Chapter 87: Engagement
Zhong Bo was silent for a moment, thinking that if he could really kill more than 300 people in a row, he would be on par with His Highness.
Wait, why are we back to the question of who is on top and who is on the bottom?
The two chatted as they walked.
Uncle Zhong shook his head and said, "But where did he get all these things? And why did he move them to the palace?"
Chang Liu's mind suddenly turned and he said excitedly, "I know!"
"What do you know?" asked Uncle Zhong.
Chang Liu said seriously: "When a man and a woman get married, don't they have to give betrothal gifts and dowry? I think this is what it means. It is said that the betrothal gifts should be given first. At that time, the rain was to betrothal. He wants to marry our family..."
Before he could finish his words, he was slapped in the face by Zhong Bo.
"Nonsense!" Zhong Bo was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "No matter what, our prince is marrying her, how can it be marrying her?"
Chang Liu seemed to understand, "That means... Shi Yu will marry into the family!"
"That's the truth." said Uncle Zhong.
After a pause, he quickly made amends, "No, no, no, absolutely, absolutely impossible! Our Highness has nothing to do with Shi Yu, and they will marry each other in the future."
While chatting, the two arrived at Qingpu Residence.
Seeing the two people coming back, Xie Tingzhou looked up and asked, "Is everything arranged?"
Both Zhongbo and Changliu looked unhappy.
Zhong Bo replied respectfully: "It's all arranged. Shi Yu will find someone to count together with the people in the warehouse to avoid any mistakes later."
"Yeah." Xie Tingzhou closed a document and replaced it with another one. When he looked up, he saw the two of them still standing there.
"Anything else?"
Zhong Bo thought about it and realized that Xie Tingzhou would not listen to him at this time, so he needed to take it slowly, so he said, "No problem."
"What's wrong with him?" Xie Tingzhou pointed at the listless Changliu.
Chang Liu leaned his head against the door, as if he had lost money.
Chang Liu said aggrievedly, "I liked a jar on Shi Yu's antique shelf, and he said he wanted to give it to me, but Uncle Zhong wouldn't let me take it."
Xie Tingzhou put down his pen and said, "It's right not to take it. What do you want the jar for?"
Changliu blinked, "I want to take two turtles from the pond and raise them."
Zhong Bo looked disappointed and said, "Your Highness raises eagles and leopards, but you want to raise turtles."
Changliu's neck shrank.
Xie Tingzhou said: "Let Uncle Zhong go with you to find you a jar."
Chang Liu pinched his sleeve and stammered, "It's not as pretty as Shi Yu's. I like the pink one."
Xie Tingzhou was speechless for a moment.
…
After the things were moved away, the yard was empty again, and Dahuang finally didn't have to be locked up in the house anymore and could run around freely.
Spring began a year ago, but the spring rain only started yesterday.
Dahuang ran happily in the yard for the whole afternoon, dug a hole in the corner and rolled in the mud.
Chen Yu and Erya boiled some water and placed a wooden basin in the yard for Dahuang to bathe, and then they heard two gentle knocks on the gate.
Chen Yu stood up to open the door, and did not forget to turn back to warn Da Huang, "Don't run!"
The gate of the courtyard opened, and several pretty girls stood at the door. They were the concubines from Beilin who lived in the courtyard next door.
Everything has been peaceful since they moved in, and I don't know what they suddenly came to my house for.
The one in pink said with a smile, "I have been in the mansion for a few days. Although I live next door, I have never come to visit you. I am sorry for being so rude."
Chen Yu hurriedly said, "Miss, you are too kind. I am just a guard."
The woman in pink just smiled and said nothing.
A woman with an oval face nearby handed over the bamboo basket in her hand and said, "This is the cake I made by myself. Let me give it to you. They are all unique snacks of Beilin. I learned how to make them from the old cook when I was in the palace. I heard that the prince loved to eat them when he was a child."
Chen Yu originally wanted to refuse, but after hearing the last two sentences, she hesitated.
Beilin’s unique snacks, she wanted to try what Xie Tingzhou loved to eat when he was a child.
Seeing that he didn't refuse, the melon-faced man said, "Let me help you take it in."
As he spoke, he gently pushed open another door and saw a little girl and an ugly local dog in the yard.
Chen Yu simply made way and said, "Please come in."
Then he walked over to Erya and said to her, "You can't play for too long. You need to go into the house and dry the clothes in a cup of tea at most. Do you hear me?"
Erya nodded obediently, hugged the wet Da Huang and said, "We will only play for half a cup of tea."
Chen Yu touched Erya's head and praised: "Good boy."
Da Huang barked twice after hearing this, as if he was dissatisfied with only praising Er Ya. Chen Yu touched Da Huang again and said, "You are good too."
"This yard seems to be bigger than ours.
The child is still big. "
"Yes, there seems to be a pavilion behind it."
"Your Highness is very generous."
Several girls had already entered the small hall, looking around.
The pink-shirted woman looked back and lowered her voice to ask, "Is it safe?"
The oval-faced man said, "Of course. I put in a colorless and odorless powder. He won't be able to taste it."
"But..." The pink-shirted woman was still a little worried, "What if he goes to find the prince after eating it?"
"Just lock the door." The other man had a pair of almond eyes.
Hearing the footsteps approaching, several people quickly shut up.
"Sorry, I'm late." Shen Yu stepped into the room, holding a pot of tea on a tray.
They looked at each other, and the pink-shirted lady said with a smile, "Sir, if you don't bring some snacks, they will get cold."
Chen Yu sat down and watched the melon-seed face take out the snacks from the food box and put them on the table.
The dessert was indeed beautiful, shaped like a lotus flower with the tips of the petals dyed light pink, making it look lifelike.
"Young master, please try it." The man with the oval face picked up a piece and put it on a small plate.
Shen Yu glanced at her.
The girl with the melon-seed face trembled inwardly, feeling a little guilty. She was afraid of being exposed, so she turned her face away and smiled timidly, "Sir, I'm afraid it's not good for you to look at me like this, after all, I am your concubine."
"I'm sorry." Shen Yu picked up the plate.
Several people watched nervously, not daring to breathe.
Seeing Shi Yu take a light bite, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Shen Yu nodded slightly, "It tastes good."
The oval-faced man smiled and said, "If you think it tastes good, eat more."
As they persuaded her, Chen Yu ate. After finishing a piece of dessert, Chen Yu waved her hand, slowly leaned towards the table, lowered her head and closed her eyes.
"Master Shi? Master?"
Seeing that Shi Yu didn't react, the pink-shirted woman asked in confusion, "What kind of medicine did you give me?"
The oval-faced man said, "What else could it be? Of course it must be something that can make him feel amorous."
"But how could he fall asleep after taking it? Did you give him a knockout drug?"
After the pink-shirted lady said this, the oval-shaped face became a little uncertain, "I remember the two bottles were different, I didn't take the wrong one."
"What should we do now?" one person asked.
