Chapter 82

Sure enough!

Simiaomiao raised his eyebrows and suppressed the excitement that appeared on his face: "In this case, when I go to your house later, you can bring the box to me."

Pei Qingshang agreed, but asked: "How did His Highness know about the box? It was only used to hold jade seals, and there is no other precious thing."

Simiaomiao didn't dare to meet his eyes, and turned to look elsewhere: "I also heard from hearsay, what if there are clues about the jade seal in the box?"

Pei Qingshang looked at her indifferently: "Then His Highness is going to the minister's mansion just for the box?"

"Of course not!" Simiao Miao turned her head and looked at him. She spoke righteously: "I just think that the prime minister's house is quiet and the Bi Luo Courtyard is comfortable to live in. Besides, Jinxiu is cute and well-behaved. In addition, she is not feeling well right now. Your house is my best choice."

Worried that Pei Qingshang's further questioning would make her miss the mark, she hurriedly urged: "Let's go, the night wind is so cold!"

Pei Qingshang didn't ask any more questions, but just took the reins and walked ahead.

Simiao Miao looked at his tall and straight back, giggling silently on his face.

Later, she went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to steal some of Prime Minister Pei's personal belongings, which would be better?
Hua Lian also didn't tell her what constitutes close fitting.If only the inner garments worn every day counted, would she still steal Pei Qingshang's clothes?
Thinking of this scene, Simiaomiao's smile froze on his face.

If Pei Qingshang found out about stealing his clothes, what kind of pervert would he take her for?
The moonlight is like silver, shining white and bright.

The open gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion was even more majestic under the brilliance of lights. Pei Qingshang and Simiaomiao got off the carriage, but Butler Wu had already led a group of servants out of the door to greet them.

"Welcome, welcome! Warmly welcome!" Steward Wu and the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion gave warm applause.

If it wasn't because it was too late, Butler Wu even wanted to set off firecrackers and beat the gongs and drums.

Simiao Miao almost thought that he was a veteran cadre who came to the countryside to inspect the work.

Butler Wu beamed with joy: "Just now I received a letter from your lord, saying that His Highness is going to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion tonight, and this old slave has asked Jinxiu to clean up the Biluo Courtyard."

Si Miaomiao covered his injured lips with his sleeve, forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Steward Wu."

Butler Wu looked at Simiaomiao with a smile on his face: "Is Your Highness hungry? Would you like me to ask the kitchen to cook something?"

Pei Qingshang stood in front of Simiaomiao, blocking everyone's scrutiny. He said indifferently, "It's late at night and the dew is heavy. Your Highness is also tired and needs to rest. Except for Jinxiu, you don't have to bother me tonight."

Butler Wu made it clear: "Okay, this old slave understands!"

The adults of their family must be alone with His Highness.

Simiaomiao followed Pei Qingshang into the mansion, and Steward Wu led the servants standing behind them with a smile on their faces, looking expectant.

She was very confused, and asked Pei Qingshang in a low voice: "Why does Butler Wu always make me feel that his eyes are a bit like a mother-in-law looking at her daughter-in-law?"

Pei Qingshang pursed his thin lips, as if he was about to laugh, but in an instant his indifferent expression remained: "Butler Wu treats people warmly, he is an old man who follows the minister, he has always been like this."

Simiao Miao nodded as if he understood.

This has always been the case, so is it also the case with Pei Qingshang's junior sister Leng Xiangyuan?
She was fascinated, just as she was about to walk in the direction of Biluoyuan, Pei Qingshang grabbed her wrist and was pulled by him to go in another direction.

Simiaomiao was surprised: "Huh?"

"Didn't Your Highness want to see the box containing the jade seal? Let's go to the study with the minister first."

Butler Wu and the others watched the prime minister leave with the eldest princess' hand, and he was deeply moved: "Our lord is also enlightened, and knows to take the initiative!"

This was the first time Simiaomiao entered Pei Qingshang's study.

The study room is very large, with two doors wide open. After entering, there is a landscape courtyard in the house with a hollowed-out roof, facing an open space in the house. There is a rockery with flowing water and a rectangular white porcelain jar in the middle, in which several black carp are kept.

The color of the whole house is heavy wood, which looks solemn and simple.

Walking along the front room, there is a huge Pengcheng Wanli screen, and behind it is Pei Qingshang's office.

There is a picture on the wall: Haiyan Heqing.

There are bookshelves on three sides of the house, filled with various book scrolls and bamboo slips.

Simiao Miao walked all the way, amazed.

Pei Qingshang is worthy of being the most powerful minister of Da Xun, even the decoration of his study is so capable.

Seeing that Simiaomiao was curious about everything, Pei Qing said: "Your Highness is here to take a look around, and I'm going to change my robes."

After he went out, Simiaomiao walked to the bookshelf and looked up at the shelf that was higher than her.

Can he finish reading all these books?
Simiao Miao turned around and walked to the desk. Seeing that the desk was clean, there should be servants coming to clean it up every day.

She casually picked up the books on the table and looked at them, and then a memorial fell out from among the stacked volumes.

Simiao Miao paused, bent down to pick it up and opened it for inspection.

The memorial was written by the Minister of Rites, and the content was that he felt that Prime Minister Pei was old enough to ask His Majesty to marry him and start a family.

Simiaomiao never thought that the Minister of Rites would care about such a thing?He was worried about whether Pei Qingshang got married or not.But what she didn't expect was that Pei Qingshang would simply suppress this booklet!It is not reported to the emperor at all.

Does that mean he doesn't want to have a family?
Simiaomiao felt that, as Pei Qingshang was an important minister in the court, his marriage must be a big deal.

So she decided to worry about Pei Qingshang's marriage herself!
Simiaomiao tucked this memorial from the Minister of Rites into his sleeve. Recently, Pei Qingshang has been very obedient to her and helped her a lot. She must take care of this matter for him.

She turned to check on the third bookshelf. It didn't matter, but she found that there was a boxy iron box on the top of the shelf.

Could this be the box where the jade seal was placed?
Si Miaomiao stood on tiptoe and reached out to reach it, but because she was not tall enough, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't touch the box.

She put her left hand on the shelf, and stretched her right arm to reach for the box.

But at this moment, the bookshelf was pressed down by her and suddenly shook slightly. The box she was about to hold remained motionless, but all the books beside her were about to fall and hit her on the head.

Simiaomiao quickly let go of his hand, but it was too late.

At the critical moment, a hand with strong knuckles stretched out from behind her diagonally, and firmly caught some of the fallen books. Another ancient book, which was slightly heavier, hit his arm directly and fell.

Simiaomiao hurriedly turned her head, and Pei Qingshang was standing behind her at some point, almost touching her back.

He pushed the book back to its original position, and his tone was still indifferent: "Is your Highness alright?"

Pei Qingshang had already changed into a spacious robe, which was azure in color, making him look like a cold sword full of ancient flavor.

Simiaomiao saw that the book hit his arm just now, she hurriedly asked: "I'm fine, how is your arm?"

 Simiaomiao: I'm going to find a wife for Pei Qingshang, what do you guys think she will look like?

  Author: Readers vote, if you vote more, I will directly make Simiao Miao Pei Qingshang's wife!

  Thanks to my Wuli, Chaoyan, and Caihongpi for their series of rewards!mwah!
