Laughter rang out in the garden, and laughter spread into a circle.

"It's so playful."

Concubine Xian smiled at a noble girl beside her.

The girl bowed her head shyly.

The women around them were smiling, and the young women had different expressions, some envious, some disdainful, some indifferent.

"Alright, let's sit down here." Concubine Xian beckoned to the ladies and motioned to the girls, "You young people go and play by yourself, look at the scenery here, don't be restrained, there is no one else in the garden, you can play at will." ”

Although everyone didn't come here to see the scenery, Concubine Xian dispersed in twos and threes when she spoke.

Concubine Xian saw that the crown princess was still sitting still, so she smiled and said, "You go play too." ”

The crown princess smiled: "I'm not small. ”

"If there are elders, they are still children." Concubine Xu said with a smile on the side.

What do you mean, do you mean that the prince and her should not be proud in front of her? The crown princess snorted in her heart, the third prince was crowned king, Concubine Xu was really getting more and more proud, she smiled and got up and responded: "Then I'll go and play with the children." ”

said goodbye and left, just right, she didn't want to sit here, and she had to thank Concubine Xu for driving her away.

The crown princess walked away, and the four palace maids standing on the side hurriedly followed, and one of them bowed his head and walked to the side of the crown princess.

"Is everyone arranged?" The crown princess asked in a low voice.

The palace maid said in a low voice: "It's all arranged." ”

The crown princess nodded in satisfaction, and looked ahead, where seven or eight women were gathered and laughing around a swing.

"Let's go." "I'll go and see these girls," she said. ”

Watching the princess walk to the girls and laugh, and then the two girls started to swing, the princess stood next to her and stroked her palms, and the virtuous concubine sitting by the lake smiled at Concubine Xu: "Although she is a mother of two children, she is actually still a young person, and she also likes to play." ”

Concubine Xu glanced at it and pointed with a fan: "The crown princess is a guest, so that the young people let go of playing, you see, she doesn't play herself, and she goes to another place." ”

Although Concubine Xian asked the girls to play around, in fact, everyone did not leave too far and scattered around the lake, after all, this can be seen by the two mothers of Concubine Xian and Concubine Xu, and when the three princes come over, they can also see it in time.

The crown princess left the girls on the swing frame, and walked to the few people who were watching the fish by the lake, laughed, and gave something, and after a while, several palace maids sent fishing rods and other fishing tools, and the girls laughed and began to fish.

When they started playing, the princess walked away to the other girls, and sure enough, she was a warm and thoughtful host—

But in addition to feeling warm and thoughtful, the ladies also had a hint of other feelings, as if the crown princess was observing these girls, and the ladies sitting together couldn't help but look at each other in twos and threes, and exchanged glances - does the prince want to pick a good one?

Although she is not a wife, the prince is the prince, and she will be the emperor when she ascends the throne in the future, and Liangdi will become the concubine - if she can be a concubine, she will be one level lower than the queen, and the princesses will bow their heads when they see it.

This is not impossible, the crown prince and the crown princess have been married for many years, and now that the country is stable, it is time to accept new people.

The eyes of the ladies present became more lively.

The Imperial Garden seemed to be lively, and laughter flew in the distance, crashing through the cracks in the vines.

Chen Danzhu, who was stretching out his hand to pull the leaves from the vines, paused his hand, and the person pasted it forward, looking at the end of the road ahead-

"It's like playing on a swing." She turned her head and whispered.

Chu Yurong sat on the ground, holding a slender leaf in his hand, and a bunch of long and short leaves scattered in his arms, some complete and some disconnected, hearing Chen Danzhu's words, he leaned forward slightly and also looked at it, and nodded: "When I came over, I saw a swing over there." Look at Chen Danzhu again, "Swing, is it fun?" ”

Chen Danzhu thought for a while: "It's not bad, Your Highness can try it next time." But maybe the doctors won't allow it, for the sick and weak, it's not allowed to take a few more steps, she thought about it again, "You can install a hanging chair first, and Your Highness can get used to it." ”

Chu Yurong said yes, shook the leaves in his hand, and motioned to Chen Danzhu: "Have you made a good choice?" ”

Although you are curious about the swing, are you still focusing on the grass in front of you? Chen Danzhu smiled, tore off a leaf, sat down opposite Chu Yurong, rubbed the leaf in the palm of his hand, and then held it to his mouth and blew.

"We must win this time." She muttered, "I'm not going to lose this time." ”

Chu Yurong looked at the leaf in his hand calmly: "I still win." ”

Chen Danzhu said twice, moved his arms, and held Ye Zi with both hands and raised it: "Okay, let's start." ”

Chu Yurong used the leaves in his hand to cover Chen Danzhu's, and the leaves on both sides were crossed.

The two of them looked solemn and stared at the leaves.

"One, two, three." Chen Danzhu said, "Let's go. ”

Under an order, the leaves intersecting with the cross pulled each other, Chen Danzhu's body and arms were tense, and the Chu Yu on the opposite side did not move at all, with a soft sound, the leaves in Chen Danzhu's hands broke, and she pinched the leaves and whispered-

"Are you cheating?" She pointed at Chu Yurong.

"How could I be a fool." Chu Yurong showed her the leaves in his hand, "They were all picked from a vine." He reached out and pulled out the broken leaf from Chen Danzhu's hand and put it in his arms-"You can't afford to lose, right?" ”

Chen Danzhu looked at his empty hands and looked at him vigilantly: "How could I not afford to lose!" But I've heard Jin Yao say that you look honest, but you're actually very good at cheating, and when you played games when you were a child, you often bullied her - do you have a lot of strength? ”

Sick and crooked people shouldn't be, and they all support him when they go down the rockery.

Chu Yurong lowered his head and counted the broken leaves in his arms, and retorted without raising his head: "I have a lot of strength, it doesn't mean that the leaves are strong, don't listen to Jin Yao, she is making excuses for losing." He finished counting, looked up and smiled, "I won fifteen times, and you owe me fifteen." ”

Under the vine trellises, the sunlight is dappled, making his face more deep and handsome, and his smile is like melting ice and snow.

Chen Danzhu was stunned, then muttered back to his senses: "Fifteen times are also worthy of being so happy." ”

Chu Yurong said: "It's worth being happy to win, even if it's a money, it's worth it." ”

Chen Danzhu looked at the young man's serious expression, she was happy to win, but it was not happy to lose, she seemed to be a very polite person in the first few contacts, how could she play so fiercely, she couldn't help but say angrily: "It's just fighting grass." ”

And she is a girl, and these six princes didn't let her win once.

Seeing the unhappy appearance of the girl, Chu Yurong was not uneasy, but said seriously: "Play is also to be attentive, regardless of men and women, you can have fun only if you work hard." ”

Okay, okay, it seems that he is having fun, Chen Danzhu is funny again, admitting defeat: "I will give you money." Speaking of this, he raised his eyebrows again, with a little smugness, "I am now richer and richer." ”

What is the money she said, Chu Yurong knew that at the beginning of the feast, he came out to wander, the six princes were not familiar with the palace, but the iron-masked general was very familiar, this palace was the first he entered, before the emperor moved in, he carefully surveyed every place - he saw Chen Danzhu bored at the banquet, saw Chen Danzhu being followed by Concubine Xu, saw Concubine Xu disperse the palace maid and blocked Chen Danzhu, and he heard all their conversations by the window at the back of the house-

Three million guan, to two million guan.

"That's great." He smiled slightly, "I'm glad that Miss Danzhu is rich, and I wish Miss Danzhu will be richer in the future." ”

Is it richer next? No one should have thrown money at her, right? Zhou Xuan's family is not in the capital, Chen Danzhu tilted his head and thought, I don't know if His Majesty is willing to pay for Zhou Xuan-

She put aside these thoughts and rubbed her hands: "It's not about money, you can't lose if you have money, come back again, I won't believe it, I'm so unlucky, I can't win you once I find a leaf." ”

She was just about to stand up, Chu Yurong raised her hand and booed her, looking outside, Chen Danzhu stopped moving.

"Someone." Chu Yurong said to her.

Chen Danzhu had already seen that two palace maids came from the road on the right, the two of them pulled and pulled to look left and right, and finally went around to this side to avoid the road and stood behind the bushes, leaning on the vine trellis-

"-really?" A palace maid asked in a low voice, "Impossible, right?" ”

"Really, I heard with my own ears what the palace maids and sisters around the crown princess said." Another palace maid whispered, "The crown prince wants to choose a wife for the fifth prince as well—"

The palace maid before seemed to believe it: "No wonder the crown princess has been walking around among the nobles, is it that she is looking at each other?" ”

"Actually, it's already optimistic." The voice of the other palace maid was lower, and it seemed to be attached to the ear of the previous palace maid-

Chen Danzhu was also almost attached to the vine, holding his breath, and heard the subtle three words coming.

"-Chen Danzhu-"
