Chapter Three (Part 1)

Yan Shi Ning fled from Pei Jin the moment the crown prince left.

Pei Jin stared at the back of Yan Shi Ning’s figure for a while and reminisced about the past.

‘Little brother, what are you thinking about?’ Pei Zhang asked.

‘Seventh brother, I’m admiring the palace gardens,’ Pei Jin said. ‘It looks like a heavenly landscape.’

‘Looks like a mortal landscape,’ Pei Zhang said.

Pei Jin didn’t refute his seventh brother.

Pei Zhang glanced at Yan Shi Ning’s back. ‘Little brother, do you know about our little brother and the younger Lady Yan?’

‘I recently returned from Southern Jiang,’ Pei Jin said. ‘Seventh brother, what has been happening in the imperial city while I was away?’

‘Little brother, you’ll be drinking celebratory wine at their wedding early next year,’ Pei Zhang said.

‘Truly?’ Pei Jin asked. ‘What good news.’

Pei Jin’s smiling face made Pei Zhang’s eyes itched.

‘Good news indeed for the crown prince,’ Pei Zhang said. ‘With Yan Jing’s support, the crown prince can sleep higher and more carefree.’

‘Prime Minister Yan is reputed to be a resourceful and diligent court official, who he supports will certainly become more influential,’ Pei Jin said.
