Xiao Ji was planning to watch the show, but Zhao Pei suddenly mentioned him. He was stunned for a moment and pointed at himself: "Me? I'm already halfway through the full moon."
This caused everyone to laugh, and Xiao Gang jokingly said, "Eighth brother, you have a family now, why are you still making such a fuss?"
Zhao Pei moved the corners of her mouth and looked at Xiao Ji with a smile. But Xiao Ji was sure that she was not smiling in her heart. No matter how he looked at her, he couldn't explain it.
Zhao Pei walked in front, Xiao Ji followed behind, and the two of them left Luorui Hall through the side door and stood by the waterside pavilion. She smiled faintly and turned to look at him, without saying a word.
Xiao Ji got goose bumps from such a strange look and said quickly: "Seventh Sister-in-law, if you have something to say, just tell me, don't be like this..." Is it okay to scare people
She smiled lightly and lowered her eyes, as if she was having trouble speaking. After thinking for a while, she asked, "Have you ever thought about Zhao Li, Eighth Brother?"
"Zhao Li?" Xiao Ji was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, his face slightly embarrassed: "What do you mean, Sister Seven?"
Zhao Pei raised her eyes to look at him, and chanted slowly: "I want to think about my feelings. But the old days are gone. I hope you are well and forget that there was someone who stayed with you under the moon." Xiao Ji's body stiffened slightly when he heard this, and then he tilted his head and looked back at her with a little doubt: "Sister-in-law Qi, do you have the leisure to ask me to recite poems?"
"This is what Zhao Li asked me to tell you." Zhao Pei sighed softly, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
Xiao Ji's smile gradually faded, and he turned to look at the bright moon among the stars. The moonlight was bright and beautiful. Then he looked at Zhao Pei again and smiled: "Then please ask Seventh Sister-in-law to help me pass a message to Zhao Li. Thinking about the past is too much, and it only makes me sad. I can only sigh that she and I are not destined to be together. I hope she is well and doesn't miss me anymore."
The words were sincere and heartfelt, but the tone and expression were totally different. Zhao Pei frowned and saw him smiling calmly, which made her feel annoyed. He could recite such words so fluently. I wonder how many girls he had said this to.
She suddenly felt wronged, wronged for Zhao Li. She was a young girl who had been in love with Zhao Li, but she had entrusted her love to the wrong person.
"Eighth brother, Peipei. Why are you here?" A cold voice came from behind. Zhaopei looked back angrily and saw that it was Xiao Yi. He stared at her with a gloomy face and displeasure. "Zhen'er is alone in the hall."
Zhao Pei softened her voice and responded, "I'll go right away." She glared at Xiao Ji who was standing there. She glared at him again and again but he didn't say a word. After all, what could she say to him
Xiao Yi watched her leave with a huff. He raised his brows slightly and looked at Xiao Ji inquiringly. He just shrugged and smiled bleakly, then slowly lowered his eyes and said nothing more.

Zhao Pei returned to Luorui Pavilion and fell into a state of excitement again. She looked around for Zhen'er, but before she found her, she heard her "chuckle". She followed the sound and saw Zhen'er being surrounded and teased by the princes of the Xiao family, while she was in Xiao Tong's arms, laughing happily. Zhao Pei felt a slight headache, and she rubbed her forehead and saw Zhen'er happily in Xiao Tong's arms, grabbing his clothes and pulling them back and forth.
I can't tell, this girl doesn't look naive at all, and she's still so...
Xiao Tong looked at her with a smile, and stretched out his hand to let her play with his fingers. His eyes were full of light, flickering with some indescribable emotions. Xiao Gang and others around him also wanted to hug her, but this girl just stayed in Xiao Tong's arms and refused to leave, shaking her lips, shaking her head, and her eyes were red with tears. The killer move...
Zhao Pei's eyes twitched. This child...
Xiao Yi slowly came over and stood next to her, chuckling: "Why don't you go and bring Zhen'er back? Why let her suffer there?"
Zhao Pei finally reacted and walked over quickly. Xiao Tong looked up at her and smiled gently, "Seventh sister, Hanzhen is such a cute child."
"Of course." Zhao Pei was not modest at all, and smiled as she stretched out her hands to hug her. Zhen'er twisted her body and was still unwilling to leave Xiao Tong's arms. Zhao Pei's face was a little embarrassed, she didn't even want to kiss her mother? This girl... deserves to be beaten. Zhen'er, however, laughed heartlessly. The people around laughed and said, "It seems that the seventh sister needs to teach Han Zhen a lesson, for not giving face to mother."
Xiao Tong smiled and carefully passed Zhen'er in his arms to her: "Seventh sister."
Zhao Pei turned sideways to take her into his arms, but the girl twisted her body and grabbed Xiao Tong's sleeve with one hand and Zhao Pei's arm with the other. They were both surprised, and they both swayed and couldn't stand still because of her weak strength. Zhao Pei leaned against him, and a faint fragrance entered her nose. She leaned against him and could clearly feel his breath. This feeling was just like a long time ago.
She quickly lowered her eyes to hide the emotion in her eyes and hugged Zhen'er tightly. Xiao Tong gently supported her shoulders and helped her stand steadily. Zhao Pei didn't dare to look up at him, staring at Zhen'er's heartless and innocent smile, and said, "Brother, please forgive me, this child is just so naughty."
"All children are like this." He chuckled, patted Zhen'er's body, raised his head and looked in the direction of Xiao Yi, "Okay, go quickly."
Zhao Pei nodded, patted Zhen'er's butt lightly and walked towards Xiao Yi. Zhen'er quickly reached out to Xiao Yi to hold her, but Xiao Yi pinched her nose with a smile and didn't hug her, but just said to Zhao Pei lightly: "Let Zhen'er pick out some toys."
Zhao Pei then remembered the highlight of this full moon banquet. Although the game of grabbing the week is only played when the baby is one year old, Zhao Pei didn't care about it when she was interested. She said excitedly that she wanted to practice it first and try her hand.
Everyone came to the table, and on the round table covered with red satin were various objects: strings, brushes, jade flutes, rouge, chess pieces, folding fans, books, jade hairpins, and even swords. Zhao Pei smiled and carried Zhen'er to the table, letting her pick what she liked.
It was out of Zhao Pei's selfishness that she placed the jade flute in the place closest to Zhen'er.
Zhen'er was very smart and had learned to crawl, but not very skillfully. She crawled slowly and unsteadily. Zhao Pei and Xiao Yi stood side by side behind her, quietly watching where she crawled.
As expected, Zhen'er slowly crawled towards the Yuxiao closest to her and held it in her palm. Zhao Pei's tightly clenched hands loosened, and she looked up at Xiao Yi with a smile. However, Xiao Yi did not look at her, and his eyes were always fixed on Zhen'er. She was puzzled and looked at him in panic amid the exclamations. Zhen'er, who was crawling on the table, picked up all the things on the table one by one, held them in her arms and laughed happily.
Zhao Pei opened her mouth and stared, her ears filled with the voices of exclamations and congratulations from the crowd: "This girl will be a versatile person and a legend in the future." She only saw Zhen'er turning around and laughing with her mouth open, her arms bulging and the table empty.
She stroked her forehead, her mind feeling dizzy. "Qi Fu, I don't think this child is mine..." (To be continued)
