Mrs. Cui's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. With Xie Yun's identity in mind, she didn't dare to say anything more.

As soon as Mrs. Yuan came back, she saw that something was not right in the atmosphere. After listening to the maid beside her quietly explaining, she smiled and said: "I have heard that Sanniang of the Cui family is quiet and elegant. As noble women, you and I don't need to serve others with sex. What's wrong with our appearance?" important."

Mrs. Yuan's words did not comfort Cui Rouyi much. If Mrs. Yuan had not been so beautiful, she would not have taken the opportunity to climb into the Yuan family.

Cui Rouyi glanced at Yu Tingwan quietly, sighing in her heart how great it would be if this face grew on her body.

Jiaoyue noticed her gaze, and they looked at each other. Jiaoyue's eyes were not kind.

Cui Rouyi, a young lady, had never seen such a secret guard with a blade licking blood, and was frightened by that look for a moment.

The maid brought by the Cui family was a little unhappy and gave Gaoyue a hard look.

When the guests had dispersed, Cui Rouyi took a carriage and opened the curtain, saw the honor guard of the concubine at the entrance of Yuan's mansion, and muttered: "The concubine of the down-and-out emperor is also putting on such airs, the King of Wei is giving her too much face."

Mrs. Cui frowned and said accusingly: "Rou Yi, the emperor is still here, so it's just a matter of others. You must have a minimum of respect for the emperor outside."

The Cui family was early in joining the line and had been looking forward to the success of the dragon. Cui Rouyi had been influenced by her since she was a child, and with the recent marriage proposal, she was looking forward to becoming the future queen.

"Mom, I heard that Yuan Ziyu has praised her more than once. King Wei is very close to Yuan Ziyu, will he have a crush on her because of this?" Cui Rouyi also squeezed the handkerchief, "Also, they can meet in the palace - "

"That's enough." Mrs. Cui couldn't bear to interrupt her, "Rou Yi, the clan wants you to get engaged to Pei Zhi because they hope you can contribute to the family. How can you be so timid and short-sighted as Pei Zhi? Is this kind of person able to establish a foothold next to me?”

Mrs. Cui was a little unhappy with Yu Tingwan due to Mrs. Yuan's words today, but she didn't take it to heart. Unexpectedly, her daughter did.

"Mrs. Yuan said that after the imperial concubine and King Wei were destined, you became uneasy and confused!" Mrs. Cui looked into her daughter's eyes, "You remember, King Wei's marriage must be the result of weighing the pros and cons, and nothing else can do it. Easily shaken.”

"If the King of Wei is interested in sex, he would have been filled with concubines in the past few years. Why should you worry? Also, do you think Yuan Ziyu and the King of Wei are close?"

Mrs. Cui's voice was a little subtle, "The King of Wei is never really close to anyone. He is even willing to kill his own brother."

"Rou Yi, if you regard King Wei as another man, then I, a mother, will have to seriously consider your marriage. You are not suitable to be around Pei Zhi."

Cui Rouyi's eyes were red. Her mother had never spoken to her in such a tone. She kept saying, "Mom, I listen to you. I just want to marry King Wei."

Mrs. Cui softened her heart, touched her hair, and comforted her softly: "As long as you strive for your own strength, my mother will remove all obstacles for you."

After Yu Tingwan returned to Yilan Palace, Jiaoyue handed her the jade ring given by Pei Zhi.

"Your Majesty, this is what King Wei asked his servant to bring to you."

Yu Tingwan looked at it for a moment and found that it was Que Wen's finger, so he asked Qiutao to go find him and ask what happened.

When Qiutao came back, there was someone behind him, it was Que Wen.

After he entered the Yilan Palace, he raised the curtain and looked a little unhappy. He frowned and said, "The common people sent a message to the south without telling the King of Wei, but the King of Wei stopped him."

Yu Tingwan had already sent Gao Yue away and said softly: "Since you are the younger brother of the female master, we can treat each other as you and me in private. Besides, you have already gotten into trouble for helping me."

"My dear, don't say that. I did it willingly." He picked up the wrench. "This is the token I attached to the letter. King Wei gave it to you. Maybe it's to knock you and me."

Que Wen smiled and said, "But I sent out seven identical letters at the same time. King Wei must not be able to intercept each one."

"If there is any news in the future, you can leave a mark under the willow tree by Taiye Pond."

When Yu Tingwan was a child, she loved to play this kind of code game with her brother. "On the 10th of every month, I will take a look. If I see the mark, on the night of the 15th, I will go to the alley west of Leng Palace to meet you."

"Okay." Que Wen is not an imperial doctor, so it is inconvenient to stay here for too long.

He put up the curtain just enough to hide the smile in his eyes, "Then I'm going back. If there is anything else, I can send Qiu Tao to tell you."

A few days later, Yu Tingwan took a walk to Taiye Pond. He glanced at the willow tree to see if there was any mark. He sighed with some disappointment and turned around to see Pei Zhi coming here. He wanted to pretend he didn't see it.

Yu Tingwan recalled how Cui Rouyi looked forward to King Wei when she was in the Yuan Mansion, and thought that some men were a nuisance, and she would hide as far away as possible.

She moved forward a few steps and suddenly remembered that she was wearing crimson clothes today, which was particularly conspicuous in winter.

"Your Majesty, what a chance encounter." Pei Zhi's voice came, "I can see from a distance that the imperial concubine has a special liking for this willow tree."

Yu Tingwan gritted his teeth, wondering why this man's eyes were so sharp.

"The dancing withered branches of winter willow trees has a unique charm. I'm just admiring it."

"Really?" Pei Zhi looked down at her eyes and chuckled, "I thought your queen was waiting for someone."

"Your Highness, you are overthinking." Yu Tingwan's heart beat like a drum, but there was nothing on her face.

Pei Zhi's probing eyes swept across her face, and he suddenly remembered the seven letters he had intercepted a few days ago. He specifically asked Dragon Slayer Guard to release one of them, just as a thought for Yu Tingwan.

Yuan Ziyu searched for three years but could not find any clues about Mr. Yu. She had long thought that he died in Jiangxia. Yu Tingwan was the only one in the world who was so obsessed with finding Yu Xiuyun.

Even though Pei Zhi had a heart of stone, he still found it pitiful that Yu Tingwan was looking for a needle in a haystack.

Pei Zhi was suddenly jealous of Mr. Yu whom he had never met before. Yu Xiuyun's sister tried her best to find him, and his fourth brother tried his best to kill him.

As an older brother, the comparison is too harsh.

"I heard that your concubine is also good at incense. By chance, I got a piece of Bai Zhuo incense. I will send someone to give it to the empress tomorrow."

"Why did Your Highness send me incense for no reason?" Yu Tingwan was wary, wondering if it was Yuan Ziyu who asked him to send it.

"This incense is suitable for women. I don't have any wives or concubines in my house. After thinking about it, it's better to give it away. It can't be wasted."

This excuse was too clumsy. Yu Tingwan once again confirmed that it was from Yuan Ziyu and flatly refused: "Your Highness is about to get married, why use this excuse to excuse Third Young Master Yuan."

The smile on Pei Zhi's face froze, and he became increasingly annoyed. His advisers all advised him to get married as soon as possible. When he got annoyed, he asked Yang Ji to pay more attention.

Yang Ji mentioned a few people, and the group of veterans could find thorns in them.

After arguing and arguing and unable to settle the matter, news spread that he was going to be engaged to Mrs. Cui, and the news spread to everyone.

When he returned from Yuan Mansion last time, he asked the Cui family to come to Prince Wei's Mansion and put an end to their thoughts in person. Unexpectedly, the rumors would never stop.

"My dear concubine, you look down too much on this frivolous minister." Pei Zhi looked coldly, "I promised you not to mention him anymore, so how could you use this method to deliver something to him?"
