Chapter 248 The Prince's Wife
Jiang Fei's eyes suddenly became warm.
She stared at Pei Jing, looking at the light reflected in his eyes.
The light contained a vision of the future, and every word carried a scorching temperature that burned her heart.
He actually thought about so much, from the phoenix robe to the imperial mausoleum, from black hair to white hair, and even the next life was included.
But what about her? She didn't even know if she could stay, or if she would suddenly disappear one day. She didn't know whether she could accompany him to the end of his imaginary misty rain in the south and snow in the north, or his promise of sharing the same bed in life and death.
Maybe it is just an episode in this long period of time, which will disappear with the wind.
My heart felt like it was blocked by something, it was sour and bitter, but I couldn't say a word.
Jiang Fei could only hug him tightly, burying her face in the crook of his neck, and said in a trembling voice, "Okay."
Pei Jing didn't notice her strange behavior. He tilted his head and kissed her on the forehead. "It's settled."
The two chatted for half the night and fell into a deep sleep only when it was bright.
It was almost noon when Duan Jiu finally managed to knock on the door. "Your Highness, the Emperor has sent someone to wait in the hall, asking why you didn't go to court this morning."
Pei Jing was woken up. He hadn't slept for long and was too sleepy to open his eyes. He subconsciously pulled Jiang Fei into his arms, put his hands over her ears, and said to the outside in a daze:
"If you don't want to go, just say that I have to sleep with Xiao Cui."
Duan Jiu's mouth twitched as he heard this outside. How could he convey this message?
But since the prince had spoken, he had no choice but to agree and turned to go to the front hall to reply.
When the eunuch saw Duan Jiu coming, he stood up and asked, "Guard Duan, what's going on, Your Majesty..."
Duan Jiu cleared his throat and tried to sound normal. "My dear father-in-law, my prince said that he can't go today and has to stay at home with Xiao Cui."
After removing the word "sleep", it can finally be put on the table.
The father-in-law was stunned for a moment, "Xiao Cui?"
"She is my prince's wife."
The eunuch didn't dare to ask any more questions and could only return to the palace with the words in his heart.
A meeting was going on in the hall. Emperor Zhaowen sat upright on the dragon throne, listening to reports from court officials. His eyes swept across the doorway and he saw a eunuch groping his way in.
"Have you asked? Is Prince Zhaoning ill?"
The eunuch stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I asked, and Prince Zhaoning said... that he had to stay home with Xiao Cui today."
"Xiao Cui?"
"Yes, the prince's wife."
Emperor Zhaowen: “…”
Normally, it would be fine for Pei Jing to show his affection when talking to him, but today, when someone else asked him why he was absent from work, he was still being told to show his affection.
The civil and military officials in the hall were in an uproar, but for the sake of the emperor's face, they kept their doubts to themselves.
It seems that King Zhaoning is not crazy, and he really has someone dear to his heart. But why does the name Xiao Cui sound like a country girl?
There is also the silk thread that Prince Zhaoning always carries with him. It is woven like a ball of thread, and I think it is also the work of this "Xiao Cui".
…
The two of them slept until the afternoon, and after dinner, Pei Jing said he wanted to go out.
Jiang Fei followed in silently and saw Pei Jing rummaging through his outer robe. "It's already afternoon, where are you going?"
Pei Jing glanced towards the window unconsciously, with his back to Jiang Fei and without looking back, "Something happened, I have to go out."
Jiang Fei walked around to him, took a look at his expression, and said knowingly, "You want to go find Wei Mingzhen again, right?"
Pei Jing was exposed by her, so he simply stopped trying to hide it. "He used such despicable tricks to sow discord between us. Shouldn't I be holding him accountable?"
He snorted coldly, "The wounds from my last punishment haven't even fully healed yet, and yet he dares to have evil thoughts again. This guy won't stop. If I don't teach him a lesson, who knows what even more outrageous things he might do in the future."
"Don't go." Jiang Fei hooked his belt.
Pei Jing lowered his head and took a look. This action was intimate and a bit playful. If it happened under normal circumstances, it would have made him happy for half a day.
But the current situation is a naked obstruction, and it is clear that they don't want him to cause trouble for Wei Mingzhen.
Pei Jing's heart, which had been sweet since last night, suddenly became restless. "You protect him."
Jiang Fei snorted, this guy was really jealous and his supply of vinegar was inexhaustible. It was enough for him to open a vinegar factory.
"You're still 'tsk'ing me." Pei Jing frowned and said.
Jiang Fei almost laughed at that little expression, and it was clearly written in his eyes that you don’t love me.
Jiang Fei pulled his belt towards her, but the man stood still like a mountain.
She had no choice but to step forward and put her arms around his waist. "It's no use looking for him. He didn't do this."
"If not him, who else could it be?" Pei Jing asked again, "Did he tell you that himself?"
Jiang Fei said: "When I questioned him about this matter, Wei Mingzhen's expression was so real that I felt like he couldn't fake it."
Hearing this, Pei Jing's brows didn't relax, but he became jealous. "You actually looked at him so closely, I'm jealous."
Jiang Fei was amused by his straightforwardness, "Let's talk business."
Pei Jing said "Oh", "Okay, let's get down to business. What do you think?"
"I guess it might be Wei Ciying," Jiang Fei pondered. "Wei Mingzhen didn't refute it at the time. I can't imagine who he would cover up for."
Pei Jing twirled his fingertips, feeling his hands itching again. "This woman is so annoying. Can I kill her?"
Then he immediately changed his words, "It's okay if you don't want me to kill anyone. I'll send her to the border so she won't be an eyesore in the capital."
"Wait a little longer." Jiang Fei held his hand. "After a few days, someone will take her away. By then, she won't bother us anymore."
Pei Jing's anger gradually subsided. He had a rare moment of free time these days. "How about I take you out for a walk?"
Jiang Fei shook her head, "I don't want to go. My waist is sore and my legs are weak."
Pei Jing showed no restraint last night, but now he felt a little distressed. He went over and rubbed her waist with very gentle force.
Jiang Fei casually opened the window and saw Wen Zhu kneeling in the corridor listening to a lecture.
"What did I teach you in the past?" Duan Jiu said loudly, "Misfortune comes from the mouth! Too much talk leads to mistakes! How can you just gossip about the masters' affairs? I just told you a few days ago to be careful with your words and actions, and you forgot it right away?"
Wen Zhu slumped his shoulders and lowered his head, "I know I was wrong."
Duan Jiu quickly glanced at Pei Jing and Jiang Fei by the window, and said in a harsher tone, "What's wrong? It's because you can't control your mouth, it's because you can't distinguish between the important and the unimportant, and it's because you don't take the master's rules seriously!"
Pei Jing hugged Jiang Fei from behind and leaned against the window, supporting his forehead with one hand, looking at the scene in the corridor with interest, and whispered in Jiang Fei's ear.
"See? This is for us to see. It's an old trick. Just watch it for a while."
Jiang Fei looked at Duan Jiu scolding someone and couldn't help but smile, "She is a good brother. She punished the person first, so you don't have to pursue it any further."
Pei Jing raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Wen Zhu has a lively personality. It's all because of him, as her brother, spoiling her."
"That's also with your tacit consent." Jiang Fei finished speaking, and suddenly turned to look at Pei Jing, "I don't think Duan Jiu's temperament is that stable either. Sometimes he can be as lively as others. Is it because of you that he got into this?"
