Chapter 17 The Disgust Decreased

Facing Mrs. Xie's twinkling eyes, Simiaomiao hesitated.

"Perhaps An Lan is tired of the life of wandering outside, and she wants to return to Beijing to serve Mrs. Xie."

After she finished speaking, Mrs. Xie shook her head and chuckled: "That's not the case. I brought up An Lan since she was a child. I know her nature very well. Just now, the girl from the Xue family said that she got married early because she came back to see her. I knew it was false as soon as I heard it."

Simiaomiao blinked, his black pupils were clear, and his red lips were slightly pursed: "Why is the old lady so sure?"

"When An Lan left the capital, she said that she would travel all over the world and never come back until she became famous, but now she suddenly returns to the capital, saying that she wants to start a family." Mrs. Xie's kind smile gradually subsided: "She knows most of the young men of the same age in the capital. If there is someone she likes and wants to get married, why would she think of leaving two years ago?"

Simiaomiao didn't answer the words, but secretly sighed in his heart.

Older gingers are more spicy.

Suddenly, Mrs. Xie suddenly stood up and wanted to kneel down for Simiaomiao. She was so frightened that Simiaomiao quickly reached out to support the gray-haired old man in front of him: "Mrs. Xie, what are you doing!?"

Mrs. Xie raised her head, her eyes could not hide the panic and fear: "Did An Lan provoke some important people who shouldn't be provoked outside, and came back to Beijing to hide?"

Simiaomiao frowned, and quickly explained: "No, old lady, actually..."

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Xie, who was caught in her own brainstorm, blamed herself again: "She liked to fight since she was a child, and she has a strong fist and foot, so she will inevitably hurt others. She has encountered many disasters since she was a child. So even though she was born in a general family, I can only discipline her strictly. I only want her to live a smooth and stable life, and find an ordinary family to marry like a lady."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Xie had a sad look on her face: "I asked her to learn female red, and she stabbed people with needles. I asked her to learn to play the piano, and she played music to cows. I even asked her to paint, but she wrote on paper with a paintbrush: Ten steps kill one person."

She held Simiaomiao's hand tightly: "Your Highness, tell me the truth, did she hurt someone?"

"no……"

Mrs. Xie interrupted what she was going to say, and hurriedly asked: "Could it be that you beat someone to death?"

Simiaomiao just opened his mouth and didn't even say the word "no", but tears flashed suddenly in the eyes of Mrs. Xie.

She sat back on the chair wearily, with a sad tone: "I only have such a granddaughter. If something bad happens to her, what am I going to do when I am old? Your Royal Highness, I implore you for the sake of An Lan growing up with you, take care of her, and don't let her be punished too harshly."

Simiao Miao originally wanted to persuade her, but when she saw Mrs. Xie's tears rolled down her eyes, she couldn't bear to see the old man like this, so she had to bite the bullet and said, "Actually, An Lan came back this time to help my palace."

Mrs. Xie paused: "What's the matter?"

"I want to become a bosom friend with Prime Minister Pei, but he has a cold and unkind personality, so I can't do anything. It just so happens that An Lan is near Gyeonggi, so when I heard about this, I came back to help me make suggestions."

Si Miaomiao watched as the tears in Mrs. Xie's eyes faded little by little, and then she smiled lovingly: "Is it really because of this?"

"Truer than pearls."

Mrs. Xie suddenly smiled gently: "Your Highness, since you want to know, why don't you ask me? What does she know about An Lan? When Pei Cheng just entered the court at a young age, I knew him very well."

Simiao Miao's starry eyes lit up: "Really? Does the old lady know what Prime Minister Pei likes? So that I can match what I like."

Mrs. Xie thought for a moment, pulled out two things from her long-term memory, shook the ashes, and thought about it carefully.

Prime Minister Pei, he probably likes chrysanthemums...

I remember one year on the Double Ninth Festival, when everyone was planting dogwood and mugwort, but Prime Minister Pei fell down among the chrysanthemum bushes.

Also last year on the first emperor's birthday, when Pei Qingshang saw the bonsai chrysanthemum on the seat, he stood up directly.

It's not like chrysanthemums what is this?
Mrs. Xie told the truth: "It must be a chrysanthemum."

"Chrysanthemum?" Si Miaomiao couldn't associate this flower with Pei Qingshang's image at all.

When it comes to chrysanthemums, she wants to sing that song: Look at the blossoms, the chrysanthemums are bursting all over the mountain.

Mrs. Xie said with a gentle smile: "The chrysanthemum has an elegant temperament and is one of the four gentlemen among flowers. Prime Minister Pei is noble and pure, which is exactly suitable for this flower!"

Faced with Mrs. Xie's categorical remarks, Simiaomiao believed her.

But it really surprised her that Pei Qing Chamber of Commerce likes flowers.

Maybe the high-ranking prime minister just has some little-known hobbies!

It happened that the maid came in with the dishes, and Xue Mingzhu followed behind, Xie Anlan twisted her arm tightly: "If I didn't watch closely, Mingzhu ate our dinner alone!"

Xue Mingzhu struggled to argue: "I obviously only ate one plate of elbow, one plate of Dongpo pork, two plates of small green vegetables, one steamed bun and three pickles, why do you slander me!"

Simiaomiao raised his eyes: "With the glutinous rice that you haven't had time to wipe off from your mouth."

Xie Anlan was shocked: "You even ate glutinous rice balls, Xue Mingzhu, you are not allowed to eat tonight!"

Xue Mingzhu broke free from Xie Anlan's shackles, ran to Mrs. Xie's side and rubbed her chubby body against the old lady: "Grandma Xie can't bear me not to eat, right!?"

Mrs. Xie couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, she just beckoned them to sit down quickly.

The September moon is bright in the courtyard, and a piece of bright moon frost is spread, lining the house, and the lights are amiable.

At the same time, the lights in the prime minister's mansion were bleak, with only fireflies flying around, making it extremely quiet.

Pei Qingshang came out with a case file, the lights in the corridor were blown gently by the evening wind, and a few lovely stars in the sky surrounded the moon.

At this time, there was rustling in the empty courtyard.

Pei Qing practiced martial arts and had a clear perception of all sounds. He stopped and looked towards the source of the sound.

Not long after, a fat orange cat with a wide body and a fat body jumped out of the grass.

The cat's fur looked golden under the moonlight. It straightened its front paws, raised its buttocks, and stretched itself long.

Pei Qingshang looked at this "unexpected guest" and raised his eyebrows slightly.

When the orange cat saw Pei Qingshang standing on the porch, it walked towards him wagging its fluffy tail, rubbed against his legs obediently, and let out a "meow" from time to time.A pair of dark green eyes looked at him, as if to please.

Pei Qingshang's ice-cold snow expression didn't change a bit because of such a cute little animal, but his thin lips moved slightly, and said, "There's nothing to eat."

After he finished speaking, the orange cat seemed to understand people's words, and immediately stopped wagging its tail and begging for food, and even its eyes became cold.It stretched its legs and licked a few mouthfuls, then turned around and jumped onto the wall to leave.

Watching the orange cat leave, Pei Qingshang suddenly remembered Si Miaomiao's expression today.

Also like a cat, it deliberately hides its sharp claws and fangs, approaching him obediently and full of temptation.

Thinking of something, Pei Qingshang chuckled, his abyss-like eyes were turbulent, like a river on a hidden reef glowing with black light.

Simiao Miao, who was having dinner at Xie Mansion, suddenly saw a reminder floating in the air.

[Disgust value -5, country subjugation progress -1%]

ha? !What's happening here.

 Simiao Miao: What did I do?
  Pei Qingshang: Want to be friends?
