stern wife

Chapter 725
"Hey, the busy person in our family is back? Have you eaten yet? If you haven't eaten, I'll ask someone to add another table and chopsticks."

Nie Xichen patted the empty seat next to him, laughing and teasing.

"I've already eaten, don't bother Your Majesty Nie."

Pei Xiaoran was not polite to him either, and sat down on the empty seat next to him.

Knowing that Pei Xiaoran didn't return last night, Emperor Chixuan must have left him behind for something, and thought that this little girl was not easy to blame, so Nie Xichen said again:

"I asked the small kitchen to cook black-bone chicken soup for your second sister. When your second sister wakes up later, drink a bowl with her. Your small body should also be replenished."

Fearing that the food in the mansion might not suit his wife's appetite, Nie Xichen specially set up a small kitchen in the courtyard to cook food for his queen alone.

Pei Xiaoran gave him a blank look, then squeezed his small fists 'rattle', and said:
"With my 'small stature', I can beat ten of you, Your Majesty, believe it or not?"

Nie Xichen gave a 'tsk' sound and said:
"So cruel, be careful not to get married!"

"I want you to take care of it!"

Hearing this, Nie Xichen put down his chopsticks and said confidently:
"I'm your rightful second brother-in-law now, so of course I can take care of you little girl!"

After finishing speaking, he scraped Pei Xiaoran's upturned nose very viciously, and smiled wildly.

Pei Xiaoran: "..."

Pei Xiaoran silently turned his head to look at the back room.

If it wasn't for fear of disturbing her second sister, this thing would have been buried in the soil by now.

Noticing the murderous intent in Xiaonizi's squinted round eyes, a certain person immediately put away the expression of laughter on his face, straightened his back, tensed his face, and asked solemnly:

"Little General Pei came here early in the morning, I don't know what it is?"

Pei Xiaoran took a deep breath patiently, and asked straight to the point:

"The monarchs of other countries are already preparing to leave. I wonder when His Majesty will leave?"

Yo!Isn't this little guy so courageous, how dare he issue an 'exit order' to him?
And she only asked when he was leaving, and didn't mention her second sister, obviously she just wanted to drive him away and leave her second sister behind.

Hmph, what a beautiful idea!
Although he has entrusted Yutong and the baby in his womb to Pei Xiaoran and the Pei family, the war has not yet started, so there is no need to rush him out, right?

Nie Xichen tilted his head, pretended to be stupid and said:
"Leaving? Where are you going? When did I say I was leaving?"

Then he smiled stupidly again, and said:
"Where is Yutong, that's my home. Since it's my home, why should I leave?"

Pei Xiaoran: "..."

She had never seen such a brazen person.

Pei Xiaoran calmly asked:

"But if His Majesty doesn't return, what will happen to Lu Wei's subjects?

A country cannot live without a king, and it is time for His Majesty to go back. "

Nie Xichen waved his hands, and said with a relaxed expression:
"No hurry, no hurry. I have already made arrangements before coming here. Even if there is no king in the country, they will not miss any of the things they should do."

Pei Xiaoran frowned, and said with a look of disgust:

"Then when does His Majesty plan to leave?"

Nie Xichen picked up his teacup and took a sip, then took out the golden fan and shook it a few times, then said slowly:

"Yutong's body is heavy, so it's not suitable for running around and working hard. After giving birth to a baby, the baby is small, and Yutong's body is weak, so it's not suitable for traveling.

So, I plan to wait until the child is older and Yutong is in good health before heading back home, how about that? "

Hearing this, Pei Xiaoran breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said:

"Exactly, I thought so too."

The reason why Pei Xiaoran came here to ask this matter was because he was afraid that Nie Xichen would forcefully take her second sister back for Lu Wei's sake.

Her second sister's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and she is very afraid of any accidents on the road.

Therefore, she planned to drive Nie Xichen back to deal with state affairs first, and leave her second sister to take care of her.

After the child was born, she would personally send her second sister and the child back to Lu Wei.

It's just that she didn't expect that Nie Xichen was willing to stay in Suzaku for such a long time for her second sister, even ignoring Lu Wei.

Seeing the rare admiring look that the little thing gave him, Nie Xichen knew what the other person was thinking without having to guess.

He looked at Pei Xiaoran, suddenly retracted his fan, and said seriously:
"Xiaoran, don't worry, I will never treat Yutong badly.

Back then, your family was willing to give her to me with confidence, how could I live up to your trust and... Yutong's deep affection for me?

Furthermore, Yutong has been away from home for many years, I don't know how much I miss this land and your family members, how could I not know?

So, even if she is not pregnant, I plan to stay here with her for a while longer. "

Raising his hand to pat Pei Xiaoran's small shoulder, Nie Xichen said again:

"And the share you owe Yutong, I will also help you pay it back."

Pei Xiaoran lifted his chin, and said with a proud face:

"I don't need your help, I will pay it back myself!"

Nie Xichen couldn't help but want to tease her again, when Pei Xiaoran suddenly said:
"Right, there's one more thing."

Nie Xichen asked curiously:
"What's the matter? Just ask."

Pei Xiaoran pursed his lips, seemingly hesitant.

But thinking about Lu Wei's current situation, he still opened his mouth and said:

"Back then, Lu Wei's former lord led his troops to fight you. After the defeat, how did you deal with him... and that woman?"

Lv Wei has no monarch in charge now, if Nie Xichen's heart softened for a moment and spared the lives of those two people, I am afraid that those two people will take advantage of the fact that there is no monarch in the country and make trouble again.

Pei Xiaoran was a little worried, if it wasn't for this, she wouldn't deliberately expose other people's old scars.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Nie Xichen's expression darkened.

He also turned his head and glanced at the back room, then got up and said:
"Go, go out and talk."

There is a bamboo forest behind the small courtyard, and a pavilion is set up in the bamboo forest, which is quiet and quiet, and is a good place for conversation.

After the servants cleaned the pavilion, served hot tea and snacks, they left the bamboo forest.

The wind blows, only the rustling of bamboo leaves can be heard.

Pei Xiaoran sat down on the stone bench and listened to Nie Xichen's story about the past.

It is said that back then, after Li Changtian, the former lord of Luwei Kingdom, was beaten out of Luwei by Nie Xichen and Pei Runzhi, he fled to Xuanwu with his beloved woman Qingqiu.

After going to Xuanwu, Li Changtian received the warm hospitality of the Xuanwu monarch, and after he recovered from his injuries, he lent him tens of thousands of elite soldiers to help him get Lu Wei back.

In this way, Li Changtian is grateful to Xuanwu, and even more grateful and loving to the beauty Qingqiu who brought him to Xuanwu.

But he didn't want to think about how much his original queen married him for so many years, giving birth to children, taking care of the harem, asking for his health, and how much he paid, and he didn't seem to have the slightest gratitude.
