White Hedge Dream

Chapter 101 Invitation

Chunyue Chunhong and the two maids moved the mats and tea sets that were originally prepared in another place, and watched Zhuang Li sit down with nervous and worried expressions.

Zhou Jingyun also sat down together and continued to hold her shoulders.

"I..." Zhuang Li squeezed out a smile. He wanted to say that I was fine, but she was indeed fine. Saying that she was fine would not comfort everyone. "I have an old illness from before."

Zhou Jingyun looked at her pale face, feeling regretful and self-blame.

Zhuang Li rarely goes out, which shows that in addition to his status as a fugitive, there are also physical reasons.

It was he who insisted on taking her out because he wanted her to see the beautiful scenery of the capital.

But this was just what he thought, and he didn't consider whether she wanted it or not.

Well, to be precise, she was willing to come out because he wanted to think about it.

Although Zhuang Li didn't know that Zhou Jingyun was thinking tongue twisters, he could still see his remorse and regret.

"Actually, it would be fine, if the prince hadn't brought me out, if I hadn't played the flute." She said with a smile, "I didn't know I still had this hidden danger."

She meant it.

It's been a long time since she could tell the difference between reality and fiction.

At first, when I was young, I was confused because I didn't understand my own weirdness. I could enter other people's dreams, but I couldn't help but transform my dreams. I didn't know if it was really an illusion.

After following Mr. Zhuang and his wife, they taught her to recognize herself and stabilize her soul, so that this situation would no longer occur. Until she learned that something had happened to the Bai family, she sacrificed her life and trudged home in a dream, falling into a maze and unable to wake up. .

After Mr. Zhuang and his wife woke her up, her vitality was severely damaged, her mind was unstable, and she often couldn't distinguish between reality and reality.

But by the time Zhou Jingyun came to the academy, she was already much better.

And these few times I fell asleep, nothing happened.

Therefore, he did not listen to Mrs. Zhuang's instructions, and something went wrong.

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's okay, just find out, she will pay attention to herself and be vigilant.

"Young lady, tea." Chunyue said with a worried look.

Just as Zhuang Li was about to reach out to take it, Zhou Jingyun had already taken it and handed it to her mouth to feed her.

Zhuang Li was a little amused, but he didn't refuse. He drank tea one sip from his hand.

"I drank tea and took a rest..." she said.

"Stop talking." Zhou Jingyun interrupted her, "Save your strength to recuperate."

Look at Jiang Yun again.

"Go and ask if there is a doctor nearby."

Jiang Yun accepted the order and was about to leave when he was stopped by Zhuang Li.

"It's really unnecessary, I am a doctor myself..." She said, looking at Zhou Jingyun again and holding his hand, "I know my own situation, you believe me, I cherish mine very much."

Zhou Jingyun looked at the little hand holding his own.

Although the hands are a little cold, they are very strong.

He nodded and signaled Jiang Yun to step back.

"Okay, let's rest here for a while." He said, letting Zhuang Li lean into his arms and asked, "Would you like something to eat?"

Chunyue said hurriedly: "I brought snacks made at home."

Zhuang Li said, "I want to eat carrot cake."

Chun Yue hurriedly responded and went to get snacks with the maids.

Zhuang Li leaned in Zhou Jingyun's arms and asked, deliberately changing the subject, "Did I play the flute well just now?"

Zhou Jingyun nodded: "It sounds good." He added, "When you feel better, I will play the piano and flute with you."

He really can play the piano, Zhuang Li thought, and hesitated slightly. Could it be that she also had such expectations in her heart?

The maid heated up the carrot cake on the small stove, and Chun Yue brought it over with a plate and an extra plate of candied fruits.

Just as Zhuang Li was about to start eating, Jiang Yun's voice came out, "Who is it?" At the same time, a male voice came out, "We are from Princess Jinyu's Mansion." "But the Crown Prince Dongyang?"

Princess mansion?

Yes, when I came here, I heard that the princess was worshiping Buddha at Lingquan Temple, so Lingquan Temple will not open its gate these days.

The people from the Princess Mansion cannot be ignored.

Zhou Jingyun signaled Jiang Yun to let him go.

Two young servants with handsome faces walked up the winding mountain road and bowed respectfully when they saw Zhou Jingyun and his wife sitting on the floor.

"Sure enough, it's the Crown Prince and the Young Madam." One person said, his eyes falling on the flute placed on the felt cushion. "Princess Shicai heard the sound of the flute, like fairy music, which made people look for it. It turned out to be the Crown Prince playing it." "Sure enough, the Crown Prince is playing it." An immortal can play fairy music." Another person followed with admiration, "If you can hear the prince's music, you will have no regrets in this life."

Compared to the rude steward of the Shangguan family, these two servants serving the princess were extremely pleasant and pleasing to the eye.

Zhou Jingyun did not say who played the flute, but only said with a smile: "I went to the mountain to enjoy the plum blossoms today. I'm sorry to disturb the princess."

The two servants hurriedly said no in unison, their eyebrows filled with admiration and their intention: "The princess would like to invite the prince to the temple to meet her."

Zhou Jingyun didn't even think about the princess's invitation: "Thank you very much for your kindness, princess. It's just that my wife has just recovered from her illness and it is inconvenient to stay outside for a long time. We are going back now and will visit the princess another day."

refused.

He refused without hesitation.

The smiles on the faces of the two servants froze.

This is a princess invitation.

The princess's invitation is both an honor and a command.

Dongyang Hou Shizi flatly refused.

"This, this, Crown Prince..." a servant stammered.

Another servant tried hard to think of a solution: "Is the young lady in poor health? The princess is bringing the imperial doctor with her, and we just happen to go together..."

Zhou Jingyun said: "My wife also knows medical skills, and she helped my aunt with her illness before. Now that I can take care of my body, I won't bother the imperial doctor." Seeing that the two servants wanted to talk, he said directly, "You don't need to be embarrassed, just do it." Just go back to the princess as I say."

He said and smiled.

"The princess and I have known each other for a long time. The princess is often by the late emperor's side and knows my temper. She will not blame you."

After saying this, Jiang Yun also stood up and extended his hand to the two servants to invite him: "Please."

It's like he will drive them away if you don't leave.

The two servants had no choice but to leave. They walked to a higher place and looked down again. They saw figures moving in the forest. Sure enough, a group of people from the Dongyang Marquis Mansion were packing up and leaving.

They tremblingly relayed Zhou Jingyun's words to Princess Jinyu.

Princess Jinyu, who was sitting in the Buddhist hall, snorted coldly.

"You're trying to criticize me," she said.

The two servants lowered their heads and trembled, waiting for the princess's anger, but someone laughed on the side.

"The prince still has the same temper. In the past, he would leave at the last minute in front of the late emperor, and would not come even if he said he couldn't come."

The two servants looked up slightly and saw that the man sitting next to the princess was similar in age to the consort, but his appearance was very different.

But the princess, who always judged people by their appearance, still let him sit next to her.

This is because he has a guqin on his knees.

The court musician at that time was Shen Qing, the number one piano player who only played for His Majesty.

After listening to Shen Qing's words, Princess Jinyu thought about it, yes, this boy Zhou Jingyun relied on his beauty and very arrogant temper. The late emperor never gave him any trouble. Now the emperor also wants to give him the treatment he received back then to show that he is a filial son. , is not an evil king who killed his father and usurped the throne.

Forget it, if she makes things difficult for him, Zhou Jingyun will definitely dare to sue the emperor, and the emperor will definitely scold her again.

She had been scolded by the emperor three times in this short period of time, and she was completely embarrassed.

"Whatever he wants, he doesn't know what's good or bad." She cursed, looked at the two servants kneeling on the ground, and asked curiously, "Is Zhou Jingyun's new wife good-looking?"

The matter was revealed like this. The two servants were overjoyed and rushed to answer.

"Female and delicate, cherished by the prince."

"Yes, even when she was talking to us, she was held in the arms of Prince Zhou."

Looking back at this moment, the woman was leaning on Zhou Jingyun's arms, looking at them casually and curiously, with the red white-collar hood covering her head like a cute little rabbit.

Princess Jinyu snorted and was too lazy to ask again.

"I originally wanted the princess to listen to a piano and flute ensemble, but I can only wait until next time. Let me play a solo for the princess." Shen Qing gently stroked the strings, and the ethereal sound of the piano sounded in the Buddhist hall, " The princess is the most noble woman in my great Zhou Dynasty, and I hope to use her power to regain the favor of the Holy Emperor. "

Whether it is a piano and flute ensemble or a piano solo, it actually doesn't matter to Princess Jinyu. She is not interested in music, music, or dancing, but she likes to hear Shen Qing's last words.

At that time, Empress Chiang was just a commoner woman, but she was of imperial blood. Naturally, she could also achieve the power that Empress Chiang could do back then.

"Come on." She said with a smile.
