Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 618 Quiet Night Talk
Pei Ye closed the last page, stared at the ground in silence for a while, then raised his head. Li Xizhou's exquisite golden face was still looking at him.

The prince did not seem to want to discuss the story with him. Seeing that he had finished reading, he continued, "As for the so-called Luoshen Palace, it probably does exist."

"Ok?"

"You know, Daming Palace is a completely closed world. Sometimes there are such legends in this world, sometimes it is a secret passage, sometimes it is a magical wonderland, sometimes it is the guidance of immortals... Most of them are related to escape. And these legends always involve the former queen or Mingyue Palace."

Pei Ye wrapped his hands around his chest and listened with a frown. At this moment, he remembered the legend that the maid Meng'er told him.

"Perhaps in some deep consciousness, the abandoned old temple is indeed related to the spiritual realm that is out of touch with reality, just like the figure from more than 20 years ago, and thus has become people's sustenance." Li Xizhou said calmly, "People dare not mention her name, but they all secretly believe that she will not disappear without a trace. However, after so many years, no one has ever found what she left behind."

"Then this unsupported rumor should be dispelled."

"No, it has a long life." Li Xizhou said slowly, "Old people can't find evidence, so they will cling to it from various clues. Newcomers hear these legends and remember them all in their hearts. Do you know why?"

"..."

“Because people want it to be true.”

Pei Ye was slightly startled. Li Xizhou had already stood up. The candlelight flickered. The woman looked back at him and said, "From what I know, she has always been someone who will not disappoint others."

"...I will stop in front of Yu Sicheng."

Li Xizhou glanced at the wounds on his body, but did not refuse. He lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Then I'll leave it to you. I will do my best."

Pei Ye nodded seriously.

"Don't be too anxious. In this place, what is supposed to happen will always happen. Many things that we can't see may have already been written." Jinmian said calmly, "Also, I heard from Xu Chuo that you are quite curious about my marriage. Unfortunately, I don't have any gossip for you for now. But there is a wedding going to be held in the palace recently. You might as well go and take a look."

Pei Ye's face paused and he tilted his head: "Oh... I don't know who it belongs to. Is there anything special about it?"

"Yong Ji, he has entered the palace today."

Pei Ye looked at her suddenly.

"What's with that expression? You only met him once in Huanlou, but you already see him as your nemesis?" Li Xizhou looked at the young man, "Well... in order to not lose out in this battle, do you want to marry a princess as well?"

“……” Pei Ye smiled politely and said nothing.

Li Xizhou lifted her skirt and turned to leave. Pei Ye watched her leave before he finally relaxed and sighed.

He couldn't help but think of Chu Shuiting's words that night. He felt the same way at this moment - "Stay away from these Shenjing women."

……

The side hall was finally quiet and empty. The night had just fallen. Pei Ye leaned on the bed, opened his mouth very quickly, frowned and uttered the words that he had been holding back for a long time.

"Why do you tell this princess everything?"

After a while, the blue bird on the opposite side lit up, and the woman's tone was very concise.

"what?"

"I heard that the palace asked you about marriage, and you followed her. I just sat with her and talked for a few words, and I broke out in a cold sweat - you wouldn't tell her what we talked about before, would you?"

"Have we ever said anything shameful to each other?"

"...If you say that you have a better relationship with her than with me, I will never tell you anything I shouldn't tell you again." Pei Ye was a little angry.

After this message was sent, the person on the other end paused, and the blue bird flickered on and off, and after a long while, it finally sent a message.

"No, I'm sorry, don't be upset." Pei Ye was silent for a while, then said, "It's okay."

The light on the other side went off for a while, and then someone said, "Have you read the national newspaper I sent you?"

"I just finished reading it. This is the last issue, right? You haven't written the January issue yet." Pei Ye sat up straighter.

"Yeah, we haven't waited for the material yet." The other party said, "It's settled this time, we must write it together."

"As long as I'm not seriously injured and faint again... I just discovered that you named the months according to the month, October, Ziyue, Layue, then what is January called?"

"I'll tell you then."

The bluebird on the other side flashed and sent another message: "I heard that you went to Yu Sicheng's lair alone. Are you injured again?"

"Minor injury, can run and jump."

"Pei Ye, if you feel suffocated in the palace, you can come out and relax for a few days."

"What are you doing? Want to eat buns together?"

"...I can't. I'm busy these days and can't see you. But you can ask Shang Lang or Zhao Ye Changsun to accompany you."

"No need, I'll just stay in the palace and talk about it after I finish my work. There's nothing to be depressed about."

"Don't you think the palace is cold and oppressive?"

"It's not bad." Pei Ye thought for a while, "I have friends outside, and I can talk to Kitty usually, so it's not that hard."

"That's good."

"Thinking about it this way, it seems that His Highness Jinyang doesn't have many friends. If he grew up in this palace, it would be quite pitiful."

"..."

"Don't imitate her again."

"understood."

Pei Ye leaned against the head of the bed, suppressing the waves of pain from the wound. His heart was quiet for a while, no one spoke, but the two blue birds were both lit.

Pei Ye suddenly remembered the thought that had come to his mind when he was reading the court report just now: "Oh, by the way, I think I've seen the scene you wrote about Li Yao entering the palace."

"Oh?" The other party was really curious, "Where have you seen it?"

"In other books."

“…I didn’t copy anyone else’s work.”

"I have really seen it. It is the part where he stood at the banquet and scolded those crying clansmen." Pei Ye said, "I still remember it. If we were to write it together, I would definitely tell you at that time - 'If all the ministers in the court cry from night to dawn and from dawn to night, can they cry Dong Zhuo to death?'"

"..."

Pei Ye waited for a reply with a smile.

The blue bird on the opposite side flickered twice, but then paused for a moment, then dimmed and remained silent.

"..."
