Chapter 421 First meeting
There was still a smile on her lips, but when she thought of the Shen Changshan family she met today, the smile gradually faded.
Meeting them now is not a good thing for me, but it is not impossible to take advantage of them to achieve my own goals.
Shen Changshan's family's encounter with Shen Jiaojiao had no impact on them. After all, they had separated a long time ago, and the little bit of family affection they had had long since disappeared.
Xie Yunche looked at Shen Changshan and Shen Li, "I didn't expect that you and Jiaojiao are actually relatives. I really didn't expect it."
Shen Changshan shook his head. "We didn't expect Jiaojiao to be here. We had already separated when we were fleeing from the famine. We thought we would never see each other again in this life. We have to thank the prince for letting us see Jiaojiao again."
Xie Yunche waved his hands, "Saying thank you or not is too polite. I really have a connection with your Shen family. I was saved by Jiaojiao on the road, and then I was saved by Yuanzhou. Tell me, is this a great connection?"
"Yeah, but it's really fate."
Shen Li looked at Xie Yunche with a bit of sympathy in her eyes. Shen Jiaojiao had a purpose in saving him from the beginning. It was probably because after the death of Old Lady Shen, no one was protecting her, and she was tired of finding food for them all day, so she met a gold nugget like him, so she saved him.
If this lump of gold was covered with mud and she couldn't tell it apart, do you think she would still save it?
But to be honest, this gold nugget is really too naive!
"Yeah, I think so too."
Seeing that Shen Li agreed with his point of view, Xie Yunche became very happy. He called for the actors to come over, and everyone moved to the stage to listen to the opera.
There was an opera being sung on the stage and the people in the audience were listening attentively, but few could understand it.
Shen Li propped up her chin and listened. I didn't need to watch the show to know that the one on the latest business trip was the one about Wu Song fighting the tiger. The clanging sounds of the song made me sleepy.
He had only heard half of the play when he saw a little eunuch running over from a distance. He leaned close to Xie Yunche's ear and said, "Your Majesty, His Majesty and Prince Jingnan are here."
"Has anyone been invited in?"
Xie Yunche was a little nervous. Why would his elder brother come with Brother Pei?
These two people getting together, wow, it gives me a headache just thinking about it.
Shen Li had good hearing, so he naturally heard it, but since Xie Yunche didn't say anything, he pretended not to hear it.
But looking at Xie Yunche's appearance, you can tell that the emperor is not bad looking, but I don't know what he is here for today.
Pei Yu followed Xie Yunci with a helpless look on his face. He didn't know why Xie Yunche had to tell His Majesty if he wanted to invite someone. Now, he had to follow him out.
"Your Majesty, have you finished your official duties today?"
Xie Yunci waved his hand, "My dear, why are you saying these things? Now that you are out, just have fun and don't say these things that spoil the fun."
Pei Yu: He knows how to be a hermaphrodite.
If his mood is ruined, he will call you "My Lord" to disgust him.
"I am worried that I might scare the Shen family."
Xie Yunci took out a small bronze mirror from his arms, looked at it as he walked, and carefully examined his face for a moment.
"Lord Pei, I don't look scary, so I won't scare them."
Pei Yu's mouth twitched, "Your Majesty, quickly put away your mirror, otherwise it will be seen by outsiders and affect your dignity."
Xie Yunci covered the mirror and shook it in front of him, "Does it look good? This was given to me by the imperial concubine."
Pei Yu nodded, "It looks good, but Your Majesty, you have been on the throne for more than two years. The position of the empress has been vacant for so long, it's time to decide, otherwise he will be unable to justify it to the ministers in the court."
"Humph."
Xie Yunci snorted coldly and put the mirror back into his sleeve. "Lord Pei, you really spoiled my fun today. If you spoil my fun again, when I see Miss Shen later, I will grant her a marriage with Yun Che."
Pei Yu was speechless for a moment, "It's not impossible, as long as you are not afraid that King Yan will cry in front of you every day."
Xie Yunci was puzzled: "Why?"
Pei Yu said succinctly: "I guess the King of Yan is afraid that he will die young, so he came to you to cry."
Xie Yunci stroked his chin and said, "You described Miss Shen as being so terrifying, aren't you afraid that she will get angry if she finds out?"
Pei Yu raised his eyebrows and asked back: "What did I say? I didn't say that Ah Li is scary. My Ah Li is so beautiful, how can she be scary?"
"Then why did I praise the imperial concubine like this? But she was very angry and even the bed... ahem, why is that?"
Thinking that what he said would damage his reputation, Xie Yunci quickly took back what he said.
"Wei Chen doesn't know."
Seeing that he had something else to say, Pei Yu quickly said, "We'll be at the garden soon, and the stage is just ahead."
He had no interest in knowing the emperor's private affairs.
"Yes, I know. Let's go."
"The Emperor has arrived~"
Before he even stepped onto the stage, the eunuch following the emperor shouted in a pinched voice.
Shen's family. During the time they were living in the training center, Pei Yu had someone teach them how to perform a salute, and they had already learned it systematically.
So when they heard that the emperor was coming, they were a little nervous, but not panicked.
When they heard the footsteps approaching, the Shen family knelt down together and said, "Your Highness."
Shen Li didn't want to kneel, but in this era where imperial power was supreme, she had no choice.
Since we are living in this era, we must abide by the rules of this era. These rules cannot be changed at will, unless you live in the mountains and forests all your life and never come out into the world, then you can live your life as you please.
"Flat body."
Xie Yunche stepped forward and said, "Brother, why are you free today? Are you not dealing with the memorials?"
Xie Yunci paused slightly, his younger brother was really a nobody.
"Why, I can't rest?"
Xie Yunche chuckled, "Of course you can. If you want to rest, then rest. Who dares to stop you?"
"Brother, come and sit down. What play do you want to hear? After this one, I'll have them sing it for you."
Pei Yu helped Shen Li up from behind, and the others could get up on their own.
"No hurry, who is Shen Li?"
In fact, his question was a bit redundant. There were only three female relatives present, and two of them had their hair in a bun. Not to mention that she was the only one who met the age requirement, there was no need to say who Shen Li was.
But who made him the emperor? No one would question him openly, and everyone could only talk in their hearts.
Shen Li walked forward calmly, "I am Shen Li."
Shen Li stood there, not looking him in the eye, nor showing any fear.
Xie Yunci was so angry that he laughed when he saw Pei Yu following closely beside him.
What does Pei Zian mean?
Is there anything else he can do to his fiancée?
