Pei Jinxiao stood at one side and quickly showed his concern for Sheng Hongxiao: "Second Young Master, do you need anything else? I'll ask my servant to bring it to the mansion."
Sheng Hongxiao nodded slightly, a hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes, but he still maintained a calm attitude: "Thank you for your concern, Lord Pei, I just need to rest for a while. As for the affairs of Sheng Mansion, I still need to trouble you to take care of them."
Sheng Yunrong stood beside Sheng Hongxiao, looking at her second brother's pale face with worry, and couldn't help sighing. She turned to look at Pei Jinxiao, her eyes revealing a look of help: "Prince Pei, you see that my second brother is so weak, is there any way to make him recover as soon as possible?"
Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly, his eyes full of concern: "Don't worry, Miss, I will do my best. There is a miracle doctor in Western Wei who is good at treating all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases. I will send someone to invite him here immediately."
As he spoke, Pei Jinxiao clapped his hands, and the two followers immediately ran out. Sheng Yunrong looked at Pei Jinxiao's back, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
After a while, the doctor came to Sheng's house and took Sheng Hongxiao's pulse. After a careful examination, the doctor prescribed medicine and said, "The second young master's condition is not serious. He only needs to take the medicine on time and rest for a few days to recover."
After hearing this, Sheng Yunrong finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Pei Jinxiao, her gratitude overflowing with words: "Your Majesty, your great kindness and kindness are something that the whole family is grateful for."
Pei Jinxiao smiled and shook his head: "Miss, you are too polite. The Sheng Mansion and my Pei family have a deep friendship, so I will naturally help you to the utmost."
Sheng Hongxiao was lying on the bed, watching Pei Jinxiao talking to Sheng Yunrong, and he couldn't help but feel deeply moved. He knew very well that Pei Jinxiao's help this time was not only because of the friendship between the Sheng Mansion and the Pei Family, but also because of Sheng Yunrong.
At night, the Sheng Mansion was brightly lit, and Sheng Yunrong took care of Sheng Hongxiao personally. She watched her second brother gradually get better, and her heart was filled with joy. At this time, Pei Jinxiao walked in, and seeing Sheng Yunrong's busy figure, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Miss, you care so much about the second young master, no wonder he got well soon."
Sheng Yunrong raised her head and looked at Pei Jinxiao, a hint of shyness flashed in her eyes: "Prince, you misunderstood, I am just worried about the effect of my second brother's medicine."
Pei Jinxiao smiled gently, walked to Sheng Yunrong, and whispered: "Miss, I have something to ask of you. I wonder if you can agree to it?"
Sheng Yunrong was slightly stunned. Looking at Pei Jinxiao's serious eyes, she couldn't help but get nervous: "Please go ahead."
Pei Jinxiao took a deep breath, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "I would like to ask the eldest lady to help persuade the Sheng family to support the plan of marriage between Western Wei and neighboring countries."
Sheng Yunrong's eyes widened. She didn't expect Pei Jinxiao to make such a request. She pondered for a moment and said slowly, "My Lord, do you know what the marriage plan means?"
Pei Jinxiao's eyes flashed with a trace of solemnity: "I know that this means that Western Wei will marry the princess to the king of the neighboring country in exchange for peace between the two countries. But I believe that this is the best choice for Western Wei."
Sheng Yunrong looked at Pei Jinxiao and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Such a wise and brave man would actually be willing to sacrifice his relatives for the benefit of Western Wei. She nodded gently: "Your Highness, I understand. I will do my best to convince the Sheng family to support this strategy."
…
Pei Jinxiao stood at one side and quickly showed his concern for Sheng Hongxiao: "Second Young Master, do you need anything else? I'll ask my servant to bring it to the mansion."
Sheng Yunrong looked at Pei Jinxiao in front of her, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She smiled slightly and broke the silence: "Mr. Pei, my second brother only suffered some minor injuries. There is no need to trouble you so much." After that, she turned her head and her eyes fell gently on Sheng Hongxiao.
Sheng Hongxiao was lying on a couch at this time, his face pale, but his eyes were still firm. Hearing his sister's words, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a comforting smile: "Yes, Mr. Pei, I'm fine, it's just a flesh wound, it's nothing."
Pei Jinxiao watched the interaction between Sheng Yunrong and Sheng Hongxiao, and couldn't help but sigh: The brother-sister relationship in the Sheng family is really enviable. He coughed lightly and changed the subject: "Miss Sheng, I heard that you are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I wonder if I can have the honor to see your style?"
Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, with a hint of pride in her eyes: "Mr. Pei, thank you for your praise. I am sorry to show you my poor performance." After that, she walked to the guqin beside her, sat down gently, and gently plucked the strings with her fingers, and a song "High Mountains and Flowing Water" started leisurely.
The sound of the piano was like a spring, flowing gently, and Pei Jinxiao could not help but be intoxicated by it. He looked at Sheng Yunrong's focused expression, and a sense of respect surged in his heart. Sheng Hongxiao smiled at his sister with a doting look on his face.
After the song ended, Sheng Yunrong stood up gently and bowed to Pei Jinxiao: "Mr. Pei, I don't play the piano well, please forgive me."
Pei Jinxiao hurriedly responded, "Miss Sheng is too modest. This song has a long-lasting charm and is memorable. My skills are extraordinary and admirable."
Sheng Yunrong blushed slightly, smiled with her hands covering her mouth, turned to Sheng Hongxiao and said, "Second brother, how about you also do a sword dance?"
A hint of excitement flashed in Sheng Hongxiao's eyes. He was about to stand up, but Pei Jinxiao got there first: "Second Young Master Sheng, I will dance with the sword for you."
Sheng Hongxiao was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Master Pei."
Pei Jinxiao took the sword beside him and shook it gently, the sword moving like a dragon. He was agile and his swordsmanship was as smooth as flowing water. For a moment, the hall of Sheng Mansion was filled with flashing swords and a lively atmosphere.
After finishing the sword dance, Pei Jinxiao put away his sword and bowed to Sheng Hongxiao: "Second Young Master Sheng, how was my dance?"
Sheng Hongxiao laughed and clapped his hands, saying, "Great swordsmanship! Master Pei is indeed worthy of his reputation."
Sheng Yunrong also praised: "Mr. Pei's sword dance is wonderful and breathtaking."
The three of them were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious. At this time, a servant came running over with a letter in his hand: "Miss, this is a letter from the palace, saying that there is an emergency and you need to come to the palace immediately."
Sheng Yunrong took the letter, her expression changed slightly. She opened the envelope, read it quickly, and then said to Pei Jinxiao and Sheng Hongxiao: "The palace has an urgent summons, I must go to the palace immediately. Second brother, Master Pei, you wait here for a moment, I will be back soon."
Sheng Hongxiao and Pei Jinxiao looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.
Night fell. The hall of Sheng Mansion was brightly lit, and Sheng Hongxiao and Pei Jinxiao were anxiously waiting for news from Sheng Yunrong. Suddenly, a servant came running over with a letter in his hand: "Second Master, there's a letter from the eldest lady!"
Sheng Hongxiao took the letter and opened it hastily. It said, "I have returned to the palace safely. This urgent summons is because the emperor has something to discuss. Don't worry, I will be back soon."
Sheng Hongxiao breathed a sigh of relief and handed the letter to Pei Jinxiao. Pei Jinxiao finished reading the letter and smiled slightly: "It seems that Miss Sheng is fine in the palace, we don't need to worry too much."
