Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream
Chapter 329 Wei Dongbi's Treason
They went to Guanzhuang first and then came to the capital.
Although Nangong Huajing did not come to the capital as Emperor Haoyue, it was different from before. He still entered the palace to pay homage to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and thank the Tang Dynasty for its help.
The emperor ordered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to host a banquet to warmly entertain Nangong Huajing.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hosted a banquet in the new mansion to entertain Nangong Huajing, and asked Li Yuyan and Li Yunze to accompany him. He also invited the wives of the two men to accompany him, so that Nangong Huajing's fiancée could complement each other.
Wei Bingyan hesitated and didn't want to go. Ever since she learned from Anxiang that the Sixth Prince didn't seem to treat her the same as others, she tried her best to avoid places related to the Sixth Prince.
Guan Mengxin pulled her and told her that she must go, otherwise she would not go. She was a woman of the world and was very unfamiliar with this kind of banquet, let alone getting along with these noble ladies. She was afraid of making a fool of herself.
Forget it, she just walked and sat upright, and pretended that she had never heard Anxiang say that. She would just treat the Sixth Prince with courtesy as always. Avoiding him intentionally might be even worse.
The Sixth Prince entertained Nangong Huajing in the courtyard, while Wei Bingyan and the others were talking in the tea room on the other side.
Since the Sixth Prince had not yet married and had no concubines, there was no hostess in his mansion, so he invited the royal princess to help him host the banquet.
In addition to Wei Bingyan and Guan Mengxin, there were also Princess Su Yan and two other county ladies at the table, all of whom Wei Bingyan had seldom interacted with before. After exchanging a few polite words with each of them, she started talking to the people she was familiar with.
When Su Yanluan saw Wei Bingyan, her eyes could not hide her viciousness, and she wanted to pounce on Wei Bingyan and tear her into pieces.
Ever since Li Yunze knew that she had wanted to dispatch people to kill Wei Bingyan, he had become even more ruthless and distant towards her. He had not stepped into her house for more than two months. He also found a woman who looked somewhat like Wei Bingyan from somewhere. Every day in that bitch's house, she was so envious and jealous that she was almost going crazy and manic.
Wei Bingyan knew clearly that Su Yanluan had never liked her, and Li Yuyan hated her to the core, so when faced with Su Yanluan's sinister look, she remained indifferent, pretending that she did not see the other party's hostility.
Instead, Guan Mengxin noticed Su Yanluan's unusual behavior and asked softly in Wei Bingyan's ear, "Bingyan, when did you offend Princess Su Yan? When I look at her, I feel like she's about to swallow you up."
"I slapped her before." Wei Bingyan couldn't explain herself too clearly, so she just made a few simple excuses.
Guan Mengxin suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Bingyan, you are becoming more and more like a woman of Jianghu."
Su Yanluan didn't say a word to Wei Bingyan until the end of the banquet. Wei Bingyan naturally wouldn't take the initiative to speak. The men in the courtyard were still drinking. Wei Bingyan didn't want to face Su Yanluan for too long, so she asked Guan Mengxin if she needed to go for a walk outside.
Guan Mengxin was not used to this kind of place. After hearing Wei Bingyan say that, she immediately nodded vigorously.
The two of them walked casually in the small garden outside. Fortunately, the weather was clear today, otherwise it would be very cold, and they didn't want to get unlucky outside.
"Su Yanluan, why don't we go out for a walk?" The county lady, whose name was Mulian, asked Su Yanluan with a smile.
"If there's anything interesting outside, just go there." Su Yanluan was unwilling to go out like Wei Bingyan, and said with a gloomy face.
Lady Mulian noticed that she was in a gloomy mood and did not dare to say anything more. She went out chatting and laughing with the other lady.
Wei Bingyan and Guan Mengxin had been walking in the small garden for less than a moment when they saw a maid from the prince's mansion coming over with a beautifully lacquered plate. On the white porcelain plate was crystal clear olives, each one shiny and plump. They were a tribute from the Yamato and Japan not long ago.
The maid bowed to Wei Bingyan and said, "Your Highness said that Madam Li loves olives the most, so he deliberately asked me to bring some to you for you to taste."
Wei Bingyan was slightly stunned. How did the Sixth Prince know that she loved eating olives? He must have learned it from Anxiang.
Guan Mengxin took the exquisite dish from her hands and said with a smile, "I had it once last year and it was very delicious."
The maid bowed and stepped back.
"Bingyan, how does the Sixth Prince know that you like to eat olives?" Guan Mengxin picked one and put it in her mouth, smiling with satisfaction.
Wei Bingyan frowned and shook her head, "I guess it was Third Senior Brother who said that, so the Sixth Prince asked someone to send it over."
Guan Mengxin nodded and took Wei Bingyan to the corner pavilion to eat olives.
The two county ladies who had followed them out all the way saw this scene. They stared at each other and couldn't help but think in their hearts that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince valued Lord Xiao Li so much, otherwise why would he deliberately send olives to Mrs. Xiao Li.
It seems that the recent rumors are all blooming on trees.
The two men did not approach to disturb Wei Bingyan and the others, but walked back along the old way.
When she happened to run into Su Yanluan walking out of the main hall, Lady Mulian approached and said with a smile, "Su Yanluan, I advise you not to offend Master Xiao Li in the future. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks at her with new eyes. If you offend her, you will be sad instead."
Su Yanluan's brows furrowed as she listened, "What are you talking about?"
The two of them told Su Yanluan what they had just seen and heard.
That lowly girl is only getting more attention from the Sixth Prince because of her identity as Li Yuyan. Could it be that she is the same as Li Yunze, always thinking about other people's wives?
Suddenly, Su Yanluan's eyes moved slightly. It was unknown what she was thinking about, and a sinister, faint smile curved up her lips.
……
Three months passed in a flash, Nangong Huajing had already brought Guan Mengxin back to Haoyue. Wei Bingyan spent her days taking care of Abao and studying medical books with Mrs. Li. Her life was light, lively and happy. This was the life she had always pursued, without any incidents.
No one expected that the news that would destroy such a peaceful and beautiful day would come so quickly.
News came from the strong border areas in the north that Wei Dongbi had colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. He deliberately ordered people to open the city and lead the Rongdi lions to bloody exterminate the entire city, causing heavy casualties.
When this news reached the capital, it shocked everyone. During this period, the people of the Tang Dynasty were anxious to end the brutal war as soon as possible so that their relatives who had traveled to the powerful regions could return and reunite. They felt that such a day would come soon.
Who would have thought that the Tang Dynasty army, which had been so powerful, would rebel, causing the Tang Dynasty to lose two more cities in the north.
How could Wei Dongbi collude with the enemy and betray the country? Not to mention that the common people did not believe it, even the emperor did not believe it. Wei Dongbi was a brave general trained by him.
