In a few days, they will be busy and will not have so much time to stroll around, so while there is still time, Pei Yu plans to take Chen Li for more walks.
After eating vegetarian food, the two of them took a short rest in the woodshed and then went down the mountain.
Before Pei Yu went down the mountain, he donated five hundred taels of incense money to the temple.
Chen Li admired in her heart that there were still many rich people in the capital, especially in this regard, but they were not stingy at all.
However, Chen Li knew why Pei Yu gave so much money. It was simply because he hoped that his mother's spirit tablet would be well taken care of here.
In the afternoon, the market at the foot of the mountain was still very lively, selling food and toys. After walking around for a while, Pei Yu was holding some small things in his hands, some for girls' use and some for children's toys.
Seeing someone selling fried meatballs in front, Chen Li went to order one. She ate one and thought it was pretty good, so she put one in Pei Yu's mouth.
"Ayu, it tastes pretty good, you try it."
Pei Yu didn't hesitate and took a bite. The meatball contained carrots and pork, and it tasted really good.
Zhu Yun saw this scene not far away and frowned slightly. There have been rumors in recent days that there is a woman beside Prince Jingnan and they have a very close relationship. It seems that this is the girl in front of him.
She behaves in an unconventional way and doesn't look like a lady from a wealthy family, but her appearance and temperament are very good. This girl is very contradictory.
Her gaze wasn't very obvious, but Chen Li still noticed it and looked sideways at her. Pei Yu, who noticed her movements, also turned his head to look.
Being stared at by the two, although there was no ill intention in them, Zhu Yun still felt the pressure doubled.
She came forward with her maid and nanny, "Meet the prince."
Pei Yu hummed, "What's the matter, Miss Zhu?"
Zhu Yun shook her head. "No, I've never seen a woman like you, so I looked at her a few more times. Please don't blame me, my Lord and my Lady."
Pei Yu looked at Ah Li and saw that she was not angry, so he said, "Miss Zhu, please do as you please."
Seeing that he ordered them to leave, Zhu Yun bit her lips under her veil, and finally spoke under Pei Yu's somewhat displeased gaze.
"Your Majesty, what is the relationship between this girl and you?"
Pei Yu's face instantly turned cold. "No matter what our relationship is, it has nothing to do with Miss Zhu."
This was very rude, and Zhu Yun felt a little embarrassed. She said awkwardly, "Your Highness, you misunderstood me. I just wanted to make friends with this girl. I have no other intentions."
Pei Yu was about to speak when Chen Li stopped him. She could see that Miss Zhu in front of her might not like Pei Yu, but Pei Yu was powerful and influential, a big piece of fat meat, not to mention that he was a prince, so everyone wanted to take a bite.
"Ms. Zhu, my name is Shen Li, Pei Yu's fiancée."
Zhu Yun nodded, still with some shock in her eyes. This girl could actually call Pei Yu by his name. It seemed that she was really Pei Yu's fiancée.
When Pei Yu was not yet the King of Jingnan, few of his peers dared to address him by his name. All the men who called him by his full name were subdued by him.
Having learned from the previous experience, the girls in Beijing no longer dared to call him by his name.
"So Miss Shen is the prince's fiancée. I'm really ignorant. I wonder whose daughter she is?"
The expression on her face was kind, and her tone of voice was gentle, without any malice, but it was precisely this that made Chen Li feel confused.
"Miss Zhu, you're worrying too much. I don't have a high status, nor am I a rich lady. I'm just an ordinary peasant girl."
After hearing this, Zhu Yun didn't show any disgust on her face. "How could a girl like this be an ordinary peasant girl?"
To be honest, she didn't believe that a peasant girl had such temperament. If this Miss Shen didn't have such a fierce aura, she might have believed it.
“Miss Shen is joking, you…”
Pei Yu saw that she kept pestering him, and his expression became even colder than before.
"Ms. Zhu, my fiancée and I have something to do."
Zhu Yun was wearing a veil, so even though she was embarrassed, it was impossible to see the expression on her face.
She leaned forward and bowed gracefully, "I am sorry for wasting your time."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left with her maid and nanny.
Pei Yu looked at Chen Li, "Ali, Zhu Yun is not as kind as she appears to be. There is no need to say more to her."
"Okay, I understand."
What Chen Li didn't know was that there were many female relatives in the Zhu Mansion, and Zhu Yun could become Prime Minister Zhu's most valued granddaughter and was also in charge of the backyard of the Zhu Mansion. This person must be extraordinary.
"Miss, King Jingnan treated you like that, aren't you angry?"
Zhu Yun shook her head, the corners of her lips curled up slightly: "Why are you angry? I knew exactly what I wanted from the beginning to the end. Why should I be angry about such a small matter?"
"But the prince already has a fiancée, you..."
"So what? I don't like him. I just want to use his power. Why should I care who he likes?"
The maid shut up, it was really not easy for their young lady.
After Zhu Yun finished speaking, he frowned slightly. How come the King of Jingnan suddenly had a fiancée?
I don’t know if the things at the Wanshou Festival can go smoothly. No, I have to go back and discuss it with my grandfather. If something goes wrong, all my efforts will be wasted.
"Let's go back home."
Without being disturbed by outsiders, the two of them visited every stall in this small market before returning home. At the same time, there were many more small things in the carriage, all of which were food and daily necessities.
I originally wanted to take Chen Li out the next day, but the weather was not good. It started to drizzle and the weather suddenly turned cold.
"Ayu, what do you think is suitable for eating in today's weather?"
Chen Li wore a light blue jacket and leaned against a pillar, watching the drizzle outside the corridor.
Pei Yu chuckled, "I understand. Send someone down to prepare it so we can have lunch at noon."
"I have several farms outside Beijing. If you want to eat anything else, I'll have someone bring it back."
"Are there any dishes?"
Vegetables in Beijing are more expensive than meat, especially after winter, the prices are getting more and more outrageous every day.
"Yes, there is a greenhouse on the farm where we grow some vegetables. Even if there is nothing there, I will definitely get you whatever Princess Jingnan wants to eat."
Chen Li raised her eyebrows, "Ayu, don't brag too much, be careful not to blow it out."
Pei Yu took a few steps closer and took her hand. "It doesn't matter if it gets broken. I've never had much face in front of Ah Li. It's better not to have it."
