Chapter 308

Chu Chengxun raised his head from the flowers. When he saw the woman in Imperial gauze coming, he put away his umbrella and walked to the corridor. Smiled at her.

Xue ronghua, look where he came out. A white hibiscus flower just poked out of the fence. "Has the king been gardening recently?"

"There's nothing to do. It's more interesting to get flowers and plants." Chu Chengxun clapped his hands. "I thought the princess went into the palace to greet the concubines of the back Palace today."

"No. I really have a terrible headache. So I stayed in the house to have a rest. I think my mother will understand." Xue ronghua flashed a strange look at the bottom of his eyes, "is the king resting in the house now?"

Chu Chengxun nodded, "the emperor originally wanted me to live in the palace. But I think the etiquette in the palace is too cumbersome. So he proposed to live in Prince Duan's house. Prince Duan happily agreed, hoping not to disturb the princess."

Xue ronghua smiled. "Don't bother me. Duan Wang is not here sometimes. And Xiang Wang can talk with me."

Chu Chengxun rolled up his sleeves and showed a white arm. "How did the princess sleep last night? I'm afraid the princess will have a headache when she gets up this morning. She cooked some wine and soup, and it will be much better after drinking."

It turns out that King Xiang can't do martial arts. Xue ronghua said with a smile, "thank you, Xiangwang. Even such a thing should be for me. It's really guilt that worries Xiangwang."

"I've lived in your house for a long time. It's right to take care of you," Chu Chengxun said with a smile. "The princess doesn't seem happy."

Xue ronghua was stunned. She was smiling like a flower at the moment. He could even see the sadness in her heart. "No, maybe I drank too much last night and couldn't turn around for a while. It would be better if I waited for a period of time."

"It's true," Chu Chengxun folded the white hibiscus and obliquely inserted it into her bun. "The princess looks very beautiful. Does the princess like it?"

Xue ronghua was stunned to touch the hibiscus flower, and some embarrassed lowered his head. "It's a pity that the hibiscus that the king had worked hard to raise has come up to my bun."

"What a pity, isn't it a hibiscus?" Chu Chengxun looked deeply at her face. "When hibiscus flowers are close to summer, they will grow naturally, but beauty is inevitable to meet one in her life."

Xue ronghua's eyes are bright. "If you are a beauty, those exotic customs in Xirong are better. Why did the prime minister say that he hasn't seen them? I'm afraid he's tired of seeing them. It's common for other beauties to enter his eyes again."

Chu Chengxun stared at her with burning eyes. "How can the princess say that? If I'm really used to beauty, I won't say that the princess is a beauty. It can be seen that the beauty of the princess is really unique. It's very different from that Xirong woman. Each flower goes into each eye. I like the princess."

Xue ronghua heard something strange in his ears. For a moment, he didn't know how to deal with this inexplicable confession, so he had to answer with a shallow smile, "the prime minister is really a good eloquence, but he didn't marry a princess at this time?"

Chu Chengxun took back his improper eyes and said faintly, "I didn't meet the woman I really like. I don't want to waste the youth of other women."

"It seems that the king is still very open-minded. If other men are willing to waste for selfish desires or anything else," Xue ronghua said with a slight smile, "the king is not an ordinary man."

While they were talking and laughing, Xi Yu, who was beside the king, came to see him and said that Duan Wang had returned to his house.

Xue ronghua wondered, "why did Duan Wang come back? He went to see the imperial concubine today. He should have lunch with the imperial concubine. At this time, he didn't prepare his dishes in the small kitchen."

"This can be made up for. Duanwang should be worried that you are alone in the house, so he will come back with you as soon as possible," Chu Chengxun said with a smile. "Isn't the princess going to go out to pick him up?"

Xue ronghua was hesitating. Chu Zongge had come in from the outside. He stepped into the corridor and banged on the board.

"Why did you come back?" Xue ronghua frowned. "If you don't have lunch, the imperial concubine will blame you."

Chu Zongge looked at the hibiscus on her bun. "I went into the palace to see the emperor, not the imperial concubine. When I saw the emperor, I said that the princess was still in the house. I remembered it in my heart and came back to see you."

"Why didn't you go?"

Chu Zongge raised his hand and took off the Hibiscus in her bun. He smiled softly and said, "I didn't take you. What's the meaning of going alone? It's just to gossip with her. Besides, you don't like it."

Xue ronghua bit his lip and looked away. "What I don't like is to greet the imperial concubine. If you ask me to go, will I refuse? Just follow you."

Chu Zongge looked at her small temper. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. He just looked at the king with a smile. "Uncle Huang, although it's good to have a princess, there's a lot of trouble. Uncle Huang is still free and doesn't have to worry about these small things."

Chu Chengxun naturally smiled with great interest and said, "then I still envy you, * * Tianxiang is better than being alone. There are many great interests in you, but you don't understand it. You'll know when the days grow up."

He brushed his sleeve, said goodbye and turned away.

Chu Zongge turned the Hibiscus in his hand, "I seldom see you wearing flowers. Today is the first time."

Xue ronghua took back the flowers in his hand, "because you have never paid attention to it yourself, so you say it's rare. You'll understand when I put it on today."

"I understand what. If you have a bad mind, please talk to me," Chu Zongge twisted her body and turned to his side. "Don't be angry. It's my fault that I left without saying goodbye this morning. It won't be like this in the future."

Xue ronghua's anger was also mindless, but he didn't see him early in the morning. Now he softened down and apologized first, and her anger dissipated more than half. "You're not angry. Don't leave me alone in the house in the future. I thought you left me to greet the imperial concubine."

"How could it be?" Chu Zongge confidently and boldly locked her in his arms and put his head against her bun. "How could I leave you alone to greet the imperial concubine? I would never do anything I knew you would be angry."

Xue ronghua pursed his lips and said unhappily, "just understand in your heart, but you will lose etiquette if you don't go to greet the imperial concubine tonight."

"So I told the emperor that I'll take you to greet the imperial concubine tonight and have dinner with her," Chu Zongge kissed her hair tip. "How about I went to say this to the emperor this morning? You don't have to be angry?"

"Forget it," Xue ronghua pouted. "You don't know how sad I was when I didn't see you this morning. I really thought you went to greet the imperial concubine."

"I won't, you must believe me," Chu Zongge looked at the Hibiscus in her hand. "Is this the flowers and plants raised by the king recently? When I got up today, I saw him making the hibiscus. At that time, I thought about what he was doing here in this rainy day."

"People love flowers and plants. They will come on rainy or sunny days," Xue ronghua put white Hibiscus back on her bun. "Why did you ask him well?"

Chu Zongge glanced at the king's other garden, "you seem to have a good chat with the king."

"You're often not in the palace. I'll go and talk to him when I'm free," Xue ronghua looked at him bitterly. "Don't think too much. He's your uncle, not the king of Jin and the prince."

Chu Zongge hummed softly, "then you still have to stay away from him. He hasn't seen any women. Don't be fascinated by you alone. If you become my royal sister-in-law, I have to go crazy."

Xue ronghua chuckled, "what if I really became your sister-in-law?"

"What should I do? I'll get you back when you get married," Chu Zongge stretched out a finger and rolled up her green silk. "You can't leave me. I can't live without you."

Xue ronghua's eyes were full of brilliance, lowered his voice and said, "I won't leave you, but don't let me down, otherwise I can't guarantee what I will do under disappointment."

Chu Zongge smiled, "I won't let you down."

Xiyu brought a cup of green tea. "Xiangwang, it's time to have lunch. Do you still drink tea?"

"What's the matter with tea? Tea can be done at any time," Chu Chengxun looked down the corridor and saw the overlapping shadow. "Besides, lunch is still early. The two don't know when to arrive."

"The relationship between Duan Wang and the princess is really good," Xi Yu sighed. "It would be good if Xiang Wang could find a wife as smart as the princess, so there would be no need for slaves to take care of it."

"What?" Chu Chengxun raised his eyebrows. "Do you feel powerless to take care of the king?"

"That slave didn't dare, but that day the emperor also asked about the king's life and said he wanted to find one for the king. Didn't the king have any idea?"

"I don't have any idea, but two words don't follow," said Chu Chengxun. "The emperor doesn't care about my life, but as a brother, he didn't ask a word when I was in Xirong. How can he be so concerned today."

"That's what the slave wants. If the king doesn't care, he'll make it clear to the emperor earlier. Be careful that the emperor forces people to come over."

Chu Chengxun looked at a pair of beautiful people under the corridor, "their feelings are still good. They haven't been married for so many years, but they haven't dispersed at all. If someone else changes, even if his wife can't drag them over, there will be several concubines in the concubine room."

"It can be seen that the princess has the means to make Duanwang dare not take a concubine, so he can only wait for himself to be willing."

"I don't think it's a matter of means, but Duanwang sincerely loves the princess," Chu Chengxun lowered his eyes and smiled on his lips. "I envy them very much. They are really a pair of beautiful people."

Xiyu said with a smile: "the prince is very brave. He doesn't let the emperor interfere in his life. Now he admires Qiduan Wang and the princess. If the prince really plans to get married, he should meet more ladies in Kyoto."

Chu Chengxun clenched his lips and said, "whatever his business, I just want to stay in the palace."
