Chapter 26：

Seeing Zhou Muyan rushing up suddenly, everyone was shocked.

Tao Ti's eyes flickered, and she subconsciously raised her hand to block—

A crisp sound of "pop" suddenly sounded.

Immediately afterwards, there was another painful sound of "Ahhhhh".

Tao Ti's left hand passed through Zhou Muyan's right arm, while the other hand held her wrist and twisted it back. Zhou Muyan was stunned, and was firmly restrained by Tao Ti. That was really embarrassing.

Everyone was dumbfounded: What happened just now! Why is the girl restrained this week?

Zhou Muyan only felt that her wrist was about to be broken, and this posture was really embarrassing, her eyes were glistening, and she glared at Tao Ti, "You bitch, let go!"

"Are you scolding again?" Tao Ti increased his strength.

"Ahhh, it hurts!"

"You know the pain, I don't know the pain? You can beat me, I can't beat you, how can there be such a reason in the world." Tao Ti sneered.

"What are you like, can you compare with this girl? You quickly let me go! Did you hear that!" Zhou Muyan turned her head hard and saw Tao Tisi unmoved, so she scolded Cui Xi, "You still stand stupid. What's the work, quickly pull her away from me!"

"You, you, you...you hurry up and let go of my girl, otherwise we will let you go around!"

Cuixi was willing to protect the Lord, but she saw it with her own eyes just now, and the woman twisted her girl into twists and turns. If he stepped forward, he would definitely not be pleased.

She shrank her neck cowardly, and shouted bluffingly, "Girl, bear with me, and the slave and maid will go out and call for someone."

Tao Ti smiled suddenly, "Call someone? Go! Anyway, things are getting bigger, your girl's "honorable" deeds of bullying and beating people in the street spread out, and it's also your Zuo Xiangfu's face that was lost!"

After a pause, she swept around the people present, righteously saying, "Everyone just looked at it for real. She was the first to provoke me, and even if she went to the court, I was justified! "

As soon as she finished speaking, a beautiful girl in a pink tunic stood up, nodded politely to Tao Ti, and said softly, "If you need a witness, I am willing to testify for you."

Most people who can consume in Tianyi Pavilion are the female relatives of high-ranking officials and noble families. Although some people do not dare to say much because of the power of the left, most of them are reasonable. Seeing that someone has spoken, the others have also expressed their opinions. response:

"Yes, we all saw it too, it was this Miss Xiangfu who did it first."

"That is, there is no such unreasonable thing in this light world. Everything is important to come first, then come first. It is obviously this lady who fancy this satin first. You can't get it and become angry and beat people. It's too much! "

"Hey, I thought that the noble ladies in Chang'an are all knowledgeable and reasonable. I never thought that there are such arrogant and unreasonable savage goods. To put it in a nasty way, what is the difference between this sect and the bandit?"

Hearing these words, Zhou Muyan's face flushed red, and she didn't know if it was a pain in her wrist or she was embarrassed and angry.

Her gaze swept over those who made the noise, and then stared fiercely at the girl in the pink tunic who was the first to speak, "Song Yuning, what's the matter with you!"

The woman called Song Yuning is the granddaughter of Song Taifu, the eldest girl of the Song family.

Seeing Zhou Muyan's expression of resentment, Song Yuning's expression was indifferent, there was no fear between his eyes, but he didn't say much.

Tao Ti looked at her gratefully, "This girl, thank you very much."

Song Yuning smiled faintly, "You're welcome, she was rude first."

Zhou Muyan is really angry now, her hand is still twisted right now. Are these two still talking?

She gritted her teeth and looked at Tao Ti, her voice a little hysterical, "How are you going to let go!"

"Apologize."

"Impossible!" Zhou Muyan almost blurted out, "I want this girl to apologize to you? What kind of thing are you...Ah, it hurts... I apologize, I apologize..."

Tao Ti thought Muyan was really funny this week, her hand strength was a little bit weaker, "Go on."

Zhou Muyan's face was full of reluctance, and she said in her heart: After getting away, it won't be too late to find this **** to settle accounts. She sighed and said bitterly, "It's me who is wrong. I shouldn't **** your satin or do anything to you. Please don't care about me."

"Gone?"

"What do you want!?"

Tao Ti raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect this domineering lady to say anything good. Although her attitude of apologizing was not sincere, it was regarded as an apology... She just barely accepted it.

After all, she was here to play this trip out of the palace, and it was not good to cause trouble.

"Don't be so arrogant in the future, it's easy to get beaten." Tao Ti said lightly, letting go of Zhou Muyan's hand.

Suddenly freed from the shackles, Zhou Muyan quickly rubbed her about to break her wrist. The intense soreness from her wrist bone almost made her tears soar.

Seeing her beautiful eyes with tears and a pitiful look, Tao Ti twitched at the corner of her mouth and didn't pay much attention.

I didn’t know that this step hadn’t been taken yet, that Zhou Muyan suddenly moved again—

This time she didn't want to hit someone, but moved towards the hat on Tao Ti's head.

"You bitch, who is still wearing a drapery in the shop, is it ugly and faceless to see people? See if I will tear your face?"

She grabbed the white gauze hanging down from the brim of her hat and pulled it hard.

This unexpected movement made Tao Ti dazed for a while, the next moment, the veil on her head was torn off, revealing a delicate and bright face.

For a while, the shop was quiet.

When everyone came back to their senses, they all sighed in awe, "It's a beautiful appearance, with vermilion lips and teeth, and brilliance. It's really a lotus out of the water, and it's natural to decorate!"

"Yes, I don't know which wife she is, she looks so beautiful, no wonder I always wear a veil, if I am a man and marry such a beautiful wife, I would definitely not be willing to be seen by others."

"Haha, just now the Xiangfu girl said that she was ugly and she didn't have the face to see people. Now she sees her true face, she can't speak..."

Zhou Muyan was indeed speechless at this moment.

She stared at Tao Ti, her face was red and white, as if she had seen a ghost.

She, how does she look so good?

Also, why is this woman so familiar? Where have you seen her before? Seeing that she is about the same age as herself, but is wearing a woman’s hair bun, well, what are some of the noble ladies who have been married to women in Beijing in the past two years...

She was trying to remember that Tao Ti had already put on her hat again.

She raised her hand to open the corner of the curtain, and looked at Zhou Muyan coldly, and said unceremoniously, "Are you sick?"

"You!!" Zhou Muyan just wanted to refute it, and suddenly everyone in the store let out a low cry of surprise.

Tao Ti looked up, Zhou Muyan frowned, and turned to look subconsciously.

I saw a slender and tall silver-gray figure strode in, and with his appearance, the whole shop seemed to become brighter.

At first sight of Pei Yan, Tao Ti was a little surprised, his bright eyes blinked gently, "Hall...Are you finished?"

Pei Yan stood still in front of her, staring at her deeply, with a gentle tone, "Are you okay?"

"I'm okay." Tao Ti shook his head slightly, thinking about how he would always be so coincidental every time he tears things up!

Ah, ah, can you still maintain a gentle and well-behaved persona? !

Pei Yan looked at her up and down, and after confirming that she was not obstructed, he turned his attention to Fu Xirui, and his voice dropped a few degrees, "What's the matter?"

Fu Xirui bowed her head hurriedly, briefly describing the ins and outs of the matter.

After listening, Pei Yan glanced at Tao Ti's arm calmly, and then slowly turned around.

When facing others, the tenderness on his face disappeared instantly, and a pair of deep black eyes stared at Zhou Muyan, "Are you bullying my wife?"

"I, I, not..."

Zhou Muyan's knees were soft, and if Cuixi hadn't helped her in time, she was afraid that she would have to plant it.

Prince, why is the prince here...

Suddenly, a consciousness flashed in her mind, and her pupils suddenly widened. Looking at Tao Ti again, everything is clear.

Yes, she said why this woman is so familiar! Isn't this the daughter of Yongwei Houfu, the current prince Tao Ti?

But why is she different? Tao Ti, whom I saw at the banquet before, was a silent and solitary counselor. She had an empty face, but she shrank her head and couldn't get on the table...

But now is not the time to entangle this. The problem now is that I have provoked the prince, and I was hit by the prince!

Zhou Muyan squeezed out a smile that was even worse than crying, and said softly, "Biao, cousin, I didn't mean to..."

Pei Yan's thin lips made a mocking arc, and he hummed, "Who is your cousin?"

Zhou Muyan choked.

Pei Yan's dark pupils were filled with dark light, and the corners of his lips smiled deeper, and he said slowly, "I will meet Zuo Xiangtang tomorrow and I will ask for advice on how to manage the family."

Zhou Muyan only thinks that his appearance is really terrifying, with a smile on his face, but the gaze that looks at her is like a cold knife that is blowing and resolutely clinging to her scalp, making her for no reason to be born behind. Chilly.

She didn't dare to look directly, squabbling and trying to explain, "The hall, the hall..."

Before she could say a word, Pei Yan turned around, took Tao Ti's hand, and said, "Let's go."

The words seemed soft and squeezed out of the water, completely different from the cold look just now.

Tao Ti was taken aback for a moment, still a little bit unrecoverable, dumbfounded, "Oh, good."

Pei Yan smiled gently at her, her cold palms tightly wrapped around her soft little hands.

Tao Ti suddenly remembered something. Before she could say anything, Pei Yan glanced at Fu Xirui as if he knew how to read the mind.

Fu Xirui said immediately, "Madam, don't worry, the old slave will put the satin on."

"Yeah." Tao Ti smiled slightly, then quietly raised his eyes to look at Pei Yan. He was so powerful, he understood without saying a word.

Pei Yan led her out, and the onlookers in the store couldn't help spreading to both sides, automatically giving them a way.

When they went out, everyone couldn't help but look out.

I saw that handsome and precious man personally helped the lady onto the carriage, showing tenderness and consideration in every move.

"That lady is beautiful, and her husband is even more handsome, but she is really a pair of talented and beautiful people."

"Who said no, she is so lucky, Lang Jun not only looks good, but also treats her so considerately. It's really more popular than others, my family doesn't look good, and the temper is very big..."

"The husband-in-law is always the best of other people's homes. What kind of stuff is yours, don't mention it."

Most of the married ladies lamented the considerateness of men, while the unmarried girls were blushing and whispered, "That man is so good-looking. I have never seen such a handsome man in my life."

"Yes, Zhilan Yushu, Xiao Xiao Susu, hearty and clear, I don't know whose son's son is."

"Even if you know who it is, what if you have a wife, don't think about it."

"I, where did I think, I just ask casually!"

Everyone was whispering, until Fu Xirui and the others paid the bill and went out with the satin, got on the carriage and left, the people in the shop turned their eyes back and turned to look at Zhou Muyan who was stunned.

"I don't know the origin of that Langjun, even the girl from Zuo Xiang's family is jealous of him."

"I seemed to hear her call that Langjun's cousin just now?"

"Ha, you got it wrong, if she is really a relative, wouldn't she even recognize her own sister-in-law? Is she embarrassing in public?"

"That's probably because you heard me wrong..."

"You must have heard it wrong, I think that Lang Jun was very unfamiliar with her attitude just now, you're not very welcome!"

Listening to the surrounding discussions, Zhou Muyan was able to recover, her small face was white and white, and her heart was flustered.

Cuixi quickly supported her and said carefully, "Girl..."

Zhou Muyan lost her eyes, embarrassed and panicked, and said hurriedly, "Go, go, go back!"

She had to tell her about this to her father in advance, otherwise if the prince finds her father first, then she will be out of luck!

Seeing the backs of the master and servant leaving in embarrassment, everyone laughed a few times and then dispersed.

It's just that in a hidden corner, the beautiful girl in a pink tunic frowned her eyebrows, her pink lips slightly pursed, and her face was solemn.

Her companion and friend took her hand and said angrily, "I knew it was that woman, you shouldn't have spoken to her just now!"

Song Yuning squeezed the veil in her hand and said softly, "But Zhou Muyan really deceived people too much in this matter today."

"Let me say that she and Zhou Muyan are not good things, let's see how good they bite their dogs..." the companion and friends were quite sighing, "If your grandfather hadn't let you marry the prince, you are now with your highness. It should be you...I also heard about the night of the wedding. Tsk, the woman was really crazy. If it weren't for the prince's generosity, I'm afraid that the entire Yongweihou Mansion would be head-to-head."

Song Yuning's eyelashes moved slightly and remained silent.

The friend saw her look sad and hurriedly comforted, "Yu Ning, in fact, your grandfather is also doing good for you. Although the prince is good in appearance and temperament, his body... is really not a good match. You, you, still Don't worry about him anymore."

Song Yuning pursed her lips, and after a long time, she whispered a low "um".

But her heart couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, especially when she saw the prince's brother caring for other women so thoughtfully, she only felt that there was a row of needles pierced tightly in her heart.

That's it, now their husband and wife are singing and singing, and their affection is increased, even if they are envy and jealous, what is the use?

I’m only to blame myself for not being brave enough. If you express your heart to your Highness early, or try to fight for it in front of your grandfather, even if she is a widow, she is willing to marry your Highness...

Is she the one holding his hand now?

...

In a carriage that was driving smoothly, the curtains were hanging down, and the enclosed space was extraordinarily quiet.

Pei Yan stared at Tao Ti and said nothing.

Tao Ti, "..."

Um, do you want to find a topic? The atmosphere seems a bit awkward.

While she was searching for topics, Pei Yan suddenly held her right wrist.

Tao Ti was stunned for a while.

When she came back to her senses, she opened her eyes and looked at him, "Holy, Your Highness?"

Pei Yan still hung his head, and his slender cold fingers lifted her sleeves up little by little.

A slender and tender arm slowly emerged, and in the middle of the forearm, there was a red mark, which was especially obvious.

Pei Yan's thin lips were slightly pursed, the corners of his mouth were stretched straight, and the long and thick eyelashes were hanging down, which could cover the coldness of the rolling and surging under his eyes.

Zhou, Mu, Yan.

The fingers with well-knotted joints gently stroked the patch of red, the action was so careful.

"I shouldn't have left you alone." The voice contained a certain suppressed emotion, but it was gentle and excessive.

"Oh, it's okay. It just looks scary, but it doesn't hurt much." Tao Ti said optimistically.

Before Zhou Muyan's sudden slap slap, she subconsciously blocked it with her hand before she could completely avoid it.

To be honest, it was really painful all of a sudden, and she wondered if Zhou Muyan had broken her palm. Fortunately, I blocked it quickly, otherwise, if it hits his face all of a sudden, his face would be swollen for two days.

Seeing Pei Yan still hanging his eyes and not speaking, Tao Ti comforted, "I'm really fine, besides, she didn't please her, her wrist was almost cut off by me, and she lost such a big ugly in public... Don't worry. Now, I’m not that good to bully."

Hearing the second half of her sentence, Pei Yan let out a low laugh, "Yes, I know."

"Wait to go back and get you a bottle of jade skin ointment." He put down her sleeve and said softly, "Don't worry, she will pay the price."

Tao Ti said in surprise, "Are you really going to tell the Zuoxiang about this?..."

Pei Yan let go of her hand and said softly, "Zhou Pinglin is her father, and he won't really do anything to her. At best, it's a small punishment, and it's also an outrage."

Tao Ti thinks about it, but Zhou Muyan's temperament is afraid of bullying people on weekdays, so she should learn a lesson and keep her memory long.

Pei Yan said again, "If you like that kind of satin, I will send someone to buy a batch tomorrow..."

Thinking of his style of buying and buying, Tao Ti couldn't laugh or cry, and said hurriedly, "Don't! I just made a few summer dresses not long ago, and it’s okay to wear it for a summer. Besides, I bought this satin for you."

There was a wave of waves in Pei Yan's indifferent eyes, "Bought it for me?"

Tao Ti curled her eyes and looked at him with a smile, "Yes, I think that color suits you well, and the cloud and crane dark pattern is also pretty, the satin is soft and clear, so it's perfect for summer gowns. ."

Her smile was so pure, her dark eyes seemed to have been washed by rain, and she was so clear.

Pei Yan's heart moved slightly.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "Why are you... why are you so good to Gu?"

Tao Ti tilted his head and said without hesitation, "We are friends, you are good to me, of course I must be good to you."

Pei Yan's eyes narrowed, "Friend?"

Seeing him asking back, Tao Ti felt a little guilty, "Uh, isn't it?"

Doesn't he still consider himself a friend? Then my one-sided wishful thinking is just... well, it's embarrassing!

Pei Yan was silent, after a moment, only smiled at her gracefully.

Tao Ti smiled when he saw him, only as if he had acquiesced.

But Pei Yan knew very well that he didn't want to be her friend.

He wants to be her man.

...

It's night, Zhou Mansion.

Zhou Pinglin, the left minister, stared at his wife Liu, and the crying daughter Zhou Muyan. He couldn't help but scolded, "You know crying when you cry! Are you not very capable when you are robbing things in public!"

Zhou Muyan sobbed, "She wore a drapery hat and didn't show her face. How did I know that she was a princess!"

The Liu family also agreed, "Yes, sir, no one knows that the prince will accompany the princess to come out together... alas, Yan'er is too unlucky this time..."

"Unlucky?!" Zhou Pinglin slammed the cup in his hand and said angrily, "You are ashamed to say that if you weren't used to her on weekdays, how could she dare to be so presumptuous outside? Ashamed, what a shame!"

Liu Shi was scolded and didn't dare to reply, but bowed his head in awe.

Zhou Pinglin looked directly at Zhou Muyan with a sharp gaze, and said in a deep voice, "Now you go back to the room for me, don't go out within this month, and give me a good reflection in the room!"

"Ah? No, dad, I will go to Pingguo's house for a flower appreciation banquet in the future."

"Now I say you dare not listen?" Zhou Pinglin frowned, his heart was angry and dull, it was a crime, how could he raise such a stupid daughter like a pig!

Zhou Muyan bit her lip and wanted to argue twice, "Father, I..."

Liu's family could see that Zhou Pinglin was really angry this time, so he hurriedly pulled her sleeve to wink her.

Zhou Muyan had to shut up obediently.

"Okay, Yan'er, you should go back to the room first." Liu Shi retreated her outside the house, and then raised her voice to remind the housekeeper, "Send the girl back to the room, take care of her, and don't let her run around."

Zhou Muyan frowned and said coquettishly, "Mother!"

Liu's patted her hand and said in a low voice, "Hey, after a while, your father will get rid of his anger, and my mother will intercede with you again."

Up to now, this can only be the case.

Zhou Muyan curled her lips, thinking bitterly, that Tao Ti was to blame for being annoying before, but after being married, she was annoying!

Inside the house, Mr. Liu closed the door and calmly comforted Zhou Pinglin.

"Master, you don't have to be so angry. It's not a big deal. The prince has always been gentle and generous, so he shouldn't make a difference! Even if he tells you, you promise him to come back and discipline him well... A sick child, he won't be able to sit on this prince's seat for long."

"Shut up!" Zhou Pinglin glared at her, "Can you talk nonsense about this?"

Liu took the veil and pressed the corner of his mouth. He thought, what to pretend to be, lying on the same couch, don't you think so?

Zhou Pinglin sighed, "Do you not know how your Majesty loved the Gu family back then? He loves the house and Wu, and when Gu is gone, he gave this love to the prince. Even if the prince says he wants the moon in the sky, his majesty will find ways to do it. Get it down for him!"

Liu clan was silent, of course she knew Queen Gu's great favor back then.

If it were not for Gu's unwillingness, Emperor Zhaokang would almost dismiss the harem three thousand for her. Even after the death of the eldest prince, in order to make Gu's child the eldest son, he gave other concubines a decoction, even the pregnant concubine was born by him.

Later, when Pei Yan was born, he was established as the prince. In order to show his favor and attention, Emperor Zhaokang amnesty the world, and the celebration feast was held for seven days and seven nights.

It's a pity that Gu's life was not good, and he couldn't bear this grace, and he died early.

Later, when the Gu family found out about the rebellion, Emperor Zhaokang did not kill them, only demoted them to the northwest, which was twenty years...

"What about the most favored pet, Gu's blessing, her son is as blessed." Liu's muttered, lowering his voice, "In two years, the third prince will become the prince, and our Zhou family's position will be stable! "

"You'd better keep your mouth tighter." Zhou Pinglin took a look at her and said with a solemn expression, "As long as the prince is still alive for one day, let's not provoke him!"

"Yes Yes Yes."

"Prepare some generous gifts. You will come to the palace to meet the queen tomorrow, and ask her to say a few good words to the princess. As for the princess, I will apologize to him when the dynasty is dismissed tomorrow... Well, they are all your good daughters. , Incur these troubles for no reason!"

Zhou Pinglin became more and more angry, and after a few more confessions, he left the main courtyard and went straight to the concubine's courtyard to relieve his worries.

Early the next morning, Zhou Pinglin went to the court, and the Liu family also prepared generous gifts to enter the palace.

The warm spring sun enveloped Zhou Mansion, a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

But near noon, a horrified scream suddenly sounded in the backyard of Zhou Mansion—

"Ah ah ah ah my face!"
