As the sun set in the west, the twilight came quietly, and the gorgeous sunset glow in the sky gradually dimmed, turning into a deep ochre, and a few tiny stars lit up.
Zixiao Palace.
Gu Feng wore a black robe as usual, and reported the news of the Zhou family recently with a serious expression. In the end, his face tightened a little, and he scoffed disdainfully, "It seems that Zhou Hou is really in a hurry. Xu Wenhe's little grandson made an attack to blackmail Xu Wenhe. Fortunately, Your Highness, you have anticipated such an event and asked your subordinates to set up defenses early, otherwise... "
Otherwise, the child would have been murdered long ago.
Pei Yan slowly picked up the teacup, and gently blew away the floating powder on the tea, a cold smile appeared on his handsome face, and he said unhurriedly, "It's good if you are in a hurry, and you will make mistakes if you are in a hurry. She's in no rush."
Although His Highness always looked calm and relaxed in the past, but this time Gu Feng saw that His Highness's complexion was much better, and there was a very natural lightness between his eyebrows and eyes.
Gu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, his stern face softened a little, and he said with a smile, "Your Highness, has something happy happened recently."
Without waiting for Pei Yan to answer, he guessed first, "Could it be that the Crown Princess has good news?"
For Pei Yan, Gu Feng is not only a subordinate, but also a good teacher and helpful friend.
Hearing his question, he curled the corners of his mouth and smiled gently, "Not yet, but it shouldn't be far away."
Gu Feng's eyes lit up, he cupped his hands with a smile and said, "The subordinates were unable to get a glass of wedding wine during His Highness's wedding, so the subordinates must drink the wedding wine from Donggong Tianding."
Pei Yan smiled and said hello.
The two chatted about a cup of tea again, and Fu Xirui asked for instructions outside, "Your Highness, someone from the Crown Princess asked if you would like to have dinner at Yaoguang Palace tonight?"
Gu Feng naturally knew the fun, and said with a smile, "The Crown Princess is waiting for His Highness to eat, so the subordinate will leave first."
Pei Yan nodded, "Alright."
After he briefly explained a few words, Gu Feng followed the wind and sneaked into the night, never to be seen again.
When Pei Yan arrived at Yaoguang Hall, Tao Ti was lying lazily on the beauty couch, eating cherries with sugar cheese with a face of enjoyment.
The warm yellow light passes through the lampshade, and when it shines on the body, it becomes more gentle and hazy. She was lying on her stomach, her waist was covered with a soft snow blanket, her upper body was propped up, and her curves looked graceful and undulating from behind. The two fair feet were covered with loose bed socks, and two delicate and beautiful double-petaled begonias were embroidered on both sides of the socks.
The plump red cherries are placed in a delicate crystal bowl, topped with a layer of milky white and mellow cheese, and a layer of sweet cane syrup, which makes the taste of this cherry even more sweet and fragrant.
Tao Ti took one bite at a time, and there were already a lot of cherry stems on the leftover small plate.
Pei Yan intentionally lightened his steps and approached slowly, never thinking that he would still make some noise. When he approached, Tao Ti turned her head and glanced, her black eyes were full of joy and radiance, "His Royal Highness, you can count back!" gone."
"Sorry, there are government affairs delays today." Pei Yan walked to her side and sat down, picked her up from the beauty's couch skillfully, and embraced her.
Tao Ti nestled in his arms, took a cherry and fed it to his mouth, "The cherries poured in sugar cheese are delicious, please try it, Your Highness."
Pei Yan lowered her eyes, looked at her tender and soft hand, ate the plump red cherry, and praised her well.
Tao Ti said that these fresh fruits were sent by Xu Wenchan today, and got up from his arms, took her hand and walked to the dining table, "I also made several fresh foods today, Your Highness, you can't miss it .”
When he first saw durian stewed chicken, durian meat, durian crisps, and durian glutinous rice cakes, Pei Yan raised his thick eyebrows, rejecting them in his heart.
But in the end, he still couldn't stand the little girl's acting like a baby, so he tried a bite or two, and found that it was not as difficult to accept as he imagined.
I can't say I particularly like it, but I don't particularly dislike it either.
On the other hand, when Tao Ti was eating durian glutinous rice cakes, he didn't know where the impulse came from, so he leaned over and snatched half from her mouth.
Tao Ti was dumbfounded.
At first, I was shocked, and then my face turned red, and when I realized it, my eyes widened, with an expression of "you are so brave"!
He dared to snatch food from Taotie's mouth, it was too much!
"There are so many here, why are you robbing me?" Tao Ti was puffed up, staring at him sadly like an angry hamster.
"Your food is delicious."
Pei Yan's eyes were clear and open, and he didn't feel anything wrong at all.
Tao Ti, "..."
She was going to be angry, and she wanted to show this man what would happen if he snatched food from her mouth!
So, when Pei Yan picked up a piece of cherry to eat, she also quickly moved over and snatched half of it from his mouth.
However, before she could be proud for a second, the man held the back of her head and kissed her directly.
Tao Ti, "!!!"
The cherries fell down, and she took a mouthful of crumbs, and the corner of her mouth was stained with cherry jam, some of which still fell on her skirt.
Pei Yan squinted her beautiful peach blossom eyes, and the darkness in her eyes was surging, but her tone was serious and gentle, "Look at how careless you are, you've fallen on your clothes."
Seeing him slapping her head, Tao Ti glared at him with her round eyes, "Obviously it's you..."
"Okay, blame me." He admitted his mistake quickly, "I'll dust it off for you."
Pei Yan lowered her head, her long eyelashes cast a deep shadow, and her slender fingers lightly rested on her skirt.
Dusting, his fingers reached into the skirt of the clothes, touching a piece of warm softness.
His Adam's apple slid up and down, and his eyes became dangerous.
"You you you you..." Tao Ti froze, her wet eyes covered with surprise and bewilderment.
How could he be so bold, so meng lang.
The palace people in the palace were dismissed early on, Pei Yan liked to be alone with her, and felt that the palace people were in the way.
Tao Ti wanted to hide, but the man saw her intention, hooked her waist preemptively, and pulled her into his arms.
"You only have half of your dinner..." She stammered, her legs clenched subconsciously. Since the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he hasn't let her rest for a night.
This person looks at the fairy air and does not touch the wind and moon, but who would have thought that he is extremely lustful in private.
But every time they make out, she is always tossed to death without any posture, but he always has that gentle and beautiful appearance. Even when he climbed to the top, the corners of his eyes were red and full of lust, which was very beautiful, like a fairy who was bewitched by a witch and fell into the mortal world.
Consciousness returned, Pei Yan's warm palm was on her waist, separated by a thin layer of fabric, he gently licked the remaining cherry sauce at the corner of her mouth, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's very sweet."
Tao Ti's jet-black hair was hanging down, her fair cheeks were dyed blush, soft and seductive, her two white and tender hands were still pressed against his hard chest, a little passive, and she didn't know what to say.
This man is too smart and sensitive. These days and nights, he already knows her sensitivity well.
With just a few simple movements, he controlled her tightly.
I won't be able to eat this meal for a while.
Linglong and Fu Xirui, who were guarding outside the hall, were a little dazed when they heard the whimpers coming from inside.
Aren't you eating? How did it become like this.
Fu Xirui coughed lightly, and said, "Your Highness is young, and it's time for you to be full of energy."
Linglong was embarrassed and couldn't answer the conversation, so she just said "Then I'll get someone to prepare hot water first", and walked away quickly.
This night, the water was changed twice, a beauty couch, and a new set of sheets were also exchanged.
The next day, when it was just dawn, it began to rain, and the sweet-scented osmanthus fell to the ground.
The rain was not heavy, but it lingered for four or five days, and the weather cooled down.
"It's said that there is an autumn rain and a cold one. After this rain, it probably won't be hot anymore." Holding a cup of longan red dates eight-treasure tea, Linglong walked around the screen and walked in.
Tao Ti looked at the hibiscus flowers outside the window in a daze for a while, then remembered something, and murmured softly, "Qinghe's little days should be gone, I don't know what she is doing now, I haven't seen her for several days She, miss her."
In the past, Qinghe would come to Yaoguang Palace to play with her, so this time he would also go to Qinghe's place to sit and sit.
After Tao Ti drank the eight-treasure tea in twos and twos, she got up from the couch, took two cans of honey pomelo tea she made, and went straight to Yuming Hall.
I never thought that when I first arrived at Yuming Palace, I was in vain—
The palace people said that Princess Jingyang had left the palace with Princess Qinghe early in the morning.
Tao Ti only thought that the mother and daughter had gone to the Xianliang Pavilion to look for Mr. Xie, and didn't think much about it. She left the honey grapefruit tea and went back to the Yaoguang Hall.
At the same time, Ding Bei Hou Mansion.
The atmosphere in the flower hall was tense and depressing. Princess Jingyang sat on the top seat, her graceful face was not too emotional. Although she didn't say a word, the aura around her was not to be underestimated.
After pondering for a long while, she squinted her beautiful eyes, stared at the clear and handsome Xu Guangji in front of her, and said solemnly, "Are you really thinking about it?"
Xu Guangji nodded with a solemn expression, "Yes."
Princess Jingyang looked at Mrs. Dingbei Hou who was sitting on the side, "Mrs. Hou, do you agree with this matter?"
Mrs. Dingbeihou clutched the handkerchief tightly, her hands trembled uncontrollably, she couldn't bear it in a thousand ways, but she still obeyed her son's wishes, gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, he insists on this, and it's useless for my wife to say more."
"What about Ding Beihou, what did he say?"
"My Lord Hou has a bad temper, so he's ready for a moment. I'll keep this matter from him for the time being. When the county magistrate gets married into the mansion, it's a done deal. Then my wife will explain to Lord Hou slowly." Mrs. Hou squeezed out a touch of reluctance. Smiling, "Princess, don't worry, as long as the county lord and Qilang couple love each other, Lord Hou will be angry for a while, and everything will be fine after a while."
Princess Jingyang hummed softly, then nodded to the big palace lady beside her, "Bring it out."
The maid of honor opened the mahogany carved food box, and brought out a bowl of decoction that was still warm.
Madam Dingbeihou's complexion changed, and she said in astonishment, "Princess, you are..."
Princess Jingyang glanced at her indifferently, "Didn't you say that you are ready? It is better to hit the sun than to choose a day. Let's drink today. After drinking, we can sit down and discuss the marriage without any worries."
Mrs. Dingbeihou held her breath tightly in her chest, angry, annoyed and helpless.
She was angry, but she couldn't blame the princess. After all, the princess didn't put a knife on Qilang's neck to force him to drink or marry him.
It's my son's determination, he won't let go of a woman when he sees it!
Marquis Dingbei clutched his chest, staring at Xu Guangji, resisting the urge to overturn the bowl of soup, and silently recited "children have their own blessings, let him choose" over and over again in his heart.
Xu Guangji stood upright, and took the bowl of soup steadily, probably because he had made up his mind, and his hands did not tremble at all.
The decoction was pitch-black, and one could smell a strong bitter taste when one got close.
Holding the soup bowl, he fixed his black eyes on the eldest princess, "Eldest princess, after drinking this soup, you will promise me the county master, right?"
Princess Jingyang's eyes moved slightly, she pursed her lips, "Yes."
Xu Guangji, "Okay, keep your word."
After finishing speaking, he picked up the decoction and put it in his mouth.
At that moment, Mrs. Dingbeihou turned pale and closed her eyes, unable to bear to look any further, hot tears fell down.
A clear and urgent voice suddenly sounded from behind the rosewood carved begonia screen, "No!"
Hearing this voice, Xu Guangji stopped holding the soup bowl and swallowed it.
A slender, bright white figure rushed over and knocked the medicine bowl in his hand to the ground.
Xu Guangji was in a daze, and when he fixed his eyes again, there was Qinghe with tears streaming down his face.
She didn't care about that much, she stood on her tiptoes and held his face, "Quick, spit it out! Hurry up!"
She jumped hurriedly.
But Xu Guangji stood there dumbfounded, thinking all over his head: She touched me, she hugged my face, her fingers are so soft, but cold, I really want to cover her.
