Chapter 47: Yuan Shanjian appears! A famous scene of three people fighting
He sat down opposite He Zhaojun leisurely, pressed his slender fingers on the fan ribs, gently opened the folding fan, and slowly fanned it, sending the fragrance in his fan to He Zhaojun.
"What is this..." He Zhaojun covered her mouth and nose vigilantly.
Wen Ziduan smiled and said, "It's an aphrodisiac."
He Zhaojun lowered her hand instead. The fragrance was refreshing and brought a moment of peace to the mind, presumably to soothe the mind. "Then, Your Highness the Third Prince, do you still feel that the medicine in my body isn't effective enough?"
If he really wanted to take advantage of someone's misfortune, he could have asked someone to guard the door and not let Doctor Sun in. He might lose consciousness in a moment and be at the mercy of others.
"You are smart, but I don't understand. In order to get my mother's consent, you planned the third princess's birthday banquet, but you actually...tsk tsk tsk tsk, let me guess, who are you doing this for?" Wen Ziduan slowly stood up and paced around the room.
Who else could it be? He specifically mentioned the beautiful scenery of the Lou family, wasn't it just for Lou Yao? Wen Ziduan's face darkened. He turned and walked in front of He Zhaojun, lifting her chin with his folding fan.
"Do you know that right now, your eyes are full of spring water, your face is rosy, and you look really... beautiful. Why don't you call me a few nice words, and I might consider saving you."
He Zhaojun was gambling. Even if Wen Ziduan's words were frivolous, he was raised by Concubine Yue. As a proper son of the royal family, he would never do such a bad thing as taking advantage of others' misfortune.
She felt her heart pounding like a drum, and the people in front of her seemed to be covered in gold. She was about to faint.
Sounds nice, right?
He Zhaojun curled her lips and said, "Sister Duanduan, save me..." Then she collapsed unconscious. As for why Wen Ziduan was so furious, she pretended not to know.
——
Soon it was the day of the third princess' birthday. He Zhaojun stood in the courtyard early in the morning, watching everyone busy themselves with their own things. They behaved very well and no one could find any fault with them.
After all, she was afraid that someone would cause trouble at the banquet, which would not only implicate herself and offend the third princess, but would also likely cause the original plot to collapse.
So she proposed to Concubine Yue that the Lou family jointly supervise the banquet on the grounds that she had no capable people outside the palace. Sure enough, all those who originally wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble stopped and did not dare to act rashly.
She tilted her head to glance at Lou Yu: "The things I asked you to prepare must not be wrong." Because they were going on a lake cruise and had to take a boat, she was afraid that someone would be pushed into the water. At the very least, their clothes would get wet and they would be in a mess. At worst, they would die and the scene would become a murder scene.
"Yes, yes, yes. About a hundred maids, servants and attendants who are familiar with water have been assigned to each ship. There are more than ten lookouts on high places. Strong ropes are prepared on the bridgeside. There is a guard post every five steps and a sentry every ten steps." Lou Yu's ears were almost callused.
She was disdainful in her heart. Is it necessary to be so cautious? "You haven't even married me yet, so it's easy for you to give orders to the Lou family!"
He Zhaojun smiled and said, "The people who come here are either rich or noble. If there is any accident, both the Lou and He families will suffer. Young lady, you don't want to turn a good thing into a bad one and cause trouble, right?"
Lou Yu snorted, "Since you've provided the Lou family with an opportunity to befriend both the Xuan and Yue families, I won't bother with you for now. However, don't think that you have to be the head of the Lou family."
He Zhaojun didn't say anything, too lazy to pay attention to her. Still in charge of the Lou family?
The He family's farmland was much richer than expected, and it had been neglected in the early years, with a mountain of chronic problems. In addition, after taking over the shop from Prince Yong, He Zhaojun had to be busy until late at night every day after returning home, so she had no time to take care of the Lou family's affairs.
She saw from afar that Ling Buyi was pulling Shao Shang into the courtyard. Lou Yao and Yuan Shanjian had already gathered nearby, and it looked like a war was about to break out.
He Zhaojun vaguely smelled the scent of gossip and secretly moved over to eavesdrop.
