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

The Crown Princess looked calm, nodded and said, "That's right."

On the order of the Crown Princess, Ashu went to invite the ladies of the various palaces. When he arrived at the Yilan Palace, he saw a beauty in plain clothes leaning against the window. She was still stunningly beautiful even without any makeup.

Even though she was a woman, Ashu couldn't help but dazzled. After entering, he kept his head down and didn't dare to look at Yu Tingwan.

"Isn't the Crown Princess sick? Why does she want to invite us all of a sudden?"

"Go back to your Majesty, you're fine now."

Yu Tingwan sighed softly, "Since all the ladies in the palace have gone, I will naturally attend the appointment as scheduled."

Ashu breathed a sigh of relief, left Yilan Hall with a smile, and walked on the road. The cold wind blew and his mind finally became clearer. He wanted to slap himself.

She murmured to herself: "That's a vixen. Ashu, how can you think she's pretty?"

In the Yilan Hall, Yu Tingwan looked tired and said to Qiu Tao beside him: "Not long after the peaceful days, someone is looking for trouble again."

Jiao Yue said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will protect you."

Qiutao rolled her eyes at the side, "As long as you don't show the dagger, it's protection."

Last time Jiaoyue went to the dining room to get a snack, she was used to holding a sword, but she was clumsy when picking up the plate. She dropped the dagger on the ground and almost had Pei's mark seen.

Jiao Yue was a little puzzled, "Why can't others see it? King Wei asked his slave to carry this dagger with him just to let the queen take advantage of her."

Dragon Slayer Guard worked for Pei Zhi, and when he was used to reporting his name, the other party was scared out of his wits, and Pei's power was not wasted.

After spending these days together, Yu Tingwan also understood Jiao Yue's temperament, and explained: "I am a concubine, and it is inconvenient for others to know that I am involved with the officials of the previous dynasty."

"Why is it inconvenient?" Jiao Yue still looked stupid, "Who dares to criticize King Wei? They know that the empress is protected by King Wei, and they dare not say anything to you."

Jiaoyue grew up with her mother among barbarians since she was a child. She saw one more woman being passed on to two brothers, even father and son, so she looked down upon many etiquette in the Central Plains.

"You..." Yu Tingwan had a headache.

Jiao Yue said nervously: "What's wrong? Is the empress not feeling well? I will ask the imperial doctor to come."

Qiu Tao said quietly: "If you stop saying a few words, I will be fine."

Jiao Yue really shut up and stood aside in silence.

The day before the banquet, Jiao Yue found an opportunity to wait for Pei Zhi on the palace road next to Zichen Palace. She saw Cui Rouyi standing there and quietly covered herself up.

The Dragon-Slaying Guard beside Pei Zhi cleared the way for him, looking in all directions and listening in all directions. He stepped forward and said to Cui Rouyi: "The King of Wei is coming, please stay away."

Cui Rouyi specially dressed elegantly today, but she didn't expect to be recognized as a palace maid. She was so angry that she held her breath in her chest, but seeing the sword on the Dragon Slaying Guard's waist, she had no choice but to leave silently.

The sound of rolling carriages echoed in the palace road, and the bright moon stood respectfully by the road, deliberately showing the mark on the dagger, and after the sedan slowly stopped in front of her, she handed over a letter.

Pei Zhi opened the curtain. He had not been in a good mood recently. After reading the letter at a glance, his expression became as cold as frost and snow.

Jiao Yue was a little nervous. She didn't know what King Wei was thinking. He gently touched the word "Pei" on the sword at his waist.

"I know."

The bright moon felt like a general amnesty, and he quickly resigned.

On the second day, Yu Tingwan wore an apricot-colored satin skirt, with her black hair tied up casually, achieving the ultimate in low-key.

The Crown Princess was the host, and it was agreed that the concubines would get together, but the Crown Prince came as soon as he smelled the smell, and sat on his own, not knowing what he was waiting for.

"Prince, all the ladies are here today, you'd better restrain yourself." The Crown Princess lowered her voice, feeling a little dizzy again.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." The prince said perfunctorily, his eyes were slightly green, it was obvious that he had not slept well in recent days.

When Yu Ting arrived late, Concubine Xian had already sat down and said with a smile: "The noble concubine is finally here. I told Concubine De just now that you will be in Yilan Hall all day long and we won't be able to see you."

Yu Tingwan sat next to Concubine Xian, so he chatted with her for a few more words and found that Concubine Xian was quite talkative.

The prince glanced at Yu Tingwan from time to time, his eyes wanting to be glued to her. Cui Rouyi was a guest, and his seat was close to the princess. No matter how slow he was, he could tell that something was wrong.

"Your Majesty, why don't you have any decent jewelry?" The prince felt itchy and finally couldn't help but talk, "There are still some in the warehouse. I will send them to you personally tomorrow."

The expressions on the faces of the concubines became subtle. The crown prince's face froze and she twitched her lips, "I have never noticed that the concubine is not wearing any jewelry today."

"It seems that the beauty of the imperial concubine is comparable to that of my concubine Xia Ji, and there is no need for pearls, gold and silver to set her off."

Concubine Xian suddenly had a headache and felt that the Crown Princess was stupid for actually comparing Xia Ji, who had killed two ministers of a country, to Yu Tingwan.

Yu Tingwan had been familiar with history books since he was a child. After being humiliated, he sneered, "In terms of beauty, who can compare to Mrs. Xu."

"Pfft", Chen Zhaoyi laughed out loud, and Concubine De couldn't help but smile, but the Crown Princess's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Mrs. Xu is the aunt of the Crown Princess. After her husband was killed by Pei Xu, she seduced Pei Xu and gave birth to her fourth son, Pei Shen, after entering the Wei Palace.

In troubled times, it was normal to kidnap the wives and concubines of defeated generals and enter the backyard, but Mrs. Xu personally drugged Pei Xu and made her pregnant for the first Wei king to accept her.

Mrs. Xu's mother's family was ashamed of this, and the princess was often ridiculed because of this aunt, and the marriage was delayed for a long time.

The Crown Princess was so angry that her teeth itched, and she was about to make up for it when she heard a burst of chaotic footsteps coming from outside.

Without anyone announcing the news, the door of the palace was forcibly opened, and Pei Zhi walked in with a smile on his face.

"I'm looking for the prince to discuss matters today. I heard that the prince was here, so I came to invite him in person."

Pei Zhi looked over with serious eyes, apologetic, and his voice became gentler, "Princess, please forgive me for causing any inconvenience."

The Crown Princess glanced at the guards outside the palace, maintained her manners, and said in a trembling voice: "Of course I don't mind. Come and show King Wei his seat."

"No, I don't like to eat in the palace. I just wait for His Highness the Crown Prince outside the palace."

The prince put down his wine glass nervously and stood up to leave with Pei Zhi, "There is no reason to keep King Wei waiting for so long."

The wine glass was not placed firmly and the wine spilled all over the prince. Concubine Wang Xian sighed again for being so reckless and timid.

Pei Zhi's voice was calm and steady: "Since the Crown Prince needs to change his clothes, I--"

"No, there's no need to wait." The prince waved his hands quickly. He didn't want to go with Pei Zhi. "The King of Wei will go to the Zichen Palace first."

"In this case, the imperial concubine will leave with the minister first." Pei Zhi suddenly glanced at Yu Tingwan.

Yu Tingwan suddenly heard his name, raised his eyes and looked at him, and actually saw a smile in it.

"I just visited your majesty. I heard that your majesty ordered your concubine to attend to your illness. It is estimated that the eunuch summoned has not arrived yet."

Pei Zhi hid his smile and explained seriously. Cui Rouyi believed it and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Pei Zhi was the only one in the palace who could ride a horse, so he arrived earlier than the palace officials from Zichen Palace, which was normal.

Yu Tingwan didn't believe his words. According to Que Wen's advice, the emperor should be sleeping soundly at this moment.

After leaving the East Palace, Pei Zhi and Yu Tingwan walked side by side and said in a calm tone: "My carriage is not far away. If your concubine is willing, I will take you back to Yilan Palace."
