"snort!"
Chen Li snorted softly. This meant that she had taken a fancy to Pei Yu and was waiting for her specially!
Her good mood was completely ruined, and she returned to the general's mansion with the clothes and fabrics she had bought.
Although he knew that Pei Yu should not be implicated in this matter, he still suffered some consequences.
During the period before the wedding, Pei Yu was very busy. He had already embroidered the red veil, but he just couldn't find time to look for Chen Li. Sometimes when he found time, he found that A Li was avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally.
Finally finishing the work at hand, Pei Yu sat in the study with a mahogany box in front of him, which contained an embroidered red veil.
Chen Li had just returned from a banquet outside when she saw a carriage parked in front of her house.
Not long after, a large, bony hand reached in from outside, "Princess, let me help you get off the carriage."
"I won't bother you, Your Highness."
She refused, but Pei Yu didn't get angry. He reached into the carriage, accurately held Chen Li's hand, and helped her out of the carriage.
From time to time, a carriage would pass by outside. Only after he pulled her into the mansion did Chen Li ask, "Why are you free to come here today?"
Pei Yu didn't answer, but pulled her to continue walking until they reached the pavilion in the garden. He then stopped and asked her to sit down on the stone bench.
"Where did Ali go to play today?"
"The Princess of Yan invited me to a banquet, and I went anyway since I had nothing else to do."
"Did you miss me?"
"I thought about it."
Shen Li leaned on the table and looked at him, "Why do you have so many questions today?"
Pei Yu also sat down. "I'm not afraid that I'm a dull person. What if my wife gets bored and runs away?"
Ignoring his insinuating words, Chen Li asked, "Is the red veil embroidered?"
"Um."
Pei Yu took out a piece of red cloth from his sleeve, which was embroidered with delicate patterns.
"Look, Ali. If you're not satisfied, I'll show you another one."
Chen Li spread it out and looked at it. It had to be said that he was very talented in this area. The lotus he embroidered was lifelike and even more beautiful than the one in the book.
The nameless anger in her heart suddenly dissipated halfway. Chen Li was not angry with him, but with this era. The general environment was like this, and some things had to be clarified before marriage.
"Ayu, what do you think of Miss Cheng?"
Pei Yu frowned slightly, "A-Li, why are you mentioning her?"
"I think she's a gentle and sensible person, quite good. What do you think?"
Pei Yu looked at her smiling face, as if he suddenly knew why Ali had ignored him these days.
He shook his head, "Really? I was busy when I met him and didn't pay much attention to her appearance. Why did Ali mention her? But there is a suitable candidate for husband."
"No, I just ran into her on the street that day and chatted with her for a while, so I thought she was quite interesting."
Pei Yu frowned slightly. According to Tianqing, they had only met from a distance and could still recognize each other on the street.
"I'm not sure. I've asked Tianqing to find soldiers of the right age in the army and let her choose when the time comes."
The curve of Chen Li's mouth became more serious. "Aren't you betraying the girl's trust a little too much by doing this?"
Pei Yu looked at Chen Li and said, "As long as I don't let Ah Li down, that's all I need to do. As for other people, I don't have that much time to worry about them."
After getting the answer she wanted, Chen Li was still very satisfied. She gave him a big smile without any hesitation.
Pei Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that this hurdle was passed.
He walked to Chen Li and hugged her from behind, "Ali, it's been a long time since we last met. Did you miss me?"
His warm breath fanned the back of her neck, and Shen Li shifted uncomfortably.
"Didn't you ask this question just now?"
"I miss Ali so much."
Then he began to conquer the city and swallowed Chen Li's screams into his mouth. This time, Pei Yu was different from his previous gentleness, with a sense of strength and punishment in it.
Chen Li was able to compete with him at first, but later her body became weak and she could only collapse powerlessly in his arms.
"Ali, you can say whatever you want to say, but don't hide from me."
Chen Li leaned in his arms without saying a word. A Yu probably didn't know that he had met so many people. Since ancient times, people's hearts have been treacherous and the most fickle.
Because of love, there is fear in my heart.
"good."
After a long time, Chen Li finally responded softly. Pei Yu hugged her tightly into his arms without saying anything else.
In the afternoon, the people from the Shangyi Bureau brought another wedding dress for Chen Li to try on. Pei Yu waited outside the yard and did not go in to see.
Listening to the exclamations and praises coming from inside from time to time, one can imagine that Ali must be very beautiful.
Although he really wanted to see Chen Li in her wedding dress, he wanted to wait until the day of her wedding, so he could only try to restrain himself.
"Ali, Zi'an is outside. Do you want him to come in and take a look?"
Chen Li shook her head, "Mom, no need, he will be able to see it on the day of the wedding."
She could probably guess what Pei Yu was thinking. Coincidentally, she had the same idea, so the two of them cooperated with each other very tacitly.
A dozen days before the wedding, Lu Jing brought Lu Nian with him.
"Sister Ali!"
Lu Nian trotted towards Chen Li. Perhaps because he was a little older, he did not jump into her arms like before.
Chen Li looked at her. The little girl was half a head taller than him, with skin as white as snow and delicate eyebrows and eyes. She was well raised by her brother.
"Why are you here at this time?"
Lu Jing held her arm and rested his head lightly on her arm.
"I came here with my brother. He brought me to attend Sister Ali's wedding."
Lu Nian looked up at Chen Li and said, "Sister, I also selected a lot of wedding gifts for you, and my brother also selected with me."
Chen Li patted her head as before, "Thank you, An Nian."
"Sister Ali, when you go to the Jingnan Palace, can I still come and play with you?"
"Don't you live in Yangzhou? Why did you come to visit me?"
Lu Nian raised his head, his face full of smiles, "My brother said that the focus of the business will gradually shift to the capital, so he brought me here as well."
"So that's how it is. As long as I'm in the lake, you can come over."
"hey-hey."
The Lu family is now an imperial merchant, so it is not wrong to shift the focus of their business to the capital.
During lunch, Chen Li also met Lu Jing. After becoming an imperial merchant, the boy seemed to be more calm and composed than before, and he had grown up visibly.
"Princess."
Ever since Pei Yu talked to him last time, he rarely called her Ali or Sister Ali in public.
"Here I come."
"Um."
There was no need for excessive words, as the two of them were quite familiar with each other, so some things were understood tacitly.
