Chapter 38 Don’t they know that Shen Yuning is my fiancée?
“Xingzhi——” Shen Yuning stopped her, “Stop talking, General Pei has eyes, let him see for himself.”
She turned around and wanted to leave, not wanting to say another word to him.
Pei Yanzhou said anxiously: "Chen Yuning, you don't even want to talk to me now? Is what I said wrong?"
But at this moment, Ye Feng suddenly pulled his sleeve:
"Master, it seems that all the women attending the flower viewing banquet today are wearing the same dress!"
He pointed to several women wearing the same clothes on the other side of the lake and said, "Master, you have misunderstood Doctor Shen!" Pei Yanzhou looked in the direction of Ye Feng's finger and saw several women chasing and playing.
Some were tall, some were short, some were fat, some were thin, but without exception, they were all wearing the same apricot-colored gauze, exactly the same as the one worn by Shen Yuning.
The young eunuch serving tea and water chimed in, "General Pei, the dresses for the young ladies at today's flower viewing banquet were personally chosen by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"The prince prefers plain and elegant clothes, not flashy colors, so he arranged for every girl attending the banquet to wear the same dress."
"The clothes were specially made by the palace's clothing bureau. They are light, elegant, and dignified..."
Pei Yanzhou didn't hear the last few words clearly. He just felt his face turn red and he felt very embarrassed.
He turned to look at Ana Shen, wanting to apologize, but found that she had already walked away.
Eunuch Shunan came forward with a smile and bowed to Pei Yanzhou: "General Pei, have you just met Doctor Shen?"
"Yeah." He looked very unhappy.
Eunuch Su gave a thumbs-up and couldn't help but praise, "Miss Shen, Nanny Li specially arranged for you to be the medical officer in charge!"
"Today, there are many people and things to do, and there are many young ladies from aristocratic families. I was thinking of arranging a female doctor for the flower viewing banquet, so Nanny Li recommended Doctor Shen to me."
"Doctor Shen has a calm and composed personality. While other young ladies dress up extravagantly, she prefers to be plain—she doesn't wear a hairpin or a necklace..."
Shun An saw shame and guilt on Pei Yanzhou's face, and he smiled again, "Look at my memory. I was so busy that I forgot to mention it to the general. I guess Doctor Shen is still from the Xuanjia Camp."
"I understand..."
Shunan left meaningfully.
The ignorant young man mistook fish eyes for pearls and even rejected such a good person as Dr. Shen. He deserved to be plotted against by Chu Ruyan.
Pei Yanzhou stood there in a daze for a long while, and after a while he told Ye Feng, "Ye Feng, go get my cloak and give it to Shen Yuning."
"Just say...just say it's windy today, don't let her catch a cold. If she does, I, I won't grant her leave!"
Ye Feng: “…”
He held the cloak in his hand and asked hesitantly, "Master, anything else?"
"Like... an apology or something?"
"I told you about it when I went to deliver the cloak."
Pei Yanzhou raised his eyebrows and raised his voice: "What have I done wrong?"
"If you're a female doctor at the flower viewing banquet, you should wear proper medical robes!"
"Can't she be more content? Can't she learn from my Yan'er?"
Ye Feng opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but he could only explain: "Master, Miss Chu has a rash on her face and a high fever. She can't leave the house for more than half a month..."
"Even if Yan'er is in good health, she has always been aloof and would never attend such a banquet!" Pei Yanzhou replied unconvinced.
Ye Feng cupped his hands, "Yes, Master is wise!"
You will see in a moment whether Chu Ruyan will attend the flower viewing banquet.
He trotted all the way to catch up with Shen Yuning and handed the cloak to her:
"Doctor Shen, General Pei asked his men to bring you a cloak. He said it was very windy today..."
Xingzhi took it and threw it back at Ye Feng, "Let your master wear it himself. His outfit today is even more inappropriate!"
Ye Feng: “…”
—
Pei Yanzhou brought Ye Feng and followed Shen Yuning not too far away, with a terribly gloomy look on his face.
Shen Yuning behaved in a low-key manner, trying not to attract other people's attention.
But she was really beautiful. Just her exquisite face and light makeup attracted many young men to watch her.
Before she even reached the main venue, many young men wanted to give her jade pendants or folding fans, but Shen Yuning politely declined them one by one.
Pei Yanzhou clenched his fists and said angrily:
"The young men who come to the flower viewing banquet are either playboys or lechers. How could Shen Yuning not know this? Are you really dreaming of finding your ideal husband at the banquet?"
"Why are you eating so unpleasantly? It's only been a few days since the engagement was broken off and you're already so impatient?"
Ye Feng frowned and reminded: "Master, be careful with your words. This flower viewing banquet was personally organized by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Saying so would be considered disrespectful."
"Besides, Doctor Shen didn't do anything. Didn't you also go to the Chu family to propose marriage?"
"shut up!"
Pei Yanzhou sneered, "Do you think you can just casually discuss the master's affairs?"
"Will I ever be like her? I will never..."
Ben never excluded her. I said I was willing to marry her as a concubine or a co-wife...but she really didn't want me anymore.
A pair of angry Danfeng eyes stared at Shen Yuning not far away.
Pei Yanzhou wanted to go up and wrap her in his cloak, not wanting any man to see her beauty.
However, he felt that it was inappropriate and didn't know what identity he could use to control her.
What's more, all the other women at the flower viewing banquet were dressed up in gorgeous clothes and gold and silver jewelry. Which one of them was not dressed up formally?
In comparison, Shen Yuning’s outfit was already very simple.
It's because she is too beautiful and gorgeous, it has nothing to do with the way she dresses.
Pei Yanzhou sighed. After all, he had wronged her.
"Master, do you want to go up and apologize to Miss Shen?" Ye Feng reminded from the side.
"No need. I am her superior, no need to apologize." Pei Yanzhou said stubbornly, but his heart was already in turmoil.
There have been too many misunderstandings recently. Whether it was the imperial edict to cancel the engagement or the dress issue, he misunderstood her and spoke very harshly.
I wonder what position I hold in Shen Yuning's heart at this moment?
Does she still like him as much as before?
Ye Feng bowed, "Master, if you don't go over and explain clearly, I'm afraid that Doctor Shen will misunderstand you even more in the future."
Pei Yanzhou didn't stop, his tone was filled with a bit of self-mockery and coldness: "Did you see her look just now?"
"She won't even say a word to me, so what's the point of me explaining?"
I thought to myself, Shen Yuning must be extremely disgusted with me now.
Ye Feng pondered for a moment and replied, "Master, you just spoke like that. Even I don't want to pay attention to you..."
"Shut up and follow!"
Pei Yanzhou raised his leg and kicked Ye Feng, then carefully followed behind Shen Yuning.
——
Pei Yanzhou felt very uncomfortable throughout the flower-viewing banquet.
His pair of almond-shaped eyes were cunningly watching Shen Yuning's movements, and he silently took note of every young man who came forward to talk to him.
His unruly face was filled with arrogance - they were all low-class rats who could only get to the top by relying on their father's or grandfather's business. What qualifications did they have to compete with me for a woman?
He muttered to himself and blurted out: “Don’t they know that Shen Yuning is this general’s fiancée?”
