The next day, when Ye Chuyan woke up, he found that his body was held by a big hand, and Pei Xiuyan had not left.
"Are you awake?" After a night's rest, Pei Xiuyan's slightly hoarse voice regained its previous clarity.
"Yeah." Ye Chuyan didn't want to talk too much to Pei Xiuyan. She planned to see Wu Mu today.
"Wash up and come out with me."
I felt the person in my arms stiffen, "What? Not willing?"
"No, it's just a little unexpected." Ye Chuyan said mockingly.
After three years of marriage, Pei Xiuyan never went out with her except for palace banquets.
"For the palace banquet on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, you have to dress up. I will take you to Lan Yue Pavilion in a moment."
Lanyue Pavilion is the largest garment manufacturing pavilion in Kyoto.
Ye Chuyan sneered in his heart. No wonder he took her to choose clothes in person. It turned out to be because he was afraid of losing the face of the Qing Palace in front of the people of Beirong.
After the two of them washed up, Pei Xiuyan did not let Bai Zhi follow him. He only arranged for a boy from his courtyard to follow him and asked Yan Pei to drive them out of the house.
After leaving the house, Ye Chuyan opened a corner of the carriage curtain and stared blankly at the bustling streets outside.
She couldn't remember how long it had been since she went out.
The last time I went out was to the execution ground.
In just a few dozen days, coming to the bustling streets again felt like a lifetime ago.
Pei Xiuyan was reading the paperwork. He looked up and saw Ye Chuyan looking sad, and said calmly: "Close the curtain, it's cold."
Ye Chuyan put down the curtain, picked up the tea cup on the tea table and took a sip. Pei Xiuyan lowered his head and continued to read the documents.
There is a cold breeze outside the car, and it is quiet and warm inside. If everyone didn't have their own thoughts, it would be a peaceful time.
In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the door of Lanyue Pavilion. Pei Xiuyan got out of the car first. Ye Chuyan was about to get out of the car when she saw Pei Xiuyan reaching out to her.
In front of everyone, she curled her lips, put her hand on Pei Xiuyan's, and let him lead her out of the car.
As soon as he got out of the car, Yan Pei whispered a few words to Pei Xiuyan. Pei Xiuyan's expression changed slightly and he said to Ye Chuyan, "I have something to do. I'll come back as soon as I go."
Ye Chuyan wished he would never come back. A faint smile appeared on his face, "Yeah."
Pei Xiuyan raised his eyebrows, Ye Chuyan was quite well-behaved today. He also told the servant to take good care of the princess, and then left with Yan Che.
As soon as Ye Chuyan entered the store, he heard a malicious greeting from behind. "Ah, isn't this Ye Chuyan, the legitimate daughter of Hou Guogong's family? Long time no see!"
"No, no, the Duke of Hou's mansion is gone."
Ye Chuyan raised his eyes and saw two young women coming in, and couldn't help but laugh. They were all acquaintances.
One of these two women is Zhang Xiuyu, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Punishment, and the other is Wu Mu's sister Xi, Wu Yuelin.
Wu Yuntai originally intended to curry favor with Pei Xiuyan and wanted to marry Wu Yuelin to him, but unfortunately, he got there first.
In addition, because Wu Mu ran away from home for several years and did not return, it was normal for Wu Yuelin to be unhappy with him.
I don't know how Zhang Xiuyu got involved with Wu Yuelin, but today she and she are as close as sisters.
Wu Yuelin's two words instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the store.
Ye Chuyan felt as if she was naked and exposed to the sun, allowing these people to look at her. There is surprise, contempt, sympathy...
The shopkeeper is an eunuch who was once a eunuch in the palace. After being released from the palace, he somehow ended up here as the shopkeeper.
He knew at a glance that these three people were not the ones he could offend.
She could only bite the bullet and said to Ye Chuyan: "Madam, you are here to choose clothes, why not go upstairs to see our new styles."
As he said this, he wanted to lead Ye Chuyan to the second floor. His face was smeared with white powder, his smile was white and his voice was high-pitched.
As long as the three people don't get into a fight in the store, he will be successful as the shopkeeper.
Wu Yuelin shouted: "Shopkeeper, take a look and see who is today's honored guest."
The shopkeeper smiled flatteringly and said, "Miss Wu, you are serious. Everyone who comes to the shop is a distinguished guest. Your presence today makes the shop prosperous. Take a look to see if there are any clothes you like in the shop. I will give you the lowest price in a while. price."
Wu Yuelin frowned.
"Shopkeeper, please stop fooling me, the Wu family is not short of money. Now get rid of those who are an eyesore, and I will take care of all the clothes in your store."
Zhang Xiuyu tugged on Wu Yuelin's sleeve. She felt that it was inappropriate for Wu Yuelin to attack Ye Chuyan like this.
Wu Yuelin pulled Zhang Xiuyu's hand away and continued to scold: "Shopkeeper, do you hear that? You know who is an eyesore, right?"
On a cold day, the shopkeeper's forehead was sweating after saying these few words, and he hesitated for a moment.
Just because Ms. Wu can offend someone doesn't mean he can offend someone.
Although Ye Chuyan is the daughter of a guilty minister, she still bears the title of Princess Qing. How can she be someone he can drive away casually?
Ye Chuyan saw the shopkeeper's embarrassment and just smiled brightly. "Shopkeeper, don't be embarrassed, I'll come back another day."
After saying that, he took the boy and left.
As soon as she left, people in the store began to whisper.
"When the Ye family fell, Ye Chuyan has become so humble now that he is not angry even if he is driven away in public."
"No, she has nothing but the title of Princess Qing. However, everyone knows that Prince Qing hates her."
"Oh, it's a pity, it's sad, it's deplorable."
"Everyone knows that the young master of the Wu family likes Ye Chuyan. If Ye Chuyan had chosen the young master of the Wu family and now became the young lady of the Wu family, maybe he wouldn't be so embarrassed..."
Wu Yuelin's face changed instantly when he heard others mention the old events. He said fiercely: "If you keep talking nonsense, believe it or not, I will tear your faces apart!"
The people around him immediately shut up.
Zhang Xiuyu took a step forward and comforted her in a gentle voice: "Sister Yuelin, don't be angry. They are praising Young Master Wu... If Ye Chuyan had married Young Master Wu at that time, he would have been reluctant to hurt Ye Chuyan."
Wu Yuelin looked back at Zhang Xiuyu, frowned and asked, "Do you also think my brother is very good?"
Zhang Xiuyu blushed when asked.
She had never met Wu Mu, but she often heard that Wu Mu was infatuated with Ye Chuyan and even ran away from home for her.
She first wanted to see what the infatuated young master of the Wu family looked like, and her father also intended to marry into the Wu family, so she became friends with Wu Yuelin.
When Wu Yuelin asked this question at this moment, it was as if the deepest secret in her heart had been revealed.
She hesitated and didn't know how to answer.
Fortunately, Wu Yuelin did not continue to discuss the matter. She just suppressed her displeasure, turned around, and began to ask the shopkeeper to introduce the clothes to her one by one.
Ye Chuyan came out leisurely with the boy.
"Did the prince say, if we don't go to Lan Yue Pavilion, where should we go?"
The boy is the boy in Pei Xiuyan's yard. He came out today because he was asked by the prince to keep an eye on the princess.
When asked by Ye Chuyan, he kept scratching his head and didn't know how to answer.
Ye Chuyan knew that this young man was talking softly and was not ready to let him make up his mind.
"Why don't we go to the Zuiqiu Tower opposite and wait. We can see the Lan Yue Pavilion from the private room on the second floor. When the prince comes to look for us later, we can also see it."
The young man didn't expect the princess to be so considerate and wanted to kowtow in thanks, so he agreed immediately.
The two of them went to the second floor of Zuiqiu Building and asked for a private room. The boy waited outside the private room consciously.
Ye Chuyan said that he wanted to eat snacks from Chenxinglou and asked the boy to come over. If the young man dares to disobey, he will just go away.
Not long after the boy passed by, Ye Chuyan said to the screen in the room: "Come out."
A young man in black walked out slowly from behind, with a smile on his face and eyes as bright as stars.
Ye Chuyan's heart seemed to be filled with clouds, extremely soft.
She wanted to smile at him, but tears burst out of her eyes.
Finally, with tears in his eyes, he whispered, "Little wood, long time no see."
