Chapter 038: Meeting Fengju Again
As soon as Du Fengju stepped onto the second floor of Baiyunman, he immediately saw the man sitting by the window.
In fact, every person who steps onto the second floor will have their eyes involuntarily attracted to that person.
She was wearing a luxurious phoenix robe, with a gorgeous face, her head slightly raised, and her eyes closed as she fell asleep.
There was an empty circle around her, and the guests on the second floor would rather sit in the corner than sit at the empty tables around her.
Such a person is the absolute center and focus, and most people dare not approach him.
Princess Changding, is she also here in Baiyunman?
Jingzhao is such a big city, so it was a coincidence that they met again after such a short period of time.
At this time, Zheng Ji seemed to notice that someone was looking at her, so she slowly opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the sensing.
This time, he met Du Fengju's gaze.
Seeing those familiar and unusually dark eyes, her heart trembled.
Before she could figure out what kind of gesture to make, her phoenix eyes were already filled with a smile.
Du Fengju might as well have seen her smile, paused briefly, and nodded in response.
He could distinguish between good and evil. Princess Changding had just opened her eyes and was not very conscious yet. She smiled when she saw him.
Moreover, his smile was so pure that you could tell he was happy inside.
It's really strange. How could Princess Changding feel happy when she saw him?
The last time he met her was really impressive to him, and the contrast with now was so stark.
He was still thinking about whether to go downstairs when he saw the chamberlain standing next to Princess Changding walking over.
This chamberlain already had a lot of wrinkles on his face. He had been closely accompanying Princess Changding both times.
Come to think of it, this chamberlain is the general manager of Mingguang Palace, oh, now he should be Li Xingen, the general manager of Princess Changding Palace.
As the youngest son of the Grand Tutor, he certainly knows the important people in each palace, whether openly or secretly.
I saw Li Xing'en walking up to Du Fengju, smiling and saying: "Master Du, our Highness has invited you."
Li Xing'en smiled so sincerely at this moment that flowers almost bloomed on his face.
Not only His Highness, but also he was sincerely happy to see Taifu Du's youngest son!
Otherwise, they have been waiting here for several days!
I get up early every day and wait here all day long in Baiyunman. I only leave when it gets dark.
Fortunately, the one hundred Chang Dingsui did not follow, otherwise, Bai Yunman's shopkeeper would have been frightened half to death.
Others didn't know why His Highness was waiting here. Only he knew from the beginning that His Highness was waiting for Taifu Du's youngest son.
Thank God, Mr. Du finally showed up!
Du Fengju was confused. Princess Changding invited her? The chambermaid next to her smiled as if she had seen a savior.
He felt something was wrong, but he was embarrassed to say it.
The last time he met Princess Changding left a deep impression on him. She teased him in public last time, but now she invited him to sit at the same table. This was really strange.
Pei Yanshan took a step closer to leaving Du Fengju. He would not stop the young master's decision, but thinking of Princess Changding's action of holding flowers, he became alert.
Why didn't Henglou mention that Princess Changding was in Baiyunman? That way he could have taken precautions in advance.
Du Fengju looked at Zheng Ji sitting by the window, then nodded and said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
He was really curious, why did Princess Changding call him there?
He had just returned to Jingzhao, and given the discord between his father and Concubine Jiang, it seemed that he and Princess Changding were not suitable for tea at the same table.
Du Fengju was not a curious person, but for some reason, he accepted the invitation and approached Zheng Ji.
As soon as he sat down, he smelled a very light fragrance, which was like pine but not pine, similar to bamboo but not bamboo. When he smelled it carefully, he could feel a bit of freshness.
This is not the incense commonly used in girls' homes, but he likes the smell very much, as if it has the feeling of being in the mountains and forests, with white clouds covering the clothes.
Unknowingly, he felt a lot more relaxed.
When he saw the plate of tea-flavored smoked bamboo shoots on the table, his eyes turned brighter.
Tea-smoked bamboo shoots were the main reason why he came to Baiyunman. Baiyunman was much inferior to Ganlou, but this dish of tea-smoked bamboo shoots was particularly good.
Could it be that Princess Changding also likes this tea-scented bamboo shoot?
What a coincidence again?
Du Fengju didn't believe it and looked at Zheng Ji with his bright black eyes, confused and curious.
Zheng Ji glanced at him and quickly turned away, his expression indifferent, as if... he didn't take Du Fengju seriously.
In fact, she had to use all her strength to control herself and prevent her full love from leaking out.
Finally, I saw Fengju again.
She waited here for a few days, and it was great to finally see him again.
This time, she came well prepared, unlike the last time when they met suddenly, she was so full of excitement and joy that she even missed a trace in her actions.
After returning home, she recalled every detail of that time and realized that she had picked up the flower too quickly.
Before she had time to think, she had already picked up the red plum from Fengju's shoulder.
With Pei Yanshan's ability, he would definitely be alert afterwards - and it didn't matter, what she wanted in the first place was that Feng Ju could remember her.
When she saw Pei Yanshan closely following him, she confirmed her guess.
Yes, Fengju doesn't know martial arts, and he is delicate and frail...well, he's not very weak either.
At this time, she suddenly remembered the scene she saw outside the window of Taifu's Mansion, with her fair back, thin waist, and that drop of slippery water...
She suddenly felt that her mouth was dry and she immediately took a big sip of tea to extinguish the fire that was raging in her heart and she felt a little better.
In Du Fengju's eyes, this was very unexpected.
When he saw the gorgeous Princess Changding, she was like a traveler who had been thirsty for several days, drinking like an ox.
He couldn't help but look out the window. The weather in February was cold and rainy, but it wasn't the scorching sun of summer. Are you that thirsty?
However, he really couldn't guess Princess Changding's actions.
Since the other party didn't speak, he asked directly: "Your Highness, what do you want to do for me?"
Zheng Ji looked at him but didn't answer.
While waiting here at Bai Yunman, she thought a lot. The words she wanted to say and the actions she wanted to make had been considered over and over again in her mind and rehearsed countless times.
But no matter how much she thought about it, when she faced Feng Ju, her mind still went blank for a moment.
She and Feng Ju sat opposite each other, so close that she could hold Feng Ju if she stretched out her hand.
It was as if she could hold him in her arms at any time.
It seemed that there was no two lifetimes between her and him.
What Feng Ju thought was a coincidence was the result of her waiting here every day.
Fortunately, she finally waited.
After waiting, what should she say? She still couldn't say anything.
She could only lower her eyes to hide all the deep meaning in her eyes, but this time, she saw his hands on the tea table.
The knuckles are clear, the skin is very white, and the touch...except for the calluses on the fingers holding the pen, they are much smoother than hers.
Unlike her, her hands were covered with thick calluses due to practicing martial arts and holding swords. He had spent a lot of time asking someone to find plaster and applied a thick layer on her before going to bed, but it still didn't work.
This pair of white and silky hands was much larger than hers and could wrap around her calloused hands.
He once held her hand and said to her with a smile, wishing her a thousand years of worry-free life.
