White Hedge Dream

Chapter 228 said

"Where's Jingyun?"

As soon as Mrs. Xue got off the car, she asked Mrs. Xu who came to greet her, and at the same time she looked inside the door.

Mother Xu smiled and supported her: "Madam came suddenly. The prince didn't know. She went to the government office early in the morning and hasn't come back yet."

After that, he gave instructions to the maids on the side.

"Go quickly and ask someone to find the prince and tell him to come back soon."

Mrs. Xue glanced at her, stopped about to say something, and turned inward with a complex expression.

"Are you here to ask me why I didn't attend the palace banquet?" Mrs. Dongyang Hou was half lying on the Arhat bed and said lazily, "I'm fine, I just don't want to go to that place."

After saying that, he looked at Mrs. Xue again.

"It's not like I won't enter the Imperial City for the rest of my life. After a while, my mood will improve and things will be the same as before."

Xu's mother nodded beside her: "Madam is not willing to go on the festive day, for fear of offending the little prince."

Mrs. Xue held the tea cup and said a little absently: "It's okay not to go."

Mrs. Dongyanghou was stunned for a moment, and Xu's mother was also a little surprised. She thought Mrs. Xue didn't see Mrs. Dongyanghou last night and was worried about asking. Why did she look like she didn't go?

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Dongyang Hou sat up and raised her brows as she thought of something, "What trouble did Jingyun cause again?"

She did not go to the banquet last night. Dongyang Hou has now faded out of the court and secluded himself from the world. Because of the unbearable rumors that Zhou Jingyun is out now, the Dongyang Hou Mansion has closed its doors tightly and does not know what happened at the palace banquet yesterday.

"It's not that Jingyun caused trouble." Mrs. Xue said hurriedly and told the story about the young lady of the Zhu family. Although the emperor later rejected the others and did not know the specific things that the young lady Zhu told, given that Princess Jinyu and Madam Zhu had previously Everyone's conversation was pretty much guessed.

"So, Princess Jinyu is determined to let King Chu marry the Zhu family?" Mrs. Dongyang Hou also saw it immediately, "She actually used this method!"

Xu's mother patted her chest: "Mrs. Zhu is really amazing. She made a prompt decision and pulled out Queen Yang."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou curled her lips: "Princess Jinyu is just relying on her status, how can she fight with Mrs. Zhu."

Mother Xu nodded: "Now that King Chu is here and His Majesty has a little prince, people's hearts are becoming more and more unpredictable. It's really a relief that Madam doesn't go."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou looked at Mrs. Xue and asked, "How did it get spread outside? Miss Zhu doesn't need to be involved with King Chu anymore, right?"

Mrs. Xue said: "No, everyone has seen that Miss Zhu did not see King Chu. It has nothing to do with King Chu."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." After saying that, Mrs. Xue looked strange and asked, "What's wrong?"

Mrs. Xue did not answer, but asked: "Jing Yun still stays out a lot lately and doesn't come back?"

Mrs. Dongyang Hou looked at her: "I know what you want to ask. Although we didn't find out what happened last time, I asked him and he admitted that there was someone in his heart."

Mrs. Xue hurriedly asked: "Who is it?"

Mrs. Dongyang Hou snorted: "He didn't say it because of his reputation." She said with a sneer, "There is nothing shameful about it."

Mrs. Xue murmured: "Maybe it's really shameful."

"What did you say?" Mrs. Dongyang Hou frowned and looked at Mrs. Xue, "Do you know who he is?"

Mrs. Xue looked away: "No, I don't know."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou realized something was wrong at this time. From Mrs. Xue's reaction to the moment she entered the door, it was clear that something was wrong. She sat up straight and said, "What's going on? What happened to Jingyun at the banquet last night?" Guessed something again, He raised his eyebrows and said, "Zhou Jingyun's woman from outside also went there? Did you see it?"

"No, there is no woman." Mrs. Xue said, blurting out the words, "Yes..."

Stop the words as soon as they reach your lips.

"What is it?" Mrs. Dongyang Hou stood up.

Mother Xu also looked at Mrs. Xue nervously.

Mrs. Xue looked helpless: "They are all rumors. It's okay not to listen to those words."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou sneered: "Come and tell me, I haven't heard anything these days, what can be more rare?"

Mrs. Xue hesitated.

Mrs. Dongyang Hou stood up: "Okay, if you don't tell me, then I will go to the street and ask."

Xu's mother hurriedly stopped "Mrs."

Mrs. Xue also stood up: "Okay, I will tell you."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou stood indoors and looked back at her.

"Say, he and the King of Chu." Mrs. Xue blushed and said with difficulty, "We are in love."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou and Mrs. Xu were stunned and didn't seem to understand.

"Last night, Miss Zhu didn't meet the drunk King Chu because King Chu and Jing Yun left." Mrs. Xue's voice stammered, "They were spending time together by the Taiye Pond."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou’s face turned pale.

Xu’s mother’s eyes widened.

This, this, what nonsense...

In the silence, footsteps sounded outside the door, and soon the maid's voice came: "Madam, Jiang Yun came back just now, saying that the prince went directly from the Yamen to Lou Chuan and will not be back tonight."

The room became stagnant again.

During this period, Zhou Jingyun often went to the building. In the past, he just thought it was a dissolute act. Now combined with Mrs. Xue's words...

That building ship was the property of King Li Yu of Chu.

Mrs. Dongyang Hou's face turned from pale to red: "This useless thing - I will strangle him to death -"

After saying that, the man rushed outside.

"Bring me the rope, bring me the knife—"

Mother Xu and Mrs. Xue hurriedly stopped her.

"lady-"

"Jade Lady—"

The room was in chaos.

…

As the sun set, the dock outside the city was bustling with activity. Cars and horses kept coming. Men, women and children in gorgeous clothes were chatting while waiting to board the boat.

"There are so many people coming today." Jixiang said standing on the bow of the boat, "Do you know that His Highness is here today?"

"That's really not a good thing." Cai Songnian said.

Ji Xiang looked at him and saw Cai Songnian's face was grave.

"Mr. Cai is worried about His Highness's reputation?" Jixiang whispered, "Didn't His Highness say that a bad reputation is also good, so that Your Majesty and the courtiers will not be wary and hostile."

Cai Songnian frowned: "It's not that corrupt."

Ji Xiang was puzzled: "To what extent is it corrupted?"

Cai Songnian glanced at him and wanted to say something, but there was another commotion at the pier.

"Prince Zhou is here—"

Ji Xiang's eyes lit up: "Prince Zhou is here too, so tonight will be even more lively."

After saying that, he looked at Cai Songnian, and saw that Cai Songnian's face looked even worse.

"It's really hard to explain..." he murmured.

What can't be explained clearly? Jixiang is even more puzzled.

…

…

"Prince Zhou, come to the building."

Looking at Zhou Jingyun walking over, someone shouted.

Zhou Jingyun glanced at him and smiled: "Aren't you?"

The man smiled awkwardly and was pushed and mocked by the people next to him. The next moment there was another sound.

"Prince Zhou, King Chu is here today. Are you here to see King Chu?"

These words caused a moment of silence in the noisy dock, and the surroundings were filled with bright eyes and different expressions.

Zhou Jingyun looked at these gazes. He had not paid attention before, but this morning he suddenly found that the rumors about him and King Chu were getting weirder. But, so what?

He looked at the building boat and saw the stewards who were greeting the guests came out surrounded by the owner and stood on the high third floor. King Chu Li Yu was in front and Bai Li followed closely behind.

Today's white apricot-yellow shirt, purple skirt, and head full of pearls are as gorgeous as ever.

At the same time that Zhou Jingyun looked over, she looked over. She found him at a glance among the bustling crowd and smiled.

Zhou Jingyun also smiled, met Bai Li's gaze, and nodded to the people around him: "Yes, I'm here to see King Chu."

Everyone followed him towards the bow of the ship and saw Li Yu, dressed in a red round collar robe and a gold and jade crown, dazzling in the dusk.

There was a moment of silence, and then there was a lot of noise, mixed with the cheers of unknown people.

"good!"

"Prince Zhou is magnanimous!"

"Prince Zhou is a true gentleman!"

Along with the shouting, someone jumped out, waved his sleeves to drive away the crowd, and bowed to Zhou Jingyun: "Prince Zhou."

Zhou Jingyun glanced at him and saw that this man was wearing Taoist robes.

"Your Majesty, I am Wang Tong, a disciple of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and now I am a disciple of the Holy Ancestor Guan Xuanyang..." Wang Tong said excitedly.

Someone nearby interjected, "What disciple of Xuanyang, you are the one who lights the lanterns at the Holy Ancestor."

Wang Tong pouted at them, waved his sleeves to drive them away, and then extended his hand to Zhou Jingyun to invite them: "Young Master Zhou is a leader in my generation, I invite you, Your Majesty Zhou."

Zhou Jingyun smiled and didn't care what he was saying. He followed his words and walked forward. Wang Tong swaggered behind him, and soon everyone was booing: "You are the leader of your generation, you deserve to be with the crown prince." "Quickly go away. Bar."

I walked onto the ship accompanied by the commotion, and entered the cabin where the commotion started again, with a look of surprise.

Hualouchuan has always been known for its magnificence, but today it is even more gorgeous than in the past. Countless colorful silks hang down from the third floor, dotted with pearls and jade. There are flowers all over the buildings, and there are twice as many lights as before. The entire building is like a fairy palace.

"What's going on?"

"It feels like a holiday."

Accompanied by buzzing discussions, Li Yu stood on the third floor and announced loudly: "Today's Hualou Chuan, all entertainment is free, please enjoy it."

The uproar became even louder as soon as this statement came out.

"What's going on?" "Is it to celebrate King Chu's restoration of his identity?"

Along with the discussion, the drums sounded, and everyone's eyes flashed, and they saw several graceful women wrapped in colorful silks on the third floor slowly descending, like fairies descending to earth. At the same time, in the lobby of the main hall, a dancing girl held a hand in her hand. Two swords rise up.

"It's Lady Dengyun!"

"Lady Dengyun's Sword Dance!"

"I actually invited Madam Dengyun!"

There was a sudden commotion in the hall, causing the guests on the pier who were getting on the boat one after another to be confused and ask what was wrong.

"Come and see, there's Lady Dengyun on the boat tonight—"

"Mrs. Dengyun? A disciple of Mrs. Gongsun?"

"Oh my god, didn't you say she doesn't perform on stage anymore?"

"Quick, quick, quick—"

The pier was crowded with people.

Zhang Ze, who had just dismounted, looked at this scene and squinted his eyes: "This flower boat is more lively than yesterday's imperial palace banquet."
