Chapter 257: Telepathy
The four stewards never expected that Pei Tingyue would come so quickly and get straight to the point.
At first, a few people agreed reluctantly, took out the account books, and waited for the results.
The account was settled and there was indeed no problem, but before anyone could breathe a sigh of relief, they were caught off guard by the irrefutable evidence. They had no way to defend themselves and were completely speechless.
Only when they were taken to the Ministry of Punishment and surrounded by darkness and dampness did they realize how important their choice last night was.
It is really a thought that can lead to heaven or hell.
They chose this path, and we can't blame anyone else but ourselves for being too optimistic.
Pei Tingyue ordered the death of several chief stewards in the remaining four places one by one, and even two deputy chief stewards in one department. All his followers were naturally sent to the imperial mausoleum and were never allowed to return to Beijing.
The next step is to promote people. Promote your confidants or loyal and capable people. After giving them a lecture, tell them the rules and procedures for reporting in the future.
When I finished all the work and came out of the Imperial Household Department, the sun was about to set in the sky, and a colorful glow was spreading out.
Pei Tingyue stood on the steps, admired quietly for a while, and then let out a long sigh.
The purge of the six palaces went smoothly, and a big stone in her heart fell completely, and everything went smoothly.
When you are in a good mood, you will naturally think about other things.
The first thing that came to Pei Tingyue's mind was a noble figure.
This time, she was in the six imperial harems of the Qing Dynasty, and his help was indispensable. She had originally planted many trusted spies, but in the end, they were not enough, and few of them could get high positions. Thanks to him sending those trusted spies, she was able to do so smoothly.
Pei Tingyue touched his stomach and felt a little hungry.
She got on the sedan chair, but instead of being told to go back to Chengning Palace, she was told to go to Chengming Palace.
She is not the shy person, so since she wants to meet him, she will go and meet him.
Even if he was busy, it would be nice to have a meal together. If there was extra time, she would have a lot to say.
The sedan chair slowly went to Chengming Palace.
Pei Tingyue leaned back in the sedan chair, closing her eyes to rest. During this period, it wasn't just the people in the Imperial Household Department who were nervous; she was also on edge, which was really tiring.
Her thoughts gradually faded and she fell asleep without realizing it.
When he suddenly woke up, Pei Tingyue lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and saw that he was actually near the Imperial Garden.
She looked at Yunshu who was following beside her and asked in confusion, "Yunshu, didn't I tell you to go to Chengming Palace? Why are you heading to our palace?"
Yun Shu stepped forward and explained with a smile, "We just went to Chengming Palace. When we arrived, Your Majesty was asleep in the sedan chair, so I thought I'd ask the Emperor to carry you out. But when I went to ask for an audience, the palace servants in Chengming Palace said that the Emperor had already come to our palace after finishing his government affairs. So, I asked them to turn back and go to our palace."
Pei Tingyue couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
Is this a case of telepathy, both thinking about each other, but missing each other?
She raised the corners of her eyes slightly, and felt even more eager to see him. For the first time ever, she spoke and asked the eunuchs carrying the sedan chair to go faster.
When she reached the palace gate, she walked in quickly.
The man must have seen her and came to the temple gate to greet her.
Pei Tingyue walked up the stairs in a few steps, then threw herself into his arms. The familiar faint fragrance lingered around her nose, and she felt completely at ease.
Xie Chen smiled, exerted force on his arms, lifted the person up, and brought her back to the hall.
After sitting on the soft couch, he asked softly, "Is the decisive and ruthless Concubine so clingy?"
Pei Tingyue rubbed her noses against his, then stood up and kissed him.
Her movements were quite bold and intense. Xie Chen was afraid that she would slip, so he had to hold her waist tightly. Taking into account that she was pregnant, he did not dare to hold her too tightly. Therefore, after being kissed like this, her head kept moving back, and finally, she lay on the soft couch.
Pei Tingyue had kissed him enough and rubbed against him in his arms.
Xie Chen was very pleased with her dependence on others. He couldn't help but smile and gently stroked her back, "Are you hungry? I'll ask them to prepare dinner."
Pei Tingyue squinted her eyes as she was touched so comfortably that she listed several dishes in one breath. "I want hot pot shrimp, vegetarian chicken with mushrooms, jade tofu, and osmanthus glutinous rice balls."
Xie Chen caressed her slowly, his eyes gentle: "Okay, I'll let the small kitchen do it."
He was reluctant to leave the land of comfort, so he stood up and gave orders.
When I came back, I found the person on the couch curled up in a ball and already asleep.
He sighed and carried the person to the inner bedroom.
*
Pei Tingyue slept soundly for a long time, and when she woke up, she felt refreshed.
Looking at the figure sitting on the edge of the couch reading a book, she leaned over, wrapped her arms around the thin waist, and said lazily, "Tingyue is hungry."
Xie Chen turned around and lovingly stroked the small red mole at the corner of her eye. "Then hurry up and get up. The kitchen has already prepared the food. I will give the order and have them start cooking."
Pei Tingyue rubbed her hands against his and said coquettishly, "Give me a kiss before you get up."
Xie Chen pinched her chin and gave her a kiss.
Pei Tingyue was satisfied and got up to wash up.
When the two of them arrived at the main room, dinner had already been set. The table was full of delicious food with great color, aroma and taste, which made people's appetites whetted.
Seeing the meal, Pei Tingyue realized that she had forgotten something, "Yuzhou hasn't had his meal since school?!"
I was so busy and tired that I even forgot about my good son.
Xie Chen said gently, "Don't worry. I accompanied him to use the room and helped him finish his homework. He came to see you and I asked the palace maids to take him to the Imperial Garden to play for a while. He has been settled in now."
Pei Tingyue finally felt relieved.
The two of them moved to the dining table, sat down and started eating quietly.
It would be more accurate to say that Xie Chen served Pei Tingyue rather than having a meal together.
Pei Tingyue likes to eat hot pot shrimps very much, but she won’t eat the big shrimps if others peel them, and she finds it troublesome to peel them herself.
Xie Chen had observed her twice before and always found that she wanted to pick up something but changed her mind and picked up other dishes halfway through. He had a guess in his mind and peeled one for her himself.
The result was that Pei Tingyue ate happily.
Xie Chen understood what was going on, and from then on, whenever this dish was available, he would peel it for Pei Tingyue himself.
Tonight, he peeled a plate of shrimp himself as usual and brought it to Pei Tingyue, "Eat."
Pei Tingyue picked up one and chewed it, then picked up another one, following the example of a little hamster.
Xie Chen smiled as he watched her eat. His eyes were like a pool of spring water, full of tenderness and sweetness. "Slow down. I'll peel it for you after you finish eating."
Pei Tingyue nodded and ate slower.
Of course, she wasn't completely heartless and only cared about herself. After eating for a while, she didn't forget to put one into Xie Chen's mouth.
Pei Tingyue not only took some shrimps, but also other delicious dishes.
Xie Chen ate it happily, and did not forget to tease her a little, laughing at her for not forgetting him.
