Chapter 189 The King Wants to Fight Back
Pei Jing returned to the palace with excitement and confusion, and was puzzled.
Duan Jiu just felt that tonight was particularly strange.
In the past, the prince would be in a very good mood after meeting Miss Jiang Er, but tonight, since leaving Jiang Mansion, he has been very silent all the way and didn't even say a word.
It was already late at night, but Pei Jing was still sitting in the room, showing no sign of going to sleep.
Duan Jiu couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, it's time to go to bed."
Pei Jing came back to his senses, a blank look flashed across his face for a moment, and then he said unnaturally: "She wants to sleep with me."
Duan Jiu was stunned by this sudden remark. It took him a while to react and he said cautiously, "Your Highness is talking about... Miss Jiang Er?"
Pei Jing glanced at him coldly, "Of course, she said it herself."
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"Not very good." Pei Jing frowned. "What's the reason if someone doesn't want to be married in name only, but wants to be married in reality?"
"ah?"
"When the king asks you a question, just answer it."
Duan Jiu shrank his neck and racked his brains, saying, "Well... I think there are probably two possibilities.
"explain."
"The first type is that the woman has no true feelings for the man and is just looking for a momentary pleasure."
Before Duan Jiu finished speaking, he immediately felt the pressure around Pei Jing suddenly drop, and quickly added, "Of course! Miss Jiang Er is definitely not that kind of person!"
Pei Jing tapped the table with his knuckles. "The second one?"
"The second type..." Duan Jiu swallowed and said guiltily, "The second type is probably because you have some unspeakable secret? Do you want to cherish the present moment?"
Pei Jing frowned, and after a while, he suddenly said, "Go and get that book for me."
"Which one?"
"One Hundred and Eight Ways to Chase the Prince."
Duan Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought to himself that he finally had to read this book. Every time he read a book before, he would get angry, and his life as a guard would also be difficult.
Duan Jiu quickly found the book from the bookshelf and asked, "Your Highness, have memorized this book, right?"
Pei Jing took it and opened it, saying, "This time is different. I want her and her sincerity. Since she can use tricks on me, can't I use them too?"
"Ah?" Duan Jiu was a little confused. "A trick?"
"Of course." Pei Jing's tone became lighter. He opened the book and said, "When I read it before, it was about how to defend. Now I read it again, it is about how to attack. I am defeated by these strategies, so Xiao Cui will probably find it difficult to resist."
…
The west wing was rearranged just yesterday, and Yao's maid came early the next morning, saying that she wanted to ask Jiang Fei to come over.
Jiang Fei didn't know what Yao was up to, so she went there after breakfast, and ended up running into Yao halfway.
"What does mother want from me?"
Yao is now scared when she sees Jiang Rufei.
I had thought that once she got married, this hot potato would be the Wei family's business. However, before she got married, King Zhaoning kidnapped her and sent her back, and they had to serve her well.
The people in the mansion had heard about what was spread outside, but they saw it with their own eyes. Since Jiang Fei had climbed up this big tree, it would not be a bad thing to establish a good relationship with her.
Yao's smile was stiff. "It's like this. I think your yard is a bit shabby. Your sister Rulin is getting married, and I've had her yard cleaned up. Go take a look and tell me if you need anything."
Jiang Fei stopped and asked, "You are looking for me just because of this? That's not necessary."
"Why are you so estranged from me, child?" Yao's eyes drifted to the side. "I was a little strict with you before, but think about it, a loving mother often spoils her child. I was doing it for your own good."
Jiang Fei remained calm and watched Yao argue.
"...Your sister is soft-hearted, so I won't focus on her. But you're different. I hope you can stand firm and not be bullied in the future..."
Suddenly, a figure flashed by in the corner of my eye, jogging in from the door, and after seeing them, turned around and ran out again. It was Jiang Chenglang, whom I hadn't seen for many days.
"Jiang Chenglang." Jiang Fei called out to him.
Jiang Chenglang paused and ran faster.
Jiang Fei quickly caught up with him and grabbed him by the back of his collar, "Why are you running? You didn't even call for help when you saw me?"
Jiang Chenglang struggled a bit, but when he couldn't get free, he turned his face away and said, "Humph, I won't play with a liar like you!"
Jiang Fei was stunned. "What did I lie to you about?"
"I agreed to give it to you as a dowry." Jiang Chenglang stamped his feet in anger, "You all left without even calling me."
As he spoke, his eyes became red.
Jiang Fei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Look, I haven't even gotten married yet, how can I let you be my dowry?"
Jiang Chenglang sobbed and looked up, "When are you getting married?"
"I won't marry you anymore. I'll take care of you at home from now on!"
Jiang Chenglang's eyes lit up, and then he looked at her warily, "What about the prince's brother-in-law?"
Jiang Fei pinched his fat face and said, "He just gave you a few snacks and coaxed you into this."
Jiang Chenglang rubbed his face and said, "I don't like my third brother-in-law. He told me to study hard. The prince's brother-in-law said I was growing and told me to eat more."
Jiang Fei laughed, "Then he really deserves a beating."
…
On the other side, Pei Jing was studying the 108 moves when Duan Jiu came in with a food box.
"Your Highness, these are the snacks that the chef made this morning that the young lady likes to eat. Please see if you need anything else." Duan Jiu pretended to open it.
"No need." Pei Jing stopped him. "It will cool down quickly if it's left open. Have someone send it over while it's still hot. Ask her if she needs anything and we'll make it later."
Duan Jiu agreed and was about to go out when Pei Jing called him back.
"Wait." Pei Jing looked up, "Prepare some of the little fat boy's favorite foods for him."
"But I don't know what the young master likes to eat."
"He loves to eat anything he can eat. He's not picky."
Duan Jiu arranged things and returned to the room. Pei Jing was still sitting behind the table reading.
"Your Highness, have you thought about your next plan?" Duan Jiu asked.
"This king studied all night last night and has a plan."
"That's great." Duan Jiu's eyes lit up. The prince was indeed the prince. As long as he took action this time, Marquis Dingyuan and the eldest prince would definitely not be his opponents.
Pei Jing then slowly flipped back a few pages of the book in his hand and said solemnly, "If I use something she has used before, it will easily arouse suspicion. Naturally, I have to use a trick I haven't used before. I think this trick is good."
Duan Jiu: "..." Is that what I'm talking about? I'm asking about the plan to deal with the eldest prince and Marquis Dingyuan!
He, the guard, was extremely anxious, but the master was calm and collected, watching what the hell was going on.
Duan Jiu leaned over and saw the following words written on the book:
The sachet-dropping plan - create an accidental encounter, pass by him with the sachet in hand, and deliberately let the sachet drop accidentally. Wait for him to pick up the sachet and return it, then take the opportunity to invite him to the wine shop to express your gratitude.
Pei Jing finished reading and then changed the subject, "But what if I never use the sachet?"
Duan Jiu was helpless, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "A purse will do, it looks similar to a sachet."
"That makes sense." Pei Jing nodded, "But you have to find out when she goes out first."
"That's easy. Just ask Wen Zhu to call the young lady out."

I made a half-cooked meal yesterday. I guess it won’t be long before we two get together, but I can’t estimate the number of words. It should be within ten days.
