Chapter 578 Swing
Yunyao stepped forward and took a look. The top one was a copy of "Annan Medicine Classic". She picked up the book and flipped it down. There was a box inside, which was filled with various medical books.

Some of the covers are very old and simple, and I don’t know where they were collected from.

It can be seen that a lot of effort was wasted.

Yunyao was stunned.

Xiao He murmured: "What does Major General Chen mean by this? Could it be that he wants the princess to fail in studying medicine, ah! I know - it was that time in the palace, when the lady read the "Compendium of Materia Medica"."

At that time, the book fell, and Yunyao even jumped down to pick it up in a hurry.

So Chen Wenshuo thought that Yunyao liked medical books, so he sent him such a big box?
"..."

Yunyao was silent.

She stood in front of the box for a moment, then walked back to her bed, took out a small box from the side of the pillow, opened it, and took out the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that had been dried and bound again.

The book fell into water and was later dried.

Yunyao ironed, smoothed and bound it again according to the method taught by Chen Wenshuo, but there were still some traces of water, which was different from truly flat paper.

Yunyao's slender white fingers caressed it, remembering that day Chen Wenshuo fished books from the river for her.

She raised her eyes and fell on the box again.

A simple hosta lies quietly in the box.

This was the hairpin that Chen Wenshuo used to unseal the book. He said he wanted to return it, but he never thought about it, so he conveniently put it with the book.

"Stupid girl, you don't even know you are being cared about."

"Is Chen Wenshuo really that free? So free that he can always play around in the capital with the Ning brothers and sisters?"

"Whoever Chen Wenshuo likes must marry... Mom really can't let you go!"

Zhang Liangdi's words kept echoing in his mind.

Yunyao really hasn't thought about who she wants to marry.

Her mother said she would keep her for one or two more years, so she thought she still had some time, which could at least allow her to sort out her mood and remember the things she couldn't ask for before facing someone new.

But the truth has to be faced so quickly.

Or... him.

Holding the "Compendium of Materia Medica" tightly, my mood gradually became complicated and hesitant.

*
Yunyao didn't go out for several days.

Miss Ning handed over a post to invite her. If she had gone to the appointment before, she would have gone to the appointment without saying a word, but now that she knew that the Ning family helped Chen Wenshuo make an appointment with her, she became resistant and refused to go.

Just half a month passed like this, and after the Ning family invited her three times and she didn't go out, Chen Wenshuo had someone pass a letter in, inviting her to listen to the show.

The East Palace is heavily guarded, and if this letter was able to reach Yunyao's hands, it must have passed through the clear path.

Yun Yao thought of her mother's words. She must have thought that her father was also happy to see the matter between him and Chen Wenshuo come to an end, but he didn't talk about it now.

Half a month has passed, but she still doesn't know what to do.

She thinks Chen Wenshuo is quite a good person.

Just being awakened by her mother about Chen Wenshuo's intentions made Yunyao a little afraid.

There is still a shadow in her heart.

Although she knew that nothing would happen between her and that shadow, if Chen Wenshuo proposed marriage, the palace would definitely issue a decree to marry him, and she would still have no choice when the time came.

She also knew that she could not change anything no matter how long she stayed in the East Palace, confused and hesitant.

But still choose to hide here.

She thought that when things came to a head and she had no choice anyway, she would just bite the bullet and move forward.

But it's not that time yet. She can choose to stay in the East Palace and not go out or face it.

Zhang Liangdi felt complicated when she saw that she hadn't gone out recently, but she was always happy if her daughter could spend more time with her. After all, she didn't know how many days she would be able to accompany her in the future.

When Yunyao came back from having dinner with Zhang Liangdi, she habitually took out the "Compendium of Materia Medica".She now knows the book by heart.

I also copy this book when I am bored.

In fact, at the beginning, I read and copied this book because of the subtle girl's thoughts and longing for the people related to this book, but now it seems to have become a habit.

A habit as natural as eating and drinking.

Xiaohe brought the two maids to serve tea, and then helped Yunyao grind ink and cut out the heart of the candle.

The room was very quiet, except for the rustling of the brush on the paper and the occasional crackling of the candlelight.

After more than half an hour, Xiao He couldn't help but said: "Princess, take a rest for a while, be careful with your eyes."

"Ah."

Yunyao responded lightly, finished inking the page, put down the pen, and carefully folded up the paper she had written silently.

Xiaohe thought to himself: The princess has written more than a dozen books of "Compendium of Materia Medica" from memory.

She follows Yunyao closely, so she naturally knows what Yunyao is thinking.

But that person, Xianyun Yehe, was destined to only hide it in his heart.

Xiaohe sighed secretly and stepped forward to help Yunyao clean up.

After sorting out the papers, Yunyao took the original copy of "Compendium of Materia Medica" and put it in the box beside the bed. When she was about to get up, she saw the hosta in the box again.

After a moment of silence, Yunyao took out the hosta, slowly left the room, and sat on the swing, shaking slightly.

Xiao He stood behind, "Princess, may I help you push?"

"no need."

Yunyao didn't want to play on the swing, she was just bored, so she just stayed here for a while.

She was holding the swing vine and playing with the simple jade hairpin in her hands. Her eyes were so quiet that it was hard to tell what she was thinking.

There was a very light sound of clothes breaking in the wind beside the wall.

Neither Yunyao nor Xiao He knew martial arts, so they didn't hear it.

There was a tall figure standing in the darkness in the corner of the wall. He raised his finger and a stone flew out and hit Xiao He on the shoulder. Xiao He suddenly seemed to be stuck, with his mouth slightly opened and he stayed in place.

The tall figure came out of the darkness.

Xiao He's eyes moved rapidly, full of anxiety, but he was unable to make a sound.

But when she saw the man's face, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

The dim yellow lantern in the corridor swayed gently in the wind, and the light and shadow shone on the man's strong-profile face, which was clearly Chen Wenshuo.

This guy actually dared to visit the East Palace at night.

What a guts!
Chen Wenshuo slowly walked towards Yun Yao. His steps were very light and almost silent. Yun Yao didn't know that there was someone behind him.

Chen Wenshuo stood behind Yunyao.

He made several appointments with Yunyao through the Ning family, but failed to make an appointment. The letters he sent himself also failed to come to fruition. He had no choice but to make this decision.

But now that people are here, standing behind Yun Yao, he doesn't know how to speak.

After hesitating for a long time, Chen Wenshuo gently pushed the swing.

Yun Yao said softly: "I told you not to push, but you still push...forget it, just push."

Chen Wenshuo was about to stop after hearing the first half of her sentence. Unexpectedly, she said the second half of her sentence. Chen Wenshuo pushed the swing silently while thinking about how to speak.

Yunyao was still holding the hairpin in her hand and playing with it, swinging neither too high nor too low.

She turned her face casually, but was suddenly shocked——
