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

"The subject has seen the lord."

Yuan Ziyu came in and bowed in a rare and thoughtful manner. After sitting down stiffly, her lips moved slightly, and the words she wanted to ask rolled in her mouth several times and she couldn't say them out.

"I heard that Ziyu is very popular among the people in Donghai County." Pei Zhi played with a jade hairpin in his hand and smiled as gently as before, "I am afraid that you will live comfortably in Donghai County and refuse to return to Chang'an. "

"Of course I want to return to Beijing." Yuan Ziyu lowered his eyes and said in a rare cold tone, "I want to see the imperial concubine and marry Yu Tingwan."

Pei Zhi's face paled a little, "Tzuyu, you know that this is almost impossible at the moment. Even if the Zheng family breaks off the engagement, you will not be able to marry the noble concubine."

"I can wait." Yuan Ziyu pursed her lips and finally couldn't help but said: "Five years, ten years, twenty years, as long as the lord agrees to me, Yu Tingwan will not commit to anyone else, and I can always wait for her without any complaints. "

Pei Zhi slowly walked up to Yuan Ziyu. He was slender and elegant, dressed in purple clothes. He bowed his head indifferently and moved his thin lips slightly: "I can't agree."

"That's it." Yuan Ziyu nodded slightly, his face turned pale, "I understand."

The palace was silent late at night, and there was only the sound of paper and pen rubbing in Yilan Hall. Yu Tingwan yawned while looking at the bright moon and Ruyi copying books.

One uses his pen as a sword and wishes he could be a general on paper, while the other is cautious and dare not put pen to paper.

Yu Tingwan sighed inwardly, and finally got tired, so she simply leaned on the desk and tilted her head to look at the two people.

A palace maid came in to change tea for Yu Tingwan. She glanced at Yu Tingwan quickly from the corner of her eye and silently wrote down her appearance. When she returned, she drew it on paper and sent it to Prince Wei's Mansion.

Recently, the King of Wei became more and more demanding. Not only did he ask them to report everything about Yilan Hall in detail, but he also asked them to draw pictures of the imperial concubine's daily attire.

The Dragon Slayer Guard has never encountered such a request in the decades since it was established. Fortunately, Pei Zhi gave him a large reward, so they were happy to paint.

The next day, when Yu Tingwan woke up, she heard Qiu Tao laughing and saying, "My Lady, what do you think I got?"

She had just woken up, and because the weather was quite hot, she was sweating a little on her back. She asked in a daze, "What?"

Qiu Tao took out a letter from his sleeve. When Yu Tingwan saw the mark on it, he immediately became energetic. It was Que Wen's letter.

She was a little anxious when she opened the envelope, and her fingers trembled slightly. When she saw the familiar handwriting, her throat tightened, and she hugged Qiutao and cried.

"This letter...where did you get it?"

Qiu Tao whispered: "I went to the Imperial Medical Office today to bring back some licorice to make plum soup. Imperial Doctor Li stopped my servant and said that Divine Doctor Que had a letter for him to deliver."

Yu Tingwan thought about it carefully and came to the impression that Dr. Li was a young man of only seventeen or eighteen years old. He usually kept his eyes to himself and only admired Que Wen.

It was not easy for this letter to be delivered to Yu Tingwan. Que Wen tried every means to ask his junior brother to go to Beijing to deliver the letter, evading Pei Zhi's heavy surveillance, and handed it over to Dr. Li's mother. He also asked Dr. Li to take it into the palace and secretly stuffed it into Autumn peach.

There were two letters in the envelope, one was written by Que Wen, asking her to be careful about King Wei, and the other was actually written by her brother. Yu Xiuyun's handwriting was exactly the same as Yu Xin's, and she would not admit it wrong.

When Yu Tingwan saw the sentence "My sister kisses you every night", her eyelashes were filled with tears.

The elder brother said that he was now in Liang State, working for the Shen family, and asked her to wait for at most one year before he could find a way to take her to Jinling for reunion.

However, Yu Xiuyun did not elaborate on how to receive it. He only said that he would send someone to Chang'an in three months at most. She would know by then.

Yu Tingwan read the letter over and over again, thought about it again and again, and reluctantly burned the letter.

She was in a good mood today, and she smiled at everyone she saw. After lunch, she saw Ruyi bored in Yilan Hall all day, her eyebrows curved and she said, "Ruyi, I'm going to go for a walk near Cangchi."

Ruyi shook her head subconsciously and said, "Your Majesty, my appearance is terrifying. I'm afraid that I will embarrass you."

"How scary can a little girl like you be?" Yu Tingwan said teasingly to her: "If you look like King Wei or King Liang, you will scare others when you show up."

The dragon-slaying guard who was disguised as a maid heard this in the outer hall and paused, thinking about whether to report this to him as well.

Even though Yu Tingwan saw Ruyi following his sedan chair, he lowered his head subconsciously, not wanting others to see the scars on his face.

When they arrived at the bank of Cangchi, Yu Tingwan pointed to a remote place and said, "Ruyi, that's the Yuhua Pavilion. How about we go there to rest for a while?"

She deliberately did not let anyone else follow her. After sitting down, she looked at the embarrassed Ruyi and said, "Sit down too. I have something to say to you."

After Yu Tingwan learned that he was leaving Chang'an, the first thing he considered was what to do with these palace ladies. Qiu Tao was a servant of the Yu family, and her brother would definitely take her away. Jiao Yue had martial arts at her side, so leaving the palace would not be a problem. .

The only one is Ruyi, who has not yet grown hair, and is timid because of the hardships she has suffered, and does not like to talk to others. If she leaves, Ruyi will probably be tortured to death by the Crown Princess.

After all, the Crown Princess hated Yu Tingwan and couldn't vent her anger on her, so she had no choice but to pinch a soft persimmon like Ruyi.

"Ruyi, if I am not in the palace someday, would you like to serve other empresses?"

Yu Tingwan's voice was soft, Ruyi was stunned for a long time, and suddenly knelt down in tears.

"Mother, do you no longer want a slave?"

"Of course not." Yu Tingwan denied it repeatedly, "That's it, I won't mention it anymore. Get up quickly."

She reached out to help Ruyi, but a sarcastic voice came from her ears.

"The imperial concubine was born in Qingzhou. She is really different from our gentry women in Chang'an. She is approachable." The princess walked into the pavilion, wearing a light cyan dress with white plum embroidery on it. She walked gracefully, but the words she said were mean.

"Isn't this a wishful thinking?" The princess squinted her eyes for a moment and sighed: "It's a pity that such a beautiful color was not destroyed. If it hadn't been destroyed, it would have been the courtesan that thousands of people would be striving to taste."

Ashu was beside him, wanting the Crown Princess to stop talking, but he couldn't bear the Crown Princess becoming increasingly moody recently.

The prince was playing some unflattering things with the beauty in the south building. After enjoying the fun, he wanted to drag the princess with him. She had never experienced such humiliation, so she didn't want to, but she couldn't resist the prince's force.

She hated the prince deeply, and even more hated those lowly servants whose faces in the south tower looked like Yu Tingwan.

The Crown Princess didn't care about Yu Tingwan's ugly face at all. Instead, she took a few steps forward and sat down by herself. Her voice was slightly hoarse: "My Lady, this person should respect himself and don't hang out with low-class people. , lost his identity.”

Ruyi's face turned red and she wanted to bury her head in the ground.

"The Crown Princess attaches great importance to respect and inferiority. She must have bowed and bowed to show her respect when she faced Wang Xie, the legitimate daughter of the Yuan Xiao family, before leaving the cabinet."

"Your Majesty, you compare me with those maids?" The Crown Princess was trembling with anger.

"What's wrong? Everyone comes here naked, what's the difference?" Yu Tingwan whispered slowly, "Haven't you heard of it, Princess? Treat people as if they were their own bodies."

The women's school in the Wen family was only for the family. As a concubine, the Crown Princess was not taken seriously, so she naturally didn't understand and left Ruyi with a look in her eyes.

Yu Tingwan saw that Ruyi's cheeks were still stained with tears, and sighed: "If someone uses that experience to humiliate you in the future, don't be ashamed of it. It was not your fault in the first place."

"It's getting late, let's go back to Yilan Palace. Qiu Tao made sour plum soup today." Yu Tingwan was disturbed by the princess and lost interest in enjoying the scenery.

After she left, two people sat behind a low wall covered by a small bamboo forest next to the pavilion.

Yuan Qi, who had been deep in thought, finally said, "What the imperial concubine just mentioned was actually the words of the Mohist family."

"Qingzhou Yu Gongming is well-versed in hundreds of schools of thought and is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. It is not surprising that his daughter understands the Mohist theory." Pei Zhi looked calmly and pointed to the West Nine and South Ten on the chessboard, "If you make a move here, you will definitely Definitely lose."
