Tragic death and rebirth, married to the abstinent uncle and was spoiled crazy
Chapter 229 Farmers
The early morning sun shines through the trees in the village and falls on the ground, bringing warmth to your face.
In the small village, some bluestone gates block the courtyards, and the walls are covered with green vines.
In the yard, there is an old lady grinding beans. She is over 50 years old, but still full of energy.
She often sat next to the bean grinder, shaking the grinding wheel with one hand and fiddling with the grinding shaft with the other, occasionally humming a little tune. Although there was no hustle and bustle of the capital city, this place couldn't help but feel more peaceful.
Pei Yanli was lying on the wooden bed. His face was pale and beads of sweat could be seen on his forehead.
There was pain in his brow, his lips were slightly parted, and he seemed to be struggling to breathe.
The body is filled with the smell of herbs and a light smell of smoke, which are herbs burned to repel mosquitoes and drive away evil spirits.
There was no light in the cabin, only the faint moonlight filtering in through the crack in the door, making it look eerie and a little strange.
The sunlight quietly penetrated into the room, gradually illuminating Pei Yanli's body. He slowly turned over in bed, trying to find a comfortable position, but every movement brought great pain.
Outside the window, the lady who grinds beans is humming a song. It is a beautiful morning.
Pei Yanli woke up slowly at this moment, and with a wave of his hand, he accidentally knocked over a bowl of water beside him.
The lady who was grinding beans heard the noise and quickly opened the door and walked in. Seeing Pei Yanli trying to get up, she quickly stepped forward and held him back, "Your body is not fully recovered yet, why are you getting up?"
Pei Yanli was a little confused, but he soon realized that he was rescued.
"Thank you very much for the rescue." He said slowly, his face full of gratitude.
The old lady was stunned for a moment. "It's nothing. It's just a piece of cake."
As she said that, she turned around and got another porcelain bowl for Pei Yanli, poured a glass of water into it, and then began to chatter, "My old man found you in the river when he went to the back mountain to chop firewood."
"We don't know where you came from. Your body is covered with wounds and you've been soaked for who knows how many days. Fortunately, you are blessed with a long life. We all thought you would not survive."
Pei Yanli took the porcelain bowl, drank a few sips of water, and said after quenching his thirst, "Thank you, Auntie. I will definitely reward you handsomely when I return home."
The old lady waved her hand and said slowly, "No need. As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. We just want peace of mind. You should take good care of your injuries. I still have some work to do."
After saying that, the old lady nodded at Pei Yanli and went out.
Pei Yanli covered his chest and looked around the room. It was just an ordinary small rural room. There were no expensive things in the room, but it was decorated warmly.
Pei Yanli thought of what his aunt had just said, and his heart couldn't help but warm.
It has been many years since anyone in the imperial city showed such a pure look of worry.
Once upon a time, he thought that the Queen was the best person to him. But when he was deposed from the position of Crown Prince, he realized that without the throne he was nothing.
The queen sent people to lock him up in a dungeon deep in the sky without seeing the light of day, regardless of his life or death. It turned out that all the good things before were just superficial, for the sake of the position of crown prince, and nothing else.
Pei Yanli couldn't express his feelings for a moment. He felt extremely cold and didn't know what was going on.
At the same time, in the palace.
The Queen looked at Pei Yanli's portrait with great worry. For the first time, she wondered if she had done something wrong.
If she had known that Pei Yanli would disappear, she would definitely not have imprisoned Pei Yanli in the dungeon.
After all, he just likes a girl, so what if she tries to help him get her?
Now her only son has disappeared. If he never comes back, the position of crown prince will be handed over to someone else.
Do not!
She would never allow this to happen.
The queen calmed down, but His Majesty forbade her to interfere in the matter and even sealed the Pepper Palace. Now she was like a bird in a cage, unable to get out and no one else could get in.
No, she absolutely couldn't just sit there and wait to die!
……
Zhenbei Palace.
Lin Tingwan is cooking for Pei Jinan.
Her movements were skillful and graceful, and the wooden chopsticks in her hand gently tapped the ingredients on the bamboo skewers, making crisp sounds.
She was wearing a dignified Confucian dress, with her hair tied up high and tassels hanging gently on her forehead.
Her eyes are gentle and focused, and every time she cuts vegetables and every step of the process is full of love and care.
The rich smell of spices and ingredients filled the kitchen and wafted throughout the mansion.
My wife was busy at the stove, the firelight reflected on her face, making her delicate features vaguely visible.
Pei Jinan stood outside the window and looked at the busy Lin Tingwan. He felt a warm feeling in his heart, a feeling of home.
This is something only Lin Tingwan can give him, and no one else can give it to him.
……
The sun was shining in the yard. Pei Yanli was lying on a bamboo chair with scars all over his body.
He looked very tired, as if he hadn't rested for a long time.
Wang Pingxiu walked into the yard with vegetables and herbs and asked worriedly, "Do you need any help?"
Pei Yanli shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's okay, Miss Wang, don't worry, just do your thing."
Wang Pingxiu wanted to apply herbal medicine to Pei Yanli, but he avoided her and said, "Miss Wang, you must not do this. Men and women should not touch each other. How can you do this?"
Wang Pingxiu suppressed a laugh and said, "We don't have so many rules here. Now that my mother is not here, who else can apply medicine for you except me? Besides, my mother is also a woman, so what's the difference?"
Pei Yanli was speechless for a moment. No matter what, he couldn't say the words "your mother is old and nothing will happen" as if he was blocked.
Wang Pingxiu slowly said, "It's nothing, just let me help you."
Wang Pingxiu started to take action right away after saying that. It was unknown whether it was because he was not feeling well or because Wang Pingxiu was too energetic, but Pei Yanli was unable to break free for a while.
After Wang Pingxiu treated his wounds, he prepared some tea for him.
Pei Yanli felt Wang Pingxiu's sincere concern and gradually relaxed. Time passed slowly, the sunlight gradually dimmed, and Wang Xiuping also left the yard.
Pei Yanli was left lying alone, enjoying a moment of peace. However, in his heart, he was always worried about what was happening in Shangjing City.
No, it should be said that I was worried about Lin Tingwan.
There was no one or anything that Pei Yanli was worried about in Shangjing City or even in the entire imperial palace.
Now everything has nothing to do with him.
He no longer wants the position he had worked so hard to reach in his previous life in this life.
Pei Yanli feels very good staying in this small village now.
It's better than being in that treacherous palace.
