Chapter 123 Qingluo Girl

Qingluo's fingers suddenly tightened.

Pei Jingpeng noticed it and whispered to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, just tell the truth."

Qingluo nodded gently, slowly stood up and replied: "Madam, I...I am from Jinzhou and have been in the palace for eight years."

Wang asked, as if chatting casually, "Have you been serving Xiao Peng since entering the palace?"

Qing Luo replied politely, "Madam Huiguo, in my second year in the palace, I had the honor of working as a handyman in the Eastern Palace."

"A handyman?" Wang's tone was strange.

Qingluo lowered her head slightly: "Yes."

Wang asked again, "Then how did you become Xiao Peng's personal maid?"

Qing Luo still replied respectfully: "Madam, the maid on duty at that time failed in her duty, so I took over."

"Then you are quite capable." Wang said slowly.

Qingluo looked unhappy.

Pei Jingpeng, Pei Jingzhou, Pei Jingxiao, and Zhang Siyin opened their mouths to speak, but Jiang Zhaoyue had already spoken: "Yes, Xiaopeng's gradual recovery is due to Qingluo's contribution. The emperor praised her greatly, returned her indenture contract, and rewarded her with money. Now she is still by Xiaopeng's side, which is a blessing for Xiaopeng."

"Yes, my cousin's wife is right. It is my blessing and my luck that Qingluo stays by my side." Pei Jingpeng looked at Qingluo.

The Crown Princess and the Young Master both spoke up for her, and Qingluo was deeply moved.

Wang had never liked Jiang Zhaoyue and had tried many times to drive him out of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, but each attempt failed.

Now that Jiang Zhaoyue has become the Crown Princess, she still uses her "father" to pressure others.

Her expression changed and she opened her mouth several times but couldn't say anything.

Jiang Zhaoyue continued, "Miss Qingluo, I've told you countless times that you're no longer a palace maid, otherwise I wouldn't let you sit with Xiao Peng. Also, don't be so servile from now on. You're being polite, but people who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak think you're easy to bully, and that's not good."

Qingluo was a smart person. She could tell that when the Duke's wife called her "Miss Qingluo", there was something sarcastic in her tone. The Crown Princess called her "Miss Qingluo" not only to elevate her status, but also to indirectly criticize the Duke's wife. She was grateful and frightened.

"You are too kind, Crown Princess. Miss Qingluo has devoted herself to taking care of Xiao Peng. No one in the Zhenguo Mansion dares to look down on her." Wang suppressed her resentment and said, "I am concerned about her, so I asked a few more questions."

"That's great. I was just scolding those who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. I wasn't referring to my aunt specifically. Please don't take it personally, otherwise the younger generation will be unfilial." Jiang Zhaoyue looked teasing.

Jiang Zhaoyue!

Jiang Zhaoyue!

Jiang Zhaoyue is still so hated!

Everything he says and does is so hateful!

Wang's back teeth were about to break, but she was no longer Jiang Zhaoyue's mother-in-law. If she was disrespectful to Jiang Zhaoyue, she would be disrespectful to the prince and the emperor.

She didn't dare to offend the royal family, so she swallowed all the anger, dissatisfaction, and hatred in her heart, and said with a smile: "The Crown Princess has misunderstood. What I said is the truth."

"That's good, let's eat." Jiang Zhaoyue said happily.

Wang Shi, fuming, echoed, "Everyone, start eating."

Qingluo breathed a sigh of relief.

Pei Jingpeng secretly held Qingluo's hand and whispered, "We will leave the house in a few days."

Qingluo was stunned.

Pei Jingpeng said, "Let's eat first."

Qingluo nodded: "Yeah."

Pei Jingpeng said, "You sit down too."

Qingluo blurted out: "I don't need it."

Pei Jingpeng said, "You still say the word slave."

Qingluo corrected herself: "I can just stand."

"Sit down." Pei Jingpeng took Qingluo's hand.

"Please sit down." Jiang Zhaoyue said when he heard the sound.

"Come and sit down." Pei Jingpeng pulled her hard.

Qingluo sat down, but she could still feel Wang's gaze from time to time, and she was very nervous.

However, Wang never said or did anything to Qingluo again.

Pei Maokun regained his interest and started chatting enthusiastically with his sons and daughters.

We had dinner very late.

With a "bang", Pei Heng's head hit Jiang Zhaoyue.

"What happened to Brother Heng?" Pei Maokun asked.

Pei Heng's eyelids had been drooping just now. Jiang Zhaoyue asked Lianxiang to take him back to bed, but he didn't want to, so he just sat next to her. Now that he couldn't hold on any longer, she smiled and said, "He fell asleep."

When Pei Heng heard Jiang Zhaoyue's voice, he woke up again and sat up straight: "I'm not sleepy, I don't want to go back, I want to play with my second sister-in-law." After saying that, his eyelids began to twitch again.

Everyone at the table laughed when they saw this.

Jiang Zhaoyue said softly, "It's very late. My second sister-in-law will come to play with you tomorrow."

"Really?" Pei Heng asked in a daze.

"Really? Let Lianxiang carry you back."

"Okay." Pei Heng stopped struggling, closed his eyes completely, and fell towards Jiang Zhaoyue.

Jiang Zhaoyue quickly hugged him and handed him to Lianxiang.

Lianxiang carried Pei Heng on her back.

Jiang Zhaoyue covered Pei Heng with a thin blanket and inserted a peach branch to ward off evil spirits, then said, "Okay, go back."

Lianxiang carried Pei Heng away.

The dinner was over.

Jiang Zhaoyue got up early in the morning and took a carriage to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. After taking a short rest at noon, he chatted excitedly with Zhang Siyin and others, and had dinner until so late.

She is really tired.

After taking a bath, she hugged Pei Jingzhou and said, "I haven't slept here for a long time. It still feels very close."

"Well, we are getting married here, and we should have our bridal chamber here as well." Pei Jingzhou said it shyly, waiting for Jiang Zhaoyue's next move.

After waiting for a long time, there was no response from Jiang Zhaoyue.

Looking down, he saw Jiang Zhaoyue sleeping on his chest.

Really...

In the past, people would ask each other every day, “Second Master, are we having our wedding night today?”, “Husband, are we having our wedding night?”, “Your Highness, do you want to have your wedding night today?”

Why haven't you said anything in recent days?

He was a little depressed, but then he thought about how hard she had worked today, so he didn't care. However, he looked down at his seat.

She was becoming increasingly disobedient and out of his control.

He had to slowly push Jiang Zhaoyue away, slowly get up, go to the bathroom to take care of himself, and then lie down in front of Jiang Zhaoyue again.

Jiang Zhaoyue hugged him again, resting her forehead on his neck, her plump and rosy lips on his collarbone, and a faint fragrance emanated from her body.

The position that had just disappeared raised its head again, and Pei Jingzhou went to the purification room again. He repeated this several times, and he finally fell asleep in the middle of the night while hugging Jiang Zhaoyue.

The next day, Pei Jingzhou got up before dawn to read the memorials.

Jiang Zhaoyue slept until she woke up naturally. She slowly sat up and saw Pei Jingzhou sitting at the desk writing something. She was used to it. She looked out the window and said, "Your Highness, it's cloudy today."

Pei Jingzhou turned his head: "Awake."

Jiang Zhaoyue sat down on the bed: "Yeah."

"The sky is gloomy and it might rain soon." Pei Jingzhou said.

"Please don't rain, I still want to play sepak takraw with Heng Ge'er." Jiang Zhaoyue stood up.

Xiangqiao heard the noise and came to serve.

Pei Jingzhou smiled: "No wonder Brother Heng likes you."

"That's it."

"Is my second sister-in-law awake?" Pei Heng's voice sounded at the right time.

"Look, I'm here to find you." Pei Jingzhou said.

"I'm going to have some fun with him later."

Pei Jingzhou nodded.

Jiang Zhaoyue quickly washed up and walked out of the bedroom.

Pei Heng was waiting in the main room. When he saw Jiang Zhaoyue, he said, "Second sister-in-law, didn't you say you wanted to play with me? Why didn't you come to play with me?"

"I just got up and was going to look for you, but you came." Jiang Zhaoyue walked over, touched his head, and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

"I used it." Pei Heng said with a smile: "But I can still use it for another meal."

Pei Jingzhou pressed his forehead.

After a while, the three of them sat together to eat.

Pei Heng said, "Second sister-in-law, this is delicious. You eat this."

"Pei Heng, don't talk while eating." Pei Jingzhou reminded.

Pei Heng closed his little mouth and pointed at the fried buns with his little hands, as if saying, "Sister-in-law, eat this, eat this."

Jiang Zhaoyue smiled and reached out to pick one up.

Pei Heng was happy.

Pei Jingzhou was extremely helpless.

"Your Highness, Your Highness." Hongyao hurried in from outside.

"What's the matter?" Pei Jingzhou asked.

Hongyao said with embarrassment: "The young master vomited blood and fainted."
