"The earth dragon in the study is broken?" Wen Ning widened her eyes in surprise, looking in disbelief at Pei You who was slowly buttoning her lapel.

She had a few drinks with Duan Rushuang last night, and naturally went to bed early, and slept a little deeply.

I don't want to wake up and share the same bed with Pei You again, covered with the same quilt.

She almost kicked him off.

"It's the cold winter months, there are no earth dragons in the study room, so it's not suitable for people to live in." Pei You finished buttoning the button on his neck, and then buttoned his cuffs.

Wen Ning still couldn't believe it.

The earth dragons in the capital can be found in the homes of decent people, and they are all repaired at the beginning of building the house.Wenfu's earth dragon has been used for so many years, and it didn't say which year it suddenly broke down.

There are carved railings of jade trees outside the Duke's mansion, and the earth dragon in the house can be said to be broken?
"The Duke's Mansion was built at the beginning of the founding of the country." Pei You seemed to know the doubts in her heart, and said calmly, "It may have been in disrepair for a long time."

This is also possible.

The Duke's Mansion is considered to be a century-old house, the exterior can be repaired and improved, but the things under the ground are not so easy to repair.

Wen Ning sat on the bed in shock, and before she could get up in the future, she pulled the quilt around her body: "What about the other rooms?"

This Qinghui Hall also controls many wing rooms, he doesn't live in the study room, so he can go to other rooms.

"I asked Gu Fei to try it last night." Pei You buckled her belt, her brows and eyes were light, her expression remained unchanged, "It hasn't been used for many years, it's all broken."

Wen Ning's heart froze.

Pei You raised her eyes and looked over: "It's a coincidence that the one in your main house is still usable."

Wen Ning: "..."

"Then you can..." Live in another courtyard.

In the middle of the conversation, Wen Ning stopped talking.

Pei You has been creating a "wife-loving" character set for a long time, otherwise how would she be used to block the knife at critical moments.It doesn't matter if Qinghui Hall is all his own people, if he is asked to live in another courtyard, he will definitely not agree.

"Then can you light the stove?" Wen Ning turned.

What is living here?And looking at the extra books in this room, did he move all the study rooms here and plan to live here for a long time?
"The stove has a peculiar smell, and it's not safe to use it in a room with many books." Pei You fastened his belt, put on the jade finger on his thumb, and looked up again, "If it's inconvenient, you go to live in the study? "

Wen Ning: "..."

That can't be done, she is most afraid of the cold, if she goes to live in a room without earth dragons in winter, isn't that just asking for guilt?
What's more, this bedroom is not what she used to hate. She has re-arranged and remodeled every place. It is said that the bedding on this bed is carefully selected by her and specially smoked. It is fragrant and soft. And lingering.

She is comfortable here.

Wen Ning snorted softly: "Then we can sleep separately?"

The same quilt, too close to him, although she knows that he has no thoughts about her, but he is a man after all... She also knows that he is a very normal man, so she always feels unsafe.

Pei You put on his finger, stroked it lightly, and raised his eyebrows: "I don't want to drink any weird soup."

Wen Ning's face turned hot, and she immediately understood what he was referring to.

Just at this time Linglan came in with water, her face was full of joy, seeing Wen Ning's blushing, she blushed too.

Wen Ning: "..."

Pei You didn't say anything else, rinsing his mouth, washing his face, cleaning his hands, the most common movements, when it came to him, they were always elegant and beautiful.

Wen Ning frowned and stared at him for a long while, always feeling that he was playing some tricks again, but his face was calm, and his eyes were very dull, and he couldn't see any clues at all.

She really couldn't think of any reason for him to live a quiet life except that the earth dragon was broken, but he had to come to join her in the room.

Forget it, after the new year's day, after the fifteenth day at the latest, someone will always come to repair the dragon.

Wen Ning pulled back the quilt and lay back on the bed.

But Pei You turned around before leaving the inner room and said, "Wen Ning, don't forget that there is a banquet in the palace tonight."

Wen Ning sat up from the bed at once.

Too bad, she really forgot, completely forgot!
-
Every year before the New Year, there will be a night banquet in the palace.

According to Wen Ning's previous status, every year at this time, she had the opportunity to enter the palace, sit far away, and look up at the sky with her neck up.

So every year Wen Ning doesn't take it too seriously, she just dresses more luxuriously and goes to the palace for a meal.

It's really late this year when I came back from Jiangnan, not only Pei You, she has a lot of things to deal with here, after chatting with Duan Rushuang yesterday, she is full of thoughts to talk to He Luan, and go to the wine shop to have a look .

So much so that the New Year's Eve banquet in the palace was completely forgotten.

After being reminded by Pei Youyi, Wen Ning got up quickly.

In the past, she was just a little-known ordinary official girl, and no one paid attention to her at the banquet, but this year is different.

She occupies the title of Mrs. Pei You, and this year is the first time she and Pei You have appeared in front of everyone since they got married.

Although she no longer has to deliberately please Pei You for money, she still has the basic spirit of contract.

On such an important occasion, she would not call Pei You and embarrass the Duke's Mansion.

Wen Ning packed her clothes and jewelry after getting up.

This winter is in the south of the Yangtze River, and the clothes I bought are all Jiangnan characteristics, so they are not suitable for wearing into the palace. Fortunately, the eldest princess made many new clothes for her when she got married, and several sets came from the inner court.

There are more choices of jewelry, luxurious, low-key, gold, pearl, gemstones, everything.

After choosing the clothes and jewelry, Wen Ning went to look through the souvenirs she bought.

This year is different from last year. Last year, it was the empress who spoke up, intending to give unmarried men and women a chance to see each other, so men and women sat at the same table.This year should be the same as in previous years, with separate seats for men and women.

Since she is a sub-seat, a newly-acquired female family member like her, who has only returned to Beijing not long ago, will probably be called up for questioning.

When she came back from a long trip, she presented a gift when she asked questions, which made her appear generous and sensible.

It's just that I don't know if the female guest who takes the top position this year will be the empress.

It was quick to choose the clothes and jewelry she wore, but it really took Wen Ning a lot of effort to choose the souvenirs presented.

Firstly, I don't know who will sit on it, and secondly, it does not need to be expensive, but it must be unique if it is to be presented to the palace.

It was not until the afternoon that Wen Ning finally made a decision and chose a group of Koudan.

In the palace, and even in the entire capital, Kou Dan is dominated by bright red.But Jiangnan women are delicate and pretty, and their fingernails are painted with different colors of Koudan according to different clothes, different seasons, and different moods.

I think no matter who sits in the seat, as long as it is a woman, they will like it.

After choosing the souvenir to present, Wen Ning was urged by Linglan to go to the mirror to do her makeup.

Just after Shen Shi, Wen Ning finished her makeup, Wang Qinsheng just entered the courtyard, saying that Pei You's carriage was already waiting outside the door.Wen Ning took a final look at herself, put Koudan away for Linglan, and hurried out.

"Shouldn't there be any other moths this year?" On the carriage, Wen Ning shuddered remembering the experience of being pushed down Tai'an Lake last year.

Now that I think about it, I don't know why Pei You jumped into the water to save Zhao Xizhi.

Pei You's eyes moved away from the scroll, and swept over lightly: "Don't run around, naturally, no trouble can find you."

She didn't run around last year.

Wen Ning held Mrs. Tang in her arms, the carriage was leaking air and it was very cold.

Pei You saw that she was about to curl up into a ball: "Sit here?"

Wen Ning looked at the position beside him, he was indeed very warm, and he was tall enough to block most of the wind for her, but...

too close.

Wen Ning pretended to take a sip of tea, and then asked, "Will Princess Showa be here today?"

The last time she met Princess Zhaohe, she even boasted about Pei You, and then assured her that she had no wrong thoughts about Pei You, and then she married into the Duke's mansion...

"Princess Zhaohe is not Zhao Xizhi, she won't make things difficult for you." Pei You looked back at the scroll and said softly.

She wasn't worried that Princess Showa would embarrass her, she just felt...embarrassed.

"If you feel uncomfortable staying, come and find me then." Pei You said again.

"Really?" Wen Ning suddenly became happy.

Wouldn't it be possible to see daddy and have a few words with elder brother and second brother?

Pei You lightly raised his eyebrows: "After all, Shizi Pei loves his wife too much, and even went to the south of the Yangtze River to take his bride with him, so what's the point of taking a feast with him?"

Wen Ning: "..."

But, cough...

Pei You's surly vigor was used in the right place, but it was... not so annoying.

After hearing Pei You's words, Wen Ning suddenly felt relieved. It wasn't that she really planned to go to the men's table to find Pei You, but she suddenly realized that even if she did something wrong at the banquet, Pei You would be there to support her.
This feeling is quite strange.

Husband and wife are one. In her previous life, when she and Pei You were a real couple, she never felt it. In this life, she has a faint understanding of what it means to be a fake couple.

However, after half an hour, Wen Ning not only had a vague understanding, but also deeply felt that she and Pei You had long been closely related, and they were grasshoppers entangled in a rope.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, there were already many officials' carriages parked outside the palace, and officials got out of the carriage one after another, greeted each other, and entered the palace together.

Wen Ning was supported by Pei You to get out of the car, and followed him properly. Seeing him bowing his hands and saluting, she bowed her head and bowed her knees, followed by a small salute.

Everything went smoothly, only when he was about to enter the palace gate, he encountered an unexpected guest.

King Rui was dressed quite solemnly today. He was dressed in golden court clothes, and the majestic dragon patterns on his shoulders complemented his vigorous expression today.

When he saw Pei You, his eyes lit up, as if he had come here specifically to find him.

Pei You's face was usually calm and calm, and when he met him face to face, he just bowed his hands and saluted lightly.

Wen Ning followed him and bowed his knees.

It was only when she bent her knees that she heard King Rui's playful voice: "Is this the new wife that Mr. Pei will bring with him when he goes to Jiangnan?"

He took a step forward slowly, without hiding the blade in his smiling eyes: "Mrs. Pei, I'm afraid you don't know that when you meet this king, you should prostrate yourself on the ground and bow down?"
