My old husband who can read minds

In late February, spring is coming, and the peach blossoms in Fulong Temple are blooming.

Shen Yuan ordered his servants to put away the winter clothes and quilts, take out new cloth and start tailoring the new season's spring clothes.

At this time, news came from the court: Princess Yumin from the Northern Territory was about to arrive in Beijing.

For Shen Yuan, this is not something to be happy about.

Shen Yuan was fully aware of the plot that Qin He suffered in the Northern Territory Royal Court last year, so she knew very well that Princess Yumin came to Beijing again, and she was afraid that she would still be evil.

Those who come are not good, this is the consensus of Qin He and Shen Yuan.

Sure enough, at the end of the month, the envoy from the Northern Territory who escorted Princess Yumin entered the capital in a big way, and Dayong still treated him like an honored guest.

The purpose of Princess Yumin's visit to Beijing was clear, and it was still the same as before, which was to marry her relatives.

However, Princess Yumin and the Northern Territory envoy were reluctant to tell Emperor Qianyuan which talented Yong man they wanted to marry. They only gave an ambiguous statement: "The fate has not come yet, wait and see." .”

The marriage between the two countries was a political matter, and the court could be said to be fully prepared. Since the woman said that she had not chosen a husband yet, Dayong had no choice but to relax the deadline and allow Princess Yumin and the Northern Territory envoy to stay in Beijing for a longer period of time.

The days of Qin He and Shen Yuan were as usual, as calm as water, as if nothing happened.

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-March, and the peach blossoms on the mountain were already blooming. It had been more than half a month since Princess Yumin came to Beijing.

On this day, Shen Yuan took Mo Zhu and several confidants out of the house to buy new jewelry at the "Yinque Tower". As soon as they picked out a few new designs, they met Princess Yumin and her party unexpectedly.

Looking at the dressed-up Princess Yumin, Shen Yuan showed a faint smile.

The other party appeared in front of him like a peacock with its tail spread out. It was a naked attempt to overwhelm him with its beauty.

Unfortunately, Shen Yuan was not fooled and pretended not to recognize the person and continued to choose jewelry as if nothing happened.

As she watched Shen Yuan pass by her, as if she was transparent, Princess Yumin's astonished brows revealed a hint of embarrassment.

"Mrs. Qin..." Princess Yumin called loudly to stop Shen Yuan who was looking down at an jade bracelet.

Shen Yuan raised her head to look at the source of the sound and asked with a confused expression, "Is this girl calling me Madam?"

Princess Yumin suppressed her anger and said in a strange tone: "Young Madam Qin is really a noble person who forgets things a lot. After seeing each other for several months, she completely forgot about this princess.

Shen Yuan squinted her eyes and looked at the other person up and down, then she looked like she suddenly realized it, and said with a fake smile: "It turns out to be Princess Yumin, no wonder she looks familiar. I have always been face-blind, and when facing unimportant people Or unusual people, always can't remember their faces, it's an old problem, please don't blame me, Princess."

Princess Yumin's pretty face turned red with anger, but she didn't want to get angry.

Even if she knew that the other person was pretending to be stupid, she couldn't follow suit, otherwise she would be humiliating herself.

"This princess has never heard of such a strange disease. I think that with this strange disease, Mrs. Qin's daily life must be very inconvenient, right?"

Princess Yumin asked with false concern, but in fact she was angry and wanted to fight back.

Shen Yuan smiled calmly and replied: "The world is huge and full of wonders. Princess, you have seen it today. It just so happens that I like to reminisce about old times, and all those familiar faces coming and going around me are not inconvenient. On the contrary, it is a convenience." A lot of heart.”

Princess Yumin had a lump in her throat. She didn't know how to continue the conversation and simply changed the topic. "Today, by coincidence, I rarely meet Mrs. Qin here. Meeting is fate. Why don't I, the princess, take charge of it and let's go to a nearby tea house to chat. I wonder if Mrs. Qin can give me a favor?"

Shen Yuan responded with a smile: "Since the princess has extended her warm invitation, I would be disrespectful to refuse."

There were more and more female customers in the silver building, and they all looked at them curiously.Shen Yuan didn't want to have an argument with Princess Yumin in front of others, and she didn't want to become someone else's conversation piece, so she agreed to the other party's invitation.

A smile of success flashed in Princess Yumin's eyes, Shi Shiran made a "please" gift to Shen Yuan and stepped forward.

Shen Yuan signaled to several personal maids and followed them out of the silver building.

There is a double-story teahouse not far from the Silver Building. The word "noble" can be seen from the appearance alone. Princess Yumin asked people to go in first and take care of it. After booking a private room, she invited Shen Yuan to come with her. enter.

The decoration in the private room is fresh and elegant, low-key and luxurious, which is very suitable for the mood of drinking tea.

Shen Yuan nodded with satisfaction and decided to have a big meal, since she was not the one paying the bill anyway.

So when the waiter brought the menu, Shen Yuan deliberately ordered the most expensive tea and pastries in the store.

As the eldest wife of Marquis Wenxin, such consumption was normal for her. Princess Yumin would naturally not suspect that Shen Yuan was deliberately spending money on herself.

Not long after, two beautiful young women came into the private room, one holding a pipa and the other holding a tea set. They were obviously here to perform.

Princess Yumin wanted to have some private words with Shen Yuan, so she naturally didn't want too many outsiders to be present. After giving her a reward, she sent the two women away.

She casually summoned a round-faced maid beside her to take on the task of making tea.

Although the maid is from the Northern Territory, she has learned Dayong's tea art very well, and it is very pleasing to the eye.

Princess Yumin noticed Shen Yuan's eyes and smiled coquettishly: "I wonder if my maid's tea skills are authentic? Can she catch the eyes of Mrs. Qin?"

Shen Yuan praised calmly: "Yes, the princess has trained her well."

Princess Yumin made a pun: "I thought that if we got married in the future, I would definitely live with my husband in Dayong, so I asked all the servants around me to learn the etiquette of Dayong early, so that I could follow the local customs. "

"The princess has made preparations for a rainy day, and it seems she is determined to be my Dayong's wife. This is very good. With your example, princess, the people in the northern region will also be able to appreciate the profoundness of my Dayong culture in the future. A legend through the ages.”

Shen Yuan pretended to be amazed and boasted, his expression so serious that it didn't look like he was being fake.

Princess Yumin was once again choked and speechless. She clearly wanted to use this to hint to the other party that although she was from the Northern Territory, she would never lose to her, the daughter of a small official.

But for some reason, according to Shen Yuan, she seemed to be the unjust person who "forgot about her mother's family after having a husband."

Princess Yumin took a deep breath and recognized a fact.

If it comes to a dispute of words, I am afraid that I am no match for the Crown Prince's wife.

It seems that I still have to find another way to let the other party understand my deep meaning. (End of chapter)
