Pei Yan stood straight on the spot just like that, his handsome face didn't show any expression, but his slender fingers were slightly clenched, and his eyes were cold.
Not only does she smile to herself like this, she also smiles so happily to the man next to her.
What is the relationship between her and this Ashnaqi? It would be too weird if they were so familiar with the first acquaintance.
Many guesses flashed in Pei Yan's mind, but those sensible guesses were gradually covered by anger and uncomfortable emotions.
He wanted to kill Ashnaqi.
Then he locked Tao Ti up, let her stay by his side obediently, and didn't let her go out to attract bees and butterflies.
Although separated by a distance, Linglong couldn't help but feel shocked when she looked at the expressionless face of the prince.
Seeing that the crown prince was still chatting with Prince Rong Di, Linglong couldn't take care of that much, thinking that she could save a little bit, and then bit her scalp and walked into the pavilion.
She whispered, "Princess, it's almost noon, we should go back too."
Tao Ti was stunned, and the probe glanced at the shining sun, "Yes, time flies so fast, one morning has passed."
Qiong Qi glanced at Linglong thoughtfully.
Tao Ti asked Linglong to go down first, and seized the opportunity to say to Qiong Qi, "Unfortunately, it is not convenient for you to go back with me, otherwise we will eat and talk. Alas, your identity is too inconvenient..."
Qiong Qi shrugged her shoulders, helplessly spread her hands, "Is there any way? Prince Rong Di, a member of the royal family who has recently passed away, fits best. I want to vote for a princess. ."
Tao Ti originally wanted to ask, "Why are you so obsessed with the status of a member of the royal family", but after thinking about it, coming to the ancient times with strict classes, naturally the higher the status, the better, but you can understand it.
"Okay, from another angle, it's not very convenient for you to meet with me, but it's very convenient to live in ancient times. At least you can go out at will, and you don't need to wear a drapery to cover it. You want to go where you want to go."
Tao Ti got up and said relaxedly, "Anyway, you have to stay here for ten days. We can always find a chance to meet again."
Qiong Qi also stood up and said, "Well, you go back first, I also want to go back and prepare. In the afternoon, I plan to visit Chang'an City and feel the prosperity of the ancient metropolis."
The two said goodbye, and they separated.
Linglong secretly looked behind the rockery, and the slender figure had left at some point.
But it was so silent, but Linglong's heart was even more disturbed.
"Linglong, what are you looking at?" Tao Ti asked casually.
"Ah, no, the slave and maidservant didn't look at anything." Linglong returned to her senses and bowed her head.
"Hey, it's okay. Let's go, let's shake some golden osmanthus. Take advantage of the sun's strength these two days, let's dry some sweet-scented osmanthus."
A basket of sweet-scented osmanthus was filled up soon, Tao Ti happily returned to the Yaoguang Hall to reunite with her old friends, which made her feel very good, even walking humming a little song.
While drying the sweet-scented osmanthus in the Yaoguang Hall, Linglong couldn't help asking, "Prince Princess, do you know this Prince Rong Di... before?"
Tao Ti's humming little tune came to an abrupt end.
Oops, just confessing to Qiong Qi, forgetting this is a bit difficult to explain.
And Linglong is Pei Yan's person, if Linglong reports this to Pei Yan, Pei Yan should be suspicious.
After thinking for a long time, Tao Ti bit the bullet and replied, "I didn't know each other before, and I felt strange that she wrote. But after meeting and chatting, I thought it was quite interesting, right to make a new friend?"
Well, she knows that this answer is a bit far-fetched, but forgive her for not knowing what to say for a while, she can only say "just as it happened".
Qiong Qi said, in any case, their identities should not be exposed, otherwise the consequences would be unthinkable.
Tao Ti also knew this. In the ancient times of feudal superstition, crossing, sacred beasts and the like would definitely be burned to death by people as aliens. Besides, this was still in the royal family, which was even more taboo.
Hearing her answer, Linglong, "..."
There is something unspeakable wrong.
At dusk, Pei Yan came.
Tao Ti stroked the soft and white hair of Yuan Bao, raised his eyes to see Pei Yan coming, and smiled, "His Royal Highness, look, is Yuan Bao fatter again?"
She was sitting on the rocking chair, Pei Yan was very tall, and looked down at her with her crooked smiling eyes, her dark eyes calm.
Today, she also smiled at Ashinaqi like this.
This recognition makes Pei Yan very unhappy.
Tao Ti did not get his response for a long time, was stunned, looked at him with doubts, saw him with a stretched face, frowned, "Your Highness?"
Pei Yan's eyes moved slightly, pretending to be in a daze, and he lowered his eyes and said, "Sorry, I was thinking about business just now, but I didn't pay attention to it for a while."
He returned to his usual calm and calm expression, Tao Ti said with concern, "I am busy with official duties, but your body is more important."
She put the ingot on the ground, stood up, patted her dress, and said softly, "Go, you go to the house and rest, I will let you make a cup of honey tea with wolfberry to refresh your mind."
Pei Yan curled his lips, "Okay."
The two entered the hall together, as usual, very calm.
But Linglong looked at her but she didn't dare to show her air. Sometimes, silence was more terrifying than quarrel.
Because Tao Ti was still in her menstrual period, the meals for these few days were provided by the Donggong Dining Room.
This evening, the dining room made a boiled shrimp.
Pei Yan peeled the shrimp slowly, his fingers were slender, and he peeled the shrimp with an extremely elegant feeling.
He peeled a plate of shrimp meat and handed it to Tao Ti, motioning her to eat.
Tao Ti was enjoying the thoughtfulness of her husband, taking a bite of delicious shrimp, and feeling that her life was complete.
Pei Yan washed his hands and asked unconsciously, "What did Ati do today?"
Tao Ti stopped eating shrimp, thought for a while, and said casually, "Today the weather is good, I went to the Yuhuan for a walk, and picked a basket of sweet-scented osmanthus back. By the way, after a few days, I will use sweet-scented osmanthus. How about making a table of dishes and calling Qinghe and Xiaowu Xiaoliu for a sweet-scented osmanthus feast?"
Her porcelain white face was full of interest.
With a lazy smile in his eyebrows, Pei Yan looked at her quietly, "Okay, you can arrange it."
Tao Ti continued on the topic of the sweet-scented osmanthus feast, and talked about a lot of dishes made with sweet-scented osmanthus, without noticing the undercurrent surging in Pei Yan's black eyes.
Until the end of a meal, Pei Yan didn't wait for Tao Ti to mention Ashinaqi.
Is she deliberately avoiding it.
If she is magnanimous, she would have mentioned it long ago according to her usual temperament that she would share with him bit by bit.
Pei Yan raised his hand and pinched the center of his eyebrows, his slender eyelashes drooped, and there was a dull pain in his chest inexplicably.
It was late at night, and the two were lying on the couch.
Tao Ti quickly became sleepy, and when she slept in a daze, she felt a powerful arm drag her over.
She was firmly imprisoned in a hard embrace, and the hot palms pressed against her waist, as if to melt her.
Tao Ti was confused and grumbled, "Hot..."
Pei Yan leaned sideways, staring at her white and tender cheeks, her eyes dark.
Hit it off? He doesn't believe it.
But if it wasn't for the first time, how did she know Prince Rong Di?
As far as he knows, this is the first time Ashinaqi has come to the Central Plains, and Tao Ti, the daughter of Yongweihoufu, has never left Chang'an in 16 years.
The speculation that had been hidden in my heart for a long time was turned out again, who is she? Is it really Tao Ti?
Or the meticulous work sent by Rong Di, or some other identity.
In the dim light, Pei Yan did not conceal the coldness and the dark bird in his eyes.
Although he could not find a clue to explain his doubts, he was able to get rid of Ashnaqi.
Kill him once and for all.
Regardless of his previous entanglements with Tao Ti, a dead person can no longer pose any threat.
As for Tao Ti...
Pei Yan constricted his eyes, and gently rubbed the back of her neck with his distinct knuckles, and when he saw her frowning because of discomfort, he twitched the corners of his mouth——
Ati, if loneliness locks you up, would you hate loneliness?
But you are not obedient, and there is no other better way...
He buried his face deep into her neck, sniffing her warm fragrance obsessively, and whispered, "Be good..."
Perhaps after hearing his voice, Tao Ti chuckled lazily, half-opening her sleepy eyes, "Your Highness? What's wrong with you."
Her voice was a bit dull and delicate when she woke up, like a feather flying through her heart.
Pei Yan didn't speak, only pinched her chin and kissed her lips.
Tao Ti's consciousness was awakened by this very aggressive kiss. Her hand was placed between the bodies of the two of them, and her overwhelmed posture made her very passive.
"Um... the hall..."
He squeezed her hand hard and kissed fiercely, with a hint of punishment.
When the long kiss was over, he held her tightly in his arms, breathing fast, like a gasping lion.
Tao Ti was dumbfounded by the kiss, and his mind was full of: Who am I, where I am, and what happened.
When her consciousness turned back, she felt Pei Yan's blazing heat, subconsciously tightened her body, and whispered, "I, mine haven't left yet..."
Pei Yan's sanity also returned, and her thin lips came to her ears, "It's okay, I just want to kiss you all of a sudden."
Tao Ti, "..."
You woke me up, hello!
Forget it, it depends on your good looks.
Pei Yan gently stroked her back, his tone was always gentle, "Go to sleep."
Tao Ti was very sleepy, only when he suddenly became sexually interested, and didn't think too much, rubbed his little head in his arms, found a suitable angle, and fell asleep in peace.
Her intimate snuggle reduced the hostility in Pei Yan's eyes by more than half.
She has him in her heart.
He said to himself: Give her another chance.
