Chapter 816: Drunk
After watching the princess and Xia Jingui leave the flower hall, the three people at the table looked at each other in silence for a while.
In fact, Xia Jingui's proactive and passionate behavior just now was too unusual, making people feel a little at a loss for what to do.
Shui Rong, in particular, felt a little lost deep down in his heart - when his sister-in-law was flirting with him in the morning, he was secretly pleased with himself, but now, seeing how Sun Shaozong was treated, he couldn't help but feel jealous.
Lang Ge'er is fine. Although he is thin and a little old, he is still handsome.
How could Sun Shaozong, a big and strong man, have such a romantic encounter?
Little did he know that this was not the first time they met, and that big and strong man's physique was a hundred times better known to him than he knew it.
Fortunately, Shui Rong didn't forget that he was trying to win over Sun Shaozong today because of some bitterness. He suppressed his guilty conscience a little, and said with a wink, "Brother Sun is really a hero. This is the first time we met, and he has made my sister-in-law lose her composure."
Without waiting for Sun Shaozong to respond, he waved his hand again: "Come on, prepare a banquet!"
As soon as he finished speaking, music started playing on both sides of the hall.
The several concubines who had been serving by his side all left their seats and walked away.
Just when Sun Shaozong thought that they were going outside to bring in wine and food, the four concubines lined up in a row in the empty space in front of the door and began to undress.
Sun Shaozong was startled and stood up quickly: "Your Majesty, this is..."
"Brother Sun, please sit down."
Shui Rong smiled indifferently and said, "Since we are hosting a banquet to entertain Brother Sun, how can there not be dancing and music? Although my concubines are not as pretty as the beauties in Brother Sun's family, they were trained by the palace and have quite some desirable qualities."
When he mentioned the word 'inside', he couldn't help but reveal the lewdness that is unique to men, and it was obviously not referring to his dancing skills.
He even had the eunuchs in the palace specially trained him...
While Sun Shaozong was speechless, he couldn't help but be attracted by the movements of the concubines slowly undressing.
Even if he traveled through time again, he would not understand the hobby of using his concubine to entertain guests, but since the host did not care, it would be too disrespectful for him to put on airs like a hypocrite.
Although they said they were undressing, the four concubines would naturally not take off all their clothes in public.
What was taken off was only the restraints on the outside, which were not very thick to begin with. Inside, there was not only a layer of thin gauze, but also a bellyband and other things to cover it.
But it is precisely this hazy, half-hidden action that attracts so much attention.
When the veil was revealed inch by inch, the four concubines faced each other in pairs. Two of them lifted a white leg high from the veil, raising it to the chest.
The other two immediately stepped forward, held the heels of the embroidered shoes with their chests, then lowered their heads, wrapped their deft tongues around the buckles on the shoes, and gently took the shoes off.
this……
Everything else was fine, but her skill in unbuttoning was worthy of being trained in the palace.
Sun Shaozong had seen this before, but he was still often shocked by the deeds of these princes and nobles. At this moment, just looking at the scene of them taking off their clothes and shoes made his blood boil.
pity……
Not to mention his wives and concubines, even if it was a maid he had had affairs with, Sun Shaozong would never let anyone train her, even if it was a eunuch.
But this craft is indeed...
Or ask a eunuch with connections to write a textbook or something?
Forget it. I am a man who stands tall and proud, but it would be really bad if it got out that I was asking a eunuch for advice on how to control women.
…
However, just as Sun Shaozong was getting excited, Princess Beijing Wei Ying and Xia Jingui also returned to a small courtyard nearby.
Wei Ying dismissed her attendants and sat on an embroidered cushion, staring blankly out the door without saying a word for a long time.
Xia Jingui stood aside, but did not say a word to disturb them. She just had a pretty look in her eyes and smiled softly, and no one knew what she was thinking about.
After a long while, Wei Ying finally withdrew her gaze, first glanced at Xia Jingui, then sighed as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.
"elder sister."
Xia Jingui immediately guessed what she was going to say, and immediately put her hand on her shoulder, saying softly: "The arrow is on the string now, success or failure depends on this move, you must not back down."
Wei Ying looked up at her again, then lowered her head and said, "If he goes south to fight, there is no need to...any more..."
After a few more times, the sound gradually became inaudible. It was obvious that she was also struggling in her heart and had not made up her mind.
Xia Jingui had been asking her questions indirectly over the past few days and had already roughly figured out what she was thinking.
If the case had not been brought directly to court to help Wei Ruolan change her confession, even if Wei Ying had a "hundred-day marriage" with Sun Shaozong, it would only have accumulated resentment.
However, Sun Shaozong's unconventional behavior made her feel confused and puzzled, and she couldn't help but delve deeper into Sun Shaozong.
If Sun Shaozong was just a shameless villain who would take revenge for any slight, then there would be nothing to worry about if we looked into it more deeply.
Judging from what this Lord Sun has done in recent years, it is not an exaggeration to call him a hero of the time.
My cousin was born into a family of generals and was well-trained in riding and shooting. What she admired most in her life were the heroes and generals who fought on the battlefield.
It would be even more perfect if one could have the wisdom to destroy the enemy's sails and masts in the midst of laughter and conversation.
Although Sun Shaozong cannot fit into this template 100%, at least 70% to 80% of it is fine.
On the other hand, Beijing Prince Shui Rong may have had some heroic spirit before, but because of the affairs of the Niu family in the past two years, he has become a frightened bird.
If not for this, he would not have been in such a hurry to win over Sun Shaozong.
Therefore, this in-depth investigation and comparison, coupled with the fact that Wei Ruolan escaped from the cage, turned the simple resentment into an entanglement of grievances that was difficult to cut off.
Of course, a considerable part of this was because after Wei Ruolan was released from prison, Prince Beijing Shui Rong's behavior and words vaguely confirmed Wei Ying's original guess - the reason why Lang Ge'er was wrongly imprisoned was definitely related to Shui Rong.
This made Wei Ying feel ashamed of losing her chastity when facing Shui Rong, but also resentful that he disregarded the relationship between husband and wife.
Over time, the mixture of resentment and shame made her feel a sense of "revenge" deep in her heart.
In short, Wei Ying now feels five parts hatred for Sun Shaozong, mixed with two parts of vague admiration, and the remaining three parts are the hesitation and entanglement between betrayal and revenge .
If he was stupid, he would take advantage of Wei Ying's confusion and urge her to carry out the plan they had already made.
Although Xia Jingui did not have much wisdom, she was as good at guessing people's hearts as Wang Xifeng in Rongguo Mansion.
She knew that if she really pushed Wei Ying, she might develop a rebellious mentality and become more determined not to meet Sun Shaozong.
So when she saw Wei Ying was silent and hesitant, she did not rush him. Instead, she sighed, sat down opposite Wei Ying quietly, fiddled with the teapot on top, and whispered, "If you don't want to see him, then don't see him. It's just..."
"Just what?"
"I just want to ask my sister to help me this time and let me have a few words with him alone before we say goodbye."
As she spoke, Xia Jingui sighed again: "After all, he is my first and only man."
Wei Ying fell silent again. She actually knew that what Xia Jingui said was not entirely true, but she subconsciously did not want to think too much about it.
After an unknown amount of time, Wei Ying finally spoke: "Well, just consider it as me fulfilling your wish today - someone come here!"
As she called out, her personal maid Nian Xia immediately came in and asked respectfully, "What do you want, Madam?"
"When you have a chance, ask the prince to come over and tell him that I have something important to discuss with him."
Wei Ying gave instructions lightly, but her ten fingers were entangled in her sleeves until they turned blue and red.
Nian Xia did not doubt it, and responded respectfully immediately, then went to the flower hall to pass on the message.
…
At this time, a banquet was in full swing in the flower hall. Four concubines were dancing around the table, showing off their prime years and curvy figures.
Shui Rong and Sun Shaozong were fine. They were used to the softness and fragrance of jade on a daily basis, so they didn't lose their composure in the face of this level of temptation.
Wei Ruolan had just been in prison for more than two years, and in recent days he had followed the doctor's advice and had not been close to any woman. When he was teased at this moment, he could hardly control himself.
Although this guy has the reputation of being a playboy, he is a man who cannot let go. No matter how impulsive he is, he dare not be rude to his brother-in-law's concubine.
So he could only drink cup after cup of sweet wine, suppressing the swelling of his body and mind.
Although this sweet wine was soft at first, it had a strong aftertaste, so while Sun Shaozong and the other man were still chatting animatedly, he was already drunk with a crooked mouth and squinting eyes.
As she was drunk, her whole body was becoming increasingly hot and uncomfortable. Seeing a white arm dancing wildly in front of her, Wei Ruolan could no longer bear the desire in her heart and pounced on it.
Unexpectedly, he missed and staggered forward a few steps before crashing into the arms of a woman.
At this point, why would he care who got the reward?
He immediately clasped his hands together and restrained the other person tightly.
"Oh, Master, you can't do that!"
A familiar scream rushed into my ears, followed by the laughter of Shui Rong and Sun Shaozong.
Wei Ruolan raised her head in confusion and looked carefully for a while , then she realized that the person she was hugging was not someone else, but Nian Xia, who had served her sister since childhood.
He immediately panicked again, hurriedly loosened his arms, stumbled back a few steps, and then sat back in his original position, rolling his eyes and reeking of alcohol.
"Hahaha... Brother Lang is really drunk!"
Shui Rong laughed loudly, but there was a hint of drunkenness in his words. However, he still had his rationality. He knew that Nian Xia came here at this time because the princess must have some instructions.
He immediately gave a look and called Nian Xia to his side.
After hearing Nian Xia's whisper, Shui Rong frowned slightly, wondering why the princess called him over at this time.
But he felt that they had been getting along very well recently, so he couldn't refuse Wei Ying's call, so he stood up and apologized, "Brother Sun, please wait a moment. I will be back soon."
Having said that, he left the table and walked to the door.
Nian Xia hurriedly took out a hooded cloak and put it on with him.
Watching the master and servant disappear in the wind and snow outside the door, Sun Shaozong frowned and began to wonder what tricks were hidden in today's banquet.
Because he just saw a vague image and heard that it was Wei Ying calling Shui Rong over.
Could it be...
wrong!
If she dared to tell the truth, she wouldn't have waited until today.
Then why did the long-legged princess call Shui Rong over at this time?
"My Lord~"
As he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt his legs sinking and heat rushing to his ears. At the same time, there was a long bent leg between the waist and abdomen - it turned out to be a concubine, who took the initiative to sit in his arms.
Gently rubbing Sun Shaozong's waist with her knees, the concubine said in a sweet voice: "Since the prince is not here, how about I drink a cup with you?"
She was breathing hot air in a hazy and charming manner, but the arm that was hooked around Sun Shaozong's neck was cold, like tender jade.
The alternation of cold and hot makes people want to explore further whether her body is warm or cold.
But Sun Shaozong stared at her for a while, then smiled, lifted her body from his legs with one hand, and put her into Wei Ruolan's arms without any reluctance.
"Let's have a drink with Brother Wei first."
Although they are called concubines, these women are actually no different from the prostitutes kept in Prince Beijing’s mansion.
As for prostitutes, Sun Shaozong always just watched them from afar and never played with them.
