stern wife

Chapter 677 Uneasy
Pei Xingshan's behavior fell into Pei Xiaoran's eyes, but all he got in return was sneering.

When you have it, you don't know how to cherish it, but instead spoil it.

After losing it, I regretted it inexplicably, and wanted to eat what was in the bowl and look at what was in the pot.

Oh, it's just wishful thinking.

The horse wants to eat the grass of turning back, but the grass of turning back is not happy to be eaten by him.

After entering the mourning hall, burning paper money and burning incense for the old lady, Pei Xiaoran was submerged in the guests who came to say hello.

Received the same treatment, as well as her elder brother and third brother.

Today, their identities are completely different from those of the past. Although they are not as loyal as the Duke's Mansion for generations, they are still two generals and one chancellor, occupying a pivotal position in the court.

Pei Xiaoran is even more the darling of the Holy Majesty. Countless people have tried to get close to her but they can't find a way. Now that they finally have the chance, how can they miss it?

As for His Highness the First Prince of Suzaku and His Highness Li Wang of Great Yin...

The identities of these two are naturally the most honorable here, but because they are too honorable, after saluting, everyone dared not disturb them, and consciously hid aside.

Originally, after coming in to offer incense and talk to the host, he should have left.

However, Zhu Lianxi saw that Baili Lieyuan found a chair and sat down very familiarly, as if she didn't intend to leave, so she immediately decided to stay.

He couldn't give Baili Lieyuan any chance to get close to Pei Xiaoran.

Therefore, you need to stare at it carefully to be at ease.

Baili Lieyuan's attention was not on her rival in love, but on Pei Xiaoran not far away.

Although I have met once before, I can't help it, I just can't see enough.

Although the little girl has grown up, she still has the shadow of that year, as calm and calm as before.

Although the smiles to the guests are somewhat polite, they are still as bright as before, like the sun, making people feel warm and amiable.

Probably because of her martial arts practice, she is taller than her peers such as Pei Huayu and Pei Shuli. Although her figure is slender, she exudes a force that cannot be ignored.

Even if she was just entertaining guests, her back was habitually straight, making her waist look slim and her legs long, giving her a heroic beauty.

His Royal Highness Li Wang was watching intently, when suddenly, his eyes darkened, and there were two more slender figures.

"Your Highness, this is the scented tea made by my little girl for His Highness, please Your Highness to taste."

Holding a bowl of tea, Pei Huayu walked slowly to Baili Lieyuan and said softly.

Pei Shuli was not willing to be left behind, and hurriedly followed:
"Your Highness, this is a dessert made by my daughter for you. This dessert is my favorite. It's delicious. Your Highness, please taste it."

His line of sight was blocked, His Royal Highness Li Wang felt displeased, and turned his head to look at Qin Guan.

Qin Guan understood, and immediately said with a gentle smile:
"Thank you for your kindness, the two ladies. However, it is better to be careful when you go out. Please be considerate of the two ladies."

Generally speaking, the higher the status of a person, the less likely they are to use outside things so as not to be poisoned by others.

Especially when you have not watched the production process with your own eyes, you should not eat and drink indiscriminately.

Although this is in the Duke's Mansion, there shouldn't be any problems, but the key point is that Baili Lieyuan is not Suzaku's prince, so he needs to be more careful.

When the two sisters heard this, they couldn't hide their disappointment.

You know, in order to offer their 'heart' as soon as possible, the two sisters didn't even have time to eat the steamed buns that His Royal Highness Li Wang gave them.

He only asked people to send all the buns back to his own yard, and strictly ordered no one to eat them, and immediately rushed to the kitchen hungry to prepare his best tea and snacks.

In the end...it was a waste of work.

However, in the end, the safety of His Royal Highness Li Wang is the most important thing. If the other party is forced to accept it, it is impossible for the other party to misunderstand that they really put something in the food.

As a last resort, the two sisters had no choice but to retreat to the side with their things again.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Pei Huayu's back holding tea and leaving, Baili Lieyuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, picked up the teacup next to him, stood up, and strode towards the most special figure in the crowd go.

Probably thinking of the same floor as him, at almost the same time, Zhu Lianxi also picked up the teacup in his hand and walked towards Pei Xiaoran.

Pei Xiaoran was saying goodbye to several guests who had already exchanged greetings, and in the blink of an eye, two more bowls of tea appeared in front of him.

Baili Lieyuan smiled and said:

"After talking for so long, you must be thirsty? Drink some tea to moisten your throat."

Zhu Lianxi glanced at the guy who was an eyesore, and said in a rare gentle tone:
"I haven't touched this tea, and the temperature is just right. Drink some to moisten your throat."

Although there were many people in the room, and most people's attention was not on this side, the standing of the two big figures on the left and right still attracted many people's curious eyes.

Especially Pei Huayu and Pei Shuli's lower lip was about to be bitten with jealousy.

They worked so hard to make food for His Royal Highness Li Wang, but they didn't want it.

Pei Xiaoran didn't do anything, yet he got tea delivered by His Royal Highness Li Wang himself!

What the hell is this!
Fortunately, because Pei Youmin didn't want to keep watch for the old lady, she didn't show up because she was unwell, otherwise, the scene would have been even more chaotic.

Pei Xiaoran looked left and right, and took the teacup from Zhu Lianxi without hesitation.

Then he raised his face and said very politely to a certain His Royal Highness whose smile had dimmed in an instant:

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but Xiao Ran can't drink that much, please take it back, Your Highness."

Baili Lieyuan pursed her light-colored thin lips. It was undeniable that the moment Pei Xiaoran chose Zhu Lianxi's cup of tea, his heart seemed to be tightly clenched by someone, and he felt suffocated. .

Raising his eyes, he slowly looked at the man opposite him.

Baili Lieyuan was a little puzzled.

Because he clearly remembered that back then, Pei Xiaoran was extremely repulsive to this person. Although she tried her best to cover it up, he could feel that Pei Xiaoran absolutely didn't like this person.

But why, between herself and him, she chose him?
Could it be that something happened in these years that caused Pei Xiaoran to change his view of him?
That's right, I heard that His Royal Highness, the eldest prince of Suzaku, is very fond of Pei Xiaoran, and there are many rumors about the two of them.

At that time, he thought it was just a rumor and didn't take it seriously.

But looking at it now, I'm afraid it wasn't because they had been together for a long time, which caused the two to fall in love for a long time, and then made Pei Xiaoran change his mind.

After all, no amount of letters can compare to a caring and considerate sentence that is close at hand.

Thinking of this, Baili Lieyuan's hand holding the teacup slightly tightened, but she still stubbornly refused to take it back.
