Your Highness, you stole my heart

The other private room of Danxian Teahouse is not quiet either.

"My lord, it's Fa Tingwei who came downstairs to fetch someone." It was a man in a blue cloth gown who spoke, and from his appearance, he could tell that it was the sitting man who followed him.

In the Tianjin Kingdom, men with a little background will prepare one or two personal long-term attendants at home, so that they can be dispatched easily.

The long follower in Tianjin is the most decent servant, even though he is a servant, but they are all dressed decently, and he is the most respectable in front of the master.

The corresponding among noble girls is the first-class big maid.

"Oh? Since he is Fa Tingwei, you invite him to come over. This king wants to thank my sister."

The attendant bent over to carry his luggage, "Go back to your lord, Captain Fa Ting has been invited into the private room by Princess Pengji."

The young man smiled after hearing this, "Your sister is here too? It seems that my younger sister will thank you personally."

The long follower bent over, carefully raised his eyes to look at his master's face, and saw that the master was looking at the teacup in front of the table and smiling as if he was looking at something interesting, so he knew that this was not a question, so he quickly lowered his head and said nothing. Say more.

The steaming tea in the private room made the air even quieter, Chang Sui's waist was already sore, the young man spoke again: "Liu Kai, do you still remember how old is our lord Tingwei?" The top pick in the competition?"

"Go back to the lord, I remember that Fa Tingwei was 16 years old and won the No. 16 Scholar. I still remember that it was [-] years ago, and all the noble girls in Jingzhou who were provoked by the No. [-] scholar in that year went out."

"It has been written for 16 years, the same age as this king, but this king had a second son not long ago, and this number one scholar is still alone."

"It's the majesty of the prince."

There was a confident smile on the boy's face, and he laughed heartily, "You're a slicker." Out of the ten boys back then, only this one was kept as a personal long-term follower, and it seemed reasonable.

…………

As soon as Fa Yi entered the private room, he saw a woman sipping tea as if no one else was around. He glanced generously, then bent his legs, and bowed to the woman, "I have seen Your Highness the Princess." He arched his hands on the ground, with his forehead resting on the back of his hands, in a reverent and reverent gesture.

Fa Yi naturally knew the identity of the woman in front of him, and this woman was the most eye-catching when returning to the palace banquet.

Chang Sui's eyes flickered behind him, and then he knelt down.

The three maidservants were startled in place, even breathing involuntarily slowed down.

They have been with the princess for 13 years. They have seen all kinds of scenes, but they are still shocked.

In Tianjin, kneeling and saluting is only required to face the emperor. Except for going to the court, officials of the fourth rank or above only need to bow to the emperor even if they meet the emperor.The Ting Wei of the second grade bowed down to the princess in the teahouse, which was unprecedented.

But the princess receiving the ceremony was still drinking tea with a calm expression on her face.

Peng Ji put down the teacup, and turned her eyes to the dignified second-rank official who was sticking to the ground. She could only see the lock of hair, which was very neat and tidy. The purple hair crown also matched the purple robe official uniform, presumably It must be a maid in the family who is good at binding hair.

"Please, Lord Tingwei, please raise your face."

Not getting up quickly, but raising your face.The three maids were even more shocked, after all, there might be ears behind the walls everywhere in Jingzhou.

Fa Yi knelt on the spot respectfully and straightly, slowly raised his head, facing that glamorous face and the pair of eyes that focused on him.In those eyes, he no longer had the icy face of judging a case, and his usual tightly pursed lips curved into an imperceptible arc.

This was the second time she looked at Princess Pengji so closely, and she could clearly see the eyes with slightly longer tails, obviously looking at them with a smile, but Fa Yi didn't feel any warmth at all.

It finally annoyed her.

"I have met Mr. Fa for a few times. I just found out today that the black-faced evil spirit rumored by outsiders is simply nonsense. This handsome little man is so dark."

Fa Yi is white, and his facial features are not big, not like a man's facial features, but more like the exquisite facial features of Jingzhou noble girls. When placed on a man, he is naturally extremely handsome, only a little more delicate.

Although Peng Ji said so, she was not surprised, she already knew that the Ting Wei in front of her was a daughter, and she had seen her face covered with fog.She said this just because she felt that this person was more interesting than the gentlemen and ladies of Jingzhou and wanted to tease him.

It was the 16th year of the enactment, and the imperial examination was held every three years. The emperor selected the youngest number one scholar since the founding of the People's Republic of China, only 16 years old.At the Qionglin banquet, not only all the officials arrived, but Peng Ji knew that these elder brothers were all trying to win over new scholars, so they would not be absent. As the only princess, she naturally couldn't be absent.

Unexpectedly, at the Qionglin banquet, the father mentioned Qi Shilang, the eldest son of King Qi, and he meant to give her a son-in-law, in order to go out in a low-key way to get some air, so he didn't bring his servants, so he said it this time.

After all, she was careless.

She had sex with someone in a daze that night, and found out she was pregnant a month later.After taking the medicine, she didn't even remember what the person looked like that night, so she kept checking.

When she found out about the number one scholar, she almost believed that it was this person, and also left the banquet halfway, and also never returned to the banquet.So she entered the court and wanted to inquire in person.What I saw was the female No. [-] scholar who was taking a bath.

Thinking of this, Peng Ji frowned, feeling unhappy.

"Thank you, princess, for your compliment." Fa replied with a straight line.

Peng Ji's unhappiness was suppressed, and the courtesan's upright demeanor really pleased her.Who would have known that this black-faced evil spirit is a charming woman who loves to play with water in the bath.

"Lord Ting Wei, get up quickly. Those who don't know think that this palace doesn't know etiquette and insists on kneeling and worshiping. This palace is also very old. If you add this bad reputation, it will be a shame. It's not good to talk about marriage."

Fa Yi, who was getting up, paused, blaming himself for interfering in her marriage.It is said that Princess Pengji is a beautiful woman who is proficient in poetry and books. She once worshiped Master Liu Xu and devoted herself to learning painting skills. Nowadays, Princess Pengji's paintings are hard to find.Because of this, Princess Pengji was praised as the most talented woman in Jingzhou, and became a role model for noble ladies.But only Fa Yi knew that this role model noble lady, the number one talented woman in Wangcheng, had a bad temper.

In the 16th year of the writing, at the Qionglin Banquet, she, the number one scholar from a merchant family, was not the protagonist. There was the second place son of the Hou Ye's mansion, Tanhua, the eldest daughter of the Shangshu family, and two hundred Jinshi from high-ranking families.After being drunk symbolically, he also sneaked away when the emperor left the banquet.

She didn't know where she went, but there was a rustling sound in the quiet palace. She looked towards the sound, but found a dirty beggar sneaking around. She subconsciously used a stone to kill him.Originally wanted to leave the palace as soon as possible, but heard the sound of broken porcelain, so out of curiosity, he walked into the palace, and what he saw was the princess who caught his eye at the banquet just now.

"Get out of this palace" was what the two of them said for the first time.At that time, Fa Yi knew that the princess' temper was not as gentle and respectful as the rumors said.

In the private room of the Danxian teahouse, Fa Yi bowed his body, "The princess is the body of a thousand pieces of gold, so there is no shortage of princes to marry."

Peng Ji snorted twice, and turned the topic off, "I was going to invite Sir Ting Wei to drink tea, sir, please sit down." I have been annoyed by this engagement for five years, and now I am very annoyed just mentioning it.

Fa Yi sat down respectfully, Peng Ji signaled to the maids, who exited the door with a wink.Fa Yi also motioned for his entourage to leave.

On a March day, even though there was sunshine outside, the room was still dark and cold. There was still a heater burning in the private room, and there was hot water sitting on the stove. Peng Ji got up and brought boiling hot water to make tea for Fa Yi.

After deliberating for a while, he opened his mouth, "Originally, I should offer you a glass of good wine to thank you for your kindness, but today I am not fit for drinking, so I can only use hot tea instead."

The two drank a cup of hot tea, and fell into the silence of the room again.

Apart from finding this person interesting, Peng Ji has another plan.Five years ago, there were many of her elder brothers who offered an olive branch to the young champion, and according to the secret report, they were all easily and politely rejected by the person in front of him.

Five years ago, she was just the number one scholar from a merchant, so she was not interested.But now, the emperor is on guard against the six siblings. If the father's favored ministers get closer, not to mention the court lieutenant in charge of major judicial affairs, even the emperor's will, she can know about it earlier and take precautions.

In the short term, it is beneficial but not harmful to win over this law.

And she has a handle on this person in her hand, it's really the right time and place.

Obviously, a daughter can be the number one scholar in the imperial examination, but this person wants to disguise herself as a man. He must have something to ask or avoid to risk committing the crime of deceiving the emperor.

Just as she was thinking about how to speak, the other party spoke first: "Your Highness, please be clear. Imprisonment and punishment of Prince Luo are all due to their duties. You must never dare to target Your Highness the Princess."

After thinking about it again and again, Fa felt that it was because of rumors going around in Jingzhou that he was targeting Princess Pengji and not showing any face to the royal family, which made His Highness care, so he mentioned this "graciousness of knowing people" today.

She doesn't want to dislike His Highness at all, if the emperor chooses her a good man, she will fulfill it well.But they are all incompetent, which one of those people is worthy of the person in front of him.

She should be worthy of the best in the world.

Peng Ji didn't seem to expect her to mention this matter, she thought that Falcon was an upright person and would never show weakness to nobles.

I didn't take these little things to heart at first, "Master Tingwei misunderstood me when he said this. You have recognized the nature of those people for me. It's too late for me to thank you. Where can I blame you?"

"Princess righteousness." Fayi dared to boast respectfully.Today's meeting was not something she had prepared for, and she didn't dare to speak too much to arouse suspicion.

"It's just that there is one thing I don't know. My Tianjin law clearly states that talented people can take the imperial examination route to become an official, regardless of gender." When she mentioned the female character, Peng Ji paused. , "Master Ting Wei, why bother to disguise a woman as a man?"

Fa Yi raised his head and looked at the opposite person in surprise, his eyes seemed to say "how would you know".
