Chapter 184 Beauty Consort [3]
Soon, three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the day of getting married finally came.
Due to the low status of the original owner, he didn't have his own princess mansion, so after Yue Luo changed into a bright red wedding dress, he was led into a wedding sedan chair in the palace.
Yue Luo was speechless all the way, with extremely complicated emotions. He looked down at his current attire, and didn't know whether he should be thankful that his body was too slender so that no one would notice it, or whether he should be worried that his body was so thin this time.
After a while, probably when they arrived at Pei Lai's mansion, the sedan chair finally stopped.
Through the veil, Yue Luo couldn't see what was in front of him at all. Fortunately, when he got off the sedan chair, a maid stepped forward to help him.
The moment he left the sedan chair and was exposed to others, Yue Luo was suddenly a little embarrassed by the women's clothing on his body.
It's impossible to say you don't worry about being found out.
However, Yue Luo didn't know that at this moment, in the eyes of others, he was completely a slender girl, with especially slender toes and fingers, which would not arouse suspicion at all.
Afterwards, Yue Luo was taken to a place similar to an auditorium. He heard the noise in his ears gradually getting louder, and he also vaguely felt that the surroundings seemed to be full of guests.
There are so many people, it's nothing, but there seems to be a sharp line of sight cast towards him in the crowd, which makes him unbearably vigilant.
Immediately afterwards, Yue Luo felt Pei Lai coming in front of him.That sharp line of sight also approached.
Yue Luo was taken aback, and thought to himself: Could it be that Pei Lai was looking at him just now?
Yue Luo didn't have enough time to think, because the tedious steps of worship soon overwhelmed his thoughts.
It was finally over, and Yue Luo's legs were almost numb.
With a resounding "Li Cheng", a maid finally came and took "her" to the wedding room to rest.
The moment he was finally able to relax and sit down beside the bed, Yue Luo breathed out silently, and silently helped his crooked veil.
After the maids arranged the room for a while, they all left, leaving Yue Luo waiting alone.
But Yue Luo didn't see Pei Lai coming until he was drowsy and almost collapsed, and finally he didn't see Pei Lai coming until the guests outside had dispersed and the voices had quieted down.
Exactly...
This time, Yue Luo immediately became more relaxed. He tore off the veil that was in the way, and took off the wedding clothes on his body, and then washed briefly with the water prepared on the side, and went to bed. Lie down on the soft quilt tiredly.
Yue Luo fell asleep almost as soon as he touched the pillow.
After he fell asleep for a long time, the dark guard who had been watching secretly left and went to the study to report secretly to Pei Lai.
At this time, Pei Lai had already changed out of the brightly colored wedding dress in the daytime, and put on a pale moon-white gown. Under the candlelight, he was calmly flipping through a book.
After listening to the report from the dark guard, Pei Lai did not raise her eyes: "She has already fallen asleep?"
The dark guard hesitated for a moment, nodded and answered yes, and then gave a detailed report on how the newly promoted "Prime Minister's wife" tidied up neatly, and how he went to bed with relief and fell asleep peacefully.
——He thought that the lord wanted to monitor whether there was anything wrong with the lady, so he described it in great detail.
However, after hearing this, Pei Lai gave a half-smile, stopped talking, and waved his hand to let him go down.
Then there was the sound of the door being gently closed, and the study returned to silence.
In the night, the candlelight flickered suddenly, and it took Pei Lai a long time to close the pages of the book, his long eyelashes slightly raised.
That princess seems to be different from her weak appearance.
But what does it have to do with him.
The next day...
Yue Luo was a little surprised when he opened his eyes and found out the time. He was not urged by anyone to get up and walk on the second day of the wedding, but fell asleep until he woke up naturally.
During this period, Pei Lai was completely indifferent.
It seems that he intends to let "her" go.This also suits Yue Luo's wishes.
After he got up, he turned away the maid and did not ask Qiugu to help her dress, after all men and women are different.
Yue Luo studied for a long time before he put on the cumbersome ancient clothes one by one.
Then Yue Luo cautiously looked at the bronze mirror to confirm that there was no possibility of revealing his secrets.
The biggest advantage of coming here is that you can wear warm and thick clothes, and there are complete heaters in the room.
After Yue Luo made arrangements for Qiugu and ensured that she would live here without any worries, he began to slowly explore the Prime Minister's Mansion, thinking about how to accomplish his mission.
Put aside the task of degrading the mean princess to a commoner, and now he has to figure out how to inherit the throne.
Yue Luo pursed his lips, and stood under the crimson eaves with his hand stove in his arms. Looking at the light snow that started to fall outside again, he called out the villain system and asked, "How many princes are there in the palace now?"
The villain system immediately replied: "None, the emperor's current heirs are all princesses."
Yue Luo's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Okay, I got it."
In this case, the existence of the original owner is particularly important - as long as the emperor is informed of his true identity, the task of inheriting the throne will be simple.
It's just that his current situation is really embarrassing.
Almost everyone knew that "she" married into the prime minister's mansion, even if she went back and told the emperor the real gender of "her", it would hurt Pei Lai's reputation and dignity.
As a powerful and famous prime minister, if Pei Lai had a bad relationship with him, it would definitely be very difficult to inherit the throne.
Yue Luo lowered his eyes and thought.
And this scene happened to be caught by Pei Lai who just got off the carriage and walked into the house.
With a calm face, Pei Lai looked at the thin girl standing beside the red porch, holding a small hand stove, wrapped tightly and warmly.
Fang Fang's waterfall-like black hair was partially covered by a snow-white bearded hat, and under the front brim of the bearded hat, one could see her delicate and clean facial features, as well as the tip of her nose that was slightly red from the cold.
The most striking thing is the thoughtful and calm expression on the girl's face.
It was completely different from the trembling and submissive impression in his mind before, or was it just a disguise used by the other party to confuse others?
Pei Lai remained calm.
Sensing someone approaching, Yue Luo raised his eyes vigilantly, and met the gentle young man not far away, he couldn't help being stunned again.
——Pei Lai's outstanding appearance is too foul, making it impossible for people to react quickly.
Yue Luo came back to his senses after a few breaths, and looked at Pei Lai steadfastly, without dodging the slightest bit, neither humble nor overbearing.
He didn't realize that he was unknowingly holding the hand stove tightly, and only thought intently:
If you want to complete the task in the simplest way, then you have to take good care of Pei Lai, an npc with incredible abilities, and everything will be easy if you win him over.
And Pei Lai became interested when he saw the expression on the girl's face that she was seriously thinking about something.
He waved his hand lightly, making the servants holding umbrellas to step down, and walked under the eaves.
After meeting Yue Luo, he pursed his lips slightly.
Pei Lai was the first to speak softly: "Want to chat?"
After Yue Luo nodded slightly, he was taken to the study by the other party.As soon as he walked in, Yue Luo smelled the pleasant incense that seemed to be absent, which made his spirit, which was still tense at first, unconsciously relax.
"Please sit down..." Pei Lai made a cup of tea for "her" condescendingly, with a polite smile showing alienation.
But Yue Luo didn't care too much. After sitting down, he looked at Pei Lai and heard the other party calmly say, "You should really want to stay away from the palace."
"Why did the prime minister say that?"
Hearing this, Pei Lai looked at "her" quietly, narrowing her phoenix eyes, as if saying that he prefers honest people.
If it was the character of the original owner, he must have already nodded his head in a hurry at this time, but Yue Luo wanted to complete the task. After thinking about it, he still asked ambiguously: "Is this important now?"
Pei Lai looked at "her", "If you want, I have a plan to get the best of both worlds."
Yue Luo parted his lips, realizing that Pei Lai wanted to send him away secretly.
But he can't go now...
"Master Pei..." Yue Luo thought about it, "I have nowhere to go, and I don't want to leave here for the time being."
Pei Lai was silent for a moment, then seemed to want to end the conversation and said: "Then if you want to leave someday, just come to me."
After hearing this, Yue Luo nodded cautiously, looked at Pei Lai for a while, and said, "Master Pei, thank you very much this time."
Pei Lai gave a "hmm" and was not interested in "her" thanking her.
Yue Luo thought for a while, and he didn't have anything to say, so he saluted and exited the study with Pei Lai's tacit consent.
Although he didn't have much contact with him, he somehow felt that Pei Lai was a person with a clear distinction between public and private. Maybe knowing that he was a man disguised as a woman would not retaliate against him because of losing face?
But Yue Luo didn't dare to expose it easily, so he decided to observe for a while.
So in the following time, Yue Luo lived every day to sleep until he woke up naturally, no one restrained him, he didn't have to worry about food and clothing, and he didn't have to face the embarrassment of going to bed at night.
More importantly, after a few brief conversations with Pei Lai, Yue Luo felt more and more in his heart that Pei Lai was a gentleman who could deliver secrets.
It's just that Yue Luo couldn't find any suitable time to tell Pei Lai the whole story.
He didn't know that while he was quietly observing Pei Lai, Pei Lai was still sending secret guards to monitor his every move.
But the more Pei Lai listened to the report from the secret guard, the more curious he became about the princess he married——
Judging from the previous lesson to Eunuch Sun, this princess is not as weak and timid as she looks on the outside.
Moreover, he didn't see any intentions from the other party at all. Apart from eating and sleeping calmly every day, he had no other activities.
If it was because of him that the other party insisted on staying in this prime minister's mansion, Pei Lai didn't think that the other party had any affection for him at all, and even said that he had no other feelings.
But since there is no reason, why is the other party staying here?Is it possible that you just want to ask for food and clothing?
Pei Lai became more and more aware of the other party's true thoughts, which coincided with Yue Luo's desire to find an opportunity to explain the truth of the matter.
Finally, Yue Luo decided not to wait for the so-called suitable opportunity, so he took the initiative to stop Pei Lai and asked him if he had time to have dinner together in the evening.
Although Pei Lai never liked to be with other people, but after hearing the words, he thought about it for a few seconds before nodding his head.
