The Queen Mother usually eats fast and chants Buddha's name, but she is not a compassionate and kind person. She spends extravagantly on food and clothing. One meal is enough for her to last three days, and some dishes are thrown away without even touching them.

She loved the excitement and heard that people would be called to the temple to talk every day, but she never came to see her.

Bai Yan frowned in confusion. When she entered, she found that the Dog Emperor was also there, which made her even more uncomfortable.

"Fu'er is here, sit down quickly," the Queen Mother saw her coming in and held her hand enthusiastically.

"Mother," Bai Yan put on a dignified smile and sat next to her.

"The Ai family came to you today to talk about the sacrificial ceremony," the Queen Mother sighed, "The lottery I asked for in the past was not good, and it would easily cause panic. Fortunately, after Fu'er came, last year the lottery was successful. This year

You have to be careful, Fu'er, to make sure nothing goes wrong. God will bless Dong Qi."

"Yes, I will obey my mother's teachings and I will not disappoint my mother."

"Good boy".

The Queen Mother patted her hand, but her eyes were not very gentle. She was not pregnant for such a long time after entering the palace, and even contradicted the emperor many times. If the lottery she asked for last year had not been successful, the priest said that she was a lucky person.

, she must support another queen again.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother shook her head and sighed, "Fuer, please go back and take a rest."

"Yes, the queen also pays attention to her health."

The moment she walked out of the hall, Bai Yan put away her stiff smile and rubbed her face.

She roughly knew what kind of event this was. Every year, the priest would ask for a lot. If the lot was chosen, it would prove that God was willing to bless her. The year would be smooth and prosperous. If the lot was chosen, it would be the opposite.

Dong Qi has been asking for lots for many years. As a modern person, Bai Yan felt for the first time that God really has a vision. He has been asking for lots for several years in a row.

But why did Erfu ask for a signature last year? Was she so moved?

She asked Xiaocui, but Xiaocui couldn't explain, "I don't know, either. It's just that you originally drew the lot when you poured it out that day. It's not surprising that you draw the lot every year. But Mr. Pei said that if you start over, the priest

It was also said that he walked in the wrong direction. It was supposed to go around in a circle from north to south, but the slave seemed to have gone the wrong way. What came out again was the sign. Since then, some people have said that you are the place where Dong Qi's fortune is, and you live there.

There is some kind of star in the middle of Zhaohua Hall. It’s really scary to say, but fortunately, for the sake of asking for your signature, the Queen Mother didn’t bother us, so she was polite to us.”

Pei Lin, Pei Lin again, always Pei Lin. Bai Yan had no doubt that it was Pei Lin who had done something wrong. She had always been curious about why he helped Erfu.

Erfu had just entered the palace last year. It was impossible for someone like Pei Lin to be interested in her so quickly. She must ask clearly when she had the opportunity.

Xiaocui poured her a cup of hot water and asked, "Is your Majesty still going there today?"

"Go, why don't you go."

"Your Majesty, won't you kneel down? There will be a sacrificial ceremony the day after tomorrow?"

Bai Yan groaned, "Why are you kneeling?"

"Don't you remember? You have to kneel for four hours during the sacrificial ceremony. You are afraid that you won't be able to hold on, so you will practice in advance."

Bai Yan whined and rubbed her temples. Why didn't she remember this? Erfu must have done his duty very well, "I'll go first and kneel down when I come back."

Xiaocui couldn't stop her and could only let her pass.

Bai Yan walked into his bedroom and saw the same scene as yesterday. She smiled and asked, "Where did Mr. Pei find the person today?"

Seeing her come in, Pei Lin put down the book in his hand. The little queen was quite on time. He raised his eyebrows and said casually, "In prison."

Bai Yan wrinkled her nose and said, "Go down. Mr. Pei, just let those children go from now on. Don't let me choose among those on death row."

She consciously walked closer to him, and he was leaning on the sofa, shorter than her. She lowered her head and kissed the corner of his lips, and Pei Lin turned his head to capture her lips and kissed her.

Bai Yan's face burned with heat, and she felt that she and Pei Lin could write a book of hundreds of ways to kiss.

Pei Lin used his thumb to wipe away the lipstick from the corners of her lips. Every time he kissed him, his eyes would become gentler. Bai Yan liked to see his dark eyes taking on a human warmth.

She sat on the edge of the couch and waited obediently for him to wipe off her lip grease little by little.

"I'm going back, but I have other things to do."

"Your Majesty, are you going to kneel to the Buddha statue again?" Pei Lin smiled and straightened up.

Bai Yan was stunned, "How did Mr. Pei know?"

Realizing that he had made a mistake, Pei Lin put away the smile on his face and did not answer her question. He was not a person who just opened his mouth. He blurted out the words just now almost subconsciously, with the intention of teasing her.

Bai Yan bit her lip and thought, he really cared about Erfu, why. If she asked him now, he would definitely not tell the truth, so she endured it again, "The Buddhist hall is cold and cold, I don't want to kneel there, you can kneel in Pei

Is this my lord?"

"Your Majesty, you are not awake?" Pei Lin flicked her forehead, "Kneel down and go to the palace."

"No, it would be weird to kneel in your own bedroom."

Bai Yan curled her lips, found a thin cushion from the pillow, threw it on the ground, and knelt on it with a plop.

Pei Lin clicked his tongue, sighed helplessly, and turned away. Kneel down, what else can you do?

Bai Yan found that kneeling was not as difficult as she thought, and it was quite comfortable. She sat on her feet and heard Pei Lin say, "Straight up."

"Oh", she straightened her back obediently, "When did Mr. Pei enter the palace?"

Anyway, it was time to have some free time, let's chat, she planned to take the opportunity to find out his secret.

Almost no one knows about Pei Lin's past, and no one knows how he came to be in this position. It seems that he woke up overnight and became a powerful person.

"12 years old."

"Why did you enter the palace?"

"Then when Lord Pei entered the palace, was he the current His Majesty?"

"The late emperor."

"What kind of person was the late emperor?"

"It's almost the same as His Majesty."

"Did you enter the palace voluntarily?"

He answered what he could say, and didn't answer what he didn't want to say. He gave random answers, and even after asking Bai Yan's questions, he didn't get any valuable answers.

She didn't know how long she had been kneeling. Her waist hurt and her knees hurt. No wonder people who were punished to kneel in TV dramas would faint soon after.

The two of them had nothing to say. The silence in the room made her drowsy, and she was about to fall asleep little by little.

Bai Yan kept talking to herself to stay awake and not sleep, but her upper eyelids and lower eyelids were fighting. She closed her eyes unconsciously, her head fell down, and she was suddenly caught by someone.

She rubbed her eyes in confusion, and it took her a long time to realize that her head was in his hand.

"My queen, please don't be sleepy in the future." Pei Lin pinched her little face with a smile. The fleshy texture felt good, so he couldn't help but pinch her a few more times.

"How long?" She couldn't hold on any longer. She really didn't know how Erfu did it.

"Less than two hours."

"Oh, Mr. Pei, please don't pinch me," Bai Yan said softly and slapped his hand away.

What is she going to do the day after tomorrow? Help me. Kneeling for four hours is not as good as letting her run over to death.

Pei Lin smiled and stood up, "Mother, why don't you think about what to eat for dinner? I will be vegetarian tomorrow."

"Ah!" Bai Yan woke up immediately. She had to eat more, "Braised pork! Pork knuckle! Barbecued pork!"

Her knees were numb and she couldn't stand up, so she raised her arms toward him pitifully.

The little queen now treated him as a servant. Pei Lin raised his head with a dissatisfied tsk and said, "Mother, please come back."

"Isn't it time for dinner?"

"Is there a shortage of food and drink in the palace?"

"Master Pei is too stingy, let's go together."

"No," Pei Lin turned her head towards the door and gently pushed her shoulder, "Mom, go back quickly."

Bai Yan had been kneeling all afternoon, her legs and feet were not flexible. He suddenly pushed her, and she didn't react for a moment. She stumbled forward a few steps and sat down on the ground.

Pei Lin suddenly frowned, he didn't use any force.

Bai Yan was also confused, why did he take advantage of it?

"Master Pei pushed me."

Pei Lin pinched his eyebrows, took a step forward and squatted down. The little queen curled her lips and burst into tears, as if she had been greatly wronged, "I didn't mean it."

Feeling that he was coaxing her, Bai Yan became even more excited, twitching and refusing to get up.

Pei Lin closed his eyes in annoyance, "I'm crying, so I'll lock you up."

Bai Yan stopped crying immediately. Now she still didn't dare to lose her temper with him, and she didn't know where his bottom line was, so she decided to test him. His patience probably ended here, so she wiped away her tears and decided to be good.

Seeing that she immediately became quiet, Pei Lin began to consider whether he was exaggerating. He reached out and picked her up from the ground, "Stay for dinner and let Wang Lai arrange it."

When Bai Yan heard this, her big eyes lit up again, fearing that he would regret it and nodded quickly.

When a table of delicious food arrived, she wowed and couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks to taste it. The braised pork was so delicious, it melted in your mouth, was soft, glutinous, sweet and salty, it was really a masterpiece.

Pei Lin really knows how to enjoy things, and all the cooks in the palace are so good. Although hers is not bad, there is still a gap between hers and his.

This barbecued pork is also delicious, just like the ones sold in Hong Kong-style tea restaurants. Bai Yan happily shook her head and smiled with satisfaction, this must be heaven.

Pei Lin has a light taste and doesn't like these greasy meats. He didn't move his chopsticks and looked sideways at her stuffing them into her mouth with a happy face.

"Master Pei, don't you want to eat?"

"Your Majesty, eat it by yourself, maybe this will be your last meal."

"Sir, you are scaring me again."

Bai Yan picked up a piece of barbecued pork, raised her chopsticks and approached him, "Try it, it's delicious. The chef in Master Pei's palace is the best."

Pei Lin stared at her, took her hand and put it into his mouth. He was a person with little appetite and could not taste the delicious food she said. In his eyes, food was just food to satisfy his hunger.

Bai Yan was stunned for a moment, then took back her hand and whispered, "These are my chopsticks."

"I don't dislike your empress," Pei Lin wiped the corners of his lips and said calmly.

Tsk, it’s me who dislikes you. You’re short-tongued, so Bai Yan could only retort fiercely in her heart.

After eating and drinking, Bai Yan touched her bulging belly and yawned with satisfaction, "Let's go. Goodbye, Mr. Pei."

Seeing her go out without looking back, Pei Lin sighed, what a heartless little thing.
