Chapter 121 Extra (5)



After giving birth to Pei Xiaobao, Pei Yan and Song Huan reached a consensus - they would not have any more children, this one child was enough.

However, things in the world are always contrary to one's wishes and full of surprises.

On Pei Xiaobao's second birthday, Song Huan and Pei Yan got drunk in the late night and unfortunately had Pei Erbao and Pei Sanbao.

It was a moonlit night with few stars.

Song Huan prepared a very sumptuous birthday party for Pei Xiaobao.

At this time, Pei Xiaobao seemed to have become much calmer under Pei Yan's education.

Looking at the birthday cake Song Huan made for him and the table full of his favorite food, he just said to Song Huan with a blushing face: "Thank you, mother."

Song Huan pretended to be unhappy and pointed to her cheek: "Baby, won't you give mommy a kiss?"

Pei Xiaobao couldn't help but look up at Pei Yan, his big eyes twinkling, and whispered, "Daddy, can Tang'er kiss Mommy?"

“…” Pei Yan’s face darkened.

Brat, asking this question really betrays him completely!

Song Huan turned her head and glared at Pei Yan. She asked why Pei Xiaobao suddenly stopped letting her kiss his forehead a few days ago. It turned out that this guy was really threatening Pei Xiaobao.

"What are you looking at me for, my lady?"

Pei Yan coughed lightly and turned his head unconsciously, "Pei Tang, whether you want to kiss your mother or not is your own business. You don't need to ask your father."

Pei Xiaobao rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, Daddy, Tang'er understands."

As soon as the little voice fell, Pei Xiaobao kissed Song Huan on the cheek. After the kiss, he said in a baby voice: "Tang'er loves mother the most."

"Mom also likes Tang'er the most." Song Huan said and kissed Pei Xiaobao on the cheek.

Pei Yan glanced at Pei Tang with a chill.

Brat, let's let him go for now tonight.

Wait until tomorrow... Haha, Huanhuan is not here to protect this kid.

Pei Xiaobao was completely unaware and had a very pleasant evening.

After he had eaten and drunk his fill, his father didn't even take him for a run.

Pei Xiaobao nestled in Song Huan's arms and slowly fell asleep. There was only one thought in his little head: It's so nice to have a birthday.

Seeing Pei Tang sleeping soundly, Pei Yan took him from Song Huan's arms and said, "I'll hold him."

Song Huan nodded, stood up and went with Pei Yan to send Pei Xiaobao back to the room.

No matter how strict Pei Yan was to Pei Xiaotang, Pei Xiaotang was his and Huanhuan's child after all, so he naturally loved Pei Xiaotang.

But when he thought of the suffering Huanhuan had endured giving birth to him, Pei Yan couldn't help but be strict with Pei Xiaotang.

So much so that most of the time, Pei Xiaotang was afraid of him.

However, whenever he was around Song Huan, Pei Xiaotang's childish nature would be revealed. Not only was he not afraid of Pei Yan, he always found opportunities to outmaneuver him.

"Husband." On the way back, Song Huan suggested to Pei Yan: "Isn't it too early for you to be so strict with Tang'er now? He is only two years old."

Pei Yan said, "Not too early. I followed my father to the military camp when I was three years old."

Song Huan: "...but Tang'er is not even three years old yet."

"Look at his small arms and legs. What if he gets hurt?"

Pei Yan paused, "Huanhuan, I just took him for a run around the mansion twice, it's only a few steps."

Song Huan raised her head, her dark eyes blazing, "Husband, Tang'er is not even as tall as your legs."

After a moment of silence, she thought of a compromise: "...wait until he's three years old. After that, I won't interfere with how you train him, okay?"

Pei Yan pursed his thin lips, frowned and said nothing.

Song Huan didn't say anything more and waited quietly for his answer.

She was not soft-hearted, it was just that Pei Xiaobao was only two years old. When she was two years old, she was still playing in the mud. She couldn't deprive Pei Xiaobao of his childhood just because he was here.

However, Pei Yan frowned and remained silent, as if he would not give in no matter what Song Huan said.

Song Huan paused, and an idea flashed in his mind: "If my husband agrees to me, then before Tang'er is three years old, I will run laps around the mansion with him."

Pei Yan's eyes flashed, his throat moved, and his thin lips opened slightly: "Madam, are you serious?"

Song Huan chuckled: "Seriously, absolutely true."

Pei Yan snorted lightly: "In that case, let Pei Xiaotang live a peaceful life for another year."

The two returned to Mingsong Hall, where all the food had been removed.

Pei Xi knew that ever since the young master came into being, the lady had not paid as much attention to the master, so tonight he specially prepared snacks and "wine" for Pei Yan and Song Huan to help the master and the lady strengthen their relationship.

Coincidentally, on the way back just now, Song Huan was also reflecting on whether he had recently put all his thoughts on Pei Xiaobao and neglected Pei Yanyan...

Seeing that there was wine, she thought that she could use it to comfort Pei Yan.

When Pei Yan saw the wine, he couldn't help but feel itchy.

Huanhuan has been busy preparing a birthday party for Pei Tang these days and hasn't let him touch her for several days.

The two of them had their own thoughts and spoke at the same time.

"Husband, would you like to have a drink before going to bed?"

"My lady, would you like to drink and admire the moon?"

Cough cough.

The intention is very clear.

Song Huan couldn't help but narrow her eyes and nodded, "I'll listen to my husband. I'll drink and admire the moon before going to bed."

Pei Yan's throat felt itchy, and he felt hot even before he drank the wine.

But neither of them knew that Pei Xi thought their master and his wife were experiencing a relationship crisis, so the "wine" he prepared tonight... had seasonings added to it.

After just a few sips, Song Huan felt something was wrong.

I felt groggy and could hardly open my eyelids.

In a moment, she fell on the table with a thud and fell asleep.

Seeing this, Pei Yan carried the person into the bedroom, but as soon as he touched the pillow, he fell asleep inexplicably.

A long-lost voice rang in Song Huan's ears.

The voice started out very far away, but gradually... it seeped into Song Huan's mind bit by bit.

"Dear, you have triggered a random task. Would you like to accept this random task?"

"Dear, you are triggering..."

Song Huan gradually understood clearly that the broken system kept repeating this sentence.

But she tried to open her eyes, but she couldn't open them no matter what. There was only pitch black in front of her.

"Didn't I block you? How can you still speak out?"

This system has been working well for two years. Song Huan signed in every day, completed daily tasks and collected health points, and almost forgot about it.

I didn't expect the broken system to be so unreasonable tonight...

System: "Dear, this system has been upgraded. The administrator has given this system the permission to leave the block list for a quarter of an hour at certain special times."

Song Huan: "...Alright. The administrator favors your system anyway."

"So, tell me, what is this random mission?"

System: "Random Mission 4 - Enter the dream of Pei Yan, the target of the attack. Upon completion, you will receive ten years of health."

Song Huan was stunned. "...Just entering a dream gives me ten years of life? Are there no other conditions?"

She didn't quite believe it, thinking there must be some trap hidden here.

System: "Dear, there are conditions attached."

"You are responsible for bringing the capture target, Pei Yan, back from the dream. If you fail to complete the mission successfully, you will not receive any health points."

"Also...if the capture target 'Pei Yan' is lost in a dream, he might never wake up."

Song Huan's tone turned cold: "What did you say!"

The system didn't have time to explain. "Dear, this mission will expire in thirty seconds. Do you want to accept this mission?"

Song Huan said anxiously, "Accept!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the dark surroundings suddenly lit up with white light.

After a flash of white light, Song Huan was finally able to open his eyes.

She saw a piece of clothing that was very familiar to her.

The dress was exquisite and luxurious, and it was exactly the imperial dress worn by Pei Yan's mother.

Song Huan's eyes turned, and she saw Pei Xiaobao, who seemed to have grown up a little, holding the hand of a woman wearing imperial robes, with a bright smile on her face: "Mother, mother, you look so beautiful in this dress."

Song Huan raised his head again and looked at the woman.

The woman seemed to say something, but Song Huan couldn't hear what she said.

At this time, another man came in from outside the door. Song Huan looked at him and found that the man looked 80% like Pei Yan.

But she knew that was not Pei Yan.

If this adult man is not Pei Yan... Song Huan lowered his head and looked at the large Pei Xiaobao again. Could it be that this Pei Xiaobao is Pei Yan when he was a child?

Before Song Huan could figure out the relationship, the scene changed and it was already late at night.

There were crowds of people all around. Song Huan looked around and found that she had happened to be here once before. It was the Xuande Hall.

On the high platform, Emperor Xiaocheng was still very young, but his eyes were sharper and more shrewd than when he was old.

Song Huan only glanced at him briefly, and then turned his gaze back to the big Pei Xiaobao. It seemed that this "Pei Xiaobao" was indeed Pei Yan.

It really doesn't look alike at all.

Song Huan frowned. This guy was obviously more lively than Pei Xiaobao when he was a child. What on earth did he go through to become such an unkind person later on?

"Mother, Yan'er doesn't like it here."

Song Huan heard little Pei Yan acting like a spoiled child to his mother, "Mom, can you take me out to play?"

"Pei Yan! Stop messing around!" Song Huan saw the shape of Pei Yan's father's lips and discerned what he said.

As for why she could tell the difference? It was simply because Pei Yan was often mean to Pei Xiaobao.

Now it seems that Pei Yan's way of teaching Pei Xiaobao should be inherited from his father.

After Pei Yan's father scolded Pei Xiaoyan, Pei Yan's mother seemed to say something to his father, and Pei Yan's father's expression softened a lot.

After a while, Pei Yan's mother stood up and took Pei Yan away from the banquet.

It seems that Pei Yan's mother persuaded Pei Yan's father.

Song Huan was not sure what form he was in now. Maybe there was a trace of soul floating with Pei Yan, or maybe it was just a trace of consciousness following Pei Yan.

In short, the scene changed again, and she saw Pei Xiaoyan staying in a very elegant room accompanied by a maid.

Song Huan looked carefully at Pei Xiaoyan's clothes and the maid's clothes, and found that time had not changed much. Pei Xiaoyan was still wearing the same clothes he wore when he attended the palace banquet, and the maid next to him looked like a palace maid.

"Mother, have you changed your clothes?" Pei Xiaoyan pouted and shook off the palace maid's hand on him.

"Mother, Yan'er won't run around anymore. Wait until you change your clothes, and then we'll go back to find Daddy."

As soon as Pei Xiaoyan finished speaking, his mother, who was changing clothes behind the screen, came out. Her eyes were gentle and soft, and she walked to Pei Xiaoyan and rubbed his face.

Song Huan was surprised to see the palace maid following behind Pei Yan's mother.

Doesn’t that palace maid look just like the crazy woman in Chu Jing’s cold palace?

Song Huan shuddered suddenly. Even though she had no body at all, she suddenly felt cold.

She remembered that Hong Gu had said that she had taken off Pei Yan's mother's imperial robes with her own hands.

Now it seems that she did take it off with her own hands.

But the current atmosphere didn't seem to agree with the fierce and cheerful tone in Hong Gu's voice when she talked about this matter...

A bad premonition flashed through Song Huan's mind. The next moment, she saw Hong Gu and another palace maid taking Pei Yan's mother and Pei Xiaoyan further and further away. It was obvious that they were not going to the Xuande Hall.

"Mother, what is this place?"

Pei Xiaoyan seemed to be keenly aware that something was wrong and grabbed his mother's sleeve and refused to walk anymore.

"Mother, it's dark around here. How could you possibly take us to find Daddy? It's bright and clear where Daddy is."

Song Huan listened and thought to himself, "That's right, mother, please listen to Pei Xiaoyan's words and don't go with those two palace maids."

As if in response to Song Huan's expectations, a hint of hesitation flashed across Pei Yan's mother's face.

But at this time, Hong Gu opened and closed her mouth as if to say something, and the doubts on Pei Yan's mother's face disappeared. She bent down, picked up Pei Xiaoyan and continued to move forward.

"Mom, Yan'er is not tired from walking!" Pei Xiaoyan flapped his feet angrily, and his little body twisted and turned in his mother's arms.

However, it was no use. No matter how much Pei Xiaoyan made a fuss, Pei Yan's mother never turned back...

When Pei Yan's mother realized something was wrong and wanted to turn around and run in the opposite direction, she and Pei Xiaoyan could no longer escape.

They were surrounded by several burly guards. Hong Gu and another palace maid took Pei Yan's mother and Pei Xiaoyan and threw them into a deep well...

“Plop!”

“Plop!”

There were two sounds, and a huge rock was pressed on the well, and the world fell into silence in an instant.

Song Huan watched Hong Gu and the guards leave. She rushed to the deep well. Even though she knew it was impossible to remove the manhole cover, she still tried in vain to move it...

"Mother! Mother..."

Pei Xiaoyan's crying could be heard intermittently from the deep well, and Song Huan's eyes were filled with tears.

But not only could she not move the huge rock pressing on the well, she couldn't even get into the well...

"System, what's going on? Didn't I enter Pei Yan's dream? Why can't I enter now?"

The system didn't answer her. Song Huan paused, wanting to remove the pit system from the blocked list.

Only then did she realize that it wasn't the system that didn't answer her.

But here, she has no system at all.

Song Huan couldn't help but be stunned. Maybe this wasn't just a dream of Pei Yan.

So no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get in, and Song Huan slowly faced the reality.

Perhaps, behind this well is a part of Pei Yan's heart that cannot be touched and dare not be touched. No matter who it is... no one can enter.

Song Huan sat outside the well, without making a sound, and time did not jump.

She waited for two days and two nights.

It was not until the third night that she saw Pei Yan's father coming to her with red eyes.

He pushed away the huge rock pressing on the well with one hand. Song Huan and he looked into the well at the same time and saw two bodies floating on the water.

In an instant, tears welled up in my eyes.

Song Huan looked at the two pale and swollen bodies that were fished out, and his heart ached.

She had heard Pei Yan's cries for help and his cries, but she could do nothing.

She could only watch all this happen before her eyes...

No, that's not right!

Song Huan suddenly realized that if this was Pei Yan's dream recalling the past, he would not be dead now. If he died at such a young age, how could she meet him in the future?

Song Huan concentrated his mind and floated to Pei Xiaoyan's side.

At this moment, a man who looked like an imperial physician seemed to say something to Pei Yan's father.

A glimmer of light flashed in Pei Yan's father's eyes, and Song Huan saw him pick up his mother who was lying on the ground, while Pei Xiaoyan was held by Pei Bushou. They found a nearby yard, and the imperial physician followed with a medicine box to provide treatment.

Pei Yan's father stayed by Pei Yan's mother's side from beginning to end, while Song Huan stayed by Pei Xiaoyan's side.

Later, after an unknown amount of time, Song Huan saw Pei Xiaoyan's eyelids move.

At the same time, Pei Yan, who was in a coma, frowned more and more tightly.

He seemed to want to recall it from a dream, but when he tried to open his eyes, what he saw was another memory that he didn't want to recall.

When he was nine years old, he received the news that his father had won the battle and was about to return to Beijing.

But he went to the city gate every day to wait, but in the end, what he waited for was his father's body.

...Things change with time.

In the blink of an eye, Song Huan saw Pei Xiaoyan change from the big Pei Xiaobao into a little boy.

She could already vaguely see what he would look like in the future from his eyes and brows.

Song Huan had been waiting with him at the city gate every day for the past few days, but she had no idea what he was waiting for. That was until she saw Master Li, whose legs were still intact, and the tablet he was holding in his hands...

Pei Yan's father also died.

This realization made Song Huan unable to bear to look at the young Pei Yan's face.

But this time, the young boy next to him just clenched his teeth tightly, without crying or shedding a single tear.

A mourning hall was set up in Pei Hou's mansion, and Pei Yan kept vigil for seven days. Song Huan watched him grow up step by step.

Just after the old Marquis Pei was buried, an imperial edict came from the palace.

The imperial edict stated that Hou Liang had provoked the border of Da Chu, and ordered Pei Yan to hand over the military order of the Pei family army. Emperor Xiaocheng would personally lead the Pei family army to pacify Hou Liang.

However, when Emperor Xiaocheng gave Pei Yan the first imperial edict, Pei Yan disobeyed it.

The next morning, he dressed in the crown prince's clothes and broke into the court with the imperial edict, asking Emperor Xiaocheng for permission to lead the Pei family army to repel the Later Liang.

All the officials did not dare to look up for a moment, and all of them obeyed orders submissively, fearing that Emperor Xiaocheng would vent his anger on them.

Pei Yan asked for permission, naturally lowering his head respectfully.

Only Song Huan looked at Emperor Xiaocheng openly and saw his face full of anger because of Pei Yan.

And... there was a flash of murderous intent across his face.

However, Emperor Xiaocheng did not order the killing of Pei Yan. Pei Yan's father had just died. If Pei Yan met with an accident at this time, even if Emperor Xiaocheng obtained the military order, the Pei family army would not obey him.

"allow."

After a long time, Song Huan saw Emperor Xiaocheng utter this word.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your permission."

Following the words of the young man Pei Yan, everything around Song Huan seemed to be accelerated, frame by frame, the whole world sped up.

Suddenly, Song Huan saw "herself", or rather... the original Song Huan.

Song Huan remembered this scene clearly.

When she first came to this world, the first memory she had of her original self was here.

Seeing the cold and ruthless Pei Yanyan again, Song Huan unexpectedly felt familiar and kind.

But it was not long before they got married, and Song Huan already knew what happened next.

The system said that Pei Yan might be immersed in a dream and unable to wake up, but nothing happened afterwards that would prevent Pei Yan from waking up, right?

Song Huan arrived at the day when "she" and Pei Yan were getting married with doubts in her heart.

That day, she followed Pei Yan since dawn, and inevitably heard some of his little secrets.

For example, he instructed Pei Chen to send a group of "secret guards" into the Marquis' Mansion at night... Humph, stinky Pei Yan, now it's confirmed.

She was stabbed in the throat by the man in black at that time, and it was not unrelated to him.

But in the evening, Song Huan stared at Pei Yan with resentment as she followed him into Mingsong Hall, only to find that everything was different from what she had imagined.

Someone had taken off "her" bridal veil, and she was lying on the bed, bleeding from all her orifices, her death was horrific.

The maids and servants who had accompanied "her" to the Marquis's Mansion had their throats slit one by one.

The original body is dead? Hasn't she traveled through time yet?

Song Huan finally realized something was wrong.

If she hadn't traveled back to her original body, this place would no longer be Pei Yan's memory.

Could it be... the plot of the original book?

"Get rid of the people."

At this time, Song Huan saw Pei Yan frowning and ordered Pei Chen unhappily, "Replace the bed with a new one as well."

“…” Song Huan choked.

This guy really deserves a beating!

"Pei Yan!" She tried to talk to this guy.

However, she shouted at the top of her lungs, but Pei Yan didn't even look in her direction.

Song Huan couldn't help but feel anxious. The broken system allowed her to enter the dream and brought Pei Yan back from the dream, but she couldn't even talk to him. How could she bring him back to the real world?

"Pei Yan?"

"Pei Yanyan?"

"Pei Xiaoyan, Pei Dayan..."

Fortunately, from this day on, the speed seems to have returned to the one-to-one mode.

Song Huan was able to lie beside Pei Yan and call his name every night. Maybe one day he would be able to hear her speak.

But the dream proved that Song Huan was just daydreaming.

Until she and Pei Yan entered the military camp, watched him meet Cui Yuning, the heroine of the book, and then watched this guy fall in love with Cui Yuning... there was still no way for the two of them to communicate.

Song Huan lived in anger and worry every day.

She was angry that Pei Yan was actually attracted to Cui Yuning. No matter whether it was a dream or the plot of the original book, she felt unhappy just seeing Pei Yan and Cui Yuning meet.

But at the same time as she was angry, she was also worried that Pei Yan was really immersed in this dream.

If the story here really develops according to the original book, then wouldn't this guy die in his dream in the end?

When Song Huan thought about this, he became a little angry.

What the hell is this random task!

This broken system is poisonous. She and Pei Yan were living well, and everything in Da Chu had been resolved. Why did this happen out of nowhere?

Just when Song Huan was extremely anxious, a heavy snow fell in Ning County.

Pei Yan seemed to be worried that Cui Yuning would catch a cold, so he ordered Pei Chen to take him back to Pei Hou Mansion in Ning County.

"..." Song Huan's eyes went dark and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw the plot in the book that she had complained about so much.

Pei Yan and Cui Yuning were drinking.

The ground is covered with silver snow, there is a crescent moon in the sky, the cold-faced marquis and the little beauty, it is a perfect scene for making mistakes.

Song Huan no longer cared about anything else at this moment. She remembered that in the original book, Pei Yan did not kiss Cui Yuning.

But isn't this a dream? It doesn't necessarily follow the original storyline!

But if this guy really dares to kiss Cui Yuning, then he is living in a dream! If he dares to wake up, she will beat him into a big pig head!

Song Huan stood next to Cui Yuning, staring at Pei Yan opposite him with his big eyes without blinking.

One drink, two drinks, three drinks…it’s time to stand up and kiss.

Song Huan narrowed his eyes and stared at Pei Yan fiercely.

On this side, Pei Yan looked at Cui Yuning in front of him and bent down slightly.

But when he looked at Cui Yuning with his eyes closed, a vague figure suddenly flashed through his mind.

No, no... Who is that figure?

Pei Yan's eyes blurred and he passed out.

When Song Huan saw him faint, he was thinking that it was the same as the plot in the original book, but suddenly his eyes went white and he lost consciousness.

System: "Ding—Dear, congratulations on completing this random mission. You have gained ten years of health."

Song Huan vaguely heard the silent electronic sound of the broken system. His eyelids moved slightly and he slowly opened his eyes.

In front of her was a familiar curtain, and beside her lay the sleeping Pei Yan.

"Pei Yan?"

Song Huan called him anxiously, his voice sounding a little aggrieved, "Pei Yanyan, wake up?"

Pei Yan suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze deep: "What's wrong? I'm here."

Song Huan was startled. He reached out and grabbed Pei Yan's ears, pulling left and right. "Are you serious?"

In a trance, Pei Yan seemed to understand something.

That dream, that dream that was beyond his comprehension.

"Ma'am, did you dream about something too?"

Song Huan's body was actually still drunk. Her mind was very confused at the moment and she could hardly tell the difference between dreams and reality.

But even if she could tell the difference, she would still assert her sovereignty.

"Pei Yanyan, don't you like to drink the herbal tea I make in the summer?"

"From now on, when it's hot, I'll make you cold tea, and when it's cold, I'll warm your bed. You can't like other women, you can only like me..."

Pei Yan's eyes darkened, "Madam...will you warm the bed tonight?"

"Hmm..." Song Huan thought seriously, "It's not warm. The weather is hot now. Now is a good time to make herbal tea."

"No my lady, tonight is more for warming the bed."

Pei Yan's voice was hoarse as he gently coaxed her, "Besides, it's night time now. Drinking herbal tea won't let you sleep."

"Really?"

Song Huan blinked her hazy eyes: "Then, then listen to my husband, warm the quilt tonight..."

Before she could finish her words, her soft, pink lips were suddenly blocked, and the rest of her words turned into tiny moans...

Pei Yan's movements became increasingly frantic.

He ravaged Song Huan again and again, tormenting her until she begged for mercy.

In that dream he initially seemed to be present.

But after he saw Huanhuan's figure in a trance after drinking, he pulled himself out of it.

He watched the other him walk towards death step by step, alone...

"Huanhuan, Huanhuan..."

Pei Yan kept calling Song Huan's name...

Both of them reached the peak of pleasure at the same time.

But after the pleasure, there is always a price to pay.

That night, the two of them were so distracted by love that they forgot about soaking the hairtail fish.

A month later, Song Huan was "surprised" to find that her period had not come.

Another month later, Doctor You took Song Huan's pulse and told Pei Yan that she was pregnant again.

Fortunately, Song Huan did not feel any discomfort during her pregnancy. She ate well and slept well, and soon she gained weight.

Before giving birth to her second and third children, Song Huan often worried about being as fat as a ball.

Seven and a half months later, Song Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief after giving birth to two little babies, a boy and a girl.

Since you are pregnant with two, it is normal to be a little fat.
