Chapter 8 Ask Pei Yanli for help with household registration
"I told Dad that the food you cooked, Shuyi, was delicious, so Dad came back with us." My sister ran over and said as if to take credit.
Then he asked, "Shuyi, did you buy pineapples?"
The corners of Cheng Shuyi's mouth twitched.
My dear daughter, thank you!
Your mother almost got caught.
Forget it.
The child just wants to see his father, there is nothing wrong with that.
"I bought it. It's in the kitchen..."
Before Cheng Shuyi finished speaking, the little girl ran into the kitchen and came out with a pineapple with golden leaves in her arms.
Head straight towards Pei Yanli.
"Dad, help me peel the pineapple. I want Shuyi to make me some pineapple pork ribs."
The soft and tender little girl ran up to him holding a golden fruit.
Pei Yanli wanted to give her the best things in the world.
Cheng Shuyi knew the little girl's personality and knew that she could easily get along with anyone.
In modern times, she is the beloved fortune-bringing treasure in the B&B.
Brought her a lot of business.
Now that he is so close to Pei Yanli, it is impossible to drive him away.
Cheng Shuyi followed them and cast a glance at Pei Yanli, "Your Highness, please stay and have dinner with us."
This is a good opportunity to talk to him about the household registration process.
But Pei Yanli didn't look at her.
Indifferent person.
Cheng Shuyi complained about him in her heart, then turned and went into the kitchen.
Cooking with a wood stove is one of the characteristics of the homestay.
Guests choose to stay in B&Bs because they want to get close to nature and return to the countryside.
Therefore, Cheng Shuyi was very adept at using the wood stove.
She bought all the dishes ordered by both children.
A basin of water was brought out and placed on the ground, and the prawns were poured into the basin. The two cubs automatically moved small stools to help pick out the shrimp threads.
The prawns were what they wanted to eat, and Shuyi cooked for them all by herself. She used to cook for guests as well.
She is too busy.
So the two children often help with things.
They started picking vegetables, wiping tables and entertaining guests when they were three years old.
Cheng Shuyi marinated ribs and chicken wings in the kitchen. She also bought a sea bass.
Fish has its own unique nutrition that cannot be replaced by anything else.
When it comes to raising children, Cheng Shuyi hopes to give them the best.
Smoke rose from the kitchen, and in the yard two children were helping, playing, talking and laughing.
Pei Yanli had never imagined such a simple and happy life.
As the regent of the current dynasty, he checks and balances the forces of all parties.
Although you are in a high position and have great power, you still need to be careful and take every step carefully.
Anyone you see around you may be someone's spy or someone's subordinate.
They approached him with a purpose.
Even Cheng Shuyi was like this six years ago.
No, or rather.
Today, Cheng Shuyi is still approaching him with a purpose.
"My Lord, give me the pineapple."
The spareribs were put into the pot, and Cheng Shuyi came to Pei Yanli to ask for pineapple.
Pei Yanli still didn't give her any expression and handed the thing in his hand over.
“…”
Cheng Shuyi looked at the pineapple flesh in her hand that was almost peeled, and she peeled another one for herself.
She cut half of the peeled pork ribs and put them in the pot together with the one peeled by Pei Yanli to cook the ribs, and soaked the other half in salt water.
As the sky darkened, the moon rose.
The weather becomes cooler and clearer at night.
Cheng Shuyi set up a table in the yard and lit a candle. "It's time to wash your hands and eat."
The two children pestered Pei Yanli with questions and listened to his stories about the court.
Too.
Apart from what happened in the court, Pei Yanli really had nothing to share with his two children.
Pei Yanli was dragged by two children to wash his hands.
This was the first time he ate without a servant standing behind him.
There were five dishes on the table, but Pei Yanli only recognized one steamed fish and one stir-fried vegetable.
Before he even started eating, the two children started putting food into his bowl.
"Dad, Shuyi's cooking is the best. Eat it."
"Dad, please eat some prawns. There are no prawns in my hometown."
These days, when they were eating in a restaurant, they asked the waiter, but the waiter said he didn't know what prawns were.
Cheng Shuyi looked at the two kids who had forgotten their mother once they had a father, and silently ate their food.
Pei Yanli seemed to have noticed something.
When I raised my head, I met Cheng Shuyi's resentful eyes.
His expression was indifferent, but for the first time in his life he raised his eyebrows at her.
Then he picked up the food the two children picked for him and ate it slowly.
Cheng Shuyi was stunned and was so angry that he almost died!
What does he mean?
Provocation or showing off?
In that case, she won't be polite.
"Your Highness, I want my two children to attend the nearby White Horse Academy, but admission requires a household registration, and we don't have one."
"You have a household registration." Pei Yanli corrected her, "You are an exile, a slave."
Those who were exiled were all considered slaves.
Pei Yanli was just about to ask her, "You weren't in exile these six years. Where were you?"
He sent so many people and searched the entire Exile County but couldn't get any news about her.
Cheng Shuyi lowered his head, not knowing how to answer this question.
At the same time, she felt embarrassed and awkward because he told her that she was a slave in front of her two children.
The atmosphere suddenly became subtly tense.
The younger sister glanced at the two of them and asked, "Shuyi, what is slavery?"
Pei Yanli could allow his two children to be registered as officials with him, so he didn't care about Cheng Shuyi's feelings.
"Slavery was the lowest and most humble status in the Great Sheng Dynasty..."
"Looking forward to it!"
Cheng Shuyi spoke urgently, interrupting Pei Yanli and changing the subject.
"I went to the White Horse Academy to get the exam questions today. After you finish your meal, go back to your rooms and do the questions. You've fallen behind in your studies."
After saying that, she cast a pleading look at Pei Yanli.
She begged him not to mention her slave status in front of the two children.
Give her some face.
Pei Yanli slowly withdrew his gaze and asked, "Have the children ever been to school?"
Are there private schools in a place like Exile County?
"Yes," the older brother answered quickly, "My sister and I started school when we were three years old. Shuyi took us there."
"In that case, then you can go to the palace and study with the Grand Tutor along with the princes and princesses."
If his children want to go to school, they must go to the best.
Cheng Shuyi disagreed, "No, no, just let them study at the White Horse Academy, it's more comfortable there."
Enter the palace to study.
In the end, they either become companions to the princes and princesses, or become victims of political marriages.
Besides, there are so many rules in the palace.
The two children came from modern times. If they accidentally offended someone in the palace or let something slip, they would be finished.
Pei Yanli was used to being superior and would not tolerate others disobeying him again and again.
"How can you say no to what I want to do?"
The man's tone was as cold as the wind, and he acted like a regent.
Just like he wanted to kill her with a sword in the inn a few days ago.
Cheng Shuyi couldn't help but shudder.
That night six years ago, she had been frightened by him in the same way.
She was willing to take risks back then, and she is willing to take risks today as well.
Cheng Shuyi bravely met Pei Yanli's gaze and said, "Your Highness, Qiqi and Xuxu are my children. I don't want them to enter the palace."
“Bang!”
The chopsticks in Pei Yanli's hand were broken, and he curled his lips in a sarcastic smile.
"I forgot that you are a woman who is willing to climb into my bed in order to kill your entire family."
My lord, the world has gone crazy.
Cheng Shuyi didn't take this humiliation to heart at all.
Besides, she is about to die, why should she be afraid of him?
Thinking of this, Cheng Shuyi felt even less concerned and replied directly: "Yes, if necessary, I will climb again!"
She had an expression that said, "What are you going to do to me?"
Pei Yanli was so angry that his eyes were about to burst into flames!
He was angry, not because she dared to provoke him.
He remembered that she had drugged him, which made him unable to perform!
