After rebirth, the cold prince clings to me every day

Chapter 2 It’s great to have you back...

"Also, I have a mother myself, so I wouldn't care to be your sister."

The implication is, don't be so self-righteous.

Pei Ji was silent: "Sorry, I didn't think well..."

Shen Mingyan frowned in disapproval, "Fourth sister, Mr. Pei also has good intentions..."

Shen Mingjiao glanced at her lazily, "In that case, then the third sister will repay the five hundred taels of silver on behalf of Mr. Pei!"

Shen Mingyan's face froze, she really didn't.

Today's Yongchang Houfu is just a showpiece, and she, a boudoir girl, really can't afford so much money at the moment! She looked at Pei Ji and stood there with a bewildered look on her face.

Pei Ji smiled reassuringly at her, took off a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Shen Mingjiao.

"I don't have that much money with me, so I'll use this jade pendant to pay for it!"

Shen Mingjiao took it and knew it was fine black jade, a piece worth at least a thousand taels.

She pushed the jade pendant back, "I said it was five hundred taels, no more than one cent, no less. If you don't have any cash with you, you can send your entourage back to get it, and we'll get it."

Pei Ji looked at her deeply and said, "Okay."

The Marquis of Yongchang's Mansion was only one street away from the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion. Within two cups of tea, the boy had taken out the banknotes.

Pei Ji handed five banknotes of one hundred taels to Shen Mingjiao,

Shen Mingjiao took the banknote, took out the marriage certificate, and tore it into pieces in front of the two of them.

Shen Mingyan stared at her in surprise.

Shen Mingjiao raised her head, met her eyes, and gave her a charming smile.

This marriage certificate caused her a lot of troubles in her previous life and later in her life.

Facing the other party's eyes that understood everything, Shen Mingyan instinctively panicked in her heart.

Shen Mingjiao waved her hand indifferently, "Okay, since the matter has been settled, I will leave first, you two please help yourself."

Pei Ji looked at her back as she left without hesitation. The matter was finally resolved satisfactorily, but for some reason, his heart was not as relaxed as he imagined.

No one saw it, but in the rockery opposite, sheltered by pines and cypresses, someone stood silently. A pair of blue, gem-like eyes stared closely at the slim figure.

There were too many things hidden in those eyes, including pain and confusion, which finally turned into longing and joy.

The man moved his lips, his voice was as soft as a gust of wind,

"It's great that you can come back..."

…

Shen Mingjiao returned to Qiangweiyuan with a stomach that was almost hungry and flattened. She couldn't help complaining about herself in the previous life. As for you! How can a man eat?

The maid Haitang was startled when she saw him coming in from outside, and asked blankly: "Miss... aren't you in the house?"

Shen Mingjiao looked at this little maid who had been with her for two lifetimes. Sure enough, no matter how many years passed, this face as delicate as a white flower was still so deceptive. She gently rubbed her head.

"Is there anything to eat? I'm starving."

Haitang was obviously stunned for a moment, and after she came to her senses, she responded with surprise on her face: "Yes, yes, yes, the big kitchen has given you your favorite steamed buns, are they still hot?"

Shen Mingjiao entered the room and sat down at the Eight Immortals table. There was a bowl of millet porridge and a cage of meat buns on the table. She picked up one and took a bite, and immediately frowned.

So boring! And she hates ginger!

She couldn't help but miss the crystal crab roe buns made by Chef Li of Prince Su's Mansion. They were fresh but not greasy, refreshing and silky.

He swallowed his saliva, then bowed his head and drank the millet porridge in resignation.

Alas! As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to simplicity. She has returned to before liberation!

I took another look at the furnishings in the room, and wow! Everything really doesn’t look pleasing to the eye!

She took out the 500 taels of silver notes that were still in her arms and sighed deeply. In her last life, the huanghuali wooden bed alone was worth 700 to 800 taels.

She couldn't help complaining about the unfairness of her fate. In other people's stories, rebirth is all about changing fate and taking revenge, but she felt that she was already at the peak of her life!

If she could, she just wanted to yell at the God of Destiny:

Please leave the opportunity to those in need, thank you!

…

On the other side, in the main courtyard of Yongchang Hou Mansion, Mrs. Hou received an invitation from the palace. Next month, the Queen will hold a flower viewing banquet and invite the female relatives of officials of the fourth rank and above in the capital to come to the palace for a gathering.

In fact, he was looking at the girl for the prince and King Su.

Mrs. Li put down the invitation and said to Shen Mingjiao, who was playing with various hairpin rings and jewelry:

"The Duke of Jingguo always adheres to rules. You and Mr. Pei are about to get engaged. Please don't go to this palace banquet."

Knowing that her daughter loved to go out, she comforted her: "Don't worry, when you marry into the Duke of Jingguo, there will be many such banquets in the future."

Shen Mingyan nodded obediently, "Mom, just take a few cousins ​​with you!"

Seeing that her daughter was rarely so well-behaved and docile, Mrs. Li was very pleased, "My mother, Yan'er, has grown up. This woman should be well-behaved and docile in order to be liked by her husband's family..."

Shen Mingyan responded obediently on her face, but she didn't care in her heart.

There are many docile and well-behaved women in this city, but few can please their husbands.

After Mrs. Li finished chatting about her daughter, she thought of something and reluctantly ordered the maid Cuiliu: "Go and inform the fourth girl that there will be a banquet in the palace next month. Let her prepare well so as not to lose the face of the Hou Mansion."

Shen Mingyan raised her head in surprise, "Fourth sister is going too?"

Mrs. Li waved her hand helplessly, "Yes! Mrs. Pei specially sent someone to tell me that I should bring the four girls to the palace banquet."

She complained dissatisfied: "Don't you think she clearly said that I treated my niece next door harshly? Besides, this marriage was originally yours. If the Pei family hadn't been in trouble, who would have gotten the fourth girl? Now the Pei family is looking at returning to its former self.

Glory, naturally she doesn’t want her son to marry an orphan?”

"Alas! You, your future mother-in-law! You look gentle and kind, but in fact you have more thoughts than anyone else..."

Shen Mingyan's eyes flashed slightly, remembering the look Pei Ji gave Shen Mingjiao before leaving that day. She gritted her teeth, raised her head and said, "Mom, I'll go to the Moon Palace banquet next time too."

…

After finally convincing her mother, Shen Mingyan returned to the courtyard and turned away from the maid. She took out a lavender smoke gauze skirt from the side of the wardrobe and gently brushed the soft fabric with her fingers.

After a long time, she called the eldest maid He Xiang: "Give this dress to Cuiliu next to mother, and ask her to send it to the fourth sister's Rose Garden in the name of mother, saying that it is the dress to be worn on the day of the palace banquet.

"

…

In the Rose Garden, Haitang happily sent Cuiliu away. Holding up the purple skirt, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow! What a beautiful skirt, the girl will look great in it!"

Shen Mingjiao stretched out her slender index finger and tapped the little girl's eyebrow: "If you like it, I'll give it to you."

Haitang shook his head and said seriously: "Only girls can wear beautiful clothes."

Shen Mingjiao felt a little warm in her heart. She knew that this was not a compliment.

She stared at the gorgeous dress in front of her, her eyes gradually becoming trance-like.

Because of this palace banquet in her previous life, her destiny completely changed.
