Chapter 16 Ahhh. Why don’t you let your husband kiss you?

Pei Ji walked towards He Zhiliao as if no one was around.

The queen, surrounded by the crowd, looked increasingly unhappy. She didn't like the Pei family, and even less so Pei Ji. But this man always did many unruly things!

Every time she saw it, she felt upset!

The seventh prince's eyes lit up, and he wanted to walk towards him immediately, but when he saw Pei Ji walking towards the smelly mute, he stood there indignantly.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Pei Ji held his hand and comforted him softly, "When I'm here, no one can bully you."

His palms were extremely cold, and his fingertips were still trembling slightly, which showed how scared he was.

If I had known that so many people were watching and wanted to make him suffer, I would have better not allowed him to come. He could have stayed at Pei Mansion and not have to worry here.

Seeing this, Qin Yurong sighed slightly. She walked towards the Queen, bowed low and said, "It is all because of my poor parenting that he did such an unruly thing. Please punish him, Your Majesty."

Punishment?

Pei Ji deserves to be punished.

But He Zhiluo was bumped into by a palace maid from her Fengwu Palace. Her husband came to pay his respects and support her. How could she punish her? At most, she would just give her a few verbal scoldings. It didn't hurt Pei Ji at all, so he didn't take it to heart.

Naturally, she couldn't treat Pei Ji the same way she treated the mute before. She knew clearly whether she could afford to provoke him or not.

"Hurry up and get up. How could I not know what kind of character the Fourth Young Master has? Besides, it was the maid in my palace who was at fault in this matter. There is no need for you to admit your mistake." The Queen personally helped Qin Yurong up.

Even though she is the queen, the Pei family is in a high position and she cannot offend them easily, otherwise it will be of no benefit to Your Majesty's previous dynasty.

Qin Yurong stood up and thanked the queen, then turned to look at Pei Ji and winked at him.

Pei Ji took He Zhiliao a few steps forward and said, "I'm sorry for being rude, Your Majesty. I hope the Queen will not blame me. I'm a foreigner, so it's not appropriate for me to stay any longer. I'll take Zhengjun away first."

The Queen smiled and said, "He was frightened today. He should be taken home to rest. I will ask the imperial physician to come out of the palace and check his pulse later."

"Thank you, Queen. I will take my leave."

After Pei Ji finished speaking, he took He Zhiliao's hand and left, looking as if no one was around, as if he was afraid that others would not know how loving they were as a newlywed couple.

What they don’t know is that many girls and guys have red eyes due to jealousy.

He Zhiliao followed him like a fool. From the moment Pei Ji appeared until now, he didn't know what expression he should make, and he didn't know whether he had caused him trouble again.

When we walked out of Fengwu Palace, the carriage was parked at the side door.

Pei Ji helped He Zhiliao into the carriage and signaled the coachman to return home immediately.

【ah……】

Suddenly, a hesitant voice sounded in his ears, and his sleeve was gently tugged. Pei Ji lowered his eyes and looked into those bright and clear eyes, like a pool of spring water.

"What's the matter?" Pei Ji took his hand and said, "Were you scared just now?"

He Zhiliao pursed his lips and shook his head slightly. He was not scared, but seeing that Pei Ji seemed to be in an unhappy mood and his brows were never relaxed, he wondered if he had made him unhappy.

Pei Ji brushed back the hair on the side of his face. The scent of the shampoo lingered on his fingertips. He twisted his fingertips and smiled, "Don't think too much. You didn't cause me any trouble."

Long before arriving at Fengwu Palace, he had already paid his respects to Emperor An and informed him of the whole story, so his entry into Fengwu Palace was definitely not considered as trespassing.

Although he had previously refused to marry, and now he has changed his previous attitude, which may make the superiors suspicious, no matter how suspicious they are, they would never think that he is reincarnated.

These were all secondary. It was just that the other party's words and hints made him alert and doubt the other party's intentions, which was why he felt vaguely uneasy.

He Zhiliao thought of Pei Ji's personality. He had a clear distinction between love and hate, and he never hid anything. If he really made him unhappy, he would probably communicate the pros and cons with him directly.

Thinking this way, Pei Ji is much more upright than him.

After all, he would just keep all those complicated emotions hidden in his stomach, and no matter how others tried to pry him open, he would not reveal a single word.

He's a terrible person...as he should be.

Hearing him say this, He Zhiliao immediately smiled gently, as if she was flattered, and the dimples on her lips appeared from time to time.

Pei Ji licked his dry lips and thought it was time to drink some pear soup to moisten his spleen and clear his heat.

"It's my fault too. I thought I could meet more people at the flower viewing banquet, but I didn't expect to scare you. From now on, we should just not attend such banquets." Pei Ji put his arm around his waist, holding him tightly with his broad and warm hands. "Did you meet the person I was talking about today?"

He Zhiliao nodded his little head quickly, and the earrings gently tapped his face. He held the earrings steady and smiled with his eyes curved.

There were only two of them in the carriage, and He Zhiliao started to gesture and tell Pei Ji how great the daughters of the Song and Yan families were... which made Pei Ji very jealous.

He snorted twice, "They are the only ones you have eyes for?"

【ah? 】

He Zhiliao murmured in confusion, and the smile on his face gradually faded. Did he not want him to have too much contact with others?

"Silly you." Pei Ji pinched his chin and kissed him hard on the face. "That being said, I don't mean to trap you in the inner house."

He already owes the little mute too much. If he is even deprived of the freedom to go out, then what is the difference between him and those beasts in the He family?

The little mute has never been a fool. If he is protected and allowed to grow healthily in this life, he will surely become the loudest cicada in the treetops.

It can be a little annoying, though.

But he will definitely not be among those who find him troublesome.

He Zhiliao didn't quite understand what he said, or rather, he couldn't believe it.

He is a male monarch and has been married for a long time. He is no different from those women in the harem. Everything about him is tied to the Pei Mansion. He doesn't feel trapped or not. This is how he was born.

But she didn't need to refute her husband's opinion. She just responded to whatever her husband said.

The Pei family was a close minister to the emperor, and their residence was close to the imperial palace. The carriage quickly arrived at the street leading to the Pei residence, but drove past the fork in the road.

He Zhiliao tilted his head and looked at him, his round, bright eyes full of confusion, as if asking why he didn't go home?

"My father and brothers are all in the previous dynasty, and my mother hasn't returned home yet. It would be boring for you and me to stay at home. How about I take you to meet my friend?" Pei Ji asked with a smile.

He decided to let the little mute go out more often and take him to see the world outside the He family, and of course, even to see his friends.

He Zhiliao held his breath and nodded heavily!

Meet Pei Ji’s friends...

The streets on both sides were bustling with activity, with vendors calling out one after another, and occasionally people calling out to each other for food.

Pei Ji suddenly felt his arm trembling slightly, as if something was hitting him. He lowered his eyes to look at the little mute in his arms, and immediately understood everything.

He seldom goes out. Including the time he was at the He family and today's flower viewing banquet, he has probably only gone out a few times. I think he was a little too excited.

Pei Ji couldn't help laughing out loud, "Don't be nervous. The war has ended since today, and the people of the capital are living and working in peace. There are fewer unreasonable and rude people. You don't need to be afraid or nervous. Just go out more often in the future."

[Don't I need to go back home and change clothes?]

Pei Ji's smile froze, "What do you mean?"

"Since you're meeting your friends, don't you need to change into clean clothes? If I rush over like this, will they be unhappy? Should I bring any gifts?"

Pei Ji: “???”

This is the first time my husband has said so many words in one breath, but every word is for someone else?

Damn it, Song Yangguan and Yan Jiangshu are worthy of the surname Zhao!

"It's time to change clothes, change into something gray, dirty, and ugly!" Pei Ji couldn't help but feel awkward. Every time he saw him at home, she would find different ways to seduce him!

He suddenly became angry and turned his head away from He Zhi. The little mute was suddenly at a loss.

【Ah!】I’m sorry.

【Ah!】Don’t be angry, I know I was wrong!

More than once he hated himself for being mute.

If he could speak, perhaps he could defend himself. If he could speak, he could make his father happy when he was at the He family. If he could speak, could he also apologize to Pei Ji in person?

Why is he dumb, with a mouth full of bitterness that no one would want to taste.

My nose felt sore and tears instantly filled my eyes.

He quickly closed his mouth, fearing that his unusual breathing would offend the other party.

There was a sudden sound of pin drop in the carriage.

Pei Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, wondering why the little mute suddenly stopped making a sound, stopped pulling his sleeves, and even stopped bringing his delicate face closer to him?

He coughed lightly twice and glanced sideways at the person next to him. He saw that the other person had lifted a corner of the curtain and was facing outside. It was obvious that the street outside was more attractive than him.

Pei Ji was instantly deflated. Although he had long guessed that the other party would like the bustling and prosperous streets, it was really sad that he stopped trying to comfort him after just a few words.

"Okay, even if you don't coax me, I won't really be angry with you. What's so interesting about the streets outside? Why don't you come and see your husband?" Pei Ji reached out to hug him.

The little mute was held obediently in his arms with his head lowered. Pei Ji thought he was blaming himself, so he pinched his chin and forced him to raise his head in his arms.

Afterwards, all the words Pei Ji was about to say were cut off in his throat.

The little mute closed his eyes tightly, his eyelashes were tangled into several clumps by tears, and tears kept sliding down the corners of his eyes. The tears, each as big as a bean, fell on Pei Ji's heart.

Even though he was a strong man, when he saw the little mute crying, he wanted to hug him and cry with him.

"Stop crying, it's my fault..." Pei Ji's voice was hoarse, and now he was at a loss.

It would be fine if He Zhiliao was yelling and making a fuss, as that would show that he has a bad temper. But he was crying silently and secretly, which meant that he was ready to wipe away his tears and continue smiling.

Thinking of this, Pei Ji wanted to slap himself in the face.

He apologized hoarsely, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have said those things on purpose. I was just a little jealous... Just meet them, why bother with all that? If you really cared about these little details, you wouldn't be my friend. Besides, to me, you're always neat and tidy."

Even though I've seen you in such a mess.

As he finished speaking, the person in his arms trembled slightly, and sobs escaped from between his lips and teeth, but the voice was very low, as if he was afraid of disturbing the people around him.

He was crying and gesturing with his hands.

Pei Ji recognized the apology at a glance.

His heart was so sad and soft, it was a mess.

"It's not your fault." Pei Ji buried his head in his shoulder. "I'm petty. You wanting to change clothes and bring gifts is a polite practice. You didn't do anything wrong. Can you forgive me?"

The person who was originally crying immediately wiped away his tears and nodded heavily after hearing the last sentence.

He wasn't angry at first, just a little sad, but once he was coaxed, all his sadness disappeared!

Pei Ji tilted his head and chuckled at his neck, his breath blowing the hair hanging behind his head. He couldn't help but lick the other's slender and fragile neck, leaving his own mark.

[Hmm…]

He Zhiliao suddenly covered his mouth. How could the little mute make such an indecent sound!

Pei Ji's deep eyebrows curved, and a clear smile was heard in his throat, "Huh? Why are you still shy? No one will hear us. We are newlyweds, and the driver will pretend not to hear any sound we make..."

The blush spread from He Zhiliao's neck to her entire face. How could she say such shameless words in public...

"You just ignore me? Why don't you let your husband kiss you?" Pei Ji pretended to click his tongue, but his eyes were smiling.

He Zhiliao looked around the carriage like a frightened rabbit, then moved his face closer and even closed his eyes obediently.

Pei Ji's eyes darkened and he licked his dry lips.

Damn, who is this cuteness trying to kill?
