In the living room of the Cheng Residence.
Zhangsun Wugou and Pei Cuiyun sat in the main seat, Li Lizhi and Li Shu sat on the left, and Li Zhenying sat opposite them.
As for Cheng Chen, he didn't have a seat. Li Lizhi and Li Shu placed him on the tea table between them.
Looking at his seat, Cheng Chen smiled bitterly. I'm even higher than the Empress!
The atmosphere in the living room was somewhat awkward. Zhangsun Wugou didn't know what to say, but Pei Cuiyun didn't feel anything.
"Your Highness the Empress, this official originally wanted to enter the palace to pay his respects to you, but I didn't expect you to come early.”Pei Cuiyun smiled.
"Come, Empress, have some snacks and fruits. Don't stand on ceremony. It wasn't easy for you to come.”
Faced with Pei Cuiyun's enthusiasm, Zhangsun Wugou didn't want to be restrained. She smiled and said,""Sister Cheng, there are no outsiders here, and we're at home. Let's call each other sisters.”
Zhangsun Wugou and Pei Cuiyun had a good relationship. They had known each other before the Tang Empire was established.
The two of them were very close and often lived together. Speaking of which, when Cheng Chen was born, the first person to carry him was Zhangsun Wugou.
It was said that the baby would look like the first person who held the baby. Zhangsun Wugou had always thought that it was his credit for Cheng Chen being so cute, so he liked Cheng Chen even more.
"Haha, since the Empress has said so, then this subject will respectfully obey.”
"Sister, why are you here today?" Pei Cuiyun smiled and asked.”
Zhangsun Wugou sighed and looked at Cheng Chen." It's all because of this brat.”
"Xiao Chen caused a ruckus yesterday and Zhi 'er and Shu' er stopped eating. His Majesty and I had no choice but to bring Zhi 'er and Shu' er to visit.”
"Your Majesty, you mean to let Zhi 'er and Shu' er stay in the Cheng Mansion for a few days and let them deal with it themselves. If it really doesn't work out, we will intervene.”
When Pei Cuiyun heard this, she was extremely happy," That's great! It's an honor for the Cheng Residence to have two princesses living in it!”
"It's settled then. There are many rooms in the Cheng residence. I'll get someone to clean up three of them immediately.”
"Princess Chang Le, Princess Gao Yang, and Zhen Ying, you all can stay here.”
"If there's anything you're not used to, just say it. I'll do it for you immediately.”
Hearing Pei Cuiyun's words, Cheng Chen was stunned. It was fine if the two princesses lived here, but why did they leave Li Zhenying here!
Mother, what are you trying to do?
"Mother, isn't it too crowded for three people to stay in the Cheng residence?”Cheng Chen asked softly.
"Little brother, do you not want me to live here?”Li Lizhi pouted and asked.
"No, I…"
"So you don't want me to live here?”Li Shu raised an eyebrow and reached out to pinch Cheng Chen's waist.
Hiss…It still hurt.
Cheng Chen hurriedly pressed down on Li Shu's hand." I'm not talking about you guys..."
" Oh..." Li Zhenying opened her mouth. She narrowed her beautiful eyes and said with a fake smile," You mean you want to chase me away?"”
What was going on? Cheng Chen's eyes widened as he looked at Lee Jeong-Ying. Didn't I explain everything to you? Why are you still so persistent?
Li Zhenying saw through Cheng Chen's thoughts." Do you think you can get rid of me with just a few words?”
"Let me tell you, there's no way. We have to fight.”
"I…"
"Cheng Chen!" Pei Cuiyun's face was stern as she glared at Cheng Chen," You have no right to speak. You just listen to whatever mother has arranged!”
Cheng Chen looked around and finally shrugged." Alright, I won't talk anymore. You guys can do whatever you want."”
"That's more like it." Pei Cuiyun nodded her head in satisfaction and looked at Zhangsun Wugou." Sister, don't worry. I will take good care of the two princesses."”
Zhangsun Wugou sighed." Sister Cheng, that's not what I meant. I mean…"
"By the way, sister, guess what I bought today?”
Without waiting for Zhangsun Wugou to finish, Pei Cuiyun interrupted her and took out a package. She placed it on the tea table and opened it. Instantly, a fragrance wafted out.
Zhangsun Wugou lowered his head and saw that the bag was filled with rouge and perfume, as well as sachets.
"Sister Cheng, this is?"
"These are all for you." Pei Cuiyun smiled," I know that you are in the palace and can't come into contact with fresh spices. These are all new today.”
"I originally wanted to send it to the palace for you, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself.”
"Take a look and smell it. Do you like it?”
Zhangsun Wugou looked at the pile of rouge, cosmetics, and spices and immediately smiled happily.
She picked up one and smelled it, then looked at the other. She liked every one of them.
Looking at Zhangsun Wugou's happy expression, Cheng Chen sighed. Indeed, no matter what era women were from, they all liked this kind of thing.
But that's good. If she likes it, my perfume will be more valuable.
"Sister, how is it? Are you satisfied?" Pei Cuiyun asked with a smile.
Zhangsun Wugou nodded repeatedly and sighed." Sister Cheng, it's rare for you to always think of me. Sigh, everyone thinks that I'm the Empress and that I don't lack anything.”
"But how would they know that my things are all outdated? Some of the spices even lost their fragrance when they were delivered to me.”
"If it weren't for Sister Cheng who has been thinking about me all these years, I'm afraid I would never have to use fresh rouge and perfume.”
Pei Cuiyun held Zhangsun Wugou's hand and smiled,""We're sisters. Why are we separated? I can use fresh ones, so I won't let you use old ones.”
"Besides, I remember how good my sister is to me!”
"When I gave birth to Chen, I couldn't handle it alone. It was you who helped me take care of Chen. Now, Chen is even closer to you than he is to me!”
"Little Chen, don't you think so?"
Cheng Chen hurriedly nodded." Yes, that's right."”
Now, Cheng Chen was really convinced by his mother. Good heavens, the emotional card was played loudly!
Zhangsun Wugou couldn't even say a word of rejection.
Just now, Zhangsun Wugou wanted to tell Pei Cuiyun that she only agreed to Cheng Chen marrying a princess, but now, he couldn't say it.
Zhangsun Wugou looked at Cheng Chen and shook his head helplessly." You brat, I don't expect you to treat me better than your mother. I just hope you don't give me a headache."”
"Hehe, how can I!"
Cheng Chen chuckled, knowing that it was time for him to make a move.
"I've always been thinking about the Empress.”
"I learned from my mother that the empress likes spices and specially developed a new kind of spice.”
"Look."
As he spoke, Cheng Chen took out the perfume from his pocket, jumped off the tea table, and came in front of Zhangsun Wugou.
"What is this?" Zhangsun Wugou looked at the small bottle in Cheng Chen's hand with a puzzled expression.
"You'll know soon enough." Cheng Chen took the perfume and sprayed it around Zhangsun Wugou.
Whoosh. Mist filled the air, and a thick fragrance instantly filled the entire room.
Moreover, it covered the smell of a bag of spices in an instant.
Zhangsun Wugou's face was filled with shock." It smells so good!”
