After the "Drunken Maniac" was played, the next piece was "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix". Just then, Xie Xiuchun also came, and the three women gathered together and laughed and talked.
Zhao Pei was still not interested in what happened just now, so she just listened quietly and said little. But Xiao Yuyao acted as if nothing had happened, and listened to Xiuchun's words with great interest.
"Speaking of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he is truly a first-rate hero. I heard that His Royal Highness is extraordinary in every move he makes in the court. He can tell the truth from the false with just one glance, but he is kind to others and has a very high prestige. The ministers all admire him from the bottom of their hearts." Xiuchun suddenly mentioned Xiao Tong and asked with a smile, "Sister, is this true?"
Xiao Yuyao nodded with a smile: "Of course, the prince is the heir to the throne, so he naturally displays the majesty of the royal family. If I think that the most valuable thing about the prince is his kindness, this kind of tolerance is rare in the world. Don't you think so?"
After saying that, he turned his head to look at Zhao Pei on the side.
Zhao Pei forced a smile and nodded, but said nothing.
Xiuchun pursed her lips and said, "Look, Seventh Sister is silent again like an idiot. It's really strange, her temper changes from good to bad."
Xiao Yuyao glared at her and said angrily, "You have a good temper. Aren't you afraid that Third Brother will bother you when you are so enthusiastic?"
Xiuchun smiled and said, "No way." Her confident look made Xiao Yuyao laugh with her hands covering her lips.
Zhao Pei was upset and had no interest in such a conversation. She stood up and said, "Peipei caught a cold last night and feels dizzy. I want to go back and rest early."
Xiao Yuyao glanced at her calmly and said, "Seventh sister, go back and rest early. You must take care of yourself."
She nodded, said nothing more, and walked out respectfully.
It was snowing outside again. Zhao Pei had just come out of the warm palace and couldn't help shivering all over. She tightened her collar and walked out of the door. She kept her eyes down, thinking about something. When she was about to reach the carriage, she looked up and suddenly saw the cold man, and was startled.
He also did not hold an umbrella, but stood motionless beside the carriage. When he heard her scream, he turned around and looked at her with a clear gaze.
"Why are you here?" Zhao Pei asked. Normally, she should be in the mansion at this moment.
"I happened to go into the palace for something and saw your carriage. What did you go into the palace to find the eldest princess for?" Xiao Yi asked her coldly.
I didn't look for her, she looked for me to blame! "It's nothing more than talking about family matters and listening to music. What else can we do." Zhao Pei looked at him with a smile and asked, "How long have you been waiting here?"
Xiao Yi turned away from her and said, "I just got here a while ago."
She said "Oh" and looked at him with a smile, looking him up and down. He was covered in snow, his shoulders and hair were wet. Then she looked at the abrupt dirt under his feet and knew that he had been standing there for more than one or two o'clock. She felt something strange in her heart, and then she smiled and walked forward to hold his hand: "Let's go. Let's go back home."
His hands were very cold, and Zhao Pei subconsciously clenched them.
However, Xiao Yi shook off her hand and got into the carriage.
Zhao Pei looked at him, shrugged her shoulders and pursed her lips as if she couldn't do anything to him, then happily followed him in. (To be continued)
