Snowy Chang'an Road

Chapter 24 Straight ball teasing
  In the Peking Palace, Deng Guogong and his wife have been waiting for their grandson and granddaughter-in-law to come back.

Originally, the palace also sent them a message, but there was a deep estrangement between Deng Guogong and Wei Yuan in his heart and he was unwilling to go, so he declined due to illness.

After Wei Shao took Pei Ying off the carriage, he went straight into the house. When Deng Guogong and his wife saw their grandson holding his grandson's daughter-in-law, they hurried forward to ask.

"Shao'er, what's wrong with Yingying?"

"The princess gave her wine and she got drunk."

"Aren't they sisters? Why does the younger sister drink from the older sister?"

"Maybe it's jealousy."

Deng Guogong and his wife looked at each other, unable to say anything else.

"In that case, hurry up and take Yingying back to your room. By the way, while you are away, I found a craftsman to renovate your wedding room, so that you don't have to sleep in the study again."

"Thank you, Grandpa."

"Shao'er, I'll send someone to deliver hangover soup to your room later. Feed Yingying and let her drink it."

"Okay, Grandma."

When Wei Shao opened the door, he was a little shocked. They had been married for more than four months, but the room was still covered in red and colorful decorations, with dragons, phoenixes and red candles burning. Grandpa had really taken great pains.

He put Pei Ying on the bed and covered her with a quilt.

"Yunrou, go and look at the hangover soup. Bring it to you when it's ready."

"Yes."

There was a blush on Pei Ying's cheeks. Her skin was white, and the blush made her more delicate.

Wei Shao looked at him intently, his eyes almost falling to her.

Pei Ying could naturally feel all this. She stretched out her right hand and grabbed Wei Shao's lapel. Wei Shao lost his center of gravity and fell towards her, but he managed to hold on in time. Pei Ying stretched out her hands and hugged her again. With a "pop" sound on his neck, he kissed Wei Shao's lips.

She just scratched the surface, and after the kiss, she withdrew her hands and fell on the soft pillow.

Wei Shao's brain lost his ability to think, and before he could react, it was all over.

He looked at Pei Ying, who had fallen asleep in front of him, and was at a loss for a moment.

Should he kiss back?
  Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door outside, bringing his thoughts back to reality.

"Enter."

Seeing that the person coming was Bai Zheng, his expression became even more ugly.

"My lord, what's wrong with you? Why is your face red? Is it fever?"

"No, what brings you here?"

Wei Shao's tone was obviously unhappy, but Bai Zheng didn't hear it.

"The Duke invites you to speak."

"Okay, I understand. You go down first and I will arrive later."

After Bai Zheng left, Wei Shao turned around and was startled to see Pei Ying looking straight at him with her eyes open.

"Aren't you drunk?"

Pei Ying said nothing.

"Would you like some water?"

"."

Seeing that she didn't respond, Wei Shao felt embarrassed.

"Wei Shao, do you like me?"

Wei Shao seemed to be told something that was on his mind. First he was shocked, and then his eyes averted and he acted awkwardly. His face, neck, and ears were all red at the moment. He pretended to cough twice to cover up his embarrassment.

"say something."

"Grandpa asked me to talk, so I'll leave first."

He ran away in a hurry, and Pei Ying said behind him: "Coward."

Wei Shao closed the door and breathed a long sigh of relief. He realized that Pei Ying was not drunk, so could her teasing just now be done deliberately?

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He simply stopped thinking about it. When he turned around, he saw Bai Zheng's expressionless face.

"Why are you here?"

"Didn't you, Your Majesty, ask me to wait outside?" Wei Shao didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only walk towards his grandfather's house with his sleeves rolled up.

Ban Miao drank a few glasses of wine and became a little drunk. Wei Huan ordered Pei Sheng to take his mother and concubine back to the palace.

Outside Liuguang Palace, Ban Miao saw everyone in the palace looking flustered. He randomly called a maid to ask, but the maid hesitated.

Ban Miao felt something happened and hurriedly walked towards the palace.

In the main hall, Kuai Tong's head was placed on a plate and placed on the main table.

Ban Miao saw a head on the main seat of the main hall from a distance. She walked into the hall and saw the face on the head clearly, and tears instantly burst into her eyes.

Pei Sheng, who was following closely behind, couldn't help but scream when she saw such a scene. Her legs were weak from fright and she fell to the ground. The maid hurriedly stepped forward to help her. She just felt like she was being whipped. Her muscles were drained of blood and her whole body felt weak. She turned her face away, not daring to look again.

Ban Miao walked to the desk step by step, with blood still oozing from her head. She stretched out her hand and gently closed Kuai Tong's eyes.

Her eyes were red, filled with grief and deep hatred. She turned around, raised her eyes and looked out of the hall, her eyes full of cruelty.

Ban Miao looked at Pei Sheng who was collapsed on the hall, and looked at her frightened look.

"It's useless. Someone, please send the Crown Princess back to the East Palace."

The maid Tian He walked up to Ban Miao and supported her from behind. Ban Miao turned back to look at Tian He.

"Give him a good burial."

Tian He nodded and slowly helped Ban Miao into the bedroom. The moment he closed the door, Ban Miao couldn't bear it any longer and fell to the ground crying bitterly.

"Queen, please send me your condolences. Your Majesty has an informant in the palace."

"Kill her and do it cleanly."

"Yes."

Tianhe nodded firmly without any hesitation.

Outside Wei Yuan's bedroom, the new internal officer Wu Xun was already in place. When he heard the news from Liuguang Palace, he opened the door and went in to report.

"Your Majesty, the Queen was very calm after seeing Kuai Tong's head. On the contrary, the Crown Princess was frightened. The Queen has already sent her back to the East Palace."

"How did the Queen dispose of the head?"

"Order the head to be buried with dignity."

After hearing this, Wei Yuan said nothing. He just covered himself with a brocade quilt and lay down, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

In the Prince's Mansion of Peiping, Wei Shao came out of his grandfather's house, while Bai Zheng was waiting outside.

Wei Shao said nothing, and Bai Zheng followed him.

"Bai Zheng, let me ask you a question."

"Your Majesty, please tell me."

"You said you like someone, what does it feel like?"

"I don't know, little one."

"You are really ignorant."

When Bai Zheng heard what he said, he couldn't help but retort, "I'm not enlightened, just like you are. Do you think I didn't hear what you just said in the room?"

Wei Shao returned to the room and walked to Pei Ying. Seeing that she was asleep, he carefully tucked her into bed.

He got up and walked to the couch in the room, glanced at the couch, and then looked back at the bed. He seemed to have made a lot of determination, and returned to the bed again, pulling another quilt next to Pei Ying. Lying down gently and slowly.

Everything was silent. Listening to Pei Ying's even breathing, Wei Shao's heart beat wildly.

At about midnight the next day, Pei Ying woke up naturally, rubbed her still dizzy head, and found Yunrou leaning on the bed, looking at him and giggling.

"Why are you laughing so early in the morning? It's so scary."

Yunrou did not answer her question.

"Princess, the prince said that after you wake up, he wants you to freshen up and go find him."

"What's wrong with him?"

"He said he would take you out to play."

Pei Ying's face was full of doubts.

　Happy New Year, princess and prince, please read the book!
