Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 249 I Can't Put It Down
These two lines of dialogue slowly sounded in his mind, and he couldn't help lowering his head again, looking at the person in his arms.

Her brows were full of tiredness, but she didn't feel any discomfort. Instead, she leaned against him very reassuringly, and wrapped her hands gently around his waist.

Zhao Xiwei is not a reckless and impulsive person, just like things like the Pei family, she also first observed his words and feelings, and subtly and cautiously tested his attitude, and only when she saw that he didn't have this idea, did she express her concern from the bottom of her heart.

So what if his answer wasn't what she wanted?

what will she do

Li Xuanye can be sure without thinking, she will not cry, she will only maintain the calmness of the princess, and then she will never let him have any chance to get close.

She is such a seemingly gentle, but very assertive woman.

The bottom of his heart became softer, and he couldn't help stretching out his hand to straighten her messy forehead hair for her.

"Your Highness." The man in his arms closed his eyes and called lazily.

"Ah."

Sensing his gaze, Zhao Xiwei opened his eyes slightly, "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Li Xuanye smiled: "It's okay, I thought you fell asleep."

"No, I'm just a little tired." Zhao Xiwei grabbed his finger resting on his cheek and muttered, "Aren't you tired, Your Highness?"

Li Xuanye laughed, but still answered her patiently: "It's okay."

In fact, not only was he not tired, even the hot feeling hadn't subsided yet.

"Why aren't you tired?" Zhao Xiwei was very depressed, there was no place in her body that wasn't sore.

"You'll know if you don't try again." Li Xuanye pinched her cheek.

He found that her face was really easy to pinch...

The touch is as delicate and smooth as gelatin, and it is soft and bouncy when pinched.

Suddenly, I remembered a word, I can't put it down.

With that thought in mind, I pinched it again.

The person in his arms snorted dissatisfiedly: "But I'm so tired, I'm sure I won't be able to get up again tomorrow."

"If you can't get up, sleep a little longer." After thinking for a while, he said: "I have pushed off all the entertainments in the palace for you this time. I just said that you are not in good health, and we will talk about it in spring."

"Okay." Zhao Xiwei couldn't wish for this. When she thought of the palace, she thought of the queen mother, and she thought of those eyeballs, and she sat up and covered her mouth with stomachache.

"What's wrong?" Li Xuanye sat up.

Zhao Xi covered his mouth slightly, shook his head, and vomited again.

Li Xuanye immediately put on his clothes and got up, poured a cup of tea from the table and handed it over: "Drink some hot water."

Zhao Xiwei drank two mouthfuls of tea from his cup, and then he felt better in his stomach.

"I don't know why, but when I think of the palace, I think of what happened that day." Lying in his broad and strong arms, the discomfort in her body gradually faded away, she looked at the top of the curtain embroidered with flying birds and clouds, her tone was somewhat gloomy.

Li Xuanye did not speak for a long time.

Zhao Xiwei was a little surprised, so he rubbed his chin with his finger.

Li Xuanye held her fingers, his voice was a bit cold: "Will it affect eating?"

Zhao Xi was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head after realizing it: "It doesn't matter, it just makes me want to vomit when I think of those things."

That is to leave a shadow psychologically.

Li Xuanye breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly said: "I'm going to invite Emperor Father to let your father return to court."

"What?" Zhao Xiwei's eyes widened in shock.

Her father has not recovered from his injury, so how can he return to the court and deal with the affairs of the court?

Li Xuanye nodded: "I also know that your father needs to rest now, but many people covet the position of prime minister. If he never returns to court, troubles will inevitably arise."

Zhao Xi's eyes flashed slightly.

What does this mean? Does it mean that if her father does not return to court, someone will seize power?
Thinking about it, the Pei family's thoughts became active just because Concubine Xian moved to another palace.

With such a big incident happening to her father, one can imagine what Chaotang is like.

Regardless of whether it was from Li Xuanye's standpoint or the Zhao Mansion's standpoint, her father had to return to his original position as soon as possible.

After thinking about it, she pondered and said, "What does Your Highness want me to do?"

You can guess the intention in his words with a single sentence, she is really a smart and calm woman.

Li Xuanye couldn't help but sized her up again: "I want you to go back to the Zhao residence."

"What's the matter?" Zhao Xi was slightly taken aback.

"About your second uncle." Li Xuanye's voice faded, "I got news that he took a concubine outside."

Zhao Xiwei looked at him in shock.

How could he grasp such a trivial matter clearly.

But this kind of thing is worth his attention, and he specially ordered himself to deal with it, could it be...

As soon as the thought occurred, she couldn't help observing Li Xuanye's expression again.

The lights were bright, and his expression was flat, showing no emotion.

But the more this kind of time, the more it proves the complexity of his heart.

After getting along with Li Xuanye for so many days, she gradually figured out a little bit of his temper.

He has the maturity and stability of a mature man, but he is only 19 years old, and he also has a childish side in private.

However, because he has been dealing with the relationship between the government and government since he was a child, this childish side will not be easily shown to others.

Unless he's really in a good mood.

Normally, when he is in a bad mood, his performance is calmer, and his expression looks calm, without any ups and downs.

So, why did the second uncle's matter make him feel bad?
Zhao Xiwei was guessing in his heart, but he didn't want to ask directly, so he gently retracted the hands around his waist, which seemed a bit coquettish: "It's hard for an upright official to break up housework. Does your Highness want me to be a woman?" It's not okay to meddle in the affairs of the mother's family."

Li Xuanye raised his eyebrows, and his expression became a bit gentle: "I don't want you to meddle, it's just because this matter must be resolved by a mediator."

He put his palms lightly around her waist, feeling her serenity like an orchid: "Do you know that the woman your second uncle messed with is a young lady married by the Pei family?"

Zhao Xiwei was stunned, and looked up at him: "Miss Pei?"

"To be more precise, it's Concubine Pei's younger sister. She married Jiangnan many years ago, and her husband died not long after she married, so she met your second uncle for some reason."

Li Xuanye is obviously not interested in talking about such trivial things among the parents, so he only picked up the important ones and said a few words, and said: "Now that I have rejected the Pei family's marriage, they definitely dare not have any complaints against me, but It is inevitable that I will have some opinions on you. In addition, your second uncle has provoked such a thing, and the Zhao family has been determined to be unresolved. If there is a big trouble, the Pei family will definitely not let you go. When the time comes, the two The family is disgraced, there is really no need to forge this kind of enmity."

Zhao Xiwei didn't recover from this earth-shattering secret all at once.

The world is so small, who would have thought that the second uncle would marry the concubine and offend the Pei family's aunt?

She was stunned for a while, and then she whispered her conjecture: "Since the woman is from the Pei family, there must be no reason for her to be a concubine for the second uncle—"

No wonder the second uncle was so determined to reconcile, he really had no choice.
