104 Puppet
Xiao Tingyun blushed and just listened to her. At present, they had nothing to do with each other. Even if those women and children had nothing to do with him, he was their nominal husband and father after all.
Although she could understand his difficulties, she could not back down.
It doesn't make sense to be jealous of women who don't understand the facts, because they are just two different people.
If those people knew that Pei Yuning was not the same person as before, they would probably compromise for the sake of their status.
"The Queen Mother, isn't she afraid of being discovered by doing this?" Xiao Tingyun found this matter still very unbelievable, even though the two were twins.
But after all, we have never met before and our living habits are different. Even if there is something wrong, it is very likely to be noticed.
Pei Yuning was still in the mood to ask her to be careful with the broken teacup, and said casually, "I have been with him for nearly a year. During that year, the woman had someone display all his living habits, including what kind of food he likes to eat and what kind of tea he likes to drink."
"I had to learn everything. As time went by, they couldn't tell whether my preferences had changed or were just too different from before."
Wouldn't that make you a puppet imitating others?
Xiao Tingyun was dumbfounded, puzzled, "They...really, not at all..."
Don't care about you?
"Even in a family relationship, there will inevitably be mothers who are partial to one side."
What's more, the other one has never grown up by her side and has no respect for her mother.
Perhaps for his mother, letting him inherit the Great Qi, become the sole ruler, and rule the world is already a great blessing, and he should not ask for more.
Xiao Tingyun had nothing to refute. After all, such things happened quite often. But why should he mistreat the one who never grew up with him when they had two children who looked exactly the same?
Then she thought of herself again.
She did not grow up with Song, but after she returned to Kyoto, Song took great care of her and even argued with others for her until they were red in the face and refused to give in.
She really wanted to comfort her that there were still many mothers who loved their children and were even willing to sacrifice their lives for them.
But to Pei Yuning, these seemed... even more cruel.
"Your mother may not know how to get along with you." Xiao Tingyun's consolation was pale and powerless.
The role of a mother is irreplaceable by anyone and is something that everyone desires at all times.
Pei Yuning smiled mockingly, "She is sometimes very smart, but sometimes very stupid. It's not that she doesn't understand, but she has never thought about doing it."
If she didn't understand, she wouldn't be thinking about that other person day and night!
I would never make this extremely absurd decision.
She was just selfish, taking guilt as a form of compensatory maternal love, and was overly self-righteous in asking for his forgiveness!
Xiao Tingyun had nothing to say this time.
Pei Yuning didn't care what kind of pity that woman could give him, as long as she didn't interfere with his life, interfere with who he liked, and disturb her.
If she doesn't like the palace, then she doesn't have to go there, and he won't force her.
Moreover, the eldest prince is old now, so he can pass the throne to him and let the empress dowager rule the country from behind the curtain.
He told his idea to Xiao Tingyun, who covered his mouth in shock.
Then what have I become? Su Danji who bewitched the monarch? ? !
"Don't!" Xiao Tingyun's pupils were shocked, and he kept saying, "If you do this, the Queen Mother will definitely cut me into pieces if she finds out!"
Pei Yuning pulled her hand down and said, "She won't do that as long as I'm here."
Or rather, she didn't dare.
If she knew about Xiao Tingyun's existence, she would only let her enter the palace.
Xiao Tingyun's mind was in a mess right now. When she suddenly heard such big news, she felt like all her brain cells were scared to death.
"You... let me think about it." Xiao Tingyun didn't know how to answer him, so he lowered his eyebrows and said in a deep voice.
Pei Yuning frowned and said lightly, "Okay."
All he could wait was the day when she looked back at him.
Even if there is no way back for me in the future.
As long as she doesn't leave him... Otherwise, he doesn't know what he will do!
The air pressure around Pei Yuning was getting lower and lower, but he kept his eyes lowered so that she couldn't see the emotions in his eyes.
Until she asked, "Pei Yuning?"
Pulling back his thoughts, the surging paranoia instantly subsided, Pei Yuning raised his head and looked at her gently again, "It doesn't matter how long it takes."
Xiao Tingyun pursed his lips and nodded silently.
Although the misunderstanding between the two was resolved, a bigger problem still stood in the way.
Pei Yuning gave her some time to think about it, "I'll have someone send you back."
Xiao Tingyun did not refuse and nodded, "Okay."
After the two men left the door, Caixing and Luzhi hurriedly tried to salute, "Your Majesty..."
"Get up." Pei Yuning said calmly, exempting the two from the greetings.
Qing Wu suddenly stepped forward and approached Pei Yuning to answer. After hearing this, Pei Yuning glanced at Xiao Tingyun.
"I understand." Pei Yuning nodded, turned his head and said to Xiao Tingyun, "Your father is outside."
"Ah?" Xiao Tingyun was shocked. "Why is he outside?"
"Let me go out with you." Pei Yuning naturally knew the reason. It was because Minister Xiao was afraid that his daughter would be bullied by him, so he knocked on the door and followed him in.
Now I am sitting and chatting and drinking tea with Shui Bo.
Qing Wu opened the door, and two people came out one after another. Xiao Tingyun actually saw Xiao Huanshan sitting in the courtyard.
"Father!"
Xiao Huanshan heard the noise, turned his head and saw Pei Yuning, stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
"There is no monarch or minister today, so no need to be polite."
Under normal circumstances, Your Majesty's words would surely be regarded as extremely respectful by any subject.
But Xiao Huanshan was not moved at all by these words, he just gritted his teeth.
Pei Yuning met his fiery eyes calmly and smiled almost inaudibly.
"Father, why are you here?" Xiao Tingyun asked hurriedly without noticing the exchange of glances between the two.
Xiao Huanshan was very gentle when facing his daughter. "Oh, I will tell you about this when I get back. Now I have something to say to His Majesty in private."
"I wonder if Your Majesty could give me some time."
Pei Yuning's eyebrows moved, "Okay."
Xiao Tingyun was worried that the two would have any conflict.
Otherwise, I can't afford to offend one or two of these people.
He had no choice but to look to Pei Yuning for help, and Pei Yuning smiled soothingly.
Xiao Tingyun felt a lot more at ease instantly. The private conversation between the two naturally did not escape Xiao Huanshan's eyes.
For a moment, he was so disappointed with his daughter that he could only cough loudly to remind her, "Ahem!"
"Father, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Xiao Tingyun asked worriedly.
Xiao Huanshan: ...
Shui Bo was enjoying the fun. These people were really interesting. It seemed that Xiao Pei would not get away with it so easily this time.
