Chapter 202 Meeting Family

There was a fierce fight outside the carriage, the noise was deafening, but the atmosphere inside was quiet.

Pei Tingyue swallowed.

She also saw the scene outside just now.

It seems he was assassinated again.

But considering this person's confident attitude just now, it should be fine.

Since nothing happened, it was the perfect time to express my true feelings.

Pei Tingyue quickly seized this opportunity, with a fearless expression, "There are so many masked men outside, can we win?"

Without waiting for an answer, she continued, "No matter what, I will always be by your side. Even if I die, as long as I die by your side, I am willing."

Xie Chen lowered his eyes and looked.

The woman's hands, which were holding onto his collar, were trembling.

Obviously very scared.

Are you still willing to live and die with him if you are so scared?

Her heart has always been so hot.

Chun Shou wanted to die with him that time, and he wants to die with him now too. His mood has not changed at all.

Xie Chen closed his eyes, pinched her waist and hugged her, "We can win. Tingyue and I still have many days to go together."

Pei Tingyue clung to his shoulders and said, "No matter what, I am satisfied as long as I can be with the emperor."

Xie Chen's heart trembled, and heat surged in his chest, as if something was completely satisfied.

"good."

The two hugged each other for a while.

The sounds of fighting outside the carriage gradually died down, and finally Liang Yao's panting voice could be heard, "Your Majesty, everything has been dealt with."

Xie Chen responded, looked at the person in his arms, and asked softly, "Are you scared? Do you want to go back to the palace tonight?"

Pei Tingyue leaned on his shoulder and breathed heavily for a while.

After a long while, she muttered, "As long as the Emperor is with me, I am not afraid."

Xie Chen kissed her temple and asked softly, "Are you going back to the palace?"

Pei Tingyue thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, please tell me what the surprise is, and I will make the final decision."

Now there was nothing to hide, so Xie Chen told her, "I have taken your family to live in a mansion near the Jiangzhou Palace. They've been here for a few days, but I haven't had time to take you out these days. I'll take you out tonight to see you, and then let you formally visit your family another day."

Pei Tingyue's eyes widened: "Are father and mother here?"

"Yes. Not only your father and mother, but also your three brothers and their families are all here."

Pei Tingyue's breathing quickened, and she looked at Xie Chen with moist eyes: "I don't want to go back to the palace, I want to go see them."

Xie Chen naturally agreed with her: "Okay, let's go see him."

As soon as he finished speaking, he gave the order to go outside and continue forward.

Pei Tingyue was uneasy at first, and then became more and more impatient.

There was an ice cube in the carriage, but she broke out in a sweat.

Xie Chen took the handkerchief and wiped her: "Tingyue is so nervous."

Pei Tingyue's eyelashes trembled slightly: "It has been a long time since I last saw my parents."

In fact, she was nervous and looking forward to it.

She replaced the original owner. Will Pei's father and mother notice the clues? Will they continue as usual...

Love her?

Xie Chen comforted her: "We will see each other often in the future."

Pei Tingyue was puzzled: "Why did the emperor say that?"

Xie Chen's face was full of seriousness. "I intend to let the Pei family gain a foothold in Kyoto."

He will pave the way for her in the future bit by bit.

Pei Tingyue's heart moved.

It’s good to go to Kyoto.

This shows that the emperor intends to promote the Pei family.

With the support of her family, her future path will be much easier, and she is likely to reach a higher level.

If the Pei family was still a seventh-rank local official, the most she could have been in her life was a second-rank virtuous concubine.

The position of the first-rank imperial concubine would not be hers, no matter how favored she was, because of her low status.

In an instant, Pei Tingyue's mind was in turmoil.

However, she quickly put aside her chaotic thoughts and quietly looked forward to the meeting soon.

The carriage was moving quietly on the bluestone road.

Time seems to stretch infinitely.

Pei Tingyue was anxious and kept lifting the curtain to look around.

Xie Chen smiled at her for a while, and then she grabbed his big, bony hand and bit it at the base of his mouth.

Feeling the slight pain and itch, Xie Chen's eyes darkened.

"If you continue like this, we'll have no choice but to return to the palace."

Pei Tingyue's eyes widened. She was afraid of something unexpected, so she didn't dare to refute at all. She said obediently, "I was wrong. I won't make a fuss anymore."

Xie Chen touched her chin: "That's very good."

Pei Tingyue tilted her head in his palm: "Always been very good."

Xie Chen smiled.

He is very well behaved, but he can be very annoying at times.

As the two were laughing and joking, the carriage stopped.

Pei Tingyue's body immediately tensed up.

Seeing this, Xie Chen said, "I'll take you down."

Pei Tingyue shook her head: "I need to take it slow."

She closed her eyes, took a long breath, then went downstairs, lifting her skirt.

It's late at night.

The main gate of the mansion was wide open.

The streets and doorways were brightly lit, as if it were daytime.

At a glance, you can see all the scenes.

Therefore, when Pei Tingyue saw the Pei family standing in an orderly and extremely respectful manner at the main gate, his eyes were filled with tears.

She went there accompanied by Xie Chen.

The Pei family members lowered their heads and knelt together, including Pei's father and mother. "Your humble servants greet the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. I greet Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health."

Xie Chen spoke first, his voice very gentle: "Today, I am leading Concubine De out of the palace for a private visit. Lord Pei and Madam, there is no need to be polite. Please stand up."

Pei Tingyue's eyes were already red.

She stepped forward and first helped Pei's father up, "Father."

Father Pei was only in his forties, tall and thin, with a very energetic figure and a strong scholarly air. Now tears welled up in his eyes, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After hearing this, Pei Tingyue felt sad.

In her memory, Father Pei always called her by her nickname tenderly and lovingly. Now, holding hands and looking at each other with tears in their eyes, he could only call her "Empress Defei" out of courtesy.

Pei Tingyue held back her tears and helped her mother up again, "Mother."

Pei's mother is a typical graceful woman from the south of the Yangtze River, but her temperament is gentle and her appearance is not like that. Instead, she is sharp and beautiful.

Even though she is old now, her features and charm are still the same, and you can still see the unparalleled beauty of her youth.

Pei Tingyue's gorgeous and graceful appearance was inherited from her.

Mother Pei's eyes were filled with tears, and she said in a trembling voice, "My Lady, you have lost weight."

Listening to these words full of longing.

Pei Tingyue couldn't hold back her tears.

After fighting in the palace for so long, she was actually looking forward to such warmth in her heart.

She hugged Pei's mother and cried: "Mother."

Pei's mother was in tears and could not speak, she just caressed her back lovingly.

Next, Pei Tingyue hurriedly met her three brothers, three sisters-in-law, and her eldest nephew Pei Yu.

Pei Yu is the eldest son of her eldest brother and sister-in-law, and the only child of the Pei family. He is now more than two years old, with a delicate appearance, standing there in a decent manner. Seeing Pei Tingyue looking at him, he obediently called her "little aunt".

Pei Tingyue wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said with a smile, "What are you standing here for? Let's go into the mansion."
