rebirth will be hard to find

For one meal, Li Lin ate to his heart's content, Chu Yi ate gracefully and calmly, only Cheng Zian ate carefully - she had been observing Chu Yi, but Chu Yi ate calmly on his own, even if he found out that she was looking at her His gaze was only returned with a questioning look, and then he wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, thinking that his face was stained with rice grains or soup...

How did Li Lin know that she likes me? !Cheng Zian almost observed the whole meal time, facing a table of delicacies from mountains and seas, he couldn't eat it, but he could only give up in frustration in the end.

In fact, this group of people did not stay at Cheng's house for a long time. Chu Yi gave a gift when they came, and chatted with the two elders for a while after dinner.She did a good job of etiquette, from the beginning to the end, she did not put on an air of arrogance when facing Cheng Zian and the others. After some time getting along, it was obvious that Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng liked her quite a lot.Seeing that it was later, Chu Yi also left contentedly.

Cheng Zian was in a state of confusion at the moment. In fact, he really wanted to stay and discuss a countermeasure with his mother and grandmother, but if Chu Yi wanted to leave, she had no reason not to follow.It's just that as soon as she followed Chu Yi and the others to the gate, she heard Madam Cheng suddenly shout behind her: "Ah Jie, wait a minute."

The group stopped, and Cheng Zian thought that his mother had seen what was on his mind and thought of a way to keep him alone, but when he turned around, he saw Mrs. Cheng walking over by herself.Knowing that she had guessed wrong, she took the initiative to ask, "Is there anything else Mother can order?"

Mrs. Cheng took out two exquisite sachets from the sleeve, and when she walked up to Cheng Zian, she stretched out her hand and hung one on his waist for him: "To drive away evil spirits and avoid plague, I thought you would not come back today, but I forgot about it for a while." .”

Madam Cheng personally made the sachet for the Dragon Boat Festival every year. Cheng Zian reached out and touched the sachet, feeling a little warmth in his heart, but finally put aside all his worries and smiled lightly: "Thank you, Ma'am. "

Hearing this "A Niang", Mrs. Cheng was stunned for a moment.However, she still remembered that the yard was full of people, so she quickly restrained her emotions. She just reached out and touched Cheng Zian's long hair that was hanging down her back, without saying anything.

There was a scorching gaze that suddenly came over. The female family members of the Cheng family were also martial arts practitioners, and Mrs. Cheng noticed it all at once.She turned her head to look, only to find that it was Her Royal Highness who was staring at... the other sachet in her hand?

That's right, Mrs. Cheng prepared two sachets, but the other one was obviously not for Chu Yi.A few days earlier, Cheng Zian sent word to someone that he wanted Li Lin to accompany the princess to play in the capital during the Dragon Boat Festival, so he might not have time to go home.Mrs. Cheng prepared the sachet just because they might have time to take leave before returning to the palace, so she prepared it for the two juniors, but who knew that Her Royal Highness would come here in person!

His Highness heard that she has been living in the cold palace, and her mother died young, so I am afraid that no one will prepare a sachet for her...

Mrs. Cheng was a little soft-hearted by Chu Yi's gaze, but she only prepared these two sachets. If they were given to Chu Yi, what would Li Lin do?He probably doesn't have time to go home today, and this kid has always been on good terms with A Jie.

For a moment, Mrs. Cheng felt a bit in a dilemma.

Although Li Lin is often unreliable, he is actually an understanding character.He could see Mrs. Cheng's embarrassment at a glance, and Dang even blinked at her, then gestured to Chu Yi, obviously not taking this little matter to heart.

Regardless of whether Chu Yi noticed these little tricks secretly, she just looked expectantly at the sachet in Mrs. Cheng's hand.Until Mrs. Cheng walked towards her with the sachet, she seemed to hesitate, and then hung it on her belt for her: "I don't know that His Highness is coming, and I haven't prepared any gifts, this little sachet is just a thought. I also hope that His Highness will not dislike you."

Chu Yi also reached out and touched it. The stitches of the embroidery thread on the exquisitely crafted sachet were extremely fine, which was obviously a waste of thought.She immediately thanked her with a smile: "Thank you Madam, I will keep this sachet well."

It can be seen that what she said was sincere, and Mrs. Cheng nodded happily after hearing this.After the two chatted a few more words, Cheng Zian also said goodbye to his mother again, and the group left Cheng's residence.

************************************************

In the afternoon, because they were thinking about going back to the palace for a dinner party, Chu Yi and the others felt somewhat unenjoyed when they played.But this trip, eating rice dumplings in the morning and watching dragon boats, and tasting realgar wine in the afternoon and seeing Zhongkui dancing in the afternoon, is a worthwhile trip.

As soon as Shen Shi arrived, Chu Yi was watching a group of children flying kites in the open space, and the guards who followed came up to remind him: "Your Highness, it's getting late, we should go back to the palace. His Royal Highness has ordered that the dinner cannot It's too late."

Chu Yi felt a little disappointed when she heard the words, but she naturally couldn't break her promise when she agreed to the prince's words. What's more, the Dragon Boat Festival dinner was not held in the harem. The image plummeted.

Things have to be prioritized, and Chu Yi wouldn't delay the main business just because of such a trivial matter as playing.So she withdrew her gaze, responded perfunctorily, then raised her head to look at the sky, and said to Cheng Zian and Li Lin: "It's getting late, you all go back to the palace with me, I'll be with you at the palace banquet tonight." Take you there." She looked at Li Lin after she finished speaking, and added: "Li Shangshu should also go."

Cheng Zian had already returned home today, and Li Lin had no reason to refuse, not to mention palace banquets, which only ministers of the third rank and above had the opportunity to attend.If it wasn't for Chu Yi, they wouldn't know how many years they would have to survive if they wanted to get in on their own.

The young mind is always curious about these things, not to mention Li Lin, even Cheng Zian, who has always been calm, has his eyes lit up - she observed Chu Yi for a whole day, but she didn't see anything, so she let herself go Self-flowing mind.After all, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. It is useless for her to worry too much now, she might as well think about what the palace banquet will be like at night.

Neither of the two accompanying readers objected, so the group headed home.

*********************************************

In the Linzhi Hall, Zhang Dai didn't let go of his heart that had been on him all day until he saw Chu Yian come back safely.He hurriedly sent someone to Chonghua Hall to deliver a message, and then with a wave of his hand, he summoned a group of palace people to gather around Chu Yi to freshen up.

After taking a bath, Chu Yi changed into a rather solemn and formal royal costume. Seeing that Zhang Dai was still directing people to keep busy, she couldn't help but said: "It's just a dinner party, several times a year. Why are you so nervous?"

Zhang Dai looked back at Chu Yi, and first said to the maid who combed her hair: "This hairpin doesn't match your Highness's outfit today, it's too frivolous, change it!" Then he explained to Chu Yi: "Your Highness , Today is different, I heard that the Yan State sent envoys here, and they should meet at the dinner, if you don’t dress up more solemnly, you will lose your identity and dignity.”

"The envoys of the Yan Kingdom? What are they doing here?" Chu Yi was taken aback when he heard this, as there was no such thing in his previous life.

Zhang Dai was instructing people to find accessories for Chu Yi's waist. He was picky to the extreme, and he was not satisfied with the palace attendants who took care of the accessories several times.So while directing people to continue looking for suitable accessories, he shook his head and said: "I don't know, this is the news after His Highness left this morning. I was still worried that if His Highness came back late today, things would be delayed. Fortunately, His Highness came back quickly."

Chu Yi frowned, always feeling bad.

It can be said that Yan State and Chu State have been enemies for generations. In the border area, nine out of ten families have blood feuds with Yan State.If it is said that blood feuds are still far away from the Tianhuang nobles in the palace, then there was one incident that was closely related to Chu Yi.

In the fifth year of Jiaping, the State of Yan sent troops to attack the State of Chu, smashing seven cities in a row.Chu Yi dispatched 40 troops to the border, so that the domestic troops were empty, and the vassal king took advantage of the situation.Back then, Cheng Jie was guarding the northwest and had the opportunity to send troops back to fight the rebellion. However, he was held back by a sudden appearance of soldiers from the Yan Kingdom, and the capital fell quickly, so that the empress' death fell short.

All of this can't be a coincidence, it's just those anti-kings cooperating with others and seeking skins from tigers.Although Chu Yi couldn't see the final result, she still held back. Those anti-kings will always be dealt with, but the Chu State may be seriously injured after this battle.

Yan Guo has never been so easy to get along with, Chu Yi does not believe that they will send envoys here without any purpose.However, she did not have this experience in her previous life, and she couldn't guess why the other party came, but she always felt that there were some malicious intentions.

Chu Yi walked away for a while, and Zhang Dai finally found a satisfactory accessory, so he asked Chu Yi to get up, intending to put it on for her.But when His Royal Highness stood up, he saw the sachet that Chu Yi had hung up before. Although it is a commonly used accessory during the Dragon Boat Festival, it is no problem to wear it today, but the color is not the same as her current outfit Something doesn't match.

Zhang Dai didn't know the origin of the sachet, he thought it was Chu Yi who bought it outside after he went out, so he frowned, and said to the little palace lady with the waist ornament: "Your Highness's sachet comes with a There seems to be something inappropriate, why don't you take it off and put it away first."

The little maid responded, and was about to get the sachet that seemed out of place, but was held down by Chu Yi.His Highness frowned, and said with displeasure, "Don't touch my sachet!"

Zhang Dai and the little maid were taken aback, and the latter even knelt down and begged for mercy.

Chu Yi waved his hand impatiently and sent him away.Zhang Dai stood aside, looking left and right at the sachet, he found it very unpleasant, but he didn't dare to disobey His Highness's wishes, he hesitated to speak for a while, and finally swallowed the words in his mouth.

Until later, when Cheng Zian and Li Lin came, he found a sachet on Cheng Zian's waist that was almost exactly the same as His Highness...

The author has something to say: Chu Yi (tsundere): I don't care, this sachet is a pair!
