Your Highness, you stole my heart

After eating a sesame seed sober up, the two of them were embarrassed to be so straightforward, and Fa Yi and Peng Ji stopped after chatting.On a July day, the two of them were only covered with a thin quilt. Although they didn't get closer, Fa Yi still held Peng Ji's hand contentedly and fell asleep.

The two of them slept soundly and didn't feel the movement in the second half of the night at all. When they opened their eyes, it was mid-morning.

Coincidentally, the two opened their eyes back and forth, and looked at each other, showing some confusion.

"Your Highness, have we overslept?" He obviously didn't sleep too late last night, but when he opened his eyes, it seemed that the sky was bright, and his mind was groggy.

Peng Ji was also a little confused, but fortunately she was used to being calm all year round, and felt that the temperature was not as low as in the morning, so she understood, "Maybe I got up late, and I have nothing to do, so let's start later."

The person at the door knocked on the door when he heard the movement inside, "Master, do you want to get up?"

"Come in and serve."

The two got off the bed, and the first one took the clothes and went to the screen behind him.

Zhu Xiang and Mei Hua entered the room carrying water for washing, both of them lowered their eyes, afraid of seeing someone they shouldn't.

Although the two of them never had any thoughts that they shouldn't have, but the son-in-law is a man after all, they absolutely dare not look at them in the room.This is also a taboo in each mansion, many maidservants of regular wives in other mansions have been raised to be concubines.

After Peng Ji finished rinsing her mouth, Fa Yi came out from behind dressed neatly, and the two maids were also relieved to see this.

"What time is it?" Peng Ji felt a little strange, she was not so sleepy usually.

Zhu Xiang and Mei Hua looked at each other, then quickly knelt down, "Your Highness, please punish me, there were assassins blowing smoke into each room yesterday, and the servants didn't notice it."

Fa Yi was wiping his face. Hearing this, he was a little unbelievable, "Someone came into this room yesterday? How could you be so unaware?"

In fact, she was talking about herself, but in the ears of the two servant girls, she was blaming them for being servants.

The two replied in unison: "It's the servants who have neglected their duties."

Fa Yi wiped his face, waved his hands, and said boldly, "What does this have to do with the two of you, I didn't even notice it. By the way, did anyone get hurt?"

Peng Ji also agrees, she is not the kind of person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, "You two get up, and explain the matter clearly."

As she spoke, she sat in front of the dressing table and put the things she had brought on it, Zhu Xiang hurried over to comb the master's hair and make-up, and Mei Hua narrated the matter.

It turned out that in the middle of the night last night, the two of them were woken up by the dark guards splashing water, and only then did they realize that there were assassins blowing smoke in several rooms. The man seemed to be looking for money, he rummaged through the package and only took silver taels and valuables, but before he could go to the next room, he was caught by some hidden guards.

Because after checking, it was found that it was not too heavy smoke, and it was no problem to wake up after sleeping for a night, so I didn't wake up the two masters.

After Meihua finished speaking, she added a sentence with some doubts: "There is one thing that is strange. The secret guard found a stack of bank notes on the two of them, with a total of 3000 taels. But this morning, the servant asked the shopkeeper, and the few people were just They are a few idlers in the county, drinking and chatting outside all day without anything to do, and often go to the gambling house. They are not people with extra money at home."

Fa Yi was watching Peng Ji put on makeup, she heard this, she felt confident, "Mei Hua, just send those people to the yamen, and only say that these people are thieves."

Seeing that Peng Ji had no objection, Mei Hua took the order and went down.

Fayi walked up to Pengji, watched her catch the last breath, "Why isn't Your Highness wearing men's clothes today?"

Peng Ji used to draw the ends of her eyebrows longer when she put on make-up, which made her face look colder, but today she only raised the ends of her eyebrows, and a beautiful face appeared in the mirror. middle.

"I don't want to, I have to call my brother-in-law brother all day long."

Fa Yi laughed twice, "But His Highness wears women's clothing, so you have to call him "husband."

Peng Ji turned her face away, "Oh? Husband, do you want a concubine to serve you?"

Zhuxiang: I have no face to see, no ears to hear...

"My husband is serving His Highness." Fa Yi smiled and took the comb from Zhu Xiang's hand.

The latter tactfully withdrew to the door.

Fa Yi combed gently one by one, Peng Ji's hair is very long, it takes a long time for her to comb it.

"It's fine for His Highness to wear women's clothing, anyway, our whereabouts are not unknown."

"Your son-in-law is saying that those gangsters last night were not just trying to make money?"

Fa Yi likes how Peng Ji has a tacit understanding with her, "Exactly. A person with 3000 taels in his arms has no reason to take risks, let alone, they shouldn't have so much money."

"Then why only a few people were sent to the government?" She was confident in Fa Yi's ability to deduce cases.

"The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the open. If it's not good to fight directly, let's pretend to be stupid. Besides, let's let them go, and someone will never let them go." She saw this kind of thing. Too many, in the cases she tried in the past, not to mention this kind of gangster who was treated as a pawn, even the biological son was silenced by his own father after the crime happened.

Peng Ji felt relieved now, she is like this, she will not offend anyone if she is not offended, not to mention these little bastards are bold, so it is a bit uncomfortable to send them to the official, but fortunately, the son-in-law knows herself so well people.

"The only one who knows my thoughts is my husband."

Fa Yi stopped combing her hair, she lowered her body, leaned her head on Peng Ji's shoulder, smelled the fragrance of her hair, and whispered softly, "Your Highness is willing to do anything if you call her husband."

Peng Ji blushed, thinking that it was already daytime, she pushed her head away, "Spoken words."

After speaking, he got up and walked towards the door, Fa Yi followed with a smile, and when he was almost in front of the door, he took a step forward and opened the door, stretching out a gesture of invitation, "My lady, please go first."

Zhu Xiang at the door really wanted to make herself invisible, why is this son-in-law so outside, could it be that he was confused by yesterday's smoke.

It's a pity that she wanted to hide again, but she had to invite the two masters downstairs for dinner.

Downstairs, Liu Chunxi and Fa Siqi were already waiting for someone, and they got up to greet them when they came downstairs.

Peng Ji waved her hand lightly, "There are no rules or irregularities when going out, everyone will get along like ordinary merchants from now on, Zhuxiang, you sit down too."

Liu Chunxi sat down after Peng Ji sat down, not to mention Fa Siqi, she didn't want to stand up at all, if the patriarch and Peng Ji were not together, Zhu Xiang would sit down too.

Usually when going out, there are only His Highness and the four maids, and there are no such strict rules.

Sometimes Zhuxiang would also think, she thought in her heart that she would stay by His Highness's side to serve her all her life, and would never have a second heart, probably because His Highness never regarded the four maidservants as ants-like pariahs.

"Miss, drink some hot soup." Fa Yi put a bowl of vegetable soup in front of Peng Ji.

Fa Siqi listened to her patriarch shouting sweetly, she felt that she might not know the patriarch before, her calm and self-sufficient patriarch, "My lord, Si Qi really wants to drink a bowl of soup."

In Fa Siqi's eyes, she was just joking with the patriarch as usual.In the past, when they were on the mountain, they would joke like this when they saw newlyweds.

But in the eyes of Zhuxiang and the others, this is serious.

Zhu Xiang put the soup she had just filled in front of Fa Siqi, "If you want to drink it, drink it quickly." Zhu Xiang didn't understand herself, just now she was afraid that His Highness would punish this person.

For such an impolite long follower, His Highness should offend her.

Fa Siqi looked at the steaming soup, he was a little confused at first, and then he laughed foolishly and drank the soup in one gulp.

It's hot.

Fa Yi now has no hope for Fa Siqi, this ignorant person will suffer enough losses from the person he likes sooner or later.

She didn't pay attention to this person, and only served Peng Ji for dinner, eating the little peanut that Peng Ji picked up for her.

After eating, several people packed their bags and went out to continue on their way to Guanzhou.Fortunately, the road was peaceful and quiet, and there were no more moths. We arrived in Guanzhou just before dinner time in the evening.

Guanzhou is different from those counties. Water transportation is developed here, and several major port cities in Tianjin can be reached by water.

Thinking that a few people would have to go to Quanzhou before the big team if they took the waterway, Fa Yi suggested that it would be better to spend two days in Guanzhou, because it would be difficult to stop and rest if they got on the waterway.

Naturally, Peng Ji agreed, and for some reason, she agreed with what Fa Yi said now.

She has no doubt that if Fa Yi can't go to Quanzhou now, she can believe that Fa Yi has his own plan.

She thought of her second brother, King Xian, who let the concubine's natal family do evil because he doted on the concubine.

But looking at it now, maybe everyone in their Dugu family has this problem.Fortunately, the son-in-law is not a person who will mess around.

Coincidentally, the inn they stayed in was also a branch of Fengyuan Inn, which was the largest and best inn after Meihua went to inquire about it.

Peng Ji couldn't help but sighed, "Back then, I wanted to do this inn business, but this Fengyuan Inn has opened all over the country. I couldn't win this business, so I had to change it to a teahouse. Now I'm going out for a trip. I understand the reason why Fengyuan Inn can gain a foothold in Tianjin." Don't you understand, the inn has opened branches all over the country, but there is no need to talk about it because of its reputation, and the reputation is also excellent, otherwise when Meihua went out to inquire I won't blurt out that it is Fengyuan Inn.

When it comes to doing business, Peng Ji never admits defeat.Her father's private treasury and national treasury are in her hands, and it is not an exaggeration to say that money makes a lot of money.

So she was defeated by the inn at that time, and she really wanted to meet the owner behind the inn, but no matter how she searched, she could only find out the owner on the bright side.

Fayi heard that there was still this matter, so he quickly expressed his loyalty, "If the lady wants this inn, it's not impossible. You can call me a good husband, this inn is a small matter." Don't talk about the inn, I will give you my life okay?

"Huh?" Peng Ji heard the doorway here, "What does the son-in-law mean, that this inn has something to do with the son-in-law?"

Fa Yi drank his tea, with a smile on his eyes, but he didn't answer her.Seeing that the other party was still waiting stupidly, she blinked her right eye and winked.

It's a pity that my eyes were sore from blinking, and I couldn't see that the other party understood what I meant. Fa Yi smiled and said helplessly: "Your Highness, we know that there are informants in the Yamen of Tingwei Temple all the year round. If you get some news, you have to give some money."

"The son-in-law means that if I want to know the answer, I have to give the son-in-law some money?" Peng Ji didn't know that her son-in-law was so poor, presumably the salary was too small and not enough. "Don't worry, son-in-law, if you don't have enough money, just go to the accountant in the mansion to get it."

Fa Yi, patriarch of an incomparably rich lady clan: ...I'm sorry, I was reserved, blame me, not direct enough.

She simply got up, asked for the benefits herself, and before Peng Ji could react, she kissed her on the cheek before sitting back. "My lady, how can I use my lady's money for prison wine? If you tell me about it, you can't say that I, Tingwei, are a badass."

Peng Ji is still not used to her sudden intimacy, but fortunately there is no one else in the room, so a kiss is fine.What's more, I am also very happy.

"Then it seems that the son-in-law doesn't like to be this palace's little boy."

"How can it be? Prison wine is already white. Who dares to chew the root of your tongue if you call it a little white face." Fa Yi quickly changed the subject, "But this Fengyuan Inn, prison wine does have something to do with it. It is a family Middle industry, if the lady wants it, so what if I give it to the lady."
