Chapter 220 "Help me tie my belt."
Hearing the noise coming from outside the door, Pei Jingxu subconsciously tensed up.
The belt around her waist was loose, and Rong Jianxue could wrap one hand around her waist and slowly help her adjust the belt.
Pei Jingxu's voice trembled slightly: "Yes, someone..."
"Well," Rong Jianxue said calmly, "Put on your clothes."
Pei Jingxu pursed her lips slightly and opened her mouth: "Ah Xu, do it yourself..."
Why is he... so slow?
It doesn't look like he's helping her get dressed...
——It’s obvious that he hasn’t sorted himself out yet.
She wanted to take the laces from Rong Jianxue's hand, but he held her wrist with his other hand.
Turning her from his arms, Rong Jianxue took her hand and touched his waist.
"Help me tie my belt."
Pei Jingxu: “…”
Can't you just tie your own?
Although thinking this in his heart, Pei Jingxu said nothing on his face. He lowered his head and helped the man tidy up his clothes.
Zhang Fu, the temple official outside the door, thought that the people inside hadn't heard him, so he raised his voice a little higher and said respectfully, "Master Shaofu, I have something to discuss with you."
The friction between clothes produces a rustling sound.
The two people's robes were entangled with each other, creating an inexplicably charming atmosphere.
Rong Jianxue lowered his eyes and helped her tie the belt: "Master Temple Secretary, please wait a moment."
Upon hearing this, the temple secretary outside the door hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes."
Although he said this on the surface, the temple secretary was actually wondering in his heart: What is the young master busy with?
Looking up cautiously, Sicheng noticed the overlapping figures on the window paper.
Because Pei Jingxu had already left the door frame, the two intertwined figures did not look obvious.
When the temple secretary saw this, he frowned slightly and became suspicious: Are the young master and the second lady at the entrance?
If you are at the entrance, why not open the door?
In the clan room, Pei Jingxu was the first to tie his belt.
Seeing that he was still helping her tie it slowly, Pei Jingxu said softly: "I, I can do it myself..."
Rong Jianxue did not listen to her. She held the soft jade belt in front of her waist and applied a little force with her hands.
"Junmou..." Pei Jingxu whispered, "It's too tight..."
The man lowered his eyes, his expression unchanged, but he relaxed his strength slightly: "Now?"
"Still... a little tight..."
There was a flicker of emotion in her eyes, and Rong Jianxue spoke in a steady voice, not trying to lower it deliberately: "Pei Jingxu, relax a little, your hands can't move."
Two joints were placed between her belt, and Rong Jianxue's finger bones hooked the thin belt around her waist.
Pei Jingxu had no doubts and said with a hint of guilt, "Thank you, Junmou..."
Suddenly, the voice of the temple minister came from outside the door again: "Ahem! That, that! Master Young Master, Second Madam, I, I suddenly remembered that I have other important matters to attend to. I will discuss this with Master Young Master another day!"
Pei Jingxu raised his eyes and looked at the man in front of him blankly.
Rong Jianxue stood straight, standing in front of her like a jade mountain, with her chin slightly raised and a slightly unclear curve at the corner of her lips.
"Since the Temple Secretary is so busy, let's discuss this another day."
Temple Secretary Zhang Fu was so frightened that he kowtowed several times in the direction of the ancestral hall, then turned around and ran away in a panic!
The footsteps disappeared very quickly.
The man in front of her finally took a few steps back, putting some distance between them.
"Jiang Hui said you went out shopping today."
Sitting back at the table, Rong Jianxue wiped his hands and looked at her leisurely.
Pei Jingxu's ears turned red, she bit her lip and nodded: "Yeah, just strolling around."
"Just tell the warehouse if you need anything for your new house," Rong Jianxue said calmly. "When shopping, just buy the small things you like. If you like anything big, have Jiang Hui go get it."
Pei Jingxu nodded: "Ah Xu knows."
After wiping his hands clean, Rong Jianxue looked at Pei Jingxu beside him.
Pei Jingxu understood, took a few steps forward and sat next to him.
He stretched out his hand, and Pei Jingxu obediently handed it over.
After changing to a clean wet towel, Rong Jianxue helped her wipe her hands.
Pei Jingxu looked at the man in front of her who was wiping her hands meticulously, and a hint of emotion flashed in her eyes.
"Guard Jiang said... tomorrow is the Bai family's enthronement ceremony."
The wet towel carefully wiped her fingertips and finger joints, and their finger bones were intertwined, which was particularly pleasing to the eye.
"Yes," he replied without any emotion, "it is true."
Pei Jingxu lowered his eyes and spoke softly, "Ah Xu...can I come with you to the enthronement ceremony tomorrow?"
Hearing this, Rong Jianxue's lips curled up slightly: "You have never liked occasions like this."
Pei Jingxu lowered his head, his voice sounding a little sour: "Master Shaofu can go, Ah Xu also wants to go..."
"Tomorrow, the Bai family will be so prosperous. Who knows if the adults will be tempted..."
Rong Jianxue chuckled softly, a hint of amusement etched across her brows. "Your Majesty has ordered me to handle the enthronement ceremony, and the various procedures involved have consumed a great deal of my energy. Pei Jingxu, if you were me, would you be tempted by such an official task?"
Pei Jingxu pulled her hand away from him and insisted, "Master, you don't want to take Ah Xu with you?"
Rong Jianxue said gently, "Pei Jingxu, what I mean is that even if you don't tell me, I will take you with me."
"Official duties are tedious and trivial. Only with you by my side can I pass the time."
…
On the other side, the temple secretary ran all the way out of the backyard of the Dali Temple and all the way to the front yard, about 800 meters away from the clan house. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I still feel scared.
The temple minister came into the room, grabbed the teacup beside him and drank the tea in one gulp.
Thinking of what he had just heard outside the clan house, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
Oh my God...
Master Shaofu and Madam Pei Er...
Impossible impossible!
Maybe he heard it wrong?
But those words, coupled with the two overlapping figures he saw...
Si Cheng shook his head, putting the situation behind him and trying to forget it!
——He wants to swallow this matter into his mouth and let it rot in his stomach!
If Master Young Master knew about this, he would probably lose his head!

Pei Jingxu came back from the Dali Temple with Rong Jianxue.
It was getting late, and tomorrow would be the Bai family's enthronement ceremony. After Pei Jingxu washed up, he lay down on the bed to rest.
Today, when I was accompanying Rong Jianxue to read the files in the Dali Temple, I learned some things from him.
It seems that Bai Shutong is not as favored by His Majesty as Pei Jingxu imagined. After all, if he really favors her, she should be included in the harem and made a concubine or queen, instead of using the reputation of the Bai family's medical skills to save the world and treat the army to confer her the title of Princess Anyang in name only.
In the original script, there was no plot about Bai Shutong being crowned as a princess. She remembered that in the second half of the plot, all the powerful young men in the capital were subservient to her and were willing to go through fire and water for her.
In order to monopolize Bai Shutong, Chen Qianfan actually thought of giving up the throne to the crown prince and no longer pursuing the throne. He only asked the emperor to return Bai Shutong to her so that he could live with her in harmony and grow old together.
The emperor was also obsessed with Bai Shutong and rejected Shen Qianfan's request. Shen Qianfan was furious and forced the emperor to abdicate.
However, the current plot seems to be getting further and further away from what Pei Jingxu knows.
Pei Jingxu has to explore the road ahead carefully, step by step.

The next morning.
Hongyao knocked on the door and said, "Miss, it's time to get up. The young master is waiting for you outside the mansion."
Pei Jingxu propped herself up and yawned. Hongyao came over and helped Pei Jingxu wash up while gently reminding her, "Miss, today's enthronement ceremony... The Second Young Master is also here."
