Chapter 143 Party
Chapter 143 Party
"Since she's willing, let everyone keep it. But our accountant won't pay for it, so let her pay for it herself."
Pei Xu raised his eyelids and said lightly.
It's not that he is stingy, but Chunzhi is calculating too much by using his money to do a favor.
"Of course. Even if we have money, we can't let her take advantage of us."
Fu An smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will make her lose a layer of skin this time."
After all, when they return to the palace, there will be a lot to do and more places to spend money.
Every penny saved counts right now.
"Keep a close eye on those people. Don't let anything go wrong. We should go back in a few days."
It is impossible for Pei Xu to hide in the Firearm Camp for the rest of his life. When the time is right, he, the long-lost Prince Su, will naturally have to go back, otherwise he will really be doomed to death.
If the court announced his death, it would be difficult for him to come back to life.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'll be watching you all the time."
Fu'an has been with Pei Xu for so long, so naturally he is not a stupid boy who knows nothing.
"When we return to the palace, it will be smooth and there will be no accidents."
Fuan said this with certainty, and he had the confidence to say so.
After so many years of deploying troops and swallowing their anger for so long, they have been waiting for this day.
"I always trust you to do things."
Pei Xu nodded, his eyes turned, and he spoke again: "We have been in the Firearm Camp for a long time, but we haven't had any fun together. Let's get ready, brothers. We will have fun for a few days. When we return to the palace, there will be no such good opportunity."
He did this because he was afraid that there would not be such an opportunity in the future.
Although it may not be nice to say this, but on the battlefield, swords are merciless and who knows when life will come to an end?
Now that we can get together, we should have a good time.
"Yes, I understand."
Fuan agreed and went out to prepare.
Gu Jiaorong squeezed Pei Xu's hand. She knew that no matter whether Pei Xu wanted to fight or not, as things had come to this day, rivers of blood were inevitable.
"My Lord, I am by your side."
Gu Jiaorong knew that he didn't need too much comfort, and he was not such a fragile person.
Sure enough, Pei Xu smiled when he heard this.
He bent down and kissed Gu Jiaorong, with a smile in his eyes.
"Rong'er, I know. I've been waiting for a long time these past few days, so I'm not sad. Besides, I went to the battlefield when I was a teenager, and I know better than anyone that war means bloodshed and sacrifice. All the brothers who followed me also understand this, and we have never feared death."
When Pei Xu said this, he had some of the youthful vigor and ambition he had when he was young.
Gu Jiaorong looked at him with her glass-like eyes, looking at him quietly without saying a word.
"I'm just a little sad. This time we raised our swords, not to protect the people, to drive away the enemy, or to target our compatriots. But high positions are so tempting. Even if I don't do this, others will come to kill me. I have no choice."
If possible, Pei Xu really hoped that his father had not died, his mother had not returned to the fiefdom alone, and that their family had always lived happily together.
But it has already happened, and he will not dwell on the hypotheticals.
Whether it's seeking justice for his father or protecting the people he cares about, he has reasons not to lose this battle.
"Your Highness, do not regret your choice. You have never made a wrong choice. I know your journey has been difficult, and you endured such hardships not just for yourself."
The more Gu Jiaorong lived in this era and the more she understood Pei Xu, she realized that he had many reasons to do so, and she also knew that it was fate that led him to this day.
She thought that if it were her, she might not do as well as Pei Xu.
Pei Xu held Gu Jiaorong's hand tightly. At this moment, only she could give him strength.
"Your Highness, since you are going to have a happy gathering with everyone, you should show your best condition."
Gu Jiaorong tilted her head and looked at the man's handsome face.
She also didn't want to see Pei Xu like this.
Fortunately, Pei Xu adjusted his mood quickly and soon returned to his normal state.
The party was scheduled for the evening, with wine, meat and a bonfire.
Gu Jiaorong sat next to Pei Xu. Although she was only a concubine, everyone in the Dark Firearms Camp already treated her as another master.
Pei Xu had no objection to this.
He had already made a plan and started to implement it as soon as he returned to the palace.
Chunzhi naturally cannot survive. No matter what means she has or what ambitions she has, it has nothing to do with him, and he cannot tolerate her occupying his position forever.
"Everyone, please don't be polite. Today's gathering should just be a family reunion. There is no distinction between master and servant."
After Pei Xu said this, he raised his wine bowl and toasted everyone.
Everyone in the Firearm Battalion had been through thick and thin with Pei Xu, and had gathered with him like this many times before, so they were no longer restrained when they heard this.
In the light of the fire, everyone had a smile on their face.
"Your Highness, since there is no distinction between master and servant, then naturally there is no distinction between statuses here. I will also boldly say that although the young master has not yet been born, the brothers have been looking forward to it for a long time. Therefore, this glass of wine will be toasted to Your Highness and the young master."
What he didn't say was that if he unfortunately died on the battlefield, he would at least have seen the young master today.
Although these words were not spoken out loud, everyone present understood them.
Everyone raised their glasses, and Pei Xu naturally would not refuse their kindness.
"it is good."
Pei Xu drank it all in one gulp, and so did the others.
Gu Jiaorong blinked and wanted to have a drink, but she knew that it was not advisable to drink alcohol during pregnancy.
She quietly pulled Pei Xu's clothes, but looked at him with bright eyes and did not speak.
Pei Xu understood what she meant, but still shook his head.
"Rong'er, try this barbecue. Although it looks rough, they have processed it carefully, and it tastes good."
Since the morning sickness ended, Gu Jiaorong's appetite has slowly returned. Pei Xu recommended it to her, so she opened her mouth and took it to taste it.
"It's really good, and it has a hint of honey sweetness, which makes the meat less greasy."
Gu Jiaorong's eyes brightened. What she loved most in her life was delicious food. Now that delicious food was in front of her, she could no longer think of anything else.
Pei Xu really understood her and knew how to control her.
Gu Jiaorong couldn't help but sigh, but still accepted her fate.
Forget it. Since Pei Xu didn't let her participate too much, she stopped talking and ate obediently.
In fact, she also knew that Pei Xu was doing this for her own good.
Everyone is a familiar figure and can understand Gu Jiaorong's situation, so no one will say anything to her.
