"Don't worry, I'll be cautious, and besides, I'm worried about it." Chu Junlan smiled and comforted Xiao Xu.

Xiao Xu smiled, but was still a little worried.

Chu Junlan is an independent-minded and assertive woman, he forgot about her, and he has always felt guilty, because he feels that he has no position to interfere too much in many things. Just like now, he wanted to stop Chu Junlan, but in the end he only nodded.

"Don't worry, I'll arrange it for you, you just have to rest assured."

Chu Junlan couldn't help pinching Xiao Xu's face: "I know, we have the best Xuxu." ”

Xiao Xu's face was slightly hot, but he didn't avoid Chu Junlan's touch, and even lowered his head slightly to match Chu Junlan's height, and rubbed his cheek in her palm with affection.

Chu Junlan saw that he was like a cat, a person who was so cold outside on weekdays, but he showed such a soft side in front of her, even if he lost his memories of the past, he still treated her as before. Chu Junlan was in a good mood, and unceremoniously touched a few more handfuls.

Chu Junlan and Xiao Xu got together and chatted for a while, until someone from the top of the peak urged the two to say goodbye.

In the early morning of the next day, Chu Junlan went to commute to Princess Zhang and Princess Cai.

Princess Zhang guarded the stupid Xiao Yunpeng and refused to see her, and Princess Cai said that she couldn't get out of bed with a headache and didn't see her.

Chu Junlan shrugged, she was happy to be quiet.

Chu Junlan told Ziyuan and Ziyan: "I'm not at home, don't move around at will, Ziyuan will go to serve Concubine Yu later, if Concubine Yu asks, she will only say that I have something to do in business and go out to be busy." Zi Yan is at home, close the courtyard door, and leave a guard in the back room, if you encounter any trouble, don't be hard, it's serious to protect yourself first. ”

"I know, the princess should be careful when she goes out, the slaves and maids are guarding at home, and it will be fine."

Chu Junlan smiled: "That's good, you go to the back room and tell Zhang Fan, so that he is ready to go out with me." ”

"Yes." Zi Yan saluted and turned to speak.

Who knew that the carriage of the palace had not yet been prepared, and a servant woman came from outside to report to Jingxuan.

"Back to the princess, a grandmother came outside, saying that Mrs. Hanmei ordered her to call."

Chu Junlan was puzzled, could it be that today's banquet has changed?

Chu Junlan took Zhang Fan to the door quickly, but saw a Zhulun canopy carriage parked in front of the mansion, and the servant woman who came to deliver the post yesterday saw her and immediately saluted.

"Say hello to the princess."

"Mama is exempt, but what does Mrs. Hanmei command?"

The servant woman smiled and said, "Our lady Hanmei knows that the princess is going to the banquet, so she specially prepared a carriage and a horse, and ordered the slave and maid to pick you up." ”

Chu Junlan raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the servant woman with a smile: "Oh? ”

Mrs. Hanmei has a detached status, has always been cold and distant from people, and does not like to be lively. It was already strange for her to go out to Hongfeng Mountain for a banquet, but now she is more enthusiastic and ordered someone to pick her up, which is really not in line with Mrs. Hanmei's usual style.

The servant woman smiled, and her flexible eyes looked at Chu Junlan's expression: "Princess, let's leave here?" ”

Chu Junlan suddenly smiled freely, his smile was as bright as the sun: "It's okay, since it is Mrs. Hanmei's kindness, it's not good to delay the hour." Lady Hanmei sent you to pick me up? Didn't you say I wasn't allowed to bring an entourage? ”

The servant woman smiled dryly: "Where is it, there are more people, and only Mrs. Hanmei likes it." ”

Chu Junlan smiled and nodded, jumped into the carriage, and sat on a small pestle covered with a dark blue muslin mattress.

Zhang Fan and the servant woman sat on the chariot one on the other and the other on the right.

The princess was not followed by a maidservant but an entourage, and the servant woman felt very strange, but Chu Junlan had a noble status and had always acted unexpectedly, and the servant woman did not dare to ask more questions, just thinking that it would be considered an errand if she took the person properly, she seriously caught up with the carriage.

The wheels creaked across the ground, the horses' hooves kicked, the bells jingled, and the speed gradually increased as the carriage staggered out of the capital.

Chu Junlan lifted the corner of the window screen, looked at the rapidly regressing scenery, and saw that he was getting closer and closer to Red Maple Mountain, and his heart became more and more vigilant.

She didn't know much about Mrs. Hanmei, but when she went out this time, she always had a strange feeling.

The carriage slowly stopped on the side of the road under the Red Maple Mountain, and the servant woman jumped off the wheel, put down a black lacquered wooden bench, and said with a smile: "Princess, please." ”

Chu Junlan took the servant's hand and got out of the car, raising his eyes to look around.

The blue sky is high, the emerald green is stacked, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and you can already see the roof of the red maple mountain village in the middle of the mountainside.

Chu Junlan walked up the steps quickly.

Zhang Fan and the servant woman followed behind Chu Junlan left and right.

Chu Junlan has excellent physical strength, Zhang Fan also has kung fu on his body, and when he came to Zhuangzi, Chu Junlan's face was not red or panting, but the servant woman was tired and panting like a cow, and her face was flushed.

"Princess Shizi, later, the slave and maid will go to pass it on."

The servant woman curtsied and bowed, and before she had time to catch her breath, she walked quickly to the village.

But after a while, I saw a middle-aged man walking towards me.

The man was tall and sturdy, wearing a royal blue straight jacket, with a high nose and thick eyebrows, and he first showed a three-point smile when he saw someone, and his temperament was mild, which made people look amiable.

"The princess." Before he could get closer, the man bowed his hand and saluted, "The princess admires the light, Mrs. Hanmei is very happy, please come in." ”

Chu Junlan nodded with a smile and said, "Dare to ask what you call it?" ”

"Under the surname Ge, he is the steward of Mrs. Hanmei's side."

Chu Junlan smiled and said: "It turned out to be Steward Ge, the little girl has something to inquire about, I wonder if Steward Ge can solve the puzzle?" ”

"The princess only commands, and she must know everything below."

Chu Junlan saw that the surrounding forests and flowers were far away, so he chose an open place and stopped: "Take me and I won't be polite to you." Dare to ask the steward, since today is a banquet held by Mrs. Hanmei, why haven't you seen the rest of the guests? ”

Steward Ge smiled and said, "You don't know, you came earlier, and the one who came before you had already entered Zhuangzi." ”

"I see, so those guys didn't come in a carriage? When I was just down the hill, I didn't see any signs of carriages on the ground. ”

Steward Ge looked at Chu Junlan's bright eyes that seemed to know everything, and said with a smile: "The weather is dry, and it is difficult to leave a trace."

"Yes, the weather is dry, and the autumn tiger is still powerful, I think we should not delay each other's time. If Steward Ge has anything to say, don't be blunt. I'm sure Mrs. Hanmei will also pay attention to your efficiency, what do you say? ”

Steward Ge's face changed when he was choked by Chu Junlan's words, and he looked at Chu Junlan carefully, and saw that she only brought an entourage and did not have a blade on her body, so she became a little more determined in her heart, and she didn't bother to pretend to have a smile on her face.

"In that case, let's open the skylight and say something. Actually, I invited you here today, just to discuss a business with you. ”
