"Friends?"
When Pei Wenxuan heard Li Rong's words, he felt that it was inconceivable and repeated it.
Then he asked again, "There are friends like you and me?"
Li Rong didn't expect him to ask so directly and felt a bit awkward. She stood up and waved her hand, "Forget it, I'm just saying it casually. Don't take it to heart. You go back and rest first. I still have a booklet to read, so I'll go back later. "
With that, Li Rong sat down in front of the table. Pei Wenxuan's back was facing her and he still maintained his original position. He didn't speak, as if he was trying hard to control his emotions. Li Rong also forced herself not to think too much. She opened the booklet and her eyes fell on the words on the booklet. She was annoyed at herself for being impulsive.
There were many things that could be resolved if you didn't say it and I didn't say it. Why did she have to say it out loud?
Li Rong looked down at the booklet and didn't dare to look around. After a long time, she heard Pei Wenxuan stand up. Pei Wenxuan's back was facing her. After a while, he suddenly said, "Your Highness, we won't be friends."
Li Rong looked up at Pei Wenxuan and saw Pei Wenxuan turn around and look at Li Rong. He calmly said, "Your Highness has a request, and I also have a request. Your Highness wants this humble official to be considerate and care, this humble official can give it to you. However, this humble official doesn't want the word 'friend' that Your Highness mentioned. "
With that, Pei Wenxuan walked in front of Li Rong. Li Rong looked up at the young man standing in front of her with an expression that couldn't tell whether he was sad or happy. He was wearing a plain robe that he wore at home and his hair was half tied up with a jade hairpin. His body was thin, his shoulders were wide, and his neck was long. His usually gentle eyebrows had lost their smile and he looked a bit more like an immortal.
They looked at each other for a moment. Pei Wenxuan reached out his hand and without hesitation, he directly flipped the booklet on Li Rong's table!
The booklets scattered on the floor. Li Rong looked at Pei Wenxuan in shock. Pei Wenxuan was expressionless, "This humble official won't pick up the booklets for my friends. Your Highness can pick them up yourself."
With that, Pei Wenxuan turned around and elegantly and calmly walked away. After he left, Li Rong still hadn't recovered.. Jing was a servant and he respectfully said's room......... How......
......... this was done.... by.... Prince. Consort... this..... this was done done..
. Jing Lan hurriedly came forward and checked on Li Rong. "Your Highness, Prince Consort. He did something to you. Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Li Rong heard Jing Lan's question and finally recovered. She looked at the booklets on the floor and realized what Pei Wenxuan had done. She frowned, "Do you think I'm too good to him?"
Jing Lan froze. Li Rong suddenly became angry. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, "Send my order. Tell Prince Consort to copy the palace rules that he learned before he got married. In the future, he must follow the rules and bow to me!"
"Your Highness..." Jing Lan hesitated, "Isn't this too hurtful?"
"Hurtful? What feelings do I have for him? Let him copy! "
Li Rong said and pointed at the booklets on the floor, "Put away the booklets."
Jing Lan knelt to the side and put away the booklets. She advised, "Your Highness, Prince Consort has always been busy. It's not early anymore. If you want him to copy the palace rules, who knows when he'll finish."
"Copy!"
Li Rong gritted her teeth, "If I don't set rules for him, he'll simply be lawless!"
Jing Lan saw that she couldn't persuade her. She hesitated for a moment and could only say, "As long as Your Highness doesn't feel bad."
"I feel bad?" Li Rong sneered, "What a joke!"
Jing Lan looked at her helplessly and put away the booklets. She respectfully said, "This servant will pass on the message."
With that, Jing Lan left. She asked Jing Mei to prepare a bowl of calming soup for Li Rong. Then, she went to Pei Wenxuan's study.
She asked Dong Ye to announce her arrival. After entering, she bowed. Then, she heard Pei Wenxuan reading the booklets and saying, "Tell me, how does the Princess want me to be punished?"
Jing Lan was a little embarrassed for a moment, but she could only tell the truth, "Her Highness wants Prince Consort to copy the palace rules that were given to him before the marriage. In the future, he will have to bow to Her Highness according to the rules."
"Is there anything else?"
Pei Wenxuan asked calmly. Jing Lan hesitated for a moment and slowly said, "Prince Consort, this servant should say something that shouldn't be said. The Princess is only angry now. If Prince Consort really copies it, I'm afraid the Princess will only be angrier. Prince Consort, why don't you go back now and say a few good words to Her Highness? Her Highness is soft-hearted."
"You may leave."
Pei Wenxuan calmly said, "The Princess is right. I should copy it."
"Prince Consort, you still have so many things to do …" Jing Lan still wanted to salvage the situation. Then, she heard Pei Wenxuan say, "It's fine."
With that, Pei Wenxuan took the palace rules from the side and flipped open the one that was specially written for the Prince Consort. Then, he took a piece of paper and laid it on the side. His left hand took a pen, his right hand read the booklets, and his left hand copied the palace rules.
Jing Lan was stunned for a moment. Then, she heard Pei Wenxuan say, "You may leave."
Jing Lan: "…"
Seeing that Pei Wenxuan was copying the booklets with one hand and reading the booklets with the other, Jing Lan couldn't persuade him anymore and could only leave.
When she returned, Li Rong was drinking calming soup while reading the booklets. When she heard Jing Lan return, she didn't raise her head and said, "Did you order Prince Consort to copy the palace rules?"
Jing Lan was in a difficult position, "I did."
"Does he know his mistake?"
"Prince Consort said that he should copy the palace rules more. He completely understands Your Highness's painstaking efforts."
Li Rong paused. She looked up at Jing Lan, who was lying through his teeth. After hesitating for a moment, she frowned and said, "Does he have a lot of free time?"
Now that he had just returned, he was probably very busy. Copying the palace rules, he would either not do it or come over and quarrel with her again. But he actually copied it just like that?
Jing Lan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She only said, "Prince Consort wrote with his left hand and read the booklets with his right hand. He didn't delay."
Li Rong: "…"
For a moment, she actually admired Pei Wenxuan a little.
Li Rong thought about it. Since it didn't delay the official business, she didn't bother with Pei Wenxuan and lowered her head to do her own things.
The two were busy until the middle of the night. Li Rong finished the last thing on hand and finally got up to go back.
She was so busy that she was a little confused. She had almost forgotten about the quarrel with Pei Wenxuan just now. Yawning, she went back to her room. As soon as she pushed the door open, she saw Pei Wenxuan wearing a single shirt that had been washed clean. He was kneeling in front of the door with his back straight. When Li Rong came in, he raised his hand to his forehead and kowtowed in greeting, "This subject respectfully welcomes Your Highness."
Li Rong was startled by him. Then she remembered that this was indeed the formal greeting that a prince consort should give to a princess.
However, ever since they got married, she had never made things difficult for Pei Wenxuan. Today, she suddenly made Pei Wenxuan act according to etiquette. She was startled.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly. After lightly coughing, she entered the room and said, "You may rise."
After Pei Wenxuan knelt in thanks, he bowed and got up. After that, he waited by Li Rong's side.
Li Rong washed her face and rinsed her mouth as she tried to find a conversation. She asked somewhat awkwardly, "Have you finished copying the palace rules?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, I have finished copying."
"I heard that you can write with your left hand." Li Rong laughed, trying to ease the atmosphere, "I didn't know before."
Pei Wenxuan replied expressionlessly, "Your Highness has never punished me to copy the palace rules before."
Li Rong, "… …"
Li Rong was angry that he didn't give her a way out twice. She didn't say anything else. After washing her face, she went straight to bed.
The window had already been covered and warmed. It was a bit warm. She didn't know if it was done by a heater or by someone.
Li Rong was too lazy to pay attention to this. She closed her eyes and went to sleep. After Li Rong lay down, Pei Wenxuan turned off the lights. He went to the side of the bed, covered himself with the quilt, and closed his eyes to sleep.
Li Rong closed her eyes and slept for a while. She couldn't fall asleep, but when she opened her mouth, she got angry again.
She didn't say anything wrong. He was the one who said he wanted to be friends. Now, he was the one who had bad intentions. She had already given him a way out, but he still wanted to put on airs. Did he think she was easy to bully?
How could she not know what he was thinking? They had been at peace for so long, but he suddenly wanted to make a move on her. It was only because he was agitated by the incident with Su Yongqing that he was afraid she would lose her position.
He had feelings for her, but there were also some disputes of interest. Naturally, he was willing.
But what was wrong with her not being willing?
The more Li Rong thought about it, the angrier she became. She wanted to say something, but she swallowed it back.
It was at this moment that the person behind her seemed to inadvertently reach out and pull her into his arms, letting Li Rong lean against his chest.
He didn't say anything and just quietly hugged Li Rong.
Li Rong didn't know why, but leaning against this person, she suddenly felt sour and wronged.
"Pei …"
"Sleep. Don't be friends. Don't keep trying to find things to talk to me."
Pei Wenxuan closed his eyes and decisively threw out these three sentences. Li Rong was so angry that she felt dizzy. She reached out to push Pei Wenxuan away, but Pei Wenxuan simply used both hands. He didn't even open his eyes and held her tightly in his arms.
Li Rong struggled for a while. Although this person was a scholar, he was very strong. Li Rong struggled for a long time without any movement. Then she heard Pei Wenxuan leisurely say: "There is a spare sword inside. Either you stab me to death, or you sleep."
Li Rong was originally tired and wanted to rest, but when she heard this, she was so angry that her vision turned black.
She realized that Pei Wenxuan was really capable. Every time she was about to call a truce, he would say something that would infuriate her. However, she was indeed tired. Thinking of the morning court tomorrow, she only said, "Fine, you have the ability. Just you wait."
Pei Wenxuan didn't say anything. Li Rong was wrapped around by him like a vine. After a while, Li Rong fell asleep.
Pei Wenxuan raised the corners of his mouth in the dark night. He buried his head in her shoulder and chuckled.
The two slept until dawn. As usual, Li Rong was awakened by Pei Wenxuan helping her put on her clothes. She opened her eyes with difficulty and saw Pei Wenxuan sitting by the bed helping her put on her clothes. She was at a loss for a moment. Then she immediately remembered what happened last night and shouted: "How dare you not bow to me!"
She wanted to torment Pei Wenxuan. According to the rules, Pei Wenxuan had to kneel by the bed in the morning and bow to her to wake her up.
Pei Wenxuan heard her words and lightly said: "I just did it. Your Highness is asleep. If it's not enough, this official will do it again."
"I didn't see it. I didn't bow."
Li Rong immediately replied. Pei Wenxuan looked up at her. She couldn't tell if he was happy or angry, but there was a faint smile in his eyes.
He nodded: "Okay."
After saying that, he let go of her hand and got up. Li Rong was halfway through putting on her clothes and suddenly felt a little cold. She wrapped the quilt tightly around her and sat cross-legged on the bed with the quilt wrapped around her. She watched Pei Wenxuan kowtow to her.
When she was angry, seeing Pei Wenxuan unhappy was an extremely happy thing. When Li Rong saw Pei Wenxuan bow to her, her mood immediately improved. Pei Wenxuan heard her happy words and straightened up. Then he saw Li Rong sitting on the bed with a head of messy hair wrapped in the quilt. She looked quite pleased with herself.
It was rare to see Li Rong like this. Pei Wenxuan couldn't help but laugh. For a moment, he couldn't get angry with her. Li Rong heard his laughter and turned her head. She raised her eyebrows and said: "What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing, I just think that Your Highness is very cute."
As Pei Wenxuan spoke, he returned to the bed and helped Li Rong put on her clothes.
Li Rong didn't dare to mention what happened last night. She let him help her get dressed. After washing up, she walked out.
The winter cold shrouded Huajing. As soon as Li Rong went out, the cold wind came head-on. Fortunately, Pei Wenxuan blocked in front of her in advance, so it wasn't that cold.
"This humble subject blocked the wind for Your Highness."
Pei Wenxuan walked in front and respectfully explained to Li Rong. Li Rong nodded and allowed Pei Wenxuan to walk in front of her.
Li Rong went out and saw Xun Chuan waiting by the side of the carriage. Xun Chuan escorted her to the carriage. Before Li Rong entered the carriage, she suddenly thought of something. She turned her head and said: "Xun Chuan."
Xun Chuan looked back in confusion and saw Li Rong smiling at her: "I thought about your question yesterday and have an answer."
"There is no natural justice in this world. Justice needs to be protected. It's a pity to suffer injustice, but isn't it what you and I should do to change the current situation? "
When Xun Chuan heard this, she looked up at Li Rong standing in the carriage and smiled lightly: "Then, does Your Highness want to change the situation?"
"If I have the ability," Li Rong gently tilted her head, her phoenix eyes showing a bit of arrogance, and smiled lightly: "Why not?"
"This world belongs to the young, and it belongs to the strong. If Official Xun is dissatisfied, then you can be the one to set the rules. Wouldn't that be fine? "
"Your Highness is right." Xun Chuan smiled. She looked up at Li Rong, her eyes shining.
Li Rong rolled up the curtain and entered the carriage. She saw Pei Wenxuan looking down at a booklet. Li Rong sat beside him and hesitated for a moment before saying: "Um, I still have to thank you for last night."
"No need." Pei Wenxuan looked up and smiled faintly: "I said something wrong last night. If possible, Your Highness, please forget those words."
"I don't treat my friends that well. Your Highness, you remember my words of comfort. I feel that I suffered a loss."
Li Rong: "…"
She felt that her understanding of Pei Wenxuan was still too shallow.
Not only was he narrow-minded, but he was also narrow-minded.
Back then, the petty-minded King of Hell Pei lived up to his reputation.
