Chapter 164: Women's Chu Li Meets Pei Ye
Chu Li smiled, "What I ask you to do is not difficult. I just need you to pretend to be me and I will pretend to be your pregnant wife."
A man and a woman with a maid went to give birth to a child, but there was no way to hide it from the villagers, so the only way to make it sound was that a young lady fell in love with a poor scholar, and they eloped and had a child together.
Huanyan smiled, "Okay, I'll do whatever the master tells me to do."
Chu Li stood up and Huanyan supported her.
Chu Li looked her in the eye. "You see, we are about the same height. You can just wear my old clothes. I can't hide my belly anymore. I will give birth soon. I will just wear women's clothes."
Huanyan nodded, "Then how should I call you from now on?"
"Just call me Li'er, it's easier to remember. I'll call you Master."
The next morning, Chu Li wore a veil, a loose white gauze skirt, put on light makeup, and went out with Huan Yan, who was dressed in men's clothes.
Sitting in the carriage, Bingxia looked at the two and said, "I didn't expect Sister Huanyan to look so beautiful in this outfit!"
Chu Li thought to himself: How could Zhong Wuyan not be beautiful!
Bingxia looked at Chu Li's beautiful face and women's clothing, and her eyes suddenly became red. Her princess should be so beautiful and free.
She should also live a carefree life like Princess Seven.
Chu Li looked out of the car window. The spring scenery in Luyu County was very beautiful. It was no exaggeration to say that there was a new scene at every step.
She was in a very good mood and saw a tailor shop, so she got off the carriage.
When the shopkeeper saw the stunningly beautiful couple coming in, he immediately went to greet them.
"Sir, do you want to buy clothes for your wife?"
Huanyan lowered her voice and said in a serious tone, "I'm buying clothes for the child."
"Oh, young master, you are so happy." The shopkeeper glanced at Chu Li's bulging belly. If the young master hadn't said it, he would not have noticed that the veiled beauty was pregnant.
"Are you starting preparations so early?" the shopkeeper asked with a smile.
Chu Li said, "Well, bring ten sets of clothes for girls and boys under six months old, and some brocade for making children's clothes."
When the shopkeeper heard that the man was a generous one, he immediately went to do it.
While Huanyan was choosing styles inside, Chu Li was attracted by a parrot in a birdcage in the inn next door.
"Beauty, beauty, little beauty!"
Chu Li glanced at it, and the green parrot suddenly became very excited, "I was kidding, I was kidding!"
Chu Li smiled, folded his arms and looked at it, "What else can you say?"
The green-feathered parrot with gray fur and a face that looked like it was dyed with two smudges of blush shook its head, its red beak opening and closing back and forth, and made a clear sound, "I won't say it, I won't say it!"
Chu Li stared at it intently, and the green parrot instantly became timid, "Congratulations on getting rich, congratulations on getting rich!"
Chu Li smiled proudly, boy, you are quite aware of the current situation.
"What's your name?" Chu Li continued to talk to it.
The green parrot scratched its feathers with its claws. "What did you say?"
Chu Li patiently talked to it, "I asked: What is your name?"
The green parrot tilted its head, pretending not to hear, "What did you say? Speak louder!"
"Your name wouldn't be Fugui, would it?" Chu Li smiled brightly.
The green parrot turned around clumsily in the cage twice. "I can't say it, I can't say it. Why doesn't ugly brother come downstairs? I'm so anxious, so anxious."
Ugly brother?
Chu Li suddenly felt that this parrot looked very familiar. Had she seen it somewhere?
She suddenly thought of her childhood. One year, a foreign country presented a parrot as a tribute, and her scumbag father gave it to her as a reward. The parrot also had two tufts of red fluff on its cheeks.
However, the parrot was not so venomous.
On the second floor, a man in black was watching his silly parrot talking to a young girl.
His brows were furrowed. When did this guy Erhan start to like talking to women?
Normally, when it sees a woman being so arrogant and cruel, it won't even look at her, let alone speak.
Another man in the teahouse was also surprised, "It's amazing, doesn't Erhan dislike women?"
"Commander Pei, is Erhan here to act as your matchmaker? Look at that woman standing there. Although she is wearing a veil, you can tell at a glance that she is a great beauty. Maybe she is really your destined match!"
Pei Ye glanced at him and asked, "Want to die?"
Li Chi, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, waved his hands hastily, "How dare I!"
He immediately raised his head and pretended to drink tea.
Li Chi put down his teacup and thought: He also couldn't understand why Commander Pei hadn't looked for a woman for all these years.
Even if a stunning beauty wanted to throw herself into his arms, he would not even look at her, as if he had no emotions.
He looked at the green parrot, and if his idea hadn't been so outrageous, he would have really thought that their commander liked a parrot.
Otherwise, why would Commander Pei bring the parrot with him every time he came to inspect the cavalry camp?
If Commander Pei had half the feelings for women that he has for that silly parrot, he wouldn't be single till now.
Could it be that there is some story behind that parrot?
Pei Ye picked up the teacup and drank the tea in it. After wiping the tea from the corner of his lips with his slender fingers, he spoke seriously.
"I'm going to patrol the cavalry camp today. You don't have to follow me. I'll sneak in quietly to see if these guys are slacking off."
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the inn and welcome you back in the evening."
Pei Ye had just walked downstairs when suddenly, a spring breeze blew.
The branches were dotted with apricot blossoms, and the petals danced in the wind. The woman who had just teased the parrot was standing there gracefully in a veil and a white dress.
Her black hair fell to her waist, and only her delicately drawn eyebrows and eyes could be seen.
Her beautiful eyes seemed like the soft red of thousands of miles in the sky and the sunset glow of dozens of miles pouring into the corners of her eyes, making people feel amazed at first sight.
Pei Ye stood there in a daze, and Chu Li raised his eyes and their gazes met Pei Ye's.
Chu Li's heart skipped a beat. Why was Pei Ye here?
Did he come here specifically to follow her?
Chu Li's breathing quickened, his palms clenched unconsciously, and he prayed silently in his heart that Huan Yan would not come out of the garment shop at this time.
Otherwise, her female identity would be exposed today!
