Shudu.
In recent times, the clothing store opened by Xiao Zhiruo has been extremely popular.
With the launch of the horse-faced skirt, the women of Shudu instantly fell in love with this clothing.
There were long queues of people coming to place orders every day, and even if Xiao Zhiruo urgently recruited female workers to make the products, she could not keep up with the demand.
The main reason is that the horse-faced skirt is complicated to make, and even an experienced female worker would need several days to sew a horse-faced skirt.
The orders have been scheduled for several months later, which makes Xiao Zhiruo miss Pei Yun even more. Pei Yun made the horse-faced skirt for her very quickly.
If Pei Yun were here, she wouldn't have to be so flustered.
During this period, she also heard a lot of gossip, saying that she was the daughter of a prince, but she was still out in public doing business, which was bringing shame to the prince.
There were even voices of dissatisfaction in the palace, some feeling that it was inappropriate for the princess to take measurements for those women and tailor their clothes.
Especially Xiao Zhiruo's eldest brother, second brother and the prince's wife talked about her many times.
Fortunately, Xiao Cheng supported her. Originally, Xiao Cheng did not allow Xiao Zhiruo to do business, thinking that it was inappropriate for her, an unmarried girl, to be out in public all day dealing with those vulgar businessmen.
He even planned to find someone to close Xiao Zhiruo's clothing store, but after listening to Pei Yun's strategy for dealing with the barbarians and his explanation of the way of business, Xiao Cheng changed his mind.
He suppressed all the dissatisfied voices in the palace, allowing Xiao Zhiruo to focus on business.
Now the garment shop is making a fortune, which makes Xiao Cheng quite satisfied. Money is very important to realize his ambition.
In the boudoir.
Xiao Zhiruo was holding a piece of paper in her hand, on which was written the poem that Pei Yun had given her when she left Ruifeng County.
"If love lasts forever, it doesn't matter if they are together day and night."
Xiao Zhiruo was lost in thought as she read these two sentences, not knowing when Pei Yun would come to Shudu to marry her.
The three-month agreement with Pei Yun has come, but there is no letter from him. Could it be that he has forgotten about me?
"Princess, Princess."
At this moment, the maid Yuzhu pushed the door open and walked in, holding a piece of letter paper in her hand.
"Mr. Pei has sent a letter."
"Let me see it quickly." Xiao Zhiruo put down the paper in her hand, and Yuzhu handed the letter over.
After reading it, Xiao Zhiruo blushed. The letter said that Pei Yun was already on the way and would arrive in Shudu soon.
"Princess, is Master Pei coming?"
"Um."
Xiao Zhiruo nodded, unable to hide her excitement. This was the first time in her life that she was so concerned about a man.
"Yuzhu, go get ready!"
She suddenly stood up, her skirt fluttering like a butterfly's wings, "Clean up the west wing and get the finest brocade quilt. Also, go to the storehouse and get that celadon tea set..."
Yu Zhu smiled and said, "Princess, I don't know when Master Pei will arrive. It won't be too late to prepare after he arrives."
Xiao Zhiruo laughed, she was indeed too anxious.
"I'll go tell my father."
Xiao Zhiruo went out, walking briskly like a butterfly, in a very good mood.
In the study, Xiao Cheng smiled when he heard Pei Yun was coming. Ding Mance made him proud in front of the emperor, and the emperor gave him many rewards.
All of this was brought by Pei Yun. Now the imperial court is ready to start trading with the barbarians. However, before that, someone is needed to go on a diplomatic mission to the Southern Barbarians, and the candidate has not yet been determined.
The Northern Hu have made big moves recently, with a large number of troops heading south to attack Yuzhou. Now the court's focus is on Yuzhou, and the issue of personnel selection has been put on hold.
Xiao Cheng was not in a hurry either. The prince volunteered to go to support Yuzhou, so he decided to watch the prince's joke first.
"Since Pei Yun is coming, we can prepare for the wedding. You can close your clothing store for the next few days and prepare well at home."
Xiao Zhiruo nodded. There were too many orders recently and the female workers were too busy to handle it. She was about to close the shop and finish the orders first.
After Xiao Zhiruo left, Xiao Cheng called Lu Jingxuan.
"Pei Yun is coming. Zhiruo said before that after the wedding in the palace, she would go to Ruifeng County to hold another banquet. I promised her. You will go with her then, and then tell Pei Yun about it appropriately to see how he reacts."
Lu Jingxuan nodded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely take care of this matter."
"Okay, you can get out now."
Lu Jingxuan closed the door and went out, while Xiao Cheng took out a letter and a smile appeared on his face.
This letter was written by Pei Li before, and he asked someone with connections to send it to the palace. Xiao Cheng read it, but ignored it, but he could use it as a bargaining chip in his hand.
He murmured, "A wise bird chooses the right tree to inhabit. Pei Yun, I have given you my daughter. I hope you will not let me down."
…
A few days later.
Pei Yun and Leng Qingqiu arrived in Shudu and were warmly welcomed into the palace as soon as they arrived.
The palace was already decorated with lights and full of joy.
"Captain Pei, the prince is waiting for you in the study." The butler respectfully led the way.
In front of the study room, Xiao Cheng came out to greet him personally, laughing and saying, "Pei Yun, Pei Yun, I really didn't make a mistake in choosing you. Yuan Zheng has already informed me of your situation."
Pei Yun bowed and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise."
Xiao Cheng held his arm, his eyes full of admiration, "The bandits have been entrenched in Qingyang County for many years, and the government has repeatedly sent troops to encircle and suppress them but to no avail."
"You are so good, you have completely eradicated it in just a few days! Even the generals in the court may not be able to match your ability!"
Pei Yun said modestly, "It was mainly because of Lord Yuan's planning. I was just lucky."
"You are victorious but not arrogant. I really did not make a mistake in choosing you. I am relieved to entrust Zhiruo to you."
