"Humph!"

Shen Li snorted softly. It seemed that she had taken a fancy to Pei Yu and was waiting for her specially!

Her good mood was completely ruined, and she returned to the general's mansion with the purchased clothes and fabrics.

Although he knew that Pei Yu should not be implicated in this matter, he still suffered some consequences.

During the period before the wedding, Pei Yu had been very busy. He had already embroidered the red veil, but he just couldn't find time to look for Shen Li during this period. Sometimes when he found time, he found that A Li was avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally.

Finally finishing the work at hand, Pei Yu sat in the study. In front of him was a mahogany box, which contained an embroidered red veil.

Shen Li had just returned from a banquet when she saw a carriage parked in front of her house.

Not long after, a large hand with distinct joints reached in from outside, "Princess, I will help you get off the carriage."

"No need to trouble Your Majesty."

She refused, but Pei Yu didn't get angry. He reached into the carriage, accurately held Shen Li's hand, and helped her out of the carriage.

From time to time, a carriage would pass by outside. Only after he pulled it into the mansion did Shen Li ask, "Why did you have time to come here today?"

Pei Yu didn't answer, but pulled her to continue walking until they came to the pavilion in the garden, then he stopped and pushed her to sit on the stone bench.

"Where did Ali go to play today?"

"The Princess of Yan invited me to a banquet, and I went there since I had nothing else to do."

"did you miss me?"

"Think about it."

Shen Li leaned on the table and looked at him, "Why do you have so many questions today?"

Pei Yu also sat down. "I'm not afraid that I'm a dull person. What if my wife gets bored and runs away?"

Ignoring his hint, Shen Li asked, "Is the red veil embroidered?"

"Ah."

Pei Yu took out a piece of red cloth from his sleeve, which was embroidered with delicate patterns.

"Ali, take a look. If you are not satisfied, I will show you another one."

Shen Li spread it out and looked at it. She had to admit that he was very talented in this area. The lotus he embroidered was lifelike and even more beautiful than the one in the book.

The nameless anger in her heart suddenly dissipated halfway. Shen Li was not angry with him, but with this era. The general environment was like this, and some things had to be figured out before marriage.

"Ah Yu, what do you think of Miss Cheng?"

Pei Yu frowned slightly, "Ali, why do you mention her?"

"I think she is a gentle and sensible person, and she is quite good. What do you think?"

Pei Yu looked at her smiling face, as if he suddenly knew why Ali had ignored him these days.

Shaking his head, "Really? I was busy when I met him and didn't pay much attention to her appearance. Why did A-Li mention her? But there is a suitable candidate for a husband."

"No, I just ran into her on the street that day and chatted with her for a while, so I thought she was quite interesting."

Pei Yu frowned slightly. According to Tian Qing, they only met from a distance and could still recognize each other on the street.

"I don't know much about it. I have asked Tianqing to look for soldiers of the right age in the army and let her choose herself when the time comes."

The curve of Shen Li's mouth was more sincere. "Aren't you betraying the girl's trust a little bit?"

Pei Yu looked at Shen Li and said, "As long as I don't disappoint A-Li, I don't care about other people."

Shen Li was very satisfied with the answer she wanted. She gave him a big smile without any hesitation.

Pei Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that this hurdle was passed.

He walked to Shen Li's side and hugged her from behind, "Ali, it's been a long time since we last met. Did you miss me?"

His warm breath sprayed on the back of her neck, and Shen Li moved uncomfortably.

"Didn't you ask this question just now?"

"I miss Ali so much."

Then he began to conquer the city and swallowed Shen Li's screams into his mouth. This time, Pei Yu's gentleness was different from the past, and there was a sense of strength and punishment in it.

Shen Li was able to contend with him at first, but later her body became weak and she could only collapse helplessly in his arms.

"Ali, you can say whatever you want to say, but don't hide from me."

Shen Li leaned in his arms without saying anything. A Yu probably didn't know that he had met so many people. People's hearts have been vicious and fickle since ancient times.

Because of love, there is fear in the heart.

"it is good."

After a long time, Shen Li responded softly. Pei Yu hugged her tightly in his arms and said nothing more.

In the afternoon, the people from the Clothing Bureau brought another wedding dress for Shen Li to try on. Pei Yu waited outside the yard but did not go in to see.

Listening to the exclamations and praises coming from inside from time to time, one can imagine that Ali must be very beautiful.

Although he really wanted to see Shen Li in her wedding dress, he wanted to wait until the day of their wedding, so he could only try to restrain himself.

"Ali, Zi'an is outside. Do you want him to come in and take a look?"

Shen Li shook her head, "Mom, no need, he will be able to see it on the day of the wedding."

She could probably guess what Pei Yu was thinking. Coincidentally, she had the same thought, so the two of them cooperated with each other very tacitly.

Ten days before the wedding, Lu Jing brought Lu Nian here.

"Sister Ah Li!"

Lu Nian trotted towards Shen Li. Perhaps because he was a little older, he did not jump into her arms like before.

Shen Li looked at her. The little girl was half a head taller than him, with skin as white as snow and delicate eyebrows and eyes. She was well raised by her brother.

"Why are you here at this time?"

Lu Jing held her arm and rested his head gently on her arm.

"I came here with my brother. He brought me to attend Sister Ali's wedding."

Lu Nian looked up at Shen Li and said, "Sister, I also selected a lot of wedding gifts for you, and my brother also selected with me."

Shen Li touched her head as before, "Thank you, A Nian."

"Sister A-li, when you go to Jingnan Palace, can I still come and play with you?"

"Don't you live in Yangzhou? Why did you come to visit me?"

Lu Nian raised his head, smiling, "My brother said that the focus of the business will gradually shift to Beijing, so he brought me here as well."

"So that's how it is. As long as I'm in the lake, you can come over."

"hey-hey."

The Lu family is now an imperial merchant, so it is not wrong to shift the focus of their business to the capital.

During lunch, Shen Li also met Lu Jing. After becoming an imperial merchant, the boy seemed to be calmer and more composed than before, and he had grown up visibly.

"The county lord."

Ever since Pei Yu talked to him last time, he rarely called her Ali or Sister Ali in public.

"coming."

"Ah."

There was no need for too many words, as the two of them were quite familiar with each other, so some things were tacitly understood.
