansion like last night has long become a common thing, and the family is frightened, but they are all used to it, and they all say that Princess Pan has become more and more crazy recently, and there may be some chaos in the future! ”

Pei Yaowei thought that what Qingchen inquired about was what she knew-after the Pei family broke up with the Pan family, King Ning became angry with Concubine Pan, so that the couple had been at odds for many years. But when she heard it like this, she was vague in her heart.

After King Ning was seriously injured......

Xiao Di is Wu Yao's early twentieth year regret marriage, Pei and Pan immediately broke up, but Xiao Xiao, the son of King Ning, was seriously injured, but in the middle of the year, this interval of half a year, if what Qingchen said is true, the estrangement between King Ning and Concubine Pan is not for the enmity between Pei and Pan.

Could it be because of Xiao Yu?

"But Xiao Yu was seriously injured back then, wasn't it because on the way back to Beijing, he accidentally encountered a mob rebellion?"

Later, she talked to Wen Lian about it, and Wen Lian hesitated a lot after listening to it.

"Back then, Ning Wangfu did say so to the outside world." Pei Yao said, "But now that I think about it, there are also doubts in this." ”

Not to mention anything else, the one who suffered with Xiao Yu at the beginning was also a former official of King Ning, a famous general in the army, Gongsun Xun. The two returned to Beijing from the military camp, encountered a riot on the way, and the final result, the prince Xiao was seriously injured and dying, and was taken into the palace by the first emperor, and carefully treated for a long time before he was saved, and General Gongsun died directly in that disaster.

"The people's riot happened suddenly, but with the profound experience of General Gongsun, he died in it...... It's a little hard to believe. ”

I was afraid to think about everything, and the doubts that I had heard in my ears in the past and never noticed were really thought about at this time, and they broke through the ground one after another.

After a pause, Pei Yao frowned and continued: "Besides, let's say that Uncle Ning's gentle temperament is not like a person who can distinguish between black and white and blindly anger. If Concubine Pan herself is not at fault, how can she be treated by Uncle Wang so shamelessly? Now that I think about it, don't you think there is still an inside story? ”

Listening to her words, Wen Lian pondered for a moment and said, "You suspect that the discord between King Ning and his wife is related to Xiao Yu's injury back then, but Concubine Pan herself has never had a child, so naturally it is impossible for her to seize the position of the prince...... Then why did she want to murder Xiao Yu? ”

Pei Yaowei shook her head, "There are doubts about this matter, and there are still many inconsistencies, but behind it, most of them are not simple." ”

After a while, Wen Lian remembered something, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Xiao Yu has been living in a warm place in the south in the name of recuperating from injuries all these years, and now it seems that if he doesn't go home, will there be a reason why he doesn't want to see Concubine Pan?" ”

"If you want to say that, Uncle Ning treats Concubine Pan with affection and righteousness." Pei Yao quipped, "Otherwise, how can there be any reason to force your son out of the house and keep your stepwife?" ”

Jokes are jokes, but the matter of Ning Wangfu exists in her heart, and it can be regarded as taking root.

When she returned to the Chinese Pavilion in the afternoon, she had just arrived on the front foot, and Xiao Di came back on the back foot.

"Is Your Highness okay today?"

"What can I do in Lingcheng?" Xiao Di said, and glanced at her again, "I can't say, but I'm more leisurely than you." ”

Pei Yao drank half of the tea, paused slightly, put down the teacup, and said with a light smile: "You said it yourself, I am close to Princess Qi, you are happy to see it!" ”

He retracted his gaze, spread out the pen and ink scroll, and snorted, "I'm happy to see it." However, I didn't expect that with Wen Lian's dustless temperament, the two of you, after the initial enthusiasm, could really get along. ”

He was not without doubts in his heart. If at the beginning, Wen Lian was willing to get along with her because she was like Pei Yao, but now?

In this world, there are only a handful of people who can get Wen Lian's words, both alive and dead, all counted, except for Pei Yaoyan, he has never heard that Wen Lian has such a close friend Jin Lan who makes her valued.

A temporary deed can be seen by the eye, but the long-term harmony depends on the temperament and interest.

Or does Wen Lian also feel that in addition to her appearance, there are many places where she looks like Pei Yaowei......

Pei Yao saw him distracted for no reason, and couldn't help asking, "What do you want?" ”

Thinking back, he said casually: "I want Wen Lian to see where you are." ”

Pei Yao was stunned for a moment, and laughed out loud.

"Why doesn't that sound right......" After thinking about it for a long time, she turned back and asked him, "Your Highness, instead of thinking about why Princess Qi is so blue-eyed to me, why don't you ask yourself?" ”

Xiao Di frowned puzzled: "What do you ask?" ”

"Excuse me, when you married me, did you expect that there would be such a day between you and me - you can allow me to participate in politics, I dare to joke with you, and call you 'you and me'?"

Xiao Di was stunned.

Pei Yaowei was very satisfied with his reaction, and at this time, Qingchen came in from outside, and it was rumored that Princess Pan had sent a maid over.

"Princess Pan?"

Pei Yaowei was a little surprised. It has been in King Ning's Mansion for some time, and this is the first time that Princess Pan has sent someone to talk to her.

She followed Qingchen to the outer room, where Honeysuckle was already waiting, and when she saw her, she immediately stepped forward to salute.

"The slave maid has seen the princess of Chu."

"No need to be polite." Pei Yaowei sat down calmly and smiled, "I don't know if Pan Niangniang sent her aunt over, but what's the matter?" ”

Honeysuckle said, his master was not good a few days ago, and it was not suitable to see people, but this time he felt better, so he thought about inviting the princess to come over to taste tea and talk.

"The princess is a distinguished guest, and she should have come to invite her earlier, but our mother was worried about the prince's condition first, and she was not comfortable. Today's wind and sunshine are beautiful, and the mother got up early to prepare a table of refreshments, waiting for you to come and talk! Honeysuckle said, and said: "Princess Qi has also sent someone to invite, it is estimated that she will be there when she speaks, and she will ask Princess Chu to appreciate her face!" ”

Pei Yao's heart turned, and the smile on her face became thicker and thicker, "Pan Niangniang is polite, it was my rude being a junior, and I have never been to ask for peace, but today I am really ashamed of my aunt to go on this trip!" ”

As she spoke, Shu Sleeves got up, called Qingchen over, and ordered: "Go and prepare the meeting gift we brought, and bring it to Pan Niangniang later." ”

Qingchen responded, and she said to Honeysuckle: "Aunt Lao took the first step, let me go and change my clothes, and immediately go to ask Pan Niangniang for peace." ”

Honeysuckle was overjoyed and took the order.

"Mother, do you really want to go?" Qingchen was a little unhappy, "Then Princess Pan doesn't look like a good person, and her niece, I don't know how she is thinking about stuffing it next to His Highness!" This time the son will set up a banquet to invite, will it be a Hongmen banquet? ”

Pei Yaowei glanced at her meaningfully, didn't rush to explain anything, and still asked her to go to the wing room to ask for a meeting gift.

"I know you don't like Concubine Pan, but the gift you give out is your own face, don't be shabby."

Qingchen also understood, reluctantly answered, and went to the wing.

Honeysuckle, all the way back to Princess Pan's dormitory with a smile.

"Mother, it's done!"

Pan Yan took a sip of tea and asked unhurriedly, "Princess Chu agreed to come over?" ”

Honeysuckle nodded again and again, "When the slave maid left to go to the Hua Pavilion, Princess Chu was about to change her clothes, and she will come over later!" ”

"Well," Pan Yan nodded, and said casually, "Since that's the case, then go and inform that girl." ”

Honeysuckle got the word, and was just about to go to run errands, when he remembered something, but his steps were stunned.

"Mother, you...... Really thought about it? ”

Pan Yan raised his eyes lightly, "What do you think?" ”

"It is said that the princess of Chu looks like Queen Renyi, and the prince loves her like the daughter of Queen Renyi, and she will love the house and Wu if she can't keep it, you help the girl get close to His Royal Highness the King of Chu this time, if the prince knows......"

The consequences, I'm afraid, won't be too good.

Pan Yan smiled sarcastically.

"So he knows? Oh, it's good that he knows. She said coldly, "I'm really curious, if he knows, will he ask me for the sake of Princess Chu, an outsider?" ”

Honeysuckle looked at her expression, and some words turned on the tip of her tongue for a long time, but she still swallowed, "Yes, the slave will send someone to report to the girl." ”

Dian Pei was in front of the door, and after listening to the words sent by Princess Pan, he entered the internal report with a smile and Pan Xi.

"Girl, the princess Niangniang called away the princess of Chu, and at this time, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is going to the Huaguan alone, so don't miss the opportunity!"

Pan Xi looked at himself in the mirror, his eyes sank little by little, and after a while, he said 'um' steadily.

Dian Pei knew that she meant to go over, and immediately went to prepare for her, but as soon as she turned around, she was stopped by Pan Yi.

"The snacks you prepared, such as lotus cakes and golden soufflés, are not allowed to be brought."

Dian Pei was stunned, came back to his senses, and was a little embarrassed: "But girl, these things are all the favorite and best things that Miss Tian used to be!" The prince specially instructed ......"

"Whether she likes it or not, whether she likes it or not, what does it have to do with me?" Pan Xiang interrupted her words coldly, Dian Pei couldn't help but shrink her neck, and saw her caressing her face in the mirror, and said slowly: "Even if you have to do it, you have to use this face as a stepping stone, and the rest ......."

"Don't expect anyone, I will be the second Pan Tian!"

I had to respond, and I went down carefully to arrange.

Pei Yaowei said to Xiao Di that she was going out, and Xiao Di naturally thought that she was going to Princess Pan, so she didn't ask carefully, so she said goodbye to her.

Unexpectedly, not long after she went out, the maid in front of the door came to spread the word that the girl of the Pan family had arrived.

As soon as he heard this, Xiao Didang understood the ins and outs.

"Miss Pan said that she brought some snacks and wanted to say hello to the princess!"

Hearing this, Xiao Di smiled, and wanted to ask the maid to go out and tell her, but she said that the princess was not there, and it was not appropriate for her to meet the girl of the Pan family, for fear of hurting the girl's name. But before he could say anything, he raised his eyes and changed his mind again.

His eyes turned slowly, and a playful smile blurred at the corner of his lips, and Xiao Di said, "Go and invite the girl of the Pan family to come in and talk." ”
