Chapter 36 First Encounter with Fengshenyu
Chunshan Teahouse is Li Yueyao's shop.
Because Li Yueyao lived in Chunshan Palace, she had frequent interactions with people living down the mountain.
There is a small tea mountain opposite the palace, but the tea sales are not ideal every year. Li Yueyao opened this small teahouse to help the people there sell tea and mountain products.
It is located on the street behind Zhuque Street. It is not too busy, but not too deserted either.
Li Yueyao got off the car on Zhuque Street. Wearing a white veil and a white fox fur coat, she almost blended into the earth after the snow.
The deerskin boots squeaked as they stepped on the snow.
After a cup of tea, we arrived at Chunshan Teahouse.
Cuiwei showed the shopkeeper her badge, and the shopkeeper quickly came out, bowed, and said, "The boss is here, please come upstairs."
As he spoke, he led everyone up to the second floor. Room No. 3 had already been warmed by the smoke.
The shopkeeper directed the waiters to bring the food, and soon the table was full.
An exquisite little pottery pot is placed on the small red clay stove, boiling tea. The collection box made of seven-color tea snacks is fresh and elegant.
When the shopkeeper saw Li Yueyao taking off her cloak, he added a charcoal brazier at the door. After everything was arranged, he bowed and left.
Li Yueyao opened the window and looked down.
As noon approached, the streets became bustling with people.
…
The residence of the Left Prime Minister in Jingshanfang is only two blocks away from Chunshan Teahouse.
"Master, we haven't found any trace of that man." A guard came to report.
"Keep investigating. This time, even if we have to turn the entire capital upside down, we'll find the person."
A man in a black robe sat at the top and gave orders.
I saw that this man had a long head, high cheekbones, sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a prominent nose, a delicate mouth, and a slender figure. He was a handsome young man with a graceful figure.
This person is none other than the Right Prime Minister Feng Shenyu.
Two days ago, Feng Shenyu saw a man who looked very similar to his savior by the Cang River, and he rode his horse to chase him to the city gate.
But he never expected to lose the person.
He had not attended court for the past two days, and had been searching for that woman.
After hearing this, the guard turned around and left in a hurry.
At the door, he passed by Feng Shenyu's personal servant Yan Tai.
"My dear, the virtuous concubine and the Grand Princess of Jinyang have agreed to meet before noon today..."
After hearing this, Feng Shenyu rubbed his forehead and said impatiently: "I'm busy, I won't go."
Yantai knew that his master had been very upset these past two days because of the people he met by the Cang River.
She still persuaded him patiently: "My dear, whether to form an alliance or not is another matter, but at least go to meet her, so that you can give an explanation to the virtuous concubine."
Feng Shenyu remained silent after hearing this.
After a while, Yan Tai looked at the clepsydra behind him and saw that it would be noon in less than half an hour.
So he had to speak again: "My dear, just go and take a look. We can't let Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess of Jinyang wait in vain.
We can't form an alliance, nor can we make enemies."
Feng Shenyu listened, looked up at the snowy scene outside the window, sighed and said, "Prepare the car, let's go to Chunshan Teahouse."
Seeing that it was still two quarters of an hour before noon and no one had come yet, Li Yueyao guessed that she might not be able to see the Right Prime Minister today.
So he stood up, looked out the window, stretched, and said, "Let's go."
Cuiwei said, "Your Highness, there are still two quarters of an hour left. Aren't you going to wait any longer?"
"No need to wait. If you wanted to form an alliance, you would have come long ago. If you didn't come at this time, it means you have no intention."
After hearing this, Nanny Qin put the cloak on Li Yueyao.
Cuiwei changed two pieces of charcoal in the hand warmer, shook them evenly, packed them up, and handed them to Li Yueyao.
After they had packed up, they left the teahouse and headed towards Zhuque Street.
As soon as I walked to Zhuque Street, I saw a group of young men coming from the opposite side. They were unruly and ostentatious, riding fat horses and wearing light furs, and stopped in front of a restaurant.
One of them turned around and saw Li Yueyao wearing a muzzle hat.
So he reached out and pulled the person next to him and said, "Look at that young lady over there, she looks like a stunning beauty."
The people around her took a look and said, "She's covering her face with a veil. How do you know she's not ugly?"
Seeing this, another person leaned over and asked, "Want to make a bet?"
"Bet. What?"
"I bet you'll treat." The other two stood up and said.
"If you want to treat me, then please do. I am the Second Young Master of the Duke of Chengguo Mansion. How could I not afford to treat you to such a meal?"
The person who is speaking is the second son of Duke Chengguo, Chen Shize.
Duke Chengguo married the emperor's half-sister, Princess Zhaoyun, so Chen Shize was the emperor's nephew and Li Yueyao's great-nephew.
After Chen Shize finished speaking, he walked forward with a smile, bowed to Li Yueyao and said:
"My name is Chen Shize, the Second Young Master of the Duke of Chengguo's Mansion. This lady has a slender figure and an extraordinary appearance. What should I call her?"
Li Yueyao was stunned for a moment when she saw the person who suddenly appeared in front of her.
Was he molested in the street?
I also heard the other party say that he was the second son of Duke Chengguo. Isn’t this the son of that girl Zhaoyun?
He's grown up now, can he come out and tease his grandma on the street?
Cuiwei and Ganhong came up from behind and were about to speak, but Li Yueyao raised her hand to stop them.
Li Yueyao smiled and said, "This young man is not a gentleman to approach a young lady in the street like this."
Seeing that Li Yueyao was paying attention to him, Chen Shize continued with a smile in his voice:
"Young lady, casually chatting with a man on the street, is not what a decent woman does, right?"
You little bastard, you mocked your great aunt and said I'm not a good woman...
Seeing that Li Yueyao didn't say anything, Chen Shize took a step closer and asked with a smile, "Which family are you from, young lady?"
Li Yueyao sneered: "I am your grandmother."
Chen Shize thought Li Yueyao was insulting him and immediately showed anger:
"My grandmother passed away many years ago. I want to see who you are. How dare you call me grandmother?"
As he said that, he reached out to pull Li Yueyao's hat.
Gan Hong took a step forward and kicked the man out.
Although Chen Shize was kicked far away, he also pulled off Li Yueyao's hat.
"How dare you be so rude to Princess Jinyang." Cuiwei scolded harshly.
Chen Shize was kicked to the ground, crying out in pain.
When the other two heard the name of Princess Jinyang, they quickly helped Chen Shize up and came over to pay their respects.
Chen Shize stepped forward and took a closer look at Li Yueyao. He endured the pain and stepped forward to salute and said, "Greetings, great aunt."
"Meet the Grand Princess of Jinyang."
"Now that the veil has been removed, can you see clearly which family I am from?" Li Yueyao said with a faint smile.
"Grandma, please spare my life..."
Chen Shize quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
Before Li Yueyao could say anything, a man suddenly jumped out of a carriage passing by on the street and stood directly in front of Li Yueyao.
His eyes were full of disbelief, scrutinizing and sizing her up, staring blankly at Li Yueyao's face.
Li Yueyao felt terrified by the man's gaze. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Chen Shize and the other two bow and say, "Greetings to the Right Prime Minister."
After hearing this, Li Yueyao suddenly realized that this person was Feng Shenyu?
After looking it up and down carefully.
Well, not bad, she lives up to the name of Fengshenruyu, she is really good-looking.
If this happened in modern times, he would be even better than those top male models.
The main thing is that this person has the noble air of a superior.
Li Yueyao saw that the other party was also looking at her with good eyes.
He smiled and said politely, "Nice to meet you. Your way of making an appearance is quite unique."
Feng Shenyu was just in the carriage, about to turn and go to Chunshan Teahouse. The wind blew up the curtains, and he saw the person he had been thinking about at a glance.
So he rolled over and jumped out of the car.
I stared at the person's face carefully, and it was indeed her. I finally found her, it was really her...
At this moment, Feng Shenyu felt that the world had stopped, and the only thing in his eyes was the person in front of him.
This is the person I have been looking for for ten years.
Compared to ten years ago, she has become more beautiful, like a dazzling and noble golden peony.
