She is different from the empress in the history books

Chapter 97 Busy
It had been raining all night, and the sun had not come out since yesterday afternoon. The water vapor in the courtyard was diffuse and foggy, making it even harder to tell morning from night.

Youdao, a figure in a green palace uniform, trotted into the largest courtyard in the mansion with small steps. As the distance drew closer, she could still be seen with her hands wrapped around her chest, as if protecting something from getting wet. .

She stepped over the threshold and took a few more steps to avoid the rain. She hid in the corridor of the inner courtyard, and ran softly all the way to the main house door. She breathed and asked:
"Is Your Highness awake?"

"Probably not yet, I didn't hear the voice calling for someone."

"It stands to reason that His Highness is already awake at this time, why don't you go in and have a look?"

"Wait a minute. Your Highness has been traveling for so long before coming back. He drank again yesterday and arranged many things. He must take a rest. Is there anything important for you?"

The woman in green palace clothes took out a letter that was well protected in her arms, gave the other party a look and then took it back.

"Hey, I don't know who pushed it in through the crack of the gate, and deliberately picked Uncle Li to push it in before opening the door.

It said that His Highness would personally open it, and the patrolling guards checked it and said there was nothing wrong with it, so they sent it over to ask His Highness what he meant.

The godmother wanted to bring it by herself, but it was a little cold last night, she didn't add a quilt, she was a little hot, and she didn't get up now, so I sent it over. "

Pei Peng's hair was scattered all over the pillow, half of his face was covered by the soft quilt, and he was in a deep sleep.

The people outside the house couldn't stand the pleas of the woman in green palace clothes, and it was indeed the time when Pei Peng usually woke up. She was also afraid that the delay in waking up today might be due to physical discomfort, so she gently opened the door and walked in. .

She didn't get too close, she only saw the thin quilt on the bed rising and falling regularly with Pei Peng's breathing, and didn't hear her untimely murmur, so she turned around and backed out again.

"Your Highness hasn't woken up yet. Anyway, the sender is secretive. I don't think His Highness would mind if you wait a little longer."

Pei Peng slept until the sun was high, and then gradually pulled out of the dark dreamland.Of course, more importantly, she felt a faint sense of hunger in her stomach.

"Ayao?"

Pei Peng habitually called her closest maid.

The people outside the house heard the sound, opened the door and went in. They saluted before answering:

"Your Highness, the godmother caught the cold yesterday, so she didn't get up today."

Pei Peng woke up a little bit. When he heard the news, he glanced at the woman in the green palace dress, and said in a hoarse voice just after waking up:

"Then let her have a good rest and have a look at the doctor. Xiao Ruo, come and dress me up."

Xiao Ruo told Pei Pengtong while sending it to her:
"Your Highness, there is a letter asking you to open it at the door. I have checked it, and there is nothing wrong with it. I have brought it here. Would you like to see it later?"

"I wonder who sent it?"

"Chief Guard Cheng has sent someone to investigate."

"Then let's wait until he checks it out and then I decide whether I want to read it or not."

Pei Peng didn't pay much attention to this letter. She had seen some similar mysterious letters before.

Some wrote some ground-breaking remarks to attract her attention, and some yelled at her, as if she, a princess, could affect the fate of the country.

But she had only seen the latter twice.

One of them was full of benevolence and morality, and commented on what she had done. In the end, he still wanted to be her disciple and "assist her in managing her reputation."

This person who loves swords and slant was sent to the Charity House by Pei Peng, who not only forced him to donate a large sum of money, but also sent two people to take care of him, let him take care of the lonely old people and the abandoned Children, so that we can fully practice "benevolence, righteousness and morality".

It is said that he has become a well-known benevolent person, helping others everywhere, and even lost his family because of it.

The other, because he not only scolded her but also scolded the late emperor in the letter, and kept his head hidden and refused to show his face, Pei Peng forwarded the letter to her father.I didn't pay attention to the follow-up.

Seeing that Pei Peng didn't care much about the letter, Xiao Ruo mentioned another matter.

"The son-in-law sent someone over."

Speaking of this, Xiao Ruo carefully looked at Pei Peng's expression through the bronze mirror, seeing that she did not object, and then continued:

"The son-in-law said that the yard where he lives is close to the waterside pavilion, there are more mosquitoes, and it's been raining all the time. His side is even more humid, making it uncomfortable to live in."

Pei Peng probably guessed what Xu Qing meant, but he didn't want to respond as he expected, so he said:
"Then let someone give him a yard away from the water."

"Yes, the servant will talk to the manager in a while."

"Your Highness, Mr. Xu Zhao has also been here. I heard that you didn't wake up and went back."

"Did he say why?"

"I didn't say anything, I just said it's not in a hurry and I'll come to you next time."

"Then leave him alone and wait until he comes again."

Xiaoruo's report didn't stop until Pei Peng's hair was combed.

I don't know why, but there were a lot of things happening this morning. Maybe it was because Pei Peng had just come back. Many people came over to let Pei Peng make up his mind.

Pei Peng dismissed the steward who asked her to report the expenses of the previous two months; encouraged the doorman A who had worked hard during this period but did not make any outstanding contributions; , and gave him return travel expenses to let him go home completely to honor the elderly...

After Pei Peng dealt with these visitors, he let people serve the meal. Since it was not early, they simply ate brunch together.

But this time was indeed unlucky. Others did not expect that Pei Peng would eat at this time, especially Yang Luo, who was not well-informed in this house.

He took the first official mission, and in view of the heavy workload, he set the departure date for tomorrow, so he naturally came to talk to Pei Peng today.

People were already waiting outside the courtyard gate, Pei Peng thought for a while, she had other things to do in the afternoon, and she really didn't have time to meet Yang Luo, so she let someone pass it on.

It was only after Yang Luo came in that he realized that Pei Peng was eating, and was in a dilemma for a while.

It's impolite to interrupt someone while they're eating, especially if the other person's status is so much higher than your own.

He looked down at the floor and apologized:
"Your Highness, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were eating, I... I can come over when it's convenient for you."

"No, I'm too busy this morning. I haven't found a chance to eat breakfast, so I put it together with lunch. Don't be restrained, I don't have so many rules here, and I focus on business."

After Pei Peng comforted the other party, he asked again:
"You haven't eaten lunch, have you? I'll have someone serve you a portion, so you can sit down and use some. We'll discuss it after we finish eating. We can't make you wait."
