She is different from the empress in the history books

Chapter 34
"Aluo, what are you..."

Xu Zhao boasted to his cousin how serious Yang Luo was at his work all the way, and then the siblings saw him doing handwork leisurely.

"Brother Zhao, uh... so Yang Luo works so hard?"

"Ah Fei, is that why you study so hard?"

Pei Peng, who was swaying on the road in the carriage, also questioned Cheng Fei from the bottom of his soul.

Cheng Fei covered his face with his hands and replied in shame:

"Stop talking, stop talking. I know my efforts are ineffective and I am just a bastard among the big guys, but I just don't have the talent. Cousin, you have to understand me."

Pei Peng was so angry that she laughed. She couldn't help but stretched out her index finger and touched Cheng Fei's forehead, laughing and cursing:

"What does it mean to have no talent? Memorize a few articles and practice writing neatly. What kind of talent is needed for this?
I asked Mr. Wu to teach you, so you learned like this?No wonder Mr. Wu hasn't asked me for drinks recently, he must be afraid that I will ask about your studies. "

Cheng Fei sighed. She was indeed...too busy to do her homework these days. The main reason is that she is no longer a student, and no one will test her homework with exams, so she is lazy.

As a result, on the way back to Beijing, Pei Peng was bored and wanted to see Cheng Fei's study progress...

Cheng Fei could only actively admit her mistakes and make up for her shortcomings, and Pei Peng also took more time to pay attention to her homework.

On this day, the two sisters were taking a test and reciting a book together, when they heard a faint rush and messy sound of horseshoes.

At this time, I have not left the territory of Taizhou.

Pei Peng was startled, Cheng Fei also stopped, and even Xu Qing who had closed his eyes in the other carriage opened his eyes.

Guards were soon sent to inquire about the information, and the remaining men and horses gathered around the carriage cautiously. The guards put one hand on the scabbard tied to their waist, ready to respond to possible attacks at any time.

Pei Peng's brain couldn't help thinking, did she offend someone so much that it was hard for her to go out of Taizhou?
But if there was such great hatred, shouldn't he have found a way to assassinate her long ago?

Cheng Fei was even more panicked. Is this possible?Does this happen in history?
She clearly remembered that it had been several years since the assassination incident that was recorded in the history books and the sacrifice that completely changed Pei Peng's attitude towards the family...

But soon, several guards who went to inquire about the news came back, followed by...

Wang Yin, and his entourage.

Pei Peng lifted the car curtain and took a look, helpless. What the fuss was about. The old man, who was walking slowly, rode a horse to chase her so fast. He didn't know it, but he thought something big had happened in Taizhou.

Wang Yin was getting older and had ridden all the way. When he arrived in front of Pei Peng, he was breathing rapidly. Pei Peng was afraid that he would be out of breath, so he quickly asked someone to bring him water.

Cheng Fei stopped him:

"Cousin, don't let him drink water now. Drinking water after strenuous exercise will hurt his lungs."

So Pei Peng, Xu Qing, and Cheng Fei got off the carriage, stood in a row silently, watched Wang Yin panting for a few minutes, and then heard him say:
"Your Highness... I, I went out to visit friends. I just heard that you are going back to Beijing. No, hurry over here."

Pei Peng is helpless, what kind of weird old man is this, doesn't he know that there is a way of communication called writing letters?

"Uncle Shi, you and my father are also old friends, so you don't need to call me His Highness, just call me Apeng. If you have anything to say, just talk about it. After you finish speaking, go back and rest, and we will continue On our way."

Wang Yin calmed down for a few more breaths, and then stabilized. He smoothed his hair and long beard with his hands, and then said:
"A Peng, let me tell you the truth. I just recently found out that the unfilial son in the family has ambitions to be the uncle of the country. Before I say anything, he wants to marry my eldest granddaughter to the royal family. That's What a good place!"

"Uncle Shi, my surname is also Pei..."

"That's different. Is it easy to be a queen? What's more, our royal family can't afford to fight for the title of uncle."

Pei Peng and Wang Yin's son are not very familiar, I just remember that he is a relatively mediocre man——

With such a family background and an unremarkable father, perhaps mediocrity is a kind of happiness. No one dares to bully him anyway, and he doesn't need to make more progress and just branch out.

He also lived up to his family's expectations. He had six or seven legitimate children and even more children from his concubine.

As for the eldest daughter...

Pei Peng thought for a while and asked tentatively:

"Are you talking about Gu Changjun's daughter left behind by sister Gu? I remember, named 'Shu'?"

"Isn't that right? The child's mother left early, and... you also know how her mother left. Some people pay attention to this, and it is inevitable that they will be picked on in marriage, not to mention competing for the last position, no You know how many times you need to be mouthed.”

Pei Peng knew what Wang Yin meant, but felt that it was not something he could intervene in, so he refused:

"The matter of the queen's position is not originally something that I, a princess who marries and lives outside, can decide. As for the Wang family, you are my grandfather, so you can't stop it, not to mention that I am an outsider."

Wang Yin sighed, and he understood that the purpose of coming was not to force Pei Peng to help, but to hand her a box:
"I know, I know, even I can't resist what the Wang family decides. I just want you to hand this to her for me. There is a letter in it, some land deeds from the suburbs of Beijing, and some of her Something that might come in handy."

Pei Peng took it hesitantly, it was not heavy, and it was tightly sealed.

"Why don't you give it to her through the Wang family?"

Wang Yin just shook his head and said to Pei Peng:
"Your Highness. It's getting late. You should go to the next station as soon as possible. When you come back, I'll treat you to a drink."

Xu Qing looked at Wang Yin's look and somehow remembered how he felt when his family told him that he wanted to be the prince's consort.

Another sacrifice for the family.

Cheng Fei also felt a little sad. For the first time, she felt that she was lucky to be in this ordinary family that didn't even need marriage.

Pei Peng handed the box to the maid and asked her to put it on the carriage. He avoided Wang Yinxing's half-ceremony and promised:
"Uncle Shi, don't worry, I will give her the things, within my ability,"

Pei Peng paused, but still said:

"Within my ability, I will give her some tips on how to live in the harem. But not too much. After all, she is competing for the queen or concubines, and I am a princess. My experience may not be applicable to some things. "

Wang Yin took a deep look at Pei Peng and decided to accept this sentiment:

"Okay, thank you very much."

Wang Yin was supported and turned onto the horse's back, and his return speed was much slower.

Pei Peng also greeted the team to prepare to move on.

Seeing that Xu Qing was a little disappointed, she asked one more question:
"how?"

"I just feel sorry for her."
