Pei Wenxuan was a little surprised when this thought flashed by.
Behind Li Rong's gentle breathing, Pei Wenxuan froze. He opened his eyes in the dark and dared not think about it.
But he couldn't stop thinking about it, and he couldn't help but imagine that Su Rongqing and Li Rong were together. Such a scene was not unfamiliar, it was something he had seen countless times in his memory.
But this fantasy is more cruel than the memory is that this life is different from the previous life.
In his previous life, he knew very well that Su Rongqing could never really take away Li Rong in his entire life. He was handicapped and his status was low. He and Li Rong had a deep feud across the sea of blood. Rong, Li Rong is Pei Wenxuan's wife and always will be.
But now it's different.
Su Rongqing is now a well-known son of a family of hundreds of years. He can marry Li Rong and have children. From that moment on, Li Rong will not have any, little relationship with him.
When this idea came to mind, Pei Wenxuan had never felt the sharp pain in his heart so clearly. This kind of pain seemed to be a reminder and a warning.
Let him understand that the so-called letting Li Rong and Su Rongqing be together, for him, is nothing but Duke Ye's love for the dragon.
He actually covets everything about Li Rong. He was like this in his previous life, and in this life, he hasn't really gotten rid of it.
In his previous life, he knew that he could not get Li Rong, so he kept telling himself that he didn't care. He struggled with lies and occasional sobriety. It was only when he looked back in this life that he dared to say that his biggest regret was Li Rong. .
But now he seems to be looking back on the road of the previous life, he can't get Li Rong, he clearly knows.
How could a person like Li Rong turn around so easily? Back then, her love for him was just a taste of the past, not to mention him now?
He had hurt Li Rong, hurt Li Rong's trust, and he was not a perfect person. He was stingy, indecisive, emotional, and thoughtful. There were a lot of messes in the house, and he couldn't compare to Su Rongqing. Others might even say that he is the eldest son of Pei, but Li Rong saw him so thoroughly and knew how ordinary a dog he was under his skin.
He knew that he couldn't make Li Rong turn back, so he pretended that he never turned back, but in fact Li Rong was like strong liquor to him, like poppy, after contamination, it was an addiction that would never stop.
No matter how many times, as long as two people meet, he will fall into it.
Pei Wenxuan realized this and closed his eyes in pain.
He didn't want to think about it any longer.
He closed his eyes, perhaps because he was too tired for one day, and finally fell asleep, but all night, he was in a trance with scenes from his previous life. Looking back on the day he married Li Rong, he saw Li Rong put the fan in his hand. He came down, then raised his eyes, looked at him with a smile, and called out, "Rong Qing."
He woke up from the dream, panting heavily in the dark night, and someone outside reminded him in a low voice that he should go up to the face. Seeing Li Rong sit up, rubbing her eyes, she said, "Are you going to the morning court?"
"Yes."
Pei Wenxuan said, only to remember that since Li Rong has established the Supervision Department and has an official position, she has to go to the morning court.
Li Rong went to court the first day and struggled to get up, looking extremely painful, this made Pei Wenxuan laugh, he stretched out his hand to help her, called someone in, helped her out of bed, and said with a smile, "Today If you want to go to court, you didn’t go to bed early last night, did you suffer?”
"Pei Wenxuan," Li Rong closed his eyes, trying to get some more sleep, and said vaguely, "How do you get up every day?"
Pei Wenxuan was asked and laughed by her, but she didn't answer. The maid came in and helped Li Rong to dress Li Rong.
The two changed their clothes, and Li Rong yawned and went out with him. At this time, before dawn, Li Rong got into the carriage and said to Pei Wen, "Call me when you arrive, I have to sleep for a while."
Pei Wenxuan responded. He watched Li Rong sleep with her head resting on the side of the carriage. He watched it quietly for a while, with mixed feelings in his heart.
He didn't know whether he should get closer to Li Rong or stay away from Li Rong now, he just watched Li Rong ignorant of everything, and bowed his head and dozed as usual.
After watching for a long time, Pei Wenxuan finally supported Li Rong just before she almost fell, Li Rong raised her eyes blankly, Pei Wenxuan sat next to her, raised his hand and pressed her on his shoulder, whispering. Said: "Come on."
Li Rong responded, but didn't notice any difference, and leaned on Pei Wenxuan's shoulder.
When they arrived at the palace, the sky became a little brighter, and the two got off the carriage and entered the palace together.
The early morning wind was a bit cool, and it blew Li Rong's mind a lot. She regained her energy and turned to look at Pei Wenxuan who had been silent: "You are very strange today."
Pei Wenxuan held the wat board, his expression was calm, and he said without pain or itching, "Oh?"
"What are you thinking about today? You came to me when I was about to fall? You don't usually do this."
"Huh?" Pei Wenxuan pretended to be okay, "I didn't pay attention, maybe I didn't rest well, I didn't expect it."
"Yes," Li Rong nodded, then she remembered something and smiled, "I haven't experienced the feeling of lack of sleep for a long time, but now I finally realize that it feels too uncomfortable. In the future, you should be moderate when you are busy, and don't be too tired. already."
Pei Wenxuan responded and said indifferently, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Seeing that Pei Wenxuan was in a bad mood, Li Rong glanced at him suspiciously, but she really didn't understand what Pei Wenxuan was thinking.
Fortunately, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the main hall soon, and Li Rong and him stood apart. Li Rong had a high status and stood in the front row, and Pei Wenxuan stood in the back row of the team. The two were far apart, but they had nothing to say.
Li Rong stood up to the crowd, and everyone was peeping. The imperial decree set up by the Supervisory Division has already been issued yesterday, and then all the ministries were notified one by one. Those who did things were all the cronies around the emperor. It could be seen that the emperor attached great importance to this matter.
Now that Li Rong had really come to court, everyone was curious and puzzled, and peeked at Li Rong to see how Li Rong planned to go to court.
Everyone looked at Li Rong secretly, and Li Rong knew in her heart that there was no girl's shyness at all.
After a while, Li Ming arrived and started announcing that the court was approaching. All the officials entered the hall like water. Li Rong entered side by side with Shangguan Xu, and one person formed a row. After entering the hall, she was not a bit embarrassed. After kowtowing with everyone, Li Ming straightened up. Seeing her standing in the middle of the hall, Li Ming couldn't help laughing: "Why did Pingle stand with Lord Shangguan? Come, come to me."
Li Rong got this and said with a smile, "Yes."
Saying that, she went up to the high platform and stood on the steps below Li Ming's left hand.
This is her position.
As soon as this position stood, everyone had a certain understanding in their hearts. Knowing that Li Ming set up the Supervision Department, I am afraid that his mind has been made up.
Li Ming arranged Li Rong's position, turned his head and said with a smile: "Do you have a book to play today, Aiqing?"
After Li Ming asked, Su Rongqing and Pei Wenxuan stood up at the same time and said loudly, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen has something to play!"
The two went out together, so that Li Ming was stunned for a while. After hesitating for a moment, Li Ming pointed at Su Rongqing and said, "Su Shilang, let's talk first."
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen wants to supervise the Censor Pei Wenxuan, Lord Pei. Lord Pei trespassed yesterday in the Punishment Department, injuring Lord Shuling Shi Chen, and robbing the dossier. Please, Your Majesty, severely punish such a villain!"
After Su Rongqing finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Pei Wenxuan. Li Ming laughed and looked at Pei Wenxuan: "Pei Wenxuan, what else do you want to play?"
"Report to Your Majesty," Pei Wenxuan said in a calm voice, "Wei minister wants to participate in the Ministry of Punishment to order Shi Chenping, to resist the decree, to deliberately handle the case for His Highness Difficult Pingle, and even to murder His Majesty, please investigate carefully. At the same time, Su Rongqing is for Chen The superiors who are directly subordinate to him and who are not strictly disciplined should be guilty of the same crime.”
"I understand," Li Ming nodded after listening to what the two of them said, "It's not about Mr. Pei, Pingle," Li Ming turned to look at Li Rong, "Please explain."
"Go back to the emperor," Li Rong said respectfully, "Yesterday, my son went to the Ministry of Punishment to file the case file of Qin's case. According to your will, the Ministry of Punishment should fully cooperate with my son. , Erchen and Lord Chen had a conflict, Lord Chen was in a hurry, and he was detained by Erchen's guards, just when Lord Su arrived, he thought it was the hand of the concubine."
"So," Li Ming nodded and turned to look at Su Rongqing, "Master Su, is what Your Highness said the truth?"
"Your Majesty, there is a misunderstanding in this," Su Rongqing said slowly, "Yesterday, the imperial edict was just issued, and Mr. Chen has not yet been notified by the superior of the Ministry of Punishment. The lord did not dare to let him go at will, and it was not to be embarrassed. When Sir Chen started talking, His Highness misunderstood. Sir Chen's voice was a little louder, and he was afraid that he would startle His Highness. These ministers all know that they disturbed His Highness yesterday. I feel guilty. Therefore, the involvement of Wei Chen does not involve His Highness, but Lord Pei."
With that said, Su Rongqing turned her head and looked at Pei Wenxuan: "The princess is the head of the Supervision Department, and it is reasonable and reasonable to go to the Ministry of Punishment to adjust the case file. Who gave Mr. Pei the power to break into the Ministry of Punishment like this? If Master Pei doesn't deal with it today, anyone can come to our Punishment Department to be so presumptuous, how will my Punishment Department manage people and handle cases in the future?!"
After Su Rongqing asked, Li Ming also felt that his face was a little unsettled.
Pei Wenxuan looked up at Li Rong, and Li Rong gently shook her head at him.
It's not impossible to break up with Su Rongqing at this moment, but what Su Rongqing said is right. After all, the Ministry of Punishment is the place of justice in a country. After all, they will end up justifying their losses if they break into it so forcefully. If they break it down, Li Ming still has to give the Ministry of Punishment some face.
In any case, they have already taken the dossier in their hands, and they are going to give the punishment department a step.
Pei Wenxuan understood Li Rong's meaning and sighed. He knelt down and kowtowed to Li Ming: "Your Majesty, yesterday Wei Chen trespassed in the punishment department because he was worried about the princess. Although Wei Chen is a minister, he is also the princess' husband. In a hurry, I forgot my identity, although it is reasonable, but I have violated the law, I hope Your Majesty and all the adults in the Ministry of Punishment will forgive me."
Pei Wenxuan was convinced, Li Ming waved his hand, nodded and said: "Okay, things are very clear. I asked the Supervision Department to do things, and Chen Ping stopped him. Not only did he stop it, but he also hurt Pingle. Pingle Pei Wenxuan was hard. It’s not right to break into the Punishment Department, and it’s not right for the Punishment Department to take their own words on the sidelines, each playing fifty major boards, Master Chen will deduct three months’ salary, and Pingle and Pei Wenxuan will also deduct their salary for three months, right?”
"Your Majesty, this..." There was still someone from the Department of Punishment who wanted to speak, and Li Ming said directly, "Why, the Department of Punishment is still not satisfied?"
"Your Majesty Shengming." Su Rongqing said immediately, respectfully, "Wei Chen has no opinion."
Su Rongqing opened his mouth, and it was difficult for the others to say anything.
Li Ming nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, that's it. Master Pei, get up, do other adults have other things?"
Li Ming moved the topic to the past, and everyone was interested, no more questions, and separated to both sides.
Li Rong secretly glanced at the expressionless Pei Wenxuan. Seeing that he was still stern, she couldn't help thinking. For today's Pei Wenxuan, the three-month monthly salary, did he dare to feel heartache?
When the two went to court, it was just dawn, Shangguanya finished dressing, and went to the casino in the name of going to the poetry club to participate in the talk.
Before she came back last night, she got news of Li Rong and knew that Li Rong had promised her.
So she came to the casino early in the morning, and after searching all the way, she saw Su Ronghua pressing down on the edge of the gaming table.
She and Su Ronghua were not acquainted with each other, but because they met last time, Su Ronghua came to gamble more often, so they had a bit of an intersection. When she got behind Su Ronghua, she saw that Su Ronghua was betting excitedly, and lightly patted Su Ronghua on the shoulder: "Eldest Young Master Su."
"Hey don't bother..."
Before Su Ronghua finished speaking, he realized who was standing behind him. He turned around with a bit of surprise, looked Shangguanya up and down, and said a little uncertainly, "Shangguan little... little son?"
"Does the eldest son have time to take a step to talk?"
Shangguanya opened her mouth with a smile, Su Ronghua laughed immediately after hearing this: "If other people ask me, there is no time, but if the son of Shangguan..."
Su Ronghua looked her up and down, her expression was full of teasing, her eyes saw Shangguanya frown, and then she saw this man bend down slightly, leaned in front of her, and said with a soft laugh, "I have time down here at any time."
"Looks like I didn't get enough slaps last time," Shangguan Ya said slowly, turning around and saying, "Let's go."
With that said, Shangguanya led Su Ronghua up to the second floor. The two entered the private room and sat on each side of the gaming table. Shangguanya asked people to go down, Su Ronghua put the fan on his belt, got up and poured tea for Shangguanya, and said with a smile, "I don't have anything to do without going to the Three Treasures Palace. Miss Shangguan has something to do?"
"I was going to try my luck, but I didn't expect to meet you."
Shangguanya put her arms around her chest, looked at Su Ronghua opposite, and sneered, "You're really irrelevant when you come to the casino early in the morning."
"Each each other," Su Ronghua put down the teapot and waved his fan in a dashing manner, "Miss Shangguan is a beautiful lady, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and a candidate for the crown princess of the Shangguan family. I spend some time here. Compared with the eldest lady, she is simply in front of Guan Gong. Playing with big swords is beyond your own power. After all, in the lower district, a seventh-rank petty official, and he is not a special official of the Censor's Office, so you don't need to go to the morning court. It's normal to stay here and gamble."
After some conversation, Shangguanya almost knew what kind of master this was, she didn't bother to talk to him, and said directly: "Let's discuss something with you, Her Royal Highness the princess wants to see your brother, see if you can invite your brother out. , Your Highness, how about having a meal?"
Su Ronghua didn't speak, he took a cup and took a sip of tea.
Shangguanya continued: "The benefits will not be without you, I know that you and the third son of the Xie family have an appointment for a cockfight next month. He has the first chicken king in Huajing. You are looking for a big cock that can win him. , I happen to have one in my hand. Fighting the chicken king from Youzhou, fighting on the battlefield, without any defeat, I will send it to you, how about it?"
Hearing this, Su Ronghua almost spit out a sip of tea.
He was choked by the tea, and he couldn't help laughing and crying: "Miss Shangguan, I exchanged a chicken for my brother, did you tell me wrong?"
"Of course it's a good thing," Shangguanya said with a calm expression, "what's the downside, it's not necessary, you don't need to talk about it, and it hurts your feelings, don't you think? Anyway, it's just to meet and have a meal, I think Second Young Master Su You may have this thought too, and you may not disagree, what do you think?"
"Well," Su Ronghua pondered, "he may not agree to ask him to come out to eat with the girl, but if it is His Highness, it will be different. But," Su Ronghua raised his eyes to look at Shang Guanya, "why should I help him and you? ah?"
"Then what is the eldest son thinking?" Shangguanya heard what Su Ronghua meant, and it was probably a good thing. Su Ronghua looked at the gaming table and said with a smile, "Would you like to play a game?"
"Bet what?"
"Bet big or small, win two out of three games, you win, I'll help you, if I win..."
Shangguanya drank the tea without speaking, and listened to Su Ronghua: "Show me in women's clothes."
Shangguanya sneered when she heard Su Ronghua's teasing words.
"Then wait and lose. I've never lost a bet."
"Oh?" Su Ronghua raised her hand to cover her chest, "Then I'm too scared."
"Come here," Shangguanya called the attendant at the door and instructed, "Go to the palace gate and wait, the princess will tell her when she goes down, let her make time for dinner, dress up better, and I will invite her to dinner!"
The entourage who followed Shangguanya was given to her by Li Rong. After listening to her instructions, she immediately went down.
Shangguanya took the dice and said to herself, "Started?"
Su Ronghua propped her chin up, looked at Shangguanya obsessively, and said with a smile, "Shake it, I like watching you roll the dice."
"ill!"
Shangguanya rolled her eyes.
Then he started rolling the dice frantically, Su Ronghua closed his eyes, as if listening to wonderful music, his face was intoxicated.
After Shangguanya put down the dice, he lightly tapped the fan on the "big" without opening his eyes, and said with a smile, "big."
Shangguanya froze, then rolled the dice, and it was really big.
After three rounds in a row, Su Ronghua got all the shots, Shangguanya was a little anxious, and said with a cold face, "No, it doesn't count, it's all about me rolling the dice, you roll it."
"Okay." Su Ronghua stretched out a beautiful hand, took the dice, and said with a smile, "If you are a beauty, don't dare to refuse."
When Shangguanya and Su Ronghua were deadlocked, Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan were coming out of the courtroom. Seeing that Pei Wenxuan was not looking well, Li Rong comforted him and said, "I'll pay you those monthly salaries, don't think about it. Or do you think you're angry? You're not such a person who can't think about it..."
Pei Wenxuan listened to Li Rong's ramble, and he whispered: "His Royal Highness, I am thinking of official affairs, Your Highness does not need to worry, these are trivial matters, and Wei Chen does not take them to heart."
Pei Wenxuan was a person Li Rong knew, how could she believe his nonsense, but she felt it was inappropriate to force him to speak, so she could only nod her head and said, "Forget it, I won't go into it, but if you feel any discomfort in your heart Yes, you must tell me."
Pei Wenxuan responded, and as soon as the two left the palace, they were stopped by someone sent by Shangguanya, who told Shangguanya's original words, and Li Rong laughed when she heard it: "Ask me for dinner, and let me Dress up nicely? Where is she?"
"In the casino." The person who came here reported that, "I'm gambling with Master Su."
Hearing this, Li Rong raised her eyebrows: "Su Ronghua?"
"Yes."
Li Rong paused for a moment, and then said directly: "Go, take me there to see."
Saying that, she turned to look at Pei Wenxuan: "Do you have anything else to do?"
"If Your Highness is going to the casino, then Wei Chen will accompany him."
Pei Wenxuan frowned. He was worried that Li Rong would go to that kind of place alone. Li Rong smiled and said, "If you have something to do..."
"Last night has already been done." Pei Wenxuan interrupted her directly. Li Rong was relieved after hearing this, and said, "Let's go then."
The two said and rushed to the casino together.
The two were led to the box by the attendant. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Shangguanya and Su Ronghua sitting opposite each other. Shangguanya was holding a card, her eyes were red, and her hair was messy. She looked like a gambler who was in a hurry. On the opposite side, Su Ronghua drank tea leisurely and said slowly, "Miss Shangguan, His Highness is here. After losing so many games, it's time to give up."
"No," Shangguanya said immediately, "I can win, I can win right away!"
When Li Rong heard this, she knew that Shangguanya was foolish to gamble, and Pei Wenxuan whispered, "Take the person away, you won't be able to gamble."
Li Rong walked behind Shangguanya and patted Shangguanya's shoulder: "Aya."
Shangguanya was taken aback by Li Rong. When she saw Li Rong coming, she remembered something and stammered, "Diandiandian... Your Highness!"
"What are you doing?" Li Rong laughed. She seldom saw Shangguanya look so bewildered. As she spoke, she raised her head and nodded towards Su Ronghua. Su Ronghua stood up and saluted, and Pei Wenxuan saluted with him: "Master Su."
"Master Pei."
"Why did Master Su bet with Aya?" Li Rong saw that Shangguanya seemed a little embarrassed, so she turned to ask Su Ronghua, Su Ronghua smiled and looked at Shangguanya: "Miss Shangguan wants to help His Highness invite my brother to dinner, and said she would come with me. Take a bet. If I lose, I promise her, and I've been cheating until now."
"Oh?" Li Rong was amused by this, "I didn't expect Master Su to be so skilled at gambling."
"Laughter."
"His Royal Highness..." Shangguanya was a little embarrassed and whispered, "I'm not feeling well today."
"You bet with him to invite Su Rongqing to dinner?"
"Yes." Shangguanya whispered, "I didn't get things done well..."
"Well," Li Rong thought for a while, "this is the matter that Ben Gong asked you to do. You have done your best, so that's it," Li Rong smiled and looked at Su Ronghua, "Why don't you let the concubine and Lord Su bet a game? "
"Is it still a bet to invite my brother to dinner?" Su Ronghua looked at Pei Wenxuan. Pei Wenxuan stood beside him with an expressionless face. Li Rong smiled and said, "Yes, if Lord Pei loses, I will ask Aya to accompany you to dinner."
"Ah?" Shangguanya was a little confused, Su Ronghua clapped her hands and said happily, "Fantastic! Master Pei, please."
Pei Wenxuan stood still, and Li Rong personally pulled a stool for Pei Wenxuan and greeted, "Wen Xuan, come here, let Master Su see your level."
Pei Wenxuan did not speak, Li Rong raised her eyebrows: "Wen Xuan?"
Pei Wenxuan raised his eyes to look at Li Rong. Seeing Li Rong's urging with expectant eyes, he took a deep breath and sat down on the chair.
Li Rong squeezed Pei Wenxuan's shoulder, put it in his ear, and whispered, "Work hard, you will be rewarded if you win."
Pei Wenxuan lowered his eyes, and Su Ronghua raised his hand and said, "What does Master Pei want to bet on?"
"Push the card." Li Rong made the decision for him. She knew what Pei Wenxuan was good at, but Pei Wenxuan didn't look at it. Su Ronghua looked at him and confirmed it again: "Master Pei?"
"Listen to His Highness's orders."
Su Ronghua nodded slightly and took the card.
Pushing a card is to take a set of dominoes and deal cards to both sides. Each time the two sides start to bid, they can choose to take a card, throw a card on the table, and buckle it when the next card is thrown. Or take two cards at the same time, the total number of cards in your hand cannot exceed ten, otherwise you will lose immediately. Either side of the two sides can stop at any time. After stopping, compare the size of the two sides, and if the number does not exceed ten, the biggest one wins. If no one stops in the middle, then until the cards are dealt, the two sides will showdown.
Pushing cards is not only about luck, but counting cards is the most important thing. Pei Wenxuan is not addicted to gambling, but he has few opponents in pushing cards.
The attendant cleared the table and began to deal cards to both parties. Li Rong stood behind Pei Wenxuan and watched Pei Wenxuan take the cards.
Su Ronghua rested his chin leisurely, staring at his cards, choosing one or two.
Pei Wenxuan didn't like to talk when he pushed cards. Li Rong stood behind him and watched nervously as he took cards.
Pei Wenxuan felt Li Rong's nervousness, but his expression remained the same, but he felt a little uncomfortable.
He thought that he would just lose like this and leave, but he knew that he couldn't do it.
His feelings are his feelings, he has to help Li Rong, what Li Rong wants to do, he should help.
He couldn't stop Li Rong from going the way she wanted just because he was uncomfortable and he liked Li Rong.
He is her friend, she trusts herself, and he should not betray this trust.
If he likes this person, he should fulfill this person.
The action of holding the card used strength, Li Rong watched intently, seeing that his two cards were already at eight, at this time he could choose to discard one card, take one card, or choose to take two cards. Eight o'clock was too big, Li Rong saw that he hesitated, and hurriedly said: "Fold."
Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, Su Ronghua laughed: "Lord Pei seems to have a lot of cards."
"Master Su's cards are not small."
Pei Wenxuan rubbed the cards in her hand with a sharp hand. When Li Rong saw that Pei Wenxuan was silent, she did not dare to say a word. She suddenly understood the excitement of Shangguanya's addiction to gambling. She stood beside Pei Wenxuan and waited. Pei Wenxuan's decision.
After a while, Pei Wenxuan smiled softly, raised his clear eyes to look at her, and asked, "Want to win?"
"Of course I do." Li Rong replied as she should.
Pei Wenxuan pushed the cards forward and said directly, "Two cards, open the cards."
"Master Pei is bold enough."
Su Ronghua raised his eyebrows, but Pei Wenxuan didn't speak. He brought tea from the side and took a slow sip.
The attendant pushed the two cards over and turned them over. The two 1 o'clock, plus the cards that Pei Wenxuan already had, was exactly 10 o'clock.
Su Ronghua burst into laughter, and opened the cards, it was exactly nine o'clock.
"When does Master Su plan to set the time and place?"
Pei Wenxuan asked as if it was official business, but Su Ronghua said helplessly, "Tonight, Mingyuelou."
"Okay." Pei Wenxuan nodded, stood up, and said, "Since the matter is settled, Your Highness and I will go first, sorry."
Having said that, Pei Wenxuan pulled Li Rong up and walked out directly.
Li Rong gave Shangguanya a goodbye gesture, Shangguanya looked at Pei Wenxuan with admiration, and Su Ronghua hesitated: "Lord Pei, do you want to play another round?"
Pei Wenxuan ignored the two and dragged Li Rong out the door. When the two left, Shangguanya couldn't help but sigh, "How handsome."
Su Ronghua coughed lightly, walked behind Shangguanya, waved her fan and said, "I'm not very lucky today, but Miss Shangguan has lost so many games, how are you going to pay?"
"How do you want to pay?" Shangguanya looked back, rather strange, Su Ronghua said with a smile, "Have a meal?"
"Forget it." Shangguanya waved, "I'm leaving."
"Then go down to the Shangguan Mansion to find Lord Shangguan to eat?"
Su Ronghua continued to speak out, and Shangguanya immediately turned around and said softly, "Where does the eldest son of Su think it is suitable?"
Li Rong was dragged out of the casino by Pei Wenxuan. As soon as she went out, Li Rong laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Pei Wenxuan pulled her, for some reason, he was so reluctant to let go.
He pretended to be ignorant of everything, but just forgot to pull her. Before Li Rong could recover from the nervousness just now, Xiao Shan pointed at her chest lightly: "I finally know why Aya likes to gamble, just now. When the cards were opened, my heart beat a lot faster, and I was a little nervous."
"Your Highness also has moments of tension."
Pei Wenxuan dragged her forward slowly, Li Rong said slowly, "Yes, I didn't think of it myself. But to be honest, Pei Wenxuan," Li Rong smiled and looked at him, "You were so handsome just now. very."
Pei Wenxuan chuckled: "His Royal Highness also likes me sometimes."
"Isn't it pleasing to my eye most of the time?"
As Li Rong spoke, she slowly noticed that her hands seemed to be warm. She suddenly realized that Pei Wenxuan was still holding her, and the other party obviously didn't notice this.
She didn't know how to speak for a while. If she said it to remind her, she was afraid that Pei Wenxuan's temper would be embarrassed and restrained, and she was afraid that she would apologize again and again. But if she didn't speak, she didn't know why, maybe it was embarrassment, but she felt her heart beat faster.
She raised her hand and fanned the heat on her face with a fan, and continued to chat and laugh: "Just now, how did you know that the last two cards are one point?"
"Calculated."
Pei Wenxuan's face was flat, he pulled Li Rong, and there was a kind of stolen sweetness in his heart, which slowly spread, the two walked on the corridor, Li Rong listened to Pei Wenxuan's clear voice and explained calmly in the amplified heartbeat: "I have memorized every card that both of us have discarded. I can roughly guess the number of points in his hand, and also calculate the subsequent cards. This is not difficult."
"You're still smart, I can't remember so much."
Li Rong smiled and said, "No wonder you always read first."
"Because Your Highness doesn't need to remember these things. Your Highness's wisdom is above the overall situation."
Pei Wenxuan talked to her and went to the side of the carriage together.
When he got to the side of the carriage, he had to let go. He lowered his eyes and helped Li Rong to get on the carriage. Then he let go, and smiled, "I didn't even notice..."
"Nothing, nothing," Li Rong hurriedly comforted him, "I was afraid that you would mind so much, so I didn't remind you. Are you going to the official office?"
"Where's Your Highness?" Pei Wenxuan looked at Li Rong, "Did you go back?"
"I have to go back and get ready."
Li Rong said happily: "Aya is so painstakingly set up, I can't live up to her intentions. Choose clothes well, put on makeup..."
Li Rong smiled, as if she was a little embarrassed: "You have to look like a girl."
Pei Wenxuan watched Li Rong quietly, and seeing the joy, shyness, and girlish expectation in her smile, he blurted out, "Must go?"
Li Rong looked at him strangely, and Pei Wenxuan hurriedly explained, "I mean, the dossier of Qin's case..."
"I'm all done."
"Na Luo Juan and other related personnel who were involved in the First World War in Huangping County..."
"I asked Xun Chuan to look for it." Li Rong knew what he was worried about, and explained, "Don't worry, I know what I have in mind. The most important thing now is to get the list of people in charge of the Qin Mansion and Yang Lie's letter. As long as Su Rongqing relaxes on this matter, everything is easy to say, I will contact him first today. What else do you have to worry about? "
"Gone."
Pei Wenxuan looked at her, and Li Rong laughed: "Don't worry, I'll be back early today, you should pay more attention, I guess many people in the court are staring at you, don't let anything happen."
"Yes." Pei Wenxuan lowered his eyes and saluted: "Don't worry, Your Highness, Wenxuan will take care of yourself. I wish Your Highness," Pei Wenxuan felt bitterness in his lips and teeth, "Today's victory, everything goes well."
"Thank you, that's alright, you can do things first, I'll be back."
Li Rong made a gesture and got into the carriage.
Not long after she got into the carriage, Jinglan Jingmei sat up.
On weekdays, when Pei Wenxuan was there, Jinglan Jingmei followed in the carriage behind. Now that Pei Wenxuan was leaving in the carriage behind, Jinglan Jingmei came to take care of Li Rong.
One of the two poured tea for Li Rong and placed cakes, and the other pinched Li Rong's shoulder.
"The concubine doesn't seem to be in high interest today, but your Highness has quarreled with the concubine?" Jingmei was quite curious, and Li Rong hurriedly said, "Don't wrong me, I'm taking good care of him."
"My concubine has been worried about these two days," Jing Lan said slowly, "Your Highness should pay more attention. The most important thing between husband and wife is to hide things."
"You're young," Li Rong said with a smile when she heard Jinglan's words, "There is no one in the husband's family, and she speaks like an old lady."
Jinglan smiled without saying a word, and Li Rong thought about it: "But yes, you usually help me to watch more, I'm not careful, the concubine is sentimental, where did I provoke him, I don't know myself."
The two of them couldn't help laughing when they heard Li Rong's words, and the three of them talked about Pei Wenxuan's topic all the way back.
Back at the princess' mansion, Li Rong confirmed that Xun Chuan had already led people to find Luo Juan and the old troops who fought in Huangping County. Then she pulled out the list of people from various ministries, and after thinking for a while, she gave a list and the corresponding gift list, and they were sent to the past.
When she was done with business, she began to bathe in incense, choose clothes and make-up, and choose hairpins and jewelry.
These things seem simple, but it takes a lot of time for women to do them.
Pei Wenxuan has excellent aesthetics. The clothes and accessories he chose are much better than those of these maids. After choosing for a long time, Li Rong finally decided. She chose a long dress with red gold thread embroidered peony, with a slim waist and wide sleeves. The figure is outlined to the extreme.
After Li Rong got dressed, it was already dark, and news came from outside that Shangguanya had arrived at the door. Li Rong got up and went out, and saw Shangguanya had changed into a long aqua blue dress and was waiting for her at the carriage window.
Li Rong tapped her lightly with a fan and smiled, "It's becoming more and more unruly in front of me."
"I've lost my face in front of you," Shangguanya said, lying on the carriage window, watching the people coming and going outside, "I don't care about my face."
"What kind of blow did you get, so it's like this?"
"I'll take you to Mingyue Tower later," Shangguanya straightened up and sighed, "You and Su Rongqing have dinner, and I have to eat with Su Ronghua."
"Why did you agree to have dinner with him?" Li Rong was a little strange, Shangguan Ya was helpless, "He said he wanted to sue my father and I gambled money."
Li Rong was amused by her, sitting on the side laughing until her stomach hurt.
Shangguanya was decadent for a while, and then cheered up: "I'm so hungry, I'm just having a meal, I'm not afraid of her. Tonight's focus is on Your Highness," Shangguanya said, looking up at Li Rong, and after sweeping up and down, Frowning, "Are you dressed too formally?"
"Huh?" Li Rong raised her hand, "Doesn't it look good?"
"It's not bad-looking, it's just," Shangguanya thought for a while, "the imposing manner is too strong, and the sense of oppression is a little heavy. But it doesn't matter," Shangguanya looked up and down, "A person is good-looking, whatever is good. Let's come. Get a preview of what you're going to do tonight."
"Huh?" Li Rong wondered, "Do you still need to preview?"
"Of course." Shangguanya said decisively, "Everything must have a plan and preparation. You are married after all. Although you and I are well aware of your relationship, Su Rongqing doesn't know. You speak rashly, afraid It's going to scare him. So tonight focus on getting down to business and use your charisma to conquer him."
"So what shall I do?"
"When you talk, you can only do business, but you have to learn to look."
Shangguanya said, sat up straight, and gestured: "Look at me, you have to be inadvertent, for example, when you look back, when you look up, you have to look slowly, that's all."
Shangguanya showed her a demonstration, she lowered her head first, then raised her head, her eyes seemed to be able to speak, filled with autumn water, and she gently swept towards Li Rong.
Li Rong was stunned for a moment, then gave a high five: "You can! Come on, see if I'm doing it right."
Li Rong said, and began to learn.
When the two girls were in the carriage, they began to practice their eyesight.
When Li Rong and Shangguanya went to Mingyuelou, Pei Wenxuan had almost finished the last document.
He was not a high-ranking official, and he didn't have much work. He worked diligently on weekdays. Now he wants to find something to do, but he can't find it.
He sat in the official office for a while, and when Li Rong was about to go out, he got up by himself and went out.
Tong Ye was at the door, and when he saw him coming out, he said, "Young master is so early today? Are you going back to the manor?"
"Um."
Pei Wenxuan responded in a low voice, and Tong Ye sighed: "Young master has not returned to Huajing for a few years, and all the sons and brothers who accompanied him in the past have dispersed, and there is no one to talk to on weekdays. If I had known this, it would be better for my son to stay in the hut. state."
Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, and went straight to the carriage.
Young friends, in fact, he can't remember much, too many years, his later friends are Li Chuan and Qin Lin.
Now Li Chuan is still the prince, Qin Lin and others are far away in the frontier, but there is no one around him except Li Rong.
Pei Wenxuan felt a little tired, he raised his hand to cover his head, and said in a low voice, "Go back."
The carriage walked slowly, from the place where the voices were boiling to the dark place. Before walking out of the alley, I heard a hurried call from the front: "Young Master! Eldest Master!"
The carriage stopped abruptly, Pei Wenxuan raised his head coldly, and then Tong Ye rolled the curtains and said in a hurry: "Master, Madam is seriously ill, I told you to hurry back to Pei's house now."
Pei Wenxuan didn't say a word, he rolled the curtain and looked at the person who sent the message. It was indeed his mother's personal attendant, who cried so much: "Eldest son, go home quickly."
"My mother is seriously ill, why didn't I say the previous sentence?"
Pei Wenxuan looked at the other party coldly, and the other party sobbed: "It was nothing before, Madam said not to surprise you, you haven't seen her for a long time since you got married, Madam thought that you were busy, half an hour ago, Madam suddenly fainted, and the doctor didn't come, so many people in the house made things difficult, and the slaves were helpless..."
"Son, don't ask," Tong Ye said anxiously, "go back first."
Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, he squeezed the curtain of the car, and after a long time, he suddenly laughed.
"Row."
He turned his head and said with Tong Ye, "Go to Mingyue Building and ask her to pick me up at Pei's house when the boss is done."
Speaking, he attached to Tong Ye's ear and whispered: "Bring more people."
Tong Ye was stunned for a while, and Pei Wenxuan said slowly: "Go, wait at the door, don't disturb the princess."
After Pei Wenxuan finished speaking, he returned to the carriage and said outside: "Go to Pei's house."
The carriage slowly left, Tong Ye stood there, and after a long period of stunned, he realized what Pei Wenxuan had ordered.
His son was used to being smart, so he must have noticed something was wrong before he ordered it. Tong Ye was panicked and anxious, and hurried to Mingyuelou.
But just before Tong Ye left, a dark guard had already left early and passed the news all the way.
Li Rong was still fighting with Shangguanya in the carriage, but was stopped by the dark guard who rushed over to the carriage. Li Rong raised the curtain and said coldly, "What's the matter?"
"The Pei family called the concubine over."
"Why?"
Li Rong frowned, and the dark guard immediately said, "Wen's is seriously ill."
Li Rong didn't speak. After a while, she turned around and said to Shangguanya, "Get out of the car."
"what?"
Shangguanya's face was dazed, and Li Rong said directly: "Pei Wenxuan has an accident. Go to Mingyuelou and explain to me and Su Rongqing."
"No," Shangguan Ya said anxiously, "could he have a big problem at Pei's house? It's all at the door of Mingyuelou, you can see each other before leaving."
"Gone."
Li Rong said directly: "I can't worry, hurry up."
With that said, Li Rong pushed her out directly, turned her head and instructed the guard: "Go to the Princess's Mansion to transfer someone, and go directly to Pei's Mansion."
The dark guard responded, and Li Rong asked the carriage to turn around and hurried to Pei's house.
She sat in the carriage and closed her eyes.
She thought about Pei Wenxuan's thoughts and the things she might encounter in Pei's mansion. After a while, she couldn't help laughing angrily.
She thought about it, the first thing she was going to do when she saw Pei Wenxuan.
Just slap him hard.
