Chapter 228 Attracting Bees
  Huizhi spoke in a very low voice. As he spoke, he looked towards several other people: "Not only Princess Dunzhu, Miss Wan and Miss Qing are also far away from you. It seems that they started from getting off the carriage."
  "The prince and the young master are also estranged. Judging from the previous events, it shouldn't be!"
  "You also discovered it." Shen Zhuoxi carried the bamboo basket prepared by the farmer's wife, slowly broke off a bunch of lychees from the branches, and said, "This is their purpose today."
  "Ah?" Hui Zhi still doesn't quite understand: "Even if Princess Dunzhu wants to do harm to you, Miss Wan and Miss Qing should not do it. How many benefits have you given them these days."
  "What if someone else gives me a greater benefit?" Shen Zhuoxi turned around and winked at Huizhi mischievously: "The two sisters have spent more time following Dunzhu in the past few days than they have followed me."
  "Dundup was very generous. He gave them rouge and jewelry. If I guessed correctly, the new clothes the two sisters are wearing today were also given by Dundup."
  "With such a comparison, the balance in their hearts must be biased towards Dundup."
  Huizhi looked at Sister Shen Wanwan again through the tall lychee tree.
  It just so happened that Sister Shen Wanwan was also looking at their master and servant. Faced with Hui Zhi's gaze, Shen Wanwan did not avoid it, but said loudly: "Second sister, why don't we have a competition to see who can pick up this basket first?"
  "I want to appreciate such a beautiful scenery slowly. Let's compare it with Qing Qing." Shen Zhuoxi replied with a smile.
  While he was talking, a few more bees flew over and circled around Shen Zhuoxi.
  "It's really annoying." Huizhi waved her handkerchief to drive away the bees and muttered, "If you don't go pick flowers, what are you doing around Miss?"
  The wind brought by the handkerchief made the bees fly farther, but after a while, they came back again, and there were a few more bees.
  "Strange." Huizhi noticed something was wrong and said, "To say that bees like the sweetness of lychees, they should be around lychees. Is it because of the lychees in the basket in your hand?"
  "Maybe." Shen Zhuoxi had a vague idea in his mind, and handed the basket to Hui Zhi: "Try to take it."
  The basket was in Huizhi's hand, but the seven or eight bees were still swirling around Shen Zhuoxi.
  Hui Zhi also thought of something and said in a lower voice: "The scented bracelet on your wrist!"
  Shen Zhuoxi had guessed it just now. She rolled up her sleeves, and the bees flew lower and swooped towards her wrist.
  Huizhi was about to call someone, but Shen Zhuoxi stopped her and said, "It's not a problem, I have a solution."
  She took out a packet of medicinal powder from her purse, gave some to Hui Zhi, and said, "I knew I was going to come out, so I specially brought the powder to repel mosquitoes, snakes, and ants. It has a hint of herbal scent. You can also sprinkle some on your body."
  The movements of the master and servant soon attracted Dunzhu's attention.
  Dunzhu stood across a row of branches and asked with concern from a distance: "What's wrong with you? Do you want help?"
  "Some bees came to grab lychees from me. It's no problem." Shen Zhuoxi looked up with a smile and asked Dunzhu nonchalantly: "How many did you pick?"
  "Not much, I like big fruits." Dunzhu raised the basket in his hand and said, "I'll go look for it."
  "Wait a minute." Shen Zhuoxi nimbly crossed the branches and trotted towards Dunzhu: "Let's go together."
  "No way." When Dunzhu saw her coming, he quickly took two steps back, raised the bamboo basket in his hand, and said: "I like to run around, but for you, a daughter of Shengdu, I will lose my rules. "
  "It's okay. Now that we're out, what are the rules?" Shen Zhuoxi ignored Dunzhu's words, stepped forward and jumped on her, lowered the bamboo basket he held high and took a few steps to hold her wrist.
  The bees also followed. Dunzhu was hit, so he moved to the side vigilantly and said: "It's already hot outside. Although there is shade, it will be even hotter if you hold hands like this."
  "You were holding my arm just now." Shen Zhuoxi frowned and said, "Is it because you still have some obstacles in your heart?"
  "That's not what I meant." Dunzhu responded with a smile, his eyes fixed on the bees, and said: "Aren't you worried that you will sweat for a while and have no place to change clothes? Let's pick lychees separately first, okay?"
  "That's fine." Shen Zhuoxi let go of Dunzhu's hand and said, "I just saw a nice red lychee over there, so I went to pick it first."
  "Go ahead." Dunzhu quickly threw away his arm and said, "I'll go to the front and have a look."
  Huizhi and Shen Zhuoxi stood there. Dunzhu had already walked far away and was still looking back at Shen Zhuoxi.
  Seeing Shen Zhuoxi staring at her without moving, he quickly turned around and disappeared into the litchi garden.
  Huizhi looked at Dunzhu's back and said in a low voice: "This Princess Dunzhu is really bad. She actually wants to use the fragrant beads to attract bees."
  "She is afraid of being like that, and she doesn't forget to harm others. Miss, why don't you just throw away the bead, and just say that you don't know when it disappeared. Anyway, the lychee garden is so big that it will be difficult to find it."
  "Just wait." Shen Zhuoxi raised his hand, looked at his empty wrist, and said with a smile: "She will soon know what it means to suffer for herself."
  "Huh?" Hui Zhi curiously pulled Shen Zhuoxi's wrist and said in surprise: "Where are the beads?"
  She had been accompanying Shen Zhuoxi the whole time, and she didn't even see the chance to get the beads away.
  Shen Zhuoxi put down his sleeves, winked mischievously, and said, "Just when I was holding her arm, I put the bracelet in her purse."
  "Oh!" Hui Zhi suddenly realized: "You mean, the new purse Princess Dundup bought!"
  Xu really liked the mandarin duck on the purse, so Dunzhu hung the purse around her waist, along with a small sachet.
  Shen Zhuoxi took out the sachet that was supposed to be hung around Dunzhu's waist like a magic trick and said, "The reason why she dared to wear the fragrant beads first was because of this sachet."
  "The sachet contains a lot of mosquito-repelling spices, which is enough to deter bees from approaching."
  "Wow, you have good hand speed." Hui Zhi clapped her hands in surprise, still excited: "If he can practice martial arts, he must be a good young man. When I just looked at you and held Princess Dunzhu in your arms, I seemed to have bumped into her. "
  "I didn't expect that in just a short moment, I could do two things."
  "No, it was Dunzhu who gave me a good opportunity." Shen Zhuoxi said with a smile: "She was only focused on the bees and me, and she didn't even notice that the sachet was gone, and the purse was already open."
  Huizhi nodded and said: "That's right, and Princess Dunzhu's maid has brought her water, so the timing is good."
  After she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong and wondered: "But when a bee stings her, everyone will definitely find a string of fragrant beads in her purse. How should we explain it?"
  "It's all up to you." Shen Zhuoxi pursed his lips in the direction where Dunzhu disappeared, and threw the sachet into the grass: "Let's catch up, and we must get the purse as soon as possible!"
  The master and servant were picking lychees while walking, and soon they caught up with Princess Dundup.
  At this time, there were already more than a dozen bees around her waist, and there were many more bees approaching not far away from her...
