My host is lazy again

Chapter 853 General Please Calm Down 32
"The general hasn't answered yet, is there anything to hide from me?"

Pei Zhanli took back his hand and said in a deep voice: "There is one."

Luo Jian tilted his head: "Is it related to me?"

He led her to sit down at the tea stall nearby, "Yeah."

She looked at him with black and white eyes, waiting for him to speak.

In fact, if you don't talk about this matter today, she will know about it when she returns home tomorrow. Pei Zhanli poured a cup of hot tea and put it in front of her, and said in a soft voice, "Yesterday, His Majesty decreed to lower my concubine to concubine."

Luo Jian was slightly stunned, "Why?"

"In the past three months, many spies from the Kingdom of Li have infiltrated into the imperial capital under the pretext of marriage, intending to assassinate officials and capable people of our dynasty and destroy Qi Yin's foundation."

He looked at her with deep eyes: "On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I led my subordinates to eradicate the spy base of Liguo, and made this matter known to Your Majesty afterwards."

Although this matter has nothing to do with Ji Ji, she is the princess of Liguo, so she will definitely be implicated, and she will bear the brunt of it.

The emperor wanted to appease all civil and military officials, and even more wanted to beat Liguo, so he demoted his concubine to concubine, and took back the favor he had paid to her before.The consort princess offended the emperor within two months of entering the palace, and she might be criticized in the harem in the future.

"She is kind to you, and you were once masters and servants... Madam will blame me?" Pei Zhanli squeezed the cup tightly in his hand, afraid of seeing disgust and sadness on her face.

She already hated him enough.

Luo Jian glanced at him strangely, "What are you blaming?"

Blame him for eradicating the stronghold of Li Guo's spies?
She held the teacup and pecked her mouth: "General, I'm not ignorant, so I naturally know that you are business-like."

As long as the conflict between Liguo and Qiyin still exists, Princess Xiji will be implicated sooner or later.Luo Jian felt that the princess should have been mentally prepared for this when she was sent to be married.

When you enter the palace tomorrow, go and comfort her.

Seeing her calm and composed, Pei Zhanli secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "You really think so?"

"Ah."

"That's fine."

His eyes were lowered, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and his handsome and tough features were slightly softened, "Madam, let's have some tea."

Luo Jian accidentally caught a glimpse of his smile and winced, "Oh."

She took a sip of her tea, then peeked at him, "General, are you kidding me by bringing me out today?"

If you want to prepare things to return home, there are so many precious treasures in the mansion, you can just pick a few of them, there is no need to go out specially, and these folk gadgets are what you buy.

The emperor didn't like it.

The general was tall and straight, sitting upright, looking at her with fiery and straightforward eyes: "Yes, I'm coaxing you, I'm afraid you won't be happy if you find out."

"……thanks."

The girl bowed her head to drink tea, her face was clean and well-behaved.

The two sat on the tea stand for a while, then got up and continued shopping.

There were many people on the street. When she was hit by a passerby, Pei Zhanli held her hand, and the two shoulders were close together.

Halfway through the shopping, Luo Jian stepped on the bamboo dragonfly that the two children had just bought.

She didn't mean it, the bamboo dragonfly flew to her feet, she didn't notice it.

Looking at the "corpse" of the bamboo dragonfly, the two children cried very sadly.

Luo Jian went to a small vendor selling bamboo dragonflies to buy two, lost one to them, and kept the remaining one for herself.Rub it in your hand and let it go, and the bamboo dragonfly will fly up, which is quite fun.

She folded her palms together and rubbed the thin bamboo back and forth a few times with great interest, then let go and watched the bamboo dragonfly fly up to the sky with its strength, then slowly descend, and then was stepped on by someone...

Luo Jian: "..."
