Chapter 60 Storybook
On the morning of the first day of the New Year, someone came early to pay New Year's greetings, and Li Yueyao and Feng Shenyu were both yawning.
We gave a unified explanation to the outside world, saying that we had endured the New Year yesterday.
Only Li Huaiyu went to see Li Yueyao first, and then to Feng Shenyu. Seeing that both of them were yawning, he thought of the two people who disappeared at the palace banquet last night.
I felt deep doubt in my heart.
The moment Feng Shenyu turned around to pick up something, Li Huaiyu noticed the little strawberry on Feng Shenyu's neck.
Then he laughed like a weasel that had stolen a chicken.
"Good job, it seems that you are making rapid progress with my aunt!" Li Huaiyu joked.
Feng Shenyu frowned when he heard this, "Are you following me?"
"Hey, don't accuse a good person. I went to the palace to attend the palace banquet yesterday."
"Then how did you tell that?"
Li Huaiyu smiled and tapped his neck.
"I saw it with my naked eyes."
Feng Shenyu touched his neck belatedly.
Li Huaiyu came closer and asked in a frivolous tone, "How is it going? How far has it progressed?"
Feng Shenyu glared at him and said unhappily, "This is not your concern."
After hearing this, Li Huaiyu turned around and sat on the chair next to him and sighed, "Alas, when a couple enters the bridal chamber, the matchmaker is thrown over the wall. This is true."
Feng Shenyu stood up and walked towards the study.
Li Huaiyu quickly stood up and followed happily.
"Hey, Ice Face, tell me, how far have we progressed?"
Yan Tai was following closely behind, and when he heard Li Huaiyu's question, he grinned.
The more this happened, the more Li Huaiyu wanted to know.
So he continued to pester Feng Shenyu and said, "Ice face, tell me."
Feng Shenyu was so pestered by him that she could only say, "Go home and prepare a gift. I will make you change your mind within a year."
Li Huaiyu listened and said with a smile: "Then congratulations in advance, uncle."
The call of "uncle" successfully pleased Feng Shenyu.
Feng Shenyu took out a purse from his arms and threw it to Li Huaiyu.
"My dear nephew, this is your New Year's money."
Li Huaiyu casually put the purse into his arms and happily followed Feng Shenyu into the study.
When Li Yueyao got up early, Cuiwei noticed the red marks on her neck and specially put a fox fur scarf on Li Yueyao to cover it up.
Now that she had finally met everyone, Li Yueyao was half leaning on the couch reading a storybook.
After the scarf is removed, the red marks on the neck can be clearly seen.
After Nanny Qin came in, she looked at Li Yueyao and sighed.
When Nanny Qin sighed for the tenth time, Li Yueyao said:
"Aunt, it's unlucky to sigh on New Year's Day. Don't worry, I'll find a time to talk to His Majesty."
Only then did a smile appear on Nanny Qin's face.
Time passed quickly and it was the third day of the Chinese New Year, and Feng Shenyu came to visit again.
This time, I brought a box of pastries and a bag of cherry pancakes and went straight to Li Yueyao's study.
When the people of Cuiwei saw Feng Shenyu coming and served tea, they automatically went out to stand guard at the door.
Li Yueyao put down the notebook in her hand and opened the box of pastries.
The gift box made of flower-shaped cakes of different colors is really suitable to be eaten with tea.
Seeing that she liked it, Feng Shenyu thought that it was time to raise the monthly salary of the mansion's cook.
He picked up the book that Li Yueyao had just put aside and opened it to see "The Princess Charming the Man's Heart".
Feng Shenyu had never seen such a book before, he had only seen the fire avoidance diagram.
So out of curiosity, I opened it and flipped through a few pages.
The story tells of a little princess who falls in love with a powerful official in the court, pursues him relentlessly, and finally lives together with him.
Feng Shenyu watched as the little princess offered herself for marriage but was rejected, and then she drugged the powerful official, and the two of them got together.
In the end, due to a misunderstanding, the little princess ran away with the baby, and the powerful official ended up in the crematorium after chasing his wife. It was a series of tragic love stories that made people sigh.
I looked up at Li Yueyao and thought, why doesn't she drug me or offer herself to me?
Li Yueyao saw Fengshenyu looking at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Feng Shenyu retracted his gaze: "It's okay, this book is well written."
"Oh, it's a bit old-fashioned and not very pretty."
Feng Shenyu listened and said sideways: "Oh, Your Highness, do you have anything more beautiful?"
"Oh, yes. Let me find it for you."
As he said this, he took out a book from the side and handed it to Feng Shenyu.
Feng Shenyu took it and took a look. The book was called "The Young Lady Enters the Mansion, and the Playboy Falls in Love with Her Day by Day".
It tells the story of a young lady from a prominent family who marries a dandy young man.
The story was a chaotic one at first, but later on, due to harmonious sex life, the playboy gradually turned over a new leaf and finally got on the right track.
There are many restrictions and unspeakable plots in it.
Feng Shenyu was stunned by what he saw. This was more subtle than the fire avoidance picture he had seen before, but it also gave people more room for imagination.
So he said, "So, Your Highness reads this kind of book every day? No wonder..."
Ever since Feng Shenyu started flipping through the book, Li Yueyao had been staring at his expression, trying to peek into his inner thoughts.
But Feng Shenyu is indeed the famous cold-faced man in the capital.
There was no change in his facial expression until he finished reading the book.
When Li Yueyao heard Feng Shenyu's words, she calmly asked, "What's the wonder?"
Feng Shenyu closed the book, looked at Li Yueyao's playful smile and said:
"No wonder His Highness made advances on me when he was drunk. Was it inspired by the storybook?"
When Li Yueyao saw that Feng Shenyu's expression didn't change, she lost interest.
Feng Shenyu stood up and moved all of Li Yueyao's storybooks over and started reading them one by one.
After studying for a while, I found that only the book I just read contained plots that were not suitable for children, and the others were all normal stories.
Only later did he realize that Li Yueyao was teasing him.
So he put all the notebooks back to their original places.
Seeing that it was almost noon, the two went to the dining room to have lunch together.
Cui Xin cooked a table full of dishes today, using all she had learned in her life, and then stood at the door eagerly, waiting for feedback from the two.
Feng Shenyu praised the stir-fried lotus pond dish and pickled fish on the table highly.
After hearing this at the door, Cui Xin turned around and left proudly.
Li Yueyao smiled when she saw this.
After dinner, the two went for a walk in the backyard.
"On the day of the Little New Year, Gao Hongchen finally discovered that his family's treasury was empty. He was so furious that he almost fainted. He only recovered after a few days of recuperation.
I heard that when he attended the palace banquet last night, the corners of his mouth were slightly crooked."
Feng Shenyu said this with a smile in his voice.
Li Yueyao also said after hearing this: "I'm afraid it won't be peaceful after the New Year."
"Of course, if he doesn't take action, I will.
The Chunhui Garden case must be made public, otherwise we will not be able to justify the deaths of these women."
Li Yueyao nodded after hearing this. They were all citizens of the Great Jin Dynasty, so there was no distinction between high and low. An official who could speak up for the people was a good official.
This was also the most important reason why Li Yueyao wanted to form an alliance with Feng Shenyu.
"I'm afraid Prime Minister Gao has already suspected us now, right?"
Feng Shenyu nodded.
"If he couldn't find any clues within two days, he would automatically suspect us.
Besides, I haven't been avoiding suspicion recently and have been coming to your place frequently. He must have targeted us two and will definitely find an opportunity to impeach you and me after the new year.
However, you have been in Chunshan Palace for many years and rarely interfered in court affairs, so it was difficult for him to find any evidence against you for the time being.
So the first target he will target after the new year will definitely be me.
I’ve already prepared for this.”
Li Yueyao smiled and said, "It's okay, just watch him toss around.
You just focus on dealing with him. I need to spare some time to watch over the Xie family and guard against them colluding with Prime Minister Zuo."
Feng Shenyu nodded after hearing this.
