The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister

  Chapter 170 Mr. Yi is back

  The snow in the capital city is used to stretching, and when it falls, the whole city is covered in silver, just like wearing a thick cotton coat.

  Wen Ning is afraid of the cold, so the Qinghui Hall was set on fire early on. It has been snowing outside for the past few days, but the warmth inside the house is oppressive.

   Seeing that there was no light outside, Pei You was about to go out, Wen Ning got up from the bed: "Wait a minute."

  She went to the closet blindfolded, and took out a pair of fur gloves and a fox fur scarf from it: "Bend down."

   Pei You looked at the way her eyes were not fully opened, slightly bent the corners of her lips, and bent down obediently.

  Wen Ning also stood on tiptoe to tie the scarf for him, muttering while tying it: "Young Master, you don't even have a scarf and gloves, so you don't know how you lived in the past winter."

   After tying it up, he put on gloves for him again: "I didn't expect the snow to come so early this year, so I did it a little hastily. Don't hold it against me."

  After wearing it, he rubbed his eyes: "Go ahead."

  Added another sentence: "The road is slippery in snowy weather, let Gu Fei's carriage drive slower."

   After finishing speaking, he planned to go back to bed and continue to sleep, but was pulled back by someone.

  Pei You's black eyes shone with tiny light, as if being engulfed by the warmth of the room, it was finally not as cold as before, grabbing the person in front of him was a kiss.

   Gentle and tender.

  Knowing that she still wants to sleep, he let her go after a short breath: "Go."

Not long after Wen Ning came out of the quilt, her face was already a little flushed, but now she looked even more pink, she blinked her watery eyes, and seeing Pei You turn around, she pulled back his arm, stood on tiptoe and stood again. He pecked his lips before running back to the bed with a smile.

   I don't know when it started, this day seems to be wrapped in honey.

  It was still snowing outside during the day, but after noon, Wen Ning finished her lunch, packed up and went out.

   Various things occupied her mind before, leaving her no time to care about others. It was only a few days ago that she suddenly realized that she hadn't seen Duan Rushuang for some days.

  According to the past, when she came back from Lingnan, Duan Rushuang would go to Wenfu to find her. But until she returned to the Duke's Mansion, Duan Rushuang didn't come to see her, and she didn't see her when she went to the pharmacy last time, but sent her a few letters to inform her about the recent operation of the winery.

  She felt something was wrong, and asked Linglan, only to find out that when she went to Lingnan, she asked Duan Rushuang to cover for her in Xiangti Garden, and Duan Rushuang was scolded by Wen Qi for causing her troubles.

"Girl, you know the temperament of the second son. He hides his sword in his smile on weekdays. He is not such an easy-going person. At that time, he was worried about you..." Linglan shook her head and sighed. I refused to ask someone from the house to send it off, so I left by myself."

   It's all because she is too slow, she didn't think about this before, now that she knows it, she can't just sit idly by.

  Today is not the official holiday, but she knew that Wen Qi had exchanged values ​​with others this month, and he had a rest today, so she invited him and Duan Rushuang to the teahouse at the same time, intending to be a peacemaker for them.

  Among the three, she is the most leisurely person, so she arrives at the teahouse first.

  Recently something happened in Beijing, and the teahouse was much more lively than Rang Ri.

   What was discussed was nothing more than the abolition of the empress by Emperor Jiahe.

In the morning five days ago, there was a lot of discussion on Chang'an Street, saying that Emperor Jiahe and the Empress had a big fight in Fengyi Palace in the middle of the night last night. After being unbearable to be a country, an imperial edict was issued to abolish the post.

   This shocked the people's jaws.

  Their empress is the most dignified and virtuous, a model of noble ladies, how much their majesty dotes on the empress! How could such an incident suddenly happen?

   Could it be that the empress has been ill in bed for the past two years, and her temperament has changed drastically?

   There are also discussions that among the few princes today, only the fourth prince Chu Heng can be counted on, but Chu Heng's mother family is weak, but Xie's family is powerful, and King Rui's accident has almost no impact on them.

   Did Emperor Jiahe intend to suppress the Xie family by suppressing the queen, thereby paving the way for the fourth prince to take power?

   "Hey, what a pity." Linglan sighed while pouring tea for Wen Ning.

  Last year at the New Year's Eve banquet, Wen Ning entered the palace and got a pair of sachets from the empress empress. When she came back, she caught Linglan and spoke well of the empress for a long time.

   "Last time, the girl forgot the fox fur in Fengyi Palace, and the empress asked someone to bring it back. She is the most unassuming empress. Girl, why do you think your majesty will abolish the empress?"

  Wen Ning also sighed silently, and closed the window of the wing room, so as to isolate the discussion downstairs.

  She also asked Pei You this question. At that time, Pei You was holding the scroll without raising her eyes: "I don't know."

   She doesn't know too well.

   It's just that Emperor Jiahe also abolished the empress in her previous life, so she was already mentally prepared. In this life, the time after Emperor Jiahe's abolishment, like many things before, has been advanced.

   "We can't spy on the affairs of the Tian family." Wen Ning held the teacup in her hands to warm her hands, and pushed Linglan, "Go and see if the second brother is here."

Wen Qi is resting today, so he is naturally free. Knowing that his sister is full of worries and secrets, he specially invited him to the teahouse this time. He only thought that she had something important to tell him, so it was better than an appointment. Arrived at the teahouse a little earlier.

  As soon as he entered the door, he saw Linglan coming downstairs. It seemed that she was here to visit him.

   "Second Young Master, this way please." Linglan called him over as soon as she saw someone.

  Wen Qi followed, and when he opened the door, he saw Wen Ning sitting cross-legged on a low couch making tea, resting her chin on the small stove in front of her.

  In the cold winter day, his face was very ruddy.

   "The face rounded twice again, it seems that life in the Duke's Mansion is much better than at home." Wen Qi laughed as soon as he entered the door.

  Wen Ning: "..."

   That's all, I still have business to talk about, so I don't bother to talk to him.

   "Second brother, come and sit down." Wen Ning patted the seat beside her, "The tea is just ready."

   "Since you're free, why don't you make an appointment earlier?" Seeing her waiting for a long time, Wen Qi took off his shoes and went to the low couch as he spoke.

  The low couch in this tea room is spacious, with seats on all sides. It can accommodate four people to make tea and chat together. Just take off your shoes and put them on one side when you get on the couch.

  Wen Ning took the teapot and poured tea for him: "Sister Rushuang still has some things to do at the winery, so she can't come so early."

  When Wen Qi heard Duan Rushuang's name, his face darkened, and his voice was also a little cold: "What did you call her for?"

  Wen Ning looked at his expression, not knowing what emotion he was in.

  If Qi Duan Rushuang pretended to be her and made her sneak out of Wen Mansion to Lingnan, it has been four or five months, are you still angry? This is too angry, more patient than Pei You!

  She didn't care about this, and before Duan Rushuang arrived, she asked directly: "Second brother, do you know the granddaughter of the Guozijianji Restaurant?"

  Wen Qi looked puzzled: "What Miss Sun?"

ha! This is not knowing!

  Wen Ning's heart relaxes, she has never even met in this life, so there is no problem of having a sweetheart.

   "Then tell me quickly, what's going on between you and sister Rushuang?" Wen Ning followed closely.

  Wen Qi frowned: "What can I do with her? Ah Ning, what happened to you today, did you take the wrong medicine?"

   "Are you and sister Rushuang all right?" Wen Ning didn't believe it, "Then you went to Ci'en Temple with her during the Lantern Festival, and went to Wanggui Mountain to play?"

  Wen Qi even felt that Wen Ning had taken the wrong medicine: "When did I go to Ci'en Temple with her, and went to Wanggui Mountain to play? I changed values ​​with my colleagues on the Shangyuan Festival, and I didn't even return home in the Ministry of War."

  Wen Ning gasped in surprise.

so it is…

  She suddenly thought that it was she who quarreled with Pei You and ran to the pharmacy to avoid him, Duan Rushuang said this, and she had to go back to the Duke's Mansion.

   Could it be that Duan Rushuang's exquisite heart saw her abnormality and said that on purpose?

   "Then..." Wen Ning stammered, "Then second brother... you, don't you like sister Rushuang?"

  What a wonderful sister Rushuang!

  Good brains, good temper, good looks, good at earning money, considerate, have ideas and assertiveness, Dayin couldn't find a better girl than her!

  Wen Qi suddenly put down the teacup in his hand heavily, showing displeasure on his face: "Ah Ning, you asked me out seriously, just to talk about such boring things?"

   "Why are you happy or not? Although you are married, you are a daughter's family after all. What does it look like to say these words?"

   "Miss Duan is your good friend, and I only treat her as a younger sister. Don't talk nonsense to ruin your reputation!"

   "Cough..." Linglan suddenly heard a deliberately raised dry cough from outside the house.

  Wen Ning's scalp went numb, and sure enough, she took a breath, Duan Rushuang pushed the door open and entered.

   It's been a long time since I saw her. She seems to have twitched a bit, she looks much taller, her whole face is as white as porcelain, and her eyes are rare and cold.

  She didn't look at Wen Qi, she came over and put a pack of dim sum on the tea table: "Sister Wen, I think you like Wanfangzhai's dim sum, and the dim sum with tea is just perfect."

   "It's been a long time since I saw you. I wanted to have tea and chat with my sister, but today I have a foreigner, so I won't stay here for a long time."

   Then he saluted Wen Qi indifferently: "Ru Shuang only treats the second son as an elder brother, but it's just that the man is unmarried and the woman is not married. It's a lot of inconvenience, Ru Shuang will not bother you."

   After finishing speaking, he turned and left without any change.

  Wen Ning almost stopped breathing, Duan Rushuang was usually limp, but when she was angry, she was quite aura!

   Turning to look at Wen Qi, he saw that his complexion was not good-looking, as if he was **** off.

  What are you mad about? Didn't you say it first? Just said it so loudly!

  Just as he was about to tug on his sleeve, reminding him to apologize, he had already got up with clenched fists, and hurriedly chased him out.

  Hey, this is called only being a younger sister?

  The shoes are all worn backwards, second brother!

  Wen Ning was in a good mood all of a sudden, she didn't succeed as a peacemaker, but it's not bad to be a troublemaker.

   Isn't her second brother a good brain? The girl you offended, please coax her back!

  The tea is ready and the cakes are ready, Wen Ning called out to Linglan, and the two of them sipped tea and snacks in the tea room leisurely, before slowly preparing to return home.

  While passing by Wanfangzhai, thinking that Pei You also likes to eat, he stopped the carriage and bought two more.

  After winter, it gets darker and earlier, Pei You has already moved the study from Wutong Lane back to the Duke's Mansion, and doesn't use the dinner there, and the time to return to the Duke's Mansion is getting earlier and earlier.

  The pastry was still hot in her hand, Wen Ning looked at the sky, guessing that today when Pei You came back, she could still have a bite of the fresh pastry that was still warm.

  She asked Linglan to urge the driver to hurry up, and it will be much warmer when she returns to Qinghuitang, and the cakes will not cool down so quickly.

  Today, I took the carriage of the Duke’s Mansion, and the wife was sitting in it. Naturally, the coachman didn’t dare to neglect, and the horse drove all the way to the gate of the Duke’s Mansion.

  Just at the door, there is still a carriage waiting today.

  Wen Ning saw it as soon as he got out of the car.

  The carriage was quite familiar, even the palace servant standing at the door of the carriage was quite familiar.

She was supported by Linglan, and she was still thinking about where this person had seen this car before, when that person saw her, he came over with a smile on his face and bowed: "Your servant has seen Madam! Madam, Princess Zhaohe prepared dinner , please enter the palace to tell my wife."

  Wen Ning just remembered.

  That's right, on the night of last year's dust-cleaning banquet, it was also this carriage and this palace official who said "Princess Showa, please welcome Wen's A Ning" at the gate of Wen's residence.

  As for Pei You, it was time for the Yamen to be on duty.

  The sky was getting a little dark, and when Gu Fei saw someone coming out, he went up to meet him as usual, but his footsteps were a little more impatient.

  When he reached Pei You's side, he whispered in a low voice: "My lord, you have brought Mr. Yi back in vain!"
