It seemed as if someone had sent the maids away in advance so that the servants could avoid this hanging flower gate.

Song Qingcheng's mind moved slightly. There was only one person who had such a big say in the mansion. It seemed that the scene of her and Wei Shao talking at the Chuihua Gate just now, no one else saw it, but Pei Huaizhi saw it.

Given Pei Huaizhi's weird personality, he would definitely be unhappy again, so she didn't want to go back and get into trouble.

At this moment, someone came to report outside the door. It was Nan Shengsheng's servant who came to deliver a message, saying that Nan Shengsheng was waiting at the gate of the mansion and had made an appointment with Song Qingcheng for a night walk together.

Because of the New Year, the whole Shangjing was very lively. In order to celebrate with the people, the Emperor of Wei even lifted the curfew before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

As it happened, Pei Huaizhi was in the mansion, and she didn't want to go to Chunhe Hall.

Someone was sent to Chunhetang to get the cloak, and Song Qingcheng took Dongmei to the door.

at the same time.

Wei Shao seemed to be frozen in place, watching Song Qingcheng's figure disappear around the corner without looking away.

"Master Pei, since when did you like to do these hidden things?"

Wei Shao said in the air, with a teasing tone in his voice.

Pei Huaizhi came out from the rockery. There was no trace of embarrassment on his calm face, but he was very impolite in his words, "Your Highness is very comfortable, just like in your own house."

Pei Huaizhi changed the subject and continued, "But please understand, Your Highness. There are many women in the inner courtyard, which is always a little inconvenient."

Wei Shao, "..........."

In this inner courtyard, there is only one master besides the maid. Naturally, the maid doesn't have to worry about anything, as the female master is only Song Qingcheng.

"Master Pei, do you feel a sense of crisis?"

Wei Shao glanced at Pei Huaizhi.

Pei Huaizhi looked at Wei Shao with a half-smile.

Shuqi followed the two of them and felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird, even tense.

"that……"

Shuqi wanted to ease the atmosphere between the two people. After all, the relationship between them was very complicated.

But she looked at the two people carefully, then shrank her head and stood aside.

Pei Huaizhi took a step forward, opened his thin lips and said word by word, "How can you talk about courage when you are a defeated general?"

Wei Shao: “................”

Wei Shao's face turned mostly black, and a sentence was stuck in his chest, and he almost couldn't breathe.

He was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but what Pei Huaizhi said was the truth.

"you....."

Wei Shao was speechless.

Pei Huaizhi felt much better when he saw Wei Shao's frustrated look. He sneered, flicked his sleeves and walked away, leaving King Wei Shao of Yan standing there in a daze.

Walk a hundred meters.

Shuqi dared to speak, "Sir... that's the Fourth Prince, you... will the Fourth Prince bear a grudge?"

He continued with some concern, "After all, we have already established cooperation with His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan.

After all, we are in the same camp as His Royal Highness Prince Yan. If this angers him,

Will His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan directly break off relations with us? At this time, one less enemy is much better than one more.

And no matter how unpopular His Royal Highness Prince Yan is, he is still a prince. Aren't you afraid that he will report you to His Majesty?"

Hearing this, Pei Huaizhi said calmly, "Who do you think Wei Shao is?

If he lost his composure over such a small matter, or even went back to the palace to complain to the emperor, then he would not be Wei Shao.

It will not take only one year to go from being restrained everywhere to taking over the military power, cleaning up and gathering all the forces that are encroaching on the border and using them for your own benefit. "

Shuqi then realized that he was indeed narrow-minded. His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan had been able to hide his talents in that cannibalistic border for ten years and should not be underestimated.

To be so suspicious now is an insult to him.

Just a few words can show what kind of person King Yan Wei Shao is, but only Pei Huaizhi knows this. King Yan Wei Shao also needs someone to mediate for him in the court.

Otherwise, how could the King of Yan so easily form an alliance with Pei Huaizhi?

The reason for this was that Pei Huaizhi knew the secret plan of the King of Yan.

The reason why the King of Yan was not feared by His Majesty like the King of Yi was that

One reason is that Prince Yan secretly gained military power during his many years at the border, and the military power in the northwest is still openly controlled by Chen Guan, who is trusted by the emperor.

This is why the King of Yi is feared by His Majesty, but the King of Yan is not.

The second is that Pei Huaizhi knew the King of Yan's background, so the King of Yan had to trust him.

"Where's Madame?"

Pei Huaizhi asked casually.

At the same time, Dongmei just happened to come back.

"Master?"

Dongmei bowed.

Seeing that Song Qingcheng was not there, he frowned and asked, "Where is the Madam?"

Pei Huaizhi thought Song Qingcheng was fine, so he returned to Chunhetang.

Unexpectedly, Song Qingcheng was nowhere to be seen.

"My Lord, Miss Nan has made an appointment with Madam to watch the lanterns. I am going back to get Madam a fox cloak."

Shuqi glanced at his master's face.

It's a rare time when her master has some free time, but the lady actually spends it with someone else.

Who can reason with this?

Without Pei Huaizhi's consent, Dongmei naturally didn't dare to leave.

Pei Huaizhi was silent for a while before waving his hand to signal Dongmei to leave.

After Song Qingcheng left the house, Pei Huaizhi went straight back to the study.

The new tax policy has been implemented well. The treasury's income is now more than five times that of last year. The next step is to change the route of the canal transportation.

The Tongzhou project had to be completed before the autumn flood season. Fortunately, the workload was not very large and there were no people living nearby, so there was no need to resettle the people, which saved most of the time.

The rough drawing of the canal transport diversion is still in the study.

Logically speaking, as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he only needed to calculate the costs, and the specific implementation and drawings of the project did not require his approval, but the Emperor of Wei handed this matter over to her.

The canal transportation was diverted, and there was a lot of money involved. What he needed to do was to use all the money he had spent on materials and labor. He also needed detailed deployment, but wasn't this matter urgent?

But he found that apart from handling official business, there was nothing else to do, because someone had no awareness of being a wife.

Shuqi saw Pei Huaizhi's tall figure and shook his head, thinking how pitiful he was.

***********

At the same time, Dongmei trotted back to Chunhetang to get the cloak, and then trotted back to the gate of the mansion.

Seeing that her master had already boarded the carriage, she followed Nan Shengsheng's maid Yingge and boarded the carriage behind. Following Song Qingcheng and Nan Shengsheng's carriage.

The carriage rumbled towards Suzaku Street.

Inside the carriage, Nan Shengsheng saw Song Qingcheng's starry eyes.

Song Qingcheng was frightened by being stared at. Since she got on the carriage, Nan Shengsheng has been like a little puppy, supporting his chin with both hands. His eyes were wet and round as he looked at her.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"
