Snowy Chang'an Road

Chapter 4 Parting on bad terms
  Looking at herself in the big bronze mirror, Pei Ying was very satisfied. It was clean, comfortable and natural. Yunrou curled her lips behind her, not daring to say anything.

When Wei Shao was talking to Pei Kai, he suddenly saw a woman walking in. His eyes were instantly attracted to her, not because of her stunning appearance, but because she was slender, dressed in white, and had her hair tied up. A simple bun with only a silver tassel decoration. This kind of dress does not look dull, but has an independent look.

Wei Shao had also seen many princes and noble ladies, and none of them were surrounded by pearls and emeralds, and were adorned with silk and fragrant powder. Before he even got close, the pungent aroma hit his face, which made him disgusted.

His eyes swept over her quickly. Her exposed skin was very fair and her neck was slender. Although she didn't wear makeup, she could still see some beauty. She behaved generously and showed no coyness. How can I say, at first glance, she was not shy. Hate.

As soon as Pei Ying sat down after saluting, Pei Sheng appeared right after.

Pei Sheng was the one that Wei Shao hated, surrounded by pearls and jade, silk and fragrant powder, he wished he could wear all his good things.

"Why are you here?" Cao Quan looked at his daughter, feeling unhappy.

"If you go back to your mother, my daughter will come to see her future brother-in-law."

Pei Kai's eyes were filled with love and he said with a smile: "Sheng'er, since you're here, please sit down."

She walked over to Pei Ying and sat down. The two of them formed a sharp contrast. Pei Sheng looked at her with a look that was a little provocative, a little proud, and a little contemptuous.

Everyone chatted like this without saying a word. The servants came to pass the news, and His Royal Highness the Prince came to visit.

This sudden visit left everyone confused, and Pei Kai also murmured in his heart. Wei Shao's coming here was something he expected, so why did His Highness the Crown Prince come here? However, he had been in official circles for a long time, so he was not in a hurry. He got up with everyone and went out to greet them.

Wei Huan originally didn't want to come. In his eyes, he didn't look down on these counselors at all. He admired generals more than counselors. Generals relied on their true skills to conquer the world, while counselors could get things by just using their brains and talking. He has always been dissatisfied with having the same or even higher status than military generals.

For this reason, he is not close to his mother's family. It's just for the sake of the throne, and no one will divulge this piece of paper.

Today's visit was urged by his mother. Yesterday, Duke Pei just said a few words for the emperor's brother in the court, which made his mother uneasy and insisted that he come to explore the truth. However, in his heart, he wanted to see the emperor even more. Brother, at the banquet that day, due to the surveillance of his mother, he didn't even have a chance to say a few words to the emperor's brother.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is here to visit. I apologize for the delay in welcoming you from afar."

"Pei Guogong doesn't need to be polite."

"I see you, Your Highness."

"Brother, there is no need to be polite."

"A few days ago, Liaodong County received a batch of fox furs. The Queen Mother selected a few pieces and ordered me to send them to make some large cloaks for the female family members at home."

"Thank you, Queen, I am deeply grateful."

The group of people sat down in the main hall, and the charcoal fire in the house was burning even brighter.

Pei Kai looked around and wondered why his daughter was missing. He called Shen Ce to whisper a few words.

A moment later, Pei Sheng appeared again, shocking everyone. It was just a big dancing moth. A smile appeared on the corner of Pei Ying's mouth, and she quickly drank a sip of tea to suppress it.

Wei Shao's face was still stern, Wei Huan's eyes were full of smiles, and Cao Quan felt a little disgusted in his heart.

Only Pei Kai, he really likes it. Compared with the dullness of his eldest daughter, he prefers the brightness of his second daughter. In his eyes, girls should be innocent, bright and charming, instead of being stern all the time. Uninteresting.

It was obvious that Pei Sheng really cared about the Crown Prince, or that she really cared about being the Crown Princess.

After completing the mission of his mother, Wei Huan could not listen to a word of what was said in these scenes. What he wanted to know most now was how the imperial brother conquered the traitorous ministers. He wanted to hear him talk about the fighting on the battlefield, but Duke Pei and It was very inconvenient for his wife to be here, so he came up with a plan and proposed to go to the garden of Duke Pei's mansion to enjoy the scenery.

"Your Highness, the winter is bleak and there is no scenery in the garden."

"The Duke's words are wrong. I think the desolate winter is just a scene."

Pei Kai couldn't say anything else, so he had to accompany His Highness the Crown Prince to enjoy the scenery.

"No need, since Lord Shenglin is here, I don't need to bother the Duke about enjoying the scenery." Cao Ao tugged at her husband's sleeves and nodded, and Pei Kai understood.

"Then there is County Master Lao."

Pei Sheng's joy was beyond words. She walked happily to Wei Huan, walked side by side with him, and began to introduce the beautiful scenery in the garden endlessly.

Wei Shao followed closely, and Pei Ying had no choice but to follow. She didn't know how many times she had rewarded the poor garden at home. Thinking about it, the woman was really pitiful. She was imprisoned in a world every day and had no idea about the outside world. How wonderful it is, it’s really sad to be held back by rules and blocked up in your mind.

Even though she felt bored, she still went together. People always have to force themselves to do boring things.

"This pond is my dad."

"County Lord, you have said so much, aren't you thirsty?"

Pei Sheng was a little embarrassed, but he quickly reacted.

"I'm thirsty, how about we move to the conservatory and have a cup of tea?"

"So good."

Without the eyes of the elders, the atmosphere among the four of them can be more harmonious.

"Brother Imperial, I have heard about your heroic killing of the rebel Fan Hui on the front line this time. Please tell me quickly, how did you kill him?"

Wei Shao's face became even more gloomy, and Wei Huan's words sounded very harsh to him.

"Rebel Fan Hui, have you forgotten that he is also our uncle?"

This retort made Wei Huan blush instantly.

"Your Highness, I have no comment."

"Brother Emperor, it's true that he is an uncle, but from the day he rebelled, he was only a traitor to Fan Hui, not his uncle Fan Hui."

"He didn't rebel."

"He raised an army in Guangyang Kingdom and wanted to unite other kings with different surnames to attack Chang'an, but the others were not as stupid as him and dared to go against his father."

"Have you ever seen him rebel with your own eyes?"

Wei Huan was at a loss for words again. Pei Sheng didn't listen to a word of the conversation between the two of them. She always kept her mother's teachings in mind. Women should not discuss government affairs arbitrarily. She always chose to be silent in conversations between men.

On the other hand, Pei Ying seemed not to care, but in fact, she listened very carefully.

"I won't argue with you. My father said he was a rebel, so he will certainly not be wronged."

Wei Shao was speechless, and this originally harmonious conversation ended unhappily.

Wei Huan walked in front angrily, and Pei Sheng quickly followed.

Pei Ying looked at the two people in front of her and couldn't help but sigh. It's a big taboo for a girl to catch up with her.

Wei Shao looked at her casually, walked up to her and said, "You are very calm and gentle."

Pei Ying turned back and faced his chest. She raised her head and looked up at Wei Shao's face.

Oops, I twisted my neck.
