Chapter 473: Western Turkic Princess
So she kept hiding behind the cabinet and didn't dare to make a sound. She didn't dare to sneak out until Pei Yi took a shower and changed clothes and left the room.
After all, these things are too dishonorable, Luo Qiaoer naturally refused to say it, and only said vaguely: "Anyway, mother, believe me, Pei Yi is definitely a woman! If we publicize her identity, the Pei family will definitely be ruined!"
Nanny Song's heart was pounding, and she said fearfully: "Qiaoer, even if you tell the story, who will believe you? At that time, the Pei family will only arrest our mothers and silence them!"
Luo Qiaoer resentfully said: "If we two ordinary people tell it, no one will believe it. But if someone with a reputation tells it, people will believe it. The Pei family has so many enemies, I just need to pass the news to you. Can the Pei family handle these people?"
Nanny Song's eyelids twitched, and she tried to persuade her: "Qiaoer, you and Auntie should go back to Yuezhou. We don't have to fight against the Pei family!"
"Mother!" Luo Qiaoer burst into tears, aggrieved and resentful, "If I can't make a good appearance in the capital, what's the point of my life?!"
"If you ask me to go back to a small place like Yuezhou, it will kill me!"
"Even if I die in Kyoto, I will never go back to Yuezhou, and I will never marry a low-level person as a lady!"
"I'd rather die now than live my whole life as a poor woman!"
"Aniang! The Pei family is sorry for me!"
"As long as the Pei family is willing to reach out to help me, I will not be reduced to what I am now!"
"How can I, Luo Qiaoer, be better than those ladies from rich families?"
"I am no worse than them in appearance, female celebrities are no worse than them, and I am more likely to please your husband than them."
"But because of my humble background, I can only be a concubine for rich and noble people!"
"Why?! Didn't the Pei family just despise my background and expel me from the Pei residence?"
"As long as I have the father of a fifth-rank official, the Pei family will not open the middle door to welcome me into the house?"
"Aniang, it's the Pei family who sees people as inferior! It's the Pei family who forced me into this state! Even if I'm a ghost, I won't let the Pei family go!"
After hearing her daughter's accusation, Nanny Song also felt that the Pei family was too worthless.
But Nanny Song was very afraid of the Pei family, so she said in a low voice: "My mother and I should think about this matter carefully. The Pei family is not ordinary, they can say that black people are white. We want to expose Pei Yi's identity, it must be considered in the long term.”
Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.
A few days later.
Imperial Palace.
Xun Huan has recently had a heated fight with the inner guard.
Especially Commander Sun appreciated Xun Huan very much, as if he had already regarded Xun Huan as a member of the inner guard.
Commander Sun also arranged for Xun Huan to attend a banquet like today's that required internal guards.
This banquet is a longevity banquet to celebrate the old emperor's birthday.
The guests present included not only senior officials of rank five or above, but also envoys from various countries who came to congratulate.
Among this group of guests, the envoys of the Western Turks were the most eye-catching.
Because, among the men present, only the leader of the Western Turkic envoy is a girl, and she is also an unusually beautiful girl.
This kind of beauty has a strong exotic flavor—deep eyes and high nose, and her complexion is not as fair as that of a woman from Dazhou, but there is a kind of wild beauty that makes people fall in love at first glance.
This person is the eldest princess of the Western Turks, Helian Guanyue.
He Lian Guanyue was holding a wine glass, looking boredly at the scene of drinking wine all around, but the moment his eyes fell on Xun Huan, he cheered up.
She raised her hand to beckon a young **** who was serving beside her, and gave some instructions in a low voice.
The little **** looked embarrassed, but he didn't dare to disobey the envoy's wishes, so he walked up to Xun Huan with a glass of wine on a wooden tray.
"Xun Sijie, Princess Helian invites you to drink." The little **** lowered his head awkwardly.
Xun Huan remembered that Pei Yi had told her to avoid Helian Guanyue as much as possible on weekdays, because this princess was a fierce womanizer.
Xun Huan refused: "Eunuch, please thank Princess Helian for me. However, as the guard in today's field, I have a duty and cannot drink alcohol."
The little **** understood, and returned to his command.
Xun Huan watched with his own eyes the little **** walking back to Helian Guanyue with the tray.
After the little **** said a few words, Helian Banyue looked at him.
Xun Huan didn't want to send any wrong information to this lecherous princess, so he immediately turned his head away to show that he didn't even want to look at her.
Who would have thought that when he turned around, he would find Helian Guanyue walking towards him!
Xun Huan was dumbfounded, and wanted to turn around and run away, but he could only stick to his place due to his duty.
He watched Helian Banyue walk up to him.
The princess is holding a wine glass in one hand. Her eye sockets are so deep that she seems to **** people in when she stares intently.
Most women in the Zhou Dynasty had very light makeup, but this Turkic princess wore heavy makeup. With a slight hook of flaming red lips, she handed him a glass of wine.
"Can Xun Sijie give you a credit?" He Lian said with a smile.
Xun Huan has never seen such a bold woman—oh, it’s not that he has never seen it, but it was all in brothels. Women from good families in Dazhou dare not strike up a conversation with men like this.
"Princess, I'm watching the value, so I can't drink alcohol." Xun Huan refused righteously.
Helian Guanyue glanced at the old emperor sitting on the high seat, and said with a smile: "If your Majesty blames the crime, I will take the responsibility. But if Xun Sijie still refuses, then he will look down on me, the Turkic 'barbarian' .”
This is too heavy a word.
Even if they say that the Turks are barbarians in private, who would say that they are barbarians in front of the princess?
Xun Huan could only take the wine glass, and said solemnly: "Princess is serious."
He Lian Biyue picked up the wine glass and lightly touched the wine glass in his hand, then raised her hand and said with a smile: "Please."
After finishing speaking, she drank the wine in the glass.
Xun Huan had no choice but to drink the wine too.
He Lian Yue took the empty wine glass in his hand, winked at him, then turned and left.
Xun Huan only felt that the prosperity was booming.
Is he being molested?
In his impression, only men would tease a woman like this, right?
After the yamen was dismissed, Xun Huan went back to Xiaopei's mansion as usual. Who would have thought that when he walked to the gate of the palace, a man in Turkic costume came up and said respectfully: "Xun Sijie, my parents, the princess, are welcome."
Xun Huan's first reaction was to refuse.
However, before he could say anything, the Turkic man said: "The eldest princess said, if Xun Sijie is unwilling to come, then she must look down on Turkic. She must ask His Majesty Zhou tomorrow."
