Latterns were hanged giving the place a festive look, on the top floor many people were seated to enjoy their food and wine beside one person. Pei Jin was dark face as Yusheng had yet to arrive.
His anger vanished when learning of her arrival and in swift movement he reaches downstairs to receive her. They have just came down from the carriage when face with Pei Jin. He very gently holds her arms "you have come...you must be hungry dinner has already started"
Pei Jin ushers her inside leaving his brother without even a glance. Pei Zhang quickly catches the couple and latches himself on the other side of Yusheng. Reaching the top floor everyone fell in silence and then quickly rise to greet her.
Yusheng gives a formal smile and let them take their seats back while moving towards their own seat. After finishing the dinner all of them were enjoying the music with wine.
The rythm was suddenly broken when Pei Zhang's accusing voice is heard "highness Shiyou...do you have something of matter...benwang has come to notice that you have been giving weird looks to benwang's sister in law?.."
Shiyou was startled after the finger pointing but was quick to patch things "nothing of that sort Junwang...this prince was lost from the news...thus prince was looking to thank the lord helping and educating our physicians earlier on the herbal tower.."
Everyone felt the answer to be reasonable as they too had heard of her feats. Pei Jin felt his green eye monster raising its head from all the glances that she was getting. Before Yusheng could answer Pei zhang snorts and accuses once again "Oh...that was the case...earlier in herbal tower even the physicians of huajin were giving weird looks...as if they wanted to capture benwang's sister in law..."
Shiyou's smile becomes awkward not knowing how to react. He cursed him as infamous dandy and troublemaker in his heart. He tries to evade the situation by smiling and toasting to Yusheng.
Pei Jin though knew his brother was dramatic and tend to act before thinking but still felt his own anger from hearing. He smiles and in a mocking voice says "it seems even the great physicians of huajin struggle with many things..a blessing to learn from benwang's beloved consort...they must have regretted for her not belonging to huajin..it's understandle.."
Shiyou becomes dark faced by the mocking and Pei Zhang was glowing from his brothers way of attack thus excitedly replies "royal brother...you are misunderstood..ah...sister in law even had to teach basic things to them like washing their hands and covering their face...they even had a dummy pricked all over by the accupunturing needles...if it were a person...he or she would have died from being stabbed by so many needles than from the disease..
Even benwang knows that art of acupunture is about precision of placing each needle on the right place...any misplacing could lead to serious consequences...but earlier it was a pitiful site to see...the poor dummy was laying like a porcupine with its needle raised.."
Many people were struggling to keep their laugh inside, while Qingfeng chokes on his wine and after a series of cough laughs outright "hahaha...really...man..I should have been there...I would love see a porcupine dummy...were they really trying to treat a patient or planning to kill...hahaha"
Yusheng and Chen Yi feels helpless from hearing Qingfeng while Pei Jin seemed satisfied. Shiyou and his party were bubbling with anger from the mocking and disrespect but could only keep it down as the people words though hideous but not tearing their face.
Pei zhang continues with excitement "hah...Feng'ge... benwang tells you it was very scary and disgusting to see...sister in law also must have felt the same...so being the mangnanimous and generous person she is...decided to help them to deal with that puny disease..you should have rather watched sister in laws art...ah...it was like...she was playing zither...so good to see..ah..
After learning rather than thanking her for the grace...they were giving weird looks...benwang could smell greed in air..ah.."
Yusheng was about to stop Pei zhang from yapping more but before she could one of the subordinate working as a royal censor for huajin shouts at Pei Zhang " your highness...you have gone a bit far...your words can have two nations go through misunderstanding and complications...as a prince and Junwang how do you not sense the gravity of situations.."
Pei zhang who was interrupted mid way was immediately livid with anger "what did you say?...who are you and by what right you dare to lecture benwang...what hurts to learn the truth is it...benwang is sharing what had happened...what gravity and complication...it is your foolish yapping mid way that will make it so...
How dare you belittle benwang...benwang has yet to say anything that might arise such situations...do you take benwang for a fool..or is it your true inner feelings to see chaos between two nations..hmmm"
