White Moonlight of Powerful Officials at large

Chapter 170 Mr. Yi is back
The snow in the capital is used to stretching continuously, and when it falls, the whole city is covered in silver, just like wearing a thick cotton coat.

Wen Ning is afraid of the cold, so the Qinghui Hall had set fire to the ground dragon early on. It has been snowing outside for the past few days, but the warmth inside the house is oppressive.

Seeing that there was no light outside, Pei You was about to go out, Wen Ning got up from the bed: "Wait a minute."

She went to the closet blindfolded, and took out a pair of fur gloves and a fox fur scarf from it: "Bend down."

Seeing that her eyes were not fully opened, Pei You slightly bent the corners of her lips, and leaned over obediently.

Wen Ning also stood on tiptoe to tie the scarf for him, and muttered as she tied it: "Young Master, you don't even have a scarf and gloves, so you don't know how you lived in the past winter."

After tying it up, he put on gloves again: "I didn't expect the snow to come so early this year, so I made it a little hastily. Don't dislike it."

After wearing it, he rubbed his eyes: "Go."

Added another sentence: "The road is slippery in snowy weather, let Gu Fei's carriage drive slower."

After speaking, he planned to go back to bed and continue to sleep, but was pulled back by someone.

Pei You's black eyes shone with small fragments of light, as if being engulfed in the warmth of the room, it was finally not as cold as before, catching the person in front of him was a kiss.

Gentle and tender.

Knowing that she still wants to sleep, Shaoxi let her go: "Go."

Not long after Wen Ning came out of the quilt, her face was already a little flushed, but now she looked even more pink, she blinked her watery eyes, and seeing Pei You turn around, she pulled back his arm, stood on tiptoe and stood again. He pecked his lips before running back to the bed with a smile.

I don't know when it started, this day seems to be wrapped in honey.

It was still snowing outside during the day, but after noon, Wen Ning finished her lunch, packed up and went out.

All kinds of things occupied her mind before, leaving her no time to care about others. It was only a few days ago that she suddenly realized that she hadn't seen Duan Rushuang for a few days.

According to the past, when she came back from Lingnan, Duan Rushuang would go to Wenfu to find her.But until she returned to the Duke's Mansion, Duan Rushuang never came to see her, and did not see her when she went to the pharmacy last time, but sent her a few letters to inform her about the recent operation of the winery.

She felt something was wrong, asked Linglan, and found out that when she went to Lingnan, she asked Duan Rushuang to cover for her in Xiangti Garden, and Duan Rushuang was scolded by Wen Qi for causing trouble.

"Girl, you know the temperament of the second son. He hides his sword in his smile on weekdays. He is not such an easy-going person. At that time, he was worried about you..." Linglan shook her head and sighed. I also refused to ask people from the house to send it off, so I left by myself."

It's all because she is too dull, she didn't think about this before, now that she knows it, she can't just sit idly by.

Today is not a holiday for officials, but she knew that Wen Qi had exchanged value with others this month, and he had a rest today, so she invited him and Duan Rushuang to the teahouse at the same time, intending to be a peacemaker for the two of them.

She is the most leisurely among the three, so she arrives at the teahouse first.

Recently, something happened in Beijing, and the teahouse was much more lively than Rangri.

The discussion was nothing more than the abolition of the empress by Emperor Jiahe.

In the morning five days ago, there was a lot of discussion on Chang'an Street, saying that Emperor Jiahe and the Empress had a big fight in Fengyi Palace in the middle of the night last night. After being unbearable to be a country, an imperial edict was issued to abolish the post.

This shocked the people's jaws.

Their empress is the most dignified and virtuous, a model of noble girls, how much their majesty dotes on the empress!How could such an incident suddenly happen?
Could it be that the empress has been ill in bed for the past two years, and her temperament has changed drastically?

There are also discussions that among the current princes, only the fourth prince Chu Heng can be counted on, but Chu Heng's mother family is weak, but Xie's family is powerful, and King Rui's accident has almost no impact on them.

Did Emperor Jiahe intend to suppress the Xie family by suppressing the queen, thereby paving the way for the fourth prince to take power?
"Hey, what a pity." Linglan sighed while pouring tea for Wen Ning.

Last year at the New Year's Eve banquet, Wen Ning entered the palace and got a pair of sachets from the empress, and when she came back, she caught Linglan and spoke well of the empress for a long time.

"Last time, the girl forgot the fox fur in Fengyi Palace, and the empress asked someone to bring it back. She is the most unassuming lady. Girl, why do you think your majesty will abolish the empress?"

Wen Ning also sighed silently, and closed the window of the wing room, so as to block out the discussion downstairs.

She also asked Pei You this question. At that time, Pei You was holding the scroll without raising his eyes: "I don't know."

She didn't quite know either.

It's just that Emperor Jiahe was abolished in her previous life, so she was already mentally prepared.In this life, the time after Emperor Jiahe's abolishment, like many things before, has been advanced.

"We can't spy on the affairs of the Tian family." Wen Ning warmed her hands with the teacup in her hands, and pushed Linglan, "Go and see if the second brother is here."

Wen Qi is resting today, so he is naturally free. Knowing that his sister is full of worries and secrets, he specially invited him to the teahouse this time. He only thought that she had something important to tell him, so it was better than an appointment. I arrived at the teahouse a little earlier in the morning.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Linglan coming downstairs. It seemed that she was here to look at him.

"Second Young Master, this way please." Linglan called him over as soon as she saw someone.

Wen Qi followed, and when she opened the door, she saw Wen Ning sitting cross-legged on the low couch making tea, resting her chin on the small stove in front of her.

In the cold winter day, his face was very rosy.

"The face is rounded twice again, it seems that life in the Duke's Mansion is much better than at home." Wen Qi teased as he entered the door.

Wen Ning: "..."

Forget it, I still have business to talk about, so I'm too lazy to talk to him.

"Second brother, come and sit down." Wen Ning patted the seat beside her, "The tea is just ready."

"Since you're free, why don't you make an appointment earlier?" Seeing how she looked like she had been waiting for a long time, Wen Qi said as he took off his shoes and went to the low couch.

The low couch in this tea room is spacious, with seats on all four sides, it can accommodate four people to make tea and chat together, just take off your shoes and put them on one side when you get on the couch.

Wen Ning took the teapot and poured tea for him: "Sister Rushuang still has some things to do at the winery, so she can't come so early."

When Wen Qi heard Duan Rushuang's name, his face darkened, and his voice became a little cold: "What did you call her for?"

Wen Ning looked at his expression, not knowing what emotion he was in.

If Qi Duan Rushuang pretended to be her and made her slip out of the Wen residence and go to Lingnan, it has been four or five months, are you still angry?This is too angry, more patient than Pei You!
She didn't pay any attention to this, and before Duan Rushuang arrived, she asked directly: "Second brother, do you know the granddaughter of the Guozijianji restaurant?"

Wen Qi looked puzzled: "What Miss Sun?"

ha!This is not knowing!
Wen Ning's heart was relieved, she had never even met in this life, so there was no problem of having a sweetheart.

"Then tell me quickly, what's going on between you and sister Rushuang?" Wen Ning followed closely.

Wen Qi frowned: "What can I do with her? Ah Ning, what happened to you today, did you take the wrong medicine?"

"Are you okay with sister Rushuang?" Wen Ning didn't believe it, "Then you went to Ci'en Temple with her during the Lantern Festival, and went to Wanggui Mountain to play?"

Wen Qi even felt that Wen Ning had taken the wrong medicine: "When did I go to the Temple of Mercy with her, to visit Wanggui Mountain? I changed values ​​with my colleagues on the Shangyuan Festival, and I didn't even return home in the Ministry of War."

Wen Ning gasped in surprise.

so it is……

She suddenly thought that it was she who quarreled with Pei You and ran to the pharmacy to avoid him, Duan Rushuang said this, and she had to go back to the Duke's mansion.

Could it be that Duan Rushuang's exquisite heart saw her abnormality and said that on purpose?
"Then..." Wen Ning stammered, "Then the second elder brother... you, don't you like sister Rushuang?"

How good is her sister Rushuang!

Good brains, good temper, good looks, good at earning money, considerate, have ideas and opinions, Dayin can't find a better girl than her!
Wen Qi suddenly put down the teacup in his hand heavily, with a bad expression on his face: "Ah Ning, you asked me out on a serious matter, just to chat about such boring things?"

"Why are you happy or not? Although you are married, you are a daughter's family. What do you look like when you say these words?"

"Ms. Duan is your good friend, and I only treat her as my younger sister. Don't talk nonsense to ruin your reputation!"

"Cough..." Linglan suddenly heard a dry, deliberately raised cough from outside the house.

Wen Ning's scalp went numb, and as expected, Duan Rushuang pushed the door open and entered.

It's been a long time since I saw her, she seems to have taken some weight off, she looks much taller, her whole face is as white as porcelain, and her eyes are rare and cold.

Without looking at Wen Qi, she came over and put a pack of dim sum on the tea table: "Sister Wen, I think you like Wanfangzhai's dim sum, and dim sum with tea is perfect."

"It's been a long time since I saw you. I originally wanted to drink tea and chat with my sister, but today I have a foreigner, so I won't stay here for a long time."

Then he saluted Wen Qi indifferently: "Ru Shuang also only regards the second son as an elder brother, but the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, there are many inconveniences, Ru Shuang will not bother."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left without any change in expression.

Wen Ning almost stopped breathing, Duan Rushuang was usually limp, but when she was angry, she was quite aura!

Turning to look at Wen Qi, he saw that his complexion was not good-looking, as if he was pissed off.

What are you angry about?Didn't you say it first?Just said it so loudly!

Just as he was about to tug on his sleeve to remind him not to apologize, he had already got up with clenched fists and hurriedly chased him out.

Hey, this is called only being a younger sister?

The shoes are all worn backwards, second brother!
Wen Ning was in a good mood all of a sudden, it didn't work out as a peacemaker, and it's not bad to be a troublemaker.

Isn't her second brother a good brain?The girl you offended, please coax her back!

The tea was ready and the cakes were ready, Wen Ning called out to Linglan, and the two of them slowly sipped tea and snacks in the tea room before slowly preparing to go home.

When passing by Wanfangzhai, thinking that Pei You also likes to eat, he stopped the carriage and bought two more.

After the winter, it gets darker and earlier, Pei You has already moved the study from Wutong Lane back to the Duke's Mansion, and he doesn't use the dinner there, and the time to return to the Duke's Mansion is getting earlier and earlier.

The pastry was still hot in her hand, Wen Ning looked at the sky, guessing that today when Pei You came back, she could still have a bite of the fresh pastry that was still warm.

She asked Linglan to urge the driver to hurry up, and it would be much warmer when she returned to Qinghui Hall, and the cakes would not cool down so quickly.

Today, I took the carriage of the Duke's Mansion, and the wife was sitting in it, so the coachman naturally didn't dare to be negligent, and drove all the way to the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

It's just that there is still a carriage waiting at the door today.

Wen Ning saw it as soon as he got out of the car.

The carriage was quite familiar, even the palace servant standing at the door of the carriage was quite familiar.

She was supported by Linglan, and she was still thinking about where this person had seen this car before, when that person saw her, he came over with a smile on his face and bowed: "Your servant has seen Madam! Madam, Princess Zhaohe prepared dinner , Madam, please come into the palace and tell me."

Wen Ning just remembered.

That's right, on the night of last year's dust-cleaning banquet, it was also this carriage and this palace official who said "Princess Showa, please welcome Wen's A Ning" at the gate of Wen Mansion.

As for Pei You, it was time for the Yamen to be on duty.

The sky was already dark, and when Gu Fei saw someone coming out, he went up to meet him as usual, but his footsteps were a little more impatient.

When he got to Pei You's side, he said in a low voice: "My lord, you have brought that Mr. Yi back in vain!"
