As soon as Princess De'an appeared on the stage, the female relatives immediately became enthusiastic again, and the topics came one after another. This princess is not a lively person, she rarely shows up, and usually she can't curry favor with her even if she wants to. Now that she has the opportunity, how can she let it go?

In the blink of an eye, Princess De'an was surrounded by many people on the inside and outside. Although the female family members spoke politely and their postures were elegant and dignified, Yu Zhu could see bursts of smoke rising from their heads...

Grandma Chen San was impatient and went over to join in the fun, dragging Yu Zhu aside to fish in troubled waters, "...Have you seen Ru Qing recently? I have sent messages to her several times to talk to her, but unfortunately her mother-in-law always asks for all kinds of things.

The reason is blocking it.┗2326nbsp;┛" He muttered again: "I didn't expect Mrs. Tan's family to be so strict."

Thinking about it, Yu Zhu hadn't seen Ruqing for a long time. He was still joking with Grandma Chen San. Could it be that she was pregnant?

After lunch and a short nap, the female relatives of each family left one after another. Yu Zhu finally said goodbye to Grandma Chen San and got into her carriage. As soon as she went out and turned a corner, she heard the coachman exclaim: "Second Master."

Yu Zhu glanced at Hua Ruo in surprise, opened the curtain and looked outside, only to see Cheng Xunxun riding on his tall horse that was pure black without a trace of color. His ink-stained black eyes were looking at him intently, leading her to see

A look of confusion.

She went crazy after being drunk last night. However, after she woke up, she still vaguely remembered the "good things" she had done at that time. She pretended to be dead and escaped in the morning. Now looking at Cheng Xunxun's cold and solemn face with a sense of abstinence, she felt

I felt an inexplicable guilty conscience and felt very uneasy. I quickly put down the curtain and didn't dare to look any further.

Then I heard low voices talking outside, then the carriage turned around and accelerated again.

"Why is he here now?"

Yu Zhu muttered and sat in the carriage, Hua Ruo tried her best to hold back her laughter, and said to her master, "It's a coincidence, it must be a coincidence." Now she is an all-round maid, and can do anything. It is said that some things can be done by Tong.

The waiters in the room were better, but Mother Ruan and the others couldn't let the room close to the main house, so they also led them up.

Yuzhu learned his lesson. He only took a peek and no longer dared to open the curtain. Gradually, he heard the noise outside the carriage turning from noisy to silent, as if he had left the city. He couldn't help but wonder where he was going.

The carriage jolted for a while, and one could already hear the occasional melodious chirping of birds and the rustling of dead leaves in the autumn wind.

Is this... on the mountain?

"We're here." A man's voice sounded at the door of the car, and then the door curtain was opened, and Cheng Xunxun stood with a smile.

Yuzhu felt coy, gritted her teeth and shamelessly picked up her skirt and got out of the car. Rather than being shameless, she was really alone and seeking defeat.

The first thing you see is the green and yellow woods, and the ancient temple hidden among them.

Isn't this Zenye Temple? Yu Zhu looked at Cheng Xunxun doubtfully, forgiving her vulgarity, but now there are no beautiful peach blossoms, nor sweet and plump peaches... Could it be that she wants to accompany the old monk to knock wooden fish and chant sutras?

Seeing Cheng Xunxun walking inside with a solemn expression, Yu Zhu had no choice but to stop thinking and follow him.

Several years have passed since the last time I came to appreciate the peach blossoms. At that time, she was just a little girl... Now she is here again, but she is now a married woman. In addition, the spring is full of spring, and everything is full of vitality and the vegetation is flourishing.

, it is late autumn now, except for the pine trees and a few unknown trees that are still dark green and green, everything is desolate and lonely...

She really wanted to be melancholy and sad, hold her heart in her hands and sigh a few words about the passage of time and the impermanence of life, and then shed a few tears in the wind... Unfortunately, no feelings were brewed in the end... so she had to walk with her head down.

The century-old temple is simple and distant, with mottled green bricks still retaining traces of moss, like an ancient painting that has gone through many vicissitudes of life.

Cheng Xunxun led Yuzhu around in a familiar way. Occasionally, he was not surprised when he met a young novice monk passing by. He bowed his head and left. It seemed that he was very familiar with him.

Finally, we stopped in front of a small courtyard in the northeast corner of a back temple. The courtyard door was half open and half closed. Through the open door, we could get a glimpse of the ancient simplicity inside.

"Where is this?" Yu Zhu suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. Could it be that this guy had a foreign wife in the temple, and then got pregnant? gave birth? and came to show her off?

He looked at Cheng Xunxun with a bloody look on his face, searching for the answer.

Cheng Xunxun was also looking at Yu Zhu, with a trace of hesitation flashing in his eyes. Finally, he took a deep breath and said, "Come in." He took the lead and walked in.

As soon as he entered the yard, Yuzhu couldn't help but frowned. This kind of place probably had no other function besides sheltering from wind and rain - the walls were already mottled and peeling, and there were decayed cracks in the cracked walls.

There were wild grasses, and there were a few tattered white beetles outside the house.

Looking around, Yu Zhu even saw a small abandoned vegetable field in the middle of the yard.

After a brief shock, Yu Zhu recalled Cheng Xunxun's speculation about having a foreign wife in the back of his mind, and walked a few more steps inside, not minding that the exquisite and luxurious embroidered shoes on his feet were stained with dust.

I guess I heard the movement outside, and with a "squeak" sound, the door opened, and a thin young man walked out, wearing a green cloth and thin cotton straight jacket. There was no trace of embroidery on the whole body. His skin color was dark, but

The facial features are very clear

Beautiful, with long and slender eyes, black and bright, her thin lips are pursed tightly, and there is even a small dimple on her left cheek. Her eyes were a little frightened at first, but she calmed down after seeing the tall figure outside.

Coming down, I was even a little happy.

"Brother Cheng"

The young man called softly and wanted to step forward, but he stopped when he saw the luxuriously dressed woman with picturesque features next to him...

While Yuzhu was busy solving the puzzle, Hongdou, who was also in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, was also "busy".

"Presumptuous, who do you think you are? Do you even want to take care of me when I go to the garden?" Hongdou stepped forward, pointed her slender white finger at the nose of the servant in front of her and scolded, "You are so blind that you dare to stop me.

, still not getting out of the way.”

The mother in front of her was wearing a neat bun with only a slender silver hairpin on her head. She was withered and looked respectful, but her eyes were full of indifference. "Don't embarrass the slaves. This is an order given by the princess herself."

, even if you beat this slave to death, you won’t be able to get out.”

Fuliu smiled and stepped forward to persuade: "Princess, it's for your own good. As long as you are well, you can go out." But he couldn't help but feel irritated. Could it be that this lunatic stayed in this village?

When the time comes, do you want to accompany me until that time?

Hongdou thought about the extremely bitter concoction that he had to drink every day in the past few months, and had to endure the old coffin-like faces of the old wives looking at Zhuangzi, and an unknown fire rose up in his heart. He wanted to be in the palace.

She has been a lowly child, but when she gets to Zhuangzi and faces a bunch of slaves, will she still have to swallow her anger?

"Pah——"

A half-person high cloisonné jade vase with lotus pattern was smashed into pieces, and the flying pieces of porcelain even landed on the upper part of Na Ma's shoes.

Then an amber bowl holding medicine on the pit table also hit the ground, and the brown medicine juice spilled all over the floor.

After letting out a bad breath, Hongdou sat down gracefully, wiped her hands with the handkerchief, and sneered: "I remember you, let's see."

"Concubine, I think the illness has not healed yet and is getting worse. Let's see another doctor tomorrow." The skinny mother didn't even move her eyebrows. She ordered the little maid to come in and clean up before she left.

Hongdou's face became even more ugly. The doctor she had finally bribed had even written a letter asking him to deliver it to the Crown Prince...

As soon as the skinny mother went out, Fuliu also ran out in a hurry.

"Mother Sun." Fuliu followed up with a smile and asked tentatively: "Doesn't it really matter? This person inside is the most important person of the prince. What if the prince thinks of him in the future...makes a comeback...but what?

Is it good?"

Mother Sun finally showed a disdainful expression, "Have you ever heard of a saying that a phoenix that has lost its feathers is not as good as a chicken? It was not a phoenix in the first place, but now that it has caused trouble, it is just a bald chicken."

She looked at Fuliu's delicate face and smiled slightly: "Besides, the back house is always a woman's place. Are you a vegetarian when you become the princess and the crown prince? Those two are serious masters and are more reliable than the concubines.

Well... The prince is young and is craving for novelty, so he likes those who are gentle and mean-spirited. Who can bear to face a shrew every day?"

“If you don’t pick the flowers that are blooming in a garden full of flowers, will you have unrequited love for one that is out of date?”

Mother Sun shook her head and left.

Fuliu stood there in a daze for a while, then stamped his feet and turned back.

"What did you say?" Seeing Fu Liu come in, Hong Dou quickly stood up and asked hurriedly.

Fuliu looked unhappy and said, "Mama Sun refused to accept it." Then he took out a small package from his sleeve and placed it on the Kang table.

Hongdou glanced at the bag of jewelry, with a ruthless look in his eyes. It would be great if Mama Sun had a granddaughter or something like that with her. He grabbed her baby bump and was afraid that she would not disobey the princess and switch to him...

pity.

The most important thing now is how to convey the news that he is suffering here to the prince. If he can't come hard, he can only come soft. Unfortunately, he didn't bring much money, so he got so much by hiding it.

I bribed the doctor to use some more some time ago, what should I do now...

She has always believed that the only reason why people don't betray is that the interests on display are not enough. She needs to think long term, and one day she will find a flaw...

Thinking of this, a forbearing smile appeared on Hong Dou's slightly rosy face, she pulled Fuliu over, put a red gold hairpin in her palm, and said kindly: "I know you are the most loyal, come all the way with me...

…Don’t worry, I won’t treat you badly when I return to the palace.”

"Your Majesty, how many times have I praised you?" Hong Dou pouted slightly and spoke vaguely on purpose.

Fuliu immediately expressed his loyalty: "I will never forget my lady's great kindness."

Hongdou smiled with satisfaction, lay back lazily, and ordered: "Go and ask the kitchen to make some bird's nests." Being weak means that you can't ignore making yourself fresh and moist. Men are all visual animals.
