After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

Chapter 5: Already have a girl you like

The boy's palms were warm and cool.

Pei Chuchu retracted his hand as if he was electrocuted, his pupils extremely round in the sunlight: "What are you doing, Your Majesty?"

Xiao Dingzhao clearly read the defensiveness in her eyes.

Sister Pei...

Don't like him?

He twirled his fingertips, suddenly narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said softly: "When I was young, I often held Sister Pei's hand. Now that I have grown up, Sister Pei is separated from me."

When the young man smiled, his lips were red and his teeth were white. The dark red imperial uniform with black edges made him handsome and noble.

It makes people take off their guard easily.

Pei Chuchu lost seven points of caution: "When I was young, I didn't know how to protect men and women. Now that I have grown up and become sensible, your majesty should keep a distance from your servants."

Xiao Dingzhao's eyes were dim and unclear, but the smile on his face became even brighter: "Sister Pei is right, it's all my fault. I saw that Sister Pei looked very beautiful wearing a jade bracelet, and I thought about the beauty of jade, so I specially made it for Sister Pei found a jade crested hairpin, which can be used as an apology gift today."

He took out the crested hairpin from his wide sleeve and stuffed it into the palm of Pei Chuchu's hand under the cover of the dragon case.

Pei Chuchu was stunned.

She raised her head hesitantly, and the emperor blinked his left eye at her.

He still looks like a naughty boy, very much like the brother next door.

Pei Chuchu grew up with the emperor since childhood and treated him somewhat as a younger brother.

She couldn't help but feel a little softer, and all her initial wariness disappeared.

She held the crested hairpin and whispered: "Thank you, Your Majesty for the reward..."

On the high platform, the two of them talked to each other.

The civil and military officials and the beautiful ladies felt uncomfortable when they saw this.

Mrs. Pei felt sorry for her daughter Pei Minmin and was anxious to know the results of the draft. She interrupted with a smile on her face: "I wonder what your majesty and Chuchu are talking about, and they are talking so happily? These many beautiful girls are still waiting for you."

Xiao Dingzhao glanced at her and ordered the draft to continue.

Beauty is like a flower, charming and charming.

Pei Chuchu watched with Xiao Dingzhao for a while, then quietly focused his attention outside the draft venue.

More than a dozen high-ranking gentlemen who were close friends were sitting together, laughing and talking about calligraphy and painting.

One of them was born with a majestic appearance, a subtle and restrained demeanor, and a rare bloodiness about him, which was completely different from the pink-faced scholars around him.

He is General Shen’s nephew, Shen Zhiyan.

The Shen family is a prominent family and the family is very prosperous. In addition to General Shen who is in charge of 200,000 troops in the capital, and the general's wife who controls Tianshu, the members of the Shen family also hold important positions in the military.

For example, this Shen Zhiyan, whose parents died in the battlefield in his early years, grew up in the Shen Mansion and worked with General Shen at a young age. Now he has taken the position of deputy general.

She has no parents in the family, and she comes from a prominent family and has a bright future. He is a tailor-made husband for her...

Over the years, no one has been planning for her future, which has caused her to delay the age of proposing marriage. Seeing that she is about to become the laughing stock of Chang'an's aristocratic circle, she must plan her future herself.

Pei Chuchu rubbed the jade hairpin in his palm and looked at Shen Zhiyan from a distance, feeling a little moved in his heart.

Half an hour later,

The draft is finally over.

Xiao Dingzhao did not explain who was selected. He only said that the candidates would be announced in two days. He left a group of ignorant show ladies and drove back to Changle Palace.

Just as Pei Chuchu was about to follow the car, Mrs. Pei came looking for her.

Pei Chuchu was taken to a remote corner of the imperial garden by her. As soon as he stood still, he heard a question that covered his head and face:

"What happened to your sister? Why does she have a stomachache when she is fine?! On such an important day, something went wrong! Chuchu, how on earth did you do things for your sister?!"

Pei Chuchu said calmly: "Maybe my sister ate the wrong thing, or maybe she caught the cold."

"You're talking nonsense!" Pei Minmin held her stomach weakly and cried for a while. Her eyes were extremely red and swollen. "I've always been in good health, so I didn't catch the cold! Are you jealous that I want to be the queen, so you deliberately gave me this secretly? Am I the stumbling block? Pei Chuchu, if I don't choose, you won't be able to live well!"

Pei Chuchu looked at her.

Others say that the second girl from the Pei family is the most talented woman in Chang'an.

There are poems and books in her belly, which are gentle and virtuous.

But in private...

She is just an ordinary woman who gets angry and speaks vulgarly when provoked.

There was sarcasm in Pei Chuchu's eyes, but his face was very gentle: "What benefits can I gain by framing you? For me, the day when my sister becomes the queen is the day when I will make my mark. Don't worry, His Majesty is not interested in you. Ji Di, I even said you are very interesting. I am sure my sister will be able to secure the position of queen in this draft. Just go home and prepare the things you need to enter the palace."

The girl's voice was cold and sweet.

Inexplicably convincing.

Pei Minmin was doubtful: "Your Majesty...really said that?"

Pei Chuchu smiled and nodded.

Pei Minmin was immediately overjoyed. She looked at each other and smiled at Mrs. Pei. Her attitude towards Pei Chuchu softened a lot. After greeting her for a while, she said goodbye and left the palace.

Pei Chuchu looked at their backs coldly.

She grew up in the palace and could speak nice words better than anyone else.

Pei Minmin wants to enter the palace...

dream.

After seeing off the Pei family mother and daughter, Pei Chuchu went straight back to Changle Palace.

But in Changle Palace, I bumped into an uninvited guest.

She stood outside the bead curtain and stared blankly at the person sitting opposite the emperor talking to him under the window.

Shen Zhiyan...

Why is he here?

Pei Chuchu's eyes moved slightly, and he refused to let go of the opportunity to get closer. When he saw the little palace maid coming in to deliver tea, he took the tea tray, walked to the window, sat down at the tea table, and put the tea on the table respectfully.

She whispered: "This year's Meiwu Longjing, the soup is clear and clear, the tea has a wonderful aroma, and the taste is clean and moist. Please give it a try, Mr. Shen."

The girl serves tea with ease.

The wide dark cyan sleeves slid down halfway, revealing her arms that looked like white jade. The jasper bracelet hanging on her wrist was loose and smooth, which complemented the girl's slenderness and delicateness. Her red fingertips gently rested on the wall of the cup, especially Delicate and attractive.

Pei Chuchu is undoubtedly beautiful.

Xiao Dingzhao held his chin with one hand and kept smiling, looking at her with phoenix eyes without blinking.

It's just that this delicate flower doesn't seem to bloom for him.

The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he lowered his eyes to drink tea.

Shen Zhiyan did not take the cup of tea.

He motioned to Pei Chuchu to put the tea on the table. He had no intention of drinking it. He only looked at Xiao Dingzhao seriously: "I have made up my mind, please fulfill your Majesty's wishes."

Xiao Dingzhao said lightly: "She is still young."

Shen Zhiyan nodded: "I can afford to wait."

Xiao Dingzhao savored the fragrance of tea between his lips and teeth and chuckled: "I don't win anyone's love. If you like it, I will never get involved. What's more, I have only regarded that girl as my sister over the years."

Shen Zhiyan couldn't help but have a smile on his face, and he respectfully thanked Xiao Dingzhao before leaving Changle Palace with brisk steps.

Pei Chuchu watched Shen Zhiyan go away and secretly held the tea cup tightly.

She said: "Mr. Shen... already has a girl you like?"

"Well, he likes the Jiang sister from Jinlingyou." Xiao Dingzhao glanced at her, "Are you disappointed?"

Pei Chuchu calmed down: "Not really."

Even as he said this, a wave of disappointment spread in his heart.

She couldn't stay in the palace her whole life.

Pei Minmin had her mother's plans for her, but she didn't.

The Pei family has no place for her.

Her future...

Where?

The girl suddenly plucked up the courage and looked at Xiao Dingzhao: "His Majesty once said that he is willing to look after his husband for the sake of his daughter. Does that still count?"
