MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 195 Are you going to give up?

  Wen Ning finally asked Duan Rushuang to watch a circus in the suburbs of Beijing.

  She felt that she still hadn't figured it out.

  It's like the time when Pei You said to "make a deal" with her and asked her to marry him. Intellectually, she is very clear that the position of Prince Pei You is not as simple as he said, and she can be pushed away if she wants to.

  Even if he can push it away, in fact...

  He is very suitable to be a prince.

  He is smart, witty, and strategizing. No matter King Rui or the fourth prince, his talents and abilities are far inferior to him;

  He has ambitions in his chest, and if he can say "how can he save the world if he doesn't join the world", he must have the grand plan and great cause he pursues;

  He also has people in his heart. Whether it is the Jiangnan Academy or the Lingnan epidemic, he has devoted himself to doing it himself.

  No one is more suitable to be the prince than him, and there is no one who can give him more power than the prince.

  It’s just emotionally, when she thinks of the lofty East Palace, and thinks that he will even... be the king of a country in the future, she feels a little out of breath.

  She wanted to talk to Duan Rushuang.

  Duan Rushuang has always been transparent in dealing with the world, chatting with her, maybe there will be a different way of thinking.

  The two made an appointment directly at the Colosseum in the suburbs of Beijing.

  The circus will come to the capital about once every six months, and each time it will lease the venue of the Colosseum.

  Probably because of being bored at home these past few days, Wen Ning felt her heart opened up a lot when she left the capital, and she also became happy after watching the wonderful circus performance.

   "Sister Wen, these people are so amazing! How did they do it?"

   It was the first time for Duan Rushuang to watch a circus, and it was rare for her to lose her usual calmness as a "treasurer". Her cheeks flushed with excitement, "Such a thin bamboo pole and so many silver plates have not been dropped for so long."

   "The lion just now is so scary, my God! But it is so obedient, does the animal trainer understand animal language?!"

  Wen Ning couldn't help but think of the scene of watching street jugglers with Pei You in Jiangning's Oiran Night.

  Ha, fortunately I didn't come with him this time, otherwise wouldn't it be a disappointment?

"Wow!!"

  The tiger jumped over the ring of fire, and Wen Ning exclaimed along with the crowd.

  The two of them didn't change into men's clothes when they went out this time. They had so much fun watching it that they couldn't even wear their hats anymore.

  Looking around, many female family members came to the scene, and they all took off their caps or face scarves one after another, and they looked at each other, and they all took them off too.

"Sister Wen, Dayin's folk customs are becoming more and more open now." Duan Rushuang whispered next to Wen Ning's ear, "You saw that sister-in-law didn't even need to change clothes, Go straight to the doctor."

  After the Lingnan epidemic, Emperor Jiahe seriously promoted the status of medical women in various medical provinces, and issued a decree to allow medical women to serve as errands in medical provinces.

  He Luan discussed with her family, and Wen Tingchun immediately allowed her to be the first female doctor in Beijing.

  Since then, female doctors have often been seen in Beijing.

   Then inexplicably, more and more women showed their faces on the street.

   It seems like a small change, but it has loosened the shackles of women all over the world a lot.

   "Yeah, in a few years, maybe we don't need to change our clothes when we're in business!" Wen Ning replied to Duan Rushuang.

  In her previous life, Duan Rushuang also ran a business as a woman, but she was deviant and aroused criticism.

  But in this life, if things go on like this in the long run, maybe...women businessmen can also enter and exit various chambers of commerce just like female doctors.

  Wen Ning naturally thought of Pei You again.

  Look, a wise monarch benefits the people all over the world.

  If Pei You becomes the prince, she believes that he can take over the mantle of Emperor Jiahe.

   After watching the circus, the two went back to the city together, and Wen Ning took Duan Rushuang to have dinner with her.

   "Sister Wen, won't you go back home to eat with your son?" Duan Rushuang used to say "sensible".

   "He's been busy with business recently, so he doesn't have dinner at home." Wen Ning shook Duan Rushuang's arm, "Let's go together, let's just have something to ask you to give me advice."

   Duan Rushuang smiled, and naturally no longer declined.

   The two went to a newly opened Lingnan restaurant.

  After the Lingnan epidemic, Emperor Jiahe not only allocated silver and reduced taxes, but also stimulated the economy of Lingnan from all aspects. As a result, Lingnan products were once quite sought after in Beijing.

  Lingnan restaurants all popped up.

   "What problem did Sister Wen encounter?" Duan Rushuang sat down and got straight to the point.

  Wen Ning held her chin: "Sister Rushuang, do you still remember that you said, 'Everything has its beginning and its end, you can only take care of one end'?"

  Duan Rushuang thought for a while: "Sister Wen has a good memory."

  Wen Ning said distressedly: "I have one thing right now. I know I can't take care of both ends, but I still want to have the best of both worlds in order to achieve perfection. What do you think I should do?"

  Actually, she probably knew why she was upset.

   In the end it was because of the shadows of the previous life.

   This matter was changed to other women. A daughter of a fourth-rank official flew to the branch and became a princess. She must be very happy and honored.

  But since her rebirth, her vision of the future has always been—freedom.

  She wants a lot of freedom.

  She wanted to make up for the ten years she was imprisoned in her previous life.

  For this reason, she would rather marry a widower who has no family background at all, and even has children.

  But the path of the princess is far from what she thought in her heart.

With the title of a princess, she can no longer freely go out and about the streets as before, can no longer run her wine shop and drugstore as before, and can no longer be unhappy like before, running back to her mother's house to hide for a while. hide.

  The rest of her life will be a bigger house than the last, and a bigger house.

  Just thinking about it takes your breath away.

   But can she tell Pei You not to be the prince?

  Pei You and her were just like glue, wishing they could stick to her every day.

  If she spoke, Pei You's perverse temper would probably be able to put down the burden and quit.

   But she can't.

He is obviously a very good prince, he is obviously the son of the palace, he obviously has his own ideals and aspirations, she has no reason to ask him to give up his responsibilities and ambitions because of her own selfishness, and go to the palace. Choose a rougher path.

   It was between these two conflicts that Wen Ning still couldn't figure it out.

  You can't have both, she knows the truth, but she still can't accept it calmly.

   "Sister Wen, this is not very detailed, I don't know how to answer." Duan Rushuang raised her hand and poured tea for her.

  Pei You's life experience has not been made public, and this matter is related to the community, so it is inconvenient for her to speak directly to Duan Rushuang.

"It's like..." Wen Ning thought for a while, "You meet a man you like very much, and he also falls in love with you. You and him have promised each other for life, but one day you find out that his family is rich and won't allow you to go out. In business, you don’t want to let him go, and you don’t want to let go of business, how should you choose?”

  Duan Rushuang held the teacup and turned her head to the side: "Sister Wen, does she mean to seek a completeness between the two?"

   Before Wen Ning could reply, she laughed.

   "Sister Wen, in fact, no matter how you choose, you will not be successful."

  Duan Rushuang looked at Wen Ning with clear eyes: "No matter what you choose, there will always be times when things don't go well in the future."

"If you choose your sweetheart, there will inevitably be friction between husband and wife, and there will always be unsatisfactory things in the backyard. At that time, you will think that you have chosen the wrong one. You even gave up your favorite business because of him. It shouldn't be like this. .”

   "If you abandon your sweetheart and choose a business, how can you do business smoothly? When you encounter difficulties in walking, you will inevitably be greedy for the tenderness you once had with your sweetheart."

   "That's how people's hearts are. What you can't get is always the best."

"But think about it again." Duan Rushuang said after a pause, "If I choose my sweetheart, things may turn out better in the future, and I will encounter things that interest me more than 'doing business'; It may not be impossible to meet a man who is more in line with my wishes in the business field. The world is inherently impermanent, so why bother to draw the ground into a prison, standing in the present, and enclosing your own future?"

   "If it were me, no matter what choice I made, I would think it over and see it clearly, so that I would not leave any regrets in the future and not feel resentment."

  Duan Rushuang said in a slow voice: "Actually, looking at it the other way around, no matter what you choose, you can achieve perfection. It depends on how you think and how you do it."

  Wen Ning is certainly not making a "choice".

  Her girl is so good, how could she put him on the balance and make him the one who might be given up.

  She was just trying to find a way to reconcile with herself from Duan Rushuang's thoughts.

  No regrets...

   In fact, she had a tiny, eager idea in her mind.

  But Pei You... probably won't agree.

-

   "Changed to March 18th? Why?"

  The Qinzheng Hall was brightly lit, and Emperor Jiahe's chess hand was in the air.

  Pei You slightly drooped her eyelids, her face was calm: "The Eastern Palace has not been fully prepared yet, so there is no need to rush to take over. In addition, Zhao He's wedding is at the end of February. It will be more beneficial for her to announce the matter after she gets married."

   Emperor Jiahe raised his eyes and looked at Pei You who had indifferent eyes.

   Didn't expect him to think about Showa.

   A few days ago, Showa asked himself to make peace with the outside of the Great Wall. Although he hesitated, he finally agreed.

  Showa's marriage has been delayed until now. Originally, she wanted to put her under her knees and love her for a few more years, but she didn't want such an accident to happen.

  If she married in Beijing, it would inevitably make her situation even more embarrassing.

   But marrying outside the Great Wall, she is a princess in name no matter what, and Dayin is strong, so she will not be treated harshly.

   "Then March 18th." Emperor Jiahe nodded.

  Although Zhaohe is not his own, after all, he has spoiled her for so many years, and what happened back then cannot be blamed on an innocent child. He is willing to plan more for her.

  As for the position of the Eastern Palace...

  Things have come to this point, and there is no rush for a month or two.

   "Your mother is just recovering from illness, Xunkong might as well go and see her." Emperor Jiahe said again.

  Pei You only raised his hand and made a move, but did not respond.

  Emperor Jiahe sighed: "Excuse me, the empress is also thinking of you wholeheartedly. At the beginning, I objected to my recognition of you. After all, I wanted you to live a happier life."

  Jia and Di himself have not yet reconciled with Xie Nanzhi.

  The quarrel in Fengyi Palace at the beginning was because King Rui was convicted and exiled to Northern Xinjiang. Chu Heng hyped "Congshu" and only lacked evidence. He was disheartened and wanted to admit Pei You back.

  Xie Nanzhi objected.

  He knew that she didn't want Pei You to be constrained by her status, and she didn't want to see him and his wife, the eldest son, become what they are now. But he already had resentment in his heart, no matter what Xie Nanzhi said, he felt that she just didn't want to disclose the matter, and made Xie's family guilty.

  When the quarrel became extremely angry, he also attributed the uselessness of Chu Xuan and Chu Heng to her, and abolished her post.

  Up to now, he can't say that he has no complaints towards Xie Nanzhi, but it's different in front of Pei You.

   "I see, the empress also likes Wen's very much, if you take her with you, the empress will be in a better mood and healthier."

  Pei You still didn't answer, just picked up Bai Zi who was surrounded by him, nodded and said: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, please go back home first."

   Waiting for people to disappear in the Palace of Qinzheng, Emperor Jiahe shook his head and sighed.

  This kid, I don't know if his temperament followed him or Xie Changyuan.

   Screwed very much.

   On the way back to the Duke's Mansion, the carriage stopped for a moment at Zhufang Pavilion.

  Gu Fei hurried into the store, took out a box, hurriedly handed it into the carriage, and whipped the horse again.

  The lights in the car were lit, Pei You opened the box, and there was a gold bracelet inside.

  Vulgar is a bit vulgar, but since he married Wen Ning, he has only given her a wooden hairpin. It is also because of the custom of making hairpins for newlyweds in Lingnan.

  Recently, the little girl may have some thoughts in her heart, and he was negligent after all.

  Wen Ning and Duan Rushuang stayed in the restaurant for more than an hour. Looking at the sky, they guessed that Pei You was about to return home, so they said goodbye to her.

  As soon as he went back, he saw that Pei You was already at home, and his clothes had been changed.

   "Are you so early today?" She greeted the person in front of the table in a good mood, "I came back after dinner with sister Rushuang."

   "I've been out all day, I'm going to take a shower first."

  After taking a shower, Wen Ning burrowed into Pei You's arms.

   "What are you looking at?" Wen Ning raised his head to look at the things in his hand.

  Before she saw it clearly, Pei You had already closed the document and threw it aside: "Did you have a good time today?"

  Wen Ning nodded again and again: "It's wonderful! The last time I saw a circus was..."

  She almost blurted out "ten years ago", but paused: "It's still too late."

   "I'd like to see what you looked like before you reached Ji." Pei You gently brushed her half-dry hair.

  Wen Ning froze for a moment, blinked, and planned to get down from his lap, but he grabbed her wrist, and her hand felt cold.

  She looked down and saw that it was a bracelet.

   Made of gold, inlaid with blue-green turquoise.

  She raised her hand.

  Her wrists are already fine and white, but they look even better with this lining.

   "What did you draw?" Wen Ning asked.

  Pei You raised his eyebrows: "How can you tell?"

  Wen Ning tilted her head: "Intuition?"

  What he does is outstanding, such a unique bracelet can only come from his handwriting.

   "It looks good." Wen Ning smiled and kissed him, "I like it."

   As he spoke, he was about to jump off his knees again.

   Pulled by Pei You again: "That's it?"

   "I'm a little thirsty..." Wen Ning whispered.

   When I came back, I didn't drink tea. I just finished taking a bath, and I was even thirstier.

  Pei You held the back of her neck: "I'll help you."

  The lips and teeth meet, and the sound and shadow float.

  Hey, it's been so long, and I'm still so clingy.

   "What are you thinking again?" There was a bit of concern in the voice, and she was directly placed on the table.

  Bending down, she was completely enveloped by him.

   "Today is here?"

  Wen Ning was so dazed by his kiss, there was still a sliver of reason in her mind.

  Is there such a pattern? here...how here...

   Before she could protest, Pei You had already told her what to do here.

asshole.

   Still cooperate after all.

  When it was over, I didn't dare to open my eyes to look at the elegant place that used to be full of words and ink.

  Pei You kissed her tears away, and carried her back to the couch.

   Unconventional places also require unconventional effort.

  Wen Ning's strength was drained, and she lay motionless on the bed, wishing she could be spread into a quilt.

  Pei You was very refreshed, put out the candles, hugged her into her arms when she went to bed, and kissed the top of her hair.

   "Today, I discussed with His Majesty and pushed the date to March 18th."

   Still have the strength to speak.

  She couldn't keep her eyes open.

etc.

  Push the day back to March 18th?

  Wen Ning turned around and looked up at Pei You in the dark.

  By the thin moonlight, one can still see the laziness of satiation exuding from his body, and there is even a bit of **** in his eyes that has not yet dissipated.

   "Those days when you were ill, I didn't discuss it with you. One more month of psychological preparation should be enough?" His voice was still hoarse.

  He noticed that she was restless recently, and thought she was a little late to react?

  Seeing that she was silent, he fondled her hair: "Tired?"

   "Sleep." He kissed her forehead again.

  Wen Ning was in a state of confusion for a moment.

  Pei You is still so sensitive, and as she expected, so considerate of her feelings.

  They have done such intimate things, what is on her mind...

   Shouldn't I also have an open and honest talk with him?

  Wen Ning pondered for a while, then said softly: "Pei You, there is something I want to discuss with you."

   "Huh?" Pei You sounded a little sleepy, "Say it."

  Wen Ning rubbed against him: "Pei You, tell me, is it possible... let me go out to Beijing for a while?"

   "Playing? Where do you want to go?"

   "Just... I used to like reading various local chronicles. I have never been to many places in Dayin."

   If she said she has no regrets, her biggest regret is probably this.

  I have planned too many times, dreamed too many times, but never really went out once.

  She has a little bit of it, and she wants to try it out, what it feels like to be truly free and unrestrained.

   "I want to go out for a while and look around." Wen Ning carefully looked at Pei You's expression, "What do you think?"

  Pei You closed his eyes, and he didn't seem to have any special reaction: "Da Yin has a vast territory and many cities."

  He asked quietly: "How long do you want to go?"

Eh?

   Is this a joke?

  Wen Ning considered for a while: "One... one year?"

  It takes one or two months to travel on the roads of many cities. Last year, it took them four or five months to go around the south of the Yangtze River.

  One year is really not a long time.

  Pei You remained silent.

   "Pei You?" Wen Ning called softly, "I just..."

   Before she finished speaking, Pei You sat up from the bed.

   "Wen Ning, I'm going to sleep on you." He half-bent his knees, with the front of his clothes still open, looking at the expression of a betrayer, "Are you going to abandon me all the time?"
