"Where did this woman come from?" Pei Yuanjun interrupted Pei Yusheng's words in a low voice.
"This is a dancer in my mansion. She was a good dancer in the past, so the princess made her the lead dancer." Pei Yusheng was stunned for a moment, looked at Pei Yuanjun with a strange expression, and told the truth.
Although the geishas were extremely beautiful, they were only extremely beautiful. The Queen had given many of them to the King of England as palace maids, all of whom were carefully selected and each one was attractive.
Even though the girls sent to him were all beautiful women, Pei Yuanjun never paid any attention to them, nor did he give face to the Queen. He just threw them out. If they talked back, they would not be spared. It can be said that he had no mercy on women and was ruthless. This was why Pei Yusheng never thought that such a geisha would impress Pei Yuanjun.
Could it be that Pei Yuanjun really had something on his mind? Was it because of the matter of Princess Ying? Even if you plant flowers intentionally, they won't bloom, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will grow into shade trees
Pei Yusheng's mind was full of thoughts. He quickly calmed down and said in a serious tone, "This geisha has never had such a thing happen to her before. She is very calm. I don't know what happened to her today. She was so rude in front of Uncle Wang. I will ask her to apologize to Uncle Wang later. Uncle Wang can do whatever he wants with her."
Pei Yuanjun nodded without comment.
Is this really interesting? Pei Yusheng was shocked, but he didn't stop talking: "Uncle Wang, do you want to change clothes?"
When Pei Yuanjun pushed the wine cup in his hand away, two drops of wine inevitably got on his robe.
Pei Yuanjun stood up without comment. Pei Yusheng winked at the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch hurriedly nodded and bowed to lead Pei Yuanjun to change clothes.
There is a yard next to the outer hall, where some men's clothes are prepared. They are all new and can be changed when distinguished guests need them.
That was the place the eunuch led Pei Yuanjun to.
Pei Yusheng watched Pei Yuanjun leave, thinking, is this really going to happen? This happened so fast that he couldn't see through it...
A maid came in hurriedly: "My Lord, the princess invites you over."
"I am entertaining the King of England." Pei Yusheng waved his sleeves unhappily and said, thinking that Liu Lanxin had no good taste. Was it right for her, a concubine, to disturb him at this time
"Your Highness, the princess is in a courtyard nearby. She said she has something important to tell you." The old woman said with a smile.
"The princess is not in the inner courtyard? When did she come out?" Pei Yusheng asked, walking out.
The old woman hurriedly followed: "The princess just happened to walk here. She heard that the prince was hosting a banquet for the King of England today. The princess was worried that the wine and food were not prepared properly, so she came here to supervise them, fearing that the servants would slack off and ruin the prince's business."
Pei Yusheng nodded and his expression looked better. It seemed that Princess Liu Lanxin was satisfactory in this respect.
This courtyard and the courtyard that Pei Yuanjun had just been to were on the left and right sides of this hall. When Pei Yusheng got outside the door, he looked at the courtyard that Pei Yuanjun had been to. There was no movement at this time, so he walked in another direction. There was also a small courtyard there.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Liu Lanxin sitting on a stone bench under a tree in the yard.
Seeing him come in, Liu Lanxin stood up and walked forward to greet him: "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"What's the matter?" Pei Yusheng stood with his hands behind his back and asked.
Liu Lanxin waved her hand, and all the servants retreated, leaving only the couple in the yard.
"Your Highness, did you see the dancer just now?" Liu Lanxin asked with a frown.
"I saw it." Pei Yusheng nodded and glanced at her, not understanding why there was a fuss about such a thing. "Something happened just now. I almost fell on the King of England. I don't know what happened."
"This... I don't know. I only found out about this when I came here. I think... could it be that the King of England has chosen someone?" Liu Lanxin was very uneasy and bit her lip. "Will the prince have any misfortune? I... always feel uneasy."
"What kind of trouble could it be? Don't talk nonsense. It's just a woman's matter. Even if... it's just a woman." Pei Yusheng expressed his dissatisfaction with Liu Lanxin's fuss. As a prince, he had seen all kinds of women. There were also many sent from other places in the mansion. If he liked them, he would keep them, and if he didn't like them, he could give them away as a reward.
For him, it's really not a big deal.
"I heard that the King of England is not interested in women. If the Emperor blames Your Highness because of what happened today... what should I do?" Liu Lanxin was still uneasy and looked a little panicked.
"Whether he likes her or not, what does it have to do with me? I didn't send the woman to his house. He came to my house and chose someone. I can't stop him from taking her away. After all, he is my uncle. Even if my father knew about it, he wouldn't blame me. He might even think that I can do the job."
Pei Yusheng said disapprovingly.
When he heard this, his heart moved. It was obvious that the previous affairs of the Princess of England had displeased his father. It was heard that his father did not agree with the woman from the Qu Mansion to become the principal wife of the Prince of England. Later, it was just a coincidence, and her fate was really good, so the King of England married her.
If the King of England no longer likes her, or favors someone else, it is hard to say what will happen to the Princess of England from the Qu Mansion next.
"But this... this is someone from our house." Liu Lanxin looked worried.
"So what if they are from our house!" Pei Yusheng swung his sleeves unhappily. "Go back to the inner courtyard. I will take charge of the affairs here. I will inform you later."
"I am worried..."
"You don't have to worry. It's enough that I'm the one who worries." Pei Yusheng said unhappily and walked out. He didn't know what was going on with the matter.
But no matter what, it has nothing to do with him. It was Pei Yuanjun who came to him on his own initiative.
If this dancer could really come to Pei Yuanjun's side, it would be of some benefit to Prince Jing's Mansion. Even if Pei Yuanjun didn't care about anything else, he should remember the merit of offering his daughter and treat him leniently in the future. For outsiders, being able to let Pei Yuanjun accept someone from his mansion represented the closeness between them and Pei Yuanjun.
The prince tried every means to get close to Pei Yuanjun, but he didn't expect that he would get there first.
Pei Yusheng was very satisfied with this. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that this matter would only benefit him and not cause any harm. Even if Pei Yuanjun did not think highly of it, it would not have much impact on him. He would just feel a little disappointed.
Pei Yusheng was walking and thinking, and didn't notice that behind him, his princess had a strange smile on her face...
In the other yard, Pei Yuanjun was sitting in a large armchair drinking tea, his clothes still the same as before. Standing in front of him was Tong Yuzhen, also wearing the same dance costume as before, exuding a seductive aura.
That was not the dance costume of an ordinary lady from a noble family. Compared with ordinary clothes, it used much less material and was much more flowing. Even though Tong Yuzhen's appearance had always been dignified and beautiful, at this moment, there was a bit more charm in her. Her face was slightly flushed, and she looked at Pei Yuanjun excitedly, with tears falling from her eyes.
"Your Majesty..."
A eunuch stood in front of Pei Yuanjun, blocking Tong Yuzhen from approaching.
"Why don't you kneel down when you see our prince?" the eunuch shouted sharply and stepped forward to block Tong Yuzhen who was walking towards Pei Yuanjun.
"Your Highness... don't... don't you recognize my daughter?" Tong Yuzhen was pulled back, looking at Pei Yuanjun with tears in her eyes.
After Pei Yuanjun looked her up and down for a few times, he frowned, leaned back, and closed his eyes slightly.
"Where are you from, girl? How dare you ask His Highness this? It looks like... this is another imitation from somewhere?" The eunuch took another step forward, forcing Tong Yuzhen to take another step back.
Then he looked at the eunuch in disbelief, "You...what did you say?"
"You were invited by Prince Jing, right? I don't know how many talents were selected... Are you planning to send this to our prince again? Our prince dislikes this kind of imitation the most. Considering that you are from Prince Jing's mansion, why don't you retreat?"
The eunuch smiled sarcastically and looked at her as if she were garbage.
Tong Yuzhen's face flushed red, she was filled with shame and embarrassment. Even after she escaped, she had never felt so embarrassed. She was actually looked down upon by a servant.
"I am not ..."
"You were not invited by Prince Jing? Could it be that you were invited by Princess Jing? Our prince really cannot afford the kindness from your Palace of Prince Jing. You know that our prince doesn't like this kind of fake, but you still try to hurt his heart." The eunuch said loudly.
"Drag her out and give her ten hard beatings." Pei Yuanjun closed his eyes and spoke slowly.
“Your Highness…” Tong Yuzhen was startled and said loudly. She had managed to sneak in with great difficulty, but it wasn’t just for her to say such a sentence.
She is not anyone's substitute, she is Tong Yuzhen, and she came to find Pei Yuanjun.
There was affection in his eyes and tears fell one after another. How many men in the world could bear to be with such a beautiful woman, so pretty and so pitiful
But the King of England in front of him was obviously not one of them. He just closed his eyes and was not moved at all.
The eunuch called two guards and took Tong Yuzhen out.
Tong Yuzhen tried to struggle and turned around to rush over, shouting, "Prince, I am... Yuzhen, I am Yuzhen."
After all, I didn't dare to utter the word "child".
After she cried out twice, the handkerchief in her hand was snatched away and stuffed into her mouth. She began to sob and could make no other sound.
The person was dragged outside and immediately beaten with a stick.
Pei Yuanjun's men did it themselves, and they were merciless. They knocked the man unconscious with just two blows, and after a few more blows, he was already covered in blood.
Pei Yuanjun walked out and passed by the dying Tong Yuzhen gracefully. The corners of his delicate lips curled up, and there was a sinister look in his eyes. If his princess had not warned him earlier, it would not be a matter of ten strokes of the cane, he would have just been beaten to death.
He actually dared to look at him so stickily. He didn't need to keep his eyes. As for the Prince Jing's Mansion, he certainly didn't intend to let it go...
