The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 152 Invitation to Plum Blossom Appreciation

Because Wu Haolong deceived merchants with fake bank notes, An Guogong voluntarily handed over his military power and closed his doors at home to reflect on his mistakes.At the same time, Emperor Cheng demoted the four princes to the temple on the grounds that Concubine Liang had been ill for a long time, and as a son, he should be filial to his mother. In name, he was praying for Concubine Liang, but in fact he was going to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors.

In the afternoon of this day, Li Meiying was reading a book alone in the house. Wei Jinyang entered her boudoir through the window. Li Meiying just glanced at him lazily, and then returned to the book in her hand.

Wei Jinyang sat down on the round stool opposite her calmly and said, "The plum blossoms in Yumeiyuan are blooming just right, have you visited them?"

Hearing this, Li Meiying closed the book in her hand, looked up at him and said, "If you want to invite me to appreciate the plum blossoms, you can enter the mansion through the main entrance. Do you need to sneak through the windows like this? Tell me, what are you doing today?" Come on, what do you want to know?"

Hearing this, Wei Jinyang didn't beat around the bush: "Such a great opportunity, why don't you overthrow Duke An in one fell swoop, instead spare his life?"

Hearing this, Li Meizhen smiled nonchalantly: "The timing is wrong now, he can't die yet, let's save his life for now!"

"Do you have any big plans? Can you tell me so that I can help you?" Asking the guess in his heart, Wei Jinyang asked to help her again.

Putting the book on the table beside her, Li Meiying picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, her expression cold and indifferent: "I don't have any plans, it's because you think too much."

Wei Jinyang naturally didn't believe it, but she didn't want to say more, and he couldn't guess the specifics, so he simply didn't get entangled here, and just changed the subject and said: "I want to know the truth about the entire village of Dongxiang Village being silenced. You can say it!"

Smiling, Li Sister-in-law explained: "The matter is very simple. What happened in Dongcun Village is the collusion between officials and bandits, but it is true that An Guogong was injured, because to create the illusion that officials and gangsters are at odds, the deputy general is also under the supervision of An Guogong." Instructions, to reach an agreement with the bandits, An Guogong let them go, and they have to find a scapegoat, and the bandit's request is very simple, ask An Guogong to provide the officers and soldiers with clothes and weapons, and at the same time hand over the signature with the official seal of An Guogong A copy of the memorial was used as a talisman. Mr. An had a two-handed plan to use the hands of bandits to behead nearly a hundred people in Dongcun Village, but he ordered his lieutenant to drug the wine at the celebration banquet. In order to win the trust of the bandits, Mr. An used I got the pass for asking for credit, and I wanted to get it back after finishing the group of bandits at the celebration banquet, but it was not as good as the sky, and the pass fell into the corpse pile in Dongcun Village."

Hearing this, Wei Jinyang sighed, and asked again: "You should have evidence against An Guogong!"

"Yes, a letter sufficient to testify against his crime." Li Meiying got up and went to the desk, took out a letter from the drawer and handed it to Wei Jinyang.

Wei Jinyang took it and did not open it to read, but looked at Li Meiying in surprise and said, "Are you going to hand over this letter to me? You are not afraid that I will take the letter to the palace and present it to my father immediately." Emperor!"

"I said before that Duke An is still useful. You can't die. You won't make things difficult for me, right?" Looking into Wei Jinyang's eyes, Li Meizhen said in a soft voice.

With a helpless smile, Wei Jinyang put the letter in his arms, and said with a low laugh, "I am doomed to be defeated by you in my life." What he couldn't resist most was her pair of peach blossom eyes with a hint of tenderness .

When Li Meizhen heard this, a look of unnaturalness flashed in her eyes, she avoided his eyes with a little embarrassment and said: "Do you have time tomorrow, I want to go to admire the plum blossoms."

"Yes, then tomorrow I will come and pick you up to Yumei Pavilion." Unexpectedly, she would take the initiative to invite her, Wei Jinyang was overjoyed and hurriedly responded.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you in the mansion." Li Sister-in-law wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she finally changed her mind and agreed.

The next day, in front of the gate of Yumei Garden, two gorgeous carriages stopped one after the other. When Wei Jinyang got off the carriage, Li Sister-in-law in the carriage behind had already supported Yunyu's hand and was getting off the carriage. A few steps forward, when Li Meizhen stood still, she said with a smile: "There was another heavy snowfall two days ago, today the sky is clear, it is a good day to enjoy the plum blossoms, let's go in!"

The two of them entered the gate of Yumei Garden, and immediately a beauty in a pink skirt greeted her and said, "Greetings to the Prince's Palace and Princess Yingfeng, and best wishes to both Your Highnesses." The girl's voice was soft and pleasant, and her manner Perfect and beautiful, but compared with Li Meiying who was wearing a colorful phoenix totem cloak, she immediately paled in comparison.

Wei Jinyang only had Li Sister-in-law in his eyes, and he didn't look at the beauty in front of him at all, so he just said lightly, "Let's be free from courtesy!"

Li Meiying glanced at the beauty calmly, then smiled and said to Wei Jinyang: "Brother Huang, this is the concubine daughter of Master Jing Zhaoyin and Sun, her boudoir name is Qinrou."

"So it's Ms. Sun, are you here to appreciate the plum blossoms too?" Hearing this, Wei Jinyang knew that Li Sister-in-law wanted to create the illusion that they were just righteous brothers and sisters in front of outsiders, because he agreed accordingly.

Wei Jinyang's initiative to ask questions made Sun Qinrou happy, but her face became more reserved and a touch of shyness appeared just right: "My little girl has only loved plum blossoms since she was a child. I didn't expect that His Royal Highness also loves plum blossoms." The person who is like you, and the little girl are like-minded."

When Wei Jinyang heard this, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes, what he hated the most was this kind of pretentious woman, and he just replied lightly: "The imperial sister is the one who loves plums, I am just a companion today. "

Hearing this, Sun Qinrou raised her head slightly in astonishment, but saw Wei Jinyang saying to the boss of Yumeiyuan impatiently: "Princess Yingsu booked a private room, take me there."

The boss hurriedly nodded and bowed, and led the way ahead. Before Wei Jinyang left, he said to Li Sister-in-law: "I'll go to the private room first, and you and this like-minded Miss Sun have a good chat about plum blossoms!"

Li Meizheng smiled when she heard the words, turned her head to look at Sun Qinrou and said with a smile: "Brother, today, I have invited some noble children to go to the school to practice riding and archery, but I forcefully dragged them here, so I am naturally in a bad mood , let Miss Sun feel wronged."

When Sun Qinrou heard the words, she quickly shook her head and said empathetically, "Princess's words are serious, Rou'er doesn't feel wronged."

Hearing this, the smile on Li Sister-in-law's face became colder, at this time Yunyu behind her said softly: "Princess, you are weak, it is better not to stand in this cold wind for a long time, you should go to the box It’s warmer here, it’s not too late to go to Zhemei later.”

Sun Qinrou winked at the end, heard the words and hurriedly agreed: "The little girl is really careless, she let the princess stand in this wind for a long time, the little girl will accompany the princess back to the box, I wonder if the princess will dislike it."

When Yunyu heard this, a look of disgust flashed in her eyes. She had seen clearly what Sun Qinrou had in mind for Wei Jinyang. She didn't want this woman to affect the princess and Wei Jinyang when she was alone. He said with a smile: "It's best if Miss Sun is willing to be with the princess. His Royal Highness is going to be angry. With Miss Sun by the princess' side, it can ease the tension between the princess and His Royal Highness!"
