Zhong Li blinked, but the name sounded familiar, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Some time ago, when Cheng'er almost fell, a young man appeared and caught him, and he was actually a dark man sent by the emperor to Cheng'er. Wei?"

Pei Xing wrapped her waist and explained in a low voice: "Cheng'er is your only younger brother after all, I'm afraid that someone who has a heart will threaten you and me with him, so I simply sent a secret guard, with Ling Jiu to protect it, at least in terms of safety. Guaranteed."

Zhong Li was somewhat moved. She never expected that he would do this for Cheng'er. She couldn't help but whisper, "Thank you."

Pei Xing hooked his lower lip, "Thank you so much? Don't just say it or not, give it a kiss anyway."

Zhongli:  …

In the next few days, Pei Xing had a solid rest for a few days. Zhong Li had a restless temperament. Except when he was entangled with him, he would rest for a while.

Although she entered the palace, she still paid attention to the affairs of Fuyoutang.

In the past few days, there have been many more children at the entrance of Fuyou Hall. The scary thing is that among these children, only 20% are real beggars, and most of them are children who were deliberately abandoned by their parents.

These children were born in poverty. Some of them were really unable to solve the problem at home, some simply had too many children in the family, and they did not want or want to raise them, and some were purely for Zhong Li. , might see her again in the future. If there is a great fortune, why not do it?

For some reason, their parents left them at the door of Fuyoutang, and the children were getting younger, even a few months old.

Now that the weather is cold, the older children can still be sent back, but the babies can't speak at all, and the mothers-in-law have no idea where their homes are.

When the baby was crying outside, the mother-in-law couldn't help but take the child in, and there were two or two. Before you knew it, there were thirty or forty abandoned babies at the entrance of Fuyoutang.

The old ladies reported the matter to the second wife, and the second wife couldn't make up her mind, so she had someone send a message to Zhong Li in the palace.

Zhong Li didn't expect things to get worse and worse, she had some headaches. This matter may seem small, but if it is not handled properly, more and more abandoned babies will be sent in the future.

When Zhong Li was thinking about it, he saw Pei Xing come in. These days, he didn't need to go to court, and spent most of the time in Yuqing Palace. When he saw him, Zhong Li felt a sore back, and his red lips pursed unconsciously. , "Does the emperor not need to deal with government affairs?"

Pei Xing finally finished his work. Seeing that she was avoiding her like a scorpion, he flicked her little head and sat down beside her, "Is it okay to have time with you? What are you hiding?"

If he were normal, Zhong Li would naturally not be afraid of him, but he was like a beast that couldn't get enough to feed, and he was even more frightening than before.

Zhong Li didn't know how he became like this. Although in the past, it was a little urgent, but recently it is no longer urgent to describe.

Afraid of offending him, Zhong Li naturally did not dare to admit it, and only said, "My concubine is afraid that the emperor will delay official duties."

Pei Xing was not annoyed, and chuckled lightly, "There is nothing more important than inheriting the lineage now."

Zhong Li couldn't help but jump in his heart. In fact, at his age, most children would run away. He was naturally too late to get married. He thought that the previous ministers were pressing hard, and he was more interested in this matter than before. Zhong Li just hung down in shame. Eyelashes, the first to express his position, "That can't be a day."

The little girl's voice was muffled, and it fell into Pei Xing's ears. For no reason, he could hear a hint of coquettishness. He seemed to be scratched by a feather in his heart. , isn't it the same as at night?"

Zhong Li was so embarrassed that her ears were a little hot, and she couldn't help but give him an angry look, "The emperor is the ruler of a country, how can he be so unprofessional?"

Afraid that he would use the successor to block her mouth again, Zhong Li couldn't help but said: "If there is no such successor, it will be announced in the daytime..."

Zhong Li couldn't say the last word. She couldn't help but snorted and turned her head away. The girl's coquettish and embarrassed appearance was extremely moving. Pei Xing's eyes couldn't help but darken, and his hand moved. , After all, he couldn't hold back, he pinched the girl's chin and kissed it.

Chapter 78 Taste (three chapters in one)

Every time Pei Xing kissed, it was endless, and Zhong Li was so tender that he couldn't help pinching his waist.

Knowing that she was thin-skinned, Pei Xing didn't have a good time, holding her and talking for a while, "Tomorrow will resume early morning, I will be busy by then, if you encounter any troubles here, go directly to the Qianqing Palace. find me."

Zhong Li nodded.

Pei Xing continued: "I heard that you are going to release the servant girl beside you from the palace?"

"Yes, Xia He is not too young, and she is in love with Qingsong, and her concubine plans to let them get married on another day."

Zhong Li has asked Qing Ye to help find a two-entry house as a wedding room for the young couple. Zhang's mother has also sent a matchmaker to formally propose a marriage. The wedding date is scheduled for the end of February, and there are only two moon.

Pei Xingdao: "If she leaves again, there will be fewer people around you. The conferral ceremony is coming soon. There should be a female officer Fengyi by your side. I will ask the steward aunt to come over in the afternoon. You choose the person first. Now this female official has served the first queen, if you look at her pleasing to your eyes, you can stay, and if you are not pleasing to your eyes, you can choose a female official next to you, and you can directly promote her."

Zhong Li didn't expect him to think of this first, "That concubine thanked the emperor first."

The people who can come to her have basically been screened. Most of them are people from Pei Xing who are loyal enough. The rest are little palace maids. They are currently serving in Shangshi, Shangyi and other bureaus. A few little palace maids are basically thoughtful and loyal.

In the afternoon, the aunt in charge brought a group of female officials and palace maids to Kunning Palace, and let Zhongli choose, Zhong Li chatted with them one by one, and finally promoted a female official Fengyi and selected four little palace maids. .

As expected by Pei Xing, all the maids she chose were simple, and had never been loyal to others. If she used them well, they could give up on her in the future.
