CHAPTER XXIV

Since the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I have been staying at home and not going out, Chen Huan gave me a few posts and I also pushed them all down, I am still angry about her and Chen Xie's design of me together, and I don't want to face her again for a while. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Liu Mao's news will still be brought by Song Erniang, I know that he is now in a place called Yingchuan, the battle is still fighting, and he has personally led people to fight, and he was slightly injured, and there is no major problem. He also asked people to bring some knick-knacks, which were said to have been collected by the places he passed by in his free time, and sent them to me to relieve my boredom, in short, he babbled a lot of words, and it didn't look like him.

Time flies so fast in a blink of an eye and it's March 3, early in the morning, Mama Xu brought boiled eggs with shepherd's cabbage to me to eat, Jade Butterfly and Caijuan took the little girls to weave all kinds of flower baskets with wicker and then insert flowers, decorating the house with spring, even I, who didn't plan to go out, couldn't help but have the idea of going out for a walk, so I ordered someone to prepare a carriage, planning to take Yudie and Caijuan to the Jishui River together.

It's a pity that as soon as the carriage came to the door, she ran into Chen Huan's carriage, she lifted the curtain and said happily: "Sister Mi, are you going to go to Qingqing?" I'm just going to go out with you, shall we? Seeing that I couldn't hide, I had no choice but to raise the curtain of the carriage and ask the coachman to follow her carriage.

So the two carriages went out of the city one after the other, I occasionally lifted the curtains to look outside, there were a lot of people on the road today, fortunately at this time they were all going out of the city, although the carriage was not going fast but it was smooth, after about half an hour, the carriage finally stopped, Yudie and Caijuan helped me get out of the carriage, at this time we were standing in front of a courtyard by the water, I was slightly surprised, raised my eyes to look ahead, but saw Chen Xie and Chen Huan standing in front of the door I don't know what to say.

I couldn't help but have a headache, I didn't want to see Chen Xie in the first place, but now I'm better to send it to the door myself. I was in the middle of it, and Chen Xie walked over: "Ami, you are here, this is one of my Zhuangzi, the scenery inside is good, you will definitely like it." As he spoke, he let me in, I bowed and walked in, waiting for Chen Huan at the door to come up and grab my arm and whisper, "Sister Mi, I'm just."

I hope you can be good with Brother Wang, you know that I hate that Zhuo Yuting the most, I don't want her to be with my Brother Wang. "Oh! It's just because you don't like Miss Zhuo that you matched us. I said lightly, "No, no, because I know that Brother Wang likes you in his heart, so I agreed to help him." "Then did you ask me if I liked him?" "Is there anything wrong with my brother?" She looked at me with wide eyes in surprise, and I couldn't help but have a headache when I saw her serious appearance.

Chen Xie, who was walking in front, turned his head, saw us stop at the door, and said with a smile: "If you have any whispers, come in and talk about it." Chen Huan agreed with a smile, I smiled reluctantly, and followed Chen Huan into the door.

There are a lot of exotic flowers and plants planted in the Zhuangzi, Chen Xie walked all the way to introduce, I didn't have the heart to listen carefully to his explanation, just silently followed behind him, he led us to wander only in the garden, and gradually climbed a small hill along a path, there is a pavilion on the top of the mountain, the stone table in the pavilion has been placed on the refreshments, the stone bench is covered with a thick brocade mat, at this time I already feel a little tired, Chen Huan also muttered that he was tired, so the group walked in and sat down to rest.

I leaned on the railing and looked at the scenery everywhere, this is the highest point of the whole Zhuangzi, the surrounding scenery is unobstructed, the place I am facing is Jishui, at this time the sky is high and the clouds are light, the wind is smooth, sparkling, the water surface is a piece of white sails, occasionally there are sand gulls hovering low, it looks refreshing. I was admiring, Liu Xie had already sat beside me, and Liu Huan walked far away outside the pavilion, sat down on a stone with his back to us, I frowned, Chen Xie waved his hand, and the people in the pavilion retreated far away.

"Ami, I have something to say to you." Chen Xie leaned over and approached me, and I subconsciously dodged back, "Don't be afraid, I just want to tell you that I really like you, Ami, will you marry me?" I looked at him fixedly: "But I just regard His Highness as an elder brother, and I don't have any other ideas." "Ami, I don't want to be your brother, I've liked you since you went to the study to study, but you always avoid me, Ami, it doesn't matter if you don't like me now, we will have time in the future." "Nope! No! Miss Zhuo actually really likes you, and you are childhood sweethearts who have known each other since childhood, and you are very good together. "I don't like her, I didn't have a childhood sweetheart with her, I just knew her since I was a child, and if Ami didn't like her, I would stay away from her in the future." "It's not because of her, Your Highness, I really never thought of marrying you, there is only brother and sister love between me and you, and there is no love between men and women......"

I said a lot, but he stubbornly refused to accept it, and begged me vigorously, I couldn't help but have a headache, where is this still the prince who quietly maneuvers between the power, he is simply a scoundrel, what a gentle and elegant bearing, at the moment there is no slightest, I am very irritable in my heart, I really want to tell him: I already have someone I like, you don't pester me in the future. But thinking that he and Liu Mao are now in an alliance, and Liu Mao now has to rely on his strength, if I directly poke this matter out, I don't know if it will cause chaos to Liu Mao, so I still didn't say it after all.

Just when I was helpless, Chen Xie frowned and looked behind me, I turned around and saw a group of people walking towards the mountain from a distance, walking in front of a woman in red, Chen Huan who was sitting on the stone also saw it, she turned her head to look at us and looked down the mountain, and ran over: "It's Zhuo Yuwei, Brother Wang, you have to take care of your subordinates, and anyone dares to lead them without going through the report." Chen Xie kept his face calm and didn't squeak, I silently retreated behind him, secretly glad in my heart, if Zhuo Yuting didn't come, I really didn't know how to end.

After a while, Zhuo Yuting came up the mountain, walked into the pavilion, leaned over and saluted Chen Xie, and then stood up, her eyes swirling around me and Chen Huan. said with a smile: "It turns out that Princess Pingyang and the second princess are here to accompany His Royal Highness the Prince, I often hear people say that His Royal Highness's Zhuangzi has a good scenery, but today I am fortunate to see it, it is really a good place." She said, looking around.

Chen Xie said lightly: "In that case, you guys are here to see the scenery, Master Guan is still fishing by the river, I want to go over to say hello, I am out of company." After speaking, he turned around and left, this Master Guan is a master who once taught scriptures in the study, and once served as a secretary of the Ministry of Rites, I heard that now he is at home with his resignation, and since he appeared in the prince's Zhuangzi today, he is naturally a princeling.

Zhuo Yuting worked hard every day to find out Chen Xie's movements, how could she be reluctant to let people go at this moment, so she smiled and said: "I heard that the sister of the Guan family is also here today, and I happened to go to meet it." After speaking, he followed Chen Xie down the mountain together, Chen Huan scolded angrily: "This faceless and skinless person, I really don't know how to be ashamed, she is still everyone's best girl, Sister Mi, we will also go fishing." After speaking, he dragged me down the mountain quickly, I didn't want to follow, but Chen Huan grabbed me tightly, and I couldn't help but staggered down the mountain by her.

A few steps down the mountain is a corner gate, out of the corner gate is the rippling blue water, at this time there are already five or six guests sitting on the shore are fishing, there is a willow tree not far from the shore, there is a coffee table under the tree, there is a woman in her twenties sitting behind, her head is bowing and making tea, the prince Chen Xiehe Zhuo Yuting is not far away and looks at her posture beautifully fiddling with the tea set.

Chen Huan also slowed down when he saw this, and told me in a low voice that the woman was the eldest lady of the Guan family, talented and intelligent, and quite talented since she was a child, and she was married to Fan Yu, a famous man with literary style, but unfortunately she was jealous and famous, Fan Yu died young, and Miss Guan returned to her parents' house when she lost her husband. Therefore, he can be regarded as a celebrity in Jicheng.

When we got closer, she had just distributed the tea, and a maid came up to serve the tea she had divided to a few fishing guests, and I sat around her with Chen Huan, Chen Xie, and Zhuo Yuting, and she looked at me carefully, "This is Princess Pingyang, right?" I said yes and watched her continue to divide the tea.
