Chapter 269: Only one copy in the entire nine states of China
After seeing the princess off, Pei Changqing turned around, greeted Fang Xiaoxiao and the other person, and then hurriedly left.
Looking at the Second Prince who came and went like the wind, Fang Xiaoxiao was speechless.
What is all this nonsense? It's a complete mess.
Therefore, she blamed all the problems on Li Renyi.
She strode towards Li Renyi, reached out and pinched his ear, questioning him sternly.
"Tell me, what exactly happened? Did you... you know... that princess, and then just walk away?"
Li Renyi, who was being pulled by the ear by his wife and screaming in pain, hurriedly waved his hands and cried out in agony.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, my wife, be gentle! My ear is about to fall off!"
"I'm not that kind of person. How could I possibly do something so despicable?"
Fang Xiaoxiao didn't care and continued to question him.
"Then why does she keep chasing after you? Do you think you're as handsome as Pan An that a princess would disregard her dignity and chase after you all over the streets?"
Upon hearing this, Li Renyi felt like he wanted to die.
Who knows what happened? He had only met the princess once or twice.
"I really don't know what's wrong with her, why she's arresting me."
Well, seeing that Li Renyi had already said so, Fang Xiaoxiao had no choice.
She had no choice but to let go and exhale.
"Alright, since that's the case, I'm too lazy to ask any more questions. What are you planning to do next? Are you going to hide here forever and never come out?"
"I've made up my mind. I don't like that princess anyway. When my father comes back, I'll have him call off the engagement!"
"Casual!"
Fang Xiaoxiao ignored him and continued working on her calculations.
The shop closed after it got dark.
She was finally able to rest.
In the hall.
Li Renyi looked at everyone timidly, like a child who had done something wrong.
Long Jinyan, who had just finished working outside, burst into laughter upon learning of his ordeal.
"I say, Renyi, you really don't know what's good for you. She's a princess. You're lucky to be able to marry a princess. You've earned this blessing eight lifetimes ago."
"Others want it but don't have it, and you not only don't appreciate it, but you also come here to hide. You're really shameful!"
Murong Changqing added from the side.
"You bet, I feel ashamed for you."
Faced with everyone's teasing and accusations, Li Renyi wanted to refute several times, but in the end he chose to remain hidden.
After all, all he wanted now was freedom, not to be trapped in that palace.
Just then, He Jinnian, who had been silent all along, spoke up.
"Don't just blame Renyi. Marriage can't be forced. If he has no feelings for the princess, forcing them together won't bring them happiness."
Everyone fell into a brief moment of contemplation after hearing this.
Li Renyi glanced gratefully at He Jinnian and said.
"Brother Jin Nian understands me best. I really don't want to marry someone I don't like just because of my status or position."
Zhou Wenjian shook his head and said.
"That's true, but she is a princess after all. You can't just run away like this. You have to come up with a proper solution."
Li Renyi sighed.
"What can I do? I can only take it one step at a time. I hope my father can understand me and help me break off this marriage."
Fang Xiaoxiao put down her abacus and said.
"Alright, everyone, let's stop talking about him and think about how to deal with the princess's possible actions."
The group looked at each other, all agreeing that this was a thorny issue.
Long Jinyan frowned and said, "Why don't we send someone to find out what the princess is thinking?"
Murong Changqing retorted, "That's not advisable. It would easily alert the enemy. If the princess finds out, she might be even more furious."
After much discussion, no good idea could be come up.
As night deepened, everyone dispersed to rest, but Li Renyi lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, his heart filled with worry and confusion about the future.
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window and fell on Li Renyi's face, but he still looked worried.
He got up early and paced back and forth in the courtyard, pondering how to deal with the princess's matter.
Seeing his expression, Fang Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly.
"Li Renyi, stop loitering around here, you're making me dizzy. If you don't want to marry the princess, then you should find a way to resolve this yourself. What's the use of just worrying?"
Li Renyi stopped and said with a bitter face.
"What can I do? I don't know why the princess insists on having me. I've barely even spoken a few words to her."
At this moment, He Jinnian walked over and said.
“Renyi, why don’t you find an opportunity to talk to the princess face to face? Maybe she will understand your thoughts.”
Li Renyi shook his head.
"How could I dare? She's so fierce. What if she suddenly loses her temper? Would I even survive?"
Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out outside. Everyone was startled and went out to see what was happening. It turned out that the princess had come to their door again with her entourage.
The princess stood at the door and shouted loudly, "Li Renyi, come out here!"
Li Renyi was so frightened that he hid behind the crowd, not daring to show his face.
Helpless, Fang Xiaoxiao stepped forward and said, "Princess, why are you doing this?"
The princess glared at her and said, "Enough nonsense, let Li Renyi come out to see me!"
The situation reached a stalemate as everyone remained deadlocked.
Seeing this, Fang Xiaoxiao quickly stepped forward to persuade her.
"Oh dear, Princess, why are you here so early? But your arrival is quite a coincidence. I just developed a new product a few days ago and wanted to find someone to test it. Could you do me this favor, Princess?"
As she spoke, she pulled out a bottle of peach-scented perfume that she had prepared beforehand from her bosom.
She put a lot of effort into creating this perfume.
Because the Dayu Dynasty did not have a rich supply of fruits, it had to ask people to find connections to purchase them from neighboring countries.
Fortunately, neighboring countries are rich in natural resources, especially fruits, which come in a wide variety.
When she presented a bottle of perfume in a glass jar to the princess.
The princess, who had never seen such a beautiful glass bottle before, was instantly captivated by it.
She even forgot about her plan to find Li Renyi and instead snatched the perfume.
As soon as she held it in her hand, the sweet fragrance emanating from the glass bottle captivated her.
She had eaten peaches before, but this was the first time she had ever smelled a peach.
Seeing this, Fang Xiaoxiao quickly explained.
"Princess, this is our shop's newly developed peach-scented perfume. This perfume is unique in the entire Da Yu region, and even in the entire China!"
