History of Empress Dowager Development

Chapter 112

Lin Lang and Qin Zhen came to catch up later. The three girls hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they naturally wanted to be courteous.

Zhu Hanxiang dressed up very carefully today, with gorgeous jewelry and clothes, and even the makeup on her face was thicker than usual.If this is the case, it can be seen that there is a slight difference under the careful makeup. The marks on her cheeks are covered by makeup and powder, and they are not eye-catching at a rough look, but they can still be discerned at a closer look.

However, Mrs. Wu praised Zhu Hanxiang's undamaged appearance, Lin Lang and Qin Zhen naturally wanted to speak the same words, touched Zhu Hanxiang's small face, and said with a smile: "Look at you, it's nothing to worry about, isn't it? Even more beautiful than before!"

Zhu Hanxiang was originally worried about being spotted by them, but now she was relieved a lot, and immediately forced a smile and said: "The method you taught is still useful." She walked in with Qin Zhen's hand.

Because Linlang's cloak was loose, Jinxiu helped her fasten it again, so she was a step too late. Zhu Chengyu caught up behind and said, "Miss He, long time no see."

In front of many people at the gate of the palace, Lin Lang naturally couldn't face him coldly, so he could only say: "Young Master Zhu, I haven't seen you for a long time, is your injury okay?"

"The injury is no longer serious." Zhu Chengyu suddenly smiled lowly, "If Sister He is willing, it doesn't matter if you catch rabbits a few more times." He was a stunning young man, and his smile was really eye-catching. The maids were all dumbfounded.

Linlang said quickly: "It's too dangerous to catch rabbits, let's forget it later." Wrapping the cloak tightly around her body, she turned around and walked inward with Jinxiu.Zhu Chengyu from behind smiled playfully and followed closely.

As the saying goes, "the winter solstice is as big as the new year". This day is a festival day in the folk palaces. New clothes should be worn and food prepared to worship the ancestors.Whenever there are festivals, the noble ladies of Huaiyang City will inevitably gather together, even if they have to go home to worship their ancestors later in the day, they still have to spare half a day for commuting.So Mrs. Zhu hibernated at home for nearly a month, and on this day she brought Zhu Chengyu and her siblings to Prince Rui's Mansion.

The snow last night was not too deep, the snow on the eaves and bluestone roadsides had all melted away, only the south corner was still piled up with snow, a thin layer mixed with the melted water, it was quite interesting under the winter sun .

Lin Lang didn't dare to suffer from the cold, so the winter clothes and cloaks were all thickened, and the snow-white fox fur around her neck made her face look whiter and softer.Zhu Chengyu was walking behind Lin Lang, and he could see her side face and tender white earlobes. Although he had seen countless beauties, this girl still attracted him—she had an extraordinary appearance at a young age, and she might become gorgeous in two years Guan Jiangnan.

He knew that Lin Lang's attitude towards him was very strange, with indifference mixed with defensiveness, only when he was catching rabbits in the mountains that day, he was a little more relaxed, but in the end what was waiting for him was a sharp arrow through his chest.Although Zhu Chengyu didn't find anything in the end, his curiosity towards Lin Lang grew stronger and stronger. Beautiful and prickly flowers were his favorite.

A group of people entered the living room, Princess Rui County was already waiting there.Only the Zhu family and the Qin family were invited to the banquet this time, so instead of setting up a big round table like usual, they used a small knee-high table following the example of the ancients, and the same fruit dishes were placed on the table. share.

Prince Rui had his own male guests to entertain, Princess Rui brought Jun Xu to take the main seat, Mrs. Zhu and Zhu Chengyu brothers and sisters were on one side, and Mrs. Wu brought Lin Lang and Qin Zhen on the other side.

After meeting each other, they sat down, Zhu Hanxiang clung to Mrs. Zhu, Qin Zhen clung to Mrs. Wu, and Zhu Chengyu sat opposite to Linlang. The distance between them was only more than ten feet away, and they could meet each other when they raised their eyes.Lin Lang wanted to see Zhu Hanxiang's behavior after her face was damaged, so she looked there from time to time, and her gaze was slightly turned to Zhu Chengyu, who was sitting in front of the desk in a jade crown and a fine attire, and suddenly smiled at her.
