After a while, the mother and son arrived at Jufu Inn.

After knocking on Pei Ji's door for a long time, there was no response. "It seems your father is not in the inn. He must have gone out for something. Why don't we go eat first? Your father has an exam the day after tomorrow and he will probably be very busy. Let's not disturb him for now. After the Spring Examination, I will bring you to see him, okay?"

"Okay, I'll listen to Mom..." Pei Zhao was not too disappointed. After all, his father had visited him twice in the academy before.

"Then let's go and have dinner..."

Not long after the mother and son left the inn, Pei Ji returned to the inn. The day after tomorrow was the Spring Examination, and he was called by the dean to the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Examination Hall early in the morning to attend Princess Rongfu's prayer meeting.

Back in the guest room, Pei Ji stood in front of the window and took out a red purse embroidered with gold thread from his sleeve. It was the New Year's money Su Li gave him.

Su Li hasn't come looking for him yet. I wonder if it's because her father-in-law's illness hasn't healed yet...

The nameless feeling of anxiety in his heart surged up again. He frowned, sighed, and raised his hand to close the window.

Here, Su Li took Pei Zhao and hired a carriage to Changming Street, the most prosperous commercial street in the capital.

Su Li soon saw the Yu family's Mingyue Restaurant on this street. She stopped the carriage and took Pei Zhao into the restaurant.

Mingyue Restaurant has three floors. The first floor is an open restaurant, and the second and third floors are private rooms. Su Li doesn't like noisy dining environments, so he naturally chose a private room.

Led by the waiter, the mother and son went to a private room on the second floor. After ordering a few dishes, they asked Pei Zhao about his time at the academy while waiting for their food to be served.

"Look! It's Princess Rongfu!"

"Princess Rongfu is here!"

Suddenly, there were loud and low sounds of surprise coming from outside the window.

Su Li raised her eyebrows when she heard "Princess Rongfu", stood up and walked to the window. Pei Zhao also followed her to the window, but he was too young to reach the window, so she had to pick him up.

On the street downstairs, a luxurious and elegant two-horse carriage was slowly moving forward, surrounded by more than a hundred walking guards with swords.

People on both sides of the street stopped to look at the carriage.

"The princess went to Zhaoming Temple again to pray for the candidates taking the spring examination this year!" someone said.

"That's right. Before every spring examination, the princess would pray for the examinees, hoping that Dajin would produce more talents and make our Dajin more prosperous!" One person spoke excitedly!

"The princess is so devoted to the country and the people. It is truly a blessing for our Great Jin!"

"Of course not! The princess is the lucky star of our Great Jin Kingdom!"

"Yes, yes, the princess is the lucky star of our Great Jin..."

"That's right! Princess Rongfu is the lucky star of our Great Jin. As long as she is here, our Great Jin will surely be peaceful and prosperous..."

"That's right..."

The people became more and more excited as they spoke, and finally they shouted in unison: "Princess Rongfu, the lucky star of the Great Jin Dynasty!"

"The Great Jin Lucky Star!"

“…”

The lucky star of Dajin?

Su Li sneered in his heart.

It is indeed a lucky star.

Princess Rongfu is the only daughter of the late Empress Renxuan and the only legitimate princess of the current dynasty. She has a noble status and is also blessed with a lucky destiny.

The original book said that when Empress Renxuan was pregnant with a princess, Master Wuen predicted that there was purple air surrounding the empress, and that the fetus in her womb, whether it was a prince or a princess, would be a lucky star for the Jin Dynasty in the future.

That year, the Great Jin Kingdom was in the midst of war and turmoil. Three days after Princess Rongfu was born, colorful auspicious clouds descended from the sky. Strangely enough, since the princess was born, there were continuous reports of victory at the border, and the years of war were quickly quelled. Moreover, after that, the Great Jin Kingdom had good weather and bumper harvests for three consecutive years.

The princess's lucky fate was confirmed, and from then on, she became the most honorable princess of the Great Jin Kingdom. She was showered with honors and favors since she was young, and was deeply loved and valued by the emperor and loved by all the people.

However, if these people knew that Princess Rongfu, who they regarded as the lucky star of the Jin Dynasty, was actually a person who committed many evil deeds, I wonder how they would feel.

That’s right, Princess Rongfu is the vicious female supporting character in the original novel who, in order to get Pei Ji, killed the original owner and caused the death and disability of Pei Zhao and his sister!

A vicious female supporting character with a powerful background and noble birth, and a lucky star of the Great Jin Kingdom who has the emperor's back even if he is exposed for all his evil deeds.

From the original novel, she knew that Princess Rongfu had just come from the Ministry of Rites Examination Hall. It was in the Examination Hall that she saw Pei Ji who was going to attend her prayer meeting. She was attracted by his stunning appearance and temperament and fell in love with him at first sight.

After that, she will ask the emperor for permission to marry Pei Ji after he wins the first place in the imperial examination.

Of course, she didn't care whether Pei Ji was married or not. In her opinion, it was a great honor and blessing for a man from the Great Jin Kingdom to marry her. Even if he already had a wife, he should immediately divorce his original wife and marry her in a grand ceremony.

Pei Ji, on the other hand, would directly state that he already had a wife and children, and simply reject her decisively...

As Pei Ji's wife, she had already become a thorn in Princess Rongfu's side when she took a fancy to Pei Ji.

And after Pei Ji rejected her, she would want to get rid of her as soon as possible...

But she wasn't the original owner, and she would never allow herself to follow the original owner's predetermined fate of early death, nor would she allow Pei Zhao and his sister to come to any harm...

"Mom? What's wrong with you?"

Pei Zhao called out to Su Li, who seemed somewhat dazed.

"Um?"

"The food is here, mother..."

Su Li reacted, looked back at the waiter who was serving the dishes, and said with a smile: "Oh, okay, let's eat..."

Then he carried Pei Zhao to the dining table and sat him down.

"Sir, your dishes are here. Please enjoy!" The waiter left the private room after serving the dishes.

There were five dishes and one soup on the table, all of which were Pei Zhao's and her favorites. Su Li poured the soup for Pei Zhao and placed a braised lion's head in his bowl. "Eat."

As she spoke, she picked one up for herself. It must be said that there was a reason why the Yu family's Mingyue Restaurant could be spread across most of Dajin. This braised lion's head was the most delicious lion's head she had ever eaten in her past and present life.

After she finished one, she picked up another one and put it in her bowl. Pei Zhao also picked up a braised lion's head and put it in his own bowl. Looking at the dishes that were cleared in a moment, the mother and son smiled at each other, and then started eating happily again.

They had a late lunch to begin with, and it was already past two o'clock when they finished. Su Li took Pei Zhao out of the restaurant and went shopping on the street.

They went to the clothing store first. Pei Zhao was wearing the uniform of Haohan Academy. Considering that he rarely wore casual clothes, they only bought him one set of casual clothes and several sets of underwear.

"Mom, I have plenty of underwear. You don't have to buy me any." The underwear Pei Zhao was wearing was bought by his master.

"Mother knows, but your master is your master, and mother is mother. Mother wants to buy it for you..."

Mr. Song took care of all of Pei Zhao's food, clothing, and other expenses in the capital. He even arranged for a servant to look after him when he was studying. As a mother, Su Li didn't have to worry about it at all. Now that she was no longer short of money, she naturally wanted to do something for Pei Zhao.
