Chapter 23 Help, Hua girl was captured by the crazy
Jiang Fei followed the direction Wei Ciying left, and when she arrived at a deserted place, she finally saw the two of them.
There was a distance of half a meter between the two men. It was sheltered from the wind, so I couldn't hear what they were saying, but I could see that their emotions were getting more and more excited, and as they talked, they started arguing.
Jiang Fei crouched down and hid behind a bush. Seeing that Wei Ciying didn't seem to want to get entangled any more and turned to leave, "Pei Jing" grabbed Wei Ciying's wrist and the two started to pull each other.
To be honest, Jiang Fei was actually still a little scared. She had an instinctive fear of Pei Jing, which mainly came from the description of Pei Jing in the book.
After all, she was still deeply impressed by the incident in the book where Pei Jing killed someone at a palace banquet. She couldn't think of anyone else except the emperor who would dare to do that in history.
Fortunately, Wei Ciying is here. In the book, Pei Jing will not kill anyone in front of Wei Ciying. Besides, Pei Jing's favorability towards her is 12 now, so he should not kill her.
In this case, now is the perfect time to establish a good relationship with Wei Ciying.
Having made up her mind, Jiang Fei jumped out of the bushes and shouted loudly: "Let her go!"
The two people who were pulling each other were both stunned, and saw Jiang Rufei rushing over in two steps and pushing Wei Mingzhen.
Wei Mingzhen was pushed back two steps by her and was stunned. "Why are you here?"
"Don't worry about it." Jiang Fei looked back at Wei Ciying and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Wei Ciying didn't know where she came from, "Ah? I'm fine."
"I'm glad you're okay." Jiang Fei didn't want to stay here for long, so she pulled Wei Ciying and said, "Let's go."
"Wait." Wei Mingzhen stopped her. "When will it be your turn to interfere in our affairs?"
"Didn't you see she didn't want to? You still pulled her."
"What's wrong with me pulling her?" Wei Mingzhen said angrily.
This is his family affair. Is Jiang Rufei sick? Why did she jump out?
Jiang Fei said stubbornly, "Since I saw it, I can't just ignore it. Besides, I'm her future sister-in-law. What's wrong with me protecting her?"
Wei Mingzhen's eyes widened. When had he ever said he wanted to marry her? How dare she call herself Wei Ciying's sister-in-law?
"You haven't even married into the Marquis's Mansion yet, and you're already meddling in household affairs! What will happen if you marry into the mansion?"
"She and I will be a family sooner or later, so of course I have to take care of it." Jiang Fei stiffened his neck.
Wei Mingzhen: “…”
As the two men were facing each other, a palace maid came hurriedly.
"The banquet is about to begin. Please invite the distinguished guests to take their seats."
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't miss the auspicious time for the banquet, Wei Mingzhen really wanted to have a good talk with her.
As a brother, he is in charge of his own sister. Why should she, his future sister-in-law who has no future at all, interfere?
Wei Mingzhen flicked his sleeves, turned around and strode away.
Jiang Fei breathed a sigh of relief as she watched him leave, and immediately comforted Wei Ciying, "Don't be afraid."
Wei Ciying looked at her and smiled, "It's okay, I'm not afraid of him."
That's right, since Pei Jing likes Wei Ciying, he won't do anything to her.
At least in the book, when Pei Jing imprisoned Wei Ciying out of jealousy, he never used force on her. He always served her well with good food and drink, and gave her everything she wanted.
"You are Jiang Rufei, my future sister-in-law." Wei Ciying said.
Jiang Fei felt a little embarrassed by her calling him that. "I just spoke too quickly before. We haven't even gotten married yet."
"You're so beautiful." Wei Ciying looked at her, "My third brother is so lucky."
Jiang Fei smiled dryly, "Let's go back quickly."
"Okay." Wei Ciying took her arm and walked back, "I like sister-in-law. If you marry into our family in the future, we can be companions."
She said it so sincerely that Jiang Fei felt a little guilty.
She wanted to marry Wei Mingzhen because of Wei Ciying, and would later frame her in various ways according to the plot in the book.
It is not good to have too high a sense of morality, as you will easily feel guilty over the slightest thing.
Jiang Fei forced a smile and said, "Your brother doesn't seem very satisfied with me. I don't know if this marriage will be successful."
"It will definitely work." Wei Ciying looked at her seriously, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. Although Third Brother has a cold temper, he values his promises the most. Since the two families have an engagement, he will definitely marry you."
When the two returned to the banquet, the seats were almost full.
Jiang Fei sat in her seat. There were several rows of people sitting in front of her, and she could see many dark backs of their heads.
She turned her head and looked through the gap between the people. Wei Ciying had already taken a seat, but...
etc!
Jiang Fei's heart skipped a beat and she almost stood up.
She stared intently at the person next to Wei Ciying. It was Pei Jing. Why was Pei Jing sitting next to Wei Ciying again? Was he planning to do something inappropriate again?
What about Wei Mingzhen? He was really relieved to have such a big and powerful wolf by his sister's side.
Suddenly, the eunuch's shrill voice was heard in the hall.
"The Emperor has arrived—The Empress has arrived—"
Jiang Fei quickly lowered his head and knelt down to pay homage with everyone else.
When she looked up, the emperor and the queen had already taken their seats.
The Emperor wore a bright yellow dragon robe, his expression indifferent, his eyes as still as an ancient well, revealing no emotion. The Empress, with a smile on her face, wore a gilded peony and phoenix robe, looking graceful and elegant.
The Emperor raised his hand towards everyone and said, "Excuse me, today is the Queen's birthday, a very happy occasion. You don't need to be so restrained."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the people below him, and when he looked away, there was a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
The Queen said, "Today is my birthday. I am deeply honored by the presence of all the princes, ministers, relatives, and nobles. I hope that everyone will enjoy today's banquet and celebrate this auspicious occasion together. I also wish that our Great Zhao Kingdom will prosper."
The queen picked up the wine cup, clinked glasses with the emperor, and drank it all in one gulp.
The ministers immediately shouted: "I wish the Queen a long life and good health! I wish our Great Zhao Kingdom prosperity!"
The sound of stringed instruments suddenly arose, and dancers came in gracefully, dancing with waving sleeves. Everyone clinked glasses and the wine in the cups shimmered.
Jiang Fei looked at the dancers on the dance floor and knew why everyone wanted to be the emperor. She wanted to be one too.
If she becomes the empress, she will find a group of male dancers with eight-pack abs to dance for her, and she won't allow them to wear shirts.
Suddenly, the eunuch's message came from the door.
"Prince Zhaoning has arrived—"
The dancers suddenly dispersed from the middle to both sides, and the hall, which had been bustling with singing and dancing, suddenly became quiet.
Prince Zhaoning? What the hell? Wasn't Pei Jing sitting next to Wei Ciying?
Jiang Fei's heart trembled, and a bad premonition came over her. She looked suddenly towards the door.
A man in a black brocade robe walked slowly towards them, the dark gold patterns on the hem of his robe swimming in the candlelight.
"It's so lively here."
Pei Jing walked at a leisurely pace, and the gilded scabbard with coiled dragon pattern hanging at his waist tapped lightly against the jade belt. Every crisp sound seemed to hit everyone's spine.
