The lady in the box here also had some fun, listening to the drama and throwing the pot was lively, Fang Xuan heard Jiang Wan mention it, King Xiang is here.

I was shocked.

is good, how did Gu Chen come?

Although he was suspicious in his heart, there was nothing wrong with his face, and he and Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Fei cooked the banquet together, and sent all the ladies and relatives away, before they had time to rest.

"Where did my cousin go before? I can't find it, I'm so worried! Jiang Fei's eyebrows were picturesque, his body was like a thin willow, and he took a sip of flower tea with the hand of the maid Leshui, a pair of weak willow eyebrows frowned, and asked worriedly.

Fang Xuan said indifferently: "It's just that I met Master Xiao on the way, and I just said a few more words for a while." ”

"Yes, my cousin was saved by Lord Xiao, so I should be thankful for it, but Fei'er was too worried."

When Fang Xuan heard this, he said with a smile: "You, you are a delicate and careful person when you are young, and your aunt always says that you are too thoughtful, soft and soft, and you always think about others everywhere, but have you ever thought about your own body?" ”

After that, he asked Le Shuidao, "Have you taken your girl's medicine today?" ”

"The girl is bitter and refuses to eat."

"I knew it." Fang Xuan sighed and ordered, "You go and bring the medicine, Sandalwood, and bring the candied fruit I specially brought for my cousin." ”

"Cousin...... You can spare your son this time! Eat every day, eat every month, eat every year, and one day you will eat me into a jar of medicine. Jiang Yi looked at her pitifully, her face wrinkled, really pitiful.

"This is specially brought back by my mother from Yuyang, Yuyang is warm like spring all year round, and the fruits are sweeter than elsewhere, so you won't be bitter if you eat it."

"Xuan'er." The two were talking, but Mrs. Jiang came, and as soon as she entered the room, she said, "Lord Xiang said that he wanted to see you." ”

"See me?" Fang Xuan said, "Auntie, do you know what it's for?" ”

Jiang Jie glanced at her mother with a little resentment, and said cautiously: "Good and decent, why does King Xiang want to see his cousin?" Nothing will happen, right? ”

Mrs. Jiang took Fang Xuan's hand, "What can I do, I just heard from your uncle-in-law about the robbers, my mother and I are cousins of the Queen Mother, and you and your sister are more or less related to the royal family, he is the third prince and your nominal cousin, you should ask a few words, don't be afraid." ”

"yes, that's good." Jiang Jie coughed lightly, "Cousin, go quickly!" ”

"I know, you will divide half of the care you use on others to yourself, and when Leshui and Sandalwood come back, you will obediently drink the medicine, do you know?" Fang Xuan walked out with a few words of advice, and when he arrived at the door, he vaguely heard Mrs. Jiang's concerned and anxious voice.

"Why don't you take medicine again? This must not be broken, otherwise what if you get sick again? ”

Jiang Jie said in a coquettish voice, "My daughter knows, it's because the medicine is too bitter!" ”

"Good medicine is good for ......"

————————

The prefect's mansion is not big, but it is better in exquisiteness, the eaves are roundabout, the rockery is kitsch, there are curved corridors everywhere to connect, out of the two doors, and after a short time, you will arrive at the outer courtyard guest room.

Fang Xuan was entering the courtyard when he saw Xiao Cheng coming out of it, "Lord Xiao." ”

Xiao Cheng replied: "County Lord." ”

The two of them passed by.

Fang Xuan didn't care about his sudden coldness.

The reason why Gu Chen and others came to Zhongnan Mansion is because two months ago, the imperial historian Tang Barley admonished that in recent years, there have been few natural disasters in the Dazhen Dynasty and the wilderness, and the four regions have been leveled, but the taxes of the various prefectures have been sharply reduced.

Today, Shengming treats several princes equally, not only invites scholars to teach appropriately, but after establishing the crown prince last year, the remaining princes are also crowned kings, and move out of the palace to live.

Fang Xuan walked and thought about it casually.

But from the crown prince downward, he has never married a concubine.

Because the Queen Mother has always liked the company of young girls, this time the Queen Mother Qianqiu, Emperor Qianhui specially ordered the daughters of officials above the fourth grade to go to Beijing to celebrate their birthdays, which did not mean to choose concubines for the princes and princes.

"Lord Duanning, the prince invites you in." Fang Xuan stood for a moment, and walked into the courtyard with all his steps, only to see a beautiful maid come out of the house and salute her.

"Lord Wang, the Lord of Duanning has arrived."

The maid's voice sounded again, Fang Xuan had already entered the house, and there was a faint fragrance of ink in front of her, and she couldn't help but feel a little strange, and raised her eyes to look.

Gu Chen's biological mother is Concubine De, from the Yang family in Jeju, and the biggest official position in the clan is Yang Tang, the right bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, who is the father of Concubine De, and her family background is not prominent.

Although his maternal ancestor was born in Hanlin, Gu Chen has been practicing martial arts with the Marquis of Jingwu since he was a child, but he is only a little literate and ink.

Gu Chen didn't sit, but stood in front of a row of bookshelves, flipped through a scroll in his hand, and listened to the maid's message, just nodded, and said lazily: "Duan Ning is here." ”

Although the two were cousins, they had never met, Fang Xuan bowed and said respectfully: "Duan Ning has seen the prince." ”

The maidservant came in with tea.

"Cousin." Jiang Heng suddenly turned out from behind another row of bookshelves, very embarrassed, "I didn't know you were here." ”

"My cousin has always loved books and become obsessed, and it has become a beautiful talk to forget to sleep and eat." Fang Xuan blinked, pointed to the scroll he was still holding in his hand, and said with a smile.

"Makes my cousin smile."

"This king has heard that Annan is a region full of humanities, culture and education, and now it is well-known." Gu Chen sat down casually, took a small cup of flat ears and green glaze to eat tea, and said coldly, "Even in this small guest room, there are more than 100 books, it seems that those self-proclaimed literati in Changfeng are going to be embarrassed, sit." ”

Jiang Heng hurriedly said: "The prince has won the award." ”

The two sat down according to their words, and Fang Xuan also took a teacup to eat tea, with a faint vapor, but seeing Gu Chen's eyebrows and eyes, his appearance was noble, and his behavior was even more eclectic and wanton, although he was born in the royal family, he was sought after by the nobles of Changfeng City, and even made a joke about the tea party vying for marriage.

She thought about it, and it was funny.

"What is my cousin laughing at?" Since she sat down, Jiang Heng had been paying attention to her movements from the corner of his eyes, and now seeing her chuckling for no reason, he hurriedly asked.

"Nothing." Fang Xuan dropped his cup, "It's just that I thought that my cousin didn't like the bitterness of the medicine and refused to eat it, so I was really helpless." ”

"Yes, my sister is very good, but she is afraid of sourness and bitterness, which can break my mother's heart."

"Looks like you're all right." The two talked and laughed, Gu Chen suddenly spoke, his voice was low, his left hand kept playing with the jasper wrench on the thumb of his right hand, and said idly, "Now I still have the heart to make fun of others, but this king is too worried." ”

"Duanning, thank you for your concern." Fang Xuan smiled, got up and curtsied, "Thanks to Lord Xiao's timely rescue, Duan Ning was only a little frightened, and there was no big problem. ”

"That's good." Gu Chen only raised his eyes to look at her at this time, but saw that the face of the woman in front of him was like green smoke, the color was like a flower of spring dawn, her shoulders were thin, her waist was thin, her eyes were beautiful, and her lips were very beautiful.

After only glancing at it, he still described it casually, "This king heard Lord Xiao mention that you first noticed that something was wrong before you sent someone to send a letter for help?" ”

Fang Xuan's heart sank.
