He ignored Tang Zhizhi and bounced a few steps back towards Zhou Kuangzheng and his wife, saying, ”Miss Yuan, you didn't go to the palace today with a headache. You were better tonight, so you accompanied your highness and the princess to Lord Zhou's mansion for dinner. I'm afraid you've gotten another headache.” He then turned to look at Tang Zhi Li. ”Your Highness, look …”
”Since it's a headache, I might as well go back!” If he really were to enter the Imperial Uncle's estate and be recognized by others, it would be difficult for him to step down from the stage, so he didn't have to make things difficult for him. He then said lightly to Tang Zhi, ”Let's go in ourselves!”
Zhou Quheng and Madame Zhou were secretly nodding their heads. When His Highness had gone to Nanchang, he had met this round girl a few times and had expected to have some ties with her. Today, she had a headache, but didn't go to the palace. Instead, she accompanied His Highness to the Imperial Uncle's estate for a banquet. This was a rare occasion. Hearing Jiang Huashan's words and looking at the message, they felt that something was wrong. They hurriedly said, ”Since you're not feeling well, send it back as soon as possible. Have a doctor take a look.
Jiang Hua An and Shen Wishui thanked him and helped him into the carriage. The two guards then walked back. Along the way, he said, ”Tang Zhili isn't too bad. I'll just let Brother Shi walk to the entrance!”
”Only Lord Zhou and Madame Zhou saw you. They saw Sister Yuan again on a different day. If you have any doubts, you can only say that the lantern hanging at the entrance of the mansion tonight is not very bright.” Do not admit that you changed your appearance. ” He nodded his head, put down the carriage curtain, and turned back to Shen Wansan. ”Tang Zhi Li and Tang Zhi Qi love face, so naturally, they are unwilling to say that they were cheated a few times by Brother Ci, who will naturally not say anything about what happened tonight.” Now we can be at ease! ”
Just as they arrived at the entrance of the inn, Jiang Huaguang took out a small cloak and peeked outside. Seeing that they had returned, he let out a sigh and said, ”Sister Yuan told Brother Ci to pretend to have a headache the moment she arrived at the entrance. She said that she didn't need to enter the Imperial Uncle's Mansion, and would be back in a short while. I was still muttering about whether Tang Jingli would let me pass or not, and didn't expect to be back so soon. ”Brother Ci is different from before. If someone sees you changing into a disguise, how can you put on your face?” As he spoke, he lifted the curtain of the carriage and took down his congratulatory words. He put a small cloak over the carriage and poked him in the back, saying, ”The moment you leave the carriage, Sister Yuan will be restless. She will wait for me with the cloak in her hand. Go in and change your clothes. It's a shame to be dressed like this. Don't let the other girls see it. ”
When He Yuan heard the congratulatory speech and came back, he heaved a sigh of relief. After he changed out of his men's clothing, he looked around and said, ”It's still men's clothes that are pleasing to the eye. Wear my clothes and look at that uncomfortable feeling!”
”Wear your clothes, and feel like you can't get out while holding it in your chest.” He drank a few mouthfuls of tea and leaned back on his chair, saying, ”Sister, make that puzzle and send it back to Tang Zhi. We won't meet again if there's nothing else.” It's been a hell of a night for me. ”
As he was speaking, Jiang Huagang came over to call for a meal with He Yuan. He smiled and said, ”The senior servants have served the other girls. Only Sister Yuan and I were not in the mood to eat. We were waiting for you guys to come back. We're all starving.”
By the time the three of them arrived at Jiang Huanan's room, it was already time to eat. However, they had already forgotten about Shen Wansan. As soon as they asked him, it turned out he had something else to leave for. Seeing that there was no one in the room, He Yuan stood up and prepared to serve them food. ”Everyone has a pair of hands, so they want to eat and drink the soup. Let's do it ourselves.”
Jiang Huagang had long since scooped up a spoonful of rice for himself, and seeing that the congratulatory speech had also finished, he laughed heartily and said: ”We eat in the mansion, so we usually do it ourselves. When I went to other residences, I was bored by the sight of the food that the girls served. The food that was carried around had already become cold and tasty. I really didn't know what was going on. That time when I was eating in your house, I saw a little girl giving you old grannies food and carrying a ball down to the ground. When you old grannies raised your eyes, that little girl was so scared that her face turned white. You old ladies laughed. ”Who knew that after the meal, your old lady wanted to send me that little girl? I hurriedly said that I had already started eating by myself, and didn't use any food for the little girl. That's what I had to say.” Everyone laughed at his words.
When He Yuan arrived at the general's mansion, he saw that they were all serving their own food and soup, and did not need to be served. Aside from the old nanny who was cleaning out the rooms for them, there was not a single girl around them. She frequently ordered the servants to run errands. When they met, they would serve their own meals and sit down in peace.
After holding the bowl of rice, Jiang Hua An turned around and saw that He Yuan had not even filled his bowl. He reached out his hand, grabbed her empty bowl and placed it in front of her.
”Eh, Brother An, your act is too full!” When He Yuan saw the bowl of rice Jiang Hua-an had prepared for him, with a large piece sticking out of the middle, he felt that whether he ate with chopsticks or a spoon, the rice grains would fall onto the table. He couldn't help but be a little dazed. Sure enough, he had to prepare the dishes himself.
Jiang Huanan picked up his rice bowl and started to eat. He saw He Yuan's left hand holding a spoon on a piece of fish and the chopsticks in his right hand picking off the spring onion. He couldn't help but ask, ”Sister Yuan, don't you like eating spring onion?” En, this time when I return, I might really be going to the mansion to propose to them. It would be good to know more about her hobbies.
He Yuan smiled and said, ”This fish needs to be boiled with ginger and scallions in order to smell good. But unfortunately, I don't like eating ginger and scallion. I have to take these with me every time.”
Jiang Hua An nodded his head, took a piece of fish and looked at it. Seeing that there were no scallions on it, he put his hand into the bowl.
With an extra piece of fish in the bowl, He Yuan paused for a moment and then lowered his head to eat the fish. He didn't dare to look up at everyone's expressions. Jiang Huaguang and the congratulatory speech had already seen it. Unexpectedly, both of them remained calm and composed. However, when they lowered their heads to eat, the corners of their mouths twitched.
