Qin Peng kept Bai Zhi by his side and never thought of doing anything sneaky.

Qin Shuhuai probably doesn't think it's unusual that Bai Zhi is by her side. To put it simply, the thing is, don't you have any idea of ​​what you did in the past?

However, Qin Peng still pretended to be completely unaware of the relationship between the two people, and asked with a smile: "Why, the Regent Prince knows Miss Bai?"

Qin Shuhuai nodded, seemingly unwilling to say more about this matter, but changed the subject and asked: "Princess, what are you doing in the Hanlin Academy today?"

Qin Peng was a little surprised that Qin Shuhuai didn't dwell on this matter. She originally thought that Qin Shuhuai would at least ask about this matter, at least he should ask why the wife of Beiyan Chengenhou was here.

However, Qin Shuhuai didn't ask at all, as if he didn't want to embarrass them, and turned around to ask about the current situation.

Then Qin Peng remembered that the current Grand Tutor was Qin Shuhuai's man. She came to the Grand Tutor for trouble and should have reported it to Qin Shuhuai long ago. He might be handling government affairs in the palace, so she hurried over.

Qin Peng was amazed at Qin Shuhuai's dedication to his job, as he was determined to continue working despite being seriously injured. She was the type of person who would be lazy whenever she could. If she broke her leg, she would have to lie down and recuperate for several days.

There was pity and admiration in her eyes. Qin Shuhuai frowned and asked, "Princess?"

"Oh, that's it," Qin Peng came back to his senses, "I was talking to the tutor about His Highness's academic problems."

Qin Shuhuai nodded and pushed his wheelchair in from the door. Only then did Qin Peng realize that the threshold of the Hanlin Academy had been removed. It was probably removed overnight to make it easier for Qin Shuhuai to enter and exit.

Qin Shuhuai was pushed to Qin Peng's side. Jiang Chun was not here today, so Lu You was on duty. Qin Peng looked around and felt that now was a great opportunity to assassinate Qin Shuhuai...

Just kidding.

According to Qin Shuhuai's skills, unless Wei Yan is there, he will not be able to defeat him even if his leg is broken.

"Go on," Qin Shuhuai stopped beside Qin Peng, took the tea from Lu You, and said calmly, "I'll listen too."

Qin Peng smiled and lowered her head to sort out the documents. Qin Shuhuai glanced at her sideways and saw the sunlight falling on her. Bai Zhi stood quietly behind her with a smile on her lips, looking like a fox with bad intentions.

If it weren't for the huge difference in the face, Qin Shuhuai would almost think that it was Zhao Peng sitting next to him.

This is how Zhao Peng looks when he wants to punish someone.

"The Grand Tutor was a Jinshi in the third year of Datong."

Qin Peng said this with a smile. The Master knelt down, not quite understanding why Qin Peng mentioned this, and said respectfully, "Yes."

"During the Datong era, our Qi State was really full of talented people. At that time, the state religion had not yet been established and hundreds of schools of thought were competing with each other. Who was the master of the Grand Tutor at that time?"

Qin Peng asked, and the Grand Tutor's heart suddenly tensed up. Qin Peng's fingertips slid to a name on the file and said gently: "Lord Hua Zongqing of that year, I remember that this lord was a very radical lord. He once wrote an article to criticize the aristocratic family system, saying that everyone in the world is equally noble, and he even praised Chen Sheng very much..."

"The princess is biased." The Grand Tutor sensed something was wrong when he heard this and immediately said, "The meaning of Lord Hua's article back then..."

"The Grand Tutor is indeed a good student," Qin Peng sighed, "Master Hua has passed away for many years, but he is still willing to speak for him."

After hearing this, the Grand Tutor didn't dare to say anything more. His face was frozen, and he was in a dilemma.

After Hua Zongqing wrote the article, it was criticized word by word, and he committed suicide that night. Common people thought Hua Zongqing committed suicide, but as Hua Zongqing's student, Taifu knew clearly that his teacher died to avoid disaster. If he had not committed suicide, the article would have been investigated, and as Hua Zongqing's student, his career would have been ruined.

Hua Zongqing also knew about this, so he committed suicide early. The case was closed.

Now, so many years have passed, people in the court have come and gone, and no one has forgotten about it. But he didn't expect that the princess knew so much about it and hit his soft spot when she spoke.

"Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of any kind..."

Qin Peng smiled and looked at the Grand Tutor: "Grand Tutor, do you think this is right?"

"Of course... that's not right."

It was difficult for the Taifu to speak.

Qin Peng continued, "Yes, according to human ethics, the ruler is the ruler, the minister is the minister, the father is the father, and the son is the son. If they are born the same, then why is Your Majesty Your Majesty? Is that right, Master?"

"yes……"

Although the Grand Tutor didn't understand what Qin Peng was going to do, he was already in danger. He had a feeling that something was wrong, and cold sweat ran down his head. After hearing what the Grand Tutor said, Qin Peng threw the file in his hand and said, "Since you understand this, who gave you the courage to attack His Majesty?!"

As he spoke, Qin Peng shouted angrily: "Have you really forgotten your duty as a minister just because you are your Taifu?! I am afraid that you have learned the essence of Lord Hua and have been lurking for many years, and you are planning to write another "Royal Gift"?!"

"I dare not!"

After a series of soft and hard tactics, the tutor was already in a panic.

At this time, he did not dare to disobey at all. The matter of Huaqing Sect was hanging over his head, like a sword that could be cut down at any time. He did not dare to say anything more. Any excuse he made could be said by Qin Peng to be his defense of Huaqing Sect. Now, whatever he said was wrong.

It was always like this when arguing. The reason was not important, but the position was the most important. Qin Peng first stood on the high ground. No matter how the Taifu explained it, no matter what the truth was, being a disciple of Huaqing Sect was the Taifu's original sin. And the Confucianism that the Taifu insisted on as the state religion was the Taifu's shackles.

The Grand Tutor was sweating profusely on the ground, but Qin Peng regained his composure, looked at Qin Shuhuai with a smile and said, "Prince Regent."

"Hmm?" Qin Shuhuai looked confused, looking down at the memorial in his hand, as if he didn't care about what happened just now. Qin Peng snorted in his heart, thinking that Qin Shuhuai was really a hypocrite. He had obviously listened to everything with his ears erected, but still pretended to be "I don't care, I don't care".

But since Qin Shuhuai wanted to pretend, she could only pretend and continued, "I think that the Grand Tutor is too old to be a Grand Tutor anymore. What do you think?"

Qin Shuhuai said nothing, but raised his eyes to look at Qin Peng. The Grand Tutor said hurriedly, "I resign! I am old and confused, and I am not fit to be the Grand Tutor anymore. I beg the Prince Regent and the Princess to grant my permission. I resign and return home!"

As the Grand Tutor spoke, he kowtowed loudly.

He was afraid of Qin Peng's words. The Huaqing Sect committed suicide overnight, which shows how serious the matter is. The Grand Tutor knew that with Qin Peng's personality, this handle was in her hands. Even if Qin Shuhuai protected him today, he would die in this matter sooner or later.

"Master, stop."

Qin Shuhuai raised his eyes and looked at the tutor, who then stopped moving, knelt on the ground, his eyes red.

Qin Peng couldn't bear to watch this, so he waited quietly for Qin Shuhuai to see what he would say.

Unexpectedly, Qin Shuhuai said: "The Grand Tutor is indeed old, and it is time for him to take care of his old age. However, I am very confused about one thing."

As he spoke, Qin Shuhuai raised his eyes, his eyes calm and thoughtful: "Few people knew about Lord Hua's suicide, and only a few people read the articles he wrote. The original works were taken away by the Northern Yan royal family and stored in the Northern Yan library. The princess is only in her twenties and fifties now, and she not only knows the name of the article, but also clearly knows the content of the article..."

At this point, Qin Peng's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly became nervous. Then he heard Qin Shuhuai say, "I wonder where Your Highness saw this article. Could it be that the princess knows someone from Beiyan?"

Hit the snake at its most vulnerable part.

Qin Peng had the upper hand in Hua Zongqing's case just now, and suspected that the Grand Tutor wanted to put Hua Zongqing's theory into practice. Now Qin Shuhuai directly suspected that she had contact with Beiyan. Now Bai Zhi was behind her. If Qin Shuhuai could directly verify Bai Zhi's identity as Beiyan, Qin Peng would not be able to explain whether she was guilty or not.

How to win an argument?

Instead of reasoning with her or telling her whether what she did before was right or wrong, he immediately opened up a new battlefield and directly gave her a new charge.

If she was labeled as a spy of Beiyan by Qin Shuhuai, and it was said by a person with evil intentions, then it must be for the purpose of harming loyal people.

Qin Peng understood Qin Shuhuai's logic and wanted to applaud him.

But Qin Shuhuai stopped talking here, and did not point out Bai Zhi's identity. In fact, he did not want to dwell on this matter. He let her go, and she let the master go.

Qin Peng looked at Qin Shuhuai with a smile, and said slowly: "I saw it from a teacher before, but I was young at that time, so I may have misunderstood it. It may also be that I misunderstood the master."

Qin Shuhuai nodded, and the Grand Tutor heaved a sigh of relief. However, to everyone's surprise, Qin Shuhuai continued, "However, the Grand Tutor is indeed old now. In the near future, please ask the Grand Tutor to teach Your Majesty for a while. When you find a suitable person, you can ask the Grand Tutor to return home to spend the rest of his life?"

As he spoke, Qin Shuhuai raised his eyes and looked at the Grand Tutor, his expression calm: "What do you think, Grand Tutor?"

The Grand Tutor was stunned for a moment. He stared at Qin Shuhuai blankly. The other's eyes seemed to contain thousands of words. He slowly said: "Don't worry, Grand Tutor. As long as I, Qin Shuhuai, am here, I will ensure that you have the respect you deserve."

Hearing this, the tutor's eyes turned red.

The reason why he has insisted on staying in the court until now is not because of any sentimental dreams, but because there are some positions that once you get to them, you cannot step down, and if you step down, you will be doomed.

He understood what Qin Shuhuai meant. Qin Peng had set his sights on him and he had too many handles on him. If he continued to stay, and if Qin Peng was a cruel person, he would probably not have a good ending.

Now letting him push it down is the greatest protection.

The Grand Tutor kowtowed in gratitude. Qin Peng curled her lips. She had always admired Qin Shuhuai's way of winning people's hearts.

After Qin Shuhuai had the tutor pushed down, they were the only two people left in the room. Qin Peng hugged the heater and said with a smile, "Does the prince have anyone in mind for the position of tutor?"

"It seems that the princess has a candidate in mind." Qin Shuhuai looked up at her, and Qin Peng smiled: "I do have a candidate, but I don't know if the prince is willing?"

"If it's appropriate, then you should take the role. This is not my decision."

Qin Shuhuai put the cup in the servant's hand, and Lu You pushed Qin Shuhuai away. Qin Shuhuai took a few steps and suddenly turned back: "Your Highness, you're not leaving?"

"Um?"

"I'll take you back."

Qin Peng: “…”

There must be a ghost!

But since Qin Shuhuai had invited her, she was naturally not afraid, and she followed Qin Shuhuai with Bai Zhi. Qin Shuhuai looked at Qin Peng walking, raised his hand to stop Lu You, and said to Qin Peng: "You push."

"What?"

Qin Peng was stunned, and so was Lu You. Qin Shuhuai looked at Qin Peng and repeated, "You push."

"Why?" Qin Peng couldn't understand what Qin Shuhuai was thinking. Qin Shuhuai's face was calm, and he said calmly: "How did my leg break?"

Qin Peng: “…”

For some reason, she felt guilty and whispered, "I'll push it..."

As she spoke, she pushed Lu You away, and Lu You was caught off guard and was pushed away by her. She put her hands on the wheelchair, bent her waist, covered Qin Shuhuai's ear, and whispered: "Prince, you have to sit still."

"Do you still want the antidote?"

Qin Shuhuai spoke just before she was about to retaliate. Qin Peng froze in her tracks, then she remembered that she had asked Qin Shuhuai to feed her medicine. She gritted her teeth and forced a smile: "Prince, please sit down and be comfortable. I am pushing very steadily."

Qin Shuhuai turned his back to her, with a slight smile on his face, and said nothing.

Qin Peng cursed him in his heart and pushed him forward. The people around him noticed what was happening and kept a distance from them.

The weather was very good that day, with a gentle breeze and a beautiful sun. Qin Shuhuai looked into the distance and said calmly, "It won't be long before the weather warms up."

Qin Peng did not answer. She was always on guard against Qin Shuhuai, thinking that he would definitely cause trouble for her. Qin Shuhuai, however, was talking about something irrelevant, and said slowly: "Spring comes late in Beiyan. It will take another two months for the weather to warm up."

Not just two months?

Qin Peng hummed inwardly, thinking that the winter in Beiyan was late. However, before she finished thinking, Qin Shuhuai said, "I remembered it wrongly. It's not that spring came early, but that she always brought me charcoal."

Qin Peng was a little confused. After thinking about it, he realized that Qin Shuhuai was talking about the time she brought him charcoal in winter.

The charcoal in the Northern Yan Palace was divided into grades, and a hostage like Qin Shuhuai had almost no charcoal money. And the charcoal money was distributed in early spring every year, so Qin Peng used the charcoal from the previous year first, and when the charcoal money was distributed, he would send some to Qin Shuhuai.

If Qin Shuhuai hadn't told her, she wouldn't have remembered that she had been so nice to him.

Qin Peng felt dissatisfied when he thought about how good he was to him in the past, and looked at Gong Dao standing next to him and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Qin Shuhuai seemed to think that it was meaningless to keep talking about the past with her, and asked: "Does Your Highness really think this way about Lord Hua's matter?"

"How do you think?"

"Lord Hua," Qin Shuhuai looked up at Qin Peng with a scrutinizing look in his eyes: "Does your Highness really think that he should die?"

Qin Peng didn't say anything. After a moment, she lowered her head and smiled: "Prince, do you know what I think a country should be like?"

"Well?"

"It should be that everyone can protect their most basic rights. One of a person's basic rights is that he can speak out, no matter what he says, he may not be right, but he cannot die because of it."

"Times are changing, and so are people. What you think is right today may be wrong tomorrow. What is right in this era may be wrong in the next. I don't know whether Mr. Hua is right or wrong."

"I just know that it is wrong to silence him or execute him just because his words are not in line with people's wishes."

Listening to Qin Peng's words, Qin Shuhuai lowered his eyes and said, "If I hadn't stopped you just now, would you have forced the Master to death?"

This statement is actually destined to get no real answer.

Qin Shuhuai understood that he and Qin Peng were political enemies, so how could Qin Peng give her a real answer?

However, he asked the question anyway, and when he asked it, he even felt vaguely that as long as this person said it, he would believe it.

Qin Peng smiled, with some sadness in his eyes: "If I say I can't, will Your Highness believe me?"

Qin Shuhuai didn't say anything. Qin Peng covered his mouth and laughed: "Just kidding, Qin Peng is just a villain. He can achieve his goal..."

"I believe it."

Qin Shuhuai spoke, seeming to be thinking deeply. Qin Peng was stunned, and Qin Shuhuai looked at her: "Although you are a villain, you can also be regarded as an open and honest villain."

"I know someone," Qin Shuhuai said with nostalgia in his eyes, "She is just like you, she looks vicious and cunning, but in fact, she is... more of a gentleman than many others, she has a lot more bottom lines."

“That’s someone you know.”

Qin Peng's face turned cold, and Qin Shuhuai continued: "You are also such a person."

Qin Peng stopped talking.

She didn't know why, but she felt sad.

She felt that Qin Shuhuai was a man who didn't like to talk much when he was young, but now that he was more reserved, he had learned how to poke holes in people's hearts.

Qin Shuhuai seemed to be aware of Qin Peng's mood. He calmed down, and the two of them walked forward quietly without any awkwardness, as if they were already used to it. Although they didn't speak, they seemed to be talking all the time.

Qin Peng pushed Qin Shuhuai onto the carriage, and Qin Shuhuai really did as he said and sent Qin Peng home.

When she arrived at the Wei Mansion, Qin Shuhuai said calmly: "You count the days. There are still twenty days left. You have to come to me to get the antidote."

"you!"

Qin Peng turned around suddenly, and Qin Shuhuai looked at her quietly. His eyes were cold and calm, which made Qin Peng deflate instantly.

She smiled reluctantly and waved her hand: "Your Highness, take care and don't bump into anything on the road. Your legs are completely useless, it's not good."

Qin Shuhuai curled up the corners of his mouth as he listened to her curse.

That smile seemed to see through her, and combined with his handsome face, it made her heart beat fast.

Qin Peng was bewitched by the beauty and was stunned for a moment. Qin Shuhuai lowered the curtain and walked away.

After the carriage left, Bai Zhi stood behind Qin Peng and stabbed him in the buttocks with a needle.

Qin Peng screamed and turned around and yelled, "Bai Zhi, are you crazy?!"

"I'm reminding you," Bai Zhi sneered, "There are so many women who have been deceived by his face. I'm afraid you will follow in their footsteps."

Qin Peng: “…”

Bai Zhi was right, she was almost there.

Bai Zhi looked at her guilty expression with murderous intent in her eyes and continued, "Besides, when I saw others thought he was good-looking, I felt disgusted and couldn't help wanting to stab her."

Qin Peng: “…”

Bai Zhi snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Qin Peng took a deep breath. She understood that a person as beautiful, intelligent and perfect as her would inevitably cause a large number of people to become abnormal after her death, such as Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi must have become abnormal because he lost her.

The little girl who used to be so gentle, lovely, smart and clever has now become so vicious, stabbing without mercy.

Qin Peng wanted to cover her butt, but she thought it was too ugly to walk with her butt covered. She gritted her teeth and insisted on walking up with her waist twisted. She looked at Bai Zhi's cold expression and suddenly remembered something.

"Bai Zhi."

"Um?"

"You won't like Qin Shuhuai..."

Before she could finish her words, Bai Zhi drew her sword.

Qin Peng took a breath of cool air and raised his hand quickly: "I was joking."

"Don't joke like that," Bai Zhi's eyes were full of coldness: "I'm disgusted."

"Okay, okay."

Qin Peng nodded desperately, and Bai Zhi put away the sword. Qin Peng leaned against the wall, and seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she covered her butt that had hit the wall.

After a while, she twisted her body and chased after her, grabbed Bai Zhi's shoulders and looked at her seriously.

"Bai Zhi, I want to ask you something seriously."

"Um?"

"Would you do this to Zhao Peng?"

Bai Zhi was stunned. She didn't expect her to ask this. Qin Peng swallowed his saliva and mustered up a lot of courage. He said to Bai Zhi carefully, "If...if Zhao Peng is still alive and she appears in front of you, what will you do?"

Bai Zhi thought about it seriously, and then she told Qin Peng very seriously.

"I'll kill her alive."

Qin Peng was stunned. Bai Zhi pushed her away and turned away.

She shrank her neck and thought it would be better not to tell Bai Zhi.

After all, Baizhi has always been a person of his word, since he was young.

Bai Zhi went back to her room, and Qin Peng went back to his room. When Bai Zhi came to her at night, she threw a lot of files at her and said, "I have found some suitable candidates for the position of Taifu for you. You should have a good idea."

Qin Peng looked down at the file and asked, "What criteria did you use to select the person?"

"He has a grudge against Qin Shuhuai."

Qin Peng: “…”

She thinks her organization should be called the Avengers.

A second before she opened her mouth, Bai Zhi knew what she meant and continued, "Of course, their talents, backgrounds, and official ranks are all quite matched."

Qin Peng nodded, thinking that this was appropriate.

Qin Peng went to the morning court the next day.

Now that the court had finally settled down, this day became the first proper morning court session in the entire country. The symbol was that the Princess Qin Peng of Zhenguo finally came to the court.

Qin Ming sat in the front, and Qin Peng set up a curtain next to him, looking at everyone through the curtain. Qin Shuhuai sat opposite Qin Peng calmly.

Qin Shuhuai should stand up, but his legs were broken, so he could only take this privilege. However, after receiving this privilege, Qin Peng felt that Qin Shuhuai might never be able to stand up again in his life.

At least he couldn't stand up in the court.

The court first reported the situation in various places, and then began to talk about the issues of today's dispute. Qin Peng was attending court on his first day, so he listened quietly and didn't say much. Qin Ming sat on the throne like a puppet, nervous and motionless.

After discussing all the important matters, the Grand Tutor stood up and tendered his resignation.

Qin Shuhuai asked someone to present the resignation and said calmly, "The Grand Tutor is old and it is indeed time for him to enjoy his grandchildren. But I wonder if the Grand Tutor has any suggestions for my position after he leaves?"

"I do have a candidate." The Grand Tutor immediately answered, and Qin Peng couldn't help but sneer. The Grand Tutor was Qin Shuhuai's man, so the person he recommended was naturally Qin Shuhuai's man. Qin Peng twisted his body, leaned on the armrest, and listened quietly to the Grand Tutor calling out a person's name: "Liu Shuyan."

Qin Peng was quite surprised to hear this person.

Liu Shuyan is now the commander-in-chief of the South City Army. His Liu family has always done things according to the rules.

In other words, the Liu family never got involved in any struggles, and they obeyed whoever was the emperor.

However, now Qin Shuhuai mentioned Liu Shuyan. Could it be that Liu Shuyan is his man?

Qin Peng couldn't sit still when he thought that Liu Shuyan was Qin Shuhuai's man.

Now, Qin Shuhuai has gradually withdrawn his troops at Zhang Ying's request, and Wei Yan has also withdrawn his troops. The Imperial Guards are Zhang Ying's people. If the South City Army is Qin Shuhuai's people, it means that her Wei family now has no troops in Xuanjing at all.

Qin Peng was thinking about the relationship between Liu Shuyan and Qin Shuhuai. At this time, Qin Shuhuai asked everyone, "What do you think?"

"I think," Zhang Ying, who had been standing aside, spoke up at this time, attracting everyone's attention. Zhang Ying said coldly, "It's inappropriate for Lord Liu to be a military commander!"

Qin Shuhuai nodded, and didn't seem to want to get involved too much: "What do the other adults think?"

After asking this question, the court started to discuss it. Zhang Ying's people and Qin Shuhuai's people were arguing with each other, and they were arguing about Liu Shuyan. Qin Shuhuai listened calmly, as if he didn't care at all. Qin Peng was thinking about it. After arguing for a while, Zhang Ying suddenly said, "Ministers, stop arguing. Why don't you ask the eldest princess what she thinks?"

Having said that, Zhang Ying looked at Qin Peng.

Zhang Ying's eyes were filled with warning, and he slowly said to Qin Peng: "Your Highness, Princess, I have served in the court for three dynasties..."

"If you have something to say, please speak up," Qin Shuhuai interrupted him, looking up at Zhang Ying: "Everyone knows that Zhang Ge Lao Sandi has worked hard and made great contributions. There is no need to emphasize this to the princess."

Qin Peng almost laughed out loud after hearing what Qin Shuhuai said.

Qin Shuhuai is always rude when it comes to criticizing others, but he is generally not too aggressive with others. It can be seen that Zhang Ying really annoys Qin Shuhuai.

Zhang Ying was somewhat embarrassed by Qin Shuhuai, who tilted his head slightly: "Your Highness?"

"I think," Qin Peng came back to his senses, coughed lightly and said, "Since we can't decide, why don't we hold a competition?"

"Ring?"

Zhang Ying frowned, not seeming very satisfied. Qin Peng smiled and said, "Since it is to be the Grand Tutor of Your Majesty, it is natural to choose a virtuous and capable person. Why not let Zhang Gelao, the Regent Prince and this palace each choose one person, and the three of them set up a competition. Whoever can get the first chip will be the Grand Tutor. How do you think?"

There was a moment of silence, and everyone pondered for a while. Qin Peng looked at Qin Shuhuai: "Prince?"

"The King has no objection."

"Mr. Zhang Ge?"

"This..." Zhang Ge Lao hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "I wonder if the princess has anyone in mind?"

Qin Peng thought about it, and the person Bai Zhi gave her last night flashed through his mind. Finally, he decided on one: "Hanlin Academy Editor, Wang Ke."

Zhang Ying felt relieved after hearing the name. He was not a capable person, so he naturally felt very safe, so he nodded and said, "That's a good idea, let's do it this way."

So the matter was settled. After the court session, Qin Peng happily prepared to go back to eat cakes. After taking a few steps, he heard an unfriendly voice behind him: "Princess, please stay."

Qin Peng recognized Zhang Ying's voice. She turned around and saw the old man walking towards her.

Qin Peng felt that the other person's eyes were not friendly, so she stood there with a smile on her face and said to Zhang Ying, "Master Zhang."

"Princess," the other party looked away, clasped his hands in his sleeves, and said coldly, "I came all the way to see you because I want to talk to you about a few things."

"You say."

Qin Peng leaned against the wall with a smile on his face. Zhang Ying said slowly, "I am a little older than the princess. People say that people are free from doubts at the age of forty and understand the will of heaven at the age of fifty. I dare not say that I know too much, but I can still teach the princess a thing or two. What I said today is from the heart. It is all for the princess's future. I hope the princess can remember it."

"First, as a woman, you should be a woman of virtue, voice and appearance. I heard that the princess remained a widow for ten years for the general, and I admired her very much. I have also met the princess, and she was a role model for women at that time. The princess should continue to behave as usual in the future, and there is no need to make any other changes just because she becomes the eldest princess of the state. For example, at this moment, there is a way to stand, but the princess stands like this, has she lost her bones?!"

After hearing this, Qin Peng coughed lightly, stood up, raised his hand and said, "Please continue."

"Secondly, although you are the eldest princess of the country, this is nothing more than the Queen Mother's love for you. But the princess must always remember that a hen crowing at dawn will damage the country's fortune. Women are shallow in knowledge. If they handle state affairs, I am afraid it will bring disaster to the country. In the future, please be careful with your words in the court."

Qin Peng didn't say anything. After thinking for a moment, she looked up and said, "I understand. Zhang Ge always thinks that I didn't listen to you today?"

"You didn't say what you should have said!"

Zhang Ying said coldly: "Qin Shuhuai has ulterior motives, Your Highness. Zhang Ying is loyal to the late emperor. Qin Shuhuai is the son of Emperor Jing and has evil intentions. Princess, you should know which side you are on."

"But," Qin Peng smiled, "Master Zhang said that a hen crowing at dawn will damage the fate of the country. I am just a woman, how can I take sides? I just said whatever I wanted to say."

"Then don't say anything!" Zhang Ying never thought Qin Peng had the guts to contradict her like this. She raised her hand and said, "Fourth Princess, you may have forgotten who is protecting you..."

"Who is protecting her?"

Qin Shuhuai's voice came from behind Zhang Ying. Zhang Ying turned around and Qin Peng saw Qin Shuhuai sitting in a wheelchair at the end of the corridor.

He was still wearing a purple official robe with a silver python pattern, a jade crown on his head, a white cloak on the outside, and holding a heating stove in his hands.

The sunlight shining on him made him look as if he was shrouded in a halo. He looked like a fallen immortal, extremely beautiful.

Zhang Ying's face suddenly became a little ugly, but Qin Shuhuai ignored him, looked up at Qin Peng, and said calmly: "Your Highness, come to me."

Qin Peng wanted to refuse.

However, Qin Shuhuai looked so good that she couldn't refuse.

The most important thing is that at this moment, she wants to do anything that can make Zhang Ying angry to death! Even if it makes Qin Shuhuai proud.

People like Zhang Ying who are old-fashioned are the most disgusting existence in Qin Peng's life.

So Qin Peng deliberately twisted his waist as seductively as possible, and twisted past Zhang Ying. Zhang Ying's face turned very ugly, but Qin Shuhuai's face was calm. When Qin Peng walked to his side, he said to Zhang Ying: "She is the eldest princess of Zhenguo. She has the emperor to protect her. Who else does she need to protect her?"

Zhang Ying didn't say anything, Qin Shuhuai raised his lips and said, "As long as she is a princess, as a subject, I should do my best to protect her. This is what I do, and so is Zhang Gelao, right?"

"Your Majesty is in a serious condition." Zhang Ying always felt uncomfortable facing Qin Shuhuai. He turned around and said, "This old minister has something to do. I will take my leave now."

After saying that, Zhang Ying turned and walked away. When he was far away, Qin Peng, who was leaning on the wheelchair, looked down at Qin Shuhuai and praised him: "Qin Shuhuai, you look very handsome today."

Qin Shuhuai raised his eyes and said coldly: "Stand up."

Qin Peng snorted coldly and turned away.

Qin Shuhuai called her: "Stop."

"What?"

Qin Peng turned his head, very dissatisfied.

"Walk carefully."

Qin Peng: “…”

What is the difference between this person and Zhang Ying!

Oh, he's more handsome.

But this couldn't stop Qin Peng from being disgusted with his behavior. She rolled her eyes and said, "Didn't you just say that I'm the princess and you're the subject?"

"You believe me when I say this casually?"

Qin Peng: “…”

She suddenly felt that she had to change her attitude towards Qin Shuhuai. Six years had passed, and the man who used to blush when he spoke had now become a big talker.

She was afraid of the talkative Qin Shuhuai, so she decided to retreat!

She waved her hand, turned and left.

When she was far away, Jiang Chun pushed Qin Shuhuai back and said with a smile: "The prince seems to care about the princess?"

"Jiang Chun."

"Um?"

"Do you believe that people can be reincarnated?"

"Um?!!"

Jiang Chun was alert instantly, and he was a little scared. Qin Shuhuai had asked him this question before, and he ended up getting a bunch of witches to perform magic tricks at home, and also brought a lot of children to him to identify whether they were Qin Peng. In the end...

Qin Shuhuai was stabbed.

So Jiang Chun felt very scared about Qin Shuhuai's idea.

When he wanted to dissuade Qin Shuhuai, Qin Shuhuai suddenly said, "Forget it, it's impossible."

Jiang Chun breathed a sigh of relief, and Qin Shuhuai continued, "But when Bai Zhi stood behind her, I always felt that... they looked too much alike."

Qin Shuhuai leaned back in his chair, looking a little dazed: "It's like she's still alive, right next to me."

Jiang Chun didn't say anything, he felt a little uncomfortable.

He looked at Qin Shuhuai, who was in a daze holding the heater, and suddenly felt that Qin Peng's appearance might be a good thing.

"Sir," he couldn't help but speak, "why don't you marry the eldest princess? She looks so much like the lady, just treat her as the lady! You can't keep being stuck in your memories, you have to move forward and look forward. At least, you have to keep a little prince!"

After hearing this, Qin Shuhuai smiled.

His smile was full of nostalgia.

"Jiang Chun,"

"grown ups?"

"She'd be mad if she knew I mistook someone else for her."

"Zhao Peng is Zhao Peng. No matter how similar someone else is, he cannot be replaced."

"If you have ever loved someone, you will know that person is unique and shines brightly in your world, leaving no room for a second person."

Qin Peng left the palace happily. As soon as she walked out of the palace and got on the carriage, she saw Bai Zhi sitting inside waiting for her.

Qin Peng was startled and discussed with Bai Zhi: "Next time, can you please stop acting like an assassin and just be a good maid?"

"I heard that you chose Wang Ke to compete?"

Bai Zhi drank tea, acting more like a master than her master. Qin Peng sat opposite Bai Zhi, poured himself some tea from the table, and nodded, "Well, isn't that right?"

"No, it's a good fit." Bai Zhi nodded: "But I'm a little confused, why did Qin Shuhuai choose Liu Shuyan?"

Qin Peng was also confused about this question. After thinking about it, she decided to find Lu You.

Qin Peng waited for two days, and it was the fifth day of the month. She and Lu You made an appointment to wait for him in that restaurant on the fifth day of every month.

Qin Peng entered the restaurant early and left a mark for Lu You on the willow tree. Not long after, Lu You came. Qin Peng was lying on the couch, with one hand supporting his head and the other hand on his body, dozing off.

Lu You came in and bowed to Qin Peng when he saw him. Qin Peng came alone and there were only two of them in the room. Lu You respectfully stepped aside, lowered his head, and did not dare to look at Qin Peng.

In the past, Jiang Yi was already considered beautiful, but now Qin Peng's appearance made her an even more stunningly stunning top beauty.

Qin Peng, on the other hand, is like a fox demon with painted skin, possessing an extremely beautiful appearance and a charm that comes from deep within, making it easy for men to not dare to look directly at her, for fear of taking away their souls.

"I have something to ask you."

Qin Peng spoke directly, and Lu You lowered his head: "Miss, what do you want to ask?"

"What is the relationship between Liu Shuyan and Qin Shuhuai?"
