Chapter 225 Is she going to confess her identity as a spy to me?
Pei Yuxiao turned his head, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, "Oh? What do you mean?"
Fu An naturally complimented, "Master, your handsomeness is unmatched. Even if the guards are all outstanding, when they stand next to you, it's like a crow next to a phoenix, and an earthworm dancing with a dragon. Your divine figure is so breathtaking, why don't those girls look at you?"
"Is there no one who wants to serve you and be a maid in the East Palace?"
Pei Yuxiao smiled softly and tapped Fu'an on the head. "That's because Yanyan disciplined her well. The maids under her are all well-mannered and know the limits."
The handsome phoenix eyes were filled with the pride of a royal son, and he said proudly: "They all understand that my heart is with their masters. Only if Brother Xiu Yan dies in the battle..."
Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Pei Yuxiao quickly stopped talking.
He took out two gold bars from his sleeve and threw them to Fuan, "This is a reward for you. You are so sweet today, and I like you very much."

Soon, the banquet began.
The strange thing is that Pei Yuxiao's guards were very enthusiastic and polite when they toasted and interacted with the girls.
But when they learned that they would be paired with Mu Wanyan's maids, only four of them were willing.
Although Pei Yuxiao offered generous conditions, the Zhaitian family promised countless of them, and even hinted that Princess Mu would give the maids generous dowries, the guards remained unmoved. They insisted on only being with the local women of Dafeng.
Although she was talking about cultural differences, she was secretly complaining in her heart: "What a sin! I sacrificed my rest time for nothing today. We don't have high standards. We don't expect all the maids of Princess Mu to look as beautiful as their masters, but at least they should have some similar demeanor."
"They are big, thick, and shiny black. They must have been exposed to the sun on the grassland for a long time."
Although Pei Yuxiao felt disappointed, he was reluctant to embarrass his subordinates.
He gave generous gifts to the successful matchmakers, and handed the remaining maids over to the maids in the palace, leaving them to do light work in the East Palace.
Fu An shook his head and sighed, "Actually, all of those girls are pretty, but these guards probably compare them with Miss Wanyan."
"It's better if we don't compare. If we do, we'll definitely be disappointed. These rascals, if they are as rootless as I am, they won't be picky."

There are eleven days left until Mid-Autumn Festival.
Mu Wanyan went to the market and bought a fur coat with uniform color and shiny fur.
When she handed the coat to Pei Mochen, even Xiao Shunzi could see the surprise and flattery in King Chen's eyes.
'Is this still the Chen Wang who usually keeps his emotions to himself?'
'How come after finding Miss Luoluo, the prince values Princess Mu even more?'
Xiao Shunzi muttered to himself: "It seems that I have to behave well in front of the princess. The mind of this royal prince is more unpredictable than God."
As for Pei Mochen, he was happy and secretly proud in his heart: No wonder men have married three wives and four concubines since ancient times. Ever since I found Ding Ruolian, Yanyan seems to care about me more.
"It seems that Ding Ruolian cannot be sent away for the time being. Keeping her in the mansion will make Yanyan feel a sense of crisis and try her best to please me. In the end, the one who benefits is me!"
So he cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "I understand your intentions. After the hidden illness is cured, I will definitely not let my beloved concubine down."
Mu Wanyan felt sick in her heart, but she nodded repeatedly.
She handed the fur coat to Pei Mochen with an obedient look, even with some admiration, which made it look like a harmonious couple.
After a while, Pei Mochen took the initiative to find a topic: "Yan Yan, the weather hasn't even turned cold yet, why are you thinking of giving me a fur coat?"
He supported her and wanted to pull Mu Wanyan to sit on his lap, but Mu Wanyan refused on the pretext that palace servants were present.
Pei Mochen: "Don't be shy, you will get used to it in the future."
Making small talk: "You gave me rabbit fur gloves yesterday, why are you going to the market to pick out a gift for me today?"
"Do you miss me? Do you want me to move to Jianjia Pavilion and live with you?"
The corner of his mouth raised, "Then I'll have to think about it carefully."
Mu Wanyan waved her hands repeatedly, "It's a huge misunderstanding. I don't dare to have any extravagant expectations or requests for Mo Chen."
"The reason I gave you these two gifts is because I only allow others to owe me, but not myself to owe others." Especially a treacherous villain like you.
She swallowed the last part of the sentence back. Now was not the time to scold him.
Pei Mochen raised a playful smile and asked softly, "Yan Yan, what do you owe me?"
His deep eyes narrowed slightly, as if expecting a secret to be revealed.
If Yanyan could be honest with me right now and tell me that she is actually a spy sent from Xichang, it would mean that she is willing to betray her country for me.
With such courage, I can choose to forgive her and won't mind her calculations against me.
Pei Mochen gently placed his hands on Mu Wanyan's shoulders, and his expectant phoenix eyes looked straight at her, as if to encourage her.
One second, two seconds, three seconds... time seemed to have frozen.
Pei Mochen cleared his throat again and said seriously: "Yan Yan, go ahead and talk. I'm listening!"
"Don't be afraid, just speak up. I can accept whatever you say!"
