Tu Qingyu could have dodged it, but Yu Jingyuan, who was beside her, also reached out and pulled her.
As long as she wanted, the cup of tea would never spill on her.
But if she dodged, how would Xu Ying continue her play?
So she leaned slightly to the side, and the tea spilled onto the hem of her skirt below her knees.
She was wearing light-colored clothes today, and the tea stains were very conspicuous on the light-colored satin.
For a moment, everyone's attention was focused on him.
"How did you become a servant?" Princess De'an, who was not far away, came over first. With a sullen face, she sent a sentence to the maid who had spilled the tea. "Drag her away and send her to the imperial palace."
"Princess, don't be angry. I am fine."
"What do you mean it's nothing serious? How could such a beautiful person like you get stained with such filth?"
The freshly brewed tea was actually not dirty, but De'an couldn't bear to see such a stain on the clothes of such a clean person.
At this time, a female official came over with someone, "Princess, please let me take Miss Tu downstairs to change her clothes first."
"No need, I will take her there myself." She had seen all the people who came today, and none of them could compare to the one in front of her.
It’s better not to choose this prince consort.
The female official's heart tightened, but she looked at the empress dowager with embarrassment. Then she approached Princess De'an and whispered, "Princess, today's banquet is called a flower viewing banquet, but in reality, the empress dowager is here to...do you think it would be best if you stayed?"
De'an also looked over there, and at that moment the empress dowager also looked over with concern.
She had always had a good relationship with the Queen Mother, and she understood that the Queen Mother was thoughtful of her. It would not be a good idea for her to leave the banquet just after it started.
At this time, Tu Qingyu also spoke up, "Princess, I will go by myself. You can stay here with the Queen Mother."
"Well... okay." The princess hesitated for a moment, then let go of her hand. "Then you can go as soon as possible."
"Um."
Yu Qi was a little worried about her. After all, nothing good had happened the several times Tu Qingyu had entered the palace.
Seeing the concern in her eyes, Tu Qingyu patted the back of her hand, telling her not to worry.
When she walked out of Jinhua Palace, the playboy who received the note also walked out at the same time.
Xu Ying quietly walked towards Pei Kangsheng.
Tu Qingyu used a trick to pull the little palace maid who was following him aside.
"Go, find someone to inform Pei Jian that someone here wants to harm me, and ask him to come quickly." Her tone was very matter-of-fact, and the palace maid who was held by her was stunned for a moment.
She was horrified. How could Miss Tu know that she was the adult's person?
Tu Qingyu pulled her and said, "Go quickly."
"yes."
The palace maid replied as she carefully backed away.
After she left, Tu Qingyu removed the illusion, and the female official walking in front did not notice that a palace maid was missing.
The female official's path was getting further and further off the track, and Tu Qingyu began to panic. "Sir... this doesn't seem to be the way to the palace where I need to change clothes?"
"Miss, you don't know." The female official said without turning around, "The palace where the ladies used to wash and dress is currently under renovation. Today, I will have to trouble you to walk a little further."
"I see."
Pei Jian moved quickly. Almost as soon as she was brought into a desolate palace and saw the playboy with dark eyes, everyone around her fell down except her.
She opened her eyes wide, as if she didn't understand what was going on here.
Pei Jian walked towards her with big strides, seemingly steady, but upon closer inspection, it was not difficult to see his panic.
He glanced up and down at the person in front of him, and seeing that she was fine, he spoke, "You followed me even though you knew there was a problem?"
He said this with gritted teeth.
Tu Qingyu looked indifferent. She grinned and said, "I have you, Uncle Pei."
"If I can't make it in time, you..."
He thought he had a good temper, but now he felt that he was irritated by the person in front of him.
If he hadn't cultivated his character over the years, he was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to control his temper.
Seeing that he was very angry, Tu Qingyu took a step forward, reached out his hand in a flattering manner, and patted him on the back.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. Actually, I am confident."
"Confidence? What confidence do you have?" The people her father gave her couldn't even be brought into the palace, so how could she be confident?
She lowered her head and said nothing. Pei Jian was angry again. Finally, considering that this was not a good place to talk, he took her away.
After arriving at a safe palace, he asked, "What do you think about this matter?"
"How?" Tu Qingyu looked up at him, "Of course, it's like giving someone a taste of their own medicine."
"You want Xu Ying and the people in there..."
"No, no, no." She shook her head. "Throw the people in there out, throw Xu Ying and Pei Kangsheng in, and then let the person inside report it."
She openly told the adoptive father how she was going to plot against his adopted son.
Pei Jian was indeed surprised, "You want to cancel the engagement?"
"Yeah." She nodded as if it was a matter of course. "Didn't father tell you? I've wanted to break off the engagement for a long time."
"Why?"
"Why? I just don't like Pei Kangsheng. I see that Uncle Pei doesn't like him either. What's there to like about a person like him?"
"Marriage is a serious matter, not something that can be settled simply by saying 'I like you'..."
"I won't!" She looked at him with a firm look in her eyes. "I used to think the same as you, but now I don't. If I didn't truly love someone, I would be fed up with them every day and would dislike everything about them. Even if I had mountains of gold and silver, I wouldn't be able to live like that."
These words were said very innocently, with the childishness that is unique to young girls.
If someone else said this to him, he would definitely say "stupid" in his heart.
But the one who said this was Tu Qingyu. When he saw the little girl's bright eyes, he wanted to find someone he loved to live with, not to mention wanting to find someone he loved, he even wanted to bring the stars in the sky to her.
Seeing Pei Jian lost in thought, she took another step forward, gently tugged at his sleeve, and looked at him eagerly, "Pei Jian, you will help me, right?"
Pei Jian's words lacked his usual arrogance and were more pitiful.
Pei Jian's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
He nodded slowly, "By the time you said it, someone had already made arrangements."
Just because Tu Qingyu can’t bring people around him into the palace doesn’t mean he can’t bring people around him in.
The people around him can get things done quickly with just a glance.
"Change your clothes first. I'll take you back to the banquet to avoid suspicion."
As he spoke, he glanced at the compartment in the hall and said, "It's already prepared inside."
Tu Qingyu immediately smiled happily and shook his sleeve, "Thank you, Uncle Pei..."
