Chapter 49: Now Is Not the Past (4)

I like this thing, and I can't think of it for a long time, but I remember the benefits of this place overnight, and at the same time I am told that it has come to an end - this taste, people who have never experienced it, will not understand.

Pei Yao sat back in his chair dejectedly and asked him, "Don't you particularly like something, knowing that it's there, but you can't eat or taste it?" ”

Xiao Di looked at her face in her eyes, and after a while, she nodded, "Well, there is." ”

"Isn't that it?" As she spoke, her face seemed to be full of words, 'Then you should understand me.'

When she was drunk for the first time in the Qiwang Mansion, Xiao Di thought that she was using wine to kill her sorrows, and she accidentally drank high.

But now it seems that this is not the case at all.

"I've never seen you so good in the past......" He curled up his index finger, tapped the small case, looked at her inquiringly and asked, "Is it too well hidden, or is it finally revealing your true nature?" ”

Pei Yao was excited, vigilant, and thought for a long time, but it was inevitably exposed, so he simply didn't hear his question, and then started another conversation.

"You just mentioned the Pan family," she said with concern, "what are your plans for the matter of King Huai'an?" ”

It's such a deliberate attempt to reverse the subject...... Xiao Di looked at her playfully for a moment, and then he cleared his throat and told her, "He'll be fine." ”

Pei Yao frowned.

She liked Xiao Di's answer, but such a sentence alone was obviously not enough to reassure her.

And then there's ......

He didn't investigate the reason why he cared so much about Xiao Yun.

Some time ago, she deliberately relaxed her disguise in front of him, and to this day, she knows very well that there are countless places where she has aroused his suspicions.

A few days ago, she might have felt that it didn't matter, but now, she was a little unsure of the pros and cons of doing so.

She pondered silently, lowered her head, and after a moment, his voice came from her ears again: "-Xiao Yun will be fine, but you, not necessarily." ”

Pei Yao was stunned for a moment, and looked at him in a daze: "What? ”

His Royal Highness the King of Chu said with a straight face: "From now on, your food and drink will be arranged by the back kitchen, and there is no need to fire in the Hebi Palace." After a pause, he looked at her and said, "Don't be spicy, avoid cold, and avoid alcohol." Also, you are not allowed to leave the house. ”

"What...... Pei Yao's mind buzzed, and he suddenly turned together, almost not standing still, "What do you mean?" Remember what I said to you that night, don't you? ”

Xiao Di's eyes narrowed: "You mean, this king is revenge?" ”

"I ......" she was speechless for a while, glared at him for a long time, and her arrogance slowly decreased: "Your Highness, I am not a person who does not know what to do, what about this time...... I overestimated the amount of alcohol I had drunk, and it was my fault for making such a mess - I was wrong, and I promise never to do it again, but you can't beat me to death like this, and you won't leave me any leeway, right? ”

As she spoke, her voice became a little louder: "Don't say anything else, this 'not allowed to leave the house', you are just embarrassing me!" …… Before Aunt Song died, I promised her to take care of her mother! ”

Xiao Di paused, paused, nodded and said, "Well, if you are so filial, then this last one can be avoided." ”

Pei Yaowei didn't have time to gain an inch, and listened to him ruthlessly: "But the appetite is not negotiable." ”

After speaking, he got up and left the library.

"I ......" watched his back fade away, and she gritted her teeth and whispered, "I hate you!" ”

After raising in the house for two days, Pei Yaowei couldn't stay still, and early in the morning, when she heard that Xiao Di was not there, she ordered Qingchen to prepare a car to enter the palace.

After reciting the scriptures with the Empress Dowager Li for a long time with the Shou Palace, when leaving, Qingchen asked her if she would go back to the house or go to the Xiancui Palace to have a look. Pei Yaowei shook his head, but said, "Go to the Yecheng Palace." ”

Aunt Song's deathbed confession, these days, she has been thinking about it in her heart. Empress Dowager Li's peaceful days in the palace were originally spelled out from embattled. When the emperor of the dynasty is the sworn enemy of her own son, this palace is full of the power of Xiao Zhu and the Empress Dowager Liang, in such a situation, it is almost impossible to find her a 'Song Yifeng' who has been in the foam for many years.

Now that Xiao Di is still in Beijing, Pei Yaowei is also convenient to enter the palace to accompany her, but this is not a long-term solution, after all, I can't tell when the king of Chu will return to the fiefdom.

After thinking about it, she thought of Qingtan.

"The princess is not here by chance! After the princess finished her lunch, she went to the royal garden to take a stroll to eat, and she was not in the palace at this time! ”

The hall of Yecheng was empty, and Jia Ran told her where Qingtan went, and then said: "Why don't you come into the palace to have a cup of tea and wait for a while?" The princess is probably coming back soon, and she will be glad to see you here! ”

"That's it." Pei Yao said with a smile: "I can't stay anymore, I have nothing to do, so I walked to the imperial garden to welcome the princess." ”

When Jia Ran heard this, he no longer insisted, and only led her to a route to Qingtan, and sent her away.

Pei Qingtan went around in the golden corn garden, and the whole person was steamed by the fragrant aroma of osmanthus Shi Shiran, and he turned his head to want to go back to the dormitory, but when he passed by the Drawing Fang Pavilion, he was tripped by the noise coming from inside.

The sideburns in the pavilion were like clouds, and it was Meng Jieyu, Shu Meiren and other people who were talking.

“…… Oh, Your Majesty really has a heart, the three years of national filial piety are not counted, this is the fourth year, and she still has to do such a solemn and heavy life taboo for her - just do it, call some monks and monks to chant the scriptures, why let our sisters copy the Buddhist scriptures one by one to give her excess? It's really dead, and it doesn't stop! ”

Shu Meiren's voice was as graceful as a yellow warbler, which should have been very beautiful, but Qingtan, who was behind the rocks, heard her words, but only rushed up to tear her mouth.

Suddenly, there was a lazy and smiling voice in the pavilion, this voice, Qingtan is more familiar - this is exactly at the end of last year, because of the phoenix head earring, in front of the Empress Dowager Liang, Meng Susu, who was demoted from Shurong to Jieyu by Xiao Zhu.

"Oops...... How dare my sister talk like that? Meng Jieyu persuaded with a smile: "If you say such disrespectful to the former queen, if this spreads, my sister is afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat!" ”

Shu Shi glanced left and right, turned around, didn't care at all, and sneered: "What do I have to be afraid of?" Is it possible that Your Majesty can still ask me to be martyred by the first queen? ”

With that, the few people sitting around giggled.

Behind the mountain stone, Su Xue, who was following Qingtan, called softly: "Princess......"

Qing Tan glanced at her and shook his head.

She still wants to hear what other things can be said in this person's mouth.

"Speaking of which, my sister entered the palace late, a few years ago, when His Majesty had a fierce quarrel with the King of Chu, my sister was still young, but I vaguely heard that the first queen played a great role in this?" It was Qiao Meiren who spoke. She suppressed her voice again, and then asked curiously: "I heard that when Your Majesty ascended to Yong, he also said in front of hundreds of civil and military officials that he would take Empress Xian as a great benefactor?" I want to ask Sister Meng, I don't know if there has ever been such a thing? ”

Meng Jieyu smiled, and before she could speak, Shu Meiren on the side said first: "Naturally, there is!" If you talk about the ability of the first queen Ji Ji Si Chen...... Since the founding of the Great Liang, I am afraid that there is no queen who can compare to her! ”

The three of you said a word to me for a long time, Qing Tan's face became worse and worse, and just when she was about to lose her listening, the words that Qiao Meiren followed stopped her steps again.

"Alas...... Speaking of which, I'm really curious! Qiao Mei said: "I don't know which of the rumors between the first queen, the emperor, and the king of Chu are true and which are false!" ”

Meng Jieyu's eyes flickered: "What does my sister mean?" ”

Qiao Meiren smiled mysteriously, "Naturally, between this sincerity and falsehood, which one is responsible for which one, and which one is calculating!" ”

"What can I say...... Shu Meiren said, "Back then, the rumors were chaotic, some people said that the daughter of the Pei family had an affair with the King of Qin, and the prince learned about it and was resentful, so he regretted the marriage." However, more people said that it was the prince who had an affair with the wife of the second son of the Pei family and failed the girl of the Pei family...... Tsk, it's only strange that I was born a few years late, if I am lucky enough to meet the first queen, I can ask her in person, and I will understand! With that, she giggled herself.

Qiao Shi and Shu Shi smiled at each other and made fun of each other, Meng Jieyu was silent for a long time before she sighed and said: "If you tell me, it is still my sister's first statement, which is slightly more credible." ”

When Qingtan heard this, his expression sank two points again.

Qiao Meiren said curiously: "Oh? Why did my sister say this? ”

Meng Jieyu glanced at her with a smile and said, "If it weren't for the previous relationship, why did that person become the princess of Qin in a blink of an eye?" Say marry and marry, people's hearts are so changeable, forgive me for being lonely and unheard! ”

"Don't say it, my sister's guess is really reasonable!" Qiao Meiren said, suddenly snorted and covered her mouth lightly, "If this is the case, then the former queen is inevitably too ......."

Too what? Qingtan said in his heart, too vicious? Or is it excessive?

Meng Jieyu sighed softly: "The wrist of the first queen ...... Who would dare to compare with that? Don't say anything else, let's just say that the two kings seized the heir back then, although the Pei family was from Pei Gong down, and the father and son were all lost, but in the end, only the matter of the second son of the Pei family was the handiwork of the King of Chu - that was only after the former queen borrowed the hand of Jiang Servant and calculated the death of the King of Chu's own uncle, Guohou Li Zheng. Alas...... This pile of piles one by one, if you really want to count it, I'm afraid there are more unjust souls under the hands of the first queen! No wonder Your Majesty asked us to copy the scriptures and pray together, and give her more than that! ”

"Not really!" Shu Meiren smiled contemptuously, "Not to mention those in the court, just in this harem, there are few children who died in her hands!" ”

The words landed immediately, and behind Shu's body, a cold voice suddenly asked: "Who died in whose hands?" ”

The three people in the pavilion were all startled, and even the close servants who were waiting around them all forgot about the source of the sound.

Princess Yecheng walked out from behind the rocks, her face gloomy and tight.
