White Moonlight of Powerful Officials at large

Chapter 69 Love
Wen Ning was in a daze for a moment.

Her mind was full of Wen Tingchun, it was the dust-cleaning banquet being held in the imperial palace, when she first heard "Princess Showa", she was in a daze.

But she still remembered that if she wanted to enter the palace, her current attire would be extremely inappropriate. She saluted and said to go in and change clothes, but the father-in-law stopped her.

"The princess said that she just invited the girl into the palace to talk about the family life. It's getting late now, so the girl doesn't need to bother about dressing up."

Then he bowed and asked Wen Ning to get on the carriage.

Seeing this, Butler Qin turned around and wanted to call Shang Linglan.

The father-in-law was obviously very good at observing words and expressions, and he knew what he was going to do at a glance, and said: "The princess only invited Miss Wen, please rest assured, our family will take good care of the girl and return it to Zhao."

Wen Ning turned her head to look at Wen Fu, nodded to Butler Qin, and got into the carriage.

After the initial bewilderment, Wen Ning actually realized why Princess Zhaohe was looking for her.

Because in her previous life, she also looked for her.

Mostly because of Pei You.

Wen Ning sat in the carriage, put aside her worries about Wen Tingchun for the time being, and put her mind on Princess Zhaohe's side.

In her previous life, Princess Showa looked for her a year later.At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Emperor Jiahe intended to marry Pei You and her, but Pei You declined in court, which made Emperor Jiahe, who had always favored him, almost want to punish him.

After a few months of dealing with it, one day, Princess Showa suddenly came to her.

Instead of announcing her into the palace like today, he personally found the courtyard where she was.

It was the first time she saw Princess Showa, who was over twenty years old, but still looked like a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a complicated palace attire, looking graceful and luxurious.

When she sat down, she turned her head to look at her: "Are you Pei You's favorite woman?"

At that time, she had already dealt with Zhao Xizhi several times, and she knew the eyes of unruly and willful people when they looked at their rivals, and when she looked at Princess Showa, she knew that there was no jealousy in her eyes, but more curiosity.

In the previous life, the marriage bestowed by Emperor Jiahe was unsuccessful, and it was not mentioned again in the end, and Princess Showa did not have more entanglements.

Later she met her twice, but at that time she was already "Mrs. Pei".

Wen Ning pondered, at this time in her previous life, she and Pei You hadn't had much interaction, so Princess Zhaohe couldn't find her.

But in this life, Pei You has never met "Xiaoya". She clearly saw him having a private meeting with Princess Zhaohe at the last New Year's Eve banquet. The mansion expelled her from the mansion to threaten her.

I don't know if Pei You and Princess Zhaohe have anything in this life.

Why did Princess Zhaohe recruit her, a woman who "admired Pei You", into the palace.

The father-in-law who came to pass the message claimed to be surnamed Li, and when the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, he led Wen Ning into the palace sedan chair again.

When walking outside the Qingyi Hall, Wen Ning could faintly hear the sound of silk and bamboo coming from it.

The Qingyi Hall has always been used to entertain foreign guests, and the Ryukyu prince's cleansing banquet must have been held in it.

But the sedan chair didn't stop for a moment, and continued to carry Wen Ning forward. Not long after, she arrived in front of a palace. Wen Ning raised her head, and there were three words on the gilded plaque - "Chaolu Palace".
-
In the hall of Qingyi, silk and bamboo bursts, and dances and music don't stop.

As Wen Ning expected, the cleansing feast for Prince Ryukyu was here.

At this time, the banquet was at its climax, cups were being exchanged, and there was constant laughter between cups and cups. Both Jiahe and the Emperor were listening to that Wang Ziyi telling some interesting things about Ryukyu with a smile on his face.

Although the ministers in the next seat also laughed, but in the blink of an eye, there was disdain for disdain, contempt for contempt.

This Ryukyu is indeed a small country.A prince whose demeanor is not even as good as the son of a wealthy family like them.

Not understanding etiquette, not being ashamed, to openly bring a brothel girl to the palace to accompany her around.

It's just that their majesty has a good temper, tolerates his nonsense, and listens so patiently to him talking about sesame and mung beans.

But contempt is contempt, Dayin's great country demeanor cannot be lost, he has been a guest from afar, and there are not a few officials who toast Wang Ziyi.

In the lively banquet, there was only one corner that was relatively deserted.

Pei You's official rank is not high, but he was the only one present in the Duke's mansion, and he was sitting where Duke Pei should have been sitting.

Right in the front row.

It stands to reason that those who sit in this position will come to flatter and toast.But after Pei You was promoted, his style was domineering. When the young princes saw that he even dared to join his fathers, who would dare to call him brothers?It would be a disaster if someone made a mistake and was reported to the imperial court.

As for the older officials, this son is in the limelight, and he is young. He is at an age that does not know the heights of heaven and earth. He even has the highest peak on his own head. It is better for them not to dangle in front of him.

So halfway through the banquet, Pei You was still sitting at the table drinking by himself, and no one came to chat.

In the palace, no one could hold a knife, and no one would openly bring the guards of the house, so tonight it was Wang Qinsheng who accompanied Pei You.

He didn't feel that his young master was left out in the cold. It would be better if he drank less alcohol. The attendants of the Prince of Ryukyu were obviously prepared to drink. He watched several ministers get dizzy from drinking, and was helped down to sober up and rest. up.

But he felt that something was wrong with his young master tonight, and he seemed to be staring at it with great interest...

Is it the Ryukyu prince, or the beautiful girl Jiao'e next to the prince?

So it turns out... his young master likes this?

Wang Qinsheng looked at the woman's neckline which was still low to her chest in winter, and was flushed with embarrassment at that white chest.

"Young master." Wang Qinsheng blushed and took a step forward, blocking Pei You's sight, "Shall we go outside for a walk?"

It doesn't look like a serious woman at first glance, don't look at it!
The female relatives next door are gone, and they went to the garden to see it. If you want to see it, go and see it with a lady!
However, Pei You stretched out a hand and directly pushed him away, his eyes still staring at the direction of the female Jiao'e: "You go to the gate of the palace and wait for me."

"My lord!" Wang Qinsheng called out helplessly.

Pei You's eyes fell on his face: "Qin Sheng, do you still remember that I am a son?"

The faint coolness, obviously displeased.

Wang Qinsheng Nuonuo lowered his head and got out of the way.

"Go." Pei You waved his hand, "Go and get the carriage ready."

Wang Qinsheng had no choice but to look back at the woman who was stuck in the arms of Prince Ryukyu in public, and stomped away.

After Wang Qinsheng left, Pei You's eyes kept falling on Prince Ryukyu's side.

Interesting.

He asked Tu Bai to investigate, but nothing was found, but he saw Yingyao in the palace.

The Wang Ziyi who came to Dayin was famous for being absurd and unruly when he was in Ryukyu, so he was not loved by the Ryukyu monarch.

On the first day he came to Beijing, he went to Tianxiang Pavilion. Yingyao was the top card in Tianxiang Pavilion. It is not unusual for him to find her, and it is not unusual for him to bring her into the palace in a grand manner.

What is strange is that Yingyao.

Yingyao brought a jug of wine herself, and Wang Ziyi has been drinking the wine from her jug ​​since the banquet began.

She either blocked or stopped him, as if she was determined not to let him drink a drop of the wine in the palace.

But this abacus has been somewhat neglected.

The wine was very prosperous tonight, Wang Ziyi was in her arms, and she drank even more happily, Yingyao's pot of wine was about to bottom out.

Holding the wine cup, Pei You walked towards Wang Ziyi.
-
Wen Ning sat a little cautiously in the seat of His Highness the Lord of the Chaolu Palace.

Even in her previous life, when she entered the palace, she only participated in banquets, and never really entered the palace where the royal family lived.

At first sight of this resplendent and resplendent place, it is hard to avoid feeling cramped while being surprised.

"Please come in girl."

After a while, a nun led her into the inner hall.

The Chaolu Palace was given to Princess Showa since she was born. The main hall is resplendent and magnificent, and the inner hall is not much less.

Princess Zhaohe's full name is Chu Mingyue. It is said that because of the night of her birth, Emperor Jiahe was away in person, and the empress gave birth alone, accompanied only by a bright moon.

And Emperor Jiahe was far away in the north, looking at the same bright moon that night, missing the queen and the unborn child.After returning to the palace, the princess was given the title of "Showa" and named "Mingyue".

As soon as Wen Ning entered, she saw Princess Zhaohe sitting barefoot on a low couch, fiddling with a branch of peach blossom on the table. When she saw Wen Ning coming in, she frowned slightly: "Come on, come and sit here."

Wen Ning was about to salute, but she said again: "Don't be too polite, come here quickly."

Wen Ning had no choice but to hastily leaned over and walked over.

Princess Showa is not much different from her appearance when she first met her in her previous life, but the way she looks at her is not curious and probing, but rather accommodating and intimate.

"I heard that you love Prince Pei, don't you?" Princess Showa's brown pupils shone brightly, "Then do you know that Prince Pei is engaged and has an unmarried wife? Have you met her?"
-
"I have heard for a long time that the Ryukyu spring bath can strengthen the body and prolong life. I have not had the opportunity to try it myself. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will thank the prince for reception."

Pei You held up a lamp in front of Wang Ziyi, slightly curling the corners of her lips with a warm expression.

The prince of the Duke's Mansion, who is used to being deserted, took the initiative to chat, and many people looked sideways.

Wang Ziyi also felt flattered.

Although he still can't know all the officials, those who sit in the front row must be noble.Before that, he watched the audience stand still alone, and secretly speculated about the identity of the other party.

Yingyao has been in the romantic place, and the rich and powerful in the capital are like treasures. Even though Pei You has never been to Tianxiang Pavilion, how could she not know such a popular young man who is often at the top of the capital's topic list?
She immediately approached Wang Ziyi's ear with a smile and said his identity and name.

Wang Ziyi was even more satisfied with her, and squeezed her waist affectionately.

"The day Mr. Pei sets foot in Ryukyu, Yi will welcome you!" Wang Ziyi spoke suffocated Chinese, raised the empty wine glass to Yingyao, and signaled her to pour the wine.

Yingyao bent her wrist, her face changed.

The jug is empty.

There was a flickering smile in Pei You's eyes: "Girl, you might as well go to the desk to get wine."

Yingyao squeezed the ear handle of the flagon tightly. Wen Ning said that someone at the banquet waited for an opportunity to poison him. If it was true, the poison would be in the wine on the table. Wine, how can you get rid of it?
She moved her lips, wanting to say something, but Pei Shizi's eyes were dark and bright, staring at her deeply, as if he could see through no matter what she said.

Yingyao's face became paler, even Wang Ziyi noticed the abnormality, pinched her waist and said: "Yaoyao, go get the wine."

"It turns out that Prince Pei is also interested in Ryukyu spring baths. I wonder if Wen Qi is lucky enough to go with him someday."

When Yingyao was flustered and didn't know what to do, a young man in green shirt suddenly came, and while speaking, he tilted the wine pot in his hand, filled Wang Ziyi's wine glass, poured another glass for himself, and handed the wine pot to Ying Yao: " This wine is wonderful, you might as well give the prince a try."

He dared to drink himself, and there would be no problem with alcohol.

Ying Yao immediately took the whole pot of wine.

Pei You narrowed her eyes slightly, Wen Qi came to the rescue, it seems that Wen Ning went to Tianxiang Pavilion to find Yingyao for this purpose.

Ying Yao watched the three men drink up the wine in their respective hands, returned to their respective desks, stared at Wang Ziyi for a long time, and felt relieved when she saw that he was no different.

On the other side, Wen Qi sat down and also stared at Wang Ziyi.

Wen Ning didn't mention Yingyao's matter to her, but the jug of wine in Yingyao's hand was exactly what Wen Ning asked him to take a few days ago.The jug was fired by him himself, so there is no mistake.

Seeing that Yingyao has never allowed Wang Ziyi to touch any wine other than the flagon, she has some calculations in her heart.

Seeing that her jug ​​was empty just now, he took his own wine and went over.

It's just that Prince Pei, I don't know if it's a coincidence or...

Wen Qi looked up at Pei You, who was also looking at him.

The eyes are floating and sinking, unable to see the depth.

The two raised their glasses politely and drank another glass of wine together.

Honglu Temple, that is, Wen Tingchun, is in full charge of today's cleansing banquet.

I don't know what the two brothers and sisters did so hard.

Pei You thought so while drinking.

It's just that after drinking, the tip of the tongue is filled with an unusual taste.

Pei You frowned.

　I'm going to spill blood, hahahaha
