From ancient times to the present, no matter which dynasty is in Kyoto, changes in the court will inevitably spread to the city in a very short period of time.

After the second prince's poor performance at the court, the Bamboo House was deserted that night. It was completely empty for the first time, so that the shopkeepers and clerks were panicked.

The next day, Emperor Kaiping arrived at the palace. There was no conflict between father and son, and there was no anger on His Majesty's face when he left. Another day later, the two shopkeepers of Qinyuan transferred to the gate of Zhulou.

In this sense, it was announced that Qinyuan's suppression of Zhulou for a whole year had ended. Only at this time did the world understand that even though the second prince had lost the qualification to compete for the crown prince, Emperor Kaiping would not continue to suppress him. At least he would ensure that he could be the prince.

His Majesty lived the rest of his life in peace.

As a result, the Bamboo House soon returned to its former hustle and bustle.

There was a lot of traffic outside the building. Zhike, who had just welcomed a distinguished guest, turned around and saw a luxurious carriage approaching slowly. He quickly greeted it with a smile on his face. When he got closer, he saw the emblem on the carriage. He couldn't help but feel a sudden change in his heart. He greeted the entourage respectfully.

Asked: "I dare to ask, but in Dingguo Mansion?"

After receiving the affirmative answer, Zhike became more and more afraid of being careless and said obediently: "I didn't know that Uncle Pei was here. I didn't expect the bamboo tower to welcome you from afar. I still pray for forgiveness."

He knew that the second young master of the Pei family was having a banquet in the building at the moment, so he thought that coming in the car must be Pei Cheng, the uncle of Dingyuan who inherited the title.

The attendant looked at Zhike with a strange expression. He wanted to say something sarcastic, but he was worried that the people in the carriage would be angry, so he could only say in a low voice: "My uncle is currently on duty in the garrison, and today is not a day for rest. How can we have lunch at noon?"

Come here to drink? If the imperial censor hears this, my uncle will definitely be impeached for nothing."

Zhike felt awe-struck, and quickly apologized: "I am ignorant, I hope you will forgive me, but I didn't know that the person in the car was..."

The subordinate said: "Yes."

Pei Ning said gently but firmly: "No need."

Pei Ning turned around and walked away from the bamboo building accompanied by good words and eyes full of joy.

Chen An snorted softly and said: "In a few days, we will find a suitable excuse and let them swallow what they said."

"Tsk, tsk, you are indeed the eldest sister and mother. But when the second young master was plotted against, what did the eldest lady think?"

When we arrived at the door of the private room on the third floor, we could hear the noise inside through the ajar door before we even entered.

Just when Chen An was about to speak, his eyes moved slightly and he lowered his voice and said, "Don't let anyone know that you are staring at Dingguo Mansion."

…

"Yes, the eldest lady seems to be too lenient."

The four followers were elite soldiers who had followed Pei Cheng in the Western Region and had killed people. They were specifically assigned to protect Pei Ning. They had already been extremely unhappy listening to those unappetizing words. How could they be polite when they received an order at this moment?

Pei Yun sneered: "Sister, what are you afraid of?"

Pei Yun suddenly slapped the table, and the alcohol color on his face faded a lot.

It seems that the banquet has been going on for a long time. The cups and plates on the table are in a mess. There are six people sitting at the table. At this moment, they are all red-faced and confused. Pei Yun, who is sitting in the main seat, seems not to have seen Pei Ning. He raises his wine cup and says loudly.

: "Drink to win!"

This subordinate was his confidant, so he immediately understood and said: "I understand my humble position."

Pei Ning could not hide his disappointment in his eyes, and said slowly: "As long as he is in the capital, he will come to see me every now and then. This situation can only show that the situation is very tense, and he can't take care of it at all. Pei Yun, you only have prejudice in your heart now.

But since I was a child, when have I ever ignored you? Forget it, it doesn’t matter whether you recognize me as your sister or not, but you can’t continue to cause disaster in the government outside."

Pei Ning did not argue with him and said softly: "If you want to drink, you can drink in the house and no one will care about you. Although the Bamboo House is good, it is not suitable for you to come now. If you still refuse to get up, I will have to ask someone to take you there."

You go back."

Although the others were also in a daze, they seemed to be a little more sober than him. They couldn't help but look at the slim Pei Ning, and the table suddenly became quiet.

The attendant said softly: "The eldest daughter of my family is in the car."

In the private room, Pei Yun stared at this scene blankly, raging anger surged to his forehead, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, you finally found a chance to take revenge."

The new boss of the Bamboo House had already received the news, but after asking for the identity of the visitor, he quickly ordered the building stewards and nursing staff to pretend they had seen nothing.

Chen An almost couldn't believe it. Although judging from previous reports, the war in Northern Xinjiang was not going well, the barbarians were actually very cunning and never fought head-on with Liang Jun.

Pei Yun slammed the wine cup on the table, his eyes were slightly red, and he sneered: "Sister, why are you pretending in front of your younger brother? I know that you only have your precious third brother in your heart, and you have long stopped treating yourself as a member of the Pei family. I am drunk

Whether you are awake, alive or dead, what does it have to do with you?"

A few moments later, the door was almost pushed open violently. Chen An frowned slightly, but when he saw the face of the visitor, he couldn't help but change his expression and said: "There is news from Northern Xinjiang?"

Zhike immediately realized that he was probably looking for the second young master of the Pei family. Without hesitation, he quickly led the carriage into the building from the side door and went straight to the door of the back building.

At the end of her speech, her tone was trembling slightly, and a look of worry appeared on her fair face, and she said: "Brother is on duty today, otherwise he would have come to find you. The old lady is old, and my parents are in such a bad situation, and it will be difficult for me to live in the house again."

You can't withstand the storm, but you are talking about the emperor and the government outside. Do you have to see the Pei family destroyed before you give up?"

"I don't dare, I don't dare." Zhike still lowered his head and said: "The second young master of your mansion is hosting a banquet for friends in the 'Flower' room on the third floor. I wonder if it needs to be communicated?"

Peining said softly: "Did you know that my third brother hasn't come to see me for a while?"

The subordinate shook his head and said: "Don't worry, sir. Pei Yun is a serious person, and the Dingguo Mansion has been cleaned several times by Uncle Pei. It is very clean. The eldest daughter of the Pei family does not have any safety concerns. As for Pei Yun's bad friends, there are

The two of them were quite unwilling to do so, and they left with dirty words in their mouths."

Pei Ning glanced at the wine bottle in front of him and said slowly: "Let's go back home."

Pei Ning knew him so well that she could tell at a glance that her words had no effect, but she did not hesitate or hesitate, and said to the entourage around her: "Bring the second young master back to the house. From now on, unless the eldest brother or I give permission, he must not be allowed to come back."

Leave the mansion. However, you cannot restrict the second young master’s freedom in the mansion. Your treatment should be the same as before."

Pei Yun smiled and said: "It's better to be drunk."

These people are of a mixed composition, including libertines who have fallen into disgrace, and poor scholars who are frustrated. Otherwise, they would not be hanging around Pei Yun today. They can still maintain a trace of sobriety, knowing that there is a person standing behind this eldest lady.

The extremely frightened Marquis Zhongshan did not dare to speak evil words, but just acted in a strange and evil manner.

"Yes, Miss."

Liangyan looked at Pei Ning worriedly, but was surprised to find that except for the slightly sad look in her eyes, the eldest lady did not show panic or weakness. At this moment, she couldn't help but think of one thing. Ever since she saw Pei Ning in Xianyun Villa,

After killing more people, the eldest lady seemed to have never cried again.

Pei Ning took a breath and walked towards the building. Liangyan and four elite guards quickly followed.

The man said with panic on his face: "Sir, the Xuanhua Camp has been defeated!"

Pei Ning frowned slightly, stepped forward and stared into Pei Yun's eyes and said: "You should be very clear about whose fault those grudges were. After you were dismissed from office, you indulged in drinking and sex every day. I know that you are unwilling and resentful.

, I only hope you can think it over as soon as possible, but I have never interfered with your freedom. But you are becoming more and more different now. You always talk nonsense when you are drunk, and you even dare to talk about the palace. You know how dangerous this is.

?”

Not long after, two young women came out of the carriage, their heads lowered and their eyebrows lowered, not daring to look around.

A few years ago, Pei Ning probably wouldn't have known how to deal with it, but now she just said calmly: "Please get these people out."

"You dare!"

He was naturally referring to the marriage between Pei Ning and the eldest prince.

He has gone from being a newly rich man in the Hanlin Academy to being worthless and white now. His mind has long been distorted, so he cannot listen to any advice at all.

Liangyan said with concern: "Miss, why don't you let the maid go in first to check the situation?"

Peining stood there and said calmly: "Second brother, you are drunk."

Those people were a little unable to bear it, because they heard some other meanings from Pei Ning's words. It seemed that Pei Yun was very cheap when hanging out with them. Also, by the time the banquet was going on, everyone was already 70-80% drunk. Even if someone was

He said angrily: "Miss, the Bamboo House is not a brothel, so what's the harm in having the second young master come here?"

Pei Ning's face was solemn, but he still winked at Liangyan, who then took out a tael of silver from his purse, put it into Zhike's hand without any explanation, and said softly: "Thank you."

Only then did Pei Yun notice the abnormality. He looked up at Pei Ning, who was staring at him. A wanton smile appeared on his face and he said vaguely: "Why is eldest sister here? Since you are here, you are welcome. Come and sit down quickly. Let's

Siblings, let’s have a nice drink.”

Pei Yun silently clenched his fists.

The reason why he is so respectful is not simply because he is afraid of the name of Dingguo Mansion, but because he has witnessed Pei Yue's domineering behavior several times in Zhulou, and he has also heard that Pei Yue has great respect for the young lady Dingguo.

Be patient.

In an inconspicuous house in Xicheng, Chen An, the deputy commander of Luan Yiwei, listened to his subordinate's report and said calmly: "Is there any clue to this matter?"

The two followers, who were full of fierceness, agreed sincerely, and then stepped forward to hold up Pei Yun on the left and right sides, completely ignoring his struggles and shouts.

Nowadays, he is like one of those vulgar scoundrels. The noble and scholarly aura of the past has disappeared, and these words are extremely heartbreaking.

Pei Yun was a little confused for a moment and said sarcastically: "Don't you think it's too late for me to think of my second brother now?"

The guest said nothing more and slowly withdrew.

"I was just drinking and chatting with the second young master, but I don't know where the eldest lady was thinking about."

Liangyan shook his head and said, "Thank you, no need."

I saw them walking forward quickly, grabbing the collars of those people as if they were holding chickens, and then throwing them out of the door without any explanation, leaving them moaning in pain. The two of them stood at the door of the private room like door gods, and the other two

Turn back to Peining.

She stretched out her hand to open the door and walked in. She walked around the screen and walked into the inner room. The strong smell of alcohol came in front of her, which made her frown slightly, but she soon regained her calm expression and stared at the picture not far away.

round table.

But Ge Shuyi has 50,000 troops under his command. Even if he divides his troops to garrison at important border areas, he will still have at least 15,000 people around him.

He actually lost.

Chen An stood up quickly and said, "Enter the palace immediately and talk as we go."

I actually wanted to post it earlier, but the longer I wrote, the longer I wrote, and I had no choice. Hey, please vote!
