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

Yuan Ziyu lowered his eyes, seeing her displeasure, and hid the longing in her eyes.

When she grew up last year, he passed by her hometown on purpose and saw her accompanying her mother while serving porridge, smiling like a peach blossom.

He ordered people to inquire about it. During the famine years, the female members of the Yu family pawned all their jewelry to provide relief.

As a descendant of the Yuan family, he didn't even know that Qingzhou was suffering from a locust plague, and he was speechless for a while.

I remembered the way the girl sat behind the curtain and talked to him that year. Although I couldn't see her figure clearly, I could imagine her expression.

In the past three years, he has been thinking about Yu Tingwan.

Yuan Ziyu returned to Runan half a month ago due to family affairs. Planning the time for Yu Tingwan to enter the palace, she asked Pei Zhi to take care of her.

Now that he has promised Pei Zhi to become an official, if nothing unexpected happens in the future, he will stay in the capital. His aunt is Concubine Yang De in the palace, so it is not difficult for him to enter the palace.

Yuan Ziyu thought of the emperor's terminally ill appearance and thought that there was only a long way to go. He was not in a hurry to convince her today. He just said a few words and left.

Qiu Tao heard the conversation between the two clearly from the side. After Yuan Ziyu left, she murmured: "My Lady, you are still a noble concubine now, how come Mr. Yuan is so bold."

Mr. Yuan Sangong was a dissolute man. When he was young, he dared to make wild remarks, saying that the saint was pedantic and the most rotten tree in the world.

The etiquette today was probably forced on him by him.

Fortunately, Pei Zhi suppressed what happened last night. Otherwise, if others knew about it, the first person who wanted to kill her would be Mrs. Yuan.

In today's troubled times, ethics and ethics have collapsed, but Yuan Ziyu openly asked someone to rob the concubine, which is shocking to the world.

If she really left yesterday, even though Pei Zhi could cover it up, there is no airtight wall in the world. A scholar can drown her with just a drop of spit.

The secret guard hiding in the corner of Taiye Pool was paying attention to her from beginning to end. As soon as Young Master Yuan left, he went to Prince Wei's Mansion.

"My lord, she rejected Young Master Yuan today."

Pei Zhi put down the scroll in his hand, raised his eyebrows slightly, and became interested. He actually rejected the young master of the Yuan family in Runan. In today's world, it is much harder to marry into the Yuan family than to marry the emperor.

After noon, Yuan Ziyu came to the Prince of Wei's Mansion to find Pei Zhi. He looked at Pei Zhi with a gloomy look and said, "Please, sir, please take care of your concubine for a while."

"I will definitely find a way to welcome her in." Yuan Ziyu's voice was firm.

"Although the noble concubine is unwilling to leave the palace with me, I am very grateful to my lord for worrying about my personal affairs. I will go to my eldest brother to persuade him."

Pei Zhi chuckled and shook his head, "Tzuyu, if you are a noble concubine and risk the disapproval of the world, but can only be a concubine, are you willing to leave the palace?"

Yuan Ziyu choked and wanted to say that Yuan's concubines were better than the precarious queen. Back then, the first queen was poisoned to death by Pei Xu's poisonous wine.

"Tzuyu, I know what you are thinking." Pei Zhi also thought about that past event, "You have forgotten that although she is an orphan, she is also the daughter of Yu Xin and Yu Gongming. She has no choice but to enter the palace. She will never Possibly a concubine.”

Yuan Ziyu lowered his eyes and sighed, he couldn't make the decision on his own marriage.

"My lord, I will find a way to convince my master." When Yuan Ziyu said this, he didn't quite believe it himself.

After Yuan Ziyu left, Pei Zhi looked at the remaining pieces of the game on the table, picked up a black stone, and sighed softly after placing the stone: "Yuan Ziyu was really absent-minded today, and he lost like this. No wonder he had to be willing to play again."

Pei Zhi's few words will probably disturb the Yuan family's peace for a while, which is exactly what he wanted.

Nowadays, King Wei's subordinates are divided into two factions. One is the veteran ministers who came from a rough background and followed the previous King Wei to conquer the world, and the other is the aristocratic families who have taken refuge in the Pei family.

Pei Zhi was not the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, and he could not tolerate the gentry's continued entanglement under his nose. The wife that the Yuan family had chosen for Yuan Ziyu was the legitimate daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang.

It would be a good thing if Yuan Ziyu could break off the engagement.

Pei Zhi stood up and said: "Prepare your horses, I want to enter the palace."

Outside Yilan Hall, Yu Tingwan was staring blankly at the snow on the porch.

"My noble concubine, I came to the palace to discuss matters with His Majesty and happened to pass by here."

Hearing Pei Zhi's voice from behind, Yu Tingwan froze and turned to look at the person. Pei Zhi was dressed very casually today. He didn't look like a prince, but more like a handsome young man. Only his eyes were like melted snow. , looks soft, but is actually bitingly cold.

"I've met His Highness." Yu Tingwan was very wary of Pei Zhi. When he came to discuss matters with the emperor, he would not pass by Yilan Hall no matter which way he went.

The two of them were talking about their own things, and their postures seemed humble. Pei Zhi actually found the current scene a bit funny.

"Why is the imperial concubine so afraid of my ministers?"

"The people in the world only know the King of Wei but not the Emperor. Who doesn't respect Your Highness?" Yu Tingwan's voice was light.

"No need to worry, noble concubine." Pei Zhi saw that although her expression was calm, her eyes were filled with sadness, "Tzuyu asked me to protect you. Since I have agreed, I will not break my promise."

Yu Tingwan was speechless, wondering how much Yuan Ziyu had promised Pei Zhi, asking him to work so hard as a matchmaker.

Her voice couldn't help but become a little colder, "Your Highness, I have made up my mind. I am lucky enough to die in the palace of old age in this life. I don't want anything else."

Pei Zhi took a few steps forward, but his momentum was so strong that Yu Tingwan couldn't help but take half a step back.

"My dear concubine, is it really safe in the palace? Since ancient times, the concubines of the previous dynasties have to go with the last emperor." Pei Zhi lowered his voice and looked down at her.

"You..." Yu Tingwan was stunned. She didn't expect that Pei Zhi would dare to threaten her like this in the palace.

But yes, now the court officials only follow the Pei family, and they have never paid attention to the Zhao family royal family.

Pei Zhi would give him some dignity whenever he wanted. If he didn't want to give it any day, no one would dare to say anything.

"I'm sorry, I scared you."

Pei Zhi saw her face turned pale and realized that he had forgotten that the girl in front of him was not one of those old fritters from the court. He had frightened her into this with just a few casual words.

"It doesn't matter. If your Highness has nothing to do, it's better to leave as soon as possible." Yu Tingwan spoke a little quickly, "It would be inappropriate to delay government affairs."

Pei Zhi's government affairs have long been handled in the Wei Palace. He goes to the palace every day to discuss political affairs, which is just a show.

Seeing that Yu Ting was driving away late at night, he was not embarrassed at all. He just brushed off the broken snow on his shoulders and nodded, saying, "I have a humble appearance and missed the snow scene."

The young man in front of him is calm and elegant, with a graceful appearance. The black cloak makes his face look like carved white jade, and his long eyebrows and phoenix eyes are reminiscent of the cold light of an unsheathed sword.

The gentleness of the literati and the respect and coldness of the princes were cleverly combined. Even if he were a god descending to earth, he would not dislike Pei Zhi's ugly appearance.

Yu Tingwan was choked and didn't know what to say, so she said dryly: "Your Highness is really good at joking."

"I'm not joking. I remember that before I was crowned, Yuan Ziyu and I were called twins." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Pei Zhi's lips, "The imperial concubine doesn't look down on Ziyu, and she must also look down on me."

Pei Zhi sighed, "I sometimes envy Tzuyu's free and easy attitude, but I have been working hard at filing papers for many years, and I'm afraid I can't wash away my tackiness."

"The King of Wei is as talented as Jiang Hai." Yu Tingwan saw that he still mentioned Yuan Ziyu in his words, and no matter how good-tempered he was, he couldn't help but get annoyed. "If you can stop being a matchmaker, you will definitely have a lot of time to sing."
