After being shocked for a moment, she suddenly became happy. If this was true, then wouldn't her marriage to Shen Qian'an be more likely?
He gave Chen Li a thumbs up and said, "As expected of you, you can even take down such a banished immortal."
She couldn't control him. The King of Jingnan earned his title through military merit. He was extremely difficult to approach when he was young. After he came of age, he led the army to fight in many battles. He was a decisive and ruthless person.
It should be difficult to get close to him. No girl in Beijing could get close to him. There was once a rumor that he was not interested in women and liked men, but it turned out to be just rumors. In the end, he was won over by Ali.
However, she still likes Shen Qi'an, and no matter how good Pei Yu is, he is not her type.
Chen Li accepted her praise with a smile, "Ahui, we will be going to the capital soon."
"Oh, so can I go with you? I haven't seen my grandparents in a long time, and I miss them so much."
Chen Li: ...
She didn't know whether her parents believed this poor excuse, but her eldest brother would never believe it.
If someone who always reluctantly goes to the capital suddenly wants to go there, everyone knows there is something fishy going on.
"I'm afraid not. Uncle Su and Aunt Su probably won't agree."
Su Zhihui suddenly lost her temper and slumped over the table. "Yeah, my mother rarely lets me go out these days, let alone go to a place as far away as the capital."
"Ali, what do you think I should do?"
Chen Li was silent for a while, calculating in her mind the possibility of her and Fourth Brother being together.
Now Pei Yu has become the son-in-law of the Shen family. With his power, there is a 50% chance of it happening.
"Ahui, do you want to try to talk to Uncle Su and Aunt Su?"
With Prince Jingnan as his brother-in-law, and his fourth brother being very talented in studying, it is possible that he will achieve unparalleled success in the future.
Ah Hui has a simple personality and she doesn't know how many people will plot against her in the deep courtyard. If she hadn't been worried about this, her marriage wouldn't have been delayed for so long and Su's parents would have arranged one for her long ago.
"Tell your parents?"
After thinking about it in my mind, I quickly figured out the key point and my eyes lit up.
She is not stupid, she is just naive and kind. With a little guidance, she will figure things out on her own.
"Pah~"
She slapped the table with a look of determination that she would die if she didn't succeed.
"Ali, you're right. I'll discuss this with my brother when I get back."
If her parents agreed, she would have an excuse to go to the capital. Otherwise, she was worried that Shen Qi'an would go to the capital and see other young ladies from aristocratic families, and would he fall in love with them?
…
"So, Brother Su dropped out of the academy because he wanted to go to the Imperial College?"
"Yes, that's right. I didn't tell you the whole story in advance, which made Brother Su worried."
Su Heng shook his head. He was not really worried. The main problem was his silly sister who jumped in headfirst and even ten oxen couldn't pull her back.
“Brother Shen, congratulations.”
He naturally knew the benefits of entering the Imperial College, but since he couldn't get in, he didn't envy Shen Qi'an.
"Brother Su, I'm just lucky. With your talent, it's only a matter of time before you enter the government."
Su Heng smiled brightly, "Thank you for your kind words, Brother Shen."
Su Heng stood up. Since Shen Qi'an was fine, he didn't plan to stay any longer.
"I think Brother Shen has guests at home. If that's the case, I won't disturb them with my sister."
Shen Qi'an also stood up, "Brother Su, I'm afraid this won't work. Today is A-Li's engagement day. Since Miss Su is here, she will probably stay a while longer."
Su Heng was also a little surprised. He didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.
"Brother Shen, why didn't you inform me about such a happy event? I came here without even bringing any gifts. I feel so embarrassed."
Shen Qi'an shook his head, "I didn't intend to make it public. It's really a coincidence that Brother Su came today."
Shen Qi'an himself didn't even know that he was getting engaged today, let alone notifying others.
Su Heng smiled and nodded, but he felt very bitter inside. It was not him who wanted to come, but clearly the eldest lady.
“I don’t know which young man Miss Shen is engaged to. I think the Shen family loves Miss Shen so much, so they must be a good family.”
Shen Qi'an was silent for a while, not knowing whether he could speak. Su Heng might have seen that there was something hidden. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Brother Shen speak.
"My name is Pei Yu, and I'm from the capital."
When Su Heng heard the name, his pupils suddenly trembled, and he looked at Shen Qi'an with disbelief, because he didn't know this name, or maybe he was wrong, and it was just someone with the same name.
Shen Qi'an, who had already guessed that he would react like this, nodded and said, "Brother Su, you are right. It is the person you think of."
Su Heng came back to his senses after a while, and then thought about Shen Qi'an going to the Imperial College. So this is how it was.
I originally thought that Shen Qi'an was quite talented in academics, but he just started school a little late. Now it seems that the Shen family is very lucky.
Isn't it a great fortune? Who is Pei Yu? He became famous at a young age, and together with the current emperor, he conquered the Northern Qi Dynasty. After establishing the Northern Yan, he was awarded the title of King of Jingnan, and now he is even a favorite of the emperor.
At first, I thought that Shen Qi'an and his sister might not be destined to be together. Now, Shen Qi'an has entered the Imperial College. If he passes the imperial examination in the future, perhaps the person he can marry into will be his Su family.
"I have heard of the prince's name before, but I didn't know he was there and didn't pay my respects. Now that I know he is here, I must go and pay my respects to him, otherwise it would be very rude."
Shen Qi'an nodded, understanding his thoughts. Although Pei Yu was not arrogant in his own family, it did not mean that he would behave like this in front of outsiders.
"Let's go back to the side hall."
"Thank you, Brother Shen."
At the door of the side hall, I met Chen Li and Su Zhihui who had also rushed over.
After a simple greeting, he entered the side hall. The side hall had been cleaned up at this time, but Pei Yu and Lu Jing were not there.
"Mom, where did A Yu go?"
Shen Changshan entertained the Su brothers and sisters, and Lin Cuicui answered Shen Li's questions.
"Zi'an and Ajing are out together. They must be discussing something. They should be in Zi'an's yard. Do you want to go?"
Chen Li sat down next to her and said, "No, I won't get involved in their affairs."
Neither Pei Yu nor Lu Jing are people who will suffer losses, but Pei Yu's identity is always more precious, so Lu Jing has to make concessions. However, he should not suffer too much loss, after all, he is a man of merit.
…
Not long after Chen Li took Su Zhihui out, Pei Yu stood up and said, "Uncle and aunt, I have something to talk to Lu Jing about. I'll excuse myself for a moment."
Shen Changshan: "Then go quickly, do you want to talk in the study?"
"No, it's nothing important. Let's talk about it in the yard where I live."
"Okay, go ahead."
Seeing his elder brother leaving with Prince Jingnan, Lu Nian felt a little nervous. Would the prince make things difficult for his elder brother because of Sister Ali's matter?
