The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

Chapter 19: The Dali Temple Minister's Banquet

"I don't care who she is!"

"It's better if she doesn't fall into my hands in the future!" Pei Lie said angrily.

Zhao Yi shook his head, speechless: "Tsk tsk tsk, what a vulgar person without any sense of humor..."

Pei Lie sat down on the chair beside him nonchalantly, still looking upset.

Zhao Yi smiled and looked towards the long, motionless figure on the windowsill. He said calmly, "Look, our most intolerant Dali Temple official, Mr. Xie, hasn't said anything."

Pei Lie looked up and saw Xie Zhiyan, who was wearing a crimson robe, with a face as white as jade and a stunning appearance, standing in front of the window, looking downstairs with a calm expression.

Due to the unique structural design of the fifth floor, one can clearly see what is happening outside the other four floors.

Therefore, the scene that just happened in the lobby on the first floor can be seen clearly from here.

"Oh, Brother Xie is here too, how rare!" Pei Lie's eyes lit up.

"I heard that things have been unsettled in the capital lately, with a number of cases happening one after another."

"Because of this, the Dali Temple is extremely busy..."

"That's right, he's a very busy man." Zhao Yi leaned back, raised the corner of his mouth, and said jokingly, "He just hangs around those prisoners every day. I've asked him many times but he still can't be seen."

"If my cousin hadn't returned to Beijing today, we wouldn't have been able to invite him."

Pei Lie nodded: "I see."

"Your Majesty has returned to the capital. It's rare for him to have the time to meet with us here. Of course, there are important matters to discuss."

"..."

The two chatted and laughed, and talked about other things.

Xie Zhiyan, with his back to them, kept looking downstairs with a calm expression.

Not a word was said.

After a long while, Zhao Yi finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Hey, Ah Yan!"

"Brother, I didn't invite you here just to stand there and stare blankly."

Xie Zhiyan sneered, turned around, and said arrogantly: "What else can you do in this place?"

The corners of Zhao Yi's mouth turned up, and his smile was somewhat uninhibited.

"With fine wine in hand and beauties to match, if you can't hold it in any longer, go downstairs and explore. I guarantee you'll be amazed..."

Xie Zhiyan didn't say anything, walked over and sat down opposite Pei Lie.

Zhao Yi didn't care. The Dali Temple Minister, who was always cold, aloof and self-disciplined, would definitely look down on these prostitutes.

However, the next moment, Xie Zhiyan's cold voice came: "Just now, the woman downstairs..."

"Are you interested?!" Zhao Yi's eyes suddenly lit up and he became energetic in an instant.

"I told you, what man doesn't love beauty?"

"Even if there is, it must be because she is not beautiful enough."

"The guy downstairs was a little crazy, but that face..."

He paused, his words filled with amazement: "Tsk tsk, it's so beautiful that it's fatal!"

Even though Zhao Yi had seen countless women in this pleasure house, he had never seen a woman with such unparalleled beauty.

Just thinking of the woman's identity and her bold and absurd behavior just now, Zhao Yi shook his head.

"She is not an ordinary woman, she is the Jiang family's second daughter who was just brought back from the countryside!"

Pei Lie exclaimed in surprise, "She's the second daughter of the Jiang family who's been causing a stir throughout the capital recently?!"

Zhao Yi waved the folding fan in his hand and nodded.

Pei Lie snorted coldly.

"Humph, I thought she was a weak, pitiful, beautiful, kind-hearted, simple woman, but I didn't expect her to be such a lunatic and immoral woman!"

"You're so young, yet you're having so much fun!" Pei Lie said with disdain, "I guess you've gotten used to being wild in that rural area."

"Compared to her sister, Miss Jiang, who is a dignified and elegant lady from a noble family, she is far inferior!"

"General Pei, be careful with your words!" Xie Zhiyan sat across from him, his usual gentleness diminishing to nothing as he warned him in a cold voice, "Defaming a woman's reputation behind her back is ungentlemanly."

Hearing this, Pei Lie's face became a little embarrassed, and he could only cough dryly a few times to cover up his embarrassment.

On the contrary, Zhao Yi was obviously excited, and there was a hint of depth in his eyes when he looked at Xie Zhiyan.

"No way, Ayan!"

"You really like her?!"

"No." Xie Zhiyan said indifferently, "I was just curious and asked casually."

"You know, I'm not in the mood for love."

Zhao Yi curled his lips speechlessly: "Well, another one who doesn't understand romance."

He then changed the subject and looked at Xie Zhiyan with a rare serious tone, "But I'm really curious, what kind of woman in this world can catch your eye?"

The latter didn't even bother to give a glance, and said coldly: "Of course it can't be what you think."

"Yes, yes, you are noble and pure, you are unattainable!"

"I'm superficial. I just love fair skin, beautiful faces and long legs!" Zhao Yi rolled his eyes, feeling extremely bored.

Xie Zhiyan held a cup of tea in his hand, the tea leaves floating in the air. He casually brushed away the tea leaves with the rim of the cup and said softly, "The future mistress of our Xie Mansion must naturally be a dignified and well-mannered lady from a noble family who is good at managing the household."

"Hey, my Ah Yan has finally come to his senses and wants to get married?"

Suddenly, a familiar clear voice came from outside the door...

Several people looked over sideways.

The man was dressed in black clothes, wearing a golden jade crown on his head, and a long hairpin with a dragon pattern tied up his long black hair. He looked extremely noble and handsome, like a banished immortal, but his whole body exuded an extremely cold and arrogant air.

It is the new emperor Wu Yuan.

He walked in with a smile, sat down beside Xie Zhiyan, and placed his hand on his shoulder. It was a very familiar and natural gesture, as if he was already used to it.

Speaking of which, Ji Wuyuan, Xie Zhiyan, and Zhao Yi grew up together when they were young, have a close relationship, and have a friendship as classmates.

"Something happened in the palace and delayed me. Sorry to have kept you waiting."

"I just heard you discussing getting married. But which noble lady has Ah Yan taken a fancy to? Do you need me to issue an edict to grant the marriage?" Ji Wuyuan said with a smile.

Before Xie Zhiyan could open his mouth, Zhao Yi from the other side complained, "Come on, cousin, Ah Yan is busy with the prisoners in the Dali Temple jail all day long. How can he go to see the lady?"

"You yourself have issued an edict to expand your harem and expand the royal family, but none of your brothers have married yet."

"Want to get married?"

Ji Wuyuan raised his eyebrows, with a smile evident at the corners of his lips.

Zhao Yi suddenly felt that the situation was not good.

Suddenly I felt a chill all over my body, and my hair stood on end.

He was too familiar with Ji Wuyuan's character: when his cousin smiled, it was bound to be bad news!

Sure enough, the next moment he spoke with a smile.

"How about I issue an edict and give you General Lin's eldest daughter?"

When Zhao Yi heard this, his pupils trembled violently and the folding fan in his hand fell to the ground.

"Cousin, I was wrong!"

As he spoke, he slapped his lips consciously, looking aggrieved and pitiful.

"I'm already honest, please let me go..."

joke!

Everyone in the capital knows that Miss Lin has a fierce temperament, a strong body and is as strong as an ox.

She was always fighting and killing people, and she had driven away two of her fiancés.

General Lin was a rough, tall, and strong man. He always protected his own people, especially his own children.

How could his small body handle such a tough father and daughter?
