Volume 6: Dream Record Chapter 411 Yuan Xudong is really too much
In the backyard of Gao's mansion, peach blossoms were in full bloom, and the fragrance was overwhelming. Gao Hui, dressed in a white plain dress and holding a blue shawl, stood for a long time in front of a blossoming peach tree, with bright eyes, white teeth, and powdered eyebrows. At this moment, her personal maid Chun Tao came to report:
"Miss, Master Xiao is here!"
"Okay, no one found out, right?"
"No, Ah Si took him through a side door!"
As she spoke, Gao Hui turned and walked out of the peach forest. Her maid Chuntao followed closely behind her and advised:
"Miss, if the master and the mistress knew about this, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of? Isn't it okay to just not let them know?"
Gao Hui couldn't help but roll her eyes at the cowardly Chun Tao, and then quickly walked towards a pavilion outside the peach forest. Under the silvery moonlight, Yuan Xudong was standing in the pavilion waiting for Gao Hui. Seeing Gao Hui approaching, he took the lead in bowing and said respectfully:
"Mrs. Gao!"
"Mr. Xiao!"
Gao Hui bowed slightly and said respectfully:
"Master Xiao, it's late at night and the dew is heavy. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. If I have offended you in any way, please don't blame me, Master Xiao!"
Yuan Xudong smiled and said concisely:
"Okay, Ah Hui, feel free to say whatever you want to say. It doesn't matter even if you're wrong. I, Xiao Fan, never argue with women, especially beautiful women!"
"you……"
Gao Hui glared fiercely at Yuan Xudong who spoke frivolously. What kind of person is this? He was so polite just now, but now he suddenly becomes as rude as a lecher. What an unreasonable playboy!
After all, she needed help from others, so Gao Hui could only suppress her disgust and said unhappily:
"Master Xiao, Ah Hui has something to ask of me, Master Xiao..."
"No!"
Before Gao Hui could finish her words, Yuan Xudong interrupted her and said, Gao Hui was shocked:
"You, what did you say?"
Looking at Gao Hui's shocked expression, Yuan Xudong couldn't help but smile and said it again:
"I said I don't agree!"
"you……"
Gao Hui was rejected by Yuan Xudong before she even said anything. She couldn't help but said angrily:
"I haven't even told you what it is, why are you refusing?"
"Well……"
Looking at the angry Gao Hui, Yuan Xudong pretended to be confused and said:
"I can't refuse? Well, go on, and I'll think about it after you've finished speaking!"
"you……"
Gao Hui suppressed her anger, her plump breasts heaving up and down with anger. She glared at Yuan Xudong fiercely and said:
"I bought your friend's painting of the night banquet for Xu Lang!"
As she spoke, she took out a piece of white jade from her sleeve and handed it to Yuan Xudong, saying:
"This is the top-quality white jade that the government gave to my aunt, and my aunt gave it to me. It is worth a thousand gold coins. It should be enough to exchange for your friend's painting of the night banquet, right?"
"Let me see!"
Yuan Xudong took two steps forward and took the top-grade mutton-fat white jade from Gao Hui's hand. It felt soft and delicate, and the jade was transparent. It was indeed a top-grade jade. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Yuan Xudong played with the mutton-fat jade in his hand and said with a smile:
"From the perspective of the value of the object itself, it is indeed enough, and it can even be said to be more than enough. However, although the jade is nice, it is not what I need. The Night Banquet is priceless to me, and it also has important political significance. From this perspective, Ah Hui's white jade seems a little too cheap!"
"What?"
Hearing Yuan Xudong say that his own Baoyu was too insignificant compared to the Night Banquet, Gao Hui couldn't help but get angry:
"If you don't know anything about jade, don't talk nonsense. This is mutton-fat jade bestowed by the emperor. It is very rare in the world. How can it be inferior to your friend's painting of the night banquet?"
"Well, I'll tell you the truth!"
Yuan Xudong sighed deliberately. He glanced at the little girl who had been standing behind Gao Hui, then looked at Gao Hui with a serious expression and said:
"The Night Banquet is a matter of great importance. I can only tell you, Yu Ah Hui!"
"What?"
Hearing that Yuan Xudong wanted to be alone with her, Gao Hui was slightly stunned, and the maid Chuntao beside her said anxiously:
"Miss!"
"Chun Tao, please go down first. If there is anything, I will call you later!"
"All right!"
After taking one last look at Yuan Xudong, the maid Chuntao left the peach garden with some worry. In the huge peach garden, Yuan Xudong and Gao Hui were left alone. Yuan Xudong glanced at the somewhat timid Gao Hui and said with a smile:
"Ah Hui, you and I are alone together in the middle of the night. If this gets out, won't you be worried?"
"Ahui is of course worried about her own reputation, but she is more worried about Xulang. Please don't make things difficult for him, Mr. Xiao!"
Gao Hui looked at Yuan Xudong and pleaded. Upon hearing this, Yuan Xudong couldn't help but curl his lips and said:
"That Ouyang Xu is not a gentleman. He had a fiancée in Qiantang and was supported by her for three years. Now that he has passed the imperial examination, he is ungrateful and breaks off the engagement just to get close to your Gao family. Do you like such a hypocrite?"
"What?"
Hearing Yuan Xudong expose Ouyang Xu's scandal, Gao Hui couldn't help but wonder:
"Is Xu Lang's fiancée the friend you mentioned? Did she come to our Gao family's door the other day?"
"good!"
Seeing that Gao Hui also had some doubts, Yuan Xudong said directly:
"In order to find the Night Banquet Painting, I went to Qiantang County. Through a series of coincidences, Pan'er and I met each other. She was the one that Ouyang Xu regretted not marrying. The Night Banquet Painting was also in her hands, but she gave it to Ouyang Xu and brought it to Tokyo. Uncle De, an old servant of the Ouyang family, went to Qiantang to show off that Ouyang Xu had hooked up with your Gao family, and that it was the virtuous concubine in the palace who granted the marriage. Pan'er was so angry that she rushed to Tokyo with me. Two days ago, she came to the Gao Mansion to look for Ouyang Xu, but was tricked away by Ouyang Xu who happened to come. That's basically what happened. If you want to meet Pan'er in two days, I can introduce you, provided that you and Ouyang Xu no longer have any relationship!"
After listening to Yuan Xudong, Gao Hui was silent for a while, and said with a complicated expression:
"Mr. Xiao, can I meet the lady you mentioned named Pan'er right now?"
"No, at least not yet!"
"Why?"
Seeing that Yuan Xudong disagreed, Gao Hui couldn't help but said anxiously:
"I can disguise myself as a young lady from an ordinary family, and I promise I will never embarrass Miss Pan'er. How about that?"
"No, it's too late now. I have to leave Tokyo tomorrow to go back to my old house to worship my ancestors. Let's talk about it after I return to Tokyo!"
"Okay!"
After looking at Yuan Xudong, Gao Hui hesitated and said:
"Mr. Xiao, you and that young lady named Pan'er are..."
"She is my savior and also my confidante!"
“I see!”
Gao Hui paused for a moment and said:
"Master Xiao, that night banquet painting..."
"Oh, I almost forgot!"
Yuan Xudong looked at Gao Hui and said solemnly:
"Ah Hui, the Night Banquet involves secrets in the palace and is of great importance. If I tell you, can you promise not to tell anyone else?"
Having said that, before Gao Hui could speak, Yuan Xudong added:
"You can't tell anyone, including Ouyang Xu and your father. Can you really do that?"
"Yes, I swear!"
Looking at Yuan Xudong, Gao Hui raised her hand and swore:
"God above, and the Queen of Earth below, I, Gao Hui, swear here that I will never tell anyone else what Master Xiao told me tonight. If I break this oath, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
"Okay, then I'll tell you!"
After Gao Hui finished her oath, Yuan Xudong walked up to her and whispered in her ear:
"Recently, there are rumors that the queen has lost her virginity, and that the female ruler Chang has predicted the prophecy of King Xuewu. These are all unfavorable to the current queen, but there is no actual evidence. Those Qingliu ministers who oppose the queen's interference in government affairs can only make a few noises, but privately everyone is looking for evidence of the queen's loss of virginity. The difference is that some people are trying to maintain the queen's authority as the mother of the country, while others are trying to dethrone the queen.
This has nothing to do with the Queen herself. It's just that some people are doing this for their own benefit and the benefit of their camp. Your Gao family has a virtuous concubine, which is also considered a foreign relative. It's best not to wade into this muddy water. The government has always been wary of military officers and royal relatives, but your Gao family has two of them. If you are involved in the case of the Queen's loss of virginity in the palace, I'm not trying to scare you, but if you're not careful, it's not impossible for your Gao family to be confiscated and exterminated by the government!"
"What?"
After listening to Yuan Xudong's words, Gao Hui was shocked to learn that the Night Banquet was actually related to the loss of virginity before marriage by the powerful Empress Liu in the palace. Yuan Xudong took the opportunity to say:
"Okay, that's basically it. The Night Banquet Map is of great importance, I must get it. Please keep it a secret, Hui, and don't tell anyone else, so as to avoid causing immeasurable consequences and ultimately harming others and yourself!"
"Why did you tell me?"
Gao Hui came back to her senses and looked at Yuan Xudong and asked:
"This matter is of great importance. My father is a military officer in the court, and my aunt is a virtuous concubine in the palace. Aren't you afraid that I will tell them about this matter?"
"Why should I be afraid?"
Looking at Gao Hui, Yuan Xudong asked directly:
"Besides, you've already sworn not to tell anyone else. Will you tell your father and aunt?"
"That's hard to say!"
Looking at Yuan Xudong who was full of confidence, Gao Hui deliberately said to him:
"You also know that my aunt is the virtuous concubine in the palace. She is usually the most favored by the emperor. If Empress Liu really falls out of favor, then my aunt will become the queen, right?"
As she spoke, seeing Yuan Xudong's grim expression (pretending), Gao Hui couldn't help but say proudly:
"And your father, Prime Minister Xiao, was dismissed by the Emperor and sent out of the capital. Your father was appointed Prime Minister again because the Empress strongly recommended him to the Emperor. If there is any problem with the Empress, your Xiao family will also be greatly implicated, right?"
"yes!"
Looking at the complacent Gao Hui, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Such a big handle has fallen into Ah Hui's hands. Ah Hui, what do you want from me?"
"Don't call me Ah Hui!"
Hearing Yuan Xudong calling her Ah Hui so intimately again, Gao Hui couldn't help but glared at him fiercely and stretched out her right hand and said:
"Give me back the jade pendant!"
Hearing this, Yuan Xudong smiled as he played with the white jade that Gao Hui had originally intended to exchange for the Night Banquet Painting:
"What jade pendant?"
"Don't try to cheat! "
Gao Hui glared at Yuan Xudong and pointed at the white jade in his hand and said angrily:
"That jade pendant in your hand is a birthday gift from my aunt. Please return it to me quickly!"
"All right!"
After taking a look at the white jade in his hand, Yuan Xudong returned his hand to Gao Hui and said with a smile:
"It's just a nice-looking stone. Look how anxious you are. You are so stingy!"
"What do you know? This is top-grade white jade, used by the royal family. You can't buy it even if you have money!"
Gao Hui gave Yuan Xudong a blank look and without any suspicion reached out to take the white jade in his hand. Just when her fingertips just touched the fine white jade, Yuan Xudong suddenly took his hand and grasped her fingertips, and pulled her into his arms with a little force. Gao Hui lost her balance and fell into Yuan Xudong's arms. It happened so suddenly that Gao Hui couldn't react to what was happening before she was hugged by Yuan Xudong. When she reacted and was about to scream, Yuan Xudong covered her mouth in time.
Held in Yuan Xudong's strong arms and with her mouth covered by him, Gao Hui could only struggle in vain, whimpering sounds coming from her mouth, her eyes filled with fear, and she felt extremely regretful. She shouldn't have disobeyed her parents and been alone with a man in the middle of the night.
Yuan Xudong didn't know what Gao Hui was thinking. He just wanted to teach Gao Hui a memorable lesson. He held Gao Hui in his arms, covered her mouth, and whispered in her ear:
"Ah Hui, I suddenly realized that you have my secrets and leverage, but I don't have yours. Isn't this a bad thing?"
“Woo woo…”
"You don't feel well either?"
Looking at Gao Hui's frightened eyes, Yuan Xudong self-righteously understood what she meant, and the two reached a consensus. While Yuan Xudong was looking Gao Hui up and down, Gao Hui was twisting and turning in his arms. Inadvertently, Gao Hui's plain dress was slightly open, revealing the pink tube top embroidered with peach blossoms underneath, which instantly attracted Yuan Xudong's attention.
Yuan Xudong could swear on his own character that he absolutely did not want to take advantage of Gao Hui. It was just that Gao Hui was young and beautiful, and had the temperament of a young lady from an official family which was very different from Zhao Pan'er. She was twisting and turning in Yuan Xudong's arms. What's more, she was now Ouyang Xu's fiancée. Yuan Xudong suddenly became interested. He wanted to taste her!
"Mr. Xiao, don't..."
After a long time of lingering, Yuan Xudong reluctantly let go of her delicate lips and turned to kiss her fair neck, and then went all the way down...
Harmony passed, all evils retreated, the moon hid in the dark clouds, and Yuan Xudong finally let Gao Hui go. The piece of fine white jade was returned to her. Yuan Xudong only took one of her underwear as a handle. In fact, Yuan Xudong didn't care whether Gao Hui would keep it secret, and he didn't care about the queen's loss of virginity. He just wanted the Night Banquet Picture to complete the system task. The reason why he wanted to threaten Gao Hui was purely personal interest. If you want to bully someone, you have to have an excuse, right?
In the backyard of Gao's house, after Yuan Xudong left, Gao Hui clutched the white jade in one hand and covered her chest with the other, crying loudly. The maid Chuntao beside her said anxiously:
"Miss, what happened to you? Did Young Master Xiao bully you? Tell me quickly and I will tell the master right away!"
"don't want!"
When Gao Hui heard that the maid Chuntao was going to tell her father, she immediately grabbed her and sobbed:
"I'm fine. You are not allowed to tell anyone about this. Do you hear me?"
"I heard you, miss!"
Looking at her poor and helpless young lady, Chuntao wiped her tears, helped her up and assured her:
"Chun Tao won't tell anyone!"
"good!"
Gao Hui was supported by Chuntao and walked back to the room. Thinking of what Yuan Xudong had done, she couldn't help but feel ashamed and hateful. She looked at the maid Chuntao and ordered:
"Chun Tao, go get some hot water. I want to take a bath!"
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
…
About a quarter of an hour later, Gao Hui's room was filled with half a bucket of warm water, sprinkled with flower petals for bathing. Gao Hui took off her clothes and lay down in the bucket. A graceful figure could be vaguely seen in the mist. She was bathing in the bucket, pouring water on her body. The maid Chuntao was packing her clothes beside the wooden bucket. Soon, the maid Chuntao couldn't find the bellyband that her young lady was wearing, so she couldn't help asking:
"Miss, where is your bellyband embroidered with peach blossoms? I can't find it."
"Forget it, stop looking!"
Gao Hui vigorously scrubbed the parts of her body that were stained with someone's saliva, blushing and saying:
"Just think of it as if it was taken away by a dog!"
"Did the dog take it?"
"Um!"
