After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.

It took a month for the news to come that the emperor had left Liangzhou. Because the specifications and route of the emperor's return trip needed to be finalized repeatedly, that's why it took so long.

The emperor's official travel records, vehicles, including guards and musicians, and even the officials accompanying him all needed to be carefully selected. This matter is related to the majesty of the royal family, so it is natural not to be careless.

For this reason, Emperor Wei also summoned him to Chang'an. Cui Shao was ordered to choose a reliable official and set off from Chang'an to Xianyang. Then escorted by the elite soldiers of Shence and Jinwu Guards, they took two jade chariots and golden chariots to Liangzhou to meet him.

After discussions between Cui Shao and Pei Jiaoran, they finally decided to let Yan Jifu, the Minister of Rites, go to Liangzhou to meet him. This senior official, who was already in his sixties, would rather go on a hunger strike than become a puppet official when faced with the temptation of the rebels. In addition to integrity, it is more about letting the world see loyalty. Fighting the rebels with loyalty makes the rebels even more unscrupulous.

Along with the jade chariot, the Emperor Gunfu and Mianqi were also sent there.

In the public room of the Ministry of Revenue, Pei Jiaoran turned over the documents in his hands. Can't help but sigh.

Lubu stretches for two or three miles, and officials in scarlet purple uniforms greet you along the way. There was no lack of pomp and ceremony that should be expected of an emperor's tour, as if the year-long departure from Beijing was just an ordinary emperor's inspection.

After throwing away the copy, he started to look through the account books on the side. Pei Jiaoran raised his lips slightly.

Because the emperor once stationed in Liangzhou, Emperor Wei issued an edict to change Liangzhou into Xingyuan Prefecture. The identity of the governor Yan Zhen also rose with the tide, and he took the post of Zuopushe, the inspector of the school, and became the Yin of Xingyuan Prefecture. He was also given a real seal of 300 households.

Looking at the numbers on the account book, Pei Jiaoran couldn't help but feel distressed.

Naturally, these rewards cannot go into the emperor's inner treasury. It can only be hidden from the left. As a rough estimate, it will cost Zuozang a lot of money.

Zuo Zang's current money was all taken away from Zhang Rang and others by all possible means. She really didn't want to spit it out like this.

After looking at the sky, Pei Jiaoran closed the account book. Emperor Wei has arrived in Xianyang this morning and will return to Chang'an tomorrow.

Those officials who stayed in Chang'an naturally had to go to Chengtianmen to greet him.

With his thoughts at this point, Pei Jiaoran sighed. I just hope that Emperor Wei will be less busy tomorrow so that she, the Minister of Household Affairs, can live in peace.

Before the curfew, Pei Jiaoran took a walk around the West Market. After restocking some daily necessities, I went to Aunt Hu's wine shop to buy Tanlang Guanqing, and then returned to Chongyifang leisurely in the dusk.

The curfew drums have sounded, but the place is still lively.

Pushing open the door of the house, I saw that there was no light in the house. She knew that Zhou Mancao might go out again.

After tying the horse, Pei Jiaoran opened the door and entered the house.

Although the room was quiet, she still noticed something unusual. She held her breath and lowered her voice, slowly approaching the screen.

Li Xiujing was seen sitting on a low couch nearby. He bent his legs, put his arms on his knees casually, and rolled up his cuffs, revealing his strong arms.

Looking around, Pei Jiaoran caught a glimpse of the armor lying aside. There was amusement in his eyes. He turned around and put down his things, folded his arms and stood by the screen and looked at Li Xiujing.

He came directly to her without changing his armor and clothes. He looked at her with such a look, which made it clear that he was a little unhappy. But he still refused to ask her.

"Jiajia." Li Xiujing called.

"Er Lang isn't going home?" Pei Jiaoran took a few steps forward and looked at him with a smile, "Why are you so impatient to come to my place?"

Hearing this, Li Xiujing walked towards her without saying anything. He reached out and took her into his arms.

"Let go." Pei Jiaoran opened the arms around his waist and said slowly: "You have been traveling for a whole day, don't you feel it?"

After hearing the words, Li Xiujing frowned. But he still let go of Pei Jiaoran and took off his robe. Go outside and fetch water from the well.

Pei Jiaoran followed him out, looked at Li Xiujing in front of him, and slowly took off his clothes. Revealing his muscular body, his slender legs and narrow waist are clearly visible. What caught his eye was the injury on his back.

It is common for those who are in the military to have injuries on their bodies. And she had seen it in more than one place. But now I can see that I don’t know why my body is a little warm.

He wiped himself with water. The muscles around his body also moved with his movements.

After watching it for a while, Pei Jiaoran finally tasted it. I bet this person was deliberately trying to seduce her. If she wasn't seduced, wouldn't it be a waste of his thoughts?

Thinking of this, Pei Jiaoran walked over briskly.

The sound of footsteps was heard, and Li Xiujing quickly wrapped the clothes she had taken off around her waist. Half-covered, but still unable to conceal what it should look like. When he did this, he seemed to be trying to cover up.

"Tsk."

Li Xiujing suddenly turned around and looked at Pei Jiaoran, who had a narrow look on his face. The strong chest suddenly hit his eyes.

"What if I open the door?" Pei Jiaoran said with a smile.

The words stopped causing Li Xiujing to glare at her.

"Aren't you hungry? I sent someone to buy food." Li Xiujing put on her clothes and glanced at her up and down, "I'll let you see enough later."

After listening to his words, Pei Jiaoran averted his eyes.

"Is Xuanyin planning to please me?" Pei Jiaoran added with a smile.

"Why not?"

Just as he was about to answer, there was a knock on the door.

Pei Jiaoran raised his eyes and glanced at Li Xiujing, then walked toward the door with a smile. Her steps are light and her figure is even more graceful.

Pressing the root of her lower teeth, Li Xiujing quickly put on her clothes. He stood with his hands behind his back and stared straight at Pei Jiaoran who came back with a food box.

Opening the food box in the pavilion, Pei Jiaoran looked at Li Xiujing who was still standing in the distance, "Aren't you coming?"

Under her gaze, Li Xiujing walked over. Lian Yi fell beside her and took out the dishes in the food box one by one.

"Erlang, what a great gesture." Pei Jiaoran walked around the dishes with chopsticks, "Huaiyang cuisine? Isn't this what you said to please me?"

Li Xiujing didn't answer when he heard this.

Thoughts flashed in his eyes, and Pei Jiaoran came over instantly to see what happened. Someone seems unhappy. Pei Jiaoran bit his lower lip with his eyes slightly narrowed.

She didn't know why. It looked like she had to coax him.

The two of them always eat very quickly. After watching Li Xiujing put away the dishes, Pei Jiaoran turned around and returned to the house.

When Li Xiujing came in, she had already taken off her bun and outer clothes. Sitting in front of the dressing table, her black hair spread over her shoulders. The white jade comb flew from her hair, and the fragrance spread out little by little with her movements.

Li Xiujing's eyes grew hot and he grabbed her hand. Comb her hair.

Through the mirror, he looked at Li Xiujing behind him. Pei Jiaoran raised his lips unconsciously. Under her gaze, he put down the comb and played with her hair with his fingertips.

"Be gentle." Pei Jiaoran hissed, eyes filled with dissatisfaction.

Hearing this, Li Xiujing sat down next to her, his eyes lingering on her opened dowry. There aren't many jewelry items in the dowry, and they can all be swept away at a glance.

He saw her onyx earrings placed in the corner. His eyes darkened, and he put his arms around her waist. Give it a gentle squeeze.

"Why did you come back today?" Pei Jiaoran glanced at him and said leisurely.

"When the emperor returns to the capital, he must be in style." Li Xiujing kissed the side of her neck and said warmly: "Your Majesty ordered me to lead my strategy to return to the capital overnight and greet him at Chengtianmen tomorrow morning."

"Oh. So that's it. Won't the Kingo Guard come?"

"Nature is back." The wetness lingered on the side of his neck, and Li Xiujing nibbled at the skin, "I had a fight with Lu Zheng. He lost to me three times."

With a narrowed look in his eyes, Pei Jiaoran replied nonchalantly, "How childish. If you beat him up, wouldn't you have lost the Jin Wu Guard's face?"

"But he likes you." Li Xiujing fiddled sparsely with her fingers in the makeup package, and accurately pinched out the pair of red agate earrings.

"So you beat him up? I asked him why he smelled of jealousy as soon as he came in. It turned out to be you." Pei Jiaoran continued talking unconsciously, "He likes him. I don't care, what do you care about?" ?”

"Don't you care?" Li Xiujing twirled her earrings, with a hint of sadness in her affectionate eyes. The sharp edges on the earrings are close to the ear beads. He exerted a little force, and the earrings were set on the thin earlobes.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran smiled, "Of course. Don't worry, I can only tolerate you in my eyes."

He chuckled in her ear. He messed up the things on the dressing table, grabbed her clothes, and all of them fell to the ground.

The blanket on the ground had been removed, and her skin touched the cold floor. Pei Jiaoran raised her head to meet his gaze. Oh, he was really unhappy.

"We have to meet him tomorrow." Pei Jiaoran said slowly.

"I know." Li Xiujing opened her collar button with his fingers, and the color of snow filled his eyes, "I will be merciful."

His body fell down, but Pei Jiaoran suddenly put his hand on his throat. Taking advantage of Li Xiujing's daze, she looked down at him just like last time.

Her fingertips traced his throat and circled on his chest. Slowly lowered his waist, but stopped moving.

"Why do you care so much about someone who doesn't want to do it?"

Pei Jiaoran said something and squeezed hard for a while. Then he relaxed his strength and looked at him softly. His eyes were full of affection, as if he would drown in it if he took one more look at it.

Leaning down, Pei Jiaoran's lips brushed against his ear, "You don't have to worry about the rest. Anyway, I have you in my heart."

Hearing this, Li Xiujing stared at her, as if he didn't believe her words.

"Oh." Pei Jiaoran sighed and squeezed hard for a while, "You have to believe me."

"I believe it." Li Xiujing's voice was a little low.

"As long as you believe it." Pei Jiaoran seemed a little tired after squeezing a few times. The whole body slid out, looking at him lazily, and leaned on him.

She seemed to be full and her eyes were closed.

Li Xiujing's eyes turned to her, and he suppressed the smile in his throat and said, "She's so unfamiliar."

When he stopped talking, Pei Jiaoran pinched him hard on the waist.

With a slight hiss, Li Xiujing suddenly turned over. Shen looked at Pei Jiaoran and said with a smile, "I'll please you."
