Chapter 468: Engagement



After Pei Yu talked with Chen Li for a while, he left to do some business. Before dinner, he came again and brought an imperial edict.

"Ali, this is for you, open it and take a look."

Pei Yu sat directly next to Chen Li and handed her the bright yellow imperial edict.

"What's written on it?"

"You'll know when you open it."

So mysterious, Shen Li slowly opened the imperial edict, and Shen Changshan and the others also came over.

"Zi'an, this is an imperial decree. Should we kneel down and receive it?"

Pei Yu was drinking tea and raised his eyelids slightly when he heard this. "No need, there are no outsiders here. Besides, this imperial edict has been with me for some time."

"Phew, that's good."

Shen Changshan breathed a sigh of relief. This spirit has many rules. If someone saw it, it would cause them to be guilty of disrespect, which would be too resentful.

Chen Li opened it and saw the contents clearly in just a few seconds. "The emperor has made me a princess, and also given me a fiefdom!"

"Girl City, I remember it's next to Dingzhou, right?"

Pei Yu smiled and nodded, "Yes, he said that it would be easier for us to manage it in the future. That place is a bit barren, so I'll have people go and clean it up."

"fine."

Chen Li was very happy to have obtained a piece of land for free. She looked at Pei Yu and said, "Ayu, what about you? What reward did you get?"

"A golden medal of immunity from death."

Pei Yu's words were concise and to the point. Everyone in the room was surprised. Even Chen Li raised her eyebrows slightly.

I didn’t expect the emperor to be so generous this time.

A few days later, the gate of General Zhennan's Mansion was decorated with lights and there was festive music.

"Hey, why is the Zhennan General's Mansion so lively?"

A group of people gathered at the gate of General Zhennan's Mansion. They were gathered together to look at the betrothal gifts being delivered into the Mansion.

"Tsk tsk, the betrothal gifts from Prince Jingnan's Palace alone must be dozens of them!"

"This Princess Hui'an is really lucky to have caught the eye of Prince Jingnan."

“Ah, what you said, this general’s mansion is not bad!”

"It's good, but it can't compare to the wealth of Prince Jingnan!"

"Tsk tsk, you guys are so sour in your tone, if someone doesn't know you they would think you're jealous!"

"It's a consensual thing between us, but why are you guys starting to compare yourself with me?"

Shen Ni was wearing a fiery red dress today, with black hair and red lips, and a graceful figure. She stood in the courtyard, looking at the mahogany boxes that were constantly being carried in from outside.

He asked Tianqing beside him, "Didn't you send a betrothal gift in Qingxi County? Why is your master sending another betrothal gift?"

Tianqing: "My Lady, our prince felt that the betrothal gifts were too little, so he gave you a little more."

Chen Li felt somewhat helpless and asked, "How much wealth does the palace have?"

Tianqing's face was full of embarrassment, and he hesitated and refused to say anything.

"Tell the truth."

"My lord, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's that the prince doesn't allow me to tell you."

"I asked you to tell him. If Ayu knows about it, he won't blame you."

"Hurry, it's almost empty!"

Chen Li: ...

A prodigal son, a pure prodigal son!

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "Well, I understand. Don't tell your master about this first."

"…yes."

He finally understood that this was the fun between the master and his mistress, and they, the subordinates, didn't understand it at all.

Forget it, he should just go and supervise the team delivering the betrothal gifts.

Shen Changshan walked to Shen Li and said, "Ali, Zi'an sent so many betrothal gifts, isn't it a bit, um..."

"That's a bit exaggerated, isn't it, Dad?"

Shen Changshan's old face flushed, "No, Dad didn't mean that. My Ah Li is worth so much betrothal gifts."

Chen Li: Although, she still wanted to say that even if she sold herself by kilogram, she couldn’t sell so much.

Outside, Pei Yu came galloping over on a horse, "Whoa~"

He dismounted, holding a mahogany box in his hand, and walked quickly inside.

Mo Bai, who was behind, slowed down a step and hurriedly jogged to catch up. He was feeling upset and irritated.

God knows how happy he was when he knew that his prince had a golden medal of immunity from death.

As a result, the happier I was then, the more embarrassed I am now.

The prince actually wants to give the golden medal of immunity from death to Miss Shen. Woohoo, when did their prince become so sentimental?

The golden medal of immunity from death is a life-saving thing!

How can I give it to someone else?

However, as a subordinate, he had little influence and could not influence his master's decision. He was so anxious these days that he had several blisters in his mouth.

"Ali!"

Pei Yu had just come off the stage and was still wearing the prince's attire. The clothes were luxurious and majestic, and on him, he looked extremely noble.

"Ayu, are you leaving the court?"

"Well, the emperor recently gave me a holiday, so I didn't have anything to do. I went to the palace and came here."

Pei Yu handed her the box and said, "Open it and take a look."

Chen Li noticed Mo Bai standing beside her. Seeing his face full of resentment, she roughly guessed what was inside.

Sure enough, when the mahogany box was opened, a golden medal of immunity from death was lying quietly inside.

Chen Li took it out and looked at it carefully. She had never seen a golden medal of immunity from death before, but today she was able to feast her eyes on it.

After a while, he put it back into the box and said, "Ayu, this is for you."

Pei Yu shook his head, "Ali, this is for you."

"I don't need this thing. Keep it and you can keep it as a family heirloom in the future."

Pei Yu chuckled, "Wouldn't it be the same if you kept it for me?"

"I don't need this thing, Ayu. I know what you're thinking, but you're in a high position of power, and this thing can save your life at a critical moment, which is what you need most."

Chen Li put the box in his hand and said, "Put it away. If you don't need it, we can keep it as a family heirloom and pass it down from generation to generation, okay?"

Pei Yu handed the box to Mo Bai, "Okay."

Mo Bai took the box as if it were a treasure, and now he had a different opinion of Princess Hui'an.

"Ayu, with so many betrothal gifts, you wouldn't have emptied the palace, would you?"

Pei Yu shook his head. "No, there are still some shops and farms that I will hand over to you later."

Chen Li looked at him sideways, "Ayu, are you thinking of being a gigolo?"

Pei Yu gave her so many things as a betrothal gift and even had the deed sealed with the government. From now on, all these things belonged to Chen Li.

"With so much betrothal gifts, can you still afford to support such a huge palace?"

"Isn't there a princess?"

Pei Yu took her hand and said, "There will be a princess rescue in the future."

Chen Li smiled sweetly, "Then I will give the prince a monthly salary from now on, okay?"

"Okay, thank you, Princess."

Mo Bai couldn't stand it anymore and retreated with his teeth bared. He didn't know how Tianqing could endure staying with the prince for so long. He would have to go to him for advice someday.

Chen Li took Pei Yu's hand and suddenly saw a new scar on it. She frowned slightly and asked, "Ayu, when did you get this injury?"

The scar was still pink, proving it had healed only recently, and she hadn't noticed it yesterday.

Pei Yu looked at the scar on his palm and said, "I went to deal with a traitor. This little wound is nothing serious."
