Snowy Chang'an Road

Deng Guogong and his wife knew that they were out and were resting in their room after dinner. However, they heard that their servants came to report that they had brought a woman back to their house. After thinking about it, they decided to go and see what happened.

In the room, Qing'er sat at the table without saying a word. Pei Ying was always by her side holding her hand. It was obvious that she trusted Pei Ying.

"Grandpa."

Wei Shao and Pei Ying stood up and saluted. When Qing'er saw the stranger, she grabbed Pei Ying's hand tighter and hid behind her.

When Deng Guogong saw that the woman was wearing Pei Ying's cloak and that she was holding Pei Ying's hand tightly, he already guessed something about it.

"Who is this woman?"

Pei Ying originally wanted to explain, but Wei Shao said one step ahead of her: "Hui Grandfather, this is the maidservant of Shanglinyuan."

"Shanglinyuan's maid, why did you bring her back to the palace?"

Wei Shao did not hide anything and told the truth about what happened today. Duke Deng and his wife listened carefully and did not interrupt him.

After he finished speaking, Deng Guogong asked: "Are you going to the palace to see the saint tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

Wei Shao was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Kuai Tong, the former internal official next to Wei Yuan, do you know why he died?"

Wei Shao had heard his colleagues mention this matter in private. Because it involved the queen, he interrupted in time and did not go into details.

"My grandson doesn't know."

"He had an affair with the Queen. It wasn't until after you were defeated by the Huns that Your Majesty returned to Chang'an and killed him to vent his anger. Although it was claimed that Kuai Tong was incompetent in serving the Lord, no one in the palace knew about Kuai Tong's private affairs with the Queen. Quite a few, Wei Yuan has been holding back for the sake of royal dignity. In the final analysis, it is the impurities of these internal officials that caused these scandals."

"But I have already brought Cai Yu back to Chang'an."

"What? Where is he now?"

"In the backyard woodshed."

"Nonsense."

Seeing Deng Guogong getting angry, the two of them lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Seeing the awkward situation, Mrs. Deng Guogong stepped forward to ease the atmosphere.

"Since the child has died, we elders should bear the burden for them. I think there is nothing wrong with what Shao'er and Ying'er did. Although Shanglin Garden is a summer palace, it is also His Majesty's territory. He is a small internal official. , Dare to do such an arrogant thing on His Majesty’s territory, if His Majesty knew about it, he would definitely kill him.”

Hearing his wife's excuse for his grandson, Deng Guogong became even more angry.

"Don't you know who Cai Yu belongs to?"

"The Queen's people."

Now it was Deng Guogong who was surprised, where did his wife get the news.

"The queen disregarded the royal dignity and had an affair with an internal official around her majesty. Your majesty killed Kuai Tong, which actually showed his attitude. Now this Cai Yu was killed by himself, and Shaoer was just doing justice for heaven. What does the child have to do? Wrong, it's just that this matter is really obscure. Shao'er, you'd better enter the palace quietly and don't attract too much attention. In addition, when talking about this matter, you must pay more attention to His Majesty's face and His Majesty's attitude towards this matter. Attitude, three feet of ice cannot be frozen in a day, this matter can be big or small, you must be careful."

In Pei Ying's impression, her grandmother had always stayed close to home, taking care of the affairs of the house and teaching her how to manage the house. Unexpectedly, she was also a woman of character in the face of big issues.

"It's getting late. Let's go back to our room and rest. The two children are also tired after a long day. Let's go."

Deng Guogong wanted to say something more, but he was forcefully dragged out of the room by a warning look.

Wei Shao and Pei Ying looked at each other.

"I always thought that my grandfather made the final decision on all the big things in the family."

"I've always thought so."

"I didn't expect that."

"I didn't expect that either."

Hearing that he was imitating her own words, Pei Ying asked, "Why are you imitating me?"

"What you said makes sense, you should learn from her."

Yes, I don’t know when I learned to speak glibly.

It was left to Yunrou to help Qing'er take a bath, but Qing'er had never been willing to be in the same room with Yunrou alone, so Pei Ying had to coax her and guard her outside the bathroom door. At Haishi, after settling down Qing'er, Pei Ying returned to the room.

She opened the door and looked around, but Wei Shao was nowhere to be seen.

Suddenly, she was picked up from behind. When she saw clearly that the person in front of her was Wei Shao, Pei Ying's pink fist lightly hit Wei Shao's thick chest.

"You scared me to death."

"Are you still timid?"

"I'm very timid."

"If you are so timid and dare to provoke a madwoman, you are not afraid of her suddenly going crazy and biting you."

"Qing'er won't bite me, you can't tell."

Wei Shao was stunned for a moment, then understood what she meant, and walked towards the bed with Pei Ying in his arms.

"Door, don't forget to close it."

In the flickering candlelight, the two of them had a chat.

After a whole day of busy work, Wei Shao didn't feel tired. His brain and body were very excited.

Afterwards, Pei Ying lay in his arms, and the two talked about today's events again.

"When you go to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit tomorrow morning, don't speak too directly. Every time you suffer the disadvantage of not being able to speak."

"it is good."

"When you talk about Qing'er's experience, you can add more fuel and make her look more pitiful."

"it is good."

"Please stop talking about Cai Yu's evil deeds. Don't say too much. His Majesty may send someone to investigate the matter. The less you say now, the more your Majesty will know in the future, and he will be angrier."

"it is good."

"Wei Shao, can you stop being so nice all the time?"

"Then I can't tell?"

"."

Pei Ying pretended to be angry and lay in his arms without speaking.

"What, madam is angry?"

"No."

"Madam, when can we have a child of our own? Look at Qing'er, she is younger than us, but she is already pregnant with her second child."

Wei Shao's words were so familiar to Pei Ying before she traveled through time that at this moment, she wondered if Wei Shao was possessed by something dirty.

"Wei Shao, you are a grown man, why are you always talking about having children? I asked you to consider fighting for the throne. How are you thinking about it?"

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, Wei Shao fell silent.

After a while, Wei Shao said: "Madam, we have never had children, right?"

"what?"

"Is there something wrong with someone?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

However, Pei Ying did not feel disgusted by these words. After all, Wei Shao did not blindly attribute the reason for not having children to the woman like many people did, but suspected that both of them might have problems.

"Then tell me, why have we never had children?"

Hearing his questions from the depths of her soul, Pei Ying inevitably felt guilty, but she still calmly replied: "Wei Shao, children are a gift from God to us."

This was the first time Wei Shao heard this.

"It's not up to us to decide when God will let our children come to us, do you understand?"

Wei Shao seemed to understand. Looking at his doubtful eyes, Pei Ying secretly regretted in her heart. If she had known that Greedy was in such trouble, she should have controlled her attempts to tease him.
