Chapter 57 The world is hot and cold

Chu Chaoyang lowered his eyes and asked lightly, "Really?"

Mrs. Gu couldn't figure out what Chu Chaoyang was thinking, so she didn't say anything, just sat silently.Chu Chaoyang picked up the book to read again, and said, "Let someone prepare hot water."

Hearing this, Gu's heart was overjoyed, if he wanted to prepare hot water, then Chu Chaoyang would definitely have to rest here today.

After Chu Chaoyang had bathed, Mrs. Gu wiped his hair with a handkerchief, as virtuous as before.Seeing what she said was listened to by Mrs. Gu, Madam Du immediately brought a few maidservants out of the house, and ordered more hot water to be prepared so that the master would not need to use it. She herself stood guard at the door, ready to listen to orders at any time .

After that, Chu Chaoyang rested in his own room, not only Gu's brows were filled with joy, but also the maids in Gu's room were also bright.Although Gu's family is the main family and there are no concubines to do evil, the prince will inevitably be criticized if he stays in the study for a long time.Now that the husband and wife have resumed their previous relationship, it has dispelled the suspicion of the people below.

Only the maid in Chu Liangrao's room was a little bit aggrieved. Since the prince saw Gu's doing such a thing to suppress the princess, he should have left her in the cold for a few more days. How could he just get out of the princess and reconcile with the princess? What?Chu Liangrao didn't take it seriously, she knew that Chu Chaoyang was caught in the middle, but she didn't know how to tell these maids, so she simply didn't say much.

On the surface, the palace was peaceful, but there were rumors outside that the fifth prince, Mu Mengchen, was furious because of his perverse behavior. He knelt in front of Qiankun Hall for half a day, and was finally carried back to the mansion.Afterwards, news spread that Mu Mengchen was grounded, but no one knew what he had done, which made the emperor, who had been turning a blind eye to him, furious.

Chu Liangrao felt quite sympathetic when he heard this. Although she has not been grounded, she is still not allowed to go out for various reasons. No matter how big the palace is, it is inevitable to get tired of watching it every day, let alone Mu Mengchen who is restless by nature. .

Thinking about it, Chu Liangrao posted the first post of this year.

"Princess, I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate..." Ding Xiang persuaded, "The Holy Majesty is still angry at the moment. Wouldn't it be insulting to visit the Fifth Prince at this time?"

Mother Du also said: "Ding Xiang is right, it is indeed inappropriate to go at this time."

It was just that the time was wrong, but he didn't say he couldn't go, so Chu Liangrao put the post on the table.

It has been snowing for several days, and the snow has stopped this day, so Chu Liangrao sent someone to send the post that had been left out for a few days, and sent a servant to say hello to Gu Shi .

Compared to the fact that Chu Liangrao only let a servant pass on the message, Gu was more concerned about how Chu Liangrao and the five princes got together again. If there was something between them, wouldn't it be another matter that he planned Wasn't it?After thinking about it, she sent a few guards to go with Chu Liangrao.

Chu Liangrao didn't refuse, and brought him along the next day, and asked Ding Xiang who stayed in the mansion to inform the old lady.

Sure enough, when the old lady heard about this, she felt that something was wrong, and when she was about to send someone to persuade Chu Liangrao, she only got the news that the princess had gone out.Looking at Ding Xiang with lowered eyebrows, the old lady sighed slightly, and let Ding Xiang go back without saying anything.

When the carriage from the palace arrived, Xiao Zuozi ran out like a gust of wind, and made a big salute to Chu Liangrao.

"Princess Ning'an, it's great to have you here. Ever since..." Little Zuozi bit his lip, he continued, "It's been a long time since no one came to visit us. Those people on weekdays keep saying that they are willing to serve His Highness. There is a sea of ​​fire below the mountain, but now there is no one in sight."

Hearing Xiao Zuozi's complaint, Chu Liangrao only said: "The world is so hot and cold." Then he asked, "Is Your Highness feeling better?"

With a look of worry on his face, Xiao Zuozi said, "I feel better, but I don't have much appetite to eat."

It's not that I don't have an appetite, it's obviously a hunger strike, but since I've been fine for so many days, it can be seen that I'm not really hungry.Chu Liangrao nodded slightly, and followed Xiao Zuozi into the Zhumen.

Xiao Zuozi led the way and said, "Your Highness will be very happy to know that the Princess is here."

These words made Chu Liangrao slightly surprised, she asked: "Your Highness, doesn't he know?"

Seeing that he had slipped his mouth, Xiao Zuozi looked embarrassed, and said falteringly: "I want to surprise His Highness, so I didn't let the butler say anything."

A little eunuch can support the housekeeper, so it can be seen that this little Zuozi is not simple.

Chu Liangrao nodded slightly, and didn't ask any more questions.

Going around the Chaoshou verandah, Xiao Zuozi stopped and said to Chu Liangrao: "Princess, please wait a moment, I will go in and let you know." After saying that, he walked into the house in three steps at a time. Then came a frenzied voice, "I don't see you! I don't see anyone! Where did you go early in the morning? Only now do you know you're here?"

The four guards following Chu Liangrao looked at each other, but saw that Chu Liangrao was still standing upright, without showing the slightest expression of fear or annoyance, they had no choice but to continue standing with the uneasiness in their hearts suppressed.

There was a sound of ping-pong tiles breaking, Xiao Zuozi came out in embarrassment, and said very ashamedly: "Your Highness is not feeling well today, Princess, please go back."

Chu Liangrao came here to convey a heart, since people don't appreciate it, there is no need for her to put on a shy face and stick to people's cold ass.Seeing that Xiao Zuozi was in trouble, she said: "Since His Highness is not feeling well, I'd better not bother you. This is a small thing. Take it to relieve His Highness. I will come back when he is in a better mood."

Hearing that the lord is coming again, Xiao Zuozi's face froze, and then he took a small box from Ding Lan's hand and said, "I will give it to the princess."

"No need." Chu Liangrao smiled slightly, "You'd better go down with His Highness, and also, this thing must not be put away." Chu Liangrao pointed to the box in Xiao Zuozi's hand.

Xiao Zuozi responded, and called Ah Zhong to send the princess back, and then went back into the house holding the box with extremely cold tentacles.Hearing that it was Chu Liangrao who brought the gadgets to relieve himself, Mu Mengchen said awkwardly: "You bastard! Since Ning An is here, why don't you know?"

"The little one was about to say it, but His Highness won't let Xiao Zuozi say it..." Xiao Zuozi asked with a look of grievance, "Why don't you call him back now, little one?"

"Forget it, I'm leaving now, so stop barking, and show me the things." Mu Mengchen said lightly.

"Yes." Xiao Zuozi then put the small box in front of Meng Muchen and said, "The princess also said that I can't help putting this thing away."

"It's so mysterious, what could it be?" Meng Muchen opened the box while talking, without any intention of avoiding Xiao Zuozi. When he saw the things in the box, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, "Just These?"

Little Zuozi poked his head for a look, and said, "No wonder it's so cold, it turns out it's really ice."

The box was closed with a snap, and Meng Muchen lifted it up and was about to throw it on the ground. Little Zuozi was taken aback, and was about to persuade him, when he saw Mu Mengchen put the box down, opened it and looked at it for a while before saying, "Trust me!" Put it in the ice cellar, if there is a little bit missing, you are the only one to ask."

The box was just a few small ice cubes filled with various fruits. At first Mu Mengchen felt that Chu Liangrao was belittling him, but soon he came back to his senses. It was such a cold day that even the palace You may not be able to eat such a complete set of fruits. Grapes, strawberries, and lychees look beautiful frozen in ice cubes.

"Your Highness, won't you eat it?" Xiao Zuozi asked doubtfully, "After all, it's the Princess' wish."

"Eat your head! You know how to eat! Go do something." Mu Mengchen angrily referred Xiao Zuozi to the door, turned around and closed the door, blocking the wry smile hanging on his face, and muttered softly, "Ning An sent it to you." What can I eat..."
