Daughter of aristocratic family

Zhao Shuqing waited for a long time, but did not see Chen Xiao. As it got darker, her patience gradually wore away and her face became more gloomy.

"County Master, will something happen to Mr. Chen?" the maid guarding her asked speculatively.

"Shut up." Zhao Shuqing scolded angrily.

The maid bowed her head and took a step back, saying no more.

But the coachman came over and urged, "County Lord, it's getting late. If we don't return, we won't be able to enter the city."

"Wait another quarter of an hour." Zhao Shuqing was unwilling to give in. It was not easy for her to come out.

The driver sighed and stepped aside.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly, but Chen Xiao still did not appear.

"County Master, it's getting late, let's go." The maid reminded carefully.

"Let's go." Zhao Shuqing said frustratedly.

She didn't sprain her foot, it was just an excuse to get close to Chen Xiao.

When they arrived at the mountain gate, they saw the maid standing there. She asked, "Has Mr. Chen left already?"

Zhao Shuqing is not stupid, she guessed it right at once, but the maid dared not admit it, "I have been waiting here. Mr. Chen has never appeared. I don't know whether Mr. Chen has left or stayed in the temple."

Zhao Shuqing's eyes flickered, "Where are Zhao Wangshu and the others?"

"Miss Zhao and the others have left long ago."

"Did you go with Mr. Chen?"

"No."

"Pa" Zhao Shuqing slapped the maid, "Damn you bitch, how dare you lie to me."

"I don't dare." The maid kneeled down and said.

Zhao Shuqing asked sharply: "Did Mr. Chen leave with Zhao Wangshu? How long have they been gone?"

"Mr. Chen did not leave with Miss Zhao and the others, he left before Miss Zhao and the others."

Zhao Shuqing became even more angry, kicked him over, and cursed: "You dare to lie to me? You are so brave, you dare to lie to me."

No matter how angry she got, she couldn't change the fact that Chen Xiao had already left. She angrily got on the carriage and drove to the city.

There is a saying that if a leaky boat encounters a headwind, the carriage will break down halfway.

At dusk, there were only a few pedestrians on the official road, with only five or six people passing by in a hurry. Zhao Shuqing stood by the roadside and had been waiting for nearly two quarters of an hour, but still no vehicle was seen passing by.

"Is there really no way to repair the carriage?" Zhao Shuqing asked impatiently.

"County Lord, the carriage shaft is broken and cannot be repaired." The coachman replied helplessly.

"What should we do now?" Zhao Shuqing asked irritably.

"When the carriage comes, you can ask them to take the county lord back to the city."

Zhao Shuqing stamped his feet in annoyance. He was so annoyed that everything was not going well.

After waiting for another two-quarters of an hour, she waited for the carriage. The driver came forward and said, "Brother, my carriage is broken down. Can you tell your master that you can take my county master with you?"

"County Lord? Which County Lord?" A man's voice came from the car.

"I am the head of Chunjuan County, and I would like to ask for your help." Zhao Shuqing said.

The car door opened. She didn't recognize the man in the car, but the man knew her. He cupped his hands and said, "The head of Chunjuan County, Xiaosheng Liu Xing, was born in the Duke of Yongguo's mansion."

Zhao Shuqing knelt down and saluted, "Hello, Mr. Liu."

Liu Xing looked at Zhao Shuqing, who was as weak as a willow supporting the wind, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, "The county master does not need to be polite, the county master's carriage is broken, the young man can take the county master back to the city along the way." "Thank you, Mr. Liu." Zhao Shuqing said softly. Weakly authentic.

"County Lord, please get in the car." Liu Xing's eyes flashed slightly, and the smile on his lips had an unknown meaning.

The two maids helped Zhao Shuqing get into the carriage, and the coachman stayed where he was, guarding the carriage. After all, there was a piano and some things in the carriage.

The carriage started slowly. Liu Xing looked at the woman close at hand and took a deep breath. The faint fragrance made his mind wander.

"Where did the county lord come from?" Liu Xing spoke, breaking the silence between them.

"I'm going to Fayuan Temple to enjoy the flowers." Zhao Shuqing lowered his head, revealing a section of his fair neck.

Liu Xing's throat slid slightly and his eyes darkened, "The peach blossoms in Fayuan Temple are in full bloom. The county master must be feeling relaxed and happy during this trip."

Zhao Shuqing nodded lightly, "It is indeed a rare sight."

"County Lord, do you know the legend of Peach Grove in Fayuan Temple?" Liu Xingyi showed his profound knowledge in front of Zhao Shuqing.

Zhao Shuqing raised his eyes, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, "Legend of Peach Grove?"

"Exactly." Seeing Zhao Shuqing's interest, Liu Xing recounted vividly, "A hundred years ago, there was a monk in Fayuan Temple who watered the peach trees in the temple every day, but the peach trees only grew leaves and no flowers. One day, he found one of the peach trees bearing a peach."

"No results? This is unlikely." Zhao Shuqing frowned.

"This peach is extraordinary. It is golden in color. The monk picked it out of curiosity. Unexpectedly, the peach turned into a stone after being picked." Liu Xing said, staring at Zhao Shuqing.

Zhao Shuqing didn't take it seriously, "Stone?"

"Exactly." Liu Xing nodded, "The monk put the stone in the center of the peach forest with a try mentality. Since then, the peach trees in Fayuan Temple have bloomed, and they have become more and more beautiful. .”

"Does that stone have a name?" Zhao Shuqing thought this story was interesting.

"Yes, it's called 'heart stone'."

"Peach heart stone?" Zhao Shuqing read it silently, "I didn't expect that the peach blossoms in Fayuan Temple bloomed so beautifully because of a stone."

"That's right, Miss Zhao, this stone is the key to the blooming peach trees in Fayuan Temple." Liu Xing's eyes wandered over Zhao Shuqing from time to time. His slender waist and delicate skin made his heart beat faster.

"Mr. Liu, you know so much." Zhao Shuqing looked at him with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

Liu Xing was secretly happy, but he still kept a calm expression on his face, and said modestly: "Miss Zhao is so complimentary. These are just legends and stories, nothing."

The carriage moved forward all the way. In the carriage, Liu Xing and Zhao Shuqing were chatting, like a pair of confidants who had known each other for a long time.

Liu Xing sent Zhao Shuqing outside the residence of Princess Ruichang. Zhao Shuqing thanked him politely and went in.

Although Liu Xing was not able to see Princess Rui, it did not prevent him from paying a visit the next day.

The reason is to return a pearl that Zhao Shuqing left on the carriage. The pearl was forbidden by Zhao Shuqing.

Liu Xing deliberately pulled it off while she wasn't paying attention, just to have an excuse to pester Zhao Shuqing.

He was just a concubine from a side branch of Duke Yongguo's palace. The noble ladies looked down on him, and he was not willing to marry a concubine from a poor family.

Zhao Shuqing, the queen's grandson, the eldest princess's adopted daughter, and the titled county head, was a perfect match for him.

When Liu Xing made various excuses to pester Zhao Shuqing, Zhao Wangshu was also pestered.

The person who was pestering her was not a man, but the daughter of the Minister of Taichang Temple and Princess Zhuocheng County. "Miss Zhao, I really like this pearl phoenix crown. Just sell it to me."

"Miss Wu, I have told you many times that this pearl phoenix crown was customized by Miss Qin and cannot be sold to you. You can look at other phoenix crowns." Zhao Wangshu said patiently.

"Then can I customize one?" Seeing that she never changed her words, Miss Wu could only settle for the next best thing.

Although Zhao Wangshu hates Prince Zuocheng, she does not hate money. "I wonder what kind of phoenix crown Miss Wu wants?"

My throat is finally not so painful. I don’t need injections tomorrow. Thank God, thank earth, and thank the doctor.
