At this time, the sunshine was just right, and it had not yet reached the time for the banquet. In the garden of the Yuwen Mansion, in the corridors, everywhere were young nobles from all over the world.

  The King of Lanling glanced at the Zhou people who were looking at him, furrowed his brow and said in a low voice: "Don't touch anything from the Yuwen Mansion."

  She had really offended Yuwen Cheng badly, at this moment when she arrived at his home, it's better to be more careful.

  Zhang Qi nodded.

  Listening to her soft response, the King of Lanling lowered his head. He stretched out his hand and stroked her scattered black hair, "Just now, you were great." From then on, Zhang Gui rarely tied up her hair after feeling that the King of Lanling liked touching it.

  He knew she was clever, but didn't think she was this clever. In such a short time, she had already judged that she herself had been insulted by Yuwen Cheng and couldn't take it lightly, and also knew that her husband, who was good at military battles, wasn't skilled in verbal disputes like those corrupt scholars.

  He originally thought that she would be humiliated and retreat, but unexpectedly, she stood up straight and with a few light words, made Yuwen Cheng feel ashamed.

  This girl, gentle and soft in front of herself, but when facing the strong, she never backs down, instead standing tall with elegance and poise. Making anyone dare not underestimate her!

  Receiving his praise, Zhang Qi's eyes narrowed with joy. She softly and gently called out: "Really?" Her joyful voice was as sweet as honey, as if getting his approval was more important than anything else, making her feel even more delighted.

  At this moment, a black armored guard walked up and whispered a few words into Langling Wang's ear.

  Listening, the King of Lanling furrowed his brow and instructed the black-armored guard: "Assign a few men to take care of her." After saying that, he turned around and walked away with big strides.

  As soon as King Lanling left, several black-clad guards walked over. However, they were not closely following Zhang Gui, but rather scattered and standing ten steps away in the woods.

  Zhang Qi glanced at them and saw that they were calm and collected, so she spread out around herself. It seemed that no matter what sudden situation arose, they would be able to cope.

  With a sigh of relief, Zhang Yi, who had rarely been free, strolled into the garden in front of her.

  In the garden. Originally, it was a place where people came and went, but Zhang Gui's presence made everyone look over frequently. It was because of those few black guards that people had second thoughts and didn't dare to follow him. Before long, Zhang Gui arrived at a relatively quiet place.

  Walking into a bamboo forest, Zhang Gui bent down and pulled at the hem of her skirt that was caught.

  At this time, she heard a boy's voice coming from across a bamboo forest, "Is it here?"

  "It's about time. Gorō, don't rush off like that. You can read that book every day, it won't hurt to take a break for one day." A young servant emerged from the side of the bamboo forest.

  Wu Lang's voice was a bit low. "Speak softer." The little servant replied, "Young Master doesn't need to worry, I've heard that the daughters of Da Zhangzai are all beauties, and Seventh Young Lady won't be an exception."

  "Isn't it worrisome? The daughter of ōtomo no Suke, with such a noble status, who knows if she has a haughty temperament. If I marry her, for the rest of my life, I won't be able to have another woman, not even carelessly."

  From here, Gorō's voice was clear and powerful, quite pleasant to listen to.

  That young fellow, upon hearing this, lowered his voice and complained: "With Wu Lang's family background, talent, and appearance, he can marry any legitimate daughter; why does he have to match with a concubine's daughter..."

  The master and servant drew closer together as they walked.

  As they were walking in her direction, Zhang Qi found it a bit strange. She turned around and saw four girls of similar age to hers about 100 paces away, walking towards her. Perhaps they had seen the black-armored guards scattered around Zhang Qi, as they slowed down their pace.

  He stirred up trouble for himself and let others watch the show.

  Zhang Qi turned around.

  She had just taken a step when she heard the voice of Wu Lang, clear and courteous, "Miss, you are..." Although he tried to control himself, his voice still carried a hint of tension.

  Zhang Qi turned around.

  That young man Wu Lang made a bow with both hands, his eyes fixed tightly on her. As soon as Zhang Qi's face appeared, in an instant, a flash of surprise accompanied by infatuation floated in the eyes of this handsome and elegant young scholar.

  At this time, a black armored guard walked towards her in big strides and said in a low voice: "The Duke is calling for you."

  Zhang Qi responded with a sound and hurriedly followed him outwards.

  Wulang gazed foolishly as Zhang Qi departed, and slowly a flush of red crept up to the tips of his ears.

  He watched Zhang Qi disappear from view, then turned to the young servant and said, "Let's go back." The servant responded with a sound, accompanying the youth as he went further and further away.

  Zhang Qi didn't know that she had unintentionally incurred a debt of love, and she quickly arrived on the main road, just in time to see Lang Ling Wang looking at her. Reflexively, she smiled sweetly and took small steps to run towards him.

  She ran in front of him and called out affectionately, "Chang Gong." After calling out to him, she hugged his arm, "Has your whatever brother arrived?"

  "Alright."

  At this time, the drums and music sounded together, and the banquet began.

  The banquet in the Yuwen Mansion was very lively and noisy, but all this liveliness had nothing to do with Zhang Gui. She quietly leaned against Langling Wang, not going anywhere or eating anything. During the banquet, several people asked her questions that contained attacks, but Zhang Gui lowered her head and endured them timidly, completely different from her previous boldness.

  Of course, this banquet is related to the face of Yuwen's mansion. At the banquet, they will not be able to do anything too excessive either.

  Before one knew it, the banquet was over.

  ########################################################################################

  After returning to the messenger's mansion, Zhang Qi felt extremely exhausted. After soaking in a warm bath, she threw herself onto the couch and didn't even know when King Lanling returned.

  Zhang Qi woke up again, outside the birds were chirping, and a red sun was hanging in the east.

  It's already the second day.

  She stretched out her hand to prop herself up, but instead touched a warm body. Turning her head to look, it was indeed the Prince of Lanling. He had his back to her and was sleeping soundly.

  Is he sleeping so late again today?

  Zhang Qi stretched out her hand. Just as she touched his shoulder, the King of Lanling flipped over and pressed her hand against his body. Looking at the King of Lanling facing her, Zhang Qi quietly withdrew her hand, originally pushing him away, and changed it to a caress.

  The eyebrows and eyes of the King of Lanling can only be described as beautiful, his skin is that kind of fair and delicate like jade that no amount of sun exposure can darken. From the peak of his eyebrows to the curve of his lips, every feature is flawless, every feature is dazzling.

  Now he is asleep. The lines on his face have completely faded away from the majesty and solemnity. Those slanted eyes, upturned lip lines, as if at any moment, with a flick of his eyelids, his eyes would sparkle, captivating people's souls.

  She really didn't know how he, with such a face, became so majestic and noble today.

  Unconsciously, Zhang Qi's fingers slipped into his lips...

  Suddenly. "Bang" a loud noise, someone broke in, accompanied by the sound of rapid footsteps. There was also a woman's soft and clear cry, "Xiaogui!"

  In the midst of shouting. A girl whirled into the bedroom like a whirlwind! The cheers had just fallen to the ground, and she was stunned in place, as if petrified.

  The King of Lanling slowly opened his eyes, spat out the small hand of Zhang Yi that he was holding, then picked up the quilt to cover her tightly, sat up straight and frowned as he looked over.

  As soon as he saw the person coming, his eyebrows relaxed a little, "Ayu? How did you come?"

  Ayao, with her delicate features and the snow-white skin unique to Xianbei girls, didn't hear Langling Wang's call at all. She widened her eyes, staring fixedly at Zhang Qi without blinking. In an instant, tears welled up in her eyes. "Xiao Guan, have you taken a concubine?"

  She was a bit dispirited, staring blankly at Zhang Qi, who had lowered her head, her raven hair covering her face, and spoke incoherently: "You took a concubine... how could you take a concubine?"

  The King of Lanling furrowed his brow and said in a deep voice: "A Yu, get out!" His tone was slightly heavy, "Wait outside for now!"

  Ayu was still in a daze, and when he shouted at her in a loud voice, she wrinkled her nose and tears rolled down her face. She turned around and walked out with heavy steps. As soon as the door closed, several girls in the courtyard chattered anxiously, asking Hou about what had happened.

  Zhang Qi raised her head. She lowered her head, quietly took the clothes and put them on. The words of Ah Yu's sorrow, with a tone of disbelief, still echoed in her ears... It was always like this, she was always like this, as if no matter how early she came, in other women's eyes, she was always superfluous, the third person inserted into others' emotions.

  But don't worry, she already has Gao Zhang Gong's promise, he promised her a way out, he will definitely give her a way out...

  Zhang Qi got out of bed barefoot and quietly put on her clothes without making a sound.

  At this time, Langling Wang's low voice came, "Give me my clothes."

  "Alright."

  Zhang Qi walked up to him and picked up his clothes for him to put on.

  In silence, she helped him put on his clothes and boots, then called out in a low voice: "Come in."

  "Yes."

  Several maids responded in unison and entered one after another, carrying washing utensils. Under their nimble hands, the two were quickly refreshed.

  The maids retreated, and Langling Wang took a step towards the door. After walking a few steps, he saw that Zhang Qi hadn't followed him, so he furrowed his brow and said, "What's wrong?"

  Zhang Qi lowered her eyebrows and smiled gently, asking: "Chang Gong, Ah Yu's surname is Zheng, right?"

  The King of Lanling turned his head back.

  He stared at her, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, "You don't need to mind these."

  Zhang Qi didn't calm down as usual, but instead asked again: "This Ayou, did he grow up with Chang Gong?" Judging from his expression, they must have been very close in the past.

  The King of Lanling replied nonchalantly: "Don't ask anymore, let's go."

  After a moment of silence, Zhang Qi replied: "Yes."

  She lowered her head and quickly followed Langling Wang for a few steps.

  As he stepped out of the door, Zhang Qi suddenly found that she was not as afraid as she had imagined. Yes, now that she had obtained Langling Wang's promise, she had a way out. She thought to herself, as long as she was hurt once, she could take the opportunity to leave.

  Yes, in the years to come, among the three countries of Qi, Zhou and Chen, only Chen was the safest. She had received the relocation expenses and personnel from Lanling Wang, so she returned to Chen, back to her hometown. Yes, by then, just darken her face a bit more, and it would be no problem to live out this life in peace.

  She had to put on a better show before that. If she was hurt, she had to look pitiful and pathetic. Also, for the Prince of Lanling, giving her money was nothing, but giving people was a problem. She had to make him willing to give her some elite troops, and also make those elite troops willing to follow her to Chen's place, she still had to work hard on it.

  Thinking of this, listening to the chirping voices of the women outside, Zhang Gui suddenly looked forward to it.
