"I still haven't had a good rest. I need to sleep for a while."
The man's still tired, low and hoarse voice came from above his head.
Mi Xiayao thought about it for a moment and said, "Now that the carriage is no longer rocking, you can lean on the carriage and sleep for a while."
"Too lazy to move."
The man rejected her proposal without hesitation.
Mi Xiayao still refused to give up and said, "How about I go down and you can stretch your legs and sleep more comfortably."
As soon as she finished speaking, Pei Xingyuan followed closely and asked, "Do you have to avoid me?"
She was very innocent, "I didn't hide from you."
The carriage suddenly fell into a deafening silence.
When she could clearly hear the beating of her heart, the other party took a deep breath.
"Mi Xiayao, after listening to your words, I tried to see other girls in the capital."
She clutched her wide-sleeved hand unconsciously and tightened her grip, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
This was not because she felt guilty, she just felt like something inside her heart had collapsed when she heard these words.
"I tried to get along with Chen Xi, and I also tried to get in touch with those noble ladies...but none of them gave me a relaxed and comfortable feeling."
Mi Xiayao twitched her lips. So that day when she saw Pei Xingyuan and Chen Xi coming to the teahouse, was it because of what she said?
whispering sound……
"Just the day before yesterday, a concubine from the Cui family told me that if I could marry her, she could convince Mr. Cui to let me rise to prominence and not just be a little Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple."
"Wouldn't that be nice?"
She swallowed and moistened her throat, but still responded dryly.
Without opening her mouth, the atmosphere was quite subtle. But once Mi Xiayao opened her mouth, now even the subtle atmosphere was gone.
A low and helpless chuckle came out, and she even vaguely felt that the hair on her head was rippled by the energy.
She shrank her head.
"This is what you told me, are there many people in the capital worthy of me?"
"With this combination, I can take many effective paths."
Pei Xingyuan bit his back teeth, with a somewhat exasperated tone. He didn't expect that this woman was just a stinking stone.
It won’t get hot even if you cover it!
Mi Xiayao forced herself not to feel this charming atmosphere. The distance between her and Pei Xingyuan was too close.
"That's right," she began to think wildly, trying to distract her attention, "If you wanted to take the road of being a soft rice, you would have boarded the ship of Princess Yongning a long time ago. Why are you still aggrieved and a young Zuo in the court?
Sir."
Pei Xingyuan suddenly felt his eyebrows twitching, and he tightened his grip on her waist.
He shouted her name through gritted teeth, "Mi! Xia! Yao!"
"You really understand that you are confused, don't you?" He raised his hand and grabbed her chin, gently lifting her up, forcing her to look at him.
The deep red phoenix eyes spoke word by word with a threatening and tempting pressure.
"With my ability, I don't have to cooperate with a woman. The bridges I have built with you these days are all purposeful. I want to be in the same room with you. I..."
"So you still want to stay with me because my body matches yours. If you..."
She interrupted him, trying to analyze herself.
But these words were getting more and more dangerous. The man half-squinted his red eyes. Although he hid his warmth and anger, he rubbed her into his arms harder.
"If you dare to say it from your mouth, if I had an incident with someone else, I might not feel that way. Now, after half an hour, you won't even be able to get out of the carriage."
Mi Xiayao unexpectedly closed her mouth obediently at this time.
Don't argue with such a man who is in a hurry.
"You still don't trust me, do you?"
The man could see through the little girl in her heart at a glance.
Mi Xiayao suddenly opened her beautiful eyes and looked at him, but she didn't dare to speak, she was afraid that she would ignite the temptation again.
"You still want to deal with me?"
"How dare you...haha." She laughed dryly.
Pei Xingyuan was silent for a moment, and then released her the next second.
After being freed, Mi Xiayao immediately sat aside, and the distance between the two people widened again.
In fact, Mi Xiayao felt Pei Xingyuan's sincerity.
But her self-esteem and experience told her not to bow her head easily, nor to agree to others easily.
She simply doesn't believe that a man really treats her wholeheartedly.
Pei Xingyuan closed his eyes with some exhaustion. When he opened them again, the gloomy expression just now was gone.
The cold-blooded man seems to be back again.
Mi Xiayao felt a familiar aura, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Didn't you ask me earlier what gift I prepared for the third prince? Since we are still on the same rope, I will synchronize the news with you."
Mi Xiayao cleared her throat. Seeing that he was almost resting, she thought it was more important to do serious things.
"Halfway up the hillside on the west side of the city, there is a villa. There is a golden house there to hide the beauty and raise a son and a daughter."
Her tone was much lowered, mainly because she was afraid that there were ears outside through the wall.
Pei Xingyuan had long guessed that according to her temperament, she would never miss this opportunity to give a gift to fight back against the third prince.
"How do you know this news?" He frowned.
Mi Xiayao also expected that he would react like this, and she raised her chin proudly.
"My family was born and raised in the capital. Although I was born in Qingzhou when I was a child, I also lived in the capital for many years. What's wrong with having some connections in my own territory?"
What she said was quite satisfactory. Pei Xingyuan sneered and was satisfied by her words.
"I heard that the bride of the Cui family loves pen and ink paintings. It just so happened that in my dowry there was an authentic work by Master Shan Qing, a pen and ink painting, and a text about the suburbs in the west of the capital."
"You are congratulating me in your real name, so you are not afraid of what the third prince will do to you?"
Pei Xingyuan put his hands on his knees, his eyes fell on the ground, and he asked indifferently.
"He doesn't dare. If he touches me, the incident in the western suburbs of the capital will spread. What he needs most now is the support of the Cui family. He can only swallow his anger and worry about when I will use this matter to attack
he."
"Aren't you afraid that he will secretly move people away again?"
"I'm afraid." She said confidently.
These words were caught off guard. Pei Xingyuan raised his eyelids and looked sideways at this woman.
Mi Xiayao smiled slyly, "But according to His Highness's temperament, he is unwilling to do such a thing as secretly moving someone to hurt his self-esteem."
Her bright eyes were shining, and she was momentarily elated.
"What I'm waiting for is for the Third Prince to be unable to bear it any longer and to have me stabbed."
In this way, she can legitimately strip off her status as a female official in the palace's clothing bureau, seemingly leaving Yuelai Tower behind, but in fact, she is heading to the destination city to do her big business.
Pei Xingyuan quickly heard what she said, and his eyes immediately darkened.
