The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 105: Immortal Medicine

"Xuan'er, princess, come and sit down." Li Shi cheerfully pointed to the chair beside her.Today she was wearing a light gold embroidered peony sleeve, looking elegant and luxurious, her gray hair was neatly combed, and she also wore two or three gold inlaid jade swings.

After Zhao Shuang followed Yang Xuan to deliver the congratulatory gifts, she sat next to Mrs. Li and looked around. It was still early and she did not see Honghu and Chen Yang.

Not long after, several of Yang Ling's colleagues in the court and their families arrived at the flower hall of Chenxiang Garden one after another. They all congratulated An Guogong on his birthday, and then paid respects to the Prince Regent and the Eldest Princess.

"The couple who came in are the son and daughter-in-law of Mr. Gu from the Ministry of War." Yang Xuan introduced them one by one to Zhao Shuang when he had nothing to do. "The two behind are Mr. He and his wife from the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Zhao Shuang nodded while trying to remember the names and faces of these people, but found that after seeing several adults like a revolving door, his mind was already confused and he couldn't tell who was who.

When Yang Xuan introduced, he deliberately skipped a few young women.

To congratulate Mr. An on his birthday, several of Yang Ling's colleagues brought their daughters who were about to marry. Zhao Shuang felt it was very strange. Later, he saw Mrs. Li greeted several young ladies graciously, and even asked those young ladies to visit him. And the regent, just guessed.

The Duke and Mrs. Guo probably wanted to take this opportunity to find one or two concubines for their son.

She turned her head and glanced at the man beside her. The man's beautiful swan-neck silhouette was glowing, and he was chatting with An Guogong on business affairs without squinting, as if he didn't care about Yingying and Yanyan who surrounded him.

"Your Majesty pays homage to the Prince Regent, His Royal Highness the Concubine." He Da, Minister of the Household Department, lined up for a long time, and finally pulled Mrs. He and led a pretty girl over, saluting, "This is the little girl Yuqi."

"Yuqi has met the Prince Regent, His Royal Highness the Concubine." The girl in a light green dress bowed gracefully, secretly raised her eyes to the handsome man in the light blue brocade robe, her heartbeat stalled.

"Excuse me." Yang Xuan waved his hand, and said modestly to Mr. He, "Master He, please take care of the flood in the Yao River..."

"Don't worry, my lord. In a few days, I will go to inspect the banks of the Yaohe River and properly resettle the victims." He Da was flattered and desperately nodded, and then found a seat at the next table, let Mrs. He and his daughter sit down, and walked across the aisle to Yang Xuan. He laughed and said, "My lord is working hard for state affairs, so it's time to take care of your health..."

He Da is over fifty years old and has a big belly, but he still attaches great importance to appearance. His white hair on the sideburns looks like it has been colored, it is pitch black, and his beard is intentionally trimmed into a broom shape.

Mrs. He is in her early forties and has a pretty face, but her eyebrows seem to be preoccupied.

He Yuqi hid behind Mrs. He, unable to see her face clearly.Zhao Shuang tilted her head and looked at the family of three, then picked up the tea and quietly observed Yang Xuan's reaction.

The man's eyes were deep, he was handsome and flawless, and his clean profile stood out among a room full of well-fed, half-aged men, and soon became the focus of the eyes of all the women in the room.

Not long after, several adults brought their own daughters, and they all gathered around the seat of the regent, looking for tables to sit down, trying to put their daughters where the regent could see them as much as possible.

"My lord," Zhao Shuang heard a few words from the regent talking about business with several adults, then gently pulled his light blue sleeves and said, "I'll go out...to breathe for a while."

Knowing that she was bored, Yang Xuan saw that the banquet was half an hour away, so she asked, "How about I go for a walk with you?"

"Okay!" She nodded happily.

The people in the room were immediately discouraged. They were still trying their best to squeeze forward and talk high-spirited just now. Seeing Yang Xuan get up, they instantly fell silent.

Zhao Shuang and Yang Xuan got up, bowed to Yang Ling and Li Shi, then walked out of the flower hall for a while, and took a walk in the Chenxiang Garden.

The Chenxiang Garden is built on the mountain, with a pleasant view. At this moment, the evening wind blows and the sun sets.

The fragrance of flowers in the garden is refreshing and refreshing.

The two walked hand in hand on the cobblestone-paved corridor in the garden, and the noise and greetings of people in the flower hall came from behind them.

"This Chenxiang Garden was my favorite place to play when I was a child, and it hasn't changed for many years." Yang Xuan pulled her over a small slope, introducing her to the flowers and plants in the garden while walking, and suddenly pointed to a A big pine tree said, "Look, there are squirrels in that pine tree. When I was a child, I loved feeding squirrels."

He didn't wear an official uniform today, but only chose a light blue brocade robe that glowed with streamers. Without the aloofness and arrogance of the past, he looked young and frivolous, even a little childish.

Zhao Shuang looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, she saw a pair of nimble little eyes. In just a moment, those eyes quickly slipped away, and hid in a high place to peek down.

"Maybe this squirrel is the one you fed before?" Zhao Shuang teased, pointing at the tree, "Look at it staring at you."

Yang Xuan looked up at the squirrel helplessly.

"Yang Xuan! You haven't come back to feed me for many years!" Zhao Shuang covered her mouth with one hand, imitating a squirrel and screaming, "Did you bring pine nuts today?"

The man in green robe was amused by her and laughed.

"It's the one from before!" Zhao Shuang took his hand coquettishly.

"How could it be? After so many years, the squirrel in the past has long since died," Yang Xuan picked up a branch, hit the grass twice, then dragged Zhao Shuang into the grass, stood under the pine tree, and raised the branch again Pointing to a tree hole in the tree, "But... this tree hole is the same."

"Perhaps this little squirrel has also been in a coma for more than ten or twenty years, or...did he take some kind of elixir?" Zhao Shuang covered her mouth and laughed, but suddenly her face turned pale, and her smile disappeared.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly unhappy?" The man in the light blue brocade robe blinked his handsome eyes and looked at her puzzled.

"My lord," Zhao Shuang raised his head and said faintly, "There is something I've always wanted to tell you."

"What's so serious about it?" Yang Xuan smiled slightly, patted the back of her head and said, "This king gallops on the battlefield and dominates the court, what scene haven't I seen? If you have anything to do, just tell me, don't hold it in your heart. "

The slender figure of the man stood among the green mountains, his light blue brocade robe fluttering slightly in the wind, exuding an indescribably free and easy charm.

"I discovered one thing. In the past year since I woke up, my appearance has not changed at all, and my figure...has not changed..." Zhao Shuang unconsciously lowered her head and glanced at the area around her waist , found that Yang Xuan was also looking her up and down slyly.

"Isn't that a good thing?" The green-robed man raised an eyebrow at her, "What are you worried about?"

"My lord doesn't know. When I took the medicine of immortality, my master said that people who take this medicine are like living outside the world, and they are not allowed to marry and have children." Zhao Shuang said, seeing the light in the man's eyes seemed like It was half extinguished, "My lord, I didn't deliberately hide it from you, but... I always thought that if I changed my body, the medicine of immortality would disappear, but who knew it seemed... still in my body."
