and son

Pei Jing withdrew from the bedroom, Li Xiuyi asked concerned: "Your Highness, how is sister-in-law?"

Pei Jing replied, "He's fine."

Li Xiuyi said in a deep voice: "My sister-in-law fell into the water just after marrying into the prince's mansion. This matter must be investigated carefully." After a pause, he rolled up his sleeves, showing a clever expression, and said: "It's just to use this matter to call Sister-in-law understands His Highness's intentions, and she must be moved to agree with her."

Pei Jing laughed and said: "I'm afraid it will be self-defeating."

Li Xiuyi opened his mouth wide: "Ah, why?"

Pei Jing looked away at the snowy tree in the courtyard. It was so pure and white that there was no trace of variegation. There were icy ridges hanging down. A bird flapped its wings and landed, shaking the snow off the tree and spilling it all over the ground. Handan.

"He planned this matter with one hand. If I punished his people, wouldn't he blame me instead?"

"He has a lot of defenses against me, let him alone."

Li Xiuyi's brain froze, and it took him a long time to react, and his words were poor and short: "This is really..."

It was the first time I saw a woman rejecting Pei Jing so thoroughly, she did not hesitate to use scheming and means.

Looking at Pei Jing's handsome side face covered with snow, without any displeasure, Li Xiuyi smiled again: "Your Highness, are you having a lot of fun fighting with your wife?"

Pei Jing turned her eyes, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up: "The joy of the boudoir is not enough for outsiders."

How could Li Xiu Yi dare to speak out to outsiders, but he couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, do you like the Crown Princess?"

Pei Jing stood with her hands behind her back and remained silent for a long time.

Li Xiu Yi understood, and felt deeply sorry: "It's Xiu Yi who asked too much."

Pei Jingkuan said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether the two countries are married or not. If we can maintain the peace of Dasui and Dachu for a hundred years, I will stick to my wish. I just want to respect each other as guests, raise my eyebrows together, and share the same coffin after death. It's a waste of a couple."

Li Xiuyi respectfully said, "Your Highness is righteous."

Pei Jing was noncommittal, not to mention righteousness, but it was unavoidable because of the responsibility.

Since he is married to Meng Chuji, he shouldn't think about anything, and just treat him well.

Li Xiuyi left the Prince's Mansion, Pei Jing ordered people to move his things out of the bedroom and move them to the study, leaving space for Meng Chuji.

If Meng Chuji was asked to move, the servants would not be able to spread any gossip, whether there was a rift between the husband and wife, and there were many disagreements, which would only increase worries.

Meng Chuji didn't expect Pei Jing to be so agile and extremely satisfied. If it wasn't for fear of being suspicious, he would have asked everyone to set up a table to celebrate.

It was impossible to celebrate, so Meng Chuji could only close the door, take a few sips from the flagon, patted Ah Fu on the shoulder and asked, "Master, am I smart?"

"Smart and smart."

"Master, am I wise?"

"Wise and wise."

"Master, am I resourceful?"

"Be resourceful."

……

Meng Chuji jumped down from the table, picked the flowers from Ah Fu's ear temples, and walked around in front of him with the flowers in his hands, saying: "Ah Fu, our good days are coming, when he goes to Xiumu, he will be so busy, Let's do whatever we want."

He shrugged his brows, his expression looking listless.

Ah Fu smirked: "Then what are we doing, young master?"

Meng Chuji sat leaning on the table and shook his legs: "Eat all the delicious food of King Sui, and play all the fun, and it's best to make friends with two handsome people. Wouldn't it be nice to drink and gamble together?"

Ah Fu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Then you must take me with you, young master."

"Of course." Meng Chuji inserted the silk flowers back into his ears, "I'm sure I'll take you with me, and I'm pointing at you to watch out for me."

Ah Fu rubbed his hands, wishing that this day would come tomorrow.

Strange to say, it was probably because Pei Jing was really afraid that his illness would overwhelm him, so he didn't show up for the next three days.

Meng Chuji asked Ah Fu to get a set of Pai Gow, and invited Dr. Liu to play together. At first, Dr. Liu was not willing, but after Meng Chuji tried to lure him, he became addicted within two rounds.

But Dr. Liu's skills are extremely bad. He lost seven of the ten rounds, and Meng Chuji and A Fu let him win the other three rounds because they were afraid that he would lose too much. Very happy and at ease.

On the fourth day, Pei Jing still didn't come, but Shangguan Ting did.

Shangguan Ting was banned by Pei Jing and was not allowed to enter the Prince's Mansion, so she sent a servant money to send a message to Meng Chuji, asking him to come out to meet her.

Doctor Liu was about to win the card, and he stared at Meng Chuji with wry eyes, hoping that he would not leave halfway. Meng Chuji glanced at the bad cards in his hand, and said with a smile: "Next time, next time, the princess will wait a little longer." not good."

Doctor Liu had no choice but reluctantly pushed the card away.

Meng Chuji took a look, hey, it's a big bar, it's a good thing he didn't agree to continue beating, otherwise he would lose all his beans in one blow.

Meng Chuji patted the stupid Ah Fu who was still looking at the cards, and said: "Quick, don't look, hurry up and get the clothes for the young master, the young master, I'm going to see my dear little cousin Ting'er."

"oh oh."

Before getting up, Ah Fu didn't forget to grab a handful of beans, stuffed them into his mouth, and brought Meng Chuji beautiful clothes.

The snow had stopped today and the sun had not yet risen, but it was not too cold. Shangguan Ting didn't even wear a snow fur.

Behind her was a young girl with a round face, who looked only fourteen or five years old, and said very unsteadily: "Princess, why hasn't the princess come out? She didn't mean to leave you alone, did she? "

Shangguan Ting reprimanded: "Shut up."

As soon as the words were finished, the man full of gold hairpins came out of the prince's mansion quickly.

"cousin."

The hoarse but somewhat charming voice was yelling eagerly.

Shangguan Ting immediately greeted her happily: "Biao sister-in-law."

Meng Chuji walked in a hurry, his eyes fell on the jade hand she stretched out, and he stopped abruptly one step away from her, and said with a smile: "Cousin, are you here to find me?"

A strange look flashed across Shangguan Ting's eyes, and then she pretended not to notice anything and said: "It's rare that it doesn't snow today, so I specially invited my cousin to go fishing in the river, put a pot on the bow of the boat to cook soup, and warm the fire to cook wine, why not?" Not comfortable?"

Meng Chuji was very interested when he heard the words: "Oh, is there such a way of pastime?"

This is really strange.

People in Dachu do not go out in winter, but stay at home to keep warm.

"My cousin doesn't know. This is the custom of Dasui. There are many boats on the river today."

"Then let's go."

Meng Chuji couldn't wait to experience the feeling of rivers and lakes in winter.

He walked away, but Shangguan Ting grabbed Meng Chuji's sleeve.

"Wait a minute, cousin."

"Ok?"

Shangguan Ting glanced at the Prince's mansion, "Don't you want to ask the prince's cousin to come with you?"

Meng Chuji was speechless for a moment.

Want to call Pei Jing?

With Pei Jing here, why did he let go of his play?

After thinking left and right, Meng Chuji could only reluctantly give up such a good thing, coughed a few times, and pretended to be weak: "I suddenly remembered that I was still sick, why don't you go with His Royal Highness, I will go back and lie down now. on."

"Cousin, don't get me wrong. Ting'er just mentioned it casually. I think my cousin is busy, so let's not bother him."

Shangguan Ting grabbed Meng Chuji's sleeve and refused to let go

Meng Chuji raised his eyebrows: "You really don't want to take him?"

Shangguan Ting nodded obediently.

Meng Chuji smiled happily: "Okay, then let's go!"

While striding forward, he beckoned Ah Fu to follow.

Seeing Meng Chuji swaggering away, Shangguan Ting's eyes darkened, and she followed closely.

This is the first time Meng Chuji has seen the scenery of the Dasui King's Capital. Even in this winter, it is still prosperous. There are rows of shops, among which wine shops are the most open. There are square tables outside the restaurants surrounded by people everywhere. Those who drank wine and ate peanuts chatted, followed by the fish sellers. The lively big fish were placed on the side of the road in red basins, and the fishmongers hawked them, but the fish heads were the most expensive.

I don't know what kind of custom it is to eat fish in winter. Da Chu always eats fish in autumn, and when winter comes, he changes to mutton.

The river that Shangguanting wanted to take him to swim was not far from the Prince's Mansion, and it took less than two quarters of an hour to get there by carriage. There were indeed several boats on the river, not as many as imagined, but more artistic.

As soon as they reached the shore, there was a boat rowing over. Meng Chuji looked from a distance and found that there was another person in the canopy of the boat. When he looked closely, he was actually the sister of Pei Jing's mother, the fourth princess, Gillian.

Seeing Meng Chuji, A-Jiao's pretty face collapsed, and she said unhappily, "Cousin, why did you bring him here too? It's such a disappointment."

Meng Chuji looked at Gillian squarely, and it was pleasing to see a beauty get angry. I have to say that Pei Jing's younger sister and cousin are all very good-looking, and they didn't mind her talking badly at all, so they deliberately teased her: "I didn't come here at first. I changed my mind when Ajiao's little sister was here, sister-in-law likes you so much, how can you hurt sister-in-law's heart?"

A-Jiao's almond eyes widened, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Probably haven't been confessed by a woman before, so I'm angry and ashamed.

After seeing the teasing play on the corner of Meng Chuji's mouth, she said angrily: "Whoever wants your likes, I don't care if you like them."

Meng Chuji was still not angry, and asked: "Why?"

Gillian twisted the handkerchief viciously: "Because he is too ugly, the prince and brother are so handsome, you are not worthy of him at all."

"You like your prince and brother so much?"

"Of course!"

Meng Chuji tutted his head and shook his head: "Unfortunately, he is mine."

A-Jiao was about to go mad with anger, she almost tore the handkerchief, stepped on the bow of the boat and wanted to go ashore and strangle the scourge Meng Chuji to death.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Shangguan Ting hurriedly stopped her, smoothed things over and said: "Yu Xiao, the boat is not stable, please slow down, it is a foregone conclusion that my cousin will marry my cousin, no matter how angry you are, it is useless, it is better to get along with each other in harmony."

Gillian didn't listen to the persuasion, but Meng Chuji stepped onto the boat steadily, patted the head of Gillian, who was becoming a puffer fish, and said: "The face is easy to grow old, the youth is gone, sincerity is more important than anything else, little girl, You have to understand this."

Then, Shi Ran got into the boat canopy.

Gillian suddenly calmed down, and asked unconvinced: "Then are you sincere to my prince and brother?"

Meng Chuji's lazy voice came from the boat tent: "No."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh, you bad woman..."

In the end, the three of them stared at the bow of the boat, and the boatman rowed slowly towards the center of the river with a penny on his pole.
