Get the golden finger at the beginning: Enjoy the journey of escaping from the famine

Although Shen Li didn't see it, she clearly heard the sound of her father taking a breath of cold air.

After exchanging a glance with their fourth brother opposite them, the two siblings smiled at each other and turned their heads away tacitly to give Shen Changshan some face.

After turning around, the smile on Shen Li's lips disappeared. She didn't expect to meet Shen Jiaojiao today. She thought they would never see each other again after they parted on the road to escape famine.

I didn’t expect that we were so destined to meet in Beijing.

Thinking of the hatred in Shen Jiaojiao's eyes, a hint of anger flashed across her eyes. She hated him now, but who should she blame for what Shen Changshan's family had experienced before!

And what about Shen Li, who was harmed by her? Who should she blame for this innocent life?

After Xie Yunche sent the Shen family away, he hurried to find Shen Jiaojiao. He wandered outside the yard for a long time but did not go in.

When Shen Jiaojiao calmed herself down and came out, she saw him pacing outside.

"My lord, why are you here?"

When Xie Yunche saw Shen Jiaojiao running towards him with a look of surprise on her face, the words he wanted to ask were stuck in his throat.

Especially when he met Shen Jiaojiao's beautiful and somewhat bewitching eyes, he couldn't say the words he wanted to ask.

"Jiaojiao, do you want to live with the Shen family?"

When he couldn't ask the question he wanted to ask, he would try another one.

Shen Jiaojiao shook her head and smiled sweetly, "Prince, why do you have such an idea? Jiaojiao can't go back."

The smile on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by a look of dejection, "Jiaojiao is already a prostitute, going back will only affect the marriages of my nephews and nieces at home, why should I go back?"

Xie Yunche only saw her looking at him carefully, and asked tentatively: "Does the prince dislike Jiaojiao?"

Seeing Xie Yunche remained silent for a long time, tears gradually filled her beautiful eyes. She opened her mouth to say something, but couldn't. It was very unbearable to watch her.

"Your Majesty, Miss He is here to visit."

At this time, Xiao Linzi came in from outside the yard and interrupted their conversation.

"Your Majesty, you have a distinguished guest, Jiaojiao will not disturb you."

When she turned around, a tear fell from the corner of Shen Jiaojiao's eye, and that tear just happened to fall on Xie Yunche's hand.

Shen Jiaojiao returned to her room. She naturally knew that Miss He was the future Princess of Yan. She was not sure whether she could confront her yet, so it was better for her to avoid the limelight for the time being.

Xie Yunche felt the cold liquid on his hand. It was clearly not warm at all, which made Xie Yunche feel very bad. He walked away with a sullen face.

Xiao Linzi looked back at the tightly closed door. He didn't expect that this delicate girl had some tricks to make the prince pay attention to her.

However, our prince is a kind-hearted person. Although he was a bit dissolute in the past, he never bullies men or women. When he meets poor people, he will even give some money.

I just don't know whether the prince feels pity or loves this delicate girl.

Pei Yu didn't come back until the evening. Shen Li saw that he looked very tired and asked him the reason.

Pei Yu leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh. Xie Yunci had not left the palace for a long time. When he came out today, he was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, and he didn't even bother to listen to a word of advice.

"Ali, I'm fine. I just accompanied His Majesty to many places and I'm a little tired."

"Where do you mean many places?"

Thinking of this, Pei Yu's mouth twitched, "Not much, I just ran around the west and east of the city and the suburbs."

After hearing this, Shen Li fell silent, which was unusual for her. Even though they had been out since noon, it had been less than three hours. She suddenly wanted to know how the two of them had managed to escape.

Suddenly Shen Li smelled a faint smell of blood on him. As he had changed his clothes, she suddenly guessed something, walked over to him, pulled him up and examined him carefully.

"What's wrong, Ali?"

"Did you encounter an assassin?"

Pei Yu held her hand and pulled her back to sit on the chair. "Yes, we encountered an assassin. Don't worry, I'm not hurt."

Shen Li asked with a strange look on her face: "Is this assassin targeting you or the emperor?"

You can't blame her for asking this question. Who made Pei Yu so popular with assassins before?

"It's aimed at the emperor."

"Who is so brave?"

Pei Yu shook his head, "It has affected the emperor's interest at the moment, and he decided to investigate it himself."

Pei Yu had a complicated expression. If the assassin had not affected his mood, he might not have returned to the palace tonight.

Shen Li held his hand and said, "I'm glad that A Yu is okay."

Hearing footsteps outside, Shen Li let go of his hand. The person coming was Lin Cuicui, "A Li, it's time for dinner."

When he saw Pei Yu was there, he was slightly surprised, and then quickly asked, "Has Ayu eaten?"

Pei Yu shook his head, "Not yet."

"Then let's eat together and go."

Pei Yu rushed to the private residence right after sending the emperor back to the palace. He had not even been back to Prince Jingnan's Mansion. No, it should be said that he had been back only a few times after he returned to the court.

……

A few days later, the streets of the capital were decorated with lights and there were endless streams of people walking on the streets, including many people dressed in strange costumes. They were from a small country near Beiyuan.

They used to pay taxes to Northern Qi, but later when Northern Yan was established, they all sent gifts to congratulate.

Xie Yunche had not given most of it in previous times, but this time, since many remaining issues had been resolved after the army returned to the capital, he decided to give most of it.

The reason they came this time was to congratulate Xie Yunci on his birthday. Of course, many countries brought their princesses with them, as they believed that marriage was necessary to consolidate relations in addition to their own interests.

The Shen family didn't go out for a stroll these days. Shen Li wanted to take them out several times, but they refused, so she gave up the idea.

Shen Qian'an went to the Imperial College to register two days ago and was successfully enrolled in the college. He packed his luggage and lived in the college that day. He would not return until the arrival of the Emperor's Birthday.

"Ali, your clothes look really nice."

Shen Li was wearing a purple brocade gown with plum blossom patterns made of silver thread on the hem. The hair accessories on her head were also in the shape of plum blossoms. She was holding a cloak with a white fox collar in her arms.

The outfits for Shen Li's parents, eldest sister-in-law and fourth brother were all prepared by Pei Yu. They were of ordinary styles, but the materials of the clothes were relatively expensive, but they were still wearable.

"Sister-in-law, you look very pretty in this outfit too."

Xu Taohua was wearing a blue dress, which matched her jewelry and made her look more gentle. However, Shen Li's next sentence made her blush.

"I'm sure my brother will like it when he sees it."
