Yu Tingwan looked at Pei Zhi in astonishment, and then said after being stunned for a long time: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

Concubine Xian had a complicated look on her face. After King Wei left, she couldn't help but say, "Concubine, you and King Wei..."

Since the death of Princess Chengyang, Pei Zhi rarely entered the palace, especially after he succeeded to the throne. Unless there was an important event, he would not stay in the palace for too long. Concubine Xian suddenly remembered that it seemed that after Yu Ting came late, Pei Zhi stayed in the palace. The time in the palace is getting longer and longer.

"I am not familiar with King Wei."

Yu Tingwan silenced Concubine Xian's doubts with one word. When she left the palace gate, she saw Jiao Yue standing outside waiting.

"Mother, Qiu Tao heard that you were drinking, so she went back to make licorice and black bean soup."

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome." Yu Tingwan felt that he was very sober now, "I'm not drunk."

Jiao Yue didn't believe it. Just now she saw the princess fainting from drinking.

When Yu Ting returned to Yilan Hall in the evening, he couldn't resist Qiu Tao, so he forced himself to drink two more bowls of soup.

Because of Pei Shu's words, she didn't sleep well all night. When she woke up, her eyes were slightly blue, so Qiu Tao used some powder to cover them up.

"Mother, please eat less breakfast, and then go back to the bed and lie down for a while."

Yu Tingwan yawned and was about to nod when he suddenly woke up when he heard the palace man say that the princess was waiting outside.

"Invite her in quickly."

As soon as Pei Shu entered the inner hall, she saw that Yu Tingwan had not eaten yet, and she said without warning: "Mother, I haven't eaten either."

The eldest brother had scolded her early in the morning and told her to eat twice to strengthen her memory, so as not to talk without thinking after eating and drinking.

She came today just to ask the imperial concubine what she said last night to make her elder brother so angry.

"Qiu Tao, please add two more bowls and chopsticks." Yu Tingwan looked at Pei Shu and asked, "What does the princess want to eat? I'll ask the kitchen staff to do it."

"No, no, no." Pei Shu shook her head repeatedly, "Just eat the same thing as your mother-in-law."

Pei Shu's eyes were a little confused after eating. She thought the dizziness was due to hunger, but why was she still dizzy after eating, and her neck still hurt.

"The princess is not feeling well?"

"I'm a little dizzy. My eldest brother said that I drank too much last night, so I fainted in Feiyu Palace." Pei Shu frowned. She remembered that her drinking capacity was not that bad.

"This..." Yu Tingwan thought of last night's situation, "It's normal to have a hangover and feel dizzy."

"Your Majesty, do you still remember what I said last night?" Pei Shu stepped forward.

She also hoped that being nice in Chang'an these days would make her eldest brother change his mind and allow her to stay in Beijing. Pei Shu regretted it as soon as she arrived in Youzhou. The wind and sand were boring, so she should pretend to be more obedient and slowly consider what to do in Chang'an. Stealing a bride.

"The princess didn't say anything."

"Is it true?" Pei Shu asked, "I probably didn't mention my elder brother."

Yu Tingwan stopped talking. Pei Shu understood what she meant and was choked for a moment, not daring to ask herself what she had planned.

"Mother, if you meet my eldest brother, can you say a few words of kindness to me?"

"The princess is joking, you and the King of Wei are brothers and sisters, there is no misunderstanding that can be solved." Yu Tingwan paused, "And the King of Wei and I are just acquaintances."

"No, no, no." Pei Shu shook her head quickly and wanted to say something, but remembering Pei Zhi's face when he heard that she mentioned the imperial concubine, she held it in and said dullly: "He will definitely listen if you tell me. I really I don’t want to go to Youzhou anymore.”

"What about the noble concubine? If King Wei has made up his mind, the emperor cannot change it at all."

Pei Shu saw that Yu Tingwan's face was calm when he mentioned his eldest brother, and he didn't seem to be trying to shirk the blame. An idea suddenly popped into his mind.

Doesn't she still know that her eldest brother likes her? It was simply unbelievable. Pei Shu's face became strange when she thought of the picture of a beautiful woman she saw in the study room of Prince Wei's Mansion.

She has been going to Youzhou for so long, and her eldest brother didn't reveal anything? If Pei Zhi hadn't accumulated too much power at home, Pei Shu would have wanted to rush back and laugh at him now.

"My dearest concubine, I heard that your Majesty is good at painting, how do you compare with my eldest brother?"

Yu Tingwan suddenly mentioned this for some reason and replied: "I have never seen King Wei's paintings."

Pei Shu was completely stunned. She thought the concubine and her eldest brother were pretending not to be familiar with each other, but it turned out that the concubine and her eldest brother were really unfamiliar with each other.

When she first arrived in Youzhou, the third brother asked her eldest brother if his marriage was settled. She replied: "Don't worry, it's already settled. There is still a husband who is still alive, so there may be some trouble."

Now it seems there may be more than a little trouble.

Yu Tingwan saw Pei Shu's expression change and asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Pei Shu shook her head, "I'm just a little uncomfortable. It will be fine when I go back and rest for a while."

After seeing off the princess, Yu Tingwan breathed a sigh of relief and went back to the bed to rest for a while. When he got up at about noon, he felt a little bored after sleeping for a long time, so he took Qiutao out to relax.

When they were approaching Liangfeng Terrace, Qiutao said that the Third Prince's Mansion had just sent someone to collect the money.

"What?" Yu Tingwan was a little surprised, and then suddenly said: "Zhao Heng has another funeral?"

The third prince loved to organize funerals for himself. He would lie in the coffin, instruct his servants to summon souls, change clothes, announce the funeral, and cry for mourners. He would knock on the doors of civil and military officials in every house in Chang'an to collect gifts and money, but the money he received was not much.

Later, everyone got used to it and let him go. Chen Du attended his funeral before and was shocked. Zhao Heng was lying in the coffin well when he suddenly got up and pointed at the servant who was playing the music: "I played a wrong note. "

The timing of Zhao Heng's "death" was very coincidental every time. Whenever something happened in the court, he would take advantage of it to stay behind closed doors. No one tried to win over the third prince at this time because they thought it was unlucky to pass by the door of his house.

Yu Tingwan thought about it for a while, maybe it was because of the sudden death of the governor of Bingzhou, and because Pei Shu was back, Zhao Heng used this method to hide.

When he reached the "first seven", it was time for Pei Shu to set off for Youzhou.

Yu Tingwan couldn't help laughing. This Zhao Heng was quite interesting, completely different from Chen Zhaoyi's usual self-preservation.

"How much money did you give him?"

"The third prince's people said that the empress only needs to pay a copper coin to express her feelings."

Yu Tingwan was dumbfounded. The third prince couldn't even make back his money by accepting gifts like this. "The third prince regards money as dirt."

Ah Xun's voice came from behind, with a smile on his face, "He made a lot of money from me. Prince Zhao Heng actually made money from one of my hostages."

"Have you been behind us?"

"Your Majesty said this like a slut." Ah Xun smiled a bit teasingly, "It was just an accidental encounter."

Yu Tingwan didn't believe it at all. Sure enough, he followed closely and said, "I brought a piano specially today and planned to entertain myself by chatting at Liangfeng Terrace. If your Majesty is willing to appreciate it, why don't you comment after listening to it?"

Yu Tingwan nodded and said: "Okay, it's just that I have little talent and knowledge, so I probably can't hear anything good or bad."

Ah Xun asked his attendants to bring the Qin. It was a Green Qi Qin, completely black with hints of green. Yu Tingwan's eyelashes trembled and he asked, "Is this Sima Xiangru's Green Qi?"

"I don't know, but it was a gift from one of my friends." Ah Xunruo pointed out: "He said that if I meet a beautiful woman one day, I will use this piano to play music."

The young man's fingers caressed the strings with ease, and the sound of the piano slowly dissipated with the wind. It was "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix".

Yu Tingwan listened carefully for a moment, then smiled and said: "Yes, if Sima Xiangru was so charming back then, I would understand Wenjun."

"It's so rare to have a close friend." Ah Xun smiled happily and pointed at the piano: "I gave it to the empress."

Yu Tingwan told Jiao Yue to take the piano, and when he turned to leave, he suddenly saw a familiar figure on the mountain viewing platform behind him.

Wangshan Terrace and Liangfeng Terrace were not far from each other and were connected by a flying pavilion. Pei Zhi stood quietly by the railing and looked unabashedly in the direction of Yu Tingwan.
