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

For three days in a row, Pei Zhi came to Guanju Courtyard as usual. When he saw that she was awake, he took her to the study.

He also said seriously: "I was too busy a few days ago and neglected you. Now I have to spend more time with Wanwan."

Yu Tingwan was in the inner room of the study. Occasionally, a minister asked to see him, so Pei Zhi went to the outer room.

After he came back, he sat in front of the desk and asked her to come to him. His cold and solemn face softened, and he hugged her and whispered that those ministers talked too much nonsense.

He was always concise and concise in his speech, and he disliked other people's waste of time with their words. Some civil servants liked to use rhetoric to embellish, and they couldn't get to the point after talking for a long time, let alone someone like Chen Du who said one sentence three times.

"Your Majesty." Yu Tingwan lowered his eyes, "Your Majesty has just issued the imperial edict of resignation. Do you really have no official business to be busy with?"

If nothing happened, how could these ministers come one after another.

"No."

The few people who came just now reported to him that the meditation platform in the suburbs of Beijing had been built.

As for other ministers, if they have anything to report, just write a note and hand it over.

"No one will come to disturb you today. Let's watch a puppet show later." Pei Zhi lowered his head and kissed the eyelashes of the person in his arms, as if thinking of something, "It's true that Marquis Pingyang has been very busy recently."

Yu Xiuyun went to court today and told King Wei that he would never be an examiner again. Most policy discussions were more uncomfortable for him than poison.

Yu Tingwan immediately looked at him, "Did you get a scholarship because of the opening of the subject?"

Pei Zhi nodded: "A few days ago, the various states and counties opened examinations to select candidates based on strategies. The examiners in each state were afraid that if they did not do well in selecting candidates for the first time, they would make a copy of the selected strategies and send them secretly to Chang'an. Please I’ll have a look at it with Marquis Pingyang.”

His eyes were filled with frost, and he seemed a little dissatisfied, "These people are just afraid of taking responsibility. They want to leave everything to Marquis Pingyang to decide, and they want the court to support them with salaries."

Yu Tingwan couldn't help but frown, a little worried: "You mean, my brother not only has official duties in Chang'an these days, but also has to read the policies sent by the Thirteen Prefectures?"

Isn't that a night's work? The sight of her brother vomiting blood was vivid in her mind. Yu Tingwan couldn't help but tugged on the sleeve of the man next to her and asked with concern: "Has the appointment been decided yet?"

Looking at her expression, Pei Zhi was originally in a good mood, but suddenly his face turned cold, his eyes darkened, and his heart surged with sourness.

"It's settled." He paused, "I read those policies together with Marquis Pingyang."

Yu Tingwan understood what he meant. It was just that he was much busier than Marquis Pingyang, but she only cared about her brother.

"My brother is frail," she explained.

When Yu Xiuyun pretended to be Shen Jiyuan in Jinling, he was able to knock out officials with different political opinions with a jade scepter. However, he was so angry that he vomited blood in Jingzhou, which impressed Yu Tingwan deeply.

"I haven't been feeling well lately." Pei Zhi's tone was cold, and she was so angry that he was confused.

"Maybe one day I die, and I will be mourned for three years every night."

Yu Tingwan didn't know what to say, so he said cautiously: "How about asking the imperial doctor to come?"

She suddenly came close to his face and looked at it carefully. It was clear that there was no sign of illness. From the corners of his eyes to the tips of his eyebrows to his lips, he was no different from before.

"No need." Seeing her appearance, Pei Zhi said calmly, "Just stay with me as long as possible."

"You lied to me again."

Seeing his noncommittal expression, Yu Tingwan became even more annoyed.

"It's human nature for me to care about my brother, but you are not happy. In the past, when I said a few words to him, you would become sullen. Today, you are the one who mentioned him, and I said a few words of concern, but you are so angry."

"Forget it just to show off. Even if people don't believe in gods and Buddhas, they still have taboos. Why do you always make fun of things like this and scare others?"

"Since you are feeling unwell, I won't disturb you."

The more she talked, the more annoyed she became, and she wanted to break away from his arm and leave directly.

Pei Zhi was stunned. Seeing the tears that could not fall from her eyes, he took out a silk handkerchief and wiped them. "I never forbid you to care about him. It has been decided who will be used. He has been fine recently and should be there too." Marquis Mansion, I will accompany you to see him tomorrow."

He lowered his head and gently brushed the end of her eyes with his fingertips, "Why are you crying? I like you so much, how dare I show off to you."

He felt regretful in his heart. He clearly knew that Yu Tingwan cared about Pingyang Marquis, so why did he mention that so much.

Pei Zhi stared at her and said in a harsh voice, "It's my fault. You are deeply in love with the Pingyang Marquis brother and sister. I shouldn't compare with him."

He knew that Wan Wan didn't like his behavior and felt that he was too cruel and cold-hearted, so it didn't matter that she was kind to those maids, smiled at Xie Wu Niang and Huan Si Niang, and cared about them sincerely.

But why could Yu Tingwan be open to Pingyang Houwang? Yu Xiuyun's methods of eliminating dissidents in Jinling were much dirtier than those of the King of Wei.

When Yu Xiuyun took her away twice, the methods he used were to use the lives of dead soldiers to pave the way, which was not in any way upright and noble.

He is the same kind of person as Marquis Pingyang at heart. Marquis Pingyang is a good brother who can be relied on. But when his turn comes, he is nothing. He can't even say "husband".

It would be fine if they were just brother and sister, but every time Yu Tingwan compromised with him, or even tried to please him, it was almost always for Marquis Pingyang.

Pei Zhi kept his jealousy deep in his heart and said nothing to her, lest she think he was unreasonable.

Even he himself felt that this raging and strong jealousy was inexplicable.

As soon as he said the sentence "I shouldn't compare with him", a chord in his mind was broken by a flood of emotions.

"The Marquis of Pingyang has killed as many people as me, why can you greet him with a smile? You are also busy with everything. You only think about him. In the end, you don't forget to explain that he is weak. If he is weak, he must be in Jinling back then." There are many nobles who can escape the disaster of genocide."

Shocked by the overwhelming emotion in his pupils, Yu Tingwan froze, feeling ridiculous.

Even though she was not familiar with love, she still knew that the normal possessiveness between men and women was not like this.

Brotherly love is a natural thing, and Yu Tingwan never imagined that Pei Zhi would be jealous of her brother.

She raised her head and explained to him: "Brother is my family."

The last two words were like a needle, stimulating Pei Zhi to the point where he almost lost control for a moment. After trying to control his expression, he looked at Yu Tingwan intently.

"The Marquis of Pingyang has his own wife, and they will have children in the future. I am the only one who can always accompany you. I am the one who can live and die in the same bed with you. I can be next to your name on the tombstone. Thousands of years later, when others write books and biographies, they will mention you when they write about me. I am also the person who can be entangled with you in the paper and ink and never be separated."

His eyes were dark and his voice was a little hoarse: "Wanwan, the person you should care about the most is obviously me."

"I..." Yu Tingwan choked, "Your Majesty, the love between brothers and sisters, the love between bosom friends, and the love between men and women do not interfere with each other."

How can these be compared together? She felt that Pei Zhi was confused and that's why he thought so.

Yu Tingwan thought that the explanation was clearer and could finally comfort him, but she heard that his breathing became faster.

Pei Zhi was thinking, it turned out that Wan Wan could tell the difference clearly.

Therefore, it's not that she only cares about the brother-sister relationship and forgets about herself, but that she has no affection for herself at all and doesn't care about him.

The emotion in my chest suddenly sank, like a rocky beach exposed after low tide, densely covered with gravel, empty and silent.

Yu Tingwan saw that his reaction seemed to have calmed down a lot. She just breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him bowing his head and kissing her forehead.

"Did I scare you just now?"

She shook her head, "No."

Pei Zhi looked as if he hadn't said anything just now, and said softly: "That's good. It's still early. Don't you like puppet shows? I'll go watch them with you."
