Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1613: Chapter 1610: Mission

“But we’ve also talked to quite a few wealthy ladies about parent-child outfits. How’s the business at the shop?”

“Not bad, it should sell out. Today it’s my treat, you’ve been a huge help to me.” Ye Muyu sat down, and Chun Xing quickly went over to carry Nuanbao away to play with some children nearby.

Zhong Yan: “Even without us, your clothes would sell like hotcakes. Not to mention the warmth, just the look itself is novel and eye-catching, plus the parent-child outfit gimmick.”

“Speaking of which, when we go out in these outfits, I’m not worried about my little rascal getting lost. I can spot him in the crowd at a glance.”

“By the way, Ah Yu, why didn’t Lord Chu come today?” Wang Yuanyuan asked curiously.

Her appetite had been good since she got pregnant, often needing to munch on something.

“Ah Heng has gone to the palace,” Ye Muyu replied, though she wasn’t sure when Chu Heng would be back.

“I see.”

As they chatted, Chu Ziluo also met with Huo Hongyan and other friends. The room was quite spacious, and the younger ones gathered together, not feeling bored. Even Ye Muyu played leaf cards with Wang Yuanyuan and the others for a while.

When the lively sounds from the street reached them, a servant nearby reminded, “Lady, the Beirong Envoys have arrived.”

“Really? Let me take a look.” Wang Yuanyuan quickly got up, curiously peeking out the window.

With just one glance, she exclaimed in surprise, “Ah Yu, come quick, isn’t that Lord Chu? So besides the officials from the Ministry of Rites, Lord Chu is also in charge of entertaining the Beirong Envoys.”

“When Ah Heng went for the peace talks, that’s why the Emperor assigned him for this matter,” Ye Muyu wasn’t surprised either. However, she was curious to see the Beirong Envoys, so she followed to the window.

Zhong Yan also came over. The street outside was bustling with people watching the excitement, stalls displaying top-quality goods, and sellers’ cries mingling with the lively atmosphere.

At this moment, a procession was slowly approaching.

Leading the way was the very conspicuous Chu Heng. His tall figure, compared to the elderly officials from the Ministry of Rites beside him, was too outstanding for people to ignore.

Besides, beside him rode a man with braided hair, a rugged appearance, fierce makeup painted with unknown pigments on his face, and holding a long knife in his hand.

The man looked intimidating, but in contrast to Chu Heng’s calm demeanor, he unexpectedly seemed a bit ‘adorable,’ hardly frightening. Instead, his unique attire drew a lot of fingers pointing and discussing from the onlookers.

On the other side of the Beirong Prince, there was a young man on horseback. Dressed in a dark robe, with no expression on his face, unlike Chu Heng who occasionally introduced something to the Beirong Prince, he remained silent throughout.

Due to his low profile, not many people noticed him at first, and those who did found themselves momentarily unsure of what to say due to his lack of reaction.

Ye Muyu immediately recognized Li Chongjin, though she chose not to speak up.

However, Zhong Yan, after watching for a while, asked somewhat uncertainly, “That should be Prince Rong, right? I didn’t expect so many heavyweight figures to greet the Beirong delegation this time.”

“I think it’s appropriate. It’s not particularly important; although Prince Rong is a prince, he’s not the most favored. It’s fitting to welcome the Beirong Prince.”
