Chapter 295: The Eldest Princess's Preferences
In the lavish courtyard, the fragrance is faint.
The eldest princess sat under the eaves, holding her pointed chin with one hand, and reading the book of poems with the other very seriously.
The long eyelashes glow a little in the warm winter sun, and when I meet a favorite poem, I will take a pen to make some annotations in the blank space.
In the courtyard, the black-clothed young man held a pu fan in his hand, and in front of him was a medicine jar set up in a small charcoal stove, the young man's wrist was forced, and he gently fanned the wind, and the flames swayed out of the charcoal stove, reflecting the white face of the black-clothed young man red.
The post was sent before dawn, and from early morning to now, the eldest princess still hasn't waited for the person she wants to see, and has sent someone to send a new post to send over, but there is no accurate news yet.
Grunt grunt –
The boiling decoction pressed up against the lid of the medicine jar, making a slight noise.
The young man in black carefully poured a bowl out, the soup was black, and it didn't look very good.
The eldest princess glanced at it and asked the young man in black to put the medicine on the small table and wait for it to cool down for a while before drinking.
The black-clothed young man nodded, put down the medicine, sat opposite the eldest princess, took off the rusty iron sword on his back, and wiped it carefully with a silk cloth.
The plan to rob and kill Chu Yan was thought to be seamless, the eldest princess first posted a heavy post in Yanyu Tower, rewarded Chu Yan's head with one million taels of gold, and asked those masters of the rivers and lakes to besiege the official ship, if the masters of the rivers and lakes missed, she still had a trick, she buried a secret son in the Honglu Temple, no matter how you look at Chu Yan, she couldn't escape to death, but the final result failed?
Chu Yan was not on the official ship from beginning to end, and secretly crossed the river five days earlier and arrived in Jinling.
Chen Chao made a risky move, and it was also a good move.
After thinking about it, the eldest princess felt a little pity.
Just one step away, just one step away.
While thinking about it, the eldest princess glanced up at the sky and asked, "What time is it?" ”
"It's not a minute!" After the black-clothed young man finished answering, he put the iron sword between his knees, raised his head and said, "Why don't I go and arrest him?" ”
The eldest princess pursed her lips and smiled, and shook her head: "The prime minister of a country, what kind of system is it to be arrested?" Wait a little longer. ”
"Yes."
The young man in black replied and continued to polish his sword.
......
Evening.
Chen Chao woke up from his sleep faintly, first played a set of military body punches in the courtyard to move the sore muscles of his body, and then washed his face with cold water, and then remembered that he had to go to someone's appointment.
After picking and choosing, and choosing a few gifts, Chen Chao took a carriage and came to the eldest princess's mansion.
Stopping outside the mansion, Chen Chao unexpectedly saw many Yulin troops in the palace guarding outside the eldest princess's mansion, and it seemed that the eldest princess was grounded in the mansion.
After reporting his identity, after the gatehouse of the eldest princess's mansion went in to report, Chen Chao entered the mansion, and as soon as he entered the door, he met the master he saw on the boat that day, the young man in black.
The young man in black was still dressed that day, dressed in capable black, with his hair tied up high, but the sword on his back was gone, so he probably carried it when he went out.
When the young man in black saw Chen Chao, his face was very cold, and he should have been very dissatisfied with Chen Chao's late behavior.
"Follow me."
After the black-clothed young man coldly dropped a sentence, he led Chen Chao through the corridor and came to a courtyard with a quiet environment.
The courtyard was empty, but under the eaves in the distance, the eldest princess was wearing a bandeau black dress and leaning on the couch by the window, waiting for a long time.
Hearing the footsteps, she raised her eyes and looked over, green silk manjuan, pearl hairpin, leaning on the railing and looking back at the infinite elegance.
Chen Chao's eyes lit up.
It's not that he hasn't seen a beautiful woman before, but the innate noble temperament exuded by the eldest princess in her bones is something few people can match, even Murong Yue.
The nobility of the eldest princess is innate, and Murong Yue's nobility and beauty are only possible with the blessing of the acquired noble status.
Chen Chao was stunned for a while, especially with the quiet environment around her, the eldest princess seemed to come out of a painting, which couldn't help but make Chen Chao feel unreal, is such a beauty real?
After coming back to his senses, Chen Chao slowly stepped forward and came to the eaves to make a gesture:
"I've seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, something has been delayed, I hope Your Highness won't blame her."
As he spoke, he presented the gift that he had prepared a long time ago.
The eldest princess stared at Chen Chao, who was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in her heart..... It turns out that you are also a normal man.
On the boat, Chen Chao was blind to her beauty, and the eldest princess was still a little discouraged at that time, thinking that she was not beautiful.
However, seeing Chen Chaofang's stunned appearance, she regained confidence in her appearance.
Raising her hand lightly, the eldest princess said lightly: "Come in and sit." ”
Chen Chao nodded, raised his legs and stepped up a few steps, entered the room, and sat down opposite the eldest princess.
Putting all the gifts he brought on the small case, and slowly pushing it over, Chen Chao said: "I don't know what His Highness likes, just buy some." ”
The eldest princess lowered her eyes, looked at the things on the table, and shook her head a little amused.
The gadgets on the table are all stalls, including food and play, preserved fruits, candied snacks, and small wooden horses..... The whole nine yards.
In the past, the gifts sent to the Eldest Princess's Mansion were either the pearls of the deep sea or the gold and silver jewelry created by famous teachers, in short, they were very precious, and there were few such perfunctory Chen Chaos.
Looking at the eldest princess frowning lightly, Chen Chao said with a smile: "The courtesy is light and affectionate, these are all carefully selected by me." ”
Speaking of which, what else can the eldest princess say?
You can only accept it.
However, when the eldest princess was packing up these things, she found a box with exquisite workmanship, and when she opened the box, she found that there were three small and delicate bottles inside, the bottles were exquisitely made, but they were much worse than the utensils produced by the famous kiln.
"What is this?"
The eldest princess carefully picked up one of the bottles, put it in front of her eyes and looked at it, shaking it slightly, and the liquid in it swayed.
"This is a perfume, but I brought it from the capital of Daji, and Chu doesn't have this thing yet."
"Perfume?"
"Yes, perfume, which is mainly used to spray on the placket, handkerchief and hairline, will give off a pleasant fragrance."
Chen Chao explained, and the eldest princess tried to open the cap of the bottle, put the mouth of the bottle on the tip of her nose, and sniffed it gently.
A fragrance came to the nose, and the fragrance reverberated for a long time.
The eldest princess's eyes lit up, and she glanced at the bottle in her hand a few times in surprise, and then set her eyes on the other two bottles.
Chen Chao helped open a bottle, stretched out his hand to hand it over, and said, "They are all perfumes, but the taste is different, and there are only these three flavors on the market at present." ”
The eldest princess tried to smell them all and nodded with satisfaction, "Among the many gifts given by the prime minister, this perfume is also seen. ”
Chen Chao smiled and didn't speak, and then his gaze inadvertently fell on a book in the eldest princess's hand.
"The eldest princess also likes to read?" Chen Chao had nothing to say.
Hearing this, the eldest princess put the three bottles of perfume into the box, refilled them, poured a cup of tea for Chen Chao and pushed it over, and said casually: "I don't like it, but I like poetry very much." ”
"This one?"
The eldest princess picked up the poetry book in her hand, looked at Chen Chao with beautiful eyes, and said: "This is written by the prime minister, and it is said that the prime minister is a poet immortal. ”
"These poems are really written by the prime minister?"
