Time is slow

   Chapter 543 Anger

  Three days later, Princess Zhenzhen carefully washed off the ointment that had been applied on her face overnight, and sat in front of the vanity mirror.

  Yingyin's long fingers as white as jade stroked her cheeks, Princess Zhenzhen asked the maid who was serving her uncertainly: "Is the color of the scars on Ben Gong's face lighter?"

  The maid nodded again and again.

   "You didn't lie to Ben Gong?" Princess Zhenzhen still couldn't believe it.

   "The slave does not dare to deceive His Highness, your face really looks much better."

   "So, does that ointment really work?" Princess Zhenzhen's tone became eager.

   "It works, it works. Your Highness, don't worry, your face will definitely return to its original state." Gong Mai couldn't help her voice choked as she spoke.

   Ever since Her Royal Highness the Princess was disfigured, I don’t know how many days and nights I have been sleepless all night, and they are also unhappy when they are seen as slaves.

   "Why are you crying, Ben Gong's face isn't ready yet." Princess Zhenzhen's tone could not hide the trembling.

  The maid hurriedly wiped her eyes: "Yes, yes, yes, wait until Your Highness is healed and the maid will cry again."

   Princess Zhenzhen glared at her: "What stupid thing you said! Quickly take the sign of this palace and go out to invite Miss Li San."

  The palace maid took the order away, Princess Zhenzhen sometimes stared at the mirror, sometimes touched her face, and heard another palace maid announce that Jiang Shiran was coming, and hurriedly invited her in.

   "Really, let me see if Li San's ointment tube is working." Seeing Princess Zhenzhen's face, Jiang Shiran paused and hesitated, "It seems to be getting better."

   "Are you sure?" Princess Zhenzhen wanted to get approval from her friends.

   Jiang Shiran was embarrassed: "It's not easy to be sure, and it's not obvious."

   Princess Zhenzhen looked disappointed.

   "I'll take a closer look." Jiang Shiran looked closer.

   Princess Zhenzhen forcibly restrained the urge to dodge and let her look at it.

  Jiang Shiran watched for a while, her eyes lit up: "Here is the place below the corner of your left eye. I remember there was a shallow scar, but it's gone now!"

   Princess Zhenzhen suddenly grabbed Jiang Shiran's hand: "You found it too?"

   She never dared to say it, for fear that it was her own delusion, which would completely extinguish the hope that quietly rose in her heart.

   Jiang Shiran nodded fiercely: "That really works."

   Seeing her friend's happy expression, Princess Zhenzhen suddenly covered her face and cried bitterly.

   "Really, don't cry, you should be happy, your face is saved. By the way, didn't you say that Li San will enter the palace today?"

  Princess Zhenzhen wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "I have already sent someone to invite it."

   However, the news brought back by the maid was disappointing: "Miss Li San went out early in the morning and hasn't returned to the house yet."

  Jiang Shiran couldn't help but get angry: "Really, didn't you say that Li San told you to apply the ointment for three days in a row, will she adjust the usage for you according to the situation? Why is she hiding now when the time is up?"

   "Maybe she is really in trouble." Princess Zhenzhen smiled reluctantly.

   "Huh, she obviously doesn't take you seriously. Let's go, she won't come, let's find her!"

  Princess Zhenzhen saw that the ointment was working, and was so anxious that she hesitated a little after hearing Jiang Shiran's proposal, and then agreed to go out to the palace after asking the queen mother for instructions.

  The carriage drove towards Xingzi Hutong, and Jiang Shiran complained all the way: "Really, do you think my father is a villain, why is Li San confused?"

"I do not know either."

  Jiangtang is the commander of Jinlinwei, the emperor's number one confidant, and Princess Zhenzhen will not comment any more.

   "She must be misbehaving!" Jiang Shiran pouted and pulled out a post from her sleeve to show Princess Zhenzhen.

   Princess Zhenzhen was puzzled: "Why did Liuxinghou Mansion suddenly hold a flower viewing banquet?"

  Jiang Shiran snorted coldly: "That's why I said that she has a problem. The flower viewing banquet in the Marquis of Xingfu was held because of her."

   After Jiang Shiran finished telling the story, Princess Zhenzhen was stunned: "Is there such a thing?"

   "More than that, my father also said before that the champion Hou takes special care of Li San."

   Princess Zhenzhen was startled, her tone was a little strange: "Champion Hou?"

  Jiang Shiran didn't notice it, and said to herself, "Yes, I've never seen a girl's family hook up like her—"

   Before he finished speaking, the carriage suddenly jolted violently, and the two of them staggered around in the carriage, screaming in fright.

   "What's going on?" Jiang Shiran asked angrily.

   "The horse was suddenly startled." The guard replied.

   "Why is Ma Haoduan so frightened? Could it be that he didn't check before leaving the palace?" Jiang Shiran asked.

  Princess Zhenzhen cast her eyes into the distance, staring at the back of a horse riding away without blinking.

   That person seems to be the champion—

   "The horses used by Your Highness have been carefully checked and there are no problems."

   The figure disappeared from her sight, and Princess Zhenzhen held back her strange eyes and asked inadvertently, "Did someone pass by just now?"

   The guard's eyes flashed: "I remembered it, but after the man passed by, the horse was suddenly startled."

   "Don't talk nonsense!" Princess Zhenzhen's face sank, "Continue on your way."

At the fork in the road, Shao Mingyuan tightened the reins, and the horse under his crotch stopped.

   He turned his head and glanced at Xingzi Hutong, his face covered with frost.

   It turns out that all the ladies are talking about it behind their backs!

   Passing by that carriage, he didn't care at first, but his ears were too good, so he was a little more sensitive to the word "Champion Hou", so he heard so few words.

   Three and four?

   Thinking of others putting this evaluation on Qiao Zhao's head, Shao Mingyuan felt a pain in his heart.

   Such a soft knife that kills without blood falls on Zhaozhao, how should she live?

   Shao Mingyuan hurried to the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion, who had only hurried to invite Ann once since returning to Beijing.

   "Master Hou, Second Young Master is here."

  Jing'an Hou Yi heard a happy expression: "Quickly invite the second son in."

   After a while, a young man wearing a black cloak walked in and said hello to the Marquis of Jingan: "Father."

  The Marquis of Jing'an was obviously very pleased with Shao Mingyuan's arrival, and asked in a warm voice, "Didn't you say you've been busy these few days, why did you come here when you have time?"

   Shao Mingyuan took off the cloak and threw it to the servant, and said straight to the point: "Father, I am delighted with a girl, and I would like you to propose marriage for me."

   "What?" Jing Anhou thought he had not woken up yet, and his gentle voice changed.

  The son didn't think about the father's feelings of being swept by the hurricane at all, and said without changing his face: "The son wants to marry a daughter-in-law."

  Jing'an Hou nodded stupidly: "Ah, it's a good thing to have a wife, it's a good thing."

  What is this kid Mingyuan talking about? Why can't he understand?

   "Thank you, father, then."

   "Thank me for what?" Jing'an Hou was still in a dream.

   Shao Mingyuan smiled slightly: "Didn't you agree to propose marriage for your son?"

   "Ah." Jing An Hou nodded and was stunned.

  Wait, when did he agree?

   I didn't have dinner yesterday because of coding, so I ask Yunji and Niuniu to bring me back with food. After looking around for two hours, they brought me back two rice **** and a bowl of shredded lettuce mixed with shredded carrots without any seasoning!
