Chapter 56 A small punishment but a big warning
Pei Yan knew this would be the result.
He sighed, took Jiang Shuyi into the inner hall, asked her to sit in his arms, and said softly: "You are already the mother of a child, why are you still saying such angry words."
Jiang Shuyi felt even more uncomfortable when she thought of Pei Yu. She grabbed Pei Yan's hand and said in a muffled voice, "Being a mother means you have to become steady and dignified, put your children first in everything, and give up your previous temper?"
Pei Yan said helplessly: "I didn't mean that. It's just that you love him very much, so I used him to persuade you."
Jiang Shuyi twisted his fingers and snorted softly: "I don't love him anymore. I just want to be loved by your majesty."
Pei Yan laughed, held her hand, and squeezed it from time to time: "You are just talking. Nothing in this world is more important than blood relatives. He is your own child. You are afraid to see him now because of the difficult birth. But in a year or two, you will see that he has grown up and is no longer the one who hurt you. He is as delicate as jade and calls you mother. How can you not be soft-hearted?"
Jiang Shuyi is not soft-hearted and has some heart attacks.
She snuggled up to Pei Yan's chest and retorted: "Blood relations are not important at all. My father and I are related by blood, but he doesn't care about me at all. My sister and I are related by blood, but she always wants to harm me. Although Your Majesty and I are not related by blood, you treat me the best and are the most important person to me in the world. Blood relations cannot be compared with you at all."
Pei Yan couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
He let go of Jiang Shuyi's hand, gently pinched her cheek and turned it towards him, and asked with a smile: "Do you know that you can't lie to the king?"
Jiang Shuyi blinked and raised three fingers: "If I lied even a little bit, God will punish me!"
Pei Yan pinched her lips.
There was a smile in his eyes, but his gaze was dark and unclear: "No need to go to heaven, if you dare to deceive the emperor, I will have my own way to punish you."
Jiang Shuyi whimpered twice, and when Pei Yan let go of her hand, she immediately opened her mouth and bit his finger, looking at him triumphantly.
Pei Yan didn't know what she was going to play next.
He said softly, "Relax."
Jiang Shuyi didn't let go, but licked it gently.
Pei Yan sighed: "Nonsense."
Jiang Shuyi relaxed, smiled and said, "Your Majesty couldn't even bear to see me swear, and you didn't get angry when I offended you. You even said you would punish me. I don't believe it."
Pei Yan looked at his fingertips, thinking: "You really don't believe it?"
Jiang Shuyi nodded fearlessly.
Soon she became afraid.
When being pressed down by Pei Yan, Jiang Shuyi panicked, looked at the window frame behind her, and wanted to sit up: "No, no, can I go to the bed? There are palace maids sweeping the courtyard!"
The two of them were sitting on a couch by the window, with the window behind them. Jiang Shuyi could even hear the sound of palace servants sweeping the floor.
Pei Yan easily immobilized her, his attitude gentle but firm: "How can a small punishment be a big warning to you? If you feel embarrassed, just bear it and don't make a sound."
How can I bear it!

Jiang Shuyi didn't want to pay attention to Pei Yan anymore.
After asking for water to wash, she cried alone on the bed for a long time. No matter how Pei Yan tried to comfort her, it was useless. She was tired of crying and refused to go out to see anyone. Pei Yan had no choice but to call Fang Chu in. However, Jiang Shuyi refused to see her and buried her head in the quilt.
Pei Yan patted the person under the quilt and said helplessly: "Get up and ask her if she heard anything."
Jiang Shuyi felt that unless the palace servants were deaf, they would have heard everything!
She didn't move, and Pei Yan looked at Fang Chu.
Fang Chu understood and sighed deeply in his heart, thinking that the almanac might say that it was better to pretend to be sick than to go on duty today.
She walked forward and pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What noise are you talking about? I was just chatting with Cheng Shou and didn't pay attention to the noise outside. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Pei Yan lowered his head: "Did you hear that? No one of them pays attention to this place."
Jiang Shuyi pulled down the quilt a little and glared at Pei Yan with tears in her eyes: "She was in the outer hall, so it's normal that she didn't hear it. The palace maid who was cleaning the courtyard just now must have heard it!"
Pei Yan tucked the corner of his quilt in and said, "I heard it, but the palace people here are very well-behaved and dare not discuss anything in private."
Jiang Shuyi ignored him, looked at Fang Chu, and sobbed and ordered: "Pack your things, I will go back to Zhaoyang Palace now."
Fang Chu looked at His Majesty's face and said with a smile, "I dare not do that. If the Queen leaves, His Majesty will get angry and want to beat me to death. What shall I do?"
Jiang Shuyi said with resentment: "Don't worry, our emperor is kind and will not punish the palace maids, so he will only punish me!"
Pei Yan understood.
As for the noise, even if they were on the bed, the palace maids would inevitably hear some of it. The biggest reason why Jiang Shuyi was angry today was probably because he was too tough just now. When he said he wanted to punish her, he did not show any sympathy and compassion as he did in the past.
He laughed and sighed, "How could I bear to punish you? If I really punished you, how could you still be so confident to contradict me now?"

Jiang Shuyi thought about it and it seemed to make sense. After being "severely punished" by him in her previous life, she didn't even have the strength to argue back.
But she was still a little embarrassed and angry, and needed a way out to reconcile with Pei Yan.
"You will be returning to Zhaoyang Palace in two days. Do you really want to quarrel with me?"
Pei Yanrou's gentle voice was particularly charming, and Jiang Shuyi even heard a hint of loneliness and pity in it.
She met Pei Yan's lacquered eyes and snorted softly, "I want your majesty to hold me!"
Pei Yan laughed and said "OK", then opened his arms and let Jiang Shuyi lean against his arms.

Pei Yan was determined to let Jiang Shuyi leave. Jiang Shuyi also knew that she couldn't hide in the Palace of Heavenly Purity forever, as there were many things waiting for her to deal with outside.
In the past two days, she has been particularly sticking to Pei Yan. Pei Yan always sighs and says that it is not good for her to do so, but there is a smile between his brows.
Jiang Shuyi continued to stick to him.
But on the fourth day, Pei Yan finally made up his mind to let her return to the palace.
"If you miss me, you can come anytime with the jade pendant."
Pei Yan lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Shuyi who was hugging his arms tightly, and sighed helplessly for the umpteenth time.
Jiang Shuyi said in a wronged voice: "If I leave Your Majesty, what will I do if the Queen Mother and Concubine Qing bully me?"
She needed to get some clarification. If she couldn't protect her own people when she went out, and couldn't show off her power to the six palaces, she would rather stay in the Qianqing Palace.
Pei Yan: "Didn't I tell you that my mother is ill and has no time to care about the concubines. Concubine Qing is also under house arrest now."
He thought for a moment and added, "Even if Concubine Qing is released from house arrest in the future, her position is lower than yours. As long as you don't make a scene too much, no one will care what you do to her."
Jiang Shuyi's eyes lit up.
She suppressed her joy and said as pitifully as possible: "What about the ladies who are higher in rank than me? What should I do if they bully me?"
Pei Yan lowered his eyes and looked at her: "I have raised you for half a month, but have you become stupid? You have never been wronged by them before, and now that I love you even more, you are looking for trouble instead?"
Jiang Shuyi was suddenly very excited.
This is exactly what she wanted to hear. Now she won’t be afraid of anyone when she goes out!
