Chapter 284 Can the coffin lids of the Wei family’s ancestors still hold down the coffin?
The first flower picker finished his performance and everyone started bidding. Princess Hengyang tilted her head and asked Xiao Qinghe, "He'er, what do you think of this guy? Do you want to call him over for a closer look?"
Xiao Qinghe quickly shook her head: "Thank you, Princess, for your kindness, but no thanks. I'll just watch the performance like this."
Princess Hengyang thought she was just shy and said, "Since you're here, what's the point of just looking? Your aunt and I are pregnant and there's nothing we can do. You're a free person now, so you can do whatever you want."
Princess Hengyang spoke so bluntly and arrogantly that Xiao Qinghe couldn't help blushing. She looked at Chunxi for help. Chunxi coughed lightly and defended herself, "Princess, I'm actually quite a womanizer."
Even if she wasn't pregnant, she would just join in the fun and wouldn't have any other thoughts.
Chunxi then asked, "Princess, why do you suddenly want to have some fun? But what did your husband do to displease you?"
Hearing Chunxi mention the prince consort, Princess Hengyang's expression became a little unnatural. She lowered her eyes to avoid Chunxi's gaze and replied stiffly, "I'm pregnant now. He wants to worship me like a bodhisattva. How dare he do anything to displease me?"
It's just that she had said before that she would kill the father and keep the son, and this bastard seemed to have taken it seriously. Princess Hengyang accidentally found a divorce certificate with a private seal on it in the study two days ago.
This bastard actually planned to divorce her after she gave birth to the baby!
Princess Hengyang was a little panicked, but she couldn't bring herself to try to keep him.
There are many people in the princess's mansion who are eager to take care of the child. It's not like she has to leave this bastard. Even if she divorces him, with her status and position, it won't be difficult for her to find a young and handsome prince consort.
It's just that this bastard's appearance is so good that it's really hard to find someone better looking than him.
Chunxi already knew that Princess Hengyang had a habit of saying one thing and thinking another, but she was unwilling to say more, so Chunxi did not ask any further questions.
Soon, several young men came on stage one after another to perform their talents. They either sang or danced, each with their own strengths. It was indeed pleasing to the eye. However, perhaps because her taste was improved by the beauty of her husband, Chunxi was not amazed.
Just when I was feeling bored and sleepy, a man in black wearing a mask and holding a sword slowly walked out.
Chunxi's mouth froze as she was about to yawn, and she subconsciously looked at Xiao Qinghe, only to meet Xiao Qinghe's astonished gaze.
Princess Hengyang muttered quietly, "Huh? Didn't Lanshu just say that their Pavilion Master doesn't perform easily? Why is he out again?"
This person is not Xiao Yechen!
Chunxi and Xiao Qinghe both denied it in their hearts.
Although the mask completely covered his face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, it could be determined from the way he walked that the person standing in front of them was Wei Lingze.
The young men in Wuyou Pavilion performed their talent of picking flowers in order to please their patrons and sell themselves for a good price. Even if Wei Lingze suffered a blow, he wouldn't need to come to Wuyou Pavilion to sell his body, right?
Although Chunxi and Xiao Qinghe recognized Wei Lingze, they were unable to believe it for a moment because the matter was too unbelievable.
Among the flowers, Wei Lingze was already dancing with his sword skillfully.
Although he was defeated miserably in the previous winter hunt, his aura was much stronger than that of the young waiter from Wuyou Pavilion. Without the pressure of competition, he wielded the sword with ease. The branches and leaves of flowers and trees fluttered and twirled around him, which was a very beautiful sight.
"I told you, the others are far worse than him."
Princess Hengyang clicked her tongue and rang the bell to bid without waiting for Wei Lingze to finish his performance.
Xiao Qinghe subconsciously stopped him: "Your Highness, Princess, no!"
Although she and Wei Lingze have divorced, meeting each other in such an occasion would not only be embarrassing but also cause trouble.
Princess Hengyang didn't recognize Wei Lingze. When she heard Xiao Qinghe trying to stop her, she asked in confusion, "What happened? Did you have a fight with the Pavilion Master? Wasn't he very kind to you before? Do you despise him because of his low birth?"
"I don't mind..."
Xiao Qinghe denied it, not knowing how to explain it. Chunxi helped her speak up, "Princess, you've made a mistake. This man is not the Pavilion Master. If you don't believe me, just call Master Lanshu and ask him."
Princess Hengyang didn't care: "Why bother calling Lan Shu? I can just pay to call him over for questioning."
At this time, Wei Lingze had just finished dancing with the sword. When he was about to finish, he turned his wrist and steadily picked up a rose bud with the tip of his sword.
The ending posture was quite beautiful. Several guests competed to bid. Princess Hengyang did not dare to fall behind and directly raised the price to five thousand taels. Chunxi and Xiao Qinghe's eyelids jumped. They were hesitating whether to tell Princess Hengyang the truth when the bell rang. Someone bid ten thousand taels.
"Hey, there's actually someone richer than this princess."
Princess Hengyang was stubborn and wanted to raise the price further, but Chunxi quickly stopped her and said, "Princess, he's just a young prostitute. It's not worth spending ten thousand taels on him. Besides, he's wearing a mask, so he might be very ugly."
"But he dances with the sword beautifully. If his face is really ugly, just let him put on the mask later."
Princess Hengyang didn't care. Chunxi wanted to persuade her again, but Wei Lingze turned and left among the flowers.
He didn't want to take in customers, but just wanted to prove that his charm was still there, that many women were crazy about him, and that He'er would eventually come back to him.
However, he had just taken two steps when seven or eight guards came forward and surrounded him: "My master has taken a fancy to you and even offered ten thousand taels for you. According to the rules, you have to go see our master."
Lan Shu appeared just in time: "Everyone, this is our Pavilion Master. He just happened to be in a good mood and wanted to help everyone have fun. The Pavilion Master does not entertain guests."
"That's how you tried to evade our master last time. Our master said that since he wants to perform, he must abide by the rules of Wuyou Pavilion!"
As soon as the words fell, several people drew their swords, as if they were going to take Wei Lingze away by force if he didn't go with them.
"Don't worry, everyone. Today's incident is all my fault. How about this? I'll go with you to apologize..."
Lan Shu tried to mediate, but Wei Lingze was already impatient. He pushed Lan Shu away and started fighting with these people with his sword.
Unlike the beauty of his sword dance, Wei Lingze's heart was filled with violence, and all his attacks were killing moves. In just a moment, someone died under his sword.
The guards didn't expect that the people from Wuyou Pavilion would dare to kill people, and they no longer held back. Under the siege of several people, Wei Lingze's mask was quickly knocked off.
The moment his true face was revealed, Chunxi heard several exclamations coming from different directions. Princess Hengyang, who was stopped by her and could not continue bidding, widened her eyes.
"Wei Lingze? Is there anything wrong with this princess's eyes? Wei Lingze actually came to Wuyou Pavilion to perform. Can the coffins of the Wei family ancestors still hold him down?"
Chunxi: “…”
Xiao Qinghe: "..."
