Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 214 The Peachy Trap
The hall echoed with the laughter of the guests, and it was lively.

Young and beautiful dancers are dancing in the hall, and the girls are playing the pipa and jade flute in the hall, and the air is full of beautiful strings.

Today, Duke Wu'an invited a famous female recorder from Chang'an, and Yu Xuanji from Zhangtai Pavilion hosted the banquet. Ever since Chang'an female school Shu Yuxiao came to Duke Yi's mansion as a concubine and became Qin Lang's concubine, now in Chang'an city , Yu Xuanji became the No. 1 female prostitute in Chang'an.

His reputation soared, and he was overwhelmed with invitations from aristocratic families.

Now it's not the prince who pleases Yu Xuanji.

At the banquet, the aroma of wine was overflowing. Good wine drinkers drank Guogong wine, and those who were not good drinkers drank Persian salamander with honey, and the older ones drank Gaochang wine... These wines are not only bright and transparent. , especially expensive, fighting wine thousands of dollars.

Qin Lang saw that his winery had been out of production for so long, and Xue Wanche's family still had so many national wines. He couldn't help but sigh that these princes and nobles are really good. They buy a lot of wine at a time, and store them without caring about the price at all. .

He was actually a little embarrassed sitting in the banquet hall of Xue's mansion. He came here today because he received an invitation.Because Xue Wanche admires the eldest princess of Danyang, he is now the captain of the son-in-law of Danyang, and Qin Lang is the fiancé of Princess Changle, so he is also a relative now.

Xue Wanche is a new General of the Left Guard, so he held a banquet to invite relatives and friends. Qin Lang also received the invitation and didn't want to come. After all, he had such an affair with Princess Danyang before, but if Xue Wanche invited, if he didn't come , on the contrary, I was a little confused, so I came here anyway.

But after he came, Xue Wanche didn't pay much attention to him, on the contrary he was very indifferent to him, even today Xue Wanche still had a few red marks on his face.

Qin Lang could tell at a glance that it was obviously the marks of someone being scratched, or a woman's fingernail marks. Who would dare to scratch the magistrate?Undoubtedly, there is only Princess Danyang.

He couldn't help but think of a joke that is circulating in Beijing today, saying that Xue Wanche has never been in the bed of the eldest princess since she was the eldest princess of Shangdanyang, and she has never even eaten and chatted with the table. He, don't talk to him at all, let alone share the same bed.

There are rumors outside that the eldest princess thinks Xue Wanche is rough!
Think he's arrogant, think he's stupid!

Qin Lang felt that Danyang actually misunderstood Xue Wanche a bit. Xue Wanche's father was also a general of the Sui Dynasty, and his family was the Xue family from Hedong, which was also a well-known noble family.Xue Wanche has eight brothers, and they were known as the Eight Tigers of the Xue family when they were young.

When he came to the Tang Dynasty with Luo Yi, he was also very appreciated by the emperor.

As for the shortcomings, Xue Wanche is a little older, more than ten years older than the eldest princess, and the military commander must be rough. In addition, he was wounded and scarred during the war, so he looks a bit hideous.

But Qin Lang thinks it's nothing, it's quite masculine.

But the eldest princess doesn't think so, she despises Xue Wanche.

Originally, when her elder brother betrothed her to Qin Lang, although she also felt that Qin Lang's background was not good, but later on she felt that it was okay, but who would have expected that Qin Lang would reject the marriage, which can be described as a great blow.The bigger blow was that the elder brother promised Qin Lang to accept it, but in the end he promised Changle to Qin Lang, and instead promised him to Xue Wanche.

This matter has become a knot.

She was even more dissatisfied with Xue Wanche.

Although it is still in the midst of the disaster, the food crisis in Chang'an has not passed, and the most serious food shortage will be in the year after the year when the crops will not be harvested. Nowadays, the people in Guanzhong mainly rely on locusts, millet porridge and wild vegetables to survive. At the banquet, the table was filled with delicacies from mountains and seas.

Roasted camels, lambs, geese, chickens, pigeons, and even beef that ordinary people can't eat are also available on Xue's table.

The imperial court forbids private slaughtering of farm cattle. Even old and sick people have to report it to the government and sell it to the government for slaughter. The beef is also processed by the government. The so-called processing actually ends up on the table of the royal family or princes and nobles.

A table of delicacies from mountains and seas, such as pork, which ordinary people may only eat a little during the Chinese New Year, is not even available at the Xue family banquet. These people look down on pork.

The Xue family's cook is not bad, and these hard dishes are not bad.

The bear paws were deliciously stewed with honey.

Roasted whole lamb is also added with precious pepper and other spices.

Chickens, ducks, geese, etc. made several dishes, probably because there are so many chickens and ducks in Chang'an.

Meat alone is not a dish.

"Spinach, onion, lettuce, cabbage... so many fresh vegetables are extremely rare. I heard that now in Chang'an, only your manor, Mr. Yi, has these new vegetables, and they are very expensive. There is no market, and it is hard to find a dish!"

Yu Xuanji held up the wine glass and came to Qin Lang, smiling coquettishly.

"I think Xue's family has a lot of fruit. In this season, getting so many fresh fruits is not only possible with money." Qin Lang looked at the fresh oranges in front of him.

"Sister Yuxiao, how are you? I haven't seen her for a long time. I heard that she is pregnant now."

"If you want to see her, you can go to my house when you have time. I believe she would also like you, a sister, to be a guest."

Yu Xuanji stretched out his jade hand and peeled an orange for Qin Lang, "People like us are humble, so we dare not casually step into the gate of a prince." She was telling the truth, no matter how popular and famous she was, it was still just a humble trick Girls, those princes and wealthy families despise them very much, and they will not allow them to easily contact the women in their backyard.

Yu Xiao used to be of the same status as her, but now she was lucky enough to find a nobleman like Qin Lang, and Yu Xuanji didn't want to disturb her current life, for fear of affecting her.

"You know I don't care much about that."

"Well, after a few days, I will go to visit Sister Yuxiao at the mansion!" Yu Xuanji was very happy.

Watching dances, listening to songs, singing wine and chatting, the banquet of the nobles is a bit boring.

Especially today, there were no acquaintances beside him, and the others seemed to be deliberately ignoring Qin Lang, which made him a little embarrassed.

After sitting for a while, Qin Lang got up to go to the toilet for convenience.

Coming out after convenience, I wanted to say goodbye and go home, but I met a servant of Xue's family.

"My family, Alang, asked Yi Guogong to discuss matters in the past. Please come with this slave."

Qin Lang straightened his clothes, "Thank you for leading the way!"

The servant led Qin Lang around Xue's mansion, Qin Lang was a little puzzled, why did he seem to go to the backyard.

As a result, the servant took the initiative and said, "Alang, my servant, has something important to discuss with Duke Yi, and I don't want it to be widely known!"

The servant led him to a side room, "Duke Yi please come in."

Qin Lang pushed open the door, it was very quiet inside, and there was a row of screens unfolding inside the door.

Going around the screen, there is a couch inside, with gauze hanging, lying in front of you.

Seeing the crimson curtain, Qin Lang felt something was wrong, how could Xue Wanche lead him to talk about things in such a place?

But at this moment when he heard his footsteps approaching, a soft cry came from the crimson curtain.

"Qin Sanlang, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Qin Lang was startled, and when he looked around, he saw a young woman, in a haze, wearing a light gown with her skin hanging down, lying on her side on the colorful couch mat. .

"Princess?"

Qin Lang recognized that the woman lying on the couch was none other than Princess Danyang, and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Danyang on the couch saw Qin Lang's surprised look, but he was not in a hurry, and there was even a look of complacency in his eyes.

"An accident? Come and sit!"

The princess laughed.

Qin Lang came to his senses abruptly, and realized the truth by himself.

What Xue Wanche asked him to talk about, it seems that Danyang sent someone to trick him here under the guise of Xue Wanche. It is estimated that he was invited to Xue's residence today, and Danyang took the opportunity to plan this matter.

"Why?"

Qin Lang stood there and asked.

Dan Yang in Wei Wei sat up and lightly brushed his full head of hair.

"Why? I've always wanted to ask why, why would you rather marry four-year-old Changle than reject me?"

Qin Lang crossed his hands and bowed, "Your Highness, this is neither a time for discussion nor a place for conversation, so let me take my leave first!"

"you dare!"

Danyang tore open the curtain, and then only heard a hiss, the princess tore her little blouse, "Qin Sanlang, if you dare to take a step back now, I will yell molestation, and your whole family will be fine by then." Don't argue!"

Qin Lang saw the big white snow exposed by the eldest princess, so he quickly lowered his head, he really met a tough guy today, damn it.

"Why the princess?"

"You answer my question first!"

"Actually, I rejected the eldest princess at the beginning, not because of anything else, but because I haven't thought about getting married yet."

"Liar, then why did you accept Changle's gift of marriage?"

"Actually, I didn't accept Changle's marriage offer. I was deceived by His Majesty, who said it was a fake engagement..."

But it was obvious that the eldest princess did not believe these words, she sneered a few times, and tore off a sleeve with a hiss, "Make up, you continue to make up, if you make up such clumsy lies again, I will really cry!" !"

"I really didn't deceive the eldest princess, but I was also deceived by His Majesty, but now I can't get off the horse, I can't advance or retreat."

"Princess, this is really not the place or time to talk, please let me leave first, what's the matter, can we talk about it next time?"

If people really want to find out, Qin Lang really has a thousand mouths and can't speak clearly.

"You promise to do one thing for me before I let you go, otherwise, Chang'an will be full of storms today!" The princess's eyes showed a ruthless look.

Qin Lang was really scared, "Princess, please tell me!"

"You, Qin Sanlang, are now His Majesty's favorite minister, in charge of the Zhen Fusi. I want you to investigate Xue Wanche?"

"Check Consort Xue? What's the matter with Consort Xue?"

"I don't care if he's okay or not. I want to divorce him. You find him to find out his problems. If you can't find them, just blame him. I need a reason for divorce!"

Hearing these words, Qin Lang couldn't help but feel his scalp go numb. It's really scary for this woman to go crazy.

It was a one-night couple and a hundred days of grace, but Danyang obviously didn't regard Xue Wanche as her husband at all, and only thought about how to dump him.

At this moment, voices suddenly came from outside!
