Pei Yusheng had already received the news and knew that the geisha had been beaten. Although he lamented that it was a pity for such a beautiful girl, Pei Yuanjun was really so cruel that he didn't even have mercy on this beauty. No wonder his father agreed to the marriage. His father didn't take into account that the Princess of England's status at the time was a little low, and that she was the daughter of an orphan with no one to teach her.
"Uncle Wang." Seeing Pei Yuanjun coming, Pei Yusheng hurried forward.
Pei Yuanjun looked at him expressionlessly and sat down in the middle seat.
"Uncle Wang, that dancer offended you and should be severely punished. The princess will give her a good lesson later." Pei Yusheng said with a smile. Sensing the solemn atmosphere around Pei Yuanjun, he dared not say anything else and could only go along with what he wished.
"Where did the dancer come from?" Pei Yuanjun asked. His eyelashes were very long and his eyes looked deeper than those of ordinary people. If he had a cold face when he was in a bad mood, it would give people a weird feeling, and even some bloody and dark aura that made people dare not look directly at him.
Pei Yusheng lowered his head and said, "She is the lead dancer in the mansion and has been here for a while."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "She was selected by the princess, who said she was the best in both appearance and talent."
"Princess Jing's people?" Pei Yuanjun raised his eyebrows.
"This... No, the princess picked her out from the geishas. She usually looks good, but I didn't expect her to do something so rude today. Uncle, please calm down. I will let the princess punish her severely for this matter." Pei Yusheng now feels that Liu Lanxin really didn't handle this matter well.
When choosing a lead dancer, it is not only necessary to have good looks but also good behavior.
In this way, he actually bumped into Pei Yuanjun, which not only displeased Pei Yuanjun, but also made Pei Yuanjun angry. He used to think that this matter would only benefit him and not harm him, but now seeing Pei Yuanjun sitting there with a sinister look, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
"A little geisha actually fell down in front of me. I have never encountered such a thing before." Pei Yuanjun said coldly, "Prince Jing's Mansion... is not as good as before."
Pei Yuanjun had always been at the border, and was rarely seen when he returned to Beijing. When Pei Yusheng occasionally visited his house, he would not arrange singing and dancing.
Whether it was the Eastern Palace or Prince Jing's Mansion, there were no official concubines at that time. These matters were arranged by the steward, who did not dare to do such a thankless task. After all, it was heard that this prince was a cold-hearted man and would not show mercy to any woman no matter what kind of woman was sent to him.
Even the Queen's people lost their lives, so the people they were sending here might lose their lives before they even reach them.
It’s better to be well behaved and not come forward.
Therefore, in the past, when Pei Yuanjun occasionally went to Prince Jing's Mansion, it was peaceful and no one would disturb him too much.
"Uncle Wang, it's my fault!" Pei Yusheng said hurriedly. He couldn't help but take the blame. He regretted it very much now. Why did he send the person over at that time? Otherwise, nothing would have happened.
Did I guess Pei Yuanjun's thoughts wrong
"If the Queen knew that Prince Jing had prepared such dancers for me, she might talk to Prince Jing and would definitely ask him to find more such beautiful and courageous women to enter the palace." Pei Yuanjun said coldly.
"Uncle Wang, I dare not!" The hairs on Pei Yusheng's back stood up. The Queen and the Crown Prince were looking for trouble with them everywhere, and they did the same.
Whoever gets the chance will suppress the other. If the Queen knows about this opportunity, it will definitely lead to some new things.
His mother has not been as good as before recently, and has repeatedly reminded him not to cause any more trouble at this time.
"Uncle Wang, I really didn't mean it. Don't worry, I will not let this dancer off easily for offending you like this. I will go and deal with her now." Pei Yusheng had to express his opinion. He gritted his teeth and hated that he had no strength now and had to be humble.
When he gets the power, no one will be able to stand up to him...
"This matter... I don't want to make a fuss, but we can't just let it go. If it was in my palace, such a woman would have been dealt with long ago. But this is Prince Jing's palace, and I'm giving Prince Jing this face. There's no need to make a big fuss about it."
Pei Yuanjun said lazily.
This sentence made Pei Yusheng's heart, which had been lifted high, fall heavily. At least Pei Yuanjun was not standing with Pei Luoan, and he even showed some intention of getting closer to him.
Otherwise, he would not let me off this time and might even report the matter to the Queen Mother.
By then, you might end up having to bear the consequences.
"Thank you, Uncle Wang... Thank you, Uncle Wang." Pei Yusheng was very excited.
"I am also tired. It is time for me to leave." Pei Yuanjun stood up and walked out.
"Your nephew will see Uncle Wang off." Pei Yusheng hurriedly followed behind to see him off. He had no other thoughts at this moment. He no longer had any intention of sending his people to the Prince of Ying's palace. He just hoped that this matter would pass quietly.
He sent Pei Yuanjun to the gate of the mansion, bowed deeply as a greeting, and waited until Pei Yuanjun got on the carriage before he raised his head and looked in the direction where the carriage of the King of England's mansion was leaving.
Then he turned around and strode back to the mansion. This matter had not been dealt with yet, so he had to warn Liu Lanxin to prevent her from causing any more trouble.
I just thought about it carefully. If this matter has nothing to do with Liu Lanxin, how could she appear in the front yard by such a coincidence? What's even more coincidental is that something happened to the geisha at that time.
Liu Lanxin was still in that small courtyard, having tea, fruits brought to her, waiting for good news.
Suddenly, I heard a scream from a woman outside. The teacup in my hand trembled involuntarily, and some tea spilled on me. Fortunately, the tea was not hot. Even so, I had to stand up and shake my dress.
"Princess, someone over there... was beaten." When the old woman who was outside asking for information came in, her face was pale and trembling.
She only took a glance and saw that the woman was already bleeding. It was only a few hits. When the mansion was caning, ten hits would not have made such a big noise.
"Being beaten?" Liu Lanxin was stunned. "What happened?"
"I don't know either. The prince's people told me not to go there again. If I offend His Royal Highness the King of England, I will be in big trouble." The old woman said tremblingly.
Liu Lanxin sat down again, frowning.
The maid squatted down to help her tidy up the dress that had just been splashed.
With the warning from King Jing's men, Liu Lanxin didn't dare send anyone out even if she wanted to check on the progress of the matter. Originally, she wanted to express that she didn't know about this matter and couldn't intervene more at this time. Tong Yuzhen had brought this upon herself, and inexplicably she felt that everything should be as it was.
My heart is filled with ups and downs, I can't describe how I feel.
It's a pity, a little ridiculous, and there are some indescribable and incomprehensible feelings, all five flavors...
"Your Highness." The voice of the old woman guarding outside pulled Liu Lanxin back from her thoughts, and she stood up and went out to greet him.
Pei Yusheng came in angrily and shouted, "What did the princess do?"
"Your Highness... I don't know what I did wrong?" Liu Lanxin was stunned.
"Such a big thing has happened even though the princess doesn't know about it. Would things be even worse if she knew?" Pei Yusheng snorted coldly.
He waved his sleeves and said, "Princess, please deal with the matter of the dancer properly, and tidy up this palace properly to prevent such incidents from happening again in the future."
If the geisha could hook up with Pei Yuanjun this time, Pei Yusheng would be very happy to see it happen. Now that the hookup failed and Pei Yuanjun was annoyed instead, Pei Yusheng felt that Liu Lanxin was not a good person. Knowing that Pei Yuanjun was not interested in women and did not sympathize with them, she should not have made such a fuss.
Now I am in a difficult situation.
"Your Highness, just now... was it the King of England who was angry?" Liu Lanxin bit her lip and suppressed the anger in her heart. Why was this blamed on her? It was not her intention to rush to Pei Yuanjun.
Besides, when the geisha got into trouble, the one who sent the person over was King Jing himself, so how could it be her business again
Didn’t Tong Yuzhen say that the King of England loved her deeply? Why has he become like this now
"I was almost implicated by you. Don't do anything like this again. Otherwise, even I... can't protect you." Pei Yusheng warned, then turned around and strode away.
Liu Lanxin's face turned red after being scolded. She wanted to explain that the person was gone, but she just stomped her feet in hatred. This was what she called an unexpected disaster.
"Princess..."
"Go, bring her here. This princess wants to take a good look at this geisha." Liu Lanxin said almost gritting her teeth.
The course of events was completely different from what she had imagined. She still hadn't figured out what had happened. Didn't they say that the King of England was interested in this geisha? How did they end up like this in just a short while? Was it all her fault
It was obvious that Tong Yuzhen had too high an opinion of herself, and thought of herself as a fairy from heaven. She thought that as soon as she showed up, the King of England would take her away obediently and bring her into the King's Palace, where she would live a pampered life from then on.
"It's true that a horse doesn't know how long its face is." Liu Lanxin spat and turned to walk towards the main wife. She wanted to ask this former most beautiful woman why she couldn't even win over the King of England who was "deeply in love" and "unrepentant in love" with her, and instead made everyone embarrassed.
Tong Yuzhen was brought over, sweating and bleeding, her hair was messy like dead grass, and she looked in a miserable state.
Looking at Tong Yuzhen lying on the ground, unable to get up, Liu Lanxin sneered calmly, waved his hand, and all the servants retreated.
She had to get to the bottom of this matter. Things were not at all the same as she had imagined. What went wrong
"Miss Zhen, I helped you according to your words. Even if you used your own methods to sneak in, I also made it easy for you. But what's wrong with you? Doesn't the King of England like you? Or have you been self-indulgent for so many years? Now... It really makes me feel that I have wasted several years of effort..."
Liu Lanxin picked up the handkerchief and pressed it to the corner of her lips, then looked at Tong Yuzhen slowly and curled her lips in sarcasm.
She couldn't do it at first, so Tong Yuzhen thought she could do it? At first, it was Tong Yuzhen who laughed at her, and now it's her who laughs at Tong Yuzhen.
"Wrong... all wrong... wrong!" Tong Yuzhen pressed her fingers tightly to the ground in pain, and her words almost came out of her mouth...
