Donggong Zhangjiao

Chapter 21 How Can You Not Hate
on the carriage.

Pei Yao was sitting in the middle, leaning back slightly on the pillow, looking a bit lazy and casual, looking at Fang Yun who was sitting beside him with a half-smile.

"Is that how you hate her?"

"Blood and deep hatred, irreconcilable forces."

Fang Yun lowered his eyes and said calmly.

Unexpectedly, she would say such a heavy sentence, Pei Yao squinted his eyes, as if he didn't believe it.

"Really?"

When he asked back, Fang Yun slowly raised his eyes, looked at him firmly, and said word by word.

"It doesn't matter in the past, when she was ten years old, her mother Zhao framed her and killed my mother, and I have been alone since then."

"In early spring when I was 11, she wanted me to catch butterflies, but when I didn't find them, she ordered someone to push me into the frozen lake. I almost drowned, and I fell ill due to the cold, and almost died."

"At the age of 12, Zhao's cousin came to stay at the house for a while and praised the beauty of my eyes. She was jealous and scratched my face."

"At the age of 13, she falsely accused me of stealing her jewelry. My father used family law and almost beat me to death."

"At the age of 14, the master who taught her female reds praised me for my good embroidery and high talent. She trampled on my hands and hurt my muscles and bones. I took care of it for half a year."

"At the age of 15, Zhao's cousin wanted to take me as a concubine. She planned to use medicine on me, which almost made me lose my innocence."

"At the age of 16, I went out of the city with her to pray for blessings in a temple in the suburbs of Beijing. I ran into the prince of Dingbei Hou. The prince praised me for being beautiful. She was dissatisfied. When she returned home, she deliberately left me and asked me to walk back to Fangfu on foot. Hei, I met a robber and nearly died, but she bit me back, saying that I was not a woman, and I was punished by my father's family law again."

"At the age of 17, she and her father wanted to cling to the eldest prince, so they pushed me out and sent me to Your Highness."

When he said this, Fang Yun couldn't restrain his emotions, his eyes were red, he clenched his fists, his voice trembled a little because of the suppressed anger.

"All these things are just one of the things I have experienced in Fang's family these years. May I ask Your Highness, how can I not hate myself?"

Of course she thought about resisting, but the number of times she succeeded was only two or three out of ten.

In the huge Fang Mansion, apart from Qing Rong, no one would sympathize with her, let alone stand by her side.

If you want to add guilt, there is nothing to worry about.

They hated her from the very beginning, and naturally they would not give her a chance to defend themselves when something happened. At the beginning, Fang Yun tried hard to argue, but after finding out that everyone didn't care about every word she said, he could only concentrate on it. All spent on keeping these things from happening.

Because she knew that once it happened, she would have no room to fight.

Pei Yao looked at the woman in front of him sharply, as if he was verifying the authenticity of what Fang Yun said.

The suppressed hatred in those eyes really couldn't be acted out.

So he withdrew his gaze, and Pei Yao gently pushed the teacup in front of Fang Yun.

"That being the case, when you come to Gu's side, you can make good use of this identity and do what you want to do, but you have to do what Gu wants you to do."

Pei Yao's tone faltered slightly, and he focused on the second half of the sentence.

Meeting his eyes, Fang Yun felt an invisible pressure all over her body, which made her feel awed and dared not move rashly.

Probably this is the prestige of a superior that Pei Yao has cultivated in the past [-] years as the crown prince.

"His Royal Highness is the only reliance of the concubine, and the concubine shall put His Highness first in all affairs."

Fang Yun responded in a low voice, and lowered his eyes, showing a submissive look.

Seeing this, Pei Yao's expression softened, and he patted her hand with a slight smile.

Then there was nothing to say.

On the other side, in Fang Pei's carriage, she was cursing angrily.

"This bastard, after entering the Eastern Palace, he really thought that he was climbing a high branch. He was just a pawn to suffer for me. He thought that he had fallen into the nest of fortune. He dared to plot against me. What is it? You don’t even deserve to carry my shoes!”

"The side concubine should calm down, it's not worth it to lose her body because of such popularity." Lanzhi, the close maid, hastily comforted her, "She's just a fascination for a while, something with shallow eyelids, and when she suffers in the future, the prince can still Can you really pet her? This servant just looked at it, it was just a fit of momentum, and she went down towards our highness."

Fang Pei snorted coldly, "Some people don't look like princes in dragon robes. If it weren't for good luck, the former emperor happened to be seriously ill and had no heirs, how could it be the turn of a child born to such a lowly woman to be the prince."

At that time, Pei Yao's biological mother was only a fourth-rank Lingyi, and she was promoted to concubine after she gave birth to him. The posthumous imperial concubine was really not considered noble.

Even so, this cannot be said out loud.

Lanzhi was so frightened that she immediately asked Fang Pei to keep her voice low.

"Your maidservant knows that the side concubine is angry, but when you go out, be careful that the walls have ears. Your highness has already been annoyed just now. If the side concubine's words are careless and cause trouble again, I'm afraid it will make our highness even more unhappy."

It was only when the eldest prince was mentioned that Fang Pei restrained his anger.

But my heart is still angry.

"It's still a long time on the road, I'll take care of Fang Yun's cheap hoof slowly!"

Lanzhi nodded, and hurriedly offered a cup of tea to distract her master's attention.

Not long after, everyone arrived at the place where the banquet was held.

This should be a private garden, the construction is very unique, and the layout is also very careful.

After getting out of the carriage, a servant girl would guide them with a lantern, and lead them all the way to the banquet hall. On both sides of the road paved with bluestone slabs, there were wooden platforms with lanterns on them, which could illuminate and be elegant and beautiful.

Fang Yun followed behind Pei Yao, observing the surroundings silently, thinking that Tongqian County was really rich, and the banquet to welcome the Crown Prince and the First Prince would cost a lot of money.

Entering the hall, everyone sat down one after another.

Pei Yao is naturally in the main position, and Fang Jun and Zhou Shuren are placed on the left, right, and rear sides of him. On the lower head, the eldest prince is the leader on the left, who is an official from Kyoto, and the leader on the right is the magistrate of Huzhou, and other places. official.

Tongqian County belongs to Huzhou, so the governor of this state will naturally come to see him. At this moment, people have been courteously ordering food and wine, singing and dancing.

This kind of occasion is not something that Fang Yun's level can interrupt, so he just silently acts as a backdrop in the background, eating quietly and watching Pei Yao chatting with these officials.

After drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere on the stage was very good. Just after the end of a silk and bamboo song, a group of slender dancers holding tambourines came up.

All the girls were dressed in green clothes, and the leading dancer in the middle was dressed in a seductive red dress.

For some reason, Fang Yun felt that the eyes of the woman in red who was leading the dance were glued to Pei Yao's body like lotus roots. Her eyes seemed to want to seduce his soul.

Apparently Zhou Shuren also noticed this, and her complexion became less pretty.

In contrast, Pei Yao still looked relaxed and unrestrained, smiling and toasting to drink from time to time, as if admiring him.

Fang Yun's eyes flickered slightly, and he guessed that this woman must have an impure mind, and maybe even specially arranged by the local officials, but Pei Yao, he wouldn't really want it, would he?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but move her gaze, and looked at Pei Yao's face, but she couldn't see anything, so she had to hold back her thoughts.
