Chapter 304: Just around the corner
It seems to be hot in the blink of an eye.
The emperor sat in the hall and shook it with a fan.
Princess Jin Yao walked in and saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab it: "I'll make a fan for my father." ”
The emperor let her take it and asked, "What do you ask of me?" ”
"Can't my daughter do her filial piety?" Princess Jin Yao was disgusted and grinned again, "But my daughter wants to invite a few friends to sit in my palace, and I hope that my father will allow it." ”
The emperor said, "Isn't it better for you to go out and play?" ”
The queen was imprisoned in the cold palace, and Concubine Xian presided over the harem, she has always been kind and never nosy, and Princess Jin Yao is now very free to go in and out.
Princess Jin Yao sat down on the side, picked up the fan and continued to shake it gently: "The queen and the fifth brother just had an accident, how can I go around to play?" ”
At the mention of these two people, the emperor's face was a little ugly, and a little imperceptible annoyance: "Why, who dares to show you a face?" If something happens to them, will my other children be unsightly? ”
Although the truth about the punishment of the five princes and the queen is hidden, it can't be hidden from the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and I don't know how many true and false royal secrets are circulating outside.
"How so." Princess Jin Yao said, "I am reluctant to my father, I don't want to go out to play at all, and I don't feel that it is fun outside, I just want to accompany my father at home." ”
The emperor smiled: "Father doesn't want you to live at home as an old girl for the rest of your life. ”
Thinking of this, I was angry again, because of Zhou Xuan, Princess Jin Yao's marriage was gone.
"Father, I want to play in the palace now." Princess Jin Yao shook the emperor's arm, and her eyebrows fluttered and proposed, "I'll let Miss Danzhu come in, how about we play with the horn for my father?" ”
Chen Danzhu! The emperor snorted again in his heart, but Chen Danzhu has been very honest recently, and he has not been torn apart with Zhou Xuan anymore, nor has he run to the palace again.
"Why do you like to play with her?" The emperor complained, "There are so many noble ladies in the capital. ”
Princess Jin Yao said: "Because she is a different noble lady from a different family." With that, he shook the emperor's arm and pleaded.
The emperor was shaken and wanted to laugh and was sad, alas, the children have grown up and are all separated, while the daughter has not grown up, enjoy some more family fun.
"Okay, I agreed, I agreed." The emperor smiled, "Don't shake it, it's all gone." ”
Princess Jin Yao smiled happily, and asked with concern: "Father, what's wrong with you?" What's wrong with the eye? ”
The emperor stretched out his hand and gently pressed his eyebrows: "It's okay, it's just a little tired, and my eyes are sour." ”
Princess Jin Yao urged the imperial doctor, and the emperor smiled: "I've seen it, Jin Zhong can't wait to let the imperial doctor come to consult three times a day." ”
Princess Jin Yao was relieved at this time, and proposed: "When Miss Danzhu comes, let her show her father, Miss Danzhu's medical skills are also very good." ”
The emperor waved his hand angrily: "Miss Danzhu rarely appears in front of me, and I won't get sick." ”
Princess Jin Yao smiled and replied.
Of course, she knew that the emperor was in a bad mood now, and when she saw Chen Danzhu, she would definitely pick her nose and eyes.
Chen Danzhu didn't want to see the emperor either, and all kinds of incidents happened one after another, and it was not something she could unscrupulously interfere in.
Princess Jin Yao smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, if you don't go to see my father, I'm just too bored, please come and talk to me." ”
In addition to Chen Danzhu, Princess Jin Yao also invited Liu Wei and Li Lian.
"There's a lot to do at the palace." Chen Danzhu smiled, "I'll take the princess to play." ”
The three of them were all amused by her, and Chen Danzhu, the former noble daughter of Wu, was also very familiar with the palace.
"It's not all familiar, at that time, there were few palaces, and occasionally my sister and I were in the most remote places, and there were a lot of people, lively and beautiful places rarely went, but many remote places were also beautiful." Chen Danzhu said with a smile, and sure enough, he walked ahead, "Everyone come with me, there is a place, the rockeries are messy, we can play hide and seek." ”
It's not a child playing hide and seek, Liu Wei and Princess Jin Yao both laughed, but Li Lian was very interested.
"I really didn't play when I was a child, and the nurses and maids at home were all in charge." She smiled and said, "When I came to the princess today, the nurses and maids didn't dare to care about me." ”
She said and looked behind her, there were not many maidservants who came to the palace, and they were all well-behaved far behind at this time.
Liu Wei and Princess Jin Yao were also interested in what she said, and followed with a smile.
Chen Danzhu walked east and west in the imperial garden, and suddenly a woman walked in front of her, she walked very slowly, swaying gently like a flower in the garden in early summer.
Chen Danzhu stopped.
The woman had already seen her, and took the first step to give a salute: "Miss Danzhu." ”
Chen Danzhu returned the half-salute: "It's you." ”
Princess Jin Yao, Li Lian, and Liu Wei also followed up and looked at this woman.
"Ning Ning." Princess Jin Yao said, looking left and right back and forth, "Has the third brother come to the garden?" ”
There is no figure of the three princes in front of and behind.
Ning Ning said: "The Third Highness is busy, and the slave maid will give him the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor." ”
She held up a porcelain vase in her hand and showed it to Princess Jin Yao.
Princess Jin Yao smiled: "Then you go and tell the third brother that you will come to play with us when you are done." ”
When she said this, she glanced at Chen Danzhu, who smiled and did not speak.
Ning Ning replied and walked past them with her head down.
Princess Jin Yao held Chen Danzhu's hand: "I can see the third brother in a while, after the third brother comes back, he is injured and busy, and we don't dare to disturb it." ”
Chen Danzhu said: "Don't disturb the Third Highness, I already know that he is fine." Holding Princess Jin Yao forward, he didn't continue the topic, "Come on, let's play here." ”
Ning Ning stopped, looked back, the figures of the women were far away, she retracted her gaze and did not leave the imperial garden, but went straight forward, until the southeast corner, there is a lake here, a small pavilion in the lake, and I saw the figure of a young man sitting in it from a distance.
"Got something?" Sensing that someone was approaching, the third prince did not raise his head, and raised his other hand while reading the letter and asking at the same time.
Ning Ning took it in response, put the porcelain bottle in the palm of the third prince's hand, and the third prince opened the porcelain bottle and poured out a pill to eat, and never left the table.
Ning Ning took a step back and stood quietly aside, silent.
.....
.....
After playing hide and seek, and having used the imperial meal in the imperial garden, Princess Jin Yao's banquet came to an end, but the third prince never came.
"Looks really busy." Princess Jin Yao muttered, leaned over and asked Chen Danzhu, who was sitting next to her, "Let's go find the third brother, shall we?" I'm here, so I want to see you. ”
Chen Danzhu said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry this time, Your Highness is so busy, I don't want to bother, lest I be scolded by Your Majesty again." ”
Princess Jin Yao smiled: "You are still afraid that Your Majesty will scold you." ”
"I'm not afraid that Your Majesty will scold me." Chen Danzhu said, "Your Majesty is definitely in a bad mood now, I don't want to make Your Majesty even more unhappy." ”
Princess Jin Yao laughed: "You should tell Your Majesty this, he will definitely be reluctant to scold you when he hears it." Having said that, he didn't force Chen Danzhu to stay anymore, and stood at the gate of the palace to watch the three of them leave.
Accompanied by the palace maid, the three of them walked side by side to the outside of the palace, and Liu Wei and Li Lian discussed how to invite the princess back.
"Forget it at this point." Chen Danzhu reminded them, "Wait until the matter of the five princes and the queen is silent for a few days." ”
The two nodded understandingly, and suddenly saw Chen Danzhu standing still, and there were also eunuchs running in front of them, waving at them, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down." "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down."
Prince, Liu Wei, Li Lian, Chen Danzhu, and the three of them were busy standing on the side of the road to avoid it, and they saw several eunuchs walking on the palace road with their shoulders raised, and the young man sitting on them was richly dressed, and his face was very similar to that of the emperor.
Sensing the sight here, the prince looked over, and Chen Danzhu hurriedly lowered his head.
"His Royal Highness the Prince." Princess Jin Yao's palace maid stepped forward to give a salute, "This is a guest invited by the princess." ”
Chen Danzhu and the three of them saluted together: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
The prince nodded to them: "No need to be polite. "Withdraw your gaze and ignore it.
But Chen Danzhu still felt that there was a gaze falling on her, she subconsciously raised her head, and a woman standing next to the prince's shoulder broke into the sight.
This woman is about twenty, with a delicate body, beautiful and charming eyebrows.
Seeing Chen Danzhu looking over, she not only did not avoid it, but pursed her lips and smiled.
This is? Chen Danzhu looked at her, the woman didn't speak, and withdrew her gaze to follow the prince's shoulder.
"Miss Danju." The palace maid called softly. "Let's go."
Chen Danzhu was just about to turn around, when he heard the voice of a woman who hadn't gone far away.
"Your Highness." Her voice was low and delicate, "That's Miss Danzhu." ”
Chen Danzhu's body suddenly stood up like thunder.
The prince turned his head from his shoulder, and seemed to glance at her curiously, then withdrew his gaze and did not care, the woman smiled at her again, raised her hand and gently swiped it on the side of her neck, and her cherry lips opened silently.
Chen Danzhu suddenly returned to the small courtyard before, her neck was cold, and she was close to the dagger of the maid.
"Kill her."
The female voice behind the bead curtain said.
It's her! Chen Danzhu's eyes instantly dyed red, and this time, she finally saw her appearance clearly!
