Chapter 34: Defects

In the previous life, Pei Yue went to the Qionglin banquet in the palace after traveling the streets, and did not return to the eldest princess's mansion until late at night.

After Pei Yue returned home, he found that Zhao Wanning was not waiting for him in Yueyuan, so he found Qingkuang Yuan and picked up Zhao Wanning from the small Buddha hall.

Originally, he made an appointment with Zhao Wanning, but he even had a rare extravagance, and booked the wing room with the best view of the street on the second floor of Qingle Restaurant in advance, just so that Zhao Wanning could see his appearance on the street.

When passing by Qingle Restaurant, Pei Yue looked up with joy, thinking that he could meet Zhao Wanning's eyes, but he didn't want the room to be empty, and there was no one.

He thought that Zhao Wanning didn't come, the person he wanted to see the most was not there, and even the joy of Zhongsanyuan was not shared, and his mood became depressed. He just smiled numbly at the street and Qionglin banquet in the back, but he didn't know what was going on at all.

Pei Yue had been thinking about it all night, he thought that Zhao Wanning had no affection for him. even thought about whether Zhao Wanning wanted to take the opportunity to reconcile with him.

When people are insecure, they love to think wildly, even if they are as smart as Pei Yue, they are trapped in this love network and can't break free.

It wasn't until he returned home and saw the empty Yueyue Garden that Pei Yue knew that Zhao Wanning was locked up.

She didn't want to see him, she was just trapped.

That night, Pei Yue carried Zhao Wanning all the way back to Yueyuan from the small Buddha Hall in Qingkuang Courtyard.

Pei Yue was immersed in the shortcomings of his previous life.

I don't know which girl actually threw down a hydrangea, and the hydrangea almost hit Pei Yue's head. Pei Yue, who was caught in his thoughts, felt that something was coming towards him, reflexively blocked it with his hand, and then looked up in the direction where the hydrangea was smashed.

On the second floor of the restaurant, there were three young girls crowded by the window lattice. The girl in the middle looked at him apologetically, it should be the hydrangea she tossed.

Pei Yue's eyes were attracted by the person in the room next to them. Zhao Wanning was wearing a goose-yellow shirt, like a clever and cute yellow bird.

Like the other women, she leaned out to look at him.

Zhao Wanning unexpectedly bumped into Pei Yue's sight, she was taken aback, she didn't expect Pei Yue to look up in her direction, and the handkerchief in her hand suddenly took off and left.

The goose-yellow handkerchief fluttered in the air along with the handkerchiefs thrown by the other women.

Pei Yue suddenly raised his hand, and the handkerchief flew towards Pei Yue like a yellow bird.

He grabbed the handkerchief. Pei Yue smiled in the direction of Zhao Wanning, laughing wantonly and freely, as if the shortcomings in his heart had been filled.

Zhao Wanning also smiled. She thought that she really needed to congratulate Pei Yue to make up for the lack of seeing him parade in the streets in her previous life.

Zhao Wanning lip synched: "Pei Sanyuan." ”

Pei Yue's heart moved.

Zhao Wanning is also reborn......

Is it?

The two looked at each other in the air. There was a rush of people and a lot of noise. But they could only see each other in their eyes.

Qionglin banquet.

Zhao Wangjin picked up the wine glass and took the initiative to walk to Pei Yue's side.

The two looked at each other and smiled, then raised their glasses and drank together.

Just now, Zhao Wangjin, in the name of the crown prince, recommended Pei Yue to the Holy Lord to enter the Dali Temple and awarded the Dali Temple Temple.

Dali Temple is the temple is positive, the official position of the six products, in charge of the Dali Temple lawsuit, to the right article.

Chao for Tian Shelang, twilight to the Tianzi Hall.

Who would have thought that Pei Yue would be able to connect the three yuan and immediately worship the court. You must know that the previous champion has been waiting for three years in the Hanlin Academy, and he is just a Hanlin who copies books.

Among the ministers of the court, there are many champions in the spring of the past years, and they are also honestly waiting in the Hanlin Academy until the predecessors have gone to fill the vacancies before they have the opportunity to enter this court. Now that they are watching Pei Yue leap from a useless scholar to a six-grade official in the current dynasty, how can they not be blushing?

As soon as the prince's words of recommendation came out, the hall immediately knelt down.

However, on the grounds of Pei Yue's strategy on the temple test today, the saint tried his best to disregard public opinion and announced that Pei Yue would enter the court as an official on the spot.

has the prince as a recommendation, the saint as a guarantee, and everyone in the hall has to accept it.

When a person with a heart is recommended by the prince, he can smell a hint of opportunity.

On the surface, it was the prince who was recommending Pei Yue, but in fact, it was just the mouth of the prince who was borrowed by the saint. In order to be eclectic, break the rules, and send Pei Yue to Dali Temple.

The son of General Pei entered the Dali Temple, took charge of the lawsuit, and was in charge of the law, and if necessary, he could also send an envoy to the local area to review the cases of previous years.

How holy it is, it goes without saying.

"Father's game has pushed you into the limelight." Zhao Wangjin said in a low voice.

Pei Yue filled his wine glass with wine, and said indifferently: "I knew before I entered the game, once I stepped into it, I couldn't help myself. It's just that he has become a target in everyone's eyes. ”

"No regrets?" Zhao Wangjin asked seriously.

"No regrets." Pei Yue raised his hand to raise a glass with Zhao Wangjin, and then drank it all.

"As the only son of the Pei family, I have my obligations and responsibilities. What's more, it was my biological father who was wronged. I can't let him die like this. I want to give him, to Pei Jiajun, an explanation. ”

Zhao Wangjin patted Pei Yue on the shoulder: "Today is the big day of your Lianzhong Sanyuan, and it is a good start." Don't bring up these heavy topics just yet. ”

Pei Yue poured another glass of wine for Zhao Wangjin: "Speaking of the big day, Yuan Qing has a reluctant request, and I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be fulfilled." ”

Zhao Wangjin was happy, he and Pei Yue grew up together since childhood, and they were like brothers, but he didn't expect Pei Yue to ask him.

"Let's talk about it."

Pei Yue was silent for a moment, and when he spoke again, his tone was three points of temptation and three points of shyness: "I want double happiness to come to the door." ”

Zhao Wangjin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "What should I be?" It turned out that our Yuan Qingchun heart was budding. Tell me which girl it is. ”

Pei Yue looked straight into Zhao Wangjin's eyes and said seriously: "You also know." ”

"I.... I am happy with the county lord of Qinghe. ”

The evening breeze blows, and the palace lights are faint. Zhao Wangjin seemed to see Pei Yue's blushing ears.

"Okay, you. It turned out that he had a crush on my cousin Wanning. Zhao Wangjin thought for a while, and then said: "But my cousin has a marriage contract for a long time, and she is the husband chosen by the Marquis of Zhenbei for her." The man seemed to be the grandson of the Qi clan, and when his father died, he followed his mother back to the clan and changed his mother's surname. “

"I remember the battle of Luochuan a few days ago, and he made military achievements in this battle."

"You're one step late."

"It's not late." Pei Yue immediately explained: "The county lord of Qinghe has already broken off the marriage contract with General Qi. Now, she is still in the boudoir. ”

"And this?" Zhao Wangjin looked puzzled. He really didn't know about it, and there were too few things about Zhao Wanning in his mind. Knowing that Zhao Wanning had a marriage contract, it was because the Marquis of Zhenbei made too much trouble at the beginning, and the eldest princess cried aggrievedly in front of the Queen Mother, and he was deeply impressed.

Pei Yue put down the wine glass in his hand, and arched his hand towards Zhao Wangjin: "I have been happy with the Lord of Wanning for a long time, and I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be fulfilled." ”

Zhao Wangjin's right hand unconsciously stroked the lines on the wine glass, and said in a deep voice: "Since you said that Wanning's marriage contract has been dissolved, and you men and women are not married, then there should be no problem in this matter." ”

"You kid tell me now, you don't want me to come to the door for you to propose, right?"

Pei Yue hurriedly filled Zhao Wangjin's wine glass with wine: "I also hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will see that Yuan Qing is infatuated with the Lord of Wanning......"

Zhao Wangjin was a little vigilant: "Yuanqing, since you are happy with Wanning, why don't you let Taifu Pei come forward and go to the eldest princess's mansion to propose marriage?" ”

Pei Yue's smile froze, but he still told the truth: "Grandpa, he doesn't agree." ”

"Why?"

Pei Yue said helplessly: "He is worried that my marriage to the county lord will affect my career." More importantly, it will affect me to overturn the case for my father. ”

"What's that?" Zhao Wangjin picked up the wine glass and drank it all. "Since the eldest princess and the Marquis of Zhenbei reconciled, the father and emperor no longer restricted the future of the concubine line. Even if you marry my eldest sister, it will not limit your development in the court. What's more, Wanning is just a county lord, and my Da Zhou has never restricted the county horses. ”

"As you know, I am now worried about external troubles and lack of talents, which is different from the abundance of talents more than ten years ago. My father is now eager to recruit more talents. ”

"Besides, my father still expects you to find out what happened to General Pei back then, so how can he hinder you just because you married Wanning?"

"It's up to me." Zhao Wangjin stretched out his finger and nodded at Pei Yue. "But Wanning is my cousin after all, so I still have to ask her opinion first. It's a lifelong event for Wan Ning, even if you are my good brother, I can't help but consider her thoughts. ”

"If she's willing, that's for the best." Zhao Wangjin thought of the Pisces jade pendant, and raised his eyes to look at Pei Yue: "If she doesn't want to, don't force it." ”

Pei Yue bowed gratefully: "Yuan Qing thanked His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Zhao Wangjin also wants to see Pei Yue's double happiness, and the big Dengke will be the little Dengke.

He found time and sneaked out of the palace to find Zhao Wanning.

After all, it is a major marriage event, and Zhao Wangjin wants to explore Zhao Wanning's tone first, so as to avoid too many people knowing about it and affecting her reputation.

After the Qionglin banquet, Zhao Wangjin asked someone about Zhao Wanning, and also knew about the eldest princess's mistreatment of her.

The eldest princess has always dared to love and hate. At the beginning, Zhao Wanning's father did not hesitate to leave Zhao Wanning and the eldest princess in order to go back to inherit the title, how could the eldest princess not be angry?

Later, in order to show his loyalty to the royal family, the Marquis of Nazhen Beihou designed the eldest princess to marry Zhao Wanning with the children of his clan.

The eldest princess fell seriously ill because of this. After recovering from her illness, the eldest princess changed her personality. It was also since then that Zhao Wangjin never saw the eldest princess take Zhao Wanning into the palace again. After that, Zhao Wangjin's memory of Zhao Wanning was gone.

As the eldest princess's maiden family, Zhao Wangjin is naturally on the side of the eldest princess. Rumours are always exaggerated, especially about people in the royal family. But he believes that tiger poison does not eat children. Even if the eldest princess resents Zhenbeihou, Zhao Wanning is her biological daughter who was conceived and born in October after all, how can she be extremely harsh on her?

Left and right are just rumors.

Zhao Wangjin didn't want to have a dislike with the eldest princess and Zhao Wanning because of this matter, so he thought about secretly asking Zhao Wanning what she meant first and probing her tone.

He knew that Zhao Wanning had opened a bookstore and a pastry shop in the capital, and he also knew that Zhao Wanning would go to the shop to inspect every fifteenth day of the new year.

Today happened to be fifteen, and Zhao Wangjin went directly to the bookstore.

When Zhao Wangjin arrived at the bookstore, Zhao Wanning was checking the newly arrived books.

She had read every book in the bookstore, and wanted to find a few words about Master Shancheng.

It's just that Master Shancheng Shenlong didn't see the end, and Zhao Wanning studied the book "Shancheng Collection" that Pei Yue copied to her, but found nothing.

When she saw Zhao Wangjin, Zhao Wanning was very surprised. She thought that Zhao Wangjin was a private interview with Weifu and inadvertently entered the bookstore.

"Tai-Brother Wangjin." Zhao Wanning almost called him the prince again.

Zhao Wangjin smiled and nodded: "Cousin Wanning, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"Can you sit somewhere else?"

Zhao Wanning nodded, and then took Zhao Wangjin to the teahouse opposite the bookstore.

In the center of the teahouse is a platform where the storyteller is telling a story.

Offstage are the people who drink tea and listen to stories.

Zhao Wangjin didn't like such a noisy place, but he didn't show it.

Zhao Wanning also got a glimpse of a clue from his tense side face.

But she didn't bother to look for any more places.

The teahouse is facing the second floor of the stage.

Xiao Er took a pot of Biluochun and withdrew.

Only Zhao Wanning and Zhao Wangjin were left in the box.

Zhao Wangjin went straight to the point: "Do you know Pei Yue?" ”

"He asked me to propose to you."
