After hearing this, Chen Du hurriedly pulled back his hand and slightly distanced himself from Jiang Huan.
Before he could say anything more, he heard a voice coming from behind him, "There is no need for my third brother to worry about my wife."
Along with this voice appeared the dusty Chen Ruyi.
Chen Ruyi's face was livid, and his displeasure was clearly written on his face.
He pushed the wheelchair straight towards the two of them, with veins showing on his slightly exposed neck, which looked a little scary.
However, there was a man behind Chen Ruyi. The man was dressed in white as snow. Even though it was the twelfth lunar month, he still held a folding fan made of silk.
His eyebrows are picturesque, gentle as water, and his every move has a scholarly air, especially the folding fan with an ink landscape painting on it.
The painting looked familiar. Jiang Huan took a closer look and realized that the painting on the man's fan was the same as the landscape painting hanging in the main house.
similar.
The man had a white jade crown erect, his face was like a crescent moon, and there was a slight smile at the corner of his mouth. He looked very talkative.
He moved his wrist slightly, and the folding fan retracted with a clatter.
"Why are you so angry? You haven't seen each other for a long time. Why are you acting like this when you meet? If there are outsiders here, wouldn't it be a joke to others?" The man persuaded with a smile.
He cleverly stepped in front of Chen Ruyi and Chen Du. This smile made the two people lose most of their anger for a while. Chen Ruyi, who was still full of anger just now, also turned away and snorted coldly,
Then he walked around the man and walked towards Jiang Huan.
But when he walked up to Jiang Huan, there was an uncontrollable look of worry on his face, "Is there something wrong with you?"
Jiang Huan quickly shook his head and said softly, "It's okay. I guess I didn't have lunch, so I'm a little dizzy."
After hearing this, Chen Du's usually expressionless face turned into a strange color. He glanced at the pastries placed on the table not far away, and his brows knitted tightly.
Jiang Huan usually doesn't like eating these old-fashioned pastries. They are too dry and difficult to swallow. Jiang Huan doesn't like them after taking one bite.
It's just that all the dishes placed in the main room are filled with these pastries.
Chen Du's eyes darkened slightly. He looked back and forth at Chen Ruyi and Jiang Huan, and then he looked away.
He cupped his hands and said in a low voice, "I have important matters to attend to today. I forgive you for not being able to reminisce with Brother Wang. I will come visit you again on the day of the disaster relief meeting."
After saying that, Chen Du turned around and prepared to leave.
But he glanced at the pastries again, hesitated again and again, turned around and cupped his hands and said, "My dear brother, I have a lot to say."
Chen Ruyi originally didn't want to keep Chen Du here, but because of her dignity, she had to listen.
He nodded slightly and motioned for Chen Du to continue speaking.
"The fifth princess and my brother have known each other since they were young. She doesn't like eating these old-fashioned cakes, but prefers some sweets with thin skin and soft glutinous texture. If the emperor likes to prepare some food in the house on weekdays, it is better to choose some of the ones suggested by my brother.
"After Chen Du finished speaking, seeing Chen Ruyi's pressure getting lower, he hurriedly added, "The fifth princess traveled thousands of miles to marry Chen State to bring good relations between the two countries. My brother's offer is just to make it better.
The fifth princess lives more comfortably in Chen Kingdom, and there is no other intention."
After saying that, Chen Du bowed extremely respectfully and walked away without stopping for a moment.
Chen Ruyi looked at Chen Du's voice disappearing outside the main room, and then she regained her gentle expression.
He raised his hand and ordered the servants to remove all the pastries from the main room. Then he frowned slightly and asked, "You really don't like eating these?"
Chen Ruyi also found it strange these days. Most of the cakes she sent to the east courtyard were sent back to the kitchen intact.
The chef was also confused, thinking that the pastries he made were not to Jiang Huan's taste, but he did not expect that the fifth princess did not like to eat this kind of pastries from the beginning to the end.
Jiang Huan smiled apologetically, fearing that if she said she loved eating, there would be a lot of cakes sent to the east courtyard.
Even if I try to distribute some to those little beggars, I won't be able to deliver them in time.
Chen Ruyi already knew it with just this apology smile.
He sighed softly and reached out to hold Jiang Huan's hand.
He always had nothing to do with her, so when it came to what he wanted to say, he couldn't help but soften his tone.
Even Chen Ruyi himself didn't notice that he was acting coquettishly.
"Next time, if you like something or don't like something, just tell me. If you don't tell me, you can tell the chef. You are the future Crown Princess, and the Crown Prince's Mansion will be your home in the future.
"Chen Ruyi said so categorically, the light in his eyes made Jiang Huan's nose sore, and she felt extremely unhappy.
While she was secretly feeling sad, she heard the man in white approaching with a smile. He looked at the two of them with his eyes, and then with a hint of teasing, he said, "You two are really not married yet.
It’s just you and me. It’s really boring!”
As the man spoke, he shook his shoulders and made a disgusted expression.
Chen Ruyi coughed twice, and a blush appeared on her cheeks, "I want you to talk too much."
To Jiang Huan's ears, Chen Ruyi's cooing tone sounded like a little brother acting coquettishly.
Jiang Huan snickered, but her eyes moved to the man in white, "Who is this?"
Without waiting for Chen Ruyi's introduction, the man in white said gracefully, "I am Qiu Xingjian, the Grand Tutor of the Taiyuan Academy. I am the best friend of this young prince."
Qiu Xingjian deliberately emphasized the word "bamboo horse", and even secretly whispered into Jiang Huan's ear, "This little prince was attached to me when he was young. If he hadn't seen that he liked you, the fifth princess, he would have liked you."
Everyone here thinks that the little prince has a habit of cutting off his sleeves."
Jiang Huan couldn't help but cover her mouth and snickered, looking at Chen Ruyi with a hint of teasing in her eyes.
When Chen Ruyi looked at Jiang Huan, she probably knew that Qiu Xingjian had never said anything good about her.
He glared at Qiu Xingjian with feigned anger and asked, "What are you talking about again?"
Qiu Xingjian was not annoyed, he just imitated the master's example, shook his head and said, "To talk about the prince of our Chen Kingdom, we still have to start from the fact that he was still wearing crotchless pants when he was three years old...
