The morning light is breaking.
Xiao Zhiruo's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she woke up from her haze. She turned her head slightly and saw Pei Yun's handsome face close to her.
Memories of last night came flooding back, and Xiao Zhiruo couldn't help but blush. She felt that she had never experienced such a comfortable feeling in her life.
Just as she was about to reach out and kiss Pei Yun's cheek, Pei Yun had already opened his eyes. Xiao Zhiruo quickly pulled back, but was hugged by Pei Yun, "You weren't so shy last night."
Xiao Zhiruo rolled her eyes at Pei Yun. She was a little surprised when she thought about her own madness last night.
Pei Yun kissed her, recalling the beauty of last night. He had never expected that the princess, who looked dignified, virtuous and unattainable, had a completely different side in bed.
Although it was the first time and everything was unfamiliar, Pei Yun taught her a little and she knew what to do. This contrast made Pei Yun feel that Xiao Zhiruo was truly a treasure girl.
"You want to attack me so early in the morning? Looks like I didn't torture you enough last night."
Pei Yun turned over and pressed Xiao Zhiruo down. Feeling the heat of Pei Yun's body, Xiao Zhiruo was startled and hurriedly said, "Husband, don't."
Pei Yun was a martial artist, and her delicate body couldn't bear it at all. She begged for mercy last night, and now she didn't want to come again.
Matters between men and women are fascinating, but it is also a distress when you meet someone whose strength is not matched with yours.
Seeing Xiao Zhiruo's fear and nervousness, and thinking of her crying last night, Pei Yun pinched her face and said with a smile, "Just kidding."
At this time, Yuzhu's voice came from outside the door, "Princess, Prince, do you want the servants to come in and help you wash up?"
"Come in." Pei Yun said.
Xiao Zhiruo breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Pei Yun would not give in. Although she wanted to cooperate, her body could not withstand the repeated beatings.
After washing up, they went to the main hall.
Xiao Cheng had finished practicing sword skills and was drinking tea in the main hall. When he saw Pei Yun and Xiao Zhiruo coming, a smile appeared on his face.
The princess was also there. Seeing Xiao Zhiruo walking awkwardly, she sighed in her heart. Although she was dissatisfied with Pei Yun's identity, the matter was done and there was nothing she could do.
"Greetings, father-in-law and mother-in-law." Pei Yun stepped forward and saluted.
Xiao Cheng nodded and motioned for the two to sit down. Then the maid brought breakfast. After they finished eating, the princess said, "Zhiruo, come here. Mother has something to tell you."
Xiao Zhiruo nodded and followed the princess.
Xiao Cheng said, "Yun'er, since you have married Zhiruo, and I only have this one daughter, I don't want her to be too far away from home, so I plan to transfer you to Shudu to be the deputy commander of the Shu army."
Pei Yun was shocked when he heard this. How could he come to Shudu? The mountain stronghold had just been built, and he could only enter the shopping mall in the mountain stronghold. If he came to Shudu, all the previous construction would be in vain.
However, he remained expressionless and said, "Thank you, father-in-law, for your kindness. However, the bandit problem near Qingyang County has not been resolved. Captain Yuan has assigned me a task before I came to Shudu. If I leave now, I am afraid that all my efforts will be wasted."
Pei Yun was also worried that Xiao Cheng would keep him in Shudu, so he told Yuan Zheng early on that he would continue to suppress the bandits. There were eight or nine other counties under the jurisdiction of Qingyang County, all of which were plagued by banditry.
Pei Yun volunteered, which was naturally what Yuan Zheng wanted, and he used this as an excuse at this time.
Xiao Cheng said calmly: "It's just a bunch of mountain bandits. Just send a captain to suppress them. The position of deputy commander of the Shu army is something many people would love to have."
Pei Yun said solemnly, "Those bandits are extremely cunning and hide deep in the mountains. The officers and soldiers have surrounded and suppressed them many times without success. That's why Captain Yuan appointed me to go and eliminate them."
"Besides, I was a bandit before, so I am lucky enough to marry the princess. If I use the power of the palace to seek an official position, wouldn't it make the world laugh at me?"
At this point, Pei Yun clasped his fists and said solemnly: "Father-in-law, please understand! I am willing to gain a foothold in the army with my real ability, starting from a thousand households, and be promoted based on my military merits. Only in this way can I stop the gossips and live up to the princess' kindness in marrying me."
Xiao Cheng stared at Pei Yun without saying anything, and Pei Yun kept clasping his fists and bowing. He would not come to Shudu, at least not now.
The atmosphere was somewhat dull. After a long while, Xiao Cheng said, "Since you are unwilling to borrow the power of my palace, I will not force you. I will wait until you have eliminated the banditry. However, on the first and fifteenth day of every month, you must bring Zhiruo back to visit your relatives. If I know that you dare to wrong my daughter..."
"My son-in-law doesn't dare!"
Pei Yun spoke hurriedly, feeling relieved. If Xiao Cheng really wanted to force him to come to Shudu, he really would have no choice.
"When do you plan to go back?"
"I'll leave tomorrow."
Xiao Cheng frowned, "So urgent?"
Pei Yun said: "Let's go back and entertain the guests so that we can suppress the bandits as soon as possible."
Xiao Cheng nodded and patted Pei Yun on the shoulder. "I will not go with you. Let Lu Jingxuan go instead of me."
Pei Yun was more than happy to do so. He always felt an invisible pressure when facing Xiao Cheng. He didn't know if this was the aura of a big shot.
Anyway, I always feel a little uncomfortable with Xiao Cheng around. It would be much more comfortable if he didn't go.
…
The next day.
Pei Yun and Xiao Zhiruo set out on the journey, escorted by a team of palace guards. Pei Yun did not ride a horse, but took a carriage with Xiao Zhiruo and gave the horse to Lu Jingxuan.
Leng Qingqiu rode her horse beside the carriage. She heard the sound again last night. She didn't mean to listen, but she had reached the level of a first-class master, and her hearing and vision had greatly improved.
Even though Xiao Zhiruo's voice was very low, she still heard it. She thought the princess was a little shameless. Why was she shouting so loudly, as if she was afraid that she couldn't hear it?
She looks like a dignified beauty, but why does she become so frivolous at night?
The sound went on for so long that it made her feel upset.
