Mei Ji and Zhuge Qing were sitting in Yuwen Huai's carriage, so there was no need for them to get off.
She lifted the curtain and looked at the huge crowd. Suddenly, she exclaimed, "Sir? I think I saw those three little guys!"
Zhuge Qing didn't say anything, but Yuwen Huai asked with a smile: "What little guy?"
Mei Ji dressed like a decent girl today. She didn't wear revealing clothes, but she chose a cloud-patterned brocade that was as bright as the clouds. She put on delicate and beautiful makeup, and she looked as beautiful as a peach.
An official passing by took one look at her and bumped into a pillar on the spot.
"No future." She rolled her eyes, then smiled and answered Yu Wenhuai's words, "The three little tenants of the inn opposite have been visiting Mr.'s house recently."
She didn't want to talk to Yuwen Huai, she wanted to look at the three little kids.
But when she looked over there again, the little kid was no longer in the crowd.
"ah."
Meiji was disappointed.
The three little ones, Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao were invited to get on the carriage of the Princess's Mansion.
Yuwen Xi and the little princess were sitting in the carriage.
The Emperor of Western Jin issued an oral order, asking Yuwen Xi and her daughter to attend the banquet as well.
Yuwen Xi opened a gap in the carriage curtain and said to Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao: "The carriage in front is Yuwen Huai's carriage, and Zhuge Qing is also in his carriage."
Are we going to meet the Mr. Zhuge that was rumored to be here? Su Xiaoxiao was looking forward to it.
In another carriage, Yuwen Huai looked at Zhuge Qing in front of him and said, "Father has released Yuwen Xi, saying that he only allowed her to attend a banquet and will continue to imprison her when she returns, but things may not be that simple. From what I know about Yuwen Xi, she will seize every opportunity to turn things around. I don't want to see her make a comeback, sir, do you have any countermeasures?"
Zhuge Qing said calmly, "Yes."
Mei Ji thought to herself that Yuwen Huai had invited the gentleman to the banquet just to deal with Yuwen Xi.
Yuwen Huai smiled, and the sadness on his face dissipated a lot: "As expected, with you here, nothing will go wrong."
The banquet was held in the Chongming Hall in the front courtyard and had not yet officially started. Outside the hall to the east were pavilions, a garden lotus pond, and a number of temporarily built elegant pavilions, and to the west were an orchard and a grassland.
The garden and the grassland were the most lively. In the former, female guests were playing tossing pots, and in the latter, male guests were playing cuju.
The carriage stopped on the willow path beside the lotus pond.
The little princess asked the three little ones, "Big Tiger, Second Tiger, Little Tiger, what do you want to play?"
Dahu wanted to play Cuju, Erhu wanted to row a boat, and Xiaohu wanted to play tossing pots. It was the first time that the three brothers had different opinions.
"Ah, this..." The little princess scratched her head, she was in trouble.
Su Xiaoxiao tore off three pieces of paper, wrote one, two, and three on them, and asked the three brothers to draw them. They then went to play in the order they drew.
As a result, Big Tiger drew one, Second Tiger drew two, and Little Tiger drew three.
Your brother is still your brother.
Xiaohu is depressed.
The little princess took a Cuju and took the three little ones to the grassland to play.
Xing'er and Moye followed.
Yuwen Xi took Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting to a nearby pavilion.
The palace maid served tea and snacks and then left.
Yu Wenxi took a sip of tea and said, "Today is my only chance. If I can't completely revoke my father's order against me, it will be difficult to get out in the future."
Wei Ting asked, "What does your highness plan to do?"
Yuwen Xi smiled faintly: "This time it was Zhuge Qing's handiwork. If I want to stop being schemed against by Yuwen Huai, I must defeat him first."
Wei Ting looked at the calm and confident conversation and said, "Your Highness has a good plan in mind."
Yu Wenxi said with deep eyes: "Of course, I have prepared a very generous gift today... for Zhuge Qing!"
It seems that Zhuge Qing can't escape today, but what does this have to do with him? His purpose is to find his second brother, and once he finds his second brother, he will immediately take him back to the Great Zhou. The internal strife of the Western Jin Dynasty has nothing to do with him.
The envoys from the Great Zhou arrived, and Wei Ting went to say hello to the old marquis and Su Yuan.
Su Xiaoxiao was the doctor invited by Yuwen Xi. She and Wei Ting did not come to the Western Jin Dynasty as envoys. It would be more appropriate for them to appear with Yuwen Xi. Otherwise, it would seem suspicious if they deliberately distanced themselves from the Imperial Princess's Mansion.
"That's right." Su Yuan patted Wei Ting on the shoulder, "See you at the banquet later."
Wei Ting nodded: "Okay, I'll go over first."
After he left, Su Yuan smiled and said to the old marquis: "Father, Wei Ting is a good man."
The old marquis snorted.
Meiji couldn't sit still in the pavilion, she wanted to go out for a walk.
Yuwen Huai asked a young eunuch to accompany her, but she refused. She hated having irrelevant people following her.
She walked out of the pavilion and after a few steps she saw three little balls rolling around on the grass.
"Oh! It's really them!"
Her eyes lit up and she ran over to touch the baby.
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure. She looked closely and said, "Is it him? Why is this blind man here? Who is he? I have never seen him in the palace before? Is he someone's newly hired aide?
"Could it be from Yu Wenxi's residence?"
If that were the case, it's no wonder he investigated Mr.
It seems that this guy must be killed! She took out the bone whistle from her wide sleeves and blew it three times.
Behind Zhuge Qing, a man dressed in black armor stepped forward and said, "Sir, Meiji is calling me."
This person is the killer that Zhuge Qing agreed to lend to Mei Ji.
"Go ahead." Zhuge Qing paused and warned, "Be careful."
"yes."
The killer obeyed the order.
He found Meiji.
Meiji pointed at Wei Ting who was not far away and said, "Kill him!"
"Sir, let me be careful."
"Just lead the person to a deserted place and kill him. Just don't hurt any innocent people!"
"good."
The killer walked towards Wei Ting, and the moment he passed by Wei Ting, he snatched Wei Ting's purse.
Wei Ting frowned.
…
In the pavilion, Yuwen Huai's confidant stepped forward and whispered to Yuwen Huai: "Your Highness, His Majesty wants you to come over."
"Got it." Yuwen Huai smiled at Zhuge Qing who was sitting in a wheelchair, "Sir, I'll be back soon."
Zhuge Qing was the only one left in the pavilion.
But after Wei Ting's purse was taken away, he naturally refused to give up.
The man had great martial arts skills and disappeared into the orchard opposite in an instant.
Wei Ting chased after him.
The orchard was empty, not a sound of human voice could be heard.
He concentrated his mind and energy, alert to the movements around him.
Suddenly, a vast murderous aura came from the waves above his head. He looked up and saw the man holding a knife in both hands, slashing at him fiercely.
Wei Ting dodged sideways.
They were not allowed to bring weapons into the palace, and no one knew where this man's long sword came from.
The knife missed and hit the ground, leaving a deep groove on the spot.
It is conceivable that if I had not been able to dodge, I would have been split in half by him.
Black armor guard.
Someone from the Grand Prince’s Mansion.
Is Feiyue Theater affiliated with the eldest prince's mansion?
It could also be the one called Zhuge Qing.
This person is extremely skilled in martial arts, but he has no weapons, so he would not be at an advantage in a fight.
"Don't pick the wrong ones again, you two."
"Yes, auntie."
The voices of several palace maids were heard not far away.
The killer, who was about to chop him on the shoulder, suddenly put away the knife and dodged behind a big tree.
When the maids walked away, the killer rushed out, but Wei Ting was gone too! The killer hurried to chase after him.
Wei Ting deduced that he could not reveal his identity, and he would be fine as long as he went to a crowded place.
There was a pavilion in front of us. The roller shutter of the pavilion was lowered, but a figure could be vaguely glimpsed through the gap in the shutter.
Wei Ting walked up the steps in a few steps, quickly opened the curtain and flashed into the pavilion.
"Is His Highness in the pavilion?"
"No, I'm going to see His Majesty. I'll be here soon. Are these fruits picked for His Majesty?"
"yes."
After hearing the conversation between the palace maids and eunuchs coming from the bottom of the stairs, Wei Ting felt unwell.
Is he intruding into Yuwen Huai's territory?
Yuwen Huai was not in the pavilion. There was only a man sitting in a wheelchair, his thin figure with his back to him.
There was a long sword on the stone table next to the man.
Without saying a word, Wei Ting drew out his sword and put it on his neck: "Don't make a sound, or I'll kill you!"
It's the last three days, let's hold on. Please vote for "The General" with your monthly tickets. I'm counting on you all.
