stern wife

Chapter 38
As soon as Pei Xiaoran approached, Pei Huayu hurriedly took her other hand, and said with a sigh of relief:

"Sixth sister, you are here. We are afraid that you will not be able to make it in time, and we will not be able to enter the palace with you!"

"That's right, that's right! My sister and I are dying of anxiety!" Pei Shuli also hurriedly followed, her eyes still glanced at Pei Xiaoran's clothes a few more times.

Pei Xiaoran pretended not to see it, and said with a smile:
"I'm here. By the way, this is Sister Wenyi, who I met on the road."

She took advantage of the opportunity to introduce Fu Wenyi to everyone, and then introduced the people present to Fu Wenyi one by one.

When he heard that Fu Wenyi was the daughter of Marquis Weiyuan, Pei Xingshan's attitude immediately softened a lot, and he didn't mention Pei Xiaoran's delay in entering the palace, and led everyone to the Nanque Gate.

Foreign horse-drawn carriages cannot enter the palace, and there will be another horse-drawn carriage waiting to pick up after entering the palace.

And before entering the door, you have to undergo a body search, in case someone secretly carries a weapon to murder the Holy Majesty.

The woman had her own female officer in charge of the body search. As soon as Pei Xiaoran approached the gate of Nanque Gate, the small bow hanging on his waist immediately started to move.

It was only then that she remembered that Suzaku's Nanque gate was made of magnets, as long as someone carried an iron weapon, they would definitely be discovered.

In her previous life, when she was able to enter the palace, she already had meritorious service, and was allowed by the saint to carry weapons into and out of the palace. In this life, she doesn't know if she can bring this small bow into the palace.

Pei Xiaoran thought for a while, raised his hand to grab the small bow that was sucked by the strong suction, and raised it to the female officer, asking in a childish voice:

"Sister, can I bring this in?"

The female officer had just finished examining Fu Wenyi. Hearing this, she looked at her. When she saw the small bow that was only as big as an adult's palm in her small hand, she couldn't help but smile and said:
"can."

This small bow is really too small, and in the hands of a child, it looks like a slingshot-like toy for children.

But just to be on the safe side, the female officer still said:

"Miss, please leave the things to the servant for safekeeping, and make a decision after the servant asks the chief manager for instructions. If you can carry it, the servant will send someone to deliver it to the lady."

Pei Xiaoran nodded, obediently untied the small bow, and handed it to the female officer together with a small arrow in his sleeve.

When the female officer got it, she was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect this small bow to be so small, but the weight was not small. She couldn't help but look at Pei Xiaoran in surprise.

Pei Xiaoran smiled sweetly at her, and said in a waxy voice:
"My sister must keep her word~ This is a gift from the masters, and I don't want to be separated from it for too long."

"Ah? Oh..." The female officer came back to her senses, her expression became more serious, she nodded seriously, and searched Pei Xiaoran up and down carefully before finally letting her in.

Before the time for the palace banquet started, everyone rode in a carriage and went to the main hall to wait.

About an hour later, the female officer who had searched Pei Xiaoran came in from outside the hall holding something, first saluted the few people present, and then said to Pei Xingshan with a smile:
"A moment ago, this servant took the small bow and arrow from Mrs. Pei's family, and sent someone to ask the chief steward. The chief steward said that other people would definitely not be allowed to bring this bow and arrow into the palace, but Miss Pei is very different from others, so they sent The servants brought it in person."

The chief steward has served Emperor Chixuan for many years. When Emperor Chixuan heard that Pei Xiaoran was born with auspicious omens, he was the lucky star of Suzaku. He was very happy. He allowed her to enter and leave the barracks freely, and even granted several top masters in the palace to be his masters. Teach yourself.

With the trust of the emperor, what is it worth to bring a small bow and arrow into the palace?
Therefore, the steward asked the little palace lady who went to inquire about it to reply, and asked the lady official to return the things to Pei Xiaoran in person.

"The little girl is ignorant and has caused you trouble."

Pei Xingshan didn't care if his six-year-old daughter knew what could and couldn't be brought into the palace, he just thought that this daughter would find trouble for nothing, so he gave Pei Xiaoran a rather reproachful look.

The female officer hastily said:
"This is all a servant's job. If Mr. Pei says so, he can kill a servant." Then he looked at Pei Xiaoran again, and said with a smile:
"Miss, please take the thing back, but although this thing is small, it is not small. Please be careful when playing with it, miss."

Pei Xiaoran turned a blind eye to the gaze cast by Pei Xingshan, jumped off the chair, walked up to the female officer and took his little bow and arrow, then raised his face and smiled sweetly at the female officer, his round eyes narrowed into two crescents , crisply said:
"Thank you sister."

The female officer only felt that her whole heart was about to be laughed at by this little thing, and resisted the urge to touch the other's little head, and gave another blessing before she backed off.

In fact, even Pei Xiaoran was very surprised. You must know that the Suzaku palace is heavily guarded, and people entering the palace cannot carry any weapons on them. Although her bow and arrow are small, they are also weapons!

It seems that the head steward was especially lenient because of the auspicious occasion when she was born and Emperor Chixuan's attitude towards her.

She didn't care much about whether this thing could be brought into the palace, but she was used to it. After taking it off, she always felt that something was missing on her body, so she kept it on her body.

And even if you can't bring it into the palace, it's okay, after all, the palace is very safe, there are bright and dark guards everywhere, completely useless.

Pei Xiaoran put away the little bow and arrow again. Afraid that Pei Xingshan would be harsh on her daughter again, Wu quickly got up and took the girls into the inner hall to talk.

Sister Pei Huayu was very curious about the Miss Fu family brought by Pei Xiaoran, and pestered her to chat all the time, while Pei Xiaoran accompanied Wu to chat about some homework, a group of people chatted and laughed, but they didn't feel that the wait was long, they just felt that it was a blink of an eye. , the sky darkened, and bright lights were lit in the hall.

"I'm afraid it's about time," Mrs. Wu had already attended several Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquets, and when the time was almost up, she got up and groomed the girls herself.

After sorting them out one by one, Mrs. Wu looked at Fu Wenyi kindly, and asked with a smile:
"I don't know whether Wenyi wants to go with us or go to your mother? If you want to go to your mother, I will send you there."

The palace is no different than other places, and every word and action needs to be cautious. Wu Shi was afraid that Fu Wenyi, a girl who had not left the court, would meet a stranger outside and would not know how to deal with it, so she thought of sending her there in person.

Fu Wenyi understood Wu Shi's good intentions, and her heart suddenly warmed a little. Looking at Wu Shi, and then at Pei Xiaoran, she didn't want to be separated from this rare warmth for a while.
