Chapter 2 Showing Power
Jiang Jinshuang sneered coldly: "Three years ago, you were just a lonely commoner. What qualifications do you have to plead for me?"
The hand holding Jiang Jinshuang froze slightly. Xia Yurong raised her eyes and showed a gentle smile: "Fortunately, sister is back now."
"As long as my sister surrenders in front of your majesty, your majesty may allow her to stay in the capital for a longer period of time."
Speaking of this, Xia Yurong's eyes were a little red: "I haven't seen my sister for three years. Yurong has a lot to say to her."
Jiang Jinshuang smiled: "Okay, we will definitely get together when we have time."
While saying this, Jiang Jinshuang took her hand out of Xia Yurong's.
As if she suddenly remembered something, Xia Yurong looked at Jiang Jinshuang timidly: "Did you see Pei Lang when sister came?"
"Pei... Lang?" Jiang Jinshuang clicked these two words and looked at Xia Yurong with a half-smile.
Realizing that she had said something wrong, Xia Yurong quickly lowered her head and corrected herself: "Yes, it's Mr. Pei..."
When Jiang Jinshuang lowered her eyes, she could just see the red tips of Xia Yurong's ears and the spring in her eyes.
She looked away: "No."
"Ah...Brother Pei went out very early today. I originally thought he was going to pick up your carriage..."
As if mumbling to herself, Xia Yurong smiled and said: "After all, sister, you and Brother Pei have known each other so long. Brother Pei must also miss you very much."
Jiang Jinshuang didn't like going back and forth with people like Xia Yurong.
She stayed in the bitter cold land for three years, but the edges and corners of her body were still not smoothed away.
"Xia Yurong, when there are only two of us, you don't have to pretend to be so pitiful."
But who would have thought that Xia Yurong's eyes would turn red as soon as she said these words.
"Sister, how can you think of me like this? I, I just don't want the relationship between you and Brother Pei to be so stiff..."
Jiang Jinshuang ran out of patience and chuckled: "One mouth is 'Pei Lang', one mouth is 'Brother Pei', Yu Rong, if you like Pei Du so much, why not kowtow to me and ask for advice? He is such an old-fashioned, stupid and straightforward man." , it’s best to handle it.”
"Wei Chen has met Her Royal Highness the Princess."
A cold male voice came from behind Jiang Jinshuang.
She didn't turn her head, but saw the flash of smile in Xia Yurong's eyes.
——She did it on purpose.
Jiang Jinshuang chuckled nonchalantly and turned around slowly.
It is the peak of spring, the orioles are beginning to sing, and the warm sun is noisy.
The long wind blew up the hem of Jiang Jinshuang's skirt, and also blew up the man's robe.
It's Pei Du.
The man wore a bright red official robe, and the patch on the official robe was a white crane fluttering its wings.
His posture is as tall and straight as a pine tree, and his eyebrows are clear and calm.
Pei Du's eyes were cold, like ice in winter. The bright red official robe, instead of making him look tacky, made him more noble and cold.
Crane bones in loose posture.
This word is perfect to describe Pei Du.
Jiang Jinshuang squinted her eyes, but she couldn't help but think of how such a tall, noble and ascetic Master Pei looked when he was on the bed...
Pei Du naturally didn't know what Jiang Jinshuang was thinking, so he bowed slightly towards Jiang Jinshuang as a salute.
Before Jiang Jinshuang could say anything, Xia Yurong on the side called "Brother Pei" and ran to Pei Du softly.
The ends of her eyes were still flushed, and she knew she had been bullied just now. She bit her lip slightly and looked timidly at the person coming.
She didn't say anything, just looked at Pei Du with a pair of watery eyes, which made me feel pity for her.
But Pei Du was so old-fashioned that it was almost outrageous.
He didn't even look at Xia Yurong, but looked at Jiang Jinshuang with cold eyes, his lips pursed very straight.
Jiang Jinshuang tilted her head slightly and smiled calmly: "Mr. Pei, ah no, it should be Chief Pei now. Long time no see. How are you?"
The man's eyes were cold and he said nothing.
Pei Du was a man with a very good skin, a heavy waist and a pair of temples, standing as tall as pines and bamboos in the mountains. His skin was whiter than snow, and his black hair was as smooth as a woman's.
It's just that there are really few words. Even on the bed, he can only use his strength and can't say any love words.
She and Pei Du were in a stalemate. When Xia Yurong saw this, she bit her lip and said, "Pei, brother Pei, sister, what she said was unintentional. Don't blame her..."
Pei Du seemed to have noticed Xia Yurong next to him. He frowned slightly and then took a step back calmly: "Miss Xia, you should go back early. Your father was already outside the palace just now." Come on." Xia Yurong was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and said softly: "Thank you, Brother Pei, for letting me know. I'll go back first."
After saying that, Xia Yurong raised a smile towards Pei Du again: "My lord, remember the agreement with Rong'er tomorrow!"
Pei Du didn't speak, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Xia Yurong then glanced at Jiang Jinshuang again, turned around and walked towards the palace gate.
The sun was a little bit poisonous. Jiang Jinshuang looked at Xia Yurong's back, annoyance flashed in her eyes: "So it wasn't her who led me to see His Majesty? That made me stay here listening to her nagging for so long."
Jiang Jinshuang thought the guard said that the person who led her to see the emperor was Xia Yurong!
If she had known otherwise, she should have walked away just now.
——A waste of time.
As if he didn't hear Jiang Jinshuang's complaints, Pei Du walked up to Jiang Jinshuang and said in a calm voice: "Your Highness, please follow me."
With that said, Pei Du walked half a step in front of Jiang Jinshuang and led her towards Weiyang Palace.
Walking behind Pei Du, Jiang Jinshuang could only see Pei Du's back.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
After three years of not seeing each other, Pei Du's back seems to be quite broad again.
Three years ago, Pei Du was just a poor scholar. His family was not well off and he was often hungry and full.
Jiang Jinshuang made some medicinal meals for him all day long, and urged him to eat and drink medicine on time, so that he could take good care of his body.
At that time, Pei Du's shoulders seemed a bit thin, but now he looks more eye-catching and comfortable.
He looked really good in this red official robe, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, and the jade belt around his waist outlined the man's clear figure.
Jiang Jinshuang has always felt that these officials wearing red robes are old-fashioned and have an old man's air.
Unexpectedly, Pei Du would look quite different when wearing these clothes.
Jiang Jinshuang unconsciously thought: If Pei Du knew that she was thinking about him now, she would probably just walk away in anger!
Thinking of this, Jiang Jinshuang couldn't help but chuckle.
Not noticing Pei Du stopping in front of him, Jiang Jinshuang accidentally bumped into his back!
With a sore nose, Jiang Jinshuang frowned, rubbed her nose, and took a few steps back.
"We're here."
Only then did Jiang Jinshuang raise her eyes and realized that at some point, she had arrived outside Weiyang's palace.
Pei Du ignored Jiang Jinshuang and just raised his hands and shouted: "Your Majesty, Princess Zhaoming has arrived."
When Jiang Jinshuang saw this, he also understood the situation and said, "I will see you, Your Majesty."
I don’t know how much time passed.
A chamberlain came out of the palace.
Jiang Jinshuang knew this person as Eunuch Kang, the emperor's personal eunuch.
Eunuch Kang twisted the fly whisk and walked to Jiang Jinshuang: "Your Highness, Your Majesty is not feeling well today. He said he would like to see you another day."
When Jiang Jinshuang heard this, she just smiled and said: "Okay, then Eunuch Laokang will take care of my father. I will come to pay my respects another day."
"Your Highness, walk slowly."
Jiang Jinshuang nodded slightly, turned and left.
"Hey, Mr. Pei, please stay." Eunuch Kang hurriedly walked to Pei Du's side. "His Majesty heard that you got a new chess record a few days ago and was about to show you a few words. Please."
Jiang Jinshuang heard the voice coming from behind and understood.
She asked nothing and left the palace alone.
——
"Ah? Why is your Majesty like this..."
On the way back to the princess mansion, Jiang Jinshuang told Chuntao about this, and Chuntao looked indignant.
"I said I want to see you because I'm not feeling well. You haven't gone far yet and you're going to play chess with Mr. Pei. Doesn't it make it clear that you don't want to see His Highness!"
Jiang Jinshuang chuckled nonchalantly: "Your Majesty was just doing it for me to see."
This was a warning to her to return to Beijing.
His Majesty wanted to take the opportunity to kill her spirit.
Chuntao coaxed: "Your Highness, please don't be sad. While I was waiting outside the palace, I actually saw that Xia Yurong!"
"Huh, she lived on the streets in the early years. If it weren't for your kindness, Your Highness, you brought her back to your house to be a maid, how could she be where she is today!"
