Because of Zhou Xuan's sudden appearance, the originally depressed ladies became energetic. Even if they couldn't play with the princess, the banquet became more fun, so they all went to swim in the lake.
Some took big boats and some took small boats. For a while, the clothes and dresses were fluttering in the lake, and there was laughter and laughter.
But Chen Danzhu's side was much deserted. They walked and looked around, and when they reached a slope, they could not see the lake, but there were patches of fertile fields in the distance.
"Did the cantaloupe I just ate grow there?" Chen Dan and Zhu Yao asked.
Liu Wei nodded: "Some are planted here, and more are in the fields of the tenant farmers." She pointed to the other side, "That's the tea mountain over there. I even went to pick tea."
Liu Wei smiled shyly: "It's not fun, it's too hot. I'd rather sit in the pavilion and eat melon."
Princess Jin Yao laughed, and Chen Danzhu also laughed.
Liu Wei then pointed to another place: "So let's go over and sit and eat melon."
Flowers, plants and trees were planted there, paved with gravel, bamboo curtains were hung in the pavilion, and fresh fruits, tea and snacks were placed in the hall.
Princess Jin Yao smiled and said hello, and the three of them came to the pavilion together. The maid Chun Miao and the servants brought clear water and a handkerchief. Before Princess Jin Yao put down the handkerchief, Chen Danzhu had already picked up the melon and started eating it.
"Be careful, your stomach hurts if you eat too much." Princess Jin Yao was angry and funny.
Chen Danzhu said with a smile: "Princess, I'm afraid she doesn't know that I am a doctor, right? I can treat stomachaches."
Liu Wei whispered softly: "It will still hurt."
It seems that this is the truth. Chen Danzhu thought for a while and put down the melon.
Princess Jin Yao laughed at the side, looked at Liu Wei and asked her: "Danzhu said your family runs a medicine hall?"
Liu Wei then told her family’s origins.
Chun Miao, who was standing outside the pavilion, looked at Liu Wei, who didn't say much in front of Princess Jin Yao, but had a certain amount of progress and retreat. Her eyes could not hide her admiration and surprise. Mrs. Chang loved and doted on this young lady, but the people around her actually didn't.
I didn't pay much attention to it, and I always felt that it was nothing compared to the young ladies from the Chang family.
Now it seems that the only difference is her surname and background, but this background has not hindered her good luck. Look, not only has she made friends with the notorious Chen Danzhu, but she can also sit with the princesses of the imperial court and chat about daily life.
Princess Jin Yao was already asking about her parentage. If she didn't take this person seriously, no one with her status would bother to ask.
Now it seems that everyone's worries were overthinking? Princess Jin Yao did not want to embarrass Chen Danzhu, and Chen Danzhu did not come to trouble because of A Yun's contempt. Maybe she was a little arrogant, and the queen did want to
The gentry in Xijing made friends with Wu Di——Chun Miao looked much more relaxed.
Chang's lake was very big, and a few large boats quickly became a decoration. The ladies wandered around on the boat for a moment, urging the boat girl to chase Zhou Xuan's boat, but found that Zhou Xuan was no longer on the boat.
mysterious.
A young lady saw her brother and couldn't help asking: "Where is Mr. Zhou?"
The young man had a regretful expression on his face: "Master Zhou got off the boat and said he was looking for Princess Jin Yao."
What a pity. It's a pity that I couldn't spend more time with Mr. Zhou, and it's also a pity that Mr. Zhou didn't invite them to meet the princess together.
The ladies heard the news. Although they regretted not seeing Zhou Xuan at this time, they immediately became happy. Zhou Xuan went to see Princess Jin Yao. The male guests had to avoid going, but of course they could go as female guests, so they
Everyone happily urged the boat girl back to the shore.
Chun Miao on the other side of the pavilion had already seen a male guest approaching, followed by a maidservant. This was a young man who was giving alms and looking at the surrounding scenery as he walked.
Chun Miao cheered up. There were always bold young people at the banquet who got lost while admiring the scenery and strayed into where the ladies were.
But before she asked the servants to come forward to ask, Princess Jin Yao, who was sitting in the pavilion, made a sound, lifted the curtain and called happily to the visitor: "Axuan."
Upon hearing this call, the young man looked this way and raised his voice: "I'm looking for you."
Princess Jin Yao waved: "Come quickly."
It turned out to be Zhou Xuan, Chun Miao and the maids saluting, watching the young man walk to the pavilion and stand outside the curtain on Princess Jin Yao's side.
Liu Wei stood up reservedly and lowered her eyes. Chen Danzhu also stood up, but glanced at Zhou Xuan——
The young man outside the curtain is wearing a wide robe and long sleeves, and his face is like a crown jewel. He is full of energy.
It was completely different from the down-and-out beggar-like drunkard Zhou Xuan she had seen in her previous life.
Also, the Zhou Xuan she saw in that life lost his wife Princess Jin Yao and lost his military power. Naturally, he could not compare with the young and proud young man at this time.
Princess Jin Yao smiled at him, leaned on the railing and asked him what he had eaten.
Zhou Xuan answered with a smile.
Did the two start talking about marriage at this time? Chen Danzhu thought curiously, and what was even more curious was whether Zhou Xuan knew that the emperor had killed his father at this time?
Is the smile on Zhou Xuan’s face real or fake?
Chen Danzhu was thinking wildly, and Zhou Xuan suddenly looked at her, his eyes sharp and cold, as if he could tell what she was thinking——
Chen Danzhu was startled and quickly lowered his eyes.
Princess Jin Yao noticed his gaze and hurriedly introduced: "This is Miss Chen Danzhu, and this is Miss Liu Wei. Miss Liu Wei is from Mrs. Chang's natal family."
Liu Wei was busy saluting, and Chen Danzhu also followed suit. She lowered her head and did not look at Zhou Xuan again, but she could feel that Zhou Xuan's eyes were always on her.
Princess Jin Yao seemed to notice the unkind look in his eyes. Thinking of her father's eunuch's warning, she hurriedly whispered: "Miss Danzhu, I have carefully investigated her. I will go back and talk to you carefully."
Zhou Xuan smiled: "Is it about Miss Danzhu? You don't need to ask the princess, I have seen it with my own eyes."
Princess Jin Yao was stunned for a moment, while Chen Danzhu raised his head in surprise and made a sound. This voice——
Seeing her raise her head, Zhou Xuan looked at her and smiled slightly: "Miss, you are very skilled."
It turned out to be him. Chen Danzhu looked at him in surprise, that young man with good eyesight?!
Princess Jin Yao looked at Zhou Xuan and Chen Danzhu curiously: "Do you know each other?"
That's not acquaintance, Chen Danzhu thought, but before he could think of what to say, Zhou Xuan had already spoken: "I passed by Peach Blossom Mountain on my way back to Beijing, and I was lucky enough to see Miss Danzhu beating someone with my own eyes."
Princess Jin Yao also heard about that matter from the eunuch. Although she thought Chen Danzhu was too rude and rude when she first heard about it, the eunuch later told her Miss Danzhu’s true intentions, and then she got along with Chen Danzhu.
In the past half day, I have already changed my view.
"Axuan, you actually saw it with your own eyes." She thought for a moment and said, "It may seem scary at first glance, but in fact there is more to it."
This is still speaking for Chen Danzhu.
Chen Danzhu glanced at Princess Jin Yao and felt really grateful.
Zhou Xuan smiled: "Princess, I'm not interested in the inside story, I'm just interested in Miss Danzhu's good skills." He waved his hand to the maid standing behind him, "Ziyue, you have a fight with Miss Danzhu,
We are both daughters of military commanders, let’s see who has better skills.”
What? Fight?
Princess Jin Yao frowned, Liu Wei clenched her hands nervously, but Chen Danzhu was okay and glanced at the woman named Ziyue standing next to Zhou Xuan.
"Axuan, what are you talking nonsense about?" Princess Jin Yao was displeased, "What's the point of having a good fight? Miss Danzhu is not a wrestling girl for your entertainment."
Zhou Xuan called Jin Yao with a gentle voice: "I'm not doing this for fun. Ziyue's father was a general of the Zhou Kingdom. He defected to my army and personally went to attack the Zhou Kingdom and died fighting. Ziyue, a woman, followed her father.
, picked up his father's long sword and led the troops to fight." Looking at Chen Danzhu again, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Miss Danzhu's father is also a military general, and he is even more famous. Miss Danzhu is also capable of fighting a group of young ladies and servants.
Competing with other daughters of military commanders is not considered fun, it is the glory of military commanders."
Miss Ziyue is the daughter of General Zhou. Her father died fighting for the imperial court in exchange for the right to be a maid for Zhou Xuan. But you, Chen Danzhu, live such a arrogant and powerful life, is it a bit too much?
Everyone inside and outside the pavilion, including ladies, maids, and maids, all understood.
Chun Miao felt even weaker. It turned out that the person who really came to show Chen Danzhu power was not Princess Jin Yao, but Zhou Xuan.
