The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

Chapter 17 Meeting Chen Shu for the first time
  It's autumn, and the red leaves are like fire.

On this day, Wen Jiu was napping in the room when he was suddenly woken up, bleary-eyed.

"Girl, Madam said she wants to see you." Zi Su said cautiously.

Wen Jiu sat in front of the dressing mirror with a sleepy look on his face and let Zisu and Banxia clean up.

"The weather is so nice." Wen Jiu couldn't help but sigh as he stood in the courtyard, the sun shining through the fine air.

When walking through the garden, there is generally no shelter everywhere, and the wind gradually blows.

"Girl, be careful of catching a cold." He put the cloak in his hand on Wen Jiu, "The girl is in good health, and the whole house is happy for the girl."

"Then let dad pay more for this year's silver reward, and everyone will be happier."

Wen Jiu couldn't help but smile, then turned around and ran out.

"Girl, be careful!" Zi Su shouted hurriedly.

"Oops~" Wen Jiu covered his head and was suddenly knocked awake. When was there someone at this corner?
  Chen Shu subconsciously stretched out his hand to support her. The five fingers that had been holding pens all year round supported her arm, which was strong and strong.

The vague warmth from her palm seemed to burn her, and she raised her eyes to look at the person who collided with her.

"I'm so arrogant, please forgive me." He quickly let go of his hand and bowed, without making any sound, even a little cold.

I saw this man with a cold face and a tall and straight posture.

Although he apologized with his hands in hand, he remained calm and composed, even though the people around him were panicking.

"It's okay, I was rash." Wen Jiu's heart was beating so fast that he was even speechless.

"Girl, do you need to see a doctor?" Zi Su took a step forward, with some anger in her tone.

When can the Wen Mansion allow foreign men to come and go? He even bumped into his own girl.

"It's okay, let's go." Wen Jiu covered his head and hurriedly walked to Mrs. Wen's room.

After hearing the footsteps walking away, Chen Shu raised his head. Women in this dynasty value honor and integrity the most. Although they don't know who is bumping into them, they should not look at anything inappropriate.

"Sir, there is no need to panic. The girl just now is the only girl in our house. She is the apple of my master's eye. She has always been kind to others and will not embarrass you." The boy who was leading the way saw that Chen Shu looked calm on his face, but he didn't know. Whether it's true or not, he said carefully and comfortingly.

"Thank you, little brother." Chen Shu's tone was neither humble nor overbearing, but the corners of his mouth were not as straight as they were just now.

"Who is that person?" Wen Jiu caught the servant who was about to serve tea in the study and asked.

"Girl, that is Mr. Chen Shuchen, the master's disciple." The boy glanced at the figure not far away, lowered his head and replied.

"How come I've never seen it before."

"Young lady, you don't know something. Mr. Chen has just been transferred to Beijing."

"That's right." That cold and aloof figure flashed through Wen Jiu's mind again, and his heart skipped a beat.

In Chunhuayuan, autumn is in full swing.

"Mother, why did you call me here?" As soon as Wen Jiu walked into the courtyard, he saw Mrs. Wen sitting in the courtyard.

"Jiu'er, Prince Yong'an has sent us a greeting card, inviting us to come over and enjoy the chrysanthemums. You..."

"Mom, do you still want to ask me about this? Of course my daughter won't go." When had Wen Jiu been to these banquets?

"In the past, you were not in the capital, but this time the sixth princess will also go. I thought you two were childhood playmates, and now that you are back, you can go there."

"You also said that she was a childhood playmate. Now she is the most favored princess. She has many playmates."

"Well, if you don't want to go, I won't force you." Mrs. Wen motioned to the servants to bring over the stewed pear and red date tea, "Drink some pear water before going back. It's the season change and it's easy to get angry. .”

"Thank you, mother." Wen Jiu's smile was more beautiful than the flowers in the courtyard. It was already evening when we came back from Mrs. Wen's courtyard, and Wen Jiu was a little tired.

"Girl, the concierge said there is a letter from you." Banxia held a yellow envelope in her hand.

"Mine?" Wen Jiu has never exchanged letters with others, and the master will not take the initiative to write to him.

She walked to the desk with a puzzled look on her face and opened the letter.

"Find a way to get into the palace."

Wen Jiu frowned slightly, "Lu Xu?"

What kind of big joke is this? I have always been a marginalized person in the capital, but I am actually asked to find a way to enter the palace?
  She was just about to tear up the letter when she saw there were words on the back.

"Otherwise, there will be consequences at your own risk."

Okay, okay, Lu Xu, you are really good! Wen Jiu laughed angrily, "My life is really going to be ruined by you!"
  Wen Jiu crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it on the ground.

He had been pretending to be sick for half his life, but now it was better. Lu Xu was eager to tell the world that he was not sick!
  Wen Jiu secretly made up his mind not to be manipulated by Lu Xu!

But this determination lasted only one night
  Early the next morning, she hurriedly ran to Mrs. Wen's courtyard under the pattering autumn rain.

"What? Are you going again?" Mrs. Wen held the teacup, not knowing whether to drink or not.
  "Mom, my daughter has been thinking about it all night. The sixth princess treated me very well when she was young. I have to go to this chrysanthemum appreciation feast!"

She looked like she was willing to die generously. People who didn't know better thought she was rushing to the battlefield to rescue the princess.

Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen looked at each other. Are they not awake?

"What? Daddy and mother think our daughter" Wen Jiu pretended to be aggrieved.

"Oh no, no, no, that's very good, very good." Mrs. Wen came back to her senses first.
  The couple looked at each other again, what kind of drama was this?
  Soon it was time to appreciate the chrysanthemums, and the royal family of Yong'an Palace was full of holy family members, which was certainly no better than ordinary people.

Wen Jiu followed Mrs. Wen and quietly raised his eyes to look at the autumn scenery in the garden.

You can see wind pavilions and waterside pavilions everywhere, as well as flowing cups and winding marshes. Girls from various families watch fish and flowers, laugh and have fun. It's so lively.

"I was just thinking about why you haven't arrived yet, and I kept thinking about you before you came." The visitor was Princess Yong'an, the hostess of Yong'an Palace. She had always been on good terms with Mrs. Wen. Both of them were born in the four major aristocratic families. In the past, Also moves around a lot.

The princess had sharp eyes and immediately saw Wen Jiu standing behind.

She was wearing a long white cloud silk dress and a misty yellow haze outer garment. Her hair was delicately pulled back, and she was rocking with tassels in her hair. She was very refined.

"Is this Jiu'er?" Princess Yong'an was quite surprised.

"Yeah, I haven't been out for a long time. Let's take her out today to see something." It's been a long time since she was taken away by Quanzhen Sanren, and she has never been out again. "Jiu'er, I haven't met the princess yet."

"Wen Jiu has met the princess." Wen Jiu bowed Yingying, a faint smile appeared on his fair face, vaguely shy, his bright eyes were clear, and there was a spiritual aura.

"Very good, very good! Now that you are in good health, your mother is less worried!" Princess Yong'an took Wen Jiu's hand affectionately, "You, you, it's better not to go out. I'm afraid this trip will take a long time." How many ladies have been suppressed!"

It's a pity that I agreed to this, otherwise many princes and nobles would have to compete with each other.

"Princess, you are honored." Wen Jiu lowered his eyes. The young lady who came to the banquet today is either rich or noble. How can these words be taken seriously.

"Go and play with them quickly. They are all in the garden. You young people should get together more often." Princess Yong'an motioned to the nanny beside her to lead Wen Jiu to the garden.

"Mother."

"Go ahead and have fun."

With Mrs. Wen's permission, Wen Jiu obediently followed her to the garden.

Just as he approached the garden, he heard inappropriate taunts.
