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

"Not going?" Concubine De was a little surprised that some people didn't want to go to Yuan's party. Concubine De covered her lips and smiled softly, "My concubine, Mrs. Yuan will not harm you in broad daylight."

"Really?"

Yu Tingwan's tone was calm, but she had heard of many scandalous things among aristocratic families.

The eldest son Yuan was clearly the daughter of Yuan's wife. After Mrs. Yuan married into the Yuan Mansion as his second wife, within a few years, the eldest son Yuan left home and traveled far away, rarely coming back even during New Years and holidays.

Yuan Ziyu was crazy. When she was seventeen years old, she temporarily lived in the Yu family. When chatting with her father, she only mentioned her mother and eldest brother, showing her loneliness and embarrassment.

Concubine De seemed to have thought of something, and lacked trust in her concubine. She said sarcastically: "My dear concubine, I have spoken to you. It is up to you to decide whether you want to go or not."

For more than ten days after that, there were other concubines attending the Zichen Palace, so Yu Tingwan stayed in the Yilan Palace and didn't go anywhere.

After Mrs. Yuan's invitation was rejected, she sent a message to Yilan Palace on the pretext of appreciating incense. This time, Concubine De couldn't help but persuade her: "Concubine, just go."

"I'm not speaking for Mrs. Yuan. She and I are not from the same mother, so we don't know each other very well."

Concubine De said in a slow voice, "But I also know a little about her temperament. If you don't go, she doesn't know how to arrange you behind the scenes."

Concubine De sighed: "I didn't want to say too much, but you are young after all and don't know her methods. You can hide from the first grade but not the fifteenth grade."

"I've heard a little bit about it."

Mrs. Yuan was born as a concubine but married into the eldest son of the Yuan Mansion. Although she was remarried, she was considered a high-ranking person. She gave birth to two sons and a daughter in seven years, and she was probably quite popular with her husband.

"That's all." Concubine De felt a little pity for Yu Tingwan, "I'll go to the Yuan Mansion with you, just stay with me."

When the emperor ascended the throne, Pei Xu made the final decision to help him choose the gentry women De Fei, Xian Fei and Chen Zhaoyi.

The emperor and these concubines did not like to see each other and were disgusted with each other, so the harem was peaceful and there was no jealousy.

After Concubine Xian saw Yu Tingwan, she still lamented with the other concubines in Feiyu Palace, saying it was a pity for such a beautiful girl.

"Since you are going to the Yuan Mansion, just follow their rules. If I follow you, I will attract attention." Yu Tingwan finally planned to meet Mrs. Yuan, but she was still wary of Concubine De.

Concubine De nodded and said, "That's fine."

Yu Tingwan usually didn't go out of Yilan Hall very often, but he let Qiu Tao go out.

Qiutao chatted with the boring palace maids and eunuchs, and occasionally she could dig out some palace secrets or new news from outside.

"Your Majesty, I heard from the aunt in Zengcheng Palace that King Wei plans to get married." Qiu Tao came back from outside and whispered to Yu Tingwan mysteriously.

"Ahem." Jiaoyue suddenly said, "His Royal Highness the King of Wei had an engagement, but it was delayed. Now there are two in twenty, so it's not surprising that they are getting married."

"Has the King of Wei ever been engaged?" Qiu Tao asked in shock.

"Of course, everyone in the capital doesn't know that the King of Wei was engaged to the Cui family, but the young master passed away early. Now when discussing marriage, the choice should be between the Cui family." Jiao Yue and Qiu Tao have been together for a long time, and they talk more. .

"Does the Cui family have any young ladies of the right age?"

"Only Cui Rouyi." Jiao Yue paused, "Yuan Mansion also invited her to this incense tasting party."

On the day she went to Yuan Mansion, Yu Tingwan specifically said to Jiao Yue: "You and Qiu Tao can just stand behind me. Stop hiding."

Jiao Yue has been accustomed to it for so many years. No matter where she goes, she hides first. The last time she slept on the beam, Qiu Tao was shocked.

The Yuan Mansion's brocade paved the floor and peppered the walls, and the jade tents on the Yao Terrace made it clear that it was winter. The room was as warm as mid-spring, and the dancers had light waists and swaying feather coats.

After decades of war, the Yuan family can still be so extravagant by relying on the accumulation of hairpins from generations and the prestige in the court.

Mrs. Yuan always showed a gentle face to others, so she naturally would not embarrass Yu Tingwan in public. Instead, she was extremely eager to let her and Concubine De sit beside her.

"My concubine, this incense was sent by Ziyu on request. The royal concubine is the most respected person in the house. Please taste it first." Mrs. Yuan smiled slowly and ordered someone to place the utensil in front of Yu Tingwan.

Several noble ladies were slightly displeased when they heard Mrs. Yuan lifting up Yu Tingwan in this way.

When Yu Tingwan pressed the ashes, Mrs. Cui asked with concern: "Has your concubine ever made incense seals? If you don't understand, I can help you."

"The female teacher once taught me."

"Have there ever been any famous female teachers in Lingji County?" Mrs. Cui was a little surprised. "After the imperial concubine is Taifu Yu, she must have found a good female teacher."

"Her surname is Que, and her single name is Min." A smile appeared on Yu Tingwan's lips, "She is an extremely talented woman."

Seeing that Yu Tingwan's hand did not shake even when he was making incense seals, and that he indeed knew the art of incense, Mrs. Cui felt bored and said no more.

"This Xinhe incense is indeed good." Yu Tingwan looked at the smoke rising along the incense burner and nodded in admiration.

Mrs. Yuan originally wanted to see what kind of vixen had charmed her son so much that he lost his mind, and she wanted to use Pinxiang to embarrass her in front of all the female relatives.

At this moment, seeing her family in decline, she could still recognize Xin Hexiang, and paused for a moment, as the sarcastic words she had originally prepared were of no use.

Although Mrs. Yuan did not know the relationship between Yuan Ziyu and Yu Tingwan, she could tell that Mrs. Yuan probably didn't like the imperial concubine very much, so no one answered Yu Tingwan's words for a while.

"I'm talking to A-Xuan inside. It's a good idea for you to light the incense first."

He arrived before the sound came, and everyone looked up.

A woman wearing purple clothes and wearing a woman's hair came out and walked to Yu Tingwan with a smile.

"Well, this fragrance is really good. It matches the imperial concubine very well..."

When she appeared, the atmosphere became more lively and everyone smiled.

"My wife's name is Xie Yun." Xie Yun glanced at Yu Tingwan and praised: "You are indeed a beauty. I heard that you have been familiar with poetry and books since you were a child, and have you ever had a clear conversation with Yuan Ziyu?"

Xie Yun, born in the Xie family of Chen County, married the eldest son of the Wang family in Langya two years ago.

Yu Tingwan nodded and said, "Mrs. Wang, this is indeed the case."

"It just so happens that my younger sister wrote an article and asked my wife to comment. She is my younger sister, so it is inevitable that she will be biased." Xie Yunlang smiled and shouted: "Axuan, come quickly."

Xie Yun hugged the girl who came behind the curtain, smiled at Yu Tingwan and said, "Can your concubine give me some comments?"

Xie Xuan looked indifferent, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with her. However, she seemed a little nervous at this moment. She handed over the article in her hand and said, "Your Majesty, please give me some advice."

Yu Tingwan took the article and muttered after reading it: "It's flowing like clouds and flowing water, it's majestic, good."

Mrs. Cui on the side chuckled and said: "Xie Wuniang is still in her boudoir, and her poems have always been elegant and graceful. Didn't your concubine understand?"

Xie Yun glanced at Mrs. Cui, feeling a little displeased, and ordered this article to be given to other ladies to read.

A quarter of an hour passed and still no one spoke.

"Everyone, what do you think of my fifth wife's article?"

Xie Yun opened her mouth to ask, and finally someone spoke up. It was Mrs. Xiao. She said in a daze: "Wonderful, you can compare it with those imperial students."

Mrs. Yuan said: "How can the pen and ink of my daughter's family be better than that of my son who is too learned?"

"I think they are comparable." Xie Yun touched Xie Xuan's hair with satisfaction, "Those people are just ordinary people. My Xuan is a talented person who has eyebrows and eyebrows. She deserves to be famous in history."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then all agreed. Xie Xuan sat silently on one side, just face to face with Yu Tingwan.

Yu Tingwan glanced at Xie Xuan in the commotion, and was surprised to notice that Xie Wuniang was staring at him.

"Xie Wuniang, this article is about the scenery of Jiangzuo. Have you ever been there?" Yu Tingwan talked to her.

"Never." Xie Xuan smiled, "I just read other people's poems and longed for them."

"Sister, I want to chat with the imperial concubine alone about Yu Xianzun's "On Qin"." Xie Xuan suddenly spoke, and everyone looked over.

Yu Tingwan nodded and stood up, going to the corridor with her.

"Your Highness, please stay away from King Wei."
