Li Rong slept in a daze for a while, she raised her hand to touch her face unintentionally, and then she suddenly thought of something in her half-awake and half-dream, and suddenly woke up and sat up!
No, she hasn't taken off her makeup yet, and if she goes to sleep like this, she will definitely have sores on her face.
This fright made her instantly awake, and the moment she took a nap gave her strength. She was about to get out of bed when she noticed a person sleeping beside her, Pei Wenxuan lying on the quilt, sleeping soundly.
Li Rong was stunned for a while, she never thought that Pei Wenxuan actually got on her bed, it could be seen that this person was really tired, otherwise, with his temperament, it would be impossible to do such a rude thing to death.
Pei Wenxuan slept so comfortably, the soothing breathing made Li Rong a little sleepy, she quickly slapped Pei Wenxuan on the body and called Pei Wenxuan: "Pei Wenxuan!"
Pei Wenxuan sat up abruptly and said in shock, "What's the matter?!"
Li Rong raised her hand to hold his face, turned his face in her direction, stared at Pei Wenxuan and said, "We haven't washed up yet, there is still water in the clean room, so hurry up and take a shower."
Pei Wenxuan was stunned for a while. After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and said helplessly: "Your Highness, it's so late, so don't bother?"
Li Rong has been eating well and sleeping soundly recently, and she just slept for a while, and she could immediately regain her fighting power, but Pei Wenxuan had almost never slept well since she had parted with Li Rong in the waterside a few days ago. , Have a good night's sleep, and then wake him up for a while, it's more uncomfortable than not sleeping.
But how could Li Rong take care of him
She only thought about it. The two of them wore dresses for a day, and Pei Wenxuan also put on makeup today. If they didn't wash them, they would not only be covered in sweat, but also get facial sores. How could she be ruined by such a thing? And Pei Wenxuan is also the person she wants to watch every day. It would be a pity if that fairy face was ruined by a few sores.
So she squeezed Pei Wenxuan's face and stared at him: "Pei Wenxuan, are you still a man?"
As soon as Pei Wenxuan heard her question, he knew she was going to toss, and he covered his face with his hands in pain, and fell to the side with a wailing: "I'm not, Your Highness, you will send me to the palace tomorrow for castration, I'm sleepy… "
Before he could finish speaking, he was violently thrown out by Li Rong and rolled down.
Pei Wenxuan lay on the ground holding the quilt, Li Rong stepped down from the bed, looked down at him, and said, "Go to the clean room to clean yourself, don't blame me for cleaning you up before I come back."
Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan curled up on the ground with the quilt, feeling rather aggrieved.
"Your Highness, the water is cold."
"You're hot." Li Rong put on her coat and looked at him with disgust, looking at him like a fool, "Wouldn't it be better if you cover the water?"
Saying that, Li Rong gently kicked him: "Hurry up."
After Li Rong finished speaking, she flipped her hair back and opened the door.
The maid guarding the door of the room hurriedly came up with the lantern and said respectfully, "Your Highness."
"Let someone prepare, I'm going to take a bath in Yuquantang."
Hearing this, the maids looked at each other, seemed to understand something, pursed their lips and smiled: "Yes."
Regarding the fact that Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan were going to get up in the middle of the night to take a bath, the Princess Mansion seemed to be well prepared. There was a natural hot spring in the Princess Mansion, and a bathroom was specially built. When Li Rong went in, everyone was ready. After changing Li Rong's clothes , waited on Li Rong into the soup pool.
Li Rong lay in the soup pool and rested with her eyes closed. One of the maids next to her helped her remove her makeup, while the other helped her clean her hair with soap horns, and massaged her scalp carefully.
Li Rong enjoyed lying inside, listening to Jingmei who was removing her makeup and said with a smile, "How is your Highness feeling today?"
"How do you feel?"
Li Rong didn't react for a while, the maid next to her laughed secretly, Li Rong reacted immediately, she was a little helpless, these maids around her, although not married, knew a lot.
But she couldn't tell them the truth, she could only perfunctory: "It's good."
"The concubine should be very gentle, right?"
Jinglan pressed Li Rong's scalp, and suddenly came this sentence, Li Rong was a little strange: "Why do you care about this?"
When she asked this, everyone laughed again.
"His Royal Highness," Jingmei said with a smile, "we have been waiting just now. I thought that the concubine would come to Yuquan Tang, but I didn't expect that it was you who came over and left the concubine in the clean room."
Li Rong: "..."
Li Rong was a little embarrassed for a while, she didn't even know whether it was Pei Wenxuan who was in poor health or her health was too good.
Fortunately, all the girls here are unmarried girls. She coughed lightly and said casually: "It's not as exaggerated as you think. The plumbing is warm here, don't ask so much, give me that bath bean."
Li Rong's attempt to cover up made everyone laugh, but everyone didn't say anything.
When Li Rong returned to the room, Pei Wenxuan had already washed it, and he had the water in the room changed, but because his bathing time was shorter, when Li Rong came back, he was sitting cross-legged on the bed and wiping his hair.
Li Rong walked into the door. He looked up and said nothing. He lowered his head and continued to wipe his hair.
The maid closed the door behind, and Li Rong walked over to the bed. Pei Wenxuan's movements became a little stiff. Li Rong sat down beside the bed. Pei Wenxuan quickly got up and wanted to leave. Li Rong raised her hand and pressed it on the bed rail. Blocking Pei Wenxuan's way out, he said indifferently, "Sit down, I have something to talk to you about."
"It's late at night now..."
Seeing that Li Rong's face was not very good, Pei Wenxuan forced a smile: "Would you like to sleep first?"
"The hair is not dry yet." Li Rong moved her legs to the bed, and she was lying on the side of the bed, leaning against the bedpost to block Pei Wenxuan's way, Pei Wenxuan sat back on his knees, took a deep breath and said: "I can get out of bed and talk."
"I want to talk to you in bed."
"No..." Pei Wenxuan stammered, "Not good?"
"You're already sitting here, what else is there? What are you doing so nervously?" Li Rong looked him up and down and leaned over, "Do you think you've done something wrong?"
When Li Rong leaned over, she rushed over with a fragrance, and Pei Wenxuan was so frightened that he hurried back, and the whole person was in a hurry to breathe.
Li Rong was close to him, Li Rong stared at him, he looked at Li Rong pretending to be calm, and after a while, Li Rong smiled lightly. Yan Li raised her hand gently and brushed his hair behind her ear: "Don't be afraid," she lengthened her voice, her usual soft and cold voice, but at this moment in Pei Wenxuan It sounded like she was wearing a hook, and then her hand stopped on his face, and before Pei Wenxuan lost his mind, she suddenly patted his face, "Frankly, be lenient, Ben Gong is generous. very."
This shot made him awake a little bit. He hurriedly retracted his mind, sat upright, and calmly said, "What does Your Highness want Wei Chen to confess?"
"What's the matter with Su Rongqing?" Li Rong stared at him, "I'm getting married, you asked him to pick me up, are you mocking me?"
"His Royal Highness," Pei Wenxuan said without squinting, "could you speak away from me?"
"If I stay away, will you answer me?"
Pei Wenxuan was silent, Li Rong took his acquiescence, straightened up, changed a slightly elegant posture, and knelt down opposite Pei Wenxuan.
The husband and wife sat kneeling across the bed, Li Rong staring at Pei Wenxuan, Pei Wenxuan lowered his eyes, after hesitating for a moment, he organized the language and said, "I just hope that you can be happier. ."
"I'm getting married," Li Rong banged on the bed with a fan and said angrily, "You asked Su Rongqing to pick me up, who are you humiliating?! You still want me to be happy?!"
"You just don't have fate with him," Pei Wenxuan raised his head and looked at Li Rong seriously, "I didn't have a suitable opportunity in the last life. In this life, you can have it, right?"
Li Rong was a little surprised when she heard Pei Wenxuan's words. She paused for a long time, feeling as if she understood every word of Pei Wenxuan's words, but she still didn't understand what he meant.
"Can you," Li Rong frowned, "in a language I can understand, tell me what you're thinking about?"
"I mean, in this life, you can come back with Su Rongqing."
"Why should I come back?" Li Rong asked subconsciously.
"Because you love him." Pei Wenxuan answered seriously.
"I... I love him?" Li Rong stuttered at Pei Wenxuan. She grabbed her fan and said blankly, "I... how come I don't know?"
"You have been with him for twenty-five years," Pei Wenxuan lowered his eyes, "I see it all. He treats you very well and protects you very well. When you are with him, you are very happy, Even in this life, when you see him, it will be different."
When Li Rong listened to Pei Wenxuan's words, a sense of daze rose for a while.
Pei Wenxuan looked up at her and said softly, "Li Rong, in fact, you are the best at deceiving yourself. Every time, you will not only deceive others, but also yourself. When you were young, you lied to yourself that you didn't like me. Now, you lie to yourself that you don't like Su Rongqing. But it's not that you don't like it, you're just afraid."
"I… what am I afraid of?"
Listening to Pei Wenxuan's words, Li Rong was a little nervous.
She vaguely felt that Pei Wenxuan was right, but also felt that it was not quite right. She only felt that this conversation made her embarrassed and embarrassed, and she was so embarrassed that she even regretted why she asked about it.
But she wanted to listen again.
She wanted to know, in Pei Wenxuan's eyes, who she was and what she thought.
"You are afraid of him as before, afraid of the love he gave you in this life, like the last life, family is more important than you, power is more important than you. Li Rong, you always say that you understand Su Rongqing, you understand Su Rongqing's choice, You don't hold grudges, but, you don't hold grudges, why did you give up on him from the beginning?"
Li Rong froze in place, and Pei Wenxuan laughed: "You are still resentful. Because he killed you, you can see clearly that he is similar to you, but you know that you will give up without hesitation in front of the family. You would rather not have your feelings. So you know that this life has come all over again, that the fate of the Su family will change, that you have countless opportunities to be with him and have a better life, but at the beginning, you I chose to give up.”
"That's why you said so much," Li Rong smiled bitterly, "what exactly are you trying to say?"
"But Su Rongqing is not like this." Pei Wenxuan's words were all sincere, "You think he will definitely choose a wife among his wife and family, you think he will not really love anyone, but do you know Su Rongqing at the age of 20? If he doesn't have you in his heart, if he is as calm as you said, and love does not occupy such an important place in his life, then on the waterside day, he will not be able to come."
"Before getting married, I asked him," Pei Wenxuan put on a smile on his face, "I said that in the wife and family, if there is a conflict, he told me that the wife is also a family member, and he chooses the truth. It's not like you think, he can give you the love you want."
"He can give it," Li Rong felt helpless, "Why should I?"
"Because you want to live a good life." Pei Wenxuan looked into her eyes, "You don't want to live like the last life, you want a good future for His Royal Highness, you want a beautiful family, and you want too A person who loves you and you love, wants a child, Chenghuan’s knees, and wants to have someone to rely on each other and go to Huangquan together when they are old, isn’t it?”
Li Rong was speechless, and Pei Wenxuan took a deep breath: "You want all this, he is the person you were most likely to fall in love with, you and him could have been fine, come again in this life, why not Try to fight for it, try hard once?"
"Don't always think that you are getting old, you are eighteen years old now, you are in your prime now, why do you block all possibilities? Su Rongqing went to pick you up today, didn't you think at that moment, if One day, you can get married, won't you be very happy?"
"I... I didn't even think about it..." Seeing Pei Wenxuan's impassioned speech, Li Rong felt a little guilty for a while. She felt that she didn't think about anything in her mind, and seemed to be living up to Pei Wenxuan's good intentions.
And what Pei Wenxuan said made sense to her, but the reason was reasonable, but she didn't know why, and she had no desire to practice it immediately.
Seeing that Li Rong was still resisting, Pei Wenxuan hated that iron was not steel, and immediately said: "Then think about it now, imagine now, if you got married, would you live better?"
"I... I'm a little sleepy."
Li Rong felt that this topic could not go on, and she quickly said: "There is still something to do tomorrow, let's go to bed first."
"No," Pei Wenxuan stretched out his hand to stop Li Rong, who was about to fall asleep, and straightened her, "I finally had a serious talk with you. We have to clarify this issue."
"What's the problem?" Li Rong's face was blank, while Pei Wenxuan's face was serious, "The question of how do you marry Su Rongqing."
"Go to sleep."
Li Rong fell down again immediately, but Pei Wenxuan stopped him halfway again and straightened Li Rong: "Don't make trouble, listen to me, facing your feelings for Su Rongqing is the first step in opening your heart. You can only start to learn Face yourself and you can live your life well.”
Listening to these words, Li Rong's head was big, she took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, and rolled up her sleeves: "Okay, you say, I'll listen, I'll see who can survive tonight. What's the matter? Great truth, let the horses come over! Just tell me first, what will I gain by marrying Su Rongqing?"
"One, you and Su Rongqing are in the same identity and have similar ideas. When you are together, you can be like a confidant, like a good friend, and you will become a fairy couple for a lifetime."
"Secondly, Su Rongqing has a noble status and is originally an aristocrat. When you are with him, it can be said that you are even more powerful. No matter what His Highness the Prince wants to do in the future, it will be much more convenient to have Su Rongqing there."
"Thirdly, you are already in love with him, and you have an emotional foundation..."
Pei Wenxuan gave full play to his instincts in the courtroom, telling Li Rong one by one about Su Rongqing's good, and depicting their bright future after their marriage.
Li Rong's eyes widened, and she kept staring at Pei Wenxuan.
She didn't believe that Pei Wenxuan was so sleepy just now, but now he is no longer sleepy.
However, Pei Wenxuan was fully aware of Li Rong's intentions. As a person, he used to be strong when he was strong. If Li Rong wanted to torture him, he would never let Li Rong succeed.
So he worked up his energy, looked at Li Rong, exhausted his brains and talked about it, fully demonstrating the necessity of Li Rong marrying Su Rongqing.
Pei Wenxuan was very able to say that he was alone on a stage, and he slowly talked about the rooster's crowing. Li Rong supported his head with his hands, dozed off, and listened to Pei Wenxuan's demonic voice.
And Pei Wenxuan became more and more energetic. When he saw Li Rong's intention to fall, he immediately shook her awake and said seriously, "Your Highness, have you thought about it?"
Then Li Rong was stunned, immediately woke up, and asked the question seriously with a face full of seriousness: "Not to mention that your authenticity is still open to question, even if it is true, now that I have married you as my wife, how can I marry him?"
"I've thought about this for His Highness," Pei Wenxuan said, and immediately got off the bed. Li Rong sighed with relief when he saw him running away, and was about to fall to the side when Pei Wenxuan returned to the bed, respectfully and respectfully. The last note, "This is the plan I made for His Highness. I have thought about it. Let His Highness and Su Rongqing continue to lead the way. We need to divide it into steps. Let go of your guard against your past life and correctly understand Su Rongqing."
Li Rong took the book and listened to Pei Wenxuan's words in the dark night. She was shocked to open the book that wrote a detailed solution to the problem of how to marry Su Rongqing. The book was opened by Li Rong's hand, and Li Rong borrowed it. Looking at the moonlight and seeing the dense words on it, I heard Pei Wenxuan continue: "The second step is to know the enemy. We have to determine what attitude Su Rongqing has towards His Highness and his feelings now. Leave that to me," Pei Wenxuan said. Putting it on his chest, he looked serious and reassuring, "I'll go to establish a good relationship with Su Rongqing first, and determine what Su Rongqing thinks of His Highness."
"After confirming Su Rongqing's thoughts, let's start the third step, indulge the enemy. This step is also done by me, mainly to let Su Rongqing know that His Highness and I are allies, and he actually has a chance."
"The fourth step is to capture the enemy. When Su Rongqing has a chance, we will create some opportunities for His Highness to have some contacts with Su Rongqing. With His Highness's ability, if Su Rongqing is captured by hand, he will bow to the pomegranate skirt, and then His Highness will make an appointment with him. "
"You..." Li Rong was stunned, "Are you too confident in me...?"
"No," Pei Wenxuan said seriously, "this is my comprehensive assessment of His Highness. Based on His Highness's appearance, means, and temperament, if there is a suitable opportunity, who wouldn't admire this man? Your Highness, don't belittle yourself."
"You said it so nicely..." Li Rong murmured, "I almost believed it."
"Does your Highness not believe me?"
Pei Wenxuan gave Li Rong a sigh of relief when he looked like a civil servant was admonishing death. She listened to the rooster crowing outside, holding the book in her hand, she suddenly realized that Pei Wenxuan came prepared, and she was afraid that she would not be able to win this eagle competition.
She took a deep breath and decided to take the enemy's strategy and attack the enemy's shield with the enemy's spear, so that Pei Wenxuan could also understand her mood, so she nodded and said, "Lord Pei's words are very reasonable, and Ben Gong suddenly realized. , Like Daigo's initiation, and rebirth, just to make up for the regret. Lord Pei thinks of this for the sake of this palace, and this palace is very grateful. In order to repay the heart of Lord Pei's fist, this palace has decided that your marriage will be covered by me. "
Pei Wenxuan froze in place and repeated, "My marriage?"
"Yes," Li Rong nodded earnestly, "Lord Pei and Miss Qin Er were also unbelievable in the past, and now they are reborn, Miss Qin Er has not yet entered the palace, Lord Pei should summon the courage and go after them!"
"No... No need." When Pei Wenxuan heard Li Rong mention Qin Zhenzhen, he felt a little uneasy, "Let's talk about Your Highness..."
"No," Li Rong pressed on Pei Wenxuan's shoulder and said sincerely, "Master Pei thinks so much about me, how can I not think about Master Pei? Master Pei doesn't need to refuse, if Master Pei refuses, then this palace will not. I understand why you must let me plan to marry Su Rongqing."
Hearing this, Pei Wenxuan froze for a moment. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "His Royal Highness said, but the top priority is Master Su, and Second Miss Qin is not in a hurry."
"Actually, Master Su is not in a hurry."
Having said that, both of them were silent. Pei Wenxuan took a deep breath: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will leave the matter of Master Su to Wei Chen, and it will be done for His Highness."
"Don't worry, Lord Pei," Li Rong said immediately, "I will leave Miss Qin's affairs to Ben Gong, and I will be able to help Lord Pei to do it well."
Pei Wenxuan: "..."
Li Rong: "..."
The rooster crowing again, and Pei Wenxuan said hesitantly, "Since Your Highness has already agreed to this matter, why don't we... let's sleep?"
Li Rong nodded, and the two hurriedly got into the bed, closing their eyes as soon as possible.
After closing her eyes, Li Rong couldn't help but ask, "Pei Wenxuan."
"Um?"
"What do you mean when you say you do this?"
Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, Li Rong thought about it, in fact, she didn't need Pei Wenxuan to say, she could guess that Pei Wenxuan was indeed doing her good. Maybe the way is wrong, but Pei Wenxuan really wants her to live well.
She couldn't help laughing silently in the night: "You said that in our relationship, husband and wife are not husband and wife, and alliance is not pure alliance. Thirty years of ups and downs have come, and while we are burying each other, we want to be good to each other. When you get married, you have to help each other plan a marriage with other people, what kind of relationship is this?"
Pei Wenxuan was silent. He listened to Li Rong saying this, and felt a little bored in his heart. He turned his back to Li Rong and whispered, "You can look up to me and treat me as a brother."
"That's fine," Li Rong denied immediately, "I don't have the hobby of looking for my brother."
"That's up to you."
Pei Wenxuan was too lazy to care about her, Li Rong thought for a while, then suddenly turned around, leaned over to Pei Wenxuan, and said happily, "Are you a close friend of mine?"
"Stay away from me." Pei Wenxuan shrank, "Don't come here and I will scare me."
Li Rong laughed and turned away from him. For some reason, she seemed to have suddenly found a new word that defined her relationship with Pei Wenxuan.
"Pei Wenxuan," she poked Pei Wenxuan's back with her hand, "I think this word is especially suitable for you. From now on, you will be my best friend."
"Then what do you think of me? Brother and sister?"
Pei Wenxuan fought back, Li Rong laughed out loud, and was no longer sleepy, and continued to say: "You are in my boudoir now, you..."
"Oh my aunt," Pei Wenxuan couldn't help it, turned over, raised his hand to cover her mouth, and said seriously, "Sleep, okay?"
Li Rong blinked, and Pei Wenxuan took a deep breath: "Okay, I'm your best friend, sleeping?"
Li Rong smiled and closed her eyes, satisfied.
Seeing Li Rong close his eyes, Pei Wenxuan sighed, but he forgot to turn around and fell asleep face to face with her.
Before falling asleep, he vaguely thought—
Tomorrow, I will need a few more quilts. When the floor is laid, it will be softer.
If he went on like this, he was afraid that he would die young.
