Pei Yan originally planned to go out on horseback and come back quickly.
But since the lady had agreed to go with him, it would be inconvenient to ride a horse in the hot weather.
So Pei Yan ordered Pei Shen to prepare the carriage, and ordered Pei Xi to get ice from the ice cellar and prepare a few more ice basins.
Pei Xi knew that he had offended their master in the morning, so he worked very diligently and efficiently. In less than two quarters of an hour, he had prepared everything and returned to Mingsong Hall with Pei Shen.
Pei Yan let Song Huan get on the carriage first, and then said to Pei Shen, "Draw the three-level secret guards from the palace and divide them into two teams. One team will lead the way, and the other team will follow behind."
Pei Shen accepted the order, "Where are you and your wife going?"
Pei Yan said seriously, "Outing at Quzi River in the suburbs of Beijing."
Pei Shen's expressionless face almost collapsed: "...Yes, Master."
Pei Xi quickly lowered his head, fearing that an inappropriate expression would appear on his face.
Song Huan, who was sitting in the carriage, had already started to tap the system, asking it to detect sources of danger around it.
As the system reported the details of dangerous events one by one, Song Huan became more and more melancholy.
There are many more sources of danger near Pei Hou Mansion than when she was there in December last year.
Originally, she wanted to find a path with the least danger, or even no danger at all, from the "sources of danger" given by the system.
But after listening from beginning to end, Song Huan still couldn't tell which road was relatively safe.
The solution given by the broken system was to let her stay in the mansion and not leave.
"The problem is that I suddenly had a brain attack and agreed to leave the house with Pei Yan..."
Song Huan tried to gain sympathy, "Dear System Master, are there no items I can buy?"
System: "Dear, no. This system can only wish you good luck."
Song Huan: "...Okay, thank you then!"
No longer communicating with the system, Song Huan suddenly missed the time when she first arrived. Back then, this warning ticket was almost useless...
Just as he was thinking about it, Pei Yan lifted the curtain and entered the carriage.
Song Huan instantly collected his thoughts and smiled with his eyes curved. "Will it delay your work if I leave the house with you?"
"No." Pei Yan was afraid that Song Huan would regret it, so he answered decisively: "Besides, if my wife is with me, it will be easier to conceal our presence."
Although Pei Yan had some of his own little thoughts when he left the house this time, the more important reason was to lure the fish into the trap.
The carriage drove slowly and left the mansion through the side door.
As soon as they saw the carriage of Marquis Pei's mansion, the secret guards who were watching the mansion in the dark sent people back to report to their respective masters.
Pei Yan had already instructed Pei Shen not to stop them and to let them go back to report.
If nothing unexpected happens, each family has received the news that Emperor Xiaocheng will hold a banquet to welcome him in three days.
Emperor Xiaocheng's intention is not difficult to guess. At this time, no one wants to be the first to take action, and everyone wants to be the one who reaps the benefits.
Therefore, although the secret guards of each family will always follow him closely, they will never act rashly.
Even Emperor Xiaocheng, who received the news, only ordered his subordinates to follow them secretly, observe where they went and what they did, and report to him after they returned.
Pei Yan is not a simple-minded person. After he silently killed more than a hundred Xuanwei in Ning County, Emperor Xiaocheng would not deal with Pei Yan easily.
He had already laid a tight net, waiting for Pei Yan to walk into it in three days...
"Send secret orders to those useless people again," Emperor Xiaocheng ordered the secret guards, "don't ruin my plan."
Those "useless" ones refer to the sons of Emperor Xiaocheng.
Although the six princes were fighting among themselves, no one dared to disobey the secret order of Emperor Xiaocheng.
There was only one accident.
The fourth prince Chu Xun secretly disguised himself and left the palace before receiving the secret order from Emperor Xiaocheng.
Following the marks left by his secret guards, he came to Quzi River in the suburbs of Beijing.
"The fish is hooked." Pei Yan put away the fishing rod and was very happy looking at the fat and big fish on the hook.
Song Huan held a small stove filled with crushed ice in her hands, her expression complicated. "Husband, you left the house just to go fishing?"
Pei Yan nodded: "Yes."
Song Huan: “…” Is this guy kidding?
But at this moment, the system began to tell Song Huan that the danger source was being eliminated...
Song Huan immediately lost interest in dealing with Pei Yan and turned to ask the system, "Removed? How?"
System: "Dear, this system cannot tell you the reason."
Song Huan said "Oh" and then asked casually, "Is the heroine in the book less impressed by me now?"
In two days, Song Huan will be able to complete one of the conditions in the random task and spend ninety days with the heroine "Cui Yuning".
But as for the favorability, Song Huan felt that she could not achieve it.
Her instinct to seek good fortune and avoid danger prevented her from establishing any kind of friendship with Cui Yuning...
System: "Dear, the heroine "Cui Yuning" in the book has a favorability rating of "+10" towards you. Please keep up the good work."
Song Huan: “???”
"Say that again? Favorability +10? How did it increase? She and I don't even have any connection."
System: "Do you want to view the details of your favorability?"
Song Huan: "Yes."
The system sent the favorability details with a "ding" sound.
The time when the favorability increased was after Cui Yuning asked Song Huan a question in the carriage.
Song Huan frowned.
She thought that answer would definitely lower Cui Yuning's favorability towards her, but why did it increase instead of decrease?
I really can't figure out the tortuous mental journey of the heroine in this book...
However, there is not much difference between "+5" and "+10", as the task cannot be completed anyway.
"Husband, the news that Cui Yuning is returning to the capital with us...has the Fourth Prince known about it?" Song Huan touched Pei Yan's arm and asked in a low voice.
The fishing rod in Pei Yan's hand shook with the collision with Song Huan. The fishing line moved, and ripples appeared on the surface of the river.
Pei Yan reeled in the line, and sure enough... the bait on the hook was gone.
"Haha..." Song Huan laughed dryly in embarrassment, and immediately put the small ice stove on her knees, holding her face and admitting her mistake cutely: "I won't touch you anymore, my husband, just keep fishing."
Pei Yan was unhappy when he heard this.
You can choose not to catch fish, but you can't choose not to touch your wife.
"I've caught enough today." Pei Yan looked at the two fish baskets filled with fish and simply put away his fishing rod. "Don't worry, my lady. The fish I wanted to catch the most is already in the basket."
"Hmm?" Song Huan was thinking about the meaning of this guy's words when she saw an old boatman wearing a straw hat paddling on the river not far away, heading towards her and Pei Yan.
Song Huan glanced sideways at Pei Shen and Pei Xi who were standing motionless beside the carriage, and finally realized that the fish Pei Yan wanted to catch was actually the old boatman-looking man.
"Who is that person?" Song Huan squinted his eyes but couldn't see the man's face clearly.
"Fourth Prince, Chu Xun." Pei Yan stood up and called Pei Shen and Pei Xi over, asking them to take away the fish basket and fishing rod.
Pei Shen took the order, picked up the two baskets of fish, and returned to the carriage without stopping.
He couldn't help but feel ashamed. He had actually thought that his master had come to Quzi River with such fanfare just for an outing... He had followed his master for so many years in vain.
Pei Xi, on the other side, took the fishing rod and silently followed Pei Shen back. At the same time, he secretly sighed, thankfully he had restrained himself before leaving the house and didn't laugh at his master...
Song Huan watched the boat approaching and tactfully said to Pei Yan, "Husband, shall I go back to the carriage and wait for you?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Yan grabbed Song Huan's hand, as if afraid that she would run away: "No need, my lady, come with me."
"Hmm..." Song Huan deliberately hesitated for a moment.
At this moment, she saw Pei Yan's tightly pursed lips and his suddenly furrowed brows.
Song Pipi Huan immediately softened his heart.
"I'm just teasing you." Song Huanhui held the man's big hand: "Of course I'll go with you."
Just at this moment, a single-sailed wooden boat stopped at the river bank. The Fourth Prince Chu Xun looked at the two people holding hands on the shore and felt it was extremely dazzling.
He didn't even know whether Yu Ning was dead or alive, but the couple was showing their affection in front of him.
But for the sake of Yuning's news, Chu Xun quickly suppressed his dissatisfaction and asked the two people on the shore in a low voice, "Such a beautiful day, why don't you invite your wife to go boating together?"
"Boating?" Pei Yan didn't know if he was deliberately trying to irritate Chu Xun or if he had other intentions. He was clearly waiting for Chu Xun to come looking for him, but now that he had arrived, he frowned and said, "It's scorching hot. I'm afraid my wife won't be able to handle it. Do you have an ice basin on the boat?"
How could a small wooden boat possibly have an ice basin?
The Fourth Prince was furious, but there seemed to be no one around, and in fact, they were all hiding in the dark.
He couldn't let others know that it was him, and the person who came was disguised as an old boatman, and his speaking speed was more than half slower than his usual speed. For a moment, he couldn't even say a word.
After a short pause, he changed his target to Song Huan: "The willows on both sides of Quzi River are swaying, and the breeze is blowing freely. Even if there is no ice basin, Madam can rest assured to go boating with you and enjoy the scenery."
Upon hearing this, Song Huan tilted her head to look at Pei Yan, her eyes curved with a smile: "I will listen to my husband on this matter."
The author has something to say: The Fourth Prince Chu Xun: I am a lemon under the lemon tree.
