Chapter 225 The Legend of Zhen Huan Original Female Lead 8
He walked into Chu Huan's boudoir, only to see her sitting at the table with a copper candlestick above her head and a plate of finely chopped herbs beside her, as if she was healing a wounded rabbit.
Her face was full of care and gentleness like a spring breeze, which made Neqin feel warm in his heart.
"Father." Chu Huan turned around when she heard the voice and saw Neqin. A hint of joy appeared in her charming eyes.
"My Huan'er is a kind girl." Nianqin's eyes were full of approval. He walked to Chu Huan and asked the servants behind him to put down the fruit.
"Father, what is this?" Chu Hua certainly knew what it was, but in the context of the time, most of these fruits were tributes, so she had naturally never seen them before.
Nianqin placed the fruit box on the table and said softly, "This is a reward from the Emperor for Father Ma. Father wants to share it with Huan'er."
Only he understood the meaning of the flash in his eyes.
Chu Huan picked up a fruit and scraped off the skin with a dagger, gradually revealing the tender red flesh.
She fed the first one to Nianqin's mouth, and Nianqin ate it with tears in his eyes.
She peeled another one for herself: "Father, this fruit is so delicious! The emperor really values me!"
Chu Hua smiled and continued to eat the fruit in her hand. The sour and sweet taste just now had already flowed back to her heart, but the lingering fragrance on the tip of her tongue almost made her intoxicated.
After hearing her words, Nianqin paused for a moment, then nodded and smiled, "Well, it's a reward from the Emperor. As long as Huan'er likes it, it's fine."
Chu Hua didn't seem to notice Nianqin's gaze, and just enjoyed the fruit in front of her contentedly. Looking at her naive appearance, Nianqin couldn't help but think of her childhood.
If Chu Huan looked at him intentionally or unintentionally at this moment, she would definitely see the tears flashing in his eyes. He held her slender hand and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Huan'er has grown up."
Recalling the past, Nianqin suddenly said these words, and the little girl seemed to appear in front of him, running towards him and calling him "Ama".
Time flies, as if everything just happened yesterday, but time is unforgiving. The little girl back then had a childish smile on her chubby face, but now she has grown into a young girl and is about to get married.
Although Huan'er knew nothing yet, she had no idea that she was about to be taken advantage of by an old black pig with gold edges.
Thinking of this, Neqin couldn't help but feel deeply moved. In her boudoir, he was dazed for a moment.
Inside the Yangxin Hall.
"Have you seen Gege?"
Su Peisheng half bowed and answered respectfully: "No, Master Neqin said that the princess is still taking a nap."
Hearing this, Yinzhen, who was originally reading memorials at his desk, gently stroked the Buddhist beads on his wrist, frowned slightly, and a trace of obvious loss appeared on his originally serious face.
"Forget it, the weather is getting colder, so don't bother her."
The emperor sighed, his fatigue barely concealed in his tone.
Seeing this, Su Peisheng stole a glance at the emperor and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty works hard every day reviewing memorials, why don't you leave the palace tomorrow?"
Hearing this, a subtle glimmer flashed in Yinzhen's eyes. Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at the expectant Eunuch Su, saying in a deep voice, "I am indeed tired these days."
Leaving the palace to relax might be a good choice for him who works at his desk all day.
Concubine Su is worthy of being Concubine Su. Yinzhen sneaked out to follow the girl just yesterday, how could he have forgotten about her?
Su Peisheng nodded respectfully, wondering where the emperor was going, but added, "Tomorrow is the day of the temple fair in the east of the city, and there should be a lot of people going."
After saying this, a secret smile flashed in his eyes.
He had followed the emperor for many years, so he was naturally able to judge the strange emotion that flashed in the emperor's eyes when the temple fair was mentioned.
"I heard that... young ladies who are waiting to be married will also go there..."
After hearing this, Yinzhen's eyes flashed with excitement, and he immediately turned around and said, "That's settled. Tomorrow I will go to see the temple fair in the east of the city and experience the life of the people in the capital."
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, as if he couldn't wait to witness the lively scene of the temple fair with his own eyes.
Su Peisheng rolled his eyes in his heart, he could see Yinzhen's undisguised love for him.
I thought to myself, "Your Majesty, could you please stop smiling so obscenely? Your thoughts are almost written all over your face."
However, he still looked respectful and loyal and said nothing.
After dinner the next day, Yinzhen left the palace in plain clothes and took Su Peisheng to the temple fair in the east of the city.
He was dressed in plain clothes and holding a folding fan, trying his best to make himself look like an ordinary citizen.
He walked among the bustling crowd at the temple fair, looking around as if looking for something.
"Your Majesty, I heard that many young ladies came to pray at the temple fair today. Do you think you would like to..."
Before Su Peisheng finished speaking, he saw Yinzhen's gaze suddenly fixed on the front, and he couldn't help but look in the direction he was looking.
Not far ahead, a woman was smiling and selecting small accessories from a stall. She was wearing a moon-white Qi dress and a small vest, and she had an outstanding temperament, like a fairy. It was Chu Hua.
Chu Hua was holding an exquisite embroidered purse in her hand and bargaining with the stall owner.
Her lively eyes and slightly upturned smile attracted the attention of the men around her, and even the stall owner lowered the price involuntarily.
"This purse is really exquisite. I wonder if it can be cheaper?" Chu Hua asked with a smile, her voice as clear as a silver bell.
The stall owner was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You are so discerning, young lady. I made this purse by hand, and it is already the lowest price. However, since you are so beautiful, I will give you a discount of two cents."
Chu Hua nodded with satisfaction and took out a small piece of silver and handed it to the stall owner.
"Girl, you...I can't find it." The stall owner was a little troubled.
"Your purse is very much to my liking. No need to change it."
"Then why did you bargain just now?" the stall owner seemed a little puzzled.
“It’s fun. This is a process…”
While putting away her purse, she continued to stroll among the stalls with her maid, her eyes occasionally lingering on some novel little gadgets.
Yinzhen watched in fascination, secretly admiring Chuhuan's intelligence and cleverness.
She really has many advantages waiting for him to discover, and he really likes this little girl more and more.
In order not to attract attention, he followed her quietly, keeping an eye on her movements.
The crowd at the temple fair gradually increased. Chu Huan was concentrating on watching an artist's acrobatic performance and was unaware that someone was silently guarding her behind her.
The colorful balls thrown by the artists drew arcs in the air, attracting waves of cheers.
Suddenly, a sneaky figure squeezed out of the crowd and approached Chu Huan. Yin Zhen's eyes fixed on him and he immediately realized that the man had bad intentions.
