Chapter 15 Intimacy
The Chen family's mansion covers a wide area, which shows how beautiful the emperor was back then, and he returned to his hometown.
Today's Chen family, with a large population, lives in this Chen house, and uses the courtyard very thoroughly, and there is not a single idle courtyard.
"The princess's courtyard is here, the prince... The prince is more aggrieved, let's live in Xuemei Xuan temporarily, it's a little smaller, but it's more elegant, hehe......"
Guo, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family, rubbed her hands uneasily, looked at the mother and son in the brocade crown in front of her, and had a flattering smile on her face.
"Thank you sister-in-law for your troubled arrangement, this courtyard is my boudoir when I was not married, and now that the times have changed, I am very satisfied to be able to live back!"
Chen Yan looked at the small courtyard in front of her with a moving face, and she was not dissatisfied at all with being neglected.
Song Zhan knew that his mother was trapped in memories again, so he didn't bother much, and took Su Yu to the residence arranged by the Chen family.
Xuemei Xuan is really small, I heard that because it is next to the plum garden, it was built by the emperor himself to enjoy the plum paintings.
Now that he has packed it out for his own residence, Song Zhan, who is tall and long-legged, feels that it is difficult to turn around.
"The prince wants to rest, go down to the big kitchen and take a look."
Su Yu is Song Zhan's personal guard, and Song Zhan doesn't like servant girls to serve closely, so Su Yu is in charge of every day.
Looking at the sky, there was still some time before dinner, so Song Zhan put his clothes on his clothes and lay down to rest.
Su Yu packed his belongings, pushed open the door of the house and prepared to go to the big kitchen, and just walked to the courtyard gate, he saw Mingyue coming over with a tray.
Su Yu simply didn't leave, just stood at the gate of the courtyard and waited for Mingyue to approach.
"Brother Su." Mingyue curtsied with the tray, and in Su Yu's cold gaze, Ying Ying smiled, "Brother Su is going out?" ”
Su Yu glanced at the tray in Mingyue's hand and asked the other party with his eyes.
Mingyue was accustomed to the cold words of Shizi's personal guard, and smiled as she uncovered the cotton towel on the tray.
"The princess ordered me to bring some snacks and tea to the prince."
Looking at some familiar dim sum on the plate, Su Yu turned sideways and let Mingyue enter Xuemei Xuan.
Strode back to the front of the house, raised his hand and tapped twice.
"Son, the princess ordered someone to send something."
"Come in."
Hearing the slightly hoarse voice in the house, Mingyue's face turned slightly red, lowered her head and respectfully lifted the tray and walked into the house.
The light in the house was dim, and she suddenly walked from the outside into the indoor, Mingyue subconsciously squinted, until she got used to the light in the house, and then she saw the furnishings in the house clearly.
Xue Meixuan is really small, the furnishings can only be regarded as elegant, and the delicacy is insufficient, and the prince is really wronged.
However, it is not easy for the Chen family's current situation to be cleaned up like this.
Placing the tray on the table, Mingyue uncovered the cotton towel with a slight hand.
Song Zhan was still sitting on the bed at this time, and he could reach the things on the table with his hand.
"Shizi, the mother ordered the slave maid to send you some refreshments, and the slave maid will serve you."
"No, you can go back."
"Huh?"
"What, don't you understand?"
"The slave and the maid don't dare, and the slave and the maid retreat."
Mingyue wanted to take the opportunity to get close to Song Zhan, but she was categorically refused, and her face was ashamed.
lowered his head to cover his eyes full of unwillingness, but he could only helplessly withdraw from the house.
Mingyue quietly raised her eyes to look at Song Zhan before closing the door of the house, and saw that he was looking down and rubbing the jade pendant on his waist, and he didn't mean to look up at himself at all, and left disappointed.
As soon as Mingyue left, the house fell silent again.
Song Zhan looked at the pastries on the table fixedly, these pastries were prepared by Tongfu.
The crust is transparent, the filling is sweet and delicious, and those who don't like sweets can also eat three or four pieces, the shape is very special, and the one in front of it is the shape of a maple leaf.
Looking at the pastries, Song Zhan didn't do it for a long time. The figure of the woman standing by the window flashed in her mind, obviously a little girl who had not yet reached her time, but in terms of grace and resourcefulness, she was better than the thousands of girls she had seen.
"Knock knock—"
"Who!"
Song Zhan was immersed in his thoughts, and he didn't even notice that someone had entered Xuemei Xuan.
Secretly surprised by his own negligence, his body has subconsciously made an offensive and defensive posture, and the breath of the person outside the door is unfamiliar, not Su Yu.
This time he went south, although he didn't bring any of the secret guards of the Huai Wangfu, but it was also a peaceful journey, and Song Zhan was a little unfamiliar with such a vigilant state.
After leaving the capital for more than a month, he was so lax, Song Zhan felt that it should not be.
"Cousin, dinner has been prepared earlier, and I... I'm here to tell my cousin on behalf of my mother. ”
Cousin?!
Song Zhanying's slender sword eyebrows raised in surprise, if the person outside the door called his cousin, it should be the young lady of the Chen family, as for which one it is, you have to open the door to see.
It's really that there are too many relatives of the Chen family, and I can't recognize them all, especially when I didn't pay attention to a bunch of women, so I just glanced at them in a hurry.
The door was pushed open from the inside, and the woman in pink standing under the eaves stood there with a shy face, her hands stirring unconsciously.
Looking at the boots that appeared in his sight, sweet tears of joy sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
The black satin boots are embroidered with a silver four-clawed dragon pattern, which is a delicate embroidery that he has never seen before, and it shows the supreme glory.
Although I know that my aunt is a first-class princess, but the family has become more and more difficult over the years, and I don't see that princess and aunt helping, I used to ask why, since I was severely reprimanded by my father a few times, I didn't mention this princess aunt.
Now that my aunt has said that the Chen family will get better and better in the future, does that mean that she will also enjoy endless glory and wealth like those young ladies in dramas?
Song Zhan looked at the woman in front of him who only reached his chest, and was speechless for a while, as if the little girl of the Tong family was so tall, she was not yet in time, she should be able to grow taller, right?
"Ahem......"
"Cousin, cousin, my name is Chen Peiwen, it's yours... It's your cousin. ”
Chen Peiwen felt that her face was getting hotter and hotter, and she was so ashamed that she didn't dare to raise her head. Feeling the shallow breathing above her head, Chen Peiwen felt her heart beating like thunder, and subconsciously raised her hand to press the towering chest.
"Slut ......"
Mingyue, who was hiding in the dark, kneaded and pulled the handkerchief in her hand, and soon scrapped the hook silk of the delicate silk handkerchief.
Mingyue, who was going back to the princess, suddenly saw the pink figure, hesitated for a moment, and decided to hide aside to see who was looking for Shizi.
Unexpectedly, seeing such a scene, his eyes were full of anger, and he stared straight at Chen Peiwen's hand on the tower, eager to burn her.
Cousin cousin, this damn cousin cousin, the princess has just walked around with her mother's family, and she pounced on the world so quickly?!
Mingyue gritted her teeth hatefully, and sweat appeared on her forehead in a hurry. just ended an official lady, and now there is a cousin, which is really more difficult than the other.
"You ......."
"Your Highness! His Royal Highness the Prince ......" Mingyue suddenly appeared at the gate of Xue Meixuan's courtyard, looking out of breath, "Your Royal Highness, the slave maid was just about to return to the princess's courtyard to resume her life, and I heard that dinner was ready, and the slave maid came to ask His Royal Highness to show it." I don't know if His Royal Highness the Prince of the World went to the front hall to have a meal together, or if the slave maid brought the meal to Xuemei Xuan, and His Royal Highness the Prince ate alone. ”
Mingyue smoothed her breath and slightly accentuated the bite on the single word.
Looking at Chen Peiwen's sweeping gaze, she raised the corners of her mouth in protest.
His Royal Highness the Prince really lived up to expectations, saying that he was tired from the journey, so he would not go to the front hall tonight, and would have dinner alone in Xuemei Xuan.
Song Zhan watched Mingyue and Chen Peiwen leave Xuemei Xuan one after the other, the incense of the two different smells dispersed, and his nose was finally relieved.
Nowadays, women love incense, and there was no way to avoid going to the mother's courtyard every day to ask for peace, and it has been much easier to go out during this time.
I didn't expect to live in Chen's house this time, and I was going to start suffering again, especially this Chen Peiwen, the incense smoked on her body was probably not precious, and it smelled a little rushy, and she endured it for a long time before she could resist the urge to sneeze.
I unconsciously recalled the night when I visited the Hanlian Garden, as if I didn't smell any strange smell in the house, but there was a fragrance of lost herbs.
Song Zhan, who unconsciously fell into his memories again, was awakened by the sound of birds fluttering their wings and flying from the branches, and found that he was still standing under the corridor, and the two women had long since disappeared.
Song Zhan felt that he was sick, and today was the third time in a day that he recalled that little girl, it was too unbelievable!
Mingyue and Chen Peiwen, who left Xuemei Xuan one after the other, were surprisingly alert to each other in their hearts.
Mingyue walked in front of Chen Peiwen, and saw that she had reached a fork in the road, Mingyue wanted to go back to the princess's courtyard, and Chen Peiwen couldn't help but call her.
Mingyue heard the shouts behind her, and raised the corners of her lips proudly, feeling slightly better, and feeling in a good mood like drinking the high-quality honey water of the Dongbao shop in the capital.
Slowly turning around and curtsied, the smug look on his face had dissipated, replaced by a look of respect, but his lowered eyes were full of disdain.
"I don't know what Miss Chen has to call the slave maid?"
"What's your name?"
"The slave Mingyue is the first-class maid in front of the princess."
"Oh, but a maid dares to interject me talking to my cousin!"
Mingyue heard this undisguised hostile reprimand, raised her head and looked straight at Chen Peiwen.
Chen Peiwen was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect a slave to dare to look at her like this, and just wanted to reprimand again, but she was scolded back.
"Mingyue kindly reminded Miss Chen, you should call His Royal Highness the Prince, not your cousin."
"You.... His Royal Highness is my cousin, we are cousins and sisters, you are so rude, aren't you afraid that I will tell my aunt and let her punish you?! ”
is obviously a maid, and the clothes on her body are better than herself, Chen Peiwen felt deeply ashamed, but she didn't want to lose her prestige in front of a maid, so she simply raised her chin and pretended to be arrogant.
"Hehe......" Mingyue couldn't help laughing, glanced up and down at Chen Peiwen with sympathetic eyes, and spoke slowly, her tone full of disdain, "Miss Chen is wrong again, you should call the princess Niangniang, not the aunt." Mingyue heard that Miss Chen's grandfather was an emperor, but she didn't expect Miss Chen's rules to be so bad, I don't know where to find the upbringing mother who taught the girls the rules in the house, I suggest you hurry up and change it, it's too much to get on the table. ”
"You! You are presumptuous! The princess is my aunt, and the prince is my cousin, how dare you talk to me like this! I'm going to tell my aunt right now, and see if I don't tear your mouth apart later!" ”
Chen Peiwen was so angry that she stretched out her hand and pointed at Mingyue's nose and ran away after scolding, and the direction was Princess Chen Yan's courtyard.
Mingyue looked at Chen Peiwen who ran away and pursed her lips disdainfully. An unruly woman from a small family, even if she climbs into a relative like the princess, she still can't change the vulgarity in her background.
Besides, people are separated from each other, even if they are blood relatives, they have not been in contact for so many years, how can they hurt the hearts of people who have followed them for many years for the sake of a little niece they have met for the first time.
Mingyue was sure that Chen Peiwen had to swallow this stuffy loss today, raised her hand and stroked her sideburns, and Shi Shiran walked back.
