Chapter 180 Reunion ()
Jiang Shaohua entered the dormitory without looking back: "You all, please step aside. I want to be alone."

Chen Sheren, who had been escorting the princess all the way back, raised his head and glanced at the princess's back. He wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back: "Yes."

Chen Jinyu withdrew, and Yin Zhu Tubai also quietly retreated.

The door is closed.

She was finally alone.

Jiang Shaohua seemed to have been relieved of a huge burden. He no longer raised his head and held his chest out, calmly and calmly. He fell on the bed and buried his head in the thick quilt.

It didn't move for a long time.

This time, she didn't cry. The confusion, fragility and sadness invaded for a moment, and then slowly dissipated.

She maintained this position and fell into a deep sleep.

When I opened my eyes, it was already evening.

She turned over and lay down, looked at herself with messy hair in the mirror with disgust, and said loudly: "Yinzhu, Tubai, I want to take a shower and change clothes."

She wanted to dress neatly to pick up Feng Yan.

Tonight, there is still a "tough battle" to be fought.

Yinzhu Tubai had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and immediately opened the door and came in after hearing this. Jiang Shaohua's impassioned look made the two maids startled.

The two of them had been worried that the princess was depressed, and they were thinking about how to comfort her. Now it seems that the two of them were worried for nothing.

The princess is high-spirited and in good spirits.

After Jiang Shaohua took a bath, Yin Zhu brought some new clothes: "These are all new autumn clothes made this year. Which one does the princess want to wear?"

Jiang Shaohua glanced at it, stretched out his hand and pointed: "This one."

True red, the most eye-catching and dazzling one.

Jiang Shaohua's skin is extremely white. After putting on the red dress, her skin becomes whiter than snow, and she is dazzlingly beautiful. She didn't wear a full set of gold and jade jewelry, but only picked out a hairpin.

"How do I do this?" Jiang Shaohua took a look at himself in the mirror and asked with a smile.

Yin Zhu was full of praise: "The princess is so noble and beautiful."

Tu Bai nodded in agreement: "Let the young master from the capital open his eyes tonight."

Jiang Shaohua laughed.

Zheng Chen Who is Mr. Zheng? In his previous life, he married a famous beauty in the capital. His first wife died in childbirth a few years later, and he took an oiran from the capital as his concubine. Later, when he became a powerful official in the Liang Dynasty, some people liked him and specially found a girl who looked similar to her to offer him.

Even if he could never fall in love with her, there was no shortage of beauties around him.

Why should he open his eyes? She doesn't need to think too highly of herself either.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shaohua regained his composure and said calmly: "Let's go!"

……

Nanyang Palace has a special banquet place, and the reception banquet is held here.

High-standard banquets are usually for two people.

"Young Master Zheng is a guest from afar. Please take a seat." Jiang Shaohua, dressed in red, came with a smile and extended his hand to make an invitation gesture.

Zheng Chen also specially took a bath and changed into new clothes. His hair was tied up with a jade crown. His smile was graceful and radiant: "The princess has a distinguished status. Please come first."

Jiang Shaohua responded slowly and calmly: "My princess is young and doesn't know how to drink. Tonight, Chen Changshi will accompany my young master at the table."

Chen Zhuo was mentally prepared and immediately agreed with a smile: "I will take good care of my young master."

Zheng Chen was not so easy to dismiss. He took a deep look at Jiang Shaohua and said, "You and I are cousins, and we are similar in age. It's easy to chat when we sit together. Isn't it that the princess dares not sit at the same table with me?"

It's a pity that the princess didn't accept Ji Jiang's tactics and said, "It's not convenient for men and women to sit at the same table. Chen Sheren and I can just sit at the same table."

Chen Sheren immediately came over with a smile, and sat down arm in arm with the princess.

Zheng Chen had to sit at the same table as Chen Zhuo. Feng Wenming and Yang Zheng took a seat, Wen An and Shen Mu took a seat, and Cui Du and Ma Yaozong took a seat. "Why didn't Junma Lu come?" Zheng Chen glanced around and asked casually with a smile.

Jiang Shaohua's expression remained unchanged: "Junma Lu sent someone a moment ago to say that he suddenly felt unwell and could not come to the reception banquet."

Zheng Chen laughed it off.

The feast started soon. The chefs of the Nanyang Prince's Mansion were instructed, and tonight they tried their best to serve up delicacies one after another like water.

Zheng Chen tasted a few mouthfuls and said quite approvingly: "The cooks in the palace are as good at cooking as the imperial chefs."

Jiang Shaohua smiled slightly and accepted the praise: "It is their blessing to be praised by Mr. Zheng."

Chen Zhuo chuckled: "When the prince was alive, he spent a lot of money to invite several famous chefs to come to the prince's palace. The young prince is a distinguished guest, so the chefs will naturally prepare delicious dishes carefully tonight."

Feng Wenming answered with a smile: "I stayed at the farm for a few days, and all I ate were home-cooked dishes. Tonight, I suddenly had such a delicious meal, so I have to feast on it."

Then, raise a glass to the young father-in-law.

Yang Zheng and others had already received the instructions and took turns raising glasses to toast. Zheng Chen is still young, but he is extremely familiar with handling such banquets, so he raised his glass to join in the celebration.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and it was harmonious and lively.

Only Cui Du kept working hard without saying a word.

"Master Cui, why don't you drink?" Zheng Chen suddenly looked over.

Cui Du responded succinctly: "I never drink."

Zheng Chen smiled and said: "Drinking alcohol can easily harm your health. You are young now, so it's okay not to drink."

Cui Du hummed and continued to eat with his head down.

Zheng Chen: "..."

Zheng Chen frowned slightly.

This Cui Du is young, and his speech and behavior are different from ordinary people. Sitting at this reception banquet, he didn't seem to be shy and reserved. He ate and drank so much that he looked more calm than him.

Zheng Chen raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Shaohua. By coincidence, Jiang Shaohua was looking at Cui Du with a smile. That gaze was gentle and bright.

The bowstring in Zheng Chen's mind suddenly tightened.

An hour later, the banquet ended.

Jiang Shaohua stood up to leave, and Zheng Chen stood up resolutely: "I will see the princess off."

Everyone's eyes wandered back and forth between the princess and Young Master Zheng.

How should I put it, some things cannot be hidden from the discerning person. The purpose of Mr. Zheng's visit to Nanyang Prince's Mansion is very obvious, and the princess is extremely indifferent to Mr. Zheng. This night, Young Master Zheng's eyes were almost glued to the princess, but the princess seemed to have disappeared.

The two of them had never met before, thousands of miles apart, so why did they feel so strangely familiar?

The princess glanced at Zheng Chen and nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed.

"Princess," an unexpected voice also sounded. It was rough and hoarse, but it was extremely loud and made people's eardrums hurt: "I will also send the princess back."

Everyone turned to look over.

Cui Gongzi, who had been silent all night, became a blockbuster without even realizing it. He straightened his chest and waited for the princess' approval.

Jiang Shaohua was also a little surprised and nodded quickly.

Cui Du grinned brightly.

Zheng Chen couldn't laugh anymore, his eyes became cold and cold.

Everyone withdrew their gazes and walked away. The princess slowly returned to the courtyard accompanied by Young Master Zheng and Young Master Cui.

Outside the courtyard gate, Jiang Shaohua stopped.

Just as he was about to open his mouth, Zheng Chen took a step forward: "I have something to tell the princess, Master Cui will go first."
