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

The late king disliked Pei Jing's squeamishness, so he said to his eldest son: "He will be following you all day long. From now on, you will leave his schoolwork to you for examinations, so you don't have to be merciful."

Later, he went to Youzhou. Whenever he returned to Beijing, Pei Zhi would have a discussion with him.

The martial arts arena is on the west side of the palace, on an empty stone platform, with the cold wind blowing by my ears.

Pei Zhi put on a pair of light clothes, his figure was tall and straight, and his face was cold and calm as usual. Only his sharp and awe-inspiring eyes when the long sword was unsheathed could give a glimpse of the outstanding demeanor of a young man who would always be the first in battle.

Pei Jing recalled the days when he charged behind his eldest brother, and couldn't help but his eyes lit up and his blood surged.

The excitement lasted for less than half an hour. He hid while shouting: "Eldest brother, eldest brother, eldest brother! Isn't this a competition?"

Pei Zhi finally sheathed his sword and said in a deep voice: "Throw away those fancy tricks of yours and use the wooden sword alone."

Pei Jing's eyes widened when he heard this. The wooden sword was the one he used back then. It was stained with cinnabar. If he hit him, it would leave marks. After the sparring session, the eldest brother would look at the marks and point out his mistakes one by one.

His eldest brother's swordsmanship was on the same level as Pei Xu's. Every killing move honed on the battlefield was aimed at Feng's throat. He was merciful just now. Pei Jing's scalp went numb and he said quickly: "Brother, I was wrong. Yes, I have been too comfortable in Youzhou these two years, and I have retreated instead of advancing."

"Really?" A gentle smile appeared on Pei Zhi's lips, "That's not what you said in your letter. It shows that the third brother has just become humble."

"Pick up the sword and come again."

Pei Jing felt extremely uncomfortable. Wasn't he asking for help from his elder brother and embellishing the recent situation?

He gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, I wanted to ask you for something, so I made some nonsense."

"What can't be said directly?"

Hearing his eldest brother's faint anger, Pei Jing did not dare to raise his eyes to look at him. He only glanced to the side and saw a figure in the distance.

"Sister-in-law?"

Pei Zhi paused, hurriedly walked to Yu Tingwan, took the handkerchief from the servant, wiped his hands, habitually put his arms around her shoulders and carried her into his arms, lightly touching her cheek with his palm, feeling that she was blown away by the wind. Ice cold.

Yu Tingwan pushed him quickly. He had just wielded the sword, and even though he was wearing thin clothes, his palm was much hotter than hers, making her ears turn red.

"It's so cold, why don't you stay in the inner room?" He lowered his eyelashes and asked her, "Did I keep you waiting for too long?"

"A minister is looking for you."

"Just ask the servant to come over, why bother to come in person." He held the plain hands, "I didn't bring a hand warmer."

Yu Tingwan explained: "Chen Xi was looking for you. I was afraid that something was urgent, so I came here to look for you."

She couldn't push him away, so she was hugged by the shoulders and greeted Bopinghou.

Pei Jing smiled happily. He didn't need to spar anymore. He just waited for his eldest brother to tell him to go back home.

Pei Zhi couldn't see how hopeless he looked, "Wait in the front hall. After Chen Xi leaves, explain clearly why you are seeking to be alone."

Yu Tingwan whispered: "Then I will go back to Guanjuyuan first."

"Just stay in the inner room, and we'll go back together for dinner at the next time." He paused and said warmly, "I asked them to stew pigeon soup today."

After returning to the study, Chen Xi, who was waiting outside, handed the box in his hand to King Wei, "I brought what my lord wanted."

After he finished speaking, he left. Pei Zhi opened the box and took a look.

A strange tiger charm.

Putting the box on the table in the inner room, Pei Zhi looked at the woman on the imperial concubine's couch, and walked towards her holding the string of southern red Buddhist beads that Pei Jing had brought.

Yu Tingwan was reading the scroll in his hand when his wrist was suddenly raised. A pair of hands came into view, with sharp knuckles and a sharp contrast between the blue veins on the back of the hand and the bright red beads.

Pei Zhi personally put the string of Buddhist beads on her.

One hundred and eight Buddhist beads were wrapped around the woman's wrist several times. The strong crimson color was concentrated on the beads, and the red jade lined the snowy skin.

He smiled attentively and said, "It's really suitable for Wanwan."

Yu Tingwan was stunned, "Isn't this given to you by Marquis Boping?"

The smile on Pei Zhi's lips deepened. Even if the things he asked for from the Jokhang Temple were effective, how could he wear them?

"Buddha will not bless me, but I hope he will bless you."

Unlike him, Yu Tingwan had no blood on his hands.

He thought of the maid named Ruyi in Guanyongyuan, and thought that if the Buddha did not bless Wanwan, it meant that the gods and Buddhas were blind and blind, so he would be right to burn down the temple.

If the beads were as useful as Pei Jing said, he would reshape the Buddha statues in Jokhang Temple into gold.

Pei Jing's voice came from outside asking for permission. He said loudly: "Brother, can I come in?"

Yu Tingwan quickly took out his hand and kept distance from Pei Zhi.

When Pei Jing came in, he saw the string of Buddhist beads on his sister-in-law's hand and was not unhappy.

His eldest brother didn't believe this, so he was satisfied that the beads could be accepted.

They are all members of the Pei family anyway, and the same goes for the beads in the hands of the eldest sister-in-law.

Pei Jing did not forget what he wanted to ask King Wei. He coughed twice and seemed a little embarrassed to speak.

"Eldest brother, I want to ask you for a marriage."

Pei Zhi was silent for a moment, "Just this little thing?"

"It's a bit troublesome." Pei Jing frowned and thought about the wording, "It's the concubine I raised in Youzhou. She was originally a slave. I want to wait until next year... after the clan is divided into clans, I can make her a concubine."

He was born to the same mother as the King of Wei, and he should be named a prince next year, and the prince's concubine will be given a jade certificate.

If he hadn't relied on the grant of marriage, I'm afraid the impeachment would have drowned him out.

King Wei, who was sitting upright, suddenly held the hand of the woman beside him, his face turned green, and he thought Pei Jing was asking for a serious marriage.

If he had known this, he would never have let Wan Wan listen.

There was a chill in his voice, "You haven't married yet, but you are raising an extra wife. How can you behave like this?"

"There was a censor who impeached you for misbehaving, but you were suppressed." Pei Zhi glanced at him lightly.

"Brother, I am staying clean in Youzhou." After Pei Jing finished speaking, he paused for a moment and said bravely: "When we ransacked the Changli County Sheriff's house earlier, the dog - the County Sheriff saw that he could not survive, so he wanted to kill the singer in the house. They were all killed and buried with her. I think there is a girl who is only fourteen or fifteen years old. She is really pitiful."

"According to what you said, it's a sign of compassion." Pei Zhi became more and more indifferent, "If Gu Ruo doesn't agree, he will be merciless."

"Brother, I just raise her, and I only see her once during the day on the fifteenth day of every month."

"There are so many singers, how many have you pitied?" Pei Zhi felt that Marquis Boping was full of loopholes even in his lies. "Because you are pitiful, you came to ask for the position of concubine. How could I not know that you are so kind-hearted?"

Pei Jing's face turned pale. He only pitied that one because she looked like Xu Mingyue.

But he couldn't say that. As soon as he returned to Beijing, he heard that Pei Shu was causing trouble for Xu Mingyue. He went to question him angrily, but was scolded.

Pei Shu didn't say why, she just said that Xu Mingyue angered her eldest brother, so he had to stop playing.

Pei Jing simply knelt on the ground and said, "Eldest brother, this is the only one. She looks like my sweetheart."

At this time, even Yu Tingwan raised his head and glanced at Marquis Boping with some surprise.

Pei Zhi finally stood up and looked at him condescendingly. His eyes were like frost and snow, but his tone was calm, as if he was extremely disappointed.

"Stand up and go outside to talk with me."
