Yu Yan sipped her tea and also looked up at King QI curiously.

Her Majesty had added a chair beside her, and there he sat, talking and laughing with the ladies without restraint.

The world's three great nations: Evergreen, Xuanleng, and Tian Mo.

The Houqing Kingdom worshipped the characters and the Tianmo Kingdom worshipped the warriors. The two nations fought each other for land throughout the years. Although his Houqing Kingdom was strong, the bravery of his soldiers were far inferior to Tian Mo's. After being hammered by the Tianmo Kingdom all year round, only when they reached King Xiao did they change the situation and beat back the elite wolf cavalry army of Tianmo Kingdom with all their might. They cried like ghosts and howled like wolves, shed tears for a thousand miles, and were continuously beaten back.

As for the royal families of the Xuanleng, they just wanted to make a fortune and send their soldiers to explore all over the place everyday. They dug high mountains, they dug the sea, they dug everywhere they wanted to dig.

They raised Warlocks who looked at Feng Shui using gold and silver, capable people who dug up treasures, but they could not find the skill manual in Xuanleng. Even their banner had a huge gold coin drawn on it.

But just because they were rich, they could buy over ghosts and gods, and could buy over demons and devils. They had spies in Houqing and Tian Mo, and the ministers of both countries spoke up for them, while the women of the harem fought and gave birth to a bunch of beautiful daughters and handsome sons. They fought a war with the two countries and hid behind them to find treasures.

If you were to ask him for money, he would immediately give it to you, saying that he would not participate in your business. The two nations might force their Xuanleng to the other side, so they did not make it difficult for the Xuanleng, and continued to attack and kill each other.

Sulanqi was such a beautiful and rich, powerful and noble man! It was no wonder that when these women saw him, their hearts would not be at ease. The noble ladies could not help but pull their unmarried daughters over to get close to him.

"What are you looking at?" Ye Jian Su suddenly turned to ask her, while Qiu Xuanling also turned her head.

"Hmm?" Yu Yan turned and look at her. After staying in the manor for such a long time, she rarely met with these two madams. Both of them avoided each other and did not want to cause any sparks to fly.

"Are you looking at King Chi? How can you be so upset? " Ye Jiansu said again. Her loud and sharp voice once again attracted everyone's attention.

Yu Yan wished that she could take out the tea bowl and knock her head, making her deliberately provoke him! She raised her eyes to look in front of her. At the same time, King Qi was also looking in her direction. The light in his eyes grew brighter.

"Yu Yan, as a woman, you should be more reserved and docile. If you let Your Highness know, you will suffer again." Ye Susu sneered.

"Madam, you don't need to tell the prince. The prince has been at my place for the past few days and is already dissatisfied with me. If Madam says so, he'll come again tonight to punish me." Yu Yan pondered for a moment, her fingers lightly gripped the teacup, and timidly begged for forgiveness.

Everyone inhaled a breath of cold air. So King Xiao was with them every day, wasn't that what they thought he was?

Ye Jiansu's expression changed again and again. She was so angry that her teeth itched. She fiercely glared at her and turned her head away.

"Eh, Yu Yan, I'll come over to your place to play tomorrow night." But Qiu Xuanling was not angry, holding a tea bowl, she sat with her, blinking her eyes, and said excitedly.

He was obviously going to meet King Xiao at her place!

Yu Yan pursed her lips and smiled, then nodded lightly.

"Hmm, I'll bring some good wine as well. What would you like to eat? I brought it to you. My family's cook specializes in making pastries. " Qiu Xuanling said with a smile.

"All good." Yu Yan lightly nodded her head, her eyes squinted as she smiled, and put on an expression of being overwhelmed by the unexpected favor.

In the midst of the discussion, she heard a chuckle. She looked over and saw that King Qi was still staring at her. He raised the jade bottle towards her with his long fingers.

Hey, stop messing around! Yu Yan detected his intentions, and started to complain in her heart.

"I'm happy today, so why don't all of you sisters present your talents to broaden King Qi's horizons? If there's fate, I will make a decision and let King Qi marry him. King Qi doesn't have a main wife yet." Empress Dowager Fu Ye swept her eyes over Chi Wang and Yu Yan, and saw their gazes. Her red lips curled up as she pointed to the girls in the palace with her gold finger, and smiled.

The hall immediately became lively.

"Rong Xin, you are the imperial concubine, and are familiar with Chi Wang since childhood. They haven't even come out of the pavilion yet, so they can't compare to you being generous. Fu Ye was also called Zhao Rong Xin, Zhao Taizhu's daughter was normally in her heart, but today he was so silent, causing her to feel unhappy.

Zhao Rong Xin got up, and then blessed her with her body. She turned her head and said to her servant: "Go get my guqin."

The servant girl went down immediately. She had brought her zither with her and placed it in the compartment. The servant girl hurriedly carried her zither and placed it on the table. Everyone was immediately stunned.

"The name of this zither goes around to look at the zither, and it was even obtained from the previous emperor. It was made from a thousand years of Agarwood, and these six strings were made from the tail of a Han Blood, a BMW, and silk. It took three whole years of craftsmen to make them, and look at the inlaid jade, it's Cen Shan's Ancient Jade."

Ye Mingyue was also someone who loved the zither, she was extremely envious when she saw the zither. She whispered: "This is great, if I had a zither like this, I would have no regrets in my life."

"Your highness dotes on you. Have your highness find one for your elder sister as well. It is said that there is also a legendary guqin called Hong Qi, which is much better than this one." Actually, I also want this zither. " Ye Jiansu sighed softly and said enviously.

"Although the zither is good, the person who can play it is also good." Chen Yao looked at the two and said softly.

"Sister is right." The two quickly lowered their heads and respectfully replied.

Yu Yan looked at her coldly. The three women took Chen Yao as their leader and had great respect for him, it did not take Chen Yao long to make all the servants in the King Xiao mansion respect her.

Zhao Rong Xin slowly walked to the side of the zither and sat down. Her beautiful sleeves gently slid across her snow-white wrist as her fingertips lightly pulled on the strings.

Her name shook the capital and she was definitely not lucky. Other than her looks, there were very few people who could compare to her zither arts.

The song, "Floating Light World", mesmerized everyone who heard it. There was almost no sound of breathing in the hall, so they all held their breaths and listened attentively, afraid that the sound of breathing would be too loud.

A beautiful song suddenly rose up, melodious along with the strings.

Everyone turned their heads and saw a woman get up from her seat. As she sang, she blessed herself like the empress dowager on the platform. With a flick of her sleeve, she danced again.

"Who is this? "You want to challenge me like that?" Chen Yao was also stunned.

"This is Tong Lian, the fourth thousand gold from Sir Tong's family in the Ministry of Public Office. Her singing throat can make Huang Ying fall from the Pear Blossom Tree."

Among the five women, she was the most neglected. After entering the King Xiao Palace, not only did she not receive any good fortune, she did not even get a chance to wait upon the King Xiao and eat.

"Good singing." Qiu Xuanling praised as her hands lightly danced in the air with the embroidered handkerchief.

"What are you arguing about? Have you seen the world before?" Ye Jiansu glared at her again.

Qiu Xuanling immediately lowered her head and moved closer to Yu Yan.

Chen Yao turned her head to look at the three of them, and faintly smiled. Ye Mingyue was an art fanatic and had already been engrossed in it. She didn't care what the four of them were doing, as she lightly pulled at the air with her fingers and memorized the music scores.

As for Yu Yan, she started to remember that the bill Nian En brought in for her, was for Dongzheng Street's Wu Ah Pa to sue him for money and exchange it for ten silver from his deposit of a hundred taels.

She could not go straight to Wu Ah Pa, and all her questions were written on paper, so Nian En could take them out. Wu Ah Pa replied, and Nian En had already written down all the words that she could not write.

She dipped her finger in the tea and wrote softly on the small table, wondering how to find any doubt in the case.

It wasn't easy for an honest man who did business for a hundred silver taels to save, but she wanted to go back to her hometown and buy a place for her son to live. If she became a wife of ten silver taels, then wouldn't it be worse than killing him? She hated the profiteers! "Yu Yan hated these black-hearted people the most. She wished that she could write a quick letter and scold this black-hearted shopkeeper until his blood dripped from his head. She was too ashamed to see her parents.

To Yu Yan, the noise that could be heard was too loud! Not a pleasure! She just didn't want to say it out loud, especially when she was trying to put on an act in front of a man. This made her feel even more disgusted.

"Xiaoling, after one year, you have grown. King QI, what do you think of your singing?" the Empress asked King Chi with a smile.

"Not bad, very good." King QI clapped his hands and praised with a smile. With a raise of his hand, a follower immediately brought in two large plates. He untied the cloth in front of everyone, and two dazzling, dazzling, golden-inlaid Jade Head Flowers attracted the cheers of the women.

"So beautiful."

"Look at that ruby."

"Truly a peerless treasure."

King Qi nodded with a smile, and told his followers to bring the two wooden trays to the two of them, saying in a clear voice, "The Imperial Concubine's zither skills are unparalleled in this world, and it's hard to get a glimpse of them. Miss Xiaoling's singing and dancing were also beautiful and moving. It was an eye-opener for Little Wang. These two pearl flowers are merely little gifts, please accept them. "

"Take it." Zhao Rong Xin was used to seeing good things, so she did not mind, and only allowed the servant girl to take it.

Tong Lian was overjoyed. She took the tray and bowed to thank him, "Thank you, King Qizhi."

"Esteemed empress dowager, this little prince was too generous with his gifts. Empress Dowager, shall we go out and take a look?" King Qi looked at Her Majesty.

"What kind of treasure is this? Do you need to go out and take a look?" Her Majesty smiled, and she rose and extended her hand to him.

"The empress dowager, please." King QI took her hand and walked out of the hall with her.

All the girls stood up and walked out. Yu Yan's heart was already filled with relief, she was in a good mood as she followed behind the crowd to watch the commotion. A few large, square chests were covered by a few pieces of golden embroidered cloths. The faint sound of rustling could be heard, and Zhang Xuan didn't know what it was.

King QI clapped his hands, and his follower took off the brocade cloth. A snow-white peacock appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Ah!" I can actually see the divine object! " Everyone sighed.

Yu Yan was also very excited. It was said that the White Peacock had disappeared for over a hundred years, she never thought that she would be able to see it for herself today. The proud bird turned its proud neck and stared coldly at the commoners who surrounded it. The long white feathers dragged behind it, and the sunlight fell on the snow-like feathers, making it seem as if one could see the holiest and cleanest snow on the peak of the mountain.

"It's a pity it won't open its mouth." King Qi walked over, took the folding fan from the guard, and slipped into the iron cage. He lightly patted its head, and the three crown feathers immediately separated, the bright claws taking a few steps back. Xue Yu poked out of the iron cage, but kept it tightly closed, not letting anyone see its beauty.

"It really is a godly bird." Her Majesty nodded in admiration.

"Also, the empress dowager will come with your nephew." King QI took her hand again and led her forward.

There was a small pond in Her Majesty's back garden. The crowd followed, but they saw nothing at the lake.

"King Qi, what did you bring This Dowager to see?"
