The emperor drank a few glasses of wine with his ministers, then got up and left, and took Wei Guifei, who had a bad complexion, with a bad face by the way.

As soon as the two of them left, the atmosphere in the hall became lively, and Ji Nong, who had no one to talk to, was surrounded by a group of foreign women almost instantly, and Ji Fu, the eighth princess, who had always been hot, seemed very few around her.

Before Ji Nong got married, he was the owner of the top noble girl circle in Beijing, and even if the crown princess married into the royal family later, she couldn't compete with her. It wasn't until four years ago that she and Ji Fu got married one after another, and the circle of noble girls quietly changed. Because she was in Guangling, she naturally broke away from the circle in Beijing, and Ji Fu, who married into the top family Xu, began to call for wind and rain.

Although Ji Nong has only been here for less than a week, he also knows that this so-called circle of nobles in Beijing cannot be underestimated. The ladies in this circle represent their husbands and families, while the unmarried girls not only represent their mothers, but also represent the possibility of the future. Moreover, the status of women in this era was quite high, and if they formed a force, the impact on the entire aristocracy and the court was immeasurable.

Therefore, although she knew that what they were saying to herself at the moment was nothing more than polite and vain responses, she also listened with a smile and said a few words from time to time, but she never snubbed anyone around her. With the skillful help of Chao Rong around her, she quickly got to know each woman, and also understood the forces behind them.

Half an hour later, these noble ladies dispersed, and Ji Nong only felt that his face was stiff with a smile at the moment, so he secretly rubbed his face and motioned for Chao Rong to go out with him to breathe.

Go out from the apse, it is the Qianqiu Lake that is the largest body of water in the Chonghua Palace, and the palace lamps set up on the shore of the lake at night reflect the candles in the hall thoroughly, but it seems to be much lonely. On the night of early autumn, there was a wind blowing on the water, which made Ji Nong shiver. The empathetic Chao Rong saw that she was a little cold, and immediately asked if she wanted to go to the side hall to pick up a cloak for her, and when Ji Nong nodded, Chao Rong walked back to the hall gently and skillfully, leaving Ji Nong alone here.

"Your Highness?" Ji Nong was looking at the distraction of the palace lamp in the distance, wondering why Chao Rong hadn't come back yet, when she heard a very nice and unfamiliar male voice behind her, and when she turned around to see the man's face, she put on a light smile and looked at him softly.

"The minister hasn't congratulated the eldest princess yet." Pei Lun's eyebrows and eyes were light, and when he smiled at this time, he became more and more clear, "Just now you were surrounded by a group of noble women, and you were very proud when you looked at it." ”

This is really not very beautiful in terms of the relationship between the two who are basically strangers now. But Ji Nong, who has read the original book, is very clear, for a person like Pei Lun who is indifferent to the extreme, the flamboyant and unrestrained Ji Nong has an almost fatal attraction, although the time for the two to meet this time is advanced, but the scene and dialogue are almost the same as the monograph, so she is not only angry, but also very happy.

Because, Pei Lun, whether he is now or later, has always maintained such a dull temperament after becoming a powerful minister who can almost be equal to Xie Yao, and now he can speak for himself when he first sees him, which is already a special preferential treatment.

"If that's congratulating, it's okay not to congratulate." Ji Nong's tone was also flat, but she knew that what Pei Lun ate the most was the original owner's flamboyant and noble appearance, "Master Pei, did you say yes?" ”

Pei Lun didn't show any surprise at her knowing her identity, as if the two had already introduced themselves to each other.

"Your Highness is transparent." Pei Lun nodded and said, his tone was rare and very sincere.

"Master Pei was born in a family of many generations, and he has always understood that above the court, the ups and downs of individuals are never something that he can control. But nevertheless, I would like to thank you for the reminder. When Ji Nong saw him like this, he knew that he wanted to talk to him seriously, so he also let go of the bottom line slightly, "However, how could Master Pei, who was proud of the spring breeze, be here?" ”

"It's just going to come out and breathe." He took a few steps forward and stood beside Ji Nong before continuing, "After tonight, the hottest thing should be your Highness. ”

"It's not me who is hot, it's the eldest princess of Shining." She shook her head, "I still have self-knowledge about this matter. ”

"Your Highness." Pei Lunqing called her shallowly, and finally with ups and downs in his tone, "In the eyes of the minister, you and Princess Shining are one." ”

Ji Nong turned his head to look at him, and in a pair of slightly raised eyes, all the charms were all turned into clear confusion, and his face with clean makeup looked like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl at the moment.

Pei Lun's heart jumped, and he looked away quietly, before he said slowly: "Your Highness is credible?" ”

Ji Nong chuckled, but his tone was solemn: "I don't know why, even I think it's very strange." I actually think that you are someone I can trust. But until now, this is only the first time I have spoken alone with an adult. ”

"Your Royal Highness is now famous, but has no power, so you can only exchange money for status, just in the main hall, the ministers feel sorry for you, but it is just a Wei Siyuan, so you will lose the three years of taxes in Guangling and Shu in one go."

"He just gave birth to a good daughter, so he can be so arrogant, isn't Her Royal Highness the princess angry?"

"Adults don't have to be provoked with words." Ji Nong listened to Pei Lun's words, but felt a little deliberate, as if she was leading her to a situation of confrontation with the Wei family, so she also accepted his thoughts of being with him, and even his expression was a little colder, "This palace is still very clear about its own catties." ”

"Seeing that the adult and the prince are very close, if there is really a gap with the Wei family to the point that even the palace has to use it, the palace is a little afraid of the adult." Ji Nong couldn't see his expression clearly in the night, so he didn't bother anymore, but said slowly, "I don't dare to believe you anymore." ”

"If I tell Your Highness that the crown prince is not the same as the Wei family, you may understand what I mean?" Pei Lun sighed before he said, "Pei's family is the home of the old Jinglun. Successive generations of economic prosperity are also rich and noble. ”

"Since the world is noble, why bother yourself?" Ji Nong immediately replied without thinking, but choked Pei Lun there.

Ji Nong was also secretly annoyed at this time, and now that she and Pei Lun had a private conversation for the first time, it could be regarded as a collapse. She knew that she didn't have to say a few words, but somehow, in the face of Pei Lun's temptation, she couldn't suppress the dissatisfaction in her heart, as if she had to choke a few words in her heart to be happy. But she also has an inexplicable self-confidence, only to feel that although her words are harsh, Pei Lun will never ignore herself, who will make him her loyal dog NPC.

Sure enough, he sighed again in his ears, and his tone when he spoke again was inexplicably gentle: "What Your Highness said is very true, it is the subordinates who are stupid to use such unpopular means to test you." ”

"It's just that I don't know if we can still gain your trust if we are honest with each other at this time?"

"Now, I seem to trust you a little. Sure enough, Fang Cai's feeling was inexplicable. ”

"That's it, that's fine."

"Pei Lang might as well show some sincerity first, so that the palace can see what it means to be honest." Ji Nong looked at the face of Chunshan in the smoke cage, and felt that his tone was like that of a female hooligan.

"I'm just afraid that the princess will be abrupt." Pei Lun suddenly showed a smile, the smoke of Chunshan dissipated in an instant, and Ji Nong only felt that the lights in the hall were not as bright as his eyes, "Can Your Highness call me in the future, these three words of Master Pei don't sound honest." ”

"What's it called?"

"Shumo."

"Pei Shumo?"

"Exactly down there."
