Chapter Seventeen

It was time for Pei Rongbai to light the lanterns when he returned home.

At that time, Qiao Songyu was eating dinner, Pei Rongbai was not around, he ate quite comfortably - Needless to say, there are six dishes for dinner, each of which is very delicious, Qiao Songyu has always been very fond of eatingPay attention, now that there is delicious food, don't care about Pei Rongbai anymore.

"Ma'am, are you eating?"

A piece of bamboo shoots held by the tip of Qiao Song's jade chopsticks "slapped" onto the table. He turned his head a little stiffly and saw Pei Rongbai walking in in a crimson official suit.Dressed in crimson, he is so handsome that people and gods are angry, especially when he walks around with his hands behind his back, he looks like a dog. Those who don't know really think that he is a loyal courtier!

He realized that Pei Rongbai had walked beside him unconsciously, he quickly turned his head and said: "I thought you had dinner in the palace, so I'll eat first."

"It's okay, eat first if you're hungry." Pei Rongbai said, sat down opposite him, and said to the servants waiting at the side, "Go get some more bowls and chopsticks."

"yes."

Pei Rongbai rolled up his sleeves calmly, looked at Qiao Songyu who was facing him with an uncomfortable face, trying not to look at him, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, madam, are you unhappy?"

You came halfway through the meal, can I be happy?Qiao Songyu said in her heart, but she only dared to say it in her heart, and only said on the face: "No, I just suddenly lost my appetite."

Pei Rongbai knew that he felt that he was in his way, so he wanted to tease him even more: "Really? Is it because our family's food is not good? Why don't my husband take you to the palace for lunch tomorrow?"

Qiao Songyu was so frightened that she almost choked on her saliva, and looked at him suddenly: "What are you talking about, going to the palace for lunch?"

"Well, don't you think our food makes you lose your appetite?" Pei Rongbai said, picking up the bowls and chopsticks to eat while smiling.

"You thought the imperial palace was your home..." Qiao Songyu suddenly realized that she had committed a big taboo, she quickly fell silent, looked around, then lowered her voice and said to Pei Rongbai, "Hey, do you know what's going on outside?How did you pass it on? How dare you say such a thing?!"

The corner of Pei Rongbai's lips twitched: "Oh? How did the outside world tell me?"

"Also, didn't it mean that you have power over the government and the public, and you are good at exercising power, and you are almost saying that you are deceiving the emperor and being treasonous..." Qiao Songyu just didn't understand, why did Pei Rongbai insist on doing such bad things when he was a good person?

"You just believe it?" Pei Rongbai was not angry, and asked while eating.

"Why don't I believe it? A lot of people say that, and they all say it clearly..." Before Qiao Songyu could finish speaking, Pei Rongbai interrupted:

"What about the evidence?"

"Eh..." Qiao Songyu was at a loss for words for a moment, of course he had no evidence, and the people in court who disliked Pei Rongbai also had no evidence, let alone him as a commoner.

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Pei Rongbai slowly and methodically picked up a piece of shrimp for him, and said: "Since ancient times, there is a saying that 'three people become a tiger', Madam doesn't believe in her husband, but trusts others, shouldn't it?"

"Tch, what kind of husband and wife are you and I..." After Qiao Songyu subconsciously finished speaking, Pei Rongbai's dark eyes darkened and she stared at herself with a dangerous light:

"The madam really wants to settle down with me as a husband and wife, right? How about I satisfy you tonight?"

Qiao Songyu's pretty little face immediately turned red and white, and finally picked up the chopsticks to eat silently: "Well, don't talk when you eat and sleep, don't talk to me."

Pei Rongbai was amused by him, the displeasure in his heart was swept away, he poured soup for himself, and said: "I won't tease you, His Majesty will order you into the palace tomorrow, and I will arrange a sedan chair to take you into the palace, but the sedan chair can only be carried to the gate of Xuanwu, when the time comes, I will go down and wait for you at the gate of Tianyu Palace, and go in with you."

Qiao Songyu was stunned: "Ah? Your Majesty really wants to see me?"

"Well, I am his teacher, and you are my wife. You can be regarded as his teacher's wife. It is understandable to see him, and he has something to reward you." Pei Rongbai replied.

"Wow, there is such a thing..." Qiao Songyu was excited, after all, he just came to the capital not long ago, and even the high imperial city wall has only been seen from a distance once!Not to mention going to the palace to meet the Holy One, that's something I can't even dream of!But after thinking about it, I felt that I was Pei Rongbai's wife entering the palace to have an audience, wondering if the emperor would kill me with his eyes?After all, Pei Rongbai is a powerful minister with authority!Then do you want to dress up so that you can tell that you are not in the same league as Pei Rongbai?

Pei Rongbai on the side seemed to have read his mind, and said: "You don't need to dress up too grandly, just be decent."

After all, his little wife was so beautiful, it would be really bad if Prince took a fancy to her.

"Oh." Qiao Songyu responded obediently in a rare way - Pei Rongbai's ups and downs in the officialdom are better than his own experience, he will not harm himself, it is better to follow his orders.
