King Heng pointed the finger at Shen Wei.
To suppress Shen Wei is to suppress King Yan.
As soon as Prince Heng finished speaking, everyone looked at Shen Wei with curiosity, some sighing, and some sympathy.
Shen Wei paused when she drank. When you are at home, disaster may come from the sky.
Her character is that of a farmer's daughter of humble origin, so naturally she doesn't know how to sing or dance, nor does she know how to write.
If she really shines at the Spring Banquet today, it will definitely bring disaster - Prince Heng will hate her, Prince Yan will doubt her identity as a peasant girl, and the princess who is as quiet as a chrysanthemum will also be afraid of her.
But if she refused to perform the song and dance, Prince Heng would definitely use this opportunity to mock Shen Wei for her humble origins and Prince Yan for his poor selection of women.
It seems to be a dead end anyway.
Chen Wei, the queen of the rolls, has worked in the workplace for many years and knows the principles of life very well - [be in the limelight when it is time to be in the limelight, and be low-key when it is time to be low-key. If you really can't avoid it, then find someone to take the blame. 】
Without much thought, Shen Wei immediately found someone to help her take the bullet.
She looked nervously at King Yan who was sitting on the main seat. She looked uneasy, with tears of anxiety in her beautiful eyes. She looked like a little girl who was being bullied.
Weak, pitiful, and helpless.
Prince Heng made things difficult for Shen Wei, and to round it off, he also made things difficult for Prince Yan. As a husband, Prince Yan would never watch his woman being humiliated.
As expected, the handsome eyes of King Yan on the main throne were half-closed, and his tone was cold: "My concubine is not a singer or dancer from outside. Third brother, you cannot cross the line."
Protecting Shen Wei is also protecting King Yan's own face.
Prince Heng tutted his words and took a sip of cold wine: "Stingy."
The resentment in Prince Heng's heart naturally shifted to Prince Yan, and Shen Wei disappeared beautifully.
"Chen Wei, your second brother really dotes on you and protects you in public." Zhaoyang was a little envious.
If Yan Yunting could be nicer to her, Zhaoyang wouldn't have to love so hard.
Sometimes Zhaoyang really couldn't understand why she was born into a noble family, had a beautiful appearance, and was childhood sweethearts with Yan Yunting. They should have been a perfect match made in heaven.
But why would Yan Yunting fall for the plain-looking Tan Tairou?
Zhaoyang was depressed and drank several glasses of wine.
Yan Yunting, who was not far away, saw her drinking continuously and his handsome brows furrowed. He seemed to want to persuade her, but in the end he didn't say a word.
After three rounds of drinks, the singing and dancing troupe that had retired earlier came on stage again. The singer holding the pipa changed into a light pink silk dress, and the dancers also changed into the same long dress with wide sleeves.
In spring, flowers bloom and singing and dancing begin again.
Shen Wei enjoyed the singing and dancing while secretly eating the food. The pastries at the Spring Banquet were unique in shape, and Shen Wei ate several pieces in a row.
While eating, Shen Wei's eyes suddenly paused. She saw the masked singer playing the pipa, and there seemed to be silver light in her wide pink sleeves.
It looked like a dagger.
Shen Wei was shocked that Chun Riyan was carrying a dagger. Could this be the rumored assassin? Before Shen Wei could react, the pipa girl suddenly threw the pipa in her hand.
A flash of cold light!
The other dozen or so dancing girls and the musicians playing instruments in the corner also drew their swords.
"There's an assassin!"
"There is an assassin, protect the prince!"
Someone screamed, and the next moment he was stabbed in the throat with a sword, and blood splattered everywhere. The Pipa girl clenched the dagger, stepped on the wooden boards of the stage, and attacked the prince who was sitting in the main seat. The other assassins attacked Prince Yan and Prince Heng.
The scene was in chaos, with some people shouting for protection, and others running away in panic. This was the first time in Shen Wei's life that she encountered an assassination. A bloody corpse fell right in front of her. Shen Wei thought it was too exciting...
It's more exciting than the horror games she plays.
But Shen Wei was not worried, because she knew that King Yan had raised a group of fierce tiger guards who were brave and good at fighting. Soon, the Tiger Guards who came upon hearing the news drew their swords and fought with the assassins.
Princess Zhaoyang was so frightened that she ran around in panic.
She was so scared that she quickly dodged, but her eyes were still looking at Yan Yunting not far away with worry. Yan Yunting knew some Kung Fu. He calmly used a wooden stick as a weapon and subconsciously ran towards Zhaoyang.
Just as Yan Yunting was about to grab Zhaoyang's sleeve, Tan Tairou beside him suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, apparently fainted from fright.
Yan Yunting didn't care about Zhaoyang, he quickly bent down, picked up the unconscious Tan Tairou and left.
Zhaoyang stood there blankly. The flashing of swords and the shadows of sabers were right beside her, but Zhaoyang was not moved at all. The only thing in her sight was Yan Yunting's departing dark figure.
It hurts like a needle stabbing my heart.
“Princess!” Shen Wei originally wanted to run away, but when she saw the dazed princess, she quickly stepped forward and grabbed her.
Bang, the assassin's knife just fell and cut off a strand of Zhaoyang's hair. If Shen Wei hadn't pulled her back, Zhao Yang would have probably been killed.
"You protect the princess and leave!" Shen Wei loudly instructed the palace maids around Zhaoyang. The palace maids were terrified and helped the distracted Zhaoyang away.
Cai Lian’s face was pale, and she also grabbed Shen Wei’s arm: “Master, let’s hide too!”
Shen Wei didn't move at all.
She "deeply loved" Prince Yan, and when Prince Yan was stabbed, how could she, as his favorite concubine, just run away in fear? Shen Wei quickly scanned the chaotic scene. The Tiger Guards were fighting with the assassins and were gradually gaining the upper hand.
On the main throne, Prince Yan protected the prince with a knife, his eyes fierce.
The princess had fainted from fright; Zhang Miaoyu was hiding under the table, trembling while holding the braised pork elbow, and she even took a bite of the elbow; Liu Qiaoer ran far away and curled up behind a big tree.
Only Liu Ruyan sat calmly in her seat, unperturbed. The maid Xuemei behind her had fainted from fright, but Liu Ruyan still looked cold and calm.
Shen Wei told Cai Lian: "You hide first, I'm going to protect the prince."
Cai Lian was stunned, watching Shen Wei running towards the main seat.
