Chapter 52 King Jing’s Mansion Attends a Banquet
byChapter 52: King Jing’s Mansion Attends a Banquet (Part 1)
Qiao Songyu slept in a daze all night, tossing and turning in a dream all night, and he didn't know what he had dreamed, but he always felt that it was not a good dream. When he woke up in the morning, he only felt very tired, his eyelids were tired,The mind is also tired, and the heart is even more tired.
He sat curled up on the bed, still thinking about the words Pei Rongbai said last night:
"Everything is according to the princess' wishes, Song'er, don't let him know!"
He thought, since Pei Rongbai didn't bother to explain to himself, he was so blatant, so he was afraid that he knew what to do?I have to discuss with people in the middle of the night, I really don't understand him.
Maybe he used me as a cover to deal with matters in the court, but now that Princess Lu Yang is here, he can use himself as a cover even more, not only in the court, but also in matters between men and women. After all, Princess Lu Yang is a princessHowever, if he was with her, he would always be suspected of taking advantage of the power of the princess to climb up, but now that he was acting as a cover, the two of them could be together blatantly.
"Ma'am, are you up yet?" He was in a daze when Qi Yue's voice sounded from outside the room.
"No, talk to Pei Ji if you have something to do!" Now Qiao Songyu didn't want to see Pei Rongbai, and naturally she didn't want to see Pei Rongbai's people, so she said angrily to Qiyue outside.
Qi Yue was very patient, and said: "The steward called the maidservant to report this matter to Madam. It is said that King Jing is hosting a banquet for the Lord Prime Minister and Madam today, and Madam should be ready."
"No, are you annoying?!" Qiao Songyu became more and more impatient, and he lay down again, covering his head with the quilt, with a look of "I don't care whoever invites me".
After all, if you go to Prince Jing's mansion, you may meet Princess Lu Yang, and she will humiliate me again, and Pei Rongbai will use me as a cover to flirt with her, so as not to be that fool who is being used by others without knowing itWoolen cloth!
However, Qiyue outside said relentlessly: "Ma'am, this is an order from the Lord Prime Minister. The Lord Prime Minister is still handling official business in the recruiting hall. I will come to pick you up later. The servant is just conveying his order, whether to go or not.", please speak to the Lord Prime Minister yourself."
"..." You mean that if I don't go, Pei Rongbai will invite me in person, right?
Qiao Songyu was a little angry and aggrieved—remembering that he refused to come back last night, Pei Rongbai used violence to bring him back. If he didn't go today, would Pei Rongbai also use violence to force him to go?
But I really don't want to go! If I go and be used like a fool, anyone will be angry, right?Or is it that he serves him with delicious food and drink, so he has to be used by him like a fool?
The more Qiao Songyu thought about it, the more wronged she became. After much deliberation, she still decided not to go - if I don't change my clothes, Pei Rongbai can't take me away by force, right?
So he pretended he hadn't heard about it at all, got up and put on some clothes casually, called someone to have breakfast, and started to eat breakfast leisurely.
When it was Sishi, Bai Lu said that Pei Rongbai had returned.
At this moment, Qiao Songyu had finished her breakfast, and was holding the general to brush his hair. Pei Rongbai came in hurriedly, and saw Qiao Songyu wearing a loose dress, with a pretty little face expressionless, combing the general leisurely.Mao, he frowned suddenly and asked:
"Didn't I ask Pei Zhi to inform you that I'm going to have a banquet in Prince Jing's mansion?"
Qiao Songyu snorted coldly, and replied without raising her head, "I'm not going!"
Now Pei Rongbai frowned even tighter, his pair of dark peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed, but looked very cold, he looked straight at Qiao Songyu, and said: "Don't make trouble, go and change clothes, we set off immediately.”
Qiao Songyu was indifferent, still combing the general's hair slowly, and said slowly: "I said I won't go, you go by yourself."
"Qiao Songyu, don't make me say it a second time." Pei Rongbai's complexion became more and more ugly, his voice was not high, but his tone was very dangerous, the maid beside him had lowered his head long ago, only Qiao Songyu hugged the general,Still without looking up, he said:
"You say it ten times and a hundred times, I still say the same thing, don't go!"
Pei Rongbai couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward and grabbed his wrist, with faint anger in his eyes: "Go and change clothes for me, you have no choice!"
Qiao Songyu was grabbed by him, so he had to raise his head to look at him. Tears were already in his beautiful eyes, and he looked at him with a little grievance, but his words were still stubborn: "So what if I don't go?"?”
"If you don't go, be careful of the Qiao family!" Pei Rongbai looked at him coldly, and Qiao Songyu's heart was shocked and chilled by his words.
He still remembered how Pei Rongbai used to say "Song'er" before, and also remembered how Pei Rongbai was obedient to him, how he spoke to him in a gentle tone... Now that he thinks about it, all this is just an illusion that Pei Rongbai deceived himself!
That's right, I am the son of a lowly businessman, I have no advantages other than being beautiful, Pei Rongbai is in a high position, power is in the hands of the people, if he doesn't want to coax himself, why should he treat himself like this?
He seemed to have figured it out, and laughed at himself: "Okay, just go, isn't the purpose of you marrying me just to give you a cover? I have obeyed the Lord Prime Minister, and I hope that the Lord Prime Minister will raise his hand, let our Qiao family survive..."
As he spoke, the tears fell from his eyes as if they could no longer hold them.
Seeing this, Pei Rongbai looked at Qiao Songyu's eyes and moved slightly, and slowly loosened his hand.
Qiao Songyu sneered "heh", and pulled his hand out of Pei Rongbai's, "Don't touch me!"
After speaking, he got up and went to change clothes.
Bai Lu glanced at Pei Rongbai who was standing there, didn't dare to breathe out, and hurriedly followed in cautiously.As soon as he entered, he saw his young master lying on the bed crying in desolation.
...
After a while, Qiao Songyu finally came out and changed his clothes. Pei Rongbai glanced at him and saw that his eyes were red, but there were no tears on his face. If it wasn't for his eyes, it would be impossible to tell that he was crying.
What a stubborn kid.
The two got into the carriage and went to King Jing's Mansion together. In the carriage, Qiao Songyu sat on the side, far away from Pei Rongbai, with his head facing the outside of the window, as if he didn't want to see Pei Rongbai.
Pei Rongbai also lowered his head to read the book, and the two of them were silent all the way.
After about a cup of tea, King Jing's Mansion arrived. The housekeeper of King Jing's Mansion and several well-dressed servants were kneeling at the door to greet him.
Pei Rongbai got out of the carriage first, and then turned to look at Qiao Songyu. Seeing Qiao Songyu walking down carefully, he took a step forward, hugged Qiao Songyu, and carried him down directly.
Qiao Songyu was taken aback, but she just glanced at him and didn't say anything.
Seeing this, the butler at the side couldn't help but praise: "Hey, Lord Prime Minister and his wife are so loving!"
If it was in the past, Qiao Songyu would definitely dislike him, but now he knows that all this is just for others to see by Pei Rongbai!
