Chapter 218: Invitations

As if he was afraid that he wouldn't understand, the prince even said with a gesture: "Look, for example, if you now know that you will die in your father and queen in three years, then in these three years, you will definitely be more careful than before, so maybe if you are careful, there will be no death in three years?" What is this called, this is called ......"

He propped his head and pondered.

Pei Qingyan said: "Butterfly effect. ”

"Oh yes, it's the butterfly effect."

I don't know where this butterfly effect came from, in short, it has been passed on for a long time, and this allusion is not recorded in the ancient books of the ancestors, but it is spread widely, and gradually the people in the palace will know it.

The prince said: "Look, under the effect of this butterfly effect, maybe your death will be gone by then, you don't have to worry too much, and you don't have to worry about that girl, young man, you have to have fun in time, and the future things will be handed over to the future, and then it will be bad...... No matter how bad you are and me, if something really happens, even if I don't want to fight for the position of prince, I will save your life. ”

Pei Qingyan tugged at the corners of his mouth, replaced wine with tea, and clinked glasses with him.

"Thank you in advance, your great kindness."

The prince is speechless.

But Pei Qingyan didn't stay here long.

After taking the last sip of tea in his cup, he got up and said, "It's not too early, I should go." ”

The crown prince got up and stayed, "Don't stay a little longer?" Anyway, if you go back now, your girl may not necessarily take care of you, it is better to stay with me for a while and chat with me, now looking inside and outside the court, you are the only one who can chat with me and dare to chat with me. ”

Pei Qingyan smiled and said, "Let's chat with your crown princess, there is still something in our company, so let's go first." ”

After speaking, he ignored the prince's retention and left in style.

The prince couldn't hold back, snorted softly at his back, and said, "If you are looking for the crown princess, you will find the crown princess, who will not dare to go." ”

After speaking, he walked to the princess's bedroom.

And this side.

As soon as Song Anning came back from outside, he suddenly received an excerpt.

The fold is printed with flowers, and it also exudes a faint fragrance of Zhilan flowers, which is given by the woman at first glance.

She was a little surprised.

She doesn't know any noble women in Beijing, and the workmanship of this fold is either rich or expensive, what must be the daughter of a noble family who sent it, who will send her an invitation?

Curious, Song Anning took it apart and looked at it.

found out that it was the county lord of Danyang in the uncle's mansion.

She was a little surprised.

"I don't have anything to do with this Danyang County Lord, are you sure it wasn't sent by mistake?"

The old woman who was guarding the door in the house smiled: "It won't be wrong, there is a girl wearing gold and silver at noon today, who came to send it in person, saying that her county hosted a flower-viewing banquet, and specially invited Miss Song to participate, I thought that you and the county lord had known each other for a long time, so I took it for you, and now I see, you don't know her?" ”

Song Anning shook his head.

She has never been to the capital before, and now she doesn't know much when she first enters Beijing, and she is a little more familiar with her, only Yu Shibo, who has had more business contacts in recent days, where will she know any county lord?

The old woman wondered.

"Then this is strange, I see that Yahuan also said Miss Song by name, it should be right."

Holly leaned over, looked at the name written on the invitation, and said, "It's really not wrong, this invitation also has our young lady's name written on it." ”

Holly was a little worried.

"We are young and don't know any county lords, but we just received an invitation, if it is sent wrong, it is okay, I am afraid that since it is sent correctly, the other party is not good."

Song Anning also had the same idea.

After all, if the other party really has good intentions, it should not be a direct invitation, but a visit in advance.

After all, if she really has something to do in the capital, and she doesn't know it, but the other party knows that she is coming, it should be the other party who came first, showed her identity, relieved her worries, and then left an invitation, and she won't worry about restraint when she goes to the flower party.

And the other party didn't come to the door, but just sent a little girl to come over......

Song Anning thought for a while and said, "Holly, you go and help me prepare a reply letter, just say that I have been unwell recently and am not suitable to participate in the flower party, so I won't disturb the interest of the noble lady and the lady of the county, and I hope that the county lord Haihan." ”

"Yes."

Holly quickly went.

After this letter was written, it was naturally sent directly to the uncle's mansion.

Uncle Guo's Mansion.

When the county lord of Danyang received the letter, he sneered rather disdainfully.

"I thought that Pei Qingyan would be a woman of what kind of woman, but unexpectedly, she was also a timid person, and she didn't even dare to come to the flower party, and she wanted to marry Pei Qingyan, heh, it's ridiculous!"

As she spoke, she waved the whip in her hand and whipped it on a kneeling man in front of her.

I saw that the person was a servant girl who was about thirteen or fourteen years old, although it was warm and cold weather, the servant girl was only wearing a single coat, and she trembled when she knelt on the ground, but when the whip came down, she didn't even dare to say a word, so she could only bear it stiffly.

Everyone in Uncle Guo's mansion knows that the temper of the county lord of Danyang is not good, it should be said that she has left her kindest, most beautiful and sincere side to people who are equal to her status or need her to please, and as for these subordinates.

Oh, it's just pigs, dogs, cows and horses, even if they are killed, it's not a pity, so what's there to be afraid of?

Therefore, the county lord of Danyang has a rule.

But whoever makes a mistake must receive her whip, and he is not allowed to make a sound when he is punished, and if he does so, he who has only been given ten lashes must be given twenty lashes, and if the other person faints or cannot stand it before ten lashes, he is given forty lashes until he is killed.

It is precisely because of this that all the subordinates who have been tortured, even if they are in pain, will grit their teeth and endure it.

Because they know that as long as they endure these ten lashes, they will not have to suffer any more, and if they do not endure it, then the punishment will be endless, and it is not something that can be solved by enduring.

The county lord of Danyang waved whip after whip.

The little maid who was beaten gritted her teeth from beginning to end and did not say a word.

Even when she gritted her teeth, blood came out, and blood was already dripping on her thin back, and she didn't fall down.

After the ten whips, Danyang was a little tasteless.

She threw away the whip, and without looking at the servant girl, as if it were a worthless garbage, she took the handkerchief handed by the other servant girl next to her, wiped her hands, and walked to the pavilion not far away.

"Are you sure that Brother Yan refused to marry in front of His Majesty?"

The housekeeper who followed him lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes: "Yes, it is said that our master has fought for it, but it's a pity that Master Pei has made up his mind, and even the saint has no way to take him, so our uncle naturally has no choice but to give up." ”

The county lord of Danyang sneered.

"Pei Qingyan is Qinggao, don't let go of the big backer of our uncle's mansion, if you have to fight alone, you are not afraid that his little life will fight one day sooner or later."
