Chapter 27 Agree
Shen Pingjin never expected it to be such a coincidence that she and Yan Jue would run into these two while shopping at a clothing store.
She turned her head to look at Yan Jue, "Husband, how come we and my sister, oh no, the Crown Princess and the others, all happen to meet here?"
Shen Ruixue hadn't expected to run into Shen Pingjin here. She glanced at her wrist, which Su Xuanmao had just released, and felt a mix of disappointment and resentment.
Why is it that from childhood to adulthood, Shen Pingjin could easily obtain what she wanted, while she had to painstakingly use cunning and manipulation to get what she desired...?
She just didn't want to marry the regent, what did she do wrong!
But despite her diligent planning over the past few days, and although the final result was good, His Highness the Crown Prince still reluctantly paid her any attention. Why...?
Thinking about it, her tone couldn't help but become a little sarcastic, "Oh, isn't this the Regent's wife? Long time no see."
Su Xuanmao stood there blankly, especially when he saw Yan Jue and Shen Pingjin holding hands tightly. He felt a pang of sadness. "Pingjin, what a coincidence."
Shen Pingjin simply smiled and said, "Your Highness, it's been a long time. But now that I am the Regent's Consort, it would be better if Your Highness addressed me as the Regent's Consort."
Su Xuanmao trembled. "Since you asked me to do so yourself, then I will call you Regent's Consort."
I thought Shen Pingjin's eyes would be filled with sadness, but to my surprise, her gaze was full of smiles. "Your Highness is very polite."
Su Xuanmao shook his head. "Since the Regent's Consort has personally spoken, how could I refuse?"
What happened that day has always been a knot in his heart. If it weren't for Shen Ruixue's trick of switching the baby, wouldn't the beautiful and charming woman standing next to Yan Jue today be his?
She was so attached to me before...
Su Xuanmao felt a surge of bitterness in his heart. He really wanted to know what was wrong with Shen Pingjin. Her current appearance was truly making him feel as if he were being scratched by a cat.
Upon hearing this, Shen Pingjin felt goosebumps all over her body. "Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness."
Yan Jue remained silent, but Shen Pingjin could feel that the grip on her wrist was gradually tightening.
Shen Pingjin knew what Yan Jue was worried about, so she lowered her head and shook hands with him back.
Yan Jue noticed this subtle movement.
A warmth spread through his heart, like a stone being thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples. He had never known that it felt like someone cared about him.
So what if Su Xuanmao tries to poach her? Yan Jue thought, at least for now, Shen Pingjin doesn't want to be poached.
However, Shen Ruixue, who was standing next to Su Xuanmao, had a completely different state of mind from Yan Jue.
She had initially thought that Su Xuanmao wouldn't speak so tenderly because she was present, but who knew he didn't take her seriously at all.
Her heart trembled, as if she were in an ice cave, and the surging bitterness was about to drown her. She really didn't know what was wrong with her, why she couldn't compare to Chen Pingjin.
She refused to accept it!
Seeing the group's reaction, Aunt Yuyan immediately understood Shen Pingjin's identity.
She had met Yan Jue before. She walked up to Yan Jue and Shen Pingjin, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "This servant greets the Regent and the Regent's Consort."
Yan Jue had just visited the Imperial Capital Clothing Shop not long ago, so how could he not know who the person in front of him was? "Aunt Yu Yan, there's no need for formalities. I've come here today because I want you to make some clothes for my queen."
"This..." Aunt Yuyan was stunned. She really didn't expect that His Highness the Crown Prince and the Regent would think the same thing.
However, compared to this, Aunt Yuyan was more curious about what the eldest daughter of the Shen family, who was called a muddle-headed unlucky girl, was really like.
Aunt Yuyan turned her head and met Chen Pingjin's gaze.
At that moment, Aunt Yuyan was stunned.
Surprise, doubt, confusion...
Aunt Yuyan didn't know how to describe Shen Pingjin's appearance. She only knew that it was no wonder His Highness the Crown Prince was so infatuated with this eldest daughter of the Shen family, and no wonder the Regent readily agreed to marry her, because...
Miss Shen is absolutely stunning.
If the eldest daughter of the Shen family and the second daughter of the Shen family stood together, the second daughter of the Shen family would only appear pale in comparison.
Aunt Yuyan sighed heavily as she thought about it. This eldest daughter of the Shen family was really unlucky. If it weren't for that accident, she would probably be standing next to His Highness the Crown Prince now.
However, her doubts were genuine, because the Emperor had clearly given her a chance to repent, yet this eldest daughter of the Shen family still refused.
Alas, what a pity, what a pity.
Yan Jue placed the fifteen bolts of soft silk in his hand and said politely to Aunt Yu Yan, "Aunt Yu Yan, I came to Yujingfang today for this very matter. I wonder if you have the time?"
Aunt Yuyan came to her senses and looked at Su Xuanmao behind her with some difficulty. "Reporting to the Regent Prince and the Regent Princess, you are unaware that His Highness the Crown Prince also asked me to sew new clothes for him today. Just now, I promised the Crown Princess and His Highness that I would go downstairs to have the clothes made."
Yan Jue frowned slightly. Did this mean he was late?
Yan Jue looked at Aunt Yu Yan, seemingly puzzled, "Aunt Yu Yan, I don't understand, why can't you make two garments at the same time?"
"This..." Aunt Yuyan was somewhat embarrassed.
As everyone knows, there is a rule in the Imperial Palace: if you are making clothes for the royal family, you must never make a second piece of clothing for anyone else unless the person agrees.
Yan Jue is the emperor's cousin, and Su Xuanmao is the emperor's second son. Both are members of the royal family, so she is in a dilemma, unable to agree or refuse.
Aunt Yuyan had no choice but to say, "Your Highness, you are also aware of the rules of the Imperial Capital Clothing Shop. If we violate the rules, our Imperial Capital Shop may become infamous in the capital. Therefore, perhaps..."
Aunt Yuyan looked at Su Xuanmao and said, "Your Highness, why don't you ask His Highness the Crown Prince if it's possible to make two garments at the same time?"
Shen Pingjin frowned slightly. In her previous life, she hadn't come to Yujingfang to have clothes made with Su Xuanmao. At that time, she and Su Xuanmao were deeply in love. On the eve of her return to her parents' home, she received the clothes sent by Su Xuanmao.
Looking back now, Yan Jue did not bring Shen Ruixue to Yujingfang in his previous life. Su Xuanmao simply asked someone to buy the fabric and entrusted Aunt Yuyan to cut the clothes within the specified time and then send them over.
In my past life, I just managed to avoid conflict.
But in this life, it seems that because of her choice, many things that happened afterward were different.
For example, in this situation, if she wants Aunt Yuyan to cut clothes, she must get Su Xuanmao's permission.
Shen Pingjin didn't have any requirements for clothes, but she knew that Yan Jue wanted her to let her father know when she returned to the Shen family that his daughter had not suffered because she married the wrong person.
Thinking of this, Shen Pingjin felt a warmth in her heart.
