After being married off by my younger sister, I became the most beloved person in the palace

Gu Zhiyin frowned and remained silent for a while.

Even if they could hear the conversation between the two, the shameless behavior of the Yiji family could not be used as evidence to overwhelm them.

In this case, it would be better to remove the fire from under the cauldron.

Gu Zhiyin's eyes turned and she whispered something to Mother Hu.

Bichunlou is not just a teahouse, it is also a restaurant.

In the afternoon, pleasant singing and sporadic applause were heard from the building. Not many people were drinking tea, but precisely because there were few people and it was quiet, it was convenient for Ji Yuanwen and Pei Shuyan to meet here.

Pei Shuyan heard that the Xing'an Marquis' Mansion was charged with poisoning, and was afraid that her dream of becoming the Crown Prince's wife would be shattered, so she was eager to find Ji Yuanwen to confirm it.

Suddenly, panicked shouts came from outside: "Help, help, help, there's a fire, there's a fire."

When he shouted, the people in the private room rushed out in fear.

"Where, where is the flood?"

"Quickly put out the fire!"

Some people ran towards the stairs in panic, some hid in the distance to watch the excitement, and the waiters in the building came up with buckets of water to put out the fire.

When a man passed by the private room where Ji Yuanwen and Pei Shuyan were, Qing Cheng pushed him, and the man was caught off guard and crashed into the door of the private room.

The door opened, and the people outside subconsciously looked inside and saw Ji Yuanwen and Pei Shuyan holding hands.

Qingcheng's eyes lit up involuntarily. Isn't this just a pillow for you when you feel sleepy?

There's no need to mislead yourself. Anyone with eyes can see that these two are having an affair.

"Ah..." Pei Shuyan was startled by the sudden change. He quickly pulled back his hand and stood up. Because he stood up too quickly, he pushed the stool behind him over. "What are you doing?"

She and Ji Yuanwen heard the sound of a fire outside. They were so shocked that they were stunned for a moment. In just a moment, the door was pushed open by someone without any eyes.

The fire broke out right next to where Ji Yuanwen and Pei Shuyan were. The fire was not big and only burned some tables and chairs. Thanks to the timely rescue, it did not spread.

However, at this moment, no one cared about the anger, as the gossip before them was obviously even more shocking.

At this time, an angry voice sounded:

"Ah... Where did this lunatic come from? How dare you flirt with my young lady? My master is the salt merchant Pei Shiyong, and he has a big shot behind him. If you know what's good for you, tell me your name, and we in the Pei family will leave your body intact."

Qing Cheng, with a dark face, stood at the door with his hands on his hips, pointing at Ji Yuanwen and shouting indignantly.

Well, this is a disguise to avoid being recognized.

Even if Pei Shuyan found out that he was not a servant of the Pei family, there would be nothing to find out.

Everyone whispered.

"Although salt merchants with backers are businessmen, they are indeed not to be messed with."

"But this boy is also very arrogant when he talks, and he always wants to leave people's bodies intact. Who are these Pei family members? Even the princes and nobles are not as arrogant as them."

"Huh? Isn't this Prince Ji?" Dongyang, who was hiding at the back of the crowd, took the opportunity to shout.

"Prince Ji, which Prince Ji?" Someone didn't react for a moment and asked subconsciously.

"Ah, it's the Prince of Xing'an!"

"Oh my goodness, Prince Ji is cheating on Princess Yunhua."

"I heard that Princess Yunhua was seriously ill and was taken back to the palace for recuperation. She has only been gone for a few days, but Prince Ji couldn't stand the loneliness and secretly met with a woman."

"What Miss Pei? You are so shameless."

"..."

Pei Shuyan was so angry that her face turned pale and blue when she heard the insults from everyone. She grabbed the teapot on the table and threw it towards the door, angrily saying, "Get out, all of you, get out."

When everyone saw the teapot coming, they all dodged it.

With a "bang", fragments flew everywhere!

Ji Yuanwen was caught on the spot and wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Looking at the pairs of eyes in front of him that were watching the fun, he felt his scalp tingling.

He grabbed Pei Shuyan, who was throwing things in a rage, and shouted, "Hurry up and leave."

Are you going to stay here and be laughed at?

Pei Shuyan wished she could dig out these people's eyeballs and pull out their tongues, so that no one would dare to criticize her.

Naturally, no one would stop the two of them when they left, but the ridicule and discussions behind them were enough to make Ji Yuanwen and Pei Shuyan so angry that their chests felt like they were on fire.

As night falls, a full moon hangs high in the sky. The moonlight is extremely bright, and the silvery moonlight fills every corner of the courtyard. The flowers in the courtyard are in full bloom, and there is a faint fragrance floating in the air.

In Qingyi Courtyard, a round table was placed in the middle of the yard. The maids brought the dishes to the table one by one in an orderly manner, including spicy hot pot with lamb ribs, fried tripe of mandarin duck, pork tenderloin with pocket, pork elbow with rock sugar, white kidney with wine and vinegar, roast duck, crucian carp and tofu soup, three fresh vegetables, boiled chicken, hairy crabs and some seasonal vegetables.

Desserts include Poria cocos cake, longan, lotus seeds and Tremella soup, milk tea, lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar paste, auspicious fruit, blooming flowers and moon cakes of various flavors.

Fu Yunyao was still ill and should not eat greasy food. Wen took the trouble to prepare some light yet delicious dishes and moved a low table to the bed.

"Sister, I want more, ah..." Fu Yunke sat obediently on the embroidered cushion beside the bed, with his little head slightly tilted back and his little mouth open, looking like a baby bird crying for food.

She was hungry, but her mother said she couldn't sit down to eat yet, so she went into the house. When she saw the delicious food on Fu Yunyao's table, her eyes lit up and she couldn't walk.

She asked the wet nurse to move a stool and sit next to Fu Yunyao.

Fu Yunyao tried to avoid her and told her that she was ill and it would be easy for her to pass her illness on to her.

Fu Yunke shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand, and just stared at the delicious food and swallowed hard.

Fu Yunyao had no choice but to ask the wet nurse to bring a plate of mooncakes and feed them to Fu Yunke.

But Fu Yunke came running back with the plate in his hand, asking the eldest sister to feed him.

"This is the last bite. You can't eat any more. You won't be able to eat dinner soon." Fu Yunyao calculated her small appetite and stopped feeding her.

Fu Yunke blinked, her dark eyes were like stars in the dark night, so bright that it was dazzling, and she nodded obediently.

Then, while Fu Yunyao was not paying attention, he grabbed a piece of mooncake, jumped off the stool and ran out.

"Ke Ke..." Fu Yunyao shouted anxiously from behind.

The wet nurse hurriedly chased after her, and when she caught up with the young master, she saw that her cheeks were bulging like a squirrel.

The nurse's eyebrows jumped fiercely, but she didn't dare to take the food out of her master's mouth. She could only squat down and persuade her softly: "Miss, be good and spit it out. You will have a stomachache if you eat too much. Listen to the nurse."

Fu Yunke covered his mouth with his hands and shook his head in resistance.

How could she throw up something she had eaten with her own ability?

He turned around and ran to find Wen.

Seeing that the corners of her mouth were covered with cake crumbs, and then looking at the nurse chasing after her, Wen Shi was fully aware of what was going on. She poked her little head and said, "You, if you don't know, you would think that your mother abuses you and doesn't give you food."

Fu Yunke grinned, revealing a cute smile.
