In fact, coupled with what Zhu Wu and Zhu Yong did to the Northwest Army in secret, at this time, the general was in the capital, although he was still arrogant, but Pei Yuetong and Xu Jiuan had indeed seen that it was not far from achieving their goal on their side.

Pei Yuetong not only confused the general on his side, but also acted on his stepmother's side.

Because her stepmother obeyed the orders of the general, and she was from the general's side, Pei Yuetong had a lot of things that she couldn't say to her, but she couldn't be too cold to her.

Therefore, Pei Yuetong thought about it, and he should make some attitudes, that is, to be kind to his stepmother, or to deliberately make friends, because all this is done to help the emperor, and also to help the entire royal family and the country.

Now, foreign enemies are watching, and now internal worries are everywhere, and the country really can't afford to toss, and it can't let a figure like a general hold real power anymore.

In order to be friendly with her stepmother, Pei Yuetong also suppressed the disgust in her heart.

Of course, if nothing else, at this moment, it is true that some illusions should be created to make the stepmother think that he wants to be friendly with her, and he deliberately flatters her.

On this day, Pei Yuetong found her stepmother, and her stepmother was also followed by the maid, and a large group of people embraced her, because of the general, the stepmother seemed to be very popular with everyone here.

At least on the surface, no one dared to be disrespectful to her anymore.

Therefore, Pei Yuetong also deliberately flattered, so she shouted to her stepmother: "To meet my mother, I made some pastries today, and I specially sent them to my mother for my mother to taste!" ”

At this time, when the stepmother heard Pei Yuetong's words, she was also stunned, thinking what happened to her today? The sun is coming in the west, and it will even come to please me.

Although he was skeptical, he still smiled happily on his face: "Hehe, it's really a shame that you have the heart to make some pastries, but I just don't know if these pastries you make can be eaten?" Bring me a piece and let me try it! ”

After the stepmother finished speaking, she instructed her subordinates to take the plate of pastries from Pei Yuetong.

The stepmother picked one out of the plate, bit it into her mouth, tasted it, and it tasted very good.

But she still said sarcastically: "It's not good, pastries are not pastries, what difference can there be?" People say your pastries are delicious, but I don't think that's the case! ”

After listening to her stepmother's words, Pei Yuetong also knew that this stepmother should be because of the general, so she didn't pay much attention to herself, and even said that she deliberately mocked herself to suppress her.

However, Pei Yuetong doesn't care about this, the goal she wants has been achieved, and she takes the initiative to make friends with her stepmother, so that her stepmother can relax her vigilance.

Obviously, the stepmother is because of the general, and when she saw Pei Yuetong's softness, she didn't care about Pei Yuetong in her heart, and she became more and more disrespectful.

However, the play played by Pei Yuetong did make many ladies see it, and when they saw this scene, they thought: "What's wrong with this Pei Yuetong?" How did she curry favor with her stepmother? Hasn't she always been lukewarm to her stepmother, and even resentful of her stepmother? Is the sun coming out of the west today? ”

In fact, not only these ladies were suspicious, but her stepmother was also a little incomprehensible, but because of the general, her stepmother became more and more presumptuous towards Pei Yuetong.

And those ladies will not only have some thoughts in their hearts when they see them.

They thought to themselves: "What are you trying to do with Jiu'an and Pei Yuetong?" Why did Pei Yuetong please her stepmother so much? Is it also because of the fear of the general? So I want to please her stepmom! ”

These ladies see it in their eyes, and they have their own thoughts in their hearts.

However, after all, she is also an understanding person, seeing Pei Yuetong so flattering her stepmother, knowing that this is coming closer, she is not only afraid of the general's power.

At the same time, he also thought in his heart: "Pei Yuetong is like this, please her, if we ignore her, what if we are hated by her at that time?" ”

Therefore, these ladies began to follow suit, and they brought some jewelry and other things to visit Pei Yuetong's stepmother.

And followed Pei Yuetong to please her stepmother, often said some nice things, coaxed her, and then gave her some things, so as to gain her favor.

At this time, Pei Yuetong saw clearly that the people around her were all influenced by herself, and she knew that pleasing her stepmother was what she wanted to see, just to hold her stepmother high, so as to relax their vigilance.

Because her stepmother is by the general's side, she must have obeyed the general's orders.

And everything that he shows on his side will be passed on to the general through his stepmother, which not only relaxes the vigilance of the stepmother, but also paralyzes the perception of the general.

The general would not have doubted everything that happened to the Northwest Army, and he couldn't even imagine that Pei Yuetong, who was trying to please his stepmother, had already begun to plot against the Northwest Army.

However, everything Pei Yuetong did, although it was said that she might be scorned by her stepmother, or even coldly looked down upon by her stepmother, it was all worth it, and she was not afraid of anything when she was by her side for a long time.

Xu Jiu'an often comforts Pei Yuetong, although Pei Yuetong feels that she doesn't care about this, but with Jiu'an by her side to comfort herself, she feels more and more at ease.

Gradually, during this period of time, these ladies followed Pei Yuetong to visit their stepmother all the time, and constantly courted their stepmother.

After such a toss, not only was the general extremely arrogant in the capital, but Pei Yuetong's stepmother was also domineering in the capital, because Pei Yuetong and these ladies bowed to her, and constantly curry favor with her, holding her high.

is like a person sitting on the top, making her think that she is really so sought after, really so respected, and even everyone flatters her because they are afraid of the power of the general.

However, on this day, Pei Yuetong received an invitation, which turned out to be Mrs. Shilang who invited Pei Yuetong to her home as a guest.

Pei Yuetong thought about it, she felt that Mrs. Shilang should have also sensed several things that had happened recently, including the fact that she was currying favor with her stepmother.

"She must have something to ask, but I can't say, since Madame Shilang invited me, I'll go and meet her, and explain a few words to them by the way, and then things will go more smoothly!"

Mrs. Shilang felt that Pei Yuetong's doing this was still not in line with her usual style, because Pei Yuetong had always disliked the Wang family of Shangshu Mansion, and now she suddenly had some doubts about her stammering Mrs. Shilang like this.

"Princess Tai, why have you been so good with the Wang family of Shangshu Mansion recently, don't you dislike her style?" Mrs. Shilang had questions, so she told Pei Yuetong directly.

"Recently, the brave general has become almost powerful in the court, and there is nothing strange about me going to befriend Mrs. Shangshu." Pei Yuetong heard Mrs. Shilang ask this, and it was not easy to tell her her purpose directly, because this matter should not be revealed now, so as not to startle the snake.

So Pei Yuetong said perfunctorily to Mrs. Shilang, wanting to be vague about this matter, because this matter cannot be told to outsiders now.
