Chapter 443: Palace Banquet (Part 2)
He knew that Yu Mengqing was very protective and would not care about people she didn't know.
But she must protect Guo Peiying and Xue Zhonglan.
"Who is competing with Guo Peiying?" Yu Mengqing asked Chu Shiheng again.
Although the original body was the daughter of the Prime Minister, she was not favored and rarely attended such banquets.
It was only after I got married that I gradually had some opportunities.
This is because Chu Shiheng is not often in Prince Zhan's Mansion. If he were, she might not have the chance.
However, Yu Mengqing could understand that her appearance at that time was indeed not suitable.
At this moment, I felt relieved about my unfamiliarity with these people.
After hearing Yu Mengqing's words, Chu Shiheng naturally knew what she was thinking.
Feeling guilty towards her, he said again, "She is Luo Lingjuan, the daughter of Minister Luo."
When he said this, there was an obvious embarrassment on Chu Shiheng's face.
Yu Mengqing didn't understand why he was embarrassed.
Or did something happen between him and Luo Lingjuan?
Thinking of this, Yu Mengqing immediately suppressed the sourness in her heart and asked, "So, you also think that Luo Lingjuan is very talented?"
In fact, Yu Mengqing really thought that Luo Lingjuan was very good. Based on the poem she just wrote, Yu Mengqing could be sure that she was a talented girl.
But she naturally wouldn't say such words out loud.
You know, that person might have been her love rival, how could she allow herself to do such a stupid thing?
However, after hearing what she said, Chu Shiheng's gaze towards her suddenly changed.
That ambiguous look made Yu Mengqing very suspicious. Did she say something wrong just now?
"You don't know who she is?" Chu Shiheng asked calmly?
"She? Of course I don't know. If I knew, why would I ask you?" Yu Mengqing replied in confusion.
"Her last name is Luo!"
"Hmm, so what? Didn't you just say that? She is Luo Lingjuan, the daughter of Minister Luo?"
"So, you still don't know who she is?"
“I don’t know!”
Chu Shiheng: “…” What else can he say?
He even suspected that she might not even remember who had been in his house before.
That’s right, she was the one who taught others a lesson back then, so it’s natural for her to forget.
At this time, Yu Mengqing seemed to gradually react.
Luo? Shangshu Mansion......
When she slowly raised her head and looked at Chu Shiheng again, there was obviously a different meaning in Yu Mengqing's eyes.
Luo Lijuan? The concubine who was severely punished by her?
The Luo Lijuan who was beaten by her to the point where she was neither alive nor dead?
If it wasn't mentioned now, Yu Mengqing wouldn't even remember that there was such a person as Luo Lijuan.
To put it bluntly, even if Luo Lijuan stood in front of her now, she might not recognize her.
"Did you remember?" Chu Shiheng asked with a smile.
Yu Mengqing: “…” She wanted to say, why was she the one who felt guilty?
Shouldn't it be him?
That is obviously his aunt?
The reason why I taught her a lesson back then was naturally because she deserved to be taught a lesson.
What else? Am I just bored out of my mind?
At the same time, Yu Mengqing also believed that Chu Shiheng naturally knew why he had to teach Luo Lijuan a lesson.
Thinking of this, Yu Mengqing immediately glared back at Chu Shiheng.
Chu Shiheng: “…”
"I've long heard that Miss Guo is a descendant of scholars, but I never thought she would be like this..."
Luo Lingjuan didn't continue the conversation, but anyone could hear the contempt in her tone.
Guo Peiying is a person with a bad temper and is straightforward.
If she could still bear it after hearing such words, she would not be called Guo Peiying.
Besides, she had already performed exceptionally well in poetry today, but in the end, it turned out to be so terrible.
"Luo Lingjuan, don't go too far. If you have the ability, why don't you challenge me in an archery competition?"
"Haha... Miss Guo, things like brandishing swords and guns are for men. We are girls. If we do this too much, won't we become a laughing stock?"
Yu Mengqing didn't know if it was an illusion, but she clearly felt that when Luo Lingjuan said this, her eyes glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally.
Yu Mengqing: "..."
Very good, I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me.
This sentence, when applied to Yu Mengqing, is truly flawless.
However, Yu Mengqing discovered something even more interesting.
That is, Luo Lingjuan's eyes were always looking at Xue Zhonggui intentionally or unintentionally.
If Yu Mengqing, a passerby, couldn't understand the meaning in that look, then she would be unworthy of being a wife.
"Interesting, interesting!" Yu Mengqing murmured softly.
Hearing this, Chu Shiheng immediately became interested and asked with a smile: "How do you want to take revenge on her?"
"Revenge? Revenge for what?" Yu Mengqing pretended to be stupid.
Chu Shiheng: “…” He thought that they had formed a united front, but it turned out that was not the case.
It seems that I really thought too much.
However, Chu Shiheng was very curious about how Yu Mengqing would teach Luo Lingjuan a lesson.
By the way, he hadn't seen her scolding anyone for many years.
Come to think of it, I’m a little excited.
Yu Mengqing didn't notice the excitement on Chu Shiheng's face. At this moment, she was watching the competition between Luo Lingjuan and Xue Zhonglan with great interest.
I have to say, Luo Lingjuan is really capable.
Even Xue Zhonglan, who was known as a talented woman in the capital, began to struggle.
This Shangshu Mansion is truly a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are everywhere.
If Yu Mengqing didn't know at this moment that Luo Lingjuan was targeting her, then she would have been a wasted human being.
Everyone in the capital knows that Guo Peiying and Xue Zhonglan are good friends of Yu Mengqing.
Luo Lingjuan doesn't compete with others, but chooses to pick a fight with these two people. How can Yu Mengqing refuse such an obvious challenge?
Of course, Luo Lingjuan didn't dare to face him directly, so she started with the two of them.
All I can say is that Xue Zhonggui may be only a small part of the reason.
Only the two families knew about his affair with Guo Peiying, and Luo Lingjuan should not have been aware of it.
So the reason why they are targeting Guo Peiying at this time is probably mostly because of myself.
"Ms. Xue, haven't you thought of this yet?" Luo Lingjuan said lightly again.
In fact, if you listen carefully, you can still hear the anxiety in her tone.
Yu Mengqing dared to guarantee that if Xue Zhonglan came up with another one, Luo Lingjuan would lose.
Because at this moment she probably had no better poems in her mind.
However, Yu Mengqing also admires the two of them very much for being able to reach this point.
