When Yingzi said this, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were both petrified.

Zhen Huan said after a while: "The emperor is not only rich in poetry and books, but also has a deep heart. How can you judge a person by his appearance?"

Yingzi retorted: "Why would you look for an ugly old man like this if you don't look for a tall, handsome, wealthy man? If you want to talk about poetry and painting, wouldn't you look for a young and handsome man?"

Hearing this, the image of Prince Guo flashed through Zhen Huan's mind, and then she quickly shook her head.

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang fell into a long silence again. After a moment, they looked at each other and stood up to say goodbye.

Yingzi quickly stopped him and said, "Since you're here, why don't you play a few rounds before leaving? As the saying goes, since you're here, you're here."

The two of them declined repeatedly, and finally Yingzi let them go after learning that there was no winning hand at Fanying Pavilion.

Seeing that Yingzi was really bored, Baoque suggested, "My dear, you haven't walked around the Old Summer Palace since you arrived. Why don't you wait until the afternoon when the sun is not shining and go out for a walk?"

Yingzi nodded and said, "Good idea."

Yingzi and Baoque went out to stroll in the garden in the afternoon. Yingzi did not wear flowerpot shoes, but soft-soled embroidered shoes.

The two of them walked and stopped along the way and arrived at Tonghua Terrace.

I could hear the sound of a flute from afar, and when I got closer I saw Prince Guo who had accompanied Yingzi at the banquet that day.

Yingzi didn't like this guy very much, he seemed a little strange.

When they were still far away, Yingzi said, "Let's go over there and play, so as not to disturb others."

Just as I turned to leave, I heard a voice from behind: "He Guiren!"

Yingzi stopped and wondered whether to look back.

As a result, the sound of jogging was heard, and soon, Prince Guo ran over and stood opposite Yingzi.

Yingzi didn't say anything and just watched what Prince Guo wanted to do.

Seeing Yingzi's calm face, Prince Guo smiled and said, "My Lord, I played the flute that day, but I haven't heard you say thank you yet."

When Yingzi heard this, she said angrily, "I haven't settled the score with you yet. I was singing well, but you suddenly played the flute and almost messed up my tune."

Prince Guo, who was blamed, was not angry. He said gently, "Oh? I didn't realize that the nobleman's tone was messed up."

Yingzi frowned and said, "I don't allow men to have a psychological advantage."

Hearing this, Prince Guo was somewhat puzzled and asked, "What does this mean?"

Yingzi replied: "The acting is terrible."

After Yingzi finished speaking, she walked around Prince Guo and left.

Prince Guo did not call Yingzi behind her back again, but as he looked at Yingzi's back, the expression on his face was very meaningful.

Yingzi walked around for a while, but she couldn't walk any more.

Baoque asked the patrolling guards to call for the sedan chair, and after waiting for a while, Yingzi got on the sedan chair.

However, this sedan chair did not go back to Fanying Pavilion, but carried Yingzi to Qinzheng Hall.

After the sedan stopped, Su Peisheng bowed and said, "My dear, the emperor sent a servant to pick you up."

Yingzi nodded and followed Su Peisheng into the Qinzheng Hall.

After entering the hall, Yingzi was stared at by Su Peisheng and had to bow.

The emperor sat behind the dragon table without raising his head or asking anyone to stand up.

Yingzi stood up on her own and sat on a chair nearby.

After a few breaths, the emperor looked up and saw Yingzi nibbling on the snacks on the table.

The emperor sighed silently and said, "The bowl you brought was found to contain medicine for sore throats. Baojuan, who served you, was imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment and committed suicide out of fear of punishment."

The cake in Yingzi's mouth no longer smelled good, and she asked, "Medicine for a bad throat? Isn't this going to kill me?"
