Mountain People

Just when Pei Zhongxin was about to wait, a group of palace servants came out carrying Qian Shi and Liu Yueshao.

Pei Zhongxin was stunned for a moment, thinking that Qian Shi and Liu Yueshao suffered the same sting, and he was horrified. Palace people, hurriedly drove the carriage away from this place of right and wrong.

When the carriage was far away, Pei Zhongxin asked Liu Yueshao with a white face, "Is Madam punished by the emperor and the empress?"

Liu Yueshao rolled her eyes, but a trace of embarrassment flashed on her face, as if she had something to hide. Seeing Pei Zhongxin's anxiety, she said: "Master, the emperor and the empress didn't punish us, I just asked the reason, madam, this is... this is because of fear, and I was so frightened that I fainted."

"Huh?" Pei Zhongxin was stunned for a moment, and his mind was a little bit hard to turn around. After a while, he took a serious look at Qian, and found that her face was ruddy and her breathing was even, and there was really no problem at all.

Zhongxin Pei's face turned gloomy immediately, Qian Shi was his original wife anyway, Liu Yueshao was his concubine, the original wife brought her concubine into the palace, but she was even less courageous than the concubine, He fainted in front of the Empress. This was a misdemeanor, but fortunately the Emperor and Empress didn't blame him.

Liu Yueshao saw Pei Zhongxin's face, the corners of her mouth twitched, with a slight smile, and reassured: "Master, don't be angry, the emperor and the empress just asked what happened to the concubine yesterday. When I saw that the concubine had a good attitude in admitting her mistake, she was punished with a cane, and she specially rewarded the concubine with a gold inlaid jade head and face to appease her.

The concubine not only was not wronged in the palace, but also said a lot of good things for the master, but the empress said that Mrs. Wuning Hou is her sister, just an ordinary peasant family, with my Liu family It doesn't matter.

Although we all know what the truth is, the empress has already said so and she doesn't want us to mention it again. At that time, the concubine was afraid and did not dare to disobey the wishes of the emperor and the empress, so she agreed. Lord! Did the concubine do something wrong? "

Pei Zhongxin couldn't digest all the news all of a sudden. He was really excited when he heard that Liu Yueshao received the Queen's reward and spoke for him in front of the Empress. How can Liu Yueshao and Mrs. Wu Ninghou not recognize each other later! They also pointed to the distance between the two families by relying on this relationship.

Pei Zhongxin wanted to say something, looked at Liu Yueshao's innocent and pitiful eyes, and then looked aside at Qian Shi, who was sleeping soundly, and his mind was awake. If it wasn't for Liu Yueshao today If he can bear it, just relying on Qian Shi's death-like appearance, I'm afraid that there will be no such good results as now.

Thinking of this, Zhongxin Pei explained it for Liu Yueshao, thinking that she was forced to do nothing, so she obeyed the empress's wishes.

Pei Zhongxin said with pain: "Since it was the Queen who said it, you can't agree, don't worry, I won't blame you, since we can't talk about this in the future, then let's Just at the time of the boxing ceremony, I will send something in your name, no matter if Mrs. Wuninghou accepts it or not, we will do all the etiquette. I believe that the long-lasting flow will always impress Mrs. Wuninghou."

Liu Yueshao heard the words, lowered her eyes, and responded obediently, but she disapproved. Saying such naive words, that's all, now there is a guarantee from the queen that she can get everything she wants as long as she alienates the forces within the Pei family. This method is much more reliable than cursing Liu Yueyi, and she doesn't need to be in front of Liu Yueyi. Humiliated, lost dignity.

Thinking of this, Liu Yueshao said with a curious look: "Master, I heard from the guards in the palace today that the emperor seems to be recruiting the imperial army again, do you want to go this time? "

Liu Yueshao did not answer directly, but said: "Because Princess Qingcheng's concubine is the captain of the Royal Forest Army, and he is the prince of Changlin Hou Shi, he has entered the Royal Forest Army, and the concubine thinks that the Royal Forest Army is very Awesome, isn't it?"

Pei Zhongxin was stunned for a moment, only to realize that Liu Yueshao was just a woman, and he didn't understand this, so he smiled and said: "The Royal Forest Army is the emperor's personal guard, not everyone can enter, the Royal Forest Army commander Dong San is the emperor's confidant, and Zhonghe and Zhongren also wanted to join in the past, but unfortunately they were not selected."

Liu Yueshao heard a hint of disappointment in Pei Zhongxin's tone, pretended not to know, and asked suspiciously: "But why did the uncle of the second room and the uncle of the third room enter? Could it be our house? Can't the second and third masters compare to them?"

Speaking of this, Pei Zhongxin was also very confused. He knew that the emperor had been guarding their Pei family, but why did the eldest sons of the second and third rooms enter the Royal Forest Army, but they were the only ones from the big room don't charge?

Liu Yueshao saw Pei Zhongxin meditating, so she didn't bother much, and muttered to herself: "A while ago, I heard from the concubine next to the second master that the second master often lingers in the fireworks place, and he had previously A card girl and the eldest son of the founding marquis have a big fight, sir, our big house is like walking on thin ice, and the second master is still making trouble outside, it is really not a good deed!"

Pei Zhongxin suddenly felt a little shaken when he heard the words, because he knew all the things Liu Yueshao said and understood that Liu Yueshao did not tell lies, but it was because of this that his mind was complicated and tangled .

The two did not speak any more, the carriage entered Dingguo Gongfu leisurely, and Pei Zhongxin took Liu Yueshao carefully and got off the carriage, without even looking at Qian Shi, the servant saw his heart Feeling apprehensive, he quickly took care of the staff and sent Qian Shi back to his yard.

Pei Zhongxin sent Liu Yueshao back to the yard, and immediately went to Pei Dongqi's study to report.

"How do you say?" Pei Dongqi asked casually, with a natural expression and not too worried.

Seeing this, Pei Zhongxin couldn't help but admire Pei Dongqi's concentration, thinking of what Liu Yueshao said just now, he replied: "Father, the emperor and the empress just asked them something, only However, Qian's woman actually frightened herself in Mingxiu Palace, and she was stunned for life, and it was all up to Concubine Yue to deal with it cleverly. Otherwise, I don't know if the emperor and the queen would have a better impression of our family because of Qian's stupid woman. Difference."

Pei Dongqi looked at Pei Zhongxin in surprise, "You mean that Qian's woman fainted in Mingxiu Palace, and Concubine Yue dealt with the empress by herself?"

Pei Zhongxin nodded affirmatively, for fear that Pei Dongqi would not believe it, and even said that the empress had given Liu Yueshao a gold inlaid jade head and face, "Although there is a certain reason here that the empress does not I hope Concubine Yue will bring up Madam Wu Ninghou's life experience again, but if Concubine Yue doesn't deal with it wisely, the Empress will definitely not reward her."

Pei Dongqi nodded, he also accepted this statement.
