Chapter 34(1/3)

He was embarrassed by him, why did the hatred value still be reduced? Shi Li was confused for a moment, and then he figured it out--

He didn't treat her as his own, so he wouldn't feel uncomfortable when he saw her embarrassingly, but instead felt happy.

...There are so many twists and turns in this person's heart. Shi Li sighed and walked with him into the yard. He walked more calmly than before. How could he not be calm? Even if he is embarrassed, he will only lose his own people. This is nothing to her, who has experienced many battles.

Because of their superior appearance and topicality, the two were noticed a lot along the way. Even the master of Nanyang, the king of Nanyang, looked at Shili a lot while greeting Chen Jingyan. In the end, Chen Jingyan blocked his sight intentionally or unintentionally, and the king of Nanyang withdrew his gaze.

Everyone exchanged greetings for a moment and sat down. As the chief minister of the dynasty, Chen Jingyan, now the most important figure in front of the emperor, was arranged in the seat at the lower right of the King of Nanyang. When everyone looked at the King of Nanyang, they could stare at the couple openly.

Shi Li was not used to this kind of gaze at first, and gradually got used to it. She sat next to Shen Jingyan with a calm look on her face. Seeing him drinking a few glasses of wine, she couldn't help but remind him: "Sir, don't be greedy."

She remembered that Chen Jingyan had a very poor alcohol tolerance and could get drunk for a day after drinking half a pot of flower wine. Every time he finished drinking, he would be like a child, pestering her and refused to let go. He made people laugh several times. Now that the meal has just started, he has already drunk three or four cups. Shi Li was a little afraid that he would make a fuss later.

Chen Jingyan felt a daze when he heard her reminder, but he quickly calmed down and looked at her calmly: "Madam, I am still the waste I used to lose my self-control after drinking two glasses of wine?"

Shi Li looked at his sober eyes and opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything. Yet, he has been in the officialdom for a long time and must have had a lot of social engagements, and he probably has practiced well in alcohol.

She smiled embarrassedly: "I'm just reminding the adults."

"No need, madam, please take care of yourself." Chen Jingyan looked at her with a gentle look, but his words were merciless.

Shi Li glanced at the women around her and found that although most of the people looked at her with some contempt, she was still a little envious.

...I guess I think she is so bad. Chen Jingyan is so kind to her, so I yearn for it. Shi Li glanced at Chen Jingyan's gentle expression and couldn't help but tickled.

"Madam eats vegetables." Chen Jingyan said, picking up a chopstick of vegetables for her.

Shi Li thanked her. As soon as she finished eating, another chopstick of vegetables was delivered to the bowl. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she reminded her implicitly: "Why do I do it myself."

"Why, my wife doesn't like me to serve you?" Chen Jingyan's eyes were filled with light.

Shi Li smirked: "No, it's just that when the adults pick up food for me, can I pick up some meat?"

"Women are beautiful when they are thin. When the lady eats so much meat at night, she will gain weight in the future, so let's forget it." After Chen Jingyan said that, a large chopsticks fell into the Shili Bowl.

Shi Li's face was about to be like bitter gourd. She silently lowered her head to eat, and for the time being she didn't care about talking to Chen Jingyan. Chen Jingyan casually curled the corners of her lips and filled herself with a glass of wine.

The couple's behavior was criticized in the eyes of others, and there were many things that they didn't like, but due to Chen Jingyan's identity, he did not dare to reveal it. However, the royal relative of the King of Nanyang, who was not so particular about such things, said loudly: "Mr. Shen, you are the chief minister of the dynasty at least. Isn't it a bit embarrassing to treat a woman so humbly?"

"The prince is joking. There is no humble or not in a husband and wife way. It's just your love and my wish." Chen Jingyan's smile remained unchanged.

The King of Nanyang tsk and glanced at Shi Li's face. Even if he didn't like this woman, he had to say: "Mrs. Chen is beautiful, no wonder you miss it."

Chen Jingyan smiled slightly and did not answer his comments on his wife.

"It's just that Mrs. Chen is good, the Nanyang women I give you are not bad. Lord Shen should not favor one or the other." The Nanyang King seemed to be chatting with him.

Shi Li's expression moved when she heard this and looked at Chen Jingyan silently. She had been in the Shen Mansion for so many days and had figured out some of the secrets.

Chen Jingyan, the chief assistant, is now in glory, but when he is climbing up step by step, there are always people who send some spies to Chen's mansion in the name of sending concubines. Chen Jingyan could not refuse at the beginning, so he had the women in the backyard. Although he is now out of control, there is no reason to send those people away.

The woman mentioned by the King of Nanyang is the Green Tea Book Tea Words sister at home.

Chen Jingyan At the beginning, when Shi Li heard him mention this person, he knew that Sister Yu must have said something to him in secret. He couldn't help but wonder how Chen Jingyan would deal with it.

Chen Jingyan's face remained unchanged, and calmly raised his glass to the King of Nanyang: "Thank you for your concern. Since I mentioned this, Chen also wants to discuss something with the prince."

"Oh?" The King of Nanyang leaned forward after hearing this, and waved his hand and stopped. The banquet became much quieter, and everyone looked at Chen Jingyan.

Chen Jingyan smiled slightly: "My wife is jealous and doesn't like Chen taking concubines very much, so Chen plans to dismiss all the women in the backyard, but he doesn't know if he should find a husband's house for them, or ask them to come back, and ask the prince to help Chen come up with an idea."

Shi Li blinked, but he didn't expect that he would take him out to block the sword... I'm afraid that after today, her reputation will become worse.

"Absurd! Those women are already your Chen Jingyan's people. If you dismiss someone at will, wouldn't you be heartbroken?!" The King of Nanyang did not expect that he would actually return the person to him, and immediately became angry, "Chen Jingyan, you have deep affection and friendship with Mrs. Chen, but don't be too flirted with other women."

"The prince is joking. Chen is deeply in love with his wife, so how could he touch other women? If the prince doesn't believe it, please ask several respected wives to check it out in person." After Chen Jingyan said that, he slowly curled up the corner of his lips despite the surprise gaze of the King of Nanyang. "Of course, if there is a problem with the test result, then you have to interrogate it carefully. Don't defame Chen's reputation."

Everyone: "..." You, a big man, want a reputation.

The King of Nanyang was stunned and looked at Shi Li with a dark face for a while: "Mrs. Chen also thinks so?"

Shi Li: "..." If you can't handle it, will he bully me?

Although Shi Li was reluctant to get involved, everyone's eyes were also gathered on her. She could only stand up with a dry smile and bow to King Yingying of Nanyang. Everyone raised their ears, and King Yang became alert, wanting to hear what this woman would say.

"Yes, I am jealous. Even if my husband didn't touch them, I was so angry that I was crazy when I thought of them eating my Shen family's food. I could only drive my husband away." Shi Li was full of righteousness.

Chen Jingyan heard her call herself husband in front of outsiders, and her eyes moved slightly.

Everyone: "..." They all thought that Mrs. Chen could hold on to Lord Shen, and they must be a very scheming person. They were also ready to make arguing about her, but they didn't expect that she would admit that she was jealous.

The King of Nanyang was also caught off guard by her. After being stunned, he pretended to be angry: "You woman! She is a loss of personal morality, but she asks her husband to be the only one. Isn't it too much?!"

"Yes." Shi Li looked serious.

King of Nanyang: "…"

Chen Jingyan curled a little curved up and then quickly put it down: "Li'er is bold, how can you talk to the prince like this? Apologize to the prince quickly."

"I'm wrong. I hope the prince will spare me this time because I don't know anything." Shi Lifu apologized, from being unreasonable to being pitiful, it was a seamless switch.

The King of Nanyang was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, but he was not good at really calculating with a woman. He could only look at Chen Jingyan again and persuade him from another perspective: "The woman is strong. If Lord Shen sends the person back, they feel humiliated and commit suicide in anger. What should I do? Even if it is not your fault, it may be your fault."

This is not a persuasion, it is simply a shady threat. Who doesn't know that those women have his loyalty among them? As long as he gives orders, the man will commit suicide immediately.

Chen Jingyan's eyes narrowed slightly, and the eyes were cold.

"Dare you ask the prince, do those women still have their parents and brothers alive?" Shi Li spoke with an innocent look on his face.

The King of Nanyang had no favors for her at all, but because so many people were there, he could only give her three-point face and reluctantly answer her question: "I only gave two women to Lord Shen. Those two were fatherless and motherless, and only the tribe members were alive. As for other concubines in the Shen family, I don't know."

Shi Li smiled slightly, "Even if there are no parents and brothers, there should be clan members. If there are clan members, there will be elders. If they commit suicide because Chen Mansion wants to dismiss them, they will completely abandon their parents and elders. This is unfilial. I Chen Mansion serves delicious food and drinks. They will also destroy my husband's reputation by dying. This is unrighteous. The prince sent them to the mansion in hopes that they can have a good end, but they failed the prince's expectations, which is unfaithful."

A smile flashed in Chen Jingyan's eyes, and then his eyebrows and eyes stretched out, while the King of Nanyang and the others were stunned for a moment.

Shi Li showed a bright smile while they didn't react: "I think that those who are so unfaithful and unfilial, I think that if they die, they should be beaten by those who have been betrayed by them. But my husband is kind-hearted and cannot do such a thing. I can only trouble the prince and the elders of their clan. When they die, I will ask someone to send the body to you."

"...What do I want to do for a corpse?" The King of Nanyang's face turned green.

Shi Li naively tilted his head: "Whip the corpse."

King of Nanyang: "…"

"Li'er, don't mess around. The prince just assumed that not those women would really commit suicide," Chen Jingyan paused after saying that, "If you really commit suicide, then do what you said."

"You!" The King of Nanyang watched the couple sing and reconcile, and was so angry that he couldn't speak.

The princess who rushed over hurriedly comforted her, and the officials with winks in the audience also began to raise their glasses, and the banquet resumed its lively again.

When Shi Li sat down, she could clearly feel the eyebrow flying around her. Fortunately, just now, the hatred value dropped to 55%, which was not in vain that she would block the knife for him. She sat quietly for a while, and couldn't help but joke and shock: "Sir, don't you say that you often stayed in their place, why are they still virgins now?"

"Talking too much will lead to death." Chen Jingyan said quietly.

Shi Li was speechless for a moment, and changed the subject with a sense of appearance: "Sir, you have caused me a lot this time."

Chen Jingyan took a glass of wine and said lightly: "Aren't you very happy to show off your limelight?"

"...I'm not happy. I'm the prince. I'm just a commoner. If I hadn't been to help you, I wouldn't have taken the risk of offending him," Shi Li said, deliberately lit his two little claws in front of him and showed him the crystal sweat in his palms. "Look, I'm really scared. When I think of him being able to kill me at any time, I almost couldn't say anything."

Chen Jingyan glanced at her palm, lowered his eyes and drank another glass of wine: "If you were not a personal morality, you should have been given a decree now. How dare he kill you?"

"Hmm?" Shi Li didn't hear it too clearly and looked at him in confusion, but Chen Jingyan had already ignored her.

Shi Li curled her lips and sat there quietly eating. Because her mission had been completed, she did not pay attention to anything else. She just focused on filling her stomach, her mouth was filled with a little squirrel. Everyone was just looking at her, and slowly was attracted by her interesting cheeks. Seeing her eating so much, she couldn't help swallowing.

The food in the Nanyang Prince Mansion is quite good, but the things are not very exquisite. Both meat and pastries are very large. Nowadays, everyone comes to be decent. In order to be elegant and beautiful, these large pieces of food naturally don’t eat. They just drink alcohol and tea, so they really can’t fill their stomachs. They can only watch Shili to satisfy their cravings.

Chen Jingyan keenly felt that everyone's eyes had changed. He paused his fingertips and looked down calmly. After seeing Shi Li's hard cheeks, his eyes couldn't help but darken.

As Shi Li ate, she noticed a dangerous gaze. She looked up silently at Chen Jingyan, and then looked at each other for a moment and asked innocently: "What's wrong?"

"I'll go to your place tonight." Chen Jingyan said lightly.

Shi Li: "..." The chicken legs in his hand suddenly stopped smelling good.

Halfway through the banquet, a group of outstanding women came forward to perform the dance. The King of Nanyang always had a dark face and looked unhappy. If the previous incident had not happened, he would have picked two of these women to give to Chen Jingyan. Now, not only were they not allowed to send them in, but those who were originally placed in the Shen Mansion would also be returned.

The Princess of Nanyang next to him looked at him like this and couldn't help but want to vent his anger for his men. After thinking for a moment, he called a maid. After giving a few instructions, the maid left hurriedly.

No one noticed this scene. After three rounds of wine, everyone relaxed a little and began to toast. Several people who had sex with Shen Jingyan gathered beside him. One of them drank so hard that his eyes were straightened. He raised his glass to Shili: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, brother, I'll give you a glass."

He took the lead and the others began to toast. Unlike outsiders, they knew that the Chen Mansion had many eyeliners that needed to be cleaned up. Now Shi Li was willing to be this evil person and took all the blame for Chen Jingyan, so they naturally felt admiration.

After Shi Li returned to this world, most of the time he faced him, and it was the first time that someone was willing to treat him with courtesy and quickly picked up the wine glass to respond. After all, there was a difference between men and women. After drinking this glass of wine, several people left Chen Jingyan. Shi Li breathed a sigh of relief and sat next to Shen Jingyan in a good mood.

"Everyone has gone to toast, why don't you?" She kindly talked to Chen Jingyan.

Chen Jingyan glanced at her: "They are worthy too?"

...OK, the topic ended. Shi Li twitched his lips and decided not to talk to him about these things. But he was also right. He was the chief minister of the dynasty. Although he seemed to be short of the royal relative of the King of Nanyang in terms of identity, he was far superior to the King of Nanyang in terms of real power. Now that only others toast him, how could he toast others?

Seeing the officials coming to toast in groups of three or five, Shi Li finally couldn't help but remind him in a short time: "Sir, let's drink less, be drunk carefully."

Chen Jingyan's eyes moved slightly, paused for a moment before looking at her.

"...I know, you think I'm meddling in other people's business again, but I really think you can't drink anymore." Shili took the lead and said the hurtful words he thought he would say, so that he had nothing to say.

I don’t know if Chen Jingyan really had nothing to say, so he nodded, then put down his wine glass. When someone came to toast again, he would use tea instead of wine. The others would be very grateful if he could get a look at him, so naturally he didn’t mind what he was drinking.

Shi Li breathed a sigh of relief and sat quietly beside him. After seeing the fatigue in his eyes, he was about to talk about going home when he heard the servant shouting: "The third princess is here!"

Everyone paused. First, they subconsciously looked at Chen Jingyan, then stood up and bowed. Shi Li hurriedly stood up and bowed her head. Then she saw a pair of women's pearl and jade shoes appear in front of her.

"Today is a family banquet in the Nanyang Palace. You guys don't have to be too polite, just get up." The woman said gently.
To be continued...
