As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 577 Gifts
"I, I'm back." Yun Yao lowered her eyes slightly and said, "Today's show was great and the food was delicious."

Chen Wenshuo nodded: "As long as you like it."

The coachman drove the carriage over. Chen Wenshuo watched Yun Yao get on the carriage and sit firmly. He then rode beside the carriage to escort her all the way to the outside of the East Palace.

After Yunyao got off the carriage, Chen Wenshuo stepped forward and said, "I have prepared a gift, which should have been delivered to your courtyard. I hope you like it."

Yunyao was stunned for a moment, "It's... what kind of gift?"

"You'll know when you see it."

"……All right."

The two said goodbye to each other, and Yun Yao took her maid Xiao He into the corner door of the East Palace.

As soon as he entered, he heard an anxious voice coming from the side, "Oh, my princess, you are back. Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time. Come on over!"

When Yunyao saw that she was the nanny next to her mother, she said "Ah" anxiously, "Does mother have something to do with me?"

"Why not?"

The old nanny came forward and held Yunyao's arm, and said as she walked forward: "I wanted to find you just after noon. You went out. I thought you would come back in the evening. Who knew it was so late? Hurry up, my wife. The wait is imminent.”

"it is good!"

Yunyao immediately quickened his pace.

After arriving at Zhang Liangdi's place, Yunyao saw the food on the table at first glance. It was already cold.

Zhang Liangdi was leaning on the imperial concubine's couch in the back room. When she saw Yun Yao coming quickly, still out of breath, her beautiful and graceful face showed a bit of helplessness: "Do you still know to come back?"

"Mother!"

Yunyao quickly stepped forward and sat beside the couch, "I-I didn't know you were waiting for me to have dinner."

"fine."

Zhang Liangdi sat up, held her daughter's hand and said, "What did Yaoyao do today?"

"Listen to the play."

"with who?"

"and……"

Yun Yao pursed her lips and said obediently: "He, and Major General Chen..."

Then seeing Zhang Liangdi narrowing her eyes slightly, Yun Yao quickly added: "It was Ning Qi who asked me out at first, but after I went there, Ning Qi was not there. It was Major General Chen who was there."

"He said that Ning Qi had something to do and couldn't come, and he was afraid that I would go out alone. It happened that he had time, so he went..."

"Silly girl." Zhang Liangdi sighed: "He grew up in the military at the border. Can he understand the babbling songs of the opera troupe? He won't go to the theater when he has time."

Yun Yao opened her mouth, "He, he can't understand? Then what is he going to do?"

"Is this the point?" Zhang Liangdi sighed again, poking Yunyao's forehead with an unyielding hatred, "How come Chen Wenshuo has no time for others, but he has time for you?"

"Do you really think that Chen Wenshuo is so free? He can always play around in the capital with the Ning brothers and sisters? You, you, you don't even know that someone is thinking about you?"

Yunyao's eyes widened, "I, I... Mother, are you thinking too much?"

Zhang Liangdi looked at her helplessly.

Yun Yao was speechless and bit her lip tightly. She suddenly remembered that when she was in Lan Kwai Fong, Chen Wenshuo seemed to have his head lowered all the time, or occasionally looked at her.

At that time, she only thought that because the position she was sitting in was facing the direction of the stage, he was watching the show.

In addition, Chen Wenshuo seemed to have gone with him to the recent outings and poetry gatherings with Ning Qi and others, but he basically did not participate. He always stayed close to him.

And that moment on the bow of the ship... Yun Yao thought of the steady and strong hand on her wrist, the refreshing scent of acacia in her breath... her fair and tender face suddenly turned red.

"Hey……"

Zhang Liangdi sighed helplessly, "You stupid girl."

Yun Yao bit her lip for a while, looking at Zhang Liangdi shyly and confusedly, "Then, what should we do?"

Zhang Liangdi saw the shyness in her eyes and the blush on her face, and knew that her daughter had a good impression of Chen Wenshuo.

In fact, Zhang Liangdi also had a good impression of Chen Wenshuo.

I just have an opinion about Northern Hebei.

It's too far.

But the prince is happy to see it come to fruition, so what if she is reluctant?

Zhang Liangdi suddenly felt sad.

She held Yunyao in her arms and said softly: "You are my mother's baby."

In those years, she had not thought that she could give the prince another son, and she would have something to rely on in the future, but it was a pity that her fate was like this, because many of the concubines in the Eastern Palace were infertile, and everyone suspected that the prince had a health problem.

Therefore no one dared to say anything.

Zhang Liangdi couldn't ask for it, so she finally accepted her fate, thinking that it would be nice to have a caring little cotton-padded jacket like her daughter.

Who would have thought that when her daughter was grown and about to get married, she would be cared about by someone so far away.

Zhang Liangdi sometimes regrets why she didn't arrange a marriage for Yunyao early last year... In fact, she also considered several young men last year, but she always felt that no matter how good those men were, they would not be willing to let their daughter get married so early.

As a result, after waiting and waiting until now, we have reached this state.

Yunyao felt her mother's reluctance and couldn't help but say: "He... cares about me, and it has nothing to do with me."

"Silly boy."

Zhang Liangdi said helplessly: "Mother protected you too well, why are you so naive? He is not an ordinary young master from the capital, he is the future head of the Chen family. Do you still remember that year, the entire Chen family villa was massacred and died? Did he kill more than a hundred people and even Chen Zhiyuan of the first house was killed?"

Yunyao said: "I remember, but what does that have to do with me?"

"Yes, it has nothing to do with you directly, but it has something to do with the royal family. Because that matter was done by your Uncle Liang Wang, and because your eldest brother ruined Chen Shulan's marriage... the royal family feels guilty towards the Chen family."

Zhang Liangdi murmured: "Whoever Chen Wenshuo likes must marry... At the Hua Chao Festival banquet in the palace, my mother and your sister-in-law were supposed to choose a wife for Chen Wenshuo, but he chose you."

Yunyao's head was buzzing.

Zhang Liangdi sighed again and again, "Mom really can't let you go."

When Yunyao returned to her courtyard, she was still in a daze and had not yet recovered.

She thought she and Chen Wenshuo just met by chance, but she didn't expect that he "selected" her. All the encounters he had had were intentional.

There were not many concubines and children in the East Palace, and her living environment was very simple since she was a child. As a result, her temperament was simple and naive, and she was a little confused for a while, not knowing how to react.

The maid Xiao He said: "Princess, this box should be a gift from Major General Chen. It's so big. I don't know what it is. Do you want to open it and take a look?"

Yunyao lowered her head and saw that it was a box made of huanghuali wood.

She thought for a moment and said, "Open it."

Xiaohe took two little girls to open the box, and saw that there was a box full of books inside.

Xiao He was surprised: "Why did Major General Chen send books to the lady? What kind of books are these?"
