Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 368 How Can You Eat Gems, Girl?

Xuanji, Fenggao, and Shanchang are Pei Ju's three sons.

Pei Ju's words are clear inside and out. If he fails to support the King of Chu, and the prince ascends the throne in the future to liquidate the Pei family, he, Pei Ju, will voluntarily leave the Pei family and dissociate himself from the Pei family.

It has to be said that Pei Ju's bet was indeed big enough.

Pei Ju said: "It's not fair to say that since I took over as Patriarch, I have gone through Emperor Wen and Emperor Yang. I have said the same thing to Pei Yun. Now, this is only the third time I have made such a decision.

As for what you said about their official careers, it's actually not that unacceptable.Of my three sons, only Xuanji has fair aptitude, Fenggao and Shanchang have mediocre aptitude, if they are officials, it will be a blessing to be the governor of a state in the future. "

"If the Patriarch decides, I have nothing to say." Pei Shiqing cupped his hands and said with a very solemn expression: "I would like to obey the Patriarch's order."

The next day, Li Zhiyun visited Pei's mansion in person, and was warmly received by Pei Ju, and the conversation between the two sides was very harmonious and pleasant.

During the dinner, Pei Ju mentioned many times that Li Zhiyun had been kind to Mrs. Pei, and told the King of Chu that Mrs. Pei would be willing to help if there is a request.

This made Li Zhiyun very happy, and felt that this trip was not in vain.

To be honest, before visiting Pei's mansion, because Pei Huaijie refused his recruitment, he was still a little worried that he would be fooled by Pei Ju when he came here.

Unexpectedly, Pei Ju was full of sincerity, saying inside and out that Pei's family would help him.

Pei's house is a side room.

Pei Fenggao's wife Liu Shi is dressing her daughter.

"This time the Patriarch personally made the decision. Your father has rejected the Crown Prince for you. This time, the King of Chu must not be able to refuse. If the King of Chu refuses, you can get away with it. If the King of Chu pushes the boat along, then you should follow suit. "

Speaking of this, Liu Shi sighed: "You are a noble lady, you cannot avoid this encounter. Fortunately, the king of Chu has a high status, if she is his concubine, it will not be regarded as an insult to your status."

Pei Su'er lowered her head, her two fingers intertwined.

"My daughter knows."

she said quietly.

At this moment, the maid's voice sounded outside the door.

"Ma'am, someone from the Patriarch's side, please come over."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu patted her daughter's thin shoulder.

Pei Su'er stood up, her white clothes fluttering, her long skirt trailing the floor, and three thousand blue hair fluttering.

main hall.

When Li Zhiyun was drinking, he saw Pei Ju say: "Your Highness, the old minister's granddaughter admires His grace, and is willing to dance for His Highness. I wonder if His Highness wants to watch?"

What do you mean?
Li Zhiyun was startled for a moment, but then he reacted and said with a smile: "In that case, Zhiyun is willing."

"it is good."

Pei Ju's voice fell, and a woman from outside slowly walked in.

But I saw that woman was wearing a moon-white skirt, with a bright blue lotus pattern on her body, surrounded by gold hairpins and jade hairpins on her head.

What a beautiful girl!
Li Zhiyun himself had all kinds of beauties around him, and he was no stranger to it for a long time, but the bookish aura of Pei's daughter surprised him.

It is not intellectual beauty, but a kind of beauty in bud.Like a peony about to bloom but not open, like a flower's fragrance about to disperse but not disperse.

Just a momentary surprise, Li Zhiyun retracted his eyes.Pei Ju, who had been paying attention to Li Zhiyun's demeanor, was secretly startled. This king of Chu was too calm.

In the face of power, the king of Chu was calm.

In front of beauty, he can still be calm.

Power and color are no longer important to the King of Chu, so what he wants is too terrible.

But after thinking about it, Pei Ju was faintly happy again.Only such a person is worthy of his gamble.

In a moment, Pei Su'er was already dancing in the hall.

She moves and spins like a fairy in a painting.

Li Zhiyun was extremely at ease drinking and watching the dance. He was happy that the big event was about to happen, and he could feast his eyes.

Happy too!
After a song, the applause was warm.

Pei Ju said: "Su'er, this is His Royal Highness the King of Chu who is famous all over the world. You can offer a toast to him and express your heart."

Pei Su'er nodded, holding the wine cup, walked up to Li Zhiyun, and bowed her knees.

"Your Highness."

Perhaps she was tired from dancing, Pei Su'er's pretty face was flushed, like a girl in love for the first time, nervous and scared.

Li Zhiyun stood up, took the wine and lightly touched her wine cup.

When she raised her jade neck to drink, Li Zhiyun suddenly reached out to stop her.

She looked at Li Zhiyun puzzled.

"Your Highness?"

Li Zhiyun said: "This glass of wine, you and I will drink it later, go back to the room to rest first."

Hearing this, Pei Su'er was a little embarrassed and at a loss.

Pei Ju smiled and said, "Since His Highness has spoken, it should be so. Su Er, you should go back first."

"Yes." Pei Su'er nodded slightly to Li Zhiyun, and Fuli left.

When she returned to the room, her mother Liu quickly asked, "How is King Chu?"

how is it?

Pei Su'er didn't know what to say.

Before, when she heard that she was valued by the prince, she was really afraid.Because the prince is already in his thirties, he is about to catch up with her father.

Then, her father told her that she didn't need to marry the prince, but the head of the family wanted her to marry the king of Chu.

When she came to Chang'an, she once heard from her sisters in the clan that the current King of Chu, a famous general on the battlefield, once tried his best to retreat from the Turks.

Such a person must be tall and strong, even barbaric.

She was a little sad, she came from a scholarly family, and she hoped that her future husband would be a gentleman.

But she has no choice, she may marry a famous clan general, or a concubine.

But when she saw him today, she found that King Chu was not tough.

He was tall and thin, with a firm and handsome face, and he spoke in a soft voice, completely different from the Chu king she had imagined.

"Very good." She lowered her head, feeling complicated.

Although King Chu's appearance and figure were unexpected, she had never gotten along with King Chu, and she didn't know how her future husband's temper would be.

In the bottom of my heart, it is inevitable to worry.

Hearing what her daughter said, Liu thought her daughter was trying to put herself off, so she comforted her, "I have to follow the orders of the Patriarch. If you are wronged in the future, find an opportunity to talk to your mother, don't keep it in your heart."

"En." Pei Su'er sighed quietly.

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu left quietly, giving her daughter some peace and quiet.

Pei Su'er propped her chin up, listening to the cold wind howling outside the window, thinking a lot of messy things in her mind.

There is a scene where I will marry the King of Chu as a concubine in the future, and when I return to my natal family, I am ridiculed by the sisters in the clan.

There are tragic scenes of Princess Chu abusing her.

There is also a terrifying picture of the king of Chu bullying her fiercely.

She thought a lot, and the more she thought about it, the more she wanted to cry.

She knew that she could not be in charge of her marriage, but at the end of the day, why did she feel so uncomfortable.

After an unknown amount of time, the maid suddenly walked up to her and presented a box the size of a palm.

"Girl, this is given to the Patriarch before His Royal Highness King Chu left."

"He's gone?" Pei Su'er asked.

"Yes."

Pei Su'er nodded, her gaze fell on the wooden box, and she asked, "What's inside?"

The maid said: "I don't know, the owner said that the king of Chu gave it to the girl, so naturally the girl can only open it."

Hearing this, Pei Su'er took the box and opened it.

Inside lay a few transparent crystal-like things.

Also, there is a note.

She took out the note, only to see a line written on it.

'The ups and downs are only known to oneself. '

Seeing this, she reached out and took out a crystal.

"Girl, is this a gem from the Western Regions? It doesn't look like it is." said the maid.

Pei Su'er looked at the note, as if she understood something, she put the crystal into her little mouth.

At the entrance, a sweetness pours into my heart.

"So sweet."

Maid: "Girl, how can you eat gems?"

She was a little flustered, what should she do if something went wrong with her food!
Pei Su'er smiled, "It's not a gem, it's a food."

She closed the wooden box and put it away carefully.

Holding her chin with both hands, her beautiful eyes looked at the wind and snow outside the window.

The ups and downs are only known to oneself.

Are you trying to tell me that it will be like this crystal dessert in the future?

There is sweetness flowing in the heart.

Suddenly, she didn't seem so uncomfortable.
