Chapter 52 Beautiful
Pei Jinxuan, sitting quietly in the corner, felt very uncomfortable.
Trying to get the skin of a tiger is like asking for trouble. But now that things have come to this, I can only clean up the mess for King Pingyang.
But I had clearly asked the imperial physician to calculate it before, and he knew that with the dosage of Kuang Fei San they added, it should not be detectable in the blood.
However, if all the palace servants were thoroughly investigated, it would certainly be discovered that there were people belonging to Prince Pingyang among them.
As long as Wei Yan intends to take advantage of the situation and defeat Wei Wu, Wei Wu will have to take the blame.
Wei Junming nodded, his voice filled with the authority of an emperor who could not be offended: "Yan'er, then you will lead the investigation of this matter and give your brother justice."
As he spoke, he glanced at Wei Wu who was sitting on his right.
Wei Wu lowered his head slightly, but his fists hidden under the wine table were clenched tightly.
The emperor has been dissatisfied with him recently, but the hunting expedition was not originally planned for Wei Yan.
It was a disaster for that fool when he met him, but in the end it was inexplicably linked to Wei Ran.
Also made a serious injury scene -
What bad luck.
No matter how you investigate this scene, the fire will eventually burn you.
Even if he had to sacrifice his life as a palace maid, the seed of doubt would be planted in Wei Junming's heart.
After such a commotion, everyone had different thoughts.
Lu Yong, who was sitting in the audience, breathed a sigh of relief. This royal affair was too complicated. Fortunately, he had listened to Qiao Xiao and did not marry her to the Pei family.
Judging from the attitude of His Royal Highness Prince Ding'an, he will not give up until the crime is pinned on a specific person.
Not to mention that Prince Pingyang was the only prince who was not present among those who participated in the hunting.
Some time ago, I heard that Prince Ding'an asked the Ministry of Revenue for 100,000 taels of silver under the pretext of repairing a Buddhist temple, but the Ministry of Revenue did not approve it.
Anyone in the court who is a little cunning knows that the second son of the Pei family is close to Prince Pingyang.
This is bad luck.
Lu Yong glanced at his daughter again. He didn't expect that this girl was so capable.
Based on what happened today, His Majesty will definitely look at her differently, and it is not impossible that he will give her an official position.
Wei Junming originally wanted to cancel tonight's singing and dancing banquet and let everyone rest early.
But the young eunuch beside him came to report that the palace's singing, dancing and vocal music had been prepared for a month in order to have a brief performance in the hunting grounds.
It would be a pity if it were cancelled rashly.
Wei Mingzhu raised her glass with her slender hands and offered a toast to Wei Junming, saying loudly, "Father, precisely because something so depressing happened today, we should all relax and forget about those bad things. What do you think?"
How could Wei Junming bear to reject his daughter who was lost and found again? He had to nod and agree, with the unique tenderness of an old father in his eyes.
As musicians entered the venue carrying instruments such as pipa and yangqin, the originally solemn atmosphere was slightly relieved.
The court officials then began to drink, chat and laugh.
"Have you heard? The dance for this hunt was specially choreographed. It's said to combine the tenderness of the Raincoat Dance with the unrestrained style of the Huxuan Dance. It's quite something to watch!"
"Do you really take it so seriously? If you could bring home a beautiful bride, that would be the best!"
While everyone was speculating and discussing, a veiled, slim dancer came forward, twisting her slender waist.
Indeed unrestrained.
Lu Qiaoxiao stared with his eyes wide open.
She subconsciously looked in the direction where Shen Yuheng was sitting, but found that the seat was empty.
It's such a pity that he missed such a great song and dance.
While Lu Qiaoxiao was secretly feeling sorry for Shen Yuheng, a clear voice suddenly came to his ears:
"Miss Lu, the young master wants to meet you in Xinglin."
A hint of doubt flashed across Lu Qiaoxiao's eyes, but he soon figured it out.
It's time to ask her about the actual situation of today's hunting grounds.
After all, the undercurrents among the princes will definitely affect Shen Yuheng's judgment and actions in the court.
While she was thinking, she stood up and left.
Lu Yong held the wine glass and sipped it slowly, thinking that he might have drunk too much and was hallucinating.
Why does the dancer in the middle look more and more like Yue'er?
He frowned, then immediately denied himself with a smile.
How could his good daughter show up in public at such an occasion and dance to please everyone?
Qingyue has always been well-educated, gentle and virtuous.
Besides, last time he talked to Yue'er about marrying to the northern border in place of Princess Ningyuan, she didn't raise any objections, right?
Lu Yong took another sip of the wine happily; it tasted sweet.
Xinglin:
The falling flowers and the shadows of the trees are already a beautiful scene full of spring, and the slender figure standing in the woods adds vitality to the static spring.
Lu Qiaoxiao held his breath and walked over quickly, deliberately making his steps light.
As he approached the man, he suddenly turned around.
When their eyes met, the clear and direct gaze made it impossible to avoid it.
Lu Qiaoxiao felt his lips and teeth were a little dry.
"Sir, this is a good time for singing, dancing, poetry, wine and beauties. Why did you call me here?" She spoke to him more boldly now.
The more you spend time together, the less cautious you will be.
Besides, Lu Qiaoxiao himself has a somewhat naive personality, and when he sees Shen Yuheng being so reserved and self-possessed, he can't help but want to tease him sometimes.
Although it is customary for the bride and groom to see each other less frequently before their wedding, it seems that Shen Yuheng does not have such a rule.
He would call her over every now and then, with all sorts of reasons: Lu Shiyou wanted to eat steamed cakes, Miss Lu wanted to play a game of chess, he found a painting and wanted to invite her to appreciate it together.
It's a pity that I can't play two games with her.
She is the best at wielding swords and guns.
Shen Yuheng was nearly a head taller than her, and his slender figure suddenly loomed over her, giving people an invisible sense of oppression.
He stared at her intently, and as if that wasn't enough, he raised his hand, pulled her arm over, and took a closer look.
Lu Qiaoxiao's mind went blank. His hands, which were powerful enough to chop people effortlessly, were now being pinched limply by him.
Shen Yuheng didn't say anything, but just stroked the cut on the back of her hand caused by the branch.
Lu Qiaoxiao had forgotten about this. Seeing that there was no bleeding, she didn't do anything about it.
She still remembered that when she was in Pei's house, she had her period and her stomach was in great pain, as if all her internal organs were huddled together. The pain made her roll around on the bed, sweating profusely.
When Pei Jinxuan saw this, he just frowned and thought she was being pretentious.
That day, she was called by her mother-in-law to set rules. She was exposed to the midday sun for two hours and finally fainted on the hot bluestone floor.
"Does it hurt?" Shen Yuheng's voice was very soft, but it instantly brought her back to reality.
Lu Qiaoxiao looked at the man in front of her, and her eyes couldn't help but feel sore.
He lowered his eyes and was quiet. The only movement was the breeze lifting his soft hair and then letting it fall.
As if in his previous life, he was at her grave, silently removing the weeds growing wildly in front of the tombstone, and brushing off the fine dust on the inscription with his sleeves.
So gentle——
Lu Qiaoxiao pulled his hand away in a panic, blinked his eyes fiercely, sniffed, and said, "I didn't feel it at first, but now that you said that, it hurts."
Shen Yuheng let out a low sigh. "Next time you encounter this kind of situation, I just hope you'll run away and not bother with them."
Lu Qiaoxiao's eyes widened: "That's the person you're loyal to? So I'm worried that you'll suffer a loss."
Shen Yuheng glanced at her and sneered, "Who's the one who's at a disadvantage?"
"If you encounter danger in the future, just take care of yourself."
Lu Qiaoxiao stared at the slender and powerful fingers. The cool and delicate touch made her feel more peaceful than ever before.
"Qiao Qiao, I'm worried." The voice lingered in the wind.
A milky apricot petal fluttered and fell onto the hands of the two people.
Lu Qiaoxiao suddenly felt that this scene was somewhat charming, but she could not find any evidence.
