Pei Che sat in the carriage, the wheels rolled slowly forward, and the curtains swayed slightly.
Pei Che glanced sideways, looking through the gap in the curtains at Jiang Shiyuan who was standing stupidly by the side of the road. He was shocked at first, then he excitedly took out a pearl and held it high under the sun, his beautiful eyes curved into two crescents.
Pei Che chuckled.
Mrs. Pei had never seen her son like this before. She rolled her eyes and said with disdain, "Loading!"
…
Here, Concubine Jiang asked Jiang Shiyuan to stay in the palace for one night.
Jiang Shiyuan admired the dazzling light of the Dongzhu very seriously as if he had found a treasure. Then he put away his things and returned to Concubine Jiang's palace with great interest.
She was just thinking about using the Dongzhu to do something for Concubine Jiang, and when she was about to do so, she ran into Princess Wenhe who was leaving the palace.
"Princess, is that Jiang Shiyuan? How come she is not in the palace?" Princess Wenhe's dowry nanny Liu was the first to see Jiang Shiyuan and couldn't help asking.
"She must have known that Shi was going to the palace today, so she followed him in. I've never seen anyone so shameless."
Aunt Liu had a look of contempt on her face as she scolded Jiang Shiyuan, and Princess Wenhe did not seem to try to stop her. She just stopped and looked up at Jiang Shiyuan opposite her, waiting for him to come over to greet her and fawn on her, just like usual.
If it were in the past, Jiang Shiyuan would have certainly gone forward to greet her and been extremely respectful to Princess Wenhe.
Jiang Shiyuan was not sure how much she liked Chen Luchu, but what was certain was that she was very grateful to Chen Luchu for taking the initiative to talk to her when her life suddenly changed and she needed a friend the most.
She would always remember the first words that Chen Lvchu said to her. It was the first time she graduated with perfect scores and her name was written first on the commendation list.
She stood under the commendation board, and a handsome young man came over and smiled at her, "You are the first place? Very impressive."
At that time, Shen Luchu's eyes were filled with surprise, joy, and appreciation.
It was that appreciation that encouraged her.
She once thought that Shen Lvchu was the same as everyone else.
Apart from Shen Luchu back then, Lord Shen also treated her very well, with a kind face, remembered her birthday, and copied all the previous battle reports of his father and mother for her.
Therefore, even if she noticed that Princess Wenhe liked her, she would still respect her as usual.
But that was before.
Now...
Jiang Shiyuan walked right past Princess Wenhe as if he didn't see her.
Aunt Liu's voice was soft, but Jiang Shiyuan heard every word she said.
Since showing kindness is rewarded with respect, it would be better to just turn hostile.
Besides, she will never have any contact with Shen Luchu and the Shen family in her life, and no one can do anything to her.
Jiang Shiyuan walked straight past without even glancing at the master and servant opposite.
Princess Wenhe's expression froze, and then became even more gloomy.
Aunt Liu was so angry that she fell backwards, "Princess, look at her arrogant look!"
Princess Wenhe's face was extremely happy: "Don't bother. I originally thought that although she was born in a humble family, she was qualified to be my daughter-in-law, but considering her wholehearted devotion to Lu Chu, it would be reasonable to let her enter the house as a concubine. Now it seems that Princess Wenhe overestimated her."
"After all, he is a dead kid with no one to teach him. How can he be on the stage?"
Princess Wenhe's face was gloomy. Compared with Jiang Shiyuan's courtesy, what made her happier was her son's attitude today.
My son has always been respectful and filial, but today is the first time he has insulted her so directly.
Ever since Jiang Shiyuan appeared next to Er'er, she felt that she and Er were becoming more and more alienated.
OK!
She would never let her son be led astray by others again.
Princess Wenhe thought angrily, and when she returned to Marquis Wenyuan's mansion, she immediately ordered the gatekeeper that if Jiang Shiyuan came again, no matter what the reason was, he would be kicked out.
Upon hearing this, the servants at the gate looked at each other in bewilderment:
What's going on?
Half an hour ago, Shi returned home, and the first thing he did was to give them an order, asking them to let the Jiang family in immediately if they saw their carriage.
So should they let it go... or should they let it go?
…
It was dark at night. Jiang Shiyuan changed into the pajamas that Concubine Jiang had prepared for her personally and snuggled into Concubine Jiang's arms.
"Aunt, I'm here."
Imperial Concubine Jiang patted her butt and said, "You're already married, why are you still so naughty? I arranged a bed for you to sleep on, why do you come and squeeze with an old woman like me?"
"I want to have a private chat with my aunt." Jiang Shiyuan hugged Concubine Jiang's waist and said coquettishly.
"Aunt, please tell me quickly, what leverage do you have over the Pei family?"
Jiang Shiyuan asked the questions that he had been holding in his mind for a day.
Concubine Jiang was stunned: "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Jiang Shiyuan continued: "How could Master Pei agree to marry me? I always thought it was Pei Ye who was going to marry me."
Concubine Jiang was stunned again and asked in surprise: "Is this the reason why you have been sulking for three years? Do you think your aunt will promise you to Pei Ye?"
"How could Pei Che accept the marriage?" Jiang Shiyuan asked back.
Imperial Concubine Jiang's eyes flickered, and after a pause, she said vaguely, "That was an arranged marriage by the Emperor, and he had to obey."
Jiang Shiyuan was shocked again: "The emperor arranged a marriage for us? Why would the emperor arrange a marriage for us?"
If the emperor had arranged the marriage, why didn't anyone inform the general's mansion? Why did they allow her to disobey the emperor's order three years ago? ”
"How? Why? The Jiang family has been a military family for generations. Your parents sacrificed their lives for Xie Linyuan. Their bodies have not been found until now. How can I ask for a marriage for you?"
Concubine Jiang suddenly became excited and her breathing became rapid, but before she could finish her words, two arms came around and hugged her tightly.
Jiang Shiyuan hugged Concubine Jiang and said softly, "Okay, okay, Wanping is angry, and everything Wanping said is right."
Wanping, Jiang Wanping, is the maiden name of Concubine Jiang.
Concubine Jiang was stunned for a moment. It had been a long time since anyone called her by her maiden name.
Imperial Concubine Jiang calmed down, turned to look at the girl in front of her, and felt a sore nose.
Obviously she was the saddest one, but she turned around to comfort others.
"My dear, what God loves you, will be returned to you one day. Believe in your aunt, Master Pei is worth it." Imperial Concubine Jiang said earnestly and meaningfully.
What Jiang Shiyuan was thinking was, if it was really the emperor who arranged the marriage, did that mean that the emperor's uncle would also be happy to see the Pei family become the support of his cousin?
In other words, the emperor's uncle thinks highly of my cousin, and my cousin has a very high chance of becoming the crown prince.
Could this be the fundamental reason why Master Pei accepted the marriage, his so-called desire to go a step further?
