Chapter 159 Face to face
Chapter 159 Face to face
The spring flowers blooming on the branches are fresh and fragrant, but this fragrance also has a unique charm.
The eldest prince Fu Lilu was gradually attracted by the scent that seemed to be unscented by ordinary people, and unknowingly followed the master and servant down the mountain.
"Who are you?! Why are you following my girl?!"
The gentle scolding was like a wake-up call to Fu Lilu, and he looked back, breaking out in a cold sweat. Unknowingly, he had walked so far out of the temple alone.
"Changkong, don't be rude."
The fragrance was so refreshing that Fu Lilu couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Changkong felt disgusted when he saw the eldest prince being so reckless, but the show had to go on, so he said, "Miss, this man has been following us all the way."
Fu Zichan saw that Fu Lilu was in a daze and knew that the medicinal fragrance had taken effect. He was not a real girl and did not feel that he was being treated with contempt, so he was just content in his heart and kept thinking.
"I'm sorry, I... I just smelled the fragrance of flowers, so I came all the way from the temple, but I didn't mean to offend you, beautiful lady." Facing the beauty, Fu Lilu was certainly not as arrogant as before. After taking another closer look, he found that the woman looked familiar.
"So it's you..." Fu Zichan's eyes sparkled. He had been a man before, a powerful man at that. Naturally, he understood men's minds better. After meeting her twice by chance, even if he had doubts in his heart, he would always have some genuine feelings for her.
Of course Fu Lilu recognized the woman's voice. After all, the private workshop was so special, and he naturally remembered the woman who brought him into the private workshop deeply.
He subconsciously tried to find some accessories on his body that would reveal his identity. The last time he hid his identity, he subconsciously didn't want to be exposed.
He wanted women to like him, but he also didn't want women to look at him differently just because of his power. He always felt that even if he was poor and destitute, women should still treat him sincerely. Fu Zichan had this idea when he was young, but as he gained real power, he no longer worried about it.
But he didn't expect that Fu Lilu was still so "stupid" at this age, or maybe it was because of the empress that the eldest prince had a hard time.
"He is not a bad person. He probably just likes to enjoy the scenery. Changkong, let's go back." Fu Zichan turned around.
Fu Lilu was anxious when he saw Fu Zichan was about to leave. He quickly made an excuse and said, "It's still early. I didn't have time to thank the girl last time. This time..."
"I promised my father that I would be home early when I left home today. If I were late, he would be worried."
Seeing that Fu Zichan was not really reluctant but really wanted to leave after being cautious, Fu Lilu felt a little more favorable towards him.
"I just want to ask you, young lady. I've been to the private workshop several times before, and the servants there seem to be very familiar with you. I wonder if you and Zheng Hanlin are..."
After Fu Lilu came back from the private workshop, he immediately asked someone to investigate the details of the private workshop, but found out that the owner of this private workshop was just a small Hanlin. Thinking of the court's evaluation of this person as a gigolo, Fu Lilu looked down on him, but he did not expect that Zheng Hanlin actually had such an interesting daughter.
"It's not too late, please wait for me, young lady. I have some food I want to give you. It's not a private exchange..."
"Cousin! This girl is..."
There was only a stairway in front of the temple on a small mountain path. Princess Qingping was on the top and Fu Zichan was on the bottom. Fu Lilu stood on a few steps above Fu Zichan and they were stuck in a stalemate for a while.
Fu Zichan looked up and recalled the last time he saw this girl, which was a few years ago. She was very young at that time, but she was very dignified and followed the Grand Princess all day long like a little tail.
Looking at her now, this girl has grown up, and the anxiety that was once hidden in her eyes is gone.
"It seems that the young master has an appointment. I won't disturb you and will leave first." Fu Zichan waved his sleeves lightly, and the fragrance became stronger.
Fu Lilu felt so elated that he even grabbed Fu Zichan's sleeve without caring about his appearance.
"Oh! Let our girl go... How can you..." Seeing this, Changkong was about to slap Fu Lilu's hand. The prince's guards who were hiding around also hurried over.
"I'm sorry, it's my cousin's fault. He has a pure heart and seems to really want to make friends with you. I think this is not the first time you two have met." Qingping raised her hand, and the princes and guards dispersed aside. It was obvious that these people respected Princess Qingping as the mistress.
In such a comparison, Fu Zichan is like a street flower, not worth mentioning.
"It's just a chance meeting, and we both want to go home." Fu Zichan has been married and has countless concubines around him. Qingping is still a little naive, and he wants to act like the mistress right from the start. It's a pity that his goal has never been to fight for the harem.
"Miss, are you here at the Daughter Temple to seek marriage? Do you have someone you love?"
How could Qingping let this strange woman leave so easily? Even though she knew the eldest prince's character very well and she and the eldest prince were not in love with each other, she could not let anyone occupy the eldest prince's heart before she got married.
As expected, Fu Lilu looked at Fu Zichan and his mood turned cold.
"My dream lover? I don't really have a dream lover. I just heard from others that the scenery here is very beautiful, and I can pray for my daughter's health, so I came to take a look."
Fu Zichan said casually.
"Pray for good health? I didn't know there was such a prayer in the Daughter Temple. I was ignorant. In the end, marriage depends on fate. It's not right if it comes too early or too late.
Who will be tied to whom by this red thread? Fate is hard to come by, and if I ruin the fate of others, I will surely ruin my own virtue."
Qingping's words were quite harsh, and even Fu Lilu frowned.
The aggressiveness is so great, it seems that the eldest princess is very eager to marry the eldest prince.
Fu Zichan was not in a hurry either. No matter how good the relationship was, it could not be controlled by drugs. As long as she held this man's hand, Princess Qingping could only shout a few words here.
"That's right, fate... who knows who will be with whom in the end?"
"Miss, are you from another place? It's already late. If you want to go back, you'll probably have to travel at night."
Qingping had seen many women in her life, but she was the only one as scoundrel as Qian Qiansui. But even after hearing such a penetrating statement, the girl opposite her still seemed to not understand. It was unclear whether she was truly naive or pretending to be innocent.
"That's right. It's time for me to go back, sir. We're just casual acquaintances. I don't need your thanks."
After leaving these words, the veiled girl floated away with a fragrance all over her body.
Attracted by the fragrance, Fu Lilu stood on the steps and watched the people go away, his heart beating fast.
