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

Yu Tingwan was in a daze and felt someone gently clasping his palm. He opened his eyes with difficulty and saw someone standing next to the couch.

"You haven't had dinner yet, why did you fall asleep?"

The person who spoke had a gentle tone and a concerned look on his face, showing no guilt that the instigator should have.

He was holding a bowl of porridge in his hand. "The dining room made bird's nest porridge and pine pulp rolls, using honey from Bohai County as tribute."

"I will not eat."

Yu Tingwan silently pulled on the brocade quilt. She was very sleepy and had no appetite at all.

"Then just drink the bird's nest." Pei Zhi did not insist on persuading her. He helped her stand up. Seeing that she could hardly open her eyelids, he put the porcelain spoon in his hand between her lips, signaling to open her mouth.

When Yu Tingwan woke up again, it was past midnight. When Ruyi was combing her hair, she suddenly asked: "Is there a nanny named Gui in the dining room, who is from Jinyang, Bingzhou?"

At the palace banquet yesterday, she saw that although Pei Shu was smiling, her face was pale and haggard, and even makeup could not cover it up. She was so thin that the veins on the back of her hands were much more obvious than before.

Pei Shu just said that the child was too noisy and couldn't eat. Many women were like this. It was nothing unusual, so she changed the subject.

Only when the banquet was coming to an end, Yu Tingwan casually mentioned that the Bingzhou dish on the table was good, and Pei Shu responded: "The Bingzhou dishes made by the imperial chef are not as delicious, and they are not as good as those of Aunt Gui when I was a child." , her river leakage is the best, I liked it very much when I was a child."

Yu Tingwan wrote down these words, but after thinking for a moment when he came back, he couldn't remember which nanny in the dining room had the surname Gui.

"It seems there is no such person." Ruyi has a good memory, but at this moment she is a little unsure, "I will ask the kitchen manager later."

When breakfast was delivered, Ruyi stopped the servant and said, "Do you have a nanny named Gui, who is from Jinyang and is good at mixing state cuisine?"

"There was indeed a position before." The servant was stunned for a moment, "When the queen was young, it was Aunt Gui who took care of her daily food. Three years ago, she returned to her hometown due to poor health."

The servant thought for a few times and thought that the princess did not like Bingzhou cuisine. Maybe she wanted to try something new today, so she quickly said: "Aunt Gui has a daughter. She is in the dining room now, cooking Bingzhou cuisine and Aunt Gui's." Exactly the same.”

"If the princess wants to give it a try, today's lunch at Guanjuyuan will be given to her." The servant had a good relationship with Aunt Gui's daughter and recommended her very hard: "She has been smart and sweet-tongued since she was a child. When the queen first opened the palace , and want to take her away."

Yu Tingwan shook his head and said, "Let her come."

A quarter of an hour later, a woman asked to see her outside. She was a little nervous when she came in. She glanced at Yu Tingwan quietly from the corner of her eye.

In addition to the palace doctor Xiu Niang, there are thousands of maidservants in the inner courtyard alone.

The King of Wei entangled the Princess so tightly that many servants only glanced at the Princess from afar and did not dare to come forward.

"Why are you afraid of me?" Yu Tingwan smiled at the woman in front of him.

"My name is Dongrong, and my mother is Aunt Gui who took care of the princess before." She shook her head, her voice trembling.

"Your name is special. Who gave it to you?" Yu Tingwan was a little curious, "Does it come from Qu Zi's phrase 'The glory of the osmanthus tree in winter'?"

"It was the princess who gave birth to her, the queen."

She lowered her eyes. Pei Shu liked her very much, but it was a pity that her husband was a guard in the front yard of the palace and could not follow him to the princess's palace.

Yu Tingwan smiled softly and nodded: "In this case, the queen misses your mother's Bingzhou cuisine during her pregnancy. Would you like to stay in the palace for a while?"

"If you don't want to, I won't force you."

"My slave is willing." Dongrong's eyes lit up, then dimmed, and asked: "Entering the palace... it should be very troublesome."

Yu Tingwan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that she had not told Pei Zhi about this yet.

He had always looked indifferent to Pei Shu, so he wondered if he would agree.

"You should go back first. If I can send you to the palace, I will let someone tell you."

After Dong Rong left, Yu Tingwan got up and went to the study. When he got inside and outside, he suddenly heard voices inside.

The courtiers should be inside, so she retreated silently without letting anyone know, and planned to sit outside and wait.

Suddenly she heard the sound of boots and looked up to see Pei Jing.

"Why are you waiting here, elder sister-in-law?" Pei Jing's face was full of joy, and he was smiling happily. He did not hide his joy and said with a smile when he left: "Elder brother just asked me not to talk nonsense and delay his return."

Hearing the noise, Pei Zhi walked out of the inner room, and when he saw Yu Tingwan, his eyebrows soothed.

"Why are you looking for me all of a sudden?"

Just now he vaguely heard Pei Jing calling someone "eldest sister-in-law", and he thought he heard him wrong.

"I want to send someone to the Queen's Palace, but I'm afraid you won't agree." Yu Tingwan explained the cause and effect again.

"You can make the decision yourself on this kind of thing. Why ask me what I mean." Pei Zhi looked indifferent.

"You ordered before that anyone who approaches the palace gate for no reason will be killed. Dongrong is not a palace maid after all, so I -"

"Wanwan forgot, I gave you the Tiger Talisman, and those palace guards will be very obedient in front of you." He lowered his eyes and sighed softly, "Power can only be controlled after you are familiar with it."

"That's all, let's not mention this." He put his arm around the waist of the woman in front of him and frowned: "You just came to the study, why didn't you wear a big cloak?"

"I was in a hurry, so I forgot about it." Yu Tingwan looked up at him, "It's not that cold now."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the man in front of her raise his hand, his earlobe was pinched, and his frozen skin felt numb at the sudden warmth.

Pei Zhi took her into the inner room and ordered someone to bring in a charcoal basin. The charcoal sent as a tribute from Liangzhou can burn for ten days. Sitting aside, she felt the heat.

The inner room was already warm, but now it was a bit hot.

Holding her hand, Pei Zhi noticed that it was much warmer. He then ordered someone to take the charcoal pot farther away, lowered his head and said, "I have nothing to do today. I can accompany you whatever you want."

"I allowed you to drink when you came back yesterday." He laughed and asked Yu Tingwan, "Do you still want to drink? I'll ask them to boil a few pots of wine."

"This is the study, how can I drink here?"

"Then let's go to Nuan Pavilion." Pei Zhi said in a leisurely voice, "Do you still want to hear me play the piano today?"

"Li" said that scholars never left the harp without any reason. The king of Wei was trying to win over the scholars, and he admired Confucianism outside the country. He was also born in the Pei family, so he was naturally good at playing the harp.

But a gentleman plays the piano to please himself. Yu Tingwan thought about it for a moment. In the Nuan Pavilion, while she was drinking wine, Pei Zhi played music to her.

No matter how I think about it, I feel... there's something strange about it.

Yu Tingwan hesitated for a moment and shook his head slightly: "No need."

In the Nuan Pavilion, the woman holding a wine cup in her hand had a blushing face and her eyes were watery.

Pei Zhi glanced at the three empty wine bottles, put his fingers on the piano, and said casually: "What do you want to hear?"

The last time she celebrated her birthday, he played a piece of music for her. He studied the piano under Yu Chengxiu, who was famous all over the world. Yu Tingwan clearly liked it, so he refused hesitantly just now.

Perhaps because she was drunk, or perhaps because she was getting bolder, Yu Tingwan saw that he mentioned it, but she didn’t refuse anymore. She looked into his eyes and said, ""Midnight Song"."

Pei Jing rode his horse to the outskirts of Beijing. Last night, in the silence of the Bopinghou Mansion, Dragon Slayer Guards came to the door and asked him to go to the Prince of Wei's Mansion early in the morning because he had important matters to meet.

During the past few days since he returned to Beijing, his bones were almost loose. He happened to have something to do and was extremely happy.

Pei Jing tried his best to move as fast as he could with the dark clouds and snow under him. He didn't stop until he was in front of a mansion that was incompatible with the surrounding houses.

"Where is Marquis Wan?"

The servant said: "Marquis Wan is feeling unwell, complaining of a headache, and is recuperating."

"I was fine yesterday, but I'm sick today. Who are you trying to fool?"

Marquis Boping walked straight in, paused half a step when he reached Pei Ke's house, and finally kicked him away. He looked at the man playing with mud on the ground for a moment.

Pei Jing was indifferent to his flattering smile and asked coldly: "Do you still remember who I am?"

He forced out a kind smile and said, "Prince Wei and I are the most generous people in the world to you."

The man on the ground counted on his fingers, and finally said with a silly smile: "I don't know, I don't know."

Mrs. Wanhou on the side was on the verge of tears and pleaded: "He is very ill now. He cannot recognize people and is confused."

"Okay." The expression on Pei Jing's face softened, and he suddenly handed him the unsheathed sword in his hand and said: "Your wife wants to kill you, help the eldest son Xi Jue and kill them."

If Pei Ke takes action, Pei Jing will believe that he is really crazy.

"Look, I've forgotten. Marquis Wan is so sick that he can't recognize people." Pei Jing turned his head and saw a young man staring at him bitterly, "Marquis Wan, do you still remember what they look like?"
