stern wife

Chapter 361
There is only one piece of roasted rabbit head per person, and it will be gone after eating. Many people also think that the taste is very good, and they can't get enough of it. Therefore, when they heard this, everyone looked over one after another, their eyes full of envy.

Moreover, the lady-in-waiting said "a little expression" of gratitude, indicating that there will be more benefits in the future.

Everyone has heard about the assassination of His Royal Highnesses. Emperor Chixuan even specially sent someone to investigate. The heroic deeds of Pei Xiaoran's rescue of the two His Royal Highnesses have also been spread all over the place.

Although practicing martial arts is extremely hard, seeing that Pei Xiaoran has repeatedly made meritorious service and received so many honors because of practicing martial arts, many young ladies from aristocratic families regret that their parents didn't ask someone to teach them martial arts when they were young.

Start learning now, don't know if it's too late?
However, what everyone didn't know was that the only person Pei Xiaoran really wanted to save was His Royal Highness.

Needless to say, it was Zhu Tingzhi who helped her.

As for Zhu Lianxi, it was just incidental.

If Zhu Lianxi was the only one present at that time, it goes without saying that Pei Xiaoran would never have rescued her.

Facing the incomparably alluring roasted rabbit head exuding a lingering aroma, Pei Xiaoran didn't even glance at it, but said lightly:
"Your Highness, the eldest prince, is serious. This is what a young girl should do. How dare you accept a thank you gift? Please send the things back, and tell His Highness by the way, so that he doesn't have to worry about it anymore."

The palace maid never expected that Pei Xiaoran would reject such a delicious food, aren't all children greedy?
Why is she:

"This……"

"Do as I say, Your Highness will not blame you."

Seeing her resolute attitude, the maid had no choice but to bow her head and say:

"Yes."

Then he went back with the tray in his hand.

The ladies looked at each other, a little puzzled.

Pei Xiaoran accepted all the gifts and rewards given by the Holy Majesty, so why did he not want what was given by His Royal Highness the First Prince?
Could it be that he disliked the things His Royal Highness gave were too 'shabby'?
Some people think that Pei Xiaoran is too rude to His Royal Highness the First Prince, isn't it because he knows a little martial arts?Even without her good Highness who could still be protected by her guards, she really regarded herself as a character.

Some people also think that this little girl is very scheming. After all, the situation is not clear now, no matter which prince gets too close, it is not a wise decision.

Pei Xiaoran didn't care what other people were thinking, and continued to eat and drink.

Just when everyone thought that Pei Xiaoran would offend His Highness the First Prince, after a while, the maid came back again.

But this time, she was no longer holding a tray in her hand, but a black cloak.

The maid still smiled and said:
"Miss Pei, His Majesty asked the servants to bring this over. He said it was cold outside, and after the banquet is over, please don't forget to add more clothes before going out."

Before Pei Xiaoran could refuse, the maid said again:

"His Majesty also said that this is not a thank you gift, and he will send someone to Ms. Pei tomorrow to get it back. So, Ms. Pei should accept it, right?"

Pei Xiaoran can be sure that Zhu Lianxi definitely has other plans for her.

Otherwise, since we met in this life, I haven't given him a good face, so why does he still go after Baba to please himself?
Han Chan is careful, so naturally she won't forget to bring Pei Xiaoran a cloak when she goes out.

However, the other party has already said the words to this point, and if I refuse, it will seem a little disrespectful.

It's not good to hear it in the ears of the Holy Majesty.

Pei Xiaoran thought for a while, and could only reluctantly say:
"Then Xiaoran would like to thank His Highness the First Prince for his kindness."

Only then did the palace maid breathe a sigh of relief, and quickly handed over the cloak to Han Chan standing behind Pei Xiaoran.

Only now did I feel that those people who Pei Xiaoran didn't know how to praise suddenly had the illusion of being slapped on the face with a volley, and their faces were a little ugly.

His Royal Highness the First Prince has a noble status, why bother to lower his status to a little girl who rejected him, and let the maid beg her to accept what he gave in such a low voice?

If it is said that he has taken a fancy to the power behind Pei Xiaoran's Duke's Mansion... Pei Xingshan has been trapped in the capital for so long, and he has already shown signs of losing the emperor's heart. Maybe one day the Pei family will disappear.

Therefore, it is no longer a wise decision to marry the Pei family.

And even though Pei Xiaoran is now a celebrity in front of the sage, how much trouble can a little girl's film cause?
These people couldn't figure it out, so they could only say a few sour words in their hearts.

After a meal full of oil, Pei Xiaoran was extremely satisfied, and after drinking tea and chatting for a while, Emperor Chixuan got up and went back to rest, and everyone followed suit.

When walking to the door, the cool night wind blows towards her face, Han Chan hastily shook off the cloak in her hand, trying to put it on for Pei Xiaoran.

Pei Xiaoran wrinkled his little nose, and said with a look of disgust:

"Change one."

Han Chan had no choice but to put Pei Xiaoran on her own cloak, and then raised the cloak awarded by His Highness the First Prince.

Pei Xiaoran laughed, and said:
"Sister Han Chan, have you ever seen someone wearing two cloaks?"

Han Chan carefully looked around and saw that no one noticed them, so she whispered:
"But it was rewarded by His Royal Highness. If someone sees that the lady did not use the cloak given by His Highness, will it be said that Miss is disrespectful to His Highness?"

"Just say it," Pei Xiaoran shrugged his shoulders without fear, and said:

"The mouth grows on others, and the brain grows on His Majesty himself. I can't control the former. If the latter, if His Majesty is so easy to listen to rumors, I'm afraid I won't be able to live now."

"Shh-!"

Han Chan hurriedly made a silence gesture, her face turned pale with fright, thinking that Xiao Ran of their family really dared to say anything!How dare you say it in a place with so many people!
Pei Xiaoran took Han Chan's hand to pat it, smiled and comforted him:
"Sister Han Chan, don't be afraid, since I dare to say it, it means that I am not afraid of being heard."

Pei Xiaoran was destined to become enemies with Zhu Lianxi, so she was not afraid of offending him.

Besides, today is not what it used to be, she no longer likes the other party, so why worry about whether the other party likes or hates her?
Han Chan glared at her in disapproval, and said:
"Outside, it's better to be cautious in your words and actions."

Pei Xiaoran didn't talk back, and nodded obediently:

"Sister Hanchan, I understand."

Han Chan smiled and raised her hand to rub her head.

After waiting for a long time, Pei Xingshan finally appeared, and there was another person beside him.

When seeing that person, Pei Xiaoran's expression suddenly darkened a little.

The man also saw her, smiled and said to Pei Xingshan:
"Hey, this should be Mrs. Pei's daughter, I've admired her name for a long time~"

Pei Xingshan smiled politely, then looked at Pei Xiaoran, and ordered:
"Still salute to your Uncle Xue?"

That's right, this person is exactly Xue Yuan's father—Xue Anren, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.
