River City in May

[12] Red apricot branches

It rained all night upstairs, and the river was cold just before dawn.Lin Chen took the unnamed Qingqi on a simple trip, and the light boat took a leaf, all the way into the territory of Southern Chu.

"Why do you want me to bring this?" Weiming pulled the white gauze on the ramen, "It's boring."

Lin Chen held Weiming's hand, looked at the frowning woman, his eyes were unclear, and he just smiled: "It's a custom in Southern Chu that women always wear white scarves to cover their faces when they go out."

"But I'm not a woman from Southern Chu." Weiming seldom entangles like this, "And it's really uncomfortable, will I have to do it every day?"

Seeing the embarrassment in her eyes, Lin Chen suddenly felt a sense of guilt, so he coughed lightly and said, "That...ahem...actually, it's not necessary, but I'm going to take you to see the Emperor of Nanchu today. So the etiquette is still to be observed. After seeing the Emperor of Southern Chu, I will naturally do as you like."

Weiming looked at the already dark sky, and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Then he said no more, the two of them had already entered the palace city of Nanchu, and Nanchu firmly believed in the art of gods and ghosts, and it was precisely because of this that Master Lin Chen's status was respected.

Wherever they walked, the palace people all bowed and avoided.

In just a moment, the palace where the emperor of Southern Chu was discussing affairs was already visible.Weiming has always disliked the court, but it does not mean that she is completely ignorant of the court, otherwise she would not have agreed to enter Southern Chu with Lin Chen.

"Brother Lin!" Suddenly a surprised voice sounded, "You're back!"

Weiming looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw a girl in pink, charming and charming, with joy in her eyes that couldn't be concealed: "I miss you!"

Weiming only felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know what was wrong, but at this time she just entered Nanchu and didn't want to be troublesome, so when she saw Lin Chen stop, she stopped accordingly.

"I've seen Princess Nine." Lin Chen saluted the girl, then turned to look at Weiming, "This is Zhuojing, I told you about it."

Weiming couldn't help but change his expression, his eyes shone with shame and anger.

She finally understood what was wrong. If the customs in Southern Chu were the same as Lin Chen said, women must wear white gauze when they go out. Presumably, it must be a closed-minded folk custom, but the nine princesses spoke their minds without hesitation, how could they be half-closed? meaning.

But she still didn't understand why Lin Chen wanted her to cover her face with white gauze, but the Ninth Princess quickly explained the problem.

She looked at Weiming without evasion, with an innocent look, but she suddenly spoke out provocatively: "Even though it is the custom in Southern Chu that married women must wear white gauze, but she is clearly wearing the hair accessories of unmarried women. Brother Lin, are you lying to me?"

Weiming laughed softly, and suddenly took off the white gauze: "Ninth princess is well, although my husband is a master of Southern Chu, I am the daughter of Liang, so naturally I don't have to follow the customs of Southern Chu."

She knew about the Nine Princesses. On Langya Mountain, she heard that there were seven princes and two princesses in Nanchu.Arranged in order, the nine princesses are the youngest princesses in Nanchu, and they are also the most favored by the emperor.Her boudoir name is Yuwenjia.

As soon as these words came out, Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he really understood her.At a time like this, even if Weiming gets angry, he will fight outside first. .

The "outsider" opened his eyes wide, and then laughed out loud: "I thought it was some stunning beauty, but it turned out to be nothing more than that. I like Brother Lin, and I want to compete with you!"
