Chapter 103: Your wife is Yunxi, not Mu Yuanzhi

Could it really not be a dream? What is it?

Pei Shangyan followed closely behind: "Little sister Zhi, do you know something? Tell me!"

I have nothing to say to you! Get lost!

Little sister Zhi!

Crown Prince Brother?

As Pei Shangling passed by nearby, he inexplicably ran to Weiyang Palace, and ended up seeing Pei Shangyan chasing after Mu Yuanzhi.

Pei Shangyan had no choice but to stop and turn around: "Lao Si, why are you here too?"

He remembered his brother borrowing his dream-travel pillow, and anxiously asked: "You used the dream-travel pillow; did you have any dreams?"

Pei Shangling shook his head: "No, I think it might be because I didn't sleep in the Imperial Observatory."

No?

Pei Shangyan also couldn't say whether that was the reason; he said: "That day at the Imperial Observatory, the National Teacher also burned Tibetan incense, so perhaps it's related."

"I originally planned to go to the Imperial Observatory today, but my younger sister came, and Xueer told me that Xiao Yichen didn't even share a room with my younger sister!" Speaking of this, Pei Shangling became angry.

They just got married, and Xiao Yichen dares to neglect his wife—what will happen next!

"I never expected that even after marrying the younger sister, Xiao Yichen would still behave like this."

Even if he can't forget Little Sister Zhi, he shouldn't treat his wife so coldly!

Let's go find him together.

Okay!

Pei Shangling glanced back at Weiyang Palace and asked Pei Shangyan: "What happened to Mu Yuanzhi?"

"She..." Pei Shangyan sighed softly, "She said my dream isn't a dream—it's real."

"Crown Prince Brother, what exactly did you dream?" Pei Shangling asked again.

He was really curious.

Pei Shangyan originally didn't want to say it, but now he felt he should, as having another person analyze would be helpful.

So he told Pei Shangling the whole story of the dream.

Pei Shangling listened and said: "I thought it was something else; it must just be a nightmare."

Although he also wanted to know why, after using the pillow, he neither dreamed nor could sleep, his subconscious still thought it was just a dream—aren't dreams usually that exaggerated?

Pei Shangyan shook his head: "It's too real."

He also wished it were a dream, wished that Little Sister Zhi had just been speaking angrily earlier, but he really minds it.

"Never mind, let me first lie down and have a dream before we talk." Pei Shangling changed his mind and first went to the Imperial Observatory.

As it turned out, the National Teacher wasn't there, so Pei Shangling had to take the initiative and grab some Tibetan incense.

Leaving the Imperial Observatory, they went together to the Princess's Residence.

"Has Princess Mu Yuanzhi returned?" Upon entering the Princess's Residence, Pei Shangyan's first question wasn't whether Xiao Yichen was there, but whether Mu Yuanzhi was there.

"Your Highness, Princess Mu Yuanzhi has already returned; she seems to be resting in the courtyard."

She's resting, so we shouldn't disturb her.

Pei Shangyan feared he would anger Mu Yuanzhi again.

"Let's go find Xiao Yichen first—where is your Prince Consort?"

"The Prince Consort is planting flowers in the garden, apparently because Princess Yunxi once said she wanted more flowers in the garden," the servant said.

"Hmph, at least he means well." Pei Shangling snorted coldly.

Perhaps Xiao Yichen really neglected his wife last night because he was injured.

"Brother Chen is planting flowers for me?!" Pei Yunxi, who had just returned, asked delightedly.

"Little sister, you can relax now—don't overthink it." Pei Shangling said, "Come on, let's go find him."

"I'm not overthinking." Pei Yunxi pouted.

She had only said it offhand, but Brother Chen really remembered and acted with great energy.

She really shouldn't have doubted him.

Pei Yunxi walked ahead, cheerful, but upon reaching the garden and seeing the courtyard full of plum blossoms, her smile froze.

Weren't these plum blossoms originally planted in Changle Palace?

The plum blossoms planted in Changle Palace are all Mu Yuanzhi's favorites!

Because she wanted to show off, letting Mu Yuanzhi know that everything would be hers, even though she lives in Changle Palace, she didn't move those plum blossoms that her brothers had planted for Mu Yuanzhi.

Pei Yunxi's tears immediately welled up.

This time she really cried.

Pei Shangling and Pei Shangyan naturally remember that these are Mu Yuanzhi's favorite flowers, not his younger sister's.

Speaking of which, what flowers does my younger sister like?

They glanced at each other, but couldn't recall for a moment.

In their impression, whatever Mu Yuanzhi liked, Pei Yunxi would like too; they used to think the two sisters were really alike, sharing the same preferences—no wonder they're both their good younger sisters.

But now, upon further thought, they felt something was off.

As for what exactly was off, they couldn't put it into words.

"Brother Chen..." Pei Yunxi called out, her voice choking.

Xiao Yichen seemed to have just noticed others arriving; he stopped his movements, stood up, glanced lightly at the three of them, and said, "You've come."

"Xiao Yichen!" Pei Shangling, having regained his composure, immediately went over rudely and pulled Xiao Yichen to the side.

Xiao Yichen frowned, shook off Pei Shangling's hand, as he dislikes being touched by others.

"What happened last night? On the very first day of your marriage, you let my younger sister suffer injustice!" Pei Shangling demanded.

"Which younger sister?"

"Don't keep asking here like you already know the answer! Your wife is Yunxi, not Mu Yuanzhi!" Pei Shangling unconsciously raised her voice, "Get it straight!"

At that moment, Mu Yuanzhi, who happened to be passing by, heard Pei Shangling's angry words. She didn't stop, continuing to cut across the garden as if she couldn't see those people.

All four of them noticed Mu Yuanzhi at once, each with different thoughts, and their gazes were not exactly the same.

Xiao Yichen looked at Mu Yuanzhi, curling his lip and said lightly, "That's not easy to say."

"Not easy to say?!" Pei Shangling was furious, "You bastard, do you even know what nonsense you're spouting!"

Simply!

Pei Shangyan, upon seeing Mu Yuanzhi, couldn't think of anything else: "Little sister Zhi, what a coincidence that you're also in the garden?"

As soon as Mu Yuanzhi arrived, Xiao Yichen's gaze never left her.

Pei Yunxi, seeing this, wanted to cry even more, her tears truly flowing nonstop.

Pei Shangling grew even angrier, pointing furiously at Xiao Yichen: "What's wrong with you? Your eyes seem to be glued to Mu Yuanzhi, little sister is still here, your wife is still here, don't go too far, Xiao Yichen!"

It wasn't much at first, but after Pei Shangling's shout, Pei Yunxi's face burned with pain.

She then began to wipe her tears with her sleeve.

Xiao Yichen's tone remained just as indifferent: "I haven't forgotten; I don't need you to remind me."

"You!" Pei Shangling, infuriated by Xiao Yichen's shamelessness, was so angry she lost the ability to speak, her chest heaving severely.

No, they can't live together; over time they'll develop feelings!

But this is the Father Emperor's decision—what can we do?

"Brother! Haven't you seen how your sister-in-law is crying?!"
