The next day, the reason why Princess Pingle was angry at the crown finally rushed out of the water, it was the daughter of the housekeeper of Princess Pingle's Mansion who fell for Ye Yiqiu and was painted naked.

The housekeeper almost grew up watching Princess Pingle, that's why Princess Pingle is so angry.

I don't know what reason made the housekeeper and the housekeeper's daughter willing to carry this black cauldron, in short, the big guy took his eyes off Mei Lanzhu suspiciously.

The matter was settled, and Princess Pingle ran back to the house in a hurry, eager to tell Mei Lanzhu the good news.

As a result, to Princess Pingle's surprise, Mei Lanzhu was not very happy, but just let out a faint "oh".

Princess Pingle asked the little maids to take out six painting scrolls, and at the same time unfolded them in front of Mei Lanzhu, which frightened Mei Lanzhu and hurriedly covered her eyes.

Princess Pingle hurriedly explained: "Lan Zhu, these are not your paintings, they are the portraits of several young talents in Beijing who have not yet been married, and you are of the right age, I asked the painter to paint their portraits and send them over, don't be afraid." ”

"Portrait?" Mei Lanzhu squinted lightly and looked at the sky outside, my cousin should be going home in the morning, right?

Mei Lanzhu changed her lazy appearance, and suddenly said to Princess Pingle with interest: "Okay, I'll take a good look." ”

A few little maidens showed the painting again.

Mei Lanzhu looked at the man in the painting carefully.

Eyes stayed on the last painting, the person in the painting was a little familiar, and after looking at the name on the side, Mei Lanzhu finally remembered who this person was, it was Wang Wenqian, the secretary of the Hubu Sinong Temple.

At the Shangyuan Festival banquet held by the queen that day, the only man in white clothes who went to the banquet without decoration, and the only man who valued food more than a woman, was very simple, so simple that he had never painted a blank piece of paper.

Princess Pingle patiently explained: "The palace asked the officials to submit the files of the young unmarried officials, and screened out all those who were not good-looking, rumored and moral, and the remaining six were of excellent character and worthy of a good match, which one did Lanzhu like?" ”

Mei Lanzhu looked at these paintings silently, judging from the family background, character, and official position of these people, the princess is indeed interested.

These people are not children of official eunuch families, or farming families, or ordinary businessmen, if Mei Lanzhu takes a fancy to it, as long as the princess comes out, it is easy to grasp.

Mei Lanzhu was thinking about what excuse to refuse the princess, and the maid came to report, and the concubine came over.

Mei Lanzhu suddenly looked a little uncertain.

Chu Zhilian entered the house, and was startled when he saw the little maids displaying six paintings.

Turning around, it was six images of men, his eyebrows furrowed, and then he disappeared from displeasure, and said with a slight smile: "Princess, what are you doing here?" ”

The princess smiled and said, "What are you doing, of course it's your cousin-in-law!" Come and help you out, which one is a good match? ”

A touch of unnaturalness flashed on Chu Zhilian's face, and then he smiled: "My cousin just experienced a fright, why don't you talk about it later?" ”

The princess shook her head and said: "It's just right now, I met my lover, and the unpleasantness of the past will be forgotten. ”

A touch of impatience flashed on Chu Zhilian's face, and he glanced at Mei Lanzhu faintly.

Mei Lanzhu didn't seem to see Chu Zhilian's signal, her eyes wandered around the portrait, and finally landed on Wang Wenqian's portrait, and muttered: "This person, I seem to have seen it at the banquet of the queen's mother, and the village master of Chu came to say a few words to him at that time. ”

The princess was surprised: "Village Master Chu? ”

Mei Lanzhu nodded and said, "At first, I didn't know that it was the owner of Chu Village, but then Zi Xiao reminded me. ”

The princess squinted her eyes and said, "This Wang Wenqian is good everywhere, there is only one foul disease, that is, he once liked the village master Chu back then." ”

Mei Lanzhu was surprised: "Have you ever liked the village master Chu? ”

Princess Pingle nodded and said: "Yes, but it's all in the past, and he has a relationship with Master Chu and Ling Shangshu now." ”

Mei Lanzhu stared at the portrait, her gaze for a moment.

The princess said: "Since my cousin is interested in Wang Wenqian, and Wang Wenqian's parents are not in the capital, I will ask the village master of Chu to go with me to talk about matchmaking." ”

The princess looked at Chu Zhilian and said, "Donkey, what do you think?" ”

Chu Zhilian's eyes shrank, but his mouth was as warm as jade: "The person selected by the princess must be of valuable character, I can only sit back and enjoy it, waiting for my cousin-in-law to have a drink." ”

The princess left happily, Chu Zhilian squinted lightly, and said to Zi Xiao: "There is white fungus bird's nest stewed in the room, you can help Miss Biao bring it over." ”

Zi Xiao agreed, but his heart jumped, and he inexplicably felt that there was a murderous aura in the eyes of the master just now.

When he looked at it again, it was replaced by a tranquil appearance, and Zi Xiao felt that he might have seen it wrong, so he went out.

Chu Zhizhuo pounced, grabbed Mei Lanzhu's neck with his big hand, and said angrily: "Mei Lanzhu! You did it on purpose! Do you want to borrow the princess's hand and let yourself marry well?! You want to be beautiful!! In my case, the beauty who becomes someone else's beauty is a worthless rat in the gutter, disgusting. I'd rather destroy it, even if you're my cousin. ”

Mei Lanzhu was not afraid and said: "I'm happy that you let me die, but are you willing to let me die?" Since I was ten years old, I was seen by you for the first time, I wanted to die every day, but I didn't have the courage to die every time, you killed me, I couldn't ask for it. ”

Chu Zhihuan let go of his hand, his eyes seemed to be wandering in infinite longing, and he sighed: "I naturally can't bear to let you die, from the first time I saw you, I felt that the woman's body was so graceful, and then, every once in a while, they slowly grew up like spring shoots, until now they bloom instantly." You are like a flower planted by my own hands, starting from grass buds, growing into flower bones, and now beautiful and blooming, is there anything more accomplished than this? You are mine, and no one can take ......"

Mei Lanzhu smiled bitterly: "Cousin, I am eighteen years old today, and I will experience twenty-eight years old and thirty-eight years old...... Even seventy-eight years old, by that time, I had crane hair, sparse teeth, goosebumps, full of age spots, and walked with a swing, was I still beautiful? Anyway, I'm your cousin, you like beauties, it's good to find someone else in the world so big, instead of looking at me and hating each other, it's better to let me go! ”

Chu Zhihuan was said by Mei Lanzhu with a black face, and flicked his sleeves and left.

When I arrived at the Zhilan Hall, I bolted the door, twisted the mechanism, and approached the dark room again.

One side of the wall was covered with a red cloth, as red as blood.

Chu Zhilian pulled a rope in the corner of the wall, the red cloth slowly rose, and the painting hanging on the wall was revealed.

There are six pictures of beauties on it, the first one is a little immature, the second one is slightly longer, and the third and fourth are ...... Until the ninth, like a blooming peony, the fragrance of flowers overflows.

There is only one protagonist, Mei Lanzhu.

Chu Zhilian's eyes couldn't help but become crazy, how could the flowers that he had carefully irrigated for so many years be taken away and appreciated? No, absolutely not.

Even if he knew that Wang Wenqian was Ling Qingyue's henchman and had a good relationship with the village master of Chu, his current self was not a poor boy at the head of the village, but a dignified head assistant under one person and above ten thousand people.

His own task, as long as he coaxes the princess, everything is fine.
