Chapter 125: Empathy
After a happy room, Shen Jiahe had no choice but to change to a clean bathtub to take a bath, and the two met sincerely in the daytime, Shen Jiahe's face had been exercised by Pei Yuan a lot thicker, and after washing, she was so tired that she simply came out of the bathtub and was served by him.
Pei Yuan put the person on and carried her to the yard to bask in the sun, worried that she would sleep too much during the day, so he only let her lie down and whisper to her: "Can you order some things on the day you go back?" If there is a gap, let the Fu Gonggong make up for it as soon as possible. ”
Shen Jiahe closed his eyes and replied lazily: "You look at it, I don't understand this." ”
Pei Yuan smiled and pinched her nose, and called someone to get the list of gifts: "If you don't go to see it, I will read it to you, otherwise I will go back to my parents' house tomorrow, and if there is anything dissatisfied, it will be too late." ”
Shen Jiahe listened to his shallow voice, only felt drowsy, and she was worried that she would really not be able to sleep at night, so she simply sat up a little and leaned on Pei Yuan's chest: "If you don't let the kitchen send something refreshing, I'm afraid I'll listen to it for a while and fall asleep." ”
Bai Yingzheng came in from outside the courtyard, happened to be carrying a food box in his hand, walked to the stone table next to the two of them and put the food box on it: "The prince has already arranged it, the sour plum soup just made in the kitchen is the best to use it for refreshment." As he spoke, he brought out a bowl of clear red drink.
Pei Yuan took the bowl to his hand and sent it to the lips of the person in his arms, Shen Jiahe looked at the knobby fingers that were set off by the green jade bowl, looked even better, lowered his head and touched his hand, and drank most of it.
"Careful tooth soreness," Pei Yuan put the bowl back, and put it back on the table after hiding a small bite, "Today is a leisurely day, and I'm afraid I'm going to be busy tomorrow." ”
Originally, according to the rules, tomorrow was the day when the bride and her aunt returned to the door, but today she and Pei Yuan did not enter the palace to meet her, I am afraid that they will enter the palace early tomorrow morning, and then they can return to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the time will be much hasty.
"Left and right are just talking, go to the palace to say, go to the prime minister's mansion to say, it's all the same." Shen Jiahe rubbed in Pei Yuan's arms, and adjusted his comfortable posture again before continuing, "Anyway, being idle is idle." ”
Pei Yuan closed his eyes, stretched out his hand and gently touched Shen Jiahe's shoulder, the corners of his mouth curled, before marrying, the focus of his life was either on the court or on the Yuan Pavilion, it was rare to be able to put down all the mundane things like this, and lie down under the ginkgo tree leisurely.
He was in a happy mood, so he didn't think about the troubles that were coming tomorrow, and just hugged Shen Jiahe to take a nap.
And this will be the early dynasty in the hall has long ended, Pei Shu sat in the carriage back to the East Palace, remembered the vacant position in the main hall, and couldn't help but clench the jade pendant in his hand.
As long as he thought that the two of them would be hugging each other, Pei Shu felt a pain in his heart like a knife.
Alai followed Pei Shu all the way to the study, and was going to follow in to help sort out the paperwork, but he was shut out by Pei Shu with a bang.
Alai was stunned for a while and was about to raise his feet to leave, but he heard Pei Shu's voice coming from behind him: "Let the kitchen maid bring some wine to the palace." ”
Alai was about to persuade him, but when he thought of Pei Shu's face when he left the palace, and he was silent along the way, he responded with a hello and hurried to the kitchen.
Lu Gongcheng was going to the study to report the matter, and when he saw Alai holding a few jars of wine with the kitchen servant, he couldn't help frowning: "This prince wants to drink?" You don't follow the persuasion? ”
Alai waved his hand to let the little guy go first, and then explained in a low voice: "I don't know what happened to the prince, there was something wrong with leaving the palace, and the little one didn't dare to talk much." Alai naturally described Pei Shu's exit from the palace to Gonggong Lu in detail.
Father-in-law Lu's brows furrowed even tighter, to say that the prince was for Shen Jiahe, but yesterday's big wedding of the two, the prince came back only drunk, and it was normal to look at it, so he got up early in the morning and went to the morning court.
Could it be that he was reprimanded by the emperor because of something else? Ah Lai couldn't enter the palace, and Gonggong Lu knew that it was useless to ask him, so he shook his head helplessly: "You still keep an eye on it, don't make any trouble." ”
Alai replied, just took two steps and looked back at the booklet in Lu's father-in-law's hand: "Father-in-law has something to tell the prince?" ”
Gonggong Lu nodded, but when he saw the wine jar in Alai's hand, he thought about it: "The old slave will talk about it tomorrow, and you don't have to talk to the prince." ”
Pei Shu drank in the study I don't know how much, Alai only heard the sound of smashing the wine jar from time to time, he was worried in his heart, he didn't know whether to go in and take a look, he saw a maid not far away.
Xiaowu, the little girl who was serving Qin Xiaoshuang, Alai's eyes lit up and he stretched out his hand to beckon her closer: "What are you doing?" ”
Xiao Wu raised the tray in his hand: "Father-in-law Lu asked the slave maid to bring a bowl of sobering soup to the prince, can the Alai guards give it a try?" ”
The food for the prince must be tasted by the eunuch before the prince can be entered, but this will be the only one who is waiting outside, and he has to use a small spoon to scoop out a little and drink, and after a while and a half, there is no problem, and then he pushes the door and lets Xiaowu in.
Before closing the door, he also explained: "Keep an eye on the point, let the prince drink this sobering soup, and stop drinking." ”
Xiao Wu nodded and walked inside, and saw Pei Shu lying on the table, and there were two wine bowls next to him, so he hurriedly put down the things in his hand and put the things that were dangling first.
She didn't dare to touch Pei Shu, so she only stood aside and shouted in a low voice: "Prince, Gonggong Lu asked the slave maid to bring you sobering soup, do you want to drink a little?" ”
Pei Shu was so drunk that he only heard a delicate female voice in a daze, he raised his head forcefully, and looked in the direction of the sound, but his eyes were blurred and saw Shen Jiahe looking at him with a concerned face.
He smiled, then raised his hand to pull the person closer, and when he saw that it was Shen Jiahe's handsome appearance, he was even happier in his heart, and asked him with a big tongue: "Are you finally willing to come to see me?" Is this distressing me? ”
Xiao Wu didn't know why, but he still felt that something was wrong with Pei Shu, and hurriedly withdrew his hand: "Prince, you have drunk too much, the slave maid is waiting for you to drink this sobering soup." ”
Pei Shu frowned, increased the strength in his hand, and yelled at her as if he was a little angry: "What slave, don't allow you, just say, Jiahe, as long as you want, you can be the crown princess of this palace." ”
After he finished speaking, he pulled Xiaowu to the inside, and Xiaowu was shocked to realize that the other party had recognized the wrong person, so he struggled: "Prince, prince, you are wrong, the slave is Xiaowu, the slave is not Jiahe!" ”
Where can a drunk and confused person still listen to these explanations, Pei Shu dragged Xiaowu all the way to the partition inside, Xiaowu desperately grabbed the door frame, and shouted outside: "Alai guard, Alai guard, come in and save me, the prince has drunk too much, you come in and take a look." ”
Pei Shu saw that she was struggling and shouting so badly, so he simply dragged the person to the couch with all his strength, and directly pressed down to seal the lips that kept shouting 'don't'.
Alai stood outside and listened to the movement inside for a moment and hesitated, he felt that he should go in and have a look, but a pair of feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, if he really stepped on it at this time, it would be tantamount to looking for death.
What's more, a maid is favored by the prince, and she is considered to be a creation, thinking like this, Alai turned his head and glanced behind him, and there was some drumming in his heart, and Gonggong Lu asked him to watch the prince not make a mess, but now this kind of thing is not a mess, he doesn't know, and finally can only stomp his feet and go out and pretend that he is not here.
Pei Shu woke up with a headache the next morning, he raised his eyes and looked at the environment in front of him, he was still a little surprised when he sent down the study, it seems that the maids in this house are becoming more and more dissatisfied, and he actually slept in the study all night, thinking of this Pei Shu shouted outside with a hoarse voice: "Alai! ”
Alai, who was waiting outside, answered in time, thinking about what happened yesterday, and asked after a while: "The prince wants to wash up now, are you right here?" Or go back to the dormitory? ”
Pei Shu wanted to get angry and reprimand Alai for asking redundantly, but he just got up in the morning to wash up and change places, but he noticed something wrong before he spoke up.
Pei Shu turned his head stiffly, and saw a small wu sitting against the wall, the little maid who had been serving by his side for a long time at this time her eyes were red and swollen, I don't know if it was because she stayed up late or cried for too long, she was holding the quilt, obviously naked.
"Why are you here?" Pei Shu asked with a cold face.
But as soon as he touched her trembling bare shoulders, the shattered memories flashed in front of his mind, and he looked up at her delicate and smooth skin, the bruises and purple scars on it showed all the absurdity of last night.
The other party didn't know what he was thinking, he just sat there silently, not looking at himself, Pei Shu knew that the other party was forced by himself, but he still didn't have any sense of comfort.
He picked up a long robe that he was still on his side and threw it at her side: "The palace wants to go back to the main hall to wash, you can go back by yourself, last night's incident was just that the palace was drunk, you took care of it all night, and nothing else happened, understand?" ”
Xiao Wu just lowered her head, and after a long time, she nodded slightly, and Pei Shu was very satisfied with her reaction.
After Pei Shu left, Alai glanced into the house, but the master didn't say anything, Alai didn't dare to ask, just followed him to the direction of the main hall, and then took a little maid to wait for him into the bathroom to wash.
Pei Shu sat with his head up in the bathtub, he seemed to see Qin Xiaoshuang's face in the mist, he stretched out his hand towards the empty air, Qin Xiaoshuang's face dissipated little by little with the white mist, Pei Shu smiled bitterly.
He remembered that on the second day of his first wedding with Shen Jiahe, Qin Xiaoshuang went to see her in the study early in the morning with a breakfast made by himself.
Watching the person you like hold hands with others, worship the hall, or even the cave room, the pain of eroding the bones is indescribable.
Last night, the emperor stayed in Qiwu Palace, and the queen got up early in the morning to wash with the emperor, and the queen handed over a hot handkerchief: "Does the emperor come over for breakfast after the morning court?" ”
Before the emperor could speak, Manager Xu came in from outside the door and said: "Queen Mother, this morning Prince Xian handed over a sign, saying that he would bring Princess Xian to greet the Queen Mother later." ”
The queen also forgot to ask about breakfast again, and sneered directly: "They didn't come to see the queen of the palace on the second day of their wedding, and they only came today, so it can be seen that they didn't take the palace in their eyes." ”
"You said that Shen Jiahe didn't enter the palace yesterday to greet you?" The emperor was stunned, "Pei Yuan didn't go to court yesterday, I thought he was accompanying Shen Jiahe to see you, and the couple had a big shelf." ”
"Your Majesty, are you so unroyal because of Pei Yuan?" The queen thought about the anger she had suffered in Shen Jiahe's hands, and she was annoyed.
The emperor sighed, and said something calm: "The queen should not forget that he is also a royal person, not to mention that they should have gone to the Prime Minister's Mansion today, but they still came to the palace to give you a salute, it can be seen that there is still a psychological number, so don't worry too much." ”
Shen Jiahe was helped into the carriage by Pei Yuan, hesitated for a moment and said to him: "Why don't you go to the early court, it's okay if I go alone with the queen." ”
"The things for the return door are ready, and when I accompany you out of the palace, I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion together, how can I let you go alone." Pei Yuan said and got into the carriage as well.
