Chapter 414 Awakening
Chapter 414 Awakening
In a few days, they will be busy and will not have so much time to stroll around, so while there is still time now, Pei Yu plans to take Shen Li for a walk more often.
After eating vegetarian food, the two took a short rest in the woodshed and then went down the mountain.
Before Pei Yu went down the mountain, he donated five hundred taels of incense money to the temple.
Shen Li admired in her heart that there were still many rich people in the capital, especially in this regard, but they were not stingy at all.
However, Shen Li knew why Pei Yu gave so much money. He simply hoped that his mother's spirit tablet would be well taken care of here.
In the afternoon, the market at the foot of the mountain was still very lively, selling food and toys. After walking around for a while, Pei Yu was holding some small things in his hands, some for girls' use and some for children.
Seeing someone selling fried meatballs in front, Shen Li went to order some. She ate one herself and thought it was pretty good, so she put one in front of Pei Yu's mouth.
"Ayu, it tastes good, you try it."
Pei Yu didn't hesitate and opened his mouth to take a bite. The meatball contained carrots and pork, and it tasted really good.
Zhu Yun saw this scene not far away and frowned slightly. There have been rumors in recent days that there is a woman beside Prince Jingnan and they have a very close relationship. It seems that this girl is the one in front of him.
She behaves in an unconventional way and doesn't look like a lady from a wealthy family, but her appearance and temperament are very good. This girl is very contradictory.
Her gaze was not very obvious, but Shen Li still noticed it and looked sideways at her. Pei Yu, who noticed her movement, also turned his head to look at her.
Being stared at by the two men, although there was no ill will in them, Zhu Yun still felt the pressure doubled.
She came forward with her maid and nanny, "Meet the prince."
Pei Yu said "hmm", "I wonder what's the matter Miss Zhu?"
Zhu Yun shook her head, "No, I have never seen a woman like you, so I looked at her a few more times. Please don't blame me, my Lord and Miss."
Pei Yu looked at Ah Li, and seeing that she was not angry, he said, "Miss Zhu, please do as you wish."
Seeing that he ordered them to leave, Zhu Yun bit her lips under her veil, and finally spoke under Pei Yu's somewhat displeased gaze.
"My Lord, what is the relationship between this girl and you?"
Pei Yu's face instantly turned cold. "No matter what our relationship is, it has nothing to do with Miss Zhu."
This was very impolite, and Zhu Yun was embarrassed, saying, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood me. I just wanted to make friends with this girl, and I didn't have any other intentions."
Pei Yu was about to speak when Shen Li stopped him. She could see that Miss Zhu in front of her might not like Pei Yu, but Pei Yu was powerful and influential, like a big piece of fat meat, not to mention that he was a prince, so everyone wanted to take a bite.
"Ms. Zhu, my name is Shen Li, Pei Yu's fiancée."
Zhu Yun nodded, still with some shock in her eyes. This girl could actually call Pei Yu by his name. It seemed that she was really Pei Yu's fiancée.
When Pei Yu was not yet the King of Jingnan, few of his peers dared to address him by his name, and all the men who called him by his full name were subdued by him.
Having learned from the previous experience, the girls in Beijing dared not call him by his name anymore.
"So Miss Shen is the prince's fiancée. I am really ignorant. I wonder whose daughter she is?"
The expression on her face was kind, and her tone of voice was gentle, without any malice in it, but this made Shen Li feel confused.
"Miss Zhu, you are worrying too much. I don't have a noble status, nor am I a rich lady. I am just an ordinary peasant girl."
After hearing this, Zhu Yun did not show any disdain on her face. "How can a girl like this be an ordinary peasant girl?"
To be honest, she didn't believe that a peasant girl could have such a temperament. If this Miss Shen didn't have such a fierce aura, she might have believed it.
"Miss Shen is joking, you..."
Pei Yu saw that she kept pestering him, and his expression became even colder than before.
"Ms. Zhu, my fiancée and I have something else to do."
Zhu Yun was wearing a veil, so even though she was embarrassed, it was impossible to see the expression on her face clearly.
She leaned forward and bowed, "I am sorry for wasting your time."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left with her maid and nanny.
Pei Yu looked at Shen Li, "Ah Li, Zhu Yun is not as kind as she appears to be. There is no need to say more to her."
"okay, I get it."
What Shen Li didn't know was that there were many female members in the Zhu family, and Zhu Yun could become Prime Minister Zhu's most valued granddaughter, and could also manage the backyard of the Zhu family. This person must be no simple person.
"Miss, King Jingnan treated you like that, aren't you angry?"
Zhu Yun shook her head, her lips curled up slightly: "Why are you angry? I knew exactly what I wanted from the beginning to the end. Why should I be angry about such a small matter?"
"But the prince already has a fiancée, you..."
"So what? I don't like him. I just want to use his power. Why should I care who he likes?"
The maid shut up, it was really not easy for their young lady.
After Zhu Yun finished speaking, he frowned slightly. How come the King of Jingnan suddenly had a fiancée?
I don’t know if things at the Wanshou Festival can go smoothly. If not, I have to go back and discuss it with my grandfather. If something goes wrong, all my efforts will be wasted.
"Go, go home."
Without being disturbed by outsiders, the two of them visited every stall in this small market before returning home. At the same time, there were many more small things in the carriage, all of which were food and daily necessities.
I originally wanted to take Shen Li out the next day, but the weather was not good. It started to drizzle and the weather suddenly turned cold.
"Ayu, what do you think is suitable for eating today?"
Shen Li was wearing a light aqua blue jacket, leaning against a pillar, watching the drizzle outside the corridor.
Pei Yu chuckled, "I know, have someone prepare it so we can have it at noon."
"I have several farms in the suburbs of Beijing. If you want to eat anything else, I'll have someone bring it back."
“Are there any dishes?”
Vegetables in Beijing are more expensive than meat, especially after winter, the prices are getting more outrageous every day.
"Yes, there is a greenhouse on the farm, and some vegetables are grown there. Even if there is nothing there, I will definitely get you what Princess Jingnan wants to eat."
Shen Li raised her eyebrows, "Ah Yu, don't brag too much, or you might end up blowing it out."
Pei Yu took a few steps closer and held her hand, "It doesn't matter if it gets blown. I don't have much face in front of Ah Li, so it's better not to have it."
