Inside a private room

Zhao Chengbei took the sensation under Fang Cai into his eyes, and looked at Pei Xingzhao with a smile: "Pei Gongzi is very popular here. ”

Pei Xingzhao refilled the tea for him, and replied with a smile: "It's a pity that I'm a long-term and single-minded person, and I only take one scoop of weak water for 3,000, but I want to make the girls sad." ”

This seems to mean something.

A cold light flashed in Zhao Chengbei's eyes, and he got straight to the point: "I told Pei Gongzi last time, how did Pei Gongzi think about it?" ”

Pei Xingzhao smiled slightly, he turned his head to look down at the stage, at this time, he was playing and singing a Gusu song ordered by a guest.

"This piece depicts the beauty of Gusu, although I have never been to Yejing, but I think this is more suitable for me."

Zhao Chengbei's face sank.

Pei Xingzhao turned his head and looked at Zhao Chengbei with a smile in his eyes: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince won't be strong, right?" ”

Zhao Chengbei looked at him for a moment, smiled coldly, took a sip of the teacup, and then said lightly: "His Royal Highness is just giving you a chance, how can it be difficult to talk about being a strong man?" ”

Pei Xingzhao knew that he had something to say, so he didn't say anything for a while.

Sure enough, after a while, Zhao Chengbei continued: "It seems that in Pei Gongzi's heart, Miss Shen is more important than the Pei family. ”

The threat is clear.

Pei Xingzhao's eyes sank slightly, and after a while, he looked at Zhao Chengbei and said, "I know what His Highness wants." ”

Zhao Chengbei's action of putting the tea cup was stagnant, and there was a cold and murderous aura on his face, but he was quickly covered by him and said indifferently: "Oh? Then tell me what His Highness wants. ”

"There were several big battles last year, and after the floods, there were epidemics in the disaster areas, plus military salaries, which is a lot of money." Pei Xingzhao said in a slow voice.

When his words fell, Zhao Chengbei's face changed.

"You dare to talk about the government."

"Don't dare, it's just my guess." Pei Xingzhao looked at Zhao Chengbei and said in a soft tone: "Actually, I didn't think of this at first, I was just curious why Her Royal Highness the Princess took a fancy to me." ”

Zhao Chengbei stared at him fiercely.

"I asked Her Royal Highness the Princess, and Her Royal Highness the Princess said that she had taken a fancy to my face, but I asked Her Royal Highness the Princess, how many sons like Cui Gongzi are there in Yejing, and the princess replied, Yejing Gongzi has their own merits, and Cui Gongzi is just ordinary."

Pei Xingzhao smiled to himself when he said this: "I will ask Her Royal Highness the princess again, how am I compared to Gongzi Cui, Her Royal Highness the princess didn't answer, only glanced at me up and down lightly, the meaning is very clear, Shinong Industry and Commerce, I am just a prodigal son from a merchant, with no strengths, and compared with Cui Gongzi carefully cultivated by the family, that is to ask for humiliation." ”

"Then I feel very strange, Cui Gongzi is noble and gentle, talented and beautiful, but I am empty, how can this firefly compete with the sun and the moon, but if even Cui Gongzi, who is like a bright moon, is ordinary in the eyes of Her Royal Highness the princess, then how can I get into the eyes of the princess."

"So, I began to wonder if there would be any twists and turns in this that I didn't know about."

At this point, the killing intent in Zhao Chengbei's eyes retreated a lot, and he smiled lightly: "You are very self-aware." ”

Pei Xingzhao raised his eyebrows lightly: "I and Cui Gongzi are different from each other, how can I not know it." ”

Zhao Chengbei didn't say anything, obviously agreeing with his words.

"Half a month ago, I accidentally injured my leg, and I have been thinking about it carefully these days in bed, but I have never been able to find a place where I can beat Cui Gongzi, I only have two advantages in my body, one is good-looking, but this is not an advantage in the eyes of Her Royal Highness the princess, who is accustomed to seeing beautiful women, so there is only another one left."

Pei Xingzhao paused when he said this, raised his eyes to look at Zhao Chengbei, and said slowly: "I have money." ”

Zhao Chengbei's eyes tightened slightly, but he still didn't speak.

"So I thought of a few things in the past, so I guessed that it might not be Her Royal Highness the Princess who took a fancy to me, but the person who really took a fancy to me was you, the second prince." Pei Xingzhao continued.

Zhao Chengbei's face turned dark.

Pei Xingzhao hurriedly said: "Ah, I said the wrong thing, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, don't get me wrong, I mean His Royal Highness the Second Prince has taken a fancy to my money." ”

Zhao Chengbei's face was not much better.

He is a dignified son, and his good manhood is half a pound compared to coveting other people's money.

"I seem to have said the wrong thing again, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, you are angry, I am stupid, don't be like me." Pei Xingzhao leaned over to refill him with tea and apologized.

"I mean that I am for the people, you are the king, you take a fancy to me, no, you fancy my money, that is my blessing, I am unwilling to be an enemy of Your Highness, so I dare to make friends with Your Highness, why should I be wronged by Your Royal Highness the Princess, Your Highness, what do you think?"

Zhao Chengbei finally understood what he meant at this time.

He picked up the teacup and took a slow sip, and after a long time, he said, "Your proposal is good." ”

Pei Xingzhao's smile deepened, but he didn't open his mouth yet, but he heard Zhao Chengbei say: "But His Royal Highness doesn't believe you." ”

Pei Xingzhao's smile suddenly froze.

Zhao Chengbei looked at him meaningfully: "This is also the reason why the big families join forces to use marriage as a bond." ”

"Pei Xingzhao, is it true that in your eyes, the princess is not as good as a Shen Yunshang?"

Pei Xingzhao slowly straightened up with a slightly gloomy expression: "The princess is golden and noble, but for Pei Xingzhao, there is only room for one Shen Yunshang in his eyes." ”

Zhao Chengbei sneered: "So, for her sake, you would rather offend His Highness." ”

Pei Xingzhao was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Your Highness, do you have to make such a choice?" ”

Zhao Chengbei narrowed his eyes: "Yes, how are you doing?" ”

"Money is something outside the body, it can be discussed, but there is only one Shen Yunshang, if His Royal Highness has to break me up and her at the expense..." ”

If Pei Xingzhao was still Pei Xingzhao, who was eighteen years old at the time, he would naturally not be so presumptuous in front of the nobles of Tianhuang.

But now Pei Xingzhao has been a horse master for three years.

Although the horse was not allowed to enter the court, because the princess gave him power, he held all the power of Zhao Chenghuan in his hands.

Since entering Yejing, Pei Xingzhao has become a silent and decisive prodigal son from a prodigal son, and in those three years, he has become a sharp blade in the hands of Zhao Chengbei in order to fight for the Pei family and protect Shen Yunshang.

Cui Jiuheng couldn't do it, or in other words, Zhao Chengbei didn't let Cui Jiuheng get his hands dirty work to do, so even if he didn't have an official body, for a long time, many court officials in Yejing were a little afraid of him.

They scolded Pei Xingzhao behind their backs for being a dog of Zhao Chengbei, but on the bright side, they would never dare to be disrespectful to Pei Xingma, because there were really not many clean officials, and no one dared to gamble, and the next day's court would suddenly put their incriminating evidence on the table.

Now even if he is eighteen years old, he will try to be the eighteen-year-old Pei Xingzhao, but because of the memories of those three years, the cold-blooded yin owl that seems to have been engraved in his bones will pop up from time to time.

Just like now, his aura is full of energy, and even Zhao Chengbei will have a moment of fear.

After all, Zhao Chengbei is the current Zhao Chengbei, and he is Pei Xingzhao three years later.

Zhao Chengbei also seemed to realize his uncontrollable retreat at that moment, his face became more and more ugly, and the hand holding the teacup slowly clenched and slowly let go.

"It's better to be broken than broken, you have to have the ability to compete with His Royal Highness, just rely on you, and you are also worthy of jade."

Pei Xingzhao said lightly: "I know that the Pei family is like ants in His Highness's heart, but I also have to fight with His Highness as hard as I can, even if I can't shake His Highness, everyone will know about it, after all..."

"Words are terrible."

"Bang!"

Zhao Chengbei slammed the teacup to the ground and scolded angrily: "You are threatening Your Highness." ”
