Chapter 873: The Prince of the Duke's Mansion vs. the Black Lotus Daughter 15
Ji Yunhuan responded with a smile, "The prince was pressed hard by the Duke, so he might not have thought of writing to you. I will ask the prince to send a letter to you another day."
"But these peonies should be sold in batches, otherwise they won't be sold at a high price once the craze is over. You should also share the worries of the prince, and don't wait for his instructions for everything. If you rely on him for everything, what's the point of keeping you?"
Qingsong nodded in agreement. It was strange. Although she was a delicate girl, he felt a bit of the majesty of a prince.
The prince has asked him to entertain well, so it will be right to listen to Miss Ji.
Not long after, a servant came to report, "Master Shen has arrived and is waiting downstairs."
Ji Yunhuan sat firmly in the main seat and said calmly, "Let him come up."
Qingsong also couldn't figure out what the prince was thinking. If he said he didn't like her, he had never seen the prince care so much about any girl. But if he said he liked her, why did he arrange for the young master of the Shen family to meet her? The prince obviously hated the Shen family.
Chen Shen was also extremely cautious. The manager of Yumei Garden sent him an invitation, inviting him to come for a gathering today. Everyone knew that Yumei Garden was the property of Prince Yun, so he dared not not come.
I heard that the Yumei Garden was full of gold and jade, and was extremely luxurious. The people inside were extremely licentious and had fun every night, which was even more unbearable than the Chunfeng Tower. As I walked along, it was indeed magnificent, like a fairyland on earth.
There is a lift that goes directly to the ninth floor, driven by a mechanism and using the stream water flowing down as power.
However, Shen Shen did not have this treatment and could only climb up one floor at a time.
When he first saw Ji Yunhuan, he thought he was seeing things, "Miss Ji? Why are you here? Where's Prince Yun?"
Shen Shen panted heavily and looked around. "There are rumors in the capital that Yun Ye has turned over a new leaf and is studying hard at home, but it is difficult to change a person's nature. I think he is probably hiding in Yumei Garden to enjoy himself. This is not a good place. What are you doing here?"
Ji Yunhuan was playing with a blooming peony, and with a force of his hand, he tore off the priceless imperial yellow robe.
"Mr. Chen is a scholar, but you have spread rumors. Yumei Garden is a place of elegance, but you have exaggerated it beyond belief."
"The prince and I are close friends, so why can't we have fun here? If I hadn't invited you, do you think you would have set foot here? Who are you going to show your stern face to? I hate it the most..."
Ji Yunhuan was almost crying in anxiety, but Yun Ye took over her body and kept talking non-stop.
[Immortal! Please stop talking! We finally meet, please let me talk to him. If you keep scolding him, he will leave...]
Yun Ye was most afraid that this woman would cry, so he floated out reluctantly.
[He's out of breath just climbing the stairs, useless! You treat him like a treasure, you risked your life for him, and copied Buddhist scriptures with all your might, but he questions you as soon as you meet him, huh~ bastard! ]
Shen Shen finally caught his breath. Ji Yunhuan was always quiet and gentle in front of him. This was the first time she spoke to him like this. It was obvious that she was angry.
He also realized that his tone was a bit harsh, so he gently persuaded: "I am also worried about you, afraid that you have been deceived. I know that you are not living well in the Ji family. Unfortunately, we are not engaged yet, and I can't visit you openly. Have you used the medicine I sent? Are you feeling better?"
Ji Yunhuan stood up and bowed to Chen Shen, her cheeks slightly red and her eyes showing shyness.
"Thank you, Master. Huan'er feels much better now! Master Chen repaired my mother's grave when he returned to his hometown. Huan'er has been looking for an opportunity to thank Master Chen in person. I hope Master Chen will not blame me for inviting you rashly."
"I haven't congratulated Master Shen on his success in the imperial examination, but I've been recuperating at home and have no chance to see you riding a horse in the parade. This is a gift, please accept it."
Mi Xue quickly took out a sachet, which was embroidered with green bamboo, which was quite elegant.
Shen Shen took it with both hands, his heart felt like it was soaked in a honey pot, he had always been fond of Miss Ji, he liked bamboo, Ji Yunhuan also knew that, such a gift, for a shy person like Miss Ji, was already a straightforward expression of love.
He hid the sachet in his arms and said, "I will treasure the gift from the young lady and keep it in a safe place."
"I just don't know what the young lady and Master Yun have to say. It's not easy to enter the Jade Plum Garden."
[Humph! You black-hearted guy, everything he sees is dirty! What is he insinuating? The way intellectuals talk is just annoying! ]
The immortal was very angry, but Ji Yunhuan remained calm. Men always care about a woman's chastity, so it was okay to ask one more question.
She did think Chen Shen was a good man, but there wasn't much love between them. If she married Chen Shen, she would definitely fulfill her duties as a wife, help him manage the family business, and have children.
Shen Shen is already the best family she can get at the moment, and Censor Shen is upright and honest. One day, he might be able to report to Ji Changmao and avenge those wronged souls!
She couldn't put all her hopes on the immortals, so she had to try her best to plan a way of survival for herself.
Ji Yunhuan's eyes were filled with tears, and she whispered, "After all these years, don't you understand my heart? Master Yun and I just met by chance, but we have known each other since childhood. Master Yun is not here today, and it was me who invited you to meet me!"
"I escaped the surveillance of the maid at home and came out to see the young master regardless of everything. I am afraid this will be the last time we meet! My stepmother only wants to marry me off without any reason. I don't know what my future will be like. I will have no regrets in my life if I can thank the young master in person and congratulate him on his success in the imperial examination."
Crystal clear tears slid down her cheeks. Ji Yunhuan bit her lip and choked up, "Sir, please go back. It's time for me to go back too."
Chen Shen felt extremely distressed and did not care about the differences between men and women. He reached out to wipe Huan'er's tears.
Ji Yunhuan turned her head away, her eyes showing stubbornness, "I know I am not worthy of Master Shen, so please don't write to me in the future, let alone send me anything. A short pain is worse than a long one. Huan'er has accepted her fate."
Mi Xue was crying beside them. She thought the young lady was really going to break up with Master Shen.
Shen Shen said anxiously: "No! It's not like that. I have never looked down on you. In my heart, you are the best woman. I will definitely marry you!"
"Father always said that the Ji family was not upright and did not want to marry into the Ji family, but you are different. You are untainted by the mud and are strong and kind. I have passed the imperial examination. I will go back and ask father and mother to propose marriage. I will welcome you into the family in a grand sedan chair."
Ji Yunhuan finally smiled, as if the sky was full of rosy clouds after the dark clouds, so beautiful that people could not take their eyes away.
She had finally gotten rid of Zhao Wenyuan's marriage. When her stepmother was done with this busy period, she would definitely arrange another marriage for her. The next marriage would only be worse. She could not wait any longer and could only force Shen Shen. Otherwise, with Shen Shen's indecisive character, she didn't know when he would make up his mind.
The atmosphere is just right at this moment, very suitable for being unable to control one's emotions, so that the love appears deep.
Ji Yunhuan took a step forward, wanting to hug Shen Shen's waist, burying her head in his arms, acting like a little bird.
But her body didn't obey her, and she stopped one step away from Shen Shen. She bowed to Shen Shen and said, "Then please come to propose marriage as soon as possible, Mr. Shen. A real man should keep his word and never break his promise."
