Hand Medicine Fragrance

Chapter 156
Zhao Yuanzhen returned to the mansion in the evening, and was about to change his coat, but suddenly heard that the princess of Chu State came to ask for an audience.

He frowned slightly, nodded and said, "Please."

The Princess of Chu brought her maid, entered the main room with a smile on her face, and saluted, "I've seen Lord Marquis."

"Princess." Zhao Yuanzhen cupped his hands, "It's getting late, if there's something wrong with the princess, you can order your servants to report back, and come here in person. Is there something wrong with it?"

The princess of Chu State immediately looked sad, "Why did Lord Hou say that? Is this treating me as an outsider? I..."

She hangs her head.

The maid beside her quickly helped her hand and said: "Master Hou, the princess washes her hands and makes soup for you. The princess has shown her kindness, why are you so confused?"

Zhao Yuanzhen hummed, "Princess's heart, I accept it, and please have a good rest."

The maid put the box in her hand on the table, and looked at Zhao Yuanzhen with a frown, "So the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't have any sincerity of friendship? My Princess Chu has been in Beijing for so long, but she has been left out in the post house. Lord Hou evaded it in every possible way, if he didn't intend to get married, why didn't he make it clear earlier?"

Zhao Yuanzhen looked at the maid coldly, "Guess what you want, do you know what crime it is?"

"The servant girl is not used to seeing my princess being wronged, so she risked her life to say this. The attitude of the Marquis has always been ambiguous, but now His Royal Highness has ordered my princess to live in the Marquis Mansion, which is very clear. The Marquis speaks but rejects others thousands of miles away, it is chilling, my princess is kind, if the maid does not speak for the master, my princess's grievances can only be swallowed!" said the maid.

Princess Chu raised her head, her red eyes scolded the maidservant, "Shut up! Is that how I lick my face and send it to my door to make people dislike me?"

The maid hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "My servant made a slip of the tongue."

The princess of Chu State sniffed, "You don't need to say more, I have already seen the attitude of Lord Hou. Since Lord Hou has no intention, we will pack our bags and return to Chu State tomorrow!"

After finishing speaking, she turned around and was about to go out, and the maid quickly got up from the ground.

Zhao Yuanzhen frowned. It's really a headache for a woman to have a temper.

"Princess stay here." He said, "Princess misunderstood."

Princess Chu stood by the door without turning her head, but Xiao Suo's back made people feel sorry for me.

"It's not that I refuse, it's just that before the big wedding, I'm afraid that the princess will be abrupt." Zhao Yuanzhen said slowly, "Respect, respect, respect first, and then pay more attention. In this way, the princess should see that in my heart... the weight of marriage."

Princess Chu sniffed when she heard the words, turned her head abruptly, pursed her lips and smiled, "Really? Didn't you coax me?"

Zhao Yuanzhen shook his head, "Don't dare to deceive the princess."

She looked innocent and cute with tears and smiles, and she happily came to Zhao Yuanzhen's side, "If you mean it that way, you should have explained it to me earlier, because it will cause me to misunderstand and make me sad. Sooner or later, we are a family." People, why push me so far? If you really want to, don't reject me now, otherwise what you just said is lying to me. "

Zhao Yuanzhen nodded expressionlessly.

Princess Chu laughed, "I made my favorite snack in my hometown. After a busy day, you must be tired and hungry. Why don't you try Chu's food? I will take care of your daily life in the future. You should also know your taste."

Zhao Yuanzhen was dragged by Princess Chu to sit down.

Her maid immediately opened the box and put all the food, wine and vegetables inside on the table.

Dinner was also prepared early in the main courtyard, and they were all put up together at this time.

Seeing Princess Chu's eagerness, Zhao Yuanzhen did not dare to take it lightly, and was extra cautious about the meals she brought.

He will only taste something that she has touched with chopsticks.

After eating a little something, Princess Chu poured wine for him again.

Alcohol messes with human nature, Zhao Yuanzhen pushed away the wine glass, "Princess, this is not appropriate."

"Are you guarding against me?" Princess Chu blinked her watery eyes.

Zhao Yuanzhen shook his head, "I'm just guarding against myself. If after drinking, I do something inappropriate to the princess and treat the princess lightly, I'm afraid I will blame myself in the future."

He put it bluntly, Princess Chu could not force him, she held the wine glass by herself and drank half of the pot at her own discretion.

Zhao Yuanzhen didn't drink, but felt like he was drunk, a little groggy, with heavy eyelids.

He frowned and looked at Princess Chu.

I saw that the princess of Chu State who drank the wine had a pink color on her cheeks, her drunken eyes were blurred, and she put her hand on his from time to time.

Zhao Yuanzhen got up immediately and called out: "Send the princess back to rest!"

Princess Chu grabbed his arm and shook her head again and again, "I don't want someone else to send me back, so you send me back?"

"The princess is drunk." Zhao Yuanzhen said with a serious face.

"No," Princess Chu shook her head, "I'm very sober!"

Several maidservants came in outside, and when they saw this, they hurried forward and dragged Princess Chu off Zhao Yuanzhen's body.

The princess of Chu State looked at him with a smirk, "If I don't leave, I can still drink it. This is the wine made in my hometown. Your emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty agreed, so why don't you try it? Master Hou accompanied me for two drinks. Cup?"

Zhao Yuanzhen waved to the maidservants, with a look of impatience on his gloomy face.

And he felt dizzy, afraid that he would not be able to control himself and do something out of control.

Princess Chu was dragged and dragged out until she was sent back to her own courtyard.Zhao Yuanzhen didn't have any other symptoms, but he was extremely tired.

"Hou Ye seems to be not in good spirits, but have you been too tired recently?" The attendants around him advised him to rest.

Zhao Yuanzhen looked at the food on the table, and then at the pot of wine, with some inexplicable eyes.

If she is still there, she must be able to easily know whether there is any problem with the food or drink, right?
Without her, he was like missing an eye and an arm.

"Is Miss Chai still safe?" Zhao Yuanzhen asked.

The entourage quickly replied, "Quiet doesn't cry or make trouble, just sits in front of the window every day in a daze."

Zhao Yuanzhen sighed softly.

"Master Hou, do you want to visit her?" Sui asked in a low voice.

Zhao Yuanzhen hesitated for a moment, she was really similar to her, but not like her.

"I'm not going, I'm a little tired today." Zhao Yuanzhen walked towards the inner room with his hands behind his hands, his head was dizzy, he just wanted to have a good rest and sleep.

The princess of Chu State who was sent back was placed on the bed, giggled for a while, and then obediently closed her eyes and fell asleep.

As soon as the maid who sent her back left, she suddenly sat up from the bed.

The maid serving beside her quickly approached, "Princess?"

Princess Chu smiled lightly and spread her palms.

An Guohou's token was lying quietly on her white palm.

The maid was overjoyed, "When did the princess succeed?"

"An Guohou is a cautious person. He is willing to touch any vegetables that I have touched, but he will not touch the wine, but he does not know that there are medicines in the dishes, and the antidote is in the wine. I pour the wine for him, and he pushes When I refuse, I've already succeeded." Princess Chu smiled lightly, "Because it's not too late, let's go explore the courtyard."

"What if the guards in the courtyard want to ask Lord Hou?" the maid asked worriedly.

Princess Chu shook her head, "Don't worry, he won't be able to wake up for two or three hours."

Princess Chu came to the front of the courtyard shaded by the bamboo grove again, and was about to step into the courtyard when the guards who didn't know where to hide in the courtyard appeared to block her way.

The maid raised her head high, and raised her hand to show Lord Hou's token, "Here is the token of Lord Hou, seeing the token is like seeing Lord Hou! Don't back down!"

The guards looked at each other, frowning, not daring to be careless.

He took the token in the hand of the maid and carefully identified it.

"Master Hou's token, how can it be fake?" The maid sneered.

The guard nodded, handed back the token, and retreated to the side of the road.

Princess Chu stepped forward calmly and entered the courtyard.

Chai Sujin has been living in this courtyard for several days, and she closed her ears to hear what happened outside.

The anxiety and panic in my heart gradually calmed down under the situation of nowhere to escape.

It's just that she looked a little gloomy, not like a girl of this age at all.

With the help of her maid, the Princess of Chu walked through the bamboo forest and saw a row of buildings with exceptionally exquisite corridors.

The winding path paved with pebbles leads to the corridor. There are flowers and birds hanging under the corridor. The light of the lantern shines on the flowers and leaves of the birdcage, making shadows and shadows, adding a bit of hazy beauty.

"Who is it?" The maid who served Chai Sujin in the courtyard was still awake, and when she saw someone approaching, she hurriedly asked.

"Who are you?" The maid asked back.

The servant girl was taken aback, "Who broke in, so brave?"

"Who can come in without Master Hou's permission?" the maid asked back.

The servant girl thought that it was indeed so, she was puzzled, and approached her, "Master Hou called you here? Who are you? What are you doing here at this time?"

"This is the future mistress of the Hou Mansion. Mistress looks around, don't be talkative, step back quickly!" the maid said proudly.

The servant girl was taken aback, mistress?After the princess passed away, is there any mistress in the Hou Mansion?

She suddenly understood, "Is it... Princess Chu?"

The maid snorted softly, "How dare you be disrespectful when you know?"

The maid hurriedly squatted down to salute, but her mind became more and more confused.Lord Hou hid Mei Jiaoniang here, but he didn't do anything to Mei Jiaoniang, he just let people watch and serve him three meals a day.

Now that the princess of Chu State is allowed to come to visit, what is the purpose?
"Back off!" The maid shouted again.

The servant girl quickly lowered her hands and took two steps back.

The maid pointed to the main room where the lights were still on, and whispered: "Did the princess ask her to come out to meet her, or go and see for herself?"

Princess Chu smiled lightly, "It's all here, what else should I pay attention to? It's okay if I go to see her."

With that said, he stepped up to the main room.
