Chapter 134 Pei Yan thinks Jiang Shuyi is free
"I carried the baby for ten months and went through the gates of hell to give birth to him. Even if I don't like him and don't want to raise him, I can't let him recognize someone else as his mother. I get angry when I think that Pei Yu will treat me the same way as other concubines in the future!"
Jiang Shuyi sounded aggrieved. Pei Yan held her on his knees, rubbed her cheeks, and asked with lowered eyes, "What should we do? Kill him? He won't get close to others in the future."
Jiang Shuyi coughed twice out of nowhere.
"Well, it's not that bad..."
She turned around and buried her face in Pei Yan's arms, to prevent their eyes from meeting and revealing her thoughts. She said in a tangled tone, "Why don't I send Yuzhu to take care of Pei Yu? When Pei Yu grows up, he won't treat me badly for Yuzhu's sake, right?"
Pei Yan knew that she had been daydreaming recently. She had just killed a "ghost" and started to worry about what would happen more than ten years later.
Perhaps it was because she had too much free time. In the past, Jiang Shuyi had been involved in conflicts, so her mind was very simple. Apart from coming to him to learn poetry and books every day, she was enthusiastically planning those straightforward and clumsy frame-ups, and her life was very fulfilling.
Now that both the Xue and Wu families are defeated, and the Queen is no match for Jiang Shuyi, she has nothing to do and has many worries.
Pei Yan planned to let her pick up her lessons, as she would not be able to take care of many things because she was busy studying every day. However, her worries today were somewhat reasonable and needed to be resolved first.
"Yes, anyway, Pei Yu was sent away from you by me. When he grows up, you can let Yuzhu tell him that you really want to raise him, but I forcibly separated the heir and his biological mother to prevent foreign relatives from interfering in politics. You were worried about him, so you sent Yuzhu to serve him. This way, he will be afraid of me, but will feel guilty and miss you."
Hearing that he was wholeheartedly planning for herself, Jiang Shuyi almost couldn't hold back her tears again.
She hugged Pei Yan tightly, rubbed him, and told the truth while acting coquettishly: "Your Majesty is so good, I like Your Majesty, I like you so much, I envy the kind of love that only mandarin ducks can have!"
Pei Yan was used to her sweet words, but at this moment he couldn't help feeling happy.
He rubbed the back of Jiang Shuyi's neck and said gently, "Minus one day."
What is minus one day?
Jiang Shuyi looked up at him blankly, and when she met his warm eyes, she wanted to kiss him without thinking. But when she moved forward and his mouth was covered, she suddenly remembered that she had tried to anger Pei Yan yesterday but failed, and he had forbidden her to be intimate with him for three days.
She immediately opened her watery almond eyes and sobbed under his palm: "Your Majesty is the most important person to me. If Your Majesty wants to do something, I will definitely not be willing to refuse. Your Majesty should also regard me as the most important person, right?"
Pei Yan smiled and said, "It's not impossible for you to reduce it by one more day."
Jiang Shuyi's eyes sparkled.
Pei Yan: "I think you have been idle recently. Today, recite ten poems before lunch, copy them before dinner, and recite two of them. I will do as you wish tonight."
Jiang Shuyi was silent for a moment, then slowly took his hand away, blinked at him, coughed twice and said, "Actually, I don't think so. Your Majesty should take care of your health. I have something to tell Yuzhu, so I'll take my leave now."
Pei Yan looked at her with a smile on his face.

"Yuzhu, you have to take good care of yourself. I can't take care of myself, so I can't take care of you. You have to be well when you are not with me. If you are wronged, go to Zhaoyang Palace and cry."
Jiang Shuyi held Yuzhu's hand, and while giving her instructions in a hypocritical manner with her eyes pursed, she secretly glanced at Pei Yan.
Pei Yan pretended not to hear and selected poems for her to read today.
She must have been a lot lazier to pick up what she had learned before, so Pei Yan picked out seven short poems, and the remaining three were slightly longer articles by famous writers, so it was not difficult for her.
After Jiang Shuyi gave Yuzhu her instructions, she saw Yuzhu looking at her with red eyes, as if she had a thousand words to say but couldn't, and she felt a little sad in her heart.
She was telling the truth. If Yuzhu suffered any grievances in the future, she could go to Zhaoyang Palace and cry a little. Perhaps Pei Yan would treat her well for his sake.
Gently squeezing Yuzhu's hand, Jiang Shuyi said softly, "Go ahead."
Yuzhu knelt on the ground and bowed deeply to Jiang Shuyi.
Jiang Shuyi quickly helped her up and said with a smile, "I was just joking. Please stop making it seem like a life-and-death separation. If you have any problems, come to Ganqing Palace to find me."
Yuzhu choked up in response, stood up, bent her knees again, and then took her leave.
Jiang Shuyi calmed herself down and looked back at Fang Chu.
Fang Chu realized that the queen seemed to be about to ask her to leave the palace.
She quickly took advantage of the situation and shook her head slightly.
The Queen has just sent Yuzhu away. If she asks Your Majesty to send her out of the palace at this time, Your Majesty will definitely become suspicious.
Although Jiang Shuyi didn't understand why she suddenly changed her mind, she didn't mention it for the time being.
She returned to Pei Yan with a sad face.
Pei Yan gave her the circled poems of the Song Dynasty first.
"Don't you love to feel sad about the passing of spring and autumn? After reading these poems, next time you feel sad, write a poem like this for me."
Jiang Shuyi took it with a gloomy face.
They are all poems by famous poets, and they all express sorrow.
She snorted softly: "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that I will be even more worried after reading this?"
Pei Yan began to read the memorials: "No, because I will ask you to memorize all the poems and articles about sorrow. In a few days, you will scold them for being officials and why they are so sad."
Jiang Shuyi: ...
She really wanted to be so heartless and curse, never knowing the feeling of sorrow in her life.
In fact, she can recite all these poems.
In her previous life, she was trapped in Zhaoyang Palace. For a while, she liked these sad poems very much. She felt like a bird in a cage, without relatives or friends, so pitiful.
But now her mood has changed drastically. If she could stay with Pei Yan forever, even if she was imprisoned like in her previous life, or trapped in a pure bottle like in her dream, she would be happy with it.
She pretended to read, but when she turned the page she glanced at it unintentionally and paused.
It is Feng Yanyi's Spring Banquet:
At the spring banquet, we would drink a cup of green wine, sing a song, and then make three wishes.
First, I wish that my husband lives a thousand years; second, I wish that I stay in good health; third, I wish that we can be like the swallows on the beam, and see each other every year.
Jiang Shuyi stared at the poem for a long time until her eyes became sore, and she came back to her senses only when Pei Yan called her.
The book in my hand was taken away.
Pei Yan looked at the place where she had been staring at just now, confused.
He seemed to be in good health and would not die anytime soon. Jiang Shuyi was also in good health, so the two of them did not need to separate and live in different places.
"Why are you sighing?"
Jiang Shuyi's eyelashes trembled, and she pinched the corner of her clothes and said in a low voice: "This woman is so pitiful, her husband must not want her anymore..."
Pei Yan explained: "It was written by a man."
"The Changmen Fu was also written by Sima Xiangru. Isn't there a person called Empress Chen? I feel sorry for the woman in this poem. Chen Ajiao spent a fortune but couldn't make her king change his mind. I don't know if her husband agreed to this woman's wish."
Pei Yan was silent for a moment: "Yes, I remember there was a poem about her husband agreeing to live with her in harmony."
