When Pei Xiner heard the news that Sun and Li were looking for Ruilan and Ruixiang, she just smiled and didn't pay much attention.

Although the New Year is over, there are still a lot of things at home. Especially the palace banquet that day received many invitations from the housekeeper's wife. I originally thought that she was not in harmony with them, but it was just a verbal exchange. Who knew that after the New Year, various things would happen?

Invitations flew in like a snowflake, and people were invited to banquets under various names.

She participated. Although she knew clearly that those people wanted to please Zhao Yutai through her, but she couldn't do it if she didn't go - going didn't mean that she had to accept others' flattery, but not going would be a clear slap in the face.

, even if you don’t want to accept the flattery of those people, you can’t offend them because of it.

So she had to dress up and go out to banquets with people she didn't know at all. She was extremely busy and miserable.

She is not a sociable person to begin with, otherwise she would not have had many friends in all her past and present lives. What's more, those wives from official families are okay, most of them are relatively well-versed in human affairs, and they will not be affected by her low background.

And easily underestimated her, but those ladies did not

She has enough experience and knowledge, and often can't help but show contempt when she hears about her origins. No matter how generous-minded she is and doesn't feel dissatisfied, she can't help being embarrassed again and again. Later, she becomes more and more concerned about this kind of daily life.

One day of tedious gatherings is already very tiring.

Zhao Yuchang experienced several situations where he could not see her after returning home. The reason for her disappearance was always going out for banquets, so he felt a little uncomfortable. It was not that he was unhappy to see Pei Xin'er being raped by a prince, noble, or a member of an official family.

The family members accepted the scene, but

Frequent outings and banquets like this have delayed her work and time at home, which is very bad. Especially when he often comes home after a hard day's work, but does not see Pei Xin'er's warm smile and meticulous consideration.

, which made him feel very unhappy.

On this day, Pei Xin'er had attended a flower viewing party held by a lady. When she returned home, the lights were already on. Zhao Yutai had already returned home and was playing with a few children, absent-mindedly from time to time.

Look up and look outside the door.

She walked in the door tiredly. Seeing Zhao Yutang rarely being with the children, she couldn't help but be stunned. Before she could say anything, she saw Brother Chun immediately kicking his short legs and "kick, kick, kick" as soon as he saw her.

"Deng" rushed over, pounced on her, and hugged her calves tightly with a pair of small hands. She burst into tears.

She couldn't help being frightened, and hurriedly knelt down to pick up her son, and couldn't help but comfort her: "Brother Chun is good, brother Chun doesn't cry, what's wrong? What wronged you? Tell mother quickly."

After saying that, she couldn't help but raise her head and glance at Zhao Yuchang suspiciously.

Brother Chun has always been very well-behaved. Although he is inevitably naughty, he rarely cries. It is really rare to see him crying like this today, which makes her have to wonder if it is Zhao who brings them once in a while.

Something went wrong in Yutang, which made the children angry.

Zhao Yutong himself was stunned and surprised. He had no idea why Brother Chun, who had been so good just now, suddenly started crying. When he accidentally saw Pei Xin'er's eyes, he couldn't help but feel confused about whether to laugh or cry. There was also a trace of

Resentment and dissatisfaction welled up in my heart.

He is busy with his official duties. It is true that he seldom gets along with the children, but this does not mean that he cannot get along with the children. He may even make the children cry!

I just heard Brother Chun twitching and sobbing, crying out of breath, saying intermittently: "Mother...ignored us...Mother...I don't see you..."

When Pei Xiner heard this, her heart was suddenly shocked. Thinking back, she had been busy with social activities outside these days, and it really was a long time since she had spent time with the children. She opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a word. She only felt that

It was so sour, as if there was something stuck in the throat. When the nose was sore, the eyes instantly became wet.

With Brother Chun's words, Sister Xian also opened her mouth wide and began to cry. Although Sister Fang is not Pei Xiner's biological child, she has become familiar with Brother Chun and the others these days. Infected by this atmosphere, she grinned.

, also cried loudly, and in the end, even the eldest and most sensible sister Ling couldn't help but shed tears.

For a moment, everyone in the room burst into tears.

When Zhao Yutang saw it, he couldn't help but feel a faint pain in his forehead. He sighed helplessly, walked forward to help Pei Xin'er up, picked up Brother Chun, took the woman's hand and brought her to the chair, and ordered Ying Ying

Son, Juaner and the others brought towels and water to wipe away the tears and wash the faces of the four, four and five people. It took them a long time to stop their tears, but they couldn't help but hiccup.

Zhao Yutiao couldn't help but laugh. He looked at them angrily and amusedly, and said: "Okay, okay, is it okay for a mother to cry with her children? You don't have to spoil the children. Seeing you cry, they will

Where can I stop? Stop crying, you don't have to make people laugh."

Pei Xin'er felt ashamed and regretful in her heart, her tears seemed to be unable to be wiped away no matter how hard she tried. Her eyes were crying like peaches, but she also knew that what Zhao Yuchang said was reasonable and it was worth enduring the sourness in her heart. She hugged Brother Chun and looked at

He looked at him and said softly: "It's mom's fault. Mom shouldn't have ignored you. Mom won't be able to do it anymore. Mom will definitely spend more time to accompany you in the future."

Brother Chun is a good and filial boy. When he saw his mother crying, he stopped crying. Instead, he stretched out his little hand to wipe the tears from her face and said softly: "Mother, don't cry, brother Chun."

Don't cry either, mother will be with Brother Chun from now on, and we will play together."

Pei Xiner's tears welled up again, and she couldn't help but hugged her lovely son tightly, sobbing and said, "Okay, from now on, mother will play with Brother Chun."

Sister Xian felt aggrieved immediately when she saw the two of them being so close. She waddled over with the help of the wet nurse, threw herself into Pei Xiner's arms, pushed Brother Chun half out, and hugged Pei Xiner's neck.

The child kept shouting: "Hug, hug..."

She was young and didn't know that Pei Xin'er was not her biological mother. She had just been brought up by her since she was a child, so she had already identified with her, so it was inevitable that she would become "jealous" now.

Fortunately, Brother Chun was kind-hearted. When he saw his sister fighting for his mother, he knew how to let his sister go. Each of the two children hugged Pei Xiner, which made Pei Xiner's heart soften into a ball of paste.

Sister Fang was older after all. Seeing them hugging each other, her eyes couldn't help but reveal full of envy and longing. She bit her fingers and stood aside feeling extremely lonely.

Sister Ling saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to hold her sister's hand. Sister Fang turned her head and looked at her sister. Her sister's warmth came from her little hand, and her heart seemed to warm up all of a sudden, so she looked at her sister stupidly.

She laughed. Seeing her smile, Sister Ling couldn't help but show off her face.

Zhao Yutiao watched all this from the side, and unknowingly the corner of his mouth had turned upward. He picked up the tea at hand and sipped it gently, not to disturb their warm scene.

Perhaps in order to compensate the children, Pei Xiner played with them for a long time before letting their nannies take them back to rest. After sending the children away, the tired look on her face could no longer be concealed.

Seeing such an extreme situation, Zhao Yutang couldn't help but feel a slight pain in his heart. He had to cough dryly and force his attention away from her body.

"It's so late, have you had a meal?" he asked.

Pei Xiner nodded and said, "I just came back after eating. Have you ever used it?"

Zhao Yutiao also nodded, looked at her and said, "In that case, let's wash up and get settled early."

Pei Xin'er wanted to lie down a long time ago, so she naturally had no objection when she heard this. She asked Ying'er and Juan'er to put in hot water, take a good bath, put on her middle coat and climbed into bed. She immediately collapsed on the bed and never wanted to move again.

Zhao Yutiao also took off his coat and went to bed. Looking at her tired look, he said lightly: "Since you are so tired, you can just refuse those banquets in the future."

Pei Xin'er opened her eyes, looked at him and asked, "I pushed back those banquets. Is it okay for Master Yu?"

Zhao Yutang's eyes flashed, he leaned down and kissed her red lips, and said: "It doesn't matter. If I have to rely on you to socialize with others in order to protect myself and the Zhao family, wouldn't it be so useless?!

"

Pei Xiner pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "What I said is true, but I am too worried about my body."

She was really tired now, and what happened just now reminded her that no matter what, she couldn't let other things hinder her getting along with her child. The child was still young, so he needed his mother

When you are young, it is never too much to stay by your children's side. No one or thing is more important than your children!

From now on, she should spend less time out and spend more time and energy on her children!

She thought for a while and said: "Although I am not worried about the power behind those ladies, it would be inappropriate to reject them all at once. Why don't you ask me to help me give advice on which ones must go and which ones can go?"

But if you don’t go, if you make a clear distinction like this, we won’t lose the face of our general’s mansion.”

Zhao Yutang nodded, glanced at her, and suddenly pulled her nose with hatred and said: "It should have been like this a long time ago. Why didn't you ask me for help earlier?"

Pei Xiner rubbed her nose and looked away awkwardly, having to admit that she was really stupid on this matter.

Zhao Yutang looked at her funny, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Actually, you really don't have to think about the banquet anymore. Just get ready and go hunting with me."

"Hunting?!" Pei Xin'er opened her eyes wide and looked at him in surprise and asked, "When? Who are you going with?"

Zhao Yuchang smiled and said: "Today, the emperor said that he will go hunting at Zhangde hunting ground in two days, and the civil and military ministers will follow him." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to recommend it.
