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

Yu Tingwan looked out the door in surprise.

"Want to go to the front hall with me?" Pei Zhi's voice was faint.

"He should just come to see you." Yu Tingwan looked confused, "What should I do?"

He laughed, stood up and took her hand, "Asul brought a gift for you."

When I walked to the front hall, I saw countless wine jars and a cart of... grapes? Yu Tingwan couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

Pei Zhi was calm, only frowning slightly when someone suddenly appeared from behind the pile of grapes.

"Your Highness, King Wei, I haven't seen you for a long time."

The man who spoke looked less than 30 years old, bared his white teeth, smiled at Pei Zhi, and looked at Yu Tingwan: "This must be the princess? She is exactly the same as the rumors."

She smiled politely, and after a few polite words with him, she couldn't help but ask, "Rumors?"

"They say the princess is beautiful and beautiful."

Asul didn't tell the whole story. Last year, a caravan was searching for rare treasures in the Western Region, and finally fell in love with the ruby ​​​​on the throne of Yarkand. The caravan was backed by the forces of the Central Plains, so they went straight to get it, and actually succeeded.

Later, someone saw the ruby ​​being made into a necklace for women at the most famous craftsman in the Western Regions. King Shache once drank too much and said that the ruby ​​was given to Princess Wei thousands of miles away.

When the nobles of the Western Regions saw that the princess was liked by the King of Wei, they said that she must be beautiful. The envoys brought to Beijing this time brought many more gifts for women.

Pei Zhi naturally knew those rumors. Instead of showing joy at this moment, he frowned slightly and said softly: "Mediocre people only know that skin is precious."

There are thousands of beauties in the world, but there is only one Yu Tingwan.

Those nobles from the Western Regions thought that the princess must be fond of dressing up because of her beauty, so they gave her a bunch of useless expensive rouge.

Asu paused and laughed dryly, wondering why King Wei was still the same as before, silencing others with a few words.

He also thought that after King Wei married a wife, his temper would be gentler.

Asul looked away and felt that Princess Wei was easier to talk to. He smiled and said: "These fine wines are my special gift to the princess. Please don't dislike it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that King Wei glanced at him, and Asul immediately said: "His Royal Highness specifically mentioned in the letter to me that the princess likes wine."

His face is very characteristic of the Western Regions. His long eyelashes are as black as thick ink. His deep light brown eyes are extremely sincere. He is dressed in commoner clothes and has honey-colored skin. He looks like a farmer.

Asul loved farming, and he traveled thousands of miles away during the war to ask for farming books. He made these wines himself, and planted the grapes himself, without any help from others.

He looked a little complicated, remembering the letter from King Wei, which as usual contained concise and concise instructions. Finally, he suddenly mentioned that the wine sent back was good and the princess liked it.

It was rare for the King of Wei to mention personal matters. Asul came to Beijing this time and brought all the fine wines he had collected.

When Yu Tingwan heard the words, he raised his head slightly and glanced at the person beside him. He noticed that she was looking at him. A smile appeared on the corners of Pei Zhi's lips and ordered his servants to put the things into the warehouse, leaving only two jars of wine to be delivered. Luming Hall for entertaining guests.

"Your Highness, will you allow me to have a meal today?" Asul's tone was filled with surprise.

In the past few years in the Western Regions, he had worked tirelessly as an ox and horse for the King of Wei, and finally his hard work was not in vain.

Pei Zhi nodded slightly and said, "You will not be in Chang'an for a long time, so I should fulfill my host's friendship."

"Your Highness, I am traveling to Chang'an with my little sister. She is waiting in the carriage outside the house."

Asul lowered his eyes, thinking of his rebellious sister, and felt a headache for a moment.

Pei Zhi frowned, remembering that there was a princess in Qiemo who was very domineering, and said coldly: "Then I won't keep you."

"Your Highness, my sister has something to ask for. Please ask King Wei to help find a man." Asul felt ashamed to speak, "Find a man."

Seeing King Wei's expression getting colder, his scalp went numb for a moment, but then he heard King Wei suddenly say: "If you have anything to say from now on, just say it and let her in."

It was almost noon. Pei Zhi remembered that Yu Tingwan had not eaten much breakfast. He paused for a moment and said, "Let's talk in the Luming Hall."

Walking to the east side of the front yard, passing through several corridors, you can see that the surrounding landscape is decorated with flowing water and beautiful trees. Whenever the grass and trees grow, it is flat and green.

When the emperor presented Jiuxi, the late king invited the dignitaries of Chang'an and the Pei clan to gather here and hang music from the four-sided palace that the emperor enjoyed to show his status in a grand manner.

The grass in front of the hall is now green, but you can still hear the crunching of withered grass just by stepping on it.

After Yu Tingwan sat down, he looked around at Luming Hall from the corner of his eye.

When Asul was not there, Pei Zhi smiled, lowered his head and asked warmly: "Wanwan, what are you looking at?"

She thought she had concealed it well. After being exposed, she pursed her lips and said, "I have never seen Shimian Gongxuan."

Luming Hall had not been used for a long time, and she thought Gong Xuan would be here. When Yu Tingwan was young, she heard her father mention that there was a musician in the King of Liang who was good at playing elegant music. After hearing Gong Xuan's performance, he said that only The joy of this kind of metal and stone can communicate with heaven and earth.

"In a while, you will be able to see it when offering sacrifices to the late king." Pei Zhi paused for a moment, "After Asul leaves, I will order someone to play it for you."

"No need." Although Yu Tingwan was curious, thinking of the whole set of bells and chimes, she still said, "It's too troublesome."

I regretted mentioning this, lest Pei Zhizhen would have his servants lift out the entire four-sided palace just because of her words.

She tugged on the sleeve of the man next to her and said softly: "It's not interesting for Gong Xuangle to come here. Didn't you say yesterday that you would play chess with me tonight?"

"You clearly refused yesterday." Pei Zhi said with a smile on his lips, "It would be boring if I had to let you secretly."

Yu Tingwan's ears turned red, she let go of her hand and said, "I'm not bad at chess either. You made it so obvious. You clearly look down on me."

"You have made great progress after studying the chess records." He didn't blink, and his smile became deeper and deeper.

She recalled the random comments made by the person in front of her before, and just as she was about to refute him, she saw Asul coming in supporting a young girl.

"Aisha has met His Royal Highness the King of Wei and met the Princess." She gave a decent Central Plains salute. There was no trace of domineering on her beautiful face. Even though the King of Wei said no courtesy, she still touched her forehead and refused to get up. .

Asul didn't want to worry about this unfulfilled sister. He sat down and said, "Aisha, since His Highness allows you to get up, you are disobedient."

Sure enough, King Wei's expression did not relax as the beauty knelt down, but instead became more ugly.

The girl stood up immediately, sat down and remained silent.

Yu Tingwan couldn't help but ask: "Why does the princess look so bad? Do you want the doctor to take a look?"

"Princess, there is no need to worry about her." Asul looked like he had a headache, "She asked for it."

It was clear that he was a good brother who cared about his sister just now, but now he spoke sarcastically whenever he mentioned Ayesha, which even Pei Zhi found strange.

"Thank you for your kindness, Princess. I am fine." The girl, with heavy makeup on her face, looked at King Wei who was sitting at the top. "I wonder if Your Highness can be kind and help me find a young man named Yun."

She lowered her long eyelashes and choked with sobs: "Your Highness, if you can find him, I will be very grateful."

Asul choked a mouthful of water into his throat, and the King of Wei was sitting on the throne. What could Ayesha do to express her gratitude to those poisonous insects that were not worthy of being on the stage?

Pei Zhi chuckled lightly, "Is the princess going to make a deal with Gu?"

"My biological mother is a witch, and I am good at refining Gu." Aisha gritted her teeth and said desperately: "If King Wei is willing to help me, Aisha is at your disposal."

"No need." Pei Zhi's voice was like frost and snow, "Witchcraft is the most taboo in the Central Plains, and I am not so incompetent that I can rely on witchcraft to stabilize my country."
