Chapter 382: Confusion of right and wrong
Pei Xuanyi's attitude was a little cold. Zhao Zemo thought in his heart, but found that behind Pei Xuanyi, there was actually a little girl, Qin Xixi, who was holding three tokens in her hand that night.
I had heard that Qin Xixi had a close relationship with the royal family, especially Pei Xuanyi.
So the rumor was true, and the tokens in Qin Xixi's hand were indeed given to her by the royal family.
Zhao Zemo glanced at Qin Xixi standing next to Pei Xuanyi, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
It seems that they regarded Pei Xuanyi as a rescuer, thinking that he could help rescue Wen Yanya.
How naive, even if Pei Xuanyi was the little grandson of the emperor and was willing to help them, what would it matter? If Zhao Zemo didn't let go, could those people really snatch her from him?
Pei Xuanyi saw Zhao Zemo's disdainful look and knew that he had guessed his purpose.
But he didn't care. Whether Zhao Zemo knew it or not would not affect his next actions.
Without saying hello to Zhao Zemo, Pei Xuanyi told him his purpose as soon as he arrived.
He smiled slightly.
"Master Zhao, I heard that you found a beauty recently, and I came here specially to visit you. I admire this beauty very much, and I want to take her back to be my maid. I wonder if Master Zhao is willing to give her up?"
Zhao Zemo's face darkened when he heard this.
He knew that Pei Xuanyi was deliberately provoking him, and he refused to even pretend to be harmonious on the surface, and attacked him as soon as he came.
But Pei Xuanyi was the little grandson of the emperor after all, and Zhao Zemo did not want to break up with Pei Xuanyi on this occasion.
So, Zhao Zemo said lightly.
"Mr. Pei, this beauty means a lot to me, and I really can't give her up."
Zhao Zemo's expression was very wonderful, making others think that Pei Xuanyi was a very rude person who wanted to snatch his favorite away.
Xiao Xixi had been watching the excitement on the side, but when she heard that Zhao Zemo was so shameless, she couldn't help but curse in her heart.
[Oh my God, Sister Wen is obviously the eldest brother's favorite, Zhao Zemo can actually confuse right and wrong like this! 】
Zhao Zemo didn't want to offend Pei Xuanyi directly, but took a step back and said.
"However, I can prepare other beauties as maids for Master Pei, and I promise not to disappoint Master Pei."
After Zhao Zemo said this, Xiao Xixi became even more angry? Did Zhao Zemo think that Pei Xuanyi was the same person as him?
[Damn Zhao Zemo, he likes beauties, does he think that all men in the world like beauties? 】
Pei Xuanyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard Xixi's words.
He shook his head at Zhao Zemo and said with a very firm attitude.
"Master Zhao, other beauties are good, but this beauty is the one I want the most. And..."
Pei Xuanyi paused for a moment, looked at Zhao Zemo thoughtfully, and said meaningfully.
"I have not been feeling well recently, and I miss the cuisine of my mother's hometown very much. I heard earlier that this beauty is a chef from that place, and maybe the dishes she cooks can increase my appetite..."
"So, I specifically asked Master Qin to find such a chef, but I never thought that this chef was caught by Master Zhao as soon as he entered Beijing!"
Pei Xuanyi said this seriously, as if it was really the case, and Wen Yanya was the chef he found.
"I am very disappointed, but I really want to ask Mr. Zhao to take the cook back, so I have already told the emperor about this. After hearing it, the emperor asked me to take her back."
Everyone knows that the current emperor particularly favors Pei Xuanyi and almost always responds to his requests. Therefore, it is not difficult to let him take the cook back from Zhao Zemo. The
people around were so angry that they dared not breathe a word. In fact, they had already believed Pei Xuanyi's words in their hearts. After all, the little prince was not very old and was not at the stage of competing with Zhao Zemo for the beauty.
On the contrary, Zhao Zemo even wanted to bring back the chef hired by Pei Xuanyi. He was so greedy that he didn't care about food...
Zhao Zemo was furious when he heard this. He knew that Pei Xuanyi was deliberately provoking him, and he even brought up the emperor to pressure him. He took a deep breath and tried to stay calm. He
knew that Pei Xuanyi was going to help the Qin family deal with him and take Wen Yanya back, but he didn't expect that the strategy they adopted was not to use power to suppress people, but to make up stories!
They told a completely unrealistic story, but no one believed it. It was really well calculated!
"Your Highness, what do you mean? When did I catch your chef? You are clearly slandering me!" Zhao Zemo said coldly.
Pei Xuanyi remained unmoved, and continued, "Why are you angry, Mr. Zhao? I'm just stating the facts. If Mr. Zhao is unwilling to hand over this beauty, then I will have to ask the emperor to resolve it personally."
Zhao Zemo's heart tightened, he knew that Pei Xuanyi was forcing him to submit. He took a deep breath and said, "Why is Mr. Pei so aggressive? This beauty means a lot to me, I can't hand her over to you."
"Your Highness, don't push me too hard. It's hard to give up the one you love, but there are many chefs in my hometown. At worst, I can hire another one for you."
Pei Xuanyi shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhao is really generous, but I only want this beauty. Moreover, the emperor has already known about this matter, and he asked me to discuss it with you. If you are unwilling to hand over this beauty, and still say that, then I can only ask the emperor to solve it personally."
Zhao Zemo was panicked when he heard this. He knew that if the emperor really intervened in this matter, he would really have no way out. He looked at Qin Qixuan and Qin Xixi standing beside him, and became even more irritated.
Pei Xuanyi seemed to see the impatience in Zhao Zemo's heart. He cleared his throat and proposed a roundabout solution.
"That chef is the heir of my mother's favorite cuisine. This person is very rare. I don't want him to flow into the public, and I still want to keep him with me. If Mr. Zhao really can't bear to part with him, then ask the guards to bring four beauties to exchange for this one in Mr. Zhao's mansion."
Four for one, it sounds like Zhao Zemo got a bargain. But Zhao Zemo didn't think so. Instead, he felt that the Qin family and Pei Xuanyi were really cunning.
"You are lying with your eyes open. When did I take your chef away? How could that man be your chef!"
Zhao Zemo was very angry, but the person in front of him was the little grandson of the emperor. Even if he was angry, he could not offend the little grandson of the emperor.
If you speak ill of the young grandson now, it means you are disrespecting the royal family. Even if Zhao Zemo is from the Jinnan Palace, he will inevitably be punished.
Therefore, the most terrifying thing now is not the power of the young grandson, but his identity as a member of the royal family.
