The person in charge of the Pei family's spring outing this time is Secretary Cheng Pei Shen, who is a close relative of Pei Renji, and he can't help it.
There are forty-eight unmarried girls in the old Pei family participating in the spring outing this year, most of them from side branches. Pei Shu and Pei Xian's granddaughter Pei Wei are the two most popular people in the Pei family this year.
As soon as Pei Wei, the granddaughter of Linfen County Duke Pei Xian, stepped into the camp, she was already greeted by the backfoot tribe. Xue Daoheng's son, Xue Shou, had not yet married, so Bolingcui acted as a matchmaker and set up a match between the two. It means that the pairing is successful in advance.
Then Pei Shu was left, and it turned out to be a joke.
In the evening, as soon as the brazier in the camp was lit, a horse's neighing was heard outside.
The steward went out and welcomed Liang Wang Yang Hao and others in.
Pei Shen was extremely knowledgeable and well-respected, so Yang Hao raised his hands to him from afar and said:
"Mr. Pei has a strong body. Slow down, slow down."
Pei Shen came over panting, leaning on his crutch and said, "What kind of wind brought King Liang here?"
In his opinion, when Yang Hao came here, it was probably because a member of the clan fell in love with one of their daughters, which was a good thing, so Pei Shen was in a good mood at the moment.
Yang Hao smiled and said: "Come and take a look, there is no other meaning."
As he spoke, Yang Hao clasped his hands in front of him, looked around leisurely, and said, "It's a good place to be surrounded by mountains and rivers. Look at this tent. There aren't many girls in the Pei family this year?"
"No more, no more," Pei Shen said accompanying him: "Direct descendants often do not need to participate in spring outings. Some even have marriage contracts before they are minors. However, this year, there are not many collateral descendants of the right age, otherwise they will not get their turn. The old man will preside over it."
"Eh~~ You can't say that. The Pei family in Hedong is a famous family in the world. Even if it is a side branch, it will attract many children from aristocratic families to flock to it." Yang Hao raised his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Pei is so humble."
It's not flattering, but it still smells like flattery. Pei Shen was naturally happy after hearing this, stroking his beard and smiling:
"Mild praise, miraculous praise."
Old nerd, Yang Hao snorted in his heart and said: "Where is Duke Langya's girl? Can I meet her?"
Pei Shen suddenly frowned, good boy, didn't you say you were just strolling around? Sure enough, there is still a purpose.
"It is inconvenient for her to see people now, please forgive me, Your Highness."
"I can't forgive you," Yang Haopi said with a smile: "If you are so well hidden, why are you here for a spring outing?"
It's none of your business, you're a little bastard with no father and no mother. Scholars are too narrow-minded and can scold others harshly, although Pei Shen said these words in his heart.
"She has been feeling unwell recently, Your Highness should understand."
He was hinting to Yang Hao that Aunt Pei Shu was here and it would be inconvenient to see her.
"I don't understand. What Mr. Pei said is really uncomfortable. Can't you make it clearer?" Yang Hao said deliberately.
Pei Shen cursed again in his heart and said with a smile on his face: "Some words cannot be said clearly, which is inappropriate."
"Alas" Yang Hao looked up to the sky and sighed: "I have only been away from the capital for a few years, and the world has really changed. What rank is the Secretary Cheng?"
Pei Shen heard that the other party was using his status to suppress him, and he laughed and said: "Of course he is not worthy of being here, Your Highness."
In fact, they started from the fourth grade.
Yang Hao sneered: "I gave you face, didn't I?"
Doesn’t this kid have any city? Are you angry after just a few words? Pei Shen smiled and said:
"How can you see someone for something like this from a girl's house? Your Highness also knows etiquette, so why do you force me to do so? If you really want to see her, I will let you see her when she gets better."
What an old turtle bastard, you really don’t take me seriously?
Yang Hao has suffered a lot of frustration in the past few years. He is a child without a father and a mother, has no supporter, and his second uncle is not welcome. As a result, he, the direct grandson of the Second Saint, has a weak prestige.
If my father were alive, how dare you talk to me like this?
Yang Hao was also impatient and slapped him away. Pei Shen took advantage of the situation and fell down, lying on the ground unable to get up.
Immediately in the camp, slaves came over to check, and cries of grief kept coming.
"Young Master, pretend to be dead. Even if you die today, no one can do anything to me." Yang Hao directly kicked Pei Shen on the ground, and then rushed toward more and more people who heard the news. The descendants of the Pei family who came said:
"Hand over Pei Shu to me. Anyone who dares to raise a weapon will be regarded as rebelling."
The guards of the Pei family were already well prepared. After hearing this, they lost their minds and looked at the backbone of the direct descendants.
Several young and energetic children of the Pei family whispered to everyone to take out the sticks. Behind us are the crown prince's concubines and the minister's right servant She. Aren't you just a down-and-out prince? Dare you come here to act wild?
"What King Liang said is wrong. Whether you want to rebel or not, it doesn't matter what you say. Now in the capital, only the prince can decide who is guilty or not guilty," a child of the Pei family sneered in the crowd.
Another voice sounded: "Is it possible that King Liang can be the master of the prince?"
Yang Hao was immediately furious, but he also knew that in this situation, things were getting a bit big.
Su Lie, who was following him and dressed as a guard, was also a little panicked. After all, he was the protagonist, so he quietly tugged on Yang Hao's sleeve and whispered:
"Your Highness, please calm down. It is not appropriate to have a conflict."
"Don't worry!" Yang Hao threw Su Lie away and said with a blush on his face: "Since I was born, I have never been refuted like this. I wonder who dares to stop me today."
With that said, Yang Hao stepped forward and walked forward.
Wherever he goes, the Pei family will retreat.
After all, he is a member of the royal family. Anyone who dares to stop him will really slap the Yang family in the face.
But the current camp was in a mess, and there were mostly young and energetic juniors, so the big guys blocked every tent one after another. No matter how hard Yang Hao tried to pull, they just wouldn't get out of the way.
I won’t do anything, I won’t speak, and I won’t leave. What can you do to me?
At this moment, Yang Hao couldn't hold back his anger anymore. He pulled out the knife and was going to kill someone. When Su Lie saw this, he quickly stepped forward and hugged him:
"Not allowed, Your Highness."
Yang Hao's eyes were about to burst, and the raised knife trembled, but in the end it did not fall.
He felt an unprecedented humiliation. He knew that he had just returned to Beijing, his foundation was unstable, his parents were gone, and there were not many people who could truly protect him.
In the end, reason defeated impulse. Yang Hao put down the knife, looked around with fierce eyes, and shouted:
"The prince has an order!"
As soon as these words came out, the children of the Pei family in the camp were stunned. The original disdain disappeared and turned into surprise and worry.
Pei Shen, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, suddenly opened his eyes, quickly got up from the ground with the help of his slaves, walked over quickly and said with a smile:
"Your Highness, why are you doing this? You didn't tell me earlier."
Yang Hao turned around fiercely, took a step forward, and pointed his finger on the other person's forehead. Just like that, little by little, Pei Shen retreated step by step.
"This King will remember you, we are not done yet."
Pei Shen's old face twitched.
After saying that, Yang Hao sneered and said, "The prince has an order to hand over Pei Shu."
No one would suspect him of pretending to convey the prince's will, because everyone knew that he did not have the courage.
Yang Ming originally told Yang Hao that it was his intention, but Yang Hao was forced to sell Yang Ming due to the situation.
Anyway, Yang Hao knew that as long as the person was taken away smoothly, Yang Ming would not blame him.
After a while, Pei Shu was brought over. Yang Hao said to Su Lie beside him:
"Take the people away. Anyone who dares to stop them will be shot to death."
Su Lie said gratefully: "Su Lie dare not forget His Highness's help."
You must not forget that I still expect you to plead for me in front of the prince. Yang Hao allocated twenty people to escort Su Lie back to the capital, and he spat in Pei Shen's face. He gritted his teeth and said:
"Just wait, we can settle this account."
The news that Yang Hao angrily broke into the Pei family camp to rob people and was humiliated by the old Pei family quickly spread.
Yang Hao was also recalled to the capital by the prince.
The core bosses of the Pei family, headed by Linfen County Duke Pei Xian, went to Prince Liang's Mansion to apologize to Yang Hao.
Yang Hao disappeared behind closed doors.
Smart people have guessed that the Pei family is in trouble this time. If nothing else, can the eldest princess spare you?
So Pei Yun acted as a representative and knelt outside Yang Lihua's house to ask for an audience, but Yang Lihua didn't see him either. Instead, she asked her slave to tell him that the prince would handle the matter.
At Pei Xian's house.
Pei Xingyan overturned the table and angrily scolded Pei Shen in the hall, saying:
"I respect you as an elder in the clan, and I don't want to scold you, but you are always guarding the secretariat and reading those sages' books every day. You should know some ways of doing things, right? Who is King Liang? How dare you humiliate him like this? ?”
When Yang Jun was alive, he was also a very famous figure. The general manager of Bingzhou was the son of a serious second saint, with half of the north under his control.
Pei Shen had been scolded for a while. He was the one who caused the incident, so he was naturally called back to the capital urgently by his clan members.
Pei Nanjin also sighed and said: "The prince values the clan. This is an obvious fact. Prince Liang was also recalled by the prince. For the prince's sake, you shouldn't be in trouble with him, right?"
"Stop arguing!" Pei Xian slapped the elder one after another and coughed: "The matter has come to this, what's the use of scolding him? The top priority is to find a proper way to eliminate the conflict between the prince and the eldest princess. angry."
Pei Yun nodded solemnly and said: "I asked to see the prince yesterday, but the prince refused to see me. This matter has become a big deal. Now I can only rely on Ayun to mediate it."
Pei Renji sighed bitterly: "Don't let Ayunding do everything. Count on Ayun. What's the use of men like us?"
As he said that, Pei Renji raised his head and said, "The whole thing happened because of me. Tomorrow I will kneel at the gate of the East Palace and bear my thorns to apologize."
At this time, someone announced outside the door that the prince's concubine was here.
Everyone in the hall quickly stood up and went out to greet him.
Pei Xingyan stepped forward and helped Pei Shuying, who was pregnant, into the hall and sat down on the main seat.
After Pei Shuying sat down, she raised her hands to everyone: "Uncles and brothers, please sit down quickly."
"Thank you, Princess."
After saluting, everyone took their seats.
Pei Yun was the first to speak: "Does the Crown Prince know that the Crown Princess has left the palace?"
"Of course I have to tell the prince," Pei Shuying said to him: "The prince is really angry this time. I miss my mother's family and feel uneasy, so I came out of the palace to see you."
When everyone heard this, their faces were ashen, and the hall was filled with an air of decadence.
Then, Pei Shuying sighed softly and said:
"The prince said, you can enter the palace tomorrow. If he doesn't see you, His Majesty will see you."
Everyone was shocked and looked at each other subconsciously.
Pei Yun was the smartest and was the first to understand the meaning of this sentence and hurriedly said:
"This time I really dragged Ayun down. The prince is kind and virtuous, and I am ashamed of myself."
In Pei Yun's view, Yang Ming would not embarrass the Pei family too much for the sake of Pei Shuying, so the handling would not be severe. However, if Yang Ming did not handle it, then the emperor would handle matters involving the clan.
Everyone knew the emperor's temperament, and Pei Yun knew it even more.
