Xu Taohua: ...
"Mother, why is your face suddenly so red?"
Seeing her eldest daughter-in-law looking embarrassed, Lin Cuicui took a piece of cake and gave it to Shen Mochi, stopping her eldest grandson from speaking any further.
Pei Yu walked in from outside wearing a dark robe. As he walked, one could see the clothes underneath, which were the same color as Chen Li's.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the workmanship and embroidery on their clothes were made by the same person.
"Uncle and aunt, Ali, it's almost time."
The Shen family is neither a family of officials nor members of a clan. If Pei Yu had not come to pick them up, they would not have been able to enter.
"Let's go."
There were three carriages at the door. Just as Shen Changshan was about to ask Pei Yu, he saw Mo Qing lift the curtain of the carriage from inside.
He nodded slightly to the crowd, then looked at Pei Yu and Shen Li, "It's almost time. If we can't take it, we'll be late. The capital is very crowded today."
"Um."
Chen Li and Pei Yu rode in one carriage, and the rest of the people rode in another. Fortunately, the carriage prepared by Pei Yu was spacious enough, and several people could sit inside without feeling crowded.
The carriage was moving very fast at the beginning, but the closer it got to the imperial city, the slower it moved. When I lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out, I saw quite a few pedestrians outside. In the middle of the street, there were two lines of carriages, moving forward in a crowded manner.
Chen Li had seen traffic jams before, but she had never seen a horse-drawn carriage jam like this.
"Ayu, aren't there foreign envoys coming today?"
"Well, the Western Regions of Mongolia and the surrounding countries have all come. They will present gifts for the Wanshou Festival. By the way, Ali, I asked me to prepare gifts for you, but you refused. What gifts did you prepare?"
Chen Li gestured for him to look at the box beside him. This was the one that Fourth Brother had just brought up.
"Open it and take a look."
Pei Yu took the box and opened it, and saw the well-prepared thousand-year-old ginseng inside.
"Ali, your ginseng doesn't seem as good as the one you gave me last time."
"Well, you have a good eye. These two were found together. This one is slightly inferior, but it's still very good. We just need to know about this. Don't tell the emperor."
Pei Yu nodded with a smile, "My wife is so good to me."
He put the box aside and took Chen Li's hand, "Ali, after tonight, everyone will know that you will be my wife."
"Then don't you regret marrying a woman like me who will not help you in your career at all?"
Pei Yu raised his eyebrows slightly: "A man's ambition is to go far and wide, and he can't rely on his wife to achieve his career. But who said that my Ah Li can't help me?"
Chen Li held his hand and said, "Let's just believe what you said."
When he lowered his head, the man concealed the gloom in his eyes. He had a premonition that he would not be quiet tonight. However, whoever obstructed his marriage with A Li was Pei Yu.
Many people had already entered the palace gate. When Chen Li and the others got off the carriage, the sun was already setting.
There were many strange men and women around, and Chen Li didn't know any of them, but she straightened her back and didn't show any fear.
The Shen family was a little nervous at first, but when they saw Shen Li like this, the uneasiness in their hearts disappeared.
They were next to Pei Yu and were bound to be stared at by many people, but they were Ali's family and could not show any fear.
Shen Jingyuan is not here. He will come up with other soldiers when he wants to reward them according to their merits.
Li Qianru had a veil on her face and followed a young woman. Originally, she was not allowed to enter because of her disfigured face, but she went to find the younger sister of the imperial concubine and was then able to enter the palace.
When Chen Li walked in, she was standing not far away. She just saw Chen Li's familiar profile and looked at Pei Yu beside her. Her brain was online for once and she quickly figured out the whole story.
She bit her silver teeth until they creaked. This bitch, why did she dress like a man for no reason? He also thought that Prince Jingnan had a preference for men and avoided him as much as possible.
As a result, she dressed up in men's clothes and made herself look crazy.
This was something she could never forget. When she hired someone to kill someone, she ended up hurting herself badly.
Now, she glanced at the girl beside her, the imperial concubine's sister Bai Shuran, who would be a good helper.
"Sister Bai, don't you like Prince Jingnan?"
Bai Shuran nodded, "What do you think, Sister Li?"
Li Qianru had a sly smile on her face. "It's not a brilliant idea, but I do have an idea. It depends on whether you want to use it or not."
Bai Shuran nodded, "Sister Li, tell me first."
Li Qianru leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words, her eyes gradually brightening and she nodded her head continuously.
After entering the palace, the female members of the family were supposed to pay their respects to the empress and the queen mother first, but now the central palace was vacant and the queen mother was not in the palace, so all the female members of the family went to pay their respects to the imperial concubine, who now had the highest rank.
The Shen family was naturally no exception, but the women in the Shen family did not have imperial decrees, and the men in the Shen family had not yet been appointed to official positions, so it might be inappropriate for them to go.
It's not inappropriate. After they go there, their status will be the lowest and anyone can step on them. Pei Yu thought about it again and again and decided to explain the situation to the emperor and not let them go to pay their respects to the imperial concubine for the time being.
They arrived relatively late and went directly into the Chonghua Hall where the banquet was held. The Shen family's seats were relatively far back, and only important officials in the court could attend the banquet.
Pei Yu watched the Shen family sit down and said, "Uncle and aunt, you guys just sit here first. Ah Li, you..."
Chen Li smiled at him and said, "You go ahead. I'll sit here with my parents."
Shen Li was worried about letting them sit here.
"Okay, I'll come over later."
Pei Yu was also worried. Although he knew that Chen Li was not the type to cause trouble, he was afraid that those bored people would cause trouble for A Li.
Pei Yu and Mo Qing walked forward together. Mo Qing did not bring Wen Lan with him to attend the Wanshou Festival this time. He originally wanted to bring her, but considering that the banquet was too complicated and she had been very tired following him during this period, he simply let her have a good rest.
During the time that Mo Qing returned to the capital, his door was almost trampled down by the powerful and wealthy families in the capital. He was so busy that he had no time to rest. He originally didn't want to see any patients, but after seeing one, the rest came in like snowflakes.
He's a bastard who doesn't make money. A few days in Beijing is enough to cover his expenses for several years. Besides, he doesn't see everyone. He has to screen everyone who has a headache or fever and won't see anyone.
He is a miracle doctor, not a medical doctor. If everyone who has a headache due to wind-heat is asked to see him, then his miracle doctor will become worthless.
