Chapter 33

Duan Yi's eyes flashed, she took the medicine in the hands of the third prince, and looked at his face enviously, "Thank you Your Highness! Your Highness, Yi has something to say, should I say it or not?"

The third prince looked at her with eyes like a wolf dog seeing a fleshy bone, and took a step back slightly in awe, "But it doesn't matter."

Although he is also a person who is as ruthless as the bottom of the pot, and is unsmiling.

But Chen Ming and Cui Zigeng gave people completely different feelings.

Chen Ming is more like a lonely flower in the high mountains, who refuses people thousands of miles away, but once you climb to the top and stretch out your hand to fold it lightly, he is no different from the wild flowers growing in the wheat field, they are all lightly broken.

As for Cui Zigeng, he is like an immovable mountain.

Standing in the shade of the mountain, no matter how much you look up, all you see are shadows that follow you everywhere, overwhelming your breath.

Duan Yi lowered her voice, as if she was talking about a secret, and said a little embarrassedly, "Your Highness is very polite, and Yi wants to be cheeky, so I ask you for a prescription. Father's birthday is coming soon, and Yi is here The eldest sons in the village are all bestowed by their parents."

"My Highness hugged me when I was a child, but now he stands close to me no matter what, watching..."

"Bold!" Duan Yi hadn't finished speaking, the leader of the guards standing behind who was originally lazy, looked like a tiger or leopard just waking up from a nap, with his eyes wide open and roaring angrily!

Duan Yi squinted his eyes. The guard was wearing a gilded armor with vermilion, the breastplate on his chest was dazzling, a long sword was pinned to his waist, and he was wearing a pair of black boots with gold thread on them. Embroidered auspicious clouds.

The people around were startled by this yell, and when they looked over, Duan Yi covered her heart with a pale face, and took three steps back.

From the corner of her eye, Cui Zi gently raised the teacup to this side, although he didn't speak or even show any expression.

But Duan Yi felt as if she had read his heart: what a pretentious woman!

The old lady who was talking to Duan Xian frowned, and asked, "What happened? But Yi'er said something wrong and offended His Highness? She was young, and it was the first time she saw such a scene. Your Highness, don't argue with her."

Chen Ming shook his head, and raised his bony hand, the veins on the back of the hand were clearly visible.

"Mu Yu, you step back. Miss Duan San didn't mean anything else, it's because I didn't make it clear." Chen Ming's tone was strong, and the guard commander named Mu Yu glared at Duan Yi and retreated.

Not this one, Duan Yi thought.

It was neither the man in black who killed his uncle Gu Xuzhao, nor the man who killed the old magic stick on the streets of Jincheng a few days ago.

Thinking about it, she put away the temptation, patted her chest, and said apologetically, "Third Highness, I was the one who was rude, I..."

Chen Ming wasn't annoyed at all, "I was about five years old at the time, and my concubine asked my uncle to take me to Duan Xiang's mansion, and wanted to have enlightenment with me. It just so happened that you were born on that day..."

As Chen Ming said, he stretched out his hand and gestured a few times, "It's just a little bit, it's fleshy. Its hair was swarthy when it was born, and its eyes were opened and turned around. Master Duan saw that I was greedy, so he let me hug her ..."

He spoke in a serious manner, "I didn't fall. My uncle was afraid that I would fall, so he stretched out his hand to support it. So I'm only five years older than you, not that old."

Duan Yi felt a little embarrassed when she heard it.

The absurd little tricks of their teacher's sect are really fatal to such a decent person!
Seeing that Duan Yi was a little embarrassed, Chen Ming thought for a while, groped in his sleeve pocket, found out an oiled paper bag, and handed it to Duan Yi, "It doesn't matter, you have been here all this time, whoever doesn't know is not guilty. "

"Some red bayberries, pickled with sugar, you can eat them."

As he spoke, he stuffed the paper bag into Duan Yi's hand, and walked back in a leisurely manner.

The people around looked at it, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, laughing and rounding up the scene. After a while, the scene became lively again.

The old lady Duan sitting on top looked at it, her eyelids twitched, she pointed to the empty seat next to Duan Shu, and said, "The Third Highness is open-minded, he won't be as knowledgeable as a little girl like you, what are you doing in a daze, go Sit over there with your second sister."

Duan Yi's face regained its color, blessed her body, walked towards Duan Shu who had already been seated at some time, and sat down carelessly.

Duan Shu snorted, "Sit with me and feel wronged, can't you do it? You are in the limelight, first the Fifth Highness, and then the Third Highness. Don't say you don't understand the order of the elders and the younger."

The silk music was loud, and the famous actors who sang ditty songs were just at the point of excitement, many stood up in twos and threes to persuade them to drink, and some even stood up and danced to the song.

Duan Shu's voice was almost drowned in the noise.

Duan Yi raised her eyebrows and moved closer to her, "Is Second Sister worried about Eldest Sister?"

When Duan Shu heard it, her voice became sharper, and she looked at Duan Yi suddenly, "My elder sister is both talented and beautiful, and she can play the piano well, even the imperial concubine in the palace has praised it; The eldest sister is less than fourteen, so she embroiders a picture of a hundred birds celebrating birthday."

"Let's not talk about that, let's talk about talent and learning. Even His Majesty admires it. If the elder sister is a gentleman, he will definitely appoint her to be the number one scholar. In the entire capital, there is no one who is better than my elder sister! "

As Duan Shu said, she picked up the wine cup on the table and drank it down in one gulp.

She drank in a hurry, and a few drops of wine hung on her lips, shining brightly.

Almost at that moment, Duan Yi felt seven or eight hot gazes. She frowned, shifted her body slightly, took out her handkerchief, and threw it to Duan Shu.

Duan Shu's eyes turned red, she pursed her lips, watching Duan Yi's movements, her expression relaxed a bit.

"Don't be complacent. If there is anyone in the Duan family who wants to marry into the royal family, it must be the elder sister. My grandfather intended to ask her to marry the Third Highness. It is the elder sister who has not let go of her mouth, which is why it didn't work!"

"The Third Highness is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. He is approachable and considerate of etiquette. He is close to brother Ming, so he gave you a high look."

Duan Yi listened to Duan Shu's words, and cupped her hands, "Second Sister is right, Eldest Sister is the number one fairy daughter in the capital. I almost called His Highness Uncle just now, what do you think I can do?" mean?"

Duan Shu was stunned for a moment, the word uncle made her brain buzz, when she recovered, her face was flushed red, almost dripping blood.

"Laugh if you want to laugh, don't hold back, I'll make you happy," Duan Yi joked, tilting her head while watching.

Duan Shu broke her skills all of a sudden, burst out laughing, she turned her head away, revealing her glowing red ears, and snorted again, "Why am I happy? She belongs to my eldest sister!"

As she spoke, she glanced at Duan Xian who was sitting beside Mrs. Duan, then lowered her head and sighed softly.

"Why is Second Sister sighing?"

"What's the use of being number one in the capital? After all, all these years of hard work have been in vain..." Duan Shu said softly, picked up the flagon and poured a glass of wine for Duan Yi, "You haven't drunk it, have you? From the capital, only a few jars of fruit wine can be produced a year."

"Don't get drunk, I will help you back when the time comes!"
