Song of Peach Blossoms: Alluring Princess

Chapter 311
Spring to summer solstice seems to be a blink of an eye. Before all the spring shirts can be taken out to soak up the sun, it is already time to consider buying light summer shirts.

Xiyan rode her horse out from the south city gate, whipping the horse non-stop with a whip, she thought, it would be fine if she just fell down and died.

Today, the father agreed to the emperor's gift of marriage, letting her marry this year's new champion, a white-faced scholar.She rode by the door of the household department office where he worked, and saw him. Although he was not as good as the second brother in appearance, he was still considered a good-looking talent.But for a moment of trance, she actually saw Jiang Chenzhi on that face.

Thinking about it carefully, the reason why she was so opposed to someone bringing her and him together was because she refused to admit defeat when he objected.In fact, she was thinking about Jiang Chenzhi in her heart, but she only realized this terrible thinking when she was about to marry another person. This was really a kind of torture for her.

But there was no one to talk about the depression and sadness. The mother was busy preparing her dowry, and the second brother was busy helping Prince Zhan to fight to the death with Prime Minister Jiang and Prince Rui.Not to mention that Chen Xunfang is now married into a deep house, and her life is not good, even if she is in harmony with Prince Rui, she can't tell Chen Xunfang what she said.

Looking at the whole capital, she didn't have a single friend. She did have such a friend in the past, but her life and death were long gone.Some people said that she had seen her in Khmer, and she was a guest of Khmer Anguo Gongfu, and some people said that she died in the prince's forced palace.

There are always so many unsatisfactory things in life, if she can still act recklessly as before, she can make a fuss about not getting married.But no, her vigor has disappeared since the death of the eldest princess and even her cousin.

The horse ran up the hillside, but she lost her grip because of something in her mind, so she fell off the horse and rolled along the grass on the hillside to the flat ground halfway up the mountain.

"Hey, it's really embarrassing for the majestic Princess to sleep so indecently." Someone on the hillside said with a smile.

Xiyan turned over and sat up, and through the tall and low grass, she saw Jiang Chenzhi sitting on horseback like a knight-errant walking the rivers and lakes, with a faint smile on his face.Her tears came down suddenly, is this fate?Jiang Chenzhi, why didn't you come back earlier, so maybe I can recognize my heart clearly.

This feeling can be regarded as a memory, nothing more.

She wiped her eyes, stood up and lashed at Jiang Chen, "Haven't you heard of seeing no evil?"

"Yes, the grass people don't know how to be polite." After he finished speaking, he laughed, and Xi Yan stood in the grass and looked at him. After watching him for a while, his heart sank, and he walked over.

"How did you know I was here?"

"I was about to enter the city, but I saw you running like crazy. I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I came over to take a look. I didn't expect you to just take a rest after running tired."

"Thank you! You still know to come and see me." Xi Yanqiang walked over with a smile on her face, and stood with him on the hillside looking at the capital city in the distance.

"Actually, I have something to ask you. A few days ago, I traveled around the Thousand Hands Villa, and I stopped by to sit there. I met an acquaintance there, and she asked me to bring you something for you to keep for a while. Wait. After she has finished everything, she will come to you to ask for it back."

"Is it Miss Su?" Xiyan turned her head to look at Jiang Chenzhi, "There are always various rumors these days, I would rather believe that they are all true, so at least she is still alive."

"No." Without further ado, Jiang Chenzhi took out a small box from the horse's bag and handed it to her, "Just store it well, don't worry about anything else, and don't mention it to anyone."

"Is Miss Su really gone?" Xiyan said sadly.

"I have traveled to so many places and met so many people, and I have learned a truth. People get together and accompany each other because of fate. When fate ends, people also have time to part."

"Jiang Chenzhi." This was the first time she had called him by his name so formally in person, "My father, the king, made a decree to marry me to this year's champion of the new department, and we will get married on a certain day."

Jiang Chenzhi was stunned, standing on the top of the hill and watching Xiyan's back disappear into the forest with the running horse, only a little blush was left occasionally.

Is this a word of prophecy? Gathering and parting are fate, and if the fate is over, they will be separated!The wind from the top of the mountain blew his hair up, and he took out a red tassel from his bosom, which was the hair of a red fox he had found somewhere in his travels.Because she once received a snow-white whip, but she had never been able to find a matching tassel. He remembered it in his heart, but now it is extremely difficult to find, but the matching whip is lost!

When the breeze blew, he flipped his hands and held the red tassels into his palms, as if he was grasping the fate that had been dispersed.

At Suji Silk and Satin Shop on South Street, the shopkeeper was standing by the door and was wiping the dust on the lintel, when he saw Xiyan leading the horse past the door, he stopped her.

"Princess, please wait."

Xiyan recognized the shopkeeper, so she stopped in her tracks and asked, "What's the matter with the shopkeeper?"

"It's like this. Our head of the family once confessed that the princess is her friend. Today, when I heard about the princess's happy event, I thought that the caravan bought a set of red puppet mechanism dolls from the border and kept them in the warehouse. You If I like it, I will send it to your residence?"

"You're welcome." She was still immersed in her own sadness, and she was not interested in these things.

"That's okay. I'll pack it up and send it to you some other day. You're busy." The shopkeeper let Xi Yan go, and turned around to tidy up the counter. A middle-aged man walked in the door. He was wearing a gray-blue shirt and looked very simple. But it was difficult to conceal the demeanor of this person.It was a kind of vicissitudes that seemed older than age, as if it was a kind of insight that had been precipitated after experiencing all the joys and sorrows in the world.

With gentle eyebrows and calm expression, when he walked in with his hands behind his back, he didn't look like he was going to buy something, but the shopkeeper couldn't ignore it at all.

"Guest officer, what do you want to buy?"

"Is there any brocade?"

"Yes, come and take a look." The shopkeeper moved out several pieces of brocade from the cabinet on one side, and placed them on the counter one by one.

The man stroked the cloth with his hand, and three of his five fingers were missing, "The brocade should be stored in a transparent place, neither too dry nor too wet, otherwise the thread will be ruined."

"Yes, you are right. I was away for a few days, and I put it away because I was afraid that the shop assistants would not take good care of me."

"These fabrics are pretty good. I'll pay the down payment and you keep it for me. I'll bring someone to pick out the colors." After speaking, the man took out two silver notes from his sleeve and gave the shopkeeper the down payment.

"Do you have any other requests?"

"Does the shopkeeper know where there is a master who can make buttons? One of my robes has a button missing, and it is made of cloud patterns. I want to find someone to make one."

"Go out from here, and there is an embroidery workshop in the second alley, where there are masters who can do it."

"Okay, thank you shopkeeper." After the man finished speaking, he lifted his foot and left, and the shopkeeper followed outside the store. Why did he feel that this person looked a bit like the head of the shop?Could it be that he is really dazzled?
