Chapter 224: Du Chuke, the general of the left guard,
Fang Yuan walked in front.
Princess Changle asked from behind.
She gave up after seeing Fang Yuan ignore her several times.
The palace is very large, and the martial arts training ground is in a relatively remote place.
The three of them passed through many places before finally returning to her Changle Palace.
"Uncle Fang Yuan, sister Du Miaoyan, do you want to come to my palace and sit down?"
Princess Changle invited.
As she returned, a large number of palace ladies and eunuchs came out to greet her.
Du Miaoyan said nothing and looked at Fang Yuan aside to see what Fang Yuan's opinion was.
"Princess Changle, can you please stop calling me Uncle Fang Yuan?"
"Miaoyan and I are husband and wife. You call me uncle and you call her sister. We are all confused. Does Brother Fang Yuan know?"
Fang Yuan rolled his eyes and said speechlessly.
This girl can't be corrected no matter how hard she tries.
Calling yourself uncle makes you think you are old, but it sounds ugly.
"Well... okay, let's call you brother Fang Yuan."
Princess Changle looked at Fang Yuan, then at Du Miaoyan, and finally nodded.
It was Li Shimin who called him uncle Fang Yuan. Although she felt it was inappropriate, she never thought about changing it.
Now Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan are standing together, and they are already married. After thinking about it, it would be better to change.
"Wisdom!"
Fang Yuan gave Princess Changle a thumbs up with satisfaction.
Finally, this girl stopped calling her uncle.
"Then come inside and sit down, brother Fang Yuan."
Princess Changle stuck out her tongue and invited Fang Yuan and the others again.
Fang Yuan saw that this was her second invitation and that she had satisfied his request just now, so he went in to sit.
Changle Palace is very luxurious and resplendent, with crowds of palace maids and eunuchs. The ornaments in the palace are either rich or expensive, which shows the emperor's love for Princess Changle.
"Princess, Canary misses you."
At this time, a palace maid came over carrying a birdcage.
In the birdcage is a beautiful canary, jumping and chirping.
"Xiao Jin, do you miss me?"
Princess Changle immediately took the cage with a smile and placed it on the table.
A palace maid brought a small insect that had been caught long ago and presented it in front of Princess Changle.
Princess Changle grabbed the bug with her little hand, stretched it towards the canary, and reached inside through the cage.
The canary was jumping in the cage, and when Princess Changle stretched out the insect, she skillfully jumped over to peck at it.
"Changle, why haven't I seen you raising canaries before?"
Du Miaoyan asked curiously.
Watching the canary fly around in the cage feels very cute.
She also wanted to catch worms and feed them to the canary, but when she reached for the worms, she felt a little nauseous and finally gave up the idea.
"Chang Sun Chong sent it here."
"How's it going? Does it look good?"
Princess Changle chuckled.
Looking at the canary makes me very happy.
"Good-looking."
"Husband, please give me one."
Du Miaoyan nodded, her eyes bright.
She looked at Fang Yuan with eyes she had never used before.
The pleading look on his face made Fang Yuan unable to bear to refuse.
But,
"Forget the canary, I'll give you the others."
Fang Yuan shook his head and said.
"Why?"
Du Miaoyan said helplessly in confusion.
Princess Changle looked at Fang Yuan in confusion.
"What's so cool about a canary trapped in a cage?"
"Doesn't it look like a pet in captivity?"
Fang Yuan said calmly.
A canary in captivity feels like a woman in captivity.
Although there was no such intention in giving it to Du Miaoyan, Fang Yuan thought of this aspect, so he didn't want to give it away.
"This...okay."
Du Miaoyan thought about it and finally didn't force it.
"Brother Fang Yuan, do you think I am a canary in captivity?"
Princess Changle said suddenly.
After saying this, the expressions of the palace maids and eunuchs on the scene changed drastically.
"Stop it, Princess Changle, I have never said this."
Fang Yuan was also shocked and said quickly.
If this word gets out, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as being targeted by Zongzhengji.
"Chang Le, Fang Yuan never said this."
Du Miaoyan also spoke for Fang Yuan.
Because Fang Yuan really never said such a thing.
And it will definitely be bad for Fang Yuan if these words get out.
"I know, Fang Yuan didn't say it."
"But, I am also like a canary."
"His cage is so small, and my cage is so big."
Princess Changle sighed.
The mood is completely different from before.
She looked at the canary in the cage that was constantly beating for food, and suddenly threw it away with one hand.
With a bang, the cage fell to the ground, and the canary also fell to the ground, screaming in pain, and the door of the cage opened.
The next moment, the canary jumped out of the door, flew out of the palace, and quickly flew towards the gate outside the palace, seemingly looking for its freedom.
"Quick, grab it."
The palace maid exclaimed.
He quickly called the eunuchs to go to work.
"No, let it fly away."
"Heaven and earth are its home, not this cage."
Princess Changle stopped the actions of the palace maids and eunuchs.
She stood up and looked at the canary flying in the air. She didn't look back until the canary escaped from Changle Palace.
Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan looked at each other, both of them were surprised that Princess Changle could actually say such words.
"Fang Yuan, thank you."
"I seem to understand that I want something."
Princess Changle turned back and smiled.
"Princess Changle, I really didn't say anything."
Fang Yuan smiled bitterly and felt helpless.
He didn't say anything just now, how could Princess Changle know what she wanted?
"Chang Le, you must not accuse Fang Yuan unjustly."
Du Miaoyan is also serious.
This matter is related to the royal family, and may also be related to Princess Changle's marriage, so we really can't joke about it.
With the relationship between the Changsun family, if Fang Yuan thought that he wanted to destroy the relationship between Changsun Chong and Princess Changle, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"I know."
"Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense."
Princess Changle stuck out her tongue and said with a smile.
"Let's go back, we can't stay here."
Fang Yuan took Du Miaoyan's hand and left.
Although Princess Changle said she understood, she still felt something was wrong.
It's better to leave Changle Palace as soon as possible, and I don't want to have too much to do with Princess Changle.
"Changle, I'm going back first."
"Remember, don't talk nonsense, and also warn them not to talk nonsense."
Du Miaoyan followed Fang Yuan's footsteps and turned back to warn Princess Changle.
He also looked at the palace maids and eunuchs present, and told Princess Changle to warn them.
Some things should not be joked about. Du Miaoyan did not want Fang Yuan's official career to be affected.
"I know, I know, don't worry."
Princess Changle followed and escorted Fang Yuan and the two out of Changle Palace.
After leaving Changle Palace, Fang Yuan and the two walked back towards the Chengtian Gate.
On the way, Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan were chatting, and after a while they walked to Chengtian Gate and prepared to leave.
Just as I was about to go out, I saw a middle-aged general patrolling with guards from the side.
The two of them took a closer look and saw that it was Du Chuke who had just been promoted to the rank of Zhonglang General of the Left Guard.
"I've met my uncle!"
Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan saluted.
"Miaoyan, Fang Yuan, it's you."
"Why didn't you tell your uncle when you entered the palace?"
Du Chuke quickened his pace and smiled excitedly.
"Uncle is joking, what's the use of telling you?"
Du Miaoyan couldn't help but laugh and cry.
If you enter the palace, you enter the palace. What does entering the palace have to do with the general?
Could it be that just entering the palace and telling him would pave the way for the two of them or something?
"Why didn't it work?"
"Uncle, you can ask someone to guide you so that you don't get lost in the palace."
Du Chuke said with a naive smile.
"Uncle, if you abuse your private power like this, you will be impeached by the villain."
Du Miaoyan shook her head and sighed in her heart.
No wonder my father never supported my uncle very much.
My uncle's condition is really not suitable for walking to high places.
Fortunately, I don't have to work in a place like the palace for a long time, otherwise something might really happen.
"What can be impeached over such a trivial matter? I'm so worried."
"Come on, come on, I just happened to meet you. Uncle will go back with you."
Du Chuke said disapprovingly.
He took off his helmet and took off the outer armor.
After handing them over to the soldiers behind you, you and Du Miaoyan will leave.
"Uncle, you don't want to leave early, do you?"
Du Miaoyan was even more speechless.
I want to criticize him, but I’m too embarrassed to say it.
After all, you are an elder, so you still have to give some face.
"Yeah, there's nothing to do."
Du Chuke nodded and said.
"Uncle, the prince just fell off his horse and injured his leg."
"If you leave at this time, you may be blamed by the emperor."
Fang Yuan said politely.
"There's still this matter... But it's almost time to get off work now, so you don't need to stay anymore, right?"
Du Chuke was startled and took back his steps to leave.
But looking at the Chengtianmen gate opened, I still want to leave.
"Uncle, I suggest you leave later if there is nothing urgent."
Fang Yuan said with a smile.
"Yes, uncle, are you okay?"
Du Miaoyan nodded repeatedly, not wanting Du Chuke to be late and leave early.
This is the palace, and the rules of the palace are very strict. If you are not careful, you may be spotted.
When doing errands in the palace, you should be careful if you can, and don't express your thoughts easily.
My father asked his uncle to enter the palace because he wanted to exercise his uncle's mentality, but he didn't seem to realize it.
"Okay, then I'll get off work later."
"Miaoyan, tell your father that I will go see him tonight."
Du Chuke sighed, took the armor and helmet from the soldier and put them on.
"Okay uncle, let's go back first."
Du Miaoyan nodded and said goodbye to Du Chuke.
I originally had some objections to Du Chuke, but when I heard that he was looking at his father, my opinions faded away a lot.
"Well, okay, let's go back."
Du Chuke waved his hand and left with the soldiers.
"Alas..."
"My uncle..."
Du Miaoyan looked at Du Chuke's retreating back and sighed.
"Let's go, it's getting late, let's go back, a spring night is worth a thousand dollars."
Fang Yuan withdrew his gaze without comment, but his understanding of Du Chuke became deeper.
Du Ruhui also said that he consulted Du Chuke if he had any problems. Now it seems that it was out of brotherly affection.
"You, shameless!"
Du Miaoyan suddenly blushed.
She glared at Fang Yuan and walked out of Chengtian Gate quickly.
Fang Yuan looked at Du Miaoyan's appearance, laughed loudly, and quickly followed.
In the evening, people from Princess Xiangcheng's house came over to invite her.
