stern wife

Chapter 241

Ding Fei was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, cupped his hands and said:

"Yes!"

As Ding Fei said, just after dinner time, a group of people came to the gate of the palace.

Pei Xiaoran got out of the carriage, walked into the palace with the soldiers, and hurried towards Emperor Chixuan's bedroom.

At this time, Emperor Chixuan must be in the bedroom, and it's not yet time to turn over the cards of the concubines in the harem. If it was later, Pei Xiaoran might have to wait for Emperor Chixuan to finish his work before he could see his holy face.

Someone had gone to the dormitory to report earlier, and when Pei Xiaoran and his group reached the door of the dormitory, they saw Zhao Shun standing outside the gate in person, and when he saw Pei Xiaoran, he bowed and saluted:
"Miss Pei really worked hard!"

Pei Xiaoran smiled slightly, stepped forward to help him up, and said:
"Don't dare, how will Your Majesty be well these few months?"

Zhao Shun responded with a smile:

"Miss is interested. Your Majesty is well. He is waiting in the bedroom. Please come in quickly, miss."

Pei Xiaoran took Ding Fei, Ji Liang and Zhang Yao into the bedroom with Zhao Shun.

The bedroom hall was brightly lit. As Pei Xiaoran expected, Emperor Chixuan had just had dinner and was resting on the couch. When he heard that Pei Xiaoran had returned, he immediately sat up and asked Zhao Shun to go out to meet him.

As soon as Pei Xiaoran entered the dormitory, he saw Emperor Chixuan sitting at the table waiting for her, he hurried forward a few steps, knelt down with Ding Fei and others and said:
"Xiaoran/Your Majesty greets you."

"Get up!"

Emperor Chixuan supported Pei Xiaoran's small arm and pulled him up. He looked up and down first, then heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile:
"Finally, I came back safely, but I'm so worried!"

Pei Xiaoran's heart warmed when he heard it, and he lowered his head and said:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern! It's just that Xiaoran failed to bring back all of our Suzaku soldiers..."

"Oh~ how can I blame you?" Emperor Chixuan waved his hand, his face darkened slightly, and said:
"The King Li of the Great Yin has already written to tell me about this matter. I think that someone deliberately targeted the King Li of the Great Yin and sent so many people to attack the King Li. You and those Suzaku soldiers were innocently implicated. , Moreover, King Li also said that you did a lot of hard work in this attack, and you were injured in protecting him, so I want you to reward you!"

Speaking of this, Emperor Chixuan quickly asked again:
"How's the injury? But it's already healed? Why don't I ask the imperial doctor to come over and take a look at you?"

Pei Xiaoran grinned, showing a sweet smile, and said:

"Your Majesty, don't worry, it's all over. His Royal Highness Li Wang treats Xiaoran like a guest. He has asked the doctor to take a look at Xiaoran a long time ago."

It's just that there is something wrong with the doctor you invited, and it's not worth reporting to the Holy One.

Only then did Emperor Chixuan feel relieved, patted his knee and said with emotion:

"King Li is right, that is, I really should reward you well. You saved me once before and helped me solve the problem that King Li had. I promised to reward you, but I haven't Honor it, plus this time, you have successfully completed the task, if I don't reward you again, I'm afraid I will feel ashamed."

Pei Xiaoran didn't care much about these, and only said:
"It's all what Xiaoran should do. How dare he ask for credit? Your Majesty doesn't have to do that at all."

The more sensible the little thing is, the more it hurts people. Emperor Chixuan had already made up his mind, and said:
"Reward is a must. I will make an order tomorrow. I won't bother you tonight. I'm afraid you'll be homesick after a few months away from home? Go back tonight first, get together with your family, and then have a good time." Take a break."

This is what Pei Xiaoran really wanted. Hearing this, he immediately knelt down on the ground again, saying:
"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron!"

Emperor Chixuan also praised Ding Fei, Ji Liang and Zhang Yao greatly, and then dismissed the three of them and the soldiers outside to go back to rest, and sent another person to escort Pei Xiaoran back to the mansion.

Pei Xiaoran returned home like an arrow, wishing that she would be the coachman to urge the horses to move forward quickly. When she arrived at the gate of Pei Mansion, she, who was always very polite, didn't even have time to thank the dozen or so guards who escorted her back. He jumped off the carriage and disappeared like a rabbit.

The guards looked at each other with understanding and laughed, then turned their horses around and returned to the palace without mentioning it.

Pei Xiaoran first went to Mrs. Wu's yard, where Mrs. Wu was taking a walk with Nanny Zhang.

The nights in early summer are not so cold anymore, and the cool breeze is blowing, which is very pleasant.

The door of the yard was suddenly pushed open, startling all the people in the yard, and then saw a black shadow rushing in with a 'swoosh', rushing straight towards Mrs. Wu.

Nanny Zhang reacted very quickly and opened her arms to block Wu's face, but she heard the black shadow calling loudly:
"Mother!"

Nanny Zhang was taken aback, this voice...

In the blink of an eye, the black shadow had rushed to the front, and jumped into Wu Shi's arms.

Wu's body was weak, Pei Xiaoran controlled his strength and didn't throw him down, but because of his emotional excitement, Wu staggered back several steps before he stood still.

Wu Shi couldn't believe her ears. When she looked down, even if she didn't see her face, she could feel that the bear hugging her was indeed her precious daughter whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

"Xiaoran?!"

Wu's eye circles turned red all of a sudden, she knelt down and hugged her daughter tightly in her arms, suppressing her choked sobs and asked:
"Why did you come back at this time? Did the road go well? Did you suffer? Were you injured?"

Saying that, he let go of Pei Xiaoran, held Pei Xiaoran's little face and looked at it carefully, and said with distress:

"Thin……"

Returning to his mother's warm and familiar embrace, Pei Xiaoran felt a little like crying when he smelled her mother's scent.

But she was afraid that if she cried, Wu Shi would also cry, so she tried her best to smile brightly and said:

"It's good to be thin, don't girls look thinner?"

Then he answered Wu's questions one by one, saying:
"Because I missed my mother, my second sister, and my brothers so much, I rushed back without stopping. Everything went smoothly on the way. I didn't suffer any hardships, and I didn't get...injured."

It seems that Emperor Chixuan didn't tell about the fact that she was injured by an arrow on the road. If so, she would not tell her family to worry about it.

There were tears in Wu's eyes, but she nodded with a smile and said:
"That's good...Have you had dinner? If not, mother, let the kitchen staff do it."

Pei Xiaoran really didn't eat anything other than the morning meal that day. The snacks and snacks that Baili Lieyuan had prepared for her in the dark space of the carriage had already been eaten up. In order to reach the palace tonight, the group of people traveled all the way. Didn't stop to cook and eat.

Because he was eager to go home, he didn't feel anything, but at this moment when Wu Shi mentioned it, Pei Xiaoran felt hungry.

She touched her belly, nestled in Wu's arms and said coquettishly:

"I haven't eaten dinner yet. Xiaoran is very hungry. Xiaoran wants to eat hot quail, eight-treasure tofu soup, steamed lamb chops with sauce, braised lion head..."
