Jiaojiao is getting married, and the male leads fall for her and fight over her.

Chapter 277 The Crown Prince's Scheme with a Handsome Man
Shen Shuyi had made up her mind to participate in the hunt, and the next step was to prepare for the hunt. Therefore, Pei Dongzhou gave Shen Shuyi a lot of instructions.

Shen Shuyi couldn't help but laugh as she watched Pei Dongzhou rambling on and on.

Prince Pei used to appear gentle and refined, but he always kept a certain distance from people. It was only later that she changed him into this way.

Pei Dongzhou was still rambling on when he saw Shen Shuyi looking at him with a half-smile. He said irritably, "I'm discussing serious matters with my wife..."

"Cousin, why do you keep calling me 'husband'? Aren't you tired?" Shen Shuyi stepped forward and pinched Pei Dongzhou's straight nose. "Your Highness's nose is so straight."

Pei Dongzhou: ...

After Shen Shuyi interrupted him, Pei Dongzhou finally stopped talking about it.

The day before the spring hunt, Pei Dongzhou took charge of all the preparations for the trip.

Shen Shuyi stayed by Pei Dongzhou's side, watching him busy himself. She was amazed to see that he had done everything meticulously, preparing their changes of clothes and even the first-aid kit.

She really married a wonderful man who is extremely devoted to his family; he doesn't subscribe to any traditional male chauvinism.

According to the customs of ancient times, the wife should be in charge of preparing for a trip, but in their family, Pei Dongzhou did all the preparations.

She just had to sit and watch him tidy up.

Pei Dongzhou would even pre-order the jewelry she needed to wear with each outfit, making her feel that marrying Pei Dongzhou was truly a stroke of luck.

She actually tried to elope back then. If she had succeeded, she wouldn't have been able to marry such a good husband.

A-Jian, who was watching from the side, kept winking at Shen Shuyi and whispered, "The son-in-law is so virtuous."

"Of course!!" Shen Shuyi felt it was necessary to thank the system for allowing her to get close to Prince Pei.

Aside from being overly lustful in bed, Prince Pei is impeccable in every other aspect.

I wonder if Prince Pei has any chance to improve in this regard.

After Pei Dongzhou finished arranging all the travel arrangements, he turned to look at Shen Shuyi, only to meet her bright, fiery eyes.

"Why are you looking at your husband like that?" Pei Dongzhou said, turning to A-Jian who was standing to the side, "You step back."

Didn't you see him and his cousin trying to develop a relationship?
A-Jian, the maid, is usually well-behaved, but sometimes she's a bit inconsiderate and insists on standing between the couple as a lookout.

A-Jian withdrew as instructed.

With the annoying third party gone, Pei Dongzhou shed his previous aloofness and immediately lifted Shen Shuyi onto the bed: "Does my wife want me to be her husband, hmm?"

The male lead's voice was so sweet; Shen Shuyi felt like her ears were about to get pregnant.

Wait, what did he just say?

"Pei Dongzhou, can you please stop thinking about that kind of thing all day long?!"

Why would she want him?
She clearly thought he was good at everything and that marrying him would make her very happy, but he was just full of lewd nonsense.

"Isn't it normal for a husband to want his wife? Does the wife want her husband?" Pei Dongzhou said, and began to slowly take off his clothes.

Shen Shuyi was stunned. She swallowed hard and suddenly realized that Prince Pei's charm was quite effective on her.

Is this what they call "beauty doesn't bewitch people, people bewitch themselves"?

Seeing that his wife couldn't resist his charm, Pei Dongzhou secretly thought that this was the trick he was going to use to deal with her. Shen Shuyi couldn't help but touch Pei Shizi's eight-pack abs, and couldn't help but admire how beautiful her man's body was.

She felt quite lucky to have snagged such a handsome man as Prince Pei.

When Pei Shizi pushed her onto the bed, she lamented that she would one day die from excessive indulgence.
The result of her one night of passion was that she couldn't even get up the next morning, so much so that Pei Dongzhou had to help her wash up.

When she got into the carriage, she was surprised and delighted to find that it was new and had a very comfortable bed inside.

Seeing her making a fuss, Pei Dongzhou chuckled and said, "This is a carriage that I asked Sun Wang to make temporarily. He's very skillful. I told him what I needed, and he made this carriage in just half a month."

"So it was Sun Wang who did it, no wonder."

Shen Shuyi calculated the time; he said he would finish the carriage within half a month, which meant he had decided to take her to the Spring Hunt a long time ago.

That is to say, when did he become so familiar with Sun Wang?

When the carriage started moving, she found it very comfortable, unlike other carriages that vibrated a lot, which she guessed was due to shock absorption.

As if knowing her thoughts, Pei Dongzhou added, "I told Sun Wang that you are a bit delicate and have said more than once that the carriage ride is uncomfortable and that it would be best to have a shock-absorbing function. I didn't expect Sun Wang to actually do it."

Shen Shuyi lay comfortably on the couch, feeling that her life was complete.

Before long she fell into a deep sleep, completely unaware that the carriage had soon arrived at the palace gate.

Xia Nianchu, as the most favored concubine, was the most glamorous person besides the Empress, simply because she rode in the same carriage as Emperor Jinglong.

However, many of the high-ranking concubines had long passed the age of vying for favor. Although they were somewhat envious of Xia Nianchu, Emperor Jinglong was currently infatuated with Consort Li, and these older women naturally could not compare to Consort Li.

However, some concubines who had not been in the palace for very long still went to complain to Empress Dong. Empress Dong simply comforted them with a few soft words and that was it.

Xia Nianchu was enjoying the limelight as she accompanied the emperor, and just then, she saw the Pei family's procession.

She immediately spotted the spacious carriage, which looked rather shabby on the outside, but with such spaciousness, did it have a bed inside?

Her intuition told her that this was the carriage Shen Shuyi was riding in.

Suddenly, her mind started racing.

In the past, she couldn't compete with Shuyi for men, and she could only watch helplessly as Shen Shuyi seduced one good young man after another from the Pei family. In the end, even a man like the Prince of Pei fell for Shen Shuyi and eventually married her.

This has always been a knot in her heart.

Now that she is a favored concubine, getting what she wants is just a matter of a word.

"What is my beloved concubine looking at?" Emperor Jinglong noticed Xia Nianchu staring intently ahead. Following her gaze, he saw that it was the Pingyang Marquis's family who had been waiting.

"Your Majesty, I haven't seen my aunt for quite some time. May I catch up with the people from the Marquis of Pingyang's residence?" Xia Nianchu looked at Emperor Jinglong expectantly with her beautiful eyes.

Although Xia Nianchu was a favored concubine, she was usually unassuming, especially obedient in front of Emperor Jinglong. Her request this time was reasonable, and Emperor Jinglong had no reason to refuse.

And so, Xia Nianchu went to the people of the Pingyang Marquis's residence.

When everyone saw her coming, they all bowed to her.

Xia Nianchu dismissed the formalities and asked, feigning curiosity, "Where is Cousin Shen?"
