and son

The queen ignored Meng Chuji, and turned to talk to the concubines. The concubines praised the queen for her generosity and generosity. She was really kind to her daughter-in-law. She wished she could have a niece or niece to marry Pei Jing and enjoy such treatment.

After some comparison, Meng Chuji's refusal seemed very ungrateful.

Meng Chuji sat and listened with no emotion on his face, but he was as anxious as an ant in a hot pot in his heart.

This is really shooting yourself in the foot.

If he had known that he would rather lie, he would not flatter.

It's all right now, slapped on the horse's hoof, and completely killed himself.

Nanny Gui came back not long after she left, followed by a group of maids, carrying the water basin, carrying the dowry, carrying the dowry, and carrying the gouache... There were more than a dozen of them filed in, lined up Stand respectfully.

The empress stopped talking to the empress concubine, and ordered: "Mom Gui, put a phoenix flower makeup on the crown concubine."

Meng Chuji's expression was about to crack from under the thick makeup, and he bit the bullet and struggled: "Mother, there is really no need, it takes time and effort to put on makeup, so don't make you tired."

"You have made many excuses, but do you think these things have been used by me?"

The queen glared at him coldly.

Nanny Gui also said: "Princess Concubine, this old slave has exquisite craftsmanship, and I won't let you sit for a long time."

Meng Chuji was already unable to get off the tiger.

If he refused again, he would definitely annoy the queen completely.

If he doesn't refuse, the man's body will show up.

The former or the latter?

Meng Chuji's heart was broken, and he got up and was about to say something. Suddenly, a voice came between them.

"Auntie, I'm here to talk with you."

All eyes gathered towards the gate of the palace, and saw a graceful figure stepping in against the light, with a slender figure and a bunch of bunches, the visitor was wearing a peach-colored jacket and skirt, with a snow-colored scarf around his long neck, black hair like a waterfall, and a hairpin. Walking and shaking the agate, the room is full of brilliance, and the white plum embroidered shoes are covered with some snow, which shakes off lightly while walking.

That face was a very beautiful face, with almond eyes that were as bright as autumn water, pink cheeks that were naturally rosy, and lips that were like cherry blossoms, not smudged but vermilion, and as soon as they stood in the center, they caught everyone's attention.

Whoa, another beauty.

Even more beautiful than the fourth princess I saw in the morning.

The queen's unhappiness was a little bit happier because of her arrival, and even her tone of voice became a little gentle: "Ting'er, come."

"Auntie!" The woman stepped forward dignifiedly. Nanny Gui took a futon mat on the ground. She knelt and sat beside the queen's feet. Then she turned her eyes to look into the hall, and her eyes fell on Meng Chuji. Meng Chuji looked at her, She withdrew her gaze and asked softly, "Is this the concubine my cousin married?"

It's okay if you don't mention it, but when you mention it, you get angry, and the queen's face turned cold again, and said: "That's right, what do you think?"

The words seem to be evaluating a product.

Meng Chuji was not angry, but rejoiced again that it was a good thing that his sister was not married, otherwise his sister would have really suffered.

The mother-in-law has a bad temper, the sister-in-law is unreasonable and unreasonable, and now a cousin has appeared, what kind of role is she?

Meng Chuji looked at the cousin, but saw her nod slightly, and said very appreciatively: "Cousin's vision is of course very good, and Ting'er will have a cousin in the future."

Meng Chuji raised his eyebrows, it seemed that the women in the court were not all difficult.

With that in mind, he said, "Hello, cousin."

The woman smiled sweetly: "Hello cousin, I'm Qinghe, I grew up with my cousin, and my real name has the word Ting, so my cousin and aunt both call me Tinger, and my cousin can also call me Tinger."

Meng Chuji's affection for her rose several degrees in the blink of an eye.

Such a gentle and lovely girl is really rare.

Seeing that they had a happy conversation, the queen frowned displeasedly, glanced at the line of maids, making the whole hall a bit crowded, waved her hand and said, "Go down!"

The maids carrying rouge and gouache retreated orderly.

The woman was slightly puzzled: "Aunt, just now you were going to..."

The queen said calmly: "It's nothing, since you're here, have a good talk with Auntie, otherwise I'm going to lose my interest today."

Meng Chuji bowed his head silently, pretending that he didn't exist.

The woman responded obediently: "Good aunt."

Hence, no one spoke to Meng Chuji again.

Being deliberately forgotten, Meng Chuji is like an invisible person, sitting there is not as good as a wooden stake.

Meng Chuji wished that they would ignore him and be safe alone. After half an hour, Pei Jing finally came back.

Pei Jing looked at Meng Chuji, and was relieved when he saw that he was fine. He stepped up to Meng Chuji's side, took his hand and helped him up from the chair: "Mother, it's getting late, I'll take Jing Jing back first. I'll come back tomorrow to say hello to you."

The empress glanced at Meng Chuji coldly, and said, "No need, the morning and evening of the princess will be spared. Come here when you are free, and don't run to me if you are not free."

Pei Jing was famous for her filial piety, and she would come to Chaoyang Palace every day to pay her respects. The empress said this was nothing more than arranging for Meng Chuji.

Meng Chuji didn't know the twists and turns, but he was also extremely happy. The queen didn't want to see him, and he didn't want to see the queen yet.

Naturally, it is impossible to show joy at the moment. Meng Chuji opened his eyes wide and pretended to be wronged. The queen didn't even bother to look at him, and said, "Go back!"

Pei Jing led Meng Chuji out of Chaoyang Palace.

As soon as she went out, Pei Jing asked softly: "What did you do to make the queen mother so angry?"

Meng Chuji's heart skipped a beat, and he blinked innocently: "I didn't do anything."

Can you admit it, of course you can't admit it, the queen is Pei Jing's biological mother.

Pei Jing was noncommittal and walked slowly with him.

When he was about to turn to the Ligong alley, someone chased after him, and he yelled crisply and softly: "Cousin!"

Pei Jing stood back and looked back, and Meng Chuji followed suit. When he saw the visitor, he jokingly said, "Kiss cousin Xiao Ting'er?"

Pei Jingjian frowned, but her tone was a bit indifferent: "Her name is Shangguan Ting, she is the daughter of King Zhennan, and she followed King Zhennan to enshrine land in Qinghe in the early years. She only came to Beijing in the past two years, so she is not considered close."

"Really, did she say she grew up with you?"

Meng Chuji's tone was exaggerated, gloating even more. Since ancient times, cousins ​​and cousins ​​are mostly romantic debts, he understands.

Pei Jing thought that it was fine if he wasn't jealous, but she was still a little happy to see the result, her thin lips pursed into a straight line with a sullen face.

During the exchange between the two, Shangguan Ting had already arrived in front of them.

She chased in a hurry, panting slightly, the scent of orchids was overwhelming, and slowed down, then she held the reserved and polite manner of a lady, turned her gaze away from Pei Jing, and fell on Meng Chuji: "Biao sister-in-law, you things fell."

She held out a handkerchief embroidered with orchids with both hands.

Meng Chuji took the handkerchief over, looked left and right, but couldn't quite tell, did Ah Fu stuff the handkerchief into his sleeve when he was helping him put on his clothes?

Meng Chuji forgot, it's not a big deal anyway, so he said, "Thank you cousin."

Shangguan Ting secretly glanced at Pei Jing, her eyes rolled, she was bright and shy, and she said again: "Cousin, can Ting'er play with you tomorrow?"

Meng Chuji said without thinking, "Yes."

After the words fell, Pei Jing said coldly: "No."

Meng Chuji stared: "Why?"

Pei Jing's face was indifferent: "We are newlyweds. I have five days of wedding leave. I will stay with you at home. You are married from afar, so you should also learn about the customs of Dasui, so I have no time to pay attention to outsiders."

As soon as the word "outsider" came out, Shangguan Ting's eye circles turned red, and she bit her lower lip in embarrassment, looking ashamed.

Meng Chuji only felt that Pei Jing was going too far, no matter how much he didn't like him, he shouldn't hurt him so bluntly, for a majestic prince, even if he couldn't get along with a woman, he wouldn't talk well.

Meng Chuji was used to loving the fragrance and cherishing the jade. Seeing Shangguan Ting wanting to cry or not, her heart ached, and she hurriedly coaxed: "Don't worry about it like him. If you want to play with me, just do it. My cousin will definitely not refuse." Please don't cry, okay?"

Only then did Shangguan Ting smile brightly, wipe the corners of her dry eyes, her smile was as bright as spring in March: "Thank you cousin."

After a pause, she looked at Pei Jing again, wanting to say something, but Pei Jing grabbed Meng Chuji's hand and said coldly, "Let's go!"

Meng Chuji was caught off guard by Pei Jing's tug, struggling but was no match for his strength, no matter how hard he struggled, he was immediately dissatisfied: "Hey, why are you like this?"

Pei Jing didn't say a word, but quickened her pace. Meng Chuji had no choice but to stagger back and wave at Shangguan Ting's free hand.

"Ting'er, see you another day."

After the words fell, the strength of his wrist became stronger, Meng Chuji yelled "Aww", and sternly reprimanded: "Can you be gentle, do you want to pinch me to death?"

Meng Chuji didn't see it, but Shangguanting, who was watching them leave with Li Zai on the spot, tightened the handkerchief in her hand, her smile dissipated, and her pretty face was distorted.

After leaving the palace gate and boarding the carriage, Pei Jing let go of Meng Chuji's hand.

There was a circle of red marks on that white wrist. Meng Chuji thought that his skin was rough and fleshy, and it wasn't that a little girl's skin would turn red every time she touched it. It can be seen how hard Pei Jing pinched him.

Meng Chuji directly scolded angrily: "Marrying you is really bad luck for [-] lifetimes, a guy who doesn't know how to pity fragrance and cherish jade!"

Pei Jing stared at his wrist, it was white and tender, the skin was as delicate as jade, the circle of red marks printed on it was very abrupt, but it was not ugly, it had a kind of beauty after being abused, it made people wish to see it again Yin said something like this, his Adam's apple rolled, and his voice quietly became hoarse: "Sorry."

Meng Chuji was tolerant, Pei Jing apologized and his anger subsided, he glanced at Pei Jing, his face eased a lot, but he still couldn't help mocking: "You made me like this, why do you speak more aggrieved than me? "

Pei Jing lowered her eyelashes: "Qinghe has bad intentions, you should take precautions. If you are afraid of loneliness, I will wait for you to meet more noble women in the capital these few days. It's just the communication."

Meng Chuji finally sensed that there was some conflict between the two of them, no wonder Pei Jing was so merciless towards Shangguan Ting.

As gentle as Pei Jing, there are people who can annoy him so much. Meng Chuji raised his eyebrows and asked enthusiastically: "What did Shangguan Ting do to make you avoid it so much?"

Pei Jing raised her eyes and looked at him, "She used to seduce me by undressing in private, so she made a fuss in front of my mother, and used her strength to pressure me to marry her. She is a person with ulterior motives in such a way, and should be respected from afar."

"Hey, I thought it was a big deal, isn't it a little thing?"

This kind of thing is very common in the general's mansion, from seducing his father to seducing him, there will be troubles every now and then, but fortunately he treats him like a tiger.

Meng Chuji didn't know how to laugh at him.

Pei Jingru was hit with a stick, doesn't it mean that he doesn't like him so much, so this kind of thing doesn't matter to him?

Unbearable, Pei Jing solemnly said: "You are my wife."

"so what?"

"You should love me."
