Jiayu's life these days is very regular. In the morning, when the sun is not high, she goes to see her freshly baked little nephew, and then manages the house with her mother. After lunch with her mother, she returns to her courtyard to take a nap., and then look at the picture book to write and do nails. Seeing that the sky is getting late, I will walk around with my mother after dinner, lest sitting every day is bad for my health.

Well, it was taught to her by the crown prince back then.

The prince said that many rich and noble girls eat much better than folk girls, but after walking two or three steps, they catch their breath and sweat, because they neither do work nor move around.

Jiayu had nothing to do with work, but she developed the habit of walking around every day, no matter if it was half an hour or how long, she had to move every day.

This day she just woke up from lunch break, and sent Qingzhu to find her painting book, but Chen Mama came in and said: "Girl, the prince is here."

The hand that was yawning froze slightly, she widened her eyes and asked, "Why is the prince here?"

And also picked this time, the hottest afternoon of the day.

Nanny Chen said: "They said they came to visit the old lady, and Lord Hou was so happy that his son came to congratulate him. Miss, do you want to change clothes and go to the front hall to have a look."

"So that's how it is." Jiayu raised her chin, and signaled Qingzhu to find another skirt. She is wearing a homely tulle skirt with large sleeves. This kind of skirt is most suitable for the sweltering summer weather.Although the gauze is cool, the skin is faintly visible, making it hard to see visitors.

After changing into her shirt and skirt, Jiayu went alone.

Sure enough, as soon as arrived at the front hall, saw the man sitting on the teacher's chair.

When she was a few meters away from the door, he heard familiar footsteps, and when the footsteps sounded at the door, the prince also turned his head.The sun was high, and she walked all the way, so that her cheeks would not be flushed by the sun, and in order to block some sunlight, she stretched out a fat-like thick wrist to support her forehead.

"Cousin." There was a smile in the prince's eyes.

Jiayu bent her knees slightly, and after saluting, she asked concerned: "The sun is so big, is the prince coming on a horse or a car? If you ride a horse, you have to be careful, it's not good if you get hot.It's also very hot, did your Highness put ice?"

"He came alone in a carriage, and there is an ice mirror in the carriage." The prince said.

After these words, Mrs. Shen said: "Jiayu, His Highness the Crown Prince has a high status, and the people who serve him are carefully selected. If you don't remember these things, you care a lot, and you are not afraid to worry about His Highness's time."

The prince raised his lower lip lightly: "Don't talk about my cousin, my cousin, she has been a caring and lonely person since she was a child, and you don't know that."

What he said is true, the prince was not favored by his parents when he was young, and Princess Ping will not forget him in major matters, such as studying, enlightenment, and going to the palace to eat banquets, but she will not bother with small things such as clothes, shoes, hats, pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

The prince likes to follow Jiayu every day. At that time, Jiayu thought that although she was called cousin, she was taller and taller and knew more words than the prince, but Qing An's sister.Therefore, she has to bear the blame of being a sister, so she always likes to meddle in his affairs.

The prince has always been well-behaved and obedient, and everything Jiayu says is true.

Mrs. Shen was aware of the friendship between the two, and said with a smile: "But you were still young at that time, but now you are both adults."

"No matter what, my cousin is always my cousin." The prince said.

Jiayu nodded in agreement, and couldn't help asking: "Why do you think your Highness is here today?" According to Da'an's custom, congratulating Nongzhang is after Lin'er's full moon, and now her sister-in-law is only ten days old, soIt's a little too early.

The prince said: "The heavy rain in Henan caused the Yellow River to break its embankment. I'm afraid I have to go to Henan. The little prince's full moon will not be able to catch up."

"Yellow River?" Jiayu frowned subconsciously, "Will it be dangerous?"

The crown prince shook his head and said: "Of course there is no danger to Gu." Seeing Jiayu's worried face, he said softly, "Gu will be back after a month or two."

Jiayu looked at him, hesitated to speak several times: "Your Highness, be careful in everything."

"Cousin, don't worry." The prince said to Jiayu.

Mrs. Shen looked at the two of them, her brows were brought together in the middle, there was no problem with the prince's words and deeds, but seeing him and Jiayu standing face to face, she felt like she couldn't understand what she said.

Just thinking about it, the prince was ready to say goodbye and leave, the prince was busy with government affairs, Madam Shen would not keep him, and Qi An was not around, the mansion was full of female relatives.

After hearing this, Jiayu said, "Mother, send my daughter to Your Highness."

Madam Shen immediately wanted to say no.Although the crown prince and Jiayu are cousins, there is no way that grown-up cousins can avoid suspicion.Before he could say anything, the prince said first: "Then there will be Cousin Lao."

Mrs. Shen couldn't say what she said immediately. She has a soft personality and is not a strong person. After thinking about it, not only Jiayu and the prince were on the road, but also the accompanying servants and servants.It's no big deal to get one free.

Then he nodded in agreement and said, "Jiayu, you can send the prince off."

The summer flowers and leaves are the most intense, and large lotus flowers are piled up in the pond, connected with emerald green lotus leaves.

Jiayu glanced back, and behind them were Qingzhu and Lin guards. They were her and the crown prince's confidantes, so they wouldn't gossip. She called the prince to stop: "Your Highness, wait."

While speaking, she took out a small sachet about the length of her pinky finger from the sachet hanging around her waist, on which was embroidered a bottle of quail.

The prince understands that the bottle means peace, and the quail means safety. Together, it means peace.

Jiayu stuffed the small sachet to the prince: "The sachet contains the peace amulet that I asked Gaoshen of the White Horse Temple to consecrate."

The prince pinched it with his hand, and noticed that there was a charm inside. He lowered his eyes and took a closer look at the small sachet. The stitches and patterns were all from Jiayu's handiwork. He smiled and stuffed the pouch into his cuff: "I have received the gift alone, I know my cousin's heart, and I will come back sooner."

Jiayu thought that he didn't care about wishing him peace, and after listening to the second half of the sentence, she immediately said: "Your Highness, don't worry about it, everything is about your own safety."

The prince looked deeply into Jiayu's eyes: "I know."

After sending the prince to the side door, Jiayu watched the prince get into the carriage and turned back.

The wheels started to chug, and guard Lin saw the prince taking out the sachet with a smile on his face, so he said softly: "Your Highness, after Miss Shen brought the peace amulet back from the White Horse Temple, she enshrined it in front of the small Buddha statue in the Hou's Mansion.I chanted the scriptures for seventy-seven forty-nine days."

"It's up to you to say." The prince said without raising his head.

Guard Lin said: "It's my subordinates talking too much, I just think that Miss Shen doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas, but for the sake of the prince's safety, she would rather believe in them and use up all her piety."

The prince raised his head with a half-smile, "You know the lonely woman quite well."

Guard Lin was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "This subordinate doesn't know Miss Shen at all, I don't know."

The summer is extremely hot, but after two or three months, the heat gradually decreases. When the heat is not so heavy, Zhou's confinement is born, and it is also the full moon feast for the young son of the Marquis of Weiyuan.It's just because Shen Qi was born with a weak body, according to Da'an's tradition, the weak children are afraid that they will not be able to suppress their luck, so they can't hold a full moon wine.

The Shen family discussed it, and immediately decided to invite only two tables of people who are very close to each other for the full moon banquet. When it came to the hundred-day banquet, the temperature was just not too cold, and when Qi'er's health was better, it would be easier to make arrangements.

And after Shen Qi's full moon wine, and Mrs. Shen's work at Zhou's side, the top priority became Jiayu's marriage.

According to her, when she is young, she can choose from a wider range of choices.

So Jiayu was caught by her mother and sister-in-law every day to look at the portraits and listen to the personality and family background of a suitable man in the capital.

But before several people could pick out a satisfactory husband, Princess Kangshan's birthday came.

Mrs. Zhou just gave birth not long ago, and it was inconvenient to go, so Shen Qi'an took Mrs. Shen and Jiayu there.

Princess Kangshan married Ding Guogong's son as his wife thirty years ago. Although she has her own princess mansion, she has always lived in the Guogong's mansion because of her deep love for Ding Guogong's son, Nymphie.Of course, thirty years have passed, and the son of Duke Ding has already accepted the title of Duke Ding, and this Duke has never taken a concubine in his life, only the two sons and one daughter born by the eldest princess.

The mansion of Duke Dingguo is close to the southwest of the imperial palace, less than half an hour away from Marquis of Weiyuan.

Now it's autumn, but there is still heat on the road, Jiayu sits in the carriage, and has to use a round fan from time to time.

Sitting in the carriage, at this time Jiayu heard her elder brother talking to someone outside the carriage, she rolled up half of the carriage curtain, raised her head and looked forward.

A man in a dark round collar and brocade robe was riding on a snow-white horse. Jiayu couldn't see his face from the direction of Jiayu, only half of his face could be seen when he tilted his head to talk to Shen Qi'an.

Jiayu was taken aback, when did he come back?!

It is still a handsome and impeccable side face, but it is not as white as before, which makes women feel ashamed, and it is a lot darker, but it is no wonder that the Yellow River burst due to a heavy rain a month and a half ago, the prince was ordered to patrol the river, and he only returned to Kyoto the day before yesterday.And the summer sun is the hottest, the prince is exposed to the sun every day, can he not get dark?

But there is no need to worry that he will continue to be black. According to the usual way of the prince, he will be able to come back for nothing in at most two or three months.

But besides the darker complexion, Jiayu frowned, the crown prince also lost some weight.

While looking at his back and thinking about it, the man Ruo felt something, and turned around and smiled at her.

Now Jiayu could see clearly, besides the darkening of the prince's complexion, he was also thinner, she frowned unconsciously.
