stern wife

Chapter 233

"By the way," Pei Xiaoran thought of the business, and said to the little princess in front of him very seriously:

"Thank you, Your Highness, for lending me the clothes. I have asked the maidservant sister to wash the clothes, and I will return them to the princess after drying."

Baili Yu Nian waved his hands fiercely, and said indifferently:

"Hey, it's just a piece of clothing. You don't need to thank me specially. I have plenty."

Pei Xiaoran smiled, and saw that Her Royal Highness was actually a straightforward, innocent and straightforward person, and he was very easy to get along with.

Since Her Royal Highness is a straightforward person, Pei Xiaoran didn't beat around the bush, and directly asked the question in his heart, saying:

"Didn't Her Royal Highness dislike Xiaoran at first? I was afraid that Xiaoran would snatch away from His Highness Wang with Doctor Tao, so why did you suddenly want to get close to Xiaoran again?"

Baili Yunian lowered his head and said a little embarrassedly:
"Well, at that time, I didn't know that you had saved my brother's life and was injured because of him. After knowing this, I realized that you were a good person, and you didn't cling tightly to me like those women. Hold on to my brother."

puff.

It was because of this.

That's right, there is no direct conflict between her and Her Highness the Princess. The reason why Her Highness is hostile to her is because she is afraid that Sister Tao, whom she likes, cannot be her sister-in-law.

Pei Xiaoran smiled and said:
"Your Highness, don't worry, Xiaoran will never snatch away from His Royal Highness with Doctor Tao. If His Highness Li and Doctor Tao marry one day, Xiaoran will definitely send his most sincere blessings."

"Really?"

Baili Yunian's eyes lit up, but before she could be happy, a cold voice came from above her head, saying:
"What are you talking about?"

The two little girls looked up together, and saw His Royal Highness Li Wang came to their side at some time.

Baili Yunian saw that his brother's face was not looking good, so he immediately put oil on the soles of his feet cleverly and said:

"Brother, I'm sleepy, go back to sleep first!"

As soon as the words fell, the people had already run away, and a string of maidservants trotted behind to keep up.

Baili Lieyuan didn't bother with her, and turned to look at Pei Xiaoran.

Pei Xiaoran didn't feel that what he said was wrong, and looked back at him very calmly.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Baili Lieyuan finally spoke:

"Let's go, I will take you back home."

Pei Xiaoran subconsciously refused:

"Don't work..."

His Royal Highness Wang Li glared at her beautifully.

Pei Xiaoran immediately changed his words sensibly:
"Thank you, Your Highness Li Wang."

The two walked silently towards the guest room one after the other. Of course, His Royal Highness Li Wang was in front and Pei Xiaoran was behind.

The night in the mountains is indeed much colder than outside the mountains. Fortunately, the maid put a little fox fur on Pei Xiaoran when he went out, otherwise he must have been shivering from the mountain wind by now.

Fearing that the short legs of the little thing behind him would not be able to keep up with his long legs, His Royal Highness Li deliberately slowed down his pace.

All the way in silence, when he was about to reach the door of the guest room, Baili Lieyuan finally couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, coughed lightly and asked:
"After you were blindfolded, how did you know that the throwing pot had been moved, and how did you still hit the spout every time you moved it?"

Pei Xiaoran raised his head slightly, looked at the slender figure walking in front, chuckled lightly, and said jokingly:
"Why, His Highness admits that he cheated in the pot throwing in order to win?"

His Royal Highness Li Wang counterattacked confidently:

"How can this be considered cheating? This king has never said that you can't move the throwing pot when playing."

Pei Xiaoran pouted.

The person in front was not satisfied with his curiosity, so he turned his head and glared at her, then put on the airs of a prince and said:

"Don't change the subject, quickly answer the king's question!"

Pei Xiaoran sighed at the moon, and replied helplessly:
"Returning to Your Highness, the little girl has never played throwing pots before, and throwing pots is very similar to archery. Whenever she shoots arrows, the little girl will regard the target as her enemy. Since it is an enemy, it means danger, and the little girl's perception of danger The power is very keen, so the little girl regards the throwing pot as her enemy. Even if she is blindfolded, she can rely on her sense of danger to immediately perceive any changes in the throwing pot and make corresponding actions. reaction."

Baili Lieyuan suddenly realized.

This little thing's ability to perceive danger should not be underestimated, just like when she encountered a surprise attack on the road, except for the little black snake, she was the only one among so many people who noticed something was wrong in advance.

Such a talent, but he can't use it for himself, it really hurts to think about it...

Pei Xiaoran didn't know that someone was heartbroken because he couldn't win her over. After thinking about it, he asked tentatively:
"Your Highness, you asked my daughter a question, can my daughter also ask you a question?"

Baili Lieyuan said cheerfully:
"Ask, I will answer according to my mood."

Pei Xiaoran was choked, but still said:
"Although my little girl came to the palace not long ago, she found that the palace is full of luxury, and the service of the servants is even more meticulous. No one can find a single fault. With such a comfortable place, why does His Highness leave the palace every year to live in another country? How long?"

It would be fine if he went to other countries to do serious things, but His Royal Highness Li Wang went to escort the tribute every time. Isn't this a bit too strange?
If it is said that he only went to other countries to play with the excuse of escorting tribute, then why didn't he bring his own sister to play with him?Go alone?
Pei Xiaoran really couldn't figure it out, so he came to ask the person directly.

Baili Lieyuan laughed when she heard the words, and there was a bit of irony in that laugh.

He didn't answer Pei Xiaoran's question directly, but instead asked:
"Xiaoran, I want to ask you a question. If there is such a person who has a high status but no meritorious service, a rich salary but no hard work, entrust him with fertile land, give him a lot of treasure, and give him a lot of money. What kind of person will he grow into if he is given a beautiful woman to enjoy as he pleases, but he is not allowed to make contributions to the country, let alone enter the court and participate in politics?"

Pei Xiaoran was startled, and subconsciously replied:

"A man who is ignorant, extravagant and lustful, and greedy for pleasure."

Baili Lieyuan nodded in agreement and said:

"That's right, so, do you still think it's a good thing to live so comfortably in this king's palace?"

Pei Xiaoran's eyes widened slightly, and he thought to himself, could it be that His Royal Highness Li Wang is in the same situation as her fourth elder brother, is it because someone with a heart wants to use these to raise them up?

It was her grandmother who wanted to make her fourth brother a useless person, so who would be the one who wanted to raise His Royal Highness Li Wang?

Who built this palace for His Highness Prince Li?
And who pointed out the best piece of land in Great Yin to His Royal Highness Li Wang?

Pei Xiaoran blinked, only to feel that the gusts of mountain wind suddenly became as biting as a sword's edge, and it seemed that even the fox fur had penetrated through, making one feel chills all over.
