spend time

"Reporting to the princess, there are distinguished guests from the capital. Because the princess is not in the palace, the two chief ministers Chen and Feng are not here either. Princess Lu immediately greeted them on her behalf and they just entered the main hall."

The concierge replied respectfully: "This distinguished guest's surname is Zheng, and he is the young prince of Anguo Palace."

Chen Zhuo was startled and looked at the princess reflexively.

The princess, who had been smiling like a flower a moment ago, looked visibly condensed.

Cui Du, who was beside the princess, keenly sensed something was wrong.

Although the princess is young, she is extremely calm and steady. He had never seen the princess lose her composure in front of others.

This Young Master Zheng is obviously different in the princess' mind.

Everyone looked at the princess, waiting for the princess to speak. The princess was silent for a moment, and her expression had returned to calmness when she opened her mouth: "The distinguished guest has come from afar, and I, the princess, will go and see him right now."

"Chen Changshi and Feng Changshi are going with this princess. Chen's people, horses and people are also going." After a pause, he turned to Cui Du: "Cui Du, you are going too."

The moment their eyes met, Cui Dufu suddenly understood something and nodded vigorously.

After dismounting, Cui Du deliberately stepped forward and stood closest to the princess.

This is Chen Sheren's position on weekdays.

Chen Jinyu was slightly dissatisfied and glanced at Cui Du. However, the princess didn't say anything, and it was not convenient for her to argue with Cui Du in public, so she tolerated Cui Du this time.

Cui Du didn't pay attention to Chen Sheren's expression. In fact, all his thoughts at the moment were on the princess.

From the main entrance to the main hall, you have to go around the screen wall and walk about ten steps. During this short journey, Jiang Shaohua walked steadily as usual. Only Cui Du, who was the closest, could see the corners of Jiang Shaohua's pursed lips.

An impulse suddenly arose in his heart, and he wanted to face the coming storm side by side with her, and wanted to hold her hand and give her the firmest support.

It's a pity that he doesn't have the qualifications now.

When they walked around the screen wall, the voices in the main hall could be heard.

I don't know what Young Master Zheng said, but Lu Junma laughed loudly: "Young Master Zheng praises you so much, how dare I accept it."

Then, a clear and melodious young voice sounded: "Lu Junma is too self-effacing. Lu Junma's talent and reputation are something I have heard about even in the capital..."

Sure enough, it was Zheng Zixian's voice.

Jiang Shaohua's heart suddenly sank, and immediately, with a faint smile on his face, he stepped into the main hall.

The handsome young man in rich clothes who was joking with Lu Junma glanced over and looked at Jiang Shaohua from a distance.

At this moment, all sounds were stuck in the throat.

Cousin Shaohua, we finally meet again.

Zheng Zixian, you are here after all.

Chen Jinyu on the side had already stared straight ahead. The rumored young master of Duke Anguo's mansion was actually so handsome. Like a shining pearl, the light shines brightly. The magnanimity is outstanding.

Ma Yaozong was also considered a rare handsome young man. Standing in front of Young Master Zheng, he suddenly looked dim.

In terms of appearance, Cui Du can barely compare. However, Cui Du was from an ordinary background and was easy-going and approachable, just like the boy next door. But Young Master Zheng has the unique demeanor of a child of a wealthy family and the magnanimity of someone in a superior position.

In short, the temperament of Mr. Zheng is quite similar to that of the princess.

……

When they looked at each other for a moment, only the two of them knew the surge in their hearts.

Jiang Shaohua came to his senses first and said in a calm voice: "Are you Zheng Zixian?"

Zheng Chen used all his self-control to stop himself from shaking. He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, stood up, walked forward, raised his hands and saluted: "Yes, Zheng Zixian has met the Princess of Nanyang."

"Young Master, please get up." Jiang Shaohua said calmly and politely: "I wonder why the Young Master came all the way without telling you?" Someone who came all the way without telling anyone already revealed the attitude of the princess.

Zheng Chen had already been mentally prepared. His burning heart was poured with cold water, but it was not extinguished. He responded calmly: "I did come here a little presumptuously."

"Before coming, I should have sent a letter first. I was afraid that the princess didn't want to see me deliberately avoiding it, so I boldly skipped this letter."

Be bold! How dare you ridicule the princess for being timid and cowardly!

Chen Jinyu was angry, raised her eyebrows, and was about to open her mouth. He saw his grandfather wink over quickly.

Chen Jinyu had no choice but to shut up.

Jiang Shaohua was not angry. She knew Zheng Chen's temper very well. Now that he was here, she couldn't send him away easily.

Anyway, old things from the past should be settled.

"Young Master Zheng is joking." Jiang Shaohua said lightly: "I am the Princess of Nanyang. No matter who comes, I will be waiting for you at Nanyang Prince's Mansion. How can I be timid and avoid it?"

"Master Zheng, please take a seat first. If you have anything to say, please speak slowly."

Jiang Shaohua made a gesture of invitation.

Zheng Chen smiled slightly: "Princess, please go first."

Jiang Shaohua was not polite, nodded slightly, and went to sit down first.

Lu Junma was a little embarrassed and explained in a low voice: "The princess was not returning from her inspection at the farm. The young master came suddenly. Someone had to greet me, so I came. I only chatted a few words and didn't say much. Please don't say anything, princess." Sorry."

Jiang Shaohua twitched his lips: "If anything like this happens again in the future, just ask the palace officials to come forward. There is no need to trouble my father."

Lu Junma responded with a smile.

This scene of "a loving father and a filial daughter" was reflected in Zheng Chen's eyes.

Shock flashed in Zheng Chen's eyes, and he suddenly realized that he didn't know Jiang Shaohua well enough. In his previous life, Jiang Shaohua went to the capital alone, and Junma Lu showed up when he got married. Everyone has a good impression of the humble and low-key Lu Junma.

Today, it seems that the relationship between the father and daughter is not harmonious.

Chen Changshi's voice rang in his ears: "Young Master, please take a seat."

Zheng Chen came back to his senses, responded with a smile, and sat down gracefully.

Chen Changshi and Feng Changshi sat down under the princess. On such occasions, Chen Sheren and Ma Sheren, who had low official positions, were not qualified to sit down and stood behind the princess.

Cui Du didn't understand these official etiquette at all. When he saw Chen Jinyu and Ma Yaozong standing behind the princess, he also stood over.

Well, it's still the closest location.

From his angle, he could clearly see Mr. Zheng's face.

Even by the most critical and mean standards, Young Master Zheng is also a handsome young man who is hard to find in the world, with outstanding bearing and brilliance.

Cui Du was quietly sizing up Young Master Zheng, but Young Master Zheng didn't even glance at Cui Du from the corner of his eye.

Young Master Zheng only has Jiang Shaohua, the princess of Nanyang, in his eyes.

"From the perspective of the Queen Mother, I can call the princess Shaohua's cousin." Zheng Chen stared at the young cousin Shaohua, his voice was very gentle.

Jiang Shaohua looked indifferent: "It's just a title. Young Master can do whatever he wants."

Chen Zhuo coughed and asked with a smile: "Young Master came to Nanyang Prince's Mansion specially. I think he has something important to do. Please speak frankly."

Zheng Chen's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "I am here this time on the order of the Queen Mother to bring Princess Nanyang into the palace."
