When Pei Jinting said that she was good-looking and had good posture, her tone was extremely frivolous, and her lips curled up,
"What is the name of such a beauty?"
The eunuch looked like he was hesitating to speak, and said something as if to stop him,
"Captain Pei, this slave has offended His Highness and is about to drive her to the Clothing Bureau. You must not let her taint your ears."
Pei Jinting turned her toes, let go of the maid's chin, raised her eyebrows slightly, and her eyes were illuminated by the red lanterns on the corridor, shining brightly.
"What's it called?"
He asked again in a melodious tone.
The palace man's originally tense posture softened a little, and he said shyly and timidly.
"My servant Yuyuan has met Governor Pei."
Pei Jinting let out a long "Oh", raised her chin in a casual manner, and asked in a clear voice,
"What Yuan?"
The palace man was flattered and looked up at Pei Jinting. After receiving the man's affirmative look, he said softly as if he was encouraged,
"Yuan, beautiful jade."
Pei Jinting paused and chuckled again, his voice falling in the palace man's ears. His body became numb and he lowered his head, revealing his fair and delicate neck.
The eunuch on the side felt relieved when he saw Pei Jinting's frivolous and dissolute attitude.
He had observed that when Young Master Pei came in and saw Yuyuan's posture, his eyes never moved away from her.
In addition, he kept asking questions, and although it looked like a joke, he also gave everyone a signal.
The great eunuch bowed and smiled,
"Sir, this palace servant was sent by the empress. He only does cleaning work on weekdays."
This means that this palace servant has not been employed by the prince, so it is a clean voice. It also implies that Pei Jinting can beg him to go if he likes it.
It was not like Pei Jinting had never done this kind of thing before, and he had also fallen in love with the palace maids of the East Palace.
The prince had been in poor health since childhood and had a gentle temper. He could tolerate Pei Jinting's unreasonable requests.
The palace man knelt and moved to Pei Jinting, grabbing the hem of his clothes and saying,
"This slave is willing to serve the Master, and I beg for His mercy..."
When the palace man came forward, Pei Jinting took a step back, took the hem of her clothes out of her hands, leaned forward slightly, and looked at the palace man with his head raised with a smile.
His expression is intriguing,
"You must know who you look like, right? Whose name is similar to yours?"
The palace man stared blankly at the handsome face in front of him, and nodded as if he was bewitched.
Pei Jinting snorted, a storm brewing in his dark eyes,
"You know everything."
On one side, the eunuch whose whip was stained with blood felt his heart skip a beat when he saw Pei Jinting looking over coldly.
"The people sent by the Queen? Who are you fooling? Who are you humiliating?"
He lowered his head, straightened the hem of his clothes, and looked at the shoe uppers that had just hooked his chin in disgust.
"He Zheng. I'll leave this to you." After saying that, he went straight to the East Palace to see the prince without even looking at the palace servants with pear blossoms and rain on the ground.
After not walking far, I saw him turning around again and saying to He Zheng in a solemn voice,
"Be clear-headed and don't be merciful just because of a face. If you don't handle it well, don't blame me for dealing with you too."
He disdainfully, arrogantly, with contempt on the corners of his lips,
"Is anyone worthy of showing off in front of me?"
"Meiyu...is she worthy?"
People at that time always thought that Pei Jinting was a dissolute man who wandered around in the wind, moon and flowers.
I don’t know, but no one can make him take it seriously.
There has always been only one Gu Qingyuan who he is willing to take seriously and pity.
His aunt and his cousin tried every possible means to get people around him, using all possible means.
After meeting the prince, Pei Jinting went out of the palace. Before meeting Gu Qingyuan, he did not forget to tell He Zheng,
"Keep your mouth shut and don't let the affairs of the East Palace leak to the Young Madam..."
Unexpectedly, Pei Jinting did not see Gu Qingyuan in the courtyard after returning to the Zhenguo Palace.
In the yard, it was pitch black.
Fortunately, He Zheng had a lantern in his hand, otherwise he would have had to enter the house in the dark.
Arriving at the door, Pei Jinting held up the lantern, opened the door and entered the house.
Gu Qingyuan was never seen in the house.
These days, Gu Qingyuan is recuperating, and the details in the city have been sorted out. Pei Jinting spends most of his time at home with Gu Qingyuan.
The two saw each other every day, and their affection was much stronger than before.
Suddenly I had never seen Gu Qingyuan, and I felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
He walked around the inner and outer rooms, but saw no sign of Gu Qingyuan, and his heart slowly lifted.
I thought about it for a while, what happened?
When he came out of the East Palace, he was going to pick her up and go back home with him, but the person he sent came back and said that Gu Qingyuan had returned home.
Then he came back from the palace in a hurry.
There was no one in the house, so he went to the study again, but still no one was there.
Just as he was about to go to the front to find Gu Shao, he saw Gu Qingyuan coming in with someone from outside.
The two of them bumped into each other.
Pei Jinting was completely unaware of what happened to Gu Qingyuan in the palace.
He held Gu Qingyuan's hand, rubbed it, and asked passionately,
"Didn't you come back a long time ago? Why is it that the courtyard is still in total darkness?"
He paused, thinking something had happened to her, "Who offended you? Are you angry with the empress in the palace?"
Gu Qingyuan's eyes seemed to have an extra fire, bright and dazzling, and she snorted lightly,
"I've arranged a concubine for you."
Pei Jinting suddenly felt something was wrong. Not long after he put his heart down, it was pinched again.
Immediately, he hugged Gu Qingyuan and walked into the house. His eyebrows were slightly raised, and his peach blossom eyes with slightly raised eyebrows were filled with seriousness.
"Gu Yuanyuan, you can get angry with me, but you can't push me to other women."
He thought for a moment, stood up, took off his coat and shoes, threw them outside, and told the maid,
"Burn it, and don't even leave any fragments behind."
Gu Qingyuan was still angry at first, but now her tone was very cold,
"Captain Pei is so majestic. He burns his clothes and shoes when he comes back... Is this because the grounds of the Duke's mansion are dirty?"
Pei Jinting sat next to her, his arms resting on her side, with a slight curvature at the corner of his mouth, and his voice floated lazily into Gu Qingyuan's ears,
"It's because the clothes and shoes are dirty. They are not worthy of the land of the Duke of Zhenguo."
"Is the queen having trouble again? Then I'll go to the school grounds and run ten laps to calm the young lady down?"
The corners of Gu Qingyuan's mouth curled up slightly and she couldn't help but say,
"Pei Jingheng, you are so shameless."
He said and gave him a hard look.
Pei Jinting touched Gu Qingyuan's face, full of comfort,
"It's not what you think. I can't afford a concubine. I still need a lot of maids to pour night fragrance at home..."
Gu Qingyuan dared to bring the palace servants around the queen back to the house, so she had to think of how to arrange them.
When Pei Jinting said that he was going to send some night fragrance, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Before going to bed, Gu Qingyuan and the prey that fell into the trap were held in Pei Jinting's arms.
A chuckle escaped from the throat,
"I'll leave everything to you...how can I still have the energy to pay attention to others?"
The next day, Gu Qingyuan woke up and did not see Pei Jinting, but received a letter first.
As soon as I opened it, a familiar hairpin fell out.
