Chapter 370 General's Childhood Sweetheart 22
But Xiyue naturally wouldn't say these words out loud.
She tried her best to ignore the annoying Song Jiao and looked at Pei Lin pitifully: "Knowing that Brother Pei was injured, Xiyue was very worried. I also came here to bring medicine to Brother Pei today..."
After that, she took out the golden medicine she had brought. Fearing that Pei Lin would not accept it, she quickly added, "This is what my father asked me to bring. It will be of great benefit to Brother Pei's injuries!"
Emperor Tianqi did ask someone to deliver medicine to the general's mansion.
Pei Lin took it.
Seeing Pei Lin took the call, Xiyue felt slightly relieved. Then she reached out and gently tugged at Pei Lin's sleeve, saying softly, "Brother Pei, Xiyue still has something to tell you. Can you let Song Jiao leave?"
Song Jiao: “?”
You're flirting with her man in front of her and want her to leave?
How could this princess just dig a hole and go to bed and start daydreaming?
Before Song Jiao could say anything, Pei Lin pulled back his sleeves and said calmly, "Song Jiao is my future wife. She listens to everything I say. Princess, please speak your mind."
Song Jiao looked at the man and couldn't help but smile.
However, Xiyue's eyes turned red with anger at his words. She glanced at Song Jiao, jealousy flashing through her eyes. She asked Pei Lin in a very aggrieved tone: "How can she compare to me? She is not worthy of you at all!"
Xiyue couldn't understand why Pei Lin would refuse his father's arranged marriage for Song Jiao.
She is the most noble princess of Tianqi. Song Jiao is just the daughter of a criminal. After her parents died, she had no one to rely on. But she can bring unlimited bright future to Brother Pei! !
Why did Pei Lin choose Song Jiao but not her!!!
Pei Lin's face darkened. "My affairs with Song Jiao seem to have nothing to do with Princess Xiyue. If you have nothing else to do, please return!"
"How can it be okay?" Princess Xiyue's eyes turned red with anxiety, and her voice was filled with tears: "Brother Pei, Xiyue likes you, I..."
"That's enough!" Pei Lin interrupted Princess Xiyue. He looked at her stunned and aggrieved expression without any sympathy. His tone was as cold as ever: "I will only marry one person in my life, and that is Song Jiao. Please don't say such things again, Princess."
Princess Xiyue was stunned and stared at Pei Lin blankly.
Song Jiao on the side raised his eyelids, feeling no sympathy for her.
"If there is nothing else, Princess Xiyue, please go back." Pei Lin still said the same thing.
He turned around and tried to leave, but before he could take a step, someone suddenly grabbed his sleeve again.
"If..." Xiyue glanced at Song Jiao beside her, resentment and frustration flashing through her eyes. She choked and said, "If... I am willing to let you marry Song Jiao, can you... can you agree to the marriage granted by our father?"
Good job!!
Song Jiao exclaimed, "What a guy!"
It seems that the princess really likes Pei Lin. Even though she hates her so much, she still says such words.
However, for other women, this might be a blessing, but for Song Jiao...she just thought that Princess Xiyue was crazy! !
So, before the man could answer, she walked over and stood in front of Pei Lin: "No."
Song Jiao met Shang Xiyue's resentful and vicious eyes and smiled slightly, "He won't marry you, nor does he want to."
No one can steal her man!!
Pei Lin can only belong to her! !
Upon hearing this, Pei Lin raised his eyes and looked at the petite woman in front of him.
Xiyue was furious and said, "Who do you think you are? Why do you make decisions for Brother Pei?"
How dare a daughter of a guilty minister speak to her like this! !
If it wasn't for Pei Lin's sake, she would have had this woman dragged out and beheaded!
She raised her hand to teach Song Jiao a lesson, but as soon as her hand was raised, it was grabbed by a palm that appeared out of nowhere.
Her wrist was thrown aside. Xiyue looked at Pei Lin in disbelief, her eyes full of sadness: "Brother Pei..."
Pei Lin said calmly, "Song Jiao's meaning is what I mean."
After she finished speaking, Princess Xiyue could no longer hold back her tears.
She looked at the two people standing side by side, stomped her feet in anger, and said bitterly: "Pei Lin! I will make you regret it!!"
After saying that, she turned and ran away.
The attendants who followed her out of the palace quickly saluted Pei Lin and then chased after her.
From beginning to end, Pei Lin's expression did not fluctuate at all, and Princess Xiyue's words did not threaten him at all.
Suddenly, he felt a soft finger poke his arm.
Pei Lin glanced at the woman with a smug and somewhat arrogant face. She said happily: "I didn't expect you to like me so much..."
Not even a princess.
After all, in this dynasty, marrying a princess would be of great help to Pei Lin's future.
If an ordinary person married a princess, it would be a step to heaven.
Pei Lin grabbed her little finger and said nothing.
Instead, he took out something from his arms and put it in her hand.
What's this?
Song Jiao looked into her hand and saw a thin and smooth jade hairpin.
The jade hairpin was snow-white all over, and the head of the hairpin was carved with a flower that Song Jiao didn't recognize, and it looked lifelike.
There is also a tassel pendant, which is cool and elegant, and looks very beautiful.
At just one glance, Song Jiao was stunned.
She asked Pei Lin in surprise and delight: "Is it for me?"
He hummed, his voice low and hoarse: "Do you like it?"
This was the first time Pei Lin gave something to a woman. He saw this hairpin at a stall. It was not expensive, but when he saw it for the first time, he thought it was suitable for Song Jiao, so he bought it.
"like!"
Song Jiao didn't expect that Pei Lin would buy her a gift when he went out, and it was such a beautiful gift!
She held it in her hands and looked at it for a while, then coquettishly tugged at the man's sleeve: "Help me put it on."
Pei Lin took the hairpin handed to him by Song Jiao, and then carefully inserted it into her bunted black hair.
Song Jiao raised her hand and touched it, then looked at Pei Lin with a raised eyebrow: "Does it look good?"
nice.
It was so nice that it touched his heart.
Just as he thought, it was very suitable for Song Jiao.
Seeing the man nod, Song Jiao's mood became even better.
She looked around and saw that there was no one else. Then she stood on tiptoe and touched the corner of Pei Lin's lips: "Brother Lin, you are so kind."
Pei Lin was stunned for a moment. He stared at Song Jiao and whispered, "Don't do this outside next time."
If someone saw it, it would be very bad for her reputation.
What!
He obviously likes it!!
Song Jiao looked at the joy in his eyes and eyebrows, and some beauties were speechless.
However, considering that Pei Lin gave her a hairpin, she didn't bother to argue with him and walked towards the inner hall.
However, after walking for a while, she suddenly had an idea.
etc--
Pei Lin just said that you shouldn’t do this outside next time.
She turned to look at Pei Lin and blinked: "You mean we can just stay indoors next time?"
Pei Lin also looked at her, but did not answer. He reached out and rubbed her head: "Someone will be coming to the mansion tomorrow. Please pick out some cloth and make some new clothes."
Good job!!
Kneading the dog!!
Song Jiao was a little dissatisfied, but didn't say anything. He asked, "Why add more clothes?"
"Three days later, the emperor will hold a celebration banquet for me in the palace. You will come with me."
"oh."
Then I will probably meet Princess Xiyue again.
Song Jiao didn't have any good feelings towards the royal family, but she didn't refuse either.
Sooner or later she will have to get used to these things. After marrying Pei Lin, such things are inevitable.
Song Jiao agreed.
…
The next day.
When Song Jiao woke up, Pei Lin was no longer in the general's mansion.
It's normal for him to be busy since he just came back.
So after finishing breakfast, Song Jiao found a storybook and read it while waiting for the person to come and measure the clothes. There were also exquisite and delicious snacks on the table, which was very enjoyable.
Just as Song Jiao was watching with great interest, Liu Bo walked in and said, "Miss."
Song Jiao put down the book in his hand and asked, "What's wrong? Has the person who measured the clothes come?"
"No," said Liu Bo, "a servant came to tell me there's a girl outside looking for you. She says her name is Xiao Qi."
Xiao Qi!!
Song Jiao's eyes lit up.
After returning to the capital, she was taken to the general's mansion. However, when she asked Qu Ziming about Xiaoqi's situation, Qu Ziming told her that Xiaoqi had already returned home.
Xiaoqi is the first girl Song Jiao met and his first friend when he came to this world.
So she felt a little disappointed when Xiaoqi left without saying goodbye to her, but she could understand it when she thought that she was going back to see her parents.
Unexpectedly, she would come to see her again. Song Jiao quickly said to Uncle Liu: "Uncle Liu, Xiao Qi is my friend. Please let her in."
Uncle Liu: "Yes."
Then he sent someone to pass the order down.
Sure enough, after a while, Song Jiao saw a familiar figure walking in with the servants.
Song Jiao happily went to greet him.
"Miss Song." Xiao Qi bowed to her.
Song Jiao helped her up and asked with concern: "Why are you here? Have you seen your parents?"
Xiao Qi smiled and nodded: "They are very happy to see my father and mother. They also want to thank Miss Song for saving their lives and giving them money..."
After she came back and before leaving, Qu Ziming stuffed some silver and money into her pocket, saying that every soldier had one.
But Xiao Qi knew in her heart that this money was probably what Song Jiao asked Pei Lin to give her, because she was a woman disguised as a man to enter the military camp and did not receive this standard money.
Thinking of this, she suddenly knelt down towards Song Jiao: "Miss Song..."
Song Jiao was startled by her action, and then quickly helped her up: "What are you doing?"
Xiao Qi couldn't get up, but looked up at Song Jiao and bit her lip: "Miss Song, can you let Xiao Qi follow you?"
Hearing this, Song Jiao was slightly stunned: "Follow me?"
Xiao Qi nodded, looking at her expectantly with bright eyes: "Xiao Qi wants to be by your side, and is willing to be your slave..."
Song Jiao naturally wouldn't treat Xiao Qi as a slave. She asked, "Aren't you going home to be with your parents?"
"My parents are fine. They know that I learned about Miss Song's help in the military camp and are very grateful to you. So they knew and agreed to my visit this time..."
In that case...
Song Jiao turned to look at Uncle Liu and blinked: "Uncle Liu, it shouldn't be a problem for the General's Mansion to support one more person, right?"
Xiao Qi, who was kneeling on the ground, showed surprise on his face when he heard this.
"Of course there is no problem." Liu Bo replied with a smile.
Song Jiao reached out and helped Xiao Qi up, smiling and said, "Then when Pei Lin comes back, I'll tell him to keep you. You..."
Unexpectedly, before Song Jiao could finish her words, Xiao Qi, whose arm was touched by her, suddenly hissed softly.
Although the voice was small, Song Jiao still heard it. She quickly lifted Xiao Qi's sleeve slightly: "What's wrong? I hurt--"
Her words suddenly stopped.
His eyes fell on Xiao Qi's skin covered with purple bruises, and he was completely shocked.
Uncle Liu next to him was also stunned.
"You...what's going on?"
Xiao Qi's eyes flashed, and he quickly pulled his hand back: "Miss Song, I'm fine. I just accidentally fell on the way here and bumped my hand."
Song Jiao couldn't help but look up at her: "Then you are too careless."
She let go of Xiaoqi's hand and asked Feicui to go find a doctor in the mansion to check it out.
Xiao Qi tried to stop him, but it was of no use.
Just then, the person who was measuring the clothes also arrived.
Uncle Liu spoke up and advised, "Miss Song, let the doctor see Miss Qi. Otherwise, you can go and pick out the cloth first."
She really couldn't help much here. She looked at the horrific wound on Xiaoqi's hand and nodded.
He said something to Xiao Qi and asked Feicui to watch over him before leaving with Uncle Liu.
However, when she saw the cloth they had brought, she couldn't help but be stunned: "So many?"
Not only that, there were also some rouge, powder and head ornaments, all for her.
Uncle Liu smiled and said, "Girl, just pick what you like, just like having a meal."
Good job!
This can also be used for comparison.
Song Jiao couldn't help but touch it. The fabric was smooth and the color was very beautiful.
The price must be nice too.
Finally, Song Jiao carefully selected some to keep, and had the rest taken back.
Someone else took her measurements so she could have new clothes custom-made.
After everything was done, Song Jiao prepared to go and see how Xiaoqi was doing.
Seeing this, Liu Bo, who was standing by, looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Seeing this, Song Jiao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Uncle Liu, just say whatever you want to say."
Liu Bo looked at Song Jiao and sighed: "In that case..."
"Miss Song, I wanted to ask how you and Miss Xiaoqi met..." He paused, and as if afraid that Song Jiao might overthink things, he quickly added, "Don't misunderstand me, I'm not trying to pry into your privacy."
"I know." Song Jiao naturally knew that Liu Bochu must have something wrong when he said such a thing.
Liu Bo is Pei Lin's man and will not harm her.
So Song Jiao told Liu Bo about Xiao Qi's joining the army in place of his father and what happened in the barracks.
After that, she smiled and looked at Liu Bo: "Do you think Xiao Qi is suspicious? The wound on her arm is not from a fall."
Uncle Liu nodded and replied, "Yes, I think the wound on Miss Xiaoqi's arm looks more like she was beaten..."
Typed out?
Song Jiao's eyes flashed with thought, but he didn't say anything.
Uncle Liu looked at Song Jiao's expression and continued, "I've seen some high-ranking officials abuse their servants before. The injuries on those servants are very similar to the ones on Miss Xiaoqi's arm..."
