He glanced at Pei Zhaoxue with a complicated mood, and simply lifted the lid of the teapot and the lid of the teacup at the same time, making a metaphor.

"Let's put it this way, look at it, this is the teapot lid, this is the teacup lid, you are the teacup now, whether I use the teapot lid or the teacup lid, I can cover the teacup securely, is that okay?"

Pei Zhaoxue followed Yu Chiye's movements and her eyes fell on his movements of covering the tea cup with two lids one after another. He nodded: "Of course it's no problem."

"As for Shen Yuan, this teapot lid and this teacup lid are for an ordinary noblewoman from a wealthy family. Compared to her, the latter one is more suitable for you. Of course, I'm not just talking about the gap in status between the two of you. , it’s not just a difference in temperament, but a gap in ideas.”

"Generally speaking, noble ladies raised by aristocratic families respect their husbands. Their biggest wish is to give you several children and take care of your house. But with Shen Yuan's temperament, do you think she would be willing to do this? What?"

According to his understanding, Shen Yuan played an indispensable role in Pei Zhaoxue's journey to becoming Prime Minister. She was also very talented and learned, and now she was connected with King Andu and went to work as a female official in Honglu Temple.

Not only that, her previous move of asking the Shen Family Shop to provide disaster relief was also extremely sensational in the capital, bringing a lot of good reputation and profits to the Shen Family Shop.

Such a smart and thoughtful woman would not be willing to live a life where she could see the sky as big as the mouth of a well just by looking up, and could only revolve around her husband every day.

Yu Chiye shook his head and took another sip of tea to calm his dry throat: "In this case, all you can provide her is emotional value and companionship. But unfortunately, your high position currently I can't do this. I already heard from my father before I came here. You will spend the whole day in the palace today, right?"

There was also a lot of news about the opening of a good clothing store, and he had also heard about it.

Pei Zhaoxue was silent, and Yuchi Ye walked around to sit next to him and patted his shoulder: "Look, she definitely wants you to go to such an important day, but you really have something important to do and can't get away." , to be honest, you have no choice but to leave it to her, she will only become more and more disappointed with you."

He couldn't provide anything to Shen Yuan, but could only give her some money and dead things that she could earn herself. How could she continue to put her heart on him?

Yuchi Ye had already analyzed it for him, and he probably guessed why Pei Zhaoxue called him here in a hurry.

He sighed again and shook his head: "It's difficult, Ziyu."

As her name suggests, Shen Yuan cannot be a paper kite held by a kite string, but an eagle that soars high in the sky.

Pei Zhaoxue didn't say anything anymore. He was silent for a long time. When Yuchiye thought he would accept his fate, he suddenly asked in a hoarse voice: "Is there really nothing I can do? What if I am no longer Pei Zhaoxue?" ?”

In terms of fame and fortune, he was ambitious when he was young.

But now that he has seen the scenery from above, all that remains is to find out the cause of his mother's death and avenge her.

Then use the identity of the Prime Minister to seek as much benefit as possible for the common people and students from poor families.

After all this was done, he actually had nothing to be attached to in this high position.

Yuchiye was frightened by him and asked him what he meant?

"You're not going to resign for Shen Yuan, are you? What are you thinking? Even if you are willing, the emperor, the queen mother, and those people in the court who have been eyeing you covetously, will they let you get what you want?"

"Taking a step back, if you really succeed in resigning, what happens next? The people you have offended can completely rely on their power to crush you like an ant. If you lose your power, how will Shen Yuan be bullied in the future? What are you doing to protect her?"

Pei Zhaoxue certainly took this into consideration and told Yu Chiye: "Even if I resign, it won't be now. It will definitely be after everything is settled and I can get enough guarantees to protect myself and her."

"As for power, I naturally don't plan to let go. As long as I have enough power spread out and can continue to take orders from me, there won't be much difference between being in power and being in opposition."

All he wanted was to spend more time with Shen Yuan, instead of being locked in the palace by himself once something urgent happened in the court. Yuchiye didn't doubt that Pei Zhaoxue could achieve this with his methods, but he was still shocked.

"Tsk, tsk, but you have to think about it. Do you really have to give up so much for her? Is she really worth it?"

He and Pei Zhaoxue are close friends, so they naturally prefer him, but secretly they still don't want him to reach that point.

Pei Zhaoxue's eyes were calm, only an indestructible clarity that could not be shaken.

"worth it."

It had nothing to do with her guilt because of his death in childbirth in her previous life, or the sense of crisis that others had taken over her. It was just that he had understood his own feelings and really did not want to be separated from her, and he did not want to be a stranger to her.

Yuchi Ye knew Pei Zhaoxue's temperament. Once he decided on something, he couldn't pull ten cows back, so he could only start to give him advice and tell him how to remedy it slowly.

That night, both Shen Yuan and Pei Zhaoxue's moods changed greatly.

The thick white snow and fog lingering over the capital completely dissipated with some confusion when the sun rose in the early morning.

Shen's carriage drove past the trees bent by snow on both sides of the path to the medical hut, and stopped at the entrance of the medical hut.

The disciple who was still sweeping the snow at the door saw that Shen Yuan was here again, so he went in to report with familiarity.

Soon, Xiang Fengliu, wearing a fox fur cloak and a colorful silk braid, came out to greet him.

Shen Yuan stood in the snow, wearing a golden and red cloak and turning sideways to convey something to the tall young man in black behind him.

Although the young man's face was flawed, the excitement that appeared all over his body completely covered it up, as if he no longer cared about it.

"Yuan Yuan, how about leaving it all to me? Just rest."

There was a smile on Xiang Fengliu's lips when he came out. Now seeing Cui Shao and Shen Yuan acting so intimate and calling her that, he stopped laughing and went over with a sullen face to force the two of them to separate.

"Who are you calling? Who asked you to call her that?"

Cui Shao was pushed away by Xiang Fengliu and took a few steps back.

Although he could stop his steps, he still allowed his body to continue to follow Xiang Fengliu's push and hit the carriage behind him, causing him to hiss softly in pain.

Seeing this, Shen Yuan hurriedly helped him and asked him how he felt.

Cui Shao shook his head: "I'm fine, I just didn't stand firm."

When he said this, Cui Shao suppressed the darkness in his eyes and glanced at Xiang Fengliu provocatively where Shen Yuan could not see.

It's true that this person saved him, but Xiang Fengliu would have to compete with him to save him, and he couldn't let him go because of this. (End of chapter)
