Quick Wear: Bai Yueguang perfectly interprets the success of saving the world
Chapter 22 Princess (21)
Pei Shiyu naturally noticed the disrespectful gazes of Avna and her group, and also saw the strange woman sitting next to Jiang Huaixu, but he didn't care to pay attention to them. All his attention was on Yan Qing.
His aunt hadn't come to court meetings these past few days, and he thought that his aunt was displeased with him after knowing his true identity, and that was why she didn't want to see him.
Pei Shiyu did not dare to go to the princess's mansion. Although he had given up and no longer wanted to hide his edge, if his aunt showed any wrong emotions, it would make him very upset.
This time, he received the news in advance that his aunt would come to the celebration party, and he felt a little more relaxed.
No matter what, my aunt came and did not ignore him.
Now seeing that Yan Qing's expression was the same as usual and she even nodded to him gently, Pei Shiyu was completely relieved, but also felt inexplicably aggrieved.
However, the current occasion was not suitable for him to think too much, and Pei Shiyu could only suppress these complicated emotions and face everyone at the banquet.
The whispers in the banquet also quieted down after Pei Shiyu arrived.
After everyone saluted, Pei Shiyu told them not to be so reserved, and then everyone started talking in a low voice again, but their voices were much quieter than before he came.
There was nothing much to say at the celebration banquet. The actual rewards had been arranged at the morning court meeting, except that the person to marry Avna had not yet been decided.
Pei Shiyu didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't say that he wanted to take Avna as his concubine, but let her take a look around the capital first.
This gave Avna a lot of options.
Although he came to marry a princess, it was Jiang Huaixu, not the emperor of Dazhao, who made his father submit.
Her father had also anticipated that there would be a power struggle in Da Zhao after Jiang Huaixu returned to Beijing.
Therefore, before Afna came to Dazhao, her father had already told her not to pay too much attention to the emperor, and to try her best to reach cooperation with Jiang Huaixu. It would be even better if the marriage partner was him.
Of course, it would be best if both sides suffered losses, and then there would be a civil strife just like when the emperor suddenly passed away and all the princes under him wanted to rebel. Then the Huns could take this opportunity to counterattack again.
She was happy at that time, but now she has someone she loves, so she doesn't care much about Jiang Huaixu, and doesn't want to be close to him anymore.
But this matter still needs long-term consideration, and it is not easy for her to take that person away given his identity.
Avna lowered her eyes slightly and played with the bell in her hand.
It would be better to cooperate with Jiang Huaixu according to the plan. They will help him ascend the throne, and then the beauty will fall from grace and she can bring him back to the Huns.
Thinking of this, Avna was in a good mood, and she even looked at Pei Shiyu with more favor.
Yan Qing naturally didn't know that someone was thinking about her. She took a sip of warm tea and didn't say much. She just watched Pei Shiyu perform.
His methods are much more mature than before, and he is becoming more and more like the emperor's brother.
If there were no threat from Jiang Huaixu, Pei Shiyu would be able to grow into an independent emperor in time.
Yan Qing felt a little regretful. He was too eager last time, which led to the failure of the assassination. Now that Jiang Huaixu was on guard, it would be difficult to find another opportunity.
However, Jiang Huaixu was also poisoned by the "Bone-Eating Powder". This poison is hidden and should not be discovered. If it is discovered, she can only prepare a way out for Pei Shiyu while she is still alive.
It’s not that she didn’t believe in Pei Shiyu’s ability, but she knew Jiang Huaixu, and when she passed away, Pei Shiyu would definitely not be his opponent.
Pei Shiyu would have won if his opponent was different, but unfortunately it was Jiang Huaixu.
Yan Qing sighed softly. Her royal brother really gave her a difficult problem.
She put down the teacup in her hand and pressed her temple which was beginning to ache again. This body was a burden and it would not be able to hold on if she put in any effort.
The whispers at the banquet also bothered her, and Yan Qing wanted to go out for some fresh air to see if that would relieve her stress a little.
Before she left, she nodded to Pei Shiyu and then left the celebration banquet.
The sky was no longer half dark as it was when Yan Qing came, but had become completely dark. The moon was high in the sky, with a few stars twinkling in it.
It is a rare moment of tranquility.
However, the silence was interrupted by the sound of light footsteps. Pei Shiyu stood behind her and called her cautiously, "Aunt."
Yan Qing turned around, his tone as gentle as ever: "Your Majesty, won't you stay at the banquet for a while longer?"
Pei Shiyu lowered his head, making it impossible to see the expression on his face: "There's nothing important in there, and they won't feel comfortable with me staying there, and I'm afraid my aunt will leave..."
At the end of his words, he secretly looked up at Yan Qing, and his tone was a little aggrieved, just like a large dog abandoned by its owner.
Yan Qing was stunned, and immediately realized that he had misunderstood because he had not been to court for these days.
She wanted to rub Pei Shiyu's head like she did when she was a child, but before she knew it, he had become much taller than her, and she might have to stand on tiptoe to touch him.
It was not until this moment that Yan Qing completely realized that the person in front of her was no longer the child who needed her protection.
But his temperament hasn't changed at all, he's still the same as a child.
Yan Qing comforted him, "It's too stuffy in there, I just came out to get some fresh air."
Upon hearing this, Pei Shiyu, who had been in a state of panic again because of Yan Qing's departure at the banquet, finally calmed down.
His eyes were deep, and the paranoia hidden in them was frightening, but it was all well concealed by the dark night.
Pei Shiyu seemed to hesitate for a long time before he mustered up the courage to ask, "Aunt, the incident in the suburbs of Beijing...was it you?"
Yan Qing nodded and did not hide it: "He is mine."
Although he had guessed it a long time ago, Pei Shiyu still couldn't hide his joy when Yan Qing admitted it herself. His aunt must have taken action against Jiang Huaixu for him.
You see, in my aunt's heart, I am much more important than Jiang Huaixu. He is the person closest to my aunt in this world.
Pei Shiyu still suppressed the joy in his tone, and said with a little self-blame: "Did I ruin my aunt's plan that day?"
Yan Qing said in a gentle voice: "No, it was all thanks to your Majesty's people who helped. That time it was just a test, and failure was inevitable. Your Majesty doesn't have to take it too seriously."
A hint of coldness flashed across Pei Shiyu's eyes, and then disappeared in an instant.
He was not dissatisfied with Yan Qing, but with himself. Even after his aunt had taken action, he still did not seize the opportunity to kill Jiang Huaixu. He always felt a little regretful.
Pei Shiyu was silent for a moment before he said, "I didn't mean to hide it from my aunt."
Yan Qing smiled and said, "I am glad that Your Majesty has his own plan. My brother in heaven will surely be pleased too."
Hearing this, the joy in Pei Shiyu's eyes disappeared, and a feeling of frustration came over him. The first person his aunt thought of was her father.
Pei Shiyu's eyes showed a hint of resentment, but he suppressed it. In the end, he just whispered, "Why didn't the aunt come to the meeting? Is she feeling unwell?"
When he asked the last question, Pei Shiyu's eyes were filled with worry. He remembered that his aunt had left Lin Huaigu behind.
But these days Pei Shiyu always thought that his aunt didn't want to see him because she didn't like his behavior, and thus ignored Lin Huaigu.
Yan Qing's eyes flickered, and she said half-truthfully, "I have some underlying illness after the cold, so I can't overwork myself. But Imperial Doctor Lin is here to take care of me, so Your Majesty doesn't need to worry."
Pei Shiyu instantly became nervous: "Why didn't you tell me, aunt? I sent a few more doctors over..."
Yan Qing interrupted before he finished speaking: "Doctor Lin is a great doctor, I'll just have him treat me. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to handle the King of Zhenbei when I wasn't around, but now that I know you have your own plans, I can let go and rest."
At this point, Pei Shiyu couldn't send anyone else over. He also knew that Lin Huaigu was a good doctor, and having this person treat his aunt would make him less nervous.
"Aunt, take good care of yourself. I will take care of the affairs of the court."
Yan Qing smiled and nodded. She looked up at the dark sky and said, "I will leave the palace first. Your Majesty, you don't need to see me off."
Pei Shiyu wanted to keep her, and he did not let anyone touch the palace where his aunt lived before she built the mansion. But he did not say it out loud because his aunt would not agree.
"Okay, take care, auntie."
