The news that the prince carried the princess into the sedan chair spread throughout the harem the next day.
"I heard that the Crown Princess suffered some grievances in Mingyue Palace yesterday, but His Royal Highness was heartbroken, so I personally carried the Crown Princess into the sedan chair."
"That's right, that's right, I've also heard that after the prince learned about the accident with the princess, he rushed back to the palace from outside the palace, without resting all the way."
"Tsk, the crown prince's love for the crown princess is really invaluable. It's rare for ordinary couples to have such affection."
"Who says it's not! But then again, it's been half a year since the Crown Princess married into the East Palace, why hasn't her stomach moved?"
"Could it be the body of His Royal Highness...?"
In the palace alley, the little maids sweeping the floor were discussing with envy and emotion.
On the palace wall not far away, Pei Lingbi had a livid face, and sneered coldly, "Just Pei Yan, a sick child who stepped into the loess with half a leg, still wants to have an heir? Hah."
Wearing a royal blue brocade robe, Pei Changzhou stood with his hands behind his back. He knew that Pei Lingbi was humiliated in Mingyue Palace yesterday, and was scolded by his mother after returning home, so these two days have been like eating firecrackers.
He doesn't bother her either, he thinks about his own affairs.
Pei Lingbi talked for a long time and found that there was no response. When she turned her head and saw Pei Changzhou letting go of his thoughts, she became even angrier, "Brother Huang, did you listen to me?"
Pei Changzhou came back to his senses and said, "I'm listening."
Seeing Pei Lingbi staring at him, he coughed and said soothingly, "Okay, yesterday was just a trivial matter, and Xiao Wu is still a child, so he will be nice to whoever feeds him. Compared with you, he is naturally more Towards that woman, Tao Ti."
"That woman is really evil. I didn't know that she had such a way to buy people's hearts. Brother Huang, you didn't see it. Not only Xiao Wu, but also Xiao Liu and Concubine Xu Gui are all towards her. By the way, there is also the father... Even the emperor's attitude towards her has improved a lot!"
"Father has always favored the East Palace." Pei Changzhou said.
"Brother Huang, aren't you afraid?"
"What are you afraid of?"
"Didn't you notice that Pei Yan's spirit is getting better and better? People who used to fall down when the wind blows can now hold women in their arms. That woman Tao Ti is always changing ways to cook for him. He eats food every day. The appetite has increased a lot; in addition, I also heard that Tao Ti took him to practice Baduanjin, and asked the imperial doctor to recuperate him... "
Pei Lingbi said worriedly, "I don't know what's going on. Ever since Tao Ti married into the East Palace, I always feel uneasy. She has really become very different... Brother Huang, haven't you noticed?"
Pei Changzhou's complexion also became heavy, "It's very different."
Pei Lingbi said, "She took the poison that day! I asked the imperial doctor later, and the imperial doctor said that even if the poison was detoxified in time, some of the poison would remain in the body, which would make people weak and even vomit blood." But look at Tao Ti, she is alive and well, and her complexion is better than before... "
Pei Changzhou looked deeply at Pei Lingbi, "Lingbi, what do you want to say?"
"Brother Huang, do you think she is possessed by a ghost?" Pei Lingbi widened her eyes and said the question that had been hidden in her heart for a long time.
Pei Changzhou was stunned. After a while, he frowned and thought about this possibility.
After a while of silence, Pei Lingbi boldly suggested, "Brother Huang, do you think we should find some Taoist priest or some great monk to come and see?"
Pei Changzhou thought for a while, then shook his head, "It's not right. Not to mention that she is now a princess, monks and priests can't get close to her. If we don't make arrangements, we will all suffer if we are beaten up by her and sued to the emperor." "If she is really a ghost, don't all these ghosts suck the yang energy of men, it would be better for her to stay by Pei Yan's side."
Pei Lingbi cursed from the bottom of her heart, "You cowardly bastard", but she didn't show it on the surface, she just said, "Perhaps we can make arrangements according to the situation when the palace is doing something during the Ghost Festival?"
Every year during the Hungry Ghost Festival, Emperor Zhaokang invites Taoist priests to open a dojo in Fengyi Palace to pray for the dead Queen Gu.
Pei Changzhou was noncommittal, and only repeatedly told Pei Lingbi not to act rashly for the time being.
...
In Yaoguang Palace, Tao Ti lay sleepy on the bed for a whole day.
She had a nightmare last night. She dreamed that someone poisoned the food she made, and the poison knocked down a lot of people. Everyone came to blame her. She tried her best to explain, and her voice became hoarse, but they still blamed her.
She burst into tears with aggrievedness, calling for her parents and wanting to go home.
Just when she was helpless, Pei Yan appeared in front of her like a god in a white robe.
He reached out to her and said to take her home.
When she opened her eyes, it was still dark. In the faint light, Pei Yan supported half of her body and looked at her tenderly, her eyes full of concern.
At that moment, she couldn't tell the difference between dreams and reality, she hugged him, closed her eyes and refused to let go.
In the end, it seemed that Pei Yan hugged her and coaxed her to sleep in a gentle voice.
Although knowing about the Fifth Prince was nothing but a false alarm, Tao Ti felt a little unwell—
She didn't want to eat, and she didn't want to eat, she just wanted to lie down quietly.
Seeing that the Crown Princess didn't even eat food, His Royal Highness Yao Guang became anxious even with people and cats.
The palace people put their hopeful eyes on Linglong and urged, "Sister Linglong, can you go and talk to His Highness? The Crown Princess usually likes to eat, and if she doesn't eat or drink now, it's a big deal. !"
Cat Yuanbao, "Meow Meow Meow!"
Linglong struggled again and again, before taking a deep breath, "Okay, then I'll go to Zixiao Palace and talk to His Highness."
At the same time, Zixiao Palace.
After finishing the morning class, Pei Yan remembered Tao Ti's pitiful appearance when she was awakened by a nightmare last night, and her face became a little serious.
When he went to Zhanping with such a serious look, Zhanping thought that something serious had happened, and his heart was hanging, "Your Highness, what happened?"
Pei Yanqingjuan's face was tense, his thick eyebrows were frowned, and he said, "Ah Ping, how do you usually coax your wife?"
Zhan Ping was startled, and still couldn't believe his ears.
When he came back to his senses, there was a little show off between his brows and eyes, and he said softly, "My wife is virtuous and considerate, so I don't need to coax her. But... occasionally, if I give her a piece of jewelry, she can enjoy it for a few days. After a pause, he looked at Pei Yan, "Your Highness, are you... the Crown Princess...?"
Zhan Ping frowned, could it be that the princess is making trouble again? It shouldn't be, she doesn't look like such a petty person. Could it be that the prince bullied the princess
Pei Yan got the reference answer, didn't say any more, raised his hand and patted Zhang Ping's shoulder, and left.
Looking at the tall and straight back of the prince, Zhan Ping was at a loss, what is the situation
…
In the dim afternoon, Tao Ti was lying lazily on the bed to let go of her thoughts, when she suddenly heard a lot of movement outside.
She slowly opened her eyes, and sat up holding the soft pillow. She hadn't got out of bed all day, and she was still wearing the orange-red apron and tea-white silk shirt when she fell asleep.
"Linglong, what's going on outside?" She raised her voice and asked.
And no response.
Tao Ti frowned, and called again, "Linglong?"
This time, there was a sound of footsteps.
After a while, a slender hand gently lifted the smoky pink curtain, and slowly hung it on the golden hook.
Looking at Pei Yan who was wearing a silver-gray brocade robe, Tao Ti was surprised, "Your Highness?"
Pei Yan lowered her eyes and looked at the little girl in thin clothes on the bed. She was covered by darkness at night, so she couldn't be seen in such a dress, but when held in her arms, she would feel that the material on her body was very smooth and soft.
Now it was bright everywhere, she sat lazily on the bed, the tea-white silk shirt was thin and see-through, and she could faintly see the jade-like skin under the material. The orange bellyband is embroidered with camellias, showing a bulging curve, and above it is a long snow-white neck. The black hair hangs behind her back, and there is a strand of unruly hair curled up on the top of her head, adding a bit of cuteness to her. .
Pei Yan's throat moved slightly.
After a while, he looked away, only raised his hand on her head, and smoothed that unruly hair.
Tao Ti stared at him blankly, and asked curiously, "Your Highness, it's still early, why are you here?"
Pei Yandao, "I heard that you don't eat, I was afraid that I would be late and the lady would be hungry, so I hurried here."
Tao Ti heard his teasing, felt a little embarrassed, her eyelashes trembled slightly, "I just didn't eat a meal..."
Pei Yan rubbed her hair and said, "Okay, get up first, I have a gift for you."
Tao Ti, "...?"
Seeing Pei Yan waiting for her with a smile on her face, she couldn't be more coy and nodded, "Okay, I'll get up."
Linglong walked in quickly, with unconcealable excitement and joy on her face, she was secretly having fun while serving Tao Ti to wash and wash.
Seeing her like this made Tao Ti look forward to it, and wanted to go out to see what Pei Yan had given her.
Not long after, she changed into a willow-yellow dress, with a low bun, and walked towards Pei Yan.
Pei Yan put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and held her hand, leading her to the main hall together.
I saw six large boxes neatly placed in the main hall. After they approached, Fu Xirui smiled and motioned for the palace people to open—
Box after box of shiny jewellery, and box after box of gorgeous silk and satin almost blinded Tao Ti's eyes.
She froze in place, did Pei Yan sweep Chang'an East and West Market again
Seeing her silent, Pei Yan walked to her side and asked softly, "Do you like it?"
Tao Ti opened her eyes and turned her face away, with an extremely sincere expression on her fair face, she said with emotion, "Your Highness, you are so rich."
Not to mention Pei Yan, even the palace people in the palace were stunned: Why didn't the princess answer according to common sense!
At this time, shouldn't you be moved to tears, and then throw yourself into the prince's arms and say something like "I like it, I like it very much, Your Highness, you are so kind to me".
Pei Yan narrowed his black eyes, his expression remained calm, he stared at her and said, "If you want to manage the money, I'll give you the key to the warehouse later."
Tao Ti, "Huh?"
After she reacted, she quickly waved her hands, "No, no, no, I just sigh, don't give it to me, I don't care about money."
She is not the Pixiu from the next door, and managing money is not her specialty.
Seeing her avoidance, Pei Yan stopped talking, pointed to the boxes, frowned slightly and said, "Don't you like these?"
Tao Tixin said that I am not a dragon either, and I like shiny jewelry, but she could see that Pei Yan was coaxing her, so she was naturally sweet in her heart.
After thinking about it, she took his hand and led him back to the bedroom.
After making sure that there was no one around, she stood in front of him, with Shui Lingling's eyes flickering, and whispered, "Your Highness, you bend down."
Pei Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and did as he did.
Tao Ti plucked up her courage, stood on tiptoe, stretched out two white and tender arms to hook his neck, raised her head and kissed him quickly.
"Your Highness, thank you." She smiled at him with bright eyes.
Pei Yan's eyes darkened, and he hooked her waist with one hand, and with a little force on his arm, her body was pressed against his arms.
Without giving Tao Ti a chance to react, he suddenly bent down, caught her lips, and kissed her deeply.
Kissing and kissing, Tao Ti's back touched the cold screen, and in front of her was a man's chest as hard as iron. She was like a small beast cornered by a hunter, unable to fight back.
I don't know how long it took before this lingering kiss ended.
Pei Yan held her face, and rubbed her slightly red and swollen lips with slightly callused fingertips. His forehead was pressed against hers, his slender eyelashes covered the surge of desire in his eyes, and he said in a hoarse voice, "You're welcome."
Tao Ti leaned against his arms and gasped lightly, but she wondered in her heart, why did she feel that Pei Yan seemed to be a different person these few times of kissing, and the aggression became more and more intense...
It made her flustered and flustered, and she was a little at a loss.
