To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 78 Under the Peony Flower

  A noble lady who goes out to a banquet will always prepare a set of clothes of similar color or even the same style as the one she is wearing, just to deal with such emergencies.

  The clothes are brought by her own maid, just send someone to inform the maid who stays outside to drink tea, and change it in the room provided by the host.

   This was nothing unusual at first, but Luo Sheng frowned thinking of the maids who made mistakes one after another in the palace today.

  She would not naively think that the two maids were mistakes.

   "My fourth sister is going to change clothes, so there won't be any maids with slippery hands and feet?" Luo Sheng looked directly at Wei Wen and asked with a smile.

   Wei Wen was angry, but she could only smile: "How could that be?"

   Once or twice is enough, if another maid makes a mistake, and the noble ladies present are not deaf or blind, it will be difficult for Pingnan Palace to stay out of it.

   No one wants to be a guest at someone else's house with a lot of trepidation.

   What's more, Miss Luo, a concubine, didn't hinder her, so what good would it do for her to plot against Miss Luo.

   "That's good." Luo Sheng also smiled back.

  The two looked at each other, seemingly polite, but the atmosphere was a bit weird.

  Luo Qing said, "I'll go with Fourth Sister."

  Seeing Luo Qing and Luo Yue being led away by the maid, Luo Sheng smiled at Wei Wen: "I'll go shopping in the garden, so I won't bother the princess to accompany me."

   "Miss Luo, please help yourself."

  Luo Sheng stepped out of the pavilion.

  Zhu Hanshuang withdrew her gaze, and no longer concealed the hatred in her eyes: "Princess, look at how arrogant she is!"

   Wei Wen's tone was cold: "Isn't she always like this?"

   "But she doesn't even care about you."

   Wei Wen smiled coolly: "What's so strange about this, she has a good relationship with Princess Changle, so I am a princess."

  Zhu Hanshuang sneered: "That is to say, she is holding a chicken feather as an arrow. She really thinks that Princess Changle regards her as a bosom friend. In the eyes of Princess Changle, she just treats her like a cat or a dog to amuse her."

Wei Wen walked out slowly, and said softly: "Even if it's for fun, as long as the princess likes it, then she can use chicken feathers as arrows. What's more, her father is the governor in charge of Jinlin Guard. It really can't be done."

  In the final analysis, Luo Sheng's confidence is the Governor Luo.

  As long as Governor Luo is highly regarded by the emperor, Luo Sheng can be arrogant for a day.

But no matter how arrogant it is, even if Governor Luo is so powerful, he can't force a wealthy family to marry his daughter, and if you marry your daughter to a family who wants to marry the governor's mansion, you don't need to take such a person seriously inside.

   This is because Luo Sheng was able to marry at least when his father was in power. If Luo Dadu loses power, Luo Sheng's fate may be worse than that of a maid in the palace.

   Wei Wen thought about this coldly and calmed down a bit.

"But I just can't see it. Even Miss Chen can fight as soon as she says she wants to. If there is anything she dare not do, she might bully the princess one day." Zhu Hanshuang clearly felt sorry for Wei Wen, in her heart Another trouble.

  With such a lawless personality, Luo Sheng still has his eyes on King Kaiyang. What if he makes a fuss about marrying King Kaiyang?

   Governor Luo is a popular person in front of the emperor, what if the emperor agrees.

  At that time, even if she dies, she will be helpless.

  Instead of despairing and regretting at that time, it is better to find an opportunity to destroy that **** now, and see how she can open King Yang's mind.

   Wei Wen admitted that Zhu Hanshuang's words made her hate Luo Sheng even more, but she also understood her friend's thoughts, and said lightly: "The wicked will have their own rewards. I believe this kind of person will not be arrogant for too long."

  Ever since the family moved to the capital, even as a princess, she can't do whatever she wants, so why can Luo Sheng?

  Zhu Hanshuang reluctantly nodded, and stretched out her hand to cover the oncoming sunlight: "The sun is a bit big today, let's go for a walk in the bamboo forest over there."

   Wei Wen nodded casually.

  Luo Sheng seemed to be wandering aimlessly, but he secretly kept every object and scene in the garden in his heart.

  The Pingnan Palace ruined her family, this revenge will be avenged sooner or later, there is no harm in being more familiar with the enemy's residence.

  She unconsciously walked to the depths of the garden and stopped beside a clump of peonies.

   It is said that the flowering period of peonies has passed, but I don't know what method the gardener of the palace used, the peonies in front of me are blooming extraordinarily gorgeously.

  The flower stems are nearly ten feet high, and the huge flowers are beautiful and fragrant, worthy of the praise of the beauty and fragrance of the country.

  Luo Sheng couldn't help but take a closer look, thinking that Luo Qing and the two had left for a while and it was time to come back, so he turned and walked back.

   This piece of peony obviously also attracted the attention of other noble ladies. On the way back, I encountered people walking this way one after another.

   A girl's laughter came from behind.

   "Ah, I didn't expect there to be peonies in full bloom here. The peonies in my home are all gone a few days ago."

   "Thanks to my family too."

   "After all, it is the palace of the king. Every flower and grass seems to be ordinary, but in fact there is always something strange about it."

   "Yes, of course the palace is different."

   "Hey, what is this? Ah—"

  Luo Sheng stopped and turned around because of the sudden scream.

  Several noble women retreated or covered their faces, and some fell to the ground because they were too flustered, screaming one after another.

  Luo Sheng didn't know what happened, so he stood there without moving for a while.

   Soon a noble lady screamed: "The dead—"

   This cry revealed great fear and panic, and soon attracted people from all directions.

  Luo Sheng walked over and saw a hand stretched out from under the peony flower.

   "What happened?" Wei Wen who hurried over asked.

  The complexions of several noble ladies were pale, and they looked like they were just in shock. One of them tremblingly said: "Under the peony flowers... there are dead people!"

   Wei Wen's complexion suddenly changed, and she blurted out: "Who?"

   Several noble ladies set their sights on a noble lady who fell to the ground.

  After hearing the scream, they were scared out of their wits when they saw only one hand. How dare they look more.

  The noble lady who fell to the ground was the first to notice the strangeness. She was obviously terrified at the moment, and said tremblingly, "Yes, it's Miss Chen!"

   These words immediately caused a commotion.

   It was Ms. Chen who died?

  The girls' first reaction was that it was impossible.

  They would be afraid when they saw a dead person, but deep down they never thought that the person who died was a lady of their status.

  It is not uncommon for a wealthy family to occasionally have a servant girl die unexpectedly. In their thinking, the hand protruding from the peony bushes should belong to a servant.

   Whoever thought it was Miss Chen!

  The deceased was one of them, this is not a general fear, but a great fear.

  Under great fear, the courageous lady couldn't help but take a look.

  The owner of that hand was lying behind a deep red peony, his eyes wide open, his expression twisted, it was Miss Chen and who else!

  The dagger that took Miss Chen's life was stuck in her abdomen. Under the bright sunlight, the handle of the dagger studded with precious stones shone brightly.

   Asking for tickets, little angels, please reward my girl Luo with a few monthly tickets.
