Although Emperor Yuan An does not favor the sister-in-law of Yu Zhen, and can even be called lukewarm and strict with him, but the sister-in-law is the son-in-law, and he is not sloppy in name, so Qi Ge Lao is a serious grandfather to the royal family, and he is the head of the former cabinet ministers, so the palace banquet that night was quite high.

With the seat, in addition to Qi Ge Lao, there is also Qi Ge Lao's eldest son, Qi Zhangqi University, the minister of the Military Aircraft Department, and Qi Ge Lao's youngest son, that is, Qi Fu, the biological father of Qi Caiwei, the future concubine of Qi Zhen, Qi Fu has been a jinshi and has been a Hanlin, but he is indifferent by nature and likes to stay in his ancestral land to run a school, so he resigned from his official position.

It is only a son and no daughter under Qi Zhang's knees, otherwise it would not be his niece Qi Caiwei's turn to be the prince's concubine.

Fifteen-year-old Qi Caiwei was at the end of the Qi family, which was also the first time she and Yu Zhen met.

The little girl is white and clean, with good facial features, but her face is a little square, which is easy to give people a sense of generosity and chivalry, plus she was born in a literati family, and she has been influenced by Confucian culture.

Princess Zhiling was originally indifferent to the fourth prince and concubine, and even a little repulsed, but she didn't expect that when she saw it for the first time, her impression was actually good? Although the other party is not as beautiful as Fu Xuechen, that kind of peaceful and upright atmosphere really makes people feel bad.

Will the fourth brother be satisfied with such a fourth sister-in-law? Princess Zhiling glanced at Yu Zhen curiously, but she couldn't see any emotions on Yu Zhen's face, but caused Yu Zhen to look back at her a few times.

Just as several young people were curious about Qi Caiwei, the future fourth princess, Qi Caiwei was also curious about the four princes and her future husband, and glanced at each other several times during the banquet.

However, Yu Zhen, who had a cold breath and an expressionless face, not only did not make Qi Caiwei retreat in fear, but aroused Qi Caiwei's heart and paid more attention to him.

So she soon discovered that Yu Zhen was cold and ruthless on the surface, but in fact, whenever his eyes turned in a certain direction, his eyes would soften for a short moment.

It was really an extremely short moment, if you didn't keep paying attention to it, you wouldn't notice this change in Yu Zhen at all, Qi Caiwei was silent on the surface, but she couldn't help but quietly try to catch Yu Zhen's gaze.

Finally, at the moment when Yu Zhen's gaze shifted again, Qi Caiwei's gaze also hurriedly followed the past, and followed Yu Zhen's gaze to see the two girls in the inconspicuous seat at the end of the opposite seat.

Is that...... Qi Caiwei recalled a little, and remembered the identities of the two girls, the queen's niece and Yuzhen's cousin Yan Siyun, the county lord, and the county lord's Mr. Jiao Xi and the princess of Yasukuni Fu Xuechen.

Both girls are extremely beautiful, one is delicate, the other is charming, the other is bright, and the other is pure.

But in comparison, that Fu Xuechen girl is obviously superior, although she is dressed in a low-key and elegant manner, she sits there casually, and there is a pleasant scenery between her hands and feet.

Feeling Qi Caiwei's gaze, Fu Xuechen raised his head and returned a polite smile to the other party.

Qi Caiwei lowered her eyes, almost ashamed of Fu Xuechen's beauty, fortunately, in addition to her appearance, she asked herself that she would not lose, otherwise she would really be discouraged, but she heard that the other party stood out from hundreds of girls school students at a young age with exceptionally excellent academic performance and became Mr. Teacher......

Never mind! The name has been set and cannot be changed! I am destined to be the prince's concubine, no matter how much Yu Zhen likes others, at most she can only give the other party a side concubine position, Qi Caiwei thought about it a few times, and then threw away the matter.

Fu Xuechen frowned slightly, it seemed that this Qi girl didn't look like an arrogant character, but somehow, she looked at her gaze as if with scrutiny, and even put on an attitude of indifference that was thousands of miles away.

Could it be that her background as a noble martial artist, in the eyes of a girl from a literati family like Qi Caiwei, is synonymous with a vulgar martial artist, and she is not worthy of their favor? Then this mind is not enough!

There was no dramatic performance plot, even if Qi Caiwei had any talent, it was not suitable to be displayed in public, and at the same time, she was not stayed, she could have the opportunity to meet Shang Zhen before marriage, and having a few words of speech during the banquet was already the biggest concession that Qi Ge Lao could do.

After the palace banquet, Qi Caiwei followed her grandfather and father back to her hometown, and she would not be escorted to Beijing until a month before the wedding, and lived with her parents in the newly bought house in Beijing, waiting for the completion of the marriage.

The next day, Yan Siyun listened to the queen's suggestion and prepared to visit the Jade Emperor Mountain, which is a famous Taoist mountain and a scenic spot.

To Yan Siyun's surprise, the Jade Emperor Mountain is full of tourists, a small part of them are local Taoist believers, and the rest are all visitors from all over the world, who come to worship God and burn incense.

Several people mixed in the tourists who came and went, which brought trouble to the security of the accompanying guards, but fortunately, in a famous Taoist mountain like Jade Emperor Mountain, it is rare to hear of any bad incidents.

Look at so many tourists, everyone looks quite relaxed, and the guards do not engage in any personal protection, but blend in with the tourists, not far and not close to follow, sometimes being scattered by tourists, and sometimes returning to their positions.

There is a forest road in front, the two ends of the stairs are covered with moss, the trees on both sides of the stairs are forested, and it is indescribably quiet, but in fact, there are still people coming and going on the stairs, but compared to the front, the number is much less.

Yan Siyun looked left and right, and said regretfully: "The scenery here is really beautiful!" There are so many old trees, full of greenery, lining this stepped forest road feels very Zen! It's just that there are a lot of tourists, if there is no one here, only green shade on both sides, a lonely road......"

As she spoke, she stepped up the stairs, and several people followed, all of whom looked approving, and indeed as she said, the ancient tree-lined trees, the staircase paths, what a beautiful scenery it was, and at the moment it was ruined by the endless stream of visitors who climbed the stairs before and after.

However, before Yan Siyun's voice fell, he became sudden, and among the tourists who walked down the stairs, one of the inconspicuous old men in gray suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at Yan Siyun, and shouted: "It's her!" ”

Several people were stunned when they heard this, and a group of men of different ages, fat and thin shapes suddenly appeared in all directions at the same time, holding ropes, kitchen knives and other messy weapons, and rushed towards Yan Siyun and Fu Xuechen.

Yan Siyun watched one of them raise a sharp blade and slash at her, screamed, and his figure flashed behind Yu Qi beside him, who also reached out to block her behind him, and kicked the gangster in front of him away.

"Stop! Who are you?! Yu Qi resisted and shouted angrily.

However, instead of being stopped, these people intensified, and shouted crookedly in tongues that others did not understand, as if they were about to kill people.

For a while, Yu Qi was in a hurry, Yan Siyun was clever, retreated again and again, and retreated to Princess Zhiling and Fu Xuechen, and the three girls were crowded into a pile.

Yu Zhen has also joined the battle group, tightly escorting the three girls down the stairs, just hold on for a moment, the guards behind will definitely drive away the crowded and fleeing tourists, and rush to the rescue.

However, there are quite a few gangsters, at most three of them are blocked by Yu Qi in front, and Yu Zhen is stumbling left and right in the back, and he can barely stop four with all his might, especially the three gangsters, including the old man in gray, who sees the stitches and takes advantage of the gap to attack from time to time.

In the blink of an eye, a rope flew in, entangled Yan Siyun and pulled it out.

Seeing it, Yu Qi hurriedly threw out the firewood knife he had just snatched, and the gangster who was wearing the rope hurriedly dodged and let go of the rope in his hand.

Yan Siyun was pulled and wrestled by this rope, his body lost his balance, and hit Fu Xuechen, Fu Xuechen's feet were unstable, and he was staggered two steps by this force, and fell off the stairs with an unbalanced fall, and fell to the shade of the road side.

"Sister Xuechen!" Princess Zhiling screamed in fright.

Yu Zhen couldn't stop the nail rake that stabbed Yan Siyun over there, and flew down, almost rushing to take Fu Xuechen's waist and send her back to Princess Zhiling at the moment she fell.

Fu Xuechen was able to stand firmly, and saw that Yu Zhen couldn't dodge and was scratched on his left arm by a dagger in the hand of a gangster.

Fortunately, Yu Zhen's skills are still good, and he dodged a stick and kicked the gangster who scratched his left arm down the stairs, but at this moment, the old man in gray touched behind him at some point and raised the cane in his hand......

"Back! Be careful! Fu Xuechen hurriedly greeted.

Yu Zhen raised his injured left arm, turned around and snatched the long stick from the gangster's hand, just across his head, and held the crutches of the old man in gray, but under the effort, the wound on his left arm suddenly burst with blood.

Fu Xuechen didn't care about paying attention to Yu Zhen, she was not idle for a moment, while dodging the gangster's attack, she could also protect Princess Zhiling, occasionally stretching out her foot to kick the gangster, if it wasn't for Yan Siyun behind her who suddenly bumped into her, she wouldn't have lost her center of gravity and almost fell down the stairs.

After all, it is a family heirloom martial art that has inherited the original body, although Fu Xuechen only regards his fists and feet as a warm-up exercise every morning, and his martial arts are actually sparsely practiced, but his skills are much more flexible than the daughter of the literati.

It's a long story, in fact, it has only been a short two minutes since the old man in gray suddenly became troubled, and at the bottom of the stairs, the guards finally arrived, and Hulala killed those gangsters, cutting down a piece in the blink of an eye.

Yu Qi also withdrew at this time, protecting Yan Siyun, who was pale but uninjured, and met with Yu Zhen, Princess Zhiling and Fu Xuechen, and retreated to a safe place.

"Leave a few alive!" Zhen Zhen commanded loudly.

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen arrows suddenly flew from the forest, enveloping those gangsters, whether they fell to the ground, gave up resistance, or were still resisting. After a series of screams, all the gangsters were killed by sharp arrows piercing the heart and throat.
