White Moonlight of Powerful Officials at large

Chapter 103
When Wen Ning heard about this, it was already seven days later.

Back from Wanggui Mountain that day, I don’t know what Pei You said to the eldest princess. When she was about to rest, Linglan came over in a hurry, saying that the eldest princess lost her temper in Fuquyuan, and the eldest son was punished to go to the ancestral hall. Kneeling ancestors thought about it.

This is a rare thing.

The eldest princess has always been too late to pet Pei You, and she has never heard of her punishing him in her previous life.

"Didn't ask why he was punished?" At that time, Wen Ning was undoing her hair in front of the mirror. Although she didn't care much about his affairs, she was still a little curious.

Linglan shook her head worriedly: "This country's government is still different from our ordinary people. The errands are very cautious, and they can say a word without saying a word. I have not been here for a long time, and I am still from Qinghui Hall. They Don’t dare to say anything more to me.”

Seeing her expression, Wen Ning wanted to laugh.

This little girl really thinks of Pei You as her aunt, yet she is still worried about him.

What is he doing that is not in his plan?There's no need for these little people to worry about him.

Wen Ning didn't take this matter to heart, but she noticed that Pei You didn't come back all night, presumably the eldest princess was really angry and punished him to kneel all night.

On the second day, Gu Fei came over to send a message: "My Majesty, I ask Madam to feel wronged and wronged for the past two days. Stay in Qinghui Hall and don't go out. After these two days, it will be fine."

Wen Ning thought about it again, and really couldn't think of what Pei You could do to anger the eldest princess. Yesterday, she specially told her not to step out of the Qinghui Hall no matter what happened at night. She should avoid it after this matter is over.

But he wanted her to stay in Qinghui Hall, and she didn't want to cause trouble, so she just stayed at home honestly.

On the third day, Linglan heard the news from outside the courtyard again, saying that the eldest princess had gone to the Buddhist hall to retreat.

"I heard that the Eldest Princess hasn't gone to the Buddhist hall to retreat for a long time since the son came back. In previous years, once she went in, she usually didn't go out for a month or two."

The eldest princess has gone to retreat, does she not have to deliberately avoid her?

But Wen Ning remained honest for a few more days.

In the past few days, she and Pei You have silently maintained a tacit understanding and abided by the previously agreed agreement.

Every day when he returned to Qinghui Hall, he would go to the study and never set foot in the main hall; she would stay peacefully in the main hall, sometimes asking Linglan to bring some soup to Pei Guogong and a few plates of desserts to the eldest princess, strictly adhering to the "Mrs. duty.

Therefore, Wen Ning actually didn't know what happened outside.

It's just that on the seventh day, Wen Ning really felt that the days were so leisurely and boring.

Sooner or later, there was no Wen Lan and Wen Qi making jokes with her, nor Wen Tingchun greeting her, let alone going to chat with her sister-in-law during the day, even Chun Xing who chattered was gone.

Although Pei You's family background has been seen by her, she doesn't need her to be in charge of the central government, and she doesn't need to intervene in other affairs in the Duke's mansion.

"Girl, you are also idle, why don't you embroider a sachet for the prince?"

Seeing that Pei You hadn't come to see her for a few days, Linglan was afraid that she would "fall out of favor", and either asked her to embroider a sachet for Pei You or embroider a handkerchief for Pei You.

She doesn't want to embroider.

A woman embroiders personal items for her newlywed husband, which is a token of love for a lover.

She embroiders for Pei You, what is that?
"Why don't we...go out for a stroll?" Wen Ning rolled her eyes and looked at Linglan.

Pei You said that she can freely enter and leave the Duke's mansion, and it's been half a month since she got married, so why not give it a try?
But for the first time when she went out, Wen Ning didn't use men's clothes secretly, but wanted to see if she would be hindered if she went out directly as the wife of the prince.

In the end, no one stopped her.

Hearing that she wanted to go out to add some jewelry, the housekeeper respectfully arranged the carriage, accompanied by several maids and guards.

Thinking that there was no other purpose for this trip, just to go out for a stroll, Wen Ning let them go.

Wen Ning thought about it in the carriage.

First put on a show, go to the jewelry store and clothes store that noble ladies like to go to, and then take Linglan to the teahouse to drink tea and watch a play.

Just arrived at the first stop, Zhufangge, the most prestigious jewelry store in the capital, and met a person Wen Ning was extremely displeased with.

Zhao Xizhi, who has regarded her as a thorn in her side for two lifetimes.

Really...

unlucky.

Wen Ning took Linglan with her, turned around and wanted to leave.

But after thinking about it, why?

After boarding Pei You's thief ship, there will be many times when we meet Zhao Xizhi in the future, do we avoid her every time?

Wen Ning turned her body back, raised her chin lightly, and calmly went to pick out jewelry.

From the moment Wen Ning stepped into Zhufang Pavilion, Zhao Xizhi's eyes seemed to grow on her body.

On the day Pei You and Wen Ning got married, she almost set fire to the boudoir, and Zhao Zhai let her out.Fearing that she would be imprisoned again, she knelt down and confessed her mistake to Zhao Zhai, and promised that she would never trouble Pei You and Wen Ning again, so she regained her freedom.

But when she saw Wen Ning, her eyes were on fire.

Look, the daughter of the fourth-rank civil servant she looked down upon in the past is now wearing clothes and hair that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess went to various shops in person, and some of them were even tailor-made for her directly in the palace.

From the moment she entered the door, she raised her chin arrogantly, without even looking at her, as if she really flew up the branch and turned into a phoenix.

When Zhao Xizhi knelt down and confessed to Zhao Zhai, she was sincere. The eldest son Pei was married, so she couldn't be someone else's concubine; but now seeing Wen Ning's complacent appearance, the unwillingness and jealousy in her heart are also true. of.

Pei Shizi's mind was temporarily dazzled by her foxy face, and it's unclear how much sincerity she has.

Maybe in two years we will divorce!

Zhao Xizhi snorted softly, shook her waist and thought about it, but was pulled by Xiaotao beside her.

"Girl..." Xiao Tao called out timidly, intending to remind her that she had promised the master not to cause trouble.

Zhao Xizhi glared at her fiercely, and shrank her hand back.

"Miss Zhao, long time no see." Wen Ning was watching her movements from the corner of her eye. When she saw someone approaching, she raised her eyebrows and preemptively said, "The last time your housekeeper said that after Miss Zhao's confinement is over, she will personally Come to the door and apologize to me, it seems that Miss Zhao has regained her freedom?"

It's okay not to mention this episode, but Zhao Xizhi will explode again if it is mentioned.

Her father knew from nowhere that she had tampered with Wen Ning's carriage, and he wanted her to apologize to Wen Ning like a convulsion, but of course she refused.

In the end, I cried and wrote her a "letter of apology", and this matter was over.

"So Ms. Zhao came to Zhufang Pavilion, is she planning to personally pick out some jewelry to apologize to me? I don't lack jewelry now, so Ms. Zhao doesn't need to be so polite." Wen Ning smiled, her tone was extremely gentle.

Zhao Xizhi's words were stuck in her chest, who is going to apologize to her?dreaming?
She sneered: "Come to Zhufang Pavilion if you don't lack jewelry?"

Wen Ning blinked, glanced at the jewelry cabinet, and said shyly, "Let me choose some accessories for my husband."

Zhao Xizhi: "..."

Wen Ning took a breath, covered her mouth apologetically, and said, "Miss Zhao is still a girl who hasn't left the court, so I shouldn't tell you about these interesting things between husband and wife."

Seeing her appearance, Zhao Xizhi was almost heartbroken.

When dealing with her in the past, she was obviously a cautious and shy Xiaojiabiyu.Just like at the beginning of the year in Ci'en Temple, she deliberately occupied the courtyard and made a lot of noise to disturb her, so she could only swallow her anger and hide in the room.

Now he is actually picking on her painfully in a teasing way?
Wen Ning saw that her face was white and red, and it was going to turn green in a while, and she felt extremely happy.

Didn't she learn these tricks from her?

In her previous life, she was most afraid of meeting Zhao Xizhi.

Pei You got close to the Zhao family, and she always thought that Pei You would marry Zhao Xizhi sooner or later.She is a genuine wife, but she is a woman who takes over her husband, not even a concubine.

Every time Zhao Xizhi sees her, she must be sneering and sarcastic, staring at her "widow" status, saying how hurtful she is.

At that time, she was thin-skinned, and when she really cared about the new widow, she was forcibly taken over by Pei You, and she was raised outside by him without a name.

It was only later that I realized that Pei You and her had never had a beginning or end. Where did she get the confidence?

Wen Ning lowered her head in front of the counter, looking at men's accessories seriously.

Originally, she didn't want to have anything to do with Pei You in this life, so she naturally didn't want to deal with Zhao Xizhi either, she didn't want to talk to her no matter what.

But since it cannot be avoided...

She really wanted to pick something for Pei You in front of her, and then think of a way to persuade Pei You to wear it when she got back, so Zhao Xizhi would get angry every time she saw it in the future.

Hmph, she can't be mad at her!

Linglan was worrying that her girl was not enlightened, and Prince Pei gave her a wooden hairpin made by himself, but she was not prepared to return the gift at all, and asked to embroider a sachet without hesitation.

Seeing her seriously looking at the men's accessories on the counter, she immediately fell in love with her.

"Girl, this piece of jade is not bad! It is gentle and fair, and it matches my uncle very well!"

Wen Ning glanced at it.

No, it's expensive at first glance.

Why buy such expensive things for Pei You?Just angry with Zhao Xizhi.

"What about this jade crown? My uncle's hair crowns are gold and silver. It seems that he has never seen him wear a jade crown. It must be very jade-like when he wears it." Linglan also saw Zhao Xizhi's imposing manner, and spoke With a little deliberate element.

Wen Ning took another look.

Her good Linglan, why should she be taken advantage of?

This jade crown is so big, the price is at least three to five times that of the piece of jade just now.

Wen Ning stopped following her hand, walked around by herself, and saw a small jade finger ring in the corner of the counter at a glance.

The color is not so good, it is a bit chilly white, compared with jade badges and jade crowns, it is small and not expensive.

Moreover, if it is worn on the thumb, it will be very eye-catching, and it is safe to ask Zhao Xizhi to see it and respond once.

"Shopkeeper, let's take a look at this." Wen Ning pointed at the wrench.

Zhao Xizhi was poked sour by Linglan's "young master" one bite at a time. Seeing Wen Ning pick such an inconspicuous finger puller, she was about to sneer. No money!

What kind of stuff is that?Are you worthy of being the son of the world? !

But the shopkeeper took the first step, took out his finger, and said flatteringly: "Madam, you can choose, the prince has already arranged for someone to take care of it, and all the consumption of the lady in the small shop is on the account of the prince." superior."

crackling—

A hairpin that Zhao Xizhi was holding just now fell on the counter.

When Wen Ning heard what the shopkeeper said, her eyes couldn't be any brighter.

On the road!

Pei You in this life is really on the right track!
She suppressed the joy in her eyes, touched her temples, pursed her lips and said softly, "Husband is really considerate."

Zhao Xizhi: "..."

"The shape of the wrench is really good, and the size is very suitable for your husband's hand, but..." Wen Ning regretfully measured the wrench a few times in her hand, and then said, "There are still ones of this size in the treasurer's warehouse." Is it? It must be of the highest quality in order to match your husband."

The shopkeeper's face showed joy: "Okay! The little one will go get it for my wife right away!"

Zhao Xizhi was on the side, her silver teeth were about to be crushed.

She clearly chose the expensive one only after hearing that she could pay the bill!
Pei Shizi is far-sighted and intelligent, what is it about her!
But Wen Ning still treats her like air.

The shopkeeper went to get the ring finger, she turned her head to look at women's jewelry, and after a while, she fell in love with a butterfly enamel hairpin, and she couldn't move her eyes.

She had taken a fancy to that hairpin last month. It was light in texture and exquisite in workmanship. If it was worn in the hair, a pair of wings would flutter gently like a real butterfly. It was really beautiful.

But it is really expensive, 3000 taels for a hairpin.

She is not even willing to buy it, does she match it with Wen Ning? !
Zhao Xizhi finally couldn't hold back anymore, she shook off Xiaotao who had been quietly pulling her, and walked forward with a smile:

"Miss Wen is still in the mood to look at jewelry here. The entire Wen family is in dire straits. You don't think you know it?"
