Wearing a book, the paranoid devil is crying in my arms

The court lady who originally came out with Xi Yan was also clever. When she saw Xi Yan and Pei Mu leave, she asked someone to park the carriage at the side door of Pei Mansion.

When Xi Yan came out of the side door, he didn't expect to see the carriage here. He glanced sideways at Pei Mu and signaled that he could go back.

However, Pei Mu has a stubborn character and insisted on sending him to the palace.

Sitting in the carriage, the two had nothing to say all the way. There was a small heater in the carriage, but it wasn't too cold. Finally, Xi Yan couldn't help but ask.

"It's already past the curfew time when you come out of the palace. I'm afraid you will attract attention if you leave the palace again."

The meaning of Xi Yan's words was to tell him not to follow, but after hearing these words, Pei Mu spoke up very logically.

"Then I'll stay in the palace. The palace is so big, is it possible that there isn't even a place to live?"

After hearing his words, Xi Yan was a little helpless, but he didn't say anything more. After entering the palace, he walked all the way through the palace wall and went directly to his bedroom.

After getting out of the carriage, snow had already fallen on the ground outside, and the cold wind that hit his face as soon as he came out subconsciously wrapped his cloak tightly.

But he still couldn't help but stop and looked up at the heavy snow all over the sky. After a while, there was already a lot of snow on the ground.

There will be a crisp sound of stepping on the snow when the feet are stepped on, and Pei Mu followed Xi Yan very steadily.

Xi Yan walked in front and did not forget to catch the snowflakes. He looked down at the snow on his feet, and Pei Mu's footprints happened to land on the place where he stepped on.

Walking to a bluestone road, Xi Yan staggered without noticing his feet. He was a little flustered and wanted to stand firm, but he didn't want his feet to slip suddenly.

He froze for a moment, and felt a little embarrassed for a moment. He was about to fall in front of Pei Mu, and his king's face was really lost.

But I didn't want to be firmly caught by a strong arm at the waist in the next moment.

He was stunned for a moment and looked up. The brim of his hat fell, and the snow fell on his face, which happened to meet Pei Mu's drooping eyes.

Xi Yan was a little dazed, subconsciously grabbing his collar, Pei Mu smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty, walk carefully."

Seeing him like this, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately stood up straight, but he always felt a little embarrassed, the tips of his ears were red, he raised his hand in a panic and put on his hat again.

The steps under his feet were unconsciously quickened, and Pei Mu followed behind him, still at a leisurely pace.

Even so, he was still able to keep up with Xi Yan's footsteps, and when he reached the gate of the main hall, there were several palace servants sweeping the snow.

Seeing Xi Yan coming back, they immediately dropped their things and knelt down, and Xi Yan straightened her back.

Pei Mu could also clearly feel the change in him, the flustered look just now disappeared in an instant, carrying the coercion of the superior.

He glanced at the group of people kneeling in front of him, and his voice was cold.

"Clean out the side hall. If anyone dares to speak in front of the Queen Mother about what happened tonight, I will pull out his tongue."

"Yes……"

Everyone responded in panic, and then Xi Yan walked forward again, every step was very steady.

Pei Mu still slowly followed behind him, but for some reason, he felt a little lonely from his back.

So these years he has had a hard time in the palace, always worrying that there will be eyeliners around him, and his every word and deed will be monitored.

He doesn't want to enter the palace by himself, is it also because of this, he doesn't want to let himself appear in the ears of the queen mother.

Immediately, he felt indescribably complicated. When he arrived in the main hall, Xi Yan raised his hand to untie the cloak. As soon as Pei Mu stepped into the room, the palace staff immediately closed the door.

The heavy door of the main hall was slowly closed, and the stove was still burning inside, making it warmer here than Pei Mu's place.

Throwing the cloak aside, there were only two people left in the hall, entered the hall and walked towards the back, bypassing the partition screen, to the inner hall.

There is a stove in the inner hall, and a censer is placed on the platform, and a faint fragrance wafts from the censer.

And Xi Yan threw the cloak on one side of the hanger, turned to look at Pei Mu, then walked to a shelf, and then took out the wooden figurine that Pei Mu gave him a long time ago from the shelf.

Pei Mu also noticed that these two villains were a little rough when he sculpted them.

In the end, in Pei Mu's hands, he did not expect that he would polish the edges and corners of this villain, making it much more delicate than the one he carved before.

"You carved a little ugly before, look, don't you look better now?"

Xi Yan is like the kid who played around with him back then, showing off to him with the things he likes.

Pei Mu took one from him, it was the appearance of the banquet he carved before, now after being polished, it looks exactly like the banquet.

Putting the wooden figurine back, Xi Yan found a small wooden box from the box on the side again.

The finely crafted red sandalwood box was extremely exquisitely carved, while Xi Yan held the small box and immediately took out a jade pendant from the box.

The jade pendant is connected in series with a red thread, and a fox is hung on it. The fox is curled up in a ball, squinting, as if sleeping.

Very obedient and lifelike, the white jade is warm and moist in the hand, this jade pendant is not big, only the size of a thumbnail.

"I sculpted this myself. You don't like the sugar fox figure. You think it will be easy to melt if you wear it on your body. Why don't you carve this jade pendant in the shape of a fox and take it with you?"

Speaking of Xi Yan, he put the jade pendant in his hand, "I have scrapped a lot of jade materials for carving, and this is the best one. I also asked a monk from Jinhua Temple to consecrate it, so that it can keep you safe."

Pei Mu squeezed the wooden figurine tightly in silence, unable to express his feelings in his heart.

"You have no eyes on the battlefield. I don't know if this amulet is useful, but it reminds you to protect yourself."

Seeing the white jade fox lying in his palm, Pei Mu resisted the urge to hug him.

Soon Xi Yan pulled him to sit in front of the bronze mirror, stood at him and stretched out his hand, and hung the white jade fox around his neck, no matter the size or the length of the red thread, it was just right.

The white jade fell a bit abruptly on his bronze neck, but fortunately, he couldn't see anything when he put it on his collar.

"Pei Mu, you weren't the one who liked to laugh the most before. I haven't seen you laugh so much since you came back."

Pei Muxiao used to be that kind of chic and unrestrained smile, but now his smile has become more restrained, even the whole person is showing a sense of coldness.

Xi Yan's hand flashed in front of his eyes, and Pei Mu immediately raised his hand and tightly grasped his wrist with such force that Xi Yan couldn't break free at all.

"Why did you hurt your hand?"

He didn't notice the injury on Xi Yan's hand before, but now he noticed several scratches on his fingertips, although they were slowly healing.

But those ten fingertips almost all had criss-crossing fine and dense scratches, and then thought of the white jade fox on his neck.

Pei Mu had mixed feelings in his heart, and he really wanted to tell Xi Yan.

Don't be so nice to him, he is not a nice person.
