White Moonlight of Powerful Officials at large

Chapter 70

Pei You already engaged?nonsense.

Wen Ning is now very sure that Pei You pulled out her marriage contract with "Xiaoya" purely to use her as a shield.Although she was young back then, she could remember things very well, and she never said anything like marrying Pei You in the future.

Never had a joke.

When Princess Zhaohe asked, Wen Ning was concerned.

It must be that Emperor Jiahe intended to match his beloved daughter with Pei You. In his previous life, Pei You said he liked Wen's A Ning in the backyard. In this life, he didn't recognize him, so he declined by saying that he had a marriage contract.

So in the previous life, Princess Zhaohe went to find her personally, and looked at her curiously; in this life, she was passed on to the palace as a person who was "unrepentant" to Pei You, to inquire about the news of the fiancée.

For a moment, Wen Ning almost wanted to expose Pei You's lie, without the pretense of this marriage contract, let's see how he would refuse the emperor's marriage offer!
But after thinking about it, he is actually paranoid and extreme. No one can stop him from doing what he wants to do. Similarly, no one can force him to do what he doesn't want to do.

Since he moved out of the engagement, he must have no intention of Shang Princess.

"Returning to Your Highness, my daughter heard Master Pei mention this matter, but she only knows that the girl's baby name is 'Xiaoya'. It seems to be a marriage contract since she was a child, and the other daughters don't know about it either."

Wen Ning decided not to get involved in his affairs, saying that she "should" know.

"Xiaoya?" Princess Zhaohe frowned, with confusion and relief on her beautiful face, she whispered, "Auntie said that he has been looking for her since he returned to the Duke's mansion, and it has been almost a year. People who have not been found by the power of the government, I am afraid..."

She shook her head regretfully.

Then she raised her eyes and asked Wen Ning: "Since you know that he has a marriage contract, but you were still under the list to catch your son-in-law, what did you think?"

Princess Showa is really a well-protected and inhumane person.

In this year, it was the first time that someone directly asked her why she went to the list to catch her son-in-law.

Wen Ning made a shy expression very familiarly: "At that time, I was thinking... that the marriage contract was just a verbal one, and I didn't see Mrs. Pei has a marriage certificate, so... whoever grabs it first will get it..."

Princess Showa gave a "puchi" smile: "I like your temperament!"

Wen Ning coughed lightly: "I made the princess laugh."

"Then what do you think now?" Princess Showa asked again.

"Now that he is a son, he is already a member of the third rank at a young age. How dare a little girl climb up?" Wen Ning quickly cleared up the relationship between herself and Pei You, "When Daddy finishes entertaining the Ryukyu prince, he will tell me dear."

Princess Zhaohe nodded in understanding, turned her pretty eyes slightly, and asked again: "Then what do you think of Pei Shizi?"

cough……

Wen Ning twisted the handkerchief in her hand, so she can't be blamed for this, Mr. Pei.

The princess asked about her. As a person who is infatuated with Pei You, how could she speak ill of him?
In her eyes, he is naturally the best in the world.

Wen Ning praised Pei You very "sincerely", how he rejected him like a gentleman, how considerate and filial he treated his adoptive parents, and how he treated the servants at home kindly.

"In short, Mr. Pei has both ability and integrity. His knowledge is excellent, his talent is unmatched, and his appearance is even more top-notch in my Dayin. Princess, I have seen him, and ordinary men can't catch their eyes."

Princess Zhaohe heard her praise, her eyes became brighter and brighter, she held her chin and said: "Then do you think I am worthy of him?"

Wen Ning was waiting for her to say this, and hurriedly said: "Princess Long Zhangfeng, and Mr. Pei are a match made in heaven!"

Coming out of Chaolu Palace, Wen Ning let out a big breath.

Princess Zhaohe has a distinguished status and is deeply favored by the emperor and empress. She is beautiful and charming, and what is rare is that she is golden and jade-leafed but not arrogant. Master Pei should hurry up and follow her!

A young father-in-law from Chaolu Palace sent Wen Ning out, and the carriage was ready.

"Trouble father-in-law. Today, my father and brother are in the palace. Father-in-law can go back first, and my daughter can go find her father and brother." Wen Ning calmly gave the little father-in-law an ingot.

The little eunuch naturally knew that there was a cleansing banquet in the palace tonight, and Princess Zhaohe was the one who didn't see Wen Ning at the banquet, so she went back to Chaolu Palace and asked someone to invite her into the palace.

He stretched his head and glanced at the Qingyi Hall not far away. Although it was a bit out of courtesy, it was fine for the princess to invite distinguished guests into the palace.

"The servant sent you there?"

"My father-in-law."

It was only half a mile away from Chaolu Palace and Qingyi Hall. Wen Ning didn't take a sedan chair to drive him away. When he reached the gate of the hall, he leaned over and said, "I'll wait for my father and brother here before the banquet is over. I don't dare to bother my father-in-law to wait together. Father-in-law first." Go back to Chaolu Palace and answer Her Highness the Princess."

Qingyi Hall is connected to the Imperial Garden, and the little father-in-law saw that there were also some female family members enjoying the peach blossoms outside, so he returned a salute to Wen Ning and left.

As soon as the little eunuch left, Wen Ning turned around immediately.

The banquet in Qingyi Palace was not over yet, Jiahe Emperor was inside, so she could only hang out with the female relatives to watch the flowers and enjoy the night view when she went in, if she met Zhao Xizhi and others, she would have to be ridiculed.

She wants to go to the restaurant next door.

The dining hall is different from the imperial dining room. It only makes some simple snacks. For example, in today's weather, it is warm and cold, and the dishes brought from the imperial dining room are cold, so they are heated in the dining room and served on the table.

The same goes for wine.

In this season, the drink is still hot wine.

Wen Ning planned to go to Chen Shang first and ask if there was anything unusual tonight.

The dining room was originally prepared for the Qingyi Hall, separated by a wall, but the door of the dining room opened towards the back.

In the second half of the banquet, no more food will be served, and there should only be people from the wine shop warming the wine, waiting to leave the palace after the banquet.

Wen Ning walked lightly through the palace wall between the Qingyi Hall and the dining room, and when she was about to reach the gate of the dining room, she heard a rustling sound, and then heard a woman's crying voice: "Why can she , I can't?"

Wen Ning was startled, the voice was so familiar, and... so close...

She looked sideways, and just three feet away from her, beside the palace wall of Qingyi Hall, stood a man and a woman.There was no candlelight between the two palace walls, and the base of that wall was even darker. Although they were so close, Wen Ning couldn't see their faces clearly, but that man...

It's Pei You.

She really didn't want to be so familiar with his figure.

However, she recognized him only by seeing a vague outline.

that other...

Thinking about the familiar voice, it is not difficult to guess that it is Zhao Xizhi.

Wen Ning didn't want to stay for a moment, but if she took another step forward, she would be exposed to the light at the entrance of the restaurant, and if she took a step back... she would be noticed if she made any movement.

Wen Ning closed her eyes and decided to act like a stone, seeing nothing and hearing nothing.

"My lord, if Wen Ning can do it, I can do it too." Zhao Xizhi continued.

Nothing to mention what is she doing?
Wen Ning couldn't help opening her eyes, and saw the black shadow move, as if pushing Zhao Xizhi away.

"My lord." Zhao Xizhi fell to the ground, but still didn't give up, hugged the man's thigh, crying, "Please have mercy, lord."

Wen Ning closed her eyes again.

What crime did she do to bump into such a scene.

If she had known that Zhao Xizhi was outside, she should have gone inside Qingyi Hall.

There was another rustling of clothes, probably because Pei You pulled her legs away, and then there was a cold and sharp sound of unsheathing.

The sound of a dagger being unsheathed.

Wen Ning couldn't help opening her eyes again.

Although the front was dark, the silver dagger was particularly conspicuous in such darkness.

"Miss Zhao wants someone to pity your face?" Pei You's voice was suppressed, unbelievably cold, the dagger was pressed against Zhao Xizhi's cheek, and then went down, "Or your neck?"

Wen Ning took a breath, the palace, is Pei You crazy?
Zhao Xizhi was obviously also frightened, and was silent for a while.

"Get lost." Pei You sounded like he was trying to control himself.

The petite black shadow climbed up cautiously, and ran away.

Just as Wen Ning was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she saw Pei You standing up and walking in the opposite direction to Zhao Xizhi, that is... the direction she was in.

Wen Ning: "..."

Subconsciously holding his breath, he silently leaned against the base of the wall.

It's so dark here, God bless, don't see her.

But the next moment, Wen Ning knew that she couldn't escape.

Pei You stared straight at her with a pair of cloudy eyes, clearly aware of her existence earlier, and came straight to her.

In front is the dining hall, Wen Ning was about to leave, but Pei You grabbed her wrist: "Why are you here?" He pulled her and walked forward.

The pace was too fast, Wen Ning couldn't keep up, she wanted to shake off Pei You's hand, but clearly couldn't do it, she just staggered and said: "I... Princess Zhaohe summoned me into the palace, I... I didn't have anything just now See……"

Pei You didn't seem to be listening to her, and just dragged her forward.

"Mr. Pei, Mr. Pei..." Wen Ning trembled as she thought about the dagger he had just pulled out, "I'm here to find my father and brothers, I...I'm not..." to pester you...

Wen Ning was halfway through speaking, and sensitively found that Pei You seemed to be abnormal.

His palms were always warm and cool, but now he was holding her, his wrists were scorchingly hot.She was dragged by him so that she was panting normally, but his breathing was always steady, but at this moment it was also a little short.

A bad premonition floated in Wen Ning's heart, knowing that she couldn't shake off that hand, she still struggled: "Master Pei, where are you taking me!"

Not far ahead was Tai'an Lake, Pei You didn't know how to make many twists and turns, and didn't bump into any palace servants on the road, so she was dragged to the edge of Tai'an Lake.

There were many trees by the lake, and as soon as Pei You let go, Wen Ning's back hit a tree trunk.

"What do you want to do tonight?" Pei You's voice was hoarse, and he could see that his complexion was a little pink and his eyes were a little cloudy, and he was trying to stay awake.

What do you want to do tonight...

Wen Ning looked at him in confusion, but also tried her best to keep calm: "Master Pei, you...drink too much?"

Feeling wrong again, he touched Pei You's forehead with trembling hands, touched the hot spot and quickly withdrew his hand, trying to run away, but was dragged back to the tree trunk by Pei You.

His men also took two steps closer and leaned over.

Wen Ning finally saw Pei You's expression clearly.

Her face was not pink, but flushed, her breathing was not only rapid, but also extremely hot, and the clear and cloudy eyes were firmly locked on her face.

Do not……

Shouldn't be this time...

It's all messed up, all messed up...

Wen Ning realized what was going on with Pei You, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.

It shouldn't be what happened at this time, it should be Jiahe's 16th year.

In the spring of Jiahe's 16th year, Pei You went to the palace to attend a banquet, and hurried back to her courtyard on the way, with the same look.

Thinking of that night in her previous life, Wen Ning not only felt her body tremble, but also felt her soul tremble.

"Tu Bai!" She couldn't care less, and shouted, "Tu Bai!"

He was always by Pei You's side, where did he go tonight?
Pei You has been drugged, come out quickly!

There was a trace of coldness in Pei You's eyes, and he pushed her closer, pinched her chin with two fingers, and made her look into his eyes: "Do you still know about Tubai?"

Wen Ning felt that Pei You still seemed to be awake at the moment, and looked at him with wet eyes that had just been frightened.

The clear moonlight shines through the tree shadows like silver gauze.

Pei You had noticed the sneaky Wen Ning early on, and originally planned to ask her what Wen Qi and Wen Qi were planning tonight, and took her out of the palace along the way.

But he seems to have overestimated his self-control, or in other words, underestimated Zhao Xizhi's boldness.

The dryness in his body became more and more turbulent, rushing straight to his forehead, almost making him unsteady, so he diverted halfway and dragged Wen Ning to the forest.

"I..." Wen Ning didn't know how to explain that she knew about Tu Bai, so she just pushed Pei You, "Let me go first, you..."

Wen Ning drank a few glasses of wine in Chaolu Palace.

When talking about Xing Chu, Princess Zhaohe poured her wine, still made from peach blossoms.Wen Ning did not let go of this once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity, and at the same time praised Peiyou, she strongly recommended the "Floating Life Drunk" peach blossom wine to the princess.

At that time, the mood was drifting, thinking that if Princess Zhaohe could go to Fushengzui to buy a pot of peach blossom wine, would they still worry about business?

At this time, she didn't know that when she opened her mouth, there was a slightly sweet fragrance of peach blossoms.And the tears that almost fell from the shock just now turned into sparkling water and floated in the bottom of the eyes, reflecting the clear moonlight, sparkling.

"You...you..." Wen Ning was so anxious that her tongue was rolling.

In the eyes of others, it is a different scene.

The apricot eyes stared slightly, like water.

The red lips are bright and gorgeous, as if carved.

As soon as I opened my mouth, the fragrance of peach blossoms struck me, intoxicating.

The last trace of clarity in Pei You's eyes was eaten away, and he raised the man's jaw in his hand, and leaned over to kiss it.

The wet and hot lips were pressed down suddenly, and Wen Ning only felt a "buzz" in his ear, and a white light exploded.
