Chapter 175 Pei Tingyue, there are many people in your heart
The beauty was not smiling, she was about to cry.
Pei Tingyue looked at Concubine Song with tears in her eyes.
The smile on Concubine Song's face froze. Shouldn't she be throwing herself into her arms and smiling at her right now? Why was she crying?!
This is a little different from what she imagined.
Concubine Song took a few steps back, her face full of disbelief, and she began to stutter, "Don't... don't cry... if you cry, it will be gone..."
There were more tears in Pei Tingyue's eyes, but they didn't fall.
She choked up and said, "I can't bear to leave you, my lady."
The guard on Concubine Song's face dropped. She sighed helplessly and walked over to hug her. "I will come to see you."
Pei Tingyue shook her head, her eyes tinged with red. "Your Majesty is a phoenix soaring in the wild. Your feathers should be spread out in the wind, and you should be breaking through the clouds in the yellow sand. The Northern Frontier is your home, not the capital, not the imperial palace, so please don't come back. I don't want to see the phoenix's wings broken, nor do I want to hear the phoenix's mournful cry."
Concubine Song looked at her like that, and suddenly her eyes also turned red. When she raised her eyes again, she smiled and said, "Okay."
Pei Tingyue nervously grasped her sleeve and spoke incoherently, "We will definitely... see each other again... If there is... if there is a chance... I will definitely ask the emperor... to take me to the northern border..."
"Then I'll be waiting for you." Concubine Song smiled and picked up Tuantuan and raised him up, "Your son will be waiting for you too."
Pei Tingyue wanted to cry again.
She took Tuantuan and held him in her arms.
"These days, I will be Tuan Tuan's mother and use Zhou Zhou in exchange."
Concubine Song burst into laughter.
The two stayed in the hall for a while. Pei Tingyue held Tuan Tuan in her arms and looked at him here and there. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Your Majesty, aren't you taking anything with you?"
Concubine Song lay down on the couch and replied lazily, "Hmm."
Pei Tingyue pointed to the box containing gold and silver and said, "Your Majesty, please take the silver and money with you."
Concubine Song waved her hand: "No, this is not mine."
"Take some with you. It's also handy to have some silver and money."
Concubine Song leaned over and sighed, "If our emperor had withheld military pay like the last emperor, wishing to make the soldiers starve to death, then I would have been a stingy person and would have even taken these glazed tiles. But our emperor is very generous. Every time he gives the soldiers in the Northern Frontier a subsidy, it's a generous amount of silver. The Northern Frontier is not short of money, so I won't take any."
After she said this, Pei Tingyue stopped trying to persuade her.
Among the gold, silver, pearls and jade, there was a big box called Future. She was very curious and opened it while holding Tuantuan.
I was shocked when I opened it.
Concubine, this is...
Have you emptied out the bookstore?
Concubine Song's playful voice came from behind, "These are all my treasures. Look at them carefully and learn from them."
Pei Tingyue turned back in disbelief: "My Queen!"
Concubine Song smiled heartily and said, "Let me remind you again, the one below is more beautiful."
Pei Tingyue: “…”
Her face felt a little hot.
After standing for a long time and playing with Tuantuan for a while, the heat finally subsided.
Pei Tingyue hugged Tuantuan and squeezed onto the couch, sleeping side by side with Concubine Song. She asked softly, "How should we announce your Majesty's departure from the palace?"
Concubine Song opened her eyes and exclaimed, "Good question. I only have a rough plan now, and it will shock you."
Pei Tingyue was curious: "Will it scare me?"
Concubine Song uttered two words firmly: "Escape by death."
Pei Tingyue was shocked: "Then the Queen must..."
Concubine Song continued, "We have to put on a grand show. We'll fake our own death and escape, returning quietly to the northern border."
"Then wouldn't the Empress have to change her identity?"
Concubine Song smiled faintly: "Yes, so I thought of a brilliant idea."
"What method?"
Concubine Song was shameless: "Just say that my father gave birth to twins, and this sister was sent to become a nun because she was weak, so she could avoid trouble. Now she is well again and has returned!"
Pei Tingyue: “…”
It's really not serious at all.
With such martial arts skills and personality, people close to him would probably see through him at once.
But this method is feasible.
Even if someone with ulterior motives had doubts, they couldn't come to Kyoto to investigate. Even if they did, they wouldn't be afraid. The palace said the imperial concubine had passed away, so who would dare to deny it?
Pei Tingyue looked at her eagerly: "How long can the queen stay?"
"It will only be about three months, four or five at most. When this southern tour ends, I will be able to escape."
Pei Tingyue breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, there is still time to adapt slowly.
It would be very painful if the imperial concubine left all of a sudden without giving her any time to recover.
The two were huddled together talking when a deep voice rang out from within the hall, "Pei Tingyue."
Pei Tingyue suddenly came back to his senses, turned around and got off the bed, hugging the newcomer, "Has the emperor left the court?"
Xie Chen pinched her white jade earlobe: "What time is it now?"
Pei Tingyue smiled guiltily.
She accidentally chatted and forgot the time when he left court, so she deliberately changed the subject, "I'm hungry."
Xie Chen responded and led her out of the back hall.
Concubine Song was bewildered by his last look: "What's wrong with you again? Why are you glaring at me?"
I thought about it for a while, but still couldn’t figure it out.
She closed her eyes and fell asleep on the couch.
Although Xiao Si no longer cried at night, he had to wake up twice at regular intervals to be taken to the wet nurse for feeding. He would be awake for more than half an hour each time, and twice for an hour and a half.
She needs to catch up on some sleep!

This side.
Xie Chen took Pei Tingyue into the back hall.
Pei Tingyue looked at his calm expression and felt that he was not very happy today, so she didn't say anything.
The two of them had their meal in silence.
Originally, after dinner, Xie Chen was going to go to the east room to handle government affairs, while Pei Tingyue went to the bedroom to play with Xiao Si for a while, and then did his own things.
Who would have thought that this time Xie Chen would follow Pei Tingyue into the bedroom.
Pei Tingyue put her arm around him and asked, "Is the Emperor coming to see Yuzhou?"
Xie Chen lowered his eyes and looked at her for a while.
Then he pushed her against the wall of the bedroom and asked, "Pei Tingyue, you have a lot of people in your heart."
Pei Tingyue blinked.
This topic was so out of the ordinary that she couldn't react for a moment.
What what?
She has a lot of crushes on people?
How can you tell?
Pei Tingyue's eyes moved slightly. Could it be that he was jealous because he saw how intimate she was with the imperial concubine just now?
She felt a little helpless.
This person has been jealous of this kind of thing before, but I didn't expect him to still be jealous of it now. Is he from a vinegar jar?
Pei Tingyue moved her arms and hooked them around his neck, her eyes filled with pure innocence. "No."
"No?" Xie Chen pressed her closer, his eyes dark. "Just now, I saw you and the Imperial Concubine were very happy. And these days, your mind has been on Xiao Si, not on me at all. Do you still want to quibble?"
Pei Tingyue was really wronged this time.
She only teased Xiao Si a few times every day and spent the rest of the time doing her own things.
But it was not easy to tell him about this, so I had to use Xiao Si as an excuse.
Should she just say directly that she wants to take good care of her figure and come back to seduce him?
