In the bridal chamber, Liu Lanxin helped the drunk Pei Yusheng to sit down, and asked the maid to bring him hot tea.
There was no one else in the bridal chamber at this time, only the couple, even the maids and servants had left. Under the light, Liu Lanxin was wearing a bright red dowry and looked very lovely, which was the most pitiful moment.
Even though she had a lot on her mind, she was still shy at this moment. When she supported Pei Yusheng, her hands couldn't help but tremble and her face flushed.
Today is her big day, even if something happens, it can't be blamed on her.
"Your Highness, please have some tea first." Liu Lanxin said softly, and personally brought the tea to Pei Yusheng.
Pei Yusheng looked better at this time. He took the tea and drank two sips, then put it down. His eyes fell on Liu Lanxin's face with a bit of scrutiny.
Liu Lanxin's face flushed even more, and she asked in a tender voice: "My Lord...what's wrong with you?"
"What did you think when you first met me?" Pei Yusheng asked in a low voice, staring closely at Liu Lanxin, observing the subtle expressions on her face.
Liu Lanxin was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Pei Yusheng to suddenly ask this at this time. She was panicked because she knew that Pei Yuanjun had randomly found someone to pretend to be her.
"At that time, I felt that the prince... was a dragon among men... was... a good prince." Liu Lanxin chose the answer that was least likely to go wrong. She lowered her head shyly and avoided Pei Yusheng's burning gaze.
This feeling made her uncomfortable. She didn't know what the meaning of Pei Yusheng asking this question at this time. The past was the past, and the present is now. Could it be that Pei Yusheng still likes that fake product
Without her father behind her, she didn't believe Pei Yusheng would be interested in a woman who pretended to be her.
"Do you still remember what I told you before?" Pei Yusheng asked again.
Liu Lanxin panicked. It wasn't her at that time, so how could she know what was said
"Your Highness, it's been so long since the incident happened, why...why are you still asking about it?" Liu Lanxin concealed her displeasure and asked softly.
"This matter is very important. You answered me at that time." Pei Yusheng said seriously. Although his face was still drunk, one could see that there was some clarity in his eyes.
"Your Highness... I have almost forgotten what you are talking about. I have been busy recently and have been watched by the maids in the palace. I basically can't remember what happened at that time. Besides, Your Highness asked me many questions at that time, and I don't know which one you were talking about."
Liu Lanxin decided to tell the truth.
She doesn't know, so she doesn't know how to answer, and may even answer wrong, so it's better to just answer what she can't remember.
Pei Yusheng hadn't mentioned it for such a long time, which showed that it was not a big deal. Since it was not a big deal, it would be fine for her to just say that she had forgotten about it.
Sure enough, Pei Yusheng looked at her and a smile appeared on his face, but it was a little cold: "Have you forgotten about the matter of the auxiliary general's troops when I asked him about it?"
Asking about military affairs is a national affair. It's no wonder that Pei Yusheng looked so strange when he forgot about it.
Liu Lanxin thought about it while choosing her words, with a bitter smile on her face: "I am just a girl in the backyard. I really don't understand these things, and I didn't take them to heart. I forgot about them after I went back. If Your Highness is interested, just ask my father. My father is loyal to Your Highness. If Your Highness asks, my father will definitely answer."
This kind of thing is after her
The hospital didn't care about this kind of thing and postponed it.
Why would she say such a thing at that time? Could this be the real reason why King Jing fell in love with her
This reason made Lan Xin feel very bad. She thought Pei Yusheng fell in love with her at first sight. Even though she was wearing a veil at that time, Pei Yusheng still liked her.
"At that time...Princess Jing answered my questions." Pei Yusheng said slowly.
"At that time... I just answered like this. After all, the relationship between me and the prince was... not that close. I was still wondering why the prince told me such a thing. Could it be that he wanted to ask me something?" Liu Lanxin said softly.
The conversation became more and more fluent and his words became more and more reasonable.
The two of them really had no relationship at the time. Even if Pei Yusheng had intentions, Liu Lanxin did not mean it.
Liu Lanxin didn't take Pei Yusheng's words at that time to heart. It wasn't a big deal. Liu Lanxin felt that both of them had something going on in the past, so it would be better not to say anything.
We are all smart people, and it is not good for anyone to discuss some things too much.
"I heard that Princess Jing didn't like me at that time?" Pei Yusheng suddenly said.
These words were spoken too suddenly and too unexpectedly for Liu Lanxin. She was stunned for a moment and could hardly believe that Pei Yusheng would say such words on their wedding night.
These words... hurt feelings, don't you think King Jing understands
"Your Highness, I have been at the border before, and I have seen people from the border. They are too straightforward, so father deliberately kept me for a few more years. It is also because I am not smart enough and don't understand many things. There are some things that should not be done, but I did them when I didn't understand, which caused a lot of gossip."
Liu Lanxin said tactfully.
She had previously fallen in love with Pei Yuanjun. Others might not know about this, but Pei Yusheng must have known about it, so she attributed it to her youth and ignorance.
Because I was young and ignorant, I did some inappropriate things. In fact, I was not really in love with anyone, it was just a rumor.
Since she couldn't deny that thing, she found a suitable reason to explain it.
Isn't Pei Yusheng himself not clean? Wasn't Liu Jingyu, whom he wanted to marry, snatched away by the prince in the end
With the above two points, Liu Lanxin really feels that this kind of thing should not be talked about too much. Everyone knows it well, so why talk about it at this time and make everyone unhappy.
Pei Yusheng's face darkened, and he looked indeed unhappy, his eyes even a little gloomy, and he slowly swept over Liu Lanxin, as if he wanted to see her clearly.
This feeling made people uncomfortable. Liu Lanxin tightened the handkerchief in her hand, feeling inexplicably uneasy, which made Pei Yusheng feel a little breathless.
I couldn't help but stammer: "Prince..."
"Do you know what happened today?" Pei Yusheng suddenly asked, changing the subject.
This topic made Liu Lanxin's heart beat twice more. She put her hands on the table and looked a little more cautious. "Your Highness, the maid next to me just came to report that something happened before. It was about the item given by the Queen Mother... Who is looking down on our Jing Palace again?"
He didn't mention Liu Jingyu directly, but just tied Pei Yusheng and her together.
Pei Yusheng's eyes swept across the corners of her lips, and he could see that she was a little nervous. Compared to her impatience just now, Liu Lanxin at this moment looked like the real her.
So, this matter has something to do with her
Pei Yusheng's eyes darkened a little.
He doubted things that he had never doubted before, so should he be more doubtful about some things? He wanted to marry a strong helper, not a drag...
He could ignore what happened in the past, but he couldn't...
"Do you understand the meaning of the Queen's gift of the jade ruler?" Pei Yusheng asked seriously.
"Your Highness, I understand what the Queen meant. You are the Royal Concubine's biological son. How could the Queen give me good things?" When Liu Lanxin thought of the jade ruler bestowed by the Queen, the smile on her face could not be maintained. There were no outsiders around at the moment, and this matter made her angry and concerned.
"Is the Queen doing this because of me?" Pei Yusheng asked, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.
"Your Highness..." Liu Lanxin became uneasy.
"You did so many things one after another. Not to mention the Queen, even your mother thinks you have gone too far. You will be the Princess of Jing in the future, and the Queen's wife. You can only accept whatever she says, does, or scolds you. This is the capital, a place that is most particular about rules. If what you learned before is not in accordance with the rules, you can learn it again."
Pei Yusheng spoke slowly, enunciating each word.
These words almost slapped Liu Lanxin in the face.
Not only the Queen, but even Concubine He was dissatisfied with her, because she was also the Queen's wife, and she had to endure whatever happened in the future. When she was at the border, she didn't learn anything good, and she didn't follow the rules...
The meaning of these few sentences was clear. He did not stand on her side, nor did he comfort her. He just said these slapping words to her.
Liu Lanxin's pale face flushed red. At this moment, she thought Pei Yusheng should be more considerate and gentle. She never thought that Pei Yusheng would actually say such words.
This almost means that she is not in accordance with the rules and does not understand the rules.
Liu Lanxin asked herself if she had always been acting according to the rules. What she had learned in the past were all the etiquette in the palace. She was only better than the young ladies from the aristocratic families in the capital. There was nothing that violated the rules and etiquette. Even the previous Ji Hanyue was no better than her. Everyone only spoke well of Ji Hanyue, but who knew that she was also brought up according to these rules.
Her father had made it clear to her, and her goals were clear.
Marry into the royal family, for the supreme position of that woman.
By marrying Pei Yusheng, Liu Lanxin felt that she was marrying down. If it weren't for Pei Yuanjun's attitude, if it weren't for Pei Yuanjun's marriage, if it weren't for Pei Yusheng's performance all along, not only to her but also to her father, she would never have married him.
Even if she entered the Eastern Palace, it would be better than Prince Jing's Mansion. Even if she had Liu Jingyu, even if she temporarily entered the Eastern Palace as a concubine, she could still make plans. As long as her father was there, her future would surely be high and mighty. No woman in the capital was as noble as her.
But what is it now? Is this because he is not satisfied with her
Liu Lanxin suppressed the anger in her heart. She knew that this was not the time to be angry. "Your Majesty, I am married into the palace, so I should follow your instructions in everything I say and do. If there is anything I have done incompletely, please let me know."
She said this to ease the tension between the two of them, and was very polite. Unexpectedly, Pei Yusheng replied, "Then tell me what happened today. What happened?"
Pei Yusheng looked at her, his eyes dark and unclear...
