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

Thinking of his usual appearance, Yu Tingwan froze up. Could it be another improper favor?

Guessing what she was thinking, Pei Zhi couldn't help laughing a few times and told her about Zhang Yuan.

"Wanwan, he lives in the suburbs of Beijing. In a few days, I will personally invite him to serve as an official."

Yu Tingwan was a little confused. Someone like Zhang Yuan was indeed worth hiring, but why did Pei Zhi want her to help?

"Although Zhang Yuan has a weird temper now, he very much listens to his wife's words."

"You asked me to convince his wife." Yu Tingwan understood, looking a little strange.

Thinking that she was unwilling, Pei Zhi gently touched the back of her neck and whispered: "The situation in Youzhou is complicated. Pei Jing can suppress it, but it is not a solution. Zhang Yuan is most suitable for the position of governor of Youzhou."

"It's not that I don't want to help you." Yu Tingwan interrupted him, with an unclear look in his eyes, and murmured: "Zhang Yuan is a Confucian scholar who values ​​etiquette the most."

"Everyone in Chang'an knows that I was once a noble concubine." She paused, "Your Majesty, if you take me there, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive."

Yu Tingwan pinched his sleeve and said in a harsh tone: "There are some official family members in Chang'an who dare not say anything openly, but they will say anything privately, just in case Mrs. Zhang thinks the same as them."

Pei Zhi's face froze. With him and Ping Yanghou around, those officials did not dare to say anything on this matter for the sake of their official career.

It's rare to find one or two people who are not afraid of death. Even after being demoted, they all know how to shut up.

But he didn't know that there were so many gossips among the official family members. Pei Zhi's voice was filled with chills: "What did they say?"

"It's just that I think it's unreasonable for me to be Princess Wei."

Yu Tingwan neither liked the flattery of others nor accepted bribes from officials and family members, so he helped introduce the King of Wei.

Later, an official wanted to give his daughter to King Wei. After Pei Zhi refused, others felt that it was Princess Wei who refused, and they were even more unhappy with her.

So some said that she seduced King Wei in the palace to seize the throne, and some said that she was jealous.

Naturally, I dare not tell her these things face to face, but there are always officials and family members who want to please her and tell them, and put these words in front of her eyes.

Huan Siniang, Xie Yun, and Shen Liuniang had a good relationship with her, but they themselves had mixed reputations for acting casually. Some people even complained that Princess Wei was hanging out with people like Huan Siniang.

Yu Tingwan didn't feel annoyed, these gossips couldn't hurt her at all.

Pei Zhi's anger loomed, Yu Tingwan lied to him again, and those remarks were definitely much more unpleasant than this. Wanwan was afraid that he would mobilize troops and mobilize people to punish him, so she kept it vague.

"I'm not even angry. Why are you so angry?" Yu Tingwan saw the veins on the back of his hand. He hesitated for a moment and stretched out his hand to hold her. "Besides, Mrs. Gaolingting is dead, so there are fewer people who say such things."

Yu Tingwan glanced at his face and continued: "These are just gossips from the back house. If you punish them severely because of these, you will be criticized."

Pei Zhi pinched his eyebrows and seemed a little tired. He said calmly: "Wanwan, I don't kill people. Tell me, why are they insulting you?"

She picked a few words and sat on Pei Zhi's lap. She lowered her head and did not look at his face. She only heard his rapid breathing and suddenly chuckled, which was inexplicably chilling.

"Why didn't I know about seducing King Wei?" Pei Zhi suppressed his anger and said to the woman in his arms, "Why didn't you tell me before?"

Yu Tingwan lowered her eyes. She thought there was no need to talk about this before. If she hadn't mentioned inviting Zhang Yuan today, I'm afraid she would never have said it.

"There is no one in the world that everyone likes, and a king cannot avoid being ridiculed. Previously, a scholar mocked your decree in front of your face. Didn't you punish him instead? Instead, you said that sarcasm is a good thing."

Pei Zhi was so angry at Yu Tingwan's absurd reasoning that he laughed, "What's the matter? That scholar has something to say, but these words of scolding you have no basis and are pouring dirty water on your head."

He was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "Are you really not sad Wanwan?"

Pei Zhi remembered that Pei Shu had been discussed privately before. Pei Shu whipped the man with a whip and then continued to play carelessly, but Yu Tingwan obviously did not know how to whip others.

"Why should I be sad? They hate me privately, but they are still respectful when they see me. It's a bit funny."

Seeing that she didn't look fake, Pei Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the indifferent expression of the woman in his arms, pain filled his heart. The suppressed anger only made the pain even more unbearable.

He lowered his eyes and stared at Yu Tingwan, "You come with me to the Zhang family. If they are that kind of pedantic and stubborn people, they are not suitable to be the governor of Youzhou."

Yu Tingwan nodded and said softly: "Is there anything I need to pay attention to? For example, Mrs. Zhang's likes and dislikes."

"It's all in the letter." Pei Zhi pointed to the envelope on the desk not far away. Inside was the information sent by Dragon Slayer Guard.

Pei Zhi lowered his head, and Yu Tingwan's face was slightly raised, her eyes were serious, and she looked well-behaved and lovable.

A trace of anger grew in his heart, and he had already guessed who was spreading the rumors.

The Chang'an gentry have always understood the importance of superiority and inferiority. Even in private, they must have had the courage to speak against Princess Wei like this, even if it was in private.

The number of veterans of the Pei family who were more powerful than the Marquis of Pingyang could be counted on one hand to pick off King Wei so cleanly.

On the small road outside Chang'an City, a carriage walked slowly forward.

The car was narrow, and Yu Tingwan was sitting on Pei Zhi's lap. He couldn't help but lift the curtain and take a look. There was smoke from the kitchen not far away.

It should be arriving soon.

The carriage stopped, and Chi Ying stepped forward and knocked on the simple but clean courtyard door. An old servant opened the door and froze on the spot.

The young man in front of him walked gracefully and elegantly, and the woman beside him had a gentle expression and beautiful appearance.

A few days ago, officials from Prince Wei's palace came, but they were all declined. The Zhang family thought that no one would come to the door again. This old servant had been with Zhang Yuan through ups and downs, and had seen the world a lot. He guessed who these two people were, and hurriedly hurriedly salute.

"It's a lonely person who comes to the door rashly, why should he be polite?"

Zhang Yuan was applying medicine in the house and was shocked when he heard that King Wei was coming.

Pei Zhi restrained his momentum today, his eyes were not as condescending as usual, and he sat opposite the middle-aged man in front of him.

There were only King Wei and Zhang Yuan in the main room. Even the high-ranking officials in Chang'an would inevitably weigh every word when they saw King Wei. They were afraid that any words would ruin Qingyun Road. However, Zhang Yuan had no intention of power, and instead had a free and easy demeanor.

Pei Zhi only nodded occasionally and seemed taciturn, leading the frustrated middle-aged man in front of him to take the initiative to mention his previous experience in Yingchuan.

Zhang Yuan paused, realizing that King Wei had taken control of him with just a few words, seemingly chatting but always controlling his emotions.

When King Wei came to visit him in person, he began to waver.

It had only been a quarter of an hour now. When Zhang Yuan heard the words "I will treat you like a countryman," he couldn't help but feel excited. Finally, he suppressed himself and pondered for a while and said: "Everything in a common man's family is decided by his wife. You still need to listen to your wife's opinion."

Zhang Yuan walked outside the east wing and was about to push the door in when he heard Mrs. Zhang and the princess talking.

"It's better to go in now and disturb me, waiting here alone."

Zhang Yuan was about to say how could he let the guests wait outside, but seeing Pei Zhi's calm expression, he kept silent and stood silently outside together.
