The wind outside blew in from time to time, and Li Cong looked at the maid who bowed her head and said, "It turns out that your young lady is like this in private." ”

"No, it's not good for your eyes."

"But I see that your young lady likes it tightly, and I don't think I can persuade it."

Li Cong said and smiled.

Apple lowered her head and couldn't see, but Chen Hua, who was originally working hard inside, heard Li Cong's voice, and when she looked up, she happened to see Li Cong.

And Li Cong is looking at her.

Chen Hua didn't know when he came, but he still let go and slowly got up from his position.

She's been sitting here for a long time, just in time to relax.

"How long has Your Highness been standing here?"

Li Cong said: "It's been a while. Let's go to lunch together. ”

It turned out that it was noon, and Chen Hua was not polite: "Then eat some together, I'll pack up my things." ”

Master Xiao Zhu has been in the workshop, and he recently received an order that needs to be rushed for days.

The first ones have the help of small workers, but the later ones are particularly meticulous, and they must be veterans with many years of experience like Master Zhu.

For Chen Hua to go out to eat, he just waved his hand, and he didn't want to go together.

Li Cong came to the capital, but he was actually quite idle, there was nothing to do, and he didn't want to interact with the ministers of the court for the time being, so he wandered around the city all day.

Chen Hua listened to Xiao Zhu's masters, and there have been a lot fewer people on the street recently.

Master Xiao Zhu didn't mean to laugh, and Chen Hua even felt some pity in his tone.

In Chen Hua's opinion, Li Cong's face is actually not so hateful, but the position of the knife is a little off, so he looks a lot fiercer.

In addition, Li Cong rarely has to kill people in the army, so his whole temperament may be a little different from those rich children in Beijing.

But not to the point that everyone hates it.

Sometimes Chen Hua thinks about it, maybe it's because it's her own thing, so she beautifies Li Cong's appearance a little.

At least when walking on the street, everyone avoids walking, and many people don't even dare to look at Li Cong, but frequently cast surprised glances at her.

In the end, Chen Hua and Li Cong entered a box.

Compared with the loud shouting of Xiao Er in the shop outside, in Li Cong's place, he obviously lowered his voice a lot, and the whole person trembled.

Chen Hua looked at the menu and quickly ordered the dishes.

Li Cong was not picky, so he didn't speak.

After waiting for the poor shopkeeper to leave, Chen Hua slowly spoke: "I heard that His Royal Highness used to come to the capital, and he was wearing a mask. Why haven't I seen you once these days? ”

Chen Hua thought that maybe when Li Cong was wearing a mask, the people on the road would not be so resistant.

And it seems that Li Cong doesn't seem to care about the eyes of others at all, as if at this moment, he is facing Chen Hua squarely.

"Your Majesty's will came too quickly, and I didn't have time to wear a mask, so I didn't wear it this time in Beijing. Why, these days, are you used to seeing my face? Li Cong felt that this Chen Hua was quite bold, except for the first time when she met outside the city, she was a little surprised and scared, but when she got to the back, she was actually quite calm.

His face is now good to say, and it's not good to say badly.

At least many people want to run away when their eyes touch this face, even if they force themselves to talk to him, but they still don't want to see him, and keep their heads down, as if there is gold on the ground.

In the past two days when he entered the palace, Emperor Yu also reminded him from time to time and asked him to wear a mask to the court, so as not to frighten the older ministers in the court.

This may be one of the reasons why he doesn't want to enter Beijing, none of them actually really want to see him, but they have no choice but to deal with him because of power.

Li Cong felt that this face could help him filter out some people.

Like at this moment, this Chen Hua is a person who has been completely filtered.

She dared to ask him such a question, thinking that she really didn't treat herself as an outsider.

"It's not enough to see it, but if His Highness wears a mask, maybe the reaction of the people around him will not be so obvious, and His Highness may be able to suffer less damage."

Li Cong was a little surprised: "Do you think those are all injuries?" How so? ”

Chen Hua shook his head: "I just feel it, the folk girls have always stayed in the inner house, and they don't have much contact with people." I can put myself in His Highness's position and think, if I were His Highness himself, I don't want everyone to avoid me. Your Highness, in my heart I hope that everyone will like me and smile when they look at me. ”

Li Cong drank tea slowly: "But not everyone will like you." I think it's a good thing now, at least no one comes to ask me anything, and no one asks me for anything. The situation between the DPRK and China is complicated, and I am more quiet. ”

Li Cong said shallowly, but Chen Hua still understood.

"Like at this moment, would you like me to wear a mask and talk to you for dinner?"

Chen Hua also drank tea like him: "I don't know, it's good if you like it yourself." ”

It's useless to ask her, she has seen this face since she was a child, although she will be afraid that he will kill herself, but she has changed, he will not come to kill her for no reason.

Chen Hua is now the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and in addition, His Majesty personally gave her marriage, so she has nothing to fear.

As long as he hides well, Li Cong will not find anything.

The two of them were chatting for a while, and the second little man in the shop had already started serving food one after another.

And Chen Hua found that Li Cong had a good thing, that is, she was not sensitive to her own face, if she didn't even dare to mention it, then she would feel that things were tricky.

Like now, the two of them can talk and eat like friends.

In Li Cong's eyes, she is just a little girl who looks like eleven or twelve years old, and she can't even be called a woman.

But now she is still useful to him, whether it is an excuse for prevarication or something else.

Just like what he did to her at the moment.

Chen Hua was a little grateful in her heart, if it weren't for His Majesty's sudden marriage, her road in the Prime Minister's Mansion might be more difficult, and it would be different when she could leave the mansion.

That's what those in power do.

Li Cong ate quickly, and his movements slowly slowed down when he felt Chen Hua's gaze looking at him from time to time.

"If you need me to wear a mask when you're with me, that's fine."

Chen Hua raised his eyes, a little excited: "Is it really possible?" ”

"I ask Your Majesty that we get married as soon as possible and enter the Wu Palace, you have to listen to me."

Chen Hua couldn't imagine that this Li Cong still had such a request, she paid attention to his expression: "Your Highness probably doesn't want to stay in Beijing, right?" ”

If he is in the army all the year round after getting married, it will be good.

Chen Hua thought of this and slowly began to plan.

"It's my thing. We're talking about the mask now, and you can see it, and walking next to me, you may come to face a different gaze, and after wearing the mask, there may be a lot less such gaze. Don't you want everyone to like you? You're a pretty little girl, and you can do it easily if you want. ”

Li Cong obviously wanted to exchange with her, if Chen Hua just wanted the likes of others, or out of face, maybe he would agree to him immediately.

But thinking of his conditions, Chen Hua hesitated.

This kind of thing still needs to be cautious.

She needed a little more time to think about it, and after eating a small half bowl of rice, Chen Hua proposed: "Didn't Your Highness ask some doctors who are good at treating injuries to treat the wounds on your face?" If Your Highness can heal the wounds on your face, maybe you won't need to marry me, there are so many young ladies in this family, you can pick and choose all of them. ”

In Chen Hua's view, although Chen Wenli is now the prime minister of Zuo, his foundation is too thin and has no foundation.

In the royal family, many people will tend to marry those century-old nobles, even if something happens, they can also use the family relationship to take care of each other.

But he is the only one in Chen Wenli's family who came out to be an official, and the ladies in the family either do not have a mother's family, or they only have a thin field in the family, or they are businessmen, although they have some small assets, but compared with many families in the capital, it is really not enough.

This Li Cong is lost on this face and the reputation of his wife.

But if a man is handsome enough and has such power, a lot of young girls will go forward to succeed him, and everyone will definitely not avoid it like now.

Li Cong was almost amused by Chen Hua's seriousness: "If the fourth lady is free, it is better to ask the masters a lot of questions about carpentry, but they are here to worry about my affairs." Fourth Miss, if you are willing, you can be a matchmaker. It's just that I'm quite satisfied with my face now, and keeping this face can remind me of some things. You may have heard that my face was left over from the previous dynasty. ”

Li Cong's sudden seriousness made Chen Hua a little scared: "Yes, there are rumors like that." ”

"Then do you know that the princess of the former dynasty is still escaping outside, and there are still many passers-by in the court chasing her?"

Chen Hua continued to pick up vegetables: "I haven't heard much about this, after all, I'm just a little girl who lives in a house for a long time, and I don't know anything." ”

"The princess of the former dynasty is surnamed Chen Minghua, which is a coincidence, you have the same name and surname as the fourth girl, and what is even more interesting is that you are actually quite similar to the princess of the Chen Dynasty."

Chen Hua pulled rice: "I don't know about this, but if you talk about the Chen Dynasty, it has been ten years, Your Highness has seen that princess all these years?" I even knew that I looked like the princess. ”

"As you said, I haven't caught that princess for ten years. Speaking of which, I also have some relationship with the princess, I still have some memories at that time, not to mention so many portraits of the previous dynasty, I naturally know what the princess will be like when she grows up. ”

Chen Hua nodded: "Then His Highness is very powerful." ”

"It is said that beautiful women look similar, and the fourth lady has seen a lot in the inner house, and may have her own opinions."

Chen Hua shook his head: "As I told His Highness, I have lived in the inner house for a long time, and I have never seen the princess of the Chen Dynasty. ”

Li Cong nodded: "That's true, but looking at Miss Chen Si, you can remind me all the time that I have to hold the princess of the Chen Dynasty." I haven't heard of any other women from a family who look like the princesses of the previous dynasty. Therefore, Miss Chen Si should also be careful, so that she can protect this marriage, whether it is for me or for you, it will be good. ”

I was waiting here.

Chen Hua hurriedly said: "What Your Highness said makes sense, but I made a mistake, my marriage with His Royal Highness has already been decided, and His Royal Highness still can't look down on other girls from the family." The courtiers are really fortunate in three lives. ”

As he spoke, Chen Hua was almost crying.

Poured back and forth, but I didn't expect to fold myself in.

It seems that this Li Cong has a deep hatred for her, even if he wants to marry, he must marry someone who looks similar to the enemy, so as to remind himself of revenge from time to time.

Li Cong is too good at holding grudges, ten years have passed, how can she compensate?
