Chapter 171
Pei Jing and Chen Miao lived in Prince Xiang's mansion, and they had all the eating utensils, which were exactly the same as Xiao Yefeng.

Although the life in the palace is not extravagant, Prince Xiang is an extremely distinguished royal family and nobleman. No matter in the three meals a day, or in the bathing and bedding, they all reflect the status that a prince should have.

Pei Jing whispered in Chen Miao's ear more than once.

"There are more than 50 dishes in one meal, what a waste!"

"There are rose petals in the handwashing water. It's so extravagant, but it's delicious. Wife, you should wash it too."

When taking a bath at night, what surprised Chen Miao even more was that the bath water was milk.

You must know that poor families are reluctant to eat even if their own cows produce some milk by chance, and they will sell all of them in the market for money.

Here, a bucket full of milk is actually used for bathing.

Although Chen Miao was born as a young lady, she had lived a hard life after all, not to mention how could she be willing to take a bath with a bucket full of milk with a strong fragrance.

Chen Miao politely declined, and said to the maid who dressed her to take a bath: "I appreciate this kind of hospitality, and I am ashamed of it. Please change the water for me, otherwise I would rather not take a bath."

The maid had no choice but to ask Xiao Yefeng, Xiao Yefeng smiled lightly, and ordered someone to bring fresh water again.

Chen Miao didn't need others to serve her, she quickly took a bath by herself, and when she returned to her room, she said to Pei Jing: "After we see Ling'er and Xin'er tomorrow, let's find an excuse to live in an inn outside. Love it here."

Pei Jing smiled and said: "It seems that his thoughts are in the wrong place."

Chen Miao stared at him: "What do you mean?"

Pei Jing hugged her in his arms and said softly: "Okay, no matter whether we can see Ling'er and Xin'er tomorrow, we will go to the inn."

When going to bed at night, the two of them were lying on a soft bed, covered with a thin silk brocade quilt, and a corner of the room was filled with a faint fragrance of agarwood, but the two of them stared at each other without any sleepiness.

After turning over countless times, Chen Miao said softly, "I miss the big bed at home."

Pei Jing also muttered: "The bed is too soft, and the room is too fragrant. I can't sleep because of the smell."

The two looked at each other for a while, and suddenly burst out laughing.

Chen Ling and Pei Xin came back in the afternoon of the second day. They haven't seen each other for more than half a year. Both of them have grown a lot taller. Chen Ling, who is almost 15 years old, has a rosy complexion and is wearing a student uniform issued by Taixue. He is full of energy. Yes, as soon as she saw Chen Miao, she screamed and rushed up, threw herself into Chen Miao's arms and choked her throat.

"Sister, why did you come here? I miss you so much!"

Chen Miao caressed her younger brother's shiny black and soft forehead hair. She also felt her nose sore, and said softly: "You are so old, and you have been studying in Taixue for so long, why are you not stable at all? Much more stable than you."

Chen Ling sniffed, raised her head in embarrassment, and called out to Pei Jing next to her, "Brother-in-law."

Pei Jing nodded with a smile and said, "I haven't seen Linger in half a year, and she has grown up a lot."

At this moment, Pei Xin who was standing on the side walked over slowly, first saluted Xiao Yefeng, and said respectfully: "See Prince Xiang."

Xiao Yefeng smiled and said: "No, there is no need to be formal here."

Chen Ling stuck out her tongue, and bowed to Xiao Yefeng, Xiao Yefeng smiled and said: "Okay, I said earlier that there is no need to be formal."

He turned his head and said to everyone: "You guys slowly talk about the past, I still have something to do, so let's leave for a while."

Then he turned and left.

The 16-year-old Pei Xin is tall and slender, much taller than Chen Ling.

Pei Jing was originally handsome, and Pei Xin was his biological brother, so naturally he was not inferior. Although he was not as good as Pei Jing, he was still a handsome young man.

He was also wearing the student uniform issued by Taixue, blue and white matching his figure and appearance, he was really much more mature than Chen Ling who was still somewhat childish.

After meeting with Xiao Yefeng, he turned around and bowed to Pei Jing and Chen Miao, "Brother, sister-in-law."

Seriously, but a little more alienated.

Pei Jing felt a little more emotional in his heart, since he was a child, this younger brother was not close to him.

When I was young, I was stubborn and my parents doted on me. This younger brother was not fair and tried his best to study, just to prove that he was much better than himself.

Now that he is getting older and he has become a soldier, this younger brother seems to be really good at school, and he is afraid that he will go a long way in his official career in the future, but the brotherhood has become more and more indifferent.

Pei Jing said with a faint smile: "Xin'er Linger, Yunzhou City has settled down now, and parents miss you very much. We came to Beijing today to take you home."

Chen Ling exclaimed happily: "That's great! I miss my adoptive father and foster mother too!"

Chen Miao smiled and patted his head, but Chen Ling said: "But in a few days we will have a ten-day exam, do we still have to take the exam?"

Chen Miao said with a smile: "Of course, the test must be done well. We are not in a hurry to leave. Your brother-in-law has a month's leave. Excluding the time to go back and forth, we can still stay in the capital for eight or nine days. We just have to wait. After you finish the exam, you will pick up Yue'er and leave together."

Chen Ling said happily: "That's good. I heard that Yue'er entered the palace and stayed by the side of Empress Concubine De. She is very proud!"

Chen Miao smiled and said nothing.

Pei Jing saw that Pei Xin hadn't spoken all this time, and he didn't see much joy in his expression, so he asked, "Why, Xin'er, don't you want to go home?"

Pei Xinqiang smiled to himself, and said: "No, I'm just afraid of delaying my studies. I used to go to Beijing after half of my studies in Yunzhou City. Now I've only studied in Beijing for half a year. I'm going back to Yunzhou City again. The teachings of the Taifu are not the same, I am afraid it will affect the course work."

Chen Ling curled her lips, and at the end he was very dismissive of his remarks, and said lightly: "What is taught is not only the Four Books and Five Classics, how much difference can it be made where you learn it? I see, you are reluctant to part with the glory and wealth here. "

Chen Miao reprimanded lightly: "Ling'er, how can you talk to brother like that!"

Chen Ling smiled and didn't pay attention, but turned her head and said to Pei Jing: "Brother-in-law, I heard that you entered the military camp and became a high-ranking official? Do you have many soldiers under your command?"

Pei Jing smiled and said: "It's not a very big official. There are about six or seven hundred soldiers under him."

Chen Ling exclaimed in admiration: "Wow, that's amazing! Brother-in-law, have you ever been on the battlefield? You must have killed many barbarians in the desert country, right? I told my classmates that my brother-in-law was a general who defended the country and killed many barbarians. They are all envious of me!"

Pei Jing glanced at Pei Xin, who had an extremely ugly face, and sighed silently. Could it be that this child has been dazzled by the prosperity of the capital after only half a year in the capital?

He smiled lightly, and said to Chen Ling: "I'm not a general, but a seventh-rank captain, and I'm still far away from a general. You should study hard in the future, and your brother-in-law will teach you martial arts, okay?"
