stern wife

Chapter 231

Yeah!

It turned out that this incident woke her up.

Pei Xiaoran didn't care about being shy anymore, and asked quickly:
"What time is it now?"

The maid covered her mouth with a smile and said:

"Miss, don't panic, His Highness's people have just left, and the lady got up just in time!"

Pei Xiaoran breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to put on his clothes, but when he looked down, he found that he was wearing a silk pajamas with apricot flowers and dark patterns that didn't belong to him. The clothes were a little too big. He couldn't help asking curiously:

"It doesn't look like my clothes..."

The maid nodded and said:
"Miss's clothes have been washed, and this one was borrowed from Her Royal Highness the Princess."

In fact, Pei Xiaoran's little bag contained her own change of clothes, but she forgot to tell the maidservants, and the maidservants naturally did not dare to rummage through her little bag without authorization.

Pei Xiaoran thought to remember to thank Her Royal Highness the Princess later.

Although Her Royal Highness is a bit... er, blindly worshiping Doctor Tao, she has never done anything bad to her, and she is still willing to lend her clothes if she doesn't like her so much. It's quite a decent heart.

After getting dressed, the maidservants also filed in with the things needed for washing.

After washing up, another maidservant opened a jewelry box that almost blinded Pei Xiaoran's eyes. She wanted to dress her up, but Pei Xiaoran politely refused, saying that she didn't want His Royal Highness to wait for a long time, so she just tied a simple ponytail for her just fine.

After packing up as quickly as possible, Pei Xiaoran immediately followed the maidservant who led the way to the front hall where the banquet was held.

Someone had already sent the news of Pei Xiaoran's awakening to the front hall ahead of time, so when Pei Xiaoran arrived, he saw maids entering the door one after another with trays, bringing in trays of delicious delicacies with all kinds of color and fragrance.

Pei Xiaoran also walked in.

As soon as you enter the door, you will be greeted by a burst of warm fragrance. In the spacious and bright hall, countless enchanting dancers in tulle and green skirts are dancing on the bronzing red carpet with bare white and slender feet. Sitting cross-legged next to it is a musician playing music, and in the center stands a huge red gold snake-wrapped incense burner.

Cigarettes are curling up, singing and singing, singing and dancing, what a scene of extravagance.

Pei Xiaoran looked up at the sky, His Royal Highness Li Wang really couldn't change his extravagant and lustful demeanor...

His Highness Li Wang, who was slandered by her, was sitting at the head of a large round table, and immediately noticed her arrival, and immediately waved to her, like waving a puppy.

Pei Xiaoran was speechless, but he still walked over, saluted and said:

"Little girl..."

Before she could finish speaking, Baili Lieyuan waved her hand and said with a smile:
"There's no need to be too polite, there's no one else tonight, just us, we can do whatever we feel comfortable with."

Pei Xiaoran raised his eyes and saw Baili Yunian sitting on Baili Lieyuan's left, and Doctor Tao sitting on Baili Lieyuan's right.

Other than that, there really was no one else.

And it completely eliminated the possibility of her sitting next to Baili Lieyuan.

Pei Xiaoran smiled slightly, didn't say anything, just chose a seat at random and sat down.

Immediately, a maid held a small white-glazed and gold-painted soup cup and put it in front of her. When the lid was opened, a scent of fragrance burst out immediately.

Baili Lieyuan said very considerately:
"Drink some soup first, and eat later, it's good for your health."

Pei Xiaoran stirred it with a small porcelain spoon, and saw that there was ginseng, deer antler, and snow lotus in the soup.

Sigh, the life of their Suzaku Red Emperor is almost like this.

A few people began to eat in silence without eating or sleeping, and when they were about to eat, Pei Xiaoran suddenly said:

"Your Highness, if there is nothing wrong, I think I will leave for Suzaku tomorrow."

When Doctor Tao heard this, he couldn't help but smile.

Baili Lieyuan frowned and asked:
"Why, are you not used to living here? Or are they not serving you well?"

"Neither of them," Pei Xiaoran shook his head, and said:
"It's just that I have completed the task of escorting His Highness back to the fief, so I'm afraid I will only cause His Highness trouble if I stay."

"Did the king say that he found it troublesome?"

Baili Lieyuan showed displeasure, thought for a moment, and said in a slightly slower tone:

"You have made meritorious service in escorting me and even saved my life. I should treat you well for a few days. Could it be that you don't even give me a chance to repay you?"

"I……"

Pei Xiaoran wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Baili Lieyuan:
"Okay, that's it. This king will write to Emperor Chixuan to explain the situation. You just need to stay here with peace of mind. And your subordinates, this king will also treat them well."

Pei Xiaoran asked persistently:

"Then I don't know when Xiaoran can leave?"

Baili Lieyuan thought for a while and said:
"Half……"

I just wanted to say that half a year later, when I saw the aggressive eyes of the little hedgehog, I had to change my words:

"In half a month."

Pei Xiaoran smiled and said:
"It's a word."

The atmosphere between the two became harmonious again.

Only Doctor Tao almost broke the silver chopsticks in his hand.

Baili Yunian, who was satiated and sipping a teacup, suddenly turned around and asked Pei Xiaoran:

"Miss Pei, do you know how to play throwing pots?"

Pei Xiaoran was stunned for a moment, and looked at Baili Yunian with wide eyes suspiciously, Her Royal Highness, are you... talking to her?

Baili Yu Nian was looking at her with a pair of beautiful big eyes blinking.

Uh... you should be talking to her, right?

Pei Xiaoran hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

She has never played throwing pots before, but she has seen others play it. It is actually similar to archery, except that the small arrows used for throwing pots are lighter, and the target is just the mouth of the pot. It should be easy.

It's just, didn't this Her Royal Highness hate her very much from the moment we met?Why did you suddenly take the initiative to come to play with her?

Seeing her nodding, Baili Yunian suddenly became happy, ran over and took her hand and said:
"Then come and play with me for a while, okay?"

Pei Xiaoran looked at Baili Lieyuan inquiringly, but Baili Lieyuan shook her head at her, signaling: He doesn't know why his sister suddenly became so friendly to her.

Although Pei Xiaoran had doubts in his heart, he slid off the chair and followed her to the open space beside her, seeing the hopeful eyes of His Highness the Princess.

The small arrows scattered there have been cleaned up, and only a throwing pot with a big belly and a small mouth is left standing there.

Baili Yunian felt that Pei Xiaoran was younger than himself and should take care of her, so he pointed to the barrel containing the small arrows and said:

"Sister Xiaoran, come first. Let's see who votes more, and whoever votes more wins. How about it?"

Pei Xiaoran asked cautiously:

"What happens to the loser?"

Baili Yu Nian looked up to the sky and thought for a while, but he didn't know what good idea came up, and excitedly said:

"If you lose, how about meowing like a cat?"

Learning to meow is very simple, Pei Xiaoran nodded, grabbed a handful of small arrows from the barrel, stood at the same distance from the throwing pot as Baili Yunian, aimed slightly, and threw the small arrows out.
