Chapter Seventy-Three: Misunderstanding

After the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the female relatives of various official families also left the palace one after another, Shen Jiahe accompanied Shen's mother all the way to the outside of the palace, and the female official who followed handed over a pear flower box to Bai Wei.

"What is this?" Bai Wei took the box and held it in her hand, feeling heavy.

Mother Shen glanced at Shen Jiahe with satisfaction before happily explaining to Bai Wei: "It's a pipa, it's a gift, Bai Wei, you have to put it away." ”

Bai Wei hurriedly hugged her tighter again, and then followed behind Shen Jiahe and asked, "Did Miss win this year's talent top?" I thought that this year's young lady was not going to participate. ”

Shen Jiahe was not interested, but Shen's mother was not less interested: "It was the Xiangyi county lord who had to compete with Jiahe, and Jiahe came to the stage, but this pipa is really first-class." It is rumored that it is the cherished thing of the pipa master of the previous dynasty, with a fine rosewood panel, an ivory shaft, and a string made of first-class silk. ”

"Miss is so powerful, I guess there is no one more powerful in this capital than our young lady playing the pipa." Bai Ying was also very happy, she was worried that the young lady would be criticized at the banquet, but she didn't expect it to shine.

Shen Jiahe was upset, and when he saw what his mother said happily, he had to urge in a low voice: "Let's hurry up and get into the carriage, otherwise it will be difficult to get out if we block the cars of the people behind." ”

Shen's mother got into the carriage, and she was still unable to stop talking when she was happy for a while: "If you want to say that tonight is over, this King Kang's intestines will definitely be ruined, and he gave up such a good daughter as ours, but asked for a woman who can't be on the stage, I really don't know what to do." ”

"Mother, don't talk about it, this is outside, be careful that the wall has ears." Shen Jiahe was unhappy in his heart, and he didn't want to talk about it here.

Mother Shen felt that her daughter's temper was really strange tonight, and it could be seen that her face was not depressed, so she had to keep silent.

The carriage drove for a while, and the little guy outside knocked on the door and asked in a low voice: "Madam, Miss, it seems that there is a carriage behind the slave view, which has been following our carriage, do you want to stop." ”

Shen Jiahe replied without thinking: "No, let's go back quickly." ”

The little guy was about to whip the horse, and Shen's mother glanced at Shen Jiahe reproachfully: "You girl, you are a prince, maybe there is something to say, stop on the side of the road, let me ask." ”

The little servant parked the car aside, Pei Yuan instructed his coachman to parallel the car, and then lifted the curtain and asked, "Mrs. Shen suddenly stopped the car, but is there something?" ”

Mother Shen was a little strange, but she still explained: "The prince's carriage has been following us, I thought the prince had something to say, so I asked the little servant to stop the car?" ”

"Shen Xiang and the two sons are not here today, this king is worried that it will be unsafe for you and your female dependents to travel at night, so they follow all the way, there is nothing to do, if Mrs. Shen feels inconvenient, this king can send my guard all the way." Pei Yuan didn't expect it to cause a misunderstanding, so he quickly explained.

Mother Shen hurriedly thanked her, and then ordered the little girl to continue to drive the horse, worried that a prince was outside, and Mother Shen didn't want to say anything to her daughter, but the words in her eyes were definitely praising Pei Yuan.

Shen Jiahe felt more and more upset, and couldn't help but think of those fiery and intense eyes at the banquet, if the eyes were really hot, where would Pei Yuan still be able to take them home in a carriage, it is estimated that they would have melted into the banquet like a puddle of water.

When the Shen family's carriage first arrived at the door, the little guy driving the car put down the footstool and said to himself: "Hey, the prince has turned around and gone back." ”

Mother Shen got out of the carriage and looked back, and could only see a shadow cast by the carriage of the Xianwang Mansion, but it was soon invisible, so she turned her head to look at Shen Jiahe and said: "They are also royal people, and this prince is a hundred times stronger than his nephew." ”

"Mother, my daughter is tired, so I won't accompany my mother back to the yard." After Shen Jiahe finished speaking, he hurriedly went to his yard, leaving Shen's mother standing in place with an inexplicable expression.

Until she returned to her room, she still felt very strange, and Shen Xiang saw her strange face and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Is it difficult for the queen to be sorry for you at the banquet? ”

Mother Shen did it on the side, shook her head and said: "Although it was a stumbling block, she was well blocked by her daughter, and today her daughter shined at the banquet and got a pipa rewarded by the emperor, which is quite happy, but this girl has always been with a straight face and is not very happy." ”

Shen Xiang frowned, and then guessed: "It won't be because I met King Kang." ”

Mother Shen thought for a while, but still shook her head: "I don't think so, she has no emotion at all when she faces King Kang today, her eyes can't deceive people, and I don't know what's wrong with her today?" ”

"Don't think too much about it, let Jiahui ask when you have time, the two sisters will always talk to each other." Shen Xiang had no choice but to comfort him like this.

Not only did Shen's mother feel that Shen Jiahe was particularly strange tonight, but Bai Wei and Bai Ying also felt that something was wrong with her, so they didn't sit down to rest for a moment after hurriedly returning to the courtyard, so they went to the ear room to wash themselves, and after washing, they were not allowed to wait on the side, and drove all the maids out.

Shen Jiahe felt like there was a fire burning in her heart, she couldn't suppress it, she was so restless that she wanted to go out to find someone to fight and vent, but she couldn't catch anyone when she went out in the middle of the night.

Pei Yuan did not leave after sending people to the door, and after the carriage of the Xian Wangfu went away, he jumped on the roof ridge in Shen Jiahe's courtyard, his breath was very well hidden, Shen Jiahe was upset today, naturally he did not find any trace of him.

Seeing that the maids were all driven out by Shen Jiahe, Pei Yuan jumped in from the window, who knew that Shen Jiahe was not lying on the bed at this time, but standing in front of the window with a tea cup to drink water.

She was angry in her heart, so she brought a little strength, Pei Yuan was unprepared to be hit by a palm, but she didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of attracting a maid, so she only covered her chest and leaned against the corner of the wall for a long time without moving.

Shen Jiahe hurriedly threw down the teacup and stared at him: "Why are you?" ”

Pei Yuan smiled bitterly and suppressed a little voice to reply to her: "If it is an ordinary Xiaoxiao, where would you dare to enter the dignified Shen Xiang's house." ”

Shen Jiahe didn't pay attention to his jokes, only looked at the painful look on his face, but he couldn't tell the truth from the fake: "Is it serious?" ”

"I didn't think you'd do it, you didn't have any defense at all, and you hit it so accurately, just in the heart of the mouth." As soon as Pei Yuan finished speaking, he gritted his teeth and looked at Shen Jiahe, as if he was enduring great pain.

Shen Jiahe walked over nervously and stretched out his hand to him uneasily: "Let me see." ”

Pei Yuan grabbed her hand and took the person into his arms, and his voice sounded in her ears in a low voice: "Not happy today?" ”

"You pretended?" Shen Jiahe angrily raised his foot and stepped on him.

Pei Yuan immediately snorted, and when Shen Jiahe was about to turn back, he hugged her tightly, but avoided the question she asked: "I heard that the young lady of the Shen family in the outer hall today gave the face of the queen ruthlessly, and she won the Xiangyi county lord beautifully at the banquet, why are you still unhappy." ”

As soon as Pei Yuan's voice fell, the eyes of those daughters shook in front of him like lingering flies, and Shen Jiahe suddenly felt depressed: "What about the prince?" ”

"What?" Pei Yuan didn't know why.

Shen Jiahe sneered: "Lord Xian must be very happy, at the banquet, you don't have to play the pipa, you don't have to please others, as long as you sit there quietly, you can win the attention of all the daughters of the official family, this feeling must be very good." ”

Pei Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then nestled in Shen Jiahe's shoulder socket and laughed in a low voice: "Really? In this case, why didn't he attract the favored attention of Miss Shen? ”

Shen Jiahe felt a little hot on her face, she knew that her cheeks must be very red, the hot air sprayed between Pei Yuan's nose made her neck itch, she twisted her body and struggled, but she was detained by Pei Yuan closer and closer to him.

"I really don't know if it's good or not, I don't have the time to pay attention to who is watching me, I only care about watching Miss Shen during the whole banquet, I'm very busy, where is there any leisure." Pei Yuan's voice was low and dark, and people couldn't help but sink into it.

Shen Jiahe was stunned like this, Pei Yuan's words knocked on her head word by word, making her a little dizzy, until the person behind her let her go, and then pulled her to face herself: "So it's for this to be unhappy all night?" ”

She suddenly came back to her senses, and she really wanted to reply to the last sentence, shouldn't she be? But suddenly I didn't know how to speak. Her true identity, and her current relationship with Pei Yuan didn't seem to make her unhappy tonight for such reasons.

She stretched out her hand and pushed Pei Yuan, and she took two steps back: "If I said that I care about tonight's affairs, what would you think?" ”

Pei Yuan grinned: "I'll be happy." ”

Shen Jiahe looked at Pei Yuan with some surprise, Pei Yuan had no choice but to continue to look at her and said seriously: "I'll be glad that you finally started to care about me, I'm afraid that it has always been my own wishful thinking, Jiahe, tonight is probably my happiest day." ”

Shen Jiahe really wanted to ask if you liked Shen Jiahe in the past or Shen Jiahe now, but when he opened his mouth, he still didn't ask, and it seemed that it would be too much to ask these questions on a night like this.

Pei Yuan stepped forward and took her hand: "Wait a few days, I'll talk to Shen Xiang about our affairs, Jiahe, you wait for me." ”

Shen Jiahe felt the temperature in his hand, and the anger in his heart dissipated little by little.

"Rest well, don't think too much, I'm going back." Pei Yuan said goodbye to Shen Jiahe with a smile, but he didn't go far, but went up to the roof again, and he was reluctant to leave without seeing Shen Jiahe turn off the lights and sleep.

Shen Jiahe's boredom in her heart disappeared, she wanted to take a good look at the pipa, after she got the thing in her hand, there was a sound of envy around her, and she hadn't taken a good look at it herself.

Holding the pipa in his arms, stroking the delicate lines, his fingers inadvertently skimmed the strings, and the sound woke up Bai Wei in the outhouse, Bai Wei put on her clothes and went out, knocking on Shen Jiahe's door: "Hasn't Miss slept yet?" Do you want Bai Wei to serve you? ”

Shen Jiahe hurriedly put down the pipa: "You go and rest quickly, I just took the piano out to take a look, and I was about to sleep." ”

Bai Wei couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's not uncommon when you're in the carriage, but it's good to feel good again." ”

Shen Jiahe put away the pipa and was about to close the window to rest, but when he saw that Pei Yuan was still there, he hurriedly shouted in a low voice: "It's cold at night, why are you still staying here, go back quickly." ”

Bai Wei will knock on the door outside again: "Who is Miss talking to?" ”

Shen Jiahe gave Pei Yuan a look, and said in disguise: "There's a cat in the courtyard, I'll drive it away!" Why haven't you slept yet? ”

"It's cool in the autumn night, and the slave will bring you a blanket." After Bai Wei came in, the blanket was spread, and she looked at the window outside along Shen Jiahe, "Where are the cats?" ”

Shen Jiahe hurriedly stretched out his hand and pushed her away: "It's already gone, you can go back to sleep quickly." ”

After Bai Wei left, Shen Jiahe locked the door, and then ran to the window to look at Pei Yuan and said, "Go back quickly, it's too late, won't you have to go to the morning court tomorrow?" ”

Pei Yuan asked her with a smile: "Is this distressing me?" ”

Shen Jiahe couldn't help curling the corners of his lips, it was really rare to see Pei Yuan's childish appearance, so he coaxed him good-naturedly: "Yes, yes, Lord Xian, go back quickly, be careful that the little guy in the Prime Minister's Mansion will arrest you as a snack." ”
