Chapter 17: A Chance Encounter with the Prince

May 11th, today is Chen Yuxi's birthday, Luo Wushuang, who received the invitation early, has already washed up and dressed up and is ready to leave for Chen's mansion. There are also some good friends who play with Chen Yuxi on weekdays, and it can be said that today's Chen Mansion is very lively.

The Chen Mansion is one of the three major families in Beijing, and it is also very prestigious in the capital, and the most commendable thing is that the Chen family only marries one person, which seems to have been passed down from generation to generation.

Because of Chen Yuxi's birthday, many women also took the opportunity to see the young master of the Chen Mansion, and at the same time hoped to be favored by him.

Luo Wushuang got out of the car and entered the Chen Mansion, and at this time there were already a lot of people gathered, and several young ladies were talking and laughing around, which was very lively and harmonious.

went straight to a table and sat down, Xiaolan stood beside Wushuang and looked around, before hearing him on the ark that her sister was Chen Yuxi, that is the one who met Miss, I don't know if he will appear today?

Under the careful look, Chen's house is a lot wider, the pavilions are interspersed, the pavilions are the majority, the scattered distribution, the flowers and trees on both sides of the empty space are in full bloom, the middle straight road can be passed, the flowers in this courtyard are in full bloom in all seasons, and the spring is pleasant.

Chen Yuxi is wearing a crimson wide-sleeved fairy skirt, dark moire, the cuffs hit the black edges, the walking skirt moves with the wind, the jade white face, embellished with green gemstone forehead pendants, the red cheeks of the sunset are bewildering, the jade neck is slender, and it is as elegant as a noble white swan.

Everyone flocked to Chen Yuxi and praised him, Chen Yuxi coped with it and let them all take their seats, she saw Luo Wushuang at a prescription table, walked over, and sat next to Wushuang.

"Wushuang, you're here." Chen Yuxi smiled slightly, and took Luo Wushuang's hand intimately.

"Well, Yuxi, this is a gift I prepared for you." Wushuang handed out a box and gave it to Chen Yuxi.

"Wow, thank you, Wushuang." Chen Yuxi didn't expect a big box.

"It's good if you're happy, Yuxi is so beautiful today."

"No, Wushuang is the best-looking." Chen Yuxi rarely showed a shy appearance, just like the scene when the two met for the first time.

"Wushuang, we went out fishing together in the afternoon, how about we go camping outside?"

"Okay, we can get a barbecue."

"What is barbecue?"

"It's just baking the ingredients on an iron rack, brushing them with oil, and dipping them in sauce, but it's delicious." Xiaolan opened her mouth to explain.

Chen Yuxi looked at the cheerful and generous maid in front of her, and felt that she was still likable, seeing that she was completely different from the clothes of other maids, even the hair accessories were good, she recognized that her clothes were from the handiwork of the city, and she thought that she was special in Luo Wushuang's eyes.

"Haha, then wouldn't I have a good mouth."

"What's the mouth?" A warm voice came.

A white dress, dark fire patterns at the hem, a ring around the waist tinkling with walking, black hair in a full bundle, and a white jade hair crown is worn by a black hairpin and fixed on the top of the hair.

The flowers bloom on the mo, and the son is like jade.

What a gentle and jade-like son-in-law. The girls present are estimated to have their hearts rippling, no matter how you look at such a man, it makes people's hearts move, Xiaolan felt that her heart was beating a little fast, so fast that she couldn't control it, she bowed her head in a panic.

"Brother, you're here." When Chen Yuxi saw Chen Chen coming, he immediately greeted him and let Chen Chen enter the seat. His arrival made many girls in the boudoir want to get the moon first near the water, so they hurriedly stepped forward and sat down at Luo Wushuang's table.

Chen Chen looked at Xiao Lan who was bowing her head behind Luo Wushuang, and saw that she was dressed very chic today. Thin shoulders, reddish earrings, a faintly visible white neck, and light blue fungus lace can't hide the spring color.

"Ahem." Wushuang coughed lightly, reminding Chen Chen's snooping. Could it be that he is interested in Xiaolan.

Chen Chen was slightly embarrassed, withdrew his gaze, looked at Wushuang and said, "It's been a long time, Wushuang, I don't know if it's okay lately." ”

"Everything is fine, it's really gratifying to hear Yuxi say that you are already a courtier in the palace."

"No, brother, I'll be camping with Wushuang this afternoon, you can go with us."

"Hmm."

The ladies who sat down quickly, seeing that they were chatting a little engaged, a woman in yellow interrupted: "Chen Gongzi, I have heard that you are Wen Taowu strategy, and the little woman admires it very much, I don't know if I can have the honor to camp with you." ”

"The Chu Mansion has always been strict, and the young lady is very delicate and delicate, so it's better to play less."

The woman in yellow had a stiff face, she didn't expect Chen Chen to say this.

"Chen Gongzi, this is a sachet I embroidered by hand, I hope you like it." The woman in pink has a delicate face, and her tenderness is pitiful.

"Thank you for the kindness of the girl, I am allergic to the aroma, I can't accept it."

The pink woman's face was embarrassed, and she lowered her head and sighed, "It's that I didn't think it through." ”

"Okay, let's go see the scenery in the courtyard and taste tea for a while." Chen Yuxi said happily, playing a round and embarrassing one side.

In a dilapidated inn on the outskirts of the city, a man with a white cloth wrapped around his chest with his half-exposed upper body had a cold and handsome face, and he reached out and pulled the clothes hanging next to him and wrapped them around his body, all his movements were smooth.

"Your Highness, who do you say will send the killer this time?"

"You might as well guess."

"The third prince has always been eyeing the throne, and he has never stopped persecuting His Majesty, and this time it is probably from him." The man in black analyzed.

"Do you think this killer is any different from usual?"

"The subordinates are stupid, they didn't find anything wrong, the only thing is that they are much more powerful than the previous ones, and they are not at the same level as before."

"Well, these people are not sent by the Three Princes, he doesn't have a big hand, those killers have a dagger tattoo on their necks, it should be an organization, I don't know what organization it is, I'm afraid some people can't bear it this time."

"Well, what are your Majesty's plans?"

"It's not far from Beijing, take a rest first, my brothers have worked hard, this time I have suffered heavy losses, go back to comfort my brothers' families, others can disperse and go back, and we will continue to rush back to Beijing in the afternoon."

"Yes." The man in black replied respectfully, then turned to leave.

A carriage stopped under the dense forest near a stream, Luo Wushuang and Xiaolan, Chen Yuxi and Chen Chen got out of the carriage, and the other maids followed.

Picked a clean place, set up a barbecue grill, took out the ingredients, and a few maids skewered meat and vegetables, and Wushuang and Yuxi went fishing.

Xiaolan cleaned up the dining table to be used for a while, spread the tablecloth, put the water cup, and began to make tea. Sensing a blazing gaze that kept shooting at her, she looked up and saw Chen Chen looking at her, his face slightly red.

"Why are you looking at me, do you have something on your face?"

"Nope."

"Hmm." Xiaolan reluctantly started to move in her hands and no longer paid attention to him.

Chen Yuxi, who was originally fishing, turned around and wanted Chen Chen to be with him, not wanting to see his eldest brother sitting at the table watching Xiaolan make tea, so at the moment, she felt that the situation between the two was wrong, she seemed to be able to see a red thread between the two, as if she had discovered a new continent.

"Wushuang, look, the two of them have a situation, my brother has taken a fancy to your maidservant." Chen Yuxi said excitedly, his eldest brother is good at everything, and he is also polite to women but distant and indifferent, but he didn't expect to be enlightened, and he was secretly happy in his heart.

"She's not like other handmaidens. But my sister, if he really has the heart to cut off the young man. ”

Chen Yuxi can imagine his brother's appearance of flirting with his sister, thinking that Xiaolan should be delicate and shy, such a beautiful girl by her side, presumably her brother's life should be more and more fragrant.

"Drive, drive."

A carriage galloped over and broke into everyone's eyes, and the man in black who was driving saw Chen Chen on the opposite side clearly, and said in a low voice.

"Your Highness, in front is the first courtier Chen Chen, Chen Gongzi is eating in the front, do we need to come forward, you haven't eaten just now."

The man in the carriage raised his eyebrows, faintly smelling the aroma of pear blossom wine.

"Hmm."

After getting the first plea from the people in the car, he stopped the carriage, only to see the man open the curtain and walk down.

When Chen Chen saw the person in front of him, he immediately recognized it, it was the crown prince, stepped forward, and was about to salute respectfully, when Nangong Yueli, who was dressed in black, stopped him: "Chen Gongzi, don't be polite outside." ”

"Yes, the prince can rest for a while and camp with his little sister and Miss Luo."

"Well, that's fine." Nangong Yueli heard that Miss Luo was interested, he still knew something about the affairs in Beijing, and the fifth brother's fiancΓ©e was not Luo Wushuang.

The two came to the table together, and at this time the tea had been boiled, Xiaolan saw that the people who came were very popular, not the things in the pool, got up and retreated, and went to Luo Wushuang's side.

"Miss, someone is here."

Wushuang and Chen Yuxi looked back into the distance and saw Nangong Yueli sitting upright.

Prince.

The two glanced at each other, Wushuang handed the fishing rod to Xiaolan, and Chen Yuxi got up and walked over with Luo Wushuang.

Nangong Yueli recognized Luo Wushuang, and at that time, she saw that the woman that the fifth brother had been looking at in the palace was the person in front of her.

The two of them arrived at the table and leaned over slightly. "I've seen the prince."

"No courtesy, you don't have to be restrained, I'm just a passerby."

"Hmm."

Wushuang took Chen Yuxi to the barbecue grill and inspected the things that the maids had skewered. It's almost all ready, and you can do your own barbecue.

"Yuxi take the dipping sauce, we'll start roasting now, I'll teach you."

"Uh-huh."

The two of them first grilled a skewer of meat, brushed it with oil, and when it was cooked to seven minutes, it was brushed with Luo Wushuang's special dipping sauce, and it was fragrant in an instant.

"Isn't it easy to bake?"

"Well, it's fun, it's so fragrant."

"It's not just fragrant, it's beautiful, it's full of flavor. Miss Chan will want to eat more in a while. "The little Lanti barrel came to his side, and there were eight or nine small fish that jumped out, and it seemed that the harvest was good.

"Shen Yun, come over and help Xiaolan deal with the fish head." Chen Yuxi saw that his eldest brother's personal guard Shen Yun was fine, thinking that it was always not good for girls to kill fish and deal with them too fishy.

"Yes." Shen Yun had no objection to Chen Yuxi's arrangement, thinking that it was a dinner party, and they should have contributed together.

"Take off all the fish heads, make a fish head soup for a while, remove the internal organs of the fish body, and use it for barbecue for a while." Wushuang commanded.

"Hmm."

The two people next to them smelled a burst of fragrance, and couldn't help but be attracted to it, and saw Luo Wushuang and Chen Yuxi grilling a large plate of barbecue meat.

"Brother, come and help, I'll go ahead and step on some fruit." Chen Yuxi put down the things in his hand and went out.

"Be careful, it's not safe to be alone."

"Chen Gongzi will help first, and Sister Ling, I will help you take care of it." Nangong Yueli also got up and walked in the direction of Chen Yuxi, thinking that she was indeed not safe for a weak woman to be alone in the barren mountains and mountains.

Just now on the carriage when he came, Chen Yuxi saw a fruit tree, thinking that it must be good to bring so many vegetables and meat, and get some natural fruits.

When he came to the bottom of the tree, Chen Yuxi picked a few trees hanging on the branches, Rao felt that it was not enough, walked to the bottom of the tree, climbed up, stood on a thick branch, picked a lot of them three times and divided them by two, and put them in his pocket.

"I didn't expect Miss Chen to be so bold." A magnetic voice rang out. Nangong Yueli was very interested in seeing that Chen Yuxi, who was dressed up very well, made such a pungent action without informality.

Chen Yuxi's movements trembled, she was startled, and suddenly felt that she had stumbled.

"Ahh Exclamation blurted out, is she going to fall? Ah, she doesn't want it, today is her little day, why is it so weak.

Nangong Yueli saw that she was about to fall, her figure flashed, and her hand grabbed Chen Yuxi's waist, but it was very coincidental that she stepped on the fruit that rolled to the ground, and her body leaned and pressed Chen Yuxi to the ground, Nangong Yueli's lips pecked Chen Yuxi's forehead.

Chen Yuxi was shocked, and reached out to push Nangong Yueli's chest.
