Drawing Crescent Eyebrows: Alluring Zinnia with a Smile

Chapter 176

After taking care of the matter in his hands, the prime minister Pei Fulin just put down his rolled up cuffs and greeted him, with a friendly but alienated smile on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "Qiye, Wangfei, are you here?" I'm far away, but I'm old, so please don't be offended, both of you."

Ye Xu stood with his hands behind his back, his expression full of calmness and peace of mind, and said with a smile: "What did Mr. Pei say, the king and the concubine have been married for a long time, so it should have come to visit me to thank the matchmaker." Putting his arms around Qingyou, he said: "Qingyou, this is not the first time you have met this Prime Minister, now we both have to thank you very much."

Qingyou nodded slightly, bowed her body and said, "Your Excellency, you are polite."

When Pei Xiang saw her salute, he hurriedly backed away, "How dare you? Your Royal Highness, the old minister really dare not accept the gift."

Qingyou's face was gentle and quiet, and she said lightly: "This gift is not about the monarch and his ministers, so the Prime Minister is not allowed to thank Qingyou? This is unreasonable."

Ye Xu also said: "Your Excellency should accept it, why bother to reject it? The imperial concubine Ce Rong announced that day by Your Excellency himself."

"Even so, the old ministers dare not praise Qiye and Wangfei," he said, and quickly invited the two of them to take their seats, "Qiye and Wangfei, please take a seat."

Qingyou expected in his heart that Ye Xu should have a clear picture of the environment inside the house before he entered the door, but right now he still looked around, and then pretended to be worried: "Master Pei's place is a bit rough. It is a pity that Peng Pi was wronged by the status of the prime ministers of the two dynasties."

There was a smile in Pei Xiang's eyes, and then he was still the same as before, and said with a smile: "As Qi Ye said, the old minister has a mere life, but he has been able to go through two dynasties in this aspect. Now he is old and old, he really doesn't look like Marshal Bu Generally, you still have the energy to take care of the general affairs, but this thatched hut is shabby in the eyes of others, but for the old minister, it is as calm as the waves, but it is the bliss in my heart."

That's all, it's just that when he mentioned his father, Qingyou touched her slightly, she just felt that the meaning of these words made her heart tighten for no reason, and she couldn't let it go for a long time.

Ye Xu smiled and said: "Bliss? This king has never heard of it, so the old man still has research on the principles of Buddhist gatha?"

Pei Xiangdao: "I don't dare to study it, but since the three religions merged in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, I am a disciple of the sage Confucius, so I naturally know something about Buddhism and Taoism."

The corner of Ye Xu's mouth fainted slightly, and he didn't speak for a moment. Seeing this, Qingyou didn't know what he was planning, but she also wanted to help him, so she said: "The so-called bliss is a pure land, a place of happiness, and it is Mahayana. The upper realm of Buddhism. If you are insignificant and untalented, dare to ask the prime minister, if there are still people in the world who make you worry about or feel guilty for selfishness, then if you die at this moment, can you ascend to the so-called Paradise of Mahayana Buddhism?"

The hint in this sentence really worked. When Pei Xiangchu heard it, the teacup in his hand visibly shook, and then he hurriedly covered it up: "There is still a world of mortals in my heart, so it is naturally a rare bliss."

Seeing Ye Xu like this, the smile on the corner of his mouth became stronger and stronger. Seeing his behavior like this, Qingyou felt a sense of proportion, and saw that there was no servant waiting on the side, so she said in a leisurely and relaxed tone, "...Since that's the case The prime minister still cares about Miss Xiyue in his heart, so if you don’t mention the past, the prime minister’s mansion is flourishing today, how could it be your bliss?”

The sharp breaking sound exploded on the bluestone slab the moment she mentioned Dongfang Xiyue. After saying a word, Pei Xiang's face paled instantly, while Ye Xu was still smiling secretly, and Qingyou could even see it The corners of his eyes added a bit of complacency.
