Snowy Chang'an Road

Chapter 25 Someone harmed me
  Thirty miles northwest of Chang'an City, the Wei River flows from west to east, irrigating the Guanzhong Plain. There is an ancient Weicheng ferry above the Wei River, which is the starting point of the waterway out of Chang'an in the east.

Wei Shao and Pei Ying rode together without any entourage.

By the ancient ferry, the two of them found a restaurant to sit down with a plate of side dishes and a pot of tea.

The ferry was not busy, so the two of them sat quietly, watching the people and boats passing by from time to time.

"If your Majesty allows merchants to do business, this place will be very lively."

"In His Majesty's eyes, businessmen are the last thing to be seen."

"That's why the people of the Wei Dynasty lived such a hard life. We can only drink local tea. We don't know how many good things there are in the world."

Wei Shao took a sip of tea. His words were on his lips, but he just couldn't ask.

Pei Ying vaguely guessed his little thoughts, but did not reveal them.

Wei Shao asked tentatively: "How did you sleep last night?"

"pretty good."

"You were drunk last night, do you remember what you did?"

Pei Ying nodded and said, "Remember."

Listening to her crisp answer, Wei Shao felt awkward unconsciously.

"I kissed you."

Wei Shao's mind went blank. Seeing her calmness and boldness, he felt that he was like a girl, but she was like a man.

"you"

"Wei Shao, don't get me wrong. I was just drunk and a little drunk, so I did what I did. Don't take it to heart. Just pretend that nothing happened."

Hearing this, Wei Shao felt mixed emotions for a while.

Wei Shao mustered up a lot of courage and said it firmly.

"Pei Ying, I like you."

Pei Ying looked at him and said, "I know."

"how about you?"

"I like you too."

This kind of answer of "hell" and "heaven" made Wei Shao feel like he was on a roller coaster.

"Then us"

"Stop, Wei Shao, I think you misunderstood. My liking for you is an appreciation between friends, just like I also like Yun Rou and Bai Zheng. Do you understand?"

Wei Shao's mood hit rock bottom again, but he still wanted to struggle.

"But I'm different from them. I'm your husband, and you... kissed me last night."

"I've already explained this. I drank too much and did something outrageous. I hope you won't take it to heart."

Wei Shao was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say. He was originally traveling with great interest, but after a few sentences, everything seemed boring. Although everything he experienced last night was beautiful, Pei Ying's explanation now was also very clear. Could it be that Is it because I have unrequited love alone?

But judging from her performance, it seems that she really doesn't have much interest in him.

The following days passed very quickly. Pei Ying spent the whole day either eating, drinking or having fun outside.

But she would also take time out every day to accompany her grandfather and grandmother. Her presence in the entire Peking Palace added a lot of joy and laughter, which gradually added more color to Wei Shao's originally bleak life.

In Wei Shao's eyes, except for her unwillingness to take responsibility for what happened that night, everything was developing in a good direction.

"Grandma, these are the lotus root powder ice balls I made. They are the best for relieving the heat. You and grandpa can try them. Just don't eat too much."

"Okay, Yingying is interested."

Deng Guogong and his wife were happy to see their grandson and grandson's daughter-in-law singing harmoniously and respecting each other as if they were guests, but they were also worried.

Mrs. Deng Guogong endured it for a long time, but she still couldn't help asking.

"Yingying, have you felt tired, nauseous and uncomfortable lately?"

"No, grandma doesn't have to worry about my health. Everything I eat tastes good and I rarely get sick."

"That's good. If you feel uncomfortable in any way, you must tell us as soon as possible." 　　　 "Okay."

Pei Ying took a bite of the ice dumplings and recalled what her grandmother had just said. No, how could she suddenly care about her body for no reason? Could this be a test? She glanced at the people on the table and suddenly realized.

"The Duke, the prince, and the palace officials are here."

Several people put down their chopsticks and went to the gate of the palace to greet him.

"It is said in our family that the Queen will ask Princess Peking to come to the palace."

Wei Shao asked: "I wonder why the queen is looking for Princess Peiping?"

"The Crown Princess had a miscarriage, and as soon as she woke up she said she wanted to see Princess Peking."

Hearing this, Pei Ying was a little anxious and asked: "What? The princess has a miscarriage? Why is this?"

"I heard that I was so frightened that the rest of my family didn't know about it. I even asked the princess to come into the palace with me."

"it is good."

Wei Shao said, "I'll go too."

"No, King of Peiping. It will be inconvenient for you to live in a woman's house."

"I am her sister. It must be very sad for her to have a miscarriage. I should go and see her. You don't have to worry."

Wei Shao was still worried. He rode ahead in person, and Pei Ying rode a carriage to deliver her to the palace gate.

In the East Palace Bedroom, Pei Sheng had just woken up from a coma, and her body was very weak.

Seeing Pei Ying come in, she pushed herself up and tried to get up, but to no avail.

"Sister, you are here."

This was the first time Pei Ying heard her call herself this. It was strange to say that calling her sister wiped away all the unpleasantness between the sisters. Blood relationship is really a magical thing.

"You all go down, I have something to say to my sister."

After hearing this, the palace man hesitated for a moment and retreated.

Pei Ying came to her bed, looked at her with a haggard face and disheveled hair, and asked with concern: "Why did you have a miscarriage?"

Hearing this, Pei Sheng closed his eyes and cried heartbrokenly.

"Do your father and your mother know about this?"

Pei Sheng shook his head.

"What did you see? How could you be so scared?"

Pei Sheng opened his eyes in horror, as if he had been stimulated, and described the scene he saw in Liuguang Palace that day.

"But your fetus is already three months old. According to time, it is already sitting. How could you be frightened for no reason?"

"Someone is hurting me."

"who is it?"

"I do not know either."

Seeing her pitiful and helpless look, Pei Ying felt soft and patted her gently to comfort her.

"Why did you ask me to enter the palace?"

"I would like to ask my sister to stay in the palace for a few days and find out for me who wants to harm me. I am surrounded by the Queen's spies and there is no one I can use."

Seeing that she didn't agree, Pei Sheng begged: "Sister, I used to be ignorant. I know that my mother and I were not good to you, but now, I really can't trust anyone. Please forgive me. If you If you can't calm down, you can hit me or scold me. I just ask you not to ignore me. This palace is really terrible."

Seeing her cry, Pei Ying felt very uncomfortable.

She called Yun Rou in and ordered: "Go back to the palace and tell your grandfather and the prince that your sister is sad about having a miscarriage and I will stay with her in the palace for a few days."

"Yes."

　Princess and prince, please read a book. It’s your first day at work and you’re exhausted.
