At that moment, everyone seemed to be dazzled by Jingwan's smile. However, after regaining their senses, it made people break out in cold sweat … …
Perhaps because of a guilty conscience, Pei Clan Head's furen unconsciously knelt down. She had already knelt down, how could the girl who followed her still stand upright? Since she had already knelt down, the ceremony naturally had to be complete, "Greetings to wangfei niangniang." The etiquette of aristocratic families was always a little different compared to the common ones. This ceremony of kneeling down was more solemn.
Jingwan's eyes flashed. No matter what the other party's reason was, she did not avoid it. This ceremony, she accepted it. The other party was a commoner, she was a qinwang fei; the other party was Jin Qinwang's maternal grandmother, but nominally, there was no relationship at all. What's more, in a formal occasion, she even had to accept the ceremony of her own parents and grandparents, so what did this count as?
It was natural for her to accept it. On the contrary, it was the other party's fault for not bowing.
"Quickly dispense with the ceremony." She gestured to the yahuan beside her.
Qing Zhu immediately came forward with a smile and helped Pei Clan Head's furen up, "Lao Taitai, quickly get up."
This form of address made the furen of Pei clan shiver. She rejoiced that she had bowed in greeting so that no one could pick out the mistake. If Jin Qinwang Fei knew of their purpose in coming, any little mistake could be used by the other party as a pretext to make a fuss. Before seeing Jin Qinwang, a casual disrespectful hat would make them unable to bear the consequences.
The yahuan moved over an embroidered stool, a short table, and prepared fruits and refreshments. The three tables were filled to the brim and there was no repetition.
"Sit." As if seeing the other party's apprehension, "Be casual in private, Pei Lao Taitai does not need to care about this." Her flowers had not yet been cultivated, how could she sit.
Seeing Jingwan's insistence, Pei Clan Head's furen nodded, "Many thanks to wangfei niangniang." She took the lead and the girls behind naturally followed.
Jingwan's gaze landed on Pei Xiuying and the others. She praised, "It is said that the Pei family produces beauties. Looking at them today, it is indeed so. Previously, when I was traveling from Chongzhou to Chuanzhou, I saw this young lady from the Pei family on the ship. She could be said to be a celestial being. Looking at the others today, they are not inferior by much.
"The Princess Consort is overpraising them. They are just little girls who have never seen the world, how could they compare to the Princess Consort's grace?" Madam Pei gazed at Jingwan with a faint smile, trying not to show any other emotions. This sentence was meant to be a compliment, but after a little bit of observation, one would find that it was not an exaggeration. In terms of bearing, even Ma Yingying, who had spent countless efforts to cultivate, seemed to be inferior. Regarding today's matter, he felt more and more uncertain.
"You're born with good conditions. As for the rest, you just need to take care of yourself." Therefore, Jingwan wasn't modest at all in response to the compliment.
However, regarding the fact that Pei Xiuying had already met Jin Qinwang Fei, the other girls were a little unsettled. That meant that Jin Qinwang might have also met her, which would certainly have a greater advantage over them.
Jingwan turned to trim the flowers again while chatting with them. They didn't say what they came for, so Jingwan naturally wasn't anxious at all. She calmly sat on the fishing platform. If you have the ability, you can keep holding it in and not say it. Jingwan would just treat it as a group of people chatting with her to pass the time. In any case, she had nothing to do, so she could afford to waste time.
The impatience of the Pei family was even more intense than before when they couldn't get any news.
In comparison, Jingwan's leisure was somewhat excessive. Moreover, no one treated guests like her. However, with their status, it seemed that they didn't have the right to speak at all.
To put it nicely, Jin Qinwang Fei didn't regard them as outsiders. To put it bluntly, Jin Qinwang simply didn't take them seriously. One might ask, were they very familiar with Jingwan? Therefore, in their view, it could only be the latter. But in fact, they didn't know her at all. This was the first time they visited. Even if Pei family had no official position or nobility, but the title of the number one noble family was still attached to their heads. Those who were related to Pei family were definitely not few in number in the officialdom. No matter what, they had to give some face.
When they came in and saw Jin Qinwang Fei, they felt that this whole matter was strange. Even if she had seen Jin Qinwang Fei's invitation and saw the signature, she should have avoided it. Unless she knew from the beginning that the person Pei Shi came to visit was a female, and perhaps even knew the purpose.
Understanding this point, they felt that Jin Qinwang Fei really had good self-restraint. If it was an ordinary person, even if they didn't directly use a stick to drive people away, they wouldn't have a good expression. Then, what was Jin Qinwang Fei's attitude in this? He directly threw the person for his Wangfei to meet. Did it mean that he refused? The reason why he didn't completely shut the door was because of that bit of blood relationship? He didn't even see his own maternal grandmother, was it that he didn't care about this blood relationship?
Pei Clan Head Furen's temperament might be a bit weak, but her IQ was still on the line. Thinking of this, her heart became more and more anxious, afraid that Li Hongyuan wouldn't even see her once. As for the "mission" and whatnot, it was all thrown to the side. In the end, she couldn't hold back, "Has Wangfei niangniang heard Wangye talk about Pei Shi?"
Jingwan's hand paused, and she turned her head, "What is Lao Taitai referring to?"
Pei Clan Head Furen endured, but in the end, she couldn't hold back, "Wangye's birth mother is this commoner's youngest di daughter."
Pei Shi's six young ladies, except for Pei Yu Ying, only now knew about this. It couldn't be said that they weren't surprised. So, so Jin Qinwang was their cousin? Suddenly, their eyes fell on Pei Yu Ying. Their group of cousins was just right ah. You, a niece, sitting here, what do you want to do? It's fine if you don't want face, but Jin Qinwang still wants face. Of course, they wouldn't think that this was arranged by their own grandfather. They would only think that Pei Yu Ying had deliberately planned this.
Jingwan nodded, "This matter is known. After all, Pei Clan Head once used such a special method to invite us. The impression can't be not deep."
Pei Clan Head Furen opened her mouth, but didn't know how to respond. Because she didn't know about this matter at all. Pinching her handkerchief, her entire person appeared anxious and uneasy. In the end, she could only directly say what she wanted to say the most, "This commoner, can this commoner see Wangye?"
"This is the reason why you sent the invitation in the name of Pei Clan Head?" Jingwan meaningfully looked at the six young ladies of Pei Shi, "Lao Taitai's mood is understandable, but I don't know how Lao Taitai sees me. Giving the invitation to me, knowing this layer of relationship, would she still not let you see Wangye?"
Pei Clan Head Furen was a bit speechless. It was their thoughts that were dirty.
Jingwan smiled, but this smile didn't reach her eyes. Turning around, she continued to unhurriedly trim her flowers. "Wangye is not here, Lao Taitai might as well come another day."
Hearing Jingwan send them off, Pei Clan Head Furen was somewhat at a loss and became more and more at a loss.
Pei Xiuying naturally knew her great-grandmother's temperament. She had always brooded over the matters of the past. As long as it involved something related, it was easy for her to panic and not know how to deal with it. She didn't have the least bit of the attitude that an aristocratic family's matriarch should have. In reality, compared to the matriarchs of other aristocratic families, her own great-grandmother was actually a bit lacking. Whether it was ability or skill, she was lacking. Other than her natural temperament, the most important thing was that her great-grandfather was too powerful.
If this continued, don't talk about achieving the goal, it could make the relationship even more strained.
Pei Xiuying stood up, "Wangfei niang, great-grandmother is Wangye's maternal grandmother. Aren't you afraid that Wangye will be angry?"
Jingwan said, "The entire capital knows that Jin Wangye's birth mother, the Imperial Gui Fei of that year, was an unknown orphan who was deeply loved by the Emperor. As long as the palace was there, an exception was made and she was conferred the title of Imperial Gui Fei. Does she have a relationship with Jiangnan's number one aristocratic family? Wangye is now 23 years old. In the capital, there has never been a so-called maternal family. "
"It's not that great-grandfather and great-grandmother don't care about Wangye. Several grandfathers also miss Wangye and have been paying attention to him these past few years. It's just that for some reason, they …"
"Enough," Jingwan rudely interrupted her, "When Qi Yuan was first established, Pei Clan was lofty and unwilling to assist the new ruler. They stayed away from the court and didn't want to have any relationship with the Imperial Family. This was your position, the rules set by your Pei Clan ancestors. Since you can disregard the familial ties of your own flesh and blood for this broken rule, then please remain lofty to the end. The rules have been set, but now you're here, what is the meaning of this? Wangye is a descendant of the Heavenly Crown. Is it something that you can recognize or not recognize? What kind of people are you? "
As she was connected to Li Hongyuan's heart, she knew that no matter how many people coveted him, he wouldn't have anyone else. Therefore, although Jingwan felt uncomfortable with these demons and monsters, as long as they didn't come knocking on her door, she wouldn't care. However, when it came to Li Hongyuan, she truly felt sorry for him. It would be fine if Pei Clan was sincere to him, but in reality, she only wanted to make use of him. When she couldn't achieve her goal, she began to scheme. What was the point of having such a group of so-called family members? It would be better if they were all dead.
They probably didn't expect her to suddenly flip out, so everyone was a little frightened. However, Pei Xiuying had been taught by the Pei Clan Head in certain aspects, so she didn't have stage fright. She looked straight at Jingwan and said, "There are some things that Your Highness can't decide. Before I left, great-grandfather gave me something that I need to present to Wangye personally. "
"Is that so? Alright, then let Wangye personally say it. Just for the sake of Old Lady. "In the entire Pei Clan, the only one who truly cared about her husband was this person. "— — Go see if Wangye has returned. If he has returned, ask Wangye to come over."
Did Li Hongyuan go out? Naturally, he didn't. However, it was true that he had guests. Pei Clan's people came here and Min Yuhan also arrived. Although he knew that Jin Qinwang wouldn't suffer a loss, he still couldn't help but worry. He couldn't sit still at home and directly paid a visit.
In Li Hongyuan's view, his wife was more than enough to send those people away. Now, he needed to go out himself?
"That Pei Clan Old Lady seems to simply want to see Wangye. I think Wangfei's heart was moved." Gong Mama explained.
"She's just soft-hearted." In Li Hongyuan's view, that so-called maternal grandmother was sincere or fake. Whether she was sad or hurt, it had nothing to do with him. However, since his wife wanted him to see her, then let him see her. Li Hongyuan got up and said to Min Yuhan: "Do as you wish."
"Wangye, can this commoner also go and take a look? That Pei Clan Old Lady is also considered an elder."
Li Hongyuan glanced at him, "Do as you wish."
Jin Qinwang appeared quickly. Everyone knew whether he had gone out or not. In fact, everyone was well aware.
However, Min Yuhan didn't appear with him and temporarily disappeared. Li Hongyuan also didn't pay attention to him.
Hei Mei and Baishao brought a chair for Li Hongyuan. Li Hongyuan lifted his robe and sat down directly. Everyone greeted him.
Li Hongyuan waved his hand perfunctorily, "Alright. You want to see Benwang? Now that you've seen me, quickly say what you want to say. "
Looking at Li Hongyuan at such a close distance, the Pei Clan Head's wife was simply dazed for a moment. She stared at him blankly, but only a few steps away. She reached out her trembling hand as if she wanted to touch him. However, when she met Li Hongyuan's cold and emotionless gaze, she seemed to sober up a little and trembled as she withdrew her hand. However, her tears couldn't stop rolling down. She looked like she wanted to stop it, but the more she tried, the more powerless she was.
Unfortunately, even so, Li Hongyuan still didn't have the slightest bit of emotional fluctuation.
Jingwan looked carefully. Her husband and the Pei Clan Head's wife looked very similar. It was just that one was old and the other was in his prime. If one didn't look carefully, one wouldn't be able to tell. The most obvious thing was the eyes. However, the charm in the eyes was as different as heaven and earth. It was said that two people who were exactly the same, one's eyes could be weak and helpless, while the other's eyes could be firm and cold. The feeling they gave people was as different as heaven and earth. After taking a few more glances, she felt her interest waning. If it was someone else, Jingwan might have sympathized with them. But if it was someone from the Pei family, she was sorry. Right now, her heart was like a rock. She couldn't soften even if she wanted to. Turning her head, she cut another branch with a snap.
"Come, send the guests out." Li Hongyuan was not interested in wasting time like this.
The Pei Clan Head's wife felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She cried even more uncontrollably, "Mommy, Mommy, I'm sorry, I'm sorry …" She looked like she was about to die.
The Pei Clan's maidens rushed forward to support her. They poured water for her and tried to calm her down. However, Li Hongyuan, Jingwan, and their subordinates looked on coldly.
"Your Highness's heart is too cold. Great-grandmother has been blaming you all these years. She often washes her face with tears …" Pei Yingying frowned and looked at Li Hongyuan disapprovingly. She had a fearless aura. It was as if she dared to face anything for her great-grandmother.
Li Hongyuan looked at her. She didn't give in to his gaze. However, from Jingwan's point of view, she could see Pei Yingying slightly adjust her standing posture. She thought about it. If she was in Li Hongyuan's position, she should be able to see her most perfect side. If it were other men, they would most likely be attracted by her fearless and peerless beauty. Then, they would hook up and roll together.
Jingwan clicked her tongue in her heart. It could only be said that the fallen flower was interested in the heartless brook. Moreover, what kind of person was Li Hongyuan? He could be seduced by such means. As expected …
"Jumping clown." Li Hongyuan's voice was as cold as ice. He looked at Pei Yingying as if he was looking at a dead person.
Pei Yingying's body trembled. All of her aura collapsed. She was still the same person. Her posture didn't change much. However, it felt like she was in a difficult situation.
This was the result of being fearless in front of the King of Hell!
Pei Clan's Furen kept looking at Li Hongyuan. In the end, she forcibly supported herself and didn't fall down. Looking at her great-granddaughter who was completely suppressed by Li Hongyuan, her heart couldn't bear it. She shakily reached out to hold Pei Yingying's hand.
Pei Yingying held her hand and turned around. She seemed to naturally bend over, "Great-grandmother, how are you?"
Seeing that Pei Yingying was concerned about her, but it was pitifully little. She was using this opportunity to get rid of her awkward situation. Although her heart was already cold towards this great-granddaughter, at this time, her heart couldn't help but twitch in pain. However, she was very sober now. For the sake of her grandson's reputation, she absolutely couldn't fall down here. She forced herself to stand up, "Everything is this commoner's fault. Today, I have disturbed Wangye and Wangfei. I will take my leave."
Leave? How could Pei Yingying leave? She had already realized that Jin Qinwang wasn't a person who could be captivated by beauty. But the more it was like this, the more she wanted to conquer him. However, she had already left a bad impression on him. If she wanted to go further, she must first stay. "Great-grandmother, don't be anxious. — — Great-grandfather has a gift for Wangye. Wangye might as well take a look. "
At this moment, Jingwan's impression of this beauty completely fell to the bottom. As long as it was a discerning person, they could see that her great-grandmother wasn't good. For her own purpose, she could still forcibly waste her time here. According to her understanding, Pei Clan's Furen loved this great-granddaughter very much. She really had the heart of a wolf and the lungs of a dog. She was worse than a beast. She really was like that old thing Pei Clan's Furen, selfish and self-centered.
"Mama, send someone to invite the fu's doctor to come over and examine Old Lady."
Li Hongyuan glanced at his wife and roughly understood her meaning. This gift might be Old Pei's conceited trump card. He slightly raised his chin and gestured.
Mu Gonggong stepped forward and carefully took a small palm-sized box that Pei Yingying took out from her sleeve. It wasn't that he was afraid of touching the girl's hand. His expression was that he was afraid of touching something dirty.
Pei Yingying withdrew her hand and clenched it in her sleeve. Whether it was Jingwan asking someone to invite the doctor or Mu Gonggong's action, it was like slapping her face. She had never felt so ashamed and indignant. Then, the other hand that was originally held by her great-grandmother was released. Without looking, Pei Yingying seemed to be able to feel her great-grandmother's disappointment. But she gritted her teeth and held on. She told herself that she couldn't show her cowardice, absolutely couldn't show her cowardice.
From beginning to end, she slightly raised her chin and maintained her dignity and pride, as if to tell everyone that she was right!
