Chapter 135 Jiang Shuyi, are you still sleeping?
To prevent Jiang Shuyi from pestering him about where the poem was, Pei Yan ordered lunch and told her that she didn't need to study in the afternoon.
Jiang Shuyi really didn't have the leisure time to study.
As soon as Pei Yan gave the reward to Taoist Wu, as long as he was not stupid, he would know that he agreed to leave.
If we meet again, I'm afraid I will follow Taoist Wu and leave.
So now Jiang Shuyi just wants to seize the time and spend more time with Pei Yan, and it would be best if they don’t have to be separated for a moment.
After being pestered by Jiang Shuyi for the third time, Pei Yan frowned: "Jiang Shuyi, are you unhappy about something again?"
Jiang Shuyi's heart tightened, and her face was blank: "Why would your majesty think so?"
"Because when you're unhappy, you like to treat me as a plaything."
Pei Yan turned over, pressed Jiang Shuyi to lie on the bed, and pulled the quilt to cover her: "Sleep, if you move again, I will put a statue of Guanyin in the bedroom to make you completely obedient."
Jiang Shuyi snorted in dissatisfaction: "Your Majesty, you make it sound like I am a demon!"
Pei Yan looked at Jiang Shuyi, whose cheeks were flushed, as if she had drunk enough dew, and was lazy and charming. He pinched her jade-white earlobe and said, "Don't you think you are not a demon? The fact that I favor you alone is known to the world. Recently, some people have made up stories about you being a demon concubine. It is better to guard against the mouths of the people than to guard against the river. In addition to dealing with those who spread nonsense, I also have to think of a way to improve your reputation."
Jiang Shuyi couldn't understand why Pei Yan cared so much about his reputation.
She felt that one should enjoy life to the fullest when it was good. As long as she could live happily and worry-free with Pei Yan, it didn't matter even if she was infamous for eternity.
But in the end, there was no such opportunity.
When Jiang Shuyi thought about this, she suddenly remembered the opportunity to meet Taoist Wu again.
"Master Wu has a good reputation. He has saved so many people. The people are so grateful that they even built a statue for him. Your Majesty, why don't you use coercion and bribe him to say that the reason he has been able to treat illnesses and save lives for free in recent years is because of my financial support. Wouldn't that improve my reputation?"
"Yes, very smart." Pei Yan first praised him gently, and then refuted: "It's a pity that he is the same age as your grandfather. He has been traveling around since you were not born. He has never been to the capital before. How did you meet him and give him money?"
"But how do the people know that Taoist Priest Wu has never been to the capital?" Jiang Shuyi became clever and took Pei Yan's hand to let him lie down, her eyes sparkling. "They haven't checked Taoist Priest Wu's life like Your Majesty has. Just let Taoist Priest Wu say that he came here a few years ago and that I helped him when he was in poverty. Isn't that enough?"
Pei Yan had no choice but to obey her, lying on the quilt and hugging her, saying helplessly: "This is ridiculous. Wu Jianshan has become famous in the past few years. He is not short of money. He even raised several apprentices."
Jiang Shuyi was angry: "That means he was robbed by bandits on the way here! Your Majesty is smarter than me, and he will definitely come up with a perfect solution!"
Pei Yan laughed and stopped trying to persuade her: "Okay, then I'll give it a try."
After hearing what he said just now, Jiang Shuyi suddenly became curious again: "Why doesn't he lack money after he became famous? Didn't he help the poor without charging a penny?"
Even though Pei Yan had investigated Wu Jianshan thoroughly, and Wu Jianshan had used his supernatural powers to convince Jiang Shuyi, she was still a little nervous. After all, this was her first time leaving the palace in her past and present lives, so she had to find out everything clearly.
“That’s how smart he is.”
Pei Yan patted Jiang Shuyi, urging her to go to sleep, and explained: "I sent people to investigate. In addition to helping the poor, he would occasionally deceive a wealthy gentry or official, and make a lot of money from them in the name of catching ghosts and monsters. When he got the money, he used it to help the people. If he hadn't become a monk, I would think he would be a good candidate for an official position."
Jiang Shuyi suddenly realized.
Pei Yan covered Jiang Shuyi's eyes that were blinking wildly and said, "Go to sleep. You have been too excited these days. I want you to learn martial arts."
Jiang Shuyi's eyelashes swept across his palm, and she was clearly still blinking.
"Your Majesty, would you like a gift? It seems your birthday is coming soon."
Pei Yan: "...I was born in winter, and now it's almost Dragon Boat Festival. Are you thinking of making me angry so you don't have to sleep?"
Jiang Shuyi laughed so hard that her body shook. She fumbled for his other hand and held it, shaking it gently: "Then Your Majesty, can't you just tell me what you want first? I've been very idle these days, and I want to make something for Your Majesty."
Pei Yan: "I want you to sleep peacefully."
Jiang Shuyi seemed to have laughed enough and stopped laughing. She said with regret, "Alas, I'm afraid I can't agree to this, Your Majesty. I'm a fairy and I'm about to fly away!"
Pei Yan was speechless in response to Jiang Shuyi, and ashamed to face his ancestors.
How could I fall in love with such a not-so-smart person?
Jiang Shuyi was still muttering: "Your Majesty must be well too, live a long life, and then return to heaven to become an immortal king. Immortal kings and fairies are a pair. If Your Majesty insists on giving up the status of an immortal king and becoming a mortal, then I, the fairy, will have to find another good match."
The hand in front of her suddenly withdrew. Jiang Shuyi was blinded by the bright candlelight and quickly closed her eyes. She slowly opened her eyes after she got used to it.
"Looking for another good match?"
Jiang Shuyi could tell that Pei Yan's seemingly calm tone was filled with turbulent waves, and even a hint of gnashing of teeth.
She immediately blinked and said innocently, "The perfect match is a rabbit. Your Majesty, haven't you heard the story of Chang'e flying to the moon? The husband of the fairy Chang'e is a mortal, so she can only let the jade rabbit accompany her!"
Pei Yan sighed.
"Jiang Shuyi, do you know what you look like now?"
Jiang Shuyi tilted her head: "What?"
Pei Yan: "Go to the cold palace and see that there are several consorts who have committed crimes still imprisoned there. They are a little mentally disturbed and are crazy all day long. They say that they are celestial beings who have descended to earth and that they will quickly obey the order and strike father with lightning."
Jiang Shuyi's face fell: "Your Majesty actually compared me to a madman. Your Majesty doesn't like me anymore!"
Pei Yan pressed the corner of her lips and pulled them upwards, coaxing her softly, "I like it. You are smarter than them. Go to sleep."
He ordered the palace servants to come in and turn off the lights. The curtains fell, blocking out the candlelight outside. Jiang Shuyi lay there quietly for a while, then used her hands and feet to hang on Pei Yan, humming in his ear: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please talk to me for a while."
Pei Yan, who was about to fall asleep, took a deep breath, opened his eyes calmly, sat up calmly, looked down at her calmly, and said calmly: "Jiang Shuyi, look at the clock, it's already Chou time. You are making such a fuss, are you not going to sleep and not letting me sleep well?"
Jiang Shuyi just wanted to stick with him more...
However, hearing him say this, she suddenly felt that it might be a good thing to annoy Pei Yan, so that after she left, he wouldn't be so concerned about her.
So Jiang Shuyi continued to act coquettishly without any tact: "I can't sleep, Your Majesty, please play with me for another half an hour. After playing for half an hour, I will sleep!"
