The beauty is delicate and soft, and he madly criticizes the powerful officials for taking her as th

"What's more, what the imperial concubine said about the engagement is completely false." Pei Zhi's usually calm tone contained a hint of anger.

This rumor must have been spread by Mrs. Cui, fearing that Pei Zhi would give Mr. Cui face if he got it right, and he was quite confident in his daughter.

However, Pei Zhi hated being manipulated the most in his life. Anyone who dared to think about him would have been turned into a withered bone in the grave. He did not expect that after he succeeded to the throne, he would still be manipulated in his marriage.

Yu Tingwan glanced at Pei Zhi with some surprise. Seeing that he was obviously not in a good mood, he was very aware of current affairs and said, "Sorry, I heard some rumors in the palace and misunderstood Your Highness."

Pei Zhi realized that his emotions had been exposed just now. He was stunned for a moment, exchanged a few casual greetings and left. He did not go to the palace for more than ten days in a row.

No one in the harem came to trouble Yu Tingwan for the time being, and she was living a relatively comfortable life in Yilan Palace.

"Your Majesty, Cui Rouyi came to live in the East Palace recently." After Qiu Tao came back from outside, the first thing he did was to tell Yu Tingwan.

"Why did she come to the East Palace?" Yu Tingwan was puzzled. The Cui family would not be so stupid as to give their daughter to the prince as a concubine.

"I heard that the Crown Princess was ill. Mrs. Cui has some relatives in the Wen family, so she came over to stay with the Crown Princess."

"The princess is sick?"

Yu Tingwan remembered that the Crown Princess had a fierce temper and was always in good health. She had not been sick even during the coldest season, but now that the weather was warmer, she was getting sick instead.

The princess was angry with the prince. After Ruyi was thrown into the cold palace, the prince found another beauty who looked exactly like Yu Tingwan.

The prince simply stayed in the East Palace enjoying himself with beauties every day and did not even go to court.

A few days ago, the prince drank several bowls of deer blood wine and spent the whole night with the beauty. Under his drunken eyes, his five-figure appearance turned into an eight-point figure. The prince pinched the beauty's slim waist with his palms and murmured the name "noble concubine".

The beauty froze in fright at the prince's words of "royal concubine". The prince didn't notice and squeezed the soft flesh in his palm until it turned red.

The Crown Princess's face was livid when she came in. When she stood in front of the couch, she clearly heard who the Crown Prince was calling, and she fainted without even taking a breath.

Such a scandal would naturally be suppressed. The princess beat the beauty to death with a stick and was bedridden after being scolded by the prince.

"Ashu, if I had known that the prince was so ridiculous, no matter what I said, I would never have married into the East Palace."

Ashu was the Crown Princess's maid, and comforted her: "Your Highness is fascinated by the beauty of the Princess. You will remember your Majesty after a while."

"No." The princess shook her head, "No matter how presumptuous he was before, he would come to my room on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. Now he is so confused that he may have forgotten that he is still the prince."

The Crown Princess choked and said, "What's the difference between me and being a widow?"

Seeing that she was sad, Ashu became anxious and said softly: "Your Majesty, as long as the prince doesn't see your concubine for a long time, even this beautiful person will not be able to remember her clearly."

The Crown Princess was silent for a moment, "She is a noble concubine after all, and she is half my elder."

The Great Zhou Dynasty ruled the world with loyalty and filial piety. If her harm to Yu Tingwan was revealed, the Wen family would remove her from the family tree that day and completely draw a clear line.

Ashu coughed twice and hinted: "Don't the Cui family want to send Cui Rouyi to accompany the queen?"

"Didn't Cui Rouyi enter the palace just to meet Pei Zhi by chance? She has no grudge against Yu Tingwan, so why should she help me?"

The Crown Princess sneered slightly, Cui Rouyi would probably be waiting on the palace road all day long, waiting to meet by chance. At this time, she would like to use these relatives who are out of reach.

"Your Majesty, no one outside knows what happened in Zichen Palace that night. You just need to give a few hints, and she will target the imperial concubine."

"This..." The Crown Princess hesitated, "The King of Wei has said that this matter will never be leaked."

Ashu was also a little helpless, "Mom, there is no need to tell everything about that day."

The Crown Princess lay down again, closed her eyes and said, "Okay, I understand. You go and deliver a letter to the Cui family and discuss when to deliver the person."

Before Cui Rouyi saw the Crown Princess, she looked around the East Palace and lamented that although the palace was magnificent, the furnishings in the inner rooms were a bit old, probably due to lack of money for repairs.

"Are you Cui Rouyi?" The Crown Princess was still ill, so she did not stay at the hotel and looked at her while asking.

"Yes." Cui Rouyi obviously didn't take the Crown Princess seriously.

The Crown Princess was also a little displeased, "I know what you want to do when you come to me. Since King Wei has personally rejected you, why should you be obsessed with him."

Cui Rouyi's face turned red. She had a noble family and good looks. She never expected that Pei Zhi would be unwilling to marry her.

She inquired about it and found out that Pei Zhi had no intention of marrying other nobles, so she ignited a glimmer of hope. Maybe the King of Wei didn't dislike her, but just didn't want to get married for the time being.

The Crown Princess looked at her expression and guessed what she was thinking. She sneered and said, "That's all. Just wait at the palace road every day. Maybe you can meet King Wei a few times."

"Empress, although I am asking for your help, Cui also promised Wen a favor. Why do you carry a gun and a stick like this?"

"Tell me the truth, you can't bear it anymore?" The Crown Princess stared at Cui Rouyi's unconvinced eyes, "How could Pei Zhi marry you when he has someone he likes?"

Cui Rouyi turned pale and murmured: "Impossible."

The King of Wei had followed his late king on military expeditions in the north and south since he was a child. Later, when he returned to the capital, he devoted himself to government affairs all day long, and he never heard of anyone he was in love with.

"All men love beauty, let alone the most beautiful woman in the world." The princess looked out the window with a faint look.

"Impossible!" Cui Rouyi was a little flustered and said intermittently: "How could he not get married just for..."

Seeing her put on the trap, the Crown Princess raised a smile and said, "On the day the Imperial Concubine entered the palace, His Majesty was critically ill. Yu Tingwan was originally supposed to be buried in the grave. Do you know who came to save her?"

Cui Rouyi fell silent. She seemed calm, but in fact her breathing was a lot faster.

The Crown Princess added more firewood, fearing that the fire would not be strong enough, "The noble concubine has not yet been favored. As long as King Wei is willing, she can be welcomed back to the palace with a different identity. It is no different from an unmarried body like you."

"Besides, the generals under King Wei who were born in Qingzhou and Yanzhou are also happy to see King Wei not marry a daughter from a noble family." The princess suddenly said "Hey", "I remember that Zhang Yushu, the cavalry general who is still on the front line, seems to be related to him. The imperial concubine is a fellow countryman."

Cui Rouyi closed her eyes, took a deep breath and said, "Madam, I want to rest for a while."

"Okay, Ashu, take Rou Yi to the back hall." The Crown Princess was very satisfied with her reaction.

Cui Rouyi sat by the couch and asked her maid to prepare cold tea for herself. After drinking it, her internal organs were cold, and she finally suppressed her anger.

She thought for a moment, and in the next few days, she changed her contemptuous attitude and tried her best to greet the princess.

When the Crown Princess's condition improved slightly, Cui Rouyi seemed to have said unintentionally: "My Majesty's condition is very good, why not entertain the Princess to a banquet and add some excitement to the East Palace."
