Pei Chun hummed: "Back off, I understand."

This time, she and Gu Yuan were invited by Her Royal Highness the Eighth Princess to come to the lake for a cruise.

It was said that he was invited by the Eighth Princess, but in fact the Sixth Prince was also there.

Although she was unwilling to get along with this group of people, her eldest brother was busy, and it was her who was invited by the Eighth Princess.

Her eldest brother had already rejected the Sixth Prince, and if she rejected the Eighth Princess again, it would inevitably be seen as ungrateful if it got out.

Besides, Pei Ding is still under house arrest, so it’s not good to cause any more trouble.

Now that the Crown Prince has died, the Sixth Prince is the first choice for the future crown prince in the eyes of many people in the capital.

Although there was also a twelfth prince who had just turned fifteen and also sat at the tables of the various families in the capital.

Moreover, he has recently been specially supported by the emperor and sent out to do many tasks to win the hearts of the people.

Judging from the way the emperor had previously checked the crown prince and the sixth prince, it is estimated that the twelfth prince will also fight the sixth prince constantly.

However, the Sixth Prince is the emperor's only adult prince after all.

Pei Chun put all the hidden weapons in order and stuffed them into his sleeves. Then he took Gu Yuan's hand and walked towards the approaching ship.

The size of the Eighth Princess and the Sixth Prince's boats was not comparable to Pei Chun's small boat.

The boat she and Gu Yuan had was called a small boat, while the boat that the Sixth Prince and the Eighth Princess had was called a painted boat.

It is two stories high, with bells jingling on the eaves and exquisite silk curtains blocking the view of outsiders. When you get closer, you can vaguely see the figures inside the boat through the gauze.

The cabin was filled with the melodious sounds of stringed instruments and the frivolous laughter of prostitutes.

The maid waiting at the door gently opened the curtain, and Pei Chun brought Gu Yuan into the cabin with the Eighth Princess smiling.

"Your Highness the Sixth Prince, Your Highness the Eighth Princess."

Sitting in the cabin were officials from the Sixth Prince's faction. Pei Chun took a quick glance and found the legitimate son of Duke Ping among them.

"Fu Ning and the Third Prince of Xijiang are here. It's a good thing that Sixth Brother is here too. Let's go boating on the lake and enjoy the scenery together!" The Eighth Princess' eyes lingered on Gu Yuan for a moment.

Then he smiled and greeted Pei Chun.

Pei Chun narrowed his eyes, and this time he could clearly see the subtle look in the way the Eighth Princess looked at Gu Yuan.

She rolled her eyes, put on a flawless smile, reached out and took Gu Yuan's hand, and sat next to the Sixth Prince in the seat that had been reserved for him.

Now that she is a woman, as long as Gu Yuan is around, she doesn't have to be so restrained.

After more than a month of marriage, it has become a habit for Gu Yuan to take care of Pei Chun.

At this moment, he was pouring the wine, which smelled fine, to Pei Chun with a natural expression.

Pei Chun was used to it too.

"I don't know what Ming Jing has been busy with these days. No matter how I call him, he always can't come out. If I hadn't been busy with important matters recently, I would have personally gone to his residence as the Minister of Revenue to arrest him!"

The Sixth Prince reached out and patted the prostitute's butt on his lap.

Anyway, there was no woman on the boat whom he wanted to win over, so he looked much more relaxed than when he met Pei Chun before.

Also a lot more leisurely.

Pei Chun habitually took the wine handed over by Gu Yuan, took a sip, and replied with a smile: "The Qiqiao Festival is coming soon, and the Ministry of Revenue is busy organizing a temple fair. Big brother is the Minister of Revenue, so naturally he will be busy as well."

After she finished speaking, she placed the wine glass on the table and nodded, then turned her head to look at Gu Yuan and blinked her right eye, signaling Gu Yuan to pour more wine.

Just as he was about to turn his head, he keenly noticed someone's gaze behind Gu Yuan.

She glanced subconsciously.

Oh, it’s Jiang Xingren.

Seeing him lower his chin slightly as if to say hello, Pei Chun was speechless for a while: "..."

Should I tell him that the Sixth Prince is the next target she wants to eliminate?

Why is it that the master that Jiang Xingren chooses to work for has some connection with her...

strangeness.

Is it bad luck or luck for him?

Is it her fault that Jiang Xingren became a slave of three families in this life?

From this perspective, Jiang Xingren's career... was really bumpy.

Tsk, pitiful.

"I see. It is I who has hindered Mingjing and got in the way!" The Sixth Prince expressed his dissatisfaction with a smile.

Pei Chun heard it, but didn't intend to pay any attention to him.

If the Pei family loses the verbal fight with a prince, they will lose face; if they win, they will be in trouble.

Besides, the Sixth Prince knew the situation in the Ministry of Revenue very well, he just wanted to use this as an opportunity to warn others.

In other words, what the Sixth Prince wanted was for the Pei family represented by Pei Chun to apologize to him or express submission.

Everyone understood what the Sixth Prince meant.

But Pei Chun didn't respond.

The air was silent for a moment.

The Eighth Princess, however, was very tactful and came out to smooth things over: "Sixth brother, what are you talking about? Minister Pei is working for our Zhao State, so he is too busy to come out.

Didn't they send Funing to accompany us?"

Pei Chun smiled and calmly accepted the step handed to him by the Eighth Princess.

On the other side, the Sixth Prince did not speak either. He just lowered his head and used his hands to play with the body of the prostitute on his legs.

As for whether you heard it or not, that depends on your own opinion.

Pei Chun didn't care and picked up the wine glass to drink calmly.

The Sixth Prince kissed the beauty's cheek and licked the powder on his lips.

He thought that now that the crown prince was dead, he was the only older prince left in the entire capital.

Pei has no one else loyal to him, so when will the military command of 80,000 troops be handed over to him?

Beside the Sixth Prince, Zhang Sheng, the legitimate son of Duke Ping, said, “No matter how busy you are, you can always find time to attend the Sixth Prince’s banquet.

After all, His Highness doesn't usually invite us to a banquet, so it's a bit unreasonable for Minister Pei not to come when he occasionally invites us."

Pei Chun shifted his gaze to Zhang Sheng and secretly pooh-poohed the Duke of Ping and their family's crooked legitimate son.

As expected, both father and son are toads. They don’t bite people but make people sick.

He is fanning the flames and looking for trouble everywhere.

"What are you talking about, young master? Is it my brother's fault for working for the emperor?

Could it be that the young master is saying that His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince intends to usurp the throne of the Emperor?

Young Master, you have no achievements, but you are the legitimate son of Duke Ping after all, so you should be careful with your words!"

Pei Chun stabbed without hesitation. She had a bad temper to begin with, and she felt humiliated in front of the Sixth Prince because of her status and position.

Did she have to endure another beating in front of the son of the Duke of Ping, who was of lower status than her? !

"You!" Zhang Sheng couldn't help but stretched out his finger and pointed at Pei Chun.

Pei Chun held his neck high: "What about me? If you can beat me, then we'll talk! If you point your finger at me again, I'll chop your paws off!"

Zhang Sheng was so angry that he was shaking all over and his face turned red.

He had never been scolded like this before, let alone by the daughter of Duke Xin. It was really humiliating!

Because of this incident, everyone in the houseboat focused their attention over here.

Only Jiang Xingren, seeing Pei Chun's weird attitude, secretly slapped his thigh.

It’s over, it’s over for his career!

Jiang Xingren wailed in his heart. It was obvious that his benefactor had ill intentions towards the Sixth Prince...

Because Pei Chun has become a woman, she can be much more unrestrained than when she was a girl.

It's just a small act of pointing fingers and scolding someone.

She was not afraid of the strange looks from the people around her.

Above, the Sixth Prince finally couldn't bear it anymore and slammed the table: "Enough! What a shame!

Funing, why are you yelling like that?

And you, Zhang Sheng, Funing is a princess. You are so brave to disrespect the princess of the royal family!"

Zhang Sheng choked and sat down angrily, but his expression showed obvious dissatisfaction.

Pei Chun made a "smack" sound in his heart, thinking that the Sixth Prince was becoming more and more like the Emperor.

It's really disgusting!

The Eighth Princess took the opportunity to look at the glass of wine that Gu Yuan had just poured himself and that Pei Chun accidentally spilled.

She raised her eyes again and looked at Gu Yuan's expression, and found that he seemed to be used to it, his expression was calm and there was no change.

She spoke with a tone that hinted at disparagement: "Fu Ning, stop being angry. There is no woman like you."

Over there, Zhang Sheng finally found an ally. He was struck by the point and glared at Pei Chun like a victorious fighting cock.
