MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 99 The body is quite soft, but the temper is hard
Chapter 99 The body is quite soft, but the temper is hard
Wen Ning suppressed her drowsiness, lowered her head, pursed her lips, and swallowed a yawn.
Never lose your manners in front of the princess.
But she swallowed the yawn, but the tears came out, and she had to wipe them away with her fingertips.
Ronghua was in the seat, and he could see the exhaustion of his daughter and daughter-in-law, especially Wen Ning, whose eyes were red and the tip of his nose was also red, and several layers of powder on his face could not cover the fatigue under his eyelids.
Thinking of Mammy’s report this morning...
Nonsense!
"Excuse me, Ah Ning has just entered the mansion, you should be considerate of her body." Rong Hua said dissatisfied, "Doctor Shi didn't tell you..."
Looking up at the people in the room, he stopped talking.
Wen Ning raised her eyes curiously, doctor? What did the doctor say?
"Forget it, you'll go to the study to sleep from today on." Rong Hua waved his hand in disgust.
Eh?
Is there such a good thing?
Wen Ning glanced at Princess Chang and Duke Pei.
Early this morning, she followed Pei You to serve tea to the two of them. Pei Guogong didn't say much, he seemed to have never been in charge, like a person who practiced outside the mundane world, and he was neither salty nor salty in his previous life.
The eldest princess' attitude surprised her.
He didn't keep a cold face and keep silent like in his previous life, and he didn't put on airs of the eldest princess. He treated her kindly, as if he liked her.
The relationship between Pei You and the eldest princess in this life seems to be much better than in the previous life.
But she asked Pei You to live in the study, or...
Cough.
Maybe there was too much trouble last night, worried about losing Pei You's body?
Wen Ning lowered her eyes and stared at Pei You indiscriminately.
Naturally, the two of them didn't sleep well last night.
He asked her where she learned so much, and she had an idea, saying that she learned it from the "Fengyue Chronicle".
But he still didn't let it go, saying that he had to pretend to be like it, and it was not enough to call water, he had to call something else.
Then actually pinched her waist.
The two almost had a fight on the bed.
In the end, I actually called for water, more than once.
In the summer, both of them sweated a lot after a lot of tossing, how can a basin of water clean up and refresh them.
Seeing that both of them were a bit tired, the eldest princess asked them to leave without saying much, and told them to tidy up before entering the palace.
Wen Ning returned to Qinghui Hall and put another layer of powder on her eyes, and changed her lips to a brighter color. She really looks much more energetic.
Just got into the carriage, she didn't want to talk to Pei You.
Pei You probably drank two cups of tea while he was waiting for her, and he was already in high spirits, as if he hadn't slept all night last night.
Seeing her turning her back to him and lifting the curtain to look outside, she sneered: "You were the one who provoked me last night, right?"
Wen Ning snorted lightly.
It was clear that he took away the quilt and curtains on the low couch first, and also frequently disturbed her waking dreams.
Pei You didn't mind, held the scroll in one hand, and laughed again: "The body is quite soft, but the temper is hard."
Wen Ning's small face blushed.
This person is still such a beast in clothes, yet he can hold a sage book and say such shameless words!
Last night, relying on his body advantage as a man, and having practiced martial arts, not only did he not show compassion, but he also did not back down. His waist was pinched, and...
Wen Ning bit her lip in anger.
Pei You was in a good mood, his eyes fell on the scroll without moving, and four words overflowed from his lips:
"Ask for trouble."
Wen Ning is going to blow up again, he did it on purpose! Regardless of her teasing him before, an eye for an eye, an eye for an eye.
"You plan to live like this from now on, right?" Wen Ning said angrily.
Pei You raised his eyebrows: "I don't care, do you think you can beat me or quarrel me?"
While speaking, he also looked Wen Ning up and down.
Wen Ning almost covered her chest.
She really...
In her previous life, Pei You had always hugged her and coaxed her. She never knew that this person was so vicious and tough when he opened his mouth.
If you stay with him like this for three years, wouldn't you be mad at him?
Wen Ningteng stood up and sat in the back of the carriage, out of sight, the farther away from him the better!
Pei You slowly put down the scroll in his hand, glanced at the person at the back of the car, his eyes drooping slightly.
"Madam is sitting so far away, it seems that I don't want this thing anymore."
Wen Ning raised her eyes when she heard the words, and saw that he was holding a waist card in his hand, light blue jade, with the word "Pei" engraved on it.
This is…
The token of the Duke's Mansion.
Wen Ning blinked. Pei You said before that she would not interfere with her after getting married. She can come and go freely, go out or do business as she pleases.
Isn't it the one who lied to her?
That's all.
After all, it's just these few days, and when Gui Ning comes back tomorrow, she will not interfere with him.
The eldest princess has said that he is going to sleep in the study tonight, and he will not be angry with her in the future.
Wen Ning moved towards Pei You.
"This token is carved from jade, and its texture is extremely brittle. If it is broken, there will be no second piece for you."
Knowing that Pei You did it on purpose, Wen Ning moved a little closer to him, then quickly reached out and took the token.
cough…
Reviving a new life, Wen Ning not only understands the importance of money, but also understands what it means to be a gentleman who understands current affairs.
What is she and Pei You angry about?
It would be better for him to oppose her everywhere. Could it be that he held her in the palm of his hand and built a cage for her like in his previous life?
Wen Ning put the token into the armhole, touched its cold texture, and instantly felt happy.
Freedom, what many women dream of.
"There are several sets of men's clothing that match your figure in Qinghui Hall. After a few days, you can enter and exit through the east door with this token." Pei You still looked at the scroll and said in a low voice.
Wen Ning was not only angry, but also felt that Pei You looked very pleasing to the eye at the moment, so she replied immediately: "Understood, thank you sir."
Pei You raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at the corners of her fluttering lips, lowered her eyelids, and said nothing more.
-
It is well known that Emperor Jiahe loves his son.
Last night, Emperor Jiahe did not come to the grand wedding of the eldest son, but in front of all the guests, he sent a steady stream of rewards, which is enough to show that he attaches great importance to the grand wedding of the eldest son.
Early in the morning of the second day, the palace made preparations for the prince and concubine to come to thank him.
Wen Ning couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive when she stepped into the palace gate. Counting her previous life, she had never had close contact with Emperor Jiahe.
However, she had some expectations. Rumor has it that Queen Xie Nanzhi is the largest family of Dayin, and it is rare for the Xie family to have one talented woman in a hundred years.
Same as Emperor Jiahe, she only had a few glimpses from a distance in her two lifetimes, and she didn't expect to have a chance to see the sky in this life.
It's just that when they finally met in Funing Hall, there was no queen beside Emperor Jiahe.
It is said that the empress suddenly felt unwell this morning, and she will be called to the palace alone in the future.
Wen Ning is actually a little strange.
It seems that since she was reborn last year, the Empress has never shown her face in front of everyone, and has always said that she is ill.
But it seems to be the same in the previous life?
The empress had been ill for a long time. In the seventeenth year of Jiahe, Emperor Jiahe decreed that she should be abolished because of her inappropriate speech. In the eighteenth year of Jiahe... died.
what a pity.
The queen was not there, so Wen Ning sat beside Pei You quietly from the beginning to the end without her being a female family member.
When he saluted, she saluted, and when he gave a long series of thanks, she stood beside her and pretended to be elegant.
Wen Tingchun often said that His Majesty is enthroned at a young age, with great prestige, and the emperor's mind is unfathomable, and his words are full of awe.
Ke Wen Ning looked at Emperor Jiahe, she was very kind and affectionate, she said "uncle" one by one, not putting on the airs of an emperor at all.
On the contrary, Pei You has always been respectful and respectful, with all the courtesy he should have, and even a little alienated.
Thinking about being spoiled for decades, legend has it that the empress, who was respected and loved by Emperor Jiahe, could be deposed for inappropriate words. No wonder Pei Youneng had the last laugh.
Look at his gesture.
If other people were so favored by Jiahe Emperor, and they were blood relatives with the Emperor, they would have been so proud that they couldn't find the north, and their tails would go up to the sky.
It was Pei You, who looked neither humble nor overbearing, and couldn't be more sober.
Going out of the palace, Wen Ning finally let go with a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt very sleepy. She thought she could go back to rest, but Pei You said that she would take her to a place.
"Where is it?" Wen Ning asked suspiciously.
Three days before the wedding, either seeing the parents-in-law or returning to the mother’s house, they are all close relatives.
Without waiting for Pei You to answer, Gu Fei suddenly stepped forward and cupped his hands: "My lord, I'm begging to see you in vain."
Pei You frowned slightly, Wen Ning looked up and saw Tu Bai in black standing not far away at the root of the imperial city.
"I'll wait for you in the carriage."
Wen Ning actually knew that Tu Bai usually reported to Pei You at night, and he was only on the second day of his wedding, and he was waiting here in broad daylight, presumably something important happened.
Sure enough, after a while, Gu Fei said that the son had something to go to the Ministry of Industry, and asked her to go back to the Duke's mansion first.
Wen Ning didn't think much about it. Pei You's rapid promotion was inseparable from his own ability and dedication to official affairs.
It's just that she couldn't rest when she returned to the Duke's Mansion. Cui Madam, who was beside the princess, brought a few stewards from the mansion to meet her, and even handed over Pei You's "family property" to her.
Wen Ning flipped through the thick book, and was so shocked that she lost sleepiness.
Omg!
Pei You is really... so rich!
No, the wife is rich!
No wonder he told her that it was ten thousand taels a year!
No wonder it is said that Emperor Jiahe dotes on Pei You. It turns out that not only is the promotion of the official position, but even the rewards are so generous.
Not to mention the gold and silver treasures, Emperor Jiahe actually rewarded Pei You with two mines.
One was rewarded when he just returned to the Duke's mansion, and the other was rewarded by this big wedding.
You must know that Dayin only has eight mines that can be developed so far, and the princes in the palace may not have one on hand, but they actually awarded two mines to Pei You!
Isn’t that the golden hen that keeps laying golden eggs…
Wen Ning regretted it so much, she shouldn't have drank his glass of wine!
Allow her to think about it and bargain for a while. Giving her 20,000 taels a year is nothing to Pei You at all!
Holding such a regret, Wen Ning didn't even eat dinner, and fell asleep on the bed beating her chest.
Even in his dreams, he was thinking about how to cheat more money from Pei You.
And when she was fighting wits and courage with Pei You in her dream, Gu Fei and Tu Bai stood guarding the entrance of the industry gate silently.
Seeing that the sky was white and the orange-red sun was about to break through the clouds, Pei You finally walked out from the Ministry of Industry.
"My lord, what's the matter? Is the situation still serious?" Tu Bai couldn't calm down more than Gu Fei, and he quickly walked to Pei You's side and asked in a low voice.
Pei You's brows were slightly dark, but she didn't answer.
"Tu Bai dereliction of duty, please punish me, my lord." Tu Bai knelt down on one knee.
Pei You gently raised his eyelids: "Get up. It has nothing to do with you."
Tubai frowned, and stood up reluctantly.
Gu Fei glanced at him, saw Pei You getting into the carriage, hurriedly followed and asked: "My lord, we are now..."
"Return to the government."
"Then today..."
"Business as usual."
Gu Fei nodded.
Today is the return day of the new lady.
