When Pei Heng received the news, it was already Haishi.
He had just come out of the palace. Fusong was waiting at the entrance of the palace: "Master Governor, Fubai has sent a message, saying that he is asking you..."
"I'm a little tired. Let's talk about it when we get back." Pei Heng was mentally and physically exhausted.
Zhang Hedi was suspicious, and Pei Heng had already discovered it when he was the prince.
Now that he has become emperor, his suspicions are getting worse and worse, and he is becoming more and more wary of loyal officials in the court.
Pei Heng rubbed his swollen temples.
Whose turn will it be next to be exterminated?
The carriage was driving back to the Governor's Mansion. Pei Heng took a nap and felt a little hungry after getting off the carriage. "Let Peng Fu prepare something to eat."
"Master Governor, Peng Fu has left the Governor's Mansion."
Pei Heng was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
Peng Fu had already asked him to rush back to Xu Mansion.
"Yes, he left too." Pei Heng murmured. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather started to get a little cold at night. Pei Heng felt a little cold: "Is there any more Lihua Zui? Bring two pots."
Fu Song: "Master Governor, I finished drinking Lihua Zui yesterday."
Is Lihua Zui gone?
Pei Heng: "..." There is nothing to eat or drink. I am already very tired from following Zhang Hedi. "So, I have neither food nor drink, right? I'm hungry." Now, are you going to let me wait hungry until tomorrow morning?"
"Lord Governor, Fu Bai has news..."
"Let me ask you, do you plan to let me wait hungry until tomorrow morning?" Pei Heng interrupted Fusong.
Fu Song: "Master Governor, Fu Bai has news..."
"Didn't you say that I would go to the kitchen to prepare the food and wine?" Pei Heng became a little angry.
"Master Governor, Miss Xu has opened a restaurant, and I want you to go there tonight to support her." Fusong spoke very fast, as if he was in a hurry after running out of mouth.
Pei Heng is no longer angry.
Lihua Tower.
After sending Xu Qian away, several of his father's business partners asked Xu Wanning to leave a table for each of them tomorrow and bring guests for dinner tomorrow.
Her father brought seven guests, which meant that there would be only one empty table left in the lobby tomorrow.
There will be many guests tomorrow.
It's getting late now, everything that should be eaten has been eaten, and there will be no more guests.
"Miss, let's go back, there won't be any guests." Hongmei brought a cloak to Xu Wanning, "Miss, it's getting cold, let's go back and rest."
Xu Wanning rested her chin on her hands and looked at the quiet street outside: "Wait a little longer."
Seems to be waiting for someone.
Hongmei's thoughts moved, and she thought of a person in her mind.
Could the lady be waiting for this person?
After a long time, all the dishwashers in the back finished their work and went home. Only then did Xu Wanning stand up and said, "Let's go back."
Peng Fu: "Miss, walk slowly."
Several people were starting to leave when two people suddenly walked outside.
The leader was dressed in purple and had a graceful demeanor. He had a smile that even two people couldn't hide.
"Anything else to eat?"
Xu Wanning had a smile on her face: "What do you want to eat?"
"fish."
"have."
Hongmei looked at the person coming and sighed silently. Her guess was indeed right. The person the lady was waiting for was indeed him!
Xu Wanning closed the door and went to the kitchen, with Peng Fu quickly following behind.
In just one cup of tea, fish head stewed with tofu and pickled fish fillets were already on the table.
Pei Heng didn't move his chopsticks first, but looked at the food and then at Peng Fu: "Did you cook it?"
Peng Fu waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I just killed and filleted the fish. The rest was done by the lady."
Pei Heng picked up the chopsticks and took a bite.
Sure enough, the taste is exactly the same as what I had in Yancheng.
Xu Wanning brought two pots of Lihua Zui: "How about one pot per person?"
"good."
The two people sat across from each other without speaking. One was enjoying eating and drinking, the other was enjoying drinking, and the others all yawned as they watched.
Xu Wanning raised the wine bottle in front of her: "Pei Heng, this is a belated birthday gift. I wish you a happy birthday."
"I like it very much. Thank you." Pei Heng also raised the wine bottle with a smile in his eyes: "This is the best birthday gift I have ever received."
He received a happy birthday and a table of dishes that he had longed for.
This twenty-fourth birthday is not bad.
"If you are hungry in the future, come here and let someone know in advance. No matter how late it is, there will be someone waiting for you here."
Xu Wanning took a sip and felt a little strange.
This was not Lihua drunkenness, but it was too late, her head was starting to feel dizzy.
"Are you here every day?"
"They should all be here, maybe not, but Peng Fu will be there every day. Is there no one around when you come?" His head is getting dizzy.
"Okay." The smile in Pei Heng's eyes grew bigger and bigger. Today's wine tasted so good that he was almost drunk.
After dinner, Xu Wanning took Pei Heng to the second floor.
"If you don't want to go to the lobby in the future, you can go to the back alley. It's a foot high here."
Pei Heng looked over and said, "It's not high."
"Can you come up?" Xu Wanning didn't believe it.
Pei Heng said nothing, and suddenly put his hand around Xu Wanning's waist: "Close your eyes."
Before Xu Wanning could close her eyes, her body felt light and weightless. Before Xu Wanning could scream, her feet were firmly on the ground.
"Let's go up now." Pei Heng put his arm around Xu Wanning's waist again and flew forward. Without any effort, the two of them were already standing by the window sill on the second floor.
"I didn't lie, did I?"
The moon tonight is rounder than last night, rounder and brighter.
Pei Heng still put his hand on Xu Wanning's waist, and the two of them leaned on the railing to admire the moon, as if to make up for the gap of not watching the moon together yesterday.
The bright moon in the sky seemed to be shining with thousands of rays of light, shining on the two of them, as bright as day.
"Xu Wanning..."
"Huh?" Xu Wanning felt a little dizzy, as if she was drunk.
"Thank you, this is the best birthday gift I have ever received."
"My birthday is the tenth day of October. Remember, I also want a birthday gift." Xu Wanning chuckled and pulled Pei Heng's sleeve, like a child begging for candy.
"what would you like?"
Hongmei, who was clearing the table, picked up the leftover pear blossom drunk by Xu Wanning and smelled it, "Why is this wine so weird?"
"What's wrong?" Qingxing came over and asked.
"This is not Li Hua Zui, this is strong liquor. Who put the strong liquor in Li Hua Zui's bottle? Peng Fu, was it you?"
Peng Fu touched his head, with a nervous look on his face: "I, I might have been too busy at the time and looked at the wrong wine pot, but it was just this one."
I also bought a few jars of spirits in the wine cellar. Maybe when I was filling the wine, I mixed the wine in the wrong jug and gave it to Xu Wanning.
Hongmei: "..." Miss, you are so lucky. The wrong pot was put in it and you drank it.
Xu Wanning, who was very lucky, pulled Pei Heng and asked for the moon in the sky to go home as a lantern.
"I want this as a birthday gift. Look at it, it's big, round and bright. It will look bright in my room."
Pei Heng looked up at the moon in the sky: "..."
I have to get it off even though I know it's impossible!
When we returned to Xu Mansion, it was almost early morning.
Chen Wang was still waiting in the yard. When he saw someone coming back, he immediately greeted him: "Why did it take so long?"
"The young lady is drunk and is asking Mr. Pei for the moon in the sky." Qing Xing yawned: "No matter how hard I try, I can't persuade her to come back."
"Then how did the young lady come back later?" Chen Wang asked.
The red plum looks at the green apricot, the green apricot looks at the fubai, and the fubai looks at the moon in the sky...
No one dared to say that it was Pei Heng who held the person in his arms and coaxed him all the way back.
When she walked to the door, she still held on to Pei Heng and told her to take her to fly to the moon.
Red plum, green apricot: "..."
Fortunately, it was late at night and there was no one around. Otherwise, seeing my young lady drunk and embarrassed, I would be really embarrassed to see others.
