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

When Yu Tingwan saw his expression, he felt bad, thinking that he was going to talk nonsense again.

When he heard the word "coffin", he covered his mouth with his hands and said unbearably: "Don't you know that I can only say auspicious words today?"

Not only was the person whose mouth was covered not annoyed, his eyes became quiet for an instant, and then the deep unhappiness disappeared.

Yu Tingwan let go of his hand, lay down and turned his back.

When she woke up at midnight, she opened her eyes and saw a man in court clothes sitting under the window.

"Aren't you in the palace?"

Pei Zhi raised his eyes, walked to the couch, leaned over and said, "I'll take you to the palace for the banquet."

"Today, the courtiers came to persuade Jin Biao for the second time, and you just left all the officials behind like this?"

Yu Tingwan's eyes were slightly opened, and she didn't care about anything else. She was busy getting down and dressing up.

Even though she knew that he would definitely come back after performing the trick, her eyelids still jumped.

"Don't worry, we won't have a banquet until you and I are here."

Pei Zhi spoke in a leisurely tone, stood behind her, stared at the person in the bronze mirror for a moment, and then ordered someone to bring the necklace sent from the Western Regions.

The jewelry of noble ladies from the Western Regions has always been extravagant and exaggerated, but it suits Yu Tingwan quite well. With her bright eyes and crimson lips, the red treasure surrounded by gold threads is placed around her neck, like red plums falling in the snow.

The pearl tassel falls on the chest, and the golden lotus flower at the end is only half the size of a fingernail. There is something embedded in it. Whenever you move, there will be a sound, but it is extremely subtle and you can only hear it if you are close to it.

He personally put on the necklace for her, rubbed the side of her neck with his fingertips, and said with some regret, "There was no mark left last night."

Prime Minister Sizhi Li Wei wandered around the palace, grabbing his colleagues and asking them one by one where the King of Wei was.

Yuan Qi smiled lightly: "Li Sizhi, you finally took a break, how come you are still so diligent in your official duties?"

"I have something important to report to King Wei."

Yuan Qi obviously didn't care. Li Sizhi was talking about important matters. He pointed his finger at the palace in the distance and said, "Master Li, why don't you wait there."

That is the only way out of the palace.

Li Sizhi thought for a moment and asked him: "Did you just see King Wei leave the palace?"

"Yes."

Yuan Qi nodded slightly and looked at him guarding there without any guilt at all for deceiving his colleagues.

He did not see King Wei leave the palace, but this year at the Zhengdan banquet, the court allowed officials to sit with their families instead of separate men and women as in the past, so he knew that the princess would come.

Yuan Qi sighed, and the third brother finally returned home. Mrs. Yuan almost fainted from crying, and used the word "filial piety" to force Yuan Ziyu to stay longer.

He lowered his eyes and remembered that on the day Yuan Ziyu came to Beijing, King Wei's words made Yuan pay close attention to his children.

Today, King Wei will definitely return to the palace in person to take the princess into the palace.

Yuan Qi looked calm, feeling that he had not deceived the thick-browed Li Sizhi.

There was a thunderous sound of rolling wheels in the distance, a carriage passed through the palace road, and eight tall black horses stepped on the stone slabs, causing everyone on the side to bow down and get out of the way.

The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty once gave the King of Wei Nine Tins, two Xuanmu horses, and chariots and horses to match the emperor.

Pei Zhi got off the carriage first and then reached out to help Yu Tingwan get down. The cold wind made her tassels sway in her steps.

"Why aren't you wearing that white fox fur?"

"It's warm inside the carriage, so I forgot about this." Yu Tingwan pursed her lips and saw that he was about to put the fox fur on herself, and whispered: "It's actually not cold at all."

Glancing at her ears that were blown red by the wind, Pei Zhi looked down at her with a cold face.

At times like this, even if there is no one around, she looks like she is afraid of being seen, as if the relationship between the two is not visible to the public.

He lowered his eyes and tied the two silver embroidered belts, and heard the woman beside him say: "It would be bad if those ministers saw it."

"All the officials are waiting for the banquet in the Guangzhong Hall. How could anyone see it?" His face became even more ugly. "So what if they saw it? I'll just put on some clothes for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Tingwan saw a man in official uniform coming from a distance.

"My Lord, I have something important to report to you, Li Wei."

"What's the matter?" Pei Zhi said calmly.

Li Wei looked at the princess beside him, hesitantly.

"No need to avoid her."

Li Wei hesitated for a moment, "Pei Ke's illness has gotten worse. I feel a little strange."

The man in the prime minister's official uniform nodded slightly, interrupted him and said: "Come to the palace tonight and tell me, or I may prepare a seal and hand it over."

Yu Tingwan only heard the name Pei Ke and thought it was the Pei clan that had caused some trouble for the King of Wei.

After Li Si left, she didn't ask any questions. After entering Guangzhong Hall and sitting down, she found that Zhao Heng was like a puppet and didn't say a word. Instead, Pei Shu spoke up: "Sister-in-law, I specially gave it to you." Fine wine is prepared.”

After she finished speaking, she poured a glass and paid tribute to Princess Wei beside her.

Zhao Heng, who had been motionless, seemed to suddenly come to life. He grabbed the glass of wine and drank it. His eyes darkened and he said: "The King of Wei has contributed to the court. I have to have a drink with the King of Wei today."

He poured another glass on his own and said to Yu Tingwan: "I have heard that King Wei and the princess are in love, so I... would like to offer a drink to the princess."

Zhao Heng paused for a moment. He didn't know what he thought of, and his emotions were complicated. He felt that King Wei's robbery of the concubine was a slap in the Zhao family's face, but he also found it novel.

When King Wei entered the palace just now, he was as dignified and cold as usual. But after he sat down, the woman beside him whispered something, which made the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his expression was like ice meeting the spring breeze, overflowing with the gurgling water.

Zhao Heng saw clearly and couldn't help but glance a few more times. Pei Shu thought he had some bad intentions, lowered his voice and said coldly: "Your Majesty, all the officials are here."

There was a lot of music and music playing in the palace, and Pei Shu and Yu Tingwan chatted. She was stunned for a moment when her eldest sister-in-law was concerned about her health, and she said with a smile: "There is an imperial doctor arranged by my eldest brother in the palace, so I will be fine."

Pei Shu wanted to fool her with this, so she started to persuade him to drink. She knew that Yu Tingwan liked Baimozhi wine, so she specially ordered someone to prepare it today.

There are also cinnamon wine, pepper wine, bamboo leaf, fermented sake, sangluo wine, cangwu wine, wuchengruo wine...

King Wei remained silent until he saw the palace maid pouring the eighth bottle of wine for Yu Tingwan. He couldn't help but hold her wrist and said softly: "You can't drink any more."

When Pei Shu saw the look from her elder brother, she couldn't help coughing twice and stopped trying to persuade him to drink.

Yu Tingwan's eyes were clear and he glanced at the hand.

"I drink well."

Pei Zhi laughed and said softly: "If you like it, we can drink it when we return home."

Of course, Prince Wei also had wine in the palace, but she liked to drink cold wine, and he was afraid of harming her health, so he didn't allow her to drink too much.

As soon as Yu Tingwan put down the wine bottle, he heard a commotion not far away, as if there was a chaos, and a group of palace maids and eunuchs gathered around.

"Your Majesty, who is sitting there?"

The man with a faint smile on the side glanced at the farce and said, "Maybe someone drank too much."

After saying that, she did not forget to ask the palace maid to take away the wine bottles and flasks on her desk.

Pei Shu slammed the tea cup on the table and said angrily: "Which courtier dares to be rude under my nose?"

The female officer silently leaned close to her ear, and she didn't know what she said. Her face suddenly turned ugly, and she squeezed out a sentence between her teeth.

"Take Pei Ke's embarrassing thing to the side hall."

Pei Shu's voice, neither loud nor quiet, fell on Yu Tingwan's ears.

Before she could ask which Pei clan member this was, she saw a man in his thirties stumbling towards her and Pei Zhi. He knelt down with oil on his face and cried loudly.

"Second brother, they all bully me and won't give me a hard time."

Yu Tingwan turned her face and saw Pei Zhi's profile turned as cold as ice as he looked at the man on the ground.

She knew clearly in her heart that the person who could be called the second brother of King Wei should be ranked according to the Pei clan. His father was Pei Zhi's eldest uncle.

I have heard for a long time that the late king always treated this nephew favorably, even though he was a fool, he also gave him a title.
