Chapter 255 Welcome Banquet
When Pei Luoshu heard the news, he stayed in the study for the whole day.
Bailing encouraged Chen Shiyi who was standing beside her.
"Sister, why don't you go and give them some advice?"
Chen Shiyi, who was lying in the recliner, held the book in his hand and turned another page.
"Let him be quiet. He doesn't want to be disturbed at this time."
Chen Shiyi was reading a book. The characters in the book were constantly entangled.
In this world, there is no right or wrong, only experiences and choices.
Throughout his life, Long Muchuan will forever be trapped in the knife that slashed the prince's neck when Pei Luoshu was eight years old.
He was trapped in the wall like a trapped beast. Now that he was released, he had no expectations or yearnings, nor did he have the courage. His self-blame and betrayal in his heart no longer allowed him to live in this world.
His soul was gone, and he didn't want to leave behind a body, so he died cleanly.
Okay, okay!
Later, Pei Luoshu became increasingly busy and often came home very late.
Chen Shiyi was idly tending to the flowers and plants in the yard, and sometimes Wen Zhirou would talk to her...
Sometimes, she is also waiting, waiting for the result, the result about herself.
A country cannot be without a king for a day!
After waiting for a long time, there was no news yet, but some good news came.
Cui Yongan is coming to Kyoto to establish a government.
When she took Bailing to the city gate to greet Cui Yongan, she was extremely happy when she opened the curtain of the carriage at the back and found Mo Xunyan sitting inside.
Chen Shiyi was even more surprised when he saw her round belly.
She teased Cui Yongan.
"Brother Cui, you are really amazing. You are so fast and silent. Even the child is that big now."
Cui Yongan's general's residence was a bit far from them, in the northern suburbs, and it would take more than half an hour to get there by carriage.
This is a two-story house, about the same size as the one she lives in. However, when Mo Xunyan has more children, she will have to get a bigger one, otherwise it will not be big enough to live in.
Mo Xun took a break from smoking and sat on a chair.
"I didn't expect to come back to Kyoto after all these twists and turns."
Chen Shiyi said with a smile.
"You are born to enjoy happiness."
Mo Xunyan smiled.
Chen Shiyi touched her belly and asked with a smile.
"How many months?"
"More than five months."
Chen Shiyi was very jealous.
"very nice."
Mo Xunyan noticed the disappointment in Chen Shiyi's eyes and quickly changed the subject.
"We were supposed to come back a month earlier, but I kept vomiting everything I ate and felt sick, so we kept putting it off."
Chen Shiyi suddenly missed the feeling of eating fish at sea. At that time, he also felt like vomiting when he smelled it. Is it the same feeling when carrying a child?
Now that I think about it, it's still bearable.
"Eleven, are you listening?"
Chen Shiyi came back to her senses and saw Mo Xunyan looking at her with a worried look on his face.
"I was listening. I didn't know you were pregnant. I'll send you a gift later. You guys didn't write me a letter after your wedding. You're in such a hurry."
Mo Xunyan comforted her.
"Lao Cui and I didn't have a wedding banquet. We just wrote a marriage certificate and had a drink together as a family. That was it."
Chen Shiyi was very puzzled.
"Isn't that unfair to you?"
"She's not wronged, I'm the one who's wronged. I want to have a grand ceremony, but she feels tired, so there's nothing I can do."
Cui Yongan's voice is very loud, but it reveals his sadness and grievance.
He looked extremely pitiful.
Chen Shiyi burst into laughter.
"Come on, you must be tired from the journey. I will go back and prepare some gifts for you. I will come back to see you when I am done."
On the way, she passed by Wen Zhirou's mansion and got off the carriage.
Wen Zhirou was very surprised when she heard the message from the doorman. Normally, Chen Shiyi seldom took the initiative to look for her. Usually, she would post messages to look for him.
"Why do you have time to come see me today?"
"We were in Fangling before. Do you still remember Brother Cui?"
Wen Zhirou nodded.
"What happened to the one with the tattoo on his forehead?"
"Oh, he's getting married. I'm going to give him a gift in two days. Do you want to come with me?"
Wen Zhirou shook her head.
"I had very little contact with him, so I stopped going."
Chen Shiyi nodded.
"Okay, I just came to ask. I always wanted to talk to him and have a companion. Oh, his wife is Mo Xunyan."
Wen Zhirou was stunned when she heard this, and then she started laughing.
"What a coincidence! All right, when you go the day after tomorrow, call me and I'll go with you."
"good."
Wen Zhirou went to Lingyun Pavilion.
Walking into the courtyard, she saw Wen Zhiheng carefully polishing a wood sculpture.
Wen Zhiheng raised his eyes to look at her and asked calmly.
"What's up?"
"Is there nothing I can do to come and see you?"
She saw the yard full of exotic flowers and plants, carved clay sculptures, and polished wood carvings, each of which was quite exquisite.
Alas, he is really old.
"Cui Yongan has returned to Kyoto to build a house. Let's prepare a gift for him. After all, we have been taken care of by him in the past."
Wen Zhiheng replied without raising his head.
"Well, go ahead and deliver one to me as well."
Wen Zhirou's eyes were dim.
"Brother, Mo Xunyan is his wife."
Wen Zhiheng was stunned for a moment, then said casually.
"Oh, yeah, it's good."
Wen Zhirou sighed and spoke tentatively.
"The day after tomorrow, Eleven will also go. He said he has moved to a new mansion, so we'll have some fun together."
Wen Zhiheng shook his head.
"No, there are too many people and it's too noisy."
Warm and gentle persuasion.
"You always stay alone in Lingyun Pavilion, tending to your flowers and plants, and you talk less and less. This is not good. It's a good thing that Rui'er came to the last lantern festival, otherwise you would not go out. How long will you keep doing this? You are living a life without human form."
Wen Zhiheng stopped what he was doing and was stunned for a while.
"Okay, go ahead, help me prepare a gift. I don't even know what to give."
Cui Mansion.
It was a busy day.
Pei Luoshu, who had been busy with government affairs, also took some time to come with Chen Shiyi.
When Wen Zhirou brought Wen Zhiheng here, the one who was most shocked was Mo Xunyan.
She looked at the thin Wen Zhiheng and clicked her tongue twice.
"It's really hard for you. Can you bear to look at me?"
Wen Zhiheng said casually.
"You think too much. I'm here to see Cui Yongan."
Mo Xunyan curled her lips.
"He has a gloomy face all day long, as if others owe him money."
Wen Zhirou quickly explained.
"Mrs. Cui, dear sister-in-law, he is just like that, he doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't like to laugh. Today is a good day, please don't make things difficult for him."
Cui Yongan hurried over and put his arm around Wen Zhiheng's shoulder.
"I just have something to tell you."
Later, the three men hid in the study.
Chen Shiyi, Wen Zhirou, and Mo Xunyan were all sitting in the corridor, chatting casually.
"Eleven, I heard that your man is going to be crowned emperor?"
Chen Shiyi asked Mo Xunyan who had just spoken.
"Who told you that?"
