Doctor Liao and the gardeners arrived at Jian Jingzhai almost at the same time, and Su Fengyi accompanied General Shen into the main house.

When Doctor Liao was examining Shen Quan's injuries, bursts of clanging sounds of bamboo being chopped were heard outside the house.

When the princess said she wanted to cut bamboo, she naturally couldn't wait for a moment and had to cut it right there and then.

Luqing and Baiguo had just said bad things about Prince Consort Pei behind his back and were caught in the act. Most people would have been embarrassed, but Luqing had a very good attitude and her face didn't even turn red.

She even saluted Pei Yu calmly and said:

"Master Pei is here. Master Pei invites you to have tea."

Then he really brought tea to Pei Yu and said with a smile:

"I prepared this specially for Lord Pei. Try it while it's still hot. Do you like it?"

Bai Guo was shy and felt embarrassed to say bad things about others behind their backs, so he hid behind Wu Tong and asked in a low voice:

"Since the dragon scale bamboo was planted by His Highness specifically for Prince Consort Pei, isn't it inappropriate to cut it down in front of Prince Consort Pei?

Isn't this a slap in the face? Isn't it better to wait until he leaves before chopping him?"

Wutong deliberately said loudly:

"I have to chop him in front of him, secretly. If he doesn't see it, then it will be in vain."

Bai Guo really wanted to kneel down to Wu Tong, and hurriedly pulled her clothes:

"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down!"

Pei Yu was sitting in an armchair under the eaves, leisurely drinking the cup of tea that Lu Qing brought him.

Well, very good. This tea is obviously prepared for him with great care.

The heavy and turbid smell of this tea is probably older than he is. It is incredible that this girl could find such an aged tea from the wealthy house of the Princess's Mansion.

Also, the temperature of this tea is almost the same as that of boiling water used for slaughtering pigs. It must have been brewed quickly while the water was boiling and then rushed to the table. If it had been slower, it wouldn't have been this hot.

The most outrageous thing was that the girl served him tea but didn't give him a table or a chair to sit on. She forced him, a young man from an aristocratic family, to stand under a tree and drink a bowl of scalding hot tea like a village idler.

As soon as he "fell out of favor", he was prepared to suffer a heavy loss. He was the son of the Pei family and was flattered by everyone wherever he went. When did he fall to such a despised state?

Why didn't he realize before that the Princess's Mansion was so interesting?

Gu Yu, the servant behind Pei Yu, looked at the cup of tea his master was holding and said worriedly:

"Sir, please stop drinking, what if it's poisoned? Oh, sir, please stop laughing, how can you still laugh? We are almost chased out by these girls with sticks.

It would be so embarrassing for a young master of the Pei family to be beaten with a big stick. If it gets out, people who don't know would think we have done something shameful. "

Guyu was really worried to death. Just now, when he went to move a chair for his son to sit on, he was glared at by the eldest princess' maid. How could his son still sit still when she looked so obviously disdainful?

Pei Yu drank the tea slowly, not complaining about the poor taste of the tea. He looked at the clusters of cut dragon scale bamboo and said with a smile:

"After cutting it like this, it looks quite open and has a sense of sudden enlightenment, which is nice."

Guyu didn't understand what the meaning was, so he just said:

"It's finally been chopped off! To be honest, every time I walked here before, my calves would tremble and I would have nightmares when I went home at night.

Sir, you said this bamboo forest, I don't know where the princess moved it from, how come it looks so similar to the dragon scale bamboo in Nanshan Temple? It's especially bright green.

Every time I pass by here, I will think of my childhood in Nanshan Temple, when I accompanied the master to see the dragon-scale bamboo and bit our bowl-sized bamboo green snake.

Look at the pattern of the dragon scale bamboo, it is exactly the same as the snakes wrapped around it, who can tell the difference? It scared me to death. Amitabha, I finally cut it down.

Oh my, how could this Princess Mansion be so unrefined, breaking ground in the middle of the night without even checking an auspicious time, and just moving the stone slabs here..."

Wutong did everything in a very precise and complete manner. Su Fengyi explained three important tasks in just a few words: cutting bamboo and laying stones for General Shen to practice martial arts.

Therefore, not only did the bamboo have to be cut on the spot, but the stone slabs had to be laid overnight, so that when the eldest princess woke up tomorrow, she would be able to see that the martial arts arena had been built and would not have to wait any longer.

Wutong not only asked the gardener to cut bamboo, but also asked the bricklayer to pick out various bricks and stones from the warehouse for General Shen and the princess to see.

Wutong asked the bricklayer to select a piece of each stone, clean it, and then carry it into the main room. He arranged them one by one according to size and color for Su Fengyi and General Shen to see:

"Your Highness, General Shen, I wonder what kind of stone should be used for this martial arts arena. We have blue bricks and wenshi in our mansion. We have various colors and thicknesses, all of which are sufficient.

If we use blue bricks and terracotta stones, we can start construction tonight and finish it tomorrow.

In addition, there are some gold bricks left over from the previous construction of the palace, but there may not be enough gold bricks, so I am afraid it will not be completed today. I have to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get more tomorrow, and then I can finish the construction tomorrow."

Su Fengyi didn't know what kind of stone to use to build the martial arts arena, so she asked Shen Quan:

"General Shen, what do you think?"

Just now, when the princess asked us to cut bamboo, Shen Quan remained silent and just watched the fun silently. This was because he had already seen Prince Consort Pei.

As soon as the eldest princess arrived, Prince Consort Pei arrived, but the two of them didn't speak to each other.

Shen Quan couldn't help but think about this scene, so Shen Quan, who had a first-class imagination, immediately thought of:

"It's probably because the Princess and Prince Consort Pei are having a quarrel or a cold war. The bamboo-cutting thing is just angry talk. It's better for outsiders like us not to get involved."

Su Fengyi asked him to come in and let Dr. Liao take a look. He also went in immediately, thinking:

"Could it be that the Princess is going to put on a show to annoy her husband? I am a part of this show. Fine, fine, I will act out this show with Your Highness."

As a result, now that the bamboo was really cut and the stone slabs were really found, Shen Quan realized that something was wrong. The princess was serious!

He really wanted to build a martial arts arena for himself, so he cut down the bamboo planted for Prince Consort Pei in front of him.

The determination in his expression is truly moving.

Could it be that Shen Quan suddenly had an epiphany? Could it be that the eldest princess still had that kind of intention towards him?

Otherwise, how could her actions make sense?

So what should he do?

Shen Quan had never thought about this before, and when he suddenly thought of this, he became really panicked and anxious. His calm exterior was shattered into pieces in an instant under this panic.

Shen Quan hesitated and stammered:

"Your Highness, don't be impulsive. I, I, you, you and Prince Consort Pei..."

When Su Fengyi heard Shen Quan mention Prince Consort Pei, she finally remembered that she seemed to have made an appointment with Pei Yu to come to her house, but she had completely forgotten about it.

Su Fengyi immediately stood up and said:

"Wutong, is Lord Pei still here? Please invite him to my study for tea. I have something to discuss with him."

Then he said to General Shen:

"General Shen has full authority over what stone to use. Have a good rest. I have guests, so I'll leave first."

The eldest princess came and went like a gust of wind, leaving without any regrets.

It turned out that I was just a part of their play!

General Shen's heart, which had just been beating wildly, suddenly fell to the ground, shattered into pieces and became cold.
