Chapter 149: Let others catch the adultery
That was the only women's dragon boat team.
They had red ribbons tied around their arms.
There was originally no custom of women's rowing in Dayong.
This is because the late Empress Dowager loved dragon boat racing when she was young.
The late emperor was also impressed by her heroic performance in dragon boat racing.
The two got happily married, and after the late emperor ascended the throne, he added the women's rowing event specifically for her.
Later, by chance, the men's and women's teams competed in the same river in the finals.
Meng Chifei stands at the bow and beats the drum. He is the soul figure who controls the rhythm and movements of the dragon boat.
Her figure is straight and upright, even in the dress she wears for the banquet today,
But it didn't affect her beating the drumstick at all.
The wide sleeves of her robe were blown up by the wind, making her look like a female warrior from heaven.
Wen Yan, who was originally not interested in dragon boat racing, became excited at this moment.
She cupped her hands to her mouth and shouted, "Go Red Team! Chi Fei will win."
A game,
It was over very quickly.
Meng Chifei's team won first place with an overwhelming victory.
Many women rushed forward and gave the red team members colorful ropes and five poison bags.
Wen Yan had just shouted so excitedly that her voice became hoarse and an unnatural blush appeared on her face.
Ying Zhilin immediately handed her a water bag.
Wen Yan hesitated for a moment, but still took the water bag and said thank you.
Wen Yan observed Zhang Ganniang's expression.
Although she had a smile on her face, she looked a little listless. She must have been out for too long and was tired.
Wen Yan and the others followed the crowd and returned to the inn.
Not long after they climbed up the riverbank, they saw some pushing and shoving ahead.
A woman in gorgeous clothes suddenly tilted her body and fell towards the stairs amid the crowd.
The stairs here are extremely steep. If you roll down, you will definitely get a bloody head.
Wen Yan instinctively reached out to save people.
But a man took the lead and grabbed the hand of the woman in gorgeous clothes.
With a force, he brought the woman into his arms.
This should have been a hero saving a beauty scene.
Unexpectedly, the man was hit from behind.
This time, the man and the woman fell down the stairs together.
Wen Yan was already very close to them, and she didn't have time to retract her outstretched hand.
The woman immediately grabbed his arm.
Wen Yan reacted quickly and immediately dragged them back.
However, her strength was limited and she couldn't hold the two people.
Fortunately, Ying Zhilin was quick-witted and grabbed the woman's hand and pulled it up.
Only then did they pull the two people who were falling back.
All three of them were still frightened.
Wen Yan frowned after seeing the face of the man who saved people.
How could it be Huo Yaoxing!
With his current Wuchen style, how could he possibly come to a place like this to watch a dragon boat race?
He also rescued a strange woman...
etc.
How could the woman in front of me be a stranger?
She is clearly the only daughter of Princess Ji Wuxia, Princess Jinghe Gu Saisai.
The eldest princess is the younger sister of the current emperor and is very much loved by the late emperor and the emperor.
Her only daughter, Gu Saisai, also has a noble status.
Princess Jinghe also had a tragic fate.
At the end of the year, she will marry into the Wang family in Longcheng and become the mistress of the household.
It’s a pity that her husband died early, and Gu Saisai became a widow at a young age.
The year Wen Yan died, Gu Saisai returned to Beijing to choose a husband and remarry.
suddenly.
Something flashed through her mind.
So fast that she couldn't catch it.
Gu Saisai grabbed Ying Zhilin's arm, her frightened look endearing: "Sir, thank you for saving me just now."
Ying Zhilin pulled his hand back, took a step back and hid behind Wen Yan: "Miss, you are too polite. It was my wife who saved you, so I lent a hand."
Gu Saisai's eyes swept back and forth between Wen Yan and Ying Zhilin twice.
The expression of interest changed instantly.
It turns out he is a married man. What a waste of such a handsome face.
She immediately said "thank you" and was about to leave.
When he turned around, he almost bumped into Huo Yaoxing's arms.
Huo Yaoxing took two steps back and said politely and restrainedly, "Princess, I was rude just now."
Gu Saisai's eyes suddenly lit up again: "You are..."
This man is not bad looking.
"My name is Huo Yaoxing."
"The Huo family? The Marquis of Jinping's Mansion?"
"My father is the Marquis of Jinping."
"That's enough! Another one that's already taken." Gu Saisai tilted her head, rolled her eyes, and complained softly.
She thought no one noticed her little action, but in fact Wen Yan saw it all.
She waved her hand impatiently at Huo Yaoxing: "Thank you so much for today."
After saying that, he turned around and left, with no intention of paying any attention to Huo Yaoxing.
"Princess, it's not safe with so many people on the road. Let me take you back." Before Huo Yaoxing followed, he turned around and gave Wen Yan and Ying Zhilin a meaningful look.
A good scene of a hero saving a beauty was ruined by Wen Yan!
Wen Yan couldn't help but think deeply, is Huo Yaoxing trying to curry favor with Gu Saisai?
Wen Yan and the others took quite some effort before they managed to return to the inn.
The Marquis of Jinping's Mansion at this time.
A carriage with the Thai royal palace logo stopped at the gate of the Marquis's mansion.
Then, the curtain opened.
A nanny helped Wen Ruyue out.
The nanny handed Wen Ruyue to the housekeeper of the Marquis' Mansion, raised her chin, and said loudly: "The Marquis' Mansion should not release hysterical patients casually."
After saying that, the nanny left arrogantly.
Huo Yaoxing was very angry because he failed to save the beauty.
I came home to see this scene.
The mask of gentleness on his face almost broke.
He glanced at Wen Ruyue with a cold gaze: "Did you mess this up?"
"Don't blame me, it's all the fault of that bitch Wen Yan. She was so cunning, I fell for their trick and was knocked unconscious..."
Huo Yaoxing frowned.
He suddenly began to doubt whether it was right or wrong for him to give up Wen Yan and choose Wen Ruyue.
The Huo family and the King of Thailand were not on good terms, and Wen Ruyue was severely reprimanded because of this.
Wen Yan returned to the inn, and soon Meng Chifei came to the inn.
After a while, Brother Chen Jiu also came in through the window.
When Chen Jiu arrived, his first words were, "Sun Rulan has made a move. He secretly sent someone to reserve the top performer at Qingfeng Tower."
"Qingfeng Tower? Isn't that a men's brothel?" Meng Chifei said in surprise, "He wouldn't want to..."
When Meng Chifei thought about Sun Rulan planning to use the young prostitute to deal with him, he couldn't help but feel disgusted: "When I think about marrying such a person, I feel sick to death!"
Thinking about it again, she had lived with this disgusting man for four or five years in her previous life, and she felt that she had been polluted. She even wanted to poke out her ears and replace them with a pair of ears that had never heard the three words "Sun Rulan".
In addition to the waiters in Qingfeng Tower, Sun Rulan also sent out invitations to some important figures to listen to music in Xianle Pavilion.
Meng Chifei was puzzled.
"He's already hired a waiter, so why is he treating us at Xianle Pavilion?
Is he trying to create an alibi? If something happened to me at the men's brothel, no one would suspect him, right?
"How can it be more convincing if he catches someone else doing it than if he catches them himself?"
