There was still a smile on her lips, but when she thought of the Shen Changshan family she met today, the smile gradually faded.
Meeting them now is not a good thing for me, but it is not impossible to take advantage of them to achieve my own goals.
Shen Changshan's family's encounter with Shen Jiaojiao had no impact on them. After all, they had already separated, and the little bit of family affection they had had long since disappeared.
Xie Yunche looked at Shen Changshan and Shen Li, "I didn't expect that you and Jiaojiao are actually relatives. I really didn't expect it."
Shen Changshan shook his head. "We didn't expect Jiaojiao to be here. We separated when we were fleeing the famine. We thought we would never see each other again in this life. Thank you, Your Highness, for letting us see Jiaojiao again."
Xie Yunche waved his hand. "Saying thank you or not is too polite. I really do have a connection with your Shen family. I was saved by Jiaojiao on the road, and later by Yuanzhou. Tell me, is this a great connection?"
"Yeah, but it's really fate."
There was a hint of sympathy in Chen Li's eyes when she looked at Xie Yunche. Chen Jiaojiao's purpose in saving him was not simple at the beginning. It was probably because after Old Lady Shen died, no one was protecting her. She was tired of looking for food for them all day, and when she met a golden nugget like him, she saved him.
If this lump of gold was covered with mud and she couldn't tell it apart, do you think she would still save it?
But to be honest, this gold nugget is really too naive!
"Yeah, I think so too."
Seeing that Chen Li agreed with his point of view, Xie Yunche became very happy. He called the opera singers and everyone moved to the stage to listen to the opera.
The stage was singing an opera, and the people in the audience were listening attentively, but few could understand it.
Chen Li propped up her chin and listened. I didn't need to watch the show to know that the one on the recent business trip was Wu Song fighting the tiger. The clanging sound of the song almost drove away my sleepiness.
He had only heard half of the play when he saw a young eunuch running over from a distance. He leaned over to Xie Yunche's ear and whispered, "Your Majesty, His Majesty and Prince Jingnan are here."
"Has anyone been invited in?"
Xie Yunche was a little nervous. Why did his elder brother come with Brother Pei?
These two people getting together, wow, it gives me a headache just thinking about it.
Chen Li had good hearing, so he naturally heard it, but since Xie Yunche didn't say anything, he pretended not to hear it.
But looking at Xie Yunche's appearance, you can tell that the emperor is not bad looking, but I don't know what he is here for today.
Pei Yu followed Xie Yunci, a look of helplessness on his face. He didn't understand why Xie Yunche had to tell His Majesty if he wanted to invite someone. Now that was fine, he had to follow him out.
"Your Majesty, have you finished your official duties today?"
Xie Yunci waved his hand, "My dear, why are you saying this? Now that you're out here, have fun and don't say such depressing words."
Pei Yu: He knows how to be ambiguous.
If his mood is ruined, he will ask you to make him feel disgusted.
"I am worried that I might scare the Shen family."
Xie Yunci took out a small bronze mirror from his bosom, looked at it as he walked, and carefully examined his face for a moment.
"Lord Pei, I don't look scary, so I won't scare them."
Pei Yu's mouth twitched, "Your Majesty, quickly put away your mirror, otherwise if outsiders see it, it will affect your dignity."
Xie Yunci covered the mirror and shook it in front of him. "Does it look good? This was given to me by the imperial concubine."
Pei Yu nodded. "It looks good, but Your Majesty, you have been on the throne for more than two years. The position of empress has been vacant for so long. It is time to decide. Otherwise, he will be unable to justify it to the ministers in the court."
"snort."
Xie Yunci snorted coldly and put the mirror back into his sleeve. "Lord Pei, you've really spoiled my fun today. If you spoil my fun again, I'll arrange a marriage between her and Yun Che when I see Miss Shen later."
Pei Yu was speechless for a moment. "It's not impossible, as long as you are not afraid of Prince Yan crying in front of you every day."
Xie Yunci was puzzled: "Why?"
Pei Yu said succinctly: "I guess the King of Yan is afraid of dying young, so he came to you to cry."
Xie Yunci touched his chin and said, "You described Miss Shen as so terrifying, aren't you afraid that she will get angry if she knows?"
Pei Yu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did I say anything? I didn't say A-Li is scary. My A-Li is so beautiful, how could she be scary?"
"Then why did I praise the imperial concubine like this? But she was so angry that she even... ahem, why is that?"
Thinking that what he said would damage his reputation, Xie Yunci quickly took back what he said.
"I don't know."
Seeing that he had something else to say, Pei Yu quickly said, "The garden is just ahead, and the stage is right in front."
He had no interest in knowing the emperor's private affairs.
"Yes, I know. Let's go."
"The Emperor has arrived~"
Before he even stepped onto the stage, the eunuch following the emperor shouted in a pinched voice.
The Shen family. During their stay at the trainer's house, Pei Yu had someone teach them how to perform a proper etiquette ritual, and they had already studied it systematically.
So when they heard that the emperor was coming, they were a little nervous, but not panicked.
When they heard the footsteps approaching, the Shen family knelt down together and said, "Your Highness."
Chen Li didn't want to kneel, but in this era where imperial power was supreme, she had no choice.
Since we are living in this era, we must abide by the rules of this era. These cannot be changed at will, unless you live in the mountains and forests all your life and never come out into the world, then you can live as you please.
"Stand up."
Xie Yunche stepped forward and asked, "Brother, why are you free today? Are you not dealing with the memorials?"
Xie Yunci paused slightly. His younger brother was really embarrassed.
"Why, I can't rest?"
Xie Yunche chuckled, "Of course you can. Big Brother, if you want to rest, then rest. Who dares to stop you?"
"Brother, come and sit down. What kind of opera do you want to hear? After we finish this one, I'll have them sing it for you."
Pei Yu was behind, helping Chen Li up, and the others could get up on their own.
“No hurry, who is Shen Li?”
In fact, his question was a bit redundant. There were only three female relatives present, and two of them had women's buns. Not to mention that she was the only one who met the age requirements, so there was no need to say who Chen Li was.
But who made him the emperor? No one would question him openly, and everyone could only talk about it in their hearts.
Chen Li walked forward calmly, "I am Chen Li."
Chen Li stood there, not looking him in the eyes, and not feeling any fear.
Xie Yunci was so angry that he laughed when he saw Pei Yu following closely beside him.
What does Pei Zian mean?
Is there anything else he can do to his fiancée?
