Harem tactics
The more Pei Zhaoying wiped the tears from her face, the more Xiao Bo became anxious and helpless. He kept wiping her tears.
Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, like fruits battered by wind and rain, and her willow-shaped brows were tightly furrowed, like Xishi holding her heart.
If he could stop her tears, Xiao Bo would be willing to sacrifice his life.
Xiao Bo was a smart man. As soon as Pei Zhaoying started talking, he knew what she was crying about.
In the final analysis, it was a matter of love. He had nothing to hide from her. It was beyond his expectation that she would be so sad.
Xiao Bo knelt on the ground, keeping his eyes level with Pei Zhaoying, holding her face and pressing his cheek against hers, forcing Pei Zhaoying to look at him.
"A Ying, I'm despicable and calculating, but I just want your love and care. I was the first one to fall in love with you, and I think you have me in your heart. Is that wrong?"
Pei Zhaoying could express her grievances openly.
She was born to live in the light.
But Xiao Bo has so much bitterness.
It is difficult for some people to endure, and they cannot let it be seen in public.
Xiao Bo shed tears as he spoke each word, wanting to reveal his heart to her to prove how true it was.
He doesn't want to cry.
It was her eyes that were disobedient, and tears began to fill her eyes along with Pei Zhaoying's.
Xiao Bo admitted his fault, and Pei Zhaoying's anger subsided a little, but she still cried and accused him:
"That's right. But you hurt yourself, you caught a cold, can you use it as a bargaining chip to trade my feelings? If you're sick, I'll feel guilty and uncomfortable, I don't need you to resort to self-harm! Will you do something like this again in the future? How can I live with myself? You're already the prince consort, what else do you want!"
"I want your love, why don't you understand? You've tolerated Pei Heng time and time again for years, and tolerated Jiang Yubai's audacity and domineering behavior in front of him. Why is it that when it comes to me, you don't have the same tolerance for me? I may be your husband, but am I any better than the people around you?"
"I……"
Pei Zhaoying wanted to answer his question.
In fact, she had already answered his question.
The answer is that she is attracted to him.
It is too embarrassing to express love in the midst of a quarrel.
Pei Zhaoying stopped crying and sighed, repeating her concerns:
"Xiao Bo, I don't want you to plot against me too."
Xiao Bo was terrified.
There is no clear boundary between his actions, whether they are calculated and deliberate, or cautious and protective.
Pei Zhaoying is obviously a person who cannot tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. How dare he let her know more!
"A Ying, I tried to win your affection. If you want to say it was calculated, I'll admit it. But are my feelings for you fake? Are my cherishment and love for you fake? You can't write me off completely just because of this one thing."
Xiao Bo panicked and shook Pei Zhaoying's hand, asking her to think carefully about his heart.
His deep black pupils flashed with a faint light, as if there were starlight scattered in them, and he looked even more pitiful than Pei Zhaoying with tears in her eyes.
Pei Zhaoying slowly calmed down and unconsciously shook Xiao Bo's hand back.
Xiao Bo's skin was always icy, like a beautiful woman with jade-like bones and icy skin. The two of them had mentioned this in casual conversation, and Xiao Bo said it might be because he had little care in his childhood, and when the weather got cold, he lacked clothes and fuel, which had developed a cold constitution.
This was not a big deal, but Pei Zhaoying had been worried about it for a long time, always thinking about building a warm home with Xiao Bo to warm his heart and hands.
Things in the world are not black and white. If Xiao Bo was a stubborn and inflexible person, he would have been killed by an open or hidden attack before they met. Pei Zhaoying knew that he was protecting her everywhere, but she was a little hypocritical and would rather everyone in the world plot against her than let Xiao Bo use any tricks on her.
She hopes Xiao Bo will always be the dust-free snow on the top of the mountain.
Pei Zhaoying's tears welled up again. She brought Xiao Bo's hand to her lips and pierced his flesh with her teeth.
I couldn't bear to bite him hard enough to hurt him.
Roll the tiger's teeth on it to confirm whether the person is real and hot.
"Xiao Bo, are you sincere to me? Are you sincere?"
"Please believe me. Everything I've done for you, every single one of them, is fake. Ah Ying, I told you I won't hurt you in the slightest. You're so smart and clever, why can't you even understand my feelings?"
Xiao Bo let her bite him.
As long as she feels better.
The imprint left behind was shallow, and Xiao Bo was not satisfied:
"Aying, just use some strength and bite me to death. Don't worry about what's true or false."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Pei Zhaoying slapped his hand away, her heart no longer hardened.
Jiang Yubai once left her in anger, and Xiao Bo repeatedly promised with words and actions that he would stay with her every step of the way.
She seemed to be bullying Xiao Bo for being nice to her.
Because Xiao Bo protected her with all his heart, she particularly demanded the purity of Xiao Bo's feelings and didn't let him get involved in anything. Was this considered pretentious and making a fuss out of nothing?
Pei Zhaoying was extremely confused. She hated Xiao Bo for hurting himself for her, and Xiao Bo was also the one she depended on the most.
She fell on Xiao Bo's neck with muffled tears, angry at him and at herself for being stubborn.
Xiao Bo knew that she was loosening and softening, so he began to kiss her closely, inch by inch, all over the tear-soaked areas of her cheek. He held her shoulders tightly, not wanting to separate, not wanting her to have any thoughts of escaping or rejecting him.
He had so many secrets that he couldn't tell her.
From now on, they will live a good life. Xiao Bo will spend more time and effort to let Pei Zhaoying immerse herself in the wonderful and dreamy days. He will cover it up for the rest of his life and prevent a similar situation from happening again.
"Aying, I won't force you to figure it out. Please, considering that we've been through so many hardships together, don't question my sincerity and my intentions. You can blame me, hit me, or scold me, but please don't hurt yourself by crying or suffocating yourself, otherwise I will die."
"You dare to mention 'death'!"
Pei Zhaoying covered his mouth to avoid unlucky words.
She has experienced the death of too many loved ones.
Cherish life, cherish yourself, and cherish those around you.
Even if Xiao Bo deliberately caught a cold, she would be heartbroken, let alone...
She glared at him, her beautiful eyes filled with anger, her eyelashes fluttering, and her face was filled with anger and reproach, clearly caring about him.
Moreover, Pei Zhaoying had only a vague understanding of love between men and women. Apart from Xiao Bo, there was no one who could whisper sweet nothings in her ear and boldly reveal her heart to her.
Those words sounded better than the nauseating lines in the storybook. Pei Zhaoying suspected that Xiao Bo had vomited a love potion, otherwise why would she be so happy that she felt like flying into the sky after crying so hard?
"Okay, I won't talk about that. Ah Ying, I will do whatever you say, as long as you can understand me and know me. What I promised you will never change, and I will never leave you alone in this world."
Xiao Bo choked up at the end of his words. Even though he had a lot to say, he could not utter anything except a feeble and feeble defense of his true feelings.
Pei Zhaoying liked his bright and handsome appearance, but she didn't know that his inside had already rotted into ashes.
He had no mercy on anything in the world because no one showed him any extra love. Even his father abandoned his young son with a broken heart after his mother passed away.
He wished there was a red lotus fire that would burn everything in the world to ashes.
When he was surviving like a walking corpse, he accidentally met Pei Zhaoying, and his poor and dark life had a little hope. He was not the ideal person Pei Zhaoying had imagined, so he could only try his best to play the role of a good man and a good official that she admired, but he still hoped to be with her for a long time.
Pei Zhaoying noticed that the person she was leaning on had changed. Only one drop of crystal tears flowed down the corner of her eye, but was quickly suppressed by him. Pei Zhaoying finally couldn't suppress her inner instinct and pressed her soft lips against his brow.
At that moment, the long-dry land welcomed the rain.
Xiao Bo's eyelashes trembled in surprise and joy, and he hugged her tighter.
Life must go on one day at a time, right?
They are already husband and wife, and partners who appreciate each other the most. Are they going to become estranged because of this little house trick?
Pei Zhaoying said nothing and let Xiao Bo dress her up as if he was taking care of a doll.
Xiao Bo washed her face again and asked for some ice cubes wrapped in a handkerchief. He focused on rolling and pressing the area under Pei Zhaoying's eyes to speed up the reduction of swelling.
Pei Zhaoying's hair was messy, so Xiao Bo combed it for her personally. However, his skill in combing women's hair was too poor. After working clumsily for a long time, he could only tie her hair into the simplest Lingyun bun.
Moreover, not wanting to hurt her, Xiao Bo deliberately tied her hair loosely, so that some of her hair escaped, making her look messy.
Pei Zhaoying looked at the finished product in the bronze mirror, resisted the urge to show disgust, and did not ask the maid to do her hair. She thought to herself, it's a good thing that she likes to go out with a plain face in the mansion, otherwise Xiao Bo might clumsily make her up like a witch on the stage!
Qiluo winked at the maids, and they all silently cleaned up the mess in the room. They didn't dare to talk about their master, pretending not to know that the couple had had an argument.
Qiluo twisted her handkerchief anxiously, thinking, "What man could be so considerate to his wife?" It was a pity that her Highness was not an ordinary woman. She thought too much and was easily stuck in a dead end.
If this goes on for a long time, a little thing will make you make a fuss and it will hurt the relationship between husband and wife!
No one in the mansion could say anything about Pei Zhaoying. Qiluo just hoped that His Highness could figure it out soon.
"I've been promoted to the position of Chief Justice of the Dali Temple. I'm too young, which has drawn a lot of criticism. The previous Chief Justice was a shrew who didn't care about anything. After his retirement, he left behind a long backlog of major cases, each of which concerns the people and has caused them tears. I, Chengzi, must work day and night to handle them all. If I'm too busy, I may have to stay in the Dali Temple. Ah Ying, take good care of yourself and don't let yourself be a burden to distract me and worry me, okay?"
Xiao Bo comforted Pei Zhaoying slowly and gently, like coaxing a child.
At first, his plan was that at worst he would just run back and forth between the Dali Temple and the Princess's Mansion, but he couldn't stay away from home.
Judging from the current situation, Pei Zhaoying cannot be pushed too hard. We should take a step back and let her suddenly discover a gap in her life that no one can fill, and think more about his good points.
"Okay, just focus on the family and national affairs."
Pei Zhaoying is not an unreasonable person. Since it is a major matter for the country and the family, it is natural that the main thing is to do the right thing, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Xiao Bo left a light kiss, gave a few words of advice to the servants, and then slowly left.
Pei Zhaoying stared at the bronze mirror for a long time.
When Qiluo came to remind her that it was time for dinner, she suddenly realized that Xiao Bo would not be returning to the mansion to rest tonight, or even for the next period of time...
