The King of Lanling put the clean Zhang Gui on the ground, he had just picked up her clothes to dress her, Zhang Gui had already taken them with one hand, and spent the night in delight. Her face was pale and fragile, and the hand holding the clothes was a bit unsteady.

  The King of Lanling looked at her for a moment, then put on his own clothes. He walked behind her and watched as she struggled to bend down, slowly putting on her clothes.

  Even though the movement was difficult to put into words, in her case, it was extremely delightful. The lantern light shone on the tender face of the young woman who had just become a bride, and the trembling eyelashes left half of her face in shadow.

  Busy as she was, Zhang Gui's chin suddenly hurt, and it turned out that Langling Wang had lifted her face.

  He gazed at her intently, and when their eyes met, he spoke in a low voice: "Are you feeling weak? Do you want to rest?"

  Zhang Qi nodded slightly and slowly moved in front of the copper mirror, combing her long hair, and said softly: "Everything will be done according to the King's orders."

  The King of Lanling fell silent.

  He saw Zhang Qi had finished sizing him up and then ordered: "Bring some pastries."

  "Yes."

  He took the pastries and put them in Zhang Qi's arms, then Lanling Wang swept Zhang Qi up in his arms and turned to head out the door.

  Zhang Qi lightly called out: "My hair is still wet." None of them had braided it.

  The King of Lanling's footsteps didn't stop, "Don't worry."

  As he walked up to the horse carriage, he turned around and ordered Yang: "Bring twenty more men."

  "Yes."

  "Bring me the canopy."

  "Yes."

  He reached out and fastened the hood on Zhang Qi's head, then turned over and jumped onto the carriage.

  The horse carriage went towards the imperial palace at a moderate pace.

  Zhang Qi leaned against Lang Ling Wang's chest, and after savoring two delicate pastries, she picked up a piece and gently stuffed it into Lang Ling Wang's mouth.

  The King of Lanling closed his eyes in thought, feeling a softness on his lips, and opened them again.

  He gazed at Zhang Qi's moist and charming eyes, which still had a hint of flirtation. She had put her hood aside and was picking up pastries with her hands, intently stuffing them into her own mouth.

  He never eats these things.

  But her movements were so natural, naturally intimate, that he unknowingly opened his beautiful lip line and put the pastry in his mouth.

  Zhang Qi lowered her head, stuffed another piece into herself, and then put all her weight on him. She stretched out her right hand, hugged his waist affectionately, and rubbed against him like a small dog. After being dazed for a while, she picked up another pastry and sent it to his mouth.

  This time, he held her hand together with his own.

  He said in a low voice: "I don't like eating."

  Zhang Qi blinked, "But you're hungry."

  He looked at her seriously.

  She blinked her eyes and continued to stuff the pastry into his mouth. She felt that his lips were closed too tightly. She finally withdrew her wet hand.

  She naturally took the cake he had bitten into, put half of it in her mouth, and then lifted her head to stick it to him. She fed the other half of the cake to his lips.

  She raised her head, her body as soft and smooth as a snake. Her moist eyes had a hint of playful charm, and on her unadorned, exquisitely beautiful small face, there was a radiant glow.

  She is tempting him.

  The King of Lanling parted his lips, and as he kissed her, he took in that pastry.

  She had just swallowed, and Zhang Yi seemed to have completed a task, lowering her head comfortably and shrinking back into his arms, completely unaware that her previous actions were inappropriate.

  Looking down, eating small mouthfuls of pastries, Zhang Yi was quiet and focused yet lazy. The King of Lanling's lips moved slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything, only holding his arms tighter.

  His movements made her dissatisfied with a hum. Perhaps she was already used to it, and just this one sound, she didn't struggle.

  Before I knew it, we arrived at the imperial palace.

  Looking ahead at the brilliant lights, he hugged her and jumped off the horse carriage. In that moment, he grabbed the canopy hat and handed it to the attendant behind him.

  The hall is already brightly lit and filled with the sound of people's voices.

  On the square, beside the carriage, many nobles also gathered. As soon as Prince Langling got off the carriage, the noise subsided, and everyone turned their heads to look at him and Zhang Qi in his arms.

  At this time, Zhang Qi's face was stuck to his chest, her body curled up into a small ball, trying hard to make herself inconspicuous.

  Still quiet, everyone is still looking this way.

  Suddenly, a loud laughter came, "Prince of Lanling, you're late."

  Tai Yuwen Cheng strode forward with large steps under the support of several noble young men. His face wore a bright smile, but those who saw this smile involuntarily retreated to both sides and quietly avoided him.

  Yuwen Cheng stood in front of Langling Wang with a swagger. Looking at Zhang Qi, who was shrinking into Langling Wang's arms, Yuwen Cheng laughed loudly and said: "What a great King of Langling!" He narrowed his eyes and smiled as he leaned in close to Langling Wang, speaking in a voice that everyone could hear: "I heard that the king returned from last night and has been enjoying himself with his beloved concubine until now... As the saying goes, 'one moment of spring pleasure is worth a thousand pieces of gold.' I wonder how many tens of thousands of gold this time is worth for the king?"

  As soon as he spoke, the quiet square was filled with a buzz. From last night's revelry to now? Truly good physical strength! The sons of the Qi State's Gao family are indeed all dissipated in wine and lust. It can be said that the Lanling King's physical strength, honed on the battlefield, has been used up on women instead.

  Facing the sudden humming noise around him, Langling Wang's expression did not change. He still held Zhang Qi in his arms, and with a pair of starry eyes that were as deep and cold as the universe, he stared steadily at Yuwen Hu. The faintly rising mocking sound seemed to have no effect on him.

  It's also expected that there are a few nobles who aren't reckless? This is nothing compared to women playing around in their inner chambers for one or two days.

  Yuwen Cheng's face sank.

  He clapped his hands slowly twice.

  Among the crisp applause, ten girls dressed as southern beauties, with delicate and charming faces, walked out in a line. They stood behind Yuwen Cheng, their beautiful eyes gazing at Langya Wang in a daze of surprise and admiration.

  Yuwen Cheng pointed to the crowd of women behind him and said with a smile: "Last night, I wanted to give these ten beauties to the Duke, but the Duke was busy. Now that the Duke is free, please accept this kindness."

  He looked at the crowd of Qi envoys behind Prince Langya and smiled, saying: "With these beauties I've sent, it will prevent someone from blaming the Duke for causing trouble in Zhou and deliberately provoking a conflict between the two countries!"

  It became quiet again.

  Isn't this forcing Langling Wang to take Mei Ji?

  Of course, beauties are always better in abundance, don't you think? They can also be used to win over subordinates. Therefore, facing Yuwen Cheng's provocative kindness, including the Qi envoy, they all showed a few points of approval. They looked at King Lanling, waiting for him to accept with a smile.

  Yuwen Cheng was also watching Langling Wang with a pleased expression. His eyes swept over Zhang Qi, waiting for Langling Wang to accept the ten beauties he had sent. He would then ask him for Zhang Qi. Although this southern little girl was already worthless second-hand goods, seeing how anxious Langling Wang was, even if he played her to death in front of him, it would be worth venting his anger!

  The King of Lanling lowers his gaze.

  He reached out and stroked Zhang Qi's hair, and as he did, Zhang Qi, who had unknowingly stiffened up, calmed down.

  Gently stroking, Lang Ling Wang's low and husky voice slowly said, "Thank you! However, Chang Gong has already told me that I have a woman. With this one in my arms, it's enough."

  He no longer looked at Yuwen Cheng, took a step forward and walked towards the main hall!

  Still so arrogant!

  Yuwen Cheng had never been so furious as he was last night, his face suddenly sank. He coldly shouted: "Gao Changgong, you're shameless!"

  The King of Lanling stopped in his tracks.

  Under the sunset, his handsome face with a hint of a smile caused everyone around him to pause for a moment. The gentle breeze lifted his half-dry, unbound hair, and the ends brushed against his face... He glanced quietly at Yuwen Cheng, and Langling Wang asked in a deep voice: "What is your official position?"

  Yuwen Cheng was taken aback. He still didn't have an official position.

  Seeing him stunned, the King of Lanling said solemnly and sternly: "You have no official position, yet you dare to publicly insult the great country's envoy! Threaten my Qi country's dignified king! Yuwen Cheng, this is truly a good show!" As soon as the words fell, the crowd of Qi envoys who were just about to get angry simultaneously lowered their heads in shame.

  The King of Lanling turned around and continued walking forward with Zhang Gui in his arms.

  As he walked, the crowd of people originally blocking the passageway involuntarily parted to make way for him.

  Just then, a loud laughter suddenly came from behind.

  However, a slender scholar walked out. He stood in front of the King of Lanling, bowed deeply to him and said: "The king is wrong! In fact, the beauty in the king's arms was originally a beautiful woman presented by Chen Guo to my great prime minister... Such a beauty was taken away from my family's young master, it's not surprising that he's angry."

  At this point, Wen Shi stared at Zhang Qi in the arms of Langling Wang and shouted: "Zhang's Ah Qi, your maid Ah Lu has already cried to my family's young master, don't you have anything to say?"

  What's up?

  Zhang Qi was taken aback.

  Na Wen Shi looked at Lang Ling Wang and said with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes: "Your Highness, why not put down this beauty and let her speak for herself?"

  The King of Lanling lowered his head and gazed at Zhang Gui for a moment before slowly putting her down.

  Zhang Qi raised her head, and countless pairs of eyes immediately turned to look at her. Unfortunately, the lights were slightly dim at this moment, and the crowd had not yet carefully seen her facial features clearly, she had already taken a side curtain hat and put it on.

  Seeing her weakly leaning against Langling Wang, he had only just caught a glimpse of her and hadn't yet fully appreciated the beauty of Yuwen Cheng's widow. He hastily withdrew his gaze: Just looking at this posture, one could tell she was a stunning beauty, but he really didn't believe it - this beauty seemed as ordinary as when they first met that day. Hmm, now that she's in his hands, he'll take a good look and appreciate her thoroughly before deciding what to do next.

  Na Wen-shi stared at Zhang Qi, with a sarcastic smile and said: "Zhang Shi A-qi, I heard that among the Chen Guo envoys there are many of your old friends? Unfortunately, they made trouble again last night at Yangchun Building, and it's said that several officials were beaten to death. As for that maidservant... Alas, who knows if she can even keep her life and return to Chen land."

  Na Wenshi shook his head and looked at Zhang Qi with a disappointed expression, while Yuwen Cheng, who was not far behind him, had a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth.

  For these southerners, he still understands... They have too many considerations from the bone, and they are used to considering everything from the point of view of reputation. The girl in front of her, no matter how unwilling she is, that evil and selfish name, which is willing to see people die without saving them, she dare not bear it at all.

  Besides, she had wholeheartedly followed the King of Lanling, disregarding her family and countrymen. But wasn't she worried that the King of Lanling would think her heartless and cruel? She should have known that by doing so, she would lose favor with the King of Lanling.

  This time, she has no choice but to choose.

  Zhang Qi raised her head.

  Under her veil, she looked at the scholar with moist eyes and said softly: "It won't be."

  "Does the young lady not believe?" Yuwen Cheng sneered, "Someone, go bring over a few of the Chens and that maid from the large prison." His tone was full of malice, making people completely believe that even if Ah Lu and the others were innocent, he would still pin several crimes on them. Although the Chens were envoys, he only moved against a few of them, pinning unfounded charges on them, which was an easy task.

  Everyone looked at Zhang Qi, waiting for her to admit that she was indeed a gift from the Chen State to Yuwen Hu, and that this Prince of Langya had intercepted her halfway and harbored ulterior motives.

  In the absolute silence, Zhang Qi lowered her eyes. Nor did he know how, but at this moment, Lang Ling Wang, who had always been strong, also didn't make a sound, he was quietly watching her, waiting for her to betray him.

  Facing the gaze of the crowd, Yuwen Cheng's cold smile, the scholar's complacent expression, Zhang Qi lowered her eyes and said softly: "It won't work... Although Daizong Cai has a great reputation, he has already offended the Duke of Qi State, and now he is treating Chen Guo's envoy like this, it's very dangerous... It will force Qi and Chen to join forces!"

  A soft and tender voice trembled out, yet it made everyone pause, as countless pairs of eyes turned to look at her. No one dared to believe that such words came from the mouth of this delicate, childish, and flirtatious little girl.

  Yuwen Cheng's face changed, and he sneered just as he was about to speak. Zhang Qi's soft, fearful voice still lingered in the air: "And, and, won't your country's scholars and ministers ask questions? If they find out that the young master of the Da Zhang family bullied the envoys of two neighboring countries over some trivial matter, I'm afraid they will also get angry..."

  Her voice was soft and delicate, completely powerless. But what she said was every word hitting the mark, so that there was no other sound coming out of the surroundings!

  That scholar's eyes widened, he didn't dare to believe that Zhang Qi could say such a thing. In such a short time, being able to think of these things and say something so close to a threat, the person speaking must have extremely quick thinking and extremely accurate judgment!

  Isn't it what King Langling said to her in a casual conversation?

  Everyone thought so, and for a moment, even Yuwen Cheng lost his voice!

  Zhang Qi was stared at by everyone, and seemed to be even more timid. She leaned closer to the King of Lanling, her small body shrinking behind his.

  In absolute silence, Langling Wang suddenly burst out laughing loudly.

  He rarely smiled, and such a big laugh was extremely rare. Everyone looked at him at the same time. The clear wind rolled up his scattered hair, blowing up his robes, and Lang Ling Wang, who was laughing loudly, seemed like an immortal among mortals.

  Under the gaze of the crowd, Prince Langling held Zhang Yi's hand, laughing loudly as they walked through the crowd and disappeared from their sight in an instant.

  Watching their backs, Yuwen Chengjun's face turned iron green! Although the King of Lanling didn't say a word, his laughter was clearly the most sarcastic ridicule! He dared to laugh so triumphantly, he dared to be so disdainful of him!

  Don't mention the stunned look on Zhou Ren's face. After walking for a while, Lanling King slowly retracted his smile and looked down at Zhang Qi. Staring at her still timid and delicate appearance, he said in a low voice: "Ah Qi is truly breathtaking."

  He lifted her chin with his hand, carefully examining her expression. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly as he said in a low voice: "I don't understand Ah Qie at all... It seems like she's being pampered and frightened, insulted and intimidated, but actually everything is clear in her eyes and mind. That fear and intimidation are just pretenses to elicit sympathy from others!"

  Jian Zhang's eyelashes fluttered rapidly as she listened to her own words, a mixture of fear and shyness appearing on her face, as if her own evaluation had made her both uneasy and delighted at the same time!

  This cunning little girl! She's pretending so well that even she herself can't tell what's real and what's fake!

  Langling Wang's grip on her wrist tightened, but when he heard Zhang Qi's muffled groan, he quickly loosened his hold.
