The Iron-faced General walked into a room, and Chen Danzhu jumped in right behind him. He looked out again, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sneaky." The Iron-faced General walked over and sat down, "What's so shameful here?"
Chen Danzhu said: "It's not that you don't want to see people, but you don't want to disturb others." He came over sadly and saw General Iron Mask sitting down, so he went to pull a cushion aside, sat down and leaned on the table with a long sigh, "
General, you are too old to understand, this is a matter for young people."
The iron-faced general said: "What's wrong with you young people?"
Chen Danzhu sighed: "It's nothing." She sat up straight again and looked at the tea and snacks on the table. They seemed to be similar to those at the third prince's place. Maybe they were all royal meals given by the emperor. She poured the tea herself and then took it.
I picked up a piece of snack and ate it. I nodded and found that the taste was indeed the same.
After eating and drinking, Chen Danzhu asked casually: "Your Highness, the Third Highness, is also resting here?"
The Iron-faced General hummed, "Your Highness, the Third Highness, still has a lot of things to do. It would be too long to run back and forth between the front and back palaces."
Chen Danzhu chewed some snacks and sighed: "Your Majesty, Third Prince, you have worked so hard."
The iron-faced general said: "Young man, you don't understand. It's a good thing to work harder."
Chen Danzhu curled his lips and took a sip of tea. Then he saw that he was eating and drinking alone. The iron-faced general was leaning on his seat without moving. He hurriedly pushed the snack towards the general: "General, you have worked hard too. Eat some."
Pour him tea with your own hands.
The iron-faced general shook his head: "I am old and have a small appetite, so I don't need these."
My father is also very old, but he also eats a lot. Chen Danzhu said with a smile: "General, you don't want to take off the mask, right? Actually, don't worry, I'm not afraid, I'm not an outsider."
The Iron-faced General ignored her and did not touch the food or drink.
Chen Danzhu didn't force himself, he took the snack and ate it carefully, his mind wandering - the third prince and Ning Ning got along so casually and naturally, the third prince called him every time, even though he was sitting there
It's there, but it's like it doesn't exist.
Alas, Chen Danzhu lowered her head and looked at the snacks in her hand. She once felt that she was very close to the third prince, but when Qi Nu appeared, everything changed.
Her closeness to the third prince was stolen by taking advantage of the opportunity. Now that the real master has come, her fake one has naturally been eclipsed.
It's okay, she still doesn't know how to cure the third prince. Once Qi Nu comes, she can cure the third prince. In the future, the third prince will no longer have so many dietary taboos, will not be easily plotted by others, and will no longer have to follow him.
Himself, burdened by his own reputation——
Although she understood everything, she didn't know why. Chen Danzhu saw a drop of water splashing on the snack in her hand. It was really funny. There would be water splash on the snack. She couldn't help but laugh. She came back to her senses after laughing.
Her eyes were wet, and she suddenly became a little panicked. Why was she crying?
There's nothing to cry about! It's so embarrassing!
Chen Danzhu quietly raised his head to look at General Iron Mask. General Iron Mask had not changed his posture since he sat down. He was leaning on the back of the chair, with his iron mask covering his face. He couldn't see his expression and didn't know if he was asleep.
——
As you get older, do you get sleepy easily?
Chen Danzhu was busy serving tea, raised his sleeves and quickly wiped his tears, calling in a low voice, "General?"
The iron-faced general hummed: "What's the matter?"
Chen Danzhu asked flatteringly: "Fenglin said that the general will live in the military camp from now on, so can I visit the general at any time? I'm here this time - "
The Iron-faced General moved, interrupted her and asked, "What medicine did you give me again?"
It really didn't happen this time - she came to the palace in a hurry and wanted to see the third prince, but she came in a hurry without bringing anything. Chen Danzhu made an uneasy and shocked look: "General, why are you feeling uncomfortable?
Are you ready? You are here with your majesty. I thought the general didn’t need my medicine, but I didn’t expect—” She hurriedly stretched out her hand and asked, “Let me check the general’s pulse.”
The iron-faced general waved his hand: "No, I'm fine. I'm just asking casually. Otherwise, do you have any other reasons to see me?"
Chen Danzhu was stunned, and then laughed again. Who is the Iron-faced General? The tricks she played in front of him were not for him to see, but for the world to see.
"Okay, I understand." She smiled and picked up another snack to eat. "The general lives in the military camp. If I want to see the general, I will let Zhu Lin take him there. I won't be afraid of bumping into His Majesty the Emperor when I go to the military camp."
The Iron-faced General was noncommittal and allowed her to do whatever she wanted. He watched the girl finish the plate of snacks on the table and drank two cups of tea. Although her eyes were still slightly red, her face was full of energy.
"Go back when you're full," he said.
Chen Danzhu also noticed that the plate was empty. He felt a little embarrassed and said sarcastically: "It's rare to eat the food from the imperial meal." After saying that, he stood up and bowed before leaving. "Thank you, General. I'll go then."
The Iron-faced General hummed and saw Chen Danzhu walking out, but after a few steps he ran back again.
"General." Chen Danzhu's eyes widened and he asked, "What do you want from me?"
She had forgotten that it was the Iron-faced General who came to her - he wouldn't come here to eat the imperial snacks and drink tea, would he?
The iron-faced general said: "There was something wrong at first, but now it's okay. You can go back."
Is this so? Just now the third prince said that the general was discussing matters with the emperor, so the matter that he wanted to talk to her about has been discussed, and there is no need to talk about it, right? Thinking of the third prince, Chen Danzhu felt a little dismayed, and responded: "Danzhu has resigned.
, General, call me anytime if you have anything else."
The Iron-faced General hummed and watched Chen Danzhu walk out again, but this time he still did not go out, but hurriedly retreated inward.
"How-" asked the Iron-faced General.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Chen Danzhu turned around hurriedly, hissed at him, hid at the door and pointed outside, mouthing "Third Prince——"
It must be that the third prince was going to continue his work in the palace after resting. The Iron-faced General asked: "What's wrong with the third prince outside? It's not like he can't be seen."
Chen Danzhu waved to him anxiously and lowered his voice: "Don't talk, don't talk, general, you don't understand."
The Iron-faced General shook his head, picked up the scroll on the side and read it, ignoring her.
Chen Danzhu stood behind the door and disappeared into the shadows, looking at the shaking figures cast not far away from the door. The eunuchs raised their shoulders, a female voice spoke, and a figure sat on it. Then the shadows on the ground solidified. It seemed like a long time passed.
The shadow dispersed, and then its footsteps gradually moved away.
Chen Danzhu breathed out softly. Of course it was not impossible to see the third prince, but she didn't really want to see him now. When he did, she always felt embarrassed.
"General, I'm leaving," she said, hanging her head and walking out.
When she walked outside the door, she could still see the third prince's carriage heading towards the main hall. She stared at it for a moment.
Feng Lin was standing outside the door talking to Zhu Lin. When he saw her coming out, he apologized: "I have asked, but it is not convenient for me to enter the harem to send a message to Princess Jin Yao to ask her to come see you, but I will convey this matter to Jin Yao.
Princess, let her know you've been here."
Chen Danzhu smiled at him: "Fenglin, you are too polite, thank you."
Feng Lin hurriedly smiled and said: "Miss Danzhu has such a good temper, Zhu Lin will be blessed to follow you."
Zhu Lin looked at him coldly, why don't you want to enjoy this blessing?
Chen Danzhu laughed: "The bamboo forest is also very good. I am blessed to have the bamboo forest to help me. Okay, bamboo forest, let's go."
Just as he was about to take a step, a female voice came from the other side: "Miss Danzhu."
Chen Danzhu turned around and saw Ning Ning walking gracefully holding a small box in her hand.
"It's you." Chen Danzhu smiled at her, "What's the matter?"
Ning Ning handed over the small box: "His Highness ordered the snacks to be brought to Miss Danzhu."
Chen Danzhu hummed and reached out to take it: "Thank you."
Ning Ning curtsied and smiled again: "Miss Danzhu is too polite. I'll take my leave then. Your Highness cannot live without people."
Chen Danzhu hummed and watched Ning Ning turn around and chase towards the main hall. She held the small box and followed Ning Ning until she reached the shoulder carriage and said something to the third prince on the shoulder carriage.
, the third prince leaned over from the saddle and looked this way——
It was so far away that she could no longer see his face clearly, so Chen Danzhu looked away.
