The Grand Princess

Chapter 84: Tactics

Li Rong did not speak.

Listening to these words, she felt a kind of speechless softness, which gently embraced her.

Such gentleness made her difficult to understand, and she was particularly at ease. For a moment, she felt as if she was eighteen years old.

Only an eighteen-year-old self has the qualifications to release emotions without any cover, and to have human forgiveness and comfort.

She lowered her head, slowed down for a long time, and finally raised her head, a little embarrassed: "I made you laugh."

"How come?" Pei Wenxuan laughed, "I am happy to see His Royal Highness in embarrassment."

When Li Rong heard this, she stared at him with still red eyes: "If you don't get scolded for a day, you will be itchy, right?"

"His Royal Highness," Pei Wenxuan puts his hands in his sleeves, "Today you can't help me. Should you show something? Do you know how expensive the flowers you blow up today?"

"How expensive is not my money? You are afraid that you have forgotten where your money came from." Li Rong sneered, "Spend money a day in something like this. It's fine if I don't trouble you. Yes, you dare to ask me to lose money?"

"His Royal Highness," Pei Wenxuan brushed his sleeves, and said proudly, "You are afraid that you have forgotten, but I am the one who inherited my father's property."

Li Rong was so stunned by Pei Wenxuan that only then did he remember that after the fight from Pei's house, Pei Wenxuan grabbed all the money his father had left behind.

Li Rong raised her eyebrows: "I underestimated you?"

Pei Wenxuan Jinya nodded: "His Royal Highness knows."

Li Rong was speechless for a while, waved her hand, and walked forward: "Forget it, unlike you, it's cold to death."

Having said that, Li Rong hurriedly walked to the room, and within two steps, he felt that the warm cloak with Pei Wenxuan was covered. Li Rong glanced at him, Pei Wenxuan was wearing a single shirt, walking down the corridor On, with a smile on his lips, he did not speak.

Li Rong quickly looked away and bowed his head forward.

She didn't know why, she didn't feel anything when she was speaking, and when she finished speaking, when Pei Wenxuan interrupted in this way, she felt a kind of unspeakable embarrassment coming up, making her whole face hot.

Pei Wenxuan looked at Li Rong from the corner of the light, and saw the thin red appearing on her face. He pressed his lips and smiled, and didn't add any oil and jealousy at this time.

The two entered the room, and Pei Wenxuan drove Li Rong into the room. When Li Rong thought of sleeping face to face with Pei Wenxuan at night, she felt a little nervous.

But she didn't want to push people out again when she finally said something good, she could only pretend that nothing had happened, and turned her back to Pei Wenxuan to clean her hands.

Pei Wenxuan watched that Li Rong was deliberately busy, but he didn't look back at him. He didn't enter the door. He put his hands in his sleeves and leaned against the door. He smiled and watched Li Rong work for a while. Rong heard nothing behind her, and finally turned back a little strangely, and saw the young man standing at the door. She couldn't help but say, "Why don't you come in?"

"Didn't Your Highness allow me to sleep in the study?"

Pei Wenxuan returned with confidence.

Li Rong was stunned. She didn’t know how, and the tension suddenly subsided a lot. At the same time, it rose up, worrying about whether Pei Wenxuan was still angry, but when the idea came up, she stopped again and felt herself It's awkward to care whether he is angry or not.

Suddenly her thoughts turned over and over, and Pei Wenxuan watched her eyes change, and finally listened to Li Rong and said, "Then what are you doing standing at the door?"

After speaking, Li Rong seemed to feel that the words were too blunt again, and said softly: "Get a rest early, and you will go to court tomorrow."

Hearing what she said, Pei Wenxuan laughed out loud immediately. He straightened up, bowed to Li Rong, and respectfully said: "Please follow the instructions of your Royal Highness, and the minister will leave first."

Li Rong replied stiffly, watching Pei Wenxuan turn around and leave.

She was standing quietly in the room, and she couldn't understand Pei Wenxuan's meaning for a while, and she just said it well, why should she sleep in the study room again.

She was thinking, and heard footsteps coming from outside. Then she saw Pei Wenxuan come back. He came to the door and smiled: "I almost forgot something."

"What..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw Pei Wenxuan approach her, bent over and kissed her gently, and said softly, "His Royal Highness, good night."

Then, before Li Rong could react, he straightened up, turned and walked out.

Li Rong stood there with no expression on her face. After a while, she raised her hand, wiped her face, and muttered, "Fancy and fancy."

After speaking, she finally really relaxed, took off Pei Wenxuan's coat and hung it aside, then walked to the bed and sat down gently.

Not long after she sat by the bed, she heard Jinglan come in, looked at Li Rong, and refrained from saying, "Your Majesty, the slave and maid heard that Ma Ma is going to sleep in the study today."

"Well," Li Rong said calmly, "give him an extra bed with a quilt."

"His Royal Highness," Jinglan said with difficulty, "Where does the husband and wife have overnight hatred..."

"We have no grudges, don't worry about it," Li Rong raised her eyelids and said calmly, "My husband and I are fun, don't bother us."

"Huh?" Jing Lan was surprised, Li Rong stood up, walked to the clean room, and instructed Jing Lan to say, "Wait a moment to give the horse a bowl of **** soup, so that he will not catch the cold, and then let people ask. Just now, how much money has been spent on the purchase of peony, and the money has been spent from the warehouse and sent to him."

Jinglan silently listened to Li Rong's words, and the more she heard, the more frightened she became, and she even had to pay back the money. What kind of taste is this? This is obviously a separation.

But she also understands Li Rong’s temperament. At this moment, she has to say more. Li Rong is afraid that she will be annoying, and she will not wait to see her with her, so Jinglan can only hold back her words without saying a word. Write down all orders.

But Pei Wenxuan walked to the study by himself, and when he entered the study door, he closed the door, thinking of Li Rong's last surprised expression, and laughed out of joy.

He also lay down on the small couch. After a while, he heard the voice of Tongye coming through from outside: "Master, bring the quilt."

Pei Wenxuan hurriedly sat up and said loudly, "Come in."

Tong Ye held the quilt and pushed the door to squeeze in. Pei Wenxuan stood up and looked at Tong Ye's quilt. While covering the quilt, Tong Ye couldn't help but said: "My son, how angry are you and your highness? You took the initiative to move. Come to sleep, your Highness is afraid that you will be mad at you."

"Hey, what do you know," Pei Wenxuan said disgustedly, "I call it retreat for advancement. I want to welcome or refuse. This is a tactic."

"I don't understand your tactics."

Tong Ye made the bed and muttered: "The minion knows that the small couch in the study is dead. If you really want to separate the bed, you might as well find a guest room and sleep in the study. Don't you toss yourself?"

"Go go," Pei Wenxuan saw Tong Ye set the bed almost the same, waved, "Can the study be the same as the guest room? Sleeping in the study room is for waiting for your highness to call me back. Sleeping in the guest room, do I have a reason to go back?"

"Then why don't you just stay?"

Tong Ye asked with confidence. Pei Wenxuan was speechless when he asked. After a while, he reacted and said, "I said, why are you getting bolder? Don't you want to do it?"

"I'm worrying about you," Tong Ye said earnestly, "My son, feelings can't stand the toss, since you put your Highness in your heart, you should be straightforward. I moved to the study room by myself, it was cold, hard and lonely, what's the picture?"

"Picture what?" Pei Wenxuan raised his eyebrows, "Of course it is Princess Tu. Stop talking," Pei Wenxuan walked over and waved, "Go down, I'm going to sleep."

Seeing that Pei Wenxuan didn't listen to him, Tong Ye sighed and turned to leave.

After Tong Ye left, Pei Wenxuan turned off the lights and lay down on the bed.

He lay on his back first, then rolled over after a while, thinking about what Li Rong was probably doing and thinking at the moment.

He could see that it was probably embarrassing for Li Rong to finish saying this to him today. She might need a long time to accept herself, so he retreated and gave Li Rong this period of time.

Also give yourself some time.

He never thought that Li Rong would say this to him, but when Li Rong said it, he clearly saw for the first time that it was such a deep wound left to Li Rong in the previous life.

He thought that time had made these wounds healed, but now he knew that there was no wound healed out of thin air, it was just hidden in a deeper corner, as if it had disappeared.

But it has always existed, then it will play a role in countless choices in life.

Li Rong was afraid of feelings.

She has been proud of her life, but she has no confidence in herself when it comes to feelings. Knowing that she is an inevitable loser, she will decisively withdraw and leave at the beginning of each time.

This is the deadlock between them, she can't recognize herself, and he is too weak.

So in the previous life, even if there was no Qin Zhenzhen or Su Rongqing, they would eventually end their relationship with other things.

He can't force her.

Pei Wenxuan thought quietly, Li Rong was like a cat who had just come to the world of love. She was afraid of everything. He could only let her explore, and could not move everything to her at once.

It's up to her, and it's up to her. Only if you have enough decision-making power, you will have enough security.

Li Rong wanted to wait, about that.

The distance between them should be determined by Li Rong, not him.

And Li Rong's willingness to take the first step and decide this distance is already a good start.

Pei Wenxuan pursed his lips in the night and couldn't help laughing.

The two went to sleep in a daze thinking about what happened that night, and when it was dawn, Li Rong vaguely heard someone calling her to get up. She subconsciously wanted to be called Pei Wenxuan, only to remember that Pei Wenxuan had gone to bed in the study.

She called out in a daze, and Jing Lan came in with the lamp in her hand. The dazzling light made Li Rong unable to adapt for a while, and then she was called out of bed.

In the past, Pei Wenxuan got up first, and would first cover her eyes with a veil, and then return to the window, blocking the light with a shadow, and a sudden bright light pierced her eyes. Then he would take the clothes under the quilt and help her wear them to make sure she wouldn't receive the slightest chill.

Now that he is not there, even if he is doing his best, he can't be so considerate.

But in one detail, Li Rong remembered Pei Wenxuan's goodness, she sighed lightly, turned her head and said, "Has the concubine get up?"

"The horse is already waiting in the dining room," Jingmei waited on Li Rong to dress, and smiled, "His Royal Highness wants to go over to have a meal?"

"Nature is going to pass."

Li Rong replied, got dressed, and went to the dining room.

Pei Wenxuan had changed his official uniform and sat watching the information that was just sent back. Li Rong entered the room, Pei Wenxuan looked up and smiled: "His Royal Highness, early."

"Morning." Li Rong laughed, focusing on the information that had just arrived, "Any special news today?"

"It's nothing," Pei Wenxuan put down the information in his hand and looked at Li Rong. "His Royal Highness slept well last night?"

"Very good," Li Rong said, sitting next to Pei Wenxuan, "How about you?"

"Not bad." As Pei Wenxuan said, Li Rong nodded and wanted to find a topic, but he didn't expect to hear Pei Wenxuan say, "For the assassination yesterday, your Royal Highness intends to participate in the court today, or intends to wait and see. a bit?"

"Let's wait and see again." Seeing Pei Wenxuan take the initiative to raise the matter, Li Rong responded, "Maybe we didn't participate, so the mastermind took the initiative to participate in him?"

"It's not impossible." Li Rong nodded and said slowly, "Let's watch the changes."

Pei Wenxuan responded and started talking to Li Rong about other business matters. Last night, Pei Wenxuan didn't mention a word, as if it had never happened.

Li Rong followed Pei Wenxuan's words to say business, but there was always a vague anxiety in her heart.

She felt she should say something, but she didn't know what to say.

After a meal, the two went to court together. Li Rong and Pei Wenxuan walked side by side on the promenade. On weekdays, Pei Wenxuan would find some reasons to pull her, but today Pei Wenxuan is very correct, as if with her It's just a relationship with colleagues, not the least charming, and only talks about the court affairs.

If Pei Wenxuan didn't pull her, Li Rong felt a little weird in her heart. She seemed to take this as a habit, but when Pei Wenxuan suddenly stopped doing it, she was a little unspeakable...not used to it.

She didn't show it on her face, but quietly approached Pei Wenxuan and walked side by side with Pei Wenxuan.

Pei Wenxuan felt Li Rong leaning over, her sleeves rubbing against him. As the two of them walked, her hand touched the back of his hand inadvertently. After such a brief interlacing, a bit of unspeakable itching appeared. Pei Wenxuan couldn't help but raised his head to look at her, and pretended not to know anything, and continued to speak serious business.

He didn't hide, but he didn't take the initiative. Even though Li Rong's clothes passed by, he only lowered his eyes and lowered his head, Li Rong said about the hall.

"According to your statement, if Xie Lanqing really instructed Lin Feibai to help the Chen family to assassinate you, would the Xie family still support the Prince in its current position?"

As Pei Wenxuan said, the two of them got to the side of the carriage. At this time, Pei Wenxuan finally stretched out his hand, and Li Rong supported Li Rong on the carriage.

Li Rong's hand was placed on the back of his hand, and the skins of the two finally overlapped in large areas. Pei Wenxuan's face was calm, only treating it as a polite gesture.

However, Li Rong slowly stroked Pei Wenxuan's back with his fingertips while they were overlapping their hands. She felt that her good gesture should be obvious enough, but Pei Wenxuan was still unmoved.

The two got into the carriage, and Pei Wenxuan gave Li Rong a further analysis: "Furthermore, with Xie Lanqing's mind, he was afraid that he would take the initiative to play the Chen family this morning. His Majesty waited for another day to participate. Will it be late? "

"Let's take a look first." Li Rong returned casually.

Anyway, Xie Lanqing is a grasshopper after autumn, and it won't last long. She is concerned about one thing now.

Obviously, he said so well last night, why did Pei Wenxuan turn back today?

What exactly does Pei Wenxuan mean? If you say you rejected her last night, you shouldn't come back and kiss her again.

If you promised her, why did you go to the study to sleep again, and still treat her so lovingly in the morning?

Li Rong thought left and right, what Pei Wenxuan said, her left ear went in and her right ear came out, anyway, it was a question she had already thought about last night, and she didn't want to repeat it.

She listened to Pei Wenxuan talking next to her, and looked at him from time to time.

Pei Wenxuan caught the look in her eyes, and knew in her heart, Li Rong really bit the hook when she let it go.

He didn't change his face and continued to talk nonsense about things up.

Li Rong thought about it all the way. When he got out of the carriage, Pei Wenxuan reached out and helped her down. Li Rong gave a light cough, and decided to show his okay more obviously: "Pei Wenxuan, that, the small couch in the study is very small. Sleep well?"

"Return your Highness," Pei Wenxuan smiled and echoed, "I have slept for a long time on the high bed with soft pillows, and the small couch has a special flavor."

Seeing that Pei Wenxuan hadn't accepted the move, Li Rong couldn't help but smile, and said softly: "It's so good to sleep, if you don't sleep in the study room for a lifetime."

"His Royal Highness is joking," Pei Wenxuan immediately said again, "Weichen always has to go back, after all, Weichen and His Highness," Pei Wenxuan looked up at her with a smile, "Well, it will be long in Japan."

Li Rong didn't speak, she stared at Pei Wenxuan's smiling face. After watching for a long time, she finally remembered.

This time the peony is really expensive.

She understood that Pei Wenxuan didn't want to part ways with her, she was afraid that she had agreed to her words, but was angry that the mountain of peony was destroyed, so she decided to find a place to vent her anger and take Joe with her.

Li Rong thought for a moment, tapped the palm of her hand with a small fan, and said empathetically, "I understand what you mean."

Pei Wenxuan was a little at a loss, Li Rong raised his eyes and said seriously: "I will pay you for the peony, but you should not be so arrogant in the future."

Pei Wenxuan: "..."

Obviously you know every word, how come you can't understand it when you put it together?
