The main reason why she and Pei Fumo missed it in her previous life was because this confession banquet was repeated, and she must avoid Pei You's calculations this time.

On the day of the confession banquet, because Pei Fumo had not yet returned to Beijing, Jiang Jiajin couldn't even raise any interest in going to Zhenbei Hou's Mansion, seeing Jiang Suqing dressed up and delicate, he couldn't help but say sourly: "Who is it for?" The prince is not here today, isn't it for Prince Pei? ”

"Come to think of it, when Prince Pei was in Jiangfu, the second sister was close to him." At the mention of this, her voice changed and she was surprised: "Second sister, did you say that the prince saw that you had a great relationship with his brother, so he rejected your request to marry?" ”

Which man can stand a woman wandering between several men, let alone a brother.

Jiang Suqing and Jiang Jiajin have never had a grudge, Jiang Jiajin has nothing more than Pei Fumo has only been close to her since she was a child, but fortunately, because she has experienced a lifetime, she has seen a ruthless person like Pei You, Jiang Jiajin's jealous ridicule is much more normal in her opinion.

At least she didn't take the initiative to harm others.

Jiang Suqing smiled lightly: "The third sister is too worried, at the beginning, I was close to Pei Dagongzi just because I pitied his experience, and after I rescued him and returned home, I felt that I had my own responsibility to take more care of him, that's all, I don't have the slightest affection for Pei Dagongzi." As for the fact that I have a good relationship with Pei Shizi, I saved his brother, and it was too late for him to thank me, why should I feel guilty? ”

Today's confession banquet in the Hou Mansion means that in the future, Pei You will meet the world as the son of the mayor of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, no matter what unspeakable experience he has in the past, it will be completely wiped out, and no one will want to offend the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei.

Even if Jiang Jiajin didn't look down on Pei You in the past, after today, he didn't want to be honored as Pei Dagongzi.

If she doesn't make her relationship with Pei You clear now, lest he spread Jiang Jiajin and cause a lot of trouble.

Jiang Jiajin was so speechless that he was so angry that his belt was about to break.

Outside Yanxi Hall, Pei You was wearing a bamboo-blue robe and stood for a long time.

Seeing that he was not moving, the people of the Jiang Mansion behind him asked, "Pei Gongzi didn't have something to find the second girl, why don't you go in?" ”

Pei You let go of the hand that was clenched into a fist, and he really couldn't laugh on his face, "I suddenly remembered that there was something else, so I went back to the Hou Mansion first." ”

Chapter 20: The Banquet

Because they were worried that Pei You would be wronged, the Zhenbei Hou Mansion held a banquet, and the Zhenbei Hou couple almost invited the powerful people with heads and faces in Chang'an.

The Yun family has been smiling from ear to ear since waking up early in the morning, and as soon as the family recognition banquet is over, the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei will be a real family reunion, and from this morning onwards, the family elders of the Pei family have also come to the Hou Mansion to handle the matters of Pei You's entry into the family tree.

The Jiang family was the first to arrive, and Mrs. Jiang exchanged a few words with the Yun family, and then chatted with several Pei family relatives on the side, and Jiang Jiajin also honestly followed his mother Ning and communicated with other ladies.

In such an occasion, there are many people, and it is natural to deal with them privately. The Ning family was always worried about Jiang Jiajin's family affairs, but whenever there was an extraordinary family that he looked down on, he pulled her forward to greet his wife.

Jiang Suqing has been by Tang's side, silently listening to the chat between the Yun family and the Tang family, and when more guests arrive, the Yun family has to receive others, so the Tang family has the opportunity to talk to Jiang Suqing, "Mu Mu, help me find where Yan'er went." ”

The child spread his legs after a while when he arrived at the Hou Mansion, there were many people in the Hou Mansion today, and there would be any accidents at that time.

Jiang Suqing said: "Ah Niang, Yan'er didn't come to the Hou Mansion once or twice, can he still get lost?" She said that she would never run around this time, and only by staying by her mother's side honestly could she avoid all accidents.

Tang frowned, "I can't even do things now?" Go find your brother. ”

Jiang Suqing still didn't move, "Then I'll let Anxia go to find it, I won't go anyway." ”

Tang couldn't help but wonder, what happened to this child today, she used to come to the Hou Mansion as if she was her own family, and she didn't move around today.

Jiang Suqing called An Xia over and told her to go and find Jiang Yan back.

There were more and more guests visiting, and the Yun family couldn't greet them, and the Tang family helped to chat with a few noble ladies she couldn't greet, and Jiang Suqing was always by Tang's side.

At the auspicious time, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the second prince, the third prince and Princess Anhua in the palace came to congratulate in person, and the Marquis of Zhenbei and his eldest son went to greet him.

After the greetings, the banquet officially began.

The Marquis of Zhenbei asked the crown prince Li Qianzun to sit on the head, but Li Qian refused: "Uncle, today you will treat Lone as just a junior under your knees, and Lone is only here to congratulate your uncle and aunt on finally finding their eldest son, reuniting as a family, and sharing a happy family." ”

Li Qian's words have come to this point, there is no need for Pei Xuan to insist anymore, but he can't wronged His Royal Highness the Prince, and he will arrange the most honorable seat for anything, and the second prince Li Heng and the third prince Li Yu sit at the same table, sitting opposite Li Qian.

The first queen Pei Shixu died in the thirteenth year of Xingwu, when the prince was only five years old.

The marriage between the first queen and Emperor Jin An was determined by the first emperor, and it is rumored that Emperor Jin An still had a sweetheart at that time, but he had to marry Pei Wanyin, the daughter of the former Zhenbei Marquis.

When Empress Pei was still alive, she and Emperor Jin An respected each other like guests, but in fact they were not favored by the emperor, Emperor Jin An also cared less for his eldest son Li Qian, and the mother and son were neglected in the harem.

Two years after Empress Pei's death, the biological mother of the second prince was successfully canonized as the queen.

The biological mother of the second prince Li Heng, Xiao Ji, is the daughter of Xiao Zemin, the daughter of Zuo Cheng, with such a prominent maternal family, the foundation behind the second prince is no worse than that of the crown prince Li Qian.

Fortunately, even if the crown prince is no longer successful, it is backed by the power of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and the crown prince's position is now difficult to shake.

Zhenbei Hou and his wife brought their eldest son to meet everyone, and told about the hardships of finding a child for many years.

Jiang Suqing sat on the side of the Tang family, shrinking himself as much as possible, looking at the Zhenbei Hou couple at the top of the head, and sighed infinitely in his heart, if they knew that their eldest son who had been thinking about them for many years, would they trap the Pei family to death in order to cling to the third prince a year later?

If she hadn't lived one more life, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to see that a person like Pei You, who is as gentle as jade, can do that vicious thing.

Xu is hateful eyes were too revealing, Pei You, who was standing beside the Zhenbei Hou couple, moved his gaze over, and suddenly met her resentful eyes, Pei You frowned slightly, and then returned a faint smile.

Jiang Suqing scolded secretly, turned his head and went to feed Jiang Yan beside him.

After Jiang Suqing turned his head, Pei You smiled, swept his gaze again, and confronted Li Yu, the third prince diagonally opposite, Li Yu raised his glass to drink, and the two briefly met their eyes, and no one noticed.

**

Halfway through the feast, Pei You walked across the bluestone path to the quiet garden.

In the corner where no one could see, a man dressed in the costume of the prince's chamberlain waited for a long time, he pretended to enjoy the garden view, waited for Pei You to approach, and asked in a low voice: "Are you sure there is no one?" ”

Pei You affirmed: "Don't worry." "Zhenbei Hou Mansion is his home, and no one will spy on him.

The guard took out a black jar from the placket of his robe, "Your Highness said that he helped you do what you wanted, and the next thing is to see your sincerity." ”

Pei You put the black jar into his sleeve and smiled lightly: "Please inform Your Highness, the kindness of recovering your true identity is remembered by Pei You." ”

——————

During the banquet, the second prince Li Heng drank too much, his sitting body was shaky, and he fell vigorously to the side of the third prince Li Yu, Li Yu stretched out a hand to support him, and said bitterly: "The second brother clearly can't drink, why is he still so greedy?" ”

Li Heng drank drunk and muttered, and no one could hear what he said from a distance, but the little waiter who was waiting behind him heard a few words, his face changed at that time, and he suddenly met the warning gaze of the third prince, and the little waiter hurriedly lowered his head and pretended to be stupid.

On the spot, I heard the second prince cursing the third prince for being a cheap maid, and he also disciplined him with such words, giving him a few lives and not being able to live, fortunately, the third prince was kind and did not have the bad habit of beating and scolding the palace people like the second prince.

"You, come and help the second prince find a room to rest."

The little chamberlain was just glad for a while, and was named by the third prince, and he was too busy to respond, and called another chamberlain to help the drunk second prince leave the lively banquet.

Zhenbei Hou Mansion has a special guest room for guests to rest, in the northwest direction, but on the way, the second prince woke up and learned that he was going to the West Wing when he sprinkled it, "What a noble identity this prince is, deigning to come to the Hou Mansion to give Pei Xuan face, how can you let this prince stay in such a small place?" ”

The little chamberlain also took the second prince without a problem, and asked his accomplices to call a subordinate of the Hou Mansion to come over and prepare a good guest room for the second prince to rest.

The waiter left, and the remaining little waiter was very difficult to support the sturdy second prince.

Li Heng also thought he was thin, so he pushed him away with a palm, "Go aside, this prince will go by himself." ”

Li Heng's steps were unsteady, as if he was about to fall at any time, and the little chamberlain was frightened when he saw it, for fear of falling, so he asked.

Li Heng dragged around the pillars of the verandah all the way, muttering something from time to time, and at this moment, two women came to the corner of the verandah, and the girl in front of him looked like a fairy.

Li Hengdeng's eyes lit up, and he stumbled towards the woman.

**

Jiang Suqing really couldn't stand the banquet in Zhenbeihou and his wife ordered Pei You to sit with her, and the saying was that Pei You also relied on her to pick up a life, Pei Fumo was not there, and seeing that she was lonely, he specially asked his brother to accompany her.

Who is rare for him to accompany him?

When she sat down, she didn't even dare to touch a glass of wine, and she didn't dare to taste a mouthful of food, for fear of being drugged by him, and sleeping in his room in a daze like in her previous life.

After the ugly incident in her previous life, she was in a daze, and she didn't know how to lie with Pei You in rags, thinking that she was drunk to be intimate with him, which led to having to marry him.

But it wasn't until a year after she got married that the Jiang family had an accident and Pei Fumo was imprisoned, and she learned that it was all Pei You's calculation of her.

At that time, she questioned, but he didn't run away, and readily admitted that because of the Jiang family's downfall and Pei Fumo's imprisonment at that time, he had to be reused by the saints, so he didn't have anything to fear, and felt that she couldn't leave him.

Seeing that Jiang Suqing was in a hurry, An Xia panicked as if there were jackals, tigers and leopards chasing after him, and asked, "Girl, who are you hiding?" ”

Jiang Suqing replied to the question, and only said: "From now on, you and I will not be separated from each other, let's find a safe place to survive today's banquet first." ”

Her heart is hanging all the time now, and she doesn't dare to believe any of the descendants of the Hou Mansion except An Xia.

"Help! Come on, my girl......" There was a hissing cry for help from the front, Jiang Suqing and An Xia glanced at each other, and then greeted the maid who rushed over.

This place is secluded near the west wing, and the verandah courtyard is even more subordinate, presumably they are all busy in the front hall, and the maid rarely sees two people, regardless of the fact that she jumped on the ground, crying: "This girl, please save my girl, my girl she ......"

The maid seemed to have scruples and did not dare to tell the whole story.

Jiang Suqing felt that her costume was a little familiar, and asked, "Which maid are you?" ”

The maid said with tears in her eyes: "The slave and maid inherited the Hou Mansion, and today they came to the Hou Mansion with the old lady and the eldest girl. ”

Chengenhou Mansion, isn't the eldest girl Sheng Yan in her mouth the sister-in-law who married her brother in her previous life?

Seeing the state of this maid, presumably something happened to Sheng Yan, Jiang Suqing thought for a while, "You first go to the front hall to find Mrs. Beihou of Zhen, and tell her about it privately, and your girl will wrap it up on me first." ”

The maid didn't recognize Jiang Suqing, and she was a little worried about her as a weak girl, so she hesitated: "But ......"

As she hesitated, Sheng Yan's frightened cry in front of her had already arrived, Jiang Suqing was really worried about the safety of her future sister-in-law, and said with a serious face: "Go quickly, do you want to kill your girl?" ”

After that, Jiang Suqing led An Xia over, and the maid didn't dare to drag it anymore.

After arriving, Sheng Yan was blocked in the corner by a tall drunk, and she couldn't resist the man's strength when she screamed.

This scene reminded Jiang Suqing of her previous life, and she was also treated like this by Pei You in the cell, and her face was full of blood and hatred at that time.

Even though she recognized the drunkard as the second prince, she did not hesitate to pick up a huge stone from the jungle in the courtyard and slammed it into the back of the second prince's head.

The action was almost exhausted, and this situation made the little chamberlain and An Xia on the side frightened and couldn't move.

Li Heng screamed, covering the blood on the back of his head, and before he could turn back, he fell directly to the ground.

**

Outside the city of Chang'an, the dust is flying, the wind is hunting, a group of fierce horses are struggling to gallop into the city, the man led by him has a cold face and a solemn face, and his contemplative eyes are like an abyss, oppressing.

Pei Fumo dealt with the heavy task given to him by Emperor An of Jin in the limit of time, but in three days, all the bandits hidden in Jiazhou were arrested and brought to justice.

Last night, when the moon was in the middle of the sky, in order to close the net of the bandits as soon as possible, the prince simply strangled those bandits who tried to resist on the spot, and blood was splashed all over the courtyard that night.

Zhou Yanxian recalled that he couldn't help but guess in his heart that something must have happened to the prince, which caused his temperament to change greatly, and his methods of dealing with things were more ferocious and sophisticated than before. Although it is a little cold-blooded, it is indeed faster than the interrogation one by one.

After the matter was done, before he had time to rest, the prince hurried back to Chang'an without stopping for a moment.

Pei Fumo looked at the road ahead, his lips tightened, and the reins in his hand gradually closed.

Jiang Suqing, you'd better be honest, if you become my sister-in-law again in this life, I will definitely make him worse than dead, and you will no longer be able to escape from me.
