Chapter 23: Doubts Gather (3)
Mr. Yiyuan didn't expect that he would receive such an unexpected result after such a long time with a random joke.
"But I take this medicine, it is a one-time effect, it doesn't mean that I won't grow hair in the future." Qingchen carefully tugged at Xiao Yun's sleeve and tried his best to comfort him: "Xiaoyun, you just think so, it's all over when it's off at this time, it's all about restoring your hair, it just so happened that you were sleeping out in the wind and eating a while ago, and the tips of your hair were as bad as dry grass. β
Xiao Yun leaned at her with a sneer.
He let out a deep sigh and said, "Okay, for the sake of Mr., I won't embarrass you." β
When Qingchen heard this, he was about to clap his hands, but he gasped and added: "But-"
The look of joy froze on her face, and she stared at Xiao Yun, for fear that he would not be able to spit out ivory from his dog's mouth.
The little prince touched his head sadly, and said pitifully: "This body is affected by the parents, I am afraid that my father will know under the spring, and it will be difficult for me to come to my dream at midnight." β
I see.
Qingchen put away his happy face, his eyelids were half drooping, he smacked his mouth, and said in his heart, are you worried that your father will be difficult for you, and you obviously want to find a reason to be difficult for me.
"Hiss......" Thinking about his cautious eyes, she said with a reluctant rush: "Then what do you want to do!" β
"Hey, now you're sorry for me, you still dare to be so aggressive with me?"
"You ββ!"
Seeing that this was about to be overwhelmed, on the side, Pei Yaowei glanced at Mr. Yiyuan and opened his mouth slowly.
"That's it," she raised her chin towards Xiao Yun, smiled with her eyebrows, and said, "Anyway, when you came to Beijing this time, you didn't bring any close attendants with you, and this disaster is really light, then I will suffer a little loss, before your hair grows out, let her come to you, serve you tea and water, how about it?" β
Xiao Yun met her secretive eyes, and a red cloud gradually spread out from the tip of her ear, as if she was embarrassed for a while, before she reluctantly said: "Since my sister-in-law is so bothered, then I will reluctantly agree." β
Qingchen glared at him: "Are you still reluctant?" You have a face! β
Xiao Yun smiled faintly: "What do you want to face?" I want hair. β
The little girl immediately lost her words.
After a busy morning, when I finally left the house and set off, it was already around noon.
As soon as she got into the carriage, Pei Yaowei couldn't help it, giggled non-stop, and only laughed at herself before it came to an end.
Xiao Di patted her on the back helplessly, "Is it so funny?" β
"Isn't that funny?" She wiped her tears, shook her head and said, "This is also thanks to luck - fortunately, he was born beautiful, and now he is bald, but his facial features are revealed, and he is reluctant to look away!" If someone else is changed......" As soon as she thought of this possibility, she shrank her neck and shook it, "It is estimated that Qingchen will be dead for a long time!" β
"Don't say that to his face." Xiao Di reminded: "It's easy to get angry with him." β
The two joked about this for a moment, and as the carriage passed through the city gate, Xiao Di looked at the sky and said, "It's late to come out today, so I'm in a hurry, after paying homage to my father-in-law later, let's go directly to the other garden to stay overnight, and then go back to the city tomorrow, okay?" β
Pei Yaowei didn't have the slightest objection to his words, but somehow, he vaguely felt that something seemed to be wrong.
Today is June 23, the death day of Pei Xi, the Duke of Qi of Huaiguo. After Qi Gongxue, the body was sent back to his hometown to be buried in Shaofang City, and Pei Yaowei set up a tablet for his father in the temple in his early years, so that it was convenient to remember and worship every year. Originally, when Xiao Di wanted to come with her at the beginning, she was still a little hesitant, afraid that the two of them would be too obvious, and if they were discovered by others, they would arouse any suspicion. But Xiao Di is very calm about this.
"Last year, when you were still 'together', I dared to take you to worship openly, if you were the only one to go this year, it would be suspicious." He comforted her at the time, "Don't worry, there won't be anything." Even if Xiao Chai knew, he would only think that I was demonstrating to him. β
When Pei Yaowei heard this, it seemed that this was the same reason, so she didn't bother with anything anymore.
Even so, at this moment, when they arrived at the temple, many words could not be said too openly.
Pei Yaowei knelt in front of Pei Xi's spiritual seat for a long time.
She wants to tell her father all what she has experienced for so long, she wants to explain to Xiao Di and her father, explain all kinds of inside information about his so-called 'rebellion against marriage', she wants to tell her father that she is doing well now, and she will do her best to take care of Qingtan, she wants to reassure her father.
But because of the sentence 'the wall has ears', she can't say these words.
Xiao Di knelt beside her, and when her eyes turned red silently, he also silently held her hand.
"Father and daughter are connected." He whispered in her ear: "Your thoughts, my father-in-law will understand." β
She nodded, and said I understand, but in her heart......
With Xiao Di's words, the feeling that something was wrong before slowly came out again.
When leaving the temple, it was already dusk, and the car drove directly to the other garden, Cheng Yongting got the letter early in the morning, and led people to wait in front of the door early. The two got out of the carriage and walked to the door, Pei Yao thought all the way, and stood still.
His arm was pulled, and Xiao Di also stopped. He looked at her suspiciously, "What's wrong?" β
Pei Yaoyan's face was a little wrong.
"You ......" She raised her eyes to look at Xiao Di, her eyes were full of hesitation, and with this little white face, it startled Xiao Di.
"What's wrong with you?" He became serious, took her hands and asked, "What's uncomfortable?" β
She shook her head very slowly, her eyes still fixed on him.
For a moment, his heart trembled, as if some ulterior secret had suddenly been discovered.
Maybe his worried look was too frightening, but it stirred her back to her senses. Pei Yaowei blinked vigorously and said, "It's nothing, I just thought of something and thought of the tip of the horn, and I was stunned for a while." She squeezed his palm and said with relief, "Don't worry, I'm fine." β
Xiao Di didn't believe it.
Her face just now was by no means like she hadn't figured out anything, if she really wanted to say it, it was like Lingtai Qingming, but she launched an answer that she didn't want to accept.
He glanced at the servants around him, and did not pursue any further, until the two of them returned to the room and sent all the slaves, and then he pulled her in front of him and looked at her solemnly.
"What do you think I'm doing?" She rubbed her face, unconsciously avoided his gaze, and deliberately quipped: "Haven't you seen enough all day?" Or do you want to see if I'm losing my hair? β
Xiao Di's face froze, and he was almost misled by her, stabilized his mind, and couldn't help but secretly scolded Xiao Yun a few words.
"Pei Yaowei, if you have anything to say, you have to talk to me." He looked at her seriously, his eyes heavy for no reason: "Don't hold it in your heart and think about it." β
She opened her mouth unconsciously, and the words that came to her mouth stopped abruptly, and finally, she smiled miserably.
"There's nothing I can't think of." She sat down beside him and leaned on one of his arms, "It's you." Is there something you can't think of and want to talk to me about? β
Xiao Di didn't react at first, as if she was pondering the meaning of her words, and after a while, she didn't know if she guessed something, and the whole person froze.
He hoped that Pei Yaowei hadn't noticed his gaffe, but ...... Apparently this is unlikely.
ββ¦β¦ What's up? For a long time, he asked tentatively.
"Do you want me to know?" She asked, "Xiao Di, if you don't want me to know, I don't know anything." β
I don't know if it's because she's too distressed, her voice doesn't have much strength at the moment, gently and softly, more gentle than the warm sun of spring.
But these two words that couldn't be lighter turned Xiao Di into a stone on the spot.
He didn't speak for a long, long time, Pei Yao touched his palm, only to find that he was cold and chilly, it was summer, but he was covered with cold sweat.
She was still a little unsure about her guess, but at the moment, she ...... That last hope was gone.
She finally understood what the secret he had hidden deep in his heart and did not dare to tell him.
I don't know how long it took, Xiao Di finally let go of that breath, her body shook, and she held her hand like an anti-guest.
He had never used such a hard force on her, Pei Yaowei felt that the metacarpal bones of her hands were about to be crushed, but she felt that it didn't matter if he had more strength.
- As long as the pain in his heart can be cleared by one point.
"But you already know it......" He asked, with a long exhale, closing his eyes and covering all his emotions, "...... How did you guess that? β
There are some things that you can never think of if you can't think of them, but once you find a clue, everything that goes from then to rest will come without any effort.
She lifted her leg and turned, and sat on his lap.
Xiao Di buried his head in her neck socket and hugged her very tightly.
"I told you that I was in Butai at the time, and I dreamed with you through the Long Stygian Sword." She whispered softly in his ear, "Do you know what impressed me the most among those past scenes? β
Xiao Di did not speak.
She continued: "When the first emperor issued an edict to select the crown princess, you returned from a safari and waited for him outside the Chongtian Palace, and the scene of your father and son getting along ......"
"Xiao Di, when I was a child, I read 'Father and son fight for the world, and I don't believe that there is a king in the world.'" I never knew that the father and son of the heavenly family could get along like that. β
- So peaceful, so warm, so ...... Mortal.
At that time, every scene in the Chongtian Palaceβthe first emperor called himself 'father' to him, the father and son shared the same bowl of soup, and the teasing and amusing of the monarch and the minister at allβshe saw it in her eyes, and she only felt that such a happy scene was beyond her father's and brother's expectations.
"You know now." In his ear, he said, "Indeed not." β
