Chapter 764 Princess 13
At the same time, in the Princess's Mansion.
Gu Zhouyan's residence.
Gu Zhouyan lay on the table, shaking a brand new string of nine-linked rings in his hand. In the past, he might have been interested in the string of nine-linked rings, but now he had no interest at all.
He looked listless, his eyes drooped, and he looked weak.
"Mother is such a fool. Why didn't you let me enter the palace today?"
"If Feng Ning can't see me, she will think that I have given up halfway and don't like reading." Gu Zhouyan grabbed his hair and was crazy, even his hair was messed up by him.
"And that Xu Zhinian, he doesn't look like a good person at first glance, my mother has misled me!"
When Wei Song heard these words, the corners of his mouth twitched violently. After all, it was really unbelievable that the young prince could say something like "reading a book".
However, listening to the young prince's mumbling, Wei Song still said truthfully: "Young prince, Her Royal Highness the Princess said that you kicked over a few flower pots when you entered the palace yesterday. Although it's not a big deal, you still have to reflect on it in the mansion."
Wei Song suddenly thought of yesterday. He just bowed his head and didn't know what happened to the young prince, but he kicked the flowerpot over in excitement.
That scene at that time was truly... a "surprise".
Wei Song thought so and a hint of doubt appeared on his face, but he still placed the roast goose he had just bought on the table with extra respect.
"Little Prince, this is your favorite roast goose, freshly baked, please try it."
"What are you looking at? I'm not hungry. I don't want to eat."
Speaking of flower pots, Wei Song looked puzzled again. The young prince was embarrassed and annoyed, and had no appetite to eat.
Moreover, he would never admit that when he and Feng Ning parted yesterday, Feng Ning looked back at him, and that glance back amid the riot of colour was truly more beautiful than all the flowers in bloom in the world.
He was so excited that he couldn't hide his joy when he turned around. He kicked the flowerpot beside him unexpectedly.
By the time he reacted, it was too late to remedy the situation.
The flowerpot even turned a few circles in front of him.
The young prince covered his face. How embarrassing! Fortunately, Feng Ning didn't see it. If Feng Ning knew, I don't know if she would laugh at him.
Thinking of those smiling eyes, the young prince blushed again.
If she wanted to laugh...it was not... impossible.
When Feng Ning smiles, tears will surely well up in her eyes, and perhaps... there will even be a blush on her fair face.
"Little prince."
Just as Gu Zhouyan was falling into a state of shame and embarrassment, an anxious and excited voice suddenly came from outside the house.
"Princess Fengning is back!"
The young prince was stunned by the content of the words before he could say anything. After he realized what was going on, he jumped for joy.
Finally, he ran away like a gust of wind... Halfway through, he seemed to remember something, turned back, picked up the roast goose wrapped in oil paper on the table, put it in his arms - and left.
Wei Song and other servants: "..."
"!!!"
This speed and this reaction simply left everyone present stunned and overwhelmed.
Wei Song rubbed his eyes and felt dizzy. Didn’t the young prince say he didn’t want to eat it? Why did he take it away again?
Hey, he hurriedly chased after him.
-
As for Sheng Huan, she finished looking at the potatoes.
Get up.
"Princess." Xue Qing handed over a clean handkerchief with great tact.
Sheng Huan took it and lowered her eyes to see that her white and slender fingers were already stained with some dirt. She wiped it carelessly:
"Xueqing, tell the servants to buy three piglets when they go out to buy groceries tomorrow."
"Yes, Princess. I'll make a note of it."
Although pork was smelly and lowly, and was only eaten by the lower classes as a last resort, Xueqing did not raise any questions. After all, the princess seemed to be very interested in pigs in recent days, and several of the books she read in the palace were related to pigs.
After giving the instructions, Sheng Huan planned to go back to the house.
"Feng Ning!"
As she took a step, she heard an excited voice coming from a familiar place in the distance.
"You're back!"
The young prince climbed up the wall again and again. When he saw Sheng Huan looking at him, he quickly raised the oil paper bag in his hand.
"Do you want to eat roast goose? It's Zuiyunlou's signature dish, fresh from the oven!"
"Is it tasty?"
Sheng Huan didn't ask him why he climbed over the wall again, but smiled.
The girl, in a sparkling red dress, stood among the green buds, like a rose blooming in the wind.
The young prince paused slightly, his eyes wandering, and his throat moved unconsciously.
"Delicious."
"Hmm." The girl looked at him with her eyebrows slightly curved, a smile overflowing from her clear eyes: "Since you said so, I still believe in your taste."
Gu Zhouyan obviously understood what he meant when he heard that. Heat broke out on his face, but his body reacted honestly and he couldn't wait to jump off the wall.
He looked at the girl and could not help but run, but in the end, he restrained his legs from running and let himself stroll leisurely.
But apparently, it was too late.
"for you."
The young prince didn't dare to look at the person. He walked closer and handed over the oil paper bag.
Sheng Huan reached out his hand.
But her hand ended up on his head.
Gu Zhouyan's body stiffened slightly, and her breathing became disordered for a moment, especially when the girl raised her hand, a faint fragrance lingered, this fragrance made her even more at a loss.
In the end, he just stared at the girl standing on tiptoes in front of him.
"Gu Zhouyan, you are so tall."
The girl seemed not to notice. She raised her little face and placed her white and tender fingers on the little prince's head.
Gu Zhouyan's heart was pounding, and every hair on his head was fluttering as if it was about to explode.
"Feng, Fengning." Gu Zhouyan clenched the oil paper bag in his hand, and his bony fingers turned pink because of his owner's shyness.
"Don't move." Sheng Huan stared at the little prince's head, very seriously: "Gu Zhouyan, where were you just now? Your hair is a little messy, I'll help you tidy it up."
When Gu Zhouyan heard this, all his shyness disappeared, and he suddenly remembered the scene of himself pulling his head in distress.
The more he thought about it, the more desperate he looked.
No way! My hair is really messy! I have a messy head now! Damn Wei Song, Gu Zhouyan gritted his teeth, why didn't he remind him? If he reminded him, how could he make a fool of himself in front of Feng Ning now.
The young prince had an expression as if the sky had fallen.
Feng Ning wouldn't think that he doesn't care about his appearance when he is at home, right?
Sheng Huan glanced at him and grabbed the boy's hair.
This hair quality is really good.
"Young Master, Young Master, I just took a nap and didn't have time to comb my hair. Yes, I didn't comb it." The young prince didn't know what the girl had done. He looked at her clear eyes and tried to make amends, nodding frantically: "I have always been very respectable at home and outside."
"Feng Ning, if you don't believe me, you can ask my mother!"
Seeing him trying hard to explain, Sheng Huan held back his laughter.
"Ok, I know."
"I believe."
Sheng Huan took his hand back and looked at the boy, suppressing the smile on his face: "It just so happens that I also want to eat this roast goose, Gu Zhouyan, let's eat together."
After Sheng Huan finished speaking, Gu Zhouyan no longer thought about his hair.
There was only one thought in his mind at this moment.
Hey, Fengning invited me to eat roast goose together.
She invited me.
Today she invited me to eat roast goose, tomorrow is dinner, and the day after tomorrow is...
*
Gu Zhouyan ate the roast goose like an idiot the whole time.
In his eyes and heart, there was only the girl in front of him who was smiling brightly and a little bit naughty.
-
Later, when Gu Zhouyan returned to the Princess's Mansion, he felt dizzy the whole time.
But when he saw in the mirror with a silly smile on his face the fish whose hair was about to explode and a tuft of hair was standing up, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and then... he turned terrified.
"what!"
He grabbed the mirror suddenly and wailed.
"Little Prince, what's wrong with you?"
Wei Song didn't understand what was going on and became anxious and flustered.
After all, the young prince's voice sounded too tragic.
The young prince looked at him quickly, and said, "Is this how I went out today?"
Wei Song looked at his master's head hesitantly, and was silent for a moment.
This isn't that messy. Why did the young prince suddenly become so meticulous?
When the young prince saw that he didn't say anything, he knew that he agreed, and his lips trembled violently.
"Get out!"
"Yes, yes, I'll get out of here right away."
Wei Song slipped away in a hurry, fearing that the young prince would suddenly go crazy.
At this time, the young prince in the room had already rolled into the bed holding the mirror in his arms in a mad manner.
"Ah! Feng Ning saw it!"
"Will Feng Ning dislike it?"
The young prince took out the mirror and looked at himself carefully. He saw that he was handsome with red lips and white teeth. His hair was a little messy, but because it was messy, it looked more unruly. He was quite satisfied.
But when he thought of Feng Ning's eyes today, he couldn't help feeling ashamed again.
"Ahhhh!"
As the young prince spoke, he couldn't help but touch his hair.
"No wonder Feng Ning has been trying to hold back her laughter today. She must not dare to make me sad."
"She also helped me cut my hair, but it was really messy and she couldn't do it well."
Thinking of the girl's fingers running through his hair today, a strange blush appeared on the young prince's face, and he couldn't help but cry out.
"Feng Ning is so kind."
"hey-hey."
-
Princess House.
This is Sheng Huan.
"Puchi." Sheng Huan, who was taking off his jewelry, laughed out loud unexpectedly.
"Princess." Xueqing and Tanyue looked up immediately.
Tan Yue smiled and asked, "Princess, have you thought of anything happy?"
Sheng Huan nodded with a smile on her red lips: "He seems a little cute..."
Upon hearing this, Tan Yue and Xue Qing immediately looked at each other. As for the "he" mentioned by the princess, of course, it depends on personal opinion.
Sheng Huan is generous.
"Don't you think his headdress today is cute?"
Sheng Huan was not afraid that others would know who she was talking about. After all, the entire princess mansion belonged to her, and the person in front of her was her confidant.
Tan Yue and Xue Qing confirmed it and were not surprised at all.
They obviously thought of today as well, and for a moment they tried very hard to hold back their laughter.
Xue Qing used a jade comb to comb her master's hair, her shoulders trembling slightly: "The young prince's hairstyle today is a little special. And if you comb it a little, it will be even more unique."
Sheng Huan looked at himself in the mirror: "Gu Zhouyan's hair is very good. It feels..."
She seemed to think for a moment. Tan Yue and Xue Qing moved closer, and it took a while before they heard the melodious voice of their master.
"Well...I can't let it go."
-
Suburbs of Beijing, evening.
A simple horse-drawn carriage was traveling on the official road.
"Stop them!"
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard, coming from far away and getting closer. Soon, the carriage was surrounded tightly.
In the carriage, the maid's face was pale.
"Ma'am, they are chasing us."
"Are they going to kill us?"
The lady she was talking about had her face covered with a veil, and her once cold eyes were replaced by haggardness and fatigue.
"Ahem..." Madam's pale and skinny fingers fell on the maid's wrist. She resisted the itch in her throat and said, "Don't panic. This is the outskirts of Beijing. We'll soon reach the capital. They won't dare to kill anyone."
The moment the lady finished speaking, the carriage curtain was suddenly lifted from the outside. Then, a shrewd and thin middle-aged man stepped forward.
"Young Madam is right. I am a civilized man. How could I possibly be violent towards you?"
The lady's eyes were filled with anger: "I have been divorced by your Sun family, so don't call me Young Madam. I left with your master's permission. If you are following me now, do you want to regret it?"
"It was the old servant who said the wrong thing." The middle-aged man didn't care: "It's just that... Madam Wen, did you forget that you took something you shouldn't have taken?"
"What shouldn't you take? That's my wife's dowry!" The maid was furious when she heard this: "You Sun family, you don't want our wife's dowry, do you have any shame?"
"Madam Wen." The middle-aged man ignored the maid and looked at Madam Wen, smiling: "You killed my young master, you should leave some interest."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid you and I will have to go back to the Sun family today."
"Butler Sun, this is the outskirts of Beijing. I have already sent a letter back to the Wen family. If you force me to go back now, I will die. Tomorrow, my Wen family will definitely seek justice, and you can forget about the reputation of your Sun family."
"Madam Wen, why are you so angry? You have been married to the Sun family for two years and have no children. Not only that, you have also killed our young master. The master generously let you go, but he just wants to collect some interest."
The two factions were in a stalemate and neither was willing to give in.
Madam Wen also knew that if she pushed these people too far, she would be in trouble. If she wanted to go home, she had to give up some things, otherwise she would be entangled in the future. She said coldly, "Except for my books, you can take everything away."
Anyway, her dowry was almost eaten up by those people. She really didn't expect that the Sun family could be so shameless.
"Wouldn't it be better if Madam Wen did this earlier?"
The middle-aged man waved his hand and asked the servant to take the things away, but he did not forget to sneer.
"Madam Wen, what's the point of you going home? You are a divorced woman, do you think the Wen family will treat you as before?!"
"Hmph, especially that Third Master Wang who didn't appreciate his fortune. He didn't want to be a good consort. He would be dead by now. He won't be able to support you in the future."
Madam Wen, also known as Wen Rushu, said with disgust: "He and I have nothing to do with each other."
"But your Sun family, from top to bottom, all like to make up stories!"
-
The next day, Sheng Huan woke up.
The palace servants had brought back three piglets very efficiently.
"Princess, the piglets are healthy. The palace servants have taken them to the west courtyard and are waiting for your instructions."
"Okay." Sheng Huan nodded, opened the book in his hand, and said, "Go find someone who can incite castration..."
