Walking out from the side door of the hall is a very long corridor, winding and twisting. Both sides of the corridor are filled with lush flowers and plants. Although it is already very late, the bright red light emitted by the lanterns under the eaves is not enough to illuminate the plants and trees. You can only faintly smell the faint fragrance of plants and flowers in the night.

In such a nearly pleasant environment, the maid took me to the end of the corridor, passed an arch, and entered the back garden.

There are much fewer people here than before, but they are still decorated with joy. Red lanterns are still hanging under the eaves, bright red satin is wrapped around the branches, and even some plants that are not blooming in this season are tied with flowers made of satin and colored paper. Everything looks so perfect.

The maid brought me here, then blessed me and retreated.

I stood among the flowers, and after waiting for a while, I smelled a faint fragrance. When I turned around, I saw a crimson figure walking out from the arch next to me.

She walked in lotus steps, and the waves of her clothes swayed gently brushed over the red embroidered shoes, as if they were sent by the wind. Even when her sleeves brushed over the flowers and plants on both sides, countless stars rose from the flowers. They were fireflies hidden in the branches and leaves, and they also flew around her, illuminating the red dress, and illuminating the delicate and beautiful face of her face.

She walked up to me, and the faint sneer that rose on the particularly beautiful and charming face was as familiar as ever, and said coldly: "You are here."

"..." I looked at her and didn't say anything for a moment.

The woman in front of me is the bride who is the wedding banquet tonight, Princess Anguo Pei Yuanzhen.

Tonight, the last person I want to see.

Speaking of which, I never thought Pei Yuanzhen was beautiful and charming. There were some beautiful and charming, but after all, there were 3,000 beauties in the harem, and there were too many beauties, and her faint and beautiful appearance was not so dazzling. But tonight, although the dusk was deep and the red light emitted by the lanterns far and near was not enough to illuminate everything, I still felt her bright light shining. The delicate face of the face had never been so bright and charming. The cheeks on both sides were dyed like red glow, which made the eyes look like bright pearls, with black and white distinction, and particularly clear. Her lips were also outlined with a clear outline, like a full cherry, which made people unable to help but want to pick them.

Looking at her like this made me feel a little lost for a moment.

Compared to my loss of consciousness, she seemed to be particularly energetic, and her eyes were so bright that they seemed to be glowing at any time. Looking at my faint expression, she said, "You are not surprised at all. Why, do you know I am looking for you?"

I nodded lightly.

"How do you know?"

I didn't want to speak very much, but after a moment of silence, I said lazyly: "The maid who came to call me has a strong smell of powder on her body. If she has such a strong smell of powder, she must be followed by a master with a strong smell of powder. Tonight, only the hostess of the wedding banquet will be worn with heavy makeup."

“…”

When I spoke, she kept looking at me silently. The more I spoke, the colder her face became.

But after I finished speaking, she laughed instead, but there was no smile in her eyes: "You are still as smart as you were in the palace."

“…”

"No wonder, my brothers are unwilling to let go of you no matter how you do it."

“…”

"But unfortunately, your intelligence doesn't seem to help you."

“…”

I knew she wouldn't have anything nice to say, but even if she was mentally prepared, she didn't plan to continue listening, so she said tiredly: "Is there anything wrong with you asking me to come? If not, then I'll go back."

After saying that, I was about to turn around and leave when I heard her voice coming from behind--

"Of course I have something to do."

The sound was a little cold.

I thought about it, stopped, and looked back at her.

She stood among a flower and leaf, and the moonlight shone on her, as if she had put a layer of faint, translucent silver gauze on her, making her whole body a little hazy, but her eyes were extremely sharp, and even at this moment, it was as bright as the blade of a sword.

But when she spoke, I was still surprised.

"What are you going to do?"

“…”

I subconsciously frowned and saw that she didn't say anything. Pei Yuanzhen looked at me like this and couldn't help but sneer: "My maid has come to report to me just now. The people from Xichuan are here, and the person who comes is the fifth brother."

“…”

She looked at me, her eyes becoming sharper: "Don't tell me that with your intelligence, you can't see anything?"

I bit my lower lip and finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

I was silent until now, and I knew I could not remain silent. Looking at her particularly sharp eyes, I slowly said, "Sure enough, you played a role in the middle."

She looked at me with her eyebrows like a spring willow.

I also looked at her: "Xichuan and the imperial court have a conversation, right?"

She smiled and said, "Did you see it?"

I said, "Your Majesty the Emperor is a rigorous person. Only those who have merits will be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes will be punished. Your Highness, the eldest princess is now honored as the Princess of Anguo and has obtained the privilege of opening the prefecture in Yangzhou. It is obvious that he has made great contributions to Your Majesty the Emperor, so that he has such favor. But Your Highness has been mourning for Empress Shuyuan over the years and has not participated in any of the things in the court. There is only one thing that is the one that the princess must do."

Pei Yuanzhen laughed again, but this time, there was a hint of pride in her smile.

Even, with a little provocative meaning.

Of course I also understand what she meant - at the state banquet when Shen Rou wanted to completely suppress me, she exonerated me in front of all civil and military officials and the emperor. After that, she and I met in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, which was windy and snowy. She wanted me to never see Liu Qinghan again, because mine could not get rid of the emperor's control at that time. I was so angry that I also mocked her and the forces behind her that would sooner or later be unfavorable to Liu Qinghan, because Fu Badai was assassinated when he entered the palace, which was already the beginning.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! But now, she has made a choice.

She made a choice between the power behind her and Liu Qinghan, and it was not either one or the other, but a win-win choice.

I smiled faintly and with a bit of tiredness: "It is indeed a blessing for the court to make such a choice, and it has benefited all the people."

She didn't feel anything about my flattery, but looked into my eyes more sharply: "What about you?"

“…”

"What are you going to do?"

“…”

I looked at her faintly: "Your Highness the Princess has made a choice, why bother with my plans?"

"I know your status in Xichuan, and I also know how many forces there are under your hands. If Xichuan wants to move, it is best to be wholehearted rather than dominate each other. Besides—" She looked at me, and a little chill in her eyes: "I also know that Mr. Yan attaches great importance to you. If he wants to make a major decision, he will definitely listen to your opinions."

“…”

“So I wonder, what would you do if this went on?”

For some reason, when I heard her words, I suddenly felt a tingling pain in my heart.

I suddenly remembered what Yan Qingchen said to me before leaving Chengdu - he told me that he was a businessman in Xichuan.

He also told me that Nishikawa was facing a crisis.

Until now, I still don’t know what kind of crisis it was that could make him pay so much attention to it, but now I can vaguely feel that it must be a very serious crisis, even far beyond my imagination. Otherwise, with Yan Qingchen’s temperament, he would not have easily established contact with the court.

It is very likely that it was because of that crisis that Pei Yuanzhen arranged it to live in peace with the court.

This makes me even more confused.

What kind of crisis is that?

Seeing my eyebrows slightly frowning, and even a few folds appeared, Pei Yuanzhen looked at me for a long time before saying, "You haven't answered my question yet."

"..." I looked up at her.

"what will you do?"

I thought about it and said, "I can't do anything."

Her eyebrows frowned: "What?"

"I can't do anything." I repeated it again, looking at her still shocked expression, and said lightly: "The things I can do are only here. As for the others, it is no longer within my ability. Although Yan Qingchen is my younger brother, I am not by his side for the years, and he is still the head of the Yan family. Although some of the people in Xichuan listen to me, I have not been in Xichuan for so many years, and they have also lived a good life."

“…”

"They have their ideas and practices, and I won't intervene."

“…”

At first, Pei Yuanzhen's face was shocked, and even a hint of anger, but as she listened slowly, her face calmed down.

After I finished my last sentence, she immediately said, "Where is the second brother?"

“…”

"You are his wife. Are you not going to make decisions in Jinling?"

“…”

Hearing this sentence, I couldn't help laughing and laughed out loud.

She immediately frowned.

But after I smiled and took it, I felt a deep feeling of fatigue, as if I couldn't even open my eyes. I didn't intend to continue the conversation, so I said lightly: "Your Highness, my words are all over. Goodbye."

After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

But just as I turned around, she rang behind her with a cold and warm voice.

"I haven't finished speaking one more thing."

"..." My steps stopped and I stopped: "What do you mean?"

"You know what I'm going to say, but I think it's better to explain it clearly." As she spoke, she seemed to have taken a step forward and had already walked behind me. The cold voice seemed to be right in her ears: "You also know that today is the day for me and him to be happy?"

I said coldly: "Congratulations."

"I don't need to congratulate you, I can't afford your congratulations," she said in a colder tone than me: "I will only tell you one thing, Qinghan has completely forgotten you."

“…”

I was silent for a long time, then slowly turned my head and looked at the face that looked exquisitely made of makeup and particularly gorgeous under the moonlight.
