The two went directly to Pei Mansion from the palace.

According to the rules, a normal bride should go to her parents-in-law to serve tea in the early morning of the next day. But because Li Rong was a princess, Li Ming showed his favor to her by hosting a banquet for all the officials in the court in the morning, so the meeting with the Pei family was postponed to the afternoon.

After the two of them finished discussing the court affairs in the carriage, they wanted to take a nap, but they arrived unexpectedly. When Pei Wenxuan helped Li Rong get off the carriage and stepped into the gate, he couldn't help but whispered, "Do you still remember my family?"

"remember."

Li Rong answered quickly: "Your second uncle Pei Lixian is a smiling tiger, your third uncle Pei Liwen is a idiot, you have three cousins ​​and many sisters. Your three cousins ​​are respectively the most jealous, the second most evil, and the third most rabbit. Your mother..."

"That's enough." Pei Wenxuan was afraid that if she continued, she would curse his whole family, so he quickly stopped Li Rong and said, "I know you remember it very clearly. I won't introduce anyone else, except my mother. You can do whatever you want."

Li Rong raised her eyes and glanced at him. Pei Wenxuan saw her looking at him and quickly smiled ingratiatingly: "I'll go back and massage your shoulders."

"Then I will give Master Pei this favor."

Li Rong laughed immediately after hearing Pei Wenxuan's exchange.

The two were led into the main hall by servants. As soon as they entered, Li Rong saw a crowd of people. They stood up, led by Pei Liwen, and greeted Li Rong. Li Rong nodded, asked everyone to stand up, and then was led by the servants beside him to sit on the left side of the first row under the main seat.

Pei Wenxuan sat next to Li Rong, Pei Lixian sat opposite Li Rong, while Pei Wenxuan's mother Wen and Pei Wenxuan's grandfather sat on the left and right above. Wen's chair was lower to distinguish her from Pei Wenxuan's grandfather Pei Xuanqing.

She was obviously not used to such occasions. Although Li Rong sat next to her and did nothing, Wen Shi felt an invisible sense of oppression coming over her. She looked up at Pei Wenxuan for help. Pei Wenxuan quickly said, "Mother, this is Her Royal Highness the Princess. Don't be shy. Today is a family dinner. Just chat with Her Royal Highness."

After hearing this, Wen Shi relaxed a little. Li Rong smiled but said nothing, but everyone was still looking at her secretly.

She was used to seeing these looks, but the Pei family exaggerated them a little. Everyone, including the maids and servants in the inner courtyard, came and squeezed into every gap to peek at Li Rong.

Pei Wenxuan was a little embarrassed. In fact, it was almost the same situation in his previous life. He remembered that Li Rong had made fun of him at that time. He turned his head and looked outside, whispering, "Clear the yard. How can anyone come in?"

After hearing this, the servant next to him glanced at Pei Lixian subconsciously. Pei Lixian coughed lightly, and then the housekeeper next to him went out to clear the people.

Li Rong glanced at Pei Wenxuan, then turned to look at Pei Lixian and said, "It seems that Master Pei is in charge of the family."

"My brother is not here," Pei Lixian said respectfully, "My sister-in-law is in good health, so I am the one who helps take care of her."

"I see." Li Rong nodded. "That's hard work."

Pei Lixian's expression remained unchanged, and he said respectfully, "It is what I should do."

As the two of them were discussing this topic, everyone present was a little scared, fearing that Li Rong would be ignorant and bring up the matter of housekeeper Pei Wenxuan.

It is impossible to let Pei Wenxuan take charge, but Li Rong is a princess, so conflicts are inevitable.

Pei Xuanqing also noticed this, coughed lightly, looked at Li Rong and said, "Is grandson's wife okay today? Was she tired yesterday?"

Pei Xuanqing is no longer in the court, but he was once a minister. Although he cannot be compared with Pei Lizhi, he is also a high-ranking official. In addition, he is older, so he took the lead in removing Princess Li Rong's identity and talked about it as a family dinner.

Li Rongjin smiled and nodded slightly, saying, "It's fine."

Such concise words made it difficult for people to continue. Everyone realized that Li Rong was not a good person and was afraid that she would not be docile. They were a little overwhelmed for a moment. Pei Lixian saw this and laughed: "How about serving tea first? The wedding was yesterday, and the palace held a banquet today. Your Highness must be tired. Wenxuan," Pei Lixian looked at Pei Wenxuan, "you need to be more sensible and take good care of the princess."

Pei Lixian's words made Li Rong quite happy. She glanced at Pei Wenxuan, who stood up with a smile, led Li Rong forward, and offered tea to Pei Xuanqing and Wen.

Li Rong didn't need to kneel when serving tea, she just had to offer it. However, in her previous life, Li Rong was afraid that the Pei family would think she was oppressive because of her status, which would cause a rift between her and Pei Wenxuan in the future. So she softened her temper and knelt before Wen Shi and Pei Xuanqing like an ordinary bride.

Thinking about it now, I just feel that my youth and immaturity were ridiculous.

If you show weakness to a family like the Pei family, they will think you are easy to bully. If you are in a high position, you don't have to lower yourself. If you don't use your power, you are a fool.

After Li Rong served the tea, Wen and Pei Xuanqing gave Li Rong red envelopes. Then Pei Wenxuan took Li Rong around and introduced everyone one by one.

Li Rong was so domineering that when she stood in front of the Pei family, they were speechless. They hurriedly gave them a red envelope, said a few auspicious words, and let Li Rong go quickly.

So the whole process went by very quickly. After the whole process was completed, everyone was silent and no one dared to chat. Li Rong took a sip of tea, turned to look at Pei Wenxuan and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Pei Wenxuan turned to look at Pei Lixian: "Second Uncle, are there any other procedures?"

"Not really."

"Then let's go." Li Rong said lazily, "I'm tired."

This was said as if he was just going to any house to have a meal. The Pei family members all looked unhappy. Pei Wenxuan remained calm, stepped forward to help Li Rong up, turned to Pei Xuanqing and said, "Grandpa," and then turned to look at Wen, "Mother, I will leave first."

Pei Xuanqing's face didn't look good. Wen was stunned for a moment. Li Rong nodded slightly to everyone gracefully and walked out.

Wen finally reacted and quickly stood up and said, "No... not living at home?"

According to Wen's idea, even if he married the princess, he would live in the princess's mansion in the future, and when he came to pay a visit to Pei's house, he would stay for one night.

After all, although Pei Wenxuan married a princess, he was not a concubine, so he had to have some dignity.

Originally, Wen Shi did not have the courage to say these words, but the ladies of the second and third rooms instigated her, making her feel that it would be embarrassing if the two of them left like this. So when she saw Li Rong leading Pei Wenxuan away, Wen Shi could not help herself.

Li Rong stopped and looked at Pei Wenxuan.

She understood Wen's personality. She wanted face. She promised Pei Wenxuan to give Wen face, so she didn't say it directly. She looked at Pei Wenxuan, turned her head and looked at Wen again, then smiled: "It's not impossible, I will listen to Wenxuan."

Hearing this, Wen Shi breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at Pei Wenxuan and said, "Wenxuan, then..."

"Mother," Pei Wenxuan knew that Li Rong said this. If he really dared to stay, she would skin him alive. So Pei Wenxuan smiled and said, "There are still many things to arrange in the princess's mansion. I will come back to accompany you another day. When you are not busy for a while, the princess and I will come to see you together."

Wen's face was a little stiff, but at this point, Wen couldn't say anything, so she could only stammer, "Then...then you guys get busy first."

Pei Wenxuan greeted everyone and then walked out with Li Rong.

After getting on the carriage, Li Rong yawned and said, "Finally, I can rest."

As she spoke, she looked up at Pei Wenxuan who was sitting opposite her and thinking about something and said, "What are you thinking about? Why, do you think I slapped you in the face?"

"No." Pei Wenxuan responded and said with a smile, "Isn't it as I should?"

"Oh?" Li Rong was a little curious, holding her chin and said, "Don't you think it's embarrassing?"

"You have your own life," Pei Wenxuan poured tea and said calmly, "You can't sacrifice yourself just because you marry me. Live your life the way you want, and they can't do anything to you."

"Your mother's side..."

"I will say it myself. You are marrying me, not her."

"I suddenly realized," Li Rong said after talking with Pei Wenxuan, "it's actually quite comfortable to marry you. You said I should marry someone like Lu Yu, but those wealthy families have a lot of rules. Even if my husband tolerates me, the elders of these wealthy families won't tolerate me. I'm afraid they'll file a report to my father tomorrow..."

Before she finished speaking, Li Rong suddenly remembered, "Wait, Pei Lixian won't submit a memorial tomorrow, right?"

"What did you submit?" Pei Wenxuan laughed, "You said you left after drinking tea?"

"That's true."

Li Rong nodded: "I gave them the face, but they couldn't bear it."

When the two talked about this, they couldn't help laughing. When they thought about Li Rong standing in front of those relatives, everyone would be scared and want her to leave quickly, they felt a little happy.

Li Rong fanned herself and said happily, "Finally, I have something to feel good about today. But this Pei family," Li Rong turned to look at him, "When are you going to take it back?"

"When it's time to take it back," Pei Wenxuan picked up the teacup and drank tea, saying calmly, "I took it back."

Li Rong responded.

The two chatted all the way back to the princess's mansion, then returned to their room together. They told the servants not to disturb them and went back to their room to have a good sleep.

Pei Wenxuan wanted to make a bed on the floor, but there was only one mattress in the room. When he asked someone to bring another one, the servant asked in confusion, "Are you feeling cold, Prince Consort? Why do you need so many mattresses?"

Pei Wenxuan was speechless for a moment, so he didn't ask for anything more and went straight back to his room.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Li Rong had taken off her makeup and outer clothes and was about to get into bed. Li Rong was sleeping at the innermost side, and the quilt he had brought over last night was placed outside the bed, neatly folded and placed aside.

Li Rong looked up at him when he came in and asked, "Why, didn't you get the mattress?"

“They asked me if I was cold.”

Pei Wenxuan felt helpless and walked to the basin to wash his hands: "I couldn't answer, so I came back."

"Then go to sleep," Li Rong said softly, lying sideways with her head propped up. She raised her hands and gently placed them on her hips. "Anyway, I believe that Master Pei is a gentleman, the reincarnation of Liu Xiahui. I don't mind. What does Master Pei mind?"

"You..." Pei Wenxuan was somewhat helpless, "Can you..."

"Can you be more reserved?" Li Rong turned over and said in a long voice, "Can you change the words? Don't you know whether I am reserved or not?"

"Li Rong!"

Pei Wenxuan said in a low voice, and Li Rong stopped playing around and lay on the bed, saying, "That's enough. There are still so many days ahead. Can you sleep on the floor every day? Send a set of bed covers out for cleaning every day, and get up in the morning to tidy up the quilts. Aren't you tired?"

Pei Wenxuan hesitated for a moment, and Li Rong closed her eyes: "Alright, let's go to sleep. It's not like we haven't slept together before. Master Pei, don't make trouble for yourself."

After Li Rong finished speaking, she closed her eyes and fell asleep. Pei Wenxuan hesitated for a moment, but still took off his coat and walked over. He sat down on the bed, hesitated for a moment, and lay down on the bed. He thought for a moment, and then said, "Don't worry, I have no interest in you."

Li Rong turned her back to him and burst out laughing. Pei Wenxuan frowned: "What are you laughing at?"

Li Rong turned around and laid on a blanket with Pei Wenxuan. She put her hands under her face and said with a smile, "You are not interested in me, so what if I am interested in you?"

"Nonsense." Pei Wenxuan blushed immediately, turned over and said, "You are teasing me without any reason."

"Pei Wenxuan," Li Rong tilted her head and looked at him, "I've discovered that you've always been very shy."

"Who is like you?" Pei Wenxuan closed his eyes. "Shameless."

"Everyone has sex, why should I be ashamed?" Li Rong said frankly. Pei Wenxuan covered her ears and urged her, "Go to sleep."

Li Rong looked at him with a smile. Seeing that his back was facing her, she stared at him with a smile for a while. She didn't know why, but she felt that teasing Pei Wenxuan like this was extremely interesting.

She watched for a while, then felt sleepy, so she closed her eyes and lay down.

Pei Wenxuan slowly opened his eyes, looked ahead, and reminded himself repeatedly.

Li Rong is a person who likes to joke, and you can't take it seriously.
