Before going to bed, Chu Heng had instructed the maid that if Tan Yan'er came to King Teng's mansion, he would immediately tell her.When Chu Heng woke up the next day, the sun had already risen to the sky, and it was time for lunch.After Chu Heng finished freshening up, he was sitting in the house drinking porridge, and the maid came in to tell him, saying that Tan Yan'er had come to King Teng's mansion again."
Miss Tan has already arrived at Qianjialou at this time, but General Tan didn't come with her."
The maid stood on the edge of the dining table and said respectfully: "Also, the prince asked the girl to come over later, saying that there was something to discuss." ”Chu Heng nodded, waved his hand and let the maid go down.After a cup of tea, Chu Heng finished eating, and then got up and walked out of the small courtyard.But Chu Heng did not go to Qianjialou, but passed through the Hanging Flower Gate, went directly to the backyard, and stopped at the gate of the eldest lady's Furong Courtyard.The eldest lady is not in good health for a while, except for going to the ancestor, the eldest lady has been recuperating in the Furong courtyard and cannot go out.And the second son, Ji Chen, is very filial, and he will come to see the eldest lady at noon every day and accompany the eldest lady to have lunch.Pinching the time, this is exactly the time when the second son, Ji Chen, leaves the Furong Courtyard.Chu Heng didn't wait long before he saw the second son come out of the Furong Courtyard."
Chu Heng?"
Ji Chen saw Chu Heng standing under the tree at a glance, walked over in three or two steps, and looked at her with a warm face: "This son really didn't expect you to be innocent, but in the past, this son looked away, if there is something offended, don't go to your heart." ”Chu Heng smiled and shook his head: "The second son has always been good to Heng'er, where did he offend Heng'er." ”Ji Chen nodded, he said that what he said just now was just politeness, and seeing that Chu Heng dealt with it properly, he opened his mouth and asked about something else: "You came to this Furong Courtyard, but you came to see my mother?"
”"Heng'er heard that the eldest lady was not in good health, and she was very worried."
Chu Heng frowned slightly, and his eyes were full of worry: "But last time, the matter of the stone tablet was messed up by Heng'er, and he failed the expectations of the eldest lady, and Heng'er really didn't have the face to see the eldest lady." ”Ji Chen nodded again, and his tone was extremely regretful: "It's not your fault about the stele, it's my Teng Wangfu's lax guarding, which made people take advantage of the loopholes, for this matter, your father Chu San is still missing, and it's not easy for you to ......"
Chu Heng lowered his head and just saw the navy blue sachet hanging from Ji Chen's waist.This sachet is not the first time Chu Heng has seen it, when the maids of Qingyan Pavilion are there, Chu Heng has seen this sachet.At that time, the eldest lady was furious and asked all the maids of Qingyan Pavilion to kneel in Furong Courtyard, and when Qin Lan knelt, what she was holding tightly in her hand was this navy blue sachet.It seems that what the emperor said is right, Qin Lan and the second prince are really together.Chu Heng's long eyelashes flickered, blocking the light under her eyes, and she stood there silently without speaking.Ji Chen glanced at Chu Heng, only when she was pretending to be guilty, and seeing that Chu Heng didn't speak, Ji Chen continued: "Also, don't go to Furong Courtyard to see my mother recently, my mother is already weak, and something like this happened in the palace, which made her worry all day long, plus the ancestor is also sick, my mother is not a quarter of an hour in her heart, she is afraid that she is really not in the mood to see you at this time." ”"Since the second prince said so, Heng'er understands, then Heng'er won't bother the eldest lady first."
Chu Heng sighed and made a gesture towards Ji Chen: "Heng'er will go first." ”Ji Chen nodded.Chu Heng finished his work, straightened up, and just turned around to leave, but the soles of his feet suddenly slipped and fell straight to the second son.Ji Chen hurriedly reached out to hold Chu Heng's arm: "Be careful." ”Chu Heng stabilized his body, and hurriedly made a gesture to Ji Chen: "Let the second son laugh, Heng'er can't sleep every night these days, and he is a little dazed during the day." ”Ji Chen sighed: "The palace is in an eventful autumn, it is better for you to let the maid boil some soothing soup for you later, and it is good to do things by nourishing your spirit." ”"Thank you, Second Son."
The corners of Chu Heng's mouth raised slightly, and he said goodbye to Ji Chen.Leaving the Furong Courtyard, Chu Heng went directly to Qianjialou.Ji Chen stood alone under the tree, looking at Chu Heng's back, his face was cloudy.He didn't believe that Chu Heng was worried about the eldest lady, so he lingered outside this Furong courtyard.Ji Chen had long known that Chu Heng really complained about the eldest lady in his heart, but today Chu Heng was so abnormal, but what kind of heart was An?
Thinking of this, Ji Chen patted the sleeve of his shirt that had just been touched by Chu Heng: "This is a lot of tricks, but don't want to get into the way." ”After Ji Chen patted his sleeves, he still felt uneasy, and he raised his legs and walked quickly towards the courtyard where he lived in the front yard."
Master, why did you come back so early?"
Ji Chen's little servant was drying books in the yard, and when he saw Ji Chen coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward: "Master, the four sets of autumn clothes newly made have been delivered, do you want to take a look, if you look at it, the small ones will put them into the cabinet and pull them to the capital with the car, and the queen mother's birthday banquet will be worn again, although our Fujicheng is still summer at the moment, but the north is very cold." ”Ji Chen waved his hand, not interested in this: "Go and fetch water, I want to bathe." ”The little girl nodded, wondering why the second son wanted to take a bath at noon, and went to the small kitchen behind to boil water.As soon as Ji Chen entered the house, he quickly dragged off the robe on his body.He always felt that the sleeves of this dress exuded a vague fragrance, which made people feel uncomfortable.After a while, hot water was sent in, and Ji Chen threw the clothes to the little maid, so that he didn't have to wash them, and threw the clothes away, and then Ji Chen soaked them in the hot water.After this moment, Ji Chen felt that the fragrance on the clothes was getting stronger and stronger.Even the little guy had already taken his clothes and left, and he could still smell the smell on the tip of his nose.At the same time, Chu Heng was standing under the tree in the Qianjia Building, watching Tan Yan'er walk out of the Qianjia Building from a distance, and she was still holding a small cloth package in her arms.Because the Tengwang Mansion didn't know that the news of Ji Cheng's life had been leaked, the news still had to be kept secret, and every time Tan Yan'er came to Teng Wang's Mansion to enter the Qianjia Building, she never brought a maid, which made Tan Yan'er very uncomfortable.Tan Yan'er walked out of Qianjia Building, and was looking sullen, when she saw Chu Heng standing under the tree outside the building like bamboo, she walked over and looked at Chu Heng provocatively: "The so-called nonsense is just a liar full of nonsense." ”Chu Heng didn't quarrel with Tan Yan'er, she made a gesture towards Tan Yan'er: "I've seen Miss Tan." ”Tan Yan'er snorted coldly, it could be seen that Chu Heng was well-behaved, and she couldn't find fault with it anymore, so she asked, "What are you doing here?"
”"The prince has something to discuss with the prince, and Heng'er is here waiting for the prince to go in together.""
The prince will be back in a while?"
Tan Yan'er's eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth rose: "Then I'll wait for him here." ”Chu Heng glanced at Tan Yan'er's head, and his eyes widened a little: "The leaves have fallen on Miss Tan's head." ”Without waiting for Tan Yan'er to react, Chu Heng reached out and plucked the leaves that fell on the side of Tan Yan'er's bun.
