The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

Zixu led his sister and left his mother's bedroom in a depressed mood, and returned to the bench in the imperial garden.

Ziye sat on Zixu's lap with a sad face and asked sadly: "Brother Xu, mother doesn't agree, what should we do?"

Zixu hugged his sister's slender waist, buried his head in her ear, and inhaled the fragrance emanating from her hair.

She said softly, "Don't worry, Ye'er. I'll go and ask grandma for help tomorrow."

"My grandmother loves me the most. She will definitely help persuade my mother."

Ziye asked worriedly, "What if Mother doesn't even listen to Grandma?"

Zixu thought for a moment and said, "If Mother doesn't agree, we can follow Ziri and Pengruo's example and elope!"

"Ah! Brother Zixu, is this okay?"

Zixu chuckled helplessly: "If we don't do this, is there any other way?"

"So, which country are we going to?"

Zixu shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet. This is just the worst-case scenario. Maybe it won't come to that..."

After Peng Xi entered the palace, she went to Zixu's residence to find him. The palace maid told her that the young master was relaxing in the imperial garden.

When she heard this, her heart was filled with joy. Isn't the Imperial Garden a perfect place for romance? Let's go find him!

He immediately quickened his pace and walked quickly towards the imperial garden.

The Imperial Garden was very large, and she searched for more than ten minutes before she saw two people sitting on a bench in a pavilion.

Peng Xi quickened his pace, walked closer and took a look, and was immediately shocked.

I saw the young master hugging a stunningly beautiful woman, whispering sweet nothings in her ear.

Seeing this, she immediately became furious and rushed forward and slapped Ziye in the face.

Then he pulled Zi Ye off Zi Xu's body.

Zi Ye didn't react in time, and Peng Xi pulled his body hard, and he fell to the ground with a bang.

"Ah! Who are you? What are you doing?!"

Ziye's butt hurt from the fall, and he screamed and asked.

Zixu was startled and instinctively reached out to grab Ziye, but he was a beat too late and watched his sister fall to the ground.

As soon as he saw it was Peng Xi, his face immediately turned cold and he shouted sternly, "How dare you, Peng Xi! How could you be so rude! You actually hit someone!"

Seeing Gongzi Xu's attitude towards her, Peng Xi immediately burst into tears, feeling wronged. "Brother Xu, who is she? Why are you hugging her?"

Zixu glanced at Ziye: "She! She is my sister Ziye!"

"Ah? She's your sister? Can siblings hug each other like this? I don't believe it!"

At this time, Zi Ye had been helped up by her brother. She was both embarrassed and angry.

Covering her blushing face, she pointed at Peng Xi and asked Zixu, "Brother Xu, who is she? Why did she hit me?"

Zixu put his arm around his sister's shoulders and gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Ye'er. She is Peng Xi."

Then he glared at Peng Xi again: "Why don't you apologize to Princess Ye!"

Peng Xi was shocked: "Ah! Brother Xu, is she, is she really Princess Ye?"

"Nonsense! Is there a fake princess? Apologize now!"

Oh, oh! Peng Xi knelt on the ground in panic and kowtowed: "Yes, I'm sorry, Your Highness. Xier didn't know you were her younger sister. I'm sorry for offending you. Please forgive me, younger sister."

When Zi Ye heard that this was Peng Xi, he immediately looked her up and down.

When I saw her, I immediately felt insecure. No wonder she was chosen by Brother Zixu. She turned out to be a great beauty.

Ziye is a sensible and good girl.

She understood Peng Xi's feelings at the moment. If she saw Brother Xu hugging someone else, she would also be angry.

So she raised her hand and said, "Get up. Ignorance is not a crime."

Peng Xi kowtowed again: "Thank you, Princess, and thank you, sister!"

Zixu rolled his eyes at her and said, "Peng Xi, what are you doing in the Imperial Garden?"

After Peng Xi stood up, she immediately took Zixu's arm and said, "Brother Xu, I came to the palace to find you. Xier misses you."

Zixu looked at Ziye awkwardly and quickly pulled his arm out: "Pengxi! Stop pulling."

"Don't you know that there are differences in the way men and women feel and shouldn't be intimate with each other?"

Peng Xi looked at him unhappily: "Brother Xu, you were hugging your sister just now, what's wrong? Xi'er just pulled your arm and you can't do it?"

"Don't forget, I'm your fiancée. If my sister can hug you, why can't I?"

Ziye blushed and explained, "Sister Xi, please don't misunderstand."

"Just now, my sister squinted her eyes because of the wind, and brother Xu was blowing sand into my eyes."

"What are you blowing?! I saw it just now. It was clearly you two being affectionate and affectionate! You're brother and sister, how shameless! Don't you have any shame!"

I, I, Ziye is thin-skinned, and I immediately felt ashamed and ran away quickly with my face covered.

Zixu saw his sister running away and was about to chase her.

Suddenly, Peng Xi hugged her arms and begged, "Brother Xu, don't go. Xier misses you. Can you stay with Xier?"

Zixu was speechless and thought to himself, how could Peng Xi be so shameless.

He swung his arms hard, broke free, turned around and chased after Zi Ye.

Ah! Peng Xi was pushed to the ground by inertia, and her butt was almost broken into eight pieces.

She looked at their backs, gritting her teeth in hatred: "Ziye! How dare you snatch my man from me! Just wait for me!"

In Linzi, the capital of Qi, Cui Zhu killed Duke Zhuang of Qi and gained power. He took the initiative to establish Jiang Guang's younger brother Jiang Chujiu as king.

From then on, the era of Duke Jing of Qi began.

Qing Feng and Cui Zhu were both power-hungry people. He saw that Cui Zhu had committed the crime of regicide by killing Duke Zhuang of Qi.

He also monopolized power in the court and looked down on himself.

He was very unhappy, but after all, his power was greater than his own and it was difficult to shake him for the time being.

He then pretended to be servile and temporarily obeyed Cui Zhu, helping him to eliminate Jiang Guang's descendants and close ministers.

When Qingfeng saw Yanying in the court, he asked Cui Zhu, "Master Cui, should Yanying be killed?"

Cui Zhu shook his head and said, "Yanzi holds great prestige among the ministers and the people. He cannot be killed."

After hearing this, Qingfeng also thought it made sense, so he gave up.

After Cui Zhu supported the new king, he proclaimed himself prime minister and became the most powerful official in Qi State, second only to the emperor.

He thought that now that the new king had been established, it was time to come to a conclusion on the matter of Duke Zhuang of Qi.

So he went to the historian Taishi Bo and said, "Master Taishi, now that the late king has passed away, I wonder what you plan to write in the annals of our country?"

Tai Shi Bo stroked his beard and said disdainfully, "Of course I will record it truthfully!"

Cui Zhu smiled and said, "Master Taishi, why don't you follow my advice and write that the late king died of a serious illness?"

Tai Shi Bo shook his head. "How can that be possible? What is recorded in history books must be true. How can there be any fabrication?"

Cui Zhu again tried to persuade him, saying, "Master Taishi, history books are written by people. Isn't it up to us to decide how to write them?"

"As long as you follow my instructions and record in the history books that the late king died of a serious illness and was not killed by me."

"I will reward you with gold, silver, beautiful concubines, and a thousand acres of fertile land. What do you think?"
