Shen Wanqing said lightly, "Since you like this house, you can stay here."
Then she went to the room next door by herself.
Unexpectedly, Pei Yu followed her again.
Pei Yu gritted his teeth, watching Shen Wanqing’s back.
"Shen Wanqing, is it because Baili Kong is back that your mind is wandering and you’re unwilling to deal with anymore?"
Shen Wanqing sighed, "Even if he hadn’t co, I would still be like this. It’s not who has changed, it’s you, Pei Yu."
Pei Yu didn’t speak anymore. In fact, his heart had never changed. From the mont he confird his love for Shen Wanqing, until now, he had always loved her.
But after brushing with death, he also understood.
There’s no need to sulk with Shen Wanqing anymore, and no need to prove anything to her either.
As long as Shen Wanqing could be by his side, everything would be fine.
However, it seed he understood too late.
Pei Yu looked at Shen Wanqing and grabbed her hand.
"Shen Wanqing, let’s sleep."
Shen Wanqing almost got burned by the heat of Pei Yu’s palm, but she just lowered her eyebrows and shook her head.
Actually, every ti, Shen Wanqing resisted.
But in the end, it always turned into half-hearted compliance.
Pei Yu was most familiar with her body and knew how to make her submit.
After it was all over, Shen Wanqing opened her eyes and looked at the mosquito net, while Pei Yu embraced her with a satisfied face.
"Wanqing, stop acting up, wouldn’t it be good for us to live our lives like this?"
Shen Wanqing pressed her lips together and sighed, "Isn’t living like this exactly what we are doing? We’ve lived for half a lifeti already, there’s no need to be entangled about how to live anymore."
Shen Wanqing moved her body slightly, and Pei Yu inhaled sharply, so Shen Wanqing dared not move again.
Pei Yu leaned into Shen Wanqing’s ear.
"Wanqing, once more..."
Pei Yu also felt that he was enchanted, having been with Shen Wanqing for so many years.
Yet every ti facing Shen Wanqing, he still felt like a young boy, unable to withstand even a bit of provocation.
But with Xiang Hui and Aunt Zhao, it was more like sothing to be dealt with perfunctorily.
Each ti he was with those two, it was actually because he got angry with Shen Wanqing, drank, and was not in his right mind.
The next morning, when Shen Wanqing got up, she felt an itch on her back.
When she turned around, she saw Pei Yu kissing her, one kiss after another.
She suppressed the annoyance in her heart and said blandly, "Pei Yu, you should go to the morning court."
Pei Yu said nothing and kissed her again.
While washing up, Shen Wanqing saw the red marks on her neck and fell silent for a mont.
Pei Yu had always been discreet, whether in matters of intimacy or anything else, even if he left marks, they would be in places that were not visible.
Leaving such conspicuous marks in plain sight like this, it was indeed the first ti.
The maid smilingly said, "Congratulations madam, your hardships have finally paid off."
This morning, she noticed that when Pei Yu left for the morning court, there was joy in his eyes.
Shen Wanqing gave a faint smile without much emotion and looked at the marks, feeling they were just glaring.
"Cover them up."
...
On the other hand, Pei Shu’er actually didn’t sleep well last night.
First, Tang Zan and Baili Kong discussed matters until the latter half of the night. During this ti, Pei Shu’er had gotten used to Tang Zan’s embrace, so she didn’t sleep restfully.
It was not until dawn that Tang Zan pushed open the door.
Pei Shu’er almost imdiately pushed open the door and looked at Tang Zan.
"How did it go?"
Tang Zan’s lips curled up, and he pressed a kiss on Pei Shu’er’s lips.
"Baili Kong didn’t agree to cooperate, but he didn’t dismiss it outright. And I also heard that they didn’t agree to cooperate with Yan Hengyin either."
For them, this was the best answer, after all, as long as the people of the Great Shang didn’t get involved, their balance wouldn’t be broken.
Tang Zan said softly, "Why haven’t you slept yet?"
Pei Shu’er’s cheeks flushed a little. Fortunately, the light was dim, so Tang Zan didn’t see it.
"Just not very sleepy."
The smile on Tang Zan’s lips took on a playful hint.
"Seems like you’re not tired enough."
Pei Shu’er was all too familiar with the aning of Tang Zan’s smile and she quickly waved her hand.
"No, I’m very sleepy, quickly co up and sleep together."
Tang Zan laughed as he climbed up, but also exhausted Pei Shu’er quite a bit before he fell into a deep sleep.
Before Pei Shu’er fell asleep, she saw the first light of dawn appear on the horizon.
Tang Zan really was like a beast.
Upon waking up, she saw Tang Zan still asleep and thought about how exhausted he must have been too, so she got up quietly.
As soon as she moved, Tang Zan wrapped an arm around her waist and muttered sothing.
Pei Shu’er paused her movents for a mont, then after a bit, managed to wriggle out of Tang Zan’s embrace a little.
She got out of bed with so difficulty, realizing it had been a while since she last cooked for herself, and breakfast at the Prince Zhan Mansion was always the sa few als, she was getting a bit tired of it.
After considering it, she went to the kitchen and started making soup dumplings.
After all, regular buns grew tiring, might as well change it up.
The chefs watched Pei Shu’er busying herself in the kitchen, putting chunks of jelly-like solidified pork broth into the buns.
The chefs didn’t know what this was about, even after the buns were out of the stear, they were still skeptical about the taste of these soup dumplings.
Pei Shu’er distributed the buns to several chefs and reminded them.
"Be careful, they’re hot."
The chefs waited until Pei Shu’er started eating before they took a bite.
Once they bit into the rich soup, the chefs’ eyes widened imdiately.
So, this is what soup dumplings taste like.
The flavor was rich and delicious, unbelievably good.
They were even tastier than the buns they made, with layers of flavor.
Everyone had just finished one, licking the corners of their mouths, their stomachs were full, but... their mouths still craved more, they wanted to eat more...
Pei Shu’er laughed, "Eat as much as you want, until you’re full."
The chefs stopped only when they were so stuffed they couldn’t eat another bite.
Pei Shu’er smiled, "If you like them, you can pack so to take ho for your families, but you have to save fifty."
These fifty were for Liu Xu, Shen Wanqing, and her younger siblings to eat.
The chefs were very happy. When they tasted such delicious soup dumplings, the first thing they thought of was their kids at ho.
But they understood their responsibilities and would not speak out of place.
Now that the Princess Consort had kindly offered, naturally, they were deeply grateful.
Pei Shu’er carried the soup dumplings to Shen Wanqing’s courtyard.
"Mother, I’ve been here several tis this morning, but you were still sleeping."
Shen Wanqing smiled as she pulled Pei Shu’er’s hand.
"What do you need for?"
Pei Shu’er said, "Yinxing, set up breakfast. I made these buns this morning; try them and see how they taste."
With a smile on her face, Shen Wanqing took a bite of the soup dumpling, surprise showing in her eyes.
"The food our Shu’er makes is always the best."
Pei Shu’er laughed, "If you like it, Mother, then eat more."
