After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

Chapter 2: I can’t bear to see Sister Pei suffer such cruelty

Pei Chuchu sat down at the table leisurely and poured tea: "I already know what uncle and aunt told me. Just tell them, don't worry."

The maid probably didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

She immediately smiled and said: "I know that the eldest girl is capable. The draft in half a month will be up to you. I will leave the palace now to report to Madam. I can also prepare the dowry as soon as possible. After all, Miss Minmin is The most talented woman in Chang'an must not be careless about entering the palace."

After she finished speaking, she left happily.

The spring sun is lazy.

Pei Chuchu lowered his eyelashes and slowly sipped half a cup of fragrant tea.

After sipping the tea, she glanced at the monthly silver coins with a very cold look in her eyes.

She lowered her head and pulled out a box from under the tea table, and opened it. The box had three floors, filled with gold and silver ingots. The monthly amount of silver was really not enough compared to her private collection.

Jade fingers gently caressed the ingot.

These are the filial piety paid to her by the courtiers and maids of honor.

Either asking her to speak to the emperor, or asking her to help with things, she would often choose the innocuous requests and agree to them, so she secretly accumulated all this money over the years.

The Pei family today is no longer the Pei family back then.

If she leaves the palace one day, she must prepare a lot of money for herself.

The palace is cold and warm, and the world is difficult.

Money often means a retreat.

Pei Chuchu put the monthly silver into the box and locked the lid with satisfaction.

The emperor's draft is coming soon, and the palace is busier than usual.

Imperial Garden Pavilion.

Xiao Dingzhao threw away the ink pen he used to mark the memorial, stretched out and looked up.

The spring sun was shining brightly, and Pei Chuchu and a group of palace maids were busy setting up the flower stand and seats for the draft.

Today she is also wearing a dark blue female official uniform, her hair is tied with a red sandalwood crown, her skin is as white and tender as snow under the sun, she is tall and slim, her manners are dignified and pure, and her expression is very serious.

Perhaps because of the heat from the sun, her cheeks were slightly red, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. When she wiped it with a sweat towel, her wide sleeves slid down, revealing her slender wrists as white as frost and snow, which made her even more beautiful.

Such a beautiful wrist should be worn with a delicate and complicated bracelet.

Xiao Dingzhao thought about it and found that Pei Chuchu didn't have any pearls or jade jewelry on his body.

Yes, today's Pei family...

It is impossible to prepare hairpins and jewelry for her.

The young man cherished the beauty and gave a few words of advice to the eunuch beside him.

The eunuch nodded and immediately turned around and left.

An hour later, he returned and respectfully presented a brocade box.

Xiao Dingzhao looked at the contents of the brocade box, showed a satisfied look, and asked the eunuch to invite Pei Chuchu over.

Pei Chuchu wiped off the thin sweat with a sweat towel, tidied up his appearance a little, and then stepped into the pavilion: "Your Majesty called me here, why?"

Xiao Dingzhao motioned for her to sit down.

His eyes passed over the girl's delicate face,

Her cheeks were flushed from the sun, and she looked much more interesting than the dignified and noble female official she usually looked like.

He gently held Pei Chuchu's hand: "Sister Pei has been preparing for the draft for days. It's really hard. This jade bracelet is my little thought. Sister Pei, please accept it."

He didn't wait for Pei Chuchu to recover and quickly put the bracelet on her wrist.

The girl is bright and charming, with slender white wrists. Wearing a transparent and green jade bracelet, she looks even more delicate and delicate.

Xiao Dingzhao admired the beautiful color of jade reflected on the skin and praised: "It really looks good."

Pei Chuchu frowned.

The emperor's behavior...

It's too close.

He was already a young man who was about to get a wife, and she was also at the age of getting married. Did he think they were still children without the protection between men and women?

She took off her jade bracelet: "No reward for no merit——"

Xiao Dingzhao held her hand without refusal.

He has practiced martial arts all year round, and his palms are covered with a thin layer of calluses.

Placing his palm on the back of Pei Chuchu's hand, what he could feel was delicate and smooth. The touch was softer than fine silk.

If you can play with it carefully...

Xiao Dingzhao's eyes followed Pei Chuchu's wrist bones all the way up, and glanced at her collarbone and chest vaguely. The spring sun was bright, and a sixteen-year-old girl was at a beautiful age waiting to bloom. Such a girl's beauty , is enough to burn people's eyes.

The spring breeze passes by.

Xiao Dingzhao's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he suddenly realized that it was really time for his sister Pei to get married.

No wonder she was always planning to leave the palace, and even secretly saved money behind his back...

The young man remembered that the eyeliner had reported that she had hidden a money box, and he felt angry for no reason in his heart.

He calmly retracted his hand, and the smile on his handsome face became more and more innocent and gentle: "Sister Pei is too ignorant. You and I have been in love for ten years, but it is just a jade bracelet. What kind of reward is it? You have worked really hard to prepare for the draft this time. , this jade bracelet is my reward for you."

Pei Chuchu hesitated.

She observed her words and saw that the emperor was sincerely grateful to her, so she didn't shirk it anymore.

She touched the jade bracelet. Naturally, the emperor's reward was the best. Even the Pei family did not have a jade bracelet of such fine quality. It would be good to use it as a dowry when she gets married in the future.

The girl was in a happy mood, stood up, knelt down and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

Xiao Dingzhao clearly captured her happiness.

It turns out that Sister Pei likes money and jewelry...

After finding out the girl's preferences, Xiao Dingzhao was also very happy and took the opportunity to help her up personally: "My childhood sweethearts, Sister Pei, and I have a deep relationship, so there is no need to bow in private."

Watching Pei Chuchu retreat away, he still had a smile on his lips.

The personal eunuch could see it clearly and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, to Miss Pei..."

Xiao Dingzhao said it clearly: "You want to ask, do I admire Sister Pei?"

The eunuch smiled shyly: "Miss Pei is beautiful, dignified and noble in behavior. In real terms, she is not inferior to those famous girls who participated in the talent show. "

Xiao Dingzhao raised his eyebrows casually: "I don't know what kind of feelings I have for her. Sister Pei is extremely talented in both reading and political affairs. When I was young, I was jealous of her talent and secretly hindered her. It’s just that she has been with me for many years, so I still want to keep her by my side. As for whether I love her or not, I have never loved a woman, so how do I know what love is?”

The young man has a clear mind.

As he spoke, there was a slight evil spirit hidden in the corners of his eyebrows, but it did not detract from his appearance, but instead made him more handsome and seductive, like a handsome fox demon in the deep palace.

The eunuch suggested: "It is better to let Miss Pei also participate in the draft. Whether you love her or not is not important to the emperor. As long as she participates in the draft, you can keep her in the palace for the rest of her life."

Xiao Dingzhao smiled and watched Pei Chuchu from a distance as he directed the palace maids to rush in and out.

He caressed a peony carelessly.

I wanted to climb up and break it, but my fingertips stopped on the green stem.

He slowly retracted his hand: "Without the emperor's love, staying in the palace is a kind of cruelty. I can't bear sister Pei to suffer such cruelty."

,

Happy New Year’s Eve, draw a hundred small red envelopes!

I wish my fairies good health every year, good health and success in the new year, and a good mood every day!
