Grandpa, she can't be a woman

Chapter 723 So She Likes Him Too

When thinking of this possibility, his heart, which had never been too turbulent before, suddenly felt an indescribable strange emotion.

sour, astringent,
Thinking about it carefully, in fact, a long time ago, when she mistakenly thought that the person Pei Yi liked was Dongyun, she seemed to have had a similar emotion for a moment.

It's just that there were too many things in her mind at that time, too complicated,
This fleeting unknown emotion left her with no time to care or think deeply.

But looking at it now, maybe this is what Pei Jietao called "jealous"?

It turned out that she also secretly had a crush on Pei Yi when she didn't even know it?
He raised his eyes and glanced in the direction of Pei Yi, only to find that the other party was also looking at her intently.

Her eyes paused slightly, and the corners of her lips unconsciously raised a little bit.

"?"

Pei Yi silently conveyed his doubts with his eyes,
However, Yun Xiao smiled and looked away, not intending to answer him.

……

*
The next morning, because the process of King Beili's succession ceremony was very cumbersome, and Yun Xiao, as the most important observer of the ceremony, had to be present for the whole process,

So she had no choice but to get into the carriage sent by Hu Yansong to pick her up before dawn.

"The enthronement ceremony is really not something to please people."

After a long yawn, Yun Xiao reluctantly opened her teary eyes and greeted Pei Yi who was riding with her:
"Did you have breakfast?"

"I brought you two buns, eat them quickly."

Knowing that she usually wakes up too early in the morning, she will have a bad appetite,
Pei Yi specially brought her two rather refreshing vegetarian stuffed buns:

"In today's succession ceremony, apart from offering sacrifices to ancestors and gods, Huyansong and the others have added an additional step of offering sacrifices to heaven with Huyanye.

There is a long period of time when you can’t eat anything. If you don’t fill your stomach first, you will definitely be hungry by then. "

"Isn't it still a long way from where they worshiped their ancestors?"

Yun Xiao fell down on the soft couch, closed her eyes, and her voice sounded extremely sleepy:

"I'll sleep for a while, and I'll get up and eat when it's almost here."

"You didn't sleep last night?"

When they were in Shengjing, every year when Emperor Dog held a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven, they, as the prince's sons, needed to get up early and take a carriage to the altar just like today.

But even when he got up earlier than today, he had never seen Yun Xiao so sleepy.

You know, just the day before, Yun Xiao fell asleep for a whole day because she was drunk!
Logically speaking, under such circumstances, even if she really stayed up all night yesterday, she shouldn't be unable to open her eyes like this now.

Unless... not only did she not sleep last night, but she also did something very exhausting...

But there was obviously no movement in the mansion last night!

Pei Yi frowned slightly, wanting to get an answer from Yun Xiao,
However, Yun Xiao only gave a vague "um" and fell asleep.

Pei Yi: "..."

Reluctantly putting the buns back into the food box, Pei Yi lowered his eyes, looked at her unguarded sleeping face, and couldn't help but want to reach out and touch her cheek.

But he just wanted to make a move,

Seeing that Yun Xiao turned over uncomfortably because of a bump in the carriage,

The left hand dropped down unintentionally, revealing scarred fingers that seemed to have been scratched many times by a knife.
