   "The earth dragon in the study is broken?" Wen Ning widened her eyes in surprise, looking in disbelief at Pei You who was slowly buttoning her lapel.

  Last night, she had a few drinks with Duan Rushuang, and naturally went to bed early, and slept a little deeply.

   I didn't want to wake up and share the same bed with Pei You again, under the same quilt.

  She almost kicked him off.

   "It's the twelfth lunar month of winter, and there are no earthworms in the study room, so it's not suitable for people to live in." Pei You finished buttoning the button on his neck, and then buttoned his cuffs.

  Wen Ning still couldn't believe it.

  The earth dragons in this capital are found in the houses of some respectable people, and they are all repaired at the beginning of building the house. Wenfu's earth dragon has been used for so many years, and it didn't say which year it suddenly broke down.

  There are carved railings of jade trees outside the Duke’s mansion, so the earth dragon in the house can be said to be broken?

   "The Duke's Mansion was built at the beginning of the founding of the country." Pei You seemed to know the doubts in her heart, and said calmly, "Perhaps it has been in disrepair for a long time."

  This is also possible.

  The Duke’s Mansion is a hundred-year-old house, the exterior can be repaired and improved, but the things under the ground are not so easy to repair.

  Wen Ning sat on the bed startled, and before she could get up in the future, she pulled the quilt over her body: "What about the other rooms?"

   This Qinghui Hall also controls many wing rooms. He doesn't live in the study room, so he can go to other rooms.

   "Let Gu Fei try it last night." Pei You buckled her belt, her brows and eyes were light, her expression remained unchanged, "It hasn't been used for many years, it's all broken."

  Wen Ning's heart froze.

  Pei You raised his eyes and looked over: "What a coincidence, the one in your main house is still usable."

  Wen Ning: "..."

   "Then you can..." Live in another yard.

   Halfway through the conversation, Wen Ning stopped talking.

  Pei You has been creating a "wife-loving" persona for a long time, otherwise, how can she be used to block the knife at critical moments. It doesn't matter if Qinghui Hall is all his own people, if he is asked to live in another courtyard, he will definitely not agree.

   "Then can you light the stove?" Wen Ning turned.

  What is it to live here? And looking at the extra books in this room, did he move all the study rooms here and plan to live here for a long time?

"The stove has a peculiar smell, and it's not safe to use it in a room with many books." Pei You fastened his belt, put on the jade finger on his thumb, and looked up again, "If it's inconvenient, you go to live in the study? "

  Wen Ning: "..."

  That can’t be done, she is most afraid of the cold, if she goes to live in a room without earth dragons in winter, isn’t that just asking for guilt?

What's more, now this bedroom is not what she used to hate. She has spent all her time redecorating and remodeling it. It is said that the bedding on this bed is carefully selected by her and specially smoked. It is fragrant and soft. And lingering.

  She feels very comfortable here.

  Wen Ning snorted softly: "Then why don't we sleep separately?"

  In the same quilt, she was too close to him. Although she knew that he had no thoughts about her, he was a man after all... She also knew that he was a very normal man, so she always felt unsafe.

  Pei You put on his finger, rubbed it lightly, and raised his eyebrows: "I don't want to drink any weird soup again."

  Wen Ning's face turned hot, and she immediately understood what he was referring to.

  At this moment, Linglan came in with water, her face was jumping with joy, she caught a glimpse of Wen Ning's blushing, and she blushed too.

  Wen Ning: "..."

  Pei You didn't say anything else, rinsing his mouth, washing his face, cleaning his hands, the most common movements, when it came to him, they were always elegant and beautiful.

  Wen Ning frowned and stared at him for a long while, always feeling that he was playing some tricks again, but his face was calm, and his eyes were very dull, and he couldn't see any clues at all.

  She really couldn't think of any reason for him to live a quiet life except that the earth dragon was broken. However, he must come to join her in the room.

   That’s all, after the new year’s day, after the fifteenth day at the latest, someone will always come to repair the earth dragon.

  Wen Ning pulled up the quilt, and lay back on the bed.

  Pei You turned around before leaving the inner room and said, "Wen Ning, don't forget that there is a banquet in the palace tonight."

  Wen Ning sat up from the bed at once.

   Oops, she really forgot, completely forgot!

-

   Every year before the New Year, there will be a night banquet in the palace.

  According to Wen Ning's previous status, this is the time every year when she has the opportunity to enter the palace, sit far away, and look up at the sky with her neck up.

  So Wen Ning doesn't take it very seriously every year, she just dresses more luxuriously and goes to the palace for a meal.

It's really late this year when I came back from Jiangnan, not only Pei You, she has a lot of things to deal with here, after chatting with Duan Rushuang yesterday, she is full of thoughts to talk to He Luan, and go to the wine shop to have a look .

   So much so that he completely forgot about the New Year's Eve banquet in the palace.

  Reminded by Pei Youyi, Wen Ning got up quickly.

  In the past, she was just a little-known ordinary official girl, and no one paid attention to her at the banquet, but this year is different.

  She occupies the title of Mrs. Pei You Shizi, and this year is the first time she and Pei You have appeared in front of everyone since they got married, which must have attracted many people's attention.

  Although she no longer has to deliberately please Pei You for money, she still has the basic spirit of contract.

   On such an important occasion, she would not call Pei You and embarrass the government.

  Wen Ning got up and packed her clothes and jewelry.

  I’m in the south of the Yangtze River this winter, and the clothes I bought are all Jiangnan characteristics, so they shouldn’t be worn into the palace. Fortunately, the eldest princess made many new clothes for her when she got married, and several sets came from the inner court. It’s perfect for this kind of occasion.

  There are more choices of jewelry, luxurious, low-key, gold, pearl, gemstones, everything.

  After choosing the clothes and jewelry, Wen Ning went to look through the souvenirs she bought.

  This year is different from last year. Last year, the queen empress spoke up, intending to give unmarried men and women a chance to see each other, so men and women sat at the same table. This year should be the same as in previous years, with separate seats for men and women.

  Since she is a sub-seat, a newly-acquired female family member like her, who has only returned to Beijing not long ago, will probably be called up for questioning.

  When she came back from a long trip, she presented a gift when she asked questions, which made her appear generous and sensible.

   I just don’t know if the female guest who will take the top position this year will be the Empress.

  Choosing the clothes and jewelry she wore was quick, but it really took Wen Ning a lot of effort to choose the souvenirs presented.

   Firstly, I don’t know who will sit on the seat, and secondly, this is going to be presented to the people in the palace. It doesn’t need to be expensive, but it must be unique.

   It was nearing the afternoon before Wen Ning finally made a decision and chose a group of Kodan.

  In the palace, and even in the entire capital, Kou Dan is dominated by bright red. But Jiangnan women are delicate and pretty, and their fingernails are painted with different colors of Koudan according to different clothes, different seasons, and different moods.

   I think no matter who sits in the seat, as long as it is a woman, they will like it.

  After choosing the souvenir to present, Wen Ning was urged by Linglan to go to the mirror to do her makeup.

  Just after application time, Wen Ning finished her makeup, and Wang Qinsheng just entered the yard, saying that Pei You's carriage was already waiting outside the door. Wen Ning took a final look at herself, put Koudan away for Linglan, and hurried out.

   "Shouldn't there be any other moths this year?" On the carriage, Wen Ning shuddered remembering the experience of being pushed off Tai'an Lake last year.

  Thinking about it now, I don't know why Pei You jumped into the water to save Zhao Xizhi.

  Pei You's eyes moved away from the scroll, and swept over lightly: "Don't run around, naturally, no trouble will find you."

  She didn't run around last year.

  Wen Ning hugged Mrs. Tang in her arms, the carriage was leaking air and it was very cold.

  Pei You saw that she was about to curl up into a ball: "Sit here?"

  Wen Ning looked at the position beside him, he was indeed very warm, and he was tall enough to block most of the wind for her, but...

too close.

  Wen Ning pretended to take a sip of tea, and then asked, "Will Princess Showa be here today?"

  The last time she met Princess Zhaohe, she boasted a lot about Pei You, and then assured her that she had no unreasonable thoughts about Pei You, and she married into the Duke's mansion when she turned around...

   "Princess Zhaohe is not Zhao Xizhi, she won't embarrass you." Pei You looked back at the scroll and said softly.

  She wasn't worried that Princess Showa would embarrass her, but just felt...embarrassed.

   "If you feel uncomfortable staying, just come and find me then." Pei You said again.

   "Really?" Wen Ning suddenly became happy.

  Wouldn’t it be possible to see Daddy and have a few words with the eldest brother and the second brother?

  Pei You lightly raised his eyebrows: "After all, Prince Pei dotes on his wife too much. He even brought his bride with him when he went to the south of the Yangtze River. What's the point of taking a feast with him?"

  Wen Ning: "..."

   But, cough...

  Pei You's surly vigor is used in the right place, but it's... not so annoying.

  Wen Ning immediately felt relieved after hearing Pei You's words. It wasn't that she really planned to go to the men's banquet to find Pei You, but she suddenly realized that even if she did something wrong at the banquet, Pei You would be there to support her.

   This feeling is quite amazing.

   Husband and wife are one. In her previous life, when she and Pei You were a real couple, she never felt it. In this life, she has a faint understanding of what it means to be a fake couple.

   After half an hour, Wen Ning not only realized it faintly, but deeply felt that she and Pei You had long been closely related, and they were grasshoppers entangled in a rope.

  When the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, there were already many officials’ carriages parked outside the palace, and some officials got out of the carriage one after another, greeted each other, and entered the palace together.

  Wen Ning was supported by Pei You to get out of the car, and followed behind him properly. Seeing him bowing his hands and saluting, she bowed her head and bowed her knees, followed by a small salute.

  Everything went smoothly, only when I was about to enter the palace gate, I met an unexpected guest.

  King Rui was dressed quite solemnly today. He was wearing a golden court dress, and the majestic dragon patterns on his shoulders complemented his vigorous expression today.

  When he saw Pei You, his eyes lit up, as if he was looking for him specially.

  Pei You's face was usually calm and calm, and when he met him face to face, he only lightly bowed his hands and saluted.

  Wen Ning also bowed to him.

  It was only when she bent her knees that she heard King Rui's playful voice: "Is this the new wife that Mr. Pei will bring with him when he goes to Jiangnan?"

  He stepped forward slowly, without hiding the blade in his smiling eyes: "Mrs. Pei, I'm afraid you don't know. When you meet this king, you should prostrate on the ground and bow down?"
