After the third prince left, it began to rain in spring, and it rained intermittently for several days.

Chen Danzhu sat under the porch, pounding medicine with a pestle for a while, and Ah Tianyan'er stood in the kitchen watching this scene.

"I've been pounding this medicine for three days." Yan'er whispered, "Didn't Miss say that she wanted to sell one or two more gold before the hot weather?" ”

At this rate, I'm afraid I won't be able to do much.

Ah Tian said: "If you can't do it, you can't do it, anyway, Your Majesty gave Marquis Zhou a lot of money to recuperate from his injuries." ”

That's right, Yan'er nodded, and looked at Chen Danzhu with a distressed expression: "Since the third prince left, Miss has been so listless, when will the third prince come back?" ”

Then I don't know, Ah Tian said: "I'll let Zhulin ask." ”

Yan'er tugged at her sleeve and pointed over there: "That annoying Marquis Zhou is here again." ”

Ah Tian pouted: "When we want to eat and drink for a while, we should not have heard." ”

Chen Danzhu heard the footsteps and knew that there was someone—Peach Blossom View was also an outsider—and Zhou Xuan approached, but ignored it until a hand reached over and took the medicine pestle from her hand.

"Chen Danzhu." Zhou Xuan said unhappily, "Do you take care of patients like this?" Day by day, no one was seen. ”

Chen Danzhu didn't care if he didn't have a medicine pestle, he looked at the rain in the yard with his head on his hand, and said lazily: "You can go by yourself, you don't need me to serve you if you take medicine, right?" ”

Zhou Xuan smashed the medicine pestle on her head: "If the third prince hasn't left yet, you will definitely still chase me to feed the medicine." ”

Chen Danzhu laughed: "Marquis Zhou knows in his heart what else to ask." ”

Zhou Xuan held the medicine pestle in his hand and turned it like a sword: "Chen Danzhu, you are dead-"

Before he finished his words, Chen Danzhu jumped up and snorted: "Zhou Xuan, you really know very well in your heart, I don't think anything about you!" ”

He clearly knew that he had a wrong idea for the third prince, how could he abandon him from the beginning, and his refusal to marry Princess Jin Yao had nothing to do with her!

She jumped up suddenly, Zhou Xuan was startled, the medicine pestle in his hand almost fell to the ground, and then looked at the girl who pointed at her with a smug face, and couldn't help laughing: "You have a non-point thought about the third prince, why can't you also think about me at the same time?" Chen Danzhu, don't forget, you still have a lot of thoughts about that poor scholar Zhang Yao. ”

Zhang Yao, mentioning this name, Chen Danzhu's face softened a little, Zhang Yao is indeed different in her heart - but that difference is not a thought!

"Take a look." Zhou Xuan stared at her eyes and shouted angrily, "That's right!" You woman who messes with flowers and grass everywhere! ”

Chen Danzhu was angry and funny: "I want you to take care of it, anyway, I have nothing to do with you, you can leave quickly." ”

Zhou Xuan sneered: "I'm not the kind of person who swallows my anger, I won't give up on the chaos from the beginning to the end." ”

Chen Danzhu stretched out his hand and grabbed the medicine pestle: "Whatever you want, if you have the ability, you will always live here to see who is afraid of whom." ”

Qing Feng, who was squatting on the roof, smiled at the bamboo forest on the big tree next to him and said, "Look, how good we get along." ”

Zhu Lin rolled his eyes and ignored it, and there were a few birdsongs in his ears, and Mu Ran's expression changed slightly.

"What's wrong?" Qingfeng hurriedly asked, "What does your Xiaowei's code say?" ”

Zhulin said: "It's nothing, someone is looking for your son." ”

Qingfeng stood up and looked down the mountain: "Who-" He sighed before he could finish speaking, and then he rolled and jumped into the courtyard, startling the two people who were confronting each other with a medicine pestle.

"Childe." Qing Feng ignored Zhou Xuan's sinking face, and stepped forward to help him, "Go and lie down, Princess Jin Yao has come to visit her." ”

Zhou Xuan sighed, immediately leaned on Qingfeng and walked to the back, and said, "Chen Danzhu, you help me stop it." ”

Chen Danzhu held the medicine pestle and was stunned: "Why am I stopping?" ”

Zhou Xuan turned his head and raised his eyebrows: "Of course, it's because I refused to marry the princess for you!" With that, he strode Qingfeng into the backyard.

Chen Danzhu smashed the medicine pestle out, and he didn't even touch the corner of his clothes.

What!

Jin Yao is here? She was also a little flustered, although she had a clear conscience about this matter, but, after all, this matter was because of her-

Princess Jin Yao's refusal to marry caused a lot of ridicule, and passers-by in the teahouse said everything.

During this time, Princess Jin Yao did not come to look for her and hid in the deep palace.

And Zhou Xuan came here to recuperate again, which caused a lot of rumors.

Princess Jin Yao is coming over now, if she visits Zhou Xuan, it shows that she really has affection for Zhou Xuan - although Princess Jin Yao told her that she doesn't like Zhou Xuan, but the girl's heart is ever-changing.

What if Princess Jin Yao is reluctant to give up on Zhou Xuan.

But if Princess Jin Yao didn't come to visit Zhou Xuan, but asked her to question - misunderstood that she had a personal affair with Zhou Xuan and no longer regarded her as a friend, what should I do!

Zhou Xuan! Chen Danzhu stomped his feet, this shameless guy, obviously he caused it!

She was about to chase after Zhou Xuan and pull Zhou Xuan back, but Princess Jin Yao's voice had already sounded outside the door, "Danzhu!" ”

Chen Danzhu hurriedly motioned to Ah Tian to open the door, Ah Tian ran out, and was stopped by Chen Danzhu again.

Chen Danzhu responded loudly, and personally ran over quickly to open the door, Princess Jin Yao was wearing a skirt, stepping on high clogs, and standing at the door with an umbrella, seeing her smile.

Looking at Princess Jin Yao's bright smile, Chen Danzhu's flustered heart fell, even if she misunderstood her and complained about her, it was worth it to let such a smiling face live in the world.

"Why is the princess here?" "It's raining?" she asked. ”

Princess Jin Yao said: "Because of the rain, the queen mother didn't care about me, so I ran out secretly." ”

"The princess is visiting Marquis Zhou, right?" Chen Danzhu invited her in and took the initiative to say, "Hou Ye Zhou is in the backyard." ”

Princess Jin Yao stopped in the courtyard and looked at her: "I'm here to find you, Danzhu, do you like Zhou Xuan?" ”

Sure enough, I came to ask this, and it is the princess's character to go straight to the point like this, and there is no need to be tempted for the proud girl of the sky.

Chen Danzhu said softly: "Princess, Zhou Xuan's coming here to recuperate has nothing to do with me, it's that he has to come-"

Princess Jin Yao interrupted her: "Don't tell me this, I'm asking you, do you like Zhou Xuan?" ”

Princess Jin Yao was holding an umbrella, Chen Danzhu didn't take an umbrella when she went to open the door, and stood in the courtyard at this time, although it was a light rain, she quickly wet her hair and clothes.

Chen Danzhu looked at Princess Jin Yao and shook his head: "I don't like him, but his refusal to marry the princess is indeed related to me, he may have misunderstood-"

Before she finished her words, Princess Jin Yao smiled, reached out to pinch her nose, and tilted the umbrella over.

"Okay, I'm just asking you if you like him, you don't like him, and this matter has nothing to do with you." She laughed, "As for whether he likes you or something else, that's his business." ”

Is that so? Chen Danzhu looked at Princess Jin Yao, and didn't seem to know what to say.

"Also, even if you like him, you don't have to be sorry for me." Princess Jin Yao grabbed her arm, pulled her under the umbrella, and said in a low voice: "I came today to tell you that I don't like him, don't worry about me, if he hadn't refused to marry first, it would have been me who had been punished." ”

Chen Danzhu grabbed her hand: "Then let him be beaten to the board, the princess can't suffer this crime." ”

Ah Tian and Yan'er set up the hot tea and snacks, and took a cloak for the two of them and put it on their knees to shield them from the cold of the spring rain.

Princess Jin Yao leaned on a few and drank tea lazily: "I've been stuffy in the palace for a long time, it's really comfortable to come out, you Taoist temple, how good your mountain is, free and easy." ”

Chen Danzhu looked around, in fact, it wasn't, the mountain was a cage for her in that lifetime.

"Danju." Princess Jin Yao said again, "I'm serious, you don't dare not like Zhou Xuan because of me." ”

Chen Danzhu smiled: "No, it's not because of the princess." ”

Princess Jin Yao held the teacup and elongated her voice: "That's because of my third brother?" ”

The third prince, Chen Danzhu's eyes were gloomy for a moment, and he immediately smiled: "No, liking a person is your own business, and it has nothing to do with others." ”

Princess Jin Yao sat up straight: "You're right, but I think-" She examined Chen Danzhu's face, "Why are you a little unhappy?" ”

Chen Danzhu held the teacup, thought for a while, and asked, "Princess, is the Third Highness really okay?" ”

Princess Jin Yao smiled: "It turned out that I was worried about my third brother, don't worry, he is really well, Imperial Doctor Zhang has said it, Imperial Doctor Zhang is the best imperial doctor, and he has always been responsible for the third brother's condition and body, he knows best, and my third brother acts as usual on his own, he doesn't cough at all, and he is getting more and more energetic." ”

Chen Danzhu turned the teacup gently, the best imperial doctor is very powerful, compared to no one believes in her medical skills, she asked in a different way: "But I think His Highness is not very good, will it be dangerous to go out like this?" ”

Jin Yao understood this kind of child's concern, took her hand and whispered: "Actually, this trip to the Qi country, even if the third brother is not in good health, there will be no danger, although the road is long, but there are soldiers and horses to protect each other, and the country of Qi is no longer as arrogant and fierce as before, the king of Qi no longer has any ability to resist, but the king of Qi will thank heaven and earth to greet him, just to leave a life, as for the nobles of the Qi country, there is no need to worry, without the king of Qi as the leader, they are powerless to resist the court, for the common people, The third brother brought the temptation of taking the soldiers, and they only had the court in their eyes, so the third brother would not be in danger in the Qi country, that is, it would be harder than being a prince in the palace, he had to do a lot of things, and he had to personally control and implement strict investigations - do you think, will my third brother be afraid of hard work? ”

Chen Danzhu listened to her eloquently, and his eyes were full of admiration: "No, Your Royal Highness is the most afraid of hard work, princess, you know so much now, it's amazing." ”

Yes, now she no longer only cares about food, clothing and dressing, but also pays attention to national affairs and court affairs, and when she comes into contact, she realizes that this kind of thing is like a horn, which makes people full of strength and joy, Princess Jin Yao was a little proud, and smiled again: "This is what the iron-faced general and his father said, I heard it from the sidelines." ”

It was the iron-masked general who said it, Chen Danzhu smiled and groaned: "Then I'll rest assured." ”

Princess Jin Yao smiled: "Don't worry, if you are worried, write a letter to the third brother and ask your stepfather to send it to him, although the three armies were not mobilized, but your stepfather sent an elite escort." ”

Chen Danzhu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized who his stepfather was referring to, and laughed: "My stepfather actually refuses to recognize me now." ”

Princess Jin Yao's sleeves also laughed: "You don't care if you recognize him or not, just call him!" ”

The two talked some gossip, and Princess Jin Yao left without waiting for the rain to stop, after all, she ran out secretly.

"The queen mother doesn't know what she's been busy with lately, so she doesn't pay much attention to me." "But I didn't dare to come out for too long, and if I couldn't find me, I would be punished." ”

Chen Danzhu looked at her sympathetically, thought of Zhou Xuan again, and said busily: "Doesn't the princess see Zhou Xuan?" He ran away when he heard you coming, and he must have no face to see you. ”

This stinky man, obviously he did it, but he threw it on her head and let her deal with it alone, what if Princess Jin Yao really got angry and lost her temper? Although she is responsible for this matter and deserves to bear the wrath of Princess Jin Yao, Zhou Xuan should be even more so!

Seeing the anger on her face, Princess Jin Yao naturally knew what she meant, held her hand and smiled again: "I don't see him, don't be angry, if he is here, greet me for you, I will be even more angry." ”

"Why?" Chen Danzhu was a little puzzled.

Princess Jin Yao smiled: "I have made it very clear to him, if he misunderstands that I am here to provoke because I came to the door, then he has really offended me, it is a humiliation to me Jin Yao, I will not give up!" ”

When her words fell, Chen Danzhu reached out and hugged her, muttering to herself: "Princess, then you are angry with me, I have misunderstood you." ”

Princess Jin Yao patted her head angrily and funny: "Chen Danzhu, how can you make me angry like this, are you admitting your mistake?" ”

Shouldn't you kneel down to admit your mistake to the princess? She is clearly coquettish.

Chen Danzhu hugged her and smiled, buried his head in her shoulder, and said in a muffled voice: "It's a mistake, I'm embarrassed to look at your face." ”

Princess Jin Yao smiled and pinched her waist: "You are embarrassed to wipe your snot and tears on my clothes, get up quickly." ”

Chen Danzhu smiled and dodged away, Princess Jin Yao looked at the girl's ruddy eyes, shook her head and smiled: "Danzhu, I think Ah Xuan really likes you." ”

Chen Danzhu pouted.

"I grew up with him, and his temper, what he liked, was about the same as mine." Princess Jin Yao reached out and pinched Chen Dan's vermilion face, "I like you, how can he not like you?" ”

With that, he put up his umbrella and walked out with a smile.

Chen Danzhu stretched out his hand to cover his face and was stunned, princess, in fact, maybe Zhou Xuan is not what you are familiar with.

After she sent Princess Jin Yao back, Zhou Xuan appeared under the porch again, reclining on the cushion on which she and Princess Jin Yao had sat before.

Chen Danzhu wanted to scold him for being a coward, but when he thought of what Princess Jin Yao said, he swallowed it back and decided not to show him a look.

But Zhou Xuan pulled his face, looking like he wanted to show her face.

"Chen Danzhu, you coward." He said, "Why don't you dare admit to the princess that you like me?" ”

Chen Danzhu snorted: "Because I don't like you." ”

Zhou Xuan asked coldly: "You don't like me, why did you force me to swear not to marry the princess?" ”

He hasn't asked this again these days, but today he is stimulated to ask again? Chen Danzhu opened his mouth, that's because in your eyes, the princess is the daughter of your father's enemy, how can you love her.

But what did she say about this reason?

"I just don't think you're the right fit." She said, "The princess said she didn't like you. ”

Zhou Xuan smiled: "That's because I didn't go to please the princess, believe it or not, if I put my heart into it, the princess will definitely like me." ”

Is that so? In that last life, did he try his best to please the princess? Chen Danzhu was slightly distracted.

"Chen Danzhu."

Zhou Xuan's voice suddenly approached, and Chen Danzhu came back to his senses and saw that he had already gotten up and stood in front of him.

"Why do you think I and Princess Jin Yao are not suitable?" He stood very close, staring at her with a pair of eyes as deep as a deep pool, "Chen Danzhu, do you know something?" ”

He finally asked the question.

Chen Danzhu took a step back.
