As soon as Jiang's sister-in-law said "Oh", Jiang Pingting had already disappeared in the crowd.

The Crown Princess stepped back from the Queen and took a long breath in front of the young hall director before she relaxed. In fact, the Queen didn't make any trouble today, but she seemed to have a shadow in her heart. She felt uncomfortable whenever she was around the Queen.

She found a few ladies in this small hall and talked to them. They were very friendly and talked and laughed. After a long time of socializing, she went to the bathroom, washed her hands and put on makeup, and came back to sit and drink some tea.

Jiang Pingting came in: "My queen!"

The Crown Princess was a little surprised when she saw Jiang Pingting's expression: "Pingting, what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty. Today, the Crown Prince's Consort repeatedly wanted Pingting to go to some secluded corners. When she failed to invite her in the name of someone else, she just gave the order directly!"

The Crown Princess looked calm: "Oh? Then tell me, why did she do that?"

"I guess the Crown Princess has discovered that Pingting's period is coming too late..." Pingting's eyes were clear and straight, and so was her attitude.

The Crown Princess raised her eyebrows: "Oh? You are pregnant?"

"It's just the date, so it's not too late. So I didn't ask the doctor to diagnose it. Pingting doesn't know."

"I understand. You don't look well. If you are afraid of being tired, I will arrange a place for you to rest."

"Thank you for your consideration, madam. It's not necessary. Pingting is a little irritable and wants to walk around the courtyard."

"That's fine! Don't get too tired, and don't catch a cold."

"Yes." Jiang Pingting went out.

"Call her to me!" The Crown Princess still spoke slowly and did not seem angry.

Xue Ying had been fighting with Concubine Jiang these days because she felt that the Crown Prince treated Jiang Pingting differently from everyone else! Although Jiang Pingting's closest friends were all Jiang's family servants, she had been in the East Palace for so many years, and she also had her aunt... There wasn't much she didn't know.

She had recorded Jiang Pingting's menstrual period: it would come two days in advance, very accurate. If it didn't come, it would be bad news! She knew that today was not the right day, but there was also an advantage, which was... no one knew about it yet! Even Jiang Pingting didn't mention it in her room...

It’s better to strike first.

Even if there are some minor mistakes, it won't matter as long as my aunt is here! As a result, after looking for someone twice, no one showed up, so the female official next to the Crown Princess came instead...

She went in listlessly.

The Crown Princess came up and slapped Xue Ying in the face.

Xue Ying was shocked: "Aunt?!" She covered her face subconsciously.

"You should call me the Crown Princess! Idiot!" The Crown Princess's brows were fierce, and she ordered the female official: "Let her stay here and don't let her go anywhere! I'll settle the score with you later!"

…

Today is also the day for men from high-ranking families in the capital, aged between fifteen or sixteen and twenty-five or twenty-six, to gather.

There were hundreds of people coming.

After becoming a civil servant, most of them are here to take the imperial examinations. They dress elegantly and talk sour nonsense together.

The children of meritorious families were dressed luxuriously and looked very impressive. Some of them were already regular military officers. There were also second- and third-generation ancestors who held idle positions, like Jin Zi. They formed their own faction and played together.

These people and the descendants of the civil servants dislike each other.

When Qi Yue arrived in the capital, he became famous because he looked like Qi Wu.

In addition, his grandfather supported him and was generous. And he seemed to be much easier to get close to than Qi Wuke...

He went to brothels and casinos, watched plays and listened to music, cruised the lake, drank, rode horses and played ball. In a short period of time, he made dozens of friends who came from very good families.

I can’t even schedule all the social engagements every day.

Moreover, he feels like a boss who can command the support of everyone.

Qi Yue also felt very refreshed! Now the people around him all behaved like young masters from aristocratic families.

Not only are they born well, well-dressed, spend money lavishly, and have outstanding style, but they all have some talent!

At this moment, a group of people surrounded him, talking about the bets they had just placed, shouting and yelling, extremely excited.

In the midst of the excitement, Jinzi sneaked over stealthily.

When someone saw him, they asked, "Brother Jinzi, how is your eldest son?"

Jin Zi was very proud: "Hey, his mother spoiled him and made him recite books every day. I told her not to take him to watch polo, but she wouldn't allow it. I'm afraid he'll become a gigolo!"

Everyone laughed.

Someone immediately told Qi Yue the whole story from beginning to end. Qi Yue couldn't believe it. "Is there such a thing?"

Someone else asked, "Jin Zi, why are you hiding so much today? Whose wife did you steal and the victim found out? Is she looking for you to settle the score?"

Haha, everyone around laughed again! Jinzi went over and kicked the man, but the man just patted the dirt and didn't care.

"Yeah, what's wrong, Jinzi? You keep looking back. Who are you looking out for?"

"Don't mention it, Duanmu, the King of Hell, is back..."

When the people present heard this, the smiles on their faces immediately disappeared. "Really? I haven't heard of it!"

Some people were still able to maintain a smile: "Why are you afraid of him? Now we are not interfering with each other. He will leave in a few days...right?"

Qi Yue was so damn curious: "Who are you talking about?"

"Alas, this is the nightmare of all of us..."

"Princess Huiduan's only son."

"Why are you so afraid of him?"

"It's hard to describe. He is a devil. Jin Zi knows it best..."

Jin Zi smiled bitterly, "I don't care about you, I really admire you!"

When we mentioned Jin Zi before, he was just a fool, who was always eating, drinking and whoring, and everyone looked down on him. But he was also raised with the education of a son of an aristocratic family.

Children from families like this in the capital have special places to go to school.

There are courses like the Four Books and Five Classics, horse riding, archery, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Only families like theirs can afford to study these.

Although Jin Zi had a strange mind and was a fool, he was not completely incompetent. He could ride a horse, shoot arrows, wrestle, and fight.

Moreover, there is nothing he is afraid of and the sins he has committed are countless.

Duanmu Hui is younger than Jinzi. When he first came to school, Jinzi had already won one fight after another and was the big brother among these people.

School bullying is also something that Jinzi's subordinates often do.

Princess Huiduan is quite famous in the capital, and there are very few people like her who can decide her own marriage.

Moreover, she married down from her parents' family! Moreover, the Duanmu Tanhua Lang had passed away due to illness.

Therefore, Jinzi felt displeased with Duanmu, a freshman, and wanted to bully him for no reason.

Unexpectedly, Duanmu was smaller than him, but he was strong-willed, daring to strike, ruthless, and unwilling to admit defeat.

He refused to accept, but Jin Zi accepted? Are you kidding!

This fight... almost resulted in several fatalities.

As Duanmu grew older and gained more combat experience, Jinzi became less able to withstand the blows and was hit on the head, had his arms broken and his eyes almost blinded by Duanmu.

In the end, he defeated Jinzi and snatched his position as the boss.

Moreover, Duanmu had become addicted to playing, and this place could no longer accommodate him. He took a group of his younger brothers out to play…watch operas, drink wine in brothels, and gamble.

A bunch of little brats are trying to snatch the flower girl from someone else, they don't intend to do anything, just to make others unhappy.

In the casino, they often go to the trouble of playing and then destroy the place. There are people behind the casino, and if there is a gangster background, several people have been killed.

Finally, the city defense and the Dali Temple were all alarmed. Finally, even the emperor got anxious and dragged him away.

As a result, Duanmu Hui insisted that he was not wrong, but he would accept it if the emperor wanted to chop off his head. Moreover, he said that he was protecting the capital for the emperor! The emperor waved his hand and beat him with 20 sticks. He begged loudly, but smiled all the time. When the emperor heard about it, he was so angry that he almost chopped him off.

Princess Huiduan had no choice but to send her son away.

The capital city suddenly became quiet, which made everyone feel strange.

"Once he left, he didn't come back for several years. What is he doing back this time?"

"Haven't you heard?" someone tried to hold back a laugh.

Jin Zi nervously put his finger to his mouth and shushed him, "Stop talking! I'll let him hear it later... It'll be troublesome."

"Jin Zi! It seems that you are really scared!"

"Tsk! If you don't agree, come up! If anyone here dares to challenge him, I'll give you my new mastiff! That's a good one, you don't know what fear is when you fight!"

Qi Yue laughed sarcastically. He was not convinced, but it was not his place to take the lead.

"Qi Yue, your fifth brother was in the limelight last year!" Jin Zi was extremely envious. "Afterwards, I heard that many women were asking about him. This year, you should also be able to take part. Being in the limelight, hehe, what kind of feeling..."

Qi Yue didn't want to hear about this topic, so he asked: "Let's talk about Duanmu next. What is he like?"

Someone pointed, “There it is, look!”

I saw a man sitting there in a very dignified manner, surrounded by dozens of people, some of whom were serving him tea and water.

Whatever he said, people around him would burst into laughter, even if it wasn't funny.

It’s very much like myself in the Northwest.

But the people around him were all country bumpkins, and here were the children of the Beijing family! He began to feel itchy...

"Jinzi, didn't you and Duanmu become good friends later on? Why are you still afraid of him?" someone asked Jinzi again.

"I'm not afraid, I'm just a little scared..."

Everyone laughed in contempt again, and Jin Zi said proudly: "After all, I am a father now. It would be embarrassing if he beat me up again!"

Qi Yue was unwilling to give up, and asked the people next to him, "What were you guys so mysterious about just now? What happened to him coming back?"

Finally, a know-it-all answered, "His father died many years ago, and the princess wants to remarry."

When Qi Yue heard this, her face was full of sarcasm: "How could such a thing happen?! How old is she, and she still wants to remarry?"

Someone nearby quickly said, "Come on, this is someone else's business, let's not talk about it."

Jin Zi said, "It's true. The person you are going to marry may have some connection with Qi Yue."

Qi Yue blinked and said lightly: "Don't talk nonsense, it has nothing to do with me!"

Some people around turned pale.

Jin Zi was quite bold at this moment: "The man he is going to marry is Qi Wu's wife's second uncle from her mother's family."

"What?" Qi Yue laughed again after hearing this, "This is so funny! A lot of new things have happened in the Wen family. I don't know where Qi Wu got such a marriage from. Look how messed up it is!" He had a sarcastic look on his face.

After listening to this, Jinzi suddenly ended the topic, joked a few words, and left in a flash.

After a while, suddenly: "Who is Qi Yue?" a lazy voice came.

Qi Yue and his group turned their heads and saw that several of them immediately stood up and smiled: "Brother Duanmu, when did you come back?"

"Yeah! How come I haven't heard of it?"

Duanmu ignored them, searched among them, and his eyes fell on Qi Yue.

That look was very presumptuous.

Who is Qi Yue afraid of? He is powerful, so I am afraid? "I am not talented, I am the inferior!" Qi Yue's mouth curled slightly, showing his usual arrogant and sarcastic look.

A figure flashed by and he was hit in the face.

Good morning!

Today the main focus is on fighting.
