She is different from the empress in the history books

Chapter 115
With the dawn of autumn, Pei Peng welcomes two rare guests at his house—Wang Yin and Cao Shao.

It is rare to say that Pei Peng has been in Taizhou for several months. Except for the banquet guests at the first arrival, he entertained the two Taizhou governors, and he has never formally invited them to visit him.

But this time they took the initiative to deliver a letter to visit. Although Pei Peng couldn't figure out their purpose, he still welcomed them with pleasure. The three of them sat on the pavilion in the lake, neither of them spoke, they just casually looked at the surrounding scenery.

The young servant sitting beside him was boiling mountain spring water with fine charcoal. When the water boiled, he lowered his head and poured the extremely finely ground tea powder with the boiling water. Showing a delicate side face.

Cao Shao couldn't help but look at the servant a few more times. Thinking that he hadn't seen Xu Qing since he arrived, he looked at Pei Peng again and said with a smile:
"Your Highness is enjoying it so much."

Pei Peng did choose some good-looking male and female attendants around her, but compared to further sexual play, she just found them pleasing to the eye.

She knew that Cao Shao had misunderstood something, and she didn't bother to explain. After all, her brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, etc. had already enjoyed this kind of thing openly. If she explained more, not only would no one believe it, but she would also I was said to be pretentious.

The young waiter had good ears and could understand Cao Shao's intentions. He didn't feel his face flushed, but his hands moved steadily. He poured tea for Pei Peng and the two guests. Under the signal of Pei Peng's eyes, he quietly faded away.

The surface of the lake is as calm as a mirror, and there is not a single bird or beast. The center of the lake is also some distance away from the shore. Others cannot hear the conversation in the pavilion, so Cao Shao spoke first:
"Your Highness, do you know what's going on in Beijing recently?"

"What's the matter? Could it be that Concubine Li in the palace is also pregnant?"

This is news that came back only recently.

After Qu Song went to deliver the congratulatory gifts, he stayed in Beijing and was responsible for promoting the fruit wine together with the rest of Pei Peng's staff.It had been about two months since he left. During this time, he had been in frequent contact with Pei Peng. In addition to reporting on the situation of selling wine, he also reported back what he had heard about.

Pei Peng received a letter from Qu Song three days ago, saying that Li Xiafu was pregnant.

Pei Peng admired Pei Wei so much that he really didn't waste any time.But he didn't want to think about it. As his future aunt, he couldn't prepare any gifts.

"It must be related to this matter. Three days before Li Bin was diagnosed with pregnancy, Li Silang and the second son of the Yin family fought in Songyue Tower."

From the title, we can tell that Cao Shao is more partial to the Li family.From his point of view, his family still has a relationship with the Li family, but who does the Yin family count?After a pregnant concubine is born, is it so rampant?

Pei Peng sipped the tea carefully without moving his brows.

What does it have to do with her if there is a conflict between the two families?Whenever the grandsons of two families compete for the throne, it will not be too late to tell her.

Seeing that Pei Peng had no reaction, Cao Shao knew that the news had not reached Pei Peng's ears yet, so he could only bite the bullet and add:
"They mentioned you in their dispute. The son of the Yin family said that you felt that Concubine Li was not up to date, and you sent her to the palace but was not pregnant, so you bet on the child in the womb of Beauty Yin. And Li Silang is Concubine Li's younger brother, so he is naturally angry. However, I started fighting with him. And now..."

Pei Peng heard Cao Shao's unfinished intentions, and now Li Bin was pregnant.Such a coincidence, it was after the two of them started.

In fact, Li Xiafu also took a deep breath. Taking advantage of Yin Meiren's pregnancy and Wang Shu's time for admonishing Pei Wei to be lenient, she had already won most of Pei Wei's attention, and finally felt faint signs of pregnancy.

She secretly paid for a diagnosis by an imperial doctor who was familiar with the Li family. She was diagnosed with pregnancy, but she did not allow the imperial doctor to spread the word. She wanted to wait until the fetal image was more stable before making it public.

The plan was well planned, but the Yin family was so rampant, I don't know if the Li family wanted to see Pei Peng express their position, anyway let Li Xiafu make it public.

Pei Peng put down the teacup heavily in dissatisfaction, startling a bird that was pacing on the stone table.

She couldn't help but cursed:
"The Yin family really has a big face. They think I'm surrendering after taking in a horse? Haven't you seen anything good?"

Cao Shao also found it funny, and he was also a little angry.

He felt a little bit about Pei Rong's choice. Pei Rong was not willing to let Pei Wei, who was born in a humble way, step on her head. Cao Shao also felt that he could not bear to let such a frivolous Yin family step on his own head one day through blood.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Cao Shao, nor with the Cao family. Cao Shao chose to come with Wang Yin for this reason.

He reminded Pei Peng:
"No matter what, the Yin family has used you as a raft for this matter. Even if you don't mean it, someone will try to grab you. You have to think carefully about how to deal with it."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Wang Yin who didn't say a word, cupped his hands and stood up, saluted Pei Peng again, and asked:

"I don't know where Xiaosong is. I want to see him."

Chen Song has moved to live with the Taoist priests for eight out of ten days. Naturally, Pei Peng couldn't let Cao Shao go to that yard, so he hurriedly told him to go ashore to find Xu Shu, and asked Xu Shu to find Chen Song for him.

Fortunately, Xu Shu was the head of the house and Chen Song's cousin, so she could help Chen Song entertain Cao Shao and prevent the uncle and nephew from talking about topics they shouldn't talk about.

After Cao Shao left, Wang Yin sighed:
"Who would have thought that His Majesty has only succeeded to the throne for a few years, and the disputes have begun again."

"Has His Majesty dealt with this matter?"

Pei Peng thinks it's nothing, as long as there are interests, there will be disputes. During the late emperor's period, the princes fought for decades, but they were still manipulated by the late emperor like pushing one down and picking up another, and finally passed the throne to Pei Wei safely.

"That's the problem. Your Majesty was reminded of the fact that he didn't want the granddaughter of Duke Cheng's family to enter the palace. Not only did he not feel that the Yin family was frivolous, but he also suspected that the Li family was wooing power to push his grandson to the top..."

Pei Peng stared at the lake for a while before asking:
"This is what you came here to remind me of. It's not because you're afraid that the Li family and I will get into trouble, but because you're afraid that your majesty will think that the Li family and I are plotting against him."

In fact, when she agreed to intercede with Xu Xiao, Pei Peng had already guessed that such a day would come. After all, besides considering the balance of court and court, she probably did not intend to sell well to the Li family.

And Pei Wei's character is fickle and suspicious, even if she persuaded her at the time, it is not guaranteed that she will become suspicious again one day.

But she really didn't expect it to be so early.

Just relying on a few specious words from the Yin family, Pei Wei easily changed his mind.

"So he didn't punish the second son of the Yin family at all? Didn't he play fifty boards each with Li Silang?"

"No, instead he ignored Li Bin, who was pregnant for the first time. He also rejected Duke Cheng Guo's memorial many times in court."
