Chapter 23 Taking advantage of him
Chapter 23 Taking advantage of him
Two days before Guyu, the army returned to Chang'an, and the people in the city lined the streets and cheered.
Three days ago, Liu Huan started preparations and held a banquet in Weiyang Palace, with all the civil and military officials present to celebrate Wei Yuan's triumphant return from the expedition.
Wei Yuan sat on the main seat of the main hall. He felt exhausted from traveling during this period. Looking at the singing and dancing in front of him and the smiles on everyone's faces, he drank two glasses of wine and ate something, then He went to rest, and Wei Huan took his place and had fun with all the officials.
Kuai Tong helped his majesty into the bedroom. He could feel that his majesty had something on his mind, so he served him more carefully.
"Quai Tong."
"The minister is here."
"During my absence, will the Crown Prince still be able to supervise the country effectively?"
Kuai Tong knelt down and replied: "His Royal Highness the Prince is very diligent and conscientious every day. He is personally involved in political affairs. His Royal Highness is highly praised by the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty."
After hearing what he said, Wei Yuan didn't say anything. He just sat down by the bed and stretched out his feet. Kuai Tong saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to help Wei Yuan take off his boots.
"Tell me, am I getting old?"
"Your Majesty lives forever. He is in the prime of life and is not old at all."
"Then tell me, should I pass the throne to the prince?"
Kuai Tong kowtowed and said in panic: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, but I dare not discuss the government affairs arbitrarily."
"I didn't say anything, why are you afraid?"
Kuai Tong knelt on the ground without saying a word. Wei Yuan looked at his appearance and said, "I heard that you are very supportive of the prince, and you are very close to the queen in private."
"I don't dare. I don't support the prince, and I'm not familiar with the queen. Your Majesty, don't listen to the slanderous words of traitors. I will always be your Majesty's minister."
"Really? You will always be my subject?"
Kuai Tong kowtowed three times to show his loyalty.
"When someone comes, he conveys my will, his internal officials are interfering with each other, he forms cliques for personal gain, he colludes with the harem, and he wants to usurp the throne and kill the king. He will be beheaded immediately as a sign to the world."
Kuai Tong couldn't believe what he heard. He begged for mercy one after another, but to no avail. After a while, the shouting outside finally subsided.
Wei Yuan was lying on the bed. The doctor ordered Ma Xi to report that Kuai Tong had been killed.
"Cut off his head and send it to the Queen's Palace later."
"The minister obeys the order."
Since Pei Sheng became pregnant, Queen Ban's attitude towards her daughter-in-law has changed a lot, and she has become the most popular woman in the harem. All good things are sent to the East Palace where she lives. The prince His attitude towards her has also improved a lot, and she also understands that all this is because of the child in her belly, and she is more valuable than her mother.
But even if all this is based on having children, she is still struggling to the extreme. She can enjoy such glory and wealth for one day.
At the banquet, watching Wei Shao and Pei Ying drinking and talking, she became restless again.
She was two months pregnant and had not yet shown her pregnancy, but she still held her waist with her hands for fear that others would not know she was pregnant.
"King of Peiping, Princess."
Seeing her approaching, the two stood up and saluted.
"I heard that Princess Beiping followed King Beiping to the battlefield this time. You two really have a deep love for each other."
"Crown Princess, you are pregnant with the emperor's grandson. In the future, you will be the most noble woman in the Wei Dynasty!"
"That's natural. My son is the crown prince's eldest son and your majesty's eldest grandson. His status is so noble. As his biological mother, I am certainly noble."
Pei Ying was really speechless towards her. Why was this arrogant and domineering attitude so annoying?
"Princess of Peiping, please hurry up. There are three ways to be unfilial, the worst is not having an heir."
"Thank you for your concern, Princess."
Pei Ying dealt with it verbally, but in his mind he just wanted her to leave quickly.
"I would like to pay my respects to the Princess of Peiping."
Pei Ying picked up the agate feather cup, but Pei Sheng held her wrist down. She signaled the maid to bring the wine pot and filled Pei Ying's cup to the full. Wei Shao wanted to take action, but Pei Ying stopped her and she shook her head.
Pei Ying drank it all in one gulp. Seeing her bold spirit, Pei Sheng became even more angry. He picked up the wine bottle and poured another glass. Pei Ying was not afraid and drank it all in one gulp.
In this way, the two of them talked back and forth and drank one glass after another. The only difference was that Pei Ying drank wine and Pei Sheng drank water.
Queen Ban watched Pei Sheng secretly while enjoying the show. When she saw that she was acting foolishly, she quickly asked her maid to remind her.
"Princess, you are indeed a hero among women, I will toast you again, I wish you"
"Princess, the queen please come over and have a talk."
Pei Sheng stopped pouring the wine, smiled broadly, and hurriedly followed her.
After several glasses of wine, Pei Ying felt dizzy. She couldn't stand upright. Wei Shao supported her and stopped her in his arms.
"I know you have a good drinking capacity, but you can't drink like this. What if you lose your manners in front of the palace when you are drunk?"
"Pei Sheng just made me drink on purpose, but who am I? I am a Chang'an woman who will be strong in my life. Can I let her look down on me?"
Seeing that she was starting to talk nonsense, Wei Shao found a reason and took her away from the banquet first.
The night breeze blew against her face, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers in the air. Wei Shao supported her and slowly walked towards the palace gate.
She was too drunk and rested her head on his chest. The palace guests who passed by stepped aside to salute.
"Wei Shao, are there any stars tonight?"
Wei Shao looked up at the sky and replied, "No."
"You're talking nonsense, it's obviously there."
Wei Shao raised his head and looked at the sky carefully, and there was indeed none.
"Look up and see for yourself, where are the stars?"
Pei Ying suddenly broke free from his arm and walked to the front before him. Then she turned around and moved smoothly. At this time, the distance between the two was less than half a meter. Wei Shao stopped quickly. Who would have thought that she would reach out and grab Wei Shao? The skirt of his clothes forcibly shortened the distance between the two of them, looking at him with a silly smile.
She smelled of alcohol and said, "You have stars in your eyes."
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and Wei Shao felt that his heartbeat missed half a beat.
Pei Ying giggled and fell into his arms. He immediately stretched out his hands to catch her. Seeing that she was unsteady on her feet, he grabbed her and picked her up.
"Hey, why am I flying?"
"Be good, don't move."
"I don't want to be good, I have to move, I have to move."
What could Wei Shao do? He could only look at her helplessly and walk forward slowly.
Everyone in the palace who saw this scene turned their backs and took a peek. Tonight, this gossip will soon spread throughout the palace.
Pei Ying felt a little tired after fussing for a while, so she put her hands around Wei Shao's neck and leaned her head on his shoulder, showing a sly smile.
She was a little drunk, but not to the level just now.
The woman is half drunk and will act until you cry.
Wei Shao is such a cold and ascetic handsome man. It is rare that he has the opportunity to take advantage of him. How could he let him go so easily? After all, such opportunities do not come every day.
"Wei Shao, why is your neck so hot?"
When saying this, Pei Ying deliberately rubbed his neck.
In her ears, she could only hear the sound of Wei Shao's Adam's apple rolling.
On the first day of 2024, princesses and princes, please read the book!
