She had pretended to have a stomachache, a headache, and a cold, but he had seen through them all one by one. Even if she had really tricked herself into getting a cold, he would still be able to tell and would still let her practice calligraphy.
Zhao Chen may be gentle on the surface, but he is stern in his heart. He just looks at her calmly, which makes her lower her head with guilt, even though she doesn't know what she did wrong.
She was spoiled in the Chen family and had never been afraid of anyone, so she felt that Zhao Chen was a very powerful person who could scare her.
She didn't understand at the time that her fear was actually instinctive, and Zhao Chen's inner sternness and desire for control were already showing.
Han Youning closed his eyes tightly and said, "If you don't like it now, take it out."
Ling'er secretly felt sorry for it, but she would not go against the lady's wishes. She picked up the orchid and handed it out, saying to the driver in front of her, "Our lady can't stand the smell of this flower, so you should find a way to dispose of it."
The driver took the orchid and didn't know what to do for a moment, so he looked at Zhao Chen diagonally in front of him.
Zhao Chen seemed to have noticed the movement here and looked over. He whispered a few words to the guard Wei Xiao beside him.
Wei Xiao drove his horse over and asked the driver, "What's the matter?"
The coachman answered truthfully, "Master Wei, the lady inside can't stand the smell of this flower."
Others didn't know it, but Wei Xiao knew how precious this pot of orchids was. If the most precious object in He's house was said to be, it would be this pot of green clouds.
No matter how busy the prince is on weekdays, he has to take care of it with his own hands, sucking in the morning dew in the morning and sending off the sunset in the evening, taking great care of it.
Today, the prince put it in the carriage, which surprised him for a while.
He didn't dare to deal with it without permission, so he took the orchid and returned to Zhao Chen to report back.
Wei Xiao was afraid that the prince would not like it, so he consoled himself, "The orchids of the prince are precious. Ordinary people may have never seen them before and do not know the goods."
Zhao Chen looked at the orchid, then turned to look at the carriage for a moment, and said, "Put it in Gu's carriage."
Wei Xiao responded and left with the orchid.
He sighed secretly in his heart, this Miss Chen was also unlucky.
--
It was already noon when we set off from the pier, still some distance from the capital, and dusk was sinking.
The team stopped at a post station. Zhao Chen planned to have a meal at the post station before continuing on his way. He must get to the capital tonight to avoid a long night and many dreams.
The inn had received the news in advance and had prepared meals.
Lu Lin didn't have a chance to eat. The guards from the Anling Marquis Mansion came running to deliver a message, "The old Marquis said that if you don't go back within half an hour, there is no need to go back."
Lu Lin let out a long sigh, "What the hell is Grandpa doing again!"
The guard added, "The old Marquis said that no matter what kind of ghost it is, it depends on tonight whether your grandson can recognize it."
Lu Lin rolled his eyes, "She is the smartest!"
The guard said again, "The old Marquis said, yes."
Lu Lin was speechless and reluctantly went to say goodbye to Han Youning, "Fat girl, don't worry, I have asked His Highness the Crown Prince to take good care of you."
Han Youning frowned, wondering why this silly kid was so close to Zhao Chen, "Let's go quickly."
The chubby little face is also very cute when it frowns, and it has no lethality at all.
Lu Lin understood that the fat girl was worried about him being criticized by the old man, and was very touched. There were not many people in the world who cared about him so much!
He took one step at a time and turned back three times.
Han Youning was about to enter the inn when he saw the plump Aunt Sun coming over, holding a porcelain basin covered with cotton cloth and steaming.
Aunt Sun smiled and said, "Miss, it's a pity to throw away the chrysanthemums on the boat. The old slaves used them to make buns. The carriage is very spacious and can accommodate all kinds of kitchen utensils. It's very convenient!"
Han Youning's brows twitched and asked, "Aunt Sun, everyone from Prince Jin's Palace has returned to Beijing, why don't you follow them?"
Aunt Sun said matter-of-factly, "Old slave, I have to make buns for you! Your Majesty, he doesn't eat chrysanthemum buns either."
Han Youning blinked and was speechless for a moment.
She thought for a while and tried to reason with Aunt Sun, "But you are a servant of Prince Jin's Palace. I am an outsider and I don't always use your reasoning."
Aunt Sun leaned forward, her eyes narrowed with a smile, "How can the young lady be considered an outsider? Since she has lived in Prince Jin's Mansion, she is one of our own!"
Han Youning raised his forehead and said, "Aunt Sun, don't say such nonsense in the future."
Aunt Sun's smile became more and more profound, "Old slave, I understand!"
Han Youning sighed and stopped arguing with her about the matter. Little did he know that the management of Prince Jin's Mansion was so loose that even a servant was missing without noticing.
"Ling'er, take the buns to the car."
Han Youning gave up eating at the inn and returned to the carriage. He would have to deal with Zhao Chen at the inn, so avoid it if possible.
Ling'er responded crisply and took the bun.
Aunt Sun followed Han Youning happily, as if she was her servant.
Zhao Chen stood outside the inn with his hands behind his hands, watching the soldiers coming and going to arrange meals, but saw Han Youning avoiding him again and going to the car.
He asked Wei Xiao who was beside him, "Who is that woman?"
Wei Xiao is in his twenties, has an unremarkable appearance, and acts very securely. He has already inquired about the origins of Han Youning's entourage.
"The woman's surname is Sun. She is a cook in Prince Jin's palace. She is good at making steamed buns with flowers. Miss Chen's family loves to eat the buns she makes, so Prince Jin takes her with him, but for some reason he does not follow the carriage of Prince Jin's palace.
"
Zhao Chen stood silently for a moment, then turned around and entered the inn.
When Han Youning saw Zhao Chen entering the inn, he breathed a sigh of relief and ate his buns with peace of mind.
Aunt Sun's skills were getting better and better, and before she knew it, half of her plate was eaten again.
Han Youning hesitated for a moment, thinking that maybe he wouldn't be able to eat it anymore, so he picked up another one and started eating it with peace of mind.
Not long after, I heard someone speaking outside, "Ms. Chen."
Han Youning opened the curtain and it was Wei Xiao. They were familiar with each other in their previous life.
When she was struggling to survive in the Prince's Mansion, he secretly gave her food, and said peace in the middle, "Concubine Han, don't blame the Crown Prince, he has you in his heart. As long as you show mercy, the Crown Prince will definitely forgive you."
I hold you in my hand."
How does she surrender?
Are you turning a blind eye to the death of your father and brother?
She, Han Youning, only bends her spine when she smells the fragrance of flowers.
Wei Xiao respectfully clasped his fists and saluted, "Miss Chen, the food has been prepared at the inn. The prince invites you to come in and have a meal."
Han Youning declined him politely, "For the kindness of your Highness, I am already full, so there is no need to bother."
Wei Xiao glanced at the half-eaten steamed bun in her hand, and without forcing it, he handed it over and left.
But not long after, Han Siqi came over, making a banging sound in the carriage, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked you to come over for dinner, and you came over, why are you being pretentious here?"
What an idiot! She turned down the great opportunity to get close to the prince, making him unable to talk to the prince!
Han Youning did not open the curtain, but said softly, "Mr. Huo, it's a bit noisy, Mr. Huo."
"Chen Youning, don't scare me with a bodyguard, I can..."
Before Han Siqi could finish his words, he saw a flash of cold light, and a dart was nailed to the carriage, half an inch away from his hand.
His hands shook violently, his hands and feet instantly became sore that he could hardly stand.
He held the carriage for a while before he regained his composure and looked at Huo Shan angrily. But when he saw Huo Shan's sharp gaze, he was immediately frightened and swallowed back his curse words.
Huo Shan said in a deep voice, "If you speak rudely again, the next dart will not be nailed to the carriage."
Han Siqi left unwillingly, but he only dared to feel cruel in his heart.
Huo Shan, right? I remember, it’s never too late for a gentleman to take revenge! I’ll see you when I get to the capital!
------Digression-----
Entering Beijing soon!
