By the time everything was over, it was already midnight.
Pei Wenxuan pressed on her, Li Rong was too tired to open her eyes, Pei Wenxuan slowed down for a while, then lowered her head and kissed her forehead, softly saying, "Go to sleep."
Li Rong responded with a nasal voice, and Pei Wenxuan dressed her, took a blanket, and put it on her.
Then he went to the bow of the boat, made some water in a basin, mixed the water boiled in the small stove used for cooking wine into the basin, adjusted the temperature to the right temperature, and boiled the basin again, making the already prepared wine. He took the water back to the cabin, rubbed the handkerchief and wiped Li Rong's face and other places that sweated a lot.
Without opening her eyes, Li Rong felt her body gradually refreshed.
Her voice was a little hoarse, so she was reluctant to speak. Pei Wenxuan was full of food and drink. Although he didn't say anything, he was very happy.
The second pot of water was boiled and then cooled down. He brought it to scrub her. Li Rong wanted to refuse, but she felt that Pei Wenxuan raised her hand and put her hand on her shoulder. After giving a soothing kiss, she said in a low voice. : "No problem, you have a good sleep."
She couldn't fall asleep in this way, and even woke up a little bit more. Li Rong felt her face blushed fiercely, but she didn't want to show weakness, so she raised her hand and covered her eyes with her sleeves, as if she was blocking the light.
After he was clean, Pei Wenxuan got out of the cabin by himself. He seemed to have cleaned his body with lake water, and just listened to the sound of water outside. After a while, he walked back. He lay down beside her and pulled for her. Good quilt, and then took the person into his arms, and said gently: "Don't catch cold."
Saying that, he put his head on her shoulder and cuddled with her.
All the quilts were given to Li Rong, so he wore a single shirt. Fortunately, with the doors and windows closed in the cabin, it was very warm. Li Rong felt that he seemed to be asleep, so she quietly opened her eyes, and when she opened her eyes, she saw him lying across from her, looking at her tenderly with a smile.
Li Rong's face instantly became hot, but she still pretended to be calm: "What do you think I do?"
"I just wanted to see how you fell asleep for a while. Who ever thought of you and peeked at me."
"Who peeked at you?" Li Rong frowned, feeling embarrassed and annoyed by being caught, "I can't sleep and open my eyes, it's also called peeking?"
"Okay," Pei Wenxuan pursed his lips and chuckled, "It's not a peek. Why can't His Highness fall asleep, tell me?"
Li Rong was speechless, how could she say that she was sobered up by his torment? It just happened that something strange happened in her body again. She moved stiffly, and Pei Wenxuan knew what was going on. He restrained himself, did nothing, just walked over, kissed her forehead tenderly, and said in a low voice. The line reassured her: "they will come to pick us up in a while, and you can wash when you go back."
Li Rong could hear the strangeness in his voice, she knew what he was, and she couldn't be arrogant for a while. She blushed and sullenly lowered her head. huh?"
"My fault." Pei Wenxuan resolutely admitted that he was wrong. He felt happy when he heard her complain. He felt as if Li Rong had put him in the most suitable hot spring. No matter what Li Rong said to him at this moment, he felt very good.
The two leaned against each other quietly. In such a quiet place, Li Rong felt sleepy again after a while. She leaned on Pei Wenxuan's hand and leaned against his chest. Gently reassure her.
After a while, Li Rong fell asleep. I don't know how long it was, and she vaguely heard a change in the sound of the water next to her, as if someone was approaching. Li Rong raised her eyelids slightly, and Pei Wenxuan noticed her movement. He pulled the quilt for her and said gently, "Go to sleep first, I'll go take a look."
After speaking, Pei Wenxuan got up, put on his coat and stood at the bow of the boat. When he saw the person he arranged rowing the boat to the side, the person was about to speak. Pei Wenxuan raised his hand to his lips and went to the cabin. He looked in the direction and whispered: "Madam is asleep, you can send it directly to the shore."
The man smiled and nodded, but did not dare to speak.
Pei Wenxuan returned to the cabin and closed the small door again. Li Rong heard him sit beside her and asked vaguely, "What time is it?"
"Yin Shi."
Pei Wenxuan brushed the hair on her face for her, his voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing her: "You sleep all the way, go back to take a bath, it's almost time to go to court."
Li Rong responded in a low voice, and Pei Wenxuan thought for a while: "If I feel uncomfortable, I'll go and take leave with His Majesty."
Li Rong didn't speak, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Pei Wenxuan looked at her, and when he saw her frowning, he seemed to be restless.
In fact, he knew that even if Li Rong didn't say anything at the moment, he would still feel uneasy deep down.
Emotions were his biggest weakness, and he put this weakness in front of his opponents, making Li Rong afraid.
However, she didn't dare to say any more, she took care of his feelings, so she put all her worries in her heart.
Pei Wenxuan raised his hand and touched her hair, thinking about what she was thinking. After a long time, he sighed, leaned down, and kissed her on the forehead gently: "Don't think about it, sleep well, I will Listen to you."
Listening to Pei Wenxuan's words, Li Rong knew that it was his compromise. She slowly opened her eyes and looked up at him with misty eyes, as if she wanted to say something soothing.
But she wouldn't, and she was afraid that she accidentally said something hurtful again. After hesitating for a while, she reached out and grabbed the corner of Pei Wenxuan's clothes.
"Go back and do it again?"
She whispered.
All the ways she could think of to please him were real.
Power, status, money, desire.
Hearing her words, Pei Wenxuan couldn't help laughing and laughing. He was speechless for a moment, and finally he could only say: "Let's keep the accounts first, and then pay it back slowly. But your heart is yours," Pei Wenxuan put on her hair and softened his voice. "I see."
In fact, after confirming her intentions and letting her understand her own thoughts, the so-called method is not important.
After all, what makes Li Rong comfortable is the best.
If a relationship makes her tremble, what is the use of clean and hard work
Pei Wenxuan sat next to Li Rong, watching Li Rong's appearance, watching her snuggle beside him like a cat, and under his comfort, he slowly fell asleep.
Li Rong slept all the way back to the princess' mansion, and Pei Wenxuan covered her with clothes, and carried her back quietly from the carriage to the mansion.
After returning to the mansion, Li Rong stayed in bed for a while, then got up, took a shower, and then followed Pei Wenxuan to the court.
Pei Wenxuan's face was white, but the scratches on his neck could not be concealed. He wore an official robe and waited for Li Rong at the door. When Li Rong came out, he walked up to her with a cold face and respectfully said, "Your Highness."
Li Rong was stunned when she saw that his face was not good, and then she realized that Pei Wenxuan was acting, she quickly adjusted her expression, seemed to be a little guilty, and pulled him in a pleasing manner, "Concubine."
Pei Wenxuan's expression remained still, and he walked out with Li Rong. The two were leaning against each other. From the perspective of others, Pei Wenxuan seemed to be very indifferent, while Li Rong was flattering.
But within the distance that only the two of them could hear, Pei Wenxuan's tone was very gentle: "Are you uncomfortable?"
"It's not giving birth to a child," Li Rong hugged him and leaned against his arm with a smile, "How can it be so delicate? Besides, Master Tuo Pei will take care of him patiently," Li Rong said, as he leaned on the palm of his hand, which was covered by his sleeve. With her little finger, she gently sketched aimlessly and softened her voice, "Compared to the last life, it's much better."
The most important thing about the joy of love is the man's patience.
For the first time in the last life, Li Rong actually didn't have the severe pain as in the legend, it was because of Pei Wenxuan's absolute self-control and patience.
But now Pei Wenxuan is not only patient, but also has accumulated countless experience with her, and restrained properly, even if there is discomfort, it can be ignored for Li Rong.
Pei Wenxuan listened to her praise, his face was as cold as frost, but there was a bit of helplessness in his tone: "Don't cause trouble."
Li Rong lowered her head and chuckled, and no longer provoke him.
The two walked all the way to the palace and got off the carriage. Li Rong wanted to pull Pei Wenxuan, but Pei Wenxuan threw her hand away and walked in directly.
This scene was seen by many officials, and Li Rong showed a bit of embarrassment and embarrassment on her face. She didn't want to stand still, and hurried forward.
For the imperial court, the most important things in March are nothing more than two, imperial examinations and personnel transfer.
Compared with the latter, the weight of the imperial examination is almost negligible. The Ministry of Personnel explained the registration status of this year's students and then withdrew.
When the early morning was over and Pei Wenxuan just walked out of the hall, Li Ming sent someone over and said respectfully, "Master Pei, Your Majesty, please come over."
Pei Wenxuan heard this, saluted respectfully, and followed the eunuch to the imperial study.
Li Rong silently glanced at it, then looked away, turned and walked out of the hall.
As soon as she walked out of the hall, she saw Su Rongqing in front. He was with several officials, holding a wat board in his hand, frowning and giving orders to those officials.
Su Rongqing has a gentle temper when dealing with others, but in reality, he is tough and extremely strict when it comes to business affairs.
I didn't pay attention at the beginning, but now I look carefully, and I found that today's Su Rongqing, compared to the handsome young man she remembered back then, was a bit more ill-tempered between her brows.
Li Rong stood behind him and watched him. Su Rongqing was walking down the steps with other officials, but he vaguely sensed Li Rong's gaze, so when he turned around, he saw Li Rong standing in front of the main hall, staring at him coldly. .
Su Rongqing didn't speak, the wind was blowing gently, blowing the hem of his clothes, he stared at Li Rong's eyes, as if the years were frozen, he walked through the palace gate coldly and long, and gently landed on Li Rong.
In that short-lived look at each other, it seemed like an unconscious distraction, and the officials next to him were a little puzzled by Su Rongqing's silence.
Hearing the call, Su Rongqing saluted Li Rong from a distance, then looked away, turned her head and led the people around her down, as if nothing had happened, and continued, "The key to this case is..."
Li Rong watched him walk away, and after a long while, she smiled mockingly and turned to leave.
And Pei Wenxuan led the eunuch into the imperial study, and Li Ming was practicing calligraphy.
Pei Wenxuan came in and bowed his head respectfully, but the face of a person who was always gentle was a bit more stern.
Li Ming looked up at him without a trace, and practiced his handwriting: "What's going on with your neck? Where did you get it?"
Pei Wenxuan's face was cold, and he said with restraint, "Your Majesty, I was joking with the princess and accidentally scratched."
Li Ming paused, in fact, he also heard news last night that Li Rong went on a cruise and found some good-looking sons to accompany her. Pei Wenxuan took the sword to catch the traitor, and even robbed Li Rong.
After all, this was something he had inquired about in the dark, and it was not easy for him to say it directly, and seeing Pei Wenxuan's face, he should not have been very happy last night.
Li Ming speculated on everything that happened last night, thinking about the possible intentions of Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan's actions.
After all, as soon as he was thinking about it, there was a quarrel here, which seemed a bit too deliberate. But after all, so many things happened last night, the young couple may have really quarreled, but I don't know.
He didn't move his face, pretended he didn't know anything, and said slowly: "Between husband and wife, we must tolerate each other. Pingle is my favorite daughter when I was a child. Maybe it's a bit arrogant, but you don't have to worry about it."
"Yes." Pei Wenxuan knelt on the ground, straightened his body, and answered very calmly.
"I came here to discuss with you about the promotion of the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Your position has risen too fast. If you are promoted in the past, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public." Are you ready to deal with it?"
Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan's expression finally softened, and he respectfully said: "Thank you for your concern, although Wei Chen is not experienced enough, but there are some elders in the personnel department, plus the contacts accumulated in the censor's desk, Your Majesty You can rest assured."
Li Ming observed Pei Wenxuan's expression, and when he saw that he mentioned the official position, he was secretly happy, he kept his face, and continued: "But you are Pingle's consort, and Pingle has offended many people in the court now, and many people in the official department thank you. My family, if you move there, I'm afraid you will suffer. Otherwise," Li Ming seemed concerned, "I will transfer you to the Ministry of Rites, so as not to be blamed, how about that?"
When Pei Wenxuan heard this, his face turned pale.
The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites, even if they were both servants, were completely different. One is a Shimizu civilian, and the other is actually in charge of the promotion of officials.
Pei Wenxuan seemed to be trying to restrain his emotions. Li Ming took the tea from Fulai and said slowly: "You have a deep relationship with Pingle, and she also needs help from her supervisory department. I have also thought about it, why don't you go to the Ministry of Rites. , more time to help her, what do you think?"
When Pei Wenxuan listened to Li Ming's words, his face was extremely ugly, but he still endured it and said respectfully, "Wei Chen thanks Your Majesty for your grace."
"Okay," Li Ming waved his hand, "you go down."
"Wei Chen retire."
After Pei Wenxuan said, he got up. Li Ming looked at the tea leaves in the tea soup and fiddled with the tea bowl leisurely. Pei Wenxuan walked out stiffly. After walking a few steps, Pei Wenxuan stopped and seemed to hesitate for a long time. , suddenly turned around, "bang" and knelt on the ground, quite excited: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen asks Your Majesty to make decisions for Wei Chen!"
Li Ming shook his hand and the tea soup spilled out. He looked up at Pei Wenxuan and frowned, "What do you want to be?"
"Your Majesty," Pei Wenxuan's tone was full of indignation. He looked very calm when he couldn't see the place. He gritted his teeth and restrained his emotions, "Wei Chen wants to reconcile with His Highness Pingle, and I hope His Majesty's kindness is also appreciated. allow!"
Since Li Ming wanted him to step back, he took a big step back.
Li Ming didn't panic, he forced him to panic.
