Chapter 2: Merlin's Story
The carriage that left the city walked ten miles east of the city and finally stopped in front of a plum forest.
The fragrance of flowers in the red plum forest scattered everywhere, and the snow from not long ago covered the blooming plum blossoms. The bright color contrast adds a bit of vitality to the first clear snow after the snow.
Jing Zhu walked in the plum forest, stepping on the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and noticed the traces of pedestrians ahead and was slightly stunned.
Hong Ni also saw the deep and shallow footprints on the snow, and smiled and said to Jingzhu: "Miss, it seems that someone has arrived first before us."
At that time, the cool breeze came, and the fragrance floated between the nose.
Since there is someone in the plum forest, it is natural that a woman in Jingzhu, a boudoir, can't go in directly, so she sent the green ants to explore the way first.
Soon, the green ant walked out of the depths of the plum forest, followed by a cold-looking sword guard.
"Miss Shen." The man stood a few steps away from Jingzhu and bowed to her, "Your Highness the Prince invites you to the Meiting Pavilion to talk."
Jingzhu didn't expect that the person inside was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. She pursed her lips and agreed, and walked slowly into the man.
The light blue bead curtain swayed in the wind, and the white snow was flying in the breeze. A man stood with his back to the mouth of the pavilion, thin and straight. When he looked up, Jing Zhu noticed some slight water stains on his face. She raised her hand and brushed it away, and stepped up the stone steps down the pavilion.
Perhaps the man turned around slowly when he heard the footsteps.
His appearance is extremely handsome and elegant, and his unparalleled demeanor is more conspicuous than his outstanding appearance. Even the plum blossoms in the garden are not as beautiful as him.
Jingzhu stepped forward and bowed to him, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"No need to be polite." Xie Changhua waved his hand at her, turned around and sat on the stone bench a few steps, and looked at her with a slight smile: "I heard that your mansion has been uneasy recently. If you are not at home, you are still happy to come here to enjoy the plum blossoms?"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince has great magical powers. There is nothing to hide from your affairs in my mansion." Jing Zhu stood there and smiled, not feeling embarrassed - the eldest daughter of Duke Shen's mansion was incompatible with the mistress of the mistress in Linzhou City. She has been used to it a lot of teasing and sarcasm in every day.
"Excessive award." Xie Changhua was not humble at all. "If I hadn't even had this ability, I should have changed my position as the prince."
After he finished speaking, he poured a cup of tea himself, and then pushed it in front of her, "Please."
"Thank you." Jing Zhu gently stroked the cup with his fingertips, and for a moment he continued the previous topic: "But His Highness the Crown Prince was wrong. My family is full of mentally retarded women, just women and children in the back house. They can't cause any storm, let alone tiger, leopard, jackal."
"When talking about this, I remembered my previous doubts. I wonder if Jingzhu can solve my doubts?"
Jingzhu nodded slightly, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, please say that Jingzhu will definitely speak out."
Xie Changhua frowned slightly, and his eyes showed a little confusion and rarely revealed. He looked at Jing Zhu and asked inexplicably: "Well, Chen is really your biological mother?"
Jingzhu is helpless.
I thought that the crown prince was extraordinary, but I didn't expect that he was also a curious person.
"… Chen's is indeed my biological mother."
Xie Changhua let out a "oh" and a cold sneer came from his nostrils.
There are many ludicrous things I have seen in the capital, and there are countless examples of legitimate mothers treating children from illegitimate children in high-ranking families. However, he has never heard of any mother who would treat her biological daughter born in ten months as an enemy.
It's really unheard of.
Jing Zhu looked at his side face and suddenly remembered the rumors in Beijing recently. After thinking about it, he said, "Two days ago, the daughter of Taifu Zhao's family came to the house to sit in the middle of the house. I heard her mention that the position of the general guarding the border in the northern border seems to be changing recently?"
Xie Changhua heard this and then held back his laughter and said, "Half a month ago, your grandfather, Duke Chen, reported to his father that his three sons had two died on the battlefield. Now, the old, young and young in the Duke's mansion, and a lot of prodigal sons who are unafraid of hope for the family to be covered by his family. When he is afraid no one can support this family in a hundred years, he asks his father to transfer General Chen back to the capital."
Jing Zhu coughed dryly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, intending to take the opportunity to cover the rising curve of the red lips.
"Grandfather... He is used to being naughty. I hope His Majesty and His Royal Highness will not be accustomed to him."
