The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

Zuo Hongwen was wearing a sky-blue summer cloth with straight stitching. This kind of fabric was comfortable and refreshing and very suitable for summer.

But it is too common and is rarely used by young masters of noble families.

He has a handsome appearance and a calm personality. Being well-read, he can make ordinary materials look elegant and refined.

Seeing the palace gate in front of him, Zuo Hongwen stopped there and bowed, saying, "Princess, the Huitong Hall is in front of us. There are many people there, so I will not stay with you for the time being."

Princess Zhao Xuan, dressed in a red palace dress, looked up at him and said, "Mr. Zuo, are you always so cautious? I thought you understood my feelings on the Dragon Boat Festival."

She was very bored in the Princess's Mansion a few days ago and wanted to try her luck in the Treasure Pavilion. It would be great if she could meet Chu Jie'er.

When the carriage arrived at the bookstore, some people leaned on the open windows, looking at the things inside and sighing.

From the few words I heard, there was a bidding on a painting inside.

She was curious for a moment, so she put on her veil, got off the carriage and walked into the bookstore.

It was a picture of a galloping horse. The horse was coming towards her from afar, galloping, making her feel its strong character and noble bearing.

It was the best painting of a horse she had ever seen, and it embodied all the feelings she wanted.

There is galloping, roaring, and the power to strive for progress.

It's a pity that the person who made this painting is unknown. I don't know who said, "Hongwen, is this your painting?"

Several scholars in straight clothes appeared in the crowd, and she saw the handsome young man at first sight.

After learning that he was the owner of the painting, people paid even more attention to him.

That day he was also wearing the same summer cloth shirt he wore today, with a gentle smile on his face that was as gentle as the breeze, making him easy to spot in the crowd at a glance.

Even without fancy clothes, she is still the most shining one.

After several contacts, she appreciated his knowledge and character even more, which were different from the young masters of noble families she had met before.

The smile on Zuo Hongwen's face faded a little. "The princess is showing me favor. Our status is too different. I know that my status is low, so I dare not have any desire for the princess."

After saying that, he took a step back, putting some distance between them.

Zhao Xuan followed him with her eyes, not understanding why his attitude had changed so much in just a few days. Thinking of what he had just said, she frowned and asked:

"Did someone tell you something? I am the eldest princess. Apart from my mother and father, no one else can rule over me."

Zuo Hongwen turned sideways, unable to maintain the smile on his face, and said with some difficulty:

"Please be careful with your words, Princess. You don't know that your words may cause me to lose what I have now. What you have at your fingertips is the height that I will look up to throughout my life."

Zhao Xuan didn't quite understand what he meant, so she saw him bow and say, "Greetings, the eldest prince."

The sight of him crouching down seemed a little jarring to her, so she turned her head away.

"Yongle, why are you standing here? I just saw the fifth master of the Jiang family in the palace." The speaker was a young man dressed in the prince's uniform.

He walked out of Huitong Hall, and just as he stepped over the threshold, the eunuchs accompanying him stretched out their arms, looking ready for battle.

"Brother, what are you going to do? Just tell the palace maid to do it." Zhao Xuan greeted the eldest prince Zhao Kang when he saw him.

The eldest prince Zhao Kang is the eldest son of the emperor and empress. He has been weak and sickly since birth. Even though it is midsummer, he wears thicker clothes than ordinary people.

Zhao Kang came over with a scent of medicine on his body, and smiled faintly, "It's a bit noisy in there, I came out to have some quiet time."

"Brother, why don't you say you don't like them making noise? Those people are..."

"Cough cough..."

Upon hearing this, the eldest prince grunted anxiously twice, asked Zhao Xuan to swallow the unfinished words, walked to his side, and patted him on the back skillfully, "Royal brother, don't be anxious!" He stretched out his hand and asked the attendant beside him to quickly bring the medicine.

The eldest prince took two brown pills as big as his little finger, and his pale face regained some color.

"Yongle's temper is still the same as when he was a child. There's nothing wrong with your royal brother. The banquet is about to begin, so go in quickly." After saying that, he raised his hand and placed it on the arm of the eunuch who was accompanying him. The master and the servant slowly walked towards the pavilion nearby.

Zuo Hongwen stood beside Zhao Xuan and looked in the direction she was looking.

"Princess, we are going in different directions. In order not to cause you any trouble, I will go ahead."

Zhao Xuan responded casually in a low voice. His royal brother said that the banquet was about to begin. If he came out at this time, his father would be unhappy if he knew.

Cuiguo was standing in front of the Huitong Hall. When she saw the eldest princess approaching, she lowered her voice and said, "Princess, Fifth Master Jiang arrived early this morning and was just asking about you."

Zhao Xuan saw her uncle, came to Jiang Nansheng, and looked up and down at the servant beside him.

Under her undisguised gaze, Gu Jinchu blushed and bowed, "Tianqing greets the princess."

Zhao Xuan was still looking at her with her head tilted. Gu Jinchu, who was swaying from her steps, felt dizzy and raised her eyes to look at Jiang Nansheng, as if asking for help.

One of them is the eldest princess of the current dynasty, and the other is the youngest son of Duke Dingguo. The two of them together are attractive enough.

The eldest princess is in this state, it is hard for her not to attract attention.

"The princess will be embarrassed if she does this." Jiang Nansheng took a step sideways, stood in front of Gu Jinchu and whispered.

Zhao Xuan had never seen her uncle like this before, and was a little surprised, but she managed to control her expression very well, "Uncle, what's going on?"

Today, the Fuso envoys came to the emperor and a banquet was held in Huitong Hall.

Not only the emperor and empress would attend, but also adult princes and princesses, important officials in the court, and several successful Jinshi candidates who had performed well in the spring examination.

But it was not possible for Gu Jinchu to appear in such an occasion, and she was disguised in men's clothes.

It would be disastrous if people knew about this!

"Tian...Tianqing, has something happened at home? Why don't you take my token and leave first?" Zhao Xuan couldn't think of any good solution.

"It doesn't matter. As long as the princess doesn't reveal any flaws, no one can reveal her identity." Jiang Nansheng nodded and cupped his hands in one direction, comforting and warning his niece.

Zhao Xuan: "..."

She is redundant!

Gu Jinchu followed the eldest princess, and the two of them walked to an empty flower hall on the side.

Jiang Nansheng was summoned by the emperor, and Zhao Xuan took her out.

"Princess, was it Zuo Hongwen who came with you just now?" Gu Jinchu asked before the princess spoke.
