Atypical Redemption [Fast Wear] verse 89
How should he tell his little niece that Lin Zhi is not gaining weight, and there are her younger brothers and sisters who do not exist?
Of course, Pei Duo would not say that this kind of thing would sound too terrifying to ordinary people.
Pei Duo did not stay here for a long time, and he would not come on Chinese New Year's Eve, so he gave Pei Yunyu a New Year gift in advance, and asked Pei Yunyu to send the things to be sent to the Jade Xuan Palace.
Pei Yunyu watched the fifth uncle walk into the cold wind, his back was not lonely, after all, the fifth uncle touched the fox in his arms while walking, which was a little leisurely.
After retracting his gaze, Pei Yunyu looked at the New Year's gift given by the fifth uncle, his expression was a little shocked, and Jin'er next to him couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
It's really a piece of gold and silver, and it's extremely practical.
In addition to the gold leaf golden melon seeds, some of them are the appearance of little foxes, which shows Pei Duo's liking for foxes.
Because of the fox raised by Pei Duo, many people in the capital have raised foxes, but there is no purple one.
Pei Yunyi thought to himself, he had to dismantle his clothes and make a new one for the little fox.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, there was no snow in the capital.
However, the snow that had fallen in the previous two days had not melted, and the snow-white color remained on the cornices.
The plum blossoms in the plum garden are blooming just right, and they are fragrant.
Pei Duo also sent someone to break two branches and put them in the bottle to enjoy.
According to tradition, on Chinese New Year's Eve after worshipping the ancestors, the emperor would have a small banquet with the imperial relatives and close courtiers.
This year, it did the same, but not many people really felt honored during the banquet.
The emperor sat on the main seat, with Pei Duo on the left hand, the sixth prince on the right, followed by the seventh prince, and next to Pei Duo was Huo Xiang.
The people at this table, on the surface, look at one-third of the imperial party, one-third of the Pei party, and one-third of the neutral party, which is balanced, but Pei Duo knows in his heart that most of them are his people, and the emperor's side is also divided into four forces.
There was no interesting banquet, Pei Duo was a little absent-minded, thinking about the beauties in the palace.
Lin Weaving's belly is really bigger, although it is not exaggerated, but it is also bigger than the bulging appearance that he is fed by him on weekdays, but he has probed it with spiritual power, and there is indeed nothing in it, only the demonic power condensed together.
Lin Zhi was also a little more mellow, looking at a kind of smooth beauty, in the previous innocent seduction, there was some indescribable charm, which made him look even more inexplicable.
Pei Duo was distracted thinking about Lin Weaving while drinking with the people at the table.
Speaking of which, his stubborn illness seems to have flare-ups less frequently, and even the degree is milder than before, it has reached the level of about two years ago, Pei Duo can't tell the reason, but he thinks it's a good thing.
At least this can show that he can live longer, probably a happy event?
The banquet did not go on very late, after all, no one really had the heart to enjoy the so-called pleasure of the monarch and the minister.
Pei Duo drank some wine, and as soon as the cool breeze blew outside the house, the slight drunkenness dissipated, and he walked towards the Jade Xuan Hall in a big coat.
At this time, the snow fell, fluttering like catkins.
When he arrived outside the Jade Xuan Palace, the lamp hanging under the eaves flickered in the cold wind, and the young man stood there with an umbrella holding the fox ice lantern he had given, and when he saw him, his eyes were crooked.
Chapter 82: The Fox Demon Pet of the Eunuch
Pei Duo hadn't felt the feeling of someone waiting for him to come back on this day for many years, and even because of hopelessness, he wouldn't even have such a dream.
Now that it's close at hand, I'm a little stunned.
The forest weaving not far away seems to be a dream surrounded by a warm halo, like a flower in the mirror.
The eunuch who was accompanying him didn't dare to ask more questions when he saw Pei Duo stop, and remained silent.
"My lord, if you don't go in, the snow will fall heavily."
Lin Zhi raised his hand to hold the umbrella for Pei Duo, and the ice lamp in his hand swayed with his movements.
Pei Duo subconsciously wanted to take the umbrella in Lin Zhi's hand, but the corner of his eye swept to the people accompanying him.
"You stand down first."
He knew that these people couldn't see Lin Weaving, and Lin Weaving's body was covered with a faint demonic aura, and he had already cast a spell.
Seeing Pei Duo's clear eyes, the accompanying henchman eunuch nodded and withdrew with the others.
Today's New Year is special, Pei Duo has long asked the palace people of the Jade Xuan Hall not to have to be on duty at night, but now the palace is empty, only them.
Pei Duo took the umbrella from Lin Zhi's hand, held his hand and walked towards the hall, collected the umbrella under the eaves of the porch, and put it aside.
Before he came back, he had already let people inform the palace people who had not yet left, so the food on the table was the food that was served after he left the small banquet, and it was all the dishes he had told Lin Weaving.
In addition to the cold dishes, the hot dishes were all simmered on the stove before, and the dishes that were fried quickly were only put into the pot at that time, and the points that pinched him back were still steaming.
The door inside the house is closed, and the charcoal basin is placed outside.
Lin Zhi also placed the ice lamp outside the door, and did not extinguish the candle inside, leaving it to shine in the night.
Pei Duo didn't eat much during the banquet, and he also had a great appetite when he saw Lin Zhi eating, and he ate a lot.
What Pei Duo didn't expect was that Lin Zhi didn't know where he learned the human style, and he congratulated him with fruit wine.
"I wish you peace and security in the coming year."
After a while, Lin Zhi only said this sentence, and muttered in a low voice: "I clearly memorized a lot, why can't I remember it." ”
Pei Duo listened to him, did not expose him, smiled and drank this glass of wine with him, and wished him a good year ahead.
This is the most pleasant festival that Pei Duo has had over the years, and after he was full of wine and food, he hugged Lin Zhi back to the dormitory.
Since his belly bulged, the little fox has become more and more clingy, and it seems that he will feel much more at ease with him, and Pei Duo doesn't feel tired of seeing it, and he likes it very much.
"When will it go down?"
There was some complaint in the little fox's voice, Pei Duo didn't hide it from him for too long, lest the little fox really think that he wanted to be a mother but failed.
Fortunately, the little fox was also suspicious of the male fox's pregnancy, but he was not very sad, and he had a lot of joy, and ate a lot of food that day to celebrate.
Pei Duo was happy to see that he was not sad, but seeing that he was not sad at all, he couldn't help but grab people like cubs, naturally, he restrained some strength to avoid making the little fox's stomach hurt like a few days ago.
Lin Zhi sat down cautiously with his stomach in his hands, although his stomach was not big, but he couldn't be as casual as usual, which made him a little annoyed, and many movements were also restricted.
But apparently, Pei Duo didn't empathize with him and seemed to be more excited.
Of course Lin Zhi knew why he was like this, he didn't mean to be like this, he still didn't do anything, but Pei Duo was like this.
Outside, snow fell on the branches.
The plum blossoms folded from the plum garden are still blooming just right in the bottle, a little proud.
Pei Duo pinned him to Lin Zhi's ear, and the purple-haired and snow-skinned beauty stood out more and more under the red plum.
There were no candles burning in the hall, only a little moonlight.
Lin Weaving propped his hands on the table, his bulging pregnant belly swayed slightly, Pei Duo looked at it, his eyes became darker and darker, he kissed Lin Weaving's back, and his heart was filled with warmth.
I only hope that at this time, it will last a long time.
The first day of the new year does not have to be early, according to the practice of this dynasty, it is closed for half a month.
Pei Duo didn't worry about those things, whether it was the affairs of the palace or the affairs of the Demon Division.
He lay on the bed with his little fox, doing nothing, watching him sleep soundly, and then waiting for him to wake up.
If it were in the past, Pei Duo would not believe that he could do such a boring thing.
He had always known that money was hard to buy, and that he had not had enough time, so he wished that he could have twenty-four hours a day so that he could do more.
Now this seems to him to be a waste of time, and it is also fun in his heart.
In winter, because of the habit of Lin Weaving, it is easy to get sleepy, and because of physical reasons, there is not much time to be awake.
After waking up and eating with Pei Duo, Lin Zhi fell asleep again.
He also spontaneously refined his demonic power in his dreams, and Pei Duo diagnosed him every day to avoid accidents.
The little fox can continue to sleep, but Pei Duo can afford it.
Let people use the prepared list to give gifts to each family, and some things are privately befriended courtiers or secret chess, and he has to put a lot of effort into it.
He also has to look at the affairs of the rewards and punishments on the side of the Demon Division, as well as the file updates of some monsters, and the time limit of rewards and punishments is changed, because some demons just have bad intentions before they make trouble, or they are caught by the Demon Town Division after just making a small mistake, plus some monsters will occasionally take the initiative to provide clues to make meritorious contributions, and Pei Duo will also give corresponding rewards.
Pei Duo specially asked the monsters close to Wucheng to pay attention to Wucheng's movements, and got a few clues.
In addition to Lin Zhi, Wu Yan is really looking for other demon foxes, but he has not found anything yet.
When you get busy, time flies.
Half a moon passed, everything returned to normal, and the air was no longer as lazy as a holiday.
Listening to the palace people, the queen did not come to the moon on time this month, and it is very likely that there is.
The emperor should also know this news, he looked good when he was in the last dynasty, and when he looked at Pei Duo, he returned to normal.
Pei Duo made people pay attention and didn't plan too much.
Pei Yunyu didn't listen to the letter and was stable, but Concubine Shu couldn't sit still, but after communicating with Pei Duo, she stabilized a lot.
At the end of January, just after the beginning of spring, two major events occurred in Beijing.
One is that Huo Xiang's protégé of a certain minister was involved in the sale of officials, which also mentioned Huo Xiang, but it was not clear, Pei Duo proposed a thorough investigation, and the person in charge of this time was coincidental or unlucky, and he was the one who had a gap with that minister.
The second thing is not a matter of court, but it is just as important.
The elder brother of the sixth princess made an assassination in Fengzhou, and Shi Ziming went to the funeral in front of him, and he wanted to find out what happened, but before he arrived in Fengzhou, he met a horse thief halfway and died tragically on the spot.
This incident was a huge blow to the sixth prince, standing in the middle of the court, he looked a lot older, and his eyes were staring at Pei Duo like a wolf.
This matter is not Pei Duo's hand, he received this gaze, smiled and responded, but in his heart he thought that Yue Zhuo could not stay for a long time.
For the position of a prince to be so ruthless, he thought that he would cripple the prince at most, but he didn't expect to be so vicious, as far as he knew, Yue Zhuo didn't seem to be bullied much, but he was just a concubine, this person was too ambitious, and it was inevitable that he would not do anything else.
After returning to the palace, Pei Duo talked to Lin Zhi about it.
Lin Zhi wrinkled his nose and said, "It's so dangerous, you have to protect yourself more, or I will have to marry someone else with your cub." ”
This is naturally a joke, so Pei Duo didn't get angry, but a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What kind of book are you reading again?" ”
Lin Zhi replied honestly: "Innocent Widow". ”
