After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

Chapter 6: The courtier will follow her to the death

Looking at my husband...

Sister Pei is beautiful and wants to be even more beautiful.

Xiao Dingzhao smiled: "I have been looking for a suitable candidate for Sister Pei recently, but I still can't find the right one. Sister Pei is both talented and beautiful and of noble birth. It is really difficult to find a husband who is well-matched. Sister Pei, give me more. Can I give you a little time?"

The young man spoke softly and had an excellent attitude.

Pei Chuchu couldn't think of blaming him, he just thought he was really choosing carefully.

There was no result from the draft. Xiao Dingzhao said that he was still young and had no interest in the harem and did not include any women in the palace.

Pei Minmin was happily waiting to enter the palace, but when she learned that no one was selected, she felt like a bucket of cold water was poured into her pocket. She was so angry that she used scissors to cut into pieces the dozens of new clothes she had purchased.

Mrs. Pei wanted to settle accounts with Pei Chuchu, but Pei Chuchu avoided seeing her. Mrs. Pei made several trips in vain. In a rage, she cut off the monthly money to Pei Chuchu, hoping to make her have a hard time in the palace, and then beg her in turn.

The spring sun is broken.

Pei Chuchu sat quietly under the window, with the dark blue official uniform spread out on the floor, looking at the old eunuch kneeling opposite the desk with a gentle expression.

The old eunuch opened the brocade box respectfully: "It's a small thought, please accept it with pleasure, Ms. Pei."

The brocade box is full of silver ingots.

Pei Chuchu was not surprised.

She stretched out her jade fingers from her wide sleeves, caressed the ingot, and smiled slightly at the corner of her lips: "Grandpa Liu is so polite. You have watched me grow up, and it is just a matter of words to want to take charge of the imperial kitchen. Why bother?" Sending such a heavy gift?"

The old eunuch smiled apologetically: "I will give you some rouge and gouache."

Pei Chuchu closed the brocade box.

She knew that the oil and water in the imperial kitchen was really coveted.

This Eunuch Liu is here for the oil and water.

She raised her eyes, her almond-shaped eyes calm and reserved: "You are old, you should go to a better place."

When he learned that the matter was done, the old eunuch immediately smiled and thanked Pei Chuchu profusely before leaving.

Pei Chuchu rolled up his sleeves and poured tea, his expression still calm.

The aunt cut off her monthly salary, so she thought she would bow her head.

But she was in a high position in the harem, so it was very easy for her to get money.

Thanks to my aunt being so naive at such an old age, half of her life has been in vain.

While sipping the fragrant tea, Pei Chuchu took out an account book from the bottom of the dossier and carefully wrote down the amount of money received today.

She put down her brush and admired the snowballing amount of private money on her account book, smiling a little more sincerely.

It would be a good idea to marry a high-ranking man, but if she really couldn't marry the right person, she would have enough money to keep her when she leaves the palace, so it would be better for her to be a wealthy and idle person.

In fact, she doesn't have to worry about her future.

At dusk, the imperial study.

Xiao Dingzhao raised his head from the pile of memorials and stretched.

The chamberlain eunuch respectfully presented the account book: "This is newly sent from Tianshu. Your Majesty, please take a look."

Xiao Dingzhao raised his eyebrows and recognized that the account book belonged to Pei Chuchu.

He took the account book, turned to the latest page with familiarity, and said in a playful tone: "Eight hundred taels of silver in exchange for the opportunity to work in the imperial kitchen... It's really a good deal. Sister Pei, what does she think of my palace?"

The eunuch smiled: "Your Majesty, you knew about Miss Pei's private use of power two years ago, didn't you? You knew it but didn't ask any questions. In the end, it was you who connived at it. You are very tolerant and considerate of Miss Pei."

Xiao Dingzhao disagreed.

He handed the account book to the eunuch: "Put it back as it is. Don't let her find it."

After the eunuch left, Xiao Dingzhao knocked on the desk with his fingers.

Sister Pei has enough food and clothing in the palace, so why does she save so much money?

Do you really want to leave the palace?

She wanted to marry in the palace, but he didn't allow her.

The smile on the young man's lips turned cold.

The astrolabe rotates, the seasons change, and in the blink of an eye it is two years later.

Pei Chu was standing under the eaves of the palace with a tea tray. The rabbit fur collar she wore made her face white and tender, and the cinnabar tear mole in the corner of her eye became more eye-catching.

She stared at the falling snow in the palace, with mixed emotions in her eyes.

The emperor said that he would choose a husband for her, but two whole years later, he did not mention a word about her husband, as if the previous promise was just a joke.

After the New Year, she will be eighteen.

What to do?

The girl sighed secretly in her heart. Just as she was about to enter the palace to deliver tea, someone walked out quickly.

Pei Chuchu took two steps back and curtsied with the maids guarding under the eaves.

Looking out of the corner of his eye, the middle-aged man had a youthful look on his face, a muscular body, and a dragon-shaped jade pendant around his waist. He was the recently returned King of Zhennan. I heard that he had led his army to fight against the Sea Kingdom in the East China Sea in the past two years and won more than a dozen games in a row. It revitalized Dayong Guofeng.

After watching King Zhennan go away, Pei Chuchu slowly stepped into the inner hall.

There was a fire burning in the palace, and all the people serving in the palace were dismissed.

The young emperor was dressed in plain clothes, with anger on his handsome face. He raised his hand and overturned the dragon case in front of him: "I asked you all to step back, can't you hear me?!"

Pei Chuchu put the tea tray aside and helped Long An: "But who made His Majesty angry?"

Seeing that it was her who came in, Xiao Dingzhao's expression softened a bit.

His tone was still displeased: "Isn't it Jiang Man? He won a few battles based on his status as the King of Zhennan, and then he started to criticize me! My father is the same, why should I confer Jiang Man as a king with a different surname? People who are born rebellious should be put to death!"

Jiang Man used to be the deputy general under King Yong.

He had made military exploits in the past few years, and probably caught the eye of King Yong, who suddenly made Jiang Man the king of a different surname and gave him military power.

Now that King Yong has temporarily left the court, Jiang Man becomes more and more courageous and gradually forms a party in the court to gain power for personal gain. This is undoubtedly a constraint for the emperor.

Pei Chuchu quietly packed up his desk.

She didn't take Jiang Man seriously.

On the contrary, I felt that Jiang Man was more like a test that King Yong specially left for the emperor.

But she didn't dare to say it clearly.

She has liked to study history and political affairs since she was a child, but the old master of the Imperial Academy told her to remember the saying "women are not allowed to participate in politics." Now, even if the emperor takes the initiative to talk to her about state affairs, she does not dare to answer.

After packing up her desk, she raised her eyes and said, "The King of Zhennan has triumphed. You should celebrate him. Do you want to prepare a state banquet?"

"He doesn't want a state banquet." Xiao Dingzhao's face turned ugly. "He asked to go to the northern suburbs for winter hunting, saying he wanted to compete with me in hunting. If I lose, I will make both his sons the crown prince and his daughter. For the Queen.”

Pei Chuchu lowered his eyes.

I have seen people asking for rewards, but I have never seen people asking for rewards like this.

Jiang Man...

Really arrogant.

Pei Chuchu thought for a while and asked, "Then you agreed?"

Xiao Dingzhao's handsome face flashed with a hint of domineering ferocity: "Of course! I am the emperor, how can I be afraid of a mere king with a different surname? My father conquered a foreign country at the age of eighteen, so naturally I cannot show weakness. If he wants to fight, I will fight with him! "

He looked at Pei Chuchu again and said in a tone that could not be ignored: "During the winter hunting, civil and military officials will also go there, but I don't care if they accompany me. Sister Pei, I want you to accompany me."

The young emperor is full of energy.

He is no longer the naive and ignorant child he once was.

There was a soft look in Pei Chuchu's eyes, and he said firmly: "I swear to accompany you to the death."
