Chapter 202 Song Shi also looked at Gou Peinu
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw a man and a woman walking towards me. They were Pei Zitian and Pei Zixing.
Pei Zitian was dressed elegantly today, looking like a graceful nobleman, while Pei Zixing next to him also used his superb skills to suppress the haggardness on his face. Although he looked a little frail when he moved, he did not look like someone who had been seriously ill for many years. The two of them walked up to the King of Han, bowed and then spoke.
"I have seen the King of Han."
"Your servant greets the King of Han."
Everyone knew that Pei Zitian was Marshal Pei's most beloved son. As for the youngest daughter of the Pei family, Pei Zixiang, she was seen more by the female family members than by the male family members, so everyone looked at her curiously.
Pei Zixing really enjoyed being the dazzling focus of the crowd, and after looking around, the person her eyes first locked onto was Song Shiye.
Maybe it's because both of them are malicious people, so they are particularly attracted to each other. Just a glance at each other is enough to explain what it means to be destined to continue in this life.
Song Shi also collected all the memories of his previous life, and he did not have a deep impression of the young girl of the Pei family. After the Han King's rebellion failed, the only ones who could stand up to support the Pei family were Pei Ziyao and Pei Zimiao.
As for this brother and sister, he really had never heard much about them, so he didn't take them seriously.
But when he saw her today, he felt that Pei Zixing and he seemed to have a mysterious destiny, so he raised his glass and smiled at her, his look no less than that of a charming monster.
Pei Zixing also felt it, so he looked back at him. Even though the two of them had not spoken yet, they had a sense of familiarity. As for the Prince of Han sitting next to him, Pei Zixing didn't even bother to look at him.
As for such a useless ally, she said she could just abandon him, but it was a pity that she had wasted time on him before. But after meeting Song Shiye, she didn't care anymore.
"Okay, okay, everyone sit down. Today is a welcome party for them, so everyone can enjoy a drink."
After the King of Han mentioned this, the two of them went back and sat down, and the banquet began immediately.
This welcoming banquet was mainly hosted by Song Shiye and other officials from Xijing City, so all the singing, dancing and toasts were directed at them.
Song Shiye had a good alcohol tolerance. Although he was not as good as Pei Zisu in drinking a thousand cups without getting drunk, he still accepted all kinds of social engagements and compliments with ease and showed extraordinary magnanimity.
The Prince of Han standing next to him was somewhat jealous of this scene. They were all princes, so why could he come in such a grand manner and be received so well by his father?
Not only was he detained in the palace all day, but he also had to wait to marry a girl from the Xie family whom he had never seen before! He had no idea what that woman looked like or what kind of person she was, and he had to be with someone he had never known beforehand. The Prince of Han was also not convinced.
He raised his head and drank a glass of wine, his eyes swept over Pei Zixiang who was not far away. Although he did not have any true feelings for Pei Zixiang, compared with the girl from the Xie family, Pei Zixiang was still attractive enough to him, so there was a bit more confusion and helplessness in his eyes.
Unfortunately, such behavior was seen by Pei Laoshuai and Pei Zitian.
Pei Laoshuai moved towards Aunt An, just blocking the sight of the Prince of Han. His eyes were so fierce that he was immediately sobered up. He had deep respect and fear for Pei Laoshuai, so he didn't dare to face him too directly. Other officials who didn't know about this thought that Pei Laoshuai was deliberately trying to get close to Aunt An. Thinking of Madam Pei who had been forced to leave Xijing City, they felt that Aunt An was really good at tricking Pei Laoshuai, and she was able to bind his heart for so many years!
Even though she is old, no one can get close to Marshal Pei. Even Mrs. Pei has to stay away from him and live far away. Thinking of this, the men are curious about the abilities of this Aunt An, and the ladies are both jealous and envious of her.
Who hasn’t thought that her husband loves her alone?
But they couldn't do it, so they all hated Aunt An equally.
Aunt An was no longer surprised by such looks over the years, so she did not do anything special. She just hoped that the Prince of Han could restrain himself and not cause trouble for her daughter. Then she toasted to Marshal Pei, as if to provide evidence of their continued friendship.
Pei Zisu was sitting next to them.
He felt very uncomfortable when he saw this scene. He had seen such scenes too many times since he was a child. Although his mother did not feel sad or helpless about it, in his eyes, his father was an unfaithful person.
Even though he knew clearly that the friendship between Aunt An and his father came first, he still felt that his father was not a responsible man. If he could really die for Aunt An, then he, as a son, naturally couldn't say anything.
This is what he feared the most: on the one hand, he wanted to get married and have children, but on the other hand, he did cruel things, and the ones who suffered the most under these cruel things were none other than the three brothers and sisters. When he thought of this, his fists clenched tightly, but for some reason, his usually cold and ruthless heart seemed to be injected with a warm current at this moment. In his mind, he thought of Jiang Shiyuan's smiling face, and her reaching out to touch her belly, with an expression of a loving mother cherishing her child, which made Pei Zisu feel relieved a lot.
Yeah, why think so much?
What did these people have to do with him? There was only one thing he had to do now, and that was to take good care of his wife and children. After they landed safely, he would do what a father should do, and he would never be as partial to Huaijiang as his father was.
Thinking of this, his originally tense body suddenly relaxed a lot. He kept raising his glass and drinking without saying much, and he accepted all the toasts. With his alcohol tolerance, he certainly wouldn't get drunk.
The banquet ended peacefully and lively after two hours.
After it was over, Pei Zisu said something to the King of Han, then rode back to the military camp without looking back. Even though it was already getting dark, he didn't care.
The King of Han couldn't help but tease Pei Zisu as he watched him leave.
"He really loves his wife like his life. It's a good thing that his wife is in the army. Otherwise, if the two of them were separated, he wouldn't have the heart to fight."
After the King of Han said this, everyone agreed, except Marshal Pei, who looked unhappy.
Although he could feel the great change his daughter-in-law had brought to his son, he felt that it was inappropriate for a man's ability to achieve success in his career to be mixed with a woman's reputation.
