Chapter 3：

Seeing Tao Ti standing in a daze, Pei Yan explained in a low voice, "Maybe you will be wronged for a few days. There are female officials sent by the father and the queen guarding them. If we divide the room now, maybe something will happen. It's...but don't worry, you won't touch you alone."

As he said, he pointed to the bed, "This bed is big enough, you sleep inside, you sleep outside alone, okay?"

He explained so patiently, Tao Ti is not an unreasonable person. Besides, what is really going to happen, in terms of her face value, she has made a profit, alright!

"Yes, then let's... go to sleep." Tao Ti walked down to the bed and took off his shoes, and then slowly crawled into the bed.

Pei Yan looked at her sideways, she was also wearing only a thin bedclothes. At the age of sixteen, her body was mature and her curves were graceful. This posture of crawling in, revealed a white greasy neck behind her dress, adding a bit of ambiguity.

He looked away calmly, no emotions could be seen under his handsome face.

In a moment, he got up and extinguished two candlelights.

From the corner of his eye, I caught a glimpse of Tao Ti looking towards him, and he explained, "Guo sleeps very lightly. If the light is too bright, then you can't sleep well. If you are afraid of the dark, then click it again..."

"Ah no, I don't like being too bright." Tao Ti found that he was really taking care of others, no wonder the outside world had a loyal and gentle impression of the prince, which is indeed the case now.

The candlelight went out, and the big red curtain with the playful pattern of Baizi slowly lowered.

When Pei Yan lay down, Tao Ti felt that the originally wide bed suddenly became narrow.

She was unconsciously stretched, and her breathing became light and slow. Although he knew that he wouldn't touch himself, he had lived for so many years, sharing the bed with a man for the first time, and saying that he was not nervous is a fake.

There was silence between the bed curtains, and only the breathing of the two could be heard.

Tao Ti closed his eyes and tried to force himself to fall asleep quickly, but a faint scent was smelled on the tip of his nose. Is this the smell on him?

There is no bitter medicinal smell, no unpleasant sickness, this fragrance is very fresh, like a forest covered with snow, which makes people feel peaceful and peaceful.

Just like him, gentle and tolerant, getting along with him, like a spring breeze.

Gradually, Tao Ti fell asleep in the fragrance. After a day of tossing, she was really tired.

The breathing near his ears became long and even, Pei Yan slowly opened his eyes and looked sideways.

The woman beside her slept soundly, her black eyelashes were like a fan, her white and tender cheeks were a little fat, and a touch of candlelight was spilled on her face through the red curtain, as if she was dyed with crimson rouge.

The way she fell asleep was really good.

However, when you are awake... it seems to be pretty good too?

After getting along tonight, she is completely different from the "pretentious, perverse and eccentric" spread outside. Are you pretending?

…

The next day, the sky outside was faintly green with crab shells.

Maybe it was because she was not used to sleeping in a strange place, Tao Ti woke up very early. But Pei Yan woke up earlier than she did. When she got up, her pillow was already empty, and he was not seen.

Not long after, a group of palace maidens came in one after another, waiting for her to wash and dress up.

Compared with the bad attitudes of the palace people last night, these palace people are not cold or warm, they are like a tool person with no feelings, coming and going silent.

Only the maid with her hair comb, who was called Linglong, spoke a few words to her.

"Prince princess, do you think this makeup and bun are okay?" Linglong asked.

Hearing that, Tao Ti's eyes fell on the delicate bronze mirror, and when he saw the face of the person in the mirror, he couldn't help but brighten up.

The woman in the mirror has a snow-skinned appearance, a small round face, a small nose, and plump and rosy lips. The most exquisite is her eyes—black as grapes, and the eyelids are slightly lowered, with a touch of seductiveness. Innocent and pure.

At this moment, she is combing the hair of the lady in the palace, wearing golden jewelry, like a well-dressed doll.

Seeing Tao Ti's silence, Linglong asked, "Prince Princess, what's wrong?"

Tao Ti returned to her senses and smiled at her, "Your hands are very clever, so you look good in your dress."

Seeing the brilliant and kind smile of the princess, Linglong was taken aback, and said in a low voice, "The princess is satisfied with it."

"By the way, where's your Highness?"

"His Royal Highness is studying in Chongwenguan at the moment, and he should be back soon."

Tao Ti glanced at the slightly bright sky outside the window and smacked his tongue. She was really diligent when she got up so early to study.

She sat up, glanced at the palace people in the temple, was silent for a moment, and asked aloud, "Are these all palace people in the East Palace? My family didn't bring anyone to serve?"

Linglong was silent, as if thinking about how to answer.

At this moment, there was a deep, golden and cold voice from outside the curtain, "Your close maid and maid were a little gaffe yesterday, so the lonely asked them to take them down to rest."

The bead curtain shook, and a slender moon-white figure slowly approached, looking handsome and handsome.

Pei Yan looked at Tao Ti gently, raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it because the palace people in the East Palace are not doing well?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the people in the palace changed.

Tao Ti naturally felt the atmosphere, and hurriedly said, "No, no, they are all serving well, I just asked casually."

"If you are still accustomed to the old people, let them come back to serve you later." After a pause, Pei Yan looked at her gently, smiling slightly, "You look good in this way."

Early in the morning, Tao Ti lowered her head embarrassedly by her beautiful little brother, "Thank you for the compliment."

Pei Yan curled her lips, "Go with breakfast, and you have to go to please the father and the queen later."

"Please, please...?" Tao Ti was startled.

Seeing her with a look of surprise, Pei Yan said in a soft voice, "Don't be nervous, father will not embarrass you, as for the queen...she will not."

Tao Ti still had no bottom in his heart, and asked in a low voice, "His Royal Highness, what happened yesterday...Do you know your Majesty and Empress Empress?"

Pei Yan said, "It should be known."

Yesterday, the bride was directly carried back to the new house by the servant wife. She didn't even pay her respects. With a little bit of brain, she could guess that there was something tricky. But it's one thing to think in your head, it's another thing to dare to say it.

Hearing his affirmative words, Tao Ti's face paled, and her heart squatted: Heaven is going to kill me!

The emperor and the empress both knew about her taking poison, so isn't their favorability with them directly negative? I am confused and offend the big boss of this era, what is his own ambition!

But what should be faced is still to be faced, and there is no escape.

After a boring breakfast, Tao Ti muttered silently "Don't panic when things happen", and followed Pei Yan like a little quail, and went to the palace together.

—

The bride and the prince are coming to greet you, so today's Ganquan Palace is particularly lively.

Queen Zhou wears a phoenix crown and gold silk brocade phoenix gown, sitting on the phoenix chair upright.

She is well maintained, her skin is delicate and tender, she has no wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and she has a mature charm all over her.

Below her left and right, there are four high-ranking concubines sitting noble, virtuous and virtuous. In addition, there are five unmarried princesses. Among them, the second princess Pei Lingbi from Queen Zhou is the most prominent.

Pei Lingbi usually wears beautiful attire, and the more colorful and rich she is dressed today, people who don't know think she is today's protagonist.

Seeing that the prince and the princess hadn’t come yet, Pei Lingbi helped the gilt filigree dotted green bead in the hair room and swayed, and said lazily, "It’s been a while since I didn’t even see a personal image, let the queen mother and you all. The empress is waiting for her alone, my second sister-in-law can really put on airs."

Empress Zhou looked at Pei Lingbi majesticly, with a bit of warning, "Newlywed Yaner, the later will be later, you don't allow nonsense."

Pei Lingbi curled his lips and muttered in his heart, what kind of newlywed Yaner, such a bad thing happened in the East Palace last night, who doesn't know?

That stupid Tao Ti actually committed suicide by taking poison. Tsk tsk, the prince was afraid of vomiting blood from anger, right? I heard that I went to an imperial doctor, but I didn’t know if it was saved. But even if he was rescued, why would Tao Ti still have the face to come out to see people?

She was thinking about gloating, and suddenly there was a shrill sound from outside the hall, "The prince is here, the prince is here—"

Everyone in the hall straightened up and looked at the door.

Pei Lingbi frowned slightly, didn't he, really came?

The morning light illuminates the hall, and in the warm spring light, a pair of Bi people come side by side.

Needless to say, the appearance of Prince Pei Yan, Rao is that everyone in the hall is familiar with him, and at first sight, he is still shocked. After looking at it for a few times, his gaze fell on the woman next to him.

I saw the woman wore a smoky pink wide-sleeved long dress, combed with a flying fairy bun, and decorated with a festive and exquisite ruby ​​head face, bright eyes and white teeth, a delicate face, and a clear aura between her brows and eyes.

Seeing everyone looking at her, she was not shy, and smiled generously.

This smile, like the warm winter sun reflecting the white snow, and like the spring rain blowing the green willows, makes people feel very comfortable.

The four concubines of Noble Shuxian Virtue are all at the age of mothers, and they all give birth to joy when they see such a well-behaved and beautiful little girl.

"The sons and ministers give the queen empress, everyone please peace." Pei Yan arched his hands.

"Daughter-in-law to the empress and empress, everyone please peace." Tao Ti bowed his legs in a respectful manner.

Queen Zhou smiled kindly, "Okay, okay, let's get up. Come on, take a seat."

Tao Ti sat down next to the prince, and listened to Queen Zhou beckoning to the princesses, "Come on, you guys should also send greetings to brothers and sisters."

The five princesses stepped forward one after another in order. The eldest princess married to Pingxi in his early years. Now the largest in the palace is the second princess Pei Lingbi, who is the same age as Tao Ti, and both are sixteen. The remaining princesses are twelve or thirteen years old, and the youngest six princesses are only eight years old.

Tao Ti greeted them in a friendly manner. Except that the second princess looked at her a bit strange and uncomfortable, it was generally harmonious.

Empress Zhou exchanged greetings with them with a smile, Pei Yan replied kindly throughout the whole process, while Tao Ti sat aside, obediently as a smiling vase.

After sitting for about a quarter of an hour, a chubby **** walked in and smiled and saluted Empress Zhou, "Emperor Empress, your Majesty, please go over there."

"Okay." Empress Zhou looked at Pei Yan and said gently, "Yan'er, you go to please your father first, and the princess will sit with me again."

Pei Yan's black eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at Tao Ti thoughtfully, seemingly hesitant.

Tao Ti blinked his eyes lightly at him, motioning to her that she could handle it alone, so that he should not worry.

"..." Pei Yan smiled at her, got up and left, and followed the chubby eunuch.

Empress Zhou filled her eyes with the interaction of their young couple above her eyes, a dark color flashed in her beautiful eyes, but her face was still kind and gentle, and she teased, "Is it a newlywed couple, I can't bear to leave for such a while, this Bon Enai is really envious of others."

The other concubines also smiled and agreed. For a while, they praised the prince and his wife for their good relationship, and for a while they praised Tao Ti's appearance and good manners.

Tao Ti secretly breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the queens and concubines' attitudes toward him fairly friendly.

However, according to what Pei Yan said, the queen knew that she was taking poison, but she was still so kind and kind to herself, which showed that she was trying to understand and pretend to be confused and not to pierce this layer of window paper... from this perspective. , The harem woman's acting skills are really good.

Just when her thoughts strayed, the second princess Pei Lingbi suddenly said, "Second sister-in-law, my prince brother is not in good health, you have to take good care of him, don't make him angry."

Tao Ti was startled, with a polite smile on her face, "His Royal Highness is my husband, I will naturally take good care of him, the second sister don't worry."

Hearing her calm and calm answer, Pei Lingbi's face changed slightly, staring at Tao Ti like a ghost.

Tao Ti didn't go to see her, and turned to chat with the other princesses.

After another tea time, an **** came in and said that his majesty proclaimed the prince to pass.

"Queen empress, ladies, that daughter-in-law will leave first." Tao Tishi stood up, and the palace people behind him filled with gifts from the empress and concubines.

"Good boy, go." Queen Zhou smiled and nodded.

"Mother, I'll send the second wife out." Pei Lingbi got up quickly, and did not wait for Queen Zhou to agree, and followed Tao Ti's footsteps.

As soon as the two walked out of the hall, Pei Lingbi suddenly grabbed Tao Ti's wrist.

Tao Ti was startled, frowned, and said displeased, "Second princess, what are you?"

Pei Lingbi stared at her face tightly, her lips pressed tightly, strange. It seems that Tao Ti... has become a lot more beautiful?

Although her appearance hasn't changed, she always looked lifeless and withdrawn before, but today she is beautiful and generous, with an overwhelming bright light that makes people unable to look away...

Fortunately, I dressed up specially today, just to suppress her limelight. I didn't expect that when she came, the attention of the lady in the palace would be put on this bitch, which is really hateful!

The dissatisfaction in Lingbi's eyes became more intense, he raised his chin arrogantly, and said in a commanding tone, "You come with me, I have something to ask you."

This tone made Tao Ti extremely uncomfortable, but thought that this was still within the Ganlu Palace, and that so many court ladies and eunuchs were watching, it was not easy to quarrel with her, so he walked behind the pillar with her.

After making sure that no one could hear their conversation, Pei Lingbi’s pretty face sank instantly, her raised Danfeng eyes stared at Tao Ti, and said coldly, “Tao Ti, why haven’t you die?"
