After abandoning the Ruthless Dao Sword Venerable, verse 99
Usu's fingertips felt his body temperature, so real and warm, it was a living heart within her reach.
She opened her lips, still unable to comprehend the emotion.
Love is a luxury emotion that belongs to human beings.
She didn't.
She doesn't even have a star of her own.
Usu pulled the corners of her mouth and showed him a gentle smile, and she said to Pei Jiuzhi, "I love you too." β
In asking Yuan, she learned to give human responses, so what His Highness did to her, she did to him.
She didn't want Her Highness to be disappointed.
Pei Jiuzhi looked at her calm, unwavering eyes, he lowered his head, and his warm lips pressed against the corners of her cold forehead.
She was lying, but he believed it.
Pei Jiuzhi said: "Okay." β
Usu blinked and said, "Really." β
"Yes, it's true, okay?" Pei Jiuzhi took her hand and patiently coaxed her.
"Okay." Usu and his footprints fell on the snow, stretching into the distance.
At night, Usu took advantage of the bright light in the room to embroider carefully.
She didn't know much about embroidery, and the fact that His Highness had chosen such an intricate pattern made it even more tricky for her.
The wound pierced by the needle tip in the white day had healed, and Usu lowered his head and seriously pointed out the eyes of the two mandarin ducks on the embroidered cloth.
She put down the embroidered cloth and nodded on the mandarin duck with narrower eyes: "Your Royal Highness." β
The eyes of the other mandarin duck were round and a little unfocused, and Usu tilted his head to look at the mandarin duck: "Usu." β
Usu was so pleased with her work that she embroidered until late at night.
Her Royal Highness returned, and she hid the embroidered cloth.
He entered, sat down beside her at a loss, and took her hand behind his back.
"Hurt?" He noticed the small cut on her finger anyway.
"Accidentally...... Scraped it. Usu had other reasons.
"Actually, it doesn't have to be a mandarin duck." He said.
"Yes, yes." Usu didn't react, and immediately replied, "Anyway...... Your Highness just likes it. β
"Be careful, then." He took her hand and leaned over to kiss her.
The snow is melting outside the window, the candles are shaking in the house, and the two people embracing each other are intimate and harmonious.
It took Usu several days to embroider the pair of mandarin ducks.
She made the embroidered cloth into a sachet and carefully placed it in the brocade box.
On the night of Laba, according to the custom, Laba porridge was made in the Sun Moon Pavilion.
Usu was originally eating with Pei Jiuzhi and Pei Yi, but that night, an unexpected guest came.
The gorgeous golden sedan chair stopped outside the Sun Moon Pavilion, and the palace people held up an umbrella for Pei Chu, and they walked in slowly.
At this time, Wusu and the others were drinking porridge, and when they looked up, they saw Pei Chu, who was already old, standing in the courtyard.
The falling snow was floating on his shoulders, and he looked at them with a smile on his face.
"Father!" Pei Jiuzhi immediately stood up, Pei Yi also ran over, and called obediently, "Grandpa Huang." β
Pei Chu nodded to them, and when he arrived in front of him, Wu Su nodded to the Yundu Emperor and said, "Your Majesty." β
Her title is a little rusty, just like her character, and Pei Chu doesn't care about it.
After all, although Usu treats people distantly, he will not say any annoying etiquette in front of him.
"Father, what's wrong?" Pei Jiuzhi brought him a bowl of laba porridge on the table, and asked in a deep voice.
Pei Chu was wearing regular clothes, and his body was no longer as majestic and lofty as usual.
When he bent down to take the porridge bowl, his back was slightly bent like an ordinary elder.
He said: "The seal of Yundu is loosening day by day, and the previous disaster is only the beginning. β
"Xianzhou sent someone over, perhaps, to help us solve the seal."
Chapter 61: Sixty-One Points
Pei Jiuzhi's fingers tapped on the table, and he asked, "When will it arrive?" β
"It's a long way from Xianzhou, and there is a divine message from above, saying that it has already left." Pei Chu said.
"Hmm." Pei Jiuzhi replied with his eyes.
Pei Chu didn't talk about it again, he took out the sugar packet he was carrying in his arms and put it in front of Pei Yi.
"This is what your imperial grandfather bought on the road, come, taste it." Pei Chu said.
This sugar is ginger candy, which has a somewhat spicy taste and warms up the body in winter.
Pei Yi took a small bite, not quite used to the taste.
"It was snowing heavily, and when I went out of the palace, I saw an old man selling this candy on the street with cotton sleeves, so I bought it." Pei Chu's voice was a little helpless, "There are still many things I have to do." β
With his ability, he can ensure that the vast majority of people in Yundu can live a life of food and clothing, but he cannot guarantee that everyone's life will be rich.
There is a limit to what a person can do.
Pei Yi continued to lick the candy in small sips, and Pei Chu drank the porridge, occasionally talking to Pei Jiuzhi and them about common things.
They look like an ordinary family.
"When I came in, I saw a lot of fireworks in the room, is Yi'er going to set them off?" Pei Chu asked.
Usu pursed her lips as she drank the porridge, These fireworks are what she wants to buy.
Isn't that a bit naΓ―ve?
Pei Yi immediately raised his head, his eyes widened, and he seemed to be a little puzzled.
Although he liked the fireworks, he didn't ask for them.
"It's me." Pei Jiuzhi said.
Pei Chu glanced at Usu and laughed, he knew who wanted to set off the fireworks.
"On Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year, I will preside over affairs in the palace, sacrifices, blessings, and New Year greetings, and there are many things."
Pei Chu said: "Jiuzhi, for your birthday, I can only give a gift in advance." β
He ordered someone to put a pair of brocade boxes on the table, and said with a smile: "I can't open it until my birthday." β
"Okay." Pei Jiuzhi nodded.
Pei Yi drank the porridge and said, "Uncle Nine Emperors, I'm also ready!" β
Pei Jiuzhi patted his head.
Usu put down the empty porridge bowl and stammered, "I'...... I ...... too."
Pei Jiuzhi took her hand and didn't let go.
"Not long after Hua Jun returned to Yundu, she left Yundu and continued to practice outside, she really wanted to go to Xianzhou to practice, but this mortal person, there is no one in ten thousand who has immortal fate."
"The fourth child still doesn't want to marry, and I haven't bothered to say it all these years, in short, our Pei family is like this."
"Jiuzhi, I know that you have a grudge against Huashang, but ...... In the future, you still have to communicate with her more. β
Pei Chu chattered and said a lot of things, Pei Jiuzhi listened patiently, and his eyes fell one by one.
"Okay, I'm going back to the palace too." Pei Chu got up and smiled kindly at Pei Jiuzhi.
He walked out with his hands behind his back, his back slightly bent.
Usu looked at Pei Chu's back and narrowed her eyes, she was extremely sensitive to the soul.
Pei Chu's soul faintly showed signs of dying.
His consciousness was not fragile, and his life was not yet at the end of his life, but for some reason, Usu always felt that he was going to lose his life soon.
It seems to be ...... His own soul had a strong desire to die.
It's weird.
Wu Su turned his head and glanced at Pei Jiuzhi.
She whispered in Pei Jiuzhi's ear at a volume that Pei Yi couldn't hear: "The emperor's state seems to be a little wrong. β
Pei Jiuzhi clenched her hand, and he replied in a cold, calm tone, "Usu, I know. β
Pei Yi walked over with the sugar packet in his hand, and he handed two ginger candies to them.
"Nine Emperor Uncles and Imperial Aunts, try it." He said.
Usu took the ginger candy and was so stimulated by the warm and spicy smell that tears flowed out.
Pei Yi hurriedly handed the handkerchief to Wu Su, and he looked at Pei Jiuzhi very weakly.
But when he saw Pei Jiuzhi turn his head sideways, the corners of his eyes seemed to be spicy with tears.
"Alright, let's go back and rest." Pei Jiuzhi's voice became a little hoarse, and he asked Pei Yi to go down to rest first.
Usu rubbed his eyes vigorously with a handkerchief and muttered, "This candy is really spicy." β
"Father likes such spicy things, and he doesn't think there's anything in his own right." Pei Jiuzhi knew Pei Chu very well.
He led Usu and walked upstairs, his mood was depressed, but Usu clearly sensed the change in his mood.
"Your Highness, aren't you happy?" Usu asked softly.
"It shouldn't be now." He said.
