Just like when the Pei family entered the Central Plains from the grassland, they received the help of the eight heavenly kings. Therefore, in addition to the taxes in Jiangnan as a transaction, there was also an unknown agreement between them, that is, all the imperial concubines of the emperors of the Central Plains dynasty must be the women of Shengjing.

This is how the Queen Mother gave her life.

Now, history seems to be about to repeat itself.

At this time, Xie Houqi brought so many beauties and his sister, just as Pei Yuanxiu was about to ascend the throne to fill his harem. This is on the surface, but he thought more deeply. Whoever Pei Yuanxiu wanted to enthrone as the queen means which party the court he established would tend to in the future.

If any of the Han sisters is enthroned, it means that the emperor will not completely give up on the south.

If he accepts Xie Houqi's hint, his entanglement with Shengjing will be even deeper, and at the same time, he must make an explanation to the forces in the south.

As for me...

I think this is his biggest choice for resistance.

Although the cooperation between Xichuan and the court has not reached the deepest level, since no words say that the emperor will come to Xichuan for me, there are some things that can be put on the table. As the eldest lady of the Yan family, I sound so majestic, but in Pei Yuanxiu, in his newly built court, I can be said to be isolated and helpless.

To enthrone me is an offense to both sides.

The Han sisters, especially Han Ruoshi, hated me to the core, and she knew the best. What the hell did I do in the middle, but after the destruction of the Cui family, no one would believe her now. As for the Xie Houqi, he would definitely want me to die. If he knew that Pei Yuanxiu wanted to enthrone me, he would definitely cause trouble.

Or rather, he had already felt a little sign, so Shengjing sent so many beauties, and his sister also sent them.

It seems that next, the palace will be lively again.

I thought about this, smiled faintly, and slowly turned around and walked back to the bedroom.

Sure enough, something happened on the third day after seeing Gardi.

On this day, Pei Yuanxiu seemed to have a rare leisure time and even had a rare good mood. He came to the bedroom to accompany me for lunch. Although he didn't say much, his breath was very peaceful. He just looked at my bad appetite while eating and frowned slightly, "You should eat more."

"Ah?" I looked up at him.

He said: "It's been five months, why are your belly still so small and you are still so thin?"

I looked down at my stomach and didn't say anything.

He said: "I heard that some women will be very thin when pregnant and will not be so big-bellied, but you are always so thin, and I feel sad when I see you."

I couldn't help but raise my hand and wiped my forehead, saying, "I have always been like this. I have never been fat in my life except when I was a child. When I was in my dream, I was also very thin."

"Yeah?"

He glanced at me.

I lowered my head and ate a small bite of rice.

He thought for a while, picked up a piece of meat and put it in my bowl, and said, "But no matter what, you should eat more. Just be thin, but your body cannot be weaker."

“…”

"In a few days, there will be another big event."

“…!”

My heart trembled slightly and I looked up at him.

In a few days, there is another big thing...what?

I was a little afraid of the hints coming from many things around me these days, and hearing his words made me feel even more uneasy. I held the exquisite porcelain bowl and looked at the snow-white and distinct rice inside, and I felt a little overwhelmed.

And at this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside.

I quickly turned my head, because it was rare today and the weather was not strong, so the door was not closed. I saw Eunuch Liu and two little eunuchs running over from outside, standing at the door, panting, and whispering: "Mr.———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Pei Yuanxiu frowned slightly and said, "Didn't I say, don't bother me?"

Eunuch Liu shrank, brushed his forehead with the back of his hand, and said carefully: "I, I deserve to die. But something happened later."

"What happened later?"

He slowly put down his bowls and chopsticks: "What happened?"

"Han Da-Pei, Madam, she and the prince's sister started arguing."

“…”

“…”

I turned around and looked at Pei Yuanxiu, and then I saw his face sinking.

I raised my eyebrows calmly.

I thought something was going to happen, but now it seems that these two people really live up to the expectations of the "people" and started arguing so quickly.

I heard Pei Yuanxiu's breath getting heavier, and as if I felt that I didn't want to care about this kind of thing at all. I picked up the chopsticks with my back hand and said, "Why is it quarrel? Just let someone pull them away."

Eunuch Liu glanced at him and said in a low voice: "They two of them seemed to have bumped into a small road and refused to give way, so they started arguing. The small road seemed to be right, not far from Linshui Pagoda."

With a "bang", Pei Yuanxiu put down the chopsticks heavily.

This time, I was shocked.

Linshui Pagoda?

Since the Empress Dowager passed away, that place has been sealed up by Pei Yuanhao, and no one has entered it again. Even that place is rarely approached. There are so many pleasant places in the palace, why did the two of them go there and argue?

Pei Yuanxiu's face immediately sank.

He stood up and said, "Go."

This surprised me a little. I watched him walk out in three steps and two steps. Just as he stepped out of the door, he looked back at me and said, "You have a good meal." After that, he took Eunuch Liu and the little eunuchs away.

I sat at the table, holding the bowl of rice that had become a little cold in my hand, and slowly put down the bowls and chopsticks.

Of course I am not a person who likes to join in the fun.

But it’s okay to go and see this kind of excitement.

So I immediately got up and walked out. I saw Pei Yuanxiu's back from afar, but he walked hurriedly without looking back, nor did he notice that I was behind him. I followed him along the way, and soon, I saw the scenery around him that was so familiar that he could not be more familiar.

The Linshui Pagoda is right in front of you.

The plants and trees in this place are more lush than other places in the palace. With the water flow, there is also a faint warmth in the air. Originally, this place was a rare quiet place in this palace.

But now, there are noisy people here.
