Chapter 21 Where is she

"Have you found it?"

Zhu Rongzhan twirled the chess pieces, propped his cheeks, and looked at the shiny and white white chess with his fingertips, with a complicated look on his face.

In front of him, there was a one-armed attendant kneeling on one knee.

This man was a veteran scout in the frontier army and lost his left arm in a battle.He was supposed to be returned to his original place, but it happened that Zhu Rongzhan was reborn and selected a new attendant, so he jumped into the sky and became the prince's bodyguard.

He has a slippery personality, he speaks people's words when he sees people, and he talks nonsense when he sees the devil. He was very popular in the army. Zhu Rongzhan let him out to collect information. It didn't take long for him to become one with the people in the market.

Because he had been stationed at the border for a long time, he could speak many foreign languages, including Beirong dialect.

However, in front of others, he was glib, and in front of Zhu Rongzhan, the attendant respectfully said, "Return to Your Highness, we have found it."

"What's the history?"

"The Beibei businessman said that swallowing fire leaves is harmless to the body. In Beibei, it is just a snack that children like. If you take too much, your whole body will burn like a fire. If you eat more, you will be dizzy like drunk, but as long as Drinking kumiss can relieve it."

Just like what the doctor said.

Zhu Rongzhan closed his eyes. "Kumiss..."

The genius doctor once studied a highly poisonous weed and found that the poisonous weed originated from Beirong, so he went to the frontier to inquire about the medicinal properties of the herb.

He discovered that there is a special processing method in Beirong, which can completely remove the toxicity. After people swallow it, they will feel hot all over, and it can be relieved by drinking kumiss.

However, this knowledge is extremely rare for Datu people, unless they have been to the border, it is difficult to know.

Zhu Rongzhan frowned slightly, thinking, Ayu has been raised in a deep boudoir since birth, how would he know such a thing?

"The Beirong businessman said that swallowing fire leaves is not a commodity for sale, and ordinary people in Datu don't know it at all, so he remembers very clearly that it was on the afternoon after the lady of the Lin family returned from the palace, there was a woman wearing a bamboo hat. The woman, with her maid, asked him to buy fire-swallowing leaves and kumiss in Wanzhou Commercial Market."

"The afternoon after returning from the palace," Zhu Rongzhan smiled wryly, "That's it... can't wait?"

The scout bowed his head and dared not answer.

Zhu Rongzhan didn't want to get any answer from him. He thought and thought, but couldn't help asking again: "Are you sure it's harmless to your body?"

"Yes, the Beibei businessman said that fire swallowing leaves have been popular in Beibei for many years. As long as they are processed properly, there will be no toxins. Moreover, the fire swallowing leaves he sold to... were originally intended to be eaten by himself. harmless."

The scouts originally thought that Zhu Rongzhan would be furious, how could such a big man like him tolerate being fooled by others?But Zhu Rongzhan showed a relieved smile.

Great.

Ayu will be fine.

He dropped the white chess piece at his fingertips, and asked again: "That's good. Have you made arrangements?"

"Yes, in order to prevent others from finding out, this subordinate has already bought all his goods, gave him a reward, and asked him to leave Datu immediately."

"Yes." Zhu Rongzhan nodded, and picked up another black chess piece.

Someone tampered with the result of his horoscope with Ayu - it's ridiculous, it's not that he has never matched his horoscope with Ayu, how could he not know if they are compatible?
very suitable!very suitable!Could not be more appropriate!

But this shows that some people don't want Ayu to become the princess.

Zhu Rongzhan knew who they were, and it was probably done by his mother.

In his previous life, he knew that the empress mother wanted Luo's daughter to be his first wife, but filial piety was the top priority, and the empress dowager had already made up her mind, and she had no choice.

Now that there are many variables, the queen mother probably thinks that there is hope again.

In the past, he didn't care and was too lazy to care about these things, but in this life, as a prince, his only wife can only be Ayu; if he is an emperor, his queen must also be Ayu.

If it is aimed at the crown princess, someone will definitely target Ayu.

If it weren't for the genius doctor who is proficient in medical science and happened to have been to Beirong, it would be difficult for others to find this clue.But since he can find out, others can also find out if it is not complete, so he still has to help Ayu clean it up.

This is a matter between their husband and wife, they can solve it themselves, and outsiders are less likely to interfere.

He placed the black chess pieces next to the two white chess pieces. Looking at the black and white chess game, a smile appeared on his lips.

In the courtyard that was deposed by exile, he and Ayu had no other game to entertain him. Seeing him depressed, she used a branch to draw a grid on the dirt and taught him how to play backgammon.

At the beginning, he was disdainful in every possible way, the six arts of a gentleman, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he has been taught by famous teachers since he was a child, and he is proficient in all of them. This backgammon is just a child's play.

"It's unreasonable! Ben Gong learns from a national player, and he can't play chess unless he is famous!"

"Like playing or not." Ayu rolled his eyes: "Circle or cross?"

Zhu Rongzhan: "...the circle."

Ayu smiled, and pulled him to sit on the threshold together.

She said: "For the sake of your condescension, I will reluctantly let you go first."

She rested her elbows on her knees, supported her cheeks, turned her face sideways, and when she lowered her head and surrounded his circle with branches and crosses, she had a calm and gentle expression on her face.

Even though she was wearing a coarse cotton shirt, a cotton and linen skirt around her waist, and her hair was simply tied behind her head, and she had no jewels, rings, or makeup on her body, Zhu Rongzhan suddenly felt that she was so beautiful .

She was a little careless, maybe while coaxing him to be happy, she was thinking about what to eat tonight, what work to do tomorrow, and whether the money for this month is enough.

Zhu Rongzhan thought a little angrily, she was the one who offered to play chess with him, how could she be so distracted?
He sold a loophole, pretending not to see that she has a line of bevels and has two consecutive chess pieces.

At first, Ayu herself didn't see the unexpected joy that was deeply trapped in a circle. After a while, she sat up straight suddenly, and opened her eyes slightly to confirm carefully.

It looked like a cat that saw a fish.

Zhu Rongzhan thought, when did the princess become so cute?

Obviously in the palace before, she looked so serious and old-fashioned, so boring, why now, no matter what she does, she is so lovable?

Lin Yu didn't want to win at first, but now that he saw the opportunity, he immediately took advantage of the victory and pursued it. He drew a big cross and made three chess pieces in a row.

The general trend has been achieved, but Zhu Rongzhan pretended to realize that it was impossible to contain it.

"It's great—!" Lin Yu raised his hands and laughed happily. "I won!"

She raised her chin triumphantly, looked at Zhu Rongzhan who silently wiped away the traces on the soil, and repainted the well, and jokingly said, "Teach from a national player, huh?"

Zhu Rongzhan pursed his lips tightly, as if unwilling.

But he just bit his lip so hard that he couldn't help laughing.

She always makes him happy.

He also likes her laughing.

I like the way she looks at him with sparkling eyes.

I like her being unruly, unruly, disrespectful to him, disrespectful, like her joking with him, teasing him, making fun of him, and even losing her temper with him.

From childhood to adulthood, very few people have lost their temper with him.

His father's anger will make him wronged, his mother's anger will make him uncomfortable, and his courtiers' remonstrance will make him angry.

Only Ayu's anger would make him flustered.His heart became sore and astringent, fearful and uncomfortable, as long as she could smile again, he was willing to do anything.

From throwing clothes around, he has learned to fold, wash, and dry clothes by himself; he has learned to chop firewood, light fire, cook, cook, and boil water without touching his fingers; when Ayu was tired of spinning, he Go give her a massage, pinch her shoulders and rub her waist.

As long as she said: "Brother Zhan is amazing!"

He felt that his whole body was full of strength.

When he was reborn and came back, in the East Palace, there was still a remnant game of chess that he played against his national player master the night before.

At that time, he gradually calmed down after being horrified. After realizing what happened, he looked at the chess game and remembered how he was hungry and thirsty in his previous life, dragging his master until late at night, and how he couldn't wait to summon him to continue the next day.

Now, all he thinks about is: when can I play backgammon with Ayu again?
He now has the best and most expensive chess pieces and chessboard.

But he only wanted that one, someone who would sit with him on the threshold, draw tic-tac-toe with branches on the dirt floor, and use circles and crosses to represent black and white chess pieces.

Where is she?
