Pei Jin had left her room at the crack of dawn when everyone was sleeping. He didn't feel shame for having Yusheng before marriage. Still he didn't want others to see her as a loose women.
Early morning Yusheng woke up to find herself alone. She was changed along with the sheets, her cheeks turned red from the yesterdays memories.
After calming down she felt there was nothing wrong with the matter as there heart and soul were already one.
Xiaoqing enters to help her wash up. Upon entering she finds Yusheng glowing. She felt a little strange but soon had the matter thrown back of her mind. While busy with serving she didn't even realize that the sheets had changed.
Yusheng finds adults sipping on tea and waiting for everyone to eat breakfast. After a round of greeting she is served with tea. The adults felt something different on seeing Yusheng today.
She had glow on her face, her feminity oozing more than before. But soon they to didn't think further as the younger ones were entering the room.
Pei Jin went and sat beside Yusheng getting many of the eyebrows raised. Pei Jin without care for others start to to serve her the warm dishes and soup.
He too had noticed the changes in Yusheng and unlike others feeling strange he was happy. This glow was the effect of them having bonded thoroughly.
He had dissolved the birth prevention pill in yesterday's bath so he was not worried of Yusheng getting pregnant before marriage. Even after marriage he wanted some time with just the two of them without any third wheel.
For it to happen he had searched high and low for this pill which didn't have any side effects later on. He also had send a third party to medicine valley to check its quality. First elder himself had given clear way for the pill.
Yusheng ate everything that was served by Pei Jin unlike yesterday. The adults realised that the couple has reconciled and we're happy for them. Only the emperor felt the time was very less and that Yusheng should have been angry a little anger.
Pei Jin clearly knew his fathers thoughts hence giving a smirk he decided to take revenge as his plight was enjoyed by his father yesterday.
"Fuhuang...this son heard about you having some old sweetheart in Jing.. also that you had someone search for that person?" Pei jin drops the bomb very calmly.
Emperor was glared by many eyes beside prime minister who knew the truth. With thin sweat on his forhead emperor glares at Pei Jin and roars "you.. nonesense.. where did you hear such thing.. it's..it's blasphemy to zhen" then looking at his wife who was close to exhale fire from her nose he immediately fawns.
Beloved wife.. it is not true ah.. not true.. Zhen doesn't have any sweetheart.. this..is utter nonsense..how could Zhen have a sweetheart..you and I have been together for so long.. and Jing is your home.. how could I have hidden this matter..
Empress snorts and refuses to listen to his explaination. She slams her chopsticks on the table with bam and was about to stand up. When emperor clutches at her arm as if fighting for his life.
"Beloved wife..Zhen is not lying ah.. yes.. ask your brother he knows the truth of the matter..brother in law.. hurry explain the matter to your sister..she has taken me wrong.. hurry" pitifully ushers emperor to his brother in law.
Prime minister Chen felt headache and helplessly explains to his raging sister "Xiaxu..emperor is not at fault..he indeed has send for a person to look..she is not some sweetheart but rather a widow of emperors friend who passed away in battlefield.. she has remained widowed her whole life for her late husband.. as a favor of the dying friend emperor has been sending some money and facilities to make her life comfortable...
This time as we are in Jing.. emperor want to look for the person so that he could burn some incense in his grave with her presence.. he was deciding to go with you all.. Pei Jin must have heard incorrectly"
Empress feels better after her brothers explaination but still chides her husband as if to spat out the remaining anger "you should have informed me of the matter.. so it's still your fault"
Emperor goes along with his wife words not daring to say opposing words but still gave a dark look to his son. Who nearly had brought disaster upon his head.
Prime minister too looks at his stingy nephew who had deliberately created the issue. He sighs at this father and son pair who loved to see each other in unfortunate situation with their women's.
Emperor having nearly faces disaster no longer irked Pei Jin. The table returned to warm atmosphere with chats and laugh. Everyone had felt the slight changes on Yusheng but unable to pin point they decide it was due to reconciliation.
