marry a tyrant
Chapter 9 9. The old lover
When the sun just rose from the east, Ren Pingsheng had already arrived at the city to set up camp, and Ge Gen had already started the drill with his soldiers.
Ren Pingsheng yawned, before he could do anything else, a father-in-law in eunuch uniform came towards him with two court ladies.
"The Empress Dowager speaks." The eunuch already had a lot of creases on his face, coupled with his piercing voice, the sleepy Ren Pingsheng instantly woke up.
"The empress dowager said that there is still a custom of returning home in three days among the people. The empress dowager misses the third prince very much since he got married, and ordered you to bring the third prince to the palace for a banquet today." The eunuch finished speaking and Ren Pingsheng agreed.
Back home in three days?How many three days had passed before the Queen Mother realized that she probably came up with some plan to harm Wan Mohong.
Ren Pingsheng really didn't want to go to the Hongmen Banquet, he scratched his hair and called Ge Gen over.
Wan Mohong apparently also received the Queen Mother's order, his expression became visibly gloomy, and his eyes gleamed fiercely.
The most powerless thing in this world is to watch someone you hate control your own destiny.
"Xiao Niang, what happened to what I asked you to inquire about?" Wan Mohong asked after the eunuch left.
The maid behind him went to the front and knelt down and said, "The Xihu people are not really showing favor. Among the things they pay tribute are knives inlaid with gems."
"It's not surprising that Xihu is rich in precious knives. After careful investigation, if they have some thoughts, they have to let them have it." Wan Mohong said decisively.
Did the Queen Mother think that if he took off his wings, there would be nothing he could do?Then she was really careless.
Because he was about to enter the palace, Ren Pingsheng came back early, and he saw Wan Mohong with a displeased face.
At this time, he tactfully did not speak, so as not to get into trouble.
If he didn't say anything, it didn't mean that Wan Mohong didn't say anything. Seeing Ren Pingsheng, Wan Mohong walked over and said with a matter of course: "You can't leave me even one step tonight."
"It's not good to be so close." Ren Pingsheng blinked.
Wan Mohong said angrily: "Bastard, why are you so slow."
Of course Ren Pingsheng understood what he meant, he just had some bad tastes of his own, such as watching Wan Mohong angry and helpless.
He just let himself protect him, so as not to directly lose his life in this Hongmen Banquet.
"Relax, if the Empress Dowager still cares about her reputation, she will definitely not do it directly." As for how to do it indirectly, it is unknown.
Wan Mohong hates Wan Mohong's indifferent appearance, he saved himself before, but now when it's more dangerous, he's not nervous at all.
After the two changed their clothes, they drove towards the palace in a carriage.
Wan Mohong continued to instruct in the carriage: "Don't eat and drink indiscriminately for a while, and don't run around with the maids, hold your urine when you have urine, and change your clothes even if they are dirty..."
His small mouth kept babbling, and Ren Pingsheng's head hurt from his chanting, but now he can somewhat understand the feelings of his students.
And Wan Mohong was able to say these things, obviously he was also an excellent player in Gongdou.
Ren Pingsheng was distracted, suddenly the carriage bumped, Wan Mohong was fine, because he was distracted, he threw himself on Wan Mohong and pressed him against the wall of the carriage.
"You... have died..." Wan Mohong felt that he was injured internally, what happened in Ren's life, the territory of martial arts practitioners is not as secure as him.
"Sorry..." Ren Pingsheng moved his nose while apologizing, and he sniffed at Ren Pingsheng's neck.
"Go away...!" Wan Mohong's neck was itchy because of his ambiguous actions.
Ren Pingsheng asked strangely, "Why do you smell so fragrant?"
"Have you never used incense?" Wan Mohong looked surprised, the nobles in this capital, both men and women, like to use incense, especially for banquets.
In that elegant banquet, exchanging incense and tea ceremony, brewing wine and discussing poetry are all very common things.
Ren Pingsheng: "No, I only smell like sweat."
Wan Mohong snorted: "Boss, no wonder the Ren family doesn't want to see you."
Ren Pingsheng smiled and didn't care about him. If the former Ren Pingsheng heard that the Ren family didn't like him, he would probably be angry.
Now he has no sense of belonging, so naturally he won't be angry.
The carriage was moving slowly, fast horses were forbidden on the roads in the city, Ren Pingsheng finally arrived at the destination when the carriage was shaken almost to sleep.
The two got out of the car, and the rules for entering the palace were complicated and varied. In addition, the palace was very large, and it took them about an hour to arrive at the place where the Queen Mother hosted the banquet.
As soon as he entered the gate, Ren Pingsheng saw the tall queen mother in the distance, and as he gradually approached, he realized that the queen mother was not too old, only about 37-[-].
The ancients got married early, so it is not surprising to be a grandparent at this age.
After he saluted with Wan Mohong, the charming Empress Dowager and Wan Mohong acted filial piety.
"You are married, and the queen mother always feels that this palace is much lonely. Now seeing you well, the queen mother is also relieved." The eyes of the empress dowager really look like a worried mother.
It's a pity that a mother who really cares about her children shouldn't be acting, and she doesn't even want to move.
Wan Mohong sneered in his heart, but his face was full of gratitude: "If the queen mother misses her son, the son will come to the palace to visit you more often."
Ren Pingsheng on the side got goosebumps when he heard it, and the envy he imagined when the enemy met did not appear at all.
The top careerists are all award-winning actor and actress, and their acting skills in modern times don't beat the crowd.
However, if the situation in his own family is so complicated, Ren Pingsheng would only feel sad.
The banquet was held on a tall building, and the windows could be opened to overlook the largest Taiping Lake in the palace.
Maybe they came early, Ren Pingsheng took a look at the display and decoration, it seemed that they were not the only ones invited to the banquet.
So Ren Pingsheng breathed a sigh of relief, if this kind of banquet is really only them, I am afraid there will be no return, there are still many benefits.
"Does General Dacheng have any questions?" The queen mother seemed to find that Ren Pingsheng was absent-minded, so she asked directly.
This tone is really much more majestic than the emperor who came up earlier, Ren Pingsheng immediately replied: "I am flattered by such an exquisite banquet."
"That's very good." The queen mother was too lazy to say a few words to Ren Pingsheng, in her eyes, Ren Pingsheng was not conspicuous among many civil servants and generals, he was just a tool to contain and insult Wan Mohong.
After the two sat down, Ren Pingsheng saw Wan Mohong's clenched hands. It seemed that he was also very scared. Facing an enemy stronger than himself, there was always the risk of losing his life. No one was afraid.
Ren Pingsheng's heart suddenly felt compassionate, and he stretched out to pat the back of Wan Mohong's hand.
Wan Mohong's eyes flashed, and he moved his chair closer to Ren Pingsheng.
Soon other people came, including the emperor Wan Mosi, and a few unremarkable former princes who didn't get fiefdoms.
Behind the emperor was a beautiful imperial concubine who was dressed in fine clothes and golden hairpins but not a phoenix robe.
Wan Mohong shrank his eyes when he saw her, and the imperial concubine's expression also changed when she caught a glimpse of him.
I believe many sharp-eyed people present saw this scene, Ren Pingsheng was very curious about who this woman was.
When the emperor was seated, he put his arms around the concubine and looked at Wan Mohong and said, "Third brother, why didn't you say anything when you saw your old lover? Could it be that you have tasted the taste of a man, and you don't even look down on women."
Such absurd words were uttered, and no one in the room refuted them. Even the queen mother seemed to be watching the fun.
old lover?Ren Pingsheng looked at Wan Mohong, and saw Wan Mohong's chest rising and falling, his lips pursed and his expression stiff.
"How dare I miss the imperial concubine." Wan Mohong lowered his head and choked out these few words. That woman was his former imperial concubine Wen Ling'er, and she was also the one who betrayed him and brought him down to this point.
Wen Ling'er looked embarrassed, after all, she was born as a lady, the emperor used her to insult Wan Mohong in front of so many people, wasn't he insulting her.
"Your majesty, the concubine is yours from the beginning to the end. You say that, and the concubine is frightened." Wen Ling'er's voice was sweet, she acted coquettishly a little, and Wan Mosi really benefited.
"Don't be afraid, dear concubine. I'm just afraid that the third younger brother will have no more love for you, but now it seems that the third younger brother once made your pearl dust, but he only likes men. Fortunately, you are a delicate flower. It's a pity." Wan Mo talked sweetly to Wen Ling'er without looking at anyone else.
This move is naturally a great insult to Wan Mohong.
From the moment they got married until now, the Queen Mother's purpose was only to anger Wan Mohong, to make him show his ambition and cheating feet, so that he could be completely buried.
No wonder later Wan Mohong would be so cruel, there is a reason for everything.
Ren Pingsheng put his arms around Wan Mohong's shoulders, looked at the emperor and said: "The emperor and the imperial concubine are as strong as gold, and the ministers are very envious. In the end, the general and his wife should learn from the emperor, and the qin and harp sing harmoniously, and raise their eyebrows."
Wan Mohong blinked, then raised his head to look at Ren Pingsheng, thinking what are you doing.
Unexpectedly, the emperor clapped his hands after hearing his words and said: "General Ren is really good at talking, the third brother is blessed."
The queen mother glanced at Ren Pingsheng, and then said: "Let's start the banquet, you must be hungry after talking so much."
The other ex-princes were silent one by one, and stood in front of the background board, but the Queen Mother would not let them go after targeting Wan Mohong.
For a while, he talked about a certain prince who had close contacts with people in the martial arts, and for a while he talked about the boss behind a certain big brothel in the capital.
This banquet was obviously another blow to them by the Empress Dowager, Wan Mo was so angry that his face turned pale.
"What do you mean by that just now?" Wan Mohong approached Ren Pingsheng and asked in a low voice.
Ren Pingsheng said: "The Queen Mother must have brought your old lover over to provoke you. If you really overturned the table, I will not be buried with you."
"I'm not as useless as you think." Wan Mohong replied, he knew that Ren Pingsheng was diverting the emperor's attention from him, so as not to say more ugly words later.
"By the way, what is your relationship with the imperial concubine?" Ren Pingsheng was still very curious about this.
Wan Mohong fell silent, he pursed his lips for a long time before saying: "She used to be my concubine."
Ren Pingsheng was a little surprised, so it was the elder brother taking over the younger siblings, the emperor was really shameless.
For men, it is indeed a very insulting thing, no wonder Wan Mohong's expression changed.
There is no record of this incident in the history books, it seems that this imperial concubine is not as favored as she appears on the surface.
Half an hour later, the queen mother said what she had to say, and she left the table directly.
The emperor, who was already a little drunk, was even more presumptuous, and directly called a few beauties he had just brought into the palace to dance and play music for them.
At this time, a court lady appeared behind Wan Mohong and whispered a few words to Wan Mohong, Wan Mohong frowned directly.
"What's the matter?" Ren Pingsheng asked.
Wan Mohong sneered and said, "Wen Ling'er asked me to see her."
"Trap?" Ren Pingsheng's first feeling was that it was not easy.
Wan Mohong shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"Are you going?" Ren Pingsheng asked again.
Who knew that Wan Mohong looked at him and said, "Are you afraid that our old relationship will rekindle?"
Ren Pingsheng thought it was funny: "You have to have the ability to rekindle old love."
Hearing what he said, Wan Mohong felt bored, he said: "You go with me, don't leave me half a step."
Ren Pingsheng smiled: "Madam is really clingy."
Ren Pingsheng yawned, before he could do anything else, a father-in-law in eunuch uniform came towards him with two court ladies.
"The Empress Dowager speaks." The eunuch already had a lot of creases on his face, coupled with his piercing voice, the sleepy Ren Pingsheng instantly woke up.

Back home in three days?How many three days had passed before the Queen Mother realized that she probably came up with some plan to harm Wan Mohong.
Ren Pingsheng really didn't want to go to the Hongmen Banquet, he scratched his hair and called Ge Gen over.
Wan Mohong apparently also received the Queen Mother's order, his expression became visibly gloomy, and his eyes gleamed fiercely.
The most powerless thing in this world is to watch someone you hate control your own destiny.
"Xiao Niang, what happened to what I asked you to inquire about?" Wan Mohong asked after the eunuch left.
