Prince! The political conspiracy is not a play, the show is real

Chapter 119 Flower God Temple Fair (Part )

Chu Huanjun was not a person who liked to join in the hustle and bustle, but he had mentioned the Flower God Temple Fair in Qingshui Town to Tao Yao before, so he paid more attention to it. It happened that he had something to do today, and he happened to pass by the Flower God Temple, so he happened to come in and burn some incense.

It was really just a coincidence, and not something he had been racking his brains over day and night these past few days, trying to figure out how to create an opportunity to meet Tao Yao.

There was a row of stone railing chairs in front of the main hall of the Flower God Temple. Chu Huanjun leaned on one of them, with his back against a large pillar, and closed his eyes to rest.

Who could have known that this man, dressed exquisitely and elegantly, had been squatting here since before dawn, neither going into the temple to burn incense and pray, nor doing anything else. He just fanned himself and took a nap in front of the temple.

I don’t know how long I slept. In fact, Chu Huanjun didn’t fall asleep at all. Suddenly, I felt someone tapping his shoulder. When I opened my eyes, it was Song Zhishou.

Chu Huanjun turned his head away without a good temper, closed his eyes again, waved his hand slowly and said: "If there is nothing, don't bother me. Can't you see I'm sleeping?"

Chu Huanjun's resistance to Song Zhishou wasn't without reason. After accompanying him to Qingshui Town for several days of investigation, Song Zhishou would frequently report his latest findings to him, even going so far as to report on which assassin from Wuyan Pavilion had used which restroom. He was completely obsessive about every detail, and Chu Huanjun was practically annoyed.

I finally found a temple to relax and have some quiet time, but this guy came back again.

Just as Chu Huanjun cleared his throat and was about to pretend to snore, Song Zhishou whispered something in his ear, which made Chu Huanjun jump up from the stone chair.

Song Zhishou said: "Your Majesty, I think I saw Miss Shi Er just now."

Chu Huanjun quickly straightened the two strands of hair that had been messed up by sleep. He looked around for Tao Yao and asked Song Zhishou, "Where is she?"

"Over there." Song Zhishou pointed toward the big willow tree. "I just passed by and saw her there."

Chu Huanjun looked in the direction Song Zhishou pointed, and sure enough, he saw a girl in a pink silk dress standing under a tree. Chu Huanjun suspected he was dazzled, so he rubbed his eyes and looked over there again.

"Did I fall asleep?"

Chu Huanjun was puzzled as he walked closer to the pink color. Tao Yao noticed someone approaching her and suddenly turned around. Seeing it was Chu Huanjun, her expression froze for a moment, then she smiled politely and bowed.

The person in front of me was actually Shi Taoyao.

Chu Huanjun was a little surprised. How could she have become such a different person after not seeing her for a few days? It was not like he had never seen her dressed up like this before, but whether it was when she escaped from the family banquet at the Shi Mansion to the bamboo forest outside the capital that night, or when she was carefully dressed and transformed by the maids while she was temporarily recuperating at his house, she had never looked as fresh and beautiful as she did today.

Tao Yao had only a light touch of rouge on her face, and pink gouache was just the right amount of embellishment on her frosty white skin, which made her bright eyes and white teeth stand out even more. It was obvious that she had done this makeup herself, without any patience, just randomly smearing the light color on her face. But it was precisely this way that gave her a kind of childish and cute appearance that he had never seen before.

She was wearing a peach-pink skirt, and her earrings and hairpins were all decorated with peach blossoms. She looked like a blooming peach blossom, standing in the spring breeze, making the surrounding scenery brighter.

Chu Huanjun looked Tao Yao from head to toe. Tao Yao's bowing gesture was frozen for a long time, and without waiting for him to say hello, she took the initiative to withdraw the courtesy.

Anyway, they are not in the imperial city now, but in the Flower God Temple - Lu Che said, the sky is big and the earth is big, as long as you are in the temple, you are the greatest god.

So what if it was Prince Yi? Here, even Chu Huanjun would kneel down when he saw the Flower God.

Tao Yao guessed that Chu Huanjun was about to say "What a coincidence" to her again, so she spoke before him, "Unfortunately, I met the prince again. I wonder what the prince is busy with today? Is there any business to discuss here at the Flower God Temple?"

Chu Huanjun could tell Tao Yao was mocking him, but he didn't get angry. He deliberately turned the newly painted side of his folding fan over to his chest, fanning it slowly and smilingly greeting her, "Oh, I did come here today to discuss a business deal, and I've been waiting for a long time but no customers have come. It's been a while since I last saw you. Xiao Tao seems to have become prettier. What have you been busy with these days?"

When Tao Yao saw the gouache peach blossom painting on his fan, her heart moved and she couldn't help but smile.

Chu Huanjun usually used black and white ink to paint or write inscriptions on his fans, but today he used pink ink to paint a spring peach branch on the fan, which looked like a deliberate pretentious and ostentatious act.

Tao Yao shook her head and smiled, "How can it be said that we haven't seen each other for a long time? It's only been a few days. I haven't done anything these days. It's just like any other day. I'm just living my life as usual."

Chu Huanjun looked at Tao Yao carefully again. It seemed that compared with her previous appearance in Shi Mansion, she seemed to be a little plumper, with rounder flesh on her cheeks. She always had a smile on her face, and she had completely lost her previous austere temperament.

"It seems Xiaotao has been doing well these past few days."

Chu Huanjun blurted out some irrelevant words, and the moment he said it, even Chu Huanjun himself felt that there was a bit of sourness in his words.

Tao Yao is living a happy life these days, even happier than when she was raised in his own house. It's a pity that he has been losing his appetite and worrying about her day and night these days. Now it seems that he was just being sentimental.

However, the honest and naive Tao Yao could not hear the other meaning in Chu Huanjun's words. She just smiled and replied, "Yes, yes, I have eaten a lot of delicious food in Qingshui Town these days, and saw many scenery I have never seen before. I can't tell you how happy I am."

"Oh? I didn't expect that. I saw you rushing to leave earlier, but you stayed in Qingshui Town for a few days, so I could run into you at the Flower God Temple Fair."

As Chu Huanjun spoke, he slowly folded up the folding fan painted with pink peach blossoms and green willows and hung it around his waist. For some reason, he suddenly didn't feel like fanning himself today.

Tao Yao didn't answer him, probably because she wasn't confident enough. She had indeed stayed for the Flower Goddess Temple Fair these past few days, saying she wanted to have some fun and broaden her horizons, but in reality, wasn't she also obsessed with Chu Huanjun's words?

She probably really had some feelings for Chu Huanjun. As for what kind of feelings they were, Tao Yao couldn't really say.
