When Pei Shuying woke up, the sky was still pitch black. Although she was not blind, her vision was still a bit blurry. She found that everything in front of her was so unfamiliar. Before she could react, she lifted the quilt. , until the physical discomfort came, the memories came like a tide.

Just yesterday, she had married the person she cared about most and officially became the wife of the Yang family. Naturally, she was no longer the boudoir of the Zhang Ye Pei Mansion.

Thinking of this, I inadvertently thought of last night's entanglement in my mind. She was a newly blooming bride, and her endurance of the boudoir pleasure was ultimately not as good as that of a mature young woman. Although last night was full of hardships and joy, and I also tasted the wonderful and indescribable taste, I still couldn't bear the pain. Fortunately, my husband knew how to pity himself...

Thinking of the shame, Pei Shuying's face showed a look of shyness.

Happiness ripples in my heart.

But when I opened my eyes, I didn't see my husband, and I felt a little bit disappointed in my heart.

Pei Shuying couldn't sit still at the thought of serving tea to the eldest lady this morning. She sat up, quickly grabbed the nightgown thrown on the bedside, put it on in a hurry, and then put on a pair of wooden clogs. He walked towards the washroom on the side.

The brightly lit, steamy bathroom is filled with the scent of flowers. But her maid had already prepared hot water. The huge bathtub was filled with hot water, and a layer of flower petals rippled on the water.

"Madam!" When the two delicate maids saw Pei Shuying coming, they couldn't help but look straight.

My little lady is usually a clear and elegant beauty, but at this moment, her hair is messy and her temples are messy. Her beautiful jade-like face seems to be stained with a layer of rouge. There is a faint luster under the red clouds, and her beautiful eyes are like spring water. The rippling, radiant energy seems to come from the bones, which cannot be painted with rouge and gouache. The snow-white collarbone exposed outside the nightgown is covered with red "flowers".

How could a normally dignified and elegant beauty become like this overnight?

Pei Shuying was afraid that it would be too late and ignored their strange looks. She untied her nightgown and reached out to test the water temperature before jumping into the bathtub. She nervously asked the maid on the left: "New Moon, what?" Is it time?"

"Madam, it's the first moment of Mao hour." The tall maid named Xinyue said.

Pei Shuying was relieved. The time for serving tea was in Chen Shizhong, and she still had at least an hour and a half to spend. When she saw Xinyue coming up with a towel, she asked casually: "Where is the husband?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, she found herself asking nonsense. She has been staying in the Yang family for a long time, so she naturally knows Yang Ji's habits. Generally speaking, he has already gotten up to practice martial arts at this time.

As Pei Shuying expected, Xinyue wiped her back and praised: "Your Majesty is really diligent. He got up early in the morning to practice martial arts."

"So, it is no accident that Lang Jun has achieved this! It is due to his daily hard work and hard work." Pei Shuying said proudly, and couldn't help but complain about her brother: "How can I be a lazy man like my brother? .”

Xinyue knew that Pei Xuanji was actually not lazy, because Pei Xuanji was not only Pei Ju's heir, but also a candidate to be the next head of the Pei family, and Pei Ju had high hopes for him. But Pei Ju's ardent expectations and high hopes turned into huge pressure when it came to Pei Xuanji, so that Pei Xuanji was not even qualified to be lazy. But the young lady said so, so she had no choice but to say: "Young lady thinks that Young Master is lazy, then just be lazy..."

Pei Shuying said dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean by 'little lady's opinion'? My brother is lazy to begin with."

"Yes, yes, as long as the little lady is happy." Xinyue said with a smile. Their master and servant have been together since childhood, and they have a very good relationship. When they talk in private, they are more casual. Xinyue asked while smiling. : "It seems inappropriate to call you 'little lady' anymore. What should I call you in the future?"

Pei Shuying thought carefully for a while and then said: "When you are outside, you and Meiyue call the eldest lady the princess, me the concubine Pei, and the concubine Liu the concubine Liu. Mother's name."

At this point, he warned me in particular: "Especially Concubine Liu, you must not call her concubine by the word 'concubine'."

"Here!" Xinyue and Meiyue next to her responded. Xinyue thought for a while and asked in a low voice: "Madam, is Concubine Liu very fierce?"

Pei Shuying said: "Eldest sister and Rumei sister are quite good. They are not fierce at all, but the title concubine is a bit harsh. I don't want you to cause unnecessary trouble because of these small details."

For Pei Shuying, today and yesterday are the most important milestones in her life. From the moment she was welcomed out of the gate of Pei Mansion by Yang Ji and her father poured a basin of water on their backs, her identity has undergone earth-shaking changes. From now on, the Wang Mansion will be her home for the rest of her life, and the Pei Mansion, where she has lived for more than ten years, will be her natal family.

When she returns to her parents' home in the future, she is no longer one of the hosts, but a visiting guest and outsider.

She is a woman who was carefully cultivated by the Pei family. She knows that many conflicts in the back house are often caused by the maids of various mistresses. Therefore, for the sake of the home where she will live for a lifetime, and also for the sake of not being ostracized in the future, she gives this advice to herself. Maid.

When they finished washing and put on formal clothes, Yang Ji came back. Pei Shuying stood up from the dressing table, happily stepped forward to hold her husband's arm, and said softly: "Mr. Lang, you're back!"

"Well!" Yang Ji saw that Pei Shuying had a woman's bun on her head, her pretty face was slightly green, and she had a mature charm that she didn't have before, so he said, "It's still early, why don't you sleep a little longer? "

Pei Shuying met Yang Ji's smiling eyes and inadvertently recalled the madness last night. She blushed and said in a low voice: "As a prince of the Sui Dynasty, Mr. Lang is still working hard. How can I be embarrassed?" Staying in bed?"

Yang Ji smiled and said: "You know, we don't have many rules among ourselves. We only need to pay attention when facing outsiders!"

"Yes!" Pei Shuying showed a relieved smile. She had lived in Yang's house for so long, and of course she knew that the Yang family's atmosphere was very good, unlike their Pei's family, where all the rules were so strict that it made people feel oppressive.

Yang Ji hugged her and sat down. Seeing how cute she was with her pretty face flushed, he couldn't help but pinch her strong buttocks and said teasingly: "You know everything about her, what else is there to be shy about?"

As if Pei Shuying had been caught in a tight spot, her tight body suddenly softened under Yang Ji's squeeze. She hugged Yang Ji with all her strength and buried her hot face on his chest.

Yang Ji patted her butt and said, "Prime Minister Pei is leaving for the Western Regions at noon today. We will see him off later!"

Pei Shuying immediately sat upright and hugged Yang Ji's neck with excitement: "Really?"

When Yang Ji saw the startled Pei Shuying, he thought she was reluctant to part with her father, so he explained: "In addition to rewarding the army, he also had a mission to the Western Regions, but he was delayed by our marriage for a few days, so he had to gone."

Hearing what he said, Pei Shuying suddenly became excited: "Great, Aye is finally gone. You don't know, he talks too much."

"..." When Yang Ji heard such a completely different statement, he couldn't help but mourn for a second of silence for Pei Ju.

Pei Shuying was excited for a while, and finally realized that something was wrong, but after all the words had been said, so what? She looked at Yang Ji who was speechless with some embarrassment, and said sarcastically: "When will Aye leave?"

"Afternoon!" Yang Ji said with a smile.

Pei Shuying thought for a while and said in a questioning tone: "Mr. Lang, I, Aye, are leaving. Can we have a meal with him this morning? Just treat it as my return home."

"That's fine!" Yang Ji naturally wouldn't object.

They talked some more about themselves, and settled down the day's affairs while chatting with each other.

In the morning, Pei Shuying herself served tea to Xiao Ying and chatted with her sisters, while Yang Ji had to go to the front hall to handle some official business, and then when the time was up, he went to Pei's house for dinner, treating it as a return home.

After seeing off his "nonsense" new father-in-law, if Yang Ji had time, he would go see Qimin Khan in the afternoon, because Qimin Khan would also leave Zhangye with Changsun Sheng and Shi Xiang tomorrow morning and go to the capital to apologize.

Qimin Khan was also dragged into Zhangye by Yang Ji's marriage. Although he hated Yang Ji deeply and wanted to chop Yang Ji to death in his dreams, he had something to ask for and knew that Yang Ji was Yang Guang's absolute confidant. Therefore, when he learned that Yang and Pei were about to get married, he had no choice but to Stay. But after all, he is not limited by time. He must enter Beijing as soon as possible, so he may have to travel overnight for the rest of his trip.

After the matter was finalized, the two separated.

. . . . . . .

When Yang Ji arrived at the front hall, it was already bright, but he saw Song Zhengben, Ling Jing, and Wei Zhenghou at the door of the hall.

Without waiting for them to salute, Yang Ji smiled and asked, "Why don't you go in?"

"Your Majesty!" Song Zhengben said with cupped hands: "Qimin Khan, General Changsun, and Shi Hongluqing left overnight last night."

"Really?" Yang Ji laughed. It was better now. He didn't even need to see him anymore. This also showed that Qimin Khan was very anxious.

"Yes, but he left Shi Shu Hu Xi to say goodbye." Song Zhengben said: "Shi Shu Hu Xi seems to be very anxious. He sent someone to send a greeting card early in the morning. Does the king want to see him?"

"See you! Let him come to see me." Yang Ji knew that Shi Shu Hu Xi was Qimin Khan's confidant, but he was a Sogdian and had the nature of a profiteer. A large number of northern pearls entering from the Turks all passed through This person's caravan shows that he is still doing business, and has even used his current status to make a bigger business.

As long as he continues to do business and continues to want to make money, then he will have the opportunity to become a sharp knife that pricks the marrow of the Turks.

"Here!" Wei Zheng responded and left.

Not long after Yang Ji sat down in the hall, Wei Zheng brought Shi Shu and Hu Xi up.

"Foreign minister Shi Shu Hu Xi pays homage to the king." Shi Shu Hu Xi strode forward and bowed his hand to Yang Ji.

"No courtesy!" Yang Ji chuckled: "Why didn't Mr. Shi follow Qimin Khan to the capital? Guanzhong is not peaceful now. What should Qimin Khan do if something unexpected happens on the road?"

Shi Shu Hu Xi still said with a smile: "The public security in the Sui Dynasty is very good, and there are military protection on the road. How can any thieves dare to act arrogantly? Furthermore, although the Great Khan was just an ordinary prince in the Sui Dynasty, he After all, he is the Great Khan of our Turks. If the Great Khan unfortunately makes a mistake in the Great Sui Dynasty, my eldest prince may misunderstand him. Once an all-out war between the two countries is triggered, it will be a sin."

Yang Ji smiled slightly: "As for war, I, the Sui Dynasty, have never been afraid. Moreover, the generals in the capital and the army in the east, seeing our continuous achievements in Liangzhou, now want to start a war. If Ashina Duji starts a war, the general They will be overjoyed.”

At this point, Yang Ji glanced meaningfully at Shi Shu Hu Xi and said maliciously: "You prairie people have inherited the offensive nature of wolves, but I think the only ones who have learned the essence of wolves' cunning are you and me in the Eastern Turks." Qimin Khan, once we in the Sui Dynasty keep you two here, the rest will not matter."

Yang Ji just turned his eyes around his body, and Shi Shuhu Xi felt Yang Ji's undisguised murderous intent. The smile on his face froze, and his heart shuddered.

Does this lawless bastard really want to seize the opportunity to kill himself and the Khan?

He smiled and said: "I know the king likes to joke, haha, the king must be joking, right?"

Seeing his stiff expression, Yang Ji laughed and said, "Mr. Shi is really my confidant! You and I are business partners. It's not too late to get close, so how can he harm you?"

Shi Shu and Hu Xi secretly exclaimed that Yang Ji was suppressed without even realizing it, which made his plan to use Ashina Duji and Zhan Zhan to suppress Yang Ji completely in vain. What followed was a little... It’s not easy.

He looked at Yang Ji's smiling face as bright as the sun, and the importance he attached to Yang Ji in his heart rose again.

Song Zhengben, Ling Jing, Wei Zheng and others looked at the quarrel between Yang Ji and Shi Shuhu Xi with smiles, and secretly admired in their hearts: The king is so powerful, he seems to be born to be a king, no matter in the military , statecraft, or the intrigues and intrigues in the officialdom, we have always used the easiest way to defeat the enemy.

There is nothing better than simplicity.

"Sit down!" Yang Ji said to Shi Shuhu Xi calmly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shi Shuhu responded, and took out a flat jade box from his arms, handed it to Wei Zheng who was standing by, and then saluted Yang Ji and said, "This trip is in a hurry, and I didn't know that Your Majesty was in advance. The great event is approaching, and I am really ashamed that I have not prepared a generous gift. The pendant in the box is a treasure passed down from generation to generation by my family. It is polished with high-quality corundum and is given to the king as a congratulatory gift!"

"It's a small thought, please accept it with your Majesty's approval."

"Bring it up and take a look!" Regarding bribe-like gifts, Yang Ji's principle is to accept the things and leave them alone. As for gifts from foreigners, after accepting them, they can then take advantage of the other party to relax their guard and backhand them.

To put it simply, the sugar coating is taken away and the cannonball is fired back.
