Song Xuqing's eyes swept over the sugar cake in her hand, and fell on Gu Qinning's face, her pretty and tender face dotted the dark place, and the things around her were eclipsed because of this.

Shanzhou, Zhuzhou.

One north and one south, separated by two cities of 108,000 miles.

"Is it pretty?"

A cold, transparent voice fell into the right ear.

Song Suqing glanced at it.

The candle flame sprinkled through the lampshade, and the warm yellow light could not stop his deep and dark eyes, and the slight breath was very aggressive, like a foraging cheetah patrolling the territory, staring at the outlaw lamb unhurriedly, just waiting to be dismantled and swallowed.

He withdrew his eyes and stared at her, the dark color in his eyes gradually faded, and asked again, "Is it pretty?" ”

Song Suqing followed his line of sight, and caught a glimpse of Gu Qinning with a smile on the corner of her eyebrows, like the bright moon and breeze in the mountains, she looked at him incredulously, and said, "It's good-looking." ”

Pei Muyao's gaze stayed on her for a long time, and his voice was hoarse: "Why don't you marry him." ”

“……？” Song Suqing smiled dumbly, "I thought you were talking about Gu Qinning." ”

After a short silence, her gaze slowly retracted, and her eyes measured him up and down unscrupulously, "Why are you here, the injuries on your body are better?" ”

Hearing this, the corners of Pei Muyao's thin mouth rose slightly, "It's just a small injury, it won't affect going out." ”

Song Suqing looked at him suspiciously.

It's not that she doesn't believe Pei Muyao's words, it's just that she still has to be suspicious in this matter, she knows very well that if Fu Yanji hadn't mentioned the injuries to her, Pei Muyao would not have been able to tell her about it.

Pei Muyao saw her suspicious eyes narrowed slightly, and couldn't help but raise his hand and knock on her forehead, "You don't listen to Fu Yanji scare you, he ......"

Suddenly, the words that overflowed his mouth paused, and a pair of white and delicate palms covered his forehead, staring at him with a serious expression.

Song Xuqing stood on tiptoe slightly, put her left knuckles against his forehead, touched her forehead with her right hand, and confirmed the temperature between his foreheads, and the cool breath passed into her heart through her fingertips.

She let go of her hand, and her pursed lips gradually opened: "You really didn't lie to me." ”

Pei Muyao's eyes were deep, his tense throat rolled, and his voice was indescribably hoarse: "When I was young, I was naughty, and I often made my father angry, and it was common for me to use sticks. ”

Song Suqing raised his eyebrows, but he really couldn't imagine what the naughty Pei Muyao looked like.

"Girl, don't bother talking to your husband, don't you want your sugar cakes?"

The stall owner asked teasingly.

The next moment, the people who were waiting for the sugar cakes to come out of the pot laughed one after another, full of good-natured laughter.

Song Xuqing's lips opened slightly, her eyes circled everyone, her earlobes were quietly dyed crimson, she hurriedly took the sugar cake handed by the stall owner, pulled Pei Muyao, and walked away regardless of it, falling in the eyes of others quite shy.

Pei Muyao's thin lips curled slightly, and he arched his hand to the stall owner.

Song Suqing strode back with the sugar cake, and when his chin was slightly raised, he saw the teasing and ambiguous looks of his friends.

Yunguang's eyes swept over the sugar cake in her hand, and her eyes widened and said, "This sugar cake is indeed sweet." ”

"Not really." Tao Huaixi covered his mouth and smiled, "The brown syrup is about to overflow the skin, and it is naturally sweet." ”

Fu Wan's lips moved, and the next moment there was a dense sugar cake on the side of her mouth, and she took a bite of the sugar cake indignantly, why didn't she make a joke!

Song Suqing took out the sugar cakes and stuffed them into their mouths one by one, "Eat more and talk less." ”

She only found out at this moment that it would be difficult after the marriage decree came down, and the cooperative relationship between her and Pei Muyao naturally could not be known to outsiders, but her usual every move fell in the eyes of others, I am afraid that there will be a different meaning, and you will have to pay attention to it in the future.

"You can't stop my mouth if you eat, if you ......" Yunguang caught a glimpse of Pei Muyao coming from the corner of his eyes, silenced his voice and bowed, and whispered: "Since your future husband is here, then we can't bother you, and we'll taste this wonton in the future." ”

After the words fell, he pulled Fu Wan and Tao Huaixi and left without looking back, and Song Suqing couldn't stop them.

"Why did they run away and you stopped shopping?"

Pei Muyao stepped forward, his eyes swept over and trotted away and fell on Song Suqing.

Song Suqing couldn't say that they were making fun of themselves, and deliberately left the two to get along, and said without blinking: "I said that I was going back, and I would come out together when I found time in the future." ”

She lowered her eyes and glanced at the sugar cake in her hand, and she didn't have the heart to go to the street, and said, "It's not too early, I'll go back too." ”

Saying that, Song Su was blessed with a good body, and the moment she turned to leave, her wrist was grabbed, and she looked back in puzzlement.

"I'll send you back." Pei Muyao's eyes fell slightly, and he unhurriedly let go of his hand and clenched it into a fist, "I just came to visit Master Hou and Mrs. Hou." ”

"Huh?" Song Suqing was slightly stunned and looked at him in surprise.

Since ancient times, the noble daughter of the family married into the royal family as the main room, only the noble girl entered the palace to meet the concubines, the prince and the younger brother did not have to go to the woman's house to meet, just accompany the wife to return to Ning on the day of returning.

For example, in the previous life, don't say that he came to the Hou Mansion to see his parents, but on the day of Guining, Pei Yichen entered the palace to see the emperor when he had something to do, and Song Suqing returned home alone.

Pei Muyao took a few steps forward, and saw that she was still in place, "Don't you go?" ”

Song Suqing shook his head, collected thousands of thoughts, and left by his side.

The Xun Lingxiang on his body was moist and quiet, swinging to the tip of her nose with the wind, and she raised her head to look at him from time to time, and she felt incredible when she walked for a while.

After a long silence, she stretched out her hand to stop in front of Pei Muyao, met his slightly puzzled eyes, and said: "It's just a cooperative relationship between us, if you do so well, I'm afraid that it will not be good for you when others talk about it in the future, or you don't go today, just accompany me back for a trip on the day of Guining and make a show." ”

Hearing this, Pei Muyao was slightly stunned, and a trace of obscure color flashed in his eyes.

He stared at her quietly for a long time and asked, "Don't you want me to go?" ”

"It's not." Song Suqing shook his head, "I just don't think you need to do so much for me." ”

"I feel the need to do so." Pei Muyao pulled away her hand, grabbed her wrist through the cuffs, borrowed the power of the Tao to let her get into the carriage, and said slowly: "Marriage is a big deal, if it is not an accident, there is only this time in this life, if I treat you indifferently, in the eyes of outsiders, I will feel that my husband does not pay attention to it, and over time it will be bullied to you, which is contrary to your idea of asking me to cooperate." ”

Hearing this, an unknown light flashed in Song Suqing's soft eyes, and he stared at him stunned for a while, "Thank you......"

"Don't think of me so well, since I am a cooperative relationship with you, then I am bound to want to get something from you, mutual benefit and win-win things do not need to be thanked, and it seems to be raw, and a visit is just an ordinary thing."

"In the future, you and I will really become husband and wife, and there will be no less such things, do you have to thank me every time?"

After closing her words, Pei Muyao picked up her hair hanging between her temples and hooked it behind her ears, and her fingertips slid across her ear bones, causing ripples.

Song Suqing's heart tightened, and he was shocked by his seductive words.

But after thinking about it, he was right, and after bowing his head, he entered the public opinion.

The curtain fell, and Pei Muyao's eyes, who were standing outside, gradually became a little smiling, thinking about what she should do if she reacted so slowly in her relationship.

"I have a question for you." Song Xu lifted the carved window screen tent and poked his head out, "Do you know where Gu Qinning is from?" ”

The smile in Pei Muyao's eyes didn't have time to fade, and when he heard her ask, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and his thin lips slightly opened and spit out two words: "Shanzhou." ”

Song Suqing's eyes were pale, and a dense and boneless tremor surged out of nowhere, spreading to her heart.

She pursed her lips, "Not Zhuzhou?" ”

Pei Muyao said in a very faint voice, "No." ”

Song Suqing looked at him stunned, and uneasily let go of the curtain and sat back, with a severe chill on his back.

Because she is from Zhuzhou, it was Pei Yichen who took a fancy to Gu Changfeng, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, when he was choosing someone in the court, and then she was Gu Qinning, but now she told herself that she was from Shanzhou, and even Pei Muyao knew about it?

What was there about it that she didn't know?

The crisp sound of the carriage bell woke up Song Xuqing's heavy thoughts, and after answering the sound, he leaned out, and when his eyelids were raised, he was stunned for a moment, put his hand in his palm, and got out of the carriage with his support.

At the gate of the Hou Mansion, Xu and Song Yi looked at this scene, looked at each other for a moment, remembered what their daughter had mentioned to them not long ago, and raised their eyebrows.

"Why is Gu Qinning ......?"

"Your mom and dad are watching us."

Song Suqing and Pei Muyao's voices were intertwined, and when she heard the word "father and mother", she stopped.

Seeing that her eyes were full of thoughts, Pei Muyao pursed her lips, pinched her fingertips, and said, "Her affairs are not in a hurry, if you want to know anything, I will tell you when you are free in the future." ”

"Hmm." Song Xu cleared his head, knowing that this was not a good place to talk.

Gathering her thoughts and about to walk back, the figure suddenly paused, and she glanced sideways at the intertwined fingertips, which were flushed with a little rosy.

"Let's go, don't let Master Hou and Mrs. wait for a long time." Pei Muyao said loudly, quietly let go of his hand, his chin raised slightly, and motioned for her to lead him over.

Song Suqing withdrew his hand, rubbed his fingertips under his long sleeves, and saw the smile on the corner of his parents' lips from a distance, and then looked at Pei Muyao who was walking beside him, for some reason, there was a vague sense of returning to Ning.

Before Song Yi saluted, Pei Muyao lowered his head slightly and bowed his hand to make a junior salute.

Song Yi's eyelids jumped fiercely, and he hurriedly raised his hand to resist his fist, "Lord Wang, I can't help it." ”

Pei Muyao withdrew his hand and said, "From now on, it will be a family, and Master Hou doesn't need to be polite." ”

Hearing this, Song Yi's expression was shocked again, and he gave Xu a look.

Xu received her husband's look, took her daughter's hand, gently squeezed her hand, and said with a smile: "Don't pestle here, I have ordered someone to prepare dinner, now go and drink hot tea to quench your thirst." ”

Song Suqing smiled, raised his hand and made a 'please' gesture, "Let's go." ”

In the main hall, people have prepared tea and fruits, and the temperature of the tea at the entrance is just right, and it is not hot or cold.

Song Suqing took a sip and knew that this tea should have been prepared a long time ago, and he was afraid that when they were still on the street, the family had already received the news.

Before the marriage decree came down, the Hou Mansion had rarely had contact with the princes, let alone Pei Muyao, and now Song Yi is not allowed to treat him, so he tries to pick what he can say.

Chatting and chatting, I somehow talked about the fact that Zhang Miao was not accustomed to the water and soil after returning to Beijing recently, and he needed to recuperate at home for a few days before he could go to the court, and many people in the court went to Zhang's mansion to visit the sick.

Song Suqing listened attentively, and when she heard the nervousness, she couldn't help but drink more tea, and finally listened to Zhang Miao's command of the Jinyi Guard, she hooked her mother's little finger with her fingertips, and whispered: "I'll warm up the Jade Pavilion to change clothes." ”

Xu glanced at the teacup in her hand, bowed her head clearly, and was about to let her go by herself, when she saw her husband's expression out of the corner of her eye, and said, "I'll go with you, and ask if the kitchen has prepared dinner on the way." ”

Song Suqing found an excuse to interrupt the conversation between Pei Muyao and his father, and only left after getting Song Yi's nod.

Pei Muyao took everything in his eyes, took a sip of tea unhurriedly with the teacup, and the figures of Song Suqing and Xu disappeared at the end of the cobblestone path, he put down the teacup and said, "Master Hou has something to say to me?" ”

"I can't hide it from the prince." Song Yi withdrew his gaze and said politely, and after a moment's silence, he said bluntly: "Listening to the little girl, she and the prince seem to have reached an agreement, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

Pei Muyao bowed his head: "It's true." ”

Song Yi's eyebrows frowned slightly when she heard this, and said: "The little girl is simple-minded, and the things she likes are just wandering around, and the minister doesn't want her to be rich and wealthy in the future, I just hope that she won't be involved in disputes and spend the rest of her life in peace." ”

His words fell into Pei Muyao's ears, overlapping with the previous life, the exact same words have not changed in the slightest, if you have to find some changes, it can only be that the person on the marriage certificate has become him, but Song Yi's love for his daughter has not changed.

Song Yi didn't see the turmoil in the court, Pei Yichen, the crown prince, seemed to be firm and unrushable, but in fact it was crumbling, all up to the emperor and the queen mother, if he lost his sacred heart in the future, it would be something that shocked the court.

He originally thought that this was impossible, but King Rui's words could shake the emperor's thoughts, which was enough to prove that his weight in the emperor's heart was not small, and it could even be said that he surpassed the crown prince.

It's just that why the emperor has gradually cooled up King Rui in recent years, and even used King Rui as a 'stepping stone' for the prince, Song Yi can't guess this point left and right, and only knows that there is a lot to be written in it.

Pei Muyao lit the round table and said, "Master Hou, don't worry, your thoughts coincide with mine." ”

Song Yi looked at him in astonishment, he was also a man, and he heard the meaning of his words, which seemed to be different from the mutual benefit and reciprocity in his daughter's mouth, "Lord Wang, what are you ......?"
