7. Plum Blossom Birthmark
Early the next morning, General Ye's Mansion was already busy. Ye Chong also spent a lot of thought on his mistress's birthday.
But Pei Qi doesn't care about these.
What she cared about was the right-hand minister, Rong Qin, who arrived late at noon.
And...his prime minister's wife, Ye Rou.
In order to observe Ye Rou as much as possible, Pei Qi simply made up and turned into a servant beforehand, leaning leisurely next to the inconspicuous rockery at the banquet, half-lying down and taking a nap.
It wasn't until Rong Qin appeared and everyone present stood up to compliment her that she lazily raised her eyes and turned her indifferent gaze to Rong Qin's position outside the door without any disturbance.
I haven't seen him for a few days, and Rong Qin is still as unpredictable as before, but there is some unknown tiredness in his brows. It is estimated that these days, things in the court have kept him very busy.
It's just that by now, he has probably solved all the problems. Otherwise, how could he be so merciful as to reward General Ye and let General Ye meet his beloved daughter?
Pei Qi sneered secretly and calmly turned his gaze from Rong Qin to Ye Rou behind him.
The girl, who had icy muscles and jade bones, followed Rong Qin with her head lowered cautiously, not daring to make any unnecessary movements.
She looked so cowardly, as if Rong Qin would burst into tears just by saying something to her.
I heard that not long after she entered the Prime Minister's Palace, she was imprisoned in a separate courtyard by Rong Qin. No one dared to let her out without Rong Qin's order.
After marrying such a gentle and delicate beauty, Rong Qin really didn't know what to do since he was put in solitary confinement.
But it's not surprising, Rong Qin is a very ruthless person, so what about beauty? In the face of power, he is not worth mentioning.
Ye Chong naturally noticed Rong Qin's arrival, but the old man still had a temper after all. He ignored Rong Qin and pulled his daughter to him, carefully looking left and right, for fear that she would lose a piece of her flesh.
Maybe it was the reunion after a long absence, and Ye Rou's nose couldn't help but feel sore. Looking at Ye Chong's aggrieved look, she didn't dare to cry because Rong Qin was present.
I can only hold it in.
Rong Qin was not annoyed either. He thought it was Ye Chong who was furious because of his incompetence. He waved his hand impatiently: "I'll give you a stick of incense to reminisce about the past. Come on down."
Hearing this, Ye Rou finally raised her head in surprise and saluted Rong Qin: "Thank you, husband!"
Husband...
Pei Qi felt a headache when he thought about how he would address Rong Qin like this all day long.
If you accept Rong Qin as your husband, even if you just pretend to shout a few times, it will be bad luck.
After Ye Chong took Ye Rou to his mistress's room, Pei Qi stood up from the rockery, patted the dust on his clothes, smiled lightly, and walked straight to the door.
When passing by Rong Qin, Rong Qin also noticed her.
The moment she looked at Rong Qin, Pei Qi lowered her eyes sharply, and the clarity in her eyes turned into a look of respect. She leaned forward slightly and saluted: "Master Rong."
Rong Qin narrowed his eyes almost invisible, and the sudden displeasure made him frown.
He didn't know why, but when he saw this boy, he felt inexplicably disgusted.
Seeing that he didn't make any extra moves, Pei Qi simply passed Rong Qin and walked towards the direction where Ye Chong and Ye Rou disappeared just now.
Where Rong Qin couldn't see him, Pei Qi curled his lips with unknown meaning.
Rong Qin, what does it matter if you know that I am a girl? Even if I appear in front of you in the same way, you still won't notice.
You think your plan is perfect, but I can still squeeze in the cracks to survive.
The game between you and me is not over yet.
When they arrived at the mistress of the Ye family's bedroom, Ye Rou had already burst into tears, and all the grievances she had accumulated for a long time turned into tears and burst out.
This poor girl may only dare to cry so unscrupulously when she is at home.
Seeing Pei Qi come in, Ye Chong wiped away the old tears on his face, pulled Ye Rou to walk in front of her, and asked Ye Rou to kneel in front of her: "Ah Rou, please thank the Imperial Master for your great kindness."
Ye Rou sniffed, looked at Pei Qi with grateful eyes, and kowtowed heavily without hesitation: "My little girl, Ye Rou, thank you, Master Imperial Master, for your kindness. Ye Rou will never forget it!"
When Pei Qi was stunned, Ye Rou had already fallen to the ground. She smiled slightly and subdued her. She shook her head: "It doesn't matter, it's just that everyone gets what they need. Miss Arou doesn't need to worry about it."
"Just after leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Miss Arou's life will not be easy. Before Rong Qin finds me, you may not be able to return to Ye Mansion."
If there is one more Ye Rou in the Prime Minister's Mansion, another Ye Rou will disappear.
Ye Rou showed a wry smile and held Pei Qi tightly with her slender and soft hands: "Everything in the Prime Minister's Mansion is a past that I don't want to recall in my life. As long as I can leave there, will I still care about whether my life is easy?"
Ye Chong listened and couldn't help but feel sorry for his daughter. He wished he could rush out and beat Rong Qin right now.
Pei Qi, on the other hand, didn't have any big fluctuations.
In today's world, women are generally the same. When they marry into a strange place, their food, clothing, and luxury all depend on the husband they marry.
What's more, Ye Rou is just a tool for him to seize the military power from General Ye. As long as Ye Chong is slightly dishonest, it will be the beginning of Ye Rou's misery, so there is no mention of her having a good life in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Pei Qi pursed his lips, took off the servant's human skin mask on his face, and replaced it with Ye Rou's.
Even Ye Rou herself couldn't tell the slightest clue when she saw the face that was exactly like her own.
Jianglingfeng's stuff is really useful.
After the two of them had changed their clothes, Ye Rou signaled Pei Qi to wait while she ran to the inner room and took out a brush and a pair of paints.
"What is this?" Pei Qi raised his eyebrows.
Ye Rou lowered her head, dipped a brush in some red paint, walked behind Pei Qi, and whispered: "I have a plum blossom birthmark on my shoulder. Rong Qin has seen it before."
I see.
If Ye Rou hadn't mentioned it yet, even she had neglected it.
"This paint is specially made by dad. It cannot be washed away with ordinary water. As long as it is not stained with alcohol, this birthmark can be preserved forever."
After Ye Rou finished painting, Pei Qi turned sideways and looked in the mirror to see the birthmark clearly.
The painting is quite lifelike.
After confirming the shape of the birthmark, Pei Qi turned around and bent towards Ye Rou: "Miss Lao Ye, you are thoughtful."
Ye Rou shook her head in embarrassment: "Master Imperial Master is my benefactor, so there is no need to be polite."
Pei Qi smiled and gathered his clothes.
From now on, she will contact Rong Qin as Ye Rou. The real Ye Rou will completely leave the imperial capital after today, and Pei Qi will also disappear from Rong Qin's sight.
As long as Ye Rou's identity is not discovered, even if Rong Qin searches the entire Dasheng Kingdom, he will not be able to find Pei Qi.
