C138 (2/2)

However, Hanxi was completely terrified, she stood there like a log.

She never had the ability to flatter or curry favour with her mother. That was the bloodline love that blended into her body. She only needed to be herself and everyone would love her. She never knew how to please a person, or even make a person like her.

Bi Zhenye forced himself past his father and stood in front of his sister, as he said respectfully to Wei Tengfei: ”General Wei, there are many things that I would be puzzled about when I was reading a military book the day before yesterday. If I could receive your guidance, it would be my honor.”

Since there were people coming to help, Wei Tengfei immediately agreed. Following Bi Zhenye's instructions, the two went back to the banquet.

The Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi was naturally angry from embarrassment. Because this was the palace, he did not dare be rash against his son. As for Wei Tengfei's attitude, he did not feel that it was abnormal at all.

The end of the banquet was already in sight. Not long later, the Empress left her seat, and a servant came to invite the Xiaowan. Under the gazes of everyone present, she brought her son and walked towards the Culture Hall.

The people present had long understood that this young lady, who was inappropriately dressed in plain clothes, was a distinguished guest of the Middle Palace. Like her mother-in-law, the new Empress was a straightforward person.

Outside the Culture Hall, Xiaowan brought Little Pei and bowed once more, but Siyan said: ”I had originally wanted to invite you into the palace to join in the liveliness and excitement, but who would have thought that I would restrict you. For the entire day, even if you sat, you wouldn't be able to stand, so Xiaowan, you have been wronged.”

Xiaowan hurriedly said, ”Many thanks esteemed wangfei, I had an eye-opener. Little Pei had a great time playing and ate a lot of delicious food.”

Little Pei was very smart and ran under the empress's skirt, saying obediently, ”Empress, I still want to come next time.”

Only then did Siyan feel more gratified. After knowing that her brother was going to send Xiaowan back to the tavern, she did not say much and instead told him to head back earlier.

Outside the palace, the guests had left one by one. Seeing Wei Tengfei standing under the horse carriage, many people came up to greet him.

Although he responded, he was naturally imposing and did not dare to smile. When other people saw this, they did not dare to get close to him.

When the people of the palace brought the Xiaowan and his mother out, Wei Tengfei actually walked towards them with large strides. When the people at the side saw this, they guessed that something was amiss, and they all noted down Xiaowan to ask around.

”Get in.” Wei Tengfei said, and carried Little Pei, teasing him: ”Is Little Pei sleepy?”

There were so many people here, that the Xiaowan didn't want to make things awkward for her, so he got on the carriage and let Wei Tengfei take her to the inn. Little Pei was really sleepy, and quickly fell asleep in his mother's embrace.

”General.” Xiaowan put her son down, raised the curtain and said to Wei Tengfei who was seated outside, ”I want to invite you to slow down, I am afraid I might push Little Pei too far.”

However, Wei Tengfei said, ”Xiaowan, you don't have to be so courteous to me.”

Xiaowan replied: But I am not familiar with General, we are neither family nor friends, this is the most basic form of courtesy.

That's right, they weren't familiar with each other. Although Siyan and Xiaowan had only met for a short period of time, and a few green bean cake could settle their love for each other, Wei Tengfei and Xiaowan were not that familiar. Love at first sight was true, and it was also true that they would fall in love the next time they meet, but …

”Why did the general ask me if I was looking at the emperor when the fireworks were going off?” In fact, Xiaowan was also very curious. At that time, she was very curious about what she looked like and whether others could sense that there was a ”person” standing beside her.

Wei Tengfei was also frank, ”Xiaowan, I told you not to be angry. At that time, the look in your eyes made me feel worried, and from the angle of my gaze, it was as if you were staring at the emperor.

The Xiaowan laughed bitterly, ”I'm afraid before I even reach the Emperor, the imperial guards have already pinned me to the ground.”

Wei Tengfei said guiltily: ”Sorry, I misunderstood.”

However, the Xiaowan said, ”The general did not misunderstand. Even though I did not want to kill the Emperor tonight, my hatred towards him has never been reduced or let down. I just want to, so what if I killed him? Ling Chaofeng won't come back, and the Empress will lose her husband.

”Xiaowan, you have such a big heart.” Wei Tengfei was very moved.

”That's not true. He knows he can't take revenge, yet he used such a reason to comfort himself.” Xiaowan laughed desolately, ”If it were an ordinary person, I would have gone all out long ago.”

Wei Tengfei looked at her. He had always been looking forward to the Xiaowan showing her face, hoping that she would smile like the past. Although there was a smile on her face now, this kind of smile was even more bitter than tears.

”After Ershan passes his test, I won't have anything to worry about.” Xiaowan leaned against the carriage, her smile finally carried a sense of gratification, ”General, our family's Ershan has worked hard, and I heard that he ranked first in the college entrance examination, and will definitely pass the examination, waiting for the top scorer to come. My family's master hasn't doted on this little brother of her for nothing.”

Wei Tengfei listened silently, he did not know how to continue. Although the Xiaowan did not reject his existence, but even if they were this close, even if they were sitting in the same carriage, they were still people from two different worlds.

The Xiaowan had hidden herself, she was no longer the young lady that was friendly to everyone she met.

Just as Wei Tengfei was sending Xiaowan to the tavern, Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi also brought his children home. As soon as he entered the door, he scolded his son to follow him.

When Mrs. Bi heard that her father and son were going to choke, they rushed over with their frail bodies. Just as he entered the door, he saw her husband slap his face, as if she was crazy, she rushed over and blocked her son behind his: ”What are you thinking, are you going to kill him?
