Yu Wan Chun Nong

Chapter 12 Overnight
When Pei Shangyu walked to the entrance of the main hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace, the court lady bent down and opened the bead curtain. Lan Xueyi sat on it, smiling all over her face. She was only in her thirties, and her appearance was well maintained. She looked like she was only in her twenties. She went early, and she failed to give birth to a son and a half daughter. After many years in this palace, she is still a little noble.

Of course Xiao Heting was not her own, but she raised her. Fortunately, this son has been by her side since he was a child, and the relationship is quite close.

To say that the position of Empress Dowager has nothing to do with her. After all, the late emperor had many sons, and there was no shortage of those with outstanding abilities. captivity.

There are also some who were relegated to common people and were not allowed to enter the imperial city for life. Xiao Heting was left as a prince of the right age to stay in the palace. There must be no one to sit down.

So with a big wave of his hand, Xiao Heting was established as the new emperor, and many assistant ministers were appointed. Those ministers came from famous families. Although they were talented, they were extremely arrogant. They were orphans and widowed like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

It was at this time that Pei Shangyu stepped forward to advise them. He was capable and ambitious, so Lan Xueyi first wanted to cultivate her own power to compete with those old ministers. As a result, the speed at which this pawn grew was No one expected, things are getting out of control.

He sat on the pinnacle of power in the Southern Dynasty and became the Prime Minister of the Southern Dynasty. Now Lan Xueyi was on the verge of riding a tiger. If she wanted to rely on those old ministers, it would be a humiliation for them, and she could only be tightly tied to Pei Shangyu.

"I see the empress dowager."

Pei Shangyu bowed to Lan Xueyi, and then sat aside. The man was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off just sitting there drinking tea. Finally, she went down and poured tea for Pei Shangyu herself.

"Aijia heard that Prime Minister Pei brought back a beauty when he went to Jiangdu this time?"

The tone was like a dignified lady accusing her husband of bringing back concubines, Pei Shangyu looked up at her: "Your Majesty, are you talking about the minister's family affairs?"

He glanced at him, and Lan Xueyi lowered her eyes and sat opposite him and smiled: "Pei Xiang misunderstood the meaning of Aijia. If Peixiang's wife, as usual, Aijia would naturally want to see her."

"The queen mother should take care of her own affairs first. If you don't like the newly sent noodles, I will ask someone to look for it. If there is nothing wrong, I will go first."

Pei Shangyu's attitude was very cold, Lan Xueyi was heartbroken for a while, this person will always be like this, no matter when, he always looks like this, as if there has never been anyone or anything in this world that he can care about.

Seeing him get up and leave the Compassion Ning Palace, Lan Xueyi threw the teacup on the ground: "You clearly know what I mean."

After returning from the Palace of Compassion and Peace, Pei Shangyu went to the Palace of Sizheng to check Xiao Heting's homework to see how his government affairs were handled during this period, and did not come out of the palace until Xushi.

"My lord, are you going back home?"

Hearing the coachman's question, Pei Shangyu let go of the hand rubbing his head: "Go to Lihua Lane."

The house he bought for Cheng Yiwan was in Lihua Lane. The carriage drove all the way to the house. The guard at the gate saw Pei Shangyu and hurriedly saluted. The Qingxi Pavilion where Cheng Yi stayed late was still brightly lit.

Piaoxu at the door was leaning on the pillar drowsy, and when she heard footsteps, she woke up suddenly, and saw Pei Shangyu, and was stopped by Pei Shangyu when she was about to salute.

"Where's Madame?"

Pei Shangyu's voice was very low, so Piaoxu didn't dare to speak loudly: "Madam made dinner for your lord, but seeing that your lord hasn't come back, the meal has been heated up several times, now Madam should be waiting for you in the house Woolen cloth."

"Madam made it by herself?"

Hearing Pei Shangyu's question, Piaoxu nodded: "That's right, madam made it by herself, and her hand seems to be hurt, but madam doesn't let slaves see it."

"In the future, don't let Madam get involved in such matters, let's go down."

His eyebrows frowned at first, and then relaxed. When he opened the door and walked in, it was indeed as Piaoxu said, there were meals on the table, but Cheng Yiwan had already fallen asleep on the small couch beside him up.

The girl was still holding an embroidery shed in her hand, Pei Shangyu stepped forward to look at her sleeping face, her eyes were dim, he always thought he could see through her, but now he couldn't understand her even more.

He should be resentful, angry, but not satisfied, but why did he feel fear in his heart at the moment he completely possessed her, afraid that one day she would know the truth, and even more afraid that one day she would point at him and say , why did you become like this.

Pei Shangyu was full of thoughts, and suddenly heard a cat-like murmur, and looked down.

"My lord is back?"

Cheng Yiwan felt that the light in front of her was covered, and when she opened her eyes dimly, she saw Pei Shangyu standing in front of her, looking at her with tangled eyes.

"Waiting for a long time?"

Hearing Pei Shangyu's question, Cheng Yiwan got up and smiled, "It hasn't been long, my concubine asked Piaoxu to reheat the food."

But before Cheng Yiwan could make a sound, he walked over and sat down first. The dishes in front of him were still steaming, and they should have been heated once before he came back.

"grown ups?"

Cheng Yiwan sat aside and called him, why did he eat the food before it was hot?

"It's okay, let's serve a bowl of soup for the truth."

He ate happily, and Cheng Yiwan didn't say anything more, and reached out to help him serve the soup. After the meal was finished, he called Piaoxu to come in to tidy up and change his clothes. The girl wrapped her arms around his waist, untied the girdle, Then he grabbed his hand.

"I heard from Piaoxu that your hand was injured?"

Cheng Yiwan twitched her hand, as if she didn't want him to see it. Unexpectedly, Pei Shangyu pulled her hand forward. Her hand was very beautiful, with slender fingers, as white as jade, but a few red and swollen The blisters on it look very ugly.

"There are servants in the family who are for you to send, so you don't have to do everything by yourself."

"Isn't the concubine thinking about what she can do for the adults?"

She lowered her head, a little embarrassed, and was picked up by Pei Shangyu: "I really want to do something for the truth, how about giving birth to a son and a half for the truth?"

Pei Shangyu's words were full of ridicule, but Cheng Yiwan held his hand tightly, and then he continued: "There are a lot of things going on in the court these days, the truth may not come, if you want to go out, let Cui Guo go with you go."

"After a while, let the imperial doctor come to recuperate your body and eat more. It's not that I can't afford you."

Cheng Yiwan smiled and nodded in response: "I know."

Both of them tacitly agreed, and didn't mention the child again. After a while, Piaoxu outside the door said that the water was ready, and Pei Shangyu put her on the bed, and went behind the screen to take a bath.
